Bravery is being open and vulnerable, you deserve a medal for being a young mother who balances all that you do each day as well as sharing it with the world. God knows you are special and every day is a gift. Thank you so much for sharing. 💖
I love how you stop in the moment and assess what’s needed- “maybe I should sleep instead of staying up late to bake the cake”. Wisdom. AND, and, and! The struggle is essential! It’s so true. It’s the state of our lives here. A beautiful struggle. It directs us back to Him. I’m a military wife. We have moved to a new home 6x in the last 10.5 years. We miss our friends, our church, our family that are in our home state, many times over and it’s just really hard (and lonely). You’re so right, God always sees us through it. I always still have to be reminded of that. Every. Time. Thank you for the reminder and for sharing.
Every time I see a new post on your channel, I jump for joy. Tk you so much for sharing your heart out. I have been feeling this way myself and am not sure why... But I do believe God allows us to go through it for a reason. The cake looks delicious and the tent is adorable... Many blessings ✨
Thank you for being vulnerable and real, this is important because it’s a reality for most of us and that’s just life, and it’s ok! 🙂 I wish you the best in this new chapter, you’ve got this.
I love how real and raw this is! You never try to cover up the hard parts in life, we all got them but some try to act like everything is perfect. I appreciate your transparency, God bless you girl! You will get through this and thrive 🤍🤍
I just rewatch your videos so many times that i have lost count. It just gives me so much strength. More power to you. Try to think when u are upset or you have a challenge infront of you which seems impossible, for just once imagine the moment it will be done and you are through with it. This helps me a lot. Academically ofcourse cz i m a student n we trick ourselves to just takes one step forward but in life too. Just imagine that moment when it’s done and done by solely you and no one else. More love to you and your family.❤️❤️
Being a mom of littles is exhausting. I remember trying so hard, but at the end of the day taking my own inventory and always feeling like I could have done better/more. Your kids will remember a magical teepee, a beautiful cake, a mom who lights up when they walk in the room. It doesn't matter if it happens on the same day…it just matters that it happened. You're doing a great job.
The reason you are so tired is because you are a mum! It’s hard, they take all of you, but it’s worth it! It doesn’t last forever and you will never regret any of it! You are such a wonderful mother. Don’t beat yourself up for not getting everything done in a day, that’s tomorrow Margret’s problem… look after you too x
Margaret, you’re doing an amazing job, mama. Transitions are hard, so give yourself grace during this period of change. Moving to a new place and your husband changing career fields are big changes for any family to go through, and it’s still a fresh change. Just give yourself grace each day. That’s why Jesus says to not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow has enough troubles of it’s own. I have to remember that as well when I feel stretched, and usually it’s because I’m doing it to myself. My stress usually comes from me taking on too much for myself and not limiting my work to what the Lord has equipped me to do. But your channel is such a breath of fresh air, and I so enjoy your vulnerability. It encourages me to do the same. Hope your boys love their new tent! Ok, end of long post. Lol
My husband’s job has moved us 5 times over our 30 year marriage. I would have the same low feelings in the first months in EVERY new house, until it started to feel like home. When you’re in those feelings, it can be hard. But what always brought me out was getting outside. Blessings to you and your new home. 💛
Thank you for what you do! Thank you for being so real with us. It helps us know we aren't the only ones! Glad the next day was a better day for you. Take care, you are doing great!!
I always love and look forward to your videos! Thanks so much for being real and vulnerable with the world. That’s not always easy, but you are blessing so many of us and helping us not feel alone in so many ways. Thank you for sharing your life and wisdom with us weekly. Can’t wait for your next video. ❤️
I feel ya Momma. I try to live simply too but life is not simple sometimes and I am learning that in those times is when you have to give yourself so much grace. Having little ones is hard, they are blessings but they are emotional rollercoasters and so utterly dependent. Plus as mommas we tend to put so much pressure on ourselves and that builds up over time. Meditate, pray, move your body, anything you got to do to fill your cup and know that in the end it's all about love. ❤️
Not me tearing up at the end. Boy do I know those heavy soul sighs. So much love for you friend 🫂 one new sunrise at a time. Loved this one (as always) 🌷
Margaret, you are so beautiful. Praying blessings upon blessings over you and your gorgeous family. I am a mummy later in life and know and echo the feelings you described too. Thank you for this, it really touched me and I feel so grateful to have connected with your channel xxx
Just dropping in to say among those big transitions, stressful or exciting, this discomfort is normal. My family just moved back home which I thought would make it easier but the stress of the move has put me in the most vulnerable state and while I try to stay strong for my little one, I often struggle and don’t feel myself. Keep fueling your soul and giving your body what it is asking for and when in doubt know you are not alone 💕
This was nice to watch. Currently sitting in an empty apartment in a new state starting a new job. (My furniture gets delivered on Monday). Transition is hard & lonely. I have felt so out of place for so long & just desire to feel grounded/settled.
This vlog got me. Stumbled onto it and I love your honesty. I’m in a transition period of my own for different reasons, but you can’t help the emotions that come out of nowhere. Thanks for being vulnerable with us. You have a new subscriber. Peace to you! ❤️
I also feel the heaviness and can relate. I think the weather in the Midwest is draining me, along with the events of our country and world currently. On top of that my energy is sapped so quickly when I’m trying to achieve a project or simply bake because my attention has to be divided between that and my kids. I too had to bake a cake (2 actually) this weekend and it was a struggle to make it happen.
Let us know how the sound machine projector works out, cool find. & you are very inspiring. I appreciate your vulnerability I struggle myself with feeling cluttered (although minimal), stretched thin & exhausted. We’re not alone, sending my love 💖
Margaret! You are doing an amazing job. When you were talking about sleep and finishing a cake I can relate...God gives us wisdom when we ask. Give yourself grace with transitions and moving, they are huge and take a lot out of a person. Your vlogs I look forward to on a weekly basis. A scripture that helps me is that may be encouraging for you is Isaiah 26:3- "You will keep him in perfect peace, Whose mind is stayed on you, because he trusts in you". Hope you have a wonderful Resurrection Sunday with your family!
Ok yum! That cake looked delicious! And I so appreciate your honesty. Sometimes we do all the things and we still feel low. That's when we stay faithful..to do the things...to take it to the Lord and we come back around. Stronger. With firmer resolve. Firmer faith. This may not be my place, but I also recently listened to a podcast that was super insightful about my mood fluctuations throughout my cycle. It was recommended to me by a friend and if you'd be interested I can find it again! Anyways, I appreciate your content. It's one of the only channels that after I watch, I want to live my life fuller, more present, and simpler. So thank you! Appreciate you girl!
You are amazing - thank you for your honesty. Life is filled with so much joy for me too right now but it also feels incredibly hard (sleep deprivation with my 6 month old - it's hard to function). As a mama, I think we can feel so alone but your videos and honesty always bring joy. I pray for strength for you today (and more sleep!). Much love xx
Thanks for sharing as always! Not sure if anyone told you but that is a springform pan. I usually use mine for making cheesecake. Google tells me that it can also be used for tarts, pies, frozen desserts, etc.
I wonder if it's the season not changing soon enough! Feeling the same way my friend! I am in a funk and I know I need to plan better so I can be better prepared for my diet and just life in general! Hang in there and keep being real!
Hang in there beautiful! This too shall pass! Any time there is a transition in life its normal to have these feelings of uncertainty and unsettled. Find some happy places (like you did with your tent space) and know that the sun will come out tomorrow! I love that you put the cake away instead if powering thru and being tired the next day, I need to learn that skill! 😘🥰
My unpopular opinion: when you feel that exhausted put away the electronics, cover the mirrors, put away the scales, and get outside in nature!! Do for 90 days and see how you feel!
Aw Mama, love you so! The energy on the planet is very dense right now...A LOT of purging of old patterns which is intense. You are on your path. Exactly, where you need to be. Birthing a new Earth is, at the very least, exhausting! xoxoxoxo
Been there girl. And I can relate to the constant moving. I also tend to max out quicker then others. You aren't alone. Also. Where did you get both your Hoodies from? I like a simple wardrobe too and am on the hunt for the perfect Hoodie.
Canadian here. Shoes in Canada come off at the door we have to remind ex pat Canadians who come to stay. If our 103 yr old grandma can wear house slippers you don’t get to whine. Half the maintenance from my friends in the States. Different culture no idea why even American tv has shoes indoors Canadian does not.
I think it must depend on the weather. I live in Montana and we all take shoes off here at people’s houses. Maybe because Montana and Canada have SO much snow and dirt? Not sure exactly why, haha.
Shoes in the house is a pet peeve of mine too! I’ve had a sign (a cute one in like a DIY wreath) on my door for over a year and our family is the WORST at respecting it!! It’s crazy! I still have to ask them to take off their shoes!! 🤪 Love the boys reaction to the tent!! So sweet!
Feel this hard place right now, really do. Thanks for being a real leader and leading with vulnerability so others like me can know it is ok to open up and not be perfect too! Makes me think of the Hillsong-Dese'srt Song. I think I left the harvest two months ago-I could feel a shift. And now I am in the battle and maybe the fire too. But I love how the song says at the end, "we are filled to be emptied again..." like ok it so hard what can I do but trust you Lord, like you said bc you always carry be through the test to offer me a testimony. So off to sip some more coffee on this sleep deprived morning-grateful for your example friend!

Loved it!!!!! Thank you so much for this video!! Just know that brings peace to us knowing we all have same struggles!
Have a blessed Easter!

Thank you for being so real ❤️
I love you! Thank you for being real and someone who’s so relatable❤️ keep being a light in the world and on RUclips....it matters.❤️❤️✝️
Whenever I put on the beanies like your first one I always feel like I look like I’m in a boy band from the 00s 🤣🤣

I have good childhood memories making tents with sheets and chairs at my friends' houses.

I love your videos so much. Thanks you for being real and raw. Much love.
Thanks for always being so real and honest!
You are amazing - thank you for your honesty. Life is filled with so much joy for me too right now but it also feels incredibly hard (sleep deprivation with my 6 month old - it's hard to function).

Thank you for sharing your heart! I hear you
Great thrift finds!!! You are a great mom!!
Thanks for sharing as always! Not sure if anyone told you but that is a springform pan. I usually use mine for making cheesecake. Google tells me that it can also be used for tarts, pies, frozen desserts, etc.
You’re awesome just the way you are! Stay golden!❤
I wonder if it's the season not changing soon enough! Feeling the same way my friend! I am in a funk and I know I need to plan better so I can be better prepared for my diet and just life in general! Hang in there and keep being real!
You’re such an amazing soul. 🥰
Such kind words, thank you Nancy.
Hang in there beautiful!
This too shall pass! Any time there is a transition in life its normal to have these feelings of uncertainty and unsettled. Find some happy places (like you did with your tent space) and know that the sun will come out tomorrow! I love that you put the cake away instead if powering thru and being tired the next day, I need to learn that skill! 😘🥰
The pan you bought is a spring form pan. Google all the things you can make in it. Cute ⛺️ tent and twinkle ✨ lights. Awesome 🎂 cake
You are a beautiful soul!!
8:30 that's a spring form pan for making cheesecake! 😋
Sending peace and love your way
Today and always ☮️ ❤️

Hi Bravery, Itsy first time here and I love it. I love your bubly personality. My name is Stéphanie from Canada.🌟😀
In a previous video you mentioned Smear Natural. I had asked which one and you said BRIDAL. Is it the balm or whip? Thanks! :)
Canadian here. Shoes in Canada come off at the door we have to remind ex pat Canadians who come to stay. If our 103 yr old grandma can wear house slippers you don’t get to whine.

where did she get her blue light glasses?
Hi there! New subbie!

Feel this hard place right now, really do. Thanks for being a real leader and leading with vulnerability so others like me can know it is ok to open up and not be perfect too!
