EVERYDAY SUMMER HOMEMAKING

[@sharirohde]

Forgot to mention, I have 3 flower spikes on my orchid! First time since the orchid was gifted to me when my mom passed away. It’s like she’s popping in to say hello. Can’t wait for them to bloom! 💐

[@FaithandFlour]

Wow Shari! Three on one plant! I think that is a gift from your mom for sure. 🥰🙏

[@rocketmom60]

If I ever am able to build another home, I definitely plan to have a drop down ironing board. Because we are retired, we don't have much ironing to do any more, so having a drop down to do a single tee shirt or pair of pants is what I need now. Hate getting the big board out now. However, I think we are in our final house before assisted living, so I think the best solution is simply never iron any more. What do you think of that idea? Have a happy week!

[@FaithandFlour]

I am all for no more ironing! 👍😄 Thanks for watching and have a wonderful week! 🌸💕

[@sueblaisdell2430]

The small ironing board is a sleeve board. It allows you to iron a sleeve without creases.

[@leeanncleveland3375]

I have 5 cactus in 5 different pots throughout our home gifted to me over the years by my mom (the plant guru in our family.) All 5 plants manage to bloom at various times throughout the year/seasons which means we have blooms 12 months/year. What a blessing to continue my mom’s tradition of continually encouraging plants to thrive under her care!

[@FaithandFlour]

That is awesome Leeann! I’m terrible with cacti! 🙈 I bet they are beautiful! Have a blessed week! 🌸💕

[@lisakrushinski9436]

Hello Texas friend! 💛 I’m excited to see your laundry room once it is completely renovated! I’m a plant person, too! 🪴 Right now, I have Christmas cacti, a prayer plant, and a snake plant. Your Swiss oats looked delicious! May God continue to bless and protect you and your family! 💜🙏✝️

[@FaithandFlour]

Thank you Lisa ! God bless you and your family as well! 🌸💕

[@beckymcandrews2749]

So happy to see your video. I love your easy and comforting style of home making. Have a blessed week.

[@FaithandFlour]

Thank you so much Becky! Have a blessed week as well!🌸💕

[@anya425]

I have a drop-down ironing board and find that it is a game changer. Makes ironing much easier.

[@FaithandFlour]

Thanks Anya! As soon as I replace the cover I will start taking advantage of it. 👍😉💕🌸

[@lisatodd3446]

I purchased four houseplants earlier this spring. To my delight they are all doing incredibly well! My secret is to water them much less than I want to. 😉

[@MargaretUIUC]

Your orchids look so happy! I have one, which I put outside in May. It is blooming now, so it came back inside where I could enjoy it. This year in my garden, I planted a lot of zinnias. We had a stretch of hot (100 to 110 degree) weather for a couple of weeks, and the zinnias thrived! They are always so colorful and easy to grow, and they laugh at the hot weather.

[@FaithandFlour]

Thank you Margaret! Thanks for letting me know about your zinnias. I’m going to try planting those next year! Enjoy your week and God bless! 🌸💕

[@sharirohde]

Hi Robin! Love the progress of your new space! We have stacked washer and dryer and I do like it. However I’m short. And I had to come up with some creative ways to pull the random sock out of the back of the dryer without getting a step ladder. 😂😂😂. Must be nice to be so tall. Thanks for sharing and can’t wait to see more! 😘

[@FaithandFlour]

Thank you Shari! Height is definitely an advantage in this case. 👍😂I hope you are having a great Sunday! Have a blessed week ahead! 🌸💕

[@wendyj.3858]

My husband purchased a kitchenaid mixer recently. The first thing he made was butter! Its so good! We plan to continue to make it in the future.

[@FaithandFlour]

That sounds so good! Enjoy and God bless!🌸💕

[@dawndawn6946]

Hi, Robin! We moved to this home in the country 14 years ago. Because we have a septic tank here, and our house sits at the lowest point in the middle of the property, I had to stop doing all of our laundry on one day. I can wash 2 loads a day. This was the hardest thing for me to get over!😆 It really disrupted my whole flow of housework. I am currently trying to find homes for all my houseplants. We use the ceiling fans all day in the summer, and the plants are suffering. I may just move them outside to a shaded part of my garden.

[@FaithandFlour]

I understand Dawn! I thought I would have to do that when we moved into this house because we also have a septic system, but fortunately our washer water goes out separately as “gray water”, so that the septic isn’t overwhelmed. I have also had to experiment a lot with plants that thrive here - I hope you’ll be able to find some too! Have a blessed week! 🌸💕

[@carolyneastman6095]

Your laundry room is going to be so nice and very functional for you…..looking forward to the finished product…..thanks for sharing….

[@FaithandFlour]

Thank you Carolyn! I hope you are enjoying a wonderful start to your week! God bless! 🌸💕

[@janicebone6191]

Hi Robin , looking forward to seeing your new laundry room. Until recently,we had a vegetable and fruit cage to deter the deer...we made it ourselves from a kit we got from Amazon...we built it big enough to walk inside, and it worked very well. This year we have stopped using it as my husband is very ill, and doesnt have the energy now. Much love from Cornwall uk xxxxx

[@FaithandFlour]

Thank you Janice! I’m sorry your husband is not well. I will be praying for him, you and your family. God bless! 🌸💕

Robin!!! Your videography is amazing!! Nothing short of pro! Thanks so much for sharing your Swiss vacation with us! Breathtaking scenes and sweet family! Was that where Patrick proposed to you?

[@FaithandFlour]

Hi Pat! Sorry for the delayed response. Your comment went to my previous video. Thanks so much for watching! Yes- that is where Patrick proposed (Gruyère). It’s still one of my favorite places. 🥰 Enjoy the rest of your summer and God bless! ❤️🤍❤️

[@carolwhisenhunt7504]

Can't wait to see your laundry room redo. It will be nice I know. I pray Kyle and Lauren are doing well. Ty Robin. Be blessed friend.

[@FaithandFlour]

Thank you so much Carol! We are with Kyle and Lauren right now and they are doing very well. God bless you and your family! 🌸💕

[@melissashome]

We tried growing sweet corn this year, it did not turn out so well. On the bright side our fig tree gave us some delicious fruit for the first time. Your videos are just wonderful to watch.

[@FaithandFlour]

Thank you Melissa! Gardening is like that isn’t it?! You never know what will come , but whatever happens it’s always rewarding to harvest something good that’s homegrown. Enjoy your bounty of figs and God bless!🌸💕

[@nancycerreta5629]

In New Englad were busy in the gardens. Right now we have a bumper crop of blueberries! Cukes, cherry tomatoes are starting to ripen while the jalapeños and other peppers are right behind. I love to make cucumber water for a refreshing drink.

[@FaithandFlour]

Sounds lovely Nancy! Enjoy your summer garden and week ahead! 🌸💕

[@suer292]

Hi Robin, my first morning on school holidays. I relish my break from work and we have 6 weeks before I go back to work. Any way my first morning and I open the ipad and find a video from you. Such JOY. ❤ I wash and dry exactly like you except we are able to air outside (when it is not raining) but I always do 10 minutes in the tumble dryer which helps with creases and therefore not much ironing. I also do nearly all my washing on 2 days clothes one day, bedding, towels and cloths on another. I am so excited for the laundry room. I do hope your family are all well. Much love 🌿🙏❤️

[@FaithandFlour]

Thank you Sue! We are definitely on the same page with our laundry routine! 😉 Enjoy your summer break and God bless! 🌸💕

[@gloriaalleyne7135]

So happy to see you. I thought about you a lot last week, praying that you did not suffer any damage. As usual a great video. Have a great week.

[@FaithandFlour]

Thank you Gloria! The hurricane missed us, so thankfully we were spared the problems that everyone in its path had to endure. We are praying that everything is restored quickly and that there are no more hurricanes this season. 🙏🙏🙏 I hope you are enjoying a great summer! God bless! 🌸💕

[@itsthevk]

Do you have a list of your recipies? I would love to see your Enchilada Casseerole again to get the ingredients! It is so good and I have lost mine. You have several that I have incorporated into my meals! At least if I knew the episode you introduced it in.

[@rebeccamilwicz6842]

I have 3 easy plants which I love they are thriving nicely. I started a jade plant it is growing very well but I discovered spider mites, so need to rid the plant of those... I purchased a small fiddle leaf tree and it has grown now to almost 5 feet! less than 2 years. love it. I learned about easy plant from you. so fantastic. My outside flowers are doing well even tho we have had over 100 degrees for 2 weeks here in Idaho. No humidity but still hot. thank you for keeping me informed of good recipes and ideas

[@FaithandFlour]

Wonderful Rebecca! I’m glad your easy plants are doing so well too! I love fiddle leaf trees - maybe I’ll add one too! Have a great week ahead and God bless! 🌸💕

[@donnacampbell1641]

Hi Robin - I think your laundry room is going to be so great. I’ve never had stackable washer and dryer either but was interested to see how it all worked. And that breakfast looked delicious. Whipping cream seems to enhance a lot of things I’ll actually whip up whipping cream to put in my chicken salad. And of course you know I am the crazy plant lady who names all my plants. . Most of my plants survived the hurricane. One I’m having to Nurse back to life. Since the deck is all crashed in with the big tree that was on it and the roof Rachel moved all my plants right up by the back door where I could easily take care of them and she moved the hose up there too although it has not quit raining since the hurricane. It is really hampering everybody’s repairs. Many many people have a blue tarp on their roof including me. The insurance adjuster came last Monday morning and I’m just waiting to hear and they said I couldn’t do anything until I heard back from them. Rebecca and Rachel came back to town before I did and they cleaned my refrigerator and freezer out. Before the food got to stink. Such a mess in the whole area. We are finding it hard to believe that a category one did this much damage although we have heard that we had anywhere from 90 to 100 mile an hour winds. I got power and air-conditioning back a few days ago before I came back to town. But have just gotten Internet etc. back last night. There are two lines that run to my house. One that feeds the Internet and router etc. and the other that feeds the TVs. The one that feeds the TVs is laying on the ground out in the water but at least I can do everything on my iPad. You can’t believe how much you miss that when you live alone. We had lots of damages at the church too. We were not able to do Sunday school the last two Sundays but had worship today. Decisions will have to be made of what to do. We had 150 remediation fans blowing and the fire marshal came and said part of the church was OK to have services. I’m trying to be calm and have peace and just take it one step at a time. I had three doctors appointments last week one in Houston. not great reports but at least I do not have to see any of them for three months which is a blessing. Thanks for this fun video. Love in Christ

[@FaithandFlour]

Hi Donna! I’m so glad you are home and that the damage was only to your deck, but I know how hard it is to deal with repairs after a disaster like that. Rachel is so kind to help you with the plants. I hope Carmen Miranda is okay. 😉😄 You are handling everything so well. I hope all is back to normal soon and that the next report from the doctors is much better too. 🙏 Blessings to you my friend! 💕

[@donnacampbell1641]

@@FaithandFlour Thanks Robin. I guess I didn’t make it very clear but I do have a lot of roof damage and will have to have a new roof. They also found water leaks in several rooms with spots on the ceiling that were either caused from the roof or from blowing wind. There were other damages that he found also that I hadn’t even found. Yes Carmen Miranda looks good but Miss Betty the begonia is having to be nursed back to health and is in an ICU. Ha ha

So sorry Donna! 🙏

Hi Robin! Am looking forward to seeing how your laundry room turns out. It looks like a perfect floor plan to me. I also enjoy overnight oats, especially in the hot summer months. I like to soak mine in half milk(almond, oat, dairy) and half mixed berry kefir for a little probiotic action in there😉. Best to your family and I hope Austin is enjoying the summer?

[@alicef.9708]

Wanted to mention that one flavor combo I really like is chopped mango with a touch of almond extract. So good!

[@jodynuttall3215]

I appreciate your thoughts on stacking your washer and dryer. We are planning to do the same in our laundry room in order to create space for storage, and to hide the dryer vent pipe. Now I feel comfortable taking the plunge. Thanks!

[@sugarfree4118]

On another note, if you have washer and dryer stacked and need service, the company will charge you more for unstacking or sending two guys instead of one. you might wait longer because 2 guys are not available as soon as possible.

[@FaithandFlour]

We were able to stack it ourselves, so I guess we can unstack it if necessary. Hopefully we won’t need service, but that is a good thing to consider. 🌸💕

[@SusanAnneveldt]

Hi, Robin. You are lucky you can use your stacked washer and dryer at the same time. I can't. Although the machines are firmly fixed to each other, the store advised against simultaneous use because of unsynchronized rotating. I am in the Netherlands so perhaps the USA is ahead with technology. 😊 I love all your videos! God bless, Susan

[@FaithandFlour]

Hi Susan! Fortunately our units are designed to work together stacked. I haven’t heard of that issue before, but it definitely makes sense. I hope you are enjoying some nice summer weather! Have a blessed week! 🌸💕

Do American households never line dry their clothes, I've noticed the tumble dryer is used all the time. Nothing better than hanging out washing on the line, so much fresher.

[@jeanwoodall1523]

Pam's POV did a video on what cleaners she likes and dislikes. I'm allergic to most synthetic fragrances so I use the least I can get by with and like Pam I like multiple use cleaning items. Our washer is a top load so we can't stack them. My long dresses and skirts sometimes unbalance the washing machine. I do most laundry once a week or as needed as I usually only have one sheet set per bed. The oatmeal looks delicious. Still don't have an income but will reapply for unemployment on Wednesday. My e-reader and selfie stick both broke. The stick broke in half. The e-reader got the white screen glitch and stopped loading the application. I will try the Boox Page and Boox Poke5 next. If they don't work, I will switch back to paper books. First I need a place for the three of us and a bookshelf. Having fun playing my daily phone games and started playing Story of Seasons: Pioneers of Olive Town.
