Mom to 3, ages 12, 10, and 8 here! As to your content post-children, it is a good and wonderful thing to have something that is YOURS and separate from your role as a mother. That being said, it is good and wonderful to want to share your excitement about your new role, your child, new experiences, etc. As you said, RUclips is community for you and I bet the vast majority of your people will stick with you no matter what you post. ❤
I completely agree! I also have 3 kids and I wholeheartedly agree on keeping something just for you with motherhood. Great input
This will probably be the unpopular comment on here but I'll throw it out there anyway. My husband and I are child free. I got married at 32 and never had a desire to have my own kids. We talked about it before we got married and were both totally fine not having kids. I got my kid fix as a kindergarten teacher and now I'm retired (early). My husband is retired too and we enjoy our time together so much. We are very active in our church. We did Children's Ministry together for years. We do volunteer work. We travel all over the world. We sponsor a child in the Philippines and got to meet him as a teen. That was the best moment ever! We help my aging parents who live around the corner from us. We have plenty of things to do. What I've heard from people is there is never a good time to have a child. Don't wait for a good time to have one. I see posts regularly from people (including family) who are always complaining about how tired they are and that their kids are driving them crazy, etc. If you want to have kids, you need to be all in--both of you. As a teacher, I saw all types of parents. I certainly saw examples of what not to do. Lol. I also feel that it's okay to wait to have kids. I see how much it changes people's relationship. Establish that strong marriage. That is super important. Don't lose that spark between you. Continue to have date nights. We have one every week without fail. Obviously, with kids you will have to adjust it to meet your needs but don't neglect it. Wait for God's timing. His timing is perfect. Whatever you decide will be great. I appreciate you chatting with us. You don't have to but you choose to and I like that.
How can that be disagreeable to anyone? You did have children, hundreds in your life. Sounds well rounded.
We decided to be childfree and life is blissfull. I love children and I've taken care of many children throughout my life but I felt like I couldn't do it. Everyone has different experiences with children. Some wonderful & some terrible. I would see parents so stressed out all the time totally harassed and some really depressed and they drink a lot to cope with it all. I have a calm quite life and I'm looking after my partner after he had an accident and I also look after my mum & dad and I work & I don't feel like anything is missing from my life x
@@Donna-cc1kt Thank you! If anyone asked me how many children I had, I would tell them the current number I was teaching. They'd pause and give me a funny look then say, "Oh! I get it!"
@@hazelscobbie8290 Sounds wonderful! Sorry that your partner is hurt. Hope he heals quickly.
It's a long process because he's waiting to get a metal rod removed from his leg and 2 knees replaced. It's Been 2 years since a 3 ton vehicle rolled on to him while he was working. Despite that were happy and content with our life. Many people think that it's a shame we don't have children or they feel sorry for us or they think we have a medical problems but it's just our choice x
Girl, trust me...when you become a mom it is so all consuming at the beginning that it takes up all your emotional energy so you don't even have the space to talk or think about many other things. You are also usually so head over heels in love with your baby that it is all you want to talk about. HAHAHA! I never ever ever thought I would be that person either but then I had my first and it's all I talked about for years. I am back to feeling more like myself now (my kids are 8 and 5) but I bet one day you will look back at this video and giggle to yourself. You will be making "what I pack in my diaper bag" videos in no time. ;) It's kind of like "wedding" or "bride" videos. When you're in that life stage, it is so exciting to talk about it. When you're out of that life stage, you roll your eyes at it. You couldn't pay me enough to watch a video about preparing for a wedding now (which is literally an overpriced party that takes place in one day). When I was 25, I lived for those videos! I was here for them!
Daniel’s dream is truly amazing!! What an amazing God centered safe place. Ok, baby talk you guys will know when it is ready!! My husband and I had a moment when God talked to us both about starting a Sunday school class for mentally handicapped people in one of our churches. That was truly amazing to see God work in that way. The way the pastor knew he had a good sermon was when our Sunday school class would want to get saved each Sunday. But it was a good calling for a short period for us!! India I love this GRWM talks.
I love moments like that when you both feel lead by the Holy Spirit !!! And are on the same page in your marriage 🫶😭 it’s just so special!!! It’s the best 💛 that sounds like such an incredible calling btw !!!!!! So so proud of yall
Once I got "baby fever" I couldn't focus on anything else. My heart longed for a child. Once my husband and I had our baby (now 1 year old!) my entire world shifted. I struggled with postpartum anxiety. Terrified of anything that could possibly happen to my son. I did get help and eventually was able to just enjoy him (sleep deprivation and all!). I honestly never imagined I would ever love this fiercely. I know everyone says this, but the love of a mother is POWERFUL. The best thing I've ever experienced. ❤❤
So exciting! My husband and I just started trying to conceive last month for the first time! (The YT rabbit hole on fertility and TTC is so fascinating!) We've been married for two years now, he's 40 and I'm almost 32, so we're really praying that we don't experience infertility. But I find so much comfort knowing that God is sovereign, and He'll walk with us through whatever happens. ❤
amen and amen. icant say amen enough to everything you said! We serve a BIG God with BIG plans for your family rebecca. i cant wait to see what He does next in your marriage XXX
My mom got pregnant with me first try at 35 and had no complications during the pregnancy or delivery. Wishing you a smooth conception and delivery!
There is nothing like being a mama. Being able to hold and nurture another human has brought out in me a fierce love I never knew I had. One thing that being a mom has done is show me what really matters, and peeling back those layers, although painful at times, is beautiful.
Having your husband say that to you, you have no idea how precious of a daddy he's going to be! Guys being good dads is so attractive and you'll find yourself seeing him in new ways. It's amazing what God put into us for the right moments.
Love so much that you're making your partnership rock solid before starting a family 💖 Im so happy for you guys! Enjoy your journey, wherever it takes you.
I really just want us to be so rock solide before kids. I have had so many friends have kids and the tears their marriage apart. I do not want that to be our story 🫶 you are the best! Thank you for your kind words of encouragement
@@indiabatson26 your marriage will be stronger and healthier, as will your parenting 💖 Those kiddos would be so lucky to have you two!
Jessica Braun is a great example of a beauty influencer who had kids and beautifully incorporated them into her RUclips Channel....she still does pure beauty videos, but infuses her channel with the occasional glimpse of her kids. It can be done.....You will be great and congratulations on everything!!!
She is the first person I thought of too! 😊 This is their job- most people don’t bring their kids to work! 😂 Your work can be the exact same after kids 🥰
I am a SAHM, this is what I feel God has called me to, and I LOVE it 😇♥️
Congratulations on the new business! There is definitely nothing wrong with going to therapy whatsoever . Like becoming better, stronger, healthier for you and your marriage , I mean win win. As for kids, definitely don’t until you are both ready bc that can cause problems later sometimes, from things I heard from others. As for your channel you can make it however you want it. You can make it a mixture or you could even do a separate “mom life” channel. Bianca does both. Just do whatever makes you feel good and happy is key❤
I can’t wait to see you packing your kiddos lunches and your mamma Baston loving on her grandkids! 🐣
You’re stunning and so smart and mature (even though you feel like a 10 year old). You and Daniel will be such wonderful parents when the time is right. I am a clinical rehabilitation counselor and I work in a methadone clinic with individuals who have very deep drug addictions. It is such amazing and rewarding work. Congrats to your hubby. I wish him the best and every success. 🎊 🎉
Thank you India for sharing so openly! I'm 25 and I'm not ready for kids either but I just love hearing your story! God will guide your marriage y'all are on the right path! Love it I will be here no matter what you post love you long time
You do not have to include mom stuff unless you want to, it’s totally up to you. You can continue as you are, you are awesome by the way! Or you can include mom stuff. I think your subscribers will love you and continue watching you regardless 🥰 As far as babies, you will never be ready emotionally or financially in a perfect way. If you wait for that exact right moment, it’ll never happen! It will pass you by, so if you are feelin’ it, I say go for it! A baby is the greatest blessing you will ever have ❤️❤️❤️🥰🥰🥰
Yes! Marriage therapy is adding tools in the toolbelt for when you need it, you’re prepared. ❤
You're badass. You're asking the right questions and building a solid, healthy foundation for your family and your future. 💝
uhhh you are the SWEETEST!! Thank you babe. YES! I want our foundation to be solid bc babies can rock ppls relationships and thats not going to be our story
I am so happy for you and Daniel! Going to couples counseling pre-crisis is the smartest most loving thing you two can do, congratulations! Congratulations on his new business, yes till it gets off the ground its going be front and centered all the way so be patient as you have been and know it won’t last forever and you two can get back to being you two! I totally understand your trepidation of removing the IUD and acne so understandable the risk and something so painful physically and emotionally is always hard to put yourself in. You guys will know when its right to have a baby, the risk of taking the IUD out wont be so scary and I suspect you will be quite thoughtful about your future, so for now try and relax and enjoy the new chapter in your life, the business!
I have one toddler and I'm currently pregnant. I was deeply afraid of losing myself and I do think I struggled with becoming a mom because I'm very independent and, I'll admit, probably a little selfish before having kids. That being said, I love everything about being my toddler's mom. It drew me closer to God and you truly experience life in more color. It's beautiful. I do know that my personal Instagram and life has shifted more to feature that aspect of my life, but I make sure that my life includes things for just me. Daniel strikes me as very supportive and that's what you need in your partner when you feel like you're disappearing into motherhood. I could talk about this for hours, it's such an important topic. I think that you're very conscious of it already so you'll get through the early trenches and truly get to experience the best of both worlds. ❤
You can have the best marriage ever, and a baby can still turn it upside down! Communication is key, and always making sure that you remember you are a team and your eyes are on the same prize/goal of being Godly Parents. No one is perfect, and reaction times will vary. You both have different upbringings too that will model how you parent, so discussing that in therapy will help as well. I am a working Mama (CCU RN), but i wouldn't have it any other way. I love your channel, BTW! It is such a breath of fresh air! 😍
I'm 58 and I LOVE REAL and I just want to say again...I LOVE YOU. You're open honest, real, genuine, fun, funny, and friendly. Your mama and daddy did a great job raising you, and you make my heart happy, India. You are my hair twin, and I started waatching you in early 2020 when I first realized that my hair was actually quite wavy/curly and not just floofy, frizzy, and disobedient...but I had NO IDEA how to handle it. I stay now, more than 3 years later, because even though my own kids are 33, 30, and 26 and I'm old enough to be your mom, you are my "friend" now and I genuinely care about you and your family and your life. Stay as sweet and real and open and honest as you are. It's beautiful and special. You are a rare gem in a far-too-fake world. Sending big hugs. :)
I love this because I have always been on the fence about having kids and just not sure I would ever want any, and putting my fiance off on it for years now and we have finally gotten in a situation where we both feel like we think we're ready. I'm still petrified of the whole experiance and honestly maybe not ready.. but one step at a time. I just turned 31 on St. Patrick's day and now 10 weeks pregnant! I'm so afraid I won't be a good mom cause I love my space and alone time so much. Balancing work and alone time feels almost impossible now, idk how a kid is gonna fit into that.
I feel you. I'm the same. Feeling petrified and I like my alone time. I can't imagine how a baby will fit into my life.
When I think of a baby for India and Daniel, I picture the most amazing, beautiful little human being in the world. I think you will make the best parents ever. India you are a beautiful soul inside and out Daniel seems that way to. Can't wait to follow you on this amazing journey.
Such big exciting life moves! New house, new business... congratulations to you and Daniel!
I have been a mom for 9.5 years. Let me tell you, you will not regret it for a minute. I can tell what a nurturing woman you are and I believe you will be a great mom. Looking forward to watching this next phase of your life. It only gets better and better!
This is very wrong to say... I know it comes from a good heart and with a good intentions, but you can't predict that she would not regret it.
And if she would, she would feel ashamed and afraid to ask for help if she hears a lot of comments like yours... Some people do regret having kids (even though they love them to pieces!!).
I love you, India! You're such a ray of sunshine! Every time you post I make sure I take some time to watch it through. I look up to you in so may ways being a couple of years younger. Just hopped on here to say :whatever happens to your content I'll still watch it and enjoy it ❣
❤ I have kids of my own and all i have to say is...... look at your relationship with your mom. You two seem to have a very close relationship. You will feel the same way about your kids that she feels about you and vice-versa! Kids are the biggest blessing on earth. I say take out the birth control and god will give you your blessing when the time is right. Good luck!
Hey girl! ❤ As a therapist, I love that you guys are going just to make your marriage the best it can be while it is already strong and learn different ways to connect and understand each other for the future. Unfortunately, if a couple is in crisis, the damage is done, it takes an extremely committed and aware couple to work on new things and truly make a change. I hope it brings new wonderful aspects to your marriage! I will say with the IUD, in my experience, your fears are accurate. Wait to take it out until you know you want to start trying. I had mine for almost 10 years (I got a new one at year 7) and got it out a year and a half ago and my body is still adjusting to the surge of hormones. My skin got bad again for a while (thank you Head and Shoulders shampoo as a face wash for finally clearing it up!) and I definitely put on weight and experienced a change in my body even though I was eating better and working out an even harder program. All of our bodies are different, of course, but there is no way of denying it is a change of hormones and all the chaos that causes! I'm so happy for you guys and your marriage and hope for only the best for you coming down the road!
The IUD removal hormone roller coaster is REAL!!!
Thank you for sharing this!! I just don't feel ready to have kids yet, but wondering how I'll know when it's time. Maybe it'll be this unexplainable feeling similar to what you have
I love you girl!!! It feels good to just feel like i'm listening to a conversation one on one, please keep doing these!
You may never feel ready for kids. And even if you do, it will still be different and more challenging than you imagine. I thought I was ready, but boy was it an adjustment! Praying God guides you to the right timing for you, and honestly so excited to see you enter that season! ♥️🤗
Yesss do “pack my kids lunch with me” videos haha do anything you want we’ll be with you no matter what
I just wanna say I love these types of videos from you, India. Sometimes I watch them when I feel lonely and I feel like I have a friend in the room with me. I’m so happy for you and Daniel and wish you the best 💕
Kids are challenging but the best decision ever. But please please keep them off of YT. It is shocking to me how patents share so much of their children, stuff that can never be deleted. They have a right to privacy at least until they are old enough to understand the consequences.
I love the way you talk and see things. You’re simply genuine. Love from France 😘
Had a baby at 18 and another at 21. Now 23 with my tubes ties. I had mine young. Took a huge toll on me. Me and my husband dont have a huge family so its just me as a sahm and him working alot so it takes alot out of me but wouldn't change it. They are only little once. Adore you guys. ❤
India I wanted to let you know that I went on Accutane many years ago for the same exact problem; The acne never came back. I haven’t been on anabiotic and it completely went away, so don’t let that scare you away from having children even if the acne did come back children are so worth it. But I promise you God bless you please inspiring!
India, I love your comment about feeling like a 10yo 😂 I’m almost 29 and honestly I feel like a ditzy teenager most days, like I have nothing in life figured out and no idea where I’m going even though I have a college degree and a mostly steady job … I still feel so insecure about myself and I appreciate how you also share your insecurities openly and honestly 😊💗
My bf suggested couples therapy just to help us communicate better cause sometimes we just don’t see each others perspective, but he’s dedicated to building a life with me & honestly that was the hottest thing to me. So many men refuse to go to therapy even when there are serious problems & knowing he’s willing to do that just to improve our relationship means so much to me.
Omg that's so amazing that Daniel created a business to help people thrive. You picked a good one!!!
I was 30 and my husband was 34 when we had our son. We waited until we were in a good financial spot, jobs, etc. This is going to take a sad turn just to give you a heads up, but just something I suggest you do while pregnant or not long after your child is born. Prepare a will, make sure you each have access to everything, etc in case something should happen to one of you. We never worried about that because of being young, but my husband died in a freak accident a couple months ago at 35. Our son is 1.5yo. On top of that being incredibly difficult, trying to navigate everything on my own (of course I had my parents, but my husband and I planned NOTHING because we thought nothing bad would happen to us) and not having a will, it's just a lot on top of dealing with his death and navigating being a single mom, I'm rambling, I'm sorry.
Oh sh**t, I'm so so sorry you are going through this...
I'm sending you a virtual hug, not that it will change anything 😢
Life can be so unfair.
I wish you that from now you will have only good things coming your way ❤
India Congratulations to you and Daniel. My husband and I have been married for almost 12 years. We started trying to have our
first baby and it took me about two years to get pregnant bc of some hormonal issues I have. Then our first baby came and three months later we decided to start having our second. It took us two years to get pregnant currently 19 weeks with our 2nd baby. We love, love being parents. We been doing the Montessori method and I think is all about how you raise your kiddos. Everyone is shock at how well my baby girl who is almost two and half is able to play on her own she loves to sing with Daddy loves books. Anything hands on she loves. May God bless your plans and yup there is no perfect time but when it happens it becomes perfect you shall see. God bless you!!!
Can I just say your eye colour is GORGEOUS!!!!!! And you are too!!!!
Woo hoo 🎉 congratulations on everything!!! So proud of your husband! That is great
I’m so proud of him 😭 THANJ YOU FOR BEING EXCITED WITH US
I love insta but your YT seems more supportive than insta lately and not from anything on your part just a trend I’ve seen EVERYWHERE really. I’m happy for you both and glad you’re both on the same wavelength. I’m honestly not in any relationship (which is pathetic considering I’m 26..) and I’ve never really wanted kids. I’ve briefly thought about kids but I don’t want any. My sister is the same and she’s married. Luckily we have a family that’s supportive of that and not many can say that because it’s “strange” when a woman doesn’t want kids. I’m very very supportive of any woman that wants kids. Mothers are amazing. Anyway I’m rambling but enjoy this chapter of both of your lives together. I’m happy for you both. Side note love this:
“I can handle it, honestly I probably can’t handle it” 😂 legit the same
Girl! You are so beautiful and sweet. I love to watch all of your videos. Its so sweet that yall are coming to a new stage in life. We are here for it though! Girl, I'd watch whatever content you go with! ❤
We have just learned to do the things we love while making it work for our child. We still hike, beach, bike, garden etc. And the little one loves it all ❤
Embracing the adventure of life, whether be kids or business or career is a roller coaster ride. Just remember to enjoy the present and life will go the direction it should go
No constructive criticism on your makeup it looks great!! 😍 I love being a mom it’s seriously the best. You guys will love it 💖
Some days I don't like him, some days he doesn't like me, but he still loves me omggggggggg literally life
You are a real one India! Thank you for being open and honest ❤️ It helps to hear sometimes that marriages and relationships are not always perfect. Especially from someone so public… love from the Netherlands 💕
I always love hearing your views on things in life in general! I love your honesty and wanting to get everything completely rock solid before having kids. Even with perfect communication and everything kids can make the best relationships shaky (learned from experience haha) and it’s great you guys are creating the best foundation you can. As far as post children content goes, I’d watch no matter what as I just adore your content and personality and appreciate your honesty!
Congratulations to you and your husband's new road on your journey! God Bless.
Makeup looks great! Congrats to Daniel. I live in the ATL area, so yay for local businesses and entrepreneurs! I also used to be a therapist in the first part of my career, so yay for therapy too! I've been a SAHM ever since my son was born about 13 years ago, and I've loved it. LOL at the thought of lunch-packing videos. My son has taken his lunch every single day of school, has never bought in the cafeteria. And packing his lunch daily for so many years is so mundane and not sexy haha. Anyone who can have fun with that on video, props to them : )
That’s amazing news! I hope everything works out for Daniel and I think you will make amazing parents. That’s also very mature of you to make your relationship rock solid for future family.
So exciting and so happy for you guys and the next chapter in your lives! Im Mommy to 5. I just had my last baby 2 months ago and i just want to give you all the baby dust and all the positive vibes i can give you. Its such a blessing being a momma even though it is VERY scary (and exhausting) but its also SO rewarding. Its a different kind of love and people told me that before i had kids and i never understood until i had them. It truly is a different kind of love. I cant wait for you to experience it and if you end up mommy vloging i am totally in. I have really enjoyed watching you grow as a person. Ive been here for many years from before marriage to after marriage and i am here for it. Best best best of luck India and God Bless you and your family. ❤
Hi India. Thank you for this awesome video. You guys will be great parents when you decide to have kids. It’s great that you are going to therapy together; this sets a good foundation to make your marriage stronger and will help ease and smooth the transition into parenthood. Sending lots of love and blessings your way. 💕😘💕
hearing u just talk sometimes is so therapeutic like I have been fearful of the future and knowing we all have those moments is really grounding alsoo congrats on ur husbands successes🎉
I hope the best for you, I’ve always enjoyed watching your videos. Keep them going with whatever content you feel comfortable with. I pray God will bless you and your family.
This might be controversial but I'm very opposed to "Mommy blogger content" well, atleast if your children are constantly shown. Mostly, because it can basically be child labour & because children deserve privacy.
If theres a way to keep children anonymous while making child-related contend, I have zero problems with it though.
I think the topics child labour, privacy & child ab*se are unfortunately often overlooked when it comes to mommy bloggers & family account...
Hello, glad to hear you’re doing good. Your skin looks fantastic! I did Accutane 8 years ago and it was the best thing I did. I do micro needling and that got rid of the scarring I had as well as a lot of my wrinkles. You’re gonna make an amazing mom! You can continue your beauty videos but incorporate how your makeup and beauty routine changes when you have a kid and stuff like that. Take care🥰
Do you have any permanent side effects from it
I don't normally comment but felt compelled to do so after watching this post. You have a very healthy approach strengthening your marriage and asking yourself about being a mother. Congratulations to your husband on his new organization! What an amazing vocation. As for motherhood... it is the most amazing, challenging and rewarding adventure! Enjoy the journey through the curve balls and rainbows as you continue to build your wonderful marriage and explore expanding your family.
Here is some food for thought when thinking of how motherhood could impact your future work: Your content will evolve and that's natural. You can be a voice out there sharing how you set aside time for you. So many new moms (and old moms for that matter) forget to take care of themselves and rarely carve out that time for self-care. It's important and healthy to live life with balance. You can help others, who are considering motherhood, are pregnant, who are already moms and those who are not moms, remember that "me time" shouldn't be an afterthought. All women need to remember self-care and the inspiration on how to achieve it while laughing along the way. As a mom, you will also will have all sorts of new material. Perhaps it could include helping other new moms understand how hormones impact hair and body. For example, after my son was born, my hair change drastically. I went from having barely wavy fine hair to full-blown curly hair! I had to learn (and still am learning) a whole new way to manage and style my hair.
Good luck and enjoy every exciting moment of marriage, children and entrepreneurship!
Very happy for the two of you. The world needs more families like you. So God bless you and your family. Make sure your folic acid is folate. Pink Stork.makes a good one. ☺
Eeeek all of this is so exciting! So happy for y’all ❤
thank you for being excited with us!
I'm so happy for you guys! You both are allowing each other to live out your dreams! That's exciting! Praying Daniel's new business succeeds!
Good for you guys for being proactive in marriage counseling! Also, I understand that fear about removing the IUD and reverting back to the acne you had. I have not heard of that happening, but I also haven't looked into. Hopefully you can have peace of mind whenever that happens.
Props for making sure your marriage is rock solid before kids! Having kids is a wonderful thing, but a strong marriage in place first makes a huge difference!
Long time follower!! I started watching in college 6ish years ago and we’re about the same age. I feel like I’ve grown with you and it’s been so fun to see your journey 🥹 wishing the best to you and daniel!!
Thanks for keeping it real! LOVE your makeup! 😍
It’s sooooo important to work your marriage before problems start, it’s awesome you guys are able to do therapy together! My husband and I are expecting our first baby and we’ve been talking a lot about how to keep working on us while raising a small human.
Also, I love these videos and your hair videos and I don’t think you need to do the mommy blogger thing if you don’t want to 😂
Love the blush lip. I'm gonna try it.
Sweetie I only found your channel a few weeks ago and I adore you ❤. Your so kind and watching you smile lights up the screen. Thank you for sharing your story life and updates with us ❤❤❤❤
Girl, you’re not alone! I just celebrated my 30th birthday last November and I may not be married or have kids (FYI, I’m not ready to be a mom yet but I have settled into my role as an Aunt, I’ve been an Aunt since I was 24) but A lot of major changes have happened in my life since I turned 30; Only having one of my parents alive (I lost my dad when I was 26), I didn’t start independently until three months before my 30th birthday and people who work in my field in my hometown have really started to notice me. I have two sisters that are my age (a twin and an Irish Twin). My twin is in a relationship but her boyfriend hasn’t popped the question and my Irish Twin is not only settling into a role as a mother but for certain circumstances has decided to leave her husband who she has been with since high school.
I turned 29 today and my husband will be 30 this year…I feel this so much I’m kinda scared to have kids but it’s been in my thoughts lately! Me and my husband were at the beach and we both looked at each other seeing little kids everywhere and I told him that I thought that’s what our lives will look like in a couple years and he said he was thinking the exact same thing 🥰
Bless you n yer family you guy's are doing an awesome job n just love each other n never give up.
Congratulations on the business! So exciting.
You do just know when you are ready for kids if it's something you want. I was 31 when I had my first and 36 with my second, so you have time to decide, don't worry about your age.
Having kids changes your priorities, suddenly your life isn't just about what you want or need to do, but their needs and wants come first, however thar doesn't mean your business focus needs to be impacted. On the flip side if you find a natural shift in your content it will be because being a mum is an important thing for you and you naturally feel drawn to share that experience. It doesn't have to be packed lunch box prep 😂 (my least favourite job after ironing) but it can just be sharing your mum style and what's important to you on how you incorporate this new 'hat' into your life and personality. This was a big thing for me and the journey you go on as a mum is amazing, though challenging at times as you shape other humans in to their own wee selves. (But important to remember to retain some semblence of self which I did struggle with a bit).
Good luck with it all! I am sure it will all be great.
PS my fave mascara is Moodstruck Twisted by Younique - 2 different wands make it badass! ❤
Yes! Have all the babies! ❤
So excited for you guys whatever life and God brings. If you do become mommy blogger, India I'm sure most of us will still follow. But if not thats great to. As moms we may give of ourselves but we dont have to give up ourselves and all the things we enjoy that make us who we are. Another thing to consider is what level of privacy would you and Daniel prefer for a future child? The internet is harsh enough to us as adults definitely discuss how comfortable you are sharing a child on the internet. Best wishes in all your endeavors ❤️
The way you laughed after “Pack my kid’s lunch with me.” 😭💀 Your makeup looks beautiful, and I’m excited to get more updates about these new seasons of life. Also congratulations to Daniel!! 🥳 Love you girl. ❤️
I totally understand your worries about what will happen to your content after you become a mother, but rest-assured, it won't suffer, it'll just grow. It'll grow and morph in beautiful ways. It'll mature with you, just as it always has. Right? ❤️ You have grown while your channel has grown, and you know what? So has your content AND your viewers...your LOYAL viewers, I might add....
I went through so many changes during the time I've watched your videos. During covid, I discovered my poofy hair was really wavy/curly hair wanting to come out, and that's how I discovered your videos. I've cried with you over your vulnerable posts as I've gone through my own vulnerabilities...after marriage I experienced a miscarriage...then my hubby had to work long-distance for 10 months while we grieved and juggled trips to try to get pregnant again....when we did get pregnant again, our pregnancy was wrought with worry and scary news.
BUT! (Praise God for "buts"!) But now we have a beautiful baby that turns 5mo old tomorrow and he is God's miracle. I cannot look into his eyes without getting emotional.
Motherhood is (not going to lie) the WORST and BEST THING a woman can do. Right now, I know who I am, but I don't get to hang out with who I am. Lol, it's hard to explain. Mothers describe it like, "I've lost myself," but the truth is, I don't feel like I've lost myself, I just miss her...but I know she's one of those best friends where we can pick right up where we left off when we meet again....so I'm just patiently waiting for motherhood to allow more time for me to enjoy my own hobbies again. In the meantime, my baby is a beautiful part of my story of life, maturation, and growth, and if you have a baby, it'll be part of your beautiful story, too...just as it ought to be. If it is God's will, everything will fall into place...A new place, to be sure, but a good one.
Don't be afraid of what beautiful changes in your life will do to your channel. We all know it can only make your content more raw and beautiful.
Let go and let God…God’s timing is perfect. Be in the moment and enjoy each other. I thought I wanted to be married for 5 years before having kids…God had a different plan and I got pregnant after 3 1/2 years. I was scared because it wasn’t my plan or timing. God’s plan is always perfect. Just trust….you got this!!!
Mochi makes the difference in the video, in full concentration ! Wish you the best from France for the future.
Its such an exciting time when you actually start to TTC 🙈 Like the first time I was so exciting, googled a lot also to get to know my cycle better
Now I am currently pregnant with Baby Nr 2 and it is still really excing. I post on IG a lot about my every day life and of course stuff with my 11 month old because I am a mom and hes so little. The most time of the day he is with me. But being pregnant, mom and a student is also really challenging and I am happy when in September I will have my Bachelor and then have Baby nr 2 end of oktober or in November. We will never know when the right time for our babies is to come to us 🍀
I fell in love with entrepreneurship literally with a newborn. That baby just turned 18 and never once have I incorporated them into my entrepreneurial journey...because my journey had nothing to do with kids. All that to say, you're about God, make up, paying it forward with advice to younger women, being a model, actress, into design, all sorts of things. Those can stay your focus! Lots of people are tired of raising their own rug rats... not all of us need incessant mommy stuff online. We come online to escape that. I. guess to say it more bluntly, listening to you, I feel strongly that you are capable of saying "NO KIDS" for any videos, not out of any protecting kids from exposure online, but from "that isn't this channel." You two will have gorgeous children though and you're free to do whatever the heck you want. :-)
I always enjoy your videos especially the girl chat ones. Thanks for being here and sharing your thoughts with us ❤
The BEST mascara = Maybelline Lash Discovery waterproof mascara in Very Black...I have been using it for DECADES!!!
Girl you are gorgeous inside and out
Girls, so are you 😭🫶💛
Awesome news!!! Best of luck to you and hubby... You both got this
You are THE SWEETEST ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Excellents products. Rocked this make
Am jealous that you and your hubby have more of an understanding with the kid thing. My boyfriend wants kids and I do not. It gets us into arguments so much. Though when you mentioned marriage counseling I think that might be in my future
know that you are NOT alone. SO MANY people feel this way in relationships including many of my friends. i think its hard bc there isn't really a compromise with kids. i HIGHLY recommend therapy for you or both of yall. its honestly so healthy to discuss with a non biased third party. i cant recommend it enough!
I'm 26 turning 27. My boyfriend and I have been dating for the past 2 years and we have talked about marriage and kids. I personally want 7 kids Lord willing. 😊
Oh being a mama is the best! There is just nothing like it. I'll watch your videos whatever you choose to do! We are the same age but I feel like such an old lady because I have 3 kids but I also feel like I should still be 16 and I'm a baby still.
I totally get you when u said all if a sudden u felt like babies were on your mind , I honestly think it’s God because I’ve had the same thing happen to me , but in a completely different situation , like you I’m terrified but I know God will go before me and help me with what he’s calling me to do and the same for u
U are so real kudos to you !!!!
India!! Where I’m from it’s normal not to have kids til you’re like 33-35 ish! I have a lot of friends whose parents we’re almost 40 when they were born. There is no rush at alllll
lucky wee baby - you’re sweet & kind & fun 🌈
Happy weekend, India!❤❤
Have a great weekend !!!
You too!
We love you!!!!! 😻😻😻😻😻
happy Friday!! So very excited for you two to move on to the next adventure. Soon anyway lol. You will make a wonderful Mom :)
you are truly so so kind
Hey - we're with you on your journey!
There are lots of resources for dealing with coming of birth control! I really liked Beyond the Pill by Dr Jolene Brighten. It was kind of a rollercoaster for me, but it helped feeling like I was as prepared as I could be.
