    I am almost 70 years old I never liked them and I decided that I was gonna try it in the air fryer so I brushed it with a little melted butter and some honey
    I absolutely loved it now I eat salmon once a week

    OMG your earring organization . Back in my, thankfully brief, corporate era, I paired my hideous suits with a rainbow of silk blouses. My closet was totally ROYGBIV, and it was the only thing that kept me sane. And yay to Pez dispensers in the stockings. That was a staple of my childhood, along with Silly Putty.

    Merry Christmas to you! For those large earrings, just cut them. They look like leather so you could make a template, trace it, and cut them to a size you prefer.

    Gifts in the Advent season! We mostly buy things that the children need. But of course also toys. The biggest gift is the one that is unwrapped on Christmas Eve itself. With 3 children, there will be 72 gifts to wrap just for the advent calendar. Now, fortunately, the stress is over, our guests are strewn around the living room with new games and new books. The light will soon return and in three months spring will arrive. I got an ice cream maker and it will be used a lot this summer! Still Merry Christmas to everyone. Catholics probably don't celebrate until tonight - so happy evening to all of you. Now back to Jen.

    Happy Christmas! I really enjoy your videos. For my longer necklaces that are to long or bulky for my jewelry box, I used one of those key racks that you mount on the wall. I think it has 4 hooks, but then I screwed extra cup hooks in between each and mounted it on the inside wall of my closet. They hang nicely and are convenient when I am picking out an outfit for the day.

I have some major purchases coming up in 2023, my appliances are starting to go. I bought a new Microwave in November. I need to get a new stove as January is the best month for new appliances. I need to replace my 24 year old carpet, please don’t judge, and I need a a new car too. 2023 is going to be an expensive year. Happy New Year my friend,❤️

    Merry Christmas Jen to you and your family. It has been a pleasure watching you.
    I have the wall mount jewelry box with the mirrored door. It holds a ton of necklace s and other jewelry. I also have two large jewelry boxes that set on a dresser and another earring holder similar to yours and an extra bracelet holder. I may have a problem lol I find the boxes on my dressers hold a lot of smaller items and the wall mount is good for large pieces.

  • @Thatgeekishfamily
    @Thatgeekishfamily 2 года назад

    Jen - there is a stainless steel gove that works a ton better than the fabric one you have. It's sort of like chain-mail, but not really. After going through quite a few of the fabric ones and cutting the tips off (that did protect my finger), I switched and am so glad I did.

It's funny because it happened so fast I didn't even register pain until I saw the blood. My potatos were ruined which was a bummer. Lessons learned the hard way I guess.
