I am a single woman that lives alone and I love your channel! You don't preach to us, you seem very honest, and you don't sweat the small stuff! I like to watch because your content reminds me of the comforts of home when I was a child.
As your probably minority male gay viewers with no children although my husband acts like one, I have to say I love your channel, your real and authentic. Ive learned so many good recipes and tips. Hugs from DC!
Love all of your videos Jen! I am a single mom, working in Healthcare from Canada. I am a workaholic with a tell it like it is attitude and an off the cuff sense of humour. You have truly been an inspiration to me. You have made me feel like I am not alone in the craziness. I have a passion for Healthcare and helping people, but some days, between work and home, it's a lot! So, from someone that can so relate, thank you! Thank you for sharing the good, bad and funny and of course Murphy!
Yay!!! I love this new schedule you have with the videos. I love knowing when one is going to come out so I can be waiting for it. I enjoy listening to them at night time before I go to bed… Thanks for all the hard work. You are a rockstar!!! LOL
Your cooking and weekly shop videos keeps me going as a full time working mum with a young child. Sometimes I get tired of the long week and chores but I know I am not alone. People like you are a great example and motivation 😊🌈💕
I love coming to your channel. And yes thank you for representing the working moms. And not just that but all of us healthcare professionals. Right now people either hate us or love us. And it's very hard when all we have been doing since the beginning is doing what we love.
Yes! I love that you work outside the home, and are dealing with working from home now. It's very much my situation and it helps me to see someone doing some of the same things
Yeay, another video! I don’t know how you do it and I hope you get the rest you need, but it makes my day to see the email notice that you have just posted. You are a bright light during these uncertain times. Hugs to you.
Jen I’m a total procrastinator, with or without toddlers and babies. I started to feel good when you said you wouldn’t be able to get so much done if your kids were still super young, but then I’ve been married for long before the kids arrived and I was still sitting around twiddling my toes :) I truly appreciate the effort you put into every video, taking the time to list out recipes, links and even adding so many details in your voice overs. I haven’t seen a single other UA-camr I watch take the trouble, and this along with your honesty, relatability and sheer commitment is going to get you a million+ subscribers very soon I’m positive. Another aspect I appreciate is your love for your family, you remember the details of what everyone likes and dislikes and make every effort to give each one special attention- wether it’s getting Adam his mushrooms and breakfast sausage or the way someone likes their sandwiches- even if cooking is your passion, you’ve lovingly woven it around your family and they’re truly blessed to have you as their parent, spouse and dog mom, which I’m sure they appreciate too!
I (as a wife with no kids) find your channel totally “relatable”. I find your content so relevant (and entertaining!) Thanks for doing all you do for your YT family! 💝
"Spend The Day With Me" Yes, please and thank you 🙂❤ PS- I'm a stay-home (due to health reasons) nearly- empty-nester. I'm NOT busy but enjoy your channel so much! I like to see all kinds of women being successful at whatever they do. Above all else, I seek realness. You completely fit the bill for me. Also your food content (I'm a foodie from WAY back) is top notch!♀️❤
I never knew how much I could load my dishwasher until I started following you (like how much would fit in and actually get clean)🤣 now I'm like load that b&^%^ up!!
I recently found you! It’s fun to follow someone so similar! I was a daycare provider in my home and have been doing UA-cam for years as well and sharing how I’m productive as a working mom. Now I’m just watching one child since the pandemic started and finding a new balance with my two daughters (2 and 5) and one baby girl on the way at the end of summer! Thanks for the awesome relatable content!
The tooth fairy, Santa, Easter bunny etc stuff is SO FUN! Nobody tells you that it's more fun as a parent than it was as a kid. We're so in love with it, our tooth fairy even comes if kids have a good dental cleaning (my son is 5, so that's if he lets them do 100% of the appointment). For cleaning, she usually leaves a small present. So fun!
Jen I watch and love your videos. I am disabled and can't work anymore and watching your videos gives me motivation to do what I can to cook and clean. Thank you for making your videos!!!
Hi Jen, as always I want to truly thank you for for your video and sharing your life with us. I love listening and you are my company while I'm either cooking or cleaning and sometimes even before bed lol. You have inspired me in so many little ways and I am honestly grateful. 😘❤
I am working from home full time.. Dallas area in Texas, we are horrible in COVID numbers. I wanted to say I have found getting ready before work is key to motivation. I have also found that meal prepping my snacks and lunch is the only way to go as well... otherwise I snack poorly and sometimes missed lunch bc I didn’t have time to fix something or didn’t want to. I also find color blocking on my calendar along with the time constraints help... meaning on my work calendar I will add a couple of time slots and color coded for personal tasks ... kind of like a break. But I lock my computer and get up and then go do 1 thing dedicated for that time on my personal to do list. So I’ll wash fruits/veggies... or load of laundry... or I dedicate 20 minutes to picking up or vacuuming. These tips have helped me stay on top of work life and home life.... thanks Jen for all your tips and motivation!!! You are a part of my personal time today as I washed my lettuce and put it away for the week!!!!
Retired as an OR nurse open heart .. I just found you couple of days ago . I subscribed ! God bless ... I love your videos . Thank you for sharing your life
My family and I live in Phoenix, Az. We are being quarantined now because we all have been infected. Watching my 2 year old son fight the virus was the hardest. He was shaking and burning up. He wouldnt eat for two days. I loss my sense of smell and taste but slowly getting that back. Can smell hints of things and can taste finally. My husband is having a rough go. I felt better after a week and he is still feeling congested and drained. My son is better now. We social distance, we wear mask but my office never went to work from home until I got infected. I was patient zero. I'm glad they finally went to work from home. We had the technology but they didnt want to "herd wild cats" were their exact words I'm actually happy I got it because it taught them a very valuable lesson.
I had this on and my husband walked in while you were talking about having cups of bacon in your fridge. He said “is that a thing? Can we make that a thing?” 😂
We're still staying at home entirely except for grocery pickups. My husband is working from home until his bosses decide to open their offices back up, so we're doing all we can to do our part ❤️ thanks for being a part of the workers who are essential and actively trying to help the situation ❤️
I agree about the air pod. Just have the regular ones too and they make cleaning and other chores seem like less work because I can listen to whatever I want while working and everyone else can watch tv or whatever they want also.
I bought ear pods 2 weeks ago....you’re right, they changed my life....why didn’t I buy them sooner! I love them and am way more productive, I enjoy listening to UA-cam videos while I’m doing my housework.....I sing their praises to everyone....
I really enjoyed this video. I like how you explain things, the variety of activities and your calm voice. You work really long days. I guess that's your ambition at work.
I made that soup the other night and my husband love it. I really enjoy listening to music or UA-cam while I’m cleaning or cooking I really motivated me.
Wooohooo another video by Jen before bed. I really enjoy watching you Jen. You are the realest of the working UA-camr's I watch. I appreciate everything you do for us your subscriber's. Have a great evening and day tomorrow.
Hi there! Here in New Jersey we are still very limited in any activities and our numbers are also on the rise again. My job in the hospital requires me to be on site, so it’s up at 4:15am 5 days a week. I have found, even on the weekends, it makes me so much more productive when I get dressed, do my makeup, and I am an earring girl too! It just makes me happy! Thank you for continuing to make your wonderful videos!
I’m in Texas I was still going in with the exception of 1 work from home day. But since cases here in Texas have increased quite a bit more I’m WFH probably until the end of the year. Getting up & getting ready definitely makes me more productive. If I stay I’m my jammies I’ll just want to sit on UA-cam! 😁
Hi Jen! I know I don't always comment but I have been watching for a long time! Congrats on 100k! Thanks for sharing your life with us. Hope you are all staying healthy and safe. As for us in NY we are doing well considering how bad it had been. I hope it continues that way. I. work in a school so no work for me till September ... hopefully!! I miss the regular routine but I have been trying to work harder on my (small) UA-cam channel. Thanks for the mom, family, cooking, prepping and UA-cam inspiration!!
One reason I really love you channel is that we are both from Iowa, so when you grocery shop I have access to the same stores and ingredients. I like the rural Iowa representation!
I always work in chunks of time. I’m retired and can’t work for hours so I realized that several chunks of time gets the work done. In between work segments, I watch UA-cam videos. Murphy is so cute.
I really loved the top down view when you were cleaning your countertops! I'm a sort of full time working mom as I work in an elementary school and have the same hours as my kids. Although, I've been home since March. So my house is very clean and I think I've decluttered every last inch of it.
Thank you so much for your channel, I get such motivation from you. You also have a great family even that husband of yours that keeps himself hidden:) and that Murphy is adorable!
Your videos are so motivating!! They make me want to put my butt in gear!! Thank you for your authenticity Jen!! I think inclusion and representation of all people, in all realms is so important right now. ❤️
Hello from Toronto ! Enjoyed the content. I am not a working mom , but I certainly find many cues from your videos to help me figure out stuff for the week... I have 2 sons, 13 & 10 , so a lot of the times it helps to see what kind of snacks & lunches you make for your kids.
I’m a working mum, I work in a school in the UK, at the moment I’m in 3 days a week, we break up next week. You have motivated to try and clear out the spare room today!
Currently on maternity leave; mother of a 2 year old girl, Dannie, and a 2 month old son, Julien. My husband just went back to work and whew am I tired. But I love to watch you during my few moments of peace.
I'm a Sahm but my hubby works in retail so he's been working the whole time. I'm very thankful he didn't lose his job. We've been seeing family and going to the shop but for the most part we are staying home. People just make me so nervous out and about. They just can't keep the 2 metre distance at all it's so bad!
If you like avocados you have to try a plain bagel or an everything bagel with avocado mash and you can put whatever kind of spices you like in the mash and then add a sunny side up egg or a boiled egg and some bacon too ! It’s so yummy and such a filling breakfast or lunch
Way back you got me started on meal prep and I do it every week now. I do a lot of breakfast meal prep for me in the mornings and I love getting ready and already having breakfast done for me. Pop it in the microwave and I’m done ✅ I boil eggs every week and I can’t believe how much time it has saved me to in cooking. Just to eat for breakfast or to have them ready for salads and other meals. Thanks for always giving us helpful tips, ideas. I can’t wait to see that watermelon salsa recipe! Have a wonderful day tomorrow! Appreciate all you do for us!
The amount that you can get done in 90 minutes is absolutely insane and beyond impressive. You are an inspiration to someone turning 24 in 9 days ☺☺☺☺☺
I don’t know if this is ever been mentioned before, but have you tried packing their lunches as if they were going to school but just eat them at home? I do that for my kids and it’s something they actually enjoy and look forward to. It also helps me since I’m working from home, and often have meetings around lunchtime. It’s easy for me to pull them out and give them to them without stressing. :-)
I have worked from home for years now. I don’t like own my own business but work for a company that has a very large work from home base - so the working from home is normal. But when we took our 19 month old out of daycare for a few months that was insanely hard. We are now on 119 days of social distancing and staying home as much as possible and honestly the hardest part is I have not seen friends or family in that time outside of my mom. None of us live in the same area so traveling to see each other while cases still climb in certain areas doesn’t seem like the greatest. THANKFULLY my best friend and her twins have also been social distancing as much as possible so we have a family vacation planned with them at the end of august where we rented a house so we can all just get outside of our houses.
Hi Jen. I am still quarantining. I have a lung disease that keeps me on oxygen 24/7, so I haven't been in a store or anywhere except my vehicle since before this whole virus started. I miss my family, but I know it's how I have to live to be safe right now. Maybe that's why I enjoy watching you and the rest of my UA-cam "girls" so much. It feels very much like visiting you all. I am so thankful for all of you who do videos and entertain me. I adore you and never miss your videos. No secret that I also adore your Connor as well. We don't see as much of Kiera, but she's a sweetie for sure. I was one who sent her a birthday card because I felt so bad that she was banished from having a real party this year. Gosh, those breadsticks looked amazing! This was so relaxing for me to watch. Goodnight, Sweetheart. Stay well.
I’m still working from home and LOVING it. I find it helps with work life balance. I live in Atlantic Canada and we recently opened up the Atlantic province’s borders (my province’s border was practically shut down). I live in a rural and remote area and we were lucky enough to escape this first round. People are becoming complacent now, which isn’t good.
I’m still working from home. I miss the office sometimes. Our numbers are rising and school starts soon so we are nervous about the future. We get out a little bit for sanity but mainly to outdoor spaces or to stores during less busy times. I’m over it.
Hi Jen! I found your channel thanks to the FrugalFitMom's suggestion. I am working outside of the home mom also. Thank you for the tip of adding instant mashed potatoes flakes to thicken soups. What a great idea!
PreK teacher here... waiting to hear what we are doing this year... started delivering pizza at dominos because I am so bored of just being at home since March 6th... lol 😆 But thanks for always just being the sweetest 💕 Have a great rest of your week Jen !
i agree with what you were saying about representation! i think that’s the beauty of youtube, i’m not a mom but a young woman starting out in my career & i find things about your videos, creativity & perspectives that i identify with which is amazing ☺️ especially how much you love coffee lol ☕️
Jenn I love cooking also. And I look forward to watch your videos everyday. U make my day. And don't worried about drinking to much coffee I drink it all day long. I love this creamer it's, coffee mate caramel latte. It is so good.
I’m still working at the office daily, I’m a medical assistant working in the doctors office. Up close and personal with COVID in this uncertain time. But the highlight of my day is watching your channel and also working on my own UA-cam channel. God bless you🥰🥰
I love that foundation bit I use the matte one since I have oily skin. Maybelline is one the best drugstore make-up! I use them wet and wild and occasionally Milani. And mascara from loreal
Hey Jen, just some make up pointers for you (even though you probably don’t want it it’s nice to share 🤣) when you put your foundation on you should dab the sponge on your face rather than rub and if you’re going to put your concealer on with your finger do it with your ring finger as it’s more gentle and won’t tug at your delicate skin around your eyes 😊😊 love you and your videos 😘😘😘
That was such a great video, Jen. Highly motivating and lots of good ideas. I have been watching your videos for over a year now and I’ve recently been thinking that you changed where you put the dishwasher tablet, so thanks for addressing that. Lol Thank you for sharing your life with us. I definitely connect with you the most on UA-cam because I’m a full time working mum who loves a good plan, even if everything doesn’t go to plan. 😂
My son is on a corn dog kick too??? Coming up with ideas (and energy) to do breakfast lunch dinner and snacks is getting hard since we are startng month 5 of being home! You are our inspiration though! Thanks for all the ideas!
I love my AirPods too. I totally agree with u. Life changing. I also love my nespresso aerolatte. Didn’t I tell u Nespresso rocks?? Love it. Our machine is two years old and is starting to make weird noises sometimes. Thinking of buying a new one. I made myself a cold brew when I got home from work at 8:15 last night. Totally caffeinated and I had the best sleep last night!! Weird.
Hey Jen! We’ve been doing okay. My husband worked from home the whole quarantine (since March?) but now he’s back part-time (part time at home). We love it! Other than that, we go to the grocery store but no where that we don’t have to. Even wearing a mask it’s not 100% safe. Just got word yesterday the kids will start school late (usually start 8/3, but now 8/17), and all kids will start the school year through online learning. After Fall I guess they’ll switch to the half in-person, half online schedule if people want? Anyway, your long videos are my favorite! We appreciate all you do! 💕
Posting videos at night when you are drinking coffee in them is mean because then I feel like I need coffee, but really I need to go to bed... Lol love your videos for real.
Girl! As good of a cook as you are and you're not making your Alfredo sauce from scratch?! I tell you, it is life changing! It has so much better flavor than the jars or the packets. Try it :) I love your videos and always look forward to watching!
Omg i love the rice cakes. I put peanut butter on it or I will spread cottage cheese on it with strawberries and honey or vanilla Greek yogurt with pb2 chocolate flavor and dip the rice cake in. Its yummy
I have been staying home since right before all this happened. I'm disabled and high risk so the hubs goes out for us. That soup is amazing. 😊 i have made it before myself and i actually perfer mine over olive garden. I find they tend to give more broth then ingredients. I totally know about gumbys pizza. Here in Michigan we used to have one open in east Lansing right by msu. But it is no longer open. Anyway love your channel love ya girl.😉
I am a single woman that lives alone and I love your channel! You don't preach to us, you seem very honest, and you don't sweat the small stuff! I like to watch because your content reminds me of the comforts of home when I was a child.
As your probably minority male gay viewers with no children although my husband acts like one, I have to say I love your channel, your real and authentic. Ive learned so many good recipes and tips. Hugs from DC!
Lol at your husband! 😜
I mean. My husband sometimes is the parent and sometimes I am, but yes... Sometimes he's counted in my"kid counter" 😂
Love all of your videos Jen! I am a single mom, working in Healthcare from Canada. I am a workaholic with a tell it like it is attitude and an off the cuff sense of humour. You have truly been an inspiration to me. You have made me feel like I am not alone in the craziness.

Yay!!! I love this new schedule you have with the videos. I love knowing when one is going to come out so I can be waiting for it. I enjoy listening to them at night time before I go to bed… Thanks for all the hard work. You are a rockstar!!! LOL
Your cooking and weekly shop videos keeps me going as a full time working mum with a young child. Sometimes I get tired of the long week and chores but I know I am not alone. People like you are a great example and motivation 😊🌈💕
I love coming to your channel. And yes thank you for representing the working moms. And not just that but all of us healthcare professionals. Right now people either hate us or love us. And it's very hard when all we have been doing since the beginning is doing what we love.
Yes! I love that you work outside the home, and are dealing with working from home now. It's very much my situation and it helps me to see someone doing some of the same things
Yeay, another video! I don’t know how you do it and I hope you get the rest you need, but it makes my day to see the email notice that you have just posted. You are a bright light during these uncertain times. Hugs to you.
Thank you so much for all the videos lately. It’s really inspiring me to get up and do more around my house and to cook more. So thank you.
Jen I’m a total procrastinator, with or without toddlers and babies. I started to feel good when you said you wouldn’t be able to get so much done if your kids were still super young, but then I’ve been married for long before the kids arrived and I was still sitting around twiddling my toes :)

Love ur channel. Could watch u everyday. Ur awesome and so true to life. My kind of person.
I'm a Sahm but my hubby works in retail so he's been working the whole time. I'm very thankful he didn't lose his job. We've been seeing family and going to the shop but for the most part we are staying home. People just make me so nervous out and about. They just can't keep the 2 metre distance at all it's so bad!
If you like avocados you have to try a plain bagel or an everything bagel with avocado mash and you can put whatever kind of spices you like in the mash and then add a sunny side up egg or a boiled egg and some bacon too ! It’s so yummy and such a filling breakfast or lunch
Way back you got me started on meal prep and I do it every week now. I do a lot of breakfast meal prep for me in the mornings and I love getting ready and already having breakfast done for me. Pop it in the microwave and I’m done ✅ I boil eggs every week and I can’t believe how much time it has saved me to in cooking. Just to eat for breakfast or to have them ready for salads and other meals. Thanks for always giving us helpful tips, ideas. I can’t wait to see that watermelon salsa recipe! Have a wonderful day tomorrow! Appreciate all you do for us!
The amount that you can get done in 90 minutes is absolutely insane and beyond impressive. You are an inspiration to someone turning 24 in 9 days ☺☺☺☺☺
I hope you have a great day!
Omg Murphy is a national treasure we must protect him at all costs

I don’t know if this is ever been mentioned before, but have you tried packing their lunches as if they were going to school but just eat them at home? I do that for my kids and it’s something they actually enjoy and look forward to. It also helps me since I’m working from home, and often have meetings around lunchtime. It’s easy for me to pull them out and give them to them without stressing. :-)
I have worked from home for years now. I don’t like own my own business but work for a company that has a very large work from home base - so the working from home is normal. But when we took our 19 month old out of daycare for a few months that was insanely hard. We are now on 119 days of social distancing and staying home as much as possible and honestly the hardest part is I have not seen friends or family in that time outside of my mom. None of us live in the same area so traveling to see each other while cases still climb in certain areas doesn’t seem like the greatest. THANKFULLY my best friend and her twins have also been social distancing as much as possible so we have a family vacation planned with them at the end of august where we rented a house so we can all just get outside of our houses.
You are so relatable. Thank you for your content.
Hi Jen. I am still quarantining. I have a lung disease that keeps me on oxygen 24/7, so I haven't been in a store or anywhere except my vehicle since before this whole virus started. I miss my family, but I know it's how I have to live to be safe right now. Maybe that's why I enjoy watching you and the rest of my UA-cam "girls" so much. It feels very much like visiting you all. I am so thankful for all of you who do videos and entertain me. I adore you and never miss your videos. No secret that I also adore your Connor as well. We don't see as much of Kiera, but she's a sweetie for sure. I was one who sent her a birthday card because I felt so bad that she was banished from having a real party this year. Gosh, those breadsticks looked amazing! This was so relaxing for me to watch. Goodnight, Sweetheart. Stay well.
Tennessee Pride sausage is all we eat. I hope you enjoyed it. The hot is even better. Thanks for another great video.
I’m still working from home and LOVING it. I find it helps with work life balance. I live in Atlantic Canada and we recently opened up the Atlantic province’s borders (my province’s border was practically shut down). I live in a rural and remote area and we were lucky enough to escape this first round. People are becoming complacent now, which isn’t good.
I’m still working from home. I miss the office sometimes. Our numbers are rising and school starts soon so we are nervous about the future. We get out a little bit for sanity but mainly to outdoor spaces or to stores during less busy times. I’m over it.
Hi Jen! I found your channel thanks to the FrugalFitMom's suggestion. I am working outside of the home mom also. Thank you for the tip of adding instant mashed potatoes flakes to thicken soups. What a great idea!
I love your channel. Be safe.
Hello my friend you r doing amazing thing!! Pat yourself on the back!! I just love your videos
PreK teacher here... waiting to hear what we are doing this year... started delivering pizza at dominos because I am so bored of just being at home since March 6th... lol 😆 But thanks for always just being the sweetest 💕 Have a great rest of your week Jen !
Awww... Murphy says "Come out with me for a minute!" LOL. Nice video - realistic as always!
Hi from both a fellow Iowan and a nurse :-) I just want to let you know I am really enjoying your channel. Cooking goals!
i agree with what you were saying about representation! i think that’s the beauty of youtube, i’m not a mom but a young woman starting out in my career & i find things about your videos, creativity & perspectives that i identify with which is amazing ☺️ especially how much you love coffee lol ☕️
I am doing pretty well in quarantine Jen. I am hoping to go back to work next month.
For the soup, I use cauliflower in place of the potatoes to make it low carb....it’s very good that way too
Jenn I love cooking also. And I look forward to watch your videos everyday. U make my day. And don't worried about drinking to much coffee I drink it all day long. I love this creamer it's, coffee mate caramel latte. It is so good.
I’m still working at the office daily, I’m a medical assistant working in the doctors office. Up close and personal with COVID in this uncertain time. But the highlight of my day is watching your channel and also working on my own UA-cam channel. God bless you🥰🥰
Thank you Robin for being front a d center. I wish you to never get this
My family and I have it now. Please be as safe as possible
Lyric Chevelle thank you 🥰
Also sending prayers too you and your family 🥰
I love that foundation bit I use the matte one since I have oily skin. Maybelline is one the best drugstore make-up! I use them wet and wild and occasionally Milani. And mascara from loreal
Hey Jen, just some make up pointers for you (even though you probably don’t want it it’s nice to share 🤣) when you put your foundation on you should dab the sponge on your face rather than rub and if you’re going to put your concealer on with your finger do it with your ring finger as it’s more gentle and won’t tug at your delicate skin around your eyes 😊😊 love you and your videos 😘😘😘
Kate Evans girl I need all the makeup tips I can get 😂
That was such a great video, Jen. Highly motivating and lots of good ideas. I have been watching your videos for over a year now and I’ve recently been thinking that you changed where you put the dishwasher tablet, so thanks for addressing that. Lol Thank you for sharing your life with us. I definitely connect with you the most on UA-cam because I’m a full time working mum who loves a good plan, even if everything doesn’t go to plan. 😂
I made those pokey sticks a couple nights ago! So easy and so delicious!!! I rarely use yeast, but when I do I feel super cool. lol
Omg I'm glad you posted this cuz I was going to make the Tuscana soup tomorrow! 😋😋
Because of your love for the airpods, I got the Google version pixel buds! I love them!!
My son is on a corn dog kick too??? Coming up with ideas (and energy) to do breakfast lunch dinner and snacks is getting hard since we are startng month 5 of being home! You are our inspiration though! Thanks for all the ideas!
Those chocolate rice snacks are really tasty. Hope you enjoy them too.
I love my AirPods too. I totally agree with u. Life changing. I also love my nespresso aerolatte. Didn’t I tell u Nespresso rocks?? Love it. Our machine is two years old and is starting to make weird noises sometimes. Thinking of buying a new one.
I made myself a cold brew when I got home from work at 8:15 last night. Totally caffeinated and I had the best sleep last night!! Weird.
Hey Jen! We’ve been doing okay. My husband worked from home the whole quarantine (since March?) but now he’s back part-time (part time at home). We love it! Other than that, we go to the grocery store but no where that we don’t have to. Even wearing a mask it’s not 100% safe. Just got word yesterday the kids will start school late (usually start 8/3, but now 8/17), and all kids will start the school year through online learning. After Fall I guess they’ll switch to the half in-person, half online schedule if people want? Anyway, your long videos are my favorite! We appreciate all you do! 💕
Love love this , keep them coming !!! We mid west ladies have to stick together...😂😂❤️❤️
Posting videos at night when you are drinking coffee in them is mean because then I feel like I need coffee, but really I need to go to bed... Lol love your videos for real.
Girl! As good of a cook as you are and you're not making your Alfredo sauce from scratch?! I tell you, it is life changing! It has so much better flavor than the jars or the packets. Try it :) I love your videos and always look forward to watching!
We use the chocolate rice cakes with cashew butter on it ... Delish!!
I just started working and I get home super tired. Thank God my husband gets out earlier than me and starts dinner!
Omg i love the rice cakes. I put peanut butter on it or I will spread cottage cheese on it with strawberries and honey or vanilla Greek yogurt with pb2 chocolate flavor and dip the rice cake in. Its yummy
I have been staying home since right before all this happened. I'm disabled and high risk so the hubs goes out for us.
That soup is amazing. 😊 i have made it before myself and i actually perfer mine over olive garden. I find they tend to give more broth then ingredients.
I totally know about gumbys pizza. Here in Michigan we used to have one open in east Lansing right by msu. But it is no longer open. Anyway love your channel love ya girl.😉
Hey Jen love ur Chanel can’t wait to see a new one every day I’m amaze on how much work u do. Keep it coming regards from Sydney Australia.😀❤️
Congrats on 100K, love your videos, keep them coming have a great night busy BEE 🐝😄💖
I am as laid off from work after 20 years. Just trying to enjoy the summer. I live in NJ and we are able to do outdoor dining only.
