Your looking very slimmed down young lady, good for you looking great.. and love when you clean your fridge always looks so much tidier when done.. love watching all your videos. Have a great evening.😀🖐️😇

I am 64 yrs old and learned that lettuce hack when I was 16 at my first job doing food prep at a pizzeria I still do it to this very day and all my girls do it as well.

That fruit up on the jar is genius,,, I would have never thought of that ❤❤❤. See Amanda, you are amazing ❤❤❤

Your jar foods were such a good idea…love it!! Really like the bored jar idea also!! It’s hard to believe the kids would get bored with the pool & all the other cool things you have in your backyard!!🥰

Watching you food prep for your kids. You are such a good Mom!

Another way to play flashlight hide n seek is to make shapes with your cricut , (we called it a bear hunt, made bears) hide them all over the house. Using just flashlights find them!

That’s such a neat idea!!

Amanda, you are so cute about the iceberg lettuce hack. Your MIL must by my age. I learned this from my mother growing up and do it all the time. I find it crazy that the younger generation don't know about this. How time flies and interesting to find that some things fell off due to families not learning from earlier generations because of all the changes and disconnect. I love seeing how you and your family stay connected and realize how important that is.

Yes, but not to a lot of the rest of us. I doubt my mother (born in 1940) knows.

A plant care/styling and pet chore video would be great.

My Grandson Kane has that cookbook. He loves to cook. He is almost 13. Thanks for the I’m bored jar idea. I definitely will be doing that. And the summer journal idea.

Hi, I am from Bahrain and I have been following you for 3 years, and I am a big fan of your way of arranging, organizing and renovating the house. I like to change the decor, and I am thinking about designing my future home closer to your home. I feel proud and humble at the same time. In general, I liked the way fruits and vegetables are in the jars, and I will adopt them. Thanks for these ideas.

Thanks for the recipes! Another summer idea is to do crafts such as counted cross stitch or diamond painting. A summer outdoor movie night sounds fun as well.

It's been crazy here in Houston, TX. We have been without power for over a week and no internet until today! Some crazy storm took out electricity around the city and some are still dealing with it. I normally watch you while I work, its just not the same on my phone. Thank you, for giving me some motivation today!!! Now it's back to Illinois for a month and then finally moving back to TEXAS!!! Yeah!!! PS. I bought some hand towels for a friend today!!!!😍

I love that you added food prep in this video especially since its keto. I'd love to see more videos of this. I'm trying to lose weight to improve my health and will definitely be trying these recipes.

You look and seem so much happier for Summer. "In your mermaid waves ERA".!!!! They say nothing tastes as good as looking good feels. Your hard work is paying off, you look Amazing!

Ahh thanks! I have been feeling so much better lately!

First of all, you look amazing Amanda! I don’t know if I missed something but you must be losing weight?? Next, your hair looks great with the waves and the hair band. You are such an organized and great Mom and wife. I hope y’all have a great and boredom free summer. 😊❤😊

As always, loved your tips. Congratulations to those who won! For the boys "Habit Tracker" area, you also have some boards on the side of the fridge that I have seen from time to time. These would be great to add to that area. You could add "Give Emma a bath" to the jar. Car wash? Lemonade stand obviously. Yard Sale prep. Good luck busting the I'm Bored Syndrome!

You are such an inspiration. I love how you organize your home. Thanks for sharing.

Wow!!! You are Absolutely Amazing!!! You have the Best Idea's!!! God Bless Us All!!!

The 'I'm bored' jar - I love all your ideas. I would maybe add one for a family picnic or a thrifting day with mom (one on one with each of your boys).

This is fantastic! Your tips on summer prep and homemaking are just what I needed to get ready for the season! 🥰

Amanda you are looking amazing 😍 its not just the weight but you can tell you are happy and relieved! And ive lost 20 pds and I know it motivates me to want to keep going! You are truly beautiful no matter what ! Traci ❤

Im bummed i wanted the bloom towels😢 but im happy for you who won ! Love you Amanda you are the sweetest 💗

Sorry I'm late to watch ing this video. I have a sick foxhound doggie who may need major surgery. Right now she is recoperating from a dog bite she got at her vets office. its been a crazy month. Love the freezer and meal prep. I also used the boredom jar idea years ago when my kids were younger. Great video. 😃

I liked those kind of videos it's given me ideas what to prepare Thanks for sharing 👍 ❤ Am still watching

Very inspiring! My daughter is graduating high school next week and doesn’t yet have a summer job, so I’m hoping she and I can set up a gentle “to do” board to keep her moving forward and not just sleeping all day. And, I’m thinking about creating an “I’m bored” jar for *me* (“learn to knit;” “use one of your 8 million face masks;” etc.). Lots to take from this video.

Good morning & happy summer to you!! 💕

I do the fruit cup thing as well and what is great as you can put so many different things in it. You can put dressing or hummus in it to go with vegetables you could put milk in it to go with cereal. There’s just so many different things. Also, in case you don’t know, the green Parmesan cheese lid that comes on pre-shredded cheese also fits on to mason jars. Update: before you mentioned using the fruit cups, I had pause the video and went to tell you that about the granola and so then I thought let me tell you about the hummus or the ranch dressing, etc., and I see now that I’ve played the video you’ve thought of that too. I really do pay attention. I just pause the video and want to make sure you knew that tip before I forgot to mention it to you. Thanks for all you do, Amanda. I’m always learning something new from you!😊

It just wants me organized my refrigerator today… Thank you so much..,

Hi Amanda I’ve been a long time subscriber but I just don’t comment at all! But I truly love your channel! ❤ Anyways what I wanted to share is for my kids what I decided to do for the summer is we printed a “reading chart” they’re gonna be a reading at least 2 chapters a day and if they do they get a sticker for that day. Then they get to pick a reward after the charts been filled up. My kids choose $40.00 dollars or going out to eat like a Red Robin’s. But they have to keep up with the reading everyday for that reward to count. Otherwise they can’t play the VR, or games or be on the phone. Only because reading is a big issue for kids now days to get into and try to imagine a story. I have 1 teen 13yrs old, 12yrs and. 6yr old. So I know how crazy it is being on top of kids and trying to encourage them to read. I just thought I’d share. Maybe you could give it a try. 😊💕 Oh also I found my reading charts on Etsy! 😊

Great ideas. You look great! Love your hair.

That is such a cool idea for the jar snacks❤ love it.

Other boredom busters: - draw a picture for a loved one if they're too young for writing a letter - fold laundry - walk the dog - play with pets - help siblings with chores - wash the car - bigger kids can reaearch new recipes for family dinners (everyone can use new ideas)

Hello gorgeous lady. I absolutely love your videos!!! Ingenious, ideas given, very useful. I will like to congratulate you for teaching your 3 little gentleman to clean after themselves and also cook it is amazing what you do because if we look around at this young generation and we are just stunt of their helpless, they just don't know to do anything, they don't know to clean after themselves, or to cook, or simply to have a conversation. So yes!!! You are an amazing mum!! And at the beginning of June, I don't know exactly when it will arrive at your P.O box the two pendants that you liked. ❤ A huge hug from far away to you and your lovely family !

We love to play connect 4 and they do have the smaller version, but they also do have the live size. One that you could play a poolside are in the house or out on the patio. Really cool really cool. We love to play connect 4.

Set up a table and set out a 1000 piece puzzle.....Leave it up until it gets done...Then start another one.....That way they can start and stop when ever they have time, or even a few minutes...

Hi how about the alphabet game that you can all play together you choose a topic like boys names, a fruit or vegetable etc and start with the letter A and go through the alphabet so for example a fruit beginning with A can be apple till you have gone through the whole alphabet my kids loved this when they were young and still play it now and my oldest plays it with his kids xx

My kids get out of school midway through June and go back the Tuesday after Labor Day. I love the greek yogurt zero sugar with fresh blueberries, granola and honey. Love the veggie jars!!! Ive done the parfaits and love them. I have thought about the chopper but i tend to do all the chopping myself but during food prep that would save a lot of time. Im an old fashion girl for certain things chopping is one of them. I always did an AM and then a PM routine tracker. If they completed everything for the week they got to pock what movie we did for movie night or whatbgame we played for game night (both done as a family) My kids are mostly grown up, daughter has moved out and sone is 17. We always did movie night or game night during school but over the summer we did two nights.

Great video…our school year stops end of June and begins after Labour Day…unless you are Amish…their school year ends May 20ish and they return after Labour Day…Also they are done school after they finish 8th grade…😊❤️🇨🇦

ohhhh I’m doing all the freezer meals! love love your homemaking videos Amanda! and the fruit cup on top of mason jar “trick” 😮 genius! ❤❤❤

Love the parfait jars, such a good idea,maybe you can make your own yogurt aswel,it's really easy and would be a great addition to your home made things, love your videos ❤

I use those same meats in my salads too! They're so good, my favorite is the fajita seasoned one!

I LOVE my chopper! I have Sjögren’s syndrome and I can’t chop onions anymore without a lot of pain in my eyes & as I get older arthritis in my hands make this a great help. I loved the granola in the fruit cups idea! You could do the same with dressings for your salads too! Have you tried a little $15 egg cooker to keep hard boiled eggs in the refidge for snacking? They cook perfectly in 12 min. It’s little and stores easily!

Thank you..Just what I needed today..so many good meal ideas

flashlight hide and seek! we had a version of this in my family growing up. we called it, "chase", and we all had these little, glow-in-the-dark key fobs, and the only rule was the fob had to be visible. this was played in our house in pitch-darkness. an amazing stealth game. SO MUCH FUN and you've got my stamp of approval! (not that you needed it, but you know...)

Love your hair and headband ❤

What wonderful ideas with the jars. I will definitely try the salad and fruit ones. I love the tips for the boards. I usually just do things when they are needed to be done. Having a daily list is a good idea. I loved all the tips and recipes. I will share with my daughter the I am bored one for my grandson. Thank you Amanda for sharing with us today. Have a great week. Till next time.😊

You always come up with great ideas!! I wish I had that "I'm bored" stick setup when my kids were little! Its a great idea! 😀❤

Hi Amanda. Ouou Kyle and the boys! Amanda is adding to her chores for the summer…hey! She needs help. Seems that you have periods of boredom, well help your mom out. Tell her that you can do 1 or more hours of housework (not all at the same time if you can) to help her not add on these tasks, so in the end you can have MORE FUN THIS SUMMER, TOGETHER INCLUDING MOM. This would be win-win for you all.
