My only wish is that your videos were longer because I so enjoy watching your content you are one of my favorites! I always loom forward to seeing your uploads! Love you and your family! You are an inspiration 😊
You are doing so great in your self-improvement: working within your limits, valuing rest, improving nutrition for both you and your family, doing maintenance chores. I am so impressed with your realistic but optimistic attitude!! Blessings to you and your family💛🙏🏼
Einstein is precious!! I'm so happy that he has a loving home now, he deserves to live the rest of his days being spoiled. He looked so pitiful in the beginning. God bless your family for taking him in 🙏
TIME SAVING WASHING TIP WHICH I REALLY HOPE WOULD HELP YOU: I used to spend SO much time sorting clothes. Now we have a wash load sized hamper in each of the kids rooms and a two load sized hamper in our bedroom. When a hamper is full its owner takes it to our laundry area ready for me to wash (when they are a little older the kids will do their own) and apart from whites, it all goes in a wash for that person. It has made such a difference to the amount of time I spend on this task and we don’t run out of clothes as there’s only ever a wash load per person ‘in the wash’. 🎉
Also we missed you- I start washing my dishes in the sink-I’m old and we didn’t have a dishwasher for many years- I find it therapeutic on my hands and soul looking out the window onto our pond
Whoa! You were a power-mum today! Go you! I think you did an amazing job. The house looks fabulous and it must be so satisfying to have the laundry put in it's place and done. Well done and thank you for sharing. Little pup is adorable and you are all wonderful, he couldn't have a better home - and thank you to the lovely Chelsea for taking the time to help little man look and feel his best 😊
This is an old video but Einstein looked so happy in your daughters arms and with his hair cut!! Great family! Yesterday I listened to videos while I baked a cake. Cleaned up and organized my summer closet,and whole bedroom. So much nicer now! I did all the laundry, washed all my pretty tops on delicate and hung them up..about ten. Tidied the downstairs. This morning i will make the bed and already tidied again. That is all. Have to get my weekly Allergy shot and go to dinner with my hubs at Cracker Barrel.. Love you Shannon. I am 68. Losing weight and feeling great!...your friend and fan Shane from Nashville ares🎉🎉😊
You are doing a great job! Trying to juggle all the things, healthy eating, cleaning, laundry, kid time etc, is something that everyone has to make their way through and find what works best for them, I'm so glad to see you doing it! Your doing it! The hard set back days will come too but rest a bit and, when you're able, get right back to it! And look at you rockin' leggings! Positive changes girl!
Happy birthday to you many more I love the fur baby story how you save him he look so cute after you groomed him hope you keep him wishing the whole family peace happiness and always good health 🌺🌺🌺🙏🙏🥰🥰🥰❤️❤️❤️
Good job on the laundry! I'm like you and enjoy doing laundry or at least the results, lol. Einstein is aptly named. He was a genius finding your family! Your mom was so sweet to give you a VitaMix. My mother has one and loves it. It may be wishful thinking, but, I think you look thinner. Glad your mom's able to celebrate your birthday with you! So good to have a new video. Happy Birthday Blessings to you! 🎉🎈🎂🎈🎉 Take care, Linda 🦋
I just love your videos and you vibe. I really need that reminder of rest, and not beat myself up about it. Really important, so thank you for that reminder - and thank you so much for sharing ❤️🌸🌼
I am so impressed at how much healthier your grocery purchases have become! I'm so sorry to hear about the health challenges you are having, but you are making great strides in getting answers. Cleaning up nutrition will help you and your family be healthy and happy!
Way to go momma!! I’m having a rest day (3rd in a row). I was feeling bad until your pep talk! Thank you! So excited for you and your new zone cleaning success and health goals success. Keep up the HARD work!
Shannon, I am like you with getting things done in the morning . I was having laundry backup issues so I changed the way I did it. Now I start my load to wash before I go to bed and then I put it in the dryer when I get up. This way I am still motivated when it is done to fold and put it away. This has been a total game changer as now I don't have piles of clean clothes that I just don't have the energy to handle later in the day.
Spinach is smoothies is a fantastic way to get your greens in without tasting it. I love making a frozen banana or two, mango, spinach, coconut water smoothie with a dash of honey for immune health. I just found your channel and it’s so refreshing to hear someone talk about the benefits of fruit instead of all of the fruit fear. Also that lady that groomed your foster dog is amazing!
I also like to put a load of laundry on first thing. I have to walk past my washroom to get to the kitchen so the washing is on while I make my morning cuppie.
Peeled garlic like that will stay nice as long as they don't get banged around much. One thought on the smoothie pounding, be careful with carbs. Smoothies are lovely and I don't know what your nutrition goals are. ❤❤
With laundry, i have decided not to do a load a day because then it feels like I'm doing laundry ALL THE TIME. I just commit to four loads a week and that has to do. I do two loads of laundry on Monday and two on Thursday/Friday so that I'm not doing it everyday and its still getting done
Productive day for me 🙋 today was a cleaning/chores day for me. Today is also day 1 out of 10 of stay-cation. I was feeling burnt out and needed to take some time off. I have a hard time resting though because if I'm not productive I feel lazy. It's very hard for me to get out of that mentality especially right now when I need it most.
Quick tip! You can either freeze the garlic as is, or even better, take the whole thing and mince it in the food processor and freeze them in tbsp clumps, then throw them all in a baggie and you can pull out a garlic clump every time you want fresh garlic!
I would just like to say that I noticed that you’ve been regular with your cleaning I could tell just from the way things look today I know that’s one of your goals, so great job and great job with your lifestyle changes! You rock!! And your puppy is so cute❤
I don't do well with being interrupted either. My afternoons especially early afternoons or my energy time. It's when the mental and the physical energy comes together, most of the time. My husband's energy is all in the morning and maybe some in the early afternoon. We're like the sun and the moon we pass each other twice a day. He wants to do everything at the crack of dawn and it takes me at least a few hours to get moving and motivated.
Oh, yes, I'm the same. My husband is the Energizer Bunny. I told him that it's against our neighborhood covenants to use power tools before 8 a.m., I personally think it should be 10, because he was outside working at 7:30 on Saturday morning. It no longer shames me to be in bed when he's working. lol
@@3TXSisters 😀 I know exactly what you're saying girl friend. I call my husband Jack in the box. The music is his sleep and then the second it turns 6am he pops out and starts bouncing around. LOL he's a mess.
Happy Birthday! If you don’t already have one I’d recommend getting a robo vacuum it’ll help you out a lot ! I have one and it’s great. Oh Einstein is such a cutie pie!
I didn't ha e a dryer for like 5 months! We finally have one again. I am so dang happy about it. We do so much laundry and even doing teh bare minimum for a family of 5 is insane!!!! 😮
I've learned that I have to prioritize my daily routines plus the Weekly Home Blessing Hour over zone cleaning. Because the daily stuff will continue to build up more and more and more and get out of control. But the detailed/zone cleaning pretty much stays the same. Dusting something with a little bit of dust vs a lot of dust really isn't that different. But doing one load of laundry vs 6 loads of laundry is lol. So for zone cleaning, I dedicate 15 minutes a day to declutter in that zone and 15 minutes a day to doing one detailed cleaning task. And if I don't have the energy to do something, the decluttering/zone cleaning are what's going. My daily routines are what keep me from feeling like I'm drowning.
My treat this afternoon was to watch your video. I’m with you-the zone cleaning sort of messes with my routines. I just do better having certain days of the week for certain tasks. And I LOVE the Shark vac-mop I got after seeing it on your site! I need to go use it.🤪 Take it easy on the fruits bc of your diabetes.
I saw that! That’s how I used to do it, but I much rather prefer the one load a day. It keeps it minor chore in my brain where as multiple loads becomes a monster task that I am not always mentally prepared for. 😂
Happy Birthday!!! hope you have a fantastic day.... never used a vitamix but i love my ninja.. it is amazing... and yes rest is important... its healing... and yes its productive and you can't climb a mountian without resting part way... need to recharge before tackling more... love your videos... i actually do some of my house work while listening to you!
I’m the same way with laundry-- VERY particular!! I like everything separated perfectly and hung dry and underwear/socks pre-soaked with extra rinse. LOVED the little doggie!!!! Feel free to keep us TH-cam people posted on him! ❤❤
Zucchini! I've never thought about that in my smoothie. I'm going to try that. I've done lettuce and celery - used sparingly you can't taste them. Carrots are great and so is canned pumpkin and frozen kale and spinach. Enjoy the Vitamix, the best smoothies ever!
The fresh peeled garlic freezes well. You may need to separate on a parchment paper sheet first. Then place in a container. Take only out what you need at one time. ❤
I like using Romain leaves for burgers and throw a tomato in there. We do sweetpotato vries in the air fryer. I toss in cooc ut oil you could do a different oil or cooking spray depending on what you need. My daughter is gluten free. I have been gluten free dairy free at different times.
We use romaine leaves to put sandwich meat in and other kinds of meats like tacos if you want it lower carb. You can crush some tortilla chips or part of a taco shell on top. That is tasty too. I also have done chicken and then dipped in an Asian dressing. Very tastey. If you are avoiding gluten and not potatoes I have thrown my burger on a baked potato before too. Not low carb but another option. Anything I can fill out with more veggies is usually a win too for meals when I am avoiding or cutting back on something. I am not made for tiny portions. 😂 So anything to keep a meal a meal but cutting back on the extra calories or things I am avoiding helps. Salads are a big thing I like for an that reason or doing a ton of cooked vegetables.
My only wish is that your videos were longer because I so enjoy watching your content you are one of my favorites! I always loom forward to seeing your uploads! Love you and your family! You are an inspiration 😊
Happy belated birthday! That pup is adorable. She did a great job grooming him and it looks like he received it well.
You are doing so great in your self-improvement: working within your limits, valuing rest, improving nutrition for both you and your family, doing maintenance chores. I am so impressed with your realistic but optimistic attitude!! Blessings to you and your family💛🙏🏼
I agree! Proud of you!
Agreed!
I love the term “foster failure”. Einstein is adorable! You are angels for caring for him xx
Einstein is precious!! I'm so happy that he has a loving home now, he deserves to live the rest of his days being spoiled. He looked so pitiful in the beginning. God bless your family for taking him in 🙏

That sounds peaceful
We have an Einstein too but he’s a grey British short hair cat. Also, I’m in SW Fort Worth so I’ll be reaching out to Chelsea for our pup ❤️
That little pooch looks so at hoem with your daughter. I am glad you guys were able to give it a home and a new life.

Such big hearts for saving little Einstein❤❤🎉 your family is the best
Today's very productive, and I finally got a craving every day for salad.
It's warming up and looking forward to our farmers' market opening again.
Happy Birthday Shannon!! So love that you kept little Einstein!!❤️❤️

Welcome!
Have a great birthday Shannon, it's lovely to see you.
Good Morning, I always put a load of laundry in first thing in the morning and then make sure my sink is empty and cleaned.
Happy Birthday

Happy Birthday! Taco shells are corn base which isn’t gluten. Lettuce is great to use for a bun for meat.
I've seen older videos and I really liked that you moved shelves in the laundry room. Better all around good job!
You also put garlic in olive oil and put in your fridge 😊
Thank you! God bless you today.❤️
Happy birthday to you many more I love the fur baby story how you save him he look so cute after you groomed him hope you keep him wishing the whole family peace happiness and always good health 🌺🌺🌺🙏🙏🥰🥰🥰❤️❤️❤️

Happiest of Happy Birthdays!!
Oh the fun with the doggie!!
You are looking great. It has taken me years to get over my perfectionism. Better is good enough.
Fels Naptha is an old old soap. My Grandma used it when I was a kid and I’m almost 70. I guess I better try to find it somewhere. Thanks!
I'm folding a mountain of laundry watching your channel. Lol!
Happy Birthday, Shannon!! Hope you had a wonderful day and your year is the best one yet!

Happy Birthday Shannon!!!🎉🎉🎉 love your videos!!!
Doing so great. Happy b day! Nice to see grace got a friend, Einstein appreciates it
I like to put spinach in my smoothie. And when I put just a little honey in it, it doesn’t taste bitter.
Peeled garlic like that will stay nice as long as they don't get banged around much.
One thought on the smoothie pounding, be careful with carbs. Smoothies are lovely and I don't know what your nutrition goals are. ❤❤
There are a ton of ideas for frozen smoothie packs on Pinterest! 😍 I love your foster fail!! What a honey!

Maybe I'm wrong, but it seems to me like from video to video you get slimmer..
Love your calm and at the same time fun energy.

You could also freeze spoonfuls in an ice cube tray 😊
I was laughing and getting choked up over Einstein absolute precious
Lettuce cups are a great carb-free substitute for tortillas, and they are a money-saver, too. Happy birthday!
“Domino chore”👏🏻👍🏼

Mindy Pederson uses that same song lol. Don’t know if you have heard of her. And quick wash is great but it does use more water, fyi 😊

The zucchini was totally undetectable.
There is gluten free white corn tortillas that are so good you can’t tell the difference!
The fresh peeled garlic freezes well. You may need to separate on a parchment paper sheet first. Then place in a container. Take only out what you need at one time. ❤
I didn’t think of that. Thanks!
Lettuce works as bread too😊
Those strawberries are from my home town Melbourne Australia
That was a lot of laundry....good job!! Don't you just love fresh laundry!! Another great video!! Oh....and Happy Birthday To You!!!!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!!
Yes! This same thing happens to me....add one thing, something else falls off😛😅 2:28
