You are so right. One big infomercial. Wouldn't it have been nice if they had included Michael so she could have joined the fun and not been left behind to watch kids like she always is. This time she was just left behind because she didn't fit their parameters. (And maybe had to watch Josie's kids some.)

Carlin, Josie and Katie (along with baby Harvey!) took Kelly Jo to New Hampshire for her 58th birthday. I'm curious if they asked the other sisters if they wanted to chip in and go and they declined or if they just planned it.

Interesting.

Are there sizes to any of these outfits. She doesn't list them while the clothes are being shown/modeled, and I don't want to click the link to go to her Esty store to see if she lists it there. Ug.

Does Layla get her nails done every week? Seems like it.

Her modeling was funny. She would look at the camera with her head angled down and look up with her eyes, trying to look coy, I guess. Didn't really work for me. She even flipped her hair before she turned around and saw the mess back there. She was really working it.

But Jill thinks she has "an eye" to pull modest pieces together to make a beautiful outfit. She'll shop and put it all together and then sell it (with or without the modest part) to you. *smile* My theory is that she has already been seen in it on social media, so she doesn't want to wear it again. That is how a lot of "influencers" are. 🙄

I think she is finding the dress, shoes, jewelry or putting the skirts/blouses together from Goodwill finds and then reselling them. She believes she has a good eye for fashion, especially modest pieces. Cracks me up that she is selling them as modest but most of them don't include the modest item. I remember when Phillp wore that way too big belt. I felt sorry for him.

Oh, there was clickbait. The title of the video was, "WE WRECKED OUR TESLA!" with the subtitle as, "The Tesla is TOTALED" Maybe the "WE" in the title in a hint at whose fault the wreck was. Since BSB isn't open to the public, the workers just package up the online orders and get them ready to mail. And then I guess they unbox and put new merch on the wire shelfing (no steaming or anything). Other than getting ready for a Cash and Carry it's probably a very easy job. Whit and Carlin probably plan the photo shoots and the advertising. Evan does the filming or picture taking and editing and Zach pays the bills. It is still hard to believe that the profits from the shop can pay for Z/W & C/E lifestyle + the 3-4 full time employees.

I didn't watch the latest video, but I did read the comments and a lot of them were not kind to Carlin and Evan. And someone commented that they were deleting comments too. It sounds like "adulting" is coming at them fast right now and they are having a hard time coping. But they will get to rest soon, it appears there is another vacation coming up this week or next with Carlin's family. I don't know the details, maybe they were in the video, but some of the comments said for them to have a good time on the upcoming vacation with the Bates.

Wonder if she'll talk about the two biggest bullies in her life, her mom and dad?

What I found interesting in this very old blog post is how Jill wanted to brag on Tim to the other children about his fasting and he asked her not to. But then she made a whole blog post about it. Something that means something to Tim that that he did for his faith (or maybe so his siblings had more to eat) and she can't let it be. She has to share it to make herself look good.

And don't forget that she and Ben want to adopt. Or was that just a storyline for the show?

I bet Jill is texting Tim 4x a day on his honeymoon over this too. I do feel for Tim and Heidi, this is not a good way to start off a marriage. I wish Jill would think of that before dying on her sword. I also don't think Tim is too far removed from his mom. Most of the changes lately were done probably at the request of his new wife, not so much to dismiss his mom. Afterall, he did stay pure until his wedding day like his mom and dad told him too. All this bickering now between the two families has to be heavy on both Tim and Heidi's hearts.

Did she wear a long, white dress to Heidi's wedding?
