Yes. You have to pick up and be organized before the house cleaner comes! Ive had one for years and have given up so many things in order to keep her. It’s the BEST thing I do for my family!
Same here. We have given ours raises and bonuses. We were one of their only clients during covid (everybody else canceled) and we were trying to line up extra work for them. They’re darling ladies.
You are not alone- I love cloudy rainy days too ! Especially here in Texas any break in the hot sunshine is a welcome event in my opinion ! Glad you are vlogging again ! 💕💕💕💕
Thanks for sharing, it helps our motivation too . We are getting the same weather ( as your Monday ) here in Southern Ontario 🇨🇦. I don’t mind the lack of sun if it is warm enough to still wear shorts. A present Mum is a better Mum. Kids like a photo or two but the memories are the most precious. The videos are really only good for solving arguments decades later anyway…Lol
Love these vlogs!! Maybe you like overcast days because the musician in you is more introspective and can thrive in “rainy day” environments. I love a rainy day where I can just stay inside and work on my crafts…it’s like the weather sparks creativity. 😊
I'm also classically trained and now sing CCM with our church band. We don't usually have the sheet music, just the lead sheet, so it's been super challenging figuring out the notes from the recordings (which aren't usually in the key that works best for our team and congregation. I'm often relieved when I go to community choir and we have lovely printed music with normal rhythms). I do apply my training when I make or edit the lyric slides for projection to make the voice leading more intuitive. Hope this adventure goes well for you and the music team.
That’s one thing I’ve been working on. There are usually scores available for the new stuff. Some are better than others, but it has helped immensely to get real scores in the hands of the choir for the worship set. I can usually find them on praise charts, or lifeway. Semsen and prism has some good stuff, too, usually with orchestral accompaniment.
Thank you for these videos. God's got you with the choir. Contemporary music is different. People don't always understand. I went from a traditional choir background to a Contemporary team and it took me a couple of months to adjust as a singer. Still learning more every week. I agree with you about videotaping or taking pictures of your children's events. I felt like I was missing the actual event. I try to put my phone away now, even on vacation and just be present in the moment. God gave us a memory for a reason.
thanks for being open about your daily life. I respect that. As a stay st home mom I totally relate. Daily life keeps us busy. Thank you for all the work you do and for all you share with us. God bless you
I love your real life videos! They’re the best. Normalize being normal lol and doing normal things. Crave is delicious but oh my gosh, the cookies are huge! Also, as a main channel subscriber too, I think videos where you show how you shop a sale and meal plan is great inspiration. It shows how you can do that even if you can’t replicate the same meals. At least that’s how I use your videos and others like that. I take the strategy and apply it to my store and sales.
Tell you what: I was a choir/theater kid growing up and I loved that my high school recorded our shows so that we could get to see them afterwards because we experienced it from inside and we didn't get to see it from the outside. We could sit and watch it with our friends later and we often did sitting in the choir room. It was also an opportunity for family members who weren't able to make it to be able to see it and that was really special. My kiddo was a choir / theater kid as well and their school did not offer somebody to record it. That meant that family members who weren't in the area and couldn't travel didn't get to see what were sometimes really cool performances. I really missed having that opportunity. My dad was a photographer and he got great photographs of the kiddo and all of their friends in most of the shows that they did and those are really special as kid is all grown up and Dad has passed on.
This video made my mouth water! Your date-night food looked amazing too!! Blessings to you for all that you share with us here. I've come to love your vlog channel as much as your SMM channel! ♥
I LOVED the Aldi video, and I actually did make a list from the recipes and shopped the sales for the meal plan on Sunday! We're making the ribs, meatballs, and green chili chicken stew from your meal plan along with a couple of family favorites using the same sale ingredients. I really appreciated how much work went into the 24 hour turnaround and it has been fun to cook along. And sharing the meal planning made a hectic week much more manageable, so thank you for sharing that! The work you put in really made a difference for my family this week, and as a single mom having help is a real treat.
Thank you so much for taking the time to tell me that, I really appreciate it. The video did pretty well, too, so I’ll probably do the same thing again soon. I have a couple sponsored videos the next few weeks so I have to get those done, but then I might just do the Aldi sale and meal plan theme again!
Hi Mindy! Just want to tell you how much I enjoy these real life vlogs. Thank you so much for sharing! Do have one question tho: often see when you're in your kitchen filming what looks like a spice rack door. Is that just a door to your pantry you always leave open? Or???? Thanks, Mindy!
I appreciate showing us real life. Not every life or home is picture worthy.
You seeing your husband outside walking, the same time he’s whistling at you was my favorite part! Super cute!
Hello Mindy, thank you for sharing your life with us.
My pleasure, thanks for watching!

Love the vlog Mindy. I love that you schedule date night, it's so important 💚
I love your regular life vlogs! 👌🏼
Nice to be cozy inside on a bad weather day...
I love these videos. Thanks for sharing your everyday life with us❣️

Haha! That’s so true on the arguments!
Mindy, I’m loving the vlogs!
Me, too! 🥰❤️👋🙏
Your video made sense. Thanks for keeping things real. ♥️

That’s an interesting hypothesis, I had never thought of that! You make a good point!
I enjoy this raw look into your life. I totally agree about being present in events and not viewing it through a screen.
So happy to see you bring the vlog back! Thanks for taking us along!😊❤

I'm with you, I Love overcast days! (Not every day, but they are a refreshing break from sun and heat)
Thank you for highlighting the Aldi sales... I bought A LOT of Gala apples! ❤😂
I'm so bad a filming things bc I love watching my daughter too, I wish I was better bc it is nice to capture those moments and relive them at times
I had no idea you had a vlog channel too. I just subscribed. Thanks for sharing your week in the life.

I'm the same! 🌧️ Dreary, cloudy days are a nice treat after such long summers in CA. We cooled off, but now are having a heat wave here too..
We had that heat wave a couple weeks back. Still not entirely fall yet here, but the mornings are nice. Hang in there!

Thank you thank you, for showing that there are NORMAL MOMS OUT HERE 😊
That’s my goal with these vlogs!
I’m with you on filming kids events. Quick snippets to remember but I would rather enjoy the event live!

I don’t know how you do it with three. Marching band with one has filled up almost everyday of October. Looking forward to the calm of November.
I like rainy cool days too! Makes me feel like cooking some soup or stew and reading!
100% yes, and drinking multiple cups of coffee 😂
This video made my mouth water! Your date-night food looked amazing too!! Blessings to you for all that you share with us here. I've come to love your vlog channel as much as your SMM channel! ♥

Glad I’m not alone!
Nice work

Experience in the moment! Yes!!!!

Yes, it’s the door to the pantry, and yes, it’s pretty much always open 😂
Love your hair longer!
I used to run too, now at 65 , I dont think it's in my bucket anymore!
Hi, Mindy, Did you leave a link for the Cheesy Sausage Pasta? If so, I can't find it. 😞 Thanks for (re-) posting it.
Thank you for reminding me. It should be there now! :)
@@seemindyvlog4834 It is! Thanks, Mindy.
God is always faithful to equip where He calls! ❤
Here is South Florida it's been soo soo hot and I'm looking forward to a dreary day at home so I can have an excuse not to go 100 miles an hour!
Good job at not watching life from behind a video camera! That is my goal too...to simply enjoy the moments. I don't need to record everything!
What is your walking plan? Time? distance? Steps?
I don’t really have one. I try to get 10K steps a day. I use couch to 5K when I’m jogging.
