I rarely get spoiled but all these videos I am loving thank you for all your work Having a husband and a high school student and all your housework and your Fur babies You still make time for us😊❤
Hey Arika, Iam Praying for You and Marion. I am keeping y’all in My Thoughts and Prayers. God Bless. Sending love all the way from Alabama, Chrissie ♥️🙏
I just love your home! It is so warm, cozy, and welcoming. I think the different floors add character! I love all of them. Thanks for another great video❤️
You are 100% right about the Delomo pet hair remover!! After watching you use yours for so long I bought one. With a Pug indoors it has been a lifesaver!!! My daughter and husband will even use it ,without me even asking them to, just to see how much hair it picks up. It is so good!
Thank you so much for what you said about trends . It really needed to be said ! I agree 100 with you ! There is no way to change every trend . Find what makes your heart sing and do it . Sometimes scrolling thru Pinterest I get so inspired to change something . But learning to be grateful for all God has given me is what helps me most . Favorite saying is “ Comparison is the thief of all joy!”
I love all your renovations but the pantry has my heart. It just amazes me. Wish I had one even close to it. That Clyde is falling down on his job of guarding the drinks. I love every time I see a video pop up. Meatloaf and mashed potatoes is one of my favorite meals. Bless your sweet family
I sometimes add bits of decor from current trends but only if it is something I love. Our home is filled with memories and things that bring us joy. Your home is so pretty and welcoming and you love it. That is what matters.
I think you're right. Different floors don't matter at all. It makes the house more interesting. Your home is so cozy and welcoming. Thanks for Your home tour.
You have such a beautiful home! I absolutely love watching your room make overs. They are affordable and look so nice! I’m not good at decorating so I love getting ideas from you.
All the flooring in your house looks great. The pantry flooring design is unique and very pretty. But I never thought about the possibility of feeling dizzy...etc.. if it was used in a larger area. Thanks for the tip. 😊
I totally agree with you do what you love in your own home. Trends come and go way to fast to keep up with. I love your different floors. My home doesn't have all the same color floors. Your home is beautiful ❤
Love your sweatshirt, love the color & love that is has NC on it! I am from NC but have to live in Washington state. I like that you showed a little of the things you did for your pets. You are keeping it real.
Hi Arika! Yum to the meatloaf and potatoes! I have all different floors in my house too! Doesn’t bother me at all! You are such a great homemaker & mother! 🩷
I don't know if you've seen but that Mr. Clean multipurpose cleaner they also make in the the Gain Moonlight Breeze. I know you like that scent like I do.
I just love meat loaf with mashed potatoes....such comfort foods!!! Your house just sparkles when you're finished cleaning....God bless and stay safe...prayers for you and your family coming your way 🙏 ❤😊
Arika thank you so so much for all your videos! I can't imagine the time it takes to keep them rolling out for us. I just love your and Marion's home. I totally agree about trends! I love my thrifted home decor. I have recently seen in YT that my style is Grandmillennial lol. Some of our old grannies things mixed with new things lol.. I always use a top sheet. I have soft fleece for the winter. Will go back to my regular sheets probably next month. Still cool nights in Ga. 34 freeze tomorrow night! I make my meatloaf like you but use tomatoe sauce apple cider vinegar and brown sugar for the topping. Sweet and sour loaf.
I have several antique pieces from my grandparents. Wouldn't trade them for any of this new trendy stuff. I took my heavy comforter off a couple weeks ago and put on my summer bedding which is just the top sheet and my lightweight quilt my grandmother made for me. I keep a fuzzy blanket beside my bed because some nights I still get cold. Lol. We are in East Tennessee so the weather here is back and forth for another month probably. 😊
I bought that vacuum back when you first got it at your suggestion and I have a shark and had a Dyson till it broke. It was so cheap and still works wonderfully.
Glad you are back to posting more videos. Really enjoy your channel. You are very relatable. I have to agree with Jaxon the purple grapes taste better than the green.
My little dog is the pickiest dog I've ever had. Just when I think I've found a food he likes, back to picky. Lol. I love meatloaf with mashed potatoes and corn. Delicious. You were talking about having different flooring in your house, I've watched shows that were redoing pretty much mansions and they put in several different kinds of flooring. If multi-million dollar homes can do it, so can you. Hope all of you have a great and safe weekend.
I want to have a yard sale so bad. But, I don’t have any help and it’s a hard job by yourself. I love mashed potatoes too. I put buttermilk, evaporated milk plus all the butter, cheese and everything else. It’s so good to me.
Arika your home is gorgeous! You have decorated it beautifully. Boy it sounds like the rain is coming down in torrents. Your meals are always so yummy looking. Your grocery hauls look like mine. Seems as though it takes me longer to put it up than it did to go shopping and bring it home and put it up. I always enjoy the house cleaning, laundry, cooking, dusting, and cleaning the bathroom and just all the things. Your videos never disappoint. God bless you all and I’ll see you in the next one.
I can definitely tell the dog between green and red grapes. Green taste much more tart. They’re not yummy though. Thanks for the motivation Arika! I’ve been here since way before the kitchen Reno and I love how you’ve done everything!! I know the hard work that has gone into each makeover and the budget needed to make them happen. It’s been so fun to watch the transformation of your home.
I found your channel a couple of years ago and have stayed because you are so relatable. I don't follow trends either and will not use decor just because it's "in" or everyone else thinks it's how you should do it. Your home reflects who you are and that's amazing. It's welcoming and a cozy place to visit and chat. That is what I strive for, too. I really like red grapes more than green, lol. The meatloaf and potatoes looked delicious! Comfort food at it's best. Have a lovely weekend. Love from Chicagoland.
Miss Erica alway alway love your videos you always give me motivation and I like the different floor it give it character. And most of all you like and that all that counts god bless
Arika, since my husband of 29 years, his final wishes were to move us 5 to Texas as Ca is just awful now. So we are having him buried at a national cemetary and then we 4 are moving there. It is so I/we can visit dad frequently and so me and our 3 kids can have a fresh, brand new start to our lives. God bless you all and a beautiful and definitely motivating video.
Paused video. Not sure you will even respond to this comment, but I recently ordered/received delomo pet hair remover after watching an older video of yours. It is GREAT! If anyone has pets, it is worth it. Has great reviews too. Kisses to all your fur babies from my adopted chiweenie and tabby cat whom I love endlessly.❤
There's not one thing that I would change about your house....its perfect. I love your floors. I have one of those vacuums too,with the cord. I like it,but it uses too much of the floor cleaner. You take care. Happy Easter
Hi Arila, thank you for the information about the Delomo! After one of your other videos I actually ordered one off your Amazon affiliate link. It’s amazing! I love your videos, it is really inspiring me to keep up my own home. Thank you for all you do. ❤
Hi I was so excited to see your video pop up and your house is beautiful and thank you for the motivation to clean me and my husband have been sick with a stomach bugToday is the first day that we have been feeling better and your fur babies are so so cute have a good rest of your weekend
I am also amazed at how will you pack that refrigerator? I have one like it and I cannot get it organized to save my life. Thanks so much for sharing. Have a wonderful weekend.
i OMPREZOLE , CHECK WITH your GP. The 20 mg you get over the counter they can write you a prescription for it. I get one for 20 mg and it's 1.75 for a 90 day supply with my insurance. Worth checking into.
Inspector Clyde must have been napping during the grocery haul 😂. My little Pomeranian Zoey is the same way….she has a dish of dry food available to her all the time to nibble on but never finishes the bowl 😂
Your style and likes/dislikes are almost identical to mine...go figure🤷 I'm a faithful viewer and NEVER miss a video. Your house is beautiful and love the DIY projects are amazing. Love the recipes. I've done a few of the diy's and decor ideas in my house too. I'm sort of a minimalist and a empty nester. Keep up the great work and hope you page gets many more viewer's😊
I rarely get spoiled but all these videos I am loving thank you for all your work Having a husband and a high school student and all your housework and your Fur babies You still make time for us😊❤
Hey Arika, Iam Praying for You and Marion. I am keeping y’all in My Thoughts and Prayers. God Bless. Sending love all the way from Alabama, Chrissie ♥️🙏
I agree: don't worry about trends, just do what you love ❤️
I hope that Marion is doing well and home soon my thoughts prayers and love with you all
I just love your home! It is so warm, cozy, and welcoming. I think the different floors add character! I love all of them. Thanks for another great video❤️

That’s awesome! It’s the best hair removal tool I’ve used! So glad you got one!😊👏🏻
Erika Wow. Fantastic cleaning video !! Spotless kitchen what a good feeling!!
I am so happy that you're back to regular schedule with 3 videos a week. I was having withdrawals. You're one of my favorite youtubers.😊
Thank you so much for what you said about trends . It really needed to be said ! I agree 100 with you ! There is no way to change every trend . Find what makes your heart sing and do it . Sometimes scrolling thru Pinterest I get so inspired to change something . But learning to be grateful for all God has given me is what helps me most . Favorite saying is “ Comparison is the thief of all joy!”
Absolutely! I love that saying too! We have to look inward and not all around at everyone else, it definitely can steal your joy!
I love all your renovations but the pantry has my heart. It just amazes me. Wish I had one even close to it. That Clyde is falling down on his job of guarding the drinks. I love every time I see a video pop up. Meatloaf and mashed potatoes is one of my favorite meals. Bless your sweet family
😊❤️
I don’t think you’re behind in all the trends, your way out ahead of them! Everything comes back around 🥰 I love your home, it’s got your stamp on it!
I sometimes add bits of decor from current trends but only if it is something I love. Our home is filled with memories and things that bring us joy. Your home is so pretty and welcoming and you love it. That is what matters.
I’m loving this weather too! It’s like God turned a switch on and the trees bloomed and the next week they are green and lush!
Wow…such incredible ENERGY! Your home is lovely and it’s YOU. Keep on keeping on!
Thank you so much!!
You are so very welcome! Love all your videos & I’m inspired by your energy level. Love your channel. Please keep being YOU!
I think you're right. Different floors don't matter at all. It makes the house more interesting. Your home is so cozy and welcoming. Thanks for Your home tour.

I hope Marion is on his way to recovery, God bless you all
Good evening Arika and Marion and Jaxon and family and thank you for sharing your beautiful family and home i love your channel ❤❤❤
Those healthy cookies look yum ❤it is exhausting to make beds no matter what lol . Love when you do a weekly video … shows what you are up to daily .
Did you add salt to the protein cookies? A pinch of Himalayan salt always brings out the flavor.🌺
Erika I'm like you I don't follow trends and don't keep up with the Jones that is why I love your channel.❤
The cookies look yummy! I have a chocolate chip oatmeal cookie recipe the kids love. Your home is so cozy!
Thanks so much! 😊 I love a good homemade chocolate chip cookie!❤️ I think I’ve seen you make yours!
Chia and flax seeds are heart healthy. I add them to oatmeal and protein bars. Yum. Chia binds and can be used in place of eggs. . :) 💖

Meatloaf and mashed potatoes are my favorite comfort food
Hi Arika! Yum to the meatloaf and potatoes! I have all different floors in my house too! Doesn’t bother me at all! You are such a great homemaker & mother! 🩷
use the sprayway cleaner on the faucet. It's great on stainless steel and faucets and stuff.
Everything looks so clean and in order your an amazing housekeeper . God Bless your beautiful family.
I so much enjoy watching you clean, you do such a great job. Now I feel I need to go sweep and vacumn too, Arika, thanks a lot lol!
I don't know if you've seen but that Mr. Clean multipurpose cleaner they also make in the the Gain Moonlight Breeze. I know you like that scent like I do.
I just love meat loaf with mashed potatoes....such comfort foods!!! Your house just sparkles when you're finished cleaning....God bless and stay safe...prayers for you and your family coming your way 🙏 ❤😊
I cannot get over how cheap groceries are when you do your grocery hauls!
Great haul. Just spent 400 at Aldies . Trying save it’s way cheaper than Walmart
All of the PB and Company ones are SO good I love to find new ones I haven't tried before.
Arika thank you so so much for all your videos! I can't imagine the time it takes to keep them rolling out for us. I just love your and Marion's home. I totally agree about trends!

I thank the Good Lord for the rain, I've got a well. Claudette
I like your kitchen floor just the way it is!
Thanks for sharing, Arika💖
I bought that vacuum back when you first got it at your suggestion and I have a shark and had a Dyson till it broke. It was so cheap and still works wonderfully.
So glad you like it too! I love mine, and it still works great too!😀😩
Just saw on Instagram Your husband's home wonderful news
Glad you are back to posting more videos. Really enjoy your channel. You are very relatable.
I have to agree with Jaxon the purple grapes taste better than the green.
NOOOOO! Unless you mean jelly or popsicles!
My little dog is the pickiest dog I've ever had. Just when I think I've found a food he likes, back to picky. Lol. I love meatloaf with mashed potatoes and corn. Delicious. You were talking about having different flooring in your house, I've watched shows that were redoing pretty much mansions and they put in several different kinds of flooring.

I ended up giving my crossawave to a friend. It was such a pain and I felt like my ocedar mop does a way better job.
Thanks for the video .❤😊
Love the meal ideas can never get tired of those.
I want to have a yard sale so bad. But, I don’t have any help and it’s a hard job by yourself.
I love mashed potatoes too. I put buttermilk, evaporated milk plus all the butter, cheese and everything else. It’s so good to me.
Yard sales are definitely a lot of work! I will have some help with mine thankfully!
Arika your home is gorgeous! You have decorated it beautifully. Boy it sounds like the rain is coming down in torrents. Your meals are always so yummy looking. Your grocery hauls look like mine. Seems as though it takes me longer to put it up than it did to go shopping and bring it home and put it up. I always enjoy the house cleaning, laundry, cooking, dusting, and cleaning the bathroom and just all the things. Your videos never disappoint. God bless you all and I’ll see you in the next one.
Thank you my friend!😊❤️ Yes putting the groceries away is the hardest part! But such a blessing!😊
I can definitely tell the dog between green and red grapes. Green taste much more tart. They’re not yummy though. Thanks for the motivation Arika! I’ve been here since way before the kitchen Reno and I love how you’ve done everything!! I know the hard work that has gone into each makeover and the budget needed to make them happen.

Those mashed potatoes looked so yummy 😋. You definitely have me wanting to make meatloaf and mashed potatoes 🤤
Your bedroom looks so calming.
I admire your willpower for baking I would eat too many I have to have more willpower myself ❤
