Girl it takes time to adjust to the camping life. When I left my ex husband I bought a camper. First winter we had an ice storm and my door froze shut. I ran out of gas for hot water, if you only have gas for hot water they sell adapters where you can convert to either gas or electric or both. That saved me lots of money. I also locked myself out. Girl it was great in so many ways but also helped me realize I can do a lot more than I gave myself credit for. You got this.

I would like to say how nice your followers are. Tamara you have a great group of friends that support you and each other because of the sweet person you are.

The heat has also been horrible in Ohio, I feel your pain. It finally cooled down a lot yesterday and today The Egg Sandwich you made Winston, brings so many memories back of making my youngest son egg and cheese sandwiches for breakfast, he is now married Cherish these days with Winston. Your are such a good Give yourself some grace, you are adjusting to new life in the RV and it will all settle

Hi Tamara👋 I’m sorry that you’ve had so many struggles lately, you’re gonna be alright, you’re a strong woman and I support you no matter what👍👍👍 You do things that is best for you and don’t worry abt us, those of us who truly care understand what you’re going thru and support you no matter what🫶 I’m glad that you’re all ok, that’s what’s most important🙏 TYFS, take good care and stay blessed 🙏♥️💫✨👼🏻✨💫♥️PS: I have a sm freezer too so when I buy hot pockets, breakfast sammies, burritos, etc I remove them from the boxes, to make more space and I snap the instructions to keep on my phone or type it into my “notes”, it helps not having those boxes take up space👍

I call it “survival mode “. Try not to stress yourself about it. It happens… I was in survival mode a few months ago, but you’ll get through it. Now I can look back and giggle on how stressed I made myself.

I see that you are overwhelmed - crying is good - much love and prayers to lift you up during this trying time. You are stronger than you think you are.

[janetdwyer]

It take time when you move it's a lot of work.we will be here when ever you post ❤

[LifeWithMrsB]

Thanks for sharing that things aren’t all rosy and wonderful all the time. Makes me feel more normal!! 😊 hope things start getting a bit better though and you guys get into your summer groove

[stephanieperez]

Just to save more freezer space, I always take out any items that are in boxes, like waffles, hot pockets, etc. every little bit helps when space is limited 😊

[doreen]

Hang in there! You're doing the best you can! We'll be happy to see you whenever you have time. This truly is a new norrmal. It all takes time. Be kind to yourself! Hugs and prayers, Doreen in Colorado (where we are blazing hot too!!!)

Friend, I am with you 110% This summer has been filled with chaos, things breaking, stuff not working out for me to. 😭 It's really nice to be able to sit this morning outside before the rain and have a good cry watching this video. We are all in this together! Right!

[melindastookey]

We as women never give ourselves enough grace, so I say to you give yourself grace. You got this ❤and it's good to let it out ❤

The wrappers you bought I use to make chicken pot stickers out of and am going to use them to make ravioli out of them too. If you have a chicken that you have cooked and deboned, place the carcass in the crockpot and make your broth out of it, then after separating the broth from bones, pick through the vegetables and bones( whatever you use to season the broth)… use micro pieces of chicken and set aside. Then make a mixture of soy sauce, diced green onions, water, honey and ginger. Keep some for dipping and use little bit to marinate cooked chicken in for around 30 minutes. Drain chicken and place about one teaspoon in center of a wrapper, then wet edges to form the potstickers. You can either freeze them at this point for later or shallow fry in a skillet, then drain on paper towels. Then put back into skillet along with a little bit of water to cover and steam. Serve hot with reserved dipping sauce. I also save potato jackets to make potato skins. Once a month we have appetizer dinner or lunch..
Just a bunch of appetizers to make a meal: you can add spinach dip into the mix for a veg. You can even throw in some chicken wings or chicken nuggets and fries for fun. If you have chicken leftover from wings use meat from deboning to make a bbq chicken pizza next meal.

just take a breath you got this remember this is what you wanted you will get adjusted.

[mjgullickson]

The heat will wear you out! Issue with your livelihood surely takes precedent to the videos. Honestly I was feeling guilty I hadn't had time to watch, so let's ALL take a breath and do what we can when we can.
If I could add one tiny piece of advice, pick one (1) thing to change. Make easier for yourself. Whether it is always wash the dishes as you use them, or cook ahead a few things and reheat a few meals as you go. Cooked brats two days in a row won't hurt a soul. Something like that anyway. Just one thing that helps uncluttered your chaos. You do a great job, the RV looks great. Keep your chin up and we love you guys so don't fret. ❤

Glad you found Max! Brought me back to the days of our pup Nicky bolting anytime a door opened, ( he was an inherited dog from my in laws when they passed). I once had to hurdle neighbors shrubs in my slippers and it was muddy. I had him cornered went to make a move to grab collar and he took off. I landed face first in mud!!!😂😂😂. Life is meant to be an adventure, buckle up and enjoy the ride! You can handle anything . Remember it's summer time and when life throws you a mess, make yourself a nice cuppa tea kick back and sip....ahhhh!❤

[helenedoiron]

Hi Tamara, you have got to give yourself some grace. Moving is never easy in itself and when you add a completely new way of living and being away from your partner that has to work away from home that’s a recipe to be overwhelmed. You are strong and resourceful, you got this! Maybe not perfectly at first but it will get better 😊.

[deniselakatos]

Hi Tamara. Take a deep breath and give yourself grace. Yes it is a new normal but in no time it will be your normal. Whenever you get around to posting videos will be OK--we got your back! Give sweet boy Max a big hug for me--it is his new normal too! Hugs.

[mimig]

Give yourself some grace because you have a lot going on with all the adjustments you've made. It had to be very traumatic when Max ran off! Lifting you up in prayer. Whenever you post a new video I'll be here. You are doing a fantastic job!

[tennagrover]

I felt your pain when you were talking about being done with the heat. It’s hard to garden when the feels like temperature is 103 at 7am. I have a tatt on my forearm that says “this too shall pass”. Hang in there, summer will pass and fall will be here before you know it
