I remember reading about a psychiatrist who said that the majority of her patients were suffering due to consequences of how their parents lived their life as parents. Then one day a man came in troubled by a work situation. When she asked him about his mom, the patient responded with such admiration describing his mother as the happiest person he knew because she just did what she loved and filled her up. She was full of life and traveled when she wanted. She put her soul first and with that, had so much more to give to their family with no regret or resentments. Your beautiful post about your family reminded me of this story. Your salt of the earth essence is what has lifted me on days when I too lost so many friends, family and small business due to the scamdemic. Your pure honesty and playful nature is beautiful. I am not on any social media so I only get to see your Substack. Also love getting to know Denise. Her photos are dynamite! You are dynamite Jessica! So happy your family is healthy and doing well. Blessings.
Thank you, Audrey, for sharing this! It feels extra special to hear from readers who are only keeping up here. I am grateful for your time and attention as a reader. And, I love this story you shared as example. It's all so TRUE. Xx
Congratulations on this milestone! I think I’ve been following you since around whenever you began your home reno project which has been such a treat. You and your husband make a great design team!
I remember I unfollowed you once or twice over a discrepancy on one of your Royal roundups, or something I disagreed with. I am a royalist, so I can get sensitive when info isn’t super accurate, but I’ve come to relax on that. And I’m so glad I came back to your content because your voice has come to mean so much to me!
I so appreciate your ability to remain diplomatic but still have your own beliefs and values and not be afraid to state them, or change them. We have to be able to talk about what we believe even if others don’t like it or disagree. In a crazy world where everyone is so offended and affected by what other people believe, I’m actually crediting you for helping shift that back to what it used to be. I have to be able to say I am Latina and a Republican without people accusing me of being racist and hateful or stupid. It’s insane!
I continue to subscribe to your paid content because I really believe in the work you are doing. I don’t always have time to read it since I am in law school, but I support your voice nonetheless! Thanks so much for your work, your voice, and inviting us into your life and experiences!!!!!
I love this confession! And I respect you more for it. I've done the same thing many times - it's easy to get heated and unfollow when it comes to things and topics and people we are passionate about.
Okay now, how great was this? So much in life comes through gratitude. Thank you for recognizing the hand we all play in helping you reach your goals. Also thank you for the things you don’t owe us! Most writers keep themselves at bay, never sharing personal glimpses. You are different. You are real. And I love that you feel your foundation so well that you share family and friends with us too. We’ve gotten to know JBB and Denise well enough to recognize them on the street and gush if we see them in person! Plus the boys have become almost our boys too! We root for them and hope all your hopes with you and Mike. Thank you for really listening to that friend in the beginning, and being brave enough to go for it. May it continue to be a worthy endeavor as we enjoy the journey with you. ❤️🙏❤️
Your writing style is very easy to read and colorful. I definitely hear your "voice" when I read your articles. I did not start following you until the Johnny Depp trial and I think you allowed me to see a version of the media that I did not really understand. Thank you for "teaching" us some truths about MSM and presenting an alternative. I have loved all your coverage of the campaigns- Kennedy and Trump. You have a beautiful family and it shows through photos and writing. As a parent, grandparent, and retired teacher, I love that you and Mike treat and raise your boys as individuals. Something tells me that they are nice, respectful boys. It is sad that what Fauci did has torn our families and country apart. thank you for your level headed style and introducing us to new and noteworthy people!
I could not love your family more. ❤️ Congrats on your substack success! Independent news sources are so critical today. The rest of the world is just now catching on... Proud to say that you are my ONLY paid substack subscription! Worth every penny, and I really look forward to it!! Independence Day - the perfect day to celebrate! 🇺🇲
What a wonderful read! Thank you for bringing clarity and truth in a world void of it. Also, my daughter, Kerrigan, is 8 and also has her eyes set on the white house. Perhaps a Hayes and Kerrigan RNC ticket. :)
I can't express how much joy it brings me to see read about your family thriving and reaching new milestones together. Your decision to follow the advice given to you has truly led to a wonderful journey for all of you. I have seen the growth and development of your children through your posts, and it always impresses me how talented and gifted they are. I have no doubt that they will achieve great success in whatever they choose to pursue in life. They have the best role models ever. How could they not.
Your husband deserves all the admiration for his support and dedication to taking care of the kids while you focus on your career. It truly takes a village to raise a family, and you both are doing an incredible job at balancing your responsibilities. Your dedication to creating informative, educational, and entertaining content is not only inspiring but also greatly appreciated by all of us who follow your journey.
I am truly happy for you and your family, and I look forward to hearing about all the amazing things that the future holds for all of you. Keep shining bright and sharing your wonderful stories with us all! You truly are a wonder Jessica, thank you!
Congrats Jessica. I’ve been a faithful follower since your house Reno days - I’m still coveting your little bathroom with the pebble floor for myself ;-)
For me now, you fill the gap left from my 90’s gossip days but now with a more mature edge but keeping a tint of fashion and nosiness in there. Thank you for just doing what you do really!
I love the boys updates too - I love how they’re all so different. Top marks in your parenting skills! With love xxx
Good on you,, fitting you should release this on Independence Day, considering you are a neutral arbiter of opinion and news ( rare bird indeed). Keep on being who you are and not what people want you to be, congrats
This was so good to read. I’m sorry I didn’t follow you during your family ig era but I probably would have quit knowing you loved Hillary… grateful you don’t now
