I try to like every video I watch, and comment on a few videos each week, as I know this helps support channels on KZbin. Ironically, I planned to comment on yours today, and you decided to get personal with your viewers. My original comment as to share that I discovered your channel a few months ago and have really enjoyed you and your projects. You have a very unique personal style, you are talented, appear to be a wonderful parent. Say all this to say, thank you for your inspiration and being so refreshingly authentic. Like I said, it’s ironic today I was planning to comment, as you share some personal moments. I’m terribly sorry for the changes in your life, as these didn’t appear to be in your plan. But as a total stranger watching you, I see you moving forward with grace and authenticity. I am sorry you are experiencing some challenges, but I can see your strength. Thank you and I will pray for you and your family tonight.

[@feedthebirdies]

You have a lot of support here and you are a great momma. I remember when your son was just a little guy and Arlo was born, and you crafted on your dining room table (a lot of us did!) Hang in there…you do so much good I believe good will come back ten-fold.☺️

[@LinaLeBlanc-l1v]

I remember that. ❤

[@aliceharbour5926]

Not to be nosy but I kind of figured it out along the way. It seemed like you bought the house then boom was suddenly a single mom. I am sorry this happened to you. You have remained positive and strong despite the challenges. You are an inspiration, Jess. You are so very talented, humble and sincere. You are kind and very loving. A great mom. I try not to miss a video. I don't always comment. I don't always know what to say and sometimes I think I probably sound like a dork. 😂 I know I can't do more than offer encouragement but it's here when you need it. Praying the best for you and your kiddos. Thank you for being you. 😊🎉

[@dorisandujar8277]

Jessica thank you for sharing this video. You are an amazing person, Mother and creator. I can't say I've been in your shoes but I have gone through a divorce after 32 years of marriage. We lost 2 sons that contributed to my divorce. I do have an amazing 41 year old daughter. I will pray for you and your children and that you have the strength to continue to stay home with your young ones. Things will get better. Hugs from the Catskill Mountains.

[@sharleneknaus3664]

Jessica I am so sorry! I keep you in my thoughts and the kiddos two. You are a great Mom and don't ever forget it. I love your videos!

[@cherylknight1591]

Jessica you are so strong. I know what you are going through. I love what you do. In fact we all do. We will support you in anyway we can 🤗

[@AndiCat14]

I'm so sorry you're having a rough time. Love and prayers to you and your children.

[@kathylambert-uz1vs]

I'm sorry life has been hard. Keep swimming it does get better. You are awesome and your kids are too I'm sure. I'm sorry I don't have time to watch and comment every video. I will try to send hearts/love as often as I can. Know so many of us have stood in your shoes and can say it was hard as can be at times but it did not last. Prayers have been sent.✌️🙏🤗💝💝💝

[@pamhendricks7800]

Stay strong Jessica! Been there, done that! You can do this

[@xyngchic]

Sending all of the good juju.

[@megsgonnamake]

You are absolutely amazing. I have learned so much from you over the years ..even baby stuff on your other channel. I remember when i had my lil guy and I watched some of your vids on baby potty training etc and even though I had older children (who are now 23 & 18) I started over and I felt so alone and you really helped me during that time. You are incredibly strong and beautiful from the inside out. ❤ We are here for you, Jess. Thank you for sharing. That was really brave❤

[@melindamarie6139]

I have SO much respect for you and i truly look up to you! You have such a sweet, beautiful soul ❤ You are not alone, i went thru something similar, it's not easy! I wish i could help you and if I ever can, i will!! You and the littles are in my prayers!!! Sending love & light!!! ✌🏼❤️🤗

[@ellenward2117]

Thank you for being vulnerable and sharing some of your story!!🥰 Keep your head up and keep pushing on. Thank you for sharing all of hard work and wonderful ideas!!❤

[@LinaLeBlanc-l1v]

Thank you, Jessica, for opening up with us, your other family. We're there for you, and I hope you know that we love you. You're an excellent mama. I'll remember you, in my prayers 🥰✨

[@denisegarcia4435]

💙🙏💙🙏💙🙏Live ur truth ur way. So many of us have lived through similar happenings. All that matters is taking care of ur daughters & coming out of it all healthy & in one piece. ✌

[@momof2minionsmd310]

Thank you for being so vulnerable and sharing. I am going through the same life changes and it’s so important to have a community of strong female friends to support you. This community is amazing! Sending love and strength!❤❤

[@MaAllen417]

I enjoy your videos! I knew you were going though changes in your life. Just let your light shine you are a great You Tuber. We love you Jessica, thanks for sharing personal details. I need some mass make videos... I know I've said this but when you do videos like the belly bands it inspires me to make some also sometimes I even craft along. I'm so glad you get so much happy mail. I think everyone knows you do a lot with Patreon. If people send you stuff use it for everything, make journals and sell them, make pockets sell 10, fulfill your Patreon mail, whatever. We all give in love so you can do what you do. You are not taking advantage of senders. I know you have gotten a lot from Etsy businesses, they get advertisement when you use their items in videos. I have bought from people that have sent you things. Wow have things increased lately. I'm watching your videos like crazy and I'm looking at Patreon again, anyway thank You Jessica sending light, love and Prayers for out all the single parent homes. I'm from one, I was one and I made it. Don't feel bad or your abusing anything by getting a hand up. We all feel guilty that we aren't worthy of it, but we are. Wow that went side ways, and I'm only commenting not saying you aren't taking hand outs.

[@LaurasPlansAndCrafts]

Thanks so much for sharing some of your life. It’s nearly impossible for primary caregivers to work outside the house. The hours are tough and sometimes the pay doesn’t even make it worth it. I hope things get better for you and your family 🩷🩷🩷

[@janicestevens8469]

Thank you for letting us know about your life changes - it couldn’t have been easy to share. You are handling it very well and keeping things respectful which makes you a very stable example for your children. I was an “instant”, single mom of two several years ago and it’s not something I would wish on anyone. Being a single mom is the hardest job in the world! I had to get out and work not just for income but insurance too. It would be so wonderful if you could figure out how to make KZbin work for you and not have to get a second job. I’ll be praying for the very best for you and your sweet kiddos. 🙏 ❤

[@Inspiredbynana]

Thank you for sharing ❤I know how hard it is (been there) and I promise things will get better. Your kids will grow up and you will look back and think…how in the world did I do it??? Keep doing what you do, because you are amazing at it! Blessings 🥰🥰🥰🥰

[@thekraftykorner4189]

Such a fun goodie box!

[@maryp7694]

Been there! NOT fun! Sending good thoughts your way. Thanks for all you do to educate and inspire the rest of us!

You are a true inspiration Blessings from South Africa

[@47kristi]

Oh Jessica my thoughts and prayers are with you and your children. You have been such an inspiration to me and I want you to know how much I appreciate you and your creativity. I’m so sorry that you have been going thru all of that. You are amazing mom and so giving of yourself. Tysm for sharing a little part of your life with us. I want to support you in anyway I can. Love so much your work and all you do to support your family. I’m behind you 100%. I have never felt that I was creative until I started watching your videos. So thank you so much for all you do and how you give of yourself to show all of us how much you love what you do. ❤

[@youngbloodslay]

Thank you for your transparency 🫂 Wishing you and your children all the best.💞

[@liannep8508]

I am so sorry for what you have gone through and continue to go through. I am a teacher and see firsthand the effects of divorce. Your kiddos are lucky to have such an amazing mom ❤ It is not easy to manage living on two incomes, nevermind one. I hope things start to get easier for you soon.

[@liannep8508]

P.S Thank you for what you do. Your videos bring so much inspiration and relaxation to my day. When I leave work the first thing I do is look for a new video from you! I hope I can help you more in the future once I get myself financially stable !

Sadly divorce seems to be the norm today. Stay strong. After my own divorce I cleaned houses. It allowed me to be there for my children before and after school. My children are grown now. It will get easier. 😊

[@plethoraofpaper6388]

Hi Jessica - I am a more recent subscriber, but love your channel nonetheless. I cant even imagine the difficulties you face going through a seperation. I will definitely keep you and your children in my prayers. Stay strong and keep on being you! xo Mary

[@kykategray]

You will be in my prayers, Jessica. When my parents divorced, the best thing my mom did was never talk bad about my dad, and I can see you are doing the same thing. Your ex is a foolish man and I’m sorry you’ve had to go through this.

[@kimpeasester]

Do you have a copy machine? If you do you could copy the covers of the golden books and perhaps use them as the new journal covers. Not sure what you use for your journals but if it's cardboard you can just glue the image on that after covering the whole journal with a base . Do you know what I'm trying to say?

[@mariettajrgensen8020]

I know how you feell I whas alone whit 3 kids and this whas so hard 😢😢❤i am still alone ❤

[@michellebrouillard9814]

Hang in there, sending love ❤️ and prayers I tried to join your journal tier earlier but was unable to figure out how to do it

[@pamelashipman1414]

This must have been so difficult to share. God bless.

[@patriciaouellette9366]

God Bless you.

[@thehouseofjane]

Sending hugs and good wishes! It's rough, especially when you have young children. I hope you earn more income on YT. I earn very little, definitely not enough to pay the bills.

[@feedthebirdies]

I wonder if you could offer so many custom journals each month to help with income? You make really pretty books and I think you’d get some buyers for sure. 🎀

[@PaperTerrace]

Oh they’d sell instantly but my entire month is taken up by Patreon paks (I send 130ish a month) and then a week of pre filming a full month and literally never even having 24 hrs off for a break haha so unfortunately I can’t fit that in. I make 15 journals a month for Patreon which is where people can get one :)

Wishing you all the best for your life with your two beautiful children. I was a regular viewer years ago, before you started the process of having a second child, (which, of course turned out to be Arlo)! Life got in the way and I stopped watching but have been back a while and sensed a change... guessed it was something like you so honestly disclosed on the this video. Ugh, sorry. So sorry. My parents divorced when I was two years old. I don't remember, but my mother had custody of me and my infant brother, and she said I acted out a lot. Is Hans paying his full share of child support? This was always a conversation growing up and I feel very strong about.... all I can say is he BETTER be, and keeping a good relationship with the kids. My father wasn't good at either one of those things. I really hope Hans is. Sending love ❤

[@LBJ6362]

I appreciate you telling your story. Picking up on little things, I assumed you had gotten separated. Or, maybe, because I'm in the same situation. 2 3/4 years ago, my husband and I separated, not expecting it either. Two kids still at home, but in high school (now in college). I'm so grateful I work from home, 3 drivers with one car...not easy. I was living in Northern VA, which is extremely expensive...too expensive. I had cut out everything imaginable, but finally said enough. I just moved to OK since the cost of living is much more affordable. Do I like it? Not particularly, but I'll be able to get back on my feet. I lived outside Vancouver for 7 yrs, and really wanted to be back in the NW, but yikes, it's gotten sooo expensive 😢...maybe in a few years. We'll see. Perhaps I'll be back and then I can give you a chunk of my hoard 😬 we have the same style 😉 hence, why I follow you haha. Hang in there sister, everything will work out and will be better than ever before ❤

[@susanmorris5520]

Good afternoon Jessica❤️🙏😘. Thank you for being as open as you wanted and also, you have a right to keep as much as you want private too. I do remember a little from you cause I’ve watched a lot of your older videos and you have mentioned it in an older video and I do remember you having to move your kids from the one school to another. I do however have a question to ask and it’s ok if you don’t want to answer but, haven’t you been able to alimony from him since you’ve been married to him and also child support too for your kids? I know you are smart and can do whatever it takes you to be able to live and finish raising your kids too. They do still get to see him right? I do remember they got to go stay with him so do they still do that too? You’re smart and tough and I know you can do this and I wish I could help you but I am on a fixed income and don’t do Patreon or even any kind of social media either. Anyway, it was so sweet of your two members to send things to you to help with your stash. Cool things for you to work with too. So, hang in there and take it just one day at a time and please, make time for you ok? You have to continue to take care of you cause I know your kids are your world.🥰❤️. Do take care and have a blessed day and I’m sending you hugs and love always. Sue M. Clearwater, Florida ❤️🥰🙏😘😺👍🏻🦋😎🌴❌⭕️

[@PaperTerrace]

Hello and the whole divorce process is so expensive to even get started with, but I def will just say in general I do get help in different ways financially. Thats all I want to say on that subject :) and they do see him as well!
