Thank you so much for the FaceTime, we had a blast!!!😊 It's so encouraging to see your godly example in leading your family to honor God in everything you do!! 🙏 Lord willing, we will meet in person someday! 🥰
I did a huge Costco delivery order a few weeks before things started getting too bad. Yes it was a little more expensive but totally worth it. I was exhausted and going through radiation treatment so I couldn’t have done that shopping myself even if I wanted too. I was so thankful for that service! I did it early enough that I was still able to get toilet paper, huge jug of hand sanitizer, Lysol wipes etc.
I’m Making masks in Seattle for a missions group I volunteer with . Generally we sew twice a month making things to go with missionaries ( ie days for girls, hats. Quilts, Ponchos, hot pads, clothing ) but we were asked to sew masks for local needs so we are! We are mainly donating them to caregivers at senior facilities, group homes , and clinics . I’ve sewn / donated 325 masks in the past 3 weeks.
Hope spring comes to you very soon. Absolutely beautiful Easter weekend in UK. Very grateful for our garden . Blossom on the trees and flowers shooting. Keep working on getting your masks sewn Jessica.
My daughter has worked instacart for two years. She loves shopping for people. She talked me into signing up last September for my third job and it's great most of the time. It's been great being able to help people who can't get out especially right now.
The insta-cart service is great have been using for a long time; that being said this pandemic has changed things! You don't always get the texts while your shopper-shoppes! These people deserve so much for continuing to work and meet are privileged needs.
@@juliesakioka3717 It really is a great service and I hope people don't judge the service badly during this time. Ware I live there is a 2 week delay for getting orders, not mad at that, we are adjusting to take that in to account. These services are running at a capacity that no one was expecting .
@@catherineg6861 I have close friends who are essential workers doing jobs that we as consumers should be so grateful that are still being done. I will never again take for granted the wonderful people who are putting themselves out there for the rest of us. Stay safe and wish you well.
We made masks for the garden statues we have outside our home. They make people slow down and laugh. The local news came and took photos. A little joy was needed around here. Have a great day Somers fam.
We just started using Instacart during our states quarantine and other than their delivery fees I love it so far. They even sent texts for everything they either had to exchange with something similar or had to refund.
My son and our Suzy and I live in CO. We are right in the middle of a hot spot. Suzy works at the grocery store. Everyone in our town is making masks and selling them on CL market place. We have made 51 complete masks assembly line style and have donated every last one. Ours are very similar to yours. Keep up the good work! God Bless us all!
There’s a HUGE price difference if you can order online through the store’s website instead of through Instacart. Kroger stores you can order online with them, then it sends it to Instacart, which means you are charged through the store and not the extra markup. Some stores don’t offer this and you have to order through Instacart, but if you have a Kroger store, it’s a big savings. Same price as pickup, only extra cost is the delivery and tip,
I would give anything to be able to pick up my groceries. I've tried to place orders 3 times with Kroger and Meijer and 3 times, after wasting over an hour putting together my order there were no available pick-up or delivery times. I ended up having to shop in store. I don't understand why these stores can't put more resources towards fulfilling online orders if that's where the demand is.💁 It's frustrating if you live in a more populated area and I wish they would give us better options than being forced to shop in store.
@@Nicole-qc5dh I am frustrated too that I can't get a delivery appointment and I am a regular customer. But I think the stores are suffering from a shortage of staff due to illness and also shortage of groceries. It being Easter and Passover at the same time too doesn't help. They also need extra time to clean the store daily. But I totally understand your frustration.
Nicole you can leave your cart full and go back to check out later. Then when there is available pick up or delivery slots you are ready to go. You can edit your cart up to 10 ish hours before delivery.
I just want you to know how much your videos mean to me during our self-isolation. You guys are my RUclips family, which is wonderful since I live in Washington State, and my family lives on the other side of America. You are such a good family, raising caring, God loving children. I’m looking forward to the next video!
Hello Somers Family! Whatever is going on in the world, you guys remain yourselves. So reassuring to watch your family. You're not afraid to share your faith, your kindness, always looking for ways to help others. The kids are growing up too fast, but what a joy it is to watch them become who they were meant to be. Stay healthy & safe. 😘😘😘😘😘
Tip for elastic ... you can order shock cord which is essentially a bungee cord in 1/8" width. It is encased in fabric and it is very similar to a hair tie. You can get a hundred yards of the stuff for under $30.
I use Instacart here in a Wyoming all the time. I can order from work and select a delivery time that shows up right as I’m getting home. And the notices are awesome!!
I just used Instacart for the first time this past Sunday. We have BJ’s Wholesale, and I did the same thing you did to get some bulk items. However, BJ’s was offering free delivery with $35 purchase, and the prices were normal (not marked up). I gave a nice tip to our shopper, but otherwise, was very pleased. Our shopper stayed in constant communication during the shop as well, which was so nice! We are blessed to live in a world offering these services at a time like this. Stay well!
i am actually an instacart shopper. and we wish we could could get every order right but we try our best! this covid-19 shut down my catering business so i have to make money anyway i can for my two kids! thank you so much for using instacart!
I made 2 different types and I'm loving the one that goes around your nose without the nose peice. I found a pattern online and it's so much easier than pleating them as well. Yours look great!
I've started making masks but I thought you'd get a kick out of Ellie, a 99 year old woman at one of our local care centers that is busy sewing cloth masks for all the staff and the other residents! Go Ellie!
My 15 yr old daughter has made 1 mask so far as our sewing machine is down right now,she sewed that one by hand,which took her awhile,hopefully we will be able to get sewing machine up and running soon,hope you have a great day
I am using Instacart shopping for about year now, and just love it. Most of stores I use Instacart for are the same price as in store since. But Costco, and Sam’s Club are jus little bit more. Thanks for vloging it really helps makes me smile and be happy and get mind out of what going for even for little bit.
Yay! Thank you all for another video! Costco + delivery sounds like a match made in heaven! I hope it’s a good deal for you all. I hope the mask making is going well for you! I’m working on them too and I’m glad I can make them for family and friends and help them through this time. Thanks for bringing happiness into my day with more videos 😊
Hi! I love to see what is happening with you and your family! I have not made a mask but my mom has. She is immunocompromised, so if I want to be near her I need to wear a mask. She actually used and old sheet for the elastic.
Instead of pipe cleaners I ended up using gardening wire. It worked perfectly! Floral wire works as well but my husband prefers the gardening wire because he says he can get a stronger hold on his nose with it.
I am a journalist and I was talking to a nurse from our regional health department today and mentioned that elastic for masks is in short supply. She suggested buying bungee cords and using the elastic in them. She said they contain a lot of elastic. Hope that helps!
Some have been using twist tie. You can buy it by the spool and use that. Double it for strength, leaving a slot (like you did for the add a filter) so you can replace if necessary. I can email you pics if you would like. Stay healthy and happy!
Here in the UK all supermarkets (grocery stores) do home delivery, just go on their website place your order decide when you want it delivered and on that date it is delivered to your door.
You’re so fortunate to still have the service. Here in New Jersey we haven’t had Instacart in weeks. I was able to make one appointment for Costco mid March with the delivery two weeks later, but that was even cancelled. We were hit pretty hard. Praying for all that were impacted.
First of all, Evelyn has a great voice, you can tell already! Such a talented little girl. Second of all I totally live off Fred Meyer instacart delivery at this point. I don't know what I'd do without it. Thank God it's available in my area.
Love your video! I had a good day today. Our local greenhouse had 16,000 (yes,really) Easter Lilly plants that they GAVE away to the public today. No churches or banquets open this year and so they were stuck with plants. I went and got three plants. Gave one to my friend who is laid off from her job and depressed. Gave a plant to my pastor at her home. Gave the last plant to my daughter and her family. ( I haven’t seen her in person in five weeks!). ❤️. Feeling blessed.
Okay, the last video with Bert's haircutting clips was absolutely HILARIOUS!!! We've probably watched that clip at least 5 times, belly roll laughing and all!! Thank you Somer's for the much needed laughs!!!
My sister, in Washington state, made my family some masks and I'm so thankful for her. I'm so glad to hear that you guys are doing well and finding ways to keep sane😁. It's become stricter here on our island but I am also looking at the bright side of things. Love your mask making. Love and prayers from the island of Guam 🌴
Pleased to see 'things' going better for you. Its also getting better in SoCal even though masks are starting to be manditory; I saw people refused entry into a grocery store because of no mask. This weekend is dominated by Easter. Please have a very nice Easter Weekend!
I found a video that you can put flower wire in the nose area. Its thin and easy to work with. Just make sure you wrap the end a few times so it doesn't poke you.
I’ve been waiting for another of your vlogs. I’ve been struggling a lot this past week and I usually feel better after I’ve watched your vlog. I hoped I’d feel better after watching but the struggle is real. I started making masks today. I’m using the Olson pattern. It’s a pretty quick sew. Thanks for sharing your day and I’ll look forward to another video. Happy Easter and God Bless!
Love it! Wish I knew how to get those mask making kits here in GA to help out! Just found your channel a couple months ago and I'm a Happy People happily subscribed! Thank you for your genuine spirits and examples of parenting, it's made me a better single Mama! Please keep it coming, God Bless!
I like how you showed how to sew masks. Filter pocket is a great idea. My daughter is a nurse, she had a mask made for me. We are asked to wear them here in Pennsylvania. Stay safe guys love your videos!
Hey guys our Costco here in Washington State has a senior time from 8 to 9 on Tuesday Wednesday and Thursday of each week for seniors only. I am going to try it on Tuesday as I get my prescriptions through Costco let you know how it works out thanks for the videos.
We do Instacart for the last two winters. It's kind of brutal in Chicago in winter. We have a club membership. 100 bucks a year. Free delivery over 35 dollars. I love it. Every two weeks we have our groceries delivered.
I love Instacart. Generally I try not to have to do my big stock ups through Instacart but it’s great for those busy weeks. My hubby told me to go ahead and order for this week so I don’t have to go out. It’s a big help for homeschooling mamas!
I would love to know that everyone is wearing mask ,especially when they’re out in public. It’s not so much about us ,it’s about spreading virus to others. Yes I’m making mask as well. Love all your videos!
I have made some masks and sent to family that lives in other states. Your right no elastic to be found. Thanks for sharing the tie mask with us. I will be making some more masks. God bless and stay safe .
When everything is falling apart in the world, the smile on all your faces is telling us "it is fine...everything will get better and we all will live a normal life again😃😃" Thank you 😁😁 Hi from Singapore😃😃😃
Enjoyed watching you guys interact with my other favorite vlogging family. Loved it!! Working in a nursing home we had some cloth mask donated to our entire staff. We love those who can sew. 😀 Love y'all from South Alabama where the weather is warm and the beaches are closed. 😎😉😊😍
I think we make the same counter spray! Mine is rubbing alcohol, Mr clean and lil bit of dish soap and water in the same squirt bottle too! I use more alcohol lately!
My daughter and I used our left over fabric to make masks. Mailed some to friends and family. Our pocket loads from the top for the filters. Had to make ties cause like you said elastic is hard to find.
I too have been making masks. I haven’t been able to make any for the hospital. I’ve been making for family and friends. Some are still working. My sister is a CNA and goes to many people’s homes, so I wanted to make sure that she has quite a few. I am using a 18 gauge wire because the pipe cleaners moved around too much. I make a pocket or casing to slide it in so that it stays in place. On the wire you would need to use needle nose pliers and curl the end of the wires back on itself so they aren’t pointy. Otherwise they can puncture through the material. I find the more that I make, I learn different ways to make them better.
😊 We don't have a Costco here in upstate NY. We have a Super Walmart. I ordered my groceries by instacart, I pick it up on Tuesday! They have it all ready when you go pick it up. You don't have to go into the store!
I've been really looking forward to and enjoying your RUclips channel it has been uplifting and encouraging during this time that we are going through I have made about 7 or 8 masks for my family and I made one for an elderly client that I have thank you Sommers for your time and effort that you put in for your sweet videos💕
I live in Oregon and I use Instacart all the time, in fact I am waiting for a delivery now.. Mine is from Safeway. We have Safeway, Target, Costco, and Fred Meyers that all use Instacart... It is great!
Usually your first instacart order is free. If you do it directly through instacart it’s more expensive, but if you go to costco and do you list then choose instacart, it’s the same prices as the store.
I enjoy using instacart the fees are doable if on a small budget, still do Walmart delivery also, and paid 12.95 for unlimited delivery, which is not the normal way I shop but during the stay at home orders in missouri and stores having low supplies it works for us right now.
@@eicrawford3993 pardon??? as a career it's employers do not provide masks?? Well that is going to be interesting if anyone gets sick when this virus has settled down I would not want to be that county council in the USA and your ability to sue - There would be a human outcry in New Zealand and our Government would step in and make sure the protective gear was available
Justine Hietkamp is there any way I might be able to get some, I live in NB, Canada or can you provide the information is where u got the pipe cleaners from.
Here there is such a shortage of the medical masks that Mose carers in nursing homes or other staff in nursing homes are required to use ONE paper mask for the entire 12 hour day-meaning taking it on and off and slipping it into a paper bag during breaks for eating, drinking etc. And NO matter how soaked in sweat or anything else they get! In “normal, BC (before Covid) times you would be supplied a fresh clean mask after any break or if needed due to excessive heavy work etc. This mask shortage is very real and putting a lot of people at risk!!
I've been using Instacart since October and I love it! I do tip quite a bit extra, but I only ever shop from Aldi, so my prices are lower than if I went to a local grocery store and ended up adding unnecessary items to my cart.
Thanks for uplifting my spirit ,always providing great advice ,i look out for your grocery hauls i too have a family of five two girls who are older than our son. we're here in Jamaica in quarantine too.
It’s back up in California at the time like this. Yes, it is a mark up for sure and it is expensive for sure but there a monthly fee that will paid itself if we order more often. Nothing compares to shopping in store.
JESLessica, killee(punn not intended) to add s filter pocket. HEPA vacuum bag cut to rectangles or even a pm 2.5 filter. Note: the higher in filtration the wuicker mask fatigue will set in.
In uk it’s same priced goods plus variable delivery charge depending time I often only spend £2 usually and if what they is substituted with more expensive item you don’t pay difference if cheaper or returned your account debited so think ours pretty good
I have tried to use instacart a few times since our shelter in place order started. It hasn't been the best experience for us, only about half the items arrived so we ended up having to go to the stores anyway. Our stores are only just now starting to get back to normal though. My husband went to the grocery store today and there weren't limits on anything!
Omg, I laughed so hard when you were wiping down the razors..."Shedding the winter coat!" LOL!!!
Thank you so much for the FaceTime, we had a blast!!!😊 It's so encouraging to see your godly example in leading your family to honor God in everything you do!! 🙏 Lord willing, we will meet in person someday! 🥰
We so enjoyed talking with you all!! Hope we can meet someday too! Thank you for being such an encouragement to our family 🥰

@@SomersInAlaska what is it like living in Alaska?
I did a huge Costco delivery order a few weeks before things started getting too bad. Yes it was a little more expensive but totally worth it. I was exhausted and going through radiation treatment so I couldn’t have done that shopping myself even if I wanted too. I was so thankful for that service! I did it early enough that I was still able to get toilet paper, huge jug of hand sanitizer, Lysol wipes etc.
safety is always more important than saving a few bucks.
Wow where do you live? Can’t get these things here

Nice masks, but I suggest that you also insert the wire at the nose area. Happy Easter to you all from Slovenia EU ✿✿✿
Thanks so much! I just placed my first order with Instacart/Costco. I have severe asthma and other autoimmune diseases. I appreciate the tip. ❤️❤️❤️
There are small wires in bread ties if you can find a pipe cleaner. Some people keep them off the bread but if you had a couple it might work.
I love Instacart. Generally I try not to have to do my big stock ups through Instacart but it’s great for those busy weeks. My hubby told me to go ahead and order for this week so I don’t have to go out. It’s a big help for homeschooling mamas!
I would love to know that everyone is wearing mask ,especially when they’re out in public. It’s not so much about us ,it’s about spreading virus to others. Yes I’m making mask as well. Love all your videos!
Yes! My mask protects you, your mask protects me. Lets protect eachother.
I have made some masks and sent to family that lives in other states. Your right no elastic to be found. Thanks for sharing the tie mask with us. I will be making some more masks. God bless and stay safe

When everything is falling apart in the world, the smile on all your faces is telling us "it is fine...everything will get better and we all will live a normal life again😃😃" Thank you 😁😁 Hi from Singapore😃😃😃
The 1 weekly tube me and the hubby watch. Love watching you guys
I love your posts love watching what's going on in Alaska
Not all the stores that use instacart mark up prices, kroger uses instacart its 9.99 delivery fee and doesn't mark up the prices.
Enjoyed watching you guys interact with my other favorite vlogging family. Loved it!! Working in a nursing home we had some cloth mask donated to our entire staff. We love those who can sew. 😀
Love y'all from South Alabama where the weather is warm and the beaches are closed. 😎😉😊😍
I think we make the same counter spray! Mine is rubbing alcohol, Mr clean and lil bit of dish soap and water in the same squirt bottle too! I use more alcohol lately!
Thank you for making masks!! Lots of love from a NICU nurse in VA❤️
My daughter and I used our left over fabric to make masks. Mailed some to friends and family. Our pocket loads from the top for the filters. Had to make ties cause like you said elastic is hard to find.
Yay! My 2 favorite RUclips families in one video! Love it! 💛🌼🙏🏼😁
I too have been making masks. I haven’t been able to make any for the hospital. I’ve been making for family and friends. Some are still working. My sister is a CNA and goes to many people’s homes, so I wanted to make sure that she has quite a few. I am using a 18 gauge wire because the pipe cleaners moved around too much. I make a pocket or casing to slide it in so that it stays in place. On the wire you would need to use needle nose pliers and curl the end of the wires back on itself so they aren’t pointy. Otherwise they can puncture through the material. I find the more that I make, I learn different ways to make them better.
😊 We don't have a Costco here in upstate NY. We have a Super Walmart. I ordered my groceries by instacart, I pick it up on Tuesday! They have it all ready when you go pick it up. You don't have to go into the store!
I've been really looking forward to and enjoying your RUclips channel it has been uplifting and encouraging during this time that we are going through I have made about 7 or 8 masks for my family and I made one for an elderly client that I have thank you Sommers for your time and effort that you put in for your sweet videos💕
I live in Oregon and I use Instacart all the time, in fact I am waiting for a delivery now.. Mine is from Safeway. We have Safeway, Target, Costco, and Fred Meyers that all use Instacart... It is great!
You eat off the Easter ham for a few days and then freeze the rest. We have a vacuum sealer and just finished off our Christmas ham this past week!
We use instacart all the time for Kroger/Fred Meyer it's great! Sometimes you don't get the best person shopping for you but it's a great service.
Great, I became an Instacart Shopper three weeks ago. Loving it, hope you tipped the shopper very well. We depend upon it.
Usually your first instacart order is free. If you do it directly through instacart it’s more expensive, but if you go to costco and do you list then choose instacart, it’s the same prices as the store.
I enjoy using instacart the fees are doable if on a small budget, still do Walmart delivery also, and paid 12.95 for unlimited delivery, which is not the normal way I shop but during the stay at home orders in missouri and stores having low supplies it works for us right now.
Hey Jessica! I bought a million pipe cleaners I am almost done my masks I can mail you some if you like. Ps I got my hubby addicted to your videos❤️❤️
Are u selling your mask my son works as a carer and the county council don't provide mask
@@eicrawford3993 pardon??? as a career it's employers do not provide masks?? Well that is going to be interesting if anyone gets sick when this virus has settled down I would not want to be that county council in the USA and your ability to sue - There would be a human outcry in New Zealand and our Government would step in and make sure the protective gear was available
Justine Hietkamp is there any way I might be able to get some, I live in NB, Canada or can you provide the information is where u got the pipe cleaners from.
Here there is such a shortage of the medical masks that Mose carers in nursing homes or other staff in nursing homes are required to use ONE paper mask for the entire 12 hour day-meaning taking it on and off and slipping it into a paper bag during breaks for eating, drinking etc. And NO matter how soaked in sweat or anything else they get! In “normal, BC (before Covid) times you would be supplied a fresh clean mask after any break or if needed due to excessive heavy work etc. This mask shortage is very real and putting a lot of people at risk!!
I've been using Instacart since October and I love it! I do tip quite a bit extra, but I only ever shop from Aldi, so my prices are lower than if I went to a local grocery store and ended up adding unnecessary items to my cart.
Jessica I totally feel ya on the winter coat part. I laughed so hard 😁
Thanks for uplifting my spirit ,always providing great advice ,i look out for your grocery hauls i too have a family of five two girls who are older than our son. we're here in Jamaica in quarantine too.
It’s back up in California at the time like this. Yes, it is a mark up for sure and it is expensive for sure but there a monthly fee that will paid itself if we order more often. Nothing compares to shopping in store.
JESLessica, killee(punn not intended) to add s filter pocket. HEPA vacuum bag cut to rectangles or even a pm 2.5 filter. Note: the higher in filtration the wuicker mask fatigue will set in.
In uk it’s same priced goods plus variable delivery charge depending time I often only spend £2 usually and if what they is substituted with more expensive item you don’t pay difference if cheaper or returned your account debited so think ours pretty good
Tried Instacart last week the best!! Don't forget to tip your buyer!
I just used insta cart for Fred Meyer in Anchorage it worked great came within like 2 hours.
Tried instacart last week and yes very expensive. That is a wonderful thing making the masks.
You're family is Awesome.
I agree! Very expensive! Great service and delivery. Will only do it again in an emergency!
I’m glad to see more sunshine
I have tried to use instacart a few times since our shelter in place order started. It hasn't been the best experience for us, only about half the items arrived so we ended up having to go to the stores anyway. Our stores are only just now starting to get back to normal though. My husband went to the grocery store today and there weren't limits on anything!
