The reason I started following you is because you are so down to earth, you don’t put on a show for us and you’re doing the best you can with what you have. THAT’S inspirational! Veganism, no chemichals and workout routines in all their glory but that’s not the reality for many of us. Thank you for putting positive notes on every day life for ”normal” people 😊😊
Karen thank you for this comment! I absolutely admire all the ladies who do those things, but it’s just not me right now! So happy you took the time to tell me this AND to watch the video. 🥰😍
I don’t normally leave comments but seeing you upset made me want to say I love your videos because you’re SO real and genuine. I’m sure there is a huge weight on your shoulders by putting your life out there but just know that you are touching the lives of so many of us “everyday women” that also don’t have it all together but love life anyways 😊
Alexa Achberger isn’t that the truth! No one has it all together I think... thank you so much for your support and for taking the time to leave this comment :) ☺️
I like how real you are. All those female RUclipsrs you’re talking about don’t even show 90% of their life. All of them are exactly the same and are not relatable at all. You’re so different from them, you’re one of RUclips’s gems🥰❤️
I always wanted to be get married young and become a homemaker. But the society i live find it kinda degrading. I was thought that I should go to university and postpone marriage until my 30's. Which was never the kinda life I wanted to live. But i was so happy when I found your channel. I didn't felt alone anymore cause I found another beautiful woman who shares the same values and interests as me.
islandgirlxx Hey if you can find a husband to support you, marry young and be a homemaker, then go for it. But to have that as your only goal, might not be so optimal.
+Naiane Being a homemaker wasn't my only goal in life though. After highschool I wanted to go to beautyschool which is only 2 years where I live. But in highschool I always got high grades in math and physics. So my teachers told me that it's better for me to study something to do with these subjects. Then I would have a "secure" future. And that's exactly what I did. I study mechanical engineering and eventhough I graduated I actually didn't want to study this at all. The job does pay good but it can be very stressful.
Nothing wrong with that..it's just that it's not really in the economy to do that..you man has to be really rich for u to afford it. Besides I'm pretty sure you'll get tired of being a homemaker..at home all day?
You are like a princess taken from a Disney movie. Beautiful, sweet and hard worker. I love how down to earth you are. Love from the Dominican Republic :)
Hun, don't feel stressed about people judging you about not being "all-natural" etc! Most people I know don't have the time or resources to live a fully "green" and vegan life, even though they want to. As someone who is interested in living a more green lifestyle, I actually get really stressed watching those "perfectly green" youtubers because it seems so unattainable for my personal situation. I've felt much more inspired and motivated by your channel and don't forget that doing things like baking bread and other food items from scratch, thrift shopping, etc is a much more healthy alternative to buying "green products", which often times are just tricky marketing tactics anyways!
Wow the fact your tall makes me really happy. I’ve always been so insecure about my height and thought I was too big and that it made me masculine. The fact a tall woman like you can be so feminine gives me a boost of encouragement x
Yay! Tall and feminine team here too! I used to hate it when I was younger and less confident, but now I LOVE it and even wear heels! I think being tall is very beautiful, especially when you carry yourself with grace.
I’m 5’9.5” and I used to be somewhat insecure about being taller than men, I never wore heels even though I love them. Now I love wearing heels, regardless of the fact that European men (who I live around now) are usually far shorter than the men I grew up around!
I'm 5'8 and don't feel like that's tall at all. I've seen girls in public that make me feel like a munchkin. I think they look so beautiful, it's sad because they too probably feel insecure.
I have been LOVING your videos. I had gotten to the point where I felt almost embarrassed and I was being shamed because I am feminine and I do have some traditional feminine rolls in my marriage. People would ask me why I was so dressed up when I would wear a dress, make fun of me for being a housewife and always wanting to be home before my husband was home so I could have supper ready for him, etc. I am from a family where the women are not feminine at all. I ended up going back to work because people made me feel so unappreciated and like I wasn’t good enough for my husband because I wasn’t working and he was working 2 jobs. Watching your videos has really helped me realize that being feminine and being a housewife and wanting to care for my husband is a gift and not something people can shame me for. So now I work, but only 4 days a week. I do love my job and I do enjoy helping financially even though it’s not much. It has given us some wiggle room. I am home before my husband gets home so I can tidy the house and cook something for supper, and I still get to spend a lot of time with him. I also wear dresses and skirts proudly and I don’t care what people think of me for “dressing up” on just any old day. I have gotten so many tips from you that make me feel so much more confident. Thank you so much! 💕 I have also gotten into thrift shopping more and I was shocked to find so many cute maxi skirts and dresses and home decor. 😍 I don’t feel bad buying things for myself when it’s all at the thrift store under $5. 😍
No one has it all together, people will always be judgy,and the best thing about getting older is you are no longer concerned about what others think, instead you are concerned about what God and your spouse thinks.
I love that you don’t fake it! When you said your favorite store was Wal-Mart, I instantly knew your videos would be comfortable to watch (I get judged for shopping there). So thank you for not editing that clip out! 💗
Absolutely love you! I was living a very feminist lifestyle when I stumbled upon one of your videos. I watched it with a bit if hesitation, but I felt a need within me to watch it. Since then, I've been hooked! You inspire me to embrace my femininity and become the woman I was born to be! And wear more dresses! I love your style. You should do an outfits of the week video or maybe showcase some if your favorites!
I don’t usually write comments, but I just wanted to say that you’re very relatable. You’re not putting on a show for us to watch, and that is so refreshing. So, thank you! Also, your joyful spirit is infectious!
I like that you aren’t someone who has to have all vegan (or whatever other thing) everything, or all organic and natural, etc.! I enjoy hearing about any products you use! On another note, many people don’t realize that maintaining and creating a clean and wonderful home is often a full time job if you want to have a balanced/healthy life! You are my homemaking inspiration!
I love your authenticity. It has been so refreshing and encouraging to find that there are actual homemakers out there! Stay-at-home-moms are rare, but housewives are even more rare! It can feel lonely as a housewife living in California (one of the most progressive states in the nation) but when I found your videos, I was so happy to know there are others out there that have chosen the housewife life! God bless you and your beautiful family 🧡
I love your videos; your traditional homemaking videos and you are doing a great job and educating us women who want to be housewifes someday how to live on a budget. Thank you. We appreciate you. You're the best! There's a lot of women who want to be housewifes - so you teach how to shop on a budget. I am also very sensitive so I understand you - a lot of women are emotional.
I was just having a panic attack due to some future events and I was so lost, scared, wishing I could just sleep until the attack ends. BUT THEN, I saw the notification from you and I felt so much better because I remembered how good you and your energy are to my soul and mind. Thank you, Caitlin ❤️May God bless all of this beautiful comunity that cultivates such healthy and good values.
yvi i I am so sorry you are experiencing such fear and anxiety! Thank you for spending your time with me today! I will be praying for you to find peace. ☺️
I completely understand how emotional homemaking can be. I have been a stay at home mom since mid September in 2017. I was pregnant with my first born and couldn't work just as a cashier anymore even though I still had 3 months to go. My mom was a stay at home mom when I was growing up and wanted to do the same with my children. I have two boys now. It can get super lonely, stressful, and I get really emotional about not helping my husband financially. I get super embarrassed telling people I am a stay at home mom, but I wouldn't have it any other way. I have found so many new skills that I didn't know I had. I still struggle with trying to figure out my purpose other than changing diapers and cleaning and cooking all day. The few videos I have watched so far has really helped me be more confident in myself. I have thought about making my own vlog/blog but always feel like my house is too dirty because my toddlers wreck it everyday LOL and I am usually pretty shy.
I’d like to say that you are such an inspiration to me and you’ve motivated me to dig deeper into my own femininity and I am so grateful for your videos and advice! 💛
7:54 No, please don't be embarrassed or sad. I love your authenticity! You're a beautiful young woman with a lovely personality! You make the simple things in life look so beautiful!
I can't stop watching your videos because how much I appreciate how real and balanced you are. I never feel like what you are saying is unachievable or unrealistic! I leave here refreshed instead of drained, inspired instead of confused. Thank you for what you are putting out here on RUclips 😊
First of all.... I'm not bragging about my minimalist live (or should we call my poverty life 😂) It's summer but in the morning we have cold freezing temperatures here in Depok City (Indonesia) and I must wash my laundry by hand with only use bucket, in my bathroom, because I don't have washing machine I also wash my dishes in the bucket...in my bathroom (I know it sound gross but it the only option I have) But you know what.... I'm happy and grateful.... because there's sometimes that we we don't have water around the house Katelyn.....here we are... building our community, with lots of women from different countries, different backgrounds, different religions, different character, different economy status. We united here because we share some value that we are agree, we support each others, we encourage each others, we share stories and suddenly we don't felt alone anymore And you started this community Katelyn! And thank you for that Laundry, cooking, cleaning, errand, we do it in different ways but so what? It's nobody concern to tell me how should I spray my windows 😂 Anyway....the only thing that I envy from you it's your giant coffee cup! If only my stomach allow me to drink that much coffee 😥😥😥 Girl you are so lucky 😁 Much love for you and other feminine sister....have a blessed day you all 😗😘
Indah Wulandari Oh how I want to give you a hug from Texas! Your comment is exactly the reason I love her channel. She is endearing and so are precious ladies like you who continually make me feel like I have sisters around the world.
Seeing how humbly and real you live relieved my anxiety of thinking I have to live like I have to keep up with all the current trends. Thank you for letting us look into your life, home, and how you live it's really relaxing and calming.
Awww Cait. If you feel comfortable and loved in your homemaking that is all that matters. People who hate don't live your life and don't/will never understand how happy you are in your journey of wholesomeness! We love you!
I really appreciate the emotional honesty, I get really overwhelmed about people’s judgements too. I’m a stay at home mom and I feel a lot of pressure to be happy for my husband and kids because my moods seem to really really affect all of them good or bad.
I'm 18 and learning about being traditional in this modern world, you are very very few of them who can teach me this, and please don't care about others, because for me everything you do, everything you use, the way you speak, is the only way I can learn 😊 I'm sure there are many young girls like me wanting to grow up to be a women like you.
I’m not even half way through your video and it has made me feel better about being a house wife. In this modern world we get a lot of hateful comments. So I constantly have to remind myself that who cares because at the end of the day this is my happiness and my “safe spot”. So thank you for sharing this❤️
I appreciate how genuine you are. I could care less what products you use. We need to support each other instead of judging each other. You are a beautiful kind woman. I enjoy your channel and love hearing your perspective on homemaking.
It takes a lot of courage to be your true self and then put that true self out there for the masses. Those that mind, don't matter - those that matter, don't mind. I love your content!
Please don’t cry! People hate my cleaning because I use a lot of bleach and they think my OCD is obsessive, but I don’t care! ESP now that we are in the middle of a pandemic and my husband is a healthcare professional. I love your channel! Literally you channel is helping me become a better wife. I’ve been using your tips and tricks and my husband and I are working better as a team! A multi-purpose cleaner I love us pledge in the blue bottle plus it smells so good!!!
8:20 you add a lot of value to your viewers and your content is high quality. Thats the more important thing. Also, not everyone is going to be a vegan, chemical-less, live in an antiseptic bubble being. Most people dont live this way and still lead very quality, productive lives. You are so fabulous🥳 and that's why I watch you 💕
You’re literally such an inspiration to me!! Thanks to watching you I finally had the courage to tell my parents that after I get my college degree I would prefer to get my grooming certificate rather than go to dental school and they accepted it far better than I thought they would and a huge weight has been lifted off my shoulders! I would have been stressing about my future for the next year if I hadn’t found encouragement in your videos!
Hello from the UK! I just wanted to say, I came across your channel yesterday and truly I found it so refreshing. You are being your true authentic self and encouraging women to be their authentic selves also and I think you are wonderful. Thank you for sharing your life and all the tips.
I love how you got some fresh air and had your moment. I don’t know why, but I think a lot of people don’t want to feel bad at all. You just got yourself together and that was so inspiring.
Bless your heart. We are under construction our entire lives. I’m 60 and still learning, thank God. I stopped watching several RUclips channels that I used to love because of their unattainable “perfection.” It takes all kinds to make up this world. You’re more of a realist and there are tons of us out here. Keep doing what you’re doing. Apparently it’s working. You’re channel is growing fast. These are my favorite types of videos. You are wise beyond your years.
Girl, here's some hugs! It's an emotional time I feel for a lot of us women right now. The pressure to be the latest and greatest and perfect is definately taking its toll. Your videos inspire me to bring out the more feminine and simplistic side of me. I adore the fact that you eat like "us normal folk" and buy what you need and use, and it's not always the brand name that is needed! Much love to you Cailyn! (Hope I didn't spell it wrong!)
Sometimes when I’m having a stressful time I come back and watch your old vlogs. They are so peaceful and warm and it motivates me to do some homemaking ❤️
Well you inspired me , because your home doesnt look like a luxury image but more like a " home" if that make sense? Because youre natural and have this lovely energy so down to earth !! You remind me of my mom actually. So thanks for inspiring me to be just enough and not putting pressure on my self to be over materialist. Because thats cleary not what life is for! Sending u lot of love to you and your charming litle familly❤
Sweetheart....you are SUCH an inspiration and joyful light......(and this is coming from someone who's old enough to be your mother!) so please know how much we love your willingness and courage to put yourself out there on a public forum like this. (There will always be critics and unkind words unfortunately at times, no matter what you say or do.) So please just see that rubbish as just noise, and continue being the bright and beautiful soul that you are!! 😊💗
You're one of my favorite RUclipsrs! God sees all that you've done to help young women discover who they can be as a woman! You DON'T have to have it all tgt. God's got it all together! And ppl who enjoy your channel as it is won't care what products you use! Love you!!
My husband works nights right now too. It's so hard to be quiet especially with a baby! But I'm so grateful he sleeps like a log! Edit:Girl don't worry about others! Everyone have opinions! I don't RUclips but just in regular conversation people still judge me! Show us what you want it's your life and not anyone else's!
Ugh, this lifestyle 🥰 simple, slow, quality life. love the amount of alone time you have even though you are married, what a nice balance. You’re a breath of fresh air. Thank you for sharing and inspiring 💕
I really love and am inspired by your content :) I watched quite a lot of your videos and I have to admit that I started to see you as one of those "perfect" persons, too, who have it all together. Now I am relieved you are a human like me! That you have been stressed because of worrying how people might react to your vlog and you even shared that with us just makes you so much more lovable and adorable! All the power to you, charming lady! Have a blessed day :)
I am going to make butter now my lovely sister! Your genuineness shines through and you are a light to those around you! A hair tutorial would be much loved!
You bring such an amazing and heavenly atmosphere! 😊 Don't tear up because of what some people may think, you are gorgeous, real and sweet! The best wishes to you and your family!
I found you cuz some mean girls were making fun of you and being unkind. I'm so glad to be introduced and it's a good lesson to remember that if people are mean they just might be jealous 💗
You are so so sweet, and I am growing to love your channel more and more with every video. Please don't change the content or feel disheartened by what others may think. You are changing lives, inspiring women, and the glory of God is shining through you!
No matter what you do there will always be people who say negative things, but there will also be overwhelmingly more positive. It is crucial to focus on the positive and stay firmly who you are realizing that is why people watch your channel..
Listen, I love a good vegan vlog as much as the next person but I watch your vlogs for different reasons. They're so cozy and cottagecore and really help you appreciate the little things in life. I put them on when I can't sleep and just feel so peaceful❤
I love how relatable you are, using real products and thrifting to save money. You’re an inspiration and a great example for young women. You’ve inspired me in many ways and I’m grateful for your videos.
I love watching your videos and you inspire me so much. I know it’s easier said than done, but just brush off the shaming comments. For some people being vegan and natural is what works for them, but for many of us it doesn’t work. I still drink cows milk and cook with regular flour instead of almond flour, I use Clorox wipes and pine sol when cleaning my kitchen. We can’t please everyone. You have a huge following of women who love your style of living and support you. I get so excited when I get the notification that you posted a new video. Don’t let anyone bring you down or make you think twice about posting a video. Your true followers and supporters love YOU for who YOU are.
Sending you so much love! I am also a very emotional person and I know what it's like to not only be upset but then also feeling guilty that you're so emotional about things. Keep on keeping on! We love your content!!
Kaitlyn, don't even give a second thought about what people are going to think about your life style .The fact that you are so genuine ,makes you a literal gem . We love you .❤
Seeing your couch made me so happy. So many RUclipsrs have such perfect homes that it makes me feel totally inadequate. It’s nice to see some reality AND see that your home is beautiful even with a frugal mindset.
Very sweet vlog. I love watching you because you are natural, so true, and with good advices! I like to see that, to see real life for a person who are the same interests and values than me! You do a very good job here! And your hydrangeas are absolutely beautiful!!!!!
I'm just gonna be honest. I'm a 35 year old homemaker.I started to follow you because of your videos on femininity. Your other videos I usually breeze by as not for me. But I clicked on this for the butter. And now I'm staying. You sharing your vulnerability was real. And I can really appreciate that! Thank you!
You are too adorable! I cried with you for a few seconds, please continue being honest and "normal". This made my "housewife" and dog lover day! (Lina from Germany, age 61, mom of seven grown up children and part time fashion sales rep) Big hugs from Germany
I’m sure it’s already been said here...don’t stress over people’s opinions! What cleaners you use should only be commented on and judged if you’re slipping them into your husbands coffee!!! 😜 You do you!
I think your channel is wonderful: informative, wise, compassionate, honest, full of value and virtue - the last perhaps the most important, yet most elusive in our time. I am 67, so totally not your generation, yet that is perhaps why I appreciate what you do. It reiterates the skills, values and tastes I grew up with, still value, and have mourned the loss of in our current culture. My parents, aunts and grandparents were the sources of this instruction - not perfect people - but had my best interests at heart. Use your brain, but only when it resonates with your heart. Thank you.
@Caitlyn sis you are an inspiration for normal people like us . I'm from india and i don't have the luxury life that other female youtubers display. You are the only youtuber that we normal people can relate😍😚😚😚luv ya lots . I luv all your contents and I'm also a christian . I like your other video about your faith and it's so true. Jesus loves you sis and so do we you sisters😚😚
Love you. I use to follow another youtuber and I loved her lifestyle. It was wholesome, lots of natural stuff, great mom, great person, doing a lot of self care, lots of exercise, a business woman etc etc. But what happened was I tried to imitate and her lifestyle was way too expensive and I couldn't keep up with it. For her it comes naturally and she carries it so well. But for me it was a struggle. And then I found you. The fact that I am also able to connect with you spiritually along with your down to earth personality and a lifestyle which does not include spending a lot of money helps me to remain motivated and inspired to do the best with what I can and be grateful and content. Thank you for your channel and posting regularly. God bless your family.
I love your videos. Keep it real girl! Don't stress about what other people use and do. The reason I love your channel is because u are so down to earth! 😀😀
It broke my heart a little to see you cry. I know exactly how you feel. It's really exhausting work trying to be perfect all the time, and we can be so hard on ourselves and fear the judgement of others. Thank you so much for the video, it really helps to know we're not alone. You are a beautiful soul. We love you. ♡
Haters are always going to hate. I get so much out of watching your videos. If I don't want to do something you do or use a product you use then I won't. I think if someone freaks out about it and attacks you for not being a vegan, not being organic enough, then forget them. You are really changing the world for a lot of young women who are looking for a feminine influence who can teach them. I would have loved to have you to watch when I was a teen and so confused by my love of traditionalism even though I was raised in a very un-traditional world. Now, as an almost 30 year old woman I like watching your videos because you make me feel like there is a tribe of homemakers out there in all shapes and sizes, all walks of life.
Can I just say, seeing your videos and just how your life is, it makes me feel more comfortable and confident in my skin! I used to feel awkward wearing dresses and being feminine but you've changed that so much, so thank you!!
I feel that RUclips needs more real people like you, I'm tired of that luxury lifestyle, keep going is your life and you don't have to explain yourself for the things you use, or eat, people enjoy your content the way it is! You are doing great!
One of the biggest reasons why I love your channel is because you are not like other female youtubers. And it's incredibly refreshing! Keep doing what you are doing! You've got this!

The reason I started following you is because you are so down to earth, you don’t put on a show for us and you’re doing the best you can with what you have. THAT’S inspirational! Veganism, no chemichals and workout routines in all their glory but that’s not the reality for many of us. Thank you for putting positive notes on every day life for ”normal” people 😊😊
Karen thank you for this comment! I absolutely admire all the ladies who do those things, but it’s just not me right now! So happy you took the time to tell me this AND to watch the video. 🥰😍
I’m vegan and use natural products and normal lol so not everyone is like that
Canela ofcourse, ”normal” was bad wording please excuse me 😄. I hope you understand what I mean anyway 😊
@@karin4436 I do lol no worries 💗
Exactly, most of us love how genuine you are
Someone once told me, “find beauty in the ordinary”. I definitely think you master that
I don’t normally leave comments but seeing you upset made me want to say I love your videos because you’re SO real and genuine. I’m sure there is a huge weight on your shoulders by putting your life out there but just know that you are touching the lives of so many of us “everyday women” that also don’t have it all together but love life anyways 😊
Alexa Achberger isn’t that the truth! No one has it all together I think... thank you so much for your support and for taking the time to leave this comment :) ☺️
Yes!!
Alexa Achberger this was exactly what made me leave a comment too.
I like how real you are. All those female RUclipsrs you’re talking about don’t even show 90% of their life. All of them are exactly the same and are not relatable at all. You’re so different from them, you’re one of RUclips’s gems🥰❤️
Reya Skye ahh thank you! I really appreciate this comment. Thank you for taking a moment to encourage me 😌💕
It is going to be so fun to see you pregnant and become a mom, because you are so open and intentional!
I'm so looking forward to see her as a mom; she will do wonderful!
she’d be a great mom, no doubt
You are all so sweet! Yes I am so looking forward to that future adventure. Thank you! 😊
And now she is :’) so exciting
I always wanted to be get married young and become a homemaker. But the society i live find it kinda degrading. I was thought that I should go to university and postpone marriage until my 30's. Which was never the kinda life I wanted to live. But i was so happy when I found your channel. I didn't felt alone anymore cause I found another beautiful woman who shares the same values and interests as me.
It's so sad that dreams as pure as yours used to feel degrading for you.
islandgirlxx Hey if you can find a husband to support you, marry young and be a homemaker, then go for it. But to have that as your only goal, might not be so optimal.
islandgirlxx me too girl
+Naiane Being a homemaker wasn't my only goal in life though. After highschool I wanted to go to beautyschool which is only 2 years where I live. But in highschool I always got high grades in math and physics. So my teachers told me that it's better for me to study something to do with these subjects. Then I would have a "secure" future. And that's exactly what I did. I study mechanical engineering and eventhough I graduated I actually didn't want to study this at all. The job does pay good but it can be very stressful.
Nothing wrong with that..it's just that it's not really in the economy to do that..you man has to be really rich for u to afford it. Besides I'm pretty sure you'll get tired of being a homemaker..at home all day?
Don’t worry about other people judging you. You’re doing really well!! Love you :)
You are like a princess taken from a Disney movie. Beautiful, sweet and hard worker. I love how down to earth you are.
Love from the Dominican Republic :)
Thrifting instead of buying new is very eco friendly!
Hun, don't feel stressed about people judging you about not being "all-natural" etc! Most people I know don't have the time or resources to live a fully "green" and vegan life, even though they want to. As someone who is interested in living a more green lifestyle, I actually get really stressed watching those "perfectly green" youtubers because it seems so unattainable for my personal situation. I've felt much more inspired and motivated by your channel and don't forget that doing things like baking bread and other food items from scratch, thrift shopping, etc is a much more healthy alternative to buying "green products", which often times are just tricky marketing tactics anyways!
I love how real you are! More people can probably relate to you than you think
Wow the fact your tall makes me really happy. I’ve always been so insecure about my height and thought I was too big and that it made me masculine. The fact a tall woman like you can be so feminine gives me a boost of encouragement x
Yay! Tall and feminine team here too! I used to hate it when I was younger and less confident, but now I LOVE it and even wear heels! I think being tall is very beautiful, especially when you carry yourself with grace.
I’m 5’9.5” and I used to be somewhat insecure about being taller than men, I never wore heels even though I love them.
Now I love wearing heels, regardless of the fact that European men (who I live around now) are usually far shorter than the men I grew up around!
Hydrogencar Hellow I guess that is true. I’m pretty shy though and always wanted to blend in more.
Every model is tall, dont worry. Femininity comes from within, outer femininity doesnt include a specific size
I'm 5'8 and don't feel like that's tall at all. I've seen girls in public that make me feel like a munchkin. I think they look so beautiful, it's sad because they too probably feel insecure.
I have been LOVING your videos.
I had gotten to the point where I felt almost embarrassed and I was being shamed because I am feminine and I do have some traditional feminine rolls in my marriage. People would ask me why I was so dressed up when I would wear a dress, make fun of me for being a housewife and always wanting to be home before my husband was home so I could have supper ready for him, etc. I am from a family where the women are not feminine at all. I ended up going back to work because people made me feel so unappreciated and like I wasn’t good enough for my husband because I wasn’t working and he was working 2 jobs.
Watching your videos has really helped me realize that being feminine and being a housewife and wanting to care for my husband is a gift and not something people can shame me for.
So now I work, but only 4 days a week. I do love my job and I do enjoy helping financially even though it’s not much. It has given us some wiggle room. I am home before my husband gets home so I can tidy the house and cook something for supper, and I still get to spend a lot of time with him. I also wear dresses and skirts proudly and I don’t care what people think of me for “dressing up” on just any old day.
I have gotten so many tips from you that make me feel so much more confident. Thank you so much! 💕 I have also gotten into thrift shopping more and I was shocked to find so many cute maxi skirts and dresses and home decor. 😍 I don’t feel bad buying things for myself when it’s all at the thrift store under $5. 😍
No one has it all together, people will always be judgy,and the best thing about getting older is you are no longer concerned about what others think, instead you are concerned about what God and your spouse thinks.
Amen to that!
You're videos always bring a smile to my face! 😍
Don’t apologise for creating and living a life you love! So inspiring
Monday’s and Thursday’s are now my favorite days of the work week thanks to your videos!
NaturallyFeminine ahh thank you! I’m so glad you noticed the schedule LOL! Sending you love Sister 🥰
I love that you don’t fake it! When you said your favorite store was Wal-Mart, I instantly knew your videos would be comfortable to watch (I get judged for shopping there). So thank you for not editing that clip out! 💗
Absolutely love you! I was living a very feminist lifestyle when I stumbled upon one of your videos. I watched it with a bit if hesitation, but I felt a need within me to watch it. Since then, I've been hooked! You inspire me to embrace my femininity and become the woman I was born to be! And wear more dresses! I love your style. You should do an outfits of the week video or maybe showcase some if your favorites!
I don’t usually write comments, but I just wanted to say that you’re very relatable. You’re not putting on a show for us to watch, and that is so refreshing. So, thank you! Also, your joyful spirit is infectious!
Loove the dress, you look like such a fairy! 😍 also you're going to be an amazing mother one day for sure!
I like that you aren’t someone who has to have all vegan (or whatever other thing) everything, or all organic and natural, etc.! I enjoy hearing about any products you use! On another note, many people don’t realize that maintaining and creating a clean and wonderful home is often a full time job if you want to have a balanced/healthy life! You are my homemaking inspiration!
I love your authenticity. It has been so refreshing and encouraging to find that there are actual homemakers out there! Stay-at-home-moms are rare, but housewives are even more rare! It can feel lonely as a housewife living in California (one of the most progressive states in the nation) but when I found your videos, I was so happy to know there are others out there that have chosen the housewife life! God bless you and your beautiful family 🧡
I love your videos; your traditional homemaking videos and you are doing a great job and educating us women who want to be housewifes someday how to live on a budget. Thank you. We appreciate you. You're the best! There's a lot of women who want to be housewifes - so you teach how to shop on a budget. I am also very sensitive so I understand you - a lot of women are emotional.
Those aren’t doggie smudges on the windows! That’s Harley nose art! 🐶 lolz!
that’s the attitude I need! 😂😘
Idk why this made me laugh out loud! 😂 Fur babies are the best!
I was just having a panic attack due to some future events and I was so lost, scared, wishing I could just sleep until the attack ends. BUT THEN, I saw the notification from you and I felt so much better because I remembered how good you and your energy are to my soul and mind. Thank you, Caitlin ❤️May God bless all of this beautiful comunity that cultivates such healthy and good values.
yvi i I am so sorry you are experiencing such fear and anxiety! Thank you for spending your time with me today! I will be praying for you to find peace. ☺️
I completely understand how emotional homemaking can be. I have been a stay at home mom since mid September in 2017. I was pregnant with my first born and couldn't work just as a cashier anymore even though I still had 3 months to go. My mom was a stay at home mom when I was growing up and wanted to do the same with my children. I have two boys now. It can get super lonely, stressful, and I get really emotional about not helping my husband financially. I get super embarrassed telling people I am a stay at home mom, but I wouldn't have it any other way. I have found so many new skills that I didn't know I had. I still struggle with trying to figure out my purpose other than changing diapers and cleaning and cooking all day. The few videos I have watched so far has really helped me be more confident in myself. I have thought about making my own vlog/blog but always feel like my house is too dirty because my toddlers wreck it everyday LOL and I am usually pretty shy.
I’d like to say that you are such an inspiration to me and you’ve motivated me to dig deeper into my own femininity and I am so grateful for your videos and advice! 💛
I love your page and complete transparency! You are very wise beyond your years and a great influence to follow💯
7:54 No, please don't be embarrassed or sad. I love your authenticity! You're a beautiful young woman with a lovely personality! You make the simple things in life look so beautiful!
When I grow up I wanna be like Mrs. Midwest!! Girl you are so inspiring and beautiful to me!!! 💜💎
I can't stop watching your videos because how much I appreciate how real and balanced you are. I never feel like what you are saying is unachievable or unrealistic! I leave here refreshed instead of drained, inspired instead of confused. Thank you for what you are putting out here on RUclips 😊
First of all.... I'm not bragging about my minimalist live (or should we call my poverty life 😂)
It's summer but in the morning we have cold freezing temperatures here in Depok City (Indonesia) and I must wash my laundry by hand with only use bucket, in my bathroom, because I don't have washing machine
I also wash my dishes in the bucket...in my bathroom (I know it sound gross but it the only option I have)
But you know what.... I'm happy and grateful.... because there's sometimes that we we don't have water around the house
Katelyn.....here we are... building our community, with lots of women from different countries, different backgrounds, different religions, different character, different economy status.
We united here because we share some value that we are agree, we support each others, we encourage each others, we share stories and suddenly we don't felt alone anymore
And you started this community Katelyn!
And thank you for that
Laundry, cooking, cleaning, errand, we do it in different ways but so what?
It's nobody concern to tell me how should I spray my windows 😂
Anyway....the only thing that I envy from you it's your giant coffee cup!
If only my stomach allow me to drink that much coffee 😥😥😥
Girl you are so lucky 😁
Much love for you and other feminine sister....have a blessed day you all 😗😘
God bless you!
Trust me my dear!! The more grateful you are the more blessings will come in your life!!!

Oh how I want to give you a hug from Texas! Your comment is exactly the reason I love her channel. She is endearing and so are precious ladies like you who continually make me feel like I have sisters around the world.
I'm relatively well off now but I remember times when I had only a few dozen pounds for food after paying my rent and I was so happy.
Well said💕💕❤️💕❤️💯❤️
Seeing how humbly and real you live relieved my anxiety of thinking I have to live like I have to keep up with all the current trends. Thank you for letting us look into your life, home, and how you live it's really relaxing and calming.
Awww Cait. If you feel comfortable and loved in your homemaking that is all that matters. People who hate don't live your life and don't/will never understand how happy you are in your journey of wholesomeness! We love you!
I really appreciate the emotional honesty, I get really overwhelmed about people’s judgements too. I’m a stay at home mom and I feel a lot of pressure to be happy for my husband and kids because my moods seem to really really affect all of them good or bad.
I'm 18 and learning about being traditional in this modern world, you are very very few of them who can teach me this, and please don't care about others, because for me everything you do, everything you use, the way you speak, is the only way I can learn 😊
I'm sure there are many young girls like me wanting to grow up to be a women like you.
I’m not even half way through your video and it has made me feel better about being a house wife. In this modern world we get a lot of hateful comments. So I constantly have to remind myself that who cares because at the end of the day this is my happiness and my “safe spot”. So thank you for sharing this❤️
Just keep being wonderful, genuine you! We are cheering you on and loving you! Keep on keeping it real! God bless you sweet friend! ❤❤❤❤❤
I appreciate how genuine you are. I could care less what products you use. We need to support each other instead of judging each other. You are a beautiful kind woman. I enjoy your channel and love hearing your perspective on homemaking.
It takes a lot of courage to be your true self and then put that true self out there for the masses. Those that mind, don't matter - those that matter, don't mind. I love your content!
Please don’t cry! People hate my cleaning because I use a lot of bleach and they think my OCD is obsessive, but I don’t care! ESP now that we are in the middle of a pandemic and my husband is a healthcare professional.
I love your channel! Literally you channel is helping me become a better wife. I’ve been using your tips and tricks and my husband and I are working better as a team!
A multi-purpose cleaner I love us pledge in the blue bottle plus it smells so good!!!
Also I love how real you are, your personality is contagious!
Little hous on the prairie is my favorite series🥰
I follow you because you are so real, raw, and truthful with us. Don’t worry about judgement and be gentle with yourself ❤️
Yay you are a real person! I love seeing the quirky sides of you they make you better.
Balanced and whole
8:20 you add a lot of value to your viewers and your content is high quality. Thats the more important thing. Also, not everyone is going to be a vegan, chemical-less, live in an antiseptic bubble being. Most people dont live this way and still lead very quality, productive lives.
You are so fabulous🥳 and that's why I watch you 💕
Esther beamsforaballad don’t throw shade at us vegans :) we’re normal too lol
@@MorenitaBonita19 lol 💕
You’re literally such an inspiration to me!! Thanks to watching you I finally had the courage to tell my parents that after I get my college degree I would prefer to get my grooming certificate rather than go to dental school and they accepted it far better than I thought they would and a huge weight has been lifted off my shoulders! I would have been stressing about my future for the next year if I hadn’t found encouragement in your videos!
harley: [does anything]
me: 🤩😮😍🙌💯
Thanks for being so real - you are loved. We need more people like you, keep up the great work! :-)
Hello from the UK! I just wanted to say, I came across your channel yesterday and truly I found it so refreshing. You are being your true authentic self and encouraging women to be their authentic selves also and I think you are wonderful. Thank you for sharing your life and all the tips.
I love how you got some fresh air and had your moment. I don’t know why, but I think a lot of people don’t want to feel bad at all. You just got yourself together and that was so inspiring.
All things considered - this is most attractive woman on RUclips
Ray Jones yes!! She’s amazing!
Yes 😘😍soo beautiful just trust your self my dear ✌️ love from India 🙂
Agreed!
Ray Jones For real she’s stunning and natural definitely could be a model.
Agree!
Bless your heart. We are under construction our entire lives. I’m 60 and still learning, thank God. I stopped watching several RUclips channels that I used to love because of their unattainable “perfection.” It takes all kinds to make up this world. You’re more of a realist and there are tons of us out here. Keep doing what you’re doing. Apparently it’s working. You’re channel is growing fast. These are my favorite types of videos. You are wise beyond your years.
Girl, here's some hugs! It's an emotional time I feel for a lot of us women right now. The pressure to be the latest and greatest and perfect is definately taking its toll. Your videos inspire me to bring out the more feminine and simplistic side of me. I adore the fact that you eat like "us normal folk" and buy what you need and use, and it's not always the brand name that is needed! Much love to you Cailyn! (Hope I didn't spell it wrong!)
Sometimes when I’m having a stressful time I come back and watch your old vlogs. They are so peaceful and warm and it motivates me to do some homemaking ❤️
also i love those freckles!!!!✨
You are so pure and authentic. This video is so grounding
Well you inspired me , because your home doesnt look like a luxury image but more like a " home" if that make sense? Because youre natural and have this lovely energy so down to earth !! You remind me of my mom actually.
So thanks for inspiring me to be just enough and not putting pressure on my self to be over materialist. Because thats cleary not what life is for!
Sending u lot of love to you and your charming litle familly❤
Sweetheart....you are SUCH an inspiration and joyful light......(and this is coming from someone who's old enough to be your mother!) so please know how much we love your willingness and courage to put yourself out there on a public forum like this. (There will always be critics and unkind words unfortunately at times, no matter what you say or do.) So please just see that rubbish as just noise, and continue being the bright and beautiful soul that you are!! 😊💗
Thrifted furniture is usually of much better quality than Target anyways.
Yes! Same goes for clothing too, fast fashion is often very low quality
You're one of my favorite RUclipsrs! God sees all that you've done to help young women discover who they can be as a woman! You DON'T have to have it all tgt. God's got it all together! And ppl who enjoy your channel as it is won't care what products you use! Love you!!
My husband works nights right now too. It's so hard to be quiet especially with a baby! But I'm so grateful he sleeps like a log!
Edit:Girl don't worry about others! Everyone have opinions! I don't RUclips but just in regular conversation people still judge me! Show us what you want it's your life and not anyone else's!
Ugh, this lifestyle 🥰 simple, slow, quality life. love the amount of alone time you have even though you are married, what a nice balance. You’re a breath of fresh air. Thank you for sharing and inspiring 💕
You create beautiful things and have a beautiful spirit! I find your frugality and creativity inspiring!
I really love and am inspired by your content :) I watched quite a lot of your videos and I have to admit that I started to see you as one of those "perfect" persons, too, who have it all together. Now I am relieved you are a human like me! That you have been stressed because of worrying how people might react to your vlog and you even shared that with us just makes you so much more lovable and adorable! All the power to you, charming lady! Have a blessed day :)
I am going to make butter now my lovely sister! Your genuineness shines through and you are a light to those around you! A hair tutorial would be much loved!
You bring such an amazing and heavenly atmosphere! 😊 Don't tear up because of what some people may think, you are gorgeous, real and sweet! The best wishes to you and your family!
I found you cuz some mean girls were making fun of you and being unkind. I'm so glad to be introduced and it's a good lesson to remember that if people are mean they just might be jealous 💗
Btw I REALLY like you and I adore your content and I'm so grateful for your heart.
You are so so sweet, and I am growing to love your channel more and more with every video. Please don't change the content or feel disheartened by what others may think. You are changing lives, inspiring women, and the glory of God is shining through you!
No matter what you do there will always be people who say negative things, but there will also be overwhelmingly more positive. It is crucial to focus on the positive and stay firmly who you are realizing that is why people watch your channel..
Listen, I love a good vegan vlog as much as the next person but I watch your vlogs for different reasons. They're so cozy and cottagecore and really help you appreciate the little things in life. I put them on when I can't sleep and just feel so peaceful❤
I don't want to see perfect, I want to see real. I love your channel Cait!! 💙💙
I love how relatable you are, using real products and thrifting to save money. You’re an inspiration and a great example for young women. You’ve inspired me in many ways and I’m grateful for your videos.
I love watching your videos and you inspire me so much. I know it’s easier said than done, but just brush off the shaming comments. For some people being vegan and natural is what works for them, but for many of us it doesn’t work. I still drink cows milk and cook with regular flour instead of almond flour, I use Clorox wipes and pine sol when cleaning my kitchen. We can’t please everyone. You have a huge following of women who love your style of living and support you. I get so excited when I get the notification that you posted a new video. Don’t let anyone bring you down or make you think twice about posting a video. Your true followers and supporters love YOU for who YOU are.
Still one of my favorite videos!! Thank you for being so open! I literally just went to the dollar store today and bought some cleaning products 🤷♀️
Easily the most beautiful, genuine and wholesome vlog I have ever seen
Sending you so much love! I am also a very emotional person and I know what it's like to not only be upset but then also feeling guilty that you're so emotional about things. Keep on keeping on! We love your content!!
Girl, I’ve cried about what people would think of the products I use and food I eat and I don’t even have a RUclips channel!
Kaitlyn, don't even give a second thought about what people are going to think about your life style .The fact that you are so genuine ,makes you a literal gem .
We love you .❤
You're so funny, quirky, and relatable! That butter tutorial was amazing!
Seeing your couch made me so happy. So many RUclipsrs have such perfect homes that it makes me feel totally inadequate. It’s nice to see some reality AND see that your home is beautiful even with a frugal mindset.
You are being you. ❤️ Do what works for you. LOVE the big coffee mug.
Very sweet vlog. I love watching you because you are natural, so true, and with good advices! I like to see that, to see real life for a person who are the same interests and values than me! You do a very good job here! And your hydrangeas are absolutely beautiful!!!!!
LOVE THESE VIDEOS!! I can’t find any like yours ughhh!!! Love you Cat❤️!!!
Kayla Davis check out Cynthia L’s channel!
@@Sophie-xh7ml Seems like a copy cat of Mrs. Midwest's channel.
YES NO ONE CAN DO IT LIKE MRS.MIDWEST 😂❤️👏🏽!!!
I'm just gonna be honest. I'm a 35 year old homemaker.I started to follow you because of your videos on femininity. Your other videos I usually breeze by as not for me. But I clicked on this for the butter. And now I'm staying. You sharing your vulnerability was real. And I can really appreciate that! Thank you!
I tried your butter recipe today. It was so much fun to make, and the butter tastes amazing!
Did you use heavy whipping cream?
You are too adorable! I cried with you for a few seconds, please continue being honest and "normal". This made my "housewife" and dog lover day! (Lina from Germany, age 61, mom of seven grown up children and part time fashion sales rep) Big hugs from Germany
I’m sure it’s already been said here...don’t stress over people’s opinions! What cleaners you use should only be commented on and judged if you’re slipping them into your husbands coffee!!! 😜 You do you!
I think your channel is wonderful: informative, wise, compassionate, honest, full of value and virtue - the last perhaps the most important, yet most elusive in our time. I am 67, so totally not your generation, yet that is perhaps why I appreciate what you do. It reiterates the skills, values and tastes I grew up with, still value, and have mourned the loss of in our current culture. My parents, aunts and grandparents were the sources of this instruction - not perfect people - but had my best interests at heart. Use your brain, but only when it resonates with your heart. Thank you.
@Caitlyn sis you are an inspiration for normal people like us . I'm from india and i don't have the luxury life that other female youtubers display. You are the only youtuber that we normal people can relate😍😚😚😚luv ya lots . I luv all your contents and I'm also a christian . I like your other video about your faith and it's so true. Jesus loves you sis and so do we you sisters😚😚
Love you. I use to follow another youtuber and I loved her lifestyle. It was wholesome, lots of natural stuff, great mom, great person, doing a lot of self care, lots of exercise, a business woman etc etc. But what happened was I tried to imitate and her lifestyle was way too expensive and I couldn't keep up with it. For her it comes naturally and she carries it so well. But for me it was a struggle. And then I found you. The fact that I am also able to connect with you spiritually along with your down to earth personality and a lifestyle which does not include spending a lot of money helps me to remain motivated and inspired to do the best with what I can and be grateful and content. Thank you for your channel and posting regularly. God bless your family.
Accepting people judging is the smart thing to do. You're awesome. Be yourself and keep being awesome : )
I love your videos. Keep it real girl! Don't stress about what other people use and do. The reason I love your channel is because u are so down to earth! 😀😀
Omg love yoou, and I wish you and your husband the best for what's coming and even more and more blessings in your life!!!!
It broke my heart a little to see you cry. I know exactly how you feel. It's really exhausting work trying to be perfect all the time, and we can be so hard on ourselves and fear the judgement of others. Thank you so much for the video, it really helps to know we're not alone.
You are a beautiful soul.
We love you. ♡
Haters are always going to hate. I get so much out of watching your videos. If I don't want to do something you do or use a product you use then I won't. I think if someone freaks out about it and attacks you for not being a vegan, not being organic enough, then forget them. You are really changing the world for a lot of young women who are looking for a feminine influence who can teach them. I would have loved to have you to watch when I was a teen and so confused by my love of traditionalism even though I was raised in a very un-traditional world. Now, as an almost 30 year old woman I like watching your videos because you make me feel like there is a tribe of homemakers out there in all shapes and sizes, all walks of life.
Can I just say, seeing your videos and just how your life is, it makes me feel more comfortable and confident in my skin! I used to feel awkward wearing dresses and being feminine but you've changed that so much, so thank you!!
I feel that RUclips needs more real people like you, I'm tired of that luxury lifestyle, keep going is your life and you don't have to explain yourself for the things you use, or eat, people enjoy your content the way it is! You are doing great!
One of the biggest reasons why I love your channel is because you are not like other female youtubers. And it's incredibly refreshing! Keep doing what you are doing! You've got this!
