So I'm 55 yrs and I remember when I was 6-7, my mom caught me being mean verbally to my friend. I don't remember what I said, but looking back, the lesson learned was to accept responsibility for your actions and apologize and mean it. Kids may hear the inflection in our tone of voice and imitate that but not understand what that can mean when said in an upset situation. We are not perfect humans, and thank God for beautiful realistic people like yourself. Give yourself grace and patience ❤❤

“Let” my kids eat in the living room so I can have lunch in peace in the dining room while watching this. 😅 I so so so appreciate your realistic chat with us about parenting and real scenarios. Sometimes I “snap” at my daughter as well and even though we talk it through and apologize to each other as well, I cry myself to sleep at night from guilt. Something I need to work on, but I just want to be the best me for my littles. I also taught 5th graders and saying “you know what, I don’t know and I don’t want to give you the wrong information” makes them go 😮 😂

Jessica, thank you for your honesty and vulnerability regarding having trouble getting out the door on time and challenges with daily parenting issues. I thought that was a very brave choice and I admire you so much for that! It is easy for viewers to put KZfaq content creators up on pedestals and then become depressed because their life is so messed up in comparison. IMO comparison is the enemy of contentment, but it is still a hard impulse to resist. Thank you also for sharing part of your spiritual life, like when you talked about joining a new Bible study group and showed us the new study Bible you recently purchased. It is encouraging to see other Christians "work out their faith" in their everyday lives, relationships, and decision making. God bless you and your beautiful family! ❤🙏🎉

as a new mom (5m) I do really really appreciate the insight. So many uf us are worried we aren't organized enough. It's okay guys, we're gonna figure it out as we go along with our kids. It's healthy to rolemodel a person that is willing to learn and become better. Failing is part of that.

Hi Jessica! Thank you so much for being realistic about the minor things that happened during your morning routine. It made me feel so much better. I have four kids 7 and under and getting everyone fed and out the door by myself is so challenging. I will be so hard on myself if there’s even one little tiny argument and have to raise my voice and I need to learn that as long as I try my best that’s all I can do. LOVE this video!

Happy Friday, dear Jessie! I took advantage of your suggestion with Brooklinen and bought my parents a set of sheets (along with matching Mickey and Minnie pj’s…channeling their inner child) and my 25 year old daughter a Brooklinen robe like you find in high end hotels! I also ordered a lot from your Amazon list as gifts! It will be like you are with us on Christmas morning! I remember the chaotic morning of getting ready to teach with 2 little ones (I have daughters who are 16 months apart). The stress is real! Now I’m still teaching, but the girls are 25 and 26 and off on their own. I have a whole new kind of stress with anxiety that always hits hard first thing in the morning. I stress over my hair terribly and makeup as well. Everyone always says I look great, but I’m my worst critic and stress cut my hair. No one understands stress and anxiety unless you have lived with it. You help me get ready each morning and I’m wearing your old Vlogmas videos out right now! You are like part of my family! Thank you for filling a void in my life and providing me with laughter, love and entertainment!! Hugs and love! 😘 Susan in Maryland

Jess, I just wanted to pop in here and say that I was looking for a new sheet set and wanted to try out 100% linen - I remembered that you were sponsored by Brooklinen so I went looking and found this video, clicked on your link and just got a beautiful "raisin" (plummy-burgundy-ish), 100% linen California King set for $152!! The regular price was $300 something but with the "give us your email" discount of 15% on top of their 50% off this set, it was a steal. I usually get white or lighter colored sheets so I'm also excited to break out of my comfort zone and have an unusual color. Just wanted to encourage others to use your links when they can -- it's an easy way to support your channel when you would have bought the items anyway! Cheers! ❤

It cracks me up when you say "You know what I mean". My mom and I were having a conversation and she stopped and said do you realize you said "You know what I mean 3 times in this conversation. I hadn't realized it and as the conversation went on my mom said it 3 times and I pointed it out and we had a good laugh. The apple doesn't fall far from the tree. We were wondering where we came up with saying it. I think it's a Midwest thing you know what I mean 🤣

Appreciate the real talk. Just wait till you get to the attitude during the teenage years! I have a 14 year old and around 12 the attitude really started and it would set me off so badly. I had to figure out how to not be so reactive because having an attitude back to them and getting really activated and emotional only fuels their attitude, and like you said, sets a bad example for them. Something that’s so important for kids from an early age is teaching them how to identify, talk about, and process their feelings in a healthy way. I think learning emotional regulation and modeling it for your children is so critical (and can be so difficult when you don’t grow up with it having been modeled for you). And then when you learn how to process your feelings properly, you make so much more space in your emotional container and that allows you to not “snap” as easily over the little things.

Sadly, our 4-legged bestest boy, Roscoe, passed away earlier this year. We have the Google Nest in our kitchen (with the screen), and had a recurring reminder for the morning and evenings to prompt us in case someone else had/hadn't fed him already. It doesn't chime or anything, but displays on the screen until someone clears it. I wish we had figured that out sooner, it was so helpful in a busy household with everyone sharing all the tasks.

Jess, you are not alone! Mornings with kids are just chaos haha. That’s when I’m my most anxious and grumpy. My kids are 10 and 7 and I still haven’t figured out mornings. It’s a great teaching moment. I apologize when I yell, take some deep breaths, explain that I’m frustrated and I didn’t handle myself well and ask to try again. I think it’s also creating empathy, so they understand when people are upset, they might not act like themselves and may need some understanding.
