We are Peter & Mary, a married couple in our early 30's, showing the ups and downs of everyday life with #CysticFibrosis, a life-threatening lung disease that Mary was born with. We have an adorable standard poodle, Oliver, and a hairless sphynx cat, Harry. It's our hope that these videos can be an encouragement to to celebrate the little things in life and find joy amidst a world full of hard realities!

I may have forgotten to take one of my meds in the morning...but... that was kinda a good thing!

[@mamadebbeauty4118]

I have the same issues with prednisone it attacks my body in such a horrible way but it’s unfortunately necessary for me to live so we take the good with the bad and thank God for every day we are given love you guys you truly brighten my day even my not so good days especially you Mary you give me the strength to keep going God bless you all 💜💜💜💜

[@karendeakin9628]

You look so much better Mary great to see

[@jonki1980]

Excellent news on feeling better Mary. A bit more human is a good thing. Antibiotics can really hot hard sometimes but it's good to find a possible cause - yeah 👍👍 Still feels it a bit but I'm getting through it. Peter - Great update on Harry

[@meghan2802]

I do all of my shopping at 8 or 9pm. No one wants to shop at those hrs. I also find nasty, rainy days, snow days are also good.

[@jonki1980]

@@meghan2802 I usually do late shopping pickups much quieter and I don't feel rushed - which I absolutely do not like - cold/rain/snow is a definite no go for me

[@micahtrumble1655]

Im not religous but seeing Mary so happy and joyful singing that song made me tear up. Its amazing the joy she can find even when things are harder.

[@connimace258]

When Mary sings it up lifts me so much. Im glad she finds joy in it. God may have given her cf but he also gave her an awesome voice. Just my 2 cents.

[@triciaann4086]

She’s always been that way too as long as I’ve been watching she so optimistic about everyday no matter the circumstances! ♥️

[@luannprickett2863]

Loved Peter’s giggle after pointing out the cow’s hair and his! So funny!😂🤣😂

[@ItsAMbutyoutubechangedmyname]

When Peter say Huuuuny it's just to much for my heart it's so sweet and adorable ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@deniselovelace3075]

So glad to see Mary feeling better today and Peter smiling more because of it! You two are a true inspiration. ❤️

[@leehamilton8344]

I had an antibiotic that made me feel so awful, that I dreaded taking it. Hope you are correct! Nice to see a smiling Mary.

[@stopwatchingyoutubeespecia5795]

Sick days for me are hard ( being asthmatic) , can't imagine what it is like for you. I send you good wishes, and are really happy you are feeling better.

[@mmmmlllljohn]

Cracked me up ... “those are shorts!”. You two are the best! Hope you are on an upswing now, Mary! ❤️🇨🇦

[@k.pep.1253]

Mary: “I wonder if this tastes good..” Me: ..waiting for the Chomp* 🤣 Peter & the cow hair.. Mary & Peter’s shorts.. You two are hoots and I love it!

[@susanhillard6190]

I'm so glad you're better! You are making jokes And your smile is back!

[@cindygartner157]

So happy to see you feeling better! Your singing, that song and the cows hair, made my day.

[@aunttaiche9155]

Another thing that is life giving is hearing Mary sing and praising Jesus! So glad you’re feeling better!

[@lauramoore7337]

Great swan painting! Glad you are feeling better!

[@jamigrace720]

Hahaha Mary always assuring that Peter is wearing shorts xD you guys are a riot. Also, thanks for the song!

[@neenee7362]

Wonderful to see you feeling better!!

[@MsBrat1967]

I love your painting Mary and I am glad your feeling better.

[@samcu1379]

My mom picked up some free bricks once. Their still in a pile in our yard 😂

[@kimberlyiuliano6358]

I love seeing you back to a feeling good a vibrant Mary. 🥰

[@haileyhudson4157]

Mary, I’m so happy you felt well enough to do all of those things!

[@shannonhainline]

Love seeing the Frey Family! Especially when Mary is feeling well. And I love the swan painting. And Peter’s response was precious. God bless you all.

[@joycechivis6317]

I’m glad to see you’re doing so much better!

[@avv2795]

If it’s the antibiotic maybe you can take it at night and sleep the yuck away if they can’t give you something else.

[@lauranorwar]

You should take it an hour before bed, because often laying down right after taking it contributes to nausea.

[@pattyfluegel7816]

Glad you are feeling better Mary!

[@olingecko]

I'm so excited you went in a store! I feel the safest at Costco even when it's busy there.

[@amykremer6891]

Oh Mary!! I am sooo happy to see you feeling better! Wahooooo! May God bless you and keep you - as well as Peter, Ollie, and Harry! Prayers for continued health from Southern California!!

[@bailsalg8403]

mary i love when you share your little wins like loading the dishwasher. it makes me feel so good when I don't think i was as productive as I could have been. small wins!! all about not taking those things for granted

[@ashack09]

I love shopping to and grocery shopping my bf not so much I use to go grocery shopping at like 3 am since it was so empty it worked amazing

[@a_HUMAN_bEiNg]

Yay! So happy to see you’re feeling better!!!! Love you guys! ❤️

[@karenwood9593]

so glad you found your joy today!

[@bktamp]

So happy to see you feeling better today! Plus I love when y’all are in the kitchen!!

[@sarahblanford80]

Love the "those are shorts" at the end. 🤣

[@shannone1471]

I am so happy you had a good day!!

[@jduggan4129]

MARY IT WAS SO NICE TO SEE YOU FEEL BETTER. LOVE YOU GUYS. JOANNA CALIFORNIA

[@kittymervine6115]

I like the purple cabbage idea! Also one way to know you are feeling BETTER is your creative side comes back! I know! Looking forward to seeing swans in the shop!

[@kristyhilt7317]

You can always freeze some of your peppers, if you don’t use them fast enough.

[@IMChrysalis]

I do that... I cut my peppers into slices or dice them, and freeze them in a ziplock or container to use later... saves me crazy amounts of time when I'm not feeling well... but I also LOVE stuffed peppers... precooked rice, hamburger, onions, a little seasoned tomato sauce, and baked ... yum!

[@kellym1148]

So glad you felt better! I took doxy a few years ago for Lyme disease and it was awful. I ended up in the ER from it a few days in. It made my blood pressure drop so low I passed out in the kitchen. Stay well!!

[@bionicprincess8008]

Mary, you are looking great. So happy you are feeling better. I hope you have been able to get vaccinated. We are all looking forward to spring 😎🙏🏻💗

[@lisabiziarek5864]

Thank you Mary. That song reminds us that we are not alone. Take care.

[@wolfsrule100]

I’m so glad you had a good day!

[@melissakoon2097]

The grocery store Fareway has an hour to have the disabled and elderly to shop

[@kerivandenbosch3375]

Very cool 😎 painting 🖼 Mary!

[@rachelderks4639]

Glad your feeling better Mary

[@cheapthriftymom7284]

So glad you are feeling good today! Yay! 😁☀️🌸

[@susanbennett9062]

Mary thank you for reminding me to enjoying the simple things ❤🧡💛

[@fralinsandfriends]

So glad you had a good day. I pray it continues. God bless. 😀👋💖

[@laurieweideman9607]

I’m so happy you’ve had this great day. Thank you, Lord.

[@ladawnnoble7699]

Hi Mary, Peter, Ollie, and Harry! I've been following you all since I was 18, I'm 26 now and I feel like I've grown with you! So glad you are feeling more human!

[@tjae6462]

So glad you had a good day! You can chop your peppers and freeze them for future use!

[@lisahayes8595]

LOVE Scan & Go. I can't believe everyone doesn't use it.

[@imogenoliver]

Lol, Mary saying she’s gotta chop something makes me think that in another life she would be a surgeon 😂☺️.

[@melanie98d]

hooray for good days!!! Mary, that color looks really good on you!

[@BNHAalltheway]

Praise God You felt good today and You went for a walk You guys are awesome God Bless

[@tamberjune]

What a lovely sunset. That's perfect with your hand. Peter, it's okay. One slip up isn't going to make it ruined for the whole year! We go to sam's club right before. We use the Scan and Go and they check your phone/receipt yeah and it's easy! No lines and it's much safer! I agree Scan N Go is awesome. We need to get all new food soon and I should make the list while I have an appetite from my meds! You've helped me with making my food freezer friendly and little tips! Thanks! Also all the CF help. 💜 Nobody else has really guided me. Just treated.

[@jeanlee1911]

give yourself grace peter! xoxoxox

[@kristen6740]

I am so happy and thankful that Mary and Harry are feeling better today 💜💜🐾🐾🙏🏻. # FreyFamStrong💜✨ Kisses for Ollie boy 🐾🐾

[@triciaann4086]

I’m so happy your happy and healthy today! I’m praying for you as I always do sweet lady bless you. 🥰💕♥️

[@kimmyj9617]

You can also pre-chop and freeze peppers! I do that all the time. Glad you were feeling better!

[@lainey1675]

PRAISE GOD!! 💕 I'm glad you had a good day Mary :))

[@teresa2334]

They are wonderful

[@lynnethwaytes7944]

Glad your feeling better Mary. Anytime I'm on antibiotics I feel dreadful xx

[@masunshine2970]

Mary, you can wash your peppers, let them dry then cut them open and slice them into strips. Place them on a tray and pop them in the freezer when frozen take them out and put in freezer bags and put back into the freezer. I did that last summer and am still using them. They freeze perfectly.

[@sarahseedtostem]

I have to start taking pancreatic enzymes to help with my digestion and I immediately thought of you Mary.

[@mrs.r7023]

Mary is back!! Let the soup fixins begin = )

[@karenmiller5267]

I love to listen to you sing Mary

[@carolynlong9148]

Mary it's so great to see you feeling better and doing all the thing's you love. Pray for me I woke up with a migraine today and that unfortunate nausea. I sent my migraine medication to the pharmacy but it won't be ready until tomorrow. Looks every body's having taco's I made ground beefs ones with refried beans and my favorite pico deilguyo. Thanks for sharing you're day and listening to mine god bless.

[@lindawright7531]

Mary I have had a migraine today. Cant get comfortable no matter what I do and been fighting nausea. Couldn't help but think of you . Hope you continue feeling better. God bless you and Peter.

[@thefreylife]

So sorry to hear that friend! We are praying for you! You got this friend! 💜💜💜

[@sunny4jenny]

Sweet Peppers idea! Make stuffed peppers for dinner- chop up the rest to save some in freezer and snack on the rest😋

[@itynotbity]

Love when Mary laughs like that (at the end of the vlog)! Ok so please let me know who sings the worship song Mary was singing with and the name of the song. It was beautiful! ♥️ So glad Mary is feeling better!!

[@BeccasHappyPlace]

You can also chop the peppers and freeze them.

[@heatherasquith-hull6785]

Hi Frey life really glad you are feeling better I always buy my vegs in bulk and freeze straight away even sweet Bell peppers. They always defrost really well.

[@grandmalin4999]

You can dice and freeze peppers..I mix with diced onions and freeze in baggies to use in receipes when I am not in the mood to prep.

[@kindralanae]

I chop or slice and freeze peppers to use in cooking later... they're not good for fresh eating but they work great cooked.

[@Stacey67643]

Love little Harry......

[@haileyhudson4157]

And I can relate to struggling to get in fruits and veggies when my GI issues are flaring up. I stick to lots of potatoes as well! Also bananas and zucchini normally work ok for me.

[@zanyscraftingcorner3075]

Bell peppers are also super easy to freeze!!

[@Madisondmclean]

I very much resonate with I feel good, I’ve got to chop something.

[@barbarabyram9670]

I chop the extra peppers and freeze them. Not as good for salads but work great to use in cooked dishes

[@amorgan78]

I go in the first hour that stores are open and I have had good luck with kroger, sprouts and walmart that way

[@jean9780]

Sunset is a end of day blessing till God gives us a beautiful sunrise to start a new day, so walk with him always...

[@jademccardle9074]

Hi hope ur day better xxx

[@kathywaddington1978]

Have you tried Brunswick Stew. You can make it with Peter's barbecue meat. Lot's of Veggies

[@suexyong1742]

I love the song you played and sang. What is the title and artist name of this song? Hope you continue feeling much better each and every day and regards to your CF.

[@luannprickett2863]

You can chop and freeze the peppers, too!

[@juliemartin199]

Self Checkout in SAM’S = life changing!!! 😁😁 AND Cut your peppers in half and put cream cheese on it with “Everything but the Bagel seasoning!” ALSO life changing!! Haha😆

[@dianastapleton1050]

Yes it worked mary I thought that was so cool I never would of that about that with the sunset

[@catloverKD]

Maybe you have more mucus because the antibiotics are working, and whatever is in there is working its way out? Just a thought. Also, I realize I'm preaching to the choir here, but if you're going to do your shopping right before close, please be kind to the employees. They've worked a full shift and really want to go home by then.

[@eej1983able]

Made it through my dentist appointment! 😇🙌🙌 God is good!!!

[@thefreylife]

Yay!! That is awesome Erin! 💜

[@kimwatts2359]

I have very similar issues with just about every single antibiotic I'm not allergic to. It is so difficult to know that the meds you need to help you get well are adding horrible horrible symptoms to the ones you already have. I am praying that your bad days ARE from the meds and that soon you'll have many more "human" days.

[@Dannibec55]

You can chop and freeze your peppers!!! 🫑 🥶❄️🫑🥶❄️🫑🥶❄️🫑🥶❄️🫑🥶❄️🫑🥶❄️

[@carolbuchel3011]

Mary, I just rinse off extra peppers and pop in the freezer whole. They last a long time!!

[@coley611]

I am currently in my first trimester with our rainbow baby and dealing with morning sickness...baked potatoes are one of the few things I can eat right now ;)

[@Elisa98438]

Bahahaha! I thought that cheese shredder was a purse for a second.

[@debraphipps1028]

So great to see y'all share your faith on KZbin so many don't it's refreshing God bless just remember God is walking with you through it all hope your day get easier in Jesus name I pray

[@lizdowning6134]

Antibiotics can be the worse sometimes in their side effects. The cocktail of antibiotics they gave me for my ulcer recently made me so ill it just made things worse and I said I will just ride out the ulcer. Perhaps one day they can come up with something to ease their side effects. Nice to see you having a break from the nauseousness and exhaustion

[@misspepe7416]

The mucus situation reminds me of times before trikafta. Didn't it used to take time for the antibiotics to make a visual change. I pray they work!

[@lindawright7531]

Mary I love the swans.

[@joduffield7500]

I have a delicious recipe for stuffed bell peppers you may want to try Mary. You start with a lb of turkey sausage ( Jimmy Dean is what I use ) cooked and crumbled with small diced onion. Add a box of couscous and cooked per recipe with chicken stock for the liquid. Add a large diced tomato. Cook until couscous is done. Slice pepper in two. Place in bake dish. Stuff. Add a small amount of water to bottom.Bake at 350 covered with foil for 35 min. Last ten min, place a slice of havarti cheese on top and finish baking without foil. It's so yummy.

[@morrislevine9591]

I understand the fight

[@marilan3455]

I’m so glad you’re having a good day! My first thought when y’all were on the deck looking at the sunset with screaming sirens in the background was, “Oh man I hope the cops don’t end up in the back yard again!” 😬😂. Mary, do you ever freeze your peppers? I do and it works for cooking them but not for eating raw. That beautiful song reminded me of my aunt. She’s in hospice due to congestive heart failure and extensive cancer. We lost my uncle, her husband, Feb. 20th and she went into the hospital 6 days later. Her cancer was diagnosed then. The chorus about being “old and gray and my days numbered... my joy/hope has been in Jesus”, I know is true for her. It is a wonderful thought! *Sorry for taking license with the lyrics.

[@analuisa1214]

I hate when I have to take a medication and it makes me sick. After breast reduction I have to take injections for 7 days plus antibiotics and it had to be in the morning, so from 9 am to 3 pm I was useless, it wasn't debilitating but it was really annoying and I was always afraid I would pass out. I kinda hope it is the medication, because then it will be over really soon (I think the last day is today?) and you will feel better!
