Please don’t feel like you, (I.e., us) have to keep up with the Jones. I’d rather see cooking, gardening and some decorating. Even if it’s a 10 minute video is wonderful. We love you and love your videos. And, this video is great! I love that you are down to earth and REAL 😘❤️
Amy you are beautiful inside and out-at any weight. I appreciate that you are not trying to "show off" all your (high end) purchases in every video and I don't mind sponsored content-I'm always interested in learning about new things even if it is not for me. I also appreciate that you are soft spoken and thoughtful-unlike so much of the world. Your "style" resonates with me-so I hope you will continue with your channel and look forward to you expanding your content to include gardening and cooking!
I think you’re providing value by NOT doing the same flashy content as others. I appreciate your calm, gentle content that makes me feel like I’m just FaceTiming with a best girlfriend! Please always stay true to yourself and post what makes you happy. ❤
Your channel is a breath of fresh air. I’d much rather see thrifted or diy’d home decor than a shrine to Hobby Lobby. Whatever you do, I’ll be watching!❤️
Oh Amy, The reason look so forward to your videos is because they are beautiful, meaningful, and simple. I want to get as far away from the rat race and keeping up with the jones and every trend as possible. I want more channels like yours. You share what is important. We need all the reminders of that as we can get. You are so real and have such a soft and gentle soul. Please continue to share and help us grow.💝
I appreciate that you don’t always have to change your rooms. They are beautiful! I’m also happy you don’t always buy, buy, buy, like so many do.I’ve stopped watching some channels because of that. I like your simply, straightforward way. Love all your videos.
I subscribe to many TH-cam channels, but there is really only a handful that I watch whenever they post and you dear Amy are one of those. I love your channel, your content and your sweet nature. I’m a committed viewer and would love what ever content you choose to post. Your authenticity comes through whatever you choose to do. Thank you for always thinking of your viewers and always stay true to you!
You are such a warm and genuine, sincere person. Even with not meeting you, or knowing you personally, you give off a very caring vibe. I’m sure you are an amazing mother!
AMY Loved your chat today. Love you talking about your Christian values. Love that you care so deeply for your family. Children are such a blessing. I PRAY God will bless you in every way possible. Dianna
Bloom where you grow! Would love to see a new season of growing whether it’s your belief or gardening. Mostly just love to see your sunny smile. We’re all behind you whatever you choose. Just love your honesty.
You are one of my reasons for beginning my TH-cam journey. Your content is always perfect. I completely understand the “ Keeping up with the Jones”. I have prayed about it numerous times…and all I kept hearing from God was “you do you”. I think you are absolutely precious. Thank you for all your inspiration and You do You♥️♥️♥️
Hi Amy! I have been a follower of yours for a few years now and you are one of my all time favorite accounts! It’s not so much the content you share (although I do love it) but more about your heart that you share that connects me to you! The love you have for the Lord and for your family exudes from you and you truly bring my heart so much joy! So proud of you for sharing what’s truly on your heart and always staying true to who you are. We all change during different seasons of our lives and that will always be ok!! Also, congrats on your weight loss journey, what an accomplishment! Much love to you always! ❤
Hi Amy. I so appreciate your honesty in this video. You have such a kind and gentle spirit and are a joy to watch. It doesn't matter to me what content you post on here, it is always inspiring. Thank you for not feeling pressured to show big hauls as all the decor starts to look the same in the homes of other youtubers. You are a genuine and beautiful young woman. I am in my 60s and have learned much from you. Looking forward to watching more videos in the future. God bless and Happy Easter!
Amy, I so appreciate who you are. Honestly, I have been a subscriber from way back when you were in Georgia and it has been such a joy to see how you have evolved. From my perspective, you are at your best in this present moment. I remember your lovely house in the south and it was a showpiece, but the home you live in now radiates your warmth and love. I don't watch you to see how much decor you purchase. I watch you because of the way you share how you create a place to serve your family. Without a doubt you are one of the most talented creators on you tube. All you need to do is be you. Your sincerity, encouragement and grace gives us a soft spot to land where we can learn a tip or two along the way. No need to worry about the value of your channel. It's perfect regardless of what you decide to film. Sometimes we all feel that life would be better if we could only reach the other side of the rainbow when what we really need to hold dear is that there is no place like home. See you in the next video :)
Spring is almost here and everyone’s outlook will get a big boost! I love your content and home and decor ideas but my favorite thing about your channel is your smile. I could sit and watch and listen all day. We watch because we like YOU. I am probably old enough to be your momma and will agree with the less is more makeup. The older I get, the less I wear. I liked the format of this catch up on life video. Blessings to you and your family. 😊
Amy, thank you for sharing! I follow quite a few you tubers and you are one of my top 5 for sure. One of the things I love about your channel is that you are real! I love your content, and your decorating style. Your home looks so cozy and relaxing. I like neutrals too and we recently painted our walls a light sage green which I love. What you said about loving to be a homemaker resonates with me. That is how I have felt since we first got married and through all the stages of our almost 43 years of marriage. We raised three kids and I always tried to make our home our sanctuary, our haven. We are now grandparents of 8 but I still love being a homemaker.keeping up with the joneses was never my style. Whatever you share I will enjoy because it comes from your heart.
Also- I’m sooooo drawn to “Simple living content” these days!! It’s okay to do some soul searching and finding what you’d like to create in this season! We’re rooting for you and we support you!🤍🤍🤍
Amy.....You have always given us down to earth knowledge on cooking , cleaning, and decorating...and we thank you. Never feel like you have to follow others. Just what you said earlier....being thankful for everything....your home, family, food. That really made me think too and I thank you. There is times I get in a mood and how wrong is that!!!! I have a home..a loving husband and food on our table. So many do not have this. You are special...stay the way you are and you can't go wrong. God is smiling. Blessings my friend. ♥️🙏Ps....you look great. I too have been trying to move more and eat less. So easy to gain. Lol😣
That's why we love you and your channel. We love simple living, simple decorating, and gardening. You are mine and my sisters favorite. Last year we watch you work in your flowerbed and my sister went home and put in her first ever flowerbed and worked in it all summer. Just keep doing what you're doing.
I never usually comment on TH-cam videos but I felt absolutely compelled to do so this time! You are so sweet and lovely and I really admire your openness and honesty. I love that you don’t encourage your viewers to spend big, especially in this current environment. I also love how you encourage us to be grateful for what we already have and to be content in our home making journey. Thank you for being you and bringing a lovely, real, positive, uplifting channel to TH-cam. God bless you 💗
So glad to hear of your weight loss & how much healthier and happier you feel! You look great! As for your video content, continue to be yourself. ❤ Post what makes you happy. 😊
Dear Amy, I am a 72 year old lady. I live on Social Security. I am not interested in content creators who just buy, buy, buy. Really, that seems so unrealistic and wasteful. I enjoy watching regular people who live creative, clean, wholesome lives. So you have a niche.
I think your answer about what you love about being a homemaker was an excellent answer. I stayed home and also had a career and I can tell you I worked a lot harder being home for my kids than I ever did in the corporate world. I too feel it is great to have a beautiful, clean, joyful, safe haven for your children. Love you being you! I too love the less is more, but I have way to much.😊
Your parents did such a great raising you. I love your comments on gratitude. We are so blessed in this country. There are so many little things for which we can be grateful. Just as you are so forgiving of others, don’t forget to give yourself a little grace as well. Wishing you and your family a blessed Easter!
Amy that's what draws me to your channel is your authenticity. You bring inspiration and creativity with thrifted and antique finds. It's not always about the new hot trends. It doesn't matter how many videos you put out, but the quality. Continue to be the person we have come to admire and adore. ❤
Well, let me just say… YOU and your channel are my FAVORITE on TH-cam. Having said that, I honestly almost enjoy your weekly emails more than content. Let me explain. I love visiting in your home and gaining inspiration from you. It’s fantastic! But for me, the emails seem to be more YOU! Without the filter. More Jesus girl and more of what I relate to. We get your true heart in those communications. Now I am here and will support any platform you choose. Don’t worry about content and buying all the HB greatest and latest! I personally do not care about that stuff. I just want to visit my friend, sit on porch and share cup of coffee, do Bible study or devotional and then share whatever is going on in your world. 🤗
Yes, food videos and planning....you do everything so well...love your videos, a favorite of mine....we love all you do, not a bunch of stuff around your home....do food meals for us
I feel like I know you so much better. I remember your front porch in the fall and believe it was the best one I had ever seen. I have continued to watch even though I am probably more of a maximalist. I am 80 and I love to watch all the great ladies who do this amazing stuff. God bless.
I recently started following you & I love how you are genuine & shine. I believe it’s healthy to step back & look at your business & see what may need to change just as we grow with our maturity. At 67 myself I have never regretted being home with my family & you are right to keep that your #1 goal. You are beautiful & blessed for sure.
Amy I am glad you feel comfortable enough to tell us what you’re feeling. I can only imagine the pressures TH-cam creators feel to ‘keep up’. But truly you are such a dear and kind person that I feel no one wants you to feel that way. I personally would continue to watch you even if you just came on and talked about whatever and if you only came on once a month or once a year I would continue to follow you. I just want you to do what is best for you and your family. I love gardening so I’m excited that you are going to share that with us. It’s all good God Bless you Amy ❤️.
You are a true blessing. I love your honesty. Congratulations on your health journey. I am 74 and in 2020 I weighed 250 and I now manage my weight between 140 to 147. God is good 😊
Amy, I haven't been watching you long, but I love your gracious demeanor and your smile. You remind me of things that are really important, like bringing peace and calm to myself and the people around me. Your gentle ways make me reflect on my blessings and be grateful for who and what I have. I don't mind the sponsored content, because it is way better than commercials on TV, and some of the products I would never know about except for your videos. Maybe adding the cooking content would alleviate the feeling that you have to do something dramatic for each video (I would like to learn how to make salsa. Can you make it without jalapenos?). You could give us tips on what ingredients are best, like the tomatoes you mentioned. God bless you, Amy!
Take a breather, find what makes you happy...but please don't leave this platform. I so enjoy your content, ideas and style.❤ We are blessed to have you and love your open hearted-way of talking and sharing your beautiful home.
You are one of the TH-camrs I'm most excited to see when you post. I love your simple life content and it really helps me feel grateful for what I have. I'd love to see cooking and gardening content! No matter what your channel becomes, I'll still watch! Congratulations and best of luck as you continue on your health journey!
Loved hanging out with you, Amy!! It is nice to hear your true genuine life story!! I know this platform is hard and can lead to burnout or just feeling inadequate. You do amazing and your kindness and simple homemaking makes your channel so so special!! God has a plan for you and I have no doubts it will be spectacular!! Have a lovely day, my friend!! Thanks for sharing!!! Love in Christ!! ❤
I honestly can say this is one of my favorite videos you have done. Thank you for being so open and honest about everything! I love how genuine you are. You look terrific too!
Amy, you are such a special person! I watch a lot of decorating channels, and you really stand out! You have such a calm demeanor and your smile lights up your whole face. Keep doing what you enjoy and want to share with us…..we will be here for it! God bless you and your family! 🙏💕🙏
Your gentle and kind spirit is what I most love about this channel. I’ve only been following for a couple years or so and it’s that kindness that brings me back. I’m glad you don’t want to spend lots of money on decor, most people in real life don’t or can’t do that either. We live in a time where so many people have lost all sense of manners, kindness and consideration of others. Speaking without thinking whether truth or not, for many has become a new normal. I think from reading some of the comments that the majority of your subscribers appreciate you for who you are and if that’s not the case, the good news for them is that they will have no trouble finding what they’re looking for elsewhere. Your beauty comes from who you are, a quiet and gentle spirit. You’re a blessing, an encouragement and an inspiration to many! May the Lord bless you this Holy Week. Happy Easter to you and your family.
I love your videos about simple living as I’m trying to simplify myself as opposed to going out and buying a big haul. I’m trying to use what I already have and shop my home. I would like to see more content regarding healthy recipes,meal planning and gardening. I understand the need for sponsorships and don’t mind watching them as I’m getting free decorating advice. Your videos are very inspirational and you look amazing!
Hey Amy! I ❤ ur channel. I get so excited when I c u have a new video. Would luv to c some cooking videos!!! I must b in the same funk as u. I used to luv all the extras of buying and watching videos, but for the past year I am down to watching just a few videos and they r all more simplistic home decorating, homesteading, cooking and grocery hauls! U remain my favorite. U rock Amy!❤️
I think that you and your home are the shining jewels. I appreciate your love and commitment for your family and all the time and energy you give to us also. I LOVE your home and how you style it. It's not cluttered so it radiates calm and peaceful. Congratulations on your weight loss and healthier living. I hope that you will share your garden planting, etc. once the weather warms up.
Amy I ❤❤❤ that you aren’t just buying things just for the sake of creating content. Your channel is so refreshing and so realistic to me. And yes please share gardening…. I was gifted a container and I’m looking forward to any insight
I think sometimes when TH-camrs have certain content they don’t want to change that content even if they evolved in what they’re interested in. We all go through different seasons, so Amy, I enjoy you whatever you would post. It’s your beautiful energy. I love pressure canning, gardening, the art of bread making, the prefect strawberry lemonade recipe lol
Awww, dear Amy. Thank you for being so honest and genuine. I have noticed other TH-camrs sort of trying too hard to make content and their channel suffers, maybe not with numbers, but the authenticity of their videos (not sponsorships per se, but just that feeling of like its not quality content anymore or its forced). I truly do enjoy your content and often look in for new videos. I appreciate your kind heart in all your videos.
I enjoyed this video. I'm relatively new to your channel, so it was a get to know you time. I appreciate the fact that you're not out shopping every video, spending hundreds of dollars. That's not everybody's lifestyle, mine included. Thank you for all your hard work and can't wait to see what's to come.
I really enjoyed our “chat” you are sooo honest and refreshing! I can tell how much you love your family..❤️I struggle with weight and I’d love to hear your suggestions for snacks and meals…you have no idea what you mean to all of us!!!🌷🌷🌷
You are by far my favorite you tuber and Instagramer to follow! You are such an inspiration, and I find myself shopping for decor and thinking “is this something Amy would put in her house?” because I admire your style so much! I totally get the funk, but hope to see you back more frequently soon! Thank you for sharing with us!
Amy, you are one of the sweetest persons on you tube. If you need to take time to refresh there is nothing wrong with it. We all get to a point where we need to clear our minds. It has got to be difficult not only to come up with ideas and edit. By the way you are looking great just pace yourself. I've been there many times myself. Enjoy your family. Things will get better it has been a long winter. I live in the mid west as well. Just remember we are here for you.
Amy you are such a sweetheart! Thank you for opening up with all of us. We are all so proud of you & you are such a great example to follow. Have a blessed Easter 🐰🌸🐰🌸
Love your sincerity and humility! I’ve been a long time follower but never comment. You inspire me in many way! Congratulations on your weight loss! Happiness looks good on you! 💗💗
Amy, You have a beautiful and quiet spirit. We need more Amy's in this world. Thank you for your authenticity and for sharing your personal story. Congratulations on your journey to better health!
Really appreciate your honesty! Love your content, the simplicity but gorgeous home is what keeps me coming back. Your aesthetic is one of the best on TH-cam!
There is so much value in the activities of what we consider just the routine of everyday life. This is where so many of us find inspiration from others! I would LOVE to see more recipe, mean planning and gardening videos! Love your videos no matter what you share.
Love your videos no matter the content. You are just so enjoyable to watch. Calm, relaxing, beautiful videos, always. You do you......we'll keep watching! ❤
Your genuine beauty and honesty SHINES through. I love the simplicity of your decor and is so refreshing. Your explanation of providing for a loving family and being there for them was absolutely beautiful. You ooze and drip with sweetness. We need more people on you tube like you...I'm hooked and look forward to your content no matter when it comes.Btw..you look amazing!!!
I love this! I love your decorating advice! I love how you spread joy by talking with a smile and I definitely think you should "just go for it" and share what you cook! You are such an inspiration!
Amy, thanks for this video and your honesty. You are such a warm and genuine person. I appreciate that so much. Congratulations on your weight loss. It’s not always an easy thing to do. I always enjoy your videos and look forward to your future videos with any content you choose including sponsorships.
Wow, thanks for the time you give to us. Your words and your manner are so encouraging. It is a blessing to listen to a young woman who loves her husband and children and who provides a haven for growth and development for them. You honor your Saviour in an amazing way. Keep up the good work !!
This video was great!! We all have the same feelings and straggles at some point in our lives. Good for you for getting that point where you were ready to do something about your weight! That’s the biggest step. You are looking great!! I really enjoy your videos.
Loves this video! I love to follow all your videos for you, not just for decorating content. So if you cook, garden, whatever, I’m going to be here for it! Appreciate you sharing your heart with us
Just BE YOU! This Winter has seemed so long and I too have felt that funk. Why people worry about ad’s is beyond me. I find some really interesting things in ad’s! (am I weird that I like ad’s and commercial’s? 😊) And we DO have the choice to skip or even to watch. Again, Just Be YOU! We love you as you are. I find you refreshing and relaxing to watch. and I always find your content informative and interesting! No matter what you post. And I will send a prayer for you to help you through this transition and changes and pathway.
Thanks for sharing! P.S. Simplistic content is sustainable content. I think a shift in what people enjoy will surprise the algorithm. I appreciate your content and look forward to whatever you feel most inspired to share!
Honey I don't make comments, but I am always here and so love your content. Never think that what you do has no value. You love your Lord, you love your husband, your precious babies, your home, your extended family and us. You are a precious child of God, who is not afraid to state what you feel, your love of all of the things that you value. I so admire that quality in you. I'm always afraid of what people think of me and let this color what I do or say. Know that I for one adore you and love your content and your values. God bless you and yours always.
Beautiful description of the value of being a homemaker - the most important job you will ever have. Such a blessing to have the choice. The best parent is a happy parent - so do what makes you happy - inside or outside the home. Support each other’s choices. ❤️
I’ve unsubscribed from TH-camrs that are unrealistic and it’s new furniture, new decor for every season and some even moving into new homes one after the next just to keep up with content. It’s quite sad and I appreciate someone like you who is realistic and not afraid to just live the life you love for you and your family ❤
I just wanted to say that I love watching your videos and how genuine you are! Also congratulations on your weight loss! Hope you and your family have a wonderful Easter!
I just found your channel a few months ago and I love it. Your decorating is so beautiful and really peaceful and lovely. I'm a little burned out on all the cleaning videos, it seems like some channels only do that. I like them sometimes but the decorating and crafts and diys are much more Interesting to me. I really loved your gardens and your front porch refresh. I have been trying to drop some weight too. I am on WW and it really helps me keep track of what I am eating. I have lost 22 since the first of the year, going slow and steady. Anyway...all this to say that I really enjoy your show! Will be watching!
Thank you so much for your transparency . We all go through funks and funky lol! I’m much older than you,starting over from divorce! I really enjoy all the tips and just the sincere efforts you put in for all of us ! I’m sure 99.999% of your viewers understand and appreciate your honesty and are waiting to see the sweet success you so deserve! Pass the biscuits we are all friends here❣️🍓🌿🥗👙💜
I love Watching your Channel because it’s Calm and Real I am glad you are losing weight for you! You look good. I look forward to any new things you decide to do ❤ Keep it up!
I really enjoyed hearing about your life, and found everything you shared so inspiring! Thank you for being yourself and being honest about the weight loss approach, your mindset around how you want to handle your home/channel! ♥♥♥
Girl, I'm with you. After my 3rd kid(he's 12 now) I didn't lose all of the weight. Then 2020 happened, and I ate like crap(I'm still in bad habits), and I gained 30 pounds!!! Throw In there my husband losing his job, a subsequent lawsuit, pulling my kids out of public school for a year, and then moving from NY to TN. I have been on the stress bus with unhealthy eating habits for 3 years. I desperately need to get out of this funk I'm still in.
Amy, many of us really prefer the simpler life inspiration. It is so inspiring to see that not everyone thinks that we should spend, spend spend and consume more! Also, I can relate to your weight gain story, and I'm amazed by your discipline, because it is NOT easy to change lifestyle!
I apologize for being lengthy but I feel I'm supposed to share with you what I feel in my spirit... I'm a 64 yr.young pastor also from Ohio....I have watched your videos for a year or so and your gentle, beautiful spirit was so refreshing.I listened carefully to every word you spoke in this video... I have watched you grow so much spiritually and whether you know it or not God has given you an amazing You Tube family... He has used this to position you for the next part of your video journey ..He has changed your perception of what you need to share and what is important for the season we are all in ...My sweet friend you have been chosen to be a part of bringing women to a place of strength and dignity and self worth in a world that makes women feel like if they stay home their just a housewife...He will use you to bring an understanding of the importance of caring for our homes and families....God has given you many gifts and now it's time to step into your rightful place God created for you. Fear not, He will go before you. Listen for the whispers of the Holy Spirit,continually pray for His direction and stay in His word.Its an exciting time for you sweetie... enjoy it..❤ I hope this blessed you..that was the intention. Love and Prayers
You're so lovely and serene, I love your content. I'm so tired of the Target, Walmart hauls and now even worse the Temu hauls. Who needs all that plastic from China. The Target hauls kill me, they go and buy all the same stuff they already have, why? I would rather have one old wooden table from a garage sale than all the mdf stuff from Target and Walmart!!
As I'm binge-watching your channel, it's so refreshing to hear that I'm not crazy for experiencing TH-cam burn-out. I gained the biggest chunk of followers because I posted an empty house tour. I only posted it because I was excited to share it. But I'm a musician, I sing, I love to talk about Jesus and encourage women in so many different ways. I don't want to be tied down to a niche. Thanks for sharing your experiences with that.
Please don’t feel like you, (I.e., us) have to keep up with the Jones. I’d rather see cooking, gardening and some decorating. Even if it’s a 10 minute video is wonderful. We love you and love your videos. And, this video is great! I love that you are down to earth and REAL 😘❤️
She very special and I agree ....I’d take a 10 minute video too
Thank you ! You are a darling girl and great mom! Keep doing what you love. I love your decor style!
Amy…Don’t worry about what people say…You are one of the best out there…We love it when you post…Congrats on your
Weight lost…You look great😘
Totally agree‼️❤️
Thanks for your honesty. I love that about you ❤
Amy you are beautiful inside and out-at any weight. I appreciate that you are not trying to "show off" all your (high end) purchases in every video and I don't mind sponsored content-I'm always interested in learning about new things even if it is not for me. I also appreciate that you are soft spoken and thoughtful-unlike so much of the world. Your "style" resonates with me-so I hope you will continue with your channel and look forward to you expanding your content to include gardening and cooking!
Congratulations Amy. Your creative simplicity is appreciated. I enjoy your honesty & joy you share on your channel.
What she said!
I think you’re providing value by NOT doing the same flashy content as others. I appreciate your calm, gentle content that makes me feel like I’m just FaceTiming with a best girlfriend! Please always stay true to yourself and post what makes you happy. ❤
Your channel is a breath of fresh air. I’d much rather see thrifted or diy’d home decor than a shrine to Hobby Lobby. Whatever you do, I’ll be watching!❤️
Providing simplicity and simple living is in itself VALUABLE!! Love from NYC!! ❤
Oh Amy, The reason look so forward to your videos is because they are beautiful, meaningful, and simple. I want to get as far away from the rat race and keeping up with the jones and every trend as possible. I want more channels like yours. You share what is important. We need all the reminders of that as we can get. You are so real and have such a soft and gentle soul. Please continue to share and help us grow.💝
Couldn't say it better. Right on
I appreciate that you don’t always have to change your rooms. They are beautiful! I’m also happy you don’t always buy, buy, buy, like so many do.I’ve stopped watching some channels because of that. I like your simply, straightforward way. Love all your videos.
I subscribe to many TH-cam channels, but there is really only a handful that I watch whenever they post and you dear Amy are one of those. I love your channel, your content and your sweet nature. I’m a committed viewer and would love what ever content you choose to post. Your authenticity comes through whatever you choose to do. Thank you for always thinking of your viewers and always stay true to you!
I don’t understand why some people have a problem with sponsorship. I think that’s amazing that you guys can actually get something out of it!! ❤❤❤
100% this. I meant to address it in my comment and forgot what else I had wanted to say.
You are such a warm and genuine, sincere person. Even with not meeting you, or knowing you personally, you give off a very caring vibe. I’m sure you are an amazing mother!
AMY Loved your chat today. Love you talking about your Christian values. Love that you care so deeply for your family. Children are such a blessing. I PRAY God will bless you in every way possible. Dianna
Bloom where you grow! Would love to see a new season of growing whether it’s your belief or gardening. Mostly just love to see your sunny smile. We’re all behind you whatever you choose. Just love your honesty.
I love the joy in your face when you described homemaker who loves to create a safe haven for your family! ❤️
Carolyn I’m so glad you commented on this. I’ve always when watching think of that phrase “a soft place to land”.
Me too. An incredibly unvalued aspiration!
You are one of my reasons for beginning my TH-cam journey. Your content is always perfect. I completely understand the “ Keeping up with the Jones”. I have prayed about it numerous times…and all I kept hearing from God was “you do you”. I think you are absolutely precious. Thank you for all your inspiration and You do You♥️♥️♥️
Hi Amy! I have been a follower of yours for a few years now and you are one of my all time favorite accounts! It’s not so much the content you share (although I do love it) but more about your heart that you share that connects me to you! The love you have for the Lord and for your family exudes from you and you truly bring my heart so much joy! So proud of you for sharing what’s truly on your heart and always staying true to who you are. We all change during different seasons of our lives and that will always be ok!! Also, congrats on your weight loss journey, what an accomplishment! Much love to you always! ❤
You are so precious!!! Keep doing what you do, at your own pace, and just enjoy life.😊
Hi Amy. I so appreciate your honesty in this video. You have such a kind and gentle spirit and are a joy to watch. It doesn't matter to me what content you post on here, it is always inspiring. Thank you for not feeling pressured to show big hauls as all the decor starts to look the same in the homes of other youtubers. You are a genuine and beautiful young woman. I am in my 60s and have learned much from you. Looking forward to watching more videos in the future. God bless and Happy Easter!
Extremely well said
Same here, I'm 62, and we don't need to be impressed. I actually would love watching your weight loss journey becuz I'm really struggling here 🌻🌷👍🪻💞
Much agreed 💯
Amy, I so appreciate who you are. Honestly, I have been a subscriber from way back when you were in Georgia and it has been such a joy to see how you have evolved. From my perspective, you are at your best in this present moment. I remember your lovely house in the south and it was a showpiece, but the home you live in now radiates your warmth and love. I don't watch you to see how much decor you purchase. I watch you because of the way you share how you create a place to serve your family. Without a doubt you are one of the most talented creators on you tube. All you need to do is be you. Your sincerity, encouragement and grace gives us a soft spot to land where we can learn a tip or two along the way. No need to worry about the value of your channel. It's perfect regardless of what you decide to film. Sometimes we all feel that life would be better if we could only reach the other side of the rainbow when what we really need to hold dear is that there is no place like home. See you in the next video :)
Spring is almost here and everyone’s outlook will get a big boost! I love your content and home and decor ideas but my favorite thing about your channel is your smile. I could sit and watch and listen all day. We watch because we like YOU. I am probably old enough to be your momma and will agree with the less is more makeup. The older I get, the less I wear. I liked the format of this catch up on life video. Blessings to you and your family. 😊
And if I had a son and he brought someone like you home I would be the proudest Mom. Gurl please…you’re amazing!!!!!
Amy, thank you for sharing! I follow quite a few you tubers and you are one of my top 5 for sure. One of the things I love about your channel is that you are real! I love your content, and your decorating style. Your home looks so cozy and relaxing. I like neutrals too and we recently painted our walls a light sage green which I love. What you said about loving to be a homemaker resonates with me. That is how I have felt since we first got married and through all the stages of our almost 43 years of marriage. We raised three kids and I always tried to make our home our sanctuary, our haven. We are now grandparents of 8 but I still love being a homemaker.keeping up with the joneses was never my style. Whatever you share I will enjoy because it comes from your heart.
Also- I’m sooooo drawn to “Simple living content” these days!! It’s okay to do some soul searching and finding what you’d like to create in this season! We’re rooting for you and we support you!🤍🤍🤍
Amy.....You have always given us down to earth knowledge on cooking , cleaning, and decorating...and we thank you. Never feel like you have to follow others. Just what you said earlier....being thankful for everything....your home, family, food. That really made me think too and I thank you. There is times I get in a mood and how wrong is that!!!! I have a home..a loving husband and food on our table. So many do not have this. You are special...stay the way you are and you can't go wrong. God is smiling. Blessings my friend. ♥️🙏Ps....you look great. I too have been trying to move more and eat less. So easy to gain. Lol😣
That's why we love you and your channel. We love simple living, simple decorating, and gardening. You are mine and my sisters favorite. Last year we watch you work in your flowerbed and my sister went home and put in her first ever flowerbed and worked in it all summer. Just keep doing what you're doing.
Wow, thank you!
I never usually comment on TH-cam videos but I felt absolutely compelled to do so this time!
You are so sweet and lovely and I really admire your openness and honesty. I love that you don’t encourage your viewers to spend big, especially in this current environment.
I also love how you encourage us to be grateful for what we already have and to be content in our home making journey. Thank you for being you and bringing a lovely, real, positive, uplifting channel to TH-cam.
God bless you 💗
Aw, thank you!!!
Amy, do what makes you happy. Be your authentic self. You videos are great.
So glad to hear of your weight loss & how much healthier and happier you feel! You look great! As for your video content, continue to be yourself. ❤ Post what makes you happy. 😊
Dear Amy, I am a 72 year old lady. I live on Social Security. I am not interested in content creators who just buy, buy, buy. Really, that seems so unrealistic and wasteful. I enjoy watching regular people who live creative, clean, wholesome lives. So you have a niche.
I think your answer about what you love about being a homemaker was an excellent answer. I stayed home and also had a career and I can tell you I worked a lot harder being home for my kids than I ever did in the corporate world. I too feel it is great to have a beautiful, clean, joyful, safe haven for your children. Love you being you! I too love the less is more, but I have way to much.😊
Your parents did such a great raising you. I love your comments on gratitude. We are so blessed in this country. There are so many little things for which we can be grateful. Just as you are so forgiving of others, don’t forget to give yourself a little grace as well. Wishing you and your family a blessed Easter!
Thanks!
Amy that's what draws me to your channel is your authenticity. You bring inspiration and creativity with thrifted and antique finds. It's not always about the new hot trends. It doesn't matter how many videos you put out, but the quality. Continue to be the person we have come to admire and adore. ❤
Gratitude is so important in those seasons.😊
Well, let me just say… YOU and your channel are my FAVORITE on TH-cam. Having said that, I honestly almost enjoy your weekly emails more than content. Let me explain. I love visiting in your home and gaining inspiration from you. It’s fantastic! But for me, the emails seem to be more YOU! Without the filter. More Jesus girl and more of what I relate to. We get your true heart in those communications.
Now I am here and will support any platform you choose. Don’t worry about content and buying all the HB greatest and latest! I personally do not care about that stuff.
I just want to visit my friend, sit on porch and share cup of coffee, do Bible study or devotional and then share whatever is going on in your world. 🤗
Yes, food videos and planning....you do everything so well...love your videos, a favorite of mine....we love all you do, not a bunch of stuff around your home....do food meals for us
You be you. You're terrific.
I feel like I know you so much better. I remember your front porch in the fall and believe it was the best one I had ever seen. I have continued to watch even though I am probably more of a maximalist. I am 80 and I love to watch all the great ladies who do this amazing stuff. God bless.
I recently started following you & I love how you are genuine & shine. I believe it’s healthy to step back & look at your business & see what may need to change just as we grow with our maturity. At 67 myself I have never regretted being home with my family & you are right to keep that your #1 goal. You are beautiful & blessed for sure.
I love that you are genuinely true to yourself and family, that’s what makes you so relatable Amy! Love your channel and content. 🌷🥰
Amy I am glad you feel comfortable enough to tell us what you’re feeling. I can only imagine the pressures TH-cam creators feel to ‘keep up’. But truly you are such a dear and kind person that I feel no one wants you to feel that way. I personally would continue to watch you even if you just came on and talked about whatever and if you only came on once a month or once a year I would continue to follow you. I just want you to do what is best for you and your family. I love gardening so I’m excited that you are going to share that with us. It’s all good God Bless you Amy ❤️.
You are a true blessing. I love your honesty. Congratulations on your health journey. I am 74 and in 2020 I weighed 250 and I now manage my weight between 140 to 147. God is good 😊
Thanks!
Amy, I haven't been watching you long, but I love your gracious demeanor and your smile. You remind me of things that are really important, like bringing peace and calm to myself and the people around me. Your gentle ways make me reflect on my blessings and be grateful for who and what I have. I don't mind the sponsored content, because it is way better than commercials on TV, and some of the products I would never know about except for your videos. Maybe adding the cooking content would alleviate the feeling that you have to do something dramatic for each video (I would like to learn how to make salsa. Can you make it without jalapenos?). You could give us tips on what ingredients are best, like the tomatoes you mentioned. God bless you, Amy!
Take a breather, find what makes you happy...but please don't leave this platform. I so enjoy your content, ideas and style.❤ We are blessed to have you and love your open hearted-way of talking and sharing your beautiful home.
You are one of the TH-camrs I'm most excited to see when you post. I love your simple life content and it really helps me feel grateful for what I have. I'd love to see cooking and gardening content! No matter what your channel becomes, I'll still watch! Congratulations and best of luck as you continue on your health journey!
Loved hanging out with you, Amy!! It is nice to hear your true genuine life story!! I know this platform is hard and can lead to burnout or just feeling inadequate. You do amazing and your kindness and simple homemaking makes your channel so so special!! God has a plan for you and I have no doubts it will be spectacular!! Have a lovely day, my friend!! Thanks for sharing!!! Love in Christ!! ❤
I honestly can say this is one of my favorite videos you have done. Thank you for being so open and honest about everything! I love how genuine you are. You look terrific too!
you are one of my favorites! I love your channel! I love the simplicity and how calming it is. I feel like we are a lot alike!
Amy, you are such a special person! I watch a lot of decorating channels, and you really stand out! You have such a calm demeanor and your smile lights up your whole face. Keep doing what you enjoy and want to share with us…..we will be here for it! God bless you and your family! 🙏💕🙏
Keeping it 100 - one of the reasons I continue to watch this channel.
Your gentle and kind spirit is what I most love about this channel. I’ve only been following for a couple years or so and it’s that kindness that brings me back. I’m glad you don’t want to spend lots of money on decor, most people in real life don’t or can’t do that either. We live in a time where so many people have lost all sense of manners, kindness and consideration of others. Speaking without thinking whether truth or not, for many has become a new normal. I think from reading some of the comments that the majority of your subscribers appreciate you for who you are and if that’s not the case, the good news for them is that they will have no trouble finding what they’re looking for elsewhere. Your beauty comes from who you are, a quiet and gentle spirit. You’re a blessing, an encouragement and an inspiration to many! May the Lord bless you this Holy Week. Happy Easter to you and your family.
Keep being you and show up however feels right in the season you are in. ❤
Thanks for being here❤️
I love your videos about simple living as I’m trying to simplify myself as opposed to going out and buying a big haul. I’m trying to use what I already have and shop my home. I would like to see more content regarding healthy recipes,meal planning and gardening. I understand the need for sponsorships and don’t mind watching them as I’m getting free decorating advice. Your videos are very inspirational and you look amazing!
Hey Amy! I ❤ ur channel. I get so excited when I c u have a new video. Would luv to c some cooking videos!!! I must b in the same funk as u. I used to luv all the extras of buying and watching videos, but for the past year I am down to watching just a few videos and they r all more simplistic home decorating, homesteading, cooking and grocery hauls! U remain my favorite. U rock Amy!❤️
Thank you for your honesty.
I think that you and your home are the shining jewels. I appreciate your love and commitment for your family and all the time and energy you give to us also. I LOVE your home and how you style it. It's not cluttered so it radiates calm and peaceful. Congratulations on your weight loss and healthier living. I hope that you will share your garden planting, etc. once the weather warms up.
Amy I ❤❤❤ that you aren’t just buying things just for the sake of creating content. Your channel is so refreshing and so realistic to me. And yes please share gardening…. I was gifted a container and I’m looking forward to any insight
I think sometimes when TH-camrs have certain content they don’t want to change that content even if they evolved in what they’re interested in. We all go through different seasons, so Amy, I enjoy you whatever you would post. It’s your beautiful energy. I love pressure canning, gardening, the art of bread making, the prefect strawberry lemonade recipe lol
Amy you are a beautiful soul. I’m new to your channel and I appreciate all that you had to say. Do what you love and it all works out
Awww, dear Amy. Thank you for being so honest and genuine. I have noticed other TH-camrs sort of trying too hard to make content and their channel suffers, maybe not with numbers, but the authenticity of their videos (not sponsorships per se, but just that feeling of like its not quality content anymore or its forced). I truly do enjoy your content and often look in for new videos. I appreciate your kind heart in all your videos.
I enjoyed this video. I'm relatively new to your channel, so it was a get to know you time. I appreciate the fact that you're not out shopping every video, spending hundreds of dollars. That's not everybody's lifestyle, mine included. Thank you for all your hard work and can't wait to see what's to come.
I really enjoyed our “chat” you are sooo honest and refreshing! I can tell how much you love your family..❤️I struggle with weight and I’d love to hear your suggestions for snacks and meals…you have no idea what you mean to all of us!!!🌷🌷🌷
I am so glad i found you, Amy!!! I am binge watching your videos trying to catch up. 😊
I am enjoying your content and sweet personality. 💖
Thank you, I’m so glad you’re here!
You are by far my favorite you tuber and Instagramer to follow! You are such an inspiration, and I find myself shopping for decor and thinking “is this something Amy would put in her house?” because I admire your style so much! I totally get the funk, but hope to see you back more frequently soon! Thank you for sharing with us!
Amy, you are one of the sweetest persons on you tube. If you need to take time to refresh there is nothing wrong with it. We all get to a point where we need to clear our minds. It has got to be difficult not only to come up with ideas and edit. By the way you are looking great just pace yourself. I've been there many times myself. Enjoy your family. Things will get better it has been a long winter. I live in the mid west as well. Just remember we are here for you.
Amy you are such a sweetheart! Thank you for opening up with all of us. We are all so proud of you & you are such a great example to follow. Have a blessed Easter 🐰🌸🐰🌸
Thanks!
You are the sweetest thing on TH-cam. So positive and down to earth. You give off such a peaceful vibe. I am thankful for your channel.
Love your sincerity and humility! I’ve been a long time follower but never comment. You inspire me in many way! Congratulations on your weight loss! Happiness looks good on you! 💗💗
Amy, You have a beautiful and quiet spirit. We need more Amy's in this world. Thank you for your authenticity and for sharing your personal story. Congratulations on your journey to better health!
Really appreciate your honesty! Love your content, the simplicity but gorgeous home is what keeps me coming back. Your aesthetic is one of the best on TH-cam!
There is so much value in the activities of what we consider just the routine of everyday life. This is where so many of us find inspiration from others! I would LOVE to see more recipe, mean planning and gardening videos! Love your videos no matter what you share.
Love your videos no matter the content. You are just so enjoyable to watch. Calm, relaxing, beautiful videos, always. You do you......we'll keep watching! ❤
Your genuine beauty and honesty SHINES through. I love the simplicity of your decor and is so refreshing. Your explanation of providing for a loving family and being there for them was absolutely beautiful. You ooze and drip with sweetness. We need more people on you tube like you...I'm hooked and look forward to your content no matter when it comes.Btw..you look amazing!!!
Wow, girl you are very inspiring in such a positive way. I enjoy checking in with you. Many thanks.
I love this! I love your decorating advice! I love how you spread joy by talking with a smile and I definitely think you should "just go for it" and share what you cook! You are such an inspiration!
Amy, thanks for this video and your honesty. You are such a warm and genuine person. I appreciate that so much. Congratulations on your weight loss. It’s not always an easy thing to do. I always enjoy your videos and look forward to your future videos with any content you choose including sponsorships.
Wow, thanks for the time you give to us. Your words and your manner are so encouraging. It is a blessing to listen to a young woman who loves her husband and children and who provides a haven for growth and development for them. You honor your Saviour in an amazing way. Keep up the good work !!
Aw! Thanks!!!
This video was great!! We all have the same feelings and straggles at some point in our lives. Good for you for getting that point where you were ready to do something about your weight! That’s the biggest step. You are looking great!! I really enjoy your videos.
Loves this video! I love to follow all your videos for you, not just for decorating content. So if you cook, garden, whatever, I’m going to be here for it! Appreciate you sharing your heart with us
you are beautiful inside and out and congratulations on your weight loss. You are very inspiring 😊
Just BE YOU!
This Winter has seemed so long and I too have felt that funk.
Why people worry about ad’s is beyond me. I find some really interesting things in ad’s! (am I weird that I like ad’s and commercial’s? 😊)
And we DO have the choice to skip or even to watch. Again, Just Be YOU!
We love you as you are. I find you refreshing and relaxing to watch. and I always find your content informative and interesting! No matter what you post.
And I will send a prayer for you to help you through this transition and changes and pathway.
Thanks for sharing! P.S. Simplistic content is sustainable content. I think a shift in what people enjoy will surprise the algorithm. I appreciate your content and look forward to whatever you feel most inspired to share!
Honey I don't make comments, but I am always here and so love your content. Never think that what you do has no value. You love your Lord, you love your husband, your precious babies, your home, your extended family and us. You are a precious child of God, who is not afraid to state what you feel, your love of all of the things that you value. I so admire that quality in you. I'm always afraid of what people think of me and let this color what I do or say. Know that I for one adore you and love your content and your values. God bless you and yours always.
Beautiful description of the value of being a homemaker - the most important job you will ever have. Such a blessing to have the choice. The best parent is a happy parent - so do what makes you happy - inside or outside the home. Support each other’s choices. ❤️
I’ve unsubscribed from TH-camrs that are unrealistic and it’s new furniture, new decor for every season and some even moving into new homes one after the next just to keep up with content. It’s quite sad and I appreciate someone like you who is realistic and not afraid to just live the life you love for you and your family ❤
Thank you!!!
I just wanted to say that I love watching your videos and how genuine you are! Also congratulations on your weight loss! Hope you and your family have a wonderful Easter!
I just found your channel a few months ago and I love it. Your decorating is so beautiful and really peaceful and lovely. I'm a little burned out on all the cleaning videos, it seems like some channels only do that. I like them sometimes but the decorating and crafts and diys are much more Interesting to me. I really loved your gardens and your front porch refresh. I have been trying to drop some weight too. I am on WW and it really helps me keep track of what I am eating. I have lost 22 since the first of the year, going slow and steady. Anyway...all this to say that I really enjoy your show! Will be watching!
Thank you so much for your transparency . We all go through funks and funky lol!
I’m much older than you,starting over from divorce! I really enjoy all the tips and just the sincere efforts you put in for all of us !
I’m sure 99.999% of your viewers understand and appreciate your honesty and are waiting to see the sweet success you so deserve!
Pass the biscuits we are all friends here❣️🍓🌿🥗👙💜
Loved this Amy! You are so inspiring and always such a joy to watch! I can't wait to see your garden too!
Aw, thank you!!!
I love Watching your Channel because it’s Calm and Real I am glad you are losing weight for you! You look good. I look forward to any new things you decide to do ❤ Keep it up!
Love your honesty...keep being you...❤
I really enjoyed hearing about your life, and found everything you shared so inspiring! Thank you for being yourself and being honest about the weight loss approach, your mindset around how you want to handle your home/channel! ♥♥♥
Amy I just wanted to say that I’m proud of you. Because of you, I started eating better myself. Thank you and God bless you.
Aw, thanks so much!
Girl, I'm with you. After my 3rd kid(he's 12 now) I didn't lose all of the weight. Then 2020 happened, and I ate like crap(I'm still in bad habits), and I gained 30 pounds!!! Throw In there my husband losing his job, a subsequent lawsuit, pulling my kids out of public school for a year, and then moving from NY to TN. I have been on the stress bus with unhealthy eating habits for 3 years. I desperately need to get out of this funk I'm still in.
Amy, many of us really prefer the simpler life inspiration. It is so inspiring to see that not everyone thinks that we should spend, spend spend and consume more! Also, I can relate to your weight gain story, and I'm amazed by your discipline, because it is NOT easy to change lifestyle!
I love your videos. I love your home and how you decorate. Love your cute cottage garden. I just love everything about your channel ❤
Love your thoughts, we have been or are there along with you. I appreciate your devotion to family. That is where the joy and peace can come the most.
You look great!!
I apologize for being lengthy but I feel I'm supposed to share with you what I feel in my spirit...
I'm a 64 yr.young pastor also from Ohio....I have watched your videos for a year or so and your gentle, beautiful spirit was so refreshing.I listened carefully to every word you spoke in this video... I have watched you grow so much spiritually and whether you know it or not God has given you an amazing You Tube family... He has used this to position you for the next part of your video journey ..He has changed your perception of what you need to share and what is important for the season we are all in ...My sweet friend you have been chosen to be a part of bringing women to a place of strength and dignity and self worth in a world that makes women feel like if they stay home their just a housewife...He will use you to bring an understanding of the importance of caring for our homes and families....God has given you many gifts and now it's time to step into your rightful place God created for you.
Fear not, He will go before you.
Listen for the whispers of the Holy Spirit,continually pray for His direction and stay in His word.Its an exciting time for you sweetie... enjoy it..❤ I hope this blessed you..that was the intention.
Love and Prayers
Thank you so much ❤️
You're so lovely and serene, I love your content. I'm so tired of the Target, Walmart hauls and now even worse the Temu hauls. Who needs all that plastic from China. The Target hauls kill me, they go and buy all the same stuff they already have, why? I would rather have one old wooden table from a garage sale than all the mdf stuff from Target and Walmart!!
Oooooh… me TOOOOOOOO 😫
I love your channel because you’re always so genuine and authentic. It’s truly like hanging out with a friend. Keep doing you girl, you’re amazing!
As I'm binge-watching your channel, it's so refreshing to hear that I'm not crazy for experiencing TH-cam burn-out. I gained the biggest chunk of followers because I posted an empty house tour. I only posted it because I was excited to share it. But I'm a musician, I sing, I love to talk about Jesus and encourage women in so many different ways. I don't want to be tied down to a niche. Thanks for sharing your experiences with that.
