You were the first RUclipsr I ever followed, and I actually learned English by watching your videos! 😅 I still remember freaking out when you celebrated my 14th birthday on Twitter. ❤ Now I’m 22, and it’s so emotional to look back at all the changes you’ve gone through and realize how much your videos shaped me. You were like a big sister teaching me how to exercise and do my makeup etc. and I never would have imagined learning English from a stranger online and eventually majoring in it.
I have loved your transparency about screentime, co-sleeping, breastfeeding etc. ❤ I think you show more of a realistic view than most other influencers do
I think you are doing a wonderful job at parenting your two sweet little boys. Protecting their privacy is important and I am sure they will appreciate that when they are older. Love your creative play ideas with the scavenger hunt and the toddler stations. Also love the way you incorporate cuddle time into each day. Your boys are so blessed to have you as their momma.
Such a lovely video! 🤍 Having toddler stations in every room is so smart! I also love the scavenger hunt idea. I don’t even have kids yet, but I’m taking notes. 😅
I feel like we are living such parallel lives but from different sides of the planet 🇦🇺 thank you for making me feel so human and seen as a mum. I found you in my last trimester and currently finding my feet as a mum of two to a 21 months old and 11 week old! Your content speaks to me on such a deep and supportive level! Thank you for being here and sharing your journey!
Ugh, the "what do I do?" moments are so relatable. When my LO is napping or finally goes to bed at night my ADHD kicks into overdrive. It's so hard to pick and focus on one thing because it all needs to get done. Loved this sweet vlog!
I love how much intention you put in with sharing your life with your children without sharing them! I think you do a wonderful job of being thoughtful in what you share!
I've been subscribed to your channel for years now and watch for you, not for your kids. Anyone who thinks you're being over protective aren't aware of the consequences of children being put online. You obviously respect your children and are doing what you think is best for them. It's really admirable
You have such a way of making your vlogs super cozy, positive and hopeful yet super realistic. Been a watching for many years. Loving you in your mommy era 💞 what a bad a** momma!
this was so nice to watch. I just had my first and the "What we want to share online" struggle is real. MY mom isn't very happy about it but we are also not showing our child's face online. And I also think its a safety thing as well as a privacy thing. So it was nice to hear someone else actively talk about it.
I’ve watched you since you lived in your apartment in Toronto I think it was. You’re the only RUclipsr I still watch. So much respect for you protecting your children’s privacy online. I think it’s definitely the right move!
My absolute favourite types of vlogs, so cozy comforting serene and real😍 being a mom of a toddler myself, what a comforting watch😊☁️☕️ I have been growing up with you, thank you for these pockets of inspiration , light and wisdom✨🧚
I have watched you since I was in high school. I’m 26 now and it’s insane to see how our lives have changed. You have a mom glow now and it’s beautiful
You are doing an awesome job protecting your children’s privacy! I would do the same! I’m glad you’ll have these videos to look back upon as time does go by so quick. Thanks for sharing a snippet of your non life!
LOVE watching these, Kalyn! I'm due with my first in April and videos like these that share the reality of motherhood are so helpful for me -- so thank you! 💖
I love working out with our 10 month old. She’s walking already, and will mimic some of the movements which is adorable. Such a tiny human doing squats with me is maybe the cutest thing she does? We like doing The Class which is a lot like a dance party for her and a high energy yoga class for me.
aaahh i love when you upload, i could watch your vlogs all day! from different seasons of life too. i can see the vlogs take time to get views but in case you worry about that, trust that those of us who are still watching truly enjoy! i get extremely excited to watch your vlogs and i ALWAYS watch them on my tv not on my phone
Im so excited for the black friday sale , just got my multivitamin . I havent used them before but because you are so thorough with your sponsers - I trust them !
ironically enough, this video was meant to go out a month ago but has taken me this long to edit through the footage. Thank you for your patience with me in this season of life. I also tried a new thumbnail design and would love to hear feedback -- I like that it's more clean but worry it may not be easily eligible 🤍
I love the thumbnail! Honestly taking your time to do things is just how it is when you are so busy with your new life. I know for me reading has been difficult adjusting to his I have to read slower than what I used to. I hope you're having a great day Kalyn!! ❤
Hey Kalyn! Graphic designer here 👋🏼 I agree it’s a nice improvement, def more clean! To help with legibility, if you are tied to the this font, you could try adjusting the space between the letters in each word (leading) as it’s a bit generous currently for a script font were the letters are supposed to be connected. You could also make the white text pop more by adjusting the color behind to create more contrast, you could do this by increasing the saturation or choosing a darker shade. There are actually tools online you can use to test if text/background color contrast passes accessibility standards. Just my two cents, take it or leave it! Glad to see you’re thriving 🤍
I Like it but it is a bit more difficult to read for me And don‘t mind about uploading! You are a mother of two 😊 everyone who also has children understands 🙃
I just love your videos so much - been following you for a few years now, since you were still in Kingston, and it's so joyful to be able to watch you be a mom now. I can't wait for my turn to come ! 😊 Anyway, just wanted to tell you how much I love your content. ❤
You're a wonderful mum. I can't remember my mum doing cuddle time and showing your kids how ever you want to or not is totally fine. It's YOUR choice. 😊
Your children will definitely appreciate you recording them growing up. Children do grow fast so it’s best to record now before the future comes. My father record me, my sister and my mom back 1994 we were in Seoul South Korea. There was a festival going on and looking back those video when I was in my 20’s I feel so appreciated for my dad recording the VHS video.
This is so encouraging. I’m five weeks postpartum with baby number 2 and I have a 2 1/2 year old as well. I’m so nervous about taking care of both of them solo when my husband goes back to work. This video makes me think I can maybe do it lol
Just thinking about how many things you do in typical day with your kids and on top of that you are filming it! You are a super mama. Such an inspiration for me. I love your style of parenting and also how beautiful and sunny the house is. I really like the idea of having a different area for your kid in each room. Makes so much sense. I am not a mom yet but it's a big dream of mine and watching you makes me tear up each time.
I think there should also be talked about the fact that mothers who send their kids to daycare for multiple days a week have more energy or motivation to set up these great activities while then trying to get something done. You once mentioned you send Easton to daycare 4 days a week. If that is still accurate the amount of time you have to entertain him is then limited to 3 full days and not 7. It just makes a little difference in the energy a mother can bring up to get this creative all the time.
I also cosleep with my 15 month old and unfortunately many people around seem to think it’s wrong 😓 so it’s been so nice seeing you doing it too. I wanted to ask how do you get your oldest to sleep at daycare since you’re not there to cuddle him? That’s one of my main worries with my son. I’d also love to hear if you’re comfortable more about the cosleeping journey 🥹❤️
My body can believe it (especially my back) but my mind still has those “oh my stars, I’m shepherding two little humans into the world” moments. 😂 Also eep, 4 months is such a fun baby age 🥹 still so small but suddenly so interactive!
After a few months, I also decided to take the route of giving my son internet privacy. I've had some people say it makes my videos impersonal but I feel better knowing that AI can't get to him and if he wants to have an online presence then he can choose that when he grows up.
I missed this space in that short mountain of stunted editing!! I have an over a months worth of vlogs to share and wintery days to start getting out soon too! 🤍🤍
I started having that feeling around 9 months too! I lasted until my daughter was 1 and we thought alright people say it's more difficult to get pregnant with baby #2 so let's try early. LOL the first month we tried we got pregnant. They will be basically two years apart. May and June babies, but we couldn't be happier at the thought of them growing up so close in age 😊
@@heather6404ohh I love that!! ❤️😭🥰 unfortunately I can’t get pregnant naturally. I have to go through fertility treatments. But I got pregnant right away when I did fertility treatments. I think we want to start fertility treatments again in 2 years since I have a lot of weight to lose and I have to be careful because I had GDM with insulin and most likely will happen again so I have to eat super super super clean! No sweets and low carb 😅
I love your passion and am all for open advocacy that comes from a place of wanting everyone to live full of joy and truth, but what works for one person might not work for another so let’s all just LIVE AGAIN ♥️ Let no one be discouraged by anything other than their internal compass! Love the people, pleasures and treasures all around you whoever you are, ayyyy!!

It’s refreshing to see a mom vlogging who protects her children’s privacy. Much respect 💕
I love how you show what life is like as a mom while protecting your their privacy!
Once again, thank you for posting such warm, real but hopeful content, thank you, thank you, thank you 💕

Wow thank you for saying that 🥲🤍
My favorite video so far! It is so nice and relaxing to watch how you handle two little ones with such patience. Good job! Thank you for the video❤
You’re such a wonderful mom and you look so happy and healthy. 😊
Good for you for protecting your children ♥️ I’m a new mom and I totally appreciate your point of view.
I have watched you since I was in high school. I’m 26 now and it’s insane to see how our lives have changed. You have a mom glow now and it’s beautiful

The most comforting videos❤️
I am currently 38 weeks, love this!!
Absolutely love the good vibes from this vlog :)

I also tried a new thumbnail design and would love to hear feedback -- I like that it's more clean but worry it may not be easily eligible 🤍
I like the new look, although it did take me a couple of seconds to figure out what the text said. Might just be a me-thing though!

I like the script font but had trouble reading the M of it. (Take all the time you need, no apologies ever needed.)

Everyone's life circumstances are different. This doesn't make her sharing some tips and ideas any less helpful or encouraging.
She stated a good point to remember, it doesn't mean she dont value her energy as a mom@heather6404

“All I ever do is dishes and laundry”
“I need to catch up on drinking water”
Girl I FELT THAT
Can you believe you are a mom of 2??? ,so crazy. I've been watching you for so long,
Me myself i have a 4months baby, life changes are so crazy
My body can believe it (especially my back) but my mind still has those “oh my stars, I’m shepherding two little humans into the world” moments. 😂
Also eep, 4 months is such a fun baby age 🥹 still so small but suddenly so interactive!

they are adorable
Welcome back
the pizza you made looked 10/10
Adding another child is a whole other level!
I missed you so much Kalyn !!!
I missed this space in that short mountain of stunted editing!! I have an over a months worth of vlogs to share and wintery days to start getting out soon too! 🤍🤍
Ohhh I missed youuu ❤
I feel like co sleeping is just so much easier when they are little ! ❤
I have an almost 9 month old and I’m so ready for baby #2! This is giving me major baby fever over here ❤😭❤️😭❤️😭❤️
I started having that feeling around 9 months too! I lasted until my daughter was 1 and we thought alright people say it's more difficult to get pregnant with baby #2 so let's try early.
