They discuss it season 6 episode 12. The family fund did pay for Logan's tuition and car. Aspyn had a car and would have the same tuition. Kody tells Meri that because she only has one child - that Leon's expenses can come out of her budget and not the family fund. Yes, Leon's tuition was much, much higher. But Meri presumably paid it all and didn't receive the equvialent of in-state tuition.

I thought she was blogging about the flower farm? Is this different? She has two blogs now?

I think twins are extra special for her too - since she is a twin. She seems to be back in Arkansas fairly often. Jinger's birthday, the holidays, her birthday and now visiting nieces. I wonder how Nebraska life is.

I have questions: A) In the beginning of the video Jinger says "don't peek" but then she opens her eyes lol. Then, in the second clip she says "did you not know?" I think we saw only splices of the full video because Jessa sent them a wrapped outfit that was still in the amazon packaging! Just like she does for xmas. Seriously, Jessa - can we break out a box and some tissue paper for this occasion? I think Jeremy may have not understood what it was right away - since it was brown/beige and wrapped in heavy plastic. So they split the video. B) Who is videoing the "tell Felicity" part - Jessa? It didn't sound like her. Oh and another question? When did Joy and Jinger start saying "OH.... MY.... WORD...."? Am I just now noticing or is this little trend new?

All we have is speculation, a few pictures, one vague news article. The Wissmans and Duggars have known each other for a long time. My theory is that Jana and Stephen "dated" or thought about courting around the time Jeremiah and Hannah were courting. There are a few photos of Jana with the Wissmans in late 2020, early 2021, and one with Stephen at the Duggar house. Then the arrest, trial, drama, plus Jana's own issues with the law... I suspect she pulled back. Then in the article she tells the story that Stephen hand wrote her a letter after a long gap of time. She said if he had not done that, she may not have even given it a second thought. But they exchanged letters, and then started talking again and then she realized that if he still wanted her after all those past struggled - he must be the one. So timing I guess is everything lol. I doubt she was in love. But hoping maybe she finds love. From little we know he seems like a good guy and she seems to be leaning in to the idea lol This is the quote: “It was like, ‘What are we doing? We still enjoy each other. We still really appreciate each other,’ ” she recalled to People. “I had been a slower mover on it, but just over time, his character, his coming back, still loving me no matter what. I know we have a big crazy family and still kind of putting up with a lot of things. I’m like, my goodness, there are not too many people that do that. He must really, genuinely care about me.” Rumor has it he had one prior girlfriend but nothing serious. But that is really just fan speculation. All we really know is that he is very close with his large family.

I mean either way he is in fact "mingling" by definition. Didn't law school teach him how to use a dictionary? Me thinks he doth protest too much. He obviously wants to keep the book selling. I feel for Jill sanwiched in between two man-children.

Laura DeMasie, Jana's former BFF was a guest at the wedding - saw her in the video twice and she posted pics too. Jessa's voice cracked at the end of her speech when she said they prayed together - and that is when Jana got teary eyed. I imagine they've gotten deep with each other a few times but both of them keep a pretty stoic exterior. Intros with each wedding party doing a a silly entry is a thing - have seen it many times - and i also don't like it lol Ben was there - he was in the full family wedding photo. Did not see Anna anywhere. I wish we could have heard Josiah and Lauren sing Jill and Derrick seemed to be seated way back at the wedding

Yes, its "so fun, so sweet, amazing and crazy" Sweet bothers me too. Joy also says it. Plus "Oh. my. word" I also saw Felicity in two pictures and wondered if it was intentional or an accident. I kept looking to see if they'd take it down. She's adorable.

So Savannah AND Janelle are both living in Maddie's house in NC? Getting cramped in there I assume! Edited to Add: another forum says mykelti said Savanah is studying bio med at NAU LOL Edited again: I see it now - she is with Maddie and Caleb and goes to ECU So yes, crowded house!

To me, it seems sort of like a patreon community without having to be confined by patreons rules. But it all seems more scammy because of the mlm history - and "worthy up" just sounds like a scammy name. In reality its just a patreon with a bad name

I believe she told one of her live groups that the plan is to renovate and do an event/venue type business instead (rather than a less lucrative standard b and b)

maddie posted about this and they are doing the permits thing and "mountain of paperwork" - just a little behind schedule she said lol

On a recent podcast she was asked about her plan and she said "flowers." When asked to elaborate she said "I don't know, we want people to be able to come, and yeah flowers, doesnt that sound nice? you know what I mean? and I don't know, whatever that ends up looking like." So it's gonna be awhile lol

On their podcast Jeremy said Felicity had been praying for a boy lol. At least they didn't tell her to do it (although Jer may have been dream whispering to her at night 'pray for a boy, pray for a boy')

The people article said that Jinger thought 2 was it. Then she said 3 is what they always talked about. Then she said she thinks 3 is it, 3 or 4. My guess is Jer wants that boy and this #3 is probably another girl. See ya in March lol.

Josie and Jenni wore matching dresses to Jana's party and were in charge of wrangling those billion little flower girls. So maybe they were considered jr bridesmaids aka babysitters

Do we think Jana would do that diamond ring photo as a way to boost social media engagement? I just find it hard to believe that the snarkers over on reddit don't have any information about Jana dating/courting. Someone somwhere usally leaks something.I will be shocked if she is truly engaged to be married. If anything the Duggars know we are looking at that finger and now we are all conveniently watching her videos looking for clues. Edited to add - the ring looks a lot like Abbie's ring. Maybe Jana just put it on for fun for picture taking.

I cannot believe I wasted time today lol but I looked at a few more things and found what I think her path is. On her worthy up facebook page it says "motivational speaker." So right now she's selling access to this "community" which is really just people paying to interact with her lol. But I think she's going full tilt toward becoming a circuit guru. It's very much the path of Danielle Delgaddo who also sold "positivity" and her "life story." And then started writing help books, touring and selling special "empowerment" trainings. Meri seems to be trying to play the same exact game (unforuntately for Meri she is not a good speaker lol ). On the membership page it says you get a "Printable pdf WOW workbook" Do we think that is "women of worth" or the marketing/"start your own business" WOW ... It''s got to be scammy since the no one can really figure out for sure what she's doing.

I'm not sure she's a "life coach" (certainly no certificaiton.) I think she's trying to create something like Danielle Delgaddo (her "friend") - and I fully expect a book soon - but its not going to be a tell all. It's going to be about "empowerment." From the website - (note - her vision is NOT clear imho) "Meri’s vision is clear – to create a space where every woman recognizes her worth, embraces her uniqueness, and thrives in a community that celebrates individual and collective growth. Worthy Up is more than a destination; it’s a catalyst for positive change, and Meri invites you to be a part of this empowering journey. Welcome to Worthy Up, where your transformation begins and your worth is celebrated"

I agree. This is produced by the same people who did Cheer for Netflix and those people gained a huge following and lots of media attention. I could definitely see them planning to springboard off this platform.

I've been away from this for so long lol. Who's the blonde between VK and Jada? I actually recognized Madeline S. Interesting they included two legacies. Wonder how "Perfection isn't perfect" will go? There is a faith book by that name https://www.amazon.com/When-Perfection-Perfect-Michael-Farrell/dp/1737920018 Do we think Kelli is pivoting away from her goal of perfection?

Agree, they said "4 months" - that could be 16- 20 weeks. A tragic loss and she is clearly deep in grief. If she wants to post about it every day from now on she most certainly can. She's posted a carousel of funeral/loss pictures for seven days straight now. And while that seems unusual to some - it is her page and her process and most certainly her right. That being said other Duggars have been accused of monetizing their grief through great public display. I would never personally post on a grieving mothers page - but I think that might be the root of some of the comments. If she were not a Duggar perhaps people would leave it alone more. Today's post seems to have the comments turned off - thankfully.

Is it just one location or the whole thing? Is this why he went to Vegas for three weeks?

I used to think so but from the small kernels of truth we get I have doubt. In the book (half fiction probably) they talk about the t rough times between Meri and Kody - prior to the show. And at some point Meri realized she was not getting 1/3 of his time...mostly because he had tenders with Christine and Janelle. And of course we learned just last season, Kody melted down the ring Meri gave him with intention "to release himself from Meri." A deliberate act against her. And the story about how he gave heaps of presents to Christine and none to Meri years and years before... I think Janelle was the OG Kody whisperer prior to Robyn. His "intellectual equal" - she had his ear. And she for sure planted seeds. Christine was a "princess." Meri was a "b**ch." I don't think Christine was ever the favorite but she did "earn favor" by having 6 babies- which definitely is the way to get more attention. She was the "fun one" and by all accounts she wanted to be the "third wife" for a reason - "the last one." The last one always gets perks.

FYI they are filming. Mykelti apparently posted on Patreon today that she put on her makeup for the first time because "I had to film on set today." Silly me thought this show might pause for a while... but no.
