You go girl! You did it! In ten-ish years you bought a house with dreams, got out of a bad situation, worked your butt off as a single mom, built a new relationship, created and grew a successful business, and turned those dreams into a reality. What a great way to close that chapter of your life. I’m amazed you had time to do it all. You are a super woman and a fantastic role model. May God’s blessings always shine down on you and yours!

[@teresafaulkner7773]

Well said

[@rebeccameder1289]

Ditto!

[@carltonthepug]

Can you repeat that please?

[@lesliejohnson7247]

You said it better than I did!!

[@peggykanz179]

OMG ! Girl I would sell that house as soon as possible, take Andrew's hand, grab your little one's and go to your new home and live a loving life. That new house is where your heart is. You were so happy showing it to us , you lit up with happiness ! Your strength ,patience and love brings tears to my eyes. YOU deserve the best ♡♡♡♡♡

She should rent it

[@deenaminyard3788]

It is a beautiful, one of a kind country home.

[@kimeverhart6253]

I think she should do the very same thing!! Sell this old place, move forward into her new life, unburdened by the past and it’s worries..♥️

[@lindamiller2723]

@@carltonthepug As someone who has had rental properties in the past, be prepared for the worse. No matter how many restrictions you place (such as indoor pets, no one moving in for free, trash piling up etc.) it hardly ever works out. Sell the house and save your sanity and fixing past renters issues.

[@carltonthepug]

@@lindamiller2723 Like I said, I’m extremely picky on who I rent to. Never had a problem. I’d rather rent than sell

[@lesliejohnson7247]

Wow! I’m 68 now. My ex is 78. The stories I’ll never tell. People don’t realize what courage it takes to run a business. Not only The Business, but Life Happens. Messy, painful life - and you still have to continue making those business decisions (not to mention working your a** off). My divorce was probably as traumatic as yours sounds like. I never knew I’d end up being the one on top. Never in 100 years would I have thought I could be. You’re a rock star, Jocelyn. And my respect has gone up 10 fold for Drew. These weren’t fun times but look at you both now! I look forward to that video - only for it to be the END of that chapter of your life. It’s free advice & God knows we all get what we pay for, but my advice would be to sell it if you can. Enjoy your baby, your fresh start, and your new home. Make that the center of your universe. You don’t need to find out the potential stupidity of *some* renters. Take care, Leslie

[@rikkemeek1506]

Amen to that. Time to leave this in the past

[@stuckinflorida97]

I concur 100%. In my 71 years of watching my parents, siblings and children with rental properties, they're a neverending headache. Let it go, Mama J. 💙

[@deborahmouille1718]

Have to agree with letting it go, Jocelyn! Renting is a real pain in the butt! Of course, if you like all the drama in renter's lives, go for it! I'd just hate to see this place torn up by some disgruntled renter that decided they didn't like you anymore because you wouldn't let them live there for free! Take it from an old lady that has seen this kind of situation! I worked on a house for 3 yrs., tried to get my money back and maybe make a little money! NOT! It was a money pit and finally I had to let it go for way less than I spent on improvements! I cried at the act of sale! I was so heartbroken because I let my heart determine the actual improvements! Instead of taking advice from someone who knew about real estate, I listened to my heart because I really wanted that kitchen! It was beautiful and the cost was way too much even for the neighborhood! Oh, but I got what I wanted! Only to have to sell it 3 months later because of a blindsided breakup! Cut your losses, move forward with your new life! Let the past be past! Apparently, he wasn't worth the trouble he gave you! You have beautiful children, a man now that adores you, a thriving business that needs attention and a new life on the way! Go forth Joselyn with a clean slate, chalk it up for what it's worth and move on! You've done good to this point! Just think of the space you will create to have this behind you, beloved!

[@catherinenelson4162]

I hadn't realized from the thrifting Videos that Jocelyn was single parenting. Good for you, kiddo.

[@persiphonehellecat]

Me, too, Leslie. 68 now. My son is almost 36. I walked out with just the clothes on our back when he was 2. Never looked back. Ex is gone now. My son is my reselling partner.

[@sallycunningham813]

You, dear lady are something spectacular! One thing I've learned over nearly 70 years is: never walk away from your problems. Meet them head on, hold on to what's dear and move forward. You will have no regrets. Blessings to you, Jocelyn.

[@sandrasinanian2710]

Love that advice!!!

[@susanm9824]

Well, I guess that was the first hoarder house! OMG. You are amazing... One suggestion coming from total caring and admiration.... Consider selling. Renting today can be awful. People can ruin your house and/ or refuse to pay rent, and the courts won't evict them. You have been through enough... Think carefully, and get a lot of advice from experts before deciding...♥️♥️

[@peggyvick935]

Lordy Jocelyn, You’ve got so much on your plate. You don’t worry about us! Take some TIME. We WILL be here. Sending love, prayers, & granny hugs. ❤️🙏

Amen! My heart breaks for all she's taken on, but it's a tribute to her strength that she persists. 💙

[@catherinenelson4162]

I'm sorry you went through the mess of a marriage with you ex. It must be stressful. De-stress every evening, as stress can be hard on the baby.

[@tbunny711]

I think selling it to a loving, happy family would be a nice way to put an end to that chapter of your life. Your new house is even more beautiful than this beautiful house. But it would be hard saying goodbye to that house that you brought your babies home to. I get it. Thank you for sharing. It's amazing you find time to sleep

[@nmumpton]

Don’t rent it! What a nightmare! We rented a beautiful new townhouse we owned. The various renters ruined so many things. And a one couple left and didn’t pay various bills owed (we couldn’t find them so we had to pay). We had a company managing the rental but still it was such a mess and a lot of heartache.

[@leeleescraps]

I agree don’t rent it! We rent our house & the family destroyed it. Never ever again would I rent out a house.

[@megb7491]

You could use a rental service so you don’t have the day to day hassle of dealing with renters but still keep control of the property. It would probably be worth the expense. It is a beautiful piece of property. Love the pictures of the littles at the end. You must have the energy of a team of people with all you and Andrew have accomplished in the past year.

All I can say is “WOW “! Thank you for trusting us with this very private back story. I seriously thought you were doing an amazing job even before knowing about this tsunami in the background. You have a lot more “Super Power” than what you speak of in the video intros. A lot of people have advice. Sell, don’t sell, etc. but you know the situation and your heart. Only you can decide. Best of luck. You are smart and strong and have wonderful strength and judgement. I hope this turns from a burden to a blessing for you and your family. 🙏🙏🥰👍💚💚💚

Nice real estate is hard to come by.

Jocelyn you are a force. Proofs in what you’ve been quietly dealing with. Who knew!! You’re so real and genuine I admire that. I should add resilient to the that list of attributes. I thought I could hear some sadness in your voice as you walked through your former residence. I’m so happy knowing you have a new chapter in your life. Best to you and continued success as you move forward leaving behind the hurt of the past.

I'm sorry that you had to deal with such a mess. Glad that you are able to be fixing it though. I think your new house is much nicer and I hope you guys create wonderful memories there. I hope you show us your new baby girl when she arrives. Take care of yourself and be careful and keep loving one another. HUGS sent to you all.

It will be such a relief to see your ideas come to past and then walk away from that past & start anew. Congrats on making it happen. I am starting over from a bad past, lost my house had to file bankruptcy etc to start over. Rebuilding my life while going thru breast cancer reoccurrence. As women we have drive and strength we never knew until we have to. Congrats

[@charlottecrawford2201]

[@andrealucas2238]

Wow! What a journey you have been on! You should be proud of what you accomplished and overcame! Many blessings to you, Andrew and the kids.

[@lindawiggs8578]

You are awesome!!! I admire how much you are willing to share. I love watching your thrifting videos but these are so personal and such a joy to get a glimpse of who you are. You and Andrew deserve every bit of happiness coming your way! Thanks so very much for sharing.

[@maryannhorner1900]

You are one amazing woman Jocelyn. Would never know you had all this going on in the background. A truely tremendous accomplishment, bless you and your family, happy Mother’s Day to you!! 🥰

[@brendabunnell6759]

The house looks great. Love the door. I don't think I would want to rent it out, so many bad renters.

[@lorrainehall5552]

I don't know how you and Andrew have been doing all this and run your business and find your new home you are an amazing couple. It was so lovely to see your beautiful children when they were so young and yourself.. I don't think that you will have any trouble selling the old house when it's finished.. and I wish you all the happiness in the world in your new home.. sending lots of love and hugs 🫂 Lorraine from England 🇬🇧 xxx

[@karenrodgers6905]

BRAVA!! Turning lemons into lemonade! So proud of you!

[@sherripettigrew]

I’m so happy for you Jocelyn. You are such a role model for what women can overcome and accomplish. You rock it.

[@cathieharris6122]

Much admiration for you stepping up to take control of the house situation as you did with your son's inheritance situation. God bless Andrew for his emotional support and encouragement. What a special man he must be! One word of advice if you choose to rent the house: give 24 hour notice 3 times a year to the renter that you will be entering the house to check smoke detector batteries and change heat/air filters. Our apartment complex does that. You can make sure those important tasks are done and you can check the condition of the house. Best wishes!

Your yellow drawer matches your yellow table to store linens close to your new home's sun room 😁! I loved the old photos of Ashton at the end, so adorable!

[@nonyabiznus5416]

Dear Jocelyn….I went through something similar, let my ex and his girlfriend live in the house we jointly owned. Long story short, I had to hire an attorney to take possession and then fix everything that had been neglected (roof leaks destroyed the ceiling). After contracting out all the work I reluctantly put the house in the market because I was building a new house a couple of hours north - rendering me completely unable to maintain it or keep an eye on it. It was a tough decision because although it held some bad memories (including the fresh ones from having to hire an attorney to get it back and then fix it) it was also the home I brought my newborn to after he was born. At the end of the day, it was the best thing to do. I had a new life and a new home and it was best to leave the past in the past. I hope no matter what you decide, it works out best for you and your family. Best of luck!

[@toodleztrinketz7346]
