    Idk about other people but i’ve always done Advent starting with number 1 ending with 24/25 because typically the 24/25 is more unique/bigger than day 1-23 so to me its always made sense to have the special thing at the end of Advent rather than at the start

    Idk about that coop Colleen. Raccoons are going to make quick work of it, the skunks will dig right under. It just looks like your backyard probly attracts a lot of wild life that will be looking to eat your eggs and chickens.

Also so happy for you and your little family with this big move! Sending hugs from another neurodivergent brain, time heals all and the change will start to feel like the new normal soon, I promise!

    As a peds oncology nurse.. I can’t wait for the livestream 💛 everyday I go to work and watch these kids fight for their lives, and yes, it can be tough. But I also have learned so much from these sweet kids, like how to live, how to appreciate everyday, and that’s just to name a few. They are truly the most resilient people I have ever cared for as a nurse, and so are their families. So many families have given up EVERYTHING to be by their kids side. They have been through hell and back, but are still the most kind, caring souls. So if you have a little extra, consider donating! It really does help so much.

    Colleen, I’m SURE that you have but I just have to say something because of my mama anxiety. Please make sure you secure the new bookshelves that Rachel and Abby put together to the walls. Specially because they are heavy and full of books now, I worry about the babies pulling up on them. I know they’re never left alone but accidents happen and it would be my worst fear for one to topple over.

    Hi Colleen, just wanted to say that anything that can fit inside of a toilet paper roll, is considered a choking hazard for babies. I was nervous seeing Maisy with your lip stick tube. I just took a CPR class this morning where we talked about babies and choking, so I felt like I should say something :)

    I'm so disappointed! The Portland, OR theatre won't be able to accommodate my wheelchair for the orchestra level. I paid for the VIP Meet & Greet back in July.
    The box office said that the production company told the theatre too late that there needs to be stairs from the stage to the floor...and so there's no way to accommodate my wheelchair. I'm so sad!!
    I'm glad I called the theatre, otherwise this would be a huge shock when I arrived.
    I've been waiting nearly 15 years to see this show and am beyond frustrated that they can't accommodate my wheelchair

    It usually only snows if it’s below 32 degrees. 40 degrees can also have snow because it’s colder in the atmosphere but it’ll melt pretty fast

    I love the way Colleen described the Ariana perfumes. So realistic and with her own comedic touch!

    From what we've seen, your whole house inside and out looks like its out of a fairy tale. I know its new and will take some getting used to no matter what but I'm in love with it already and I know once the figurative and literal dust settles on the move, you'll realize this is what was meant to be!

    Flynn: it's raining
    Colleen: it's not raining
    Cleaning not raining
    Cory: I felt a few sprinkles

    With advent calendars you go from 1-24 or 25. The last one is usually the biggest prize, on christmas eve or christmas day.

    TTQ: now that the twins have become more and more talkative have you noticed nicknames for things like how Flynn called cars dar dars and candy doo doos it might be to early to tell but just wondering. Hope you and your family are enjoying the new beautiful house!

    That yaaaardddd.... it looks like a botanical garden! So lovely! A grape trellis? Chickens are a great idea - if you trap the wild cats or get a guard animal like maybe a mini goat? A coyote or fox could get the chickens if they don't hide in the coop quick enough....

    I would really love to hear about how you handle big feelings and jealously because I’m struggling with it and really respect your point of view

    Hey! Just a heads up, chickens will be able to fly over that fence. You'll need to make it much higher (and probably add a roof over the run).

  • @laurasharp9455
    @laurasharp9455 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    In Germany, most advent calendars are 1-24 days and then on the 6th (st Nikolaus day) the kids get candy, oranges, nuts, etc in their stocking or shoe.

    For advent calendars I always open the number that corresponds to the current day. So on Dec 17 I open #17. I think they are designed to go in that order because usually the best things are in the higher numbers...

    The twelve days of Christmas are traditionally after Christmas. It between Christmas and epiphany (when the Magi visited baby Jesus). So if you do it before then it doesn’t really matter, whatever will make you the most happy.

    56 would be a dream, right now 🤣 I'm in Northern Wisconsin and it's currently 32°F with a wind-chill that makes it feel like 10°F.
    If you ever come to Wisconsin, everyone would be wearing shorts and sandals in 56°F weather 🤣

    I always go 1->24. At least with cheapo chocolate ones the 24th one is bigger than the others. And sometimes there’s a story and it goes 1->24 as well. So I always do 1 first

    That shot at the end of you walking through the dark hallway with the blue tint from the camera light and everything was framed like a horror movie and Erik just /appearing/ as a dark shape and you're just like "oh that's my husband" about this mysterious dark shape in the shadows XD you're talking about such sweet things with the cancer fund and your kids and you have zero concern about it because why would you, it's just your house and Erik, but just looking back at my phone and seeing what might as well be a scene from Blair Witch but you're 10000% unconcerned was such a vibe XD I love it

    Colleen, have you secured the bookcases to the wall so they don’t fall over if the kids pull on them?
