getting back to our PATIO MAKEOVER | VLOGMAS DAY 11 & 12

[@justRoRo]

Very excited to see the deck completion! and it seems like your chipper self is reemerging. I'm happy for you that you felt a sense of accomplishment with getting started. 😊

[@W1ttyOne]

The moon through the clouds over your left shoulder is EVERYTHING!!

[@FrijNawar]

Yes I stared to it too❤

[@Katsimagination21]

I’m loving the Christmas vlogs ! You’re doin great MaCenna ! Take it easy on yourself , you’ll have plenty of time for projects but Cade will only be a baby for such a short time ❤ in regards to that BIG patio pot, you can get casters for underneath to easily move them around ! Any garden center or even Amazon , I found ones that will hold a lot of weight . Can’t wait to see it done !😊

[@KittyKatThrift]

Hang in there your growing as a Mama with him. There will always be challenges with a child - even when they grow to be adults (I know lol). I have 2 boys, they are grown now and STILL the shining lights of my life! Have no doubts in what you do as a Mama and Romeo as a Daddy!

[@indiabilly]

I am so grateful for your content, it’s so lovely and calming, aesthetic and full of real love, enjoy your time off you have definitely earned it xx

[@barbarashelton6709]

The patio is going to be spectacular!!!! Love the Christmas lights out side!

[@carolscott9973]

No wonder it takes you so much time to do a video on your big channel; this vlog showed that there is so much work that goes into filming an episode. It’s not just as simple as getting your paint and paint brush and painting the deck boards; it also involves stopping and moving the camera and getting all the different angles. I’m looking forward to seeing your patio makeover, but will wait patiently because of your schedule as a new mom (although I am a grandma now, I still remember having my babies and going to work everyday and trying to balance work and life, it’s not as easy as it sounds).

[@javabeanstudio]

I meant to comment on the last video and forgot! But you have that giant art piece in the guest room/nursery, could you potentially move it to the big wall in the living room temporarily, until you build the bookcase? Since you see the living room way more than the guest room, it seems like maybe it could be a good use of that large art just during the in-between time.

[@DonjeteAhmeti]

I was thinking the exact same thing!!

[@AGirlNamedMary]

I totally see you redoing the upstairs bathroom now that you will be in it with Cade! 🥰

[@rambleon57]

We can't wait to see the bookshelf come to life next year!!! Thank you for all of your vlogmas videos, they've been amazing 😊

[@Lucinda_Jackson]

They really have been!

[@akelly4207]

One time we were having guests and my mum only had enough stain left to do the floor around the furniture 😅 she painted herself into the room and had to climb out the window.

[@safirakhan6654]

I love that she is happily enjoying LA but I miss Texas Cabin a lot and I was very excited for those bedroom makeovers.

[@deniselove1585]

Me ,too. The cottage was the best!

[@puppiedaze6765]

You should make a tray with casters under it for that big pot. It would save your back and make cleaning and decorating on the deck so much easier on you. Put on 4 casters, as three is a mistake, trust me. 🔨

[@mrg-k2r]

enjoy each day. they are all different and lasting in memory

[@anonymousanonymous5332]

Keep the advent calendar box and put your own treats and gifts in it next year for her 😉

[@cynthialudford42]

Welcome to motherhood. Cade hasn’t even started crawling. I’m an empty nester, parent and I’m still exhausted. lol. I feel like when you have grandchildren time goes even faster than when I had kids 😄

[@marybrooks5900]

@@cynthialudford42 so true 👍

[@irmatalamantes2041]

I know how hard it is to get things done with a baby, however, you are blessed to have Romeo be a stay at home Dad and can help you with the babies so you can do your job and projects. Cade is getting so big, I love his chubby little hands!

[@marcelinahemington2150]

I don’t think Romeo is a stay at home dad, I think he works from home :)

[@keld6320]

@@marcelinahemington2150Yes he is not a stay at home Dad. I think he is running a shop online and does markets too.

[@mmalek49]

Love you MaCenna you light up my day

[@MaryseRacine7640]

I took my bath with my children when they were small(on my laps new born) until 2 years. Very easy and my hubby dried and dressed them. After 2, I showered with them. And it did not kill my back. Now, I give a shower to my grand kids and they found it funny because I get int the shower with my pyjama…

[@judyzwemke9305]

You could put her "good" treats in her advent calendar.

[@misspepe7416]

Thank you for sharing! I loved this vlog! ❤

[@kristinewells961]

I had 2 little water babies who both loved to use the little bath seat that stuck to the bottom of the tub! They were supported to sit up but could reach and splash and play 🌟🌟🌟

[@joeyfletcher8983]

My kids loved that one too!

[@Vanilla.and.Company]

I know this was a long time coming, and you’re almost done!! But love thy you are prioritizing ACTUALLY enjoying December over work! I’m learning that balance still 😂 Tell Kinsley that Vanilla says hi 🫶

[@justatitle]

Just so you know babies have a period of just mommy. Only mommy can do. The way your son is holding onto you, reminds me of that time. Embrace it, because it doesn’t last long. You’ll wish you could have that again.

[@shirleyhandley909]

Babies get first teeth at six months! Oh boy. This will be a new experience.😂

[@feel_the_walk]

Amazing work done! ❤I just came to Russia to film true russian life. How they decorate for holidays and atmosphere there. And I am not just filming videos, I also watch you from there! Internet here is slow but I try to watch your new video before going to bed for a good mood ❤😊

[@dhammes9616]

Merry Christmas MACENNA and family have a blessed merry Christmas and a happy new year

[@Stephanie.Hudson]

I love watching you bring the life back to this LA home. I’ll admit, at first I couldn’t envision it; not like I could the TX home. But I love all the wood tones you brought back in. Warms it up so much and it’s really starting to feel like the cottage, to me. A cozy little haven we visit weekly. I’m sure when you do the bookshelves and strip the beams in the main living room that the feel of that room will be perfect. Adding paneling would be gorgeous too. ❤

[@crystalgardner7277]

That moon! Love

[@sueriley4412]

I thought so too.

[@chrisglenn5221]

Welcome to motherhood!!!!!!!

[@Kerrie-AnneBruce]

There's never enough hours in a day when you have children. When my kids were little, I'd be up until 3-4 am. trying to catch up ❤

[@gratefulviews]

Loved the bts for the main channel - and really looking forward to seeing the patio!

[@charlottefolsted478]

You are such good parents. ❤ Cade is one lucky little boy ❤️ Marry Christmas 🎄

[@starlapowers3111]

58 is warm for mid December! I’m in MN and it’s been below zero windchills for 3 days. We’re supposed to get close to 35-40 over the weekend … literal heatwave!!

[@sondracampbell8252]

My favorite movie EVER!

[@janetdavis5619]

The Holiday, my fave!

[@mrg-k2r]

have a great holiday season. thank you for vlogmas

[@jeffvenables4845]

Hi Macenna. Life is different when you have a baby, or children in general. Which I’m sure you can already see. It is really difficult to plan anything because so much depends on what kind of day they’re having. You are so fortunate to have such a supportive partner in Romeo, but it can still be a challenge. Sometimes they just want mama. To be flexible is really important (which you totally showed us when you were climbing in and around the pot on the porch-haha.) Not that kind of flexible-but you know what I mean! 😝 You are doing such a good job with all of the aspects of your life. You should be very proud!

[@donnaryan9365]

You crack me up! I lived in The Bay Area and coming from the NORTHEAST?? The weather there a piece of cake! But!!! I do alot of outside painting here. Houses , cabins etc and we can paint if it’s over 40 DEGREES! So you’re safe at 58 my dear. House is looking good! Baby Cade??? My gosh growing like a weed! He’s a big boy and yes GOOD JOB MOM AND DAD🎄🎄🎄🎄💜

[@otarola]

Yeahhhhh 🙌🏽❤

[@lindabell5534]

The season will set you DIY and outside ends in October it put plants to bed and get ready for winter. I'm told up north its in September . To start.

[@BeautyandtheBronx]

It’s almost overrr ☹️🥹 Gonna miss my Macenna videos!! I’ll just watch the old videos until you get back 😏😅🎄💯✨

[@kristinewells961]

Merry Vlogmas!!

[@lindsayonuffer5131]

Yay! I was just searching and searching for something to watch waiting for you to post 🙌🏻🩷 perfect timing!

[@mclemay6703]

Idea: you could donate the treats she doesn’t like to a local animal shelter for Christmas. 🎄

[@glendashine9468]

It sounded like Cade was having fun splashing in the tub. I would have died to have that pair of cushions back in the day I was giving baths! I actually shocked that you didn’t stain so that you would end at the kitchen door 😂

[@RebeccaABeaudoin]

Ugh this makes me miss my porch sooooo bad! Our new house is great and all, but DANG the porch is a vibe

[@omyb5340]

You made me laugh so much in this video I absolutely enjoyed every moment great video ❤

[@JoyceBlanton-u9z]

Get some lavender scented baby bath soap. It is pretty calming

[@sunshineher]

My husband and I say this all the time. There's just not enough time in a day! Especially when you're a parent...😢

[@mooceguera8650]

I can’t believe he’s 6 months already! It seems like just yesterday we saw your pregnancy 🥰

[@jakimcmurdo4810]

Most babies go through a Velcro stage just go with it ! Maybe he s beginning to teeth. You do so well balancing your life between baby , Romeo and Kinsley and work I juggled working 42 hours a week and childminder and baby he s now 31 and my hero !, 🇬🇧❤️😁

Good to know - that's two good reviews (yours and MaCenna's). I've been eyeing it and now I'll give it a go.

[@heidigresh2743]

Perhaps you can use a roller to apply the second coat to the porch?

Cold? We here in Michigan are at 11° for our low tonight. 😅 Lots of snow up north. We have less than an inch where I live but Brrrr!! It's cold!!

[@jayde6873]

MaCenna! Since I’m early I have to ask! Do you have a link for the black jumpsuit you wear in your messy project videos? I’m 6 months pregnant and my work often has me working with messy materials and would love to buy one for myself! Thanks ahead of time if you see this❤

[@barbarapeterson8030]

THANKS SO MUCH MaCenna, Romeo, Cade, and Kinsley baby sweetheart for THE 12 DAYS OF CHRISTMAS FOR US! Cade tell mama, I am going to grow up quick. It is 6:41PM and 24 degrees IN THE BURGH! HAPPY HOLIDAYS!🎅🎅🎅🎀🎀🎀STTB 2XS

You ARE doing a great job! Not only in parenting, but balancing it ALL. You have your priorities in line. I applaud you, because it is tricky and challenging. Enjoy the movie…I love that one! ❤

[@lovelife07o7]

No, you can’t tie in day 11 and day 12 together! You owe us another day Lol 😂❤

[@linmurray436]

LOL, 58 degrees and you have to bundle up? In Oregon we are taking our outerwear off to work outside!

[@Lucinda_Jackson]

Trust me, it doesn't take more than one year to get used to warmer temps. I'm from the snow capital of New York State and it was cold there! But after just one year living in the South I froze when it was below 65 and at 50-55 I just died! I don't think I could hack it up there now!

[@amystewart177]

Keep a bottle of Mike's Hot Honey on hand to add to any pizza and many other foods. It is delicious.

[@lisamolinar]

All I can say in regards to us, Being cancers we're great at procrastination and rationalizing and justifying everything to our needs. And what I mean by that is I feel you,just don't think about it. We can do it tomorrow And all that,/ Don't think about it, just do it. I've come to learn as a cancer lady. I don't need to think about anything because I reshape It, rewind it, twist it all around. Noooo, I've come to learn, bottom line, just do it. Good luck, girl. You're doing a great job from one cancer, sister to another.🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@elizabethharrell8707]

you need a pot mover that hold water so your deck won't get ruined. On wheels too. Is Cade starting to teeth?(is that the right spelling?)

[@debbiedelahuerta3814]

You are so funny 😂❤

[@kategrayson3490]

It's probably too late for this, but I just saw some Christmas extension cords on Amazon that have spaced out plugs along the cord which might be good for your outside lights.

[@litwin707]

[@lisaaamoun3520]

You look like Ralph on Green Acres in that outfit! Haha!

[@lovly2cu725]

i was thinking you wont be able to get in the door from where you started.😂

[@Lucinda_Jackson]

Me, too! I expected her to start at the railing side and end at the kitchen door. I laughed when she started where did! Then I thought, "That's okay. She can stain and then finish the last strip working from the kitchen door end and finish by the front door." I even thought maybe she planned that so she could go out front and get the ends/sides of the boards under the railings and facing the street. I couldn't believe that she painted herself into the corner! 😂😂 Oh, MaCenna!

trusting this over the ebook Magnetic Aura by Takeshi Mizuki? no wonder the same cycles keep happening

[@trinamacchi6923]

Love your videos! I must ask…Is it a patio or is it a deck or a porch? I love Kinsley’s excitement when you bring out to advent calendar, so cute!

[@marcyfalconer1275]

Didn't you already tell us that you were using the darker stain? Can't wait to see.

[@Lucinda_Jackson]

I think she did, but this is making me wonder if she changed her mind to something completely different after she got the furniture. Can't wait to see what color she ultimately chose!

[@neiltennant1089]

Here in scotland -3 so thats cold

[@Lucinda_Jackson]

Celsius? We would call that 27 here. We had an awful cold snap a couple of days ago and the higher temps got that low here and I thought I would die! 😂 We were in the mid 50s today and next couple of days, but then back up to 68 and 69! (20,21 for you) Yay! ❤

[@mrg-k2r]

you could do a line of healthy baby products

[@KitKat-cc3sc]

Could be teething time!! My best friends grandson had 4 teeth by the time he was 7 months old 😱

[@oOmalwaOo]

Shouldn’t it be called a porch rather then patio? 😅

[@Lucinda_Jackson]

🤷🏼‍♀️ As long as we all know what she means, does it matter?

[@OzlemFatma-s6k]

you’re missing out if you ain’t read the ebook Magnetic Aura by Takeshi Mizuki, it breaks it all down

[@ZelihaHasan-u9y]

this is cool and all, but ebook Magnetic Aura by Takeshi Mizuki shows the whole picture

[@DivinaFeliciano-p1e]

ebook Magnetic Aura by Takeshi Mizuki shows how to break free, but most people don’t even try

[@OFCOURSE20]
