I'm a caregiver to my husband who has an ultra rare form of cancer which required a total amputation of his left leg, his hip, and 1/2 his pelvis. I also moved my elderly parents in to my home in March 2024. Mom passed a month later and I caregive for my father too. It's super stressful and just HARD. I can appreciate how hard it was for you.

I have to tell you that anyone, anyone, who has anything negative about all you were going thru at that time has never dealt with dialysis patients. And you didn't mention the sleepless nights staying up because they struggle to breath and then going to work with no sleep. And we would do it again in a heartbeat to have them back with us. In the old video I just see a very tired, overwhelmed lady trying her best to provide a safe space for her and her husband and a way to financially be able to spend more time with her ailing husband. I am so happy you were able to accomplish both. God bless you always!

Dear Stephanie, you owe no one anything. I’ve been here a long time with you and Timmy. Anyone who feels you were unappreciative can suck rocks. First, you got married, using an analogy, you thought you were going “to Spain on your honeymoon”, and almost from the beginning, you ended up in “Switzerland”, a place you neither ever thought you’d be, where you didn’t “speak the language of disability”, or that you’d packed clothes to wear there. Like all women, when life handed you lemons you made lemonade. You did the absolute best you could , once you realized how sick Timmy was, and with your families love and support you all saw him through his difficulties, and on into God’s loving arms. Timmy could not, nor would he ask for anything more. You are so blessed to have your family, that you’re from a great state, (although there are many others close by, just like it), and that you were young enough to be able to shoulder the burdens God placed on you. Walk with your head high, you’ve done everything possible for the man you love, and have welcomed someone new into your life, to continue on your journey with. God Bless, and continue choosing to be happy, it’s the only way to live. ❤️❤️❤️

I am a nurse, and caregiver is a hard life. You are wonderful person to have been willing to do all that you did for your husband. Your home is very beautiful! I like it better than some of the hundreds of thousands of dollars ones that I have seen. We bought a thousand dollar 1983 mobile home and put about 12 thousand dollars, and 18 months into fixing it. All of the floors had to be replaced in it. The outside siding was replaced, and a new roof too. My husband did it all. You dad and family helping you is wonderful. I hope you keep your home always, and treasure the precious memories of the blessings of your family helping you fix it up. God bless you sweetheart!

[@reginagomez9087]

I can so relate to your experience with remodeling your little home. I purchased a 12 x 60 1969 mobile home in 2016 with my two little girls. A newly single mother, I slowly started remodeling whenever I got my tax refund every year, I didn’t make much money being a caregiver. Sometimes my brother, sometimes one of my older sons would help out with fixing things up , all while dealing with a crackhead manager that lived right next door to me, an adult child with addiction and mental health issues, taking care of my aging mother who lived in a different county, but through all theses things and more I’ve made a pretty nice little home ❤

[@robinalexander8429]

I have watched your channel since before Timmy went to heaven, Thank you SO much for sharing this video. It is amazing what a lovely home you have.... People who commented that you sounded unappreciative or ungrateful and unhappy obviously have NEVER been a full time caregiver nor do they understand the sacrifice you made financially to be able to care for Timmy yet have a comfortable home to live in while doing it... I was a co caregiver to my mom in 2001 after she suffered a stroke which left her paralyzed on her right side. I was a pastors wife raising two teenage sons in a city 2 hours from my mom. My older brother and sisters both had full time jobs, so we worked out a plan for her care at home. I would have my husband bring me down on Sunday nights or early Monday mornings after the guys were taken to school, I would stay with her Mon0 Fri and my sister and brother tag teamed every other weekend. Stephanie, I won;t lie, here were times when I would go home on Friday nghts and sleep the entire 2 hour trip home, then be so exhausted I couldn;t sleep, There were times when I would just down at my home in the middle of the laundry room floor and bawl my eyes out... I would do it all over again in a heartbeat to have my mom still with us...As I said at the time I was a pastors wife, I was still at church on Sunday mornings and teaching a childrens Sunday school class, when I walked in late Sunday nights or Monday mornings my sister would tell me that mom seemed agitated or not at peace ( we were very fortunate in the fact that moms speech wasn't affected other than slowing down) but my sister would tell Mom I was back and she said "it was like you could just see her relax and breathe easy", I would go into the bedroom and she would grab my hand and say "talk to me", which was her code for pray.... I am the baby of my siblings my sister is 14 1/2 years older and my brother is 12 years older, and I was a rainbow baby so mom and I always had a very special bond... we also laughed a LOT!!! I know you now know that there are trolls on youtube that have nothing better to do with their days than to make rude, angry and hurtful comments to vloggers and it makes me sad that their lives are so miserably unhappy that they have to spread their poison to other innocent youtubers just to feel better about their lives.. Blessings to you, girl! ALSO, I AM AMAZED AT YOUR TRANSFORMATION HYSICALLY, I FORGOT HOW YOU LOOKED BEFORE YOUR WEIGHT LOSS JOURNEY, STILL BEAUTIFUL BUT WHAT A TRANSFORMATION!

It turned out beautifully, but the amount of work was staggering and there were definitely times I wondered if we made the right decision. This can surely cause episodes of depression…..after everything was done it was so satisfying to see and enjoy everything we had done. I am so proud of you!

Theres nothing at all wrong with a mobile home.

What else could a person ask for? Your home is lovely and you two have worked so hard. Be PROUD of such a lovely home 😊❤

[@LaLadybug2011]

#1 Rule in life-never let other people in your head, telling you negative things. You're doing great! Of course they form it like a question but they are doing it to be mean and make you second guess yourself. Don't even entertain these negative people. Ignore them. Personally, I think the answer to your problem door is rehang your door in a new 2x4 frame-It doesn't seem to be in a wooden frame. This will solve your problem with the trim. Hold off on the beadboard over there till you get the door situated. Trade photography work with a local carpenter. I'll bet they have kids or grandkids and would love some professional pictures! Your living room (everything I've seen today!) is gorgeous. It is NoT too cluttered or whatever word you used-it's perfect. You have a great eye and have done a great job with your different projects. If the washer dryer is bothering you-hang a black rod above it, get the little black rings that have a clip hanging down off the ring, take a king size flat sheet, white, and hang it up to hide the w/d and when you need access those hooks slide SO easy! If you find a sheet with a decorative hem or lace or whatever you like, you fold the top down 12" or whatever you can and then put your clips on the sheet-now you have a fancy ruffle at the top of your new curtain. 😊 I said king size but measure the width of that area and get a sheet that is wider than that so it has some natural pleats from the clips making it look and hang nicer.

[@merrydang8055]

I have to say you made it beautiful. Look you know how grateful you are don’t mind all the negativity. Look when I started watching your video I was crying because I know what you were going through with that trailer. I also bought an old trailer at first it was in good condition it’s an 1980 and I bought it in May 2006 and we are now in August 2024. I want to start off saying back in December of 1999 I lost my husband at the age of 43. I worked really hard to save money to buy something cheap where to save money from paying rent. After living there for 6 weeks the trailer burned, I was devastated. Then again I was renting . I had found a place near where I was already staying my daughter and the grandkids became homeless m, I don’t remember what happened but anyway I took them in knowing it was only supposed to be me there. If the landlord would come over for rent or whatever I would tell them go in the room and be quiet. Well someone reported me to him and then we were all on the street. So I had already started working on the fire trailer so we moved in there and worked on it at the same time. Then a couple years later my brother in law was selling his land and trailer which this is the 1980 one I said about earlier. I added on to it bcz of my daughter and the grandkids. I had to pay family and friends to do the job but they did a poor job. In 2-3 years the floors were bad the living room ceilings had split in the middle and the list goes on. Now’s there’s mold coming from everywhere. So then I want to say about 5 years ago after I was able to save more money to change a little at a time I still didn’t get a licensed contractor but people that said they had 20 plus years under there belt and some even showed pictures of there work supposedly for the floors, bathroom (the toilet had gone through the floor), kitchen and my roof that got messed up in a hurricane. Let me say again I was taken for about 12,000. The guy for the roof took 3500 and never came back, the other started the job and never came back. I know you are so grateful to your dad and family and friends for helping you. I don’t know what some of the people are saying when you have all what’s going on in your life that you did how did they expected you to look and act. It’s very very stressful to have a sick spouse, run him to appointments, working 2 jobs plus side jobs and still working in the home when able to. What are you a robot? Look you and the family did well in this home it’s beautiful. I’m still living with plain plywood floors, busted ceilings, hanging electric wires no kitchen. Ignore the negativity again and enjoy your home. God Bless You

[@barbstormo7030]

I was the sole caretaker for my dad in hospice at home for a year. It pushed me to my limits- the stress was like nothing I’ve ever went through before. You’ve been through it too, I could see that from those initial videos. But you went ahead and built yourself and your husband a beautiful life-it’s still beautiful now, just a little different than what you imagined. Your house looks great- you should be proud of yourself! Sending you love ❤

[@FaithfulFinds2024]

I love your home. It's beautiful. I have followed you for most of your journey. It's been fun watching you grow. God Bless u Stephanie.

[@LittleBlessedNest]

Thank you so much for being here! God bless you too.

You've come a long ways. I remember going thru this with you, but u made it by the grace and love of God.

I am amazed at all you have done! What a nice home. Using the individual appliances instead of a stove will save you money on electricity. Smart idea!!! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 so many people turn up their nose to mobile homes. We have a 1972 14 x 70 single wide we just built an entryway/mudroom plus a screen porch. New flooring and cabinetry went a long way and we combined two bedrooms into one then added 10” of that space to our bathroom so we could have a shower with a seat, linen closet and laundry all in the bathroom. We love it! My husband is a contractor. He said to install your door trim then butt the ceiling and floor trim up to it 😊 our upper trim was pretty skinny 1.5” (?) because our ceilings are about 7 feet. Caulking the trim at the ceiling really finishes it off nicely.

3 years already, I have been following you though all that rough times and better times .you are a wonderful person. Félicitations 🎉

[@robertdonolli3579]

I remember the beginning of the trailer. You did such beautiful work! Enjoy you life, the heck with the nay sayers!!! We love seeing you❤️

[@PattieVanC]

I don’t think your living room looks crowded at all. I think it looks warm & cozy. I believe it looks crowded to you simply because you had it arrange differently and with less furniture. It’s still beautiful. I’ve been around since right after y’all moved in the trailer.

[@LittleBlessedNest]

Thank you for being here!

[@Raggedy-Ann]

Your home is so beautiful just like you!❤

[@pamrauhuff2375]

Congratulations dear Stephanie, three years. Look how far you have come, you have done amazing. For the viewers that are critical of your journey remember they have not walked it. The current caregivers and those that have been in the past, we understand. It is exhausting in every way possible, your body aches, your heart and emotions are broken I used to say. Your home has been transformed from what was to what is by a diy at a time. Keep diying and go for the wallpaper, if you don't like it you can change it. It is your home and we get to watch you do all the work. Please yourself first, you live in your home not someone who tells you what to do!

[@DonnaHarper-lg9pw]

Stephanie, it is still just absolutely amazing to see the phenomenal transition of your home. Your sweet daddy put many jewels in his heavenly crown for sure. Plus what a wonderful family you have to come in& help you like they did. Such a blessing for sure. Look forward to seeing any redos you have lined up. I wish I knew how to fix the door trims. If any of your friends have a carpenter they know, I really think this what you’ll need to do. This was fun seeing all the changes, even though I’ve watched most of them. I just love your style. Love you sweet friend. Take care & see you soon. God bless. 😊❤😊🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

[@karenjackson594]

I just came across your page and decided to watch this current video, I am amazed at your renovations! I love all the decorating and little touches you have done to completely restore your home. I used to live in a single wide, very old trailer with my husband and we were dirt poor back then and had 9 kids between the 2 of us. Fast forward 30 years and life is so much better, thanks to the Lord, He is so faithful! I look forward to watching your older videos as well as the ones to come. I also follow "Fearfully Created". Have a lovely week! 😊

[@terrypierce693]

You could also use fabric dipped in starch and then up on the wall. It's easy to take down and doesn't hurt the walls. I love your home

[@ShellyHasse]

Beautiful renovation! My husband and I gutted one several years ago. Lots of work, but so fun hunting for good deals. I wanted to mention 2 things if I may, planking the ceiling would look absolutely amazing, make sure your ceiling/ roof can handle the extra weight. Wood is heavy , as you know. Also, one thing I learned recently...you had mentioned maybe needing a second air conditioner, we installed high CFM ceiling fans in our home. I didn't know there was a difference, but the air flow is so much better. Energy efficient and helps us in all seasons. We paid around $120 for ours at Home Depot. Worth every penny. Hope you don't mind me chiming in. Can't wait to watch your home evolve. ❤

[@caryncrancer6654]

I am glad to hear you are getting back in the groove of DIYs

[@mainerstoo]

Wow! What a transformation. Your home is so cozy. Those who have never been a caregiver have no idea how emotionally and physically draining it can be. You are blessed to have the support of your family.

[@LittleBlessedNest]

So true!

[@johnmelissaziech6207]

Thank goodness your dad had faith and the skills and you trusted your dad to create your lovely home. It helped you grow, too! Love that you have so much vision for your home, but be careful of putting darker surfaces on your ceiling. It tends to darken a room and make the ceilings look lower. Good luck in your projects!

[@sweetjesusbyfaith3988]

I love wallpaper can change a room looks completely. Your home has come a long way beautiful.

[@janiebirdthorn]

Hello girlfriend!!! As you may already know, I’ve been here since your very first video, and I’ve never missed a one! I can’t believe it’s been three years!! 😮 (then again, I feel like I’ve “known” you forever! I laughed out loud when you talked about how much you hated that back door….that was an understatement!😂😂😂 Your sweet home has come so far, and I know you have so many more plans! I sure am glad you started your channel, you’ve added so much joy to my life. ❤ love ya girlie!

[@coverturf9154]

Girl you have come a long way. Your trailer doesn't even look like the one you started with. It really looks great inside and out. I have been with you from day one and I know a lot of hard work has been done. Thank God for your wonderful family. I sue miss Timmy and I know he would be proud of you. Looking forward to future projects. I know they will be good also. Hang in there, it's all good.

[@annagia153]

I remember when you first got the mobile home and yes It was a very stressful time for you I’ve been a caregiver for my husband also that in its self is a very big undertaking. I’m amazed at all you have done it looks like a new home! You have gotten real savvy with the projects you have taken on since you first bought your home, Love the bead board. 🤩 Love your content!!

[@debbieriddle9429]

It's beautiful Stephanie. You and your family made it your home. I love it. I was a Caretaker for 6 years, No regrets at all, but I know you know. I have so much respect for you You take care of you, and enjoy your beautiful place. God Bless.

[@SBL1932]

You have come so far and done so much. It does my heart good every time I see a video. I admire you for the way you have handled things in your life. What an inspiration you are.

[@LittleBlessedNest]

@@LittleBlessedNest you are so very welcome 🤗

[@debbiefletcher4781]

Oh Stephanie you’ve come so far. I’ve watched from right after you moved into your home. To see the smile on your face and the joy in your heart to get back to renovating and working on your home, is such a blessing. Praying that the Lord keeps blessing you in huge ways and as always, I do so look forward to your next video. Good bless you sweet friend!

[@deeneedler327]

I understand totally about being a caregiver. My husband had Parkinson & dementia. I worked & got a sitter, but then I was diagnosed with non hodgkins lymphoma . For almost 3 years, I had to quit work, plus my treatments.... I would do it all again! Because of love!!❤

[@annagia153]

Wow weee. ..you have come a long way. You kept the faith and forged on. It's a beautiful home!❤

[@lisamarie6110]

I started watching you a little over two years ago, I thought you had been on here longer than 3 years. Watching the very beginning of your renovations on your home, so amazing what you have accomplished with all you had on your plate. You never know until you are in that same situation what you would do or have to do, but you have more courage than me to take on all you did back then with the condition of the mobile home, you should be very proud of yourself Stephanie. Your place is so pretty, I love the coziness of it, the calming colors just everything. All the upcoming things you want to do sound amazing I look forward to seeing all the transformations! And let us not forget the outside wow you really made that your own little oasis love that as well. Riley is so sweet I loved hearing him in the background, pups are crazy but the sweetest most loyal companions ever. Thank you for sharing!

[@carolannmarie2801]

Stephanie, your home is absolutely beautiful! I love the way you decorated!!! I could easily see myself living in a home like yours. God bless you for all you've been through. Your dad is a gem!!! Aren't dad's just awesome!!! 😊

[@RobinMeadows]

About your doors and not knowing what to do about it….normally your doors sit within a frame. The trim just butts up to it. To know what I am talking about, next time you go to Lowe’s look at a door that comes with the opening frame and you will see the difference. This may give you some idea of what you can do. Love all that you do!

[@carolebest2349]

I watched you from the beginning.I was very proud of you and your husband and the way you handled his illness. I really felt in doing the renovation and decorating you did, his life was happier than just sitting around. I am sure the interest you showed in his music made him feel better about himself. Your family was so great. Love to all and God Bless you in your future endeavors.

[@vickicone6355]

Stephanie, talk about a trash to treasure renovation your mobile home is that! You have done just marvelous changes to your home and everything looks so pretty and cozy. Love the loveseat in the center as it defines the livingroom from the kitchen space. All your future projects sound amazing. You have come a long way with your home and you should be proud of what you have accomplished thus far!! I started watching You Tube for the first time during Covid. Your channel kept coming up on my feed, but I always seemed to ignore it. But one day your thumb nail caught my attention so I clicked on Little Blessed Nest and have not stopped watching. I enjoy you so much Stephanie and have watched your channel grow and how you have grown as a person. You have endured alot in your young life, but the Lord is there with you every step of the journey. GOD Bless your week!

[@LittleBlessedNest]

Thank you, Vicki. Your comment is so kind and thoughtful. I appreciate all of your support for me and my channel. God bless you too, my friend.
