I grew up without a/c… so when I moved to Florida… I froze in any place that had a/c… fast forward to 37 years living in Florida… I can’t imagine my life without A/c … I love heat more than cold, but love that if I get too hot, I can get in the a/c and cool off. I keep my house at 77 during the day, but at night I set the a/c at 68 because I am going through menopause…. And I still have night sweats 😩
Breaks my heart to hear that story of your step dad and the AC. I’m sorry you dealt with that. How can parents be so awful to children. You turned out to be such an amazing person despite it. You’re awesome and should be proud. ❤️
Geez your step dad was a Meanie. I’m so sorry to hear that people are really like that but the Amazing thing is that you have overcome all of that and you are so successful in your job and as a wife and Mom..Thank you for sharing with us .Love it when you travel and of course watching you cook😊😊😊😊
Omg…I did bone in pork chops in the air fryer for the first time. 12 minutes at 400° with a flip halfway. I have never had a pork chop so JUICY, as I am notorious for over cooking them. Yum!!!
I totally agree with you on front load washers. I will take my washer that has an agitator in it! Loved your video, and hope you enjoyed your vacation!💖
I had a front loader before and now have the same exact set as you and I LOVE it! And I know this sounds crazy coming from a stranger, but I am proud of you for having some therapy...I think every single person on the planet could benefit from it!!!!
Yes, a vacation with kids is actually a business trip and not a vacation. I am glad you enjoyed visiting Kansas City. I live in a major suburb of Kansas City on the Kansas side. Today is cooler and cloudy, but the heat is returning in a couple days. Safe travels for your business trips.
Totally agree about the washer! Front loaders are awful. I have an old-school Speed Queen top loader. That thing is a workhorse! I swear I could mix cement in it.
I always wanted a front load washer! Got it.. HATE IT!!!! Love yours, wish I had it. Wish I had your shower too…but then I would never get out of it so wouldn’t need washer! Love y’all!!!♥️🐾 kisses Murphy🦴
Despite what you went thru as a child your a generous person! I love watching your channel! Your kids are great kids as well! I love Murphy! I just recently lost my beagle granddog Rex he lived with me. He was 16 years old such a great dog! I lost my mom year ago! I miss her dearly! Blessing to your family! 💜🤗👩🏻🦱🙌🏻
Sue here: Lol I'm with you - only top loaders for me!!! And give me a cup of coffee and a cookbook any day and I'm 😊 !!! LOVE cookbooks ... love to read them. Wish you could blog vlog video every day, Jen - 👍.
OMG!!! YOU SOUND LIKE ME.. I GREW UP WITH ONLY WINDOW units.. and being that my mom was a single parent she did not want us to run them so much bc the bill would be soooo high... So i remember saying that when I grow i will NEVERRRR be HOT AGAIN!!!!!!!!! and I dont!!!! I keep my air on 71 and I refuse to be hot again in my own home. 🤣
I love reading cookbooks, especially the Pioneer Woman cookbooks. I also checked out your cookbook from the library. I really liked it. I live in Kansas City. It's fun to hear you talk about visiting there.😊
In the 1960’s cars didn’t come with AC. I remember my stepdad going to Sears and having an AC unit out in his car as we were driving down to VA for a family vacation. I didn’t have AC in a car until I bought my 1992 Ford Escort and my first apartment to have Central AC until 1992. So I can relate to your AC stories.Are they doing a lot of road construction in your state? Every road in SE MI is tire up! It’s so hard to get around when they do that. In Michigan they say there are two seasons, Winter and Construction Season. Hopefully they will fix the roads correctly this time, especially since they got all this money from the Federal Government for the pandemic. Great video Jen. I can’t believe how fast the Summer is going. I am with you on the front load washing machine. I heard they can get a funky smell that can transfer to your clothing. I will stick with the top loader . Thanks Jen.
Thank you so much for sharing, it's always a treat and I give your videos a thumbs up before I even watch them. But just a side note, what goes on at the doggie kennel? Why is Murphy so worn out, are they not feeding him, poor baby hunting for stray french fries..... He had a big smile, so I should stop jumping to conclusions 🐶🥰🥰
I ONLY make baked potatoes in the air fryer now. In 30 minutes I have 6 baked potatoes ready (for my family of 6!) Takes so much longer in the oven and heats up the whole house which I refuse to do during these hot Kansas City summers. 🥵
What horrible childhood memories. Sorry about that Jen. Isn’t it interesting that you say you won’t do what your parents did and be like them? I had pretty good parents, although my mom was a control freak (yes, I had a parent like that too) but her controlling really didn’t show up until I was closer to adult. It showed up in different ways. She didn’t’ make us suffer in the heat but she was always finding other ways to control. We had an in-window fan and an air conditioner that my dad put in in May and took it out in September My parents spanked me. I said I would never do that to my child. I actually did it one time when Trevor was in 3rd grade. I cried for hours after. Swore I would never d it again, I never did. My washer broke on the first day of my staycation,. We ordered a new one the other day. I still went with top load (I agree it is better) and it has some bells and whistles. Getting it delivered this Thursday. Yeah. Been to the laundromat 2x in the last 2 weeks, Can’t wait to be able to do my own laundry again. I read cookbooks in bed too! Right now I am reading the latest Good Eats book from Alton Brown. Just finished the latest Sam The Cooking Guy book. So much fun. I can’t wait to get cooking!
I have front loaders with the bases because I am disabled and it is perfect height for my wheelchair. My dogs were always exhausted after coming home from the kennel. They don't rest well away from home. Poor Murphy! Yes, min's don't get a break when on a family vacation. I do not miss traveling for work at all!
My mom turned the AC off at night even if it was 100+ during the day. We got wash cloths wet and just moved it around on our skin and sat in front of the fan. 🤣😂 Was just in England during the heat wave. No AC where we were staying. Ugh. It's often over 100 degrees in the summer where I live but have AC everywhere.
Hey Great to see you on the day in the life again! I love seeing your content no matter what it is. I would like to see what your morning routine is, 5 am is pretty early .. anyways have a great week!
I haven’t been vacation with my husband since We had our kids. I mean we went to Great Wolf Lodge in PA with kids but just two of us it’s been a long time.
Not a fan either or side loaders. They need so much maintenance and the seal get so nasty and moldy and they have more issues. I love my top loaders. Tried so many and I stand by my decision. Plus I use to sell appliances. 😁😍
It breaks my heart that people will use the name of God and turn around and treat people the way they do. I truly hope people know that people like your step dad do not speak for true Christians, and they certainly do not speak for Jesus. 💔
Same, I hate front loaders too, got rid of mine and went back to my top loader. Thought I was the only one. I hate the seals. And I’m tall and they are harder to load.
I like the top loader too. I roomed with friends for a year and they had the front loader. It was hard to load and empty. I guess you can purchase a stand for them that might make it easier but I will always have a top loader.
Your coming to NC! I live about a hour from there. Miss your weekend prep videos but I understand your super busy. Life never ends for us working moms.
Jen! Watching ur videos again after about 6 months. Ur teeth are looking so straight n ur eyebrows look good! Glad to hear ur staying busy with work and family, it’s our reality too. Keep ur head up n remember u got this! Back to basics! Love ya!
If you ever have the opportunity - visit the Churchill War Rooms in London. We went as a family when my daughter was heading off to a Study-A-Broad experience during college. We only had the chance to spend several hours there but could have easily spent an entire day. It was fascinating! I've added the WW1 museum to my list!
Our youngest son lived in Kansas City for around 3 years. He moved up there for work straight from college. We went up there one time and visited with him. Was able to meet his colleagues and attend a Kansas City Royals baseball game. It was very hot also but also got very cold there in the winter. He decided to move closer to home because of the cold and most of the travel he did was in the very cold winter months where he had to climb up on the roofs of buildings to check to make sure everything was connected correctly for the internet and freezers for the software to boot up correctly when they upgraded to newer software. He froze his hinny off because he was used to our Alabama weather but learned very quickly to bundle up! Hope you have a great trip to Alabama when you come.
Serums under moisturizer allows it to work it’s special magic on your skin, same with the salicylic acid. Loved the log, I’m a recipe book reader, the one you shared looks good!
Jen I’m not kidding you I watch video after video of yours. You are inspiring and are so down to earth and relatable! I feel as tho I’m hanging out with a friend 😊🙏 ~Bekah
Sorry to hear about your step-dad and the air condition. Ours is still broken. We're trying to stay cool with a window unit and a fan. My hubby is on oxygen 24-7 so we're trying to keep him cool as possible. The heat this summer has been unbearable but we're hoping to get it fixed soon.
Exercise, stand and move are the Apple Watch rings. Great job on closing them all! I have closed mine almost every day since the end of January when we adopted our pitbull. He gets 2 20 minute walks every day.
Lol. I can remember no ac in the car in oz in the outback. You’d put the seatbelt on. And you’d forget to be careful. And it was literally a brand of the seat belt on your hip or leg. Omg will never forget. Aircon for us was an open window. Needless to say I LOVE a summer storm
The trick to the front loader machines is to have the “risers” to lift them up to the right height. Basically it is a drawer that the machines sit on top of. I love my front loaders and have had them for about 8 years. Glad you had a good trip to JC-we were there in April for a wedding and had fun. We love Jack Stack and Gates BBQ.
Hi Jen!! So glad you had a good time in KC! You are way more organized than I will ever be! But at my age, (68) I figure WTH. Lol. Honestly I just don't know how you do it all! You do it well and you make it work beautifully! I'm so sorry your Step-dad was such a jerk. I had an ex-husband that sounds similar in different ways. "Control" seemed to be his motto. Anyway, glad you're home safe and sound! I loved the pictures you showed. Your son is growing up so fast! Such a cutie! We haven't gotten to see your dear daughter lately! I always love seeing your sweet Murphy! Such a good boy! Take care and be safe in your travels for work. There's a lot going on in this world right now and it's not all good. God bless you and your family always! Thanks for sharing! Hugs!!
It's so interesting the specific memories that come up at times. We didn't have air conditioning coming up, but it was because of the cost. We had fans. A baked potato actually sounds really good.
So I live In Davenport and I’m a nursing student so I absolutely love you beside the point DO NOT BUY A FRONT LOAD washer or dryer my husband and I hate it… so much work to keep it clean and also just never completely cleaned to my standard it’s a frustration just for normal washes but I love your fresh thyme hauls because it’s less than a mile from me but hyvee is just so convenient I forget to check what they have
I had to get a new washer about 4 years ago mine was on its way out, couldn't find one with an agitator anywhere. I look for months. I finally gave up. Had to by one without an agitator. It still gets the clothes clean you can wash more clothes at one time (no agitator in the middle, more room) The only down side is your clothes end up in a ball and you have to untangle them everytime. ❤️ from Canada 🇨🇦.
I hate my front loader, keeping the seal clean is terrible. It’s clean for 3 days then it smells like mildew even with all the tricks of leaving everything open. Constant battles with the thing.
The only people that can relate to what you went thru with issues of basic necessities such as air conditioning in the summer time, especially in times of heat waves. I went through a very similar situation as that.
Thank you for sharing with us that part of your childhood that makes you hate the heat in summer. Not everyone has that kind of childhood memories but those of us who do feel better, being able to share them and knowing that we were not alone in those little big things that we have to suffer in our childhood and adolescence because of the type of father they have. Greetings.
You can get top loading washers without agitators. I feel like my clothes, especially the more delicate stuff, just gets washed more gently while still getting clean
After having a front loader washer for the past few years, I can honestly say that I'm leaving it being when I sell my house. I will be buying a top loader unless the house I buy has one already. I desperately miss it.
I hit my rings today on my Fitbit, and do indeed read cookbooks I've bought online before bed while listening to the sound of waves crashing on shore, after watching your videos!!! ... Soooo relaxing!!!
Do you put your hair up in a shirt?? Yes ... unfortunately I wash mine in the morning and go to the gas station and drive thru on the way to work with my hair like that 🤣
GOD bless you, for being determined to become a success, no matter what you went through during your childhood. THANK YOU, for sharing the story of that part of your childhood with us. You should write a book about your life. It could be encouragement to sooooo many people. It would let them know to be strong and that they do not have to succumb to their bad childhood experiences. You are a great example of what perseverance looks like. Thank you, thank you, thank you. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
I grew up without a/c… so when I moved to Florida… I froze in any place that had a/c… fast forward to 37 years living in Florida… I can’t imagine my life without A/c … I love heat more than cold, but love that if I get too hot, I can get in the a/c and cool off.

Yes, it makes me want to cry. But thank God, she overcame it and she's out here shining and sharing.
Geez your step dad was a Meanie. I’m so sorry to hear that people are really like that but the Amazing thing is that you have overcome all of that and you are so successful in your job and as a wife and Mom..Thank you for sharing with us .Love it when you travel and of course watching you cook😊😊😊😊

I totally agree with you on front load washers. I will take my washer that has an agitator in it! Loved your video, and hope you enjoyed your vacation!💖
You have gone through much growing up,yet the amazing strong determined women you have become is absolutely inspirational. Blessings
Yes, I feel the same way!! I’ve wondered for years why Starbucks doesn’t have more sugar free options?!? I would honestly go there more if they did!!!
Yay, was going to bed, but decided to stay up and watch a “Jen” video, because it is totally worth staying up for!!! 💕👍
Love your videos . I grew up with a controlling dad also . Abusive , to my mom physically and mentally . So happy she left him when I was 10
Murphy is adorable. They are so part of the family.
Murphy looked so happy to be home ❤️ Your vacation looked like a lot of fun. Hope you have a great week!
Love when you take us along with you in a normal day....loved my Murphy fix😘
I had a front loader before and now have the same exact set as you and I LOVE it! And I know this sounds crazy coming from a stranger, but I am proud of you for having some therapy...I think every single person on the planet could benefit from it!!!!

Murphy missed you guys you can tell!!!! I agree about the front loaders they are horrible!
Sue here: Lol I'm with you - only top loaders for me!!! And give me a cup of coffee and a cookbook any day and I'm 😊 !!! LOVE cookbooks ... love to read them. Wish you could blog vlog video every day, Jen - 👍.
As long as they make top loaders with agitators...that's what I'll have. My 14 year old $300 dryer is still doing its job 🤣
OMG!!! YOU SOUND LIKE ME.. I GREW UP WITH ONLY WINDOW units.. and being that my mom was a single parent she did not want us to run them so much bc the bill would be soooo high... So i remember saying that when I grow i will NEVERRRR be HOT AGAIN!!!!!!!!! and I dont!!!! I keep my air on 71 and I refuse to be hot again in my own home. 🤣

The rim around my front loader would get DISGUSTING! Plus, I felt like things never got that clean in it.
My dogs Story (9) and Scout (2) always come back from the doggy hotel super tired! This time we got them both shampoos and they look so nice! 💕💙
I have front loaders with the bases because I am disabled and it is perfect height for my wheelchair. My dogs were always exhausted after coming home from the kennel.

Why Kansas City? I’m from Missouri and wonder why people choose to come here lol. Have family there?
Hey Great to see you on the day in the life again! I love seeing your content no matter what it is.
I would like to see what your morning routine is, 5 am is pretty early .. anyways have a great week!
I haven’t been vacation with my husband since We had our kids. I mean we went to Great Wolf Lodge in PA with kids but just two of us it’s been a long time.
I’ve been to Jack Stack many times but not Q39. There is one not far from me in Overland Park, so we will have to try it
Wow! Hotter than hot- that’s where we’ve been too, Texas has been boiling. Thankfully rain has come but know it’s a sauna. It is what it is 🙂
I saw your photos on IG and they looked amazing. Thank you for sharing
Not a fan either or side loaders. They need so much maintenance and the seal get so nasty and moldy and they have more issues.

Baked potatoes are amazing in the air fryer, especially if you like the skin crispy!

Your coming to NC! I live about a hour from there. Miss your weekend prep videos but I understand your super busy. Life never ends for us working moms.
Jen I remember when u got those sheets there so cute for her ,I love those !! Ur daughters so sweet n pretty growing up fast ...🌻
Holy crap Jen… where in Alabama… I would love to meet you❤️
Jen! Watching ur videos again after about 6 months. Ur teeth are looking so straight n ur eyebrows look good! Glad to hear ur staying busy with work and family, it’s our reality too. Keep ur head up n remember u got this! Back to basics! Love ya!
I got the cutest Lily Pulitzer towel wrap as a gift. It is so lightweight and stays in place!
Your stepdad is an awful person. Thanks for sharing something so personal
I know this sounds weird but cottage cheese on the baked potato is delicious. 😉
Top loader all the way. Especially better for cloth diapers imo
If you ever have the opportunity - visit the Churchill War Rooms in London. We went as a family when my daughter was heading off to a Study-A-Broad experience during college. We only had the chance to spend several hours there but could have easily spent an entire day. It was fascinating! I've added the WW1 museum to my list!
My ex was that way. My dad wasn’t around after I was born hardly ever.
Hate front loader washing machine
Our youngest son lived in Kansas City for around 3 years. He moved up there for work straight from college. We went up there one time and visited with him. Was able to meet his colleagues and attend a Kansas City Royals baseball game. It was very hot also but also got very cold there in the winter. He decided to move closer to home because of the cold and most of the travel he did was in the very cold winter months where he had to climb up on the roofs of buildings to check to make sure everything was connected correctly for the internet and freezers for the software to boot up correctly when they upgraded to newer software. He froze his hinny off because he was used to our Alabama weather but learned very quickly to bundle up! Hope you have a great trip to Alabama when you come.
I really don't want to watch you putting on mascara
Americano's are me absolute favorite.
Serums under moisturizer allows it to work it’s special magic on your skin, same with the salicylic acid. Loved the log, I’m a recipe book reader, the one you shared looks good!
💕
I love your travel vlogs! I wish you would do more!
Jen I’m not kidding you I watch video after video of yours. You are inspiring and are so down to earth and relatable! I feel as tho I’m hanging out with a friend 😊🙏 ~Bekah
Aw thank you!
I just had to say your teeth are looking so great!
My dogs are always exhausted when they come home from the kennel.
Always enjoy when you do these types of videos!!!
Sorry to hear about your step-dad and the air condition. Ours is still broken. We're trying to stay cool with a window unit and a fan. My hubby is on oxygen 24-7 so we're trying to keep him cool as possible. The heat this summer has been unbearable but we're hoping to get it fixed soon.
Praying for you and your Hubby Alma.
@@anitatucker8812 thank you Anita.
Hi Murphy!! Sweet boy!
Love love love these videos!!!!!
This reminded me of the old school closet chat videos which I’ve missed! Thanks for the video, Jen!
Exercise, stand and move are the Apple Watch rings. Great job on closing them all! I have closed mine almost every day since the end of January when we adopted our pitbull. He gets 2 20 minute walks every day.
Heyyyy and Happy Sunday love your video ❤️❤️
😮
Team top loader 🙌
❤ Murphy!!!
❤️
Lol. I can remember no ac in the car in oz in the outback. You’d put the seatbelt on. And you’d forget to be careful. And it was literally a brand of the seat belt on your hip or leg. Omg will never forget. Aircon for us was an open window. Needless to say I LOVE a summer storm
The trick to the front loader machines is to have the “risers” to lift them up to the right height. Basically it is a drawer that the machines sit on top of. I love my front loaders and have had them for about 8 years. Glad you had a good trip to JC-we were there in April for a wedding and had fun. We love Jack Stack and Gates BBQ.
Hi Jen!! So glad you had a good time in KC! You are way more organized than I will ever be! But at my age, (68) I figure WTH. Lol. Honestly I just don't know how you do it all! You do it well and you make it work beautifully! I'm so sorry your Step-dad was such a jerk. I had an ex-husband that sounds similar in different ways. "Control" seemed to be his motto. Anyway, glad you're home safe and sound! I loved the pictures you showed. Your son is growing up so fast! Such a cutie! We haven't gotten to see your dear daughter lately! I always love seeing your sweet Murphy! Such a good boy! Take care and be safe in your travels for work. There's a lot going on in this world right now and it's not all good. God bless you and your family always! Thanks for sharing! Hugs!!
It's so interesting the specific memories that come up at times. We didn't have air conditioning coming up, but it was because of the cost. We had fans. A baked potato actually sounds really good.
Omg Jen! Would you do a meet up in Charlotte?? Also would highly recommend Quartino in Chicago for delicious cocktails and pasta!
So I live In Davenport and I’m a nursing student so I absolutely love you beside the point DO NOT BUY A FRONT LOAD washer or dryer my husband and I hate it… so much work to keep it clean and also just never completely cleaned to my standard it’s a frustration just for normal washes but I love your fresh thyme hauls because it’s less than a mile from me but hyvee is just so convenient I forget to check what they have

So good to see you again, Jen! Your upcoming work schedule sounds very busy; take some time for yourself to relax and decompress when you can 💓
After having a front loader washer for the past few years, I can honestly say that I'm leaving it being when I sell my house. I will be buying a top loader unless the house I buy has one already. I desperately miss it.
I hit my rings today on my Fitbit, and do indeed read cookbooks I've bought online before bed while listening to the sound of waves crashing on shore, after watching your videos!!! ... Soooo relaxing!!!
Love when you post day in life vlogs!! Glad you and your family had a fun vacation !!
I’m short so I love the front load but you do have to keep it open after washing so it won’t mold/mildew.
Do you put your hair up in a shirt?? Yes ... unfortunately I wash mine in the morning and go to the gas station and drive thru on the way to work with my hair like that 🤣
I'm from Scotland and we only have front loaders, no too loader as an option. Love to see this day in the life. X
Fitbit has the rings too, but I never thought of it in the way you explained for Apple watches 😂
Hey gurl hey!!! I missed u the past week. Glad to see h back!!!
Missed your videos Jen, I was really happy to see a new one appear. You look great. Good luck Over the next few weeks with family and work travels.
Baked potatoes in the air fryer are outstanding, but it still takes about 30 minutes when you do 4 or 5 😂
Glad you had a good vacation. I've been missing you. Have a good night.
GOD bless you, for being determined to become a success, no matter what you went through during your childhood. THANK YOU, for sharing the story of that part of your childhood with us. You should write a book about your life. It could be encouragement to sooooo many people. It would let them know to be strong and that they do not have to succumb to their bad childhood experiences. You are a great example of what perseverance looks like. Thank you, thank you, thank you. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Why am I such a podunk yokel that I was AMAZED by a 7 minute baked potato?!?! 😂
