I had my children and I was looking into adopting but it’s way too expensive especially with the children I have now. It made me really realize that I cannot afford anymore kids.
@@ALLISONBICKERSTAFF Yes Allison. I'm agree with you. In the life we can meeting soo bad, negative and aggressive people but it's don't mean that life is bad. I consider so.
This was like catching up with a friend over coffee literally! Thanks for sharing and being vulnerable about your experiences. Love that your hearts are open to a adoption and the story about the vegan shorts haha. How your mom supported you is everything!! So blessed. 💕’s to you, B, and Palmer!
listening to you open up about these topics makes me feel so much better about my pending life choices. in this season of change, it REALLY helps to hear your positive words 💖
I already know a video from Allison is going to be so cozy & relaxing 💛 She puts so much time into her videos & it shows! You are by far my favorite RUclipsr 🌸 Love long videos!
I love when you said about having kids in pairs. I am one of eight kids and my mom (unintentionally) had us in sets of two. Everyone has a buddy around their age and it's so fun, especially as we get older. We are currently ages 27 & 25, 18 & 16, 12 & 10, 8 & 8 (twins :) )
I relate so much to the friendship part, I have also always been really independent and have always thought there’s something wrong with me for not needing to interact with my friends all the time. So happy to hear it’s not just me! Thanks for being such an inspiration 💗🌹💕
Allison, you don’t know how much joy your videos and feedback give. You are such an inspiration to all. I wish you, B, and Palmer all the love and joy in the world. ☺️🥰🐕🦺
Thank you for acknowledging the Disney layoffs/furloughs. So many people I care about were negatively affected, but I’m still a huge Disney fan. It’s bittersweet, but I’m glad I’m not alone in that sentiment.
i love that you guys are thinking about fostering or adopting kids, that’s truly amazing, and there are so many children in need who would be so thankful to have parents like you and Brandon
I really resonated with your comments around friendships and not having expectations. I really appreciate independence in friendships and feel I have healthy friendships because of these reasons. Love your videos and vibe :)
My husband and I were married for 5 years before we had our baby! No need to rush 💙 we loved our time as a couple before our little girl was born, and now we are looking forward to showing her all of our favorite things (including Disney) as a little family!!
I am an only child too, and I totally relate on the independent aspect in friendships, Its refreshing to hear this from someone else who is similar 💛 Love your videos by the way!
I am born and raised in Canada. Hubby and i and our 2 baby girls who are 1 and 2 years old, sold our condo and took a vacation to Greece in 2020 just right before the pandamic hit. We decided to stay and live here. The way things are right now in bigger cities around the world its so much better living in Greece. We are extremly lucky and grateful even still being in a lockdown the weather is better here less people. So lucky my hubby is a greek citizen and we have his family here. Much love from Greece xoxo
My hubby and I waited 10 years before having our first baby and I don’t regret it one bit. We have so many precious memories and it made our daughter (and eventually a son) arrivals so much sweeter.
Wow that last piece of advice really hit home for me! I feel like I'm having less friends now that I am growing throughout the years and moving to different life stages / physical places etc. Thank you for sharing!
Thank you for all of the advice:) I've definitely struggled to figure out what my (girl) friendships are outside of my relationship and how to make time for others but everything you said was totally on point! Plus I moved to another state so keeping in touch with my best friends all the time is not my priority and I probably talk to them a few times a month and occasionally see them! I love them so much but life changes definitely changes what friendship looks like!
I loved what you said about not expecting other people to behave in the same way you would in a situation; it’s a good reminder! I have to try to stop imagining what other people are thinking and give people the benefit of the doubt more 😊💕
Makes me want an iced coffee☕. Your so kind whenever you interact with your subscribers Allison, you will make a wonderful mother to your future children💛✨!
You are so right to wait. My daughter waited till 34 to have kids. Her and husband traveled. She teaches and writes books amd wanted to be more ready to be a parent. I think it was a good choice. She is a great mom. I had mine to quick and did not get to have that season before my kids came.enjoy your life and wait until you are really ready.😍😍😍
Thank you so so much for talking about mindset. It is always so important to remind us that our mind is powerful. You are powerful, Allison. Thank you for this!
I just love how open you are with your faith! It's all so true and staying in the Word and talking to God about those thoughts and feelings really help! You guys are smart in holding off having kids until your 100% ready! Enjoy your time alone, there's plenty of time for kids, you both are so young! You are very grounded, responsible and smart Allison!
I think it’s totally fine to take a trip! I never stopped traveling in 2020, I flew on a plane in June, November, and December. Never got COVID and did it safely. There’s ways to do it!
when you were talking about travel, my family went on trips last fall and have some coming up soon, but we drove everywhere, we stayed in cabins with our kitchen to cook and so we could clean everything and we went to nature spots where we could be outside and distance. We also went to some more unpopular places and some off season places. We have had nothing but success with that, and it is super fun to explore some stuff a bit more local that you normally do not since its in your state! I do not know if that will give you any ideas. Florida is such a big diverse state, so Im sure there are places you could drive and stay at for a few nights In a cabin safely and make some memories!
I didn't realize you worked for Disney! That's amazing! I actually did the Disney College Program in Fall 2019 and extended into Spring 2020 before the pandemic hit. I was a character attendant, and can honestly agree with you when you mention that most people who work for Disney absolutely love Disney :) Love love love your vlogs and your openness
Wow the idea that everyone has different friendship needs really hit me hard. I feel like I'm also a very independent friend, and you saying that made me feel like I'm not the only one! Thanks for the video
I always said that life if personal. It's what you want it to be. And if you're happy, and that's what is important. Building a strong relationship takes a lot of work. And communication is the key. And love is a beautiful thing. A relationship is something you don't take for granted. It's precious and delicate. Trusting and honesty is very important. And I wish you many, many years of love and happiness together . And healthy babies! Give a kiss to your sweet puppy 🐶.
This was such a great video, you really explained yourself well. You actually brought me to tears when you spoke about insecurities. I felt like God was speaking to me through you. 💕
I agree soak up the time with you, Brandon, and Palmer. I have a one year old, and she is fun but a lot of work. Palmer is very handsome! I hope you have a great week!
Loved this chat! I definitely related to the part about friendships. I think that's an important part of growing up, owning those parts of yourself that make you, you! ❤️
We got pregnant “accidentally”. We are so blessed that we were able to get pregnant so fast but woah it was a shock lol. I’ve known for 20 days and idk when it will feel real. Hearing you talk about enjoying your life pre babies has me a little stressed but I know everything happens for a reason! Same will go for y’all! ❤️
Allison, I loved the relaxed vibe of this vlog. Your thoughts are super relatable, and it's cool to hear about your journey with Disney. Only children are cool 😉✨💛
Got my cold brew coffee and watching my favorite girl..love love all your videos and content..you never disappoint..love Brandon's smile when you bring him an iced coffee..so sweet..When it's your time or God's time when you have children they truly will be blessed and lucky to have you both as parents...❤️❤️❤️
Thank you for SO much for this video Allison!! I have really been in a funk lately and you really made my day. It was so nice to have a more intimate conversion in your Q&A today and it’s crazy to feel like your a real friend even through this platform. Have a lovely day💗💗
Yes I love Q & A’s! I’m in my mid 20s and so many of my family members have been asking when am I going to have kids. But honestly it’s going to be a while for that. Of course I’d love to have kids, but like you said your whole lifestyle changes, you have to adjust for your baby’s needs. It’s a whole different thing and I’d like to soak up my life right now with just me & my husband ❤️
Watching your videos make me feel more at peace. I’ve been cooking more vegetarian dishes for my boyfriend who loves meat but has slowly been loving all the veggie dishes. Thank you for making amazing videos! 💚💛🌼🌼
Thank you for inspiring to create my favorite little life! I quit my 9-5 and followed my passion. And now I’m in my Jammies with my coffee at home, watching your video 💕🌸
Lovely chat, I love how you are always so possitive... It brings me so much good energy!!! 💓 And so interesting about fostering teenager, I did not see that coming. I just can tell from how you react on everything, that you are so good people💓Happy Monday💓💓💓
That iced coffee is making my mouth water....but I'm 12 and my mom doesn't let me have coffee all that much......love you so much Allison! This video is amazing!!
You are so full of joy and inspiration 💕 I love all your videos! Your wisdom today touched me and was so encouraging ☺️ May your day be filled with many blessings. Love and hugs to you❤️🤗
Girl, take your time! I don’t understand why people pressure married couples to have kids either. Because you’re totally right, it’s going to change your whole life. And sure, it’ll be great but it’s still not ever going to be the same once you have kids. My parents married at 18 and didn’t try to have me until they were 30. They wanted to travel and of course make sure they were financially stable, and just enjoy themselves. So just enjoy your little family and your new home and puppy for now! I’m sure you will now when you’re ready ☺️
My husband and I are planning on traveling to Tulum in the middle of May! We live in North Carolina and we both have already had our first COVID vaccination, so we will be all set with our second vaccination and antibodies by then. I haven't flown since September of 2019 so I am SO READY!!! I have been working in a school for the last few months so I am excited to be vaccinated in general, but traveling is definitely a big perk!
I think it's so cool to hear other people that want to adopt kids that need a home because I was adopted.
Oh wow that’s incredible 🙏 thank you for sharing, friend 🌼
@@ALLISONBICKERSTAFF i was adopted too, its truly life changing
I adopted my son and I would do it again and again. Such a blessing!
I adopted my son, too! 🥰
I had my children and I was looking into adopting but it’s way too expensive especially with the children I have now. It made me really realize that I cannot afford anymore kids.
I’ve been trying to be more of a positive person because I tend to be more negative and your videos have really helped me
Ahhh that makes me happy! Life is better when we look on the bright side 🌼
@@ALLISONBICKERSTAFF Yes Allison. I'm agree with you. In the life we can meeting soo bad, negative and aggressive people but it's don't mean that life is bad. I consider so.
This is literally me! Allison is a ray of sunshine! I hope my videos bring that out to people too!
Hope Everyone Has A Happy, Sunny Monday🌼☀️💓
I am too

Nothing Better Than An Iced Coffee and An Allison Video🥰✨
I’m laughing at “calmer Palmer,” as I have a “hyper Piper” 🐶
I also have a Hyper Piper 🤍🐾
😂 I have a moody Millie
Omg no way! I also have a hyper piper lol
😂 I thought abt John Piper
I have pevie Evie
I relate so much to the friendship part, I have also always been really independent and have always thought there’s something wrong with me for not needing to interact with my friends all the time. So happy to hear it’s not just me! Thanks for being such an inspiration 💗🌹💕
I have felt the same exact way as well. It’s only recently that I’ve accepted it’s just a part of who I am. 💛🌼 I get you, friend!
Allison, you don’t know how much joy your videos and feedback give. You are such an inspiration to all. I wish you, B, and Palmer all the love and joy in the world. ☺️🥰🐕🦺
Ella 🥰🌸 thank you so so much for your kindness. We are sending you lots of love & a big hug! 🌿
omg, I never knew you were friends with so many Disney characters! That's so fun, and that pic of Rapunzel and Brandon is precious!!!
I knowww!!!! So adorable! She looks like a disney princess!
I totally understand why you’d want to travel more before you have kids. I have 3 and traveling with them is a mess.
Thank you for acknowledging the Disney layoffs/furloughs. So many people I care about were negatively affected, but I’m still a huge Disney fan. It’s bittersweet, but I’m glad I’m not alone in that sentiment.
I really appreciate your positive outlook on a lot of things in life. It is refreshing and helps me! You are such a light 🤗

hi Alisson I have been following you for around a year now and my life has gotten so positive

My husband and I are planning on traveling to Tulum in the middle of May! We live in North Carolina and we both have already had our first COVID vaccination, so we will be all set with our second vaccination and antibodies by then. I haven't flown since September of 2019 so I am SO READY!!! I have been working in a school for the last few months so I am excited to be vaccinated in general, but traveling is definitely a big perk!
Woohoooo!! I’ve been refreshing your channel page looking for a new video, and now I’m here 🤩 Super excited for this video 😁✨💕
Wooohoooo! Hope you enjoy the new video 🌼🤗
I love your videos so much. You bring such good energy, and put so much love into what you do, even your iced coffees! Have a great day :)
What are those cute little bottles by your espresso machine holding? Syrups? Your home aesthetic is just *chefs kiss* ❤️
I wish I was so wise when I was your age. ❤️ I love your advice about friendships.
I did the college program at WDW and miss it sooo much!! 😭😭💗💗 Rapunzel was always my fav! Thanks for creating the magic ✨✨✨
💜. Love watching your family grow
I love how you are considering adopting a teenager. LOVE THAT! They will be soo happy!
You’re so encouraging! Love these types of videos!
