They are good men. I am often caught off guard when their actions show how kind ,generous and thoughtful they are. Each season of our children's lives have its rewards. Yes savor every moment❤

Always said I just want our kids to be happy, healthy and God willing, self sufficient. It’s been a different journey for birth, but both are there. Now we get to enjoy these wonderful adults and our grandchildren. It is truly the best blessing along with good health.❤

I’m almost 71 and now have 3 grown daughters and 4 grandchildren ranging from 24, 22, 8 and 2 and we now babysit our youngest granddaughter and I find myself crying watching how fast she’s growing and learning…I too absolutely savor every small moment…it’s wonderful watching them grow but also bittersweet knowing we won’t be here to witness our little one’s big milestones (graduation, weddings, childbirths). You’re an awesome mama Jess…nothing wrong with being emotional-I always was and still am. Also seeing my husband turning into a big marshmallow at the sight of our grandkids just melts my heart! Life is good-God is good…we are blessed and thankful❤❤❤🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

Nobody tells you that the hardest part of parenting is the art of letting go. Letting go of the control you have over their lives, so they can go and make their own mistakes, letting go of the perfect moments of each stage, to get the next part, letting go of expectations, ... it's a life long lesson in letting go. And for a control freak, it's the scariest thing in the world.

Seeing your kids growing up is INFINITELY BETTER than not seeing them grow up. I’m a bereaved parent with two living kids, one of them is about Genevieve’s age. I watch my little kids grow up when their big sister never got to…and seeing my two living children grow is the greatest privilege of my life, one that not all of us get. Feel how you feel about them growing up and time passing, but I will say that however hard you feel it is, it’s the most beautiful and magical thing in the world.

Hey Jess, I have a 13 year old and a 16 year old girls. This coming year they will be together in high school. They are the sweetest girls. My husband and I recently had a moment watching my youngest at her awards ceremony. Seeing her smile and walking up took us back to when she was in pre school. It’s crazy how much time flies. Cherish every moment, cry if you have too. That just means you love your babies. It doesn’t get easier. But in my eyes no matter how old they currently are they are still my babies. You are not alone. I teared up with you! God bless! ❤

Not a favorite recipe but a favorite concept that has changed my life. Ingredient prep rather than meal prep. Taking a couple hours that I would normally use to prepare a meal in advance to prepare chopped fruits, veggies, sauces, and dressings in advance. Then, on busy weeknights, I can throw everything together in 15 minutes with no time wasted chopping and prepping. It’s been a major life changer and there are a ton of people on Tik Tok and Inst sharing their ingredient prep strategy.

I blubber ALL the time.......we are not promised tomorrow so it's important to cherish every moment with your family. My son is 30 and my granddaughter is 2. I am turning 62 in a couple months and I will be retiring from my job of 43 years. I want to soak up EVERY waking moment that I can with these two loves of my life. When I'm no longer around, I want them to ALWAYS know...how VERY much I loved them and that nothing else matters. I love your channel Jess and your family! God Bless You always.

You cry all you want. The time does go by so quickly, and you need to cherish it all . Tell them you love them, give them the hug they cringe at. We just married our first child off and I just kept looking at her remembering her childhood and wondering where that time went.💕so you just keep crying and cherishing those girls.

Wish I would have had that back in the day, all I have are memories in my head but I do have tons of photos of my grandson, I made him a video one day for his birthday with photos I had of him from a baby to where he is now, he loved it. He’s soon to be 21, time goes by so fast, cherish them.❤❤❤

Aw Jess this was an emotional one! My baby is now 22 and I would love to say those milestones through their life get easier on us as parents, but they honestly don’t. At times, especially when they are younger and you’re sleep deprived, you wish those hours away. But, when they are gone that’s it. I have wished to turn back the clock so many times to those days again. Cherish them all. They are fleeting. Much love to you and the family xx ❤

Jess, I am 72 years young and without a doubt, my favorite “job” was being a mom to my children. So much so that I also worked in Kndg & 1st grade for 13 years. People always tell you how fast it all goes while your smack in the middle of no sleep, picky eaters, contrary teens, etc. I have learned that each season has its ups and downs, but seasons pass too quickly. Now they are both in their 40’s and we are blessed to all really like each other and have such good times. So the seasons change, the memories continue and being a mom is a real blessing. Also, my husband and I have been together over 54 years, and remain each others best friend. Nurture that and the future really is golden. Enjoy the graduation.❤🌻

My only child graduated high school this year. The whole time we sat through the ceremony, I had that same feeling. It’s like you’re there but it doesn’t feel real or possible at all. It’s like being in a dream. It’s so heartbreaking and you’re bursting with excitement and pride at the same time. It’s so surreal.

Jessica I know you probably won't see this but thank you for sharing your thoughts about kids growing up. I really needed it today. Had a rough morning with my young kids today and your video has shifted my mindset to one of gratitude for these sweet little humans I get to call mine. My oldest just graduated kindergarten and it had me thinking about how fast high school graduation is going to come up and I was not okay 😭 being a mom is such a bittersweet thing. Beautiful and messy, so happy and so gut - wrenching all at once. Thanks for being vulnerable and sharing ❤️

A friend told me “the days are long, but the years are short” while I was pregnant. My baby’s first birthday is next week and I’m trying hard to be in the moment. I’m excited to see the little person she is becoming, while also remembering each milestone and how small she was when she came into this world. I’m sure I’ll have quite a few tears before her party and many more in the coming years. I FEEL what you are feeling. It’s normal and beautiful to have deep emotions about your baby growing up. I cried with you as you talked through that vulnerable moment. Thank you for sharing your thoughts.

I literally just got home from spending a week with my son, his fiance and my 1st grandson and I sobbed the entire 16 hr ride home. All i could think holding my newborn grandson was how I will never get to hold him as a newborn ever again. Next time I see him it could be 6 months to 1 yr and that tiny newborn baby will be older. I am still crying as I type this. I just did my best to soak it all up but even as we drove away all I wanted was "one more day" just like all I ever wanted since my son grew up is one more day with him as a baby. All that to say it doesn't get easier lol watching MY baby become a dad was in itself emotional. Then leaving them all behind was Hella emotional ❤

I worry we’re not doing enough fun stuff or making the best memories and I always think I could be doing better. But then he’ll say things that makes me realize he’s loving his little life. It’s just so hard to see the time pass and know it won’t always be this way. But also I love him becoming my little side kick more and more. No answers but I get it!

Little tip that I got from a friend, make a list of all the dinners you have recipes for or your family likes. I divided it into categories by the type of meat. Print it out and put at the front of the dinner section, it helps during those planning days when I am stuck and cannot think of what sounds good. I can glance at it and see stuff that maybe we forgot about.

I’ve been a mom to my step-daughter since she was just turning 2 and now she’s about to be 15, and boy does it go fast! I obviously love her unconditionally at any developmental stage but I do miss when she was little and things were simpler and she still thought we were cool and wanted to hang out with us! Honestly though now that we’re in the teen years (little kids are more physically exhausting and teens are psychologically exhausting) we’re ready for her to finish growing up already because this phase can be TOUGH haha. Also, you’re totally right about videos, they’re so much more fun to look back on than pictures when they get older!

When they are newborns and it’s 2am and they won’t go back to sleep, it feels like time is dragging on. But then you blink and they are (nearly) grown. They are such sweet but bittersweet moments.

Crying with you. My baby is 19 months old and I feel the same... I can't imagine a graduation of any kind. Will absolutely cry the whole day for sure.

I have a 27 year old son and I look at him and I see him when he was three years old. I find myself thinking where did that time go. Kids grow so fast and you wake up one morning and they are adults getting married. Enjoy every minute you have with your sweet girls. Love watching your videos and see your adventures with your family. I Watched to the end! 😎

Thank you so much for this! My oldest son is graduating from high school and this entire school year I’ve been sad knowing this is it…I won’t be watching him play basketball and taking him to school with his siblings! I feel like such a baby and I can’t stop and really think about it because it makes my heart hurt! It just went by too fast and I don’t feel ready! I’m hoping it’ll be easier with my others! I just feel like it’s an end of an era with all my kids in one place safe and under my care! ❤🍉☀️🕶️

Aww Jess, I cried right along with you ❤️ I have an almost 3 yo and I am always emotional when I see him growing up. I can’t even tell you how much I relate to what you said. Glad to know I’m not alone. ❤️

😎 😎 😎 I totally understand about trying to absorb the moment. I have a 9 month old and the amount of time I’ve pictured all the stages he’s gone through and will go through simultaneously is amazing. The way I feel about and experience time has completely changed, and it’s beautiful, but also feels hard to swallow at times.

Aww, sweetie, we have 4 kids and 11 grands and I wish I could tell you that you’ll stop having the bawling moments but I still look at photos at them at every age and missed them at that moment still! They are all y’all’s age, now. I cried at the grands graduation! They are growing up too fast! My husband and I try to travel but I even miss them everywhere! It’s way easier on the husband. He sounds like Tyler! They will always be your babies!

🕶️☀️🌻 I cried at my daughter’s preschool, kindergarten, 8th grade, and high school graduations. College graduation I was fine, lol! It’s ok! Can’t help that I feel more deeply than others, I suppose. Thank you so much for sharing recipes, life and books! I have read some great books that you recommended. Keep doing what you’re doing! We love it!❤

😎😎😎 When my daughter was in first grade we moved and I was totally the insane mom balling my eyes out at her going away class party - she could have cared less about switching schools, but I was inconsolable! Now she is 31 and expecting my first grandchild. Don’t apologize for your mama emotions. But every age and stage has its joys and sorrows. Love your channel for being real and honest!

I totally get the emotions. We are having our daughter’s first birthday party this weekend and while I’m excited, I also feel sad. She’s grown and changed so much in just one year! 😢

I have two kiddos, 25 and 24. My daughter (25) moved out this past December and my son just moved out this weekend. It is very emotional, but it is a good thing too. I love seeing them grow into the beautiful young adults that they are. My son being gone is still very new and I don't think it has officially sunk in, but I'm happy, so very happy for him. He's wanted this for so long and did an amazing job saving for his first house. Again, so bittersweet. Much love as you navigate your journey. ENJOY!!

Soak in all the moments of being a parent! The good times, the sad times and even the tantrums. Cry all the tears you want, it's a blessing to be able to see your babies grow and flourish. My husband and I have been trying for years to have a little one and following two pregnancy losses, we still haven't been blessed yet. Be grateful and glad you get all the moments, even the bad ones. I truly hope this comes off in the sincere way I'm intending it. 💕 I've also never heard of the term fleshing out and idk why, but it kind of grosses me out 🤣🕶️🕶️🕶️

I have always said that if you get through the teenage years and you both are still alive then you have done you job. Parenting is the hardest but most rewarding, as they say. I have 4 adult children and LOVE this season in life with them. Books: currently reading The Midnight Library. It’s ok not super attention keeping. Have been reading a lot of Frieda Macfadden. 😎😎😎 bring on the summer fun times. Love the first top you were wearing too. Stay blessed.

Accepting your kids growing up never gets any easier🥲 My son is 34 and I still get emotional. Every year and every change they go through, every challenge and every heartache, I still feel. Enjoy every stage but always remember there will be so many more to come❤️

I am putting things together to make a scrapbook of Kindergarten, as I watch your video. I can definitely relate. I also got weepy at Kinder graduation. It’s so hard to see their little faces changing and time going so fast. You are so not alone! ❤

Just live in the moment and create wonderful memories. Being a parent is hard because we spend so many years guiding our children and preparing them to be without us. Every stage - daycare, first day of school, graduation, college - it's all about letting go bit by bit. If we do it right they visit, call and share their adult lives with us. My girls are in their 30's and my youngest just had her first child and my first grandchild. Now I get to spend 2 days a week with him and am so grateful to be able to experience this time with him and with my daughter.

I loved the Alchemist! I find I have a tendency to hold myself back and get into my head about any big decisions, but after reading the book I was able to let go of some of that. It helped me to realize I wasn't happy at all in my current life (relationship, where I lived, work, etc), so I decided to do something for myself for once and pick up and move across the country. I have never been happier, though sometimes it is still a struggle to remind myself I have the freedom to change anything I am unhappy with in my life whenever I want to :)

im so sorry im in that part of video where you are crying and i have a 5 and 6 years old and i cant help but burst into tears, I can imagine what your trying to say and as a parent I wish i can just freeze the moment and hold onto that young and innocent phase of their life.

I'm living in the same boat with two young boys, a 10yo and a 6yo. I was telling my husband the other night that we are living in the prayer we prayed for! It's a magical, heartbreaking, glorifying journey we are on and I'm embracing both the highs and lows of each moment! You aren't alone sis ❤

The days are long but the years are short. My kids are grown. 26 and 21. I love spending time with my adult girls. It’s a totally different relationship but boy do I miss them being little. Just cherish every moment, as I am sure you do. Nothing else we can do, right?? Sadly, it doesn’t get any easier. Those are your babies. Of course you will celebrate all of their milestones and accomplishments but you will always miss the days when they were little. Sending prayers!

For your recipe binder, 3M (post it notes) makes a little label for making your own dividers. You could just stick those on the dividers you made. They have a stripe of color to help differentiate them and you can write on them with a sharpie.😊

Oh girl! Every stage is heart tugging. However, I just watched my oldest graduate and I will say it was one of the happiest moments of my life with him. He is so ready to move on to the next phase of his life that it makes me so thrilled for him to be done with this one. That all to say that every “last” we experienced this year I was a messy puddle of tears in the corner with the phone held high recording it all. He’s a wrestler as his brother and their last time warming up todether I cried like a baby. Little moments like that leading up to it. But then by graduation, I had no tears left and knew how excited he was for college. That makes it so worth it. Plus, as they get older, getting compliments on the human they are becoming makes your parent heart settle. It’s almost like a hug you keep. Knowing you’re preparing them for the real world.
