McKenna, I am 45 and a mom of three boys, 20, 18, and 14. You are doing an amazing job! Enjoy each season with your boys but make sure you are taking care of yourself. You may not accomplish everything you had planned for yourself for the week or the month but you are inspiring thousands of women across the country each week with your content and just by being yourself!
Girl!! Your dad is your dad he should be the one putting in ALL the effort it should be effortless for you as the child. It’s not you’re responsibility to uphold the foundation of the relationship with either of your parents. Sorry you’ve had to go through this!! Definitely take the time you need to for yourself and your mental, physical and emotional health. You’re doing amazing, raising this beautiful family you have!
@naomid6043 hello and she has kids her future is much more important than trying to keep up with those trends and let's be honest anyway most of the sht is not even worth looking at let alone buying it and putting it on just because everyone else is. I love her style her realness and the fact she don't have to do all that and still gets the views. Whoever is commenting on her style is just another lost sheep trying to get her to spend her coins on stuff that will not matter in 10 years
She is a natural and Can buy what she wants but prefers a laid-back look, it's lovely on her. Not the 10 Gallons of make up glued to her face, heels so high, bunions are prominent look.
From laughing about your sons and their "girlfriends" to ending up crying with you about your family, ohhhh McKenna 💓 This is why I love you! I'm praying for you as you continue to break all these generational curses! God is with you and His glory is all over you ! You're so special and you will continue to be blessed 10xs over for all that you have been through! hugs and kisses ✨
When you were getting your feelings put about your family, I could feel your pain. All your feelings are extremely valid you’re so so strong. I’m in such a similar situation. I pray you find peace. I’m glad you’re considering therapy. I rant to God about these things and sometimes I realise that God is more of a father to me than anyone has ever been. Lots of love and prayers babe!🤍
I am in the same situation and being biracial is definitely part of my situation. We are building our own foundation, ending generations of trauma one day at a time. 🤎🫶🏼
I don't know what makes you so different from all the other you tubers but there is just something about you that I absolutely love and I love how you take care of your kids and everything you are just an amazing influencer!!!
Oh, McKenna, thank you for being this vulnerable with us. You're so beautiful and have created a beautiful family of your own. I hope things get better with your mom, dad, and siblings. You are such a beautiful soul,and the fact that your mom and dad treat you that way is so harsh, and nobody deserves that. Sending much love your way ❤️
The coolest thing is that you get to raise your family in a loving home with a loving mother. You have already changed the generational shit that came before you. Bravo girly! You did it 💗
McKenna is really the only RUclipsr I watch consistently. I love you so much girl❤ And I know y’all ain’t talking about my girl and how she dress….Bffr
Never apologize for speaking your truth. We as viewers can always appreciate the honesty and transparency. Your feelings are 100% valid and if not heard or understand by anyone else I am sure more than one of your followers understand it and can identify with it. Glad to hear things are changing and I pray they continue to change for the better.
It’s not over sharing, it’s good to get things out. Seems like your mom had some unresolved trauma that interferes with her relationship with you. It also seems like whatever happened between your mom & dad fell on your shoulders. Thank God you have your children & you’re breaking the cycle. I hope he realizes that you’re innocent & deserving but even if he doesn’t you turned out to be a beautiful young woman inside & out. God bless McKenna
I'm not halfway through the vlog but GIRLLLLLLL! please don't let these ppl bother you because I love your transparency. Everyone else try to act like they dress up every day and their house is always spotless. I love your realness. I have a 3-year-old and 7-month-old and I dress comfortable and most of the time the house is a mess. I'm still trying to learn that everything isnt going to be perfect. sometimes you have to put on the comfy clothes or the pair of socks that you had on before, but you don't have to time to find a match. kids always dress nice and Im in sweats most of time! it's whatever and btw my sons name is Karson and Khaza lol
I have a messy family too, you are not alone girly. Just started therapy earlier this year to address some of those anxieties around my family's dynamics and setting healthy boundaries so I'd highly recommend that if you think you'd be up to it. Cheers to you ad your beautiful family
McKenna, thank you for sharing your story. I’ve been where you are. I know it will hurt as the years go by with your father. My father helped raised his wife’s children but never checked in on his own children. I’ve learned that parents never address their traumas like they are supposed to. I pray that you heal from what you didn’t receive from your parents. I actually accepted that my father was never going to be what I wanted him to be and I never was going to be close to my dad’s side of the family. But their treatment on you is never about you. It’s all about them. And like you said, your mom broke his heart so you could be a reminder of the love that he once had for the woman he was in love with. You have a light about you that is undeniable. I hope God heals your heart but I definitely empathize with your story.
I just came here to say you deserve a beautiful engagement and to get married. You have beautiful children and a happy home together. There’s never a perfect time❤
Please don’t apologize for being real on this platform! You’re impressively human, you will experience pain as we all do! ❤❤ just know you’re not alone. We’re all going through something!
Hands down my favorite vlog to date. You were vulnerable about your family, seasonal depression, the ups and downs of motherhood. It was very aesthetically pleasing with the Valentine's Day vibes. Absolute perfection.
Your style and the way your hair be is what makes you different. Please be you and stay true to yourself. Please don't become like all the other RUclipsrs, they all copy each other and have no authenticity going on. Being you is what made you to be the great RUclipsr that you are❤️
Mckennna thank you for being vulnerable 😢it’s so real a lot of RUclipsrs just show the good side of life like there aren’t internal struggles , love this channel and you even more for this !!!!
Thank you for being so transparent girl. A lot of us women still long for that father figure & lowkey look for that in our partners. It’s natural how you feel.
This vulnerability is not easy to display but it's so relatable and beautiful. You have such a pure community I've rarely ever seen negative comments on your channel that's so refreshing and a testament to your character and content. Swear I just wanted to give you a hug through the screen because I empathize fr. Onto better and brighter days, the first step is releasing. You're putting out genuine intent and the village, and environment you desire is on its way. Thank you for making an impact no matter how small you may perceive it at times. You're doing an amazing job handling heavy things..stay grounded 🤍🙏🏽
There’s literally nothing wrong with wearing clothes multiple times or dressing how you feel comfortable! Also, it’s okay to cry and be vulnerable; therapy is a really good resource to try. If it works it works, if not it’s okay too. Journaling is also great! We’re here for you 🫶🏽🫶🏽🫶🏽
Baby you had me in tears talking about your family. I want you to know that the only ones that’s missing out are them, not you!!! I’m so happy you have the opportunity to break those toxic family cycles and showing your babies how a mom should love and treat their child and you’ve found a family that has taken you in and love you. I know that it’s so hard and hurtful not hearing it from the two people that should be saying it but, my love you are doing amazing! As a person and as a mother! Please don’t let people that don’t matter (even if it is your own family) make you feel less than! 💛🫶🏾🥹
You’re so relatable from your dad to your mom and being a foodie and it’s good you have them doing things around the house. We have to teach these boys survival skills so they will know how to PROPERLY take care of themselves.
When I tell you I love this chic and I’m a whole 34 yr old grown women who’s always learning new things and just found you two months ago oh yea Instant new subbie 🤣and been binge watching When I tell you live rent free in my head sis listen these self-care cooking clean videos and vlogs are everything and gets my allll the way together as a mom of two queens 15 and 7 so yea. It was me looking for a video on Sunday from you like sis I was like where she at then you drop this video let’s go .❤💃🏽💃🏽💃🏽💃🏽
I appreciate you opening up about your personal issues. I wanted to reach through the phone to hug you and hold you when you were about to cry. You are such a great mom, honestly, that's most of the reason why I watch your videos. You are loved and appreciated! Prayers that healthy relationships are strengthened and the rocky ones are repaired or at most understood. 💜🙏🏾
I love that you don’t have the best relationship with your family but your doing something different for your boys and the family that you have created!!! 💕 thank you for sharing that with us.
I feel you and praying for better days…. just don’t hold it in. release it in whatever way helps you release… journal, self care, talking to someone or etc. you are so strong and keep your eyes on the light that’s keep you going bc people love you and want the best for you 🫶🏾
McKenna i completely understand the family struggles. You grow up and you start to realize ppl aren’t who you thought they were. We all have family traumas and never apologize for what happened to you. All we can do is become better with time and celebrate the successes you have with the ppl you have around you that love and care for you. ❤ wishing you the best
I love your transparency about motherhood and life. No matter what things aren’t always roses and rainbows. We have to give ourselves grace and understand life is ebbs and flows.
Hello Mc Kenna when you shared your family history, you touched me deeply because i live an almost identical situation. It’s very hard sometimes . I know that God will help me so thank you to share yours feelings with us.❤from the west indies
I told you, I can just see God walking with you. I was so happy that someone turned your card in. 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽 That was so nice. We still have trustworthy people in the world.
I love how you dress because I thought it was just me dressing comfortably. There’s nothing wrong with how you dress. Thank you for always being transparent and real 🫶🏾
Girl ❤ sending hugs to you 🙏🏾 when you were talking about your dad I felt you so deeply. I have the same situation. I’m a grown ass woman and still dealing with it. Same with the family and it being weird. You keep on praying and working on you bc it’s messed up but you’re doing a great job with your family. Be the example of what you want and don’t let that trauma mess you up. 💕💕🙏🏾🌺
I usually don’t do long vlogs but you literally inspire me as a mom/woman, got me through a day of cleaning and even almost had me in tears and deep thought because I deal w/ father trauma and unfortunately a strained relationship w/ the father of my child & I truly believe sadly some men dictate their relationship w/ their kids by their relationship w/ the children .
@mckenna. Girl dont rush the marriage. Let it happen when its ready to happen. Too much of my young peers are getting married way too young and regretting it. You and your man will decide together when the time is right dont let people pressure you guys. Much love 🖤🖤🖤
Agreed! The pressure that society (and religion) be putting on marriage is insane. Too many people getting married for the wrong reasons just so they can say they’re married. It’s crazy
Your not alone- I thought I was when I went through family issues too. Thank god you have your kids & your little family- anyone who dosent wanna be in your life is their loss! You are a great mom & you also deserve to be a wife 👏🏻
Hi McKenna, never ever apologize for feeling the way that you do about your father, he wasn't there for you, this blog of yours was very deep and I thank you for sharing your private thoughts and feelings, just know that even though your father wasn't there that you are an amazing mother of three boys you're teaching them everyday how to be good human beings always know that, in this blog you are teaching them how to cook a teaching them how to wash the dishes you're spending quality time with them just focus on the fact that you are an amazing mom and amazing human being, thank you for being so transparent in your vlogs
Mckenna, I totally understand not being where you want to be body wise and how that can affect what you wear. BUT let me tell you, from someone who doesn't even have kids your body is literally so nice. That waist is SNATCHED honey, the girls are SITTING okay??! & that PEACH is THICK honey in all the right places. Kids, no kids, you look so good period. In case no one has told you. Completely unbiased & I'm not just saying that. Love you
Don't be so hard on yourself. The fact that you care about the little things shows your love for your family. They will have great memories when they are older. They are lucky boys!
Thank you for sharing about your family. I’m obviously a few months behind on your vlogs, watching when I drive and when I’m free. My dad hasn’t been in my life since I was 2, I’ve reached out to his family when I was 16 and although they made plans with my mom for me to visit them they eventually stopped talking to me/my mom. Hardly ANY influencers are relatable which is why you are so popping because you make people feel seen, and comfortable. You are amazingly imperfectly perfect ❤️
Girl life be lifeing for sure but I admire your strength. You’re such a great mom & your family is so cute. I hate to hear about the struggles you have with your dad and family but I will say that therapy has helped me a ton with family issues so it may be a good resource for you. Lastly, so glad Melo is feeling better!! It’s the absolute worse not knowing what’s wrong and having to go to the ER . Keep your head up queen you are bad ass!
Is it bacthat I look forward to this every Sunday? Ahhhhh I either watch while cooking or wait till the kids are asleep for the night. I don't know why but she is so therapeutic to me lol thanks McKenna and gworl dress how TF you want to! You still getting subbies and you're subbies are happy to support you!
Hi McKenna I’m 23 I had my first baby boy in October.. I also have 6 BONUS KIDS…. I’m so BLESSED to have found you I go through the exact same thing with my dad the exact similar situations.. thank you for sharing..
Thank you for sharing and being vulnerable ❤ it is not unnoticed. I’m sorry your dad wasn’t there for you. You deserve that and more. You’re an amazing mama 💕
Ilysm girl if I could watch one person on RUclips only it’s you girl it’s you… u work so hard and we see it and love it so much … ur top tier rn don’t change ❤❤❤❤❤ all the tips and realness u give us just wanted to share some of the good vibes u always sending out boo
You have become one of my faves because you are so real and relatable. As a mom of 3 (my youngest was born last April) it has been very difficult for me to get the hang of this mom of 3 kids thing. You are a light even when you don’t feel like you have it all together. Keep pushing my girl & you look GOOD 💗
Thank you for sharing about your family dynamics and your Dad. I know it was an unexpected rant, but there are so many people who can relate. It’s hard to see other kids get the kind of love and care that you wanted & deserved as well. On one hand you’re happy for them but on the other hand you’re hurt. Why couldn’t he have stepped up in that way for you as well, regardless of his relationship with your mom. My heart goes out to you cause those are the thoughts I be thinking too for my mom 😭 You have created such a beautiful family of your own & I feel like you go above and beyond because you know what it’s like to want certain things as a child. You are constantly trying to make memories and make sure your kids have a HOME - not just a HOUSE! Just know you have succeeded just by showing up and choosing them every single day. Therapy would definitely help give you a place to vent and work through those emotions you still have. May you & your family be blessed beyond measure 🤎
Also, your hair and the way you dress is beautiful girlie. Don’t let anyone have you thinking you’re not that girl because you are. You so pretty even on your worst days!❤😊
you’re amazing Mckenna and i’m sorry that you had to go through everything with your family because you are such a beautiful soul who deserves nothing but the best.❤❤❤
Also ahah last night I finally cooked. Only the sides but we needed lemons for the salmon & other things… but then I got my period & had no energy to cook the salmon. My man got home late & we had Wingstop 😂😭
McKenna I absolutely love you and your feelings about your family situation are completely valid. I hope sharing helps you continue to heal. You are an amazing mom and partner keep doing what you are doing, you are such an inspiration 💓.
I really love you being transparent about your family, a lot of us can relate. Daddy issues are real you should do a video talking more about how it affected your personal life and relationship. Would love to see that 🙏🏾 but you’re doing great girl I think therapy is a great idea ❤️
McKenna don’t apologise for over sharing because you voiced everything that I’ve been feeling for a long time and it’s freaking hard🥲🥲 but I love the transparency❤️ And one day your boys will turn around and thank you for being the best mom they could have asked for. I highly doubt your kids will ever feel how you feel❤️
Mckenna, I love your vibe and I really enjoy watching your vlogs! The things you said about your family resonated with me- family issues are so draining and it makes us wonder what did we even do to deserve bad treatment from our family. It must be even more difficult with raising the boys and wanting them to have more of your wider family around. Sending you positive vibes- your videos make a lot of us feel better as you are super relatable 💜💜
I had tears in my eyes as you spoke about your mother and father! I had the same issue with my father and mother. When you said, “ I wanted a family of my own.” I felt that! ❤️❤️❤️
I felt that over sharing. My family is big but not close so I’ve always wanted to have moments that I see other people have with their families, it always makes me emotional. I have zero tips just sharing love to and your family gworl 💕
McKenna, you are so relatable and so transparent. Everyone’s family is so different. I can totally understand how you family about relationships with your mom etc. whew! I truly love it here. (Big virtual hug) ❤
My sister and I love you so much! We are praying for you and your family!! Don’t worry everything I going to work itself out in your favor!! You are truly one of a kind!!
Lovee your vlogs they have been so comforting for me for like 8 months now! I love watching your grow & how amazing you are as a young mom! I’m 24 & seeing you have 3 kids is amazing! But I really want to thank you for being so vulnerable & open on here about your life! You touch more lives than you know! ❤ Stay strong & keep shining! You inspire me & many others!
Happy lundi gras 💜💚💛! Perfect way to spend a holiday weekend. Pjs king cake iced coffee + McKenna !! The way I love to meal prep is actually "food" prep aka batch cook, and not make it meals until i know what I feel like eating that day. Example...fix ground beef. some nites you may want tacos, another night pour marinara sauce over it and have meat sauce/pasta, next night same beef mixed in rice and seasoning you have dirty rice. so there is 3 different meals. You can use this method with any food. hope this helps xoxo. Love the Vday ballon wall 💓💗❤! I know exactly what you mean and where you're coming from with the family talk. Know that you are and have created that special "family" you are speaking of. You are inspiring, thanks for sharing. love from new orleans, la xoxo
Been binge watching your videos and girl why did I start crying at the end when you were talking about your relationship with your dad and parents?!? I think because I can relate 😊. Anyways I hope your winter season this year is the best yet!!!❤ God Bless.
Hey pretty, never stop being you. We love your hair, your style, and you being your authentic self. When you’re a mom of 3 a lot of things you just don’t care about I have a one year old and I’m not always put together 😂 So many other RUclipsrs/influencers be so fake and materialistic. Thank you for always keeping it real and genuine with us. ❤
Your such a great mom I love the idea of the heart balloons on the wall ! I love that you said you wear your clothes more than once I feel like people don’t normalize that like they should😭! And the black dress was definitely giving❤!
You are such a GREAT mom McKenna you would never know you go through something like that because your spirits are always high, you are so great with taking care of yourself and literally the best mom like I wanna be your kid lol😅 those food boards are life! It’s always good to express your emotions and just let it all out that is totally fine 💖💖
You are allowed to have your feelings about anything without guilt or dismissing them. It will be a process to work through them. The most important thing is to remember to give yourself unconditional love. The healing and understanding will follow.
McKenna you are an awesome young woman and mother…I admire the things you do and how you do them with your babies and how informative you are with finances and all the other things you show us…and you getting emotional about your dad and just family and wanting to be closer…I felt that pain with you because I’ve been there with my dad…and your feelings are valid…but I just wanted to tell you how awesome you’re doing and if I could give you your flowers now I would babygirl..because you definitely deserve them hun…Continue to stay strong…prayed up and enjoy those babies making memories and the journey with them and your man…God bless you!💜
I appreciate the family over sharing. We all have our own family issues and it’s more settling knowing your not alone. I never comment but I always watch but I had to let you know thanks. Your not the only one.
Im mad irritated that something said anything about your hair and clothes. You look beautiful and thank you for even letting us see your day to day life.
Im so sorry about the stuff with your family. Its just been alot for you that kinda bubbled up with the loss of family just brings up alot of stuff. I can relate. Sending you love and praying that while those places in your heart and in the back of your mind get crowded with love from your babies and your true family you find and call your own.
I truly enjoyed this blog. Its Carter and his “gf” kissing on the hand for me 😂 Please don’t ever apologize for sharing your truth. I could feel your energy and how much it pains you. I’m sure many can relate so you sharing may help others feel seen. You’re such a beautiful person and mom and it’s their loss that they are missing out on you and your amazing family. I understand the desire however look at what you are doing. You are breaking that generational pattern with your family. Be proud of yourself. I pray that God softens and heals your fathers heart and that he will see the void of not having that relationship with you. I pray that God heals your heart as well..I pray that little girl that’s still in there sees her worth and knows that it’s not her fault. You are wanted and loved by many. Love you sis🙏🏾☺️💕
Omg your story about your family is me to a “T”!!! I have almost the perfect family that “I” created but I’ve always wanted a family that accepted me. I hate when ppl say but you have your kids and your man. I’m grateful for them but I wish my family accepted and cared about me. So yes, I feel you! ❤
McKenna, I am 45 and a mom of three boys, 20, 18, and 14. You are doing an amazing job! Enjoy each season with your boys but make sure you are taking care of yourself.

Well said! Sometimes mamas just gotta hear that they’re doing good ❤
Girl!! Your dad is your dad he should be the one putting in ALL the effort it should be effortless for you as the child. It’s not you’re responsibility to uphold the foundation of the relationship with either of your parents. Sorry you’ve had to go through this!! Definitely take the time you need to for yourself and your mental, physical and emotional health. You’re doing amazing, raising this beautiful family you have!

Your style and the way your hair be is what makes you different. Please be you and stay true to yourself. Please don't become like all the other RUclipsrs, they all copy each other and have no authenticity going on. Being you is what made you to be the great RUclipsr that you are❤️
Mckennna thank you for being vulnerable 😢it’s so real a lot of RUclipsrs just show the good side of life like there aren’t internal struggles , love this channel and you even more for this !!!!
I am literally screaming laughing at Carter and Carson and their choice of grandma names 😂😂😂😂 like kids just do not care. Omg!!
Thank you for being so transparent girl. A lot of us women still long for that father figure & lowkey look for that in our partners. It’s natural how you feel.
This vulnerability is not easy to display but it's so relatable and beautiful. You have such a pure community I've rarely ever seen negative comments on your channel that's so refreshing and a testament to your character and content. Swear I just wanted to give you a hug through the screen because I empathize fr. Onto better and brighter days, the first step is releasing. You're putting out genuine intent and the village, and environment you desire is on its way. Thank you for making an impact no matter how small you may perceive it at times. You're doing an amazing job handling heavy things..stay grounded 🤍🙏🏽
These “dads” love taking care of everyone else’s kids but their own 🙃 I feel like we’ve all lived the same life 🥲🥲
There’s literally nothing wrong with wearing clothes multiple times or dressing how you feel comfortable! Also, it’s okay to cry and be vulnerable; therapy is a really good resource to try. If it works it works, if not it’s okay too. Journaling is also great! We’re here for you 🫶🏽🫶🏽🫶🏽
Baby you had me in tears talking about your family.
I want you to know that the only ones that’s missing out are them, not you!!! I’m so happy you have the opportunity to break those toxic family cycles and showing your babies how a mom should love and treat their child and you’ve found a family that has taken you in and love you. I know that it’s so hard and hurtful not hearing it from the two people that should be saying it but, my love you are doing amazing! As a person and as a mother! Please don’t let people that don’t matter (even if it is your own family) make you feel less than! 💛🫶🏾🥹
Girl ain’t nothing with the way you dress or your hair! I love the fact you are real and down to earth! We can relate to you! Stay you❤
Thank you for being open with your viewers about your mental health and family life! We appreciate you and know that you’re loved!
You’re so relatable from your dad to your mom and being a foodie and it’s good you have them doing things around the house. We have to teach these boys survival skills so they will know how to PROPERLY take care of themselves.
Yassssss! No better way to start the week than with a Kenna vlog. Sending ❤ to 🇺🇸 from 🇿🇦
When I tell you I love this chic and I’m a whole 34 yr old grown women who’s always learning new things and just found you two months ago oh yea Instant new subbie 🤣and been binge watching When I tell you live rent free in my head sis listen these self-care cooking clean videos and vlogs are everything and gets my allll the way together as a mom of two queens 15 and 7 so yea. It was me looking for a video on Sunday from you like sis I was like where she at then you drop this video let’s go .❤💃🏽💃🏽💃🏽💃🏽
White and black grandma got me🤣🤣Kids being kids
I appreciate you opening up about your personal issues. I wanted to reach through the phone to hug you and hold you when you were about to cry. You are such a great mom, honestly, that's most of the reason why I watch your videos. You are loved and appreciated! Prayers that healthy relationships are strengthened and the rocky ones are repaired or at most understood. 💜🙏🏾
You are too sweet and deserve the love and kindness. I’m rooting for you. You’re amazing.
I love that you don’t have the best relationship with your family but your doing something different for your boys and the family that you have created!!! 💕 thank you for sharing that with us.
Hey McKenna I can relate to your relationship with your dad. I appreciate you sharing it with us.
Your videos inspire me to do better as a mom and with myself ❤️
Thank you so much for sharing McKenna. Believe me, so many of us can relate when it comes to our fathers. ❣️
I feel you and praying for better days…. just don’t hold it in. release it in whatever way helps you release… journal, self care, talking to someone or etc. you are so strong and keep your eyes on the light that’s keep you going bc people love you and want the best for you 🫶🏾
McKenna i completely understand the family struggles. You grow up and you start to realize ppl aren’t who you thought they were. We all have family traumas and never apologize for what happened to you. All we can do is become better with time and celebrate the successes you have with the ppl you have around you that love and care for you. ❤ wishing you the best
I love your transparency about motherhood and life. No matter what things aren’t always roses and rainbows. We have to give ourselves grace and understand life is ebbs and flows.
yesssssss! I had to let her know that because stuff get hard at times and it's not easy whether you have a partner or not
Hello Mc Kenna when you shared your family history, you touched me deeply because i live an almost identical situation. It’s very hard sometimes . I know that God will help me so thank you to share yours feelings with us.❤from the west indies
I feel so much closer to you. I see you more cause with my “family” it’s the same way 🙏🏾. Being real is never over sharing.
I told you, I can just see God walking with you. I was so happy that someone turned your card in. 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽 That was so nice. We still have trustworthy people in the world.
Thank you for sharing how you feel about your family McKenna. Just remember you have the right how you feel about things or how people treat you.
I love how you dress because I thought it was just me dressing comfortably. There’s nothing wrong with how you dress. Thank you for always being transparent and real 🫶🏾
Girl ❤ sending hugs to you 🙏🏾 when you were talking about your dad I felt you so deeply. I have the same situation. I’m a grown ass woman and still dealing with it. Same with the family and it being weird. You keep on praying and working on you bc it’s messed up but you’re doing a great job with your family. Be the example of what you want and don’t let that trauma mess you up. 💕💕🙏🏾🌺
I usually don’t do long vlogs but you literally inspire me as a mom/woman, got me through a day of cleaning and even almost had me in tears and deep thought because I deal w/ father trauma and unfortunately a strained relationship w/ the father of my child & I truly believe sadly some men dictate their relationship w/ their kids by their relationship w/ the children .
Love the consistency McKenna! 🫶🏽
@mckenna. Girl dont rush the marriage. Let it happen when its ready to happen. Too much of my young peers are getting married way too young and regretting it. You and your man will decide together when the time is right dont let people pressure you guys. Much love 🖤🖤🖤
Agreed! The pressure that society (and religion) be putting on marriage is insane. Too many people getting married for the wrong reasons just so they can say they’re married. It’s crazy
@@leledac yall sound crazy. Dont rush marriage but they have 3 children together 🤦🏽♀️
@@jessicawilliams8687 okay so what does that mean? Lol
Your not alone- I thought I was when I went through family issues too. Thank god you have your kids & your little family- anyone who dosent wanna be in your life is their loss! You are a great mom & you also deserve to be a wife 👏🏻
I really appreciate you opening up about your family in this video….I relate & understand what you’re saying
It’s so crazy how I almost teared up crying, McKenna is such a sweet heart.
Was literally praying for a vlog this morning, I needed this so bad! Thanks queen xoxoxo
Hi McKenna, never ever apologize for feeling the way that you do about your father, he wasn't there for you, this blog of yours was very deep and I thank you for sharing your private thoughts and feelings, just know that even though your father wasn't there that you are an amazing mother of three boys you're teaching them everyday how to be good human beings always know that, in this blog you are teaching them how to cook a teaching them how to wash the dishes you're spending quality time with them just focus on the fact that you are an amazing mom and amazing human being, thank you for being so transparent in your vlogs
Mckenna, I totally understand not being where you want to be body wise and how that can affect what you wear. BUT let me tell you, from someone who doesn't even have kids your body is literally so nice. That waist is SNATCHED honey, the girls are SITTING okay??! & that PEACH is THICK honey in all the right places. Kids, no kids, you look so good period. In case no one has told you. Completely unbiased & I'm not just saying that. Love you
IKRRRRRR❗❗❗💯💯💯💯 I really love her body and everything about her. She's like God's favorite😍😍😍💕💕💅💅💅
THIS. She’s so beautiful.
Exactly. My waist ain't shit lmaoooo. I'm thinking of lipo but her body is amazing.
Don't be so hard on yourself. The fact that you care about the little things shows your love for your family. They will have great memories when they are older. They are lucky boys!
Thank you for sharing about your family. I’m obviously a few months behind on your vlogs, watching when I drive and when I’m free. My dad hasn’t been in my life since I was 2, I’ve reached out to his family when I was 16 and although they made plans with my mom for me to visit them they eventually stopped talking to me/my mom. Hardly ANY influencers are relatable which is why you are so popping because you make people feel seen, and comfortable. You are amazingly imperfectly perfect ❤️
Girl life be lifeing for sure but I admire your strength. You’re such a great mom & your family is so cute. I hate to hear about the struggles you have with your dad and family but I will say that therapy has helped me a ton with family issues so it may be a good resource for you. Lastly, so glad Melo is feeling better!! It’s the absolute worse not knowing what’s wrong and having to go to the ER . Keep your head up queen you are bad ass!
Is it bacthat I look forward to this every Sunday? Ahhhhh I either watch while cooking or wait till the kids are asleep for the night. I don't know why but she is so therapeutic to me lol thanks McKenna and gworl dress how TF you want to! You still getting subbies and you're subbies are happy to support you!
Hi McKenna I’m 23 I had my first baby boy in October.. I also have 6 BONUS KIDS…. I’m so BLESSED to have found you I go through the exact same thing with my dad the exact similar situations.. thank you for sharing..
I’ve been checking for your upload since Sunday morning!!!!! So Happy to see it!!!! Amen!!! Blessings to you and the family 🤍
Still rooting for you!! I love that you are keeping your spiritual growth first by consistently attending church, we see you 😍😍😍
Thank you for sharing and being vulnerable ❤ it is not unnoticed. I’m sorry your dad wasn’t there for you. You deserve that and more. You’re an amazing mama 💕
Ilysm girl if I could watch one person on RUclips only it’s you girl it’s you… u work so hard and we see it and love it so much … ur top tier rn don’t change ❤❤❤❤❤ all the tips and realness u give us just wanted to share some of the good vibes u always sending out boo
You have become one of my faves because you are so real and relatable. As a mom of 3 (my youngest was born last April) it has been very difficult for me to get the hang of this mom of 3 kids thing. You are a light even when you don’t feel like you have it all together. Keep pushing my girl & you look GOOD 💗
Carter said “A nice purse and some shoes.” Teach em while they’re young girl!!!
Thank you for sharing about your family dynamics and your Dad. I know it was an unexpected rant, but there are so many people who can relate. It’s hard to see other kids get the kind of love and care that you wanted & deserved as well. On one hand you’re happy for them but on the other hand you’re hurt. Why couldn’t he have stepped up in that way for you as well, regardless of his relationship with your mom. My heart goes out to you cause those are the thoughts I be thinking too for my mom 😭 You have created such a beautiful family of your own & I feel like you go above and beyond because you know what it’s like to want certain things as a child. You are constantly trying to make memories and make sure your kids have a HOME - not just a HOUSE! Just know you have succeeded just by showing up and choosing them every single day. Therapy would definitely help give you a place to vent and work through those emotions you still have. May you & your family be blessed beyond measure 🤎
Also, your hair and the way you dress is beautiful girlie. Don’t let anyone have you thinking you’re not that girl because you are. You so pretty even on your worst days!❤😊
McKenna you are a great mom! You are too hard on yourself with wanting to do more. You do the absolute most for your kids and I love to see it ❤
you’re amazing Mckenna and i’m sorry that you had to go through everything with your family because you are such a beautiful soul who deserves nothing but the best.❤❤❤
Girl been looking forward to your new vid🫶🏽 as a new Mama your vids inspire, comfort me & I relate
Love you girly 💗 and proud of you 👏🏽
Also ahah last night I finally cooked. Only the sides but we needed lemons for the salmon & other things… but then I got my period & had no energy to cook the salmon. My man got home late & we had Wingstop 😂😭
McKenna I absolutely love you and your feelings about your family situation are completely valid. I hope sharing helps you continue to heal. You are an amazing mom and partner keep doing what you are doing, you are such an inspiration 💓.
I really love you being transparent about your family, a lot of us can relate. Daddy issues are real you should do a video talking more about how it affected your personal life and relationship. Would love to see that 🙏🏾 but you’re doing great girl I think therapy is a great idea ❤️
You’re amazing through the the examples that were in your family. Your boys are flourishing and happy. You’re a warrior and I’m loving it.
McKenna don’t apologise for over sharing because you voiced everything that I’ve been feeling for a long time and it’s freaking hard🥲🥲 but I love the transparency❤️
And one day your boys will turn around and thank you for being the best mom they could have asked for. I highly doubt your kids will ever feel how you feel❤️
Mckenna, I love your vibe and I really enjoy watching your vlogs! The things you said about your family resonated with me- family issues are so draining and it makes us wonder what did we even do to deserve bad treatment from our family. It must be even more difficult with raising the boys and wanting them to have more of your wider family around. Sending you positive vibes- your videos make a lot of us feel better as you are super relatable 💜💜
Needed This 🥹 Happy Monday! Praying For You Babe 🙏🏼❤️
You always look beautiful and dress cute. Your hygiene is always on point. Don’t listen to the negativity . ❤
I had tears in my eyes as you spoke about your mother and father! I had the same issue with my father and mother. When you said, “ I wanted a family of my own.” I felt that! ❤️❤️❤️
Girl you don’t have to explain yourself ! Continue to dress how you feel comfortable love you keep grinding and shinning ❤️😘
I felt that over sharing. My family is big but not close so I’ve always wanted to have moments that I see other people have with their families, it always makes me emotional. I have zero tips just sharing love to and your family gworl 💕
McKenna, you are so relatable and so transparent. Everyone’s family is so different. I can totally understand how you family about relationships with your mom etc. whew! I truly love it here. (Big virtual hug) ❤
My sister and I love you so much! We are praying for you and your family!! Don’t worry everything I going to work itself out in your favor!! You are truly one of a kind!!
Lovee your vlogs they have been so comforting for me for like 8 months now! I love watching your grow & how amazing you are as a young mom! I’m 24 & seeing you have 3 kids is amazing!
But I really want to thank you for being so vulnerable & open on here about your life! You touch more lives than you know! ❤ Stay strong & keep shining! You inspire me & many others!
Happy lundi gras 💜💚💛! Perfect way to spend a holiday weekend. Pjs king cake iced coffee + McKenna !! The way I love to meal prep is actually "food" prep aka batch cook, and not make it meals until i know what I feel like eating that day. Example...fix ground beef. some nites you may want tacos, another night pour marinara sauce over it and have meat sauce/pasta, next night same beef mixed in rice and seasoning you have dirty rice. so there is 3 different meals. You can use this method with any food. hope this helps xoxo. Love the Vday ballon wall
💓💗❤! I know exactly what you mean and where you're coming from with the family talk. Know that you are and have created that special "family" you are speaking of. You are inspiring, thanks for sharing. love from new orleans, la xoxo
Been binge watching your videos and girl why did I start crying at the end when you were talking about your relationship with your dad and parents?!? I think because I can relate 😊. Anyways I hope your winter season this year is the best yet!!!❤ God Bless.
Hey pretty, never stop being you. We love your hair, your style, and you being your authentic self. When you’re a mom of 3 a lot of things you just don’t care about I have a one year old and I’m not always put together 😂 So many other RUclipsrs/influencers be so fake and materialistic. Thank you for always keeping it real and genuine with us. ❤
Your such a great mom I love the idea of the heart balloons on the wall ! I love that you said you wear your clothes more than once I feel like people don’t normalize that like they should😭! And the black dress was definitely giving❤!
You are such a GREAT mom McKenna you would never know you go through something like that because your spirits are always high, you are so great with taking care of yourself and literally the best mom like I wanna be your kid lol😅 those food boards are life! It’s always good to express your emotions and just let it all out that is totally fine 💖💖
You are allowed to have your feelings about anything without guilt or dismissing them. It will be a process to work through them. The most important thing is to remember to give yourself unconditional love. The healing and understanding will follow.
McKenna you are an awesome young woman and mother…I admire the things you do and how you do them with your babies and how informative you are with finances and all the other things you show us…and you getting emotional about your dad and just family and wanting to be closer…I felt that pain with you because I’ve been there with my dad…and your feelings are valid…but I just wanted to tell you how awesome you’re doing and if I could give you your flowers now I would babygirl..because you definitely deserve them hun…Continue to stay strong…prayed up and enjoy those babies making memories and the journey with them and your man…God bless you!💜
I appreciate the family over sharing. We all have our own family issues and it’s more settling knowing your not alone. I never comment but I always watch but I had to let you know thanks. Your not the only one.
Im mad irritated that something said anything about your hair and clothes. You look beautiful and thank you for even letting us see your day to day life.
Im so sorry about the stuff with your family. Its just been alot for you that kinda bubbled up with the loss of family just brings up alot of stuff. I can relate. Sending you love and praying that while those places in your heart and in the back of your mind get crowded with love from your babies and your true family you find and call your own.
I truly enjoyed this blog. Its Carter and his “gf” kissing on the hand for me 😂
Please don’t ever apologize for sharing your truth. I could feel your energy and how much it pains you. I’m sure many can relate so you sharing may help others feel seen. You’re such a beautiful person and mom and it’s their loss that they are missing out on you and your amazing family. I understand the desire however look at what you are doing. You are breaking that generational pattern with your family. Be proud of yourself. I pray that God softens and heals your fathers heart and that he will see the void of not having that relationship with you. I pray that God heals your heart as well..I pray that little girl that’s still in there sees her worth and knows that it’s not her fault. You are wanted and loved by many. Love you sis🙏🏾☺️💕
Omg your story about your family is me to a “T”!!! I have almost the perfect family that “I” created but I’ve always wanted a family that accepted me. I hate when ppl say but you have your kids and your man. I’m grateful for them but I wish my family accepted and cared about me. So yes, I feel you! ❤
