You can be happy for your partner and share their successes without having to be married. I feel like that’s pretty normal. To feel like a team with the person you are in a relationship with. I don’t think you need to be married in order to feel those things.
Absolutely! I feel like only marriages are praised for being healthy and meaningful. Of course marriage is special, but so is being in a healthy non married relationship!
Have y’all considered moving your bed to the desk wall? That would give you more space for 2 nightstands with lamps on each stand for more lighting. Then the desk and mirror on the wall the bed is on. Just a suggestion to give more space!
I have been struggling with really bad anxiety recently and every time I watch your videos, I feel so calm! Thank you for creating such a calming and positive platform🤍
I sincerely hope it gets better! I think there's a lot of pressure around the holidays to feel 100%, but totally normal to not feel okay. thanks for being here!
your videos put me into the coziest headspace 💌 THANK YOU. just listened to this week's podcast episode, it was such a nice way to help me transition into my holiday break from work!
If you're able to drill into your apartment walls, you should consider doing floating nightstands! I just put some up in. my bedroom because we don't have a lot of space, and I really enjoy them!
I am so happy that I discovered you at the beginning of lockdown. Your videos are so calming and you seem like such a genuine person. It’s so fun to watch this time in your life! 💕
ah so cool to hear you discovered me then! I feel like most of my followers are long-time subscribers, so love to hear when there are some newer people :)
Awww calling your Dad when you had your ankle injury is THE SWEETEST ❤️ God bless you and him and may he always be a source of comfort and reassurance in your life 🌹
I was exactly thinking the same thing about feeling "forced" to watch Christmas movies! I think especially this year the fun just isn't in it anymore :/ But glad to know I'm not the only one haha!
I’m obsessed with Christmas and I love everything about it, but I totally get the forced feeling! I try putting Christmas music on in the background while cleaning or wrapping gifts and only watch movies when I really want to! I never want to do so much Christmas stuff that I don’t feel the joy of the season anymore.
This video made my morning so much better! Today is a very difficult day for me and my family, our dog (who grew up with me) is very sick and suffering a lot and we made the decision to let her go, and my grandpa just got to the hospital. I don't know how to be strong now and stop crying, and watching your videos always helps me to forget about my problems and about the pain. Hope you have an amazing christmas! Love you!
Michelle!! So thankful for you and your sweet soul. Praying for your family Christmas time that you would be so blessed, have time and rest with your family, and find true joy in our Savior. You are such a light!! Blessings
YES!! When you get married when one person achieves and succeeds at something both of you succeed! Love this! 👏🏽👏🏽 y’all are a team! You help each other grow! I just graduated with grad school & my husband has been there for me & celebrated together! & then in June it’ll be his turn to graduate from grad school! Going up together and supporting each other is the goal 👏🏽👏🏽✨❤️
I have a very select few Christmas movies and songs that I truly enjoy, so those are the only ones I watch or listen to this time of year! I’ve definitely done the whole “I have to spend every minute of December on Christmas stuff” but then I just grew so tired of it. Now when I watch or listen to the few Christmas movies and songs that I love, they’re even more special!
Your voice, when you are talking to your family, it’s completely different then when you are recording a video. I don’t know if it’s you or your sister. So funny to pay attention on this. Merry Xmas!!
On the bigger bedroom wall - a woven piece of art would be really cool! Like a more grown up “tapestry” that’s got some texture. I feel like fabric art helps a space feel cozier
I think a minimal gallery wall would be cute! Maybe a picture of you two, a picture of your favorite NYC place or memory and a print that you guys like (maybe y’all’s favorite bible verse?)!
I love Christmas movies but after watching so many in a short amount of time between November and December it gets to a point where I'm ready for other movies.
Definitely agree, I haven't been feeling the Christmas movie vibe this year and don't want to force it, which I think is okay! Excited for more podcast episodes in 2021, they are the highlight of the week. Praying y'all have a safe and joyful Christmas!
omg! I thought I was the only one who wasnt the biggest fan of christmas movies and music. Like Im the biggest fan of christmas itself of course but I feel like consuming christmas content turns the actual christmas day into like a 'trend' or a purely seasonal activity if that makes any sense!!
I would center the bed more and do floating drawers as your night tables and use sconces instead of a floor lamp. The wall next to your bed would be a fine wall to do a simple peel and stick wallpaper
I love how you style the plain black turtlenecks in this video. 3 looks, one piece! Also cool to see how you and your family are working from home. The conference room is a nice idea
yay I love waking up to your videos! And I always look forward to mondays for the podcast ☺️ you’re doing great Michelle! I know you’re kind of in a funk but I absolutely love everything you’ve been creating and how relaxing and enjoyable it is for me. I will be praying that you feel better!! Have a Merry Christmas!
thank you so much Kaylee! really appreciate the encouragement. especially on the podcast love- always especially thankful when people listen to the pod!
This year is the first year I have not been in a Christmas movie mood! I completely agree with what you’re saying haha. There are a few that I LOVE (Love Actually, The Holiday, Polar Express) but I say to just watch whatever & let the Christmas spirit come naturally. 💕 so happy you’re doing well!!
When you go thrifting, check out Antique Co. Mall on the square in McKinney. It is one of the best shops in the metroplex area in my opinion! Also, for bedside tables, if you don’t need drawers, think of alternative options like wooden shipping crates that you can turn on their sides. The place in McKinney has a lot of good things for alternative furniture pieces.
Yes! I love listening to you talk about the "boring" life/adult things that you have to do as a freelancer especially, it's really interesting to hear! For me, since I work a normal corporate job, in a lot of way's it's much simpler because I just go with the company's 401K and use the W2s to track income. Keep it up, Michelle 😊
I feel you on watching the same Christmas movies every year...What I decided to do this year is play a bingo with myself and watch different new Lifetime and Hallmark movies that I haven't seen before to try to get a black out on my bingo board.
So happy to watch this video today! Your videos are everything, wishing you the happiest holiday! First Christmas married, how exciting!!! Enjoy all of it! ✨🎄❤️
i really LOOOOOOOVED christmas movies!!!! i think those clichés are beautiful, I dont feel like im forcing it, christmas movies and music is silly but that's why i love them haha best thing that happens to me every december! 💗🎄🥺
I love the music in your vlogs, it's so calming - ps. if you're bored with Christmas movies but still want something festive trying watching Dash and Lily on Netflix.
I agree with another viewer that sconces and shelves/floating nightstands on each side of the bed would look great! Also feels a bit luxurious and more grownup somehow😂💞
Those who move forward with a happy spirit will find that things will always work out.👋👋👋🔥🔥Every morning, you have a new opportunity to become a happier version of yourself.
My mom LOVES hallmark Christmas movies and all hallmark in general, so I have watched one almost every night since thanksgiving! Honestly, I have started to like them and how they always turn out good and happy! Other than those though I don’t love Christmas movies 😂
Just catching up on the vlogs now because life has totally fallen apart in the past month BUT I totally agree about Christmas movies. Couldn't do it this year so I kind of just watched a couple minutes of some I really loved while my roommates had it on but just couldn't get into it and I figured it was a much better use of my time to not watch them if it was going to just be out of obligation. Also, the past two Christmas seasons have been really hard times of life for me so I haven't been able to listen to any of my normal Christmas music--last year it was a mix of sad Christmas music and indie albums from some Christian artists, and this year it was the same mix of sad Christmas music (with new additions for this year) and then some traditional Christmas hymns or very advent/Christ-centered Christmas songs sung in more traditional ways. Couldn't do like any of the pop lol
Yes I have had to force myself this year! I’m in the same mood for sure but when it was Halloween I started movies like in September with no trouble at all 😂
I think Christmas movies are forced sometimes too! I haven't watched any Christmas movies this Christmas season, but usually I watch one or two per December and spread them out so I'm not seeing the same ones every year.
I like Christmas movies but I make sure I watch most at least once. Then I move onto Hallmark Christmas channel movies. I like playing the vintage Christmas music here on TH-cam too.
wait I totally relate to the Christmas movie thing! also currently wearing my blue 1800-heinous shirt while watching this :) p.s. I miss seeing Jamie!!!!!
Hi Michelle! Do you have a women’s bible study guide that you’d recommend? My friends and I are trying to find one (preferably New Testament), but it’s been a little overwhelming to find a good place to start 😊 Love your videos so much!! Hope you and Aidan have a Merry Christmas 💕
just a lil note that this vlog was recorded before my hair cut! hope you guys enjoy and also hope you're enjoying your holiday week!
27 years old, in a long-term relationship and I still call my dad for everything! I don't know what I would do without my dad. 🥰
You can be happy for your partner and share their successes without having to be married. I feel like that’s pretty normal. To feel like a team with the person you are in a relationship with. I don’t think you need to be married in order to feel those things.
Yeah I think living together checks al the things marriage does (in my opinion 🤍)
I completely agree 💛 non married relationships can be just as meaningful!!
I agree!! I have been with my bf for many years and we know we’re committed snd treat each other as a married couple would 🤍✨
Absolutely! I feel like only marriages are praised for being healthy and meaningful. Of course marriage is special, but so is being in a healthy non married relationship!

I sincerely hope it gets better! I think there's a lot of pressure around the holidays to feel 100%, but totally normal to not feel okay. thanks for being here!
I looove that mindset of sharing each other's success!!! That's how I feel whenever my friends have a win at their jobs
your videos put me into the coziest headspace 💌 THANK YOU. just listened to this week's podcast episode, it was such a nice way to help me transition into my holiday break from work!
thank you for listening to the podcast! I feel a special bond with these listeners so thank you, haha. I hope you have a great break Maddie!
If you're able to drill into your apartment walls, you should consider doing floating nightstands! I just put some up in. my bedroom because we don't have a lot of space, and I really enjoy them!
I've never even heard about these before- we will need to look into them! thank you! sounds awesome
I am so happy that I discovered you at the beginning of lockdown. Your videos are so calming and you seem like such a genuine person. It’s so fun to watch this time in your life! 💕
ah so cool to hear you discovered me then! I feel like most of my followers are long-time subscribers, so love to hear when there are some newer people :)
I love your bedding and bedroom, the colours are sooo calming and serene! I understand the distraction in the living room haha!
Awww calling your Dad when you had your ankle injury is THE SWEETEST ❤️ God bless you and him and may he always be a source of comfort and reassurance in your life 🌹
I was exactly thinking the same thing about feeling "forced" to watch Christmas movies! I think especially this year the fun just isn't in it anymore :/ But glad to know I'm not the only one haha!

oh no! I am so sorry. I can't even imagine losing my dog and dealing with the sadness of your grandpa being in the hospital. praying he gets better!
Michelle!! So thankful for you and your sweet soul. Praying for your family Christmas time that you would be so blessed, have time and rest with your family, and find true joy in our Savior. You are such a light!! Blessings
Your vlogs are so comforting and have really been helping me when I'm anxious. Can't wait to see the apartment tour! ❤

Yes! This!!!!
Hallmark Channel is the best It’s 24 hrs a day until Christmas is over they are so warm-hearted I think you would love that channel it does very well
Really loving the music in your vlogs these past few months! So soothing. I hope your ankle is feeling better!
So much cuteness in one video! Merry Christmas to you, Aiden and your family!💓💛
thanks Sara!!
I'm confused, are you guys not in lockdown over there? Since you're able to see different friends/family and go out to eat and whatnot
Texas isn’t in lockdown right now. Everything is still open, some things are just capped on capacity!
I would center the bed more and do floating drawers as your night tables and use sconces instead of a floor lamp. The wall next to your bed would be a fine wall to do a simple peel and stick wallpaper
Always admire how genuine you are ❤️ such a lovely start to my day. Thank you for always being so true to who you are!!
this is so kind! thank you so much. hope you enjoy your day!!
I love how you style the plain black turtlenecks in this video. 3 looks, one piece! Also cool to see how you and your family are working from home. The conference room is a nice idea
thanks Claudia! they're the best!
The trees outside your living room windows are stunning I love it
yay I love waking up to your videos! And I always look forward to mondays for the podcast ☺️ you’re doing great Michelle! I know you’re kind of in a funk but I absolutely love everything you’ve been creating and how relaxing and enjoyable it is for me. I will be praying that you feel better!! Have a Merry Christmas!
thank you so much Kaylee! really appreciate the encouragement. especially on the podcast love- always especially thankful when people listen to the pod!
Always looking forward to your posts and podcasts!
hi Michelle, I think you should print a good picture of you and Aidan ate the wedding and put on your bedroom wall! It would look pretty!
This year is the first year I have not been in a Christmas movie mood! I completely agree with what you’re saying haha. There are a few that I LOVE (Love Actually, The Holiday, Polar Express) but I say to just watch whatever & let the Christmas spirit come naturally. 💕 so happy you’re doing well!!

Great days in the life blog, Michelle! 2 days to go before Christmas!🎄🎄🎄🎄
2 days! insane!
You look stunning in the vlog’s cover! Love the new hair 💖
thank you so much!
Hope you're feeling better! I couldn't hear what the good news was, but Aidan looked so happy. Congrats to him :D
So excited to see another vlog!! Wishing you and your family Merry Christmas from Spain💞
thanks Brenda! you too!

Best way to start my morning! I hope you’re having a very Merry Christmas season!

haha they're the best! I never vlog with my family anymore so wanted to sneak in a few clips
i really LOOOOOOOVED christmas movies!!!! i think those clichés are beautiful, I dont feel like im forcing it, christmas movies and music is silly but that's why i love them haha best thing that happens to me every december! 💗🎄🥺
Good morning Michelle, hope you are having a great day, love your videos and podcast they just make my day💕

I love the music in your vlogs, it's so calming - ps. if you're bored with Christmas movies but still want something festive trying watching Dash and Lily on Netflix.
Your videos and podcasts really calm my anxiety! Thank you for posting and Merry Christmas Michelle😌✨!!

Happy holidays, Michelle! Wishing you and your family to be all healthy and loved! Your haircut is great by the way! 🌲
thanks friend!
This video and every other video gives me peace and happiness thanks Michelle and Merry Christmas ahead😊❤️😊
I agree with another viewer that sconces and shelves/floating nightstands on each side of the bed would look great! Also feels a bit luxurious and more grownup somehow😂💞
Aww I love your family...looks like so much fun over there ❤️
Lovely video Michelle!! ❤️✨Lots of love from a subscriber from Chile!🇨🇱😊
so cool to know someone's watching from Chile! hope you enjoy the video :)
Those who move forward with a happy spirit will find that things will always work out.👋👋👋🔥🔥Every morning, you have a new opportunity to become a happier version of yourself.
I thought I was alone about feeling forced to watch Christmas movies! We can both be Scrooges 😂 Have a merry Christmas!
haha I felt bad saying it but it's true! merry Christmas to you too!
I hope you and Aidan have a wonderful Christmas :)
you too Emily!
what if you switch your bed around and put it to the back wall where the desk is
that way you’ll have that whole wall and have more room on each side
My mom LOVES hallmark Christmas movies and all hallmark in general, so I have watched one almost every night since thanksgiving! Honestly, I have started to like them and how they always turn out good and happy! Other than those though I don’t love Christmas movies 😂
Merry Christmas to you and Aidan! I love your videos.
thank you so much!
When you were on the phone with your dad and put that you were 5.... I relate so much 😂 I just feel so much better when I call my parents though LOL
I completely agree with the Christmas movie comment haha! Merry Christmas! 🎄
i love Christmas movies but this year i have felt that i have to force myself to watch them all rather than wanting to haha!
I feel the same about Christmas movies! I have a few that I love and will rewatch but that's it!
So excited for this!! Merry Christmas to you and your family Michelle!! 💕
ah, thanks Admir!
@@michellereedg You’re welcome!! ☺️

thank you Maria!
My favorite videos!! Hope you have a great day Michelle!
thanks Ivanka!
I'm the same way with Christmas movies haha! Totally get it
I definitely half force myself to watch the movies! And I force myself to only listen to Christmas music in December so by the end I’m so done 😂
I literally cannot wait for Christmas each year just to watch Christmas movies! Haha 😁👏🏻❤️
Yes I have had to force myself this year! I’m in the same mood for sure but when it was Halloween I started movies like in September with no trouble at all 😂

p.s. I miss seeing Jamie!!!!!
Same!, I actually made a bucket list for Christmas movies this year and I ended up not finishing it. We’re getting older I think :(
Do you remember what the boutique in Williamsburg was called?! I love the dress!! 😍
Maybe you can add your favorite wedding picture, put in it a frame or on a canvas, and put it in your bedroom!
When Jamie said this is my boyfriend, I felt that hahaha.
Merry Christmas, Michelle!
Frankie is the cutesttt
i always call my parents too even though i am 21 😂😂
Can we get a tech update? What tech you’re using to film with? Even if it’s just mentioned in the description?
This made my day! ☀️💛
Hi Michelle! Do you have a women’s bible study guide that you’d recommend? My friends and I are trying to find one (preferably New Testament), but it’s been a little overwhelming to find a good place to start 😊
Love your videos so much!! Hope you and Aidan have a Merry Christmas 💕
lol I have sprained my ankle two times by missing a step and falling down the stairs!
Please do another what i eat in a day video! Your food looks always so yummy😅😍 lots of love from Germany!
yes I thought it was time for another one! maybe in the new year when I clean up my eating again, haha
@@michellereedg haha 😅 i also would love to see your cheat-version as well!
Wow I'm here early! Hi Michelle - happy holidays from Brooklyn
ah hope you're enjoying your week as well!
We are not allowed to eat inside I guess there in Texas you can. Your Governor didn’t close indoor dining. Here in PA it’s only takeout
That’s the way it should be. We are getting 1/4 of a million new cases a day and people are still continuing as normal.
Merry Christmas! 🎄
you too Stephanie!
Have merry Christmas Michelle
Where is your jewelry from
How can you eat indoors Here indoor seating is closed
Restaurants still can have indoor dining in the city of Dallas, if it is smart, responsible, or recommend is another thing
What are the music you played in this video?? I kept on trying to search bits of the lyrics but still couldn’t find them :(
How does a subscriber get you on their podcast?
