    I always watch your videos with my husband. He doesn't speak english as I do, so I end up being his translator. We're obessed with your contents and how welcoming you are! This channel is so precious to my husband and I. I feel like you became our 1st best series ever! Please, continue doing this incredible work you do!

    Can you put all the lighting etc in the guest room? Then all your clothes can go into the closet. Declutter the bedroom. So for my OCD I find it way more relaxing 😊

    I remember other Mothers of young children being amazed at how much I got done on renovations, but I think they were trying to imagine fitting it into their day beyond the housework they normally did. They would not have realised how thoroughly I abandoned all housework when I was in the middle of such all engrossing projects! (Hey, we ate!).

    I love your positive attitude in life, MaCenna! ❤ No one’s life is perfectly easy all the time, and everyone deals with heartache and challenges. Lately my life has been challenging in some pretty significant ways, and instead of just sitting there wondering if I will get though the next trial, I have spent more time enjoying all of my creative hobbies and passions. It has gotten
    me through some tough days. Life is meant to be enjoyed. Thank you for being a good example of this!! You have also inspired me to finally decorate after 6 years of living in my house! And I’m loving it!!

    My fav question was: How are you?.. I have watched you for a very long time. I’m in my 60s, and you have inspired me many times. I get excited on your accomplishments, your new learned abilities, and your DIY‘s. Love your mother, love Kinsley. Mostly I enjoy everything you’ve ever posted. I’m a oncology nurse I watch for your videos and get excited. My second excitement is Lone Fox a.k.a. Drew. Everything else I watch is either nurse related or craft related. So thank you,
    you take me away from a hard day. You are like a glass of wine after a rough day. Hugs.

    OK. Burrito rolling, fold the ends in first then roll. Keeps everything tucked in nicely. But as long as it has great flavor that’s all that matters. Love the Fox pillow case. It’s actually nice that it did not come with an insert. It’s easier to store and have different cases for your two pillows.

    To roll a burrito: ( I didn’t see any comments so I thought I’d share my way) I just roll up the bottom a bit and then roll the burrito from one side to the other. You can also roll the top and bottom first but I tend to leave the top open. :) I think but I’m not sure, but you can also heat your *tortilla but leave it soft, roll it, then Put it in the pan to crisp it up if you like it crispy!
    Edit* wrong word lol

    I have remodeled several homes, and all were different... an amalgamation of me and the house style and location.
    The funniest was my open plan house looking east over the prairie to a 4 story dorm at ETSU. All by itself, it turned into a New York loft! Cracked up visitors.
    This house on 5 acres at 7000 ft in the mountains of New Mexico has my usual mix from thrift stores, including a couple original Indian art pieces. I have 360 degree mountain views. I so wanted an old Adobe, but were not in my price range and not out of town.

    Concerning burrito folding - I would suggest before toasting the tortilla in this case, fill it with the filling (don't spread across the whole of the tortilla). First fold the sides perpendicular to the filling just a little bit and then roll one end of the tortilla over the filling and tuck it under the filling. Then toast the burrito in the fry pan for the toasted tortilla texture - do the seam first and that will also seal it shut.

I have both a spring/summer closet and fall/ winter closet. The weather gets to a point it can’t make up its mind what the temps will be. Except for summer it’s just Hot! 🤣

    Dishwashers use 5-9 times less water - even with a semi full load. Please use your dishwasher!

    I get so much positive vibes from you always... I feel connected with you even we're in different corners of the world. I had been through tough time related to my job & other stuff... I was feeling lost & a big failure even though I have alot of creative ideas in my mind. After watching you talking positive made me feel refreshed & energetic again. God bless you girl... Love you 💖
