I have stage 4 breast cancer and I’m a teacher on top of it. When you said if you’re going through difficult times, something better will come. Well, my students have been amazing lately and my last pet scan was good. I’m still kind of depressed, but I’m hopeful. Your cheery house makes me happy.
I'm so glad you shared the cardinal story because I thought it was just a southern thing. We always had a huge male cardinal sit outside our window day in and day out. We started saying it was my husband grandfather who passed in 2010. About a week after my granny died, there was a female cardinal with him all of a sudden. When I tell you they watched us - it was wild! If we were outside, they were on the roof. If we were inside, they were sitting outside the window. 🥰
I’ve grown up & lived in Alabama my whole life - and yes the Cardinal thing is part of our folklore. So cool that it’s in Canada too. My parents passed away in 2013 & 2014. We have a male & female that visit us often - especially when my girls are home. Both of my parents loved cardinals! Coincidence? I don’t think so. Thank you for sharing your cardinal experience with us. I’m super excited to see your house coming together! ❤😊
My beloved uncle sadly passed this summer and on the day he died I saw the biggest cardinal I've ever seen on the ground from the second story hospital window. He had the spikiest feathers on his head which is so fitting because my uncle always had crazy spiky hair. I feel like it was his way of telling me he was still with us💗 On the same day my cousin, who wasn't aware of the situation yet, experienced a pigeon falling on her head as she walked into work. The receptionist saw it happen and was like "did I just see what I thought is saw??". My uncle was a huge jokester, especially with her. We all believe it was a sign from him.
not many vloggers can i sit with a cuppa and watch the whole video through, but Angie is so warm and welcoming and now I need to move to Canada and have proper snowy christmassy winters ha ha
I’m seriously so excited for you, Andre, and Carl!!🥹 thank you for bringing us along. I never knew I would love a complete stranger and her family so much🫶🏻🤍
so jealous!! this is like my dream home!! so unbelievably proud of you two!!! thank you for all that you do and for making our days so much better with the videos!!!!! 🫶🏻🫶🏻
Fireplace: you need the large log, then two smaller pieces, then like dried twigs (kindling). Put the big log in the back, two smaller logs in front, stuff the kindling under the logs that’s are sitting in the log stand. (Also don’t shovel out all the ash when you clean it that make the fire harder to light. then used like a piece of notebook paper right in front of the kindling (twist the paper so it kinda looks like a rope… you can also use paper bag from the grocery store) anyway you’ll gave a great fire! I grew up on a farm we had an open brick fireplace in the living room. Winter fires make me think of my grannies farm 😊 good luck with your fireplace! We love your videos 🎉🎉🎉
Yeh @AngieBellemare Scrunch paper first then place fire starters throughout put kindling and twigs then bigger pieces till burns enough for the solid pieces
I absolutely am enjoying your videos! Your joy is infectious. I was thinking about your area by the fireplace. You should do two large leather sofas that face each other that are low profile like a chesterfield that won’t obstruct the view. And then do a large chunky wood coffee table in the middle to do puzzles or Lego or board games. Then have two large wing back chairs with a plaid upholstery on either side of the fireplace. I can’t wait to see how you furnish the house!! We moved to the country in December 2020 and have learned a lot!! lol. We have definitely accumulated a lot of things we never expected to have like a log splitter, chain saw, tractor, etc. can’t wait to see or hear about all the wildlife you start seeing. We have deer in our backyard almost every evening and woke up to a bunch of turkey just walking around our front yard. Love your new adventures ❤
I grew up in Montana and have had a fireplace for most of my life! Best tip is to keep all the paper from random newspapers and that paper that comes in Amazon boxes, and tie paper into a knot. Put that at the bottom and make a teepee with little twigs, you should be able to find plenty to dry out under all your trees. Dried out pine cones also make a good starter. Then teepee the larger logs over that, leaving lots of room for air to flow. Light the paper, and because it is in a knot, it should burn long enough to ignite the little twigs, which will burn long enough to ignite the logs. Good luck! 😊
I love cardinal I dedicated my first Christmas with my husband a cardinal Christmas tree to my beloved mother Angie I’m very happy for you and your husband you house is beautiful God bless you always ❤
I live in New Hampshire (born and raised) and the cardinal thing is something I grew up believing as well! My mom passed 7 years ago and every time i see one i make a point to say hi to my mom! I had one follow me outside my work one day too!
I thought the cardinal story was a southern thing. Good to know that others see a cardinal and think the same. I just love watching how excited y’all are for this new adventure.
Angie you are such a joy to watch. Love your beautiful empty house. I can see the happiness in your eyes when you show us around. Great DIY project with the metal planters and the cardinal. Your very crafty. 😊 You get me in a great mood when I watch you. Can't wait to see Carl running around your new home. Can we see more of Andre in your videos. You both are so darling together. I hope you enjoyed your breakfast and time with your Fam. I'm saying a protected blessing for your home to always keep you safe. 🏚🪵❄️
Angie I really love the new house🎉...cannot wait for the next videos Iam waiting and keeping my eye out for them. Also cannot wait for all the morning and night routines to come...sending all my love all the way from South-Africa.
I have to share we have a cardinal that’s hands at our house and this is the crazy part everytime a close family member passes it knocks on my daughters window for days before and after then stops! I believe 100 percent in cardinals we decorate with them too!
So happy for you Angie🎉 it's exciting to watch the home come alive with your style and creativity. You have to show us the planting seeds so we can watch them evolve🌲🐿️
Even without the furniture, it's all coming together ❤ Just a suggestion ( what do I know) we have a loft looking down on a bigger living room and we started out with the TV up in the loft. As much as you use your TV? I would put it on the main floor above the fireplace. We felt like we had this huge ginormous room that we never used as we always unwind wherever the TV was. Plus, we use the loft for projects, so if we're working on something, we keep the mess up there and it's out of the main big living space. The loft is also where I go to read, it feels like a cozy little escape, compared to the big living room. Plus my husband has his gun corner where he cleans his guns, ... sorry to ramble. Loving this new exciting adventure ❤
So HAPPY for you both!!! A quick, easy way to start the fire beside using Kinley is to collect pinecones Not sure if your area of woods have pinecones, but they’re great to use to start your fire in the firer place 😊 Plus clear them from your property You don’t want fires on your property
Your excitement is infectious! 😊 My year has been rough battling cancer & I haven’t really been feeling Christmas at all. But after watching your videos I’m starting to get in the spirit! 😄 Thanks for that! Your new home is gorgeous, I can’t wait for the full tour. I’m British living in the US & the Cardinal belief is common there too, in fact I believe my Dad comes back as one. ❤
It’s so cool to see how little by little everything comes together. The house will look so beautiful. It’s beautiful on its self, but I can’t wait until you show us when is all done.
Easy fire hack: dryer lint + Vaseline or Aquafor (petroleum jelly) in a cardboard tube or cardboard egg carton section. The dryer lint lights fast. The petroleum jelly burns slow. The cardboard tube contains it all, and you have time to build the fire by adding sticks and then logs. Easiest fire everrr! ❤ a Girl Scout dropout
Angie we have a log house and also decided to not put a TV in our living room, and it was the best decision!! Granted we have 5 TV’s in our house and 2 more in a screened porch and hot tub gazebo, but at least the living room is screen-free and I love it that way!
This makes me so happy to see your dreams coming true. Side note: fire takes practice. This summer it was my mission to cook outside and it really takes practice. Just practice your fire daily or hopefully twice a day and it is an art lol
For Fireplace we only use Duraflame logs. They burn about 4hrs easy to light and no mess easy cleanup. The only thing we use! Warm Wishes your home is Beautiful. Congrats!
Yes to the Cardinals as part of folklore ! I always watched for them when I was a kid ! They’ve been my favorite! Such a beautiful bird with an equally beautiful song ! It’s a good omen for sure just like the dragonflies are known to be people that have passed coming back to visit ! ♥️🎄♥️
I love your Cardinal story Ang! My Mom told me the same thing when my Grandpa passed. So everytime I see one I truly believe our loved ones are watching over us.❤️🎄
Angie, I really like the way you speak well about the old home owners home. I fnd that people are so disrespectful when they buy a home and talk down about the old home owners taste. .. i also love how you always say WE.. not you.
I'm from Michigan in the US. My Dad loved cardinals. He has been gone 9 years now. Our whole family believes Dads sends them to check on us. We hang cardinal wind chimes in a tree at his grave sight.
I've Always Bern In Love with Cardinals. Brings me Instant Joy when I see one and even cardinal decor too. 🥰💕💕💕💕💞❤👌 last year I saw the First young cardinal. Ohhh so Adorable!! 🥰💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💞❤💫
Angie, you are beautiful and have beautiful ideas for this beautiful new house.....and thru' your merch and videos and chats, you are adding such beauty to other's lives....thank you Angie, Andre' too!! You are AWESOME Dear Angie!!!
Oh angie my dad passed last december and for christmas that year my oldest son got me a cardinal(not even knowing about the cardinal meaning). He and i were like wow! I purchased a glitter globe with cardinals this year also. I totally believe in the cardnal being a loved one. I saw them out by our pool this summer even. Love the new house its a christmas house for sure:)
Omg this is my dream house !! Angie your home is beautiful! I LOVE cottage style houses ! The smell. And the forest with nature all around. I am so jealous 💕 you deserve it girl. And Ottawa. I can’t believe how close you are. It’s inspiring to see and it makes me want more for my family 🚗🌲🤎🦌 love your vlogs ❄️
I can sooooooo relate to the "Cardinal". My GranDa was French Canadian. We have always said the exact same sentiment. Love love your new home. I wish both of you continued happiness and success.
Your fireplace get small (kindling) wood can pick out of your yard and put that under larger logs. Use paper twist it and shove under kindle sticks then let that get going a little and then you can put big logs on. I just moved to the country about a year ago now and I had to learn the hard way lol
I think your loft tv would be best centered on the wall between the two doors with a large rug centered in the room. Large sofa with 2 chairs. I would focus all the seating in the center of the room instead of creating 2 separate zones. You can do a set of built ins on both of the sloping walls, one side for storage and one side for bar essentials.
From what I know, the story of a loved one coming back as a cardinal is pretty common. I've heard this a lot growing up, and my mom swears my Omi (grandmom) is visiting her every time she sees one. My grandfather, my Omi's husband, was buried in Arlington Cemetery because he was a medic in WWII, and during my Omi's service, a cardinal was perched on my grandfathers' headstone. It was my first time I ever truly experienced & believed in an afterlife. It was just too coincidental to not be real. That had to be my Omi.
I just love seeing the joy that you two have for your new home. ❤❤ It makes me happy too. Love getting to be a part of the process. I was actually thinking of the story you told about meditating and the house in the last video when you were outside and showing the back of the house. I was like--THAT IS THE EXACT THIING SHE ENVISIONED!! Love ❤
I relate to the cardinal story. My mom always told me she would send me feathers when she passed and when she passed my son brought me a feather that he found on my car without even knowing this. I also found them all over the place when she first passed away including inside our house in a hallway not near an outside door. It was a great feeling to know she was with me.
Omg.....every time I find something deep inside hiding in the back....I always say "OMG what are you doing back here... I almost didn't see you. Come on let's go home. Lucky me" 😊
Hey Angie! Longgg time watcher first time commenter lol.. Just want to say thanks especially for today's video because it's my Mom's birthday and she loves you as much as I do and she said it was posted "For her Birthday" lol.. But honestly everyday you are a special part of our family, Carl and Andre too!!! Thanks again girl! God Bless you all! Love Sarah and Donna
Angie , you given me an idea , the wall behind my desk , I want to hang Tv on it , The TV, I really want is those "TV frame" with "LG" , it's expensive , but I'll save my money ( I am a huge saver ) . Remodel this room , paint the ceiling and walls , buy a new desk , chair , and figure out where I want my " Picture Frame TV" on the wall , I also need to hide all the wires too , which they would be put into the wall . It seems like a lot of "youtubers" are buying new home or existing homes and starting new in the rooms, etcc.
Yes do a blackstone. my husband loved ours we had it for 3 years before moving. they are great if you take care of them. some advice keep it seasoned and buy a hard cover for it not just the regular covers so they don't stick to the oil.
Tips for the fireplace - keep the doors ajar to let the oxygen through when its starting up and use some fire starter blocks and thinner kindling initially! Good luck, theres nothing better than a house heated from a fireplace!!!
I love all the ideas! Just a tip that I read when upgrading a TV, bigger is always better and the loft looks like a really big space - so... Distance From TV Min Screen Size Ideal Screen Size 4 - 5 Feet 30 inches 42 inches 6 - 7 Feet 45 inches 55 inches 8 - 9 Feet 60 inches 75 inches 10 - 12 Feet 75 inches 85 inches
I bought my mom a beautiful lantern globe and there is a rocking chair next to a Christmas tree and a Cardinal next to it and I said it’s in honor of my Grams who loved Christmas and passed that love to my mom and I. You probably didn’t expect so many of us to relate to the Christmas Cardinal.😊 MERRY CHRISTMAS 🎄

In England, we say the same thing when we see a Robin (bird) a loved one is with you 😊❤️
I love that you shared about the cardinal❤ we all have our beliefs and things, it makes us human. love it!
You have given me hope we are almost homeless , and now i think your right . The best is yet to come ❤ thanks angie 😊 💕

Why would removing ash make harder to start the fire?
You cracked me up when working on the fire! You sound just like me… me trying to be to figure out the fire and then say “I’ll learn”! Love you
I absolutely am enjoying your videos! Your joy is infectious. I was thinking about your area by the fireplace.

I have to share we have a cardinal that’s hands at our house and this is the crazy part everytime a close family member passes it knocks on my daughters window for days before and after then stops! I believe 100 percent in cardinals we decorate with them too!
You make my day every time you post! I run a small business and you keep me productive. I just have your videos on in the background haha. Thank you!!
AW ! Im so happy to hear that ! ❤️
Love seeing the wintery views. Don’t have that down here in FL.
So happy for you Angie🎉 it's exciting to watch the home come alive with your style and creativity. You have to show us the planting seeds so we can watch them evolve🌲🐿️
Even without the furniture, it's all coming together ❤ Just a suggestion ( what do I know) we have a loft looking down on a bigger living room and we started out with the TV up in the loft.

It’s crazy I moved to the mountains a little over a year ago from the city and I don’t feel so alone now that you moved lol love watching the journey
Angie asking for a saw ... oh boy Agnus will join us soon 🥰😂😂
so excited! for uu Angie Andre an carl keep being yu both so creative an beutiful an stay safe!
You're so funny to watch. I'm all country girl do it's fun to see the excitement.
You are the only that is getting me through this rough week and it’s only Tuesday
Cardinals are totally your family members coming to visit! Love that you brought this up!
If you plant those seeds today then in 10 years you will have a gorgeous tree. We did it and watched it grow for 10 years. Will never cut it down 🌲❤️
You are just so amazing! I love watching your videos and seeing all your creativity.
So HAPPY for you both!!!
A quick, easy way to start the fire beside using Kinley
is to collect pinecones
Not sure if your area of woods have pinecones, but they’re great to use to start your fire in the firer place 😊
Plus clear them from your property
You don’t want fires on your property
I am LOVING this new era of Angie!!! ♥️♥️
SAME AH ! Thank youuuuu ! ❤️
Your excitement is infectious! 😊 My year has been rough battling cancer & I haven’t really been feeling Christmas at all. But after watching your videos I’m starting to get in the spirit! 😄 Thanks for that! Your new home is gorgeous, I can’t wait for the full tour. I’m British living in the US & the Cardinal belief is common there too, in fact I believe my Dad comes back as one. ❤
I can so see your imagine with the iron candle holders. Can't wait to see it all together. 😊
YESSSS so good 😍
It’s so cool to see how little by little everything comes together. The house will look so beautiful. It’s beautiful on its self, but I can’t wait until you show us when is all done.
Wisconsin here and we believe the cardinals are past family-friends. 🥰

If fire is smoking, it needs more air. Should be some way to adjust for that. Make sure inside fireplace/stove damper is all the way open.
I love the idea of you not putting a TV in that room also doesn’t it remind you of that cozy place you and Andre go to for your staycations
For a fire: crinkled up paper or news paper, then small dry wood (kindling), once that’s on fire add a bigger log. Start small then go big logs!
This makes me so happy to see your dreams coming true. Side note: fire takes practice. This summer it was my mission to cook outside and it really takes practice. Just practice your fire daily or hopefully twice a day and it is an art lol

We believe the cardinal sightings are loved ones in America too. I live in New Jersey. 😊
Stone pizza oven for that deck in summer 😍
You NEED some antique snowshoes, the wooden kind with leather straps, they would look perfect near the fireplace. 🌲
Angie, I really like the way you speak well about the old home owners home. I fnd that people are so disrespectful when they buy a home and talk down about the old home owners taste. .. i also love how you always say WE.. not you.

I was struggling today-feeling very overwhelmed with everything. Your videos always put me in a better headspace; thank you for that.
I've Always Bern In Love with Cardinals. Brings me Instant Joy when I see one and even cardinal decor too. 🥰💕💕💕💕💞❤👌 last year I saw the First young cardinal. Ohhh so Adorable!! 🥰💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💞❤💫
Aw that sounds incredible !! They are so special ❤️
Idea for your stairs: Have you thought of plexiglass, so that you still have some natural light shining through and still safe for Carl?
Angie, you are beautiful and have beautiful ideas for this beautiful new house.....and thru' your merch and videos and chats, you are adding such beauty to other's lives....thank you Angie, Andre' too!! You are AWESOME Dear Angie!!!
Oh angie my dad passed last december and for christmas that year my oldest son got me a cardinal(not even knowing about the cardinal meaning). He and i were like wow!

Aw Im so sorry for your loss , sending you lots of love ❤️ Aw yesss , that's so special
Love the holiday decor! Your tree would look amazing by the fireplace🎄
Omg this is my dream house !! Angie your home is beautiful! I LOVE cottage style houses ! The smell. And the forest with nature all around. I am so jealous 💕 you deserve it girl. And Ottawa. I can’t believe how close you are. It’s inspiring to see and it makes me want more for my family 🚗🌲🤎🦌 love your vlogs ❄️
me too , my dream house too & so jealous too of Angie's life !
I can sooooooo relate to the "Cardinal". My GranDa was French Canadian. We have always said the exact same sentiment. Love love your new home. I wish both of you continued happiness and success.
Love all the decorations ❤
Your fireplace get small (kindling) wood can pick out of your yard and put that under larger logs. Use paper twist it and shove under kindle sticks then let that get going a little and then you can put big logs on. I just moved to the country about a year ago now and I had to learn the hard way lol
I think your loft tv would be best centered on the wall between the two doors with a large rug centered in the room. Large sofa with 2 chairs. I would focus all the seating in the center of the room instead of creating 2 separate zones.
You can do a set of built ins on both of the sloping walls, one side for storage and one side for bar essentials.
You have such great ideas.
From what I know, the story of a loved one coming back as a cardinal is pretty common. I've heard this a lot growing up, and my mom swears my Omi (grandmom) is visiting her every time she sees one. My grandfather, my Omi's husband, was buried in Arlington Cemetery because he was a medic in WWII, and during my Omi's service, a cardinal was perched on my grandfathers' headstone. It was my first time I ever truly experienced & believed in an afterlife. It was just too coincidental to not be real. That had to be my Omi.
Yeah it's a thing even in SoCal. I think it's just a thing for some people all over America
I'm so happy and excited to watch your vlogs on your new house decorations🎉
Loved what you said about the Cardinal! It’s the state bird where I’m from and I see them quite often so that was interesting!
The Cardinals make me think of ghost winks from the new Haunted Mansion movie! 😊💖
I love these daily videos!! ❤❤❤
Gorgeous house. Very different vibe house , love it.
I just love seeing the joy that you two have for your new home. ❤❤ It makes me happy too. Love getting to be a part of the process. I was actually thinking of the story you told about meditating and the house in the last video when you were outside and showing the back of the house. I was like--THAT IS THE EXACT THIING SHE ENVISIONED!! Love ❤
Your home and land is literally heaven on earth!! I just love the vibe of the whole place!! Can not wait to see all that you do with it.
I relate to the cardinal story. My mom always told me she would send me feathers when she passed and when she passed my son brought me a feather that he found on my car without even knowing this. I also found them all over the place when she first passed away including inside our house in a hallway not near an outside door. It was a great feeling to know she was with me.
❤ That's Beautiful.
Love that 🥹🙏🏽
Omg.....every time I find something deep inside hiding in the back....I always say "OMG what are you doing back here... I almost didn't see you. Come on let's go home. Lucky me" 😊
❤️
Yes, country Christmas 🎄 thats your vibe.
OH YES ❤️
Hey Angie! Longgg time watcher first time commenter lol..
Just want to say thanks especially for today's video because it's my Mom's birthday and she loves you as much as I do and she said it was posted "For her Birthday" lol.. But honestly everyday you are a special part of our family, Carl and Andre too!!! Thanks again girl! God Bless you all! Love Sarah and Donna
Looks amazing Congratulations!! Love to hear your thinking about gardening. Nothing better than growing your own food!!
Angie , you given me an idea , the wall behind my desk , I want to hang Tv on it ,
The TV, I really want is those "TV frame" with "LG" , it's expensive , but I'll save my
money ( I am a huge saver ) . Remodel this room , paint the ceiling and walls , buy a new
desk , chair , and figure out where I want my " Picture Frame TV" on the wall , I also need to
hide all the wires too , which they would be put into the wall .
It seems like a lot of "youtubers" are buying new home or existing homes and starting new
in the rooms, etcc.
Loved that you shared the cardinal story! I believe the same about those lovely birds!! I'm in Ohio !!! ❤
Yes do a blackstone. my husband loved ours we had it for 3 years before moving. they are great if you take care of them. some advice keep it seasoned and buy a hard cover for it not just the regular covers so they don't stick to the oil.
Collect your laundry dryer lint for amazing fire starter!
Tips for the fireplace - keep the doors ajar to let the oxygen through when its starting up and use some fire starter blocks and thinner kindling initially! Good luck, theres nothing better than a house heated from a fireplace!!!
It is AMAZING! Definitely get educated on septic. Ours failed and it was $35,000 to replace and we had no sewer for 4 weeks while they were fixing it.
I love all the ideas! Just a tip that I read when upgrading a TV, bigger is always better and the loft looks like a really big space - so...
Distance From TV Min Screen Size Ideal Screen Size
4 - 5 Feet 30 inches 42 inches
6 - 7 Feet 45 inches 55 inches
8 - 9 Feet 60 inches 75 inches
10 - 12 Feet 75 inches 85 inches
I bought my mom a beautiful lantern globe and there is a rocking chair next to a Christmas tree and a Cardinal next to it and I said it’s in honor of my Grams who loved Christmas and passed that love to my mom and I. You probably didn’t expect so many of us to relate to the Christmas Cardinal.😊 MERRY CHRISTMAS 🎄
Amazing!!! I’m so so so excited. I love the new house and all your ideas are incredible. I can not wait to see how everything comes together.
I just have to say that your new house is amazing! And it will be that much more AMAZING when you are done decorating!!!😀
