hosting thanksgiving + it's been a tricky season (weekly vlog) 🤎

[@newbfitness]

girl you are NOT complaining, postpartum is so hard. 6 months with my first and I am struggling so I for one am thankful for your honesty. You are doing so great and they are so loved. Have an amazing thanksgiving!

[@Erin_29]

It is so hard! My daughter is 20 months old today, and I'm finally starting to feel better/more like myself. It's a journey of sanctification in Christ for sure!

[@socalgirlify]

My second baby is 6 months old and it’s been challenging. But just like you said it’s a season of life, you are not alone. Thank you for being so honest. You are doing great mama 💗.

[@kendrag2327]

My first is 19 months and I can say that the first 12 months was easily the hardest year of my life. Nothing can really prepare you for the ride that is postpartum. I’m now pregnant with my second and although it was planned I’m still terrified. Post partum was hard enough without a toddler in the mix.

TWO VIDEOS IN TWO DAYS?!! IM SO EXCITED

[@Lalaliliann]

Motherhood looks good on you, Jess. I still can't believe you're a mother of 2 now. 🥺💛

[@bellaramos706]

Jess, thank you for showing us your messy, vulnerable, real, and beautiful season of life you are experiencing. I know God is so proud of you :)

[@madi-olivia07]

I wish people would’ve talked more openly about postpartum after I had my son or even before so I knew what to possibly expect and I wouldn’t have felt so alone. I remember feeling so hopeless and helpless but I had no idea why. Thankfully my dr noticed and that’s when I was made aware of how “normal” postpartum actually is. I remember feeling so much guilt because I had longed for a baby following the stillbirth of my daughter 5 years prior so I would beat myself up thinking I shouldn’t be feeling sad or overwhelmed. Keep talking about it Jess because I promise you it’s helping more people than you can even imagine ❤

[@Elle......]

2 vlogs in a row🥰 Happy Thanksgiving🫶🏼

[@lesliebenitez9505]

I’m currently 12 weeks postpartum. I have a little baby girl who I adore. I totally relate to you I have my ups and downs. It’s nice to hear someone be honest about their journey. Motherhood is beautiful but at the same time very challenging. Sending you my prayers. 🙏🏻

[@miahuertas8012]

Love love your vlogs Jess! Even if you’re not consistent on uploading new ones, don’t feel obligated to upload and just enjoy life and be present to your family! ❤

[@charlottebromley7222]

What a wonderful mum you are ♥️

[@ARIELEDANÓBREGADASILVA]

You are a amazing mom, never forget that! And we love you!

[@valerietan1691]

This is such a surprise! 2 vlogs in a week omg so cozy 💛💛

[@toricrane1660]

Having a second has rocked my world! She's a cruisey newborn but juggling a toddler and tiny baby isn't for the faint hearted. You're doing a great job! ❤

[@jessicasteinagel2641]

I’ve been following your videos since 2017 and your creativity has continued to be a ray of sunshine for me. Thank you! Take all the time you need to be a part of your family. That’s what truly matters in life. 💖 Ps- I would love to be part of a Friends thanksgiving.

[@sherincarol9376]

yay!! back to back vlogs!! Happy Thanksgiving 🫶

[@tamaranr22]

It might sound silly but I’m so grateful for you and your vlogs 🥰 they are like a warm hug for me and they make me feel better and sometimes is nice to see that everyone has a journey and feel supported on my journey as well… like relatable idk 😂 I just wanted to thank you for everything you do for me without even realizing it 🥰✨

[@Kvirii]

A new vlog againn! Wow❤we appreciate YOU, Jess.

[@emmacarpenter1133]

Always a good day when I see a cozy Jess video ❤ I’m postpartum right now with a one month old and I have a two year old.. I feel you girl! Keep sharing, you’re not alone!

[@xokelseyxo9238]

Hi, Jess! I have been following your journey since your wedding video. It is such a joy watching you become a mother. You are doing a phenomenal job! I pray that you and Gabe had the most happiest and magical Thanksgiving with your loved ones. ❤

[@kNicolb829]

Postpartum with baby number 2 has been so rough! I was fine until about 6 months and it came in like a truck! You’re doing great mama! ❤ I know it’s hard but thank you so much for sharing

[@belladilullo]

omg thankful for two videos in two days this thanksgiving haha! hope you guys have a wonderful stress-free holiday!🥰

[@isabellalacy9901]

Ahh Jess! I love this so much and you’re such an inspiration to me. You’re such an incredible mom and I love seeing you interact with them. It’s so sweet and I love seeing your day to day life. I hope you have an amazing thanksgiving and I’m so grateful for you. Ilysm and I hope you’re having an amazing day 💕

[@L.O.V.E.CaratStay]

I love your Thanksgiving setup!!! I hope y'all had a wonderful time!! 🧡

[@kiara_mirandah]

Happy Thanksgiving Jess♥ So thankful for two videos in a row, have a beautiful holiday with the fam ,and give yourself some grace, you`re doing it great, postpartum can be hard 🤍

[@kofukua]

Jess we're the same age and I had a little people's school bus as a child too, I can still remember it so vividly and it passed down all my siblings!

[@BrushandBlushbyHina]

Can't believe it's been 7 Years with Jess&Gab 🥹❤️

[@thatscreamerhunna]

Me either

[@mmv3505]

1. Fave dad joke: Me, a 25 year old: I'm hungry My (59 year old) father in the next room: Hey hungry I'm DAD! Makes me laugh everytime. 2. I agree with you on being with Michael for thanksgiving. All I would be thinking about is the dinner party epidode 😂. Other than him, I would love to have thanksgiving with Bree from Desperate Housewives. She's literal perfection AND a chef so you know it'll be delicious. Highly, HIGHLY recommend that show if you have never seen it it is incredible! For reference I am a huge fan of Munk and The Office so we know my tastes are impeccable 👌🏻 ❤

[@christineangelaaa13]

yay for back to back vlogs!!!!!

[@camillevasquez6762]

I missed your vlogs so much, its always calm and cozy so i find them very relaxing💕 Your cleaning/organizing videos are my go to when I'm cleaning my room ❤❤❤

[@larkspurmoon]

[@suburban-bluesss4774]

Also in the thick of postpartum with a baby who is also starting their sleep regression at 3 months. I totally understand where you are coming from. Give yourself grace love, you’re doing great ❣️

Gilmore girls Thanksgiving dinner with Sookie cooking 🤭🤭 i would most definitely like to go to..thank you 😀 love from India.. xoxo ❤

[@vanessa93lynn]

I’m almost 8 months postpartum and I struggled with PPD hard for the first 4 months. Sending you strength❤ for sleep, the only thing that helped me was making sure he was eating enough during the day and getting on a schedule

[@kristinadills2392]

My favorite thanksgiving dad joke is… Which side of the turkey has the most feathers? The outside 😂

[@thaisass7981]

Which TV show would I like to spend thanksgiving dinner? Friends at Monica's place (of course) - cosy, humble but just so full of love and support ❤

[@micaelawood6967]

Love all your videos, please never stop uploading❤

[@savannah.powerss]

[@Mollylogia]

Omg Thanksgiving with Phil Dunphy from Modern Family would be sooo funny haha Happy holidays!

[@thatscreamerhunna]

I love these Vlogs, you’re an amazing mom to your kids. Hope you have an Amazing Thanksgiving.

[@whosmai.]

Loved the video!! Happy thanksgiving!! Also at my Walmart they have little people Jesus characters and are super cute!

[@michellekennedy4426]

Hey Jess,love that you're back posting. My first thought when you asked which fictional character dinner you'd like to attend was Monica from Friends,a chef's thanksgiving dinner,eh,yes please😁.

[@AnakinLamm]

Happy Thanksgiving conte family love u glad to see new videos of u guys especially with the new baby he is so cute congratulations xoxoxo❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@srivaishnavikalidindi3908]

Loving these vlogs, Jess 😍😍😍😍

[@juliahart____]

youre not alone girlie - PP can be SO tough... you will feel normal again!!!!

[@serenadorcas]

i was litterally thinking of michael scott when you asked the question about the thanksgiving dinner haha

[@nathalie2835]

this was such a nice relaxing video😊

[@tiffanygreen7061]

Pp can be rough I get it!!!! You’re doing beautifully! Your home looks peaceful and calm. You got this. You are not alone! With love and support, another fellow mom😍❤️

[@samandzymiller9699]

I’m 3 weeks pp with our third baby ❤ you’re not doing it alone Jess!

[@Shanthi..]

I couldn't believe my eyes ... I thought yesterday's video came up ... Back to back lesgooo...

[@katharinehart9333]

I would love to go to DJ Tanner’s thanksgiving. I’m so sure it would be so thoughtful, fun, and full of laughs.

[@hbaca74]

Sidebar: you and I shared the same due date for your first pregnancy. In a video may you talk on some of the challenges you encounter daily with a 2 year old and how you handle them? I am always trying to be gentler with my son and always want tips and you seem to be graceful on everything!

[@rongomaisweeney]

I’d love to go to thanksgiving with the Dunphys/Pritchetts from modern family lol 😅

[@katialing5557]

I’d want to have thanksgiving at Emily Gilmore’s house. The chaos would be incredible and iconic 😝

[@tess_cim]

I would like to attend Thanksgiving dinner at Monica's from Friends! It always looked so good haha

[@kyleee8]

*dad joke - where do you learn to make banana split? Sundae school. my son learned that at church when he was like two years old and he used to tell everyone at like all the time.* 😂

[@katherinedennison445]

First thought for Thanksgiving Dinner- Gilmore Girls in Stars Hollow 🍁🦃

[@butterfliesonmyskin]

Jess! I love love loveee your content! Lots of love to you from india 🇮🇳❤️

[@evelynperez9690]

Where did you get the stepping stones and the other toys you shared ?

[@andreareyes7080]

Jess, please do not feel like you’re complaining! You’re venting! Postpartum is difficult & it is better to talk about the struggles rather than keeping all the emotions bottled up. 🤍

[@alliahangelica0523]

2 vlogs in a row?! AAAHHHH 🥰🥰🎄🎄🥰🥰🎄🎄

[@ingrid5973]

2 vlogs 2 days in a row? we love to see it!

[@luciaromero1640]

Omggg ❤ two vlogs in a week 🎄🙌🏻🥹

[@noradiaz4923]

I wasn’t able to host thanksgiving at our house, having a toddler and a 4month baby was too overwhelming for me. I don’t have a village. I admire you so much for all you do to keep your social life going. Me, I don’t have the energy 🪫

[@darrenwanamaker3326]

Happy Thanksgiving Jess 🦃🍁🧡🖤

[@strafka_]

Thankful for you!! 💛

[@ewau.426]

Love how Gabe supports you with your cooking ❤️ and how he believes in you ❤️

[@esengorain3569]

Happy Thanksgiving! Can you post the links to the specific toys/items in the kids playroom? Your Amazon storefront doesn’t have most of them.

[@rebecaa7482]

Two videos in less that 24 hours?! This is awesome! 😃

[@blessedbygod4472]

2 videos in one week! OMGGG

[@Calliemcdonald]

I am also having a hard time in the season. Post partum with baby number one but still working full time and a full time premed student. To say I’m in the trenches is an understatement. You are most definitely not alone.

[@annieb180]

Hi Jess!! What book were you reading that made you cry and would you recommend it? 👀 I personally love a book that can evoke strong emotions; good or bad. Makes life interesting! 😅

[@trishachia]

Do you have the link for mac and cheese recipe????

[@Meg-eq2md]

My toddler (2yrs) LOVES her yoto player. 😊

[@HelloMoto_]

Love the jewelry, I love dainty pieces that I don’t need to change either. I don’t know why I picture you eventually changing your engagement ring to a simple solitaire just because you seem more of a simple classy girly

[@arialane5540]

Happy thanksgiving ❤❤❤

[@krystelle2899]

You're doing great Jessica

[@jessicaleblanc3602]

Just finished watching your other Vlog. 😍😍

Michael Scott was my answer to before I even heard yours 😂

[@ninamoyaa]

I would go to Monica's (Friends) thanksgiving! I just knowww the food would be amazing and so would the company 😊

[@abigailhurley9290]

How I met your mothers thanks giving’s would be fun, watching Barney get slapped 😅

[@annabellex3559]

I wanna go to the thanksgiving from Friends or How I Met Your Mother, so Monica's or Lily's ❤
