Jana Duggar is sharing an update after her two-year hiatus from social media.
On June 30, the former 19 kids and counting star posted a four-minute video for her Youtube channel to reveal what she’s been up to over the past few months. In her video — titled “Life Update + Projects I’ve Been Working On” — the 34-year-old revealed that she’s been having fun working on a few projects on her Arkansas farm.
There was a lot of clearing and building, and even bidding for, literally, a “truckload” of sheep. A fence was built to keep the goats and sheep out of their garden, and “it looked beautiful.”
“I’m really pleased with how it all came together,” she said. “Not only is it doing the job of keeping the animals out, but it also creates this beautiful backdrop to the garden, and I think it completes the whole area. We decided to put an awning on the side of the shed just to give the animals a bit more shade. I absolutely love this time of year.”
Jana got emotional as she said that she “can see the flowers growing” and also the vegetables in her garden.
Jana’s video is her first significant life update since she returned to social media in May after a two-year hiatus. She returned to social media on May 9 with a short video of flowers, followed by a mother’s day post to honor her mother, Michelle Duggar. Prior to these posts, Jana had not posted on social media since March 9, 2022.
Suffice it to say, fans were happy to see Jana back on social media.
“I have no shame in saying that I clicked on this video INSTANTLY! So good to see you Jana!” commented one fan.
Another wrote: “I saw this video, it took my breath away, I watched it immediately, I liked it instantly, I hit the subscribe button, I immediately checked all the comments and I share the sentiment that you are welcome. Long time fan of the show. I have missed you all so much. I am a subscriber to Joy and she has sadly announced that she will no longer be posting weekly. I am so happy to watch your video!!! Take care girl, I am so happy.”
Jana took a break from social media in March 2022, just a few months after she settled down her case of endangering the welfare of a child out of court. As ET reported in January 2022, Jana pleaded guilty to the charges and was ordered to pay a fine.
Before settling her case out of court, Jana explained that the incident was a simple misunderstanding. Jana said she was babysitting “when one of the children wandered off on her own,” explaining, “A passerby who saw the child called the police. That resulted in a written citation, as well as a follow-up with child welfare who determined it was an accident, and the child was unharmed. They recognized it as a case of a child escaping from the house when your back was turned for a moment. It all happened so fast and it was scary.”
Michelle and Jim Bob Duggar’s eldest daughter was initially accused of the offense in September 2021, but her charges were only revealed months later in December, just one day after her brother, Josh Duggar was found guilty of receiving and possessing child pornography. He was sentenced more than 12 years in a federal prison.
