Being overwhelmed and yet calm in your demeanor is a gift. I applaud your tenacity to go ahead and get it done! Real life takes work and you've got this! I do appreciate the wise words of your friend. Much love to you.
Your videos are terrific . I’m rendering my own Tallow thanks to your video. Thank you. Please take care of yourself and your beautiful family. Praying for you all.
You are crushing it Marisa. I am a 70 yr old home birth midwife, of 6 boys and as I watch your videos, I see so much of me when they were young, a labor of love. Keep on keeping on. My Luv, Grandma CC of 6 PS I always wanted a girl and finally got her, my 1st grand, she's 13 now.
You poor thing, I raised and homeschooled my 8 kids. This really brought back memories. I can chuckle about it now (I’m 70) but oh, those overwhelming days were so overwhelming😊
its time to say," its ok" I need to take my time tackle what I can" breathe and if I don't get it all done its ok. Take the time to love your self, and involve the kids to help you. Put the child in a swim suit if he gets dirty wash him off with the hose, don't change cloths or bathe till he is done playing outside, give the kids chores and sticker board that they get their chore done. fold the cloths when you are taking them off the line.🥰
I appreciate that you switched to friday videos! Your videos don't normally pop up for me when I'm able to watch so I don't always get to them but it was first today. Sorry to hear that you are feeling overwhelmed you are doing great! Side note.. Your kitchen is so beautiful!! Oh and my favorite recipe videos are the baby gaps meals and soup videos!
Thank you for your video. Real life, real challenges of being a stay home mom. Buts it’s a beautiful thing we get to do 💓 Thank you for the advice and for your time. Your video encouraged me to keep going when those challenging days pop up.
Marissa your kitchen is beautiful! That is a plus! It is all going to come together! Sometimes it is tuff! But it will be better! Just enjoy the mess! It could be worse! It can be so perfect and that would be boring! I have been there when my kids were small ! I can look back and it was all worth it. It’s hard to see that at the moment! I wished I could help you and give you a break! Believe me raising a family and taking control of the house can be interesting! God bless you dear, it will get better , I promise!❤
I am so proud of you Marisa! I just finished the end of your video and you are so amazing! Always remember that tomorrow is another day! Enjoy the moment and remember task work will always be there! A house is just a house a home is full of love! When you are getting overwhelmed , take a deep breaths , and say “ Lord I got this with your Help “Amen You’re got this!❤ Thank you for sharing with us! We all help one another! God bless you and your family beautiful family!❤
I love your videos. Just a suggestion as a regular viewer-Some of your video titles feel like click bait/overstated. I normally overlook- but this title and picture seem especially dramatic. 😬you have a calm personality and I love that. Doesn’t seem to match your video titles.
I don't think it's click bait.....the thumbnail expresses how she felt. She stated very clearly she was sick and the thumbnail represents that. She stated she felt overwhelmed, so the title of this video accurately represents her feeling overwhelmed. Plus, people like drama so ......
It’s more the “I don’t now if I can do this” along with picture. Doesn’t match her personality or the tone of the actual video. Yes overwhelm is a part of this video and of course life at times but the issue is that it seems overstated.
@@Livingwater810She’s obviously overwhelmed and putting on a brave face. If she melted down on camera, you’d be criticizing her for that, too. How about you let her title her videos the way she wants to? You’re just another demand for her, and it’s not right.
@@Livingwater810 okay, let's say it's overstated as you say; she's done nothing wrong. Let's say the thumbnail of her video is overstated with the intention of getting more views and subscribers. She's still done nothing wrong.
If u look at the gigantic footprint of your property and the amount of room that ur boys have to roam and topple everything over as well as the amount of items in their rooms it’s overwhelming just to look at. The mind tries to make sense mentally of everything out of place and upside down and dirty subconsciously. Your current lifestyle is not going to get less overwhelming until u rethink things. First thing I’d do is put a short fence up outside that back door out maybe 20 ft out - parallel to the house -seed it with grass and keep the boys in there when it is raining and when u need to see them. It will also cure the chicken issue. A 3 yr old can drown in a bucket of water that the broken pipe could have created. Let the boys run free on days when u are out there with them. Pack away 1/2 of the toys/stuff in there rooms and rotate is as they get board and break stuff. why are u changing them 5 times a day or even 2 without finding a solution for the mud? Boys love to play in water so at some point ur being played so they can play in a warm bath all day. Managing a system that has no end or completion is like never having closure on anything and just putting out fires. Adrenals can take so much then they flatline...ask urself if u need to be in the state of chaos that ur creating...maybe it’s some leftover ‘burdened’ vibe from ur past or that someone dumped on u. Peace, pray for a happy life - God bless u 🤗
Try creating some bunds in your yard to trap moisture and get the soil to absorb moisture. Basically, you make half moon shapes with a berm and loosen up the soil inside the bund with a hoe or shovel. This traps the moisture and makes it soak into the ground and eventually the soil comes back. You can also do some cardboard mulching in these bunds to also help restore moisture and revive the vegetation.
Darlin, I've been there. Speaking as an outsider looking in, your children may require more responsibility than they currently have. You can take this advice or toss it away, but I hope you will carefully consider.
@@AmyLouiseDens You're only 'looking in' for 25 minutes, so how can you give advice..... You say you have been there, so when you were teaching your children to pitch in, you were filming at the same time?
Being a mom and homemaker has so many varied tasks and managing it can seem overwhelming. I feel the same way, Marisa. It's hard to keep the nervous system calm with so much to do.
Living this right now 😮💨 pneumonia wiped us out, I have age gap kids ( 13, 8, 7 month). Sometimes all you can do is survive the day. Glad you are doing better! Hang in there, you're doing a great job!!
First I want to say with a song from Santana (not my favorite song, but the sentiment is there) I hope you're feeling better! And you can see in the video, the incredible musician Gregg Rolie, before he became the keyboardist for Journey, he hopes you're feeling better too! th-cam.com/video/mjWkm3tvrRA/w-d-xo.html

Red a French drain. Works way better than drain pipe, way better.
It’s ok to take a break from content creating if you need to! Mental health and family peace are way more important💞

Great tips, thanks! My husband has lots of plans for sheet mulching and is getting that going :)
Teach your children to pitch in every day. It's good for you and it's very good for them.
Yes, we definitely do this! :)

Thank you!! 😊
thank you for being Real ❤🙌🏼☕

Awww thank you! ❤️ You too!
Need this video very much
Is that a pact top? I have seen it on the website and looks nice but you would be a real life example of how it looks
Yes it is, I love it!
@@bumblebeeapothecary:( I went to the website and they don’t have the color I liked :P
Not sure when you filmed this video. Did you get any of the snow that Colorado got this week?
I filmed it last month :) We did get snow!
It was total click bait for me.
First I want to say with a song from Santana (not my favorite song, but the sentiment is there) I hope you're feeling better! And you can see in the video, the incredible musician Gregg Rolie, before he became the keyboardist for Journey, he hopes you're feeling better too!

all in gods time
I would just hire some to wash and dry all clothes and clean house! At least on times like this!
What are do you live in?
Laundry goes way faster with 2 machines
I remember the feeling when we have littles and we have to stay ‘on the job’ even when we feel sick or low energy 💕
