All those kids and no toys, indoors or outdoors.  Just that horrible cemetery garden.

They don’t even have a swing set or just a swing hanging from a tree branch. 😢

It should be illegal to use a filter when you’re trying to sell a cosmetic product.

Agreed, it’s false advertising.

It is sad the Rods kids have no toys, but now that I think of it, other than Jessa's kids, it seems most of the Duggar and Bates kids have little to no toys either.

Carlin and Josie's girls must have more than a few freebies, yet they're rarely shown playing with them. Giddy has a few trucks and the Dillard boys have a few large yard toys that Cathy bought them.

What's up with that? Is it because the kids always come in third? Bedrooms void of decorations, no toys and in the case of the Rod kids, rags for clothes.

The girls have baby dolls.  The little Rod girls were given (grifted) very expensive "real baby" dolls.  We have seen the Duggar little girls with baby dolls.  Training can't start too soon.  But I have never seen evidence of other toys.  No legos, no puzzles, no trains.  Oh, yeah. I forgot finger painting on the wood table top.

Fortunately, Jill's magic cream pictures look completely fake. I hope no one would think a cream could make their face this blurry in real life. It's like the very old Hollywood movie trick of smearing the camera lens with petroleum jelly.

Dolls make sense for the girls in this lifestyle. What would be the equivalent for the boys? Mini-pulpits? 

[BitterApple]

It pains me to say this, but Jill has gorgeous eyes. If her styling was updated and she wasn't a bigoted asshole, she'd be an attractive lady.

When Duggar pal Sierra isn't lying about all the folks commenting on her having "too many" kids, she is a pottery beast. In less than two years she went from learning how to use a pottery wheel to having her own garage studio. She just completed a 200 mug order. Sierra also went from having a smallish garden to a Jana sized garden in the last two planting seasons. And she homeschools/moms 7 kids.

The Duggar/Bates/Rod women combined do less than Sierra does.

[ginger90]

[laurakaye]

Everyone smile for the camera and pay no mind to the little baby on the floor who might be picking up dust bunnies and pennies and putting them into her mouth.

I'm speculating, of course, but why not pick up the baby and include her in the picture?

These people are so freaking odd.

I just looked at Sierra's website and her stuff is really cute. If she wasn't sold out of that chicken coffee mug, I would've bought one.

But the big question is, is she still doing chocolate dipped strawberries?

The new local friends also host a fellowship family camp that has families perform. the Rods are not listed for the one in June, but I would put money on Jill angling to have the family listed on the next one.

Also the husband owns a logging business. I wonder if that is maybe where Jonathan is working.

I would hate to know that the only thing someone had to comment about me was that I had cleaned their bathroom! And she didn't even say anything complimentary about how well they did it. And Debi claims to love both the families! Couldn't she have at least used some of the "fundy speak" like they have a heart for Jesus or they are sweet natured, loving, kind............something,  anything better than " you cleaned my bathroom" . The bathroom of all rooms!!!

Or even make the bathroom cleaning a funny story.

[YupItsMe]

Maybe “cleaning the bathroom” is a euphemism for something else, such as a punishment or training or torture of some sort?

I occasionally visit Sierra’s IG.  She can’t ever be accused of being lazy, that’s for sure, and I don’t think she half-ass homeschools either.  Sierra has a tendency to start one project and then leaves it to start a different project.  I don’t know if she bores easily or runs out of money or what, but she’s hit pay dirt with her pottery.  Her pottery appears to be in high demand, and she almost always sells out of any pottery piece she’s making.  She’s also very creative and she has a good eye.  Sierra appears to be a good mother, and her kids don’t have to sit at home all day every day bored to tears.  Sierra and Mark allow their kids to do fun kid stuff a lot, unlike another couple I follow (B and J).  Speaking of kids, it’s about time for Sierra to get pregnant again.

You can message Sierra, let her know you want one and she’ll make it for you at no extra charge.  She does a lot of custom orders.

I don’t think that’s about her husband. She says it’s David’s story but shows her husband’s name as Andrew in her bio.

It's not surprising that Jill hangs out with the Pearl's. I'm sure she uses their methods of 'Discipline' too.  Are the Pearl's advocates of starving kids?

I don't know about starving them, but a quick peek at their FB page leads me to believe using kids for slave labor is a thing.

I have a few pottery mugs that I paid 40.00 for. They are a well crafted item, unique and should last for years. I buying them I supported individuals instead of major companies. It is  labor intensive , creative work.
