Saga can learn both Swedish and English at the same time. I remember a experiment done years ago where they read to babies in 7 diff langs everyday. When they spoke they were able to speak all 7 languages.
Yess!! I'm a social worker and I work in education, the most important part about raising bilingual kids is to have the languages associated to one specific primary care taker, so one person only speaks English to the kid and the other one only swedish. It may take a little longer for them to start speaking in general but that is nothing to be worried about! :)
Exactly. I speak 3 mother tongues and understand 3 more and it’s just like knowing different colors, I don’t think there is a real limit to it
My mum's Danish and my dad's English. Growing up I lived both places but spent most of my childhood in Denmark. My dad became fluent in Danish through lessons and by speaking Danish to my mum. Still to this day they never speak English to eachother. With my brother and I however, my dad would only speak in English to us. That's how we became bilingual. It's funny because it's just so natural for the four of us to have a conversation, let's say at the dinner table, and speak both English and Danish. We will be discussing something and one will speak English while the other responds in Danish. I don't even really notice it but friends and family always laugh at us. Thought I'd share as it could be you one day 🙂
This sounds like so much fun!
I'm the exact same! My dad is Danish, mom is Canadian, and I was raised pretty half-and-half between Denmark and Canada, and we also spoke both languages in the home. Currently I live in Denmark with my danish partner, and we're expecting our first child. I'm hoping to raise her bilingually, as it has been such a gift to me :)
I love that Maya just has gotten more vibrant and more herself!!! THE WAY SHE CALLED OUT CANADA🤣🤣!!!! Y’all look so happy and energized 💛💛
The pregnancy, birth of Saga and new parent phase is such a huge part of your collective stories. It’s overwhelming for me to even imagine you having another baby at this point, and yet, people do it all of the time the world over. What will be, will be. I am confident that you both will manage and thrive. Your partnership and communication skills are impressive. God bless 🙏🏾🌷😃
What will be, will be. AMEN! 🙏🏽🙏🏻
postpartum doesn't have a time limit. you will always be post birth, post pregnancy. please give yourself grace. it's not something you have to get over like a cold.
I see a lot of Maya in Saga’s facial features and I see Max’s influence on her eyes and skin tone. Time will definitely tell! Really enjoyed the video 🤎
Also just want to say- Saga will learn English regardless. It’s now basically the primary global language. For that reason it may be beneficial to focus on other languages during her formative years.
My son looks nothing like me...However, he mirrors my mind. As an infant he very rarely cried because I was so tuned into his needs, routines and moods. As a teen, we are closer than close and can read each others thoughts. Having a "mini me" physically does not compare to having one mentally.
The thing is...despite Maya's beautiful skin color, she actually looks alot like her Mom.
Exactly! I wonder if she sees that. People put way too much emphasis on the skin tone.
Was looking for this comment. Saga in the thumbnail is Maya all over
Beautiful video - and Maya, Saga totally looks like you! (as well as looking like Max, of course.)
I've had the same experience - I'm mixed (b&w) and my daughter's father is white. So when she was little she was WHIIIITE!!! She's still quite light skinned but we look so alike and she is very visibly a mixed-heritage person of African descent.
I admire you so much for saying it hurts your ego - such a healthy attitude to take to it rather than sweeping the issue under the carpet like I did early on.
Sending multi-ethic hugs - we da future baby! 🙋🏾 💟
Love this!!💕💕🙏🏽
Idk how your baby looks like but white is not just ed sheeran white lol, many white ppl have darker skin tones (idk in us), if you're mixed with white and her dad is white she is/will look mostly white and should embrace what she is, I hope you're not like many other black and mixed women in US that have kids with non black man and even when the kid looks practically white they look for any little think in them,(like curly hair and olive skin tone,that also many whites have) to make them embrace more what they have less in,that's only gonna confuse them/create self hate and it's also not beneficial for black ppl. ✌🏽
Maya- I just have to say I have been watching your RUclips videos since before you had shaved your head years ago and you have inspired me in so many ways! You were actually my inspiration for shaving my curly hair around that same time and I definitely relate to being mixed race. I admire your new way of living in Sweden so much it is a pleasure watching your journey! Happy you found Max and congratulations on your beautiful baby! Saga is an incredible name! Sending you love.
Age gaps is a conversation you should have. I have ones that are 2 years apart, and ones that are 9 years apart. There so different but the 2 years apart are so much closer to each other. I think especially with a farm having Saga with a close age gap to a sibling would be wonderful to see them run around and play. I have 4 kids, so having 2 and 2 that are close in age you see it in there play. It’s tough In The beginning having them so close in age but when they get older, the fun they have together is priceless.
It's been really great watching your journey and seeing how you guys communicate coming from two different cultures. My husband and I are from different cultures, both artists, and spend a lot of time with each other. We also live in a studio apartment which has been so rough recently, so we've found a routine to help us both get out of the house and have solo work time. It was helpful to hear that you also had a moment where you're like "oh we need space". I don't have many friends that can relate to my situation so I'm so glad you're being open with some of the struggles. Again thanks for sharing 💕
Love you guys. You really inspire me with the way you choose to move through life as individuals, as a partnership, and as parents. We're all figuring it out - thank you for sharing your world with us authentically.
I always appreciate your transparency, this video was surprisingly helpful to me so I'm actually extra appreciative. Also I have to say it the look you guys did when Saga woke up was absolutely hilarious I literally spat my smoothie out lol😂😂❤
You guys are doing amazing through all of these life changes! Keep growing beautifully!!!
In all honesty I just want to say that I like the two of you together. There's something about the dynamic of both of you and how you interact that's so genuine and special. And with each video Saga is growing more and more. Soon she'll be crawling and then walking. I wish the two of you the very best.
I was WAITING for this ! Yay! Glad to see you guys doing so well. 🤍💫
Thank you for your patience!
A year goes by so so fast 💨., loving these updates ❤️❤️., I so respect the honesty and truth you both give about parenting and being married 🥰👍🏽., so happy to still be on this journey with Maya from wayyyyyyy back in Canada and NYC … love you 😍 both
Thank you for your continued support!
What a cutie your daughter is🥰 Been following for ages Maya as always I love your honesty and transparency and your ability to be so vulnerable and real on your journey. Bless you and your beautiful family💕
I love the honesty and transparency you two are sharing with us. Im the same way with my husband. He drives me absolutely NUTS when we're together too much lol. Its a good thing he's a truck driver and I'm in public accounting. I like how you guys have the office space to work in.
I just love your little family and Maya watching you now thinking about you in your NY days, to your LA days, to now...... Such a huge shift and I love to see it!! Keep shinning! #MMS
Such a great video! Thank you for allowing us to have a peek into your lives. I’ve watched you, Maya, for many years now since you lived in NY at the beginning of your shameless journey. You have made a beautiful life for yourself! I’ve always thought that Saga favored Maya more than Max. She’s so adorable!
I am so HAPPY seeing you two grow in your marriage & family. Sending love from Chicago!
Yes! 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
I definitely see Maya's shape eyes in Saga.
What a lovely family💙🥰🥰🥰💖💖
Yes babes! Come to Mexico. I'm in a similar situation, my husband is Mexican and I'm Scottish, and we're expecting our first baby. I go back and spend time in Scotland for a few months per year but most of the time we're living in Mexico and it's such an awesome place to build a life.
YOU GUYS ARE ADORABLE! love you both so much!!!
I was homeschooled and I hated it for a while.
However, I’m so blessed + privileged to have experienced what I have. It’s amazing if you know how to balance core curriculum with living life.
1 of my favorite YT families!! Sending u positive vibes and lots of future happiness ❤️
Thank you for all the positivity!
Alot of people have a misconception that homeschooled children don't socailize well. But from my persepctive (a former homeschooled child) and me seeing homeschooled children, homeschoolers actually socialize BETTER and more mature because they're around adults alot (parents, family, adults in society). Alot of public schooled kids have social anxiety because they're just thrown into school and shocked into social life rather than socializing organically in a safe setting. My Dad also made us go outside everyday and it definitely helps to get the kids off the electronics and into appreciating nature and the calming benefits thereof.
thiiiiiiiis
Exactly!
👍I love seeing you guys together. Thank you for sharing. Wishing you both the absolute best. 💝
Great Q&A, Max, and Maya! Loved this! I can't wait for more Q&As from you guys this year.
Inspiration is super important! I'm so glad that you're getting your groove back Momma Maya, you look amazing you guys!
Awh this is so special, you are both so amazing, thank you for being open and honest. It’s great to see a couple being authentically different but also the same and working together to create a wonderful family. What a wonderful catch up . If you guys ever want to come to London we would love to host you❤️
The return of our fave fearless couple!! We watched your recent video and are excited to see your story being documented again. We’ve missed you 🙏🏻🙏🏽💕
l love this video! Especially when you spoke about the home renovation sparking your creativity. During the pandemic, I got major anxiety and I associated my house and the way it looked with that time. Thankfully in June of 2020 we renovated our entire home and it just woke something in me to be myself and create again. The human mind is something else hey.
I just love you two so much. As a Childbirth Educator who tries to prepare new parents for this ride, I often refer them to your videos. You are both so lovely and honest. My husband is white, I am Canadian born of West Indian heritage and when my first child was born, I was so focused on the fact that this kid did not look like me! As she navigated through toddler-hood, her mama was coming out of her in SOOOOO many ways!! For what it's worth Maya, I see ALOT of you in Saga for sure!!
As long as she is healthy thats all that matters , God bless you and your family ❤👍
Maya I am there with you on the Canada comment 😅. It’s so nice to see you two sit down and film these types of videos. Just videos of figuring life out together. Love your family 💕
Hey, I was considering emigrating from the US to Canada and was wondering what’s wrong with Canada? Like are there issues in regards to racism? Or are there issues with how the country is handling the pandemic? Any information would help as the moving process is a lot of work 😅
Hahahahahahaaaa Mayaaaa as a Candian living in Toronto I totally agree with you. God bless your family.
Thank you for sharing your anwsers! You're such a beautiful family!
Thank you 🙏🏻🙏🏽
Awww, I hope you and the baby have many great sleeps! 🦄👸🏽
Loved the video and your different point of views on things! It’s always refreshing😊
Maya, I’d be interested in learning a little more about the messed up shit Canada’s doing in your opinion. please enlighten me, lol. I stayed there for 2 years, goingback home to paris in a few weeks though.
Keep the videos coming! Sending love to your family😘
Oooooh!!! 😮You replied to my question ☺☺☺ I think I made the same face as Saga when she tried her new food: genuine surprise and joy 🤣 Her smile was the highlight of my day, so cute and authentic!
Omg I feel this episode so much 😂 I'm originally from Canada and feel the same, AND I went from being long distance with my partner to moving to the UK and living together in a studio full 24/7 at home on lockdown 😂😂 it was great but at the same time it's really hard to like someone when you don't get time in a different room than them! So glad to be out of that flat
Great video. I definitely see both of you in Saga!
So happy to see a new video!!!
So happy to have you!
It’s so beautiful to see you as a family ❤️ Maya breastfeeding while dad wrapped up the video. Look at you guys doing this beautiful thing called parenting! So PROUD of you guys. Hugs from Miami 😘
Your daughter is a beautiful combination of Both of you. Beautiful family. Saga has Maya's eyes. 🌹
Love you guys 💜💜💜
You guys are awesome!
❤️ just because. I’ll be back when the video is done.
I really enjoyed the video, lots of food for thought when in comes to raising kids. As per usual lots of blessings and have a great great day!
Love!!
beautiful couple, so much wisdom ❤
🤗Thank you kindly for answering my question! Great video- transparent & organic! Much love from NJ!
Thank you!! And thank you for sending your questions 🙏🏻🙏🏽
The gangsta sunglasses edit after Maya's Canada proclamation😂😂😂
😂😂😂period
God bless your husband. I see how happy he is to be a daddy 🥰
im glad you changed the title I totally think saga looks like a great mix between you two!
Can you do a video on all your different natural hairstyles Maya! Lol they are so beautiful, and I need help with how to do some more styles! Every video you've done on this channel or the past year have been so creative! Please share lol
Saga is so cute! Love you guys!
I love that you were breatfeeding its so wholesome and realistic of your lives together
💕 Hello! Maya, my daughter and I met you yrs ago (she looked like your twin when your hair was short). I wanted to add that regarding education there is also the option of public and private school online. Here they have the option of having a teacher(s), state approved curriculum and the support of traditional school. Our kids are in front of screens in school most of the day, this option actually cuts that down (2-3hours a day max). With online, you can actually filter what they are learnings and be a support without the pressure of creating a system. These schools also have weekly/monthly meet ups where they do things together and make in person connections. I believe this is also a balance for some who want to be involved but not totally responsible. Let's not forget it's mobile so they don't miss school and can still travel. 🌺
Me snickering at the fact that Max doesn’t really seem to mind being too close to Maya. My boyfriend is the same. I can’t even tell him where I’m going without him driving 20 min to me to tag along for random everyday things. 😂
Thanks for sharing!❤️
I can soooo relate to giving birth to a baby girl that doesn’t look anything like me (as my Italian mum experienced with me too). It’s a strange experience but of course I love my daughter to pieces no matter what she looks like 🥰🥰🥰😇💕🙏🏽
❤️❤️
Same! My mom is Italian and I don’t look like her really at all. Regardless we are still super close and very much alike. Saga is a cutie and such a beautiful blend of both parents 🥰
I'm Black American, so my family ranges from very pale to very dark. That's the norm for us. But my daughter's dad is white Scottish. She's as fair as my aunt who has two black parents. Genetics 🤷♀
It is a challenging experience, particularly for a mother. I came across several mothers of colour who shared stories when they were quizzed about their baby by strangers. People tend to be quite tactless and though it may seem trivial, these sort of comments can get under one's skin. I think that if a child looks different it is particularly important to teach them visual differences are normal and mixed race family is no worse than others. It may seem trivial but the society can sometimes be really backwards about this and then you may start to doubt yourself as a parent. For the record, I have a tan skin tone and my mother is white.
@@GenXBecks well in US most of yall are very mixed down the line. ik MANY black african families and the differences between family members are not that many,for example I've never seen a black family have a light and a brown/dark skin kid or cousin, unless they have it with a non black person.& any black person ik that has a light/mixed looking baby,had it with a mixed,asian or white person.ik in africa there are mixed ppl/couples too and many africans are also mixed down the line but they don't do it as much as America or other places.The most diverse families ik are latin american ones but when you see their parents and granparents at least one side has white and native members or is a mix of all..mixed ppl create other mixed ppl whatever race they have kids with
That’s so interesting that y’all think Saga doesn’t look like Maya. I think as far as features they look just alike! Yes, she light like Max, but I see Maya 100%. She’s a perfect little blend 🥰
Awww what a beautiful family
Oh yesss! I love that you took the gloves off for Canada haha XD I'm in Quebec and I'm so tired of what our country is doing. I have hope that things will change soon. I think most of us are tired. BUT I love your views about having a base. Thanks for sharing with us!
Hey, I was considering emigrating from the US to Canada and was wondering what you meant when you said you were tired of what Canada was doing? Is that in regards to racism with poc and black people or it is more in regards to how the country is handling the COVID pandemic like are they mandating vaccines or making it mandatory to stay inside or something? Any information would help as the moving process is a lot of work.😄
@@prettyj7701 Hey :) Currently really regarding how our country is handling the pandemic, yes. Especially in the last few months. There are a few differences in each province, but overall it's been a bit rough and quite different compared to other countries. All of this is based on my perception on things. I have no idea what Maya was referring to in the video :)
Question: What's wrong with Canada? Maya, I would love for you to expand on this.
Unfortunately you can’t really discuss certain matters on RUclips anymore without them trying to take your channel down.
Someone please fill me in? Is she saying she’s against immunizations? Or are we speaking about the mass Native graves of children found?
As an American living in Canada, I'm also curious of what Canada is doing so horribly that makes the US more of her choice to base in? Must be the vaccine enforcements I guess?
Also wondering the same thing! I’m American and I’ve been wanting to move to Canada because I don’t like how America is handling anything in this country. From racism to the pandemic, police brutality, woman’s rights, healthcare…it’s all dysfunctional! I thought Canada would be better? Is it not?
@@prettyj7701 I've been living here for 4 years now and it is better. No country is perfect, but here there are many measures taken that consider quality of living-- i.e., health care, gun laws, etc. The covid measures (for example) are a lot, but seeing how the virus has affected the US, especially Black people in the US, I am fine with these measures set in place. It's a bit ridiculous to shame a country for trying to protect people.
Love this channel 💜💜
We love you 🙏🏽🙏🏻
We choose a school for our children that is a very social school. It follows the Jena plan system of education. 3 years are in the same class working together. Older help younger kids. I talked with adults I know that did this school and they are wonderful people.
For subjects like math you can always use khan academy at home too. And life has sooo many opportunities to teach children skills and knowledge. It just takes more time to do things with kids while teaching them .
I’ve missed seeing Jackie!!! 🥰🥰🥰🥰
Oh my goodness Saga is the sweetest baby Angel 🥰
The way Maya said "I don't want a base in Canada" 💀💀💀😆😆😆
ur skintone is GORGEOUS! i also understand having a baby that looks NOTHING like me...my oldest is my twin and my youngest looks just like her daddy, ...i actually had the nurse ask me immediately after giving birth, "how does it feel to give birth to a child that looks nothing like u"??? -i was so offended and just taken back by that comment...but it is true lol...my husband says she looks like him but she has a LOT of me in her personality and she is so gorgeous i wouldnt want her any differently!
Research Montessori style learning. It’s so fun and can incorporate it into your home. Bobby Parish’s daughter Rose is a baby who can cook her own meals lol look them up.
Thank you for the updates; my eyes lit up when I got the message on my phone that you released a new video!! You both are doing great things together, and apart, and you are super blessed to have found your soulmate!
FYI: Girls usually look like their father and boys like their mother. Therefore, Maya, if you want a child who looks like you, you and Max will need to get pregnant again and birth a boy!! 🥰😉
Saga's scared face 😫 I love her expressions.
I love how Saga always makes an entrance 🎉
The value of teaching math is it gives them a foundation for abstract thinking in the future - as well as a foundation for a math-heavy field if that is what they choose to explore later in life! However, I do think that many math courses are taught formulaically instead of focusing on building abstract thinking. I'm a former math teacher, and I remember being shocked to see that students were going through the motions of, for example, adding or subtracting fractions, without understanding *why* they were taking the steps they were taking. I also agree it's important to translate that math to everyday use. Much love from Norway!
Just watched a vid from KT Bubu and her little one hears only Korean from her mother and English from her hubby. She is only 15months old and responds so well to both languages, so you can do it the same way. I'm enjoying your journey.
Aww the Baby is gorgeous
Aww Maya! Let me tell you I am living example that even though the child comes out white they can still look like you 😂I look just like my black mother now but as a child you would think I was adopted 🤣I do think she looks like you already though ❤
Thanks for stopping by Kellsey. And yes, we have no doubt Saga’s looks will continue to change 🌟
You guys will have FOUR kids!!!!!!!!! Take my word!!!
You are my real RUclips couple you don’t fake it like others 💓
I can totally relate to being an adult and not speaking my mothers first language. I would be adamant that my kids learn something else before English since that’s taught in school everywhere.
Very true
We are in the opposite situation, we speak English at home because our kids will learn Dutch in school anyway. I really don't want my kids to have a Dutch accent in their English. I do speak fluent Dutch but English is my native language.
💚Saga smacking on her greens with those little wayward strands of hair😍💚
I love you both. But I am in awe at the fact that Max is so PRESENT in his child's life and very much enjoying it.
She has her mother's head and shape eyes. Everything can change over the years.
I raleted to the part living back in Canada 😂😂😂😂. I am looking into Mexico, they make it easier for Canadians to purchase there. I can't wait to see more of your family stories 😁
Same 😂. Even as a non-Canadian that lived there for 5 years and had the opportunity to stay forever if I wanted to. I couldn’t do it. I actually went to Mexico for 6+ months after leaving Canada
@@NomadicIslanders Hi Would you mind sharing why you couldn’t see yourself live in Canada? I stayed for 2 years (of a pandemic😒) and I’m going back home to Paris in a few weeks but I’m interested in other people’s perception Of Canada?
I love your videos and learning about your growth, experiences, and personal stories. We love Boss Lady Saga. I look forward to Max speaking in Swedish to Maya. Also, how are you guys are introducing Swedish to Saga? Maybe that could be another video.
I usually speak Swedish with saga when I’m alone with her but sometimes when mayas around too. Maya is learning to speak too 🙏🏻
@@MaxMayaLiving That is phenomenal, Max! Personally, I have struggled with learning a new language. Yet, I know how important and valuable it is to have someone to speak and practice with. I am so excited and looking forward to a progress update video from Maya (maybe she will post it on her personal channel). 😊
I'm currently in the fourth trimester with my daughter and it's tough. Seeing how you guys came through, gives me hope that we can make it through too. You guys are awesome 😊. Question for Maya - what stroller are you using currently? I need one that's great for snow and walks. Thank you 😊
That little roaming hand while she’s nursing 🥺🥺🥺 I miss it! 😭 🤍
Hmmm she looks exactly like Maya-with blue eyes and light skin-she’s pretty like her mommy 😍
For homeschooling, there are always co-ops. These are programs of classes with other other homeschooled kids. I for example took gym, Spanish and English with class sizes of 7-18. Sometimes the parents would hire a teacher and sometimes they would assign one parent to. I loved it. Co-op days would either be once or twice a week and be over by lunch. We would go out to eat together after and just play. On top of that we had the regular extra curricular activities.I was only homeschooled during middle school and although I complained then I could honestly say that after that I realized how much time was wasted in both oublic and private school. And I went to GOOD schools. I also knew a ton of kids who would be double enrolled for certain classes in public school and then the older kids would attend a few collegiate classes if they wanted….there’s a ton of options 🤷🏾♀️
Baby suga looks like you don’t let these ppl fool you she is a perfect mix of the both of you but I can definitely see you mama .
Max shares lovely vision of bases in Sweden, US, Canada...and then 7:13 😂😂
I agree Maya! I left Canada for Mexico 🇲🇽 Canada has changed 😪
Physically I see Maya the most. The eyes and nose! Idk about her personality but I know she finna be dope!
I am borderline obsessed with you guys (not in a weird way) but Maya I’ve been following you since way back when, when I watch these videos I feel like I’m a part of the fam and I look forward to one day renting out your Airbnb because I also am “obsessed” with Sweden lol love you guys God continually bless you 💞
I think Saga looks like both of you. And I totally agree about Canada, haha.
