I can relate to Jen's pantry (sad, but true). I just cleared out ours the other day and I threw out many grocery bags of expired food. Now, part of the problem for us is that we are a multicultural household and it's difficult/far to get to the ethnic market so when we go, we buy extra and sometimes we experiment and buy things that we eventually decide we really don't want to use. Also, along with that multicultural angle, when visitors come from overseas, they tend to bring food gifts so we get many things that we don't want or ask for. Then they sit in our pantry only to die a slow death. Add to that a FIL who grew up during the war and equates food with love and security. Some of that has rubbed off on my husband and he likes having a full pantry.
I am envious when I see pantry of refrigerator tours and the family has a very restrained approach to food. It's what I aspire to. I'm working on it, but it is difficult to change your ways. Old habits run deep. I'm trying to menu plan more and to review what we have in the pantry and refrigerator before I make my grocery list. And then I try to actually stick to the list. I'm trying.
Omg. I can't believe I actually watched all those flipping snaps about her "injury". Heaven help Jen and her family of anything should ever really happen to her. On and on about her ankle. Oy with the poodles, already!
Here's the weird thing (to me). Jen is not snapping this herself. She had to have asked Don to record her caressing Winnie. I don't even want to think about why he is okay with filming this. I can't even imagine asking my husband to record me petting one of our dogs. He would think I've lost my mind.
I'm behind on the Marnie board, but I did listen to her summer handbag video and noted a couple things. First of all, much of the US is winding down summer. I realize "south Texas" remain hot much longer, but these tips would have been more helpful if it was given earlier in the summer.
Secondly, how strange did she sound when she was talking about making friends by using your facial mist while watching your snowflake play football? Seriously, I would never remove a spray bottle from my handbag and start spritzing my face in the bleachers. And if anyone did that around me I would question their sanity.
I'm not sure about the stretchy Gap 27 jeans. So Jen is one size bigger than Michele1218, who wears a size 26. Lol
Jen must look so odd in real life. With her ample rack, her short torso, her tiny waist, her curvy hourglass hips, the long legs, athletic calves and problematic, bunion feet I can't imagine what she looks like. All I can think of is a Picasso painting.
So is the term "dissolvable solids" a new thing? We just called it finger food. But my youngest is 15. That's back in the stone ages when we had baby slings instead of containment devices and we put our babies on their stomachs and actually made them irritated sometimes.
Yeah I have a 12 year old, 9 year old and a 5 month old...if it's changed, no one informed me. I can see where an OT would use that terminology. But when has Jen ever been known to reach for normal vocabulary?
Yes, I can totally see someone like an OT or speech therapist using these terms...I'm in healthcare and find that I speak in the lingo even when having normal conversations and I have to remember who I'm speaking with and adjust my language. But with Jen, she's just saying it to sound smarter than she is. And it just makes her sound detached from her child.
PS--I hate the necklaces she got the other day. And why would she want the locket to rest between her breasts--how awkward.
Charlotte is a cutie - I love chubby baby stage! I really hope Jen embraces it - in her "dissolvable solids" snap, I got the feeling Cheets has a very healthy appetite, just like Don. Speaking of Don & Cheets, she hasn't shown any resemblance to Jen in anything so far. I guess Don will never have to say "Charlotte, my daughter" in his life!
Fun fact, I went and checked put that candokiddo Instagram, where she got the frozen washcloth idea. She is an OT and I just randomly clicked on one of the photos and, no lie, it referenced dissolvable solids.

While we're back in Utah...here's some good ol' classic crazy (so much great crazy to choose from in Utah). Nearly eight minutes pondering your hair part. I wonder if, when CC's hair gets longer, we might see this kind of life-changing decision in action again.
And, oh my goodness, there was some serious dejavu/foreshadowing in the opening...that death stare while Winnie drank was almost identical to THE LOOK she gave her daughter Charlotte in the beginning of the hospital bag video.
Omg! Thank you for this. The infamous hair part vlog. I have heard about it forever and have never actually watched the crazy. I'm so excited to watch this (that probably says more about me than I should share. 😬)
You guys...I've been traveling with my fam for the last 13 hours in a car and haven't been able to listen to the snaps. I did watch them in their full flared-nostril glory, but I'm home now and I can finally hear them! I'm so excited. I'm gonna make my tea of choice and enjoy them with sound!
ETA--okay, watched the snaps. She's so strange. She seems to forget we saw her PDs (otherwise known as Personal Days) shopping hauls where she just walked by LV and just "had to have" the hand painted tote that I have never seen her use. This whole, "it's my own money, I buy all my own clothing and personal care" BS is so strange. When did she get so "independent"? Must be part of her new mama philosophy.
OK--- I have to say it and laugh if you will-- but I want one of those Hermes bracelets. I have looked at them online but I can't decide on a color so I just back away. It really is a lot for costume jewelry but I want one of those Hermes boxes!!!!!!!! Plus now I have to imagine InaJen in her tent shirt wearing it while letting CC comfort chew on her boob for hours. Might have ruined it for me........
I'm the same way. I've wanted one but have had a hard time deciding to get one--And now I think it's ruined.
So I watched Jen's snaps quickly and without sound but I'll have to go back and listen to her rant. My jaw almost hit the floor when I saw the Hermes bracelet. And I figured she wouldn't know how to say the name "Hermes"
My prediction for her next "pretty" is a Chanel WOC. It's the only logical next step.
