I love your blogs because you are real life not only showing all fluff. The world feels weird in some ways for all of us right now and you keep us from getting down by sharing your life. Thank you!
Same. Love her vlogs! ❤️ And that laugh is contagious. Lance and her should start a comedy channel. 😅
Sending a warm hug. I lived in Maine for several years and always felt we were Alaska's cousin in terms of cold and snow. It only reached -40 while I was there. Scary cold. Hang in there!
I really like that you are so upbeat and smile a lot. 😃 at times, that's what we people need. ♡
I follow Hanging with PawPaw. He brushes the pan with a little bacon grease and then just when it’s baked on top to where it’s crispy, he spreads a little more bacon grease on it. Everyone seems to love it!!!!😊😊😊
I love what you said in your opening... it drives me crazy when I post on my social media that Hawaii is in the 60's and we are freezing & here comes people responding about how cold it is where they are and 60 isn't cold. So I appreciate hearing what you said.
I love your clean/dirty magnet for the dishwasher.
Love how you keep every thing real. You do an amazing job with what ever you do. Xxx
We have that too. I’m grateful for hubby being in hvac business. I never go cold or hot. I don’t know how you guys do it. I’m in Prineville ,Oregon. Last week it’s been hectic. We had to move in -2 degrees. Makes me feel good now we are having a heat wave of 38 degree. Please stay warm. We have propane too.
Living in a very cold climate does indeed have its challenges. Engine block heaters, heat tapes,etc. are great friends. I dont let my husband outside if it's below zero as he can't breathe very well as he only has one lung. I do all the snow removal and maintenance in winter. We live in Northern Wisconsin. My dog also only goes out long enough to potty and i put baby socks on his paws to protect him from his paws being injured. He also gets a winter jacket put on him.
Really enjoyed the video. Chili and cornbread looked so good. I really admire you handling that cold. I couldn’t do it.
You are so right! I live in the midwest and it has been 16° here and it's all I can do to go put the chickens up at night. I rake leaves through the fall and put them in the chicken pen and in their roost as it gets cold and that keeps them warm. They hover together and stay warm in the leaves. We also keep corn on hand being that it warms them up. We too had an earthquake two weeks ago. We may get some snow on Saturday. You are an awesome lady and I appreciate your vlogs! Happy Valentines Day To You And Your Family❤
Thank you so much for your wonderful videos on RUclips. I so enjoy learning about Alaska from you. Please give us more videos of your family and life in Alaska. I also enjoy you and your husband getting the giggles when shopping or anything else together. Have a blessed day. ❤
Truly enjoyed this little glimpse into your adventures. Dinner looked great. Sometimes I like to make jasmine rice 🍚 to serve with my chili and cornbread. Very happy that you and Lance have one another to depend on and love, not only in the coldest of winters, but all the time. I feel very blessed to have my husband… even hard times seem infinitely better with him along.
Great vlog Violett. Loved having the music. You seriously don't give yourself credit for how wonderful your vlogs are.
Love watching your blogs. Really enjoy feeling like I am hanging out with you and your family ❤
This was a very cozy video. Loved it! The chili and cornbread just icing on the cake. Gad to see everyone is doing well and aren’t sick along with being so cold out. Take care and love and hugs to all!
Thanks for Sharing Jess, luv how Real you are 🥰🥰🇬🇧🇬🇧
Love the realness. A lot of us can relate. Keep being you!
I just made vegetable soup in the instant pot and Mexican cornbread
Being from Alabama, i can't imagine that cold!! Yes, we are cry babies at 20 or the teens....but it usually is 60 2 days later! God bless yall in those extreme temps. Great video Jessica! ❤😊
I really enjoyed this video❤ Thank you so much for sharing.
Take care of you’ll. Always be prepared.
Hi I'm from Newfoundland .Canada our winters are pretty ruff also we're expecting 60cm snow tonight and 80 to 90 km wind .Stay safe and warm ❤
Sending you hugs from Loganville, Georgia. High yesterday was 65. Going way down to 36 tonight. And you are right! Our homes are built for hot weather. Our ranch home holds the cool air. Praying you come through the cold spell with safety.
Thank you Jessica! I always enjoy seeing your videos! Keep up the good work; You ARE APPRECIATED!
Thank you so much ❤️🥹
Thanks for being real. Stay warm and safe.
Thank you for the 2 cents on getting ready in the morning to feel better and ready for your day even if you stay home. I need to do that for my emotional health. Thanks!!!!!
Brrr. So cold on this day! Stay warm. Keep smiling!
I so appreciate what you said about temps feeling different based on where you are! I moved from a very warm humid climit to a cold/snowy climit but the cold hasn't bothered me at all because like you said, it's so insulated. Back home, our lil ole heat pumps freez up when it gets in the 20s and below and pipes are always a concern- and even when you turn up the heat it still feels cold cause like said, built for cooling. Up here it's the opposite. I'm from a place where it's 100+ and humid half the year but was STRUGGLING here when it was unseanonably in the 80s and 90s last fall because there's little air conditioning and very insulated homes. Like you said, we were melting! Weather is all relative! Places not built for winter can't winter very well and vice versa. I almost never hear people put it that way like you did, perfectly said!
As was the "deal with it" people! tbh, even though I grew up in a hot environment the heat never became more...enjoyable? No matter how used to it I was. Sleeping when it's 100 heat index at night and full humidity never gets funner. Not being able to breathe outside sucks a lot of fun out of summer. Being used to a hard thing definitely doesn't make it easier, like having a chronic condition. I can't imagine growing up in Alaska weather since it's so different but I know how hard the deep freeze, lack of sun etc is on your body, your cars, everything. Winter is a huge struggle! A huge, long, struggle and that's valid.
It's so true in Az we had 31 days of 110' degree weather or higher. Cooled off at night to 90, we know it's coming but not that extreme!
40 below. Brrrrrr. That chili looked bomb. & I learned something new today. I didn't know you could cook with baking soda to take out the acid. I knew you could with sugar so I've been using sugar. & I hate using sugar cuz I'm a diabetic. Thanks for sharing that. Yall stay safe & warm. Wishing yall warmer weather soon.
Oh I hear you sweetheart I live in Wisconsin and when it hits 20 degrees I'm freezing and I'm not leaving and the older I get the worse it is
Letting the faucets drip helps also. I have heat lamps in the well house also that comes on when it's 35 degrees. I couldn't handle temperatures like you guys get and all the snow and wind. Take care of yourselves.
Sending U all hugs and hopefully U all get through this bad weather Ur doing the right thing keeping warm and being together xx
Yikes i cannot imagine how that cold freezing weather is like, because I live in New England near the ocean we seldom go below zero, but our winds blow and it’s hard to stay warm. Blessings to you and your beautiful family 🙏🙏🙏🙏only six more weeks until Spring 👏👏👏👍👍☘️☘️☘️💐💐🥰
You are one of those vologs I wish I could hit the thumbs up button a few hundred times !!! Happy Valentine's day !!!❤
Oh my goodness! You are so kind! ❤️🥹
I really enjoyed this vlog. It was interesting and informative. I agree with your opinions on weather. I live in Indiana, and this winter we had 10 days of single and negative digits. It was tough on everyone. However, we do not think much of 90 degree weather in the summer. We either find a pool, a beach, or we stay inside with AC. I am amazed that at -40+ degrees, Alaskans still do life🥶 Can’t believe schools are still open 😮
Love your vlogs!
I freeze lots of leftovers. It's nice to just grab something quick & easy sometimes. With chili I cook a big pot full, like 2-3lbs hamburger, several cans of beans & tomatoes. I also use Heinz chili sauce & French's chili-o chili powder. What we don't eat in 2 or 3 days I freeze the rest. I love seeing all the stuff you cook, everything always looks delicious. I couldn't imagine the temps you all have had. Here in Ohio we've had very little snow so far(maybe 8 inches total from a few snow falls).
Thank you Jessica for your video ❤ , hope you stay nice and toasty, much happiness to you ❤🎉🎉🎉😊
Thank you for taking along it cold there glad y'all can deal with it.stay warm and the chill look good praying for all.❤😊🙏🙏🙏🙏😍
I do the same with ground beef. I often find it on special marked down as the sell by date is the next day or sometimes real cheap being the same day. If I can't cook it up right away I will put it in a zip bag and write on the bag the day I put it in the freezer so I know it only had a day left or whatever. When I have time I will cook it up and separate for spaghetti sauce, taco meat, chili, sloppy joes or make meatballs if I have a lot. A fun thing my son finds fun is putting a pound to pound and a half in a gallon zip bag. Smash it flat to the size of the bag. Score with a butter knife to make 4 burgers. Yes, they are square. Freeze flat. You can do whatever with them after frozen. On burger night you can break off the patties or even do 2 if it is just the two of us as they break of in perfect squares when frozen. He calls them Wendy's burgers! Yeah, we waist zero meat around here and love getting great deals.
Jessica, I live in Florida and I feel the same way about the middle of summer here. Everyone here says it’s coming and just deal with it but it’s hard! It’s absolutely miserable and really affects our mental health. Plus I have MS and have trouble with heat. So I live indoors a majority of the year. ❤
Love the update. You are doing great despite the weather and so glad you take into account your mental health when you are stuck inside. Hoping the weather turns better for you soon and don't apologise for being real, it's what makes your vlogs special and we love them 🙂
I live in a cold climate in Missouri on a farm in a cabin and we have had a lot of snow and very cold weather in below freezing temperatures things froze and ran out of propane twice due to the cold weather and running heater running by propane and also use space heater to keep warm and i’m. three miles from the main road so bottom line my pets and i were snowed in and isolated from anyone. so i feel for you.
“I’m a Passenger princess” me too Jess to me too 😂😂😂😂 stay warm and safe up there!!
I would be cooking a lot of soups and stews in the cold weather y’all are having . Might even start to make bread !! Your chilie looked great !! Keep warm!! Watch movies, play games work on puzzles!! Glad y’all are ok. Wondered why I haven’t seen you !! ⛄️⛄️⛄️⛄️
Sorry, winter can be brutal 😔 we moved from the southwest to Wl. It can get -30 here. This yr. We have broken records for being extremely warm, oddly...
When I don't have quite enough ground beef for a recipe, I throw in a can of lentils. You can't see them, they take the flavours you put with them, and they stretch the meal while adding protein and fibre. I always have a few cans in the pantry for such occasions!
Listen for those who are snarky enough to say you should be used to it and you know it’s coming…screw them! I live in Oklahoma and we get LOTS of days of over 100 degree weather and yes I should be used to it because I know it’s coming…but I HATE it and it’s miserable and I’m miserable and my poor husband has to listen to me ask “when are we moving to Alaska?” every single day it’s over 85 🤣🤣🤣
LOVE your channel and how real you always are!!! 💙💙💙
Did not know that about the baking soda for chilli. I knew about sugar in spaghetti sauce helps with cut down acid and gives it a sweet taste.
Eat oatmeal for breakfast ...it helps warm the blood against the freezing cold.
I’ll be thinking of you. Stay warm and safe during this cold spell. Take care❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️🇺🇸
Just because you don't have a website to send us to for a recipe doesn't mean you "don't have your life together" Always happy to see your beautiful smile. Brrrr!
I've never hears the baking soda tip before. I know some people put sugar in for that reason. I usually just put crated carrot in my tomato heavy recipes - it seems to work.
66+ years and I never knew the baking soda trick. Thank you!❤️
Always in need of your positivity and realness ❤
Comments life this are what keep me going on RUclips. Thank you ❤️🥹
Your right -40 or +20 cold is cold. I will say this winter has been so different from the past years here and I'm sure the same for your area besides as for earthquakes (yikes) they are very rare where i live.
As for the chili have you tried adding a big jar of mild salsa ( my family loved the hot salsa) that way i didn't have to by onion, peppers, tomatoes.
Blessings to you and the family.
Like 3 years ago when my family went on vacation to Alaska we went to Juneau, Anchorage, Fairbanks, North Pole,Wasilla,Whittier i believe that it.. Anyway we stood at this place with a HOT SPRING lake on the property the temp was 60* one day we were all freezing but the workers were all walking around in shorts and short sleeve tops.. My daughter took a picture of herself all bundled up and two works in the background dressed as if it were summer..Summer temperatures where i live are like 114* ..60* - 65* is cold for use..
I miss watching you 3 weeks is so long to wait for new video😢😢
Please don't explain about freezing your meats and what you cook for your FAMILY! You rock! I think you are awesome! Love your videos. You are such a good mother. Thanks for letting us in your life❤ love you guys ❤
Burr…🥶 Layer up!!! Keep warm! Wool socks for sure! Keep your stove going …bake something! 🙏🏻🇺🇸

Good morning Violett happy Wednesday and I just wanted to say that your vlogs is amazing and you are amazing Supporter
I always enjoy your videos no matter what you always have a smile. Love your meals. God bless ❤.
Hi.. I live in New Hampshire.. it’s cold here, for us, especially with the wind! I do the same thing with my ground beef, I cook a pound and freeze half.. since it’s just my husband and I.. it works for us..
I was thinking the same as Lance about your car. It was so cold that it needed to run awhile. I had never felt an earthquake here in NC mountains until a couple years ago. It shook the whole back of our house. Caused new trim to pull down a little and broke kitchen floor tiles loose. It was so scary. You know things can happen but when it does it's so scary because if you're like me you think of your kids and then family first thing. Take care and stay safe. 🙏💙🙏
I give myself a break some days. It’s ok NOT to be ok😉❤️
Good tip on the baking soda in the chili. Question, do you use the baking soda in tomato sauce as well? I generally put 1/2 & 1/2, and a little raw sugar in my tomato sauce. I wonder if baking soda would work. I foodsave as well, and there are days I'm lazy and don't want to pull out my food saving machine. I will take a freezer bag, put the ground beef in the bag, flatten ground beef in the baggie with my hands or a rolling pin, making sure the air is out of bag, and seal by hand. This allows me to store more in food in the freezer. I can stack all kinds of flat bags in on top of one another. It also makes it easier to remove the meat from the bag, and it thaws faster.
We have to crawl under the house and plug in the heat tape for winter for our well. Hubby noticed he's going to have to replace it before next winter.....I refuse to get under the house (you have to belly crawl....we have an old farmhouse). I hope your heat tape works, and you don't have to replace it any time soon.
I hear you on brushing your teeth, washing up, getting dressed to get your day started. I push myself to do this to feel better, and to be there for my family. I know you do the same!!!
Chili looked delicious! Now I’m hungry lol. Stay warm.
Love your videos ❤ And I'm going to try baking soda for my heartburn too 🙃 Stay safe ❤
Coming from the Southern Hemisphere I couldnt imagine how cold it is by you. Like you said you are equipped in your homes for cold weather but when you go out you dont seem to be dressed warm enough? Come to NZ where we are having a heatwave lol hate it but would rather be here than in Alaska right now. Love your vlogs!!!
I will buy one of Costco's big packages of ground beef and then fry it all up. I package it in pint canning jars and keep it in my chest freezer! It's so nice to have one step taken care of on busy nights. By the way I LOVE your can opener, what kind is it?
Heat tape? Never heard of it. Being from NY now residing in FL, our NY homes were made to keep in heat but we never got cold like AK for a long period of time plus houses were built not to be kept cool on its own in the summer unless you had AC. In Fl, AC most of the time but the last month been nice so we have windows open letting in pollen.😮 50 degrees people have jackets, hoodies, ect. Not for us. I’m like your brother, t shirt no matter the weather. We had an earthquake here last week that we felt. Was off into the ocean. Plus we had sonic boom. We had earthquakes in NY but not major. Thanks for explaining what needs to be heated in a vehicle that cold. Are new vehicles sold in AK ready for winter weather there? I don’t like that about Dodge the two time only auto start. This was a great video. Thanks for sharing.
Oklahoma had a 5.1 earthquake on February 2nd. People are surprised that OK has a lot of earthquakes but ours are not natural. The earthquakes here are due to fracking caused by drilling for fossil fuels. I agree Jessica they are very scary! I’ll take a tornado over earthquakes and hurricanes any day. I guess it’s what is familiar so it’s not as frightening.
I didn’t realize you have to go get your heating fuel oil. Here is Indiana it is delivered to the house. Hope you are all safe through the cold.
It's Summer here. This past Monday & Tuesday were 38C but today Wednesday was 18C . Crazy weather.
We insulate down here too because insulation helps to keep the heat out.
Ohhh ......Violet. l know a baby girl named Violet too!
First time viewer! However am a fan of Violets mom too!
God bless everyone
As someone who lives in the Mediterranean region, I watch videos like this during the summer to cool myself a little bit when temperatures exceed 45°C for a long period of times 😂
I was just thinking chili may be good for dinner tomorrow night. We had country pork ribs and cornbread corn casserole tonight and it was delicious. Happy ❤day tomorrow. 😊
You are so wonderful. Thanks😅 for sharing
I’m in Ontario 🇨🇦 and we used to get extremely cold weather. These days it’s just weirdly warm
Wow 110 degrees colder outside than inside your house!

I was so hoping you'd do a time-lapse of your thermometer after you put it out side and you did!! Made my day.😊 Sometimes its the little things. Lol
Your videos are always a brightspot in my day, wish I could do the same for you, sweet lady. 🌞
