Your dinner looks tasty! And I have had the Cozy Comfort throw on my mind for a week or so now. It was so nice to see your version and know that you enjoyed it. Thanks!

Thank you for sharing your story of how you met Dan! My very best friend went through a similar situation, her now husband of 23 years is 10 years younger than she is and they are still as happy as they were the day they married and are a PERFECT match!! Age is just a number!!

[@sweetskeinomineamanda2059]

Absolutely ☺️💕💕💕💕💕💕

[@rosemary6160]

Oh, Amanda, I had to stop and say thank you for sharing your " you & Dan" story ❤️. I so relate. Lost my first hubby too suddenly, many years ago. Our baby son was only 10 months old. 5 years later, I too was set-up to meet my BFF! Turns out it was fate. 38 yrs later n 2 more children & 2 step kids, life is good. It's amazing how we recover from such tragedies ❤️

[@sweetskeinomineamanda2059]

Oh my gosh thank you for sharing that!!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Hi Amanda! That chowder looked delicious on your previous vlog, are you able to share a recipe??

[@sweetskeinomineamanda2059]

hi!! I don't really follow anything for measurements etc ...but those would be the ingredients & steps and you can kind of make it how you want it to be...less creamy, more veggies - etc - hope that helps 🤔

[@jeannepien4565]

You spoke in your last Vlogmas about a Valentine's Day advent. I think you said it has 13 mini-skeins. How can I get more information and maybe order one. I live in the US. Thank you!

[@sweetskeinomineamanda2059]

I'm sorry - they sold out ...I'll be doing an Easter "bunny box" tho - if that interests you 😊

[@jeannepien4565]

@@sweetskeinomineamanda2059 How do I look at what you have to offer? Do you have a newsletter or website? There is not a link on your show notes. Thanks!

[@goose.on.the.loose.designs]

Sorry if you’ve mentioned before but what camera do you use? Looks so adorable lol. Love the content!

[@sweetskeinomineamanda2059]

Thank you! It’s an osmo!

We lost my dad suddenly in 2020 - Glad to see you have been able to move forward - I hope my mom can do the same sometime :)

[@sweetskeinomineamanda2059]

I hope she can as well xo

[@LochBriarKnits]

Haha - my husband is 7 years younger than me! It's the perfect age gap in my opinion. 🙂

I'm new here. I too am a widow (1998-sudden death). On the first anniversary, I took my daughter and step-daughter to Ireland because I didn't want to hang around the house. Besides, it was good to swap out memories of the awful day with happy ones for myself and his two girls. You'll really like Ireland. Please, just don't, don't try imitate their accent. I once went to London with large group, and they tried to imitate the British accents, and it was embarrassing and rude! I don't know, something comes over certain people when they travel. I stay quiet, am polite when I travel, not the all-to-standard ugly American.* Once in Vienna I was mistaken for a local. I wore black shoes, not trainers, and was wearing a cape over my winter coat. A smile is also helpful. The Irish are friendly, esp. in touristy areas. You're their bread 'n butter. The pubs are lovely on the outside, and more and more, smoke free on the inside. I just know that you'll have a "crack" of a time. Crack~having a good time. Not the drug. But be sure not to end up "leg-less" (drunk)! (I had an Irish son-in-law for a while and he taught me loads about his homeland.) Nice watching you, I hope that I haven't crossed some sort of line here, just trying to enlighten you, should you need it. *They really do exist. More's the pity. Oh, in the Spring, the Rhoddys are the size of lilac bushes! All the best, Madeline

[@sweetskeinomineamanda2059]

thank you for messaging!! I'm so sorry you've experienced loss as well ...the vacation was a good idea I'm sure 💗 we are so excited for Ireland - no big agenda....have fun & definitely visit lots of pubs 😉
