Loving all the vlogs! I respect your decisions, Jess. I didn't see the sponsorship version of the vlog but regardless -- sometimes some people will have strong negative (or positive) feelings about something and it's really awesome that you listened to those who did and reconsidered your position on something. Our ability to critically think about something and even sometimes change our minds is a true sign of wisdom, in my opinion. Love you! :)

[@katiewest7424]

Thank you Jess! This is why I’ve followed for so long. You have integrity and you care and it shows. I’m also rewatching this even though I saw it before.

[@tonyamedeiros2034]

I really appreciate how honest you are with your viewers, it's what makes you a standout in the community. I watched it the first time and enjoyed the vlog, now I'll watch it again so I can show my support :))

The vlogs from you and Taylor Wynn are my absolute favourite. Thank you for sharing your life with us.

Thank you for visiting your local library and instilling the love of reading into your kids. My grandma, who was a school teacher, got me and my brother into reading and introduced us to summer reading programs. Your enthusiasm to reading makes my bookworm heart happy. 😊❤️

No idea what the sponsorship was. But Jess you’re always amazing. Was a little confused when I couldn’t watch but I’m glad you did what you felt was right x

[@kshook82]

You’re so amazing Jess. I watched the first one. And definitely watched the second to show support. I don’t agree with the people that had issues with your sponsorship but you always handle everything with such class, grace and humility. You’re the best KZbin influencer! ❤

[@kater0tot1]

What was the brand?

[@ArianeTobin]

I think this was the right decision, fair dues to you for listening to genuine concerns and acting on it. I didn't comment yesterday but I did switch off tbh, happy to be watching now :)

[@emilydumont2869]

Totally relate to the "hamster wheel" of cooking! I wish you could slowly flip through your binder of favorite recipes so I could screen shot and try them all. Always enjoy when you and Tyler share ideas :)

[@jenfarina1892]

Watched yesterday and will probably watch again today while making dinner or something. I'm glad you did what you thought was right based on the feedback. Was certainly not my favorite sponsorship you've done but also everyone needs to be responsible for deciding for themselves whether they want to try or support the product. LONG LIVE LONG VLOGS, sponsored or not! lol

[@yvettealdrich1201]

Ok, glad to know that someone else feels the pain of meal planning and prep for a family. I hated it so much during the pandemic so I spent WAY too much on delivery for a bit. We finally decided to try Hello Fresh to help broaden our repertoire and reignite our willingness to cook at home again. Between that and a new fridge (our old one died over the July 4 weekend) I am much more open to meal planning and cooking again, plus I am making it a time for my husband and I to spend time working on it together.

[@taycharlese]

I respect you losing money so you can honor your subscribers’ concerns! Thanks for re-uploading

[@denay92]

Im late to the party. Do you mind sharing what happened with the original sponsored video?

[@desilynn]

Agree but crazy that 99% of you guys are mad about the sponsorship taking milk from baby calves but USE CRUEL PRODUCTS EVERYDAY. Any makeup or products that are not labeled cruelty free and vegan is ALSO literally paying for cruelty to dogs, monkeys, pigs, bunnies, not just mice. Do not support those brands either if you guys actually cared about animals. Also, if your mad about the old sponsors ethics please make the connection that ALL DAIRY PRODUCTS get to you because their breast milk was stolen from a baby calf. Their milk only comes when they have babies contrary to what you have been told your whole life that cows "need to be milked". The calves are taken to make into veal or into the same process of forcing to have babies to produce breast milk to take away from their babies. Even the happy ones you see on small farms do not stay with their families for long because how else do you think they make money? Please make the connection people that buying anything dairy is supporting pure cruelty :'(

[@elisemiller2244]

Same! What happened?

[@hopeturner3463]

@@denay92 she was sponsored by cow colostrum and talking about its health benefits

[@makeupgrl24]

Have you ever had mexican style zucchini? I make it all the time and its simple and easy and my kids love it on rice. In a pot add zucchini cut bite sized, onion chopped(add as little or as much as you like), one tomato chopped, a pinch of garlic powder, salt & pepper, cover and let it simmer for 8ish mins. Keep an eye on it so you can have the zucchini cooked to your liking. Top with cheese and serve. I typically use whatever cheese I have on hand. Mozzarella, Queso fresco, or the shredded "mexican" style cheese. I know some people add corn as well. Its a super easy recipe.

[@historianlaura]

I must admit I am glad you ditched that sponsor - it did not feel right when I watched first time - I did not read comments or realise you took it down but seems others felt likewise.

Love you and your family and especially the vlogs! I've been watching you for years and I love that you really do read/respond to comments.

The perch on your birdhouse is way too thick for many birds such as chickadees, sparrows and finch who have smaller feet so it may be that they cannot grasp the perch securely. I also noticed that it’s squarish which is not a shape you see birds perching on in nature. Not a lot of square branches out there you know? You may want to try one with a cylindrical perch. I think you’ll have better luck. I think that your new birdhouse is supposed to be cute to the people who bought it and not for the birds who will use it if that makes sense. That being said, it is quite sweet.
