The influencer shares with PEOPLE what went into this week’s DWTS episode, where she and partner Jan Ravnik will dance a jazz routine to “Friend Like Me” from Aladdin.

While Jen and Jan survived week 3, they had to bid farewell to Lauren Jauregui as she and pro dancer Brandon Armstrong were eliminated at the end of the action.
“Saying goodbye to Lauren last week was really hard. She’s incredibly talented, and that elimination proves that no one is secure from week to week,” Jen shares, along with a photo of her and Lauren, adding, “She and Brandon killed their dance!”
Winding Down

As one week’s work ended and she prepared for another’s to begin, Jen made sure to spend some quiet time with her youngest, Penelope.
“Snuggles with Penny are my favorite way to wind down after a live show,” she shares.
A Special Night for Zac!

Jen shared her appreciation for husband Zac’s constant support throughout this process by treating him to a night out in Las Vegas.
“Being able to take a few hours off from rehearsal and head to Vegas to treat Zac to a night of UFC was so fun! He’s being incredible with supporting me on this journey and helping make my dreams come true,” she writes.
“Being able to give him this night was so special!”
Double Date!

Joining the couple for the fun night out were their The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives castmates, Jordan and Jessi Ngatikaura.
“UFC got a little MomTok visit! Seeing Jessi and Jordan was so fun, and sitting ringside for the fight was an amazing experience!” Jen says.
Back to Business

As much as her breaks from work were fun, Jen’s got her eye on the prize and is taking practice and rehearsals seriously.
“It was a week of fun and games visiting Disneyland and UFC, but it’s back to the grind and learning this week’s jazz number,” she notes.
But There’s Always a Minute for Snuggles!

“More Penny snuggles! It’s crazy to think that she’s such a major part of my journey on DWTS and she’s not going to have one single memory of it!” the mom shares, though she points out it will make for fun trips down memory lane in the long run.
“All of her awareness of this whole thing will be going back through my camera roll in a few years and see the magic she was a part of!”

Jen feels she’s hitting her stride as she prepares to take the stage for this week’s competition.
“I’m excited for our fans to see what we’ve got this week!” she says.
