I walked in & CAUGHT my daughter....

[@Danabeardmore]

The way you teach your children about things even adults should know how to do, but don't is amazing. I wish my mom would've taught me like that.

[@lisainthesky8]

Jesssfam vlogmas is one of my favorite christmas traditions! I rewatch the old christmas videos every year and i love the ones from when the kids are toddlers ❤

[@sarah_chalk]

For your throat: Hot, but not too hot drink of choice Honey (not the doggo lol) & Lemon. For Pandy’s nails: There are “no bite” polishes to help dissuade it. As well as the nail strengthening polishes that make it harder to successfully bite them. Both nail biting & picking, and picking at the skin around the nails are actually incredibly common ADHD / ND self soothing “stims”. There’s a solid chance that he may not realize that he’s even doing it until it’s too late, or pointed out to him. Gentle redirection when you notice him doing it will also make him aware of it. I’d personally suggest offering a couple different small fidgets that can be used to keep his hands busy with something else while that urge is there. These obviously aren’t OSFA solutions (and is being written while this ADHD human is ≈1/3 asleep haha) and are sheerly suggestions based on my own experiences. Ultimately, you two have to work together to figure out what will work best. I know you’ll get there 🙂

[@elliebaker6875]

Was just about to say Hot drink, Lemon, and Honey!! Glad to know others know the trick! 😂😊

[@isagcolsa]

yeaaah i just had to bandaid up several fingers bc i pick at the skin around the nail and they're pretty nasty :/

[@tinabuchanan3780]

They have no bite nail polish on Amazon

[@abbystephens9766]

No bite stuff doesn’t work for me because I just bite.

[@Mar-ug3er]

Agreed the no bite nail polishes have helped so many people I know. Unfortunately for me it doesn’t work cuz I constantly pick off any nail polish on my nails☹️💀💀

[@cynthialandry1052]

As a figure skating coach I can’t stress enough how important a helmet is. One fall can be fatal ❤

[@fungirl1121]

Totally agree with having a helmet while ice skating!! Probably like 8-10 years ago I went ice skating with a friend for his bday, he fell and bounced his head off the ice and ended up with a concussion. It was super scary he didn’t remember falling!

[@mcrchickenluvr]

Helmets can actually make concussions worse on a solid surface like that.

[@VictoriaKellySwartz]

​@mcrchickenluvr 🤔 Helmets won't prevent concussios. But helmets can reduce the severity and duration of concussion symptoms.

[@kash7634]

Yes, get a thick/ wide straw (if you don’t have one then a normal straw works okay) fill half a glass with water and blow bubbles into it for a few hours (keep changing the water out over time) this massages your vocal cords. A lot of artists/ actors do this before and after performances

[@brittanyfletcher1599]

As a Canadian watching you ice skate outside in December with t shirts seems like a fever dream 🤣

[@JustSoph04]

[@Joyce-j2k]

It's not normal in the States but it happens

[@lillianluong2615]

Hopefully you get better soon and your voice comes back to normal.Don’t want your voice to get worse to the point you lose it completely with sounds and more. Get well soon

[@natashaswain7478]

I hope 🙏🏽 your voice gets better very soon. This was a great video. It looked like so much fun and I love how you all spend family time together.

[@morgana7544]

If they don't offer a helmet, you should bring them for your kids! Kids should wear helmets when they skate (I say as someone who grew up skating in a place where it's a very common hobby)

[@ShauntayBrooke]

You handle everything so good Jess! You’re such a good mama! 💓

[@JoofSisters]

Jesss I am so inspired by you and how you can stay calm in every situation 😊

[@Chronically_me_finn]

I’m a theater, and choir kid one of the best things for your voice is lemon and honey no dairy

[@CharneeBrianna]

Addy is definitely your twin always have been. I remember the day she was born she looked just like u then. Now that she is older it's even more crazy but adorable.

[@anneahlefeld1989]

Everyone needs their skates tighter. Their ankles shouldn't bend like that. It's easier to skate if they are tighter also. I'm glad everyone had fun.

[@Rosewolf29]

XD not even freaking out over your child with a sharp implement in their hand cutting their own hair. Respect. If there’s water on ice, Don’t skate on it!! It’s way too dangerous, why didn’t they shut that down? Side note, if you want to cut the front pieces of hair, take the hair and angle it to the opposite side of the face and cut at an angle 📐 downward. Brad Mondo for the win. Also, there’s a nail polish that is perfect for nail biters. A friend used it cause she always bit her nails and it got her to stop.

[@laurawall2827]

Regarding the nail biting. Show him pictures of the possible infections , potentially look at anxiety triggers. also adhd can cause the nail biting.

[@VictoriaKellySwartz]

Helmet 100%. I fell skating and had a concussion and whiplash. Not fun.

[@morgandavis97]

After dealing with a cancerous tumor of my vocal nerve & having it removed.. I'm never complaining about losing my voice AGAIN. I didn't have a voice for almost 3 months afterward 😢. But on the positive side, I just finished my last treatment (hopefully) back in October!!!

[@cgy-paige]

I love you so much keep up the good work!

[@RedBaddieBaker]

There is nail polish that is clear and if Landon bites his nails it will taste nasty it isn’t toxic but it helped my cousin stop

[@jaidahbieber]

My favorite fidget for nail biting is a tangle. Helped keep my hands busy anytime I got nervous and wanted to bite my nails!

[@TessesKingdom]

Jess I’m sorry you lost your voice I know how you feel. Last year I lost my voice for the first time ever in my life. So I’m a singer and I got sick I thought I felt better but it turns out I didn’t so I sang thinking I was all better then ended up loosing my voice for two weeks!!!! It was at the worst time because I needed to get record my Christmas cover but couldn’t, it was pure torture because singing is my life, it’s the only thing I’m good at, so without it I felt hopeless! So now whenever I’m sick I don’t sing until the sickness has completely passed I have learned my lesson. I don’t get sick often. I just remember when I decided to try to sing after two weeks I sang “true that he’s no Prince Charming, but there’s something in him that I simply didn’t see.” And I remember that it was the best I have ever sang it before and it was just an amazing feeling, now I take care of my voice. Moral of the story your voice will get better just give it time to heal don’t force it

[@amethystamanda]

I used to be the WORST nail biter and even would bite my lips and cheeks. Keeping my nails painted helped a lot but I didn’t really grow out of it until adulthood and I think the reason being that I learned how to manage my anxiety in better ways.

[@suzyashby8777]

Wow , Landon did Amazing. ❤❤❤

[@bethrice1826]

Nail biting is an anxiety issue. Most people don’t realize it. If they are nervous or bored

[@taylorstrom7574]

I’ve always had a nail bitting habit. I know Landon’s a boy but what I do is get acrylic nails and that helps me not to bite my nails. After I take them off, I got to paint my nails for me not to bite them and it helps.

[@ericameyer691]

I hope your voice gets better soon jess!

[@koriannder]

I agree with the nail biting “polishes”. It’s helped several of my cousins and nephew. It tastes so gross. Didn’t take them too long. Just keep it up. If they start up again, it’s a hard habit to break, then start putting back on again. I think Target had three different kinds.

[@hollyMPayne81]

I love your family videos! I look forward to them all of the time! Thank you for sharing ❤ Merry Christmas!

[@Chippitychips]

Hope you get your voice back soon!!!

[@afton_miller_vlogs]

Jess! Buy Strong Will nail quail to stop biting nails. It works WONDERS

[@ashleetomlinson7049]

You and addy are twins. She does so good with her make up.

[@suzyashby8777]

I was just going to agree with you on that. Addy is so cute. Def Jess mini me. ❤❤❤

[@ravengurl92]

I want to see how the kid’s Christmas trees turned out. Also try putting honey in your tea, it’s good for your throat

[@aimerlink8817]

The fact that I was binge watching your channel like an hour ago.

[@Andrea0621limon]

use a spoon of honey helps the throat

[@avacarroll9465]

So I’m an figure skater and usually when the ice is wet it just means that it’s melting so we don’t usually use that part of the ice to keep it less damaged

[@WhiskersWheeks]

Ohh no Jess! drink honey lemon tea! hope you get your voice back soon

[@JustHopeHoop08]

Yesss!!! Super good for you and will help your voice heal!

[@sweetangel396]

for your sore throat, eat a table spoon of honey and eat a popsicle and you can gargle warm salt water and with the nail biting issue he could put some bitter nail polish

[@emeliashearer5858]

I used to bite my nails and to help I started putting nail polish on them in colours I liked. I wouldn't want the paint to chip off so I stopped. Also nail polish tasted gross. I know there are some like oil things that taste bad that sometimes work.

[@Danceitout_go]

Addie is so cute. I love your kids. They are so respectful and responsible. I wish I lived with you. You are so kind and generous I feel like you would like to be inside Gods creation with all these kids

[@hcoco938]

We need a hair curling tutorial!

[@Soccer444-s3d]

1:36 Addie’s eyes look so blue🤩!! They look so pretty

[@SuperMissblueeyes]

Lots of hot honey & lemon drinks &/or honey & lemon lozenges, as well as steam inhalation will really help your throat & voice. As both a singer & an advanced first aider, these are my go to.

[@monaseverydaymoments4480]

Hi, what is the thing called in the roller thingo that you put on both of your hair please. Is it for fly away hairs? And what's it called.

[@juliebaum7648]

I’d like to know too!

[@SarahW2007]

It’s a wax stick for hair

[@monaseverydaymoments4480]

Thank you

[@EmilyMay-k6y]

I’m sure you’ll see everyone else’s comments but for your throat honey lemon tea and for nail biting nail polish or put moisturiser on his hands so it tastes bad

[@gingerl2995]

Hot tea and local honey helps a bunch. Merry Christmas!

[@Casx96x13]

14:11 bitter tasting nail polish!! And spinner rings/ fidgets. For me it’s a sensory thing and redirecting myself with a fidget helps. Also sunflower seeds because it replicates the hand to mouth movement Edit to add: sometimes I don’t even consciously realize I’m biting my nails until they bleed like Landon’s. It’s so weird it’s like I space out sometimes. I’ve been working on mindfulness activities like puzzles, paint by number and just trying to be more in the now instead of in my head if that makes sense. I hope all of these tips combined can help!

[@ss.12121]

i was just gonna say that the ail polish really works it makes him not really want to hire his nails

[@sarahelizabethbeauty7664]

Show him how many germs live under your nails!! That was enough for me when I was a kid 🤮

[@cveaves71481]

I didnt stop biting my nails until i started getting fake ones put on. Lol

[@kitcattyio]

For Landon's nail biting problem you can put clear nail polish on so he doesn't try to bite his nails anymore.

[@cindyallison6680]

Oh my goodness, one of your days of logmist has to be a silent film of you guys doing things but you just hold up cards that say things on them.That would be amazing.I would definitely watch that

[@AliciaLynn2]

Hot tea with honey and lemon for your voice and for Landon’s nail biting they make this oil you can put on their fingers that’s bitter and doesn’t taste good that is supposed to deter them from biting.

[@ashleyy.bubbless]

to this day im still the worst nail bitter, get him a pic toy, its about picking and keeping him distracted, they have these like silicone molds w beads that you can pick out and you can remelt and put the beads back in so its reusable

[@amyestes9826]

Would’ve been cool for her to let the kids Vlog since she couldn’t talk! 😂 I hope you feel better soon Jess!! 😊

[@nicoles7249]

Warm tea like peppermint tea with honey works really good. Now nail bitin I had that issue so bad to the point I’d get a small infection from it but my momma took me to the nail salon and they put clear acrylic On my real small baby nails for maybe 2 months straight to get a fill in or get a new “set” and I’ll be honest ever since then I haven’t bit my nails or had the urge to bite em. Feel better soon puddin pop. Tons of love from Tn ❤

[@bienemonrose4ever]

you should wear a scarf when your throat is hurting 🧣

[@spaceboundstarrr]

my husband bites his nails so much, I even noticed a clear coat of nail polish helps.

[@kyliethorsen3976]

To help with your voice drink lemon juice and lemon this should help😊

[@vanessanatal381]

Both my girls stopped biting their nails or skin when they started ADHD meds.Maybe if he keeps a fidget toy with him it will help.

[@Momma_of_choasx3]

There is a clear bitter nail serum you can for nail biting

[@ilTHfeaa]

addie is growing up so fast 😭 her makeup is better than mine like what do you mean she knows how to do her makeup better than me (a 29 year old woman who like never wears makeup bc im awful at it)

[@Singersavannah0]

I hope you feel better soon jesss

[@meiraloraduncan943]

Jess they make a type of nail polish that has a bitter taste if you try to bite your nails. Wal-Mart used to have it. Amazon and Sally's Beauty supply might also have it. Try hot tea with honey . The Republic of Tea has a throat coat tea that helps. You can also try using throat drops like Ricola. I lost my voice completely when I was working in an elementary school while finishing up my teaching degree during the part called blocking. It took forever to get it back. My vocal cords were badly damaged during a 10hour surgery that was2 spinal surgeries done back to back as a result of life threatening complications during and after the surgery I was hospitalized for a month and couldn't speak above a very quiet whisper for almost a year. It will never go back to how it was before which sucks because I can no longer sing, which I loved to do. My voice goes out all the time which is annoying a royal pain. Both my airway and esophagus were also severely damaged which made swallowing and eating anything that wasn't soft or liquid extremely difficult and I frequently got choked and still do. Your voice will come back you need to rest it as much as possible.

[@itstreyalexander25]

try lemon and honey in your tea, works wonders

[@jenniferstine198]

Addie looks so cute and SO MUCH OLDER with her make up at the beginning of the video 🙂

[@mariawood9491]

I hope you get to feeling better soon I love all of your vlogmas videos. For your throat try some hot tea, honey and lemon it should help. And for the nail biting try to put hot sauce it helped with my child biting her nails.

[@BrightestBlessings7899]

To get your voice back and soothe your larynx, have hot water with fresh lemon juice and raw honey. It helps Amazingly!

[@Katelyn.mc044]

Eat honey and drink WARM tea ❤❤

[@meganshinfield4831]

Love the videos and usually a silent watcher but just an FYI in case you haven’t seen but having claw clips in your hair while in the car can be dangerous if a crash happens as it can go into your skull. On a lighter note I hope you all have an amazing Christmas 🎄

[@carlaroy1763]

There so many things to worry about with your kids but that shouldn’t be one of them.

[@Reese-t1d]

I loveeeee your videos so much!

[@tracymontgomery1266]

I feel like this happens to you at least once a year. Maybe go see an ENT and have your adenoids checked, they could be part of the problem

[@isabellawagner3444]

I use honey lemon and cut up garlic small. Hot water 😊

[@jordansnider8378]

I swear by throat coat tea! It helps so much

the only thing that has helped me is getting gel on my nails. also trimming them once a week and then filing may help, it has helped me before too

[@srbusic]

I don’t know if you have this in the USA (I‘m from Germany) but I lost my voice once for a week and used some lozenges named „GeloRevoice“. But I‘m sure there would be a similar one😊 It did not taste very good but it helped a lot!

[@samsfam2023]

On Amazon there a kinda like a cream or ointment but it’s call control it my daughters doctor suggested it to me bc she bites her thumb and she told me she uses it for her daughter bc she sucks her thumb still at night and it works when you first use it I think it smells kinda like Vicks but after it’s on she won’t stick her thumb in her mouth you just have to be consistent with is
