I am so happy the kiddos are doing good in school. I also am so proud of you mama for not struggling and see how well they are, I think that is the worst thing we worry about is if they are enjoying going to school and find friends, not shy, not crying and so on. I basically think we struggle (moms) more than our kiddos do. 😂😂 The pot pot look delicious, I am definitely going to be trying it, it is easy to put together and.simple enough to clean up. Be safe and God bless 🙏💞

[@CrystalTara]

You are so right, we struggle more than the kids do. HA!

[@tonip.3251]

We’ve had our couches for 12 years or so-I’ve seen zippers, but I never have ever thought of washing those! Your energy!!

Same! I was thinking you can wash couch cushions....who knew?! Well actually I guess it's couch cushion covers. Haha...

Your videos are always a breath of fresh air. I truly watching you.

[@mrsq9250]

Crystal maybe on the sign with all the wording that you got from Joannes last year, you could put either tissue paper secured behind there or the paper that they use from TJ Maxx and tape it on the back behind there so that you can see the wording a little bit better. Just a thought

[@phyllisanngodfrey6137]

My grands are back in the classroom now and thrilled to be out of the house and seeing more people. I hope everyone stays well and we don’t have to revert to virtual learning. PS I ordered that chopper and love it.

[@ginalepore5732]

Try adding a piece of white card stock to the back of the Joann’s sign, it may make the words easier to read.

[@michellefrance1165]

Exactly what I was thinking.

[@annh.]

Have you thought about cutting out a piece of colored poster board (white, orange, green?) or even some pieced together card stock (same colors as mentioned or even a small print) to go in the back of the metal cut out sign? It would make it easier to read.

[@denisevalentemcgee4802]

I immediately thought the same thing! I think it would work!

[@MissTLCmn]

I have that same sign and that's what I did. I was going to suggest it but you beat me to it! Great minds...:)

This is a great idea!

Crystal, I baked this pot pie 🥧 tonight.... Baked on 375 degrees for 45 minutes. It turned out perfect! It was so delicious 😋! And my husband loved it! It's a keeper! Will make this a weekly or twice a month meal. We are empty nesters, so we have leftovers! :)) Will have to make this when my son and daughter come home! They will love ❤ So, thanks for sharing!

[@kathyfenwick9423]

Oh my gosh that chicken pot pie looked so yummy! I need to try making one! Glad the kiddos are all enjoying school!:) it must seem very strange not having the twins around eh! We facetimed with our son today , he survived his first week of college & it made me so happy that he is settling in, making lots of friends & is adjusting well. We got home yesterday from a little road trip after leaving him on Monday & it hit me when I seen his room & not gonna lie, cried a little , he prob won’t be home until Christmas but I know he’s happy & doing as what he calls living his life & that’s what we as parents want for our kids❤️ I always enjoy your videos, it’s like chatting with a friend:)

[@CrystalTara]

That's good that he's doing well. Is he pretty far away from you? I hope you get to see him before Christmas is here!

[@kathyfenwick9423]

@@CrystalTara thank you! He is 22 hours away from us in Southern Ontario, we are in Northwestern ontario, aboit 2 hours north from minnesota border. We don’t have much for an airpirt so he will fly into winnipeg mb or thunder bay ontario (which are both 4 hiurs away west or east). He gets 1 week off @ end october but with travelling time he’d only have 5 days whereas at christmas break he’s off from dec 18-jan 7th i think? Lol but he also might take some shifts @ the hotel he worked at. But i will take whst i can get, quality over quantity❤️

That pot pie looks delicious, yum! So glad your kids are doing well in school. Mine started this week (Kindergarten & 2nd grade) & they love it. I have a bunch of dried wheat from Trader Joe's from a few years ago. It still looks great. I find that storing it in the original package helps.

[@cathyboyd3737]

Bailey is so cute. Enjoyed your fall decorations looks cozy. Have a great weekend. 🍁🍂🐿🍁

[@candycep526]

Dried flower tip. Dried flowers can be messy but so beautiful. I like to separate the stems outside and give them a light spray with shellac and let dry before placing them in a container. This does not totally eliminate the messiness but certainly reduces it.

[@lynnehampton1777]

Hi Crystal. I love Fall. Love to decorate. Love the Fall smells and all the feels. Love all your fall decor. The barn wallflower is so cute. So glad school is going well for the kids and Mom too.

Hi Crystal! That recipe sounds absolutely warm and delicious on a lovely fall day. I am proud of you.

Crystal, I sold furniture for many years, and the manufacturers always emphasized that the zippers were not for removing and putting in the wash; only for adjusting fullness or to add padding . Please use caution when doing this!

[@suechernet1618]

Hey Crystal I love everything you do and am a big follower but the chair by the entryway bothers my OCD every time I see it! I would look for a small table to go there which I know will be challenging. Hope you don’t feel this is negative because I just love you and your home.😘

[@jwilson941]

To: Sue Chernet, Have you been diagnosed with OCD by a professional medical doctor who is currently practicing and how is a small table instead of a chair by the entryway going to be different?

[@suechernet1618]

@@jwilson941 for me the chair is facing the wrong way and a skinny small table would lie flat against the wall. Yes I have been diagnosed if you lived with me you would know! 🤣 It is just something I live with but it doesn’t hold me back from living as normal as possible.

[@jwilson941]

@@suechernet1618 Thank you for taking the time to respond back. I was curious because I did not understand how a different piece of furniture, a small table instead of a chair would make a difference, there would still be a piece of furniture. The placement of a skinny small table may or may not lay flat against the wall depending on the person placing it and the person viewing it, it is all perspective. I asked about the diagnosis because I see people on KZbin and in person use that medical term in what appears to be a loose and incorrect way. I think when it comes to home decor there are various perspectives no matter how a piece of furniture is placed or not. I was curious if that was a serious request for an adult to realistically expect another adult whom they do not know and do not live in their house to change/adjust their decor in an attempt to not bother another adult on the internet if you are an adult.

If you steam the dried baby’s breath looking flower it spreads out and won’t shed so much and makes it a lot easier to deal with. Just turn on your kettle and hold it upside down over the steam. Love your style ❤️🍁🎃

[@tabithamaxwell2379]

Hi Crystal! You mentioned that the black metal sign in your entryway was hard to read. I also got that sign last year and thought the same thing.. This year, I decided to use some of my battery powered warm white fairy lights and taped them around the back inside of the frame! Since there’s a little lip on the back side, it holds the battery pack perfectly! The lights illuminating through the words looks great! I have my sign in our butler’s pantry and use it as a little night light for that room. ☺️ Just wanted to pass on the idea in case it’s something you’d want to try! Take care!

Hi Crystal! Well I like the decorating so far for the foyer! Where is the vase from that you initially put in the white cabinet in the foyer then decided on the basket instead. I know I've seen it before and was curious where you purchased that. I bought a bunch of those HL basket pumpkins in ivory and the color you showed. I put them in a big wooden bowl with black wrought iron handles that I bought at Kirkland's this year and put it on my kitchen island. I just loved those too! Glad to know the Ethan and Andrew are liking school. It's so great they have each other which helps with the loneliness that some children feel. I've had to take all my Fall decor down so we could get all the furniture and decor out of the dining/livingroom/kitchen area as we are starting to lay down our new flooring. After we took the carpeting out, we found that we have some rotted wood near the deck doors so now we have to see if we can find someone to look at it and fix the problem So now everything is halted indefinitely. I just wanted to cry today....we have three bedrooms crammed full of furniture, the kitchen has our couches and 44 boxes of flooring. It is a disaster. At this point I have no idea when it will get fixed. I'm thinking I never should have decorated and wasted all the time and effort. But at least I enjoyed it for a couple of weeks!

[@CrystalTara]

The wood vase is from Decor Steals awhile ago. Sadly, I'm having a hard time finding them on their site now. I'm so sorry!

Cooking alone is so nice (and your recipe looks great!). As for your JoAnn’s sign, I’ll bet if you attached a piece of wood directly behind the letters they’d pop more, either plain wood or maybe painted white. I remember being thrilled when school started, but when they started leaving for college I may have shed a tear or two 😉…I actually had a granddaughter start college this year…enjoy those kids, the years just fly by!

Love everything you do! A couple of tips; I spray my grasses (if they shed) with hairspray. It seems to help a bit.

Just some thoughts❣️
