I love your message of positivity! It’s been so hard for all of us. My hubby and daughter work in a nursing home that has cases, and it’s a daily stress for us. They have to be tested twice a week since the rate in our county is so high. Ok, sorry! I didn’t mean to go on about that. It is so important to stay positive, and do some of the things that bring us joy. I find being outside helps. Have a wonderful Thanksgiving! ~Dana

Thank you Linda!
I hope the best for your mom. My mom is 88, alone in her home at our island of origin here in Greece and I 'm not alowed to travel to go and see her. This whole situation is really depressing but on the other hand I also have a new grand daughter, 3 weeks old so we do have to look at the bright side of things and be thankful for the good that we have. Happy Holidays! Stay safe. ☃️🌲
Great vlog Karen, hope your mam is feeling much better, my thoughts and prayers are with her, it's so hard when you can't be with them.

Hi Karen, this has been a tough week for me professionally. I am a high school teacher, teaching remotely from home. I am starting to get caught up on yours and Lauren's vlogs. I had gotten kinda behind. I am thankful for your channel and always love you and Lauren's positivity. You both have such great hearts! I hope your Mom gets better soon! Love to you and Lauren, hope you both have wonderful and safe Thanksgivings❤
Thank you so much Karen for the beautiful birthday wishes. I was so surprised when my son showed me my birthday present. It was a video of you wishing me Happy Birthday. I couldn't believe that my son had taken the time to think about what would be an awesome birthday gift for me. You are so kind and thoughtful to respond to my son's request. I'm praying for your mother's recovery. I also had a very scary time with my brother who recently was in the hospital for 21 days. He is now at home recovering thanks to the prayers from family and friends. I will continue praying for your family thank you so much. Please take care!
Your mom is definitely in my prayers. So glad she’s in great spirits. 😘
Prayers for your mom.🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻 Glad she’s feeling better!

So glad you Mom is going to be okay! You and Lauren are my Ohio gals. Just love your channel! My husband took a position at the Pentagon and we will be moving after the Holidays.

Anyway, I’ll be glad to see your vlogs when we move. It just makes me feel like home. Ps... the photos of your grand babies in your beautiful office are absolutely precious!! They are beautiful!!
