Good Afternoon from Michigan!!!!!! It’s rainy and a little chilly here!! So this is such a perfect video to watch while starting to prep dinner!!!!♥️♥️♥️♥️🥰
My day has been good so far and its only 10:30 am. I just finished an analysis essay, I added a few things in my planner for this week. I finally can watch your video. I am on a quick 30 minute break. I can watch and de-stress, so that I can get to work again on some more assignments after the video.
The little bell pepper's name can be "Pepper Jack". Get it? Because it's a pepper and a jack-o-lantern lol. Im such a geek 😂🤦🏾♀. They're so freaking cute😄.
I know I’ve told you before...but you’re absolutely my FAVORITE person on TH-cam! Your realness and transparency is truly inspiring. You and your family are awesome!
It's wonderful that you admitted that no household is perfect (btw, love your videos). There are people literally making themselves sick trying to achieve the so-called 'perfect' home/life. Sometimes you just need to put those dirty dishes aside for a moment and snuggle with your kids. They grow up so fast. 😭
Evelyn Cortez Omgsh yesss! I’ve been letting things go so much more lately to spend more time doing the things that are so important like that! And I have been guilty of trying to live a perfect life I see on social media too, and I just have to remind myself, it’s not real. I can add new things to our life and get inspired, but perfection is not attainable by anyone
Your realness is one of the reasons I keep coming back to watch your videos. You are never fake and nothing is ever staged with you. Like the others have said, you're so relatable. I love your channel and will continue to be a subscriber for as long as you're here.
Thank you so much for “exposing” yourself! My couch is gross, I have two small kids, cats and dogs so keeping it stain free is almost impossible. I always feel like I just can’t keep up because everyone else seems to be able to keep their couches clean so it really made me smile to see that I’m not alone.
This is so fun! I have such fond memories of decorating for Halloween with my family, my mom really gets into holidays and loves to decorate for them. :) You are such a great mom bringing all the fun to your kids! I know they will remember it forever!
Amanda, I loved this video-the real life messes, omg the halo/oranges are my fav, cooking with each one if the boys and seeing their love for it (brings back so many fun memories for me) and watch out for Luke cause he is ready to take over Mom’s channel!!! Loved loved loved this video!!! Oh continued prayers for Kyle’s dad!!
Everything you do turns out so cute and fun! I would name the other pepper Frank or Frankie. We decorate for Halloween every year🎃And every year is decorated differently. The theme for this year is magic, spells and potions🔮We make all of the spells and potions. It is so much fun! Thank you for sharing✌💛☺
I love your channel so much!! I'm not even a mom or a wife. I'm all the way in South Africa, currently in University. I just love your energy and how real you are.
Thanks for keeping it real. I will give myself some grace and remember how lucky we are. So many are still out of work these days, utilities turn off or worst have lost their homes. We are so lucky and a little thing like going to a restaurant and having to eat outside don’t really matter. Pray for us all
Omg this literally was one of my favorite videos of yours! Your home looks soooo cute with the Halloween decor! Your boys are the absolute sweetest and cutest! You and Kyle truly are amazing parents and it truly shows! Btw, ALL the recipes looks AMAZING! 🎃👻
Your idea for orange decorations is a bull's eye. They are so cute and so scary 😉 at the same time. I'm stealing it. 😁 And pumpkin oat cookies - they look delicious. I will certainly do them. Greetings from Poland 🇵🇱😘
When the boys walked in and their excitement seeing Halloween 🎃 came to their house was fun. You did booooo scary stuff! I love it all. All you need is a monster size spider crawling up your steps. 🕸🕷🦇🐌. YOU had a great time doing all this. Food ideas...amazing. ❤️
I really like you are real about things in your home 🏡 that no home is perfect and its nice to know people are honest and true 😊 about things not just show look how perfect I'm and my home lest be upfront no home or anyone or thing in Perfect... thanks again showing the true thing in your home like your floors.
amanda, you have no idea how much these videos help me. you are a huge inspo to me. from mom to cleaner to business woman to home owner just everything. you inspire me so much ❤️
I love how they were telling you “look!” As if you haven’t seen the stuff already or decorate it yourself😂😂😂😂 I love it. Looks amazing. I love Halloween. Great job❤️
Your boys reactions are so priceless!! They are the sweetest boys. It touches my heart when children are so grateful for all the things you do for them. So sweet. I love your Halloween decorations. I have a smaller home and mine always seem to be too much in a small space. Wish I had more space to spread them out.
Thank you for being real. I had to stop watching some people cause I started feeling bad. I started people and they were real house wife’s and moms and now they wear dresses to clean and their world seems so perfect. I love your honesty.
The small things us moms mom for our kids. They never fully know the effort until they have little ones of their own. I just found your video and loved it.
This is why I love 💕 your channel!!!always showing that life is not perfect and sometimes is not what it looks like thanks for sharing those real life moments that’s is what makes the difference!!!
Once again you keep it real by showing the up close messes! Thank you so much for doing this, makes me feel like I am not totally failing at keeping my house clean! 😘❤️
Long-time viewer, first-time commenter (?); I really appreciate you showing your 'real life' moments, they make me feel less like I need to have my sh*it together all the time! Thank you for sharing your life with all of us and for being so honest about how you don't need to be perfect. And, I'm excited to try a recent recipe you shared but veganized. 💕💕
I adore you especially in this video. You are so real, true & honest about life. The witch hat was so cute and truly put a smile on my face. I envy you and your mommy ability to share with your boys cooking techniques and being in the kitchen together to bond. Luv you girl
I have never decorated for Halloween other than a few Jack-O-Lanterns, but feeling inspired. Everything looks ghoulishly great! (If you have any spider web left, it would look cool on the mirror.) Bonus points for the black & orange cats!
Thank you so much for being SO real...I really needed to see and hear all you had to say in that regard! ❤️ LOVE how everything turned out...what a great mama you are to those sweet boys of yours. 💙
What made the most difference for me to know your channel and stay was to see the love and affection you have with your dogs and cats, because I love animals and then of course I love organization and cleaning! congratulations!😘😘🇧🇷😻🐶
Love this! Your boys’ reactions to the decorations were so sweet!!! You can tell they really love and appreciate the special things you do around your home ❤️
I love you! Thank for sharing the real life moments!!! Sometimes watching these videos can get ya down because everything is so "perfect" in other peoples homes. I love how real you are!! And YAY on the Halloween decorating!! I go all out every year, and walk the fine line of cute with a touch of spooky.
Our favorite scent is pumpkin spice anything this time of year! The kittens grow up so quick! So sweet of you all to take care of Hank while his dad recovers. Praying for a quick recovery!
Thank you for beingso real and down to earth! You and another TH-camr named Brittany Vasseur are so real and relatable that I feel as a friend is making these videos. We all appreciate it very much!🤗💕
Hi, from Canada. I love to decorate for Halloween. My mom loved Halloween, she passed away last September. When my sister and I were growing up we didn't have alot of money. We would decorate with homemade decorations. Ever since my daughter was young, I made sure she had a great Halloween. One Easter I dressed up like the Easter Bunny. These special occasions mean more now in these uncertain times. Happy Halloween everyone!!
Thank you for being so generous and selfless and for letting us know where you find cool things for the home! Sometimes we don't even know they existed!😊 My favorite Fall scents are WHITE PUMPKIN and CINNAMON. GOD bless!🍂
We’re also decorating for Halloween indoors for the first time this year! Your decor is always so tastefully done, so inspiring. I always look forward to your videos ❤️
This was such a fun video, it put me in good mood (was feeling a bit down lately), so thank you so much for cheering me up. 🥰 I love how you involve the kids in to cooking, I bet they won’t feel it a chore when they will be grown-ups. Missed seeing Emma in your videos, it was so good to see her lovely face and Hank’s too. 🐶😍💕
Productive day got to tackle a few things. Loved the video again. And your bit about your home. You are so honest and real Thank-you 😊. Loved seeing Emma too and Hank. Glad Kyle's dad is doing well too 🥰
I have to tell you when your boys came in and got so excited about the decorations took me back to when my boys were little !! I decorated every year for Halloween and they have always loved it !! This video brought back good memories ❤️ it came out great
This was such a great video! You’re just so really with your house and not just showing how “perfect” it is. Love the cooking part as well. Great job, love your videos.
So happy you enjoy those real life moments! I feel like social media can get out of hand with comparison etc, so I feel it’s so necessary to share these real moments!💕

No need to subscribe 🤣because I already have been 😁😁
How have you been Amanda?
Hello from South Texas friend. We are doing well..starting the week off right on zoom..😊 i love your videos they motivate me so much.
The little bell pepper's name can be "Pepper Jack". Get it? Because it's a pepper and a jack-o-lantern lol. Im such a geek 😂🤦🏾♀. They're so freaking cute😄.
Cute!!!
I was going to post a name, but I bow to a master. Jack is perfect! :)
I love that name for the 4th pepper. Too stinking cute.
Too cute! I think you have a winner🎃
I 1000% agree that being real & relatable is so important, especially towards uplifting other women and encouraging both confidence and grace! 😍
Thank you!!
Loving Life as Megan so thankful for you!!♥️♥️♥️ you’re amazing!
Loving life as Mega, I agree! 💕
You’re both STELLAR at this!! Two of my absolute favorite channels and women to follow ❤️
I love how they say “mom look at this!” like you didn’t just decorate everything yourself hahaha kids are so funny
😂😂😂
Its nice when they appreciate the decorating. My son who's in high school now always tells me how nice the house looks for holidays.
Vicki Vaeth that is so sweet!! He sounds amazing!!♥️
I know I’ve told you before...but you’re absolutely my FAVORITE person on TH-cam! Your realness and transparency is truly inspiring. You and your family are awesome!
Aw thank you so much!!
I truly appreciate the realness. Keeping up with the house is so daunting sometimes. Good to be reminded no one is perfect.
Needed the uplifting. Some other cleaning TH-camrs make you feel inadequate as a stay at home mom. I love how you are real.
Finally having a chance to come back and finish this and omg Noah is the sweetest! 😍
Omg those jack-o-lantern stuffed peppers 😍

I honestly don't like decorating for Halloween, but after watching this I just might. I love how it's not scary and it's more enjoyable.
That was my thing with it, I don’t like the gory, creepy stuff, but this was so fun! I’m happy I was able to keep it light hearted & fun! 👻
Thanks for being so down to earth and real! You had some great helpers with you in the kitchen!
