- Moving Day! Or rather, days…weeks…months? 😬 I’m getting there, slowly but surely. I documented the main moving push I did over a weekend about a month ago. Speed packing is the new speed cleaning. If only my arms could move that fast in real time! I hope you enjoy the video. Thanks for watching ☺

I was married to an oil baron millionaire here in Houston. I found out he was sleeping with the nanny, kept that info to myself, and enrolled in a graduate program that same month.
We finally divorced last year, our son just graduated from high school, and I finished my PhD two years ago. I don't have a dime in student debt because I played the long game.
You are not alone. I love you.
good on you!
Good! (Side note: My only question is... how did you keep yourself safe? Not to be intrusive, sorry. 😔 Basically sharing your husband. I'm so so sorry. 😔) Incredibly happy for no debt for you though! 💯 A better life. ❤
Lura Harding you stop wanting intimacy with a man who betrays you. That is actually the easiest part.
@@Reldas absolutely.
Glad you're safe. I've had friends in similar situations. Some have not been as 'fortunate' (apologies, for lack of better words). Not everyone can 'resist' their spouse. (*Not to say that for you /all our situations are personal/different, etc. ❤)
Like I said previously, very happy for you. I wish you and your son the best life moving forward. Xx ❤ ❤ Best of luck! ✌🏼😊
I don’t mean to sound condescending in any way, but I am so proud of you. From one single mom to another, I have been watching you for a while and it’s incredible how strong, independent, and brave you have become. Not that you weren’t all those things always, but life is an evolution ...and it has been great to see yours.
Stephanie Remsen Totally agree! She’s amazing.
You are so right and said it so eloquently. Jen please know that you are an inspiration and we adore your strong moments even when you are weakened. Please continue to know we support you and your plans
I agree. It’s been a pleasure to watch her grow. She’s my favorite of all time!
Jen, my heart is with you! ❤
I was coming to say exactly this.
Moving is hard enough but moving while divorcing. Is an emotional rollercoaster. Jen you are doing well 🙏🏽💕
Add on a pandemic to that, and you have an exponentially worse situation. Some people rise to the occasion. Jen has soared.
And I see she's doing it mostly alone. She is a strong woman. She will look back on this and say "I did it"!
I have to admit that I was very sad hearing about the split with you and Don. I always felt the chemistry and warmth between you during the vlogs and would never ever have thought that it was even possible. But then again we only get to see a few minutes of your day. I’ve always felt that you Jen are so sweet, and that there is a calmness in your personality and even a sense of spirituality in you and that I loved you because of it. I pray that you find love again because you deserve it so much and much happiness in your new home. I’m going to miss your old house as I really admired it and loved the way you decorated and took care of it.
Good luck with it all! Sending you virtual hugs!
💖
Thank you so much for your kind words 💕
I’ve been re-watching some of your old vlogs from 2012 and I am so proud of how strong, independent, and self-assured you have become over the years. I just think you are such a cool chick and I hope that you will continue sharing your life with us for years to come.
Also, new house tour soon please! I would so love it if you did something like an “organizing the new house” video series or something like that! 😍
Sounds fun!
Organizing the new house.....yes, please Jen. That’s when I discovered you, with your organization videos. You’re doing wonderful.
Yes please show the new house
Me 3! That’s how I found Organized like Jen!
Packing is no joke! You're a rockstar for doing it all on your own.
Erin Turner I’m sure she had help!
@@cecectconnecticut344 are you suggesting she isn't being truthful? Good grief! Watch the video.
She did great!
She said the only help she had were movers one day, otherwise she did it! I did that a couple of years ago and it’s hard work!
That’s for sure!
Jen, please stop stressing yourself. You have respected us every since you have been on your channel.
We love you Jen!!! ❤️
❤️❤️❤️
Thank you!
Carol Burns Hey now ... I sense nothing demanding in Maxine Sealey’s comment but gratitude and love.
LeilaA that’s all I sensed too, Jen is such a sweetheart we all just want her to happy 💞
Jen, that expression I can say for most of us doesn’t conjure up any negative connotations. Please don’t obsess over it. It’s o k!❤️🙏
agreed Gidget13mwa...I'm black and take no offense to it
I just googled it, comes from wwII and the cracking of gun fire. Like lighting fire, and getting moving.
Ditto, intentions matter! Even when we say or do the wrong thing, if our heart is in the right (or a good place), it shows.
been called a cracker for all my life, from the deep south...i don't take offense and those who called me that found it charming..almost like an endearment
@@allycatangel1 Yup. Royal Air Force during WWII.
Hi Jen. You are brave. Everyone seeing you smile, but something tells me that while you are doing that you are very heartbroken. Probably the exhausting work packing and moving is not as exhausting as your pain. Maybe I'm wrong. I hope I'm wrong. By the other hand, I watch you from organized like Jen. I had lot of motivation watching your videos. Enjoy your new house with your kids.
I agree, it is very hard emotionally and physically to move.
Can see it in jen's eyes she is very much heartbroken, but you are such an amazing women & mother.
"Smiles hide the deepest pain"
It’s totally understandable & natural that she would be heartbroken.
Jen is walking through monumental life-changing events of divorce & changing homes ❤️ And she’s doing it all with such grace & vulnerability ❤️
Bless your heart, Jen...this must have been difficult no matter how you handled it on camera. I am rooting for you and hope to see you living your best life soon.
I’m tearing up watching this because I remember how great it felt when I was packing and moving from my ex’s house and I can see your same joy and excitement and tireless drive to get out of there. It’s so cathartic. Congratulations, Jen! This is such a huge step for you! :)
It is cathartic! 😅
I couldn’t help but to feel sad because you really cherished, took care of that house and made it a home. I’m also happy for your new chapter, healing and growth.
I cant believe you moved this all by yourself! Way to go super Mom!
You’re a brave woman for doing this on your own. Proud of you for being able to move forward and get a fresh new start in your new house. Congrats 🍾
Watching that van get packed was so satisfying and I had to smile and think- “in tru Jen fashion, she packs like a Tetris expert”. 😊
Hope you had a good nights sleep finally! 😊Sending good thoughts and high fives over the miles.
The fact that you waited until the kids were with Don to do all of the packing just amazes me. I don’t know your reasoning but I imagine that having them be able to transition smoothly from one place to the next was a huge benefit and awesome foresight on your end! Kudos momma!
I subscribed to your channel in 2012. I had so much fun in this house!!! The Thanksgiving and Christmas dinners and other family get togethers!!! I'm gonna miss it. I saw your post on Instagram the other day. Take some time for you and the kids, you got a lot going on. Don't worry about posting. We'll be here. Love you.
Jen! I have been rewatching (and rewatching) your holiday videos. From 7-8 years ago. When I first found your channel 5 years ago, I watched these same videos, calling my mom, telling her all about you! I have loved everything about you! Before kids, pregnant and now with kids. I love you! And I’m so happy you bring us along for all of life’s changes! I’m so happy for you to be moving into a new home for new memories! Can’t wait to see it decorated for Christmas!
Watching you do this reminds me of my journey... packing an apartment in a big city with two young children and moving. I was moving out of state, back home. But its amazing the determination, the power, the strength us single mommas get. That was YEARS ago for me. Im now remarried, healthy relationship, grown children PLUS two bonus kiddos (his boys- we did not have one together...4 was enough 😉). We learn and grown so much through 'storms' I n our lives. Im so thankful for my rainbow at the end of that chapter in my journey.
I can’t believe you did all that by yourself, you’re amazing. Should be proud of yourself lady
You are a thoughtful mama bear, who is trying to make the transition for her kids as smooth as possible. They will see all their stuff is still with them, but just in a different house. Jen, get some much needed rest, but don’t take to long, because when need some new organization videos of the new house. I’ve been a subscriber from the beginning, and I’ve seen you grow as a woman over the years. Sometimes growth leads to change! Take care of yourself and those babies!
I thought get to cracking meant waking up at the crack of dawn and getting stuff done for the day. An old farming term. You are always so thoughtful and conscious of what you say :)
I agree...my mom & grandma used that term a lot, I thought it was a Midwest thing!! Lol
Jen I love how you stepped up and you're just doing this and conquering and I feel like I've been watching you from the beginning and I'm so impressed with how you are doing it all on your own
To crack on seems to be an old English term, I found these. Crack a whip to get cattle or horses (pulling a carriage) to move. There is also the suggestion that sailors once used the term to describe raising a sail. I found no mention of what you refer to. People just seem to be overreacting to everything nowadays. The World has gone mad! ANYWAYS! You deserve a medal for what you have done, I am sad you had to do it alone but probably for the best, like you say a lot emotionally to deal with too. PLEASE Make sure you don’t skip meals whilst working, we all tend to just keep going. Sending Love and best wishes.Cant wait for all the new content of you getting straight in the new place. xxx
"Get Cracking" has it's origins in England : get cracking to get busy; get going. {This phr. came into U.S. speech through contact with British armed forces during WWII.} Lighter's first citation for the phrase is from Eric Partridge, Dictionary of Slang and Unconventional English (1936), as "Get cracking, begin work."
😲Oh, thanks for the 👌explanation! English is my second language, but truth be told... I never knew the origins of the phrase. ☺️I learned something new today!
Yes, zI just Googled it too and saw the same thing.
I just heard a black gentleman use the phrase "crack on" yesterday, during a British program on Netflix, meaning to continue what the person was doing.
@@musicmama64 yeah it's a really common phrase here
I am So Proud Of You! Your growth is phenomenal. The woman I am watching today is unbelievably stronger than the one that started this channel. Stay Strong because You Are! Stay Authentic because it is what we love about you. You are not alone, even if we are not physically at your side. Your happiness is right before your eyes...your children. Sending hugs, kisses and prayers your way. You've Got This!
If you ever doubt your own physical or emotional strength, remember this time. This is huge! Moving on your own is a big deal and you've done it!
I'm in awe of your strength. Not only physically, but mentally. You have so much on your plate: moving, divorce, pandemic, social distancing, cleaning, sorting thru items with emotional attachments. WHEW! To tackle just 1 of those is hard. To tackle ALL.AT.ONCE. is incredible! I agree with the way you are doing this move. You're the one who will have to unpack it all. However YOU wish to do it is the right way, for you. I hope all is going as smooth as possible. Take care of you!
Gosh, Jen. Your strength shone through in this video. I was raised by my single mother. She's incredible & you reminded me a lot of her during this move. ...Left with a mess to clean up but just getting on with it. 💪💛
Another single mom who is super proud of you! Its great to see the old Jen coming back. Your silliness, your enthusiasm, your upbeat outlook, your exhausted joy in this new beginning. Congrats on the new home!
I cannot believe how quick you are. It would have taken me all day to complete one room. I think part of my problem is I start looking at things & reminiscing which slows me down. But you inspire me, Jen. I'm really proud of how far you've come. I know it hasn't been easy, but you handle everything w/such grace & you have such a thankful heart. Don't ever change. You have so many people that support you & are wishing the best for you & your family.
I remember my moving day with my then 2 year old well. It was surreal. We drove to our house in VA and got all the boxes and furniture packed for drove back to IL. It was Thanksgiving Day 2003 and we stopped in PA to get a hotel. The only restaurant o pen was a Denneys and my little guy and I are pancakes for dinner. I was just exhausted but It was the beginning of a beautiful adventure. Hang in there!
I haven't read all of the comments so I apologize if this was mentioned before, but I think it's so sad that Don left you to do all of this work by yourself. I realize he is watching the kids, but still I know he has family who could watch them while he helped you. This was his house too and you were his wife for years. You did plenty for him and helping you and the kids get settled into a new home is the very least he could do. I applaud you for doing all of this yourself and I know you will be okay. My best wishes for you in your new life.
Trust me I’m not trying to be rude but his money bought her and the kids a close to 1 million dollar home plus renovations and I’m sure he is paying for the taxes and upkeep for a large home that probably isn’t needed. Obviously there is money she had movers for the furniture so why not have them do it all I’m not getting it. I could see doing the things you need fur her and the kids but the books and such she didn’t need to do that if that was her choice that was her decision. Please you don’t know the situation I’m sure Don is taking very good care of her and the kids and will be taking care of her for rest of her life so don’t bash him you don’t know the entire situation.
Love your tenacity in life and the way you have step up your life journey to be the best mother for your children. Strong resilient beautiful. May you enjoy the blessings of joy and prosperity in Christ amen.
Love how you edited the footage of filling up the van! Every time I move I forget how overwhelming and tiresome it is. Especially since you're the only adult moving, and your kids are too young to be particularly helpful. Congrats on your new house!
The phrase "get cracking" comes from UK English. It entered American English in the early 1900's when American troops came into contact with UK troops during the World Wars. The origin is very unclear, but the most likely is "the sound of bullwhips bring cattle into order for transportation or migration", which is tenuous on its own. Totally up to you about whether or not you want to use it (and seriously good on you for not wanting to use phrases associated with slavery even in the smallest amount), but this term is so far removed from slavery, it seems like it'd be making a mountain out of a mole hill.
Your hot mess looks gorgeous on you.😊. I know these days we are all very sensitive about what we say and how we say it and as a African-American woman I know you are a very good person and you never mean to say anything that is negative about anyone. Good vibes only Jen...
I second that
Same🥰
I’m exhausted just watching you and thinking of what an enormous job it is to move all your stuff by yourself! However, this could be very cathartic to make this transition on your own and bring only the things that give you joy! Regardless, it’s a lot of physical and emotional baggage every time you start a new adventure! You’ll get through this with flying colors!
Excited for you entering this new chapter in your life and appreciate every minute you decide to share with us. Take care moving is exhausting! 😊
You are one positive, thoughtful, and caring woman. I’ve watched your channel for years and have always been inspired by the fortitude, optimism, and beautiful grace that you have always held, yet is as evident as ever through this season. Blessings to you!
Moving house is soo stressful, you have done a stellar job, hats off to you 👏👏👏😍
Once again handling such a tough situation so gracefully. Getting divorced is no easy task let alone having two kids in the midst of all of it . And then having to move in the midst of a worldwide pandemic. I have much respect for how you handled the situation that life is thrown at you in the last couple of months . You will continue to do amazing things Jen , and just proves it.
PS. I feel like every time I watch a video your editing skills develop so much. You're always trying something new!
You are such a strong a powerful woman! To do all this moving on your own is insane, you should be incredibly proud of yourself, as we all are! It’s so great to see how excited and ready you are for this new journey in your life! I can’t wait to see the new home and I hope you and the kiddos are doing great! 💕
You are amazing and I appreciate you sharing so much of your life’s journey. I’ve been following you for such a long time and I dream I will be a tenth as organized as you are one day. Your videos are truly a relief sometimes.
Wow, Jen. Thank you so much for your consideration on the term used in this video. The fact that you've thought about it,...are conscious of more things is really appreciated. You really are awesome! Thank you, again, for being so thoughtful and for not wanting to offend, whether or not it has connotations of slavery attached. Just thank you for being conscious of these things.
Wow! That was a lot of work. I am so excited to see the new house. I love your organizing videos so that will be fabulous. Take care of yourself. I hope you get some good rest.
I’ve been watching you for years Jen and I want to send you my very best wishes for this new chapter in your life.
Jen, I hope you know how awesome and strong you are!!! You’re real friends and “fans” block out the negative comments and people! Keep going strong momma!!! Much love to you and your family
Wow Jen, I'm out of breath watching you all that on your own. Soooooo proud of you your strength is a inspiration in my life. As I shared with you bits of my journey in a private message on Instagram, your journey is giving me HOPE. Grateful to you in so many ways and I want to say THANK YOU. Can't wait to watch your new content when you are ready of course. Only when it feels right to do so, I understand this completely. REST UP after this move and embrace the moment you're in as much as you can. Enjoy!! :)
I wish I was a local friend so I could help or at least be there for moral support through the hard part.
I know the pain of this major life change and I applaud you for your drive to move and settle as seamlessly as possible especially for the children.
I am excited for the new home organization content!
You’re doing great Jen. You’re going through two of the most stressful experiences of your life and not only smiling, but sharing with us. I think that’s amazing and I think there would have to be some pretty hard hearts around to not appreciate that. ❤️
As someone who doesn’t have the blessing of not being pressed for time when it comes to moving out when I move, I love your reasons behind the way you’ve chosen to handle your moving situation. It’s going to make the biggest difference when it’s all said and done.
This is so sad :( I am sad and don't know why ? I've watched you since the very first video close to 10 years ago💞👑Sending you strength , love ...what you are doing is beyond difficult BEYOND .
Hi Jen, an alternative to get cracking I heard on Great British Bake off - Get a wiggle on. Thought it was cute :) Hope you are enjoying the new house
I always thought it was get a wriggle on 🤔🤣
So Google informs me it's both and derives from a German word to get moving. Phew 😅 thought my whole life as a Brit was a lie for a moment LOL
I completely appreciate your being conscious of what language/phrases/etc. you are using, and your pause caused me to go do my own research on the phrase as it's something I use quite a bit as well, but there is no evidence of get crackin' having any type of racial, anti-Black, or slavery origin. So, you can continue to get crackin' guilt free :) Amazing job with the move girl!
Jen, know that we are all there with you in spirit helping you every step of the way! We are all so proud of you. 🤗
You're doing great Jen! This makes me think of my mom who moved many times with my sister and I about the same age difference as your little ones, and she did it as a single mother by herself too! Every place we moved she always made sure that our bedrooms were unpacked and looked as normal as possible. I can't imagine how overwhelmed, scared and stressed out she must have been. I hope the move went well and I'm sure I'm not the only one who's looking forward to seeing your new place and just watching you start your new life! ❤
Your mom is amazing ❤️
@@WithWonder I agree! I just sent her a text message letting her know just that😊
I’ve been a follower for many years-pre kids/housewifelife days! I just want to tell you how much I have enjoyed watching you grow and mature over the years, especially the last several months. You should be so proud of yourself! Keep on keeping on!
Thank you for considering us Jen. All it takes is just being mindful of the things we say and do to make the world a better place. I just love your channel. I’ve been a subscriber since you began. A
Hi Jen I’ve been waiting for your vlog and am so excited to watch it! Just a friendly tip - we have moved from calling it a “master” bedroom to “primary” or “principal” or “owners” bedroom here in Canada. 😘👍🏼 I know you, like many of us, are being diligent in watching for and questioning phrases and words we’ve used for so long that are rooted in slavery. It’s difficult to catch everything. I know! ❤️❤️❤️
Edited: I just saw your note about “cracking” and I’d never thought of that one! Thank you for that. We can all learn from each other and hopefully get there.
Get cracking has nothing to do with slavery. In my opinion we are overcompensating with our language and this is condescending to others. Just being kind to all is all we need to do.
Long time follower here...I have to say you are doing a wonderful job! To tackle this whole move thing all on your own is amazing! You are such a great role model for your kids! They can see they have a wonderfully capable momma!! You amaze me Jen and my best to you!!
You've inspired me. No, I wasn't packing to move, I'm canning. I sat down because "I couldn't do one more thing." I started watching you and felt lazy. I stopped the video, finished my canning and cleaned up. It still wasn't a fraction of what you accomplished. Please know that you are an inspiration to so many people and we thank you.
Bless your beautiful heart Dear Jennifer ❤️🙏🏻 Sending you love from Greece💕💕💕
You're doing great, Jen! I totally understand why you would want to go through your things yourself. I think it's part of the process of saying goodbye to what's behind you and starting fresh. Wishing you all the best and can't wait to see your new home and the happy memories you make there.
Jen... You really got a lot done! I completely understand you not wanting to just pack everything up and move it to your new place (only to have to sort and get rid of things later). Moving gives you the opportunity to make a fresh start and set up your new home exactly the way you want it.
You are such a lovely person! And I thoroughly enjoy watching your channel. Can’t wait to see the new house 😊
my first thought while watching was: I would hand sanitize up/mask up and head to a room to help pack and load my car and drive over, drop off in the appropriate room, and head back to do another to help you!!! Social distancing of course!! How in the WORLD did you do this alone????? Girl, you underestimate your super powers!!!!!
Mainly because I’m incredibly stubborn and independent 😆
@@WithWonder I have moved many people and sometimes more than once. But I would probably never ask for help for my own moves and try to do it all on my own too. Good thing I (well used to) go to the gym a lot and lift weights because muscles and strength are definitely needed when we stubborn and independents try to lift things on our own. I remember one time I was donating off a huge piece of furniture and the guy at drop off was trying to find someone to help him unload it. I told him ohh I will carry it with you, I loaded it into my car all alone. He gave me a crazy look and look unconvinced but I lifted it with ease and carried in in with him.
From what i can find the phrase "get cracking" is originally a sailer term and i haven't been able to find any connection between that and slavery or anything anti-black.
People need to chill. Not EVERYTHING is racist.
Sailing produced a LOT of expressions that are used today!! Not surprised to hear this is one of them. Learn the ropes. Keel over. Three sheets to the wind. Get on board. Batten down the hatches. Give a wide berth. Feeling blue. Toe the line.
@@lilactreehouse Yes, seriously! Ive been subbed to Jen since before this channel when she had like 5 different ones and shes always been my favorite creator by far, but the recent desperate to be extremely woke is off-putting. Being sensitive and understanding is great but making something out of nothing in current social climate is extremely unnecessary.
@@rachellekaye I personally agree with you but I think influencers are having a hard time right now. People are all over them for any and everything. Its a sad world we're becoming...
Heather Jones right? It's like people are afraid to leave their house or they'll be accused of being a racist by someone for something!
Wow, you are doing so much. I am so impressed that you are holding it together so well. This was not an easy video to make and you should be proud of yourself for all that you are achieving.
Jen I am so happy to see this video. I am looking forward to watching this new adventure for you and your family. You take care
I loathe moving. I couldn't imagine having to pack up a home as big as yours. What a trooper!
Your amazing! I'm proud to say I'm an OG subscriber! Less then 100 when I first subscribed via my old account! I've watched faithfully through the years, and I'm amazed at how you have grown and how strong you are! We are the same age, and I feel like we have grown together. My thoughts and prayers are with both you and Don as you both navigate this season of life.
I'm so excited to see the new home!
WOW! You're a moving rockstar! Also, I really appreciate you including your disclaimer about the phrase instead of just editing it out! Demonstrating that kind of re-thinking is so helpful to others. Thank you so much for continuing to be thoughtful about this issue beyond the hype a few weeks ago. (And for the folks arguing the phrase originated before slavery in America: impact > intent. Even if just a few Black folks I'm listening to have expressed discomfort with the term, it feels like a very low bar to just get rid of such a minor thing in my vocabulary rather than risk making others around me feel unsafe because I feel lazy or entitled about using that phrase 🙄 Have a little compassion!)
You worked so hard all by yourself! I watched this while on the treadclimber and every time I wanted to quit I would think about how hard you were working to pack up the house and it made me not wimp out! ❤️😂
The thumb nail made me laugh out loud! I have moved a lot in my life and the expression on your face is exactly how I feel every time I move 😂
😜
Huge loving hugs for you. You are a phenomenally strong Woman and Mother and a wonderful inspiration to us all. Positive thoughts and vibes!
I’m so proud of you Jenn!!!! As much as I will miss that house...I’ve been a subscriber for years...SEEING HOW HAPPY YOU ARE IS SO BEAUTIFUL!!!! Just excited for a new chapter and finding new and old bits of yourself!!! Can’t wait to see whatever you decide to share with us!!!! Congratulations again!!! 🥳🥳🥳🥳😜
Awesome job, mama!!! I love the shot of your car full of toys 😍💖 blessed!!!
Oh my goodness. I just had flashbacks of when I had to move from the 3200 sq ft house I shared with my husband (we are separated) by myself 3 years ago. It was so much work! I completely understand about the emotional attachment to things and deciding whether or not to take them into your new space. You get some rest, girl!
My husband and I are in the process of planning out our Tiny Home journey. Watching this video confirms we are absolutely doing the right thing. I dread moving and packing and sorting and purging. We’ve adopted a minimalistic lifestyle for the last 4 years or so. Our journey is very unique and is not for everyone. I admire you for doing it at your own pace and all alone from what it looks like. Good luck in the new space. Hoping it brings you much joy 💕
Best wishes to you and your family! Thank you for sharing some of your move!
I have enjoyed watching your vlogs for so long and always loved the old Jen. I have to say this new Jen though has my heart. It has been lovely watching you evolve into your true self.
You are so proper. No words could be offensive. We all learn as we go. I moved 5 times with and without children. So much to do. Downsized now. You are doing great!!
Wow you did a lot of work. You deserve a break. You are a very good mother and don’t allow anyone to tell you anything different. God bless you.
YOU ARE AMAZING!!!!!! Your strength and tenacity is admirable. You did it. Congratulations on your new journey.
I divorced and moved also and it was not fun. I was unable to pack anything without crying so my Mother came and did that for me. I was ok with the packing the cars and moving into the new place but just couldn’t pack things up from where we lived together. Good for you for being so brave and I wish you the very best in your new home which, I know you will love.
I have been watching for a while years and years and I used to think very differently about you but I have to say I admire you so much for the way you are handling all of this. The pain emotional pain must be as hard as the physical and you are doing it with such grace that my eye fill with tears. I sincerely wish you nothing but a fresh and peaceful new beginning in a house that I know you will transform into your home. Your kids are very blessed to have a mama like you. All the best to you and your babies.
You are amazing! When you get to the new house for tonite - first make up the bed and then when the last load is out of the van, take a nice bath/shower, do your skin care, soak your hands and feet, condition your hair, even paint your toes! Reward your body for the magnificent job you have done so far, have a cup of tea and sit with it and collect your thoughts. You are so organized, you are so lucky to be a person that has so many bins, etc. so that you didn’t overpack boxes and hurt yourself. Accept help from your parents (if you’re comfortable with them going out, etc.), maybe just to have a break at lunch with them. They love you and the emotional support always helps. You are an extremely strong woman, I can’t wait to see your new home! Love you!
I know the move is likely about over at this point, but if you ever end up moving in the future or anyone reading this is going to be moving... I highly recommend having the movers pack up everything if you can. It goes so fast when they do that. We have moved 10 times in 13 years and have done it about every way possible - and that is definitely the easiest & quickest way to move. Hope you’re getting all settled in! 💜
Can’t believe you were doing all that work on your own. That’s a big undertaking. Don’t think I could do all that. Hope your new house brings you a fresh start in your new life! Wishing you all the best! Can’t wait to see the organizing videos!!
I’m so excited for you. I can’t believe I have to wait a whole week to see more of you and the new house even though you are already there and somewhat settled. You are amazing Jen!
You're doing really good. You're a trooper. Moving is hard work and you're doing great.
Love you Jen!💗 You’re amazing girl . Sending prayers your way. Bittersweet. I can’t wait to see that kind of content too. I know the new place will be so great for you to have new projects. I’ve watched you since the very beginning on the other channel. I feel like you’re an old friend I’ve laughed and cried with . 💗-Amanda
You are a very strong woman to do all that by yourself! I pray for your strength.
So proud of you Jen. Your organizing helps , it instills habit, order, self discipline. And a desire to accomplish whatever task one has to take on. You will make it. All of us who watch you are rooting for you , supporting you, And praying for you. May you have much joy, great moments ahead for you and your children.
One of the best moves we ever did when the kids were young was moving a little by little. I packed items, moved them and put the directly away before moving the next bundle.
You are AMAZING!!! I am overwhelmed and tired just seeing the amount of work you have to do on your own. When I saw your video, I just kept thinking, thank goodness she keeps such a beautiful, clean, and organized home. Jen, if anyone can do this , it’s you!
you are the truth!!! you should be proud of yourself!!!! i'm proud of you!! your kids are so fortunate!!!!!
You are an absolute rock star, Jen! It took me AGES to pack up a 983 square foot townhome. Just a teaspoon of your energy and drive would get me through so much. It's bittersweet to watch you pack up and leave this house, but I'm so excited for what God has planned for you and the kids. Can't wait to see it unfold!
