I’ve been through so many Haley stages…cleaning videos, DITL videos, the “hustle and make money videos”, the quitting RUclips and helping people run online businesses videos, the homeschooling and slowing down videos…to this. I am in love with this version of your page and am so glad I stuck it out! 😂❤ Looking forward to Christian motherhood videos
I think the biggest lie ever sold was that you can have it all. You can't. No matter the choices you make you will have to make sacrifices that others don't. Its sad to me to see people, men and women, kill themselves to do and be everything. The second lie is that you need two incomes to make it in life with a family. My husband and I started our family straight out of college with over 50 grand in student debt. We were older than your average because we both went to college later in life. We were 28 and 30 but it was still a hurdle. We both knew we wanted to be a one income family and due to our age, we didn't want to wait to have kids. We made it work. We lived tight and sometimes our bank account was in the single digits but we managed. We paid off the student debt, and covered the medical costs of 3 c-sections, and 2 ER visits. We accomplished this on a teachers salary too. I will also add that my husband did summer school for a little extra cash. It wasn't easy but our life was good. He's now working on his masters and I'm still a SAHM now with 4 kids.
Omg Hayley! I have been watching you for so long and I literally saw when you began changing into who you are now as a mother, wife and woman. I love who you are becoming ❤ it takes courage to do this and to even proclaim it and share your story. This is what we need more of. I am loving your content!!
I love the new direction this channel is heading. I can relate to everything you said. I went from having a corporate job to working part-time from home and homeschooling. Having the time to really focus on my family has been the biggest blessing..
I’be been following since early motherhood days and I’m so excited for these new videos. It’s crazy how similar I feel going from a working mom to stay at home homeschool mom.
My mom was a rare case. I don’t know how she did it but she was a great career woman, a great mom, and a great wife but I saw her sacrifice so many hours of sleep and she lost her mind and went to the mental hospital. Her physical health declined, my dad passed and we lost our home and I ended up on the street. If I could go back in time despite my parents’ intentions and efforts, I wish my mom worked part time at least and I had more of her time as opposed to money. I’m in the position where as a single mom I am actually leaving my job at the end of this last week because I see the same with my kids. They need my time more than money and I’m just letting go and letting God to provide for us. Your words really resonated with me. Thanks for sharing!
I can relate to this so much! My RUclips channel became our main source of income and I was so miserable! We have shifted completely away from that and I feel much more fulfilled as a mother and wife. My perspective has completely changed when it comes to housework, etc. I am GRATEFUL that I have the time and energy to cook for my family, do their laundry, homeschool my children and more. Please share more about this! I love it!!
OMG! Never thought I’d see the day! This is HUGE! But I am totally here along for the journey! I can relate as I was also the only one making money for our family and I told my husband 3 months ago that I am DONE! I will keep my business as a side income but I want my babies back! (4yr and 1yr) The transition is a STRUGGLE but I’m so relieved that my role model Hayley is here to support. Esp with focus on Christian beliefs. So here for it!
We are in sync, Hayley! I've been watching since you made breastfeeding videos with your first baby, while I was struggling to nurse by first born baby girl. I later launched two online businesses (I've always worked part-time, but relate to much of what you mentioned) and then just started reading through the bible myself for the first time a few months ago. Katie Voetberg, Megan Fox (Unlocked) and Bindi Marc have been great encouragements in homemaking and motherhood, and I'm so excited to hear more from you in this area!
This was beautiful!!! It’s pretty much like a piece of your testimony! Ugh you know it all happened so that you can turn around and glorify God. I’m so happy for you. I understand, being a lukewarm Christian, believing in God but not making time for Him in your life. You have blessed me sooo much through this video, cried for you because I’m so happy for you. I’m excited to see what you have in store. Today I had a hard day, my house was a wreck, my 6 month old was screaming all day, my middle child was making a mess while I was cleaning and my oldest just wasn’t feeling well. Everyone felt my stress. But when I laid down to pray with my girls, I asked for forgiveness and I wanted them to hear me so that way they could see that momma makes mistakes too, and I also need help and can ask for it. I also thanked God for a house to clean and children who can make the mess, and a baby who can scream and a child to care for who isn’t feeling well. I have all those things that the Lord has blessed me with, and I need to find joy in these blessings rather than seeing them as jobs to get done or check off or annoyances. They are blessings! My feet still hurt from the long day! But that’s ok. I am blessed!
Yes Amen 🙏 I constantly have to remind myself of this as well. I work with children who are medically fragile and watching them struggle to reach developmental milestones remind me the importance of appreciating my healthy active and curious children.
I relate to this so much! I am a nurse (I left that career when the mandates started) and I started a business as a lactation consultant, I had 2 kids under 3 at the time and starting my business was so stressful, I was also getting tons of texts from clients when I was trying to take care of my kids and make dinner etc and I felt my mind was always elsewhere. I’ve since started only taking a consult or two a week and setting boundaries on client follow up texts and Im much happier.
So impressed by your new goals. As a 76 year old now with a 55 year old daughter, I cannot tell you how much I regret not being a more present Christian when raising my daughter. I assumed she would always love the Lord as I did and as she once did. Now she’s not even a believer and I would give anything to be able to start over. Praying for you!!
I think the reason I’ve “failed” so much as a social media mom, is that I have never put this work over my homemaking & motherhood job. I’ve always made sure my home and family were taken care of, which often puts my social media content on the back burner. I still want to grow my business and make a source of income from it- but I cannot put that before my family and I say it all of the time. I see so many moms creating SO much content daily and as someone who knows what that takes, I’m like HOW? I would never have time for my kids. Staring at my phone more than my kids isn’t an option for me.
I never thought I’d be a SAHM and I also never thought I’d have 5 kids or home school them. I’m thankful for my journey as well. I quit when our oldest was born and he’s now 10! Happy to see you progress through all stages of motherhood.
Wow!!! How the Lord moves just wow! So happy for you guys and proud of you for speaking about you're faith just wow!! Haven't watched you in years as I'm a traditional christian wife and I didn't find it edifying but wow so glad this popped up! Praying for you and your ministry to your family and everyone else you may impact...just wow what a testimony!
I have a small business and I know its a business that I can leave running on its own, but the mom guilt is so real.. I am looking forward to your new videos on becoming a biblical housewife! This is exactly what was crossing my mind this morning, and I am so glad you showed up on my recommended videos.. this has to be a sign..
This is so inspiring to me! Thank you for being open about this, Hayley! Praying God continues to bless you and your family in your efforts to serve Him and them. Women like you are very much needed on this platform so please know your efforts are not wasted!
Preach away Hayley! You have a great platform where many can hear you. God has made everything in your life happen for a reason. He gave you this platform, use it and spread his word. I've been following your journey for years now, and I love to see how you've grown. You truly are inspiring. The traditional housewife is not talked about enough. It has been made to see bad and it is not. I am so excited to keep following your journey! I hope my partner and I can grow close to God together as well. I do believe life is better with God in the center. I have been struggling with my faith, but this video has definitely spoke to me. Thank you.
Was surprised by your ending...I've heard you mention your love of being a sahm and discipling your children in other videos? Hope you and your family stay encouraged and blessed🙏🏼❤️
Thank you for sharing this!! Invaluable reminder to me today as a work from home mama. I’ve given up things in my career because I felt God prompting me. I’ve seen him open the doors that bring a good balance to our family. I know he will continue to do the same for you as you trust in Him ❤
I am never one to leave comments but I just had to! Been watching your videos for so long… just want to say praise God for his faithfulness in your life and for giving you the boldness to share! I’ve been on a very similar journey since being laid off from my “dream job” this time last year. So thankful that I’ve actually been able to make my family my #1 priority. I was the bread winner and things have definitely been tighter but God. He has continued to provide and meet our needs. Can’t wait to see where your channel goes!
I love this!!! I’ve always loved y’all and the hustle. But as my kids have grown I have begged for time to slow down. I’m so thankful that I get to stay home and take care of our home and kiddos❤️💗❤️
Oh my Hayley! I feel like we’re on the same boat! But not as successful like you in this business but I took your YT course but make me think twice before I even get started because I know it will take a lot of my time and I don’t want it to be the reason that I will not have all the time for my family. I am a homeschooling mom of 2 as well and somehow starting to get brand deals here and there. It takes a lot of time and effort for me to make a content. I feel you on this. I just want to be a traditional mom and just share our journey as a family who loves travelling, connecting to people who has same values as ours and be more God centered. He answered a lot of my prayers and questions and I trust Him that He will provide us the things we need.
I never related to something more! Growing in my faith as well learning my role as a wife and a mother going to start homeschooling next year and stop working in June! God is moving it’s amazing!!
Hayley, I've been watching since the first nursey reveal video and I check in to your channel from year to year. I'm deeply touched. I heard you mention God before and I just am very glad to see this version of you as you are able to share! Wow, it's gotta be so vulnerable to share so much over the years but I really think you have a loving audience of people out there like myself and sisters in Christ who are right in this motherhood thing with all these same questions & trying to figure it out. You've really helped my heart & journey today, thank you!!
Been with you since before Annabelle. I feel like I was on your same page back then and then I feel like I'm your page now. It's like we were on a similar path and I'm so happy that we sort of grew up together and are all in with our vocation as wife and mothers. I'm looking forward to your content still and am proud to say we have similar values. You go Hayley!
Haley, I am so proud of you. I agree with you. Talking about my faith and kids can still be hard for me. I’ve watched you since your apartment days. So, so, so happy for you. And dresses are so underrated. Haha
This resonates so much with me. I PRAYED for a job I could do while also being a mama / homeschooling. The lord opened the door and I quickly felt it take over my every day. I was no longer the mom my kids needed me to be; and my head was ALWAYS on work. Thankfully, my contract ends this month and I am done. But it was such an eye opener that the lord knew all along where I would love being the most. Great video!!❤
Hayleyyyy.. this makes me soo happy. Thank you for speaking up on this. This is such a dream for me too, people think women should strive to be equals with men but i think not really necessary. I love how the traditional husband -wife dynamic is. Side hustle can be done ofc but our family as nurturers should be our focus. Love this
Hi Hayley, I am new to your channel haha! I literally just searched "homemaker" and your video came up. I've been looking for more content like this because I recently came home full time and want to grow in being a godly housewife, so I'm so excited that you're starting this new chapter and sharing it! The Lord is so good to work on us and reveal the idols of our hearts, which I know He has done with me as it has been a difficult adjustment for me to leave a "structured" and payed workplace. I'm so with you on all this!
Proud of you! I'm in this same struggle. I'm a multiple 7 figure entrepreneur and think I handle both work and family pretty well but you are right, some things start to slip.
Been following since your BA surgery (found your vlogs because I was getting them done at the same time 🤦🏻♀️) and became a mom shortly after you had Annabelle so I stayed for the mom content. Looking forward to this new direction you’re going in because I’m on the same wavelength. Homeschooling my littles and trying to strength my relationship with God and His role in our family/ home. You seem so happy in your decision!
I started staying home around 5 years ago and it was the best decision we ever made. I even mentioned going back to work and my husband said “but your job is here”. It’s so much more fulfilling than my career was. Glad you’re following your heart
I’m so proud of you! I started watching you years ago when you we’re living by the beach and I loved your spirit and mothering videos. That was your calling and so happy you found yourself again. ❤️🙏🏼
This video is beautiful, Hayley. I'm so looking forward to your content to come!!! I've followed you on and off for so many years, and I feel so weirdly proud of you and who you have become LOL.
Haley! I have watched you for several years and I am so proud of the woman you have become ❤️ It honestly got me teary eyed. Well I just want to be honest from woman to woman. I strived so much to be a stay at home mom /homeschool mom. I have 2 kids. I homeschooled my daughter at age 3 and now she will be a part of a charter school at 5 this summer. I would still be doing homeschool all at home with her once she starts we would just get funded through the state. What I do need help is how to help my husband with his business on the side. We would like to make more income for our family and to be able to leave something behind for them as we get older but I obviously don't want it to effect me as a stay at home mom and wife. My husband is a licensed FIFA soccer coach and we wanted to do online courses for his business because he is so busy and we're thinking and praying about growing our business. I honestly just wish I could talk to you about everything because you seem so knowledgeable about business and I would love some input from another mother that loves Christ and puts her family first 🥰 . I'm not sure how to contact you directly or how to get your classes or course to help us out but I would only pray that you read this comment and reply 🙏
I hate "bossmom" because there is no term like this for men. You can be working as a mom or dad, you just have to find your way. I also think the whole hustling and productivity-mill is a trap. We should aim to make enough money to be comfortable but we should also slow down and enjoy the present moment. I have two kids and work part-time as a teacher and this set up is perfect for us, now both my kids are in school especially. It's important to me to spend a lot of time with my kids but I also want to have my own career and make my own income. My kids love seeing me do a job I love, and I want them to know it's possible to be a mom and have a job and passion. My dad would demean my mom often saying "I pay for everything in this house" and I never wanted to be financially dependent on anyone.
I'm totally relate to you. Also a part time educator with two children and my sweet spot is being able to continue my passion but also have quality time with my children. I do have to be mindful about being present in the moment. I maybe at work thinking about my babies or at home thinking about work task. But in the end everything we do is for our children no one is perfect and we each have our own journey to take. Your doing a great job momma thank you for contributing to the field of education!
Idk how you didn’t cry, I was crying. I’ve been here since just before A was born, I was pregnant with my first as well and I loved that you weren’t like most mommy RUclipsrs. I could see you had more conviction than others and to watch you transform and see God draw your heart towards himself over the last 6 years is such a beautiful testimony of his love and patience. I’m proud of you following your convictions! Go girl!!
Wow, this is amazing Hayley! To see the Holy Spirit's transformation and bringing you to Himself is so encouraging and faith strengthening! Be encouraged and keep seeking Him! I would love to hear you and your husband's full testimony sometime on a podcast or video!! Blessings over you all!
I’m so excited for this next chapter for you, and inspired! I’m 25, not yet married (ring coming soon I hope😉) and kids are still a ways away. That being said I’ve always loved your content the last few years and am even more intrigued on how this transition works for you as I hold many of the same desires/goals for my (future) family. Thank you for sharing and being so open!!❤
I also went through this phase. I’m currently a sahm. I was a working mom when my two oldest were babies and I missed so much. They’re now 10 and 9 and I been sahm for 6 and half years now. I was able to enjoy every moment when they were toddlers and now they’re doing so good. My husband and I also have a construction business. I was home with the kids and on the phone scheduling this or checking emails, talking to customers. This went on for almost two years until I just spoked to my husband that I’m focusing on our kids and home. I’m helping with contracts and taxes but it’s not full time like before. I’m focusing on my three children and now expecting baby #4 and my husband. These couple months I been able to go out with our children more. My kids are now helping with chores without nagging. They’re doing so good spiritual. I’m slowly getting my house clean. I’m not feeling so overwhelmed like before.
Hayley , i have been watching you for over 5 years now, and i always prayed for u to do more videos related to ur kids and honestly i love your personality. You are so smart and kind. You are basically my ROLE model and please just follow your heart. Deep down you knew that only your kids and husband deserves you full attention , so happy for u. If you ever do and meet and greet i would love to meet u one day in life.
I am so exciting for this new chapter of your life! I found your channel when I was pregnant with my first and Annabelle was recently born. It is so nice seeing your journey as a mother and Christianity! 🧡
Hi Hayley. The first time I watched your channel you were doing pregnancy videos with your oldest. I was pregnant with my 4th child. All of my close friends at this time were done having children. So you were my virtual pregnant friend unbeknownst to you! It was fun to have a preggo buddy. I don’t keep up with every video but occasionally I check in to see how you are doing. I’ve seen twinkles of your faith come through on occasion. I am here today thrilled that you have found your voice that comes from your spirit! And thrilled that you have the courage to use it on your public platform. To God be the glory! When you are ready, I would love to hear your faith story ❤️.
You’re speaking to me about *exactly* what I am trying to figure out for my life right now. I have this intense pull to slow down and take care of my family. I just had twins and I have two other boys as well. I have been the breadwinner for years but was recently laid off and now I want to be a traditional house wife and raise my kids to be christians .. but also want to build a business. But how? It’s a lot to sort through. I really do have to make some money- so I think you’ve really said what I needed to hear about side hustle!
I am so excited to see the turn your channel is taking! Fellow believer here 🙏 and I would love to hear your testimony and how you came to know the Lord 🤍
Such a relatable video one of your best I should say. Got teary eyed listening to you express your love of GOD, Christianity and your family. A foundation home build on Christ will always be loving, strong and faithful. These values instilled today will be remembered in your babies for the rest of their lives. PROUD OF YOU for making the best decision for your family and yourself. Serving GOD and family is why I couldn't make it work online I had to finally walk away. It has been the best thing decision I ever made. Trust the journey you're in Hayley it is a blessing for all of you. Love seeing this new you. We need to see more of this on here and the world. So many things these days are disturbing and out of control. GOD BLESS YOU and YOUR FAMILY!! 🥰🙏
So thankful that I found this video. I turned in my resignation 3 weeks ago for this EXACT reason. I wanted to create a biblical full life for my family and for my mental health and to restore peace in my heart. SOOO many people had the opinion that I was just lazy and did not have ambition and was making a mistake, but I truly just felt almost compelled to shift my entire focus to the peace of God and being a biblical homemaker. Thank you for re assuring me in my decision❤
I’ve watched you for a long time now and I have to say this is the most moving/impactful video I’ve seen you make. How incredible is it that you’ve had the opportunity to build this platform and now get to use it for God’s glory. That’s incredible and you should feel proud of yourself.
Yesssss!!!! Can’t wait for your videos about being a biblical woman/ wife/ mother ❤️ everything you said resonated with me so much! Thank you Hayley your content is life changing
I just love this and your journey. It made me tear up. Love what you said and I’m so happy you’ve been convicted to make a huge change and share with us. You’re an inspiration ❤
I absolutely love you! This video brings tears to my eyes. ❤ Please don’t be hard on yourself. I am in my 40’s and still recognizing and changing things. Things started to make more sense in life when I started following Jesus. I will watch and support you 100 percent! 💗
Hayley, I’m rejoicing! I’m so edified by hearing how you’ve responded to the Lord drawing you near. What a testimony you have! God is good all the time ♥️
I feel the same away as you. I’m quitting my job in June. I’m a teacher and me and my coworkers see how emotionally neglected these children are because they are away from their families for so much of their waking hours.
Wow I had this today a realization that my place and purpose is to mother and never ever thought this would be a life I enjoy ie as career only and now I fall in love with homemaking everyday
It makes me think of the verse, “Seek ye first the Kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things shall be added unto you.” You’re experiencing the truth of this verse, and it’s setting in on your life. It’s been such a blessing for me to follow Christ. I’m so thankful you’re encouraging others. 😊
I am crying through this video… I can see the light shining through you and you are inspiring many. If this video or your faith leads even one person to Jesus, it’s all worth it. Everything you said resonates so much with me. God bless all of you!
Hey Hayley! I am glad you are seeking the Holy Spirit guidance in your life and your family. I am the breadwinner of my family and also at the very early stages of starting a business. Unfortunately we all have idols here and there. I am glad you can see that. I wish you the best! I hope you continue to do the RUclipsprenur course, I have finished it but I haven't started RUclips as of yet.
Hi Hayley. I'm from Brazil and I discovered your channel not long ago. I really liked your videos about motherhood and homeschooling so I subscribed to your channel. Now with this video I confess that I'm even happier for your new choise. Here we are also a Christian family and I want to include a little Bible study with my 3 children before the homeschool study. The Bible also answers all my questions about life. Sometimes we may not understand at first but if we be persistent in our prayers we can see that is true. Before it was so hard to be a housewife... now I'm starting to see with different eyes the blessing that is to take care of what's ours, to see my children growing up and to share life with them even that whit less money. I have been working remotely but now it's not my main focus. God provides, pray and you will see wonders. Your pregnancy is a blessing! Take care of yourself and your baby. God bless everyone's family here
Such an inspiring conversation. I'm a multi 6 figure online wealth hypnotist, I work 8 hours a week. I'm a Muslim too. I decided that I didn't need millions to consider myself successful. I'm a wife & mum so I'll always be successful. My family always come before my job. I have a nanny & a teacher for my kids but I'm involved in everything. My kids are involved in my business so we never feel separated. I had to work a lot on my mindset & not rush success. I never chased money & I feel like that's why I'm fulfilled in my traditional role & career
I'm a single gal with no kids but I'm definitely here for this new phase of your life. It's like you said we all go through different seasons in our lives & in this season you now want to be a traditional wife and there is absolutely nothing wrong with that. May God bless you and your family & I look forward to you sharing more of your experiences on here 🙂❤
Hayley, this is so awesome! I've been watching your videos for all of these years, and I'm so glad you are following the Lord and wanting to do what He has called you to do! ❤️❤️❤️
A follow up to the comment at seeing all your stages, I completely agree and this video is incredible! You crack me up saying “gross words” 😂 I am on this journey as well! I homeschool as well and my husband is currently away in the military for a while and my relationship with God has gotten so much closer! God timing is perfect and his plan is perfect ❤ I would love to see how you balance homemaking and homeschool 😄
I’ve been through so many Haley stages…cleaning videos, DITL videos, the “hustle and make money videos”, the quitting RUclips and helping people run online businesses videos, the homeschooling and slowing down videos…to this. I am in love with this version of your page and am so glad I stuck it out! 😂❤ Looking forward to Christian motherhood videos
haha thank you!!! Sticking it out has been difficult when trying to figure out my life lol
Same! Love where she has landed❤
YES! This!! Same!
Yes!! ❤ Me too! So amazing!
Me too! Same 💕
I think the biggest lie ever sold was that you can have it all. You can't. No matter the choices you make you will have to make sacrifices that others don't. Its sad to me to see people, men and women, kill themselves to do and be everything.
The second lie is that you need two incomes to make it in life with a family. My husband and I started our family straight out of college with over 50 grand in student debt. We were older than your average because we both went to college later in life. We were 28 and 30 but it was still a hurdle. We both knew we wanted to be a one income family and due to our age, we didn't want to wait to have kids. We made it work. We lived tight and sometimes our bank account was in the single digits but we managed. We paid off the student debt, and covered the medical costs of 3 c-sections, and 2 ER visits. We accomplished this on a teachers salary too. I will also add that my husband did summer school for a little extra cash. It wasn't easy but our life was good. He's now working on his masters and I'm still a SAHM now with 4 kids.
Omg Hayley! I have been watching you for so long and I literally saw when you began changing into who you are now as a mother, wife and woman. I love who you are becoming ❤ it takes courage to do this and to even proclaim it and share your story. This is what we need more of. I am loving your content!!
Thank you so much!!
I love the new direction this channel is heading. I can relate to everything you said. I went from having a corporate job to working part-time from home and homeschooling. Having the time to really focus on my family has been the biggest blessing..
I’be been following since early motherhood days and I’m so excited for these new videos. It’s crazy how similar I feel going from a working mom to stay at home homeschool mom.
Thank you!!!
My mom was a rare case. I don’t know how she did it but she was a great career woman, a great mom, and a great wife but I saw her sacrifice so many hours of sleep and she lost her mind and went to the mental hospital. Her physical health declined, my dad passed and we lost our home and I ended up on the street. If I could go back in time despite my parents’ intentions and efforts, I wish my mom worked part time at least and I had more of her time as opposed to money. I’m in the position where as a single mom I am actually leaving my job at the end of this last week because I see the same with my kids. They need my time more than money and I’m just letting go and letting God to provide for us. Your words really resonated with me. Thanks for sharing!
I can relate to this so much! My RUclips channel became our main source of income and I was so miserable! We have shifted completely away from that and I feel much more fulfilled as a mother and wife. My perspective has completely changed when it comes to housework, etc. I am GRATEFUL that I have the time and energy to cook for my family, do their laundry, homeschool my children and more. Please share more about this! I love it!!
OMG! Never thought I’d see the day! This is HUGE! But I am totally here along for the journey! I can relate as I was also the only one making money for our family and I told my husband 3 months ago that I am DONE! I will keep my business as a side income but I want my babies back! (4yr and 1yr) The transition is a STRUGGLE but I’m so relieved that my role model Hayley is here to support. Esp with focus on Christian beliefs. So here for it!
omg def no role model LOL but yay! Thank you for sharing!! So exciting.
I have much respect for you! I wish more influencers would be transparent about the sacrifices this lifestyle requires.
We are in sync, Hayley! I've been watching since you made breastfeeding videos with your first baby, while I was struggling to nurse by first born baby girl. I later launched two online businesses (I've always worked part-time, but relate to much of what you mentioned) and then just started reading through the bible myself for the first time a few months ago. Katie Voetberg, Megan Fox (Unlocked) and Bindi Marc have been great encouragements in homemaking and motherhood, and I'm so excited to hear more from you in this area!
This was beautiful!!! It’s pretty much like a piece of your testimony! Ugh you know it all happened so that you can turn around and glorify God. I’m so happy for you. I understand, being a lukewarm Christian, believing in God but not making time for Him in your life.
You have blessed me sooo much through this video, cried for you because I’m so happy for you. I’m excited to see what you have in store. Today I had a hard day, my house was a wreck, my 6 month old was screaming all day, my middle child was making a mess while I was cleaning and my oldest just wasn’t feeling well. Everyone felt my stress. But when I laid down to pray with my girls, I asked for forgiveness and I wanted them to hear me so that way they could see that momma makes mistakes too, and I also need help and can ask for it. I also thanked God for a house to clean and children who can make the mess, and a baby who can scream and a child to care for who isn’t feeling well. I have all those things that the Lord has blessed me with, and I need to find joy in these blessings rather than seeing them as jobs to get done or check off or annoyances. They are blessings!
My feet still hurt from the long day! But that’s ok. I am blessed!
Yes Amen 🙏 I constantly have to remind myself of this as well. I work with children who are medically fragile and watching them struggle to reach developmental milestones remind me the importance of appreciating my healthy active and curious children.
I relate to this so much! I am a nurse (I left that career when the mandates started) and I started a business as a lactation consultant, I had 2 kids under 3 at the time and starting my business was so stressful, I was also getting tons of texts from clients when I was trying to take care of my kids and make dinner etc and I felt my mind was always elsewhere. I’ve since started only taking a consult or two a week and setting boundaries on client follow up texts and Im much happier.
So impressed by your new goals. As a 76 year old now with a 55 year old daughter, I cannot tell you how much I regret not being a more present Christian when raising my daughter. I assumed she would always love the Lord as I did and as she once did. Now she’s not even a believer and I would give anything to be able to start over. Praying for you!!
I'd like this video twice if i could!!! Thanks for your transparency- this makes so much sense.
I think the reason I’ve “failed” so much as a social media mom, is that I have never put this work over my homemaking & motherhood job. I’ve always made sure my home and family were taken care of, which often puts my social media content on the back burner. I still want to grow my business and make a source of income from it- but I cannot put that before my family and I say it all of the time. I see so many moms creating SO much content daily and as someone who knows what that takes, I’m like HOW? I would never have time for my kids. Staring at my phone more than my kids isn’t an option for me.
I can totally relate to this! That is definitely my story as well!
I never thought I’d be a SAHM and I also never thought I’d have 5 kids or home school them. I’m thankful for my journey as well. I quit when our oldest was born and he’s now 10! Happy to see you progress through all stages of motherhood.
Wow!!! How the Lord moves just wow! So happy for you guys and proud of you for speaking about you're faith just wow!! Haven't watched you in years as I'm a traditional christian wife and I didn't find it edifying but wow so glad this popped up! Praying for you and your ministry to your family and everyone else you may impact...just wow what a testimony!
I have a small business and I know its a business that I can leave running on its own, but the mom guilt is so real.. I am looking forward to your new videos on becoming a biblical housewife! This is exactly what was crossing my mind this morning, and I am so glad you showed up on my recommended videos.. this has to be a sign..
This is so inspiring to me! Thank you for being open about this, Hayley! Praying God continues to bless you and your family in your efforts to serve Him and them.
Women like you are very much needed on this platform so please know your efforts are not wasted!
Thank you!
Preach away Hayley! You have a great platform where many can hear you. God has made everything in your life happen for a reason. He gave you this platform, use it and spread his word. I've been following your journey for years now, and I love to see how you've grown. You truly are inspiring. The traditional housewife is not talked about enough. It has been made to see bad and it is not. I am so excited to keep following your journey! I hope my partner and I can grow close to God together as well. I do believe life is better with God in the center. I have been struggling with my faith, but this video has definitely spoke to me. Thank you.
LOVE this video!!
Thank you for being so transparent!!
Please continue vlogging!!!! I’ve been watching your vlogs for years!!!
I have never been more proud to know you, Hayley. ❤
Let’s do this definitely will follow you!! We are on the same boat here🙏🏼🙂
Was surprised by your ending...I've heard you mention your love of being a sahm and discipling your children in other videos? Hope you and your family stay encouraged and blessed🙏🏼❤️
These housewife and stay at home mom videos encourage and inspire me like nothing else. 🤍
Thank you for sharing this!! Invaluable reminder to me today as a work from home mama. I’ve given up things in my career because I felt God prompting me. I’ve seen him open the doors that bring a good balance to our family. I know he will continue to do the same for you as you trust in Him ❤
God is so good! It's truly forever life changing finally following His plan. Thank you for sharing!
I am never one to leave comments but I just had to! Been watching your videos for so long… just want to say praise God for his faithfulness in your life and for giving you the boldness to share! I’ve been on a very similar journey since being laid off from my “dream job” this time last year. So thankful that I’ve actually been able to make my family my #1 priority. I was the bread winner and things have definitely been tighter but God. He has continued to provide and meet our needs. Can’t wait to see where your channel goes!
I love this!!! I’ve always loved y’all and the hustle. But as my kids have grown I have begged for time to slow down. I’m so thankful that I get to stay home and take care of our home and kiddos❤️💗❤️
Oh my Hayley! I feel like we’re on the same boat! But not as successful like you in this business but I took your YT course but make me think twice before I even get started because I know it will take a lot of my time and I don’t want it to be the reason that I will not have all the time for my family. I am a homeschooling mom of 2 as well and somehow starting to get brand deals here and there. It takes a lot of time and effort for me to make a content. I feel you on this. I just want to be a traditional mom and just share our journey as a family who loves travelling, connecting to people who has same values as ours and be more God centered. He answered a lot of my prayers and questions and I trust Him that He will provide us the things we need.
I never related to something more! Growing in my faith as well learning my role as a wife and a mother going to start homeschooling next year and stop working in June! God is moving it’s amazing!!
How exciting! I know it will be an amazing experience for you!!
Totally needed to hear this ! Thankyou for sharing and I can’t wait to see more videos ❤️
Hayley, I've been watching since the first nursey reveal video and I check in to your channel from year to year. I'm deeply touched. I heard you mention God before and I just am very glad to see this version of you as you are able to share! Wow, it's gotta be so vulnerable to share so much over the years but I really think you have a loving audience of people out there like myself and sisters in Christ who are right in this motherhood thing with all these same questions & trying to figure it out. You've really helped my heart & journey today, thank you!!
Been with you since before Annabelle. I feel like I was on your same page back then and then I feel like I'm your page now. It's like we were on a similar path and I'm so happy that we sort of grew up together and are all in with our vocation as wife and mothers. I'm looking forward to your content still and am proud to say we have similar values. You go Hayley!
aw thank you Grecia!
so happy to hear this! being a housewife is wonderful! congrats!
You're an amazing mom Hayley!! Nothing but support for you and your family ❤
Haley, I am so proud of you. I agree with you. Talking about my faith and kids can still be hard for me. I’ve watched you since your apartment days. So, so, so happy for you. And dresses are so underrated. Haha
This resonates so much with me. I PRAYED for a job I could do while also being a mama / homeschooling.
The lord opened the door and I quickly felt it take over my every day. I was no longer the mom my kids needed me to be; and my head was ALWAYS on work. Thankfully, my contract ends this month and I am done. But it was such an eye opener that the lord knew all along where I would love being the most. Great video!!❤
Love this and where you’re headed with your channel! ❤
Hayleyyyy.. this makes me soo happy. Thank you for speaking up on this. This is such a dream for me too, people think women should strive to be equals with men but i think not really necessary. I love how the traditional husband -wife dynamic is. Side hustle can be done ofc but our family as nurturers should be our focus. Love this
Love this ❤...Thanks for sharing. I've been feeling the same way.
OMGosh-this is the most beautiful video you’ve ever posted Hayley!! Your children will be so blessed for the life you are giving them!! Xoxo
This video should have at least a million views. Thank you for your story!
Hi Hayley, I am new to your channel haha! I literally just searched "homemaker" and your video came up. I've been looking for more content like this because I recently came home full time and want to grow in being a godly housewife, so I'm so excited that you're starting this new chapter and sharing it! The Lord is so good to work on us and reveal the idols of our hearts, which I know He has done with me as it has been a difficult adjustment for me to leave a "structured" and payed workplace. I'm so with you on all this!
I watched back when you were a newer RUclipsr and now seeing you here is amazing❤️
Proud of you!
I'm in this same struggle. I'm a multiple 7 figure entrepreneur and think I handle both work and family pretty well but you are right, some things start to slip.
Amazing! Thank you Dalia!
Been following since your BA surgery (found your vlogs because I was getting them done at the same time 🤦🏻♀️) and became a mom shortly after you had Annabelle so I stayed for the mom content. Looking forward to this new direction you’re going in because I’m on the same wavelength. Homeschooling my littles and trying to strength my relationship with God and His role in our family/ home. You seem so happy in your decision!
I'm a working mom but I really appreciate what you had to say. Best of luck with everything!
aw thank you Madison!! I still run the business with my husband..just not alll the time like I used to so I feel you in a way! xx
Thank you for sharing. Very inspiring to hear.
I started staying home around 5 years ago and it was the best decision we ever made. I even mentioned going back to work and my husband said “but your job is here”. It’s so much more fulfilling than my career was. Glad you’re following your heart
Beautiful once you desire the things of the Lord, He will over time transform your heart and mind. Bless your family!
Beautifully said! Amen
Yes! Thank you!
I’m so proud of you! I started watching you years ago when you we’re living by the beach and I loved your spirit and mothering videos. That was your calling and so happy you found yourself again. ❤️🙏🏼
This video is beautiful, Hayley. I'm so looking forward to your content to come!!! I've followed you on and off for so many years, and I feel so weirdly proud of you and who you have become LOL.
Haley! I have watched you for several years and I am so proud of the woman you have become ❤️
It honestly got me teary eyed.
Well I just want to be honest from woman to woman. I strived so much to be a stay at home mom /homeschool mom. I have 2 kids. I homeschooled my daughter at age 3 and now she will be a part of a charter school at 5 this summer. I would still be doing homeschool all at home with her once she starts we would just get funded through the state. What I do need help is how to help my husband with his business on the side. We would like to make more income for our family and to be able to leave something behind for them as we get older but I obviously don't want it to effect me as a stay at home mom and wife. My husband is a licensed FIFA soccer coach and we wanted to do online courses for his business because he is so busy and we're thinking and praying about growing our business. I honestly just wish I could talk to you about everything because you seem so knowledgeable about business and I would love some input from another mother that loves Christ and puts her family first 🥰 . I'm not sure how to contact you directly or how to get your classes or course to help us out but I would only pray that you read this comment and reply 🙏
I hate "bossmom" because there is no term like this for men. You can be working as a mom or dad, you just have to find your way. I also think the whole hustling and productivity-mill is a trap. We should aim to make enough money to be comfortable but we should also slow down and enjoy the present moment. I have two kids and work part-time as a teacher and this set up is perfect for us, now both my kids are in school especially. It's important to me to spend a lot of time with my kids but I also want to have my own career and make my own income. My kids love seeing me do a job I love, and I want them to know it's possible to be a mom and have a job and passion. My dad would demean my mom often saying "I pay for everything in this house" and I never wanted to be financially dependent on anyone.
I'm totally relate to you. Also a part time educator with two children and my sweet spot is being able to continue my passion but also have quality time with my children. I do have to be mindful about being present in the moment. I maybe at work thinking about my babies or at home thinking about work task. But in the end everything we do is for our children no one is perfect and we each have our own journey to take. Your doing a great job momma thank you for contributing to the field of education!
Idk how you didn’t cry, I was crying. I’ve been here since just before A was born, I was pregnant with my first as well and I loved that you weren’t like most mommy RUclipsrs. I could see you had more conviction than others and to watch you transform and see God draw your heart towards himself over the last 6 years is such a beautiful testimony of his love and patience. I’m proud of you following your convictions! Go girl!!
I’ve loved seeing you grow and share the journey with us, Hayley!!
Wow, this is amazing Hayley! To see the Holy Spirit's transformation and bringing you to Himself is so encouraging and faith strengthening! Be encouraged and keep seeking Him! I would love to hear you and your husband's full testimony sometime on a podcast or video!! Blessings over you all!
Love all your growth Hayley!
I’m so excited for this next chapter for you, and inspired! I’m 25, not yet married (ring coming soon I hope😉) and kids are still a ways away. That being said I’ve always loved your content the last few years and am even more intrigued on how this transition works for you as I hold many of the same desires/goals for my (future) family. Thank you for sharing and being so open!!❤
It’s just not natural for woman to be under that type of work/financial stress. Gods design for families is perfect.
I’m so happy for you ❤
I agree! I think some women can handle it better than me though! lol
Lmao
Amen! Hayley there is a new wave of women wanting this content. It’s so so refreshing
I also went through this phase.
I’m currently a sahm. I was a working mom when my two oldest were babies and I missed so much. They’re now 10 and 9 and I been sahm for 6 and half years now. I was able to enjoy every moment when they were toddlers and now they’re doing so good. My husband and I also have a construction business. I was home with the kids and on the phone scheduling this or checking emails, talking to customers. This went on for almost two years until I just spoked to my husband that I’m focusing on our kids and home. I’m helping with contracts and taxes but it’s not full time like before. I’m focusing on my three children and now expecting baby #4 and my husband. These couple months I been able to go out with our children more. My kids are now helping with chores without nagging. They’re doing so good spiritual. I’m slowly getting my house clean. I’m not feeling so overwhelmed like before.
Hayley , i have been watching you for over 5 years now, and i always prayed for u to do more videos related to ur kids and honestly i love your personality. You are so smart and kind. You are basically my ROLE model and please just follow your heart. Deep down you knew that only your kids and husband deserves you full attention , so happy for u. If you ever do and meet and greet i would love to meet u one day in life.
I am so exciting for this new chapter of your life! I found your channel when I was pregnant with my first and Annabelle was recently born. It is so nice seeing your journey as a mother and Christianity! 🧡
Thank you for admitting things we are scared to say out loud.
Hi Hayley. The first time I watched your channel you were doing pregnancy videos with your oldest. I was pregnant with my 4th child. All of my close friends at this time were done having children. So you were my virtual pregnant friend unbeknownst to you! It was fun to have a preggo buddy. I don’t keep up with every video but occasionally I check in to see how you are doing. I’ve seen twinkles of your faith come through on occasion. I am here today thrilled that you have found your voice that comes from your spirit! And thrilled that you have the courage to use it on your public platform. To God be the glory! When you are ready, I would love to hear your faith story ❤️.
You're such a relatable mom. Thank you for your videos
You’re speaking to me about *exactly* what I am trying to figure out for my life right now. I have this intense pull to slow down and take care of my family. I just had twins and I have two other boys as well. I have been the breadwinner for years but was recently laid off and now I want to be a traditional house wife and raise my kids to be christians .. but also want to build a business. But how? It’s a lot to sort through. I really do have to make some money- so I think you’ve really said what I needed to hear about side hustle!
This is so beautiful! Thank you so much for sharing. God is so good when we turn to Him! ❤️
I am so excited to see the turn your channel is taking! Fellow believer here 🙏 and I would love to hear your testimony and how you came to know the Lord 🤍
Such a relatable video one of your best I should say. Got teary eyed listening to you express your love of GOD, Christianity and your family. A foundation home build on Christ will always be loving, strong and faithful. These values instilled today will be remembered in your babies for the rest of their lives. PROUD OF YOU for making the best decision for your family and yourself. Serving GOD and family is why I couldn't make it work online I had to finally walk away. It has been the best thing decision I ever made. Trust the journey you're in Hayley it is a blessing for all of you. Love seeing this new you. We need to see more of this on here and the world. So many things these days are disturbing and out of control. GOD BLESS YOU and YOUR FAMILY!! 🥰🙏
So thankful that I found this video. I turned in my resignation 3 weeks ago for this EXACT reason. I wanted to create a biblical full life for my family and for my mental health and to restore peace in my heart. SOOO many people had the opinion that I was just lazy and did not have ambition and was making a mistake, but I truly just felt almost compelled to shift my entire focus to the peace of God and being a biblical homemaker.
Thank you for re assuring me in my decision❤
I loved this entire message. Thank you for sharing! ❤
I’ve watched you for a long time now and I have to say this is the most moving/impactful video I’ve seen you make. How incredible is it that you’ve had the opportunity to build this platform and now get to use it for God’s glory. That’s incredible and you should feel proud of yourself.
Yesssss!!!! Can’t wait for your videos about being a biblical woman/ wife/ mother ❤️ everything you said resonated with me so much! Thank you Hayley your content is life changing
I just love this and your journey. It made me tear up. Love what you said and I’m so happy you’ve been convicted to make a huge change and share with us. You’re an inspiration ❤
I absolutely love you! This video brings tears to my eyes. ❤ Please don’t be hard on yourself. I am in my 40’s and still recognizing and changing things. Things started to make more sense in life when I started following Jesus. I will watch and support you 100 percent! 💗
This is so awesome! God bless you and your precious family!
You're always your authentic self. Love to see it!
Hayley, I’m rejoicing! I’m so edified by hearing how you’ve responded to the Lord drawing you near. What a testimony you have! God is good all the time ♥️
I feel the same away as you. I’m quitting my job in June. I’m a teacher and me and my coworkers see how emotionally neglected these children are because they are away from their families for so much of their waking hours.
I alway love your RUclips content and every stage of your life!
Looking forward to future videos!!
Here for this!
Wow I had this today a realization that my place and purpose is to mother and never ever thought this would be a life I enjoy ie as career only and now I fall in love with homemaking everyday
❤❤❤❤ you are doing great! I am definitely going through something similar and i found God again and i feel so much better.
It makes me think of the verse, “Seek ye first the Kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things shall be added unto you.” You’re experiencing the truth of this verse, and it’s setting in on your life. It’s been such a blessing for me to follow Christ. I’m so thankful you’re encouraging others. 😊
I am crying through this video… I can see the light shining through you and you are inspiring many. If this video or your faith leads even one person to Jesus, it’s all worth it. Everything you said resonates so much with me. God bless all of you!
Hey Hayley! I am glad you are seeking the Holy Spirit guidance in your life and your family. I am the breadwinner of my family and also at the very early stages of starting a business. Unfortunately we all have idols here and there. I am glad you can see that. I wish you the best! I hope you continue to do the RUclipsprenur course, I have finished it but I haven't started RUclips as of yet.
Hi Hayley.
I'm from Brazil and I discovered your channel not long ago. I really liked your videos about motherhood and homeschooling so I subscribed to your channel. Now with this video I confess that I'm even happier for your new choise. Here we are also a Christian family and I want to include a little Bible study with my 3 children before the homeschool study. The Bible also answers all my questions about life. Sometimes we may not understand at first but if we be persistent in our prayers we can see that is true. Before it was so hard to be a housewife... now I'm starting to see with different eyes the blessing that is to take care of what's ours, to see my children growing up and to share life with them even that whit less money. I have been working remotely but now it's not my main focus. God provides, pray and you will see wonders. Your pregnancy is a blessing! Take care of yourself and your baby.
God bless everyone's family here
Thank you so much for sharing your heart ❤
My life is quite different from yours but I enjoy hearing your thoughts and explanations. ❤
I love this traditional wife era for you!!! Can’t wait to get inspired
Such an inspiring conversation. I'm a multi 6 figure online wealth hypnotist, I work 8 hours a week. I'm a Muslim too. I decided that I didn't need millions to consider myself successful. I'm a wife & mum so I'll always be successful. My family always come before my job. I have a nanny & a teacher for my kids but I'm involved in everything. My kids are involved in my business so we never feel separated. I had to work a lot on my mindset & not rush success. I never chased money & I feel like that's why I'm fulfilled in my traditional role & career
I’m living for this!!!!! ❤❤❤❤
I'm a single gal with no kids but I'm definitely here for this new phase of your life. It's like you said we all go through different seasons in our lives & in this season you now want to be a traditional wife and there is absolutely nothing wrong with that. May God bless you and your family & I look forward to you sharing more of your experiences on here 🙂❤
You have come full circle and I love it!!!! ❤
Hayley, this is so awesome! I've been watching your videos for all of these years, and I'm so glad you are following the Lord and wanting to do what He has called you to do! ❤️❤️❤️
A follow up to the comment at seeing all your stages, I completely agree and this video is incredible! You crack me up saying “gross words” 😂 I am on this journey as well! I homeschool as well and my husband is currently away in the military for a while and my relationship with God has gotten so much closer! God timing is perfect and his plan is perfect ❤ I would love to see how you balance homemaking and homeschool 😄
