    You are such a good Mama! No one ever explained why or why not I should or should not do anything. You were so kind to Benjamin to explain why you wanted him to move the potatoes back instead of screaming BECAUSE I SAID SO!
    I sincerely appreciate your parenting skills!☮️💖🙏✌️

    Today's my birthday, I'm away from my grandchildren and I am missing them terribly. Decided I would watch GA, have a cup of coffee with Laura and spruce my mood. Well, wouldn't you know today's video had sweet little Benjamin in it and I'm telling you I literally “laughed out loud!!” When Laura asked how he would keep her from stepping on the sweet potatoes and he threw his arms open and said, “like this,” as to block her path and then said, “stop, stop, stop!” I couldn't help myself! It was the cutest most perfect little boy moment ever! Made my morning and gentled my sadness a bit. Thank you Benjamin for brightening this grandma's birthday. Thank you Laura and Aaron for being kind and sharing your lives with us! You bring joy in more ways than you know. God Bless you all. ~Lisa

    The chaise lounge can be pushed to the wall and used as a comfy seating bench. Place pillows to the back on the lounge to make it a pretty supportive mini sofa. Voila! The wonky lamp needs new hardware/ maybe a new shade. Also, if you place the chaise lounge against the far window wall (if it fits or center it on another wall) then arrange the green metal chairs on either side, it will make a good conversational area. Then arrange the plants. Place the round table in front of the lounge for drinks/snack books, etc. One more suggestion: that pillar table is beautiful and could be place on the far window wall, while the lounge is against the house window wall. Seeing the pillar table on the far wall will be an exceptional picturesque place for the plants to adorn it. More voila!!

    Great watching you and Benjamin discuss the moving of the potatoes. Great parenting. Teaching children to analyze and decide why and why not to do something helps them in the future to make more important decisions. So much better parenting than " because I said so " It is quicker to say that but it is not a teaching or a learning experience for the child. Discussion is good not just an "I told you so" Discussion is so much harder parenting. I still noticed though that you had the last word and took control when it was time for him to make a decision. It shows you are willing to discuss with him why you are asking this of him., but ultimately you need him to do what you asked. Keep up the great work. Tab Kerwin

    genius to place the pot of the one to be planted into the new pot and place the filler dirt in! I'm lousy at repotting up plants and make such a mess, thank you for the hack !

    That lamp in sunroom. Sounds like to me, we could use another mom/daughter antiquing day. I love you and your moms relationship. I lost my mom and I live for these videos with my morning coffee GA time. Reminds me of the love of family that we all should treasure. ❤️

    Hi Laura! Might not be related to this video but I just want you to know that I've been binge-watching your mail time and holiday gift guide videos which are very helpful for gift ideas this coming Christmas. Is there any possibility that you will have any holiday gift guide videos this year? Thank you!

    Hilariously Benjamin is trying to defend his postion regarding his own view arrangement of the sweet potatoes. I am sure he will be a great lawyer if he choose to be.
    In my opinion the sunny porch becomes the most cosy part of the house in winter, and since there is enough space, I would expand it by double or triple the size to fit all family besides more plants and can be accessed from inside home by replacing the existing window by a sliding glass door. You will get more space and definitely more sun light to inside your home.

    This might be my favorite of your videos for autumn. I am in the process of potting houseplants as well. Your sun porch is a dream - the perfect place for plants and daydreaming! I understand your desire to have less clutter. I feel the same way - needing less distraction and more serenity. I hope Benjamin's plants thrive. He puts such care and heart into his little projects.

    When you say “ ...once a week watering schedule...” is that 1) put in the sink and water until it is draining out the bottom, or 2) add 1/2 cup water to top, or 3) add 1cup water to top. Inquiring minds want to know! 😊 Thank you for all of the wonderful knowledge and information you impart every day. I started watching you when COVID hit, and because of your enthusiasm and inspiration, I designed a small garden space around my patio, tackled growing seeds indoors with grow light and winter seed sowing. My husband was AMAZED! Next lesson...don’t buy every plant you love!

    Benjamin is beginning to garden, so cool! Love it! I am so happy to let him do it. Let him do it and you fix it afterwards when he goes inside. I didn't have patience and I am so sorry! Such a joy seeing mother and son working together! Hugs🤗💜🤗

    Your sun porch would be good for a little comfy framed swing of some sort. I know so many can be sort of tacky, but wouldn’t it be nice to cuddle your babes, looking at that scenery and sway too and fro? Sounds peaceful.
