Vlog | Slow Saturdays

[@kathleensauer3394]

I told my children when they were small they should look out for each other & they needed to be there for each other. They are now 31,33,& 36 & I still like to be in the next room listening to their laughter & banter w each other... it does warm a Mamas ❤️

Hey Jen, I turned vegan a few years ago and while doing some surfing on KZbin, I found your video regarding your decision to move to a more plant-based diet. I recently noticed that you have since started consuming chicken and some seafood. Not sure if you addressed this in a prior video but as a vegan convert myself, it would be interesting to know why you restarted with animal meat. I remember you had felt pretty strongly about it at the time.

[@ElaHumanRightLawyer]

I love slow day videos like these. Seeing how real life is for others. No need to produce super thought out content all the time.

[@caroled3309]

It's just so wonderful when siblings are friends! A total blessing for all.! And I completely agree in seeing the good that has come out of this sad, terrible time. There have undoubtedly been many lessons we have all learned in one way or another.

[@dinafair4576]

Can I just say Donny repeating the grocery haul was absolutely precious!! I love your Saturday, and all of the food sounded delicious.

[@aliciamoore2814]

Thanks for sharing this epic event with us Jen! We are moving to Seattle from AZ soon and I am very much looking forward to more hiking after watching your videos. 🫶🏼

The top of the clear lid (used to measure popcorn) you can melt butter in it while popping.

As a former US elementary school teacher now living and teaching in Tanzania, there is so much truth to what you said about the skill of imagination and free play. There is such a difference between kids who have obviously only experienced structured or entertainment focused play time, and those who have been given the space to create and be without other distractions. Obviously my students in Tanzania lack a lot of basic needs that put them at a disadvantage, but they also have developed so many important skills at such a young age that my students in the US sorely lacked. Thanks for starting the conversation about a really interesting and important topic!

[@WithWonder]

Thank you for sharing your experience and observations ☺️

[@stacyl6822]

The creative play your children do together is precious. I remember Saturday nights my mom would sometimes make popcorn and fudge as a special treat and we’d watch a movie. It always felt special- seeing you make the popcorn for the kids reminded me of that wonderful memory. 💕

[@kellycrooks4061]

Donny repeating every item in your grocery haul was the cutest thing I’ve seen today!

[@alannasweatman5027]

Hi Jen, lovely vlog as usual! I work for Amazon doing the Whole Food grocery orders. Just a tip, if you don't want the produce bags to be used, type that in the chat with your shopper. Otherwise, we are required to use the produce bags. Hope that helps :)

[@WannabeProv31Lady]

Great tip! Thank you. xo

[@WithWonder]

Wow, I didn’t know! Thanks for the tip ☺️

[@shannjess5223]

As a kindergarten teacher I noticed the children came back to Kindy happy and well adjusted many behaviours that some children had had disappeared. The children’s language development had grown and to sum it up they were happy. I know that this will not be the case for some children depending on the environment in which they were during lockdown. However it goes to show that families that slow down and spend time together benefit in many ways.

[@Jakefromstatefarm-cu6kz]

I absolutely loved this vlog. I have about 20 minutes to myself and halfway through my tension from the day left my body and I genuinely enjoyed my time. Now I’m off to work on my evening and this was just the best way to unwind! Thank you

[@tammycope3145]

I love seeing slow days with Jen! The kids are so cute! Thank you!!!

[@lindsaywedwick1246]

Donnie's little voice during your grocery haul is the sweetest! 🥰

[@1bestfriend2u18]

I agree, sometimes it seems kids get chauffeured around from one event to event as if time at home together is unbearable. We will only pass this season of our lives once. Embrace the moments and each season. Have the best available to you.

[@rebeccaotis8056]

As someone who works in the bakery/deli at a grocery store, I am horrified that they put carrots in the same bag with raw chicken. Hello, cross-contamination. Yes, they put them in plastic bags, but still ew.

[@jeanieh9386]

I love hot water with lemon in the winter! So soothing and I just don’t crave a lot of water in the cooler months. You seem much more settled in your spirit this week. It’s good to see.

[@WithWonder]

The lemon hot water is the best!

[@maleesaparadis9889]

Your kids are always lovely to see. Love slow Saturdays.

[@cookieinnadress9709]

Love your vlogs. It's just a little escape from my own little world. Like you do 2 Jen 😃✌🏻🤎🎈♥️

[@grenier70]

You should try using nutritional yeast on your popcorn... very healthy option and tastes like parmesan 😉☺️

[@MC-qp3tz]

I love nutritional yeast!

[@jringler2821]

Di Grenier yes. So good over popcorn with a little chilli lime it’s such a good option. I make a lot with it. Good substitute for parm cheese. Good to make cheese sauces or Mac and cheese. 👌🏽

[@rainalynns]

Lol. Maybe now that I haven't been eating dairy, I'll try that again. Last time I tried it, it was a bit of a disappointment.

[@Essencedancer98]

Have to admit I HATED nutrition yeast for years! But after trying it again, I absolutely love it with popcorn. It has to be the brand that makes a difference - I've tried numerous brands before figuring out which one I love, but in turn family hates. So it all depends

[@oliviajane1899]

Yes, I’ve heard the best things about nutritional yeast as well!

[@dianeandbrad529]

I feel like your videos lately are just show cases the same handful of products lately. Are you trying to get sponsorships? What is the process typically on how you get a sponsor? Do you have to showcase it first? Or do you reach out to companies? Do they reach out to you?

[@WithWonder]

Nope, I just share what I use and love and that tends to be the same things most of the time

[@cnrblog2660]

Donny sure favors your mother ☺️ he’s getting so big! 💗

[@yvettekennedy9902]

My children are great at entertaining themselves, too, and I am so thankful for that. There is something to be said though about the importance of and value in being bored. Boredom often sparks creativity. Malcolm Gladwell frequently talks about how necessary downtime for your brain is. It doesn't need to be constantly stimulated. Love this.

[@gypsytiques7651]

Do you ever do any arts and crafts with your children?

[@michellewilliams7386]

Hot lemon water is my jam. I just love drinking it when Im under the weather.

[@ninaduck]

Thanks for sharing the chicken noodle soup recipe. I made it tonight and it was so good!

[@pinksealight]

I’m so excited thank you for uploading Jen!!! xxx

[@WithWonder]

I'm excited you're excited!

[@banannabelles]

This was fun! Lovely to spend a chill Saturday with you all. :) TFS

[@MissSusyG]

Hi Jen it actually is Saturday today! Two weeks late but it’s Saturday! All the best 🤗

[@Paula-xp7ve]

Little kids have sooooo much energy! But they are adorable

[@kelleyhasapis1]

Love the intro with the music! A sweet day.

[@dianedraveski6485]

Do u still use your perfect tea maker? Or your Breville tea maker?

[@WithWonder]

I use the Breville daily - love it!

[@TessieDobey]

I miss taking my children to see the Nutcracker and the Rockettes Holiday Spectacular over the holidays. Hopefully everything will be better this coming holiday season.

[@WithWonder]

There’s always hope ❤️

[@csmtcqueen]

Slow days are the best days.

[@razberrie]

wheres your promised bullet journal video

[@WithWonder]

Friday ☺️ So sorry for the delay

[@nicolinavogel803]

Your hair looks amazing in this video!

[@chelseae.7063]

What are your favorite Steepologie teas? (Would be great to include in a video!). Also curious -- do you still use your Ember mug?

[@MsAnna4040]

I eat my popcorn with vinegar and salt. Weird, I know. The lime looks good too.

[@WithWonder]

I don’t think that sounds weird at all - sounds delicious to me! Like salt & vinegar chips, my fave

[@Jakefromstatefarm-cu6kz]

It sounds strange to me 😂😂😂😂 hey! If that’s what you like then all the power to you. ❤️❤️❤️

[@chrissybouchat101]

That’s sounds yum

[@TheSpanishClassroom]

I forget how many times little kids need to be fed! 💕

[@CatherineShoresHMN]

Omg...Donny’s little voice...😍

[@shirleys.537]

Thank you!

[@annieverghese8790]

Love watching how you spend your Saturday. I love pancakes on the weekend. You are an amazing mom 🤗Can you share the opening music, what is the name of the song, it caught my attention.

[@Rose-yd7bn]

Your kids are so sweet! I use the lemon wedge over and over again too! ❤️

[@WithWonder]

Oh good, I’m glad to hear I’m not the only one 😅

[@anneckhartvlogs]

Donny's little plaid Micky PJ's are tooooo cute!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@kemasa819]

Do you have plans to add closed captioning to your videos? Was having hard time hearing you in some parts 🙂

[@livlovmoi9945]

all/most of Jens vlogs are closed captioned, you just may have to press the cc button on the bottom of her video :) sincerely, a deaf/hard of hearing follower :)

[@kemasa819]

I did, but it said it wasn’t available on this video. It’s working now though! Thanks! 😀

[@courtneyfink5880]

Do you still get up at 5 on the weekends? I struggle with sleeping in. I have to get up super early still or I feel stressed

[@celeste_lives2747]

Donny listing the grocery is the sweetest 🥰

[@bluebell3441]

Well done. That was Beautiful! I agree for all its negatives of 2020. You could slow down without feeling guilty .

[@MissEllolisoss]

Now I want popcorn too 😅🤣✌️

[@megablessedgram]

Very sweet, slow comfortable day at home with your LOVES! 💗💙

[@leannew.5109]

Please tell us where you got jar you keep popcorn in please please please

[@tonyahenry4167]

Went out on a Saturday to get grocery because I work weekdays 8-12 hours man that was the worst decision of my life the stores were packed walk to wall traffic I live 20 minutes outside of Chicago it was madness

[@chicmommaplants9692]

Jen you might have mentioned it already but where is the container you stores the lemons from? sorry so silly of me...you can sell me anything...only YOU! ;)

[@toddray275]

Yum Yum I will be trying that meal. Prayers to you and the Family!!

[@TXMakeupJunkie]

I loved your vlog! Thank you for sharing!

[@malloykl]

Goodness! Donny was the cutest calling out the name of the foods. Sweet!

[@PaperRenee]

Lovely vlog. I really miss having little ones in the house - they grow up so fast!

[@amandastempel8677]

love the vlog and music. When did you purchase the sweatshirt? I looked on the website, bit don't see it. Which Apple Watch do you have? I am trying o decides if I should buy one or just stick with my Fitbit that I don't love

[@WithWonder]

I got the sweatshirt only last week, it’s new to the site I think. I have an Apple Watch 4, still going strong! I love it

[@DfarrahB]

Thanks for a lovely video. Slow days for the win!

[@marieh5567]

I have one of those mugs that says 'caffeine' on it & it's my favourite morning coffee mug. Sometimes I fill it twice 🤣

[@JoJo-rp1uc]

Really enjoyed! Thanks for sharing. Take care Jen.

Stupid question, but do they sleep on that floor?

[@patricialeehunt]

Oh my goodness! Thanks so much for that popcorn🍿 trick! Looks so great and I can't wait to try it out! 😊 Thanks so much for your content!

[@MJeanzy]

When did your kids get so big?! :). Thanks for sharing - they are so cute.

I swear they grow by a foot a week!

The hand thrown pottery mug is from Marsha’s Clay Art. I love, love, love her beautiful work

[@charlene3954]

What a great surprise! That soup looks delightful ❤️❤️

[@jesswnukow]

Loved this 💕💕

[@kathleensauer3394]

I love making chicken soup too & my recipe looks similar .... My “ cheat” is buying the grocery store rotisserie chicken! It’s already cooked & you just need to shred it!... I also do this for chicken salad & chicken a la king

[@heidishome2937]

A great Vlog. Great to see you happy and relaxed. Love your mug. Where can I find one?

[@WithWonder]

I’m not exactly sure as this was a gift but I know they sell Dunn Rae at Home Goods

[@JavaFirst]

I love lime more than lemon so definitely going to try that popcorn trick! I am allergic to yeast or I would try the yeast on popcorn. I've heard it is good.

[@jvera143]

I'm the same way with soup! Less broth the better! Give me all the veggies and noodles ha 😋

[@WithWonder]

Same!

[@CRG_]

Gotta try the lime and salt on the popcorn..

[@justmeboredascanbe]

Beautiful purple mug!

[@theresas8163]

Aww the excitement of the popcorn popper 🥰

The best excitement 😄

This chicken recipe was great! I actually made it probably the same day you did. As for the broth, I just add extra water.

Please, I wish you will do a video on grooming Winnie, I have a Shih Tzu and it will be so helpful to me . Your winnie always looks so cute.... thanks for sharing.

[@Gen1-Rev22]

Jen has videos on her other KZbin channel called WinnietheTzu tube.

[@WithWonder]

Yes I have a channel from many years ago dedicated to how I take care of Winnie. I don’t do quite that much with her anymore but the basics are the same

[@dianeandbrad529]

Pantsuit politics is far from bias.... if you’re using that as a filter for one of main sources of news, could be good to balance that out with a different source that is a bit more center as well... there’s a website that carries news from the left right and center and shows you headlines and articles about the same topic/event from each perspective. It’s not perfect but at least it tries...

[@WithWonder]

Exactly, that’s why it’s not the only source I glean news from ☺️

[@violettefemme21]

I'm glad I'm not the only one that struggles with those huge stickers on the Whole Foods delivery bags and then sticking to produce bags as I pull them out! So annoying. And I am with you on wishing there weren't soooo many extra plastic bags involved in doing grocery pickup/delivery. I know some people have success with putting in notes that they don't want them but I know that is extremely hit or miss.

[@justnikki23]

donny is so cute in his dress up. my son is very vocal on what he thinks a girl should wear vs. a boy. I swear I never teach him that. I'm always like it's ok to like toys that girls plays with..and he always like "NO, that's for girls"..🤦🏾‍♀️. bless you Jen..lol
