Bonnie! I’m hoping things eventually resolve themselves. A lot of your long term viewers know a bit about what’s happening and it’s genuinely so sad. I hope you and your family get to see all nieces and nephews together again one day. Some people are genuinely too far from saving- especially when they believe in, condone and promote hateful, bigot ideology. It’s unfair that you and your family have had to deal with this burden especially after seeing how much it’s effected all of you. Just remember that you are not responsible for their actions and no one blames you. Us viewers are all rooting for you and some of your sisters!
This is not to take away from how amazing ALL of your kids are and how many special qualities each of them have, but Boston is just too pure for this world. I just want to hug him every time he talks 🥰never lose that Boston!
Same, I love all the kids but something about Boston has me feeling like this little boy has a special place in my heart ❤️ maybe it’s because I am a mom to my own little boy and he reminds me of my son Oakley! He has a pure heart like Boston and that’s what makes him so special to me!!
Knowing the tensions between you all and Ruby and then hearing the remarks at church I pray you find some peace and get through this. I’m dealing with the same thing with my sister. Prayers to all
Bonnie, just know that we hear you. I’m glad there’s people in your life you can connect with over your struggles, that’s so important. You have a kind and open heart and with that, you can take on every challenge life throws at you and you can come out stronger and forgiving on the other side, without becoming bitter. Sending love, thank you for talking about your experience at church. ❤
Bonnie, thank you for sharing the beautiful message from church. It’s so good to know we aren’t alone in our sorrows and sadness. I hope whatever life is throwing at you this holiday season, that you and your family will be blessed beyond anything you can imagine. Btw, Boston seems to have such a caring heart, nurture that in him. I can see him being a serving type of person when he grows up.
Hurt in the family…I went through it in 2016 with my sister and I just thought we’d never see the light of day, we tried to be the bigger people but nothing was working. And at one point we just stop trying, we got tired of being sad and crying. 3 years later she came back on her own and our door was always open for her. So sometimes we just have to let it go because it does take a little bit for them to realize that they were wrong and that you were always there no matter what.
Every family has some sort of heartbreak, loss, anger or just disfunction. No one should feel alone and know that families aren’t perfect. Prayers to you all.
Bonnie you do not understand how much I needed to hear that, I’ve cried all day about the pain of my hurt relationship with my parents, I’ve watched you since I was 13 years old I now am 21 with 1 baby girl and a sweet baby coming 2023. You’re like the mom I never had, I laugh with you I cry with you. You’re amazing and if I can sense the sweet genuine person you are through a screen i know you’re family and kids are very lucky to have you. Thank you for being so amazing and sharing yourself and your beautiful with us❤️
Oh Bonnie, you are right! I’m going through this with my older sister, and you are right, my good friend is going through this with her sister and it definitely makes me feel less alone and supported as well as praying. It is very painful, yet with support it lessons the pain and I know I can solves myself and change what is going on. I can protect my heart but I know the Lord and Saviour is the only one who can fix this or find a way to resolve this or help me to continue to accept what is going on and continue to take care of myself. I am so grateful for the support I have and that I can give.
Sending big hugs ..I’m in same situation for the second time in my life ..my daughter walked away six years ago ..I miss her every day , but I comfort by the fact that my Brother left us for 20 years and then returned to the family .. Without my faith , I honestly don’t think I would have made it , I am strong, because of my faith…. Nollaig Chridheil to you and yours ..may God bless your whole family 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Bonnie, thanks for sharing what you learned in Relief Society. I have been praying for moments of understanding this topic as I am experiencing a hurtful experience right now and you have shared this knowledge and what you learned. It has been so helpful. Thank you. ❤️
Oh my gosh the kids letters were so precious! Lincoln is such a mischievous little sweetheart that is trying soooo hard to be good! My 7 year old grandson Cody is the same way! Sending love from Wilsonville Oregon
Boston Wade - may your giving mouth never fail you and may your right hand always be stretched out in friendship, But never in want. ☘️ ( a little Irish saying) - all of your children are so special - Boston has a gift for words and an eloquence that will take him far ! They are all so unique your children but today I wanted to share that little blessing for Boston. From an Irish follower
When we go through hard things, it causes us to have more empathy to others having a hard time. If we never had trials we wouldn't know how other people feel hurt. 💔 Bonnie I love your dress! Loved all the kids letters to Santa too ☺️
Thank you for the vlog today, Bonnie. From Lincoln’s suspenders ( I have 3 boys and I can relate to him so much! 🙂) to your neighbor’s story on everyone has a stream they are swimming up. Hugs to you and your family. ❤
💜💜💜 sending you all so much love! Also when seeing Bostons letter all I could think about was when he went to school for the first time and was concerned by the spelling of his name and if people would know how to pronounce it🤣
I’ve been watching for years and I never comment on vlogs but your analogy about rowing upstream really touched my heart. It’s so true and I could feel the comfort of the Holy Spirit while you were talking. Thanks for being real. I’m still praying and waiting for my Joel, but watching your vlogs makes me believe in the power and blessing of love. May God continue to Bless you and your family. I can’t wait to see your new house. Merry Christmas💜🌻
I think the word you were looking for is Lincoln is a pill 😂 That must have been so hard for everyone at church but it is nice to hear how they're willing to share. We all have had situations like that. Cody pulling Santa's heartstrings! That was so sweet.
Isn’t it incredible? How God’s perfect timing really ultimately works out… How this synchronized in the perfect way that you are temporary early living in your childhood home at the absolute best time right now. The puzzle piece for you in this moment simply worked out but you know it worked out with God‘s hand in it. You needed these moments. You needed this moment in the moments that are in front of you to weave perfectly inside of your heart. Happy for you, Bonnie. Today’s blog was probably one of your best ones.
Bonnie I needed to hear this. I've been going through a situation with my sister and she really hurt me and my kids. She isn't on a good path and her negative situation brought pain to myself which I could handle until she hurt my baby girl. She is 13 and she knows and is dealing with grown peoples issues because of the situation when she should be worried about her age issues
It's helpful to know we are not alone. Sometimes we can think something is wrong w us cuz we think we r the only ones experiencing stuff. Finding out we r not the only ones is helpful.
Oh, Bonnie, We see you and we hear you honey on the struggle you are facing, and I want you to know you have lots of prayer warriors out here praying for the restoration of your family. It is good to talk about it and to lay your burdens down. It frees your heart, and it does help others who also are going through the very same things. Perhaps something said will land on the ears of the one causing the hurt. A prayer is a powerful tool. A lot of prayers is a force to be reckoned with. I know you like to maintain privacy, but most of us who are long-time followers of the whole family already know what is going on. We are with you in a connected heart and mind. We are your collective family in Christ, and we are believing through all things in him that your situation will work together for good. You have a good heart sweet girl, and I believe he gave you this platform to share his love and grace with others. Continue to shine your light. He will bring you peace. HE is Peace! xoxoxoxox
Nice video nice family I like your family two little boys are very cute happy holidays many blessings to you all love from Canada happy Wednesday 🌲🌲🙏🙏❤️❤️❤️🤗🤗🎅🎅🇨🇦
Bonnie, You stuck a cord with your comments when you said we may speculate others are paddling downstream when actually most of us are paddling upstream together - all struggling one way or another. Let us embrace other's infirmities & be kind.
Bonnie, I make the rolls from your cookbooks every Thanksgiving and Christmas. I have a quick question. Can I make the dough ahead of time? If so how do I store it in the fridge to make sure it is still fresh? Thank you and I hope your family has a wonderful Christmas
I also have a newly estranged relationship with my sister one which i believe there is no coning back from. She has two teenagers who have also cut ties with her and its such a sad situation but sometimes we just have to let them go. Just because someone is family doesn't mean you have to heal the relationship if it was a friend you'd not except that behaviour so why do we think we have to because they are a family member. As sad as it is I just try and not think of it and hope one day they realise and the people round them who believe the bull crap they say see the truth.
Yesss I have something going on with a family member . We decided for out mental health to remove them from out lives . It hurts it does but I’m stronger because of the decision we made !
It’s the times we are living in that is difficult and hard to deal with. Broken relationships and hardships are all part of the prophecy spoken of at 2 Timothy 3: 1 to 5 so we need to really be practicing the golden rule and treating people how we want to be treated. It’s more important now than ever before to show brotherly love to everyone we come into contact with.
I needed help from a therapist. God sent me that way I believe and he helped me be relieved of the pain with my childhood trauma parent relationship and also my divorce I finally feel at peace! ❤❤ I had bitterness and carrying lots of pain that I am finally released and it changed my life I lost 83 lbs so far and feel happy and joy! Thanks be to God! I love you Bonnie and your kindness and being a light in this world!! ❤❤❤Your dress looks gorgeous on you!! 🥰
Our adult son doesn’t speak to us and if he rarely does it just full of hate and anger 😢 we have 3 other kids we are very close to so that helps us . He doesn’t speak to them either ... maybe one day .
Bonnie I loved your message and it's so true for me too. I totally get what you were saying ❤ Your dress is so beautiful on you 💞 Cody's letter to Santa really touched my heart. Your kids have such kind hearts 💙 As for Lincoln getting a knife from Santa..Heaven help us! 😆🎄🎁❤
My son wears his pants pulled over his belly button and it drives me crazy. It is already impossible to find him pants that fit, because he is so tall and skinny.🤦♀️
I’m curious why y’all wear y’all’s church clothes all day? When we got home from church my grandparents told us to take our good clothes off and put on play clothes immediately lol.
You’re so sweet Bonnie… thanks for “being you!” One thing that has helped me during my trials in this life is something my dad used to tell me (he passed 10 years ago) was “this is just temporary “. We can get through it. 🙏🏻👍🏻👌🏻🫶🏻

Absolutely exactly what I was going to say! Boston is a loving and kind young man.
Boston is like his grandma in Serbia. ❤
Same, I love all the kids but something about Boston has me feeling like this little boy has a special place in my heart ❤️ maybe it’s because I am a mom to my own little boy and he reminds me of my son Oakley! He has a pure heart like Boston and that’s what makes him so special to me!!

How sweet of Cody to think of his friends during Christmas!
Great letters there is something special about Boston you can see and feel his heart through it!

You have such a big forgiving heart!

Lincoln is just a typical excitable little boy. I love it! 🤣 Straight in with all the toys he wants, of course. Bless him. ☺️

Those Tupperware measuring cups....my mom still uses the same exact ones!
Cute letters to Santa🎅🥰 May you and your family be blessed during this Holiday season!
Bonnie touched my heart with her words about the Savior. Joel with the RM quote 😂😂 “Kirby?? Is that even a real name?? It’s a vacuum cleaner!!!”
I love your dress Bonnie! Lincoln has such a big personality, he is so adorable! Sending hugs to you and your family❤
Bonnie, you are hilarious! Love your humor with the boys. Mending hurt relationships is so difficult. Bonnie, I love your ❤️ 😊
Boston just melts my darn flipping heart. The entire thing gahhh ❤️
Olivia’a drawing of baby Jesus in the manger is soooooo cute.
The kids are just so cute! I love their letters to Santa
I think the word you were looking for is Lincoln is a pill 😂 That must have been so hard for everyone at church but it is nice to hear how they're willing to share. We all have had situations like that.
Cody pulling Santa's heartstrings! That was so sweet.
You're a great parent, Bonnie!😊😙💙💙💙💙💙🌷💖💖💖💖💖😊🎄🎅❄🎉👍
I teared up at the kids Christmas lists. They are so sweet 😍
Loved the vlog Lincoln reminds me so much of myself when I was little
Love you Bon Bon!! It will get better!

Goodmorning Hollien family wow all yous looking fabulous and beautiful.❤️❤️Santa letters sound so amazing.❤️

Bonnie that you for sharing what you heard from church. Gojng through something siminlar with my family.
Lincoln is such a pill, but I just love it! A total spitfire. 🤣

Sending love to you all 💜
Sending hugs prayers love and kindness with lots of smiles ❤❤❤❤❤❤
Great message.

It's like Lincoln is holding a christmas elf hostage :D
We’re with u 🫶
Lincoln is such a scallywag😂❤
You looked beautiful in that dress 🎄

Do you have a PO Box? I collect and tumble local rocks as a hobby and would love to send Boston a few super cool ones for his stocking!

Awesome
Our adult son doesn’t speak to us and if he rarely does it just full of hate and anger 😢 we have 3 other kids we are very close to so that helps us . He doesn’t speak to them either ... maybe one day .
Can anyone put what bonnie said in words please I’m just struggling to figure out the lesson in my mind sorry😅
That we all have problems with relationships in our families. So just realize everyone struggles so give them grace.
Does anyone notice the rocking chair rocking on its own? Maybe someone bumped it or maybe it’s just me
💜
Your boys are so cool & cute
Bonnie I loved your message and it's so true for me too. I totally get what you were saying ❤ Your dress is so beautiful on you 💞 Cody's letter to Santa really touched my heart. Your kids have such kind hearts 💙 As for Lincoln getting a knife from Santa..Heaven help us! 😆🎄🎁❤
