Jamerrill, long time watcher and this feels like the perfect video to share your impact on my life. At the beginning of Covid I was at home and hadn’t had contact with someone other than my husband for almost a month (which was awful for this extrovert) you have a video where you prayed. Where we all took a moment in prayer for the unknown and the chaos happening around us. I remember cooking a pot of beans and taking a moment with you to pray. I wept in my kitchen. I’m not a Christian but it was just such a spiritually connected moment and I have just continued to feel that anytime I get to watch or interact with your videos. You’re a gift. Thank you for sharing your life with us.
Oh my goodness! I remember that exact video and had the exact same reaction. I too am not a Christian but that prayer was so heartfelt and special at a time I needed it most. Thanks for reminding me of it Hannah and thanks for your loving heart, kind words and inspirational actions Jamerrill.
@@kristenboschma9065 I also remember that video. I am a Christian and it made me cry as well. J Morell is a blessing to us mom's. Even with kids who are grown and out of the house!
Girl, I wish I was your neighbor, I would have been over to help you!! Please never even read what those nasty people have to say! You are such a wonderful person! I hope you feel better!
Oh my goodness! My heart broke when I saw you trying so hard to save everything and it was so late at night. I could literally feel how tired you were! You are such an amazing, strong and motivated momma! You deserve so many millions of gold medals for how hard you work for yourself and your family. Such an inspirational person you are!
Oh, I felt SO bad for you!! We have multiple freezers too and it’s just a nightmare when one goes out or gets left open. 😣 I hope the voices of those of us who support you and get it are the loud ones right now!!! 💗 You rock, Jamerill!!!! You did your best and it shows!!! 💪
I absolutely do NOT want to meet the person who has never experienced something go wrong….these are the stories you can tell and laugh at (later 😉)…. How boring their life must be !!!
I don’t often comment, but I just have to say, you are one of my FAVORITE RUclips moms. You are so real and relatable and honest. I appreciate you and your transparency. You have an awesome ability to face challenges with a smile and a “we’ll figure it out” attitude. Hugs sent your way! 🤗
Even though I am sorry that happened to you with the freezer, I was thinking I am thankful you are able to show us what to do if it happens to us. Thank you!
Just happened on this video; good grief! As a farm mom, loosing a freezer is our biggest nightmare! I'm amazed that you made it through such a major disaster and kept going! Good for you mama!!
I appreciate you so much Jamerrill! I have been homesteading and preserving food for almost 20 years and I still make HUGE mistakes. This year has probably been the worst ever. Thank you so much for being REAL. It encourages the rest of us who are also not perfect. God bless you! You are awesome!
The main reason I Watch and Love you, is that your real Real life Real life situation I Pray you get some rest, and colds get better You work so hard, Be Proud!
Jamerrill you are so precious. We went on vacation one year and when we came home our freezer had stopped working and we lost everything. It happens to most of us. Love your videos. You always amaze me at how much you get done.
That happened to us in June- my SIL discovered the drainage while we were on vacation. It worked 32 years and died while we were on our first vacation in 2 years….packed full….
Just a few freeze dryer tips, 1) tomatoes with seeds can take days to complete, so you can always add more dry time, or simply put the tray back in the freezer while you clean and defrost, then restart the whole process. 2) Your freeze dryer is too close to the wall on the left. The left side is the air intake to keep the motor in the freeze dryer from overheating. 3) The water collected in the bucket from the drain can be used to water your garden, don't let it get too full. I always just hold my tube in the air when I release the vacuum. Then place back in the bucket to collect the drain water. 4) To clean the drum, take the gasket off and the shelf out and clean with mild soap and water. I also wipe the inside down with vodka to sanitize it. I have to keep my upright freezer locked for the very same reason, spit happens! Just keep doing you! 💕
Don't be so hard on yourself. I've had tons of water leaks and always feel like it's just me...by the way, your hair looked great. Love it long....thanks for sharing the good, bad and ugly. Tomorrow is a new day!!! Love your channel.
I’m so sorry for the struggles but thank God you posted this because I swear I was about to give up. Literally everything is going wrong in my life to a degree that is scaring me. It just seems like it won’t let up and with each new thing it’s worse. You handled your stresses way better than I could or am. It really makes you feel like you aren’t alone, so ty for that. I’m sorry people are a-holes and want to watch to pick you apart like never have anything go wrong, must be freaking nice right?? I appreciate you and how you share your struggles and the outcome of pushing through despite wanting to cry and not giving up.
I’m sorry that you’re having a hard time right now. I’m thankful for any encouragement you can take from these fumbling around videos of mine. There’s always a brighter day and many times we have to just choose to make the best of it, lumps, bumps and all ☀️
You handled the mishap with grace and style. I was pulling out my hair when it happened to me. Cooked all the meat and froze it. Made a ton of veggie soup, and canned it, that lasted all winter. Baked pies and canned fruit and veggies. I was a mess for 2 days. But we made it and God is Good. We were and are thankful for all the food we were able to save. You are the greatest. My hat is off to you. Those with negative vibe, well may God Bless them too.
I can't tell you how many times someone has called with a freezer emergency and we rally and help cook and can. It is life and you always handle it with such Grace.
This is one of the downsides of freezing. We bought freezer alarms on Amazon after losing one (it was 2 years old and just died... we didn't discover it for a few days). You did great!!! And you've inspired me to have a plan if it were to happen again.
I love that you share both the roses and the thrones of your life with us. Your example of how you simply deal with your challenges with such grace and humor. What exactly is the difference in the outcome in products between those that have been dehydrating and freeze drying?
I’m so sorry to hear this. I have had this happen to me. I lost everything. You do a great job. Your a great inspiration to me. Bless you and keep pushing
I had this happen in May, I discovered I had accidentally left the freezer door slightly open and everything had defrosted on the day we were going away on holiday! I had nobody to blame but myself. I was so stressed, it happens to the best of us 😭 x
I am totally amazed that you were able to do all that you've done!!! And you're not yelling at everyone! I would totally be yelling at EVERYONE! Great job!!!
This literally just happened at my house! Fortunately it wasn't my meat freezer, but it was still a HUGE mess and so much work. You're doing a great job.
I love that you are so authentic. I love you more for sharing it & being so honest. It’s real life and stuff happens. After an 18hr nightshift I came home to a freezer disaster & I just closed to door and went to bed 😂
God bless you. You are more than a content creator on RUclips . You are a dear friend from a distance ,a sister in Christ ,an amazing mother, a wonderful daughter, tremendous wife and a lady with an awesome new kitchen and I would do exactly what you're doing if my freezer door had been opened . I have been through such things in my life. You're doing a good job you keep going and don't listen to that negative stuff. I'll pray for them 💜. In Ithe meantime God bless you and your family. I enjoy every minute of your videos. Thank you so much for being a brave kind person.💪🏽🙏💖🐝
I left my freezer door open only last week, luckily only for a hour before I found out, so I grateful if wasn't any longer. I feel your pain. Love from Cheshire England xx
I would check my homeowner’s insurance to see if this is a covered loss. Usually, all they require is pictures. You have yours on video. That’s why we pay such huge premiums. I’d definitely file a claim.
I would check if I were her too. Our fridge just broke and we had a umbrella extra coverage for our fridge so it worked out for us. We have only been with this insurance for a little over a year and our agent did buck about it because it was our second claim in a year, I said well what do we have insurance for then?? Pay all those premiums and they never want to pay out when you need it!
Jammerill, I've been a fan of yours for awhile but never EVER commented on one of your videos until now. YOU GO GIRL! In whatever capacity you can. To the NAYSAYERS, the VITRIOLIC, the UNSUPPORTIVE, and the CRITICAL SNARKS - I hope that somehow, somewhere, and sooner rather than later, you're able to welcome a smidgeon of human enlightenment into your psyche and embrace COMPASSION. As for you, dear Jammerill, keep doing, sharing, and showing us your methods and your madness. You are the HUMANIST OF HUMANS and WE LOVE YOU!!
Also I want to thank you for sharing your struggles when your hubby lost his job and y'all seek assistance from the state I had no idea about any of this and now is helping us thank you so much from the bottom of my soul
This must be so disheartening. Our generator didn't work properly after a hurricane, and we lost everything in our garage refrigerator, but hey we got to start with a nice, clean slate. Thanks for showing real life. You have no judgement over here; grace and mercy should always rule the day!
Just don’t listen to the haters! I had this happen to me with a power outage,right after doing a huge shopping trip. I think you handled it with total grace!!! I wound up cooking everything and was able to donate to my church and neighbors ❤️
This has happened a few times in our home too... Of course "someone did it" but we never know who... So I recently bought those baby proof fridge locks to put on our freezers (🤞🤞 that helps to avoid future "oops").. Glad you found the silver lining and was able to get some extra projects done (even though it wasn't on the list, God's letting you know it needed to be done)
I did the same thing when our freezer was left open by "I didn't do it" for the third time. Kids are raised and gone and I still use them. Comfort in knowing uts not going to happen again. Wish my other oops could be fixed that easily!
Having lost 3 full freezers full of food in weather disasters, you did an amazing job. By the time I could get back to the freezers,everything was warm. You can only do your best. You tried. Kudos to you. 💗
I’m sure that’s the last thing you wanted to do after a day of appointments, but you pushed through and did it. Bless your heart, 💕 food is too expensive not to save it, I’m sorry that happened ❤
Jamerill you make my heart happy ... You are one of the most authentic people I watch. We all have those days and sometimes weeks ...We have lost a freezer full of food a couple times girl I feel ya there. Stay just the way you are! God's got your back!
Thanks for sharing your mishap with us. We know that taking the time to film it and explain just added more work for you and we appreciate you. Same thing happened to me this week after putting in 10 processed chickens in the freezer but luckily my food was still frozen when I caught it.
Oh my goodness!!!!! I felt every bit of this video!!!!!!!!!!!!! After watching you, I went and checked my freezers! You are amazing how you just worked so hard to salvage it all, I could feel the pain in my back, watching you. I wanted you so badly to go to BED! Thank you for sharing, nice to know these things happen to us all. I hope you get to take a week long break, some how, or, a day, or two! You deserve it for sure.
What you do on your channel is real life. There are always those "perfect" people who are critical... ignore them . You are the person God called you to be. Be real I enjoy that about you. You Rock
Exactly! This is Real Life. My dad used to say “nobody is perfect, we all make mistakes. Some people are just too prideful”. In our family, we admit them freely and laugh about them together. Lol.
This was me last week. A whole freezer, too old and the door didn’t close properly. We were blessed to find a last minute small freezer for the food still frozen, and did a bunch of cooking, baking, and our family was happy to receive food! 😅 I’m just happy it didn’t go to waste.
Hi! We had a freezer that was left cracked open, luckily we caught it before things thawed. After that I found freezer monitors on Amazon. Ours came in a 2 pack .
Oh my what an adventure. It has happened to us all even those “perfect” people who won’t admit it. So glad you saved a good bit of it. Very impressed with the freeze dryer tales! Neat! There are little sensors you can get on amazon for your freezer with alarms on the outside when the temp changes. (You tuber prepping over 50 has a video on them with links.) Big hugs! Can only imagine by now you are transitioning to your new kitchen! Can’t wait! 🌸🌷🌸🌷🌸🌷🌸
I really like that you just keep rolling through things. And you are very honest with showing us things as they actually go or don’t go. Hope the freeze dryer was easy to clean.
You are such a good steward of all God gives you . That was so much work and your attitude was positive . Many would have given up and thrown it all away but you showed perseverance !
I have no idea how anyone could NOT be your cheerleader, it amazes me how a significant portion of our society will judge negatively rather than reach out with humanity and support and positivity to help others get through everyday life mishaps.
Girl we’ve all had misadventures in the kitchen. When the negative Ned and Nancy have theirs, they can refer to your videos when they are panicked and looking for a solution. I love you and so do all your fans/friends/family.
I feel your pain. Had the same thing happen a couple of weeks ago, lost all the food and the fridge/freezer. Happy that I bought a chest freezer a month prior and transferred a majority of the stuff, but still it's like watching yourself throwing money in the trash.
You seem to be so resilient. I know this had to be one of the times you just wanted to find a closet and cry your eyes out. You need to know that you taught us all how to deal with this kind of thing. Jesus loves you honey! Alot
Thank you for you’re grace, a lot of people would not be so graceful for losing that much food. Thankfully you have some wonderful farm babies that will benefit from it.
If you have to open a large pack of oxygen absorbers, tuck the ones you won't be using in the smallest mason jar that will hold them. The oxygen absorbers will be fine until you need to use them 😊
Thank you for being real and showing us true life. Sometimes things just go wrong and that’s okay. There’s a lesson in it somewhere and if nothing else, your children get to see how you respond to life throwing you a curveball.
Thank you so much Jamerrill for sharing the ups and downs….I’ve been where you are, in my younger days, I’ve processed chickens, and restocked our flock with the incubator…I’ve also just sat down and cried, but sister your doing great…I’m just one of your fans but I’m so glad I found you because your such an inspiration….Blessing to you and your busy family… 🙏🙏💕
Jamerrill you are making the best "Lemonade" ever. Give yourself grace you are doing a great job. Let he who is without sin through the first stone. We will feel sorry for their sad Life. Take care, Cheryl from Kansas City, MO.
Your still an amazing business woman and mom. I appreciate you sharing the freezer mishap. It shows life happens and I don't feel as alone. Love your videos
Yes Jamerrill, you can’t put any whole tomatoes in the freeze dryer, you have to always cut them. Jessica from Three Rivers Homestead made the same mistake too, live and learn.
One of the reasons that I love your channel and you is because you are a real person with real life! Watching you and your positive attitude, even though a trial, inspires me that I can do it too.
I love your freeze dryer setup, best I’ve seen. So handy to have the dedicated freezer right next to it, and your stainless counter is awesome. Sorry this happened now, but if you have a freezer this will happen at some point to everyone. So nice to be diverse with the freeze dryer and canning. Shelf stable.
What a July you've had! I've lost a freezer full of food as well. It does happen and you handled it like a champ! How I wish I had your energy! Another great video although I'm sorry you had such a rough July. Thank you for sharing with us!
Wow, Jamerrill. You are an amazing woman. I am in awe of your abilities to handle these things and do it so very well! What a blessing you are to your family and others. God bless you greatly, momma.
You will always be a super woman to most of us here. I’m sorry there are always “grumpy Bessie’s” out there trying to make themselves feel better by voicing what THEY think you did wrong. Things happen, life is an adventure. No one died🤣. Thank you for sharing, even when you don’t have too. 🥰
Everyone has freezer mishaps. The ones who criticize you are either liars or they are not living on their own and has mommy and daddy still doing for them. Pay them no mind. You are normal..no one's perfect..and people learn a lot from watching you. I know I do.
Been through same thing-had a deep freeze go out-too late by time we realized it-total loss plus a huge mess to clean up before we could have the freezer hauled off. Bless your heart ❤️ Cheering you on for whatever you could save-however you were able to save it.
Mine went out in 1989 when I was pregnant with my youngest son. I opened the door and took off out the back door, hit my knees and was dreadfully sick. Terrible thing to happen but when you're pregnant????
Jamerrill, you are an inspiration to so many other women. You work so hard, you have a wonderful family and you are amazing. I don't know how you manage your busy life and stay sane. I've had 2 freezer failures, these went un-noticed until it was too late to save any of the food. At least you can feed your animals with the food you saved. Take care of yourself, God bless and sleep well 🙏❤💤
I think you did amazing job saving the freezer mishap. We had the same thing happen. But didn’t see if until everything was hot. I had to trash the whole freezer. We keep our freezer in the garage. You are doing such a great job!
I had this happen and found unplugged freezer on a day I had 30 people coming over for a massive bbq. I started the bbq at 8am cooking some of the freezer meats that could be used that day and put the newly purchased bbq meats back in plugged freezer. Sent my husband to the store to buy extra propane tank to be able to keep going as needed. I also had the house oven on all day cooking everything to refreeze. This in middle of summer, with house full of guests inside and outside, with no AC. I have no clue how I survived that day. You did very well and nothing is going to waste. The feathered and furries need to eat it. Love that you share us your successess and fails. Tfs.
If I could hug you, I would! You are an amazing woman who loves her family well and whose business is about helping others figure out how to manage life when it gets tough. It hurts my heart that there are so many who want to tear down someone who does nothing but lift others up. Thank you for sharing the good days and the bad days, but especially for the way you share hope and love with a world that is desperate for it!
You sure are a lot stronger than I would be. I’d be in tears here. Sobbing my heart out at all the extra work to be done. I’d put a lock on the main freezer. Lol
First off I just love how you share all the awesomes and all the fails, you’re just real life and that’s why we love to watch! I wanted to share a hot tip from chef life: if you’ve got a grease stain on clothing most of the time I can get it off with some dawn dish soap, I just dab it on directly, rub it in slightly and let it sit for a few hours or over night the wash as usual, and it almost always works. Even if you’ve already washed it (and you think the stain is set) you can still use this trick and it usually works. Sending you all the love!
We had the same situation on last Christmas eve. No-one own up to it. But someone turned off the big chest freezer off. We took a deep breath, dumped what we couldn't salvage. And kept going. Jamerill you always do your best. This is life with its ups and downs. Shame that people could be so awful and judgemental.
My heart was broken for you with the freezer incident. You made SUCH a valiant attempt to save as much as possible! I'm actually quite inspired on ways to salvage things if I'm ever in a similar situation. I KNOW I'm lucky that I've never lost a freezer. And even going to the animals, you saved that food! As for the tomatoes, now we all know they need to be cut first. Thank you for taking one for the team and teaching us! And I laughed when you labeled the bags "Exploded Tomatoes". 😂
Jamerrill, long time watcher and this feels like the perfect video to share your impact on my life.

@@JamerrillStewart you are a true blessing!!
I remember that video too!! She is a true servant of God!!
Her level of patience and resilience is remarkable. I would have lost my mind in that situation. You're an inspiration Jamerill!
I agree, I wish I had that patience,, I would have felt so stressed I would have freaked out.
Mistakes are always being made, regardless if people don't want to tell it, We are human!
No one ever gets by being scathed, we all have problems and troubles no matter what we look like or do.
Girl, I wish I was your neighbor, I would have been over to help you!! Please never even read what those nasty people have to say! You are such a wonderful person! I hope you feel better!
Amen and Amen!
I’m so sorry that people can be awful, I totally have been there with mishaps. It happen we all just do our best. I certainly know you do.
Oh my goodness! My heart broke when I saw you trying so hard to save everything and it was so late at night. I could literally feel how tired you were! You are such an amazing, strong and motivated momma! You deserve so many millions of gold medals for how hard you work for yourself and your family. Such an inspirational person you are!
Oh, I felt SO bad for you!! We have multiple freezers too and it’s just a nightmare when one goes out or gets left open. 😣 I hope the voices of those of us who support you and get it are the loud ones right now!!! 💗 You rock, Jamerill!!!! You did your best and it shows!!! 💪
This video is exactly why I have looked up to you for a few years. Your patients & perseverance are inspiring. . You are amazing.
Omg right!
I absolutely do NOT want to meet the person who has never experienced something go wrong….these are the stories you can tell and laugh at (later 😉)…. How boring their life must be !!!
I don’t often comment, but I just have to say, you are one of my FAVORITE RUclips moms. You are so real and relatable and honest. I appreciate you and your transparency. You have an awesome ability to face challenges with a smile and a “we’ll figure it out” attitude. Hugs sent your way! 🤗
That’s exactly what I was going to say!

Just happened on this video; good grief! As a farm mom, loosing a freezer is our biggest nightmare! I'm amazed that you made it through such a major disaster and kept going! Good for you mama!!
We are just a regular fam with big freezer filled with bargains and make ahead food ,just once and I cried for all my work
I appreciate you so much Jamerrill! I have been homesteading and preserving food for almost 20 years and I still make HUGE mistakes. This year has probably been the worst ever. Thank you so much for being REAL. It encourages the rest of us who are also not perfect. God bless you! You are awesome!
I love your videos & optimism. I had a stroke March 21st & if there’s one thing I’ve learned it’s that optimism is the best medicine.
The main reason I Watch and Love you, is that your real

I Pray you get some rest, and colds get better

I love your grace when you receive negative feedback. I have a small family and I still can’t keep
Up with your energy. God bless!
You work so hard for your family. You’re an inspiration to all of us to be selfless, grateful, patient, and devoted.
Don't be so hard on yourself. I've had tons of water leaks and always feel like it's just me...by the way, your hair looked great. Love it long....thanks for sharing the good, bad and ugly. Tomorrow is a new day!!! Love your channel.
Thank you for your transparency. So sorry this happened to your family. A stressful situation for sure but I really appreciate your positive outlook!
Her love for the Lord always shines thru. No matter the circumstances.

"The vortex that was this morning" - even when you're exhausted, you're hilarious. :) I admire how you take things in stride!
You handled the mishap with grace and style. I was pulling out my hair when it happened to me. Cooked all the meat and froze it. Made a ton of veggie soup, and canned it, that lasted all winter.

Props for keeping your head up and spirits high. That's such a gut wrenching realization.
I can't tell you how many times someone has called with a freezer emergency and we rally and help cook and can. It is life and you always handle it with such Grace.
Girl… I’m rooting for you! Thank you for sharing real life. You are precious, and real, and hardworking and I wish you the very best.
This is one of the downsides of freezing. We bought freezer alarms on Amazon after losing one (it was 2 years old and just died... we didn't discover it for a few days).

"frantic" mom bun, haha
I love that you share both the roses and the thrones of your life with us. Your example of how you simply deal with your challenges with such grace and humor.
What exactly is the difference in the outcome in products between those that have been dehydrating and freeze drying?
I’m so sorry to hear this. I have had this happen to me. I lost everything. You do a great job. Your a great inspiration to me. Bless you and keep pushing
Resa! I love your Resa channel. I’ve watched darn near all your videos😁
I had this happen in May, I discovered I had accidentally left the freezer door slightly open and everything had defrosted on the day we were going away on holiday! I had nobody to blame but myself. I was so stressed, it happens to the best of us 😭 x
We baught freezer alarms from Amazon!
I am totally amazed that you were able to do all that you've done!!! And you're not yelling at everyone! I would totally be yelling at EVERYONE! Great job!!!
Yes, I would have been yelling at everyone and everything!🤣
So sorry about the freezer , been there. 😢 But especially sorry for the freeze dryer mess. I hate clean ups like that. So hang in there and big hugs.❤
This literally just happened at my house! Fortunately it wasn't my meat freezer, but it was still a HUGE mess and so much work. You're doing a great job.

We lost everything in our freezers during a power outage. These things happen. I was in awe by your effort. Your honesty is always so refreshing.
Jammerill, I've been a fan of yours for awhile but never EVER commented on one of your videos until now.
YOU GO GIRL! In whatever capacity you can.
To the NAYSAYERS, the VITRIOLIC, the UNSUPPORTIVE, and the CRITICAL SNARKS - I hope that somehow, somewhere, and sooner rather than later, you're able to welcome a smidgeon of human enlightenment into your psyche and embrace COMPASSION.
As for you, dear Jammerill, keep doing, sharing, and showing us your methods and your madness. You are the HUMANIST OF HUMANS and WE LOVE YOU!!
Also I want to thank you for sharing your struggles when your hubby lost his job and y'all seek assistance from the state I had no idea about any of this and now is helping us thank you so much from the bottom of my soul
This must be so disheartening. Our generator didn't work properly after a hurricane, and we lost everything in our garage refrigerator, but hey we got to start with a nice, clean slate. Thanks for showing real life. You have no judgement over here; grace and mercy should always rule the day!
Just don’t listen to the haters! I had this happen to me with a power outage,right after doing a huge shopping trip. I think you handled it with total grace!!! I wound up cooking everything and was able to donate to my church and neighbors ❤️
This has happened a few times in our home too... Of course "someone did it" but we never know who... So I recently bought those baby proof fridge locks to put on our freezers (🤞🤞 that helps to avoid future "oops")..
Glad you found the silver lining and was able to get some extra projects done (even though it wasn't on the list, God's letting you know it needed to be done)
I did the same thing when our freezer was left open by "I didn't do it" for the third time. Kids are raised and gone and I still use them. Comfort in knowing uts not going to happen again. Wish my other oops could be fixed that easily!
I just did the same thing. They have been working so far.
In my house, it's *always* "Mr Wasn't Me" or his sister Miss "I don't know" 😂
Having lost 3 full freezers full of food in weather disasters, you did an amazing job. By the time I could get back to the freezers,everything was warm. You can only do your best. You tried. Kudos to you. 💗
I’m sure that’s the last thing you wanted to do after a day of appointments, but you pushed through and did it. Bless your heart, 💕 food is too expensive not to save it, I’m sorry that happened ❤
Love your family, your adventures, your personality and your honesty! Keep it awesome, you rock momma!
Jamerill you make my heart happy ... You are one of the most authentic people I watch. We all have those days and sometimes weeks ...We have lost a freezer full of food a couple times girl I feel ya there. Stay just the way you are! God's got your back!
I feel your pain. I have had mysteries of the freezer mishaps. Bless your heart.
Thanks for sharing your mishap with us. We know that taking the time to film it and explain just added more work for you and we appreciate you. Same thing happened to me this week after putting in 10 processed chickens in the freezer but luckily my food was still frozen when I caught it.
Oh my goodness!!!!! I felt every bit of this video!!!!!!!!!!!!! After watching you, I went and checked my freezers! You are amazing how you just worked so hard to salvage it all, I could feel the pain in my back, watching you. I wanted you so badly to go to BED! Thank you for sharing, nice to know these things happen to us all. I hope you get to take a week long break, some how, or, a day, or two! You deserve it for sure.
You handled everything the best you could. At least you saved the food. Great job!!!
Thank you for your encouraging video. You are such a blessing to so many! Sorry for your losses…happy for your gains!!
What you do on your channel is real life. There are always those "perfect" people who are critical... ignore them . You are the person God called you to be. Be real I enjoy that about you. You Rock
Exactly! This is Real Life. My dad used to say “nobody is perfect, we all make mistakes. Some people are just too prideful”. In our family, we admit them freely and laugh about them together. Lol.
This was me last week. A whole freezer, too old and the door didn’t close properly. We were blessed to find a last minute small freezer for the food still frozen, and did a bunch of cooking, baking, and our family was happy to receive food! 😅 I’m just happy it didn’t go to waste.
Great job!
Hi! We had a freezer that was left cracked open, luckily we caught it before things thawed. After that I found freezer monitors on Amazon. Ours came in a 2 pack .
Wow, thanks for that. I didn't know they existed!👍
Oh my what an adventure. It has happened to us all even those “perfect” people who won’t admit it. So glad you saved a good bit of it. Very impressed with the freeze dryer tales! Neat! There are little sensors you can get on amazon for your freezer with alarms on the outside when the temp changes. (You tuber prepping over 50 has a video on them with links.) Big hugs! Can only imagine by now you are transitioning to your new kitchen! Can’t wait! 🌸🌷🌸🌷🌸🌷🌸
I like how you always find a silver lining.
I really like that you just keep rolling through things.
And you are very honest with showing us things as they actually go or don’t go.
Hope the freeze dryer was easy to clean.
You are such a good steward of all God gives you . That was so much work and your attitude was positive . Many would have given up and thrown it all away but you showed perseverance !
Thank you for sharing. This is really life for a family. I’m happy you shared this, I’m not sure how I would have handled it.♥️
I have no idea how anyone could NOT be your cheerleader, it amazes me how a significant portion of our society will judge negatively rather than reach out with humanity and support and positivity to help others get through everyday life mishaps.
Yes&amen, to all above
Girl we’ve all had misadventures in the kitchen. When the negative Ned and Nancy have theirs, they can refer to your videos when they are panicked and looking for a solution. I love you and so do all your fans/friends/family.
I feel your pain. Had the same thing happen a couple of weeks ago, lost all the food and the fridge/freezer. Happy that I bought a chest freezer a month prior and transferred a majority of the stuff, but still it's like watching yourself throwing money in the trash.
You seem to be so resilient. I know this had to be one of the times you just wanted to find a closet and cry your eyes out. You need to know that you taught us all how to deal with this kind of thing. Jesus loves you honey! Alot
Thank you for you’re grace, a lot of people would not be so graceful for losing that much food. Thankfully you have some wonderful farm babies that will benefit from it.
If you have to open a large pack of oxygen absorbers, tuck the ones you won't be using in the smallest mason jar that will hold them. The oxygen absorbers will be fine until you need to use them 😊
Thank you for being real and showing us true life. Sometimes things just go wrong and that’s okay. There’s a lesson in it somewhere and if nothing else, your children get to see how you respond to life throwing you a curveball.
I give you all the credit in the world for your persistence. I don’t know how you do it all.👍👍👍
You are a precious gift! Thanks for sharing your life.
oh goodness your doing a great job and your food salvage was handled appropriately, sometimes we don't win them all!
Thank you for sharing this Jamerrill! It’s good to see how you handled such a situation. Very informative!
Love your days in the normal way of life. Full of admiration for you, happy children, happy home, plus full time job.
Thank you so much Jamerrill for sharing the ups and downs….I’ve been where you are, in my younger days, I’ve processed chickens, and restocked our flock with the incubator…I’ve also just sat down and cried, but sister your doing great…I’m just one of your fans but I’m so glad I found you because your such an inspiration….Blessing to you and your busy family… 🙏🙏💕
Jamerrill you are making the best "Lemonade" ever. Give yourself grace you are doing a great job.
Let he who is without sin through the first stone. We will feel sorry for their sad Life. Take care, Cheryl from Kansas City, MO.
Your still an amazing business woman and mom. I appreciate you sharing the freezer mishap. It shows life happens and I don't feel as alone. Love your videos
Yes Jamerrill, you can’t put any whole tomatoes in the freeze dryer, you have to always cut them. Jessica from Three Rivers Homestead made the same mistake too, live and learn.
One of the reasons that I love your channel and you is because you are a real person with real life! Watching you and your positive attitude, even though a trial, inspires me that I can do it too.
Failure? Nope, just life and you do it well, full of sweet love 💜
Happy belated birthday Benjamin from Northern California 🎂🪂🍉🎉🎊😬🤠
I love your freeze dryer setup, best I’ve seen. So handy to have the dedicated freezer right next to it, and your stainless counter is awesome. Sorry this happened now, but if you have a freezer this will happen at some point to everyone. So nice to be diverse with the freeze dryer and canning. Shelf stable.
A lot going on!! You got this. Sometimes when I get overwhelmed I just lock myself in my room and check out for an hour!!
You're such a joy to watch, and a great reminder to keep the faith, and find good in all things..
What a July you've had! I've lost a freezer full of food as well. It does happen and you handled it like a champ! How I wish I had your energy! Another great video although I'm sorry you had such a rough July. Thank you for sharing with us!
Bless your heart. You worked so hard to try to save it all. You are such a hard worker.
Look into buying a door alarm for your freezer. It will let you know if the door isn't closed properly.
Wow, Jamerrill. You are an amazing woman. I am in awe of your abilities to handle these things and do it so very well! What a blessing you are to your family and others. God bless you greatly, momma.
You will always be a super woman to most of us here. I’m sorry there are always “grumpy Bessie’s” out there trying to make themselves feel better by voicing what THEY think you did wrong. Things happen, life is an adventure. No one died🤣.
Thank you for sharing, even when you don’t have too. 🥰
Everyone has freezer mishaps. The ones who criticize you are either liars or they are not living on their own and has mommy and daddy still doing for them. Pay them no mind. You are normal..no one's perfect..and people learn a lot from watching you. I know I do.
Been through same thing-had a deep freeze go out-too late by time we realized it-total loss plus a huge mess to clean up before we could have the freezer hauled off. Bless your heart ❤️ Cheering you on for whatever you could save-however you were able to save it.
Mine went out in 1989 when I was pregnant with my youngest son. I opened the door and took off out the back door, hit my knees and was dreadfully sick. Terrible thing to happen but when you're pregnant????
Jamerrill, you are an inspiration to so many other women. You work so hard, you have a wonderful family and you are amazing. I don't know how you manage your busy life and stay sane. I've had 2 freezer failures, these went un-noticed until it was too late to save any of the food. At least you can feed your animals with the food you saved. Take care of yourself, God bless and sleep well 🙏❤💤
I think you did amazing job saving the freezer mishap. We had the same thing happen. But didn’t see if until everything was hot. I had to trash the whole freezer. We keep our freezer in the garage. You are doing such a great job!
I had this happen and found unplugged freezer on a day I had 30 people coming over for a massive bbq. I started the bbq at 8am cooking some of the freezer meats that could be used that day and put the newly purchased bbq meats back in plugged freezer. Sent my husband to the store to buy extra propane tank to be able to keep going as needed. I also had the house oven on all day cooking everything to refreeze. This in middle of summer, with house full of guests inside and outside, with no AC. I have no clue how I survived that day.
You did very well and nothing is going to waste. The feathered and furries need to eat it. Love that you share us your successess and fails. Tfs.
Girl I felt for you this whole video. You always get things done, even the unexpected things.
I am always in aww of how much you do and how easy you make it look, even though I’m sure it isn’t. You’re doing great Mega Mama!
If I could hug you, I would! You are an amazing woman who loves her family well and whose business is about helping others figure out how to manage life when it gets tough. It hurts my heart that there are so many who want to tear down someone who does nothing but lift others up. Thank you for sharing the good days and the bad days, but especially for the way you share hope and love with a world that is desperate for it!
You sure are a lot stronger than I would be. I’d be in tears here. Sobbing my heart out at all the extra work to be done. I’d put a lock on the main freezer. Lol
First off I just love how you share all the awesomes and all the fails, you’re just real life and that’s why we love to watch! I wanted to share a hot tip from chef life: if you’ve got a grease stain on clothing most of the time I can get it off with some dawn dish soap, I just dab it on directly, rub it in slightly and let it sit for a few hours or over night the wash as usual, and it almost always works. Even if you’ve already washed it (and you think the stain is set) you can still use this trick and it usually works. Sending you all the love!
We had the same situation on last Christmas eve. No-one own up to it. But someone turned off the big chest freezer off. We took a deep breath, dumped what we couldn't salvage. And kept going. Jamerill you always do your best. This is life with its ups and downs. Shame that people could be so awful and judgemental.
My heart was broken for you with the freezer incident. You made SUCH a valiant attempt to save as much as possible! I'm actually quite inspired on ways to salvage things if I'm ever in a similar situation. I KNOW I'm lucky that I've never lost a freezer. And even going to the animals, you saved that food!
As for the tomatoes, now we all know they need to be cut first. Thank you for taking one for the team and teaching us! And I laughed when you labeled the bags "Exploded Tomatoes". 😂
