We lost all of our freezer contents, mostly a whole pig because our freezer died and we didn’t notice it for probably 24 hours. We have two upright large freezers. They are in our basement and I hadn’t gone down there in a couple of days. We now have Wi-Fi thermometers that link to our phones and will notify us if the temp starts to drop. I highly recommend. It’s piece of mind for me.
I love how you always compliment Josh on whatever he does. It’s a good habit to get into!
I just threw up in my mouth a little....
I hope there is an episode of moving the chickens, I’ve been really wondering how you’ll do it exactly. I guess it’s nice you didn’t need to do it in a rush.
Probably a dog or cat carrier.
At worst you could just pop an empty tub in the back and a blanket over top so they cant fly out. And strap the tub in with seatbelts. Chickens are pretty hardy so even if stressed out during the car ride theyll be fine.
Yes!
I'd secure a piece of plywood to the top of the truck bed and put them in and take them out through the tailgate. Too many for a pet carrier, it could take multiple trips if they do that.
I was thinking this the other night! I hope so too
When we buy our chickens, they get put in small cardboard boxes. They lay down quietly in the dark. We are going to move them a longer distance and then we are gonna use our dog crate with a blanket over.
The other benefit to having the freezers in the basement is for energy conservation which will reduce the amount of times the compressor kicks on which will in turn extend the life of your freezers.
So true about keeping your freezers and different things in the basement. Here if you don't keep your freezer or extra refrigerators inside your home they are not covered under the warranty. The initial warranty and also I have a warranty through my gas company that covers everything in my house and it is voided if it is kept outside. The only way an item can be outside if it is in a controlled environment heated and air conditioned and then it's still under warranty. I'm so excited to see you get to move and your beautiful new home
plus easy access right
Good point. And the older appliances are built better, that freezer may surprise you.
A great way to remember to turn off the water is have a few colorful elastic wrist bands on your water spigot. When you turn the water on put the wrist band on, when you shut the water off put the wrist band back on the spigot. 🙂
@@jeccalou9894 I realize it's not a perfect method, but if the colors of the bands are very bright and there hanging right on the spigot where you turn the water on it might help. Maybe hang a cute sign by the spigot to remind you of the wrist band. You could also put a tag on the wrist band to remind you what it's for. I know sometimes I will be like, now what was I wearing this band for, labeling things helps you to remember each task.
Brilliant idea! Ill never leave the hose running in the pool again! THANK YOU! :)
Genius!
Fantastic idea !
My husband sets an alexa timer before turning on the water. I told him about the wrist band idea. Before alexa we had many a water trough overflow! Not good for the well!
Wow Becky you hired the most amazing movers ever. I would promote them every chance you get, I have never heard of anyone resetting your furniture up or offering to take stuff to the dump. That’s incredible service, kudos to them. So happy for you and Josh, now the best part of moving is setting up your new house.
When you get a generator, please, please consider a whole house generator! You’re having a new baby, your freezers etc will thank you! You can decide how big of one you want and what you want to run. We have 3000sf and ours runs everything except the washer/dryer. Ours runs on a 500gal propane tank however if natural gas is available you can have it hooked up to that. Ours will run for 14 days on our propane. We do have it checked and maintenance 4X a year for $50 each visit.
Yes, it is also nice not having to keep gas on property for generator. Gas runs out in a emergency, propane last for days. It is about 5,000. I don't know what new house loan you have, maybe you can add it on?
This 👆🏻We moved to an area with lots of trees and high winds. Often trees and limbs disrupt our electrical service. Our generator runs on propane which we already had for the fireplaces and the stove. Well worth every penny.
@@denisejones1863 I decided to go the solar generator route because you never really run out of sun unless you live in Alaska lol and I’m scared of gas and propane fumes as well as storage I think I’ll get a propane/gas generator eventually though
Thanks for the info, we are looking into a generator. This is very helpful
We had a whole house unit put in 2 years ago and it is nice. I am in the Cincinnati Ohio area so our summers are hot and winters are cold . We have had a lot of rain this summer and lost electricity a lot. The entire house comes back on immediately and the ac comes on 5 seconds later. The cost is really minimal. Outs runs on natural gas, but we can switch it over to propane if we need to. We did have a 500 gal propane tank put underground in the back yard. The propane and tank cost more than the generator.
Not gonna lie, I wish each of your videos were like 2 hours long since I just enjoy watching you so much! So glad everything went smoothly and can’t wait to see everything unpacked and set up.
She's very motivating.
do you do anything else? or do you have too much stuff to???... you Americans are incredible with so so much excess its distressing to me...
My son has a whole house generator connected to his home and loves it. When the power goes out, it comes on and powers the entire house. Highly recommend!
I also have a whole house generator. I love it! I would suggest if you are looking for one to check on a cummins generator. I know you are very tired but remember you are really on your last 25% of needing to get done right away. After that it will be easier on you because your "Has Too List" will be controllable. You both have got this! Great work!
We are bldg and will have a whole house generator also
Propane powers those who house generators and they want to eliminate fossil fuels. Won't be very useful in the future. Propane has already quadrupled in price.
@@praiseyethelord7121 Any particuar reason why you like the Cummins?
@@pinschrunner very true. My son's runs on natural gas, but I don't think it's much better.
Put temp alarms on your freezers. My freezer still had the green light on even though the contents thawed.
Our freezer did the same thing. Luckily I had been in and out of it and noticed it was thawing and had time and another almost empty freezer to save everything. Freezer alarms are well worth the investment.
They're pretty cheap and well worth it.
"I put myself in a little time out." That was great! Words to live by.
Honestly, it was a relief to see you have an "I'm done" moment. It's always felt like you were superhuman in your ability to do these big harvests and preserves or cook days, standing or working all day in hot conditions like it was no big deal. Seeing that you need to take breaks too makes what you do feel a little bit more possible for people like me!
The older freezers can be bulky these days but the new ones don't last like them.IF its not on the verge dying I would keep it.Yet its your home and you do YOU!
I have an old stand up freezer, the kind you have to defrost yourself (blah) BUT..it keeps on running...my co worker got a new freezer 3 years ago that conked out last week...and we were heading back into high heat. Told her to get an old one off craigs list just so she could store her stuff...she was like what? Really? Got an old stand up that night off craigslist, just like mine that needed the door latch repaired, for 50 bucks! Duct taped shut until the latch can be fixed but her full load of freezer items were saved..
@@topherjoe1 They are a pain to clean( ice) but that keeps you from keeping all that freezer burn stuff.lol
Good morning Becky, hope you are feeling well. Eat Becky Eat we don’t want you to not be your sweet self. Love your sweet parents. Look at those smiling faces. I hope your niece is better. So glad y’all rested . Yay the puppies are coming home. Take care. Sending much love, hugs, and prayers.
Forgetting the water is why I always set a timer.
Always take care of health first. Boxes,dusting and furniture placement can be done gradually.
Glad your mom and dad could help out.
Be sure to compare generators. We live in hurricane prone Louisiana, and hubby used to work for a propane company. During one of our storms, alot of people had problems with their Generac generators. Apparently, they aren't made for days of running. You may not need 3 or 4 days of power, tho. If you do, look into generators with a Cummings motor.
Yes always look for a good generator
@@cynthiafisher9907 Yea. Dumb auto correct.
@@tashainjena Thank you for that great information on the generators !!!!
Agree! We have a Generac and lost power end of April due to a huge blizzard, wouldn't work and only had it for a few years. No one to work on it so spent a long 12 days with no power! We have a Cummins on order to replace our Generac.
Looks like everything is going well. I wouldn't get rid of that mower with the little trailer. Take the mowing deck off and use the set mower/trailer around the house for gardening. 🤗💕
Great idea! I've missed mine and am getting it back in use next week!!
Too late for that advice lol
“I’m just putting myself in a little time out over here” 🤣🤣🤣 you are too cute. We have moved 11 times in 25 years. I hear ya!
We moved two deep freezers full of meat lol it’s definitely doable. They used those appliances dollies
I keep a notebook with my freezer inventory.
Also my pantry shelves, then when I menu plan I use the notebook 🙂
That is a fantastic idea!! I am going to do that.
I have wanted to do that for years! Instead I go through every week and write down a few things that I need/want to use from the fridge, freezer, and pantry then meal plan off that list.
Hi if I had a new house with a basement like that I would put another kitchen in and make it my canning room that’s what it’s my suggestion have a good day
for your deep freezers, you can get magnetic dry erase boards from amazon. and write what is in each one in wet erase marker, the amount you have (#), and the date added. That way you can see what you have at a glance, how old everything is, and how much of each thing you have.
OR you can get butcher paper and some heavy duty magnets, and put a big piece of paper on the top of the freezers. Cross things off as you use them up and then replace it gets filled up instead of erasing them.
Both good ideas! 👍🏼🤩 I’ve been trying to keep inventory on my phone but of course never seem to have my phone on me when I need to make an update.
You should give a big shout out to your movers so other people will use them. I've never had a moving company offer to do or do as much as they have! 👏👏👏👏
Hi Becky- take your cinder blocks- sooo many uses!!
I thought the same thing when she said they had no use for them! Hope they end up going.
Maybe you can give her some ideas for uses.
Great video.
My suggestion for better organization in those deep freezers is to use same colored bags for same kind of meat. One color for chicken pieces, one color for pork etc. Also, would be good idea to have everything printed and attached to freezer. In this case if you take something out your just cross it, and if you put anything in you just add it. Also, dates when it's done. This will help you know how rotation is doing and help to maximize your inventory. Abd please don't pull or push stuff that is heavy, being pregnant please avoid giving to much unnecessary pressure on your tummy and back.
Years ago, the lady down the street used pillow cases she closed with a draw string inserted in the hem and also zippered cushion covers.
What brand/kind of bags do you use? I really need to organize my little tiny chest freezer and make it easier to get stuff out!
I’m glad I’m not the only one who was concerned watching you do all the lifting
of the frozen food bags .🧡🤎🧡
Watching this reminded me of when we moved into our current house five years ago. I was 37 weeks pregnant with a 4 and 2 year old. It rained the whole day and the movers left two boxes of my books out in it. I’m glad you had a better day than I did 😊 and congrats on the new house!
Well done you two. Moving home can be so stressful and tiring. Everything will get sorted eventually so take the days off when you need them. Nothing is going to disappear. :)
Rest while.dont overdo it becky.
Také care of yourself and that baby.
Rest while you can.i know moving is a job.
I live in texas .it is hot here.
Oh yeah, you always need to board pets, imo, during a move. Unless it’s like, one cat that you can close into a room that isn’t going to be opened. Besides the confusion for them, bother, and escape potential, they’re a huge trip/fall hazard.
The freezers look good there. Personally I’d have just run an extension cord and put them where I wanted, lol, I’m stubborn. Your little basement grocery store is coming along nicely! You’re going to love being able to walk in from the garden with produce and be able to process and store it all right there. I’m guessing it’ll turn into your “studio.” Then you can walk upstairs, close the door, and be home from work. :)
Lol I've done the extension cord method many times, since mostly I've lived in apartments and there's never a GOOD place for a freezer. I had one freezer fall over the years, but it was not on an extension cord at the time. It was old and had "issues". 😂
Moving can be stressful, but you handle things quite positively!
I love how you put yourself in time-out !
You’re so patient and kind with your words. That’s all I’m going to say 😬
Hey Becky, I'm very forgetful. One thing I do to remember things like turning off the water is, I transfer my wedding ring to my right hand when I turn the water on. It is very annoying, so every couple minutes I'm reminded to think about it. I can't wait till the time is up and I can shut off the water and put that ring back where it's comfortable!
Ok so I totally have to do this…. Get food from freezers and can them! Still have 2 pressure canners and have yet to pressure can! Gotta get over my fear 😧. ❤️ y’all, Kristy again 🤣
You are so cute! “I’m putting myself in a little timeout!” 🤣🤣🤣 ♥️
Glad to see you relaxed on patio for awhile, moving is overwhelming.
When I get super overwhelmed and hangry I always take time out to myself because I detest my grumpiness at those times for sure. I can only imagine being pregnant and feeling that way. Thankfully those days are behind me though. I think you are wise beyond your years hun=) and very blessed.
Super excited everything is nearly moved and finished well except for your garden harvest. I know it must be a great relief to have the majority finished. Moving is some serious work for sure. I hope the new home is forever blessed and prosperous for you, your husband, and your little one on the way. The pups must be so excited and happy you are all there together now too =) Hug.
Having the dogs at the sitter while you where moving was good. Made things less stressful for the dogs as well.
Hey, Becky congrats on the move!! I know you were worried about the pressure gauge on your canners during the move. Since you are supposed to get the gauge checked annually to see that they are calibrated correctly, your local extension office should offer free testing. This way, you are double sure the move hasn't affected your pressure canner gauges, and you have done the testing for the year.
I have a question that I hope someone can help me with regarding the pressure gauge. I have the gauge and the weight (jiggler). Since the weight won't jiggle if it's not up to the proper pounds do I still need to get gauge calibrated?
@@cathyl4622 No need to have gauge checked.
@@suesmargiassi4195 Thank you
In regard to old lawnmower I would keep it to do small mowing areas, Josh will not always be able to mow with tractor. It is also nice to have that little cart to move around mulch etc. You should not be getting rid of stuff until you have lived in new house and see how things go.
They sold it tho
I am always just amazed at how much food Americans store. Your pantry, fridge and freezers would probably have fed my family of 5 for 6 months when I was growing up! This is the case of a lot of US RUclipsrs that I follow...
I do fully relate to being pregnant and hangry though. I always joke that if I don't eat for an hour my little one thinks it's a famine and has a teeny baby panic attack, which makes me nauseous and light-headed! You do a LOT and deserve every bit of rest you can get 😉
I get the same way when I’m hungry. I don’t care what I’m eating. In my head I’m thinking stop asking me what I want to eat and just give me food if you know what’s good for you .😂
Loving the new house 💖 dont take on too much Becky!!
Yay! Now the fun begins. Welcome Home, Becky and Josh and puppers!😄
Becky!!!! We got to see your baby bump ❤️❤️❤️. You are so beautiful especially when expecting! ❤️ y’all, Kristy in Missouri zone 6b 😃🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
When my daughter and husband moved into their new home, I went to the new house, and cleaned all cabinets, drawers, shelves... while they were loading to move stuff. So when they arrived with the boxes of items, everything was clean and ready do unpack and organize. HUGE time saver...
Whoo Hoo! How exciting that you're moved in! So glad you've gotten rid of the big black wall. And I'm glad to hear that you and Josh knew to stop when you were done in. Take care of yourselves, you two!
Becky, bless your heart….I take a time out once in a while too…so smart and keeps you and baby calm.
One level house with a basement. The only way too go!
You’re so smart - taking your time out. Watching hay being baled is so soothing!
I live in Canada and I have a Generac generator and believe me , it has saved us many times. We were 6 days without power just last month after a storm and I would not do without. Our winters can be very cold and we do not to risk no power with little babies in the house. Also anyone on a well gets no water and no sump pump. They are worth the price tag.
Hi Louise I live in Canada as well and have been seeing commercials for the Generac generator. Good to hear your recommendation. Thanks
@@heatherinparis You will not regret getting this generator. Everything is automatic: it comes on when the power goes out and shuts off when it comes back on. I love it.
You are so lucky yours works. We put one in a few years ago, quit after two years and couldn't find anyone to work on it. Had a blizzard in April and lost power for 12 days. We have a Cummins on order now to replace it. Many in our area have had their Generac up and quit on them. Was such an upset knowing it was hooked up and suppose to work and didn't...😩 I am wishing you the best as I don't want others going through it, just disappointing knowing the large investment you put in to it.
@@danimoen2456 I have had mine for 10 years and is a 20 kilowatt. No problems whatsoever. I am not qualified to comment on why yours did not work but perhaps the company who installed it did not do it correctly or that the generator was not powerful enough for the necessary demands of the house. Now they no longer sell the 20 kilowatt but have replaced with a 22 kilowatt. There is also a 24 kilowatt: it depends on your needs. However I would recommend getting something to help you out when the power goes out. Thanks for your input.
“I’m feeling a little Cranky & a little Hangry” 😂😂😂 I LOVE your honesty Miss!!! I can absolutely relate.
Yes, one level is the only way to go for me. I lived in a townhouse for a couple of years and the constant climbing of stairs convinced me never again!
I'm glad to see mom and dad in this video, they always seem like such a delight to hang around. I was physically exhausted just from seeing all the movers moving everything 😄😮💨 I'm glad you take the time to have "you" breaks in between it all. Also, "Josh loves vacuums" will probably now get him like 10 new vacuums on the p.o box 😆 Love all your amazing journey, thanks for sharing 💕
The fact that Josh loves vacuums is the cutest thing
I want a husband that is obsessed with vacuums! Love following along. So many exciting things in your future!
I was raised in a ranch style house. I love ranch houses.
Don’t work too hard. Take care of yourself. You are growing a precious baby
It's amazing how much pregnancy changes our energy levels and what we think we can do in a certain amount of time. Your body is working constantly growing that little blessing. My youngest is 9 months old, and everytime I watch one of your videos, I admire how much you still manage to get done while being pregnant. You're doing great! Good job giving yourself some space/time to cool off and breathe a little.
I love that you told your mom that you couldn't make another decision at that time. I get worn out like that and feel like I just can't think.
I love the view of your new back yard. It’s so beautiful and relaxing.
Really like how you organise your fridge freezers. 👍🥰
Thank you for showing us some of Portland! My husband and I lived there from 1979-1987. Our two boys were born there. We both worked in healthcare for Kaiser. We had our first home built in the Parkrose area. We moved back to Northern NY to raise our boys near family. We have visited a few times over the years and we still have life long friends there. It will forever be in my heart. We now live in Missouri! I hope you love your new home!
I don't how you do it all but you manage beautifully.
Looking good.
Don't forget your support system when you inbox, or unpack things too. It can be as simple as someone to just open up boxes then flatten and stack boxes after you've emptied them. Depending upon the person(s) and furniture it can be someone to go from room to room simply re-assmbling furniture from putting in nuts and bolts to simply putting shelves back into units or removing and stacking any protective coverings; for you, this may have already been done by the movers. Opening boxes, removing and stacking contents in the appropriate room, then flattening and stacking the boxes can be a great help. This also quickly points out boxes that ended up in the wrong room; with or without direction, get your helpers to out boxes in the correct room. And, it points out boxes with a mixed or assortment of items belonging to multiple rooms. Depending, your helpers may even stack and nest things then out them on shelves or in cupboards, out of boxes, off a stack, and/ ormoff the floor. - This may seem inconsequential but it can be a BIG help whether it be a half hour favor and chat time or a multi-hour let's get it all (haha) unpacked effort.
I had to laugh, I always set a timer when I have the water going, I ALWAYS forget.
All hail the removalists!! They are special ppl that want too do the job!! The removalists who helped me were fantastic!! No complaints whatsoever!!
With the decisions…. That is EXACTLY show I’ve felt lately with our move and stuff. I’ve been so stressed, busy and overwhelmed that I have said several times “ I cannot make anymore decisions “
I love that you put yourself in time out! Lol! I do it often as well! The world would be a better place if we were all practiced self reflecting and put ourselves in time out and ate a snack.
Yay! a new video! going to post this before i even watch it.
Awww, your dogs will be so excited to see you both!!
Just a suggestion, to the left of that 1st freezer you and Josh have that space. Someday a walk-in freezer would be great for all the wonderful things you make and freeze.. sure love your channel ❤️ 💕
About your deep freezer from the 70s, you might want to reconsider replacing that. I have a deep freezer from 1961 and it’s super huge and it has outlived several freezers that I have got since then. It’s the coldest freezer I have ever owned and it is literally still in my basement and it is cold cold cold! If you do sell it I’d pay you top dollar for it! Sounds weird but seriously, you don’t see old freezers like that exactly around every corner.
Costco has good prices on freezers. Yes, need to new energy friendly one. They take a lot of power. We are in our new house for one year and now can average our electric bill, it is 60.00 year round here in NC with air conditioning running from June to Oct. non stop set at 78.
@@denisejones1863 I can appreciate the thought of energy friendly ones but it only saves $30-$40 per year, on average, and for one the size of hers it would cost hundreds of dollars to replace it. Then you’re also left with the idea that these newer freezers do not last nearly as long. Overall I think it would still be a financial loss to replace it and that doesn’t even include the value of food loss the day it does finally decide to quit working. The newer ones just are not made the way the old ones were. And definitely not nearly as cold. But to each their own.
If your old freezers work, save them. New ones don’t last as long and they’ve gotten very expensive.
Josh is a man after my own heart. I love vacuums also. I own 8 of them and I think it is a sickness lol.
Yes get a generator you never know when you will need it, moving is exhausting but thrilling in getting a new place, rest up and relax and take time to organize your new home 🏡!
Country living Generator is a must!! 🤣💞
Oh my godness! I get exhausted just by watching...but it´s also fun having a "new start" and I envy your youth and enegy...and the new house, it´s fantastic!
I could sit and watch your videos, no matter the length. If it's possible, keep taking us on your daily journeys in snippets, like today. Becky, you and Josh are an inspiration and I love spending time with you. Take care of yourself.
The flowers are stunning!!!
I've moved out of an apartment/condo 8 times, however I have never moved a house and farmstead! You two are doing such an awesome job keeping things organized and getting things done! I wish I had half your energy, planning and organizational skills!
The freezer location is perfect!
This has me stressed out. 🤣It reminds me of my last move. I will not ever move again and I haven’t. You have so much to do and when you leave a apartment you have to go back and super clean it ot lose security and your first child. Kidding! I had four strong guys and I was so happy they help I gave them a very big tip. Don’t care..they earned it. Becky I wish I had words to say but it will be over soon. The garden will be fine. They got water. Josh looks tired. Take care guys. Your doing super! Warm shower, sleep you will be new people!! 🌴🦩🇺🇸👀
I can totally relate to your water being left on! 😂 I now set an alarm so I won’t forget! So happy that you are going to be able to settle into your new home. I hope you get some rest now!
Wow! Great job! So much work! 😱You guys did great. I’m glad you had help. When my little family moved to another state halfway across the country it took us a couple weeks to downsize all our possessions to fit into our cargo trailer, car and RV. What an adventure though and glad we did it. You guys are so blessed! What a beautiful home to move into. 😁It’s so good you’re self aware enough to know when to take a time out (so to speak). So healthy to be able to know when to do that. I’m in my 40’s and I’m still learning that skill! Lol. 👍🏻You’re way ahead of the game. Taking care of ourselves should not be last on the list for sure. 😉
Hey Becky, I'm so happy you are finally moved in. I get cranky too when my blood sugar drops. Make sure you eat on time to keep up your energy and strength.
I bet mom and dad were happy to see you guys. They seem so supportive and wonderful. Enjoy getting you house in order. I love how you are always thing of others, such a great quality. Many Blessing to you, Josh and the baby
You have such abeautiful attitude. Need more people like you.
Freezer inventory, ugh! Love the hard sided totes, I should check into them. Getting to the bottom is always a nightmare and I only have one, lol. So thankful you hired help, that’s a lot of stuff. Major move, kudos. I know you’re like an energizer bunny but be sure to get some rest. So excited for you. I’ll be looking for a fixer upper with some land in the spring. Is it bad to say I hope the housing bubble busts before I buy? I really don’t want to overpay for property and it’s been outrageous what housing is going for in my area.
When are you moving the girls?
I was thinking the same thing
Becky’s freezer tote tip works great! I didn’t have those, but I did have the reusable grocery bags and love how they work too! I can grab both handles in one hand and get whatever I’m digging for in the other!
Ugh, it's been awful. I've been looking for a home for almost 2 years now. We just put an offer on a house for 15k over asking which I thought was reasonable. We got beat out by a cash offer from a real estate investor 🤦♀️ These investors keep buying up all the single family homes in our area.
@@jelatinosa That's just horrible & should be illegal !
awww, you look so cute Becky! Im excited for you to enjoy/experience Motherhood!
Hi Becky!
Always have snacks available just in case you get hungry. It’s not easy being pregnant.
I just love all the suggestions from everyone here… like keeping an eye on the freezers, a generator for the whole house, colored bags for freezer! This is such a great learning channel altogether! 💖🌸💖
I get the vacuum thing, I have 3 😁 and I told my hubby I absolutely needed them even though we only have a 3 bedroomed house.
I love the bag idea for the freezer and will be using this idea in the near future. As well as I am now trying to come up with freezer meals after seeing the busy life of moving and how grateful that you are to have them so handy. I am very busy and I don't like to cook when it's dinner time. I would rather cook early in the morning. Well, now I'm leaning towards, just freeze a bunch of meals and pop it in the oven...how convenient is that. I have already started working on this and have several stuffed bell peppers individually packaged so that we can just grab a couple, defrost them, and pop them in the oven. I also took some burgers that I had, added a bag with a couple of buns (i freeze my bread) and packaged those together along with a small batch of fries. Now, I don't have to look for the buns or the fires, they are all together. Thanks for all the great tips. My problem is that I am taking care of two households and convenience is what I need. Making the food ahead of time, now that's going to be the way to go I think. Love watching your channel!
You work so hard. Be careful during this special time in your life.
You two are amazing! Remember to stay well hydrated. Your parents are adorable!
When I get over hungry, then over tired-oh boy look out lol. You're definitely not alone in that
You did a super great job of handling the stress of the move !!! Moving is so stressful, and being pregnant and not feeling your best, would make it that much more so. You handled it great. Thank you for sharing it with all of us.
I had to laugh when you said you can’t move a freezer unless it’s empty because it’s too heavy. We were moving from on apartment to a new apartment and had an upright freezer (full including a 22 lb turkey). My in-laws decided to just strap it shut (full) and move it. The old apartment was on the ground floor the new apartment was 3 flights of stairs up. When they finally got the freezer upstairs my father-in-law said next time you move he will pay for movers. I had told them to empty it but the men of course said it wasn’t necessary 😂😂😂😂
Another note, every time we moved, I was pregnant or had just had a baby so wasn’t allowed to do much to help. I remember the last move (to the house we live in now) I was 7 months pregnant but looked like I could give birth any minute. Every time I started to do something, at least one of the movers(we hired someone to move us this time) would say “lady go sit down. They were so afraid I would go into labor while they were there. 😂😂😂
Becky, put your timer on on your phone when watering. It really helps. Watch what you’re doing. You are having a baby. Please be careful ❤️
Yep, I have our freezers in the basement and I like it that way.
Becky, in the middle of moving, we emptied one of our deep freezers and moved it to the new home. 2 months later, in hot July, we opened the “empty” freezer only to find a rancid, foul smelling beef roast! The smell was horrendous and the maggots, and flies that filled the house were the things nightmares are made of!!!! 🤢
That was so smart to have your deep freezer food organized in bags. I did that with one of my projects and it's such a helpful time saver. I am so HAPPY for you guys! Every time I watch one of your videos I feel like either I'm lazy or need to just STEP UP my productive day game. LOL Smh THANK YOU for inspiring me to DO more in a day!
