It feels funny talking with past Jessie when I’ve gotten used to talking with almost-current Jessie everyday in December
Girl you are a great mom!!!!! Do not let anyone ever make you feel otherwise. You feed your sweet girls as a family, then make sure they are bathed and cuddled in bed before you two ever get a chance to eat. You two always put your babies first. Love your channel. You two are amazing.
I tottaly agree whit you. My daughters are grown ups. My oldest is a mom off a beautiful little girl herself. And i have always bin a easy mom if you know what i mean. I didnt have a lot off rules but a good open communicatie whit my girls. So when there was something they came to me always. I saw whit friends that had parents that ferry strict they did not talk to there parents about it. ❤
Dear Jess and Tyler…my kids are young adults and still not on social media…if you can guide them through their early puberty years, they will surprise you. Many teens are are purposefully avoiding social media these days. The most important thing is to let them know they are completely loved and secure. The rest will fall in place. Y’all are doing a phenomenal job!
I taught high school girls until last year and I 1000% support any parent's decision to keep their kids off social media. Even from a developmental standpoint, those kids tend to be further along and more socially adjusted than their peers, not to mention that it keeps them out of the path of so many dangers.
I used to say Leah wouldn’t be 30 and have a sippy cup, well she is 30 and always has her water bottle with her 😂😂😂
LOL! Hey, whatever works for hydration!
😂
It’s technically not a sippy cup 😉
Lol! I tell myself this with so many things for my 6 year old. The struggle is real.
My mom used to work late nights because she had to support us, so we didn’t always have dinner together. As you said, everyone’s days look different and it sucks that you have to defend your peace. Gigi always looks so happy in your videos and you can tell all the love that you and Tyler have for your family. A few dinners missed aren’t gonna be what she remembers down the line. Thanks for sharing with us Jess! 🖤
The hunching over the mirror is so relatable. I do that all the time and always keep asking myself, "WHY? Just raise up the mirror!" LOL
Jessica..Sweetie you do not have to explain your life to anyone. We are are all individuals and we all raised our children different. You are Sweet and loving and have a beautiful heart anyone that watches you more than a minute can see that . Remember the old saying 'To thine own self be true" and you are just that be yourself . We love you just the way you are..Love from Kansas🥰
I set myself a Book Challenge because of you and Tyler. I’m 2 books away from hitting my goal of 60.
60? bravo!
Loved this long chat. I can tell that you guys are great parents with a healthy balance. Gigi & Felicity are so lucky.
My step son’s obsession with social media & FOMO induced genuinely crippling anxiety has such a huge impact on our family. It seems like such a tiny thing, but I can assure you, it isn’t. Being careful with your kids & social media is a wise, responsible choice.
Milani just came out with a tubing mascara!!! Please try it and see if it compares to the thrive one or tarte one!!
Kelly Gooch said it was a dupe for the thrive one and I flew to the ulta site to get it 😂😂 I haven't tried the thrive one but I'm hopeful it's a good one. Definitely hope Jess tries it!
Is it the one in the blue-green tube? I just added it to my cart!
@@LindsayD228 yes!! It almost looks like the thrive one too! Do you like it?
I love how you call yourself Jessie when talking to yourself… I go by Jess so I always call myself Jessica when I do something silly. Anyway, that just always makes me laugh. 🥰
Love it too! Everyone calls me Jen but I always call myself Jennifer when I do something silly.
I usually call myself Jess but when I’m annoyed at myself, I sternly call myself Jessica 😂
I think your daughter's are so blessed to have you and Tyler has their parents. You guys provide an amazing life for them with great memories. Kudos to you! ❤
Your dinner habits (lol) have actually positively influenced me! I enjoy making your recipes, got back into cooking out of cookbooks, and hope to play more games with my husband this year. So I’m thankful you share this piece of your day with us ☺️
My husband is a teacher/coach & our dinner times were sometimes at his office so we could be together, sometimes it was just me & my daughter. As long as you have meals & conversations, who cares where it when. Littles need extra sleep & at some point that will change. Don’t stress because it’s obvious that you & Tyler are awesome parents
We spent our Christmas snowed in! We had a giant blizzard that brought hurricane force winds with a lot snow. It was crazy! But we were safe and had power so we were so thankful.
Hi Jessica 😊look, you two are clearly besotted with your girls ❤️ please don’t feel you have to justify yourself when it’s clearly nonsense. It’s obvious yo us, the viewer, how much you adore your girls. And anyway, in todays crazy times. People work DLL hours round the clock. My dad was never hind at dinner time ( other than weekends) as he worked nights. Thank you do much to you both gif the Christmas content… you are amazing! Much love from the UK xx
Jess, I totally agree with you guys wanting to spend dinner time together, and you also have many dinners with Gigi too! I think you guys are such wonderful parents with your kids. I love these types of videos; I don't care how long your videos are. It seems like this December flew by so fast. You guys will be ready for a long winter's nap. Lol Much love to you guys! 💖
I totally agree on the parenting. I think teaching them self control and options are 2 huge life skills!
Talking about not eating dinner until 9 is wild to me 😂. I basically stop working (from home) at 3:30 or 4 so I can make sure dinner is ready to eat at 5pm. I am a 90 year old in a 33 year old body.
We do the same exact thing 😂👵🏻
I have 4 kids, 21, 19, 16, & 13. the young years are so precious. current worries: driving, college, attitude & perspectives adjustments, & well pre-teen years that come with behavioral challenges. parenting can be worrisome bc you innately want to protect your kids all of the time @ any age, & well when they move out on their own it can become empty nesters & where you don’t get the enjoyability of enjoying your kids even amongst the chaos, structure, routine, etc…
I have 2 teens, I remember very clearly (which was odd that it just happened, we didn’t plan to do this before kids) we fed my first at a different time than us, (he was eating different foods, ate earlier, went to bed earlier etc) and yes it was the only time that my hubby and I got to talk without interruption all day. I looked forward to that and actually miss that time! Enjoy every stage of parenting, it’s all a joy for different reasons!❤
We traveled to my Dad's house for Christmas. It was the first time celebrating with him on Christmas since I was 13 years old. I'm 32 now. It was amazing to be with him.
Oh man do I feel the struggle of family dinners. I’ve read so much about the benefits of it and it’s something we want to prioritize for our children, but with a 4yo and 2yo, it just doesn’t happen every night. Truthfully, we’re lucky if it happens 4/7 nights. Either they won’t eat what we want or they are so tired from the day that they need to eat early. You’re so right, WE ARE ALL JUST DOING OUR BEST ❤
I have girls that are currently 15 and 19. We had a few loose rules about makeup. 1)Not necessary. If we can leave the house because you are freaking out over makeup, you need a break from it. 2)It is to accentuate your natural beauty. You can not wear makeup to cover and change who you are (my daughter wanted at one point to cover all her moles). They don't wear it all the time and do like some crazy eye looks but who cares;). I was blogging when my kids were little and we waited to let them get online too. It hasn't created any problems.
Audiobook totally count as “reading”.
I get motion sick if I read in the car/train, but as I have almost an hour in the train to and from work, I hear a lot of audiobooks.
Then I read on my ebook at home
I love this big sister Jess advice. Please do more of these! My daughter is right at the age, 11, where she wants to wear makeup and this resonated with me. We let her get a phone because all of her friends had one, but no social media. I don’t know when we’ll allow it. Also, regarding family dinner - we almost never eat with our kids. I have picky eaters and I’m like a line cook. We feed them and then sit down to eat when ours is ready. I have three and I’m just so tired. Sometimes parents just have to do what works for them and their families. ❤
I don't eat with my kids either. Never really have, though there have been a few times when I've felt guilty or have been guilted for it. 🙄 On that end, I did grow up eating dinner at the table, and I don't reflect fondly on any of that either, so there's that. We all have to do what works for us. Two of mine are almost grown (18 in Jan & 17 in July), and one is almost 6 in Jan. 😆 The idea of it may sound great, but it's never actually been great for my family in practice. I don't even LIKE eating at the table. We all kind of do our own thing though I'm the primary cook, and have always eaten on different schedules since forever. Add in 12 hour nursing shifts , and no. Just say no to pressure to do things that don't work for you. I used to stress over things like this, feel Mommy Guilt, & I'm so glad something changed where the most trivial things went away. I think it's because I'm TIRED. 😆
Talking about past Jessie☺️ can’t believe I’ve been here since (basically) the beginning!!! I feel like Jessie’s channel (and herself) is like a fine wine, it just gets better with age! ☺️
I always laugh because being a youtuber has to be one of the few jobs that 90% of people will immediately ask you how or if you make money 😂
I love your videos so much. So therapeutic to watch after work or during work in the background.
So about family dinner night..ignore ppl that question it. 1, it's not their business and 2, who cares? Your kids are healthy and are being fed . A lot of the time when my kids were little they were ready for dinner and my husband and I were not. My priority was to feed them dinner and get their bellies full..then later on when we were ready my husband and I would eat. But with our kids bedtimes and baths, etc it would be later. And yes some days I had my crap together and we would eat as a family. My kids are now 29 and 21 and I have grandkids. My 21 yr old is still at home with us and he'll eat when he is hungry. My daughter feeds her kids when they're hungry. Bc she works nights she eats her dinner then gets ready then her husband will finish getting the kids dinners together. We all eat differently . As long as the kids are eating, who should care?
Love the low key chaos of the video not being overly planned! As for travel during the holidays it can be the best depending on your region. In highschool my mom shifted gears and instead of presents we would go on vacation lol she would save money all year and we'd fly out on Christmas and fly back on new years day. Low prices on flights because most people want to be doing the big family Christmas, which we didn't really do anymore. Those were some of the best memories, and really instilled the mindset of memories > stuff...
I think this might be my favorite style of video for you, honestly! You all spoil us so much with vlogmas that you all feel more and more like family every year. Love you!! Happy New Year!
I have been watching you from the beginning and love you and your sweet family. You are Tyler are doing amazing with your sweet girls. Keep up the good work do what feels right to y’all and what works for y’all. Love y’all. Also have enjoyed vlogmas so much this year.
I love, love, love, this style of vlog and video that you do. Always just feels like I’m hanging out with a friend.
After hearing you talk about it, I went through to the beginning of your channel, and they were almost all watched from the beginning of your channel until now!❤❤
I just got back from Florida for Christmas. My family and i travel every year for Christmas and I love it!
when i was growing up we used to watch the news while eating dinner, now we dont & just catch up. family dinners are wonderful to grow socially & interact with each other. also my mom is a retired teacher & her work came home with her. grading papers, etc…& it was a very low paying job in her years as a catholic school teacher. I was a student in her class & have memories that I get to tell my own kids. One of my favorite memories is the talking stick, a sparkle tube baton wand thingy that we passed around when it was one person’s turn to talk. taught us patience & respecting the speaker! we also had mental health day off passes where we didnt have any homework for that day but got the grades credit for homework. we had free dress days where we didnt have to wear our uniforms. & current events & hot lunch fridays
I've appreciated your vlogs this year more than ever. My compliments to you for filiming a regular vlog during Vlogmas ❤💚❤💚❤
I feel you on the dinner time thing. I always feel like I'm failing, but on the other side of the spectrum. I work, make dinner when I get home, my 3 year old eats the same dinner as us, he takes forever to eat it, so bedtime is 9 pm if we're lucky, and bath doesn't happen every night because of this. We also have a one year old, and she eats enough of her own food that she sometimes starts her dinner early. The same people who get on your case about not eating together would probably also get on my case about getting my 3 year old to bed after 9 pm, sometimes without a bath. It's impossible to do it all "right".
I agree about the concealer! It definitely seems like there is glitter in it!
I’m in a new relationship where I don’t have a lot of family on his side, and I have to admit, only having to go to one home was lovely! Best Christmas I’ve ever had 🥰
Love this video as usual! I remember when our kids were little like yours - we had a hard time getting it together to all have dinner together! It gets better with time for sure 🥰 Happy New Year!
After hearing you talk about Thrive Market, my husband and I got an annual membership and love it!
The free gifts are always really good and a great value. Being gluten intolerant I have found so much I can eat.
Thanks for being so real and relatable. And for the record, a few days a week my husband and I will feed the kids (6 and almost 4) dinner first and then let them go play or watch a movie while we eat because that might be our only time to talk. I work nights and he works normal hours so that hour or less is much needed.
Loved the chat at the end! I have found as women our voices def change as we get older - and not vocal cord issues, just we don’t feel the need to present a certain way anymore. ❤
I’m on 79 read this year, last year was 100. But my kids are grown and I’m retired so that makes a difference. I can ‘t do audio books I loose my train and miss too much of the book. I tried a couple times and just doesn’t work for me. Glad you are going to make your goal. I have the Oasis. Love,love it. Proud of you !!
Rewatching this video - because you're an Earth Angel and always turn my days around and for that I thank you - but I was literally hunching down, in my tilted down mirror, feeling so much discomfort and thinking "there is absolutely nothing I can do about this" as you started saying "...why do I tilt my mirror down..." ahhh!! Day made. Thank you for being you!
I am always amazed at how critical people can be on TH-cam. We only see snapshots of your lives which you really don't need to share. Gigi seems like a very happy little girl & you & Tyler are great parents. I've been loving the vlogmas videos.
The timing of this video is perfect. I'm at a point in my life where I am a teacher part-time while having a separate full-time job. I was beating myself up about not being able to juggle both. Teaching is a difficult enough job on its own, so hearing you talk about choosing one career path instead of two makes me feel so much better. Love you, Jess!!
Love that you addressed eating with kids. Not that you needed to! My kids are teenagers and I’ve always been a stickler for family dinner time but that means we eat at 5 PM most days, ha ha! Now with high school sports kids are hungry again at 9 PM. It all works out. You are doing amazing!
I really like that you promote educational learning skills to give Gigi a skillset, & skillshare will be invaluable to her when she is much grown & older. I agree with the comment about having your kiddos best interests & @ heart lovingly. the other day, my mom said she’s done parenting & grandparenting, but truth be told, you never stop parenting even when your kids are grown. there’s always something for the kids to learn that they can’t get from social media
Hey, Jessica. You ARE intelligent and wise! I really enjoy your "advice" videos and contents, like things I learnt ..., things I wish I ..., I have watched them several times! Your advice and insights are really valuable and helpful to me!! So thank you,,my fav TH-camr!!!! xx 🥰
We traveled the week of the 12th this year to spend time with out of state family. We have gone the week of Christmas before and between the airports being INsanely crowded and canceled flights, we decided to do our out of state celebration earlier in the month every year. Works out nicely for us. Oh and that Maybelline lipstick is my very favorite formula as well, and even outperforms my Charlotte Tilbury. Born With It is my go to shade...nice color dupe for CT Pillow Talk.
Hi Jess, I am a recent subscriber and have been enjoying your channel. Love your energy 😊
I have a 12 and 9 yr old at home and still no two nights are the same. It is clear that You and Tyler are great parents … I know it’s difficult not to take some things personal especially when it’s SO personally has to do with your family. Let it roll off your shoulders, you’re great! Thank you for sharing.
Happy New Year! I look forward to your vlogs/videos, etc.
Love these hodgepodge types of videos ❤️
My family doesn’t celebrate Christmas but growing up we always went on a big trip. I’m so grateful we did that because then I didn’t feel left out doing nothing while so many of my friends were celebrating xmas. Now that I’ve moved away I come visit my family in MI but in the future I’d love to pick back up that tradition of traveling during this time on my own or with friends/family :)
to each parenting adventure their own! you just do the best you can & hope for the best & you doing you & whats best for your family is a-ok!
I agree. I wasn’t ever a big reader either but I recently got a kindle and I have read so many books on there since I’ve gotten it.
Love these long vlogs 🥰 happy New Year to you and the fam!!!
It was interesting hearing your thoughts on how you used to think about makeup because I had basically the opposite experience. My dad didn’t like makeup, my mother didn’t wear makeup, and so I didn’t learn anything about makeup until I was into my 20s and then because I wanted a way to express myself. I think my relationship with makeup is very healthy because of that, but I almost feel a little ashamed about wearing a full face of makeup around my parents, even though I love how I look with makeup. It’s really hard to find a middle ground.
Love your random vlogs!! Happy I saw the notification come through :)
Watched yours and Tyler’s wedding video just beautiful ❤ beautiful memories
Almost 45 mins with Jessica?? Yessss!
I missed this type of tutorial (seeing/ reviewing during applying makeup). I'm hoping to see this more in the future, please. Thanks.
Eating together as a family is hard! I'd say we became super regular at all eating together when "forced to" while my family lived with my parents for two years when my older 3 (of 4) kids were 5, 3, and 2 years old.
I think the biggest benefit for us (other than the obvious family time) was learning to eat what was served to everyone. I was an incredibly picky kid, probably all the way till college, and I remember being really embarrassed about it when I would go to friends houses and unfamiliar restaurants. I really wanted my kids to learn how to be flexible with foods so they didn't have that same experience.
Re: family dinner. I don’t think my family ever ate dinner together! There were four of us kids in different activities and different school levels - we just weren’t home at the same time. It’s also healthier to let kids eat when they’re hungry than to force them to eat early or wait too long. Mom always made a good dinner and we ate our plate when we got home!
You're such an amazing Momma Jess. It was nice to hear your parenting styles. ALSO - When you were folding clothes and your hair was only partially on your shoulders, it gave a glimpse of what your hair would look like short.....and I LOVED it (not that I don't love your hair as is!)......just my thoughts!!💕💛
also family dinners fosters interpersonal relations communication skills. Communications is a sure thing college degree, in this day & age probably geared towards social media, but good ol fashioned HR & PR lends to the Communications field as well
This is one of the best personable shows you've done!
Great seeing you stand by your voice ❤
Our dinners look different lately too. 3 kids under 5, one who uses a feeding tube. So usually it's our oldest with one parent eating together and then the other parent switches out. Occasionally if the baby is content we can have both parents together eating. It's just a phase, not forever 🙂 I'm with you in Camp Don't-Sweat-The-Small-Stuff.
Ah you answered my question! Thank you and love you and Tyler and vlogmas!
Happy New Year Jessica. I hear that the JOAH SERUM CONCEALER is good....
Brady did an excellent job on y’all’s basement ❤
Jess… you and Tyler are doing amazing with both girls! ❤ keep up the great work
Absolutely love Pinocchio napping in the background at the end 🤣💗
I keep trying to figure out how long I have been watching. When you say 10 years I am shocked but then I know I watched when you still lived with your parents. Time does really fly.
Love you and your channel! You are so inspiring. You’re doing an amazing job! ❤
i feel spoiled to get a vlog during vlogmas lol also the video quality of this looks amazing btw!
Yes!! Love! 🤍🫶🏻 happy 2023!
Happy New Year, Jess and fam! That hot pink is 🔥🔥🔥🔥on you.💕
We have a very similar skintone (I may be slightly lighter) and I bought the Revolution bronzer on your recommendation. I use a looser bristle brush and I can go ham with it. I actually usually go in a few times to build up the intensity, but I prefer that because, like you said, I don’t have to think about it.
So, it took me 3 days to watch this because, well, life. I must admit I have been judgy in the past about your dinner routine - then I checked myself and realized we don't see everything. It's obvious how much you both love her. Plus, seeing her at with you while eating out in public clearly demonstrates she knows how to behave. Keep upthe good work.
You eye lashes look amazing!!! Love your videos 😊😊😊❤️❤️❤️
Watching vlogmas I'm so impressed with how productive you guys are and how much you get done with 2 (!!!) kids👏👏👏 plus on top of all the editing Tyler is working and you are filming, etc, I'm in awe of you! Enjoy your chats about anything, you bring such a bright positive energy❤️
I do enjoy these vlog/chit-chat videos!
I think the catrice shade 010 will work for you. We are similar skin tones and it works good for me. More of a neutral tone.
Ps love this time of year and vlogmas! Really enjoying it.
You always motivate me to get up and put some makeup on ! ❤
I’m sooooo glad I’m not the only one that finds every foundation, bb cream, etc. too yellow, yet I struggle to find brow products that aren’t too warm!! I like the gimme brow products in shade 3.
I’m a long time watcher but rarely comment, however I must say I’ve been enjoying Vlogmas so much, I’ll be sad when it’s over!
I have 3 kids and there’s rarely a family dinner. It’s not that I don’t want to (I don’t have strong feelings either way) but we are a busy family. My kids are in school and there are activities and homework. I have a child with autism that has a specific diet and she likes to eat early. Those are just a few examples. We spend so much time together daily that I don’t feel like we miss anything by not eating together. I still find plenty of time to talk to my kids and be very involved in their lives. I think people’s opinions of TH-camrs vary depending on if they are a part of that world. People who watch TH-cam a lot probably wouldn’t blink an eye at that being someone’s job while people that don’t know much about it may judge it differently. I’m really enjoying vlogmas again this year. I will miss it when it’s over. You guys do the best vlogs of all the people I watch.
Love this close up style vanity get ready!! 👏💜
Based on your recommendation I bought the same exact pink shirt. At first I wasn't sure if I liked the neckline because it was a bit not uniform. But then when I put it on, I don't know what happened, but it went inward it folded inward on itself to the point where it looks like I'm wearing a mock turtleneck. I didn't plan for this. I love it! And I love this shirt. Pink.
I love that coffee mug!
I love these types of videos! Love you so much
Please make more videos like this! Love the long vlogs ❤
LOL when you mentioned your “first day of school 6th grade outfit” I looked down at my own outfit and said YUP I’m back there too 😅
Color sensational in warm me up & romantic rose are my HG's!! Can't even count how many of those I've been through
We have waited, and still are waiting on social media for our kids. My oldest daughter is in high school and still not any. Best decision ever. Hold off as long as possible.
We traveled this holiday season! It was our (my husband, dog & i’s) first time being away for Christmas from family but it was so much fun!! We went to lake placid, ny🥰
