It's sad saying goodbye when loved ones leave. I appreciate you sharing your tender care for your family. Pray u and your kids have much pretty princess joy. Blessings ❤
Hi from Kansas City! You may already know this hack, but you can use a few drops of lemon essential oil to remove the sticky residue from price tags. Works on metal, glass, wood, and even bookcovers. Once removed, I just wipe the area with window cleaner or dish soap to remove any excess oil. I keep a bottle of lemon essential oil in my kitchen just for this purpose. Love your videos and always have a cup of tea while watching ❤
Actually, it destroyed a picture once when I used it so I stopped using it. It ran a little under the glass and ruined. The picture is very upset. I use Google on sometimes but not on certain things never on anything that’s material books or anything like a picture that can leak underneath other than that I just use a scraper but thank you. I appreciate you always.
Man, I'm SO impressed with the way you get onto youtube and learn how to do things yourself - like ordering the part for your car! I'm inspired. My toilet is making a weird sound every time I flush it and I'm going to find out how to fix it....🤞🤞
Hello lovely Brooke, I have been away and I have a lot of catching up on watching your great videos once again. Thank you for always sharing, giving great tips and recipes. Have a wonderful week❤
Thank you for great content! And taking time to do decorating scenarios for us all…. I think you are just a fantastic decorator and awesome cook!…love that platter!.. glad you got to see your daughter/son-in-law even though they were in route home….hope it was good visit!
Oh thanks for trying in. I had other time. I just didn’t choose to videotape it. They don’t like it too much so they respect what I do. They just don’t want to be a part of it because if they’re careers, thanks for thanks for coming along.🥰
I so agree about the toilet😂, if I ever have to replace mine, I’m getting that streamlined one, whatever the cost it’s worth it for easier cleaning especially getting older 🤦🏻♀️ Lol, I don’t feel so bad doing little things like cooking something special for my son when he visits, some ppl say boy aren’t you a nice mother, it kind of shocks me, I thought…that’s your child no matter what age right? (He’s 24 now and appreciates the love) That cabinet is great, can’t wait for the diy! Love the touches in your kitchen Brooke! The end of summer and outside plants makes me sad, I’m like you, don’t mind the cold, hate the snow! I’m in northern Maine. Your outside planters look beautiful for fall. Gorgeous spider plant! Aww I was hoping for tails😂 the other looks cute too. I like the wreath. Goodbyes are always too sad no matter how old our kids get😢Seems all the thrift stores are getting out of control. I’m thankful for my small town one still being real! So glad the cushion cleaned up for you! I do love those drapes for fall!
I’m 100% with you yeah the thrift stores are getting expensive but everything is it’s probably about a 6070% markup since Covid so it’s still cheaper and better quality than what you’re getting in the other stores that’s how I look at it
Morning Brooke! Looking forward to your uocoming projects. I have a lot of cleaning & decorating to do this week. Between work, my health & battling my depression, my home is taking a beating. Lol. But I'll get it done. Have a blessed day. Ciao!
So glad to see your video, you had a busy day for sure. I laughed a bit that you spilled your coffee on your sofa. I did the same thing on my bed and had to wash my sheets and the mattress pad, so glad it didnt go on my mattress. It is sad saying good-bye to your daughter. Hopefully you will go for a visit and see your grandcat😊
Have a break today and needed to watch you.Very good choice of soil mix l use it for my fiddle leaf fig and she's doing great....l wouldn't mind a jade plant now seeing yours.those prices in that last thrift store absolutely crazy town....another good video Brooke! Thanks 😊
Mama Brooke, i know you were so happy to have your kids there with you for a while. How sweet of you to pack them a delicious lunch. I'm think the new colors you picked for your porch will be perfect. Have a wonderful Sunday 💐🦋🐝🏵🍂🧡
Hope your toe's healing. You do so much so well. The wreath looked really nice and the fern and window box. Pretty. That lettuce wrap turned out nice. Your videos always inspire.
Love the medal tray! That's on my thrift wish list. 😉 Lots of people have been complaining abt thrift store pricing, especially the last couple of yrs. It's outrageous! Plus there's more people buying for resale too, but still, there's some things I can buy brand new for less. While going through my craft rm, I found a silver plate creamer I forgot to unpack & it had a .49cent sticker on it! They easily sell for $6-7 now. U just have to be very selective abt everything u buy. Have a great week! 👑💐
Well, everything in the world’s gone up so they say it’s 30% of Canada my girlfriend and I figured it out is more about 50% so the government is just trying to lie to us, but what’s new right? I still find better things with better quality at the thrift store.
Hi Brooke, I love the change you made with the Boston ferns. Your Spider plant is so beautiful and healthy. You work so hard and the results of your labor are amazing. I laughed out loud when you mentioned that you watched TH-cam and would be repairing your car. You are like me, I’m always taking on a challenge and repairing something. As a child I would purchased TV tubes at the local store and repair our TV and years ago I purchased a Whirlpool dryer manual and repaired my dryer. We don’t see a major change in the season here in Orlando, however, traveling up to North Florida you can feel small changes in the early mornings. I have been sick for the last few days, however, I perked up when I saw that there was a new video from you. I look forward to your next video. .
I went thrifting yesterday hoping I would find a decent wreath and sprays for fill in and make my own wreath but nothing worth buying in the 2 thrift stores I went to. It is over an hour drive just to get to these stores and the thrift stores close to me, the Goodwill, it looks like a junk store so chaotic to find something in it. And it is small. I decided to go on line to Mercari and purchased a wreath for as cheap as I could get but it was decent. I did find some things for the holiday other than the wreath like a metal house with a large candle battery run, which was nice. The stores are chaotic where I live. I have so much work to do in the front and back yards and I can't keep up since I got this cold which doesn't go away and I marvel at your energy. So I am sitting back watching your video and always appreciating your endeavors to make the most of the thrifting experience. Love to you Brooke, you are a special person.
Hallo Brooke Nice too se youYou really are a diligent lady.Yes, its really time to closing up the garden .The weather is so crayzi,its chenging the hole time.Have a wonderful sunday.😊❤❤
I get some great ideas for cooking from you , you eat such a variety of good food . My stomach dropped when you were driving to the airport, but as Moms we are happy when our kids are happy , a wonderful thoughtful treat for them for lunch. Dang that CT is massive , I’m jelly . Your home is such a delight for the eyes xo Lisa
I had to laugh on the toilet designs. Obviously, whoever designed these never cleaned a toilet before. Mine is like that and a pain to clean. Good tip on the soil for the jade plant and christmas cactus. My jade plant looks like yours so I'm going to try it. I been having trouble getting motivated, so watching one of your videos does the trick. Have a pretty princess day!
So nice to go along with you today! Sorry, I’ve been watching but not commenting, because we’ve been crazy busy and I’ve been watching you on our tv. My jade is doing the same thing, I’m reporting, too, I lovey that succulent soil. Love your wreath! I wouldn’t spend $60 for a wreath. Your outdoors looks lovely! I’m working on mine.
Having my coffee and I put on TH-cam. Love seeing Grace Kelly in her convertible which is a reminder for me to watch High Society today on DVD. I have a convertible too and can pack that back seat full when the top is down. Unfortunately the weather here in Mass is changing so I have until the end of Oct to fill up my car with thrift and estate sale goodies. Have a great day 😊 PS....Jade and succulents love being outside in the warm weather. I take my jades snd snake plants ( sometimes referred to as mother-in-law tongue plants) outside when the nights are 50 and bring them inside in the fall. Mine grow so big out on my deck. Water only every two weeks. ❤
Love that! And enjoy every minute until you can’t so he’s fun and my daughter has a convertible Mercedes and we have fun in it too. It’s amazing what you can fit in.
Mattapoisett (South Coast) Mine is definitely not a Mercedes convertible like Grace's was most likely. I have a 16 yr old Toyota Camry convertible and it runs like a dream. I take the top down at about 69 degrees, sometimes a bit cooler. Just drive with the heat on too!
Hello Mama Brooke. The wrap looked scrumptious 😋. I find it sad packing summer away. I tried to hold off, and now we are forecast 3 days of heavy rain and thunderstorm. 😮 Loved the video ❤😊 Hugs from Leicester England xx
That wrap looked delicious, and I am sure going to try it for myself! I know your daughter and son-in-law enjoyed the lunch. You packed for them, homemade is always the best.
Good morning. Mama Brooke you are a good Mommy. Aww😢 there going home. At least you got to spend time and made special curry chicken sandwiches 🥪 😋 and key lime pie . I need to get some that special soil. For my succulents. My mother she had so much luck with jade plants and African violets. I have no luck with those 2 plants. I transplanted my rubber tree plant. Wow it's so happy and taking off. 😊 I remember my mom always put her water from her boiled eggs in her plants when cooled off and the dried egg shells. I think 🤔 that may have been her remedy. I found a nice basket chairs like yours at the spca thrift store. I'm going to paint it black. And put a big skelton on it. The skeletons are 50 to 60% off at Michael's. I signed up for a me Membership card. And you can download a coupon. I didn't have it for the first skelton . He was $20.00 without a coupon. My card membership didn't work for the first one. So I will go back with a coupon for the 2nd guy. I'm going to sit them on my new used basket chairs. There so comfortable the chairs pretty solid. ❤ your lettuce wrapped ground beef with Mexican cheddar cheese 🧀 😋. I'm cutting out bread for abit. That looks so delicious Brooke. Bonappitete. Very nice jacket handmade. 😮 glad you got the coffee out of the cushion. I did the same thing but on my bedspread. Freshly made sandwiches for the trip. ❤ i know it's hard when our babies are going away. My son lives near and I hardly ever see him and his wife much they both work always. See you. 🥰👋✌️👌🤟🙏🙌🫶🫂 hugs to you. Chow. 😊
Yeah, I don’t like when she leaves at all. They did tell me it was the best sandwich they ever had in their life, but I did stew down curry chicken just to make it so I’m glad they enjoyed it. Love them both so very much. Thanks for watching.
My Value Village (Houston) today has 3 for a dollar on selected color tags‼️‼️. I’m not going today but it’s nice to know about the deals. Love your videos
Hi Brooke 👑🐝 Don't quit, never stop ..that should be your slogan. You do so much, including fixing your noisy car... unbelievable 🙌💪👏 You are the best. Hope you take a rest to enjoy your hard work. ❤️ ✨️🏡🍂🧡
Hello Brooke, you’re such a busy bee, but I don’t think you would have it any other way. I always hated taking my Mom to the airport (it was hard on our girls). Another wonderful video and that thrift store is not a thrift store with those prices shoowee !!! Hope you have a wonderful week with many many blessing days ahead 💛🧡🤎🍂🐿️
@@mamabrooke that’s exactly what we did driving home was cry. June 2006’ was the last time we picked her up. It’s been 18 years since my Mom passed she was only 57 she would have turned 58 that coming September. I am an only child and I envy the ones with siblings because they have each other. My Mom was my best friend and I miss her, first 10 years was pretty rough on me but I survived, it’s not easy by no means or for anyone for that matter. I was just blessed that she kept her word, she flew home to go home, my grandma (her Mom) and I took care of my Mom until she got called home. I was raised very strict and you also took care of your own no matter how hard it might be. I am so grateful she taught me and try to do things right. Again I hope you have a lovely week and I’m looking forward to your next video. Be careful on your steps please…..🙏🏻
Hello Brooke, here's wishing all the wonderful moments spent with your daughter and son-in-law sustain you until you all meet up together again. The hardest moment in a parent's life is realising their children have become adults and know how to fend for themselves. However, lovingly reared children never tire of their parents and will always make time to travel home. Home is where the heart is and belongs. You have created and fostered a warm and loving refuge which I am absolutely certain your daughter truly appreciates and craves each time she travels to see you. Your bond will only strengthen over time so take comfort knowing you solely are responsible for that. Take care lovely lady and I'll catch you in the next video. Ciao Bella.
Finally, got to see this video! Had some housework I needed to do n your video was my in-between reward. Like you say, "it never ends." I loved the way you redecorated that fall wreath right in the store. I had a good chuckle😅😅😅 That gorgeous desk for only 50 was beautiful. I use to have one but, had to downsize n gave it away to a friend of my family. Guess they gave you the one price for both tables. Smart girl! Love the dresser too. That lettuce wrap looked delicious! Such a good Mom preparing a nice lunch for her daughter n son-in-law. Good for you ordering the part n n fixing your car yourself! I did the same. My windshield wiper switch arm broke off n I ordered the exact part online. N my son looked at a few You Tube videos n installed it for me. They wanted to charge me $300.00.😮 Loved your video.😊❤❤❤
Daughter went home..😢 you will see her again soon ..I have ferns on my side yard..they come up naturally,weird..Brooke,you are like the Energizer Bunny!! I have had bad sinuses for a month,& it's making me sick.I know it's a infection ,my Dr( new) said it wasn't..oh well..life goes on. Brooke,it is still humid& 90.May have storm mid week& so it begins😮 . Thanks for sharing you outings& gardens,appreciate it& it's fun times.!!🧡🤗🍂🍄🎃🍁🌻🌴
I had the same problem my family doctor kept me Amoxicillin and a C Pack it worked for a while and it came back and I go back to him and got the same medicine so I decided to go to a Ear,Nose Throat Dr. he gave me a combination pill with Amoxicillin in it and it cleared the problem up. Maybe you should try Ear, Nose and Throat Dr
Hey Mama. I hope Courtney and Mike have a safe trip home. I know they’re going to have a yummy lunch! You’re the best. I really like the orange on the front porch. It’s very warm and inviting. Shame on those people in Sally Ann’s for some of those prices. Loved the tigers and swans. Boy it sure is going to be different thrifting without your old Value Village. I can’t wait to see what you do with the stash of furniture you put in the garage. Hmm what’s she up to now. lol! See you next time. Loves🦢
Thanks they did my son in-law told me twice that it was best sandwich he ever had. My daughter didn’t say much , but I guess she’s used to it her whole life lol , they’re home safe and sound always good to see them and yes, I truly miss my old value Village. The new one opens this week, but there’s no parking so not so sure about this.🤷🏼♀️😍🥰🩷❤️
I’m glad you got the coffee stain out of your couch. I always say, “I can’t have nice things because I’ll spill stuff on them.” For example, almost every item of clothing I own has a stain of sort. Oh, the shame.🍝🍷😆
Mama Brooke I had a Jade Plant I put it out on the porch for the summer I repotted it in Miracle Grow potting soil it grew so big at the end of summer I bought it back in the house it began to look like your plant I decided to repot it and it had worms in it and they were eating the roots of the plant I put it in the trash can
Yes, born and raised. I guess we speak more like the Brits cause that’s where English comes from and we were ruled by them for years. They’re queen was our queen she’s even on our monies I guess now it’s a king lol
Hi Brooke! Happy first day of Fall... and finally just today the weather is showing it with rain and so much cooler, I for one was over the high 80s !! Yes, the resales shops prices are getting way to high, however yesterday I did get a Ralph Lauren and Tommy Hilfiger sweaters for $3.00 each they look brand new !! You're a wonderful mom making yummmy lunches for their flight home, remember when airlines would serve meals!? I have been saving my geraniums until you show us how to store over winter , also do you save ferns?? Have a nice Sunday friend.. Paula
You know the whole world‘s just so expensive right now everything doesn’t matter what it is so we’re just I guess we’re all just really filling it to be really honest about it. I went to go buy some cheese and I couldn’t believe the prices I mean, but is eight dollars a pound here.🤦🏼♀️🤦🏼♀️🌺🌺
It's that time of year ! Yesterday we went to the cottage & started to get things ready to close up !! Came home & cleaned out my urns! It never ends !! We are getting to old for all this ! So thinking of giving the camp to the kids ! We shall see !
Thats what Im gonna make, curry chicken with coconut rice and pineapple! LOL. I havent been to the meat market in about a year because of the prices, so I went yesterday, and my bill came to 82$ 🤨🤨🤨Really? Your lucky you can get potting soil this time of year, I mean if I went to a floral shop but soil season only lasts about 4 or 5 months here where you can afford to buy it, then the price goes way up. Yes the weather cooled down a bit, very nice out, its cloudy and rainy or almost rainy today, looks like a green house out my window and the birds and squirrels are relentless with the food today, (i put it on my window sill) I love your yard and your apartment so much, its cozy like mine, we like the same stuff, plants antiques, birds, cranes, palms, rabbits, ducks, crystal, silver, gold frames with moody pics, I adore iron, anything iron and with all the green trees and yard out my windows I have my colors in teal, green and cinnamon/camel brown tones where you have the black and white. I love black and white and would adore a checkered board kitchen floor but renting, I am limited to "landlord beige" on most every surface which just sucks! I have been thinking of trying peel and stick wallpaper, but I did paint my kitchen cabinets a dark brick red, had that for about 3 years now and I still love it, cant imagine why, I hate the color red. LOL. Take care of that toe, I did the same thing about 2 months ago, lost the nail, painful.
Thanks for sharing. I don’t know much about the sticky wallpaper, but you know what I think it’s worth a try and why don’t change the red. The red is beautiful. I haven’t seen it but I believe so.
Good morning…. So sad your kids have to leave but it is what it is like you said. But very sweet of you to make lunch for their plane ride….your fall decor outside looks good, I’m just doing Halloween for my kids, with “scary” decor and for some reason we get 300 kids plus, for a few years. I think cause my neighbour and I go all out. Lol….. but it sure gets pricey for candy and chips at Costco. Waiting to see your “geranium” video. Have a great day!,,🧿
No, I did really good for about five years and then I don’t know what happened, but I just transplanted it. We’ll see what happens if it comes back it does if it doesn’t it wasn’t meant to be.
It’s great when our kids come to visit but it’s sad when they leave. Your wreath looks great. I’m not looking forward to time to bring plants in. It’s a lot of work. Your meal looked so good as usual. Have a good rest of the week. Love and blessings 💛🧡💛
Yeah, I don’t like when they leave either for sure and bringing these plants in and out of starting to get heavy on me there is one that I’d love to keep and that’s the birds of paradise elephant did so well this year I feel forced to keep it and the spider plant well it’s just so big it’s getting heavy to carry up and down Lol
@@mamabrooke was thinking how there was a way that you could maybe order one in the States and we could get it sent to you, but w the shipping and fees, might be as much as the one you saw there in the store 😢
No, I don’t think I do. I think it’s depends on where you live. I hardly have any traffic and I think that causes a lot of dirt because my girlfriend lives in a condo and she has a lot of dirt on hers,
It's sad saying goodbye when loved ones leave. I appreciate you sharing your tender care for your family. Pray u and your kids have much pretty princess joy. Blessings ❤
I totally appreciate that thank you. Yes it’s very hard to say goodbye.
Love that you change out your porch for the different seasons, I do that too, makes me smile😇🩷
Aw thank you 😊
Love my Sunday coffee with Mama Brooke! You are always my inspiration to get stuff done with gusto.
Yay! Thank you!
It’s always sad when the kids have to go back home, no matter what age! I absolutely love the platter! BEAUTIFUL.
So true! Thanks 😊

I appreciate that!
I always love seeing Grace Kelly in your videos shes so beautiful ❤️
What are you saying? I’m not ha ha ha ha ha ha ha I’m just joking. Isn’t she beautiful? I think so too.
🤣🤣🤣 Brooke your beautiful inside and out 😘😁😉
It’s a great day when I see a new video from you! Love ya. Leigh
You're the best!
Good Sunday morning from Chicago! ☀️☕️
Look forward to your videos weekly, you’re a joy!

Thank you for always sharing, giving great tips and recipes.
Have a wonderful week❤
Welcome back! Well, I’m glad you’re back. Thank you very much for joining them. Appreciate and hope you enjoy.
Brooke your like the energizer bunny , you keep going and going and going…… Your energy is amazing 🤩
Thank you so much!! trust me when I was younger I was worse lol
Thank you for great content! And taking time to do decorating scenarios for us all…. I think you are just a fantastic decorator and awesome cook!…love that platter!.. glad you got to see your daughter/son-in-law even though they were in route home….hope it was good visit!
Oh thanks for trying in. I had other time. I just didn’t choose to videotape it. They don’t like it too much so they respect what I do. They just don’t want to be a part of it because if they’re careers, thanks for thanks for coming along.🥰
Saying goodbye is always hard…..I’m sending you lots of hugs and love from NC 🇺🇸
🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰
Oh, I totally don’t like it, but it is what it is. I gotta move on so does she she has a life and a career
I so agree about the toilet😂, if I ever have to replace mine, I’m getting that streamlined one, whatever the cost it’s worth it for easier cleaning especially getting older 🤦🏻♀️
Lol, I don’t feel so bad doing little things like cooking something special for my son when he visits, some ppl say boy aren’t you a nice mother, it kind of shocks me, I thought…that’s your child no matter what age right? (He’s 24 now and appreciates the love)
That cabinet is great, can’t wait for the diy!
Love the touches in your kitchen Brooke! The end of summer and outside plants makes me sad, I’m like you, don’t mind the cold, hate the snow! I’m in northern Maine. Your outside planters look beautiful for fall. Gorgeous spider plant! Aww I was hoping for tails😂 the other looks cute too. I like the wreath. Goodbyes are always too sad no matter how old our kids get😢Seems all the thrift stores are getting out of control. I’m thankful for my small town one still being real! So glad the cushion cleaned up for you! I do love those drapes for fall!
I’m 100% with you yeah the thrift stores are getting expensive but everything is it’s probably about a 6070% markup since Covid so it’s still cheaper and better quality than what you’re getting in the other stores that’s how I look at it
That green cardigan is pretty! I hope you will show us how you style it once you get the shoulder pads in. The lettuce wrap looks so good!
Will do!! Thanks
Morning Brooke! Looking forward to your uocoming projects. I have a lot of cleaning & decorating to do this week. Between work, my health & battling my depression, my home is taking a beating. Lol. But I'll get it done. Have a blessed day. Ciao!
That’s great. I appreciate it. Thank you.
So glad to see your video, you had a busy day for sure. I laughed a bit that you spilled your coffee on your sofa. I did the same thing on my bed and had to wash my sheets and the mattress pad, so glad it didnt go on my mattress. It is sad saying good-bye to your daughter. Hopefully you will go for a visit and see your grandcat😊
Well you gotta laugh at some things you do right if I don’t laugh, you’ll cry thanks for trying, and I really appreciate you watching.
That lettuce wrap looked delicious! 😊 Another great video. 😊
Thank you 😋
Have a break today and needed to watch you.Very good choice of soil mix l use it for my fiddle leaf fig and she's doing great....l wouldn't mind a jade plant now seeing yours.those prices in that last thrift store absolutely crazy town....another good video Brooke! Thanks 😊

Hard to believe it is fall already! Everything looks great so far
It goes so very fast 🍂

So nice to go along with you today! Sorry, I’ve been watching but not commenting, because we’ve been crazy busy and I’ve been watching you on our tv.
My jade is doing the same thing, I’m reporting, too, I lovey that succulent soil.
Love your wreath! I wouldn’t spend $60 for a wreath.
Your outdoors looks lovely! I’m working on mine.
Thanks for taking your time to watch 🍂🌺🍃
Having my coffee and I put on TH-cam. Love seeing Grace Kelly in her convertible which is a reminder for me to watch High Society today on DVD. I have a convertible too and can pack that back seat full when the top is down. Unfortunately the weather here in Mass is changing so I have until the end of Oct to fill up my car with thrift and estate sale goodies. Have a great day 😊
PS....Jade and succulents love being outside in the warm weather. I take my jades snd snake plants ( sometimes referred to as mother-in-law tongue plants) outside when the nights are 50 and bring them inside in the fall. Mine grow so big out on my deck. Water only every two weeks. ❤
Love that! And enjoy every minute until you can’t so he’s fun and my daughter has a convertible Mercedes and we have fun in it too. It’s amazing what you can fit in.
Where in MA are you? Im in newton!😊

Mine is definitely not a Mercedes convertible like Grace's was most likely. I have a 16 yr old Toyota Camry convertible and it runs like a dream. I take the top down at about 69 degrees, sometimes a bit cooler. Just drive with the heat on too!

Hello Mama Brooke. The wrap looked scrumptious 😋.
I find it sad packing summer away. I tried to hold off, and now we are forecast 3 days of heavy rain and thunderstorm. 😮
Loved the video ❤😊 Hugs from Leicester England xx
Yes me too ❤️🩷🌺🍂🍂🍂
Sunday Blessings Brooke love the orange on the veranda allways enjoy spending time with you even it's watching your videos ❤❤

What a great tip to keep the sandwiches from getting soggy!
Glad it was helpful!
@@mamabrooke 💖
As always, your video’s are always so fun and inspirational. Love your content. One day I hope to come and thrift with you, we would have a blast. ❤
Please do! You live in Toronto
No, I’m from the Kansas City, Missouri USA. But a trip would be fun. Lol
That wrap looked delicious, and I am sure going to try it for myself!
I know your daughter and son-in-law enjoyed the lunch. You packed for them, homemade is always the best.
Please do! Yes, my son-in-law said is the best sandwich ever ever had
Great video. Love your style!
Thanks so much!
I really enjoy when you share your recipes.
Thank you I really don’t have many recipes. I just cook.
Can i have some of your energy. Outside is nice with the orange. You have given me ideas.
Sure 😊
Good morning. Mama Brooke you are a good Mommy. Aww😢 there going home. At least you got to spend time and made special curry chicken sandwiches 🥪 😋 and key lime pie . I need to get some that special soil. For my succulents. My mother she had so much luck with jade plants and African violets. I have no luck with those 2 plants. I transplanted my rubber tree plant. Wow it's so happy and taking off. 😊 I remember my mom always put her water from her boiled eggs in her plants when cooled off and the dried egg shells. I think 🤔 that may have been her remedy. I found a nice basket chairs like yours at the spca thrift store. I'm going to paint it black. And put a big skelton on it. The skeletons are 50 to 60% off at Michael's. I signed up for a me
Membership card. And you can download a coupon. I didn't have it for the first skelton . He was $20.00 without a coupon. My card membership didn't work for the first one. So I will go back with a coupon for the 2nd guy. I'm going to sit them on my new used basket chairs. There so comfortable the chairs pretty solid. ❤ your lettuce wrapped ground beef with Mexican cheddar cheese 🧀 😋. I'm cutting out bread for abit. That looks so delicious Brooke. Bonappitete. Very nice jacket handmade. 😮 glad you got the coffee out of the cushion. I did the same thing but on my bedspread. Freshly made sandwiches for the trip. ❤ i know it's hard when our babies are going away. My son lives near and I hardly ever see him and his wife much they both work always. See you. 🥰👋✌️👌🤟🙏🙌🫶🫂 hugs to you. Chow. 😊
Yeah, I don’t like when she leaves at all. They did tell me it was the best sandwich they ever had in their life, but I did stew down curry chicken just to make it so I’m glad they enjoyed it. Love them both so very much. Thanks for watching.
My Value Village (Houston) today has 3 for a dollar on selected color tags‼️‼️. I’m not going today but it’s nice to know about the deals. Love your videos
That is awesome!
Love when you insert the driving scenes from movies! Lol
Thanks 🌸🌸🌸
Have a blessed Sunday enjoy ❤
Same to you
Hi Brooke 👑🐝
Don't quit, never stop ..that should be your slogan. You do so much, including fixing your noisy car... unbelievable 🙌💪👏
You are the best.
Hope you take a rest to enjoy your hard work.
❤️ ✨️🏡🍂🧡
Thank you so much!!☺️
You are such a great decorator.
Oh thank you!☺️
Hello Brooke, you’re such a busy bee, but I don’t think you would have it any other way. I always hated taking my Mom to the airport (it was hard on our girls). Another wonderful video and that thrift store is not a thrift store with those prices shoowee !!! Hope you have a wonderful week with many many blessing days ahead 💛🧡🤎🍂🐿️
Thanks for sharing!! I hate the airport too when I say goodbye I cry the whole way home and the other people in the cars are looking at me 😆 🥲
@@mamabrooke that’s exactly what we did driving home was cry. June 2006’ was the last time we picked her up. It’s been 18 years since my Mom passed she was only 57 she would have turned 58 that coming September. I am an only child and I envy the ones with siblings because they have each other. My Mom was my best friend and I miss her, first 10 years was pretty rough on me but I survived, it’s not easy by no means or for anyone for that matter. I was just blessed that she kept her word, she flew home to go home, my grandma (her Mom) and I took care of my Mom until she got called home. I was raised very strict and you also took care of your own no matter how hard it might be. I am so grateful she taught me and try to do things right. Again I hope you have a lovely week and I’m looking forward to your next video. Be careful on your steps please…..🙏🏻
Hello Brooke, here's wishing all the wonderful moments spent with your daughter and son-in-law sustain you until you all meet up together again. The hardest moment in a parent's life is realising their children have become adults and know how to fend for themselves. However, lovingly reared children never tire of their parents and will always make time to travel home. Home is where the heart is and belongs. You have created and fostered a warm and loving refuge which I am absolutely certain your daughter truly appreciates and craves each time she travels to see you. Your bond will only strengthen over time so take comfort knowing you solely are responsible for that. Take care lovely lady and I'll catch you in the next video. Ciao Bella.
Thank you for all your beautiful words. I appreciate them. Have a wonderful day.
Finally, got to see this video! Had some housework I needed to do n your video was my in-between reward. Like you say, "it never ends." I loved the way you redecorated that fall wreath right in the store. I had a good chuckle😅😅😅 That gorgeous desk for only 50 was beautiful. I use to have one but, had to downsize n gave it away to a friend of my family. Guess they gave you the one price for both tables. Smart girl! Love the dresser too. That lettuce wrap looked delicious! Such a good Mom preparing a nice lunch for her daughter n son-in-law. Good for you ordering the part n n fixing your car yourself! I did the same. My windshield wiper switch arm broke off n I ordered the exact part online. N my son looked at a few You Tube videos n installed it for me. They wanted to charge me $300.00.😮 Loved your video.😊❤❤❤
Aw, thanks for sharing and that’s great that you fixed your windshield wiper why would they want to charge you $300? I hope you didn’t pay.
@@mamabrooke No, I just paid 45.00 n free shipping for the part on Amazon. They quoted me that $300.00 ridiculous price n I said no, thank you. 😊
Fall spruce up of the ferns 😍
Thank you I appreciate it🍂🍂🍂
Yay, for the Portuguese egg tarts!
My son-in-law loves them
Daughter went home..😢 you will see her again soon ..I have ferns on my side yard..they come up naturally,weird..Brooke,you are like the Energizer Bunny!! I have had bad sinuses for a month,& it's making me sick.I know it's a infection ,my Dr( new) said it wasn't..oh well..life goes on. Brooke,it is still humid& 90.May have storm mid week& so it begins😮 . Thanks for sharing you outings& gardens,appreciate it& it's fun times.!!🧡🤗🍂🍄🎃🍁🌻🌴
Yes hopefully 🌺 try the nitty pot , wish you well.
I had the same problem my family doctor kept me Amoxicillin and a C Pack it worked for a while and it came back and I go back to him and got the same medicine so I decided to go to a Ear,Nose Throat Dr. he gave me a combination pill with Amoxicillin in it and it cleared the problem up. Maybe you should try Ear, Nose and Throat Dr
GM Mamma Brooke, have a great week❤❤.
Good morning! ❤️❤️🌹
Hey Mama. I hope Courtney and Mike have a safe trip home. I know they’re going to have a yummy lunch! You’re the best. I really like the orange on the front porch. It’s very warm and inviting. Shame on those people in Sally Ann’s for some of those prices. Loved the tigers and swans. Boy it sure is going to be different thrifting without your old Value Village. I can’t wait to see what you do with the stash of furniture you put in the garage. Hmm what’s she up to now. lol! See you next time. Loves🦢
Thanks they did my son in-law told me twice that it was best sandwich he ever had. My daughter didn’t say much , but I guess she’s used to it her whole life lol ,
they’re home safe and sound always good to see them and yes, I truly miss my old value Village. The new one opens this week, but there’s no parking so not so sure about this.🤷🏼♀️😍🥰🩷❤️
Good morning great vlog tfs
Thanks so much
I’m glad you got the coffee stain out of your couch. I always say, “I can’t have nice things because I’ll spill stuff on them.” For example, almost every item of clothing I own has a stain of sort. Oh, the shame.🍝🍷😆
Oxy cleans my best friend 🩷❤️🤣😂
Mustard is impossible to get out of fabric unless anyone has any ideas?
@@mamabrooke Thanks, Brooke. Maybe I'll be able to go out in public again.🤣

Mama Brooke I had a Jade Plant I put it out on the porch for the summer I repotted it in Miracle Grow potting soil it grew so big at the end of summer I bought it back in the house it began to look like your plant I decided to repot it and it had worms in it and they were eating the roots of the plant I put it in the trash can
Thanks for sharing
How funny I caught your Canadian accent today! Grage lololol. Too cute aye?!
Yes, born and raised. I guess we speak more like the Brits cause that’s where English comes from and we were ruled by them for years. They’re queen was our queen she’s even on our monies I guess now it’s a king lol
My geraniums are still in bloom too ❤
I’m gonna maybe did at the end of next week. I’ve just been so busy and I took the weekend off and had a beautiful weekend.
@@mamabrooke Wow you get back to your viewers/comments quick. Thanks I look forward to it 😀
Hi Brooke! Happy first day of Fall... and finally just today the weather is showing it with rain and so much cooler, I for one was over the high 80s !! Yes, the resales shops prices are getting way to high, however yesterday I did get a Ralph Lauren and Tommy Hilfiger sweaters for $3.00 each they look brand new !! You're a wonderful mom making yummmy lunches for their flight home, remember when airlines would serve meals!? I have been saving my geraniums until you show us how to store over winter , also do you save ferns?? Have a nice Sunday friend.. Paula
You know the whole world‘s just so expensive right now everything doesn’t matter what it is so we’re just I guess we’re all just really filling it to be really honest about it. I went to go buy some cheese and I couldn’t believe the prices I mean, but is eight dollars a pound here.🤦🏼♀️🤦🏼♀️🌺🌺
It's that time of year ! Yesterday we went to the cottage & started to get things ready to close up !! Came home & cleaned out my urns! It never ends !! We are getting to old for all this ! So thinking of giving the camp to the kids ! We shall see !
This is what keeps us young and flexible😂🤣 … I’m look for the positive🤦🏼♀️🤷🏼♀️
Thats what Im gonna make, curry chicken with coconut rice and pineapple! LOL. I havent been to the meat market in about a year because of the prices, so I went yesterday, and my bill came to 82$ 🤨🤨🤨Really?
Your lucky you can get potting soil this time of year, I mean if I went to a floral shop but soil season only lasts about 4 or 5 months here where you can afford to buy it, then the price goes way up.
Yes the weather cooled down a bit, very nice out, its cloudy and rainy or almost rainy today, looks like a green house out my window and the birds and squirrels are relentless with the food today, (i put it on my window sill)
I love your yard and your apartment so much, its cozy like mine, we like the same stuff, plants antiques, birds, cranes, palms, rabbits, ducks, crystal, silver, gold frames with moody pics, I adore iron, anything iron and with all the green trees and yard out my windows I have my colors in teal, green and cinnamon/camel brown tones where you have the black and white. I love black and white and would adore a checkered board kitchen floor but renting, I am limited to "landlord beige" on most every surface which just sucks!
I have been thinking of trying peel and stick wallpaper, but I did paint my kitchen cabinets a dark brick red, had that for about 3 years now and I still love it, cant imagine why, I hate the color red. LOL.
Take care of that toe, I did the same thing about 2 months ago, lost the nail, painful.
Thanks for sharing. I don’t know much about the sticky wallpaper, but you know what I think it’s worth a try and why don’t change the red. The red is beautiful. I haven’t seen it but I believe so.
@@mamabrooke Ya, I do like the red❤
Hope you get to see your baby girl soon Mama Brooke ❤
Me too 🩷❤️🥰 thanks
Good morning…. So sad your kids have to leave but it is what it is like you said. But very sweet of you to make lunch for their plane ride….your fall decor outside looks good, I’m just doing Halloween for my kids, with “scary” decor and for some reason we get 300 kids plus, for a few years. I think cause my neighbour and I go all out. Lol….. but it sure gets pricey for candy and chips at Costco.
Waiting to see your “geranium” video. Have a great day!,,🧿
LUV LUV❤
Having BLT for supper, which my husband will make, under the weather, so fine by me, "all your major food groups," mayonaise.😅
Love that!
Boy do I agree the prices are unreal.
Yeah, they’re crazy. I just got home from a weekend getaway. It was amazing had so much fun first time all summer.

Your the best cheerleader 📣
I missed where you found that beautiful autumnal tray that you are putting in your bathroom. May I ask you where you found it please? Thank you.
At the thrift store
Jade plant may need more light. I put mine outside in summer and bring in winter.
No, I did really good for about five years and then I don’t know what happened, but I just transplanted it. We’ll see what happens if it comes back it does if it doesn’t it wasn’t meant to be.
The portuguese buns are called papo seco (pahpu sicu.)
Yes
Hi Brooke is your jade plant a trailing one bc l looked up how to take care and they are all growing upward! Thanks
Thank you very much appreciate it
It’s great when our kids come to visit but it’s sad when they leave. Your wreath looks great. I’m not looking forward to time to bring plants in. It’s a lot of work. Your meal looked so good as usual. Have a good rest of the week. Love and blessings 💛🧡💛
Yeah, I don’t like when they leave either for sure and bringing these plants in and out of starting to get heavy on me there is one that I’d love to keep and that’s the birds of paradise elephant did so well this year I feel forced to keep it and the spider plant well it’s just so big it’s getting heavy to carry up and down Lol
Good morning from Long Island, NY, I just purchased a 5 foot skeleton very well made from 5 below. Do you have that store in canada?
I’m sorry, I don’t know what store
Like the large posable skeleton, too. Saw on line that Walmart has 5' posable one for $30. Do you have access?
Not where I live, maybe where you live
@@mamabrooke Oh no 😞
@@mamabrooke was thinking how there was a way that you could maybe order one in the States and we could get it sent to you, but w the shipping and fees, might be as much as the one you saw there in the store 😢
When did you paint the floors?
I didn’t paint any floor I’m not sure I understand
Jade plants like metal. So you can put some nails in the soil.
Thanks for the tip
They reopened a value village at Bloor and Dover Court. However, there doesn’t appear to be any parking. 🙁
Now there’s no parking I drove around at three times there’s 15 minute parking on some streets, but 15 minutes is not long enough to get in and out
Metro grocery stores make the best cheese bread, same price as you paid
Love it 😍
I can't believe how quickly my condo balcony chairs/table get dusty and dirty so quickly. Do you have the same problem? Enjoy your channel!
No, I don’t think I do. I think it’s depends on where you live. I hardly have any traffic and I think that causes a lot of dirt because my girlfriend lives in a condo and she has a lot of dirt on hers,
Today was all mumbles
Not quite understanding, but if you’re not happy, you don’t have to watch. Thanks.
Ok
🤍💛🧡❤
🥰 thanks
