I was thrown a diapers and dinners party before I had my first. Everyone brought a small pack of different size diapers and Resturant gift cards. It was the best !! I always do it for anyone I know having a baby now.
i was in hospital 3 months before i had my first i had some secondhand cloth nappies but he was less than 5 pounds at 1 month overdue so i gave my mum money to buy a pack of tiny nappies a week when we finally got home under my stairs cupboard was filled with nappies so all i had to do was fucus on breastfeeding and enjoying my newborn
Oh girl! I learned, after breaking and loss of many "precious" serving trays, that if it's leaving my house it will be on a "cute" throw away. It was a lesson long coming.....people remember the food on the tray way more than the tray it's on. 😉
Happiest day for me is hanging out with Becky. I live in Australia and I find a day in the life of someone so down to earth with Nurturer heart and soul that lives in a different country such a relaxing way to explore with BECKY. Love the content you put into sharing with us. 🌻🐝🥬🥕
That voice overlay saying what the scents were made me think I had accidentally started a second video on another tab. It was disconcerting. Otherwise, love your videos!
Homemade Samoa Cookies Ingredients: 2 sticks unsalted butter (1 cup) at room temperature ½ cup sugar 2 cups all purpose flour ¼ teaspoon baking powder ½ teaspoon salt 2 tablespoons milk ½ teaspoon almond extract, ½ teaspoon pure vanilla Coconut Topping 3 cups shredded sweetened coconut 20 ounces store bought caramel 4 tablespoons milk 12 ounces dark chocolate INSTRUCTIONS Making the cookies ~Preheat the oven to 350° F ~In the bowl of a stand mixer with a paddle attachment, cream the butter and sugar until light and fluffy ~In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder and salt. ~Slowly add the flour mixture to the creamed butter, mixing between each addition and being sure to scrape down the sides of the bowl as needed. ~Add the milk and vanilla and blend together to combine. ~Once combined, remove dough from mixer and separate dough in half. ~Press each half into a disk and wrap in plastic wrap. Refrigerate for about an hour. ~Once the dough has chilled, roll out each disk on a lightly floured surface until it is about ⅛" thick. Cut out as many cookies as possible with a doughnut cutter or use two cookie cutters of different sizes to get the hole in the middle. Place the cookies on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. ~Bake the cookies for 10 - 15 minutes until they are pale golden brown. ~Transfer cookies onto a wire rack to cool. Coconut topping: ~Spread the coconut onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. ~Bake the coconut for 10 - 15 minutes in a 350° oven until toasted. Stir frequently to make sure the coconut does not burn. ~Once done, remove from the oven to cool. ~Melt the caramels and milk in a double boiler over medium-low heat. Stir until fully melted. Remove from heat and combine ½ of the melted caramel with the toasted coconut in a large bowl. Stir until mixed. ~Use the remaining caramel to spread a thin layer onto the cookies. You will want to move quickly through this step so the caramel does not cool. ~Use your hands, and press the coconut mixture onto the caramel. (And remember you are looking for the perfect ratio of cookie to toppings, so don't overdo it with the caramel and coconut.) ~Let the cookie cool. ~Melt the dark chocolate in a double boiler. Once melted dip the bottom of the cookie into the chocolate and place them on a wax paper lined baking sheet. Use a piping bag (if you don’t have one, a ziploc bag will work with a corner cut off) to drizzle the remaining chocolate on the top of the cookies. ~Let the cookies sit until the chocolate hardens.
The versions in the stores by Keebler cookies are the same as GS, they are the actual bakers of the GS cookies....learned that from the district manager of Keebler....so excited to see how you recreate them!!!!!!
I stopped buying cards for baby showers and started giving children’s books as my “card”. Amazon has deals on kids books all the time, I just stock up when they’re on sale :)
I have to say, this video was particularly fun for me because throughout the entire thing I kept saying, “oh, I did that too” or, I thought, “man we were on the same track there”. I recently purchased the same vermiculite at Lowe’s, I don’t have a World Market close to me anymore but I’ve shopped there many times, motivated by the fun gift options I’d find. Being organized is so helpful when you’re a busy person and I am a total write it down in a planner kind of girl! I do put appts in my phone to start with but I like to see it on paper. The planner I like has the month at a glance but then followed by the weeks where I’m able to write more lists etc. Today I ran errands and picked up the plastic photo storage box for my seeds. I finished filling my shelf with potted seeds last night and I have no more lights so the rest I will have to plant directly into the garden. I want to get the seeds put away now so it’s not an issue down the road plus it will help be stay ready for late season planting as well. The cost of cards is outrageous and I’m a big fan of the Dollar Tree for cards but I also have quite a stash of blank note cards too! So all of that to say I loved running errands with you today 🤣, we actually were thinking along the same lines the whole trip 😉. Thank you for sharing with us, I hope the baby shower went well and as always, we look forward to your next video.
I love World Market, too! It is my go-to place for stocking stuffers and my kids Easter baskets! Also, you amaze me when you talk about trying to keep yourself organized because coming from this ADD mom, who can hardly remember to pick her kids up from school on time without having my alarm on my phone set, you look extremely put together and organized! I would be lost without my alarms and calendar on my phone! 😉 But that is because it has reminders that go off and tell me what I have to do next! A paper calendar can't get me somewhere on time! I'm looking forward to your next video. 🥰
Or...research winter sowing. This is how I'm starting all my seeds. Last season was my first growing any crops and from seed. Zone 5b, tomatoes were fantastic!
OH. MY. GOD. Your Goodwill is the most amazing Goodwill I've ever seen. Handsdown. I feel cheated! Also- I'm the exact same way about my calendar. If it's not written on paper, it's not happening!
Good afternoon, love watching your videos. I so wish we had a goodwill superstore here. As you were looking for a white serving tray, I seen so many dishes I would have gotten! Lol I was even talking to the screen, telling you “ oh get that one, that’s cool! “ lol
Decades ago, I found that getting dishes, serving platters, my Pyrex, cookie baking trays, the stainless bowls specially hunted for and purchased to nicely nest, and serving spoons back from food taking events was difficult to impossible. So, I began buying at Goodwill and thrift stores; ideally on clearance or a great price. And we did sometimes buy ahead in anticipation of a specific event.
I did that back about 40 years ago out of necessity of being so broke and poor with young girls, but fast forward today Becky's Channel and a few other channels on prepping and freezing, I should own stock in Goodwill with all the Pyrex I buy and Bake pans
Snake plants are great indoor plants that are pretty fail proof. They also help clean the air in your home! You only have to water them every week or two. At Lowe’s I think they sell them as plants of steel lol. Also I think there is a crescent roll shortage. They are almost always sold out whenever I go to the store. Can’t wait to see your garden this year!
I love the organization, hope it lasts (I usually last about a week or 2 with new organization methods, lol). Sorry about your plate! I hate when that happens, I broke 3 different glass things in a month once, one was a waterbottle with snowflakes on it I really liked! Another was super stupid, a pickle jar cranked against a mayo jar and shatter all down myself and the front of my open refrigerator... I smelled like Pickles for a while and had to throw out my bandage I had on my sprained ankle because of all the little pieces of glass... let's just say I have plastic cups and dishes😂
Oh, I like the set up of the calendars you bought! I've said it before and I'll say it again, lol. Please go check out Retails on 4th plain! They have much better options and the profit goes to SW Washington Humane Society instead of problematic greedy Goodwill.
Your Goodwill is about a 1000 times nicer than the one in my area…I’d do more thrifting if my thrift store had that kind of selection with it all in cleanly displayed and organized!!!!
I just love your videos that take us along with what you are doing! I don't know how you do all the things you do! You have so much knowledge to share with us and I have learned a lot from you. I am old enough to be your grandmother but I can still learn from you! From Alabama 😊❤❤
I’m planting seeds for the first time and I’m disappointed already but my friend ( really experienced gardener) says I’m too impatient lol. Im only wanting begonias for my baskets, trailing begonias and ordinary ones, I have 14 baskets for my garden and 12 pots. I have 6 dogs so I don’t have grass anywhere just decking and monoblock ( little bricks layen flat) good luck with your seeds xxx
I appreaciate your vids, but this time I can´t give you a like, because I´m shocked, that you didn´t wear your mask properly... or that you didn´t wear it and were walking around.....
OMG GIRL!! I AM STARTING A GARDEN THIS YEAR AND YOU WERE A HUGE INFLUENCE TO THAT DECISION! I have always wanted lots of property but I was nervous to start a garden but the last few months I have been really excited for growing season. Part of the reason I was so nervous was because ALL MY HOUSE PLANTS DIE! It makes me feel so much better when you said that yours do too! That is so funny and #relateable hahaha I love you girl! ❤️
Just want to let you know 3 my eggs hatch and now I'm a grandma again I have 16 more eggs were waiting for them to hatch little baby chickens are so cute at my chickens are free-range chickens they range within 5 Acres
Thank you again Becky for sharing your life with us. I'm working on a TH-cam channel of my own and it will be similar to yours. We have been homesteading for 7 years now and I always wanted to start a channel but didn't have the things necessary. Your channel has helped encourage me to start. Would love to collaborate with you once I'm rolling❤ I live o the sunshine coast of bc. My name is Megan.
So happy you uploaded. I'm pretty addicted to your channel now. I'm working towards starting my own indoor garden. Then when my bf and I move into a bigger space I will expand that. Thank you for showing us how you garden. You may not be a professional but you are a good teacher for what you do.
Every cook I watch on here wants to make easy meals but u want to make things hard I don't understand. I get u wanting to garden the stuff u grow is much better than what you get in the supermarket
Geez Becky, I thought I was the only one that breaks glass WAY too often! I think it’s just being in a rush! Always so much to do. Oh well❤️it just wasn’t meant to be lol thanks for letting us tag along with you!
My heart broke when I saw your platter broken 💔 I've had many moments like that. The Dollar Store gift cards have become my favorite thing since college! I use them all the time! I'm a pen and paper girl so I have 2 calendars in my house but my husband makes me enter things in our phone calendar for him- paper calendar still saves the day so many times lol
I love art and Bri. They are my favorite family. But I been worried they haven’t posted in two months. Your becoming my second favorite channel because you show your mistakes lol. And shows us don’t have be perfect to make great things.
I love Art and Bri too. I've been following them for years, and sincerely miss their vlogs. I too have been worried that they have taken on too much and will cut doing vlogs. This will make me super sad. I wish Art would give a quick vlog (doesn't have to be long or edited), letting us all know they are ok and that they will be back.
Man, I WISH we had a World Market where I'm at.... I miss going there so much! Loved the video- thanks for keeping me inspired and ready/excited to get things done :)
I can't find crescent rolls here in La. either so it must be a company issue. 🤷♀️💜 I love organization. It never use to bother me then one day it did. I fold all of my towels a certain way, organize all of my office supplies, etc. It makes it so easy when you know where to find something. Can't wait to see the video of the Girl Scout cookies, the Samoans are my fave. 💜🙋♀️
Pillsbury crescents and biscuits in a can have been impossible to find! I can find frozen biscuits, but I'm better off baking my own. I think it is a supply chain issue. It makes us remember that WE CAN BAKE OUR OWN!! 😂
As careful as you are about your food, I wish you would be as careful about shopping. The vast majority of money raised goes to salary of head of Goodwill and administrative costs. Less than 10% goes toward charitable endeavors. Red Rack (VFW - Veterans of Foreign Wars), Salvation Army and many local charity shops actually support charitable organization. Goodwill and Savers are charity ripoffs.
@@AcreHomestead I don't want about much, but Goodwill is listed as a non-profit yet does little actual charitable work. Just one of my pet peeves. So many people who need assistance and Goodwill is mean! Otherwise love watching everything you do! ❤️
My daughter and I love your videos. She asks daily if you have posted! This video was extra special for her as she is a Daisy Girl Scout. She asked that I reach out and thank you for supporting Girl Scouts with your cookie purchases (I'm looking forward to the recipes🤭). Thank you for being you! Can't wait for the next video!
I hate shopping, but going along with you was very entertaining. Love your thought processing out loud! I hope your organization tools really help you free up your brain!
Becky i hope you don't think i'm a smart ass but please fasten your purse in your cart with the child belts. someone grabbed my sister's purse in the grocery store. and it's a hassle to replace your cards, not to mention losing your money and identy. and believe someone is always watching for the chance.
Omg I'm also having a calender issue. My mind can't do weekly so now that it's March I need to hurry and get a monthly calender because the electric one's are NOT cutting it for me.
Dear Becky! I have a prepared freezer meal in the fridge now. I have felt super inspired by you and this is our own variant of honey-garlic chicken. It was super-convenient to just pull it from the freezer and throw it in the pan the next day! I only cooked some rice on the side, so that means that my meal prep for the day was about 10 minutes! I was so happy that I could immediately go back to work, just checking the chicken occasionally,, such a relief. Will do this again for sure. I still have one batch of chicken in the freezer. We have a very small freezer, but I think that if I only get 2-3 meals in the freezer in the weekend for the week, that will make such a huge difference to our quality of life and time management in general. Thank you for being here for us! You are such an inspiration and an energetic, kind, fun person.
I always enjoy these types of videos from you. I commend you for trying to make your life easier by being more organized in all of your things. That file basket was super cute & great idea. You said you break something almost daily then show us the serving platter. 🤣. It was really pretty but I guess it wasn’t meant to be. Thanks for a great video!! Always love spending the day with you.
You are strong . Multiple times saying that you like something but you don't need it... then walking away!! I always fail at that last part. LOL Fun video!
Thanks so much for this reminder. Part of prayer for me is thankfulness for stuff I would otherwise take for granted. I need to work on this more because even though times are tough and we are struggling right now, we are very blessed.
I like your planner system and your card idea Becky. Many years ago I bought those big rolls of wrapping paper in Gold and rolls of red ribbon and decided that these would be my signature wrappings so I always have them on hand and works with any occasion. Same with cards.
I do the same things with blank cards - I never feel stressed about not having an X card. Sometimes there are cute ones in the dollar spot for an even better bargain.
Your taste test reminded me of the shrimp chips I used to get through Amazon, and I went straight to their site and ordered some! I had forgotten all about them and I enjoyed them so much. Thank you!! 👵💓👵
I used to have a picture hanging on the wall of a small child sitting on the toilet. Under the picture were the words: No Job is Done Until the Paper Work is Done. It made me smile and held me accountable with that friendly reminder set near where I kept my purse. I like getting organized better than doing organization. Feels like I'm getting it all right when I set up, then that's it until next time I need to get organized, throw out the unused stuff and start again. Good Luck!
Busy Becky.....😁. I hope the calendar helps with all the jobs you have planned.👍I'm always writing lists, helps me organize a little. I had to stop going to Kohl's. I would always come home with a Vera Wang purse.😱🤣🤣🤣
When you *rearrange the letters in Target it spells Trap (just flip the g)* 😅 You did great getting out in time but my condolences on the glass platter
You got the wrong Girl Scout Cookies! Tagalongs are most definitely where it's at!!! BTW I'm not judging your lack of girl scout cookie taste ;) Love the videos. Especially the ones like the gold fish and oreo one. You do great work!
I LOVE indoor plants, as well! But, I have always killed EVERYTHING! When we moved to Arizona, a new friend gave me an Aloe Vera plant. I have kept it alive for nearly 2 years! Since then, I’ve gotten several different plants and tried mostly succulents. I’ve killed some, but I’ve also still got a few! I’ve been told that a Snake Plant is nearly impossible to kill.
Yes, snake plant (Dracaena trifasciata or also known as mother-in-laws tongue) are almost impossible to kill and they reproduce like weeds. If you ever want to plant more in a different pot, break a piece of the leaf off and stick it right in the soil. It will germinate itself and grow. I've done that and and I have a few snake plants now (I also gift them). It is said that snake plants have a number of health benefits like Filter indoor air Remove toxic pollutants. May help boost mental health. Effective against allergies. I have some indoors (as they do well indoors and outdoor).
Oh! You can make really good mint thins by taking regular ritz crackers and dipping them in mint chocolate meltaways. Yes, I know that sounds ridiculous, but they're flaky and chocolatey and minty and DELICIOUS.
Do you have an office space just for you? The reason why I ask is that it might help you with your planning, keeping records of what you do/have done and in turn help with stress/anxiety. A desk with drawers and over the top of that desk are two 12 month wall planners, one for personal events and cooking days/canning, dehydrating/freeze dry foods. Days where you are making fire lights, salves etc, and the other for planning your garden as to when you need to plant stuff, to harvest, build/maintain fences, maintenance of garden buildings, weeding, pruning etc. You could use that mobile drawer when you are in the kitchen, dining room for what you mentioned. I know for me to have an overall year planner on the wall and a more detailed planner on the desk helps me.
Wooohoooo we are blessed with another "Becky's " video!! I'm posting even before I watch video lol

Your 'Day in Life of Becky Videos' are soo relatable and motivating to get me moving and get stuff done 🙌 ❤️.
Oh girl! I learned, after breaking and loss of many "precious" serving trays, that if it's leaving my house it will be on a "cute" throw away. It was a lesson long coming.....people remember the food on the tray way more than the tray it's on. 😉
Preach….that’s me too.
The way Becky bounces from a letdown is commendable.♥
Becky, when I'm taking food to an event I buy inexpensive serving dishes at the dollar store so I don't have to worry about bringing it home.
I'd go with disposable ones lol.
Same! Then there’s no loss if it breaks or you leave it behind because there was still food on it.
It may be easier, but sometimes choosing less disposable options is much better environmentally. Just a thought.
Happiest day for me is hanging out with Becky. I live in Australia and I find a day in the life of someone so down to earth with Nurturer heart and soul that lives in a different country such a relaxing way to explore with BECKY. Love the content you put into sharing with us. 🌻🐝🥬🥕
Seriously the most wholesome channel I follow, started for the gardening, but it really adds BALANCE to what I consume. All good vibes💞

Thank you!
The versions in the stores by Keebler cookies are the same as GS, they are the actual bakers of the GS cookies....learned that from the district manager of Keebler....so excited to see how you recreate them!!!!!!
I came here to say the same thing! I love the grasshopper and coconut dreams produced by Keebler and get them year round.
I do not to clarify, when GS are selling we buy several different boxes.....I was a GS all the way through high school and will always support them.
@@tamthaluehrs I still buy during GS season. I have several nieces that are GS and I support them. However, when they're gone I move to Keebler.
I stopped buying cards for baby showers and started giving children’s books as my “card”. Amazon has deals on kids books all the time, I just stock up when they’re on sale :)
Target donates all that stuff for a tax write off! They do that here in Colorado too. I love thrifting. Thanks for taking us along
After listening to the news, having to confront personal demons and trying to get homeschool stuff done this is such a nice way to end my day
I love Old Time Pottery for serving platters! They have sale/clearance items all the time. I scored on white platters during this past holiday season

The label on my snake plant actually says it thrives on neglect 👍
Absolutely! Had to learn that from my part Chinese grandmother!
@@Mama-tea haha I have the same problem! I have them in almost every room now and I've started giving them away.
I live is dry Colorado and I water my snake plant once a month.
I love the organization, hope it lasts (I usually last about a week or 2 with new organization methods, lol). Sorry about your plate!

Geewhiz if Girl Scout cookies box is getting smaller you won’t have any cookies and still be paying for them
I create cards on my computer. You can buy blank cards for printing. That way the cards is totally customized for the person and occasion
Nice hanging out, Becky! I love treasure hunting at home goods…..ooooo Becky, what I do is make my own cards!!! You need card stock..:)

I agree with the plain note card for any occasion. I would rather spend more on the gift than put it all into a card. Those are really pretty too!
Just want to let you know 3 my eggs hatch and now I'm a grandma again I have 16 more eggs were waiting for them to hatch little baby chickens are so cute at my chickens are free-range chickens they range within 5 Acres
White is not boring… is classy …. I only have white in my kitchen 🥰🥰🥰🥰
Thank you again Becky for sharing your life with us. I'm working on a TH-cam channel of my own and it will be similar to yours. We have been homesteading for 7 years now and I always wanted to start a channel but didn't have the things necessary. Your channel has helped encourage me to start. Would love to collaborate with you once I'm rolling❤ I live o the sunshine coast of bc. My name is Megan.
I think there's a glitch in the audio when your looking at soap. Also I love your videos.
Please do not take your mask off in a store. I know you are filming content, and the mandate will end soon. Just watching made me uncomfortable.
So happy you uploaded. I'm pretty addicted to your channel now. I'm working towards starting my own indoor garden. Then when my bf and I move into a bigger space I will expand that. Thank you for showing us how you garden. You may not be a professional but you are a good teacher for what you do.
Every cook I watch on here wants to make easy meals but u want to make things hard I don't understand. I get u wanting to garden the stuff u grow is much better than what you get in the supermarket
I'm in love with your kitchen. I wanna see a house tour. You are amazing!!!
Get a snake plant!!!! Easiest plant ever!!!! Start with that!!!
Echo, echo, echo...lol 😂
Was your mom with you? You keep saying 'we' but I didn't see her!
Geez Becky, I thought I was the only one that breaks glass WAY too often! I think it’s just being in a rush! Always so much to do. Oh well❤️it just wasn’t meant to be lol thanks for letting us tag along with you!
My heart broke when I saw your platter broken 💔 I've had many moments like that. The Dollar Store gift cards have become my favorite thing since college! I use them all the time! I'm a pen and paper girl so I have 2 calendars in my house but my husband makes me enter things in our phone calendar for him- paper calendar still saves the day so many times lol
Glue it together
I enjoy your videos so much, Becky! And I love how you always say “hanging out with me”. That’s totally what it feels like 😊
Yay! Love that :)
IG: Becky posted a video
Me: Closes ALL tabs except YT and zooms to watch! ☕️
Woosahhhhhhhh 🪴
Trying my hand at composting this year. Any tips??
I guess Becky and breakables do not go together.
I love art and Bri. They are my favorite family. But I been worried they haven’t posted in two months. Your becoming my second favorite channel because you show your mistakes lol. And shows us don’t have be perfect to make great things.
I love Art and Bri too. I've been following them for years, and sincerely miss their vlogs. I too have been worried that they have taken on too much and will cut doing vlogs. This will make me super sad. I wish Art would give a quick vlog (doesn't have to be long or edited), letting us all know they are ok and that they will be back.
Man, I WISH we had a World Market where I'm at.... I miss going there so much! Loved the video- thanks for keeping me inspired and ready/excited to get things done :)
What do u mean when u says grass feed grass finished beef??
I am with you in squares. I cant stand circles. ugh. Great video. Happy Ash Wednesday. Enjoy the weekend. Cuppa tea to you. ☕
To make thin mints dip ritz crackers in melted Andes mints. Literally better than the Girl Scout cookies!
I can't find crescent rolls here in La. either so it must be a company issue. 🤷♀️💜 I love organization. It never use to bother me then one day it did. I fold all of my towels a certain way, organize all of my office supplies, etc. It makes it so easy when you know where to find something. Can't wait to see the video of the Girl Scout cookies, the Samoans are my fave. 💜🙋♀️
Pillsbury crescents and biscuits in a can have been impossible to find! I can find frozen biscuits, but I'm better off baking my own. I think it is a supply chain issue. It makes us remember that WE CAN BAKE OUR OWN!! 😂
Just letting you know that there's a spelling error in your thumbnail!
Good afternoon Becky and family love watching your videos can't wait for growing season
around 9:40 there is double audio, just for me?
As careful as you are about your food, I wish you would be as careful about shopping. The vast majority of money raised goes to salary of head of Goodwill and administrative costs. Less than 10% goes toward charitable endeavors. Red Rack (VFW - Veterans of Foreign Wars), Salvation Army and many local charity shops actually support charitable organization. Goodwill and Savers are charity ripoffs.
Wow Thank you!
@@AcreHomestead I don't want about much, but Goodwill is listed as a non-profit yet does little actual charitable work. Just one of my pet peeves. So many people who need assistance and Goodwill is mean! Otherwise love watching everything you do! ❤️
You could make your own plantable cards. Then the person recieving their card could have a plant/flower surprise too.
My daughter and I love your videos. She asks daily if you have posted! This video was extra special for her as she is a Daisy Girl Scout. She asked that I reach out and thank you for supporting Girl Scouts with your cookie purchases (I'm looking forward to the recipes🤭). Thank you for being you! Can't wait for the next video!
Wow Thank you! My husband came home with 6 boxes today!!!
Your good will is full of stuff mine is empty
Garlic comfey how to make it Becky
I hate shopping, but going along with you was very entertaining. Love your thought processing out loud! I hope your organization tools really help you free up your brain!
Becky i hope you don't think i'm a smart ass but please fasten your purse in your cart with the child belts. someone grabbed my sister's purse in the grocery store. and it's a hassle to replace your cards, not to mention losing your money and identy. and believe someone is always watching for the chance.
Oh wow good idea!!!
Where I live, we take a children’s book instead of a card to baby showers. At least those can be signed and used after the shower!
Love that! Thank you!
Omg I'm also having a calender issue. My mind can't do weekly so now that it's March I need to hurry and get a monthly calender because the electric one's are NOT cutting it for me.
Yes! Make GS cookie dupes! My two favorites.
Why don't you ever ware your hair down.
Dear Becky! I have a prepared freezer meal in the fridge now. I have felt super inspired by you and this is our own variant of honey-garlic chicken. It was super-convenient to just pull it from the freezer and throw it in the pan the next day! I only cooked some rice on the side, so that means that my meal prep for the day was about 10 minutes! I was so happy that I could immediately go back to work, just checking the chicken occasionally,, such a relief. Will do this again for sure. I still have one batch of chicken in the freezer. We have a very small freezer, but I think that if I only get 2-3 meals in the freezer in the weekend for the week, that will make such a huge difference to our quality of life and time management in general. Thank you for being here for us! You are such an inspiration and an energetic, kind, fun person.
I always enjoy these types of videos from you. I commend you for trying to make your life easier by being more organized in all of your things. That file basket was super cute & great idea. You said you break something almost daily then show us the serving platter. 🤣. It was really pretty but I guess it wasn’t meant to be. Thanks for a great video!! Always love spending the day with you.
You are strong . Multiple times saying that you like something but you don't need it... then walking away!! I always fail at that last part. LOL Fun video!
Thanks so much for this reminder. Part of prayer for me is thankfulness for stuff I would otherwise take for granted. I need to work on this more because even though times are tough and we are struggling right now, we are very blessed.
I like your planner system and your card idea Becky. Many years ago I bought those big rolls of wrapping paper in Gold and rolls of red ribbon and decided that these would be my signature wrappings so I always have them on hand and works with any occasion. Same with cards.
Did you know your freeze dried coffee video is linked on the harvest right website?
No!! Wow!
I do the same things with blank cards - I never feel stressed about not having an X card. Sometimes there are cute ones in the dollar spot for an even better bargain.
Ross and TJ Max are also great places for inexpensive boxed cards!
Your taste test reminded me of the shrimp chips I used to get through Amazon, and I went straight to their site and ordered some! I had forgotten all about them and I enjoyed them so much. Thank you!! 👵💓👵
It’s so funny cause I had to stop going to target my college years cause I would buy everything! I haven’t been in one in years.
I just don't know how you do it all!
I used to have a picture hanging on the wall of a small child sitting on the toilet. Under the picture were the words: No Job is Done Until the Paper Work is Done. It made me smile and held me accountable with that friendly reminder set near where I kept my purse. I like getting organized better than doing organization. Feels like I'm getting it all right when I set up, then that's it until next time I need to get organized, throw out the unused stuff and start again. Good Luck!
Busy Becky.....😁. I hope the calendar helps with all the jobs you have planned.👍I'm always writing lists, helps me organize a little. I had to stop going to Kohl's. I would always come home with a Vera Wang purse.😱🤣🤣🤣
So look forward to your vlogs Becky and so happy to see your subscriber numbers going up you deserve it xx
Yeah 229 000 subs 🥰
Yes she does definitely deserve good things in her life.
It's really like having a friend chatting to you.
When you *rearrange the letters in Target it spells Trap (just flip the g)* 😅 You did great getting out in time but my condolences on the glass platter
You got the wrong Girl Scout Cookies! Tagalongs are most definitely where it's at!!! BTW I'm not judging your lack of girl scout cookie taste ;) Love the videos. Especially the ones like the gold fish and oreo one. You do great work!
My mother in law gave me that exact towel “Let that shiitake go” from world market at Christmas because she’s Japanese and she found it hilarious.
You really did a lot of errands!! I would be exhausted!! 😀😀
I was!
You should try cactus
I LOVE indoor plants, as well! But, I have always killed EVERYTHING! When we moved to Arizona, a new friend gave me an Aloe Vera plant. I have kept it alive for nearly 2 years! Since then, I’ve gotten several different plants and tried mostly succulents. I’ve killed some, but I’ve also still got a few! I’ve been told that a Snake Plant is nearly impossible to kill.
Yes, snake plant (Dracaena trifasciata or also known as mother-in-laws tongue) are almost impossible to kill and they reproduce like weeds. If you ever want to plant more in a different pot, break a piece of the leaf off and stick it right in the soil. It will germinate itself and grow. I've done that and and I have a few snake plants now (I also gift them). It is said that snake plants have a number of health benefits like
Filter indoor air
Remove toxic pollutants.
May help boost mental health.
Effective against allergies.
I have some indoors (as they do well indoors and outdoor).
Oh! You can make really good mint thins by taking regular ritz crackers and dipping them in mint chocolate meltaways. Yes, I know that sounds ridiculous, but they're flaky and chocolatey and minty and DELICIOUS.
SAMOAS!!!!!!!!!!!! YESSSS
Do you have an office space just for you? The reason why I ask is that it might help you with your planning, keeping records of what you do/have done and in turn help with stress/anxiety. A desk with drawers and over the top of that desk are two 12 month wall planners, one for personal events and cooking days/canning, dehydrating/freeze dry foods. Days where you are making fire lights, salves etc, and the other for planning your garden as to when you need to plant stuff, to harvest, build/maintain fences, maintenance of garden buildings, weeding, pruning etc. You could use that mobile drawer when you are in the kitchen, dining room for what you mentioned. I know for me to have an overall year planner on the wall and a more detailed planner on the desk helps me.
