#TimTracker #Birthday #waldorfastoria
Its good to know that this is a universal feeling. My mom passed when she was 32 and I was 9. Being that young 32 seemed so old to me but when I turned 32 I realized how young 32 really is. I turned 33 in January and had the same feeling of "I made it". Thank you for being vulnerable and sharing, it helps to know I wasn't crazy feeling that way. Happy belated Birthday! Glad you enjoyed your stay!
Losing a parent so young must be heartbreaking. It's silly, but I felt young and terrified when was 29 and lost a parent. The strangest thing is that my fear of dying isn't about me, my husband is older than me and I frequently feel like we only have 10 years left together and that he is going to pass at the same age as my father. No matter how irrational it seems, I completely understand those feelings.
Cracking up that Tim thought you'd miss him because he's usually the one who checks in. 😂😂😂
Lolol that was funny
I laughed at that too.
What an absolutely awesome birthday celebration!!!!
I just loved this! From the cuteness of Jenn saying goodbye to Tim at the hotel, to seeing Jenn have some much needed alone time, to listening to Jenn talk about her mom. My heart goes out to you Jenn. I can’t imagine losing my mom that young. I totally get why you felt that way about thinking you may die at the same age. I had always been worried about having a hysterectomy because my mom almost died when she had one and I always thought the same would happen to me. It didn’t. And I’m so thankful you are passed that age now and can take a deep breath and realize that your moms journey is not yours. I’m so sorry you and your sister had to lose her so young. That seems so unfair. I love that you did this for yourself. Here’s to many more great years ahead. ❤
My mom died at 38 from cancer, and I was 10. I’m currently 27, and I COMPLETELY agree Jenn. I’m scared to reach 38. It’s not irrational at all. You did it, and you’ve shown me that I can make it to 39. You deserve the absolute best. Happy belated birthday!! Love you guys ❤❤❤
Funny you say that too... my dad passed when he was 42 (I was 20). I was so terrified to reach 42. Idk, like I had this weird sense of foreboding, like I'd have something tragic happen that year too? It's such a strange feeling.
My mom passed away at age 56 from leaukemia when I was 24. Her mother passed away at age 50. So, I remember feeling odd as my 50th and 56th birthday approached, then flew by. I'm 65 now. But I completely understand those feelings. So glad you spent your birthday taking care of YOU! Much deserved.
We just adore you, Jen! Happy 40th! We're happy you're here too :) My Dad passed away when he was 37 and when I passed 37 it was so hard for me to wrap my head around. That I lived a longer life than my father. It's so cliche but it makes me want to live my life to the fullest every day!
Happy 40th Jenn 🎉
You did an outstanding job on this video as a solo Vlogger …
You being emotional is a great example to others , grief is hard for everyone…🙏🏼
Nothing is irrational when it comes to grief!!! ❤ thank-you for always being so open and vulnerable, it truly helps a lot of people. Happy 40th, you deserved the relaxation… makes me contemplate it for my 40th in FEBRUARY. 🎉
What a fabulous 40th birthday... I'm very grateful you made it too! Don't ever apologize for being emotional, you share your heart... it means a lot.
Grateful and happy you made it too ❤ thank you for being authentically you
You were busy thanking all of us for coming along, BUT THANK YOU! I hope you had the best birthday ever. I am so proud of how far you and Tim have come. Y'all are the bomb!
I'll be turning 32 in less than a month and I think you inspired me to book a nice hotel and spend my birthday just chilling and doing all the spa treatments
My dad passed at 44. I was 15. I recently just started thinking the same thoughts you experienced. No one would ever think those thoughts could feel so scary.
Whoa, Remember those old home vlogs that were solo Jenn making cold waffles, pizza eggs, and mowing the yard and then Tim would pop in at the end after work to close out the video with a disheveled mustache, ready to pass out. Reminds me of that! Comin’ in hot with the old school content lately.
From my whole family, Happy Birthday, Jenn!
I’ll join you both in the 40s next week.
Happy early birthday!!
@@evalynn1863thank you so much!!
Tim was so behind all of this being the best 2 days ever! He's a definite keeper❤
Love this, reminded me of old Tracker videos when you would vlog your day while Tim was at work 😊Love this for you! What every mommy needs ❤
So sorry you've had to live with that fear for your whole life. Totally understandable. What a great way to spend this birthday for you! And we pray for many more!
Also thank you for talking about parental grief. Your videos have helped me through the loss of my father the last 5 years. I appreciate you sharing your journey with grief too. ❤
Happy happy birthday Jenn!! I’m so excited for your birthday vlog!! You’re such a great mom & wife and I am glad you’re getting to do fun things on your birthday!! No one realizes until (and if) they have kids (especially two little ones) AND work full-time from home, how actually hard and draining it can be. And you do both wonderfully!! Thank you for sharing your lives, the good, the bad, and in-between and always being so kind and genuine. I hope you had an amazing day 🎉🎂🥳🎈🎁❤❤❤
As someone who lost my own Mom this year, I appreciate how real and true to your emotions you were. I relate to them as well. Cheers to you making it to 40! I also love all your videos and used to share them with my Mom all the time. Now I share them with my sister and friends ❤
Happy Birthday Jenn! ❤️✨
This is probably the best birthday gift any mother/wife could receive! Now I have an idea for my bday 🤩🤩🤩
So glad you had this time!! As a momma, we have to take time for ourselves so we can be the best for them. And your feelings are so normal. My best friend’s mom died at age 36. I remember her feeling like she was going to die that year. She’s 52 now. Hope that helps. 😊
Jenn, thank you for sharing how you were feeling during your 39th year. That must have been a hard burden to carry. So glad you were able to celebrate your 40th year! As someone who’s had the privilege of witnessing your life for the last few years, I’m grateful you were born!❤
Jen! I can’t tell you how happy I am that you took this time for yourself! Solo trips are LIFE changing….. and while you miss your husband and miss your kids… it’s so nice to have time to reflect….
I did a solo trip when I quit my full time nursing job, I went to Alaska and I truly found myself again! Happy Birthday lady!!!
When I saw the title of this, I was so excited for you! These kinds of staycations are SO lovely ❤
Jenn sharing about losing your loss was so brave. I wanted to give you a hug. I appreciate you ☺️. 🍾🍸 wishing you a king happy life ahead. ❤
Losing your loss?
Heck yeah!! I love solo trips!! Congrats on this mile stone!!🥳🍾🎁🎊🎉🍹
I just got back from my first solo trip to Europe for my 30th! Best experience EVER! Happy birthday Jen!
Happy Birthday, Jenn! You’re such a light in this world, and your vulnerable moments always make me admire you more. Sending you love and looking forward to seeing your adventures for many more years to come! 🎉
HAPPY LATE BIRTHDAY JENN!! 🎉 Your thoughts on your loss are so valid and I wanted to hug you, you're so strong and I bet you're the best big sister. Sending hugs all around, you thank us for watching but we thank you for being so kind and genuine ❤
Jen we are so happy you’re still here with us as well! You guys are wonderful people! Don’t think for one second you have to apologize for being emotional. I totally get it. Thank you for sharing with us❤️
Well this was a lovely treat of a video!! Reminded me of way back when you would vlog while Tim worked. It was so great to spend the hour with you. I’m so glad you got your wish for your bday. Sometimes you just need a little me time. You never have to apologize for how you feel. I’ve heard from others they had the same worry when their parent died young. I’m glad that worry is over for you now. I can’t believe how much you filmed for us, that was kind of you. This video was so wonderful, thank you and Happy Birthday to my favorite internet friend… as always… looking forward to whatever happens next!!! 🧡🖤🧡
I really appreciate when you open up about your feelings and fears and all of your thoughts really. These past couple of years I've been in a similar but different sort of situation. I had a rough upbringing and didn't much want to be here for the first 28 years of my life. Found out a big reason for that was because of an issue that required me to get part of my skull and brain removed. I'm 8 weeks away from my 32nd birthday, alive, wanting to be alive, and in awe that I made it this far. By far, 30 was the wildest birthday to hit, but every one since surgery has been bittersweet and emotional. Happy Birthday, Jenn. May you have many more, and may each be the best you've ever had.
The more I watch your videos the more I see what a genuine, humble and kind human you are. You deserved this mama/bday getaway!!! So glad you had a wonderful time and looking forward to watching the next video. Stay you sis ❤️
I laughed so hard at this. Jen has achieved what all moms want. Rest and relaxation.
First Happy Solar Return Jen. This was a pleasure to watch. So sweet and heart felt the whole way through. Looks like you had a great time. You deserved it. From what I can see you are a great mom.
So happy you spent your Birthday the way you wanted. I took my first vacation by myself in 2022. I drove from Delaware to Florida and had a few days camping in a friends camper and a few days at Disney. Staying on Disney property all by myself was the BEST thing ever. I think it’s time for me to do this again. Those fireworks were amazing from your balcony.
So thrilled that you got to do this for your 40th, Jenn! You deserve it! ❤️
Awww, Jen, don't ever feel bad about how you are feeling. Thank you for sharing your experience, and happy 40th, love watching you and your family vloggs ❤
HAPPY 40TH BIRTHDAY LADY!!❤
Happy birthday, Jen! You are not alone in thinking about the possibility of passing away at the same age as your mother. I have had similar thoughts. But the important thing is to live every day as if it is your last day, because none of us can know when the last day will be. Never take life for granted. Each day is a gift. Thanks for sharing your special birthday staycation with us!
Jenn, you deserve it all. Happy 40th! Virtual hugs to you. 💕
Love, love, love that you got this special time to relax and rejuvenate. Happy happy birthday! You did it!!!
What a strong emotionally aware lady. I loved this vlog. Well done for showing mums and women in general that filling our own cup is so important for us. Everybody around us benefits too. Tim's sad lip when you left was so cute, that's me and my husband too but those short stints away are great reminders of what we are grateful for and absence makes the heart grow fonder ❤
As someone else who lost my mom when I was young (19), I really appreciate your transparency about your grief. So happy you had such a wonderful birthday 💕
Thank you so much for talking about your grief and the constant concern regarding mortality that those of us experience when our parents die young.
Happy birthday Jen! 🥳 Thank you for sharing your feelings - hugs to you!! I think you are the brilliant secret sauce ✨ that has made your channel so successful. You so deserve a solo staycation and I am so happy you enjoyed it! 🎉
This is awesome. What a great gift! I've asked for sleep and relaxation every year for the past 14 years. Being a mom is draining.
happy birthday, jenn! my mom passed in 2020 and i found you and tim around that time as well and you both were definitely a big reason i got through that tough period. so thank you for being a little bit of brightness during a dark time! whenever you mention your mom and your feelings towards her passing i've always related so much to it! especially as someone who lost their mom at 25. so thank you, truly for being vulnerable when it comes to that. it really does help people who have been through something similar in my opinion. it makes me feel like i'm not alone or crazy for those feelings. i hope you had the best staycation ever and heres to many more years of health and happiness! 🎉🫶🏼
Happy birthday!!! Has to be from Tim - About 3 cupcakes!
I’m sending you warm hugs and love. Thank you for opening up a bit about grief and your journey through that. My best friend of nearly 20 years lost both of her parents to cancer, her father in 2015 and her mom in 2019. I don’t pretend to understand the grief she’s experienced, but I’ve watched her grow and change through both events. She is an incredibly resilient woman who has come in to her own as a wife, a mom, and a woman. I always think her parents would be so proud of who she’s become. I truly believe our loved ones who cherished and loved us and who have passed on cheer us on in spirit as we live our lives. ❤
Happy birthday, Jenn! I’m so happy that you were able to have this staycation. Thank you for being vulnerable and sharing something so personal with us.
You do deserve actual time off, don’t ever think other wise, to unplug , recharge and relax is a true gift that few of us get to enjoy. Hope that you were able to make peace with your mortality and your mom’s passing so young. I watched my mom go through something very similar and it’s heartbreaking to think that we as daughters feel that our mom’s path and footsteps are ours as well. Go get a full physical to put yourself at ease and make a plan for a happier and healthier Jen. Love watching this channel, you do invite us in on a more personal level .
Parent death anniversaries are rough. My mom died of cancer when she was 38 years old. I was 18 months. I didn’t remember her and never grieved (that I can remember) until my first child turned 18 months old. Holy cow. That was rough. I imagined how he would feel if I were gone. I felt grief for my mom for the first time (that I can remember). He’s now pushing 30, has three wonderful boys and I’m still here. Super grateful for my life. Thanks for sharing your life with us. You are amazinng.
What an amazing way to spend your birthday! So well deserved. Everytime you were mentioning what you were doing or going to do I felt so excited for you ❤. Having some "me time" is always awesome to do once in a while. Just a perfect little getaway. Fantastic 40th birthday! Huge hugs and love to you guys xoxo
I totally understand you're feeling with your mom. My dad passed when he was 34 (I was 4) and now I'm turning 30 in February and it feels surreal that in just a few short years I'll be older than he was.
It feels wrong to reach an age that is older than your parent.
I can 100% tell you though that your mom would be so extremely proud of you!!
Awww, Jenn. Obviously I don’t know you personally, but I feel like you’re a friend from how much time I spend with you through y’all’s channel, if that makes any sense. I totally hear where you’re coming from, and I can’t imagine how hard that must have been. Happy 40th-you are such a loving and beautiful person, inside and out, and I feel blessed to be able to share part of life with you! I’m so glad you’re here on this Earth! I hope I get to tell you this in person someday (apparently in 2022 I missed Tim at Disney Springs by a couple hours), but thank you for the joy you, your family, and your channel have brought into my life. The last couple of years have been pretty rough for me, and having your videos to watch when I lived by myself out of state for a job in 22 made me feel so much less alone. It will always mean the world to me, and I don’t feel like I can thank you enough. Love you guys! ❤
My mom died when she was 59. When I became 59 I felt like you. I thought it was all over. I am now 73 and still kicking! Hang in there sweetie!
I love this for you! You are living every mama’s dream right now! ❤ enjoy your sleep!
Happy Birthday beauty! This is so important to do, take some time and take care of yourself! Such a wonderful idea❤
My mom passed away when she was 35 , I was 13 at the time. Then my dad passed when he was 36 & I was 16. I’m now 33 years old and feel as if the same thing will happen to me. It weighs so heavy on my heart every single day. I have 3 wonderful children and I try to spend as much time as possible cherishing them so they feel a lifetime of love ❤️
Happy birthday Jenn ❤
Crazy how u can feel so much towards people you’ve never met❤
happy birthday jenn!!! it feels so good to have watched your family expand over these last few years, and i hope the rest of them are just as pleasant.
Tim written all over it!! He loves you woman!!! HAPPY birthday beautiful 😍
Jenn, you are not alone regarding losing a parent when the parent was still young. My father passed from a massive heart attack 2 days after his 50th birthday. Also his father passed at 52 from a massive heart attack. As I approached 50 I also was concerned about passing early. I even went for testing on my heart. I was able to talk with my Mom about this feeling and she said she went through the same thing as she approached the age her Mother was when she passed. You are not alone in this. Thank you for sharing, as it let's others know they are not alone.
happy 40th, Jenn! thank you for being vulnerable with us. i’m glad you had a great time and was able to relax ❤
Happy Birthday Jenn! I understand the feeling of passing the age that your Mom never got to be. I was 28 when my Mom suddenly passed at 58. So 58 was a very rough year for me. My brother passed when he was 50 so I think of my Mom and Brother with every year that I am given and don't take each year for granted. I am 61 years old now by the way. Enjoy your kiddos!
My Mom also passed away at 58 and that is the age I am now. It hit me hard to think about what was happening in her life at this age.
This relieves my Mom guilt about wanting to do this same thing for my upcoming big birthday ❤
Aww Jen I so want to hug you! IT'S NOT irrational at all! My father passed at 43, I was 19. I'm now 55 and the year I turned 43 I felt the same way, all year "am I gonna make it?" I still to this day think to myself sometimes "I lived longer than my father, how was that possible" Live your life as best you can as I have, knowing that the life they didn't get to live we get to because of them. Lighter note, so happy for your celebration.
Oh Jenn!!! I wanted to give you a HUGE hug! You are beautiful inside and out and I'm so thankful that you're still around. Thanks for letting all of us (me) into your life.
Jenn - so beautiful to share. My mom’s mother passed away at 50 - and she felt the same way about being 49. My mother lived until her late 80’s. So glad you enjoyed! ❤
Happy Birthday, Jenn!
First, I am so glad that you vlogged this.
Second, good for you Jenn for asking for something for yourself for your birthday. You absolutely deserved it and I hope you enjoyed every second of it.
Finally, thanks to Tim for supporting Jenn’s needs. This is such an awesome relationship to see and thank you both for letting us all be a part of it!
Bless you on this 40th year, Jenn. Thank you for sharing yourself so openly. May you enjoy many more happy, healthy years with your boys (including the adult one!)
Jenn, we love you so much and we’re happy you’re here too. I’m sorry you didn’t get to spend time with your mom as an adult.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY, JENN!
Glad you enjoyed your getaway for your birthday. You deserved this because you are a hard working mama! You inspired me to do something similar as a working mom of a 4 year old and 1 year old. Thanks for being real with us and sharing your feelings. We ❤you!
Aw Jen, thanks for sharing your journey with us, life is surely painful sometimes, Happy 40th! and you deserve all the good things!
Happy belated birthday, Jenn! I turn 40 in March, and I’m actually very excited about it. I’m happily single and childless, BUT I still love living vicariously through you and your familial adventures. You are lovely, fun, nerdy, kind, and open-hearted, and it’s easy to imagine being friends with you. Thanks for sharing your experiences with us!
Happy Birthday Jen! Thank you for sharing your day with us.
When you spoke about your mom, I cried. I completely understand. My mom died giving birth to me, she was 19. When I had my first child, I thought I was going to die giving birth, I just turned 20. It's scary and emotional.
Sending hugs. My mum passed away last year just under 2 months before my 40th birthday. I miss her so much. She loved watching you and Tim. And she loved disney.she was only 64 .
I then lost my brother less than 4 months after that. On 3rd January this year. Both died due to illness he was only 37.
Jenn...watching you and Tim build this life and family has been a pleasure. I also turned 40 this year...I lost a cousin at the age of 37 (we are 2 months apart) and every birthday since I've seen as a gift. Thank you both for sharing your love, your joy, your adventures, and your family.
Jen, you’re such a sweet soul. You had me emotional talking about your Mom and her early passing. I’m sure you’ll be around for decades and one day sharing all the good memories with your grandchildren. Happy Birthday, that was a wonderful present Tim got you. You’re both great parents. Take care of each other. ❤️
Jenn, this video meant a lot to me. My dad passed when he was 50, I was 19. I’m about to turn 25 and I’ve been having feelings about being 25 and feeling like it’s my “midlife crisis” even though I’m so young. It’s really relieving to know that other people are affected by death in this way. Sending love 💗
Same same sis my dad passed when I was 15 and turning 30 was an emotional rollercoaster
So happy for you to have this time for yourself, you so deserve it. We were watching talking about how perfect this was for your birthday. Happy Birthday Jenn!
I'm literally crying happy tears for you. What a wonderful gift! So many moms need this in their lives. I hope this video helps continue the normalization of self-care for moms!
Happy birthday and welcome to the 40+Club
Yay! Happy birthday jenn!
Jen. Thank you so much for sharing your 40th with us. I’ve been watching since way before you had your children and just feel,like I know you so much better now. You are an incredible mother and wife and a beautiful woman with a great soul and married to the greatest guy. Tim is devastatingly handsome and such a great father too. Bravo
Aw Jenn sending you a virtual hug, you’re a wonderful person and deserve the best life has to offer. Enjoy your happy 40th!
Happy birthday, Jenn. As a mom of 2 young boys myself, this looks like a dream come true. Enjoy!
Happy birthday 🎁 Jen!
So glad you were able to relax 🎉
Super proud you took care of you ! Very hard for parents to leave the babies. 👶
Thank you for sharing your personal grief story - makes it so great you took time to rest process and celebrate 🎉
Special shout out to Tim - amazing you took over the home front for that long … knowing the crazy schedule you would endure!
Thanks for loving on your wife so!
Keep up the great work Trackers ❤
Jenn...bless your heart! I somehow missed that your mom passed so young! l am so very proud of your for not only facing your worst fear but for putting yourself out of your family comfort zone to experience it alone. You should be so proud of yourself!
We love you Jen! Happy birthday glad you had an amazing time. You deserve it you are such an amazing human, wife, mom, and friend 🤍
Happy birthdayJen! Most of us who have lost a parent can relate to experiencing fear and grief on the birthday where you are the same age as when they passed away. Just know your mom is smiling down on you and your beautiful family and sharing your joy
Sounds like a DREAMM!!! So happy you took this trip and happy belated birthday ❤🎉
Happy Birthday Jen! You are amazing and thankful you share your special time with us
Hi jenn, just wanted to say thank you for opening up about your mental health and your fears. I share the same fear myself. I lost my mum to breast cancer when i was 21, my sister was 8. She was diagnosed at 39 and passed at 41. Im 36 now, with 3 kiddos and the closer im getting to those milestone ages of my mum's i have these irrational fears/nightmares about what my future holds. Its comforting to know im not alone in those fears, and so happy to see you overcome that moment in your life. I loved this video, was lovely to see you take some selfcare time! ❤ xx
Happy BIG 40th birthday
I was born in November 1984 - I’ll be 40 years old, next year
Happy birthday!! This was amazing!!
Happy Belated birthday Jen, you look so happy and beautiful. I have been watching your channel since 2015, you are definitely a role model to me. Thank you for sharing your personal life, I know it has to be hard sometimes to share something so personal, but it definitely helps others going through the same things, losing a mother so young is so hard.
Happy birthday Jenn. Ive been dreading approaching 40 and I'm finding it super hard and this video has helped me look forward to it. I dont have lots of friends and thought id have to just let it pass by uncelebrated as i was embarrassed but this has made me see i can still celebrate
