As a crocheter with carpal tunnel, bigger yarn and hook, lightweight ergonomic hooks, and crafters compression gloves. Also watch how you're sitting, it does make a difference. Set a timer, every 20 or so minutes, stop and take a 5 minute stretch break. Stretch all your fingers. Happy crafting!
No matter what I do I cannot do it like I can physically do it right then and there but for about a week or two even sometimes three weeks after doing more than probably 10 rows my hands swell and burn and hurt so bad every night I get woke up 5 to 10 times a night and have to be up for a good 30 minutes for it to calm down and then I can’t do hardly anything throughout the day cause I’m in so much pain it’s insane so prayers to everyone that it never gets that bad and you can continue doing what you love And number one advise listen to your body and do what you can to prevent getting worse like the stretches mentioned here
@@staceymccann8340make sure you’re taking breaks as to not cause chronic wrist pains. it’s important to make sure you’re wrists are angled correctly aswell in a neutral wrist position.
Omg I love Mama Maples shes just the best. YOU LOOK LIKE A PINATA!! Imagine someone walking up to you (while wearing it) and they say, "You look like a pinata!" omg i can't even🤣🤣
Honestly, I don’t know if she is coming into her own, trying to be funny or down right insulting and condescending to her family at times. It is a whole new Mia, that I am unsure about. If it is all in good fun, no worries but something is a little different. I have been loving her channel for years and admire her ability to touch audiences of various age groups.
i could not stop laughing when mia and mama maples were talking about her taking her sleepover stuff in a grocery bag 😭😭😂 it’s okay mia we’ve all been there
I still do it, even though I now own some very nice bags. It's just a habit at this point. I've been trying to break it with a very nice sports bag, but I still put everything into grocery bags and then dump the lot into the sports bag. 😑
Everybody in our world needs Mia in their life because she is such a genuine, kind and outgoing person. So excited to watch this video and I love your content so much ❤️
Maybe I'm crazy, but I feel like Mia is growing more comfortable into her own style recently and I absolutely love it, the first outfit and the sponsor outfit were so cute!
I absolutely adore Mia and her mom's relationship and how much of an iconic duo they are. During this video, I had the massive realization of why I enjoy this content so much and it was such an overwhelming feeling. I have a younger sister and I've always envied her and my mother's connection and how I don't have that with anyone, I've always been quite distant with my family and my not so long-lasting friends so watching this connection between Mia and Momma maples and feeling somewhat included gave me this rush of a kinda happy loneliness. I don't know, if you actually read this far I hope you have/had a wonderful day
I love it so much .I've always had that kind of relationship with my mom and my 16 yr daughter and I are the same . Most 16 yrs olds want nothing to do with their parents going through that stage ,but my daughter and I still do everything together. I got her into figure skating so I'd have someone to go with me . We also take a girls trip every summer to Padre Island for 2 weeks and we have a blast . So I just love seeing other girls have such close relationship with their mom. It always makes me feel so bad when I hear others saying they don't get along with their mother. Scientifically the bond between mother and daughter is the strongest bond humans can have even stronger than the spouse relationship. I just saw a thing about that and really they were so right.
"It's the wild wild west baby" 😂😂😂 Omg how every outfit makes Mia wanna shake her but at her mom and Mama Maples is handling it less and less each pass 😂 so cute and funny
Friendly reminder that crochet cannot be done by machines so be sure to get all your crochet items from crochet artists! Shoutout mia for not supporting crochet fast fashion
wait i don’t get it. if crochet can’t be done by machines then why would you need to make SURE you buy from crochet artists? if there’s no other possible way crochet can be made?? (genuine question. i don’t know anything about crochet!)
@@mariananolasco2801 large companies usually don’t get crochet products ethicality. Cheap crochet is made by underpaid workers. It’s best to not support those businesses and instead buy from small businesses! that way the maker is properly paid and supported :D
@@mariananolasco2801 crochet takes a lot of time and effort it is important to support crochet artists through sites like Etsy as if you purchased a crocheted piece of clothing from somewhere like Shen or primark it is significantly cheaper than places like Etsy this is bad because the people who made it for fast fashion brands are not getting paid the correct amount for there skill and time this became a greater issue when crochet became popular
@@mariananolasco2801 hi! crochet artists are making those items by hand and by supporting them, you’re supporting fair wages and high quality work environments. crochet items you might find from places like target or shein for example are also handmade, but when sold at low prices, the pay to the actual artists that made them is so incredibly minuscule. for example, the backpack she showed may have sold for $20 at walmart (hypothetical ofc), and maybe 3 of those dollars maximum are going in the hands of the people that made them. it’s a similar conversation to fast fashion vs sustainable fashion except with crochet. or if sewing machines didn’t exist and all the clothes were hand sewn but still sold at the prices they are now. increased time & skill but insanely low compensation. i hope that clears it up! happy to answer more questions 🥰
@@mariananolasco2801 because it’s most likely made in a sweatshop by seriously underpaid workers. When crocheting a garment or even a blanket, it is so time consuming. Not to mention hard on your hands, shoulders, neck and back if youre not set up properly. I can crochet for an hour at a time at most. Can’t imagine having to crochet for a fast fashion company 10 hours a day x
LOL when our girl Mia put on those crocheted chaps, a personality LEPT right out of her, the likes of which I've never seen before 😂😂 I can't stop laughing at her backing it up suddenly and propping her leg on the chair like that while Mama Maples dies
I can't lie - the fact that I both crochet and make clay and traditional jewellery makes me proud that someone so lovely enjoys the outcome of my hard work!! Mia gives me the confidence to MAYBE start selling! Thanks Mia (and Mama maples of course!!)
Take some pictures of the things you make and post them on Etsy, it's nice to have some extra money, especially if it's from something you enjoy doing!
@@vzeimen Same for you, take some pictures and post the listings on Etsy! Nothing much to lose from doing it, other than a 20 cent fee per listing! Of course, you'd have to have a way to ship your items and print shipping labels. You can get free boxes delivered to you from USPS.
@@azu3417 How long does the listing stay up for the 20 cents? I've thought about getting on Etsy before, but it seemed so complicated. You make it sound not so hard, so maybe I'll give it a try! :)
@@ceecee3181 The listing expires after four months unless you renew it, keep in mind that Etsy charges a transaction fee of 6.5% of the selling price plus the amount charged for shipping costs. It can take some trial and error getting everything set up on the website, figuring out the most efficient size of box and what shipping materials you will need, as well as photos and listing descriptions, not to mention figuring out what you feel is reasonable to charge for the item itself. But, with all that said, it’s worth a shot once you get the ball rolling; there really isn’t much to lose.
My boyfriend overheard my iPad and said “ Oh, sounds like your watching Mia” and continues with “ her mom is the best and makes the videos more enjoyable “ … meanwhile he doesn’t even watch her channel he just always hears them talking while I’m watching videos 😂😂❤❤
For your wrist aches crocheting: try a lighter crochet hook, addi has super light acrylic ones with gold glitter that i love for example! also there are some with ergonomic aka thicker handles. anything that makes you grip everything less tight! also if you have troubles crocheting with the "correct" hook size for a yarn, try going a size or two up, it sounds and looks like you're crocheting super tense so a bigger hook should ease your problems !! good luck on the granny squares !!
@@misseselise3864 yes, sorry i should've specified! also often we grip tighter when the material is more slippery, like metal! so having something with a little bit of texture to grip the yarn, like bamboo, can also be helpful! ya just gotta figure out what it is that makes u grip ur hook with an iron fist haha
Since your comment has a lot of upvotes let me add: - The pencil grip might be easier on your wrist. So if you are using the knife grip you might want to try switching. - Take it easy. It takes time to build up muscles. Stop when you feel pain. - Even though it isn't the quickest method you might want to let your hand that holds the yarn do some more of the work, like the yarn over. This isn't usually recommended because it can slow you down, but it might take some strain off your dominant hand.
Crochet tip: wrist pain is all about the yarn, hook, and posture. Acrylic yarn is a lot stretchier (than cotton specifically) which helps your hand take less strain, like running on a track rather than on concrete. I've found that good hook with a squishy handle helps my right hand cramp less. And, when it comes to posture, I feel less sore when I crochet at a desk in a similar position to typing on a computer. Hunching over not only hurts your back, but it can put your arms into cramped positions that can make you sore.
The edits that Mia does literally KILLS my husband every time!! He is constantly laughing while I'm watching her videos 😆😆 I love it of course too! The literal best!! 😍😍
It’s so funny you say this because my boyfriend says the same, he says she edits like pewdiepie and he thinks it’s hysterical. He doesn’t mind watching Mia with me!
Whenever I'm watching Mia and my fiance is around he's always like "hey it's that funny chick!" and starts watching with me. He won't stop laughing until the end of the video 😂
My boyfriend literally dies watching these videos as well! I love her and her content and he has a new found love for her too lol! Love having someone to laugh with while we watch
I LOOOOOVEEEEE mama maples laughter, especially when she bursts into laughter and it gets kind of gutural, as in min 6:53 ..... it makes me smile and be friends with her!!!! (I'm a 25 y/o guy but I'm such a mom on the inside haha)
When she would jump and turn, I laughed just as hard as her mom each time! It never got old, thank you for the big healthy chuckle. The outfits were really cute on you.
My aunt is a petty big published “design” creator in the crochet community. She’s always willing to help and give tips and tricks. I’d be more than happy to give you her info💗💗💗
As a crochet clothing artist I absolutely love hearing Mia talk about how much she loves and respects the art form!! Also I have tendinitis so I usually wear a soft wrist brace and use thicker crochet hooks to help with that!
When you came out in those fringe pants and were dancing while her eyes were still closed 🤣🤣🤣 I was having such a crappy weekend, but this literally made me go to bed with a smile on my face! I know one day you will get to have your dream of being on Drag Race as a judge, but in the mean time, I hope you keep entertaining us... with LATEX next! Hahaha
Too funny!!😆 My grandma did crochet beautifully but she would have cried her eyes out at the outfits you had on lol Never thought I’d hear ‘crochet’ and ‘chaps’ in the same sentence 😆 Amazing talent for sure!
I love mama Maples she’s such a good sport, she’s traumatized after the pink crochet chaps 🤣 I aspire to be like her and have good relationship with my two little girls.
I have hand issues and found a very helpful tool! It's a small business on Etsy called ChunkyBoyCrochetHook. They hand-make silicone ergonomic grips that you can interchange on different crochet hooks. They seem to have a restock coming up. The ChunkyBoys have definitely helped me be able to crochet more! Also I know you love Etsy too 🖤
I found myself laughing my ass off during the whole video and then suddenly tearing up because there is nothing more beautiful than having your mum as your best friend ❤️ and their relationship makes my heart warm ☺️🥰
The chap set with the donut bag is everything! I noticed your Mom took the donut bag over immediately. You look cute in everything. I think the blue set would be adorable as a bathing suit cover up if you can detach the fringe sleeves without ruining it. I just love you and your Mom together, she's just naturally hilarious. 😂💖💗💖
The last outfit was definitely the most out there one but it actually didn't look that bad. I agree that it would work at a rave or something like that. Your mom has a very awesome laugh it makes me start laughing with her . Thank you for being awesome Peace and love to you and your family 💙💚💙💚💙💚
Here in jamaica back in my days at least in primary school they started teaching us kids how to crochet since the 4th grade. We all started on the granny squares but we call them easy squares and once you master that you move to more advanced techniques. Then we displayed them on heritage day with the other things we spent the year making like embroidery, baskets, belts, bags and other stuff. I'm going to buy some more supplies and start doing those again. Love the video!
I'm curious when you say "back in my days" how long ago do you mean? (My mother didn't get to learn crochet in primary school, so now I'm really interested if your experience was before or after hers 😊)
I just went on a Mia and Momma binge and I just absolutely love your relationship. It reminds me of my mom so much, and I just love seeing real reactions and real connections. Plus she is like a fine wine ♡♡♡
Hahahah you just revived the very old memory of shoving my stuff into a grocery bag and going to sleepovers for the majority of my childhood. I eventually became friends with a girl who was very smart with her allowance and she bought herself a sleepover SUITCASE. So extra. So genius. Her and I became best friends and I got my own suitcase at some point. we would carry SO much stuff to each others houses for 1 or 2 nights lol.
okay but mia's outfits that she wears for videos are always the cutest istg - like the red pants, white shirt and vintage floral corset thingy she was wearing in between the crochet outfits??? SO CUTE
I aspire to become like your mom when I'll have my own kids one day ! How lucky to grow up with such a ray of sunshine of a mother 🥰 Absolutely loved this video ! You go girls ! More crochet ❤🙏 xxx
Girl, I have early onset arthritis so I feel ya. I completely had to stop coloring because of it. I sew and paint and have to wear a wrap wrist band and/or athletic tape on my wrist. I highly recommend athletic tape. It's magic.
Mia…hear me out. The pink chaps outfit is actually amazing on you. Like 11/10. Seriously. Don’t knock it girl. You’ve got it!! It’s out there without any doubt, but you can rock it for sure.
That beach bag is AMAZING!!! I never saw a crochet backpack ever. What a crazy and awesome idea! It would have been interesting to see Stu's reaction to that last one. Your Mom's was hilarious when you turned around.
I LOVE LOVE LOVE your mom!!! She has the sweetest, most unique, and contagious laugh! Anytime she is in one of your videos I have to watch it because I know without a doubt it will lift up my mood. She is the best as are you! The both of you have such a beautiful relationship!
My mom crocheted all my life and when my dad past away, she started making outfits for dolls and barbie's. My sisters and I have caught her falling asleep while crocheting and she finished the dress before she woke up. 😍😍😍
🥺 i love this♥️ seeing Mia been more comfortable on camera.. i remember when she justifed in every try out video the blurred parts.. this makes me happy. Looking beautiful owning your body!! 💛✨
Cutchella 😂❤️ I laughed sooo hard at that part! You guys are so genuine and kind, I love it and we need more people like you in the world… this made my day and I never thought I’d see half the stuff in this video in my entire life haha!
I may be a bit late but I recommend like putting a foam stress ball/tennis ball/ large beauty blender on the hook and holding it makes it really nice on the hand and wrist
The more I binge the more addicted I have become to Mia and Momma Maples this is a great channel I love this little lady she makes me crack a smile every video and she's just so CUTE and REAL, I love that most, the Canadian RUclips Princess that has not let royalty go to her head.
Loved seeing your personality shine through here mia.. I love the dynamic between u and your mum.. just feel good, pure pureness and I'm totally here for it
I’ve been crocheting for about four years; it takes practice for you to keep the same tension throughout the project and consistency is what makes the pattern look nice :) stick with it!
I would love to see you style these in “wearable” looks with some layering / as separates! Like the top of that pink seat is screaming for a white turtleneck and a pink pleated skirt!
In my country there's a company named "ecocitex" that makes yarn from recycled clothes. I think it would be interesting to see you trying to make a crochet outfit out of that yarn!
I absolutely love your mom, she’s the cutest person ever!! 🥺🥰 I always laugh when she’s in a video. 💖✨ Thank you for everything you do Mia, you honestly light up my days. ☺️ Stay safe and keep up with the amazing work you’ve been doing!

When she would jump and turn, I laughed just as hard as her mom each time! It never got old, thank you for the big healthy chuckle. The outfits were really cute on you.
Omg I love how giggly her mom is, so cute
My aunt is a petty big published “design” creator in the crochet community. She’s always willing to help and give tips and tricks. I’d be more than happy to give you her info💗💗💗
Does she have en Etsy? I would love to see what she makes?
Is she petty or pretty big? 😂😂😂😂
As a crochet clothing artist I absolutely love hearing Mia talk about how much she loves and respects the art form!!
Also I have tendinitis so I usually wear a soft wrist brace and use thicker crochet hooks to help with that!
When you came out in those fringe pants and were dancing while her eyes were still closed 🤣🤣🤣
I was having such a crappy weekend, but this literally made me go to bed with a smile on my face! I know one day you will get to have your dream of being on Drag Race as a judge, but in the mean time, I hope you keep entertaining us... with LATEX next! Hahaha
Too funny!!😆 My grandma did crochet beautifully but she would have cried her eyes out at the outfits you had on lol Never thought I’d hear ‘crochet’ and ‘chaps’ in the same sentence 😆 Amazing talent for sure!
“Oh my gosh..”
“That’s one” I died. Mia is so funny!! It’s so nice to see normal functional families with parents that raised their kids with love.
I love mama Maples she’s such a good sport, she’s traumatized after the pink crochet chaps 🤣 I aspire to be like her and have good relationship with my two little girls.
Mia: “I kinda feel like I’m wearing a muppet or something”
Mama Maples: “💡 that’s it!”
😆🤣
I have hand issues and found a very helpful tool! It's a small business on Etsy called ChunkyBoyCrochetHook. They hand-make silicone ergonomic grips that you can interchange on different crochet hooks. They seem to have a restock coming up. The ChunkyBoys have definitely helped me be able to crochet more! Also I know you love Etsy too 🖤
Ooh that sounds so nice! My joints will be thankful
I second this!
Thanks for sharing!
Maybe she should make a crochet video and try new hooks!!
@@user264.xn6qz Good idea!
i just know that wildxdandi was so happy and excited with the amount of pieces mia purchased! wildxdandi deserves it tho they're so talented
I love your mom!! She’s so full of sunshine and brightens up everyone’s day!!! You clearly got that from her😊
Mama Mia is ligit the most supportive, sweet and fun mom I've ever seen and I love love how much she loves and supports Mia!
I found myself laughing my ass off during the whole video and then suddenly tearing up because there is nothing more beautiful than having your mum as your best friend ❤️ and their relationship makes my heart warm ☺️🥰
The chap set with the donut bag is everything! I noticed your Mom took the donut bag over immediately. You look cute in everything. I think the blue set would be adorable as a bathing suit cover up if you can detach the fringe sleeves without ruining it.
I just love you and your Mom together, she's just naturally hilarious. 😂💖💗💖
Mama maples with the marketing tactics re the “fake swimsuit” idea. Love her. Her heart is just so golden.
Her moms laugh is so contagious!!! It makes me giggle inside
I love that Momma Maples has kept the donut purse on the entire time. Y’all are too cute! 💗💗
The last outfit was definitely the most out there one but it actually didn't look that bad. I agree that it would work at a rave or something like that. Your mom has a very awesome laugh it makes me start laughing with her . Thank you for being awesome Peace and love to you and your family 💙💚💙💚💙💚
Mama Maples is a great sport! She laughs at everything and is endlessly supportive. It's nice to see you guys always having fun together.
The finale was everything I needed to make this a good day 😂 Like holy crap it was craziness but I’m also so impressed by the skill of the creator??!
I love how her mom literally gave every thing a ten out of ten.
I love the relationship between you and your mum! Seeing how genuinely happy and how much fun you have together is fantastic viewing! Xx
I love how momma maples immediately stole the donut purse 🤣 That was over her shoulder SO quick! Lol
Here in jamaica back in my days at least in primary school they started teaching us kids how to crochet since the 4th grade. We all started on the granny squares but we call them easy squares and once you master that you move to more advanced techniques. Then we displayed them on heritage day with the other things we spent the year making like embroidery, baskets, belts, bags and other stuff. I'm going to buy some more supplies and start doing those again. Love the video!
I'm curious when you say "back in my days" how long ago do you mean? (My mother didn't get to learn crochet in primary school, so now I'm really interested if your experience was before or after hers 😊)
Mia's heartfelt "thank you!" after being called a piñata is everything I needed right now 😂
😇🤣😅
I'm dying at "you look like a piñata or something" and the genuine thank you Mia gave 😭🤣❤ ok so now I'm going to be a piñata for Halloween 💀
I just went on a Mia and Momma binge and I just absolutely love your relationship. It reminds me of my mom so much, and I just love seeing real reactions and real connections. Plus she is like a fine wine ♡♡♡
Oh wow! That is some extra crochet for sure. Definitely talented people out there. Everything always looks cute on you.
I AM DYING LAUGHING MAMA MAPLES! “I’m hooked on it” 😂😂😂
Momma maples is the cutest🤣
The “piñata” pants look like those spiny things at car washes , respectfully 😂🧍🏽♀️
🤣🤣🤣
Hahahah you just revived the very old memory of shoving my stuff into a grocery bag and going to sleepovers for the majority of my childhood. I eventually became friends with a girl who was very smart with her allowance and she bought herself a sleepover SUITCASE. So extra. So genius. Her and I became best friends and I got my own suitcase at some point. we would carry SO much stuff to each others houses for 1 or 2 nights lol.
okay but mia's outfits that she wears for videos are always the cutest istg - like the red pants, white shirt and vintage floral corset thingy she was wearing in between the crochet outfits??? SO CUTE
The second outfit is so Taylor Swift in her Lover era. I LOOOOVE IT
It reminds me so much of one of the dresses she wore to perform in the rep era
@@Alexia-vi7gp omg yes that os exactly what it reminded me of! The delicate dress
I know right
Momma maples is seriously a marketing genius and I can’t even with her cuteness, she gets a 10/10 for sure.
I aspire to become like your mom when I'll have my own kids one day ! How lucky to grow up with such a ray of sunshine of a mother 🥰 Absolutely loved this video ! You go girls ! More crochet ❤🙏 xxx
mia agressivley twerking in every outfit is making my year better lol
Girl, I have early onset arthritis so I feel ya. I completely had to stop coloring because of it. I sew and paint and have to wear a wrap wrist band and/or athletic tape on my wrist. I highly recommend athletic tape. It's magic.
Mia…hear me out. The pink chaps outfit is actually amazing on you. Like 11/10.
Seriously. Don’t knock it girl. You’ve got it!!
It’s out there without any doubt, but you can rock it for sure.
i'm just seeing pride looks all over this. the fringed pants and top with the hat was SUUUUUCH a good look
That beach bag is AMAZING!!! I never saw a crochet backpack ever. What a crazy and awesome idea! It would have been interesting to see Stu's reaction to that last one. Your Mom's was hilarious when you turned around.
I'm really late but I cant ignore this---> Momma Maple:" you look like a pinata! " MIA: " THANK YOUUUU"
I LOVE LOVE LOVE your mom!!! She has the sweetest, most unique, and contagious laugh! Anytime she is in one of your videos I have to watch it because I know without a doubt it will lift up my mood. She is the best as are you! The both of you have such a beautiful relationship!
So obsessed with Mia and her family!! They are such the sweetest! Also they both have the most gorgeous hair
Mia’s editing is so underrated LOL. the edits alone make me laugh
My mom crocheted all my life and when my dad past away, she started making outfits for dolls and barbie's. My sisters and I have caught her falling asleep while crocheting and she finished the dress before she woke up. 😍😍😍
I love your relationship to your mom. You guys are so silly and wholesome
🥺 i love this♥️ seeing Mia been more comfortable on camera.. i remember when she justifed in every try out video the blurred parts.. this makes me happy. Looking beautiful owning your body!! 💛✨
Your mum is absolutely amazing love her in your vids 😂😂❤️❤️
The fringe dress would make a cute swim suit cover, and love the crochet back pack.
Cutchella 😂❤️ I laughed sooo hard at that part! You guys are so genuine and kind, I love it and we need more people like you in the world… this made my day and I never thought I’d see half the stuff in this video in my entire life haha!
The fact being your Mum is soooo invested makes my heart warm. Especially your Dad. He looks annoyed but he's still there for you. Love it
I may be a bit late but I recommend like putting a foam stress ball/tennis ball/ large beauty blender on the hook and holding it makes it really nice on the hand and wrist
Your sass was at a 10 on this one. We love your mama! Be extra sweet to her.
I think this is the first time ever that Mama Maples has given something less than a 1000 out of 10. I'm so shocked! lol
Mia: “It’s the Wild Wild West”
Flashes Mama Maple DEAD🤣🤣🤣
The more I binge the more addicted I have become to Mia and Momma Maples this is a great channel I love this little lady she makes me crack a smile every video and she's just so CUTE and REAL, I love that most, the Canadian RUclips Princess that has not let royalty go to her head.
Loved seeing your personality shine through here mia.. I love the dynamic between u and your mum.. just feel good, pure pureness and I'm totally here for it
I’ve been crocheting for about four years; it takes practice for you to keep the same tension throughout the project and consistency is what makes the pattern look nice :) stick with it!
I would love to see you style these in “wearable” looks with some layering / as separates! Like the top of that pink seat is screaming for a white turtleneck and a pink pleated skirt!
MIA YOU HAVE TO DO ONE OF THESE BUT HAVE STUART REACT ! I’m sure he would’ve loved the chaps 😂
Loved the video!!! You and your mom have such a wonderful relationship. So fun to watch how you guys react with each other
You and your mom are total mom relationship goals
I wish my mom liked me & wanted to hang out with me like this❤
You’re so blessed
In my country there's a company named "ecocitex" that makes yarn from recycled clothes. I think it would be interesting to see you trying to make a crochet outfit out of that yarn!
You’re so naturally stunnnninggggggg and even better- funny. AND even better - KIND! We love to see it.
I absolutely love your mom, she’s the cutest person ever!! 🥺🥰 I always laugh when she’s in a video. 💖✨ Thank you for everything you do Mia, you honestly light up my days. ☺️ Stay safe and keep up with the amazing work you’ve been doing!
So much rump shaking in this video! Poor Mamma Maples! I love it!
U and ur mom talking about how to say Coachella had me crying and saying it right with u😂😂😂😂😂❤️❤️🌺🌺
