Bri, I hope you go back and look at your videos and realize the amazing mothering and projects you are completing on your own and that it lifts your spirits and brings you joy! ❤
Bri, your understanding of child development and compassion for your children touches my heart! I am a professional mental health counselor and work with families ♡
Ok, Ms Bri....I am a 65 yr old grandma. I have watched you for a couple years at least. You, my dear, are the instruction book every parent wishes they got with every kid!! I can't praise you enough for your parenting, your massive understanding of how we need to move past the tough times & embrace every beautiful moment. I admire you so much, & find myself turning to you when I'm getting down on myself. So, just know you make a huge difference for a lot of people out here. You are blessed, & we are blessed that you share your life with us. Thanks, Bri!!
My mom would disagree. Evertime I call she asks why Tiffany isn't working. She has 2 Bachelors degrees. I keep telling her some women just want to sit at home and raise kids.🤷♂🤷♂
Your brother was so wise when he found that house - the size/depth of those porches make it possible to enjoy them all year long. Such a huge blessing!
No one knows what it takes to manage everything as a single parent unless you've done it yourself. You're doing great. Your kids will appreciate it all. You're right. They'll realize what they have at about 25. Your garden looks great! Kids always look great. Hang in there. Happy MOTHERS Day
You, my dear, are such an incredible blessing to me. If you only knew. I truly believe that in your struggle, god is using you to bless the rest of us. Keep on grinding.🤗❤🙏
Love the little touches that make a home a home. We have a huge window in our boys room and recently bought a retractable roller curtain that goes up vertically. Hides away when not needed and provides privacy when needed. Would be lovely to have a vertical exterior roller shade for privacy on your back patio 🌱
When it's good enough, it's good, we make do with what we have until we can get what we want. I love your attitude towards raising kids, teach and discipline without crushing. Scold the action/behaviour, not the character
You’re amazing! You always inspire me so much. Also never ever feel the need to explain cleaning up after your children. You have the most wonderful children.
Bri, you had me at "Jingky"!!!! Been there, Done that! Whatever works for right now and move on. I am so proud of you being inspired to do anything necessary for your family to accomplice the task without overdoing it to yourself. BRAVO!!!!!
You are correct about the development of a child's brain. Your insight is AMAZING!! Took me getting my BS degree to understand that. I love your channel. I have been praying for art. IS HE OK!! ? I know so many people aren't nowadays. Seems you have made the most of what you have been given. Wonderful.
Hey! Bri, You are looking good and happy. I am so happy for you and your family. You deserve it. Don’t forget to give all the glory to our great God, because it is easy to forget that in good times. I had been there. Much love. May God continue to bless and protect.
If you've built empathy into them, which I think you have, when they see consequences like the porch railing they will begin to listen to realize Mom's words do actually make some level of sense. Getting him to help with the repairs is super too; even if he just hands over tools.
Just wanted to say your doing great with the upkeep with the house. Can’t wait to see your vision in the years to come❤. Thanks for the upload. Love you all❤
It looks amazing. I used to love picking up for my children occasionally as a single mom. It brought me joy to see their faces when they returned home. Slowly but surely, your vision is coming to life.
Love the porch make over! I would love to have your beautiful porches! Have you thought about a porch shade? They roll up and down. I just saw one at Costco reasonably priced. You are so right about impulsiveness of small children. I am a grandma of 10 and have seen the impulsiveness 10 times! Our youngest grandson is 4 and he just acts on things and does not think everything through. He is such a sweet boy, so adventurous and almost always happy! He is learning though! ❤️
Thank you for the wonderful and uplifting video. It is fantastic to watch you make this house your home. Oh and the birds and nature sounds you have are just so beautiful
I’m always reminding myself that not only is life not perfect (always and never don’t usually apply) and that it can very easy to make judgments about other folks with my limited knowledge of their life circumstances but those judgments are almost always wrong cause I’m not walking in their shoes. So impressed with your willingness to take baby steps to avoid overwhelm. Blessings. Ps I had to laugh when you said how hard can it be? That was my go to for years til I had to start breaking things into smaller projects to get them done.
I was looking @ the same porch setting 😊 The curtains do add a lot of privacy, some people buy white duct painter's tarp for outdoor porch curtains. The ferns look inviting there @ the front steps Bri. You have done well and your house is really becoming a beautiful home! I think you are a fabulous mom & give no credence to criticism or jealousy. Blessings
You are an inspiration. I was having a rough start this morning. I am going out to plant my green beans and then get my booty in gear to clean so i can bless my family. ❤
Well done Bri, i simply love the patio set you chose 👏🤩 its so nice to see looking good and having a fantastic positive attitude going about doing what a lovely mama wants to do for her kids. Wishing your little boy happy brthday ❤🎉🥳🥳
Bri, I love your vision for the yard. As you said, one step at a time. The curtains are a great idea for a bit of privacy. You gave me the motivation to try and put together the two patio chairs I bought (while just looking😉) that have been sitting in their boxes. Blessings.
Oh my goodness, I'm so thrilled to see how you just take a minute, gather your strength from God, and find ways to get things done. Giving yourself grace and space is helping you achieve so much! Praise God!❤😊
I use my deck box to keep my chair cushions in when it rains . My porch is very large and I have always put hanging ferns on it the porch roof protects them and I have to have wind chimes they are so soothing. You’re doing a great job 👏 my swing is hanging and I put my patio furniture facing the swing and a coffee table that is an old chicken crate in the middle. 🌸🌈🌸
Get some command hooks and do a "layered" look for the curtains. Then you can do a little tie back on the main panels to let some air flow in but still maintain your privacy. It will also give it the appearance of depth which will reduce the "janky" feel a bit. :)
Instead of curtains on your porch you could also use those bamboo roll up shades. They would look great with the porch furniture. Not only that, you can also roll them up when not needed
You're super mama! I will never understand why people on here would make judgements about you cleaning up instead of the kids. Kids don't clean to the same standard that mamas do. It's an act of love to create a peaceful living space for all. Sending love and light to you and your family, Bri.
Oh Bri every dream you have re the gardens, tulip everything is so inspirint. And the patio set looks amazing. And you are on an amazing roll jeepers. You are motivating me from the rut I am in. And have been told I am not good enough. WE are enough! Janky is ok! They look lovely. hugs
I always use just what I have. It’s such a good idea of yours. This year a gate and fence blew down from the last huge storm we had and I asked the fence guys to save the wood for me. I took it all apart and had one of my sons cut the wood into lengths I can put together to make raised garden beds. I’m doing that right now. So the look the best? Nope! But they will work for a few years and they were free. I can replace them as Incan afford new nice ones. My idea is to use that weed barrier first and line them then staple the weed barrier over and around each one. Then I can do the cardboard and fill them with sticks, leaves, and compost w/ manure then top soil. It’s an experiment! Fun!! Still can’t plant yet where I live so I’m rushing to get it done before I can. Your porch looks amazing and will look even better as time goes by!! Love your vision of the flower gardens. One of my neighbors had an incredible idea for daffodils!!! She planted them strategically under her grass and they come up before the grass comes out of dormancy each spring. It’s so, so beautiful!!! Then they die down by the time the grass needs it’s first spring cut. I so want to do that someday!!! Looking forward to watching your progress!! Also, thank you for explaining the frontal cortex maturing process!!! So many people don’t understand that and put too many expectations on kids at any age!!! So important to know and act accordingly when raising children. Thank you for that.
When you put the curtains up, reminded me when I was a kid when my dad put roll-up bamboo blinds on the porch. My dad had put a glider swing and patio chairs on porch too. My brother and I would sleep on the porch some nights. What fun times we had. Also, my dad would bring out the small TV on Sundays to watch football. 😊
I bought those fake wicker long roll up shades. Two things it does shades and privacy on my porch when I want it or If I don’t need it I pull my cords and roll them up, I just wash them off with hose pipe and soapy water and buy new ones as needed. The cords can be put on hook that comes with them, I put mine high so small children can’t reach them. They aren’t that expensive and if kept rolled up in bad weather they last years. I love being able to adjust the space I leave to watch my babies play and I still feel like I have privacy.
The porches look amazing! You are so lucky to have two! I used those bamboo blinds to hang for privacy. They are cheap and weather proof, plus they look nice. Happy birthday Wilder! 🎉🎉🎂🎂🐻🐺🦧🦥🦦
HappyBirthday, birthday boy! 🎉 🥳🎉 Your patio is adorable! I would still keep your chairs facing out. It’ll be easier to get to the swing and I still think it’s cozy enough and easy to talk to each other. Great job Bri! People on earth are watching you raise your children so beautifully and I believe those in heaven are also so proud of your parenting! 💗💗💗
Sweet heart you need something to support your back when you are lifting heavy things. You want to be able to enjoy all this so take care of your self. Love you and your family so very much.
LOVE the porch set! So cute! Love the cushion colors too! Love the rug! I thought the exact same thing you about the rug - white side is super cute but brown side is more practical. Ferns are awesome! You are amazing! Super duper MOM and WOMAN!
Bri, I used painter canvas drop cloths for curtains for a party. You could use a wire curtain line and clip on rings so you open and close the curtains. Hope this helps with an idea for you.
I love it - it’s beautiful 😍 I am women hear me roar! You such an inspiration to all of us that has went though some “stuff”! Thanks for sharing! Happiest of birthdays to the kids 🎉
Wow!! Great job, beautiful space!! It's so rewarding to do things! My kids get upset I don't ask for help, but if i can do it I'm gonna! Proud of you!!!!💕🙏💕
Boho, not jenky! It all looks lovely. I have a wooden version of the storage box for my garden tools, but a rat managed to get in, and do damage, so my son now has a metal version for all his car cleaning/polishing malarkey. They are very useful to have around.
An old mailbox painted by the kids would be super cute out in the garden. It could hold gloves, spades, etc.
I put a mailbox in my veggie garden and it works sooo good for my hand shovels. I never lose them now!
❤ this idea
"I'm a home-improvement genius, basically." THAT WAS ADORABLE!
Bri, I hope you go back and look at your videos and realize the amazing mothering and projects you are completing on your own and that it lifts your spirits and brings you joy! ❤

Retail therapy is good for the soul. Dont ever be ashamed for buying something that makes you happy.
You are such a thoughtful mom. You really encourage me to be more understanding and gentle with my children. Thank you for your example.
No one knows what it takes to manage everything as a single parent unless you've done it yourself. You're doing great. Your kids will appreciate it all. You're right. They'll realize what they have at about 25. Your garden looks great! Kids always look great. Hang in there.

O my goodness you are such a inspiration! I love watching you overcome and you do it with such a positive humorous attitude!
You, my dear, are such an incredible blessing to me. If you only knew. I truly believe that in your struggle,

Bri, you had me at "Jingky"!!!! Been there, Done that! Whatever works for right now and move on. I am so proud of you being inspired to do anything necessary for your family to accomplice the task without overdoing it to yourself. BRAVO!!!!!
I love how your porch is coming together! Just beautiful! Your vision for your home, yard, garden is just awesome!! ❤️ You are such a good mom.
You are correct about the development of a child's brain. Your insight is AMAZING!! Took me getting my BS degree to understand that. I love your channel. I have been praying for art. IS HE OK!! ?

I love the things you are doing to make a cozy home for yourself & the kids. Bravo on getting a porch set. You will love it I'm sure!
I love the way you think about saving up and buying on sale, reusing, recycling, wasting very little!
If you've built empathy into them, which I think you have, when they see consequences like the porch railing they will begin to listen to realize Mom's words do actually make some level of sense. Getting him to help with the repairs is super too; even if he just hands over tools.
Looking great Bri😊 happy birthday Wilder🎉
You are such a kind and gracious soul, love your heart, homestead momma xx
You are such an understanding mom. As well as having some great knowledge of child development.

Bri you are a hard working woman!!! Happy birthday to the birthday boy!
I completely understand your thirst for beautiful green and flowers as well as privacy!

Fabric shower curtains make great privacy curtains

You are one amazing mom🥰
I LOVE this and I need to do the same thing for the same reason! You are my inspiration so often.
Your porches look lovely. You have excellent understanding into childrens growing needs. I love the ferns. 💖
You go girl you're doing terrific
You have 100's of comments of people telling you- you are amazing! We love you Bri!
Good morning beautiful SoilSista 💕
Your neighbors will appreciate the yard being picked up😘. They cannot see the back yard🙌🏻
You are such an amazing momma Bri ❤ your kids are so blessed to have you! Keep being you ❤️

Bri, I could watch your videos every single day, I just ❤️ them. You are rocking it girlfriend! ❤️❤️❤️
a long piece of rebar would make a great porch curtain rod on the less costly side.
Awesome video Bri. Just awesome. Some sweet tea while you wait and relax sweetheart
Another great video, Bri 👏👏👏
Idea for curtains is use drop cloths. They soften up when washed and with stand the weather.
I bought those fake wicker long roll up shades. Two things it does shades and privacy on my porch when I want it or If I don’t need it I pull my cords and roll them up, I just wash them off with hose pipe and soapy water and buy new ones as needed.

Not finished the video yet but had to pop in here and say YOU are AMAZING! You’ve inspired me on several levels already. 🙌🏽
I’m a huge fan of porch furniture! So glad you found some! The porch is my favorite calm space.
Always an inspiration!! God bless you!!
HappyBirthday, birthday boy! 🎉 🥳🎉
Your patio is adorable! I would still keep your chairs facing out. It’ll be easier to get to the swing and I still think it’s cozy enough and easy to talk to each other. Great job Bri! People on earth are watching you raise your children so beautifully and I believe those in heaven are also so proud of your parenting! 💗💗💗
What about shears on the back patio? You can still see out but will still give you privacy. 😊❤
Brie your incredible,Look at you go🙏💕 everything you have accomplished!!!!!! Beautiful strong mama absolutely Beautiful ❤️
You are a blessing to all of us! Praying for yall ❤
I think the greensalks would be cute on either side at the bottom of the steps!
I love your garden vision for your yard.😊 I have my porch curtains on wire with clips. Love them for privacy too.
Sweet heart you need something to support your back when you are lifting heavy things. You want to be able to enjoy all this so take care of your self. Love you and your family so very much.
LOVE the porch set! So cute! Love the cushion colors too! Love the rug! I thought the exact same thing you about the rug - white side is super cute but brown side is more practical. Ferns are awesome! You are amazing! Super duper MOM and WOMAN!
Deer love tulips and it breaks your heart.

I love it - it’s beautiful 😍 I am women hear me roar! You such an inspiration to all of us that has went though some “stuff”! Thanks for sharing! Happiest of birthdays to the kids 🎉
You can get some nice sheer outdoor curtains that will give you privacy AND let more light in!
Try some command hooks with dowel rods for your outdoor curtains. It’s works great for us.
I totally love all your patio furniture, it looks fabulous.
I love this Bri! I love a porch and yours is going to be so beautiful and cozy!
I love your porch set. It's a great color!
I use pressure rods and cabana curtains on my back porch for privacy. No tools needed and very inexpensive
Bri we are all so proud of you. You have a garden of eden already. You are growing christ loving children!!
Wow!! Great job, beautiful space!! It's so rewarding to do things! My kids get upset I don't ask for help, but if i can do it I'm gonna! Proud of you!!!!💕🙏💕
The green stalks would look great flanking your green house!
Boho, not jenky! It all looks lovely. I have a wooden version of the storage box for my garden tools, but a rat managed to get in, and do damage, so my son now has a metal version for all his car cleaning/polishing malarkey. They are very useful to have around.
Happy birthday!🎂🎂 God bless!!❤❤🙏🏼🙏🏼xxoo🎂🎂🎂
The large stick would make a great drapery rod, you can get brackets.
Everything looks amazing as usual🥰
It's beautiful Bre
How about instead of the porch curtains would you consider putting up a trellis with climbing flowers like clematis or roses?
