This is a very timely video. I bought 6 bushels of apples last weekend because of the great price. 😂 I knew it would be a lot on my plate with homeschooling, having a 4 month old baby, and trying to manage regular cooking and rhe homestead chores while canning a bunch of applesauce. But I'm more than halfway through them since I've worked on it a bit each day! Feels good to display all the pretty jars. ❤
@@EveryPeachInReach wow, you have a lot on your plate! I admire you in all the valuable tasks you are doing. Each of those jobs is important in caring for your family. Enjoy snuggles with your little one! I miss those precious baby days.
Well done - thank you for that Mrs. Qurollo. I completely agree and have often shared similar encouragement with many stressed and frustrated individuals over the years. I remind them that "every big achievement is made up of small steps, so focus on doing the necessary little things. In time, the big things will be accomplished." While everyone desires the grand and glorious outcomes, it seems fewer people appreciate the value of diligence and consistency.
@@jessejamesq403 well said! It's often the faithful, consistent people who are the quiet, behind the scenes type of people who actually get the work done. It takes self discipline to keep at a task day after day, or week after week.
How timely for me to stumble upon this! I have set myself a deadline for end of year to complete a bedroom makeover in a room that has what I call "the repository of all the things." I have to clean out the closet in there to find space to store some of the items in the room (like blankets and seasonal throw pillows). I was making good headway and then all of a sudden it seemed so overwhelming! I had trash and donate and keep piles everywhere! It was going on 10 pm and I had neither showered nor eaten supper. I was about to walk away, but I caught myself. I knew that if I let it beat me then, I might let it beat me next time and if I left it scattered then, it would be so easy just to shut the door and forget about my goal for the room. I said to self, "let's haul out the trash" I took it straight out to the truck. Back inside I said "bag up all the donate and out to the truck with it" I was left with the keep/not yet ready to part with pile. I vacuumed the closet floor, put those items in a bin and slid it to the back. I was then able to use some of my newfound floor space to store some items that had been lining the bedroom walls! This morning, I carried all the items to either the donate shop or the landfill. I have the other side of the closet to tackle today, but I'm feeling like it is possible! One apple at the time!!
@@tiffanybrantley23 I love your progress! One step at a time! It's so easy to get overwhelmed, but I've learned to focus my mind on one task at a time, even if something else is screaming for my attention. So glad you were encouraged!
I have a room like that. I've decluttered it more than once, but it's got out of control again. I have been just opening the door and shoving things in. It's overwhelming. I keep thinking I don't know where to start, but maybe with the floor? Then I can at least get in there without risking my neck!
God always knows *exactly* what I need to see and when… ❤ I always try to do *everything* all at *once*, which we know doesn’t work well… i’ve been feeling so overwhelmed lately.. i’ll definitely be trying “bite size” tasks this week..
@@NobodySpecial509 well, I think you are somebody special! I'm so glad God used this video to encourage you. That is my desire to uplift and encourage others. Breaking tasks down into manageable chunks has been life-changing for me.
@@ashleyqurollo just beautiful….it sounds like you are in the next room of my house playing….excellent sound quality as well as a beautifully written song :)
One 🍎 at a time. ❤ We’re in the process of moving into our new home 🏠. So many boxes 📦 to go through! It’s a task Hercules would balk at! So, one 📦 at a time….
@@H_isforHomestead SARAH!!!!!! IT'S SO GOOD TO HEAR FROM YOU!!! yes, I'm yelling that...lol. I have thought of you so often and heard about your family news through the grapevine, but I'm so glad to come in personal contact with you. I can't wait to check out your channel! Oh, I'm so happy to reconnect.♥️
@@ashleyqurollo I haven’t posted anything on my channel in about a year. Lots of personal family things keeping me busy. I’m hoping to come back soon. But, it’s so good to “see” you again.
@@H_isforHomesteadI totally understand the busyness of life. I make videos when I can, too, and don't pressure myself about making them. Well, I look forward to whenever you do share more content! Again, it's so good to reconnect. ❤
Sarah, I hate to ask over a public platform, but I have no other way of contacting you. Could you shoot me an email at ashley@ashleyqurollo.com so I can be in contact with you? Thank you so much. 😊
@@lisatiptoes I'm so glad this was a blessing to you! I really try to bring real encouremanet, not showcase that I'm some kind of supermom because I'm not. I'm a real mom who struggles most days, too. My heart is blessed that you liked the music. I compose and record all my own original music for this channel.
@ashleyqurollo and I know that this was totally unintentional o. Your part, but it came to me while watching your video. I need to use a pencil in my planner, not a pen. That way, I can erase if I need to. It makes it more flexible if I need it to be.
Lovely and peaceful video. Thank you for sharing. ☺
@@jenniferwilliams7 thank you for such kind words!

Very motivational! Makes me feel better to know someone else has to do tasks over long periods of time. Been sewing the same dress for three weeks.
@@Pocketsand662 wow! It would take me much longer than weeks to sew a dress...months...or more.🤭 so glad the video was an encouragement to you!
Beautiful video Ashley❤. Thank you so so much for sharing😊. So encouraging ❤
You are so welcome! Thank you for watching.

Just came across your channel and subscribed. Lovely video ❤
We grow our own apples. We just store them in our cool basement as they are and they keep until February. Easy for busy/lazy people like me!
@@mindys3581 I love that you grow your own apples! What an easy process for storing!
Love the piano :)
@@wanderinghome9979 that warms my heart! I write and play all my own music for this channel.🎹♥️
@@ashleyqurollo just beautiful….it sounds like you are in the next room of my house playing….excellent sound quality as well as a beautifully written song :)
@@wanderinghome9979 you are truly kind! I'm learning about recording...its a challenge. So glad the music is a blessing.
One 🍎 at a time. ❤
We’re in the process of moving into our new home 🏠. So many boxes 📦 to go through! It’s a task Hercules would balk at! So, one 📦 at a time….
Same! We moved last month and it feels like I “should” be done by now. But it’s been a very slow process
@Inspiredamongstthechaos oh my! Moving to a new home takes time to settle in. Give yourself grace.♥️ maybe unpack as you can and rest when needed!
I didn’t know you can give apple peels to chickens.
They have not died yet.🤭 hope I'm not a bad chicken mama.
