Transcript
- 0:00Speaker 2: Hello, and welcome to the Christian homemaking
- 0:02podcast, Simply Convivial.
- 0:04I'm Misty Winkler, homemaker, homeschooling mom of five, grandma, and
- 0:08author of the book Home is for Hospitality
- 0:12why your home and homemaking matter.
- 0:14Convivial means living together with joy, and that's the kind of home atmosphere
- 0:20that we want to create in our homes.
- 0:22That's why I run Convivial Circle, a community helping women to excel at
- 0:26homemaking and do life cheerfully.
- 0:29And today I'm joined by one of our members inside Convivial Circle, Victoria.
- 0:33Victoria is a Christian wife and mom who's been married to her
- 0:36husband, George, for 20 years.
- 0:39They currently have eight kids ranging in age from one to 14
- 0:44they spend most of their days growing together in their faith,
- 0:47homeschooling Charlotte Mason style, and spending time with family.
- 0:51They have a chubby orange cat, a working line- ⦠German shepherd,
- 0:56and Victoria has recently taken on the surprising vocation of, I don't
- 1:00know if I'm gonna say this right-
- 1:02Speaker 3: No, you're gonna go for it ⦠Schutzhund?
- 1:02I think it's Schutzhund.
- 1:04It, they also call it IGP, so either one.
- 1:06Speaker 2: Okay.
- 1:07Schutzhund trainer.
- 1:08Yes.
- 1:08So it's a new puppy?
- 1:10Speaker 3: Um, new-ish, yes.
- 1:11Yeah.
- 1:12We got him when, eight weeks before I had my baby.
- 1:14Speaker 2: All right.
- 1:15Wow.
- 1:15Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah.
- 1:16That's intense.
- 1:16Go big or go home, yes.
- 1:18Yeah.
- 1:19Speaker 2: Well, thank you so much for joining me today.
- 1:22Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 1:23Speaker 2: So you've been in, a member inside Convivial Circle
- 1:26off and on for a few years.
- 1:28Mm-hmm.
- 1:28And I'd love for you to tell us a bit about what made you join the first
- 1:33time a few years ago- Mm-hmm ⦠and then quit, which is totally fine.
- 1:37Mm-hmm, yeah.
- 1:37And I think that a lot of women will relate to that.
- 1:40Mm-hmm.
- 1:40And, um, I know you have a few, some definite helpful things to share.
- 1:45Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 1:45So, um, when I joined in, um, we live in the northeast so the weather gets really
- 1:51nasty in, like, the January-ish timeframe.
- 1:53And, um, I'd had baby number seven in June, the end of June the
- 1:59previous year, and our homeschooling had been super inconsistent.
- 2:04Um, we started with the Abeka, and then we moved to kind ofâ¦
- 2:08I don't remember if we had moved to Charlotte Mason yet.
- 2:10I think we had tried Charlotte Mason.
- 2:12And, um, I realized that we were having a lot of problems,
- 2:16especially with my one son.
- 2:18Um, and so we tried Abeka again during my pregnancy 'cause I was
- 2:21like, "Oh, we need to get this right."
- 2:23And so kind of have this new baby, school is feeling a little all over the place.
- 2:28I'm not sure what's going on.
- 2:30Side note, that fast-forward, like, a year later, we found out my oldest
- 2:34three, um, deal with dyslexia, and I did not know because it's the oldest three.
- 2:40So I thought from the get-go, this is the way kids learn to read.
- 2:43And I was always an avid reader, my kids weren't, and I just figured,
- 2:46you know, everybody's different.
- 2:48Um, but my third deals with dyslexia severely to profoundly,
- 2:53so, like, we were going nowhere.
- 2:55Um, so anyways, just to kinda set the scene, I'm kind of in
- 2:58this, like, feeling s- feeling messy, it's feeling overwhelming.
- 3:03Um, and I can't remember if I heard about you through Pam Barnhill or
- 3:06I get a lot of my, like, homeschool inspiration through YouTube.
- 3:09Found out about you, and I thought, "Okay, I'm gonna give this a go.
- 3:12I'm gonna get things organized.
- 3:13We're gonna get things, you know, down pat and flowing."
- 3:16And I am an overanalyzer, and Iâ¦
- 3:21Pretty sure I'm, like, a, a, not a super perfectionist.
- 3:23I am such a bad perfectionist I didn't think I was a perfectionist.
- 3:27Um, and I was getting tripped up over a lot of the things, like the brain dumps.
- 3:32Like, am I doing this right?
- 3:33And I just, I really wanted these systems 'cause I wanted, you know, to
- 3:36get things in order around my house.
- 3:39Um, and I kept getting tripped up.
- 3:42And my husband's like, "You know what?"
- 3:43He's like, "If this is causing you, like, more stress than it is, you know,
- 3:48helping you, like, things are okay.
- 3:49Like, you know," He's like, "You do a good job.
- 3:51Like, just put it to the side."
- 3:53And I was like, "Okay."
- 3:54And again, though, my focus was get me a system, get me up and running,
- 3:59tell me what I need to do that I already don't know how to do.
- 4:02Um, and I was finding, like, a lot ofâ¦
- 4:04I did sweep and smile, but, like, on my own.
- 4:07And, um, I didn't join, like, SOCC or I forget the other group, um,
- 4:11the one that, like, runs in tandem.
- 4:13I was just kind of doing it on my own, and I felt like a lot of these things I
- 4:15already have in place or know how to do.
- 4:18And it's funny because a lot of your videos where you talked about heart
- 4:22issues, in my head, I was just kind of like, "Yeah, I don't, you know, I
- 4:26don't know why she's talking about that.
- 4:27Just, like, show me what I need to do."
- 4:29And in retrospect, I was like, "Those are the ones I actually needed to listen to."
- 4:32Um, so I dropped out.
- 4:35And fast-forward, um, through that year, we kind of got
- 4:39school underway and in line.
- 4:41Praise the Lord.
- 4:41Got some things kind of working there.
- 4:44Um, then we're into, like, 2025.
- 4:47I had a baby in, at the end of August, and things were, were going well.
- 4:52Like, I wasn'tâ¦
- 4:54I was dealing with a little bit of overwhelm from time to
- 4:56time, um, but not horrible.
- 4:59And something that-
- 5:00Speaker 2: It would be amazing if a homeschool mom of eight didn't
- 5:03feel some overwhelm sometimes.
- 5:06Speaker 3: Well, you know, it's funny.
- 5:07I don't know.
- 5:08I had, like, much more of a peace.
- 5:09Like, oh, and we did a- a- add in the dog, who, by the way, at first, we thought
- 5:14was, like, a complete mistake 'cause he started, like, nipping at our children.
- 5:17Um, long story, but it was kind of my husband's idea to get a
- 5:21dog, and we didn't want aâ¦
- 5:23We wanted to be careful with the breeding because, you know, German shepherds
- 5:26can have a lot of health issues.
- 5:28And he got a working line German shepherd, which is, like, what
- 5:32the police use for their dogs.
- 5:34Like, he's, like, a, he could be bred to be, like, a police dog, which is great,
- 5:38and it doesn't mean he's aggressive.
- 5:40It means he needs a job, and he needs to be busy, and he's
- 5:43like a really smart toddler boy.
- 5:45And so he was, like, nipping my toddler boy, so we even have a picture of, likeâ¦
- 5:49I took the picture, mom moment, but, like, the child was fine, the dog was
- 5:53fine, of, like, three of my kids holding the dog, and the dog literally has the
- 5:57rear end seat of my son's pajama pants, and he's, like, pulling, kind of likeâ¦
- 6:01And it's like, this was my life.
- 6:02But, uh, surprisingly, I felt relaxed.
- 6:05Um, or not relaxed.
- 6:05I was doing okay.
- 6:07So yeah, all these moving pieces.
- 6:09Um, but again, I felt pretty okay, but also, the other thing kind of going
- 6:15along in tandem in terms of wanting to get our homeschool consistent
- 6:18and whatnot was I followed some different people on YouTube, and they
- 6:22always talked about, not fellowship.
- 6:24It is fellowship.
- 6:25But, um, I listened to your most recent video where you talked about homeschool,
- 6:28so that's what I'm thinking of.
- 6:29But, like, connecting with your children, right?
- 6:31Having that connection connection, and that's what I really wanted,
- 6:34and that's why we dropped the Abeka individual video school and
- 6:38went Charlotte Mason and all this.
- 6:40Um- And really at one point too, along the line, the Lord
- 6:44had shown me I'm a list person.
- 6:46Like, before having kids, I was a project manager at a software
- 6:49company, and I used to joke, "Oh, that was a perfect, like, intro to
- 6:53me because now I'm managing people."
- 6:55But the thing is, people aren't like, like clients and aren't like companies.
- 7:00And so I was good at managing to-do lists, but children aren't to-do lists.
- 7:04And that sounds really, like, harsh, but, like, in my mind, I was just kinda
- 7:08like, you know, this is what we do.
- 7:09So all this is kinda swirling around, like connection, and I felt like
- 7:12the Lord was showing me I needed to see people and not checklists.
- 7:16Um, and somewhere along the line, I wasâ¦
- 7:19I listen to a lot of stuff on, um, YouTube.
- 7:22It's kinda like I just like to have something kinda going in the background
- 7:25while I'm doing, like, chores and stuff.
- 7:28And I remember I was, like, sitting in the laundry room, and I heard your-
- 7:34one of your clips where you talked about organizing your attitude, and
- 7:37you said, "Tell yourself a true story," and I was like, "Oh, my goodness."
- 7:41And it just, again, like, I remember where I was when I heard it, and it
- 7:45made me think so- about so many of the things in my life, like my marriage,
- 7:49my kids, everything that I was looking at from a negative, "Oh, my goodness,
- 7:54poor me, I'm so overwhelmed," da, da, da, da, da, and it completely,
- 8:00um, just reframed it all for me.
- 8:03And so I listened to a couple more episodes, and I started saving them
- 8:06because I was like, "Wow, these are really, like, convicting."
- 8:08And, um, I talked to my husband.
- 8:10I was like, "Remember that, like, homeschooling," not homeschooling,
- 8:12"like, homemaking group I was in?"
- 8:13I was like, "I think I might join it again," and, you know, I
- 8:17was like, "Okay, I'm just gonna take a stab at it," and I did.
- 8:20Um, and I joined in December, where we were talking aboutâ¦
- 8:24Not renew.
- 8:25Renew was my word of the year.
- 8:27Mm.
- 8:27What's the December- Ready
- 8:27Speaker 2: five?
- 8:28Speaker 3: Ready five, yes.
- 8:30And again, a lot of that is like, you know, look at the past year, um, you
- 8:35know, look at it as, like, a true story and, you know, how do you look at things?
- 8:41And that really, I was like, "I need to be doing this," and that's kinda where
- 8:45I picked the ball back up, so to speak.
- 8:48So- Yeah.
- 8:50Speaker 2: Uh, that's so great.
- 8:52Well- Yeah ⦠but even though the first time, you still did do quite a
- 8:56bit, and you picked up- A little bit,
- 8:58Speaker 3: yeah
- 8:58⦠Speaker 2: on the alignment card piece.
- 9:00Speaker 3: Oh, yes, I did.
- 9:03And I know you added- Oh, yes ⦠to it.
- 9:03Sorry.
- 9:03So, yeah.
- 9:03Yes, exactly.
- 9:04Well, I did, but I didn't, 'cause I was likeâ¦
- 9:06It's funny because the, umâ¦
- 9:09We're nondenominational, but a lot of the teaching we listen to is always
- 9:13about, you know, what does the Word say?
- 9:15What does the Word say?
- 9:15And that's what I tell my kids.
- 9:16Like, well for instance, when my son, when they gave him the dyslexia diagnosis
- 9:20of severe to profound, and heâ¦
- 9:22I can't rem- can't remember what he said aboutâ¦
- 9:25You know, he was obviously like bummed out, and I was like, "Honey,"
- 9:28I was like, "you are not dyslexia.
- 9:29You are a child of God.
- 9:30You can do all things through Christ."
- 9:31So I'm doing this with my kids, but I wasn't really doing it with myself.
- 9:37Mm.
- 9:37Um, so I did though, to your point, briefly, and it is so sad and like
- 9:42faded looking, it's like a smudge, but um, this is my 2023 alignment card.
- 9:48Um, I did pick up on that the first time in Convivio, and because I think, umâ¦
- 9:53What's like the intro course, Homemaking 101?
- 9:56Speaker 2: Yep.
- 9:57Speaker 3: Think you briefly touch on it in there, 'cause I did
- 9:59Homemaking 101 and Speak and Smile.
- 10:01So I went on Etsy.
- 10:02Again, it was like gross here, and I was feeling super overwhelmed,
- 10:05and I really picked up on that.
- 10:07Like, I need something, I look at the back of my phone all the time, I need
- 10:10something to get my thoughts right.
- 10:12And I got, um, "God is within her, she will not fall."
- 10:16Mm.
- 10:16And, um, I just put it like inside the phone case, and
- 10:19it's been there ever since.
- 10:20And I was actually thinking of ordering a new one, 'cause again, it's like-
- 10:23you know, it's a smudge.
- 10:24It's sad.
- 10:25But I've still like looked at it ever since, and then I was going through kind
- 10:30of like another rough period not too long after that, and my husband told meâ¦
- 10:34Hmm, I can't remember which part of the verse, but I think it was the
- 10:38one about, um, maybe joyful and hope.
- 10:41So, and I'mâ¦
- 10:43But I do know a lot more verses than I'mâ¦
- 10:45This is horrible.
- 10:46I can't ever remember this one, maybe because it's on my phone, but it's like
- 10:49Romans 12:12, "Be joyful in hope, patient in affliction, faithful in prayer."
- 10:53And I was able to squeeze that one on the back too.
- 10:56So yeah.
- 10:57So that's where I started, and so even though I left, um, and now I have a lot
- 11:01more alignment cards, that one has stayed.
- 11:04Mm.
- 11:04It kinda remains, so.
- 11:06Speaker 2: I love that as a spot for an alignment card, you know,
- 11:09something that you ac- Yeah ⦠have with you everywhere you go.
- 11:12Yes, yes.
- 11:13So you can always flip it over and see it.
- 11:16Speaker 3: Yes, exactly.
- 11:17Exactly, yeah.
- 11:18Absolutely.
- 11:18Speaker 2: And so those were custom-made stickers, or you just found-
- 11:21Speaker 3: Yes ⦠a sticker with that on?
- 11:22No, I just, um, I think I lookedâ¦
- 11:27Oh, geez, it's been a while.
- 11:28But I think the "God is within her, she will not fall," I used to
- 11:31think it was fail, but I believe it is fall, 'cause he's obviously
- 11:33talking about, um, Jerusalem.
- 11:35But I'm pretty sure that one I looked up the verse specifically and I found
- 11:39a sticker, and then same thing with the other one, I looked up the verse
- 11:41on Etsy, like you know, a sticker for this verse, and it came up, so.
- 11:45Speaker 2: Awesome.
- 11:45Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 11:46Yes.
- 11:48Speaker 2: And so then maybe you could explain how that works or how that helps
- 11:53to people who, where this is a new idea.
- 11:55Speaker 3: Yes, absolutely.
- 11:57So, um, again, I do it with my kids a lot.
- 12:00Um, we'll go back to the example of my son with the dyslexia.
- 12:04You know, I think when somebodyâ¦
- 12:07And this is where I've really struggled, um, and this is, you know, everybody
- 12:11has their own path, and they have to, you know, be led to the Lord themselves.
- 12:14But when, you know, we found out my kids were dealing with dyslexia, I was
- 12:19kind of like, like, no, this is not, like, a sentence on them, or this is
- 12:23not, um, we're not gonna, like, camp out here, if that makes sense, you know?
- 12:28And so that whole idea that when you're faced with a challenge or we'll go
- 12:32back to, like, um, when I rejoined Convefeel and started listening to all,
- 12:37um, your Organize Your Attitude, uh, videos I would deal with an anxiety
- 12:41or a worry, and it's like, okay, what does, what does the word say about this?
- 12:44You know, I feel this way, I'm afraid this might happen,
- 12:47but what does God have to say?
- 12:48Or, um, do you want me to go into telling myself a true story a little bit or
- 12:52stay in the- Yeah, that'd be great.
- 12:53Yeah ⦠Yeah.
- 12:54So unless, let's pick on my husband.
- 12:57You know, my husband, he never thinks of me, and this is gonna sound
- 13:00silly, but this is, like, a recent thing 'cause it gets me every time.
- 13:04I've been getting my nails done recently.
- 13:05I have, like, really horrible, like, real nails.
- 13:07Like, they crumble, right?
- 13:08They'reâ¦
- 13:09I'm a mom, like, they're gross.
- 13:11So I've been getting acrylic nails, so I'll be like, "Ugh,
- 13:13my husband doesn't ever care.
- 13:14He doesn't ever think about me."
- 13:15And I'll look down, I'll be like, "Mm, he sends me to get
- 13:17my nails done from time to time.
- 13:19Like, he wants me to do this for myself.
- 13:20Maybe he actually does care."
- 13:22But, you know, just that whole, um, wake-up call.
- 13:25And I think there's more than one way to go about it.
- 13:29Um, again, definitely, like, as Christians, you know, scripture is huge.
- 13:32And back to the example of my son, like, we can't go withâ¦
- 13:38We definitely can't go with our feelings.
- 13:39You know, feelings can be reallyâ¦
- 13:41I like Priscilla Shirer.
- 13:42Um, I've done a couple of her Bible studies.
- 13:44And I think in one of them she's like, "Feelings are stupid."
- 13:47And granted, good feelings, you know, love, joy, peace, you know,
- 13:51happiness, that's more of a feeling.
- 13:52But yeah, feelings can be great, but they're usually not very smart.
- 13:57That was her point.
- 13:58Mm-hmm.
- 13:58Like, they can lead you in a bad direction if you just take
- 14:01your feelings and run with them.
- 14:02So if somebody says, "Well, you know, you deal with dyslexia," um, you could
- 14:07get really bummed out and say, "Well, I guess I'm working at McDonald's for
- 14:10the rest of my life, and, you know, I guess this is the path I have," or you
- 14:14can look at the word and says, and say, "I can do all things through Christ.
- 14:17And, you know, again, I'm a child of God.
- 14:19I'm not this diagnosis or I'm not this, like, you know, definition."
- 14:24Um, you know, again, with things in the home, I know my pregnancy with my eighth,
- 14:28I was super sick, and I was convinced she was gonna be really large and a
- 14:32boy, and she was a she, and she was ve- like, smaller compared to my other kids.
- 14:36But I was super sick.
- 14:38Um, and you know, just that, like, debilitating nausea where you're like,
- 14:41"Ugh, I can't even, like, function."
- 14:43And it's like, yes, I feel this way, but you know what?
- 14:46I can do all things through Christ.
- 14:47That was, like, my first trimester alignment card to myself.
- 14:50Um, so yeah, those areâ¦
- 14:53And again, you know, telling yourself a true story, just reallyâ¦
- 14:56We were talking, I was talking to my kids about this recently too, and it's so
- 14:59funny how I feel like the Lord uses what they're dealing with, and a lot of times
- 15:03it's similar to what you're dealing with.
- 15:04Yes.
- 15:04And it's like he's showing you, like, "Hey."
- 15:07Rachel Carman, by the way, the lady that does Apologia,
- 15:09actually has a book on that.
- 15:11I got it for free because, like, I ordered, I forget how much, science
- 15:15curriculum, and it's called, I think it's called What Did I Say?
- 15:18But it's actually a devotional, and she goes through that very thing.
- 15:21Oh.
- 15:21Like, the things that we're telling our kids that the Lord is actually telling us.
- 15:25So it's really good.
- 15:26Um- But anyway, yeah, just the idea that, um, like for my kids, um, you
- 15:32know, "Man, I have all this schoolwork.
- 15:34I don't wanna do the schoolwork."
- 15:35And I'm like, "Honey, you know, schoolwork is a blessing.
- 15:37Like, work is a blessing.
- 15:38Like, your dad goes to work, and he works really hard, but he's able to
- 15:42provide a house for us to live in, and, you know, we have food to eat,
- 15:45and you're able to go and do things."
- 15:46Or, so again, it's just stepping back from your feelings and not only aligning
- 15:51them with truth and God's truth, but then also taking an objective look
- 15:55at what your situation really is.
- 15:58Because so many times, I think especially as stay-at-home moms,
- 16:01you're just in your head all day.
- 16:02Speaker 2: Mm-hmm.
- 16:03Speaker 3: Um, and it's really easy to believe lies that kind of
- 16:07get, you know, tossed your way.
- 16:10So- Yeah.
- 16:11Yes.
- 16:12Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 16:12Oh, that's so great
- 16:14Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 16:15It'sâ¦
- 16:15And especially add in you're tired or, you know, there's a lot
- 16:19of noise or, you know, whatever.
- 16:22And, um, I love the story about, I think it was John andâ¦
- 16:26Was it Charles Wesley?
- 16:27His brother.
- 16:28Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 16:28Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah.
- 16:28Okay.
- 16:29Yeah.
- 16:29Their mother used to throw her apron over her head
- 16:32Speaker 2: Yes.
- 16:32Speaker 3: And, yeah, and pray, and that is so good because that is so true.
- 16:37Like, as moms, we're busy.
- 16:38There'sâ¦
- 16:38And I have to watch myself, 'cause sometimes I can get snippy about
- 16:41it, but I'll be like, "Guys, Mommy needs a minute just to think."
- 16:44And literally, like, sometimes you need a minute to say, "Okay,
- 16:47like, what is really going on here?
- 16:48Like, I'm feeling overwhelmed, things feel loud, things feel this way and that,
- 16:52but, you know, praise the Lord, I have children in my home that love me, and,
- 16:55you know, what is the true situation?"
- 16:57So I think we all need to do that, like, throwing our apron over our head moment,
- 17:01and whether it's pray or, you know, lean on a verse or just be objective
- 17:06about our situation, it's so important.
- 17:08It's crucial.
- 17:10Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 17:10Yeah.
- 17:11Some trigger, like the alignment card can be a visual-
- 17:14Mm-hmm ⦠thing to latch onto.
- 17:15Yes Or that apron over your head as just a rem- like, "Okay, I am reframing."
- 17:22Speaker 3: Yes.
- 17:22I jokeâ¦
- 17:23I was reading a devotional, or, um, no, it wasn't a devotional.
- 17:28Forget.
- 17:28The lady that wrote, umâ¦
- 17:30Oh, Charlotte Ma- not a Charlotte Mason companion.
- 17:32Karen Glass.
- 17:33I think it was Karen Glass.
- 17:34No, another lady.
- 17:35Bowden.
- 17:35Leah Bowden.
- 17:36I forget the name of the book.
- 17:37Anyways, it was a Charlotte Mason book.
- 17:39But she was talking about her, like, mom sanctuary, and granted, like, she's an
- 17:42older mother, like, her kids are grown, and so she's got a little more buffer.
- 17:45She's talking about, like, her pretty chair with, like, the blanket and this
- 17:48and that, and I'm really close with my niece, and I texted her one day,
- 17:52I was like, "My laundry room is my sanctuary," 'cause I literally haveâ¦
- 17:55But I don't have the, um, washer and dryer on, like, the risers,
- 17:58so they're, like, low, so I have a stool on the floor, and especially,
- 18:01like, in pregnancy, I can, like, sit myself down and switch the laundry.
- 18:04And sometimes I'llâ¦
- 18:05It has a door, so, like, I'll just sit there and I'll shut the
- 18:07door, and then it's like- Yeah
- 18:09I even sent her a picture one time, like, from, from my view.
- 18:11I was like, "This is my sanctuary moment," you know?
- 18:14Yeah.
- 18:15Maybe I should hang some alignment cards in my laundry room.
- 18:17That wouldâ¦
- 18:17I actually do.
- 18:18Oh, my gosh.
- 18:19Unintentionally, um, I had a bunch of, like, scripture-type, um, uh, magnets,
- 18:25and somehow one ended up in the laundry room, so I stuck it on the washer, and
- 18:31I can't remember what it is right now off the top of my head, but it isâ¦
- 18:33it's something encouraging, like, "The Lord is with you" or something, and
- 18:36every once in a while I'll be like, "Oh," you know, 'cause it's right there.
- 18:40So, good alignment card place, though.
- 18:41That would be a good alignment card place.
- 18:43Speaker 2: That is.
- 18:43Even just having a stool right there, I'm like, "Oh, that's smart."
- 18:46Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 18:46It's really nice.
- 18:47You know, but then people take it, 'cause of course, you know, people alwaysâ¦
- 18:50I'm, I'm 5'2", so, like, I'mâ¦
- 18:52We have multiple stools in the house 'cause I need things, and my husband's
- 18:546'5", so that's even more reason.
- 18:56He puts things up high to, like, get out of the way of the kids,
- 18:59and I'm like, "Do you realize now that I also can't access it?"
- 19:02Um, but yeah, my kids take it sometimes, but no, it has to, it has to stay there.
- 19:06I get it back.
- 19:08Speaker 2: But thank you so much, Victoria- Yeah ⦠for coming and sharing
