UPDATE! + Livestream day and time! :D

Hello!

I wanted to share my progress and update you on what you can expect in the weeks to come :D

So, I'm finding buying a house across the country during a pandemic makes planning a little tricky... We thought we were going to be closing this last Thursday, and then it got pushed out to the first week of August :P That's the blah news...

The good news is, this leaves me with a minute to film another exclusive episode for you! So I'm thinking I'm going to film how I'm staging and photographing my forest home in CA and giving you all a sneak peak of how the listing will look before it goes live! (We plan to list it the minute we get in the car and leave :D)

I was also thinking, let's do a 'Summer campfire S'mores making' livestream this coming Thursday the 30th at 7:00 PM PST! That way we can snack and chat about this move ;D (I'll post again about this the day before to let you know the ingredients I'll be using) ... I may even work a ghost story into this one...

I hope you all are well and that your homes don't look as crazy as our storage unit currently does! :))

-Christine

UPDATE! + Livestream day and time! :D

Mina Murray

I am indecently excited about seeing this new house of yours. Focusing on nesting has been my #1 coping strategy for this pandemic, and your content is always A+! Wishing you smooth roads, safe harbors, and chilled-out kitties for the move.

Amy Mullen

What time is that EST Please?

Hallie Harmon

How exciting, the adventure has begun in earnest.

Agatha Crookshaw

How crazy exciting!!! So happy for you 🖤🖤🖤

PennySized Dreadfuls

3am for me but, I'll be there!! :-D 🖤🖤🖤

Dave

My aunt lives eight outside St. Louis in New Baden. I'm gonna have to take a trip to Alton next time I go and see her!

Jamie Hostetler

OH YESSS!!! I'd love to hear some ghost stories while making s'mores!

Jamie Hostetler

I saw a sponsored ad on making smores using keebler stripe cookies and my mind is blown. Very excited for the spooky smores livestream and your new journey 🖤

Toni Scarlett

We began packing to move because we were going to be buying a trailer, since we will be moving out of our state in a couple years when my parents move. Things have not gone as planned and we are about to welcome a third child this September, in a VERY small apartment. And I’ve got walls of boxes everywhere right now. My poor kitchen is screaming! I wish my storage unit looked that tidy! My husband did not at all think when he put stuff in there the last time I had him take boxes up. Congrats on getting your house! I hope the move goes smoothly and you get to see so much! If you go through the Saint Louis area, check out Alton, Illinois! It’s “America’s Most Haunted Small Town.” The folks at the Mineral Springs Mall there absolutely LOVE talking about the town and suggesting tours and such.

Kylie Miller

I am so excited for you and your captive. We closed on our new home last week and are moving this Saturday. Right now my house is full of boxes. Really it’s just a labyrinth at this point. It has been way more stressful that I ever expected, but I am so excited to get in the new house and start creating! I may not get to watch the s’mores and ghost stories this Thursday but will definitely watch it over the weekend at some point. Also, try Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups with your s’mores. So good!

Veronica Rohrlack

Even your storage space is to die for. I’d live there lol

Rachael

Your mate on the couch has been waiting a while 🤪

Ratchel McMahon

So excited! I can’t wait to see what house you bought! Also, s’mores is the only reason I like summertime! That and all the summer thunderstorms we’ve been having! Idk if I’m the only one here who does this, but every time we have a thunderstorm (I live in South Jersey) I sit down in my bed with my little quilt I’m currently sewing and put on episodes from christine’s Patreon or sometimes the Netflix special. It’s my fav time!

Brittany Bedwell

I just moved from Los Angeles, CA to Lancaster PA! My Husband and I drove the whole entire way and camped out in our car. Have fun! There's been plenty of summer thunder storms, you'll love it on the East Coast! <3

Katie

I’m so excited!!!

Mychelle stovall

love this idea! how funny is it as soon as I move out west, you're moving out east!

Katie

You're a lite packer :D

Sophia Z

So exciting! Can’t wait to see this new chapter of your life. Congratulations! 🍾

Rebecca Valentine

Ahhhhh so exciting!!! I can’t wait!

Auobunny

I cannot wait for the new house and the new episode!!🖤🖤

Emily N

Perfect, because I have smore ingredients right now. 😆

Brooke Atkinson

I keep telling myself this is the forever home and we won’t have to do this ever again!! :D

Mandy Spitzer

Congratulations!!! ...and I hope you find those kitties ;D It's so much more stressful than I expected!

Christine McConnell

Our closing was pushed 2 weeks also! But it ended up great! The movers come tomorrow, I’ve lost 2 cats to the mountain of boxes in the dinning room! Haha

Mandy Spitzer

I'm so excited for you, and for us fans being able to follow along. It's such fun watching how successful you are becoming due to all this incredible work you do. I've never seen a more dedicated person with so many talents all wrapped intoone stunning young lady.

Belle Summer

Absolutely can’t wait 😁🖤🕷🕸🕯

Lucy Louise

CANNOT WAIT!!

Paige Phoa

I am excited! Congrats!

Jessica Harmsworth

Can't wait to see the listing! Looking forward to your next adventure! My husband and I are currently looking for a home a little more remote than where we are now... can't wait to get decorating once we've found it!

Marie Nemirovsky

I can't believe I'm sad that you're leaving that beautiful house but I'm so excited about the new one! I hope it will be hauntingly beautiful.

Sarah Cortez

Love s'mores. I used to have "camp ins" with my daughters when they were young. Since we lived in an apartment we'd sit on the floor around the oil lamp, heat up our s'mores (made with marshmallow cream since we're vegetarians) via spaghetti tons over the lamp ha-ha and I'd tell them ghost stories from "Scary Stories You Tell in the Dark". They loved it! My daughter Jaedyn is continuing the tradition she said when her kids are old enough.

Tricia Slone

I'm SO excited about the new house even though I'll never get to actually be in it! 😂In a weird kind of way it feels like we're all moving to the new house!

Ira

I’m so excited for you! Moving is rough but exciting too. Lots of hard work but it’s going to be fabulous! See you Thursday 👏🏻

Gina Radford

Awesome idea!! Can't wait for the livestream, but sorry about the wait! My sister just sold her house and the pandemic did a number on her timetable as well (as if selling / buying a house couldn't already be a challenge). "Dandies" brand makes a great vegan marshmellow and "Enjoy Life" does the best milk chocolate vegan substitute I've tried! 👍

Haley Padgett

How insanely exciting. You must be on a permanent adrenaline high. It's all happening, congratulations!! I've never had smores, I live in Australia, so it's not something we do here, but I have to burn downed tress before summer hits, for safety reasons, so I might give the a go if I can find vegan marshmallows. So excited to see your new home xx

Liana Palumbo

Wonderful! Can’t wait!🤩

Tammy Robinson

Yay! Can't wait! I see you are bringing your "snake couch". I'm so happy to see it! Can't wait to see what else you brought. I'm guessing-your tv cabinet? I will be watching on Thursday!

Krista C

What a treat!!!

Kym Storms

You have to start watching it here, and then you have to click in the bottom right where it says "Youtube" to be in the conversation. But if you're watching on your phone apparently you have to do something different. The conversation is on Youtube Unlisted.

Aunt Debbie Halloween

i am very excited! Thank you for always giving me something to look forward to and to enjoy :>

Julie

Yay! Live stream on my birthday!

Shannon Hogue

Thank you!! The big 38 🤩!!! Happy birthday to you too!!!

Beth Grixti

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!! :D

Christine McConnell

I've NEVER heard of doing this and it sounds AMAZING! I can't wait to try it! :))

Christine McConnell

Mine was the 15th!! We can celebrate birthdays together!! Wooohooo!

Beth Grixti

It's the 29th! So just one day after :D

Christine McConnell

Yay! We packed away nearly all of the craft/hobby entertainment stuff away in storage and the house is still furnished with things we aren't taking, so it's kind of like living at a vacation house at the moment. I can't wait to start the road trip part though! It's going t be super fun!

Christine McConnell

Isn’t that your birthday?

Beth Grixti

Thanks for update. So happy for you!!! 🖤

Carla Perea Seminaro

For anyone who seen it live and now how to comment so she sees it please last post i could it but she never saw it and I’m know I’m not alone.

Dayana Alvarado

Yippee! Congratulations to you and your captured companion. It would be wonderful to receive tips on how to stage. I sew and do lots of crafts and my staging techniques are just a black board and a camera. Anything you can offer would be greatly appreciated. Pack with care, label every box, and if possible, make list of what's in every box. Safe and happy travels!

Eleanor L Piper

That sounds like a fun livestream! But I'm sorry that your closing was put off. So is all of your stuff in storage? Are you living in sleeping bags and folding chairs?

Aunt Debbie Halloween

Awww, hell! I have to work Thursday. Oh, well, at least I have something to watch while I drink my coffee Friday morning. Happy travels and best wishes!

Angela White

Sooo excited for the house!!!! It sounds like a dream!

Ashley Ross

How exciting! I’m glad we get a live with you and I do love s’mores!

Liv

Sounds like a plan! I use peanut butter with my smores! Give it a try!

Jackie Adair

So excited for you guys! Also, my house looks so much worse! My husband and I took the long, beautiful, road less traveled road trip to see his parents and ended up coming home with all kind of family pieces from the early 1900s. I fear it may take weeks to recover from all the reorganization. But, it's sooo worth it to have a house full of family history. All the best wishes and safe travels to you!

Courtney & Paul Voorheis

AH! This sounds amazing!! Thank you for the update! I wish you all the luck in the world with planning this grand adventure!

A.M. McPherson

Thank you for the update Christine! My son is going to be so excited when I tell him we're having smores with you! Also, I do like the idea mentioned in one of the comments above, about your equipment for livestreaming. I teach a class here and there and I'd love to figure out how to get the right setup. Also, the house news is so exciting! I hope things aren't too difficult and that you at least get to enjoy this process a bit. The destination may be the exciting part, but never forget, and always appreciate, the journey. I have been so inspired by everything you do, and I'm currently in the process of remodeling my apartment for a more vintage and cozy feel. I am turning my giant living room into two sections: a cozy parlor with a fireplace, and a vintage study (which I know were more for gentlemen but I'm a writer so I need an office lol) with specimens and my vivarium for my snake. I'm doing it in a dark cherry wood finish (for everything) and dark damask furniture covers. I just need to pick paint and I'll be all set. But I really hope to share my befores and afters in you facebook fan club groups lol Anyway, please remember to breathe, relax, and enjoy the ride to your new home sweet haunted home!
