The lack of clutter is key to a quick clean!! Thank you.
We have spent 4 days in the area traveling back roads, shopping and eating! I visited your booth in Walnut Creek and purchased the white wooden calendar. We have found our happy place for simplicity and easy going pace as we get older. Thank you for being an inspiration to me! Leaving for home tomorrow (NC) will be bittersweet!
Thanks for the tips!👍😊
Food looks delicious!💖
Mary, I always enjoy all of your videos! That was a delicious meal!
Mary’s light cleaning is my deep clean!! 😅😂 ❤
YUM!!!
Not weird at all. Your house is beautiful. So where did you get your hanging chair in the living area. Love love it.
Great content again…love your quick and easy recipes. Was there supposed to be a recipe for the icing on the cake, or am I mistaken.
Always inspiring!!
Awesome video, thank you for sharing 🙏🙏
I have a dishwasher and we still wash by hand! How many times do you have to rinse out your dusting mitt while dusting?
Thanks for sharing this video enjoyed it.
If the frosting is too hot it won’t work properly, it still taste great, though
I was just telling my husband that I planned to have all the ingredients for sloppy Joe's on hand for the weekend following Thanksgiving since family will be here and there. We like seasoned tater tots with our sloppy joes.
Bu titizligine temizliğine ve güzel paylaşımlarınıza hayranım ve sizin en sıkı takipcinizim sevgilerimle ❤
I clean my shower while I’m in it too. Video was inspiring thanks.
👌👌👌👌🏻
Could you or anyone tell me what the exact name of the Dyson vacuum cleaner is that you use ?
Love your channel! Lots of great ideas!
I almost always clean the shower when I’m in there too.
Can you please tell me where you purchase your skirts? I love them.
I do the same thing in the shower. Love your Content and candles.
Hello Can anyone help me please as I'm looking for the tray bake cake recipe but I can't find it, Thank you
Texas sheet cake is my favorite cake and I have made quite a few recipes over the years, but now I ALWAYS use Ree Drummond's Texas Sheet Cake recipe. Have you ever tried that recipe Mary? It turns out right every single time and is always very moist. 2nd Question: Do you use rapid rise yeast in the bread recipe or is it the active dry yeast? Thank you for another great video!
I love my Dyson. I had a 6 for many years. I just bought a 10. It works so good. I can vacuum for a hour.
New subscriber.
The meal looks awesome! I love to watch all your videos!❤
Mary, I have to thank you for sharing your Norwex cloth…game charger!!! I finally have spotless windows! It also works on everything. I am so glad I finally after all these years bought it. I did not in the past due to cost of the cloth thinking it was a gimmick…its not. It really works!
TEXAS SHEET CAKE, you bet, been serving it for over 50 years here in TEXAS.
Help, the ceiling fan in my kitchen, has collected greasy grim and I guess I never looked up. So far everything I have tried has not cut this grease. Do have a suggest to what to cut this grease?
Mary do you have gift cards and do you except Etsy Gift Cards ?
I always clean my shower before I get out
I love my Norwex dusting Mitt.
Mary, do you always serve your family with 4 food groups at supper? Just wondering. TFS – I enjoyed your video, as always. You are truly an inspiration!
Mary, my husband laughs when I clean while in the shower I even squeeze the glass shower door while in there. Thanks
I can not imagine anyone not being pleased to see this meal set before them. Simple yes, but knowing that someone cared enough to prepare pretty and tasty food to share with others is rather special these days! People are in such a hurry, so busy doing "things", that too often we miss the opportunity to share ourselves with people we care about. I love my Norwex products and I'm glad to see you promoting them. I like how you share your handcrafted items without being pushy. I for one enjoy knowing what you're doing when you're not videoing! LOL. A funny story about the Texas sheet cake….when my now 56 yo daughter was about 5 or 6 years old, we met a family with 6 kids in our church and we became very good friends. She often made this sheet cake and it was always referred to as "Mabel's brownies". In my handwritten recipe book that's how I titled her recipe and that's how we always referred to it. Then my grandchildren called it GMa's brownies, because they didn't know who Mabel was, until one day I stumbled across a recipe for Texas Sheet Cake. WHAAAT! I could hardly believe it, but in my recipe book and with my family, it's always GMa's Brownies and occasionally we pay homage to Mabel for introducing it to us. The only problem I have with the icing is once in a while I get it too thick! But it is so good and nobody here objects to a fudgy icing. Happy Holidays to you and your family!
Another great video Mary. I love your recipes. One of my favorites is your pumpkin bars. I make them all throughout the Fall. I don't see the frosting recipe for the Texas sheet cake in the description box. Can you please share it?
Funny! I I thought I was the only one that cleaned the shower this way
Thank You Mary…you always inspire me! ❤️
Great video amazing meal.
I love your channel Mary. You give great ideas and inspiration to all of us. I think advertising your Etsy shop is a great idea because I would not know about it if you didn't. Thanks so much for sharing your ideas. I am looking at purchasing a kitchenaid stand mixer for my home. Do you have the artisan mixer?
I love your videos and I'm glad you told us your first cake didn't turn out. I got excited when you pulled out the old cookbook, those had some of the most amazing recipes. I've been searching for a brine recipe for cucumbers. I remember loving cream sliced cucumbers when I was a child and I've never found the recipe.
Absolutely love how organized, minimalist and clean your home looks.
Hi, Mary. Thank you for sharing your wonderful days with us. I have a question. What kind of transfer tape do you use with your Cricut machine? I bought a Cricut Explorer 2 about a year ago. I tried to figure it out, watched several videos by others on youtube and still have not been successful in creating a thing. I remembered you had a video sometime ago, so I searched for it and watched it. Your video helped me create two things yesterday. Some of the instructions you gave didn't match my machine (probably because of updates after your video was posted), but I was able to figure them out with a little investigating. And, of course, like you, there was no transfer tape included in my package that came with the machine. I want to thank you for helping me. Your instruction was easy to understand and I just followed along with what you did. Thank you so much. Lisa from Tennessee
Perhaps you’ll want to consider getting a Mini Motorized Head attachment from Dyson (depending on whether it’s compatible with your model or not) for your vacuum. It has a strong roller brush and is absolutely, completely, wildly indispensable on sofas, beds, cushions, entryway mats, and small area rugs (not to mention the car), especially with pets in the house. It’s also much more eco-friendly that disposable lint sheets for such large surfaces. For dusting on hard surfaces, I also suggest the Mini Soft Dusting Brush. Both attachments are life-changers. And no, I don’t work for Dyson! 😂
Thank you for sharing. That meal made me hungry lol.
I do my best cleaning when I have in un expected guest coming lol.
Also, fry sauce yum
