My kids are a gift but they are annoying 😂😂😂 And this is why you’re the most relatable person online … simply the best
Agreed ❤
SO annoying!🤣
To all the mama’s!! It’s no joke how hard parenting is. Kayla you always make it real.. we love you for that ❤
I appreciate how real and honest you are about being a mom. Sometimes I get overwhelmed with one and feel like I wouldn’t know how to handle 2 kids but you made me really emotional, especially the part of you saying that the more kids you have the better version of a mother they get. ❤ thanks for sharing. You’re making me want another baby 🥰
When you were talking about sometimes feeling bad about the third getting more hand me downs or less new stuff and sometimes feeling guilty for that - but then realizing that he is getting the best version of mom 🥰🥰 got me in the feels! I’m due with number three next month and have been fighting that same dichotomy. It was so nice to hear another mama on the other side validate and soothe that worry! You’re doing great mama! ❤❤
Highly recommend for outings for Joe with the kids trying a trampoline park during the day while big kids are in school. Also Florida is pretty good with indoor play areas!
Yep that 2 week thing is sooo accurate! I remember thinking with my 2nd wow he sleeps so well. 2 week mark hit and hasn't slept well since 😂
Thank you for mentioning Maui. My husband’s grandma’s house was lost in the fire, and we’re all devastated.
But as mentioned by others, you can definitely tell the level of confidence you’ve gained in this new season of motherhood! So happy for you and your Ohana!
Aloha always!

I find the not knowing what's wrong with my kid extremely frustrating/heartbreaking. In my heart I really wanted another baby, but my mental health could not endure that again (my youngest is 2.5 years old, but due to autism he is still not able to properly communicate what upsets him). I want you to know that I am rooting for you guys and totally invested. The other day I cried really hard when you mentioned your baby girl acting out, because the feelings of that happening to my oldest really came back to my memory. One day I was soooo sleep deprived dealing with a colicky baby on my own that I lost my patience with him and spoke to him harshly. He cried so hard and between cries he said "why did you used to love me when I was 4 and now that I'm 5 you don't love me anymore" I totally lost it 😭 I apologized to him and went out of my way to never let it happen again.
I want you to know you and your beautiful family have my support through my prayers. The Lord will get you through this rough bump❤
About to have my third baby in December. We homeschool and I work part time from home as well. I feel like every video you post is preparing me 😂 you are seriously such an inspiration! You have been posting still so consistently, you should be so proud of yourself. Go mama! ❤
How do you manage to home school and work from home 😮. I tried working with my toddler at home for 1 day when she was unwell and I got NOTHING done! She wanted attention constantly x
I would recommend some shows for you to watch but I only watch crappy reality tv shows like love island uk (it’s on Hulu) and real housewives and summer house. Thanks for this amazing vlog. It makes me feel so normal to hear you discuss the reality of motherhood. I loved your thrive and Walmart hauls. You’re so relatable and so honest and your family is so sweet. Jackson saying he wants to keep Sean forever is precious. Sending love!
Outlander was my show with my 3rd baby. That's when I discovered it... I spent many sleepless nights watching that show with captions
I loved listening to you talk about how kids are a gift and then saying yes they’re annoying🤣 I feel that so much right now with my almost 2 year old haha
Indoor play rooms were always a hit when mine were little! We had one that had all kinds of stuff, play kitchen, jungle gym, train table, Lego table, it was amazing!!! They also had a coffee bar for the parents, which was a bonus!
Thank you for the reminder to be grateful for even the things that we think are small.
I always feel bad about complaining about pregnancy because I am thankful for the gift of having a baby, it’s a blessing, and it is a special time. But wow… it was 90% awful. I was sick nearly every day for 9 months, extremely uncomfortable nearly every day of it, exhausted, frustrated at work, etc. And then the birth was traumatizing and scary for both of us. Then we didn’t sleep for weeks/months…
But having a toddler is AMAZING! We get full-night sleeps, and we have fun every day. Lots of work, but rewarding.
Keep it up, Kayla! You’re doing an amazing job x3!
Kayla you’re doing so well! Sending you all love and prayers. ❤
I used to think you were her mom 😭
Sometimes is very hard when they cry and you don't know what wrong them , it breaks my heart. Kayla watch Suits , it was one of the best show
You are definitely full of the Holy Spirit to be able to go to Walmart (in Miami) with 3 kids and call it a success 😂
In all honestly, what a beautiful perspective! Thank you for sharing ❤
I think this perfect looking vlogs with newborns always sleeping and everything is perfect, isnt that realistic. For most people thats not reality at all.
I love that you go through googly eyes really fast 😂 gotta love it
I've heard a lot of people saying that, how the first 2 weeks are fine and then things get harder 🙈 I'm currently 38 weeks pregnant with our first baby so love seeing these kind of videos 🥰💕
No offense at all please don’t take this the wrong way but with one baby it’s SOOOOO EASY given that you and baby are good and healthy hopefully but when it’s just you and baby it’s JUST you two you have way much more time on your hands , when you have more than one kid you will understand so hopefully you don’t take it for granted take it slowly enjoy time seriously I wish someone would’ve told me when I had my first that it’s just sooooo easy with just one baby ahhhh I say don’t take it wrong cuz people sometimes take the wrong thing up the ass like I’m really saying this in a good way when you have one baby yoh can really just let time go slowly and enjoy every moment once you have more kids well now you taking care of a newborn and a toddler and yourself and the house and your husband and anything else it gets WAY more hectic you get what I’m saying idk hope you do good luck you got this god bless
@@citlalliyepez5379ummm, no. Stop u dermining that 1 vs 2 or 1 vs 3 is easy so one shouldn’t stress or worry??? 1 is hard as well.
@@citlalliyepez5379as a mom of almost 4 now, I totally know what you're getting at. However...going from none to one is a very big and new transition. First time being a mom..everything is new. It's a lot.
Thanks so much for being so real and honest! Really helps us mums 💓 xx
You can watch sweet tooth! Def binge worthy!! You would like it.. about family love 💕 little Sean is adorable thank you for sharing in this hard time
I took my toddler to the library yesterday and found some major gems that they had for sale. I got over 20 educational programs for 10 cents a piece. I also got a book all about Wisconsin. I want to purchase a book for each state. I have about 7 books on different states. Ann Heinriches did a whole series if your interested in looking for them at the library when it comes that time to teach Geography. Great attitude and perspective. Kids don't remember clothes and material things, they remember moments spent. Hand me downs= more money for other necessities/savings for the future. I really hope that your nail habits rubs off on me. I have SO much nail polish, but rarely paint my own nails. Sean's new outfits are so adorable 😍 ❤. Is Joe enjoying being home?
Yep after two weeks is the worst! But it got better little by little every week by 3 months we had settled into a routine. Hang in there! ❤
I was less stressed with number 3 too. You’re doing amazing❤ I had two boys and then a girl. So my middle gets all the hand me downs 😅
I agree ! Yur super chill. Looks like motherhood makes people more patient! And for the next 18 years u don’t have to have a perfectly picked up house 🤪
Kayla… a couple of tips that helped me and hope will help (if you’re financially able):
Instacart everything (or other online ordering for groceries, Walmart, Target…)
Dixie cups, paper plates and disposable utensils to lessen dishes
Drop-off wash-and-fold for your laundry (I’m sure there are businesses in Miami where they even pick up from you and drop off after.)
I know things can add up because new babies are expensive enough. But you’re exhausted and deserve some relief❤
Once he outgrows swaddling, I recommend the long nightgowns. I LOVED putting my son in those because I just pushed his gown up when I needed to change his diaper. Easy peesy
The Rookie on Hulu has been my obsession with the new baby nursing sessions😂👍
I totally get the wanting less stimulation for yourself, but I can’t recommend enough allowing noise to be present more often than not with a newborn who struggles to stay asleep in a nap! When I had my second, my oldest always played rough and loud in our very small rental and I’d have music playing and just all the things and it really helped for my baby to sleep through the noise. You’re doing such an amazing job Kayla and your kids are so beautiful. God bless🤍
Congrats on the baby Sean dnt worry it's better with time. It's even harder when you're a single parent, with no support all alone. God is with you all is well. ❤❤❤❤
Yep so hard
Bless you for this video, I was starting to get broody but its convinced me to sit tight for another 6 months with my 4 year old and 1 year old. 😂
Lol I'm following as my 1st born is now 2 weeks old. Not far behind you with a newborn and the guessing game is very relatable! 😂
Morning!!! I’ve had super fussy babies and it took 4 kids to try skin to skin when they’re fussy! Don’t know if it will work but worth a try!! Sending prayers!❤
I only have my almost 13 month old and not planning on having more 😂
But I love how you mentioned that subsequent kids get a better version of you. That's something to think about!
My babies were super chill newborns ❤ sleeping all the time and feeding every 2-3 hours
Up to 3 months they were sleeping most of the time 😂🥰
Suits is amazing! When I was listening to you ask what to watch I thought suits then you asked if it was any good 😂. I am in season 5 of suits and it is still as good as season 1. I have 3 kids too a 5 year old girl 3 year old boy and a 1 year old boy. The newborn phase with my 1 year old was really tough, he was a really fussy baby and managing the other two was stressful but it will get easier and it looks like you are doing a great job!
This happened to me too with my second like purple crying. Also I went dairy free that’s helped a ton!! You are doing well mama! 🤍🤍🫶🏽
“We are running out of my favorite snacks” lol I love Riley! Watching ur videos makes me so emotional because when I first got pregnant I used to BINGE watch all your videos like “I wanna be her when I grow up!” Lol and I’m 38 so that says a lot! Netflix has some good documentaries not sure if you guys are into sports but Untold swamp kings is really good (we are UM fans so watching the Gators while we live in Orlando feels like tremendo betrayal lol), also Quaterbacks is good, Painkiller was very good too that was like 8 episodes of not less. If you guys have Apple TV Blackbird is good too, invasion season 2 started this week so you can binge watch season one, Ted Lasso is great it’s 30 min episodes and you will laugh so much!
rileys comment on the toothbrush and hair. im dead 😂😂😂
I'm 10 weeks postpartum with our first. I'm loving this time with him but am struggling with the anxiety of leaving the house with the baby on my own (we've done neighborhood walks and one trip to the pediatrician just the two of us). Like if he needs something while we're out, can I juggle it? I've been trying to build up the confidence,/motivation to go the grocery store with him alone, for example. Like what if he has a blow out in the middle of shopping with a full cart or just won't stop crying. Friday's were my grocery days pre baby so I'm thinking I'll use this video as my push to try today. Thank you
Yesssssssss!!! I love this!!!!! ^_^ you’re rocking this momma!!! Just remember it’s tough the first year then the kids actually get pretty cool after that lol!!! Sending you guys all my love!!!🥰🥰🥰🥰
Right?! The first year is so hard and constantly changing lol. My 4th baby is 5 months and I’m like ok I remember it stays pretty difficult until they are one!!!
@@clairesanders1456 yesssss! Anytime anyone says “it can’t be that bad” I’m like it’s not only the first year lol like every month of that year you never know what can happen lol
Yep it only lasts two weeks and then it’s over LOL UGH! Just had my 4th baby. Well 5 months ago now. But the first two weeks they sleep and sleep. And then it begins! Colic etc. so hard!!!! We had to wear her in a carrier for months. Mostly my husband because I took forever to heal!Hang in there. You are doing amazing. This is exactly what it looks like and you’re not alone!You guys are a team and will survive this season ❤❤
I love your content, so relatable and real 🤍🤍🤍
Can’t believe you watch outlander!
It’s my favourite show and everyone I tell to watch it never does 😂
Hilarious… I was typing SUITS and then you said it. Love it ❤
Start documenting what you are seeing from his patterns during the days. Do this for around 5 to 9 days. Watch for a natural pattern he is doing. Then you work around that. I didn’t do that till my 2nd and it worked. I was getting rest and stuff done. Plus baby was napping appropriately and wasn’t constantly on me nursing.
Thank you for all you share! God bless you & your family! 💖 I have a newborn as well (almost 2 weeks) and your content is really helpful! You & your family are so sweet!
It could still be colic. You can gently heat one of his cotton blankets and wrap around his belly over his clothes for relief. There’s also probiotics gas drops that help the baby relax and push out what ever is stuck in there. For my son colic started at the 1 month mark and lasted till 4 months.
Thank you Kayla u really encouraged me to have patient with my little one
"I can see you getting mad dude, lets stay happy just a little bit longer.."
Ah yes. The secret parents national anthem...😊
I feel like I’m not alone in this newborn madness😅 I also am on my 3rd and my 2 yr old is so clingy ever since I gave birth. It’s been a challenge for sure!
For one of my pregnancies I had a lot of milk production, but I took every time that I had available to pump so my clothing won’t get dirty and for the spit up I will always have small towels or something that I don’t use no more for the spit ups
I think these newborn vlogs with Sean have been fun lately I have really enjoyed going through pregnancy with you and watching your videos and seeing the other two kids seeing how cute Jackson is with Sean now that was absolutely adorable cuz I know Jackson seem to be like a new baby I don't like this so much but he was so cute today
My husband has been obsessed with the show suits! Lol 😆 i dont really like it but he watches it when im on youtube watching videos lol
My kids drive me totally insane and annoy me constantly lol. But I couldn’t be without it. As much as they are pains In the butt oh my goodness I just can’t imagine life without those pain in the butts lol. My children are my world and my everything. And like messages above. You are so relatable and just normal not like so many of these other fake nuts.
Thank you so much for sharing ❤
Postpartum with my first I binge watched The Office.. second child I binge watched "The Waltons" its an older show but so wholesome and peaceful 😅 These days Im watching Friends for the gazillionth time 🫣🤷♀️ P.S. Boobie Body protein powder is life! 🙌 The chocolate and caramel coffee flavors are so yummy and it's filling!
Thank you for your “word vomit” 😅 baby number 4 will be here in a few weeks and i hope im also chill this time around.
Omg baby #4 !!! Good luck girl but you done this 3 times now you totally got this omg I just imagine it’s gonna be sooo crazy and hectic tho 😩 I’m due w baby number 3 in October I’m only 23 my 2 toddlers are super crazy and energetic I’m so nervous and don’t feel ready at all but I know everything will be fine I become better and better each time as I learn and pray more and more and god answers my prayers but I’m sooo nervous I don’t feel ready at all oh gosh
Disneyworld has bracelets that you get and they track animals like a polar bear, sea turtle, penguin and several others! I saw it in a WDW personal shopper group I’m in! I thought maybe Jackson and Riley might think that’s fun!! The group is “shop the magic”
Hi Kayla, congratulations on your new babe! Have you tried the up and up brand of dreft detergent it's a miracle on stains 😊
That always happens to happen to me with my three kids. After the two weeks they start waking up at night.
Suits! Just started watching a couple weeks ago so good!
Loving your vlogs!
I recommend Grey's Anatomy. Yes, it's longer. But listen, it's literally one of the greatest drama series ever. If you like romance, drama, science, comedy. I highly recommend, and that should definitely keep you busy, its also not too violent yes obviously there is gore. But it's because they're surgeons obviously. 😂❤🏥
First off Sean is sooo freaking cute! Like Gerber baby cute❤. But yes I'm watching Suits nd it so binge worthy! I'm on the last season nd it's only been three weeks
Kayla, you should try the hair wax for the fly-away hairs
I'm expecting my 5th and actually feel so relieved that we don't have to start all over as far as baby stuff. Especially with this dag on inflation. 😅
Suits is old… it was on cable tv and now that it’s on Netflix, it’s had a resurgence lol. Really good show, but it drops off the last couple of seasons.
I really like watching Virgin River
Need to pump ! It will help with leaking just pump while he asleep. Just for 4-5 minutes. Also try the sleep machine .white noise !
Suits is old but definitely the best. Love Harvey.
Try gripe water! Sometimes it’s mild colic and that stuff works wonders 🙏🏻
He is so so cute. I love a newborn so so much.
The last kingdom was binge worthy for me.
I love the show Gilmore girls. Heartland.
Thank you for making these videos
Are you okay? Is your area under storm warning watch? Be safe❤
Just curious Why don't you guys shop at Costco ? I feel like a lot of the stuff you buy you can get from Costco and it comes in bulk at a better price than from thrive like the healthier snacks and things like that 😊
GOOD morning!!! Thank you for being so genuine and I can relate to all those feeling a hot mess. On this journey together❤ blessings from Texas- where it is also ridiculously Hot 😢
I like this happy Kayla 🤍
Love your videos❤
No one can schedule a newborn no matter how hard they try. They have no circadian rhythm. Every sleep until they're two months old is just a nap. My 6 and a half weeker is still completely random. And he still eats every one to three hours. And I am not going to even try to shift it for another two weeks.
P.S. commenting at 3am while nursing my newborn
Feedings, awake time, sleep times, even diaper changes.
Beautiful perspective!
Girl you got me chocked up when you said about the second plus kids don’t get the new items but a better version of a mom. Ooof🥲 that is soooo true❤️ I sometimes feel bad my second kid doesn’t have all the new things and gets all of older brothers even underwear but he doesn’t know since his about to be 2 but I sure am more patient with him because my first was really hard and sometimes still is at almost 4
we enjoy sweet magnolias!!
Good morning thanks for the blog.. Sean is sooo cute.. 💙… god bless your beautiful family of five..🥰
for your leaking problem, I found out that suction cups during feeding time work great, also, Elvie has one (Elvie curve) that you use on the bra itself so you can have them put on any time without being afraid that it will fall off and save your bra and boobies from always being wet. Pus these things collect the milk and you can store it after! I did not need to use a pump, just a suction cup was more than enough.
Hi everyone! My daughter is two years old. I would like to bring her to library but I’m a little overwhelmed. I don’t know what book for topic to look at?
Watch suits!!
You should get those bamboo reusable nursing pads to put in your bra. Those were a life saver for me with the boob leaking lol. I loved that I could just wash them every week rather than continuously buying the disposable ones. I just bought a pack of like 32 or something so it could last me about 8 days and then I’d wash them in the little teeny tiny laundry bag it came with so they all stay together.
Happy Valley, Trapped, Shetland, Wisting, Atlantic Crossing, Fauda, Line of Duty....
Babies have nightmares after everything they go trough in labor, it is normal in the first month or two that they gave these episodes you are talking about ❤
Suits is very good❤
I understand when you say you are over stimulated with all the noise. The baby may feel the same way. When my son was born, I would tell my daughter she had to use her indoor voice inside the house. I got that from Barney. Lol, I’m dating myself. When playing outside, they can yell and scream, but not inside the house. This may help.
Sending prayers and sending lots of love
I’ve been watching manifest it has 4 seasons and I’ve started watching watching ugly Betty both on Netflix.
Look up the purple cry ❤ your doing great
Aww hes.so.cute i.was less.stressed.with 3rd to.i think its not as overwhelming coz ur jus used to the noise an the crazyness lol xx
