You need a couple of those heat generated fans for the top of your wood stoves. No electricity needed. They would help to move the heat forward during power outages.

Just the sound the snow makes under your boot tells me how cold it is.

Being on a well was the hardest part of losing power on our farm.

We have a well for water and just this summer we finally got a hook up so we could run the well pump off the generator. Too many power outages without water! Probably one of the hardest things for me to deal with. So I am tickled that my husband got that figured out.

The old fashioned coffee pot is great- So many times the old ways are the best ways. That tart looks amazing.

You are very prepared for whatever Mother Nature send your way! Have a Merry Christmas!

I’m so thankful your power outage didn’t last!! Tomorrow I hope you enjoy the best Birthday Party ever!! Praise the name of Jesus forever!! 💜🎄🔔☃️❄️

I hope y’all have a Merry and joyful Christmas 🎄 ✝️ Gods Blessings for your family today and always.

Praying for your family this Holiday season. May the love of the Lord bless you and your family during this rough weather .

After the 2020 Texas power outage “rolling blackouts” that didn’t roll for 4 days I feel your pain. Thankfully we had a gas barbecue pit to heat food and a fireplace for some heat in one room. But I have to tell you living near Houston we aren’t ready for freezing weather without power. Hurricanes with flooding rain we can handle as long as our house is high.

You don't have a generator? You should have refrigerator and freezer on generator. Maybe water pump and hot water heater too! Anyway...have a blessed Christmas and all the best for the new year!

Cranberry recipes looked delicious 😋 Going to try the bar recipe as I was practically """eating them """" with you!!!! Love watching you cook Jessica as you a great , what I call a wholesome family cook which from me is meant as a huge compliment 👏👏👏👏👏👏 So glad the power came back on and that you are all home safe and warm. MERRY CHRISTMAS ⛄⛄ Love from the UK x

Sweetie, you wanted the Alaskan experience, and you are living it with grace!! A very quiet Christmas Eve here, watching a Christmas movie! See you next visit! ❤️Momma G 🎄

I had laughed at “breezy” on my weather app earlier today as well. Somehow “breezy” doesn’t seem an appropriate description for below zero weather. The cranberry date bars are very interesting. Although I like dates, cranberries and caramel, I would never have put them together. Kudos for your grandmother for even trying that combination. They look delicious. Thanks for sharing. Merry Christmas to you and your whole family.

Merry Christmass. It's 6.30 am in the Netherlands, my family are still asleep and I would love to bake those cranberry bars. Unfortunately no cranberry in the house. Maybe for the best. Good to see you all are safe and warm. Being sensible is the best advice. Now I am gonna save that recipe of yours for the next year ;-)

I bet it was so cold with those winds!!! We had 50mph winds here in southern Michigan the past two days. The wind chills were 20 below zero. Praying you keep your power on!! Merry Christmas to you and your family!! Thanks for all you share!

Those bars - and all the cranberry recipes, actually - sound outrageously delicious! Maybe I'll make one of those, who knows? Have a blessed Christmas.

I am glad you are prepared and able to keep warm and safe without power! Your cranberry salsa looks delicious! I bought a tub of cranberry jalapeño dip from Costco and it’s so good. They are sold out now, I tried to buy another one today but I will have to make it instead, I think your recipe is what I will use and just mix in some cream cheese. I hope your family has a beautiful Christmas Day and make more wonderful memories. Thank you for putting out daily videos. They have kept me company and made a hard time much easier. You and your family are very special and I wish you all the best. ❤🎄❤️

Rest in peace Shaun, you are with the angels now!

By the golly, it is Christmas Eve, here in Maine, and it is 8 PM. I have enjoyed this vlogmas so much. How long did the moose stay in your yard, beneath the tree? That would fascinate me so much. Back in 1990, I won the lottery for hunting Moose, here in Maine. I shot a cow, she was 966 pounds, considered to be a large moose, for a female. She was 6 years old., they could tell her age, by extracting a tooth. It filled my freezer, plus I was able to share moose meat with my 9 children and their families, and so many other people. I used a 30-06 rifle, with a scope. I do not enjoy killing animals, but it was food for us, not just the sport of killing or claiming a trophy. I chose to pick a female, as they do not have antlers, therefore no trophy. Anyway, I love moose, and really enjoy watching them. There are MANY, here in our state. Your cranberry recipes look so delicious. The filling one, in the graham cracker crust, looks to be my favorite. It is so quiet here, being Christmas Eve. My children are all home with their families, and to be truthful, its lonely. They have their own traditions now, things are different. But, I have many memories of when they were all young. God bless you all, enjoy your day tomorrow. Hope you all have a pleasant, relaxing day. Love you...Bev in Maine

Thank you for your cranberry date bar recipe! I can’t wait to make it

Hi sweet one! That was some crazy wind! I am glad you got home safely! We had a busted pipe outside, but thankfully the plumber was in our neighborhood and came right over and fixed it! Pricey, but it is Christmas eve!! Your desserts look yummy! Hugs and many blessings!

What a lovely breakfast you cooked for your family in the dark.

I am in Wasilla and we still haven't been able to finish digging out: so much time is spent sp,it ting wood for heat and taking care of the family❤Certainly has been one for the record books 🤪😉

Girl, it's 17 in my house. Just went to wash a load and found my pipes froze. I had the rest of the faucets dripping last night and they're good. We are in Alabama! lol We can see our breath. We live in a super old house, not in the best condition. So we have all the sweaters and socks on. And you know what?? If we lost power, for one, thank God it's not in the summer and number two.... I remember what it was like growing up in the 70's, boiling water on the fire for wash water, reading books for hours and WHAT??? HAVING THAT COFFEE!! I can do everything pretty much if the power goes out. Water is another story sadly... no river near LOLOL Glad you guys are practical and prepared. Keep that pot honey, I have one too. As long as I have my coffee and my books, I'm good! ~~~~ shhhhhh warm ahhhhh

Merry Christmas to y'all. You did and are doing a great Job to make a cosy and Safe Home and yummy food. I'm watching from German and found you as the great snowfalls begann andcsincecthen I'm looking Forward to your vlog. I Love how y'all stand together, looking Forward to stay safe and Take Care of each other. I Wish you luck with your health isses, i by myself will stay in Hospital in the beginning of january to get my second surgical valve replacementvin 19 years, so i understand, how nervwracking and dissapointing this Bad News where for you. Take Care of you and lets pray for a Happy end for both of us 🤗♥️ god bless

Merry Christmas from here in England to you and your family, keep safe, warm and cozy. The cranberry bar looked delicious.

You have no idea what an impact binge watching you today has done for me. Aaron you've got this your a Wyoming boy, you have seen better wind storms in your home town! Wyoming prepares you for more then you ever know.

Merry Christmas to you and your family, it amazes me how you make my mouth water with your recipes, they look delicious. Have a fantastic day, God bless you and keep you all safe and warm xx

Merry Christmas 🎄 Hope Santa is good to all of you -- God Bless -- Stay warm ❄️

Some things I just use manual items, some things I use an electric, but have a manual item stored for power outage. One is none, two is one....

Merry Christmas blessing from my home to yours!! I am gonna make the cranberry date bars, they look wonderful!. I would love that cranberry tart recipe it looks fantastic, the color alone.

You sure did a lot even with early morning and kaus to start with. May I mention 11.1k and still climbing? I just wanted to say I told you so😉😁, And you and your family deserve it! You have worked hard to put out all these vlogs this month in the middle of so much life, and done an amazing job at it. Merry Christmas Milnes family and God bless.

Yummy treats thank God you have power In your house

The tart looked absolutely beautiful. What a lovely color. Merry Christmas!

Glad everyone made it home safe and you stayed warm through the wind storm. I love the cranberry date bars. They are one of my favorites, but sadly this year with everything in our lives changing we were not able to make them. Maybe I will make them as a belated holiday treat in January. Stay safe, warm and Blessed. Merry Christmas!

I love your Vlog even though the weather was unreal. You need one of them fans that sit on your stove and are powered by the heat.

Happy Christmas all have a great time 💞 🎁🎄🥳

Those bars look amazing. Ty for sharing. Merry Christmas Jessica.

Merry Christmas Eve ! Thank you everything looks amazing 🎄🎁🎄

Yum! Those look so delicious. Yay, for the power to be back on. My water was out this afternoon for a couple of hours. Break on Main Street! Grateful that it came back on! Merry Christmas Eve!

Merry Christmas from Kentucky hope y’all are staying warm and safe.

Jessica, you crushed this Vlogmas. Amazing job through it all. God bless and Merry Christmas.🎄

Thankfully our state power company didn’t turn our power off this week when our temperature was in the teens. They were in trouble in 2020 when people didn’t have power for up to 5 days.

❤️❤️merry Christmas to you and your family

We are always losing power also! Ugh! Your treats looked delicious! Hope you had a great Christmas!!🎄

I don't know what I'm going to do without vlogmas! I'm sure it's been a lot! Thank you

The tiramisu looks amazing!!

You may want to get another blender for daily use a have the old one for grinding hot peppers and horseradish projects in because they have a way of not washing out with out leaving some flavor in/on surfaces.

Merry Christmas from my family to yours ❤🎄🎁

Beautiful tart Jessica 😊

Merry Christmas!!

Merry Christmas to you and your family God bless

Merry christmas!! I'm going to have to make your cranberry date bar!! It looks so yummy!! I did make the shortbread raspberry Apricot bar you made a while back, and it is amazing...

I made several of your Christmas treats not sure how to add pics? Merry Christmas to you and your family, be safe and stay warm ❤

Luckily we didn’t lose power over here off Seward Meridian even though we were getting 70+ mph winds. It helps that our power lines are underground.

The power company in Tn is rolling power outages to save energy in these negative temperatures. Oh my 😊❤

Thank you Jesus Jessica

We have adopted Aaron's grandmother's pumpkin pie to my granddaughter's recipe book. I am going to try the cranberry date bars when the stores open Monday. What kind of blender do you have. It looks like it works great. I don't want to spend 400.00 on a Vita mix blenders. I know I won't use it to make it worth the money. I am still shopping for one that is reasonable. Hope you have a Merry Christmas. Glad you all made it home safe.

Here in Florida, we have to be hurricane ready. Our issue is without power, staying cool. Sit outside with a fan hooked up to a generator?😂 Merry Christmas
