Awwww!!!! I hear Ira, talking his little head off. Precious. 🥰

[@jsmith317]

I'd never heard that song before. Wonderful message; thank you, Corie. Thank you for the delightful, cozy video, Tipper.

[@brianb.5473]

My wife and I are happy that the girls are releasing videos now at 6 pm with yours. We watch all of them and Paul as well. Gives us 2 videos to watch in the evenings. God bless you all.

[@CelebratingAppalachia]

Thank you so much 😊

[@kramitdreams]

We do too❤

[@mamawfrancy]

Me three. 😍

[@sheliahampton716]

Love listening to Corie singing 🎵 🎵🎵

[@JiZd-xj1ok]

wow. Corie singing, guitar, emotional. 😢

[@lylacrawford1827]

Wow Matt that wood splitter makes it look easy. When my husband was alive he still would split them with an axe and it was hard work. He has been gone 21 years now. I bet he would really like splitting wood that way. Bless your sweet family. Y'all have put that sled to good use.

[@CelebratingAppalachia]

Thank you for watching!! I know you miss your husband so. I’m sorry you lost him.

[@beckywilson9443]

I had the same thought about my husband. He would have loved that log splitter! 😢❤

[@highridgemom7899]

Tipper, this video is so serene and beautiful. There's a sacred connection to the space that surrounds your family. It leaves me in awe. We all need to escape from the hustle and bustle of life and have moments of peace like this - to look out at a mountain of trees, and listen to the rushing water of a creek as it washes over moss-covered rocks. There's a reverence in nature. It was so heartwarming to quietly see the sights in your corner of the world, listen to Corrie sing, and see smoke pouring out of the chimney as you said good-bye.

[@CelebratingAppalachia]

I'm so glad you enjoyed it 😊

[@christyjohnson6967]

What a blessing in this world is CELEBRATING APPALACHIA!

[@appalachiancat]

I loved Katie's reaction to the golden milk. ❤

[@rhondalampe6676]

Hey there Tipper, What a beautiful video! Thanks so much for sharing. ❤ & Prayers

[@s.c.2424]

The smoke coming out of that chimney is just beautiful. With all the bad and hardship in the world really makes you feel grateful to have a safe and warm home. That song brought back memories. My aunt Pam loved to play it on Saturday mornings while we helped clean. You sung it so well!

[@RHC1623]

Touched.❤️ Thank you for the beautiful outdoors, the soulful music, the cooking, etc.! God bless you all!🙏🏻❤️

[@Phyllis-i7d]

I throughly enjoyed this video! Corrie sang that hymn beautifully! One of my favorites. Thanks for sharing!

[@CelebratingAppalachia]

Thank you! I'm so glad you enjoyed it.

[@DonnaHarper-lg9pw]

Oh such Joy I feel after watching this video. I thought about you yesterday Tipper. I had to run to Tractor Supply for my dog food. As soon as I started through the store, there it was a feeling of spring. There were all the seeds, plants, gardening supplies. I instantly thought of you and your love of growing things. Spring is coming. 😊❤😊🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

[@CelebratingAppalachia]

Love that Donna! Thank you for thinking of me 😊 Spring is coming!

[@KathysTube]

Enjoyed watching the busy month go by...👍❤

[@ShelbyBunten]

Thanks for sharing enjoyed loved Cories song beautiful ❤️ Shelby

[@darleneridgeway7452]

Yes! She’s cooking! I love it!

[@chromaspace]

Thank you for this wonderful sharing. My Psychologist prescribed me 'slow television' (Norwegian: sakte-TV) to help with my mental health, which apparently is a genre taking the world by storm. This reminded me of it. Thank you.

[@mhelen7360]

Enjoyed the montage of January, Tipper. Love that it included so much snow. Even if we don't get any more, January was beautiful. That golden milk is intriguing, going to go back and rewatch your original video. And yes, the black pepper activates the turmeric. My medical doctor says it's a proven natural anti-inflammatory. I take it by mixing turmeric and black pepper in honey.

[@smoothvern165]

GREAT video! So entertaining. The music was beautiful, and it’s always cool to see Matt shooting his bow. Cool to see him using fingers!

[@CelebratingAppalachia]

We're so glad you enjoyed it!

[@DCouey60]

Absolutely love it all. Thank you for sending my mom that card. She loved it, and I love that you would do that for her. She is special to me. And you all are too.😊

Such a delightful montage of a genuine awesome family. Love from Washington State.

[@CelebratingAppalachia]

Thank you so much! We appreciate it 😊

[@rolandpinette9946]

You enjoyed a lot of family experiences in January, Tipper. The older we get, the more we value time with the ones we love. Y'all are blessed to live near one another and share meals whenever you wish. I enjoyed this video, as always. Today, I worked on building a grow station in the basement. It's my own design using a mesh shelving unit with 4' LED grow lights suspended above each shelf. Like you, we are eager to start planting. Although the thermometer doesn't agree, Spring is on the way! Best to you and your family!

[@CelebratingAppalachia]

Thank you Roland! We are blessed to be so close for sure. That set up sounds amazing!! I know you will grow a lot of goodness 😊

[@cherrieperkins5065]

Sweet baby Ira is talking away in the background ❤❤

[@LA-wv5gd]

Yummy breakfast! The sadness of putting away Christmas. Corie, your song made me cry, because I've seen God send those "reinforcements" many many times in my lifetime. Tipper, you are the "queen of the kitchen."

[@CelebratingAppalachia]

Thank you! We appreciate you!!

[@hawkrose8403]

I now make homemade biscuits just like you do Tipper! You taught me. Those eggs and that meat you were frying looks so good❤

[@CelebratingAppalachia]

Love that! Thank you 😊

[@StaceyMangani]

There is so much beauty in this video! I watch this the most but also your daughters and brother. Feel like I know you all! Prayers for Lucky’s family and for Granny!

[@Dougeb7]

Whoever operates your drone camera, I hope they have as much fun as I do while watching the footage. The mountains are so lovely and verdant, even in the dead of winter, thanks to the evergreen trees. No wonder you "pine" for the mountains when you're away, lol! Thank you, God bless!

[@mickimartin8841]

My husband is going to have to quit watching your videos. We just left a grocery store, and when I picked up a can of biscuits he said, “you know you can make that with flour and heavy cream”. ;)

[@CelebratingAppalachia]

😊

[@UncleSasquatchOutdoors]

Great video. You were right about good food and good music. It got in the low sixties today. And to think just a few days ago, we were freezing.

[@CelebratingAppalachia]

So glad you enjoyed it 😊

[@DrivinAndSingin]

I really loved Corie's song!

[@sheliawisner811]

Great song Corey,,,had Vertigo all week,,everything spinning like stop,,God Bless YOU!!!

[@CelebratingAppalachia]

I’m sorry I hope it goes away! Thank you 😊

[@arianahoule7223]

It was interesting to see the perspective of where your house sits next to Cory's house. Sending everyone loving and peace-filled thoughts.

[@CelebratingAppalachia]

Thank you 😊

[@lindabuchanan1185]

Tipper, this was such an awesome video! 💞All of the delicious food and other things that you made. The beauty of the holler and Stamey Creek. 🤗 The song that Corie sang and played was so beautiful. 😊 You all made good use of Matt's sled this year using it for hunting, hauling your mail, getting food to your houses, and even getting to go sledding in the snow! When I see your house with the smoke coming out of the chimney, it makes me feel like I'm back home. 💕 Thank you so much for sharing your lives with us. ✨️ Sending blessings to you and all your family. 💗🙏

[@KimOpperman]

I made my first batch of kefir last night. Next is kombucha.

[@CelebratingAppalachia]

Yay 😊

[@Jean-ko4xv]

Great visit, a busy Jan. Couldn't decide which part was number 1, so will say, smoke from roof top and Corie singing. But, really I loved each part. Thank you. God Bless. ❤🙏🙏's for all. Jean

[@CelebratingAppalachia]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@shirleyfrazier4476]

Beautiful scenes of the creek. I love the sound of it too. Corie’s song was pretty and I liked the photo bomb.😀. Olive just had to get into the picture.😀

[@CelebratingAppalachia]

[@janicelittleton3142]

Thanks, Tipper for the video tonight. I enjoyed all the beautiful scenery, cooking, and wonderful singing. Hello, Ira. Praying for Granny.

[@angie4552]

Tipper I really enjoyed that video. Love to see the creek and Appalachia in the winter is just as beautiful as it is in every season. It reminds me so much of where my family lives in Arkansas and where I also plan to live in our family land. So peaceful.

[@livvyweimar7362]

So it's just me that's thinking January has lasted at least 5 years? Okay 👍 cool. What a strange start to this year, but your wonderful images and clips help me feel like I'm home! Thank you, Corie, for the lovely music, thank you Tipper for the warming and heartfelt video, and thank you all for letting us enjoy what you see each day! As always, much love from Texas to you and yours, Tipper and family!

[@wheezyjefferson9136]

My favorite breakfast that my mom made! She’d fry up pork shoulder, gravy, biscuits, fried eggs, some sliced tomatoes if we had them. Maybe fried potatoes. My goodness, I can almost smell it.

[@OkieJammer2736]

Goodness. I so appreciate your showing the process of making your pepper gravy. Very helpful!

[@CelebratingAppalachia]

Glad it was helpful!

[@jamiehromas]

Beautiful video. Thank you for putting in the hard work for us to enjoy.

[@CelebratingAppalachia]

[@cindydevine173]

So nice to hear Corie playing and singing again. It was so funny when sweet Olive popped her cute head up behind Corie's shoulder to see what was going on then she went back down.😂 Hope y'all have a good evening. ❤

[@mariansmith7694]

My Daddy would have loved a log splitter like that. He did it all Old School.

[@CelebratingAppalachia]

It makes it go so fast 😊 thank you for watching!!

Yes, coconut hot chocolate is wonderful. I'm proud of you for mastering the golden milk recipe. Now, about that ice cream... 😊

[@LoriCurtiss-xz6xm]

I loved all the beautiful scenes, creek, snow, etc. I also learned about the poppy planting-if we get another snow, I’m going to try that. How I loved Corie’s song-I ugly cried from the first word until the end.. I knew it right away and it’s such a wonderful “story” of no matter what we’re going through, we serve a Mighty God who will see us through-beautiful! Thanks for starting my day with a thankful heart ❤ Love, hugs n prayers from Mississippi !!

[@CelebratingAppalachia]

Thank you 🙏

[@NGMountains]

You make such wonderful videos Ms Tipper. I do enjoy seeing the beautiful scenery you provide in them, even though I live right here in the same area. You have some of the best wholesome content on all of KZbin, your little gals do also. You do everyone that lives in these mountains proud in how you and your family portray the good folks that live here. It's not easy to live in these mountains, it's hard work most times, but I'd rather live here than anywhere else in this world. God bless you and yours and please keep making these wonderful videos.

[@CelebratingAppalachia]

You are so kind 😊 thank you! We appreciate you!!

Thank you!!

[@Philippians--vz1mi]

Takes a fair bit to make me cry Mrs Tipper, I'm not ashamed of the odd tear or two occasionally when it's sincere & I am moved, with everything that's happened last year & this year, well... but that beautiful song from Corey almost made me, lol I think if Katie had of been there & singing those absolutely moving Appalachian mountain harmonies with Corey, I think I would have been riding the tissue express! Thank you Corey for that beautiful song, you are a busy mom & so thank you for taking the time to share such a beautiful song with all of us. God bless & keep you all.

[@CelebratingAppalachia]

Thank you for your kind words!

[@stephaniesosna8213]

On round 3 of the "golden milk", try shaking up the canned coconut milk before opening it. It should combine the separated water & fat. Much easier to use for the recipe 😊

[@CelebratingAppalachia]

Great tip! Thank you!

[@JosieCardenas951]

Thank yous all for sharing . Corie your voice is so beautiful very beautiful song . Stay safe

[@temperhollow7716]

I haven't tried the golden milk with coconut milk and have only used regular milk with a little allspice or cinnamon, but otherwise just like yours. The tumeric is very medicinal and really helps with any kind of inflammation, like arthritis. Very soothing and delicious!

[@kathleenroberts7972]

Lovely Corey!

[@wdgbirmingham2]

Oh my gosh!!! 😯 The first 8 minutes of this was an ASMR masterpiece!! The babbling brook, the sound of sleet, the sound of breakfast cooking... I was in a trance! A good trance! Please make a video of just ASMR sounds like that!
