Mommy/Son Date

We love doing things together as a family, so it’s not uncommon for me to have all three kids with me on outings, play dates, grocery pickup runs and such. But one-on-one kid time is also so important.
In order to get this quality time with each of our kids, Ben and I rotate taking a kid out either for brunch or running errands (and picking out a special treat). I love and look forward to this time so much! It’s a chance to slow down from the daily rush, have some good conversation, and just spend time together. They always have me giggling over the adorable things they say. ☺️

OMG, the way his little face lit up when you gave him the cake pop. He is so beautiful and sweet. He wanted to get a drink for Spurgeon, bless him. 💖

[@cyndidouglas919]

Really love that you don’t hide the floor from view or try to clean up rooms before you film. My house and car are sometimes super clean and pristine. But not usually! And I just love that you share real life. ❤️ eliminate the perfectionist mommy culture being sold to us.

[@miaself5131]

I couldn’t agree more!

[@jen-rn8nl]

“I wanted one for spurgeon” is so cute and kind💖

[@sondrad1839]

Those big blue eyes. He's precious and thoughtful.

[@Megan82Sterling]

I think I use the same logic as Henry with Starbucks drinks! “I’m going to have 38 sips because I’m 38” 🥰

[@FrenchBulldog1]

I will too. 🤣🤣

[@monicawhite8520]

That’s a swell idea! 🤣 Henry is pretty brilliant! I wish I’d thought of that! I’m 40, so 40 sips for me!!! 😁 🤣

[@brandiswain2186]

Right I'll take 31 sips lol

[@fe2369]

😂😂😂

38❤️

I think Henry looks a lot like his cousin Gideon. They are both adorable. You are doing a great job, Jessa, as a mom.

[@maela548]

Your car gives me hope haha. Mine looks just the same, no matter how often I clean it. Thanks for keeping it real! I always enjoy watching your videos and must say that you seem like a great mum. I love how you always compliment and encourage your kids and never say anything negative about them. What I also appreciate a lot about you is that you're so hands on with your diy projects. You set a good example for your kids and especially your daughter. All the best to you:)

[@deedeeneri8202]

I like how Henry says " how about one for Spurgeon " ....love his compassion for thinking of others

[@janellkunkle5169]

Good to see Henry enjoying his mommy time. He sure is a good talker now. God bless you Henry!

[@yuliawellington3005]

That is one sweet 3 year old!!!!! There are so many cute and funny things that Henry said in this video that i dont know where to begin. Its a pure joy watching this video from start to finish. Such a sweet, kind, silly and considered 3 year old. Many adults could learn from this video how to have a wholesome conversation. Thank you Jessa for constant real inspiration❤❤❤Wishing all of your family the strongest health❤❤❤❤❤

[@dakotalundgren3028]

Henry's speech has improved so much! He's such a sweet little boy. One on one time with the littles is so much fun

[@lillianp8900]

I like how your kids aren't zoned out on i Pads. I see this all the time and the kids are addicted to being on them 24/7. I'm wouldn't let my kid stay on an iPad like that, i don't want them to be boring. Letting them play and use imagination is important

[@waterunder3718]

Righttt and they greasy as hands on iPad

[@faithowens4145]

He's so smart! And so sweet! You're such a great mom, Jessa!

Henry, you're a lucky guy! I am a firm believer in one to one time! Race car red is so awesome! Now you get to go home and help dad groom his new beard! Hope the s'mores were as yummy as that cake pop! 😄😉🚘🏁

[@Grandmomof30]

I love how they take turns to take the kids out by themselves so they can enjoy the time by themselves and not everyone vying for mom or dads attention

[@Burkhead_Family]

He’s such a cutie and looks just like Ben. Also, you’re such an amazing momma to your kiddos and I don’t ever want you to doubt yourself on that.

Such a sweetheart! I could watch him all day. His speech is getting so good! This brings back memories when my son was younger and it was a treat for him to be able to sit up front out of his booster seat to eat with me. He also loves cake pops from Starbucks.☺️

[@lilacDaisy111]

It's lovely to have quality time with each child. I miss my little boy so, so much, watching this is kind of masochistic of me. Now, he's 25 and 3 states away. I fantasise about being able to go back in time and re-live his childhood over again. I don't have to advise you to cherish your time with your little ones, because you already do.

[@JavaFirst]

I like how you are teaching your children and interacting with them. This is for Ben. Please consider doing a beard care video. My sweet husband does not take care of his very well and it might be a good influence on him to see the video. I mean maybe he doesn't know how to take care of it properly. I'm not trying to force change upon him just maybe to educate without him realizing it. :)
