I love how y’all dont talk over each other

[@mjkay8660]

laundry room = commercial washer & dryer large capacity. less problems, made for abuse.

[@mjkay8660]

also "canning" eggs is good. look for water bath, some solution??? stores for over a year

[@mjkay8660]

also , smash those tomatoes before u freeze.. more space

[@ginamaxey9967]

If you split your Vanilla Beans you get a lot more flavor, the flavor comes from the outer/inner of pods & seed! IMO✌🌻🌱

[@KFresh972]

Jamerrill, I am with you 100%. When it comes to groceries this gal can stretch a dollar. When I was a young single mom of 2 after paying bills I typically had $10 for groceries. I would buy sale items only and make a big casserole or chicken & dumplings and we ate it all week. I might have gone hungry but my kiddos never did. God bless you and your family.

[@juliecook6826]

Girl you are an inspiration! I’m home today with my 8 week old puppy I just got and we are watching your videos. When my 2 hungry boys lived at home I felt like I was always making enough food for a family of 11. Lol. Now that they have moved out, got their own homes and one is married and made me a gramma, I still cook big meals for just two of us and freeze the extras. Just over the weekend my husband got out some packets of leftover freezer meatloaf and this week we will have leftover lasagna from the freezer. Sending you love and sunshine!

[@auntiepam5649]

I am 70 and we are all learning never let people discourage you. Bless you Jamerrill

[@virginiamesko6369]

Jamerille, you are letting all of us learn from your live experience. When suggestions are made, it's not criticism, it's just suggestions based on other's experience.

[@heatherkenworthy4969]

Don't feel discouraged, your an awesome woman with many skills, we can always learn more. You've taught me so much and you inspire me. Thank you sister in Christ

[@judyland-obrien4259]

Jamerrill: YOU will ALWAYS be COMPETENT in life because YOU are ALWAYS CURIOUS!!! Love you!

[@michaeldixon8838]

Don’t be discouraged! You got me through a pandemic and lockdown! Thank you! Without watching you and your adventures I would have been lost! I have no family and was isolating alone

[@phyllisstein1837]

JS is good at caring and providing for the community she lives in.

[@Scooterskitchen]

Ok so I’m 30 with no kids (6 fur babies) but I’m a big prepper and love love love to spend my time cooking, canning, gardening, meal prepping and so on. I love your videos… but I’m literally just here to tell you today: You have the most daggone gorgeous hair! I think that every video I watch and have never said. And today I thought, I really need to tell her this! Lol 💛🐥

[@JamerrillStewart]

Hey, thank you so much! I have a great hairdresser lady who is helping me keep it all worked out well. ❤

[@suunflowrr]

Girl, try not to be discouraged. No one is born knowing all this. You teach so many of us new information all the time and where would we be if it weren't for you? You are awesome and I'm proud to call you Friend.🌼

[@loribrocato145]

Jamerrill thank you for sharing all that you know, are learning, and would like to learn. I do try things along with you. It's easier because I'm not alone. I can't imagine having total strangers criticize your efforts. I have these words for them. "In a world where you can be anything be nice."

[@jenniferjuranko1617]

Never feel discouraged because you know how to do so much and learning how to do new things is always fun and exciting. There is even fun in the failures!!!! Kudos to all who go on the adventure of learning those new skills.

[@joyrutter8832]

I love watching you. I have 1 child, but do lots of big batch cooking. I have 2 chest freezers and regularly feed teenagers who love “shopping” in my freezers. I could probably not cook for a month and still have enough food for the neighbourhood. Thank you for your inspiration!!!!!

[@pameladroy9217]

Hi Jamerrill. I'm from Scotland and love watching your videos. I think yours doing really well with your vanilla. I live on the adage of if you learn from a failure, it's not a failure x

[@RoscheetaMonique]

Thank you for sharing. I’m single and cook often for my elderly parents. I get great ideas from you. God bless.

[@Katheverett]

Lifelong learning is the best. And you learn the most from your “mistakes.” Bravo for trying new processes, new recipes, new tools. And thank you for sharing it with us - that is very generous!

[@renah2509]

Your such a sweet family...Your always thinking of others too Jamerrill... God bless you guys from East Texas..

[@sharonfrankenstein2468]

Your pantry store is amazing. We are just 2 here and we also have a stocked basement store and we LOVE it! Please don’t feel discouraged about anything you do. I know the internet brings out some mean trolls that say nasty stuff they’d NEVER say in person. We all love your videos and encouragement that you always offer to all of us. 😊

[@reginastock5546]

Love all your videos and your bright, sunshiny personality! When I first started using my label maker I found I was wasting a lot of tape when I printed one label at a time. So now I make a list of what labels I want, enter them all at once with a space between each one, then print. I feel so efficient when I do that!

[@lisaflint1986]

My mother always told us kids that the learning never end after graduating school, it's call the school of life and that you should learn something everyday. I've learned alot from you and big batch cooking and your shopping trips , thankyou I've learned things at the age 57. 💜😊

[@charolettpatterson2436]

Reference power outages: we use a wireless indoor/outdoor thermometer that we put the sensor in the freezer and the battery operated receiver on the kitchen window sill. That way when we lose power we can monitor the freezer temperature without opening the freezer door to check.

[@kenziekayla8613]

It’s better to know that you don’t have to excel at everything - but to be happy and proud of the tasks you undertake. We all need to keep learning and attempting new skills. Practice makes perfect! I think you are one highly talented woman! Just wish I had your energy and stamina! 😊

[@terrylynnlavoie776]

Loved this vlog! It always blows my mind on how well prepared you are to not only feed your big but help those in need as well. 🥰 Something I would love to try someday, can some beef and chicken/turkey. I've seen you and Becky both do it, having that convenience of just opening a jar just makes me say Ahhh. I know how fortunate it is to be married to an Electrician, I'm married to one as well! Mine is still in the work field and he works on the Powerline (high voltage) side. When we put our addition on the house in 2016, he did all the electrical...huge savings! 😊

[@sorij3560]

Yay, time with Jamerille!!! Isn’t it amazing that our kids know everything and then the older we get we realize we don’t know anything 😂.

[@A-G5518]

2,200sqft basement?! 😮 My entire house is only 1200sqft!! 😆 I live too close to sea level so basements don't exist here unfortunately, of course neither do root cellars or anything of the like. Cold storage is basically non existent here and I've yet to figure out how to store certain foods long term. Potatoes and garlic both sprout very quickly in the pantry, the darkest option and probably the coldest, which doesn't say much. Yay southern living! Haha

[@debadamsuksouthwales6766]

Jamerrill you do amazing things in keeping your family well fed and healthy I do admire you has your a mentor for many women 🤗💞🙏✝️

[@carlafawcett6494]

You are an amazing inspiration my dear. Don'y worry about negative comments. ; ) You are loved by so many : ) Keep on inspiring us to preserve the blessings we get . Love you

[@deesjourney213]

Jamerrill you my dear are my spirit animal! I am a good 20 years your senior and you are my inspiration. I live vicariously through your videos as I wanted to have a big family and live on a farm with animals and gardens! It didn’t work out that way so I watch you do it!

[@angelacorner5204]

Unfortunately, most houses in the UK don't have basements or cellars as we call them but I so wish we did. I have a few groceries in my shed, my daughter's call it 'Mams mini market'. They know if they are struggling, they can come and help themselves, I just buy one or two extra items at a time, all are shelf stable. Love your content, cooking and the biggest respect to you for keeping your family well fed, loved and looked after.

[@michelel965]

You are great at everything you do bc you TRIED…..and if at first you don’t succeed, try, try, try….again. Lots of hugs! P.S. I would eat at Jamerrill’s table any day of the week!

[@JamerrillStewart]

Thank you so much!

[@susanchamblee1190]

I love that you share little things like the white boards. Great idea.

[@tammyr2966]

You are amazing in all you do! Learning new things, comes through all of life! We are constantly learning! I learn so many things from all you wonderful people on you-tube! I too am trying new things in the food preserving world, that I’ve never done before! I even made a fancy French pastry dessert for the first time in my life this Easter! We are all at different stages in learning and can all learn from each other, that is what makes life so exciting! Just keep being beautiful you!

[@ToEachTheirOwnHome]

I was here for the old locker days!! I remember that! ♥️♥️ Praise The Lord for the things that come along to help us right on time 🙌🏾 they look fantastic

[@jackieburnett6881]

Enjoyed your video ! Ty for sharing. You are an absolutely a gem! You not only provide for your family but you also donate and help bless others! You are an Angel!!

[@amandamartin1062]

You could use the small magnet on the whiteboards on the basement freezers to keep an ongoing paper, grocery list written down. So when you go to shop or put an order in, you can just grab the list from each freezer and add a new blank piece of paper under the magnet.

[@lorimonson7643]

For all of us… do the best you can… be open to everything…. Including choices of others we may not understand 😊

[@ginaroberts7152]

We live in the Dallas area Texas is normally quite warm but once every few years we have a terrible storm or snowstorm so we have a whole house generator. It’s actually hooked up outside and comes on automatically. It’s quite large, but will always be warm.

[@Mom-pu8vt]

When you have tried or attempted to try even- you have succeeded, so don’t be discouraged.

[@elainegelina477]

Jamerrill, you are good at many things. You have so much patience, your children are truly blessed to have you as their mother. You are an inspiration.

[@GardeningLady]

Jamerill I love when I see your videos come out to watch and enjoy. But, before I know it, they are over. I could watch you for hours. You are so pleasant and easy to listen to and you do have a lot of knowledge. And, guess what, when you learn something new, others, if not me, will learn too. Many blessings to you and your family!

[@bassfamily7606]

I appreciate how honest and real you are! You set goals for the day and when life doesn't happen the way you expected I Love your attitude. You roll with it.. Such a wonderful human being. God bless you!

[@73angiebaby]

Blue is definitely your color!!! You look so beautiful in it! 💙🩵💙

[@caroldrysdale2970]

Dear Jamerrill, never had a clue how vanilla was made so found your video on the process very interesting. After seeing the process is not so complicated I am thinking “I can do this”😃 So going to give it a try for Christmas baking. Thank you for the inspiration.

[@ginnamagda5810]

Hi Jamerill. I look forward to all your videos. I believe your God given gift is sharing hope ,ideas, conversation friendship , joy in life both outside and in the kitchen. So please never doubt yourself even though we all do time to time and have faith that you are impacting joy to those of us watching !!

[@ImallamaToo]

The important thing is you keep learning, and you teach and encourage us as well. ❤️

[@glendaharding4884]

What a beautiful pantry!

[@aimeebeech6101]

I just write on the freezer/fridge with the dry erase marker. It works great.

[@suziebuckingham9053]

My first time doing vanilla I had small bottles so used 3 slit vanilla beans to each bottle. I let them sit 8 months and still didn’t have a dark rich color. When I open them to use, I add 2 more split open and it got much richer.

[@cleorichardson4471]

You do great dont be discouraged you do so well you have a beautiful family

[@GladysWilds]

You are so sweet and positive you go girl

[@plbennett8]

Helping to keep freezers frozen... Being in LA hurricane area... Any open spaces in the freezers, fill milk jugs with water. This will keep everything frozen and when it does melt, you have drinking water...

[@cherylzavetz7970]

You can just use the front of the freezer as a giant wipe off board. No need to have a tiny board. I write right on the front of my freezers and change counts as I remove items. works great =!

[@deeburke7320]

I'm happy to tell you that you have had an effect on me...I now have 2 weeks worth of breakfasts in my freezer and tomorrow I will be making some freezer dinners, and 'TV's lunches. So happy to have picked up your habit. I have 1 standup and 1 chest freezer. Love doing this too....keep up the fantastic work.

[@jamiekendall7245]

I love your supportive talk at the end of this video. Thank you it helps so much❤

[@McdanielJenHome]

Thank you for the videos and content, I've been re watching some of your past video as it provides me with calm and logic and just helps keep this mumma calm in a very stressful season. Thank you ❤ Health and good wishes to you and yours x

[@elizabethbreeden4702]

I can so relate. I can not tell you how many vanilla videos I watched. The amount of vanilla beans was a very wide variety and if you should slice the beans or not. It can make your head spin. Another great video.

[@Regina-lf2bq]

"Like a good hillbilly" hahaha I adore you!!!!!!!!!! I loved to see you improve your space with our recommendations! It turned out great! (And you should talk to Becky (Acre Homestead) about your vanilla project. She has been doing it for years and has some tricks up her sleeves! I think she makes it in bulk?)

[@marieesposito9145]

I love it when you tell us stories, by the way your hair is beautiful 😍

[@JamerrillStewart]

Thank you so much!!

[@EHCBunny4real]

You should make "frozen cups" for the family. Frozen cups are frozen treats made from sweetened Kool-Aid or fruit juice made in small Dixie cups.

[@ann-mariegrey9775]

This will be my year to learn to pressure can. I can waterbath can with no problem.

[@jessann5581]

I already watched this video BUT I’m re-watching because I’m doing my Glucose test today and this video goes for almost as long as I need to sit here for. Haha. Thank you for the awesome videos.

[@janbond8460]

I'm a widow, but I LOVE watching your videos.

[@malindagosnell6533]

In my house when the kids were growing up, I convinced them we had a ghost in the house and it's name was Nobody. When something would happen and I asked who did it, they would always answer " Nobody". It was funny till they would sleep in their own bed. Glad to know it's normal to have mystery happenings around the house. Love your true life stories.

[@jamielutze]

yes in my home we had 7 kids growing up and not me always did it

[@WildKraftyAotearoa]

Great tour! Your so organised! Your vanilla looked great to me. Your more than good at things you are GREAT! The GREATEST! I hope you all have a wonderful holiday/vacation.

[@Laura55sere]

My first deep freezer when I was a young mum 48 years ago came with a booklet that you hung up next to your freezer with everything that went in and you crossed off everything that got used.

[@roseanderson927]

42:39 Hello Jamerill Thank you for all your videos. Of course people do things differently. And thanks for politely telling people just that. Although you shouldn’t have to. People should just mind their own business, but everyone thinks what they know is best. I get a kick out of watching your videos and I learn new stuff as well. As for your vanilla, from what I have learned. You have the right amount of beans for the vodka. Rose😊

[@catherinehunter3509]

Don’t be discouraged. You can doing anything you . Trial and error is a good thing in life. Vanilla bean will take time to vanilla. You can added more beans if you wish but the beans will need time .

[@susanholcomb]

You can write directly on a white refrigerator/freezer with dry erase markers. No need for a dry erase board. I do it all the time. It comes right off with a dry eraser. I do sometimes clean it with Windex.

[@paulawilliams1474]

And if you accidentally use permanent marker, just write over it with a dry erase marker, it’ll come right off

[@shirleywagner1380]

You are doing awesome!! Last year was my 1st year to on making vanilla! There is a1st for everyone! You are so so busy and I appreciate all your videos!!

[@msmyra55]

Have you considered solar panels? My home isn't huge, but my electric bill was running anywhere from $175.00 to $280.00 per month. The system I have will pay for itself in 3 years. At the end of each installation year I will receive a $9000.00 check. I have the option of using it or signing it back to the company ( which I plan to do). Once I've paid it off, my monthly bill will reduce to single digits. I currently pay $117.00 monthly. Best investment I could have made for not only energy conservation, but it's economically better for me financially.

[@modernhomesteadalaska]

Grab my coffee settled in and always looking for a good way to organize my freezers better!

[@Lisa-xy4nm]

You're a mother a wife, housekeeper Uber, business woman, Nurse, Chef/cook, Nurturer We kissed the booboos and hurts away ,teacher My goodness the list goes on. I think as women we do a lot of things and we do it well❤

[@krisheathman9053]

The owner of the freezer door thingy things is “Somebody”. I’ve lived with a “Somebody” my entire life 😂😂❤

[@deaniebeanie4416]

Oh man, a couple years ago I was at walmart in the clearance aisle, I found a handful of these little whiteboards for $1 each and I'm so glad I grabbed them, we use them all over the house

[@pamelacox6034]

It takes at least six months and a year is better for the vanilla. Five beans should be enough. 41:25

[@laurenf1966]

Always fun hanging out with you! Thanks for the visit 😊

[@JamerrillStewart]

Any time!

[@rosecampbell1589]

Im on holiday in malta and im so happy to be watching you here. You ground me. Godbless

So amazing you can bless other families with meals without any stress ❤

[@Tauranasaurus]

Your hair looks fabulous. Love the bangs.

[@jeanieyates2912]

Great video as usual. You are my favorite you tuber. So talented in many areas. God bless you and your family.

[@wyomom7260]

You have plenty of vanilla beans going on. The longer it sits, the darker and richer in flavor it gets!👍

[@christinewallace9251]

Thanks for the encouragement!!!

[@charlotteparton8581]

I do my vanilla the EXACT same way. You do not need so many vanilla beans. It might take just a little bit longer with fewer beans, but the outcome is the same. We are a single Mom family of 3, and in my opinion......you ROCK!!!!

[@Anna-jx1on]

Thank you for showing your vulnerability, thats not always easy. FYI you never come across like you don't know what your doing. Nice encouragement also to really pursue your passions and gifts. End of day we are not meant to know everything. Love you videos. 😍

[@andreaharrington7699]

5-6 split vanilla beans to 8oz of vodka and you can replace the vodka as you use the vanilla, replacing the beans every 6-12 months depending on how often you use vanilla

[@melissatucker4067]

THAT LIGHT BILL IS PRETTY AWESOME

[@agathareimer2924]

Your vanilla might have to stand a little longer with that many beans but I don't know if there's really a wrong or right way. So my advice is just go for it. We learn from doing things. Love watching you.

[@stephaniethomasson8812]

I did 6 whole vanilla beans to an entire 750 ML bottle of vodka. Your 6 bean ratio to 16 oz bottles is plenty!! It will be delicious and you can get by with less beans next time! They’re pricey so it helps to stretch

[@ericaharris6897]

Always so excited when you post!!! Yay!!!!

[@julie1shot2kllsc41]

I have a whole house generator. Natural gas. 30 seconds after my power goes out it will kick on. It's totally worth it!!

[@JamerrillStewart]

That’s nice! That’s not in our budget right now but we do hope to get one at some point in the coming years.

[@joycekatende2928]

I JUST LOVE THE COLORS OF THE CANNED FOOD... 💥

[@karbear26]

I like a labeler too great for school supplies! That’s a good thing to remember when you’re feeling discouraged and think you don’t know anything to take the time to think of the things you are good at and turn things around!

[@GreenLifeInDublin]

What a happy place right there 💕 Well done You!

[@soniaibarra1926]

Blessings and have a Great Week Jamerrill. 🙏❤🌻🌻

[@oliviagarrison]

❤️❤️ I’m so glad you’re feeling better ❤️❤️

[@wayna_d]

Have you looked into getting solar panels, or some other renewable energy like wind, to help with your electric?

[@cheryltomasek4264]

Great idea on the white boards! I am going to get one for each of my freezers to keep track of what meat I have left in the freezer. 😊

[@leslieroberts1592]

Lowes has a 17 cu ft one for 778 that is the brand of yours that cn be a freezer or refrigerator.
