I mentioned that l was able to save $500 a month because of Christine and l thought l might explain how. I found her channel last year during emergency preparedness month and l was interested in long term food storage. I really enjoyed her content it reinforces my cooking from scratch upbringing. I am retired living on 1800.00 a month so saving $500 took a few months to master, but l did find success in the last four months and l think lve finally learned to stop wasting money, the big things use what you have. Freeze food for later little things add up like dry beans rather than canned beans. I never eat out anymore and l am losing weight, l don’t buy any drinks but milk, tea, coffee. Yes it’s hard sometimes but it feels so good to see that savings grow. I keep things in my Amazon cart, l do no spend weeks every month. If l can do it with her techniques anyone can. Thanks Christine you’re a treasure! I hope your cold goes away asap!
My mum made school lunches for me til I finished high school and got me up for school every day and we had breakfast together every morning All of those are special memories and times for me
@@brett9778 she really was - one for the books - she passed ten years ago when she was 63 and I always wish I had more time - she was a card and her funeral was so full a lot of people had to stand at the back - that’s how many lives she touched
Bluey is the best show on tv, not just kids show, all around amazing show. My husband and I are more into it than our 3yo. Its funny and moving, i always feel better after one episode, and they are like 8 minutes long.
My husband and I schedule the spend so we have fun to look forward to but it’s paid for so there’s no stress or guilt about it. We are going to celebrate when our house mortgage breaks under $100k. No the house isn’t paid off but it’s a big win that deserves celebration.
"Everyone else can be a grown up" is the advice I needed 25 years ago! It would have saved me sooooo much guilt and anguish! I'm 45 now, and hearing that today is going to make life WAY easier!
Oh my gosh!! "Having 4 kids feels like being pecked to death by chickens." THAT'S EXACTLY what I used to tell my husband!!! We had 4 babies in 5.5 years, and it was EXHAUSTING! But, I wouldn't trade it for anything!!
I was Stephenie Meyers' youth leader when she was 15. Her brother Jacob was my son's bestie when they were 4. Great family! As you get older you will like a Kindle more. I get a headache from trying to read small print for very long, and being able to adjust the page is awesome. I still love books, but I need large print of everything!
For what it's worth, we just started homeschooling late in the game and IT'S THE BEST. We can NEVER get time back. Time is the one commodity you can't make more of. ❤
Oh my Christine I seriously just had hand surgery and was hospitalized for 10 days. I know the PAIN!! I also had the exact type of family member in mine that just caused destruction and chaos everywhere. And don't get me started on her materialism. Oh my I could go on. I have HORRIBLE insomnia. My back is fractured at L4 and L5, and I've had my bed replaced 2xs in 3 years . Did not help and it'll be a minute before I can purchase a Helix. I know many in my life that need to be grown ups, literally sucking the life out of me. I need solutions so I 'll be watching. Thank you Christine
My mom told me to pick your fights. If it's important to you then try your best to get your spouse to understand how important it is to you. Otherwise walk away if it's something that's not worth the fight.
I am 55, and my emergency fund got hit by a bunch of things happening at once. We were doing well, and everything hit at once. I'm more than a little shook now.
A little at a time. I have to deal with this too, work injury plus 96 hour power outage took out the fridge! Just what I need this week plus a tiny bit more
I’m so sorry I missed the live. I was at work and couldn’t watch!! So I’m walking around looking at the mess I need to clean with an earbud in listening to you!! What better motivation than Christine!? It’s really chilly where you are!! It’s been 80 all week in VA and muggy!!! Always so muggy!! My grandson is in basic training at Ft Moore GA and it’s been 90 there!!! I hope everyone has a blessed and happy Memorial Day weekend!! Big thank you to all of our troops, past and present!!!! God Bless America!!!🇺🇸 ❤
I love your lives but have to watch them after the fact because they always happen when I’m at work. I’ve learned a ton from you. I am not a Walmart person (don’t get me started on that place) and I don’t shop at Costco but I still love watching those videos. I shop at Aldi and am a member at BJs Wholesale club. Can’t wait to check out your new membership.
I hope you feel better soon! While I agree that you shouldn’t bash your spouse to other people, sometimes it is helpful to get advice from couples that have been married longer. We’ve been married 14 years, if it wasn’t for talking it out/ venting to someone else, I’m not sure where we’d be. When I talk to somebody about something going on with my spouse, I’m very careful not to name call, bash, etc. I just want the advice. Sometimes it helps come up with a compromise that works, that neither my spouse nor I have thought of. You do have to be very careful about it though. Know your audience! For example, I learned that my mom and my best friend are the best at it rather than some of my other friends/family.
hi christine! about the dragon fruit… native floridian here who grows them, and i can assure you that vine ripened dragon fruit is amazing. the fresh fruit in the produce isle was picked while green and that’s why it tastes like disappointment! can’t speak for frozen bc i’ve never needed to purchase but i’d imagine it is picked ripe so probs way better! i’ve been watching for a long time now but this is my first comment. i enjoy your content and appreciate your hard work.
The "not complaining about the spouse" is HUGE. My first husband was diagnosed bipolar a month before our first anniversary. It was a rollercoaster. I got used to talking it out with anyone who would listen. The marriage broke down from completely different reasons, but that nasty habit stuck. My current husband is very wise and says nothing but great things about me in front of me and behind my back. We've been married 14 years and I still catch myself slipping back to that habit of complaining about his quirks. Neighbors are not therapists. If you need to talk get a therapist.
God, what I would give for 8-10 hours of sleep a night. I’ve been surviving on about 4-6 hours a night for years…and I feel like I’m going crazy! Single mom life.
Oh my goodness, Christine. I loved this so much! You're such a stand-up (and positive!) person. Thank you for sharing, especially since you're under the weather a bit 💕
Hi Christine, I hope that your throat feels better quickly. Thanks so much for all your knowledge and help. I live alone and it does help because I’m learning to plan my meals. I’m also a type 2 diabetic and your videos help me with meal ideas.
I would join anything health and fitness related that you did. Like my entire childhood I was raised to not be uncomfortable, to always take the easy route. We didn't do physical things, like not even walks after dinner or whatever. I know logically how it works but I have no idea how to implement it in my life.
As for #1.. Yes I'd LOVE to sleep 9 - 10 hours of sleep. Just tell me how to sleep through the night. I'm retired and single and some nights I get no sleep at all..and it's not for lack of trying. Give me the magic recipe for sleep and I'm so IN!
3rd shifter, I have learned to sleep when my body wants to, so no early morning activities. Also traditional medicines has a tea that helps get to deep sleep.
Amazing advice super thanks! You’re so relatable and honest! Greatly appreciated it! I wish I saw this video earlier would have saved me so much stress in life. You’re amazing extremely motivating and inspiring ❤
Thank you for talking about sleep. I just graduated with a doctorate in nursing while working full time as a nurse and The Thing I have been telling people I'm looking forward to the most when school is done...getting a minimum of 8 hours of sleep. I'm in my 30's and I do not know what it is like to get adequate sleep.
As far as sleep goes, I do not have to wake up to an alarm and I go to bed when I'm tired. I still only sleep around 6 hours a night. I might be able to go back to sleep after I wake naturally, but not often. My brain clicks in and I'm awake. You can't make yourself sleep.
I agree. I have no desire to lie in bed for 10 hours. Occasionally I will sleep a long time but mostly 6 or 7 hours is fine. If I stay in bed much longer everything starts to hurt and I end up having a bad day the rest of the day. Not worth it to me.
I love your fitness videos on your Christine Unfiltered channel! Also I love the advice your mom gave you at your wedding. If only my husband and I had heard that advice when we first got married, things would have been so much better in those early years!
I thought of you earlier this week when I'm like I'm going to the library! I got some books for my 5 year old and found a book on CD I wanted to read so I was so excited! Now I drive around to run errands happy to listen to it. Side note, gargle some salt water for your throat. I hope you feel better soon
sorry I missed the live,, I do enjoy your tips on shopping and cooking. I find it so helpful especially now that I am retired and on a major budget. Have a great Holiday weekend with your family!!!!
I cut TH-cam TV because the only things I watched were 2 news shows. I saved $85 a month. I have Amazon and YT Prime and 2 subscribed channels. I catch the shows I miss sometimes in YT upload. Win win. There's nothing I miss.
Teenagers are wonderful but it has to start when they are small. Are you listening to them now if they are small? When they do something well do you TELL them Good job, or do you ASK them if they did a Good job?
Just watched the replay! This was an awesome video/live. It's so hard when your kids leave and go out on their own. Lol 😆 but mine came back a few times. I love my son and he was my only. Shoot I cried the first time I dropped him off at summer camp and he was 11! 😂 hang in there. Now he's 27 and married.
No grief is as bad as your only child, daughter dying in an accident. That's real greif. You have know idea what real grief feels like. I don't mean to be ugly, that is the hard cold facts.
Came back to add, on the topic of sleep, do your best to go to sleep early enough (around 9pm) to get your hours in and wake naturally (around 5am). If you are feeling stressed and hormonal, and worn out, that fits best with your body's system of cleaning and balancing. It should help!
After my family watched Edward Scissorhands I happen to come home late from work one night when I noticed that there were clippings from my tree all over my patio My son had decided to play Edward Scissorhands on my beautiful looking Christmas tree outside my front door What a mess after he performed surgery, unfortunately the tree died
I've watched many of your videos, especially enjoy the sheet pan cooking ideas, I just today May 25 became a subscriber. Looking forward to your content....lol I would love to see your Mom's house setup for now I will just imagine & dream 💜
Christine. Canadian grocery prices are higher. Regular Co-op is a bit higher prices but their flyers will have discounts. This week as an example their warehouse sale has 1lb ground chuck beef for 4.99. 320g lays chips are 3.29 ea. and 12 pk KD is 9.99. And how is your school year over before June. Do they get 3 months off and go back end of Aug?
Tip #2 about being a grown up - dealing with this right now. I have no time for someone's petty immature issues that they can't let go of from years ago. See ya, bye. Stinks that it's family but oh well.
I didn't mean to sound so depressing. I just understood what you were saying about missing your daughter. When my daughter came back it was one of the best days of my life and now I have the cutest grandson. Love your videos. You are so inspiring.
When you have time this weekend, would you PLEASE turn on your largest fan and point it towards Florida 🤣 50 sounds divine right now. I stood a while talking with the butcher today because it felt so good in the cooler.
Solid GenX here (1972). I didn't cut my finger off, but while opening a package I did stab my wrist/thumb with a knife. I now have scissors in my kitchen and will not use a knife to open any package. It freaked me out!!
I would love a fitness group with you as the leader. I am on a long journey started last July and I am down 64 pounds. Still have a little over a hundred to go but could use all the guidance I can get.
I know you want to honor your son by bike riding but I feel it is too soon for you run instead and be very careful not to fall you will get better I know almost cutting the tip of my thumb I sew and make jewelry it took time be patient with you progress ❤😊
New here. Missed the livestream. I had to chime in about the Dragon Fruit 🍉. IMO it’s delicious. It’s also a great….really great natural laxative. Only takes one as a snack to help you. An added plus, I watched a highly respected Neuro scientist recently. She reported they investigated them for possible use in supplements to support the brain. Although the fruit didn’t pass for cognitive function, they found it to have huge benefits for skincare . She found a product at one of the beauty brand stores that is derived from the fruit. She uses daily for her skin care for anti-aging. Pretty powerful little fruit! 😊 She said this product is really inexpensive too. Enjoyed your channel today! Thanks ❤
Fibromyalgia can be cured with diet and exercise. My grandmother had it, my mom has it, I started having it until did a ton of research. No gluten, no dairy, no sugar and no corn. Basically keto. My fibromyalgia went away and hasn’t come back.
I love positive people. And i love cheering on other peoples sucesses that i care about. Or even strangers. People are great. Like individual humans. I am not a fan of crowds. But genuine people and their sucesses and even the broken bits they dont always aee the sucess and beauty taht si wrapped up in that. Either how their heart shines. Or their perseverance. Or humanity. Or the fact that those hard things build them and shape them and make them who they are.
Also you are great at this Christine. You care about others. Believe they can have success even if they haven't and give people grace but keep it real. But as amazing as you are one is my absolute favorite things about you is your neverending stream is high quality quotes that pop into your head.... and humor abilities because you are fantastic. 😂
I’m not sure how I feel about this advice… I have heard it from lots of people older than me. I have been married for 7 years, together 11. I think it’s important to not feel isolated when things aren’t going well. I also think that if you never tell anyone anything negative about the status of your relationship, then if things are really bad and you do need help, would you really open up? I think statistically the answer would be no, you wouldn’t.
Exactly on the grownup part! I had this happen with a friend recently. We were having a family get together with this friend invited. She had been vomiting all week long including the night before the event. She was still planning on coming after I gently tried to encourage her to stay home. I finally had to just be blunt and tell her she needed to stay home. We have 4 children I have no desire for 6 people to get the stomach flu. She has since completely distanced herself from me. But I have to be ok with that because my family comes first.

Hooray for your success! Good luck my friend!

Do you pay rent?
I’m also retired and trying to save.
GIRL!!! The fact that you used your sleeve instead of a tissue makes me love you even more!!!❤❤
My mum made school lunches for me til I finished high school and got me up for school every day and we had breakfast together every morning

Ohmygosh what a great analogy! I have 6 (now adult) children.I loved them dearly, but that actually is how I felt when they were young.
Add children with profound special,needs and change the chickens to be made of cement
The “Everyone Else Can be a Grownup” part really resonated with me. Thank you!
Yes and yes some more
I was Stephenie Meyers' youth leader when she was 15. Her brother Jacob was my son's bestie when they were 4. Great family!
As you get older you will like a Kindle more. I get a headache from trying to read small print for very long, and being able to adjust the page is awesome. I still love books, but I need large print of everything!
Thanks so much for all the time/work/love you put into these videos! My life has greatly improved because of your influence. Thanks again
I started taking aerial silks classes in my 50s. My husband and I had not downhill skied in 25 years, and we started doing it again 2 yrs. ago.
For what it's worth, we just started homeschooling late in the game and IT'S THE BEST. We can NEVER get time back. Time is the one commodity you can't make more of. ❤

Love your Mom’s wedding advice! Trust and Honor with your spouse is so important!❤
Oh my goodness, Christine. I loved this so much! You're such a stand-up (and positive!) person. Thank you for sharing, especially since you're under the weather a bit 💕
Totally agree! When I need a body double I turn her on and we “hang” out while I do chores
Thank You for being a friend!
Hi Christine, I hope that your throat feels better quickly.

I use sleep meditations...

I opted for commercials on my streaming platforms because it’s cheaper and I change them up often. It’s really easy to turn them on and off.
Christine, have you thought of putting this talk into a book?? I think it would be great!!
Thank you, I thought I was the crazy one when at 19 my daughter moved out of state. I felt devastated.
I thought of you earlier this week when I'm like I'm going to the library! I got some books for my 5 year old and found a book on CD I wanted to read so I was so excited!

I think your spirit is in tune to good. Thanks for all the work you put into these videos
Thank you frugal fit Mom! I love your show.
Thank you so much!
I agree! SUPER ENJOY!
Regarding point number 2, I think that as long as I am honest and kind, I'm not responsible for someone else's feelings or reactions.

Hi from Davie, Florida. 92 degrees and very humid.
Could you do a separate video on sleep and your tips and tricks to achieve a good sleep❤
Good luck getting more and better sleep
Look up sleep hygiene, that will give you specific things that will help you get better sleep
No grief is as bad as your only child, daughter dying in an accident. That's real greif. You have know idea what real grief feels like. I don't mean to be ugly, that is the hard cold facts.
I can't even imagine how difficult that would be, I'm so incredibly sorry for your loss
Thank you for sharing this. I hope for you and your loved ones.
Good luck my friend!
I feel ur pain,my son was murdered. I wante t just give.up.If I didn't have 5 beautiful grandchildren I would have not cared anymore ❤❤❤
buried a Grand daughter
It makes me chuckle that you are drinking your Vitamin C drink from a Maverick cup. Get well soon Christine.
Yes, yes! Teenagers are great. My favorite parenting years.
I have a hard time staying asleep. I get anxious thinking about Everything !
And Menopause doesn't help, hot flashes.
The cold is going around I’m also dealing with it. Worst part is lack of energy
Good luck! Hope you feel better soon!
Came back to add, on the topic of sleep, do your best to go to sleep early enough (around 9pm) to get your hours in and wake naturally (around 5am). If you are feeling stressed and hormonal, and worn out, that fits best with your body's system of cleaning and balancing. It should help!
The tv show till debt do us part was the best show!!!!! We need more of that show.
Please do more lives! This is so fun!
I agreed
I am currently rereading "The Talisman." So good!!
We had 10” of snow yesterday and are supposed to have almost 80 degree temperatures this weekend 🤪 Gotta love this crazy weather 😂
I love your Summer Fun list! It is timeless ❤️
Your reading skill marvels me.
We must listen to understand NOT only to respond. 😊
It’s tough to respond in the correct way desired
Teenagers were my favorite parenting phase also! I struggled more when they were little. 😅
YES! I want to joke and tease, but the youngins don’t quite understand ya know
Sleep is so much easier said than done, I suffer with insomnia and it’s horrible
I know!
We ve been married 52 years this year. Yes we have dis agreement s.... Still together. Love him.
Cold n rainy here. Go to the doctor Christine! Hugs!
I homeschooled mine. It's AWESOME!
Memphis TN has been 90 for the last 3 days.😩😩 Add humidity in the South to that and you are about to croak.
I'm in Memphis area. ❤
Good luck to you my friends!
I'm East of u,Madisonville Tn,If I don't get in my garden every morning by 7,then Forget about it.
Love this video. Thank you for sharing all your knowledge. You Da Best ❤
I'm 73, and I usually get 7-8 hours of sleep
I do fall asleep fast.
Good luck my friend!
After my family watched Edward Scissorhands I happen to come home late from work one night when I noticed that there were clippings from my tree all over my patio
My son had decided to play Edward Scissorhands on my beautiful looking Christmas tree outside my front door
What a mess after he performed surgery, unfortunately the tree died
How old was the second n, if you don’t mind me asking?
I like to think that the spirit of the tree remembers you love forever
You're SO REAL!!!
I LOVE YOUR CHANNEL!!!
Gargling with food grade peroxide can nip sore throat quickly, hope you feel better soon ❤
I’m just getting into hiking with my significant other and as long as he sees that I’m trying to, that’s all he cares about
Good Luck! Isn’t nature so beautiful and amazing!
Edmonton Alberta Canada and we had our long weekend last weekend.
I’m hushing my daughter’s room this weekend also :D Love your videos!
I've watched many of your videos, especially enjoy the sheet pan cooking ideas, I just today May 25 became a subscriber. Looking forward to your content....lol
I would love to see your Mom's house setup for now I will just imagine & dream 💜
Christine. Canadian grocery prices are higher. Regular Co-op is a bit higher prices but their flyers will have discounts. This week as an example their warehouse sale has 1lb ground chuck beef for 4.99. 320g lays chips are 3.29 ea. and 12 pk KD is 9.99.
And how is your school year over before June. Do they get 3 months off and go back end of Aug?
Where I live the kids start back in early Aug like the first week.
Last week of July for us!
Hello from Texas… it’s 92* here! Cindy Scheepstra
Good luck and stay cool!
Being uncomfortable…I spent so much time in my life being forced to be uncomfortable thst doing it on purpose is hard
The last boomer year is 1964, my sister’s birth year!
I have had four kids for two years. I’ve never heard a more accurate analogy: “being pecked to death by chickens.” 🤣 Spot on Christine.
You can read so fast. Thank you for all the videos.
Tip #2 about being a grown up - dealing with this right now. I have no time for someone's petty immature issues that they can't let go of from years ago. See ya, bye. Stinks that it's family but oh well.
I'm taking a baking challah class on Sunday. Great organization we bake 2 and donate 1 to a food bank.
You should make an effort to watch a couple of episodes of Bluey! It's the BEST kids' show on TV, funny, but wise. With your humor you'd LOVE it!
I didn't mean to sound so depressing. I just understood what you were saying about missing your daughter. When my daughter came back it was one of the best days of my life and now I have the cutest grandson. Love your videos. You are so inspiring.
Good luck my friend! Hoping for the best for you and your daughter
Hello from South Africa. Love your channel, Christine.
What about becoming a famous TH-camr is that life changing?
Fringe is one of my all time favorites!
Missed the live, but that quote is from Mike Teeve from Willy Wonka and the chocolate factory 1 of my favorite movies. Have a great weekend.
You Too!
When you have time this weekend, would you PLEASE turn on your largest fan and point it towards Florida 🤣 50 sounds divine right now. I stood a while talking with the butcher today because it felt so good in the cooler.
It’s been 80 here in VA but it’s so stinking humid!!! I feel your pain😂
Good luck my Friends! Stay cool!
Solid GenX here (1972).
I didn't cut my finger off, but while opening a package I did stab my wrist/thumb with a knife. I now have scissors in my kitchen and will not use a knife to open any package. It freaked me out!!
I would love a fitness group with you as the leader. I am on a long journey started last July and I am down 64 pounds. Still have a little over a hundred to go but could use all the guidance I can get.
Lol wiping your nose on your shirt! Thank you for your honesty 😂
Levels of trust
I know you want to honor your son by bike riding but I feel it is too soon for you run instead and be very careful not to fall you will get better I know almost cutting the tip of my thumb I sew and make jewelry it took time be patient with you progress ❤😊
I have never seen Edward Scissorhands!
New here. Missed the livestream. I had to chime in about the Dragon Fruit 🍉. IMO it’s delicious. It’s also a great….really great natural laxative. Only takes one as a snack to help you. An added plus, I watched a highly respected Neuro scientist recently. She reported they investigated them for possible use in supplements to support the brain. Although the fruit didn’t pass for cognitive function, they found it to have huge benefits for skincare . She found a product at one of the beauty brand stores that is derived from the fruit. She uses daily for her skin care for anti-aging. Pretty powerful little fruit! 😊 She said this product is really inexpensive too. Enjoyed your channel today! Thanks ❤
Getting 10 hours of sleep doesn’t work when you have fibromyalgia and five kids. I have tried everything
Fibromyalgia can be cured with diet and exercise. My grandmother had it, my mom has it, I started having it until did a ton of research. No gluten, no dairy, no sugar and no corn. Basically keto. My fibromyalgia went away and hasn’t come back.
Books Dragon Riders of Pern series by Ann Mc caffey
Loved those!
Thanks! I’m about to finish a book and was looking for something
I love positive people. And i love cheering on other peoples sucesses that i care about. Or even strangers. People are great. Like individual humans. I am not a fan of crowds. But genuine people and their sucesses and even the broken bits they dont always aee the sucess and beauty taht si wrapped up in that. Either how their heart shines. Or their perseverance. Or humanity. Or the fact that those hard things build them and shape them and make them who they are.
Also you are great at this Christine. You care about others. Believe they can have success even if they haven't and give people grace but keep it real. But as amazing as you are one is my absolute favorite things about you is your neverending stream is high quality quotes that pop into your head.... and humor abilities because you are fantastic. 😂
Unless you are in an abusive relationship then you MUST tell someone what is going on so they can help you leave, get your head together etc.
I think you didn’t mean to say “unless” but rather, “if”?
Yeah normal people have no idea about how that works against you in a narcissistic relationship!
I’m not sure how I feel about this advice… I have heard it from lots of people older than me. I have been married for 7 years, together 11. I think it’s important to not feel isolated when things aren’t going well. I also think that if you never tell anyone anything negative about the status of your relationship, then if things are really bad and you do need help, would you really open up? I think statistically the answer would be no, you wouldn’t.
Exactly on the grownup part! I had this happen with a friend recently. We were having a family get together with this friend invited. She had been vomiting all week long including the night before the event. She was still planning on coming after I gently tried to encourage her to stay home. I finally had to just be blunt and tell her she needed to stay home. We have 4 children I have no desire for 6 people to get the stomach flu. She has since completely distanced herself from me. But I have to be ok with that because my family comes first.
@@Ozarkmountainoutback1that stomach bug is the worst. I will never understand why people will not stay home with that!!!!
