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!

[@brett9778]

Hooray for your success! Good luck my friend!

Thanks

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]

Your mum sounds like a wonderful human!

[@angelika_munkastrap4634]

@@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

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.

[@brett9778]

Good luck my friend! I’m (barely) handling a 7 month old and it be rough. I hope you find some amazing sleep (even if it only lasts a second)

[@crystalh1402]

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.

[@melissahowell8363]

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.

[@michelleutter8521]

Fringe used to be my favorite. I want to look it up and watch again.

[@Fernie4243]

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.

[@giannavlogs6009]

The “Everyone Else Can be a Grownup” part really resonated with me. Thank you!

[@brett9778]

Yes and yes some more

[@stephaniegaddis1716]

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!!

[@truthseeker6370]

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.

[@CAGChannel1]

Add children with profound special,needs and change the chickens to be made of cement

[@An__-]

It's so funny because I've used this analogy before to describe what it's like to teach a group of 20 5 and 6 year olds all day. It is literally tap tap tap on my back and side and arm and stomach all day long

[@brett9778]

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

[@sarahconnor64]

"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!

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!

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.

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

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.

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.

[@brett9778]

Good luck my friend

[@kymmarye]

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.

[@samjam1859]

Love this video. Thank you for sharing all your knowledge. You Da Best ❤

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.

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.

[@cheriepanter9333]

I’m lucky to get 4😢

[@dianasimplifies]

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 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.

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 ❤

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!

[@findingaway5512]

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.

[@findingaway5512]

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. 😂
