Yeah I think it was all family because they did family pictures too. Her parents practically live with them. Not sure if the other family is local and whatnot and if they also work from home like they do. I didn't judge that as harshly as I would a game night or something like that.

I don't know where they all live, but she said the photographer was because they hadn't all been together since Christmas.

And I judge the indoor dinner, because they have a big yard, fire pit etc for outdoor entertaining where they could have at least spread out and distanced themselves.

It annoys the shit out of me that they refer to this house as a cottage. Cottages are small. They don't have multiple offices, theater rooms, music rooms, walk in pantries, etc.

pugz, Besides the non-stop having guests, construction workers, family, etc over during a pandemic and following these workers to film for IG... They are still showing their ass. Julia absolutely refused to comment on BLM and George Floyd until a lot of her commentators called her out. Then she slapped up a crappy IG highlight with some ad links. You can google their name + racist and see the comments on their blog, reddit, etc. They used to post a lot about using covenant eyes when Chris worked outside of the house. He used to work in marketing for a company that "changes brain science in order to create healthy sexuality". That's really the tip of the iceberg. They are good at hiding but they have made a lot of comments over the years.

I don’t know who these people are, but in my 20 seconds of looking at their IG, the exterior of their house and the dining room are ugly as fuck.

[lo]

I think some aspects of the house are beautiful, but overall it feels gloomy to me. Zero coziness.

Swipe ups today for the fake tree in their bathroom...that thing costs $620.

She made absolutely no attempt beyond that whereas Sherry did more than her fair share to highlight Black and other POC businesses on her page. I'm not a fan of Sherry, but I now get my notebooks and soap from businesses that she posted.

What are covenant eyes? I googled and am just seeing software that monitors internet usage. Is it avoiding eye contact with women?

No, that's what I found, too. It seems like it's basically software to keep you from watching porn or accessing other unsavory websites. Which is very WTF for a grown ass man.

And was this work sanctioned or he did it on his own? So so weird. Guess trust isn't important to them.

I have no idea, I was just going based on what the poster I quoted said. It sounded like it was something Julia and he implemented as a couple.

When you don’t feel sympathy for someone when their house burns down, probably time to unfollow! Good choice

Ha. Legit LOL. Yeah...I needed to step away! If it was their main house I would have a totally different reaction! I promise!

sometimesrunner, I get where you are coming from!  My MIL completely lost her house a few years ago in a hurricane-  nothing was left and nothing was salvageable.  We have friends that have a vacation condo in the same town and were constantly posting on SM about how worried they were about their condo.  It annoyed me to no end!  To me there is a big difference with losing your main home and all your belongings vs a vacation home for sure!

I live in an area that a lot of Mormons seem to be moving to and porn seems to be a big “issue”. I know of other Mormon women who provide counseling to other women who’s husbands struggle with porn addictions.

Not sure if more Mormon men are addicted to porn than non-Mormon men?!?! I don’t really get it. I am guessing it’s more of an issue because it’s not deemed as acceptable behavior and therefore, more people are thought of as having “addictions”. Personally I can’t get past the no caffeine and alcohol thing. That’s what got me through 2020.

Covenant Eyes would be a good name for a band.

[pugz]

I am getting Covenant Eyes ads on FB now, thanks all, lol.

And it is very popular software for evangelicals and Mormons and other religious fundies as a way to have "accountability" for their internet usage. Literally you give the website the email address for your spouse, pastor, best friend, etc. so that they get a roundup of all the websites you visit on a daily basis. But many of these (mostly men) still find ways around it to get their porn fix. Sometimes using work computers even. "Oh honey I would never use work computer/work time to use porn/I can't install new software on that computer." Mmmhmm.

Not saying porn addiction isn't real and porn isn't problematic in some situations, but the amount of sexual repression folks in those groups experience as a result of purity culture fans the flames and makes it a big "problem" for them.

[yourmother]

Covenant Eyes sounds like some Handmaid's Tale bullshit.

This makes me think of watching Sense and Sensibility and they tell her step-son they will be moving to a cottage on her cousin's land. Then you see the "cottage" and it is a big three story house. lol

Coincidence that on the same day the YHL thread resurfaces, CLJ announces they are selling their house? Jk. But they really are selling their house! From the blog post, they're moving to a more temperate climate to help alleviate Julia's health issues.

Are they even done remodeling?  I don't follow them at all.

They're not finished remodeling.  I don't follow super closely, but they recently finished a big master bath renovation and their daughters' rooms.  She mentioned in the blog post that they are not going to do anything further with the kitchen, I think.  They have other projects that are ongoing right now too.

I believe she said they plan to list the house by the end of next month?
