Yes, I think he "got a job" with Amber and David Fillerup of Barefoot Blonde doing....???? But let's get real, that is smoke and mirrors. Their money making scheme is raising their "5 little New Yorkers!" I think they're toast.

On the flip side, she seemed constantly stressed raising those kids in a very small space for awhile and still not great even after their move. I think they'll have a much better lifestyle outside of Manhattan with space for 5 kids. But yeah, their brand has been sinking for awhile and she can only push out these content babies for so long. It's been awhile since they were "aspirational." They were cute and aspirational when they were in DC with one kid and a dog. More and more kids in a tiny space, Josh quitting his job (no longer the "my husband works so hard!") to work on the blog exclusively and it's a full on business. When shit hit the fan they were out and I can't see a return. They're any other suburban Mormon family in a cul de sac with 5 kids. Yawn.

Really?? Spill the tea! How did you find this out?

This man has an MBA from Columbia right? He dropped a real job for the blog and then his next job is working for those 2? I figured through Mormon connections he found a real job.

He has a BA from Columbia, no further education. He had real jobs with real trajectories and backed out right quick when they realized they could monitize their life and their kids on the blog. Keep pumping them out and get sponsers. They lived the high life for awhile, but a lot of that blog was "BIG family! In NYC!" and they had the most touristy, gross version of NYC possible in my opinion, but things like their extremely cramped living quarters were real. No matter how many colors you paint your furniture, a 2 bedroom NYC apartment with 5 kids has got to be hell. They made it pretty, but IDK. Smoke and mirrors again and I am legit happy for their kids they are at least somewhere they can explore and don't have to be 100% social media props, because that's how it always seemed to me. They have space for a large family in AZ. Naomi occasionally, (VERY occoasionally) just seems super, super depressed. In a sort of "I did all the right things Mormon women are supposed to do. I met a "Columbia guy" and thought he would be successful, but now I have to post 2+ hr postpartum posts of me breastfeeding to generate engagement to fund our lifestlye." He could have been making bank at some hedge fund, but he checked the hell out at like 28 and went Mommy Blog. If you couldn't tell, I would resent him tremendously if I were her We have nothing in common.

Oh, and how is he with the Fillerups? Not sure, but they seem close out there. He's a Mormon guy who has basically flunked entirely in his "provider" role and hasn't had a real job in a decade. Bank of America isn't exactly going to ask him back in a Director role, I guess he could do hair care? His experience now is social media. They fled NYC " their little city of ours!" and abandoned their "brand."

They're toast with sponsors, I'm sure they are taking what they can get. They have a lot of money, no tears lost, but the heyday is over.

There were rumors he comes from a very wealthy family and may have a trust fund. Often in these set for life families, you are expected to get a fancy degree and have a job to make your family look good and not get deemed a spoiled trust fund baby.

I looked at a couple of these blogs. Monetizing your children is gauche.

Honestly, they were just so smug about their lifestyle in NYC. Ugh

True but at least they're paid. Seems like 90% of the families at our private school are pimping their kids for social media clout. It's so cringe. We don't post anything!

Speaking--no pun intended-- of the Fillerups, I really hope they've gotten serious about addressing their kids' delays.

Yes! She seems like a loving mom, but I think she is clueless about normal child development. She spends so much time showing off her butt and trying to be sexy without crossing into soft porn that i don't think she has time to focus on milestones and early intervention. I had no idea Mormons were allowed to show so much cleavage ad tushy.

Posting again to ask, in her "grocery store haul" IG post minus the groceries where she is wearing a bikini, is her full nipple out? I like how somehow asks her if she grocery shops in her bikini. It's like...the photo does not match the caption or maybe the heat in Arizona is getting to her.

It gets her more likes which is all that matters.

Agreed. There is something deeper going on as well with the constant need fo crank out babies. I thought they had announced the new baby was a boy but maybe I’m making that up because the others are. I also think there is no way she can have undergone any part of the needed grieving process for Crew before immediately getting pregnant again. I worry about her long term mental health.

The nee baby is definitely a boy and she’s now endorsing all sorts of products named after the son who died at Christmas. Very sad. I can’t even begin to imagine what it takes to profit from your child that died not even a year ago.

Those pics of her holding his dead body were really out there and way too much. Approaching disrespectful and something to definitely keep private.

With all due respect you and PP can just STFU. I didn't even know who this person was and went to her instagram and just...what is wrong with you? People deal with grief in many different ways. There but for the grace of god go I. I hope you never lose your healthy infant suddenly and with no warning and then grieve properly on social media.

It's exploitative. A screw is loose in your head if you lose a child and you're thinking about how many follwers you might gain from your tragedy and how much money you can rake in by coming out with a new product line. Nevermind this loss, you can be pregnant in 3 weeks with a replacement baby. None of that is any type of healthy grieving.

This. These stories usually don't end well, because the older kids grow out of the cute stage and start asking serious questions about their privacy and why Mommy and Daddy put their entire lives on display during the family's worst moments. I think it's happening with the Nielsen boys right now.

They aren't necessarily extroverts. A lot of them actually seem like they don't do much actual interacting with people outside of "influencer events" and photoshoots.
