We get monsoons in August and September and a lot of wind-we are in a desert climate and get up to 120 degrees in the summer as well 🌸 Have you ever thought about hiring a tree company to come and remove your holly berry tree since it’s so messy and the leaves are sharp? 🌸 Love the decor ❤️🤍💙

[@robinwoods9961]

I love the way you decorated your house it's not to much but just enough to notice. I don't like overwhelming decor.

Hi Aricka, great video always look forward for your videos. I want to let you know I bought the rug at TJ Maxx. I was lucky because it was the last one. TFS ❤ New York 🥰

[@DorsettDoorstep]

Oh yay! I think it is the prettiest kitchen rug!

[@melodygarcia86]

[@kimpinnock6245]

Hi Arika, awesome vlog. Have a good weekend!

[@joycecook8876]

Your patriot decorations were one of my favorites when I first started watching your channel and they just keep getting better. I didn’t think it was possible! You are a gifted decorator! We need to show our patriotism more now than ever. God bless America! 🇺🇸 ❤🤍💙🇺🇸

[@debbietrekell4426]

hello,just an idea, had you thought of maybe just painting the back of some of those darling little houses red white and blue

[@caracampbell1715]

Hi, Arika, when I was learning to decorate my shelves, I found out that there are some easy to remember “rules”. You don’t want two things of the same color above each other. So if you have a white pitcher on the bottom shelf, you don’t want a white vase right above it. Put the white vase on the other end of the above shelf and then continue to crisscross similar items. That helps the eye to move smoothly across the shelves. I think it also makes it easier when you are first decorating to know right at first what things may not look right. But after all, we can certainly do what we want in our own homes so if it looks great to you, it’s fine with me. Love your homey channel!!❤

[@lorrainehoward2722]

Arika it all just looks so nice. It blends together so nicely I love the houses in the hutch. I change my things around a lot. Gives me a whole new look. I also move things from one room to another. It just give the house a whole different look to me. Your out side patio is gorgeous. You will enjoy that so much this summer. God bless all of you and I’ll see you in the next one.

[@amycrawford9726]

I love watching your videos I always feel like im visiting with a friend. The patio revamp looks great and yes we too got high winds rain here in Texas nock limbs down in our yard . I pray God's blessings and favor to you and your family. Cant wait to see the next one

[@elainedomalewski4954]

Love all the red,white, and blue.Your home looks great.😊❤

[@ginahernandez3219]

[@cherimosley2035]

I love all your red, white, and blue decor. Your house idea sounds amazing! Have a great week❤

[@joanlandry9701]

I have never seen 1/2 length spaghetti that would be convenient because I always break them. The place looks great ❤

[@prasnlrdsheilawalker5241]

[@celticjen14]

Same

[@nikkihudson6518]

What temp and how long for the baked spaghetti? I think I’m gonna make that. Thank you!

[@KatsLivnLarge]

[@catladylife]

I spent so much time Saturday and Sunday pressure washing the fence around the pool and then that storm came up and made such a mess out there. I didn't get the concrete patio area done around the pool yet. We are having serious problems with those spotted lanternflies. Have you seen those yet? I see a lot of local people here on Facebook groups talking about them and I didn't see any Saturday and then Sunday the fence around the pool was just coated with them. Asking because since we live in the same area. The trees have grown up so much around here even though I have spent a lot in the past getting them cut back. Need to have them cut back again. Unfortunately, my kitty that I told you about that's been real sick is going back to Virginia Tech and a couple of weeks. Likely going to have another MRI and possible surgery. So, not spending anything extra but really need these trees taken care of. I rarely miss one of your videos. I keep saying sooner or later we will run into each other at church! I always say Patrick up there.

[@rileybugs07]

I love how all the patriotic decor looks. Everything looks so cozy and inviting.

[@merryslifejourney196]

I love all the patriotic decaor ❤❤

[@tammywojcik9672]

Your home is always decorated so nicely. I did my patriotic decor before memorial day till after the 4th. I still have my birds and birdhouses up too. Still kinda like them. I guess birds are ok for the summer decor 🤷‍♀️Tfs

[@HeelerMomma13]

I love the way you decorate! Simple but so cute!❤️🤍💙

[@jenl.4051]

I always get so excited for summer decor! 🇺🇸 And I love the look of those wooden houses mixed in with your decor in the hutch. Adds a cozy vibe to your patriotic decorations. Happy Summer! ☀️😎

[@abl7115]

Hello Aricka it seems like yesterday I was watching you put out your red white and blue. TFS your home and family with us.God is Love

[@patriciaconiglio6717]

Love your red, white and blue decorating and the baked spaghetti looks delicious.

[@knowchrissiechavers7642]

Thank you for sharing another great video with us. God Bless. Sending love all the way from Alabama, Chrissie ♥️🙏

[@elaineelgie8569]

Arika, thank you for the free tv wallpaper link. I also need to apologize - l see that somehow l commented on your channel for a video l had watched prior to your's. I even has my glasses on 😂 All Things Missy is from Prince Edward Island! - Like you - down to earth & loves her family! Take care 😊 til next time.

[@marcelamagnolia1823]

Your decor looks beautiful Arika. Great job!

[@telswick48]

I always love your decorations. I need to get my decorations put out also. The music you used right at the first of your decorating in the kitchen reminded of the music for the old cartoon Hong Kong Phooey. I don’t know if you would remember that or not. 😊

[@danakapahu4105]

Your house is so cozy love all your decorations have a blessed night 🙏friend

[@darlenemullins]

💜👍💜👍💜👍💜

[@mindyjones5113]

I miss Christmas Tree shop too!

[@JeanneWalter]

Oh Arika, everything looks great! Does Clyde ever play with any of your decor or banners? We have a 3 year old cat who may as well be a toddler child, haha! She messes with everything 🤦‍♀️. We just had to say goodbye to our 16 year old cat last week. He was our first family pet. He had a favorite throw too. He would make biscuits on it. I miss him so much but know he’s no longer in pain. ♥️🌈🐾. Thanks for the inspiration! ♥️♥️ Take care!

[@DorsettDoorstep]

I'm so sorry you lost your fur baby. My sweet Claire was 16 when she passed too. Clyde doesn't really mess with decor, but he always loves to steal something when I pull out my decor bins. Usually a flower or string or something, and he'll take it all over the house. It's so cute!

[@amycrowe8243]

I use patriotic decor from Memorial Day weekend through Labor Day weekend. I love celebrating America too! 🇺🇲 You have the cutest garlands! And I love the idea of sticking the star sticks in your flower pots. I enjoy searching holiday/seasonal/weather scenescapes on YT. Stormy ones while reading are 🤌 Speaking of storms, I'm from IL and we had a tornado about 10 mins away and lots of damage. Glad you guys are ok. It's finally summertime!! ☀️

[@iamwhoiamd7056]

Excellent video.

[@katherineaustin2477]

[@terryruiz7417]

Everything looks lovely. Yep, summer has arrived!

[@ssing2490]

Hey Arika! Paint the little galvanized house "Red" and use it for Christmas or Valentines. ❤

[@deborahhuckaby4623]

Hi Arika. Has Paisley gotten to the age of pulling everything she can reach from the shelves? I do the free KZbin wallpapers from time to time. The hardest part for you is choosing from all that's available. Hope all of you have a great weekend.

[@lucybradshaw6154]

Love all the patriotic touches Arika. Looking forward to some more in your upcoming videos 🎆

[@janetshaffer687]

Love anything you do! love how you embrace everything ❤😊

[@judyavants7928]

Me too. I just put it up Memorial Day & then leave it up till Labor Day.
