Ha!  Perfect.

I like your avatar, is she/he yours?

Yes, she is Lucy, a tiny little thing I rescued from a shelter about a year ago.  She's just delightful  ❤️

I remember dressing up as a bride at about 6 years of age.  Fun!

Dear Truely:  please make a better choice in a spouse than your mom did.

Why is she running around barefoot in the snow?

[Art Of Noiz]

I'm gonna be thinking about Christine while the roads are icy and I'm stuck here at home. 

My grandma always had potluck meals. Beautiful table, home cooking made from scratch. Because she worked,, she was brilliant at delegating while encouraging her daughters, gdaughters and nieces to try new recipes. The side dishes were not always standard. Grandma was a modern woman, with very old school roots. 

I've seen this in Christine. I see her teaching Truely to crochet (a dying craft). I've watched the episodes with St Lucia's day with a smile on my face. She encouraged those girls to cook. 

She can bring Tony and Mykelti in for Hispanic dishes. Her mom Annie could contribute with another generation's knowledge.

Hmm. I wonder if they will ask ME??

Too cute! She is such a sweet girl having fun even if barefoot in a little snow!

(I live in MT that wouldn't even be called a "dusting" here. And I often go out on the deck barefoot in the snow to feed the yard tigers.)

Let's just hope Christine does not have Jenelle as a "guest cook" to share some of her "recipes."

From her farm-to-table restaurant?

Since the title is "Just Christine" I don't think we will see any of the other SW's on this broadcast. Her kids absolutely but doubt any "bonus kids" (unless maybe some of Janelle's).

(I live in MT that wouldn't even be called a "dusting" here. And I often go out on the deck barefoot in the snow to feed the yard tigers.)

I have a picture of a very dirty, little me (around 3 or 4 years old) sound asleep on the neighbors' front porch steps with my dirty, little feet bare and my equally dirty, little shoes placed neatly beside me.   Never liked shoes.  Or sox.  Or slippers.  Or boots.  

Now, I'm old and nothing has changed.  I'm barefoot now as I post this. 

I live in north MN and it's minus temps here, but I wouldn't hesitate to go outside without footwear for a quick trip to the garbage can or to shake a rug or feed some little critters if necessary.  

Some people just weren't meant for shoes...or sox...or even slippers.  My toes get claustrophobic in shoes.  I hate when I can't wiggle my toes.  

I love that Truely gets to play in bare feet.   It's a wonderful thing.  🙃

 

[Gramto6]

@Claire Voyant, barefoot girl here too! Always barefoot in the house and go out on the porch often barefoot too. I can't stand closed in shoes always wear some sort of clog.  Some of us are just not meant for shoes!! 🙂

[winsomeone]

I worry that Truely isn't really getting an education with the style of life they now lead.

 

[65mickey]

I wonder why Truely isn't attending school. And what about Ysabel? Even when the show first started and they were living in Utah the kids were sent to public school. Except for Mariah who flat out refused to go to public school and was sent to a private religious school. I am still not sure when Christine moved to Utah. Was it last fall or in 2020? But surely the schools in Utah are open now.

Same here.  I envy people that can go barefoot when it's cold.  Not me.  My feet turn white (so do my hands gloveless.)  Raynaud's syndrome is a bummer.

We had a sudden cold snap and I'm glad I hadn't put my fake-fur lined boots away.

BTT:  Didn't Ysabel move in with Maddie to attend a college in NC?

Me too.  I'm sure Kootie won't even look at them.  I hope Robyn is eating her heart out with envy.  That bimbo deserves to be jealous, for once.

I think I read that Truely is home-schooled, though I don't know how that translates into everyday activities.

[ginger90]

Perhaps she did better when school was virtual, so they made the decision to do virtual learning. 🤷🏼‍♀️  Both Arizona and Utah have it available.

I wonder if Truely has any friends other than family members, since she doesn’t go to school. Talking to people online isn’t the same.

I have had a couple of neuroma surgeries on the bottom of one foot, and I cannot walk barefoot anymore without pain.  I have to wear cushy slippers and shoes.  But I do not like socks.  I wear them only when necessary, and as little as possible.

[winsomeone]

I think it was mentioned that Truely had trouble making friends at school? If so, even more important for her to attend school and be socializing outside of her family setting. Christine has some odd ideas and I think poor Truely takes after her a bit more than is good for her. Isolating her can not be good for her at all at this point in her young life if she is to grow as a person and fit into society.

[laurakaye]

I am of two minds with regards to Christine homeschooling Truely.  Christine doesn't seem like the brightest bulb in the box sometimes, but look at the kids she did homeschool in their early days...Logan is doing great, Hunter is in nursing, Mariah, Ysabel, Maddie, Gwen and Aspyn all went to college, and Paedon, Garrison and Hunter I believe were/are all in the military.  Given the fact that these kids were thrust onto a tv show and had their childhoods filmed for better or worse at the behest of their parents, uprooted countless times by the whims of their dad, not to mention that as they got older they saw less and less of Kody, the fact that none of their lives (that we know of) took a dark turn is I think a testament to Christine and to a lesser extent, Janelle.  Now that Truely is in close proximity to her sisters and brother (and brothers-in-law), I hope that gives her the confidence to make new friends, as well as get any extra help she might need with school that maybe Christine can't give her.

It depends on what kind of trouble Truely had. If she was being bullied, I agree with pulling her out and homeschooling. The schools do nothing of substance to deal with bullies. I do hope she has some social outlet outside the family, like outside activities or something. You can homeschool and still have a community and friends. I know people who do it. 

Maybe Christine was sensitive to the fact that poor Truely would be going on her 3rd school in a relatively short period of time as well. Maybe the poor kid just needed a break. She's been jerked around so much by this family's ridiculous moves. 

 

 

 

 

 

[DakotaJustice]

Just watched the Christine cooking video. She’s making a very yummy (and fattening) carrot cake. It looked great to me! Just under 8 minutes so I don’t think you’d call it a show per se. 

[xwordfanatik]

I watched it, too, and she made the cake sound good (and fattening) but Christine seems completely at ease.  If everything is caloric, I may not try any of the recipes, but I'll still watch to see if her standard mock tapioca puddin' makes an appearance.

That’s what I’m thinking too.

Also,  Christine moved from Arizona to a rental in Utah and maybe she’s still trying to figure out where exactly she wants to settle down permanently (and save Truely the drama of another switch) I’m sure Truely will be attending a normal school once Christine made the decision on where to put down her roots.

From the preview it looks like she’ll be making some sort of veggie omelette at some point as well as her famous rolls (that look amazing by the way, I’m sure Kody will be missing them).

I'll bet he'll be missing them.  IIRC, Christine baked a batch for some family event and Kody came into the kitchen and scored the tops off of most of the rolls.  Maybe Robyn will take note of the recipe when Christine bakes them next as she is no longer "too pretty to cook". 

[SunnyBeBe]

Maybe Christine provided basic teachings back in the day, but if she’s not able to understand and process covid precautions, I’d be concerned with her competence as a teacher for a college bound student.  

[Ms.Lulu]

Just watched the carrot cake video and I thought Christine was really good.  She did all the things I want in a cooking show--she gave tricks (parchment paper and pineapple juice in the frosting, applesauce instead of oil) and she talked about which ingredients are optional--walnuts, pineapple and coconut.  Note, they are not optional for me.  

Maybe it is too remedial for a regular home baker, but I want to make the cake.

After I watched the video I posted the link on my FB newsfeed and said it was cute and NOT like Sisterwives.  Just trying to help a girl out.  Go Christine!  Make a great life for yourself and Truley.

[Gramto6]

Thanks so much for the link! She is really good at explaining and liked that she tasted at the end. Being diabetic, that would probably kill me but boy did it look good!

I wish her much luck in this venture. It is so much better than any MLM!! 

How do I find the link to next week's show? Computer challenged here...

Good job Christine! She is a natural. My sister in law introduced me to parchment paper and it is amazing. I wish her the best of luck.

I watched Christine make a cheese lasagna a while back on Facebook Live, and it looked like something I could actually make. I am not a talented cook, and the chefs on Food Network often use ingredients and tools that I don't have at home and wouldn't buy for just one recipe. Christine's recipe was simple and used items I have or wouldn't mind buying because I would use them again. She also comes across as very likeable. 

I've watched some of Mykelti's Facebook Lives selling LulaRoe, and she is likeable as well, but a bit too hyper and she has a forced happiness about her that is a little over the top. 

 

 

 

 

 

[Cetacean]

I am no gourmet cook or baker but this was really underwhelming to me.  That high pitched enthusiasm is like a pin in my ear.  She didn't give the amounts of some of the ingredients and what, exactly, is a "block" of butter? 

And, seriously, that parchment paper trick that she was so "amazed" about is like baking 101.

I cannot even begin to imagine the calorie count on that thing.

Didn't most of the big kids go to, or are currently enrolled in college? She was the one who taught them all. She said she followed the CDC guidelines for covid precautions, just not Kody and Robyn's extra added precautions.
