I remember a cold spell in Temple TX in the early 80's,when we lived there. It was a long 2 weeks!! This past January, in Sacramento where I live now, we had wind storms that brought down around 1000 trees in the city. Incredible.
We're not too far from you guys, in Temple. It was so sad, and a little scary, listening to all the trees breaking and falling. Even in the midst of an ice storm, you make your videos so encouraging and calming ❤️. So glad y'all made it thru okay!
So glad you guys are okay, Robin. This is just one reason it's extremely important to be prepared. Especially those of us with families who we care for on a daily basis. God bless you and your family, Robin. ❤️✝️
Hi Robin! So grateful you and your family are all well after the ice storm. This is a perfect example of why it’s so important to be prepared. You do a wonderful job of explaining and demonstrating how you keep your food stores topped off. Every Sunday we love watching your video because it’s such an inspiration to keep the house in order! Thanks 🙏.
Hi Robin - thank you so much for showing us what went on up in your neck of the woods. We were not affected by ice here in South Texas. Melissa had the same type scenario that you had up in Dallas. My house is all electric like yours and I had issues in that last storm. I’ve burned tons of firewood in my fireplace but it didn’t make it any warmer. Finally I went and stayed with my daughter Rebecca Who still had power. You did such a good job and preparing for this type of urgency. Last time people made fun of us here in the south about the freeze we had. They don’t understand that we just don’t have the infrastructure to withstand that kind of weather. I love seeing all how you prepared food and your Prepper pantry stuff. I no longer have to think about that much. Rebecca usually prepares for me to be with her. She always buys extra water and extra food for me too. Such thoughtful daughter. Melissa‘s husband is a news man that works for a network news channel. Every emergency that has ever come about she has been alone because he has had to be out covering the news. However he retired last week and so she had somebody with her this week. Thanks again for this great video. I always watch your videos multiple times because sometimes it seems like I miss something. you don’t realize how much company you give me. Love in Christ
Thank you so much Donna! I’m really glad you were able to avoid this storm. It was crazy, but thankfully we had 70’s today and made a ton of progress with the cleanup! You are blessed to have daughters that look out for you and I love that I can now picture you all! I saw an email from you and apologize for being slow to respond. I’m a little behind following all the excitement, but hope to get caught up this week. Have a blessed week sweet friend! 💙❄️💙
We are Costco members too…..but honestly I find the organic ones in the glass square jars at Ocean state job lots and they are fresh and amazing……and not too big quantity that goes bad
I thought about you this week and was hoping for the best. So sorry to see the damage to the tress. Happy that your power wasn’t too big of an issue. I completely understand the storm anxiety. I’m terrified of winter storms because of 2021 here in Katy. I had two burst pipes and it was a nightmare. Two solid years of getting the house properly repaired. Thankful you were spared from anything worse. God Bless.
Thank you Shel! I love snow and wintertime, but this level of ice was hard to handle. I’m glad that you missed this go-round and that all the repairs are behind you! God bless! 💙❄️💙
Good afternoon, Mrs. Robin! We had our fair share of ice storms in Arkansas this past week as well! We thank GOD for HIS protection through it all, too. I look forward to your videos on Sundays and am attempting to watch them all. (I've been a fan since the beginning of the pandemic.) Your presence is a peaceful comfort and I often put your channel on auto play as I clean. It's as if I have a dear friend over to visit, LOL! I APPRECIATE all of the wisdom you share. THANK YOU for allowing us into your family's home and lives!!! GOD bless and keep you all...
Aww! Thank you Christina! I'm so glad I can keep you company while you clean. I appreciate all of the love and support more than I can say. God bless!💙❄💙
So glad you did so well during the storm. It’s sad to see all the broken branches but at least no major damage to your home. Strange weather…we had -40 degree (wind chill feel) temps here in New England this weekend. Luckily we didn’t lose power. God bless you and your family and this channel! ❤
Hi Robin, I was so pleased to hear that you were ok, The sound of trees breaking under the load of ice is scary... Well done on being prepared. much love from here in Cornwall, UK xxx
Oh Robin; I am so sorry that you experienced this…..but really grateful that you are all ok and that you made it through !! I never knew this was happening in your area! I love your idea of making the tea, with the fondue set! That was genius! I think I am going to order a fondue set just for this reason. We often have these types of storms up here in the north, and I think this is such a great idea!! I hope everything is getting back to normal for you and your family now, and you are fully out of the woods! It looked like at least someone fuzzy had a good time playing in the icy grass! ☺️ lol ! God bless Robin….and many blessings for the new week! ~ Audrey ♥️☺️
Hi Robin, I´m so glad, that you are OK!!!🙏 In our mountains (Krkonoše = Giant Mountains; Czech Republic), there have been three tragic accidents due to falling trees since autumn 2022. In two accidents, a huge broken tree fell directly on a passing car and all the people in the cars died. During the last one, a tree fell on a person while walking😭... God bless you all!😊
Thank you! There is a link for it in the description box below the video or you can find it in the kitchen section of my Amazon Store: www.amazon.com/shop/faithandflour 💙❄️💙
Hiiieeeee.... New to your channel, so I am sorry if you have answered this before, but have you thought about a generator? It just seems like Texas is getting hit more often with this crazy weather... I am an Indiana girl and we have several family members with generators. Just curious.. Happy Sunday...
So sorry to see such damage from the ice storm. Thankfully your house is intact and you’re all ok. We NEVER see anything like this in Sydney Australia. Right now we are enjoying a hot summer, so very different from your weather at the moment. Thank you for taking the time to show us what an ice storm looks like. Please take care and stay safe.
So sad to see the destruction of so many beautiful trees, but happy to see you all made it through with house and home intact. Living in rural Michigan, we’re very familiar with ice storms and power outages. Many of our neighbors have invested in automatic whole house generators. We haven’t gone that far yet, but do have a decent sized “non-automatic” generator that lets us keep the house warm and the lights on. After experiencing a couple of these storms in the span of a couple years, maybe a generator is in your future as well 😊
Thank you Denise! We have a portable generator, but didn’t need it this time as power was restored pretty quickly. We had it on standby and it felt good to know we could use it if we need to! 👍😅❄️💙
The idea of an ice storm in Texas is mindblowing! I'm so glad you're all safe. The idea of using the instant pot on the stove under the event is just genius. Loved this video, Robin. In only have four cupboards in my ridiculous kitchen, so I don't have a lot of room for storage, but I do my best. Much love xx
Thankfully, those of us who live south of I-10 were spared this time. Stories of cracking tree limbs and lack of power and heat for days brought back memories of the ice storm that hit our area in 1997. In our area between hurricanes and ice storms the trees have taken a beating over the years. Luckily they grow back. Glad you and your family ok and are moving on.
BRRR! We had a very similar storm here in TN 2 years ago and lost power as well. I hope to not have that experience again! It was beautiful but destructive at the same time. So glad your family is ok!
So glad our flight to Dallas was canceled last Tuesday. We were sad to miss a fun trip to Arizona…but, that ice storm was brutal! It came through Nashville TN too. We would have been stuck in the Dallas airport… thank you American Airlines! Thanks for all the food storage tips, Robin… ❄️🥶
With curries I/We Indian people cook the spice’s for 20/30 minutes before adding the meat/ veg so it cooks properly. I don’t know if you know that. Just a tip plus keep stirring the spices as well plus we add the garlic and ginger half way through cooking the spices so they don’t burn.
I'm so glad you are all okay. Seeing the damage to your trees is heartbreaking. The last 3 winter storms predicted for our central Illinois area passed us by so we've been blessed with a very mild winter so far. Today it was 55 degrees. One thing we have in this home plus the two prior homes we've lived in is a whole house generator. It runs off of our natural gas line. While they aren't cheap, when factoring the cost into the whole cost of building a new house they aren't really that bad. And some years ago it came in handy when we had an ice storm and later a tornado that caused power outages for nearly a week each time. We don't regret that purchase even for an instant. Take care.
Hi Robin, I’m happy to hear you are all safe. I’m sorry your beautiful trees suffered damage. Here, in the middle Atlantic states we get that black ice, which is so dangerous. However, except for those few cold days, we are not experiencing a bad winter, but we still have a good way to go yet. See you next week.
I just came across your channel today. I've been craving butter chicken and wanting to make some. I've never done it with the insta pot. Sorry for all damage you received from ice storm but happy you were all safe.
I learn so many things from the content creators I follow. You being one of them! A fondue pot!! Ingenius! I am so happy to hear that storm is behind you and it was catastrophic. Praise God!! God bless you richly!
Obviously people in Texas need to be prepared like us in the cold North. Stay safe and love the vlogs Robin. Stay prepared!!!! I'm loving the longer videos too!!!!! Just a suggestion...buy a deep freezer (upright). You'll save tons of money💖
I would check and see if your garage door has an emergency release handle that you can use during a power outage. They usually have them for situations just like this. Glad eveyone was safe and no major damge was done. Thank you for sharing!
Glad to see you were left mostly unscathed. I can't believe the grid still hasn't been fixed! Gov Perry really did some damage when he was in office and we're still feeling the effect.
Here in our part of Oregon, we had an ice storm, too, during that same time you did. We lost power for 8 days, and some people here were out for 2 weeks. It sure was a good test to see how prepared I was but also how I was lacking. We have a well, so there is no running water when we have no power. I collect rain water, and that sure helped. I really enjoy your videos. Thank you for making and sharing them.
Hey Robin, so sorry about your beautiful trees. I'm very thankful to our Heavenly Father that y'all are safe and you home is safe. You have really built up your pantry since you moved. It looks great. I'm glad you prepared ahead and had a back up plan. We all need to be prepared. Love yo your sweet family Robin. Be blessed.
Such a helpful video, a lesson for all of us in preparedness. This is deja vu from a couple years ago when you had the ice storm and major failure of the state’s power grid in February 2021. So glad you were prepared and the state was better prepared. Thank you Robin!
Kept you and your family in prayers Robin thru the 2023 ice storm. So happy you were safe . Thank you so much for your videos on prepping! It really helped so much in our 6feet of snow in November and December blizzard here in New York. Am going to look into a camp stove, and fondue set soon ! Michelle
Glad y’all are are safe. As well as any viewers that went through the storm. I’m in Georgia, we did not have the storms a lot of U.S . had. love the tip about setting inta pot on stove top and use the vent …. Genius.
The idea of putting the older flour on top of the newer flour is so smart. I’ll definitely be doing that in the future. I’m glad you didn’t have any major ice damage. I live in Virginia and we get ice storms too or heavy/wet snow storms. We usually will lose tree limbs too. Thank you again for such a relaxing video and so grateful your family and home are safe.
So thankful your okay and how well you are prepared for these times that can be so challenging! You do it with such grace! The Lord's Huge blessings to you and your family!
Wow, Robin! That was quite a storm. I'm so glad that you did ok throughout the storm. Sad to have that tree damage but hopefully nothing was permanently damaged. I'm sure that it feels good to be on the other side of it. And found all your thoughts about the prepper pantry very helpful. I'm having our pantry redone so I will have to move everything out of it and I look forward to reorganizing and taking stock.
Oh my, so much ice. It's good to know that you and your family, along with others in your neighborhood are doing well. How can something so beautiful be so be so so dangerous for us. I was glad to see the sunshine and hear the power saw doing its job. Stay safe.
Robin, when I heard of the storms, I was praying for you. The damage is hard to see, but I am grateful that you are well and warm again. Grateful the damage was minimal in the grand scheme of things, that your family, your home and vehicle are all ok. Prayers for you as you clean up and move forward. ❤️❤️❤️
Robin, you were in my thoughts and prayers this week! It's just crazy that Texas is having this kind of weather so often now. I'm so sorry to see the damage to your beautiful trees but glad you are all OK. Weather in NC has just been so wet and gloomy so far this year and I've been a little cranky about it at times. Well, no more of that - I'm counting my blessings from here on out 😊We had a 2 hour power outage last Tuesday (due to some upgrades on our nearby power lines) so we used the chance to test out a little tealight "stove" that we made back in the fall. (I got the idea from Mary/Mary's Nest) It worked great!! We were able to boil water and toast bread over 6 tealights! Thank you for sharing all of your ideas. I learn so much from you! Regarding the HVAC unit - we had the same problem with ours at our mountain cabin so my husband built a lean-to over it. Have a great (hopefully warmer) week! ❤
I am glad you guys are doing well and the damage was not as been as it could had been. Preparedness is a most at all times as we do not know what can happen with this type of weather. I lived in Florida for many years and the thought of having to be prepared at a very short time notice, due to the hurricane season was very stressful. For the past 18 years I have been living in NC and the same thing applies with the ice storm. Keep warm and I hope you have a wonderful rest of the week.
Thank you! We remember the hurricanes and ice storms from the East coast well! I pray that you all have a mild season for both this year! 🙏 God bless! 💙❄️💙
I’m in the Tyler area and some friends had trees uprooted from the ground from the weight of the ice. We never lost power at our home, but we did have our generator ready if needed! Glad you guys didn’t have more damage. Blessings to you and your family.
Hi Robin, Thank God you n your family are ok. Then your home n property spared major damage. Never saw anything like that but on TV n social media. How frightening. The Lord was watching over you. Have a fantastic and blessed week.
The same freeze visited us in TN but definitely not as severe as what TX had. Glad power was restored relatively quickly for you guys! (It was lovely though, wasn't it?) 🙂
It was so beautiful Joy! I hope that you were able to get by without much difficulty. Now we are in the midst of the great cleanup! 😅 Have a blessed week!💙❄💙
Dear Robin….I am very appreciative that you chose me, however, I don’t use any platforms, I’m not on Twitter or any other social platform….please choose another gift recipient…..again, thank you….

Wow!! 1st were you in Texas a few yrs ago when that terrible ice storm came through like this one or worse? Several days no power even affected pool pumps and lots of pile up accidents on the highway! It may have been in 2020/2021.
Was the cubed chicken frozen? Thank you for the delicious recipe. We had a lot of trees down from the ice. No bad damage and we didn’t lose power. I bought some light bulbs that charge while you have the lamp on, if the power goes out the bulb has a switch and you will have a working lamp 😊. It’s supposed to last for several hours. I’ve only had to use it once and it worked great.
I love the chargeable bulb idea! Thank you! The chicken was some breasts that I had cut up from frozen, but they were thawed before adding them to the recipe. 💙❄️💙
Hello Robin. I am new to your channel. I've gone back and watched a lot of your videos and love your content. It's relaxing and motivating. Thank you for sharing your trick and tips. Sorry for the tree damage and thankful you moved your vehicle. I live in north east Texas and we did not get cold enough that we had ice but we've had a lot of rain and are flooding. We will want this water come summer time. Hope cleanup was not to bad. 😊
Hi Robin. I’m so sorry for all the damages on your trees and in your neighborhood! I did pray for you when I learned about the ice storm. The sound of the breaking branches was terrible to hear just on the video, so I can imagine it must have been scary to hear it all day, so close to you! Thank you for the wonderful advices you gave about being prepared. You covered all the important areas where one should be prepared. I can understand more than ever now the importance of having a prepper pantry in situations like this! It spurs me to get more serious about building mine! Here, in the south-eastern part of Canada where I live, the last 3 days we had extremely cold weather with strong winds the first day, but thankfully we didn’t loose power. Your butter chicken looked so yummy, I’m going to try your recipe! I hope you have a calmer week, this week! God bless! 💛💖😊
Hi Robin, I am wanting to buy some storage jars and I was wondering if you like the jars with the orange rubber seal, or do you prefer the jars with the screw top lids?
Thank God Robin you and your family including Austin were all okay. Thank you for sharing this video. It’s always a happy time for me when watching your videos 🇦🇺🦘❤️💜🙏🙏🐶
My cousin lives in Round Rock Texas so she has explained about these events. She even said at times a small trickle of water in faucets kept pipes from freezing. Is that the case by you? I'm looking forward to the day when God will remedy all the natural disasters and our earth will be a paradise again like he originally purposed.
Very thankful all of you are okay…..and that you had no damage to your house and other buildings….loved seeing Austin frolicking about…..thank you for all your tips and hints….
So happy that you are all OK! As harsh and scary that it is, the scenery truly is beautiful! I watched your video after that last storm a few years ago & I also started a 'prepper pantry' as a result of what you went through! We rely so heavily on gas and electricity, don't we?! I have a double gas camping stove but need more butane cylinders for it. Thank you for sharing your experience which has helped me (& I'm sure, many others) think through some potential future scenarios that might occur & require some form of 'preparing' wherever we may live. Also, I never considered using the fondue set to boil the kettle!! Great idea! Fortunately, I have bought a camp kettle that I can put directly over a flame (unlike my usual electric kettle!)
I've said it before and I'll say it again, I love your content and when you make videos like this, it inspires me. Thank you for being you. You are appreciated, valued, seen and heard.
The sound of a tree breaking like that gives you a helpless feeling. We had ice here in our part of southern MO a couple weeks ago. We are a little more used to it than y'all. Although, I think you have had more ice than we have the past couple years. I am glad we can be happy the damage wasn't worse, but those trees took a significant hit. Thank you for sharing your experience. God bless!
What a relief that your property didn't suffer from too much damage Robin and nobody was hurt from the falling branches. The ice looked beautiful. ❄❄💚💚🏡🏡
I hope you are having a lovely week! Thank you for watching!!!

We're not too far from you guys, in Temple. It was so sad, and a little scary, listening to all the trees breaking and falling. Even in the midst of an ice storm, you make your videos so encouraging and calming ❤️. So glad y'all made it thru okay!
Thank you Caroline! I’m so glad you made it through okay. Yes! I’ll be happy not to hear that sound again anytime soon! 🥶😄💙❄️
I’m down here in Leander! Just cleaned up,the tree branches from the back yard. Thankfully we didn’t lose power!
@@katharvey7324 I am also in Leander and man the clean up was brutal in some parts for sure. Thankfully we didn't lose power either.
So glad you guys are okay, Robin. This is just one reason it's extremely important to be prepared. Especially those of us with families who we care for on a daily basis. God bless you and your family, Robin. ❤️✝️
Thank you Jennifer! So true! God bless you and your family! 💙❄️💙

So glad our flight to Dallas was canceled last Tuesday. We were sad to miss a fun trip to Arizona…but, that ice storm was brutal! It came through Nashville TN too. We would have been stuck in the Dallas airport… thank you American Airlines! Thanks for all the food storage tips, Robin… ❄️🥶
I’m so glad for you too Cheryl! I hope you’ll have another chance when the weather is more cooperative!
💙❄️💙
So glad y’all are ok. Material things can be replaced but not lives. Have a blessed week 🙏🏻
Thank you Mayde! 💙❄️💙
With curries I/We Indian people cook the spice’s for 20/30 minutes before adding the meat/ veg so it cooks properly. I don’t know if you know that. Just a tip plus keep stirring the spices as well plus we add the garlic and ginger half way through cooking the spices so they don’t burn.
I'm so glad you are all okay. Seeing the damage to your trees is heartbreaking. The last 3 winter storms predicted for our central Illinois area passed us by so we've been blessed with a very mild winter so far. Today it was 55 degrees. One thing we have in this home plus the two prior homes we've lived in is a whole house generator. It runs off of our natural gas line. While they aren't cheap, when factoring the cost into the whole cost of building a new house they aren't really that bad. And some years ago it came in handy when we had an ice storm and later a tornado that caused power outages for nearly a week each time. We don't regret that purchase even for an instant. Take care.
Thank you Kathy! That would be a great thing. We have a portable generator, but your system would be much better! ❄️💙❄️
Hi Robin, I’m happy to hear you are all safe. I’m sorry your beautiful trees suffered damage. Here, in the middle Atlantic states we get that black ice, which is so dangerous. However, except for those few cold days, we are not experiencing a bad winter, but we still have a good way to go yet. See you next week.
Hi Robin, just watched, glad to see & hear that you and your family weathered the ice storm. Said thankful prayer for TX.
I just came across your channel today. I've been craving butter chicken and wanting to make some. I've never done it with the insta pot. Sorry for all damage you received from ice storm but happy you were all safe.
I learn so many things from the content creators I follow. You being one of them! A fondue pot!! Ingenius! I am so happy to hear that storm is behind you and it was catastrophic. Praise God!! God bless you richly!
Freeze your flours and grains for 3 days (deep freezer, preferably), and it will kill anything thatat might be in them.
WOW. Here in SE Tennessee we did have some I've and very cold weather but nothing like you had. Glad you were all ok.
🇳🇱🌷🌷🌷🙋🏼♀️
8m so thankful you were safe and prepared! I learned a lot from you!😊
Thank you Rachel! 💙❄️💙
Obviously people in Texas need to be prepared like us in the cold North. Stay safe and love the vlogs Robin. Stay prepared!!!! I'm loving the longer videos too!!!!! Just a suggestion...buy a deep freezer (upright). You'll save tons of money💖
Thank you Tracy! I’m looking into that! 👍😄❄️💙
I didn’t realize, until this video, that Austin has such an adorable white bum. I’m so sorry for the damage, glad it wasn’t your house or cars.
Unbelievable, thank goodness you, your family , and Mr A are ok.
Thank you Sara! God bless you and your family! 💙❄️💙
I would check and see if your garage door has an emergency release handle that you can use during a power outage. They usually have them for situations just like this. Glad eveyone was safe and no major damge was done. Thank you for sharing!
Glad to see you were left mostly unscathed. I can't believe the grid still hasn't been fixed! Gov Perry really did some damage when he was in office and we're still feeling the effect.
Here in our part of Oregon, we had an ice storm, too, during that same time you did. We lost power for 8 days, and some people here were out for 2 weeks. It sure was a good test to see how prepared I was but also how I was lacking. We have a well, so there is no running water when we have no power. I collect rain water, and that sure helped. I really enjoy your videos. Thank you for making and sharing them.
I cannot image how tough it is living in areas of extreme weather. Best wishes from London, England.
I am so happy that the ice melted and you and your family and home were OK!
Thank you Diane! 💙❄️💙
Hey Robin, so sorry about your beautiful trees. I'm very thankful to our Heavenly Father that y'all are safe and you home is safe.
You have really built up your pantry since you moved. It looks great. I'm glad you prepared ahead and had a back up plan. We all need to be prepared. Love yo your sweet family Robin. Be blessed.
Thank you so much Carol! We are very thankful too! 🙏 Have a blessed week! 💙❄️💙
Such a helpful video, a lesson for all of us in preparedness. This is deja vu from a couple years ago when you had the ice storm and major failure of the state’s power grid in February 2021. So glad you were prepared and the state was better prepared. Thank you Robin!
Absolutely Steph! 🤦♀️ Thank you and God bless! 💙❄️💙
Glad to hear you are all okay!! Thanks for all the great tips & wonderful content on your videos!
Thank you Sharon and God bless!
💙❄️💙
Thank God everything turned out alright. I love your grateful and positive attitude ❤️
Thank you Lisa! Java blessed week!
💙❄️💙
Kept you and your family in prayers Robin thru the 2023 ice storm. So happy you were safe . Thank you so much for your videos on prepping! It really helped so much in our 6feet of snow in November and December blizzard here in New York. Am going to look into a camp stove, and fondue set soon ! Michelle
Wow Michelle! I’m glad you made it through okay! God bless! 💙❄️💙
Glad y’all are are safe. As well as any viewers that went through the storm. I’m in Georgia, we did not have the storms a lot of U.S . had.
love the tip about setting inta pot on stove top and use the vent …. Genius.
Thank you Lora and God bless!
💙❄️💙
God bless you all and so glad you made it through the storm. Safety and love for the upcoming week!!❤🙏🏻. See you next time.
Thank you April! Have a blessed week as well! 💙❄️💙
The idea of putting the older flour on top of the newer flour is so smart. I’ll definitely be doing that in the future. I’m glad you didn’t have any major ice damage. I live in Virginia and we get ice storms too or heavy/wet snow storms. We usually will lose tree limbs too. Thank you again for such a relaxing video and so grateful your family and home are safe.
Thank you Loretta! 💙❄️💙
My spouse is 74...cracked out his chainsaws...busy on our 5acer ranch in Georgetown Texas...prayers fam
Tree's fallen out this way hard core
So thankful your okay and how well you are prepared for these times that can be so challenging! You do it with such grace! The Lord's Huge blessings to you and your family!
Thank you! God bless you and your family as well! 💙❄️💙
Wow, Robin! That was quite a storm. I'm so glad that you did ok throughout the storm. Sad to have that tree damage but hopefully nothing was permanently damaged. I'm sure that it feels good to be on the other side of it. And found all your thoughts about the prepper pantry very helpful. I'm having our pantry redone so I will have to move everything out of it and I look forward to reorganizing and taking stock.
Thank you Elise! Enjoy your new Pantry and getting everything set up again! Have a blessed week! 💙❄️💙
Oh my, so much ice. It's good to know that you and your family, along with others in your neighborhood are doing well. How can something so beautiful be so be so so dangerous for us. I was glad to see the sunshine and hear the power saw doing its job. Stay safe.
Thank you Sandra and God bless!
💙❄️💙
Thank you for your show. I always learn something new
So glad you are all okay! Sending lots of love and prayers. ♥♥♥♥
The weather looks like a Winter Wonderland ❤❤❤❤❤
Robin, when I heard of the storms, I was praying for you. The damage is hard to see, but I am grateful that you are well and warm again. Grateful the damage was minimal in the grand scheme of things, that your family, your home and vehicle are all ok. Prayers for you as you clean up and move forward. ❤️❤️❤️
Thank you so much Shari! We could feel your prayers! God bless you and your family! 💙❄️💙
Hi, Robin. I’ve been watching the ice storm you got. So glad everyone is fine. 🙏🏼
Thank you so much Annalisa! Have a blessed week! 💙❄️💙
Robin, you were in my thoughts and prayers this week! It's just crazy that Texas is having this kind of weather so often now. I'm so sorry to see the damage to your beautiful trees but glad you are all OK. Weather in NC has just been so wet and gloomy so far this year and I've been a little cranky about it at times. Well, no more of that - I'm counting my blessings from here on out 😊We had a 2 hour power outage last Tuesday (due to some upgrades on our nearby power lines) so we used the chance to test out a little tealight "stove" that we made back in the fall. (I got the idea from Mary/Mary's Nest) It worked great!! We were able to boil water and toast bread over 6 tealights! Thank you for sharing all of your ideas. I learn so much from you! Regarding the HVAC unit - we had the same problem with ours at our mountain cabin so my husband built a lean-to over it. Have a great (hopefully warmer) week! ❤
Thank you Kris! Patrick had the same idea to build a lean to… maybe a future project. 👍😄 Hope you see more sun soon! 💙❄️😎
Great tips. Happy you and your family are ok..
We used to have a lot of ice storms here in North Georgia. It always shut everything down. I'm very glad y'all are safe.
Hi Wanda! I have lived outside of Atlanta and remember the ice storms! I'll take snow any day! Have a blessed week!💙❄💙
I am glad you guys are doing well and the damage was not as been as it could had been. Preparedness is a most at all times as we do not know what can happen with this type of weather. I lived in Florida for many years and the thought of having to be prepared at a very short time notice, due to the hurricane season was very stressful. For the past 18 years I have been living in NC and the same thing applies with the ice storm. Keep warm and I hope you have a wonderful rest of the week.
Thank you! We remember the hurricanes and ice storms from the East coast well! I pray that you all have a mild season for both this year! 🙏 God bless! 💙❄️💙
I’m in the Tyler area and some friends had trees uprooted from the ground from the weight of the ice. We never lost power at our home, but we did have our generator ready if needed! Glad you guys didn’t have more damage. Blessings to you and your family.
Hi Drenda! So glad you all stayed safe. We had neighbors with uprooted trees too. Hopefully that’s it for this winter! 🙏💙❄️💙
Hi Robin,
Thank God you n your family are ok. Then your home n property spared major damage.
Never saw anything like that but on TV n social media. How frightening.
The Lord was watching over you.
Have a fantastic and blessed week.
Thank you Kathy! We are so grateful and are now enjoying much warmer temperatures. Have a blessed week!
💙❄️💙
The same freeze visited us in TN but definitely not as severe as what TX had. Glad power was restored relatively quickly for you guys! (It was lovely though, wasn't it?) 🙂
It was so beautiful Joy! I hope that you were able to get by without much difficulty. Now we are in the midst of the great cleanup! 😅 Have a blessed week!💙❄💙
Those trees look like they should be removed.
The power of nature and the resiliency of your family.
Absolutely Evelyn! God bless!
💙❄️💙
I am happy that you and your family are well.
Very sad to see so much damage . Glad all ok .great pantry tips ❤
Thank you Mary and God bless!
💙❄️💙
Dear Robin….I am very appreciative that you chose me, however, I don’t use any platforms, I’m not on Twitter or any other social platform….please choose another gift recipient…..again, thank you….
Hi Carolyn! There have been several incidents of someone impersonating me and leaving messages such as the one you received. It has been reported and I apologize for any confusion or inconvenience that they have caused. Always look for the check mark ☑️ next to my comments and replies. That indicates that I am verified by UA-cam and am authentic. 💛
Wow!! 1st were you in Texas a few yrs ago when that terrible ice storm came through like this one or worse? Several days no power even affected pool pumps and lots of pile up accidents on the highway! It may have been in 2020/2021.
Hi Amy yes we were. Hopefully we are done with that for a while. 😅🥶💙
I just found your channel! The ice was beautiful, but destructive! I live northwest of Austin!
Hi Kat and welcome! 💛😊💛
Like we say in France vaut mieux prévenir que guérir ! 👍
Was the cubed chicken frozen? Thank you for the delicious recipe. We had a lot of trees down from the ice. No bad damage and we didn’t lose power. I bought some light bulbs that charge while you have the lamp on, if the power goes out the bulb has a switch and you will have a working lamp 😊. It’s supposed to last for several hours. I’ve only had to use it once and it worked great.
I love the chargeable bulb idea! Thank you! The chicken was some breasts that I had cut up from frozen, but they were thawed before adding them to the recipe. 💙❄️💙
Hello Robin. I am new to your channel. I've gone back and watched a lot of your videos and love your content. It's relaxing and motivating. Thank you for sharing your trick and tips. Sorry for the tree damage and thankful you moved your vehicle. I live in north east Texas and we did not get cold enough that we had ice but we've had a lot of rain and are flooding. We will want this water come summer time. Hope cleanup was not to bad. 😊
Thank you and welcome!💛😊💛
Hi Robin. I’m so sorry for all the damages on your trees and in your neighborhood! I did pray for you when I learned about the ice storm. The sound of the breaking branches was terrible to hear just on the video, so I can imagine it must have been scary to hear it all day, so close to you! Thank you for the wonderful advices you gave about being prepared. You covered all the important areas where one should be prepared. I can understand more than ever now the importance of having a prepper pantry in situations like this! It spurs me to get more serious about building mine!
Here, in the south-eastern part of Canada where I live, the last 3 days we had extremely cold weather with strong winds the first day, but thankfully we didn’t loose power. Your butter chicken looked so yummy, I’m going to try your recipe! I hope you have a calmer week, this week! God bless! 💛💖😊
Thank you so much Monique! Have a blessed week! 💙❄️💙

Hi Robin, I am wanting to buy some storage jars and I was wondering if you like the jars with the orange rubber seal, or do you prefer the jars with the screw top lids?
Hi Dede! I use both and they both work well. The ones with the orange seal are my favorite, but they are quite a bit more expensive. 😊💛
Thankful that you and the Fam are safe!! 👍
Thank you! We feel very grateful! 🙏 God bless you and your family!
💙❄️💙
How do you keep track of expiration dates when putting items into glass jars?
Hi Karen! I only do that with staples we use up quickly so that I don’t have to worry about anything expiring. 💙
Thank God Robin you and your family including Austin were all okay. Thank you for sharing this video. It’s always a happy time for me when watching your videos 🇦🇺🦘❤️💜🙏🙏🐶
My cousin lives in Round Rock Texas so she has explained about these events. She even said at times a small trickle of water in faucets kept pipes from freezing. Is that the case by you? I'm looking forward to the day when God will remedy all the natural disasters and our earth will be a paradise again like he originally purposed.
Here in Boerne TX, we lost power for 1 day, no so much damage outside. Glad your family is doing well. Thanks for the video. I always learn something!
Very thankful all of you are okay…..and that you had no damage to your house and other buildings….loved seeing Austin frolicking about…..thank you for all your tips and hints….
So happy that you are all OK! As harsh and scary that it is, the scenery truly is beautiful! I watched your video after that last storm a few years ago & I also started a 'prepper pantry' as a result of what you went through! We rely so heavily on gas and electricity, don't we?! I have a double gas camping stove but need more butane cylinders for it. Thank you for sharing your experience which has helped me (& I'm sure, many others) think through some potential future scenarios that might occur & require some form of 'preparing' wherever we may live. Also, I never considered using the fondue set to boil the kettle!! Great idea! Fortunately, I have bought a camp kettle that I can put directly over a flame (unlike my usual electric kettle!)
God’s blessings
I've said it before and I'll say it again, I love your content and when you make videos like this, it inspires me.
Thank you for being you. You are appreciated, valued, seen and heard.
The sound of a tree breaking like that gives you a helpless feeling. We had ice here in our part of southern MO a couple weeks ago. We are a little more used to it than y'all. Although, I think you have had more ice than we have the past couple years. I am glad we can be happy the damage wasn't worse, but those trees took a significant hit. Thank you for sharing your experience. God bless!
What a relief that your property didn't suffer from too much damage Robin and nobody was hurt from the falling branches. The ice looked beautiful.
