Hi Cara! Is Quinn starting Kindergarten or PreK? I’m doing the same for my daughter and thought that it was based on age but if she can start Kindergarten before then I have to look into it.

Not interested in watching the Olympics

It's great to see you enjoying the summer. Your videos are always so cute and I love watching them. You do a great job editing and I really like your style.

Can’t wait to see what your homeschool curriculum will be! Would you ever do a planner overview of the school year? I’m going to be homeschooling my son and I love seeing other moms’ planners!

Blueberry picking…….fun memories for the girls! Those cheeseburgers look good!

Go Cubs Go! I can’t wait to take my kids to a cubs game when we visit back home soon. Do you ever bring the girls? I imagine it’s a bit chaotic lol. My parents also moved when I was 5 and I totally have memories when I was in my old house vs. new house. So fun! Omg the Olympic political ads here in Nevada are driving me nuts, there are some very inappropriate things being discussed that I do not want my kids to hear!!! Luckily I can mute it pretty quickly. But we have been loving watching the Olympics! Oh wow, Quinn is starting kindergarten?! Are you advancing her early? That’s so exciting! I don’t know anyone that homeschools so it’ll be fun to see that. Are you doing a co-op?

Hi Cara! Go Cubbies! 😄🐻💙 We love a slow summer as well. It's the best thing about summer! I personally like wearing shoes, but it's not a priority for the kids. And I read Balanced and Barefoot recently and it solidifies the no shoe mantra. The opening ceremony was pretty weird. There were maybe two performances that were fine, but yeah. I didn't even finish it. 😅 What curriculum are you using for Quinn? I can't believe she's in Kindergarten! Wow time flies! My sister-in-law and I were just talking about how us moms get sick just as much our kids, when we barely got sick before kids. This was a fun vlog! Can't wait for the next one! 🥰 Have a great week! 💛

Aww I love the Olympics but it’s so disgusting and sad everything they did in the opening ceremony mocking Christianity with the Last Supper. I know it’s not the USA teams fault

Looks like y’all are having a great summer! The Blueberry pie was so cute! We do not watch the Olympics but haven’t escaped all the talk on social media about the anti-Christian stuff and it’s really disheartening. We took my youngest on his first Disney Cruise at age 5 and he has no recollection of it whatsoever, almost made me cry to hear him say that cause it was expensive! Lol. Loved seeing your family and Ace in this Vlog. ❤

Hey! The blueberry picking was so cute 🫐 What mascara do you use?

We picked blackberries this summer and it was so fun! Elle loved it! It was nice seeing you have some time to yourself. It’s /so refreshing to have some down time alone when you’re a momma. Are you planning to share some sit down videos about homeschooling? I love that you’re taking summer nice and slow this year… that’s exactly how it’s supposed to be.☀️🍉⛱️😎

Yay!! Your sister is in the vlog!!! I missed seeing her. Can you please add more vlogs of her 🥰

Good morning Cara happy Wednesday morning to you and I enjoy your channel and you are amazing supporter

Hey Cara ! I love your channel. I’m expecting my first baby in Feb and just found out it’s a boy 🩵 we are so excited and I just get inspired by your channel. Do you have the homemade ramen recipe?

Hey Cara! I love that you have been prioritizing a slower summer without tons of plans. That's so nice and important! It's so cool that you went blueberry picking. Berry picking is definitely something we want to do, but we have just been so busy this summer. Where you live, do you not do 4K (preschool). Where we are, we do that first, and then kindergarten is for once you are five. 3K and 4K are not required where we live, though. So technically, we could have waited until next September for Leo to start school. We have a similar local restaurant that serves soup, salads, and sandwiches. We are actually going next week to celebrate my mom's birthdays! I'm so glad to hear that you guys are enjoying your summer and time together as a family! Also, btw, I also did not grow up watching the Olympics. My grandparents did, so I've seen some stuff, but nothing much. I hope all is good and well. All the best, Clarissa 😊❤️🥰

Good morning, Cara!

So happy to see a notification of a new vlog ❤ I can’t remember if I posted before but so much gratitude for your vlogs because I have been following since summer 2020 when my daughter was born. It’s crazy to look back on having a child during the pandemic. It was such a lonely time and I had no family nearby. My daughter loved watching with me and growing along with Quinn ❤ sending you and your family so much love and gratitude. It’s nice to see a family that raises their kids like we do. Life is so precious and they grow so fast 😢 All the best and no pressure to post. Always a lovely surprise when you do 🤗

Hi Cara, you are obviously a very spiritual and curious person, just wondering if you have explored other religions other than Christianity ?

Hi Cara so good to see you back. I watch my 4 year old granddaughter alot. I set up stations for play time and we can’t move onto the next thing until it’s cleaned up. We have painting, play dough, building magnets tiles, swimming outside, reading and puzzles. That way at the end of the day when she goes home everything is cleaned up. I don’t know if that would be helpful but it works pretty well. Have a blessed summer with your family.

Loved seeing Ace! We went to Universal Studios this summer & 3 different VBS events to stay busy, now gearing up to go back to school August 9th, crazy summer is almost over, but the heat will stay until late October down here 😓 Serena (Louisiana)

Great place to stay I’ve been there literally 8 times with my friends and family. The sites there are super beautiful

7:59 what song is that? It’s reminding me of something but I can’t quite figure out where I know it from 🙈 love your taste in music btw❤️

Hey you. I was just hoping all was well with all of you. When getting kids to pick up after themselves... its always good to break it up. Depending on the mess.. like tell them to pick up all the clothes. Then. Pick up all the stuffed animals. And then books. But because you work with them all the time.. if i were you... id tell them to pick certain colors of items . Like go pick up the red ones. The blue ones. You're doing a great job

“Thou shalt have no other Gods before thee!” PLEASE pay extreme attention to that verse … ESPECIALLY as it applies to public figures! God is testing us!

Missed seeing your vlogs! Was so happy to see this one😊

Just for the Summer was 5 stars for me too 😍 loved it !!

Your hair looks nice at any length! “Are you taking a picture of my pajamas or your coffee.” 😂 I like your Ana Luisa necklaces. I might have to take a look at their collection of jewelry.

Loved your video would love to know where you got your large flash cards from

Hey Cara, do you have the homemade ramen recipe ? Would love to make it for dinner this week 😃

Great to see you two again. Your hair is your choice but you have such nice hair my choice would be long. Also not less of you but more of you and Eric. C'mon break him out of the shell. Hope your parents are well too. Did everything work out with your dad's motorcycle accident? Is he all better now?

I always look forward to your new vlogs!!! Where is your grey tank top from?

Maybe a clean up video on KZfaq? It gives them 5 minutes to clean up as much as they can. And teach them to do it in sections. Toys, crafts, trash etc.

Hey Cara! I have a two and a three year old and I totally agree about the dilemma of having toddlers “clean up.” It’s so much more work on my part to have to oversee them doing it rather than just doing it myself but I know it’s good for them and I keep hearing that one day it will pay off! Same with cooking and cleaning! There is an incredible parenting podcast called Intentional Parents by John Mark Comer’s mom, dad, sister and brother in law. So much wisdom and scripture shared. It’s one of the only podcasts that I make time to listen to every episode because it’s just that good.

I’ve heard so many talk about The Ruthless elimination book recently… I’m taking it as a sign esp since I’ve been so focused on slowing down and simplifying. Thank you!

Hi Cara! When you only post when you have a sponsored video it makes it a smidge less authentic! Which I am sure you are busy!

You put me onto Angie Smith and I love her books. I read “woven” and am now working on seamless. I also purchased her kids books and I’m reading her book “I will carry you”. Next will be matchless. She does have an interesting sense on humor but it works for me. Thank you for the information that is helping me learn more and strengthen my relationship with God ❤

Hi Cara! Good to hear from you. It's been a nice HOT summer. The best time of the year. I think. shorts, sun, and heat can't beat it. Miss you guys. Hope Quinn and Bria are well. Enjoy !

Hi Cara. It was great to see another vlog! This is my first full summer being retired and I’m loving it. It was quite an adjustment, however I love the slower pace of my days. Blessings to you and your family.

Hi Cara! Just yesterday, I was thinking about you and your sweet family. Looks like you're having a wonderful summer! 😊 I just finished that John Mark Comer book! It was definitely eye-opening and convicting, in the best way. I actually listened to it on audible and I loved that John was the one narrating it. We also have that Louie Giglio devotional book for my oldest. We're doing a Simple Summer morning routine (like an intro into homeschooling) from the Brighter Day Press. Super cute! What sides do you have with your protein? That's a stressor for me, since my girls are so picky. 😅 What a fun summer you've been having! We were just up in northern Wisconsin over the 4th of July visitng family, and I've been down to Chicago a few times for a wedding, a birthday party and visiting family. 🤗 We also took the girls to the Shedd aquarium and they loved it! Loved thus video and can't wait for the next one! Have a great day! 💛

I truly love your vlogs ur so relatable and seem like such as sweet soul. I never comment on KZfaq but just wanted to know I always watch ur vlogs and always enjoy them have been here since the Quinn was a baby❤️

I loved this summer vlog!☀️ And YES I definitely think you should chop your hair! It’s so cute short! 😍

Have you read any of the other Katherine Center books? If not, you definitely should read The Bodyguard!

Hey Cara, It looks like you all are really enjoying your summer! It's so nice that you and Eric have date nights. The girls are looking so big. I can't believe Leo's starts preschool so soon! I hate that they grow up so fast! I love that mug you have that says, "The days are long, but the years are short." I say that saying ALL THE TIME. We have been go go go all summer too. Hope all is good and well. All the best, Clarissa 😊❤️🥰

Good morning Cara happy Sunday morning to you and I enjoy your channel and you are amazing supporter

My kids are 21, 21 and 20 but Shepherding a Child’s Heart by Ted Tripp is such a great Christian book for parents. Also, at my job, we’ve had John Mark Comer speak a couple times! Great guy and his new book, Practicing the Way is supposed to be life changing! I have it but haven’t started it yet.

Happy Sunday, nice to see you post again! 😊

Hiccups 😂😂

You did the you could, im not planning to travel but good to know for the rest of my pregnancy 🤰 I’ve had some minor swelling in feet like not noticeable but older women at church helped me carry any bags even when I insisted it was not that heavy Plus my mom carried much heavier in her 6 pregnancies but eventually in last pregnancy got vericose veins I think if traveling using wheelchair for swollen feet 😬 even if it feels like im exaggerating . But wow it’s impossible to predict or prevent everything Congratulations 🎊 ❤ God bless you in every step of motherhood ✝️💐🤰🙏❤️✝️🎉
