It’s your house, your channel. Do you and what you need to do. Don’t worry about the negative Nancies

[@marciamartin5559]

Amy, you do you! Love your style of videos. I get tired of watching all of the same thing. A little cooking, a little cleaning, a little family time, it makes it interesting. As far as your trolls, who cares what they think

[@user-bo1rj2xu2s]

Call me naive, but I can't understand why you get snarky comments. Anyone who has lived any amount of time knows things change and I am enjoying watching you change. One thing that hasn't changed is your cheerful optimism and "can do" spirit. That's really why I watch. God will continue to bless you.

[@amymaryon]

Thank you 😊

[@givengrace3162]

Dear Amy...don't worry about explaining to anyone why you do or don't film. Your channel, you get to decide, dear Sister. We wouldn't even know about what we're missing if you didn't mention it 😆. Bless you...

[@marandawhite1400]

There's a website called all recipe that let's you type in the ingredients you have and it will search and give you a bunch of recipes using those ingredients! I love watching you as you are settling in. I watch because I love you whatever you are doing! Thanks for letting me be a part of your life and starting my day off with you every morning :)

[@amymaryon]

I appreciate your kind words 😊

[@jackpot5483]

I feel exactly the same.

[@marybethg5505]

I agree!!!!

[@peggypauline2772]

I really enjoy watching your channel. I think your doing a great job organizing your stuff. Your good at it. I have an idea for your latter. Scoot the fridge over 5 or10 inches and store it between it and the window. That way you can grab it but it's out of your way🌻

[@Tammy_Yeck]

I am enjoying your vlogs, I personally would rather see real life videos rather than just cleaning or cooking ones. You are a blessing :)

[@tweisbach1972]

Good morning, food is difficult in the summer, no one wants to cook or eat lol. We started a game. their are 4 of us who can cook ( sure some a very simple meals) We write slips with staples on it and slips with protein. We draw one of each and have to figure out a meal to make. It makes us try new stuff and use up things from the pantry. We are all loving it. We have a set day to cook and weekends off. Wednesday is leftovers. The kids learn to cook more advanced and are excited to try new things. Thank you for all you do! I enjoy the process, it's all stages of life.

[@amymaryon]

Love the ideas

[@samanthazehr9965]

I love this idea! Thanks for sharing!

[@Nan-NawfromFL]

What a wonderful idea.

[@maureen4787]

Amy, enjoy your videos. I retired andI sold my large house last year and went from a 5 bedroom house to a 2 bedroom apartment. I sold my car and all my furniture to move from Nebraska to Georgia. I took clothes, books and pictures only. It took months to get my life organized and get things I needed. Don’t rush yourself. You do your videos your own way. I’ll be watching what ever you want to do. Love your positivity and kindness. Blessings to you all.

[@amymaryon]

Thank you

Coffee in hand and watching you is the first thing I do! My mom is #4 of 10 kids, 5 boys and 5 girls. Her dad Larry Jansen was a MLB pitcher for the NY Giants in 1940s - 1950s. She’s been in memory care for 2 1/2 years. I miss her so much and your videos comfort me.

Morning Amy. The larger tree LOOKS like a young mango tree. It wouldn’t start fruiting until it’s much larger if it is indeed a mango tree (which is seems to be). The smaller tree looks like an avocado tree. I’m so enjoying this new journey in your life. Love you all! Huge hugs from Hawaii ☀️🌴🌺🥰

I thank you

[@bobbles79]

I dont know if you plan on keeping it this way, because it's obviously entirely up to you, but I have to say I absolutely love the aesthetic of your new home! The soft blue/green colours and touches of brickwork are so lovely. ❤

[@tayloralfonso9902]

I like ALL the videos you do it’s like having a friend to watch doing things around the house. I don’t know why people would be snarky 😔. Moving is a huge undertaking and you have done great get back to things that you want when you want!!! I took my kids to the library yesterday and we are signed up for the summer reading program.😇 I also kept finding myself writing down your recipes as you were talking about them and making them like the pasta salad then I realized I’m just going to buy the online cookbook so I bought your online cookbook. Thanks so much can’t wait to try all the recipes.!!!!!

Hi Amy I am loving every minute of watching your journey of getting your house how you would all like it. In hot climates I would suggest watering first thing in the morning before it gets too hot or last thing in the evening as the sun goes down. Hope this helps. Thank you again for sharing xxx❤

[@peggymoss3185]

Good for you for thinking of yourself first. Everyone need some time to them. You will get into the swing of things when you are ready.

[@barbaralent5559]

Hi Amy, loving your new home and looks like your all settling down nicely into the Florida lifestyle. I moved from a cooler climate to a warmer one and feel you eat differently in the warmer weather than you do if you live where its cooler. Also I try not to utilise my big oven as yes it heats the kitchen up I use my Air Fryer Oven and my Convection Oven more and its working out. An outdoor kitchen sounds great p,ease make sure you have some shade too. I run through Recipe Books but dont write them out it takes too much time I take a photo of the recipe and then print it out for my folder. Good video thank you❤️

[@brendatate8986]

I’m loving the vlogs! I think they are really good to see everyday life not just cooking and cleaning. Our pool was on a timer but when it starts getting hot we run it constantly. That keeps the water so much cooler. The Weismann cleaner is cheaper at Walmart. You might want to check it out. Also Walmart always has TVs on sale. Thanks for sharing your day!

Hey Amy, once you get the outside of the dishwasher clean use an e- cloth on it to continue to clean the stainless steel. You can use it on all the stainless steel in the house and there won't be a residue buildup

[@luzhernaez4660]

I like your videos. Your right life can be the same. And all of a sudden boom something changes. I have a high school reunion which I’m on the committee. Then also we had our kitchen remodel, now I’m in the process of moving, purging, organizing everything back in it’s new place.and trying to a few things for the High school reunion. Omg I’m on overload. But I just focus on the little things. But it gets done. I’m know you will get it done too.

Dearest Amy, May God continue to bless you and your family. Your goodness always shines through whatever you say and do. I too am a good positive person deep down in my heart always. It makes the world easier to handle. As I am senior -senior citizen I have learned to let a lot of trivial unkind things just run off my back and keep it moving. You can’t please everyone all the time..But God knows you sure do a wonderful job of taking care of your family, husband,running a successful business,and letting us gladly share in this wonderful journey.. You are a blessing to many of us who look forward to sharing your life’s adventure daily..Be blessed always. We love you and appreciate the time and major effort it takes to do this creative you tube endeavor while maintaining a life for your family through this major life changing event.. Your strength and faith is not lost on us. We see you! Thank you for your continued inspiration , lovely dedication and FINE example.

That’s a huge favorite. 4-6 lg cans of chicken 1 can cream of chicken soup, 8 oz sour cream, mix and put in dish. Crush a sleeve of ritz crackers and put in top. Melt a stick of butter and pour over crackers. 350 for 3 min. I serve with rice and green beans

I was thinking….about your love of the blueberry cobbler creamer from Walmart. You could always ask them to carry it or you can go onto Instacart and get it. I live in Michigan and work at Amazon and it’s been incredibly HOT and humid here which basically means a sweaty mess. So when I get home I do not want anything hot to eat. So, I have been exploring cold dinner ideas. I have been enjoying a cold pasta salad, taco salad, chicken salad and today I’m making the Cowboy Caviar.
