Amen! I am So grateful I get to be at home. It truly is a privilege ❤ thank you Jesus

Hi Arika! Maybe Marion could screen in the gazebo? That would definitely stop those pesky squirrels. Just a thought 🙂 Happy belated birthday 🎉 The big "50". I am the big "55" LoL 🤣 Welcome to the 50's club! What you read brought tears to my eyes. I was blessed to have a home making Mom ❤️ I don't know how she did it all. There are 7 kids in my family + my Dad. She was absolutely amazing!! She also served the Lord 🙏 And she passed that down to all of us. My Mom, Dad & my oldest sister are with the Lord in Heaven & I can't wait to see them again! Our family chain will be linked again 🙂 Arika, you remind me of my Mom & myself so much! U are an amazing person ❤

I once had to write a report about what I wanted to do when I graduated and I wrote about being a homemaker-I got the paper back with a C, the teacher said he took it down to a C because I needed to aim higher

Happy birthday 🎁🎉 ❤❤❤

I love your home… you are so relatable and I love that you are not trying to buy all the latest stuff that we can’t take with us when we die but rather making your home a sanctuary of love and comfort. Way to go to raising all your children in your beautiful home.😊❤

Have a very blessed birthday 🎉

Family is such a blessing happy birthday hope you enjoy your birthday meal.😊

I’m the same way, love gloomy days, the gloomier the better..

HAPPY BIRTHDAY ARIKA🎉 WORDS OF ENCOURAGEMENT ARE WONDERFUL 😊

Amazon has a squirrel organic repellent spray. Looks like it has a mint smell. They must not like that smell.

I agree. Find the beauty in ordinary days. I’m retired now but I love to keep house and tend to my family. We recently moved and our new address makes me smile…Garden Drive. 😊

I've heard squirrels don't like mothballs...maybe sprinkle around patio/yard

Happy belated Birthday Jackson.. My daughter and I have birthdays this same week. My daughter turned 16 also, she is the same way, didn’t want a party , doesn’t like the attention, maybe it’s that age .. We live in NC and have never been to that zoo, we need to , it looks nice.. My oldest son is getting married in Oct and watching your videos gives me a new appreciation for his fiancés mother and the wedding planner .. Thank you for sharing ..

I would get new outdoor cushions when they’re on sale and store them in your shed for the winter.Happy birthday friend and may Jesus wrap his arms around you and give you strength for all you homemaking things.🥰

First off, Happy Birthday! I was fortunate enough to be a stay at home mom. Not every day was easy, but I wouldn’t trade it for the world. I have 4 beautiful grown kids. They made me so proud this past week. We live on a ranch and my husband who is 70 was badly injured from an ATV accident. They all have been taking turns helping me on the ranch. They all live in different states. God has blessed me immensely!

I really love you're doing it all to glory of God and the heartfelt talk. You do an excellent job keeping your home. First time finding your vids. 😊 God bless you.

Thank you for this encouragement Arika. Just beautiful 🌷

Bless your heart Arika, I cannot even imagine all the work involved planning a wedding 🦋

Happy Birthday 🎉🎉

Thanks for making me cry too! I work from home in a wonderful flexible job, and I wouldn't have it any other way! I love caring for my beloved family and am blessed beyond belief. May God continue to bless you on your birthday and always! ❤❤

Happy birthday Arica! Thank you fo😢r those words of encouragement. Always enjoy your videos. Have a Blessed day!😊

Im not only blessed to be a homemaker, but a homeschool homemaker-its not always easy, but its always worth it, especially with the war that is happening against our children in the public schools

Thank you for this message. I work full time from home and help my husband raise his two kids from his first marriage. It's hard and i don't always get my house clean like i want to. This gives me motivation. ❤

It was my dream as a little girl to be a mom and take care of my family. Sometimes life doesn't go the way you plan. I ended up being a single mom juggling two jobs and two children. Of course, my two children came first always. But I always to this day feel guilty about not being the full-time mom that I dreamed about. I'm not looking for pity (way past that now). I actually found comfort in the Lord... he had a plan for me, for us. It made me stronger and more independent. Homemaking was defined differently for me. I am grateful for that journey and am grateful for all I've done in my life and for all I have. What you read had a profound punch. Yes, it was very emotional for me as well. Your channel is one that I never miss. Thank you for being yourself. I can relate. Much love to you and your beautiful family ❤🙏❤️

Happy Birthday sweet lady!!!

What a beautiful, encouraging reading ❤ Happy 50th!!!

I live in Oklahoma but was visiting my brother in South Carolina when I met Mandy In The Making in the Walmart parking lot.

Hi. Just was wondering if you like the new washer with the agitator as opposed to the washer you had with no agitator. Thank you! PS: Love your videos.

And excellent video Erika. I want to praise God now. Thank you for reminding me sweetheart and the happiest birthday to you again.

Beautiful words that could not be truer my friend. I love God so much as well and I am so happy that He brought us all together.

Happiest of birthdays to you my sweet friend. I know ow what you mean about not wanting the attention on yourself. I am the same way.

Ivy is an evasive plant and it does take over everything and if not taken care of it ruins wooden fences. That is what I have found.

Enjoyed so much you speaking about God calling you as a homemaker. It was very touching. Thank you for sharing, and Happy birthday to you. My daughter will be 50 in September. When you mentioned you didn't want a big hoop la for your birthday, I thought about what you said about Jackson. 😊 Blessings always! 🙏 ❤️

Thank you so much for sharing today. I hope that year 50 is filled with blessings and lots of love. Also, my daughters and I planned and created many things for both of their weddings so I understand the time it takes. But it was worth every moment.

❤

Arica you are just amazing and happy birthday to you. We both have August birthdays!

Thank you so much for your kind words and your family ....I tiered up with your encouraging words I'm all about my family as well ❤

My daughter just got married July 6th...I totally understand!

Happy Birthday Arika! Thank you for the beautiful encouragement 🎉

Happy Birthday, Arika. God bless you and many more to come.

I got emotional listening to you share that encouragement. I feel like I was called to be a homemaker too. And I know how blessed I am. Thank you for sharing. Great video. ❤❤❤

Happy birthday Erika 🎂

❤

Happy birthday Arika🎉

Great video, as always. Happy Birthday! Apparently squirrels don't like the smell of peppermint so maybe you could try that as a deterrent?
