    AMEN!!! When you said WE DON’T HAVE TO TELL YOU CERTAIN THINGS! That is so true. YouTube doesn’t mean you share EVERYTHING! I’m glad you said that. Glad things have turned around for you ❤❤❤

    The lady who got me started in prepping was the wife of a real estate broker in Las Vegas when the 08 crash happened. She told about living on her food storage for over a year as they did everything they could to keep their home, which they did. It was an impressive tale, as is yours. This can happen to anyone without warning and should motivate everyone to get busy.

    It's no ones business. Aaron seems to be a hard worker. I applaud y'all for not telling. God is good and He's seen you through. Continued prayers.
  • @BrendaJBarNett
    I had wondered if Aaron had retired or possibly cut back his work hours, but I wouldn't have dared ask. And this is one reason we prep...life happens ❤
  • I me myself assumed he'd be home all winter because of weather. I would never think less of Aaron because he wasn't leaving the house to work. he does all kinds of stuff to take care of his family n home. stuff happens in life. love you guys n I'm very happy he back to work
  • No ones needs to know everything. Thank you for taking care of grandma and keeping her safe.
  • @samstevens7888
    I respect you more because of how you handled this. People need to learn others have private lives. Just because someone shares part of their lives on social media, doesn't mean they have to share everything. Much respect glad things worked out. I've said for the last 20 years that I've been prepping that this is the best life insurance there is. It brings peace of mind. I've been disabled for the last 10 years but I'm in the UK so we have a pretty good safety net here government money wise. I still prep, my kitchen is still full of food as is my extended pantry. I'm ready for what ever comes my way.
  • So glad your and Aaron's working situation has positively changed. It is ok to keep things in your lives personal and private. Coming forward you've shown why keeping a well stocked pantry is so important. None of us know what might be around the corner. Looking forward to the freezer meals.
  • 100% correct my friend! Everything isn’t everyone’s business. We appreciate so much the parts of your life you choose to share with us. We appreciate Aaron’s love for his family. ❤❤
  • I admire you for not telling all on YouTube. It’s strictly your business and no one else’s. I’m thankful you were prepared for the worst, as so many of us would not have been, and that is an awakening. Keep pressing forward.
  • Jessica, you are so strong now! You have come so far. You are such a blessing to so many! You and Aaron prepared your pantry, and it paid off. You both should be so proud. This years preparation will be even more of a blessing to you because you know how it kept you going these last 6 months. I pray your youtube channel grows so big that Aaron can maybe stay home. You two make a great team. God bless, and I am so happy things are looking stronger for the near future, financially.
  • There is a reason things are called “personal business”. You are so right that nobody needs to know all your business. Thank you for sharing your life experiences. We can all learn from each other!!

    When I make powdered sugar I put 1/4 to 1/3 cup of cornstarch to my blender of sugar then pulverize it and I’m very satisfied with this technique. I commend you two for carrying on in front of the camera like nothing major had changed in your lives while I’m sure had to be a very difficult, emotional and scary time! Most of us have hit difficult times and most of us don’t want to share that with anyone, sometimes not even family but you guys have proven that being prepared to the best of your ability that all that preparation and working together and supporting each other really paid off so I’m here to say “you two are fantastic and I pray for brighter times and for you to be able to breath a little easier” thank you for being you! ♥️🙏🏻🇨🇦
  • I am sorry Aaron got laid off for so long but how amazing that you were so well prepared!!! I wish more people would prepare like you have!! We never know what our future holds. I have also switched over to honey and cream in my coffee and love it. A dash of cinnamon is awesome with it too!
  • @alinelson2
    Hi sweet one! Oh my goodness...I had no idea that Aaron has not had a job for six months. You are so brave and I admire you so much!!! Even though you were not stressed about food, I know you were getting anxious about Aaron finding a job and that is stressful! Thank the Lord he is working again and the big pressure is off! What an inspiration you always are to me and others! You keep on being you my dear friend. Big hugs and many blessings!
  • Very happy to hear things are looking up again Jessica, you don’t owe anyone an explanation but thankyou for sharing ❤😊
  • @KatherineWalden
    thank you for being so transparent and open you gave so many great tips and you showed how a pantry does not have to be a end of the world apocalypse sort of thing.
  • @conniewach7872
    This is exactly why you and your husband stocked up on the things, to take care of yourself and family & animals. Anything can happen. And you guys were ready. Great to hear he is back to work. I hope he didn't struggle to much with not working. He is a good man. And very proud. Now it's time to get back at it. Thanks for being you.
  • @riddle8062
    I am extremely glad that Aaron now has another job after being laid off for so many months. And, your fantastic food storage really paid off during this time. You just never know what is going to happen as time goes buy living life day to day. I just pray more people would realize that and build up their pantries. You definitely did not have to tell any of us about the past 6 months; however, showing us how much it helped during this time should wake some people up. You, and Aaron, do a great job at adulting! 😀 Love your Mom, and Grandmother! Okay, love the tea in the half gallon jars. How many bags do you use in each one? This would be great since it is just me and I don't want stale tea! God bless you all! ❤
  • @teresehoban2368
