good morning good evening good afternoon
so I did not vlog yesterday you guys I
did not fold but you guys are getting
all of my fillings today um I did not
feel it did not feel I did not
vlog yesterday because it was such a
crazy crazy day there was so much that I
was trying to do and I forgot my magnet
for the back of my phone so I couldn't
hook my phone up to my my connector on
my windshield so I couldn't Drive in
vlog and then when I got to the store I
will we were gonna do grocery shopping
and then all he was just like can we
please just her shoe shopping tomorrow
he's like I just don't feel like doing
it today and and I was totally cool with
that like I mean it was not like it's a
big deal so I was like yeah that's fine
you know I'm totally totally chill with
that and yesterday I just took the day
to kind of just rest
I did have counseling yesterday which
turned out amazing and we will go over
that but yesterday was a really just it
was just a day I needed to just take a
brain break if that makes any sense and
I think that those are healthy sometimes
especially when you're fighting you know
infections I still am dealing with this
I am on like a low antibiotic my ear
like right in here like say here's my
ear and like there's a pain
it's like just oh my gosh radiating down
my face and it's not bad right now but
last night and the night before oh my
god and it only happens like right
around bedtime that I noticed it so I
don't really know what is going on with
that like it was really crazy so um I
just I really just wanted to take a day
to just relax and just not do much and
just kind of spend a day with the kids
and with Olly and you know it just have
a really nice down day just a down day
and that's exactly what we did although
I did finish up a couple more of my mugs
and I want to do I've got one on the
Turner and that one's for Seattle
sapphire yeah I'm so excited to show you
guys what hers is turning out like but
hers is still sitting to be a surprise
but I did show the owner to one of these
life by Jin and she is absolutely in
love so I'm okay to show it now and then
I have another one that I'm kind of
played with just you know because I'm
just I'm having fun making them so here
is Jin's says life by Jin
well doesn't say life by Jen oh my god
this is life by chintz of Jennifer's
thing and then on the back it says it's
kind of hard to see on camera but it
says slay Sparkle repeat and she wanted
pink camo so I did the best I could and
then here is my other one this is my
baby I love this one it turned out so
good it's all just plain you know just
trying to see what works best for you
so it's diamonds and their 3d print like
kind of output I mean it's soft there's
nothing there's no hard things but you
could see it kind of sticks out a little
bit which is kind of nice because of the
gripping um yeah so shiny and in the
back is just plain and then the bottom
is just plain glitter but yeah isn't
that cool I love it it turned out so
good so yeah I'm really truly
really truly excited that it turned out
awesome but this is like a 3d
dimensional kind so yeah anyways so that
is that that is what I worked hard on
like I said I have Seattle sapphires on
the Turner keep the orders come in and
you guys I am loving this this is
amazing however I do want to show you
guys a little something because it was a
comment made on my channel and I just
wanted to show you guys really quick not
really show you guys but show this
person that made a comment hold on
sweetie um I'm going to Etsy so sorry
okay I just kind of want to give you
guys an idea and reason being that I'm
doing this is because I just want to
show you guys um kind of where I set my
what would you say my prices so hold on
just like I'm gonna show you guys okay
so to kind of explain the situation
somebody made a comment that my
craftsmanship of the cups that I'm
making the craftsmanship and prices are
just outrageous and I'm asking 45 for my
tumblers and I'm asking 35 for my other
tumblers that I have and the prices go
verified and I I'm gonna verify all my
prices here soon also working on getting
my Etsy shop up and running so that has
been a little bit of a challenge because
I'm trying to navigate that it's also
another thing I was working on yesterday
was my Etsy shop so that kept me busy
for probably about 4 hours straight
trying to figure this all out but what
I'm gonna do is show you guys how you
guys can see the prices so that you're
just like whoa so you're not thinking
the same thing as this lady is thinking
where you know she sees ok this tumbler
says this price and these people clearly
have probably been doing this a lot
longer than you and you're gonna step in
thinking that you're gonna charge what
so hold on so
here's an etsy shop here if you see the
base price is 31 45 okay now here is the
tumbler okay it's a very pretty tumbler
don't get me wrong I'm not saying
anything wrong about the tumbler okay
but now if you come up here to where it
says select options
push down look at all the prices you
guys okay for a 24 ounce which is what
mine are she charges 53 95 okay if you
go back down now yetiz yes yetiz can go
up to 85 dollars i do not offer yetiz at
this time that might be something in the
future but as of right now i'm not okay
if you see a 10 ounce coffee mug they
charge 34:15 here's another one there's
the here's the tumblers okay go to here
is her base price now she does she does
yetiz and she also does Ozark I right
now I have Bubba's that's what I do
but Bubba's are equivalent to Ozark and
all the other ones but it's just that's
the style I can only find right now
select prior sucks I okay Ozark Ozark
for a 20 is 40 for 95 30 ounces 54 I'm
not sure what the Hritik is I'm not
quite sure and she charges all the way
up to 89 dollars and that's for Yeti
okay so reason I shared that with you is
not because I'm just trying to be like
oh look look at you no reason I'm doing
that is because I just want to show you
guys that if you guys are trying to
verify prices and things like that
always the the big price that you see at
the front of the page is not always now
sometimes it is but not always you
always have to look because if there's a
+ mark there means more than not you're
going to be adding to it whether it's
adding sparkle like
okay for instance like I have I added
Sparkle with the the way that I
marbleized this and then also has a
vinyl okay this one on the other hand is
all glitter with 3d so I mean honestly
you have to really take an account when
you're looking out those always press in
and check options because 9 out of 10
you're gonna see that the tumblers
actually go up in price and my my prices
are pretty equivalent to everybody
else's prices that are being asked and
the thing is is I can't go in and
lowball people because if I go in and
lowball people on my Etsy shop I can
create a lot of problems because how
fair is that to me first and foremost
that I would not be pricing and charging
what everybody else is getting paid
second of all you don't want to go in
and do a lowball like that because then
that can cause problems for the other
shops out there and that's not fair to
everybody and so you really kind of try
to stick within you know the brands that
you're selling and things like that now
like I said I am NOT at a point where I
am doing yetis or anything like that
eventually I would love to be able to
offer those but right now I'm not I am
gonna go and take a look at some more
spots where I can get more tumblers but
as of right now I offer the Bubba
stainless still and I also offer the
other mugs that I have shown in the past
so but I was just excited I just want to
show you guys my uh blurs that I
finished um let's get ready to do our
book reading I was asked the other day
please give a few seconds for us to grab
our books because we want to follow
along and I I don't even think about
that I was just like okay so we're gonna
be reading our book here just in a few
minutes
so if you want to grab your books we'll
come back to that I did want to go
through a couple messages I am so sorry
you guys I have not been able to reply
back to messages don't think I'm not
seeing them and don't think that I am
NOT
planning to respawn back sometimes I
might do a response through video rather
than typing only reason why is because
sometimes I like to voice my you know my
my what do you want to say it I want to
voice my response rather than type it
because sometimes I can explain my
responses a little better so okay first
one on our video we are so blessed Jody
says everyone needs a grandma April
Amy glad you and your family have a
wonderful adopted mama and Grandma I
feel the love from here
oh thank you Jody and you know what
again I cannot stress enough that Mama
April is she is just an amazing woman
that has come into my life at a time
that I really could have used that that
mama touch and my children absolutely
adore her so she is definitely a very
special special person in our home and
I'm so happy that she's you know that
she is very well known on this channel
because she's an amazing person so Thank
You Jody I appreciate that
dammit Appa I have that phone stand in
my Amazon shopping cart let me know how
you like it
whoop OOP I have it right here I
actually have you guys still
jerry-rigged on the other one I have it
right here I'm trying to figure out how
to set it up but I will let you know I'm
gonna actually see if only um
I'll definitely let you know how it is
but I'm gonna have all you see if he can
put it together okay demet Appa also
says whoever doesn't like the life
Thursday topic can tune in to the next
Thursday and that's exactly true I have
I just you know I think that that's
gonna be the best way to run this the
Thursday lives is just having that topic
so we kind of have like a stationary
place to start our topics and we can
always branch off from there it's not
like it has to stay on that one topic
but it's just something kind of cool
Danna says Diana I don't know why I said
Anna Diana says it is better to give
than to receive
Amy what a blessing for you and your
family not only the gifts but for having
such a great person in your life
I wish I could adopt you as my little
sis much love and hugs oh thank you so
much and you know what you're so right
just having you know having that chance
to give is an amazing feeling and that
is something you know I'm I'm really
starting to think that I might be also
doing the five love languages with our
channel and and I've done the five love
languages years ago and my one of my
love languages is giving and I feel like
that's where you know like even with oli
there was a time in our marriage where
every month it was a random day he would
never know when but one to you know one
time a month I would go to the store and
you know and it's just it could even be
Dollar Tree it doesn't have to be
something very expensive but I would
give him a card and a little you know a
little gift bag that had like his
favorite candies in it and and just show
a gratitude of love and that's how I
that's how I show love is through giving
and so receiving gifts is hard for me
but I love it at the same time but I'm I
so understand that and so it's it's very
understanding that a lot of people's
love language is giving and I've noticed
that more so than ever before since
starting this channel that a lot of
people and I feel like oh my gosh I hope
people don't think that you know our
family's all about give give give give
give and us for us to receive because
that's a far far far far far from the
truth because sometimes when the boxes
come in all these like what somebody
sent us another gift like a me and I'm
like I know and we're so grateful and we
love it but we don't want anybody to
ever think that that's something that
has to be done to just show their
gratitude to us because all the amazing
messages and support that we get every
single day from all of you is enough is
way enough but the gifts are above and
beyond and we are so appreciative of
them and the kids absolutely love
everything that they receive
actually I don't know where they're at
right now Oh yep I don't know if I can
show you guys without my phone diving to
the floor but right there shows Omar's
his uh his cars he has all of his cars
from Grandma April and he shares his bed
with his father in his cars and same
with Ezra Ezra has her makeup person I
share it um okay and about the adopted
little sis thing girl
I'm your sis okay I would love that
you know I I come from a family of
extended like you know I'm not close to
my sibling and so yeah any any sibling
that wants to take me on I could be a
handful but I love it
like emailed you Amy yes yes yes yes
thank you so much um so she noticed in a
picture she's screenshot in a picture of
Jeremiah and he was looking at me in the
picture and there was a weird thing in
his eye and so she sent me a message or
like a thing to read on and it's
something to do with the eyes and so I
am actually I have a call in already
waiting for the doctor to call me back
because I want to get his eyes checked I
just had him checked a year ago but you
never know eyes can change very quickly
and you know she didn't do it to like
scare me of course or anything like that
but I am so grateful that she did point
that out to me because I was just like
oh my gosh I didn't even notice
um okay keno mama your kids are so
adorable and I love when your daughter
talks her voice is so precious thank you
so much I think they are precious too
sometimes
and the voice oh it's so precious
sometimes no no I love my babies and
thank you so much I appreciate that
alright let's see happy mama super cute
I just adore their hair biting kettle PS
your mom seems amazing
thank you so much happy mama and you
know it's so funny but yeah my son won't
let me cut his hair he won't let me have
nothing to do with cutting it I tell him
all the time I'm gonna cut your hair no
no no no my daughter on the other hand
we aren't cuttin her hair we did trim it
up but that was the most that we did
with that and yes my mom is amazing I
love her to death she is an awesome mama
and I wish we lived closer so we could
you know be able to be more physically
close but I'll take what I get because I
love her to death okay
hmm let's see sorry I'm just trying to
go through some of them and I haven't
been able to catch up on all of my
messages so um Oh
Jar Jar in de jure in de I don't know if
I'm saying garner I hope I'm saying that
right um I lost what video says Amy
you're such a sweetheart what food plan
are you on congratulations on your
awesome weight loss thank you so much
sweetie I appreciate it
honestly I am just on counting calories
that's what I've done from day one since
I started in July although I will say
the last probably two months I have been
really relaxed on my counting calories I
think because once you kind of get into
a routine you kind of already know what
what it cost what because you are used
to eating the same plan but I I feel
like I need and I have said this up
multiple times and I just haven't done
it I feel like I need to get my fitness
pal back on and start counting calories
again because I feel like I've been a
little bit more relaxed hmm
with my with my calories so I mean yeah
I'm still losing weight but I want to do
it the right way in the healthy way and
and just stick with my calories I
started out at 1,800 calories when I was
498 pounds and I'm down to 1,600
calories and I'll probably drop to about
1,400 calories and that would be about
where I stay but I'm not at a point yet
where I feel comfortable dropping down
to that yet so I'm just sticking at 1600
for right now but started out with 1800
Trudi hearing let's see on wish Hall to
open your watch on chain push down on
the time changing peg at the top where
the chain goes through the loop oh that
video was so long ago I don't even know
but hey it's berry blue blueberry haha
on the always safety first video girl I
saw your car in my area and I looked you
up and now I'm obsessed oh my gosh thank
you so much and I'm so happy that you
guys are noticing my car out there
sometimes I wonder oh god I better not
be like you know flipping the bird or
something I better behave myself but no
I'm so happy that you were able to look
me up and I hope that you enjoy what you
see because yeah this is what this is
all about some days you'll get good
times where I'm out and about traveling
around and then other times you just get
this set down videos but both I enjoy
all of it so I welcome it to my channel
berry blue blueberry gotta get that name
down that's like a tongue toaster um
welcome to the channel and I hope that
you enjoy yourself alrighty let's do two
more and then we will move on to our
book so Seattle Sapphire on I lost what
this was such a good vlog we spend so
much time trying to place others and
make them happy I think if I begin to
walk in my destiny it will automatically
weed people out or relationships out of
my life Amen sister I am 100% agree with
you that could not been said much more
better than just exactly the way that we
read it and I think that that's why I
love this book so much because it really
really really has worked so much in my
life
just within the time that we've been
reading the book I think that I've used
every day's readings into every
situation in my life and I can honestly
say that I am seeing so many differences
in my relationships and my my focus on
life is changing so much and I'm really
taking an account now what is and what
is not so important because I don't want
to waste precious time that I'll never
get back on relationships that just
aren't gonna ever feed me the the
positivity that I need so I 100% agree
with you all right we are on our last
one sorry I am like I said I'm still
dealing with this crud but hopefully
hopefully I'll be doing better soon
enough
oh righty okay so as funny as it is I am
reading another one from Diana from it's
my party and a crime a blog to crime oh
yeah my voice is really not good anyways
let's continue I absolutely love your
energy and positivity Amy thank you I've
said it from day one and I will never
get tired of telling you how great of a
person I think you are you are sweet
kind uplifting all with an awesome
attitude truly an inspiration to me
since I've started watching you I have
felt more positive than ever and I was
in a pretty bad place but watching you
brightens my day no matter what you're
doing you always do it with a smile and
that to me is a Wednesday beautiful
girly oh thank you so much Diana and
again you guys I apologize if I'm not
responding back to you guys through you
know typing out my messages I am so
sorry I think just doing my tumblers and
stuff have kept me so busy like I'm
trying to figure out scheduling and
stuff that I just kind of gotten a
little bit off-track with being able to
you know respond back to you guys as
quickly as possible and I know that that
is like my ultimate goal and I know that
someone asked me once
for well as your channels growing are
you going to continue to respawn back to
people and my answer was yes and I
continue to hold to that but withholding
to that timing is a little bit on that
on the absence lately hahaha so I that's
why I'm trying to kind of read messages
and so yeah that's why I'm trying to be
able to correspond with you guys through
video so that way then it kind of you
know so anyways thank you so much I
appreciate it Diana you are amazing and
you know I just try to live life the
best I can and I wake up every day
thinking everything that I am able to
breathe another day's worth of air and
you know life could be so much worse and
you know and what life has been worse
and life has been really good and you
just got to take every single day and
its own challenges and just look at all
the positivity of each and everything
because I you know I've been in my dark
places too I've been depressed I've not
been happy with life and you know it
comes to a point where you have to
accept what you can change and what you
can't change roll with it roll with it
and just put a smile on that face of
yours because everybody has a beautiful
smile everybody it doesn't matter if
you're fat skinny old young male female
black white purple green blue Christian
Muslim Jewish Buddhist and all in
between it doesn't matter a smile as a
smile and it can really brighten up
someone's day just seeing that beautiful
smile on every beautiful face so let's
