As someone who's been trying to figure out their 'aesthetic', color palette, et cetera, for the longest time now, I've got to say watching your channel and seeing the way you utilise neutrals and beige throughout your home has really made me fall in love with softer and neutral interiors and color palettes :) It's not for everyone, but I find your whole aesthetic so warm and pretty! Not boring at all lol
For me, it was also really helpful to realize that my color preference and aesthetic can be a little different between what I'd wear and what I'd use on my home! You can have more than one set of preferences for different things.
It's such a tough spot... All the youtube mama's that I love, share values with, relate to are all pulling back their "family life" and I would probably be doing the same thing... But it's SUCH an encouragement to watch those nitty gritty videos and feel the solidarity.
"Don't you find all beige boring" Ah, yes, random stranger, you're right, I do find beige boring, which is why I surround myself with that colour in my home and clothing style. Seriously doubt that people really question this. They just want to get their own opinion in about how you're somehow boring or wrong, and it's rude imo. I love maximalist, eclectic styles with lots of bold colours in my own home and also with the clothes I choose to wear, and I think your neutral style is so beautiful, calming, serene, I seriously love it. And even if I didn't, well, I can do it differently in my own life so why even care? Why comment on someone's else's likes and dislikes in a rude way? If you don't like all neutrals, great, don't do it in your own spaces then. I don't do it in my spaces and I think yours fits you so well and it makes me happy to see when you share great thrift finds that you're excited about, or your reno updates. Sorry, this turned into a bit of a rant, but I really don't like this tendency online that we feel entitled to insert our opinion on everything creators share online even their own personal tastes.
Delilah, I have so admired your wisdom and pure faith, whenever I think of the Proverbs 31 woman, you come to mind ✨️ Your channel has been such a huge blessing in my life, especially being a young mom myself to 4 and 2 year old girls. It always feels like sitting and chatting with a friend 😭
I really appreciate you prioritizing your kids in this way. You're an awesome RUclips personality and honestly the only vlogs I watch. You being so real and being so forward with your faith and values is really relatable. Keep up the good work as long as you want! We'll support you either way.
There is more than one type of counseling. We often think of it as "rescue" therapy, when we're really really struggling and have no other option. But there's also preventative, where you are currently functioning well but you know that some things could easily trigger you into a hard space. This helps you work on things while you're still functioning ok, to prevent you from getting triggered as hard into a really hard time. I'm still learning this.
My first 4 children were all completely natural vaginal births. My 5th child was a traumatic emergency c-section and honestly....the emotional trauma was way worse than the physical trauma. I'm ready to get pregnant again with baby #6 and hopefully I get to see my birthing experience redeemed!! And my scar is numb in a weird way, I can feel below the scar but not above lol
You are living my dream - the life you live is what I hope and pray to have in a few years. Messy, real life and all. Thank you for sharing what you do with us, and thank you for keeping it real. Much love❤️
i personally completely align with you "aesthetic" and the way you style yourself amd your home. I find bright colors too chaotic and prefer more muted tones. this prefference really differentiated me from my family and i felt really isolated. when i came across your channel it really lit a spark in my heart because i stopped feeling so alone. it has been really good to know that is okay to like different things and being different from my family is not a bad thing.
same! I strive to have a very neutral home, my partner wants his office very dark, so I can't wait for when we can get a big appartment, were he can have a dark office, I will have a cute and brighr art/office room, and the rest of the appartment is gonna be very neutral hahah my room is gonna be bright because it really inspires me to paint and I love painting colorful art, but the rest of the apartment would be too much
I love your aesthetic. The world is so busy, having neutral colours around you helps keep things calm. I love colour but I love to see it more in its natural environment. You keep being you ✌🏼🕊
I'm exactly the same when it comes to colors! I've always been drawn to calming neutral colors. When you love neutral color palettes, decorating your home is so much easier. I know whatever I buy will never clash with what I already have. I find it absolutely perfect for our home.
I really like the way Natalie Bennet handles her RUclips channel. She puts a video out once a week and she asks her kids if they want to be filmed or not. She respects them and she doesn’t show them too often. I love that style and I think she handles it gracefully!
I love how you educate and use religion as a way for comfort. I was raised catholic and my parents use religion as a way to scare and punish me instead of a way for comfort and loving.
People call you boring? And grandma? Firstly, that’s just mean. But how boring would this world be if we were all the same and were all interested in the same things. We should celebrate people that know who they are and know what they like. New to your channel, thanks for being you! I will keep watching.
You officially touched on all my Autism traits in this video and the EXACT thought process I have when answering the same questions. Why do I like neutral colors? Because my eyes can't handle bright colors. Why do I not wear makeup? Because my sensory issues cannot stand the feeling of having anything on my skin! Love you hear other people think the same way!
I got some folding of the laundry done too while watching your video! I really enjoy your content & as a fellow Christian mom I relate to your ways of raising children to follow Christ. Thank you for being so bold in sharing your faith!
Those type of your videos are my favourite. Truly, don't care that much about vlogs, but this kind of chat makes my introverted heart grow as this feels as a deep connection.
I love warm and cool neutrals.. beige, burnt umber, sage green, blush pink.. they’re soothing, calming, relaxing.. bright bold colors can be chaotic, clashing, overstimulating. I love neutrals. I love your aesthetic. It’s seriously inspired my home decor & fashion!
Hi Delilah! I'm so sorry to hear that you're going to let down RUclips during the time.. this is my favourite channel so far in all the community of RUclips. PD: I love your personality and the work you do here is beautiful, you have to be so proud of yourself. Lots of love from Spain ❤️✨
18 months between BIRTHS is usually the recommendation I've heard. Attempting a VBAC with my 2nd and kiddos will be exactly 2 years apart at time of birth. ❤❤
I'm wishing you well mama, and praying you get this experience. I just had a vbac with my second last October and it really helped redeem my first birth experience.
I'm hoping for a VBAC too! My daughter is currently 14 months and hope to fall pregnant this year (if its in the Lords will for us) 🥺 Truly do pray it works out okay!
Actually three years is ideal between any kind of birth. Not saying it’s bad otherwise but three is optimal for the replenishing of the mothers minerals etc and for the appropriate time given to the development of the baby/toddler
You’ve taught me so much and given me an attitude/lifestyle to emulate. Even when you leave RUclips, I will go back and watch your old videos repeatedly! 💛
My first baby was a csection and I have had two successful vaginal births since. I got pregnant with my 2nd and 3rd at 13 months postpartum. I am a nursing student now and when I saw the recommendation for a successful vbac was to wait 18 months to conceive I was shocked 😅 seeing as my kids were both born 22 months after their previous sibling. I also completely agree with you. I do not know if I will ever feel "done" having children. I don't think I love anything more than giving birth and experiencing those first days of a newborn, the indescribable feeling of being your babies life line and whole world ultimately.
making time to spend with the Lord is so important, thank you for speaking on that subject. i used to be afraid to set aside time to read the bible and pray, because i was afraid of just- doing it grudgingly out of habit? but the Lord is so wonderful: in His design, the simple act of obedience, diligently making time for him even if we don’t *feel* like it... brings us even closer to Him. love you delilah + fam!!
"and Nehemiah prayed", that was the main take away I got from my study of that book too. He faced so many obstacles and opposition, but at every turn he prayed. And God shows up. It's an amazing faith building book.
There are not many youtubers I can just sit down and listen to without action going on but with you its easy and awesome! Great questions and great answers!
It's takes years to get feeling back after nerve damage so don't lose hope yet! I've had success gaining feeling around scars by soaking in hot springs that have a lot of minerals.
Well said Delilah about colour choices, I had a difficult labour with my 4th baby, i had 3 natural deliveries with just gas and air but with my 4th son i was induced a week early and everything was progressing and they thought i was about to deliver when my baby’s heart rate dropped and i had to be rushed into an emergency c-section and when my son was delivered i was haemorrhaging and lost 3litres of blood i had torn my womb, i nearly had to have a hysterectomy but luckily they managed to stop the bleeding a stitch me up but it took at least 6months recovering i was poorly but my son is perfect and so glad we are living where we could of both died. Lots of love to you and your gorgeous children. 💕
I somehow found you on RUclips. I am struggling alot with motherhood and enjoying the little things, as well as my relationship with the Lord. Watching you or even having your channel on in the background during the day brings me more peace than you could ever know. Thank you so much. You have brought my relationship with the Lord closer. I pray to him for patience and when I watch your videos I get that and am able to be present with my three babies.
Hi Delilah 👋 i became a mum for the first time in September last year, and I found your videos towards the end of my pregnancy. I have really connected with your videos and they've kept me company when I'm up in the night eating lots of toast after a night feed! Thank you for your content!
Hi Delilla, it is so thrilled when I watched this video of yours. Actually I have followed you since 3 years ago, the moment of my first pregnancy. But just recently I started to watch more of your videos. I think I have watched definitely over half part of your channel. 😂Sometimes, just like this one, it hit me. And I felt so similar as you do, so emotional as well. So grateful there are person like you so sharing and hardworking. It encourages so much on me. I am a mom of two and I am looking after them and homeschooling and doing home makeover. But of course I have so much to catch on compared with you and other great RUclipsr moms. Just want to tell it is so encouraging and comforting thing to view your channel in my life. 😊
Delilah, I just wanted to say that your channel has been such a blessing to me. We have such similar personalities it’s crazy and I’ve found that I can relate to what you explain. It has kept me encouraged through so many stages in my life and I’ve learned a lot about being a wife and mother from you. I love to see you teach your children about Jesus. I struggled for a long time with food as well and had terrible image issues. My husband helped me finally break that as well and I started caring about my health. We are 5 months married and expecting our first little one🥰 I hope you never completely stop RUclips and I hope you actually see this and know how you’ve touched my life. Much love:)
I absolutely love your style and for the people that have not nice things to say to you I would not even read those comments you are an amazing mom person and woman and you have a beautiful home
Delilah, every week your videos are something I look forward to soo so much. I love how authentic and real they are and always imagine how it would be if I had children and a family now like you do instead of sitting at university studying. I admire you and love your work very much. Thank you thank you thank you. Greetings from Berlin! Clara :))
I feel like you should look into the board game Wingspan! Not only is it so aesthetically pleasing to look at when you play, but it’s one of those board games where you have to think a lot and put together strategies to win. I think you’d love it!
As im being busy making babyroom ready, i just love to hear this kind of video's of you. Makes me so chill and i love binging youre video's eversince im pregnant of nr 3. I reconice so much! Much love from Holland🎉
Traveling with kids is just awesome!!! Even when they are really little because even though they won't remember, you will! And it will be a part of them, of their personality and experiences! We traveled as a family for the first time when our oldest was 6 months old and we never stop doing it, now with 4 kids 8 and under and expecting #5! It's truly a blessing! Try it and you'll love it ;)
I had very traumatic first delivery. 10 minutes before my daughter was born, i looked through the window of the hospital, it was snowing, and i felt peace. I thought, that's it, I'm going to die, but it's okay. I'm okay. With my boy, again, all natural, it was horrible, but quicker, just three hour of labor. Now, I'm expecting my third, and I'm so scared 😭 sorry for the long post. All the best ♥️
I appreciate your taking the time to answer these questions. I can relate on not being ready to close the chapter on the pregnancy and new baby areas of life. I have been going back and forth and found some comfort in hearing you express your thoughts on that subject. So, thank you!
Wanted to reach out as a doula and a water birth mama myself! First of all, it is an amazing experience and I forever cherish it. Secondly, VBAC water births are totally possible! Find yourself a good doula and midwife who will support that dream! At least in the states in most places, water births can't happen at a hospital so birth center or home will be your options! I know many VBAC water birth mamas! You can totally do it!
You and I are quite the same in school. No friends and I was bullied badly at school and at home which is why I'm 58 and still single. It's hard, lonely, but now I've grown to study and serve the Lord. He has gotten me through so much.
Oh my God I’m just picturing a little William as an 18-month-old baby when you said that you had to wait that long before getting pregnant again. 18 months it’s just such a fun age and I can’t wait to see him then. Also I can’t believe people actually make fun of you for how you enjoy neutral colours and the way you style your home I think your home looks absolutely lovely, I think the people who say that are just probably jealous that there not able to put their inspiration to life in the same way. Whenever I was watching your videos I always just assumed wow this girl really likes the colour brown that’s awesome
My C-section scar is still numb after 4 years and I’ve just gotten used to that feeling of it being that way. I’m getting induced on Sunday with my 2nd baby and am hoping for a VBAC! I’m hoping and praying that I can achieve a vaginal birth, and keep watching your videos of Eloise and Theo being born to help me prepare for something like that ☺️
Never noticed you didn’t wear makeup, u have beautiful skin. I’m someone who doesn’t wear any makeup at all I just focus more on my skincare which makes me feel great!
I am the same. I just cannot stand makeup, I hate how it feels on my face. I have a pretty tricky skin, having PCOS with high levels of male hormones and had to learn alot when it came to skincare, diet&lifestyle to even make it look ok. I'd rather spend my money&time on skincare and be able to just feel great and confident without makeup.
I have three kids as well (5yo, 3yo and a 4mo) so I understand how difficult it is to do things 😵💫 BUT I looooove your RUclips videos and find them so calming and they honestly help me regulate myself so I really hope you keep doing them. Also your style has been so inspiring to me! Love the “boring beige”!
I agree! I also have 3 (6yo, 3yo, 1mo) and feel I need the “boring beige” to help feel less chaotic. I love it and feel soothed by my home aesthetic, which offsets the crazy 😜
Was so excited about the sneak peak at the beginning of this video to see that you painted the bulkhead in the kitchen, looks good! If like Catan and Ticket to ride you should try Carcassone, there is also a kids version as well.
I just thought I would mention that this is the first video of yours that has been recommended to me in MONTHS. Really missed seeing your uploads and will make an effort to check in on my own just in case the algorithm decides to act up again!
I love that you love neutrals I didn’t know what I wanted in a style of home or cloth and you make me feel like I know. The way you do color and every part of your life is perfect
We’ve done a few weeks in Europe with kids. Italy, France then Switzerland. It was amazing! I had an almost 4 year old and a 22 month old. The pace is a little slower and we had more down days. We also flew from Australia so the flights are soooo long. I’d do it again in a heartbeat.
Also I had an emergency c-section with my son, and then 8 months later I found out I was pregnant with his sister and had another c-section. So they are 15 months apart! But my healing and everything went great and no issues during the pregnancy with his sister :-)
I think your aesthetic is so soothing I wish I could have my house in ur color scheme but I can’t pick my decor style lol. I’m so happy you’re feeling better!! Love your videos! You inspire me so much to be a better mom, wife, and just generally better in life 💗
Hello Delilah! I have been here for years and love your vlogs and content. The last question about babies and financial security, I would like to mention that where I live it's the same no need to worry about money when it comes to health. And that makes the journey to become a parent so much easier! Cannot imagine the other way around. Kiss from Portugal! :)
I've watched your channel for a while now and I always love seeing what your latest projects are and watching your children develop and grow. I am an early childhood teacher, however I do not have children myself, so I have learnt a lot from you. You are always very honest, especially when you say that having children is not always easy and you have challenging moments which are not shown on the videos. I have always felt that you would be an excellent early childhood educator/teacher. The way you allow your children to play and just be themselves is a benefit to you and your children, especially the risky or natural play you allow your children to engage in, such as exploring the kitchen by themselves, investigating all the drawers and cabinets. As I am in Australia I also love seeing the Canadian winters and how you live through them. Keep being positive, you are doing great.
Hi Delilah! I had a c-section around 1 year ago and started touching and massaging the scar, a week or 2 after the operation. My feeling in all the area is back to normal and any adhesion is minimal. If you haven't tried it yet, please do! You can even find a massage therapist or fysio who can help you out in the beginning 😊 I don't know why there isn't more talk around the recovery from c-sec, it would help so many! I hope you get this message and I hope you will get to feel yourself "entirely" soon! :*
Watching Delilah fold laundry while I’m doing laundry, makes me feel like I have a friend by my side. I have 2 kids so far and I thought I was done but now I’m just feeling very nostalgic to think no more kids for me 🤷🏻♀️
If you have not and this is something that you would not feel weird about doing you could try c-section scare message to get that feeling back. You could do it by yourself or you could have your husband do it for you. It felt super weird to touch my incision and that whole area postpartum. After my second c-section I found out about scar message to help the area gain flexibility and normal sensation. Doing it just a little bit has helped so much.
I had a C-section for my first because she was breech, and then my son was born 5 years later in a water birth! So it is possible :) and it was an amazing experience :) Also, I love colours but I also really like your style and home, it’s very calming and lovely.
Hey Delilah!! Obviously this is a decision to make with your OB but I just wanted to tell you that I had a C-Section with my first and got pregnant with my second at 7 months pp. So, they were 16 months apart and I successfully had a VBAC. While I know not everyone is like this, I just thought it would be helpful to share ❤️
As a c-section mama I have been told by my pelvic therapist that numbness is a indication of scar tissue. Scar massage will help with that innerbscar healing process. ❤
Also currently getting ready for my vbac any day now. Hbac actually. There are really a lot of options for vbac mamas. The vbaclink has a ton of evidence based research and help for vbac mamas. It goes without saying that when you are ready. Ab rehab by Nancy Anderson is a really great healing program. 🤗❤
tbh ilove your colors , it soothes my eyes gives coolness and peaceful environment ! and yes you can have a natural birth after c-section just follow up with your doctor
While health care is a component, mine is pretty comprehensive and I spent the same amount the two years before I had kids as the year my baby was born (one broken hand, one semi-complicated miscarriage) so the health care piece of it wasn’t considerable for me. Financially ready had a lot to do with being able to afford a living situation that was “large enough” and in a good safe area for my children. Those things are probably considerations universally, although with different limitations - for example you’ve done well with small homes, and the where you live has always been bounded by your family unit so you didn’t have to consider vastly different places to live.
I think renovation videos are not too personal and we'd love to see all of them come to life! Even if you decide to leave, a video once a month or two in the upcoming years, even if we don't get the entire process but a thorough before and after would be appreciated. I love the vlogs, and the Q&As and we all love your dear kids, I rewatched Eloise's shopping haul many times, also Zach doing his woodworks is fun :) So perhaps if you want more privacy (which yeah, we loved that you got more into the real life and a bit less staged) we all understand that and it's our loss :D but we'd love even more "distant" or "staged" content from you, so if you're worried about vlogs maybe just do prepared videos. Tour of the kid room, other practical things for upcoming parents. Love you and your family, you're such an inspiration! Wish you all the best no matter what you choose. PS: I'd love honey Bee merch back, finally have a baby to match with xD
i used to wear a lot of makeup but like you, i just do my eyebrows & mascara for work. it's a lot nicer that way & sometimes if i'm fancy, i would use some eyeliner.
I’m not a parent but you talk about so many things that school should teach, this channel is a great education and aesthetic experience!
As someone who's been trying to figure out their 'aesthetic', color palette, et cetera, for the longest time now, I've got to say watching your channel and seeing the way you utilise neutrals and beige throughout your home has really made me fall in love with softer and neutral interiors and color palettes :) It's not for everyone, but I find your whole aesthetic so warm and pretty!

I know how you feel and I know how they feel! Don’t mean to spam Delilah but I occasionally make some videos that shows very basic mom life. 💛
I totally get it 💜
I LOVE neutral colors. I absolutely love your style....LOVE IT!!!
"Don't you find all beige boring" Ah, yes, random stranger, you're right, I do find beige boring, which is why I surround myself with that colour in my home and clothing style.

I totally, I felt like that question was basically saying "hey, I think your favourite colour is wrong." 🙄🤦🏻♀️
Delilah, I have so admired your wisdom and pure faith, whenever I think of the Proverbs 31 woman, you come to mind ✨️
Your channel has been such a huge blessing in my life, especially being a young mom myself to 4 and 2 year old girls. It always feels like sitting and chatting with a friend 😭
You're colour palette is beautiful and calming! Don't let anyone even try to get you down girl!
I 100% agree about memorizing scripture starting at a young age. Almost 15yrs later I still remember verses I learned when I was your kiddos age ❤️
I really appreciate you prioritizing your kids in this way. You're an awesome RUclips personality and honestly the only vlogs I watch. You being so real and being so forward with your faith and values is really relatable. Keep up the good work as long as you want! We'll support you either way.
Please don’t ever leave RUclips! you are literally my favorite RUclipsr !!! I love your style, in every thing! You are def an encouragement!

For the record, your style is something I have strived to accomplish for my entire life.

Its so sad that all the mama-youtubers let down filming and turn to instagram and newsletters at the moment :(

I had a successful VBAC with my 2nd and my boys are 20 months apart :) wishing you a successful VBAC as well!❤
Your style is Old English and you’ve said that before so people should respect that and frankly its lovely it suits you 100%
The way that your mug perfectly matched your outfit🤩🤩👌
You’ve taught me so much and given me an attitude/lifestyle to emulate. Even when you leave RUclips, I will go back and watch your old videos repeatedly! 💛

I don't think I love anything more than giving birth and experiencing those first days of a newborn, the indescribable feeling of being your babies life line and whole world ultimately.
making time to spend with the Lord is so important, thank you for speaking on that subject. i used to be afraid to set aside time to read the bible and pray, because i was afraid of just- doing it grudgingly out of habit? but the Lord is so wonderful: in His design, the simple act of obedience, diligently making time for him even if we don’t *feel* like it... brings us even closer to Him. love you delilah + fam!!
"and Nehemiah prayed", that was the main take away I got from my study of that book too. He faced so many obstacles and opposition, but at every turn he prayed. And God shows up. It's an amazing faith building book.
There are not many youtubers I can just sit down and listen to without action going on but with you its easy and awesome! Great questions and great answers!
It's takes years to get feeling back after nerve damage so don't lose hope yet! I've had success gaining feeling around scars by soaking in hot springs that have a lot of minerals.
Well said Delilah about colour choices, I had a difficult labour with my 4th baby, i had 3 natural deliveries with just gas and air but with my 4th son i was induced a week early and everything was progressing and they thought i was about to deliver when my baby’s heart rate dropped and i had to be rushed into an emergency c-section and when my son was delivered i was haemorrhaging and lost 3litres of blood i had torn my womb, i nearly had to have a hysterectomy but luckily they managed to stop the bleeding a stitch me up but it took at least 6months recovering i was poorly but my son is perfect and so glad we are living where we could of both died. Lots of love to you and your gorgeous children. 💕
I somehow found you on RUclips. I am struggling alot with motherhood and enjoying the little things, as well as my relationship with the Lord. Watching you or even having your channel on in the background during the day brings me more peace than you could ever know. Thank you so much. You have brought my relationship with the Lord closer. I pray to him for patience and when I watch your videos I get that and am able to be present with my three babies.
Hi Delilah 👋 i became a mum for the first time in September last year, and I found your videos towards the end of my pregnancy. I have really connected with your videos and they've kept me company when I'm up in the night eating lots of toast after a night feed! Thank you for your content!
These (and your DILT) are my fave videos. Feel like we get to be mamas together for a while. You’re doing so great. God bless you all xxx
I am so thankful this was a laundry folding talk. I totally forgot I had laundry in the dryer until this popped up!
Hi Delilla, it is so thrilled when I watched this video of yours. Actually I have followed you since 3 years ago, the moment of my first pregnancy. But just recently I started to watch more of your videos. I think I have watched definitely over half part of your channel. 😂Sometimes, just like this one, it hit me. And I felt so similar as you do, so emotional as well. So grateful there are person like you so sharing and hardworking. It encourages so much on me. I am a mom of two and I am looking after them and homeschooling and doing home makeover. But of course I have so much to catch on compared with you and other great RUclipsr moms. Just want to tell it is so encouraging and comforting thing to view your channel in my life. 😊
Delilah,
I just wanted to say that your channel has been such a blessing to me. We have such similar personalities it’s crazy and I’ve found that I can relate to what you explain. It has kept me encouraged through so many stages in my life and I’ve learned a lot about being a wife and mother from you. I love to see you teach your children about Jesus. I struggled for a long time with food as well and had terrible image issues. My husband helped me finally break that as well and I started caring about my health. We are 5 months married and expecting our first little one🥰 I hope you never completely stop RUclips and I hope you actually see this and know how you’ve touched my life. Much love:)
I absolutely love your style and for the people that have not nice things to say to you I would not even read those comments you are an amazing mom person and woman and you have a beautiful home
Delilah, every week your videos are something I look forward to soo so much. I love how authentic and real they are and always imagine how it would be if I had children and a family now like you do instead of sitting at university studying. I admire you and love your work very much. Thank you thank you thank you. Greetings from Berlin! Clara :))
I feel like you should look into the board game Wingspan! Not only is it so aesthetically pleasing to look at when you play, but it’s one of those board games where you have to think a lot and put together strategies to win. I think you’d love it!
As im being busy making babyroom ready, i just love to hear this kind of video's of you. Makes me so chill and i love binging youre video's eversince im pregnant of nr 3. I reconice so much! Much love from Holland🎉
Traveling with kids is just awesome!!! Even when they are really little because even though they won't remember, you will! And it will be a part of them, of their personality and experiences! We traveled as a family for the first time when our oldest was 6 months old and we never stop doing it, now with 4 kids 8 and under and expecting #5! It's truly a blessing! Try it and you'll love it ;)
Nerves can continue to regenerate for up to 2 years. Re-gaining feeling in your C-section scar is not impossible!
I love your style and decorating sence and your simplicity of colors ,it is very calming.
We memorized scriptures through songs when I was younger and I can say it definitely comes back when I need it 😄
I had very traumatic first delivery. 10 minutes before my daughter was born, i looked through the window of the hospital, it was snowing, and i felt peace. I thought, that's it, I'm going to die, but it's okay. I'm okay. With my boy, again, all natural, it was horrible, but quicker, just three hour of labor. Now, I'm expecting my third, and I'm so scared 😭 sorry for the long post. All the best ♥️
I love Nehemiah’s prayer! my pastor loves to have a sermon each year on that book of the Bible!!
I had a c section almost 15 months ago. I thought the feeling would never come back, but it has! It just takes that long.
I appreciate your taking the time to answer these questions. I can relate on not being ready to close the chapter on the pregnancy and new baby areas of life. I have been going back and forth and found some comfort in hearing you express your thoughts on that subject. So, thank you!
Wanted to reach out as a doula and a water birth mama myself! First of all, it is an amazing experience and I forever cherish it. Secondly, VBAC water births are totally possible! Find yourself a good doula and midwife who will support that dream! At least in the states in most places, water births can't happen at a hospital so birth center or home will be your options! I know many VBAC water birth mamas! You can totally do it!
You and I are quite the same in school. No friends and I was bullied badly at school and at home which is why I'm 58 and still single. It's hard, lonely, but now I've grown to study and serve the Lord. He has gotten me through so much.
Just started re watching some of your old videos it’s so crazy to see your style change and then babies 🥺 they grow so fast !
Oh my God I’m just picturing a little William as an 18-month-old baby when you said that you had to wait that long before getting pregnant again. 18 months it’s just such a fun age and I can’t wait to see him then. Also I can’t believe people actually make fun of you for how you enjoy neutral colours and the way you style your home I think your home looks absolutely lovely, I think the people who say that are just probably jealous that there not able to put their inspiration to life in the same way. Whenever I was watching your videos I always just assumed wow this girl really likes the colour brown that’s awesome
My C-section scar is still numb after 4 years and I’ve just gotten used to that feeling of it being that way. I’m getting induced on Sunday with my 2nd baby and am hoping for a VBAC! I’m hoping and praying that I can achieve a vaginal birth, and keep watching your videos of Eloise and Theo being born to help me prepare for something like that ☺️
Never noticed you didn’t wear makeup, u have beautiful skin. I’m someone who doesn’t wear any makeup at all I just focus more on my skincare which makes me feel great!
I am the same. I just cannot stand makeup, I hate how it feels on my face. I have a pretty tricky skin, having PCOS with high levels of male hormones and had to learn alot when it came to skincare, diet&lifestyle to even make it look ok. I'd rather spend my money&time on skincare and be able to just feel great and confident without makeup.
YES! Getting up before the rest of my family is KEY. Thanks for sharing
I wear jewel/cool tones and a lot of black but I LOVE your aesthetic and color palette. You’ve done an amazing job curating your wardrobe and home!
I have three kids as well (5yo, 3yo and a 4mo) so I understand how difficult it is to do things 😵💫 BUT I looooove your RUclips videos and find them so calming and they honestly help me regulate myself so I really hope you keep doing them.
Also your style has been so inspiring to me! Love the “boring beige”!
I agree! I also have 3 (6yo, 3yo, 1mo) and feel I need the “boring beige” to help feel less chaotic. I love it and feel soothed by my home aesthetic, which offsets the crazy 😜
Was so excited about the sneak peak at the beginning of this video to see that you painted the bulkhead in the kitchen, looks good! If like Catan and Ticket to ride you should try Carcassone, there is also a kids version as well.
The bun is on point today 🤌🏼
VBACs are becoming so much more popular and talked about. I’m sure because you’re young and if you give your body time, you could do it. 💗
2 time c-section mama here, the feeling does come back it just takes time ❤ the numbness is so annoying haha
I just thought I would mention that this is the first video of yours that has been recommended to me in MONTHS. Really missed seeing your uploads and will make an effort to check in on my own just in case the algorithm decides to act up again!
I love that you love neutrals I didn’t know what I wanted in a style of home or cloth and you make me feel like I know. The way you do color and every part of your life is perfect
We’ve done a few weeks in Europe with kids. Italy, France then Switzerland. It was amazing! I had an almost 4 year old and a 22 month old. The pace is a little slower and we had more down days. We also flew from Australia so the flights are soooo long. I’d do it again in a heartbeat.
Also I had an emergency c-section with my son, and then 8 months later I found out I was pregnant with his sister and had another c-section. So they are 15 months apart! But my healing and everything went great and no issues during the pregnancy with his sister :-)
I think your aesthetic is so soothing I wish I could have my house in ur color scheme but I can’t pick my decor style lol. I’m so happy you’re feeling better!! Love your videos! You inspire me so much to be a better mom, wife, and just generally better in life 💗
Hello Delilah! I have been here for years and love your vlogs and content. The last question about babies and financial security, I would like to mention that where I live it's the same no need to worry about money when it comes to health. And that makes the journey to become a parent so much easier! Cannot imagine the other way around. Kiss from Portugal! :)
I've watched your channel for a while now and I always love seeing what your latest projects are and watching your children develop and grow. I am an early childhood teacher, however I do not have children myself, so I have learnt a lot from you. You are always very honest, especially when you say that having children is not always easy and you have challenging moments which are not shown on the videos. I have always felt that you would be an excellent early childhood educator/teacher. The way you allow your children to play and just be themselves is a benefit to you and your children, especially the risky or natural play you allow your children to engage in, such as exploring the kitchen by themselves, investigating all the drawers and cabinets. As I am in Australia I also love seeing the Canadian winters and how you live through them. Keep being positive, you are doing great.
Jaaa
I also love neutrals and really like all the colors you have chosen for your house and clothing!🧡🌼
Ooh you answered some great questions!! I will be sad when you slow down on RUclips, but I totally understand where you’re coming from! 🙏🏼❤️
I've had two c sections and it took almost a year after my first one for that numbness to really start going away! And I'm a neutrals lover too.
Hi Delilah! I had a c-section around 1 year ago and started touching and massaging the scar, a week or 2 after the operation. My feeling in all the area is back to normal and any adhesion is minimal. If you haven't tried it yet, please do! You can even find a massage therapist or fysio who can help you out in the beginning 😊 I don't know why there isn't more talk around the recovery from c-sec, it would help so many! I hope you get this message and I hope you will get to feel yourself "entirely" soon! :*
I love colors but I don't miss any color when I look at your space because it's so serene
Watching Delilah fold laundry while I’m doing laundry, makes me feel like I have a friend by my side. I have 2 kids so far and I thought I was done but now I’m just feeling very nostalgic to think no more kids for me 🤷🏻♀️
If you have not and this is something that you would not feel weird about doing you could try c-section scare message to get that feeling back. You could do it by yourself or you could have your husband do it for you. It felt super weird to touch my incision and that whole area postpartum. After my second c-section I found out about scar message to help the area gain flexibility and normal sensation. Doing it just a little bit has helped so much.
I really enjoy watching your videos while my baby naps, it’s very restful for me! Thank you for making videos. (Love your sweater as well ☺️)
I just found your channel not too long ago I hate to see you leave but I think you're a beautiful person inside and out and I love your videos
I had a C-section for my first because she was breech, and then my son was born 5 years later in a water birth! So it is possible :) and it was an amazing experience :) Also, I love colours but I also really like your style and home, it’s very calming and lovely.
Hey Delilah!!
Obviously this is a decision to make with your OB but I just wanted to tell you that I had a C-Section with my first and got pregnant with my second at 7 months pp. So, they were 16 months apart and I successfully had a VBAC. While I know not everyone is like this, I just thought it would be helpful to share ❤️
This was encouraging for me too ♡
Same here too! Emergency c section the first time, followed by 2 VBACs (one 18 months apart and the other 2 years apart from the second)
I love how cosy your home is ♥️..
You’re absolutely correct on the color thing. You do you!!
Will listen after finalizing my minutes. Can't wait.....fingers moving quickly
As a c-section mama I have been told by my pelvic therapist that numbness is a indication of scar tissue. Scar massage will help with that innerbscar healing process. ❤
Also currently getting ready for my vbac any day now. Hbac actually. There are really a lot of options for vbac mamas. The vbaclink has a ton of evidence based research and help for vbac mamas. It goes without saying that when you are ready.
Ab rehab by Nancy Anderson is a really great healing program. 🤗❤
You're right!! We love sit down laundry chats :)))
Nice to meet you from Japan! I’m a mom of 5 months old. I really like your RUclips channel💕 Especially this kind of videos!
tbh ilove your colors , it soothes my eyes gives coolness and peaceful environment ! and yes you can have a natural birth after c-section just follow up with your doctor
While health care is a component, mine is pretty comprehensive and I spent the same amount the two years before I had kids as the year my baby was born (one broken hand, one semi-complicated miscarriage) so the health care piece of it wasn’t considerable for me. Financially ready had a lot to do with being able to afford a living situation that was “large enough” and in a good safe area for my children. Those things are probably considerations universally, although with different limitations - for example you’ve done well with small homes, and the where you live has always been bounded by your family unit so you didn’t have to consider vastly different places to live.
These new videos are a lifesaver when I'm feeling a little crazy on my 674th breastfeed session of the day (it's barely 1pm lol)
Literally my favorite type of video ♥️
Your faith inspires me and my faith 🙏
I’m a neutral girl myself I’ve been called all the names too girl but with Neutral colors you can always add color as well easily
I think renovation videos are not too personal and we'd love to see all of them come to life! Even if you decide to leave, a video once a month or two in the upcoming years, even if we don't get the entire process but a thorough before and after would be appreciated.
I love the vlogs, and the Q&As and we all love your dear kids, I rewatched Eloise's shopping haul many times, also Zach doing his woodworks is fun :)
So perhaps if you want more privacy (which yeah, we loved that you got more into the real life and a bit less staged) we all understand that and it's our loss :D but we'd love even more "distant" or "staged" content from you, so if you're worried about vlogs maybe just do prepared videos. Tour of the kid room, other practical things for upcoming parents.
Love you and your family, you're such an inspiration! Wish you all the best no matter what you choose.
PS: I'd love honey Bee merch back, finally have a baby to match with xD
i used to wear a lot of makeup but like you, i just do my eyebrows & mascara for work. it's a lot nicer that way & sometimes if i'm fancy, i would use some eyeliner.
I love your style, clothing wise you pull it off and house wise just looks amazing also! I love watching your videos keep being you and doing you (:
