Hey girlie! Will you pray for me? My hubby & I have been ttc for 8 years only to find out that my fallopian tubes are damaged & my doctors say the only way to conceive is via IVF, but to do that he wants to remove my fallopian tubes altogether. I'm scared to do the surgery bc I know the docs says I have zero percent chance of ever conceiving naturally but I still hold onto hope and prayer that Jesus will heal me. If I get them removed then I really do have zero percent chance. I turned 35 last month, my time is running out. I haven't had a positive pregnancy test in 18 years (I got pregnant at 15, 3 months after my 16th bday I had her via emergency cesarean at 22 weeks gestation.,she lived for 27 beautiful hours) I need prayers for guidance on whether I should do the surgery or continue on, but I'm so scared that I'll never get the chance to make my husband a father. He deserves to be a daddy & his parents deserve to be grandparents. I know we dont know each other but I feel The Lords love through you. My name is Chelsea, I'm your neighbor thru states lol, up here in KY.

I think you will figure it out. Your choices of what you have been doing to your home have been great choices….don’t let it stress you out! It will come out right with patience! Hugs!

@susanluna1001 2 жыл бұрын

Merina, get out your contract for you couch warranty. It should say in it exactly what it covers and what they will do in the case of the couch falling apart. A $1,400 couch should not fall apart in 4 months. That is no small amount of money. I am not an attorney but whatever it said in your contract on the day you bought it should stand. A gift card is not acceptable. Call Big Lots and speak to a manager regarding this and tell them you want your money back, even if it needs to be prorated. (You all ready did this) but tell them you have a UTUBE channel and you intend to let them know how what type of customer service you received. As someone said call Big Lots head quarters and talk to them about your situation. I hate to see you get taken this way.

I started following Clean Mama on IG and her tips doing one major thing a day. It works for me even if I slack off. I respect how you've previously said that school work and Shane time come first. Your kids will remember that Mom took the time for them versus kept a perfectly spotless home. Also, my grown daughter has ADHD and it helps her to make lists. Otherwise, she ends up with half finished projects and chores all over the house.

I was thinking when I heard those curtains cost you $200, good Lord, I hope she sends those back!! I would carry the Buffalo plaid into the living room because then the who wall will be cohesive. In my opinion, it would look better if the curtain rods were all the same height, though.

I admire your transparency. Not many of us would go through our homes and show “the good, the bad, and the ugly!” Some ideas that have helped me are: for every new thing that comes in something old has to go out, (clothes, decor, etc.), also making sure things are accessible (I put food, Q-tips, hair clips even office supplies in mason jars. No more fumbling with boxes/bags that appear full but aren’t. Empty boxes...yes, even cereal boxes, can be used to organize in drawers/cabinets, plus they’re free-ninety nine! Waiting to purchase something for 24 hrs has also helped me. It’s amazing what you won’t buy after you have thought about it. Asking the children to be responsible for their stuff helps also. Even the youngest kid can help sort laundry, pick up toys (again, one comes in, another goes out) and be a contributing member or team family! Is it perfect? Heck no, but they’re learning and it gives them ownership/accountability. I also read of a group of friends that met and brought decor, clothes, jewelry, whatever the theme and had a swap party. Everyone got something “new” to take home to freshen up their homes, closets, etc. Sorry for your couch. We almost bought one last year from Big Lots, but it was on back order...Covid-19! After reading the reviews, NOT ONE GOOD REVIEW, we cancelled our order! Don’t beat yourself up over what a good housewife is. That’s why we’re continually growing and changing. Getting ideas from others is great! How do you think I found you??? Hang in there mom! 🙌🏻👍🏻🥰😉🥇🙏🏼

Oh phew thank goodness you returned the curtains! You don’t owe Amazon anything to keep that product. They have a section specifically to handle returns so you could look at it like returns help keep people employed! $200 is a lot to swallow if you don’t like an item. I agree with the others who have said they think more plaid would be fine. I really like symmetry and things to be matching so that would be my choice. But like you say it’s your house & home and you have to be happy.

Merina hit up your local dollar tree for drawer organizing bins. 👍🏼. They have all different shapes & sizes. They have ones that would fit perfect for all your nail polish & other things in your drawers. It’s sounds weird typing about your drawers…🤣. But you get me. 😉 Maybe figure out what all you want to organize in the drawer first then you’ll have a plan & idea before you go to the store. Also get a paper towel holder (the one that stands up) at dollar tree & you can put all of the girls hair scrunches on it. I used them for my daughters nail polish back & the zillion scrunches she had back in the day. Thanks for another great video friend you did a great job!! Glad your feel better. ♥️. “Big ole pair of pants”. Oh Shane…you are hoot!

I’m in my own personal journey finding value of the things in my life and teaching my kids what really matters in life. I wish I had the strength and courage to do you tube. I would love to tell my story and try to inspire people and girl my house is a mess and has content but at 34 I’m just not technical in editing lol. I keep praying to God if he wants me to start my own channel to send me guidance to do it. But I truly feel God sent you to me. Many days I felt alone you made me feel like I was setting with a friend and not so alone I love you all and God Bless You and your Family ❤️

I would continue your hallway wall into the front room, I love how your hall turned out. Grey and white curtains would go good with the buffalo check, but I also think that if you put buffalo check on the other 2 windows it wouldn't be to much buffalo check. Keep up the good work on your mansion 💋❤️💋❤️

It looks really good!!! I hold on to so many things for sentimental value, but I have been decluttering as well. I agree with you on the curtains, they just did not look right. Personally, I would do the buffalo plaid all through out. We have an 18×80 mobile home that is set up the same as yours with the combined living, dining and kitchen. I did a beautiful teal green solid curtains through out the whole area and a buffalo plaid on the small window in front of my sink, all from Amazon. I think all together for 10 panels and the short kitchen curtains, it was around $90.

I refuse to use feather pillows because of the cruel and inhumane way they obtain them. They strip the birds and ducks, while they're alive, of all their feathers and it causes the birds and ducks great pain and stress. It's extremely cruel. So, I will never buy anything goose, down or feathered.

If you don’t have drawer dividers use zip lock bags for the polish, skin care, deodorant etc. just thrown in a drawer it will be a mess again. Teach kids to put things back after using. Teaching them young will make them organized and responsible when they’re older.

Try drop cloth for the curtains use with clip curtain rings so no sew. Look at harbor freight, they are inexpensive and they actually look really good. And if you get tired of them you could use them for their intended purpose.

Ok so I don't like the curtains at all and to me they weren't worth $10 a panel much less $50. I do agree they needed something behind them. I am a private person and don't like the idea someone can just glance up and look in my house. Not to mention blocking light and heat out of the house.
