I am trying to remember if you ever did a “Get Ready with Me” video where you show your make-up routine. Your make-up always looks great, not over done at all. It’s a natural look that I think a lot of Moms, especially this homeschooling Mama, would appreciate seeing what you use and how.

[@TheAshleyCarter]

I literally laughed out loud when you said you feel like your boss is there watching when the hubby is there. 😂

[@Amy-hj1qb]

My husband is the principal too! Ready for your evaluation? 😂 My favorite is when the principal does a full homeschooling day. It’s always humbling for him. And I sit drinking my coffee and laughing.

[@jeselivelasco3867]

My husband calls himself the Principal too. 😂😂😂 With the pandemic he has been working from home and it's been almost a year. We love it... The Principal sometimes become the teaching assistant 😉

[@jodireed6287]

My dad had three TIA's/strokes before they found he had a congenital hole in his heart (PFO). That was repaired & no residual symptoms of further episodes! I know how raw I felt during that time. I feel for you. All glory to GOD. He is faithful & near.

[@bdaverly]

I feel the same way about "the boss", when my hubby is home on a homeschool day. I also tend to cut our days short when he is home. So he feels like our days are so much shorter than they normally are.

[@ashleytyson7921]

I love these videos! They are very helpful and encouraging for me

[@cecilianorris4449]

My husband works out at 430am without fail. I've tried and came to the same conclusion that you have. I feel better and workout better later in the day. Why fight it. 😊

[@lovely4833]

I had a brain hemorrhage 2 years ago and it was the scariest thing ever! 3 days after giving birth and first day home alone giving my 3.5 yo a bath and I noticed looking up in the mirror my face drooping and I couldn’t talk right. It was a hard recovery. I remember getting to stores and not remembering why I came and every migraine wondering if it’s that since I sometimes get ocular ones which can be another sign of stroke. Thoughts and prayers for your family member. On a lighter note. I love the ana Luisa jewelry I ordered bc of your recommendation before and also jumped on and ordered another ring a few days ago. Also definitely feel you on the boss is watching feeling. Hahaha Earlier this month I also ended up with pancreatitis and had to have surgery to remove my gallbladder, then an ERCP to unblock my liver. Only took the week I was in the hospital off and got back into our routine bc it really helps. So definitely relate to the pushing through the rut feeling. 💕

[@SamanthaH]

I know this is an older video but I pray your family member is healthy and well now!

[@MikeKendrickMusic]

❤️ praying for y’all. What a blessing you were there. I feel ya on the work out timing. My body just can’t first thing in the morning.

Awesome job Olyvia! Prayers for your family friend!

[@maryrodenbeek1895]

I'm so sorry that you and your loved one had such a scary weekend ❤️ I'll be keeping you guys in my prayers! Thank you for the inspiration today. Take care!

Prayers for your family member and for yourself. ❤️

[@alicerodriguez4323]

Your whole demeaner and voice changed with Walter. So sweet. 😊❤

[@TheMrsDibby]

Thanks for another great video! You have such a beautiful family🧡. Love the end with Walter! What a cutie🥰

[@anitabudgets131]

So sorry to hear about the situation with your family member will be praying for them. I love your DITL. Your husband face lol. He is too funny.

[@tarynswart3575]

Sending you supportive vibes during this emotional and stressful time. ❤️❤️

[@chrystalclune7436]

I love the dog cameo appearances! They are just so sweet!

[@nicolem.837]

I will keep your family in my prayers. I loved Walter's air time...he brought a big smile to my face. Thanks for another DITL homeschool video. I love em!

[@VoodooCrab]

What a great video! Praying for you and your loved one. You did the right thing taking them to the hospital. Don't mess around with out of the ordinary things. You just never know. Walter is absolutely precious!

[@mtngrace123]

I am a MRI tech. A TIA is a mild stroke like you said but it means they can have future strokes that are more severe.

[@Ho_Hop]

I love that you are addressing that you are still going forward with some school. Life happens and if we put school on pause every time something came up we would never finish. I’m sorry you had to go through this and am praying for some answers.

[@HomeschoolHomestead]

We will be praying for y’all! ❤️ It’s so hard to persevere and homeschool during hard times, but I almost find some comfort in the normalcy during those times as well. My husband is the principal too! 😂🤣

[@gracegreenwell2657]

"But that's my yogurt--don't eat that!" HAHA Sorry for your troublesome weekend...it def happens and throws things for a loop but what a blessing you could be there for them when they needed you! We are just starting division...multiplication has been a doozy for us! Such a cute workout look in this video!

[@chrissyt22]

I'm so sorry that happened to your family member. It's good that it happened around you though so they could get checked out and hopefully it won't happen again. I hope they are doing better and on the mend💓

[@britnilavon6019]

Another great day in the life. Loved the longer video today!!

[@GraceandGrit]

Thankyou for watching!

[@FLMegan]

Prayers for your family member ❤

[@gwynneurrutia6946]

Sorry to hear this happened to you and your family 😢 keeping you and them in my prayers. Glad you’re giving yourself a break, you deserve/need one!

[@TrimiMitri]

Oh my, Walter 😍 Same here on early morning workouts. I recently tried(again) to make them work. I dreaded it each day and never got used to it. I'm done fighting against my natural, happy rhythm. I like those endorphins too much that only seem to come later in the day when I'm more awake and have some fuel in me.

[@kendylcrain]

🤣 I feel the exact same way when my husband is home during our homeschool day!

[@KW-bj5jp]

That comment about your husband being around and feeling like your boss was hilarious! I feel like that as well and it gave me a laugh! I love your videos! I always love your jewelry and cannot wait to purchase some! I am praying for your family and loved one! Praying that it does not continue to happen and that you all are given more answers to what may be going on and that God can help ease some of the worry and fear you are having.

[@lindsaychristian4151]

Oh dang! Prayers for your family member and they figure out the cause. I've had a TIA. It was caused by hormonal birth control. Apparently it's fairly common side effect for hispanic women. It's very scary. You totally did the right thing! Homeschool is part of life. And life doesn't stop. Last year we had job loss, a few family members pass away and deciding how to handle school on top of it. I'm so grateful for the flexibility and grace that homeschool provides!

[@GracefullyUnraveled]

Omg Walter saying goodbye in his tie. Soooo cute 😍

[@laurenvanemmerik7599]

My husband had a TIA in 2015. Very scary, he was the same way and didn’t feel he had to go. Glad I finally got him to. So happy everyone is ok prayers for your family. 🥰

[@jerilyn-ourhomeschooltable]

Sorry to hear about your family member. I hope you are more at peace with how to help them. ♥️ I dislike working out in general, I think whatever time feels best is when you should do it. I could never do it first thing after waking up. I need a slow start to my morning. A 10-11am start time is my preferred to go walking/jogging, but sometimes in Summer that’s too hot so I have to go “early” like 8, and I hate that!

[@sarahc2726]

Continued prayers for you and your family member.

[@BNParks]

My sister in law had a TIA incident about 2 years ago...maybe 3? They never did really pinpoint a cause, and she gratefully hasn't experienced anything since. Scary for sure! Prayers for your family member.

[@christinamunoz3170]

I would love an updated schedule video! I have switched working out from mornings to afternoon and it is such a better workout.

[@reasonsforroots6958]

Love all the DITLs!!

[@summershymanski6901]

Oh my gosh walter is sooo cute!!! We definitely need more doggo content!! 😍

[@Penelopepper]

Sending prayers to you and your family member. I hope a diagnosis is found because living alone and that happening is worrisome. Always nice when the principal gets to stop in for a school visit 😂

[@katrinaoliver1177]

Lol! My husband calls himself “The Principle” and he calls me assistant principal. When he works from home kids love it too

[@ChildofYHVHforever]

I have seen this happen frequently after a flu shot. Just sharing in case that is helpful.

[@Amy-hj1qb]

My father in law had one and never again. Prayers your family member has the same experience. ❤️ This week has been rough for us with school. After having the virus (I won’t mention the name) I had a sort of health crisis and now I’m on what I call “rest with purpose” to allow my body time to heal. It feel yucky. I miss doing school so much.

[@caewing85]

I can’t workout as soon as I wake up either. Loved this video!!

[@kloves2471]

I used to feel like I needed to work out in the morning and if I didn't work out in the morning my day would be ruined or I wouldn't feel motivated to work out in the afternoon. Then by necessity, I had to switch my workouts to the afternoon for a week and ended up falling in love. It has become a great stress release from all the days doings and homeschooling. I can't imagine ever going back to mornings now. 😂

[@sarahb9664]

Back before kids I was a social worker and over the years I had several clients have TIAs. One had a series of seven in a 24hr period. I worked with her for a few years after that and it never happened again. I hope your family member is doing well!

[@heatherhoran3743]

My aunt had a couple of TIA’s beginning of the year. She has not had anymore since that day. She has been seen by 2 different neurologist and is thankfully back to work. Praying your family member does well and that this was the last one. They are very scary for sure. My aunt also doesn’t remember anything

[@MistyWarden]

Finding the best time to work out is so personal and it changes even over the course of someone’s life. I get the benefits of early morning workouts but it’s not like the exercise doesn’t work if you do it later lol. I prefer super early morning workouts but my toddlers like to get up at 5am so there is no “before they wake up” for me 🤣. Someday they might change but for now I’m on afternoon/evening workouts.

[@jessicajones2739]

My son spends 2-3 weeks at a time in he hospital for exacerbations multiple times a year. Emergency rooms/hospitals are very triggering for me. All the grace in this time, girl!! Praying your family member will be able to get an answer to this soon.

[@NYMusic89563]

What do you use for bible study? I love the concept of teaching love, obedience, patience ext !

[@daniellenowalk554]

I think it's great that you allow olivia to sit on the floor often to do her work the way she is comfortable .

[@hannahc1072]

Hope you family member is doing better it was a blessing you were with them and able to help. How are you liking the One Blood book? Thinking of getting this one.

[@jonimurray1184]

My brother did that but his wasn’t a stroke it was a type of seizure. He had many different kinds for his whole life. My grandma was miss diagnosed with what they called mini strokes snd they were actual seizures. I hope all is ok with your family now.

[@stephaniemaples4711]

A few months ago my 79 year old grandmother experienced a TIA in the middle of the night. She has no recollection of the event or the ride to the hospital in an ambulance. We did so many tests but all that we have been told is that she has a small pituitary tumor tha is non cancerous but they don’t think it’s related to the TIA. They also said her sugar was slightly elevated and that at her age it can cause more dramatic issues than what we’d expect. She hasn’t experienced anything like that since. Hope your loved one gets answers soon and stays safe! It’s definitely very scary.

[@michellezepf4807]

So sorry you experienced such a shocking experience. My mom started having TIA's when I was 15 and she was 35. She would have one or two a week. By the time she was 40 she had a three full strokes and I had to put her in a rehabilitation center, only she didn't get better. I am praying for your family member.

[@thelifedctr]

Thank you for sharing your experience. I can empathize with you, as my husband and I (including our 3 children - 3, 7, & 10) witnessed my father-in-law have a number of TIAs over the Christmas holiday. Since he is 91 years old and lives with my mother-in-law (who is also elderly with her own health issues) we decided that, during our time visiting with them, it was most prudent to help them set up home health services, including a medic alert type of necklace in the event of an emergency happening at a time when they are alone, as well as someone coming in to help out with every day household things (i.e., cooking, cleaning, etc.) during the week. I know how scary this is. However, by the grace of God, your family member will get through this season, and so will you. Blessings.✨

[@jaimep6865]

Your restless expression was priceless🤣🤣

[@ourfamilyvideos7283]

Ok,you should’ve started the day with Mr. Walter snuggle time😍...that was a lot on your plate for being exhausted...giving yourself grace is needed. Praying for the health of your family member and that answers will come.

[@heathert8895]

Great video

[@jamiediaz3223]

I had a TIA a few years ago in my late 20s. It was terrifying It came out of no where I was home alone with my small kids. And couldn’t speak but in my mind I was thinking clear but my body couldn’t get it out. My neurologist said it could have been caused by a complex migraine. Or could also be caused by low blood sugar. It was scary to this day I am scared of it. I have to have ultrasounds on my arteries nerve tests. It was scary but they told me that after it happens it’s hard to tell the cause. I have never had one since but it is scary.

[@mtngrace123]

I was listening to the read aloud revival podcast and she was saying her husband isn’t the principal. She said a principal is someone that is working all day in the school environment and a homeschool dad isn’t involved all day overseeing the homeschool like a principal in a school. Your husband has an actual job so he isn’t a principal. Read aloud revival lady said her husband is more like a janitor lol. She said he helps clean and hears about her homeschool.

[@ChasityMunn]

Oh my goodness. That’s scary. Thanks for putting the stroke symptoms out there for us. Could help save someone.

[@GraceandGrit]

exactly! Thats why i wanted to share!

[@Amy-nq3tv]

Have you ever done a video on the make up products that you use?

[@mandiemayhem937]

Hi, RN here. You absolutely did the right thing by making them go. It's good that everything checked out, but it is somewhat concerning that your loved one seemed to have a few back to back, and often (not always) TIAs are a precursor for an actual stroke, almost like a warning sign. Hopefully this isn't the case since all diagnostics checked out, but I would still urge your loved one to follow up with neurology or, at the very least, their primary to be safe

[@sarahc2726]

Love that the Principal is there today. 😉 Where can I get the cards that you have on the ring with character traits and Bible verse?
