Jessica I do not think your kids will remember how much mom got organized or cleaned during these times but they will definitely remember how strong and positive their parents were and probably during one of their days when everything is going wrong will draw strength from the memories of how you two did your best to take care of them.
Hello. I am a grandmother and great-grandmother who lives in Ontario, Canada. I started to watch your videos just during this pandemic and I LOVE THEM! I have started to "back track" on some of them and quite enjoy your interaction with each other and family and we "youtubers". Thanks to your videos, I am now able to see the beauty of Alaska. Breathtaking! Keep doing these videos because they really do put LIFE and JOY into those that really need both during these times. God bless you and your family. Big hugs....
You have an very good Mayor, understanding of small business and watches over the people who live there. Thank you for sharing
Thank you for creating an escape for me it makes my days just that little bit better in this hard time x
I loved the song played during the first part of the town tour...loved seeing your local town! Stay safe you guys!
Really enjoy your videos! Look forward to them all week! So excited for the hoodies 🤗 really love hearing the snow melting. It's so therapeutic 😊
I’m in NY now and the situation is very different. Thanks for showing us around your area!
I love seeing your mom, Jessica, in the vlog.
From No. California I pray, hope, wish that we all take this really SLOW... we cant afford to re shutdown... REALLY SLOW..
Good to see you guys are doing your best to take care of yourselves & thinking of others love ya guys ☺🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹
So glad you are all keeping safe and well.
Good evening Somers family. Love sent from Jamaica. Love your videos. Thank you and God bless you.
The talk in SoCal is when some of the restrictions are gonna be lifted. I strongly agree with you Bert; I pray for all of our leaders every night and all of the people who are suffering. It must be so scary. I love when you drive around North Pole and when ever you drive around Fairbanks.
Hey Somers family. I'm in the UK and even our drive thru type restaurants such as McDonald's have all been closed for the last 3 weeks.. only essential shops like supermarkets and you have to queue to get in (distanced) one person per family. Crazy times ... praying for you all xx
I feel ya. My house was spotless the first two weeks but now. Nope. Lol. I’ve became soooo blahhh.
It is so amazing how you film places and spots as you go and pan everything. Very professional looking. Absolutey Beautiful! And the music.....SCORE! You guys are doing an amazing job recording and just living life and inviting us in to real life tv.😁 I'm in Wichita Ks and we have many small towns near us and people are suffering. They need to be careful not to put natural death like heart attacks and aneurisms in the category to not cause fear. My friend died on Good Friday of an aneurism. We don't know if they add to make this last longer or not. I fear that some is political which we are thinking with social media which makes me appreciate vlogs like yours to escape the craziness and just stay calm and not lose our buttons. Love you guys so much. God bless you all richly.🙏 Thank you for encouraging words. Happy Spring🌻🌷🌼🌾🌺🦋
When we visited Santa's House 20 years ago, our grandson was 5. He wouldn't let us buy anything because he thought that would mean someone wouldn't get a present for Christmas.
Lol!!! Children are amazing:)
Love watching the melt... and seeing spring starting in Alaska.... Thank you for sharing Happiness in such an unsettled time for everyone.... Very informative Vlog with the Mayor....
GBY ALL with Peace, Good Health & Protection against this Coronavirus 🙏❤💖💖💖💙🤗
Have been isolated with my husband for at least a month or longer. Thankfully we live in a very rural area in the woods, so we get to go out and walk with no contact. We have 827 cases and 29 deaths in Maine and unfortunately not seeing a curve as of yet. Stay safe and be kind, that’s ol we can do!
Wish I had a little property to garden and walk around living in an apartment is boring!
You're channel is such a bright spot during this quarantine! My children (we have 4!) and I love to sit and watch your vlogs together. Thank you for staying positive and reminding us all that God is in control. We appreciate all you do!
Was surprised to see so many cars on the road. I live in a city of 500,000 and the streets are bare. Amazing. Don’t like the reason, but the quiet is nice. Feels like people are reassessing what matters in life. Like staying home and being with family. Making meals instead to so much takeout. I love takeout, but the satisfaction of cooking with more focus has been an unexpected blessing.
California’s governor has been exceptionally responsive and proactive in giving our state the best chance at fighting this crisis. Most counties in my area (Southern California) now require face masks when out in public. I don’t normally have great things to say about our states leaders, but it has been encouraging and hopeful to see them working together for the public’s greater good. Together we can get through this!
Wow Alaska is beautiful!
I'd be interested to hear you speak with some tribal members in your area and get their take on the pandemic. Not only hear about their specific hardships but also serious fears. I'm native in Arizona (Hopi Tribe) and it is so scary knowing that if this enters our villages there is a real threat that our entire tribe could be wiped out. It is such a heavy fear, not only scared for yourself and family but your entire being, way of life, and tribe. I enjoy all your content though. Keep up the good work and best wishes to you and your family.
I have family in Yavapai County (Prescott) who have been keeping us updated on what's going on there!
Praying for you, your family, and your tribe during this time!! I hope you stay safe!
Take care!
Wish I could double like your idea. I live in New Zealand where the Maori suffered greatly during the 1919 pandemic. Some of our remote communities have blocked access to keep safe as they rightly fear a repeat.
I write this as this woman complains about the stains on here deck. My God. what has happened.
My family is on a reservation in South Dakota. I worry for my mom who is an elderly diabetic w/hypertension. She lives farther out from the main community in her own home/on her own land she purchased after retiring from years of work in Alaska. She and her elderly companion of 20+ years (he’s elderly too, retired NYPD officer) are fairly isolated. One of my cousins is staying with them. Mom still goes to the store & to check mail, so that’s scary. The rest of my extended family live in the main community/housing areas and due to housing being scarce, multiple generations & extended family are sharing small homes. If the virus hits there it’s going to be devastating as it’s too hard to isolate. Our tribe closed the casino and worked with the state & Army Corps of engineers to close the fishing docks by the dam, because fishermen from neighboring states were flooding the community, using the store and gas station. They could’ve brought the virus in! There’s a big outbreak in Sioux Falls right now due to one of their packing plants. I hope no tribal members living there brings it back to the reservation. Take precautions & pray is about all we can do.
Rowena Kennington some of our villages are on full lock down or have restricted access. We are all on stay at home orders but even that doesn’t feel like it’s enough. As I said it is such a heavy feeling on my entire soul. I mean as I said some tribes are so small that they are truly in danger of being completely extinguished by this. And there are so many layers to it all as well. For instance the elderly are most at risk for dying from the virus. They are the heart of everything we do. They hold the stories, language, customs and traditions then hand it down to teach of us. The thought of loosing one or many just breaks my heart. Sorry I’ve gone on too long. I know they mentioned the tribes in AK before but they have an opportunity to showcase a side of this all that not many people will every know about so I just thought I’d suggest it.
Hello from Southern California (about 45 mins from L.A.). I’m very nervous about reopening. So many cases still confirmed every day. Thank you for the tour. North Pole is cute I would love to visit someday.
This was great, Jessica and Bert. I love hearing about your community and seeing what it looks like. As far as video ideas, I'd like to learn how you prepare for the warmer months (spring and summer). Are there things you need to do to/for your house? Do you store winter clothing until next year? Are you pulling out spring items? Inquiring minds want to know! :o)
It is really something to watch these vlogs from this particular time. Thanks!
Omg..this is super video and so excited while watching through out the video about how ppl r self isolated and qurintine going in North pole. You both husband and wife teamed up to showcase us the daily lifestyle and interesting part is.. making us to hear form the Mayer of the town . Happy weekend .. Cheers 👍
I love watching! Live in Wisconsin in Green Bay and we're under safe at home until May 26, I think that's the date.
I've been lucky enough to set up working from home with the hospital I work for and pretty much have been at home for about 3 weeks. Stay safe, keep praying, stay positive and we'll all be great again!!!
The tour makes my heart happy. I was booked for a vacation to Seattle in April. When they became a hotspot I was able to add in flights to make it a trip to Alaska. But then with everything going on, it got scrapped all together. I’ll make it up there SOMEDAY!
Ho! Ho! Ho! Santa 🎅🏻 is always essential!
It’s so wonderful to see Alaskans take the social distancing so seriously. I think it’s also because it’s a small town. My parents live in a small town as well and everyone is very polite and keeps their distance. In the city, it’s very different.
I’m late watching this - no new cases in 4 days is amazing. I’m very jealous. In Washington we are extending our social distancing through May because the cases are still in the 100s every day. Thanks for showing us the town - it was weird to see it so quiet.
It was nice to hear that the mayor and governor are going to be cautious. I know we are all anxious to leave home but we have to be careful. The Spanish flu had 2 waves after the first major outbreak was contained.
omg so many memories seeing that place. lived at the air base as a kid and every weekend we would drive by there to go to fairbanks. the first year we lived there the snow fall was so bad the giant santa’s arm fell off. miss alaska so much. it’s so beautiful.
I live here. I’ve lived here for almost 20 years give or take a few semesters in the states .... but your b-role footage of north pole gave me some life. This quarantine-quiet reminds me of how small town Fairbanks/northpole used to be in the late 90s, early 2000s before expansion 😌
Thank you. God Bless All.
You are my highlight to my day! Taking a day at a time. We are in Michigan a lot of cases here. Just keeping faith God is in control never forget ! Blessings
I think all of our lives are limited right now, so just know that we all appreciate any new material you all put out! Thank you 😊 I think it’s interesting that we live in a time where we can all be connected and support each other even in a difficult time. It’s interesting to see how this is affecting everyone and how it is different for all of us.
Loved today with you! Great job setting up the interview! ..Blessings and "air" hugs...lol We're in North Port Florida... love seeing all the snow melt, and the sound of the dripping water!
Following from Rochester, MN. Thanks for the shout out mayor. My wife is a nurse at Mayo Clinic. She thought that was great. My immediate family still live in Alaska.
You guys always have something fun and interesting..and relatable informative stuff! This was great! Enjoy all of your videos.👍💗
I look so forward to y’all videos thank you so much 😊 . My husband took me and our girls to pigeon forge Tennessee to just stay in a cabin in the mountains for the weekend my anxiety has been so bad for weeks now . We live in Chattanooga , Tennessee and we’re still doing our social distancing up here but it sure has been peaceful in the mountains ⛰
Crazy times we're in! Seems everyday now I'm saying to someone, who would ever thought we wouldn't be able to find toilet paper in the stores or wearing a mask everywhere we go?!?
We're in Missouri, thankfully our county has a small(ish) number of confirmed cases but I also know we haven't peaked yet.
Praying for all our state leaders and our President during this time!
Sarah, who's female singer,
I remember my family having the swine flu. I thought we were going to die back then but we all made it through. We will this also. People in China are used to wearing masks because of the pollution. I feel for all the sick everywhere. It feels like we're in a sci-fi movie. Praying for everyone. God bless.
@@colletteboland2984 sorry collette, I have no idea who it is.
I was smiling when I saw the kids get to visit Nana. Your visit with Mayor Mike was very interesting! Mike is a Very intelligent and kind Person. I am encourage to hear North Pole and surrounding areas have Not had a New case of COVID-19 Reported in 4 days. God Bless Everyone there! Stay SAFE and HEALTHY ❤️🙏😇❣️
I've been watching all your older vlogs and I'm finally catching up to more recent vlogs. Watching these videos it's just so wild that we all experienced things like this. Shut downs masks social distancing and feeling isolated. thank God got us all through these crazy times. Yes the world is still crazy but things are seeming a bit more normal than what they were two years ago
I live in Virgina Beach, Va. We have a stay at home order in place til June 10. We have about 5,000 cases in the state and 250 in my city. I work at a grocery store and it does make me nervous. I wish people would listen to the govenor and only send one person to the store and not take the whole family. We are not required to wear mask but I've heard that soon it will be. I'm doing what I can, staying home(watching to much youtube), washing my hands, wearing a mask and gloves. Stay safe everyone and stay home!
Blessings Somers family , i love the sharing , i never feel you are doing limited things . I don't feel alone, we are increasing here , it's scary . I believe if all do our part it would make a difference , you are a shining example of that . Me a do me little part , be safe y'all , Jackie from Jamaica.
You guys are taking this more seriously than us in the lower 48. I'm seeing people here at cookouts and parties. It's not just families but people who don't live together socializing.
Where are you in the Lower 48? I'm in Northern California and we are definitely taking the virus seriously. I have been in my apartment since March 6th. The 2 times I needed to go out there were very few people on the road.
You should call the cops on them. There should not be congregations of more than 10 people.
I been in self isolation for 4 1/2 weeks. And still don’t have hot water yet since a week. But still I’m trying to keep busy, yet not with my housework.....rather watch your videos any time of the day....😁😁😁😁😷
No hot water?! AHHHHHH! That must be terrible.
Why no hot water
I think where the hot water problem probably lies, if things quit functioning properly in your home, it’s not like your vehicle which you can just drop off at a shop, then disinfect when you get it back. If it’s in your home, you have to have people maybe even multiple people come in your home to fix it. These may be strangers or not. Sure you can get them to wear masks and disinfect, but then still your little safe haven where you can not stress as much is compromised.
I’m glad my BF is my handyman in just about everything, thank goodness.
Ms Lynn hope you get your hot water back
Hot water.....either need a washer or a new stem......apt maintenance and management say it’s not emergency, so say it can wait. I’m about to call local health department or go above heads and get the head office involved. Despite what I researched, believe hot water is a necessity in a pandemic
You could do a Family talent show. It would give the kids something to practise and work on and we all know you have some talents in your family its always uplifting to see them.
My daughter and I work at Disneyland and its been really hard and very sad for all of us but we no that the Happiest place on Earth will reopen again. Be safe. God bless
Bert you do such a great job at asking questions. You are a natural.
In Kentucky, our cases have to decline for at least 14 days before anything can try to start opening. Our cases are still going up, but may be starting to level off. This is truly a nightmare. We have an awesome Governor and couldn’t be getting through this without him.Stay safe!
Here in New Mexico we had 115 new cases yesterday alone. We haven't even hit the peak yet. Glad to see there is a light at the end of the tunnel. Stay safe everyone.🙏
We got extended to May 15, Kansas City Missouri. Prayers for y'all and everyone else in our beautiful blessed world! Keep smiling!
In your last vlog everywhere was snow-covered, I can't believe how quickly its disappearing. Your town is so cute. Stay safe.
Here in my state of KY we are nowhere near opening from what I’ve heard. We have had a smallish number of cases compared to our surrounding states.
That is the true definition of being cautiously optimistic.
in my county in South Carolina we have been shut in since March 18th and I'm about to go crazy. So ready to sit down and eat at a restaurant again. lol I got word last week that I get to go back to work part time starting the 27th!!! Praise the Lord! Y'all stay safe out there.
You are the most positive folks EVER! bless you for your great videos! Your mayor is very wise....
Hi, our little town has had 3 cases so far. I really enjoy watching your videos, seeing the outdoors. I myself won't go out until I'm sure it is safe (I am very high risk to catch it and if I do the outcome would be death) I'm glad you are staying safe and taking all the precautions. You all stay safe and GOD BLESS YOU.
For the porch spot where the water drills down, you could lay outdoor rug down, husband can get 3 or 4 rain spout and just elevate in a way that it drians down and away from the foundation...
Yes we want hoodies shopping in line so much fun these day 🥰🇨🇦
Our island governor has been doing her best during this pandemic. Medical needs are being flown in for both our hospitals and the military hospital here. Haven't seen new cases for a few days but we can't let our guard down just yet. Glad to hear that your area is doing the same. Love from the island of Guam 🌴.
So glad you all could get out for a bit . :) Would love to see all of you'll being taught by Eveylnn to crochet lesson that would be cool to see. :) And love to see everyone do a new craft they have always wanted to try one day. :) You all are so cool family and so smart and so wise love you all , I love seeing the north pole area again I feel like I am right there with you all so beautiful. :) Hugs and love toni g. :)
Glad you had such a good plan in effect.
I would love to hear about how you prep for the spring and summer- Do you have something you have to do in/or outside your house to make it trough spring/summer? What are you cooking now when you have limited items to use? Do you exercise anything in your garage? 🌞
Hey there, I know how you guys love fun projects so I think I have one for you. The place where the rain is washing away the color on your porch you might be able to put a raised bed/ flower bed . It would make the porch look great and the water will water the plants. Make a solution out of the problem as Justin Rhoads says lol. You could have a kitchen garden or just flowers.either way what ever you decide , I know it will look great. Thank you for all you do and for the inspiration you all give. Have a blessed day.
I made myself a cleaning schedule right away. Because I know myself and I knew if I didn’t hold myself accountable I’d totally slack. A few times I’ve been thrown off of it and it drives me crazy. I followed it to a t this week and I felt so good!
I live in Central Florida just 11 miles from Walt Disney World & our Governor just opened up Jacksonville Beach but just for walking, running, swimming but no sitting on the beach. We went to the park on Saturday & some people were wearing masks & some were not however everyone was social distancing themselves. It was very nice to see people walking around, running & bicycle 🚴. We took our camping chairs & sat under a tree, away from the sidewalk. It was nice to feel the sun again.
Homeschooling tips would be great! Love the video! 💜
Here in Pennsylvania there are over 31,000 cases and over 800 deaths. Our county has over 1700 cases. and rising. We are 50 miles outside Philadelphia and 3 hours west of NYC. I am praying that this starts to change soon . Stay safe.😢❤
Here in North Calif it is now mandatory to wear a mask when out in public.
Same here in New York
Should be that way in SC but sadly many walk right up to others and and don’t abide by the signs put in place about lanes of travel and social distancing within the grocery stores.
Super interesting to see North Pole! I wouldn’t have guessed you would have McDonald’s, Starbucks etc!
This is my first comment I’ve been watching a couple of months now. Love your channel ❤️. I am from Minnesota about 30 miles from Rochester we’re Mayo is. I work in Rochester. It was so nice to hear that Mayo Client is helping a state that far away. Stay safe
Seeing North Pole makes me miss being there. I hope I get to visit in the next couple years.
Great video Somers & love watching whats going on in other states so thanks for taking us along just be safe out there & lots of prayers for everyone I'm in Pa and I'm basically out of the community in the woods like you guys haven't gone anywhere unless I absolutely have to but we do have alot of cases here in Pa so everyone please mask up when out I've seen so many people without masks when I've been out🙏❤😷
In Virginia we just pasted 8000 cases. Today we had 600 new cases. We are not flattening the Curve yet. Northam said he will not open up any part of Virginia until the state see a decline in new cases for at least 2 weeks
Thank you for the tour of North Pole. I have family up there. My grandparents had their picture taken in front of Santa’s house in 1964 when their youngest son and his wife moved up there. Two of my uncles and their families lived/live up there. My dream is to come up to visit family. I’m in PA.
Hear you about those leggings! Here in Tasmania we are the same only difference no snow yet. Love hearing about the other side of the earth. Keep safe and well x
Santa Claus house should be essential!!!
I am in CT so we are working together with NY and NJ. Extended until May 20th
Happy Friday, Somers. I’m hope y’all are having a nice, safe day. Lots of snow are melting in Fairbanks and North Pole. I’m glad the snow is melting after a long snowy season. You Somers continue on staying safe and healthy from the COVID 19. Also, continue on your road on getting that Giant Gold Play Button. That Gold Play Button will definitely have your names on it.
Hey guys. Prayers for all and glad to see you all well. Yes prayers does a whole lot. I’m from East Tennessee. We have I think last count in this county called Washington county 49 it goes up 1 to 4 a day there’s been a few days it don’t gain and then we get bad. Our traffic is down and there are lesser car accidents. Or restaurants like you all you have to go through drive thru and some will deliver. No salons are open most all things closed except Walmart and grocery stores , the good ole dollar stores stuff like that. I’ve been out 3 times since this had been around. Most people are staying home but we always have a few. My daughter works at a hospital and it’s essential. We have had quite a lot of the virus in Tennessee. I’m praying for all of us. I’m a 55 yr old widow my husband passed almost 7 yrs ago. I love what you all bring to us from Alaska it sure us beautiful and I bet the wildlife is beautiful. It’s 2:30 am here and I’m Half asleep but seen you all posted. Stay safe and take care. God Bless.
We had odd/even days for going out for essential business in April! It helped our county flatten the curb in our area!
Alaska reminds me of the way NZ went ...hard and fast ...Australia where I am was 2 weeks behind ..yesterday my state had only 1 case but 17 today so hopefully it’s not going back up again
I lived in Fairbanks / Fort Wainwright back in the 80s. I lived in North Pole Alaska for a few months....my brother in law and his family live in Wasilla
I am in Pennsylvania, and starting tomorrow, Sunday April 19th, it will be required that when entering an essential business you must wear a mask. If you dont you cant enter. All employees are now also wearing masks and gloves. And alot of the places also now have a plexiglass barrier between workers and patrons.
I absolutely love your jumpers! Would be perfect up here in Scotland💜
I LITERALLY just posted on my FB page how "normal" has changed because I now have to remind my son to put on his mask when he leaves the house (walk the dog or take out the trash, not just when going IN populated areas). My youngest has Down Syndrome and I have health issues that make our immune systems at risk, and I count my blessings that I have such a wonderful son who is willing to help his mom and sister during this time.
Your town is actually pretty large! Thanks for sharing.😊
Blessings from 🇮🇹ROCHESTER, NEW YORK🇺🇸 ✝️💟☮️
I'm in Texas and they are opening stuff that people threw fits about, not necessarily what's most wise and important, hope and pray everything is better soon
I’m soo happy to hear that things are getting better for you guys up there!! I was wondering if you guys sell the masks that you make I would like to buy some! Thank you!
Thank y'all so much from Arkansas! My little escape from everything! Every time I watch y'all, I want to move there! lol I am that all year round Christmas person! lol Hope y'all have an awesome week!
Love your truth, laughter and joy🌸
Yes I want a red hoodie ! XL
North Carolina has approximately 6000 cases now. Not sure we've reached our peak yet. Stay at home order right now through end of April. Schools closed through May 15. I'm a 7th grade science teacher who is now teaching 92 students online & homeschooling my own 2nd grader who is autistic. Stores limit the number of customers they will allow in stores at one time - my daughter & I had to wait to go inside Target the other day. More & more people wearing masks - probably more people wearing them than not. All drive thrus & check outs now have the plexiglass between the front line workers & customers. Hardest thing for me is making sure my older parents are safe - my dad is battling cancer so he already was dealing with a compromised immune system
My mom has been hospitalized for a kidney infection and we cant go visit her for obvious reasons. So true that 2 months ago we never would have imagined life would become this way.
I live in Lancaster, PA. We have at least 1100, new cases, everyday. It’s crazy for me to see that you guys, haven’t had a 1 new case in 4 days.
Hi Jessica you need to watch after you having cancer hun. We have been on lockdown for weeks. Hospital don't allow visitors. We are allowed to go out for half hour exercise walk every day. Am not off work as I work with the NHS so it's all hands down. Keep 6ft apart and only go out if need so. STAY SAFE 🌈🌈🌈🌈
Christine Fisher the NHS are doing a fantastic job. Every Thursday night we go outside at 8 pm and show our appreciation by clapping for you all. Take care and stay safe.
Your break up is happening so fast!!
Do you have flooding with all the snow melting at the same time?
It's amazing how fast it's happening!
We love you all and thank you so much for sharing the update with your mayor.
Winning phrase of 2020 " I wore jeans today during quarantine... Just because all my leggings are dirty" 👍 us too girl 😆
I put em on when I go to the grocery story ha!
I’ve gained the Covid-19 so my jeans don’t fit.
