I'm so happy for you in the new position! I have been an RN for nearly 24yrs and an NP for 12 of that. I have been considering a change of pace lately. You inspire me to look into other areas of nursing.
Thanks for sharing ! You bless me just by telling how things come full circle for you I am a CNA and due to spine surgery I can know longer do direct care anymore so just hearing your story gives me hope I being praying for a job that my boss trying to create for me it's kind like your new job in a way because I will go out to get admitted to our outpatient service so again thanks you give me hope. Blessing to you and your family.
Great video! So glad your first day went well! I can totally relate in the fact that how you treat people in previous jobs comes back around. I always try to keep work relationships even after I’ve moved on.
Love that you are so up front about deserving to be compensated. I remember you speaking about that a year or so ago. It really shows confidence and knowing your worth. Women need to support each other. I actually get excited to see who sponsors you next. I feel like a part of it, like oh wow look who values Jen and her followers now!
On career changes. I trained as a computer programmer/systems analyst after university. After i had my daughter I retrained as a high school mathematics teacher (ages 11-18), and then moved over to training maths teachers as a university lecturer. All different roles but similar skills, and I loved all my jobs. I took early retirement after working for 30 years as my husband is slightly older snd had retired, and I was ‘jealous’ and we wanted to travel. Obviously not much travelling this year! Good luck with your new job. Judith. UK.
The Aldi low carb tortillas are excellent, amd I tested my blood glucose when I was on Keto after eating them and they had 0 effect! $2.99! They crisp up great in a dry pan too for quesadillas or wraps.
Woohoo on the cookbook submission! About the new job, I’m confused about whether you’ll still be working for the same hospital, just in a different position, or at a different site? (Whether the new job will affect your commute time.)
Congrats Jen! Hope you had a great first day. So exciting to see all of your exciting life updates. I’m loving all of the vlogs, it’s really uplifting with everything going on
I am in the process of moving my office home and while I’m excited I’m also terrified! Move day is the 16th and lease is up the 31st. I have scaled back my business because of age, nerves, AND family situations, but I’ve spent 30+ years doing this and boy, am I scared! Good luck on your new endeavor - I have every confidence in you, given how you manage your vlog!
Everything will work out for you if think only on what you want for yourself and your business. Don't give thought to what you don't want to happen with you or your business! Think Positive!
I love how you said "allegedly" lost her swim cap ! that just cracked me up lol And on the topic of jobs So happy about the new one for you ! I feel like I am FINALLY where i should be, been doing corporate travel for 27 Years! and I now work for St Jude Children's Hospital doing all the travel for the families, its first of all a wonderful organization, and working directly for them as an employee. It is the first place I feel appreciated and our work is so tough on an emotional level , but my Team is awesome and we work together and I know at the end of the day I have some good working and making the lives of these families at least easier when it comes to travel, they don't have to worry. I think all my years of putting up with SO MUCH BS in the travel industry prepared me for now. I finally found my end game , I dont have to look anymore!
Congratulations again on your new job! It's great that your kids get to go back to in person school! We are out until after Christmas. I hope you have an awesome day!
Jen the egg bites are SO easy for you to make and you can make a bunch at once, pour them in your muffin cups, bake them, then pop them in the freezer in a big bag. Just take out however many you need and microwave them. I make mine by sauteeing some canadian bacon, peppers, onions and mushrooms. Divide that into your muffin tins or silicone muffin cups, top with a little shredded cheese, and bake at 350 until the egg is set. Let cool completely, then pop them in a freezer bag and take them out as you need them. They microwave really well.
You have such a good, positive outlook on everything! One of the reasons I’m addicted to your videos! 😁 Congrats submitting your cookbook draft and your first day at your new job!
Hi Jen, Thank you so much for this Vlogmas video! I am thoroughly enjoying Vlogmas and am looking forward to seeing more from you! I inspire every time I watch your videos. You are so motivating and up-lifting. I am so excited for your brand-new cookbook, I know you've work very hard on it. I hope your new job goes well and all the VERY BEST, xx
Glad you had a great first day at new job! I hear you about writing. I write IPAC policies and procedures manuals for Dental practices and with new protocols I am up to 150 pages for some offices.
Please forgive me if this is a dumb question or if you've already covered this, but why do you have a FlexBrew coffee pot & a Nespresso? What is the difference in the taste between the two? Thank you very much!!!
Congrats on the new job! I'm halfway through my accelerated BSN program - total career change for me and I'm also a mom. I love the inspirational working mom content over here.
See yo did it again, caught me of guard with your timing. Now I have nothing to watch before bed. Thanks for always sharing. Hope your settling into your new job.
And bless you for spending time to train your replacement amd for diving into a new job working from home on the first day! I changed jobs in Sept, and had 2 days of crash training on reading govt documents and defense drawings and bidding on govt solicitations. It was craaaazay! Props to you on the transition lol.
This is funny seeing that pasta! I could not find shells the day I was getting ingredients for the lasagna casserole so I saw a bag of Lumaconi. Never saw them before. The bag I got they were about the same size as medium shells. I thought jeepers they look like snails. Got home and googled lumaconi which is snail. They worked amazing in that casserole. These chiocciole look very much the same maybe just a bit smaller. There is apparently a huge size people stuff. So that was a hoot seeing you buy them, I have actually been meaning to let you know I used them and they worked amazing. I also did not have enough cottage cheese but had a small container of artichoke and asiago dip so put that in to. That casserole was devoured so fast lol. It is a keeper.
Congrats on your new position! What you said is so true and so important regarding professional relationships. Often times, opportunities are a result of WHO you know, in addition to your experience and skill set. Thanks for all of your valuable content. Happy Holidays!
Omg, my son is 15 and asked for the elf last night. It's sweet that they want to hang on to that, especially since most of our other traditions are out the window this year.
OMG I hear ya on the kids loosing gloves CONSTANTLY! I seriously just bought about 15 pairs of the $1 gloves from Target online the other day I'm hoping they last us thru the winter months, but since the kids aren't going out to school everyday with the pandemic going on right now the outlook maybe be better ! Wish me luck ! Always a pleasure watching your videos Jen !!
My God Jen you do more in one day than I do in a month.....holy moley you are amazing! Cookbook, new job, kids taken care of , house chores, you tube, meal plans...OMG. Murphy getting the package was hilarious.......and ......'STRUGGLE BUS" omg dying laughing. Can't believe your Walmart has so much swim stuff....wow.
I feel your pain as a swim mom with the googles. I bought extra goggles and caps at the end of the season from Walmart. Made the switch a month ago from social worker to senior pastor. Congrats on new job!
We all want the Christmas magic. I've got an inflatable Santa who's older than I am and he has a slow leak, but I can't let him go. Every year we inflate him then he deflates and lays by the tree for the rest of the month. So sad. 🤷
So glad to hear the new J.O.B. is going well. I'm sure it will be exciting to eventually be back in an office and to travel. I always enjoy your hauls because even though you're in a small town you seem to buy things I've not heard of. I didn't know those sausage balls were a thing. I pretty much stick to KETO or low carb. We have a grocery store here called HEB which started in Kerrville, TX in 1905 and is the best, IMO. They were not always my favorite but times have changed and their attention to customer needs is leaps and bounds above any grocery retailer around (again, IMO). So...anytime I see items through THRIVE I always check HEB first and a high percentage of the time they have the items at a remarkably lower price. Also, I wanted to ask if you've tried RAO's new SOUPs? I hope your kiddos are enjoying swim! I'm really enjoying your VLOGMAS! Take Care Jen! ~0-0~ Pam
Congratulations on your new job!!! Are still with the same hospital? I haven’t been watching RUclips due to my struggles with migraines/clusters. I hope everyone in your family is healthy and doing very well.
Congrats on your new job!!! My mum used to travel for work a lot. It started when I was about Kiera's age...it made me more independend. Hope it all will work out for you. You are a Rockstar!!! I love Vlogmas!
PS - The Rao sauce is the best but I saw in your vlogmas video last week they had soups. I got the italian wedding soup which is my fave kind of soup. The soup was good but the meatballs were so mushy. Like a crouton left in a cup of water. 😝It was a huge bummer. I also got minestrone and I’m hoping it isn’t gross too. Fingers crossed! 🤞🏻
Congratulations Jen! Thanks for this video, Jen. I needed this reminder, about my job. I'm a teacher in a specialized position, and i feel taken advantage of, bc im such a hard worker. I think i need to change my mindset a bit...thanks for this reminder. ❤
Thank you so much for all the hard work you put into your channel. I really appreciate it. I look forward to your videos every day. And the sweater you were wearing today is absolutely beautiful with your coloring😀
Thank you so much for watching! I am enjoying Vlogmas and appreciate you being here! 🎄

New Job, submitting the manuscript & vlogmas! You are amazing! You inspire me! Doing research on grad programs right now in part because of you!
“Please stay on task.” 😂😂😂
I’m a teacher and you have NO IDEA how many times I say this a day. Love it 🤣
former high school teacher here and, same! lol
Former teacher here as well.... I want a nickle for every time I've said it lol
As a child whose parents had to sign a report card, ALWAYS having the comment “talks in class”, I can relate on the flip side. 😆🤷🏻♀️
Great video! So glad your first day went well! I can totally relate in the fact that how you treat people in previous jobs comes back around. I always try to keep work relationships even after I’ve moved on.

Congratulations on everything Jennifer. Cheers to you my friend. Xo
Starting a new job the first of the year! These videos are keeping me positive about the new change!
I'm jealous at how light it is there at 5pm!

Jen, this video had so many great one liners!!
Connor over hearing you in the laundry room was a laugh-out-loud moment for me!!! 🤌
The Aldi low carb tortillas are excellent, amd I tested my blood glucose when I was on Keto after eating them and they had 0 effect! $2.99! They crisp up great in a dry pan too for quesadillas or wraps.
Congratulations on the new job girl... I know you'll rock it!!
Woohoo on the cookbook submission!
About the new job, I’m confused about whether you’ll still be working for the same hospital, just in a different position, or at a different site? (Whether the new job will affect your commute time.)

Omg how stressful!
@@Jen-Chapin Hahaha I literally had to calm myself every hour with deep breaths and say "I'm ok. I'm just gonna roll with it" to my coworkers LOL 🤣
Congrats on Starting your new position. I was wondering when that would be. I wish for the best in this new opportunity.
Great video Jen and good luck on that new job! Great grocery haul as well!

Nope. He's staying put. Maybe someday we'll find that leak. 🤣🤦
Congrats on new job

Hi Jen! Does thrive ship to Canada 🇨🇦 I live in a. Very rural city and I have the same problem as you on finding special Ingredients
I was thinking about starting a RUclips channel myself. I would love to have a mentor or people who can help me. How do I find those people?
LOL! "What did you say Mom???" Ahh...parenting. It's not for the faint of heart! You're doing great!
Ha ha old people cookies! I agree with you- I grew up eating those in Germany! They are delicious
Thank you so much for all the hard work you put into your channel. I really appreciate it. I look forward to your videos every day. And the sweater you were wearing today is absolutely beautiful with your coloring😀
