I spent YEARS watching rich mommy vloggers and always felt bad about myself. Up until last year I didn't realize how bad it was for me personally. Watching you and reading EVERY comment on every video you post helped me to realize I'm not alone. It's so refreshing knowing I do not need to be "perfect".
I have watched a few of the rich vloggers too. And all they do is brag and show off what they have. But if it wasn't for having so many people watching them they would not be bragging. Because they would not be making all that money.some of them are awful. And make people that don't have much feel bad. I don't watch them anymore.
I try to buy everything on sale or clearance including my esstianls like food. I'm on a tight budget. Party of one here! By me being frugal, I bought a house. I shop at stores that reward me well for shopping there. I wear Addias etc but I buy it on clearance. I also make scarafices. I watch what I have my heat set on, I can add layers and save money on my heating bill. I live in Midwest where it gets below zero with a windchill below zero. I don't have a car payment. This is only part of what I do to be able to afford what I need or want.
It really hit home when you were talking about praying for what you have now..my husband and I have been working towards buying our first home and raising our children there. God is great! I absolutely love watching you... you keep me positive and help remind me of my blessings when I'm feeling down. ❤
When Merina talked about praying for what you have now and feeling blessed, it touched me also. I bought a house almost two years ago. It needed some cosmetic work, which is expensive. I'm divorced and can't fix the items myself, so I have to pay to have it done. Now I pray how Blessed that I am and for what has gotten done. You'll get your house!
You made me laugh so hard talking about almost hanging a family picture in Lowe's. That's one of the things that I really like about you --- you find the humor in things. Thanks so much!
I just watched the video where you received a lot of packages. Lord...you took me straight to church and I am sure there was not a dry eye. When you said ...I am just here to make heaven crowded!! That will go into my Bible. Thank you for being you xoxo
🥺❤️❤️❤️❤️ I LOVE YOU ALL. It’s an honor to have you as my friends and to be able to get on here and talk about Jesus. It’s something I don’t and won’t ever take for granted ❤️
Oh Merina I love how honest you are. You and Shayne are so real and down to earth. I got so caught up in running to stores to get things and then only to realize the stores were out of what ever. Then I realized two years later that I really didn’t like what I was watching. Now I think at 76 just enjoy what I watch and do what I can and it has to bring JOY.
Merina, you are so humble, sweet and kind. My chin was quivering and eyes tearing up when you were talking about how you prayed for your home. Your BEAUTIFUL home! People are mean and cruel, but with every challenge we grow and prevail. You give me such motivation and I truly adore you!
I just want you to know you are a blessing in my life! I feel like I’m listening to my friend . My long distance bestie. Thank you for being a light in my life❤️
I prayed for my family and my home. Even if it's a townhome, it's still a home. Home is what you make it. You have inspired me to take pride in my home. I can't wait for your next DIY. :)
You are such a good person. You deserve it ALL. You are real, genuine, caring, funny, energetic, loving, giving, …I could go on and on. You and Shane are doing something on this platform that no other TH-camr can match…I really am being serious here…you are beautiful people in every way and I love you guys❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ btw, that little sign is the most beautiful and precious sign I have ever seen on TH-cam……don’t EVER get rid of it.
I love that you show you can have a beautiful home on any income. Watching a lot of TH-camrs in the past I’ve felt less than because I also couldn’t afford all of the newest trendy home decor. You inspire me to be thankful right where I’m at and take care of what I do have. Your diy farmhouse sign turned out so beautiful! 💕
You are such a beautiful person inside and out. You are so humble and thankful for the wonderful gifts our Heavenly Father gives us. Love and hugs to you and your family.
HI, Stephanie , love your channel and hearing Timmy sing really touches my heart .l love Merina and her family too, hearing her laugh and make cooking recipes are special to me , I thank the Lord for ya'll
I swear every single one of your videos makes me cry at some point. Girl keeping PREACHING the Good Word! Also, you've inspired me to create a budget for my family for April!
Merina you just liked my TikTok video of my bedroom transformation and I couldn’t believe it was really you!! You literally were my motivation to do it myself!! ❤️
I Love the envelope system. I regret not starting earlier. Since starting this year I’ve gotten rid of so many lingering bills. It is a game changer to see how far your money can go when each dollar has a home/purpose. I started watching “The Budget Mom” here on TH-cam and it’s been eye opening. Thanks for sharing Merina.
I absolutely love you and your message! You have the biggest heart and love yours and Shane's relationship, it reminds me of me and my hubby, we constantly laugh with each other! I never thought I would be married or have any kids, I'm tall and have always been on the larger side, I'm going on 20 years of marriage to my best friend! 2 kids my son a senior almost 18 and my daughter a sophomore is 16 now. I remember praying for them so much and here I am living the life! Be blessed and know you I love you and so do all your viewers! ❤️
Merina, I went to goodwill the other day and I found what looks like a fish bowl 😂 so I bought it for 3.99 and I went to Walmart and bought apple barrel black matte paint for 50 cents and mixed it with baking soda (which I already had) and I’m in LOVE! I had been wanting a round black matte vase but they’re always +$50. So happy I only spent about $5 for my DIY project lol
Secretly watching at work! Lol we love you Merina! Your videos are so inspiring and always show what real life looks like and most importantly that’s it’s ok!
@@fearfullycreated got my headphones in!! But I wouldn’t care either way!!! 🤣🤣 hey I know I may have asked this in a previous comment but I am in the market for a camera as well and I am not techy what so ever and just wondering when you got one, which one you went with? I’m using my phone but want to try a camera. Thank you! 💜 I thought I saw a canon box in one of your videos before
This spoke to me on so many levels. I teared up a few times. My 12 yr. Old grandson watched and took in all your advice. Good Bless you for Blessing us!💐☦💞🥚🐇Happy Easter!
Once you start an envelope stuffing system you will be surprised how a little each month adds up in a years time. Thank you for sharing, Merina. I wish I had started many years ago but am glad I finally did a couple of years ago.
Your qualified for me i thank god your the realist family.My type of family that can help real families struggling but see themselves in yall.so in godly love with yall.
When my boys were young , I got so tired of trying to find matches for their socks, that I bought my oldest son black socks and my youngest son white socks. when the socks were washed and clean the black ones went in one basket and the white ones went in the other and they pulled out a sock for each foot each day. Sock matching problem solved lol you have such a precious family. Rina I so enjoy your video sweetie you are such a blessing 🌸💓
I had my husband n two sons; I bought crew socks. One son had blue strip, other had red stripe, n husband's socks had yellow stripe. My one son buys all is socks as straight white sock same style. That way he didn't have problem matching them up.
I'm going to start envelopes for Christmas, fall clothes for me and pet needs. You are my best friend on here and I look forward to our visits every week. I decided to go back to work part-time and that check will to pay my small credit card off (less than $350) and my envelopes. Cant wait for the makeover!!!
That little sign 😍 your little clip art house is precious. And I love that saying “ I prayed for this house” that’s exactly how I feel about my home ❤️
God answered your prayers girl, your children are beautiful, your home is beautiful and blessed and your husband loves you and is also very handsome! ✨🙏🎉💐😍☀️
Made my day to see my Merina .You are doing so much for me right now I can’t even go into words . Bless you ! I’m new to the channel and have found so much peace ☮️ in your content . Along with my Faith !
Omg I have been going through some things and when you said you prayed for someone to love you that was God talking through to me. Thank you so much. I prayed for my husband and I have been questioning God about him. This was my message. I need to have faith and stop questioning God when he gave me exactly what I prayed for. 💗🙏
Ok Mirena I cried when you were talking about praying for your home. I want my home to start looking together so bad that’s why I love watching your channel. Thank you for the love and passion you put into every video. Also Shane is so talented! It makes that picture so much more special that he drew it. Love it so much💚
I found you about 3 weeks ago and you have truly inspired me. I listen to you as I clean my home. Thank.you for being real......how refreshing. You are truly a blessing.
I’m so excited to see your new project! You always do such an amazing job at anything you do. I love your little plaque! Shane’s clip art was so neat! I just love you all!
I love that, "I prayed for this home" I have been getting this message every day this lent that I need to be grateful for where I am and what I have. I never thought I would have any of this. I Praise God for my life and what he has blessed me with. Thank you for reminding me to be grateful.
Hey sister!!! Hope the wildfire isn’t affecting y’all! Sending prayers y’all’s way, we had a tornado touch down not even a half mile from our house but we’re so lucky we have minimal damage! Stay blessed girl!

Hello, I am a new fan of you. You make me laugh and cry. I am a 77 year old mom, and grand mom. Very proud of all of them. You are so sweet and you are a blessing from the Lord. I don’t have a car, well I could not drive even if I had a car . I want you to know you that you help me even if I can’t do things like I used to but you just keep me going
Hi Merina, loved the Ross and Walmart goodies. I really loved that sign you made. Shane has a lot of talent. Shane drawing your mobile home makes it extra special. I think your going to redo the kitchen !!!!! Can't wait to see what y'all are going to do. Love your family, doggies too. ❤️
I love the envelope system the first time you explained it to us I started envelope system and I love it I have been able to save money it's very simple to do thank you Marina for always sharing things with us I'm so excited I can't wait to see your makeover love you Marina Shane and the kids you go girl
I laughed Rina when you started with the greeting - “Hey ya’ll” swinging your little fist and pointin 😂 Your gonna show us your Holy Grail lol “the envelope system” I love your Rina Dunn “Happy Heifer” utensil holder - always have. You know where you could get some cool unique frames is Goodwill. Love you guys!
hello my dear, ❤ your hair looks very nice, please tell Timmy thanks for the song, it is my favorite... it always amazes me , that as sick as Timmy is he always manage to find the strength to sing and be a blessing to someone like me. I was laying on the bed in lots of pain, and there he sangs this song that brings me to tears....blessing you both ❤
I love your videos so much! It was adorable seeing 2 little "photo bombers" in the backseat! 😂💕 Your little girls are so cute, and they will look so pretty in their new tops! Your DIY picture turned out so pretty! You did a great job, Merina! Shane is quite an artist! You both make the best team! 😊❤
I’ve been binging your videos lately and I just want to say that you have an amazing, kind and loving heart. Lately I’ve taken to praying that I can have a similar heart and mindset and just simply to love people the way Jesus does. You’ve inspired me more than you’ll ever know. ❤️
Oh my goodness gracious, I LOVE the sign you made! I LOVE y'all so much. . .you're family goals girly! My husband bought me a cricuit joy for Christmas & I haven't used it yet. I have to get it out & do some signs. Thank you for showing us the envelope system & showing us how we CAN make anything happen if we put our mind to it. You are most DEFINITELY following your calling from God! As I always tell you, I thank God for me finding your channel. You have truly become an AMAZING friend to me. I look up to you sooo much!
It's amazing how creative the human mind can be when forced to do so. I absolutely LOVE to diy everything. It makes you feel good to stand back and see what you can do.
Thank you so much for the envelope system teaching moment I've tried multiple ways and even attempted this before but I'm just so awful with money and you've made me want to try this again and actually stick to it seeing I have some important and very expensive things coming up the next few months you're the best:)
I want one that says...Give it to God and go to sleep. I love the one you just made. You made me cry! Blessed my heart. Been there myself! Now we're on a fixed income and just love your honesty because yes I get down on myself! You and your husband lifts my spirit! Thank you and God bless you and your family.
I love that you showed making decor with the Clorox container! For years, that was the only kind of decor I could afford. Thanks for being an encouragement to others! ~Karen
I got so tired of missing and mismatched sox, that I went to Walmart and bought all my kids boys black sox,... cheap, always matched, and stay clean looking for a whole day. Been doing it for years
That little sign is absolutely wonderful!!!! You guys should seriously consider making those vinyls to sell. People can send you pics of the outside of their home and Shane can customize the art. We definitely prayed for our home and I so want one of those signs now because I know exactly how you feel
@@fearfullycreated you have more than a sense of humor and You should give yourself more credit! It made me sad when you said you were bullied! You’re a beautiful person inside and out and we all know it and love you!!! ♥️😘
Girl!!! Where are you?!! I can't help but think something has happened. Whatever it is, know you and your family are dearly loved. Praying for peace, comfort, and protection. 🙏❤
I look forward to your videos! My husband made me go to Menards and I’m like, we gotta hurry up, my show is coming on soon and I don’t wanna be here! Lol He doesn’t know what to do with me half the time! Love y’all!!❤️
Hey Ri, you are so right about the budget thing. I love shopping in clearance and making my home look and feel according to my expectations and also my husbands as well. I like how you keep it Real with us and how you encourage us in some many ways. You Are An Inspiration to us all! Thanks for everything you do. And everything looks Amazing. I’m glad you and everyone is safe from this bad weather that been occurring amongst us all. God Bless!
Are you drinking enough water? Dehydration can make you weak and shakey and sometimes pass out. Low blood sugar or low blood pressure can too. You should drink even a little bit when you are not thirsty.
I understand putting off health stuff. I recently went to the dr and admitted to hurting and being in pain. Been in pain for years. My dr did a regular check on me. And found way more stuff wrong with me. So now I'm just dealing with all my medical. Love you sis!!❤❤❤😁
I'm diabetic and my doctor actually said when sugar drops drink milk, not juice, cause it stabilizes sugar better and doesn't drop and you get the protein too.
Hemoglobin a1c blood test gives you an average blood glucose level over the last 3 months…. Better indicator to see if you have pre-diabetes or diabetes. Pre-diabetes = Blood Sugar 100-125
🌼Hi Merina! Thank you for ALL the GREAT tips! I love your CREATIVITY! The shadow box frame and Shane’s gifted artwork was so SPECIAL! Loved it!❤️ When you were going to Lowe’s the girls in the back seat were hilarious acting silly like their daddy!🤣 They were making faces! 🤣 So adorable! Glasses are cute too!👍
Gratefulness is so important. I often think about the things I have now and how I never thought I would have them. I love my husband, my home, my career, and the me I am now! Thank you for sharing what you are grateful for and being a positive energy in the world!
Merina I always enjoy watching your videos. They brighten my dad. You are a encouragement to me in more ways than you know. It goes to show no matter what age we are young old, mid life we all can be a encouragment to one another. I am almost 54 as I have mentioned a lot to you but even though you are younger you are a great encouragement to me. God has given you wisdom for your age. Thank you for letting him use you. Love ya Patricia.
I’ve been making my own pictures/decor for a long time doing this exact same way! You can be really creative and make it your own! I love doing this! ❤️
Merina Your home is beautiful bunt not because of all your fabulous makeovers. It’s beautiful because it’s filled with love, respect, faith and happiness. And that’s what makes your house beautiful. It’s a joy to watch.
I love your envelope system I do the same thing put mine in a nice pink binder! Always love your words of encouragement making anything possible even if someone has less money you can make your house a home 🏡 💖
I totally understand your blood sugar dropping when you don’t eat. I get like that too - I will be hungry and need to eat immediately or I start to go downhill fast. So weird. I’m a little wary of intermittent fasting because when your body goes into “starvation mode,” it wants to then eat a ton of food to avoid going into that mode again. I’m not a dietician or anything but I read that in a book called Intuitive Eating and it made sense to me. Anyways, I applaud you for prioritizing your health! It’s definitely a process of trial and error that no one has figured out perfectly. We’re just doing our best. :)
It’s a kitchen makeover because you tell on yourself when you’re talking about it lol you’ll look at the space! When you were talking about putting the new decor up for the makeover 🤣❤️
I just saw your video and had to stop another to watch you. Please say more prayers for my Cancer. I also have to see if I have a blood clot in my leg again. I just love your sweet little family!
You are such an inspiration and bring back so many memories from my childhood, teenage years and also some of my younger adult age. It’s good to know that someone understands some of the same traumas that I have experienced. God saved me! You help me! Just know that you are helping all of us. You understand and you are SO real! Thank you!!
I love watching you make over any space in your home! ❤️ Merina, with your cricut joy, you can cut longer pieces, turn your design sideways and make it larger that way, or you could even cut your design apart to make it bigger. 😊
Oh girl! That was along time. I fast from 8pm to 10 am. Then I have a giant glass of water before having a great healthy lunch. So glad your feeling better. ❤️
I hope you are feeling better! Praying for you girl. Loved the sign so much, Shane did a great job drawing your home. Enjoyed seeing your envelope system. Thanks for sharing.

@@nannapatty110 I don't watch those channels either. I wish other people thought the way you do! By watching their channel they are making more money.
I try to buy everything on sale or clearance including my esstianls like food. I'm on a tight budget. Party of one here! By me being frugal, I bought a house. I shop at stores that reward me well for shopping there. I wear Addias etc but I buy it on clearance. I also make scarafices.

So if you set the bar low, you feel better about yourself? Interesting…….it appears that all the negative comments are deleted. I have never seen one.
@@janetglen5898 which comment are you commenting on?
Shane can draw just about anything you two are so Bless3d ♥️♥️♥️♥️
Girl, you are speaking to my heart tonight. I love that you understand what it's like to struggle and still make it with God's grace.
It really hit home when you were talking about praying for what you have now..my husband and I have been working towards buying our first home and raising our children there. God is great! I absolutely love watching you... you keep me positive and help remind me of my blessings when I'm feeling down. ❤

That little sign 😍 your little clip art house is precious. And I love that saying “ I prayed for this house” that’s exactly how I feel about my home ❤️
Great tips! A good way to save money on paint is to ask the hardware store to look at their rejected paint, they sell them cheap!

Thank you for the love and passion you put into every video. Also Shane is so talented! It makes that picture so much more special that he drew it. Love it so much💚

I found you about 3 weeks ago and you have truly inspired me. I listen to you as I clean my home. Thank.you for being real......how refreshing. You are truly a blessing.
I’m so excited to see your new project! You always do such an amazing job at anything you do. I love your little plaque! Shane’s clip art was so neat! I just love you all!
I love that, "I prayed for this home"
I have been getting this message every day this lent that I need to be grateful for where I am and what I have. I never thought I would have any of this. I Praise God for my life and what he has blessed me with. Thank you for reminding me to be grateful.
Awww your using the journal I sent you! I know it was perfect for you. That just made my day, love y'all so much, stay blessed my friend ❣️
You are so sweet and inspirational! I love your personality, so good and honest. Love your entire family including little doggies.
Hey sister!!! Hope the wildfire isn’t affecting y’all! Sending prayers y’all’s way, we had a tornado touch down not even a half mile from our house but we’re so lucky we have minimal damage! Stay blessed girl!
So far we are in the safe zone! Please pray that the wind will chill out though ❤️ it makes it hard to contain it!
We had one here in East texas the other day about a mile from our house. One place looked like a war zone. It was awful!
@@NiNitosix same girl! This is the second thing be this close in less than 2 years
I did to last night I'm in Southern Alabama I had a tornado rite behind my house I'm thankfully my closest was big enough for to chunky people aka me and my husband to fit in it😭🤣 my teenage daughters was in the bathroom complaining whole time 🤦♀️ in the dark because at this point we lost power and I couldn't remember where I put the flash lights that happened so fast gotten woke up out of a dead sleep to take cover luckily all is well just few tree branches down hope all is well your way
@@NiNitosix Happy that you and your family are okay. Sorry about the damage. Sending 🙏 your way!
Hello, I am a new fan of you. You make me laugh and cry. I am a 77 year old mom, and grand mom. Very proud of all of them. You are so sweet and you are a blessing from the Lord. I don’t have a car, well I could not drive even if I had a car . I want you to know you that you help me even if I can’t do things like I used to but you just keep me going
Can't wait to see your new make over. It was so awesome to hear Shane, be able to pick up where you left off in your closing words.
🤣🤣 he does listen after all lol
You two are so cute! Your beauty shines through as a child of God! I so enjoy your videos. Keep on running the race!
Hi Merina, loved the Ross and Walmart goodies. I really loved that sign you made. Shane has a lot of talent. Shane drawing your mobile home makes it extra special. I think your going to redo the kitchen !!!!! Can't wait to see what y'all are going to do. Love your family, doggies too. ❤️
Honey you are one smart cookie! You are a mentor to many. God bless you and yours. 💐

You know where you could get some cool unique frames is Goodwill. Love you guys!
hello my dear, ❤ your hair looks very nice, please tell Timmy thanks for the song, it is my favorite...
it always amazes me , that as sick as Timmy is he always manage to find the strength to sing and be a blessing to someone like me.
I was laying on the bed in lots of pain, and there he sangs this song that brings me to tears....blessing you both ❤
I love your videos so much! It was adorable seeing 2 little "photo bombers" in the backseat! 😂💕 Your little girls are so cute, and they will look so pretty in their new tops! Your DIY picture turned out so pretty! You did a great job, Merina! Shane is quite an artist! You both make the best team! 😊❤
I’ve been binging your videos lately and I just want to say that you have an amazing, kind and loving heart. Lately I’ve taken to praying that I can have a similar heart and mindset and just simply to love people the way Jesus does. You’ve inspired me more than you’ll ever know. ❤️
Oh my goodness gracious, I LOVE the sign you made! I LOVE y'all so much. . .you're family goals girly!
My husband bought me a cricuit joy for Christmas & I haven't used it yet. I have to get it out & do some signs.
Thank you for showing us the envelope system & showing us how we CAN make anything happen if we put our mind to it.
You are most DEFINITELY following your calling from God! As I always tell you, I thank God for me finding your channel. You have truly become an AMAZING friend to me. I look up to you sooo much!
It's amazing how creative the human mind can be when forced to do so. I absolutely LOVE to diy everything. It makes you feel good to stand back and see what you can do.
Thank you so much for the envelope system teaching moment I've tried multiple ways and even attempted this before but I'm just so awful with money and you've made me want to try this again and actually stick to it seeing I have some important and very expensive things coming up the next few months you're the best:)
You both are so talented. You can pass that on down to your kids . Mom made it and Dad draw it. Shane is so bless at art .
We’re getting a new front door and I’m renovating our deck which is a HUGE project 😬. Prayers your renovation goes well 🥰
Oh you guys are gonna knock it out of the park!!!!!!! 😄
I want one that says...Give it to God and go to sleep. I love the one you just made. You made me cry! Blessed my heart. Been there myself! Now we're on a fixed income and just love your honesty because yes I get down on myself! You and your husband lifts my spirit! Thank you and God bless you and your family.
So excited to see what y'all are up to now 🤗
😄 happy Thursday friend
I love that you showed making decor with the Clorox container! For years, that was the only kind of decor I could afford. Thanks for being an encouragement to others! ~Karen
I got so tired of missing and mismatched sox, that I went to Walmart and bought all my kids boys black sox,... cheap, always matched, and stay clean looking for a whole day. Been doing it for years
That little sign is absolutely wonderful!!!! You guys should seriously consider making those vinyls to sell. People can send you pics of the outside of their home and Shane can customize the art. We definitely prayed for our home and I so want one of those signs now because I know exactly how you feel
I don’t care what you’re doing, you just always make me laugh! Love your channel! ♥️🤗
🤣 if I didn’t have a sense of humor idk what I’d do 🤣🤣
@@fearfullycreated you have more than a sense of humor and You should give yourself more credit! It made me sad when you said you were bullied! You’re a beautiful person inside and out and we all know it and love you!!! ♥️😘
You're a good person Merina. You are also very talented and your home IS beautiful.
Thank you so much for posting so often. I look so forward to watching!! Your family is awesome! Thank you! ❤️❤️ HYDRATE!!!!😉
You guys are my happy place 😄 my days are made when I get to chat with y’all ❤️❤️❤️
Girl!!! Where are you?!! I can't help but think something has happened. Whatever it is, know you and your family are dearly loved. Praying for peace, comfort, and protection. 🙏❤
I look forward to your videos! My husband made me go to Menards and I’m like, we gotta hurry up, my show is coming on soon and I don’t wanna be here! Lol He doesn’t know what to do with me half the time! Love y’all!!❤️
Hahahahhaha oh my gosh 🤣🤣🤣🤣 I just love you lol
Right back at cha!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Hey Ri, you are so right about the budget thing. I love shopping in clearance and making my home look and feel according to my expectations and also my husbands as well. I like how you keep it Real with us and how you encourage us in some many ways. You Are An Inspiration to us all! Thanks for everything you do. And everything looks Amazing. I’m glad you and everyone is safe from this bad weather that been occurring amongst us all. God Bless!
For all the momma's that can't afford Hobby Lobby prices, Dollar General has awesome farmhouse decor cheap!
My entire house is dollar general decor. I can't resist!
@@KailynsJoy Yes, I love Dollar General too!
Are you drinking enough water? Dehydration can make you weak and shakey and sometimes pass out. Low blood sugar or low blood pressure can too. You should drink even a little bit when you are not thirsty.
I understand putting off health stuff. I recently went to the dr and admitted to hurting and being in pain. Been in pain for years. My dr did a regular check on me. And found way more stuff wrong with me. So now I'm just dealing with all my medical.
Love you sis!!❤❤❤😁
I'm diabetic and my doctor actually said when sugar drops drink milk, not juice, cause it stabilizes sugar better and doesn't drop and you get the protein too.
THANK YOU for this info! If you ever have any other advice send it my way! It’s all overwhelming to learn about!
Hemoglobin a1c blood test gives you an average blood glucose level over the last 3 months…. Better indicator to see if you have pre-diabetes or diabetes.
Pre-diabetes = Blood Sugar 100-125
🌼Hi Merina! Thank you for ALL the GREAT tips! I love your CREATIVITY! The shadow box frame and Shane’s gifted artwork was so SPECIAL! Loved it!❤️ When you were going to Lowe’s the girls in the back seat were hilarious acting silly like their daddy!🤣 They were making faces! 🤣 So adorable! Glasses are cute too!👍
I go to Ross for stuff like home decor and water bottles but lately the dresses have been catching my eye! So cute.
Gratefulness is so important. I often think about the things I have now and how I never thought I would have them. I love my husband, my home, my career, and the me I am now! Thank you for sharing what you are grateful for and being a positive energy in the world!
I would LOVE a cooking on a budget video and the budget decorations!!!
Merina I always enjoy watching your videos. They brighten my dad. You are a encouragement to me in more ways than you know. It goes to show no matter what age we are young old, mid life we all can be a encouragment to one another. I am almost 54 as I have mentioned a lot to you but even though you are younger you are a great encouragement to me. God has given you wisdom for your age. Thank you for letting him use you. Love ya Patricia.
I’ve been making my own pictures/decor for a long time doing this exact same way! You can be really creative and make it your own! I love doing this! ❤️
I want to do it more often 😄❤️
Merina Your home is beautiful bunt not because of all your fabulous makeovers. It’s beautiful because it’s filled with love, respect, faith and happiness. And that’s what makes your house beautiful. It’s a joy to watch.
I love your envelope system I do the same thing put mine in a nice pink binder! Always love your words of encouragement making anything possible even if someone has less money you can make your house a home 🏡 💖
Absolutely love your style of your home!!!! You’re literally making me want a single wide trailer!!!!!!!!!❤️
You so deserved every wonderful thing that God has given you! Thank you for sharing your life with us! You are loved!
I totally understand your blood sugar dropping when you don’t eat. I get like that too - I will be hungry and need to eat immediately or I start to go downhill fast. So weird. I’m a little wary of intermittent fasting because when your body goes into “starvation mode,” it wants to then eat a ton of food to avoid going into that mode again. I’m not a dietician or anything but I read that in a book called Intuitive Eating and it made sense to me. Anyways, I applaud you for prioritizing your health! It’s definitely a process of trial and error that no one has figured out perfectly. We’re just doing our best. :)
It’s a kitchen makeover because you tell on yourself when you’re talking about it lol you’ll look at the space! When you were talking about putting the new decor up for the makeover 🤣❤️
I just saw your video and had to stop another to watch you. Please say more prayers for my Cancer. I also have to see if I have a blood clot in my leg again. I just love your sweet little family!
You are such an inspiration and bring back so many memories from my childhood, teenage years and also some of my younger adult age. It’s good to know that someone understands some of the same traumas that I have experienced. God saved me! You help me! Just know that you are helping all of us. You understand and you are SO real! Thank you!!
I love watching you make over any space in your home! ❤️ Merina, with your cricut joy, you can cut longer pieces, turn your design sideways and make it larger that way, or you could even cut your design apart to make it bigger. 😊
Oh girl! That was along time. I fast from 8pm to 10 am. Then I have a giant glass of water before having a great healthy lunch. So glad your feeling better. ❤️
I hope you are feeling better! Praying for you girl. Loved the sign so much, Shane did a great job drawing your home. Enjoyed seeing your envelope system. Thanks for sharing.
