Oliver's Trying New Snacks, A Little Grocery Haul & Don't Give Anything Away! Home Vlog

[@winnieyee3866]

My kids have always eat what the rest of the family eats. We usually eat early so the whole family eats together and the kids see what we eats. We just make theirs more plain and add the spices or favouring to our meals. I have make waffles, pancakes (can find brands that have extra proteins for the kids), zucchini fritters, veggie quiche, etc and freeze them for our meals. The kids loved them. I still do that now. Easy after school snacks or for lunch box. Slow cooker is great as well for big batch cooking and portion out for meals for another day. Batch cooking really can help with grocery bills as well.

[@siriuslymay]

my sister and I were just talking about this yesterday. I don't know how you are doing it,filming and editing all day to get us quality videos every single day. thank you for all you are doing. your hard work shows and I know it must be getting difficult to be away from the family. I just want you to know we appreciate you and all the work you are putting into these videos

[@kristinadacus7691]

The t-shirts came out so awesome! You will love the Factor meals. My friends love the filet, chicken burrito bowls, salmon. So delish! Have a great week!

Seeing ari's response to getting cast is what sold it for me for some reason lol it was just so pure and genuine

I love batch cooking & do the same thing with chicken! I make a huge batch and then use it in salads, fajitas, with broccoli and rice, etc. As a microbiologist, though, I take the extra step of storing it in separate portions for each meal. That way I’m not opening the same container multiple times per week and exposing the remaining food to airborne contamination (typically mold) or whatever is being used to spoon it out, which can then grow on the food. Not a huge deal if you eat it quickly enough, mold is everywhere, and small amounts don’t typically make us sick, but I just prefer to take the extra step of sealing the food separately and the only opening the container once.

[@amandap8936]

@SoniaDekker how do you cook the chicken? The idea of this seems great!

[@SoniaDekker]

@@amandap8936 I just throw it in the crockpot with about 4 cups (big carton) of broth and sometimes a packet of ranch seasoning, and cook it on low for 8 -10 hours then shred in the crock before separating out into individual containers. I love how easy it is!

[@amandap8936]

We love the Bahama Breeze nearby Margaritaville Resort. They have awesome shrimp tacos that have a little heat to them and a great salmon dinner.

Jenn, "Don't give anything away. Hoard it all." LOL!!! Love the tie-dyed shirts. They turned out well. We have a few tie-dyed shirts as well.

[@shereewordell2433]

Love your tie dye shirts, they’re all awesome. Love the Mickey ears on them!

[@velocity1012]

I think it's great to get kids used to milk substitutes. Pasteurized milk is safe. Raw cows milk (what you might find at a farmers' market) is where you have a risk of bird flu in the milk.

[@meatiethatsme2471]

Jackson is super smart. He's like a little adult. Lol!!! Both children are adorable! Lovely family.

[@thebeckyzone]

Avocado tip! As soon as they ripen on the counter, put them in the refrigerator. They keep for days that way. We buy the big bags from Sam’s/Costco for our avocado obsessed toddler and they hardly ever go bad after we started doing it!

[@jennywackershauser8473]

I love that you are a conscientious consumer. As someone who works in the dairy industry and grew up on a dairy farm - I do want to say that all of the recent research on the Bird Flu in dairy cattle 100% show that PASTURIZING works. All of the milk sampled going back nearly 4 moths has shown that their is dead virus in the milk but there is no live virus. That is exactly how pasturization is supposed to work. Please do not feel worried about feeding your children pasteurized dairy products. The same thing is the case with all of our food systems. An abundance of caution is great until we get more information, but science works and we continue to see that there has not been any risk to the general public through the consumption of pastuerized dairy products. As alwasy - enjoy the content!

[@maryfowler7507]

Those are super super cute cute shirts for everybody Tim’s is my favorite but awesome family matching time. Absolutely love ❤️ love 💕 love 💗 it. Love you guys

Would love to show you guys around if you visit Japan again🇯🇵❤️ Fantasy Springs is AMAZING btw!!

[@TheLesMiserablesCats24601]

Wicked the Musical is currently in it's 20th year on Broadway, I do believe it's still touring and does make frequent stops to the Orlando area. Some effects are notably different between the currently running Broadway production and the National Tour.

[@gemmalownds9968]

That was the cutest little tye dye t shirt iv ever seen ❤❤❤

[@Topps.degenerate]

Ripple helped my son's refulx, I also swear it makes him grow like you wouldn't believe. And he loves the stuff. 4 years strong.

[@xMsPlague]

I love that style of pancakes puffs, Kodiak brand makes some that have some added protein incase you wanted to check those out. So excited for Tiana’s, we got a CM spot & an AP spot. Can’t wait to see it at night 💚

[@soaplove7675]

I like how Tim is phasing out the "home vloooog" intro. Don't feel forced to do it if you're not feeling it anymore.

[@michaelastead7596]

My daughter took me to London for the weekend as my birthday present and we saw wicked at the theatre, it was amazing and a brilliant twist on the wizard of Oz ❤

[@Sillygoose2004]

I'm loving this video I really enjoy a home vlog

[@heathertune7053]

You guys will love Factor. We tried them for a month and really liked the. There are five of us so financially it just didn't work for us but I really did like the meals we tried. It was so easy to have dinner in just two minutes per meal. I felt great after I ate the meals too, not overly full and heavy. I wish we could keep up with them because they are definitely a good thing.

[@brenda1806]

Our 3 year old went through a pancake puff phase. We found them at Trader Joe’s. Anything that gets them eating in the morning before school 😂

[@chantellecampanini6411]

I highly recommend seeing Wicked on broadway! It is sooo phenomenal, I’d love to see it again! I grew up going to broadway shows and have seen many and that is by far the best one! Also little fact, Idina Menzel played the wicked witch on broadway and she was still in it when I seen the show. That’s where she got her start.

[@nikkioverkamp]

So excited to see how you like the Factor meals!!! They almost have me 😂

[@ajserviced.1760]

Oh my the tie dye shirts look so good😍 I hope to make shirts with my sister on our vacation in 2026😊 This was nice to see what foods are ate and how family life at home is😊 very nice home vlog😊 Thank you for sharing. Be Safe Take Care 😊❤

[@robinduke3184]

You have healthy, happy children, so “Way to go, Mom and Dad” is the only comment needed. 💛 I’ve seen Wicked twice on Broadway and it was amazing. You will never watch The Wizard of Oz the same way again.😊

The stage production of wicked is phenomenal! You should try to see it, the singing is incredible!

[@Amby99]

I couldn't get into the book Wicked but I absolutely love the musical. I can't wait for the movie!

[@battlegroundbiscuits]

10:57 I’ll be very curious to see what you think of Factor because I have been debating whether I should try it (mostly curious about the vegetarian options) BUT more importantly, have you heard of Littlespoon? It’s a meal delivery service for babies/kids. We had Story on it with purées originally and she went into the microwavable plates. She LOVED them for years. They use a lot of organic ingredients and sneak veggies in where they can AND you can freeze them. Just a recommendation! I think it would really be a good fit for y’all 😊

[@emilystaylor89]

YES JAPAN PLEASE!! Seeing how little kids go in these theme parks will be great 😊

[@karenwadlin1761]

In our area we can purchase completed meals. They’re handy for busy nights. You are a very busy family I can’t imagine 😊 I follow a woman and she helps with meal prep, a week or month of prepped meals. I enjoy her.

[@regcovrn1837]

I did Factor for a couple of months, but found after awhile the meals also became repetitive especially the vegetables….once you do a few months the meals just recycle. Some meals are offered every week or two. I also found breaking down all the packing/ ice packs gets old lol and the cost vs local grocery shopping can be more expensive. The food was pretty good though for premade meals.

[@debkrutsch6197]

I saw Wicked on stage - it was amazing!! Absolutely loved it!!

[@gomomgo74]

We have seen Wicked 3 times. First on our honeymoon in NYC ! We took our two teenagers last year. It is the absolute best. Best music ever.

[@horseenthusiast]

I love Factor. So convenient, delicious (90% are- they’re not all home runs) and I lost 100 lb in a year by eating them for lunch & dinner 6 days a week!

[@jacominoc]

I do Factor sometimes. It’s good and convenient but at times I feel like all the dishes start tasting similar, like they use the same seasoning on most stuff. At least the weeks are easy to skip if you need to.

[@lisa4bells]

So my sister lives in Florida and works at DAK. She has several dogs that she shows and competes with. Well, one of her dogs is named Wicked. And she took Wicked to the cast of Wicked on Broadway and got their picture taken with the dog. : ) If you ever get a chance to see it on Broadway, go see it. Every time it comes to Kansas City, we always go! Have seen it several times. Can't wait for the movie!!!

[@The_Alexandra_B]

We used to get factor meals like 4 years ago and we really liked them. The only downside was that I really loved the Green Goddess bowl but they stopped offering it and it never came back. The meals started to get repetitive which I find is a problem with all subscription services. Right now we get Home Chef.

[@dawnheady]

My hubby and I found Factor meals tasted even better when we warmed them in the oven and then plated the meal.

[@JodiDavidson-z3h]

Awe Oliver little voice so sweet

[@PoemsfortheClassroom]

I love that you get Jackson the pancakes for breakfast. My brother went through a stage of only eating McDonalds fries. Breakfast, lunch and dinner. The doctor said to just roll with it. It went on for about a month before he got sick of them.

[@kellyAnn765]

Love the factor dinners.But hubby says there not filling enough love the video

[@charlene3954]

My pediatrician told me my child isn't a cow, so she doesn't "need" cows milk! They can get the calcium elsewhere. I have a very healthy 4 year old who never liked cows milk. 😊 The t-shirts look great 😃

[@its_clean]

My brother is very knowledgeable about nutrition and has said something similar. He told me- can you think of any other creature on the planet that continues to drink milk in adulthood, and not only its own milk, but the milk from another animal? The human body is not intended to consume milk perpetually, and babies and children are certainly not required to drink cow's milk as a vital part of their physical development- not saying they can't, just that they don't have to. He's not opposed to dairy, and we both enjoy eating cheese, ice cream, yogurt, etc. His point was just that it's not necessary for the human diet, and there's no nutritional harm to eliminating dairy if you have an intolerance or allergy or simply choose to do so for personal reasons, so long as you are still getting your macros and micros in the rest of your diet. Makes total sense to me.

[@SoniaDekker]

Yeah I hate cows milk too (except in recipes). I find it gross all by itself though.

[@momowesche7441]

@@its_clean that’s my opinion exactly! I’m not vegan or allergic, but drinking another mammal’s milk just creeps me out!

My grandson was breast fed and refuses to drink cows milk. He says it's disgusting 😂

[@imakeajiffypuff4525]

I just recently saw Wicked for the third time. I love it every time I go! The movie will be fine I'm sure, but there's nothing quite like seeing a Broadway production live on stage. PLEASE buy tickets for a date night with Tim the next time it comes to your area.

[@elainelovesflorida]

Love this video! Just wanted to tell you that we are doing Factor too. We did it a few months ago, stopped, and now started up again. There’s 3 of us, all adults, and we each really like Factor. Hope you do too.

[@kimberlyschleicher5292]

I really enjoy Bahamas Breeze we have one here in Michigan, We always get the pasta with the chicken. I didn't know you had one in Orlando. I love you videos, I have been watching you all for so long.

[@elleemen4238]

Cow’s milk alternatives are a great idea! For so many reasons ….

[@DanielleHeinowski]

Yes! People are weirdly obsessed with cows milk and always question why people use alternatives.

[@SoniaDekker]

The taste and texture of alternatives is so much better.

[@pearface5370]

I tried factor for a while. But it started to get repetitive. I think the portion sizes might be a bit small for Tim. 😀

[@jaberoni]

I tried Factor and got bored of it in a month or less. It was repetitive and boring. However, Home Chef is my favorite so far and I’ve been with them for 6 months now (not including the 2 months paused for traveling). They do have oven-ready meals too if you don’t feel like cooking. 🧑🏽‍🍳 The tie-dye shirts look wonderful! You did an amazing job! 👏🏼 Oliver with his “row row row” 🥹

[@ashleybritt2449]

Hey everyone I love all the vlogs

[@brigittebosshardt]

We did factor and cook unity for a few months after our second baby. Definitely convenient but I did get super sick of the meals haha definitely prefer hello fresh or fresh meals to make.

[@its_clean]

I did Factor for about a year and it was a massive convenience boost, and the meals were pretty decent. I wouldn't call them "gourmet" though- the quality was pretty good, but the selection was relatively basic. A lot of chicken breasts (not my favorite), simple greens or beans, and a starch or starch substitute. If that's what you like, it's a slam dunk- one of my friends LOVES Factor, but it got a little repetitive for me. I switched to CookUnity last year and haven't looked back. Slightly more expensive, but if you want real GOURMET in a box, CookUnity is the one. Massive variety of different cuisines- Chinese, Japanese, Thai, Vietnamese, Mexican, Italian, South American- and speaking as both a Chinese-American and a foodie, a lot of it is astonishingly authentic and well-prepared. The catch is, CookUnity clearly puts their focus on flavor and quality, while Factor focuses more on nutrition, so Factor is still healthier by far. Some of the CookUnity meals are super high in calories and not very nutritionally balanced, but boy do they taste good!

[@alexxgonzz]

Jenn if you read the wicked book just know it's very different from the musical. It has some suggestive stuff to say the least that I promise are not in the musical and will not be in the movie. it really is a beautiful story in general though. I adore it.

[@aprilloewen9219]

Thanks for sharing everything about the prescription meals lve been contemplating weather or not to try them 😊

I got the cast preview of it for June 24th 5:30-6:30 and can bring 2 guests if you wanna come 🤷🏻😂 my dad got it for the day before.

[@caitlynskiff2001]

I never understood why you make separate meals for Jackson. I mean, I get Oliver because he's a baby. But once my siblings and I were past the baby/toddler food phase, we all ate the same meal. Wicked is one of my favorite musicals! But I could never get into the book. I am so excited for the movie though!

[@missydomingo907]

I think it’s cuz they like doing the food boxes and kids are very picky and she said she is making chicken for all of them 😊

WICKED is the BEST broadway show ever !!! One of my favorites

[@monicahaller3330]

I never comment, but I always like all your videos. Your videos make me happy, I decided to comment because I love Wicked, I went to see it on Broadway in New York last year, it was the best show ever. Well, it’s the only show I’ve ever watched on Broadway, but I’m going in July to New York again and I plan on seeing the Lion King. I even named one of my plants Elphaba. I’ve never read the book but I am so looking forward to the movie. Soundtrack is awesome also. Also I used to get Factor meals all the time. They are so good. You’re gonna enjoy them.

Jen- my grandson drinks Ripple for Kids. He was allergic to milk (like my daughter was as a baby) so he was on Soy formula. When it was time to go off formula the dr said whole milk, but my daughter knew he wouldn’t be able to tolerate it. She looked and researched and Ripple for Kids had all the same vitamins etc as whole milk. He still drinks it and he will be 3 soon. The regular Ripple doesn’t have as much of the good stuff as Ripple for Kids. We get it at Target in NJ.

[@nadinequintieri3621]

Is Jenn driving again? Sounds like it. She said that Tim is off for his haircut and she's off to the grocery store and I also think she said that she's picking up Jackdon from school. I'm so happy that she is back to driving. Way to go Jenn!!!

[@ninafawcett2042]

Hi Jen..I know on youtube you can see videos of the musical...it is wonderful..I have seen it 14 times...Everytime I saw it in person you notice something new...I've seen it with Idina and others play Elphaba..She is the original...Years ago I even saw Adam Lambert play the Prince before he did American Idol...Look it up on KZbin first to see the musical or just the singing in the show before you see the movie to understand the storyline before you see the movie.
