I think Ziya will really appreciate you as a mom as she gets older. Although she’s more on the shy/timid side when it comes to trying new things, I think you do a really great job of preparing her to try them. Just talking to her beforehand and letting her know what to expect probably eases her mind and maybe even gets her a little excited when the time comes! So happy for you two 😊
Raven’s don’t let nobody touch your hair speech, is such universal Black girl’s experience. I remember my mom telling me all the time, in elementary school. 🤎
Psa sorry to say, swim caps don't actually protect the hair. They weren't designed for that. They are meant to a) streamline the swimmer for optimally cutting through the water and b) protect pool drains
And also to protect the braids she has, so it won’t get frizzy that fast. But it’s a year a go, so I think - if so - you definitely found out by now hahaha! ❤
We have really watched Ziya grow up. I was sitting here smiling the whole first 6 mins seeing how long her has gotten, seeing how big girl she is as she was moving her pillows for bed and wearing her scarf like we use to wear our scarves back in the 90’s!! Awww . And our niece first set of braids.
It so nice to see Ziya so excited to share something with mommy. Got to see a little bit more of her personality in this video as well. She is such a sweetheart.
My daughter has been away for two weeks in a whole other country, this video just made me miss her so much more. Ziya and her are months apart, I discovered your channel right when you posted your labor vlog. To see how you both have flourished is a true joy and you have no idea how your journey in motherhood has helped mine so so much. Than you for sharing so much of yourself with us, imma subbie for life!
Beautiful hairstyle. I liked when she came home from school and her hair was all over the place - that shows she had a wonderful day at school. hahahaha! Ziya's swimming is coming along well ... she is going to be a champion by the end of summer season! Don't forget now ... you have to have a final swim of the summer party ... then a home movie outside to follow! Instead of a fence could you add bushy trees? It might be hard to get a lawnmower back there with a fence. ☀️🏊🏼♀️. Have a great summer Ziya!
Anytime you post a video and I see your progress I get so happy. I done cried with you, hurt with you and it’s so good to see you happy and just being a boss and a great mom. I hope you keep your page forever so ziya can see what a good woman you are and how you’ve come full circle !!!
Wow! Ziyas hair is soo long which is not surprising since Ravens is too and her ponytails are absolutely just the cutest! and Chef Tony’s braids are soo beautiful and Raven hair is growing back quickly too.
Swimming caps ‼️‼️ what we used to use to also protect our hair from the harsh pool chemicals and preserve hair styles (don’t quote me if that’s not true 😅)… they are relatively cheap and easy to find in sports-type shops
My momma used to say I can't get in the pool because the pool will mess up my hair especially after a perm or my hair just got washed. I try to put a cap on but if falls off
Blessings to you and Beautiful Ziya. I Love the care and relationship between Mother and Daughter. Hair care is very important. Showing Ziya pictures of different box braids styles with of girls that are like her. Is showing the beauty of loving her self. It's wonderful to see your family growth within your business and to maintain it. Continue success and Love. Your blogs gives me joy. Keep Living and Loving.💕
Raven, it's a full-circle moment for me! I found your channel years ago when looking for box braid tutorials. You had a video where you gave yourself (I think red) long box braids and I've been subscribed ever since! lol
She reminds me so much of myself when I was little, I remember my mom always being overwhelmed by my hair because I had so much just like Ziya! I remember getting my braids for the first time 🥲 such an experience, I felt so cool and pretty!
Ziya looks just like your SISTER!! 😍 i just can’t believe how much she’s growing ! I love the braids and how you allow her to pick the style she wants! I think that’s so cool! 💕
I can’t get over how big Ziya is I first started watching you during her 1st birthday 🥹, love how you show options for hairstyling little girls hair and the process. I know it isn’t easy especially when we have to manage our own heads!! Her hair turned out so good!!!
Her hair came out really cute! I always do jumbo braids in my daughters hair because she's impatient lol and has a a lot of hair. Just a suggestion try to find a swim cap specifically for natural hair/braids to preserve her braid because too must exposure to water can lead to fuzziness and shorter wear time.

Raven, you and your beautiful village of loving peoples have done a great job in raising Ziya. How are you doing Raven? So many people are looking great on the outside, but inwardly we just never know how one is doing. So it’s always good to sincerely ask. 💜💜💜
Ziya's hair came out so good!!!! Here's a big tip for her hair, your hair & anyone's hair before getting in the pool saturate the hair with tap water! You don't want to be putting dry hair into pool water or ocean water or any kind of water that contains chemicals or minerals, the hair acts as a sponge. Lastly rinse the hair immediately coming out of the pool & if she is playing in the pool on a daily basis frequently give her fresh water rinses in between. The best case scenario would be if she could wear a swim cap & if you can get her a cap still keep with the fresh water before capping and the fresh water after. Hope she is enjoying her new style, she's so adorable! Take care.
Ziya is so beautiful and the braids looks so cute and beautiful 🤩 🥰. Her hair is so long☺️. Raven u are a great mom🙌🏾. She always ask Ziya for her own opinion before taking any decision 🥺, so cute 🥰. The end when she offered u the fruit punch 🥺🥰.
Is Ziya able to wear a swim cap??? That would be good for her hair style to be saved as well.. no chlorine exposure everyday to her hair 😊❤️. Loving the pool and upgrade ideas momma!!!!
@@AngelaaJoyy oh I figured something is better than nothing preserving our hair.. buy a good one like I had when I was young my hair barely got wet. It was mostly my edges surrounding baby hair… but it was tight 🤷🏾♀️
So Beautiful Ziya and she did so well getting her hair done she looks so much like her Grandmother Toni And Raven you are such a beautiful inspiring mother
Awe bless her, Ziya is such a cutie 🤗. Her hair looks great. She's really coming along with her swim lessons. Great job Ziya 😊 Keep up the good work 😘 xo
I been swimming since i was 5, my mom would spray my hair with leave in conditioner and I would wear a swimming cap. There’s different sizes for caps that can help fit in the braids. This help to keep my braids last longer.
Ziya’s braids look soo nice and I love the beads. 🥰💕 She did good getting her hair braided, such a big girl. The swim lessons are coming along very well. 👏🏽
The best part was the ending... Ziya: Do you want some of this sweet fruit punch? Raven: That look like dirty pool water to me. (But yeah, I'll take a small cup.) 💛💛
Ziya is so sweet and innocent I'm not even sure she realizes the life she has. 😂😂 she probably thinks most kids have a pool in their backyard. 😂😂😂 I love when mom asked her if she was excited to show her friends the braids her little eyes had a twinkle of excitement.😂😂❤️🥰
She does have friends without pools so I doubt that. To her credit she is smart and has been alot of places. She also saw it being built having not had one prior. Lol
Ziya is so well behaved and seems very respectful to you. I wish you can give some tips on how that was created it seems so naturally done. I know it’s not a typical video but would really love that knowledge
Just a thought! You could also do privacy trees in the backyard!! They might be a little taller and hide more of your house and also add some more greenery! We have them at my house and they are actually so pretty!

Omg Ziya is growing so fast! A black girl’s passage to box braids, she look annoyed like we all did when we first got them but she looks so cute

I love how we see Ziya grow up without you overly exposing her to the internet
??? She is exposed
@@lanadelslay69 But not like overly exposing her
@@lanadelslay69 i wonder if you know what "overly" is
i think she means not having technology at her hands like sticky ipad kids have to day.
@@LOGAN-wh5sg nope. The context of the OG comment is in the subject of youtubers exploiting their kids. "We(audience) see Ziya grow up"
Girls, is it normal to just wait a whole week for this exact notification top pop up and feel so overwhelmed by joy when this actually happens?? 🤩🤩🤩
She’s the best 💛
yesss
Raven’s don’t let nobody touch your hair speech, is such universal Black girl’s experience. I remember my mom telling me all the time, in elementary school. 🤎
Raven: Look into getting Ziya a swim cap to protect her hair, chlorine will lighten her hair color.
I was just about to type this. A swim cap will be a great help to preserve the style and the health of her hair.
Psa sorry to say, swim caps don't actually protect the hair. They weren't designed for that. They are meant to a) streamline the swimmer for optimally cutting through the water and b) protect pool drains

I love that you were able to have the stylist and the swim instructor come to your home. I would love that cause I hate being around a lot of ppl lol.

Swim caps still let water in , they’re just to make swimmers more aerodynamic I think
