WOULD WE LEAVE? | CONTROVERSIAL? |DEALING WITH HATE?| Somers In Alaska

[@ellenbedford3888]

If the haters ever get to you, look at the wall behind you - that’s a lot of love right there! I’ve been picked on and bullied. A good friend taught me - it’s about them, not you. And it’s very very true! Love you guys!

[@lorettajones5076]

That is great Ellen

[@charitys.3862]

Exactly, said it perfectly!

Anyone who could be nasty towards your family should be ashamed of themselves. Your family is lovely 🥰

[@KateCarew]

Well, if anyone has an issue with any of your family they’re nuts! You guys are great! I don’t generally enjoy family content but your channel really resonates 🙏🏻❤️🙏🏻

[@lynnmartinez6122]

Jessica, would you consider creating a zip up the front hoodie rather than a Pull over? My elderly mom and her "buddies" love my Alaskan Apparel hoodies but they struggle to raise their arms up over their heads. Just checking!!

[@pisicacutecat4869]

Great idea.

[@bonnied3550]

Definitely a great idea, especially for being able to layer up at the beginning of the day and be able to peel layers easily, without messing hair, as it warms up as needed😃👍🏼 I will say though, I love how you have added the extra length to cover the bum and front area for modesty reasons😃👍🏼 Also did you sell out of everything at your last launch? Loving having a blog from your family every day and greatly appreciate it, especially knowing it is a lot more extra work. 😃👍🏼👏🏼👏🏼

[@frenchysandi]

I think that’s a great idea. I have arthritis and am 72 and usually don’t like pull over things.

[@frenchysandi]

Save my starving children is a great organization to do as a group.

[@rousingtherelics]

That would be awesome. I’ve had both shoulders surgically repaired, and although younger, I also, have trouble with pull over tops. I haven’t ordered yet but will if a zip up comes in!

My hubby and I dealt with infertility for 11 years and needed a lot of medical help, before being able to have our son. We named him Nathaniel because it means "gift from God" because that is what he was to us.

Tall Poppy Syndrome. The more popular you get, the more trolls come to cut you down. I've experienced this in the real world. I was raising major money for charities, like in the 100s of thousands of dollars AND people involved began attacking me. Let no good deed go unpunished. You keep moving forward. Do what's best for you. Ignore them. Delete them. Easier said than done, but it's the only option.

I was disappointed to hear you get haters. Such a good family sharing life, what is there to hate? Found you I think since I was in that area 40 yrs ago. Not all videos are something I watch, but I am curious about HVAC and construction, so guessing maybe that was how KZbin suggested. I think you have a great family, I’ve considered Alaska, but too cold for me. Already in Northwest Oregon, I spend double the energy of neighbors to keep house, shop, garage heated. Appreciate many of your shows. I’ve been researching HVAC, because resistance heat for garage and shop is getting too expensive. Thinking of DIY mini-splits. The cost of extending gas, permits, and landscape destruction makes me want to stay electric for outbuildings, or maybe cheap 2nd hand pellet stove. Keep up the good work! May God keep blessing your family.
