We rarely use paper plates and like using the real thing. I don't even mind washing dishes by hand, rather than using the dishwasher. The hot soapy water feels soothing on my arthritic hands and I can look out the kitchen window at the birds on the feeder and deer eating from the apple trees.
I appreciate your vlogs so much. I would have never thought how hard a sloped floor could be for someone. She will conquer it. She always does. Every time I walk into a theaters sloped floor I will think of Abbie❤
I'd like to say that I look forward to your daily vlogs. My day is not complete without seeing all of your faces. I miss you on Mondays. I've been a fan since your very first vlog. Wtg Abbie for attempting to go in to see the movie. The day will come that it'll be a breeze for you. I hope that the rain will come to a stop for you all very soon.
I haven’t bought or used paper plates in years. I like using my lovely plates & handwashing which I find relaxing & satisfying. Now, if I could find paper pots & pans I’d be all over it. 🤣
If you have like a pool pump/submersible pump with a long hose to the outside or drain so you can put that in the sump hole while you fix the main pump
Add a secondary smaller pump to run beside the sub-pump as you're changing it maybe? a hose to a sink drain so you don't have to worry about flooding while you're fixing it. :)
I was hoping the rain would stop soon. My brother is helping my nephew move to Jax this weekend from SFl. Hope you guys don’t get too much flooding or damage in your house🙏We always seem to have mushrooms. One day a lady and her kid knocked on my door and asked if they could take some mushrooms, I said take all you want I don’t like them, made her happy but it was just so random🤷♀️😂
You guys are amazing, the way you encourage Abi to learn new things and fight herself for things she wants to do. All because of your hard work and love ♥ I know what you are going through, i have my brother i care for, he is autistic also, he struggles a lot and i recognize so many things with what you do for her i do for my brother.
Do you and Cilla know about the Sensory Friendly films through AMC and other organizations? They leave the lights on so that you can see where you walk... the movies are turned down and the kiddos can be as loud as they need! Just something to look into...
There is a possibility of another lockdown because of the mosquitoes spreading the disease EEE so far 5 or 6 states have already had to do a lockdown and I'm sure the CDC is going to make lots of other states do a lockdown
We do both! The kids use paper plates because they tend to forget and throw it away. We use real and wash it by hand! My son had issues with movies when he was younger. Now he is much better that he is older. Ab will get there! She always does!🥰🥰 Have a great Thursday everyone!!💚💚
My husband and I used paper plates for the longest time, but it can be costly. We started using our regular dishes, but recently had folks over for a casual dinner (pulled pork, etc) and used paper. We have some left over, so it's been nice to have fewer dishes.
I live in the far upper left corner of the US. And Ive not heard of people using paper plates for anything but parties. Or like 18 year old boys who moved out of their parents house for the first time.
I think using paper plates is mainly an American process I’m in Canada and we only use paper plates really for bbq occasion and sometimes for larger gatherings
I'm so over the rain too!! We've needed it so bad. Our area has had so little this summer but back to back to back muggy rainy days is depressing! Mushrooms mean healthy soil. ❤
We tend to use plastic that is reusable and recycled after it finally gives out. I have found it gives the comfort of a paper plate if dropped in the garden at en event etc, and it gives the stability of not falling Apart. We keep outside with the bbq stuff and when we wanna use it we wash it ready for use.
We use paper plates, I struggle with doing dishes, specially because I struggle with dishes, it's the one thing that causes my brain to pump the breaks. We're also in Military housing where things don't work as they should no matter how many times you call to have them fix it, so we have to hand wash everything. Our last two bases had working dishwashers and we used regular plates but it's just easier to use and toss on those days you're struggling.
Hi from Queensland Australia. Love your plants! We also have Bird of Paradise, Hibiscus and Jasmine. The Jasmine is bloom in Summer and the fragrance is amazing 😊
Many people don't have the space, many people don't have the time to wash them, many people fight over the dishes, so for many reasons, paper plates is just easier. When you own your own home, or are middle/upper class, you tend to have regular plates and fancier glasses for social events. Living in a studio apartment, you're lucky if anyone of your cups match.
I have no guilt on the rare occasion we use paper plates because they go in out compost/yard waste bin, so it's not going into the landfill! But it's also such a rare occasion that I wouldn't feel guilt anyways. Live & let live- there's way bigger issues in the world! ❤
We used paper plates at my parents for several years. I don't use paper dishes since I use crutches to get around. I use the .50 cent bowls from Walmart.
We use regular plates but sometimes I wish we used paper plates because we don't have a dishwasher. We did use paper plates when we were moving and last holiday meal. We had these fancy Xmas themed paper plates. 😂
We don’t use paper plates anymore but I do have a bunch of the .50 plastic ones from Target that we use often. We do have a set of “real” plates that we use too
paper plates here!! when I was younger and had kids and stuff we used real plates.. but then it was just my husband and I .. we used paper and now he is gone so I use paper.. seems the only thing I wash is silverware and coffee and water cups lol
Wow sustainable living here in New Zealand ... bever heard of people using paper plates for everyday living. Wow im shocked ... i have never purchased them in my life ❤
Hey I'm a single mom working 2 jobs, I'm lucky enough to get dinner cooked let alone get dishes washed. I live in an order home that doesn't have a dishwasher so that's not an option. I LOVVVVVVE me some paper plates.....I don't care who comes for me and my Dixie dishware 🤣🤣🤣
I live in the high desert and right now, the whole area is orange because of the smoke. We have the Line fire (Arrowhead) and the Bridge fire (Wrightwood) which is very close to us. We definitely need the water.
My Grama used paper plates after she turned 90-something because it was just easier for her. The rest of my household usually uses regular plates but if my parents go out of town, my sister and I do a mix of paper plates and regular just coz since it's just the two of us, we don't fill the dishwasher as quickly and sometimes we feel too lazy to wash by hand a lot haha
Wow! Here in DK the theaters do not have a ramp up to enter the theater, it is all ground level. There are stairs down towards the screen, but there is a ground level row.
I don't have a dishwasher in my apartment so I use paper plates with a plastic plate underneath for stability. I refuse to wash dishes in the sink every single day. When I get a dishwasher again then I will use washable plates again but until then, paper is the way to go for me
SO in order to make your plants bloom you need to put a fertilizer called bloom buster 10 10 10 . that is what my husband told me. He us to have a foliage nursery
We have regular plates for heavy meals or when family comes. We use paper daily or for snacks. We do not have a dishwasher and have lived here for 15 years. Paper just lightens the daily hand washing load.
I know we all complain about the weather we don’t want but I would give anything to have rain right now. A complete town a cpl hours away from me just burned to the ground. Seriously, the whole town is gone.
I’m alone now and I still use real plates unless I’m rushing to go somewhere. We use paper plates when we have parties at my sisters’ just because it’s easier. We are a family of 15 (used to be 16 before my dad passed in 2022).
We rarely use paper plates and like using the real thing. I don't even mind washing dishes by hand, rather than using the dishwasher. The hot soapy water feels soothing on my arthritic hands and I can look out the kitchen window at the birds on the feeder and deer eating from the apple trees.

I say Isaiah manifested that Bird of Paradise blooming! Best wishes y’all!

I love to hand wash as well.

That definitely is a Birds Of Paradise.... I love them. They are such unique little beauties.
Hearing you talk about Abbie and the movies really drive home the fact that Covid lockdowns really altered so many people's lives!
There is a possibility of another lockdown because of the mosquitoes spreading the disease EEE so far 5 or 6 states have already had to do a lockdown and I'm sure the CDC is going to make lots of other states do a lockdown
Geez 🙄, that stinking rain! 🌧️ I feel so bad for everyone who got flooded out! 🤦♀️😭
We do both! The kids use paper plates because they tend to forget and throw it away.
We use real and wash it by hand! My son had issues with movies when he was younger. Now he is much better that he is older. Ab will get there! She always does!🥰🥰 Have a great Thursday everyone!!💚💚

In Ireland we only really use paper plates at like birthday parties or events, not at home
Each to their own though, no judgement here 😊
@nchristie463 same here in New Zealand. It's always interesting to see different perspectives.
I live in the far upper left corner of the US. And Ive not heard of people using paper plates for anything but parties. Or like 18 year old boys who moved out of their parents house for the first time.
Thank you for sharing Miss Abigail. Enjoy the rest of your evening sweet dreams mama 💜🙏👋
That is such a beautiful flower plant. Those are so unique.
Hi abbie and family,I'm glad Abbie try to go inside the movie theater hope y'all are having a wonderful thursday and stay safe out there ❤️🤗❤️🤗❤️🤗❤️🤗
I'm sorry that Abbie didn't see the movie. Maybe next time. Love and prayers that you don't drown down there, from NC
New to the paper plate craze. Paper plates for life now. The heavy Dixie ones! The big ones! And YES to Thanksgiving dinner on a paper plate also!
I think using paper plates is mainly an American process I’m in Canada and we only use paper plates really for bbq occasion and sometimes for larger gatherings
Abbie you are awesome you got this girl!!!
I'm so over the rain too!! We've needed it so bad. Our area has had so little this summer but back to back to back muggy rainy days is depressing! Mushrooms mean healthy soil. ❤
When my husband of fifty years passed I switched to paper plates because it now is just me.
Same here!
When my kids were home we used paper plates. Now they’re grown and don’t live at home. We use real plates and I do dishes by hand.
Pricilla looks amazing …
Her hair looks incredible I love how she parts it
My family is a regular plate family. I didn’t really think about it until you said something.
We tend to use plastic that is reusable and recycled after it finally gives out. I have found it gives the comfort of a paper plate if dropped in the garden at en event etc, and it gives the stability of not falling Apart. We keep outside with the bbq stuff and when we wanna use it we wash it ready for use.
We only use actual plates for all our meals as well
The only times we will use paper plates is for big birthday parties etc ❤
Please send some of that rain to SoCal. I’m almost in the center of 3 wild fires.
Central Ca too!!!!!! 🙋♀️😩🙏
Praying 🙏 for you we can smell the smoke Central Coast Cali
No seriously!! These fires are nuts!! I'm close to 2 of the biggest fires.
Be safe 🙏 ❤️ 😊
Stay safe❤ we want rain in Colorado
How are the quail handling all the rain? I absolutely love your channel. Your family is amazing. ❤❤
We use paper plates, I struggle with doing dishes, specially because I struggle with dishes, it's the one thing that causes my brain to pump the breaks.

We are a regular plate family for sure! My mother would never allow it so now I don’t either! ❤❤❤
I live in Las Vegas and I can for sure say that we would be washed off the map if we had that much rain. I hope your basement is okay!
Glass here in Texas,I love washing dishes. And cleaning my kitchen
Beautiful pic of the mushroom 🍄 ❤
We only use paper plates if we go on a picnic sometimes but we generally have pic;ic plates for our picnics. We use normal plates for dinner.
Just wondering, do you ever use umbrellas?
Hi from Queensland Australia. Love your plants! We also have Bird of Paradise, Hibiscus and Jasmine. The Jasmine is bloom in Summer and the fragrance is amazing 😊

We live in California and I am so jealous of your rain! 😂
LOVE that mushroom photo!
We used paper plates at my parents for several years. I don't use paper dishes since I use crutches to get around. I use the .50 cent bowls from Walmart.
We use paper plates all the time! Keeps the dishwasher from running like crazy! Use them more when there’s a full house of company!
We use regular plates but sometimes I wish we used paper plates because we don't have a dishwasher. We did use paper plates when we were moving and last holiday meal. We had these fancy Xmas themed paper plates. 😂
Paper plates 🍽 are the best! There nothing wrong if you use regular plates when you have company. That chicken alfredo looks delicious 😋
You need two sump pumps. My dad had the same problem. He had to install 2 sump pumps.
We've always used regular plates and occasionally have used paper plated for parties and what not
I do use paper plates. But it's also just me and I do use regular plates. I hope you get sub pump fixed
I prefer and use really plates. Paper plates only for an outside event.
We don’t use paper plates anymore but I do have a bunch of the .50 plastic ones from Target that we use often. We do have a set of “real” plates that we use too
Asa go to Home Depot get a portable sub pump to help pump water out while replacing actual sub pump. Is it in your basement?
Since my husband dies, I use only paper. I used it a lot with my kids as we were always running to athletic or school events.
That mushroom picture is fabulous.
paper plates here!! when I was younger and had kids and stuff we used real plates.. but then it was just my husband and I .. we used paper and now he is gone so I use paper.. seems the only thing I wash is silverware and coffee and water cups lol
We get those orange mushrooms too in Central Florida, especially after a lot of rain
Wow sustainable living here in New Zealand ... bever heard of people using paper plates for everyday living. Wow im shocked ... i have never purchased them in my life ❤
Isaiah resembles Abe Lincoln a bit. 😂 Love all you guys.
Rain is a blessing all over the world
We use both - paper for a quick sandwich - glass plates for pasta and sauce.
Did she have popcorn went entering the theater? That’s what help me 🤣
Hey I'm a single mom working 2 jobs, I'm lucky enough to get dinner cooked let alone get dishes washed. I live in an order home that doesn't have a dishwasher so that's not an option. I LOVVVVVVE me some paper plates.....I don't care who comes for me and my Dixie dishware 🤣🤣🤣
We use regular plates all the time too! How is that not standard? Paper plates in my house are rare these days.
We don’t use paper plates unless it’s a big event or family party
I live in the high desert and right now, the whole area is orange because of the smoke. We have the Line fire (Arrowhead) and the Bridge fire (Wrightwood) which is very close to us. We definitely need the water.
My Grama used paper plates after she turned 90-something because it was just easier for her. The rest of my household usually uses regular plates but if my parents go out of town, my sister and I do a mix of paper plates and regular just coz since it's just the two of us, we don't fill the dishwasher as quickly and sometimes we feel too lazy to wash by hand a lot haha
If y'all want to send your rain to us in southern Africa we would be grateful. Our drought is a problem as much as your excessive rain is.
Wow! Here in DK the theaters do not have a ramp up to enter the theater, it is all ground level. There are stairs down towards the screen, but there is a ground level row.
Used to use paper plates. Just started up again after years of not. Realizing we're going to run out of silverware before dishwasher is full.
I don't have a dishwasher in my apartment so I use paper plates with a plastic plate underneath for stability. I refuse to wash dishes in the sink every single day. When I get a dishwasher again then I will use washable plates again but until then, paper is the way to go for me
I guess you don’t have to worry about rain that often. The type of weather we have in So Illinois, I would have to be in that garage. 🤣
I don't use paper plates I grew up poor and we didn't use paper plates the entire time because paper plates are expensive
SO in order to make your plants bloom you need to put a fertilizer called bloom buster 10 10 10 . that is what my husband told me. He us to have a foliage nursery
Can you use an auxiliary pump connected to a hose while you work on the permanent pump? We use one in the winter to drain water off our pool cover…
Regular plates for meals only use paper plates for guick lunches
We use paper plates when budget allows for leftover for lunch or snacks
We use paper plates at Thamksgiving and Christmas. There is nothing wrong with that.
We use paper plates for everything. Even during the holidays.
We don’t have a dishwasher. So yes we will use paper plates. I do use regular plates. It’s more to help me out.
I live in Florida and always have mushrooms growing.
My hubby and I usually use paper plates. ❤
I always have paper plates in the house. Didn't use anything else til I moved and got a dishwasher
Beautiful
you can rent a pump to help with the water issue as you fix the other!
Be safe!
It's not a northern thing... we get types of wild mushrooms down here in Fort Worth, Texas.
I came to Jacksonville on the 4th of Sept, its literally rained every day since😢
Never used paper plates except for outdoors.
Regular plate person! Even for parties! (Unless large numbers)
We are on a well and it's not very deep so in summer we use paper plates so we don't run out of water.
We have regular plates for heavy meals or when family comes. We use paper daily or for snacks. We do not have a dishwasher and have lived here for 15 years. Paper just lightens the daily hand washing load.
Paper plates for parties but proper plates are the way to go.
I know we all complain about the weather we don’t want but I would give anything to have rain right now. A complete town a cpl hours away from me just burned to the ground. Seriously, the whole town is gone.
I’m alone now and I still use real plates unless I’m rushing to go somewhere. We use paper plates when we have parties at my sisters’ just because it’s easier. We are a family of 15 (used to be 16 before my dad passed in 2022).
It’s actually raining here right now and it hasn’t rained in probably a month. 😊
Hello, Miss Abigail and family 💜👋
Paper plate family here!
Yes paper plates every night kids are gone it's just my husband and I, even had done it for thanksgiving
