Isn’t it so amazing how God guides us through life! Sometimes we get so busy it’s hard to hear his voice. So glad you listened ❤

Your family has become my family! As a 58 year old widow with no children, the ability to turn to your channel and fill my home with conversation, shared meals, Thanksgiving, Christmas and everyday life is a real blessing. Many times I've thanked God for you and yours! My mother's side of the family was from Appalachia and brought many of the same ways to Louisiana. Thank you for your honest, loving and faith-filled influence, Tipper!

Oh Tipper I couldn't imagine who would deserve this more. Thank YOU for bringing warm sunshine to all of us.

Tipper: Your blessings were our blessings too! Last month I met my favorite cousin and my sister in Myrtle Beach for a week. We try to get together for a week each year. I've told them about you for the last two years. I introduced them to your videos this year. They teased me and told me I talk about you as if you were my friend. I told them you are my friend! We have a whole community of friends!!! Thank you for what you do!!! ❤🎉

Tipper, you and your family are such warm and beautiful people. You make everyone feel welcome. It's such a joy when you share your life with us, whether you're cooking a meal, sharing music, taking a walk, working in the garden, or just sitting around and talking with one another. You read to us, share your holidays with us, and make us feel like we're part of your family. You, Matt, Corie and Austin, Katie, Granny, Miss Cindy, Paul, and the little ones on the way. Even Olive and Binx. You're all loved and blessed, and we are richer for knowing all of you.Thank you so much.

I am 57, born and raised in Southern California. But...I grew up eating what you eat and saying the words you say. I've learned that my people came from England and settled in very northern Alabama. I had a "Mamaw" when everyone else had a grandma. I ate black eyed peas on New Year's Day. I thought collards smelled terrible but loved them with Picapeppa sauce. Thank you for helping connect me to my ancestry. I have sent a small donation so you will buy the ingredients to make another Pumpkin Roll for your family 😍. You bring me joy and inspiration daily Sheila.

I have said it before, but I want to say it again. Tipper you & your sweet family are such a joy. Tipper ~thank you for making our Appalachia SHINE! ✨ 🙂 🙋 ❤ God bless you and family always.

Congratulations Tipper and family on 16 years. Tipper I am a retired 74 year old and because of some unexpected back pain I do not get out much. One of the blessings from that is that I found your channel and found so many familiar memories of my family. My grandparents my parents and the love of family and cooking and gardening. That is exactly how I grew up. I have lived in the Sandhills of North Carolina all my life and have always been a country girl. My grandparents killed hogs, milked cows, had a huge garden every year and always loved their church. I sometimes feel sad that so many things have changed and my grandchildren will not have those precious memories. But for me I will never forget and you and your beautiful family remind me all the time that there is good in this country. Thank you so much for your hard work and please keep up the good work. I feel like I am part of your family and that is why I watch you wonderful videos. Sending all my love and respect to you and your family.

Congratulations Tipper God planted you were he wanted you to be!! 💙💙💙

Mom and I watched your videos together. We lost her on Feb. 10. Watching you today brings me such good memories with Mom. She used to say”Let’s watch your Appalachian videos.” She really enjoyed gardening and she likes those the most. Thank you for that. ❤

❤❤❤ You’re a pleasure to watch 🥰🥰 Thank you for being here

Oh sweet Tipper don’t cry we all love you and your family I’m so glad I found you🙏🏻🙏🏻💝

May our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ continue to bless this wonderful family amen! Beautiful blessings for sure yall are to watch.❤

Miss Tipper, you are a gift. I sit and listen to you and it's like you and I are having a conversation. I appreciate that you always look directly into the camera, it really makes a connection with the viewer. Your lovely channel is such a wonderful place, I watch all your videos no matter what they're about! Bless you all, and I can't wait to see those grandbabies!

I’m 71 now & watching your channel & Corie & Katie’s channel takes me back to life like it was when I was growing up❤ Thank you & continued blessings!

Thank you for sharing your life with us. One of my pet peeves is how Hollywood invariably gives the uneducated, backward character a southern Appalachian accent. If they only knew how intelligent and hard working the people of Appalachia really are. I’m glad we have someone who is working to dispel that stereotype as well as show the joys of Appalachian life, which are many.

I think one of the reasons God has so richly blessed you through KZfaq is because you and your family bless us.

You are so blessed. And now we are too. Win Win. God is so GREAT and FAITHFUL. Congrats on 16 years of blogging. WOW

Ive been watching you and your family for awhile now and feel privileged to finally know your internet history. You make me wish we were neighbors. I love your sensitivity and realness. You and the girls make me realize that the world can be good. So glad I saw Granny's birthday. You are truly BLESSED. God Bless you all.

The Pressley family has been a blessing to many. I pray all the blessings back on y’all.

I'm very thankful you do what you do. Sometimes, when I'm having a restless night, i play your videos all night. Your voice, accent and tone,is very soothing for me.❤

Tipper, I really am glad you stuck with your dream all those years and were blessed with the success of your channel! Your wholesome Appalachian family, fellowship, and normalcy are what this country so badly needs right now, and I thank God for bringing you into all of our lives. Yes, God is good, and he approves of Celebrating Appalachia! 😊

Such blessings could not have happened to a nicer family! I am truly so happy for all of you. Your videos have made my life more joyful.

You and your family are a gift to all of us and to KZfaq where it is difficult to find wholesome content at times! You all make us feel like a second family and it's just so special ♥️

You did your YT journey just right. There are so many who rush, rush, rush and then start making a little money and quit their jobs only to find their channels fail to grow, become demonitized and they have no income because they were counting on YT to make them a living. I've seen many completely devastated YTubers crying because they couldn't maintain the quality of content needed to bring in the subs or have banked on subjects that are too controversial. Then they blame YT for that failure. Most of them had borrowed on their expectations and were bankrupted. I'm very happy that you and Matt and the girls (and Austin) are able to have a comfortable life by sharing it with others. You are a joy.

We're all happy to be a part of your family and glad you're making this content for us. I still get tickled about the video that you had a net worth of 2.5 million and you were like "I wish!" 😆

This is so amazing- you are truly a genuine person! God has a wonderful way of showing us He is in charge and has a plan for our life if we will only trust Him and step out in faith! We all are so blessed that you took that leap of faith and share your life here! Thank you!!!

Thank you Tipper…..❤️🌿🌷🌾

I'm glad it all worked out me and Pam love what y'all do I love the garden time and popsicles.

Congratulations on 16 years! You are so humble and such a wonderful example of a fine Christian. Your channel as well as the girls channel has helped me through some tough/rough patches. I thank God for leading me to your channel. It's so comforting to watch you and your family cooking, gardening, hiking playing music or just visiting, I feel like I'm there too. This old world is crazy right now, but you are such a blessing. Thank you! I pray for all of you and especially right now for Katie and her little bit for a safe and easy delivery.

I'm from Australia and have had an interest in Appalachian landscape and culture for a while and finding this channel was one of the best things I've done. I fr watch your videos everyday, even the ones I've already seen and they always make me feel comfortable and make it even more desirable for me to want to visit and live there one day. I'll be watching this channel forever, thank you so much Tipper and your beautiful family for everything!!

Congratulations to you and Thanks. We have been the benefactors of your style of KZfaq visits. " Again Thanks "

Hi Tipper, I am so Grateful for your Celebrating Appalchia channel and the wonderful accomplishments of the Blind Pig and getting the Appie Award for the blog. I consider You and The Family as My own Family and Pray for All of You! God has indeed been a Blessing for You in so many ways and I Pray that God will continue to Bless You and your Family in All You do.😊❤🎉🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

So blessed the day we found your channel❤. Keep up the amazing work you do, making all of us feel like we are part of your sweet family.

What a blessing you and your family are to so many of us. The pride of your heritage and sharing your techniques on living a simple life. It’s about finding joy in your blessings and working hard to help your family grow. Life is hard but God always shows us a way if we are listening. Thank you Tipper and Matt😊❤

God is so good all the time! And All the time God is so so Good! What a Blessing!🙏💞🙏💞

Congrats Tipper on 16🙏🏻🙏🏻💝

Congratulations Tipper and Matt! I love hearing about your journey, and God's hand is definitely on you and your dear family. May He continue to richly bless you all. ❤

❤Yall are definitely family! Congrats on 16 years! That is truly amazing!

I enjoy being a part of your virtual family. Your faith is encouraging it also helps to build me up

We love you Tipper and Matt .can't wait for the babies to arrive.

I watch a lot of utube since we got rid of our tv. I watch a lot of the political to find out what’s going on in the world, I watch a lot of Bible and end times prophecy videos etc. there’s a lot of negative stuff out there. I always come back to your channel to calm me and settle me down. I adore your family, youve helped me put in my first garden and much was a success, I plant a lot of the same stuff you do so I could watch you and Matt and learn. I also watch your girls. Such sweet young women and Godly women. Such wholesome uplifting content. Thank you all for what you’ve done to help all of us. Also you and Matt are an example of how a couple of married people are supposed to enjoy each other. I get so tickled at Matt and I can see that he adores you. What most wouldn’t give for that. It ought to be a requirement for young people to watch you and see what a wonderful marriage looks like. Lots of hard work and popsicles. 🤣

Bless you Tipper, you are a blessing to so many. Keep listening to Gods plan for you and your family.

Celebrating Appalachia and the Pressley Girls are two of my favorites! Thank you for sharing! Blessings to you and your family!

I am so blessed for having found you on KZfaq. I pray God continues to bless you and your family.

So glad that sharing your way of life along with your heritage has enhanced your quality of life in every way. Everyone benefits including me❤

Every one of you all are just a breath of fresh air. Sending so much love from Johnson City, Tennessee

Your vlog has to be one of the most wholesome and genuine on the whole of youtube. Very well done, Tipper - you are a wonderful storyteller (I'm a regular watcher from New Zealand)

Congratulations! Im so glad you found your new passions so you could give the rest of us so much joy and love and wisdom! Here's to 16 more! Thank you! 💞

I'm so happy this worked out for y'all. I consider y'all family.

I can't believe that I've been watching you for four years! I found you at the beginning of the pandemic while I lived in Tennessee. You all feel like family to me. I'm so happy that this format has been good to you.

I live in the Tennessee Valley and like you I love my Valley wouldn’t want to be anywhere else. I always say I was raised here in the Valley but grew up in Wisconsin when my family moved there for my dad’s work. I stayed for 31 years but when my husband got killed I came home. I always say there is no green like the green of here in Tennessee.

Happy Birthday to the Blind Pig! That still small voice is sometimes easy to miss if we aren't paying close attention. So very glad you were paying attention, for your benefit and ours too. :)

Im a Nashville city girl now, but watching and listening to you, and learning from you, reminds me of life with my grandparents in southeastern Arkansas--cooking, gardening, making do, and so much more. Even some of your cookware reminds me of back then!

Miss Tipper, you are a wonderful speaker. It takes a true talent to hold people's attention. Thank you for sharing your family and your life as a hill women. Love from Ohio. ♡

Congratulations on 16 years of blogging. Love both your channels and the girls as well.❤

Congratulations on 16 years and thank you for sharing your life and family with us❣

Congratulations on 16 years of a Blind Pig and the Acorn. It's a wonderful blog and I have enjoyed reading the stories. The blog and your family's KZfaq channels are a rich legacy to be cherished and enjoyed by generations of your family to come and also by us the viewers. Thank you for sharing your life. May your life continue to be blessed. Cheers!

Thank you for being such a kind blessing. God love yun's all! 💜🙏✌ 😎🎼🌻🦋

16 years, a lot of content. But these wonderful hills and mountains we live in will continue to supply great content for your channel. God Bless!!!

I have lived my entire life in the foothills of the Appalachian Mts. here in the eastern panhandle of WV. Although I have always been a proud WV Mountaineer, you make me even more proud of my mountain roots. I came to your channel through a recipe search, and I was hooked. So happy for your blessings!

Thank you for the story of your KZfaq beginnings. Much love to your entire family from the Cumberland mountains in northeast Tennessee 🫶

Congratulations Tipper!🎉 Praying and Blessed! 🤗🙏💕

So thankful that the Lord led me to your channel and that of your sweet girls. After losing my mom a few years ago these channels have been therapeutic for me. With my family coming from NC I feel like I'm reconnecting with my roots. Thank you to you and your beautiful family. ❤

I have enjoyed every minute of all of you!!! Matt has done an amazing job on those garden beds!!!! Thank you for drawing us all in to your lives!!! You make it easy to watch you and enjoy your life style!!! God is so good! Love your family!!!!!

Such a dear, dear family and can't wait to see how much joy those grandbabies are going to bring❤ Love you all and prayers for easy baby deliveries!!!❤

Glad you stepped out on Faith and minded the Lord on getting on KZfaq. My husband pastors here in Easley, SC. After 20 years of him working for a company,, he took a teaching job at our high school career center. It was tough at first but we knew God would take care of us for obeying him. We have never went without and God has opened doors beyond belief.We are thankful for your faithfulness to the Lord and for having the opportunity to getting to find y’all on KZfaq. We met you and Corie at the book signing and enjoyed our time talking to y’all. God bless you and your family.

God is good to those who love him and you do have a heart for our Lord. You are a blessing to us all!

Tipper, I’m so glad you listened to the Lord. You and your family has been a blessing to me. I have learned so much. Congratulations on 16 yrs! ❤️😊Regina

Congratulations! On 16 years!♥️

Thank you for your inspiration, Family First. ❤

Superb video Tipper. Thankyou. Since my wonderful husband passed away, my iPad and KZfaq mean so much. My life was so similar to yours but now I can visit anywhere in my armchair! Lots of love to you all with wonderful times ahead. 🇬🇧🥰

I feel like we're the ones blessed to be able to have your family share your lives with us. I too love Appalachia and I love your family and everything you all share . Thank y'all ❤

Thank you and your family for being yourselves… May God continue to bless you!

Couldn’t imagine KZfaq without your Celebrating Appalachia channel. You deserve the success you are now enjoying because of all the hard work you’ve put into it. We feel like part of y’all’s family for sure as we have met y’all in person multiple times and know that you and your family are GENUINE people on camera and in person. Not many folks on here can say they’ve put their feet under your table and enjoyed some of your fine southern cooking like Robbie Lynn & I have!!!! Thanks for sharing this video and for what y’all do to make KZfaq a happy place for so many people!! Praying for you all. 🙌🏻🙏🏻😇❤️

Tipper you deserve all the Blessings that you have received. Isn’t it just so wonderful when you realize that God was right by your side all through the years ❤ I so enjoy your channel and seeing your girls and Matt and I do so love your sweet precious mama would love to see more of her and I love it when Paul sits with her to sing a song. Keep on Keeping on Tipper love you all ♥️ God’s Blessings 🙏🙏

We found your blog right after we bought our vacation cabin in 2008. We were so happy to find you I remember finding the first event in Young Harris we saw the Blind Pig and the Acorn, the girl were clogging and the music was amazing. Pap was there and we loved the group. The next event was in Blairsville on the square. I really miss these events. But, most of all we enjoyed finding out about the area we planned to eventually be our home. I love it here

No questions, just respect and appreciation for what You do, thanx Tipper, God bless You Lady.😃

Your genuine goodness shines through on all of your videos. Thank you for sharing your family, your recipes and your love of Appalachia with all of us. 🎉❤

You're blessed! What a mighty God we serve, he cares for His children. Congratulations on your success!

God bless you and your family Tipper. I am blessed to be able to connect with you and your family.

Tipper, you and your sweet family has been such a joy to me thank you so much!!!

Very heartfelt, we are all very proud of what you have accomplished. God bless you and yours.

I found you in 2022 and I loved you from the first video. I remember finishing it and going back to binge watch every video you had posted. My husband and I look forward to your videos. Y’all remind us so much of ourselves. From you, we went right over to the girls channels and we love them too.

I’ve been watching for a few years now and i enjoy you guys so much. I live just outside NYC In the suburbs. I am a chef to wealthy people and my husband is in law enforcement in an urban area. I just love your content, your food, your garden, your family, it’s all good. I feel relaxed and happy when I watch your videos, so thank you and carry on 🎉

I love watching you because you are so real. You didn't change and let money go to your head, always stay you!

I loved you sharing this!! So thankful I have found you & your family!! ♥️🙏🏻

Tipper, you and your family are such a blessing to so so many of us, and I thank you. I have a hard time putting how I really feel into words, so forgive me. Just know, y'all have gotten me through some rough days. Thank you and God Bless all of you.

What an amazing life, you are blessed ❤

Love you channel I have found your channel by accident and been there ever since. Love your family. God Bless

You, my dear GF, have most definitely worked hard for what you have and truly deserve every good thing coming your way. You stay grounded and are so humble. Wish more women were like you. I would be proud to have a friend like you. BTW…I really like your laugh when you get tickled about something. 😊 Just saying. Please tell Katie to go on to the hospital already…I can’t wait to see the baby!!! Hugs! ✌️🙋🏻‍♀️❤️

Watching this video again. Tipper you and your family have blessed so many people…I love every bit that you chose to share.

When I first discovered your channel I said I’ve got to meet this lady…she seems so real..I met you and loved your family ever since! God is faithful.

What a beautiful testimony of Gods goodness and the blessings in your life!

I enjoy your music & all the history of the area. My grandpa grew up in TN. & Kentucky. My grandpa lived until he was 110. He was Scotch Irish. He was born in 1851. He told us that they traveled by covered wagon. I'm just so happy that I found you on KZfaq. I enjoy watching your family. I enjoyed watching granny's Birthday, Kaity's baby shower too. I pray granny's is doing ok. I'm eager to see Kaity's baby boy when he arrives. Thank you for such a wonderful Christian blog. God Bless You All.🌷🌿🌻🙂

never be ashamed of where you live your family is a great family also the people from Appalachia are the real people of this country a lot of people could learn from y’all

Tipper, you guys are a joy to listen to and an absolute treasure to we who listen to you. It's like I'm turning in to listen to old friends when I do. I just love the whole family, and I wish you all Gods continued blessing. ❤❤❤. God bless all here.
