Come Thrifting with Me! || VLOG 6

[@MrsMidwest]

Hello everyone! Thanks for tuning in. 🥰 I will be doing a video on Wednesday every other week instead of two each week just so I can have more time for my hobbies and social life. 🌷 It’s time for me to slow down a little and take my own advice to focus on homemaking and traditional living! So thank you for tuning in to our first Wednesday video of many more to come! 🤗 Also, don’t forget to see the description to check out today’s sponsor! 💓

[@carolinep.7580]

Mrs Midwest good for you!

[@hedcmac]

Yay!!! I am so glad to hear this! We will wait patiently for your videos...we want you healthy and well rouded...don't feel guilty in the least for making this decision sweetheart...you are choosing wisely. 💖

[@rutheli]

Mrs Midwest I really appreciate the way you’re changing your posting schedule without fuss or lengthy explanations! It always bugs me a little when KZbinrs do that and weighs me down as a viewer because then I feel I’ve somehow become a burden for subscribing and stressing out the KZbinr 😆 this way is much preferred as I know it’s what’s best for your channel and you as you continue to create the best quality content you can!

[@MariaChristinaBari]

No kidding! I was just yesterday wondering how you find the time to put out so many videos 😟 Take care & God bless ! 💖 P.s. Also, being a new subscriber I can now finally catchup on watching ALL your videos ! ☺️ .......😘

[@s.v.4786]

I am not sure if I understood well, will you be posting one week on Wednesday and the other week on monday and thursday and so on alternating?

[@Arzoliz]

Hello, I just saw an upload of a KZbinr called Mr. Atheist about you, and it makes me upset how he talks about you, because even tho I myself am an atheist, I really like you and your content!! Please don’t let any of that put you down, your community loves you Kate❤️

[@pineapplepen540]

If you're into sewing, ask your thrift store owner/manager if you can check out the "refused clothing" pile, or go dumpster diving. It's a great way to get free textiles.

[@julianapatel5228]

I’m a stay at home mom and I love staying home but sometimes family and friends make me feel insecure. May I request a video about how to cope with feeling insecure with my lifestyle? Sometimes it get to me and your videos make me feel like I’m not alone 😊

[@kimalonzo7387]

She did a video on toxic relationships if that helps.🙄

[@alyailithyia]

Never feel guilty. You're doing the most important job on Earth which is raising the next generation. I'm sure you're a lovely mum and never forget you DO have an impact/value in this world. This is coming from a very academic/career oriented woman lol. I do plan on having a family soon and working part time when I get the chance though. Being a homemaker is inspiring and i love that lifestyle!

[@julianapatel5228]

Luna Carminis that made my day 😊🌷

[@sadelorraine8437]

I don't plan on pursuing the homemaker lifestyle any time soon but my mother was a homemaker and I thank God everyday that she helped develop the woman I am today. Do not ever feel bad for choosing a homemaker lifestyle. There are some women who work like mules for cooperate America and wish everyday that they could quit or work part time so that they could spend more time with close friends and family (especially their children). You're doing an honor and will be a blessing to the family you raise. Please be mindful of the people you keep in your circle. Keep like minded individuals around you. I learned this the hard way and had to cut off a lot of people who were not meant to be in my life anymore. My life is now a lot less stressful and hectic because I did what was best for me. Sending you hugs and wishing you luck❤.

[@sklanguage589]

Just hold on Juliana. When you get older you won't care about the naysayers.

[@cocobandicoo]

I was reading your last blog post and I came up with an idea, you don't have to sacrifice slow living for videos or vice versa, you could make easygoing no stress vlogs about slow living, just having a camera in the background, if you want. So you don't have to jam pack the day. I think a lot of us love and appreciate slow living as well.

[@kaylanicoll5400]

I love the energy in this hahaha

Kayla Nicoll I’m hyper from all the good deals 😆⭐️❤️

That red dress looked AMAZING on you! Reconsider! Great date night with the Hubs look!!😍 Thank you for the video...It was fun virtually thrifting with you!

[@MusclesandBooks]

Came here to say this - it's a crime you didn't pick it up!

[@melusekapatamoyo2202]

Thought so too. It looked perfect on her. I was like yes!

[@carolinep.7580]

I get so happy when you post. Your videos are so positive and fun! I love this community of bringing all women together 💗

[@rylea4017]

Your energy is so precious and wholesome, I adore your channel so much! I feel like Im your friend when your talking to the camera haha

[@sandrajones5349]

I'm so interested in your ideas about Christmas gifts for family and friends when you are on a budget. I always overspend to keep up with the rest of my family and I hate it. I would love your input.

[@deaundra15]

Sandra Jones I spent $20 max on each person 🤷‍♀️ tbh no one “needs” anything anyway really in my family

[@jamie7002]

I agree! Plz make a vid on this Caitlin! My personal advice for birthday or Xmas gift shopping at thrift stores is to plan ahead, like WAY ahead, because often, thrift stores do switch out their items that are more seasonal. So for instance, if someone you are buying for has a thing for Hawaiian shirts, it’s gonna be tougher to find that item in a lot of thrift stores after September or so! Anytime I see something at a store or online I think someone I love would enjoy, I make a little list of present ideas in my phone, and refer to it/ revise throughout the year. Then, each time you thrift you can consult your list and sorta keep an eye out for those potential items, getting the best deals on stuff! The best part about a thrifted gift is that even though it can’t be returned, it CAN be re-donated if they don’t like it that much, and the gift-giver is only out a very small amount of money typically!

[@marlygnarly4186]

I feel you on fabric being expensive, I can't believe I've never thought of thrifting sewing fabric!

[@laurenruiz4970]

A lot of craft stores also have a "scrap fabric" area where they sell some fabrics for steep discounts. You can try that as well.

[@isabellabrauhn1678]

Could you do a video on sewing walking through a pattern? I just bought an apron pattern and I’m very nervous! I’m a first time sewer, but I love the idea of learning to see 💖 I love {useful} hobbies like baking, cooking, thrifting, & reading-and I’d love to add sewing to that but I need help! SOS 😅💕

[@MollySkupine]

Why can’t I find girls like this to be friends with? I swear every girl my age is not into this stuff and only cares about partying.

Also, I share the same taste in clothes and furniture etc. Wish we had the same kind of thrift stores with the same kind of prices where I live.

I do most of my shopping at our local thrift store. I find so many fabulous things really inexpensive! I get a thrill finding "treasures!"

[@kb-lv9kr]

Watching this AGAIN as am missing my charity shopping days during the UK lockdown. Oh I can't wait to go thrifiting when this is all over, I only go about once a month 💜 and have done this since the age of early teens. American thrift stores are enormous and so cheap, incredible!!! Love watching you're vlogs caitlyn, keep up the great work. You are a ray of sunshine ☀

This has to be my favorite video since I am a thrift-a-holic. Also, I love how you keep it modest with pants, by not wearing tight ones.

Congratulations Caitlin, this really shows how desperately girls need inspirational women out there🌸 don’t get burned out and stressed, you are truly changing things for the better with your message and your way of living, I really believe that

[@rougenoir1990]

Oh my gosh I love your current haircut so much! The soft bangs really are giving me soft, angelic yet chic vibes. And I know we all love our long locks but consider chopping off maybe about 3 inches or so to make it look even more flowy and romantic.

I love thrifting. Love your jewelery box and little church!😍I highly recommend the bible project podcast.

[@racheljane_]

So fun! I do budget for shopping, but I need to do more thrifting. There aren’t places very close to me, and they are not as cheap as in the US! But I should still check. And I think that point in shopping where you’re just tired and don’t care is universal! I run a home decor blog so do a lot of home and housewares type shopping, and I usually pile it all into one day. And I totally reach that late afternoon point where I am OVER it 😂

[@sarahozonline]

I really enjoy Sally Clarkson's podcasts on parenting. Very encouraging

[@melissag8270]
