They need to see Josie Bates Balka’s SM for all kinds of clips and styles for long hair! Her hair always looks good, it’s her business and she seems to be good at it.

Carlin wastes $$ on silly things too, one video was where Evan was ordering a pizza because the dinner she tried to cook was inedible. Apparently at the last minute she and Katie decided to make a roast dinner in an Instant Pot. So they ordered home delivery of the ingredients, which Evan explained was extra. But neither Carlin or Katie knows about slow cooking so meat was ruined. They also did not know how to make mashed potatoes or boxed macaroni and cheese, so that was ruined too. It was all very bizarre. So KJ isn’t much of a cooking teacher just like Meechelle. So there are major differences in the lifestyles of the Bates girls.

And they are wearing pants! Carlin, Alyssa and Josie post almost every day and only occasionally mention church or their faith.

Is she putting a nursery up there for when baby Nurthan comes to visit? She is unbelievable with the junk. Also, her and Hunk need a getaway? She can’t spend that Stimulus money fast enough.

Yes there definitely seems to be something up with Erin and the sisters who are always on SM. Whit tries way too hard to fit into all the Bates family activities. She’s pictured a lot with Carlin or Kelly even without Zac. The root is most likely the Bates sisters boutique. Family businesses are always tough, too much intertwining of family issues, personalities etc. BSB is probably not going in the direction Erin is comfortable with. She and Chad seem more Fundie and maybe Erin wasn’t interested in being at the boutique on a regular basis. And this has all slowly seeped into her not attending every shower and birthday party, which with so many family members would be exhausting. And I can’t blame her for not spending the day like Carlin, KJ, Whit and Josie did yesterday (per Carlin Instagram) running to 5 or 6 stores getting supplies for a shower that was THE NEXT DAY!

@BetyBee sorry to hear about your sister. It’s especially tough to lose someone who has been around your whole life.

Don’t you all just love how JillR couldn’t wait to decorate the barndo area she’s calling a porch? Looks like she bought a ton of patio furniture, probably on sale since it is fall in Ohio. She did more of her landscaping, which is really just junk and trinkets for the yard. We never saw her cemetery garden again, I guess once she decorates, she moves on. Her attention span is very limited. Most of what she does makes no sense but I guess that stimulus money was burning a hole in her pocket.

Fake greenery with junk stuffed in it most likely. If the barndo isn’t finished by Thanksgiving how will JillR display all her Christmas decor?

LLC’s are usually formed for legitimate business reasons, but the sheer volume that are started and closed with various Duggars really smells like legal or tax shenanigans. We’ve discussed a lot of this before, but anyone buying a house or land to use as their principal residence would not use an LLC as a way to do this. There would be no tax or legal benefit to do so. So if Anna has an LLC to buy some land with a mobile home on it, there would be no reason except Jim Boob manipulations or control , for her to use that property as her residence. I could see Boob telling Anna some tale or another that he is only looking out for her, but I imagine he’s not really.

Apparently they did a scavenger hunt as part of the festivities. Seems like only the older kids participated unless the little ones were on a team with Shrek. In the beginning of the audio you hear mumbling like he was lost or something. Again JillR timeline is all wonky but they must be on the road again. Do those kids ever do any schooling at all?

Jessa seems to be wearing pants more especially when it is more appropriate to whatever she’s doing. Maybe Ivy and Fern will be seen more in pants soon too. Bin’s mom and sisters have all been pictured in pants. I think Meechelle was the one obsessed with skirt wearing and knees covered.

Yes the stairs are definitely more complete when Jon and one of the Rod boys were finishing the attic door. JillR must have so many interesting things to post she can’t keep her timeline straight. We’re probably going to see more of her Texas vacation soon.

Looks like Jessa and Bin are upping their SM game. Kids are all spiffed up, parents are smiling and there’s a giveaway.

Thanks for the Jolene link, that was stunning.

@BetyBee sorry to hear about your sister, sounds like she’s had a tough year.

JillR’s posting is wonky sometimes with timeline. It seemed like the Amish were framing before the Texas trip and then nothing else happened until Hunk and his crew got going. JillR was too busy with Kaylee courtship and her Plexus posts to film/post the addition stuff. Maybe an inspection had to happen before they could start electrical work, lol who am I kidding?

Definitely looks like they are still in the RV. Their closing on the small house they bought was back in late June or maybe July. Wonder if they are waiting for JillR to come and decorate before they move.

Yeah but farming out Michael who is what, 10? to be with James, who is 18? and apparently they are at a construction site? I think Anna is overwhelmed with “keeping sweet” while ready to burst with M#7. Not hard to understand but I think her kids should be more of a priority than they seem to be. And it says a lot about the grandparents, they are all MIA.

Jana and Laura would be my guess.

Yes! Just like Mama Bates and Carlin, they can stalk Nurie from across and stare at her window.

@ginger90 Thanks for the pamper mama pictures. I had totally blocked that s**t show from my memory! I love that JillR was registered at Macy’s but they state that Macy’s is too high priced for them, WTF who does that? Most hospitals are not allowing visitors right now so JillR will have to come up with a new plan.

Maybe while Nurie is in labor JillR can hold a grandma shower for herself, sort of like when her severely crippled sister was in the hospital and she had herself a baby shower at the hospital. Although if Nurie is doing a home birth not sure how many people will fit in the Nurthan home. Does anyone know if Nurthan moved or not? I know someone reported that Nurthan purchased a small house near the Keller’s but JillR has not shared any details. Which makes me think she hasn’t been invited, lol.

My take is that Josh is both stupid and smug. Nothing too bad has happened to him before, so he doesn’t have the mental capacity to imagine what might happen to him now. Living apart from his family now is no different than when he was in Jesus rehab, so I doubt the reality of his situation has sunk in.

Gee, you mean waiting to get married and not having 4 kids right away might be a good idea???

Meechelle also claimed to have an eating disorder so she probably diagnosed Jin.
