I missed these videos so so much. I completely get the whole balance between work and life. I’m a full time working mum from Sydney Australia, and I’m constantly trying to balance it all. That’s why I missed these videos so much, you give me so much inspiration!
Thank you so much for saying how different seasons of life take our focus. I am also a nurse and my hisband needs a caregiver right now and pulling away from work has been a huge struggle for me mentally as i feel like a failure as nurse because i always gave it my 100%.
Great video! I'm a coffee-a-holic, so I'd love a video on coffee drinks. I remember the sleepover days with my daughter and her friends. They were good kids but my problem was always with the one parent who could never seem to pick her daughter up on time. LoL I've been looking for a Pyrex dish like that myself, so fingers crossed that they'll have one at my Wal-Mart. Your patio looks nice, I hope you enjoy it.
My daughter has a friend who comes over and refuses to pick up when all the other kids do, and no one ever is invited to play in her house, and her daughter also goes and knocks on neighbors doors at 7am... & I've talked to her mom and all she said was, "she doesn't have to clean up at home." As much as I hate excluding kids I have to, I'm not going to have other kids or my myself clean up after her, I have expectations in my home.
What a coincidence, we just had a Greek buffet night with chicken, pita, pita chips, basmati rice, tazikis sauce, hummus, kalamata olives, olive tapenade, sliced red onions, feta crumbles, cucumbers, tomatoes, lettuce and Greek salad dressing. It was a hit!
I have been wishing or hoping you'd do a coffee at home video. I love seeing you make all your coffee drinks and thought grabbing all the clips and put them in one video would be 👍 Love your coffee bar and hoping to have my own one day.
So happy you posted a video! Missed you but I know your very busy. I remember having a family and working full time. It gets very busy. Can't imagine adding You Tube into it. You are missed though. Love the way your deck looks with the new furniture! It's been almost to hot to be outside though! Lol. Isntbyhat always the way? I'd love some ideas on how to make some coffee drinks with everyday ingredients and just a coffee maker(?) Asking to much? Do you have more meal ideas for small amounts? I don't mind eating leftovers once or twice.
Thanks Jen for another entertaining & motivating video. I actually "lol" when I saw your P.O. box number as it is the same as mine! I do hope your family pitches in with the housework as well but glad to hear you allow yourself a weekly cleaning service too. I finally gave in and had someone come in every 2 weeks for awhile.
I always look forward to your videos!! You give me so much motivation!! Loved your new outdoor patio furniture ❤ I hate to ask this but would you consider doing a day in life vlog? Miss those. Hope you had a great weekend !!
Fun Haul! you successfully influenced me this video lol I added the pyrex dish to my cart and bought the book 😊I've almost finished "My Policeman" so was ready for a new read.
Hello Jen … I just viewed your video and it’s so motivating .. I too am a working mom with 2 kids and boy work like balance is hard to do, I never have it that way something always gives.. but I try just like every working mom out there. My house too gets cluttered with everything and I am always tidying up after everyone.. but it’s life and I love my life :) have a great day
I did the same thing with Tide-had been using Gain or Kirkland brand and I noticed my whites weren’t as white as they should be. Switched back to Tide and all is bright again.
Jen, where did you get your meat chopper from? I've got a different brand, and I'm finding that meat is constantly getting stuck in it due to the design and yours looks like it might be easier to work with. Thanks!
The ina garten style is actually super popular with the tiktok kids lol it’s called coastal grandmother but I’m all for the breezy summer style. I feel too old for most “trendy” things but this one, I’m on board!!
Hi Jen, I’ve just received a notice from Amazon for a recall on Built Bars. I’m a little worried because I purchased the mixed box a couple weeks ago. Hopefully it’s just a precaution and nothing serious.
Hi Jen, have missed your videos the last couple of days, thanks for posting again :). Question? Is you dryer gas or electronic? Looking for a new one and wanted to know your experience with the Maytag
I like Tide but I’ve been using free and clear all because my Sam’s has it on sale every other month, and I like that too. The disinfectant I use with my colored clothes and a scent and that’s plenty for my hanging and dryer clothes. I use wool balls and no dryer sheets.
Great video! Your deck furnishings are just gorgeous, and I love that they have built-in covers! Major practicality points! Is Murphy doing okay? Or are you making his food because you are an awesome fur-mom and you want to do this for him?
Your deck looks amazing! Thank you for sharing that company, as I've been looking for outdoor furniture that can hold up to living up here (we're in MN), gotta be tough to handle our extreme weather - was 98 yesterday and come Dec/Jan, could be -30 without windchill. Love your videos! I'm with you, I prefer the scent of Tide over Gain and I think it cleans better too.
Thanks, Jen! Lots of great info, and SO much accomplished! Abrazos (Hugs) to you and the fam, and furry smooches from our sweet, big Kitty "Maui" for your sweet baby, Murphy! 🧡
Hi Jen! I have the same bread box as you. Do you have trouble getting the lid on yours? I have to wrestle with mine to get the lid on all the way and wasn’t sure if I just have a damaged one
Very nice Costco haul. And I'll have to check my Walmart for that Pyrex dish bc it looks amazing. Glad you explained the dog bc I was about to ask if Murphy got a new friend 😂. Wait, when did Keira turn 13? Isn't it crazy how quickly they grow up? Hope she enjoyed her sleepover. What is it about watching others clean? It really helps motivate me to get stuff done. You're amazing, Jen!
@@stacyrussell460 I understand that. It was 94° here today not including the heat index and it was very humuggy (humid and muggy) plus our air condition unit is still broken. We're trying to stay cool with a window unit and a fan. Hubby's on oxygen 24-7 due to Covid damaging his lungs.
I love Sonoma cheese crisps and the asiago whisps. They are great as croutons inn salad. I crunch them up and sprinkle them on top. Delicious. I'm not a fan of scented detergent. I use the unscented Kirkland detergent. Benn using it since my son was little. He's 26-1/2 now. I used dryer balls instead of Bounce. I'm living them. Got them at Walmart.
I feel like laundry detergent for me personally is all about association. About 15 years ago while in High School I worked at Burger King. At the time my mom used gain for her laundry so to me gain smells like Burger King and I refuse to use it! 😂
Morning Jen from Minnesota, Love your videos, so motivating! I’m very interested in your dog food. I went to the website, couldn’t find any recipes🤔 or maybe you have to buy the supplement before they allow you to get the recipes? Don’t have a instapot, but I do have a crockpot. Maybe a video would help about with the figuring of the calories for your dog food too. The vet says my dog should lose 4 lbs, I can relate😜. By the way, that chicken looks delicious!!!
I've found that some sunscreens work better on me than others. One brand in 50spf no burn, same brand 75spf I got burned. And thar was with copious reapplication. The best brand for me is a specific kids coppertone, but I'm testing heb 100spf as the coppertone smells like rubbing alcohol. So don't assume the sunscreen is bad, that particular product might just not work for your skin for whatever reason. I burn easily, I can't explain why product A works but product B which claims higher protection leaves me crispy crittered.
Right when I’m thinking, “Do I really have to buy coffee in pods or a Nepresso in order to have good iced coffee at home?” you offer to make videos about coffee drinks without that. YES, PLEASE, JEN! HELP ME CAFFEINATE AT HOME! I’ve got a special needs teen still in pull-ups and I do.not.have.time. Bless you! PS, look at those bottom teeth! Are you totally used to it now? I’m jelly and considering talking to my dentist, you influencer, you!
Jen I was in Bath and Body Works on Saturday and saw their Pride collection and thought of you. They have their semi annual sale right now and some excellent prices. I'm not sure when it ends though. My daughter works there and they don't even tell the associates when sales are starting and ending most of the time. Also I wish you good luck through the next few years of having a teenage daughter. The hormones are just wild. I also have a son and daughter. The teenage years was different between the two of them. It helped they are five years apart.
I always appreciate how real your videos are- as a fellow working mom I couldn’t agree with you more about the work/life balance.
I missed these videos so so much.
I completely get the whole balance between work and life. I’m a full time working mum from Sydney Australia, and I’m constantly trying to balance it all. That’s why I missed these videos so much, you give me so much inspiration!

Getting it done/productivity and work travel vlogs are my favorites♥️
Yes!!! Would love a coffee video ☕️

Love the Ina uniform reference. I spit laughed. This video has been long awaited! THANK YOU!
I would LOVE to see a coffee drink video! 😍
I would like a video with ideas for summer lunches and snacks for the kids.
Yes on a coffee video! I just do pour over and cold brew.
What a treat this was while washing my own unending sink of dishes this morning 🤪
Yes!! Coffee drinks video please.
Yes !! Iced coffee video!!!
Love your videos. 😍 You looked so pretty in the beginning. You had a fresh healthy look.
I missed these kind of videos!
Built in covers for the outdoor furniture?!?! OMG I’m in love!
Thank you for all the motivation. You're amazing! I would love to see a coffee drink video!
What a coincidence, we just had a Greek buffet night with chicken, pita, pita chips, basmati rice, tazikis sauce, hummus, kalamata olives, olive tapenade, sliced red onions, feta crumbles, cucumbers, tomatoes, lettuce and Greek salad dressing. It was a hit!
I enjoyed this video so much! So motivational! Delicious meals! And your outdoor setting looks amazing - what a beautiful view!
Would love a coffee drinks video!
A video on coffee drinks? I'll be here!!
Who needs a beach when I've got a Jen video to watch? 🤣
Agree Hannah.
Love the breakfast pizza. All dishes yum. I like Arm and hammer. Lavender is my favorite.
Coffee/drinks video..... yes please
It is always a pleasure to spend some time with you Jen! Always such an inspiration!☺☺☺☺☺☺
Perfect timing, I was looking for something to watch as I relax.
I have been wishing or hoping you'd do a coffee at home video. I love seeing you make all your coffee drinks and thought grabbing all the clips and put them in one video would be 👍 Love your coffee bar and hoping to have my own one day.
That’s an awesome idea Jen to do a video on coffee drinks without using a machine! And may I say your smile is contagious 😊
So happy you posted a video! Missed you but I know your very busy. I remember having a family and working full time. It gets very busy. Can't imagine adding You Tube into it. You are missed though.
Love the way your deck looks with the new furniture! It's been almost to hot to be outside though! Lol. Isntbyhat always the way?

Do you have more meal ideas for small amounts? I don't mind eating leftovers once or twice.
Happy to see a video. Hope you are well! No such thing as work/life balance!
I second Verity! Absolutely loved it and highly recommend!
Awesome video Jen!!! Love all the content!🥰🙏😊
Thanks Jen for another entertaining & motivating video. I actually "lol" when I saw your P.O. box number as it is the same as mine! I do hope your family pitches in with the housework as well but glad to hear you allow yourself a weekly cleaning service too. I finally gave in and had someone come in every 2 weeks for awhile.
Just ran a bubble bath and was looking for what to watch to just relax. Perfect timing!
Idk how working moms do all the things lol. I don’t have (and don’t want) kids and already feel so overwhelmed with life 😂 kudos to all of you 👏🏼
Jen and family have a great week thanks from Oklahoma
Yay! Jen posted! Made my day!
You gotta go on a trip to the Bourbon Trail in Kentucky! It’s so much fun for a couples trip!
Hey...good to see you again, Jen. Sammy sure is adorable🤗 Thanx for all the cooking. Love to get inspiration from your meals
Yes!! Coffee drinks video
Perfect way to end a long jammed packed day!
Can't beat Tide.....thanks for the video, Jen
Great video. So good to see you again!
I always look forward to your videos!! You give me so much motivation!! Loved your new outdoor patio furniture ❤ I hate to ask this but would you consider doing a day in life vlog? Miss those. Hope you had a great weekend !!
Yes! I’ll do one this week 😊
@@Jen-Chapin yay!! Thanks and Happy Fathers Day to your hubby ❤
Thanks for making this video! These set ups are my fav! 🌷🌷🌷
Fun Haul! you successfully influenced me this video lol I added the pyrex dish to my cart and bought the book 😊I've almost finished "My Policeman" so was ready for a new read.
Loved this vid and good to have you back! 😊
Thanks for the great video, Jen! Missed you! Love the patio set💖too!
Your deck looks great.
Seeing the notification that you posted a video totally made my day! 🙂
So wonderful to have a new video!!! Have you explained why you are making Murphys food? I probably just missed it. PS take care of you!
So happy when I seen your video pop up, I love your videos, you give me so much inspiration
Looking fabulous in the intro!
Great video especially the food. See next time. Be safe.
Hello Jen … I just viewed your video and it’s so motivating ..

The Clio bars are great frozen!
Jen, where did you get your meat chopper from? I've got a different brand, and I'm finding that meat is constantly getting stuck in it due to the design and yours looks like it might be easier to work with. Thanks!
Patio set looks comfortable 😍
Deck looks great Jen!!!!
Aw...that looks like my dog...same teeth too 😬. I love the deck and appreciate you showing the kitchen mess. Thank you for that! Makes me feel better.
I wanna be like Ina when I grow up. Cooking and eating fabulous food at my fabulous beach house for my fabulous friends.
Happy to see you!
The ina garten style is actually super popular with the tiktok kids lol it’s called coastal grandmother but I’m all for the breezy summer style. I feel too old for most “trendy” things but this one, I’m on board!!
Jen I was happy to see the pyrex baking dish I didn't know that even was a thing. Thanks for great videos
Great video. I always used Gain soap and dryer sheets. Recently changed to laundry soap SHEETS. Love them. Simple to store and to use.
Me too. Love my Tru Earth unscented sheets. They clean so well and no plastic containers. The cardboard envelope can be recycled.
Hi Jen, I’ve just received a notice from Amazon for a recall on Built Bars. I’m a little worried because I purchased the mixed box a couple weeks ago. Hopefully it’s just a precaution and nothing serious.
Hiii Jen!!
I'm so here for all the content in this video!
And no joke we order something from Walmart literally everyday 😬

Totally bought the pan also
Hi Jen. Can you please tell me where you got that cute cup/lid holder on your coffee bar? Thanks!

Hey Stacy.
@@MrsAlmaTrumble hey, Mrs. Alma! How are you?
@@stacyrussell460 I'm doing better now that the sun went down. It was another very hot day here in Southwest Tennessee.
@@MrsAlmaTrumble here in NJ isn't much better. So muggy. I honestly think it gets worse every year or I'm just getting old 😂. Probably both.

My husband also likes whiskey and bourbon. Has Adam found or tried Jefferson’s Ocean? My husband really enjoys it.
Hey Jen, as usual great video💥! I would be on board for a coffee content video.💚 ☕️💚
I LOVE your hoodie, where did you get it?! It's so cute!!!
I feel like laundry detergent for me personally is all about association. About 15 years ago while in High School I worked at Burger King. At the time my mom used gain for her laundry so to me gain smells like Burger King and I refuse to use it! 😂
I’m dying that you referred to her as P-Dubs. 🤣🤣🤣 You are hilarious! Love ya girl!
I can't use Tide, Gain, or Purex. I'm allergic to all of those. I love All free and clear for detergent and Downy for softener.
I wish Costco carried the large size Persil laundry detergent. It smells SOOOO GOOD, but I end up having to get it at the regular store.

Do Sammy and Murphy get along? They are both so cute!
Put Connor in charge of making Murphy’s food for a few bucks and we can have more videos. Lol
