[@amandanetherby8545]

My daily routine in this quarantine starts with heading to my "office" aka guest room and starting the morning off with your videos while I read emails and drink my coffee. Its helping me start my days with positivity and life my #bestlife.

[@missdtravels1446]

Same for me. :-)

[@lcflngn]

Clearly I should do that in the ams, but work takes over first off & I catch up here at night. Staying up too late is my demon to overcome! Still, any time, loving these vids 😘

[@tiffprendergast]

Amanda Netherby same

[@Lambert1386]

Going to take my wife to Disneyland when this is all over. She's never been.

[@tanishahogan9396]

Michael Brown That’s an amazing idea!!! I’m sure she will love it! What a special trip!

[@joycehardy9422]

I have plans for July and hope it will happen! My 70th and my friend’s 60th! We planned this a long time ago.

[@tiffprendergast]

Michael Brown have fun

[@romonagrove6809]

Hello to you both💕 I work at a hospital In Oregon. I’m a sterile processing tech. Today we were told that we will have to clean and sterilize maskes and respirators that are contaminated with the virus. We are all very worried for our safety while doing this process. Please say a prayer for me and my co workers. I really enjoy watching your videos. Sitting on the beach and relaxing would be a dream of mine right now instead of walking into the hospital and putting my life on the line.

[@kristipurcupile6744]

Praying for you all 🙏❤ And for respite for you too, these videos are truly helpful to me 😊❤

[@theathjr]

I work at UPS and its been a very stressful and trying time the last few weeks. Thanks for sharing your Corona-life and giving us some reprieve during this crazy time. Subscriber for life.

[@hiddenmickeysarebest]

Thank you for your UPS work! It is very much appreciated!!

[@tiffprendergast]

Tom Heath how is it different now

[@alyssaa3533]

We all totally understand how you feel, waking up and trying to find motivation. I’ve been watching all your daily vlogs first thing in the morning then start my day... so much fun watching your old park videos, too!

[@daisybran1810]

Thank you for the daily vlogs it gives me some piece of normality back. We are so appreciated of your dedication ,and hard work you put into your videos. ❤️

[@TerriR1818]

Ok have some fresh broccoli and you inspired me to make the soup for dinner. Your cooking keeps me calm and when hubby asks where did I get this idea from I say “Katie, showed me how”. Keep them coming. Thanks guys! 💖

[@cooley3cl]

I love the honesty at the end. I use these videos as my escape but it’s been tough. I have a 7 year old with autism and it’s been tough. He’s confused and frustrated and misses his routine on top of trying to work at home it’s just been a lot. Thank you for these videos and for working so hard to make content, just want you to know how much it is truly appreciated when I get to take the time to myself to watch these 💕

[@debchapman591]

"Are you TRYING to color outside the lines?!?" Lol

[@Jenni-xc6cg]

I am appreciating the respite from the many outside obligations that rule my usual life. Enjoying the opportunity to breathe a bit with family! 💕

[@MrJyora]

Good job, guys. another wonderful video. you help us keep our sanity. There are times during the day when we hit a wall and we end up feeling like we are in this alone and it feels lonely and depressing but when I watch your vlogs I find a common ground. Thank you. We are in it together.

[@theathjr]

You three(Binky) included are my favorite Corona Vloggers. Thank You.

[@pamelazero3154]

The mysteries of broccoli cheese soup revealed! I have never made it and loved learning how. I have to say, when you asked how we are doing I teared up a bit. We're OK. It's rough right now between figuring out how to earn a living and keeping my mom (she's 86 and feisty as hell) safe and sound. Your videos are something I look for each day. Thank you.

[@stevesmith1894]

I work for the trash company, so I still get to go to work. My life is work and home, and lot's of KZbin. Thank you for the regular post on here. It's great to have these to take our minds off of the worldly stuff.

[@pamelalovespoetry]

I think today was the first day I had no ambition, and everything seemed like it took far more effort than it should have. I did make Mickey Mouse pancakes, bacon and fresh fruit the other morning, and it seemed to put all of us in a better mood! I just want to say to you both, that your videos are making a lot of people feel happy. Your conversations, cooking, being at the beach and make up sessions are so wonderful. I look forward to it every day.

[@mkss323]

When Katie says “ it’s what we have” and they have the good stuff☺️🌸

[@Fiercegator34]

Hola BL&B -------- I can't believe how fast this week went by. You guys are amazing, and I've made it my routine to watch you guys every night right before I call it an evening. It's been 2 weeks under quarantine and time is flying by! Keep the videos coming, and thank you for the great food ideas. Stay Safe, and see you all at Disneyland Soon.

[@lvuittonlvr8698]

I really appreciate your daily vlogs🥰 I think you guys are great!!! Life as we know it now being quarantined sucks😫 I wanted to say it nicer but that’s the truth. It really sucks not being able to just do what you want whenever you want. It very frustrating😡 You guys make it easier though watching your vlogs daily so thank you❤️

[@4kentheroad776]

Thanks for keeping me sane and looking forward to your daily vlogs. It’s the little things that help during this time. Thank you!!!

[@rikalr]

love Broccoli Cheddar! Mine has potatoes, carrots, broccoli, broth (I use beef), milk, and cheese... it's easy and awesome. Thank you guys for keeping us connected to the world.

[@dianerudolph2510]

Thank you for another lovely video 😊. When you referred to your grey blanket, I 💯 agree. My best purchases last Christmas we’re buying my daughter and I our two twin heating blankets from Walmart (both the dark grey color).

[@jessiepye]

Thanks for doing this guys! I know it’s hard to do it daily especially with all the emotional stress going on, but I do look forward to it every morning ✨Stay Strong 💪🏽

[@tiffanysmith6287]

This past week was super hard for me. Work was stressful. My anxiety is high. Almost lost my sweet dog to a bee sting. All of that made me break down sobbing.

[@michellegonzalez2657]

Anxiety has been through the roof!Maybe just being in the house instead of out and about like I usually am has done something to me that I wasn't expecting. But being in the house, safe, a roof over our heads with food has made me even more grateful. Love the Pioneer Woman. You should try to make her hot crash potatoes recipe if you haven't already! So good!

[@victoriagonzales1236]

Love you guys! You bring such a light during this difficult time. & have definitely become apart of my “new routine”. Please continue to do daily vlogs & the LIVE chats. Been binge watching your old videos & even tho the parks are closed it does make the situation feel a little easier. Just watched the opening day of Galaxies Edge video last night & was literally in tears lol. Even tho I’ve been to the park & experienced it already, just watching your experience made it so much more awesome! Lifer for LIFE! 💜💙

[@deniseolmstead6415]

Being a high risk family, we are very isolated, only going out to pick up curb side groceries we order online and then I wash or wipe down everything before it comes into the house. Yesterday my husband was talking to the neighbors, young guys who are still having people over to their apartment and socializing...and they weren't 6 feet apart and it made me so upset. Trying so hard to have peace of mind that our home is safe. Now I'm back to waiting another 14 days before I can really feel settled again. It sucks too because I was finally feeling safe and that heavy concern had lifted. I think the fact that people can be contagious without knowing it or showing any symptoms is the scariest part and gives people a false sense of security. Anyway, that's how I'm feeling. Most days are much more upbeat, but today it's hard to feel light. On the brighter side my husband and I pulled up a video of someone driving down the Pacific Coast Highway, so we pulled up our chairs next to each other and pretended to be on a road trip, pointing out the sites and criticizing each other's driving. LOL it was hilarious!

[@orangelizerd7125]

While I don’t have the anxiety lots are having from not working (I work safety at Amazon) I do find your videos a nice calm to come home to after work. And KT you have been inspiring me to cook. My husband jokes that it took a pandemic to get me to do any cooking. Thanks to you and Spence. And my chihuahua Rocky says thanks to Binky.

[@terrirobinson3876]

Spencer and Katie I cannot thank you enough for your daily videos. I have been struggling but yesterday I made a daily check list so my day feels more structured. Your true fans know that y'all care and are concerned but we also need a distraction and humor to get thru this. #cheeseballcheckin

[@kellybrown1830]

Katie you pull off the natural look so well. Beautiful but also love your makeup when you do it too 😍 I'm feeling happy too but we are definitely on edge in the UK here. I'm sad because we've had to postpone our wedding to 2021 but grateful my family and friends are well and we have safe surroundings. Hope you are both doing well and thank you for the blogs xx

[@deborahhobbs7664]

Katie I made your soup yesterday and it was amazing! All I had was frozen veggies but it still came out delicious! Thank you for sharing!

[@janelledavis4958]

Keep waking up hoping its a dream, getting bored and have my moments. But enjoying the family for sure, reconnecting. We have cheese balls from Target, and yes they are good too!! Love your videos, recipes, and your positive attitudes!

[@nayelimorales8960]

I love watching your videos. I wake up and get the notification first thing i do every day love you both couple goals ❤❤

[@craftismyzen12]

Thank you for this video and the pancake one. Loved the pancake video!! It made me laugh, and Spencer was so great trying to be creative. Yesterday was my lowest day. I think it’s normal to have highs and lows. I think laughter helps a lot and keeping busy either cooking, crafting, walking, etc. i really enjoy seeing Katie cook and even ordered the beignets, which made me so excited to try this weekend. I think keeping comforting things around and getting sun when we can is key. As Californians, we aren’t used to being snowed in during our best weather of the year! We are used to being super-busy. The first two weeks were a lovely break but things are starting to get harder. I mostly miss chatting with friends at work and hugging family members,

[@morphyvampy5681]

Have really enjoyed these vlogs, hanging out briefly with someone has been necessary (just social distancing style). I am trying to keep busy with arts and crafts, handling chores etc., and have been going outside daily since I can be alone and my dog gets to run. The joys of this time, as long as my brain cooperates, I have the energy to do the things! Just unfortunately depression and anxiety try to hinder that. Doing the best I can to keep swimming~ 🐠 I hope all is well with y'all, with greetings and love from me and my dog Padfoot from Texas~

[@TruenMacthomas]

My first day back to work today. I am so glad to be back at work...... Hang in there gang. It will pass. Just don't catch the CORONA!!!!! On another note, love the VLOGS....

[@doloresmarquez4616]

I’m very much enjoying your vlogs! I appreciate all the fun!! I’m feeling good...I’m very grateful I have a job that allows me to work from home and that my job is still my job! I am feeling bad for the people who can’t work right now. We will get through this! 👍🥰

[@missmelisart4474]

Thank you for sharing all these great recipes! Totally made a meatloaf variation using stove top and it was amazing!! the whole family LOVED IT!

[@magicmagalie9667]

"just b/c you're happy, doesn't mean you don't care; just because you're sad, doesn't mean ur being negative"

[@maryjanemccarthy2907]

Zoom. That's what we do. Never, ever, going shopping or being in public because we are just waaay too old & vulnerable for that. Enjoying our favorite KZbin channels like this one. Reminiscing about Disneyland in the 50's. Being spoiled!

[@teresablais8005]

Our state just announced an extended quarantine until May 4th. Trying to stay positive and not let that be upsetting. I have a husband and 3 kids, So i have plenty of company. I look forward to your videos everyday. ♥️

[@libertym3201]

That looked so rich and good, excited to try! Thanks for sharing. Feeling hopeful that we’re in this together and we’re not alone even though we’re quarantined! We’re still trying to have our best lives :) !!

[@aimee3772]

Watching specific bloggers helps the break up the day. I appreciate that you all take the time to do this. Thank you Stay safe and stay clean lol

[@shawneaton9203]

Thank you guys for the dedication of daily vlogs. You are making me want to live on the beach! Lol. And it’s so wonderful seeing Binky (sp?) living her best life and doing so well ❤️

[@missdtravels1446]

Katie, I was happy yesterday as well. I had this sense of feeling that everything was going to be okay and this will all be over soon. 😊

[@jojozam5481]

Just had to make broccoli cheese soup after seeing this! Thanks for the idea, it was yummy. 😋. Such a great start to my day when I get up. My coffee and your smiling faces!

[@ummato3]

Since we are retired and live rurally, we have had alot of practice at staying home...even isolated. If I watch too much news I get anxious. It's terrible what's happening on the East coast, New York. It's almost like it's not really happening here, although it is. (Washington State) Like Katie, I've had moments of euphoria and moments of being scared to death. My husband and I are in the retirement age bracket so being cautious is something we've had to do. But most of the time I love being isolated. I'm in my happy place, in my house on the hill with all the things I love except my wonderful family and friends. I just thank God for the internet. Again thank you for what you guys do each day. It really does help keep sanity in this house.

[@corrysis-torres1698]

love these beach videos!!! especially since we're stuck inside most of the day

[@joycehardy9422]

Your videos are never too long! I am now a Patreon member! Yay! I’m in and out of it too. Sometimes I’m so fearful as I am older, but we will all get through this! As you said yesterday we are still figuring how to do all this, especially shopping. Fresh items can spoil, so need to shop more than I thought. I’m making a mask and going to the store...like you, coffee is needed! Thank you so much for doing this daily vlog! It’s part of my routine!

[@mumblinmae1140]

Hey you two! I love your daily check ins. It is one of the bright moments of my day. Thanks for keeping things real. 💜 Irene from 🇨🇦

[@brendamanu-tuinei4902]

I can feel your funk. I had to force myself yesterday out for a run. Feeling tons better. We will get thru this together my sweet friends!❤️❤️❤️

[@brittanyuytterhagen1923]

You’re soup looked amazing Katie! Also, I really liked the sweater you were wearing during the first half or so of the video. ❤️

[@thomasjacobs4870]

We are making that soup for dinner. Thanks for sharing the recipe.

[@oceanrose6943]

I just went shopping it was okay I got a lil bit of anxiety I had to stand in line for the hour while seniors where shopping but got everything I needed and more so glad that I was okay I centered myself alot

[@Tateman]

I got a cheese ball tub today when I went out for groceries. Apparently the fam loved them haha. Going to invest in more soon haha.

[@crystalmata3921]

I’m a huge broccoli and cheddar soup fan but have never ventured into making it myself. In my head it seemed like it would be hard. You made it look so easy that just I bought all the ingredients and will give it a shot this weekend. 😬😁

[@deanadolph1922]

Hi Katie, Spence ,and Binky:love you guys! thank you for making videos to keep us entertained during this hard times! The beach looks wonderful! Little Binkie needs some sun glasses. I'm with Spencer on the sharp cheddar cheese and extra sharp cheddar cheese yummmmm! The soup looks delicious and I'm sure it was! I was supposed to go to Disneyland and Universal during the week of the 22nd for my birthday after not being there for 22 years! bummed out, but looking forward to going when this all clears up !Hope to see you there love you guys!

[@suzannessweetkitchen6266]

Thanks for your daily videos! I look forward to them!💗

[@MiaMaven]

The more sharp the cheddar the better. I would have left it the way it was. But I'm a super sharp cheddar fan. To each their own when it comes to taste. Glad you guys are doing well.

[@nomikonrad]

I think one of the hardest things for me is that as someone with asthma and a very caring boyfriend, I haven’t been able to leave the house or get out of the car when he goes to the grocery store. So the other day I asked if we could drive along the beach home because that would make me happy. But when we get there, all these cars were parked on the side and there were people everywhere? And there were lifeguards in the towers? I don’t understand are we just not worried about anything in Carlsbad CA??? And more than anything it made me really sad because there’s me who fees like all my choices have been takes away, because I can’t even go into the grocery store and choose what kind of apples I want, them there are all these people just going to the public beach??? Which just doesn’t seem fair.

[@nomikonrad]

I do find a lot of joy in your videos and other channels that I’ve been watching on KZbin it’s just getting more difficult.

[@kelseyrichards3129]

When spencer said I resemble that, my mom always says that when I call her something. That’s so funny that he says that too!

[@stevengen]

We love broccoli cheddar soup! It's even better with pretzel buns.👌

[@markljacobs9550]

I use to go to Gelson's growing up in Sherman Oaks, Reseda and Woodland Hills! I use to drive by were you live, on my way to "The Colony" in Malibu.

[@doozerchris619]

Katie, me and my wife met u and spencer at rise opening and I ran into spencer at food and wine.gonna try the soup and add bacon bits and green onion when it’s done. If I see u guys at Disney, I’ll let u know how it turned out. Thanks 😊

[@carolbrown2314]

Enjoy your videos. I’m keeping sane by working on my hobbies.

[@tishaandmegan]

Ha Ha hanging out watching your vlogs and the close up of Binky came up. I asked my Rat Terrier to look at the puppy and she actually had to climb over me to sniff the screen to see if she was real!!💖💖

[@anntheagobel3631]

Morning started off prepping everything for my crockpot roast, got it going then talked with my son who lives in Tennessee. Waiting on hubby to get home, been gone all week, he’s drives truck for a living an had to deal with winter condition, Oh an yes I know it’s spring but up north in British Columbia they haven’t got the memo. Looking forward to some social time the solitude gets to me sometimes. I’m really trying to be positive but the struggle is real.

[@debbiethompson8527]

Looks wonderful Katie! Loving the beach scenes.

[@MORTICIA-jj6gu]

The soup looks amazing! I love sharp cheddar cheese! I’m with Spence on the soup thing!

I love your BINKY ....she's sooo cute.. You gotta get her a little visor hat and some sunnys. Love the video.. I'm glad everything is so well with all of you.

[@kelliwong4970]

Binky is a mood and I love her 😂❤ your videos are just so calming and make me feel like we're hanging out lol

[@treshamarshall1239]

This has been tough, but definitely a time to pause and be grateful.

[@ShihtzuBambi]

Hi, you asked how are we doing . Great! Keeping Positive, having great faith in God, prayer is helping me every single day. I said already I'm limiting my time of the news, only updating when need be. Watching my favorite youtubers keeping busy with things around the house we had no time for, before. I am actually going to cook the meat loaf recipe you did , tonight. We just gotta keep uplifting each other and reassurance its going to be alright and its normal to feel what we are all feeling at the sametime right now. ❤

[@kevinlewis3685]

I had to be up early today. Conference call at 7am. Staying at home and only doing conference calls for work is tiring. Hope this ends soon.

[@soccertl]

That recipe sounds good, I will try that
