Hi Kate, love that you are back, I've been watching for years. I would love if you would sit down and do a story time about your friend and her other friend who were frugal and she went to college with a young daughter and then ended up getting a job at the college that was so inspirational. Also the one about the gal with the big t-shirts and earrings. I adore those stories as they are real life tales of women who lived life on less and made it work!
I love those stories too because they keep me inspired and I actually retold them in my book a feast of life. I think I talked a little bit about it in one of these Vlogs that’s coming up scheduled, but I’m not sure so guess what I’m gonna do a video right now and I’ll post it in August.
I loved Connie Hultquist too. Her writings when she wasn’t on a rant were so sweet and touching. I loved the ones she did about Ruby. I shed some tears when she died, and I still read and reread her books and go on the Wayback Machine to read her letters on Happy Housewifery. She really loved her sweet old fashioned home.
I love that you brought him up as an example. He is an example of such compassion and kindness, thank you. I can only hope and work to aspire to that level.
Mr. Rogers is a Christian hero of the faith. He was a wonderful man. Look into his life. How wonderful. He lead many to Jesus and stood strong in the Word of God. ❤
Love my "CoffeeWithKate" time. Thank you for sharing with us, Kate. Why is it an easy and certainly a very calming experience whenever I have a visit with you? I'm definitely not going to complain about it🤗.
Well, I purposely make sure I make each video positive and uplifting. We need that. I keep my rants and judgments to myself to work out on my own. I want this to be a happy, peaceful, safe space for all of us. I'm glad to hear it's working.🥰
So nice to do house tasks while listening to you 😃🧹🪣I like the sitting and talking parts too. Enjoy the stream of consciousness. The yard/garden is looking great, hopefully you will have lots of homegrown veggies and fruits this summer!
I like this vlog where you're doing different things around the house, giving updates, cleaning, planting, cooking, showing what you bought, etc... fun!
How fun that you were all getting ready to celebrate 🎊 a birthday and you were prepping for it. I totally get being excited for not having to bake a cake 🎂 or to have to cook too much. I cook everything from scratch too and for my dad's birthday I just did myself a favor and got a box cake to make instead. Wow, I'm really impressed with that woman Connie. She was really ahead of her times. I could totally get past the religious aspect and anti feminism . think I'll have to check her book out at the library. She was a real survivor and had major tenacity. Very impressive.
I love your vlogs. I have been watching for a few years and have read almost all of your books, including some fiction books. I spent way too much time chasing everything I thought would bring me peace. Then I got to a point where I had to strip everything down to bare necessities. It was humbling, but in the humility, I found immense peace. I now focus on family, my pigs, ducks, chickens, dogs, cats and a very part-time job at the convenience store across the street from me. ☺️
Really love your living room vibe especially out of all of your lovely home; the rug, the crochet throw on the sofa and the thriving houseplants- just so very cosy and homely. 🥰
I totally get you on getting to a point where even though I am older, I'm 62 I raised my children I was a wife before my husband passed away. I was so busy being a mother /wife / caretaker.. I cared about my appearance more before my husband got really ill. I recently started therapy and I'm learning to care more again about looking extra nice. I used to be OCD about an Immaculate home. Now I concentrate on a certain two rooms in my house which takes me about the same time as you, 2 hours Monday through Friday. It's only me now so I only do an average of three loads of laundry a week. This way I get to enjoy my three and, sometimes 4 year old grandsons on my weekends.. I feel good that Nana's house is always clean for them and good food❤
I appreciate you following up on Connie Hultquist, wish we knew when she passed over. Your garden is looking good, I also LOVE to spend a day working in the yard/garden.
Oh Kate what a wonderful day I am having!!! I too have been working in my yard/garden. It’s a beautiful HOT day in TN. I’m taking water breaks with lemon sooooo yummy! When I finished I jumped into the pool and looked at the work I had done👍😎. I love love love this video. Reminds me of how I loved spending my days with you during The big C! I can’t say it. Did that really happen?????? Seems like a dream. Your yard is glorious , your house is so cute and cozy. Have a great day. ❤🎉😊😅
The best fish tacos here in Puerto Rico 🇵🇷 with coleslaw, a mayo and catsup sauce and breaded shrimps or breaded fish, sooo good 👍🏻 you could add some garlic to the sauce and a little of vinegar and hot sauce
oh Kate. u got this right on the packaged stuff. i have so much packaged stuff from the food pantry. rice a roni and knorrs packaged foods, and hamburger helper. Well i have to say it sure helps me on busy days to toss together something tasty. Better than us eating out. This morning i made homemade biscuits,scrambled eggs with cheese and bacon...gar was so delighted. i love how your garden is all tilled up and all is planted there. ours is raised beds. have a lovely day!
Always a pleasure watching you. Thank you so much for sharing ❤ it’s like I’m having a coffee ☕️ with an old friend. See you Thursday 😊 enjoy your week
I love your pioneer woman slow cooker- its so cute and colourful! I know what you mean about not really being into cleaning right now. I have phases where I'm on it 100%, but other times I'm doing the bare minimum! Right now I'm more focused on my writing- which is of course a lot more fun!
Hi Kate! I just read your May vlog entry. I too changed my diet to finally lose weight and keep it off. There is one youtuber I just found, her channel is called "Lulu's Way". Half her channel is about how she lost weight and what she eats. She weighs her food and is mostly plant based. She has a plan figured out about what to eat each meal that works for her. I don't weigh my food portions but I do like her energy. Thank you for your recommendation of youtuber "The Cozy Creative". I just love her! She's authentic and made a simple and satisfying life that works. And wonderful quote by Jim Carey.
@@CoffeeWithKate4 girl… and I keep telling my husband… don’t you let me die out here ok! 😂 life is beautiful no matter where you are. I can grow you a mean prickly pear in these parts. Keep spreading the joy. We’re here for the long haul.
The cleaning motivation from this video is perfectly timed! ❤️ I also love The Dear Kitchen Saints book, so inspiring! I believe you sent me your book actually and then recorded it because you missed it? 🤣 It was a few years ago so my memory could be mistaken. Anyways! Loving the Vlogs! 🥰
Kate nothing wrong with having ice water! Sounds very refreshing to me. I often add a lemon wedge, lime wedge, or even mandarin wedges to mine. I got the little ice cube tray like you have and I fill my cup (also like yours… from the thrift store/brand name but only $3!), up in the am and it lasts me all day. I actually had a real sugar Pepsi a couple of weeks ago and haven’t had any since! It made me nauseous. Sugar overload. Just water, coffee, and iced tea for me 99% of the time. Your yard and porch looks great! Happy Belated Mother’s Day! And Happy Belated birthday to Sam. Hello from SC😊🥵
There is one letter where she talks about jim worried what she would do when he would be gone and she would say, just pay the house off and I will figure it out (or something along those lines) and he did! He had it paid off for her, so far as I remember 😊
Good Morning Kate ! What is Indian fries ? Your garden is beautiful! I watch and comment as I watch 😂y allergies are awful it's nearly handicap!!!! Neetles is what I take but April and May I need something stronger ! You have a wonderful Sunday afternoon 😊
@@CoffeeWithKate4 It’s sad. The blog is not what it used to be and only has a handful of writings. So disappointed to see that. There used to be tons plus Ruby Writings as well. All gone it looks like.
Her blog is newer, run by Sharon White of Legacy of Home. There was an older blog that had more but another member helped run that one called Happy Housewifery. I can't find it so I guess it's gone. For a time I helped Connie with a FB page but that got passed on to someone else and I don't think it exists now either....it may have just morphed into the newer blog. The bulk of her writing were on her old yahoo group Hidden Wisdom. She also had a more private one called, I think, Virtuous Sisters. Yahoo closed their groups- stopped offering groups,...it was such a loss. I hope her family downloaded her archives. She has soooo many writings...like thousands. Her blog doesn't even scratch the surface....

This is the nicest show. Don't underestimate the power of peace and order. Remember Mr. Roger's Neighborhood brought solace to many.

The hard work done by you and Bali has paid off! Your yard and garden and trees are looking green, healthy and lush.
Really love your living room vibe especially out of all of your lovely home; the rug, the crochet throw on the sofa and the thriving houseplants- just so very cosy and homely. 🥰
Thank you ❤️
I like you talking and doing stuff so much more than when your sitting in office. It makes it interesting and inspires me to clean house..lol

It was Nov 18, 2021 - her obituary is online
Hi Kate…. I’m cuddled in my blanket on my couch watching you on this rainy Sunday evening ✨
Rain? WOW what state?
@@CoffeeWithKate4 Western New York…. The heat wave finally broke!!! We had a cold front come through & The temperatures are way more comfortable! 💃
Oh Kate what a wonderful day I am having!!! I too have been working in my yard/garden. It’s a beautiful HOT day in TN. I’m taking water breaks with lemon sooooo yummy!

Wonderful! The videos going forward will be like this. Busy and talking.
I love to see you working and talking😊...glad we could clean together!💪🏼👍🏻😁
People enjoy that, I do too when I watch other vlogs. The future videos are more like this.
This has to be one of my favorite videos ever! And I've been watching you for years. You motivate me watching you clean...😊 Thank you - great vlog!!🌷
Wow, thank you! The vlogs going forward are pretty much like this. I was hoping they would be fun and inspiring.
When you do these types of videos, I always feel so happy. Your floors look shiny clean.
Glad you like them!
Wow after watching you clean for awhile,I tackled my house and whipped it in to shape

I also like Lulu’s Way. She also does little dances which makes you 😃
@@kimd.7846 Well, now I have to check her channel out.
I thought that was funny when you said “nuts love hot weather” because I must be a nut to live in the Mohave Desert! 😅
Lol, now that is funny. And the Mohave Desert….that is crazy too.

Really enjoyed this video today!
So glad!
The cleaning motivation from this video is perfectly timed! ❤️
I also love The Dear Kitchen Saints book, so inspiring! I believe you sent me your book actually and then recorded it because you missed it? 🤣 It was a few years ago so my memory could be mistaken.
Anyways! Loving the Vlogs! 🥰
I gave it away a few times, won't do that anymore because I always want to go back and read the jewels of advice.
So many chores to do and I don’t wanna do any of them. 😭 I wanna be like Molly. Belly up knocked out on the couch. Have a lovely week.💐
Me too!
Kate nothing wrong with having ice water! Sounds very refreshing to me. I often add a lemon wedge, lime wedge, or even mandarin wedges to mine.

I actually had a real sugar Pepsi a couple of weeks ago and haven’t had any since! It made me nauseous.
Sugar overload.
Just water, coffee, and iced tea for me 99% of the time.
Your yard and porch looks great!
Happy Belated Mother’s Day! And Happy Belated birthday to Sam.
Hello from SC😊🥵
Thank you! I only drink that ice water and I love it.
There is one letter where she talks about jim worried what she would do when he would be gone and she would say, just pay the house off and I will figure it out (or something along those lines) and he did! He had it paid off for her, so far as I remember 😊
He did and had money saved. I believe she babysat for income in her later years.
Hello happy Sunday love the video. Take Care.❤
Thank you! You too!
Hola, thank you ❤
Great video
Glad you enjoyed it.
Good Morning Kate !
What is Indian fries ? Your garden is beautiful! I watch and comment as I watch 😂y allergies are awful it's nearly handicap!!!! Neetles is what I take but April and May I need something stronger !
You have a wonderful Sunday afternoon 😊
Good morning! Indian fries? I would have to go back and watch.
@@CoffeeWithKate4you mentioned that Sam made Indian French fries.
@@JennyOSunshine@JennyOSunshine Ah, well, maybe he put the masala on them; I can't remember.
I always love when you talk about books. Where are Connie's books available?
Is there a way to message you directly? Sorry. New to following channels.
Just message me here. You can find her books on Amazon. Thank you for joining us!
@CoffeeWithKate4 thank you! I have a list of the books you talk about and where to find them. 😊
Kate where are your other dogs? Miss them.
I’m sorry, they both passed. They were pretty old and Babu declined fast after Clyde was gone.
According to Google, $200 in 1973 is the equivalent of $1400 today.
I thought I remembered Connie’s house being rent to own if I’m not mistaken.
That would explain it. I read every single thing on her blog and her two books and can't find it.
@@CoffeeWithKate4 It’s sad. The blog is not what it used to be and only has a handful of writings. So disappointed to see that. There used to be tons plus Ruby Writings as well. All gone it looks like.
