We have Phillips Hue Smart Lights so we can set them to "candlelight" when doing normal home stuff and "bright white" when filming! Plus, we can change them to fun colors to match sports teams, holidays, etc. when appropriate :)
Jen, love the sweater🎄. I also love that Grove always takes the time to write a quick little personalized message, on their boxes. The globe lights are really nice, I always add to my stash as I have a 4’ tree, on my porch, where I have no plug-in. Those Christmas cards are precious. Thanks for sharing.
Your Christmas cards are beautiful & I love the back with descriptions of the kids! It’s the new typed out yearly letter that use to come in families Christmas cards..... I still love Christmas cards! Such a classic holiday tradition🎄
Parachute bedding.... would you do a more in-depth video of what you got and what you think?? im tempted to purchase but need to hear from more people who have purchased :)
Jen, your holiday cards are beautiful, and what a great idea for updates on the back! Love your videos, always have and always will...I've noticed since the new home, you have been more relaxed and getting your groove back. Happy to see that!
I have been following you since the beginning. I’m going to be very honest. You are finally whole again. I see it in you everyday you film. My heart is happy for you. Hugs Jen, you have come a long way girl.
Some species of bamboo can grow 910 mm (36 in) within a 24-hour period, at a rate of almost 40 mm (1 1⁄2 in) an hour (a growth around 1 mm every 90 seconds, or 1 inch every 40 minutes). It's AMAZING!! Sheets, blankets, clothing and cutting boards can be made from bamboo. Use it whenever you can.
The Christmas cards are sooo precious! The pictures are amazing! They are my absolute favorite Christmas gifts ❤️ I display the ones my loved ones send over to us, it just brings me so much joy 🥰
In our area, there is a huge push to support small, local business right now. The ones that offer curbside pickup are doing great! The big box stores aren’t struggling right now, but small business is. Maybe look for these types of business in your area rather than shopping online. If you can. I know now everyone can do that.
We use a roll a day (about). 8 rolls would be a week. Depends on the size of the folks in your house and personal body rhythms. Her kids are little. Donny probably still wears diapers at least at night.
Well..:it’s just me and two very little ones, who don’t need a whole lot to get the job done. We went through A LOT more when there was a man living in the house 😆
Totally influenced to go hop on that Ritual subscription. I have a known sweet tooth that I need to curb and I know this sounds counter-intuitive, but since this is high quality I think I’ll be able to limit the consumption and truly savor it when it arrives.
I’ve been loving your vlogmas series this year. In my head and fantasy life, you are definitely my best friend! lol I love your expressions when you found Ritual stickers with your chocolate! Do we ever get tired of stickers?? No!
Jennifer - your Christmas card of your sweet, adorable family is beautiful - I love the inspiring word “Hope” embossing on it! We all definitely need hope and healing now.💫🎄♥️
Love the lights. Just keep praying that I will get my disability. I desperately need it. I have been in a disability case for 13 years straight and in this particular case for 2 years. I think I have said what my new diagnosis was from my rheumatologist and I have an appointment with him on Tuesday. I have finally started seeing a female doctor again because I have needed to get a new one for a while and I have a fibroid tumor and my breast hurts. The one had for several years retired, then I seen another one and she wasn't very nice and I went to see my primary dr and she gave me refills on my birth control pills because I was having heavy bleeding. So now I am stopping them because the dr said I needed to because she wants to do an endometriosis test and birth control pills affects the cells inside a woman's body down there. Anyway, I am so consumed with health stuff and do not get to do any fun shopping online or in the stores and I really need income to have to pay for gas for my vehicle, buy cloths, food, stationary, stamps, envelopes to pay bills and write letters with, buy some fun stuff, and have a life again and be able to buy Christmas gifts for my mother, a few cousins, and a few friends. Keep praying I will get my disability.
I cannot believe Winnie is 11 yrs old now! I've been watching your channel for years and absolutely adore you.(Thank you for showing me how to fold "file style"! 🤣) I too have a different kind of Christmas this year, and am learning about the same self care journey. Its beautiful isn't it? 😊 Merry Christmas to you and your little ones Jen.. and Winnie too. 💖🐶
You look great by the way. I am happy for you because something has changed (other than the obvious life changes I mean) and it’s working for you. I don’t know what but it makes me happy to see you like this.
I've had a package bouncing between Cleveland & Columbus for a few weeks now. SO many packages in limbo. Even my Postal store order bounced around for a week or so before being delivered. LOVE your cards!
Hello Jen. Do you know Caro Arevalo? She is an artist, she’s on TH-cam too and she sometimes shares cacao rituals. Might interest you as a chocolat lover. Happy Holidays! 🎄
Hi Jen, i‘m really happy to see how cheerfull you are and i Lobes the cards, the chocolate and That sweater 😊 Maybe you could put the lights on That Tier in the background, i think they would Look great there. Merry Christmas to everyone With warm wishes Katja, from Germany
I would’ve love to see Winnie on the front of the card as well🐾 you should definitely look into getting your little ones, into modeling/acting. They have such outgoing personalities. Happy Holidays ☃️
I've been a follower for years now. I started following for your organization videos, but have loved all of your content. I NEVER comment on TH-cam videos, but I had to on this one. I don't think I have ever seen you look so happy in a video. Just truly joyful. It made my heart happy and I just wanted you to know that there are lots of us out here cheering you on! Happy Holidays
The cards came out beautiful! With our cards, I also order address stickers, but what do you do with the recipient's name and address? I always end up handwriting them so I have to do the cards in batches otherwise my fingers feel like they're going to fall off.
I feel ya with mail this year. The past few days our mailman hasn’t delivered our mail until after 3 pm. Still waiting on today’s mail. I’m trying not to get upset about it, but it’s been making me very nervous.
May I make another suggestion for those last minute crunch shoppers... please don’t rush and buy online. Maybe consider giving less this year? Or perhaps home made gifts? My husband works as a mail courier and I cannot begin to tell you how incredibly overwhelmed they all are. He’s working 80 plus hour weeks. And no this isn’t something he “signed up” for. They’ve been thrown mail volumes that simply can’t keep up with. The government in no way has stepped in to help them. They don’t even have enough vehicles to deliver properly. If I can persuade even one person to second guess buying a last minute gift online I will be so incredibly humbled. These husbands and wives would like to spend some time with their loved ones at home too this holiday season ♥️♥️♥️
The Kristina sweater looks like such amazing quality, I regret not getting one! Also - those are truly the nicest holiday cards I have ever seen, so beautiful!
How fun! You were a whole other level of silly. I kept laughing. I thought by the end you were gonna be wearing something from each box. Both sweaters look great on you but Christopher’s red one really compliments your coloring. I ordered 5 (yes, 5) of the Fireside Hot Chocolates. They were gonna be gifts but plans change. Thank goodness they don’t expire til 2022.😆 I had one cup and it was really good but a little too rich or sweet. I’m gonna use less chocolate next time but so good.
Postal service is NOT slow. It is overwhelmed by volume. I have a friend who works for USPS. Many people have been less than ....kind. Please grant them grace when they are working a volume they have never seen many are working an insane amount of time. Please just be a kind human being (not targeting you specifically, Jen but all people.) Being mean and aggressive does not get your packages there any faster.
Your energy in these recent vlogmas videos is just so cheerful and calming! I love spending this time with you everyday xo
I literally laughed out loud at your expression and comment "it's last minute shopping." Yeah baby !!! So on point.
We have Phillips Hue Smart Lights so we can set them to "candlelight" when doing normal home stuff and "bright white" when filming! Plus, we can change them to fun colors to match sports teams, holidays, etc. when appropriate :)
If you could only pick one ritual bar which one would you pick...not huge on chocolate but you make it sound so good.
Jen, love the sweater🎄. I also love that Grove always takes the time to write a quick little personalized message, on their boxes. The globe lights are really nice, I always add to my stash as I have a 4’ tree, on my porch, where I have no plug-in. Those Christmas cards are precious. Thanks for sharing.
Would love to see what ideas you have for how to keep old Christmas cards that are sent to you.
Your Christmas cards are beautiful & I love the back with descriptions of the kids! It’s the new typed out yearly letter that use to come in families Christmas cards..... I still love Christmas cards! Such a classic holiday tradition🎄
Parachute bedding.... would you do a more in-depth video of what you got and what you think?? im tempted to purchase but need to hear from more people who have purchased :)
If CC has a doll house you can put those battery lights on it. I did that for my daughters with very similar lights and it is adorable!
Jen, your holiday cards are beautiful, and what a great idea for updates on the back! Love your videos, always have and always will...I've noticed since the new home, you have been more relaxed and getting your groove back. Happy to see that!

I'd love a video of what you got the kids for Christmas!
Why do you put peanut butter in the refrig?
The PB I buy recommends storing in the fridge

It's lovely to see you so bubbly and happy 💙
That drinking chocolate sounds amazing, the Fireside must have been limited edition I can’t find it.
Am I the only one questioning their toilet paper use 🙈 8 rolls would last my two people household...not a long time 😄
Hahaha. Same. Especially with IBS! 😂
Maybe she uses wipes for the kids? We have those flushable biodegradable ones and only go through 4 rolls of toilet paper a week.
We use a roll a day (about). 8 rolls would be a week. Depends on the size of the folks in your house and personal body rhythms. Her kids are little. Donny probably still wears diapers at least at night.
And having 2+bathrooms means your use is split throughout the house. 1 box for one bathroom, 1 for the other, etc.
Well..:it’s just me and two very little ones, who don’t need a whole lot to get the job done. We went through A LOT more when there was a man living in the house 😆

Never! 😜
Wow I think I have following you forever. I remember mail time videos.
Jennifer - your Christmas card of your sweet, adorable family is beautiful - I love the inspiring word “Hope” embossing on it! We all definitely need hope and healing now.💫🎄♥️
What is that opener you are using?
It’s an Olfa Magne Touch
What a beautiful card Jen! Yes another mail time video! My all-time favorite was when you opened Christopher Allen’s gift swap!
I’m enjoying your vlogmas videos so much, thanks for all the work you’re putting in! Also you seem really happy and it’s lovely to see

I also love Grove. About to hit my 1-year anniversary and totally willing to pay the annual fee again
Oh, Jen! Your card is truly beautiful, and “hope” - there is NO better antidote to such uncertain times. Wishing you a lovely, new chapter ❤️
I cannot believe Winnie is 11 yrs old now!

I love the moments that you’ve been sharing. The sweater is cute! Beautiful card. The joy in your smiles are so sweet.
Hello Jen. Do you know Caro Arevalo? She is an artist, she’s on TH-cam too and she sometimes shares cacao rituals. Might interest you as a chocolat lover. Happy Holidays! 🎄
I missed going to Ravinia this year!

The Christmas cards are so beautiful! Charlotte really is a model and I love the two adjectives below each description; Winnie's made me tear up 😅🥰
The cards came out beautiful!
With our cards, I also order address stickers, but what do you do with the recipient's name and address? I always end up handwriting them so I have to do the cards in batches otherwise my fingers feel like they're going to fall off.
I keep a document on my computer formatted to print out on sticker labels
@@WithWonder that's a great idea! OMG that would save me so much time and joint pain... I'm adding this to my to-do list for this month!
Thank you 😊
Absolutely beautiful Christmas cards . Xxx thank you for sharing
LOVE the photo card! So sweet.
I feel ya with mail this year. The past few days our mailman hasn’t delivered our mail until after 3 pm. Still waiting on today’s mail. I’m trying not to get upset about it, but it’s been making me very nervous.

Great to see you looking well, Jen. All the best.
Great vlog. You are glowing girl!
Someone commented that bamboo isn't sustainable compared to regular toilet paper? 🤣🤣🤣
Those cards were beautiful!! Loved the video.
Thoroughly enjoyed this style video.
Sweet😊. Enjoyed you! Merry Christmas Jen! xoxo 😀
