    Jen, I love that you’re authentic with what you shop for and eat. I think what you show is more the norm than how others portray their lives on social media. As for Bobby Parrish, more power to him for having both the money and the palate to sustain that lifestyle! Haha! I’ve bought some of his recommendations and even have his app on my phone but there have been quite a bunch of misses for me when it comes to flavors.

    Re Kids clothing: I don't (didn't?) have kids but I gained custody of my 15 y/o niece this year. TALK ABOUT CULTURE SHOCK. We were doing back to school shopping and she literally said to me "We can't buy anything from walmart because the other kids don't think it's cool" and I'm just like.... They don't write WALMART all across the front of it. So the only way the other kids know your clothes are from walmart is if you tell them, or they shop there too. boom.

    Much love to you, Jen. I fed both my kids plenty of hot pockets and pizza rolls throughout their childhood (balanced with healthier home cooked items as well) and they are both successful and healthy adults now. My daughter (36) is a Senior Associate Administrator for a Global Consulting Firm and my son (30) is a County Sheriff Deputy. Both are happily married and I will be a grammy next March. Woohoo!! I was divorced when they were 6 and 12, so I did what I could do. I think society expects WAY too much of us moms. You're doing awesome, keep up the good work, your kids are great! Love your videos!!! :)

    I’ve been subbed for years and love when you casually address the foolishness that goes on here on Y/T. I remember when I started cooking and showing that you could cook from scratch pretty easily and just being creative in the kitchen, it seemed like there was an uproar about affordability and time. The reality is folks just didn’t know how to cook and were offended. Now that everyone has figured out how to “cook” from Y/T, I find it funny that the same folks who were snarling at the idea are now promoting some of those same things b/c they gained popularity sharing other people’s recipes (“shred your own cheese, buy meat from here b/c it’s quality, etc.) I for one love cooking from scratch, but the reality is, I need convenience just as much as the next person. I happily keep the old school lunch chicken patties (early nineties, Ifykyk), amongst many other convenience foods and I love the nostalgic feeling I get every time I eat one. But yes, the foolery is certainly at an all time high 🙄🤣🤣.

But in the real world for most of us, we need the convenience, mixed in with the healthy stuff. Even the families that need to rely on eating out a lot. That's ok too. Just balance!
    As for the kids clothes, My 13 year old "needs" (lol) to wear things that are completely branded on it. I'm a little bit older than you, but yes I grew up with things that had a logo put you in a different status. My daughters are going through the same exact thing now. The bigger and better the logo, the more important they feel. It kind of sucks and I hate that society and social media have done that, but it's exactly the same as when I was a kid.

You are awesome, do not let anyone tell you differently. I always enjoy you and your content, please do not feel bad or alone. I also think that Lara Bars are like the best thing on the planet, they are so nice to throw in your purse and go. You are very cool, don't change.
