I so enjoy thrift/second hand stores. You can find such gems sometimes. You hit the jackpot for your kids. Those clothes that you got your kids are adorable.😊

[@kellymaglione8674]

I really enjoy your videos and the beauty of simplicity you share. In a sea of marketing on the internet it is so refreshing. I know youtubers make money off of collaberations and I respect that but I feel like if you got to that point you would only to what you really loved and would still stick to your values of being minimal. It's nice to be influenced to not continually need so much and focus on what really matters. Thanks Elli!

[@thefruitofherhome]

Thank you so much! It really means a lot to hear that.🩷

I am enjoying your new way of doing voiceovers on your videos! I enjoyed your blog style too, but this is very calming! ❤

[@thefruitofherhome]

Thank you so much! I’m glad you’re enjoying the new voiceovers! 😊

[@janjentz1053]

I loved the quote that you read from C.S. Lewis. I have always felt so bad; when in a social group, someone asks a Woman what she does and some would answer; I am just a housewife; like they were embarrassed or felt inferior to others. I am a senior now, but was a stay at home Mom. I am happy to find youtubers like yourself that I love to follow who are homemakers. You found some great clothing for your kiddos.

[@thefruitofherhome]

Aw yes! I know exactly what you’re talking about! It’s wonderful to hear your perspective!☺️🩷

[@thefruitofherhome]

Yes, it’s my favorite! I love shopping there too! 😊 that’s exciting your getting one!!

[@laurencorley1621]

Beautiful video as always, Elli! You’re doing a great job with this new style of editing. Ivy’s new dresses are so cute! I just thrifted a similar white and pink floral one for Heidi for the spring.

[@thefruitofherhome]

Aw thanks so much! I’m glad you like the new editing style! It has been lots of fun!😍 And isn’t thrifting for little girls soo much fun?!😍

[@nattyznook]

Loved the beginning of this video and your message about Homemaking

[@thefruitofherhome]

Thank you! I am so glad you enjoyed it! 😊

[@heatherfitzgerald329]

Wow you got some great clothes for your kids at op shop ❤

[@thefruitofherhome]

Aw thanks! It’s definitely my favorite part of thrifting.

I’m 45 and I work a part time job for now. I have always loved being the homemaker of our home. This year my husband and I will be empty nesters. Both of our adult kids will be finding their way and purpose out in the world. It’s such a bittersweet time but I know God has them in His hands and will take care of them. I am looking forward to the next chapter for me as a full time homemaker one day when I get to love on our grand babies. Whenever that day comes, I will be ready. Thank you for your sharing.

[@thefruitofherhome]

I loved reading your comment. And that you took time out of your day to do that. I am so happy to hear that you are embracing this new chapter! And hearing about it! It sounds like a lovely season of life! 😊

[@juliehaydon8649]

Hi, Elli! I’m guessing your beautiful blue snowdrop mug is thrifted, but does it have markings on it to indicate where it is from? It’s so beautiful!

[@thefruitofherhome]

It was actually a mug I purchased in Colorado over the summer. I wish I had a link, it definitely is a favorite 😍

[@juliehaydon8649]

@@thefruitofherhome Thank you! I searched for it yesterday before I messaged you, but couldn't find it. Thankfully, I found it to today! It's a Danica Element mug. "Posy" is the specific design name. Just incase someone else asks. :) I'm so happy I found it!

[@PeacefulGirl-lf1ys]

I like the voiceover and your music.

[@thefruitofherhome]

Thank you!

[@debbielong8087]

Hard to believe it is time to go through what they need for spring. I always look at what Connor has and write down what he needs then start buying.

[@thefruitofherhome]

Yes, I know right?! It will be here before we know it!

[@kathylabanca6534]

What a beautiful message! I hope I can keep it in my heart and mind everyday ❤

[@thefruitofherhome]

I'm so glad you enjoyed it! 😊

[@saracockburn7468]

Loved this video ! Thanks for encouragement and I have never heard that CS Lewis quote before- thanks for sharing ❤

[@thefruitofherhome]

Thank you!! Yes, such a good quote!😍

[@tessab.2065]

You find the cutest clothing for your children! I love our wood heat. For the really cold temps, you might look into the Mr. Heater Buddy heaters. They are great.

[@thefruitofherhome]

Thanks! I’ll definitely look into it! We’ve been considering adding some more heating options.

[@lindasmith5190]

Breakfast looks good.

[@thefruitofherhome]

Thank you! It was a great way to start the day! 😊

[@JenniferObe]

Time to get Ivy her first American Girl doll! 🥰😉 I just got my daughter her first, her name is Willa and I found out that they made a doll named Willa (from a line they made called Wellie Wishers, they all have little rain boots, you would love it!) I’m not sure if it was more for her or me 😂

[@thefruitofherhome]

Yes!! I’m so excited to get her one!😍 I think I’m going to get her a Bitty Baby for her birthday! And that is so sweet you found one with your daughters name😍🤗🥹

[@JenniferObe]

@@thefruitofherhomeyay! The quality of their dolls is so worth the price. I love the historical ones (Kit, Samantha, Kirsten) but they don’t sell AG in Canada and shipping them here is a fortune, so for now I can only dream 🥰

[@Kimmy-rh1ry]

Great haul. So many good pieces. I wish I had a savers near me. Goodwill has gotten very expensive. I cannot even afford the prices there any longer. They are up to 15.00 to 20.00 for dresses, , 15.00 for sweaters, 10.00 for shirts, tops. I just limit the trip to one or two pieces each trip, no huge hauls any longer

[@thefruitofherhome]

It is so frustrating when thrift stores get more expensive! 😓

[@khadijamcdepena]

Hello from NJ🤗🤗🤗Thank you for the video 👏👏👏🤭🤭I learned to cut my husband’s hair during the pandemic, after a while I told him you should go back to your barber because how is he going to pay his bills?

[@thefruitofherhome]

Hello! Welcome to my channel! Learning to cut hair was such a great skill to learn! That’s awesome you cut your husband’s hair!
