🤣Oh, dang! Aww. No, thankfully, I'm allergy-free, but my husband has allergies sometimes. It looks like it sucks. 🤗🥰

@simplyambermarie it honestly does. And I'm quite a loud sneezed for a girl so by the time I'm finished I've woken up everything in the house. 🤣

Thank you so much! I'm so glad you're enjoying the channel.🤗 A dedicated GRWM video sounds like a fun idea! I’ve got a few video ideas lined up right now, but I'll definitely keep this in mind for the near future! 🥰

That sounds wonderful! I love how you’re making an effort to engage with your kids’ interests as they grow. Mountain biking and movie critiques sound like so much fun! We’ve found the same in our home-our family activities have really evolved as the kids get older, and it’s been such a joy to experience. Thank you for sharing!🥰

Thank you so much! Hope you do, too! 😆

Thank you!😆🥰

Thank you! I'm so glad! 🥰🤗

Hey, thanks for asking! Coming back to KZbin has been an incredibly fulfilling experience for me, especially since I pivoted my niche. It’s a great way to express creativity and connect with others who share similar interests. If you're thinking of starting a new hobby, KZbin is definitely a fun and rewarding platform to explore. It does take some time and effort, but if you enjoy what you're doing, it’s totally worth it. Best wishes with your new hobby-whatever you choose, I hope you have fun with it! 🤗

@@simplyambermarieThat’s great to hear! I’ve never been that into posting mainly due to the negativity that people can bring online. Have you had much and if so does it detract from the joy of your hobby ?

@@_JR2022 Yeah, I‘ve totally had some experience with negativity, and it can detract from the joy of creating content - when I’ve allowed it to. In my 9 years of posting content for YT, I’ve mostly had more inappropriate remarks than generally negative. I wish I would’ve learned sooner that you’ve got to train people how to treat you on this platform (and in life). Now, I don’t hesitate to delete the comments that I don’t feel comfortable with or are meant to slight me or anyone in my community. (I’ve also had to block certain words and phrases.) I’ll usually give negative commenters a couple of chances before I completely block them, but I haven’t had to go that far too often and not in a very long time. I understand that they’re just people, too, and they may’ve been having a bad day, or maybe I misunderstood them. (I, personally, find it hard sometimes to understand tone on a critical comment, especially if they’re not using proper punctuation or grammar, and I can’t see them to read their face or body language, ahhh!) If a commenter is getting me down, I’ll give it some time to understand it from all perspectives; if their words are still bothering me after I’ve made sure it’s not just me being a drama queen and taking it the wrong way, I’ll go ahead and just delete it. Basically, have zero tolerance for negativity (in a constructive way, of course), focus on the positives of YT (like all the people you might be helping, encouraging, or inspiring!), and you’ll be totally fine!

@@simplyambermarie thank you for your advice, really appreciate it. By inappropriate comments do u mean regarding video content quality as I don’t have much of a set up and would probably be an easy target for poor video quality etc.

@@_JR2022 Any time! 🤗I love people and helping in whatever way I can. By inappropriate, I mean raunchy comments. Your video quality doesn’t really matter as much as your audio quality. I’ve never invested in a camera. I’m still using my smart phone after all this time, upgraded over the years as they’ve broke/died on me. I’ve always used a free video editor, starting with the YT video editor back when they had a more comprehensive one, then the video editors that’ve come with my laptops after KZbin removed theirs. I’ve never had special lighting (unless you count my ring light/tripod combo that I had several years ago, but the light broke maybe less than a year after I got it, and I never replaced it). I have had a few different tripods over the years, and voice recorders. My voice recorder that I’ve had for the last 4 years did finally die on me recently, and I tried to replace it with a cheap one. Nope, the audio quality sucked, so now I’m going to have to return that, and get a new one when I’m not so broke, ha! So, I’ve been using my phone camera to record audio lately (it’s good enough for now - way better than my new voice recorder, anyway). But, the setup doesn’t really matter, as long as your audio quality is decent. My best advice is to just start and work with what you’ve got, and you can slowly improve your setup with each video you create; slow and steady wins the race, in spite of any negative feedback about your setup that you may or may not receive.

Thank you so much! 🥰

Thank you so much for all of your encouraging and insightful comments! 🥰 Sorry it's taken me a few days to respond. I've been trying to get ahead on my posting schedule this week; so far, I was able to record 4 videos and fully edit 2 of them. It's been a hectic week, but a very good and productive one. But, I really appreciate all of your thoughtful words! 🤗 May the Lord bless you and keep you! Your sister in Christ, Amber ❤️

We use our fancy China about once a year, on Mother's Day. Sometimes randomly throughout the year, but I'm starting to think about more regular use, now that the kids are older and slightly less destructive 😂! We play board/card games from time to time, but other than that, not really. I used to play with them a lot more when they were smaller, but now that they're tweens and teen, not so much.

Thank you! Right?!!

We have about a few months of food and water saved for us and the puppy.

Thank you so much for saying; such an encouragement! 🤗 Hope you have a great weekend!

Thank you so much; your encouragement means a lot to me! 🤗

Awww 🥰I really appreciate your support! At the moment, I don't have a donation platform set up, but you can support me by watching my videos, liking, commenting, and subscribing to my channel. Every bit of engagement helps me get closer to monetization. Thank you again for your generosity and encouragement! 💕

Thank you! 🤗

Hey, thank you! The music is various instrumental, classical music from Epidemic Sound.

Thank you!🤗 Sorry it took me so long to get it together and post something for y'all!

Sorry, I know it's been a while. I have one that I uploaded at the end of January, but I was holding off publishing it because I wasn't quite happy with it at first and wanted time to review it. I think I'm gonna end up publishing that one, plus I'm working on another. The plan is to publish both by the 19th of this month!

@@simplyambermarie well keep up the great work

Hey! So sorry for the delayed response; things have been so hectic here, so KZbin's been pushed to the backburner temporarily until I get it together 😂. But, thank you so much for your kind words and all, and I hope you have a blessed week!🥰

Hey, great question! I've been posting the last Tuesday of every month for at least the past few months. There won't be a video this month, though, mainly due to the holidays (more details about that in my recent Community post). I'm trying to figure out a more efficient content creation workflow for the new year so I don't miss any more monthly posts for y'all. But, yeah, my goal is to post once a month minimum, probably toward the end of the month, since that seemed to be working out for me with my busy schedule.

​I hope you had a great christmas ​@@simplyambermarie

Hey! I would totally re-upload all of my old videos; but, all of those memories are lost forever from when I bulk-deleted my channel and all of its content about four years ago or so. I didn't save any content before deletion. At the time, I just needed to let go cold-turkey. But, I'm so glad you enjoyed Amber's Way, and thank you for sticking with me this far through the transition to Simply Amber Marie!

Oh ok

Nice! 🤗 Thank you; you, too!

Thank you! You too!

I would totally reupload them, but I permanently deleted my entire channel and its content back in 2019. I deleted it because I was working full time, hadn't posted in a year at that point, and thought I was done with KZbin. But, yeah, if I could reupload, I would - my old content is just lost forever. Sorry 😢 Hope you have a great week and are doing well! 🥰

Aww thank you! 🥰 I'm planning on returning to KZbin in September. I've just been so busy with trying to balance a full-time job, a new puppy, and homeschooling prep! 😩🤣 Hope you're having a great weekend and have an awesome week ahead! 😁

Aww ok it's a good thing to have many things to do in your life without this the life is boring tbh, btw i hope the best to you take ur time and have fun 🌸🌸

​@@karenva00that's a great way to look at it! I definitely never get bored anymore 😂appreciate ya so much ❤️

@@simplyambermarie XD , welcome 💮

@G00gleAcc0unt01 Thanks! 🥰 I can totally talk about my job in a video. Is there anything in particular you'd like to know? Hope you have a great weekend!

Thank you!

Thank you! Hope you had a merry Christmas, and Happy New Year!🎉
