Your videos are beyond comforting. If you can think of activities that puts you at ease and reminds you of the joys of life, you’re videos would be on the list of “feel good” activities ❤

[@ALLISONBICKERSTAFF]

[@baileymorgan8944]

I love banana bread. I used to make it all the time

[@KHORTON03]

I read that book after you had mentioned it and I agree it was very cozy and an easy read. I actually read a few more of her books after, The Bookshop on the Shore and 500 Miles From You which are the "sequels" to Bookshop on the Corner

[@kate_700]

You are sunshine. I like the baked goods idea!

[@kendallannette]

I just adore you and you passion, and definitely your want and desire to learn and try new things. You e definitely inspired me… and my daughters as they will watch with me sometimes. So know we will refer to things and “like Allison”.

[@myhauntingromance]

The way you described the book is how I feel about Starless Sea and Night Circus by Erin Morgenstern. Ive read them both several times and I'm rereading Starless Sea right now. I want to live in the world described and there is always something new I pick up. They are my perfect comfort reads

[@ALLISONBICKERSTAFF]

Oh, I will have to check these out! Thank you for sharing 📖

[@mariamangion21]

Your youtube videos are always such high quality, feels like I’m watching a short film and I LOVE IT! I don’t know what we did to deserve you, but what I do know is how much I appreciate you! You feel like a true friend by how you share parts of your life 🥹 Thank you for being true to yourself 💕

You have to read ”The Little Beach Street Bakery” by Jenny Colgan! My favorite! 😍 Neal! ❤️

[@John-316URLOVED]

I just picked that book up, how funny! I recently read The Midnight Library and I'd say this review would fit that too; it's out and about among my friend group and everyone so far has enjoyed it. It has a good message and it's a super easy read.

[@marisolgurusquieta1164]

The way you look at him it’s so cute ❤

[@Toriii.Suarez]

[@gidgetgrlreading9603]

I love bees but allergic. So I'm glad there are no beekeepers near me. Have fun if you decide to do it. Love Jenny Colgan books! :)

[@Teeeeeln]

Love this music choice in the intro 🤗

I just tried keto coffee and it’s delicious. Wishing the weather was sunny and beautiful in Michigan. I’ll just soak it up in your video. 🌞

[@rebeccarichmond1443]

Dollar Tree has Sno-Caps and so much cheaper! Stock up and sneak them in.

[@NadiaPink]

Good morning Allison 💕🫶🏽💕

[@alyahussain9337]

I would recommend reading the seven sisters series for Lucinda Riley

[@roseannmaresca3209]

Love your channel Allison. I always look forward to sing your videos pop-up each week. Can you tell me where you got your recipe book?

[@readsandeats2263]

How interesting to want to be beekeepers, look forward to the up dates. So glad you enjoyed the book, it has had mixed reviews on BookTube.

[@ALLISONBICKERSTAFF]

🤭🌼🐝 yes I did notice mixed reviews! Something for everyone 📖

[@readsandeats2263]

@ALLISONBICKERSTAFF absolutely. I enjoyed the book

[@amberl6417]

Where is the lovely recipe binder from? I would love to buy one ❤

[@sunshinehaydeeify]

I loved loved your dress can you tell us where is it from!! I can agree with every one here your videos are vey unique! Inspiring thank you for the work you do to give us this kind of content!!! 🤗

[@tonebone09]

Your videos are always so relaxing ! ❤️ I loved the dress in the beginning where is it from?

[@issybirsinger4621]

Ok so every time I see Brandon on one of your videos he reminds me so much of my brother. So when my brother said he was going to get his haircut and I sent him one of the pics of you and Brandon on Instagram and told him he should get it cut like that. He loved it and ended up taking that picture to the barber's as a reference! So you can tell Brandon he inspired one of the bros 🤣💪 Just thought that was so great and wanted to share!

[@MelissaLundby-pb4dv]

You should read The Little Beach Street Bakery by Jenny Colgan. I've read it 3x and it's my favorite. Would love your review!

[@ALLISONBICKERSTAFF]

Oh, adding to the list! Sounds so delightful 📖🌊

[@leesawarshauer7928]

We have bees; just a heads up..they are fussy to keep. We have had bees for years; the honey is great. The disease and the loss of hives is not. There are flowers to plant that they love! Honey is so good for us. It does not react in the body like sugar does. Good luck!!

Hola hermosa me encanta ver estos videos y me gusta aprender algo nuevo cada día y de tu yo agarro ideas ovio que no tengo lo que tú pero mi casa es pequeña y trato de hacerla así como la tuya acogedora elegante bonita y pues esos postres que haces me hecantaria probarlos saludos y que tengas un lindo día 😊😊😊

[@ALLISONBICKERSTAFF]

I’m sure your home is beautiful & cozy 🌸 thank you so much for your kindness!

[@rebeccarendle3706]

Lovely vlog. Love bees. My son goes and helps a bee keeper at our city farm. My uncle was a bee keeper. He died (not from the bees) when my mum was pregnant with me... but our family lived off all the honey he collected for 40yrs!... barrels of it stored in the basement of his house. It never goes off! Ps. You need to buy a rubber bowl scraper to get out your eg cake mixes from your bowl.... the metal spoon scraping sounded 😬🙉😅. Different music to your normal style... but beautiful.

[@ALLISONBICKERSTAFF]

What a beautiful legacy 🍯 thank you for watching! 🌼

[@rebeccarendle3706]

@@ALLISONBICKERSTAFF thsnk you🤗. Yes it was. We found it hard when we were eating the last jar (about 10yrs ago). His bees made heather honey which is not easy to find.

[@estherchuang7691]

Love the dress! Could you link it for us? 😀

[@meettheruckers8792]

Your dresses are always so pretty.. where do you get them?

We did a DNA test and he is a super mutt! He has some Yorkie, pitbull, schnauzer, French bulldog & more 🤭

[@aprylnicollette9668]

@allison Hi! I think you are an absolute doll to watch! I’m 51 years old and have been watching your videos for many years now. I love baking and over the past few years you’ve baked this delicious looking banana loaf. Well…I had a few bananas that were about to go bad and today I decided to try your recipe (I screenshot your recipe) but I think I may have done something different. Are you willing to share your recipe with me? It’s currently in the oven but…it seemed a bit dense. Please help!! Thanks 🥮

[@karifeyen]
