Another fraught situation occurred whenJenny and Dave traveled to Congo during the adoption processfor their daughter Sylvie.

This post struck a chord with fans who detailed their own difficult flight experiences.

Jenny’s fear of heights began in young adulthood when she and Dave went skydiving.

“I remember waiting for my turn to jump,” Jenny recalled toKelly’s Kornerin 2016.

“I realized this was a really, really terrible idea.”

Although the experience in the air was terrifying, they were lucky.

“We eventually landed safely and I kissed the ground while sobbing uncontrollably,” Jenny concluded the tale.

“Ballet is a standing commitment that for some reason always seems to slip my mind.”

However, as Dave has explained in interviews, their kids' participation in the show is totally voluntary.

This wasn’t the only instance when Jenny candidly shared pictures that documented the untidiness that everyone experiences.

They prioritize having dinner together with their five children so they can connect with them.

Sometimes, however, Dave and Jenny find themselves talking about work even when they’d rather not.

“We’re sitting at dinner and Dave says, ‘Hey, did you get the light?’

And I say, ‘Oh, shoot.

Let me check,'” Jenny recounted toBetter Homes & Gardens.

In particular, she’s observed that she’s often dealing with a barrage of renovation-related inquiries.

“People need answers yesterday on everything.”

In some cases, they take one of their kids so that child gets a bit of extra attention.

Fellow moms identified strongly with Jenny’s emotions.

Now that she has five kids, she’s made many posts documenting the passage of time.

However, Jenny’s also taken time to acknowledge all the ways she’s enjoying her kids’ childhoods.

Talk about a juggling act that moms everywhere can relate to.
