As a Rite of Passage, I feel like EVERYONE needs to work in retail, waitressing, or something serving the public. It’s humbling and you gain an understanding and appreciation for those professions. As a teacher, I can’t fathom how bus drivers (my mom!) deal with middle schoolers!
Daytime pajamas into nighttime pajamas - I feel you! As soon as I know I'm not going anywhere else that day, I change into pajamas/lounge clothes! Ditch the bra and any tight clothes, comfort is paramount!
I lived in rural France for 12 years where there were fields full of sunflowers 🌻 and interestingly, they all turn their pretty faces to the rising sun each morning 🥰
You are a real and real inspiration 💖 It is ok to not be on top of everything. On the other hand, I think you have soooooo much more stuff put together than you give yourself credit for.
Those shallow bins with lids are awesome. We use those for keeping some camping items dry during camping trips. They held up during a serious rain storm so they get a thumbs up from me.
Thanks for sharing your weekend with us Jen! The art you picked out us Gorgeous!! 😍 Really like your style! That dinner 🍽️ with the potatoes and broccoli looked DE-LI-CIOUS!😋😋 Cute nails 💅
Enjoyed your rant and totally agree. Please be nice to people not that hard. My husband wears all of his clothes until they're falling apart too. The artwork looked great. The contigo cups are no joke they are really sturdy.
I would suggest a snake plant on a stand for that corner. It doesn’t require much light and is easy to care for! You could also do a hanging plant like a pothos. Amazon has plant hanger brackets you can hang on the wall or you can put a hanger in the ceiling.
I love your bedroom paint color. I bet some white or off white linen curtains with dark wood rods would look great on your windows. thanks for sharing, take care!❤
We sleep with the fan on all year long-cleaning ceiling fans is always eye opening and I know I should do it more often. Love your new art work. Thanks for sharing this video. I am a RR fan as well- been watching her from the beginning.
Great video! I absolutely love when you take us along and it feels like you are having a get together with a friend. I'm also an OG Rachel Ray 30 min meals watcher. I look forward to your RR video and also organization. I need all the help I can get. I have some striped bass in the freezer that I didn't care for as fried fish but it might do well as fish cakes. We have a bunch from a fishing trip. Thanks for sharing dear friend. Have a great rest of the week!
My husband has been a firefighter for 14 years and he has all his shirts from the academy and they are a tad bit worn out but so so comfy!!! I feel like they are the best sleeping shirts. 😊
Yup, my hubby has a few of these worn out shirts. He usually reserves them for when he's working in the yard. He had more but I'm trying to slowly get rid of them one by one.
We have been married 29 years and dated for 5 years before. His favorite soft thread worn, stained, to large, were thrown away this year. I have yet to get him to toss out the t-shirts. Don’t even get me started on flannels and sweatshirts!!! Gotta love them.
My husband would never get new clothes if I didn’t make him or buy them for him. We are doing family pictures this weekend and he needed some new jeans that fit him properly so we went to old navy when they were having their sale on jeans last weekend. We found two pairs that looked good on him and he was fighting me on getting both even though we didn’t need both for pictures. The second pair cost $8. Brand new $40 jeans for $8. Can’t beat a good deal like that!
My son is like that. He will not go buy new clothes. A couple of years ago my daughter and I were buying him clothes for Christmas and we said we were his fashion consultants. I told him the other day a small men's clothing store near us had some decent sweats and casual long sleeve shirts on clearance. He said he will check it out but I'm doubtful. Unless I force him to go with me or just buy the clothes for him he will not go clothes shopping. His 28th birthday is in about a month and my daughter and I have already planned on getting him new clothes for his birthday and Christmas.
The blue spray will leach after sweat hits it. You could try locking it in with a humidity shield spray? I know that sounds mild but it will stain his skin and clothes and it burns when it hits your eyes.
Hey Jen! I'm in my 30s and finally looking into fixing my teeth and getting Invisalign. May I ask what made you decide on traditional braces vs. newer/clear braces? I was just curious since I am doing my research and talking to my dentist about beginning the process. Thanks ❣ 😊
Thank you for sharing this video!! I know you said UA-cam is not long term but I’m enjoying every second while you’re still doing it! I look forward to every video. Im sorry if you have talked about this before, but what is the paint color in your upstairs hall? We are about to repaint and I love it!
😯 Contigo don't die in the dishwasher?? I'm throwing away my 32 other bottles and restocking with those 😂😂😂 I'm so sick of have washing water bottles 😂😂😂
My husband also keeps shirts until they literally fall apart. Holes, stained, bleached no problem! Oh and in the past 10 years he’s purchased exactly two new shirts lol
Just wanted to tell you I use the pilot V7 and V5 and I LOVE THEM!!! I have a few nurses that I work with that are self proclaimed pen snobs and they have threatens to take them from me because they love them also worth the price!
I was watching a Paula Deen video and she and her stepdaughter, Michelle, we’re making Crab Cakes and she did them in the air fryer. She said the same thing that the cakes fall apart more in the skillet. I love the pictures over the bed, very nice. I love steaks. I made a Ribeye Steak dinner for my birthday last month with Au-gratin Potatoes, salad, a nice glass of wine and Sanders Bumpy Cake. It is a Fudge Roll Cake, Sanders was a well known family run company in the Detroit area in the 1960’s . They have since gone out of business but sold the rights and recipes to other companies. You might be able to order it from Amazon, not sure. In SE Mi several local grocery stores like Meijer sells it. It’s worth it to try if you can find it. I will be getting one for the Christmas holidays.
Contigo is my favorite brand! 😍 I scour the shelves for the carabiner lid style -- it's the best! Super easy to one-hand it and it satisfies my need to fidget. No more pen clicking... 😉
Just a thought...maybe u can hang a nice little pot from the ceiling in ur room and put plant with tendrils hanging down...money plant wud require least amount of effort and will grow
Nalgene bottles is what I know. Hey, hint=better to get ladder, dust tag & Pledge for the ceiling fans. Practice to swipe as gathering all dust. Then, put in washer & done. B/C I saw lots fall to floor so You’ve made another chore to vacuum my Friend ;)
October is Crock-Tiber where you make as many recipes as you can in the IP and Crock Pot. The trick to not having dried or tough meat is when it is finished let it do an natural release for about 20 minutes.. Meats come out great when you do it like that. I love Rachel Ray and watch her show every afternoon with my coffee.
I haven’t been to Walmart recently, but somebody was complaining about the receipt thing on social media . He said he refused to show his receipt. You don’t have to show it . Only at Costco or Bj.s are you required because they are private clubs. You can politely decline to show your receipt at Walmart.
Love the vintage Sublime shirt! I would buy that on Poshmark in a second if I saw it - holes and all. I’m from Long Beach, CA and I love that it says that! Sadly I saw them perform shortly before Bradley the lead singer died and he couldn’t even get through any songs because he was drugged out of his mind. Love them though and I’m glad they are getting repped all the way out in Iowa.
I do all laundry in the house, so ALL clothes with holes leave … I replace with clothes which have no holes. When asked if I know where x article of clothing is, I can truthfully state, no idea! Now, the clothes that don’t fit which don’t get through the laundry but hang in the closet unworn, I can’t fix that!
Jen, love your content, as always. Husband - holy holey shirts. Last incident was a (sports related) sweat shirt, raveled at the neck & cuffs, holes. He “fixed” it by ripping the sleeves to make it short sleeved. Candy
I have a friend that I graduated high school with that had her daughter our senior year. Well, about two, maybe three years ago, her daughter had a baby boy. I congratulated them, and then commiserated with her that it didn’t feel like we were old enough to be grandparents.
It's me!! I'm that t shirt person. Also hoodie person. My favorite t shirts are so worn out. My hubby just keeps ALL clothes in general. I hide stuff to see if he even realizes it's missing before I get rid of it! Lol!!!!!
You looked so naturally beautiful in the car during the Starbucks drive through. If someone was thinking that about me, it would put a smile on my face if they shared that observation with me - so thought I’d let you know :)
Have you ever tried the fish cakes with crab meat or imitation crab? I don’t like fish (weird, I know) but I like crab cakes, just wondering if the recipe would work with that.
O Jenn they never get rid of them. I had to just throw Dennis’s shirts away. He never was the wiser. He ask about them maybe once or twice. I would say in a dramatic way “ I don’t know 🤷🏻♀️. The last time I seen it, you took it off in garage, maybe the dog got it.” Lol. Then he think about for a second and say “ maybe your right”. Sometimes a girl gotta do what she has to do. 😇😈. Love the abstract art. I have been looking for some new decor. Thanks for sharing
I'm so behind(taking a mental break), I have not done anything to my master either 😅😏. I'm definitely looking into that link! My husband is still saving his high school shirts 🤷♀️ like why🤦♀️🤷♀️.
“How about we just be nice to people”….Jen Chaplin. totally agree, it’s not that hard!
Jen for almost a whole hour...What a treat!!!!
Agreed

Same here!!🤗🤗
What a good video, Jen! the recipes, the artwork, the wreath -- all fabulous! 😘😘
Yay!! An almost hour long video!🎉 Gonna settle into bed and watch Jen! Can’t wait!
"I changed from my daytime pajamas into my nighttime pajamas." I feel ya 😆

Your videos are the best Jen!! Watching this for the 2nd time while I get some early afternoon stuff done!! 👏🏻

I love the design on your ring finger nail!! Great video!!
You're right. The wreath color goes beautifully with your door. Great video! Thanks for sharing.
My hubby is the KING of holding onto old clothes lol 😂
And I agree! Kindness goes a LONG way! 🤍
This old gal is a great Instapot recipe resource! I make lots of her recipes and they always turn out great😊
Love to see anything you share with us. Those pictures are cool👍

Thanks for the suggestion! I wanted/needed a plant that didn't require alot of light. ❤
I can’t stand rudeness to service workers.
I love your bedroom paint color. I bet some white or off white linen curtains with dark wood rods would look great on your windows. thanks for sharing, take care!❤
Wreath on the door, wonderful. Thanks for sharing the memories
Hiii Jen!!
Your videos make my night 🌙

Aww Murphy just chilling on the bed with the laundry ❤️❤️
Use a white colored sharpie marker on that ink spot❤️ You and Jamerrill Stewart are the hardest working moms on UA-cam❤️❤️❤️
Yes Jen, people born in 1998 are 23 years old… it’s so hard to believe my son is 23 but he is. My kids are all adults and it flew by too fast! ❤️
Just love you Jen. Trying to catch up on your vlogs,been busy with my precious first grand baby who is 10 months.🥰🥰🥰
loved everything, thanks Jen. You r awesome n brilliant!!!😘😘😘
Yup, my hubby has a few of these worn out shirts. He usually reserves them for when he's working in the yard. He had more but I'm trying to slowly get rid of them one by one.
I'm glad you reminded me about your merch! I'm fixing to order the sticker and cup!
I just spied the cup and wondered if it was merch! I had no idea she had merch, or forgot! Yes! Love the s!
That would be loved the sentiment!
Rachael Ray’s Cooking Around the Clock is the one cookbook she signed for me and I love it!
Absolutely love the design on one nail, it’s gorgeous. 👍💙
Agree!💅💖💖
And yes girl...keep mentioning your cookbook. In every video. I have it, and it rocks...love it!!!!!💗
LOVE your car rants!
Also can NOT wait for the Rachael Ray video!
We have been married 29 years and dated for 5 years before. His favorite soft thread worn, stained, to large, were thrown away this year. I have yet to get him to toss out the t-shirts. Don’t even get me started on flannels and sweatshirts!!! Gotta love them.
Menards,Lowes or Home Depot have tall plants but might have to wait until Spring now.
I am with in just being kind to people and the birthdate situation! I totally feel like the 90’s were just yesterday! ☺️
Gonna order me some built bars today!! Thanks Jen, great video!!

Omg I love the paint color in your bedroom, do you mind giving out the color and brand 🤩🤩🤩☺️
I just bought your cookbook through Amazon Canada. I can hardly wait to get it. Thanks for your work in getting it published for our benefit. :)
Thank you for sharing this video!! I know you said UA-cam is not long term but I’m enjoying every second while you’re still doing it! I look forward to every video. Im sorry if you have talked about this before, but what is the paint color in your upstairs hall? We are about to repaint and I love it!
I’m a big RR fan too, worked my way through almost the entire 30 minute meals 2 cookbook from 2003 :)
😯 Contigo don't die in the dishwasher?? I'm throwing away my 32 other bottles and restocking with those 😂😂😂 I'm so sick of have washing water bottles 😂😂😂
Right?!
Exactly!
My husband also keeps shirts until they literally fall apart. Holes, stained, bleached no problem! Oh and in the past 10 years he’s purchased exactly two new shirts lol
BTW- your nails look great! Leave the ring finger as is. It’s just enough and lovely
You are looking great as always! I was happy to see your video tonight 😉 thanks
Do you know the color and brand of your front door? I’ve been tryin to decide what color to paint my doors and shutters. I love yours!
I don’t remember the exact color but it’s Sherwin Williams! I do remember that
@@Jen-Chapin Thank you!
My husband still has t-shirts from when he was in high school. He's 41.
Yes to the tall plant … if the window next to it gets enough sun you can do a real one otherwise do a fake one! And yes to the curtains!
Love all you share.. a break in my 13-hour workday.
I made fish cakes with salmon this week, and it was delicious!
YUM! 😋
Just wanted to tell you I use the pilot V7 and V5 and I LOVE THEM!!! I have a few nurses that I work with that are self proclaimed pen snobs and they have threatens to take them from me because they love them also worth the price!
Jen, you are amazing. I love your videos!!
My friends just brought me some of that exact coffee home after their trip to CO....it is De-lish !!
I think my kids would really like the fish cakes. But I have one kid with an egg allergy. What would be a good substitution for the mayo?
I absolutely loved this video, but I always do.❤❤❤

That ABSOLUTELY looked like a chamber pot
You used the herb stripper I sent! YAY! ❤️
Sea breeze (witch hazel) works so great for sunburn- I don’t peel when I use it and it immediately takes the sting away
Jen, please go for a live plant. Fake plants always draws dust. A live plant looks so much better to. Have a great week. Always Yvonne

The chamber pot comment had me laughing out loud! You caught me by surprise! Good one!
I have a friend that I graduated high school with that had her daughter our senior year. Well, about two, maybe three years ago, her daughter had a baby boy. I congratulated them, and then commiserated with her that it didn’t feel like we were old enough to be grandparents.
Yeeessss !!!
My husband has a tshirt that at this point is just one big hole …. He refuses to throw it out
It's me!! I'm that t shirt person. Also hoodie person. My favorite t shirts are so worn out. My hubby just keeps ALL clothes in general. I hide stuff to see if he even realizes it's missing before I get rid of it! Lol!!!!!
Lol, your nightstands look super happy with the floppy (??) handles looking like smiling faces!
Love your pictures on the walls.
You looked so naturally beautiful in the car during the Starbucks drive through. If someone was thinking that about me, it would put a smile on my face if they shared that observation with me - so thought I’d let you know :)
Yup! My husband is on "Team Torn Shirt!"
Good video, Jennifer. The wreath looks great on your door.

Omg..so hilarious 😂
If it’s got a hole, I rip it beyond repair. Even better if he’s still wearing it! 😉
Your nail looks great and spontaneous enjoy it!
I was about to comment how I loved those pants. Even before you said they were pajamas.
You just made my night a lot brighter.
The late 90s WAS yesterday 🤣🤣🤣
You tell them rude people Jen 😂 your amazing and awesome love what you do keep kicking ass
Cookbook Challenge!! How many do You have? Any from Grandmother? From Mother? Friends? How many do You have??
are you still using cerave ?
Yes I use their retinol
@@Jen-Chapin I just started it because your skin looks so good 😊
What you did looks good
Great video. Did you receive the cookbook I sent? The Living Table?
Love the longer vlog!!!
Aldi's had real banana tree plants that looked good.
I'm so behind(taking a mental break), I have not done anything to my master either 😅😏.
I'm definitely looking into that link!
My husband is still saving his high school shirts 🤷♀️ like why🤦♀️🤷♀️.
