    I love that what you do allows you so much flexibility with your daughter. I feel like you can really raise her the way you want, pay attention to detail, and be there when she needs you. Traditional jobs are amazing but sometimes it’s hard on the kids. I just admire what you’ve built and how it’s created such a positive family environment.

    • @ladyindaroom
      @ladyindaroom Před 2 lety +10

      Your comment is everything! Traditional jobs are not so great for children. Especially, on a single mom who does not have as much support like Raven does. During pandemic, I finally realized how much I missed out on my children’s lives who are now 17 and 18. Working long hours at the traditional jobs doesn’t benefit kids at all.

    Hey Raven, have you ever considered feeding therapy? It is a great way to help find the most effective way to introduce someone to new foods. My niece was a picky eater and it was a struggle to get to try new foods. After some therapy sessions she slowly became more comfortable with trying new foods which allowed us to add different foods to her diet. Also as a behavioral therapist I learned a first then method that also helps. You could have her first take a small bite or just something even more subtle like kiss the food or lick it and then immediately give her something she loves like a fruit snack or anything highly preferred and a lot of verbal praise to reward her for just simply trying. You can apply this method to a multitude of different situations as well. Hopefully this helps you or someone else :)

    Tip for preventing indoor pipe cracking and bursting in the winter: when temperatures are below freezing in the winter wasteland that is Chicago, we keep all the faucets on a low low cold drip when they’re not in use. Like barely dripping at all. This keeps them from freezing and bursting because the water is constantly running through it (and running water, even on the cold setting, is inherently warmer than solid ice). And it works 💪🏾💪🏾

    So glad you are back! It's always good to take a break, and slow down for moment. I can't wait to see the finished pool, and your office. You are so right to be cautious when hiring people to help you. Your home is your personal space so not just anybody should be able have access to it. There are a lot of things for you to consider, and it only makes sense for you to be a little hesitant. The important thing is what feels right for you. I hope you find someone you trust and feel comfortable with because that is very important. I'm really looking forward to more of your vlogs with updates on this home, and for new homes in the future.

    You might be able to utilize those gold chairs in your back patio area. If you could find a way to weather proof them. You could give the patio a luxury vibe... add a small table for them to fit around, for when you want to eat outside. Especially once your pool is done, and the vibes are cozy and relaxing. You and Ziya might want to have breakfast outside during the spring summer. Or if you wanted to just a brunch for your mom and grandma..
