I had my son in college - we were such a team. Now I’m 37, married and have two little girls too, but my son is about to turn 17. Take it from someone who is painfully aware of how fast it goes and can see beyond the “but I think she’s ready, she might be bored” thoughts - bigger picture - keep her with you an extra year and start her later. She has the rest of her life to adult. Give her the gift of one more year of childhood and yourself the gift of one more year of your family together.
Yes! I kept my son home longer because my daughter is 10 years older than him. They change and grow so much more quickly once they start school. If you’re able, keep them little
We were offered the opportunity to move our oldest son up a year. We kept him where he was. He thrived. My husband’s motive was “I want him to excel. If he moves up- he’s average.” 😮😅
As a therapist that has watched your channel for many years, I think you would be a wonderful therapist. You have a unique way of connecting with people which is helpful in the field. You are a comfort creator for me. After a long day of hard clients, it’s like sitting with a friend and taking my mind off the day. Thank you for being you. ❤
Therapist here as well! I totally agree. Jessica, you would be a fantastic therapist. Been watching you for years and I’ve never commented before but this pulled me in lol
I turned 40 this year- have worked in medical as a nutrition health educator for the past 20 years and I am just now signing up to go back to school to get my master’s in school counseling because I’m ready for something different. I love that we all ❤ & have Jessica in common 🥰
Social worker/therapist here as well. I completely agree and connected with your comment. Jessica is definitely a comfort creator for me as well after a long day. I think she’d be a great therapist too!
At 72 I am probably your oldest subscriber (Taylor Wynn's as well) but both of you give me such joy! I love your vlogs and makeup videos. I'm still a makeup/skincare "addict". I'm a retired 4th grade teacher. I would NEVER go back to teaching with the way things are; with student behavior, some parent behavior, school shootings, etc etc. It's such a shame that schools aren't still a fun, safe and educational place to be!
Amen Jann…..A 70 year young fan here. Also former teacher, would not do that in these circumstances. Wish for my grandsons sake that he could go to,school 20 years ago with teachers I worked with. But with strong family and support I know he will be ok. I too love Jess and her channel and all she is generous enough to share with us. To all, be well & be happy.
Jann, my husband is a 7th and 8th grade civics teacher. We are both 27 years old. He is burnt out and is already thinking of leaving teaching just 5 years in. Teaching is not the way it used to be. Not sure if it is a nationwide issue, but there are not many college graduates coming into teaching. I do believe there will be an even bigger teacher shortage in the years to come.
My birthday is November 30. I went to pre- first between kindergarten and prefirst. I was kinda wild, from repeating some stuff maybe? but it was definitely nice to be older in later school years!!
Have to share this: my mother just passed last week and I'm watching this to distract my brain. So, then you're also talking about various careers in one lifetime. I'm on my 3rd career at age 60 and am so glad I made the switch. So, yes, you are one of my comfort RUclipsrs and I thank you for helping me through a hard time
Considering the fact I'm blind, MUCH older than you, don't wear makeup and listen to ALL of your videos, I would definitely listen to a Disney video. I just LOVE your personality and it shines through while I'm listening. 💗💗💗💗
I agree, I don't care about the makeup really, or grocery hauls, or declutters, etc. But I care about Jessica. She could make this whole channel about toilet paper and I would be here for it! Lol. I just adore her and she makes things I'm not normally interested in, interesting!
@@womanofacertainage5892 Aww, thanks so very much. Like I mentioned, I don't wear makeup anymore, but I love listening to Jessica's videos. Every once in a while, I'll call my nieces (who are in their late 20s) and tell them about Jessica's recommendations. Again, thanks for the comment as it made my day!!! 💜💜💜💜
Whatever your family is going through, I feel for you. I hope things start looking up and you see the light at the end of the tunnel. My dad is having a lot of health issues and it’s very hard to see him hurting so much. It always puts life into perspective and reminds you what’s most important.
You’re totally my comfort RUclipsr! I talk about you and Tyler to my husband like, “you know my friends Jessica and Tyler?”😂 you really do have such great big sister vibes☺️
It’s 10:15 pm where I live here in Mexico and I totally relate lol and I am drinking coffee lol 😆 ❤i enjoy her videos I feel like Jess is the friend I never had 🥲
I'd never heard of the phrase "Comfort RUclipsr" but that definitely resonates. You not only curate comfort for so many of us, but you've also created a community of comfort. Prime Example: I was just reading through the comments and found several other parents who are thinking of / or decided to have their kid start kindergarten at 6 rather than 5. My son is a June baby and we have been thinking through the same thing; do we start him at 5 or hold off and start him at 6... So thank you for providing comfort on this dreary Monday morning :)
When I was debating the kindergarten sooner or later question with my daughter, I spoke to a kindergarten teacher. She said "my 6es lead and my 5s follow. And when I've checked in on them later in life, that remains true." We made the decision to wait and never regretted it. They're just that much more equipped and experienced with an extra year under their belt and that head start remains throughout their lives.
I am a 3rd grade teacher and my daughter owns a preschool and teaches 4 year olds. We have had many conversations about whether to start a child in Kinder or wait another year. It is certainly a case by case decision. Just from seeing Gigi in videos and hearing you talk about her, she seems to be ¨advanced¨ for her age, in a good way! You and Tyler have given her so many great experiences in her life and that has helped to shape who she is. I know you are a teacher as well, so I´m not saying anything you don´t already know. I would say she is definitely ready for Kinder. I teach in a Title 1 school and we have so many students who have never been away from the town we live in or not seen anything but the state we live in. Gigi has seen so many different places in her 4 years thus far. I feel that providing those opportunities to see other places and experience new things helps with brain development and the ability to socially interact with different types of people. I think she will thrive and love Kindergarten!
Yes, I agree. My bday is 7-3 so I started kindergarten at 5 (never went to preschool) and I was glad I graduated at 17. But hey, I don't even have children. Lol but Gigi seems like this adorable little adult 🥰 She's got this.
My daughter was the youngest in her class, never went to preschool. She was the valedictorian of her class, went on to graduate from the Naval Academy and Med school. Gigi will be fine.
I’ve been an educator for 25 years and also have seen and heard many parents say they were glad that they waited and sent their child to kindergarten later but none - not a single one that said that they were glad that they sent them earlier. Experiences are great but the tools that they need to be successful in kindergarten are what is key. Whenever anyone asks me I always say wait another year - you won’t be sorry. You are the one that sees your child the most and so it is an individual decision and an individualized to your child decision. Praying that you have peace with whatever decision you make.
We’ll be having our daughter be old for her kindergarten class. I worried about her being 6 and “too old,” and then I realized there’s literally NO rush. Having her in pre-k longer will give her an extra year of play-based learning, and more social and emotional maturity before being expected to sit through full day kindergarten. It’s such an individual choice but I really don’t want to rush her into K just because she’s “old enough.” ❤
I love glass straws! With all the other types of reusable straws I feel like I can’t see if there is anything gross in there even if you clean them thoroughly…
I don’t even care too much about Disney as a Floridian myself lol but a video podcast with you and Ty would be everything!! I could listen to y’all talk about anything and your dynamic makes me so happy. I’ve said it before but as a young single person, y’all really are a great example for me of what a healthy relationship looks like. I’m excited 😊
I was a late June birthday. It never affected me being young for my class. There were many kids younger than me with July and August bdays. Also, my son was an early June bday and he went on time as well. Wasn't a second thought. He was as ready for school as anyone born in September. He's now a successful 24 year old. Ultimately it's your choice depending on your child (Gigi seems pretty well adjusted). I would only worry if a child was behind in learning or socially. Whatever choice you make will turn out fine.
I love your coffee chats/vlogs/makeup whatever videos! You've been a comfort youtuber for me for 7 years now! It feels like sitting down for coffee with a friend and you've taught me so much about makeup! I never buy a makeup product unless I watch your takes first:)
When my oldest son started kindergarten he was 4. He turned 5 two weeks after school started. I was worried about him being ready, but his preschool teacher said he was ready. He did really good! I am glad we put him in when we did.
I have three channels I watch consistently. Yours is one of them. I’m 30 years older than you are and my kids are 29 and 27. It doesn’t matter. You are fun and I get a lot out of your various styles of videos. Hugs to you.
I practically grew up on Taylor Swift so there’s no way Midnights could ever reach that level of sentimentality for me, but being unbiased, it was really good and I even said to a couple people that it might be my favorite album of hers. Cuz the thing with Taylor, and I don’t think people like to admit it, but she wasn’t exactly the best singer when she started. Shocking, a long time Swiftie just said Taylor couldn’t sing, no she could sing, she just didn’t have the experience and skill that she has now. Songwriting has always been her strong suit and it’s only gotten better, alongside her vocals, and I think her full growth as a singer and songwriter shows on Midnights. Lavender Haze has been stuck in my head a lot and Labyrinth a little. I need to listen to it more and really figure out what my favorites actually are. But I’m also not the type of fan to love every song or album from people, whether they’re newer to me or someone I’ve listened to since childhood, and honestly I didn’t really like evermore. I thought folklore was better but no body, no crime was the only one on evermore that I listened to since I heard the whole thing. And I guess it’s just not really my vibe and that’s ok because other people do love it and she has a ton of other music that I enjoy. Idk I’m just sick of that toxic side of fandoms being like if you dislike anything this person/group puts out then you’re a fake fan when it’s seriously not that deep. But anyway there’s my Ted talk on Taylor 😅
I agree! I’ve been a fan of hers since love story. Folklore and evermore are by far my least favourite albums, purely because that’s not the type of music I like, but her lyrics are much stronger than they used to be. Fave midnights songs: mastermind, would’ve should’ve could’ve, karma
It’s really going to depend on her what her level is whether you hold her back in preschool another year. I was born in June and started kindergarten the year I turned 5 so I was one of the youngest in my class but because I’ve always been more mature for my age starting kindergarten that year was the best choice for me. On the other hand my sister was born in July and started kindergarten the year she turned 5 and it was totally the wrong choice for her. She was a little behind maturity wise and really struggled. She ended up being held behind in first grade and has always been embarrassed by it but it could have been avoided if she had just started a year later. I would say definitely talk to her preschool teachers and see what they think as well.
My son’s birthday was 4 days before the cutoff date for kindergarten. He was savvy, played a lot with older kids, was totally ready to start school. But during the school year he was teased about being younger, his confidence began to slip,and we decided to have him repeat kindergarten to give him that strength back. For him that worked out very well. So if you feel it’s right to start Gigi, and then she has some struggles, that is another option. You can tailor a plan just for her as she grows.
You are my comfort RUclipsr. You’re just a ray of sunshine. You and I left the classroom right around the same time and I have found myself with a different career. I kept thinking, if she can do it, so can I. Thank you. You’re absolutely lovely.
Currently bingeing last years Vlogmas and just watched the episode where Tyler did the mute drywall scene, cracking up. 😂😂😂 Also, I think your theater and teaching career have prepared you for RUclips because in theater you’re essentially a personality on stage and with teaching your passing on knowledge to others. You’re my favorite *personality* if you will on RUclips and you teach us SOOO much. We learn about makeup, coffee, kids, cooking, gift ideas, drywall and carpet shampooing from Tyler 😂😂 seriously though we learn so much and you guys keep us laughing the entire time. I literally feel like I’m watching a sitcom sometimes watching you guys lol. So doing theatre and teaching you walked right into this world girl lol glad to have you here ❤
Jess! I needed to hear that about careers aren’t a life sentence. I am 23, recently graduated with a BA and considering my masters. I put so much pressure on myself to have a life plan and figure career out while also wanting a family (newly wed over here). I needed to be reminder that life is short and the more variety of experience the more rich life can be. You reminded me to take the pressure off. Thank you!
I've never heard that term "comfort RUclipsr" but you are totally mine! I rewatch old vlogs, especially vlogmas, when I'm down or anxious, and you and Tyler make me so happy with your beautiful family. You and Emily Noel give me so much comfort and restore my faith in humanity!
I have a June birthday and I started kinder when I was 5. I absolutely loved being the baby of the class all throughout grade school and even through college! I got the feeling the kids that were held back did not like being the oldest and felt judged 😢
I know we live completely different lives but I feel drawn to your channel bc you remind me of the girls from my small hometown I grew up with. I lost touch with them bc I went on a different path but your videos give me a lot of comfort. You’re so cute and your voice is calming. I feel kinda weird bc I feel like I know so much about you but you don’t know anything about me. You’re a strong woman deserving of all the blessings in your life 💗
You're definitely a comfort creator to me. I look forward to watching your videos. Sometimes I have to save them so I can sit and watch them and sometimes I can do that right away when you upload. It's like hanging out with a good friend who loves makeup too. Thanks for being that comfort and sharing your light with us. ❤️ ❤️
My daughter and I watch all of your videos. We've been here for at least 3 years or more. We so look forward to vlogmas. You guys are such a great team. Your girls are so presious, we love seeing how fast they grow. I can't believe how much happier you seem, lately. You and Tyler are such wonderful parents! I'm sorry for what you may be going thru, behind the scenes. I pray it will be better very soon. Much love and happiness to both of you.💕
Jess you are definitely one of my comfort RUclipsrs, I'll sometimes just put your vids on in the background whilst I'm working or cooking, I hope you know how much we value the effort that goes into your videos 💕
You and Taylor are definitely my comfort RUclipsrs. I love to watch you both when I just want to feel like I’m listening to a friend and bonus, I get to hear about makeup! ❤ I’m a May birthday and my parents held me back one year because I was little haha. I’m still a shorty but I grew a bit and then started kindergarten. I was 19 years old when I graduated high school but it was always fun being older!
That’s exactly what you are… comfort… no particular structure, no particular rules or themes… and that’s why I watch. Like today, I felt like I was led to this video in particular.. and I found out exactly why when you mentioned about career change and having one life… and taking that leap of faith. I’m on it Jess.. thank you for confirming!
Jessica, I'm a social worker who works directly with womens mental health/substance abuse and I want you to know that you have been my comfort RUclipsr for years. Your videos help me detach from my job and have self care that keeps me able to be in my career. You may not be a therapist but you provide so much for those that are!!
I always enjoy coffee chats! I love how you are so protective and careful about what you share about anyone be it family or friends. Definitely could see you being a therapist 🙂
Taylor Swift, I think now that she's over 30, her fans aren't 10 anymore so she feels better about just being who she is rather than editing herself for really young fans. She gave herself permission to grow up and it's great. The new music is edgier, more adult, and thoughtful. I like it. It's been 17 years, so it's time. lol Reeses will always be number 1. lol
Love your coffee chats! I haven’t had to make the decision to hold back my kiddo, but I know several people who have, and none of them regret it. Also, I love that you and Tyler make musical theater a priority. That is so awesome that you keep that part of your life alive and fulfilled by prioritizing seeing them together! Love that!
From what we know of you from online, you would be a fabulous therapist! Like your calm and kind manner, your thoughtfulness, your acceptance of others.
I have three children and each of their birthdays fell into this zone for beginning kindergarten for the start of school. We opted to increase the days per week in preschool, from 3 to 5, to help them transition easier. I highly recommend! Not only were the kids benefitted by easing into the changes and expectations of a full week in the classroom, but we as parents were helped in adjusting to the new routine and gave our brains a bit more time to catch up to the fact that our "babies" were growing up! Childhood flies by too fast!!!! Wishing you and Tyler all the best!
Totally feel you with holding our little girl back. Her birthday is December so we don’t have a choice but I feel like it will benefit her a lot! Thanks for all your videos. You are for sure a comfort to this mom of 2.
Hi, Jess!! It's been so nice sitting, with coffee in hand, and spending some quality time with you!! You always bring a smile to my day!! You're a joy, and I totally adore you, Jess!! Thank you for being so wonderful!! Have a fantastic weekend with your family!! ❤️
I am so glad I caught this as you posted it! I rarely get a Saturday morning to just sit and drink coffee. I have my coffee and yes, it is “comforting” to spend time with a “friend”, not being creepy but you know what I mean. Anyway, now that I’ve been weird, good day! 😅
Jessica, you’re the first RUclipsr I watched and now I watch a few others but I always wait until I have time to sit down and watch yours completely uninterrupted!! I enjoy all of your content. I’m 62 so I’m old enough to be your mother but I listen to you and I’m like yep, I’ve done that!! You’re just a joy to watch! And you have taught me so much about makeup and the different brands and techniques and how to apply it the correct way. I also love your family Disney vlogs, they are so fun to watch!! You and Tyler have a beautiful family and I get to watch you all and see Disney all at the same time. Thank you Jessica for all your great videos. I appreciate being able to watch someone who is down to earth !!!
Thank you for all of the comfort you brought me tonight! I am a 4th grade teacher who had the hardest day I have ever in 8 years teaching! Catching up on your videos has been just what the doc ordered! You rock, Jessica!
So many things I want to comment about, I wish I had made a list because I know I will forget something! I'm thrilled you're going to continue with vlogmas! I know it can get stressful for both you and Ty, but you always manage to come through. You are definitely a comfort RUclipsr to me as well, so whoever made that comment, hit the nail on the head. I would love to see you two doing a podcast! And I'd like a video option on RUclips if you can muster it! Thank you for all you do, my dude. Sending you and the family all my love, and praying the months get easier ❤️
I am 40 and currently back in college for psychology. After being a stay at home mom for the past 14 years I finally decided it was time to do something for myself. I have been loving it so much!!
I've had the weekend from hell at work, hour wise and have spread this video out over time to 'soothe' me during my 'break' times. So yes, You are definitely the lil sister, comfort youtuber for me. I have 3 of ya'll I MUST watch every single upload, you, Taylor and Mallory Brooke. Of course I watch others like Kristi etc but you 3 are my 'support, comfort and imaginary friends/framily. I don't have a lot of that since the move from TN to TX. So especially now even 6 years later I NEED this. I've watched all 3 since WELL before the move and you guys have all gotten me through some truly rough times in my life.
That bronzer really is nice! You are one of my comfort RUclipsrs for sure. Maybe relaxing is a better word? Your “big sister” energy is very dependable 💕
Speaking of career change, I found your channel back in 2017, during my first university degree when I was pursuing 5-12 education. I ended up trying out retail for 2 years. Now I am in my senior year of my second bachelors degree in Anthropology and so excited for my future career. (and you are still my go to for content.) Thank you for what you do
I’m an august baby and was literally the youngest in my class. But, I always in pre/k get along with the kids in my grade, not the ones a grade below me. I say if she’s ready, go for it!
Also my granddaughter missed the birthday by a couple days, at first I was bummed she had to wait, but now I'm glad, she was so ready to go. Keeping them home is always a good idea, especially if you have a healthy homelife
You popped up on my RUclips one time. I watched you and have continued bc you are a comfort, and do normal makeup! I like a structured day as well, so I’ve created my own structure as a stay at home mom.
Sending you big hugs! It's so valuable to acknowledge that hard seasons in life hit us all, and we don't have to pretend everything is sunny skies all the time. From what you have shared, I've wondered if there is a divorce in the family. As someone whose parents divorced the week my second child was born, it's a level of stress and pain I am still recovering from. It's so hard to figure out how much you are able to forgive as the family picks up the pieces and moves forward. I could be totally off base here, but just wanted to share that I've been there and know just how difficult it is. You and Tyler are just the sweetest and have brought me so much comfort, especially during the loneliness and isolation of the pandemic. And whatever you do in life, you will be amazing at it because that is just who you are!
You are definitely my "comfort youtuber"! You and Tyler are both so real; so bright and your videos are (to me, and others) so relatable. Life has it's challenges and I subscribe to quite a few others, but look forward (please don't freak out, I just have a boring drab life - I work in pharmaceuticals - eek!) to seeing you chat about whatever is on your mind and frankly, i enjoy your makeup choices , as well as opinions on books, TV and travel. So many others just seem to be too into themselves, which makes me tend to no longer view them. Stay as you are! Best always and don't change a thing! Cheers...x
You’re definitely my comfort RUclipsr 🥰 Great mantra about kids’ milestones. Waaaay too often people get hung up about them. It’s so sad to see so many needlessly stressing. Babies/kids are people too!!-and every person is sooo different! Some will crawl at 5mo some at a year. Some will get married at 18, some not till 30 etc 🤷🏼♀️
Sending positive vibes to you and your family! 💕✨️ I love your channel! You're the RUclipsr who made me spend the more money on makeup 😅 but I have to thank you for all the products I really enjoy and made me discover! 😍
Coming from a mom of three adults, my firstborn was older in his class and much further ahead than his classmates. My last child was literally the youngest in her class. From the moment of her birth, so was a go-getter. She just wanted, as was able to, do things beyond her age. She thrived in school and would've been completely bored had I held her back. The best advice, YOU are her parents, YOU know Gigi, no one knows better than you what she is capable of!! She'll be fine either way!! Just like my kiddos were!! Blessings to you as you navigate your familys' sadness. That's always a difficult time. I love your channel and content!!!! ✌🏼💚🙏🏼
My daughter is 3y but in prek right now but even as a 1yr old/toddler I’ve noticed she is better being one of the youngest in her class. I work at her daycare/preschool so I’ve gotten to see her being the oldest/leader in the class and also the youngest/follower. She just absorbs so much more being with older kids, when she’s the oldest in the class most of the skills they’re learning and trying to work on or skills that they aren’t ready for she’s already been working on so she’ll get bored (like correctly holding a pencil or crayon, she’s been doing since she was 1; also scissors, she’s already able to cut in a straight line on dotted lines but some kids older than her can’t hold scissors the right way)
Loved your chat about careers, I'm 36 and have been a nurse for almost 14 years, 17 including my training, and whilst I love it I've always thought about branching off into teaching, or therapy, something that also helps people but isn't direct nursing. I recently because a workplace union rep (I'm based in Scotland) and maybe one day I'll go into that in more depth as I'm really really enjoying it!
I was a really picky eater as a child but as an adult I've never been and loved cooking, vegetables and most foods. Re kindergarten I don't have kids but I started early, plus being a shy child I did struggle and would have loved an extra year as a full on kid! Lots of love to both your families ❤
I’m late watching this video 😬 but I wanted to share our experience with holding our June bday daughter back. She was slated to go to first grade this year and all summer we were on the fence about giving her another year of Kinder (her first year was at a private church program, this year was at public school). When I tell you that it’s only have way thru the year and we are so glad we gave her another year. Her confidence is SOARING. She leads and helps her peers and is actually enjoying school rather than feeling that stress to keep up. ❤
I've traveled quite a few places internationally over the years and I agree, there has always been something special about London for me. I just have good feelings there.
You are such a breath of fresh air. You have the most amazing personality. I’m in a WAY different phase of life than you (nearly 48) but no matter what you are talking about you are so relatable. 😊
I wore platform boots with my flare jeans. I'm so excited the platform boots are back too, but I haven't wore heels in years. I really want to try a pair on though. You and your vlogs are definitely what I watch for comfort. The vlogs you and Tyler posted during the pandemic helped me get through it.
You are definitely one of my comfort RUclipsrs! Both your channel and Tyler‘s channel. I remember always wearing either wedges or chunky sneakers with my flared jeans in high school. We did a combo of baby bird weeding and purées with both of our children, and I feel like it worked out really well for our family. our kids (Who are just about to turn five, and 2 1/2) are picky about some foods, but they eat pretty well, including vegetables.
I was 6 when I went to kindergarten as a late summer baby and it was the best thing. Socially and emotionally kids are more ready at 6 to learn in a traditional classroom setting. The extra year of preschool is great 😊
You are SO my comfort youtuber!! You're my Saturday morning, drinking coffee comfort youtuber for CERTAIN! There's not a Saturday that goes by that I don't watch a video of yours - even if I've watched it BEFORE!
Have been going through a bumpy couple of years in my life and u have been my comfort youtuber for very very long… Thank u so much for all that u do n the way u make me feel when i need it!!!❤❤❤
You are 100% a comfort channel for me! Relaxing in the bath or winding down at night. So excited to have vlogmas to watch while I’m postpartum this time!
Lots of great moms chiming in, so I'll just say trust your own judgment. My daughter is 29 now and getting ready to start her own family, so kindergarten decisions seem like a literal lifetime ago. I enjoy these casual chatty videos
I had my son in college - we were such a team. Now I’m 37, married and have two little girls too, but my son is about to turn 17. Take it from someone who is painfully aware of how fast it goes and can see beyond the “but I think she’s ready, she might be bored” thoughts - bigger picture - keep her with you an extra year and start her later. She has the rest of her life to adult. Give her the gift of one more year of childhood and yourself the gift of one more year of your family together.
I agree with this. If it's not necessary, keep them home as long as you can. Bc once real school starts, it doesn't slow down, it can't!
Definitely agree with this! They grow up way to fast as it is :(
Start later!! Jessica you know as a teacher how much that one year can change schooling for kids!
Yes! I kept my son home longer because my daughter is 10 years older than him. They change and grow so much more quickly once they start school. If you’re able, keep them little
We were offered the opportunity to move our oldest son up a year. We kept him where he was. He thrived.
My husband’s motive was “I want him to excel. If he moves up- he’s average.” 😮😅
As a therapist that has watched your channel for many years, I think you would be a wonderful therapist. You have a unique way of connecting with people which is helpful in the field.
You are a comfort creator for me. After a long day of hard clients, it’s like sitting with a friend and taking my mind off the day.
Thank you for being you. ❤
100% same! Social worker here! ❤
@@emcarveth Yes! ❤️ SW is the best way to go.
Therapist here as well! I totally agree. Jessica, you would be a fantastic therapist. Been watching you for years and I’ve never commented before but this pulled me in lol
I turned 40 this year- have worked in medical as a nutrition health educator for the past 20 years and I am just now signing up to go back to school to get my master’s in school counseling because I’m ready for something different. I love that we all ❤ & have Jessica in common 🥰
Social worker/therapist here as well. I completely agree and connected with your comment. Jessica is definitely a comfort creator for me as well after a long day. I think she’d be a great therapist too!
You have a life honey don’t worry about Instagram and tik tok. We found you here on RUclips we look for you here.
Amen! Jess, you were the first RUclips channel I ever watched and I’m here for the long haul!
At 72 I am probably your oldest subscriber (Taylor Wynn's as well) but both of you give me such joy! I love your vlogs and makeup videos. I'm still a makeup/skincare "addict". I'm a retired 4th grade teacher. I would NEVER go back to teaching with the way things are; with student behavior, some parent behavior, school shootings, etc etc. It's such a shame that schools aren't still a fun, safe and educational place to be!
Amen Jann…..A 70 year young fan here. Also former teacher, would not do that in these circumstances. Wish for my grandsons sake that he could go to,school 20 years ago with teachers I worked with. But with strong family and support I know he will be ok. I too love Jess and her channel and all she is generous enough to share with us. To all, be well & be happy.
76 former teacher and principal here 😘
I’m not far behind you and have been fans of both of them for a long time. ❤
75 here!
Jann, my husband is a 7th and 8th grade civics teacher. We are both 27 years old. He is burnt out and is already thinking of leaving teaching just 5 years in. Teaching is not the way it used to be. Not sure if it is a nationwide issue, but there are not many college graduates coming into teaching. I do believe there will be an even bigger teacher shortage in the years to come.
I don’t think any parent has ever regretted waiting an extra year to send their child to school. ❤
Totally agree!!!
As a 26 year veteran teacher, I can say that I’ve never known a parent to regret starting school at 6, but plenty who regret starting at 5.
My birthday is November 30. I went to pre- first between kindergarten and prefirst. I was kinda wild, from repeating some stuff maybe? but it was definitely nice to be older in later school years!!
Have to share this: my mother just passed last week and I'm watching this to distract my brain. So, then you're also talking about various careers in one lifetime. I'm on my 3rd career at age 60 and am so glad I made the switch. So, yes, you are one of my comfort RUclipsrs and I thank you for helping me through a hard time
So sorry for the loss of your mom.🙏🏻❤️
Lorraine, my heart goes out to you. I pray for strength and guidance for you in this time.
Sorry for your loss! ❤️
❤️ so sorry for your loss 🙏
I'm so sorry for your loss.. I lost my mom in 2020 and it wrecked me. I'm sending lots of love your way 💛
Considering the fact I'm blind, MUCH older than you, don't wear makeup and listen to ALL of your videos, I would definitely listen to a Disney video. I just LOVE your personality and it shines through while I'm listening. 💗💗💗💗
Just wanted to say "hi" Kristi, and glad you're here in this awesome community Jess has brought together.
I agree, I don't care about the makeup really, or grocery hauls, or declutters, etc. But I care about Jessica. She could make this whole channel about toilet paper and I would be here for it! Lol. I just adore her and she makes things I'm not normally interested in, interesting!
@@womanofacertainage5892 Aww, thanks so very much. Like I mentioned, I don't wear makeup anymore, but I love listening to Jessica's videos. Every once in a while, I'll call my nieces (who are in their late 20s) and tell them about Jessica's recommendations. Again, thanks for the comment as it made my day!!! 💜💜💜💜
@@kzfingerprint She'd probably recommend the BEST toilet paper ever. lol
@@kristipatterson9952 Yay! I'll look for you in future comment sections! I'm really looking forward to Vlogmas, too!
Whatever your family is going through, I feel for you. I hope things start looking up and you see the light at the end of the tunnel. My dad is having a lot of health issues and it’s very hard to see him hurting so much. It always puts life into perspective and reminds you what’s most important.
I hope your dad will be okay 🤗
You’re totally my comfort RUclipsr! I talk about you and Tyler to my husband like, “you know my friends Jessica and Tyler?”😂 you really do have such great big sister vibes☺️
Same!
I absolutely want my boyfriend and I to be friends with Jess and Tyler! They are the best!
Same! My wife knows them as the Disney Baby Mooning Couple! ^ .^
not me laying down with my coffee to relax on Saturday and THIS video comes in. The gift that keeps on giving
It’s 10:15 pm where I live here in Mexico and I totally relate lol and I am drinking coffee lol 😆 ❤i enjoy her videos I feel like Jess is the friend I never had 🥲
She does so much ❤️
I could see you being an excellent therapist! You are very warm, inviting and relatable.
I'd never heard of the phrase "Comfort RUclipsr" but that definitely resonates. You not only curate comfort for so many of us, but you've also created a community of comfort. Prime Example: I was just reading through the comments and found several other parents who are thinking of / or decided to have their kid start kindergarten at 6 rather than 5. My son is a June baby and we have been thinking through the same thing; do we start him at 5 or hold off and start him at 6... So thank you for providing comfort on this dreary Monday morning :)
you are certainly my comfort youtuber! there’s no one else i’ve watched as consistently as long as i have watched you.
Same! I love when she did that Jessica Day 😊 shopping and took the time to have Mc Donalds eating in the parking lot 😂😂😂 I’ve done that
When I was debating the kindergarten sooner or later question with my daughter, I spoke to a kindergarten teacher. She said "my 6es lead and my 5s follow. And when I've checked in on them later in life, that remains true." We made the decision to wait and never regretted it. They're just that much more equipped and experienced with an extra year under their belt and that head start remains throughout their lives.
I am a 3rd grade teacher and my daughter owns a preschool and teaches 4 year olds. We have had many conversations about whether to start a child in Kinder or wait another year. It is certainly a case by case decision. Just from seeing Gigi in videos and hearing you talk about her, she seems to be ¨advanced¨ for her age, in a good way! You and Tyler have given her so many great experiences in her life and that has helped to shape who she is. I know you are a teacher as well, so I´m not saying anything you don´t already know. I would say she is definitely ready for Kinder. I teach in a Title 1 school and we have so many students who have never been away from the town we live in or not seen anything but the state we live in. Gigi has seen so many different places in her 4 years thus far. I feel that providing those opportunities to see other places and experience new things helps with brain development and the ability to socially interact with different types of people. I think she will thrive and love Kindergarten!
Well said.
Yes, I agree. My bday is 7-3 so I started kindergarten at 5 (never went to preschool) and I was glad I graduated at 17. But hey, I don't even have children. Lol but Gigi seems like this adorable little adult 🥰 She's got this.
My daughter was the youngest in her class, never went to preschool. She was the valedictorian of her class, went on to graduate from the Naval Academy and Med school. Gigi will be fine.
When your comfort RUclipsr posts about being a comfort RUclipsr on your birthday ❤ This is gonna be a good one! Love these chatty videos 🥰
Happy birthday!
@@shelbyanumandla7499 thank you :)
Happy happy birthday!
Happy birthday 🎂
I’ve been an educator for 25 years and also have seen and heard many parents say they were glad that they waited and sent their child to kindergarten later but none - not a single one that said that they were glad that they sent them earlier. Experiences are great but the tools that they need to be successful in kindergarten are what is key. Whenever anyone asks me I always say wait another year - you won’t be sorry. You are the one that sees your child the most and so it is an individual decision and an individualized to your child decision. Praying that you have peace with whatever decision you make.
You are my favorite comfort youtuber. I don’t often comment, but since you mentioned that knowing that means a lot, happy to add.
We’ll be having our daughter be old for her kindergarten class. I worried about her being 6 and “too old,” and then I realized there’s literally NO rush. Having her in pre-k longer will give her an extra year of play-based learning, and more social and emotional maturity before being expected to sit through full day kindergarten. It’s such an individual choice but I really don’t want to rush her into K just because she’s “old enough.” ❤
I love glass straws! With all the other types of reusable straws I feel like I can’t see if there is anything gross in there even if you clean them thoroughly…
Me too! I also taste every other material type, too.
I don’t even care too much about Disney as a Floridian myself lol but a video podcast with you and Ty would be everything!! I could listen to y’all talk about anything and your dynamic makes me so happy. I’ve said it before but as a young single person, y’all really are a great example for me of what a healthy relationship looks like. I’m excited 😊
Yesssss. You ARE my comfort RUclipsr🥺
You and Tyler’s vlogs are a WARM BLANKET.
I was a late June birthday. It never affected me being young for my class. There were many kids younger than me with July and August bdays. Also, my son was an early June bday and he went on time as well. Wasn't a second thought. He was as ready for school as anyone born in September. He's now a successful 24 year old. Ultimately it's your choice depending on your child (Gigi seems pretty well adjusted). I would only worry if a child was behind in learning or socially. Whatever choice you make will turn out fine.
I love your coffee chats/vlogs/makeup whatever videos! You've been a comfort youtuber for me for 7 years now! It feels like sitting down for coffee with a friend and you've taught me so much about makeup! I never buy a makeup product unless I watch your takes first:)
When my oldest son started kindergarten he was 4. He turned 5 two weeks after school started. I was worried about him being ready, but his preschool teacher said he was ready. He did really good! I am glad we put him in when we did.
I have three channels I watch consistently. Yours is one of them. I’m 30 years older than you are and my kids are 29 and 27. It doesn’t matter. You are fun and I get a lot out of your various styles of videos.
Hugs to you.
YES, please video the podcast as well! The interactions between you and Tyler always make me smile.
I practically grew up on Taylor Swift so there’s no way Midnights could ever reach that level of sentimentality for me, but being unbiased, it was really good and I even said to a couple people that it might be my favorite album of hers. Cuz the thing with Taylor, and I don’t think people like to admit it, but she wasn’t exactly the best singer when she started. Shocking, a long time Swiftie just said Taylor couldn’t sing, no she could sing, she just didn’t have the experience and skill that she has now. Songwriting has always been her strong suit and it’s only gotten better, alongside her vocals, and I think her full growth as a singer and songwriter shows on Midnights. Lavender Haze has been stuck in my head a lot and Labyrinth a little. I need to listen to it more and really figure out what my favorites actually are. But I’m also not the type of fan to love every song or album from people, whether they’re newer to me or someone I’ve listened to since childhood, and honestly I didn’t really like evermore. I thought folklore was better but no body, no crime was the only one on evermore that I listened to since I heard the whole thing. And I guess it’s just not really my vibe and that’s ok because other people do love it and she has a ton of other music that I enjoy. Idk I’m just sick of that toxic side of fandoms being like if you dislike anything this person/group puts out then you’re a fake fan when it’s seriously not that deep. But anyway there’s my Ted talk on Taylor 😅
I agree!
I’ve been a fan of hers since love story. Folklore and evermore are by far my least favourite albums, purely because that’s not the type of music I like, but her lyrics are much stronger than they used to be.
Fave midnights songs: mastermind, would’ve should’ve could’ve, karma
It’s really going to depend on her what her level is whether you hold her back in preschool another year. I was born in June and started kindergarten the year I turned 5 so I was one of the youngest in my class but because I’ve always been more mature for my age starting kindergarten that year was the best choice for me. On the other hand my sister was born in July and started kindergarten the year she turned 5 and it was totally the wrong choice for her. She was a little behind maturity wise and really struggled. She ended up being held behind in first grade and has always been embarrassed by it but it could have been avoided if she had just started a year later. I would say definitely talk to her preschool teachers and see what they think as well.
My son’s birthday was 4 days before the cutoff date for kindergarten. He was savvy, played a lot with older kids, was totally ready to start school. But during the school year he was teased about being younger, his confidence began to slip,and we decided to have him repeat kindergarten to give him that strength back. For him that worked out very well. So if you feel it’s right to start Gigi, and then she has some struggles, that is another option. You can tailor a plan just for her as she grows.
You are my comfort RUclipsr. You’re just a ray of sunshine. You and I left the classroom right around the same time and I have found myself with a different career. I kept thinking, if she can do it, so can I. Thank you. You’re absolutely lovely.
Appreciate this from you. I left the classroom recently and wanting a change/pivot. It's difficult but I'm holding on to the positivity.
@@ialo5884 I’ve been out for 6 years. You can have a life outside the classroom. Good luck!
Currently bingeing last years Vlogmas and just watched the episode where Tyler did the mute drywall scene, cracking up. 😂😂😂 Also, I think your theater and teaching career have prepared you for RUclips because in theater you’re essentially a personality on stage and with teaching your passing on knowledge to others. You’re my favorite *personality* if you will on RUclips and you teach us SOOO much. We learn about makeup, coffee, kids, cooking, gift ideas, drywall and carpet shampooing from Tyler 😂😂 seriously though we learn so much and you guys keep us laughing the entire time. I literally feel like I’m watching a sitcom sometimes watching you guys lol. So doing theatre and teaching you walked right into this world girl lol glad to have you here ❤
I love them 😍 they are such a cute couple
You are my calm before the storm. I watch you and TW as I get ready for the nightshift in the ICU/ED. ❤
I wish I had held my daughter back. She had a July birthday. I think she would be doing better in school if I had waited.
Also night shifter working in the icu/Ed 🙋♀️🙋♀️ love her channel
@@stephgoodrow864 yes!!!!! 💪🏻
Jess! I needed to hear that about careers aren’t a life sentence. I am 23, recently graduated with a BA and considering my masters. I put so much pressure on myself to have a life plan and figure career out while also wanting a family (newly wed over here). I needed to be reminder that life is short and the more variety of experience the more rich life can be. You reminded me to take the pressure off. Thank you!
I've never heard that term "comfort RUclipsr" but you are totally mine! I rewatch old vlogs, especially vlogmas, when I'm down or anxious, and you and Tyler make me so happy with your beautiful family. You and Emily Noel give me so much comfort and restore my faith in humanity!
I have a June birthday and I started kinder when I was 5. I absolutely loved being the baby of the class all throughout grade school and even through college! I got the feeling the kids that were held back did not like being the oldest and felt judged 😢
I know we live completely different lives but I feel drawn to your channel bc you remind me of the girls from my small hometown I grew up with. I lost touch with them bc I went on a different path but your videos give me a lot of comfort. You’re so cute and your voice is calming. I feel kinda weird bc I feel like I know so much about you but you don’t know anything about me. You’re a strong woman deserving of all the blessings in your life 💗
You're definitely a comfort creator to me. I look forward to watching your videos. Sometimes I have to save them so I can sit and watch them and sometimes I can do that right away when you upload. It's like hanging out with a good friend who loves makeup too. Thanks for being that comfort and sharing your light with us. ❤️ ❤️
My daughter and I watch all of your videos. We've been here for at least 3 years or more. We so look forward to vlogmas. You guys are such a great team. Your girls are so presious, we love seeing how fast they grow. I can't believe how much happier you seem, lately. You and Tyler are such wonderful parents! I'm sorry for what you may be going thru, behind the scenes. I pray it will be better very soon. Much love and happiness to both of you.💕
Jess you are definitely one of my comfort RUclipsrs, I'll sometimes just put your vids on in the background whilst I'm working or cooking, I hope you know how much we value the effort that goes into your videos 💕
You and Taylor are definitely my comfort RUclipsrs. I love to watch you both when I just want to feel like I’m listening to a friend and bonus, I get to hear about makeup! ❤ I’m a May birthday and my parents held me back one year because I was little haha. I’m still a shorty but I grew a bit and then started kindergarten. I was 19 years old when I graduated high school but it was always fun being older!
That’s exactly what you are… comfort… no particular structure, no particular rules or themes… and that’s why I watch.
Like today, I felt like I was led to this video in particular.. and I found out exactly why when you mentioned about career change and having one life… and taking that leap of faith. I’m on it Jess.. thank you for confirming!
Jessica, I'm a social worker who works directly with womens mental health/substance abuse and I want you to know that you have been my comfort RUclipsr for years. Your videos help me detach from my job and have self care that keeps me able to be in my career. You may not be a therapist but you provide so much for those that are!!
I always enjoy coffee chats! I love how you are so protective and careful about what you share about anyone be it family or friends. Definitely could see you being a therapist 🙂
Taylor Swift, I think now that she's over 30, her fans aren't 10 anymore so she feels better about just being who she is rather than editing herself for really young fans. She gave herself permission to grow up and it's great. The new music is edgier, more adult, and thoughtful. I like it. It's been 17 years, so it's time. lol Reeses will always be number 1. lol
Love your coffee chats! I haven’t had to make the decision to hold back my kiddo, but I know several people who have, and none of them regret it. Also, I love that you and Tyler make musical theater a priority. That is so awesome that you keep that part of your life alive and fulfilled by prioritizing seeing them together! Love that!
Would anyone else like to watch Jessie vlog going back to school as a working parent and realizing a dream? 🙋♀️
You are definitely my comfort! My “little sister Jess!” Can’t wait for vlogmas and spending the season with you and your adorable little family!
My kids are older now so Christmas dosent have the same magic , but watching glogmas puts some of the magic back , I love it xx
Love you being my comfort RUclipsr. Have been for 7+ years! Praying for your family and the hard times.
From what we know of you from online, you would be a fabulous therapist! Like your calm and kind manner, your thoughtfulness, your acceptance of others.
Less than zero interest in a Disney podcast but there are millions of people out there who love it so I’m sure it would be popular!
Feel the same. Not one ounce of interest in disney. Wouldnt be watching
I have three children and each of their birthdays fell into this zone for beginning kindergarten for the start of school. We opted to increase the days per week in preschool, from 3 to 5, to help them transition easier. I highly recommend! Not only were the kids benefitted by easing into the changes and expectations of a full week in the classroom, but we as parents were helped in adjusting to the new routine and gave our brains a bit more time to catch up to the fact that our "babies" were growing up! Childhood flies by too fast!!!! Wishing you and Tyler all the best!
Totally feel you with holding our little girl back. Her birthday is December so we don’t have a choice but I feel like it will benefit her a lot! Thanks for all your videos. You are for sure a comfort to this mom of 2.
Hi, Jess!! It's been so nice sitting, with coffee in hand, and spending some quality time with you!! You always bring a smile to my day!! You're a joy, and I totally adore you, Jess!! Thank you for being so wonderful!! Have a fantastic weekend with your family!! ❤️
You are definitely my comfort youtuber. I binge watch your videos like crazy when I am going through rough patches in my life ❤
I am so glad I caught this as you posted it! I rarely get a Saturday morning to just sit and drink coffee. I have my coffee and yes, it is “comforting” to spend time with a “friend”, not being creepy but you know what I mean. Anyway, now that I’ve been weird, good day! 😅
This comment spiral is something I relate to SO hard 😆😅
@@rebeccapatterson8049 omg same same! 😹
Jessica, you’re the first RUclipsr I watched and now I watch a few others but I always wait until I have time to sit down and watch yours completely uninterrupted!! I enjoy all of your content. I’m 62 so I’m old enough to be your mother but I listen to you and I’m like yep, I’ve done that!! You’re just a joy to watch! And you have taught me so much about makeup and the different brands and techniques and how to apply it the correct way. I also love your family Disney vlogs, they are so fun to watch!! You and Tyler have a beautiful family and I get to watch you all and see Disney all at the same time. Thank you Jessica for all your great videos. I appreciate being able to watch someone who is down to earth !!!
Thank you for all of the comfort you brought me tonight! I am a 4th grade teacher who had the hardest day I have ever in 8 years teaching! Catching up on your videos has been just what the doc ordered! You rock, Jessica!
So many things I want to comment about, I wish I had made a list because I know I will forget something! I'm thrilled you're going to continue with vlogmas! I know it can get stressful for both you and Ty, but you always manage to come through. You are definitely a comfort RUclipsr to me as well, so whoever made that comment, hit the nail on the head. I would love to see you two doing a podcast! And I'd like a video option on RUclips if you can muster it! Thank you for all you do, my dude. Sending you and the family all my love, and praying the months get easier ❤️
That nod when you drink your coffee when the video starts…THAT. I feel that nod so heavily when the coffee just hiiiits. Lol 💖
I am 40 and currently back in college for psychology. After being a stay at home mom for the past 14 years I finally decided it was time to do something for myself. I have been loving it so much!!
I've had the weekend from hell at work, hour wise and have spread this video out over time to 'soothe' me during my 'break' times. So yes, You are definitely the lil sister, comfort youtuber for me. I have 3 of ya'll I MUST watch every single upload, you, Taylor and Mallory Brooke. Of course I watch others like Kristi etc but you 3 are my 'support, comfort and imaginary friends/framily. I don't have a lot of that since the move from TN to TX. So especially now even 6 years later I NEED this. I've watched all 3 since WELL before the move and you guys have all gotten me through some truly rough times in my life.
That bronzer really is nice! You are one of my comfort RUclipsrs for sure. Maybe relaxing is a better word? Your “big sister” energy is very dependable 💕
Speaking of career change, I found your channel back in 2017, during my first university degree when I was pursuing 5-12 education. I ended up trying out retail for 2 years. Now I am in my senior year of my second bachelors degree in Anthropology and so excited for my future career. (and you are still my go to for content.) Thank you for what you do
I’m an august baby and was literally the youngest in my class. But, I always in pre/k get along with the kids in my grade, not the ones a grade below me. I say if she’s ready, go for it!
Also my granddaughter missed the birthday by a couple days, at first I was bummed she had to wait, but now I'm glad, she was so ready to go. Keeping them home is always a good idea, especially if you have a healthy homelife
I just love your chats ❤ thank you for sharing all that you do! Feels like we’re friends😊
You popped up on my RUclips one time. I watched you and have continued bc you are a comfort, and do normal makeup! I like a structured day as well, so I’ve created my own structure as a stay at home mom.
I watch you while I’m at work and you keep me sane. Thank you :)
Sending you big hugs! It's so valuable to acknowledge that hard seasons in life hit us all, and we don't have to pretend everything is sunny skies all the time. From what you have shared, I've wondered if there is a divorce in the family. As someone whose parents divorced the week my second child was born, it's a level of stress and pain I am still recovering from. It's so hard to figure out how much you are able to forgive as the family picks up the pieces and moves forward. I could be totally off base here, but just wanted to share that I've been there and know just how difficult it is. You and Tyler are just the sweetest and have brought me so much comfort, especially during the loneliness and isolation of the pandemic. And whatever you do in life, you will be amazing at it because that is just who you are!
I really do appreciate your words on not worrying about milestones. From one mama to another, sending you appreciation and love. Thank you Jessica. ❤️
You’re definitely my comfort you tuber too, a very soothing presence!
The idea of you as a Therapist makes me so happy. You would be a great one & it's kind of what you do now as a comfort YT.
You are definitely my "comfort youtuber"! You and Tyler are both so real; so bright and your videos are (to me, and others) so relatable. Life has it's challenges and I subscribe to quite a few others, but look forward (please don't freak out, I just have a boring drab life - I work in pharmaceuticals - eek!) to seeing you chat about whatever is on your mind and frankly, i enjoy your makeup choices , as well as opinions on books, TV and travel. So many others just seem to be too into themselves, which makes me tend to no longer view them. Stay as you are! Best always and don't change a thing! Cheers...x
You’re definitely my comfort RUclipsr 🥰
Great mantra about kids’ milestones. Waaaay too often people get hung up about them. It’s so sad to see so many needlessly stressing. Babies/kids are people too!!-and every person is sooo different! Some will crawl at 5mo some at a year. Some will get married at 18, some not till 30 etc 🤷🏼♀️
As always I love your coffee chats😀 I'd recommend waiting the extra year- just from our own experience!
Sending positive vibes to you and your family! 💕✨️
I love your channel! You're the RUclipsr who made me spend the more money on makeup 😅 but I have to thank you for all the products I really enjoy and made me discover! 😍
Coming from a mom of three adults, my firstborn was older in his class and much further ahead than his classmates. My last child was literally the youngest in her class. From the moment of her birth, so was a go-getter. She just wanted, as was able to, do things beyond her age. She thrived in school and would've been completely bored had I held her back. The best advice, YOU are her parents, YOU know Gigi, no one knows better than you what she is capable of!! She'll be fine either way!! Just like my kiddos were!! Blessings to you as you navigate your familys' sadness. That's always a difficult time. I love your channel and content!!!! ✌🏼💚🙏🏼
I love watching podcasts on YT. I would definitely watch or listen to yours!!
My daughter is 3y but in prek right now but even as a 1yr old/toddler I’ve noticed she is better being one of the youngest in her class. I work at her daycare/preschool so I’ve gotten to see her being the oldest/leader in the class and also the youngest/follower. She just absorbs so much more being with older kids, when she’s the oldest in the class most of the skills they’re learning and trying to work on or skills that they aren’t ready for she’s already been working on so she’ll get bored (like correctly holding a pencil or crayon, she’s been doing since she was 1; also scissors, she’s already able to cut in a straight line on dotted lines but some kids older than her can’t hold scissors the right way)
You are definitely one of my top comfort youtubers. You radiate such warmth, watching your videos feels like a hug ❤
Loved your chat about careers, I'm 36 and have been a nurse for almost 14 years, 17 including my training, and whilst I love it I've always thought about branching off into teaching, or therapy, something that also helps people but isn't direct nursing. I recently because a workplace union rep (I'm based in Scotland) and maybe one day I'll go into that in more depth as I'm really really enjoying it!
Jessica Braun. You are an angel on this Earth. Truly. Thank you for being here.
I was a really picky eater as a child but as an adult I've never been and loved cooking, vegetables and most foods. Re kindergarten I don't have kids but I started early, plus being a shy child I did struggle and would have loved an extra year as a full on kid! Lots of love to both your families ❤
I’m late watching this video 😬 but I wanted to share our experience with holding our June bday daughter back. She was slated to go to first grade this year and all summer we were on the fence about giving her another year of Kinder (her first year was at a private church program, this year was at public school). When I tell you that it’s only have way thru the year and we are so glad we gave her another year. Her confidence is SOARING. She leads and helps her peers and is actually enjoying school rather than feeling that stress to keep up. ❤
I've traveled quite a few places internationally over the years and I agree, there has always been something special about London for me. I just have good feelings there.
You are such a breath of fresh air. You have the most amazing personality. I’m in a WAY different phase of life than you (nearly 48) but no matter what you are talking about you are so relatable. 😊
I look forward to your vlogmas every year , can’t wait !!!🤍
I wore platform boots with my flare jeans. I'm so excited the platform boots are back too, but I haven't wore heels in years. I really want to try a pair on though.
You and your vlogs are definitely what I watch for comfort. The vlogs you and Tyler posted during the pandemic helped me get through it.
Really love the coffee chat videos, always so relaxing to watch ❤✨
You are definitely one of my comfort RUclipsrs! Both your channel and Tyler‘s channel.
I remember always wearing either wedges or chunky sneakers with my flared jeans in high school.
We did a combo of baby bird weeding and purées with both of our children, and I feel like it worked out really well for our family. our kids (Who are just about to turn five, and 2 1/2) are picky about some foods, but they eat pretty well, including vegetables.
You are definitely one of my comfort RUclipsrs! I get excited when I get a notification from you! 😊
I was 6 when I went to kindergarten as a late summer baby and it was the best thing. Socially and emotionally kids are more ready at 6 to learn in a traditional classroom setting. The extra year of preschool is great 😊
You are SO my comfort youtuber!! You're my Saturday morning, drinking coffee comfort youtuber for CERTAIN! There's not a Saturday that goes by that I don't watch a video of yours - even if I've watched it BEFORE!
Have been going through a bumpy couple of years in my life and u have been my comfort youtuber for very very long… Thank u so much for all that u do n the way u make me feel when i need it!!!❤❤❤
You are 100% a comfort channel for me! Relaxing in the bath or winding down at night. So excited to have vlogmas to watch while I’m postpartum this time!
For sure my comfort RUclipsr!!! Especially your vlogs 🥰 love you Jess!
Lots of great moms chiming in, so I'll just say trust your own judgment. My daughter is 29 now and getting ready to start her own family, so kindergarten decisions seem like a literal lifetime ago. I enjoy these casual chatty videos
Yes yes yes to video podcast!!!!! I will listen and/or watch!
