Let's create something incredible!đĄ Be truly glad...there is wonderful joy ahead. ⥠1 Peter 1:6
As a fellow introvert I am inspired by the things you said about hosting and balance â€ïž Be a part of fun events but also making sure there are gaps in between for reflecting and collecting thoughts.
Yes yes you get it â€
I think the pandemic Made me an introvert.. I used to be super the opposite..but it just took me a Looong time to recover after hosting my babies first birthday (like took such a toll)đł
A good starting point for hosting could be doing something online. Doing a digital book club, tabletop games, quizâs mean you can do get the hang of organizing without having to do everything. Also digital event are super important for disabled people as it allows involvement without physical issues
Thank you for your sweet, honest comments, itâs important for women to remember we cannot do it all. I just started watching The Chosen this week and this has been a wonderful way to fill my TV time with a beautiful story and a great reminder of WHO brings us peace and joy. I highly recommend.
Happy 2 years of us all adoring Mr Palmer
Appreciate your honesty. Blessings to Palmer đâ€
PALMER đ is a love! Your videos make me smile. Ps. Will you be going to the Strawberry Festival in Plant City next month? I can totally see you doing a vlog about this fun Florida tradition. Happy Valentines! đ
I totally feel you on trying to celebrate joys and beauty while simultaneously feeling out of sorts! There are so many forces in the world that can send you into a funk, but faith is the sure foundation, love hearing you talk about it. â€ïž Sending a prayer your way!
You could have a decaf iced coffee in the afternoons đ€·đœââïž or maybe try iced matcha lattes? They do have caffeine however from experience they donât make me jittery, its a different kind of energy.
Love the gorgeous pink hue dress. Just perfect
I started watching you when I was on maternity leave mid 2021. As I sit here with my second baby on maternity leave once again, it really brings me full circle! Love watching your videos to brighten up my days, Allison! âïžđŒđ¶đŒđ€đ
THIS IS SO SPECIAL TO ME! Thank you for being here through it all, Amber â
Just what I needed this week! I hope yaâll had an amazing Valentineâs day, and a greta time celebrating Palmerâs birthday!
Thank you so much, friend đ
đRex.
Love Palmer! Such a sweet boy. Iâm the same way with coffee, I switched to decaf in the afternoon to not get jittery or anxious. â€
Our sweetie pie đ¶ & ahhh yes! I'm glad you've been seeing improvements â
Mondayâs devotion from NMM was just the sweetest!!! I know somebody already said it, but what you said about balancing time by yourself and time with others really made sense to me! I get so physically drained hanging out with people, but I need to remember that those relationships are a gift from God! I need to cherish those moments more and get out of my comfort zone!! Thanks as always, Allison!!
Hello sweet Allison! Thank you for this lovely video, I hope you had a beautiful Valentineâs Day with the people that you love the most đđ„° Iâm so grateful for following and being able to see you grow every single day! You make this world a better place đ Love you and wish you the best đ
Iâm so grateful for YOU, sweet Carla đđ you make the world brighter with your love. I hope you have a beautiful rest of the week đ
Absolutely the cutest valentines vlog I've seen đđđ
This is a little late, but you can try a decaf espresso tonic. You just make decaf espresso shots and then add tonic water (like san pelligrino). The sodium bicarbonate in the water decreases the acidity of the espresso making it taste smooth. Itâs zero calories and sugar free. My husband and I canât get enough of them. And itâs decaf, so no jitters. â€
Not sure if youâll ever see this, but instead of using paint on your candles, try using melted wax from another candle! I saw this on tik tok and it wasnât transparent, a little textured, and you donât have to worry about inhaling paint fumes if you light the candle. just a thought for next time if you wanted to try something different đ
Dearest Allisonđ Do take a long, relaxing break; we would much rather miss a week or two without new videos from you than you having to provide content even when you feel depleted!! We love you and we will be here when you are back fully rechargedâ
Highlight of the video is Palmer eating his cupcake đđ my heart melted!
Love your content so much!
I love the quote Candace Cameron Bure shared once, we can do it all just not all at once! Life is in seasons! I realized recently I canât do every healthy good habit for me every single day - thatâs a lot of pressure, stress, & burden and it makes it not fun! So I do a couple a day and mix it up throughout the week, that way I get all them in just not all at once!
I kind of feel like the word balance is different for everyone! To me itâs not 50/50 itâs like 10, 30, 40 etc! Different priorities daily can shift things and I just try to have my rhythms but stay flexible!
I hear what youâre saying about like just powers and principalities battling against us daily and like being around positive people helps, but all of this the Bible talks on and thatâs definitely where I look to gain perspective and wisdom in all this! I think the world has twisted and distorted the Bible to say what it wants, and so now Iâm careful to discern between new age concepts, and instead I love going back to the Bible and really rooting myself in Godâs Truth, which is the whole Truth as I navigate! đ€đŠđ·
I love thisâ€
I love all your videos!! theyâre so sweet and inspiring! Just a small video idea, I would love a âdeep clean with me videoâ I would love to see how you keep your house so beautiful and what products you use!! đ€
I like when you take the time to share a moment where you are raw and real. You donât have it all figured out. It shows your vulnerability and your pure and genuine heart. I would rather see more videos with those moments then anything else. Thank you for being real and relatable. Love your videos.
You are such a positive person. Love all your videos! I would live a link to the necklaces you wore in this video. Thank you! Also, I have a little terrier I rescued almost 3 years ago. He's cream colored. đ©·
hi Allison! I love the part where you talk about how you've been feeling out of balance because it's so relatable. something that has helped me is tracking the different phases of our cycle. usually, a week or two before my period begins (the luteal phase- aka the autumn phase) I tend to feel the way you do, introspective, a bit gloomy, maybe low moods. But knowing why it happens helps me be more mindful about what I need during this phase, and giving myself grace to feel those things. during my (ovulatory phase- aka summer) we feel so inspired, motivated , social, and those are the moments where I plan my social gatherings and get things done. but during those luteal phases, I allow myself to rest, journal, and reflect on the things I need to make peace with and let go of, kind of the way autumn releases the leaves on the trees. anyway, cycle tracking has been very helpful for me to understand my different moods/ energy levels. I hope this helps, or inspires you to check it out :) Pinterest has helpful charts if you type in ( menstrual cycles phases) sending lots of love!
Love this! So helpful!! Definitely accurate in my life too lol!
I personally love Dandy Blend alternative to coffee - it's on Amazon. I started drinking it while pregnant, and my husband and I still I have it all the time.
Eeeep okay I'm gonna give it a try đŒ
Another great one is Teccioni , herbal roasted caffeine free and it truly tastes so close to a cup of coffee!
Great vlog and love you keeping it real. I find that when I feel down, grumpy or out of sorts, I try to start with the basics to resolve it: a good night's sleep, eat reall good for a couple says and get outside in the sunshine and take relaxing walks. That usually does the trick. Hugs!
I believe what you said about people in ones life. A teacher in college said, if you surround yourself with good people good things will happen to you. I believe it đŻ
You do so much make sure you do take time to recharge!! Happy Birthday sweet Palmer!! â€ïžđŽđ
Your candles turned out super cute! Iâm going to totally do that to mine. â€
Thank you so much! Definitely a fun project đŻ
Happy Birthday beautiful Palmer! đđđ
Allison,
I hope that you had the most loveliest and happiest Valentine's Day with your beautiful little family and friends. You radiate unconditional pure love. You provide so much joy and sunshine. You paint smiles full of the brightest colors on many faces. Your endless joy for this gift of life will forever be so very contagious. I truly, deeply believe that you are an angel from heaven on earth with invisible wings. Your endless love and thankfulness for this gift of life will forever be so contagious. Please always remember how special, worthy and deeply loved you are. Thank you for the beautiful, magical, warm light you continue to shine. đŒâ€
You got Palmer on My birthday, Love!
I had a moment like this just the other day, so I sat and talked to my husband and we both concluded that I was making life just to busy and came up with some good strategies. Itâs important not to overload our days, make sure you make time to relax and have some quiet time for devotions or self care. I think we all feel like this from time to timeđ
The things you bake look so good! â€
This is such a sweet vlog filled with so many sweet memories for you đ„č Iâm so happy youâre surrounded by so much love! đ€
Thank you so much, beautiful Kourtney đ
Glad you shared vulnerably! Praying you find the peace and rest you need. The Bible is one the best things that refills my cup, and just spending time in prayer before the day starts!
"if that makes sense" is the new equivalence of "know what I mean"
Thank you for your vulnerability! I feel the same a lot of the time. Brings me comfort to see that Iâm not alone. đ
Aw sweet Palmer! Happy Gotcha Day, heâs so adorable!
This was such a cute vid!†btw Palmer is so adorable! He reminds me of our family dog đ„°
Thank you for this beautiful inspiration to live a beautiful life â€ïž
Love both of those pink dresses! I need to try painting candles. I've never thought of that.
Happy Valentine,Palmer Happy Birthday đ!!!!!!
Such a fun video! I just love your kind spirit â€
love watching the weekend in the life videos so much!!!!
Pink is my favorite color and when I see pink, it Just make me happy!! Do you feel the same?đââïžđ đ
This was the perfect, sweet video I needed to make this sunshine day even more sunny! Iâve been watching so many more of your videos recently and theyâve given me so much warmth, happiness, and inspiration! Thank you for the wonderful content đ
Happy Birthday Palmer!!â„ïžđ€đŸ
You have such cute creative ideas! đ„° Thank you for showing them.
I really needed this video after such a stressful day at work! All the pink in this video is so glorious and makes my heart so happy đ Female friendships are absolutely such a blessing âšI am so thankful for you xoxo
I LOVE VALENTINE'S DAY SO MUCH â€Such a loving day
Happy Birthday Palmer đ happy Valentineâs Day đ
Omg yesss Alive's Matcha Vanilla is my favorite!! Loveee youuu and always learning amazing hosting tips from your channel!!
The pink structured dress would be perfect with the retro shoes and pink bag. Very Legally Blonde if thatâs your vibe đ
Hello! I have a cool idea for a cooking challenge! There is a popular game "blind, deaf, mute" on CZcams and tiktok. The essence of the game is that three participants are taken, of which one cannot see (he is blindfolded), the second cannot hear (ear plugs and headphones are put on him), and the third cannot speak (usually his mouth is taped), and thatâs it. They must somehow cooperate and perform certain tasks.
Happy Valentines Day and BTW I love the Root Beer mushroom drink - one of my favs thanks to you ! â€
Hello Allison, hello Palmer, he's so sweet, looks like he enjoyed his cupcake. I enjoyed this video very much and hope you had a great Valentine's day.â€
Thanks for keeping it real đ

Your such a delight to watch. Thank you for sharing the banana bread recipe, looking forward to trying it! Palmer is such a sweetheart đ.

Hi Allison, such a nice video again. I love to watch how much you enjoy valentine's day =) Mine wasn't so nice, which is fine. I wanted to ask, if you could do a faith video again? I would love to know more about the church you go. =)

What a sweet & lovely vlog hope you have an amazing Valentine's Ali never change your beautiful personalityđ
I was so relieved beacuse I feel the same! I'm unmotivated and just generally in a bad mood. Thank you for sharing, and I hope it gets better for you toođ
Your such a beautiful soul. I'm always inspired when I watch your creative channel. Thanks for being a positive light in my life and lift many spirits. Blessings always beautiful.
You remind me of myself when I was your age....wanting to do all the things...but please never stop priotising rest, your health and self care. I did not and ended up burning out and having some major health problems. I did not listen to people telling me to rest more back then...and how I wish I had of đ
I feel like there is something in the air because I have been feeling in a mood this month as well. Especially that I am a full time student in college so it gets me more in a mood than usual. I sometimes try to give myself some free time, but it's hard to have that when I have homework and wedding planning in my head. Oh did I mention I'm getting married in July đ yea I have a lot on my head right now. I'm hanging in there though.
Love your videos Allison! and hope you had a wonderful Valentines day đ
Hi Allison, I can really relate to your "pillow talk"! I have never studied "energies " or other similar beliefs but it does feel like either the earth is off or I am! I am working on a major project right now that is taking me forever đ When it's done my life will be amazing but I just don't feel inspired. Thank you for sharing your thoughts; I will get up tomorrow and know I am not alone. Happy Birthday Palmer đŸđŸđđ
Thanks for sharing honestly how you're feeling. So often i look at youtubers and think their lives are perfect. God bless sweet girlđ©·đ€đ
Happy Valentineâs Day Allison! I enjoy your videos as you romanticize life not just for. Ale tineâs day but for all that you do!! Itâs how I like to live my life too! As a highly sensitive person could relate to needing a recharge after social events! Thank you also for speaking about taking a risk to host which in turn will manifest friendships. Needed to hear that as a very shy, anxious person who has been praying for meaningful friendships to come into my life.
Happy Birthday Palmer đâ€
I love â€ïž your blog you are so awesome đ happy valentines day to you and family

Thank you so much, Harry! & awh, how sweet is that! I bet it looks wonderful â€
I enjoy your videos but I often think how you feel with all the positive energy you always have so if your having a off day and low vibes just take it easy, donât always expect to be happy all the time or be the best just take the day off and enjoy.
Loved the video, as always!!! Xoxo đ«¶đ»đđ
What a lovely video â€â€â€â€â€â€

thank you for being transparent, feeling that same blah after a week of Galentine's, Guylentine's, Palentine's and yesterday's Valentine's.
stayed in bed a little longer today, to read, listen to worship and fueling my soul with vitamin G, God đđŒ
Vitamin G! I love that đđŒđ Thank you, always, Jenna :)
I cannot describe how much you motivate me! You have always been & will remain my favorite youtuberđ„° Allisonâs videos = A great source of inspiration, encouragement, productivity, good mood, everything đ I'm proud to say that I have never missed any of your videos!
Finally a new video for you đ„č𫶠thank you for your patience & for always being here even when I switch up the schedule đž You are sweetness, Maria đ
I had to give up coffee several years ago because of an ulcer, and my herbalist recommended an organic coffee alternative called Dandy Blend which has dandelion root. As a bonus itâs good for digestion.
Praying for youâ€ïž
Palmer is so sweet ! đ¶đ„° Travel takes it out of you, plus you are doing a lot! đ I hope you get back in balance soon. Love your videos! đ
