You are so brave to share this, how heart breaking to see the mess left for you! And the kids know their dad did that, such a sad thing. You did the right thing. No question about that, you are a hero!!!!
Oh Jocelyn, I can’t believe anyone could leave you with such a horrible mess such as this😳😢😤. I’m so sorry. You and Andrew are so strong to have risen above it all and you are an inspiration to many. 💪🏻
I hope everyone who has ever criticized you about your nail polish is watching this!! This is real life folks. The people who comment about your hair and nails let them see what a real woman who faces life's challenges does with no complaints. Love the pictures of your son at the end. Him walking in the woods with his back to us is so beautiful. I think you need to blow that up and frame it!❤ I love it. Your dad at the end with the refrigerator all clean was fantastic. I had a horrible ex who took everything I had,plus got his girlfriend pregnant while we were married and I wanted another baby so bad. So happy you found a great partner,gives me hope.❤
Oh my goodness! Who, I mean WHO! in the world would make negative comments about Jocelyn's hair OR her nails. For heaven's sake. Personally, I think she is a lovely, long limbed, lively spirit with a smile that can light up a room. And, yeah, I happen to like her hairstyles. They always look short and hip with an extra bit of pixie punk; just like her . . . well, except for being short. LOL Yes, she's a Mommy to two (soon to be three) well behaved and very sweet kids, a hardworking entrepreneur who takes the time to share her knowledge with the viewing public, AND she's the perfect match for her beloved Andrew. She could wear dung colored nail polish as far as I'm concerned and would still qualify as one of the most delightful people on the internet. And Deborah, I'm sending you a pretty basket of good thoughts and hope filled prayers for a spectacular life ahead. May it start today. Amen PEACE
I am so amazed that not once did you say anything negative about your ex for doing that to your home. There is no way I could have filmed that without saying something. Kuddos to you young lady
Your X did a HELL of a job destroying the house and you guys did a Hell of a job turning it back into a home.After seeing this I know the 4 of you can take on just about anything.
1. What a testament to your upbringing! Your parents are adorable, your desire to not let them go it alone, beautiful! 2. You have blossomed after leaving the trauma you were in. 3. You deserve the beautiful life you have created for you and your kiddos!
I love that you chose to share this. YOU and who you are shine through in all your videos. That is a crazy thing but no kidding, You reveal who you are through what items you choose on camera in Goodwill stores and antique stores. Your choices are always with the nod to re-sale but your decisions do reveal in your tastes... who you are. This airing is even more personal. It shows life problems where you make Lemonade out of lemons and how you solve problems to your benefit and how your current relationship has given you a true partner. Just good things and blessings for you and yours.
Focus on the good memories - those with the kids and that beautiful view! Your parents seem like awesome people! We all have 'real lives' that we share with only a few. Thank you for sharing this with your TH-cam family. I don't think I need to tell you as you have 232K subscribers, we are all wishing you loads of happiness, love and laughter. We are not here to judge - but to support you both!
OMG! You have had quite a year, haven’t you? Thanks for sharing your “behind-the-scenes” life. Perhaps that will get some of the trollers to think twice before they criticize you for anything! I’m glad you now get to work on a project for your family-Home, Sweet Home. I’m a big fan, Jocelyn, not just of the shopping, but of the dedication and determination you have shown in building a business and raising your family. Always know that I, for one, admire your calm, graceful persona, and the way you share your knowledge with your viewers. You are the BEST!
I'm SO glad you found Drew. He seems to be the real deal, one to "ride the river with" as my mom would have said. A man who treats you the way you are supposed to be treated, who does the right thing even when the right thing is cleaning up the mess left by another, that is a real man. Funnily enough, I was actually holding my nose when you all were working on the fridge until I realized I was doing it.
No one who is ok leaves a house like that unless there is drug or alcohol addiction or severe mental illness. Girl you are doing well to come out the other side of whatever went on there. Blessings ❤️
Cleaning, fixing and letting go of the past. It makes their first home alright again for your children too. And a nice asset at the end of it. Bravo Jocelyn. 💚🌿
I like how, after all that house nastiness, Andrew had the sense of humor to joke with you about locking you out of the car! He wanted to make you laugh! What a great guy. I wish God's best for you and your sweet family.
I think he was actually being serious, but he couldn't just leave her there...I hope he made her take her shoes off, because she was probably stepping in that yuk coming out of that fridge, it had to of leaked. Mine did when we got our new fridge but ours didn't have yuk in it...Love Her spunk .
Some people learn from their mistakes in life. You are one of those people. I have watched you for years now and have seen how much you have grown in your business and in your life. You don't know me at all, but I felt the need to let you know I am proud of you! Always Remember You are Braver than you believe - Stronger than you seem & Smarter thank you think! Keep on shining you crazy diamond!!
Good riddance to bad rubbish! In every possible way. Emotional I’m sure, but the future looks bright and as I always told my kids, everything you do is a brick in the building you become. You are a great builder.
I'm so sorry he was a such a jerk to leave a home in that condition. And let you guys clean it up. From seeing the video you posted on the much improved condition after renovation is amazing. A true before and after.
Oh Joce, I watched your other house video last night and now this one. Tears flooded my eyes at the end, pictures and video of your life then, the kids, the house, your dreams and hopes. May this heal your hurt and help to reframe the past. Thank you for letting us in. ❤️❤️❤️
You two are so much fun and you are lucky to have each other. And your parents are cool. And brave. I'm glad you showed the renovations first, knowing that things get better. All the best!
You were smart to leave this jerk! And fortunate to find someone worth keeping. Take it one day at a time...I speak from experience. Love your videos!!
You’re amazing Jocelyn! That’s such a beautiful spot. I love the land and scenery around it. I’m glad you’re bringing us along on this journey to breathe new life back into the house. That last pic of your son walking into the misty woods is so awesome! Totally frame worthy!
You are an incredible inspiration. Dealing with all of that and starting a business. Making your way and making a better life for your life for yourself and your children. All of you are in a much better place now, physically and emotionally. Thank you for sharing and trusting us with your story. And by the way your parents are adorable
You were already my hero, now I have to find you a better name! I don’t even personally know you, but can say I am so proud of you! You set a great example for girls and women everywhere! All the good you do will come back around! God bless!
I dont envy you. I've helped my dad clean out a few rentals that were left in horrible condition and it was no fun so I know that wasn't either. Nice work!
Your parents are awesome at gitn' er done! I went in houses like that as a social worker and I know the stench! You are an amazing woman with all you accomplish as well as having to deal with BS you didn't cause!
Thank you Jocelyn, for showing us your grit and loving family dynamics! You are so resilient and great at humorous nomenclature "The Ham House." Your parents are so brave and loving. Andrew's gagging in the car at just the thought of the house was hilarious, (your gagging was very justified) and he showed his great love for you by sharing this horror. What a sub-human you no longer have to deal with. That mess is indicative of a whole hist of things you are better to be far away from. We love you and your family, Jocelyn!
You and Andrew are two very special people. Love that you share the ups and downs. Blessings for your new beginnings in your new beautiful home and especially this little baby girl coming soon ✨❤️✨❤️✨
What a great mom and dad. This is what I call helping your children when in need. Stepping up above and beyond. No complaints just jump in and get the job done. Whether they kept it or not still needed to come out of house the start to getting rid of. Good team work
I have been in a very similar situation with my brother and his wife taking over the payments on a home that still had my name on it. I found out they weren't making payments from the loan company and went over to investigate and found the place trashed, the heat on full blast, and all the lights on. There were "friends" of theirs squatting there but my brother and his wife were long gone. I asked the squatters to please leave and when they refused, I called the police. There was nothing they could do. I had to have them legally removed which took some time. When all that was over I went back to the house and someone had taken the very expensive fridge and left all the contents of the fridge and freezer piled up in the middle of the dining room floor. Never trust anyone...even family.
i watched this last year & forgot to hit the like button… so I just rewatched it. I can’t understand how someone could leave their property in this state…. My heart breaks for you, cause you are such a sweetheart!
How heartbreaking for you seeing your old house in such a state but you know how much better your life is now and that must be a comfort and a joy Thank you for sharing - proud of you
An honest video about how life can be messy, but look how far you have come my dear girl an it can only get better for you all . Take care an all the best always xx
The most important cleaning is the drip pan under the fridge. It collects the condensation from the refrigerator and its tubes and pan must be cleaned, or else there is a funky smell.
I can so relate to cleaning out a disgusting fridge. My ex had a old fridge in the shop, for beer and drinks. When he moved out, he moved a turkey from the garage freezer into the shop fridge, without me knowing it. After a few months, I was in the shop and I opened that fridge and discovered it had stopped working, and the turkey had turned to sludge. It about knocked me over. Looks like your folks did a good job getting it back to working order.
This is the second video about the house. The first one was 5 days ago. It is good w design plans and renovations. I think she mentioned back when they were going through this last year she wasn’t sure what or how much she would share. She is a strong woman
Wow! Your parents are miracle workers to get that refrig in usable condition again! You guys are not only amazing at your business but also in dealing with difficult situations.
Jocelyn, you have nothing to be embarrassed about. It wasn’t your doing. But once again you are the person to step up and take matters into your own hands and get things done with the help of your fantastic partner Andrew. The two of you are made for each other. Love how no matter the situation, you remain positive and upbeat. I’m so very proud of you!
I can see why you fell in love with that view. Even though it will be a tremendous amount of work, at some point the bad memories will be in the past! Blessings to you & your entire family!!
Wow, I loved the way your parents just dug right in. I can see where you get your work ethic from. This entire situation is just so sad for you. Your ex is a real piece of work, I am sorry your kids have to see how their father left things for you. I am incredibly impressed with your resolve to tackle this issue, I don't know if I could do the same. I am proud of you all!
I'm so thankful you showed us the after pictures first. What you guys have done to that disaster is absolutely amazing! I've always admired you and Drew for all you do, but now you're my SHERO! Your strength and perseverance is off the charts! 💙
I love the fact that you can laugh in the middle of disaster. And the photos and the video of your baby, showing the good times there, is everything. Remembering the good, always makes your life better. I look at it this way. It's just dirt and garbage and yeah it's a lot of dirt and garbage, but it's just cleaning and repairing. You should not have had to do it, but you did and look at the beautiful home you have restored. I can see how attached you are to it. So I think you keeping it and renting it out would be a great idea. Thank you for sharing it all with us. Blessings to you all.
Sharing that took a lot of guts. Many of us have our own divorce nightmare divorce stories, only we’ve never shared them with strangers, nor did we video them. So kudos to you for being courageous, and I’d love to see the house cleanup. No judgment here.
What a mess. I just wanted to thank you for the memories of the house before, when the kids were little. A house is only a house, memories are what we keep from the years gone by.; However only we can make a house a home. Home is really making new memories and living with love. You got this girl. Thank you for sharing.
I was married for 37 years. The home I loved and cared for went up for sale this week. How melancholy to watch your home movies at the end. My broken heart feels for you..
You saved that house because you are very wise and know it can be a good source of income for you and your family! You are an amazing and resourceful woman who is a great role model for us all! Thank you for sharing such a personal issue with us. God bless you.
I am so glad you showed the renovations before this one…I was nearly in tears of sympathy…it makes me think of the hoarder house. Thank you for sharing your lives with us…it is reality of life…not all of life is rosy. BUT, with that being said, you have an amazing, positive and cheery disposition! It is something I love about you…and P.S. Your parents are adorable and very brave indeed!!
Just another chapter, new cherished memories in the making. The crap you dealt with made you a stronger more confident woman/mother♥️ Your children will be amazing adults because of you!
To see what you started with to where you are now...... is amazing! It also shows your determination and hard work! Thank you for sharing this journey with us!
You get the bravery prize. I had to bail out after you posted the disclaimer. You have strength, wisdom and a sense of humor. Blessings and good wishes!
Thank you Jocelyn for sharing your real life issues with us. This was a very moving video despite the ham and the smell. It shows us a peek into your earlier years and that your a real woman and mother that has to face problems just like the rest of us. I could truly sense your emotions when you showed us the view from your house and the pictures and video of your babies in that home when it was a home. Beautiful view. I'm sure it's not easy to look back on all this. Your an amazing woman with an ever positive outlook even during these real life situations. You inspire me so much!
I am from PA, I live in MD now, actually ran into you and Andrew in Frederick. My whole family still lives in PA and I still call it home. Pennsylvanians are my favorite people, hard working, honest, independent and love a good view !!
Tough thing to see, tough thing for you to live through but look where you are now! Two great kids, one on the way, a great man, a great business, and you've kept your sweetness through it all. That house will be someone's beautiful home someday and it'll be yet another thing you can be proud of. You go girl!!
That last picture of Ashton is absolutely AMAZING! I hope you have that in a frame. You have done a great job with the house. I don't think I would have been able to do it. I love watching all your videos, even the gross ones!
Omg…You poor girl…It’s amazing property and the view is spectacular! That must have been very overwhelming and emotional but you all did a great job at the ham house!👍🏼
It amazes me how horrid some people can be, just because. My in-laws owned rentals and I’ve helped clean rotten refrigerators more than once, along with a house full of garbage. The smell. 😖 I look forward to future videos and see it restored to a home to be loved by someone, to make their own happy memories. I’m glad you purchased your own beautiful house for your future together. 🌈
You were very brave to show this video. I have so much respect for you. The last couple years I have watched less and less TV because I am so sick of lies and fake people. I enjoy your videos because you are real, you've had real struggles, and those struggles have made you a very strong woman. Your children are beautiful and your love for them shows every time you talk with them. God has granted you a new blessing to arrive soon. She will be a blessed little girl. I so appreciate "realness". Thank you.
Did anyone else have to go back and rewatch the video where Jocelyn shows the house now? Unbelievable how much work they’ve done. I hope they show it all finished. They are rockstars.
Wow im just finding these videos as im only a couple months into your channel. I must say i cant get enough! Back to this what kind of person could do this to the mother of their children really says alot about them. You having left the home with them when it shouldve been him doing that again says alot about him. Love the outcome you taking back whats yours and making a wonderful new life for your kids AND a new sister! You deserve all the good things Jocelyn.
Stunning view and I'm glad your parents were able to salvage the fridge. Feel bad for your family to have to deal with that mess. You have so much on your plate that I can't even imagine having to deal with the mess left behind.
Your dad and mom were determined to make that fridge work. I bet your parents modeled hard work ethics and a can do attitude when you were growing up. They must be so proud of you.
I had to look up this video because I had a feeling what the back story may have been from the 2nd video. I went through a similar situation with my ex. Took me years to deal with everything and get everything cleaned up, finally sold the house! Moved on, remarried now and so glad everything is past me..it will be one day for you as well. Hugs and prayers for you and yours XO XO
I totally think you're my hero. Extremely brave to share with us thank you. I will probably have to go through this one day too. Glad to know other normal folks have these things happen to them.
OMGosh! Temper-ware Fire flower!!! Bought my Mom the whole set back in the late 70's because she loved it so much. It is beautiful. You two are amazing together. So nice to see and hear respect (and the teasing) for each other. Glad I saw the remodel video first - it wasn't such a shock because I knew what the house had become!
Oh my goodness, Jocelyn!!! What a nightmare!! I’m sorry you had to go through all of that. But,true to your style, you made lemonade out of those lemons. You were so smart to take over and redo the house!! So smart and savvy!
Oh Jocelyn, I feel so bad for you. My ex was an absolute slob...he destroyed my house too. .I got him tossed out before he burnt it down. I'm so sorry you have to deal with this. You are so strong. Will keep you in my prayers
Wow! Jocelyn, you, Drew and your parents are troopers!!! I am sure it is heartbreaking to see the house that holds memories for you and the kiddos left in such ruins!! I am thankful you and the kids have moved on to bigger and better things!! I wish you all nothing but happiness in the future!!
Your video brought me to tears. So very sorry that this dream house/view turned into such a garbage pit. It’s criminal. The good thing is, you have a good man that loves you and a wonderful family to help and support you. You are like the little engine that could. Onward and upward, I wish you, Andrew and your family many blessings and may all your other dreams come true.
Thanks for showing us what you had to deal with. I’ve never understood why people feel like they need to trash their home. I’m glad that you have possession of it and can show it some love. 🥰
Just don't have words for it. And then the bittersweet pictures at the end of your happy memories in the home, then to see how it was left in neglect & filth. So sorry, J.
Once again you shared another side of your life.But,you know what your positive attitude will get you thru all of this.At least your laughing with Andrew by your side and that's what matters most.Love the video of Ashton awww the simple pleasures of life.Your such a great mom doing what you do best.THANKS for sharing.Bless all of you and your family 😊🙏
Praying for you Jocelyn. Glad you are now in a loving relationship. Family by your side and you can do spirit. You’re going to come out on top. Thank you for all you share with us. Keeping you and your family in my continued thoughts and prayers💜🙏🏻💜
Thanks for sharing. It's crazy what messes some of our exes (mine included) leave us with. Thank goodness you and Andrew found each other, you two give me hope. ❤️🙏
Thank goodness that was before you were pregnant!! You've done so much that we saw in the earlier video. I don't know where your energy comes from. Loved seeing the kiddos as babies!!
Oh boy, what a mess. We are all too familiar with dealing with bad food in refrigerators down here on the Gulf Coast of Louisiana. Never know what to expect when returning home from a hurricane evacuation. The #1 worst is always opening the fridge. Coming in at close second is keeping our eyes wide open for snakes and gators that may be hiding under all of the yard debris. Just this past September, I remember being so relieved once the fridge was cleaned out and disinfected. Trash also piles up for days on the street, so can relate to the mess on the porch. It can get really dangerous with all the flies, etc. We got lots of use from our Covid masks also. I saw the video of the renovations, and am very impressed. Amazing that yall accomplished this along with the successful business yall run. Not to mention buying a new house too! Good job to all of you.
You and Andrew are heros. You are saving the kids memories. They will thank you when they are older. I'm so glad your kids don't have to live with your ex. Thank God they have you and Andrew.
You are so incredibly brave, and strong stomached. I would have tossed my cookies. Thank you for trusting us enough to share some of your life outside of reselling. You guys are some of the hardest working people I know.
You are so brave to share this, how heart breaking to see the mess left for you! And the kids know their dad did that, such a sad thing. You did the right thing. No question about that, you are a hero!!!!
Oh Jocelyn, I can’t believe anyone could leave you with such a horrible mess such as this😳😢😤. I’m so sorry. You and Andrew are so strong to have risen above it all and you are an inspiration to many. 💪🏻

Yes . Agreed. Was thinking the same. Guess he either had drug addiction or mental probs.
You don't have to SAY anything nasty about the X the video says it all! I suppose that's why the video was posted.
Your X did a HELL of a job destroying the house and you guys did a Hell of a job turning it back into a home.After seeing this I know the 4 of you can take on just about anything.
Absolutely and with Walter and the new baby, they will have a beautiful family of 6.

Andrew's gagging in the car at just the thought of the house was hilarious, (your gagging was very justified) and he showed his great love for you by sharing this horror. What a sub-human you no longer have to deal with. That mess is indicative of a whole hist of things you are better to be far away from. We love you and your family, Jocelyn!
I had a similar experience, I just sat & cried, being so overwhelmed at the mess & loss. 😢
You and Andrew are two very special people. Love that you share the ups and downs. Blessings for your new beginnings in your new beautiful home and especially this little baby girl coming soon ✨❤️✨❤️✨
What a great mom and dad. This is what I call helping your children when in need. Stepping up above and beyond. No complaints just jump in and get the job done. Whether they kept it or not still needed to come out of house the start to getting rid of. Good team work
I have been in a very similar situation with my brother and his wife taking over the payments on a home that still had my name on it. I found out they weren't making payments from the loan company and went over to investigate and found the place trashed, the heat on full blast, and all the lights on. There were "friends" of theirs squatting there but my brother and his wife were long gone. I asked the squatters to please leave and when they refused, I called the police. There was nothing they could do. I had to have them legally removed which took some time. When all that was over I went back to the house and someone had taken the very expensive fridge and left all the contents of the fridge and freezer piled up in the middle of the dining room floor. Never trust anyone...even family.
i watched this last year & forgot to hit the like button… so I just rewatched it. I can’t understand how someone could leave their property in this state…. My heart breaks for you, cause you are such a sweetheart!
Thank you for sharing the good, the bad, and the smelly of your life. I admire your honesty and appreciate you taking us along on the journey.
How heartbreaking for you seeing your old house in such a state but you know how much better your life is now and that must be a comfort and a joy
Thank you for sharing - proud of you
Mom's are so great aren't they. I'm impressed with her let's just get it done attitude.
An honest video about how life can be messy, but look how far you have come my dear girl an it can only get better for you all . Take care an all the best always xx
What a sweetheart Andrew is….and you are an angel. You are a wonderful example for your kids.
The most important cleaning is the drip pan under the fridge. It collects the condensation from the refrigerator and its tubes and pan must be cleaned, or else there is a funky smell.
I can so relate to cleaning out a disgusting fridge. My ex had a old fridge in the shop, for beer and drinks. When he moved out, he moved a turkey from the garage freezer into the shop fridge, without me knowing it. After a few months, I was in the shop and I opened that fridge and discovered it had stopped working, and the turkey had turned to sludge. It about knocked me over.
Looks like your folks did a good job getting it back to working order.
I found myself holding my nose as I watched this! Sorry!
@@robertabryant1092 So did I. I was so glad when Jocelyn's mom brought out that Pine Sol for us to sniff. I seriously think I could smell it.
This is the second video about the house. The first one was 5 days ago. It is good w design plans and renovations. I think she mentioned back when they were going through this last year she wasn’t sure what or how much she would share. She is a strong woman
Wow! Your parents are miracle workers to get that refrig in usable condition again! You guys are not only amazing at your business but also in dealing with difficult situations.
Jocelyn, you have nothing to be embarrassed about. It wasn’t your doing. But once again you are the person to step up and take matters into your own hands and get things done with the help of your fantastic partner Andrew. The two of you are made for each other. Love how no matter the situation, you remain positive and upbeat. I’m so very proud of you!
Seems like there are a wealth of memories in that house. Thank you for sharing them with us. ❤️
I can see why you fell in love with that view. Even though it will be a tremendous amount of work, at some point the bad memories will be in the past! Blessings to you & your entire family!!
Wow, I loved the way your parents just dug right in. I can see where you get your work ethic from. This entire situation is just so sad for you. Your ex is a real piece of work, I am sorry your kids have to see how their father left things for you. I am incredibly impressed with your resolve to tackle this issue, I don't know if I could do the same. I am proud of you all!
I'm so thankful you showed us the after pictures first. What you guys have done to that disaster is absolutely amazing! I've always admired you and Drew for all you do, but now you're my SHERO! Your strength and perseverance is off the charts! 💙
I love the fact that you can laugh in the middle of disaster. And the photos and the video of your baby, showing the good times there, is everything. Remembering the good, always makes your life better. I look at it this way. It's just dirt and garbage and yeah it's a lot of dirt and garbage, but it's just cleaning and repairing. You should not have had to do it, but you did and look at the beautiful home you have restored. I can see how attached you are to it. So I think you keeping it and renting it out would be a great idea. Thank you for sharing it all with us. Blessings to you all.
Sharing that took a lot of guts. Many of us have our own divorce nightmare divorce stories, only we’ve never shared them with strangers, nor did we video them. So kudos to you for being courageous, and I’d love to see the house cleanup. No judgment here.
What a mess. I just wanted to thank you for the memories of the house before, when the kids were little. A house is only a house, memories are what we keep from the years gone by.; However only we can make a house a home. Home is really making new memories and living with love. You got this girl. Thank you for sharing.
I was married for 37 years. The home I loved and cared for went up for sale this week. How melancholy to watch your home movies at the end. My broken heart feels for you..
You saved that house because you are very wise and know it can be a good source of income for you and your family! You are an amazing and resourceful woman who is a great role model for us all! Thank you for sharing such a personal issue with us. God bless you.
I am so glad you showed the renovations before this one…I was nearly in tears of sympathy…it makes me think of the hoarder house. Thank you for sharing your lives with us…it is reality of life…not all of life is rosy. BUT, with that being said, you have an amazing, positive and cheery disposition! It is something I love about you…and P.S. Your parents are adorable and very brave indeed!!
You are so brave! Hard working does not even start to describe the two of you! All the best!❤️❤️
Just another chapter, new cherished memories in the making. The crap you dealt with made you a stronger more confident woman/mother♥️ Your children will be amazing adults because of you!
Life’s obstacles make us stronger … great of you to share the process… never be embarrassed… loved the happy memories
Oh, my! That’s so heartbreaking. You’re such an amazing and gracious lady. I totally missed this video.
Beautiful house that looks like it housed many beautiful memories! Your tapes of them young..invaluable. The views are breathtaking!
To see what you started with to where you are now...... is amazing! It also shows your determination and hard work! Thank you for sharing this journey with us!
You get the bravery prize. I had to bail out after you posted the disclaimer. You have strength, wisdom and a sense of humor. Blessings and good wishes!
Thank you Jocelyn for sharing your real life issues with us. This was a very moving video despite the ham and the smell. It shows us a peek into your earlier years and that your a real woman and mother that has to face problems just like the rest of us. I could truly sense your emotions when you showed us the view from your house and the pictures and video of your babies in that home when it was a home. Beautiful view. I'm sure it's not easy to look back on all this. Your an amazing woman with an ever positive outlook even during these real life situations. You inspire me so much!
I am from PA, I live in MD now, actually ran into you and Andrew in Frederick. My whole family still lives in PA and I still call it home. Pennsylvanians are my favorite people, hard working, honest, independent and love a good view !!
Tough thing to see, tough thing for you to live through but look where you are now! Two great kids, one on the way, a great man, a great business, and you've kept your sweetness through it all. That house will be someone's beautiful home someday and it'll be yet another thing you can be proud of. You go girl!!
That last picture of Ashton is absolutely AMAZING! I hope you have that in a frame. You have done a great job with the house. I don't think I would have been able to do it. I love watching all your videos, even the gross ones!
Omg…You poor girl…It’s amazing property and the view is spectacular! That must have been very overwhelming and emotional but you all did a great job at the ham house!👍🏼
It amazes me how horrid some people can be, just because. My in-laws owned rentals and I’ve helped clean rotten refrigerators more than once, along with a house full of garbage. The smell. 😖
I look forward to future videos and see it restored to a home to be loved by someone, to make their own happy memories.
I’m glad you purchased your own beautiful house for your future together. 🌈
Thank you for sharing your personal stories. It reaches people on a deeper level than you realize. Much respect for you and your family.
You were very brave to show this video. I have so much respect for you. The last couple years I have watched less and less TV because I am so sick of lies and fake people. I enjoy your videos because you are real, you've had real struggles, and those struggles have made you a very strong woman. Your children are beautiful and your love for them shows every time you talk with them. God has granted you a new blessing to arrive soon. She will be a blessed little girl. I so appreciate "realness". Thank you.
What GREAT parents you have!! And Andrew is always there for you. Praying for you and this beautiful house with so many good memories.
Did anyone else have to go back and rewatch the video where Jocelyn shows the house now? Unbelievable how much work they’ve done. I hope they show it all finished. They are rockstars.
The ham house and the hoarder house all done last summer! You have more super powers than you know!!!
Wow im just finding these videos as im only a couple months into your channel. I must say i cant get enough! Back to this what kind of person could do this to the mother of their children really says alot about them. You having left the home with them when it shouldve been him doing that again says alot about him. Love the outcome you taking back whats yours and making a wonderful new life for your kids AND a new sister! You deserve all the good things Jocelyn.
Stunning view and I'm glad your parents were able to salvage the fridge.
Feel bad for your family to have to deal with that mess. You have so much on your plate that I can't even imagine having to deal with the mess left behind.
Your dad and mom were determined to make that fridge work. I bet your parents modeled hard work ethics and a can do attitude when you were growing up. They must be so proud of you.
I had to look up this video because I had a feeling what the back story may have been from the 2nd video. I went through a similar situation with my ex. Took me years to deal with everything and get everything cleaned up, finally sold the house! Moved on, remarried now and so glad everything is past me..it will be one day for you as well. Hugs and prayers for you and yours XO XO
I appreciate how you found the beautiful flowers in the midst of sad memories and neglect. Good girl
I totally think you're my hero. Extremely brave to share with us thank you. I will probably have to go through this one day too. Glad to know other normal folks have these things happen to them.
OMGosh! Temper-ware Fire flower!!! Bought my Mom the whole set back in the late 70's because she loved it so much. It is beautiful. You two are amazing together. So nice to see and hear respect (and the teasing) for each other. Glad I saw the remodel video first - it wasn't such a shock because I knew what the house had become!
Oh my goodness, Jocelyn!!! What a nightmare!! I’m sorry you had to go through all of that. But,true to your style, you made lemonade out of those lemons. You were so smart to take over and redo the house!! So smart and savvy!
Oh Jocelyn, I feel so bad for you. My ex was an absolute slob...he destroyed my house too. .I got him tossed out before he burnt it down. I'm so sorry you have to deal with this. You are so strong. Will keep you in my prayers
Wow! Jocelyn, you, Drew and your parents are troopers!!! I am sure it is heartbreaking to see the house that holds memories for you and the kiddos left in such ruins!! I am thankful you and the kids have moved on to bigger and better things!! I wish you all nothing but happiness in the future!!
I can't believe your mom did that in sandals...Kudos to her & your dad for that huge feat! And to you & Andrew!!!
Your video brought me to tears. So very sorry that this dream house/view turned into such a garbage pit. It’s criminal. The good thing is, you have a good man that loves you and a wonderful family to help and support you. You are like the little engine that could. Onward and upward, I wish you, Andrew and your family many blessings and may all your other dreams come true.
Thanks for showing us what you had to deal with. I’ve never understood why people feel like they need to trash their home. I’m glad that you have possession of it and can show it some love. 🥰
Just don't have words for it. And then the bittersweet pictures at the end of your happy memories in the home, then to see how it was left in neglect & filth. So sorry, J.
Man. It looks light years better now. Loving all the memories, a life well lived is never straight and narrow!
Once again you shared another side of your life.But,you know what your positive attitude will get you thru all of this.At least your laughing with Andrew by your side and that's what matters most.Love the video of Ashton awww the simple pleasures of life.Your such a great mom doing what you do best.THANKS for sharing.Bless all of you and your family 😊🙏
Praying for you Jocelyn. Glad you are now in a loving relationship. Family by your side and you can do spirit. You’re going to come out on top. Thank you for all you share with us. Keeping you and your family in my continued thoughts and prayers💜🙏🏻💜
Thanks for sharing. It's crazy what messes some of our exes (mine included) leave us with. Thank goodness you and Andrew found each other, you two give me hope. ❤️🙏
Thank goodness that was before you were pregnant!! You've done so much that we saw in the earlier video. I don't know where your energy comes from. Loved seeing the kiddos as babies!!
Geez Jocelyn - that was a huge mess! Great cleanup though!
Oh boy, what a mess. We are all too familiar with dealing with bad food in refrigerators down here on the Gulf Coast of Louisiana. Never know what to expect when returning home from a hurricane evacuation. The #1 worst is always opening the fridge. Coming in at close second is keeping our eyes wide open for snakes and gators that may be hiding under all of the yard debris. Just this past September, I remember being so relieved once the fridge was cleaned out and disinfected. Trash also piles up for days on the street, so can relate to the mess on the porch. It can get really dangerous with all the flies, etc. We got lots of use from our Covid masks also. I saw the video of the renovations, and am very impressed. Amazing that yall accomplished this along with the successful business yall run. Not to mention buying a new house too! Good job to all of you.
The house and land is really very pretty. I'm looking forward to to seeing the house all fixed up and back to looking great!
You and Andrew are heros. You are saving the kids memories. They will thank you when they are older. I'm so glad your kids don't have to live with your ex. Thank God they have you and Andrew.
You are so incredibly brave, and strong stomached. I would have tossed my cookies. Thank you for trusting us enough to share some of your life outside of reselling. You guys are some of the hardest working people I know.
