I love your channel because you are so honest and transparent to your followers. You do an awesome job!!! Thank you for being you Lauren! You deserve all the wonderful things God has in store for you and your family.
Love you so so much I am 82 year old I Live in. B . C . Canada
I do love ur channel
Watching your vlogs is calming for me and reminds me of what God intended family and community to be. You and your family are wonderful. I also really get tickled when Mark acts silly or makes a joke. Love you all and wish you all our Father's blessings.
One of my favorite things about you and your videos is that you talk about your Christianity. Many youtubers wont in fear of losing veiwers. You are an inspiration to many. You deserve the world
I think people just need to be happy for you. Because you do work hard and you truly deserve it. Its not even anything that's crazy or way out there. Its just everyday items that people need to have in their lives. Its a fridge that works to put the food in for your family, a stove to cook their food. A washer to clean their clothes. So it isn't even really as much for you as it for your family
Congratulations. You have worked hard and deserve your purchases. Sweet baby son and his loose teeth is just priceless. What a cutie. 🎉❤
YOU ❤️ ARE LOVED AND APPRECIATED!!! Thank you for sharing your beautiful family and life ❤️ with us but most of all thank you for bringing some light! Sharing the LOVE ❤️ OF GOD is a blessing! Thank you and Godspeed!!!
I am newish to your channel and I have to say I thoroughly enjoy watching your videos. I normally don't comment however today I felt led to comment. You can never go wrong with listening to The Lord when He leads us to share what HE puts on our hearts to share. Thank you for heeding His word to you and sharing what you did today. Someone will be blessed by it. I know it touched my heart about my listening better when He prompts me to share something He has laid upon my heart. I am so excited that you were able to get all your appliances. Having a CZcams channel and creating content is no joke and is a full-time job in itself and you deserve to have an income from working as hard as you do. On top of all the youtube content you create you are obviously a great full-time mom as well!!! God Bless You and your family.
The reason I continue to watch your channel is that you are genuine in everything you do and show us in your videos. "you wear your heart on your sleeve" and the care and love you put into absolutely everything you do is amazing.
There aren't enough good words to express the amount of admiration I have for you and your family! I am so glad that you can finally feel benefits of your work❤
Lauren your family has brought me a lot of joy in some dark times. I love your family. The boys are all so kind and loving and you and Mark are wonderful parents. Have a great Christmas and looking forward to the new year with you
Lauren you definitely are a light in the darkness. Thank you for sharing your precious family and all the time you put into your content. Keep being you it is the best gift you can give. Enjoy your new appliances, you have certainly earned them.
Thank you Hamm family, for the light you have brought to us. Your genuine love for God, family, and community are truly inspirational . I just recently found your channel while I was planning my third Alaskan cruise and I haven’t stopped watching. It’s the first thing I turn on when I come home from work and the last thing I’m watching before I go to bed. Thank you and God Bless.
I love watching your channel - you have enriched my life more than you will ever know! You deserve the world Lauren, you have the most loving heart💗
Lauren- you are so honest, passionate and caring about your love for God, your family, friends and me (one of your followers) Your words are so comforting & encouraging and theres also humor and laughs! God Bless!🥰🥰
Oh Lauren, that’s why we watch; for your pure, humble and grateful heart. Merry Christmas.
Thanks for sharing. As a new subscriber, I was touched how you didn’t hold anything back and was honest about your decision to get those appliances as a reward for what you accomplished so everyone could benefit. You weren’t just thinking of yourself. There is a point where you just have to replace things. Cars are a big thing. Keep repairing or replace? You touch a lot people, especially me tonight. Take care.
I’m glad you bought yourself something because you put all the work in. Enjoy because we will by your vlogs.
Hello. I recently found your channel and I absolutely love it! I’m a nurse and at work I run 8 to 10 hours a day taking care of my patients. But on December 29 I was involved in a horrible car accident I was going to work at 7 AM. Amen failed to yield. He totaled my car and almost totaled me after two surgeries both about five hours long and days in the hospital I’m home and I’ve been watching a channel binge watching actually. When I saw this video it actually made me cry. Everyone that saw the accident or pictures of the accident and has told me there’s no way I should’ve walked out of that car with just a broken arm. God was definitely my copilot that day. Anyway, I just wanted to say thank you for your channel it has certainly made me smile. Please give hugs to your family and thank them for allowing us into your life.
Lauren, you are such a beautiful loving person, you deserve the best in life. Your commitment to your family, Inspector Luna and the Sample King brings joy to my heart. Mark teaching his sons the best life skills, you all are a blessing to whoever watches your videos ❤❤ xx
I love when you said,,,it looks like a reverse Costco haul😂😂😂
I don’t know about anyone else but I LOVE that 2 tone fridge!! Beautiful!
Lauren you are a kind, caring and wonderful lady and you have a beautiful family, we thank you for sharing yourself and the family and alaska with us. You are not just a person on CZcams you are our family and we cherish every video. Thank you for your hard work and you deserve all the good things ♥️♥️♥️
Congratulations on getting your new appliances! You deserve it like you said. You do so much for your family. Your boys are so awesome for helping. Everett reminds me of my youngest. He is a cutie. Love miss Luna! Hope you all had a wonderful Christmas!
Thank you so much for sharing This Alaska Life with us. I look so forward to your videos every morning when I get up I turn on my ipad and look for a new video from you. I love having my morning coffee with you and your family. I am handicapped, and need a walker or wheelchair to get around after having two strokes in the past 10 years, but I thank God everyday for just taking my balance and not my life. Your delivery woes is pretty much universal. I think sales for all major retailers is so bad that they get so excited to get items off their floor plan before the end of the year. I’m sure everything will come together and you will enjoy your new appliances for a really long time. You are definitely a warrior of God and can adjust to every happening, and that is why we love you so much, you teach us, your viewers, that if things don’t go as planned, improvise!!!!!!! One last thing, I really like your hair long and if you put a silk or rayon scarf around you neck under your hair before you put your coat on, your hair will not get knotted. Tons of love and respect for you, Mark and the boys from cold and windy Michigan ❤❤❤❤❤❤!!!!!!
I think being a SAHM is such a Thankless job not that it isn’t rewarding but it can feel like groundhogs day continuously especially when the kids are young, that being able to tap into your creativity and feel like you’ve earned something along the way can be a breath of fresh air and also very rewarding. I’m currently in my 7th year as a SAHM and I’m hoping someday when my girls are more self sufficient I’ll be able to use my creativity again!
You will love the top loading washer. I’ve heard lots of problems with the front loading. I’m actually shocked your appliances have lasted 12 years they definitely aren’t made to last anymore.
Good decision on the washer
Everyone i know ith a front loader basicly have the sam problems and now own a top loader.😊😊
I totally applaud you! You are amazing and deserve all of these beautiful things ❤ ... May this be the start of better things to come, also I pray you get to be able to gain that confidence once again and know you're not just a Mom (by the way the hardest yet most rewarding things in the world) anyway a Mom that is still able to contribute towards the beautiful family you've both created. I'm glad you feel God sent you on this journey ❤
It is because we love you. You are wonderful and we love you.
Congratulations on earning enough money to pay for all those appliances via your CZcams channel. That is indeed something to be very proud of. Hopefully the fridge doors & stove will come in sooner rather than later.
Lauren you are the most deserving person to get those appliances you have wanted!! Yoir videos are amazing and I look forward to watching you every day. You are so honest and true and when you watch your video you can feel the amount of love you put into it!! Can't wait to see more videos and watch you to continue to grow!!! Love you and the family!!
The blue doors on the fridge actually look great
Again I’m late (watching your videos from the beginning) but I had to say Woo Hoo!!! You’ve done amazing job on this channel. I absolutely love watching your families adventures and getting to be a part of it. Thank you for sharing your life with us.
I pulled out my stove and refrigerator once... I'll never do it again!! Love watching you and your family. Can't wait for each episode.
Thanks for watching!
I had a little cry with you Lauren. I'm so glad I found your channel, you are so informative about Alaska and how you live there, I also love going to Costco with you although the prices are shocking xx
Momma snuggles make everything better. 💕 I absolutely live your channel thank you for sharing your families many adventures.
You have far more patience than I would. A similar situation happened to me with Best Buy. Only the guys completely destroyed my fridge between my house & their truck. And the new fridge wasn't the right one & didn't fit the space. I MADE them go buy me another one til my correct fridge came in.
We care about you and we're happy to be whit you ! We understand what you are living , all of this can be overwhelming you support us and we support you!
You are amazing has a mom and wife in everything you do because you doing so much to please and make everybody's 😊 happy and safe ! Stay has you are it's the way we love you! Thank's for everything! ❤❤
You are an emotional person and theres notionwrong with that. I nust watched your 15th anniversary. I cried. My husband and I have been married 41 years, 24 this year in Oct.❤❤❤😊
Lauren that was a beautiful how touched and emotional u got , i love ur little family videos theres so genuine and wholesome and you can feel the love ur family has for one another and how much u love for us all , so thank you and have a blessed Christmas and new year
I worked at Lowe’s it sometimes happens that things get moved around and become lost. I wish your delivery was better than what you got.
You are one of the most honest people I know. I realize we have never met face to face, but I feel like you are a close friend. So happy for you and your new appliances! You say it's-11 there, well it's-8 here in Illinois with windchill of -25! I am so over winter!!! God Bless you and your family !
Four years ago I purchased microwave, fridge and matching stove. Lowes had a great deal where I got a $500.00 gift card which I gave to my husband who bought a much needed snow blower. It's nice to have everything new and matching. ENJOY!
Love this channel. You are a wonderful MOM and hostess in your home. I also love the topics you cover in your videos. I also like that you show your real life and activities in a place could not imagine.
Lauren Honey your channel is such a pure joy to watch. Thank You for sharing your sweet family. It is so refreshing to get away from this crazy world. I get such a smile & a laugh by watching those boys be children. It is nice to see a family who is GODLY & isn’t afraid to show that FAITH is a wonderful thing in today’s world. GOD BLESS FROM JULIE WEST CENTRAL INDIANA FARMLAND ✝️🇺🇸😊🎄🚜
Thank you Lauren we feel like family and we love that you share
I love you you're such a giving caring person to your children your husband your friends and to all your followers!
I love that you want to buy the things for your house with the money you get from U-tube. That’s great, love your family you are a beautiful family. Love to watch your channel. Great kids
It’s amazing what a thrill it is as an adult to get news appliances! 😀😀😀
I love your sweet spirit and the light you share with us! I also appreciate how you show real life kind of stuff, like what is hiding under/behind the stove. Totally made me laugh a little and also know that I'm not alone. I also appreciate your calm in the storm of life....not getting super riled over the problems with the appliances. So hard!
It has been such a joy watching your videos over the past few years! I have seen you grow as a youtuber, and I am happy to help you provide for your family. I have been a stay at home mom, and I know exactly what your talking about. You put LOVE out to Universe, and deserve much in return
Love your channel, you are so real, just like watching a friend 🤍❤ wishing you all a Merry Christmas from hot 🔥 🥵 sticky weather we are having in New Zealand 🇳🇿 would love to have a cold 🥶 Christmas 🎄
I just love being able to watch your channel- it just makes me feel a part of a family! 🥰Wow the views outside!
Congrats on all your hard work paying off investing into your channel, you truly are an inspiration! And that water pitcher that fills itself sounds AMAZING!
YOU are doing a phenomenal job with the videos on so many levels‼️👍😊❤️ All the beautiful ways you share your family and your adventures with us is totally wonderful‼️ ❤️I am soooo sorry about all the hiccups with all your new items‼️
Lowes did the same thing to my daughter this month. Claimed she took the fridge home with her when they drive a 4 door Nissan. Then claimed the stove was already delivered. The manager was less than cooperative and they’re still waiting on the fridge.
I also noticed having the “sample king” in your Costco videos gives you more views also! We love watching the kids fishing also
Wish I could always have him but with school it makes it tricky! We sure love him when he can come along!
How great to get new appliances when they have been faulty. It’s great that you had time to clean under them. Usually it is out with the old and in with the new within minutes. Your channel is real life. The god and the bad. It’s realistic. Merry Christmas.
Totally cracking up at Everett with his Hot Chocolate!!!! I love your boys !
Bless you, remember all things done with the love of Christ in the intent will be rewarding for not only the receiver but you as the giver and it shows God's love.
Congratulations and well deserved on the new appliances. I have experienced the “hick-ups” as you called them. When we replaced our washer and dryer last year, my washer and another customer’s washer were switched and it took more than a day to fix that; and then they discovered they left the cords and drain pipe at the store. I volunteered to run up there to pick them up and bring them back, knowing I was the most motivated to get the installation complete!
Love the fridge. My friend has one, she loves that extra drawer. Lauren when I was a stay at home mum, by choice, I too wanted to be able have my own money that I earned. I became a family day care mum. I looked after 4 children plus my own. It was hectic but found I really loved it and it provided me with a small income, my contribution to the family finances. Learnt to sew and cut hair. Organised a group market purchase for fruit,, vegetables and meat. It helped then and maybe prepared me for when I later became single. I think your doing a great job, never under estimate your contributions to your family. I’m glad you were able to open up. I hope it made you feel lighter. Sending sun of our Aussie sun and a pray☀️🙏
It's amazing what you find under appliances & furniture!! I remember when my kids were younger I was pulling out the couch to vacuum and found Orange Flintstone vitamins (no one liked that flavor) pens, cat toys, all kind of things. My kids used to say that the cat MJ was the one playing with the vitamins and pushing them under the couch!! SO many memories, my kids are in their 30's so I enjoy your boys because it makes me treasure all my memories of my son & daughter!! And of Course can't forget Miss Luna- she reminds me of our old cat MJ and our cat we have now- Miss Lady Godiva! just love all of this. I know I tend to make a lot of replies on your vlogs, it's just that you bring so much joy.🥰
Merry Christmas to you and your wonderful family. Your videos have touched my heart so many times and for that, I am most grateful!
I’m glad you are getting the things you need for the family. You do work hard on this channel. Wishing you, and the family also Luna a Merry Christmas!
I am from the United Kingdom and I find your channel very interesting and informative. I hope that one day I get to see beautiful Alaska.
Merry Christmas to your beautiful family
I love your channel. I’ve been to Anchorage 3 times in the summer time and it is sooooo beautiful in that area and I love the videos of the winter you share. I can only imagine she difficulty it is with the amount of darky you get there. I love how your family utilizes the sunlight and share those laughs of those boys of yours. Makes me smile and laugh with them. Thank you again for sharing your videos.
You are a beautiful person I absolutely love your videos...I watch them all the time especially as I'm unwell so they help me through my bad days and night xxx Thank you xxx
Lauren I watch all your videos, I might not answering them all but your a flesh breath air in my life. My Christmas is sad without my mama loosing her 4 days before Christmas in 2016. Your heart ❤ is in the right place and you help me out in alot of ways. May God bless 🙏 you and congratulations on what you do best. Taken care of your needs as family and your CZcams.
Merry Christmas 🎅 🎄 ❤ to you Lauren
Lauren, you and Mark remind me of my Mom and Dad so much. My Parents like you fixed and fixed their appliances. I remember when we all pitched in and Bought my Mom her first brand new stove. She was just starting a Cake decorating business to pay for a few big trips she wanted to go on. She was so full of joy. I took a picture of her Washer and Dryer after she died 2 years ago. Her set was from the 70's Kenmore's. I said the washer and dryer outlived Mom. I bet she prayed many a day that it held up. 14 kids, she washed religiously Wednesdays and Saturdays. I am so happy you are able to stay home and take care of your Boys. It is a balance you are right to feel you are doing your share financially. But I think Lauren, when your kids age, and they call you for advice on how to make you banana bread or to tell you about a High or a low you will see how staying home is a comfort to your Boys. No matter what even when my Mom was sick, she would answer even the silliest question, Mom was always available and Dad was always there listening in. They always seem to read between the lines too. They really knew us. I know not all Family's have this plan but I think they in this Age are trying harder to be available instead of just giving. It is a balance. God always provides for a deficit. My Mom did not have a utube Community but she like you gave her time to so many. Never were we without treats at Christmas, beyond our imagination, and presents under the tree. We always had a guest at our Table who was alone and like fishes and loaves we never ran out. Lauren, my testimony to your Channel:
God is so Good, you are like a Christmas Tree Lauren, you are an example of how Light and warmth can come from a Dreary Dark Cold day. Gary and I needed a new Adventure. We could just do the same thing over and over with you. I always say " Lauren always sees the things that most people just overlook". It reminds us the littlest things are sometimes the most beautiful. Even if it is the snow on top of a tree. Your Boys, including Mark, I have seen Gary, who suffers daily, get a belly laugh. That is for me a huge Christmas Present every day you vlog. We wish you a Merry Christmas and the Happiest New Year. Just keep doing what you are doing, and always remember take a break. We are not going away. We love your Alaskan Life and thanks for letting us be a part of your Family
Merry Christmas Marcella and Gary! Stay warm through this big storm. 🤗
You are a some so cute Family and I love to watch your channel you inspire me to try new things in my life and I'm very Thankful for that
Love you all❤❤❤❤
You and your family is awesome. I just found your channel and I am grateful for it.
You are a beautiful generous people and you are entitled to your e.otion. you don't need to appalagize for that. ❤😊
Ah Lauren, I have only found you a couple of months ago and have been watching back videos and have enjoyed very much!! and this video mad me cry too! thank you for the happy tears I'm so happy that I have found you and your family!💗
I love your channel. I can’t wait for new videos to be posted. I have always wanted to see real Alaska and life there and I will probably never get there. I have loved seeing it through your eyes. I love your sweet family. Thank you.
I totally Love watching you an your family, you are such a humble loving, caring Christian woman. I pray you an your family have a blessed an amazing Christmas. Merry Christmas! From Texas. Thank you for sharing so much of ya'll s life.
Bless your heart, you didn't have delivery hiccups you had belches.. lol. I'm happy you are adjusting to your new fridge. I am positive you will love it even more once all is done.
You made me cry with when you shared your heart today ♥ I appreciate you and love your videos ❤
I just started watching your videos a few days ago and Im addicted. I love that you are so normal and pure and genuine. I aspire to have your energy and your willingness to do things. I've learned so much and I've been sharing the knowledge with my mom as well. I live in Florida (but I'm originally from Puerto Rico) (and want to move a couple of states north to here) :)
I just love watching all of your videos. So happy I found your channel a couple months ago. Thank you .
I love watching your videos with you and your family…I want you to know that Alaska was never on my mind to visit, we are from Eden,NY since watching, my family cannot wait to vacation in Alaska 😉
My 7 year old son and I love to watch your family from Scotland. 🥰 We would like to wish you all a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. Xxx
You have worked hard and deserve your purchases. Love your videos. 10x❤😊
I don't think I could handle the hiccups with the deliveries with the grace and understanding that you did. You are a special lady. I hope you get everything else very soon. How frustrating. I am so happy for you - you've worked so hard (to our benefit) and you certainly deserve new appliances. Right now I need a new washer and a new refrigerator as well. I've been going to the laundromat and having things freeze in the regular part of the refrigerator. I dread the replacement procedure. Enjoy and happy holidays.
Hi lauren I love that fridge its very beautiful the blue I know its not what you want but its so beautiful. I understand what you say about housewife I was one 12 years ago I get what you say when my husband died I had to get a work and now I have my own cleaning company. Im very proud of you. You did good with all the new stuff cant wait to see when all arrived. Your awesome
I love your channel and my all time favorite is your Costco halls and when you and your family go camping, fishing, adventures ect.
Why to go pick up my new glasses so I'm watching the rest of you and I was going to say I love watching you I live by myself so I don't feel so alone and my kitty that I've had for four and a half years I had diabetes he died in October. So it's nice watching Luna and all you guys because I don't have children my daughter was killed in horrific accident at work and she be sick so I love watching all the kids playing and all that. Luna looks a lot like Buddha
Love your life stile thank you for your videos helps me keep humble love watching. You do a great job 👍
You have a beautiful soul. Thank you for sharing you life with us...
I love your family Lauren, Mark and The Alaska Boys.
It is really cold here in the Indianapolis today. -10 and -30 wind chill. You are hearty folk!
Thanks for watching! Stay warm. 🥶
You are a Beautiful and Amazing woman Lauren and your family Mark and boys are Awesome 👌 Again Merry Christmas 🎅 take care and stay safe and warm ❤️ 👍🙏
I really love that refrigerator. I know it’s not what you want, and I sorry for that.
Wow! That ice maker!
What a wonderful video filled with real emotions and the realities that are part of living a down to earth life which you, Lauren, do soo well! Your appliances are very upscale…especially your refrigerator! Thx for being willing to be real and to share your delightful family with us out here😊. A most blessed and merry Christmas! Celebrate our Savior’s birth with your loved ones. Susan
Glad you got most of your appliances installed. Can't imagine putting up with washer/dryer problems with such a big family, I know that was a pain.
My bf's frig had problems, I went to Home Depot last year to pick out a new one for her. Due to covid-related delays, she had to wait a month for it to arrive. I got her a mini frig to get her through the month, but then I had to pick up 2 bags of ice each day and drive them to her house (a total of 20 miles each day).
I told her I thought I was more happy when the new frig finally arrived than she was!! She had had a stroke 4 years prior and no longer could drive...
Good luck with getting your stove...
The thing about a new dryer, the newer ones can spin out so much more water so they take much less time in your dryer... such a time saver.
Take care. Love your videos!
You're family deserves it. No card this year but love from Auburn Georgia ❤️
Omg you made me cry😢. Your videos are amazing and so true and honest. I love watching and seeing your family
Garage fridges are nice for holidays and beverages. Use it more than I thought
Lauren your family are Fantastic and Humble bless you all xxx love you all lots 😘
Congratulations on your new appliance's. Well deserved. And you do work very, very hard and it shows. You're video bring much happiness into my life.
Blessing 🙏🙏 to you and your family, this holiday season. ⛄⛄🎄💕💜❤️
