I take my 89 year old mama grocery shopping every other Friday and we go out to lunch too. Blessed to still have my Precious Mama❤️

Matt's personality steals the show. 😅

Watching your videos is like being part of your family. They are so comforting when I am feeling lonely.

Granny planting beans in the corn, I love her 😂😂😂

Hot dogs=yellow mustard, diced onions and sweet pickle relish, yum! Katie and her bump, cute as can be! 😍

Tipper, one of my favorite times on your channel is watching and listening to your talks with Matt. It’s so comforting and heartwarming. My family is close also but with losses the last few years, it changed life as we once knew it and makes me sad so watching your channel has brought peace and joy again. You bring in a kindred spirit, thank you.

Family is very precious, and it's not until the years take their toll on family members and they pass on, that you remember the wonderful times that were had in even the most mundane activity. All the very best wishes to your entire family.

I just love sitting with y'all and listening to you chat. Thank you all for always being so welcoming! xo

Mama always said if you had bad heart burn when you’re pregnant, that means the baby will have lots of hair.

Carolina Style Hotdogs for me- Chili, slaw, mustard and onions. My sweet Mama never drove so after I got my License , I always took her every Saturday to the grocery store. Once I had a family of my own I woud stop and pick her up. In her later years she would make a list and I would get them as I got mine. Hearing you tell this about Granny brought back such great memories! Thank you for letting my mind wonder back in time with my sweet Mama.

Katie looks beautiful! Her new hair cut looks pretty and it’s smart to cut off some of the length before the baby comes

I think a lot of older people go more frequently to the grocery store to buy a little bit at a time so the bags won't be so heavy.

Nothing wrong with your topping choices. Just make it your own. Looks and sounds delicious. 👌

I am 73,. Mom went to the grocery store on Friday once a week . 6 kids to feed . Church on Sunday and washed clothes on Monday.

Second comment because I had to comment about what you said at the end.I don’t have much family left…my parents died young,my sister lives in another country and I’m 4000m from home living in a city with my teenagers until the last one finishes high school and I can go back to Vancouver island… As a single mama my teenagers are my world…but this channel and your family Tipper feels like family to me.I live vicariously through you as I’m bed bound a lot due to having CRPS after I was run over by a van and the glimpses I get of your families traditions make me smile and feel included. My 15 year old always asks me for a recap of your videos and asks how you are all doing 😂 She is so busy with her studies and piano she doesn’t have time to watch much but I do and I update her.She’s been praying for granny and we’re both excited about your grand babies.I’m thankful for each one of you ❤❤

Having them close is precious.

We have a foot of snow ❄ and negative 12 degrees up here in Michigan 😮 B.T.W. Matt gets better lookin every day. He s so funny 🤣

Mom and would go shopping and we have lived in our home town 45 years now so we know our clerks in grocery store. Mom was using her scooter, so it was hard to locate her sometimes, so the clerks would see me looking, and she would announce, " Will Ms. TRUNK MONKEY, please come to check out. " 😂 That was my name for her 😊 God, how I miss her ❤❤❤ Memories you will always keep with you ❤❤

My mom never drove so dad did all the grocery shopping. After dad had his first stroke he couldn't drive so I would take him to the store. I was fortunate that working 12 hour shifts at the hospital and working weekends gave me days off during the week. So we would schedule time on my days off. I really miss that time with my dad. Then after he passed away I would take mom to the store until she got to where she couldn't get around. Then I got groceries for her. Now she's been gone since 2017. I really miss them both. But, now that I am old I have our groceries delivered from Walmart. Gotta love that.

Katie is glowing because she is pregnant. Such a magical time for a woman.

I had to laugh when Matt was trying to make Tipper believe he was a under boss and he said well, it looks like it over here. 😂

Since retirement, we go once a month to get groceries, we used to go every couple weeks when the kids were living at home.

Chicago style for this girl😊. Now when I was little , my mother made Glorified Hot Dog. She split them, filled them with cheese and wrapped them in bacon. Then she broiled them. So good…..

Slaw, chili, mustard and onion for me. Looks great making me hungry 🌭🌭

Tipper and Matt I needed to see y'all today.. I was having a muh day. Y'all's videos always make me feel better.

Ketchup, mustard & onion is my favorite topping. I’ve never fried a hot dog, I’ll have to try that !

Tipper, you are so right about family. Family is the most valuable gift you will ever have. I remember going to the grocery store with my Momma. It was a big deal too. I can remember riding in the front of the buggy. In fact my sister & I would argue over that position. Later I took my 3 kids & oh as they got older I really dreaded it. However, I’d give anything to have all three of them in tow again as little ones. Now they are grown, and their kids are big, in fact some of my grands are grown. Where has time gone? I have gone grocery shopping with my grands and always picked up packs of Fruit Striped gum for them. They all still talk about that gum. It really is the little things isn’t it! Well, I’m trying to stay warm. Looks like snow will be here tomorrow. Hope you get a good one! ❄️❄️❄️🥶❄️❄️❄️🙏🙏🙏🙏❤️❤️❤️

It's been down to 6F at our house in BC the past few nights. It's not normally that cold here. Alberta's been down to -49F. Stay safe and warm, everyone. ❤

So enjoy y’all’s chats! I remember extended periods of snow days in the hollers- warm morning wood and coal fires 😁 Katie looks radiant ♥️

I love how Binx wants to be involved! ❤

I was 18 when I moved from Sudbury Ont. to Ottawa Ont. In November 1970. That winter Ottawa got over 15 feet of snow. I'm a northerner and I had never seen snow like that. Before or since.

Matt's so funny

My baby brother, when about 3 years old, came in for lunch, and mom asked," What do you want for 6?" He replied, " a hot dog with peanut butter!" Mom was a little surprised. She fixed it, and he ate every bite of it. We were a little surprised. He didn't change his mind and say, oooohhh! He enjoyed it, and he never asked for it again. The only thing Mom could figure out was that he craved protein. 😊

I live near Branson Missouri. It was-4° here this morning. And it's headed your way.

Katie makes hot dogs looks so tasty, I’m craving them now! All the way from London, England

Saurkraut mustard on a Nathan's hotdog🤗 Katie, your haircut is adorable 😊

Mayonnaise, catsup,mustard, onion, cheese chili and slaw! A chili cheese slaw dog all the way! 🌭

So happy Matt is able to piddle in things in his new flexible life!!

TIPPER AND MATT HOPE YOUR DOING GREAT..GOD BLESS YOU

So glad I hung in for the explanation of Granny cancelling you. Holy cow I couldn’t believe Granny doing that. Now I know it’s about the snow. 😊

Hope you are staying warm and cozy during this frigid time of year! 😊

I also love grocery store pickup, the more time at home the better!

Just ate one myself! Mustard, ketchup, onion and baked beans....sometimes sauerkraut.... yum!

Just returned to Indiana from spending a week with our Daughter and her family in Murphy, North Carolina. It's beautiful and peaceful. I should have realized when you mentioned Cherokee county that you're in the area. Haven't had hot dogs on the wood stove in ages. Another relaxing video. Thank you❤

Mustard and chili beef hot dog! Slaw sounds good also!

I love listening to your stories, you have a wonderful family and you can see the love you have for each other, you are going to love being grandparents, there is nothing as precious as grandbabies, mine are almost all grown and now I have great grand babies and they are so very precious. God bless you all!❤️

I admit I am laughing a bit with a foot of snow on the ground, 40 mph winds coming off Lake Michigan, and 16 degrees. This is normal for January up here! I like chili, onions and cheese on my hotdogs.

Until I was 25 years old I never heard of putting anything but mustard on a hot dog... I'm from Texas/Oklahoma region. Our hot dogs usually had mustard, chili, cheese, onion and sometimes sweet relish. Ketchup was reserved for french fries and the top of meatloaf. 😊

Around here they make hotdogs “all-the-way”! Mustard, slaw, onion and chili!! I’m not old enough to eat ones like that of course, but I do like chili and onion and mayonnaise and ketchup. Hee, hee!! We are so excited to see you guys make that new “big” garden!! We go to the grocery store mostly every week or every other week. Now I take my Mom to get groceries. Have to follow her around the store and hope she can make a decision and stick with it. Praying right there with you for some snow this year in NC. I do think about you every time they say there might be snow in the mountains and wonder did Tipper get her snow!!

We had a blizzard in ohio in 1978 I was in high school. It seemed winters were full of snow and very cold in the 70s.

Same here - good slaw is favorite part of a good hotdog. -

Happy Sunday evening.

Mustard sweet relish and diced onions 😋❤

I was born and raised in North Carolina, and my favorite Hot Dog is "all the way" from Gary's BBQ in China Grove. Mustard, onions, chili, and red slaw. 😋

Way to go Matt good hotdog

Not good to procrastinate when that freezing weather is coming! 😅 I wondered when Matt would mention you being “The Boss”! 😂 it had to come up eventually.

Love this! Yummy!!! I loved slaw made with Duke's mayo, chili, ketchup on mine. Have a great week! Much love to you all! Jane in SC ❤🙏

I love slaw on my hot dog too. I was born in North Carolina, and then move to Georgia, but we always had slaw and ketchup and mustard.

It's below zero here and windchill was -23 this morning. Terribly cold. Wind has been pure misery and dangerous really. Katie is glowing, so perdy! Her hair cut really suits her! Only white potato slips we find is when we visit Kentucky. My mind goes wild over the garden too. My body has a hard time keeping up nowadays. Bless Granny! She probably remembers bad times in the snow. Bless all y'all!

Mustard and onion for me! I do like slaw and mayo, too. So many variations, to each his own:) Katie, you are just glowing! Its been 37 years since I've had a baby, but i remember those last weeks of being pregnancy. Tums were my best friend. Great video!

Katie, you look so cute with your haircut. Love watching all your videos! God bless your family!!❤️🙏🏻

My mom used to go once a week to the market or grocery store. She babysat and I had 2 sisters so 7 kids in tow to the store. Little old ladies would ask if we were all hers. I used to take my grandma after my grandpa died. he did shopping for her. I’m like you I love grocery pickup. We have martins Walmart and Aldi. I hope that all people have the memories like the ones that we have. Our families seem similar. God really does give us what we need and when we need it. His timing is not always ours. God bless .

Me also Ms.Tipper, my 85 year old Mom and I want some snow. Hopefully if we get some snow it will be during the daylight so we can watch it snow. We aren’t too far from you guys. We are in Salisbury NC so we are really wishing for snow this year.

❤ My husband does shopping once a week. It works. 😊

When I was younger, I used to shop at an IGA, which was a very small grocery store. I also loved the Amish grocery and general stores and would get my dairy needs straight from their cows. At least for me, those days are long gone, and I, too, now hate grocery shopping and try to go once a month though usually every third week.

Praying and Blessed! 🤗🙏💕

I have a feeling that this is your year for snow. I love walking in the woods right after a good snow. It's always so beautiful and brightens the winter days.

I'm the same as you....i went to the store with my mommy weekly and then I took her weekly when she was elderly. We had the best times and made lots of memories. We called it going to town to trade. I've had different people ask me what that means. I'm sure you have heard the phrase "trading" instead of shopping

Y’all are wonderful , beautiful people. Thank you for the videos. God bless you all through this new year.

I hate shopping! We’re lucky enough to have ours delivered! We order on line, and hey presto,it’s delivered!!!

It’s below 0 with wind chill 25. Hope you get some snow ⛄️🙏🏻🙏🏻💕prayers for Granny

I so enjoy watching your videos ❤❤❤

I always thought Matt was The Boss 😊✌️ A slaw dog is delicious! I like mine with Mayo and Mustard. Chili Cheese Dogs are another favorite of mine. Good Night. Blessings from Georgia 🙏

Ron & I eat mustard and onions on our hot dogs. However, we have had relish or coleslaw on them, too. We go grocery shopping 2 or 3 times a week. The grocery store is very close to our home. When I was a child growing up in southern Georgia, my Mom went grocery shopping every Saturday. That was a cute story about little Alex waiting to get his hair done, too❣️

We are suppose to get 4 degrees here on Tues also. We are suppose to get 2-4 inches of snow here starting noon Monday. I dread it.. I dread the cold but not the snow .

Katie, I really like your haircut.

When it comes to grocery shopping, alot of European countries have only very small refrigerators, and they go daily for things like fresh meat ..items that they will need for the day. Of course their "markets" are much different then ours.

We appreciate you sharing with us.

We have below zero temperature today! Be sure when the temperature drops to stay warm. We used wood for many years, but since we are in our late 70s we had a furnace put in. The wood heat can never be matched!

I enjoyed listening to you talk about going grocery shopping. I sometimes walk through the Supercenter and start crying because I miss my "shopping partners." It does help to have someone to share the icky chores with. My shopping schedule was often tied to when we got paid. So that has changed over time. The most eventful was once a month shopping and then praying we had enough money for milk, eggs, bread at the end of the month. haha!

Piccalilly is what I love on mine! I also like onions and celery salt or just grey poupon.

I used to open the door on our wood burner and get my handy stick and roast wieners over the oak or hickory wood. Mmmm mmmm mmm! Mommy and I loved ours kind of burnt. 😊😊

I'm tired of cold, but snow would be wonderful. It would make the cold worth it. ❤

I love beef hotdogs too! I put sauerkraut and ketchup on mine. If I don't have the kraut then I use a little mustard also. I think Binks is adorable, Katie. For heartburn I use an organic baking soda and it works wonders. I use about 1/16 tsp of soda in about 3 oz. of tepid water. In S. E. Wisconsin there were variable levels of snow, but my house got about 8". The trouble is that today (Sunday) thru Tuesday it will be seriously cold. Today we had only -1 with windchill of -21.

Mustard, onion and sometimes slaw...my husband says it's a 'sin' to put ketchup on a hot dog, tells that to our 16 yr old grandson everytime he sees him with one lol...tho idk why

Also, when I would be down South, I would hear this saying a lot "well bless your heart".

Miss Tipper you are so blessed to have a close family. Mine is so scattered, cold hearted and selfish. I envy you guys. God bless you all bunches!

I had my first "slaw dog" in Saltville Virginia. That was the best hot dog I had ever eaten. I used to put ketchup on them, but now I use mustard. Hot dogs with slaw on top are the best. I love your channel. ❤

I have noticed Katie being really fond of hotdogs since being pregnant.

We always had to makeup snow days at the end of the year. Never Saturday school. But then I'm a old goat.

Ha ha ha! Matt, I agree! I didn’t like school, and I was shy and hated to have read, or speak in front of the other students in class. I missed every day that I could.

I love beef hot dogs! I put mayo, chili and onions. Sometimes I put cole slaw. Love your videos.

This came at the perfect time, I’m snowed in with my baby. Heyyyy virtual family 💓

That is THE best way to cook and eat a hotdog!!!!! ❤️

Family is everything. Celebrated Daddy’s 91st birthday today.

Thank you Tipper Katie and Matt for sharing today have a blessed Sunday stay safe

I get so hungry watching y'all. 😄😊 I love to put mustard, chili without beans, slaw and sometimes I put relish. And sometimes I just put mustard, mayo & ketchup. 🤷‍♀️ Yum!

I put ketchup on mine. Sometimes I roll the dogs with a crescent rolls from pillsbury and bake in the oven.

In South Carolina, we like them with mustard, Chili, and onions, slaw is optional
