Oh Claire! I just love you! I’m the one that asked about “if you could tell your younger self anything, what would it be?” I too have struggled with my weight growing up and having the same body issues and feelings as you. I’ve now been married over 25 years with 2 amazing daughters, but wow, did your response really resonate with me! You are beautiful and I love your style. So happy that you now know how worthy of good things you are ❤❤❤
Claire, I am the one who asked about your accent, and thank you so much for answering my question. You are close enough if you are in Michigan to Northern Indiana! I am from downstate Indiana where we sound like we are from the south. Go figure. Sadly I left the Hoosier State and the great North 40 years ago for the Texas Frontera -- the US- Mexico Border. I miss home but you help keep the memories alive for me. I think I'm going to start calling my rice cooker the Claire Risper! ❤Blessings!
Enjoyed this Q&A. You just seem so 'down-to-earth' and fun to be around. I was surprised to hear your comments about Gianni being 'camera shy'. My intro to your channel was your Ninja Cremi vid . . . and I thought your whole family dynamic was fun and magnetic. Since I'm a child of the 50's - I really enjoy your perspective on 'vintage' stuff from my era. So glad that your channel is growing and that we'll have lots more vlogs ahead to enjoy.
Thank you so much for watching! It's funny, I think Gianni is totally fine on camera but he's so self conscious about it! I think that's really why we come across so authentic, that man could not fake it if he tried lol!
What a wonderfully supportive mom to guide you into a career outside the home doing something that is within the realm of something you love. What a gift!
She’s the best! And judging by your profile pic, you should also know she took me to my first Rocky Horror show at a theatre too! We try to go every year 😆
So funny my dogs do the same thing! They get the Zumiez and I have to almost hide because they are totally chaotic. Anyways, I love how you covered their ears when you talked about them they have feelings love love love it.
Have i learned most of these answers from you over the years? Yes! Did i still watch the entire video? Yes! I just adore you and your family and I NEVER miss, maybe late but never miss a video! ❤
Your accent is a lovely bit of home for me. I was born and raised near Chicago, but have moved around to places that don't have our accent. I love listening to you speaking. It's not every word. Just some words have a certain flair and I knew right away that you're near where I grew up. Give your sweet family (including your pooches) big hugs from us and I look forward to your future videos. 😊❤
Thank you so much!! My family absolutely loves a Chicago weekend, we go for Mother's Day every year and the boys spoil me all weekend! I really appreciate you watching and taking the time to leave such a lovely comment!
Hi Claire, thank you for answering me about your cabinets. My 1960 home needs a kitchen makeover and that’s the color I want! By the way, I do not hear an accent at all in you, but I’m in Northern Ohio west of Cleveland. I just love your videos, you are def in my top 3 creators. You and your family are so friendly and natural, you seem like friends I hang out with online ! lol
Suggestions - vintage Boston brown bread. Super easy old quick recipe of my aunts (100 yr old) is Cream of chicken soup on top of toast for quick easy lunch for your son to make. You could add peas.
This was great! I loved hearing your thoughts on the dog grooming because I have been having some dog mom guilt about not grooming my current schnauzer. I’m 52 and my back just won’t let me do it anymore. I always groomed my schnauzers, but I’m having to take this one to a salon and I felt bad about it. But you made me feel better! Thanks. It really does take a toll on you.🥰
Hi Claire Love your channel and so glad you did this Q&A since I'm one of your more recent subscribers the past couple months. You have such a great attitude and personality for content creating and your content is great. Oh, may I add I have no idea whose said you have a thick accent. I never noticed at all you sound "normal" to me. But I'm from the NYC-NJ area so this area is definitely a melting pot. I love pretzels too. I noticed you went to Paris recently. Ive been there several times would be nice to see some casual uploads on that trip. That would be fun aside from all the wonderful cooking videos.
Thank you so much for watching! I sometimes do vlogs when I travel! I did one when we went to Amsterdam last year and there is also one from Naples, and Berlin! I didn't do a full vlog from Paris, but if you check out my UA-cam shorts there are a couple you can see there! My fav of course was the food tour! I tried sooo many amazing things! Also if you follow me on Instagram I have highlights saved from all my travels :) Paris was incredible
@ never been to Naples or Berlin but did just get back from other places in Europe…(in Italy and Belgium) but I liked the food better in Paris. Always wanted to go to Berlin so I’ll definitely check out blogs or shorts. Have a great week.
Hi my Grandma use to clip receipes too and she was a good cook...im glad your so honest about college is not for everyone..I use to love dogs until i got bite by a German Shepherd when young then older a Rockweiler. Take care..
I'm so glad my mom didn't pressure me to go to college when it wasn't working out, I'm going to do the same for my boys too! Skilled trades are so important and can be very lucrative!
Thank you for answering my question about you being the taste tester!! Gianni if I said pretty please would that convince you? You are awesome anytime you make an appearance and I'm not just saying that. And I loved meeting the pups. You covered their ears when you didn't want them to hear you!! I totally would have done the same thing. We ❤❤❤you Sunday and Dancer. 🤣🐶🐶
It's so funny I didn't realize I was doing that with their ears until I was editing it lol. I think we will have something in the works with Gianni and the boys!!!
Greetings, Ms. Chunky - LOLS. I'm joking, of course. I could write a book here. I've been viewing UA-cam videos for about 4 years now. I know my user name says 6 months. I couldn't remember my user name when I lost my phone. You by far are the best channel I've experienced. I subscribe to many. Your personality and spirit are a 'true' gift from above. I truly believe that's why you haven't experienced a lot of nasty people viewing/commenting on your channel. Your inner and outer beauty is very evident. I watched the banana/ham video, and it made my day. It was hilarious 😅. I shout out many blessings to you, your beautiful, loving dogs, kidlets and hubby. Look forward to many more wonderful videos from your channel. Blessings 🙌.
I’m dying at you cover Banjos ears so he doesn’t get hurt feelings 🤣 suggestion with a cooking video with the family could be with the camera focused on what they’re doing and not directly in the face. Maybe less intimidating that way?
You are not political and controversial, so you don't attract the rude and ugly folks.By the way, I am from Wisconsin, and you sound perfectly normal. I can't imagine any other way to say crockpot.
I'm so happy to provide a safe little place where we talk about happy things and get a break from controversial stuff lol! I will continue to keep it that way!

Thank you so much! I thought the question was great and deserved a real answer. I really appreciate all of this lovely support! ❤

Thanks so much Claire for answering my question on how you guys met! That was so sweet!! 🥰
Thanks so much for asking! I feel very lucky to have a great husband :)
This was fun to watch! Thanks for answering my question 😊 The kids should definitely make you a vintage recipe!!
It would be so chaotic but totally hilarious lol

Pleasure meeting your adorable pups. ❤❤❤
They really want to be the star of the show 😂
I enjoyed hearing all the tibits. Thanks for sharing.

Ooo and a terrier at that! Just know that most people would have zero clue how to groom their own dog, so you are already an exceptional mom! 🥰

ok, now to the ham banana... so curious
Hi Claire do you have a soup maker. If you do could you show us some recipes please. Have a blessed year. X
I usually make soup in my crock pot or in my Dutch oven on the stove!
@@ClaireRisper ok thank you really enjoying your rice cooker recipes

I pick that up as well. Love her channel. I just recently subscribed.
Thank you so much for this lovely comment! And for following me for so long, it means so much to me!
THE VINTAGE PUNCH IS LIFE CHANGING PLEASE TRY IT EVERYONE!
lol I'm so glad you got to experience it!
I’m dying at you cover Banjos ears so he doesn’t get hurt feelings 🤣 suggestion with a cooking video with the family could be with the camera focused on what they’re doing and not directly in the face. Maybe less intimidating that way?
Worst vintage recipe I made was water pie. I even filmed a video on the whole thing but it was so disgusting it never made it to youtube. 😂
omg water pie! Why did they do this weird stuff lol!
My house was built in 1959 too!
They really don't make em like they used to lol!
You are not political and controversial, so you don't attract the rude and ugly folks.By the way, I am from Wisconsin, and you sound perfectly normal. I can't imagine any other way to say crockpot.
I thought the same on both subjects.
I'm so happy to provide a safe little place where we talk about happy things and get a break from controversial stuff lol! I will continue to keep it that way!
I miss duke!
Me too!!!!
I didn't even hear the background noise. Lol
