[@kerridrury4240]

lol I feel the same!! I was almost annoyed that I like them!!

[@gill426]

Aww you're lovely! I'm from Germany and I used to only occasionally watch your videos but now that you've been putting out so much, I'm really happy to watch them right anyway, looking forward to the next. I just love the energy that your family is radiating and it lifts me up. I enjoy the overflowing funny and child-like ways of Penn so much, I love how he's always buzzing and jumping around and making a fool of himself but with so much patience at the same time. I hope he can and you all can make it through this quarantine for a while still. :) God bless you all, you're a wonderful family and I wish you the best. Thank you for your videos! ♡☆

Gratitude journals are quite common. They are a good way to help put things in perspective.

[@JenniferRobinsonMAAS]

Thank you for being so REAL, and true, and honest! You make me feel like I'm losing my mind about as much as everyone else who's kinda normal right now (that made more sense before I read it back, but life isn't making sense lately). Anyway, thank you for giving me a place to laugh! I'm homeschooling our twin nine-year-olds and, while I cherished the time with them for the first two hours, I'm over it. I look forward to your new videos and appreciate every laugh!!

[@kirby1ist]

I am grateful for the Holderness channel :) I have been binge watching your vlogs and music all day. Thank you , be safe and be well.

[@karinheart]

I'm loving videos! And so going to do the gratitude journal to keep head in a good place thru this. Humor is so needed too so I just love the creative things you come up with

[@teddyrose1420]

Thank you for the laughter , and helping us to stay sane , during this strange and frighting time 😊❤

[@amydague]

You inspire family time here @ our house...because my son hears me laughing hysterically & comes to see if I've finally lost it. He then stays to watch with me! Great job! Thanks for the help, y'all!

[@doriheibult4803]

Thanks for always bringing a smile to my face, y’all are so relatable

[@graysonsteer]

I saw your video when you guys did a chopped episode, and my family is going to try it on Saturday! I’m exited so thanks for the idea! A great way to spend family time!

[@mishaanderson7690]

Haha pretty much. Watching your videos help with the isolation too. I live in a tiny trailer with my husband...there is no far far away bathroom 😜

[@XinaTheGM]

Yep, our dogs do the same thing! We're finishing up Week 3 here. Our favorite idea so far was making a comfortable patio area to eat lunch outdoors every day. Today's project is sidewalk chalk messages for joggers -- Baby Yoda with an arrow and "This is the way!"

Hi Holderness family! Oh. My. Gosh. You all are amazing. I am a mom of three. One is overseas (military). One is a freshman in college. And our third (surprise baby) is in the 4th grade. I have laughed so hard these past five days. Thank you for being real. And thank you for walking this road right alongside the rest of us. I look forward to watching more of your videos to help us get through this pandemic. 🙌🏻🙌🏻 ps, kids have been out for two weeks. I have only been home for a week. Was still working up until a week ago. I’m such an extrovert. And involved in so many things. 😬

[@serenapenner3581]

I didn't know there was a way to fold a fitted sheet! 😂😂😂

[@eviewesner]

Gratitude sure can change your perspective and change your life!! Over Christmas break I read the book by Nancy Lee DeMoss called Choosing Gratitude. Have you read any of her books? It was such a great book that I recommended it to my husband who had been having a really rough time at work. Next thing I know an Amazon package arrived that I did not know what it was. In it there were three journals. My husband knows I have plenty of those 😁 I asked him what they were for... that evening he gathered our boys and we started keeping gratitude journals as a family every night. It's really shifted our perspective and our lives I think life would be a lot more gloomy right now if we weren't keeping those journals. Thank you for your videos! It family enjoys them. Especially your older dad jokes video. Our 12 year old quotes it line by line 😛😃

[@hiskid817]

Have alot of books I could be reading that I want too read but my brains like nope too anxious too do that right now so I end up watching TV instead and that break from all the bad news and stress super important right now

[@denycast]

Maybe watch some Netflix instead. 😁 Or KZbin

[@serenapenner3581]

Yep I get it..I am an avid reader but now I begin a chapter and by the time I reach the end I can't recall what I read. Hard to concentrate on even I sentence and for any type of reading that makes it tough, but for fiction it is impossible to get into the feel of the story and care about the characters and plot.

[@kirby1ist]

What's News??? To relieve stress take a step back , live in the now and watch every Netflix movie you can :) Be Safe and Be Well

[@weirdorangeyankabetch]

1:44 that is exactly the correct way to fold a fitted sheet! It's the ONLY WAY!

[@kate2193]

This is soooooo true my family is the same way

[@janiuscomputers]

Hey Holderness Family! I found you by accident the other day, and I have to tell you that you were on my list of gratitudes yesterday. Thank you for making what we're all going through seem "normal". I live in Cairo, Egypt, and it's a challenge keeping our distance here, but at least the shops are full of TP.... (the Egyptians don't use TP!) Keep em coming! PS Papa Holderness, I love your songs.

[@sweetdreamzdreamcatchers8286]

OMG The fitted sheet!! I do the exact same "folding" technique, then slide it right in between 2 other blankets/sheets that DO actually fold nicely, lol!

[@RspbyLmn]

I'm exactly like that when I soend too much time looking at my husband. "Can I pluck your unibrow?" "Do you still have that nose and ear hair trimmer I gave you for Christmas? " "Can I get a pair of tweezers and pluck that thing out of your back?" "Hey babe, there's a new can of Lysol in there!" "Please don't leave that door open when you come out." "COURTESY FLUSH, SON! People are trying to breathe on the other side of that door. Turn on the fan!" (It's not easy house training boys and men.)

[@liannebenn2097]

I have hardly spoken to my partner in two weeks because he got annoyed when I wanted to cut hairs in the wrong place and instead of thanking me he started to criticise my imperfections. I can't see his eyes by now his eyebrows are so wild. On such small things we fall.

[@hannahmore9118]

Actually, we could run out of tp. Especially if made from wood. The largest wood company, grow trees and process the lumber, burned this summer. All their trees, the lumber stock that supplies a third of the country with wood for lumber, paper, furniture, etc. So...

[@vanessabayardo9788]

Well yeah, when people are working out, for example, doing dance routines or aerobics, you don't get in the way. I used to take aerobics classes and quite a number of ladies would arrive late, and start saying excuse me excuse me and touching my arm/ holding my arm because supposedly I was about to hit them, and they needed to sign in. Please don't touch me and either arrive on time or sign in at the end of class. I no longer attend those classes because that part was overwhelming.

Fitted sheets are super easy to fold you just grab it by the seams it’s easier with two people and you throw the excess fabric into the center and then you just fold it the way you would fold anything else like in half both ways!
