Oh Hilary, you are such a good mama! I would have run screaming in the other direction, I am terrified of all snakes! I love your videos, they always make me smile, even if there’s a snake visiting ☺️
What a great day!! Even with the set backs. Lots of productivity, a delicious meal with biscuits and the fun surprise of the kiddos catching a snake!! They sounded so proud and blessed how Mom and Dad reacted❤️
I just love your vlogtober videos. I've left things at Walmart and had to go get it. Also they forgot to put a bag of groceries in my things at pickup. Jude is so cute waving his hands and feet wanting dinner which looks delicious. Sometimes tell Luke not to let you forget something important and kids can surprise you. He seems very helpful. Take care. 🧡🦊🧡🌻
I'm with you on early Christmas shopping! I happily bought 2 things for our son-in-law already because I happened to learn of 2 things he had mentioned that he really liked and he is sometimes hard to buy for. They are in a box in the basement as the start to things I'll be gathering for my loved ones in the days and weeks to come. If I'm finished shopping by Thanksgiving, that will make my December a leisurely season of wrapping gifts, celebrating Advent, attending holiday events, etc.
Say yes to early Christmas shopping! Since my kids were little, I tried to get most of the presents by early November. Merchandise is already in the stores and staff aren't exhausted yet. it saves so much time and energy, which I never seemed to have enough of. After Thanksgiving, I was then able to do a bit of baking, decorating, family activities.
When my children were little (All now in their 40's) I had my Christmas Shopping done by Mid-October. It was always such a stress free Holiday season because of this.
Good Morning, Hilary! What a darling vlog!! You are the cutest!! Also, I received your book and wrote a review! Oh my goodness!! I LOOVE it so much!!! I actually hugged it and I'm 57, hahaha!!!! I hope your weekend goes really well and I look forward to sharing my coffee with you again tomorrow morning!! Love, Kellie
Should the Lord terry one day your kids and grandchildren will look at these videos and see how much you're really poured into making their lives and their memories so blessed.
The Walmart order situation was a blessing in disguise. You then got some new Christmas ornaments and the boys probably loved all of the seasonal decor and getting out. You are not crazy. Christmas will be here soon. I like getting my shopping done early too so you are not alone. I was pausing the video to type comments and asked about the t.p. but you answered that. I am glad it worked out and you got to treat yourself to another coffee. Soup is always a good choice. You are always so productive and you have pretty handwriting btw!
I love how you do a great job with disappointments. I appreciate you sharing the verse that helps keep 😊a heavenly perspective on changes that come our way. ☺️
Loved seeing Luke and Jude outside playing. They're both getting so big. You are a brave mom with the snake. I don't like any kind of snakes at all and either do my kids. Great vlog as always!
Hilary, I just love love love your bathroom. The finishes, paint color, shower curtain.... everything about it. You did such a great job on it. I keep meaning to tell you each time you video cleaning it lol.
Oh no, a snake! ha ha Those children are so fun. I would not be calm with that sized snake. You are amazing!! Thanks again for your very precious time used to make these videos. So much fun for an old granny to watch! Love it. 🧓🐍💙
Always a joy getting to hang out with you everyday during Vlogtober. I left a bag with a deeply discounted Christmas decor item at Target’s self checkout last year. They later refunded me, but am still annoyed at myself for it! Fun to hear Luke’s comments. That will be Jude before you know it. 🍁🍂🍁🍂🍁
Loving watching your vlogs Hilary!! We have the same Keurig and if you push the 8oz and the 12oz together at the same time it will enter descaling mode. I followed a youtube video but you put in 14oz of vinegar and 14oz of water in the reservoir, push the K button each time it flashes until the reservoir is empty then clean out the reservoir and fill with water never shutting off or lifting the lid the light will still be flashing run all the water thru and after that is empty the machine should shut off and be out of the descaling mode. Hope this helps!!
Glad you got your TP that was left behind. I think it's a great time to start getting Christmas gifts. Who wants to be running around in December and I remember you ordering monogrammed robes for the kiddos - they take a little time. Great video! God bless you and yours.
We have 11 grandkids and buy presents between Christmas and New Year for the following Christmas. There are a lot of end of year sales, so it is a little cheaper....but the trick is NOT to lose the master list. LOL
I'm glad you got your Keurig going. No fun not having coffee in the morning. I also put cinnamon in my coffee but I grade a little nutmeg in there just a tiny bit makes it super delicious! You may want to try that I remember that you have a lot of whole nutmeg pods that you bought a long time ago now they're kind of pricey Starbucks uses that little trick as well. It's good that you called Walmart about the toilet paper it costs a small fortune nowadays!😆
I'm glad you called about that toilet paper, drives me nuts when I forget something like that! Lol, that garter snake was thinking he'd have a nice sunbath after days of rain and then the kids discovered him~ bet he was happy to be released back to the big outdoors. I love finding snakes around our property they really help with rodent control. Whew, it was nice to see the sun again on Thursday, that rain was making me feel a little gloomy. Dinner looked good, have a great weekend!
No way are you crazy. I started Christmas shopping in April. I do a little each month because that is easier for me. I’m almost done except for treats that I won’t buy until November and a few advent calendar items.
Your videos are so encouraging and like visiting with a sweet friend.❤I am starting to think about Christmas gifts, too!!! I am a relatively new subscriber and didn’t know about your Christmas Planner until yesterday’s vlog- can’t wait to order one for my sis and for me!👏👏Blessings on you!
I LOVE the kids found a snake. Sounds like my brother and I when we were growing up! Of course, where we lived we had to watch out for copperheads and cottonmouths, lol. I hope you get your Christmas shopping done soon. I started this summer for the 4 grands. Prices are going up weekly and there is just no reason to wait. It's terrible. Love your planner. I bought it the minute you announced it and I will leave a review on Amazon. God bless and have a wonderful weekend. xoxTX
I'm so glad you were able to get the TP that you had purchased. I love having a freshly cleaned bathroom. I'm glad the rain lifted and the kids were able to play outside. It's still raining here. Although we need the rain, I miss the sun.
I had a "remember when" you mentioned deep cleaning the bathroom and within minutes little ones will be in with dirt and leaves. What I wished was noticed was the big smiles on their faces of having fun, adventure outdoors.
As an Australian hearing the kids say they caught a snake was a moment of panic for me! Snake here means highly venomous and we teach our kids NEVER to go near snakes. Your kids are such adventurers. Thanks for doing Vlogtober again.
We’re also in the “go big or go home” category for staples in our house these days! Good luck with Christmas shopping! Your planner has really inspired me to be thinking of everything much earlier this year. I’ve been tucking away some thrift store finds and ordering toys as they’ve been on sale. Now if I could just wrap them as they come into our home! Every year my husband and I are wrapping on Christmas Eve!
I just found you while searching out people blowing in October and I’m so glad. Really enjoying it. Had to smile when I saw the Kunzler bacon. I live in the small town that makes bacon. My husband use to work there. It’s, of course, my favorite bacon.
I have 4 boys and 1 girl. The snake is totally something my kids would do, too! I also try to be finished with Christmas gifts by Halloween 🎃 glad you got your TP back!!
Hiliary you are a rare find! Your personality is very sweet and calming and inspiring. I love to watch how you interact with your children, they are fortunate to have you as mama. When you were in your bathroom I noticed your shower curtain. I love it!!! Could you tell me where you purchased it? Like you I am sick of the trending styles and am going back to simple classic styles. Lastly, you have the most adorable family. All of them have your big brown eyes.
I start Christmas shopping early.. like summer early! LOL.. it's best to have time on your side so you can catch sales and the retailers have plenty of stock of things. I like to spend November wrapping and baking for Christmas and December is to decorate the whole house and enjoy the season. I don't like to rush last minute. Christmas is a season not just a day :)
I feel you on the toilet paper 😫 I once left a giant package of diapers on the bottom shelf of my shopping cart. I only realized when I got home- and had zero diapers! I’ve also begun my Christmas shopping this year. I want to enjoy the season without having to rush around last minute. Really loving Vlogtober, as always. Have a great weekend!
not crazy for wanting to get Christmas done. I did alot of my shopping in August. just have to get some stocking stuffer then I'll be done. I love it getting it done earily so I don't have to be out in the husle and busle of Christmas shopping. great video. and very cool the kiddos caught a snake.
Early shopping is a great idea. My sister starts in January, she has older children. I start in September so I can fun shop closer to Christmas. I don't really need anything, just enjoy the ambiance without the pressure. 🙋♀️
I love Christmas, but I like it to be stress free, I am a early shopper for Christmas gifts, and I think this year by end of October I will be done, I even wrapped gifts as I bought them
Nah your not crazy it’s helpful to shop early. I love to start in October. 😊 the perk to that the kids aren’t keen to it yet and I can sneak the gifts easier! Haha😊
I’m sure you do this but when I descale the Keurig or coffee pot I “pair the task” with cleaning the drains of the kitchen sink and other sinks. Baking Soda and hot Vinegar that just went through the Keurig makes for an amazing cleaner for those sometimes icky kitchen sink drains ☺️ (we usually descale at night- run two large cycles and leave on and rinse in the am with water cycles)😎
Love the ornaments- Wal- Mart has really a really great selection! awww cool little snake- brave kiddos, good job momma. Im gonna have to check out that Kaboom cleaner!
Thank you for reminding me to buy our Nutcracker tickets! They sell out so quickly for us. I also started a tradition to buy our daughter a nutcracker each year. I believe she has 20 now 💗
Oh my goodness a snake! Here in Australia all our snakes can kill us so that is my biggest fear! How you stayed so calm I have no idea! Loving vlogtober 🥰
Try “wet and forget” for tub and shower. Follow the directions. You will love it. I get mine from Amazon, but you can sometimes find it at Lowes 👍🏻 PS. I always have all my shopping, wrapping done by Thanksgiving.
My guess is, Walmart didn’t have enough workers. I live in western North Carolina, this is normal here. McDonald’s, Dollar stores, anyone …. Lots close at 4 and 5 because no one will work. Or they just stay closed. Even our Drs. offices are down to 4 days now. One of our main Walgreens had to shut its doors because they didn’t have a pharmacist. It’s common here. If you order curbside at Walmart here, you can’t pick your order up till next day or two. Regardless of how early you put the order in. That, and we don’t have food products available. Yeah…it’s crazy.
Good morning Hillary. Your little boy is brave. My little girl was scared when she saw the big 🐍 and she's 5. I'm glad I'm not the only one that forgets stuff. I admire you though you get so much stuff done. I need to start drinking ☕️ .lol
Hillary you might pick up a jar of nescafe clasico instant coffee. It's a dark roast and I use it for those emergency times like you had when I need a coffee. It's quite good and with a little bit of cream and vanilla and cinnamon I think you would find it a good substitute! I just ordered your book and can't wait to get it I know we'll have a happier Christmas because I'll be more organized
I have already bought (a ridiculously expensive) stocking holder from Anthropologie, I saw it and thought it just might work for our fireplace/mantle which has no wood and is topped with an ugly uneven slab of slate. I'm thrilled because it actually does work perfectly and after 11 years of trying to figure out a solution, I found one!! I also ordered Sugar Paper wrapping paper because our Target doesn't carry it locally and it sells out fast. I do get Dollar Tree paper usually, but last year I wasn't a fan of the changed prints. I enjoy wrapping so it was sort of a treat, but it's out of the way now :)
Glad you went back for the tissue. I've left behind, and truly $$out of the pocket when things aren't retrieved. I know...want to kick ourselves, but you had two very active little guys with you, easy to do! A good thing to educate kids about is snakes. Most are safe, but even in New Jersey there are some to avoid. You have such a sweet family. Blessings!
Get it now before it's all picked over. Plus it gets cold where you are so you can stay home and watch Christmas movies instead of last minute shopping. Here in Texas we shop in December wearing shorts and flip flops.
Thankfully we still have cashiers at Walmart and they bag everything. Thanks so much for the videos everyday but I kinda miss the music from previous years of vlogtober. 😂
I would love to hear your suggestions for Christmas gifts for children! My grandchildren are ages similar to your children’s ages. I understand banana breaks, my 3 year old grandson visited last weekend and he ate 4 bananas over the course of the day!
Wonderful, inspiring video as always! I just placed my order for your Christmas book and I cannot wait for it to arrive! By the way,your shower curtain is so beautiful, where is it from?
Another great Vlogtober video!! I enjoy these so much! and I absolutely LOVE that shower curtain!!! Can you post where you found it please? Sunshine after a few days of rain...especially a fall one, is absolutely the BEST, and I miss those lovely NJ falls..( I am a NJ girl living in FL for the last 14yrs ) I need to find your biscuit recipe again...I made a casserole for dinner, and my copy of it ( which became my favorite by the way ) is missing....how funny that you posted about it in todays vlog!!! =) Blessings!
Did youcall the store to see if the toilette paper was left at cash or turned in from your cart? At stores in my area they can pull up receipt with the card that was used to pay. Commented too early lol glad you asked.
I think your rain has came our way now 😢. I love the sunshine so will enjoy it when it’s back. I was thinking maybe you could have picked up the pumpkins when you went back for your toilet paper. What are your thoughts, so far, for Christmas items? I a, almost done already 😊. I am a Nana and have decided not to buy as much as I used to (I bought about 12 presents each and filled a stocking each, it was crazy) but this year I’m thinking a couple presents to unwrap and money 😅.
How do you keep cinnamon from collecting at the bottom of the mug.... mine just doesn't mix in. Also I always liked being done early with Christmas shopping, but the only one who I seem to be able to do that now is my daughter in law. Girls are easy. But I have a grown son with 2 grandsons... 28 and 18 and none of them ever know what they want!!! The older they get , the harder it is. I do get gift cards and gas cards but I like to have a gift under the tree. Also I love baked potatoes with chili on top with onions, cheese , sour cream and chives.. yummmm A complete meal!
A delicious meal for sure! My cinnamon does settle but I just drink the last bit slowly. I’ve heard you can also add cinnamon to the grinds as it brews
Let me know when to do the 8 12 hold down on the Keurig. I descaled quite a while ago (with the kit from Amazon), but the light never shut off. Help! Have to try your biscuit recipe because we never finish the Pillsbury ones before they get hard as a rock. Thanks, Hilary!
Oh Hilary, you are such a good mama! I would have run screaming in the other direction, I am terrified of all snakes! I love your videos, they always make me smile, even if there’s a snake visiting ☺️
I don’t know what I fear more…snakes or dentists😂. I hate them both, yikes!😂
@@nikkivenable3700 good point! Especially if there’s a needle involved 😬😬😬
Hahaha same 😅
What a great day!! Even with the set backs. Lots of productivity, a delicious meal with biscuits and the fun surprise of the kiddos catching a snake!! They sounded so proud and blessed how Mom and Dad reacted❤️
I just love your vlogtober videos. I've left things at Walmart and had to go get it. Also they forgot to put a bag of groceries in my things at pickup.

It's never too early to start! Christmas will be here before we turn around!!
Always inspiring to see your days so productive!
I do enjoy waking up to see your vlogs, you are so wholesome and inspiring to be a great homemaker with passion and love.
When my children were little (All now in their 40's) I had my Christmas Shopping done by Mid-October. It was always such a stress free Holiday season because of this.
I’m sure enjoying your vlogs so much! Your roses are lovely.
Good Morning, Hilary! What a darling vlog!! You are the cutest!! Also, I received your book and wrote a review! Oh my goodness!! I LOOVE it so much!!! I actually hugged it and I'm 57, hahaha!!!! I hope your weekend goes really well and I look forward to sharing my coffee with you again tomorrow morning!! Love, Kellie
It's sounds like you're like me, that having some sunshine just makes all the difference in mood. :)
Last year almost all gifts were purchased in October and what a relief it was to be done and able to fully enjoy the holiday festivities.
God bless you Hilary, 4 kids, a home to take care of and here you are filming on your own and editing too. Love your shower curtain, it's beautiful.
Should the Lord terry one day your kids and grandchildren will look at these videos and see how much you're really poured into making their lives and their memories so blessed.

Yes, pretty handwriting,like old fashioned penmanship.
I love how you do a great job with disappointments. I appreciate you sharing the verse that helps keep 😊a heavenly perspective on changes that come our way. ☺️
Loved seeing Luke and Jude outside playing. They're both getting so big. You are a brave mom with the snake. I don't like any kind of snakes at all and either do my kids. Great vlog as always!
I always do my Christmas shopping early.Tyfs🏡🧡🎄
So glad you are feeling better. 💕💕💕
I so love vlogtober...thanks so much Hilary! God's blessings on you and your family!
I love how organized you are! Working on a cleaning schedule for my retirement so I can plan my days of fun!❤
Your handwriting is beautiful. Would love to use that "font" for my Christmas cards!
Great video, as always! And I just have to say… You have the prettiest handwriting!!!
Hilary, I just love love love your bathroom. The finishes, paint color, shower curtain.... everything about it. You did such a great job on it. I keep meaning to tell you each time you video cleaning it lol.
Ah thank you so much!
Oh no, a snake! ha ha Those children are so fun. I would not be calm with that sized snake. You are amazing!! Thanks again for your very precious time used to make these videos. So much fun for an old granny to watch! Love it. 🧓🐍💙
Having a good night's sleep and a sunny day sure made you perking and happier. I'm glad. Another lovely video!
Always a joy getting to hang out with you everyday during Vlogtober. I left a bag with a deeply discounted Christmas decor item at Target’s self checkout last year. They later refunded me, but am still annoyed at myself for it! Fun to hear Luke’s comments. That will be Jude before you know it. 🍁🍂🍁🍂🍁
Loving watching your vlogs Hilary!! We have the same Keurig and if you push the 8oz and the 12oz together at the same time it will enter descaling mode.

Wow, you are always busy. Good job facilitating it all.
We have 11 grandkids and buy presents between Christmas and New Year for the following Christmas. There are a lot of end of year sales, so it is a little cheaper....but the trick is NOT to lose the master list. LOL
I'm glad you got your Keurig going. No fun not having coffee in the morning.
I also put cinnamon in my coffee but I grade a little nutmeg in there just a tiny bit makes it super delicious! You may want to try that I remember that you have a lot of whole nutmeg pods that you bought a long time ago now they're kind of pricey Starbucks uses that little trick as well.
It's good that you called Walmart about the toilet paper it costs a small fortune nowadays!😆
I like how you snuck a little Christmas tune with the shopping clip. :)
😉✨
I'm glad you called about that toilet paper, drives me nuts when I forget something like that! Lol, that garter snake was thinking he'd have a nice sunbath after days of rain and then the kids discovered him~ bet he was happy to be released back to the big outdoors.

Am I the only mom that would have freaked out about the snake? I just can not!

I add the unexpected to my list and then cross it off...😊
😂 That gave me a laugh that you do that, 'cause we all know it will always be in the schedule!
I LOVE the kids found a snake. Sounds like my brother and I when we were growing up! Of course, where we lived we had to watch out for copperheads and cottonmouths, lol.

I just started Xmas shopping, I also want to be done and wrapped by Nov 15th! Enjoy your weekend! 🌻🌻🌻
I'm so glad you were able to get the TP that you had purchased. I love having a freshly cleaned bathroom. I'm glad the rain lifted and the kids were able to play outside. It's still raining here. Although we need the rain, I miss the sun.
Ordered nutcracker tickets for the first time for me and my 5 year old! I can't wait to start this tradition with her :)
I had a "remember when" you mentioned deep cleaning the bathroom and within minutes little ones will be in with dirt and leaves. What I wished was noticed was the big smiles on their faces of having fun, adventure outdoors.
You have beautiful handwriting Hilary

So glad you’re here Becky! Delicious bacon indeed ❤️
I use to be done with Christmas shopping by November 1st . I always enjoyed the season after that ❤❤
I like to have all my shopping and wrapping done by Halloween. Takes so much stress off the holiday season💜
I love the voice of your little guy!!! ❤
I have 4 boys and 1 girl. The snake is totally something my kids would do, too! I also try to be finished with Christmas gifts by Halloween 🎃 glad you got your TP back!!
This vlog made me smile. Thanks for bringing us along on The Great Toilet Paper Caper 😂. Have a lovely day 😊.
🤣 love the title
Hiliary you are a rare find! Your personality is very sweet and calming and inspiring. I love to watch how you interact with your children, they are fortunate to have you as mama. When you were in your bathroom I noticed your shower curtain. I love it!!! Could you tell me where you purchased it? Like you I am sick of the trending styles and am going back to simple classic styles. Lastly, you have the most adorable family. All of them have your big brown eyes.
Thank you, I found it at Home Goods, it’s Ralph Lauren brand 💛
I start Christmas shopping early.. like summer early! LOL.. it's best to have time on your side so you can catch sales and the retailers have plenty of stock of things. I like to spend November wrapping and baking for Christmas and December is to decorate the whole house and enjoy the season. I don't like to rush last minute. Christmas is a season not just a day :)

Did you get it back? 😄

Yay for getting the toilet paper back. These little things sure can make one a little anxious
It's Saturday and I slept in longer than usual...I woke up and looked at the clock and thought....Oh No.....I'm late for Hilary's vlog!!!! lol
I’m sure you do this but when I descale the Keurig or coffee pot I “pair the task” with cleaning the drains of the kitchen sink and other sinks. Baking Soda and hot Vinegar that just went through the Keurig makes for an amazing cleaner for those sometimes icky kitchen sink drains ☺️ (we usually descale at night- run two large cycles and leave on and rinse in the am with water cycles)😎
Always good to see you Hillary 🍁
Love the ornaments- Wal- Mart has really a really great selection! awww cool little snake- brave kiddos, good job momma. Im gonna have to check out that Kaboom cleaner!
I love kaboom!
Never too early to start Christmas shopping!! 🎄
I agree I look for Christmas gifts all year if I see something someone would love I buy it and store it in a tote just for gifts.
You have really beautiful handwriting!
We use Kaboom in our bathroom as well!! It's strong!.. but I love the fact of the Clean Smell!!.
Thank you for reminding me to buy our Nutcracker tickets! They sell out so quickly for us. I also started a tradition to buy our daughter a nutcracker each year. I believe she has 20 now 💗
I now only buy Christmas presents for my grandkids, no stress shopping for me.
Oh my goodness a snake! Here in Australia all our snakes can kill us so that is my biggest fear! How you stayed so calm I have no idea!
Loving vlogtober 🥰
It’s just a garter snake, harmless over here ☺️
The saying that I know is “if you want to make God laugh tell him your plans”
Try “wet and forget” for tub and shower. Follow the directions. You will love it. I get mine from Amazon, but you can sometimes find it at Lowes 👍🏻
PS. I always have all my shopping, wrapping done by Thanksgiving.
My guess is, Walmart didn’t have enough workers. I live in western North Carolina, this is normal here. McDonald’s, Dollar stores, anyone …. Lots close at 4 and 5 because no one will work.

Yeah…it’s crazy.
Good morning Hillary. Your little boy is brave. My little girl was scared when she saw the big 🐍 and she's 5.
I'm glad I'm not the only one that forgets stuff. I admire you though you get so much stuff done. I need to start drinking ☕️ .lol
Hillary you might pick up a jar of nescafe clasico instant coffee. It's a dark roast and I use it for those emergency times like you had when I need a coffee. It's quite good and with a little bit of cream and vanilla and cinnamon I think you would find it a good substitute! I just ordered your book and can't wait to get it I know we'll have a happier Christmas because I'll be more organized

I also ordered Sugar Paper wrapping paper because our Target doesn't carry it locally and it sells out fast. I do get Dollar Tree paper usually, but last year I wasn't a fan of the changed prints. I enjoy wrapping so it was sort of a treat, but it's out of the way now :)
Another great video ❤
Glad you went back for the tissue. I've left behind, and truly $$out of the pocket when things aren't retrieved. I know...want to kick ourselves, but you had two very active little guys with you, easy to do! A good thing to educate kids about is snakes. Most are safe, but even in New Jersey there are some to avoid. You have such a sweet family. Blessings!
HAPPY SATURDAY Hillary and family! Those boys are busy, we have two son's I do know boys...NEVER had pheasant. Enjoy your day! STTB
Get it now before it's all picked over. Plus it gets cold where you are so you can stay home and watch Christmas movies instead of last minute shopping. Here in Texas we shop in December wearing shorts and flip flops.
Thankfully we still have cashiers at Walmart and they bag everything. Thanks so much for the videos everyday but I kinda miss the music from previous years of vlogtober. 😂
I would love to hear your suggestions for Christmas gifts for children! My grandchildren are ages similar to your children’s ages. I understand banana breaks, my 3 year old grandson visited last weekend and he ate 4 bananas over the course of the day!
I Absolutely Love the Kaboom!
Wonderful, inspiring video as always! I just placed my order for your Christmas book and I cannot wait for it to arrive! By the way,your shower curtain is so beautiful, where is it from?
Thank you! It’s from HomeGoods, the Ralph Lauren line 💛
Another great Vlogtober video!! I enjoy these so much! and I absolutely LOVE that shower curtain!!! Can you post where you found it please?
Sunshine after a few days of rain...especially a fall one, is absolutely the BEST, and I miss those lovely NJ falls..( I am a NJ girl living in FL for the last 14yrs )
I need to find your biscuit recipe again...I made a casserole for dinner, and my copy of it ( which became my favorite by the way ) is missing....how funny that you posted about it in todays vlog!!! =)
Blessings!
Hey look at that ☺️ It’s from HomeGoods!
Did youcall the store to see if the toilette paper was left at cash or turned in from your cart? At stores in my area they can pull up receipt with the card that was used to pay.
Commented too early lol glad you asked.
I always thought the descale light on the coffeemaker was just a reminder that It needed to be done soon not immediately.
Me too -but then again-better to do it right away.
I think your rain has came our way now 😢. I love the sunshine so will enjoy it when it’s back. I was thinking maybe you could have picked up the pumpkins when you went back for your toilet paper. What are your thoughts, so far, for Christmas items? I a, almost done already 😊. I am a Nana and have decided not to buy as much as I used to (I bought about 12 presents each and filled a stocking each, it was crazy) but this year I’m thinking a couple presents to unwrap and money 😅.
Thanks for the kaboom recommendation. I bought scrubbing bubbles last week and it is such a strong smell. Can’t tolerate it.
Enjoyed.
I have the same Keurig and the descale light didn’t shut off after I used vinegar to descale!
Glad the TP was solved…M❤️M of 5
Hilary, where did you get your shower curtain? Thank you for Vlogtober xo
HomeGoods 🧡
How do you keep cinnamon from collecting at the bottom of the mug.... mine just doesn't mix in. Also I always liked being done early with Christmas shopping, but the only one who I seem to be able to do that now is my daughter in law. Girls are easy. But I have a grown son with 2 grandsons... 28 and 18 and none of them ever know what they want!!! The older they get , the harder it is. I do get gift cards and gas cards but I like to have a gift under the tree. Also I love baked potatoes with chili on top with onions, cheese , sour cream and chives.. yummmm A complete meal!
A delicious meal for sure! My cinnamon does settle but I just drink the last bit slowly. I’ve heard you can also add cinnamon to the grinds as it brews
Let me know when to do the 8 12 hold down on the Keurig. I descaled quite a while ago (with the kit from Amazon), but the light never shut off. Help! Have to try your biscuit recipe because we never finish the Pillsbury ones before they get hard as a rock. Thanks, Hilary!
