“Prior to my life changing experience”. My god. She would probably kill herself if she had to live my life. I say that because I’m tough as nails but this year has been pretty bleak for even me. More than once I’ve questioned whether I was actually needed by those I’ve devoted my life to since they’ve all managed to make me feel pretty damn useless lately. Like does anyone else throat punch their husband when he complains about the hot meal they’ve fixed? Just me? I officially hate her. My Ex wasn’t stupid enough to complain about a home cooked meal, even at the end while he was just trying to divorce me he wouldn’t dare. He somehow knew without saying that I’d just stop cooking for him if he did. And I would have. And if he didn’t have a clue before he should have had a clue the last 4 years of our marriage because once I went back to work I immediately stopped doing anything that he complained about. Literally. Not dusted properly- done not dusting anymore. I didn’t say anything I just stopped. After about the 3rd thing he got the hint. Then his complaints were more general so as not to risk something else. I was pretty much down to grocery shopping, cooking, laundry & cleaning the bathrooms by the time he left. Lol I hope you can resolve your issues and have a better rest of the year. Hugs. |

I’m still trying to figure out what was so stressful about her business life?! It’s not like she needed the income and the house would go into foreclosure if she failed. She treated it more like a fun project where she got to play office with her besties. That of course is a sure way to send your business off the rails, which she did. Now she can pretend she’s had to “give it up” due to the stress and anxiety of her work, work, #girlboss life, instead of facing the reality that she tanked her business because she had no clue how to run one. No kidding you are so on point! I comment once in a while on FB when she does a ridiculous post like she did today and of course I get attacked LOL. It's almost comical how her followers believe her excuses for why her business is in the shape it's in. But as long as she gets some attention she seems happy to just let it all go. |

Men are stupid that way they don't seem to know when to shut their mouths or how to read their SO. Mine still has not figured put that the moment you talk to me like I'm a 6 yr old or accuse me of lying that you can expect the silent treatment, and I will not do a thing around the house. |

You are valued by many - even on this silly old scrapping board. |

julie5 Hugs, my friend. You don't deserve feeling/being left feeling this way. Obviously, it's not Becky's fault what's happening to you but yes, I agree, she's out of touch. It's a shame because Project Life touched the life of many crafters, scrapbookers and documenters, far beyond her small privileged bubble (and that's what made her all that money). It was the gateway to documenting and scrapbooking for quite a few of us. It *is* annoying to see her complain about her extremely first world non problems. I can't hate her for having being raised in cotton wool with a hefty silver spoon up her derrière. But I do find her insufferable and in major need of a proper PR person (preferably from outside her rich wasp Mormon circle).

Awww thank guys! I wasn’t trying to fish for sympathy, just been a rough one with the teenager, the “kidult” who knows “everything”, the husband who bitches about stupid crap and yes I did call him out a few times about complaining about his meals and told him he could f*cking starve just like the kids when they don’t like what I’m making. You bet your @$$ he got the point.

Here’s what bothers me about this- when I have debilitating mental health problems (which I know I’m not alone in saying includes hospitalizations, years of therapy and enough meds to fill a small pharmacy) I don’t get to take a break. I don’t get to go to a retreat/spa in southern Utah. I don’t get to step away from my daily work. I don’t get to check out and not be held accountable to anyone. I, like everyone I know, have to keep going because the bills have to be paid, the kids need caring for and I can’t afford to lose my job. I’m sick of BH wanting to be congratulated for her privilege and the chorus of sycophants acting like her navel gazing is the most insightful thing they’ve ever heard rather than a recycled catch phrase from a cheap Hobby Lobby poster.

And you didn’t make besties with the spa owner and have her and her family to your house and then start stalking her. It actually makes me question the validity of the wellness place because it seems like it crosses the line. But it all seems normal to Becky Higgins because she had one anxiety attack brought on by her own behavior. Let’s not forget that Becky Higgins was a bitch that started this on National Scrapbook Day. P.S. I use full names so it’s searchable and may trigger google alerts. |

Many hugs to you for being a real hero. Unlike Becky Higgins, who only plays one on Instagram. |

You bet your @$$ he got the point. Completely understand, I have three teen boys and two small girls. My youngest boy who is school driven one is going thru some stuff right now and it’s killing me. He would be the last one I would suspect anything with. Hang in there is what I keep telling myself, everything works itself out. |

This 100 percent. People have health issues, mental health issues and other things that they are struggling with and we can not check out of real life but Becky deserves an award because she choose to because she is privileged. |

Tracie is going to run out of Chapstick if she’s not careful. When you think about it though they have a lot in common. Both of them are ex-scrappers still promoting scrapbooking to make money. Neither can take criticism and delete posts that hit too close to home. They both want attention and affirmation of love from their fans—Becky with her ‘poor little me’ posts of stress and breakdowns and Tracie dropping veiled hints that she could use some financial help with her medical bills. What a pair.

And our friend Tracie was also hand-slapping the person who made a comment about BH's bathing suit post with her dd. I think the comment addressed modesty.
The sanctimonious-ness (I just made that word up just now) is real with that one.
She truly annoys me each time she posts, I really need to not be so bothered by her lol.

"this is an inappropriate comment for a public forum. It’s something you might wonder about, but it’s in poor taste to question Becky on this on her social media. If you were personal friends with her, you might have the opportunity to ask her privately but you don’t ask someone you don’t know, a question like this. It puts them in a very awkward situation. We all have our own beliefs about modesty and what is correct and what is not. Obviously, she is okay with posting herself in a swimsuit so that answers your question right there." |

Thanks for finding that, I was between meetings and forgot to go look for it later.😁 And nope, she's never ever going to learn. |

and it appears that tracie and the handslappers didn’t understand the question. From my POV the lady was asking how to wear swim suits like that and still wear their religious garments because Becky has stated her garments are special or whatever. Not every Mormon follows the garment rules and those that do want to wear a cute swim suit like that and still observe their garments. So I think that is what the lady was asking about. So that makes TracieClaiborne look even stupider if that’s even possible. |

If you follow Wendy, Kari and Toni you will see they have been supporting each other and at each other’s events recently.
Guess who’s always missing? Becky squared. I find that interesting. Apparently the Beckies only feel “prompted/called/counseled” to each other.

This may be a dumb question but I noticed today that Ali Edwards has project life noted with a copyright in the description of her YouTube video. Does this have to do with Becky’s company, does she pay Becky Higgins to use the name for her products?

I've never met a Mormon who tries to pull off that and if there is one, other members would consider it very weird! They do consider bikinis immodest. Two pieces like tankinis are okay to wear. |

I've never met a Mormon who tries to pull off that and if there is one, other members would consider it very weird! They do consider bikinis immodest. Two pieces like tankinis are okay to wear. I have a friend (I use that term loosely these days) whose husband is ordained as a pastor in their church (pentacostal...basically I look at them like mini Duggars) and when I invited them over for a swim, she told me her husband couldn't swim in the same water as my family because of his status as a pastor...he would only be allowed to swim in the same pool as family members. Same friend tried to cover her 'request for modesty' after I declined a birthday invitation because I told her that I wasn't going to require my kids to wear clothing over their swim attire as I believed that would plant a seed of people trying to make them feel shameful over their bodies (she later tried to backtrack and say it was to protect their skin from the plastic on the blow up water slide...basically a bounce house but with water involved, but that explanation did not provide any sort of reasoning for her choice words).
The 'rules' in religion are definitely something I can understand people being curious about. I mean, if you can't wear clothing that exposes xyz body parts, then why is there an exception for swimwear which is more fitted than a tanktop or shorts would be? It's all very strange to me. If a rule isn't a rule all the time, then it's not really a rule then is it? It's more like a suggestion.
