decorating our front yard for Christmas | Vlogmas Day 11

[@hebahamza9916]

The minute you lit the lights and stood there, I thought: Wow! A year ago she was dreaming of the house being decorated for Christmas and look at it now! We're happy for you and for all the HUGE effort you've put into this vision to come to life ❤️

[@alinabenartzi]

Its amazing how you do e-v-e-r-i-t-h-i-g by yourself!!!! this job of hanging the lights is for at lest 2 people! I really think you are kind of superwomen! love you!

[@donnabacon4681]

She IS a superwoman! Gosh! If I only had half of her energy, I would be ecstatic!!

[@leamariechristiansen346]

You're doing such a great job with everything! I really hope you're not pressuring yourself too much, I can't believe the amount of work you have to do everyday, with both building, decorating, filming, editing, being Kinsleys full-time mom and just the everyday stuff. This is a friendly reminder that we all love and support you, no matter if you need a break or just chill in your vlogmas once in a while 🎄✨️ merry Christmas to all your family ❤️

[@casandradickinson8518]

Totally agree with you, unbelievable that some viewers still ask for more.

[@ephphathaoracle]

100% prioritize your self care ❤️

[@FolkFaninMA]

Totally agree. I think this is why she takes a couple weeks break though after vlogmas. She certainly deserves it!

[@zoodleinfo]

She seems like she’s under a lot of pressure. I wish her well. I really enjoy her channel. I’m not feeling that Romeo guy. Relationships are hard. I’m new so I don’t want to say too much

[@rachaelnugent]

i'm so weirdly excited for that patio organising!

[@San11006]

Me too!

[@FolkFaninMA]

LOL Nothing like a good organization video.

[@lisaintheuk3347]

Thumbs up 👍🏻 for all us ladies that do our own outside lights!! Well done hun, you did great!! 🥰🎄🎄🎄

[@eja0516]

You can use battery operated lights for the wreath and little trees. They usually come with timers 6 hours on 18 hours off. Right now Michaels has them for like 40% off.

[@aeep0820]

So pretty! Be sure to wrap each connection point of your outdoor lights with electrical tape (where one strand plugs into another). It helps protect them against water so that they last longer.

[@msbarbados68]

I am not one to follow many KZbinrs or religiously follow their channels but all that changed since I discovered your channel. You are such a likeable person with a warm, inviting demeanour, pure and genuine. Thanks for allowing us into your life. Greetings from The Netherlands.

[@MicheleWalkerWebb]

The Netherlands! How wonderful to live there. US here, Southern California. 👋🏼👋🏼👋🏼👋🏼👋🏼

[@amandacosco2336]

Absolutely beautiful!! AMAZING JOB 👏🏼 Just a little tip.. The garland of lights that are out don’t remove them try replacing the little fuses in the plug first. There’s a tiny door that slides open! Usually it’s the fuse when all the lights go out 🫶🏼🎄 I absolutely love your videos XO

[@nacnud1]

Your cottage is getting prettier and prettier every day. It's gorgeous!

[@triciascott9254]

FYI..in yesterday's vlogmas..you covered your paveway because you don't want the sand washed away. Actually..you WANT the rain to pack it down to an extent. Not a full on monsoon....but usually a hose is used to pack the sand down between pavers after brushing it in.

[@tinakragelund5105]

I have been thinking the same 👍

[@katharinaeckert1468]

The rain work for your favor

[@michelled5226]

People actually water the bricks after swiping the sand between bricks.

[@brangrim9774]

As long as the edging is on all the way around. If it's not then it can wash away... learned that from experience.... I didn't get to finish and it unexpectedly rained and it wasn't much sand but I had to go get another bag to fill in the edge I was working on 😳🤦‍♀️

[@christinamaiville4394]

Polymeric sand does need water to set it.

[@AllThingsDee]

Your vlogmas is literally part of my daily zen moment. When I’m off work and I’ve put my son to bed…I turn to your videos with a glass of wine and just RELAX 🥰🥰🥰 Thank you for that! 😂❤️

[@conniesisco6468]

I ride my stationary bike every day while watching! Makes the time go by much faster. 😊

I got my sweatshirt today!! Thank you MaCenna and Romeo! Can’t wait to work on projects in it 🫶🏻

[@k1mst3r]

Can't wait to see the patio reveal. Lol at Kensley always talking in the vlogs 😂 she needs her own channel

[@sallysmith4492]

So breathtaking!!! Know people in the neighborhood or driving by will be utterly charmed by your Christmas cottage!!! Congrats!!!

[@YoutubeFabLifeOfJan1]

That's what I was thinking. I'm like...her neighbors are probably saying, "That house looks great!"

[@GabeGonzalez]

Can anyone else feel Kinsley’s barks in their soul?

[@dianeschenkelberg8270]

We don't need no man to do things for us. But having one that loves and supports us is gold.

[@helenkoulouridis8001]

MaKenna you are right, you don’t need no man. You virtually fixed your cottage your self. Well done girl. Lenna uk 🇬🇧

[@sarahcole3400]

I’m starting my finals week in college right now and your videos help me to make sure I take a break everyday. I was getting stressed during an assignment and your video popped up and it gave me the motivation I needed to get through today. Thank you for all you do❤

[@kaylaotero3073]

I decorated today as I watched a bunch of your vlogs. It came out so pretty. Thanks for the holiday company and you are doing amazing!

It’s so fun to see you cottages start to turn into the beautiful Christmas wonderland that you imagined last year! Thank you for sharing your life with us daily during Vlogmas- watching your videos has become a favorite part of my holiday tradition 😊

The hardest working most loved vlogger. Your decorations are fabulous. Can't wait to see the outside lights all lit when you complete it ❤️❤️❤️👏👏👏👏👏

[@DC-ik6cm]

I used to put my pup on a lightweight leash when I was working outside.She would lay down and everyone was happy😊

[@cam-tv5rb]

But that cat is hanging around and pooping there. Not safe for Kinsley because she's so small, and even less safe if she managed to eat the cat's poo. Could make her extremely sick. 😔

[@loissaedder2214]

@@cam-tv5rb I'd be actively discouraging the cat from hanging around. I have problems with cats pooing in my yard etc. It's not pleasant.

[@courtneyjw9828]

It looks absolutely beautiful!! And yes, I know it’s nice to have your partner there to help but you are an amazing example that anything is possible with some determination and hard work! ❤

[@chelsarex]

I love sweet Kinsely but the barking omg lol

[@alexandratracey8252]

You have the best parents! ❤ and the house looks so magical.

[@kebert2thumbsup]

You can totally plant those trees in the yard after Christmas!

[@lindabell5534]

One of the smart things I found was putting the plug part in a cover . Couldn't found any so find a hack you use rubber lidded snack containers spot cut to let the male/female parts meet inside and the connection is out of rain. You can cover each part with just right stuff to make container look like a rock and spray paint it to finish it off. There are inline ones you can pay that are great ,but a small butter tube that is turned in to say a package or bow hidding it works also.

[@lizcallaway166]

Oh my god I can fix my broken outlet now! It’s just like a light fixture!!! Thank you for that macenna! ❤❤❤❤❤

[@jessiechacon2487]

Looks so nice!! Just a tip from a florist - you should put the evergreen wreaths on the outside of the windows. The greens need cold temperatures to stay fresh. Give them a spray with water every day or two as well! :)

[@debbiegordon7622]

It's great to share my front yard with the world (at least my community). But I must say, those icicle lights are something I avoided doing for a few years now, but you make them look sooo good, the wheels are turning again. Thanks, MaCenna, love it all!
