Hello, friends!! My name is Whitney. I’m a stay-at-home-mom to three of the sweetest babies and I am so happy that you're here! My channel is all about mom life, tips/motivation for cleaning, decluttering and organizing and fun DIY ideas. I am a Christ follower and I love to share that with others. Colossians 3:23 says, “Whatever you do, do it heartily, as to the Lord and not men.” This scripture keeps me going when I feel like what I do is insignificant. It inspires me every day to change my attitude, to keep going and to turn my daily household chores into worship! My hope is that this can be a place of peace and love in such a chaotic world. THANK YOU for coming along with me!

That was my story. The difference was that I remember I got cut open without anesthesia. I felt everything the anesthesiologist did not come in until after the baby was out. I would do it all over again, knowing that my baby is here and healthy and alive. It was super traumatic, but I am grateful to have her. You are so strong and thank you for sharing.
Thanks!
I’ve tried the natural bug repellent and they don’t work
I had a very very similar birth story. No pick line, no epidural. It is a miracle that we’re all here. But what I loved about your story is how you called out to Jesus. I called out to Jesus too. I was not all that religious up until that point. God is good
I agree 100%! It is absolutely a miracle! I’m so thankful for God’s goodness and faithfulness. ❤ He saved our lives! Thank you for sharing your story!! And for listening to mine!
Thank you so much Whitney, I just started a weight loss journey, and your recipe fits right in with replacing my sweet tooth you are beautiful, and God bless you I get many compliments on your dessert thanks.
Thank you so much! I’m so Happy to hear that you’re enjoying it! ❤ This is hands down one of my favorite sugar-free desserts! Good luck on your journey! And God bless you too!!
Why not shake it, what does that do to it?
This formulation is good only for American mosqueto not rest of the world mosquetos. I have tried it in India. O.K.
You’re both so blessed and fortunate!! ❤prolapsed cord are a true emergency, and it sounds like your healthcare team did everything right!!
My mother in love got me a gift card to hobby lobby for Christmas so I’ll make sure to look for this. And maybe some type of fabric for crocheting amigurumi (I always just sew on but I suck at sewing).
I feel like you were telling my story thank you for sharing
Thank you so much for watching! I wanted to share this story so other mamas who have been through it won’t feel so alone. Sending hugs to you! ❤️
Great idea (RGhYUN MTSUYN, in Hebrew). // SHLM & HaB (peace & love). The Name of the Creator is Hayah asher Hayah, as what He told Moshah (Exodus 3:14), preserved in the Hebrew Scriptures. There is a curse to the G-o-d name (Isaiah 65:11-12), preserved in the Hebrew Scriptures. All followers of the Messiah are to do the 7 appointed times (Leviticus 23), but no more animal sacrifices, following the Crucifixion of the Messiah. We are now of the order of MLK TSDQ (King, righteous), to Whom ABRaHM tithed. Ask the Messiah to be your personal Savior. He said to him, I am the way, the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me (John 14:6). ...for all have sinned and fallen short of the glory of Hayah (Romans 3:23). The wages for sin is death but the gift of ALaHYM is Everlasting Life through Messiah Yahushgh our Master (Romans 6:23). That if you confess with your mouth the Master Yahushgh and believe in your heart that ALaHYM raised Him from the dead, you shall be saved (Romans 10:9). He Himself is an Atoning Offering for our sins, and not for ours only but also for all the world (1 John 2:2).
I understand not using normal bug spray cause that stuff is toxic, along with bleach, Pine-Sol, another household cleaners.
Dots are best
The minute I saw dollar tree.... Cheap Crap made in China is killing your Country and Environment. Buy Good Once. Don't Over buy, too much stuff is a time vampire.
Hey can’t wait to try this! Thank you!
Can we spray it on ourselves Or we spray our surroundings
You can spray it on yourself! Although it seems like it could also be sprayed on your surroundings. You could definitely try it out and see how it works!
Can i use rubbing alcohol if i dont have witch hazel
Thanks !
Thank you for watching!!
Thank you!
Can you use lavender on it own or what other oils would you mix it with
You could definitely add lavender. I wouldn’t use it by itself for the purpose of repelling mosquitoes though.
I tried this and works great, thankyou do much
I’m so happy it worked well for you! Thanks for trying it out! 😊
Oh Whitney! I was crying!! So glad you are all ok.
Not to be rude but you don’t need a amber glass spray bottle because I tried this with a different type of spray bottle
That’s great! I prefer to use Amber glass bottles because some essential oils are light sensitive. The Amber helps to shield the oils from the light.
How did the paint withstand multiple washings? Thank you fir this video?
what would the shelf life be?
Thank you!! 💕
How many ounces is that bottle?
It is a 4 ounce bottle! I will update the description box with a link to them if you’d like to check it out! Thank you so much for watching!
Hi! Cool vid! How long would this last? Would I be able to keep it for next summer if I don’t use it all in one summer or would I have to make a new batch?
Thank you so much for watching! I have done this to test it out and determined that it wasn’t as potent as it is when it is fresh, so I would say it is probably best to make a fresh batch next summer when you’re ready to use it again!
My cord prolapse story was 3 years ago, a code orange was announced and my baby was delivered 5 minutes later ONLY ! She was in the NICU for only 12 hours and is completely healthy Alhamdullah ❤️❤️
why not shake it hard?
traveling to Africa nufsaid lol
What if u did shake it hard??? 😅😅😅 I didn’t keep the video playing… so missed that part, until I resumed the video…
I don’t think it would ruin it. Thanks for watching!
hi there from malaysia! if i want to do essential oil for diffuser, can i just exclude the water, because i only wanted to do essential oil for diffuser, not a spray. can it work like that? i hope you can and will answer this <3
Hi Erna! Thanks so much for watching!! Typically when using a diffuser, you would still need water, but you would exclude the witch hazel. Just fill your diffuser with water, then add approximately 2 or 3 drops each of your essential oils! 😊
I've used so many store bought bug sprays and none of them have worked. So here I am 🤣
Thanks so much for watching, Brittany! I hope this spray worked for you!! I’ve used it again several times this year and it’s worked great for us! ❤️
What is second ingredient? I'm not from US
Hi Bea! The second ingredient I used is witch hazel, which is an astringent used as a carrier to the skin. If you can’t find it, you could use high proof vodka instead! Vodka would also help with the sting and/or itchiness if you do happen to get an insect bite! Best of luck and thanks for watching!
Thank you for this. It's been a year since you posted this. May I ask was the savings worth it compared to buying the premade fruit pouches? Sorry if there's a video explaining it I hadn't seen it.
Hi Joe! Thanks so much for watching! I would absolutely say the savings are worth it compared to buying pre-made pouches. We still use them today and just buy applesauce jars to fill them with in bulk from Sam’s to save even more money. We made sure to purchase the Simple Modern reusable storage pouches from Amazon since the pouches that the Squeeze Station came with are not reusable.
Same experience cord prolapsed and urgent c section.i got the baby girl now she is 6years.... All thanks to god and the doctors and nurses who handled the situation....
Watching this a year later, but really enjoyed this! Your outfit and makeup really compliment each other
Aww thank you so much! 🥺 I’m so happy you enjoyed watching. Thank you for being here! And happy Valentines Day!
Любо-дорого посмотреть🥰👍
Hi Whitney, have you fun to make a new after party cleanup video with Ballon popping? If yes please with sound of the popping balloons and not speed popping 😊
Awe Whitney! I would've been so annoyed at the whole not being able to eat for as long as you waited!! Especially those extra two hours 🙄 Silas is gorgeous, he looks so healthy!(:
Girl it was so awful! Lol! They didn’t end up letting me eat until the next morning, so it was over 24 hours without eating or drinking anything! 😑 Thank you so much! He’s my sweet, squishy man! 🥰
I LOVE his name! ❤
Thank you so much!!! 🥰 I do too! I’m so happy my husband finally agreed to it!
Hi Silas! He is precious and glad to see you back.
Thank you so much, friend!!! ❤️
Hey sugga! I’m so happy to see you and things are going well except being poked on!
Hi, sweet friend!!! ❤️ Thank you so much for watching! Yes, all is going so well! And thankfully no more poking on! Lol!
I love how you get your kids involved in the kitchen, that is such a great skill to teach!
This is the cutest thing! I love your kids narrations <3
I think we should do a "treasure hunt", maybe "cupcake making" and even, something like movie night (for each family, my sister lives next door and my other sister lives in the next town over with my youngest sister staying with her) at the end. After we all go and "Boo Our Neighbors"! I figured, that we would "Boo Neighbor's" at first. (A couple now, then we could "Boo with Only Candy" on Halloween. I do not want to "Trick-or-treat" on Halloween. (Plus, though they are disabled, they are getting older like one is 18, another is 17 and 16. I want to "Boo!" The Neighbor's this year but not sure if I will wait until "Halloween" OR, IF WE WILL, do it earlier this month so we can Introduce it to the Neighborhood. Because, it is not done in my Town and we would Love to do it. I want to do it sooner, rather than later. So, we can get people continuing it and we can get more people Boo'd. I also need to get some Sugar-free treats. Because, I will be Booing my Father and also my Ex and his mother and step-father. She is Diabetic. (But, he has low sugar, so Sweet things will go to him and his Step Dad. So, we can all have fun with it!!!!) I am thinking, of Autumn/Halloween themed basket for new Neighbors. It is an older couple and they have no kids. Nice couple and I hope they like it!!! :) So, if you want to do something for Halloween. Booing Neighbor's, is a Fun thing to Do!!!! :) Fun for All Ages. How to Boo Your Neighbor: (Look it up online.) 1: Have a Treat for your Neighbor. (Can be homemade or bought.) 2: Sneakily, go drop it off. (Night is best, around sunset or after sunset.) 3: Place, the treat (without being seen) on the porch or near Door, where they will easily see. But, not where Door will hit it upon opening. 4: Knock (Loudly), or Ring the Doorbell! 5: Run! (Run and Hide!) The Neighbor, isn't supposed to know who left it. Part of the FUN, is Guessing who left it. (Now, there is more to it. Like placing a sign, saying "You've been Boo-ed" and the other sign says "We've Been Boo-ed" and also if you are Boo'd, you are supposed to Boo, 2 of your Neighbor's. This is up untill Halloween, the sign stays up until Halloween. Then save it for Next Year and you can use it (it make more for others that you want to "Boo") Anyways, you are basically.. a "Ghost" leaving "Treats" for people. Oh! Make sure you have something that says, "Boo!". Because, you are "Booing" People After All! :) (That is basically the jest of it. I have been explaining it alot just incase people haven't heard about it. Many, many people haven't heard of it and we need to get it started in out town. So, I plan on doing our first house when I get the Boo-ed papers I ordered. (No printer. So yeah!) But, it is such a fun Festive thing to do for the whole family.) Note: Thanksgiving, version of this is... "You've been Gobbled!" (Or, "You've Been Turkey-ed", also heard of an Autumn version called... "You've Been Thanked!". Valentine's Version: "You've Been Hugged!" Christmas: "You've Been Elf-ed!" All different versions of this Neighborhood Game. Even if you don't know your Neighbor's, try doing it. It could be fun! Live on the woods, no Neighbor's? Co-workers, you can do! Also, if you want... You could send a package to a friend or family and maybe they could start it in their Neighborhood!!!!! :D That would be cool!! Anyone and Everyone would have fun. So, Remember! 1: Get (or make, if you know them) a Treat for Neighbor. 2: Sneak and place it in front of their door, Without Being Caught!!! 3: Ring Doorbell or Knock Loudly (or you could just leave it there, if you are to scared to Knock! --- I get panic and anxiety attacks. You are supposed to Knock!!!) 5: Run and Hide!!! (Don't let them know you are there. When you think it is safe and you are in the clear you can leave.) 6: Have Fun and Stay Safe! (Please Keep it going, if you are Boo'd, please Boo more 2 people. And, if you are Boo'd please Attach a sign or paper, to your door or Window, where it is Visible for all to see. So, other Neighbor's can be Boo'd too!!!) It is a safe, fun same for everyone and you can have fun on or before Halloween.. while STILL ---- Social Distancing!!! Plus, all the germs on the candy and what if the candy came from a place that has covid.. now, your child's whole bag and everything (on and off and your child) is at risk. So, doing this is a much safer option and you are treating your Neighbor's instead of you but, that doesn't mean that you can't have a great or two. Maybe make cookies or cupcakes? And buy some extra candy for your family too? Just an idea. A scavenger hunt would also be something you could do on Halloween. Maybe a camp fire and s'mores? What about camping, even if it is in your yard? Or board games? Why not turn out your lights and have candles lit. Have a nice silent meal (ancestors dinner)?! Tell scary (or write scary stories?) Listen to halloween music and dance (dance party). There's soo much you could do that is safe during the Pandemic. We just want everyone to be Safe!!!! Have an Amazing, Day--Week--Month--Year!!! Don't forget to Stay Safe & Social Distancing is IMPORTANT!!!
LOVE
sorry, you need an emulsifier to bind the oil and water together
can you tell me what the emulsifier you recommend?
Vegetable Glycerin is what I've seen used
@@BMAAT1 Question... how much veg glycerine would you use for this recipe and would it leave oily stains on clothes at all? Thank you!
How are u doing mama!! It’s been so long since I last hopped and uploaded on KZread!! Hope things are well! 😍🥰💗missed your posts!
My cord prolapse story is almost 18 years old and I remember pretty much everything as if it was yesterday. I had a contraction that wouldn’t let up. I knew something was wrong. All the sudden several nurses ran in. They started flipping me from side to side and throwing oxygen on me. I remember the nurse checking me saying, “I have a cord. We have to go!” She stayed there until my baby was born. From the time I was wheeled out of my room until she was born was 17 minutes. It was insane! I was cut up and down and I had 18 staples. I am so grateful to those nurses!
Wow Amber!! Your story is so similar to mine. I’m so sorry you had to experience that, but I’m so happy that your daughter is safe and healthy! I had an amazing nurse who didn’t let go of my baby’s cord until the doctor was pulling her out! She was incredible and saved our daughter’s life! Thank you for sharing your story with me! ❤️
