I have another comment! 😉 I'm 66 yrs old and trying to come to terms that I can't do things like I used to. It's hard, but what you shared was so encouraging! Thank you for being so open and a vessel for our Lord to use. ♥️♥️🙏🙏😘😘
You got this Susan!!!! It's just a pivot. That's how I see it now. And my pivot, will help you pivot....and your pivot will help someone else pivot....and so on and so on. One thing I learned, at heaven's door while in my coma.....was that we really are here to learn two things.... love one another and forgive one another. That's all there is! I love you Sister..... we will pivot together!
Completely agree. I never thought I would have a maid, I was a cleaning OCD. But 4 years in with Rheumatoid Arthritis and Giant Cell Arteritis, I no longer could clean like that. Now, I am so thankful God makes provision so I can have a professional cleaning service. Give thanks in everything! 🙌🙏🙌
Heather in 2010 I was run over and dragged by my own van,and then got bloodclots and then developed CRPS which is incurable/slow terminal and now I’m “officially” handicapped.I really love videos like this because soon my kids will leave the nest, and me being widow with no family….I really going to need help with assistive devices when the kids aren’t around.More videos like this PLEASE ❤❤ FYI You’re looking gorgeous as usual ❤
Have Mercy! You are a walking talking miracle too! Thank the Lord you survived and you are still here with us. I am glad some of these ideas can help you in some way. God bless you....and you're sweet kiddos!
A BIG thank you, Heather for these ideas especially the under cabinet lid opener idea! I just discovered a great aid for painful fingers = finger rings. They are great to use when sleeping to prevent your fingers/hands from clenching and causing stiffness and pain. It is best to buy them in person so you can try them on (they come in different sizes), or you can have custom made rings at a higher cost, of course. They're usually described as arthritis finger rings. Thanks again, Heather. I don't know how you ever managed. My hands were injured in a car accident (not as bad as yours, though), so I know how incredibly difficult it is to manage. You're our inspiration, my dear.
Heather, you are such a sweetheart! God is using you in such a mighty way. He’s allowed you to have these struggles, so He could use you to help and encourage others. And, you do it in such a loving way! Keep up the good work! Love you!
Thank you so much!! Love you too, and I feel that calling on my life. So thank you!!!! There is always purpose in the pain and God will use it for good for those who love him! Amen!
I had to have hand surgery on my dominant right hand for trigger finger (ring finger) and thumb in October and it has been a struggle for me to use my right hand even though it's been 7 weeks. My thumbs still swollen and the scar tissue is thick. I truly appreciate you making this video for those of us that need these types of tools to help us work in the kitchen. After 7 months of not having a job, my husband finally managed to find one. He was my jar opener so now I need that jar opening gadget. I love the flour duster! I have watched you struggle to get back to this new version of yourself and you inspire so many with your can do spirit!
You have been working towards finding your new normal. Finding these tools has been part of that, but depending on the Lord has made an even bigger impact! Thank you for being so open with the struggle, as well as being so open about Who has helped you through. May God continue to richly bless you! 💖
Heather you are an inspiration from God. With all the struggles your faith in God is still the center of your life. God is the best physician and healer all we need to do is have faith and pray and ask others to pray with you. I’m going to pass this video to my niece who about 14 yrs ago had 3 mini strokes and left her with her right side almost no use at all. She was right handed but has learned to do with her left hand and she does great job with that. Thank you for sharing this video and the new you looks good on you. Keep smiling 😊 God loves you and so don’t I .
Heather, not only did I enjoy seeing the gadgets that you demonstrated, but I so very much needed to hear what you said towards the end of your video! I also experienced a TBI several years ago and, with God's grace, made it through. It is like grieving the loss of who you were. I recently had to retire unexpectedly due to MS, but right before that I had had my whole kitchen tore out and have not been able to fix it! Your kind words let me know that God sees exactly where I'm at and that He cares. I had just been reminiscing about how I used to cook for the holidays, and was feeling very sad when your video popped up. He always amazes me! Thank you, for your obedience. God bless!❤
I LOVE when the Holy Spirit works like that! Then you were one of the souls laying on my heart today to make this video. I am so sorry about your TBI and your MS diagnosis.... this life is full of such suffering and sorrow, but it's all about how we choose to pivot....how we choose to love and live and forgive through all of it. Helping one another. Loving one another. Look at this amazing platform brought us together! hahaha AMAZING! God is so good, and this video was for you, from him....I was just his tool to get you the message. God bless you sis! So much love to you.
@@TheKneadyHomesteader, thank you for your sweet response! Isn't God amazing?! Sometimes I literally laugh out loud at how wonderful and awesome He is to me! 🤣 Again, thank you for being obedient! Big hug 🤗
Love this. My husband shattered his wrist and had the same hardware put in. 10 months later the harware actually severed his thumb tendon, so back into surgery he went to replace the tendon and reattatch it. They also removed the hardware. The surgeon said his bones were a mess and didnt heal right and would likely need another surgery to rebreak his wrist and put hardware back in. Fast forward to about 6 weeks later my husband healed and had no issues regarding pain, his range of motion is for sure changed, he has limitations and things have changed. He uses the can opener as physio 😅, but as he ages i would def consider things like your can opener once arthritis sets in.
This video was so inspiring to me, it was just what I needed. I just told my husband last night that I wished you would do a video on some of the tools you use in the kitchen and boom your video popped up today. God is so amazing, thank you for doing this. I just ordered the can opener and got one for my dad also. I suffer from arthritis in my back and I have a lot of joint pain so I have been trying to get any and all handy dandy tools I can find to make it easier on me to be in the kitchen and do the things I love. God bless you and have a great night with your sweet children.
Thank you Lord....and how you work! You then were laying heavy on my heart today. I knew I NEEDED to make this and I am so glad I was obedient to the voice that is not mine AKA the Holy Spirit! hahaha Thank you Father God!!!! God is so good!
Oh Heather you are so amazingly kind and giving. Truly a blessing to so many. These will surely help with tough issues I face with my hands and wrists. God bless. Your love shines. 🙏 ❤
Thank you sweet momma, these are amazing tools, I love them all but that can opener is great, I may just look at getting my mom one for Christmas, I am going to get myself the spoon for flour, I just love that, Thanks again Sweet Momma big hugs and much love from NC 🙏❤️🥰😍😊😘
Thank you, Heather your video did help me tremendously. It inspired & encouraged me. When I got divorced, I felt I had lost my identity because I was no longer a wife. Then I lost my mom in 2021, so I was no longer a caregiver. That was another facet of my identity that I felt I lost. However, I just purchased her house. So, I'm struggling to find my identity again. I came across this video this morning & I want to thank you because these "gadgets" would be amazing assets to my kitchen, as I broke my finger on my dominant right hand just trying to do something around this house & I have arthritis. So it has been a challenge to do the basic things around here. Again thank you so much! : )
So informative and inspirational. I have limitations from arthritis and fibromyalgia, so these ideas are wonderful. It made me think of other friends with challenges too. Thanks beautiful friend. ~Kentucky Angie Blessings to you and your sweet family.
Heather, I have been watching your channel for years, even when you all had the mobile home and I was inspired to learn to can and bake bread from your channel. I hate the fact that you all suffered such a tragic loss, but, so thankful God was able to bring you back to us, as I love watching your channel and you are an inspiration to us all. Cooking and your inspiration are the gifts God gave you to share with others and we are thankful for all you do and bring even when it is a struggle.
Heather, you touch so many hearts. God is using you in such a powerful way. I continue to pray for you and your family. Thank you for the jar opener!!! Jars are such a struggle. God Bless
God only knows how much I needed to watch this video. I suffer from degenerative arthritis which has progressed quickly and has made so many things I love to do truly difficult. Handling my canners and even removing casseroles from the oven have become a hard and dangerous task these days, so I’m so glad you shared these items that will make things much easier and remove the sense of feeling that I won’t be able to do these things on my own. Thank you and God bless you Heather, may the Most High continue to use you through this platform that has made a huge difference for so many of us. Truly grateful❤️❤️❤️
Thank you Heather. I have lymphoedema and my legs swell so i understand legs that hurt. I have to sit down to do my everyday things in the kitchen. I even have some of your gadgets. They are a big game changer. I had to find a new normal too. Its a bit difficult saying goodbye to once was but it getting a bit better everyday
it is really hard.....I really struggled.....grieving so much all at once. But GOD! All glory to the Father for getting me through it all. I am saying a prayer for you, and your comfort, may you get some relief. Keep moving forward like you are and thank you for sharing that with me. Others who read your comment will feel less alone. xoxo
You are so welcome! I am so glad this was helpful to you....and I completely understand where you are. I am praying for you and cheering you on from the sidelines here! So much love to you!
This particular video was PERFECTLY timed! Our tools in the kitchen are extremely important and we need to hear it said! Setbacks while trying to accomplish food preparation can be almost devastating at times. Thank you Heather for taking the time to share this with us! 💗
My dad bought a meat locker/butcher shop more than 40 years ago that had been closed and put the butcher block in their kitchen. When they moved, it was so heavy that they just left it. I really miss it. It was wonderful. I enjoyed this video because I have some health challenges. Several years ago, I watched quite a few UA-cam videos about kitchens of the 40s and 50s where they had sit down workspaces. I revamped my kitchen to make some spaces like that because I’m short and regular countertops are too tall, which makes working in the kitchen burdensome and less fun. Having workspaces at the right height, and the right tools, makes all the difference and the world. It’s nice to see more options for making my time in the kitchen even easier.
I missed your bubbly laugh and it’s nice to here again I have had Ms for years and I so wish they would have had those 20 years ago and your cinnamon roll bread is my absolute favorite and you have encouraged me over the last few years to not give up on baking, you are truly a blessing. God Bless you
Thank you so much for this informative video....I’m combating fibro and Arthrisis in my hands..... some of these items are real game changers! God Bless you and your beautiful family....🙏🙏
Thank you Heather I am handicapped also in my hands and legs also have fibro and arteritis. Its hard for me to type this out but thank you for showing this. I to lost my husband a few years ago , we were married almost 44years. I find it difficult with out him . I had to sell my home and change my whole life around but thanks to our LORD I am doing good now. Love you and my prayers with you.
Firstly, thank you for taking the time to type that out to me. God bless you. I now how painful typing can be. I appreciate you doing that. 44 years.....so long yet not long enough! I am so so sorry for the loss of your beloved. Only another widow or widower can fully understand that level of loss. It changes everything! I am so glad you redoing well. God and his tender mercies....and his grace. Thank you Lord for being so close to the brokenhearted.
Heather, this video was such a blessing for me. An autoimmune disease struck me back in 2015 and everything changed and became a struggle for me. God is good and He gives me the grace and strength to do the things I must do. Some of these things you presented here seem like life savers, especially that jar opener under the counter. I too, have very weak hands and wrists! Thank you so much for sharing. God bless you and merry Christmas!
Thank you Heather, for sharing these great tools, even for us that are just getting older and body parts are getting tired. Just wondering about the oil and vinegar dispensers. Do they seal shut, to prevent bugs getting in? Sometimes in my kitchen these little buggers appear out of nowhere! Bench scrapers are the best, aren't they! I'm glad you related the challenges you're still having, though it makes me sad to see. Your smile makes us forget you still struggle in many ways. May Jesus continue to give you strength, joy, and complete miraculous healing, from head to toe! ❤
You, dear lady, are truly jaw-droppingly beautiful. Your heart and spirit are breathtaking and inspiring. I can not watch any of your videos without tears and swells of awe. May the Holy Spirit surround you with grace, hold you close, and guide you through your life. Heather, you are always in my prayers. (I just ordered the under-counter jar opener and a couple more of your recommendations too.)
Mary, you made me cry! Thank you for such loving words.... thank you! Now come back and let me know how those tools work for you!!!! God bless you....I love you!
Hi Heather, thank you for all the tips of making life a little bit easier, we all need that. You’ve come along way , God is good. I will definitely search for some of these products. God bless.❤🙏🏻
Heather, Thank you for sharing all the ideas to help for different challenges. Your videos & content always make my day. I love listening & watching them. You explain things well & give me confidence to try things out of my wheelhouse. God’s blessings to you and yours. 💜
It really resonated with me when you were talking about suffering from anxiety and how baking bread and doing things in the kitchen were a way for you to cope with it and after your injuries, one of the difficult things was not being able to be you or feel like you and not being able to cope in the way you were used to coping. I was actually in deep thought about that the past few days. I also had health issues that took a long time to recover from and financially, I lost everything. I got married around the same time and at first everything seemed fine, but I soon learned that I was in a financially abusive relationship and had zero autonomy, no help gaining my independence, no access to money etc.. and I didn't realize how I used things like my car, my phone, or money to cope or self-soothe when things got rough. We all call a friend when we're angry or depressed and afterwards we feel so much better or if we're in a fight or situation we don't want to be in, we can get in our car just to take a drive and get out of the house or we can use money to buy ourselves a nice birthday present or just spend a day shopping and I never realized how much those things helped me cope until I lost them. So I really teared up when you talked about losing coping mechanisms and it's horrible because you feel so stuck like you have no where to turn, but also like you mentioned, when you feel like you have nothing left and no way to cope, you turn inwardly to your faith, changing your mindset and getting resourceful like you did here with finding gadgets that could assist you! Bless you, you beautiful soul! Your videos bring me so much comfort and I have learned so much from you over the years and it warms my heart to watch your journey of growth! It is so inspiring!
Several of these items, I already have on an order list for Walmart. So, if you are having difficulties finding any of these items, you might be able to find them through Walmart and they are very inexpensive. Thank you for this video. ♥♥
In 2017, I had a heart attack and stroke at yhe same time. Thru complications, I became legally blind and developed sever neuropathy in my hands and feet. I too, have had to find gadgets and hacks to be useful again. I have learned to can, I make bread, cheese,, butter, coffee creamer, I feel with the right gadget, I can do whatever I want. I still sew, with magnifyers on my machines. I am getting a few things you have shown. No shame in helpers. Thank you for sharing!
Sending blessings Heather and God bless you! You have blessed more than I can say, with the feeling in, my heart and spirit! I had an accident in my home 1 1/2 years ago, that left unable to walk, I’m in P T now. Different reasons that put a delay on my PT. However nothing as unimaginable as your devastating tragedy to you, your family and the loss of your beloved, my most sincere condolences. YES, my dear you have so blessed me in more ways than one, physically, spiritually and mentally, thank you, courageous and beautiful Heather! Undoubtedly there are many more on this channel that have been blessed by this video and others, you’ve shared with us. I’m new to your channel, and it is part of the repertoire, of Blessings and answers to prayer! God bless you and yours, during this season and always❣️🎄🥰
Heather I just started watching you and you are such a sweetheart and a blessing , I used to to very active and last 3 years I started having pain all over my body and I’m 63 years old but I’m in constant pain all drs could tell me was that I chronic fatigue and fibromyalgia so I have days where I can’t do a lot so watching you has really encouraged me not to give up ,your truly an inspiration god bless you for everything you do .
Giiiiirrrllll, you and I should go garage saling sometime! We would have a blast!! I love these items, you are right you lose your identity when you cant do the things you use to. I know my struggles are minimal compared to others (severe R.A.) but i can sympathize so much with what you are explaining. Its tough when you have to relearn to do what you love differently. The struggle is real!! God Bless you for your inspiration, your heart, and your candidnace. Sweet Sister, you are changing lives and opening hearts and you are helping women to gain power again!! Thank you 🙏🙏🙏❤️🌹
Thankyou, Heather, so much. I have fibromyalgia and osteoporosis, and l do miss the old Bev, who was a drumming bunny, with no Off Button. (Need a hand? Bev'll do it. Need that wardrobe shifted? Bev'll do it.) I planted trees, and dug the holes in compacted clay as hard as. But not now. Inside, l am still me, but my body just won't/can't do what it used to. And yes, l have found asking God for inspiration and advice has been so good. Like l say to Him.... He got me into this, so He must know the way out, over, around or through it. And He does. I had a jar opener that worked the same as your can opener. Absolutely wonderful, as l had had a "mystery virus" that took all the strength from my arms, hands and fingers. After a year or so, it finally met a lid it couldn't open, and busted a gasket trying, poor thing...but it was good while it lasted. Haven't seen one since, sadly, but thank God my hands etc have vastly improved over the years... Thankyou for your encouragement, and sharing these great ideas. Love to you, and God bless. X0 ❤🫂
A GREAT BIG THANK YOU HEATHER! This was Wonderful!! I have Many Challenges & Struggle with Everything!! So the items you showed could be so Useful. PRAY FOR ME!! GOD BLESS YOU ALWAYS!! You have Come So FAR..
In the mighty name of Jesus, Father I come to you to pray over Ms. Elaine....you know her struggles Lord, you know her pain.....cover her with your right hand, Father God.....and help guide her feet and she learns to pivot and find new ways to overcome. All gory goes to your, Father.....and we thank you for connecting us and using me as a tool to reach Elaine and so many others. Thank you! Thank you for loving us..... in your righteous and Holy name I pray, AMEN!!!! Love you Elaine!
I'm so glad you are able to still do the things you love, as a fellow fibromyalgia sufferer that can opener is something I will be calling home, thank you for sharing these items that can help so many ♥
oh Carmen....God bless you and the pain of fibro.....my heart is with you. You will LOVE that can opener! If ou get it, come back and let me know whatcha think! xoxox
You need the greater that suctions to the counter and you put stuff in the top and turn the handle and it grated everything fast and easy ! And comes apart for the dishwasher 💕
I JUST BOUGHT IT! hahaha I saw a tiktok lady.... Mississippi Kween I think is her name....she has one! I have not used it yet! I need to buy block cheese now! hahaha Maybe I should record using it for the first time?
Lol I have 3 lol Incase one breaks ! Just used the slicer blade and made a big bowl of thin sliced potatoes and made scalloped potatoes to freeze !!! perfect to grate zucchini and carrots and cabbage!!!!
You have come a long way and you are an inspiration to many of us! I have arthritis bad in my hands and wrist ( and other places ) I have the under cabinet jar opener and love it it really works and helps , I also have the salt and pepper grinder love them as well, But seeing the can opener really will make a big difference for me thank you so much for sharing. Praying for you and your sweet family and wishing you well.🙏💕
YAY! I am so glad to hear you love those tools too and let me know what you think of the can opener when you get it!!!! So much love to you Rosanna! xoxo
Heather Love this! I have rheumatoid arthritis and some days, even opening a ziplock bag is challenging 😂 I do find kneading bread by hand is therapeutic. My spouse bought the pro kitchen aid, and to me, by the time I take it off the shelf , wash it, use it, wash it again, it's easier to just do it old school. 😂 I do love these gadgets ❤😊
YES!!!! I know that pain. Thank goodness for those slider baggies......but they are pricey! LOL I find dough therapeutic too.....God bless you sis. I am so sorry you live with such pain. Sending you all my love!
A lot of great items. I have carpal tunnel so some of these would be great for me. Thank you for sharing. You are so strong Heather. So glad you are back doing what you love. God Bless you all. Have a blessed day.
I absolutely adore you! I love your spirit. I love heart. I love that joy that beams from you. You have such a beautiful heart. You are a beautiful soul. You are SO inspiring! 💫✨️💖
Boos makes a butcher block like your antique one. Very expensive. I'm so glad you have it, it will serve you well for eons! Thanks for sharing all your gadgets and ways of doing things. I have bad wrists and have a couple of those items but I have a few of yours now on my list! Thanks so much for sharing.
it is definitely an heirloom piece! Glad they still make them but with the price of lumber I can only imagine how much a new one would cost! haha Thank you for letting me know I was curious! Thanks for watching!
Thanks for this video. I am wheelchair bound and I found that just a wire clothes hanger with a loop big enough to to go over my cabinet knobs and the other end is just a hook so I can pull my spice rack to the front of the cabinet so I can reach them. My rack is just a little wrought iron double shelf that holds the spice bottles perfectly. I opened a drawer and put the jar opener under the drawer to open my jars. I can't reach it if it's under the upper cabinet. Drawers usually have a space under the bottom and this works well. I use an electric can opener and I also have a battery operated one. I also have a cutting board that fits on my lap and I can carry things, chop things, and do small jobs at a comfortable height. Maybe my things can help some one too. Love you and your videos.
@@TheKneadyHomesteader That would be super fun! If you are ever in the Texas Panhandle, I'm easy to find, just off I-40. Maybe I will have learned a few more tips to tell you about. I find that as needs are shown, there has to be an answer to them without costing a fortune and that anyone can make for themselves. I know there are many people who have simple solutions that we could all use. Thanks.
Heather, thanks for some ideas!! Listening to you, is pretty much how I feel. I'm sick sad, I guess alot because of Caysen. If not one thing it's another with him. We all just cry, cry, cry!!!!! They say his health issues come from where he was sooooooo preemie!!!!!!! And of course, this world is in such turmoil!! Thanks for listening to my rant. Take care and God Bless you and your family.
that tool you use for flour and sugar is also a loose tea infuser. never thought of using it for powdered sugar! great idea. also, check out an appiance by black and decker called Lids Off. I have one plus a spare. it opens any jar at the push of a button. I can't live without it.
Lisa!!!!! Now I need to use it for tea! I am going shopping with my girlfriend Wendy to this little organic tea shop! I thought I had to buy a ball....heck I have one! HAHAHA thats awesome! Thank you!
You are definitely an inspiration to me. I too lost my husband and it was very difficult to get through it. I also have turned to making bread to help me heal.
@TheKneadyHomesteader Honesty I've been in the health field for over 4 decades. We use the term "adaptive equipment" to help folks with their needs. So blending the love of kitchen gadgets, we now have "Adaptive kitchen gadgets," and I wouldn't have thought of it without you! So it's a 50/50 creation 🤣 We are co owners! LOL
Yup i got the same can opner im so blessed to still have you with us heather after all you have gone threw all the hard storms speaking your truth wen i was in recovery from my brain bleed stroke and complexed medical condition and dignosses and treatment care plan your generosity of living life hefore and after we have been on this journey threw it all relearning and growing in all ways of life u matter and a blessing never forget to raise a hallelujah Jesus is awsome
Gotta lot of cool gadgets there Heather, I'm loving the can opener. It's really hard doing an older kind of can opener sometimes. Hope everybody is well in your neck of the woods!!
Hi Janet!!!! We are doing great here....hope you are doing just as great! :D This can opener is definitely a game changer. I dont have to ask for help anymore....especially on chili night, when I have 10 cans to open! ahahaha
Thank you so much. ❤ I have arthritis. Sometimes I over do it and then I can’t move my wrist. The first two I want is the jar opener and the can opener lol. I have the silver set of salt and pepper shakers and I love them!
arthritis is so painful and I am so sorry you live with that pain. You will Leo the jar opener and the can opener! both are game changers and I swear I use them every day. haha Love that you have the salt and pepper shakers!
Hi Heather, I am new to your channel. Thanks for showing some of the gadgets that you use for your hands. I am starting to get arteritis in my fingers. I'm going to check out a few of these, especially the bottle opener. The light beside it is a bright idea. Have a blessed day. 💛 from 🇨🇦.
Thank you so much for this, Heather! I have Dupruytren’s disease, which makes my hands weak and I have to protect them carefully to prevent new nodules. Opening bottles/jars and cans is especially difficult. I found a hand held jar opener, but it’s bulky to store. I can’t wait to try your doohinky! And, while I adore my Pampered Chef can opener, I’m realizing I can no longer operate it well. That can opener is awesome! 🎉 This was an answer to prayer. Thank you so much! Blessings…♥️
You are so nice Heather! ❤ I'm a designer and this video is treasure for design students to help improve inclusive tools even for kitchen! ❤ Thank you! ❤❤
I can't thank you enough for this video. I too have arthritis (3 kinds in my hands and wrists) and I know the pains you described. I am ordering the automatic can opener, because even though I have found other things to help my hands do things easier, opening cans is a continual challenge. I switched to cans with pull tabs for a few years to avoid the twisting motion, but now need something else. This looks perfect!
Love , love, love your sweetness and kindness. It reaches out and touches your viewers . You’ve learned to pray and forgive. It shows . ❤️❤️🙏
I have another comment! 😉 I'm 66 yrs old and trying to come to terms that I can't do things like I used to. It's hard, but what you shared was so encouraging! Thank you for being so open and a vessel for our Lord to use. ♥️♥️🙏🙏😘😘
You got this Susan!!!! It's just a pivot. That's how I see it now. And my pivot, will help you pivot....and your pivot will help someone else pivot....and so on and so on. One thing I learned, at heaven's door while in my coma.....was that we really are here to learn two things.... love one another and forgive one another. That's all there is! I love you Sister..... we will pivot together!
You are such a blessing Heather! Thank you. 😘Yes, we will pivot onward.
😂😂❤❤❤❤
This is the 'best-est' reply. I'm in the same shoes. Here's to pivoting!
Completely agree. I never thought I would have a maid, I was a cleaning OCD. But 4 years in with Rheumatoid Arthritis and Giant Cell Arteritis, I no longer could clean like that. Now, I am so thankful God makes provision so I can have a professional cleaning service. Give thanks in everything! 🙌🙏🙌
I LOVE the new Heather as much as I LOVED the old Heather!!!! SO Happy to have you back in the kitchen doing what you love!!!
awww thank you so much! That is so sweet of you. Thank you for being here and cheering me on! I missed you guys. xox
Heather in 2010 I was run over and dragged by my own van,and then got bloodclots and then developed CRPS which is incurable/slow terminal and now I’m “officially” handicapped.I really love videos like this because soon my kids will leave the nest, and me being widow with no family….I really going to need help with assistive devices when the kids aren’t around.More videos like this PLEASE ❤❤ FYI You’re looking gorgeous as usual ❤
Have Mercy! You are a walking talking miracle too! Thank the Lord you survived and you are still here with us. I am glad some of these ideas can help you in some way. God bless you....and you're sweet kiddos!
The "New" Heather is still a Good Heather. Your inner strength to overcome and soldier on is very inspirational!
awwww thank you!!!! God bless you!!!! xoxox
You are such a kind and wonderful person. Sending prayers your way. 🙏💐💞
A BIG thank you, Heather for these ideas especially the under cabinet lid opener idea!
I just discovered a great aid for painful fingers = finger rings. They are great to use when sleeping to prevent your fingers/hands from clenching and causing stiffness and pain.
It is best to buy them in person so you can try them on (they come in different sizes), or you can have custom made rings at a higher cost, of course. They're usually described as arthritis finger rings.
Thanks again, Heather. I don't know how you ever managed. My hands were injured in a car accident (not as bad as yours, though), so I know how incredibly difficult it is to manage. You're our inspiration, my dear.
Heather, you are such a sweetheart! God is using you in such a mighty way. He’s allowed you to have these struggles, so He could use you to help and encourage others. And, you do it in such a loving way! Keep up the good work! Love you!
Thank you so much!! Love you too, and I feel that calling on my life. So thank you!!!! There is always purpose in the pain and God will use it for good for those who love him! Amen!
I had to have hand surgery on my dominant right hand for trigger finger (ring finger) and thumb in October and it has been a struggle for me to use my right hand even though it's been 7 weeks. My thumbs still swollen and the scar tissue is thick.
I truly appreciate you making this video for those of us that need these types of tools to help us work in the kitchen. After 7 months of not having a job, my husband finally managed to find one. He was my jar opener so now I need that jar opening gadget. I love the flour duster!
I have watched you struggle to get back to this new version of yourself and you inspire so many with your can do spirit!
You have been working towards finding your new normal. Finding these tools has been part of that, but depending on the Lord has made an even bigger impact! Thank you for being so open with the struggle, as well as being so open about Who has helped you through. May God continue to richly bless you! 💖
AMEN! Thank you!!!!! oh Nancy, you so get it! God bless you!
Heather you are an inspiration from God. With all the struggles your faith in God is still the center of your life. God is the best physician and healer all we need to do is have faith and pray and ask others to pray with you. I’m going to pass this video to my niece who about 14 yrs ago had 3 mini strokes and left her with her right side almost no use at all. She was right handed but has learned to do with her left hand and she does great job with that. Thank you for sharing this video and the new you looks good on you. Keep smiling 😊 God loves you and so don’t I .
I have that under cabinet jar opener, it is WONDERFUL!
Heather, not only did I enjoy seeing the gadgets that you demonstrated, but I so very much needed to hear what you said towards the end of your video! I also experienced a TBI several years ago and, with God's grace, made it through. It is like grieving the loss of who you were. I recently had to retire unexpectedly due to MS, but right before that I had had my whole kitchen tore out and have not been able to fix it! Your kind words let me know that God sees exactly where I'm at and that He cares. I had just been reminiscing about how I used to cook for the holidays, and was feeling very sad when your video popped up. He always amazes me! Thank you, for your obedience. God bless!❤
I LOVE when the Holy Spirit works like that! Then you were one of the souls laying on my heart today to make this video. I am so sorry about your TBI and your MS diagnosis.... this life is full of such suffering and sorrow, but it's all about how we choose to pivot....how we choose to love and live and forgive through all of it. Helping one another. Loving one another. Look at this amazing platform brought us together! hahaha AMAZING! God is so good, and this video was for you, from him....I was just his tool to get you the message. God bless you sis! So much love to you.
@@TheKneadyHomesteader, thank you for your sweet response! Isn't God amazing?! Sometimes I literally laugh out loud at how wonderful and awesome He is to me! 🤣
Again, thank you for being obedient! Big hug 🤗

Love this. My husband shattered his wrist and had the same hardware put in. 10 months later the harware actually severed his thumb tendon, so back into surgery he went to replace the tendon and reattatch it. They also removed the hardware. The surgeon said his bones were a mess and didnt heal right and would likely need another surgery to rebreak his wrist and put hardware back in. Fast forward to about 6 weeks later my husband healed and had no issues regarding pain, his range of motion is for sure changed, he has limitations and things have changed. He uses the can opener as physio 😅, but as he ages i would def consider things like your can opener once arthritis sets in.
So glad you survived to love on your kids who need you. Handicaps and long-term issues I know are real... but life is still good.
life is incredible and I am so thankful every morning when I wake up to live another day! to hug and love on my children. God is so good!
This is exactly the content you can best provide! Thank you so much.
This video was so inspiring to me, it was just what I needed. I just told my husband last night that I wished you would do a video on some of the tools you use in the kitchen and boom your video popped up today. God is so amazing, thank you for doing this. I just ordered the can opener and got one for my dad also. I suffer from arthritis in my back and I have a lot of joint pain so I have been trying to get any and all handy dandy tools I can find to make it easier on me to be in the kitchen and do the things I love. God bless you and have a great night with your sweet children.
Thank you Lord....and how you work! You then were laying heavy on my heart today. I knew I NEEDED to make this and I am so glad I was obedient to the voice that is not mine AKA the Holy Spirit! hahaha Thank you Father God!!!! God is so good!
I loved this video Heather, it's so very helpful to see these kitchen gadgets. My husband says thanks for the Christmas present ideas. 😊
We have 3 of those battery operated can openers and love them!
Oh Heather you are so amazingly kind and giving. Truly a blessing to so many. These will surely help with tough issues I face with my hands and wrists. God bless. Your love shines. 🙏 ❤
Thanks for sharing these gadgets! I just purchased a couple of them and shared this video with my daughter who is an OT.
Thank you sweet momma, these are amazing tools, I love them all but that can opener is great, I may just look at getting my mom one for Christmas, I am going to get myself the spoon for flour, I just love that, Thanks again Sweet Momma big hugs and much love from NC 🙏❤️🥰😍😊😘
Thank you, Heather your video did help me tremendously. It inspired & encouraged me. When I got divorced, I felt I had lost my identity because I was no longer a wife. Then I lost my mom in 2021, so I was no longer a caregiver. That was another facet of my identity that I felt I lost. However, I just purchased her house. So, I'm struggling to find my identity again. I came across this video this morning & I want to thank you because these "gadgets" would be amazing assets to my kitchen, as I broke my finger on my dominant right hand just trying to do something around this house & I have arthritis. So it has been a challenge to do the basic things around here. Again thank you so much! : )
So informative and inspirational. I have limitations from arthritis and fibromyalgia, so these ideas are wonderful. It made me think of other friends with challenges too. Thanks beautiful friend.
~Kentucky Angie
Blessings to you and your sweet family.
Heather, I have been watching your channel for years, even when you all had the mobile home and I was inspired to learn to can and bake bread from your channel. I hate the fact that you all suffered such a tragic loss, but, so thankful God was able to bring you back to us, as I love watching your channel and you are an inspiration to us all. Cooking and your inspiration are the gifts God gave you to share with others and we are thankful for all you do and bring even when it is a struggle.
Heather, you touch so many hearts. God is using you in such a powerful way. I continue to pray for you and your family. Thank you for the jar opener!!! Jars are such a struggle. God Bless
How nice that they have these things that are able to make life easier for you
such a blessing! a complete game changer! gave me so much independece back!
God only knows how much I needed to watch this video. I suffer from degenerative arthritis which has progressed quickly and has made so many things I love to do truly difficult. Handling my canners and even removing casseroles from the oven have become a hard and dangerous task these days, so I’m so glad you shared these items that will make things much easier and remove the sense of feeling that I won’t be able to do these things on my own. Thank you and God bless you Heather, may the Most High continue to use you through this platform that has made a huge difference for so many of us. Truly grateful❤️❤️❤️
Great demonstration
Thank you Heather. I have lymphoedema and my legs swell so i understand legs that hurt. I have to sit down to do my everyday things in the kitchen. I even have some of your gadgets. They are a big game changer. I had to find a new normal too. Its a bit difficult saying goodbye to once was but it getting a bit better everyday
it is really hard.....I really struggled.....grieving so much all at once. But GOD! All glory to the Father for getting me through it all. I am saying a prayer for you, and your comfort, may you get some relief. Keep moving forward like you are and thank you for sharing that with me. Others who read your comment will feel less alone. xoxo
That can opener is definitely what I need... Thank you, Heather, for sharing, and may God continue to bless and use you for His ministry !!!!!!!😊
AMEN! THANK YOU! All glory to God!
@@TheKneadyHomesteader...O yes ma'am indeed!!!
Thank you, Heather. You put into words what I have been going through "loss of identity." I really needed that. Again, thank you.
Cheers, Lynn
You are so welcome! I am so glad this was helpful to you....and I completely understand where you are. I am praying for you and cheering you on from the sidelines here! So much love to you!
This particular video was PERFECTLY timed! Our tools in the kitchen are extremely important and we need to hear it said! Setbacks while trying to accomplish food preparation can be almost devastating at times. Thank you Heather for taking the time to share this with us! 💗
My dad bought a meat locker/butcher shop more than 40 years ago that had been closed and put the butcher block in their kitchen. When they moved, it was so heavy that they just left it. I really miss it. It was wonderful. I enjoyed this video because I have some health challenges. Several years ago, I watched quite a few UA-cam videos about kitchens of the 40s and 50s where they had sit down workspaces. I revamped my kitchen to make some spaces like that because I’m short and regular countertops are too tall, which makes working in the kitchen burdensome and less fun. Having workspaces at the right height, and the right tools, makes all the difference and the world. It’s nice to see more options for making my time in the kitchen even easier.
I missed your bubbly laugh and it’s nice to here again I have had Ms for years and I so wish they would have had those 20 years ago and your cinnamon roll bread is my absolute favorite and you have encouraged me over the last few years to not give up on baking, you are truly a blessing. God Bless you
oh I wish I could hug you, Kimberly!!!!! God bless and now I want to make cinnamon roll bread. haha
Great video thanks Heather for sharing this ,iam sure this video is going to help a lot of people,so nice to see you back in your kitchen
I just used the Kitchen Mama for this evenings supper.
I have arthritis and this is the best can opener ever.
Thank you for suggesting this. ❤
I LOVE IT!!!!! And another good review for it! THANK YOU!!!!
I am happy to see what gadgets you use! I have Cerebral Palsy and some things are hard for me to do. I will definitely be getting those gadgets!!
Thank you so much for this informative video....I’m combating fibro and Arthrisis in my hands..... some of these items are real game changers! God Bless you and your beautiful family....🙏🙏
Hi Heather! These are great gadgets! For anyone really. That jar opener was so cool al of them .Thank you and God bless you😊🍂🧡🙏
I love the battery can opener, so nice for my arthritis
Thank you Heather I am handicapped also in my hands and legs also have fibro and arteritis. Its hard for me to type this out but thank you for showing this. I to lost my husband a few years ago , we were married almost 44years. I find it difficult with out him . I had to sell my home and change my whole life around but thanks to our LORD I am doing good now. Love you and my prayers with you.
Firstly, thank you for taking the time to type that out to me. God bless you. I now how painful typing can be. I appreciate you doing that. 44 years.....so long yet not long enough! I am so so sorry for the loss of your beloved. Only another widow or widower can fully understand that level of loss. It changes everything! I am so glad you redoing well. God and his tender mercies....and his grace. Thank you Lord for being so close to the brokenhearted.
Heather, this video was such a blessing for me. An autoimmune disease struck me back in 2015 and everything changed and became a struggle for me. God is good and He gives me the grace and strength to do the things I must do. Some of these things you presented here seem like life savers, especially that jar opener under the counter. I too, have very weak hands and wrists! Thank you so much for sharing. God bless you and merry Christmas!
Thank you Heather, for sharing these great tools, even for us that are just getting older and body parts are getting tired.
Just wondering about the oil and vinegar dispensers. Do they seal shut, to prevent bugs getting in? Sometimes in my kitchen these little buggers appear out of nowhere!
Bench scrapers are the best, aren't they!
I'm glad you related the challenges you're still having, though it makes me sad to see. Your smile makes us forget you still struggle in many ways. May Jesus continue to give you strength, joy, and complete miraculous healing, from head to toe! ❤
You, dear lady, are truly jaw-droppingly beautiful. Your heart and spirit are breathtaking and inspiring. I can not watch any of your videos without tears and swells of awe. May the Holy Spirit surround you with grace, hold you close, and guide you through your life. Heather, you are always in my prayers. (I just ordered the under-counter jar opener and a couple more of your recommendations too.)
Mary, you made me cry! Thank you for such loving words.... thank you! Now come back and let me know how those tools work for you!!!! God bless you....I love you!
Hi Heather, thank you for all the tips of making life a little bit easier, we all need that. You’ve come along way , God is good. I will definitely search for some of these products. God bless.❤🙏🏻
Thank you for watching Dori and God bless you! It's been quite a ride, hasn't it? So grateful you are here. So much love to you!
God bless you, Heather 🩷🙏🏻
thank you Ann! So much love to you Sis! xoxo
Happy Wednesday God Bless You 🙏❤️
Hi Bree!!!!
Heather, Darlen, you go right into my heart with your videos. God uses you in such a wonderful way.
Great video, thank you👍🏻
My pleasure!😁❤️
Heather, Thank you for sharing all the ideas to help for different challenges. Your videos & content always make my day. I love listening & watching them. You explain things well & give me confidence to try things out of my wheelhouse. God’s blessings to you and yours. 💜
oh Penny, this mad emo night. Thank you! And thank you for being here with me. God bless and sending you so much love!
It really resonated with me when you were talking about suffering from anxiety and how baking bread and doing things in the kitchen were a way for you to cope with it and after your injuries, one of the difficult things was not being able to be you or feel like you and not being able to cope in the way you were used to coping. I was actually in deep thought about that the past few days. I also had health issues that took a long time to recover from and financially, I lost everything. I got married around the same time and at first everything seemed fine, but I soon learned that I was in a financially abusive relationship and had zero autonomy, no help gaining my independence, no access to money etc.. and I didn't realize how I used things like my car, my phone, or money to cope or self-soothe when things got rough. We all call a friend when we're angry or depressed and afterwards we feel so much better or if we're in a fight or situation we don't want to be in, we can get in our car just to take a drive and get out of the house or we can use money to buy ourselves a nice birthday present or just spend a day shopping and I never realized how much those things helped me cope until I lost them. So I really teared up when you talked about losing coping mechanisms and it's horrible because you feel so stuck like you have no where to turn, but also like you mentioned, when you feel like you have nothing left and no way to cope, you turn inwardly to your faith, changing your mindset and getting resourceful like you did here with finding gadgets that could assist you! Bless you, you beautiful soul! Your videos bring me so much comfort and I have learned so much from you over the years and it warms my heart to watch your journey of growth! It is so inspiring!
Hello. Love this. I think everyone has challenges and it’s ok to find and share those information with each other.
I couldn't agree more with you, Pete!!!
Thank you for another practical and heartfelt video. That salt and pepper shaker is so awesome! 😘😘😘
You are so welcome! YES..... I dont even have to shake them! haha And, the light makes it so easy to see your food and what you are salting! LOL
Several of these items, I already have on an order list for Walmart. So, if you are having difficulties finding any of these items, you might be able to find them through Walmart and they are very inexpensive. Thank you for this video. ♥♥
In 2017, I had a heart attack and stroke at yhe same time. Thru complications, I became legally blind and developed sever neuropathy in my hands and feet. I too, have had to find gadgets and hacks to be useful again. I have learned to can, I make bread, cheese,, butter, coffee creamer, I feel with the right gadget, I can do whatever I want. I still sew, with magnifyers on my machines. I am getting a few things you have shown. No shame in helpers. Thank you for sharing!
Thank you for sharing. I’m in the crochet/knitting community and these would be great, for anyone ❤
Thank you!!!! OHHHH how I wish I could crochet or knit! I am in AWE of the talent you ladies have. Mind blowing!
@@TheKneadyHomesteader I shared your video with my knit night group, am sure they will be interested. Thank you, I’m in awe of your bread making❤️❤️
Sending blessings Heather and God bless you! You have blessed more than I can say, with the feeling in, my heart and spirit! I had an accident in my home 1 1/2 years ago, that left unable to walk, I’m in P T now. Different reasons that put a delay on my PT. However nothing as unimaginable as your devastating tragedy to you, your family and the loss of your beloved, my most sincere condolences. YES, my dear you have so blessed me in more ways than one, physically, spiritually and mentally, thank you, courageous and beautiful Heather! Undoubtedly there are many more on this channel that have been blessed by this video and others, you’ve shared with us. I’m new to your channel, and it is part of the repertoire, of Blessings and answers to prayer! God bless you and yours, during this season and always❣️🎄🥰
Heather I just started watching you and you are such a sweetheart and a blessing , I used to to very active and last 3 years I started having pain all over my body and I’m 63 years old but I’m in constant pain all drs could tell me was that I chronic fatigue and fibromyalgia so I have days where I can’t do a lot so watching you has really encouraged me not to give up ,your truly an inspiration god bless you for everything you do .
Giiiiirrrllll, you and I should go garage saling sometime! We would have a blast!! I love these items, you are right you lose your identity when you cant do the things you use to. I know my struggles are minimal compared to others (severe R.A.) but i can sympathize so much with what you are explaining. Its tough when you have to relearn to do what you love differently. The struggle is real!! God Bless you for your inspiration, your heart, and your candidnace. Sweet Sister, you are changing lives and opening hearts and you are helping women to gain power again!! Thank you 🙏🙏🙏❤️🌹
Thankyou, Heather, so much. I have fibromyalgia and osteoporosis, and l do miss the old Bev, who was a drumming bunny, with no Off Button. (Need a hand? Bev'll do it. Need that wardrobe shifted? Bev'll do it.) I planted trees, and dug the holes in compacted clay as hard as. But not now. Inside, l am still me, but my body just won't/can't do what it used to. And yes, l have found asking God for inspiration and advice has been so good. Like l say to Him.... He got me into this, so He must know the way out, over, around or through it. And He does. I had a jar opener that worked the same as your can opener. Absolutely wonderful, as l had had a "mystery virus" that took all the strength from my arms, hands and fingers. After a year or so, it finally met a lid it couldn't open, and busted a gasket trying, poor thing...but it was good while it lasted. Haven't seen one since, sadly, but thank God my hands etc have vastly improved over the years... Thankyou for your encouragement, and sharing these great ideas. Love to you, and God bless. X0 ❤🫂
just sending you a truckload of hugs. God has made His face to shine on you.
A GREAT BIG THANK YOU HEATHER! This was Wonderful!! I have Many Challenges & Struggle with Everything!! So the items you showed could be so Useful. PRAY FOR ME!! GOD BLESS YOU ALWAYS!! You have Come So FAR..
In the mighty name of Jesus, Father I come to you to pray over Ms. Elaine....you know her struggles Lord, you know her pain.....cover her with your right hand, Father God.....and help guide her feet and she learns to pivot and find new ways to overcome. All gory goes to your, Father.....and we thank you for connecting us and using me as a tool to reach Elaine and so many others. Thank you! Thank you for loving us..... in your righteous and Holy name I pray, AMEN!!!!
Love you Elaine!
YOU AMAZE ME! Bless you❤
thanks for watching Nina!!!! xoxo
I'm so glad you are able to still do the things you love, as a fellow fibromyalgia sufferer that can opener is something I will be calling home, thank you for sharing these items that can help so many ♥
oh Carmen....God bless you and the pain of fibro.....my heart is with you. You will LOVE that can opener! If ou get it, come back and let me know whatcha think! xoxox
Heather - that electric can opener is going to save my life!! My tendonitis is so painful and this will do the trick. God bless you!!
You need the greater that suctions to the counter and you put stuff in the top and turn the handle and it grated everything fast and easy ! And comes apart for the dishwasher 💕
I JUST BOUGHT IT! hahaha I saw a tiktok lady.... Mississippi Kween I think is her name....she has one! I have not used it yet! I need to buy block cheese now! hahaha Maybe I should record using it for the first time?
Lol I have 3 lol Incase one breaks ! Just used the slicer blade and made a big bowl of thin sliced potatoes and made scalloped potatoes to freeze !!! perfect to grate zucchini and carrots and cabbage!!!!
Yes honey they still make butcher blocks. They are very expensive. Thank you for sharing 🎉❤😊
You almost seem like the old Heather ❤ The joy is shining through!
thank you! From the ashes...... :)

Hello! ☺️
👌🏽 Thank you for sharing!🫶
💜💜💜
thank you for watching, Elsa!!!!!
You have come a long way and you are an inspiration to many of us! I have arthritis bad in my hands and wrist ( and other places ) I have the under cabinet jar opener and love it it really works and helps , I also have the salt and pepper grinder love them as well, But seeing the can opener really will make a big difference for me thank you so much for sharing. Praying for you and your sweet family and wishing you well.🙏💕
YAY! I am so glad to hear you love those tools too and let me know what you think of the can opener when you get it!!!! So much love to you Rosanna! xoxo
Heather
Love this!
I have rheumatoid arthritis and some days, even opening a ziplock bag is challenging 😂
I do find kneading bread by hand is therapeutic. My spouse bought the pro kitchen aid, and to me, by the time I take it off the shelf , wash it, use it, wash it again, it's easier to just do it old school. 😂
I do love these gadgets ❤😊
YES!!!! I know that pain. Thank goodness for those slider baggies......but they are pricey! LOL I find dough therapeutic too.....God bless you sis. I am so sorry you live with such pain. Sending you all my love!
A lot of great items. I have carpal tunnel so some of these would be great for me. Thank you for sharing. You are so strong Heather. So glad you are back doing what you love. God Bless you all. Have a blessed day.
I absolutely adore you! I love your spirit. I love heart. I love that joy that beams from you. You have such a beautiful heart. You are a beautiful soul. You are SO inspiring! 💫✨️💖
Boos makes a butcher block like your antique one. Very expensive. I'm so glad you have it, it will serve you well for eons! Thanks for sharing all your gadgets and ways of doing things. I have bad wrists and have a couple of those items but I have a few of yours now on my list! Thanks so much for sharing.
it is definitely an heirloom piece! Glad they still make them but with the price of lumber I can only imagine how much a new one would cost! haha Thank you for letting me know I was curious! Thanks for watching!
Heather, I bought a can opener simular to your electric can opener. I HAVE to get this new can opener!!!! Thanks for sharing this item.
YES girl YES!!!! hahaha it is a game changer!!!!
Thanks for this video. I am wheelchair bound and I found that just a wire clothes hanger with a loop big enough to to go over my cabinet knobs and the other end is just a hook so I can pull my spice rack to the front of the cabinet so I can reach them. My rack is just a little wrought iron double shelf that holds the spice bottles perfectly. I opened a drawer and put the jar opener under the drawer to open my jars. I can't reach it if it's under the upper cabinet. Drawers usually have a space under the bottom and this works well. I use an electric can opener and I also have a battery operated one. I also have a cutting board that fits on my lap and I can carry things, chop things, and do small jobs at a comfortable height. Maybe my things can help some one too. Love you and your videos.
Linda! Those are all fantastic tips and tricks! I wish I could come over and make a video sharing your solutions to these kids of challenges!!!!
@@TheKneadyHomesteader That would be super fun! If you are ever in the Texas Panhandle, I'm easy to find, just off I-40. Maybe I will have learned a few more tips to tell you about. I find that as needs are shown, there has to be an answer to them without costing a fortune and that anyone can make for themselves. I know there are many people who have simple solutions that we could all use. Thanks.
Heather...challenges?! Not a dynamo like you! You are awesome ❤
hahaha God love ya, Donna! xoxoxox
Heather, thanks for some ideas!! Listening to you, is pretty much how I feel. I'm sick sad, I guess alot because of Caysen. If not one thing it's another with him. We all just cry, cry, cry!!!!! They say his health issues come from where he was sooooooo preemie!!!!!!! And of course, this world is in such turmoil!! Thanks for listening to my rant. Take care and God Bless you and your family.
Such a blessing ,sweet girl,theseare wonderful!
thank you for watching Bonnie!
I’ve boughten 4 of these so far. For myself and others friends. Thank you for sharing these items. You’re doing great. ❤😊
Kathy, you are my kind of lady! Practical gifts that can actually help folks are my favorite kind to give!!!!
that tool you use for flour and sugar is also a loose tea infuser. never thought of using it for powdered sugar! great idea. also, check out an appiance by black and decker called Lids Off. I have one plus a spare. it opens any jar at the push of a button. I can't live without it.
Lisa!!!!! Now I need to use it for tea! I am going shopping with my girlfriend Wendy to this little organic tea shop! I thought I had to buy a ball....heck I have one! HAHAHA thats awesome! Thank you!
@TheKneadyHomesteader I love love love loose leaf tea! I use a Japanese tea basket that sits on/in my mug but also have a spoon infuser.
You are definitely an inspiration to me. I too lost my husband and it was very difficult to get through it. I also have turned to making bread to help me heal.
I am so sorry Linda. Praying for you Sis. 😭💔 we will make bread together.
Thank you for sharing. I have also been adjusting to limitations. I am 69 and still making changes in my life.
Heather its "Adaptive kitchen gadgets" love it

Gotta lot of cool gadgets there Heather, I'm loving the can opener. It's really hard doing an older kind of can opener sometimes. Hope everybody is well in your neck of the woods!!
Hi Janet!!!! We are doing great here....hope you are doing just as great! :D This can opener is definitely a game changer. I dont have to ask for help anymore....especially on chili night, when I have 10 cans to open! ahahaha

thanks Mandi!!!! Merry Christmas!
Hi Heather, I am new to your channel. Thanks for showing some of the gadgets that you use for your hands. I am starting to get arteritis in my fingers. I'm going to check out a few of these, especially the bottle opener. The light beside it is a bright idea.
Have a blessed day.
💛 from 🇨🇦.
Thank you so much for this, Heather! I have Dupruytren’s disease, which makes my hands weak and I have to protect them carefully to prevent new nodules. Opening bottles/jars and cans is especially difficult. I found a hand held jar opener, but it’s bulky to store. I can’t wait to try your doohinky! And, while I adore my Pampered Chef can opener, I’m realizing I can no longer operate it well. That can opener is awesome! 🎉 This was an answer to prayer. Thank you so much! Blessings…♥️
❤. You are so loved! What an incredible journey this has been for you and your family. Your spirit and incredible outlook are inspiring!
Amen AMEN!!!! It has been quite the journey! I hope when I get to heaven..... Jesus is proud and so is my Matty. xoxox
I bought the inder cabinet jar opener & love it. Thank you for all the recommendations.
YAY!!!! Oh this makes my heart so happy! God bless!

Wow, thank you! Now that is cool!!!!!
@@TheKneadyHomesteader ❤️
I love those salt and pepper shaker, thanks for turning us on to those! P&T
I can't thank you enough for this video. I too have arthritis (3 kinds in my hands and wrists) and I know the pains you described. I am ordering the automatic can opener, because even though I have found other things to help my hands do things easier, opening cans is a continual challenge. I switched to cans with pull tabs for a few years to avoid the twisting motion, but now need something else. This looks perfect!
sometimes dollar tree has the board scrapers.....I paid a good bit for mine at a kitchen store, and then DT started getting them. I love mine too.
