Q&A | New Minivan, Life Changes, Vlogging Regrets | Summer 2019

You asked, I answered. I’m sorry if there’s some repeats, but Instagram (where I gathered questions) glitched on me and I wasn’t able to see a lot of questions. I hope you enjoy chatting with me all the same! Thanks for watching :)

Watching this and so happy to hear you talk about my channel 9 years ago! Wow, wasn't that a time LOL!

[@WithWonder]

I have you to thank for inspiring me to start my channel! Thank you for continuing to inspire me with your grace and flexibility over the years navigating life online. James is such a sweetheart 💕

[@JanaD1985]

Elle Fowler you were the one who introduced me to KZbin! After watching your videos I was hooked!

[@chaank1069]

Elle Fowler hi Elle 😊

[@AtaliaChan]

@Elle Fowler Hi Elle! 🥰 Totally agree with what Jen said about you. You always seem so genuine. And I miss your channel!❤️

[@moodyfloral6234]

This interaction between the two of you makes me so happy since I‘ve been following both of you for such a long time. 😍

[@88lakeshore]

please don't ever get rid of you housewifelife channel. I love going back and watching your old videos, especially during the holidays :)

[@practicaltravellers3917]

Same!

[@Ccnewman17]

Here’s what I like about you - you’ve grown as a person, not as a “brand”. You’re one of the handful of people I truly enjoy watching just because of your authenticity. I feel like I’m sitting down with a good friend, not watching a commercial or a charicature of someone’s life. Just recently I watched one very popular person that I used to really like and she mentioned how sick she was as she’s in full on makeup and perfectly curled hair and filming a cleaning video. I was like...I’m sorry...what? Now it’s just for $$$ and I get it but it’s hard to see those changes in people when money becomes the focus. You’ve done an amazing job with your content and have stayed super classy throughout your journey. God bless!

[@kristyfey871]

Yes!! Your words are exactly how i feel too!!

[@greengiant3421]

I am only 14 minutes in but CHEERING & APPLAUDING you on the answer of taking care of you!!! If you don't take care of you mentally, emotionally, physically, socially, & so forth you can't take of your family like you should. I'm happy you are doing so at this stage of your life. I have always put everyone & everything above me. I'm a RN so it's my nature to take care of everyone. Long story short I'm 55 & it's caught up with me. I tell my grown girls take care of yourselves first & then others. That doesn't mean you love your spouse, children, extended family, friends, any less. I applaud you 1000%!!! 😘

[@Erin-thornycrown7]

I follow a lot of KZbinrs that every video is sponsored, there are commercials, everything has a coupon code, and I don't see any of that with your videos. Even if you did I would still watch you because I love your content. But I think it's funny how people can be so judgmental and mean when you are not selling or monetizing the way others do. You are simply sharing and I love it. ♥️

[@nhudsonforever]

I have watched 100% of your videos since 2012 and I have gone back and watched everything prior to that. Me saying that is to the point of regardless of what you post we will watch and I know I am not alone.

[@WithWonder]

Wow! Thank you for your support! I'll do a vlog soon 💕

[@missdee3]

You do you Jen and you're very interesting and calming to me.

[@JessicaJ1224]

Jen I have watched you grow for many many years now. You are such a genuine person and kind. You have such a calming effect on so many of us with great ideas. Keep being you and always know many of us just adore you.

[@WithWonder]

Thank you, friend! 💕

[@jennaanne4025]

I've been watching you for years and love how comfortable and confident you seem since you've become a mother.

[@mbbee83]

I completely agree on choosing yourself! For years I did things I thought others expected and I've realized (even more so after turning 30) that the person who knows what's best for me is me. I work with students who have to do a lot of self-advocating for the first time and I realized one day how I wasn't practicing what I preach every day. It is a complete game changer!

[@sandyK808]

I have enjoyed watching you for a few years now. I appreciate your honesty and willingness to share yourself. Thank you!

[@DfarrahB]

When I’m going through one of my “not so good periods” I struggle with severe anxiety and panic attacks, I watch your old vlogs. Vlogust, vlogtober and firm favorite, vlogmas! From the comments I know I know I’m not the only one. So, when you have one of your rare “oh” moments, remind yourself that there are people out there that find comfort from those vlogs!

[@bellabookworm]

To respond to your question about vlogging, Jen. I always found you calming to watch, whatever you did in your vlogs (laundry day or running errands and getting your donuts lol) You have a lovely personality that your audience loves. :) It's always around this time of year I start to binge watch all your old seasonal videos, I love them, they're so fun and get me in the mood for the holiday season ahead! So thank you not only for making them, but having them as playlists xoxo

[@WithWonder]

Donuts! 🍩

[@bradybrowning8274]

I got a minivan about 2 years ago and it was by far the best vehicle decision! I love how easy it is for my 5 and 2 year olds to get in by themselves and I love the cargo space options with laying down the third row. Not to mention how easy it is to drive! My husband jokingly calls it a spaceship but it’s the easiest to drive vehicle I’ve ever owned!

[@aimeeleonard6597]

When my kids were small, my minivan was where it’s at! It’s held all our stuff, soccer gear, changes of clothes and the kid’s friends. You’ll love it.

[@greengiant3421]

Well, now I'm 35 minutes in. I would love to see daily vlogs, what you eat in a day & anything else you share. Why anyone would be cruel to you has to mean they are MISERABLE. You are so sweet, smart & sensible.

[@samanthareiner7402]

I love “chatting” with you, you are yourself and it shows and I have loved seeing you learn to really embrace yourself and there just seems to be (don’t take this the wrong way because I never thought you needed it) a huge self growth over the last year or two especially. I’m just so proud of you and so inspired by you. And as a very long winded and wordy person my self I am so hear to listen to all you say not matter how long lol I love it! 💜

[@WithWonder]

We should start a group for long-windedness 😉

[@nicolesilvestri6532]

Jennifer! I love your plant based/what I ate videos! People are very opinionated about what they eat and what they think others "should eat" but your videos have given me some great ideas in my own transition to a more plant based lifestyle!

[@marilpelley969]

Jen, I have been watching your channel for many years and always look forward to watching them when I get notifications. You are so genuine and such a lovely person.You are such a wonderful wife and Mommy Please don't ever doubt that. Keep doing " You " Jen.

[@jasminhodges1223]

I can completely relate and understand the idea of choosing yourself. It's easy to get caught up in taking care of everyone else and forgetting that you need to be happy too. Love these Q&As.

[@jannettewood7548]

Everything in the past has made you the person you are today. You have grown so much as a strong confident women and you shine !!.

[@JanaD1985]

I would love to see a decorate with me video from you! I loooooove those videos! I still go back and watch them all the time :)

[@WithWonder]

Aw, the good ol' days. Maybe for Christmas!

[@Ellenllee]

Such an enjoyable,warm chat that you had with us,thank you :). Winnie again snuggled in the chair - what a treat ! I usually find that whatever you post on KZbin is relaxing, informative and interesting. I still head back to your Fall Decor videos from 2011 forward at this time of year :).I personally miss Don's cook nooks, he always made me chuckle and I hope that if he ever gets the chance, he joins you and the kids in the kitchen - how much fun THAT would be! So, thank you Jennifer and Don for hours of calm,family and laughter :).

[@SillyMando2008]

I've been wanting to see your basement. Glad to hear that you want to tackle It

[@jesswnukow]

I have watched you for (idk) a LONG time. I'm always so delighted when other vloggers/Instagrammers mention you as the reason they started their KZbin channels or just how you have given housewives and women a place in the world to land. So many people mention you. Be proud of your channel and all that you have brought so many women who choose to be moms and housewives or just women in general. We should be proud. Being a Mom is hard work. XO

[@WithWonder]

Moms should be SO proud, no matter if they work outside of the home or inside or whatever. 💪

[@amandagarner3002]

I’m not plant based- in the least. It makes me a little disappointed to hear you say your sharing is coming to an end though. I’ve learned so much about plant based eating thru you and you continue to inspire healthier eating in me. And yes... there are definitely more influencers who are plant based and share that. You are just hands down the most authentic about it being incorporated in the day to day and the struggles/rewards. Thank you for creating content. It has brought me joy for many years and I love seeing you evolve.

[@kristyfey871]

Same!!

[@kaydicarrington4859]

Yes, PLEASE do a minivan tour & review!!! Also, I’d love to know more about your plant based journey and where you’ve ended up with it. You’ve inspired me!!

[@Plan2Run]

I feel you about vlogging. While I don’t have a KZbin channel I think privacy is key . Especially the world we live in . Some many KZbinrs show so much of their lives without realizing their privacy and children’s privacy can be compromised. But your vlogs are a breath of fresh air !!

[@WithWonder]

It's tough to know where to draw the line....and that line is constantly moving!

[@PixieDustLane]

I've been a subscriber of yours for around 7 years now! I found your channel when searching for Disney vlogs and then I went back and watched from the very beginning. I was home all day with a baby and toddler at the time so watching your videos was my me time. Now my kids are in elementary school and you have the little ones at home! You inspired me to create my own youtube channel which has very little subscribers, but I like making the videos and sharing and that's really what it's all about! Thanks for making so many great videos over the years and welcome to the mini van club!

[@daphneneubauer2511]

Jen please don’t ever change you are so sweet. I watch you when I’m stressed out and you make me feel so calm. I love your home videos. I love your organizational videos!

[@00clgordon]

Awwww I love seeing Winnie even if it's just the top of her head. :) Share what you are comfortable with of course. However, I enjoy watching you no matter what you share. It's like sitting down and having a nice chat with a friend.

[@scrapin4mhe]

You are not boring! My favorites are your DITL videos. Just where you take us through your day. It’s inspiring and grounding. Over the years I have gained so much perspective from you. PS. It is really interesting to see how others live, what they eat, and how they do ordinary life. You don’t have to show your kids to keep it interesting.

[@Fiobo823]

I love your videos, whatever the content. I just find you to be such a genuine person, and a video from you is like a little treat to savour :)

[@WithWonder]

❤️❤️❤️

[@jasonpalladino3652]

So true, “only you can make you happy”❤️

[@baumanmissy]

You are sooooo right about the futility of regrets. We do the best job we can in each moment and it is what it is. We all need to give ourselves Grace.

[@63sonotech]

I totally get your thoughts on finally putting you first. I am there now. I do miss your holiday vlogs but do what is best for you. It would be great to see the kids though.

[@melissanoble1621]

I understand whole heartedly. You do just fine and don't change "yourself ". Very insightful words. Thank you for sharing "you".🙂❤

[@cocoluna88]

I would say as far you not thinking you alone are exciting enough for solo vlogs, for me, you are a calming presence. I watch your old vlogs to unwind, to help with anxiety, similar to how others watch ASMR videos. Something about the routine, your personality, etc. That being said, I’m not one to beg you to do something you may not feel comfortable with anymore. ❤️

[@SinPatuque]

Omg Im so happy so many videos in a row!!

[@jeniferlee6188]

Your videos bring me so much joy! ❤️ thank you! You are so relatable and such a beautiful person inside and out!

[@TheNatureChick1]

So happy you’re back! I discovered your channel during your month off (totally get that!) and have been hooked since and eagerly awaiting new content. I’ve been a pescetarian for about 5 years now and am trying to transition to a more plant based diet, particularly with cutting out dairy because I feel better without it. I’ve found your plant based videos to be so inspiring and have gotten many great ideas for meals and snacks from them. So, I would love to see more on that, but I understand if you’d rather not. I think when you are a kind and empathetic person, it is difficult to shrug off judgmental and angry comments from others, no matter how strong of a person you are. Keep up the great content, Ive been enjoying everything you’ve put out and don’t think anything could ever be boring!

[@marythomas6543]

My suggestion: turn off comments on videos with sensitive topics. ie: what you eat”videos. I feel you on the vlogging with the kiddos. I have very mixed feelings as well.

[@amandajones3841]

Aw Jen! I love this, I missed you but I understand that breaks are much needed! You were literally one of the first two youtubers I ever watched. Keep being lovely, dear :)

[@meredithhobson9940]

We love you, Jen! We’ll happily watch anything you wish to film! You do a great job and I’m so sorry that critics have put a damper on your plant based diet. You do what feels right!

[@donnaryan3162]

I have been a fan from the start. Love where you are right now. The vlogs you have shared with your family are super cute. I am happy with whatever you share.

[@practicaltravellers3917]

Jen, thank you for always being your authentic self. I guess you are my Elle Fowler. You are the one that has inspired me to finally start a channel of my own (after thinking about all the reasons I can't/shouldn't and falling prey to my fears for 5+ years). I first started watching your myhousewifelife channel after I graduated college and was immediately diagnosed with a disease that would make pursuing a career in my chosen field nearly impossible. I had no idea what to do with myself. I was down and so depressed and watching you helped give me purpose and direction (and a VERY organized home!) Your advice about always being true to yourself is probably the best advice anyone can give about anything in life. Thank you! Oh, and you should eat...whatever is right for YOU.

[@WithWonder]

Thank you for sharing this - I'm so excited for you and your channel! 💕

[@TessieDobey]

Hamilton was sensational! If you have never seen it, you and Don should, you both will love it.

[@julias7065]

In one of Jen's older videos (I don't remember which one) she mentioned she saw Hamilton with Dan and they did not like it. I was really surprised to hear her say that since so many people have loved it. I have never seen it and hope to one day.

[@WithWonder]

We saw it and while we enjoyed it we both agreed it wasn't our favorite show

[@MomofCurt]

I’ve watched your videos for years (at least since 2014 because I haven’t used EC since then). Something about you fascinates me about you (not in a creepy, stalker way). I think it is because I’ve watched you grow up and come into your own. Your comment about sharing what you eat and the fear to do so broke my heart. I am just sad because I’ve seen the “mean movement” flow over social media and it is heartbreaking that being mean to people has become so easy. I love your videos (a little behind and catching up). Thank you for sharing with us.

[@chaank1069]

I’d watch a vlog with just you in it. I find you so calming and interesting to watch. I have learnt so much from you Jen and truly enjoy your content.

[@kajsa78kajsa]

You`re absolutely not boring. I love your vlogs. I love watching vlogs made by ordinary people: people just like me, that I can relate to. I have no desire to watch superficial celebrity vlogs. Real people living their ordinary lives inspires me!

[@olgamreal]

Loved ❤️ your video and seeing how much you have matured. Life and children help you mature for sure. You sound so happy and I’m very happy for you. Loved seeing your fut baby Winnie. Wishing you, Don and your children many blessings 🥰🥰🥰

[@Gigi-fv9ky]

I am so glad you are back, but happy for you that you took the time you needed, too. :) Film whatever you want. I will be here. :) have always loved your videos.Yeah, I love your vlogs and love see your beautiful littles, including Winnie, but, having also read the comments for years, I totally get the hesitation. Heck, I try to stay out of the comments, lol, because some make me feel bad. So, do what feels right and know that your friends out here will be happy. xxx

After having kids the holidays meant so much more to me. I would decorate to the hills with kid friendly options. My kids are grown now and I've only pulled back slightly. I can only imagine what will happen once I have grandkids.

I do feel you on “work on being you” first. I’ve always been a different version of myself to suit whoever and whatever situation I’m in. I’ve become a very good actor but it’s exhausting! I’m really trying to just be me all the time but I actually don’t really know how. I’m glad to hear I’m not alone in this. Thank you❤️

[@lindarobertt6206]

Jen, I always knew you would feel like a natural mom and be a natural mom!!

[@sharonolson2222]

Always enjoy your videos! My favourite videos are always the decorating, baking, organizing, party prep, day in the life....and it would seem the list goes on! Just proves that you have quite an assortment of material. In no way do I find you a boring person, quite the opposite, and I just love seeing you do what you do in a normal day. Of course it is always a treat when you include Don and the kids but I certainly understand why you don't always feel comfortable doing that. It really was a unique video when you shared your party prep and then wound it up with a few minutes of family and friends enjoying the event. I really don't read many comments but in the past some of the comments that I did read were just plain mean and awful. It says more about those people than it does about you, but all the same, I am sorry you were subjected to that type of negativity. I am glad you are still sharing content and on your terms and times. Cheers!

In September 😄 what is wrong with me, fall has only started! 🤪 it’s a very long winter, and I’ve never started getting festive so early so I’m praying I don’t get sick of Christmas, that would horrify me 😂 Also!

I test drove a Pacifica and was very impressed. I’ve been toying with the idea of getting one but have such a hard time parting with my BMW X5. It too was my dream car when we got it 5 years ago. Love hearing that you enjoy the minivan too. I’ll probably trade my suv next year.

[@Iris-gy2mi]

We have been on a very similar journey as far as becoming plant-based and choosing yourself first. I feel society in general looks down on moms doing things for themselves. This is something that isn't shared enough here on YT. Thank you for being brave enough to talk about choosing yourself first cause how on earth can we be expected to care for others if we aren't taking care of ourselves, both physically and mentally.

[@Malyan402]

Still watching, but I had to comment.. Thank you for this. I needed to hear about how we must choose ourselves first in order to be better for the ones we care about. I've always knew this too, but it can be a difficult thing to do.

[@kristenvadasz6022]

Would you ever consider sharing a process video for a week of Project Life? I keep trying to get going and would love some inspiration! On another note, I've been following you for years and have always loved you, but your transformation is amazing to see. You are very inspirational. Keep the great content coming!

[@WithWonder]

Yes! It's something I want to do for sure.

[@tkerr]

Oh my, did this speak to me. I have noticed that the happier I make myself (by doing projects I enjoy, etc.), the happier my husband is. If I try to find ways to make my husband happy, I struggle to think of ways to do it, and then he struggles to properly respond to the things I have done. Why am I doing this to both of us? We can make ourselves happy, and then meet happily in the middle. :)

[@jeanwoodall1523]

I understand being introverted. I'm somewhere between an INFP and INFJ and need alone time to recharge. My sister is the only living person who doesn't drain my energy. Everyone else including Lee and our son Daniel drains my energy. Fortunately I'm not very popular. Only my mother, sister, and Dad (Lee's) regularly call and we rarely have visitors. Our deceased younger son Thomas is the only other person who didn't drain my energy. I get plenty of alone time at home since Daniel goes to school and Lee usually stays on the other side of the house. I didn't get enough alone time when we visited my relatives in the Philippines as someone was always with me because they thought I'd be lonely so at least one person was always with me there. I really miss the food though and the fact it's less humid there. Loving the cooler temperatures we've been having late and night and early in the morning. Hopefully Fall is cool as usual and our Winter is mild as it's been the past couple of year. I purged some of my clothing I usually wear then. Some people are very opinionated or childish and want others to be just like them. Also some people treat personal preferences like they are convictions. I've been picked on all my life for having pale skin, wavy hair, and for my style. I love pale skin and I especially love my wavy hair. My mother, brother, and sister all have straight hair. My mother and sister have hour glass figures and look good in everything. Even my brother has a smaller waist than I do. I have a V shape with a proportionally large bust and proportionally short legs so I have a difficult to fit figure. Most pants slip off of me when I move. Also my style is Simple, Minimalist, and somewhat Bohemian which isn't a popular style. I mostly wear fit and flare dresses. I need to get some long skirts. I tend to prefer the peasant and belly dancing styles. I prefer solid color or geometric prints. The world would be a boring place if everyone was the same. My sister is my best friend and in many ways we're polar opposites. She's dramatic and I'm calm. She's an Atheist and I'm a Christian. She's Asexual (someone who isn't interested in sex) and I have a high sex drive. She is fashion conscious and I'm not. I need to put myself first as I can't fill up other people if I'm running on empty.

I appreciate your humility but I would challenge you to not justify or apologize for your views or your answers to personal questions. 🌸 People are here to hear your perspectives and long time viewers can trust your intentions.💛

I'm an apologizing justifier - something I work on, but slip into naturally. I'd apologize for doing so but that would defeat the purpose of this comment lol

[@alana09199]

I drive a Pacifica and love it so much! You will too!

[@Happilyheatherafter8O]

You’re amazing Jen! Thanks for always being YOU and open and honest! Been watching for a while now and always enjoy your videos! Just wondering what kind of truck do you have now? I have a Tahoe and I love it but minivans just seem so easy to get the kids in and out with that sliding door! Enjoy your new van!

[@lindseydelight]

I will watch anything you put out! But I do love your vlogs, you inspired me to make my own channel 💕

[@WithWonder]

That's amazing!

[@roisinohagan1711]

thoroughly enjoyed this nice relaxed chatty vid...good to work away whilst listening to your words which give me thought...tfs

[@wonderlandgal41]

Thank you Jen for this. Always love your videos and your Q&As. Your answer about YOU and finding you and being you hit home today and I needed that. So thank you!

[@WithWonder]

Sending you lots of ❤️

Can you do an organization video on children's things. Maybe the difference between a nursery and a toddler room. How clothes and toys are organized, layout for the room based on different needs and how you've made it flexible as they grow.

Hoping to do CC's room tour update sometime this century 😉

You look so gorgeous and rested and peaceful. Love every single one of your videos! Also when answering the musical question you clearly forgot The Sound Of Music. 😜

[@WithWonder]

Clearly! I could sing those songs backwards 😉

[@kalynab]

I love how sincere you are. Thank you.

[@AG-is8rk]

Would love to see vlogs with just you! I find you interesting and I can relate! Who cares what others say about what YOU eat its going in your body not theirs.

[@laurenl2661]

I did that!! I had my dream car, 2018 Yukon Denali. Loved it. But my SIL got a Chrysler Pacifica & I loved it, so I decided the same thing! Traded that sucker in! No regrets. Much cheaper & bigger! My kids love it too.

[@WithWonder]

That’s so good to hear! I am a little sad to be saying goodbye to my truck but hopeful that the minivan will be awesome

[@bandbporter]

Pretty Neat Living there’s nothing like a minivan when you have babies/young children. You will certainly not regret it for the three years of your lease .. and I bet you will lease another one for another three years after that!

[@kelsibarton1909]

What kind of truck do you have Jen? We’ve been debating on whether getting a truck or a van!

[@123mintjelly]

Really enjoyed this time with you Jen. You are the first you tuber I ever watched. It was so funny because it started out and you were in your kitchen. And you started talking to the camera. I thought, who is this and what is she doing ? LOL I didn't have a clue. Well, still watching !!!
