    I'm only 21 so I don't exactly know much about parenting but honestly, from watching your vlogs, I think you are an AMAZING mum! Erin and Ethan are happy, SO well behaved and SO polite, you put cute notes in their lunch boxes, you do Valentine's gift bags and New Year's Eve tea parties for the them, you take the time to do things like make Disney pin boards with them...the list goes on! You are doing a fab job!

    Oh bab I love you, you’re awesome ! We all have those days with the guilt about being a bad mum. But the sheer fact you worry about it means you’re not 👍
    Just keep doing what you’re doing, you’re raising two awesome little people 😘 xx

    Emma you are an amazing mom. I love all your videos with your kids. You are always thinking about family and how you can make your family time more special. I admire how you just want your kids to be happy. You are awesome working mom. Love you Emma.

    You are not the worlds worst Mum! You do an amazing job; Erin and Ethan are both such happy children and you taking a little while to do some work won't affect them at all, especially as you work so hard to make time for them and make time to spend time as a family. It's those family times that they will remember, not the times where you sat at the computer. And if they ever do remember that, they aren't going to remember it in a negative way at all; they will look back at their Mum and be SO PROUD to have such a hard working Mum in their life. They'll understand what you do and what you give up in order to provide for them. Also absolutely love that you called your mum when you were feeling a bit down, makes me feel better for calling my mum and crying down the phone when I'm upset haha! Love your vlogs xx

    Don’t be so hard on yourself. My mom worked full time when my brother and I were young. We would be the last ones picked up every night from daycare after school around 6pm. In the summer we went to camp and stayed till 6pm. We both turned out fine and love and appreciate our mother and fathers hard work. It made the moments we had together even more special. You do what you can :)

    @KattMus2010 6 лет назад

    I love ivy and I've had mine for years🌿 put them further into the room away from the sun, the best is in a dark place. Wait until they are completely dry and then just give them a little water. Hope this helps 😊 love your videos!

    @sonyapoulton5948 6 лет назад

    You seem a great Mum. Your kids look happy and healthy. Don’t be so hard on yourself. I know Mum guilt is real. I experience it also and I have a teenager lol. You sometimes really remind me of myself. We are a similar age so I can relate to what you talk about. You seem to take things to heart and sometimes focus on negative (like I do myself lol). So how about, because you are so interactive with you supporters, maybe once a day read out a positive comment you have received on line. Something that stands out and makes you feel fuzzy and fluffy inside? Your kids will see an ambitious, loving mother so don’t be hard on yourself. You are great xx

    I'm sure you're doing a wonderful job Moming it up! From the clips we see your kids look happy and loved so don't worry! Sometimes it's hard when you're self-employed to keep a good balance, I know my Mom did. But now as a Mom myself I know all that work she did was to give us a good life.

    @ali-marylyons9883 6 лет назад +3

    I can’t believe how much I miss out on by not having social media feel absolutely gutted especially because I’m missing out on things you upload to it lol. Please do a P.O. box haul on the RUclips I couldn’t bare to miss out on that one. I read your little poem to the family the other day out to my friend via phone call we were both in fits of laughter especially about flushing everybody else’s 💩 which seems to be a regular occurrence in both our houses 😂.
    I have reached the age where nothing is any longer from ikea but they are from family members or charity shops. Not the step up from ikea that I expected 😂
    Loved this vlog, as usual you didn’t disappoint, they make w**ky Wednesday much more doable.

    Plant wise for ones which are lovely and green even when you forget about them for 10000 weeks is Aloe Vera they are such pretty plant and helpful for cuts bumps burns etc I use them for burns a lot being a chef. Refrain from watering plants which are in direct sunlight especially in the hot wether we are having now because it can burn the leaves and evaporate before reaching the roots 💚

  • @sophiejones415

    The wall mounted liquid toiletries seems to be the new money saving trend. I first saw it on a cruise about 6/7 years ago. It’s also probably more eco friendly. I just found a huge stash in my house that I had forgotten. If you know anyone with more miniatures than they could use, our local women’s shelter is going to get a bankers box full.

  • @kymberlishea2036
    @kymberlishea2036 6 лет назад

    About the plants. I find if I repot plants into a bigger pot with really good potting soil they do great. Also I water mine every other or every third day. The more u move them they don't like that. Good luck!

    @lauren_tew 6 лет назад +1

    All this sun might be a bit much for the ivy! Maybe it's freaking out ha! I work at Ikea and worked with the plants for YEARS and they should be quite easy to look after! However I'm $hit at keeping plants alive so feel your pain 😂 check the label on the plant and see if somethings either too much or too little 🙂

  • @staceyxx8495
    @staceyxx8495 6 лет назад

  • @lorraineb5991
    @lorraineb5991 6 лет назад

    Love Erin’s watermelon dress, where is it from? Also I know exactly what you mean by making the most of the kids when they are small but also remember it’s no bad thing for them to see that you work. You are their role model (as well as Steven) and you’re a bloody good one.

    Ivy likes to be slightly dry rather than overwatered and the pot needs to be able to drain into a saucer because it doesn’t like to be in wet soil for long periods. Apart from that they like plenty of light, that’s all I know really 😂 lovely video as per usual ❤️ xxx

    @gsviews96 6 лет назад

    Ivy is better outside really even if you let them out a few days a week. Also it’s been really hot atm and when you bring them home you need to give them a really good feed. At least twice a week. They aren’t kept very well to start with in ikea so not the best place to buy them.
    It’s not you. Don’t water when the sun it’s on them, just do first thing in the morning or last thing at night. And make sure you water the soil at the roots. Everything is so leafy this time of year sometimes water just doesn’t penetrate through to the roots. Xx

    I'm a mum to 3 girls, and a full time uni student. It's so hard to juggle everything, I feel criticised for not being able to attend as much as I can at school (and I do attend nearly everything) but if I don't get a decent career the children will never have the lives they deserve. The reality is my husband is in an average wage job and we really need two incomes! People feel judged if they don't work and judged if they do :( it's such a shame. We are all doing the best we can in different ways 🙌
