If you share recipes decor stuff room make overs I don’t mind seasonal items winter summer spring fall are great I think holiday stuff is so commercialized Especially if you are minimizing stuff less clutter. I feel the more stuff we have the more stress one becomes ‘Less is more’ is a good moto and great way to look at life ❤ I love how you are decluttering and having less items everywhere it’s so intentional and purposeful ☺️

[@bonnieb8613]

Something about your videos always put me in the best mood. And then you made it so much better with your quote from Kyle, as Something didn't go my way today and I was feeling a bit stressed. Now I'm in the mindset that everything happens for a reason.Thank you so much Amanda, I do hope you and your family have the best weekend 💗 btw..love your recipes and I'm so gonna try that dessert. 😋

[@katieallen3927]

I know it's fall when I make wild rice soup. Will be giving the sausage soup a try.

[@maryanncissell5347]

Love today's video. You are a great Mom and homemaker.

[@brendaiwanski8217]

I shared your Fall homemaking video. I love the idea for using your crockpot for a simmer pot. I did one today, but want to tweak the ingredients so I get the smell a bit stronger. I had the cinnamon & cloves and probably need to get some fresher ones!

[@lifewithimperfections]

I said the same thing this morning when talking to my boyfriend. I couldn't believe it was almost October. I have no idea where this year went, but it needs to slow down! My grandma said to me when I was young that the as you get older the time goes faster and the years fly by. And she is so right!

[@nancysalmon3333]

A fresh from the orchard peach is my favorite. Also, in a not so great situation, find something to be thankful for. I learned this after my son passed away. It's amazing how this can help.

[@joyceheaton2406]

I have that same mind set I have always said that when things are at its lowest or Things don't work out, it just means that something really good is Getting ready to happen? That's the mindset that I keep.

[@Natas-Ja]

Some video ideas I always like to watch: - night routine the Fall and Winter edition - morning routine the Fall and Winter edition - prep for Christmas

[@Megan_Ashley]

Almost 31 weeks pregnant with 2 littles at home already, also a full time shift worker (nurse).. So needless to say, we’ve been eating more poorly than usual with just the Hectic state of our current life. But this was so inspiring to get back on track!! Great video ❤

[@melodyreuck8385]

One thing that helps me not wallow in sadness is going for a walk with my husband and kids, the leaves are changing colors here so it's really beautiful too

[@ThisCrazyLife]

Love that tip! 🥰

[@heatherbarbrow7959]

So I watched this video right before bed…and now I’m starving! These recipes looked amazing! And you made them seem so easy!

[@gordanachumkoff3380]

Having a clean home is just the best! So when I saw your video; I said let's go and get cleaning too!!

[@SephoraBelle]

Always amazed at how much Americans love Hallow'een which came from Ireland, although we call it Oiche Samhain. Plus Oiche Samhain wasn't about scary or spooky celebration but a night when the veil between worlds is thin and we would thank our ancestors for a bountiful harvest to get us through the wintery dark months ahead.

[@JustDiana-24]

“Good” I feel that we go through trials to come out being able to have insight and experience to help others.❤

[@conniejensen1573]

Thanks for all the great recipes and motor action for cleaning and being organized.

[@DFBurgermeister]

I’m so glad you’re doing 2 videos per week now. I really look forward to them.

[@beverlyhasse8151]

My perspective about the "bad" things or unexpected things happening in life, is not only that we learn from them but we are then able to help others who may experience the same thing. We have a great opportunity to relate our experience to others. Also, I have learned that I cannot control everything in life. God has a plan, He is in control and I accept that. ( my personal belief) I appreciate your willingness to share life and your being teachable. Love your You Tube broadcasts.

[@ThisCrazyLife]

Thank you, Beverly!!

[@joyceheaton2406]

I always love seeing you do room makeovers. Also I had shared with one of the other KZbin's that I watch a lot that I would love to see you do a video on things that you find tried and True hacks that were sent to You by your viewers. That you still implement in your daily

[@tinal.1917]

Thise glasses are so pretty! They will be fun to drink out of im sure. I should try a meal prep day like this. It looks like fun to do and makes it so hamdy during the week!

[@thatnerdygirl.karina]

Yesss, the year is finishing so fast, can’t believe it’s October in the next few days. Every time I watch your cooking videos they always makes me super hungry 🤣

[@ShopAtSpicywedding]

I am here for another relaxing video!!

[@ireneromero5326]

I've been watching you for at least two years now and I always look forward to seeing more ☺️ ❤. Love the recipes and they look delicious 😋

[@bettysullivan260]

Some of my greatest disappointments have turned to good. Still, it can be a tough time and hard lessons to learn. Sometimes, I must tell myself to WAIT and see what better plan God has for me!

[@elizabethronces1377]

You are so right about how "bad things " can actually be your greatest blessing. Sometimes we can't see past the problem, or what we think should be the solution and want to rush to fix it. There's a lot of learning and growing in the waiting.

[@PaulaAntonio-w1m]

Thanks Amanda for another great video, love when you do all the food prep. You’re very organized!

[@Esh486]

Love it when you share recipes and meal prep, so much motivation! I'm getting hungry watching all the yummy food :)

[@laurasposato8366]

Love the idea of the crockpot. You are amazing with all you do.

[@tammylucier7444]

Oh my! I am all over this sweet potato banana foster! Besides helping me clean and organize I have been eating better too. Thanks Amanda 😊

[@loriaganon9844]

Everything looks & sounds delicious. I also make up a veggie salad in the fridge. It's so easy to pull out & eat when limited on time. I also make a similar sausage soup, that my mom used to make, that has green beans in it instead of cabbage. Have a blessed weekend.

[@Lyriclee814]

These are always my favorite type of videos from you. Thank you for sharing 😊

[@patricial3803]

Yeah! Cleaning and cooking video my favourites 😊 Like a song I love, Thank God For Un answered Prayers 🥰

[@geraldineotto7779]

Love those glasses 😍. Always so satisfying when you do mealpreps 😊

[@monnamaldonado8165]

I love the recipes you share. You use such wholesome food!

[@kacoa532]

That cabbage soup looks amazing, that’s the one on the top of my list. Thanks

I always love your meal prep videos. Such yummy recipes! I saved this video to come back to for yummy ideas.

[@loripretti843]

Oh my goodness!!! All of those recipes look Absolutely Wonderful!!! I will definitely be trying them all!!! Thank you for sharing them with us!!! God Bless Us All!!!

[@dorothyodenthal128]

I love all your videos. My favorite is your organization videos. I learn so much when I see how you do things. Thanks for another great video. 😊

[@jacquelinewest514]

Thank you. Good. I really like that. Too often I find myself wallowing getting sucked down that black hole. This resonates for me too. I’m really going to make an effort to use this. I’d love to see: laundry on a budget, your room on a budget and door to the guest room!!! I know these are the only areas left to do and honestly can’t wait to see them. 😁 No 1 fan 🇦🇺

[@laninguyen777]

Great idea Amanda! I will use my mini crockpot as a simmer pot for a fresh fall scent in my home. Much safer and to have a peace of mind. Making life easier. Happy fall y’all!

[@kaseyfarmer8232]

10 am and there you are!! I was going to just hang around the house today... thanks for the motivation to do at least something,,

[@ishamahapatro977]

Hi Amanda as you I have always been loving your videos and following ur channel since last 6years.. I had some ideas of new cleaning videos, just check if, anything can be implemented: 1- time bound cleaning- where u can set timer and display in the video and show us how much total time it took to clean whole home 2- flashback cleaning- in this video u can use old products or methods of cleaning and also show utah cleaning as a flashback side by side 3-Children cleaning video- where ur 3 children can make a cleaning video which will inspire all moms how much children learn from us 😍😍

[@lynnetteward5063]

Love sheet meal recipes! Great video

[@3gmom408]

The best salad that I ever had was various veg mixed with grapes that was cut to half. It made the salad tasted so good !

[@SharonHayduk]

Your sheet pan dinner looks absolutely delicious! ❤

[@rondapendegrist1979]

I have a small crock pot that I've had for years, I use it for dips and sauces. Now I have a new use for it...thanks for the tip. Thank you for all the motivation and Ideas you gives us all. It's greatly appreciated!

[@kathy1726]

Those recipes look delicious! Thanks for sharing! I’m going to get a small crock pot for making my own simmering pot. Have a great day😊

[@justmendeegarcia4190]

Omg that is such a good idea with the crockpot simmer pot. I always forget mine on the stove also. Ty for the tip.

[@Redbird1989]

I like watching the decorating. The simplicity of just watching you doing a big job. The way you prep your fruit. I rinse my grapes and put them in a colander on the counter. Meal prepping I don’t know how to cook gives me some goods and fails. Thanks for the Amazon clothes and the easy thing, but wait then there is Temu. I should probably stop there. Love watching

[@franceskey79]

What a great idea for a simmer pot!!! What can you use besides cinnamon, anything with cinnamon makes me sneeze. Yes, I feel this year has flown by too!! I love getting new meal ideas!!!

[@barbkelzenberg2394]

I would love to see videos about redoing the garage, the laundry room, and the pool area. 🌺

[@conniehalaberda1583]

Oh, I'm going to have to try that sweet potato banana foster....looks SO YUMMY. Sheet pan meals are winners for me too so thats a for sure try recipe❤ Thanks for sharing your recipes with us!

[@katieallen3927]

I have a small crockpot that I use at Thanksgiving to keep gravy warm for the big meal. I've never thought of using it as an aromatherapy tool.

[@jeannethbayle2716]

Oh my goodness, the house must smell amazing & inviting. All the scents of hearty comfort fall food. I am totally in for the sausage & cabbage soup. Thank you for sharing.

[@TaniaCowling]

I look forward to all your videos but this one hit home. I love watching food and meal prep. Will look up the recipes on your website to copy. I need some easy comfort meals as I've been fighting a flu type virus this past week. Seems like when the kids go back to school the buggies emerge. Can't wait until your next vlog.😊

[@elaineparker6986]

Oooo thanks for sharing your recipes, my sister in law loves your recipes too. Thanks Amanda.

[@MariaSoares-yd2hf]

Great idea using the crockpot as a simmer.

[@glendawalker3056]

Love the crock pot/simmer pot. Definitely gonna try it. 😊

[@mimithemagnificent]

Relaxing clean w me with relaxing music

[@leleedaniels2413]

I can’t believe this year is almost over. Banana Foster Sweet Potato sounds so delicious. I’ve never heard of it but I will be trying!

[@samanthacampbell2490]

What a great idea with the crackpot I do the same forget the pot is on the stove

[@courtneyrush1071]

I am definitely hungry now after seeing these recipes!

[@oceanmistdream1]

It was Jocko Willink who talked about the “Good” mindset when something goes wrong. He’s very motivational, I’ve read all his books and even one of his kids books. Really recommend his stuff.

[@mclyle7986]

So excited to try new recipes. Thanks for sharing yours💖 You have such a calm and soothing voice, it’s such a joy to watch your videos. Thanks for all the ideas. Blessings to you💖

[@debmike9958]

I love the recipes . I have an apple crisp in the oven while watching you. Thanks for the hints for homemaking❤❤❤

[@ConservativeVeteran]

I like that thought of saying "good" when something bad happens. I saw another saying recently: Bad day or just a bad five minutes? Makes me stop and think that the majority of the day is wonderful. I wish you would do your recipes on 'shorts' so I could pull them up easily. You make the best looking dinners!!! Always make me hungry!

[@ThisCrazyLife]

I was just thinking I’d like to share more recipes as shorts! 💗💗💗

[@angelikaluczinski9287]

I love your recipe ideas! Trying to find more recipes for my crock pot especially around this time of year 🍂

[@raeannlaitres-wilson4794]

Love the simmer pot in a mini crock. Great idea!

[@chrissierendleman7350]

Going to have to watch for a small crock pot! I’m with you I forget my simmer pots on the stove constantly 😳🙄! And your recipes are a must!!

[@whitneypeak754]

The after dark cleans please! I'm a night owl and I like cleaning along with you :)

[@janellerodriguez6667]

Never thought about using a small slow cooker for a simmer pot! I could leave it on at home while I go to work and come home to an amazing smelling home! Love it! ❤

[@jessicapatton9197]

Yay! I was super excited to see the notification of yet another of your amazing videos! I, too, give myself a to-do list that sometimes leaves me feeling like I've failed in not completing all the things at the end of the day, lol. It's difficult to put into the right words how much I appreciate your content and how you've helped me stay motivated as our families homemaker and primary caregiver mommy. The burnout is very real, and without stumbling into your videos about 5 years ago (being a silent viewer for a long time), I am sure that without the motivation you provide, I'd be even more of a mess 😂. Anyway, lol, I also agree that there's no choosing a favorite recipe from the ones you've prepared 😍🤌 they are all perfection! Thank you, as always, and much love to you and your family 🤗

[@brendaiwanski8217]

Love the glasses you got! Also, I have a small crock pot, some cinnamon sticks & apples. I will be doing a simmer pot too -after watching the rest of your video of course! 😃 This year has gone by pretty quickly and we are looking forward to the holidays! Last year 2 days before Christmas I had to take my husband to the hospital. He had long Covid and spent, Christmas, New Years, Valentines, & Easter as well as our 50th anniversary in the hospital-basically 4 months. We are blessed though that he survived & although still impacted we are together! God is good & we are so thankful!

[@judywelker2345]

Love, love, love this video and I cannot wait to try these recipes! They all look so good! Thank you for another amazing video!

[@donnafields2001]

I need to check out that planner. Thanks!

[@janetfarmer9130]

All the fall cooking is super cozy, the crockpot must make it even more fun!

[@martyhighley8717]

I love to do food prep so that when I am cooking a meal I don't have to stop and cut stuff up when I'm in the thick of it.

[@pauleengould998]

The mini slow cooker would be awesome for melted chocolate

[@mindyrice7652]

Love the simmer pot idea!

[@judymcdowell7924]

Amanda I agree with i.e does go by so fast. It seems like this year just got started and we're almost at the end.

[@dianahannagan3104]

These recipes look so good especially the sweet potato and banana.

[@debjones1028]

Great video. I can’t wait to try all of these recipes. I’ve been looking for some new ones. The banana sweet potatoes look wonderful.

[@Leglag724]

That banana foster sweet potato looks and sounds delicious.

[@amandaplayton1440]

My favorite fruit is mango and other tropical fruit because as a kid I live in Durban in South Africa. We could just pick them from the trees on our property.

[@ThisCrazyLife]

Omgsh how neat!!

[@ivankaparis9473]

There’s nothing like a nice clean home Love to see your videos 😊

[@BB17171]

I can't wait to try your sausage and cabbage recipe. It looks yummy!

[@jamiepratt9295]

I love the new glasses, they are so pretty! It is so nice to have everything prepped for the week...it makes life easier and makes for a less stressful and happier life. The banana foster sweet potato looks yummy!

[@hillarywhaley4326]

Thanks for all the yummy, healthy food prep and recipes!

[@christinatm]

Litehouse freeze dried herbs and Costco organic chicken stock has changed my soup (and all cooking) game for the better 😊 thank you for the reminder to prep some ghee.

[@debfelton6745]

Yumm!! Wish we could smell all those recipes through our phones!!

[@ThisCrazyLife]

Haha I wish you could too!

[@ditzy6014]

Oh my! I had to screenshot all of those recipes. I don’t know which one to make first. I’m definitely trying the sweet potato banana foster in the next day or so. I’m glad I’m not the only one who underestimates when it comes to dishing up leftovers. Thank you so much for all of the content & motivation you have in your videos.

[@gracevanderhart6356]

Watching this definitely made me hungry. All of the recipes looked delicious. I’m going to have to try some of them. Thank you for all your time and effort you put into sharing your day-to-day life with us!!

I appreciate your channel and wish you every blessing. I wish I had been like you when I was young.
