As a woman who raised 6 children, I was wondering how in the world you kept up with it all! This pull back shows so much wisdom and maturity on your part. Life is full of seasons and it is wise to allow God to lead you through each one. I will pray that all will go well as you follow His guidance. God job!😊
I LOVE seeing an influencer protect their family and realize the internet is completely different from just a few years ago! Good for you for put up boundaries! More influencers need to do this!
I honestly have never understood how you have managed to be a mother, a wife, a homemaker and on top of all of that, run this business of yours. For a long time I have felt in my heart that you didn't seem that happy and that you must be exhausted. I hope you get some much needed rest and are able to readjust your business to fit your life and needs. Good Luck!
As much as i'll miss the vlogs and cuteness they come with, i completely understand and respect your choice to step back! Especially the part about always having to disrupt the "flow" of the household, so to speak, with always having the camera on, asking the kids to be quieter, etc. What i love most about watching your channel is that you can tell what a great mom you are, mostly because you're always doing what you can to make your kids childhoods/lives the best they can be. And that's all you're doing by stepping back, doing what's best for the kids and your sanity, so no complaints here! Keep doing what's best for you and your beautiful family!
I'm so thrilled for this change in content! I'm being induced with my first tomorrow and I NEED guidance on homemaking and motherhood from other Christian women! Vlogs are cute and entertaining but I'm here to learn how to be a better mother, wife, and woman of God. I'm so excited to see the videos you'll be putting out in the future. God bless you sister❤❤❤
Thank you for all of your videos, you have influenced so much in my parenting style and lifestyle I feel blessed to have found you. CONTENT REQUEST- Explaining how you implement quiet time, parenting tips ( how to handle certain meltdowns) etc, changing your mindset for the better of yourself husband and kids while overstimulated etc ILYSM thankss
I do think it's hard to have a present life when you're recording everything for the public. The best thing I ever did for myself was delete all social media like Instagram and Facebook and living a private life. It is so amazing. All of our days are numbered on this planet and I want to spend time being present with my family. Not to mention social media was making me compare my life to others and it was depressing.
I did the same thing!!! BEST decision I could've ever made for myself and my family. I don't even miss social media like I thought I would! It's great 😊
Thank you for these comments… I was contemplating a social media break and seeing these comments just was another confirmation that it’s the right decision!
As sad as it is not getting to see as much of your beautiful videos, I totaly get your decision. You deserve to enjoy this time as much as you can. I had a baby a few months ago myself and had to take a break from my writing job as well. Spending more time with your family will always be the right thing to do.
When I had my fifth baby, I got rid of all my social media access and took a 2 year long break and never regretted it. Doing what you know God asks you to do, is the best for everyone ❤. Much love!
Honestly, the amount you were uploading was insane! Never expect more than one video a week from RUclipsrs. And vlogs can be great but I find myself skipping a lot of the videos. Looking forward to the shift but also want to say CHILL OUT MAMA! If you want a break TAKE ONE! ❤️
Delilah, I've been an avid follower of yours since Theo was still in your belly! Your presence has always been comforting to me. You are inspiring, creative, gentle, and incredibly strong. I respect and accept your changes with open arms. You and your family's wellbeing is all that matters to me at the end of the day. I hope to be half of the wonderful mother, wife, teacher, and homemaker that you are some day. Thank you for everything, and I look foreward to your future content!! So much love from Sacramento :)
As a Grandmother who has followed you since Theo was born, I applaud your sharing your journey with all of us. I raised 3 boys of my own, and now we have 2 beautiful grandkids that we are helping to raise. It's hard to wear all those hats. But you and Zach must do what's best for YOUR family. I will continue to follow and cheer you on this new chapter. Your family is beautiful. Enjoy and hold them close because when you blink, they will be grown. You can't get back these times. Thank you again for sharing your life with us. We surround you all in love, light, positive thoughts and healing energy. ❤
I absolutely love how you and your husband have changed with social media and made boundaries with your family, it’s so refreshing to see ❤️ and truly following where God leads you in all aspects of life
I’ve loved the voice over vlogs. I usually watch your channel while I’m doing housework and I don’t feel like I miss too much because I hear you explaining what is happening. I don’t know if that style of content is easier for you but I love it.
Not necessarily a new idea, you mentioned homemaking, but I am so excited for more specific videos from you about homemaking, as in: laundry hacks, cleaning hacks, renovation before&afters, renovation What we've learned (we're also currently renovating and it would be super cool to hear your and Zach's tips and things you learnt), cooking inspo... legit anything. So glad you're taking a step back and following your needs and your family's needs. It's the only thing that matters
I’ve honestly been enjoying when you do a voice over with the video showing your day in the background just so that way I feel like I still get to see your routines and the littles growing up! I think it’s smart also because then maybe you won’t be so likely to hush them or push them away to voice what you want to say since you can always do that in the mornings before they wake or after bedtime. I support you and the channel no matter what! Y’all are awesome. 💜✌🏼
One day at a time Delilah! Your family needs you and you need to take the time to care for yourself in order to provide for everyone. You can’t do it all while being burnt out. Thank you for the update never feel guilty about change it’s the only way to learn better ways of managing the best life you want to live.
As I am sitting here cuddling my own baby, she's only one week old and my second child, I can only appreciate your decision. I always say that one day when I will be old, I probably won't say "I wished I had worked harder", but I'll probably say "I wished I had enjoyed my children more" because time flies by so fast! So if I have to give up work to be with my babies and soak in the time with them who cares! As long as you can financially, absolutely do it! I honestly don't enjoy vlogs so much, I 'd rather watch more theme/goal oriented content like cooking, homemaking, seasonal house decor etc so I'm very happy with the changes you're making! Love from Italy ❤
I personally prefer your sit down videos, just talking, reno videos, stuff like that, not the vlogs. I totally understand your need and wanting more privacy. We love you and your beautiful family, so do what is best for you! Sending love from Slovakia. 🤍
I’m so pleased for you! 🤗 I was just getting started with a RUclips channel and enjoying it so much, and when I had my fourth and fifth children (twins), I quit everything. I knew I just needed to be mama, and I don’t regret that decision, especially now that we have six children. It’s wonderful to hear how the Lord has provided for you, as He has for us. 🥰
I wanted to express my gratitude Delilah to you and your family, for all the sacrifice you have made to keep this channel going strong. I’m so thankful that for a season you have been able to gracefully display a healthy Christian life, as a mother and wife. As I’ve followed your channel, I’m really thankful and remember you in my prayers!
Selfishly I'm sad because I LOVE your content so much! However, cooking, cleaning, and homeschool are my favorite videos of yours!!!! I don't know if this aligns with your new boundaries but pleeeeeeease do a what I got my kids for Christmas video! I need ideas!
I've watched your channel for a couple of years now, my first child is 7 months old now, and ever since your daughter was born I have been in literal awe every time I get a post notification for a new video of yours. "How is she doing this?!!?" Has crossed my mind almost every single time. I felt called to share this. Blessings to your family.
I can not express how thankful I am to you, Delilah. You have impacted my life in so many ways, and I will be forever grateful to you. I think this is a great decision, I am very happy for you. I think you have fulfilled your purpose on youtube and I mean this in the best way possible. I feel like lately everyones starting to question the way things are online, people want to stop scrolling, step down from social media, the internet is becoming more dangerous etc. and this naturally feels like a time of change. Good luck with everything you do, you are so talented, I believe you will thrive in any new direction you go.
A thanks and a video request (ish?): I started watching your videos right before i got pregnant with my first, now im pregnant with ny second and i want to thank you so much for including faith into so much of your content. I truly feel like the lord has used you as a vessel to communicate to me sometimes when i feel like im sliping, to remind me that god is good and he has a plan for us. You have taught me so much and no matter what choices you make for your channel, cutting back, changing style, or whatever other decisions you make in the future, i will forever be grateful for how much you have done for me. That being said as a new mom with a soon to be new body i find this part of motherhood to be the most challenging. Doing a video around how you overcome the mental obsticals of your body changing so much and what you do to keep a positive mindset or other mental challenges you over came as you transitioned into motherhood might reach out to many viewers :)
I would really like a small series of homeschooling. I really would like to start homeschooling my kids but i am not sure where to even start, or how to go about it. Any insight, knowledge or just shared experiences are something i would love to hear you talk about.
Going to miss the grocery hauls with Eloise and Theo but totally understand and honor your commitment to the Lord's call on your life! I would love to see more videos about your faith life; how you work faith and scripture into your homemaking routine, more information about your faith background, and maybe even a "Bible Study" series where you talk through how you read through scripture and what your faith background teaches on the Word and the Church. Love your Channel and so happy you'll be sharing on it still
For around the last year, Theo and Eloise have hardly been doing the grocery haul, anyway. And I’ve really missed that! I got such a kick out of them!!
I became a follower as I was becoming a a first time mom. You had just has Theo and I found your birth vlog. I have found you so inspiring, positive and relatable. It's kind of funny how you are taking this step back because I have been feeling this way about my own life and been needing to remove some things from my plate. So knowing that you are also in this phase is very reassuring to me that I am not alone, I am not failing. We all need to take breaks sometimes. Looking forward to your new chapter and content!
This is so exciting! I’ve been watching since I was a sophomore in high school and I’m in college now! As a younger Christian woman, I’d love to see videos about studying the Bible and living as a biblical young woman ❤️
I would love insight into how you handle a newborn with renovations! We also renovated our bathroom while our little girl was 4-6 months and had so many issues with sleep and keeping her in the house.
Love this ❤ I think voices like yours are so important with the current culture. You make motherhood and being a wife look so joyful and inspiring. Any way you can share is sharing that with people who need to hear it.
I love videos with Zach in them! The first step to a peaceful loving home is a peaceful loving marriage… I don’t think any one couple is uniquely fit to offer advice, but it is nice to see how other folks do it.
Love this for you! Your videos and video editing are some of the best on RUclips (the vlog where you cracked the egg and the camera was pointing up at the bowl 🤯) and they’ve helped me to see the beauty in the mundane little things. Excited for this next venture for you- I’ll be following! To God be the glory ❤️
1 video a week is fine! Thank you very much! 😊 love your channel and I am looking forward to see the renovation of your beautiful home. I love to see you all your kids in the video because you have a beautiful family and i love to see how you manage to be an excellent and lovely mom. I wish you and your family the best. God bless you all.❤😊
I'll miss the vlogs but I'm excited for those renovation videos. And your sit down videos are always so relaxing and peaceful. Love watching them as part of my night time routine 🥰
My kids have loved seeing your kids! I am a little sad because I love watching your kids; however I understand that your family has expanded and things must change, its life!
ive filled you almost from the begging of your channel. I have been encouraged, blessed and challenged by what you have shared of your life. thank you for your vulnerability in motherhood but also in the artistic beauty you found in it. I have found so much inspiration in what you've done with your home and your routines. so glad you are following the lord and changing with the seasons, I have also 2 years ago completely stopped any photos of my children on social media as I know longer feel comfortable. I pray that you and your family will find this new season of your lives filled with richness.
Aww, I will miss your vlogs but that's because it helped make my life feel normal as a mom of four now, just a few months behind you. But, it makes so much sense, I was always in awe of how you managed all of that. Glad you are setting healthy boundaries for you and your family. And listening to God is so important, his plans are the best and for our good. :) I'm excited that you're excited about your new content!
Just came across your channel as I was preparing for my 4th child to be born, just so happens it was around the same time as your little Annie came. (love her name!) So very glad to be hearing you aren't stepping away completely, really enjoying the Godly content you are putting out. Really like having another young mom to watch and learn from. Really really appreciate your content! God bless! Also just wanted to say I love your house style, it just seems so calm and peaceful to me! Any chance you do home reno inspirations for other people?!
I'm happy to hear the thrifting content is going to reman because that might be my favorite content of yours besides cooking related content. Its understandable to want to take a step back with how full your plate is. Im grateful for any content but of course your family and well-being come first.
Yes, the vlogs will be missed! I have watched and loved them for years! But you are absolutely right in doing exactly what you and your family need right now. The Lord will guide you through this and He will show you the way to go - and I am sure all the people that watch your content will continue to support you! Keeping you and your wonderful family in my prayers, much love from Germany!! ❤
I’d love it if you could go back and talk about how you made your old house work for your growing family. Any tips or tricks on living in small spaces with children that didn’t make it into videos?
I love how you give God the glory for providing! I am excited for the new content. As a mom with little voices going, I sometimes feel overwhelmed by vlog style videos. 🔊📢 I found myself looking for your sit down or cooking videos and skipping the vlogs. Not because I don't appreciate your beautiful family, but because your little voices sound so much like my little voices and it felt like added chaos. 🤣
I've loved watching your channel evolve and become what it is today, regardless. I've been here since Eloise was like 8 months old 🥹 my almost 6 year old still calls your videos "Eloise" since he's watched her "grow up" too.. I'm glad you're not going away completely, and I'm even more impressed with your decision to pull back. You need to take care of Delilah, too. You're doing the right thing, although I know you probably don't need to be told that. Thank you, also, for being open and honest about being a public figure. It's hard to imagine having to deal with privacy issues amongst everything else... you're doing a great job, Mama ❤🥰
So much respect! I couldn't imagine handling a RUclips channel on top of family life! You are an amazing woman and I'm sure a wonderful mama. I've been watching your channel for close to 3 years now. My first child actually shares the same birthday as your son, William! I remember when his birth vlog was posted and feeling all the emotions, having just had my daughter. Your channel will always hold a special place in my heart. Keep doing what you feel is right for your family, I think it's beautiful that you always put them first no matter what. You are an inspiration for sure
Sweet Mama, this sounds so good! I’m so happy for you going a new direction. ❤️ I’m personally excited for some cooking/cleaning videos! I’m really encouraged through those. I pray the Lord blesses your sweet family.
The lord has called on me to make a change in my home life(be a SAHM) ty delilah for the comfort you have brought me through my journey in motherhood. May god bless you and your family❤
Love this for you guys!!!! 🎉 my favourite content of yours was always sit downs and thrifts and home renos 😁 I think this'll be so good for your family and so good for your audience. You will literally never go wrong by following your faith and where it leads you!
Im so happy to see do the best for your babies! I had to quit my job too which is a work from home also, because i need to push my baby away for her to be quiet. Nothing is worth it!
I have four kids with the youngest 10 days older than Annie. My other three are between 9 and 14 so pretty self-sufficient now and attend mainstream school. I have no idea how you look after four littlies, home school, cook from scratch and have a RUclips channel. That's a lot of hats for multiple people let alone one person! I'm glad you're switching up your content and I hope you find a happy balance for you and your family ❤
These videos are always so hard to watch, I want to start with… thank you so much for being who you are making videos and sharing your life! I’m so excited that YOU are excited about this!! 💞 But these are so hard to watch because it can feel like losing a friend! I’m so glad you’re just changing and not just leaving! The vlogs will be missed! But you’re content is amazing I’m so glad that God has been so good to you! 💞
I personally love your thrift videos the most! It’s what drew me to your channel. I would love to see a thrifting for the kids video or maybe thrifting for our bathroom renovations
Good for you Delilah. I really admired Sarah Therese for stepping back too. Life is full of changes of seasons, and just because something has been great in one, doesn't meant to last the same forever. I'm excited for that bit of extra room in your life, and what that will bring! Blessings!
I am so excited to see all renovations as you complete them over the years! How exciting but overwhelming I’m sure! I’m so excited to see all the new content from you and I’m so glad that it works for your family better, that’s what most important. They’ll always remember you putting them first and setting a beautiful example of what boundaries look like. I want to encourage you and let you know you’re an exceptional mother and wife and your family is beyond blessed to have you! Praying this new change is beautiful💗💗
This is totally the right move, recently I don’t know why- I have been feeling a little icky watching any vlogs because it feels too personal to know a stranger in that way. Also, trying to achieve the unattainable societal standards is literally womanhood and I hate that
I’m relieved for you! I’m not on RUclips but I work from home full-time and have a two and one year old. My focus is constantly divided between work, parenting, my husband, housework, etc. it’s exhausting! Good for you for deciding to pull back from RUclips so you can focus more on your family and home life. I look forward to your new content ❤
Love sit down chat content mom to mom. I think you will really enjoy keeping your sweet babies off camera & be able to nurture your connection with them in private. ❤
I have been watching your videos for probably 4 years or so, and definitely agree with how the internet has changed. I used to watch quite a few family vlogs, but recently have been thinking a lot about videos as 'content' rather than art, and privacy re children, especially with the rise of ai etc. I really hope you find enjoyment and balance in this next stage, and I particularly look forward to hearing more of your advice and renovation story!
I will definitely miss seeing your little ones and sweet moments around your home. They give me baby fever, make raising a family/parenting not look so daunting and the vlogs have honestly brightened my days, lifted my spirits when I watched 🥹. Yet, I know that your kids do deserve privacy and a childhood without cameras around.
It’s up to each person who vlogs how much to show their kids. You don’t have to show everything. And they don’t need to be in front of a camera all the time either
As a first time mom i had to step back from your channel a bit bc with a colicky baby I knew the golden perfect videos you make would make me feel even more like I’m failing. Definitely a ‘it’s me not you’ problem. Listening to this video is a good reminder that no one’s life is perfect, and that social media is a highlight reel. Hoping your find the rest you need!
I feel like there is a perfect balance out there of showing the good moments, and the hard moments. The issue is that creators fear being criticized (or worse like CPS being called) if they show the hard parts or voice any negativity. Parenting is not easy or glamorous. Personally, I would find it hard to watch these vlogs as a working mom who only has evenings and weekends to clean and have family time. I’m sure others compare their lives, feel guilt or like they can’t do “it all” or like Delilah has it all figured out. As someone who came from a single parent household, it’s easy to feel this way.
I'm so excited about this for you. No matter what you film/post I'm always quick to click on it. Thankful for your perspective on motherhood, faith, homemaking and I'm grateful you're planning to continue posting WHILE also not burning yourself out🩷
Glad to see you and your family prioritiesing yourself and your kids! Some video suggestions: maybe you could try silent vlogging, something like your night with a newborn but even without dubbing the video, just subtitles. It is a popular type of vlogs for Asian vloggers, like South Korean, and it's very relaxing to watch. Also let's you explore some new camera angles and tricks! Best of luck to you!❤
Hey for more video recommendations... I absolutely loved your video this summer about how you prepare your freezer meals and all of the fun recipes! I thought that was so enjoyable and useful!
I’m excited for the change! I absolutely could tell your channel was going that way and I’m happy about it. This is what you need. Looking forward to this new refreshed content that relates so much to my daily life
Darn I love your day in the life or week in the life videos. Although I completely understand why you’re choosing to step back a bit. Sarah Therese did the same and her new channel is awesome. I’m looking forward to the home making videos. Your decluttering series was one of my favorites.
Would love to see more videos about the homemade swaps you do for common pantry items! I make bread weekly and am always looking for ways to buy less store bought and incorporate more homemade items.
We all go through seasons and it's good to change things up to get a fresh, creative, new lease on things (and not always in a video making way). My husband and I have just come out of a waiting season and are now in a building one- putting down the paving blocks for our next season to come. Changing things up is exciting! Especially when you can see God move all the time!
Well done Delilah!! Heaven is cheering you on, ain't no better investment than your family!! I walked away from a career when my 3rd was born, now I have 8+1on the way and I have no regrets. God provides and rewards us 💕
I am a mom of 3 and work full time… so I can image how busy you must get!! I enjoy anything you share really!! I’d love to see more date night ideas or prep… as those videos may be private!
I only recently found you and have been watching your videos non stop and love your Instagram content too. Sad that there won’t be anymore vlogs but excited to see what’s to come! I really enjoy your cooking and would love to see more of your weekly meals or any meal prep you do? Making your yogurt to what’s in your coffee! Obsessed! ❤
As someone who loves having home movies, I take lots of clips of my daughter and at the end of the month, I edit a video of all the clips and post unlisted videos into yearly organized playlists that are also unlisted. Such an easy and manageable way to still document whatever you want and maintain privacy, & can share those private memories with family 🤍
So glad to see you acknowledge the vlog concerns and needing to focus on family! Of course we will miss your vlogs but your family life is more important.
As a mom I can’t follow the blogs 😅 I’m always doing o something so sit down videos or something with a voiceover I can enjoy more!! I love the change and that it will work better for you and your family 🤍
Hi Delilah, I want you to know that you have inspired my relationship values with my partner. You have inspired me to do more DIY in my home. You have inspired me to try cooking new things and when I become a Mother I'm sure, I will be inspired by you then. The way you and Zach express your love for one another and the way you talk about your relationship and how you serve one another and work as a team is beautiful. Some videos I would like to see in the future would be your morning and night routines and maybe a video on your relationship values and how these have evolved from the beginning of your relationship and marriage to now. I am so grateful I came across your channel many years ago, take care and God bless you and your loved ones.
I will always be happy to see faith based videos maybe bible study occasionally or just your insights about life marriage motherhood. For many people drawn to your channel because of peace kindness love while behind these fruits in your life is the rock - our Lord and your faith. I wish more people would understand where your everything coming from to glorify the Lord 🤍😉 love and good luck with new beginnings!!
I love watching your vlogs to get inspired to interact with my child better. I definitely understand that you need to pull back as the kids are getting older and need to respect their privacy as well as just being able to focus as a parent. You do so much as a wife, mom, homemaker and a home school teacher! I hope the new changes will be good for you and your family!
I’m so excited for the new direction of your channel! I am a professional photographer and I know firsthand how weighing it can be to create something you don’t feel excited about. I started watching your channel about 4 years ago and have loved watching your family grow and transition. But personally, I stopped watched vlogs earlier this year because I found that they made it easier for me to fall into comparison traps and feel like my life or family were less than because my children weren’t as well behaved or my house isn’t as ascetically pleasing as influencers. So I’m really looking forward to a fresh view here!
Been a silent subscriber for a little while ❤ I really love the vibe and feel relaxed watching your videos. Your channel has grown and transformed so beautifully. I would like to hear tips or how you made transitions from 1-2 kids, 2-3 and now 3-4. Even things such as bedtime routines/household tasks/alone time ect. Keeping doing your thing ❤
You’re amazing! Praise God for all the glory you’ve given to Him through your videos and praise Him for allowing you to take a step back. Your amazing and I know that God knows best and will praise Him for your choices. Trust in Him! You do that so we’ll and I hope you know there is absolutely no negative feeling or thoughts toward this change (I know that even if there was your faith would allow you to not be shaken) but I just hope you know you are loved and will be missed but there is no anger or negative feelings just joy and peace for you in your future videos (whatever they may hold:)!
the style of video you’re switching to is my favourite to watch! i love a tidy the whole house or bake/cook with me and don’t watch the vlogs as much. best of luck, delilah! x
SO GOOD! This is totally understandable and I'm so grateful for your discernment to step away in these aspects. Love hearing about how God has been faithful to you and your family 💕 Excited to see where you take your channel! (Love the thrift with me videos btw)
Amen!! I found you through renovation videos and not through vlogs. It’s scary how dark the internet is, I am protective of my daughter’s privacy because of it, so I 100% get it. I’ll still be a happy follower 😊
I just wanted to thank you. I admire you so much in the very deliberate way you make your home and raise your family. I'm adjusting to postpartum with my first child right now and I'm so grateful for your vulnerability. Please give yourself grace. You are so loved by this community. You do so much for everyone in your life, even from what we see here in your videos. You're doing a great job, and I only admire you more for the boundaries you set for yourself. Please take care, friend.
As a woman who raised 6 children, I was wondering how in the world you kept up with it all! This pull back shows so much wisdom and maturity on your part. Life is full of seasons and it is wise to allow God to lead you through each one. I will pray that all will go well as you follow His guidance. God job!😊
I LOVE seeing an influencer protect their family and realize the internet is completely different from just a few years ago! Good for you for put up boundaries! More influencers need to do this!
I honestly have never understood how you have managed to be a mother, a wife, a homemaker and on top of all of that, run this business of yours. For a long time I have felt in my heart that you didn't seem that happy and that you must be exhausted. I hope you get some much needed rest and are able to readjust your business to fit your life and needs. Good Luck!
As much as i'll miss the vlogs and cuteness they come with, i completely understand and respect your choice to step back! Especially the part about always having to disrupt the "flow" of the household, so to speak, with always having the camera on, asking the kids to be quieter, etc. What i love most about watching your channel is that you can tell what a great mom you are, mostly because you're always doing what you can to make your kids childhoods/lives the best they can be. And that's all you're doing by stepping back, doing what's best for the kids and your sanity, so no complaints here! Keep doing what's best for you and your beautiful family!
I'm so thrilled for this change in content! I'm being induced with my first tomorrow and I NEED guidance on homemaking and motherhood from other Christian women! Vlogs are cute and entertaining but I'm here to learn how to be a better mother, wife, and woman of God. I'm so excited to see the videos you'll be putting out in the future. God bless you sister❤❤❤
@JustMe-of6nx please save your toxic positivity - you don't know why she's being induced. It costs you nothing to be nice. God bless you.
We love you and support you. We don't need all the answers right now. I admire your strength and insight into your own needs ❤ Thanks Delilah.
Thank you for all of your videos, you have influenced so much in my parenting style and lifestyle I feel blessed to have found you. CONTENT REQUEST- Explaining how you implement quiet time, parenting tips ( how to handle certain meltdowns) etc, changing your mindset for the better of yourself husband and kids while overstimulated etc ILYSM thankss
I second this!! Content along these lines would be so encouraging and helpful to fellow mothers of littles!
I do think it's hard to have a present life when you're recording everything for the public. The best thing I ever did for myself was delete all social media like Instagram and Facebook and living a private life. It is so amazing. All of our days are numbered on this planet and I want to spend time being present with my family. Not to mention social media was making me compare my life to others and it was depressing.
I did the same thing!!! BEST decision I could've ever made for myself and my family. I don't even miss social media like I thought I would! It's great 😊
Totally and completely agree with you!!!
Thank you for these comments… I was contemplating a social media break and seeing these comments just was another confirmation that it’s the right decision!
@@gabriellaruhlman6688 same! Not to mention how much money I've saved from not being temped to buy junk I don't need from influencers.
I’m thinking about doing this too! Thank you for sharing your journey. Gives me courage to start my own.
As sad as it is not getting to see as much of your beautiful videos, I totaly get your decision. You deserve to enjoy this time as much as you can. I had a baby a few months ago myself and had to take a break from my writing job as well. Spending more time with your family will always be the right thing to do.
When I had my fifth baby, I got rid of all my social media access and took a 2 year long break and never regretted it. Doing what you know God asks you to do, is the best for everyone ❤. Much love!
Honestly, the amount you were uploading was insane! Never expect more than one video a week from RUclipsrs. And vlogs can be great but I find myself skipping a lot of the videos. Looking forward to the shift but also want to say CHILL OUT MAMA! If you want a break TAKE ONE! ❤️
Love where you’re channel is turning. Give us all the thrift content!
Delilah,
I've been an avid follower of yours since Theo was still in your belly! Your presence has always been comforting to me. You are inspiring, creative, gentle, and incredibly strong. I respect and accept your changes with open arms. You and your family's wellbeing is all that matters to me at the end of the day. I hope to be half of the wonderful mother, wife, teacher, and homemaker that you are some day. Thank you for everything, and I look foreward to your future content!!
So much love from Sacramento :)
As a Grandmother who has followed you since Theo was born, I applaud your sharing your journey with all of us. I raised 3 boys of my own, and now we have 2 beautiful grandkids that we are helping to raise. It's hard to wear all those hats. But you and Zach must do what's best for YOUR family. I will continue to follow and cheer you on this new chapter. Your family is beautiful. Enjoy and hold them close because when you blink, they will be grown. You can't get back these times. Thank you again for sharing your life with us. We surround you all in love, light, positive thoughts and healing energy. ❤
I absolutely love how you and your husband have changed with social media and made boundaries with your family, it’s so refreshing to see ❤️ and truly following where God leads you in all aspects of life
I’ve loved the voice over vlogs. I usually watch your channel while I’m doing housework and I don’t feel like I miss too much because I hear you explaining what is happening. I don’t know if that style of content is easier for you but I love it.
Not necessarily a new idea, you mentioned homemaking, but I am so excited for more specific videos from you about homemaking, as in: laundry hacks, cleaning hacks, renovation before&afters, renovation What we've learned (we're also currently renovating and it would be super cool to hear your and Zach's tips and things you learnt), cooking inspo... legit anything. So glad you're taking a step back and following your needs and your family's needs. It's the only thing that matters
I’ve honestly been enjoying when you do a voice over with the video showing your day in the background just so that way I feel like I still get to see your routines and the littles growing up! I think it’s smart also because then maybe you won’t be so likely to hush them or push them away to voice what you want to say since you can always do that in the mornings before they wake or after bedtime. I support you and the channel no matter what! Y’all are awesome. 💜✌🏼
thank you for being such a light on this platform, as much as i’ll miss your bi weekly videos, i so respect this decision🤍
One day at a time Delilah! Your family needs you and you need to take the time to care for yourself in order to provide for everyone. You can’t do it all while being burnt out. Thank you for the update never feel guilty about change it’s the only way to learn better ways of managing the best life you want to live.
As I am sitting here cuddling my own baby, she's only one week old and my second child, I can only appreciate your decision.
I always say that one day when I will be old, I probably won't say "I wished I had worked harder", but I'll probably say "I wished I had enjoyed my children more" because time flies by so fast! So if I have to give up work to be with my babies and soak in the time with them who cares! As long as you can financially, absolutely do it!
I honestly don't enjoy vlogs so much, I 'd rather watch more theme/goal oriented content like cooking, homemaking, seasonal house decor etc so I'm very happy with the changes you're making!
Love from Italy ❤
I personally prefer your sit down videos, just talking, reno videos, stuff like that, not the vlogs. I totally understand your need and wanting more privacy. We love you and your beautiful family, so do what is best for you! Sending love from Slovakia. 🤍
I’m so pleased for you! 🤗 I was just getting started with a RUclips channel and enjoying it so much, and when I had my fourth and fifth children (twins), I quit everything. I knew I just needed to be mama, and I don’t regret that decision, especially now that we have six children. It’s wonderful to hear how the Lord has provided for you, as He has for us. 🥰
I wanted to express my gratitude Delilah to you and your family, for all the sacrifice you have made to keep this channel going strong. I’m so thankful that for a season you have been able to gracefully display a healthy Christian life, as a mother and wife. As I’ve followed your channel, I’m really thankful and remember you in my prayers!
Selfishly I'm sad because I LOVE your content so much! However, cooking, cleaning, and homeschool are my favorite videos of yours!!!!
I don't know if this aligns with your new boundaries but pleeeeeeease do a what I got my kids for Christmas video! I need ideas!
I've watched your channel for a couple of years now, my first child is 7 months old now, and ever since your daughter was born I have been in literal awe every time I get a post notification for a new video of yours. "How is she doing this?!!?" Has crossed my mind almost every single time. I felt called to share this. Blessings to your family.
I can not express how thankful I am to you, Delilah. You have impacted my life in so many ways, and I will be forever grateful to you. I think this is a great decision, I am very happy for you. I think you have fulfilled your purpose on youtube and I mean this in the best way possible. I feel like lately everyones starting to question the way things are online, people want to stop scrolling, step down from social media, the internet is becoming more dangerous etc. and this naturally feels like a time of change. Good luck with everything you do, you are so talented, I believe you will thrive in any new direction you go.
A thanks and a video request (ish?): I started watching your videos right before i got pregnant with my first, now im pregnant with ny second and i want to thank you so much for including faith into so much of your content. I truly feel like the lord has used you as a vessel to communicate to me sometimes when i feel like im sliping, to remind me that god is good and he has a plan for us. You have taught me so much and no matter what choices you make for your channel, cutting back, changing style, or whatever other decisions you make in the future, i will forever be grateful for how much you have done for me. That being said as a new mom with a soon to be new body i find this part of motherhood to be the most challenging. Doing a video around how you overcome the mental obsticals of your body changing so much and what you do to keep a positive mindset or other mental challenges you over came as you transitioned into motherhood might reach out to many viewers :)
I would really like a small series of homeschooling. I really would like to start homeschooling my kids but i am not sure where to even start, or how to go about it. Any insight, knowledge or just shared experiences are something i would love to hear you talk about.
Agreed!!
Going to miss the grocery hauls with Eloise and Theo but totally understand and honor your commitment to the Lord's call on your life! I would love to see more videos about your faith life; how you work faith and scripture into your homemaking routine, more information about your faith background, and maybe even a "Bible Study" series where you talk through how you read through scripture and what your faith background teaches on the Word and the Church.
Love your Channel and so happy you'll be sharing on it still
For around the last year, Theo and Eloise have hardly been doing the grocery haul, anyway. And I’ve really missed that! I got such a kick out of them!!
I became a follower as I was becoming a a first time mom. You had just has Theo and I found your birth vlog. I have found you so inspiring, positive and relatable. It's kind of funny how you are taking this step back because I have been feeling this way about my own life and been needing to remove some things from my plate. So knowing that you are also in this phase is very reassuring to me that I am not alone, I am not failing. We all need to take breaks sometimes. Looking forward to your new chapter and content!
Your vlogs have been therapy for me. Every time I wanted to cry, I turned on your vlog. I'm very sorry that they are no more, but I understand you.
This is so exciting! I’ve been watching since I was a sophomore in high school and I’m in college now! As a younger Christian woman, I’d love to see videos about studying the Bible and living as a biblical young woman ❤️
I second this request!
I would love insight into how you handle a newborn with renovations! We also renovated our bathroom while our little girl was 4-6 months and had so many issues with sleep and keeping her in the house.
Love this ❤ I think voices like yours are so important with the current culture. You make motherhood and being a wife look so joyful and inspiring. Any way you can share is sharing that with people who need to hear it.
I love videos with Zach in them! The first step to a peaceful loving home is a peaceful loving marriage… I don’t think any one couple is uniquely fit to offer advice, but it is nice to see how other folks do it.
Love this for you! Your videos and video editing are some of the best on RUclips (the vlog where you cracked the egg and the camera was pointing up at the bowl 🤯) and they’ve helped me to see the beauty in the mundane little things. Excited for this next venture for you- I’ll be following! To God be the glory ❤️
1 video a week is fine! Thank you very much! 😊 love your channel and I am looking forward to see the renovation of your beautiful home. I love to see you all your kids in the video because you have a beautiful family and i love to see how you manage to be an excellent and lovely mom. I wish you and your family the best. God bless you all.❤😊
I'll miss the vlogs but I'm excited for those renovation videos. And your sit down videos are always so relaxing and peaceful. Love watching them as part of my night time routine 🥰
My kids have loved seeing your kids! I am a little sad because I love watching your kids; however I understand that your family has expanded and things must change, its life!
ive filled you almost from the begging of your channel. I have been encouraged, blessed and challenged by what you have shared of your life. thank you for your vulnerability in motherhood but also in the artistic beauty you found in it. I have found so much inspiration in what you've done with your home and your routines. so glad you are following the lord and changing with the seasons, I have also 2 years ago completely stopped any photos of my children on social media as I know longer feel comfortable. I pray that you and your family will find this new season of your lives filled with richness.
I am 6 weeks postpartum and I'm just sitting here crying because I relate so much to how you feel.
I would love to see toy rotations and toy organization and cleaning and general organization videos please :)
Aww, I will miss your vlogs but that's because it helped make my life feel normal as a mom of four now, just a few months behind you. But, it makes so much sense, I was always in awe of how you managed all of that. Glad you are setting healthy boundaries for you and your family. And listening to God is so important, his plans are the best and for our good. :) I'm excited that you're excited about your new content!
Just came across your channel as I was preparing for my 4th child to be born, just so happens it was around the same time as your little Annie came. (love her name!) So very glad to be hearing you aren't stepping away completely, really enjoying the Godly content you are putting out. Really like having another young mom to watch and learn from. Really really appreciate your content! God bless! Also just wanted to say I love your house style, it just seems so calm and peaceful to me! Any chance you do home reno inspirations for other people?!
I would love to see "homemade kitchen restock" videos, or even just cleaning videos. They're so inspirational for me and just satisfying to watch 😂
I'm happy to hear the thrifting content is going to reman because that might be my favorite content of yours besides cooking related content. Its understandable to want to take a step back with how full your plate is. Im grateful for any content but of course your family and well-being come first.
Yes, the vlogs will be missed! I have watched and loved them for years! But you are absolutely right in doing exactly what you and your family need right now. The Lord will guide you through this and He will show you the way to go - and I am sure all the people that watch your content will continue to support you! Keeping you and your wonderful family in my prayers, much love from Germany!! ❤
I’d love it if you could go back and talk about how you made your old house work for your growing family. Any tips or tricks on living in small spaces with children that didn’t make it into videos?
I love how you give God the glory for providing!
I am excited for the new content. As a mom with little voices going, I sometimes feel overwhelmed by vlog style videos. 🔊📢 I found myself looking for your sit down or cooking videos and skipping the vlogs. Not because I don't appreciate your beautiful family, but because your little voices sound so much like my little voices and it felt like added chaos. 🤣
I've loved watching your channel evolve and become what it is today, regardless. I've been here since Eloise was like 8 months old 🥹 my almost 6 year old still calls your videos "Eloise" since he's watched her "grow up" too.. I'm glad you're not going away completely, and I'm even more impressed with your decision to pull back. You need to take care of Delilah, too. You're doing the right thing, although I know you probably don't need to be told that. Thank you, also, for being open and honest about being a public figure. It's hard to imagine having to deal with privacy issues amongst everything else... you're doing a great job, Mama ❤🥰
So much respect! I couldn't imagine handling a RUclips channel on top of family life! You are an amazing woman and I'm sure a wonderful mama.
I've been watching your channel for close to 3 years now. My first child actually shares the same birthday as your son, William! I remember when his birth vlog was posted and feeling all the emotions, having just had my daughter. Your channel will always hold a special place in my heart.
Keep doing what you feel is right for your family, I think it's beautiful that you always put them first no matter what. You are an inspiration for sure
Sweet Mama, this sounds so good! I’m so happy for you going a new direction. ❤️ I’m personally excited for some cooking/cleaning videos! I’m really encouraged through those.
I pray the Lord blesses your sweet family.
The lord has called on me to make a change in my home life(be a SAHM) ty delilah for the comfort you have brought me through my journey in motherhood. May god bless you and your family❤
Love this for you guys!!!! 🎉 my favourite content of yours was always sit downs and thrifts and home renos 😁 I think this'll be so good for your family and so good for your audience. You will literally never go wrong by following your faith and where it leads you!
I would love to see more short form content from you, and Instagram photos!
Im so happy to see do the best for your babies! I had to quit my job too which is a work from home also, because i need to push my baby away for her to be quiet. Nothing is worth it!
I have four kids with the youngest 10 days older than Annie. My other three are between 9 and 14 so pretty self-sufficient now and attend mainstream school. I have no idea how you look after four littlies, home school, cook from scratch and have a RUclips channel. That's a lot of hats for multiple people let alone one person! I'm glad you're switching up your content and I hope you find a happy balance for you and your family ❤
Prayers to you and your family girl. Thank you for sharing your life with us!❤
These videos are always so hard to watch, I want to start with… thank you so much for being who you are making videos and sharing your life! I’m so excited that YOU are excited about this!! 💞
But these are so hard to watch because it can feel like losing a friend! I’m so glad you’re just changing and not just leaving! The vlogs will be missed! But you’re content is amazing I’m so glad that God has been so good to you! 💞
I personally love your thrift videos the most! It’s what drew me to your channel. I would love to see a thrifting for the kids video or maybe thrifting for our bathroom renovations
Good for you Delilah. I really admired Sarah Therese for stepping back too. Life is full of changes of seasons, and just because something has been great in one, doesn't meant to last the same forever. I'm excited for that bit of extra room in your life, and what that will bring! Blessings!
I am so excited to see all renovations as you complete them over the years! How exciting but overwhelming I’m sure! I’m so excited to see all the new content from you and I’m so glad that it works for your family better, that’s what most important. They’ll always remember you putting them first and setting a beautiful example of what boundaries look like. I want to encourage you and let you know you’re an exceptional mother and wife and your family is beyond blessed to have you! Praying this new change is beautiful💗💗
I love seeing family be your priority. We need more of this! I hope the Lord blesses and gives you joy and peace in this new season! ❤️💯
This is totally the right move, recently I don’t know why- I have been feeling a little icky watching any vlogs because it feels too personal to know a stranger in that way. Also, trying to achieve the unattainable societal standards is literally womanhood and I hate that
I’m relieved for you! I’m not on RUclips but I work from home full-time and have a two and one year old. My focus is constantly divided between work, parenting, my husband, housework, etc. it’s exhausting! Good for you for deciding to pull back from RUclips so you can focus more on your family and home life. I look forward to your new content ❤
Love sit down chat content mom to mom. I think you will really enjoy keeping your sweet babies off camera & be able to nurture your connection with them in private. ❤
I have been watching your videos for probably 4 years or so, and definitely agree with how the internet has changed. I used to watch quite a few family vlogs, but recently have been thinking a lot about videos as 'content' rather than art, and privacy re children, especially with the rise of ai etc. I really hope you find enjoyment and balance in this next stage, and I particularly look forward to hearing more of your advice and renovation story!
I will definitely miss seeing your little ones and sweet moments around your home. They give me baby fever, make raising a family/parenting not look so daunting and the vlogs have honestly brightened my days, lifted my spirits when I watched 🥹. Yet, I know that your kids do deserve privacy and a childhood without cameras around.
It’s up to each person who vlogs how much to show their kids. You don’t have to show everything. And they don’t need to be in front of a camera all the time either
Trust in the Lord. Lean into Him and all will be clear. Blessings
As a first time mom i had to step back from your channel a bit bc with a colicky baby I knew the golden perfect videos you make would make me feel even more like I’m failing. Definitely a ‘it’s me not you’ problem. Listening to this video is a good reminder that no one’s life is perfect, and that social media is a highlight reel. Hoping your find the rest you need!
I feel like there is a perfect balance out there of showing the good moments, and the hard moments. The issue is that creators fear being criticized (or worse like CPS being called) if they show the hard parts or voice any negativity. Parenting is not easy or glamorous. Personally, I would find it hard to watch these vlogs as a working mom who only has evenings and weekends to clean and have family time. I’m sure others compare their lives, feel guilt or like they can’t do “it all” or like Delilah has it all figured out. As someone who came from a single parent household, it’s easy to feel this way.
I'm so excited about this for you. No matter what you film/post I'm always quick to click on it. Thankful for your perspective on motherhood, faith, homemaking and I'm grateful you're planning to continue posting WHILE also not burning yourself out🩷
Glad to see you and your family prioritiesing yourself and your kids! Some video suggestions: maybe you could try silent vlogging, something like your night with a newborn but even without dubbing the video, just subtitles. It is a popular type of vlogs for Asian vloggers, like South Korean, and it's very relaxing to watch. Also let's you explore some new camera angles and tricks! Best of luck to you!❤
Hey for more video recommendations... I absolutely loved your video this summer about how you prepare your freezer meals and all of the fun recipes! I thought that was so enjoyable and useful!
I’m excited for the change! I absolutely could tell your channel was going that way and I’m happy about it. This is what you need. Looking forward to this new refreshed content that relates so much to my daily life
Darn I love your day in the life or week in the life videos. Although I completely understand why you’re choosing to step back a bit. Sarah Therese did the same and her new channel is awesome. I’m looking forward to the home making videos. Your decluttering series was one of my favorites.
Would love to see more videos about the homemade swaps you do for common pantry items! I make bread weekly and am always looking for ways to buy less store bought and incorporate more homemade items.
We all go through seasons and it's good to change things up to get a fresh, creative, new lease on things (and not always in a video making way). My husband and I have just come out of a waiting season and are now in a building one- putting down the paving blocks for our next season to come. Changing things up is exciting! Especially when you can see God move all the time!
Well done Delilah!! Heaven is cheering you on, ain't no better investment than your family!! I walked away from a career when my 3rd was born, now I have 8+1on the way and I have no regrets. God provides and rewards us 💕
I am a mom of 3 and work full time… so I can image how busy you must get!! I enjoy anything you share really!! I’d love to see more date night ideas or prep… as those videos may be private!
I only recently found you and have been watching your videos non stop and love your Instagram content too. Sad that there won’t be anymore vlogs but excited to see what’s to come! I really enjoy your cooking and would love to see more of your weekly meals or any meal prep you do? Making your yogurt to what’s in your coffee! Obsessed! ❤
Thanks for being an example of putting your family first and submitting yourself to Gods will for your family. ❤ I've learned a lot from you.
As someone who loves having home movies, I take lots of clips of my daughter and at the end of the month, I edit a video of all the clips and post unlisted videos into yearly organized playlists that are also unlisted. Such an easy and manageable way to still document whatever you want and maintain privacy, & can share those private memories with family 🤍
I am so happy for you! I would looovvveee to see homemaking content and house decor/home updates! 💕
So glad to see you acknowledge the vlog concerns and needing to focus on family! Of course we will miss your vlogs but your family life is more important.
Lovely Family 👨👩👧👦 so peaceful
Wish you all happy lives
I’ve been facing the reality of needing to slow down in my own season of motherhood. thank you for being so real & discussing this!
Actually I really loved your sitdown videos the most! I am excited with you! Thank you that you are not stopping completely!
As a mom I can’t follow the blogs 😅 I’m always doing o something so sit down videos or something with a voiceover I can enjoy more!! I love the change and that it will work better for you and your family 🤍
Hi Delilah, I want you to know that you have inspired my relationship values with my partner. You have inspired me to do more DIY in my home. You have inspired me to try cooking new things and when I become a Mother I'm sure, I will be inspired by you then. The way you and Zach express your love for one another and the way you talk about your relationship and how you serve one another and work as a team is beautiful.
Some videos I would like to see in the future would be your morning and night routines and maybe a video on your relationship values and how these have evolved from the beginning of your relationship and marriage to now.
I am so grateful I came across your channel many years ago, take care and God bless you and your loved ones.
I will always be happy to see faith based videos maybe bible study occasionally or just your insights about life marriage motherhood. For many people drawn to your channel because of peace kindness love while behind these fruits in your life is the rock - our Lord and your faith. I wish more people would understand where your everything coming from to glorify the Lord 🤍😉 love and good luck with new beginnings!!
I love watching your vlogs to get inspired to interact with my child better. I definitely understand that you need to pull back as the kids are getting older and need to respect their privacy as well as just being able to focus as a parent. You do so much as a wife, mom, homemaker and a home school teacher! I hope the new changes will be good for you and your family!
I’m so excited for the new direction of your channel! I am a professional photographer and I know firsthand how weighing it can be to create something you don’t feel excited about. I started watching your channel about 4 years ago and have loved watching your family grow and transition. But personally, I stopped watched vlogs earlier this year because I found that they made it easier for me to fall into comparison traps and feel like my life or family were less than because my children weren’t as well behaved or my house isn’t as ascetically pleasing as influencers. So I’m really looking forward to a fresh view here!
Been a silent subscriber for a little while ❤ I really love the vibe and feel relaxed watching your videos. Your channel has grown and transformed so beautifully. I would like to hear tips or how you made transitions from 1-2 kids, 2-3 and now 3-4. Even things such as bedtime routines/household tasks/alone time ect.
Keeping doing your thing ❤
You’re amazing! Praise God for all the glory you’ve given to Him through your videos and praise Him for allowing you to take a step back. Your amazing and I know that God knows best and will praise Him for your choices. Trust in Him! You do that so we’ll and I hope you know there is absolutely no negative feeling or thoughts toward this change (I know that even if there was your faith would allow you to not be shaken) but I just hope you know you are loved and will be missed but there is no anger or negative feelings just joy and peace for you in your future videos (whatever they may hold:)!
the style of video you’re switching to is my favourite to watch! i love a tidy the whole house or bake/cook with me and don’t watch the vlogs as much. best of luck, delilah! x
SO GOOD! This is totally understandable and I'm so grateful for your discernment to step away in these aspects. Love hearing about how God has been faithful to you and your family 💕 Excited to see where you take your channel! (Love the thrift with me videos btw)
Amen!!
I found you through renovation videos and not through vlogs. It’s scary how dark the internet is, I am protective of my daughter’s privacy because of it, so I 100% get it. I’ll still be a happy follower 😊
I just wanted to thank you. I admire you so much in the very deliberate way you make your home and raise your family. I'm adjusting to postpartum with my first child right now and I'm so grateful for your vulnerability. Please give yourself grace. You are so loved by this community. You do so much for everyone in your life, even from what we see here in your videos. You're doing a great job, and I only admire you more for the boundaries you set for yourself. Please take care, friend.
seems very reasonable and authentic :) happy for you! 🌼
