Thankyou so much for this motivation karrie hope u have a blessed day , may i ask what body lotion are u using in your body and specially the one that helps with your keratosis pilaris i was struggling with it too thankyou very much
Agree. Live within your means, my daughter in-law works in Lawyers office, they see so many lose everything when someone loses a spouse, due from over extending themselves , even with death benefits they still can't handle high house payments etc. Best to live on one income, even if both are working, put the extra money aside, don't use it, so you can still make it if the worst happens....
Beautiful job ❤ love your videos. You work so hard. I've told you this so many times.
Did your son say are we fishing for squirrels 😂😂😂😂😂
Have a great day
Ms. Karrie Lynn, I know you have a sense of humor about it but I found it to be so offensive that someone would have the audacity to use the an analogy of you cleaning your home to polishing a turd. Your home is absolutely beautiful and it's the type of home that so many wish for. You may not be offering the enemy a seat at your table but that doesn't keep them from showing up with their own folding lawn chair! Keep doing what you're doing - - you're in inspiration!
So well put and I couldn't agree more.
This is exactly what I wanted to say. You did it much better and nicer than I ever could have. Well said!
I totally agree
Kerri the first hanging pots you had were prettier than the ones you got . 😊you said the first ones were not pet friendly but you hung them up high so how could they harm your pets? Just wondering. 😊your porch is beautiful
I came here to say the same thing. Your home is beautiful, not a turd. Some people...
I think you and your husband are being financially smart
You are wise beyond your years. I am 60 and have just figured out the last few years that I should not worry about what others think on what we have. You are right, it is just stuff and it can not come with us. I strive to make my home welcoming and homey. When someone tells me that they feel at home in my house, it is the biggest compliment. I love your home.
I don’t recall your age but you have such a fantastic outlook on your home/family/debt for such a young person!
I'm 31 ❣️
I love your home and don't let negativity ruin your light. Whenever I have a bad day you and your wonderful family make me smile. I love your house and your outlook on life.❤❤
Karrie, your house and everything you have done so far is an inspiration to me. Don’t pay attention to the naysayers. After looking for a while in this crazy housing market we have also decided to stay put. Our home has everything we need so we’re just going to update a little over time and debt-free.
smart
Don't pay attention to mean petty people. Your home, family & channel are all awesome. The fact that you're so down to earth & are reaching your goals in YOUR time is so inspiring. Keep up the great work!
Karrie I LOVE your explanation of why you are choosing to stay in your current home 🩷 Such a WISE choice for you and your family!!! The world needs more real influencers like you. You are setting your family up so well. You’re teaching your kids such a valuable lesson about money too! I love watching you take care of the home that God provided for your family 🩷 Take care!!
Preach it, Karrie! Living within your means and not getting sucked into buying bigger isn’t the answer to happiness. Your house is beautiful and I can’t wait to see the changes you talked about come into fruition when the time comes. 😊
Do not let rude obnoxious comments take up real estate in your head....Your home is beautiful.......elegantly cozy and homey...you are real and you videos are great!!!!
You are very wise! We followed the same finançial game plan you described. We married at 19 years old. We lived within our means & saved money. We retired at 55 years old & still living on our savings & investments 23 years later. God is good & His principles work. All praise goes to God!
Your home is SO lovely! I hope you never move. It’s a huge reason why you’re so relatable!
I totally agree- the bigger the house the more expensive it is to do up keep
Agreed! Theres a few other people on CZcams that I stopped watching because they keep moving to these huge homes and they spend all this money. Thats so not relatable especially in this economy.
This video is exactly why I love your channel! Minimising debt and gradually improving your house when you have the money to do so means you have less mortgage stress, can take time off work when you need to, take little family trips, treat yourself every now and then, in short, you can LIVE and not just work to pay off a house you can barely afford. Keep doing you and ignore silly comments. Me and my husband lived with an old kitchen for 10 years, then renovated everything and did an extension. It served our family nicely and we turned a great profit when we sold it 2 years ago and bought our forever home. You can’t compare to friends or strangers online, nobody knows how people really live behind closed doors. My husband has seen seemingly wealthy friends at work not be able to pay for a coffee.
Your house is beautiful already and I can’t wait to see the addition ❤️
Thank you for the reminder that happiness is what we make it and it's not what other think it should be
Practicing contentment will get you so much farther in life than always wanting the next best thing. God didn't create us to have abundance of earthly things because we don't need that! It's more to clean, more to keep up with, more to consume. It's not healthy. Your home is beautiful and you've been blessed with it. I'm glad to hear that you don't let peoples rude comments ruin your attitude towards life.
Omg! Just watching you wears me out. I remember having all that energy but now I’m 66 years old and I just take it a little at a time.
Your right people need to be more content with what they have. You can make any place a home and fix it up. Sometimes i find people just not happy and they just go all out and buy the best until it wears out then they are not satisfied anymore. So you and dillian are doing a great job and a good lesson to teach your children. Thank you for sharing ❤❤❤
Karrie, you are very wise at your young age. There are so many people i know who need to listen you and learn.
My house is small, and not fancy or perfectly decorated...but I bought it by myself after a divorce.(Worked 2 jobs most of my adult life)..its almost paid for!!! Do I look and admire others homes!!! Yes...but mine is cozy and Lived in...and Im proud of it and myself...dont care what the opinions of others are!!!
Karrie your home is beautiful as are you! You keep doing you. I look forward to your videos, keep them coming! Do not pay any mind to rude comments. You've been blessed with a beautiful home❤😊
I just wanted to say I think it’s amazing your back in church and on your Faith journey. I’ve watched for years and was always curious if you were a believer. I remember an episode you mentioned stoping at the stop sign to pray after the accident and I was like oh wow. So I just love you mentioning it more.
Karrie, Thank you so much for preaching about debt. My husband and I have always lived by this rule we had an acre of land when we got married. We set a small double wide on the property 40 years ago. Over the years we have had all the inside and outside completely redone . We look back on old pictures and you would never know it was the same place. We built a screened-in porch, 2 car garage and a front covered porch. We are now nearing retirement and so this has been our forever home. It was a little crowded when our 2 girls were growing up but now we have to much room for the 2 of us. We only need 1 bedroom and 1 bathroom. If you all stay there you all will be the same way.
You’re the best normal and realistic I’ve come across. Blessings to you and the family! Keep up the great you and keep being the best version of YOURSELF❣️🏡
I looovveee your house. I think it’s so cozy and beautifully decorated. ❤ bigger doesn’t always mean better, I wish more people understood that. Even if I was rich I don’t think I’d ever want a HUGE house. Wouldn’t feel “homey” to me 🤷🏻♀️
Gratitude is plentiful. Keep doing you for your family. I love your home
Karrie…..
Hooray! Hooray!
Debt free is the way to be!
Contentment is a blessing that many don’t choose to experience.
Thanks Karrie for sharing the difference between want & need.
Stay firm & stay the course. Really enjoying your channel 😉🤗
You are one smart cookie Karrie! People are so caught up in bigger, better, more, more, more and it just equals debt. Your home is beautiful and you should be proud😊❤
The way you are planning for your debt free future is so smart, and your current home is lovely. Little Miss Polish a Turd is probably in her 30’s and living in her parents basement. Or maybe a single (for a reason) spinster with her 7 cats and overflowing cat boxes. 😂 You have a great sense of humor, no use getting worked up over ignorant stranger comments.
Karrie, I love that you’ve found contentment in your home and focus on improving what you have instead of looking for bigger and “better”. You’ve made your home beautiful and it’s full of love and that’s what matters. Love watching your journey. ❤
I am 52 & I "used" to do all the things you are doing & you know what I'm going to start again
Preach girl❤ A home is what you make it and none of us take it with you!!! God bless you sweet girl🥰
I think your house is beautiful and all the work you put into it is just extra love that makes it feel even more like home. I can’t believe people have the audacity to tell you to move. Ignore them!
Karrie you are wise beyond your years
You have a beautiful home. You have done wonders maximizing the space and if I were in your shoes, I'd have a hard time leaving it. Your family has already made so many memories there. I love the idea of moving the refrigerator and extending the countertop space. And changing the sliding glass door to a regular door is also a great idea that would add more space. I wonder if you are still interested in keeping the barn door---it seems like removing it would add additional wall space, maybe for a desk. Also, have you thought about switching the front door to where it opens into the dining room instead of the living room? That may make entering the house a little less awkward---although it's really hard to tell on camera if it would change anything or not. On the front porch you could move the post that visually blocks the front door to the left or right---and if that upsets the balance, just add another post that corresponds on the opposite side of the porch. Living within your means is always the best choice. Y'all are doing the right thing! Good luck!
Hi Karrie, i dont comment alot but that comment someone said was so offensive and upseting...🥺😠
You have a beautiful home and i love watching all you do! I think you are so wise beyond your years too.
Keep doing what you love Karrie! You are an inspiration! ❤
Living a life of contentment and gratitude brings such a deep feeling of peace. Love the message of your video today 🌼
Agreed about being as financially smart as you possibly can. You seem blessed with a great family and a nice home. Don't feel pressured to change.
The idea of replacing the sliding door with a single door is brilliant. You could re-work that space to maximize your kitchen efficiency and layout.
Also glass sliding doors are not as safe and secure.
You stay the way you are. Having material STUFF does not bring happiness. You have good values. I bet the people that tell you to buy more or get bigger home is not happy that is why they keep buying to feel the void the unhappiness in their life. Like you said can’t buy happiness. You are smart beyond your years. Your home is absolutely beautiful so many people would love to have it. Thanks for what you said😊
That’ll preach! There is nothing wrong with your house. You have made it so pretty and functional. Stir clear of the high interest and shackles of debt! Debt becomes the second person in your head that has more say than you do about what you do with your time.
Relatable on the insurance.😡
My home owners insurance raised like that too. It's so frustrating! Insurance companies are taking advantage of people and getting away with it. They told me it's due to the cost of building supplies. It's truly ridiculous!
I had a house payment that I knew I could afford. I bought a house that needs alot of work, with the plan of saving to work on it over time... but I can't even afford to do anything to my house now with the rising cost of everything.
So thankful for our home though and our neighbors as well. It's just frustrating trying to do anything. I'm also working toward being debt free.🙏
We will get there Karrie! It's gonna take longer due to the rising cost of everything, but we will get there.
So glad you found a Church that you like to attend!!
Love your channel. You give me such motivation! ❤
I completely agree with appreciating what you have and focusing on building up for the future. If it ain’t broke don’t fix it. lol. You guys are doing well and your kids look so happy. Not to mention you’re building sweat equity. You’ve turned that home from builder grade to a HOME. ❤
I'm still struggling with the spray snow, too! I put on our big sliding doors...it's not a good look now. 🤣
People said the same to us about our last home. It was a doublewide and we loved it!
My husband even repeatedly said we were polishing a turd! We saved and worked hard...now in our mid 40s we rent that house for income and love our forever home! You're very smart and doing it all so well!
You are being very smart. We lived in a 1200 sq. Ft house for over 50 years and raised 3 kids there. Help them through college. Am so proud what we were able to do. Couldn’t afford anything else and didn’t want more.
Those flowers are beautiful! Our Lowe’s is ridiculous in pricing! If you didn’t hang that feeder with aluminum screws, I can’t stress enough the importance for the health of the tree. As for those telling you to sell or do this or that, I’m glad you laugh in their face because people need to learn to stay in their lane! Your home is beautiful! You’ve got a lot of blood, sweat and tears in this home and it definitely shows!❤
Karrie I’ve been watching you for quite a while.. You’re a very talented and determined young woman .. the growth of your channel has been exciting and simply amazing.. That kind of growth doesn’t happen by accident!! It takes talent, determination, dedication and the ability to learn and adapt and you’ve got it Missy!! Your ability to grab people’s interest and inspire them through your videos shows in the wonderful feedback you receive and the continued growth of your channel.. yet you remain steadfast in your dedication to your family by living within your means and not getting caught up in the “bigger is better” mindset. You are so right.. you can’t take it with you.. material things pass away but the love you have for your family and the memories you create with them will always be with you.
You’ve certainly inspired me time and time again 😌. Blessings to you and your family
Your friend from Ky ❤
I cleaned my wood work and mopped my floors today. So satisfying to get things done. I love my humble home, too. Getting ready to flower shop after your video.
You just do whatever YOU need to do for your family. You have indeed a beautiful home ❤️
you are very wise. things cost too much these days. i love your house and it look beautiful. we added onto our house which made it nice. i just wish they had bigger closets (built in 1957)😂
u r doing the smart thing to b debt free and save if u can. u never know what life will bring❤
love ur videos. wish i had ur energy. i’m almost 58 and still work 8 hrs so not motivated to do anything else😂
You are financially smart. Your home is beautiful and you are blessed. I'm sure there are many who would love to have what you have.
Always excited to see Karrie!!! Now a days people are actually looking to live more simple with the way life and the economy is. Your home is beautiful and you haven't necessarily outgrown it at all. People are always looking to impress and it's just not in your character to be that way. I just know having property is important to you and that day will come. Sometimes when you least expect it. Just keep posting we all will always be here.
I just have to say you have a beautiful home. The bigger the house the more you have to clean. I live in a two story brick older house. That i rent know. Because when my husband passed i moved to the city to be closer to things. Because where i lived in the country was a small town. And it wasn't much there at the time. And i had to drive 45 minutes to go to a grocery store or any shopping and Drs office. And i wish know i lived in a smaller house. This is a remoled home and its nice but to much to try and keep up. And you two are right about living in your means. I have seen many CZcamsrs buy big fancy houses. And know they are selling and getting smaller because they can't afford them. Your and Dillon do a wonderful job on your beautiful home.
You can get inexpensive plant hangers (macrame type) so your flowers can hang lower, I’ve seen them at Dollar Tree,just an idea! 🩵
Amen sister
Preach it.
Live on purpose
Love passionately
Forgive continually
And never compare yourself to another. The Bible says a fool does that .
Karrie, you do you and what makes you happy. And screw whatever everyone else thinks. I ❤ your channel and I'm not going anywhere.
I agree with the staying below means. Everyone’s been asking when we’ll get a house. We live in a single wide with an entry addition. It’s been 7 years next month and it’s been paid off for 5 years next month. We’re a family of 5. My boys share a room and my daughter has her own. We have the smaller room and our king bed fits our dresser is in the closet. It works. It allowed me to become a sahm mom this year for my kids for health reasons.
Often times when people think they outgrow a space it’s really they just own too much. We consistently delcutter. Living small allows us to go in more trips do more fun things and like I said I’m home now. We homeschool as well started this year.
Your home is beautiful and you’re making smart financial choices. It’s awesome you paid off your husbands truck! Proper often forget to be grateful what they have. They’re too huge getting the next best thing, or keeping up with the others.
Your porch is so pretty. So excited for the new addition. Thank you for all your motivation. At 62 it’s hard to get going sometimes.
Karrie Lynn, you are wise beyond your years. Absolutely right about not moving and to live within your means.
It is refreshing to hear a person talk about a mortgage. I don’t think people give all that much thought to it all. And good going paying your husband’s truck off. Kudos to you guys!
Hi Karrie! You are wise beyond your years girl! Doing what you’re doing is super smart! You do you - don’t listen to anyone but yourself! Your home is beautiful! Keep making the memories! 🥰
My mom always had short chains to bring her hanging pots down a little on the porch. It did make a difference. Just a thought. Your porch refresh was very motivating. Thanks!
I clean my stove EXACTLY the same way... and I have written and drawn in the soap bubbles too. You're home is gorgeous as always!!
Karrie, I think your house is beautiful and I love everything you are doing to it. And I love all your pets. GOD BLESS YOU and Your family
I just love your house so much!! It has changed so much over the time y’all being there but you have truly made it a home!
Get some oil rubbed bronze chair and hook your hang baskets from them. It makes all the difference in the world ❤
Hey,I like the idea of the oil rubbed bronze but can you tell me how is the plant going to hang from the chairs,I have chairs and it will be an good outdoors for my front porch also.thanks
If you did move your refrigerator that would give you more cabinets above and below too, then you could take one of the pantry cabinets to store your mop, vacuum, etc, i know that is something you always wanted
Careful pressure washing windows, the pressure can break the seal and you can end up getting condensation/fogginess between the panes oof glass. Luckily when it happened to our windows, they were still under warranty. The company replaced the several that were damaged.
STAY WHERE YOU ARE AT!!! Your home is perfect for you and your family. It is much cheaper to Reno your home than buying a bigger one that is probably need reno’s. You are being fiscally responsible and understand that being house rich is way better than being house poor. So proud you and Dillon have reached this realization at your age. My parents raised 4 children in a 1500sqft house with 1 bathroom and 1 living room and 4 bedrooms (I was the only girl so had my own shoe box bedroom as did my youngest brother while my 2 older brothers, who are 6 and 4 years older than me, shared the largest of the kids rooms)- we not only survived but thrived as Mom made a home for all of us to come home to after work and school and where all the relatives and friends gathered. I remember having about 60 people in our home during all the holidays including Memorial Day and July 4th and no one ever suggested we needed to move to some place bigger. But I am 62 and there wasn’t the drive to prove to anyone that we had “made it” as all my parents generation were in the same place financially and home size and having 4 or more kids in 1000-1500sqft.
There are so many people that buy above their means, big beautiful house but so unhappy, can’t sleep and so so worried about how can we keep up now? Keep doing what you do !!
Living within your means.... absolutely agree 💯. Amen to you sista!!
I agree 100000% with you in the house thing. I love my home even though most people have bigger newer homes but I’m not leaving my nice interest rate ❤ i appreciate you staying down to earth ❤
Watching you mopping the floors and washing the windows makes me think about a saying. "So, you're only a housekeeper". Well, you show that a wife at home really works harder than some guys out there in the workforce. Keep on keeping on!😊
Karrie, your home is YOUR HOME, and it’s beautiful and warm, appreciated, and you and your hubby take really good care of it! Everything you said about comparison is correct! Love that you share it with us and keep inspiring us! 🕊🤗
I am appalled at some people! Your house is beautiful as u r! I agree you r being smart with your money! This is not a good time to buy anyway! Keeping up with the Jones is not smart! I am Soo glad u spoke out about it! Inspiring! I have quit watching a lot of You Tubers for pushing so much consumerism! Ty Karrie
Preach it and I glad you said that to let people know that you are content where are. I always say why live a champagne where your making beer 💰. Just be content and with God help you will get there.
I don't think your house is a turd..lol you have a beautiful home. We lived in a small home with 5 people , and people called it a little cottage. You and your hubby have done a great job keeping it on trend. I know a lot of people are in way over their heads to keep up with others. I think you are happy where your at and that's all that counts.
💰💰💰💰💰💸💵I am an insurance agent in Maine and YES yes yes you can get a better rate on insurance! Shop it for sure or even ask for your policy to be “rescored” if you credit is better then last time it was scored it can def decrease had mine rescored this year it decreased over $600 for the year…also check your coverages could maybe increase the deductible that will reduce the rate as well
Hi Karrie!
I watched this video yesterday.
First of all, I am most likely older than your mom(LOL), so my perspective is also age inspired, but here are some takeaways.
Your home is absolutely BEAUTIFUL!
As long as you, your husband and kids are content in this home, then that's what matters.
As a fellow Floridian, I can attest to the rising prices of homeowners insurance, property taxes, and related expenses. Just because you buy a home that you can afford today, rest assured that if your taxes and insurance are in escrow, your mortgage payment will go up significantly.
Finally, as a woman of a certain age, my children are grown and on their own. We have down sized, and are content.
You have realized at a much earlier age, what really matters.
What we have is a blessing, but as you say, none of this goes with us.
I love your videos! Thank you for your inspiring home ideas!❤
I love your videos so much! It's so nice to watch someone with a smaller home like me. You di such a wonderfully job making your house beautiful
Yes!!! Preach girl! Also the people who are telling you to move…AREN’T PAYING YOUR BILLS lol, now if they offer to buy you a larger home paid in cash that’s a different story😂. But thank you for always being you! I can’t tell you enough that you’re so motivating & inspiring to me!
I clicked on this video seeking some mom motivation, and it delivered in spades! The mom's relatable anecdotes and practical advice made the front porch makeover feel both attainable and enjoyable.
Karrie, I am noticing how much you are glowing lately! What color eyeshadow do you wear? I have the same color hair, eyes, and complexion as you. Thanks for sharing your cleaning and decorating motivation with us!
I’m so proud of you for your view of materialism and wanting more and more, being satisfied and feeling fortunate for what you have.💗 and for your boldness in discussing it on your Chanel good for you. Dont ever change💗🦋
I love hearing your heart and how the Lord is working in you so that you learn to be content and not get sucked into the mentality that a bigger home or more stuff will make you happy. True joy isn't found in material things. I hope that anyone watching your videos will see that. Have a blessed weekend sweet girl. Arlene
Amen! I think you’re doing an amazing job! You, your home, and family are beautiful! Keep doing what you’re doing~
Love all of your videos 💕
You should look into the color Smokey Taupe by Benjamin Moore for the cabinets! I almost used it but it was too dark for our kitchen, so I ended up using Oatbran by Valspar. Accessible beige is beautiful as well!
I agree with all those who say the "live within your means" mantra. One day your kids will be grown and out of the bouse then you'll have more room than you know what to do with - and a whole lot less laundry!! Your home is .lovely and you work so hard to keep it that way.
I adore you're home- it's gorgeous- who ever is telling u to move I think just wants to buy it! 😊 you're amazing and my favorite u -tube friend- fyi yes my insurance went up that much too- wth 😮
Your home is just lovely, bigger isn’t always better.
Great advice, our house payment went up $280 per month also CRAZY!!!!!!
Hi Karrie, you, your Channel, your family & your home are so cool😎 and that’s why I keep coming back. Keep doin what ur doin. ☺️🏡
Watching from Michigan…Kim
Keep your home! It is beautiful. The bigger the house the more you don’t need. Insurance and taxes are ridiculous. I pay 600/mo for taxes and insurance. If viewers can’t say something nice then stay quiet. You give me a lot of motivation !!!!
Preach. It girl. It's not about money it's about happiness you and your husband are smart you have beautiful home can't wait to see everything done..am on budget but bless made my home beautiful .loves ❤😊
Karrie, I will never understand why people think it’s ok to leave rude, hateful and mean comments. Your home is absolutely beautiful. You and your husband are making such smart financial choices and are setting a great example for your children. You are wise beyond your years and are a breath of fresh air.
If you get small chains from Walmart or Lowe’s you can have your beautiful flowers hang lower on your porch. Easier to see and water. 🚿
Karrie you and hubby are smarter than your years. I’m so proud of you and not getting sucked in and I wish I’d had done things differently when I was younger 😢your happiness and memories with the adventures you have are worth so much more than a huge house❤ I have loved your channel since you were a young mommy in your mobile home ❤your journey is Amazing
Your maturity regarding your finances is impressive and not often found in people your age. I DID remove my shower door and replace with a shower curtain and liner and LOVE it!
I can't even watch when your dogs are on there because my dog barks at them.😊
Most people live in homes your size and age. It is easy to make a huge new build look beautiful. It takes more talent, organization and thought to make the average home beautiful. You have done a great job. Plus you're teaching the lesson we don't always need more! Well done
Your house is perfect and you have a wonderful big backyard
