Haha. Funny, but true. She continues to shrink too.

Poor Amy. Thanks for bringing that over here so I could read it. It doesn't sound good. I do think Jill will post about it once she can write how much she is helping Amy or the family in some way. In her last post, this is the part that got to me. She wrote: "Even when I am in the midst of a good day, I start to think it is MY goodness that deserves praise, and that defeats me because I know it is my ugly pride rearing it's ugly head again. Then, I wonder what was the point of trying so hard that day ...." First off, it still hasn't occurred to her that perhaps everything she does isn't out of "goodness" and she never even says that perhaps everything she does isn't good. Second off: if she can't think that she is good for all she does then she doesn't want to do it. Her poor children.

I don't think KJ and Gil are making the payments. The way KJ was reacting and the way Gil does things, they wouldn't accept that. (Although it does appear that Gil knew about them getting her a car and what was going on.) Travis went on tour last summer and this Dec and he has been writing songs too. There is money in that. He's new to this, but I'm sure he isn't doing it for free. Maybe this is where the disposable income for the car came from? It is a very extravagant gift from a young daughter, but it's nice to see this couple use their money to help out others instead of jetting off across the world.

Wow, well, ok. A very nice gesture by your 24 yr old daughter.

This was my thought too. How awful to have 6 kids, know you have to move by the end of this month and don't have plans yet. I sure hope they are just acting coy about their plans because they don't want to disclose them yet. This move to FL didn't really serve them well, did it. I do think Kelly is hounding church people to help find them a home to rent while Erin continues to try and get her way to Papa Bill and Mama Jane's ranch. If the BatesSistersBoutique is doing as well as Whitney, Zach, Carlin and Evan make it seem, then Erin is probably kicking herself for leaving.

Because it's all so fake now. I don't even want to snark on it because it brings them attention, which is exactly what they want. I'm not stepping away from here ... just from them.

I'm honestly flabbergasted. 1st class to Dubai? I guess they really are rolling in the money. I mean, how many places have they been in just the last 6 months and now this. I don't know if I could swing 1st class to Dubai and I am way older than these two. In the meantime, Whitney is taking her mom, Bradley and Kaci to NYC. I think it's time for me to step away.

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.
