Happy Friday, friends! I hope your week has been good...mine has been and some things were worth noting. I learned that I have a new reader here yesterday...my ex and his girlfriend read my blog everyday! Let's all say hi to them both! 🤣 Not only does she read here, she likes to insult me and my life as well. How's that for some fun reading on a Friday?
I digress.
These were a couple of my favorite things that I saw on socials this week, especially that first one. That first one was something I recently put into practice! And then yesterday I went and let my mouth (words in a text) fly and whatever I thought, I said. 🙄 I'm rolling my eyes at myself. I try to rise above, and then BAM.
This moment above was definitely a favorite! He's such a great guy and bonus points for the fact that he's seriously attractive and treats me so well.
Here are the most recent sandals that I bought last week! I still love them and think they're great to wear when I wear my swimsuit/coverup.
Last but not least, is that I got to see my Drew for lunch yesterday! Seeing and spending time with my guys will always be my favorite thing in all of the world!
What was a favorite of yours from this week? I'd love to hear from you! Thanks for reading my blog today, (mostly) friends. (Not everyone who reads here is my friend...don't forget what I said at the top.) Love to most of you! xoxo
Jenn ❤️

That Alfredo looks delicious! I really like your new earrings and sandals too.
ReplyDeleteIt was SO good! I love seeing my sons cook. Thank you!
DeleteOh my God- hope you told them to get a life. You radiate JOY and him leaving was the best thing for you and your life- you just didn't know it at the time but I am sure they are seeing that you are thriving and have some much kindness and any people who love you. I love following along- you live the way we all should! XO
ReplyDeleteRight?! Can you believe the audacity? I wholeheartedly agree with him leaving was the very best thing for me and my life. I'm enjoying every moment of this new life, especially since my sons are all grown and don't require much of me these days. Thanks for that, my friend, and for always being my biggest cheerleader!
DeleteI just think that is really weird that they read your blog. What are they looking for? Hasn't the damage already been done? Move on! Get a life! Write your own home-wrecker blog. How about that?
ReplyDeleteI love your new Reef sandals and it seems like you had lots to enjoy this week despite that realization.
I had a stupid little estate setback this week that I let cloud my day and I am still mad at myself. Why do I do that?
I guess we are all just works in progress.
Happy weekend to you!
Right? It's extremely unhealthy. Move on and get a life is right! That made me laugh...maybe she should consider starting one of her own! It was a great week in spite of all that. I'm sorry that you had a setback this week s well! I do the same thing, and I let things get to me that I should let go of. Women are hard on ourselves! I agree about all of us being works in progress...I said that yesterday to someone. Thanks for that, friend! I hope yours is great.
DeleteToo funny Jenn. Sounds like your life is turning out how you hope. Surrounded by wonderful people.
ReplyDeleteLife is good! I am fortunate to be surrounded by such amazing people! Thanks for saying that!
DeleteLife looks good for you lately!
ReplyDeleteThose gold sandals are so cute - checking them out
Thank you! It feels good. I hope you find some that you like!
Delete👋
ReplyDelete?? I don't know what this is.
DeleteIt's an internet wave.
DeleteIts someone saying hi! anonymously.... mmmm wonder if it could be you new reader friends?? I love the light in your face and eyes its radiating!! We have alot in common on the life front, however I truly believe, his leaving was the best that happened to me as well. Not at the time, but now 100%. So happy for you!
DeleteThank you! I wholeheartedly agree. I'm sorry to learn that we have a lot in common, in terms of life circumstances.
DeleteImagine a homewrecker acting like the victim by insulting you! I am definitely not one to delete my paragraph ;) It's actuallly very sad for them - how happy can they really be if they're spending their time thinking about you?
ReplyDeleteand also you are most definitely the bigger person! If you weren't you'd post their socials so we could politely let them know what we think.
DeleteRight? I think that's funny that you said that. I thought the same thing! You made me laugh today, friend. Thank you for your kind words!
DeleteI haven't been following your blog very long but today I am appalled at the hypocrisy. You stated that she insulted you but as I read your blog and the comments you and your followers insult them and make disappointing comments that surprises me because I feel that professed Christians should hold themselves to a higher standard. Also one of the comments states that they want you to post their social media to "politely let them know what we think" and the way that it stated does not appear that way. I personally will not lower myself to the actions I am reading today.
ReplyDeletePreach!
DeleteWhut ???
DeleteIt means your comment is spot on.
DeleteTo the first anonymous comment here that said I'm being hypocritical here, or that these comments are...I haven't said one bad word about anyone here. All I said was "let's all say hi to the one who likes to insult me"...I'm just calling her out and acknowledging that she's here reading and probably commenting anonymously sometimes, something I've suspected for months. I could have said a lot worse at any given moment, but never did I stoop to that level. I even received an online death threat and was told by my police officer friend to file a police report! Even then- you never saw that here. I'm not condoning all the hate talk that's going on here, but I'm not responsible for the words that people say and use. I actually appreciate that some of these people stand up for me!
DeleteYour blog is always a sunshine spot for me. I just wanted to share that your situation feels very relatable. I've been where you are and it's hard. Glad to see you are focusing on great time with the people who give back as much joy as you share with them. Brunch Sundays are becoming a favorite for me and my son. I wish I had the foresight to start some little, new traditions like that at the beginning of the muck. It gets better. I hope you have a great week!
ReplyDeleteThank you for saying that! I'm sorry that you've been in the same situation that I'm in; divorce is ugly and hard, and I wouldn't wish it on anyone. I'm not saying that I'm not thankful to be where I am today, but it was a process, and one I've grown from. I love that you and your son enjoy brunch on Sundays together! I think that's wonderful that you have something each week to look forward to. I need more one on one time with my sons! It's rare, but I'll take it any chance I get. Lunch with Drew Thursday was wonderful; I'll have plans with Graham on Thursday night of this week, and I do get to see and talk to my Jonah a lot since he lives with me still. And Noah and I enjoyed our time together when I saw him a few weeks ago! These are all such great things!
DeleteI love reading your blog! Thanks for the phone case recommendation; I need a neon one so I can find my phone!
ReplyDeleteThank you for that! I've ordered three of them now, because they're so inexpensive. I hope you like it as much as I have! I love it when there are a lot of color options. I have it in pale pink and neon pink as well!
DeleteLove your blog! I am so proud of you for turning such a difficult time in your life into such a positive one and helping others who are going through tough experiences! How ridiculous that they both read here, but not really surprised to hear that, especially after the rants your ex posted on here several months ago.
ReplyDeleteIt sounds like one of them is still posting today "I haven't been following your blog very long but today I am appalled at the hypocrisy". LOL that either of them would talk about hypocrisy! Keep living your BEST, NEW life!
I wrote that comment and I honestly have no clue who she is other than reading the blog. I found this blog when I was searching for something on Facebook. I love how you make the assumption that because I don't share your viewpoint that I must be her ex or his gf. Even your comment proves my point that it is ok for you to throw comments and names and insults but not for others, not just the ex, just because they did wrong. Several of you have said that you also do wrong but supposedly grow every day. So you are telling me we are allowed to do wrong as long as we ask forgiveness each time? You know that we as Christians are to strive to not make mistakes instead of just saying we ask for forgiveness. So yes I consider that hypocritical from my view.
DeleteAnonymous #1... Thank you! I have my suspicions about who the anonymous people are, but they're not just on my blog. My friends who blog also receive really rude comments a lot, and I don't think too much about it, since it's easy to be rude behind a screen. I appreciate your kind words and encouragement!
DeleteThat house really is beautiful!
ReplyDeleteGood job your sons for cooking, the shrimp alfredo looks good!
Those sandals are so cute and how lovely to see Drew yesterday!
Isn't it pretty? I don't know why this brings me such joy, looking at homes. It's fun to dream! Thanks for all of this, friend. I hope you've had a wonderful week!
DeleteI also love those sandals! And that's amazing that your boys make such a yummy meal! They must have had a good Mama that taught them well :)
ReplyDeleteSorry you're having blog drama. I'm a newbie followers, but from what I've read it sounds like you've always been more than respectful in the very few comments made about your past, so don't be down on yourself. You've navigated some stormy waters and I think you've done it with a lot of grace! And it looks like you've came out really happy on the other end! Keep on sharing, many of us love following your lovely blog!
Thank you! It does make me proud to know that they can cook when they need to cook! I haven't always been gracious in person about all of this, but I've tried. It's not the easiest thing in all of the world! 🤣 I am happy and am enjoying life as I live it out. I appreciate your kind words, friend!
DeleteHey not sure why I am being attacked because I don't read the blog. I didn't when we were married and I don't now. Yes she does occasionally. If you want to recall I put my name when I comment so quit accusing me of anything. I find it hilarious that there are lots of anonymous from both sides but because one, whoever it is doesn't agree with you that it must be us. I was made aware of this by someone I am friends with that follows her blog. Now that you have been introduced know she that knows all the story unlike again what you think. Also yes I know exactly who is referring to me as a fucktard as you put it. It's also funny how you are posting as anonymous just lije the others but I get blamed. I didn't do any attacking and yes find it hilarious now that I am reading these that whoever is the anonymous that is calling y'all out is right. Sorry not sorry but get over yourselves. I keep to myself but yet I find out that apparently I am mentioned outright and discreetly with hints but I'm the one that can't let go. I don't post on here because I am happy and don't care. I hope the best for her in the future.
ReplyDeleteYou must really be insecure in your relationship with the new gf. Of course since both of you cheated on your spouse, I can understand the insecurity. You probably both are worried about who the other one is sleeping with behind your back. The fact that you keep cyber-stalking your ex even shows your jealousy for her new life. She is not a cheater like you two and will end up much happier with her life
DeleteThe fact that he still shows up here is exactly why I quit leaving comments. It feels like stalking and it's creepy. The one who leaves doesn't get to be curious about what the other one is doing. They forfeited all rights to know what the one left behind is up to. And the "other woman"....hasn't she taken enough? She has no right to invade this space. She just wants to see her name in print.
ReplyDeleteIt's a forum open to the public, anyone can leave a comment.
DeleteIt's a personal blog that talks about her personal life. That's not an open forum. But stalking is a crime. Adultery is a sin. Being creepy is just creepy.
DeleteIt’s literally on the internet for the world to see.if you don’t want everyone knowing your business, don’t post it for everyone to see.
DeleteThank you, Debbie! Yes, they do read here all the time, he has told me this before, and it's extremely unhealthy. I'm not asking them not to read, but I am asking if they do read that they not insult me. Thank you for standing up for me!
DeleteSo much to say... not where sure to start, except to say that I am glad you're in such a good place but I'm sorry you and your sons had to go through a lot of pain. The breaking of a marriage vow is a sin. The ripple effects of that sin/decision are momentous. I'm glad you're with someone who treats you well and I hope that continues. Have a great weekend!
ReplyDeleteThere's so much to say! Thank you for that, friend. I'm thankful that they're all doing really well now. I'm glad to be on this side of it all rather than last year! You are one hundred percent right!
DeleteJust so y'all know I sent her a text asking her to try and turn off anonymous posting because I literally haven't attacked her or anyone on here. Whoever is posting that stuff isn't me or anyone I know.

ReplyDeleteThis will be my one and ONLY comment.
ReplyDeleteFirst of all, I certainly do not read this blog every day and that has never been said 😂. I work full time and I have 5 minor kids. We are a very busy family.
Let me give you a little back story. It seems like everyone here knows everything about me and yet I’ve never met any of you. Man, that’s not creepy at all! I have been with my ex since I was 17, so 22 years. He treated me like dog shit pretty much the entire marriage. Nothing like how someone else was treated. I was never taken care of or shown any kind of love. The fact that we even have 5 kids is a miracle, tbh. In 2021, I had suspicions that he was cheating on me but didn’t have hard proof. In 2022, 2 months after my mom died, I found him at someone’s house. He moved out for the most part after that. Regardless, I spent the next 2 months trying to save that horrible marriage because I believe in trying to make your marriage work. 2 months later I filed for divorce. He is still with her and they had twins in February. My divorce is still pending because his attorney dropped his dumbass and I’m trying to navigate all of that. I never once thought about cheating on him regardless of how unhappy I was. How horrible he made me feel. The abuse I endured. Never crossed my mind to cheat. So now that Todd and I are together, yes technically, if you want to call it cheating on my spouse… whatever. He has long since moved on and I shouldn’t have to be alone just because the divorce is still pending.so if we’re calling it cheating regardless of the circumstances, then more than 2 of us did that. Let’s make sure we’re not casting stones, people.
I didn’t “take” Todd. I didn’t meet Todd until shortly before he asked for the divorce and at that point I was trying to give him advice from a woman’s perspective on things he could do to help his marriage. It didn’t work out and now here we all are. Divorce is hard and I prayed for his family through all of that. Regardless of what anyone thinks, I’m not a bad person. I have wanted Jennifer and I to meet because I know there will be things with the boys at some point and we will all be there together. That was met with a no.
There is zero insecurity with our relationship. If we’re not at work, we are together. We learned a lot from our previous relationships and we are constantly working to make sure we are taking care of each other. We are very happy and we’re glad Jennifer has someone right now that makes her happy.
Have I said rude things about the blog to Todd? Yes, and rude things were also said about me. What I said was never said to her or in a comment here. Let’s not play victim. I have stayed out of everything and I would expect the same. I figure I will get some unchristian-like comments but just remember, you do not know me. I feel like everyone should take a step back and take a breath and realize we’re all humans with real feelings and stop coming at each other. Standing up for a friend is fine, I get it. But tearing someone down that you don’t even know and assuming things about them that they haven’t done? Let’s all be better than that.
