[@JeanNeisler-g2x]

I think you will absolutely love Anne with a E . Honestly it’s the best. Love all your videos . You’re such a treasure. It’s on Netflix

[@elaineelgie8569]

Yes, Anne with an E (Anne of Green Gables) is a great show. Lovely show that 3 generations can enjoy together. My granddaughter loved the show! It was a shame when the CBC canceled it. 😊

[@carolhamilton7822]

Karen, you always set the perfect ambience with candles, fireplace, blankets, tea and soup. So cozy! Inspires me to do the same! 😊

[@regina590]

I love love love Sweet Magnolias on Netflix. And Virgin River!! They are MUSTS!!!

[@jenniferduh6842]

Definitely watch the show “Chosen” oh my gosh such a great show. I seriously cry every episode. So so good. You look absolutely Beautiful!! GOD BLESS YOU

[@elaineelgie8569]

I have heard very good things about the Chosen

[@nygrlathrt4015]

"Mandy in the making" is just as sweet to listen to and her recipes are delicious..

[@pamguldan9862]

I love your channel! Heartland is a good tv series!🌸

[@elaineelgie8569]

Another great CBC show for multi-generations to enjoy together 😊

[@jduarte8466]

There is no one out there like your channel. I love your channel. I have such a hard time finding others to watch also. Can’t wait to make that soup.

[@msmandy00]

Oh wow!! I am making that soup this weekend!! I’ve been keeping vegetable scrap bags in my freezer since you mentioned it quite a while ago. What a great tip!! Lots of love to you Karen! ❤

[@dianegentilotti6949]

Omggggg…husband loved this chicken soup and let me tell you he is picky😊 Keep those heart warming recipes coming..❤ Your faithful follower..Diane

"All Creatures Great & Small!" best family show around.

[@charlenedimonte]

I’m absolutely hooked on Gilmore Girls!!! Again!!! Used to watch it with my mom, such great memories. Sweet feel good series. Anything but the news. 🙋🏼‍♀️🇨🇦🥶 Freezing here too.

[@BlingyBea]

Love that series, I watched it last year.

[@pattymarie5081]

Karen you always look fabulous!!! Would you ever consider making a video about the time you wake in the morning and the time you get ready for the day? I truly struggle with my mornings, perimenopause got me feeling blah. I’m up early but if my face isn’t on by noon I give up. If you haven’t yet, I think you would love Virgin River on Netflix. Thank you for always sharing. Stay blessed… Much LOVE from Chicago

[@sheilamyers6333]

Thank you for your prayers. I’m home and healing. I can’t wait to try the soup.😍

[@EnhanceTheSeasonswithKaren]

Hi Karen. I can’t wait to try your soup. You look soooo comfortable on your sofa with Archie. Can’t wait to hear what plans you have for your family room. ❤

[@Gigirl59]

Virgin River. Is fantastic!!!

[@barbaramiller5357]

Hi karen, thanks for another great video. And thank you for asking people about KZbin videos for mature women. I am a young 72 and even though I love your channel the best, it's nice to see what other grandma's have out there. I cannot wait to make your chicken noodle soup. I know it's going to be fabulous. I love that little cloth hanging flower holder from Target. I have it in my Kart all ready to go. Barb from Jersey

[@TraditionsByTheSeasons]

Hi Karen, I always enjoy your recipes, yum! I’m so excited to see what others are recommending for movie 🍿 watching, I’ve been so bored with the choices lately. Hopefully, 🤞 I can find a fun series. TFS, see you in the next one. Xoxo ❤❤

[@EnhanceTheSeasonswithKaren]

[@judym.2468]

Hi Karen, another great video. I so enjoy each and every one. You just can’t help but being uplifted by watching your content. You are such a blessing.

Karen I have no idea from your clue what changes you’re going to do in your family room. It will be exciting to see the reveal. You’re so lucky you have all your Xmas stuff down. I will be doing mine soon. Have a great week & enjoy babysitting. 💕🤗

[@maryturner5018]

That soup looks good! Can't wait to see your new project.

[@betsymaddox5366]

Some of my favorites are: Virgin River, Call The Midwife (on PBS…..soooo good!), All Creatures Great And Small (PBS), Quarterback on Netflix…(I think you & Mark would both enjoy this one since you are football fans!), Sweet Magnolias, The Crown, Suits, The Queens Gambit. Also…if you are looking for some really good movies, The Holdovers on Prime is great and The Starling on Netflix. 💗💗💗

[@EnhanceTheSeasonswithKaren]

Thanks for all the great TV recommendations! I'll have to check those out! I have watched a few that you mentioned but there are a lot I can't wait to watch!!

[@lq8389]

Thank you so much for the YT channel suggestions!!

[@janiceestes9518]

You looked beautiful in your white sweater. Yes, I did notice. I will be making your soup later on this week. Have fun watching your grandkids. I have 10 grandkids, and I love spending time with them too. They do grow up very fast.

[@suejoplin0813]

I cannot wait to do my soup that way!!!!

[@mauraspade8801]

Katen you truly embrace the art of hygge. If you arent familiar with it, it is a danish word that means the art of coziness ❤ cant wait to make the soup

[@Kindlelover88]

I made your butternut squash soup, and it was absolutely fantastic. The only alteration was we added potatoes. We did use our own vegetable broth that we created with our scraps as well.❤

[@robertam4108]

I agree, there is very little on TV to watch. We do not have Netflix and resort back to the old shows, Carol Burnett, All in the Family. Mainly comedy and stay away from the mystery and crime shows. I watch a lot of You Tube. Stay warm.

[@beckyvinson7795]

Sweet Magnolias, Virgin River, and Lincoln Lawyer is nice to look at. 😜

[@Chronicles1611]

Beautiful as always, Karen. ⛄

[@cherylweeden5106]

Hey there, my friend I love the soup recipe. I love all the soup recipes and yummy food you share.🤗. Definitely a great reminder to save your veggie scraps. I quit doing that for a while until you reminded me so thank you❤️. I’m looking forward to gardening season again. I didn’t have as much planted as you did, but I certainly had a ton of basil and I’m going through my pesto quickly so spring needs to get here soon.😊

[@karenmays8889]

Can't wait to see the updates to your house. ❤️

[@BlingyBea]

Good morning Karen, you look fabulous, do you have a list of videos on how and what you’re doing to lose weight? I need some soup today.❤

[@joythomas8229]

Yes Karen, you are looking fabulous! Please share what is working for you!❤

[@sborras12]

Going to try your soup! Looks yummy❤

[@benitajones2544]

I can’t wait to try your soup! Looks delicious! I’m not sure if you would like the Virgin River or not. It’s about a small town who just has only a clinic and a Nurse practitioner is coming into town to help the doc.( who has no idea his wife has put a listing for a position out there.) It has some old marine buddies and a bar where lots of folks come to unwind and eat a delicious meal that Aka Preacher cooks. I really liked it. Enjoy your grand babies! I’ve been trying to clean and organize all my spaces no one but us sees. We are hoping to do a total pantry transformation, paint and all the things. I am wanting to paint my kitchen too. I am excited to see what you’re up too.

[@donnabohannon5237]

Oh Karen, the soup looks delicious. I’m definitely gonna try that. Cold up here in Chicago as well so the soup would be very appreciated. 😊

[@MimiGabriel-y3k]

Hi Karen, loved today’s video, as always. I watch you every time you come on. I don’t often comment because I watch you on tv but I will make a conscious effort to comment and like. Can’t wait to see what you will be doing new in your house. God bless you 🙏🏼🙏🏼🩷

[@shirleyfromm2039]

Can’t wait to make the chicken noodle soup. But first have to remember to save all the vegetables bits for the yummy broth 😊

The soup sounds amazing! Where do we get the recipe?

I forgot to add it to the description box, so I just did!! xx

[@dianahenris2101]

Hi Karen! I must say I just love your videos. My daughter made homemade chicken soup yesterday. She used our family recipe. Where you find a nice yellow chicken and a lot of it. Celery, carrots and onion. It takes a little over an hour but it’s worth it. It gets such a golden rich broth. Now I have an appetite for it. lol I’m excited to see what you have in store for your family room. Stay warm! ☃️💙❄️

[@janicejubach708]

The soup looks so delicious, will definitely be using your recipe. I love the idea of saving the vegetable leftovers in freezer for broth! Never heard of that before, has to make a big difference! Enjoy those grand babies!!

[@betsykramer587]

I've been watching DIYWife on KZbin. I just adore them. Chef Brian Langerstrom is very good. He makes me believe I could cook anything lol. I love medical drama (Grey's Anatomy, etc) and I just added The Pitt (MAX) to my watch list. I watch several influencers like you who do "day in the life". Enjoy the grandbabies, they grow up fast.

[@sdurks3466]

HI Karen! You are a breath of fresh air always so happy! I have been watching DIY Wife…she is awesome, talented, smart, creative, inspiring and so on.

[@soulmates5346]

Definitely going to make your soup! That broth looks so yummy. 😋

[@PaulaShoaf]

Hi Karen , the Holland Cooper sizes .. are they true to size ~ run small ~ or run Large?? That info would be so helpful if you would share , I thank you !! The soup looks delish I will definitely give it a go, however when I made the veggie broth it seemed like watery taste and I simmered for a few hours! stay warm and cozy friend , Paula...can't wait to see your decor update

[@lisawfriday]

Linda Smith Davis on KZbin is always a great watch if you haven’t watched her give her a look. I like watching KZbin videos from the New England area since I live in the South it opens up my world a bit. Home and garden with Anna is a good one to watch as well. ❤

[@junipergardener6711]

Hi Karen, Cher/Our Seasonal Stories. You asked for a days in the life type of vlogs. I wonder if this would be one you would consider as being so. Different, but also has similarities. Thought I would mention it.

[@petepappas4313]

Thanks, she looks interesting.

[@nancyfarias3985]

Just added your soup recipe to my Paprika App. Can’t wait to make it. By the way, I wanted to mention that your hair looks fabulous lately. I love the length and it is looking so thick and healthy. I just ordered the dogwood stems from my local Target for pickup later today. I plan on using them when I start my Spring decorating. Thanks for sharing them because it looks like they sell out fast.

[@cass77788]

the soup looked so good however you can make a similar one direct in the crock pot and much much easier. you put 1.5 lbs of salted/peppered chicken breast in bottom of crock, throw your veggies over it w/ chick stock, garlic and poultry seasoning, after 6 to 8 hours of lo cook take out chicken shred put back in crock and add wide noodles after 15 mins its done and so good. your recipe sounded great however, just delish!!

[@christinebarbato2515]

Karen, your nails always look so pretty! Where do you get them done?

[@kandi_canel.5730]

[@joannmccready5286]

Oh and Positano Diaries on You Tube as well.

[@Zorbos186]

The Series: All Creatures Great and Small:" is so wonderful--if you just watch one episode you'll love it. It's such a quality show and all ages would like it (you have to get used to the English/Scottish? accent though!) It's on PBS on Sunday nights at 9:00 PM Eastern time. Sometimes during the year the episodes are repeated as it's very popular. A really charming entertaining show especially if you're an animal lover. The acting is superb on there.

[@jeanieturner5183]

I love you tube classic movies. Looks like someone is going to have curtains.

Im surprised no one has mentioned A Charming Abode on youtube.kzbin.info/www/bejne/pKC7kqapYqmBbZYsi=iPveZgdlluejkTEA I think you'll really like Leslie. She is so positive and filled with faith. Around 50ish, she's a nurse wjo is now a full time care giver to her husband, Jason, who has lewy body dementia. Youd think that would make her channel sad but not the case.
