When my Daddy died in 2006, the local florist called Momma's house. She knew my Momma for years, and was concerned about the amount of floral tributes. My Momma can't abide the smell of too many floral arrangements at funerals due to her allergies. This lovely woman asked if we wanted Momma to receive herbal garden pots rather than flowers. We happily said yes. My Momma's yard is now filled with lemon balm, chocolate mint, peppermint, rosemary, oregano, sage and lemon basil...plants that she uses throughout the growing and canning season.
We have done green house plants and also something people can plant in thier yards for funerals.
@@terryhenderson424 what a lovely idea💕
I also give the family money instead of flowers! Flowers don’t last but a few days but a little money can help the family!
That is a lovely idea
That was very considerate of her florist!
My husbands favorite saying. If it's for FREE , it's for ME!. 🙂
yes!!!
We had a tornado go thru our area and hit a Girl Scout Camp Area hard. My husband stopped by and asked if he cleaned up the tree's, if he could have the wood. They said sure. He and our boys cleaned up them up and we got 11 hardwood trees for wood. It lasted us for 3 years. It took them a week, but well worth time and saved us a lot of money.
Good to have a man that will work. You are blessed.
I was, he's gone now but my sons are wonderful workers too. @@rusticgardenretreat4892
How exciting, your famous debut! I am like you, as far as, frugal.
I bought a tractor at a yard sale years ago for $140. With some implements, even. I got home and called my husband to tell him. He said, “ does it run?” I said, “I don’t know”. He asked, “why did you buy it, then”? I said, “because it was $140”. 😆. Turned out it was a great little tractor, that ran great! I had it for many years before we had to move, then I donated it to an auction for a Christian school.
I am very excited i'm also very scared there will be a professional filming crew this is just the beginning I am sure I met with the producer back in the summer and I never dreamed that they would contact me and asked me to do a segment representing their business it's a nonprofit organization and I cannot wait to share with everyone my video about it

Isn’t she awesome? ❤
A former coworker posted on FB that her 2 burner Blackstone griddle was no longer working and was free to whoever. I picked it up, replaced the burnt out igniter, disassembled the tubes and blew them out. I then spent 4 hrs on July 4th grinding off the rust to the hardened steel, reseasoned the griddle and now have a brand new $300 Blackstone all for free and labor.
One day I was driving home from work and I passed by a house that had a couple things in their front yard with a big sign that said FREE. I was able to get a patio table. Wrought iron legs with a glass top. I absolutely love it. 😊
It is amazing how you can live on what others don’t want. It just takes time and patience. You have them both Tessie. It feels good to know that you saved so much food. Looking forward to Feb.14. Have a great evening everyone!
Hope That You Have A Great Evening Too Julie 😊,
Can't Wait For Tessies Interview!
Blessings,
Andrea
I said I'm gettin ready to watch My Homestead Tessie so my husband said, Hello Tessie and hubby. He said he enjoys hearing you chat. I know he wouldn't like any channels where a person isn't a believer so we definitely want to support you.
Thk u for sharing, I like to do this too.😊
Low income , one day I like to live in homestead.
February 14 is a great day because its when I received the gift of my youngest son. A smiling, laughing blue eyed, blond haired bundle of joy who is still making me smile 23 years later. Those free items may be given to you but you have to invest time, energy and work to make use of them. My best free thing is a curio cabinet that I wanted for many years but could not justify spending the money on when other things were needed worse and then a friend was getting rid of some things and asked if I wanted a curio cabinet she had. I did jump for joy that day.
Marybeth, You Are Truly Blessed With The Gift Of Your Youngest Son -- Priceless!

I love this video so much! Our kitchen table, chairs, dining room table and chairs, exercise bike, air pump, 2 grills, and tons more were all picked up during Spring cleaning pickup! We call it roadside shopping LOL!
Better than thrift shops, which I LOVE!! 😮❤😂
Yeah, our town has a large trash pickup day at the end of the month and I am amazed at how much I see sitting out on the side of the road.
Fascinating. I start plants, bushes for others who cannot afford to buy.
excellent practice. Have u ever grown fruit trees from cuttings? I am growing a pine tree and a cedar shrub from cuttings. Hope they will grow strong thick roots as they have survived at least one month in soil now...
I'm now thinking about cuttings of my 62 yr old grapefruit tree. It is so smooth. In 1961 it was a commercial grove. I also need to "move" my moringas. So, I'll take cuttings, then place them in my orchard. Frankly I've never done this, but need to start.
After bad storms, many people have lots of tree branches down in their yards, and many of them put them at the curb to get picked up with the trash. Others need help cleaning them up. You could use them to fill the bottom of your raised beds. They don't have to be dead or dried.
If you want to burn them, they need to be stacked and left to dry out for awhile though.
When I do my winter sowing in milk jugs, once I get what I need and what my daughter needs, I give the rest of the seedlings away to people I see out working in their yards. At first, they think I am offering to sell them, but once they realize that I am just trying to find them a home.....I get big smiles, and thank you.
Thank you for this post. This love that you are saving things that others would just trash. My Mom did the same when we were kids. She would pick apples from the neighbors tree and keep half and leave them half or what they could use. She had older people who would call her to pick their raspberries because they couldn’t and we all would go over and then leave what they needed. We also picked onions and potatoes up after they were harvested by the owners. There were many left and then she would share with friends and family.
Thank you for continuing to save the food and things that can be reused!!!
The Bible calls this gleaning. Very biblical ! ❤
Gleaning is definitely a much better word for it. Freegan sounds rather silly.
Very inspiring! Thanks, Tessie, for some excellent ideas!
My aunt always says her favorite 4 letter word is free😂😂
LOL, my family calls it my brother's favorite price. Desks for my business, and a brand new wok. He cleaned out garages for real estate people.
I am always on the lookout for free seeds and even free soil (after floods you can get free soil). I like to grow for myself and for patrons of our town's senior citizen center when I can manage to grow extra. So many elderly people (I'm 65, so I am talking older than myself) are unable to grow a garden anymore. It is nice when I can take extra greens from my garden and give to them or take flowers to the local retirement home for the staff to place on the lunch table. I don't get to see them enjoy the flowers, but I imagine they are enjoying them as I get ooohs and ahhs plus "I used to grow those......" as I take the flowers in. Don't forget the local senior retirement home when you are making donations. They would like to have your craft stuff and maybe even your baby dolls for their clients with dementia as well as some hygiene/hair products. It makes me feel good when I can give seeds to people who stop and compliment me on my garden as they are driving by. If you get free stuff, you must keep feeding the circle by giving free stuff and of your time. I am currently looking for the things that I need to create a sun oven. Make a list and pray over it.
Just found you, Tessie! Can’t wait to watch more of your videos. I have spent a lot of time in PA in my life. My great grands and my Grandma lived in York, County. Grandma didn’t live all that far from Lancaster so I’ve been there many times. What beautiful farms!!! I loved the farmers markets and especially the quilts. I am now old and sick, mostly bed/home bound. If I were physically able I’d do something along this line to try to get some things I really need but can’t afford. My grandma was a wheeler dealer. I think the only new thing she had in her home was her refrigerator, stove….shower and bathroom necessities. Just the basics. She in turn made friends til her death. We lost her in July 1997. She was the coolest Grandma ever. She canned spaghetti sauce, vegetable soup, all kinds of jams, jellies, apple butter, relishes, pickles, and she had two freezers full. She would have loved you!! Sorry for yakking so long. You brought back sweet memories. I’m in NE Tennessee, born and bred. It’s strange how fast our lives seem to fly by leaving us in that hard to deal with “old age”. 😂 Prayers for you and your family to have every need met and be blessed with good health and prosper. I’m glad to hear that as you are being blessed you are paying it forward. Caring is sharing. Vikki from Tennessee . 🏔️ 🙏🏻💜
Welcome to my channel i'm so honored to have you here you will be in my prayers my new friend and I am so happy that we are now friends
Wow Tessie you are indeed one of a kind always thinking and planning. I have a new friend who has a pear tree and asked her if I could have some she looked at me are you for real!!! She told me that no one wanted her tree bearing fruit because they weren’t perfect enough for them. I said are you kidding I would love to have some off the ground so she told me to come over the next day and pick them. When I went over they were mostly gone and she was testing me which I found out later to see if I really would pick them off the ground. I then told her someone else must have found them because there were only a few left. She then told me she picked them herself and she gave me 4 huge grocery bags full of pears. Oh I was so happy I canned them all except the bigger ones that we had for eating. Mind you these pears are super small not sure what they are called but they were the best I had ever eaten. Being in northern MN not many pears tree exist that get tree ripened - I myself have a pear tree that is 15 years old and got my first pears last fall but they never ripened and looked like small apples but pear shaped.
Pears need to be picked "green & hard" & then ripened till ready under cool conditions ( about 7-10 days, depending upon picking softness) Then they are ready for eating; canning ones take a couple of days more to ripen. You'll find the correct stage by trial & error!! Do you know enough about pruning, etc to help your neighbor improve her trees?
I’ve always loved free stuff and people have always asked me would you like this or that and of course if I could use it or know someone who might id take it. Years ago when I was younger I was very poor and got things either free or at thrift stores God always provided what I needed. Then I was in a better place and went to nursing school I’ve made good money since but I was still being blessed with people giving me things. I’m still wearing some clothes a patients grandmother asked if I wanted as we were the same size!!! That’s been 16 years ago!!!
That's freegan awesome
Wow, all those carrots! Even if you can't use them you can compost them. Free dirt. They could help to fill your raised gardens.
One time I drive past a driveway with a ton of hasta and other landscaping plants. They’d been thinning them out. I got about 12 plants and landscaped my yard. Perfect timing for us.
When we bought this house it was FULL of stuff. We have spent days cleaning rooms and outbuildings out and we are still not done. As for getting something for free as I believe was a blessing from God one of the rooms was full of brand new clothes still with tags in my size and shoes. There were also oil lamps, furniture, etc. As for something I would like to get that would be shelves or bookcases for me to make a pantry for my food and supplies, starts of flowers like I left behind, and some old french doors and windows for a project this spring. We are upcycling an old 10x10x10 foot outbuilding into a "she shed" and I want to add these to it!
Congratulations on your interview!! Looking forward to seeing it. We have been doing the bartering system for years. We also dumpster dive. We've been able to save money on produce, meat, and snacks. We get oranges, potatoes, apples, and tomatoes . We go through the bags and remove any bad ones. Wash the good stuff. There's a video we watch that taught us how to check the meats to make sure that it is good. My brother-in-law just came by and got some meat and oranges. The rest of our family "politely" decline. Of course, the noses are wrinkled 😂 The best thing I got free was a 3 wheel walker. We helped someone with a house clean out. I didn't need it then, but later, when i broke my hip, it became my biggest help. Thank you for sharing your experiences and knowledge. Take care. ❤❤
Good evening Tessie, all! This is probably my favorite video from you! You've shared lots of great tips here. In today’s economy, there are so many working families and individuals in need, and your advice is incredibly valuable. I’m really looking forward to seeing your video update in February. Thank you for helping so many families navigate these challenging times!
Oh, during the pandemic, I went to my local feed and seed store looking to purchase mason jars, as there was a shortage of them. A kind lady behind me in line mentioned that she had boxes of gently used mason jars she could donate to me. To my surprise, 20 of them were antique liberty jars. When I offered her $50 for the jars, she refused. I remembered her saying at the store that she loved collard greens but couldn't garden like she used to. Since I had extra greens from my garden, I brought her some in exchange for the jars. She was truly a blessing.
My daughter’s headboard and bed frame was leaning against a tree with a “free” sign on it. This was about 15 years ago. Still have it!!
I missed you Tessie. I just started watching you again. You are so cheerful and upbeat. Thank you, for your jolly nature.
many years a go the church i went to had an idea to have people bring in stuff they no longer wanted and to asked people in near by coumminites that didnt want stuff to donate to the church and then we had a free yard sale. there was a lot of subdivisions around that church and they gave away a lot of stuff. kept telling people that the yard sale was free and so many people were shocked and kept donating money anyways. i think they pastor gave the donated money to some charity. i cant remember where.
Hi Tessie 🌻
What a Wonderful idea . . .
I have given others children's clothing and books and toys.
I would love to receive a portable generator and food dehydrator or an ebike 🙏
Our neighbors give things away like our loveseat which just needed to be cleaned and carpets. I was just given some cookware by my neighbor that really nice with lids. I loved this video and Ill be praying that you wont be nervous but be at peace when your interview comes. Shalom Aleichem Mishpocahs ❤️🙌🕊️✝️🇱🇷🇮🇱🛐🙏
Tessie,
I was raised by a single mom with absolutely zero support from my and my sister's father. She was extremely thrifty and frugal but we had all we needed and we were content. Even now that I'm a married adult and we are doing well financially, growing up that way instilled that in me. Your videos help me stay grounded in that healthy humble mindset.
Love your content!♡
I enjoyed your video! When I haul my trash away, I always look at the items left at the dump for free. I have found several nice things. It's encouraging to hear you speak on your lifestyle and how to gather supplies that otherwise would have been thrown away. I like how you have built up your Homestead with a variety of sourced items. You show that it can be done!
Thank you my sweet friend !!!
I support you living off other things people dontbwant
I am70, and I live on my family’s property in a container home. They clean up new house sites as part of their business, and in their travels have picked up many baths over time which they can use on the property for watering stock (some baths were new, with just a scratch or whatever) They have to pay to dump this ‘rubbish’ into landfill.
I now have 7 baths, four old wheelbarrows and two extra large coolers which I have turned into my raised garden beds.
What I really took away from your video is to ask! If you don’t ask….
You don’t get! I’m sure going to ask people for cuttings of plants that I like, that’s for sure.

Before Christmas, I was going through my Christmas decor (I have tons) and put some in a box on the curb because I didn't want them anymore. It didn't take long when things started disappearing out of the box then the whole box was taken. I was so happy! I told hubby that I need to go through my whole shed and put stuff out on the curb instead of taking it to the thrift store lol. We also go to the largest drive thru food bank in our state and receive produce, dairy, and meat, and sometimes desserts from Sam's club. We only pick up for us two but you're allowed to pickup for 6 families! Not family members, but 6 families. I hope people are being truthful. That's awesome about your interview, you'll do great!
This was probably the best video you have made. Extremely informative and so positive about it. So much confidence! Good for you getting so much for nothing!
I wish we had a discount food store and I'm would love to have some canning jars.
Good evening Tessie. I hope you've had a good day. Take care. ⚘️
Good Evening Joanne🙂,
Hope That You Have Had A Great Day.
Are You Staying Warm My Friend?
Blessings,

@pr9764 Hello Andrea. Yes, we're staying warm. Temps are rising into the 40s and 50s this week. Feels downright balmy. We're not fooled. The cold will make a comeback. Have a lovely and blessed day my friend.
Hi Tessie! Good job starting new plants for your garden. My grandmother was a true green thumb, she could grow anything.
Hope your interview goes great.
I hope you have a blessed night!
You Work So Hard Tessie!
I Am So Thrilled That You Have That Interview Coming Up-- You Are On A Roll Girl🙂
May GOD Continue To Bless You,
Andrea
Amen❣️
I love my Nesco dehydrator!!
Me too!
Yes!!
Happy:) your changing a definition...
Nice vid...making me think again
Hi Tessie what is that old saying another mans junk is another mans treasures. Love your honesty and keep sharing your ways and ideas. Goodnight to all.
Hi Tessie that is wonderful.
Wow...what a wonderful video. Thank you.❤ God bless you and all here.
Curbside yard waste bins - I haven't done much for dumpster diving but, I have been known to poke into yard waste bins sitting curbside for bulbs, tubers, and even shrubs. For a while, I knew folks who did landscaping and often they dig stuff out then take it to the dump or yard waste recycling. And then networking by letting folks know you'll take stuff they are getting rid of. Being able and willing to dig stuff out, you get all the more.
Great video Tessie. I am enjoying your longer videos . I had gotten free one time just driving by and seeing it outside and went to the yard sale the next day it was an old Singer sewing machine and it was electric with the sewing table it would drop into it went into and the lady had told me that I could just take it. I always have my eye out for a old singer or any brand that will fit on my treadle that I have but have not found a treadle singer or any brand to put on it. Hope you both have a great week
If you have hogs or know some one who does, you can give them the food even you do not want. When I was younger I worked at a restaurant. The owner had pigs at his home and would take home all of the food scraps, especially the salad scraps, to his pigs. Free food, well he had paid for it for his restaurant.
Tessie, you are the hardest working person I know! God bless you !
This is a great video. I love the practical information.
Wow, Tessie. Can’t wait for the video.👏👍
BTW, you are smarter than a fox! You had the vision to get ahead while the economy was good for most. Congrats!
Good evening Tessie and friends ❤ many blessings

Well done to you Tessie, you put the effort in and reaped the rewards. More people like you in the world and the planet would have a chance ❤
Hi, Tessie! We used to participate in Freecycle, too; it was a wonderful way to give and get items. Sadly, the local group is no longer in existence This video was excellent and so informative. I'd have to say the best free items I've gotten are my raised beds, some small tables, and my desk. My husband built them all from pallets or other reclaimed wood that he was given. I'm so excited for you and this interview opportunity you have coming up-looking forward to seeing it. You have so much to share that will be helpful for people!
Hello Tessie and Friends, This was a great video! I have known to frequent Thrift Stores, Garage Sales at the end of their day, and free stuff on the curb. I grew up foraging for food, and sharing with friends and relatives the surplus of our homestead. I am on the look out for old kitchen gadgets, and books on rabbit care and bees. They don't need to be pretty, or fully functional. Have a great interview, I can't wait to see it.
Good evening to you Tessie❤thank you for all your videos, learned so much 👍🏼
i love that idea freecycle, altho i used to love dumpster diving too
Great information!!! Love that idea about HT free cycle group!
Thanks Tessie, I also enjoy getting things for free. I built my chicken coop for almost free, I had to buy the screws and nails to put it a together. I found pallets & reclaimed lumber and windows all of which I used to make my chicken coop. Then I picked up a few gallons of used paint at ReStore, different colors, but that was fine because I wanted my coop to be colorful. The metal roofing was given to me because it was dinged up a little here or there, but worked fine for the roof! My nesting box was a wooden toy box that the lid was broken so someone was tossing it, I asked if I could have it and they said sure. I tipped it up on its side and built some shelves in it with reclaimed lumber and my chickens love it. I wish I could post a photo of it, it's so cute! And it was almost all for free!
Nice work Tessie 🙂💕
what I hate is when they send you an email asking you to review and then you say yes and they don't get back with you frustrating
Great ideas! I love the barter system it’s a win win for everyone. I haven’t really received anything free but I do like to donate things to people rather than throw them away. Thank you so much for your ideas, wisdom and just upbeat, happy videos.
Here where we live they have what they call trash outs around our big lakes and people put all the things they dont want out by the road. I have found a couple black wrought Iron chairs in great shape and a like new expensive gas grill and a nice birdfeeder on a pole and a pretty birdhouse that just needed paint.People in town put free stuff out by their curbs all summer and there is a FB group here that posts free stuff as well. Free stuff is everywhere you just need to keep your eyes open..😉
Continued prayers and blessing to your and yours, Miss Tessie. And continued thanks for sharing your common sense wisdom! Love you!

@@joannetaggart4136 Good evening Joanne Taggart :-)
Loved your video! You definitely worked hard but it paid off and provided a way of helping provide food for your family and helping others! You were so lucky to receive other things that were need in and around your home! Cannot wait to see how everything turns out on February 14th!! Definitely will watch for it!
I'm so excited about your interview! Can't wait to see it!
Swapping and bartering is the way to live. ❤
I do a bit of this also, if someone leaves something in my apartment building laundry room that I can use, like a bag of beans or can of food I take it. I found pots to plant in by the dumpster, I have also taken home things from my mosque that we either no longer needed, were not the right things. I have also been sent products to review, some good, some not so good
Tessie, This is wonderful I always knew you were a Freegen I am sort of a Freegen too I used to walk around my area for anything that I can use that have been discarded I still do this today you will be surprised at what I find that I use daily good tips :-) Love you my sister :-) God Bless You and Ken :-)
Some one junks and for other people treasures, Tessie. ❤❤❤❤
Free and cheap is the way to go! I think the only things I ever bought new in my homes over the years were mattresses for my beds(not the bed frames) and bed linens, and curtains. I used to say my decorating style was, "EARLY SALVATION ARMY"! Love your ideas! Wish I was able to still do it! God Bless!
You are the best!! I love hearing what you have done. Thank you for sharing with us. Dont be nervous
You are amazing. I love you!!!!
Oh how exciting to do this interview, I certainly will love to watch it!
I found a wooden quilt rack that I love and use. One thing I’m always on the hunt for is fabric/yarn, baskets and jars! lol
I will be letting everybody know in a video and with a link I don't have the copyright rights to put the video on my channel but I will be able to show snippets of the show and of course the link to the full show when it happens
I have been buying more glass jars like spaghetti jars and I keep them like you said. Also the different meats containers I have been buying only meats and cherry tomato containers that I can use for garden seed starters or for Tupperware type of uses and it's useful in more ways than one. I realized this more and more and it's been very useful. Thanks for sharing you're experience and ideas that you have used and have worked for you. I really appreciate you and you're channel and all your old-fashioned ways because I am too and have a blessed evening!
Great video Tessie Thank you! ❤ Looking forward to February! What a great opportunity for you! You will do fine 😁
Lots of people have old refrigerators sitting around, that they are too overwhelmed to move. I get them, paint them up in various ways (my favorite is bricks), and make them into raised beds. Fill them with wood chips and cow manure, let them rot, and use them as raised beds. For trellises, I use old trampoline frames. This year, I am going out on a limb, and I bought a few flower seeds to plant. I've always just done veggies in my raised beds.
A small canner I had given to me.
Halfway to spring. Looking forward to seeing your garden grow. Take care. Thanks for the video.
Congratulations on your upcoming interview!
I have gotten free hostas in years past.
I had a few friends that we would swap plants with each other.
It was a fun thing.
Congratulations, Tessie so happy you are being acknowledged.
Tessie I so enjoyed this video. Your wisdom is amazing! I think that God Morning America or someone should have you as a featured guest. You have so much great help and advice that would help many in our country. I think what you offer could be life changing for many . I got a wonderful primitive cabinet for free a couple years ago. I have also received hostas and many free perennials. I would love to find a vintage runner or fabric piece for a tiny table runner. I can't wait for Feb. 14th.
Our biggest problem in society today is no one wants to work. I appreciate you and all you do. Thank you! iWork at a food bank Andy got enough strawberries to make jelly for three grown children and for my husband and I. Yes you have to sort and put up produce right away, but love it.
I should go back to volunteering at the food bank as I quit during the pandemic. It does give a nice feeling to help out.
You are one Smart Lady.God bless you.❤
We have a group here- buy nothing Mishawaka. I just posted free new t- shirts in youth sizes small- large. I have gotten canning jars, knitting needles, perennials, a very cool old metal strainer. More people should share unwanted items!
Tessie THANK YOU for the ideas and openness
My best free thing i got has been a crepemaker we use it all the time and some beautiful artist paintings which i cherish. Great tip for free items is to look for things offseason you are more likely to get free garden items in autumn and winter and free winter clothes for example in summer.
Great ideas! Thank you. My channel is still small but I would love to review products someday!
Congrats Tessie, don't be nervous yoi're going to do great! God bless you Tessie girl! 🙏❤🙏
Thank you so much for teaching us all of these useful things Tess!!
Inspired by you I've been on the look out for a dehydrator! I'm not ready to can yet but am looking for classes to learn.. I'm a hands on learner !
I walk my dog every evening. While I was out there was a almost new water bath canner with the rack, jar lifter and funnel with a free sign. I put it on my hip and walked home with the dog and a huge smile. Another time there was a bistro size black metal table again on my walk. It wasn’t heavy so I picked it up and walked 2 blocks home with it. In the spring our town does a clean up and hauls what is put out to the dump. I check those piles for garden items and have found great serviceable items and kept them out of the landfill. Last year I got free chain link perfect for gardening.
oh wow !! I bet you could hardly believe that !!! what A great find !!
Thanks for sharing Tessie. I can't wait to see your interview in February. You do such a fabulous job with everything. I love getting free food and furniture. Most everything I have was free or bought at a great discount. Have a blessed day friend
Yay !! I made it
Hi Georgia Bell :-)
Aw Tessie I am looking for 🧶 yarn. Bird items. Crafting items . And candles and wax😊
When we had cows we used to go pick up the craft brewery’s spent grains. Used in composting and the cows loved it. We had to come pick it up when they called and it was heavy stuff. The brewery didn’t have to pay to dispose of it and we had the acres to use it
You are awesome Tessie, keep being you. I admire you . I learn so much. Thank you
Please Tessie do that interview exactly as you have done this video here today! Exactly 💯%
It was a very good video
You were excited, not to much lol
You looked pretty
Your maner of speaking... perfect, never felt scripted!
Natural...thats it
You were just naturally Tessie, not overthinking it because it wasn't necessary to do so...ynou live THIS life and it shows.
I know you will be perfect in that video interview!
Blessings 💞
Well Said Nevermind 🙂
Thank you my friend I been making totally different videos now about 5 weeks :) and I am so happy ppl love it
I would love if we could create our own community. It's been something I've been thinking about over the last 6 months, to be honest. I'm looking for a head like you have or even a green house like you have to create an area where I can sit and work outside. We don't have a deck so I have to think outside the box.
