You two have an amazing outlook on life! You ever look into youth ministry? Your upbeat personalities are contagious! So are your laughs! Glad you are okay!
Oh Jen & Zach ... you two make me laugh so hard!!!! Between Zach doing a face plant in driveway with Halloween mask on to Jen using the stairs as a downhill slip-n-slide, to Zach at the electric fence ... Oh my goodness ... I can't stop laughing! You both bring a smile to my heart! Love to Jen, Zach, Wyatt & RaeRae ... and all your critters too!
I didn't really scare my kids at Halloween but when they turn 10 and started collecting an allowance it was my time to shine. I made them save $50 before they could spend any of it. And before they get buy something they wanted they had to buy something they need it first. So I would have them pick out something they needed and then they could go pick something that they wanted. When we would get to the checkout line I would start whining and begging for them to buy me candy like they used to do to me. My kids hated it they were so embarrassed they begged their dad to take them to the store because every time we took them to the store for them to buy stuff with their money I would do this. So finally they talk their Dad into taking them. And this is the best part soon as they walked in the store he started begging for stuff and begged for stuff throughout the entire store and at the checkout and the kids decided they would rather I take them cuz I just begged it to check out.
I love watching you guys. You all laugh off of each other and that is what makes other people laugh with you. Christmas tree is beautiful. My sides are hurting from laughing so hard. Thank you so much for all of the giggles!
You two are so lucky you found each other in this crazy world 🌎 you guys are made for each other. When your pain can make the other one laugh. And it doesn’t make you 😡 your perfect for each other. Your so lucky.
I'm sitting here with earbuds.. hubby is watching pawn stars.. I'm laughing out loud!! He looks at me and finally asks me what's going on.. I told him I'm listening to a funny story.. but that was an understatement!! Hillarious!!
You guys aren't right in the head, you know that...right?1? LOL THANK YOU, I needed that laugh, when you told about falling and faceplanting when you came out of the tree just cracked me up. It's been a hard couple of days around here, so I really did need to see your smiling faces and hearing your funny stories. You're a blessing more than you know. {{{hugs}}} from north Texas!
Hi you guys, we are from Central Florida and retired couple originally from Connecticut. We are not at the age where we can have the same lifestyle as you do but wish that we could. I am 80, my hubby is 85 and our dog is 7 and we all love, love animals. We wish you and your beautiful family God's blessings each and every day. Keep those beautiful smiles going and be happy....
Renee, my husband is 81 with bladders cancer, I am 77. Two years ago I wanted chicken. With the help of UA-cam I learned how to build a chicken house and run. It turned out great. I sense built a hospital coop and run. Then I had you girl that the others tried to kill. After trying to reintegrate her back into the flock, I gave up and built her her own coop and run. She was able to free range, with supervision with the other four girls. But she had her own palace. Since then my husband and I build all the furniture for our Dodge ProMaster 2500 cargo van. As of yet we have only taken it out for a test run, over night. Don’t give up on your dreams. I addition to learning to use tools last year. Took up machine quilting. Go for it, life is to short.
Oh Lord, i should of waited to hear the second story before i hit the button. So 😂 so funny! But glad you didn’t hurt yourself bad falling down the stairs. Your house is so pretty, so happy for you guys.
You lovely people bring such laughter and joy to my life. I'm always happy when you guys upload a new vlog or do a live. Thanks so much for just being you!
You guy's bring so much joy to my days, please don't ever change, and please please please dont ever get caught up in the drama that is affecting some of the other homesteading channels right now. Love ya'll bunches!
My mom used to put a large garbage bag around the bottom of the tree, and when she tired of the tree, she slipped it up over the tree. Then when she wanted it back again dropped the bag. You never knew when the tree would be " out". Neat memories, thank you.
I know this is an older video but y'all... Omgoodness! I love your attitude towards everything!! I laughed so hard... My stomach hurts!!! I love you two!!! Oh and I also just watched "I want a FLUSHING toilet!! one also...! These last two videos have taken my breath away!! Y'all are amazingly awesomely BEAUTIFUL in your entire outlook!!

THYMES 'Frasier Fir' is amazing, they make oils, soaps, candles, and No Flame Wax Melts, but also, Frasier Fir Dish soap, Room Spray, and Hand Creme and lotions and Clothing Drawer Inserts .. I love THYMES home fragrance line. Bitter Orange & Cedar is my favorite...
We are a Navy family and in our 60 years of marriage have moved many time. We always find extreme joy in each move. There is the joy of looking forward to a new dream. And making a change keeps life interesting. Each new dream starts a new adventure. Enjoy the ride. Life is to short do Wait to work towards you goals.
When I was about 4 or 5 (many, many moons ago) we had a silver tree. I thought it was so beautiful the way it reflected the lights. A couple days before Christmas, there was a short in a string of lights and the tree caught on fire. I remember my dad unplugging the lights and telling my oldest brother to "Go get the hose!" and my mom hauling in pots of water to throw on the tree, I remember my dad spraying down the tree until the fire was out. My poor silver tree was no longer beautiful. I was crying and my mom put her arm around me and said, "It's okay, we'll get another tree for Santa to put the presents under." Back then, my parents didn't put any presents under the tree until after all us kids went to sleep Christmas Eve night...'tinsel' trees were not allowed after that..
For the fruit flies, put a cup of vinegar in a cup. Then add some cling wrap to the top. Add some holes to the top where the fruit flies can go to the vinegar , where they drown in the vinegar. This really works.
At age 18 I left home, Everett Washington, to goin the Navy. About 15 years later we we transferred to base in Washington and had a chance to meet up with a field long school friend. Wanting to make a good impression I was dress up looking my best. My friend Louise had a new home on some farm land and did not have her landscaping completed. She had some lumber stretched across a muddy yard so as not to have to walk in the mud. I took about four steps and slipped and fell straight into the mud. Louse just laughed and said you haven’t changed a bit. That was 49 years ago . I am still the same.
love love love you guys. please don't stop making videos, love your stories. really hope you heal quickly Jen. lol hopefully Zac learned a lesson with the fence. Stay safe on the stairs.
I remember as a child my father purchased a decorated tree. At the time a song that was popular was Buttons and Bowes . My mom was delighted. One of my great memories of Christmas. As we were poor Christmas could have been a sad time but my parents always made it a great time for us.
I'm watching the live at 9:30 p.m., and I'm crying, laughing, tears running. Down the stairs, crying, dying laughing. Then, the electric fence.. "How ya doing babe? Y'all right?" Omg. I'm dying you guys... then the 5 star spicy little Chinese dinner. You're killin me! Thank you!! I haven't laughed enough all year! I need more, lol
I came across your video about the ten goats and decided to subscribe. Enjoying your channel. Thanks. All the way from South Africa. Keep well. Sweet little ones.
I decorate for Halloween decorations outside for the middle of September. But also add some of the Christmas faux trees added into the decorations. Adding skeletons , ghosts, spiders, & bats to the faux trees n webbing too. Then added a plastic pumpkin head to the top of the tree. Added a old jacket to the top half of the tree. Then added net lighting to the bottom. Then added witch figuring, reaper figurine, ghosts, ghost fairy, etc. It all filled the hole yard. After Halloween , I take the Halloween decorations down & put away. Then I start putting up Christmas decorations outside, for the whole yard. Also decorate inside for Christmas too.
You two are just so funny! Ya'll remind me of my husband and I when we were ya'lls age. Ya'll such a breath of fresh air keep up the great videos and God bless.
Turn down heat at night by 6- 8 degrees and turn up when you get up. Saves LOTS of money and so much more comfortable. This also works in the summer even better.
I grew up in a stone house and i froze my ass off during winter. It was set 18-20 C so about 65-70 F and it never helt warm. Now moved fro east europe to Sweden living in an 150 year old wood house with just wood and tretex as isolation with floor heating set to 16 C/ 60 Funless its a blizzard and its warm, we more or less have a nudist colony because its so nice and toasty. You guys got a magic house that needs little heating and that is great, nice on the budget.

Your story falling down the stairs is so funny and your faces are just so beat red I'm laughing with you but at the same time remembering when my mother fell down the stairs and ended up in the hospital boy are you lucky
Our tree only has lites on it ,and for years we didn't have a tree,so last Christmas we put one up,well long story short our tree is still up,I like the lites at nite so relaxing
I use a sifting litter box (I actually got 2 of the same cheap litter boxes and drilled holes in the one) , but instead of cat litter I get a 50 pound bag of wood pellet horse stall stuff for $5. Scoop poop once a day and sift once a day. (When the pellets get wet they absorb the moisture and smell and return to saw dust.) Then once a week I empty the bottom tray into my compost.
On my, I am laughing so hard I'm crying listening to the story of Jen and the stairs. I'm thankful you didn't break anything and that you can laugh about it. Thank you for sharing your smiles, trials, and your life with us!
Hey y'all I know what you mean about modern technology. We moved into a home and we didn't know what to put our heat or air on.this was the first time we a thermostat on the wall. We used a kerosene heater for years. I love your home . Good job!!!
For your heater, if you like it cold at night, I have mine set to no higher than 64° and I have a gas heater. I don’t like it hot. During the day mine doesn’t get higher than 70°. And also remember, heat rises so the upstairs will be hotter than downstairs. Enjoy learning your new home. 😊
This is my first time watching the both of you and I was crying you both had me laughing so hard I really enjoyed it. I will definitely definitely keep coming back keep smiling keep the sense of humor it really brightens up these crazy crazy Covid days thank you
I have a couple of people I know that keep their Xmas tree up all year. 1 is an older lady (she just does not have the energy to take all the decorations off and take it down), the other one (takes the Xmas decorations off and decorates the tree for every holiday in an appropriate theme for that holiday).
we had very steep steps going upstairs as a kid. for christmas when we were about 7, 8, & 9 years old we got those plastic saucers. Yes, we did it! Down the stair, whoosh! Across the 24 ft livingroom. The boys only went about half to 3/4's of the way across the livingroom. Well, then it was my turn. I was the smallest & lightest. I took and pushed off. It happened so fast. I was down the stairs and flying across the livingroom. On the far side was the Christmas tree in the bump out on that side of the livingroom. There were 3 picture windows behind the Christmas tree, the center one flat and the 2 side ones were at a slight angle, to form the 10 ft wide by 6 ft deep bump out. Well, it was a good thing the tree was there. It abruptly stopped my saucer and propelled me up and forward into the tree. But if it hadn't been there, I would have gone head first thru that center picture window. The boys were rolling on the floor laughing & crying bcuz of my flight thru the air. It scared the crap out of me at that instant. And the old, dry needles hurt like crazy in my face and arms. But later I couldn't stop laughing rethinking what happened. But I also realized that it was too dangerous to do that again. Years later, I had moved into a new to us house the evening before. You walk from the kitchen on a narrow landing above the basement stairs, to get to the bathroom. Well, I missed the landing by the fridge in the kitchen. I went down the stairs with my left leg in front of me, my main body, followed by my right leg pointing back up the stairs. My ex (husband at the time) came to the landing after hearing the thump, thump, thump, and asked me what I was doing? I said I was checking to see if I could ski down the stairs. I only broke & shoved my big toe bone back towards my foot bone. The kids insisted that they push me around in the diningroom tables chair. Later I laughed my butt off.
We set our heat to 65 during the day and about 50 at night, from about 1 hour before we go to bed. On the other side our air is set at 82 in summer. We moved from England last year and air isn’t needed over there and. I hate the way it dries the air. Our house was built in 1850’s so only had a coal fire that we changed to a log burning stove.
The kids have those directions down pat. They are growing up so fast. Just like my own youngest set of grandkids are. Hope you all are enjoying your new home/bedrooms. Can't wait to see how you decorate them. Kids make the house a home, and put joy in our lives. Bye Wyatt & Rhea Rhea.
Hay Guys---I actively look for your vlog every day---you are plain and honest and just every day people--funny and entertaining and relatable---all the best---keep on doing you and doing your way--
Best way to use some apple cider vinager with mother and dish soap in a dish by the sink or the fruit it will take care of fruit flies & on aunts Cinnamon
I have sat here enjoying your laughter. This is a great vlog. Splinter stairs! Not something to do often. You are great with the laughter and fun. PORT PERRY ONTARIO CANADA
I have a friend who last count had 27 trees in her house! But I don’t put Christmas up till after Remembrance Day! ( that’s me) But being Military, that’s what I do in Canada. But it’s not a given. Everyone is different. Enjoy, you deserve it, your worked hard for it
The kids couldnt go cause of horrible weather. We got them to trick or treat each room of the house. It was fun. The ferretts got in the bags and trick or treated to.
Hello there are those beautiful smiles just love the Christmas tree and Mantel looks so Christmasy with the red and white stockings it is just like a Christmas card and he really looks like home. 🇦🇺❤️🇦🇺❤️🇦🇺👍👍👍🎄🎄🎄🥰🥰
Just found your channel a few days ago. I will most definitely be catching you as often as you post! Y'alls laughter is so very welcomed! It is infectious! Im just an old lady living alone on a hobbie farm in SouthEast Alaska and you both help keep my spirits up. It's a pleasure to follow your family and critters! Thank you for sharing your lives!
Love the tree being up! A lot of people were talking about doing the same too! We just all feel it and need it! I do love the red plaid ribbon on the tree. Saw some black plaid at Hobby Lobby today! Maybe leave the tree up year round and decorate for different seasons and holidays!! Love watching you guys!
I'm with you about clowns! We had a local TV show with a famous clown when I was a kid and I begged my mom to take me to see him at the mall one day. When the clown came on stage I ran out screaming and hid behind the car and wouldn't come out! Mom was 'not' happy!😂 Glad you are ok Jen!
It is a two story house, heat rises and the thermostat is downstairs. Turn the temp to about 60. What kind of furnace? Electric, natural gas or propane? If it is propane you will have quite a bit of condensation on the inside of the windows (get a dehumidifier to get rid of the moisture.
I had the same stair incident and laughed the whole way down too. My teenage son was the one to see it and looked totally horrified and asked me "why in the world are you laughing?" So I fully understand you laughing. I had a huge bruise on my butt too and it turned into a calcium build up that was there for at least 10 years and felt like pinching when I sat. That part wasn't so funny. All the way down though, all I could think of was how funny it probably looked, especially if I was watching it.
I started having a show tree that I decorated to look like I wanted and put up a smaller tree in the front room that I put our family ornaments on. It's fun stuff.. but I still have our old ornaments to see.
Stairs incident is so funny it reminds me of the time that I what up my parents steps and I was on crutches I got to the top step and the a crutch went out from under me and I somersault it down the stairs backwards and when I landed at the bottom I sat there laughing my sister asked are you okay I would tell her and I said and I said I broke it and that's the only thing that happened to me I had bruises but nothing serious seriously the only thing with a broken nail I was so lucky anyway that's my falling down the stairs story I love watching your videos always cheers me up God bless you
Been there done the very same thing. I had just got home from hospital with a newborn who might have been a month old. Except i broke my tailbone and there is nothing that can be done for it. It hurt to sit for over 2 years. I carried a pillow everywhere i went to sit on.
Hi Stivers family hope you all are doing good today.God bless you and your family today and always. I laughed along with you so glad Jen didn’t get hurt bad .God bless you all.
You two have an amazing outlook on life!
You ever look into youth ministry?
Your upbeat personalities are contagious!
So are your laughs!
Glad you are okay!
Oh Jen & Zach ... you two make me laugh so hard!!!! Between Zach doing a face plant in driveway with Halloween mask on to Jen using the stairs as a downhill slip-n-slide, to Zach at the electric fence ... Oh my goodness ... I can't stop laughing! You both bring a smile to my heart! Love to Jen, Zach, Wyatt & RaeRae ... and all your critters too!
God Bless you all and Merry Christmas!
It’s so nice to see how much you guys enjoy your company ,steady giggling and having fun !!

Never a dull moment with you guys, you crack me up !
I use a sifting litter box (I actually got 2 of the same cheap litter boxes and drilled holes in the one) , but instead of cat litter I get a 50 pound bag of wood pellet horse stall stuff for $5. Scoop poop once a day and sift once a day. (When the pellets get wet they absorb the moisture and smell and return to saw dust.) Then once a week I empty the bottom tray into my compost.
You are good at telling stories, you got me laughing too. I'm from New. Brunswick , the easter part of Canada, beautiful place. Keep up the good work.
On my, I am laughing so hard I'm crying listening to the story of Jen and the stairs. I'm thankful you didn't break anything and that you can laugh about it. Thank you for sharing your smiles, trials, and your life with us!
Hey y'all I know what you mean about modern technology. We moved into a home and we didn't know what to put our heat or air on.this was the first time we a thermostat on the wall. We used a kerosene heater for years. I love your home . Good job!!!
Oh my goodness! Y'all had me rollin! I am glad you are ok. I have fallen down the stairs at 2 different houses.
For your heater, if you like it cold at night, I have mine set to no higher than 64° and I have a gas heater. I don’t like it hot. During the day mine doesn’t get higher than 70°. And also remember, heat rises so the upstairs will be hotter than downstairs. Enjoy learning your new home. 😊
We really enjoy your channel. God bless your home!
Love to see how happy you both are! Love ya
This is my first time watching the both of you and I was crying you both had me laughing so hard I really enjoyed it. I will definitely definitely keep coming back keep smiling keep the sense of humor it really brightens up these crazy crazy Covid days thank you
Here in Costa Rica the trees and decorations are up at the end of October. They also put Christmas trees on their porch. Enjoy your Christmas.
I have a couple of people I know that keep their Xmas tree up all year. 1 is an older lady (she just does not have the energy to take all the decorations off and take it down), the other one (takes the Xmas decorations off and decorates the tree for every holiday in an appropriate theme for that holiday).
Y’all crack me up!!! LOVE watching!!!
Love love the laughter thank you
we had very steep steps going upstairs as a kid. for christmas when we were about 7, 8, & 9 years old we got those plastic saucers. Yes, we did it! Down the stair, whoosh! Across the 24 ft livingroom. The boys only went about half to 3/4's of the way across the livingroom. Well, then it was my turn. I was the smallest & lightest. I took and pushed off. It happened so fast. I was down the stairs and flying across the livingroom. On the far side was the Christmas tree in the bump out on that side of the livingroom. There were 3 picture windows behind the Christmas tree, the center one flat and the 2 side ones were at a slight angle, to form the 10 ft wide by 6 ft deep bump out. Well, it was a good thing the tree was there. It abruptly stopped my saucer and propelled me up and forward into the tree. But if it hadn't been there, I would have gone head first thru that center picture window. The boys were rolling on the floor laughing & crying bcuz of my flight thru the air. It scared the crap out of me at that instant. And the old, dry needles hurt like crazy in my face and arms. But later I couldn't stop laughing rethinking what happened. But I also realized that it was too dangerous to do that again.
Years later, I had moved into a new to us house the evening before. You walk from the kitchen on a narrow landing above the basement stairs, to get to the bathroom.
Well, I missed the landing by the fridge in the kitchen. I went down the stairs with my left leg in front of me, my main body, followed by my right leg pointing back up the stairs. My ex (husband at the time) came to the landing after hearing the thump, thump, thump, and asked me what I was doing? I said I was checking to see if I could ski down the stairs. I only broke & shoved my big toe bone back towards my foot bone. The kids insisted that they push me around in the diningroom tables chair. Later I laughed my butt off.
You guys are such an inspiration, thank you!
We set our heat to 65 during the day and about 50 at night, from about 1 hour before we go to bed. On the other side our air is set at 82 in summer. We moved from England last year and air isn’t needed over there and. I hate the way it dries the air. Our house was built in 1850’s so only had a coal fire that we changed to a log burning stove.
Glad you are getting settled. Beautiful place.
The kids have those directions down pat. They are growing up so fast. Just like my own youngest set of grandkids are. Hope you all are enjoying your new home/bedrooms. Can't wait to see how you decorate them. Kids make the house a home, and put joy in our lives. Bye Wyatt & Rhea Rhea.
Hay Guys---I actively look for your vlog every day---you are plain and honest and just every day people--funny and entertaining and relatable---all the best---keep on doing you and doing your way--

Hi from Scotland love your smiles
I have sat here enjoying your laughter. This is a great vlog. Splinter stairs! Not something to do often. You are great with the laughter and fun. PORT PERRY ONTARIO CANADA
I have a friend who last count had 27 trees in her house! But I don’t put Christmas up till after Remembrance Day! ( that’s me) But being Military, that’s what I do in Canada. But it’s not a given. Everyone is different. Enjoy, you deserve it, your worked hard for it
I love watching you all have so much fun and laughing. Bless you
New subscriber. Ive been enjoying your vlogs.
Thanks for keeping it real!
As homesteaders going in and out of the house, we have found that 65 degrees during the day, and 60 degrees at night works really well.
You are an absolutely lovely couple! Much love and may God bless you! ♥
We love you.... thank you for the laughs
The kids couldnt go cause of horrible weather. We got them to trick or treat each room of the house. It was fun. The ferretts got in the bags and trick or treated to.
It is soooo good to see you both smile and laugh so much!
Hello there are those beautiful smiles just love the Christmas tree and Mantel looks so Christmasy with the red and white stockings it is just like a Christmas card and he really looks like home. 🇦🇺❤️🇦🇺❤️🇦🇺👍👍👍🎄🎄🎄🥰🥰
Wet food turns cats even more moody lol Our cats love it and get so grumpy if we run out as well.
I fell in my kitchen this afternoon and I am sore...it is funny to watch you two so happy but it hurts to laugh! God bless you!
Just found your channel a few days ago. I will most definitely be catching you as often as you post! Y'alls laughter is so very welcomed! It is infectious! Im just an old lady living alone on a hobbie farm in SouthEast Alaska and you both help keep my spirits up. It's a pleasure to follow your family and critters! Thank you for sharing your lives!
Sarah, you are going to love them! Go watch their old videos.
@@maryjanecreate I certainly will! Thx
I started a tea garden and it's coming up 😊😊 I'm super excited..
Love the tree being up! A lot of people were talking about doing the same too! We just all feel it and need it! I do love the red plaid ribbon on the tree. Saw some black plaid at Hobby Lobby today! Maybe leave the tree up year round and decorate for different seasons and holidays!! Love watching you guys!
Such a happy family!
I'm with you about clowns! We had a local TV show with a famous clown when I was a kid and I begged my mom to take me to see him at the mall one day. When the clown came on stage I ran out screaming and hid behind the car and wouldn't come out! Mom was 'not' happy!😂 Glad you are ok Jen!
Laughing so hard the tears are rolling..... sorry for your spill but thank you for the entertainment
It is a two story house, heat rises and the thermostat is downstairs. Turn the temp to about 60. What kind of furnace? Electric, natural gas or propane? If it is propane you will have quite a bit of condensation on the inside of the windows (get a dehumidifier to get rid of the moisture.
I had the same stair incident and laughed the whole way down too. My teenage son was the one to see it and looked totally horrified and asked me "why in the world are you laughing?" So I fully understand you laughing. I had a huge bruise on my butt too and it turned into a calcium build up that was there for at least 10 years and felt like pinching when I sat. That part wasn't so funny. All the way down though, all I could think of was how funny it probably looked, especially if I was watching it.
You guys make me laugh so hard.
The Vents should have a shut off knob on it. I close my Vent in my bedroom try 65 degrees .
I really enjoy watching u all
I totally agree with you celebrating Christmas early to enjoy Christmas longer and take it all down the next day
But the pine needles smell sooooo good when you vacuum them up.. love that smell
I started having a show tree that I decorated to look like I wanted and put up a smaller tree in the front room that I put our family ornaments on. It's fun stuff.. but I still have our old ornaments to see.
I am the reason my oldest daughter is terrified of baby dolls with eyes that open an close!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣
I have to cover the heat vents in our bedroom, I hate it being warm when I'm trying to sleep!
You two are crazy funny! Had me laughing so much.
Stairs incident is so funny it reminds me of the time that I what up my parents steps and I was on crutches I got to the top step and the a crutch went out from under me and I somersault it down the stairs backwards and when I landed at the bottom I sat there laughing my sister asked are you okay I would tell her and I said and I said I broke it and that's the only thing that happened to me I had bruises but nothing serious seriously the only thing with a broken nail I was so lucky anyway that's my falling down the stairs story I love watching your videos always cheers me up God bless you
You can find those peel and stick step treads at either home improvement centers.
Been there done the very same thing. I had just got home from hospital with a newborn who might have been a month old. Except i broke my tailbone and there is nothing that can be done for it. It hurt to sit for over 2 years. I carried a pillow everywhere i went to sit on.
Thank God you are okay. It's good to turn things around and have a good laugh but please be careful
“Pull a mommy “ sounds like a new paper folding art. 🤣
Hi Stivers family hope you all are doing good today.God bless you and your family today and always. I laughed along with you so glad Jen didn’t get hurt bad .God bless you all.
Y’all were amazing tonight, Im really happy for y’all, god bless
