Favorite Childhood Memories of my Mom 

Could you ask your mom if she could possibly sit down and do a video with you where she shares her best parenting advice/tips/tricks with us? ☺️

You should make this a series, sharing all your favorite memories with each of your sisters, and how often you see them now that you're all starting families of your own. I love all your videos by the way!!

Ivy is GORGEOUS just like her mom...check out those eyes!

God bless you Jessa for honoring your parents.

I’ve been binging your videos lately, and as a mom of 3 older boys, 18, 23, and 25, I can certainly tell by watching you, that all these qualities you are talking about, have definitely passed down to you as a mother. I watched you DIY bunk bed video the other night, and I probably drove my husband crazy talking about how impressed I was that you were able to pack up 3 small children, drive to Lowe’s, and return home, and proceed to build a bunk bed. What struck me, was that you never once raise your voice at the kids, in fact, you engage them in every activity you possibly can! Even when Henry lost the Allan wrench to the playground equipment, you were so calm, and simply went out and bought another wrench! It was amazing! The qualities that you speak of your mom having, are definitely in you as well! You are very calm, and I love the way you talk to your children, and explain things. Even when Ivy took Surge’s drill toy and hid behind the slide....many parents were not even engage in that, and would simply say, “she’s a baby, let her play with it”, but you followed up on it, and you managed to get her to give the toy back to her brother. I just love your parenting, and wish I had had the same strength, compassion, and patience when my own children were young! Your parents have obviously done a phenomenal job, and you are now following in their footsteps, with your own family! I’m always blow away when watching these videos! More people should watch them...they might learn a thing or two!

Thank you Jessa for praising your mom. For many years young people are so critical of their parents, always blaming them for whatever goes wrong in their lives😢

Jessa, your parents are a good example of what parents should be and it is very evident in all of their children. Thank you for sharing such a lovely tribute of your Mom. Stay safe and well.

I can learn more from your mother than from mine. She is an unbelievably precious person and mother. Stunning!! I love her way of keeping the family together and educate you. WOW

I recently had a miscarriage at 16 weeks. Through that tough time, I kept remembering your parents saying “the lord gives, and the lord takes away, blessed be the name of the lord” when they lost a baby too soon. That has been such a huge example for me on how to handle our loss. Your mom’s love for Jesus is abundant in everything she does. What a great Titus 2 way to teach younger women.

I am 1 of 11 kids and people are always surprised to hear that we all have the same mom and dad.. my mom passed away 5 years ago In May. Something I always dreaded all my life but never expected that it would happen that soon.. hearing you speak about your mother takes me back so much . My mom was so much like your mom.. she was the most loving, giving, caring, respectful, meek woman of God. She lived for her children and grandchildren. I think something made me pick on your video tonight. It was so hard to lose my mom and in the beginning I thought about her all the time but I’ve lost sight of that for awhile now. It was hard to remember all the good times and so painful . I have 5 children of my own now and have been struggling with patience and not losing my temper.. hearing you talk about your wonderful mother reminded me of mine and how I want to be. For once I feel like hearing you talk about your mom helped me to look back and recall memories of mine and for once not all felt so painful but actually made me smile and say yes my mom did the same or said the same.. so thank you Jess..

I have five little ones right now and there was a time didn’t think that I would be able to handle having more than 2...But truly my heart just grows with each one and I cannot imagine not having my current baby number 5. I’m so thankful for this opportunity to be a mama. I needed to hear this and pray that Christ will renew my mind and help me be soft spoken for my own children, and not use tiredness as an excuse!! ♥️ I read a book your mom wrote about how she was up at 2am doing laundry again and just cried to the Lord and then a sweet lady volunteering to help fold laundry soon after. She sure is an inspiration and wealth of wisdom! It struck me that honoring our parents as you have here is so important because not only is it so we are obeying that command, but also because it is such a huge blessing to others when we choose to do so. Thank you for taking the time to do this Jessa! ♥️

Jessa, this is so good. I’m a mom - a bit older than your mom - and I so appreciate my own mom when I reflect back. I lost my dad six years ago. One of the last things my dad ever said to me was, “You know what, Deb? A lifetime sure goes by in a hurry.” It’s true. ❣️

You're a really good story-teller!

We ALWAYS appreciate our moms when we become mothers ourselves, that is a wonderful testament 👩🏻‍🦱👩🏻👦🏻🧒🏻👧🏻

Good morning, Just wanted to say thank you for the special words obout your Mom! Reminding me how Blessed I've been in my life. My Mother was so patient and kind with my Sisters and me, as we grew up. I loved her so much and miss her now that she's gone! Bless you

It literally melted my heart when Ivy said “daddy” when Ben walked in ❤️❤️❤️

Wow I can’t believe how baby ivy looks like your grandma her great grandma that’s sweet she was a great woman

Thanks Jessa. I too HAVE those similar memories of my Momma. I too am the 5th child out of 6. Momma is now 90 years old. We need your prayers. Love you guy's just like you are my own family.

Jessa, I can't think of a better way to honor your parents than to speak of the personal memories of ur growing up years! and reminiscing on the many contributions they made in each of your lives. Your Mom🌹has been an example to many of us veteran moms as well. I remember purchasing her book, "A Love That Multiplies" and reading it with delight knowing that I would be encouraged. Your Dad Jim Bob & Mom Michelle, created a warm home filled with what she termed “serene chaos.”😁 I derived so much from the spiritual insights, wisdom, practical tips, and the many funny & tender stories she shared in that book. They have loved well! 💯💕 PS:I'm sorry about your grandma's passing last year. She too had a wonderful testimony of faith. You and your siblings have some big shoes to fill with all the love that has been poured out into your lives. ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ 🌺🌺🌺🌺🌺🌺🌺

Your mother sounds like a mother that should be in the hall of fame or win an Emmy!

I lost my mama when I was 26, but she was a gem like sweet Michelle! ❤️

Ivy is SO ADORABLE!!!

It's important to say the good things about people while they are still here with us. Love this.

Ivy’s eyes are absolutely gorgeous like her mommy’s! ❤️

Yes, your mom is truly precious. What a blessing she is, and I've enjoyed watching her all these years.

Your mom is truly amazing! She has so much patience & wisdom. I have thought of her many times while raising my children. I too have a 50lb purse that my husband calls the bottomless pit

Good Lord Jessa, what a beautiful tribute to your mother. And what a beautiful woman and mother that you are. You do inspire. You and yours are truly blessed.

What a lovely tribute to honor your sweet Mother! You are such a thoughtful daughter. I loved watching this!! Thank you for sharing! 😊💕

This is so awesome! I lost my mom almost 7 years ago. You are so blessed to still have your wonderful mother who is such an amazing example to follow!! May you entire family continue to be blessed! Especially your lovely parents!

This was such a loving positive talk about your mother. I always enjoy your family and the gentle nature in the way you treat your children. You had a gentle teacher.

I wish that I had even half of the patience your mum has … I only have 4 children and I loose my cool all the time. Thank you for showing your mum in a different light especially with all the negativity towards your parents/family. You speak so well

Also super organized and had children for all the right reasons 🙏🏽👍🏽❤️🙏🏽❤️👍🏽🙏🏽❤️👍🏽

To GOD the glory! This is such a wonderful tribute to your mom. You should preach. Your words have really reached me tonight. I lost my son last February at the age of 43 very unexpectedly. He was a good Christian man, a school teacher, a loving husband, and day wonderful, loving son and brother. The pain has been unbearable, but every day I wake up to read scripture, and depend so heavily on the Lord’s love, and mercy. I will miss my son until I take my last breath, but he is with our Savior,

So sweet! I met your mom at Fort Rock in 2017 and she was just lovely & warm, and so interested in my husband and I.

Jessa, you are such a beautiful soul. You shine while talking about your mother. Lovely, heart moving. Many blessings to you and yours.

Thank you for sharing this beautiful insight on your mom Mrs. Duggar. She sounds like a lovely lady.

This was truly beautiful to hear. I'm a big believer in telling those you love what you are thankful for while they are here. It's so clear how gracious and patient your mother is. I'm so glad you made this video Jessa. It's so important to think about what memories and qualities your grateful for in your parents and to have them spread through generations. I see alot of your mother's nature in you and how you hold yourself. I get alot out of your videos and I'd really like to thank you for that!

This has been so delightful and refreshing!! So healing and needed😌 in our world. We love and need to hear such amazing and positive things about the real beauty of parents.....YOUR parents!!🤗♥️

Michelle is someone we can all look up to. Thank you God for sweet Jessas mom!!

I honestly didn't think I would watch this all the way through, but this was so enjoyable and I will probably reference things in the future so many good tips and things to think about specifically since I'm a mom. Anyway I loved this so much! Thank You! I've been watching you guys forever since the first special even before the regular show I just found everything so interesting, and your mom has always seemed so wonderful.

So precious. This is just so lovley .your mom is a wonderful godly lady. X💕💟💕🌷⚘🌹🌸💐🏵🌼💚💚💟

She's so adorable, those are the prettiest eyes ever. I love Michelle too.

I have always loved your mom. Back when 17 kids & counting I remember thinking how blessed you are to have your parents. You are a bit like her in the patience area.

I am not a mother yet but there is so much that you've said about yourself and your Mom that I can apply once I become a Mom. This was so touching. God is pleased.

Jessa, what a very beautiful tribute to your mom! God Bless You and God Bless your Mom!

Wow! Wouldn't every mom love her daughter to praise her so much! I am inspired to be a better mom to my 2 teens!

Jessa, both of your videos on your parents are so inspiring! I am encouraged to press on in the fight of parenting. God bless you and yours!

You have a wonderful mom

Your Mum is a beautiful lady inside and out, I was lucky enough to spend time with your mum and Family when they were in New Zealand, your Mum is honestly the nicest person I have ever met! Your mum and dad did an amazing job raising you all!! ❤

Awww Jessa , what a wonderful way to honor your mom. I hope to be half of the mom Your mom is. You and your siblings have been so blessed to have your parents by you side. Keep going sweetheart. Blessings to you and yours.

I’m so grateful for this video! Thanks for taking the time ! We could all apply these life lessons! 💜

Thanks Jessa for sharing how you feel about your mom....I've watched since day one and your Mother is a blessing, her kindness shows 24-7... Even when she was giving birth she was so graceful and calm.... the loss of Jubilee was a hard one to watch for your mom crying was something new from tears shed over their 19th child Josie stay in NICU....It broke my heart, I remember praying so hard for Michelle at that time...Many Blessing is my prayer for you....Stay safe

She is sweet💜 watching your mom on TV always reminded me that a soft answer turns away Wrath as the Bible says! Special mom u have.🙏💞

Thanks for sharing this loving and thoughtful tribute to your mom! She is such an inspiration!!

Jessa I really enjoyed your video on special childhood memories of your mom. I have always loved your mom and her soft-spoken voice, the love that was in every thing she said and did. I never saw her get angry at any of you kids. She was always respectful to you kids in all things. I have the deepest love and respect for your mom. Thank you for sharing your mom with us. 💕💕💕

A beautiful tribute to your Momma, Jessa! Also, such an encouragement to Mommas in the same season of life you are with your children. Keep sharing your love of Christ Jesus.

All the feels! What a tribute. I’ve been encouraged and learning from your mom and your family since I was a child. Now I’m encouraged by you as well, Jessa. Thank you for sharing this. Such inspiration!

Thank you for sharing the importance of moms seeing the “real ness” of the life of other moms. Thanks you for showing us your “lived” in home and not just the perfect looking home.

Precious words about your Mom. ♡ Thank you for sharing.

I love cold pizza Thank you for sharing this beautiful tribute about your Mom with us

Love your videos Jessa and being able to watch your kiddos grow. Thanks for letting us be apart of their lives through videos!

So so sweet!! This is such a great way to honor your momma!! She is truly a beautiful blessing! Wonderful momma and wife!! Jessa you are a wonderful beautiful momma too!!🎚❤️🌺😃🙏

Jessa, your mom is absolutely amazing! Millions of us are looking up to her and you! Thank you for everything❤❤❤

What a beautiful tribute to a wonderful woman🙏💕💕

What a beautiful testament about your Mom. You are blessed. Amen about women needing more about real life.

Beautifully said. I too had a mom that mirrored yours. We are so blessed.

You are so very blessed 🙏🏻 there are so many of us that didn’t have such an example, such love, patience, faith, honesty, forgiveness, unconditional love. I tried to take what I lacked in guidance, faith, love and bestow that to the best of my ability to my own kids. I fell short a lot of times but I am comforted knowing I was a better example. I wish I had been led to the Lord much, much sooner but I have him now and thankful I was able to find him through the haze, terror and pain. May God continue to bless you and your family 🙏🏻 Stay safe and healthy, in Jesus’s name I pray, Amen 🙏🏻 Love from California ❤️

Yes, your mom has definitely been influential in many peoples lives!

Your mom as always amazed me with her heart and faith, she inspires me not only as a mother but also a human being. You can see God in her heart, words, and actions. To know she was saved later in life just shows that it is never too late to ask God to make you new and live your life inspiring others. Lots of love and prayers❤️🙏🏼

I love your videos Jessa!! You and your family are such a light in this dark world. Thank you for showing Christ’s love through everything you do. 🤍

Jessa you are so precious. I see God really using you in the future.

Loving your videos, Jessa! You hv grown so much as a Mom & as a Wife. Naturally, when you were a young single girl, it seemed you were much more concerned on your looks, now you are showing a maturity & a grace that takes years of experience to grow into This is a great tribute to your Mom! 🌹

I love hearing you talk about your beautiful mother!

👍😄 beautifully said. Please keep on with your videos. I really love them. They're all well done ♥️.

I was hoping that you were going to do a video about your mom. You and Ben are amazing. Tell Ben that his dad has been awesome to work with in the auto business and his mom and siblings are all sweet as well. He should do one of these about them. They are both very inviting and inspiring as well.

These videos have been a wonderful testament to your parents. Well done!

Your Mama is a beautiful soul, an example to many, and I know how blessed her heart is by this video. Many blessings to all of you 💞

Jesse, What a beautiful tribute to your mom and dad! You gently point out that they weren't perfect but that they strive to do what the Bible teaches. I loved how you showed conviction, confession, compassion, and change when mom God brought it to her attention. I am loving your RU-vid channel and the variety of content! Keep up the good work.

These stories make me feel like a normal person/normal mom 😁 Thank you for sharing ❣️

U are so blessed to have such amazing parents , and U are an amazing wife and mother, I started watching your family on T.V back in 2009 when I had my first daughter I'm now a mum of 7 and have always loved all your mums parenting tips. Love from N.S.W Australia.

I don't think I've ever heard anything so beautiful!!!!! What a blessing and treasure this must be for your mom! Thank you for sharing!

Your Mom and Dad are an inspiration. This is a beautiful tribute. Jessa you are an amazing young women I have been so impressed with you.

Thank you, Jessa. I have gleaned so much advice from this vlog.

This is a very useful video Jessa, many of the things I wanted to know about how Michelle dealt with motherhood and kids were answered through you

Jessa your family is beautiful inside out....and a great example

Jessa you are so sweet, lovely and beautiful. You shine with the love of the Lord. Jessa you have such a joyful spirit. Much thanks for sharing this heartfelt tribute💕God Bless You and Your Sweet, Precious, and Wonderful Family So Much💖

Such a beautiful tribute to your mother. Thanks for sharing her Godly tips!

Your Mother is a great person, and so are her children.

I like this video because I grew up with not a very great mom and not a good example so it's good for me to hear about what a good mom acts like.

I truly enjoyed this video. I loved the way you described your mother and it moved me alot. Thank you for sharing this, I needed to hear this. Your mom is a great role model for new moms in this generation so please continue to share the ways she raised her kids. God bless you, Jessa.

This is beautiful! What wonderful memories!

When I had my first baby almost 9 years ago, I found out about your TV Shows and started buying the DVDs since we could not watch TLC here in Germany. Your mom has impressed me so much with her strength and parenting. Now pregnant with number 5 I still am so challanged by her example and strive to grow into a better mom. Thank you so much for taking the effort and sharing this here on YT!

Love the way you honored your mother.

Thank you for sharing. The love you express is so genuine.

Just beautiful! I’m sure your mom will be moved by what you said. Any mother would love to hear these things. God bless

Thank you Jessa!!! Thank you so much for sharing your mother's experiences with us. I feel like your mom you just described so naturally, just reminds me so much of the 19 kids show!! I have always "known " this about your mom...she's so very rich and beautiful in her heart and soul. Thanks for confirming what I have ALWAYS believed about her♥️🌼😊

Ivy is such a sweetheart!! Her eyes are so amazing! She looks a lot like Ben's sister Michelle! ❤

This is such a beautiful tribute to your precious mom, Jessa! Thank you for doing that. I have watched your mom in the series while raising my own little children and she was such a example to me. I really didn’t know how to raise kids for the Lord, because I had a bad example myself when I was a kid and your mom taught me so, so much. I still love your mom so much and hear her advise in my head sometimes while raising my own precious tribe 😊 Will you please thank her for me when you have the chance? She was really my Titus2 mentor when I needed it the most. Thanks to the Lord for all His amazing work He does in our hearts and lives. Love to watch your video’s Jessa, keep up the good work. Greetings from the Netherlands 🇳🇱

I have always admired your mom for all the wonderful attributes that you talked about. I love that you took the time to honor your parents this way. Thank you so much for this video. it’s so heartwarming to hear a daughter appreciate her mother like this, loved the memories !

It’s incredible to listen and I keep reminding myself that they did not have to have all those children, so she must have felt capable and I know the older kids helped and I suppose luckily there were lots of older girls to help after a while .., but still incredible!!
