“ my goal for today is just to survive” … I felt that tremendously
😆🫶🏼
Same 🤣🤣
Me everyday with my 2 year old and baby 😅
Watching you grow as a person, and your kids grow into people is such a blessing🤎
so sweet 🥹 thank you so much for being here!!
You’ve always inspired me to want to be a young momma. Currently due with my first in July and feel so encouraged and excited to be a Christ-like mom by watching your content. ❤️
I'm also pregnant with my first due in July 😊 I've learned so much from her channel
We decided to go the Montessori floor mattress route with our son and recommend it!! He is 14 months and has been on a queen sized mattress on the floor since he was 4 or 5 months old. We put bumpers around the edges of the bed (even the sides that are against walls) to keep him from rolling off when he was really little. We removed those when he started crawling over them and kept pads on the ground so he would have a little "step" to help him crawl on and off the mattress. He was crawling at 7 months and walking at 10 months. I truly think the floor mattress really helped develop his gross motors skills. His room is also "Montessori style", not much he can get into and has a few toys he can safely play with by himself. Being able to crawl off his bed and go play with toys really motivated him to learn how to move around. :) We love it!
Seeing you be a mama in the playroom talking segment really warmed my heart & touched me. It was so obvious how much joy, love, & contentment it brought even while you were exhausted & had a tough night. Thank you for shining the Lords joy & being an example! 💛💛💛💛
I think the floor bed is a great idea! You should look up the Hapa Family on RUclips, specifically on floor beds and how to set up the infant room! 😃
Milena! We LOVE Sprout Kids Montessori furniture! It would match your aesthetic too - pretty baltic birch! They have a couple beds, including floor bed! My Dad gifted us the wardrobe when I was pregnant and doing our daughter's nursery. It was such amazing quality that we bought the weaning table, and most recently the toddler learning tower for our 18 month old as a Christmas gift. Everything has been super high quality and their customer service is amazing. Made in the USA - in Utah.
I only have two kids but mannn I totally understand when u said that you pray constantly to the lord because It just truly helps to know that he will always have your back especially when it’s a hard day, literally makes me cry thinking about it 😂✨🤍
I have an 18mo and we’ve used a floor bed with her since she was 6 months. We co slept on floor beds with her until that point so it was overall an easy adjustment for her. We adore it and she sleeps well. If she’s not ready to sleep, most of the time, she’ll ramble around her room and play contently until she falls asleep. Sometimes she falls asleep on the floor but we just scoop her up and put her back in her bed, which has only happened just recently. 99% of the time it’s a smooth transfer.
I'm not religious but you inspire me so much!! You carry yourself so gracefully and have such a beautiful outlook on life! You handle stress so well and get so much done in a day!! Absolutely amazing
You could totally make a quilt! Look up the Your First Quilt series by Melanie Ham on RUclips. A LOT of self taught quilters used her tutorial to get started.
Best way to start my Friday :) You’re incredible Milena, thank you for letting us into your life. I learn something new from you every video. Big love for you and your awesome family
prayers you have a beautiful weekend 🤍
Oh my gosh seriously I love these kind of videos that you make with your kids it just shows how awesome of a mom you are I am a mom and it makes me feel good that another mom is enjoying those crazy moments
My daughter has a floor bed ever since she turned 18 months. It was the best decision because we don’t have to worry about her falling off the bed. She has toys and books for her to play with when she doesn’t want to sleep. She puts her toys and books back where they belong when she gets sleepy and goes to bed to sleep all by herself. She has so much room for herself it’s great!
Oh my, I needed the message of giving things over to the Lord. Been so emotional today about something going on in my family and you’re so right, I need to give it to God - again. Hugs, thank you so much.
I have loved doing a floor bed with my daughter! It’s just a queen bed on the floor. Then if we have guests I just move her into my room in a pack and play.
It just means having the whole room be safe and understanding she’ll crawl around sometimes. It’s been really special to be able to nurse her and cuddle as a family in the floor bed ❤
Thank you for that encouragement to hand the things that are bothering us or that we want to see change, to the Lord. Amen. You always encourage me spiritually.❤
Hi Milena, I have never used a crib for my 2 daughters. I have always used a floor bed since birth🥲🙃. I have never had the issue with my girls leaving their bed when they transitioned from crib to bed because they were always used to having beds and staying in them😂so definitely an amazing idea. We moved the bed up against the wall and had bed rails on the opposite side and foot end as well and that worked 👌🏼
I admire how you’ve been leaning into the Lord more, and seeing the fruits of that, seeing spiritual and personal growth. Your videos have just been so much more fulfilling and oddly enough recharging. I know you’re a busy mama and wife, but I need prayer. Pray for me please. Going through hardships within my marriage and it’s affecting my family.
praying for you in this moment 🤍
Thank you so much
Prayed for you as well
@@sarahp3144 thank you so much
We’re looking to transition to a floor bed in the next couple of weeks. I have done a bit of research and a few people have said that just a mattress on the floor is fine as long as you pick it up to air it every few days. Not very aesthetic but it looks safer than some other options 😊.
I love you. You inspire me to be a better mom. You help me learn how to teach my kids about God. I am grateful for you.
Floor beds are amazing!! Especially if you make your own for the size you want. Our twins have a floor bed and now little missy will have one once we move. Plus using the tent will be a blast. So many ways you can use a floor bed!!
With our first baby, we put her in a floor bed in her own room at 2 months old. Game changer for sleep and independence! We followed the “Hapa Family” on RUclips for the floor bed set up. They have a few videos on how they set up their room and we did the exact same thing. We LOVED it and our baby LOVED it!
My son uses a floor bed and it’s been a really positive experience! We didn’t transition him into using the floor bed until he was a year old so I can’t speak from experience of having a younger baby but I’ve heard of people using them as young as 6 months. For us it’s been great!! My son takes his naps and then goes and independently plays as soon as he wakes up and doesn’t need us to come get him. He loves it!
My daughter has a floor bed and we love it! She actually never slept in a crib. The floor bed we have is from etsy it is a natural wood and is a rail around the actual bed so they can't roll out when sleeping, but all on floor. It is pretty and such a nice first sleeping area.
Every time I watch your videos I lowkey want to just sob. I feel so overwhelmed bc there are 3 kids in my house and my daughter is 2. I lack so much wisdom and patience with them and I struggle with anger and self control with them. Seeing you be so gentle and kind and willing to help your kids where they are at is something I’ve arrived to be since I gave birth and it’s only gotten more difficult with time. I want to be more like you in a sense where not everything stresses you out or makes you so negative. 😢
I feel you... I pray so much for patience! Keep praying and remember 1 day you will miss them being so young ❤️
This really hit home for me. My husband lost his job two weeks ago. At first we were so upset because it was right before the holidays. Now we see it as in god had a plan. He wanted us to be home all together and just enjoy time together. It was something he was never able to do. I know he has better plans for us along the way. If we struggle it will just be a little test along the way!
Gosh milena i just had to say it … YOU ARE BEAUTIFUL ❤ it is crazy how you just keep getting prettier and prettier!!! Sending love to you and your family
First time mama whose done a lot of research on the floor bed, we are doing the floor bed right away at 3-4 months (whenever they grow out of the bassinet) I think it’s a great option, we found one off Facebook marketplace that was a twin, we just have to buy the mattress now which will be a latex mattress that is firm (latex is anti mold so great for floor beds) we are hoping our child will have this twin bed until they are 6-8 years old. Great investment and overall minimal, prevents you from buying extra things
Yes I had an "I'm just surviving" day today and it felt freeing to let myself have that for my kid. I just used a crib mattress for my son's floor bed when he was around 13 months and he loves it. He immediately acclimated to it and I used rolled up blankets under the fitted sheet as temporary bumpers until he got used to where the edges are. I also have a day bed with a trundle in my other son's bed room for when they are older and temporarily for guests. I'm expecting my second son any day now and I'm finding getting them ready for something early on in their life helps them adjust easier, but every kid is different!
I used a floor bed with my son (now 3.5) and we loved it!! He slept in a bassinet until he was 3-4 months old beside my bed and I transitioned him to his floor bed in his nursery and was such an easy transition. We just used a nice crib mattress set on the floor in the corner. Just have to be mindful and intentional to make sure the room is baby proofed well. Good luck to you!
My 3 year old has started to become disinterested in naps but we decided to move his nap later & it's really working. Before he would nap from 11:30-1:30. Now he naps from 1:30-3:30.
Have you considered installing a Murphy bed in the nursery so that you have a bed for guests but it can be up on the wall when you don’t have guests? That’s what we are doing for my nursery/ guest room for my 3month Evangelina ❤ It allows plenty of space to be used as a nursery but has the option of being a guest room… win win
sweet && beautiful milena , wow ! what an absolutely precious precious vlog ! i am so in love with all the pure moments that were captured in your beautiful day . the holy joy that radiates from your ♥︎ that is only found from a deep intimate walk with the Lord is so so breathtaking && such a sweet encouragement to me ! i also loved how you were talking about how God has just grown you in prayer through this season && how opening His word is just as important but being a prayerful woman is so so powerful . He has shown me the same thing && it is always so so sweet that we get to approach the throne room of grace with such a humble ♥︎ for Him ! you are such a vital vessel of Him && His faithfulness . continue to always && forever lean into His holy joy ! 🕊️🤎
I did a floor bed with my baby! We did it at about a year when she started jumping out of her crib. 10/10 recommend! It feels way safer and she’s able to play in her room and lay down when she’s ready
We love our floor bed! My daughter is about to turn four and ready to graduate from it but she transitioned into the floor bed at almost two and she loved it! It's been a dream for fostering her independence.
I feel like everything you said towards the end of the video, was meant for me to hear. We must involve God in everything we do & pray about it before anything. Thank you Milena for that reminder 🤍
Absolutely love your stuff- BTW you inspired my daughters name! I’m due in February and we are naming her Evangeline Grace 🥰🥰 I love hearing you say Avangelines name so anyways so excited xoxox
how sweet I LOVE that name 🥹 congratulations mama, so excited for you!!
I’m literally trying to convince my husband that if this baby is a girl we should name her Avangeline lol. So far he’s not having it but I’m not giving up 😂
I have an Evangeline then my second is Cecilia Grace haha so similar ❤️
We do floor bed for our toddler currently. And our NB is still in bassinet. But it’s been a total game changer. I didn’t even bother buying the whole floor bed “frame” just a cute mattress cover. Or just a Newton pink mattress will do!
If you do a floor bed you will need to make sure the room is childproofed and safe for her to be in unattended. So you wouldn’t be able to do a day bed or a rocker or things like that. I put my son in a floor bed at 7 months and we love it and so does he.
Milena, your faith is soooo inspiring. I needed this video. I would love to hear how you hear from the Lord. I’ve been a Christian for most of my life, but really struggle hearing Him. Also, wow, I hope I get to the point of enjoying serving food and hosting; sadly I’m not there yet.
We switched our oldest to a floor bed when he was fourteen months old. It took about two weeks for him to adjust as he'd previously been in a crib. He loved it and still does to this day as he is now over two years old. We got ours from the company, Sprout. It's nice because it works as a floor bed right now, but with time we can switch it to a normal bed up off the ground. It was an investment for us but we'll worth it. We love it. Highly recommend.
I have 4 children. With my first I got a crib and never even used it so with all my other ones we bought twin beds and bought a bed rail so they can't fall out. We co sleep until their 2-3 so around 2 we start getting them used to their twin bed. We actually bought twin beds that go into bunk beds when they get a bit older. It's worked really well.
Girl ever since I had my baby … a year ago LOL I haven’t had not 1 good nights sleep. He’s still breastfeeding and cosleeps with us and I just don’t sleep longer than 5/6 hours at a time. God used this video today to let me know I’m not alone in this chapter 🙏🏾 It’s been so hard for me to even get motivated to do the simplest tasks BUT every time I watch your video I swear the LOVE of the Lord just shines through the screen and into my soul and it really does just motivate me to get up and do a few things. To the point where it’s hard to actually finish a video LOL usually I’m motivated like 5 mins in so thank you, thank you, thank YOU ❤❤❤
Meeee toooo girl you’re not alone
You're not alone! My 2yro is still bf and cosleeps.
We loved floor beds for my niece and nephew! Only down side was that when older family members watched them, bedtime was difficult for them to get down on the floor with them for snuggles, etc
Just curious- why do you use toe separators in bed?
Love how real you are milena! My fave RUclipsr ever!🤍
Idk how you do it taking all your kiddos to run errands 😳 but proud of you for not doing it this time b/c it would definitely be a lot to take them just to get paint samples.
Can’t wait to see how the room turns out!!! 💗
We will be having our 2nd baby towards the end of March & we’re not doing a nursery quite yet. Been praying and hoping we’ll find a house 🙏🏽🥹
Floor beds work really well!! We did that with our daughter when she was 16 or so months old.. and are planning the same with our 3m old when she’s older.. we would do it was sooner but they have to share a room and that’s daunting.. but it works great! We also never got a crib to work. Super interested to see what you come up with trying to quilt!! My husbands grandma gave us some and I’ve been wanting to try it myself! But no experience either lol
11:00 I tried to read the Bible scripture in the beginning, but it goes too fast. Is there a way you could slow it down?
Thank you for being you Milena. You always inspire me to grow as a mother and person 💛
Merry Christmas to you and your beautiful family Milena! Praying for sweet rest, peace in your home, and endless joy this holiday! 🤍
Merry Christmas to you and yours 🤍
We did a Montessori bed from 4 months on, would definitely do it again. It teaches them proprioception at a younger age and where the edges are.
I will say that they do roll off sometimes at the very beginning and having a bumper on the wall side and outside edge is helpful at first though, just gets them to learn where the edges are without hitting the wall, cause that’s not fun.
Lately I’ve been seeing you grow so much 😍love you 🤍greetings from Germany
I have a floor bed for my three year old. It’s all he has ever had and we love it!
I needed this today… thank you milena 💖🙏
Yay Ava's got her own room, so happy for her!!!
Hey Milena! I hope you don’t mind me asking but why do we not get to see your kids in videos and on instagram anymore? Love your videos by the way! I have watched all of your mom content since becoming a new mom, very helpful! 🤍
I was wondering the same thing. I get it with privacy but also bummed because they are so cute and I love seeing how they talk and interact with each other. I have a daughter who will be 3 in February and a son who is 16 months old (17 months apart in age) and I just had my 3rd baby who is 2.5 months old (14 months apart from my middle son) which is a very similar age gap to to her older 2 kids. I absolutely loved watching her older videos of the kids because they really do remind me of the temperament and personality of my kids which is sweet to see. I am struggling with balancing having 3 now and I’d love to see more content on Day in a life with all 3 and how they interact and how you manage it. I feel like you are able to get sooo much done and handle if with such grace and I feel like I’m drowning lol.
love you Milena!! you are such an incredible gift from God and such an amazing Mum 🤍
Wait, Milena wants to paint the walls pink???
We cut the legs off of our ikea crib and put the toddler rail on to make our son a floor bed and he LOVES it. We started at 10 months without a lot of info but I just knew in my gut he was ready and he has thrived. After naps we turn on his light using our Google lightbulbs and he sits in his room and plays and it’s just supported his independence in the best way.
I've been doing a floor bed for my son since he was 6 months ( 18 months now) and he sleeps great
keep going mama, this was so nice to watch. I love watching you be a mama
Transitioned my daughter around 7 months to a floor bed and I can’t recommend it enough! I can nurse her to sleep and roll out and she loves it. 🥰
I saw that it said if you need prayer to put it in the comments. So I figured it’s worth asking, my husband and I have been getting attacked in our finances ever since we got married in July of 2021. We’ve done the side hustles but things just haven’t been working out. I then gave birth to our daughter in June and was out of work for a while. I started looking back again for jobs in August and haven’t found anything. My husband is in between jobs as well and currently we’re both not working. We don’t have any money to pay for any household items we need, personal hygiene items, or baby items. So we really need help. Our cars got repossessed as well and the way we get around now is using his moms car since she moved in with us to help us with rent. I know people are going through hard times and I know God loves us we just are trying to endure this.
My son's room is also my office. I need multiple screens for work. I recently got DropTop desk. It's great as I can close it at the end of the day. The screens and any unhealthy light they may generate is not in his face.
Love your videoes!😍🥰
A thought om the desk in the bedroom. Its an option, but like you said, you will kind of get tired of your bedroom and then maybe get a harder time sleeping at night! At least thats my experiance😅☺️
I’ve used a floor bed for all 3 of my kids! It’s been great. We got teepees from “Domestic Objects” on Etsy, and they used those after they were 1. My youngest has been in a floor bed since she was born and we love it.
Haha Family on RUclips has a few floor bed videos that I’ve found helpful.
Hapa Family on RUclips has videos all about Montessori including the Floor Bed! ❤
Wow I’ve never been this early and I am SO HAPPY about it! Milena video to kick of my Friday woot woot!🥰❤️
happy Friday 🥳
Hey Shayla and Hapa Family have videos about floor beds! Can’t wait to see how the nursery turns out!
Hi, Milena! There is an amazing book about the practical life of montessori's methodology "montessori from the start" and an amazing mama here on RUclips, The Hapa Family! Love you and your growing family!!! God bless you all!
I feel like you do such a great job of simplifying your life with kids. Can you do a video on that??
I love you and your family. Your a light in this dark world❤
Okay girl, so this is FAR FROM aestethically pleasing but my youngest son (2 years, 4 months) Hunter is sleeping on his cot mattress on his bedroom floor. I made a video back when I was vlogging on this channel when he first climbes out of his cot at 13 months old, took it all out and he's been sleeping on the floor since. He currently has blankets, a cushion and a few teddies when he sleeps but there's nothing else in his room AT ALL. It's small and all his toys are downstairs/in his toy wardrobe (and we are just now thinking of buying him a bed lol!), but it's worked really well with his sleep and his tiny room is where he sleeps, and he knows that. haha x
Love you guys seeing your videos always bring such light and love
Before you even said anything I was thinking of putting your desk/work area in your bedroom - it’s a challenge with the limited space! You’ll figure it out as time goes on! 😊
We went straight from next to me to a twin size floor bed and our little one sleeps so much better. Two wakes each night and doesn't rise until 7 am but can get out and play rather than cry because she is trapped in a crib!
Man, the babies are just growing so fast. It makes me get sad already for my kids, and I don’t even have them yet. 😂❤
I do a floor bed with 2 year old and 8month old. Makes transitioning so easy and easy to lay down and settle them back to sleep :)
What do you use nail polish wise? Do you wear regular gel or use something more natural?
Definitely go for the Montessori floor bed! My now 2 1/2 year old has slept on a queen mattress on the floor since a little bit before she turned one. She’s always been a crazy sleeper so she does use the entire bed 😂 but It’ll pay off bc you wont need a new bed for her for a long time 👍🏼😌
We used a floor bed with my 2 1/2 year old from the time he was about 7 months. We just did the ikea Kura bed flipped upside down so that there were a little bit of sides and he couldn’t roll out. I think If you search for kura floor bed hacks a lot will come up.
the way Ava is staring at you throughout this video 🥰🥰
I loved all the baby giggles in this 🥹
Can u tell me what’s that little baggie you have hanging on your purse? I bought a new bag and would love to buy a little baggie like that to hang.
Can you please do a video on potty training, any tips, and what methods you found effective?
I don’t think they’re potty trained yet. If the are I haven’t seen her post on it, would also like tips since she’s the hack queen
😊love you girly♥️ my daughters have all shared the flu A&B and two of four and myself have asthma so now we developed bronchitis 😢😢it’s horrible. 😮Prayer helps so much.
sending prayers for healing!!
@@MilenaCiciotti thank you mami🙌🏽🙏🏽♥️
When the baby gets older, will you put her in a room with her sister and give the brother his own room. I’m just curious on your thoughts of boys and girls sharing rooms. I have a boy and girl but idk how much longer they can share! My son is picking up everything sister does and I’m finding myself tell him “it’s for girls” more often. He’s three. Just wanted to hear your thoughts 💭 😊
Can’t wait to see the nursery transformation!!!
I personally would switch the toddlers to floor beds and put Avangeline in a crib! And a Murphy bed in her room for guests maybe???
In our sons room we have a double bed and a cot, been using them both since birth, if he had a bad night or was sick and I wanted to co sleep then the bed was set up in there already, if guest needed to stay the bed is already set up 😊, when we are ready to transition he will then have that double bed and we will remove the cot
We are to pour out from our filled cups, so that is what you're feeling. Now you'll be refilled through all His goodness and on and on! You can do all things through Christ who strengthens you, sister!!
Milena look up the Happa Family for Montessori baby room ideas 💡
Can you please tell me how you prepare meals for other adults with kids around lol how can we be bless overwhelmed in that?! Also what are the go to meals? That's half the battle sometimes!
Love floor beds! Our first two kids slept in floor beds from age 5ish months until around 24 months before moving into toddler beds! They loved!
We will be using a floor bed for our 3rd baby too once she’s around that age! We do naps first then slowly transition them there at night!!
God gives you and Jordan the strength you need for every situation 🙏🏾 also, isn't Zac your editor anymore? You said that you woke up at 6am to edit a video. That's a lot!! 😅
FELT when you said Ava will be 5m and couldn’t believe it I do the same with my son!
we want them to grow up, just not so fast 🥺
right 🥺 like I JUST had you??
Where is that green teether from?? Need this
It’s always the nights when I go to bed late that the babies decide to wake up all night 😅
