You do a wonderful job of explaining and demonstrating how you keep your food stores topped off. Every Sunday we love watching your video because it’s such an inspiration to keep the house in order!

    Good afternoon, Mrs. Robin! We had our fair share of ice storms in Arkansas this past week as well! We thank GOD for HIS protection through it all, too. I look forward to your videos on Sundays and am attempting to watch them all. (I've been a fan since the beginning of the pandemic.) Your presence is a peaceful comfort and I often put your channel on auto play as I clean. It's as if I have a dear friend over to visit, LOL! I APPRECIATE all of the wisdom you share. THANK YOU for allowing us into your family's home and lives!!! GOD bless and keep you all...

    Here in our part of Oregon, we had an ice storm, too, during that same time you did. We lost power for 8 days, and some people here were out for 2 weeks. It sure was a good test to see how prepared I was but also how I was lacking. We have a well, so there is no running water when we have no power. I collect rain water, and that sure helped. I really enjoy your videos. Thank you for making and sharing them.

    Hi Robin - thank you so much for showing us what went on up in your neck of the woods. We were not affected by ice here in South Texas. Melissa had the same type scenario that you had up in Dallas. My house is all electric like yours and I had issues in that last storm. I’ve burned tons of firewood in my fireplace but it didn’t make it any warmer. Finally I went and stayed with my daughter Rebecca Who still had power. You did such a good job and preparing for this type of urgency. Last time people made fun of us here in the south about the freeze we had. They don’t understand that we just don’t have the infrastructure to withstand that kind of weather. I love seeing all how you prepared food and your Prepper pantry stuff. I no longer have to think about that much. Rebecca usually prepares for me to be with her. She always buys extra water and extra food for me too. Such thoughtful daughter. Melissa‘s husband is a news man that works for a network news channel. Every emergency that has ever come about she has been alone because he has had to be out covering the news. However he retired last week and so she had somebody with her this week. Thanks again for this great video. I always watch your videos multiple times because sometimes it seems like I miss something. you don’t realize how much company you give me. Love in Christ

      @FaithandFlour  Před rokem

      Thank you so much Donna! I’m really glad you were able to avoid this storm. It was crazy, but thankfully we had 70’s today and made a ton of progress with the cleanup! You are blessed to have daughters that look out for you and I love that I can now picture you all! I saw an email from you and apologize for being slow to respond. I’m a little behind following all the excitement, but hope to get caught up this week. Have a blessed week sweet friend! 💙❄️💙

    Hi Robin, I’m happy to hear you are all safe. I’m sorry your beautiful trees suffered damage. Here, in the middle Atlantic states we get that black ice, which is so dangerous. However, except for those few cold days, we are not experiencing a bad winter, but we still have a good way to go yet. See you next week.

    Hi Robin, I´m so glad, that you are OK!!!🙏 In our mountains (Krkonoše = Giant Mountains; Czech Republic), there have been three tragic accidents due to falling trees since autumn 2022. In two accidents, a huge broken tree fell directly on a passing car and all the people in the cars died. During the last one, a tree fell on a person while walking😭... God bless you all!😊

    Thankfully, those of us who live south of I-10 were spared this time. Stories of cracking tree limbs and lack of power and heat for days brought back memories of the ice storm that hit our area in 1997. In our area between hurricanes and ice storms the trees have taken a beating over the years. Luckily they grow back. Glad you and your family ok and are moving on.

    My cousin lives in Round Rock Texas so she has explained about these events. She even said at times a small trickle of water in faucets kept pipes from freezing. Is that the case by you?

    I thought about you this week and was hoping for the best. So sorry to see the damage to the tress. Happy that your power wasn’t too big of an issue. I completely understand the storm anxiety. I’m terrified of winter storms because of 2021 here in Katy. I had two burst pipes and it was a nightmare. Two solid years of getting the house properly repaired. Thankful you were spared from anything worse. God Bless.

    I love your idea of making the tea, with the fondue set! That was genius! I think I am going to order a fondue set just for this reason. We often have these types of storms up here in the north, and I think this is such a great idea!!
    I hope everything is getting back to normal for you and your family now, and you are fully out of the woods! It looked like at least someone fuzzy had a good time playing in the icy grass! ☺️ lol ! God bless Robin….and many blessings for the new week! ~ Audrey ♥️☺️

    I'm so glad you are all okay. Seeing the damage to your trees is heartbreaking. The last 3 winter storms predicted for our central Illinois area passed us by so we've been blessed with a very mild winter so far. Today it was 55 degrees. One thing we have in this home plus the two prior homes we've lived in is a whole house generator. It runs off of our natural gas line. While they aren't cheap, when factoring the cost into the whole cost of building a new house they aren't really that bad. And some years ago it came in handy when we had an ice storm and later a tornado that caused power outages for nearly a week each time. We don't regret that purchase even for an instant. Take care.

      Thank you Kathy! That would be a great thing. We have a portable generator, but your system would be much better! ❄️💙❄️

    Robin, I am so sorry you had bad weather, thank you for you prepper video it really made me think about what would happen to my family if we had bad weather, i glad you have power again, stay warm!

    I am glad you guys are doing well and the damage was not as been as it could had been. Preparedness is a most at all times as we do not know what can happen with this type of weather. I lived in Florida for many years and the thought of having to be prepared at a very short time notice, due to the hurricane season was very stressful. For the past 18 years I have been living in NC and the same thing applies with the ice storm. Keep warm and I hope you have a wonderful rest of the week.

    • @FaithandFlour
      @FaithandFlour  Před rokem

      Thank you! We remember the hurricanes and ice storms from the East coast well! I pray that you all have a mild season for both this year! 🙏 God bless! 💙❄️💙

    So happy that you are all OK! As harsh and scary that it is, the scenery truly is beautiful! I watched your video after that last storm a few years ago & I also started a 'prepper pantry' as a result of what you went through! We rely so heavily on gas and electricity, don't we?! I have a double gas camping stove but need more butane cylinders for it. Thank you for sharing your experience which has helped me (& I'm sure, many others) think through some potential future scenarios that might occur & require some form of 'preparing' wherever we may live. Also, I never considered using the fondue set to boil the kettle!! Great idea! Fortunately, I have bought a camp kettle that I can put directly over a flame (unlike my usual electric kettle!)

    Wow, Robin! That was quite a storm. I'm so glad that you did ok throughout the storm. Sad to have that tree damage but hopefully nothing was permanently damaged. I'm sure that it feels good to be on the other side of it. And found all your thoughts about the prepper pantry very helpful. I'm having our pantry redone so I will have to move everything out of it and I look forward to reorganizing and taking stock.

    So glad you did so well during the storm. It’s sad to see all the broken branches but at least no major damage to your home. Strange weather…we had -40 degree (wind chill feel) temps here in New England this weekend. Luckily we didn’t lose power. God bless you and your family and this channel! ❤

    Oh my, so much ice. It's good to know that you and your family, along with others in your neighborhood are doing well. How can something so beautiful be so be so so dangerous for us. I was glad to see the sunshine and hear the power saw doing its job. Stay safe.

    Robin, you were in my thoughts and prayers this week! It's just crazy that Texas is having this kind of weather so often now. I'm so sorry to see the damage to your beautiful trees but glad you are all OK. Weather in NC has just been so wet and gloomy so far this year and I've been a little cranky about it at times. Well, no more of that - I'm counting my blessings from here on out 😊We had a 2 hour power outage last Tuesday (due to some upgrades on our nearby power lines) so we used the chance to test out a little tealight "stove" that we made back in the fall. (I got the idea from Mary/Mary's Nest) It worked great!! We were able to boil water and toast bread over 6 tealights! Thank you for sharing all of your ideas. I learn so much from you! Regarding the HVAC unit - we had the same problem with ours at our mountain cabin so my husband built a lean-to over it. Have a great (hopefully warmer) week! ❤

    • @FaithandFlour

      Thank you Kris! Patrick had the same idea to build a lean to… maybe a future project. 👍😄 Hope you see more sun soon! 💙❄️😎

    Such a helpful video, a lesson for all of us in preparedness. This is deja vu from a couple years ago when you had the ice storm and major failure of the state’s power grid in February 2021. So glad you were prepared and the state was better prepared. Thank you Robin!

    I’m in the Tyler area and some friends had trees uprooted from the ground from the weight of the ice. We never lost power at our home, but we did have our generator ready if needed! Glad you guys didn’t have more damage. Blessings to you and your family.

      Hi Drenda! So glad you all stayed safe. We had neighbors with uprooted trees too. Hopefully that’s it for this winter! 🙏💙❄️💙
