I gave my daughter her binky back because she was so sleep deprived and it was really concerning. She’s been sleeping so well ever since, I’m not even guilty, we told her we would say bye bye to binky when SHE’s ready!
Girl I’m so happy for you that you are sleeping through the night, and so is Ekko! - she won’t go to college with a binky (: they’re only little for so long, it’s OK!! 🤍
also! your kids are fully potty trained, they seem to be so advanced so if this is the one thing you have to be a little lenient with I think that’s totally ok and you shouldn’t feel guilty for making your little one feel better at night. ❤It’s all about perspective!
love this vlog! Made me want to do a movie night watching how excited rocky got ❤❤ Re: ekkos sleep - we did the same thing with our daughter, she couldn’t self soothe at 2.5 and still needed it. For her third birthday, we talked about it for weeks and she handed it to me on her birthday and said “I’m three, so I don’t need this” and that was the end of it! I was dreading it because of how tough it was the times before we had tried to take it but it was sooo easy. Sending you love! ❤
Love your hair! Also our shower and tub situation are the EXACT same and I hate it!! We have talked about doing the same to give better functionality! It will look so good when it’s done!
I am so happy that you are getting sleep again and you shouldn’t feel guilty about helping your daughter get her sleep and of course your sleep too! I raised 3 daughters and not one of them took their pacifiers to college! Life is hard and they are only little for such a short time! She clearly needs her bindi to self sooth and I am proud of you for doing what is right for you and your family. Btw your Halloween decor and fun party stuff id on point! I never sleep on HomeGoods and the At Home stores! They have great deals and super cute stuff.
Love the new hair! And getting excited seeing your Disney outfits because we are taking my daughter for her 4th birthday next weekend for the first time to Disney World! ❤
If Miss ekko still needs her binkie who cares! Do what’s best for you and your family! You are an awesome mom don’t let anyone tell you different!!!❤️❤️
I don’t celebrate Halloween, but I love how you decorate and do little gift baskets for the kids. It is so sweet and thoughtful of you, Rocky definitely loved it! On the last few min of the video, don’t feel guilty. You have to do what you have to do with your child that works for you and your family. Every child is different and unique. Most kids need braces anyways. Sleep is so important! Speaking from experience of having a baby that has woken up multiple times every night for the last 14 months and it is so hard. When we have a goodnight sleep on rare occasions I am like a completely different person and have so much more energy to play with him and get things done around the house. Love the new hair also. Love the channel and you and thank you for being vulnerable with us ❤
Had my kid sleep trained from early on, and then he figured out how to climb into my bed from his crib. Needless to say, we have been co-sleeping since then. Sleep training out the window. Haha I will re-visit sleep training again one of these days 😅 You pick your battles and do what you have to do ❤
Who cares if she needs a binky at 2 and a half!! Most adults need some comforts to sleep through the night (special blankets, eye masks, the room at the right temperature etc). It seems totally reasonable to me that a 2.5 year old can't self soothe at 2am every night if we can't. Don't feel guilty! I also might be way off base with this, but please don't feel pressure to create the same content as everyone else if it doesn't suit your life. I'm Australian and my favourite thing about watching RUclips vlogs is just seeing how people live in different parts of the world. If you're still hot in Arizona right now, then I'd encourage you to own that. It makes you stand out. You're the only person I follow who lives there and it's nice to see some variety rather than just repeats of the same Fall vlogs. 😊 Maybe I say this because Autumn is just not a big thing here. The best parts of the year (Christmas etc) happen in our Summer, but still, I like the variety. xx
Love the hair, I did the same thing a year ago, I always told myself it’s only hair it grows back, the change was nice, I love your creativity for the holidays, you always do such a nice job 😀 have fun at Disney 👻🎃
Sending you love and yes I care about you and your family so much ! I always feel like I’m with my favorite girlfriend when I watch your vlogs! Also yes I wouldn’t worry about the Binky! My son who just turned three sleeps with his at night. If he naps which he usually doesn’t he doesn’t have it. However there are even times during the day I let him have it if I see he needs to self soothe it is feeling stressed. I talked to my dentist about it and she had no issues because isn’t really sucking in it.. it’s just sort of in his mouth helping him to change his mind and relax since it’s been the thing to help him relax since he was born. I don’t care what anyone thinks when I’m in public and he might have it.. too bad for other people I say !!!! If he asks for it I sometimes ask him why he might want it and he can often express to me why which is a great way to then talk about feelings and practice calm breathing or read a book or do something that might given whatever the situation might be. Sorry for the long comment but I felt bad you even had to say what you did. I applaud and thank you for always sharing and be open and honest. You have helped me many times through my motherhood journey ! Sending all of you so much love and I hope your trip to Disney is Fabulous! ❤
We just went to Disneyland about two weeks ago! We left around 2am and it was a lot easier than the first time we drove out there and we left mid morning. The weather was very nice! It was a little humid and was cloudy in the mornings but would clear up and be very sunny for the rest of the day. I hope you guys have a great time!
Do YOU girlfriend! If bringing the binky back gets you more sleep, ignore all the negative comments and do it! Only the mamas that struggle with this will understand.
Love your videos- we’re going on a Disney cruise at the end of the year and those crocs would be cute! Thanks for the inspo! Also not sure if it’s the same for the binky but my oldest stopped sucking his thumb at 4.5 and his teeth shifted so quickly! The dentist couldn’t even tell he was ever a thumb sucker after just 2 months. Obviously can’t just take his thumb away haha but our dentist just said to try to break the habit before adult teeth come in (5ish).
My daughter is 2.5 and still uses her binky for sleep. It’s hard to take away their comfort so I get it! My goal is to take it away slowly in the next 2 months but I have no idea how I’m going to do that 🥲 my daughter LOVES it.
Don’t feel guilty girl. You do what you have to do, and if it’s helping Ekko then that’s what’s right. I took my first son’s paci at about 2.5 maybe closer to 3? He’s the same age as Rocky. But I could tell he just wasn’t ready. Oh also, I had a pediatric dentist tell me that baby teeth are supposed to have gaps, and research is showing that soft pacifiers really don’t affect baby teeth. So chances are, unless genetics are at play, your children might not even need braces anyway
Aren't you going to lose a lot of natural light by enclosing the shower with a wall? Have you considered using a large piece of glass instead? Maybe it's more costly but it would be such a shame to lose all that natural lighting!
I would’ve done the same with the binky 🫶 our dentist said taking it away at 3 is completely fine. We waited until then with our son and his teeth shifted to normal so quickly after!
I didn’t take my daughter’s binky away until she was 3 even though so many people were saying to take it sooner and it was something I was extremely worried about. She was VERY attached to the binky but surprisingly she did amazing with taking it away! If Ekko having her binky helps soothe her there’s no harm in letting her have it again. 3 was definitely the best age to take it away. Sometimes you gotta do what’s best for them but also for you too!🤍 Hope it goes well when you revisit taking the binky next time around.
What works for your family is all that matters!!! My daughter is still a terrible sleeper and I start hallucinating. I had to turn to methods that a lot of people would advise against but if I can't function in a day... thennnnnnn 🫠 we don't need to go there. Anyway, I support you!!
From one mom to another, I will never shame you for doing what works for the kids and your mental health! ❤sleep is needed for everyone 🩷
It sounds to me like you figured out what your child needed & did what was necessary to take care of you & your family! Good job mama ❤
There’s so much that just goes into parenting that you realize all that matters is you and your family are happy ❤️

One of my favorite vlogs so far
Oh my gosh your hair is soooo cute!! I love the color on you I feel like it compliments your features so well!
Already told you on IG but I’m obsessed with your hair!! It’s perfect on you

@@Hanbanz okay we always bring the tonies but headphones!!! Auch a good idea

Well this just gives me so much fear for when my son’s binky need to go. He relies on it for sleep. Ugh! Love you shorter hair!
Never feel guilty for doing what ever helps you and your children

Hi Kilean! Random question .. is that an ice maker next to your fridge? If so which one is it? ☺️
My daughter is 2.5 and still uses her binky for sleep. It’s hard to take away their comfort so I get it! My goal is to take it away slowly in the next 2 months but I have no idea how I’m going to do that 🥲 my daughter LOVES it.
What’s the song that you use in the beginning called?
Don’t feel guilty girl. You do what you have to do, and if it’s helping Ekko then that’s what’s right. I took my first son’s paci at about 2.5 maybe closer to 3? He’s the same age as Rocky.

I’m always surprised the things my kids love the most for car rides is books! Some other favorites are Squigs, stickers and printed family photos.
I’m getting pregnant vibes lol 🙊
Parasites can also cause sleep issues. Try a dewormer for children.
First!
Ummm you need sleep. No shame to you momma! 😭😞🫶🏻🫶🏻🫶🏻

When you gave your kids their boo baskets and hearing Rocky say “best Halloween day ever” 🥲🥲 THAT is what makes motherhood worth it all! ❤️
