I really enjoy your slow living videos and offen find myself coming back and watching them multiple times. Thank you for making them.
Hi Erica, yes I enjoy these videos as well, nice to see how other people live simply. Blessings to you.
If you take 100 walks I think I would walk along with you. Would you consider doing that again? I enjoyed your video.
I too have a three ring binder for our recipes. Best tool ever
I love this video. Yes please add it to your rotation. Plus continue with the tips like OJ over strawberries 🍓 and the importance of a simple functioning kitchen
Thank you for the invite into your home. It felt like I needed a cup of coffee for a visit with my friend.
Yes,I would like to see how you stretch your food budget.
Groceries are so expensive right now!
Loved this and would be happy to see more!!
Yes, please. More of these videos. ❤
Love this type of video.
Erica, this was a very enjoyable video to watch. Peaceful and entertaining to watch. Thank you.❤❤❤
Word of the day… calm. 💜 That was a beautiful video, Erica. 🌻🍄
Beautiful video
I loved the video. I love your homey content as well as declutterring and housekeeping advice. Please do more!! Thoroughly Enjoyed this!! 😊🙏👍🍀🌸
This is the way our grandmothers lived everyday. I love this lifestyle and practice it. Thanks for sharing.
That was such a lovely chill video. Thank you so much. Have a great week. Mary, Joes wife 🙇♀️👏👍💪🙏💐
❤❤❤❤❤❤ s'il te plaît
We live the same life, I am constantly cutting veggies, being a vegan it seems that’s all I do…
Thanks for the tip about the strawberries
Now I want carrots and dip 😂
Very calming. Thank you for sharing. I-love all of your content.
Such a calming and relaxing video. I enjoyed watching. Nice to see you making simple things like broth to support your cost saving recipes.
This a lovely relaxing g video💕
Awesome that your kids like soup. Most do not and it's such a great cost effective meal.
U$300 per week for a family of five and 2 dogs. Ouch pretty expensive in the US
You are so efficient but I guess there's some planning behind it.
Such a lovely video 😍 Do you use organic veg for your broth? I'm never sure whether that's necessary (it's sooo expensive) or not. I'm trying to avoid food waste also – the strawberry tops make really yummy cold water when infused in it!
I need to get better at meal prepping.
Thank you Erica for being YOU ❤. You are ME. Our lives are not always perfect but YOU the person are very close to perfect. So try not to doubt yourself and be proud of the special person God has sent to us to teach many things and help us stay calm and faithful. You have saved my life. My mental health. You help me be calm. You teach me to persevere even when things are so insurmountable. When you get frustrated with yourself you act just like me but what I'm learning from you is the part after that. To be kind to myself. Have a can do attitude and just keep moving forward. So thank you thank you thank you. You have saved my life in several ways and my family is better for that.
In regards to your mother and brother I'm so sorry you have to go thru the heartache. But it only hurts because you loved them so hard. You will be calm most days but they will remind you of those good memories every now and then❤. My mother died of brain cancer at 62. I had just had a baby and was close to her. That was 25 years ago but it seems like yesterday. When she reminds me of that love I breathe and think of our good memories and many laughs. It feels a little more bearable each year that passes but the love and memories remain. Thank you for helping me
🍲❤👍
Great video
Lovely video Erica, yes I would love to see more of these. Enjoy your day.
YES to future simple living videos of all kinds…that orange juice trick with strawberries sounds cool, but I tend to go into a cookie monster mode and gobble ALL the strawberries so will likely never have moldy berries 😂
I’m here for the decluttering, but this was great also. Specifically extending your food budget for two days—challenged me to think how I could do the same with what I already have.
I remember all to well military pay. The only good thing was we were stationed in GITMO and they provided housing and utilities except phone and cable. I was a stay at home mom.
Love this and would like to see more videos like this one!
My favorite part of this was when you tied your hair back: we all lose hair every day and keeping it tied when cooking is a guarantee there won’t be any strays in the food! What a peaceful video this was and yes, do more of these especially with the no-lyrics music. Very relaxing. You are my favorite vlogger!
Yes, dear Erica. Your video has done way more than simply show us how to extend your food budget. It's an oasis of calm and hope in this chaotic, even terrifying time. I'm over 80 and have watched you since your earliest videos when you were trying to clear an unimaginable mess. You have come an amazingly long way. And now I think this quiet and calm path, if you choose to take it, can be exactly what we are all craving. All my best wishes as you keep moving forward in life. 😊
Yes, Yes ❤ this reminds me of my mother puttering in the kitchen humming and putting together a stew, or beans! I enjoy when you share your garden or decluttering an area you show us how to be slower and simple in these tasks ❤❤❤
I loved this video. With the music I felt like a kid watching my grandma in the kitchen!! Yeah for slow living and found moments!Thanks for sharing!
I really liked this video! So calming and peaceful while learning more things do more of these please!
I’m not even done with the video and I’m finding it so relaxing. Love the music too and totally love watching you throw the veggie scraps in the pot! I’m thinking, I need to start doing that!
Check out‘Frugal Fit Mom.’ She has some great tips for cutting the grocery budget. 💝
Great video!
I like these videos ❤
Erica, thanks so much for this, it was exactly what I needed.
An idea for you: We make vegetable paste rather then broth. To do this we safe veggies or buy so called "soup veggies" which are pieces of older veggies that the grocery stores combines and sells for cheap. Add salt, let cook, blend et voilà. 😊 Stays good for month because of the salt.
Only downside: If you produce with kids don't let them taste. 😅
Great video! You reminded me to make my own stock!
I LOVE LOVE LOVED this video. I would love more like this. Also, I would be super interested in a list of meals in your monthly menu plan. Is that something you'd be comfortable doing a video on. Meal planning is my biggest struggle. I've tried and failed many times.
