What's wrong with looking like Abbie? She's not Helen of Troy, but she also doesn't look like Quasimodo either. She looks pretty everyday and normal to me, so it doesn't seem like it would be a great

I don’t mind snarking on these people at all about their beliefs and odd behaviors but everyone’s weddings are going to be different and evoke criticism about just about all of it. I would bet a nicke

There was every kind of abuse (emotional, physical, sexual, verbal) in our house growing up.  It has affected all of us our entire lives.  Forgiveness will never be in the cards for our monster.  My b

Such cuties with their personalities shining.

IIRC, Abbie is the least Fundyish wife married into the family. Lets hope she and her family are a good influence on JD.

Lets hope Gracie and Charlie's eyes sparkle in all future photos.

Abbie's family is IBLP. She has siblings with 6/7 kids. But they're not skirts only or any of that garbage.

I wonder if these kids will be homeschooled? Does Abbie still work at that hospital that Joy recently delivered in as a labor unit nurse?

I don't think we've gotten any more info beyond that photo of Abbie in scrubs.  Since JD, being self-employed, has flexible hours, maybe he takes care of the kids while she's working.  I wonder if it's full-time or part-time.

This is interesting

The house John got way back on the show and that he still owns, has a few storage units on the property.

He requested a zoning change in late 2021 to have the property re zoned to storage and warehouse space. It was deemed unnecessary because the original units were grandfathered in to old zoning rules.

He was told the original storage could stay, but the changes he wanted were not approved because they didn't fit current zoning. He was in violation of zoning and must remove all RVs, 4 wheelers and other things stored outside the original buildings. All storage has to be contained in the original units with the doors closed when not in use.

John said he requested the change because it was needed for him to attain a business license.

12/23 John forms new LLC for the property.

Sweet Duggar pal Tom Joseph has the property currently listed for sale for $599,999. (Updated 1/6/24)  John paid $126,000 in 2012 and has been renting the house to other for many years.

Abbie has a big announcement tomorrow! And she says it's not what you think.

Guesses?

MLM. The only thing people will assume is a pregnancy, so unless happy fundie divorce announcements have become a thing (we should be so lucky), it has to be an MLM, probably something in the "wellness" category so she can use her nursing license to sell bullshit bullshit cures.

I think she's going on the next season of Dancing With the Stars. 

The fact that she has to say "it's not what you're thinking" is sad.  She could be going back to school for a Master's degree but if she's asking us to guess,  everyone would just think she's pregnant again because procreating is pretty much what Duggar women are famous for.

Yep, it's a curling product:

When my hair starting loosing curl after I had kids I didn’t know what to do with it! I started using a wand to try and re-create the beautiful curls I used to have. I tried monat out of desperation and kind of a last ditch effort to see if it would help my hair like they claimed it would, I have been OVERJOYED to find it actually works! I love my curls again!

I guess no one proofed it before she posted it.

Wondering why a shampoo would want to claim it is gluten free. After all, you don't EAT the stuff. . . (Um, this might say something about the intellectual capabilities of those who use it.)

It depends on your type of allergy.  Many people cannot tolerate gluten in the air.  I avoid the bread aisle at the grocery store because the gluten in the air affects my breathing. I avoid products that contain gluten.

FYI to anyone who eats gluten-free.   McDonalds changed their recipe for french fries a couple of years ago.  Their fries are now coated in a gluten-containing seasoning  that makes them crispier.  I found out the hard way the last time I went to McDonalds.  I ended up in the Urgent Care needing an albuterol treatment.

Abbie is "loosing" her curls.

As much as I absolutely cringe when someone uses loose when they mean lose, she's not necessarily using incorrect grammar here.  There are different types of curls that occur naturally and loose curls are one of them, so are tight ringlets.  Abbie very well could have had her normally tight ringlets become looser over time due to her pregnancies and caring for her children.  And now that she is spending time doing her hair, she now has her tight ringlets back.  I am not going to credit Monat for this change.  What changed is Abbie taking care of her curls.  She's spending the 30-90 minutes necessary to wash, condition, detangle, coat her hair in gel, then coax her curls into shape using whatever brush or comb she prefers, drying her hair by whichever method she chooses (diffuser, plopping in an old tee shirt, airdrying, or another method I am currently blanking on), and finally breaking the cast with her hands and maybe an oil.  She may have even sprung for a satin or silk bonnet to sleep in plus a matching pillowcase to extend the life of her curls.  When it comes to curls, method trumps product.

I always had naturally curly hair. Then it seemed overnight, I "lost" the curl. I did dye my hair but I don't know if that would cause it. I ended up doing perms for a couple of years. After my son was born, I got my curl back! However, I became allergic to hair dye!

After my second child my hair went from VERY wavy to stick straight.  I loved it! It took about 3 or 4 years before the wave started coming back.  

MLM, LOL.
