Thank you for all that you do as a nurse and as a kind person. My Dad is currently in the hospital with a blockage in his heart and my family is grateful to the hospital staff for keeping things running and clean for those who still need a hospital. My Dad has esophageal cancer and has had his chemo stopped because of his heart. He is at Juravinski Cancer Centre in Ontario where I know they will take the best care of him they possibly can. Ion a light note, I haven’t scrapbooked for many years, but I will check out you new channel. Do what makes you feel good. All my best to you and your family.
Please know that on your most nonproductive day I feel like you run laps around me lol, you are such a joy to watch because I feel the real. Hang in there through these rough waters we are in !
Jen, I know that you are a huge asset to your hospital. They are very fortunate to have you. I'm so glad you have your artistic outlet to help with your stress. Hang in there, Jen! Wishing you and your family many blessings and a Happy Easter.❤
What an unusual time we're in. My brother and family in Utah are going bananas with staying home. They aren't used to being around each other. It's a strain. My daughter's college graduation has been put off a year due to the shutdown. She's putting on a brave face but my heart breaks for her. I know how disappointed and discouraged she feels. As for me, after such a long winter, I was looking forward to some outings (lap swimming is my happy place) and weekly volunteer work but nope, shelter in place for who knows how long. I guess we're all feeling it. On the positive side, I am both comforted and encouraged by you and your videos. Thank you from the bottom of my broken heart for your work here and in healthcare. You're a champ even when you don't feel like it!❤♀️ Sending positive feel good vibes your way!🌈
❤ "Treat yo'self" Cracked me up!! Please keep being you- gets me through my day!! I am an NP in a clinic in NE Iowa and we just furloughed our staff and took pay cuts to stay. This week was tough emotionally! I think your channel helps me stay sane and helps me feel like my day is "normal "!
Jen, your voice is very calming. You are always so busy and doing so much. Thank you for all you do. I know being a nurse at these times is so more challenging than in normal life. I really enjoyed your video. I'm trying to be busy when I'm not working. I work from home, though my job is very slow b/c I'm in the food industry. These are uncertain times and never thought we would be living like this. It's a wake up call to live in the moment and appreciate everything we have. I hope you have a great week and nice Easter.
I want to thank you Jen. Even though i'm not in the same country as you, we are all part of the same world. And i really want to thank anyone i know, that are able to go to work. You are part of keeping the world still going, and espescially all the people who are working in the healthcare system. I can only imagine how scary it must be, to leave you family to go to a place where you know for sure that there can be a higher risk of encountering this horrible nightmare that has made our world take a long pause.. I am also thankful that you are still able to post amazing videos for all of us, that love you and your family❤️ (even if we are strangers🙈😁) Stay strong, but remember that it is OK to be scared and stressed. I find comfort in the fact that the situation is not going to be like this forever. Nothing lasts forever, not even this scary virus😊 Big hug all the way from Norway
I, too, love beautiful penmanship. One good thing about being stuck at home for so long in NJ - the NYC Metro area (the current Covid-19 epicenter - we've been on lockdown for a month now) is my 13yo is so bored, she's actually been working on her penmanship. My child will have a real signature and know how to read cursive if I can help it. Please be safe and take those naps without guilt! You more than deserve it! Your "unproductive" days are my goals. :)
Connor did a great job on his pineapple, I feel so bad for the kids this year, everything happened so fast, they didn't get a chance to say their good byes to their friends or teachers. I work for the school so I am at home. Our teachers from the local Elementary did a driving parade around the neighborhood for the kids. They were outside with signs and stuff It was bitter sweet. Take care Jen, I'm sending good thoughts to you, your family and co-workers.
I really admire u and working in health care. My daughter works in a nursing home and I know she has struggled throughout this year. She has 3 kids so childcare has been something that her and I have tried to work through. We are still in hybrid mode in south jersey for school
Sending good thoughts to YOU as you navigate this crisis. Thanks for continuing the videos. They feel like visits with a friend and are very much welcomed as I live alone. 💕
I hope you realize how amazing you are (in my head you are also known as the energizer bunny 😉). Most people, including me, don't do a third of what you do every single day. Keep that in mind and be kind to yourself. Sending you lots of love!
Great job! The protocols in my hospital are so reassuring and give all of us the peace of mind we need to continue to give our patients the best care! Thank you for all that you do! The vent situation is always a concern for all of us. Praying and sending good thoughts your way.☺️
It's funny you being a nurse and making that rainbow because here in the UK children have been painting or drawing rainbows and putting them in the windows of their homes to show support to the nurses, doctors and other key workers.
I’m glad you talked about being a nurse and what’s happening there. I’m in Texas and curious how things are elsewhere by watching my normal RUclipsrs that Ive always watched. My friend is a RN and furloughed because she works in a surgical hospital and they stopped surgeries unless absolutely necessary.
*Happy Easter, Jen (and Adam and the kids of course). My happy moment this week was being out of the house for basically 2nd time in 30 days to watch our school's teacher/staff "parade". We practiced social distancing ;) But I got so teary eyed watching how excited the kids were to see their teachers. It was emotional, which seems weird, but such a highlight in the midst of all the devastation in our world today.*
So feel your anxieties through this video. I'm so glad to have a secure income, but also find days when I go out to work so stressful and come straight home and jump in the shower and wash all my clothes, wipe down my work passes, phone etc. I'm in the UK and we're a tiny population, but also quite dense in city areas and we're losing 900+ people a day to this battle right now. So hard to fathom. I've never been so glad to have chosen to live out in the sticks...but it makes it no easier to see what's going on elsewhere in the country or world. Heartbreaking. Take care and thank you for posting through this. I'm hoping videos will be a way we can document this time and how our home lives continue no matter what is going on out there. May they be a way to 'look back' on this time soon. Stay safe.
Commented just before the end of your video...that rainbow is beautiful! In the UK we have rainbows in our windows for people/families who are out walking to see and count...much like the teddy bears in the USA I think. That rainbow would be sure to make anyone passing your home smile though, but the scrapbook page idea is beautiful too.
When I went in to healthcare 25 years ago I never imagined I would be out of work. But here I am, furloughed for god knows how long. I am a CAT scan technologist working for the largest out patient radiology practices in my state. We had to close all but 2 offices. Hopefully I will be back to work sooner than later. In the meantime I am cooking up a storm for the family. Stay safe.❤
Jen, give yourself some grace. What's your going through is stress. My job is on the phone all day and anytime there is a crisis in the world, my callers want to either get angry or take extra time and talk about their opinions, fears or life history. Take those naps, take time for you. If you need to cut down the lengths of your vlogs in order to self-care, do it. If you need to have sandwiches, pizza or freezer food for meals, do it. Your well being is most important, otherwise the wall will tumble down. Hugs.
Thank you Jen for all that you are doing and have done to help Iowa with this Copid 19 virus. I have dear friends that live in Iowa City and also Cedar Rapids and I am happy to know that your staff is doing everything in their power to help! Thanks again Jen!
Hi Jen, wishing you and your family a very lovely Easter! My 4 year old son is your biggest fan, we always watch your videos at bed time. Last night he suggested we should video call you, and I said that we don’t actually know you. He said but Mama, we know her, her name is Jen. There you go :) Happy Easter from Australia
I wanted to say Thank You. Thank you for bringing normal into our lives. I always look forward to your videos because I feel your honest self always comes across, and I for one do appreciate that. Stay safe and Happy Eater to your family.
so after 20 years of not being able to work outside of the home, Iv suddenly discovered a 'side gig/hustle. Im making hepa filter face masks. I dont charge money for them, but instead ask for a 'trade' like more cloth to make masks, elastic for the ear bands, thread, things for my sewing machine, or food items (mostly people have offered meat and obviously Im pretty happy with that, veg is great too as we get into warmer months). I have autoimmune disease/immunocompromised and have to get IVIG every month.. so everything has to be well sanitized before it comes into the house. I dont know how long Ill 'be here' but Im trying to help my family be able to deal with the world after Im gone. If you can send me some good thoughts,, Id appreciate it. I was soooo hopeful we would be able to offer peaches this year to our local community because we have five peach trees. But the weatherman says below 32 degrees two days this coming week so I doubt that will happen this year. Breaks my heart honestly. All the blooms will freeze off if that happens.
Amazing contribution. Sending many positive blessings to you and your family. I also hope the peach trees manage through this week and that the temps don't dip as much as predicted!
I can’t imagine working in health care right now how stressful it is. Thank you to you and all the other health care workers that are helping take care of everyone. Where I work has been closed for almost a month now and my husband lost his job this week. He is supposed to be rehired when everything opens back up but it’s scary not knowing when everything will open back up. Our governor tried to get around the shelter in place by closing things but she finally had to issue a shelter in place.
My family loves banana bread. Anytime we have overripe bananas on the counter I will freeze them. Either for smoothies or depending on how many I will freeze individual bags of three bananas, perfect amount for banana bread. Then all I have to do is thaw out the bag and I am ready to whip it up!
Thank you for all your service in healthcare during this Covid19 virus!!!! Hugs and prayers for your safety!!!! I know my job in healthcare had to make some changes. Here in Pittsburgh, PA we have been on shut down for a month. It’s a stressful time for everyone in some matter. I’ve had to reschedule my bridal shower 3 times, my bachelorette party is on hold, my wedding had to be reschedule from May to September! I’m heartbroken! But we have almost completed rescheduling everything. Stay safe and healthy!!!💕
I got my Dawn power spray stuff online from Target. We don’t have a Target so I order online. I had not left my house since March 12until yesterday when I had to drive an hour and a half to Costco. My grocery store is out of everything and since they are very small they are being skipped over and not getting many shipments. I suffer depression and anxiety and I had such anxiety leaving the house. That being said I’ve never seen Costco so empty, there were maybe 20-25 people in there. They did not have t-p or bleach so we stopped at Albertsons and my husband was stopped at the door and told he would have to wait to go in because only so many people can be in there at one time. I love your new channel I have been scrapping again after yrs. because watching you I got motivated again. Take care of yourself
I have the gelish nail system. It works really well. Very similar to the red carpet system. They have lots of colors on amazon that you can buy and use as well.
I just went through the words of all you kind people and I sincerely hope and Pray that you all are safe . Jen I do think you do a wonderful job your family is doing well I had to laugh at Conner and the dog running with no worries. Please everyone remember what Easter is about Jesus gave his everything for all of us.
We live in Texas. DFW area. Both county’s we live and work in have a shelter in place order. Our jobs are safe and secure- we are essential workers as well but so stressful. I work at the hospital and have direct patient care. I feel guilty going to work and do my best not bring anything home. We have been ordering out once a week to support our locals- thank goodness for the change.
My son is only 6 months old and I feel so sad that I haven’t been able to take him out to many places. I could honestly say he has left my house maybe about 10-20 times in his entire 6 months. I had bought him cute summer clothes and now he just wears them to the back yard. But I would rather he stay safe inside. Keep up the great work Jen! We will all get through this pandemic together! & I looooove how much Adam teases you through out your videos lol he reminds me of my husband who hates to be recorded. Stay safe! xoxo-from California ❤️
This is such a strange time. I feel like it has reset so many things for society. It is an awesome reminder of how quickly everything can change. I am working (med insurance) harder now than I have in years. One of my projects is COVID related, and it is kicking my ass. With that said, I consider myself blessed, to be able to work, and have all the med pros & others that are keeping the rest of us going. So, thank you for your hard work, and the risks you’re taking. ❤️
You are AMAZING! I don't know how you do everything you do. Please remember to not only take care of your husband, children, and the patients you advise on the phone, but to also take care of YOU!!! I really enjoy your videos! I learn something new every time I see one. Take care!
Thank you for all you do Jen!!! I know it’s stressful times right now for the world, but I have faith this will pass 🙏🏽🙏🏽 please stay safe and healthy. Sending my prayers and blessings for you and your family ❤️
Hi Jen, so glad you and the family are doing well. I'm in Pa right outside of Philly and we do have a shelter in place order, and all Schools are out through the end of the year. I work in Veterinary medicine , so I do still go to work in my animal hospital but we're very limited to the care we can give. Most of our PPE's and ventilators have gone to area hospitals. Happy Easter to you and your family. Stay safe and healthy.
I understand your work stress. I am in the philanthropy department of a large hospital system (2 lg hospitals and 3 specialty hospitals) and we interact with the front-line care staff regularly. Our system leadership has given us a huge fundraising goal specifically for the pandemic. It's a lot of pressure - we need to fund the programs and the care resources that our coworkers need and at a time when businesses are affected and people are in financial turmoil. The thing for all of us to remember is that we need to take care of ourselves as much as possible so that we can help others and that this will pass. Our families, our country and our planet will survive this.
Schools here in NH are closed until 5/4 for right now. I have a feeling that could be extended but I am trying to stay positive about it. Thank you again for all you do at your job & RUclips Jen. You are awesome. We have so far tried Tater Tot Cassette & Pizza Burgers from your ground beef freezer meals video & they came out good & tasted delicious ! Happy Easter to you & your awesome family!😘
I know how you feel , I work full time as a PSW in a long term nursing home, we are very lucky that we have had no cases of the covid 19, As of a few days ago we have to wear a mask for the entire shift and I am ok with that , Its just another precaution to keep our residents safe...Thank you for all you do..xoxoxo
I'm amazed at how much you get done during a weekend after working all week. I love and enjoy watching all of your videos. I've been praying for you and all other essential workers. Have a great evening/ day. Happy early Easter Jen!
Wow that rainbow is so gorgeous! (Also, thank you for the kind words about my note and handwriting). Bless you and yours! (And thank you and your colleagues, worldwide, for all of your work for all of our health).
Thank you, Jen for everything you’re doing for the people in your community and for us!! Making videos during this stressful time has to be so hard! Thank you, you’re my favorite you tuber, and when you post vids, I actually watch them😂 even though my life is crazy right now! Everyone else can wait! Haha! Happy Easter, friend!!
I appreciate your honesty when speaking about covid-19. I realize as a medical professional you are limited to the amount and type of info you can give. However, the info you do provide is timely and certainly provides food for thought on how we can better take care of ourselves and our families. Hugs, love and blessings to you. 💖
I work in a research medical supply warehouse so I gotta still go to work. Except for work I go get fresh food once a week. I stay home for the rest of the time. That cheese cake looks so yummy!
I was going to clean. But then I got tired watching you. Lol 😂 nap was a good call! Hang in there. Work is normally stressful but now it’s ridiculous. I can’t believe that there are still states that aren’t sheltering in place! I think that’s the only thing saving us here in California. I go for Surge training next week. We’ll see what that entails. Stay safe. ❤️
Just wanted to say thanks for all you do... any job on the front lines is so incredibly important. Like everywhere , it’s too been crazy here in the Bay Area (CA) and so hard to keep up with all the changes happening every day. Makes my mind spin! But I know we’ll all get through this, so keep strong! Take care and stay safe. ❤️❤️❤️
Think if you Jen and in this strange time. Hope you can keep safe. We do appreciate all medical staff and all they put their lives through for all of us. We're doing our part to stay put. Take care of you Jen and rest 💗
Hey girl!! Love LOVE your videos. I'm the freezer Queen when it comes to extras. I freeze any leftovers waffles as well, we just pop them in the toaster too. I definitely find it helpful to continue to prep meals as usual although I'm working from home.
Sending all the good thoughts. My 5 year old has asthma we have been home except for grocery pickup once a week. I love your crafts. I’m a quilter and that it is the only thing helping with anxiety right now. I’m making masks for friends and family. It’s not much but something I can do. Sending all my love to you and the other healthcare workers out there.
God Bless you, Jen! Thank you for all you do in your job. Take care of yourself. We have a stay-at-home order...I still have to go in to work 2-3 days per week. Other than that and my husband doing a couple of grocery runs, we stay home.
I bought a waffle maker last year. Attempted to use it once it stuck no matter what I did. Its been collecting dust in my cupboard. Now this one looks amazing! The removable plates is a game changer. I have a George Foreman where the plates come out!
Thank you for your continued videos - they are a nice distraction while I am obeying a Stay in Place order here in MI. Schools are closed for the remainder of the year here. Such a crazy time! Thank you for all you do as a front line employee!
I recently lost my son to an auto accident (9/11, he was only 22, my 1st born). I've been watching your channel even before. I want to thank you for being my center with your videos in these last few months, many many feeling to work thru there. Connor reminds me so much of him when he was young. His little smile is infectious.
I don't know how it may work on the freezer, but I use post-it tape for putting expiration labels on my pantry things that I decant. (flour, sugar, rice, etc) it is easily removable, and sticky all over so it doesn't just come of!
Hi Jen, first of all, thanks for all you do in the health care field. I know that it's truly a hard time, but all the work you do is much appreciated by many. We do have a state wide stay at home order in Missouri, so that's what we are doing. I've only gone out to the store/pharmacy, and that's it. It's kind of weird how when you have the freedom to go out and about, and you chose to stay home because you decide you don't want to go do something...but then when you are told you can't go anywhere except essential places, it starts to mess with you psychologically. At least it has for me. Their is something about having a change of scenery, that helps a person's mental health. Anyway, sending you and the whole family good thoughts and prayers. Keep your head up, and try not to let the stress get to you.
Hi Jen, Great video I was wondering can I use Apple cider vinegar to wash my produce ? My grocery store didn’t have whit vinegar. Hope you and your family are staying safe and healthy
We're doin ok! I don't leave the house much but had to go to Costco and now if you're a first responder etc you go to front of line outside. My husband is a Deputy Sheriff and I made him use his chance to go right in lol! It was nice to get in and out. My kids who are in school start distance learning soon and SO not looking forward to that lol!!
I hate when a funk moves in and steals my joy. I hope you're feeling better today. It's hard having to choose between a career and your kids. You kids are big enough they shouldn't be much trouble at all to watch. Good luck to you and your hospital in the coming weeks.
Thank you for all that you do as a nurse and as a kind person. My Dad is currently in the hospital with a blockage in his heart and my family is grateful to the hospital staff for keeping things running and clean for those who still need a hospital. My Dad has esophageal cancer and has had his chemo stopped because of his heart. He is at Juravinski Cancer Centre in Ontario where I know they will take the best care of him they possibly can.

Take care Jen thank you for all you do on RUclips and especially at the hospital during this scary time
Please know that on your most nonproductive day I feel like you run laps around me lol, you are such a joy to watch because I feel the real. Hang in there through these rough waters we are in !
Jen, I know that you are a huge asset to your hospital. They are very fortunate to have you. I'm so glad you have your artistic outlet to help with your stress. Hang in there, Jen! Wishing you and your family many blessings and a Happy Easter.❤

Thanks for your service at the hospital jen. I’m sure everyone appreciates it.

Kristen Menard I’m so sorry! Thinking of you!
Bless you, Jen. Thank you for all you do. Stay safe. When this is all over let's grab a beer in the closet for old times's sake! Hang in there. xo
I am also a nurse and it is the first time that it has been scary to work. Prayers for everyone.
Jen, give yourself some grace. What's your going through is stress.

I was soooo hopeful we would be able to offer peaches this year to our local community because we have five peach trees. But the weatherman says below 32 degrees two days this coming week so I doubt that will happen this year. Breaks my heart honestly. All the blooms will freeze off if that happens.
Ophiuchus Oversoul, thank you SO much for being a helper. What a blessing you are! I’m keeping you in my prayers!
Amazing contribution. Sending many positive blessings to you and your family. I also hope the peach trees manage through this week and that the temps don't dip as much as predicted!
My daughter gets SCIG at home (I administer her weekly Gamunex-C. She reacted badly to IVIG, thus why we do SCIG. She has hypogammaglobulinemia
Ophiuchus Oversoul what a wonderful thing you are doing !
Sending love from the UK 🇬🇧🌈
Love, love, love hearing this. :)
I can’t imagine working in health care right now how stressful it is. Thank you to you and all the other health care workers that are helping take care of everyone. Where I work has been closed for almost a month now and my husband lost his job this week. He is supposed to be rehired when everything opens back up but it’s scary not knowing when everything will open back up. Our governor tried to get around the shelter in place by closing things but she finally had to issue a shelter in place.
My family loves banana bread. Anytime we have overripe bananas on the counter I will freeze them. Either for smoothies or depending on how many I will freeze individual bags of three bananas, perfect amount for banana bread. Then all I have to do is thaw out the bag and I am ready to whip it up!
Thank you for all your service in healthcare during this Covid19 virus!!!! Hugs and prayers for your safety!!!! I know my job in healthcare had to make some changes.
Here in Pittsburgh, PA we have been on shut down for a month.
It’s a stressful time for everyone in some matter. I’ve had to reschedule my bridal shower 3 times, my bachelorette party is on hold, my wedding had to be reschedule from May to September! I’m heartbroken! But we have almost completed rescheduling everything.
Stay safe and healthy!!!💕
I got my Dawn power spray stuff online from Target. We don’t have a Target so I order online. I had not left my house since March 12until yesterday when I had to drive an hour and a half to Costco. My grocery store is out of everything and since they are very small they are being skipped over and not getting many shipments. I suffer depression and anxiety and I had such anxiety leaving the house. That being said I’ve never seen Costco so empty, there were maybe 20-25 people in there. They did not have t-p or bleach so we stopped at Albertsons and my husband was stopped at the door and told he would have to wait to go in because only so many people can be in there at one time. I love your new channel I have been scrapping again after yrs. because watching you I got motivated again. Take care of yourself
I have the gelish nail system. It works really well. Very similar to the red carpet system. They have lots of colors on amazon that you can buy and use as well.
I just went through the words of all you kind people and I sincerely hope and Pray that you all are safe . Jen I do think you do a wonderful job your family is doing well I had to laugh at Conner and the dog running with no worries. Please everyone remember what Easter is about Jesus gave his everything for all of us.
I am in a 12 week lock down in the Uk 🇬🇧 due to being bedbound and I so enjoy
Your videos but it’s good to hear how you are coping in the USA
That 3 PM hair is the bomb! 🙌
Thank you for your service to our country Jen; you're amazing!
We live in Texas. DFW area. Both county’s we live and work in have a shelter in place order. Our jobs are safe and secure- we are essential workers as well but so stressful. I work at the hospital and have direct patient care. I feel guilty going to work and do my best not bring anything home. We have been ordering out once a week to support our locals- thank goodness for the change.
My son is only 6 months old and I feel so sad that I haven’t been able to take him out to many places. I could honestly say he has left my house maybe about 10-20 times in his entire 6 months. I had bought him cute summer clothes and now he just wears them to the back yard. But I would rather he stay safe inside. Keep up the great work Jen! We will all get through this pandemic together! & I looooove how much Adam teases you through out your videos lol he reminds me of my husband who hates to be recorded. Stay safe! xoxo-from California ❤️
This is such a strange time. I feel like it has reset so many things for society. It is an awesome reminder of how quickly everything can change. I am working (med insurance) harder now than I have in years. One of my projects is COVID related, and it is kicking my ass. With that said, I consider myself blessed, to be able to work, and have all the med pros & others that are keeping the rest of us going. So, thank you for your hard work, and the risks you’re taking. ❤️
You are AMAZING! I don't know how you do everything you do. Please remember to not only take care of your husband, children, and the patients you advise on the phone, but to also take care of YOU!!! I really enjoy your videos! I learn something new every time I see one. Take care!
Thank you for all you do Jen!!! I know it’s stressful times right now for the world, but I have faith this will pass 🙏🏽🙏🏽 please stay safe and healthy. Sending my prayers and blessings for you and your family ❤️
Hi Jen, so glad you and the family are doing well. I'm in Pa right outside of Philly and we do have a shelter in place order, and all Schools are out through the end of the year. I work in Veterinary medicine , so I do still go to work in my animal hospital but we're very limited to the care we can give. Most of our PPE's and ventilators have gone to area hospitals. Happy Easter to you and your family. Stay safe and healthy.
I understand your work stress. I am in the philanthropy department of a large hospital system (2 lg hospitals and 3 specialty hospitals) and we interact with the front-line care staff regularly. Our system leadership has given us a huge fundraising goal specifically for the pandemic. It's a lot of pressure - we need to fund the programs and the care resources that our coworkers need and at a time when businesses are affected and people are in financial turmoil. The thing for all of us to remember is that we need to take care of ourselves as much as possible so that we can help others and that this will pass. Our families, our country and our planet will survive this.
Schools here in NH are closed until 5/4 for right now. I have a feeling that could be extended but I am trying to stay positive about it. Thank you again for all you do at your job & RUclips Jen. You are awesome. We have so far tried Tater Tot Cassette & Pizza Burgers from your ground beef freezer meals video & they came out good & tasted delicious ! Happy Easter to you & your awesome family!😘
Conner did a great job on his pineapple!!!
Jen love your vlogs. Your vlogs are a treat ❤️ stay healthy and safe ❤️ you and everyone in first responders are my heros ❤️
I know how you feel , I work full time as a PSW in a long term nursing home, we are very lucky that we have had no cases of the covid 19, As of a few days ago we have to wear a mask for the entire shift and I am ok with that , Its just another precaution to keep our residents safe...Thank you for all you do..xoxoxo
I'm amazed at how much you get done during a weekend after working all week. I love and enjoy watching all of your videos. I've been praying for you and all other essential workers. Have a great evening/ day. Happy early Easter Jen!
Thank you for what you do Jennifer! Another great vlog! Stay safe.
Wow that rainbow is so gorgeous! (Also, thank you for the kind words about my note and handwriting). Bless you and yours! (And thank you and your colleagues, worldwide, for all of your work for all of our health).
I wanted to thank you for sharing the Old Spice Downy beads, I didn’t know they made them and I ordered some and my husband was happy 😊 😊 Happy Easter
Thank you, Jen for everything you’re doing for the people in your community and for us!! Making videos during this stressful time has to be so hard! Thank you, you’re my favorite you tuber, and when you post vids, I actually watch them😂 even though my life is crazy right now! Everyone else can wait! Haha! Happy Easter, friend!!
I appreciate your honesty when speaking about covid-19. I realize as a medical professional you are limited to the amount and type of info you can give. However, the info you do provide is timely and certainly provides food for thought on how we can better take care of ourselves and our families. Hugs, love and blessings to you. 💖
Just want to say your hash browns always look so great, lol. I wish I could make them like that. Great video!
Looking forward to seeing new videos on your crafting channel.
I love that pineapple and the other art works you made, too!
I work in a research medical supply warehouse so I gotta still go to work.
Except for work I go get fresh food once a week. I stay home for the rest of the time.
That cheese cake looks so yummy!
Thank you for being a nurse!❤
Thank you for all you do Jen! I love watching all of your videos, they always inspire me to be productive 💕😊
I was going to clean. But then I got tired watching you. Lol 😂 nap was a good call! Hang in there. Work is normally stressful but now it’s ridiculous. I can’t believe that there are still states that aren’t sheltering in place! I think that’s the only thing saving us here in California. I go for Surge training next week. We’ll see what that entails. Stay safe. ❤️
Just wanted to say thanks for all you do... any job on the front lines is so incredibly important. Like everywhere , it’s too been crazy here in the Bay Area (CA) and so hard to keep up with all the changes happening every day. Makes my mind spin! But I know we’ll all get through this, so keep strong! Take care and stay safe. ❤️❤️❤️
Think if you Jen and in this strange time. Hope you can keep safe. We do appreciate all medical staff and all they put their lives through for all of us. We're doing our part to stay put. Take care of you Jen and rest 💗
Hey girl!! Love LOVE your videos. I'm the freezer Queen when it comes to extras. I freeze any leftovers waffles as well, we just pop them in the toaster too.
I definitely find it helpful to continue to prep meals as usual although I'm working from home.
Love your videos, Jen! Keep them coming, thank you for all the motivation and ideas. Happy Easter to you and your family, stay safe❤
That masher thing for ground beef...I envy it (though my kitchen cannot handle any new items).
Just realized we have the same counter tops! Great video as usual!
Sending all the good thoughts. My 5 year old has asthma we have been home except for grocery pickup once a week. I love your crafts. I’m a quilter and that it is the only thing helping with anxiety right now. I’m making masks for friends and family. It’s not much but something I can do. Sending all my love to you and the other healthcare workers out there.
My mom and I love your videos....been watching for a while unsubscribed but now we’re official lol. TFS and keep them coming😊
I was watching another RUclips video and saw your notification and immediately started watching!❤️
Happy Easter, stay well
Love the rainbow 🌈
If you do go back into patient care stay safe! This whole thing is very anxiety inducing! Love to you and all the family x
Jenn your amazing. You bring such joy to so many. Many prayers sweet lady 😘😘
Have you ever made hash browns in a waffle iron? Tasty and crispy! I use Simply Potatoes, never tried the frozen ones.
I am an OR nurse for 35 years. I am going to the floor on Monday. What a change! A little stressed here😳
Stay safe, your in my prayers, God bless! 👋😊🙏💕
You're amazing. I have a lot of respect for you.
Donna Tyler you will do great! Everyone will help you!
God Bless you, Jen! Thank you for all you do in your job. Take care of yourself. We have a stay-at-home order...I still have to go in to work 2-3 days per week. Other than that and my husband doing a couple of grocery runs, we stay home.
I bought a waffle maker last year. Attempted to use it once it stuck no matter what I did. Its been collecting dust in my cupboard. Now this one looks amazing! The removable plates is a game changer. I have a George Foreman where the plates come out!
Thank you for your continued videos - they are a nice distraction while I am obeying a Stay in Place order here in MI. Schools are closed for the remainder of the year here. Such a crazy time! Thank you for all you do as a front line employee!
Yay! A Saturday night video!
Thank you for carrying on under these dire circumstances, Jen, it is greatly appreciated. Just be safe and well. :-D
I recently lost my son to an auto accident (9/11, he was only 22, my 1st born). I've been watching your channel even before. I want to thank you for being my center with your videos in these last few months, many many feeling to work thru there. Connor reminds me so much of him when he was young. His little smile is infectious.
Thank you so much and I’m so sorry for your loss!
Thanks, Jen.
Abrazos (Hugs) from Florida.
Be well. 🌼
I don't know how it may work on the freezer, but I use post-it tape for putting expiration labels on my pantry things that I decant. (flour, sugar, rice, etc) it is easily removable, and sticky all over so it doesn't just come of!
Wow , you accomplished so much on your “To Do List” Very inspiring .. Excellent video 😍
That cheesecake looked super yummy!!!!!! You're doing great, mama! :)
Yay, it's Jen time! 💙
Hi Jen, first of all, thanks for all you do in the health care field. I know that it's truly a hard time, but all the work you do is much appreciated by many. We do have a state wide stay at home order in Missouri, so that's what we are doing. I've only gone out to the store/pharmacy, and that's it. It's kind of weird how when you have the freedom to go out and about, and you chose to stay home because you decide you don't want to go do something...but then when you are told you can't go anywhere except essential places, it starts to mess with you psychologically. At least it has for me. Their is something about having a change of scenery, that helps a person's mental health. Anyway, sending you and the whole family good thoughts and prayers. Keep your head up, and try not to let the stress get to you.
Hi Jen,
Great video I was wondering can I use Apple cider vinegar to wash my produce ? My grocery store didn’t have whit vinegar. Hope you and your family are staying safe and healthy
We're doin ok! I don't leave the house much but had to go to Costco and now if you're a first responder etc you go to front of line outside. My husband is a Deputy Sheriff and I made him use his chance to go right in lol! It was nice to get in and out. My kids who are in school start distance learning soon and SO not looking forward to that lol!!
Thanks for all you do Jen 💛
Happy Easter to y’all 💛💛💛💛
Hey Jen thumbs up on the hash brown potatoes my husband and I love them thanks for introducing us to them please be safe my friend 😍
I hate when a funk moves in and steals my joy. I hope you're feeling better today. It's hard having to choose between a career and your kids. You kids are big enough they shouldn't be much trouble at all to watch. Good luck to you and your hospital in the coming weeks.
