Yes, when Brandon and Jen still had the cottage they invited the internet writer gang and the hubbies for the first time. And yes it probably was super awkward because I really doubt even the women are that comfortable around each other. These types of openly transactional “friendships” never are especially when one in the group is clearly living in a different world (Jen became vastly more famous than the rest of them quickly). I’m sure there’s a ton of unspoken resentment and weirdness. Bring around the men, especially under a Christian umbrella, where men are often promoted as the most precious rare jewels, and things can get more tense.
Now yes Jen has gone on podcasts and said these same friends sat her down and said interactions with Brandon were especially concerning. This may or may not be true as they always get creative with recollecting life stories. But yeah I don’t think it was an easygoing weekend. But I doubt it would’ve been even if Brandon and Jen weren’t already on the rocks. |

Dewdrops on Bluebonnets and whiskers on Trevor - WHO IS TOTALLY STILL MY BOYFRAN - these are a few of my favorite things.
I get asked BY SO MANY OF YOU what my favorite products are. So many of you droolings slide into my DMs asking for recommendations for everything from hair products (I know, I don't understand it either tee hee) to the best way to clean that black stuff that grows on the molding around the inside of your refrigerator door. And, I know you meant "black stuff" in the most inclusive, non-racist way but I do want to take this moment, to use MY PLATFORM to let you know that there are kinder ways to talk about fridge fungus that don't highlight your glaring white fragility, COMMUNITY. AnyHOO beleagureds. The point is that EV-REE-ONE sees little ole Jane Leopolda Kringenschmitze (that's what @thetrevorbarrettproject calls me) <heart eyes emoji heart eyes emoji heart eyes emoji> as a lifestyle expert so here I am saluting smartly with my latest round of Jane Capsticher favorite things - #sponsoredbyschillABLE #FLOPLPartner #linkinstories You'll find all my shopping links in one tidy little place, so go to town, droolings. GO. TO. TOWN. Mama's got eyelash extensions to pay for. In addition to my favorite LIFE CHANGING edibles to everyone's favorite mamaw shoes - fine they're ugly AF but very bunion friendly IYKYK - you'll find jewels like my undereye concealer - I recommend the shades 'Zinc oxide 2.0' and 'Light Brite' for that maximum pop of...um, color...to accentuate your delicate under eye area, and some fun, easy ways to improve your home's aesthetic, like Scarybird Press-On Wallpaper Sheets and the Joyful Empty Nester line of affordable glassware. Of course, my list of favorite beach reads is there, too, like 'Church Hurt - It's not you, it's them" and "Affiliate Marketing for Dummies" and "The real truth about why I love corn." And, for those of you who haven't snagged your copies of "This changes the Wi-Fi password," TREVOR'S LATEST 'best seller' or preordered my latest, "A-WOKE" then I'll be ramming those down your throat - figuratively of course - once again. Tra la la. Happy shopping! Also, gentle reminder - for the HUNDREDS OF YOU who try to talk to me while I'm sashaying through the Buda HEB, please respect my privacy. If I don't make eye contact or if I'm wearing my super large Shein sunglasses indoors, that's a clear sign that I'm not willing to be "on." Or, that I've range drunk too many glasses of Black Box Sauv Blanc while rage scrolling Joanna Gaines' Instagram feed. Celebrities need their space, too, droolings and have pity on YA GIRL - my ABLE-TOE makes sashaying darn uncomfortable sometimes so just let me be me. |

Trust me. Big Sis’ jealousy of Joanna Gaines is pathological. |

Can someone explain Jen's friends to me like I'm five? I know about the group that includes Kristin Howerton and the Canadian lady who deleted all of her before Ozempic pictures but this other group of randos including the girl with the teeth - who are they? Local mom friends? From her old church?
I followed her until about a year after her divorce until she got really insufferable. I found this group through a friend and I am not as up to speed on her friend groups. She has 2 or 3 differnt friend group? |

| That whole "please don't talk to me in HEB" comment on the latest Jane post (nicely done, btw) does make me think that Jane IS actually Jen, because why bother posting that otherwise? |

Good Lord, droolings. Jen and Jane are not the same person. You wound me. Tra la la. |

So, do I have to read Trevor's book to get inspiration about what my new WIFI password should be, or can I just use my imagination and go for it.
Ever Jane's adoring drooling, #15 |

lol! Jane, if you wrote a book in your voice, it would be the next Bridget Jones’ Diary. People wouldn’t need to know Jen Hatmaker (because who does, lol), it could be a sendup of implementer culture writ large. Do a spec chapter and shop it around; I think you’d get a great response! |

It Jen was Jane I’d be floored. “Jane” is so much a better writer, way wittier, way more savage than Jen. I don’t think Jen has it in her. Plus, when has Jen ever been so self deprecating or self critical? She’s too much of a narcissist to ridicule herself so mockingly. “Jane” basically takes what she’s does and brutalizes it. It’s only powerful and cutting cause it exposes a raw truth. That Jen is a massive performative phoney. |

I watched the entire latest video hoping it was an announcement of her mid-life holy decision to dump her deadbeat “boyfriend”.
It was not. |

| I completely agree with the sentiment in this thread that Jane Capstitcher should absolutely be seeking representation as a writer. She needs an agent! Even the whole story of this being a thread on DC urban Mom, snarking on a writer, and another writer comes in and holds us captive! It's such a great story. I love it. |

The Kristen and Sarah group are part of her internet bestie circle, which includes them plus Sarah Goodfellow, Jamie Wright and Tara Livesay. Sarah G, Tara and Jamie were all missionaries to Peru, Costa Rica and Haiti, respectively. Sarah was with Krochet Kids, which employed local Peruvians in a poor neighborhood in making hats and other items. Tara was a midwife at a maternity clinic outside Port au Prince for years with a group called Heartline Ministries. Jamie and her husband and three young boys served in Costa Rica for a few years, I think, and it's all documented in her memoir. Kristen, like Jen and Tara, adopted black children. Sarah B is a writer of numerous tomes about faith and deconstruction and lives in Canada. |

I think she means Jenny, Shonna and Megan. Jenny and her husband moved to Austin with Jen and Brandon to help them churchplant. Shonna knew them from very early on as well. Jen has written about them in all her books. They vacation together constantly, dote on each other’s children like their own, etc. Meghan (teeth), not sure where she turned up from. She’s much younger than the rest with small children and her husband bought them all vespas for accepting her into their lil group. Jenny and Shonna have an interior design company together but it seems they only get contracts from friends and family. They pride themselves on being completely obnoxious but I think their bond is genuine. |
