I loved the pace of this video. It was a get it all done, but it felt calm and soothing instead of rushed and stressed 🥰

[aliciarobinson]

I can tell this video is a change in pace for you! Definitely a different vibe from all the previous videos! Makes me want to slow down and appreciate everything!

I separate work (at home) and home life by separating them mentally. (1) no personal calls and I keep a notebook for any personal things I need to do (like what some keep beside their bed) = less distractions, (2) I do my hair, light makeup and wear a nice work top during my work hours (Ready for surprise FaceTime, too), (3) at lunch, I return personal calls and may start crockpot meal but nothing time consuming. (4) I set blocks of time for my tasks. 2 hours X, 1 hour Y, 3 hours Z, 1 hour review my day/week and prioritize future tasks, etc. Some blocks have specific times and other blocks float but all work must be done before 4pm. My me-time 30+ min must be done by bedtime, sometimes it is a nap or going to bed early. I have two social blocks a week to speak with friends in person or not. Friendships are important. (5) One day a week is a half day. I only run errands, shop and have non-business appointments on my weekly half day. No more trying to fill a void by shopping.

Creative burn out is a real thing, Be kind to yourself.
I just want to say you have taught me so much and I’ve made so many of your recipes so thank you for what you do 😊

I really enjoyed this video and the calming pace you set. ADHD as a homemaker is a bumpy, windy journey!

[nel-aka-birdlover]

Gosh you sound so calm and rested and full of peace. You've been missed 🧡 welcome back and thank you for always showing the real stuff and being vulnerable.

[bethbrown]

So glad you’re back! Missed you. Your voice sounds so calm and I can tell the break did you well. 🥰 So happy for you!

[pattyadams]

Glad you’re back! You can definitely tell that you are rested and recharged and that a calmness has come over you. When you were talking about the family dinner it made me think back to earlier years when mine we’re running here and there. As I am coming up on my 60th birthday I would like to say to young moms. Don’t get on that fast moving train of constant chaos with over scheduling your children. It’s not worth the time you miss out on as a family.

I notice you are so relaxed and grateful! Good vibes. I love your video's of American life . I live in Holland . Thank you so much ❤❤❤

[tiffanymengor]

I have missed you lots but I’m so glad that you got the time that you needed. You looked refreshed

[kristivella]

This is my first video I have watched since right before you went on your break. Life is been so crazy. I really like how you did this video. So glad your back.

[jenniferalt]

I completely agree about the pace of this video and feel like ive learned and been inspired so much!! Thank you for being so real and sharing your anxiety, Adhd, and SAHM/boss life. Makes me feel like im not alone!!!

[sandylee]

I am so glad you were able to take that time off to rejuvenate yourself. As the wife of an ADHD husband for 35 years, I can relate to your challenges. Since we retired I had gotten out of the habit of planning and making lists and both of us have gotten a little lost and the house has become a cluttered mess. I'm glad I got to spend an abbreviated day with you.

[hillaryenloe]

So happy you are back, but I would be here no matter what - glad you took time for you! You are a blessing!
I loved your lives in December too ❤️

[tammyr]

This was so peaceful and calming to watch. It reminded me to slow down and take things one at a time. I never used to have ADHD, but as I’ve gotten older, after some traumatic incidents in life, I now have ADHD. I am trying to slow down and focus. You have me some great ideas! As I am always, all over the place with projects and can’t seem to complete them all! Your bread and dinner looked delicious and your decor is beautiful! I know routines help a lot, which I am trying to do. I love the baskets, to organize projects! Thanks for a calming, beautiful video!

[Uni_melody]

I'm so happy you are back! I noticed It's like all youtube took a break lol well almost every content creature I watch. But I'm all for rest and relaxation! I hope you had a great break and you can pace yourself and not get burnt out. Definitely don't want that ❤❤

[bkj]

I am so very happy, that you are back!!! Love you lots!! Always take care of yourself first!!

[yoursroxanica]

I so love that you are back! Love the new slow and pace vibe.

[RiasWorldofIdeas]

I love the ideas for organizing your YouTube video and ideas. I struggle with keeping my YouTube video ideas and notes organized and I think this system you shared will me perfect for me! Thank you so much for the idea! Also glad to see you back!
