Not ALL Rainbows and Unicorns | Life Update & GOODWILL Thrift With Me | Reselling

[@sflamer1258]

What a great Momma! Stand up for your child and thank you for sharing this difficult situation. You go girl!

[@lisawolf8962]

Thank you. Thank you for sharing the parts of your life that are really “Nunya Business” (as we like to call it in our family). Your willingness to give us a peek into your life and show the world the non-rainbows and non-unicorns in a way that is just about you being willing to be vulnerable (versus so many social media people who are all about sensationalizing their lives for the “clicks”) is what endears you to your fans.

[@kathleencordle4794]

I'm glad it all worked out for you.

[@beverlyethridge5084]

My husband and I use the same phrase 😁

[@lesliejohnson7247]

Jocelyn, when I was in my 30’s, we were in business, I was pregnant, on mat leave but returned to work, the business failed and my mom died when my daughter was 4 months old (cancer). I follow a couple of women who are crazy busy, like you are. Like I was. I *know* that your life is intense and incredibly busy. But what pleases me beyond measure is that you keep on having fun with what you’re doing AND you keep it positive to us. I’m amazed at how well you do that. To me that’s what makes you so interesting. When you said you were going to court, I thought they had your vandal and you were testifying against him. (One can hope, huh?) I’m so glad that court was easy on you and the judge just did what was best for Ashton. I’m also glad that you’re rid of that ex. Someone who tries to get his son’s money doesn’t belong in your life! At least now, if you have to deal with him, it won’t be clogged up with that! I’m betting he doesn’t spend much time with his kids though. 😭 There are some here that have no concept of what you do. They think it’s easy because YOU make it look so. I have no idea of filming each day, editing, getting it posted and doing *everything* else, especially being a mom! But I know just that is a lot. And that’s only a part of your day! I am a religious watcher. I don’t comment often, but I just wanted to say that a whole lot of us KNOW how hard you work. We appreciate you and your attitude to life. Thanks for sharing just a tiny bit!

[@LindaKayHolevas]

Very well said!! 👏👏👏

[@slj91w]

I also admire Jocelyn's savvy and hard work, making a business out of doing what she loves.

[@Emovando]

Girl, you are not alone. What an amazing mom to Ashton, Juliet and Mini-drew! My sister ex did something similar, although he did get all the kids money and it was all gone before my sister even knew. She had to start from square one with two teenagers. My FIL also has ASL so I feel you. *Hugs* give those kiddos an extra squeeze tonight.

[@jodietester2415]

Hello sweet girl!! Thank goodness Ashton has you to look out for him . I'm sorry you're juggling so much, I've often wondered how you multi task as well as you do. You my friend are one of the strongest most amazing women I've ever seen. You know I'm in awe of your endless knowledge and the fact that you've included the kids in the business is teaching them skills that are going to help them in the future is just incredible!!! You truly are an incredible Mother, and anyone with eyes can see that. Keep that head held high and straighten that crown, your killing it!!!

[@laurensharkey5271]

I think the majority of your followers are loyal and think of you as a friend. We wish nothing but the best for you. Sending lots and lots of positive vibes 💕💕

[@shannon_w.]

I thought my ex was bad! Wow! Thank God Ashton has a Mom like you to fight for him! Oh and Congratulations on the baby ❤️

[@HorseluvrWN]

I liked you before seeing this video….watched a lot of others. Now however, I fell in “ love” with ya after watching this. Now you seem so much more real and I thank you from the bottom of my heart for sharing part of YOU!

[@daisyy99]

Thank you for your candor. It is hard to be a mom, business woman and partner. You are handling your roles with love and caring.

[@ljjohnson6600]

I just discovered your videos a couple weeks ago while I was recovering from Covid, and I am addicted !!! I love to thrift more than anything !!! Glad your court thing went well.........:)

[@shirleywashington4969]

Hey despite the fact that “we” don’t know you personally,for those of us who follow you we’ve come to care, so thank you for sharing, hope doing so gives you a sense that you’re not the only woman who has “been there”, and like many who have we are Stronger than we realize esp. when we are fighting for our children… 🙏🏼 ❤️

[@k.d.1050]

Congratulations on winning the case. When my parents got divorced my Dad cleaned out my savings account to buy a Harley. So I know how that feels. People can be spiteful & selfish. I really hope you don't have to deal with your Ex in the future now that everything is settled. Ashton is lucky to have a kick-ass Mom that's willing to stand up for him. Also thank you for inviting us into your personal life.

[@bunnymomjulie6719]

I hope you NEVER equate YOUR value with how your father behaved. Some people were never cut out to be parents of humans. Xoxo

[@JenniferHayesJVG]

Girl I never thought your life was rainbows and butterflies. No one's is . You got this court thing 💪

[@TheThriftMomma]

Your doing the right thing. If he can't get his life together your son should not have to loss out on something his grandfather left him. Keep your head up, everything will fall into place.

[@terrywilliams3372]

Hope things go well in court. We all have personal garbage. And we all handle as best we can.

[@chrissytwiztid-lette8785]

Thank you for sharing the details of your life. I know life isn’t always rainbows and unicorns, but you always have a smile and a light-heartedness about you. I appreciate your honesty and all your knowledge!

[@paulettedutcher2093]

Jocelyn I’m so glad you’re day had such a solid ending. I’m also glad you have Andrew in your life you two seem to compliment each other.

[@veronicabrandolino1823]

Thank you for sharing. Some people get depressed thinking people on the internet have this perfect life. You have helped those people!

[@mrshomer3218]

Andrew is awesome and you two are great together. Yeah, justice served. Now on to a happy future.

[@MoonRaven777]

You really didn’t have to tell us,dear Jocelyn,but in a way I am glad you did.So I can send all kind of positive vibes your way❣️🥰I know for sure that any judge will vote in your favor! You are a good person and a great mother❣️🥰I just hope that your ex stops harassing you and your family.Especially for the children.We,your subscribers,care for you and your family.You became a part of our lives from the moment we found you on KZbin.And I am glad I did because I have learned so much from you. And ofcourse anybody can understand that sometimes behind the smiles and jokes,there is pain,sadness or whatever upsetting feelings,going on. We are all human beings trying to live our lives as good as possible.Especially when you got children.But Jocelyn,know I’ll be praying for you and your family.🙏🏻🥰 Now I don’t buy and sell stuff but I work as a volunteer in a thrift store.Our little group fixes and pimp things up,so people will buy it.But now and then I see something that I like and I want to know if it is something good.I grew up with a lot of antiques,so I do know a bit but you guys taught me a lot more.Thank you for that.🙏🏻🥰 I was writing in between watching the video and I didn’t know you would get the answer in court immediately..😂I am so happy for you! Many times we are extremely nervous for something,for which we shouldn’t have been nervous at all! That’s life too!😁

[@debsmith2269]

Keep smiling and people will smile with you....most of the time😆. Anyway, smiling is better than crying; crying is exhausting. You're a great mum; your kids are lucky to have you.

[@loriparker2440]

You amaze me! After experiencing so much stress, there is no way I'd have the energy to go shopping, much less make good decisions on what to purchase and what to leave on the shelves. Congrats on winning the case. Thank you so much for your inspirational and informative videos. PEACE

[@yvonneerminger9027]

I had to smile when you were talking about having a family party. We used to have rug picnics in the living room. We would lay down a blanket and have all kinds of appetizers. Everyone loved it. You are resilient. You will get through all of the court stuff and protect your son's rights. Bless you.

[@jennynadershahi8080]

I did exactly that too! So much fun. Well done Jocelyn

[@deborahjohnson2808]

Jocelyn, you are a bright spirit in this world! Kudos to you for sharing the personal issues that are not a wonderful, as it helps others to know you better, and understand that we can all persevere, even when life is not “ all rainbows and unicorns “. Glad court went well & is over & done with. 🌺

[@wandasimons3305]

Jocelyn, thanks for sharing this issue. We, your followers, all care about you and your family. You are a great mom we are praying for you!

[@tigermoon44]

It ended well! Yup, life is not always a bed of roses, sometimes we have to deal with the thorns!

[@happylifegoodlife4all]

Thank you for trusting us with such a personal matter. You are so appreciated for what you do, the education you provide and the joy you bring. No one's life is perfect and I admire the fact that you can be vulnerable and share. I'm sure it helps others to know you are human and for them to know no one's life is perfect. Bless you Jacolyn, your family, your friends and your staff. Always in all ways. Pam

[@racheltaylor8975]

Keep protecting your babies! No one else will! Good job Mamma, you got this! Take a deep breath and trust everything will work out!

[@lallred1911]

It's always a good idea to have outfits that are suitable for court, weddings, and funerals. Also something to wear to a fancy anniversary party, etc. They don't need to be expensive. Just the best quality you can afford and simple tailoring. They can last for years and you'll be glad you are prepared.

[@barbarapettry6817]

I've seen where a basic black dress can be dressed up any number of ways, depending on the party, meeting, date, etc.🙂🐞

[@kathy3930]

So sorry you’re having to deal with a crazy ex! They’re usually trouble, not the exes, the crazy ones. Anyway, thank you for sharing with us. And know that even though we don’t know you personally, we feel like we do and we love you for your warm and sweet personality.

[@stuckinflorida97]

I've been a court reporter since '78 and a courtroom is like my second home. However, the few times I had to testify, I was a nervous wreck. But you've got this! Hopefully it went smoothly and swift. Take care of yourself, Mama! 💙

[@roselink1521]

i already thought you are awesome but now hearing that story and by the way thank you for sharing that i now think you are even that much more awesome and what a good mommy you are

[@traceytwardowski1491]

Austin and Juliet have a good hearted Mommy and Congratulations on your baby news!💜🎉

[@kristydenton3820]

Your situation sounded pretty cut and dry but it is so hard when decisions are going to be made by people that you don’t know. So glad it went well, now breathe in and bring on the sunshine you bring to our lives. Thank you.

[@chrisbeaman8520]

Jocelyn, thank you for sharing....we are here to support you, like a little you tube family. You give us happiness every stream and I wish the best for you.

[@yllin9083]

You are very brave to fight for what is right and for your loved ones. God Bless you.

[@christine2955]

Hi just wanted to tell you I've been there, that stressed out feeling of ex's and court, etc. You are fighting for what you know is right, your son's future. A gift of love from his grandpa. ❤️ Your mom and dad fans are cheering you on. Thank you for sharing. We all appreciate you. I'll be praying for your family and cheering you on with each exciting find as always 🙂 God bless.

[@tinaandre9905]

Fantastic. Now you can put that behind you. Congratulations. You are glowing even more than usual! 💗

[@elainefrick8955]

“Bar Keepers Friend” is what you need to clean metal and porcelain:)

[@deenaminyard3788]

Ashton is fortunate to have a mother like you! My family is going thru a difficult estate settlement and 2 of my siblings are being jerks and trying to go against my father's wishes. Lawsuits, threats, etc. It is painful enough to lose a father, but now this! You have thousands of people behind you! Blessings, prayers and Light to you! Love you, too...

[@sharonlcantrell]

Good for you standing up for what is right for Ashton.

[@paulamccann9109]

This is something that happens - the person who has never been responsible with money and life in general disrupts everyone else’s life! It sounds like you have a very good lawyer who is walking right with you through this whole process- good for you. I’m hoping all goes well and that you are done with this man at least as far as this money is concerned. You are a great Mom and Andrew is a solid partner and dad!

[@mammaduck5560]

Ex’s can be a pain but good for u for standing up for your child! Don’t let your guard down and please remember desperate people will take desperate measures . Everyone has their story thanks for sharing yours . Stay happy and keep shopping love your videos!!!

[@maryjanerod7226]

Oh I know what ex can be 😵 stealing kids money. Stay strong and truth will be done.💖💖💖👍🇱🇷

[@suehurt7506]

Took a lot of courage to share your personal life with us. Thank you. Many blessings to you, Andrew and your kids.

[@lizlee6290]

Oh Jocelyn, we know that your life is real and sometimes hard, just like most everyone's. We also don't expect you to share every private detail. We know you work really hard, and with grit and determination have made a successful business. Speaking from experience, sometimes it helps to put on a smile and get crackin' busy. Seems to help push the worries away for a while. That's what you seem to do. As for this court thing, just calmly and honestly answer the questions you will be asked. We know how honest you are! I, for one, feel honored that you have confided in us! We're thinking good thoughts for you.

[@reneesullivan1876]

Prayers. We're all your real friends. We see a very wonderful person in you. Confidant you have this!

[@pammywhammy3521]

Sending positive energy and prayers your way!😊 Continue to move forward as you always do!💕

[@deblepley7755]

Sometimes the healthiest thing you can do is rant for a while. You just have to let it out, girl…..❣️Thankful it worked out well for your family. Take care 😊

[@samm3681]

We all have stupid personal bullshit like this! You got this and you're doing great.

[@lindabeck4254]

Be strong and stand up for your son. His grandpa loved him and wanted to take care of him. You are amazing and a great mom!

[@theresathompson2784]

We love you Jocelyn! Hang in there girl you got this!

[@jd9351]

The sheep is The Golden Fleece insignia of Brooks Brothers. It was probably a store display. Congrats on the court ruling.

[@TheCC1968]

I had to deal with almost the exact same situation concerning my daughter. My ex's sister all of a sudden bought a new house and a summer house. 2 houses? I hired a lawyer and what do you know she was stealing from my daughter not her daughter but for sure mine. Thank Goodness we figured it out. Now she's an adult with a son of her own and she has her inheritance. Do what you need to do. Your son will be very grateful. I know dealing with an ex is difficult. Just remember he's the one making it difficult and weird. I'm sure all will turn out well. After all this go and take some time for you and the little one. Congrats to you and Andrew, how exciting a new baby!!!!! What a beautiful way to start 2022, knowing you're bringing a new life into the world.........🌹👨‍👩‍👧🤰🏻👶🏼🍼🚼🐇🧸🥳😇👍👏🥂🍾

[@dradcliffe]

Girl- I'm sending you a safe, virtual hug. I hope things are only better from here. You are a ray of sunshine- but even sunshine gets to have cloudy days. Fingers crossed for you hon.

[@pattymls7384]

We greatly appreciate you sharing all of this. It’s an honor to be let into your life.

[@healingsprings11]

So glad that things got sorted out for you and for your son. 👍

[@sandystewart292]

When you feel stress, come talk to us, we are here to listen. Your amazing success is because YOU ARE an amazing, smart, honest, loving and heartwarming person.

Always remember little worries cause big shadows and they can't eat you!! Glad things worked out and that load is off your shoulders. You don't need that unnecessary stress this is a fantastic time for you and your family enjoy it!! 💕

[@mdugar711]

I haven’t finished watching half of this yet but I wanted to tell you that I think you’re very brave for opening up to all of us virtual strangers. I also want you to know that my supportive thoughts are with you and I think you’re amazing. Any time you’re down in south Louisiana please let me know and we’ll do lunch. My treat!! Btw, I bought a wooden Asian bowl with a bit of damage, a crack and some missing enamel. I love it and so does my daughter. It truly found a good home.

[@aimee6420]

Where in South Louisiana are you?

[@stephanieevans6542]

Good for you Jocelyn, and shame on him for trying to make you feel bad for the situation he has gotten himself into! You are good mother, and should be proud of yourself! Your kids know all this already, but when they get older they will really appreciate all you and Andrew have done for them. Cannot wait to see the kids with the new baby, they must be so excited!💞

[@Sunnyreads8]

You got so many prayers on your behalf. You are in the right and gpa wanted Ashton to have that money. You are a successful business owner and great mom and the judge will definitely see that. Thanks for sharing so we can all lend our support. 🙏🥰

[@barb-jm7990]

You are so articulate that I had no worries about you in court. I've found that court is not such a scary place. I've been on two jury duty cases and I think it is very interesting!! I'm one of those weirdos, I guess, who likes jury duty! I'm so glad things worked out well for you. The court system is just people enforcing the laws that are there to protect everyone. I'm glad you are such a good Mom and you are protecting Ashton.

[@Margaretcs0103]

I’m glad your experience was relatively painless once you got there! Hang in there….❤️

[@judihache6356]

You keep fighting for your boy! My ex FIL left a small amount in trust for my daughter and when my ex passed away there was nothing left! I didn’t know anything about it. So glad your situation worked out for the best. I love your videos. I see stuff that that my mother had and things that I have. I love the way you explain things and my favourite is your sold videos!!

[@averogers9947]

And here we have a wonderful example of your second super power…it’s an “Emily in Paris” super power! I’ve admired it-without knowing for sure what to name it-since I first found you. It’s always been in the sound of your voice, the kind descriptions of almost anything you see, the addition of your hand “speaking” in your vids and of course your I’ll-see-how-this-one-sells approach but with this post you’ve used it very clearly for your whole day. If it’s not a rainbows and unicorns day, it will be an Emily-in-Paris day…there’s always another Goodwill to check out and two owls just might even show up and bring a smile. Thanks for being you!

[@monikapravs581]

Thank you for sharing your life with us. The good and the not so good. It makes us love you even more. ❤

[@judewishedhimselfout]

I'm glad all went well with court. You are a good mama, and a hard-working woman. I appreciate your videos and all the work that goes into it.

[@Diana-ng2xv]

I’m so happy things went well for you. You’re right we don’t know the daily struggles that you have. But you make my daily struggles more uplifted from your videos so keep smiling. Praying for you all god bless

[@TheVintageSoul333]

Hey Jocelyn I know it's not easy to share your personal life but you never know who is going through something relatable and it might help them. I'm sorry that you have to go through that but you are honoring your late father in law's wishes and looking out for your son which he will appreciate. And you're doing so all while being pregnant which is no easy task. It sounds do like things are turning a corner a new house in the works, a new baby and of course your businesses. Congratulations all the exciting new things happening in your life! ❤️ 👶 🏠

[@cherylnixon7471]

I know that you don't owe your viewers a peek into your personal life, good or bad, but I appreciate you letting us in a little. It's real and it's just life....thank you. ❤️

[@yaya50]

Thank you so much for sharing your life with us. I feel like you are a friend and I like knowing what is going on in my friend's lives. You have so much going on in your life right now. Stay positive and enjoy your little, but growing, family ❤️

I’m so glad everything at court went your way. Thanks for sharing with us. Sometimes it seems like we’re the only ones with crap in our lives. Lol

[@ceciliadelgado6899]

Dear Jocelyn. You are certainly not alone. We all have "behind the scenes stuff"! That's life. My ex kept dragging me into court constantly stating lies and anything that he thought would get my goat. It finally stopped after several years. Kudos to you for fighting for Ashton. You are a great loving mom! Awesome of Andrew to be there for you!

[@Haeley.L]

So glad everything worked out for you in court! Also congrats on the baby! Thanks for sharing your real life struggles. It's nice to see someone being authentic. BTW I enjoy your videos AND I've learned so much watching them!

[@modareciclada]

Yesterday, while I was waiting to go in to the Goodwill bins, I mentioned that I’m obsessed with your videos and I thank you for sharing your own life experiences and pains. It makes me love your contents even more because you are a real human being who really love glass😁

[@LindaKordich]

I’m proud of you…be strong be protective and don’t look back. Your future is your children. LOVE your strength. And I love your transparency. Just know many of US are behind you Ashton and Juliette and that new baby! ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️

[@rosamerla1534]

Jocelyn, everyone has things going on in their lives. Ugly, mean and heartbreaking things. The way I think you cope is through your work. You have a beautiful smile. You have Juliette and Aston and especially Andrew. You look beautiful in your new clothes. Your father-in-law sounds like he was a special person.

[@suehaas5308]

I am obsessed with your videos. So happy today in court was a piece of cake. Congratulations on your wonderful news also. ❤️❤️❤️

[@patriciareeps3389]

I totally understand how stressed you were. I would have been too. I’m happy for you that everything turned out for the best. My husband used to say 90% of the things we worry and stress about never happen.

[@heathertenbroeck6455]

After going through a 2.5 year battle over custody of my step kids (so I understand the anxiety court and dealing with ex spouses can cause) this made me like you even more! Thank you for sharing your life with us all, even the annoying and anxiety causing bits. You looked beautiful in your “dressed up” clothes. You have amazing style. I hope now that this but is past you, that no more come your way! 💖

[@ruthmatthews6850]

You are a ROCKSTAR Mom! I'm so glad you shared and court went well. Someone once said, "Worry" is a useless emotion. So breathe, in and out, and let it go.....what will be, will be. (Truth be told, I give that advice , but I still worry and have anxiety 😕 😅)

[@cherylvaverka9042]

Prayers for you and your sweet family. So happy about the new blessing. Your little short video letting your fans know. Well, it was hilarious!

[@baltrade5637]

Every human being has some kind of set back in life and those who put that a side and pull through and try to work out of it should be applauded and that is you, keep going dear you will see the ' gold at the end of rainbow.😌🙏

Sorry for the stress, Jocelyn. We all carry worries and problems with us behind our laughter and smiles. Running a business is not easy. The best to you and your circle of love and caring! 💞👍

[@pennydaytreasures8173]

Congratulations on the judge ruling in your favor. When my grandpa passed away he left both me and my brother some money. My husband and I spent $1000 to paint our house and the rest we divided up for our 2 children. So they could have some money either for college or to start their lives as adults. We never touched the money. We did invest it and doubled it. I’m extremely proud we made the decision to do this. My children deserve to start their lives with some money. It’s not a lot but it’s going to help them more than us. It’s hard to understand someone not putting their children first before everything else. You did the right thing. Your ex’s father wanted Ashton to have that money. It’s absolutely belongs to him and him alone. Thank you for protecting this money for Ashton. Our children deserve to start life with a little something to help them. It’s not as easy as it used to be to get ahead. This will help him, maybe he will need a car? Maybe he will decide to use it for college or a house. I’m sure his grandpa is smiling down on you.

[@purpledaisy4850]

You are such a strong person. You will kick butt and protect your son’s future. You got this!

You hang in there girl. You know you are doing the best you can do for your Children. As a parent the kids come first and it seems like you know that. You work so hard and we see that.

[@dittohead7044]

As a Christian I know God tells us don’t be surprised when trials and tribulations come your way. So I know life isn’t always pretty, that’s why we should be kind as everyone is going thru something. I’m so glad the court proceedings are over and went in your favor. Blessings on you and your new addition to your family!!!
