With your four children, I can't imagine hosting so many people and making up so many beds, but what a fun opportunity for all of you! I know that Amy has been in Europe, which is likely why she was missing. Kristen you are a beautiful example of the hospitality that Jesus spoke about.
I'm 76 and just relaxing watching your video after 2 of my high school friends stayed for a sleep over. We three are new widows and we talked about Martha and Mary too. I just treasure all the joy and encouragement we share with each other and have throughout our life journeys. Wish they were thrifters like your friends ❤
@@marylynnrybak6507 Take them one day to a thrift place or if you have estate sales and they may become thrifters. I have a friend who doesn’t need to thrift like me, but now she loves going and found a beautiful new sweater with tags at an estate sale and she is hooked. We live in a town where almost every weekend there are three to five sales. By Saturday the prices are half off or way better than that. Good luck. Maybe a neighbor or other friend might want to go.
I felt every bit of love and care you gave to us as you opened your heart and home. This was a retreat for the books and I’ll never forget the special times we shared. Thank you dear friend!! What a gift the Lord has given us to know and serve each other.
So fun to have found your channel! I'm enjoying seeing you young, Christian mamas enjoying homemaking, thrifting and creating refuge as I have enjoyed doing for almost 50 years. Never a doubt that it is a life worth living - simple, beautiful and honoring to the Lord!
Kristen you are a true gem and such a gracious host! Your home was so peaceful and your attitude towards hosting put all of us at ease. A trip I’ll always treasure!
Little Chick, you've been through illness, a tornado, child-birth, etc., you deserve to have your house cleaned! Wow! all my favorites in the same video. Love all your channels. God bless.
Sara from She Holds Dearly is my sister down to wearing dresses all the time. I always hope that my sister had the opportunity to watch Sara at least once. I know she would have loved her style. As my sister would have loved your style as well. My sister taught me how to care for a home and develop my own style. I enjoy watching yours and Saras channels. 😊 Im so glad your dream has come true, Kristen. Praise God for his faithfulness. By honoring him in all that you do, he, in turn, has shown you a parh that touches more women than you could every hope for or image. ❤
Well done, Kristen! I am such a Martha (self-admitted) and hospitality does not come easy to me. So glad you were able to hire a house cleaner for the preparing of your sweet home. I would have been a basket case…sorry to say. I’m a work in progress…what else can I say?! 😊. Cindi (from WV).
I watched Sarah Grace in my space last video and you are the only one I knew. I admire how you always introduce others on your channel. You're a very selfless person. Thank you for your example🙏
This video makes my heart happy!! Some of my most favorite ladies on TH-cam to watch :) your home is so welcoming Kristen I am sure you were an incredible host! Have loved watching you evolve and grown on here!!
Hi Kristen I am sure your friends felt loved and special . The places you took them to looked so fun. I am too much of a Martha. I need to realize it does not have to be a perfect house, perfect dinner, perfect dessert. Thanks for giving us that Biblical lesson. You got to host this special time and you were hoping you would just meet one of these young ladies within ten years. You exceeded your goals on UTube. Your subs love you, your family, your Christian values, your content, and your super fun personality. ❤❤❤❤
This is what Gods Blessings is ; Upon Kristen,her Family members , her friends , her Communities. . Many people only dream of such a loving exsistence for themselves ..But ..God has given her in abundace what she wanted in life , but never even thought to Ask.. Our Heavenly Father.
I enjoyed this so much. Your commentary on hospitality was so encouraging and inspiring. May God continue to bless you, your family and your ministry right here on TH-cam. 🙏
Kristen, I'm 66 years old and I just love this type of gathering and sharing what you girls have in common. I know this was such a retreat and everyone gets to see how each lady decorates their home. I love thrifting/antiquing to share with my friends , what my heart loves .I don't think we will ever change from sharing what we love, the peace, joy, laughter , and just feeling welcome with each friends home when we visit. Can't wait to see more.
You are absolutely one of my favorites that I follow on here! You are the perfect example of a hostess who has the mostest! Beautiful home!I can’t wait to see all of these women’s videos because I follow all of them as well!
I watch all of you from time to time, you are all so talented. Love the fact of the togetherness, I have 3 very special friends that we go out at least once a week and explore thrift stores, and I thank God every day for these 3 friends!!! Keep up the good work ladies see you all soon!
I've watched you, Andrea and Sarah for a few years. The other 2 not as much. Will need to catch up with them. I so appreciate how all of you bring the Word of God and Jesus into your videos. Hospitality has always been one of my favourite giftings. Although I am 70 now, I can still learn a few things from you young moms. I still love hosting and probably always will no matter how small my little apartment is. God bless you all.
New subscriber. I watch several of the TH-camrs in your group, and am so enthralled with them! Y’all look like y’all could be sisters! The way y’all interact with each other is such a pleasure to watch. I am retired from teaching, wife of 52 years, mother of three daughters, and grandmother to three, 2 girls (26 and 11) and one boy (3 years old). I so enjoy watching the young women making homes for their families and so wish TH-cam had been around when I was raising my family. Even now, at age 72, I learn so much from y’all! Sending love ♥️ and hugs 🤗 from Texas.
Hi Kristen, what a beautiful meetting. Thanks to following Andrea since her beginnings, I discovered your channel and Sara's. I love you all. The warmth and love their homes and families bring is inspiring. Thanks for sharing it. May our beloved Lord bless you, to all your friends and their families 🤍✝️🌹🙏🏼
Hi , I just found your videos and you look like such a sweet kind hearted person I had to subscribe😊 I love how you have God in your heart and put Him first in your life. Your house is beautiful and all the places you were here too. Glad you ladies had a wonderful time together.
Wow this was so thrilling to watch, and see you hosting all these lovely ladies in your gorgeous home and town. Great work with your channel Kristen, thank you for putting in all this work and pumping out so many videos for us to enjoy in this season. You look so beautiful and your new baby is sooooo precious and cute. Praise the Lord! Blessings - Sandra
I LOVE that you shared you hired a house cleaner! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 I have had the privilege of doing that a few times over the years & it is such a treat. Thanks for being transparent about that, makes me enjoy your channel even more. Keep up the great work. 💜
I had so much fun just watching Lilly stare at the camera and reaching out to hold your hand. She is a star . You are pretty special yourself for all you do. I would have honestly not been able to think about having so many guest when my children were so small. Like I have said before. You are doing a great job!
Came over from She Holds Dearly. Her video as I'm sure you've seen, focuses on your home and I have to say, it is lovely. Looking forward to seeing more of your videos.
This visit has been God Blessed! You’re all sisters in Christ and it shows! I felt so privileged to be able to join this wonderful group on TH-cam! What a glorious way to spend the last Sunday in October! Love and blessings! 🍁❤️🍁❤️🍁❤️
You are an amazing mom & spiritual encourager. I am a 57 yr old mama of 3, living in Michigan. Our oldest lives in Kansas so once a year, we do get a trip out west. I should try to get to Omaha next time. My middle son just got married and he is planning to be a pastor. My youngest daughter is 20 and she is in college. Love your channel. And I watch all the others as well.
Ohhhh, I know you was super excited to host this event. It truly looked like a bunch of friends spending the day together, that just made that much closer. Bless you for all your work and hospitality. Great video. ❤😊
What is truly lovely about Kirsten is her authenticity. She has created a beautiful home but doesn’t hide the reality of being a mum and all that comes with it. Homes however beautiful are not always perfect. She is so perfectly inperfect and I promise I mean that as a compliment. Perfect isn’t real but Kirsten is!!!
I am a senior citizen living in the Phoenix metro. Since 1985, my husband has been in full time ministry serving on church staff, missionary in Ghana, and senior pastor of two churches. We raised 3 sons, and now have 9 grandchildren. Due to my health, I am home bound now.
@terrizimmerman5297. Nice to meet you! I live in Goodyear, AZ and have been subscribed to Kristen for several years. I'm also a senior who loves Jesus. Love this channel!
Kristen you are so gracious and hospitable. You mentioned a few things you did to prepare for your guest ahead of time. I would love a video in more detail about how/what you did to prepare for your guests so you could be more present with them. I love hosting others but I am a Martha to the core.
Thank you so much for taking us along with you and your friends. ☺️🤗That blanket that you really liked was actually a great price. I looked it up online and one place was charging over $200 for it. 😳 Maybe, you should put it on your Christmas wishlist 😉. I really enjoy watching your channel.
I just love your videos, but even more so, your heart. It is really special that you read scripture and also explain how it applies to our lives. Such an inspiration. And your home is beautiful. Thank you for sharing all the little touches you do to make it so lovely.
Looks like a wonderful time spent with the girls thus far! You're a fabulous host, Kristen. I'm sure all the girls were so appreciative of everything you prepped for before their visits. So sweet!
I am a grandma. I have 4 beautiful grand babies. Watching your videos brings back memories. You have a beautiful family and I can’t wait to see your next video. Have a blessed day.
I was born and raised in Omaha. I have not lived there in 40 years- but every time I come back it always floods me with warm memories. I love watching your channel. Bless you and your family!
You are truly blessed to have such a wonderful group of friends. I’m new to your channel, discovered you through Pine and Prospect’s vlog. Looking forward to seeing more of your vlogs!
Friends are the best! I am 68 and have a group of friends that I have known since grade school. A few live nearby so we are able to see each other often but the rest are spread across the country. For several years we have been taking a trip together every couple of years and it the best time❤ I bought a sign on one of our trips that says it best. TRUE FRIENDS are people you don’t need to talk to every single day. You don’t need to talk to each other for weeks, but when you do, it’s as if you’d never stopped talking.
Hi I follow Lisa and Andrea , I live in Connecticut and I’m 74 and married to the hardest working man I know for 56 years in December. You have a beautiful spirit and a beautiful home, thank you for sharing both with us. 😊
Im not a you tuber, but that is a dream of mine to have close friends and make those memories. I love this video and I watch all the ladies that attended they and you are wonderful and you all have Jesus in your hearts. Thank you
Kristen, I'm tearing up, feeling like I'm on a Women's Retreat with all of you. Thank You for taking us along. Can't wait till the next video. Continued Blessings!!!
Your service is true hospitality. Love all those ladies, especially Sarah from She Holds Dearly! When we drove to South Dakota to visit family, we always stopped in Grand Island, Nebraska. The downtown had a very old world feel and the antique stores were fabulous. Not to mention the little family owned diner. Haven't been through there in years now. ❤
Hi Kristin, I just started watching and really like your videos. Your home and children are beautiful. I live in New England and love to thrift and decorate. I am a Christian and really felt so comforted to hear you talk about Jesus. Can you tell me where you purchased your Sweatshirt?
Hi! I’m new here! I found your channel from Sarah at She Holds Dearly. I’ve been following her and Sarah from Grace in my Space for a few years now. I’m currently living in Texas after living most of my 62 years in California. I’m looking forward to following your TH-cam channel. You have a beautiful home. 😊😊
So fun to see the crossover with so many of my favorite women on TH-cam! Loved, too, that your newest daughter and Lisa’s littlest were along for the fun ☺️
Hi Kristen! New subscriber! I saw Lisa Bass and Andrea from Pine and Prospect and clicked on the video. This was a treasure to see all of you ladies together. It looks like you enjoyed. I am a 54 years young wife of 30 years, full time homemaker, part time Christian musician, piano teacher, and travel agent, with three adult children and two grandchildren. I love just outside Pittsburgh near the airport. It is nice to be able to connect with you as a fellow lover of Jesus. I’m a seven year BSF student and lifelong worshipper of Christ. Great to ,set you online! May the Lord, prosper your family, your walk with Him and your TH-cam channel! 🙏🏾♥️
Oh I been waiting for this video Kristen! You are an amazing Mama and I admire all you do, especially readings about Jesus! I am from Pennsylvania and Mom of 3 and Mom Mom to 11. Life is full and your videos encourage, help, and soothe me. 🙏🙏
Omgosh Kristen, you have really become a beautiful soul! I loved this video and am sharing this with my daughters. Jesus is shining on you today girl. This was a beautiful lesson of Jesus🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
What a wonderful group of beautiful ladies who love the Lord and are such great caretakers of their homes and family. Kristen, you are truly an amazing wife, mother and friend. Keep holding up the name of Jesus on your channel!
Recent subscriber & I love your channel! I’m 56 but young at heart. It’s like getting together with an old friend when I watch your videos. You have such darling girls and I love your decor! ❤️ How neat that God granted you your goal and then some! 🙌🏻
Hi Kristen, I love your illustration of Mary and Martha. I remember just reading this just a few days ago. Thanks for also reading it. I enjoyed hearing it again. Your home looks great! It looks like you guys had a wonderful time!
There are so many great lessons about hospitality in this video, all of which I need to hear! But the biggest might be the practice of being present. And for me, like you, that means saying “yes” to help-which is hard for me. I don’t know why I think I have to do it all- I really think people are more comfortable if they are treated like family, not “guests”. Can’t internalize that, apparently!
Awwww!!!! This was so wonderful to see! It’s so wonderful to see the support of friends. You’re right, it’s like a big sleep over 😂❤ I’m so glad you all had a wonderful time! 👋 from Kansas!
Beautiful vlog from beginning to end!! TFS, I was so looking forward to this week!! I’ve watched several of these lovely ladies from early days.. how ironic you’re all friends too! It was so fun to travel along to the beautiful shops! I must get to Omaha Nebraska 😊 I especially love the scripture you shared, along with making your home welcoming and lovely..to host these lovely ladies❤ Looking forward to next week!
Yay Kristen, I follow Andrea and Sarah of She Holds Dearly. I'm so glad you all get to encourage each other. I wish I could get my house functional to be hospitable.
I can’t imagine hosting that many people with four kids and one being a little baby. I can’t even keep my home clean and decorated for my husband and I. Love all these ladies and glad you all had a good time.
What a special time to spend with such special friends. My husband lived in Nebraska for several years as a child, very rurally on the western side of the state 🙂
Kristen, you looked so calm as the ladies were about to be there, but I was nervous for you. Your comments from Jesus were so practical. I hope to start following his words when hosting. I get nervous even when it is my own children and their families. I just need to pray about it more, because I want them to come so much. I want them to enjoy it when they are there.
Lisa keeping Victor occupied! That’s a handful, but she’s a pro with 8 kiddos! I love her♥️ This is my first time seeing your channel, so I plan on watching you now! You’re a brave girl hosting these ladies, you did a great job Kristen! And I am 100% with you on hiring someone to give the house the extra clean you wanted!😊
Thank you so much for sharing your group reunion. I was looking for Amy but didn't see her this time. What a fun historical tour and awesome hospitality tips to keep in mind. It felt like being there. I think that's awesome that they all helped you out. Looking forward to the antiqueing upcoming one.

With your four children, I can't imagine hosting so many people and making up so many beds, but what a fun opportunity for all of you! I know that Amy has been in Europe, which is likely why she was missing. Kristen you are a beautiful example of the hospitality that Jesus spoke about.
I'm 76 and just relaxing watching your video after 2 of my high school friends stayed for a sleep over. We three are new widows and we talked about Martha and Mary too. I just treasure all the joy and encouragement we share with each other and have throughout our life journeys. Wish they were thrifters like your friends ❤
That is awesome!
@@marylynnrybak6507 Take them one day to a thrift place or if you have estate sales and they may become thrifters. I have a friend who doesn’t need to thrift like me, but now she loves going and found a beautiful new sweater with tags at an estate sale and she is hooked. We live in a town where almost every weekend there are three to five sales. By Saturday the prices are half off or way better than that. Good luck. Maybe a neighbor or other friend might want to go.
I felt every bit of love and care you gave to us as you opened your heart and home. This was a retreat for the books and I’ll never forget the special times we shared. Thank you dear friend!! What a gift the Lord has given us to know and serve each other.
I love your channel too, and love the lavender blue cottage!!
@@megansorrell8946Oh thank you! I hope we can start projects on it in the new year!
So fun to have found your channel! I'm enjoying seeing you young, Christian mamas enjoying homemaking, thrifting and creating refuge as I have enjoyed doing for almost 50 years. Never a doubt that it is a life worth living - simple, beautiful and honoring to the Lord!

Aww, what a sweet comment to give Kristen! ❤
Little Chick, you've been through illness, a tornado, child-birth, etc., you deserve to have your house cleaned! Wow! all my favorites in the same video. Love all your channels. God bless.
Great video.

OMG, your baby girl is just darling.
Unbelievable sweet ❤❤
Absolutely- a real cutie pie ❤
Looks like you all had a wonderful time. I am 59 years old and I enjoy your videos so much. You are a great mother, wife and example of a Godly woman.
Thank you so much!

You can do it!
I loved seeing all of you together. I’m subscribed to you, Sarah (She Holds Dearly, Lisa, And Andrea
What an amazing group!!!!.. I know it was a life-changing weekend.

Yeah, Nebraska!!!! So glad they got to see it's beauty ❤
Thank you so much for taking us along with you and your friends. ☺️🤗That blanket that you really liked was actually a great price. I looked it up online and one place was charging over $200 for it. 😳
Maybe, you should put it on your Christmas wishlist 😉.
I really enjoy watching your channel.
I love it!
Incredible hospitality!
You did a lovely job hosting this retreat! It looks so fun!
A beautiful example of true friendship. ❤ I wish I had this in my life.
High tea.. that is a treat.
I just love your videos, but even more so, your heart. It is really special that you read scripture and also explain how it applies to our lives. Such an inspiration. And your home is beautiful. Thank you for sharing all the little touches you do to make it so lovely.
I love your comeback Windsor rocker. Looks to be in great condition and you got a heckuva deal!
I think so too!
Looks so fun! Only other person I wish was present is Laura from Our Oily House. Love her videos so much!
I can’t wait to see all of the girls hauls! Loved this Bideo! Can’t wait for the next One!❤❤❤❤❤❤ 🐶
Coming soon!
Aww please fuss the dog! 😂 I know you do but he was so excited! 🙏🤎🍂🇬🇧🖐🏻
I watch all of you and love each of your channels for what you have to offer and share.
Looks like a wonderful time spent with the girls thus far! You're a fabulous host, Kristen. I'm sure all the girls were so appreciative of everything you prepped for before their visits. So sweet!
Lily is a joy to watch ❤
I've missed watching your videos. So happy to see you again. ❤
Welcome back!
I am a grandma. I have 4 beautiful grand babies. Watching your videos brings back memories. You have a beautiful family and I can’t wait to see your next video. Have a blessed day.
Thank you so much!

Welcome!!
Its great that you all got together to celebrate your friendship and love of thrifting. ❤
Love Omaha! I was stationed at Offutt 30+ years ago as a very young airman and Old Town was an escape from the base even back then.
How fun! Your home looked beautiful and welcoming! ❤

I love this story of Martha and Mary. I am definitely a Martha. I aspire to be a Mary. Thank you for this reminder! Loved your video.
Im not a you tuber, but that is a dream of mine to have close friends and make those memories. I love this video and I watch all the ladies that attended they and you are wonderful and you all have Jesus in your hearts. Thank you
Kristen, I'm tearing up, feeling like I'm on a Women's Retreat with all of you. Thank You for taking us along. Can't wait till the next video. Continued Blessings!!!
Your service is true hospitality. Love all those ladies, especially Sarah from She Holds Dearly! When we drove to South Dakota to visit family, we always stopped in Grand Island, Nebraska. The downtown had a very old world feel and the antique stores were fabulous. Not to mention the little family owned diner. Haven't been through there in years now. ❤
Your sweet Christ honoring spirit refreshed my soul today! In the loving bonds of Christ.
I love how you honor Jesus with your words and in your home. So beautiful! My favorite place to be is home. Thanks for sharing!🌸🌺🌼💜🌸🌺
Hi Kristin, I just started watching and really like your videos. Your home and children are beautiful. I live in New England and love to thrift and decorate. I am a Christian and really felt so comforted to hear you talk about Jesus. Can you tell me where you purchased your Sweatshirt?
Hi! I’m new here! I found your channel from Sarah at She Holds Dearly. I’ve been following her and Sarah from Grace in my Space for a few years now. I’m currently living in Texas after living most of my 62 years in California. I’m looking forward to following your TH-cam channel. You have a beautiful home. 😊😊
Welcome!!
So fun to see the crossover with so many of my favorite women on TH-cam! Loved, too, that your newest daughter and Lisa’s littlest were along for the fun ☺️
Yes! Thank you!
God bless you & your family Kristen! I just joined your channel. What a blessing you are.
Welcome!!
Hi Kristen! New subscriber! I saw Lisa Bass and Andrea from Pine and Prospect and clicked on the video. This was a treasure to see all of you ladies together. It looks like you enjoyed. I am a 54 years young wife of 30 years, full time homemaker, part time Christian musician, piano teacher, and travel agent, with three adult children and two grandchildren. I love just outside Pittsburgh near the airport. It is nice to be able to connect with you as a fellow lover of Jesus. I’m a seven year BSF student and lifelong worshipper of Christ. Great to ,set you online! May the Lord, prosper your family, your walk with Him and your TH-cam channel! 🙏🏾♥️
Oh I been waiting for this video Kristen! You are an amazing Mama and I admire all you do, especially readings about Jesus! I am from Pennsylvania and Mom of 3 and Mom Mom to 11. Life is full and your videos encourage, help, and soothe me. 🙏🙏
Omgosh Kristen, you have really become a beautiful soul! I loved this video and am sharing this with my daughters. Jesus is shining on you today girl. This was a beautiful lesson of Jesus🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
Please do!
Beautiful home.
What a wonderful group of beautiful ladies who love the Lord and are such great caretakers of their homes and family. Kristen, you are truly an amazing wife, mother and friend. Keep holding up the name of Jesus on your channel!
Thank you so much!
This was amazing! Looks like everyone was loving it!😊
Recent subscriber & I love your channel! I’m 56 but young at heart. It’s like getting together with an old friend when I watch your videos. You have such darling girls and I love your decor! ❤️ How neat that God granted you your goal and then some! 🙌🏻
Welcome aboard!
Hi Kristen, I love your illustration of Mary and Martha. I remember just reading this just a few days ago. Thanks for also reading it. I enjoyed hearing it again. Your home looks great! It looks like you guys had a wonderful time!
This was so beautiful having your friends over it’s always a pleasure ..love love this video..thank you for sur..🤍🤍🤍🤎🤍🤍🤍🍂🍂🍂🍂🍁🍁🍂🐿️🍂🍂✨✨✨👌👌🙋🏻♀️🙏🙏
There are so many great lessons about hospitality in this video, all of which I need to hear! But the biggest might be the practice of being present. And for me, like you, that means saying “yes” to help-which is hard for me. I don’t know why I think I have to do it all- I really think people are more comfortable if they are treated like family, not “guests”. Can’t internalize that, apparently!
Awwww!!!! This was so wonderful to see! It’s so wonderful to see the support of friends. You’re right, it’s like a big sleep over 😂❤ I’m so glad you all had a wonderful time!
👋 from Kansas!
Beautiful vlog from beginning to end!! TFS, I was so looking forward to this week!! I’ve watched several of these lovely ladies from early days.. how ironic you’re all friends too! It was so fun to travel along to the beautiful shops! I must get to Omaha Nebraska 😊
I especially love the scripture you shared, along with making your home welcoming and lovely..to host these lovely ladies❤ Looking forward to next week!
Yay Kristen, I follow Andrea and Sarah of She Holds Dearly. I'm so glad you all get to encourage each other. I wish I could get my house functional to be hospitable.
I can’t imagine hosting that many people with four kids and one being a little baby. I can’t even keep my home clean and decorated for my husband and I. Love all these ladies and glad you all had a good time.
What a special time to spend with such special friends. My husband lived in Nebraska for several years as a child, very rurally on the western side of the state 🙂
That is awesome!
Kristen, you looked so calm as the ladies were about to be there, but I was nervous for you. Your comments from Jesus were so practical. I hope to start following his words when hosting. I get nervous even when it is my own children and their families. I just need to pray about it more, because I want them to come so much. I want them to enjoy it when they are there.
Lisa keeping Victor occupied! That’s a handful, but she’s a pro with 8 kiddos! I love her♥️
This is my first time seeing your channel, so I plan on watching you now! You’re a brave girl hosting these ladies, you did a great job Kristen! And I am 100% with you on hiring someone to give the house the extra clean you wanted!😊
Welcome!!
Thank you for having us go along with you and your friends. Thanks for sharing!
This is such a beautiful video Kristen. ❤
Thank you so much!
How sweet to open your beautiful home to everyone!🍂🧡🍁
Thank you so much for sharing your group reunion. I was looking for Amy but didn't see her this time. What a fun historical tour and awesome hospitality tips to keep in mind. It felt like being there. I think that's awesome that they all helped you out. Looking forward to the antiqueing upcoming one.
