Marie, your home (indoors and outdoors) are so pretty! I especially love the outdoors with all the trees, vegetation, flora, and space. I know you keep mentioning that it is a rental; but it is still home. Y'all have made it a home. That's most important whether you own it or are renting.🥰

[@rachelbolick]

Hey Friend, Happy Saturday. I love the weekly grocery haul and those Tyson chicken patties are amazing. I haven’t tried that waffle crunch cereal but it looks delicious. 😍 there is a house out there for you and your family through god’s timing. He has the perfect timing and he knows what house that would be perfect for you and your family and that house wasn’t it. 😊 I love getting my flowers at Walmart, they have the best selection. I enjoyed watching you work outside and getting your flowers planted. 😊🥰🦋

[@franceskey79]

Hosta's will outgrow the pots pretty quick but you can plant them in your flower garden, they will come back every year. I love your frog prince, he's so adorable!!!

[@MarieLoveAsbury]

Yes we will plant them in the garden once they get too big for the pots. It was just a fun craft for the kids. 😊

[@elliecobb2734]

Lovely, the frog is so cute.We now live in a rental apartment, after owning our home for 30 years, downsizing was necessary, as health issues became an issue. However our landlord has no problem with improvements, with understanding anything attached becomes part of the property. We feel if it makes us feel comfortable and more at home, expense (within reason), is well spent. We have a very small patio facing a common courtyard with 3 other tenants, all very nice. We have added planters of flowers, rug, and working on an awning, as we get full sun most of the day, I just got the most adorable solar elephant, with lights coming from her trunk, I just love her, we call her Ella, We have a lot of foot traffic, as we live across from a Jr. Sr. high school, and behind a bowling ally, bowling is a part of the gym program so we have kids going through all the time, there are walkways, and for the most part they stay on them.I rather enjoy them,. When I'm outside, they speak, and call me grandma.The previous renters added ceiling fans and storm doors, which we get to enjoy.There are pros and cons to owning and renting, this last three months I'm grateful we rent, as the hot water tank had to be replaced, the exhaust fan in the bathroom replaced, and both the washer and the dishwasher needed repairs, and the stove either needs repairs or replacement money we did not have to come up with. Everything has it;s season, When it;s right you will find your forever home.Jackson's bird calls made me smile, when our son was little he talked to every animal he saw, copying their sound.

[@MarieLoveAsbury]

He makes the funniest sounds copying birds and different noises haha 🤣 Yes we know that we will be responsive for everything once we are buying. Eric's mom and my dad both own their own homes. We are ready to call a home ours. ♡

[@jessa81040]

Sloppy joes are a great idea! Your living room looks so cozy now, I love it! You guys have done an awesome job on your yard! It looks so enjoyable for the summer as well 😀

[@MarieLoveAsbury]

Thanks so much! 😊

[@bethcallis8027]

Marie, I would paint the front porch landing and steps gray while leaving the railing white. This will help with keeping a clean look. I have done this to my front porch and it is a much cleaner look and adds some nice contrast.

[@MarieLoveAsbury]

We have already talked about doing that soon. 😊

[@wandabell2120]

Loving the frog! So glad you went back to get it. Everything looks so beautiful! You are such a Wonderful wife and mother. You and the family take care. Can't wait to see you all in the next one.

Thank you! You too!

[@Sarah-vl4rx]

I would love to see the video of you leveling the pool!

[@MarieLoveAsbury]

My husband did that with piece of 4ft wood, but I didn't film him doing so. He laid down the sand and scraped the sand with the wood. We have more of the process in the first video we did of the pool. I'll link that video here! kzbin.info/www/bejne/epyWXpilpMlkqM0si=WsYCDNXSJ9ZOg4mx

Porch is looking good with all the flowers Marie. The frog light is too cute! Landscaping around driveway looks good too.

I love the flowers and the frog 🐸 ❤ so cute. I'm working on my garden and porches to. Trying to make it more inviting so I'll get my self outside 😂

[@Donewithdirt]

Marie, try the Silk almond creamer. Less sugar and so good!!

[@MarieLoveAsbury]

I'll try it! Thank you.

[@pamelamontgomery5686]

Looks great 👍 👌 😊

[@Ann-cx3dd]

Hi, all is so cute! Just wanted to mention - - your Dahlias are beautiful! By the way, they are perennials ( meaning, they can come back next spring, if planted in the ground this spring/ summer ).... so, if you plant them in your garden soil, they will come back every year! : ). They are so pretty.....makes me want to go out & buy some myself!

[@callielightsey4433]

Suggestion place aluminum foil over banana stalk it keeps shelf time more active . Just saying. Doing a great job.

[@MarieLoveAsbury]

Good idea. Thanks for the tip. My kids usually will wat the pretty fast though, especially Jackson.

[@CarrieDCT]

❤

[@patriciaroush1686]

This is how I water my ferns use Epsom salt to water your ferns, first, fill a large bucket (I use a 5-gallon bucket) with water. Then, add two tablespoons of Epsom salt for every gallon of water and stir well. Make sure the Epsom salt is completely dissolved before watering your ferns. Dip fern into the bucket and push down easily until the fern is submerged. Then let it set until it quits bubbling then pull it out sit in huge shade until it drains then hang back up. Everything looks beautiful inside and outside your home.

[@waltaldape5384]

Hopefully your landlord will reimburse you somehow for all the great work you all are doing. Always look forward to your videos!

[@natasharay6555]

Right I said the same thing.

[@themillardfamily1749]

I’m with you girl I hated the sugar free coffee creamer! Coffee is my treat I get all to myself so I’m gonna make it however and with whatever I want and enjoy it! 😅

[@MarieLoveAsbury]

Yes, coffee is the first thing I like to enjoy in the mornings. 🌞

[@janetandrews9030]

Janet Andrews hello from Virginia: Marie loved your flower arrangements you put on your front porch they are so beautiful. Also, you know we used to rent for a long time, but we treated the property as if it was our own, I believe that God sees how you treat and take care of others property and blesses you with your own. Of course, with careful planning and budgeting you'll get there I'm so excited for you and your beautiful family. Also have you considered asking your current landlord to sell you the house you are currently renting, or do you prefer to just move into something else?

[@MarieLoveAsbury]

We would love to buy our home! It's something we have talked about but I'm not sure they would sell it.

[@Kimonwatersedge]

Would you not buy the house you live in now ? Love your vlogs thank you for sharing 🇬🇧🤓🌺

[@MarieLoveAsbury]

Yes but it's not for sale. It's a rental.

[@CherwD]

Marie from experience 1st let God lead you he will provide for you he has a time and place just be patient 😊. We all have started out at the bottom and it's hard to climb up that ladder when the economy is so horrible... don't worry things will change in this country and you will know God had a plan it's going to be like nothing you can imagine trust in God🙏💪🇺🇸 . You will get that home🏡 and there will be peace on this earth for a time.

[@MarieLoveAsbury]

Thank you so much for the positivity. 😊

[@barbaraengel594]

I see you have a motorcycle? Do you and hubby ever go riding?

[@MarieLoveAsbury]

It's his motorcycle he bought a few months ago to fix up. He plans to ride it to and from work sometimes.

[@MrsAlmaTrumble]

You have the ability to accomplish anything you set your heart, mind, and soul to. You are capable of more than you can imagine. Be fearless and confident, for God, your Heavenly Father, is always with you. Wishing you a happy Thursday! Have a Beautiful and Blessed day and weekend. See you next video. Stay safe and healthy. God Bless.

[@MarieLoveAsbury]

Amen sister. Happy Thursday! I hope you have a nice weekend. 😊

[@MrsAlmaTrumble]

@@MarieLoveAsbury thank you, friend. You too. Hard to believe that it's already Thursday.

[@rumildafrancke9215]

[@catrenia72]

I believe you will find your perfect home. My home was brand new but had never been sold in two years because no one knew it was for sale (they only listed it but didn’t put a for sale sign out). God worked it in my favor. I closed on my house a week before the pandemic hit. I choose to believe God held it for me until I was ready to purchase. Keep believing because He will do it. ❤

[@SusanEarhart-tv6cw]

Great grocery haul and great content! You’re a true blessing and I look forward to your videos.God bless you and your sweet family.

[@MarieLoveAsbury]

Thank you very much!

[@tracewalker8772]

Oh my gosh the frog is darling!! Your front yard and porch look so beautiful! I like how you are lining your driveway, good idea! 🐸 💕💕💕💕💕

[@deborahhuckaby4623]

I would have loved to have seen the look on the people's faces when they saw you had put up a barrier. Lol. Your flower garden is so pretty, and the frog is just cute. You guys have made that house into a beautiful home. One day, you and Eric will be homeowners.

[@TheForevermeg]

Finding your videos was like a homecoming. I grew up in North Georgia, now in Alaska!

[@MarieLoveAsbury]

Aw, I love it! I've never been to Alaska, but it looks beautiful there from what I've seen.

[@gbanksky]

Marie- I hesitate to mention this bc I don’t want to embarrass you! But I would want someone to tell me! Your flowers are pronounced “jur” raniums instead of “gur” even though they are spelled geraniums. Dahlia is pronounced “dal-ya” like pal or gal. Can you tell I’m a former teacher? LOL Your yard and porch are looking lovely. Love all your videos and never miss them! I just relate to your content so much!

[@MarieLoveAsbury]

Thank you!!!! This is all new to me and a learning experience. 😊 🌼 🌸

[@roxybennett3964]

You are just a bit rude. She’s a Southern Belle with a Southern accent…that’s all. She is not uneducated etc…You are worried for her bc you lack understanding in cultures. It’s not a bad thing to be Southern and with an accent. You been trained somehow is wrong…

[@youngflourishing4632]

I appreciate this comment because I needed it lol

[@gbanksky]

Actually I had no intention of being rude and would never call some one that! I also didn’t call her uneducated although it sounds as if you did. I too am a Southern Belle and Mama and perfectly understand the culture and the accent as I have one also and no one has been made fun of more than people in Ky. I LOVE watching Marie learn about gardening bc that’s how I learned and had people tell me when I was mispronouncing something or if there’s a way to do things. I also LOVE that you think as much

[@gbanksky]

Of her as I do and jumped to her defense (unnecessarily)

[@lifewithdelane7005]

Love what you are doing with the yard. Have you spoken with your landlord sometimes they will knock off on rent for updates that you do. If you want a screen door speak with them about it and see if you can work something out.

[@MarieLoveAsbury]

We haven't asked for discounts on rent. We would do so much more if we were buying the home vs renting.

[@CathyH-xd7xb]

Yes, Marie, God will always put you where you are meant to be. 🙏

[@tamekadavis9051]

Good morning and happy Thursday great groceries haul thanks for sharing your day

Good morning! Thanks for watching today!

[@kerribrissey9932]

Marie...I love the way you decorate. Your house and porch always look so pretty.

[@Julieryantiffany]

Watched while getting ready for the day! I love that frog prince!! And it’s normal for plants to lay flat for awhile after you repot them as they are kind of in shock. They will come back though!

[@beingtoreyjohnson8874]

God well lead your family to a lovely house

[@annettepuryear6755]

Love all the flowers! That frog is adorable. I love watching your chanel, you have so much variety in each video. Thank you for sharing, have a blessed day.

Good morning! I love that too Marie! I wish my kids would eat sloppy joes!

[@MarieLoveAsbury]

Girl my kids don't like the sloppy joe's much, lol. Bella and Nolan say they are okay and will eat half of one, but I'm not a big fan of them either. Eric is the one who likes them around here. 😆

[@ABookIsAGarden]

I love hiw the porch is looking! Very pretty with all the plants. Too bad the owner of your house wouldn't allow you all to buy it from him.

[@natlam26]

Your flowers look beautiful, and I love your frog prince!

[@MarieLoveAsbury]

He is so perfect for my garden. 😊

[@KathyKnapp-k2d]

Love the flower garden! You should talk to your landlord about having them put a screen door on. They may surprise you and say yes. I have been working outside getting things cleaned up from the winter. I usually wait to plant after Mother’s Day as it can still freeze/frost up here. Always enjoy your videos! Have a wonderful day!😊

[@thelifeofcourtney4500]

Omg that frog is super adorable

[@deborahhopper4832]

Love all the flowers and all the plans you have for your yard❤️😀👍I’ve always wanted to have a coffee table in my living room but aI have the same kind of couches as you. I was wondering if you have to move your coffee table every time you want to lay back in your reclining couch and love seat?

[@MarieLoveAsbury]

Oh no, the recliners come out to the coffee table so we don't have to move it. 😊

[@OceanPlantsLove]

everything turned out great! i love those railing planters!

[@denisereed3666]

Marie, It makes me happy to see you’ve posted a video. Love the flowers and everything you all are doing. So pretty. 🌸🌺 GOD will help you all to get your forever home. 🙏🏻🙌🏻

[@MarieLoveAsbury]

I post new videos every Monday and most Thursdays! 😊

[@lorisiedl8733]

Maybe you guys know someone that might have a big old Boulder that you can put in that one spot in your yard where they came up through because just putting that up there alone you might have somebody that's just not very nice and just come up right through there anyway and that will deter them and begonias love son so you can maybe put some of those on your back porch and I was also thinking you know right there that front porch is pretty white lattice will look pretty under the steps and really set off in your garden

[@ceciliaguerrero5266]

I really like that coffee but the unsweetened with the Zero Starbucks caramel creamer. I also like it with hot coffee. It doesn’t need any more sugar.

[@callielightsey4433]

I pray your landlord sees how yal have updated everythg. I know this home isn't big enough bc of storage no garage for addl help of storage. Would you stay if offered and yal purchase it. I hope your home is out there soon ok later

[@MarieLoveAsbury]

Oh yes, we have talked about many plans we would love to do to the home if it were ours, including building and adding a big family room/play room to the back of the house.. 😊 But I don't think the landlord would sell it.

[@OceanPlantsLove]

i went out and got me some railing planters! loved that idea!

[@ciarasmith9466]

Seriously in the same boat. We rent and i want to do the flower bed but don't want to pay for soil, mulch and flowers, if it's not permanent. Also wanting to get a home but the market is a joke! Especially in Northern Wisconsin 😅

[@MarieLoveAsbury]

I really wanted a flower garden, but I've never had one because no other landlord would allow it and I wanted to wait until we are buying, but it's taking so long. 😔

[@reneefahner3486]

Hey Marie 👋🏻 I haven’t had a vacation in forever . What is “ Whitewater “ you were taking about in this video ? 🥰

[@MarieLoveAsbury]

White water is a sixflags water park with big tube slides, lazy river and wave pool!

[@terrimcmillin9147]

Hi Marie! Love love love all the beautiful improvements you are making to your home and yard! I don't know if this is feasible or not, but maybe your landlords would be amenable to selling you the house through a lease to own situation. That way, you could add a bedroom and bath onto the house to enlarge it for your family. You've done so many good things to that house. It would be a shame to have to leave it. Just a thought. ❤

[@MarieLoveAsbury]

Oh yes, we have definitely been thinking about this.
