With Meatballs try a jar of chili sauce and jar of grape jelly. It makes a sweet and sour meatball and everyone i make them for loves them. Sounds gross but it's not.

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! I would love to hear how you like your new treadmill. Been looking for one and there are so many options!

I’ve used it twice and so far I love it!

One of my favorite author’s to listen to her books is Janet Evanovich - the lady that reads it is awesome with her vocals and each character has a distinctive vocal. Bonus, the books are hilarious! Happy Holidays!

You can download books from the library, for free, and listen to them through your phone.

Loved the Vlog! Yay Jacksonville! 😎

I do the same thing with straws. Also, I blow on straws, from fast food restaurants, after I take them out of the wrapper. 😆

Your public library should have audiobooks you can check out, too! Happy New Year!

❤ the long vlog! ❤ the deer on the dining table! That mirror Brian got u ...wonderful. Happy New Year 🍾🎉

Thank you, Taren for your long beautiful video ❣️ All the best for you and Brian und your family! Happy new year 2022🍀🍀🙋

Enjoyed the video very much. Looks like you had a fun Christmas. I did as well. After last year and seeing no family it was a joy to be with them this year, Happy New Year to you and Brian.

Love the long vlogs! Hope you had a lovely Christmas 💕

Loving the longer vlog!

Merry Christmas and Happy, healthy New Year! I love the rug that you have under your Christmas tree skirt. Very cute.

Love James Patterson 💙

I love your vlogs Taren! The longer the better! Lol! I'm so glad you and your family had a good Christmas! Happy New Year to you all!❤🎉🥂

I would keep the floors consistent if you can it just looks so much better and if you're afraid it's going to be dark lighting up the walls and other things. Happy New Year!

OK, I got such nostalgia from seeing the Polaroids! Pre-smartphone vibes! a light floor in your filming room might help bounce light around more.. maybe?! and how sweet he framed the article 😍 Happy New Year!

Love the longer vlogs! Just sitting her crocheting and watching so to me that's a good day! I am envious that it's so warm there! We got about 6" of snow last night so this morning I was shoveling the sidewalk....we live on a corner so I have to do in front and on the side. My neighbor was out doing his driveway with the snow blower so I borrowed it after and did our driveway. So much easier! Anyway, I'm glad you had a very nice Christmas! Love the treadmill that you got! I want one of those too! Hoping your sofa comes earlier than they predict! So nice to get new furniture! Can't wait to see it! Wishing you and Brian and the furbabies all the best in 2022!

To answer your question as a two person household-we have about 3 crockpots but only really use the two. 😂😂. Happy to see you had a wonderful Christmas with Brian and your family. Hey I really like the long vlogs. 😊😊

It looks like you and Brian had a wonderful Christmas! I really enjoyed this video...it's motivating to see you put things away! I still have everything up...Hopefully I can get to it next weekend! I hope you have a blessed New Year! (OH....Maybe your dark flooring in your filming room with a light colored rug? That would help with the echo...get one of those washable rugs so you can stuff it in the washing machine when needed!)

Loved the long video!!!

Dark floors make the lighter surfaces pop. I think get dark matching flooring

Great fun watching this vlog! When you did the super-speed video to get ready for Christmas Eve, all I could think about was a funny little phrase my mom used to say, “The hurrier I go, the behinder I get”. You, on the other hand made it all happen. Happy New Year!

Girl I got the same treadmill in blue, it’s awesome

Just what I needed today…a long Taren vlog! 🤗🤗 At the beginning when you pulled out the Parmesan cheese for breakfast, I was like, “huh,” but then cracked up when you realized it! 😂 And totally gonna pick up those ornament totes! Thanks for finding a great deal! Happy New Year’s!!

Taren...did you say 6 crock pots?? I only have one. 😂 I have the same crock pot we got as a wedding gift 22 years ago. I love the matching PJs y'all wore on Christmas Eve. This warm weather has been nuts. I think we're getting a cold front late Saturday afternoon. We got new living room furniture in 2020 and it took 4 months to come in and it's just a basic reclining couch and loveseat from Lazy Boy. Oh, I've been watching Emily in Paris too. It's cute. Well enough babbling... Wishing y'all a Happy New Years 🎉🥂🍾🎆

I bet Brian could make those divider’s out of foam board from Dollar Tree or cardboard from your treadmill.

The library has books on cds. I always hated spending the money on them especially if I wasn’t sure I’d like them.

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you, Brian and your family. Since you asked, I have 5 crockpots if I count the one I keep in my 5th Wheel Camper. 🤔

I big crockpot one medium

Hi! your house is fantastic!! I just wanted to tell you, in case you didn't know, the tray on the bottom of the dog crate should slide thru a slot under the crate door.. that way you can slide it out to clean it and then slide it back in without having to get down into it. ☺

First! I'm never this early and I love these longer vlogs. Happy holidays to you! Also, I own three Crock Pots - an old school one of my mother's, one like the black one you used and one of the tiny ones. Then I also own two Instant Pots that double as slow cookers... so technically five slow cookers. And there are only three of us. Guess you can't own too many!

i have a chicken salad chick here its new. Never been. I was wondering how it was and what anyone liked from there. Happy New Years Taren and Brian! My oldest daughter turned 11 yrs old yesterday. My mom was sick with covid she's over it. Me and my 4 yr old daughter are getting over it. My oldest daughter didn't get it. Me and my mom, my oldest daughter are vaccinated so we didn't get it that bad. I'm in southern indiana it was 70 here on christmas wanted to take my oldest to the park but i was sick (my youngest with her dad this past wkend).

Just my opinion, for your filming room I would stick with the dark wood floors you have in your house, and then add a light colored area rug From Ross or HomeGoods… Something inexpensive that you can easily replace when you get tired of it or it gets worn.
