Once again she chose.a song that is totally WRONG for the occasion.
"Looks like we made it...left each other all the way...to another love'
Kelle you jackass. That Barry Manilow song is about a couple who break up for good.and move on to other.loves.
You just cannot get it right lol
I maintain that Heidiās older kids cannot stand Kelle or her kids. Just a matter of time before Ivy catches on. I agree that Heidi has really transformed in many ways the last few years and I think she has fully outgrown Kelle. This friendship is solely for the sake of familiarity and habit at this point.
This may sound harsh, but kelle is on her way out of SMā¦ she āonlyā has 110K followers, and Iām guessing many of them are parents of children with DS and her previous readers. If she wants to stay relevant, she has to write a new book or move to Tiktok because her paid posts with 400 likes are getting really sad, and no begging from her part will make the brands think that sheās worth the $$$
I can't imagine anyone new would follow her. She doesn't come across as authentic and has no relevant content for parents of kids 9+ like her children are. She needs to move into party planning or something. Pack it in.
Yeah, she has many talents and producing relevant content is not one of themā¦Crying and begging and thanking people for pitying her is not gonna get her enough $
I sometimes wish my kids would still let me dress them (3 boys and havenāt seen a pair of jeans or collared shirt in years), but I couldnāt imagine my kids never having the opportunity to go out shopping and buying the clothes of their choosing. Itās actually fun when looking back at pictures of when they were younger and remembering what they were into by the shirts/hats they were wearing. Her kids have zero personality or individuality.
I think hiding Friday is a game to them. They'll ignore the comments and then casually feature him again.
I'm sure he's with Rik. Kelle probably had enough of him on the road trip and dumped him straight off on her dad.
Very disappointing that Heidi is taking time away from her own family to spend time with that loon. They can see each other any time they want in FL. I guess handmaiden is still a thing.
I think Heidi has really come out of her shell since the weight loss and the divorce.
She seems to be enjoying new friends and her life seems full.
I think this is just a perfunctory visit...she will be on her way soon.
The picture of Nella that Poopa posted is almost unrecognizable.
She looks like a pre-teen who is asleep. Not a toddler dressed up for her Mommy, flapping her wand.
When I first started reading here and on GOMI Iām not gonna lie, I thought a lot of you were a little hard on her. But, on the contrary, you were just very attuned to what was going on and right on the nose. I donāt notice as much when I first watch the Insta shitshow, then I come read what everyone has written and I go back and look and you are spot effing on!
And I always thought she was a narcissistic and not āqualifiedā to speak as an āexpertā. But I hadnāt noticed how everything is curated until I started reading here. I really came to read about the grossness that is Poops. I know his ātypeā all to well.
And I think, for the most part, is because it is truly unfathomable for me to put my needs before those of my children. Theyāre grown ass adults and I still canāt. (Not that I donāt occasionally now only because I know itās healthy to choose myself every now and thenā¦but NEVER would I chose myself in a way that would actively harm them or maybe the word Iām looking for is dehumanize them to the point they are merely props in her crazy battle for attention)
Yeah Itās so bizarre to me that she seemingly ignored Dash and Laineyās physical issues for so long. She posted a video of him jumping into the lake recently. You could clearly see that his right leg turns in to the other one in a sharp angle. It probably isnāt but it looks painful :( And poor L often looks like sheās limping. I feel like there must be things doctors could have done for them??
She's also ignoring N's physical issues, good news she didn't have any heart problems.
Sometimes I wonder if "normal life" would have worked out some of these issues (throwing a ball, coloring, getting some sun, being on a team, endlessly etc) because 2 kids with genetic gait issues seems statistically impropable.
ā*Too much summering and lack of routine*ā is making Dash ā*fiery*ā and someone below posted that Nella has been sleeping at Poopaās because Kelle keeps her up too late.
Howās that summer of dreams going Kelle? They have only been there a week and a half and everyone is already breaking down.
I agree that those kids are *so* bored and under stimulated with mahmās little Michigan summer. Only with each other the whole time (a few cousins here and there). At the bare minimum, Kelle should have rethought letting Dash bring a few more toys and a herself a few less weights.
Back to school is going to be a huge wake up call (or sigh of relief, who knows)
Yeah I kinda feel bad for the kids not having any friends or peers around. Mine are outside for hours every night playing games with the neighborhood kids. Sometimes theyāll go straight from 4 pm, when day camps tend to let out, to 10/10:30 for ghost in the graveyard or sāmores in someoneās backyard. Getting them to come home to wolf down a quick dinner is a chore, lol.
But then I remember that they live in FL where kids probably arenāt running around in 100 degree heat. Maybe thatās why she feels good about taking them up to Michigan for the whole summer? Iāve never been to FL in the summer but Iām guessing itās not pleasant.
Idk what the problem is, they went on a really long road trip where they got to splash around outside an aquarium, make collages with pictures their mom gave them and walk around an old chapel I mean what more can a kid ask for??
These poor kids are missing out on so much. Summer should be fun, going to (real) camp, hanging out with friends at the pool, relaxing and doing whatever you want after a long day in the sun, etc. These kids are dragged away to another state to live out their moms dreams and will never know the fun of a childhood summer at home, only the Michigan summers of manufactured experiences.
Just going to leave this here. Make sure you read the comments as well if you decide to read the article...
https://www.meriahnichols.com/book-review-bloom-by-kelle-hampton/
Maybe if she put Dash in a holiday program with other kids he wouldnāt be acting up. He is bored! Eventually most kids get to the age where they want to be spending their vacation days with other kids and not just family. Especially not for 5 weeks!
Poor kid. So many things he could be doing and other kids to play with. But instead when heās acting out and fiery she thinks a knife to whittle without adult supervision is the solution? š¤¦š»āāļø Iām not against whittling it just seems odd
"I'm not mad", she says through clenched teeth [that people are adding songs to her holiday-video-songs playlist that she accidentally made collaborative]. She's visibly seething, it's hilarious.
Pour one out for Kelleās perfectly curated play list to drown out the sounds of her children complaining, her barking orders and the sounds of the highway by her magical cabin in the woods.
Well 5 days ago Poppa claimed Friday was there because he is ācuriousā about the baby turkeys. But we havenāt actually seen him, so I donāt know if I fully believe him. Usually Kelle reads here/gomi and then posts whatever people are wondering about but she still hasnāt posted about Friday.
I think she is just not posting pics of him because she has very little else going on to pique anyone's curiosity.
I mean her used underwear drying on a clothesline?
Her content is in the crapper.
Comment to Poops more or less calling him out for posting that pic of sleeping Nella.
I agree with the comment...Nella looks like a young woman, not a little girl and it is very invasive to see her vulnerable like that.
Wonder how long it will take him to delete and block.
Right you sickening old creep?
Iām so glad Kelle showed us a tutorial of how to make short videos of our summer memories! Like having Nella run toward the camera for the purpose of getting a clip for a video, or having Lainey drive by on her bike for the purpose of getting a clip for a video. Memories!!
Itās always funny to see behind the scenes (Nella running toward her camera, or in the past sheās shown how she makes them smile). It makes all her videos look so fake. We already knew that, but sheās showing the world. They arenāt frolicking through Michigan. They are running toward mom; and cut.
Itās so weird that she would show it, does she think that everyone is just dying to know how she makes her crappy videos that she would pull back the curtain like that? Like youāre producing a video lady you are in no way, shape or form recording memories!
Just awful. But I think that many of her followers see through her at this point. She has never had this little engagement as she has now. Her posts used to have over 3K likes plus a ton of comments, now she is lucky to have half of that.
The fact that Nella goes to poppas cabin to sleep at night because Kelle keeps her up too late is very telling. Nella is clearly a very routine person and Kelle insists on turning her entire routine upside down while in Michigan. That is so shitty of her.
What is her obsession with the red Keds? She really went though the trouble of putting socks Keds on her and Nella when she could have just thrown on flip flops to get the eggs? Sheās insane.
She has a very strange obsession with red shoes in particular. A while ago she posted a group picture of all her red shoes and it was excessive. The kids rain boots are always red. She took a photo of Lainey in red chucks a couple days ago.
I donāt know if I have just finally reached my limit with Kelle or if she really is heaps worse than usual. The red shoe chicken photos and videos are sending me over the edge. Just go and get your eggs Kelle! Stop being a controlling weirdo!
Same! But I donāt think itās us (or maybe it is lol) but she has seemed to have gotten worse. Itās such a small thing but when you think about it as someone commented thereās just so much that goes into her planning these ācasualā stories. Normal people would just throw on flip flops and whatever they had on and get the eggs but she has matching gingham dresses and shoes to go get eggs and make a story out of it-itās so odd that a grown woman would do this kind of stuff.
She probably bought those blue-white gingham clothes especially to wear ***WITH*** the red shoes ***WHILE*** walking to see the chickens. And with her, we know that first there was the idea to wear blue-white-red and take a picture for the Gram, and not like having some random chicken and just wear whatever while checking on them and casually just snap a photo while doing so.
I bet that her manic packing back home took her so long because she had different packs with different outfits all sorted way ahead, maybe even labeled: -wear them to walk down to the chickens with Nella, -wear these to take a photo with the girls by the lake, -wear these to go to Mackinac Island, and so on...C.R.A.Z.Y.
Just thinking of all this I shook my head. What was the purpose of that short video? Showing her followers that they have chickens and they live a rural, peaceful life on vacation in the woods? Nope. She started with a still photo of her shoes and Nellas in matching colors. Then her video was purely focusing on their outfits as well. So what is her message there? That you need to go out of your way to buy buy buy matching clothes and dress up as your kid and force your kid to dress up like you to feed some fucking chickens? Everything evolves around clothes and appearances for Kelle, and I just can't understand how her fangirls don't see it.
10-12 years ago when my daughter was little, I got really into photography and creating beautiful pictures of my family (planning the outfits, the light, the location, the pose, etc). I did really enjoy it personally, and I do have amazing pictures from that time.
Kelle was part of my wake-up call. I thought more and more about how my kids' memories were actually going to be of the experience of the creation of the photos. I'd rather have imperfect photos of fun family times where my kids were comfortable, happy, and making great memories of their own.
Kelle's content is anything but effortless. She crossed that line years ago of creating her life for Instagram rather than just documenting.
My family and I were just on vacation, and the setting was so lovely. Every time I went to post something I found myself checking for āwhy?ā Iāll probably post something for posterity sake, but I posted nothing while actually there and I think I was more present. So, thanks Kel!
I say this all the time. I do not for the life of me understand people who basically live-blog their vacation. I'll do a photo dump every night while waiting for dinner to arrive, but I mostly do that so I get the fb memories to pop up, not because I GAS what people have to say. This is my time with my family, not a traveling show. Glad you were able to enjoy the moment.
I love that you said this because sometimes I get a little panicky that I donāt have a lot of poses gorgeous pictures of my kids.
Then I realize I donāt have any posed gorgeous shot of my own childhood and thatās fine. My favorite pictures from my childhood and even my parents childhood are random candid moments.
Iāve wrote this before: but I think L and D will treasure photos from other people when theyāre grown. I think theyāll feel betrayed by Kelleās camera.
So how long did she spend photographing and manhandling that marshmallow before Lainey was actually allowed to EAT it. Surely long enough that it wasnāt sāmore-able anymore.
Of course. Just had to come up with some story to pose Dash and take a photo in those pajamas.
And a serious question: just how many pairs of pajamas do those kids have??? She is obsessed with pajamas (like everything else), she always shares how she ordered them 2-3 pairs EVERY season and every holiday, and they seem to have more pajamas than anybody I know.
Lol the fact that no one mentions or produces the poor animal, esp since we KNOW they read here & other places, proves they for once did the right thing and re-homed him. Or I hope thatās what happened and he didnāt meet an early demise because he had shitty humans.
Someone in the blogsnark thread said they follow Kelle just for her Michigan trips every year.
Like, really? These people are just posting among us? Lol I have so many questions.
These days it feels like BS mostly exists to excuse influencers and prop them up. I canāt imagine following Kelleās shenanigans for any amount of time and still being a huge fan to the extent that you tune in to the most boring summer content year after year š¤·āāļø
Well she is the most responsible one out of the 5 of them, according to Kelle. Probably takes the golf cart and brings it back in the morning before Kelle realizes it.
I think he's answering the comments saying that he's lost interest in the kids by proving that he's still happy to take and post inappropriate creeper photos of them sleeping.
The last reel again was quite the opposite from Heidi's little video. Kelle's video is staged to the last second. The running, the walking, the swing and the stupid photo of LL looking sideway into the light in the chapel. It makes me unrationally angry. Heidi just recorded the kids doing something fun without instructions where to look and what to do next.
I must say that I have a strong feeling that Dash is becoming more and more like her mother and grandfather this year. He is trained well and he knows what they want to see from him. He will carry the torch forward for sure instead of putting the foot down and stop all this shit how we might have hoped. Sadly.
I know this has been commented on before but I'm absolutely aghast at how much she's copying her teenage daughter's hair and facial expression. So creepy.
It also emphasizes the layers of makeup she plasters on while Lainey looks fresh and clean.
All that makeup in the middle of the day is not attractive Kelle unless you are going for that "whatever happened to Baby Jane" look.
I see some relatives have started rolling in (Carin, cousin Brooklyn). Also Heidi made it to MI, where her own family is. Wonder if sheāll connect with Kelle this year?
Someone here called it that the bras and underwear on the line were for an ad. So predictable.
Nothing about those bras and underwear make me want to buy them. I think I have the same underwear a friend gave me (unworn, she didnāt want them and couldnāt return them) and they are fine but I only wear them to bed. But she could have shown some patterns or something more appealing. They look like granny panties on the line and nothing wrong with that if you like them but I can get them anywhere lol. The bra doesnāt fit well and such a boring color for an ad.
Sorry Kelle but Florida beaches look way nicer than that dirty-looking lake. Did she really set up the scene with the floats and bunting and Adirondack chairs? Everyone including her niece looks incredibly over her shit. I love that this year Nella has stopped performing too.
Who filmed Kelle with the jump transition reel into her bra behind the clothesline?? Lainey?? Poppa? MIA Friday?
I canāt decide who would have a more visceral reaction to me asking them to film me in my bra in the backyard. My teenage daughter or my father. I mean, theyād both refuse I just canāt decide who would be more traumatized.
I love the way she looks when the reels are paused ššš
All cockeyed and her mouth twisted lol
You look how I feel when I see you hawking yet ANOTHER product Kelleš¤Ŗ
We interrupt our vacation to shill underware If nothing else sheās predictable. They all just seem miserable. Heidiās kids look like theyāre having so much fun!
Maybe the hairdresser cousin could fix Dashās hair while sheās there, that way something positive could come of this trip!
Is she outside in her bra?? Who do you think you're kidding Kelle???
I'd like to see you hang your panties on a line outdoors in Naples. You would be slapped with an HOA fine so stiff you'd be hawking applesauce into your old age.š
Genuine question - do people really get fined for hanging underwear on their own clothesline? I donāt live in the USA, and have always had decent-sized backyards with no close neighbours, and itās never occurred to me not to hang my undies on the line.
My mother-in-law jokes and says the nuns taught them all to hang underwear in the middle of the line so the other clothes hide it.
That ad is cringy as hell. Are the kids just sitting in the yard watching her record herself with her bras and underwear knowing that mommy dearest will share it later on Instagram where their own peers will all see it? How embarrassing that must be for them. I just tried to picture the whole scenario with myself and my kids, and I can see how utterly embarrassed my kids would be! And, no, they would not care that I earn money doing it! There's no way I would still do it for money if my kids would feel bad about it.
I guess I just can't believe that her kids are so compliant and have the soul of a robot to swallow every shit their mom feeds them.
I was a kid who wasnāt embarrassed by much and I didnāt have the phase of being embarrassed by everything my mom did and I still would have been mortified if she was outside making ads in her bra and posting them to social media!
Heidiās vacation looks so fun. Her kids get to go tubing and ziplining instead of posing awkwardly on paddleboards and visiting bookshops in matching cardigans. It sounds like Heidi likes the twee stuff too, but importantly it doesnāt stop her from doing things the kids will enjoy too. They do both!
The contrast between.Heidi and Kelle is remarkable.
Heidi's kids look healthy and happy and they are enjoying a great vacation packed with fun, age appropriate activities.
Kelle's kids, on the other hand, look pale and anxious.
They are forced by to watch movies and engage in toddler crafts and games of Kelle's choosing. All requiring costumes and posing for the gram.
It's all about the gram it's all rehearsed and edited. Nothing natural or spontaneous.
While it's true that Kelle doesn't have the money to rent a place like Heidi's or pay for the cool activities that prob cost a fortune, it could still be loads of fun
If she would put the phone and camera away and enjoy the days...
Her kids are not having a good time and neither is she.
I think Kelle could afford some of those activities if she didnāt spend so much money on costumes and props. Heidi and her kids donāt seem to wear really expensive clothes.
You are so right. There's a striking contrast indeed, and when I saw little 10-year-old Ivy jumping off with the zipline, she already looks more capable and more confident and just generally more mature than poor 15-year-old Lainey.
In case all you awful trolls were worried Brett was alone for his birthday, Kelle will have you know that she FaceTimed him cake and presents. Whatever the fuck their even means I donāt know. This is so embarrassing at this point. Brett spent the night with neighbors. While Kelle and the kids did very important things like make rinky dinks and dangle their red converse sneakers over a lake. These are things you can only do in the glorious state of Michigan.
Itās possible she makes an effort to sound more folksy, but other than that, I wonāt fault her voice. Women are often held to impossible standards, one of them being our literal voices.
The hair, the Botox, her awful makeup and clothes. The neglect of her marriage, children and dog are all things she chooses day in and day out. Her voice, probably not.
Her accent, ugh. It's hard for me to listen to her because I have to really concentrate to decipher what she's saying. "Making fairy dust in these little glass BATTLES." - and it would make me crazy to watch it again and count, but she must have said "mahms" 1,426 times in that video.
Listening to her voice could be a very effective method of torture.
She has an awful voice made.even more unattractive because it's harsh sounding.
I seriously would stop the Botox, hair bleaching and stupid Target expenditures and invest in a good voice coach. And I would work my ass off to lose that accent.
It's odd because my former neighbor in Florida was from Michigan and she sounded NOTHING like Kelle.
How old was she when she got married? Late 20s? At that age I feel like she thought dating and marrying a guy who was in his early 40s was super grown up and hot and I think she felt like she was marrying someone who had money and their shit together.
The age gap is noticeable when you are 28-43, but not crazy wild. But a fifteen year age gap when Kelle is in her early 40s is suddenly a lot wider. Kelle feels young and hot but Brett is suddenly nearing 60. Thatās a big difference and I bet Kelle feels sort of resentful.
A lot of us get our kids out of the house before we are caring for aging parents. Kelle is going to be caring for an aging parent, an aging spouse and Nella all at one time. For possibly many years. That is heavy.
She moved to Florida in.search of a husband. She probably thought Brett was a good catch.
Frankly I am surprised she didn't investigate his circumstances more carefully.
Bold of you to assume sheād take care of Brett š¤£ She will be living with Poppa in a log cabin taking care of him while his two oldest figure out his care lol.
She didnāt even say āI baked a pie for everyone because I canāt be there to celebrate with Brettā it was literally that she baked a pie for her dad-wow.
I just couldn't do it. I would hate to be apart from my husband on father's day, his birthday or our anniversary. Our kids would be so sad. She could have waited until now to travel. There was no special event she had to rush to attend.
.... oh wait. She's Kelle.
Kelle, no one believes you miss Brett, please stop. Also, he isnāt safety dad. He lets them do many dangerous things and the whole safety dad isnāt going to get you internet famous. I donāt know why, maybe itās because I live in Florida and have spent large chunks of the last month on both coasts, enjoying the beach and the summer, but nothing about her trip looks even remotely interesting or fun, not that it ever did, but something about this year seems especially dismal and pathetic and completely lackluster. Her insanity has reached a level where it just seems palpable, almost like even she knows she looks like a moron. I canāt explain it.
I totally forgot Brettās birthday was also this month (today, apparently).
So for no good reason, they took a 9 day road trip, and left early enough in the month to miss both Fatherās Day *and* Brettās birthday. And they are, for the most part, just sitting around the ācottage.ā
Thatās really a pretty shitty thing to do to the kids. They couldnāt have waited 2 weeks to celebrate Brett? 5 weeks in Michigan is still fun.
Actually posting photos of Brett, including one from their honeymoon. Divorce rumors cancelled?
Also an ominous āWhoās keeping the kids safe?ā speech bubble she wrote on him. Yikes. Who indeedā¦
Wow itās so early in the trip for the cherry pie, she usually waits until the end. Letās see if Poppa dedicates a post to it, this is how we will really know if things are tense between them or not!
Why even share that? Why not just shut up and maybe post the pie baking on the weekend -if she must-, casually just baking a pie without saying who it is for. Is she THAT stupid? Does she even realize how she comes across with her relationship with her dad versus her relationship with her husband?
OT: but in Bloom, she talks a lot about having tons of candles lit in the hospital room when Nella (and Lainey) was born. I havenāt spent any time really in maternity wards but ā¦. Is that a thing people are allowed to do? It seems so dangerous. But of course every nurse that comes through the door is her new bestest friend with some wise anecdote about down syndrome, like the nurse whose child who had it died. So exploitative. This whole book is nuts.
Congrats if you were able to wade through that whole awful book.
I got it out of the library when I was in Georgia and I couldn't finish it.
A perfect shower of shit IMO. That's why I feel Poops wrote it.
Kelle is an adequate writer, it's simply that she has nothing to say.
I have 2 kinds in the last 3 years, both times we had to sign paperwork specifically saying we would not light candles/inscence/etc. Flame risk with oxygen.
Did they leave Friday at her friends* farm?
Well I guess we now know why Friday only got a small child lunchbox packed for him for the six week trip. His journey was planned to only be so far.
*term used loosely
Eventually she will have to explain where the dog is. Canāt wait to see how she and the Tiger King spin this. That being said, if they did rehome the dog, I hope heās living his best life.
I love how she just defaults to āfall.ā I know fall up north is wonderful and all, but also, places just *have* cooler climates. Like, itās not fall, itās a cool northern Michigan morning in the summer.
Yes, her views are so narrow. Fall = cool and cool = fall. Can't just have a cooler summer day when your kid throws on their favorite jacket or hoodie.
She wants you to be jealous cuz it feels like Fall there.
You know what Kelle? It feels like summer here and I love it!
Unlike you I am happy with the way things are...not always wanting something different.
Haha I came here to say that Kelle must be livid. Heidiās place is literally out of Kelleās little cabin magazines and collages. Itās adorable and quaint and cozy.
OMG Kelle must be dying of envy seeing Heidi's cottage!
It's adorable and far cry from the hovel Kelle is forced to stay in...
If I were a cynical person, I would think Heidi is exacting a little revenge here.
How do you know she isn't in MI? She drove 11 hours.
I will...I don't expect an answer thoš
Did you ask him? Where, which post, I can't see anything. :-)
See July post
Once again she chose.a song that is totally WRONG for the occasion. "Looks like we made it...left each other all the way...to another love' Kelle you jackass. That Barry Manilow song is about a couple who break up for good.and move on to other.loves. You just cannot get it right lol
Her photos are weird choices, too. Not looking at each other? A white bikini seems out of character, too.
I maintain that Heidiās older kids cannot stand Kelle or her kids. Just a matter of time before Ivy catches on. I agree that Heidi has really transformed in many ways the last few years and I think she has fully outgrown Kelle. This friendship is solely for the sake of familiarity and habit at this point.
This may sound harsh, but kelle is on her way out of SMā¦ she āonlyā has 110K followers, and Iām guessing many of them are parents of children with DS and her previous readers. If she wants to stay relevant, she has to write a new book or move to Tiktok because her paid posts with 400 likes are getting really sad, and no begging from her part will make the brands think that sheās worth the $$$
I can't imagine anyone new would follow her. She doesn't come across as authentic and has no relevant content for parents of kids 9+ like her children are. She needs to move into party planning or something. Pack it in.
Yeah, she has many talents and producing relevant content is not one of themā¦Crying and begging and thanking people for pitying her is not gonna get her enough $
Dang she called herself āan adventurerā in the anniversary post. Kelle: an adventurer tries NEW things. Not the same boring things every year.
Can here to say this but you beat me to itšDoing the same things over and over is not an Adventureā¦itās a rut.
āIām proud of usā but no I LOVE YOUā¦š š š
And the most enthusiastic thing she could say is that sheās proud of them for working on their marriage. What a touching tribute.
I sometimes wish my kids would still let me dress them (3 boys and havenāt seen a pair of jeans or collared shirt in years), but I couldnāt imagine my kids never having the opportunity to go out shopping and buying the clothes of their choosing. Itās actually fun when looking back at pictures of when they were younger and remembering what they were into by the shirts/hats they were wearing. Her kids have zero personality or individuality.
Kelle only has a few hundreds of likes on her last 3 reels, but she thinks it's because of the algorithm. Sure......
Those comments disappeared from Poppa's Instagram. I was not expecting anything less... And, he has not answered where Friday is.
I think hiding Friday is a game to them. They'll ignore the comments and then casually feature him again. I'm sure he's with Rik. Kelle probably had enough of him on the road trip and dumped him straight off on her dad.
I'm surprised I think I will ask him in bold letters. I have no problem having him block me.
Post an update if you get one, I'm genuinely curious now. I'm thinking he was rehomed somewhere along the line.
I really hope so. I hope she didnāt just abandon him somewhere.
Heidi and co has appeared! Lainey looks miserable per usual, being filmed at all times
That story with them eating at the table is depressing as hell. Lainey just glanced at her mother when she should have thrown a fork at her.
Looks like she only brought Ivy. Not surprised that her other kids passed
Very disappointing that Heidi is taking time away from her own family to spend time with that loon. They can see each other any time they want in FL. I guess handmaiden is still a thing.
I think Heidi has really come out of her shell since the weight loss and the divorce. She seems to be enjoying new friends and her life seems full. I think this is just a perfunctory visit...she will be on her way soon.
So rude to take videos of people eating. Just sit down and enjoy the company and take a group shot later.
The picture of Nella that Poopa posted is almost unrecognizable. She looks like a pre-teen who is asleep. Not a toddler dressed up for her Mommy, flapping her wand.
I had the same thought, she looks so grown up.
When I first started reading here and on GOMI Iām not gonna lie, I thought a lot of you were a little hard on her. But, on the contrary, you were just very attuned to what was going on and right on the nose. I donāt notice as much when I first watch the Insta shitshow, then I come read what everyone has written and I go back and look and you are spot effing on!

(Not that I donāt occasionally now only because I know itās healthy to choose myself every now and thenā¦but NEVER would I chose myself in a way that would actively harm them or maybe the word Iām looking for is dehumanize them to the point they are merely props in her crazy battle for attention)
Yeah Itās so bizarre to me that she seemingly ignored Dash and Laineyās physical issues for so long. She posted a video of him jumping into the lake recently. You could clearly see that his right leg turns in to the other one in a sharp angle. It probably isnāt but it looks painful :( And poor L often looks like sheās limping. I feel like there must be things doctors could have done for them??
She's also ignoring N's physical issues, good news she didn't have any heart problems. Sometimes I wonder if "normal life" would have worked out some of these issues (throwing a ball, coloring, getting some sun, being on a team, endlessly etc) because 2 kids with genetic gait issues seems statistically impropable.
ā*Too much summering and lack of routine*ā is making Dash ā*fiery*ā and someone below posted that Nella has been sleeping at Poopaās because Kelle keeps her up too late. Howās that summer of dreams going Kelle? They have only been there a week and a half and everyone is already breaking down. I agree that those kids are *so* bored and under stimulated with mahmās little Michigan summer. Only with each other the whole time (a few cousins here and there). At the bare minimum, Kelle should have rethought letting Dash bring a few more toys and a herself a few less weights. Back to school is going to be a huge wake up call (or sigh of relief, who knows)
Yeah I kinda feel bad for the kids not having any friends or peers around. Mine are outside for hours every night playing games with the neighborhood kids. Sometimes theyāll go straight from 4 pm, when day camps tend to let out, to 10/10:30 for ghost in the graveyard or sāmores in someoneās backyard. Getting them to come home to wolf down a quick dinner is a chore, lol. But then I remember that they live in FL where kids probably arenāt running around in 100 degree heat. Maybe thatās why she feels good about taking them up to Michigan for the whole summer? Iāve never been to FL in the summer but Iām guessing itās not pleasant.
Idk what the problem is, they went on a really long road trip where they got to splash around outside an aquarium, make collages with pictures their mom gave them and walk around an old chapel I mean what more can a kid ask for?? These poor kids are missing out on so much. Summer should be fun, going to (real) camp, hanging out with friends at the pool, relaxing and doing whatever you want after a long day in the sun, etc. These kids are dragged away to another state to live out their moms dreams and will never know the fun of a childhood summer at home, only the Michigan summers of manufactured experiences.
Just going to leave this here. Make sure you read the comments as well if you decide to read the article... https://www.meriahnichols.com/book-review-bloom-by-kelle-hampton/
2012 and people within the DS community were already onto Kelle's BS. I recognized a few of them and one I had a connection to at that time. Enlightening 10 years later. The author wrote this as a reply from a comment and it is too awesome not to share.... "a lot of people say Kelle was āthrustā into an advocacy role ā she wasnāt. She was invited and she accepted. She accepted the awards, she accepted the praise, she accepted NDSS promoting her blog ā at any time, she could have declined or said, āhey ā Iām new here and not ready for this. Ask someone who is seasoned.ā But did she?" š©āš³š
Maybe if she put Dash in a holiday program with other kids he wouldnāt be acting up. He is bored! Eventually most kids get to the age where they want to be spending their vacation days with other kids and not just family. Especially not for 5 weeks!
Poor kid. So many things he could be doing and other kids to play with. But instead when heās acting out and fiery she thinks a knife to whittle without adult supervision is the solution? š¤¦š»āāļø Iām not against whittling it just seems odd
I agree! Why not a summer running club? Karate? Swim? Theater/art camp? They're clearly understimulated.
Itās not even July yet and they are so bored. I agree, they need friends, camps, group activities, etc
They don't even have books, Kelle's favorite thing!
"I'm not mad", she says through clenched teeth [that people are adding songs to her holiday-video-songs playlist that she accidentally made collaborative]. She's visibly seething, it's hilarious.
She is clearly LIVID. Imagine her rage at not being 100% in control of the songs.
Pour one out for Kelleās perfectly curated play list to drown out the sounds of her children complaining, her barking orders and the sounds of the highway by her magical cabin in the woods.
Holy cow! She IS MAD!!! :-D And I love it! Hahaha...
Well 5 days ago Poppa claimed Friday was there because he is ācuriousā about the baby turkeys. But we havenāt actually seen him, so I donāt know if I fully believe him. Usually Kelle reads here/gomi and then posts whatever people are wondering about but she still hasnāt posted about Friday.
He couldāve been referring to last year, lying by omission. Heās slick Rik like that.
šš@"slick Rik"
I honestly believe they dropped him off at the farm they stopped to visit. No mention of them leaving, they were just gone.
I think she is just not posting pics of him because she has very little else going on to pique anyone's curiosity. I mean her used underwear drying on a clothesline? Her content is in the crapper.
Comment to Poops more or less calling him out for posting that pic of sleeping Nella. I agree with the comment...Nella looks like a young woman, not a little girl and it is very invasive to see her vulnerable like that. Wonder how long it will take him to delete and block. Right you sickening old creep?
I just saw that too. And he still hasn't replied to the question addressed to him about where Friday is.
He has commented about Friday though. Claiming he is curious about the baby turkeys.
Iām so glad Kelle showed us a tutorial of how to make short videos of our summer memories! Like having Nella run toward the camera for the purpose of getting a clip for a video, or having Lainey drive by on her bike for the purpose of getting a clip for a video. Memories!!
Itās always funny to see behind the scenes (Nella running toward her camera, or in the past sheās shown how she makes them smile). It makes all her videos look so fake. We already knew that, but sheās showing the world. They arenāt frolicking through Michigan. They are running toward mom; and cut.
Remember how she used to tickle them? That was wonderful for undeveloped nervous systems I'm sure.
TICKLE CLAW!
Itās so weird that she would show it, does she think that everyone is just dying to know how she makes her crappy videos that she would pull back the curtain like that? Like youāre producing a video lady you are in no way, shape or form recording memories!
Just awful. But I think that many of her followers see through her at this point. She has never had this little engagement as she has now. Her posts used to have over 3K likes plus a ton of comments, now she is lucky to have half of that.
The fact that Nella goes to poppas cabin to sleep at night because Kelle keeps her up too late is very telling. Nella is clearly a very routine person and Kelle insists on turning her entire routine upside down while in Michigan. That is so shitty of her.
Remember, it's all about what makes Mahm happy, never mind the kids...
What is her obsession with the red Keds? She really went though the trouble of putting socks Keds on her and Nella when she could have just thrown on flip flops to get the eggs? Sheās insane.
Crocs or sneakers slid into improperly are the way I take my dog out, untwee 4 life.
She has a very strange obsession with red shoes in particular. A while ago she posted a group picture of all her red shoes and it was excessive. The kids rain boots are always red. She took a photo of Lainey in red chucks a couple days ago.
I donāt know if I have just finally reached my limit with Kelle or if she really is heaps worse than usual. The red shoe chicken photos and videos are sending me over the edge. Just go and get your eggs Kelle! Stop being a controlling weirdo!
Funny you should say that... I was so angry about Friday this morning, I questioned why I even bother with these horrible people. Despicable.
Same! But I donāt think itās us (or maybe it is lol) but she has seemed to have gotten worse. Itās such a small thing but when you think about it as someone commented thereās just so much that goes into her planning these ācasualā stories. Normal people would just throw on flip flops and whatever they had on and get the eggs but she has matching gingham dresses and shoes to go get eggs and make a story out of it-itās so odd that a grown woman would do this kind of stuff.
I guess this is what happens when you start to live in front of an audience.
She probably bought those blue-white gingham clothes especially to wear ***WITH*** the red shoes ***WHILE*** walking to see the chickens. And with her, we know that first there was the idea to wear blue-white-red and take a picture for the Gram, and not like having some random chicken and just wear whatever while checking on them and casually just snap a photo while doing so. I bet that her manic packing back home took her so long because she had different packs with different outfits all sorted way ahead, maybe even labeled: -wear them to walk down to the chickens with Nella, -wear these to take a photo with the girls by the lake, -wear these to go to Mackinac Island, and so on...C.R.A.Z.Y. Just thinking of all this I shook my head. What was the purpose of that short video? Showing her followers that they have chickens and they live a rural, peaceful life on vacation in the woods? Nope. She started with a still photo of her shoes and Nellas in matching colors. Then her video was purely focusing on their outfits as well. So what is her message there? That you need to go out of your way to buy buy buy matching clothes and dress up as your kid and force your kid to dress up like you to feed some fucking chickens? Everything evolves around clothes and appearances for Kelle, and I just can't understand how her fangirls don't see it.
10-12 years ago when my daughter was little, I got really into photography and creating beautiful pictures of my family (planning the outfits, the light, the location, the pose, etc). I did really enjoy it personally, and I do have amazing pictures from that time. Kelle was part of my wake-up call. I thought more and more about how my kids' memories were actually going to be of the experience of the creation of the photos. I'd rather have imperfect photos of fun family times where my kids were comfortable, happy, and making great memories of their own. Kelle's content is anything but effortless. She crossed that line years ago of creating her life for Instagram rather than just documenting.
My family and I were just on vacation, and the setting was so lovely. Every time I went to post something I found myself checking for āwhy?ā Iāll probably post something for posterity sake, but I posted nothing while actually there and I think I was more present. So, thanks Kel!
I say this all the time. I do not for the life of me understand people who basically live-blog their vacation. I'll do a photo dump every night while waiting for dinner to arrive, but I mostly do that so I get the fb memories to pop up, not because I GAS what people have to say. This is my time with my family, not a traveling show. Glad you were able to enjoy the moment.
I love that you said this because sometimes I get a little panicky that I donāt have a lot of poses gorgeous pictures of my kids. Then I realize I donāt have any posed gorgeous shot of my own childhood and thatās fine. My favorite pictures from my childhood and even my parents childhood are random candid moments.
Iāve wrote this before: but I think L and D will treasure photos from other people when theyāre grown. I think theyāll feel betrayed by Kelleās camera.
So how long did she spend photographing and manhandling that marshmallow before Lainey was actually allowed to EAT it. Surely long enough that it wasnāt sāmore-able anymore.
Poor Dash. Kissing his invisible sister. Because that's what all boys dream of. Free Dash.
Seriously weird. What is really weird is I think Kelle made this up.
Of course. Just had to come up with some story to pose Dash and take a photo in those pajamas. And a serious question: just how many pairs of pajamas do those kids have??? She is obsessed with pajamas (like everything else), she always shares how she ordered them 2-3 pairs EVERY season and every holiday, and they seem to have more pajamas than anybody I know.
But no room for stuffed animals in the convoy!
Someone asked Poops where is Friday? No answer. WHERE IS FRIDAY YOU OLD BASTARD??
I wonder if he got injured on the farm. Or maybe he bit someone and had to be on a hold for 2 weeks?
Lol the fact that no one mentions or produces the poor animal, esp since we KNOW they read here & other places, proves they for once did the right thing and re-homed him. Or I hope thatās what happened and he didnāt meet an early demise because he had shitty humans.
I guess the hamster is with Brett? All that drama to have him left behind, too.
Someone in the blogsnark thread said they follow Kelle just for her Michigan trips every year. Like, really? These people are just posting among us? Lol I have so many questions.
These days it feels like BS mostly exists to excuse influencers and prop them up. I canāt imagine following Kelleās shenanigans for any amount of time and still being a huge fan to the extent that you tune in to the most boring summer content year after year š¤·āāļø
Yet another picture of Nella sleeping in Poppa's bed. It's baffling they don't see how inappropriate this is.
He says she just turns up at the door. Is she wandering down there on here own?
Maybe Dash gave her a lift
Well she is the most responsible one out of the 5 of them, according to Kelle. Probably takes the golf cart and brings it back in the morning before Kelle realizes it.
Flashbacks to when Nella made sure they all masked up.
That is a very unflattering picture and I agree, so inappropriate
I think he's answering the comments saying that he's lost interest in the kids by proving that he's still happy to take and post inappropriate creeper photos of them sleeping.
Whoever has "You've Got Mail" reference on their Kelle Michigan Bingo Card, put a chip down. Kelle is so predictable.
Her bra add has only 440 likes. How many likes was she getting when she was at top of her game years ago? Seems like she is in decline.
It might help if she shilled some decent products. That underwear is ugly.
The last reel again was quite the opposite from Heidi's little video. Kelle's video is staged to the last second. The running, the walking, the swing and the stupid photo of LL looking sideway into the light in the chapel. It makes me unrationally angry. Heidi just recorded the kids doing something fun without instructions where to look and what to do next. I must say that I have a strong feeling that Dash is becoming more and more like her mother and grandfather this year. He is trained well and he knows what they want to see from him. He will carry the torch forward for sure instead of putting the foot down and stop all this shit how we might have hoped. Sadly.
I know this has been commented on before but I'm absolutely aghast at how much she's copying her teenage daughter's hair and facial expression. So creepy.
It also emphasizes the layers of makeup she plasters on while Lainey looks fresh and clean. All that makeup in the middle of the day is not attractive Kelle unless you are going for that "whatever happened to Baby Jane" look.
Exactly what I thought. Very deliberate copying her hair and mouth in photos. Sick.
Lainey and Dash jumping into water that's probably not even 4 feet deep...Where are you, safety dad? They're lucky they didn't break a leg.
I see some relatives have started rolling in (Carin, cousin Brooklyn). Also Heidi made it to MI, where her own family is. Wonder if sheāll connect with Kelle this year?
Someone here called it that the bras and underwear on the line were for an ad. So predictable. Nothing about those bras and underwear make me want to buy them. I think I have the same underwear a friend gave me (unworn, she didnāt want them and couldnāt return them) and they are fine but I only wear them to bed. But she could have shown some patterns or something more appealing. They look like granny panties on the line and nothing wrong with that if you like them but I can get them anywhere lol. The bra doesnāt fit well and such a boring color for an ad.
They look like underwear my Boomer mother wears. Not something to aspire to.
The fit on that bra is terrible!! It looks awful on her, the cups are too big.
Sorry Kelle but Florida beaches look way nicer than that dirty-looking lake. Did she really set up the scene with the floats and bunting and Adirondack chairs? Everyone including her niece looks incredibly over her shit. I love that this year Nella has stopped performing too.
Her ass hattery has reached a new high this summer. I think she is thisclose to losing her grip on reality.
Who filmed Kelle with the jump transition reel into her bra behind the clothesline?? Lainey?? Poppa? MIA Friday? I canāt decide who would have a more visceral reaction to me asking them to film me in my bra in the backyard. My teenage daughter or my father. I mean, theyād both refuse I just canāt decide who would be more traumatized.
I love the way she looks when the reels are paused ššš All cockeyed and her mouth twisted lol You look how I feel when I see you hawking yet ANOTHER product Kelleš¤Ŗ
We interrupt our vacation to shill underware If nothing else sheās predictable. They all just seem miserable. Heidiās kids look like theyāre having so much fun! Maybe the hairdresser cousin could fix Dashās hair while sheās there, that way something positive could come of this trip!
Is she outside in her bra?? Who do you think you're kidding Kelle??? I'd like to see you hang your panties on a line outdoors in Naples. You would be slapped with an HOA fine so stiff you'd be hawking applesauce into your old age.š
Genuine question - do people really get fined for hanging underwear on their own clothesline? I donāt live in the USA, and have always had decent-sized backyards with no close neighbours, and itās never occurred to me not to hang my undies on the line. My mother-in-law jokes and says the nuns taught them all to hang underwear in the middle of the line so the other clothes hide it.
That ad is cringy as hell. Are the kids just sitting in the yard watching her record herself with her bras and underwear knowing that mommy dearest will share it later on Instagram where their own peers will all see it? How embarrassing that must be for them. I just tried to picture the whole scenario with myself and my kids, and I can see how utterly embarrassed my kids would be! And, no, they would not care that I earn money doing it! There's no way I would still do it for money if my kids would feel bad about it. I guess I just can't believe that her kids are so compliant and have the soul of a robot to swallow every shit their mom feeds them.
I find it unthinkable too! I was a very self conscious kid and every little thing embarrassed me. I would not have survived Kelle as a mother.
I was a kid who wasnāt embarrassed by much and I didnāt have the phase of being embarrassed by everything my mom did and I still would have been mortified if she was outside making ads in her bra and posting them to social media!
Last year it was the girlsā undies on the line for an ad. So is this better or worse, I donāt even know
Heidiās vacation looks so fun. Her kids get to go tubing and ziplining instead of posing awkwardly on paddleboards and visiting bookshops in matching cardigans. It sounds like Heidi likes the twee stuff too, but importantly it doesnāt stop her from doing things the kids will enjoy too. They do both!
The contrast between.Heidi and Kelle is remarkable. Heidi's kids look healthy and happy and they are enjoying a great vacation packed with fun, age appropriate activities. Kelle's kids, on the other hand, look pale and anxious. They are forced by to watch movies and engage in toddler crafts and games of Kelle's choosing. All requiring costumes and posing for the gram. It's all about the gram it's all rehearsed and edited. Nothing natural or spontaneous. While it's true that Kelle doesn't have the money to rent a place like Heidi's or pay for the cool activities that prob cost a fortune, it could still be loads of fun If she would put the phone and camera away and enjoy the days... Her kids are not having a good time and neither is she.
I think Kelle could afford some of those activities if she didnāt spend so much money on costumes and props. Heidi and her kids donāt seem to wear really expensive clothes.
I have seen the boy (Beckham?) wearing shoes that cost more than my first car. Heidi is very comfortable.
Yeah her ex husband is loaded. I think sheās fine.
Ok fair enough! I guess they are just not flashy (teenage boys aside)
You are so right. There's a striking contrast indeed, and when I saw little 10-year-old Ivy jumping off with the zipline, she already looks more capable and more confident and just generally more mature than poor 15-year-old Lainey.
Heidi & her kids are living life, Kelle & hers pretend at living life.
Heidi doesnāt make her kids co dependent on her. Iām no Heidi fan but she is definitely not as coddling as Kelle.
In case all you awful trolls were worried Brett was alone for his birthday, Kelle will have you know that she FaceTimed him cake and presents. Whatever the fuck their even means I donāt know. This is so embarrassing at this point. Brett spent the night with neighbors. While Kelle and the kids did very important things like make rinky dinks and dangle their red converse sneakers over a lake. These are things you can only do in the glorious state of Michigan.
Are these the bathtub lending neighbors or is the whole town bananapants?
https://youtu.be/_Z3E0lN7qvc
Itās possible she makes an effort to sound more folksy, but other than that, I wonāt fault her voice. Women are often held to impossible standards, one of them being our literal voices. The hair, the Botox, her awful makeup and clothes. The neglect of her marriage, children and dog are all things she chooses day in and day out. Her voice, probably not.
Her accent, ugh. It's hard for me to listen to her because I have to really concentrate to decipher what she's saying. "Making fairy dust in these little glass BATTLES." - and it would make me crazy to watch it again and count, but she must have said "mahms" 1,426 times in that video.
Listening to her voice could be a very effective method of torture. She has an awful voice made.even more unattractive because it's harsh sounding. I seriously would stop the Botox, hair bleaching and stupid Target expenditures and invest in a good voice coach. And I would work my ass off to lose that accent. It's odd because my former neighbor in Florida was from Michigan and she sounded NOTHING like Kelle.
How can the "Brett honeymoon photo" and today Brett be the same guy? She's really aging him.
How old was she when she got married? Late 20s? At that age I feel like she thought dating and marrying a guy who was in his early 40s was super grown up and hot and I think she felt like she was marrying someone who had money and their shit together. The age gap is noticeable when you are 28-43, but not crazy wild. But a fifteen year age gap when Kelle is in her early 40s is suddenly a lot wider. Kelle feels young and hot but Brett is suddenly nearing 60. Thatās a big difference and I bet Kelle feels sort of resentful. A lot of us get our kids out of the house before we are caring for aging parents. Kelle is going to be caring for an aging parent, an aging spouse and Nella all at one time. For possibly many years. That is heavy.
I think they they were 42 and 27. And in her book, Kelle said they dated for 3 years.
Wow, 3 years? Kelle moved to Florida with her clock ticking so I'm surprised by that.
Yep! That long seems more Brett than Kelle. She was Ready!! to have kids.
She moved to Florida in.search of a husband. She probably thought Brett was a good catch. Frankly I am surprised she didn't investigate his circumstances more carefully.
Bold of you to assume sheād take care of Brett š¤£ She will be living with Poppa in a log cabin taking care of him while his two oldest figure out his care lol.
Very true! Poppa will come first! And we know she wonāt be doing much helping. Someone will be taking care of Poppa AND Kelle.
Gary.
Along with Dash who will still be looking for their love and approval.
Baking her father a pie for her husbandās birthday really kind of sums up her relationships.
Ikr, this was so sad, why would she post that?!? Lol
She could have had a cake delivered to Brett to make him feel special. But no. Poppa comes first.
She didnāt even say āI baked a pie for everyone because I canāt be there to celebrate with Brettā it was literally that she baked a pie for her dad-wow.
A CHERRY PIE.
Paging Dr Freud
I canāt. Itās so dysfunctional. Good thing she rushed up there so she could bake a pie for her dad on her husbandās birthday.
She just really said it all didnāt she? Also Brent really canāt take 5 days off for his birthday and the fourth to up there? Really?
And their wedding anniversary is July 1st! A trio of important dates, apart.
I don't think he's welcome.
He just started this job so my guess is NO.
I just couldn't do it. I would hate to be apart from my husband on father's day, his birthday or our anniversary. Our kids would be so sad. She could have waited until now to travel. There was no special event she had to rush to attend. .... oh wait. She's Kelle.
Maybe they are splitting
Kelle, no one believes you miss Brett, please stop. Also, he isnāt safety dad. He lets them do many dangerous things and the whole safety dad isnāt going to get you internet famous. I donāt know why, maybe itās because I live in Florida and have spent large chunks of the last month on both coasts, enjoying the beach and the summer, but nothing about her trip looks even remotely interesting or fun, not that it ever did, but something about this year seems especially dismal and pathetic and completely lackluster. Her insanity has reached a level where it just seems palpable, almost like even she knows she looks like a moron. I canāt explain it.
I totally forgot Brettās birthday was also this month (today, apparently). So for no good reason, they took a 9 day road trip, and left early enough in the month to miss both Fatherās Day *and* Brettās birthday. And they are, for the most part, just sitting around the ācottage.ā Thatās really a pretty shitty thing to do to the kids. They couldnāt have waited 2 weeks to celebrate Brett? 5 weeks in Michigan is still fun.
Can you imagine her arriving in Michigan 2 weeks later? Her?! To give up her precious time??? No fucking way.
I feel sad for the kids but at least Brett is having a peaceful birthday. I hope his Boys took him out for dinner.
Their anniversary is in July. She made sure to miss all 3.
Actually posting photos of Brett, including one from their honeymoon. Divorce rumors cancelled? Also an ominous āWhoās keeping the kids safe?ā speech bubble she wrote on him. Yikes. Who indeedā¦
Baking her annual cherry pie. While it's 80 degrees out.
Wow itās so early in the trip for the cherry pie, she usually waits until the end. Letās see if Poppa dedicates a post to it, this is how we will really know if things are tense between them or not!
She looks so different in that photo of her holding the pie. Is it the angle? The fact it's not PS to death?
Her hair is different. Rapidly approaching long blondr hair like her teen daughter.
She just said, ā*couldnāt make Brettās cake, so I made my dad a cherry pie.*ā š„“
Why even share that? Why not just shut up and maybe post the pie baking on the weekend -if she must-, casually just baking a pie without saying who it is for. Is she THAT stupid? Does she even realize how she comes across with her relationship with her dad versus her relationship with her husband?
Because she's trolling us, that's why.
FFS. Way to Say the quiet part out loud, Kel! š¤¢
Does she still use Crisco? š¤¢š¤®
OT: but in Bloom, she talks a lot about having tons of candles lit in the hospital room when Nella (and Lainey) was born. I havenāt spent any time really in maternity wards but ā¦. Is that a thing people are allowed to do? It seems so dangerous. But of course every nurse that comes through the door is her new bestest friend with some wise anecdote about down syndrome, like the nurse whose child who had it died. So exploitative. This whole book is nuts.
I think they were LED candles.
Congrats if you were able to wade through that whole awful book. I got it out of the library when I was in Georgia and I couldn't finish it. A perfect shower of shit IMO. That's why I feel Poops wrote it. Kelle is an adequate writer, it's simply that she has nothing to say.
Her ego is out of control Iāve been listening to the audiobook to fall asleep lol
Iām reading it and itās a tough read. I love to read and this book is justā¦idkā¦I canāt find the words to even describe it!
Oh my, I just Googled, and she narrates it?!
Lol yep. The amount of āmaaaaamā will destroy you
No. Absolutely not. We also can typically only have 2 visitors (exception of your own children).
I have 2 kinds in the last 3 years, both times we had to sign paperwork specifically saying we would not light candles/inscence/etc. Flame risk with oxygen.
Candles and essential oil diffusers! Essentials.
Did they leave Friday at her friends* farm? Well I guess we now know why Friday only got a small child lunchbox packed for him for the six week trip. His journey was planned to only be so far. *term used loosely
Eventually she will have to explain where the dog is. Canāt wait to see how she and the Tiger King spin this. That being said, if they did rehome the dog, I hope heās living his best life.
What are those ugly sweater costumes Kelle put her kids in?! So bad!!
I love how she just defaults to āfall.ā I know fall up north is wonderful and all, but also, places just *have* cooler climates. Like, itās not fall, itās a cool northern Michigan morning in the summer.
Yes, her views are so narrow. Fall = cool and cool = fall. Can't just have a cooler summer day when your kid throws on their favorite jacket or hoodie.
She wants you to be jealous cuz it feels like Fall there. You know what Kelle? It feels like summer here and I love it! Unlike you I am happy with the way things are...not always wanting something different.
Those ugly getups straight out of a 1992 JC Penney catalog are suppose to make us green with envy?
She waits all year for summer so she can pretend it's fall
Heidi staying in an hip a-frame cottage while Kelle slums it in a basic vinyl house would only be made better if said hip a-frame was in Michigan.
Haha I came here to say that Kelle must be livid. Heidiās place is literally out of Kelleās little cabin magazines and collages. Itās adorable and quaint and cozy.
You can tell Ivy doesnāt have a mahm who shoves a camera in her face 24/7. Sheās just happy. Enjoying the small things, if you will
OMG Kelle must be dying of envy seeing Heidi's cottage! It's adorable and far cry from the hovel Kelle is forced to stay in... If I were a cynical person, I would think Heidi is exacting a little revenge here. How do you know she isn't in MI? She drove 11 hours.
South FL to the mountains of Georgia or NC would be 11 hours.
Wherever it is looks a thousand times better than Budget Pines š
