April VLOGS Day 12: Who Am I

[@Spinning_laine]

I’m sure it’s too late but you could leave the leaves in your strawberries container. Or add straw! It’s good to have a bed of something for them to lay in so they aren’t laying in the dirt to rot and it helps keep the soil moist so you don’t have to water as often when it’s hot!

[@erikastanger7848]

I love that he casually just wanted to make a fire. 🤣 Such a boy thing.

[@HeatherStark-v6t]

Every boy mom was like, " yep that tracks" at that part LOL

[@kristinmcewen7012]

You really can’t kill hostas! Believe me, we have tried! We dig them out and whatever little piece we miss in the ground comes right back year after year! 😂 But it’s so satisfying to see everything pop back up after the long, cold winter! Spring is magical.

[@OldWorldHome]

It really is ✨

[@juanitahill4832]

Ahh Hillary I had to chuckle when Luke wanted to get cotton for a fire. Such a boy and then the gift of a rock. When my son, who is now 35, was about your little ones age he would bring me a flower. It was a dandelion..ha. cherish your babies, time passes much too fast. You have a lovely home and family. God bless you all.

[@OldWorldHome]

Thank you, God bless you and yours!

[@ladybugmom10]

I watched Margot’s tour last week. It’s stunning. Her channel popped up out of nowhere. Brief intermission to not start a fire..😂😂 that’s mom life for you.

[@darianrose2195]

Isn't it the best to see little plants you weren't sure of coming back? I planted hollyhocks and I believe bellflower that never flowered, but the leaves never fully died during winter and now they're growing so tall and each individual plant is sprouting flower buds. Transferred some peony bushes that withered. Then came up, last year, but never bloomed. Now I have shocks of pink and more to come. My friend even gave me a nearly dead mini lilac and I honestly didn't expect it to survive but she is doing so great and the leaves are bigger everytime I check it. I'm no gardener, either, but it's so cool to see them grow.

[@donnasymons176]

You and your family warms my heart!

[@lindaroyal8161]

Very disappointing the footage was lost of the thrifting finds. I really like seeing your treasures, you're so good at finding great pieces. You mentioned painting your kitchen cabinets, curious if you're changing the color? I really like your kitchen, everything about it. When I do my kitchen update I'm using yours as my inspiration.

[@donnawiseman9311]

Another wonderful day!! Ahh, I love it!!!

[@claudialeger3208]

That’s a great rock. My son also gifted me beautiful rocks that found their way into garden beds, as paper holders in the office and as mountains in my navity scenes. Sweet memories! And we also made cotton ball fires with drops of red and orange food coloring on the cotton balls. It always amazed me how with a little twisting and fluffing, a few sticks and a couple of rocks, they really looked like tiny campfires. Occupied those boys for hours!

[@donna8212]

Beautiful video Hilary. I’m the same way with my laundry. A little thing I do too is, before putting the clothes in the dryer, I shake them out. That helps preventing wrinkles as well ☺️🧺. Have a lovely day today!🕊️

[@OldWorldHome]

Yes definitely!

[@Lee_lee_27_7_27]

I really chuckled when he asked for cotton for a fire - glad you included that little clip.

[@arlenecoury9976]

Hilary, your videos are such a delight to watch, I actually use them as an incentive to get things done around the house. I tell myself " " Fix the bed FIRST, then you can reward yourself with Old World Home".! Now, my curiosity is is up. Hoping we can se your thrift store finds some how in future videos. YOu always find the coolest stuff!

[@joyceprice6749]

That rock Luke brought you was cute. My grandson brings me rocks. I think it's a guy thing. My husband brings me rocks that are pretty to look at. It's probably been going on since the stone age 😂 Thank you for sharing your day with us. God bless you all. ❤

[@OldWorldHome]

I bet it has! So cute, God bless you too!

[@donnarakitzis2719]

I just love to see the garden come back to life in the spring. Your son is so cute getting you a rock.

[@jennifermitchell1730]

Suggestion for the end of preschool fun activity this year: watch Leap Frog Letter Factory, which would be a great review of all the letter sounds. Throw those bananas in your Saturday morning pancake batter! Thank you for your videos. I have enjoyed watching them for years.

[@DH-qz2so]

Once a rock collector - always a rock collector! My son who is 27, STILL collects special rocks! There is an out of the way place here in B.C. called Fossil Beach... he goes with his 4x4, and goes there to collect rocks on the beach, that have fossils embedded in them...he has put bookcases in his bedroom at his house, to display them all! My dad also collected rocks...when he passed, I brought them here to my house, and put them in my fake river in our landscape!

[@jendyson6729]

yes, so true! I am a grandma (lifelong tomboy I guess) and I still collect rocks, fossils and any little bones I find outside. The rocks are in little piles around the house, lol. Oh gosh, I would love to go to fossil beach!

[@amyunderwood2340]

If your son ever gets that way, Petoskey, Michigan is full of rocks with fossils along the beach. They are called Petoskey stones. Happy rock hunting!

[@gracerajah8972]

Thank you for sharing your life with us. 😊

[@OldWorldHome]

Thank you for being here!

[@erikastanger7848]

Luke reminds me SO much of my little(he'll be 13 next month. 😭) guy when he was that age. Two big sisters, busy, loves his mommy, loves to work with his hands and help ... Treasure it all. ❤️

[@OldWorldHome]

It’s a precious stage for sure ✨

[@fredrose9285]

Sorry about the loss of the filming of thrift store finds! Maybe just go around the house, pointing out the items so you dont have to upset all that placement. Love your videos! Take care, Paige

[@PattiSavoth]

Hello I’ve been following your Vlogs since 2012 and have enjoyed them immensely. . I hope all is OK with you and just want to let you know that we miss your vlogs.

[@ameliaduberville9309]

Have a blessed weekend!!

[@OldWorldHome]

You too! ✨

[@nanynany3003]

It is so inspiring as usual .. Have a nice days ❤

[@lynnlange9874]

I so love seeing the kids and Finn...he will be the dog of their childhood, such memories! It looks like he loves those boys and fits right in. I know you were a bit skeptical, and they are extra work, but so worth it in the end. I always want to tackle a project after watching you..don't always succeed, but want to!!

[@ginahernandez3219]

I’m enjoying your April Vlog videos, Hilary ❤

As a fellow SAHM, I love seeing your videos...they remind me of all the little things I do all day and how they are important! God bless you!!❤ ps...would love to still see the gems you got thifting if you need to fill another video soon!😂

[@patsytag5703]

Hi Hillary sometimes I forget to remove my special clothing from the dryer so I keep a spray bottle of water in laundry room and so I spray 3 or 4 squirts of water on the clothing and run the dryer for about 10 minutes and hen remove them right away and presto no more wrinkles 😊

[@christined2495]

I’m so late today watching your video, the day got away from me… I literally just froze 6 bananas few minutes ago. Love hearing the kids in the background having fun….❤

[@Tgfcdlaa]

I love your new picture you have in the circle.

[@barbarapeterson8030]

HAPPY Thursday in April Hillary, family, and fur baby Finn Sweetheart. I absolutely LOVE THE LORD WE SERVE. Enjoy your weekend. STTB

[@tanyajohnston8262]

We have hosta’s all over our property in gardens. I don’t like gardening and hosta’s are very self sufficient. They come up every year and grow bigger and better every year. I have different kinds so different flowers on them. I am a Nana and I made a park on our property with a trampoline. Swings hanging from tall tree branches, a swing set, a glider swing, an above ground pool, bikes, a rope ladder and a climber and a sand box. They had lots of fun things to do outdoors. Keeps them busy 😊

[@OldWorldHome]

Yes I need more of that!

[@viralprimenetwork]

Loving your vlog! Can't wait to see what you come up with next! 😍

[@hannahnadraus9677]

On a little road trip with our family for Spring Break. The kids fell asleep and it is such a treat to watch your video❤️.

[@OldWorldHome]

Enjoy your trip!

[@FrannyNan]

God Bless you and your family Hilary. Loved every bit of your video! Have a nice rest of your day. 💛🦋💚

[@debraspringers2098]

Have a wonderful day Hillary! I have enjoyed your videos!

[@agnieszkashaded312]

Hi there, I also have been doing CBS. We just had a wrap up and I love this Bible study. I’ve never commented on your videos before but have been a subscriber for a while now. I’m thankful to have your channel in my life as you are such an inspiration to me. God bless!

[@OldWorldHome]

Thanks so much for being here!

[@candaceann710]

Can you tell me the Bible study @agnieszkashaded ?

[@Patricia-h8r3d]

Hostas are very hardy and forgiving. I also don’t have a green thumb, but I can always count on them to “be there for me”! 😁 Love your channel. Very inspiring! Thank you!

[@benitawicks2600]

The saga of the bananas. We have the same issue. One week they are all gone and everyone wishes we had more. The next week they are over ripening on the counter. I have a big bag of frozen pieces too. Maybe make some banana bread.

[@lisaremy4817]

Hi Hilary. Loving April vlogs. ❤

[@MikeyDonna]

So happy to see that you encourage your boys to be boys (building, climbing trees, pocket knives, rough housing outside, etc) so many boys are overprotected and their manliness is squelched. Yes, they are going to get hurt at times. Our future families need strong, protecting, courageous, confident husbands and fathers to be leaders in their families and our country.

[@sarahedgar8812]

I first discovered Margo Roth when you told us about her a while back. I also really enjoyed her house tour! Thank you for the heads up 😊

[@ahagler.]

I have the same issue with my bread… as soon as it starts mixing, keep and eye on it and if it appears it’s not blending well, add a little water until it starts to and it will turn out perfect!

[@carole3680]

Alternately, a ten minute tumble then hanging is a quick way to avoid wrinkles and the dryer time is short enough that waiting is usually filled with some other task nearby.

[@sherryruddell3588]

love your channel. Your boys are so creative and seem to love life! I'm trying to remember if it was you that ordered 12 bananas, and they sent 12 bunches??? So glad to see someone else has a few weeds in your garden.

[@PhilipDonna1982]

I’ve wanted to grow strawberries and blueberries and I might have to give it a try. Hostas are very easy to care for. They might need dividing in a few years but that’s a good thing because you can plant the divisions elsewhere in the yard or share them. I’ve let one go for far too long and it’s like digging into concrete to divide it.

[@patriciavelez1397]

I love your pillow that you put on your sofa ! Where did you buy it ? I think it has flowers .

[@amandatassone6470]

What's your favourite banana muffin recipe? Thank you ❤

[@stevenwilson1762]

Could you tell me where you got your shower curtain? Love the flowers. I wish I had your calmness in everything you do...Mrs.Steve

[@barbaramatarazzo4269]

Love your videos when I see your newest vlog pop up love 😊just made 2 loafs of banana bread one for coffee with friends and one for work😊

[@denisebutler-bowen6426]

Love your channel. I am really interested in your quiet time. How long is it? What is the expectation for children who are not napping?

[@mrs.r.1467]

Another thing you can make with the bananas is banana pancakes since your kids love pancakes so much. Have a blessed day! Arlene

[@athomewithandrea805]

Great day! Which recipe did you use for the banana bread/muffin/ all bananas?!

[@ericagoehring1089]

My favorite pens, too!!! They are literally perfect.

[@heartofchocolate9433]

Hostas are the cockroaches of plants if you ask me. 😂 You can’t kill them. Deer love eating them. I don’t put any repellent down because it’s bad for them & also I enjoy seeing them. Enjoy you strawberries. Always enjoy your videos. Love the cotton & rock 😂 Dan teaching his skills is awesome!! Have a blessed weekend. 😊🩷🙏🏼

[@magnoliapinevintageboutiqu872]

I'm interested in learning more and that ropes course! Also, will you share your bread recipe?

[@OldWorldHome]

Just search ninja rope course and you’ll see lots of cool ideas! The bread is 2 TBS each melted butter, olive oil, and honey (or sugar), 1 c warm water, 1 tsp salt, 3 cups bread flour (or 3 cups AP plus 3 tsp vital wheat gluten) 💛

[@terrischwenk9217]

I was able to watch Margo video. It was so good.

[@monicamontoya1578]

You reminded me of the bunch of over ripe bananas I have on the kitchen counter! Same deal in our home. Banana bread it is. 🍞 I Love your videos! ❤

Enjoy! 🍌

Would you mind sharing the shower curtain liner that you purchased? I currently have a plastic liner and washing it is such a pain!

Yes just linked it in the description box!

FYI...I soak my fabric ahower liner in Oxyclean...when wash❤

[@lindasmith5190]

Enjoyed.

[@Gramsofboys]

Watching your son and husband having some “manly time” reminds me of an organization that’s available to fathers and sons. It’s called Trail Life and it is a Christian based Boy Scout type group. My grandsons (6 & 8) along with my son in law are involved and they love it! I believe it’s countrywide. Thought I’d mention! Glad to see you made great use of your 12 bunches of 🍌 !! LOL.

[@tammyduff14]

I wash my bathroom liner with a little bleach ends up looking brand new.

Research netting or another deterrent to prevent the birds from getting your blueberries 🫐. They will pick them before you can if you aren’t careful 😊. Also, interested in the pen brand you like?
