Yesterday was my birthday and all the kids were home. My one daughter and son in law live 6 hrs away. We were chatting at the table that this fall will be the first fall in 20 years I’m not sending someone off to school. No fall back to school photos. My heart clenched a bit. It’s all good but am I really this old?? Love your videos. ❤❤
Thank goodness… someone that is still hanging onto SUMMER!!
💐🌺🪻🌹🌸🌼
YAY….Crystal!!!
I LOVE…your videos!!
🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍
Thank you so much!
Oh Crystal, I remember watching your old videos when you would be folding clothes on your living room floor in your other house. How time flies!
You are so, so smart to prioritize protein! At almost 50 I'm really starting to realize I wish I had done so ten years earlier. I'm really inspired by your recipes!
For guest rooms-I like getting little baskets of travel size things that guests might of forgot to pack, also snacks, bottled water, Kleenex, extra soap, towels etc. 🌸
Crystal, you are very motivating. Love your idea of the coffee maker downstairs. It’s perfect for your guest so they don’t feel uncomfortable going upstairs into your kitchen, especially if people are still sleeping
It's good the kids get some fun days before school starts back. I would recommend a water-pic for anyone with braces. It helped me tremendously when I had braces. It gets to all the nooks and crannies.
I hate summer so much and cannot wait to see it go!
Thanks for not rushing fall decorations! Enjoy your channel very much.❤
School started today here in middle TN. I like the round pillow on the chair, it’s unexpected, and looks much better with the additional pillow as opposed to the throw! 😊
When my kids go back to school, it’s time to decorate for Fall! They go back this Wednesday.🍁🧡🍁🧡🍁
The guest room needs some wall art, I think.😊
Yes. Get the crescent piece for the chair. It would turn it into a lovely lounging spot in the sun❤
Love your videos and your sweet smile!
Thanks for the recipes! You probably live in a climate that doesn’t get too hot but here in TX, I am more than ready for fall!
You do more in a day than I can do in a week. You are the energizer bunny. Here in Atlanta, school started August 1st.
I love that you put the coffee maker downstairs, because that is definitely very convenient for guests!!!
We only use coffee beans and we have a local coffee roaster that I buy from. Haven’t used kcups in over 4 years now and do not miss them at all. Fresh ground each morning is a game changer. School starts back next Wednesday here in NC. But our summer is far far from being over, sure could do without the humidity though. 🥵
I like the chair as is. It's cute!
Can't wait for your fall decorating 😊
Thanks! I can't wait to get started! I feel pretty behind already...
So many you-tubers, not to mention all the stores, are already into fall decor...thank u, crystal, for still enjoying summer with the few of us that want to soak up every moment these last few weeks! 😂
I really like the green chair, goes so well with the painting above. It all ties in nicely .. what a cozy guest space!! Maybe a little basket of toiletries in the room & snack bars by the coffee but otherwise looks perfect!
Thanks for the recipes - both look amazing! Oh how I remember the days of getting new school supplies - so nice and pretty that I never wanted to actually use them - LOL! :-)
Yes, the ball is odd.😂
I like the white pillow better than the blanket too. I think the ball pillow adds unique interest.
School starts to early in the south, my son is a teacher in Georgia and they started August 1st and my granddaughter starts high school in Alabama on the 8th and it is so hot here. Looks like all of you had a beautiful day to enjoy the pool. I love that you are enjoying these last 2 weeks with your children before they start pack to school. The new chair looks great in the guest room and I don’t think you need the ottoman. I usually do a basket of travel accessories for my guest plus some small treats like gum or mints and maybe a couple of other treats such as crackers, cookies and candy. Looking forward to your video of the gym. 😊❤😊
Love the chair. So unique. I agree the extra piece might fill the space out a little more. Maybe pull it out from the wall a little more and add a floor lamp or tall plant. You have such a great eye for design. Love your beautiful home. 🙏😀
You're so motivating to watch, Crystal. I strive to have as much energy as you for my littles. You make such good memories for your children.
I’m definitely enjoying August because where I live it’s leaves falling off the trees in late September !! Ian from Canada just north of the US Border with Minnesota to the South an Hour drive to the Border . By November it’s like early Winter ! So Autumn is basically September & October . I’m Laura and enjoy your Videos ❤😊🎉🌺👍🏻🙌🏻
Hi crystal signing in on hubbys account i cant understand you using a tumble dryer here in the uk there is nothing better than hanging out your washing in the fresh air you have much nicer weather than us ? Really looking forward to your fall decorating enjoy the rest of the school holidays time goes sooo fast take care Paula
Everyone in america uses a tumble dryer lol😂
Crystal, you are such a wonderful Mom.....life and times just go by too fast....just keep sucking every wonderful moment of family life and times as you can!! You are doing GREAT! Love your channel so much! You're such a great example to the world! Oh and the new green chair looks perfect in the guest room!
Spending time walking around the Hinkle lake in West Virginia … and caring for my two boys which are my grandchildren three times a week ❤… Thank you for asking 😇
Yay! Another vlog!! Can’t wait to watch!
Once summer is over and the kids are back in school will your posting schedule go back to 2-days a week?
Your fall-Christmas videos are my favorite!! I’m not feeling fall this year because of life stuff but I really enjoyed your video.
Amazon sells 2 subject notebooks
Happy Monday! I love your videos. Great motivation. I'm ready to tackle my laundry now!!
I really love the green chair it really adds a pop of color❤, to sure I could eat the cottage cheese crust( hate cottage cheese). You should be very proud that you are maintaining your weight, working out and sticking to your recipes. I love your channel you make me feel like family ❤❤❤
The chair looks great with that picture on the wall above it and ties innthe green in the room with the plants. I think the ottoman would be cool!!
The house looks great,going to try that pizza.Have a great week.❤❤❤
your guest room is shaping up to a great place for company. I love that small chair. I think I'd try the outman. I'd like it better than a bench. love that lamp. I have a small lamp on my kitchen table that I turn on so that there is light in the room. I love the use of a lamp on the counter. A great choice.
I'm SO glad you got the coffee! My brother is a Coffee Roaster (Cove Creek Coffee Company) and I ordered some coffee for you & had it sent to your P.O. Box! So, so glad you love it! It really is the best! Oh, and I'm the sister from "Sister's Favorite" hahaha Love your videos & so thankful for you!
Thank u so much for sharing Crystal, I definitely need those recipes,looks healthy and delicious! Such a great video, yes summer is going by too quick, but I did get some fall items, for what I liked in the stores, ours are focused on back to school as well! Been too hot n humid here, so yes pool days are fun! Great video, enjoy the rest of your summer, thank u! 😊❤️🎁💕⭐️
Crystal, I think the house is coming together at great pace, being selective and thinking through how things will work.is smart. Yes it’s August wow! Cannot wait to try that pizza!!
Good busy day. The summer is speeding by.
Green chair works well. The picture behind it blends in..fun video Crystal.
Guest room looks great! Love the chair, perfect for sitting on to put on socks
Oh we're just doing a tropical storm today🙄
Thanks for the pizza crust recipe, will definitely give it a try once cooler temps arrive. It’s been a brutally hot & extremely humid summer here in NJ and always above 90. Cant wait for fall & using my oven again & being able to heat up the kitchen. Also looking forward to all the fall scents. Do love summer but when it’s not so unbearable. My gardening veggies are thriving on the brightside 😊
My gosh girl, you got a lot done that day. Wore me out just watching, lol. That pizza crust looks interesting and I would be willing to try it if I could sneak the making of it past my husband. Who is always here, lol. Maybe my mom and I will try it at her house! I can't believe summer is just about gone. Two of the 4 grands start school on Aug 12. It's breaking my heart because a lot of the summer was spent with all of us being sick. And not at the same time. I feel like I haven't spent any time with them. What was the little Lego creation Ethan was putting together? It looked so cute and I'm a 69 year old Lego freak, lol. Good video Crystal. xoxTXDeb
Love these DITL videos!
What a fun video, Crystal! 😊 This summer has really flown by, hard to believe it's already August. I love fall, so I'm looking forward to it (but not for what comes after! 😳😂) Your guest room is beautiful, and I love the green chair! I think the side thing would look nice, and I'm sure the boys will take over that round pillow! 😂 Charlie is such a sweet boy and so cute! The pizza looked good, and so did the dessert! 😊❤❤
Love the green chair. Awesome video 💚💚💚💚💚💚
Hi Crystal! I love the green chair...looks so nice in there with the green painting. I think a green knitted blanket on the bed would look good too. I don't mind the ball pillow especially if it's paired with another pillow. Yeah summer is speeding by. I'm working so that's what I have been doing the entire summer. I'm not necessarily thrilled about it but at least I have a little flexibility some days where I can get out for a few hours. Trying to do some "day" trips or more like afternoon trips when I can. Outdoor shopping, where I can get a little of being outside. You're right....in the Midwest we have had a lot of rain and feels like we haven't had much of a summer yet. I have been collecting some new Fall Decor and possibly this weekend I will go through some boxes or Fall florals. Just haven't been in the mood yet but I know the house won't decorate itself! I'm waiting on some Crystal motivation! LOL Take care, friend!
I’m sorry I thought this video today was about Crystal’s day in her life not commentary on whether to homeschool or not
Coming to you from East TN myself ❤
That chair is so cute!
Wow..I remember when I lived in NC pools closing..I live in Tampa now and our pools are open all year long…school starts here August 12…enjoy your day ..
Love the ball pillow
That chair in the guestroom looks really cool. I wouldn’t add on, but what I would put is maybe a little table or something there so that way if your company wants to sit in the chair, they have a place to put their cup of coffee or their glass of water while they wake up That’s great that you’re having some time to just play and have fun for the summer:) how does that pizza dough taste? It’s very interesting.tfs and God bless:)
The! Older you get the faster the faster the years go by!!! That pizza looks so delicious!!! Know wonder you are so tiny!!!
Great day! So glad that you are making the most of what is left of Summer! It's flying by! I need to make both the pizza and the dessert! They look delicious! I need to lose 15 pounds. I'm trying so hard. Thanks for sharing! ❤
I'm in full-on Fall mode, but I haven't started decorating yet! Going to the storage unit this Sunday to go through my decor--I have probably 6 or 7 BIG totes of just Fall! Anyway, I love the little chair! I don't think that space has enough room for the additional piece. I think it would make that corner too cluttered. I'm not sure I'd even put the bench in place? POV? I like the simplicity of the space as you currently have it.
Have i missed your video about your amazing weightloss and exercise regime? I just remember you saying in a video and creating one? Lovng your videos. Lots of Love from 🏴🇬🇧
Yes … I just had a salad for my dinner! Had to pick through it … cucumber … thrown away … Radishes -- good … last bit of shredded cheese and some walnuts! Quite yummy! Not a lot in it … but enough! lol 🙏🏻🙏🏻❤️❤️🇺🇸🇺🇸🫶🏻🫶🏻🌎💯💯🥗
Can you share where the artwork hanging above your new green chair is from? Thanks!
Keep the recipes coming! Love all the ideas. Can you please remind me of the sweet treat you make with the vanilla yogurt and pudding? You said it tastes like cheesecake. Love the chair and I think the ball pillow is a bit of whimsy!
Love the chair and I do think I would add the extra piece...
Hi Crystal, the green chair is cute! The ball pillow is kind of odd. It’s a really nice guest room. We are still having hot temperatures here, but the kids are either back in school or going back this week in my area! It’s just so early. It seems as though they should still be enjoying the pool or lake! This was a great video! The pizza looks great, by the way!
Bless you for having to go to 3 different schools. It’s going to be challenging. The kids here start August 8th. I love Fall decorating but not ready for Summer to be over. I love that green chair and I think it looks great just the way it is. Especially if you’re going to put a table at the windows. The pizza looks good and I know you are trying to get protein in, but I couldn’t eat it. I have a heart condition and can only have 1500 of sodium a day. 1 serving of that pizza is 1,535. The desert looked delicious.
Dear crystal I like the chair just as is.
hi Crystal
The Olipop Peaches and Cream is one of my favorites! The other good one is Crisp Apple 🙂
We started school today, so we've slowly had fall creeping in, but I still won't decorate fully until September ish.
Lol, I also pick through the lettuce. I would live if you shared the overnight oats recipe. Summer is going by way too quickly.
Hi Crystal, I like the green chair & Im definitely going to try the cottage cheese pizza crust.. I can’t believe it’s August either. It’s kinda sad to see summer end! TFS!❤love from Ohio
What was the snack that used the banana pudding mix? Did I miss it?
I was wondering as well, but the dessert with real banana looked awesome as well
Love Monday videos!! Pizza looks yummy!
I really like the chair! I think the ottoman goes on the right...recalling the diagram. I'd pull it out just 2 or 3 inches. I don't like furniture too close to wall. Furniture needs space to breathe!!!😅🎉❤
I am definitely trying to enjoy the rest of summer not ready for fall yet maybe in September I’ll be ready to early still though I have bought a few fall items but that’s it . Hope you all have a great safe school year ❤
I can’t wait to try these recipes❤
You are one busy lady! While you filmed this on the 1st I was taking my grandson back to TX after visiting for nearly 3 weeks…drove in heavy fog! I am going to try your pizza crust, seems like cottage cheese can do anything…really like your new chair, too 😊
Thanks for the yummy recipes❤️❤️
We live in Tn just moved into another home I'm beat. I'm like you I'm not rushing fall at all many you tubers are already decorating to each their on. It's hot I will decorate middle Sept or the end for fall .
Hi there! I love your videos, thank you for sharing them. 🥰
Def add the crescent ottoman and donate the round ball pillow. 😊
How are you able to use the dryer for all your clothes? In my experience according to the care labels 50% cannot be dried in the drier?!
Pizza looks delicious, im going to try it carnivore style!
Thanks for sharing your recipes! Could you share which app you use to track your food?
Eating my overnight oat before I move my body so I’ll sit down and enjoy your video
Ps is is the day I choose to do my weight but giving thanks I have a choice I don’t know just thought I share
Great video ❤
I haven't seen the Barbie Olipop. The Grape, Tropical Punch, Sweet Orange, and Ginger Ale are my favorite flavors. I think it's so much better than Poppi. Thank you for not doing fall decor yet. I always enjoy seeing you and your content...always wonderful! PS...love the green chair but not crazy about the ball pillow...ottoman might look nice!💖
Love your video's
I would put curtains on the window in the guest bedroom.
Ok the ball might go to the kids but the chair is cute!
❤❤these fluffy pancakes are a dutch "pancake" called poffertjes😅 delicious with powedered sugar and melted unsalted butter😊. Love your video's ❤❤❤
Me again! If you put a luggage rack in the guest bedroom, guests won’t put their suitcase on your clean bedding!! Suitcases can be dirty.
We start Aug 1 🥴. Summer is to short
I bought those cute little pancakes for my girls and they didn’t like them😢. I loved them!! The person who shouldn’t be eating them! Lol
Crystal the pizza looks yummy
Perfect start to my Monday morning.
❤ Better Homes and Gardens at Walmart ❤❤❤
Hello the pizza looks delicious! I am going to try it. What temperature do you cook it on? Thanks
Almost anymore I always have to pick thru bad lettuce bcz it just doesn't last very long and sometimes is already going bad in the bag I just bought. Frustrating for sure.
