Robin, I read such a lovely and inspiring quote recently and I thought of you immediately! Here it is..... " The way you keep your house, the way you organize your time, the care you take in your personal appearance, the things you spend your money on all speak loudly about what you believe. 'The beauty of Thy peace' shines forth in an ordered life. " Elizabeth Elliot
That is beautiful! Look what was in my morning devotional just today (from an old book of Puritan prayers and devotions): "Sanctify and prosper my domestic devotion, instruction, discipline, example, that my house may be a nursery for heaven, my church the garden of the Lord, enriched with trees of righteousness of thy planting, for thy glory..."
The tiles are looking amazing in your kitchen! Yay the hood is up! 😄You guys worked so much and it shows, your home is so beautiful! The salad looks so delicious! Thank you for sharing all these great tips Robin! 💟🤗
I always love seeing you comment here, Noemi! I follow you both and love every second. Look forward to it every single week! It's a treat whenever I see that some of my favorite youtubers know and appreciate each other!
I have had a productive week. I cleaned my Living Room, including vacuuming our couch that is used daily. Did some cutting of photos for reframing. Finally I straightened my Craft Room. For me, who suffers from depression, that is alot. Thanks for your inspiring videos. Have a great summer weekend. Like the Saturday video.
Thank you both! That is wonderful to hear. You're doing an amazing job!!! This community of subscribers really is the best - I love that we can share our lives and be encouraged. God bless you and your families! 😊🌻💛
Your home is beautiful. My husband and I are praying for and anticipating owning our first home and watching your videos is so inspiring and makes me more excited. ☺️
I, too, have been intentionally exercising more self discipline around the house for the past 3 months and it works! It makes cleaning so much easier and the home much more pleasant! I just *loved* watching you taking the peel off the vent hood! You've waited a long time to get that TA-DAAA! :-)
Hi Robin ! Your videos are so impactful ! Every week you steer me back to the importance of keeping a clean and neat home and the importance of trying to enjoy it and take pride in it . I’m a good cleaner but not the greatest tidier at times . You really are good for me . And I’m so happy more people have found you . I noticed your subscribers are going up !
Hi Robin. Your channel is such an encouragement to me and many others I’m sure. Your home is looking so beautiful and bright. I love the clean fresh style you have chosen. I had to smile when I saw Austin watching the squirrel in your yard. Thank you for what you do. ❤️
Hi, Robin! I love the kitchen tiles. I also liked the bean salad. Austin is such a guard dog…LOL! Once again, a video with lots of tips to help us keep our home tidy. Thank you.
Thank you Sweet Robin! Thank you for your tip on boiling eggs something I will try. Robin I have missed Austin to so thank you for having hi on this video. Have a great week beautiful lady🇦🇺💜🤍🌹
I just made the pantry salad for dinner tonight, (with roasted chicken).. thank-you so much for the ideas! I was trying to organize my recipes on cards in a wooden box.. i think the notebook with covers is a great idea.. bigger sheets of paper!
Hello! I have recently become a stay at home mom far from any family. Your video touched me in a way I didn’t expect. It was like being home with all the women in my family around me. I appreciate the motivation and encouragement. Motherhood and homemaking is so wonderful but so much harder than I thought it would be and I needed you today ❤️ Thank you.
It's always so relaxing when I watch one of your videos, Robin. And, I definitely plan to introduce your 3-bean salad into my meal planning. Thank you for ALL you do! 👍🏼❤👏🏽
So excited to see that your kitchen is finally reaching completion! The range hood is gorgeous! Oh, and I'll definitely try the trick with the hard boiled eggs. I get frustrated when they don't peel, especially when I need to peel more than two or three at once (I know...first world problem!). LOVE those binders! Last year I started to write out my tried-and-true recipes and organize them into a binder for my daughter. If I haven't made it and unless it's one that I go back to again and again, it doesn't go in the book. I write them out because I want her to have something more personal than a print-out (although I use and file print-outs as well). Really enjoyed this video, Robin. I think I'll be rewatching this one!
Thank you Emm! You inspire me to keep going and I love hearing that you are encouraged and are finding joy in homemaking. 🙌 God bless you and your family! 😊🌻💛
Well you did it again. I watched your episode and I got so inspired that I emptied out the garage scrubbed the floors down and re-organized everything. Thank you for the push.
Thanks for sharing your recipes with us Robin! Once again, you have given me some motivation to do some cleaning! Enjoy your week and I will see you again next Sunday!
I also need to go through my recipe binder so thank you for the inspiration and the good ideas on how you have done yours. I loved your pretty binders! The bean salad looks amazing I’m going to make that this weekend😊
You have such a calm way of speaking and walking. A real contrast to my hectic movements.🙂 Where I live we have a small round gadget,where you press the egg into and a needle comes up to poke the egg. It is a safe way not to smouch the egg incidentally. One thing you should consider: You blocked the air vent holes of your microwave. 😯Not only could this be a fire hazard but it could damage the binders if there is hot wet air coming out or rather trying to come out.
I bought an egg cooker a few years ago, and it has been the best single use item I've ever bought. I tried several time to hard boil eggs on the stove and could never seen to get them cooked well enough. The egg cooker cooks them perfect every time!
Yay! Austin chasing squirrels! Anxious to try your hard boiled egg idea and love the bean salad reminder....haven't made something like that in a long time. Have a beautiful Sunday teacher.💝
Happy New Week! As always, THANKS for this upload 🤗. I totally agree with you about ROUTINES, MAKING ONE'S BED FIRST THING IN THE MORNING, and CLEANING AS YOU GO. I honestly cannot say how much of my everyday approach to life is uniquely my own because my parents reared us by installing these very same house keeping strategies. We were not allowed to leave a dirty kitchen after meals were cooked. We cleaned the dishes, wiped down the appliances, and mopped up the kitchen floors after each meal. We also were expected to have our beds made before we went to school; AND Saturday mornings were earmarked for household chores that needed done before we could do anything else 🤣. I know many children grow up to establish household routines of their very own, but my adult life isn't much different from the values my parents taught me; and they're basically the same tips and tricks that we've instilled in our kids. Perhaps the one thing that we do in our homes that's different from my upbringing is the removal of our shoes upon entering the Foyer or Mudroom. This tradition is normal for my Moroccan born husband, but I also discovered that the home carpeting and flooring stays cleaner when we're not tracking in the dirt and oil from outdoors. Our hardwood floors also aren't scratched nearly as often, if at all, from small bits of glass or stone trapped in the crevices of the soles on our shoes. Have a Great Week Ahead!
I look forward to your videos every week! So peaceful and yet you get so much done! I love your approach to home keeping and it has changed mine as well. Keep ‘em coming ❤️
Robin, the house is looking beautiful! I’m so grateful to watch this today, I really needed a reset for myself. My health hasn’t been the greatest for one thing or another in these past 3-4 months and I’ve let a lot of things go in my home and myself as well. I’m staying in the word and being faithful that God is holding me through it all. On top of that your encouraging and lovely videos are a great help. I know I have to start my reset today, for myself and my family. Keeping a tidy, orderly house helps so much♥️🙏🏼Thanks Robin and have a wonderful week ahead!
Thank you Lina! You have a wonderful attitude and I’m so glad that you are staying in the Word. I will be praying for you and hope that things start looking up soon. Your faithfulness is an amazing example. God bless you and you family! 🙏💛
Hi Robin, There’s nothing I enjoy more than making a cup of coffee and sitting down to watch your video every week👍👏 I get so much inspiration from them, you are so easy to watch and listen too - it’s like spending time with my best friend. Your kitchen is beautiful - the brick style splash back is very classy. We have had our bathroom tiled recently and the tiler used the same third spacing of the tiles - I wasn’t convinced about this, my husband was, so third spacing it was to be! I am so pleased that I did take his advice! I have to say I am over the moon with how it turned out. Have a good week Robin and thank you🙏🙋♀️. Ps great tip about the eggs👏👏
Robin I've watched you for a long time and just wanted to let you know how much I appreciate all of your hard work to produce these quality videos. We share the same homemaking philosophy, but the one thing I have learned from you is to live in the moment and slow down and enjoy the process no matter how tedious or boring it may seem to be. I don't need to tackle each day like my skirt is on fire! Thank you for sharing your time with each of us!!
Hi good morning Robin, I absolutely love this video. I’m in the process of trying to organize my recipes as well so I found this video inspirational and motivating. I was just wondering what you put in your divider tabs to organize? I thought that was a good idea to put them in alphabetical order. Makes finding them to be easier and quicker. I have an idea how I’d like to organize my recipes, but was just wondering how you titled your tabs? Any feedback would be greatly appreciated 😊 thank you!
White Vinegar is the ticket to bowling hard boiled eggs and getting the spell off and they also don't smell either been doing that for years. Put water into a pot half cup of white vinegar and boil them works great..... have a blessed day
Seeing Austin makes me smile 🤗 a few years ago, I did that same thing with my large recipe binder, much more convenient…..your new kitchen is beautiful…..thanks for sharing with us…..
Hi good day everyone. Here in Germany, they sell egg cookers that come with a measuring cup and at the bottom of the cup, outside, theres a poker. Looks like a needle . And use the same way as what ms Robin did. 😍In this case, the purpose is for steam to come out while cooking, thus avoiding the eggs to crack. ❤️❤️
Hello!!! I’ve been watching you a few minutes at a time all day. 😂 I have 2 kiddos that kept me hopping today so we got to only spend a few minutes at a time together! 😂 But I’m so glad we did. See you next week and thank you for sharing all of this wonderful inspiration 🙏🏻❤️ God Bless!!
I love your videos Robin. You have such a comforting voice, and I feel like I'm there with you in your home. Thanks for letting us come over ☺️ - and your Doggy is doing a great job showing those squirrels who's boss 😂
What a nice surprise to find your video a day early! The tiles look lovely. My favorite way to make hard boiled eggs is in my Instant Pot. They cook perfectly and are so easy to peel every single time no matter how fresh the eggs are. :-)
I’m doing just the same thing with my recipes. I have so many cook books and only use a handful of the recipes. So I have decided to write the recipes up and then the books can go to the charity shop.
Thank you! I'm so flattered that I'm in the running with those great ladies! I love them too. I appreciate you watching a day earlier and I hope that you have an amazing weekend ahead! 😊🌻💛
Love your peaceful and productive style. Would you mind sharing who makes the acrylic drawer and lazy Susan under your bathroom sink? Thank you for sharing such great content here on You Tube!😊
Hi Robin, love watching your videos, you are so calm and organised. Just wanted to mention you need to keep the vents on the side of your microwave clear - you put your pretty new note books tight to the microwave covering the vents, take care x
Hi Robin~Your videos always leave me feeling so inspired, with your blend of hard work, positivity and eye for beauty in the home. I loved it when you said you like to keep things tidy and company ready...makes me wish I could drop by for a little visit, lol! But fortunately, I sort of can; by watching your videos! I enjoyed seeing Austin hard at work on squirrel duty...he obviously puts his whole heart into his job! As you were peeling your boiled eggs, I was reminded of a new trick I recently discovered that I wanted to share. One day as I was prepping eggs for egg salad, and it came time to chop the eggs, an idea hit me...why not use my hand held pastry cutter [with blades] to chop them up? It worked like a charm, and they were done in just a few seconds! The bean salad looked so hearty and refreshing for these warm summer evenings! And lastly, your new notebooks are so lovely and cheerful...a lot like you : ) Pam
Kitchen looks great! I do my eggs in the Instant Pot. Easy peel every time no matter freshness. 1 1/2 cups water, use the metal insert that keeps them off bottom, manual with , Low pressure, 6-7 mins, quick release and then ice bath. That usually leaves the yolks not quite hard - a little dark yellow in center (like yours look).
You can slide a spoon around the inside of the shell after cracking the shell a bit. The white stays in tact perfectly and most of the shell comes off in very large pieces...better than shell crumbles!
Very soothing! I rotated laundry, folded a load, purged a few things and emptied the bathroom trash cans while I watched/listened! Thanks for the inspo 😊
Great progress and recipe. I love using binders and page protectors. I do that for my dream journal, recipes, gaming guides for the times I can't look up the information, and general notes. I love a large binder to keep all of my journal entries together. I need lots if recipes as Lee and our son Daniel get bored of foods so I'll have to rotate through them. I may do smaller binders per type of recipe like appetizer, breakfast, lunch, dinner, dessert, and snacks. I do a quick stew of canned diced tomatoes, canned corn, and canned black beans. I drain and rinse the beans. I add the rest with all their liquid. You can season it any way you like. I've been loving Cavender's Greek Seasoning in most of my savory dishes.
Wonderful video and a day early, win win! Thanks for the tip about the eggs. I usually use the 5/5/5 method with my Instant Pot, but that's a good one to know if I don't have access to it. Have a blessed Sunday and a great week. 😁
Great video for helping me stay motivated in our home during the summer when I want to be out in the yard all the time! Will be making the bean salad today. I had almost all the ingredients in our pantry! God bless, Lisa
Hi Robin. We tried your hard boiled egg tip this morning and it worked great! Thank you for sharing. I look forward to your videos every weekend. Have a blessed week.
Yes, you are right, the reset the of house is important. Even if you floors and windows are clean when everything is laying around doesn’t look good. It’s my problem, I know. So I’m motivated to to put away two instructions one for new grill and the second for new Shark vacuum cleaner. I just got it and I’m happy, thank you Robin. All done. There are few things after my beach day today, but I will put it away very soon, I promise. I love your new kitchen, you put a lot of effort in designing it not mentioned installing everything. Great job! Looks great and I love drawers instead shelves. They are more easy to use it. Enjoy your new house and keep posting new videoed please. 👍😊
I hope the new Saturday morning schedule is working for you 😊 that way you get a true Sunday, you know? I really appreciate the hard boiled egg trick! I just made a deviled egg potato salad for the 4th and let’s just say…I’m glad I cut up the eggs and tossed them. 1/4 of the white peeled off! I’m going to go through all of my recipes and order the binders! So excited for that 🤗
My Grandma always poked a hole in the bottom of an egg before boiling it never fails. Good old fashioned housewives tips are the best. Lovely video again Robin, thank you for sharing you lovely content.
Looks so easy and tasteful the last receipt, I’m going to try it for tomorrow as side dish, for lunch at work! Thanks for sharing 🌸 have a lovely Sunday
Great video, Robin! I love that bean salad too. Sometimes I throw in diced watermelon for a sweet & fruity twist. It’s very refreshing. Your kitchen backsplash is beautiful! Everything is coming together so well. Have a great weekend.
Thank you, Robin, it was another awesome and fun video for me. Have a fantastic and blessed weekend and week. Your pup was so cute chasing the squirrel. And omg, I never ever saw a spider so big and of that color, lol!
Thank you Kathy! You are the first to comment on the spider! I was worried that it wouldn't go over well! He/she has been living on our porch for a while now. I'm not a spider lover, but it's a writing spider - they catch all the bugs and reminds me of Charlotte's Web. 😄🕸💛
Love your shot of the property and cute Austin. You live in a beautiful place and your home is becoming “yours”, if that makes sense. Love your videos Robin. 🌼🌸🌺
Hi Robin, always enjoy your videos. I was just wondering if you might do a video on your and Patrick's early years. How you met, if you have always been a homemaker, how you decided to start your you tube channel and anything else you want to throw in. Thanks. Have a wonderful week!
Thank you Sharon! I love your suggestion - maybe one day I will convince Patrick to do a Q&A and we'll answer some of those questions. 👍 I appreciate you watching a day earlier! Have a wonderful start to your weekend! 😊🌻💛
I enjoyed your video…as always! Loved the tips for boiled eggs! Where did you get the white bowl with the navy stripe? I love it! It’s such a classic look!
Hi Robin, I did smile about your recipie file...I did my " cull" not long ago... I was amazed at how many sheets I recycled... I loved the tip about eggs... I'm going to try this next time I do hard boiled eggs... Have a good week, God Bless xx
I let eggs get to room temperature then dump hot water and put cool water in pot. I also add ice. This has been proven for me with hard-boiled. Thank you! So enjoyed this program!
Thanks Karen! I used to do it that way, but didn't get consistent results. It seems to work for a lot of people, so not sure what I was getting wrong! 🙈😂💛
I always put a small hole in the fat end of the egg before boiling. It helps to prevent the eggs from cracking when they go into the water. You really only need the tiniest of pin holes, I use a push pin like you use on a bulletin board. Also when putting them into the cold water I crack them then put into the cold water, it seems to make them easier to peel. Your home is lovely!
That's a great tip about the hard-boiled eggs. I'm not sure if I have some wire to use to make the hole, but I was thinking it might work with a wooden skewer.
I loved today's video, was so good. Especially enjoyed you taking videos of Austin on the job. Was so sweet and special. My husband watched that part also. Thanks for letting me know where to purchase the oven liners, hope they get here fairly soon. Thanks for bringing to mind on the recipes, that will be my project this week. God Bless you and family and have a great week.🌹🌷🌹
Thank you Melody! Glad Austin could entertain you both!😂 I think you are going to love the oven liners - a real life-saver for me! God bless you and your family! 😊🌻💛
Robin, you are such a Gem. Awesome idea for recipes, love the plastic covers, never thought of that. 🤣 Austin and the squirrel, our dog does the exact same thing, they are so much fun, Love seeing him. Glad he has lots of room at new place. You both have worked so hard at getting your house into a Home and it's Beautiful. Love your channel, you are so Gentle and do everything with so much Love and Care. ❤🇨🇦
Hello, Texas friend! 💛 Thank you for sharing your home and life with us! Your tips are so useful and inspiring to me! You have developed some great habits that look effortless once they are ingrained. God bless you and your family, Austin included! 😊🙏✝️
Thank you for watching a day earlier! I appreciate you spending your time with me so much! I Have a great start to your weekend and God bless! 😊🌻💛
Adding vinegar to the water stops the egg white from running out.☺
Hope your having a blessed week , Thankyou so much for all the tips certainly helps and keeps me motivated 😁
Robin, I read such a lovely and inspiring quote recently and I thought of you immediately! Here it is.....
" The way you keep your house, the way you organize your time, the care you take in your personal appearance, the things you spend your money on all speak loudly about what you believe. 'The beauty of Thy peace' shines forth in an ordered life. "

I don’t know why, but watching you label your new recipe binders felt very satisfying.
The tiles are looking amazing in your kitchen! Yay the hood is up! 😄You guys worked so much and it shows, your home is so beautiful! The salad looks so delicious! Thank you for sharing all these great tips Robin! 💟🤗
Thank you Noemi! Lots of love and hugs to you! 💛🤗💛

Hi good day everyone. Here in Germany, they sell egg cookers that come with a measuring cup and at the bottom of the cup, outside, theres a poker. Looks like a needle . And use the same way as what ms Robin did. 😍In this case, the purpose is for steam to come out while cooking, thus avoiding the eggs to crack. ❤️❤️
Hello!!! I’ve been watching you a few minutes at a time all day. 😂 I have 2 kiddos that kept me hopping today so we got to only spend a few minutes at a time together! 😂 But I’m so glad we did. See you next week and thank you for sharing all of this wonderful inspiration 🙏🏻❤️ God Bless!!
So love these soothing videos! You make household chores enjoyable. Your kitchen looks so nice!
Thank you Allie! I appreciate you spending your Saturday morning with me! 😊🌻💛
I was so happily surprised to see you this morning. I do the same as you with my recipes. It's time to go through them again. Have a great weekend
Thank you for watching a day earlier Judy! It's good to see you too! Have a great start to your weekend! 😊🌻💛
Great idea for organizing recipes. I didn’t see a link for the new notebooks that you used, very nice. Thank you.
Getting me started, love the salad am making it as soon as i get lunch dishes done. Peace!
Nice surprise to see this on a Saturday! ☺️ Have a great week
Thank you! I appreciate you watching a day earlier - I hope you enjoyed it! Have a great start to your weekend! 😊🌻💛
Hi Robin, another inspiring video for me, your kitchen is very neat and systematic. kitchen tiles are looking very clear. Lots of ♥️♥️
I love your videos Robin. You have such a comforting voice, and I feel like I'm there with you in your home. Thanks for letting us come over ☺️ - and your Doggy is doing a great job showing those squirrels who's boss 😂
What a nice surprise to find your video a day early! The tiles look lovely. My favorite way to make hard boiled eggs is in my Instant Pot. They cook perfectly and are so easy to peel every single time no matter how fresh the eggs are. :-)
I’m doing just the same thing with my recipes. I have so many cook books and only use a handful of the recipes. So I have decided to write the recipes up and then the books can go to the charity shop.
So happy to see this morning! Love watching you with my morning cup of coffee. You, Jennifer and Hilary are my favorites! Have blessed day💗
Thank you! I'm so flattered that I'm in the running with those great ladies! I love them too. I appreciate you watching a day earlier and I hope that you have an amazing weekend ahead! 😊🌻💛
Robin I love watching your videos. I appreciate the motivation they give me. I enjoy being a homemaker. Thank you for sharing with us.
Thank you so much Sandra and God bless!😊🌻💛
Love your peaceful and productive style. Would you mind sharing who makes the acrylic drawer and lazy Susan under your bathroom sink? Thank you for sharing such great content here on You Tube!😊
Hi Robin, love watching your videos, you are so calm and organised. Just wanted to mention you need to keep the vents on the side of your microwave clear - you put your pretty new note books tight to the microwave covering the vents, take care x
Hi Robin~Your videos always leave me feeling so inspired, with your blend of hard work, positivity and eye for beauty in the home. I loved it when you said you like to keep things tidy and company ready...makes me wish I could drop by for a little visit, lol! But fortunately, I sort of can; by watching your videos! I enjoyed seeing Austin hard at work on squirrel duty...he obviously puts his whole heart into his job! As you were peeling your boiled eggs, I was reminded of a new trick I recently discovered that I wanted to share. One day as I was prepping eggs for egg salad, and it came time to chop the eggs, an idea hit me...why not use my hand held pastry cutter [with blades] to chop them up? It worked like a charm, and they were done in just a few seconds! The bean salad looked so hearty and refreshing for these warm summer evenings! And lastly, your new notebooks are so lovely and cheerful...a lot like you : ) Pam
Kitchen looks great! I do my eggs in the Instant Pot. Easy peel every time no matter freshness. 1 1/2 cups water, use the metal insert that keeps them off bottom, manual with , Low pressure, 6-7 mins, quick release and then ice bath. That usually leaves the yolks not quite hard - a little dark yellow in center (like yours look).
Yes, they always peel easily using the instant pot.
I do mine in the instapot too. 5 minutes cook, 5 minutes release, then 5 minutes ice bath. Very easy to peel.
The salad looks delicious. I'm going to give it a try
I made the eggs the way you suggested this morning and they turned out perfectly! I used them to make deviled eggs. Thanks for the helpful tip!
You can slide a spoon around the inside of the shell after cracking the shell a bit. The white stays in tact perfectly and most of the shell comes off in very large pieces...better than shell crumbles!
Very soothing! I rotated laundry, folded a load, purged a few things and emptied the bathroom trash cans while I watched/listened!
Thanks for the inspo 😊
Wonderful! So glad we could tidy together! Sounds like your weekend is off to a great start! 😊🌻💛
Great progress and recipe. I love using binders and page protectors. I do that for my dream journal, recipes, gaming guides for the times I can't look up the information, and general notes. I love a large binder to keep all of my journal entries together. I need lots if recipes as Lee and our son Daniel get bored of foods so I'll have to rotate through them. I may do smaller binders per type of recipe like appetizer, breakfast, lunch, dinner, dessert, and snacks. I do a quick stew of canned diced tomatoes, canned corn, and canned black beans. I drain and rinse the beans. I add the rest with all their liquid. You can season it any way you like. I've been loving Cavender's Greek Seasoning in most of my savory dishes.
Wonderful video and a day early, win win! Thanks for the tip about the eggs. I usually use the 5/5/5 method with my Instant Pot, but that's a good one to know if I don't have access to it. Have a blessed Sunday and a great week. 😁
You’re an amazing woman!! Learning so much from you thanks robin!!
Thank you so much Sadie! Have a wonderful weekend and God bless! 😊🌻💛
You’ve shown me how to find joy in the art of homemaking. Thank you 🙂
We had chickens for years and learned to steam the eggs instead of boiling them. Easy peasy and great to peel
I so love your cooking Robin!❤️
Great video for helping me stay motivated in our home during the summer when I want to be out in the yard all the time! Will be making the bean salad today. I had almost all the ingredients in our pantry! God bless, Lisa
Hi Robin. We tried your hard boiled egg tip this morning and it worked great! Thank you for sharing. I look forward to your videos every weekend. Have a blessed week.
Yes, you are right, the reset the of house is important. Even if you floors and windows are clean when everything is laying around doesn’t look good. It’s my problem, I know.
So I’m motivated to to put away two instructions one for new grill and the second for new Shark vacuum cleaner. I just got it and I’m happy, thank you Robin. All done. There are few things after my beach day today, but I will put it away very soon, I promise.
I love your new kitchen, you put a lot of effort in designing it not mentioned installing everything. Great job! Looks great and I love drawers instead shelves. They are more easy to use it.
Enjoy your new house and keep posting new videoed please.
👍😊
Thank you Anna! 😊💛
The hood makes the whole kitchen so beautiful!
Austin loves his new home❤️
Thank you Robin!
Thank you Liane! I was starting to get used to the white cover and keep doing a double-take every time I walk into the kitchen! 👀😂
@@FaithandFlour 😂😂😂
I hope the new Saturday morning schedule is working for you 😊 that way you get a true Sunday, you know?
I really appreciate the hard boiled egg trick! I just made a deviled egg potato salad for the 4th and let’s just say…I’m glad I cut up the eggs and tossed them. 1/4 of the white peeled off!
I’m going to go through all of my recipes and order the binders! So excited for that 🤗
My Grandma always poked a hole in the bottom of an egg before boiling it never fails. Good old fashioned housewives tips are the best. Lovely video again Robin, thank you for sharing you lovely content.
Absolutely Samantha!!! Thank you for watching today! 😊🌻💛
Looks so easy and tasteful the last receipt, I’m going to try it for tomorrow as side dish, for lunch at work! Thanks for sharing 🌸 have a lovely Sunday
Great video, Robin! I love that bean salad too. Sometimes I throw in diced watermelon for a sweet & fruity twist. It’s very refreshing. Your kitchen backsplash is beautiful! Everything is coming together so well. Have a great weekend.
Thank you Elise! I never thought about adding watermelon - now I'm intrigued! I will have to give it a try. Enjoy your weekend! 😊🌻💛
Thank you, Robin, it was another awesome and fun video for me.
Have a fantastic and blessed weekend and week.
Your pup was so cute chasing the squirrel. And omg, I never ever saw a spider so big and of that color, lol!
Thank you Kathy! You are the first to comment on the spider! I was worried that it wouldn't go over well! He/she has been living on our porch for a while now. I'm not a spider lover, but it's a writing spider - they catch all the bugs and reminds me of Charlotte's Web. 😄🕸💛
@@FaithandFlour Lol!
Love your shot of the property and cute Austin. You live in a beautiful place and your home is becoming “yours”, if that makes sense. Love your videos Robin. 🌼🌸🌺
Hi Robin, always enjoy your videos. I was just wondering if you might do a video on your and Patrick's early years. How you met, if you have always been a homemaker, how you decided to start your you tube channel and anything else you want to throw in. Thanks. Have a wonderful week!
Thank you Sharon! I love your suggestion - maybe one day I will convince Patrick to do a Q&A and we'll answer some of those questions. 👍 I appreciate you watching a day earlier! Have a wonderful start to your weekend! 😊🌻💛
I enjoyed your video…as always! Loved the tips for boiled eggs! Where did you get the white bowl with the navy stripe? I love it! It’s such a classic look!
I am anxious to try the boil egg trick and it looks like it will work. Thank you Robin.
Thank you Robin! Take care.
The backsplash looks so good! Love the bean salad! And yes,
picking up around the house daily is always company ready & just makes a nice home!
Hi Robin, I did smile about your recipie file...I did my " cull" not long ago... I was amazed at how many sheets I recycled... I loved the tip about eggs... I'm going to try this next time I do hard boiled eggs... Have a good week, God Bless xx
Thank you for sharing the egg tip! We have hens so always have fresh eggs but they ar a challange to peal. I look forward to trying this.
I really hope it helps Alyssa! How nice to have your own hens! We love eggs and chickens are so fun!! Have a great start to your week! 😊🌻💛
I so enjoy your videos, looks like your getting ready to reach a milestone in your subscriber’s, yay
Thank you Marsha! I really appreciate you watching today. Hopefully we'll reach that milestone soon - couldn't have made it here without you! 😊🌻💛
I let eggs get to room temperature then dump hot water and put cool water in pot. I also add ice. This has been proven for me with hard-boiled. Thank you! So enjoyed this program!
Thanks Karen! I used to do it that way, but didn't get consistent results. It seems to work for a lot of people, so not sure what I was getting wrong! 🙈😂💛
I love you new kitchen! The food looks delicious.
I love your background music ❤️
I found using a rice steamer after the eggs come to room temperature works really well also
I always put a small hole in the fat end of the egg before boiling. It helps to prevent the eggs from cracking when they go into the water. You really only need the tiniest of pin holes, I use a push pin like you use on a bulletin board. Also when putting them into the cold water I crack them then put into the cold water, it seems to make them easier to peel. Your home is lovely!
Thank You for the inspiration!
That's a great tip about the hard-boiled eggs. I'm not sure if I have some wire to use to make the hole, but I was thinking it might work with a wooden skewer.
I loved today's video, was so good. Especially enjoyed you taking videos of Austin on the job. Was so sweet and special. My husband watched that part also. Thanks for letting me know where to purchase the oven liners, hope they get here fairly soon. Thanks for bringing to mind on the recipes, that will be my project this week. God Bless you and family and have a great week.🌹🌷🌹
Thank you Melody! Glad Austin could entertain you both!😂 I think you are going to love the oven liners - a real life-saver for me! God bless you and your family! 😊🌻💛
Hi Robin. Nice video. Where did you get your dining table? We recently moved and we’re looking for a dining table set. Yours is exactly what we need.
Robin, you are such a Gem. Awesome idea for recipes, love the plastic covers, never thought of that. 🤣 Austin and the squirrel, our dog does the exact same thing, they are so much fun, Love seeing him. Glad he has lots of room at new place.
You both have worked so hard at getting your house into a Home and it's Beautiful.
Love your channel, you are so Gentle and do everything with so much Love and Care.
❤🇨🇦
