I know you can't read all your comments but just in case.I found your channel last Christmas,I couldn't sleep so it was three AM.I got a phone call on the morning of Christmas Eve that my dad passed away in his bed .I had talked to him the night before and we laughed and ended our call with I love you.I was sick at the time not knowing what was wrong , turned out I have stage four cancer.I am 53 and I had someone tell me at least my kids are in college and not young kids.What does that even mean my dad dieing didn't hurt less just because I am old.I was pretty mad and hearing the faith that you have helped me out alot.Thank you for sharing with me and helping when you didn't even know it.Please pray for my family.Being sick is so expensive and I have no one to help me but we have food and a roof over our head .I try so hard to be greatful but I still go through feel sorry for myself times so pray I can stop that .I am so thankful for you.❤❤❤
You and your family are definitely in mine and Shane’s prayers! ❤❤❤❤ I know it can’t be easy going through what you are going through! Hold tight to Jesus! We love you and will bring you before Him! ❤
I am so proud of you! I love your little family. Your videos keep me entertained; I look forward to them. I have a diaphragm/lung disease and I am on oxygen 24/7. I also have bulging discs in my back, a back disease and osteoarthritis. I can barely walk and I need assistance just getting a drink. Now, my husband has lost his job. I could use any prayers that come my way. Keep being you, you are special.
I love all your new efforts on your mobile mansion ❤. I will share my story with you. Three years ago we moved from our 5000sq ft home to our hobby horse farm. We had owned this property for twenty five years. It’s a five acre place with a 2200 sq ft manufactured home and barns and out buildings. From this humble place we bred some very well known National champion Arabian horses but we never lived here. Now we do. We have worked like dogs to remodel it. It’s very cozy now. We own it and considering how things are going I now realize what a massive blessing this huge downsizing has been. Jesus has sheltered us and blessed us over and over
I think I started crying before you did when 1 of the girls said “your pretty” and then when Colton came in and said you’re amazing at it”. OMG what a treasure you have in your babies. And because you have on YT you’ll will be able to look back on these moments when they’re grown and on their own😊❤
Oh if I was closer to Tennessee o know with out a doubt we could be best friends!!!! I love love love your channel! And I love the transparency of life! And I LOVE me some Jesus!
I've learned that people who try to say things to make you feel more positive about an awful hard situation don't realize what an emotional rollercoaster you are on and how much pain has filled your heart from...life. Life that has never been promised from GOD that it would be easy...and it's not. Not for God loving, God fearing people! And we all know why. A preacher said "If Satan ain't bothering you, you ain't living for God!" Have found this true but having God in my heart and life is worth every kick boxing match i've had to fight with evil! God will provide strength, knowledge and LOTS OF LOVE!! Prayers for you and your family and I'm so sorry for the loss of your dad but so happy you were blessed with the heart warming talk and laughter you shared and that you can go over and over that in your heart!(I did this when I lost my baby brother at a very young age😢), and it helped get through a many of a hard lonely night🙏
I still have about ten more minutes left to watch. But I just wanted to say, I’m really really loving all the Christian music playing throughout the video. When the world is in chaos and sometimes its can be a bit overwhelming when you just listen to worship music you feel the peace that only Jesus can give us just wash right over us 💗 I watch your videos to unwind and relax and be encouraged and I really loved that about this particular video. I have so much to be thankful for! 🥹 Thank you Rina for doing what you do and for working every day to be the person God has called you to be/sharing the love of Jesus with us every week!
Cry over your children being such sweethearts. I teared up right with you. Your kids will talk to you the way the are talked to and what they hear. So it shows that your and your husband are showing them how to treat others. Love it.
Wow! A DG with fresh produce?!? I wish I had one like that near me! Don't kids just touch your heart. My little grandson said the other day, Grandma, when you tell me you love me, it makes my eyes water 🥹🥹❤ Love you all! So happy to see everyone enjoying your new home ❤
Absolutely love watching you. I lost my daddy just a few days ago and just listening to your voice calms me. I haven't wanted to get out of bed but I keep hearing "let's do the daggone thing" and even though I'm grieving I know that God wouldn't want me to get lost in it. Your shirt on this video helped me more than you will ever know. Keep being you we love you
Your kids are amazing. Colton just blows me away; he's so thoughtful and caring just like Shane and you have taught them such great values and kindness. Merina you are a great person, wife, and mom!
I just had to let you know that I just sat here and cried like a baby for all the sweet things your kids were saying to you. Your babies are so precious. What an amazing gift from God
Marina, I have 2 great recipes for muffins, 1 spice cake mix 1 can plain pumpkin , mix those 2 things together, add 1 cup chocolate chips , spoon into prepared muffin pans, number 2 , 1 spice cake mix 3 mashed bananas, 2 eggs mix all together spoon into muffin pans these are sooooo good. Let me know if you like them.❤
Love you and your family. When your children came in, they said that you’re pretty and you’re amazing at your skin care routine, that brought a tear to my eye. That shows that you raise a beautiful family, the morals and values… Their sweetness and kindness shows through and that’s what the rest of the world needs especially these times and days!!!
I love how you responded to your daughter when she complimented you❤ your kids are so sweet. Us mommas will cry over those things because it means the whole world.
Hi Marina, my name is Jerline. I'm from Trinidad, and I recently found your channel, and I find it to be very inspiring and motivational. God bless you and your family in Jesus' name 🙏
The last part of your video I get. Your kids reflect off you. ❤ I was so proud over my 13 year old daughter taking the high road and apologizing to another girl for talking behind her back. She called her in the phone and said she was wrong and sorry for it. They made up. When she hung the phone up I cried. I cried because I’m teaching her how to love and the love of God. We are molding our babies.
You did a great job mama! Thanks to the love from nanny that she gave you and the love you share with your darling husband! God bless your beautiful family 💜💜💜
Merina, I watch every single video, but have never commented. I just had to let you know that when your kids were complimenting you, I teared up. I don't even have children and it melted my heart. You are raising them right girl. Keep up the great work! God bless you and your awesome family ❤❤❤❤❤❤
I have been a long time subscriber. I actually crave your content. My husband pokes fun and says “you watching that faithfully made again?” 😂 I actually had a dream that we were hanging out cleaning together a few nights ago 😂 But I did want to say that I never grew up religious, I didn’t grow up in the church, and I’ve always known the bare minimum. I made the decision last week at 34 years old, that I was going to commit to learning the Bible. I’m in the process of listening to it audibly. I wanted to let you know that you influenced me to open my heart to God and I appreciate you for it. ❤ Bless you and your sweet family. You’ve truly helped me become a better human.
You do have the sweetest children ❤I am so glad you have invited us into your family this channel is such a blessing . God Bless your sweet little family and God Bless everyone watching. ❤
Two years ago we (my husband and myself) has the privilege of visiting Tennessee. Wow what a beautiful state! I told my husband I want to move. I prayed about it. Well my husband got diagnosed with stage four cancer so I took that as a NO. it has been a very hard and difficult road, but God is with us each day. I can’t imagine going through this without our Lord and Savior!✝️✝️✝️ I still wish I could move but we both were born and raised in Minnesota and our kids are here and they have been a blessing with this journey.
Praying for you, so sorry about your husband. I live in California but grew up in Minnesota. I wish I could move back there! I miss all the green and trees and the seasons! But I don't miss the mosquitos. I think Minnesota is a beautiful state. I loved going to visit Duluth in the fall and the drive up around Lake Superior.
Hello 👋 how are you doing today? I hope this year brings happiness, peace and love all over the world I’m originally from Canada 🇨🇦 grow up in Fort Worth Texas, currently living in Key West Florida. Where are you from if i may ask?
@@nancyann1090 Hello 👋 how are you doing today? I hope this year brings happiness, peace and love all over the world I’m originally from Canada 🇨🇦 grow up in Fort Worth Texas, currently living in Key West Florida. Where are you from if i may ask?
I love the heart you have for Jesus. What a blessing you have been to so many through these vlogs. I don’t spend much of any time watching vlogs but truly look forward to watching you share your days and chatting with us.
I love how Shane does not fuss ever when you buy “your” necessities ie. 1 pen lol. I’ve never heard him fuss about anything you buy or want. I know we see into only a little piece of your lives but you guys are so genuine and gentle that an expression would give it away and he never has…..I use to dread going anywhere with my ex because he’d find something to fuss about, either I bought too much or I didn’t get what was needed ( not true) I always bought for the kids and him, I always would put my wants aside…I guess that’s a big “Y” he’s the ex. I love the dynamics of your family❤❤❤❤❤❤
Yes, Shane is rare. When you've experienced a life with an ex that was walking on eggshells and more, you know a gem when you see it. I 🙏🏻your life is full people who appreciate all that you have to offer.
I Agree about Shane.. He reminds me of my boys dad..my ex husband..sweet and thoughtful..never a harsh word! You have a life that so many would love love to have. Don't ever let that go. God has truly joined you two together..he blessed you both!
I enjoy your videos so much. I'm a 62 year young woman. You are blessed girl very much so. Maybe try getting your son to learn how to do laundry? And he could start with just the boys things. It really helps them out more to learn these life skills, never to young. I wish I would have taught mine sooner. Enjoy so much just watching your husband do his hauls..... He makes me smile every time. Keep being the best version of you. Thanks for showing your kids a good example of a marriage. Glad to be on this next adventure with the you. God's blessings on you.
Your "introduction" of yourself and family is soo sweet. I'm so happy to see a momma and creator so proud of Jesus and unapologetically represents for Him 😊💙love your channel
Thank you for being there for my lady and I! Your sharing your life helps us in ours! Sometimes we let too many things drag us down...You are a God Send!
The house and yard is looking amazing I am so happy for your family, you all deserve this blessing from the good Lord... You are an amazing wife,mother, teacher and homemaker! I adore you! 🧡
I have been watching for a while now and never commented. Wanted to say hello to you and to your people on here also…. so, hello! I am enjoying EVERY video and look forward to the new ones so much. You have encouraged me so much as a stay at home mom with an autistic daughter. She is our blessing. ❤
You make me laugh everytime no matter what kind of day I'm having. Your joy is infectious. And you're definitely smokin' past Merina. Praise God for making all things new! 🙏💕
I'm a high school teacher out in Utah. I am a mom of 4, and grandma of 10 and FEARFULLY CREATED is my favorite TH-cam channel! Thanks for the positivity and honesty, Merina! God bless you and your sweet family!
Merina, the happyness that lives in your family is so beautiful to see and hear. That is so smart to check their school work when they are done working on it. Have you ever told God how thankful you are that you have all those clothes to wash and dishes to do? It changed my life when I did. Now that im a widow its the simple everyday things you miss doing for your family.God bless you and your beautiful family.🐶🙏🤗💜
God bless you Marina! Glad y’all are thriving in your new home! Please pray for me and those around me! I feel distant from the Lord and am worried about my financial situation. Please also pray for Israel, Ukraine and all the people and animals all over the world! Love you all! God bless y’all! ❤️🍁
One of my fave laundry hacks. Serves a couple of purposes. SMALLER LOADS! Clothes get cleaner AND it tricks my brain because there’s not as much to fold at one time. Even if I have Mt Everest in my laundry room I do smaller loads. It works! ❤ you’re my favorite TH-camr. Such a bright spot in a scary world. Reminds me to keep my eyes and heart on Jesus.
Merina. You just radiate the love of Jesus. ❤ thank you for being a part of my journey without even realizing. I’m glad to be a part of yours!! Love you sister in Christ!!
Have you thought about having the kids help by switching the clothes from the washer to the dryer and turning it on? That would be a good chore for them to start learning.😊
Is it just me, or do any of y'all klemp up when you hear little one's repeating the words of our LORD? Tears just immediately spring to my eyes & I get that lump in my throat. Two of my best memories are when I heard my son, & now his son, say "Amen" when they were just learning to talk. It just does this old heart good to know that there are still good parents out there teaching their children about Jesus. God bless you & yours. We love you Merina💖💖💖
You are reminding me of my thirties so much! I did a lot of reflecting in my 30’s….realized I was building the family I did not have growing up. I see that in you. Giving your kids all the love and support that you might have missed from your mom? My mom left us when I was 12. We were loved and cared for but not by mom. So my kids and husband got all of me. That was how I coped. I was there 100% and my family still is my world. You have a beautiful loving faith filled home that shines with the love of Jesus. You are getting the dang thing done sweetie and the laundry will always be there waiting☺️☺️☺️
Yay!!🎉 a Christian song finally!! I always got the lyrics of the background songs stuck in my head for days but they were mostly about dating and partying so far. Please keep the worship/meaningful songs! Thank you❤❤
Sending all of my love from NYC, I am so excited and happy for you all, you're such a beautiful and inspirational family... would appreciate some prayers, my family has been through so so much these last few years, we would appreciate blessings and prayers A Thank you for opening your lives, you are truly special and gracious, I am so glad that I found you 💖
I love how real you are!!! And those kids are the sweetest!!!! They were speaking the truth!!!! You are beautiful inside and out!! Don’t ever forget that. 😊
Today I am focusing on how not to be distressed in a scary world , to know that god has plans for me knowing that he’s in control and I’ll be stronger after the storm and then I hear the sweet little voice of your daughter reminding me that he’s with me though it . Chocked me up a little . Sending much love from Maine 💕 tell her thank you for that reminder and that god used her to comfort me.
Girl I absolutely love you and your family!!! So many people are on TH-cam these days its hard to figure out who is real and who is fake but not with you!!! Your a real person that doesnt have to have everything perfect. I'm so glad I found your channel!!! Love like Jesus does without him we are nothing and those comments from the babies really hits a Momma's heart strings!!! Besides Jesus they are the most precious gifts we will ever have!!!
Hello 👋 how are you doing today? I hope this year brings happiness, peace and love all over the world I’m originally from Canada 🇨🇦 grow up in Fort Worth Texas, currently living in Key West Florida. Where are you from if i may ask?
You are giving your kids so many wonderful gifts like being home with them, homeschooling, and teaching them about our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. I’m thankful there are mommas in this world who are teaching their precious little ones.
I love that tile in your kitchen (the wall), Merina! Also, great song to start the video. Thank you for making a new video for us to enjoy. I really do like to watch your videos. It's like having a friend. I just threw in a load of laundry because you mentioned laundry, lol. Thank you! 😄
Merina, I don’t have ADHD and I still sometimes forget about a load in the wash. I started setting a timer and then I had a back up timer. When that timer goes off, I have to go address the laundry. Have you tried that? Good luck. !
The sweet moment at the end - I had tears too!! What sweet children you have! I’m so happy to have these day in the life style videos back, they give me so much peace and help me to remember my priorities in life. Thanks for sharing your life with us!
I think we must be twins! You had the Crocktober thing going, you make to do lists, you have to schedule time for reading too. We have so much in common! And what a blessing those kids are. They love you so much❤
Hi my beautiful sister in Christ!! First off I loved the music . Thank you for that. We share our love for Christ and our families and others. Thank you so much for the content you put out there that young women can still be Christian’s and be content about not trying to be like anybody else . Anyway I love y’all so so much !! Have a blessed weekend my darlings .
You are the most loved wife and mother. It is rare to see a wonderful family like yours. I’m new and been looking at some of your videos and love them.
Idk if anyone else has said this and please don’t take it the wrong way bc I mean no offense. Scented tp is bad for your hooha. 😬 I also want to add that you have the sweetest most kind babies. You and Shane are doing an amazing job raising those tiny humans. ❤
Merina, you are wonderful! I love your sense of humor, your crock pot cooking and your dear family but most importantly your love of Jesus! I'm recently diagnosed and getting chemotherapy for breast cancer. When I can't sleep you are my company Merina! I don't believe in accidents I believe God led me to your channel! He uses our gifts in unexpected ways Merina. God is blessing me with you! ❤
As you know, I love your whole family and your videos. Tonight I broke out in tears when your daughter said you were pretty and Colton said you were amazing. You and Shzne are terrific parents. You are teaching your children well love for our Savior, love for family and hearts full of goodness. God is Good ❤
I am a 62 year old mama, grand mamama, and wife to my sweet husband of 43 years.I did daycare for over 25 years so other mamas who felt the need to work had a safe, happy and loving place where I could love on their children and still be able to stay home with my 2 sons.. I love your "real life", things on this video are REAL. I mean, you even left you rolled down the little hill by the deck...I just love your videos... I am also so happy that you found your dream home. We bought our"fixer upper" 5 1/2 years ago, and we are slowly making it our own. It is our little farmhouse in town... we love it...
It's so good to see your beautiful family settling in and enjoying your dream home. You are so right, those memories are so important. Today is 15 years since my mom went home with our heavenly father. The memories are all I got. God bless y'all. ❤ from WV.
So proud you were able to post again this week. I miss your videos. ❤ You are among a handful of friends on here that I watch every time. I just love y’all! You’re such sweet people. God bless you and your precious family. 🙏🏼❤️
I'm crying with you 😢❤ your children are amazing 🤩 just like their mom and dad ❤❤ I'm so glad that I found your channel. My husband changed jobs and I can't sleep at night when he's gone. Your channel brings comfort to me. There's been a lot of tragedy in my family the past few years and it's so hard to pick up the pieces and go on sometimes ❤ love you y'all so much
I love that you always talk about your faith. It really helps me to not lose my faith. That I should be seeking god not just in situations where we are praying asking for favors but just thankful of what we’ve been given. It’s really hard not to question why he does some things like my son being born with stage 4 kidney disease and needing a transplant this year. Then this year makes 2 years since my 6 year old niece passed. (We didn’t know she was born without and spleen and got really sick out of the blue but it was too late) Prayer’s please needed for my family my other niece Alyssa was in a ATV accident and they had to remove and put back together her intestines. She’s only 10 years old she’s been in the hospital for a week now. My family has really been struggling with these events in our families.
I thought of you the other day, when i saw a sweatshirt that said, "I want to be so full of Jesus, that when a mosquito bites me, he flies away singing There's power in the blood"!!! Keep up the great work!!❤😊
Merina, I always told my kids that I would teach them the tools they would need to (household) live on their own and manage their life. And they wouldnt be with someone to be taken care of....they would share their life with someone because they loved them. I was a stickler on clean clothes, so I did the laundry...my daughter told me she wishes I had shown her how. Smaller loads, what colors to wash together, when to use the right water temperature and what to air dry. Its a gift to give that tool in their belt for housekeeping. Teaching them now would be good. I enjoy viewing your channel because you are honest, sincere and genuine...you are the "one" friend that would tell someone the truth with love❤ Bless you and your family.
If you do have a dishwasher and it's not working put your dishes in there to dry. Keeps your counters clean. Cammy has grown so much. Love the girls. They are something. Colton is so sweet. He always says the sweetest things. I know you get overwhelmed sometimes but you are doing great!! Love you bunches
Drinking water clears the toxins out of your body. So your face is breaking out because it’s getting rid of toxins, dirt, oil, etc that you don’t need. Water also cleanses toxins out via your kidneys. So, the more water you drink the clearer your skin will eventually become and your body will start shedding weight. By the way, you’ve always been beautiful. I cry too when my kids say something sweet about me. It’s because I have never had a lot of confidence and when they say something sweet it just makes me feel so loved and like maybe I’m doing something right by having such sweet kids. ❤ You’re doing a great job! You’re a wonderful mom, wife, person, and your son AMAZING Christian woman! ❤
Hello my awesome sauce bestie I miss commenting.., please keep me in your prayers friend the loss of my Dj hit a year sep25th and my soul is hurting bad!! Your channel lifts up my spirit!! God bless you guys
Oh my heart!! Thank you beautiful friend for your videos. I just get so blessed! Cammie looks like he has gotten so much taller 😍 the girls are so adorable 🥰 and Colton saying such sweet words! I was “not” crying with you 😊
O marina thank you so much for the Bible verse The Lord is near to the broken-hearted. I lost my daughter a week ago and that is the verse I’m holding onto with everything in me. Your the best!!!!
Your children are so beautiful inside and out and that is a testament of how you and Shane have raised them. Blessings to both of you. I cried with you too after Colton said that. You are so blessed and you bless all of us on your channel. I feel so happy when I see you have a video being posted. My husband and I are moving into another home in a few weeks. Our new landlord is very nice but I hate packing and moving. I’m disabled and my husband needs neck surgery so we have to rely on others for help. Please pray that I can find some people to help us. Thank you. P. S. You are winning over the past Merina!!! ❤️❤️
Your Babies are so precious the way that they encourage you with so much love it touched this mama’s heart ,so sweetheart go ahead and feel those mama’s moments 🥰🥰🥰🥰
I can fight my own battles and if I dont fight them, they aren't fit to fight! LOVE that statement and its such an important lesson!! I say all the time, not my pasture,not my bull! Another good lesson 😂
She's an incredibly wise lady...and she does ot with humor and love. She's younger than me, but I learn something about myself, or something helpful for me, every single video. A national treasure..the entire family.
I know you can't read all your comments but just in case.I found your channel last Christmas,I couldn't sleep so it was three AM.I got a phone call on the morning of Christmas Eve that my dad passed away in his bed .I had talked to him the night before and we laughed and ended our call with I love you.I was sick at the time not knowing what was wrong , turned out I have stage four cancer.I am 53 and I had someone tell me at least my kids are in college and not young kids.What does that even mean my dad dieing didn't hurt less just because I am old.I was pretty mad and hearing the faith that you have helped me out alot.Thank you for sharing with me and helping when you didn't even know it.Please pray for my family.Being sick is so expensive and I have no one to help me but we have food and a roof over our head .I try so hard to be greatful but I still go through feel sorry for myself times so pray I can stop that .I am so thankful for you.❤❤❤
You and your family are definitely in mine and Shane’s prayers! ❤❤❤❤ I know it can’t be easy going through what you are going through! Hold tight to Jesus! We love you and will bring you before Him! ❤
Praying for you and your family as you go through this season of life
🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻 sent your way sweet sister
Sending many prayers to you & your family.🙏❤️ Keep your faith! Believe! Prayers are strong & God will heal. 🙏🙏
It’s not easy when someone you love passes and also your feelings are so validated. Positive vibes your way, stay strong! You got this! 💐
I am so proud of you! I love your little family. Your videos keep me entertained; I look forward to them. I have a diaphragm/lung disease and I am on oxygen 24/7. I also have bulging discs in my back, a back disease and osteoarthritis. I can barely walk and I need assistance just getting a drink. Now, my husband has lost his job. I could use any prayers that come my way. Keep being you, you are special.
I'm not in competition with no-one but past Merina. Oh my goodness what a statement..right on sister!
That comment hit home with me too ❤
I love all your new efforts on your mobile mansion ❤. I will share my story with you. Three years ago we moved from our 5000sq ft home to our hobby horse farm. We had owned this property for twenty five years. It’s a five acre place with a 2200 sq ft manufactured home and barns and out buildings. From this humble place we bred some very well known National champion Arabian horses but we never lived here. Now we do. We have worked like dogs to remodel it. It’s very cozy now. We own it and considering how things are going I now realize what a massive blessing this huge downsizing has been. Jesus has sheltered us and blessed us over and over

I cried too he’s such a blessing and all the baby’s are
I cried too!! Sweet kiddos❤
Oh if I was closer to Tennessee o know with out a doubt we could be best friends!!!! I love love love your channel! And I love the transparency of life! And I LOVE me some Jesus!
I cried right along with everyone else, your kids are truly amazing❤
I cried, too. You are so blessed. You have a loving husband and children.

Prayers for you and your family and I'm so sorry for the loss of your dad but so happy you were blessed with the heart warming talk and laughter you shared and that you can go over and over that in your heart!(I did this when I lost my baby brother at a very young age😢), and it helped get through a many of a hard lonely night🙏

Love you all! So happy to see everyone enjoying your new home ❤
What darling little grandson. That comment to you made MY eyes water.
"SHE'S AMAZING AT IT"
kids are the most ruthless and loving truth tellers on the planet!!
** I heard you put the moisturizer on and rub upwards to help defy gravity! If you rub down you push the skin down!!
Marina you are awesome. Don’t put yourself down. I love your honesty about your life and your love forJesus.
Absolutely love watching you. I lost my daddy just a few days ago and just listening to your voice calms me. I haven't wanted to get out of bed but I keep hearing "let's do the daggone thing" and even though I'm grieving I know that God wouldn't want me to get lost in it. Your shirt on this video helped me more than you will ever know. Keep being you we love you
Your kids are amazing. Colton just blows me away; he's so thoughtful and caring just like Shane and you have taught them such great values and kindness. Merina you are a great person, wife, and mom!
I just had to let you know that I just sat here and cried like a baby for all the sweet things your kids were saying to you. Your babies are so precious. What an amazing gift from God
Those mommy moments cries are the best. They get right in the heart.
Cry all you want girl, that just shows that you're doing something right to get a great compliment from your kiddos.😊
Marina, I have 2 great recipes for muffins, 1 spice cake mix 1 can plain pumpkin , mix those 2 things together, add 1 cup chocolate chips , spoon into prepared muffin pans, number 2 , 1 spice cake mix 3 mashed bananas, 2 eggs mix all together spoon into muffin pans these are sooooo good. Let me know if you like them.❤
I add 1/4 C oil to that banana bread recipe! Love both of those recipes! Also, one can crushed pineapple and a box mix of angel food cake.
@@Kathyathomesounds delicious - thanks for sharing!
Love you and your family. When your children came in, they said that you’re pretty and you’re amazing at your skin care routine, that brought a tear to my eye. That shows that you raise a beautiful family, the morals and values… Their sweetness and kindness shows through and that’s what the rest of the world needs especially these times and days!!!
I see you two as each others guardian angels. You are the best parents for those beautiful children
Your kids made me cry! So sweet and amazing! You're so blessed with a beautiful family. Jesus is my family. Blessings! 🥰💗
I love how you responded to your daughter when she complimented you❤ your kids are so sweet. Us mommas will cry over those things because it means the whole world.
Girl I love you are teaching your children. Also teaching your children about the lord. Yes and teaching them about world history.
Hi Marina, my name is Jerline. I'm from Trinidad, and I recently found your channel, and I find it to be very inspiring and motivational. God bless you and your family in Jesus' name 🙏
She’s amazing I hope you keep watching our loving and supportive community ❤❤
😊
I cried with you Merina...When my 6 year old son tells me...I'm the most beautiful girl in the world and that he loves me...I cry!! ❤
The last part of your video I get. Your kids reflect off you. ❤ I was so proud over my 13 year old daughter taking the high road and apologizing to another girl for talking behind her back. She called her in the phone and said she was wrong and sorry for it. They made up. When she hung the phone up I cried. I cried because I’m teaching her how to love and the love of God. We are molding our babies.
Your children are the sweetest! I can tell by how loving thy are towards you that they see love demonstrated in your home. 💕
Your babies just melt my heart when they're being so sweet to you. ❤
You did a great job mama! Thanks to the love from nanny that she gave you and the love you share with your darling husband! God bless your beautiful family 💜💜💜
Merina, I watch every single video, but have never commented. I just had to let you know that when your kids were complimenting you, I teared up. I don't even have children and it melted my heart. You are raising them right girl. Keep up the great work! God bless you and your awesome family ❤❤❤❤❤❤
I have been a long time subscriber. I actually crave your content. My husband pokes fun and says “you watching that faithfully made again?” 😂 I actually had a dream that we were hanging out cleaning together a few nights ago 😂
But I did want to say that I never grew up religious, I didn’t grow up in the church, and I’ve always known the bare minimum. I made the decision last week at 34 years old, that I was going to commit to learning the Bible. I’m in the process of listening to it audibly. I wanted to let you know that you influenced me to open my heart to God and I appreciate you for it. ❤
Bless you and your sweet family. You’ve truly helped me become a better human.
I'm watching you fold the clothes and it looks like Cammie grew a foot taller since you've moved from the trailer park, it must be that country air ❤
That was my first thought too!!
You do have the sweetest children ❤I am so glad you have invited us into your family this channel is such a blessing . God Bless your sweet little family and God Bless everyone watching. ❤
Two years ago we (my husband and myself) has the privilege of visiting Tennessee. Wow what a beautiful state! I told my husband I want to move. I prayed about it. Well my husband got diagnosed with stage four cancer so I took that as a NO. it has been a very hard and difficult road, but God is with us each day. I can’t imagine going through this without our Lord and Savior!✝️✝️✝️ I still wish I could move but we both were born and raised in Minnesota and our kids are here and they have been a blessing with this journey.
Praying for you, so sorry about your husband. I live in California but grew up in Minnesota. I wish I could move back there! I miss all the green and trees and the seasons! But I don't miss the mosquitos. I think Minnesota is a beautiful state. I loved going to visit Duluth in the fall and the drive up around Lake Superior.
@@nancyann1090 thank you! So sweet of you. My brother moved to California but he passed away in March.
Hello 👋 how are you doing today? I hope this year brings happiness, peace and love all over the world I’m originally from Canada 🇨🇦 grow up in Fort Worth Texas, currently living in Key West Florida. Where are you from if i may ask?

I love the heart you have for Jesus. What a blessing you have been to so many through these vlogs. I don’t spend much of any time watching vlogs but truly look forward to watching you share your days and chatting with us.
I love how Shane does not fuss ever when you buy “your” necessities ie. 1 pen lol. I’ve never heard him fuss about anything you buy or want. I know we see into only a little piece of your lives but you guys are so genuine and gentle that an expression would give it away and he never has…..I use to dread going anywhere with my ex because he’d find something to fuss about, either I bought too much or I didn’t get what was needed ( not true) I always bought for the kids and him, I always would put my wants aside…I guess that’s a big “Y” he’s the ex. I love the dynamics of your family❤❤❤❤❤❤
Yes, Shane is rare. When you've experienced a life with an ex that was walking on eggshells and more, you know a gem when you see it. I 🙏🏻your life is full people who appreciate all that you have to offer.
I Agree about Shane.. He reminds me of my boys dad..my ex husband..sweet and thoughtful..never a harsh word! You have a life that so many would love love to have. Don't ever let that go. God has truly joined you two together..he blessed you both!
I enjoy your videos so much. I'm a 62 year young woman. You are blessed girl very much so. Maybe try getting your son to learn how to do laundry? And he could start with just the boys things. It really helps them out more to learn these life skills, never to young. I wish I would have taught mine sooner. Enjoy so much just watching your husband do his hauls..... He makes me smile every time. Keep being the best version of you. Thanks for showing your kids a good example of a marriage. Glad to be on this next adventure with the you. God's blessings on you.
Your "introduction" of yourself and family is soo sweet. I'm so happy to see a momma and creator so proud of Jesus and unapologetically represents for Him 😊💙love your channel
Thank you for being there for my lady and I! Your sharing your life helps us in ours! Sometimes we let too many things drag us down...You are a God Send!
The house and yard is looking amazing I am so happy for your family, you all deserve this blessing from the good Lord... You are an amazing wife,mother, teacher and homemaker! I adore you! 🧡
You go ahead and cry, you have wonderful children! They are so full of the love of Jesus. Miss seeing Binx and Tater!
I have been watching for a while now and never commented. Wanted to say hello to you and to your people on here also…. so, hello! I am enjoying EVERY video and look forward to the new ones so much. You have encouraged me so much as a stay at home mom with an autistic daughter.
She is our blessing. ❤
You cry girl! Your kids are a reflection of you. Enjoy every minute of their childhood, it goes by so fast. Love watching always. 🥰
You make me laugh everytime no matter what kind of day I'm having. Your joy is infectious. And you're definitely smokin' past Merina. Praise God for making all things new! 🙏💕
I'm a high school teacher out in Utah. I am a mom of 4, and grandma of 10 and FEARFULLY CREATED is my favorite TH-cam channel! Thanks for the positivity and honesty, Merina! God bless you and your sweet family!
The ending of this video, with your kids coming to you and saying such sweet things to you and you tearing up was the sweetest moment.
Merina, the happyness that lives in your family is so beautiful to see and hear. That is so smart to check their school work when they are done working on it.
Have you ever told God how thankful you are that you have all those clothes to wash and dishes to do? It changed my life when I did. Now that im a widow its the simple everyday things you miss doing for your family.God bless you and your beautiful family.🐶🙏🤗💜
Lotsa love to all today ❤ in this crazy world it’s nice to see a community of loving and caring people. Thank you Merina
You have a darling kitchen❤️❤️
God bless you Marina! Glad y’all are thriving in your new home! Please pray for me and those around me! I feel distant from the Lord and am worried about my financial situation. Please also pray for Israel, Ukraine and all the people and animals all over the world! Love you all! God bless y’all! ❤️🍁
❤️🙏🏻
@@sarahconner8287 Thank you, Sarah Conner!
I’m 32 too! Love your personality, and love that you love the Lord.
One of my fave laundry hacks. Serves a couple of purposes. SMALLER LOADS! Clothes get cleaner AND it tricks my brain because there’s not as much to fold at one time. Even if I have Mt Everest in my laundry room I do smaller loads. It works! ❤ you’re my favorite TH-camr. Such a bright spot in a scary world. Reminds me to keep my eyes and heart on Jesus.
🎶and I'm so happy so very happy, I've got the love of Jesus in my heart🎶 love y'all!!! ❤
You and Shane have raised some wonderful children! I am in tears seeing them love on their Mama! ❤
Merina. You just radiate the love of Jesus. ❤ thank you for being a part of my journey without even realizing. I’m glad to be a part of yours!! Love you sister in Christ!!
Have you thought about having the kids help by switching the clothes from the washer to the dryer and turning it on? That would be a good chore for them to start learning.😊
Is it just me, or do any of y'all klemp up when you hear little one's repeating the words of our LORD? Tears just immediately spring to my eyes & I get that lump in my throat. Two of my best memories are when I heard my son, & now his son, say "Amen" when they were just learning to talk. It just does this old heart good to know that there are still good parents out there teaching their children about Jesus. God bless you & yours. We love you Merina💖💖💖
You are reminding me of my thirties so much! I did a lot of reflecting in my 30’s….realized I was building the family I did not have growing up. I see that in you. Giving your kids all the love and support that you might have missed from your mom? My mom left us when I was 12. We were loved and cared for but not by mom. So my kids and husband got all of me. That was how I coped. I was there 100% and my family still is my world. You have a beautiful loving faith filled home that shines with the love of Jesus. You are getting the dang thing done sweetie and the laundry will always be there waiting☺️☺️☺️
Yay!!🎉 a Christian song finally!! I always got the lyrics of the background songs stuck in my head for days but they were mostly about dating and partying so far. Please keep the worship/meaningful songs! Thank you❤❤
Sending all of my love from NYC, I am so excited and happy for you all, you're such a beautiful and inspirational family... would appreciate some prayers, my family has been through so so much these last few years, we would appreciate blessings and prayers
A Thank you for opening your lives, you are truly special and gracious, I am so glad that I found you 💖
Lots of prayers you all in New York please becareful there much love to you and your family
Thank you so much, I cannot begin to tell you how much that means to me … I’m blessed to be a part of Merina’s community… 🙏🏼
I love how real you are!!! And those kids are the sweetest!!!! They were speaking the truth!!!! You are beautiful inside and out!! Don’t ever forget that. 😊
Rinna just keep loving and being there for your kiddos. The laundry ain’t going anywhere ❤❤❤
Today I am focusing on how not to be distressed in a scary world , to know that god has plans for me knowing that he’s in control and I’ll be stronger after the storm and then I hear the sweet little voice of your daughter reminding me that he’s with me though it . Chocked me up a little . Sending much love from Maine 💕 tell her thank you for that reminder and that god used her to comfort me.
Girl I absolutely love you and your family!!! So many people are on TH-cam these days its hard to figure out who is real and who is fake but not with you!!! Your a real person that doesnt have to have everything perfect. I'm so glad I found your channel!!! Love like Jesus does without him we are nothing and those comments from the babies really hits a Momma's heart strings!!! Besides Jesus they are the most precious gifts we will ever have!!!
Hello 👋 how are you doing today? I hope this year brings happiness, peace and love all over the world I’m originally from Canada 🇨🇦 grow up in Fort Worth Texas, currently living in Key West Florida. Where are you from if i may ask?
I always do 2 loads of laundry everyday. That helps me keep up
Bless your children..Them cheering you on and saying I love...made me tear up too!!
You are giving your kids so many wonderful gifts like being home with them, homeschooling, and teaching them about our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. I’m thankful there are mommas in this world who are teaching their precious little ones.
I love that tile in your kitchen (the wall), Merina! Also, great song to start the video. Thank you for making a new video for us to enjoy. I really do like to watch your videos. It's like having a friend.
I just threw in a load of laundry because you mentioned laundry, lol. Thank you! 😄
Merina,
I don’t have ADHD and I still sometimes forget about a load in the wash. I started setting a timer and then I had a back up timer. When that timer goes off, I have to go address the laundry. Have you tried that? Good luck. !
The sweet moment at the end - I had tears too!! What sweet children you have! I’m so happy to have these day in the life style videos back, they give me so much peace and help me to remember my priorities in life. Thanks for sharing your life with us!
I think we must be twins! You had the Crocktober thing going, you make to do lists, you have to schedule time for reading too. We have so much in common! And what a blessing those kids are. They love you so much❤
You are so blessed with beautiful amazing children!! I see the love in Shane’s eyes every time he looks at you!! ❤ love your channel!!
Hi my beautiful sister in Christ!! First off I loved the music . Thank you for that. We share our love for Christ and our families and others. Thank you so much for the content you put out there that young women can still be Christian’s and be content about not trying to be like anybody else . Anyway I love y’all so so much !! Have a blessed weekend my darlings .
You are the most loved wife and mother. It is rare to see a wonderful family like yours. I’m new and been looking at some of your videos and love them.
Idk if anyone else has said this and please don’t take it the wrong way bc I mean no offense. Scented tp is bad for your hooha. 😬
I also want to add that you have the sweetest most kind babies. You and Shane are doing an amazing job raising those tiny humans. ❤
Merina, you are wonderful! I love your sense of humor, your crock pot cooking and your dear family but most importantly your love of Jesus!
I'm recently diagnosed and getting chemotherapy for breast cancer. When I can't sleep you are my company Merina! I don't believe in accidents I believe God led me to your channel! He uses our gifts in unexpected ways Merina. God is blessing me with you! ❤
Beth ❤️ I will pray for you! You got this!
As you know, I love your whole family and your videos. Tonight I broke out in tears when your daughter said you were pretty and Colton said you were amazing. You and Shzne are terrific parents.
You are teaching your children well love for our Savior, love for family and hearts full of goodness.
God is Good ❤
I am a 62 year old mama, grand mamama, and wife to my sweet husband of 43 years.I did daycare for over 25 years so other mamas who felt the need to work had a safe, happy and loving place where I could love on their children and still be able to stay home with my 2 sons.. I love your "real life", things on this video are REAL. I mean, you even left you rolled down the little hill by the deck...I just love your videos... I am also so happy that you found your dream home. We bought our"fixer upper" 5 1/2 years ago, and we are slowly making it our own. It is our little farmhouse in town... we love it...
It's so good to see your beautiful family settling in and enjoying your dream home. You are so right, those memories are so important. Today is 15 years since my mom went home with our heavenly father. The memories are all I got. God bless y'all. ❤ from WV.
I love how you lu e fir JESUS No matter what you are doing and going through ❤
So proud you were able to post again this week. I miss your videos. ❤ You are among a handful of friends on here that I watch every time. I just love y’all! You’re such sweet people. God bless you and your precious family. 🙏🏼❤️
I'm crying with you 😢❤ your children are amazing 🤩 just like their mom and dad ❤❤ I'm so glad that I found your channel. My husband changed jobs and I can't sleep at night when he's gone. Your channel brings comfort to me. There's been a lot of tragedy in my family the past few years and it's so hard to pick up the pieces and go on sometimes ❤ love you y'all so much
I love that you always talk about your faith. It really helps me to not lose my faith. That I should be seeking god not just in situations where we are praying asking for favors but just thankful of what we’ve been given. It’s really hard not to question why he does some things like my son being born with stage 4 kidney disease and needing a transplant this year. Then this year makes 2 years since my 6 year old niece passed. (We didn’t know she was born without and spleen and got really sick out of the blue but it was too late)
Prayer’s please needed for my family my other niece Alyssa was in a ATV accident and they had to remove and put back together her intestines. She’s only 10 years old she’s been in the hospital for a week now. My family has really been struggling with these events in our families.
Praying for you and your family, dear friend 🙏
Prayers
I thought of you the other day, when i saw a sweatshirt that said, "I want to be so full of Jesus, that when a mosquito bites me, he flies away singing There's power in the blood"!!! Keep up the great work!!❤😊
As always, a breath of fresh air. Music you used, great! I enjoyed the shopping with the girls. A great life skill to teach them. Blessings!❤
Not me over here, when Shane was singing, hollering “I GOT THE LOVE OF JESUS, LOVE OF JESUS, DOWN IN MY HEART!” 😂😂😂
Those good babies sure love their Mama . 💖 I started crying too dang it . 😌
You are a wonderful mother. You give it your all. Your children love you very much that is a testimony to you as a Christian mom. ❤️
Shane is just the cutest! I love his sense of humor! ❤
Merina, I always told my kids that I would teach them the tools they would need to (household) live on their own and manage their life. And they wouldnt be with someone to be taken care of....they would share their life with someone because they loved them. I was a stickler on clean clothes, so I did the laundry...my daughter told me she wishes I had shown her how. Smaller loads, what colors to wash together, when to use the right water temperature and what to air dry. Its a gift to give that tool in their belt for housekeeping. Teaching them now would be good.
I enjoy viewing your channel because you are honest, sincere and genuine...you are the "one" friend that would tell someone the truth with love❤ Bless you and your family.
If you do have a dishwasher and it's not working put your dishes in there to dry. Keeps your counters clean. Cammy has grown so much. Love the girls. They are something. Colton is so sweet. He always says the sweetest things. I know you get overwhelmed sometimes but you are doing great!! Love you bunches
I absolutely love your channel! You have a beautiful heart and I love that you love like Jesus! We need more people like you in this world ❤
Happy Friday to the sweetest family! Wishing you all the blessings in the world. Love y’all big! ♥️
Drinking water clears the toxins out of your body. So your face is breaking out because it’s getting rid of toxins, dirt, oil, etc that you don’t need. Water also cleanses toxins out via your kidneys. So, the more water you drink the clearer your skin will eventually become and your body will start shedding weight. By the way, you’ve always been beautiful. I cry too when my kids say something sweet about me. It’s because I have never had a lot of confidence and when they say something sweet it just makes me feel so loved and like maybe I’m doing something right by having such sweet kids. ❤ You’re doing a great job! You’re a wonderful mom, wife, person, and your son AMAZING Christian woman! ❤
Hello my awesome sauce bestie I miss commenting.., please keep me in your prayers friend the loss of my Dj hit a year sep25th and my soul is hurting bad!! Your channel lifts up my spirit!! God bless you guys
Awwwww, those babies love their mama!!!! You are doing AMAZING!!!!!!!!!
Oh my heart!! Thank you beautiful friend for your videos. I just get so blessed! Cammie looks like he has gotten so much taller 😍 the girls are so adorable 🥰 and Colton saying such sweet words! I was “not” crying with you 😊
I was crying with you. 😊
O marina thank you so much for the Bible verse The Lord is near to the broken-hearted. I lost my daughter a week ago and that is the verse I’m holding onto with everything in me. Your the best!!!!
Your children are so beautiful inside and out and that is a testament of how you and Shane have raised them. Blessings to both of you. I cried with you too after Colton said that. You are so blessed and you bless all of us on your channel. I feel so happy when I see you have a video being posted. My husband and I are moving into another home in a few weeks. Our new landlord is very nice but I hate packing and moving. I’m disabled and my husband needs neck surgery so we have to rely on others for help. Please pray that I can find some people to help us. Thank you. P. S. You are winning over the past Merina!!! ❤️❤️
Your Babies are so precious the way that they encourage you with so much love it touched this mama’s heart ,so sweetheart go ahead and feel those mama’s moments 🥰🥰🥰🥰
I can fight my own battles and if I dont fight them, they aren't fit to fight! LOVE that statement and its such an important lesson!! I say all the time, not my pasture,not my bull! Another good lesson 😂
I say not my circus, not my monkeys😂
@teresakronvall7030 yep. Heard that one too!
She's an incredibly wise lady...and she does ot with humor and love. She's younger than me, but I learn something about myself, or something helpful for me, every single video. A national treasure..the entire family.
@sarzbeth agree! This family is awesome, the kids are lucky to have amazing parents for sure!!
I may or may not have started singing and grooving with Shane when he was singing "I got the joy" lol
