I love that your channel has blown up like it has. I see other RUclipsrs mention you often. You're real, down-to-earth, and I can really tell you love your family. You deserve all the good things RUclips brings you.
Jen, I’m always impressed by how much you get done with ONE hand! You’re such a class act. We couldn’t be more different and yet I get so much pleasure from watching all your videos. You rock, Girrllllll.
Girl please! No way would I be on that deck with that bat 🦇! You are a brave soul! Lol. All the food looked delicious!! It’s really nobody’s business who you have over to your house. You are a nurse and work at the hospital everyday so if anyone knows if it’s ok it’s you. Hope you have a wonderful and blessed weekend! BTW- EVERYONE LET’S GET JEN TO A 100K!! SHE DESERVES THAT YOU TUBE BUTTON! 👍👍👍👍👍
I am always inspired by how much you seem to get done. Super motivational. And I agree with what you said about using caution in judgement, this is so important. I truly believe that everyone is making the best decisions they can for their families, and while it may look different than what you choose to do, that doesn't mean it's wrong.
Hey Jen, coming to you from frugalfitmom's channel and enjoying your videos so far, so thank you. When my fridge did that it meant that the condensation drip tube was clogged and had to be cleaned. My fridge is not the same as yours, but the issue was the same. Hope that helps. Also did you know that those 3 'feet' on your angel food cake pan are there to be able to flip the pan without needing a wine bottle, the wine bottle hack is for the pans that don't have them. That way you can drink the wine while it cools 😉
good job MURPHY!!! protecting your mom from the bat! we had a bat loose in our house once, it came in from the fireplace. it was a night i'll never forget, my husband was terrified! love your videos and loved your boy floating in the pool - 85 and humid here in WA today, going to order a similar pool for our back yard :D
Thank you for sharing your thoughts on having friends over. In your profession, your advice is very much welcomed during this time of uncertainty on how to move forward. 😀
So enjoyed this. I live in an apartment in UK and have a galley kitchen. How I envy your kitchen, but at 70 have learnt to make do. It is very nice to sit and watch all your prep. Reminds me of family times and has encouraged me to get up and do more. Sometimes all you need is a bit of encouragement-or shaming! Hx
Thanks Jen! You've just given me the kick in the butt to clean our fridge and the trash area 😂 I've been putting it off for weeks now 😅 but I will do it this saturday. Hope you're doing well! 🧡
Loved everything! The trash can slide out...couldn’t agree more. Except mine is 21 years old. Lol and as far as getting together with friends and BBQ’ing...didn’t even need to comment. You do you! Each state is different people. Connor and the pool..he rocked it. Hope you had a great time with the BBQ.
Ice accumulating in the fridge is often a plugged drain hole at the bottom. Have Adam take a look (he seems handy) or call a repair guy to fix it. You can get a big puddle sometime when you are out of town and it can be a mess.
I've said it before and I'll say it again, I love your channel!!! As for the Clorox wipes, I make my own, and by making my own. I buy unscented baby wipes and pour antibacterial cleaner on them
I was just watching this and remembered your monthly grocery bill... Really, you cook for these videos and America’s Test Kitchen, too, plus you entertain and clearly cooking is your avocation. So I think that grocery bill is quite reasonable! And re the virus, YES, it depends on where you live.
I just used your sun basket referral link and super excited to get my first box! Organic is important to me 😉 I love the idea of using your salad spinner to clean vegetables too. Thank you! PS. I think bats are cute!!
Hi Jen . I loved watching your video! I’m growing herbs and cannot believe that they are still alive . Have a great day and good morning from Australia 🇦🇺
I completely agree with you over getting together with people as long as we are smart about it. We've all been cooped up in our homes for so long and we need people lol.
@@Jen-Chapin yes we do. I am actually pretty fortunate my family (granted we are small) made the decision that regardless what was made in terms of isolation we would spend time together, but we also live in a rural farm community too.
I totally agree with you, Jen, about having friends over. Especially if your entertaining is mostly outdoors. In fact, it’s probably more healthy to be around friends!!!
Had I not seen you clean out your trash cans, another year might have passed before I thought of doing that ha! Great video, as always thanks for the inspiration/motivation!
You brought back a memory! My mom would make angel food cakes and use a 7up bottle when she cooled it. I was always intrigued with it being upside down.
Jen, I make my own cleaning wipes with paper towels, 4 oz of 70% alcohol, 10 oz water, 4 squirts of dawn. You can use any container, i found perfect one at dollar tree that fits 1/2 roll paper towels. I found Scott brand paper towels work best. It cuts grease, cleans anything, ive used it several yrs and love them.
Love how Murphy supervises you! His face was hilarious when you told the kids they threw food in your garbage bin and that's why you had to clean it. He peeked around the counter at you in shame.. LOL
Hi Jen. I loved the footage of Connor diving into his pool headfirst. He's so stinkin' cute. Oh, and I loved their reaction (or should I say non-reaction except Keira's smile) when you told them you cleaned the garbage cans and mess. Kids...ya gotta love 'em, right?
I love your fridge can you share what the model is. Even with that ice glitch...I love how you do your dishes I do mine the same and get wet shirts too. So nice to see someone else does the same ;) I also now need to make broccoli salad and tomatoes with soft mozzarella. yum.
I agree with the gathering. I live in WV and we have had such a low impact of the virus in our area. We are now opening up and no spike has ocurred. I think that the idea of opening up to someone who lives in a hot spot is hard to handle, but perfectly safe for those of us in less effected areas.
I use a large trash can liner in my trash can and then insert another grocery store shopping bag in the initial one. We are empty nesters, so we take out the store shopping bag every night and replace with another one, but the initial liner stays pretty clean. We use the grocery store bags in our bathrooms as well. Always get an accumulation of bags. I use the smaller ones inside the initial one because the large ones take a while to fill and the trash would start to smell. This way the small trash bag gets taken out daily and no smell accumulates.
We had the same problem with our old Samsung fridge. It was a problem with the outflow tube freezing up and then the condensation can't flow out, collects in the bottom and freezes. There are a couple of DIYers who have connected wire somehow to make it go down in the tube and keeps it warmer somehow? We just bought a new fridge rather than continue to deal with it.
I wish my Roomba would go in a straight line. I have a 650 and it just meanders all over the room. I wish I could keep plants alive. I've killed TWO aloe plants. I don't even know what I did wrong lol. Love the video of Connor in the pool living his best life
Thank you for the tip about the angel food cake I would have never known that of course I've never made one yet either I think I better start because that looks really damn good and there's nothing wrong with having friends over you're doing everything you're supposed to do and that's all you can do God bless stay safe until next time
I love visiting a farmers market, much less plastic packaging :) plus the produce just tastes SO much better for some reason! I’ve landed a veg garden this year so I’m excited to harvest some of that later this year. Do you have a garden? I’ve found it really relaxing, I bet your kids would love to help too 😊
OMG bats are my worst fear. I took my class of 6/7 year olds in the bat cave on a school trip to the zoo years ago and I was asked to leave by the assistant in there because I was hysterical. She said I was scaring the bats!! I was meant to showing the kids how to be calm and respectful but I couldn’t cope! Had them all saying to me outside, ‘miss are you ok now?’ 🤣🤣🙈🙈
I need a big single sink like yours..I have a double sink in my kitchen and it's a PITA to wash big stuff in it. Our area (DFW area in TX) has been opening back up for several weeks now...Most are open at 50%. Covid cases are going up again. :( We choose to still pretty much stay home.
I have been considering buying the Damn Delicious cookbook and now I’m sold! Thanks for reminding me to scrub down my trash can and wipe down the washer and dryer! These are always things that are easy to neglect! Yesterday I cleaned all bathrooms and dusted the toilet paper holder and towel racks- those get so dusty!
Question for you. I don’t own a toaster oven. I have researched them and and read about the distance between cupboard and top of the toaster oven was important due to the heat it puts out. How have you felt about that? It the top really really hot? I don’t have a ton of room for a large sized toaster oven. Just curious.
You could add some cheap dollar store liner under your trash cans. Just toss it out and replace it 2/4 times a year. Probably go the whole year on one or two rolls.
Turn the temp of your fridge up just a bit. I had the same issue with ice and it worked. My fridge was set too cold and freezing the condensation 🤷 I may have even turned the freezer temp up slightly
Totally agree about getting together and not passing judgement, either way. We have seen a couple of friends and family in the last week or so (one wasn't comfortable coming inside so we visited from outdoor chairs 6' apart). Everyone's situation is different (health concerns, state and county regulations, etc) and I think we all need to just be okay with everyone being at a different comfort level for a while. Want to responsibly get together? Great. Need some more time? Totally understand. Also, I like your hair wavy. ♥️
I love that your channel has blown up like it has. I see other RUclipsrs mention you often. You're real, down-to-earth, and I can really tell you love your family. You deserve all the good things RUclips brings you.
Dat Boi thank you!
Yes, your videos have inspired me to start my own. You are AMAZING!!
Jen, I just love your channel. Your laugh is so contagious- every time you laugh, I laugh! Keep shining.
Hi Jen enjoy you friends and family...Thank for all you do.
Jen, do you know you have the best laugh ever??? Every time you laugh in a video, I smile. 😊
Jen, I’m always impressed by how much you get done with ONE hand! You’re such a class act. We couldn’t be more different and yet I get so much pleasure from watching all your videos. You rock, Girrllllll.
It’s precious how much Murphy loves you. I love how he just tags along as you do stuff. 🥰
Yes to your get together!
Girl please! No way would I be on that deck with that bat 🦇! You are a brave soul! Lol.
All the food looked delicious!! It’s really nobody’s business who you have over to your house. You are a nurse and work at the hospital everyday so if anyone knows if it’s ok it’s you.

Love the farmer’s market haul! Not many people seem to have that!
Murphy is the best supervisor ❤️
Hey Jen, coming to you from frugalfitmom's channel and enjoying your videos so far, so thank you.

Sherry Lynn Carey i was thinking that when I was editing the video too, haha!
Everytime I watch your videos I'm so motivated. Thanks girl!
I never knew the about the glass bottle and a angel food cake. Thank you for the tip!!
You make everything look so simple and easy!!
good job MURPHY!!! protecting your mom from the bat! we had a bat loose in our house once, it came in from the fireplace. it was a night i'll never forget, my husband was terrified! love your videos and loved your boy floating in the pool - 85 and humid here in WA today, going to order a similar pool for our back yard :D
I love how Murphy Corndog follows you around & watches what you do. He looks like he could be hugged & loved allllll day! hahhaa!!!!
Thank you for sharing your thoughts on having friends over. In your profession, your advice is very much welcomed during this time of uncertainty on how to move forward. 😀
I love when Murphy makes an appearance. Makes me smile 😊
Fabulous Jen loved it all xx 🇬🇧
Pushed pause halfway through to clean under my sink! You're my inspiration!!
I might need that cookbook, they have the BEST recipes!!!
Love your videos! So down to earth and keeping it real. You are the reason I bought a salad spinner :)
Great video...as always. Great recipes, great inspiration and great content! 😀❤️

Of all tasks my least favorite thing to do is clean the fridge out. I recently started putting a paper towel down too. It helps.
Thanks Jen! You've just given me the kick in the butt to clean our fridge and the trash area 😂 I've been putting it off for weeks now 😅 but I will do it this saturday. Hope you're doing well! 🧡
FFM sent me here, so glad love your show! I’m now a subscriber😍
Love watching your videos and I just watched this at 11:00 pm and I feel so hungry watching you show your yummy food.
Another INCREDIBLE video. Such awesome content that always inspires me to get moving!!
Yes!!!! So needed my “Jen” fix!!!
Great 👍 video!!!!!! Come on 100K!!!

Yes, this! Happened to us but we didn’t realize until a puddle formed and damaged our hardwood.
I've said it before and I'll say it again, I love your channel!!! As for the Clorox wipes, I make my own, and by making my own. I buy unscented baby wipes and pour antibacterial cleaner on them

Just signed up to be a recipe tester for America’s Test kitchen! Thanks for sharing :)
You're response to having friends over was perfect!

Christina Cisnero awesome!
You guys have an awesome long driveway.
Why have I never thought to cut a cantaloupe the way you did?!?! Lol! 🤯 I’m glad you had a nice visit with friends! ☺️
Hi Jen .
I loved watching your video!
I’m growing herbs and cannot believe that they are still alive .
Have a great day and good morning from Australia 🇦🇺
Going to go make broccoli salad now at 7Am. I so enjoy my Jen time. Thank you Jen for sharing. 🤩
Sooooo close to 100,000!!
I need a Murphy in my life. ❤
I love love love your videos Jen! You’re the best!
I completely agree with you over getting together with people as long as we are smart about it. We've all been cooped up in our homes for so long and we need people lol.
Marieh over 3 months! We are needing some time with our loved ones 💕
@@Jen-Chapin yes we do. I am actually pretty fortunate my family (granted we are small) made the decision that regardless what was made in terms of isolation we would spend time together, but we also live in a rural farm community too.
Great job especially the bathroom. Be safe. See you next time
I'm anxiously waiting for you to hit 100K! You deserve 1 Million subs.
I totally agree with you, Jen, about having friends over. Especially if your entertaining is mostly outdoors. In fact, it’s probably more healthy to be around friends!!!
I have nieces and nephews that lives in Missouri and I love that vacuum cleaner 😍
Love watching your videos, they are my de-stresser, love murphy.
Just a tip. If you trim your candle wick 🕯 it will help prevent that black smoke ring around the glass
Had I not seen you clean out your trash cans, another year might have passed before I thought of doing that ha! Great video, as always thanks for the inspiration/motivation!
You’re so close to 100k!!!
Now I'm hungry 🤷 everything looked delicious 😋💙
You’re so brave, Jen! I couldn’t be out on the deck with that bat still there!. 🦇
You brought back a memory! My mom would make angel food cakes and use a 7up bottle when she cooled it. I was always intrigued with it being upside down.
Frugal fit mom sent me. I have two kids too. Lead me the way 😉

Love how Murphy supervises you! His face was hilarious when you told the kids they threw food in your garbage bin and that's why you had to clean it. He peeked around the counter at you in shame.. LOL
Maybe if you paint the inside trash cabinet with semi gloss plant might make the clean up much easier. Love your vids ..thanks
Hi Jen. I loved the footage of Connor diving into his pool headfirst. He's so stinkin' cute. Oh, and I loved their reaction (or should I say non-reaction except Keira's smile) when you told them you cleaned the garbage cans and mess. Kids...ya gotta love 'em, right?
Hi Jen, your pan have those little legs so you don't have to.put it up side down in a bottle. I learned that too
I love your fridge can you share what the model is. Even with that ice glitch...I love how you do your dishes I do mine the same and get wet shirts too. So nice to see someone else does the same ;) I also now need to make broccoli salad and tomatoes with soft mozzarella. yum.

“ ... throw food all over it.” Crickets. Hahaha! My child is exactly the same!
That sweet Kira's face was priceless... and Connor was like 'meh... whatever.' Lol!
Thanks for sharing 😍😍
LOL! Murphy did a great job protecting you! 🤣😂

The bats are good for insect control if you put a couple bat houses up closer to the woods it should deter them from your umbrella
Beautiful peonies !! ❤️

There are a couple of DIYers who have connected wire somehow to make it go down in the tube and keeps it warmer somehow? We just bought a new fridge rather than continue to deal with it.
Murphy! 😍 you should totally get socks with his face on them 😂😂
I would totally buy those.
You are just full of lil tidbits of info missy..😀😀😀
Murphy = love. 😍
I wish my Roomba would go in a straight line. I have a 650 and it just meanders all over the room. I wish I could keep plants alive. I've killed TWO aloe plants. I don't even know what I did wrong lol.

I have just watched another couple of minutes and seen you are growing herbs 👍🏼
We had a bat fly into our basement window a few years ago. Scared the crap out of us. Great video again!
I did your chicken recipe on the other video you had all my goodness it came out so good for dinner today☺️
OMG bats are my worst fear. I took my class of 6/7 year olds in the bat cave on a school trip to the zoo years ago and I was asked to leave by the assistant in there because I was hysterical.

Omg!! Thx for telling me about vinegar or lemon re salad turning brown.. and the containers!!! My lettuce always turns brown..
Great vid doll!! 😍
Awesome video as always. I just went to order that oven and its out of stock on Amazon 😒
I have been considering buying the Damn Delicious cookbook and now I’m sold! Thanks for reminding me to scrub down my trash can and wipe down the washer and dryer!

I LOVE the Sesame Street shirt. (I have a few of those myself.)
Where did you get the inflatable pool? I'm looking for one for my 2 kiddos 😃
You could add some cheap dollar store liner under your trash cans. Just toss it out and replace it 2/4 times a year. Probably go the whole year on one or two rolls.

I line my trash can cabinet with Press & Seal. Once a week I just have to remove/replace the Press & Seal.
I bet ur big sink comes in handy for washing out ur produce drawers.. I need to do that too..
Thoughts on the Microban Cleaner? I have the all purpose and it says to let dry. It's just so sticky IMHO. Nevermind I see now! Lol
Totally agree about getting together and not passing judgement, either way.

I have no yard but wish. Our pools are closed for the summer too.
Kiera and Connor when you said about the bins - bothered, face bothered, am I bothered lol 😂😂
