Thanksgiving in a wheelchair at my mom's 

Why do you say you are “in” a wheelchair? You are on a wheelchair. I know it’s a habit but it’s what people say who don’t know any better , like it’s some kind of box or cell. When actually it’s the exact opposite,as you know. It’s freedom and ability. The poor wheelchair is so misunderstood. 😢. 😊lol going into my 43rd year, happened when I was 23 in 1980 and even though life can be a nuisance I’m still in no rush to go anywhere. I was looking into travel trailers just for fun so I watched your lift vid for some info, thanks!.I wish you the best, cheers.

I’m not in a wheelchair, but I need to know all the stuff so if I meet somebody in a wheelchair and help me get respective of what they go through and if we become friends, I need to know all the stuff

Interesting question about “accommodations” at friend’s houses. You know from previous conversations that I hate the fact that our home is not accessible - 3 steps up at both front door and onto our new deck. One friend carries a portable ramp but that only works for 2 steps up. We are trying to find solutions. Since we worry enough about making sure we know all our friends’ food allergies when we have them for dinner, and stocking their kind of pop and their favourite kind of wine, then my wife and I NEED to do what we can to make our home accessible to at least the main floor.

Oh my god, your nephew has the most amazing hair colour ! I would love it 😊

You had me at Pierogi!! DROOLING Then you said cabbage roll! Omg!! Then ham!! Omg! Yummy!! 🤤🤤🤤 I'll dream food from my past 🇵🇱 holidays! Yes always be thankful!! Cheers!! ThankQ for the giggles!! 😋

I just just lost my legs and I thank you for showing your videos on how you do it because I'm new at it and watching your videos help me I fell off a cliff and Bodega Bay in California and it was about maybe three stories so that's how I lost my legs I mean I have my legs but I'm paralyzed from the waist down

So nice to see your Mom and Dad and the rest of the family. Happy Thanksgiving from the Bowman’s. 😘

Seems to me that you and Amy Adams were separated at birth A good friend of mine has a 27 year old daughter who was struck by a vehicle while cycling and suffered brain damage and ended up in a wheelchair Good news is that she is making excellent physical and cognitive progress More to the point - I find your positive attitude and motivation quite inspiring I will be sure to tell her about your site God bless you and your family

23:21 that was hilarious 😂

Happy Thanksgiving. What a beautiful fun family. I love your channel. It’s so full of positivity. Thanks for sharing your Mom’s salad recipe. ❤️🤗

Absolutely hilarious lol!! Can't wait for the next get together. Love you!! ❤️

Love 💕 how informative you are.

I learned something new. I had no Idea Canada celebrated Thanksgiving in October. Who knew?

lucky no named bf

Lovely✌🏻❤❤

Dotto on the recipes. Amd, youu seem to have a reasonably true-to-life famo;y… even the sister's boyfriend whose name may not yet be known. Plus, I've never celebrated Thanksgiving (down in he U.S.) with both turkey AND a ham. Meat Fest!

That kid has the reddest hair I've ever seen! And your son looks just like you. You've got a lovely family!

Did I hear you say your sister is Gluten Intolerant, I am gluten free person, Your Thanksgiving meals look delicious

It seemed so odd that you would make the place - your home - that you use every day “slightly uncomfortable” but then when you fully explained it, it made perfect sense. Planning ahead. You truly are the “doer of hard things”!!

As I've commented before I'm not a wheelchair user but do use mobility aids. When I'm not at home accommodations aren't made for me except maybe a bin in the bathroom & I am given assistance with whatever I decide to ask for help with.

❤❤❤❤wow and funny

I am not a wheelchair user BUT, that would not stop me from making all the necessary allowances within my capabilities for a guest in my home. Did allergies, intolerance issues with kids diets for 15 years so what's a bed or bathroom change up. 🤷‍♀️

Your videos and family are amazing!

You have a fun family and your laugh and smiles are fantastic. Thanks for sharing and blessings to you.

What a wonderful family!

Looks like a good time had by all

Very good. Your kids seem to have their fathers eyes. Are you sure you're the mother ? :o)

You have a wonderful family

Excellent your videos in general!

The little guy with the red hair , who did he belong to

Great video! Our family likes the Chinese cabbage slaw too. Wcb for MS since '94. Keep smiling! Blessings.

I knew there was something off about you!!!! Your Canadian!!!!

I'll tell you what kiddo- you ain't afraid to eat lol....... That Ham looked off the hook... You and I would fight over that!

Being a wheelchair user this makes me feel better

I love cabbage rolls and pierogis...my favourite are the Russian ones with sour cream and raisins (I forget the Russian name) and for dinner we always have I love cabbage rolls and pierogis...my favourite are the Russian ones with sour cream and raisins (I forget the Russian name) and for dinner we always have sauerkraut with kielbasa, green beans and Spaetzle, kale, Reibekuchen, Kartoffelpuffer with sour cream and of course baked apples with gingerbread or marzipan and spiced cranberries and Apfel Strudel. Only my name is Italian 🤣.You already told us about new beau...he doesn't care how you pee 😂. I've had Japanese cabbage salad before, except mine has raisins and the almonds are candied...oh and apple slices. I guess we ended up putting a German spin on it because the dressing is sesame seed oil and apple cider vinegar and bacon (and yes, you can't go wrong cooking it in the oven). Now that I think of it, the addition of apple slices is probably a German spin as well 🤔.

Ok so I’ve been bingeing your videos for like a week now and I have an idea for your vlogs! Drinking game: 1) Viewer takes a drink every time you forget to hit ‘record.’ 2) Viewer takes a drink every time you mention bowel routine 3) Viewer takes a drink every time you pee somewhere that is not a bathroom 4) Viewer takes a drink every time a kid takes over the vlog 5) Viewer takes a drink every time someone says “Canadian.” See how many vlogs it takes to get tipsy! Here’s the problem with this idea: I don’t drink. So somebody else try this for me please kthx.

Brittney&joe that was amazing nice to see your familey. thank you

So glad you added recipes! Fun to see different foods from Texas thanksgiving. Happy Thanksgiving!

A am so impressed, and jealous of your positivity, beautiful attitude. Btw, I want the gorgeous red hair! You don’t need to be in a wheelchair, for your mother to take over! Lol. You will always be a child to them. 😂

I didn't want to bug you again today, but Deb and I have a question about this salad which we are making this evening or tomorrow morning - do we cook the Ramen Noodles, and leave the chow mein noodles as is?

Beautiful family and much love! You're very blessed and I pray that all remains as amazing as it is now!

I avoid all of those issues because I just don’t travel. People come to me or I go see friends and family here in the area. my routines take with you much time and energy for me to enjoy being around others and it please tell is not my home. Traveling is not something we all enjoy.(I am using a first to text software, so I hope that this comment comes out OK.)

I think the time has come that the “blue pads” might be an added precaution for my wife. Since I know some supplies, such as a male urinal, can be purchased at Shoppers Drug Mart, can blue pads be purchased at only medical supplies stores? And, is there a fuller name for these blue pads? Thank you.

Amen Amen and Amen in Jesus Name to everything!!!😁

This is such a good video! Tons of interesting info and lots of fun! I've now watched this video with a couple of friends who wanted to see first hand of what I enjoyed so much! It's now my 3rd favorite one of your videos! So happy!

The turkey meal look so similar to what my mom use to make many yrs ago. Brought back good memories

I recently had your Japanese cabbage salad….but with shredded broccoli….very goooooood.

Looked like a really fun Thanksgiving weekend spent with an awesome, happy family. That food looked amazing too.

Good to see. My in-laws are on three levels. Yes, butt scooting up and down stairs but fortunately bathrooms are accessible if not friendly. I manage and am thankful for the visits in any case. My best to you and your family.

I got so emotional at the end of the vlog. That’s because I have a hard time saying “goodbye “ and you reminding us to be thankful. God bless always 🙏🏾

Lovely to see family life. What amazing red hair your nephew has!!

AND THE BLESSING GOES ON

Your son has your eyes and your daughter looks like Joe funny how genetics work so cute.

jace her nephew is my brother

nice looking family, God bless all.

hey girl, im sorry, lve your videos, i have commented and you have replied You bang on about thanks giving dinner thats a sunday roast we do every week in uk, you guys need some lessons girl lol where is yorkshire puddings, gravy looks anemick, just kiddin great video BUT YOU DO LESSONS FROMA BRIT LOL XXX

👏💜👍🙏🤗♿️

No no no no no no no no no no (in the Kevin Hart voice) First off you are totally yoked!!! Good for you Second, thanks for the email. You're awesome!! I will definitely let you know when I start my channel. Maybe we could do a collab or something 😉 Third, it's so sad to hear that you make your home slightly uncomfortable so it's easier for you to deal with slightly uncomfortable situations outside of the home. Work smarter not harder my friend from the north!!! Your home should be easy and very comfortable. I know traveling is hard, but make it easier on you by bringing the things that you need. My in-laws house is set up with a parking spot and 36-in doors. They're pretty set up without the grab bars at the toilet. My mother's house, our family cabin home, and part of my travel 🧳 is equipped for my necessary assessment stuff. Which includes a bedside commode, a walker, bed cane (which I absolutely need to post that for your bed necessity) various spices (if we go to an Airbnb) and gluten-free / healthy foods. I have a bed cane that breaks down into parts so it's easy to pack. Yes I do have a big glorious roller bag. But it's under the 40 lb airplane limit and I'm able to pack all of my stuff and my sons. I have found that people just do not know how to make things accessible. However they are happy to do anything that will make it easier for you if you just ask. I love love love your energy and positivity. Keep posting new videos cuz I love watching them.

I'm glad you had a good time. You and your family ought to come down next month and experience Thanksgiving in the south. When all of my family shows up at Mom's house, nobody would notice four extra people.

Pierogis?.. I give up, what are they? We certainly don’t have these here in Australia. 🐨 🦘🦘
