Wow amazing! Your story is hopeful. I’m scared to do it again at 41 after two miscarriages.

When you get the chance to do some painting, please share. I would love to see them! I need to find the time to do that also.

You are such a wise and calm presence in my life. I know that sounds odd because we don’t know each other but your videos are such a blessing! And I truly believe it’s because you are so authentic and your videos never come across as forced, just so genuine and real. I would absolutely love to listen to your audio books with my children! If you find the time to do that, we would love it so much!

Lovely video. It’s terribly hard to get up at the moment. I and struggling this year more than normal

New here! Thank you for sharing such an honest and real message. It is very timely. It's after 2:30 a.m. where i live (Michigan, USA), and i had trouble sleeping. So, i got a bowl of granola and blueberries and turned on my youtube. Haha😅 Your video popped up on my feed, so i tapped it because the title grabbed my attention. 😊 I get seasonal depression usually around January, but I've been down since November because our beloved family cat of 18 years died three weeks ago 😔 and I've been dealing with some other tough things. I'm also a homeschool mom of six 😊 so i completely relate to you on being so busy with family life, homeschooling, etc. December is usually a tight month for us financially. For me, it's hard to find the energy to be festive because of that, but i try my best. I get overwhelmed with the media and socials pushing for spending more money and buying a lot of gifts. I also worry myself a lot about making sure my children have gifts for Christmas. I love slow living and do my best to practice it. I find so much joy in the simple things of life. Just like you, we've also been getting outside for nature walks and crafting. I plan on also doing baking with my kids. 😊 I found your video very relatable. I was nodding my head at everything you said. It felt like it was me sharing how I've been feeling! Your message lifted my spirits. Thank you for this encouraging reminder. It has helped me tremendously! 💜 I now feel encouraged to be gentle with myself and seek moments of joy. Thank you...thank you! 💜💜🙏🏽

Congratulations! I have 4 kids and my youngest is my rainbow baby who is 2.5 yrs old. I’m 45 😊 I had twins at 30 then 18 months later had another child. thanks for this video and sharing.

Loved the realness of this video. Thank you for sharing with us! 🙏

I am very selective with who I watch on TH-cam because as you say so much of it is not reality. I’m never going to bow down to the pressure put on us with all the masses of rubbish that people are buying and all the gift giving on the lead up to Christmas. We all need to learn how to have time doing nothing and slow our lives down and focus on what is really important. You are much more relatable than most family TH-camrs. My attitude to life changed 18 years ago when my youngest daughter was born with Down’s syndrome and she has taught me that life is made up of all the little achievements. My daughter has taught me how to find joy in the most simple of things.

I could listen to you talk all day, wise words. I love the wine bottle analogy. I too need to find some time for me, just a couple of hours a week. I find the darker months start effecting me from January, I think the lead up to Christmas helps me a lot as I love Christmas so much (even though im skint) that causes stress and pressure too, but I try to remember the kids will remember the games and the time spent rather than what they got. It my fault I do like to spoil them at Christmas. Come January im done with the rain and dark nights. But I am trying this year to enjoy and embrace this season, so time will tell come jan hahaha xx

I don't have a step counter but wow, I believe myself to be in the same boat. On my feet all day but not actually getting in as many steps as I should. I had been telling my husband I want a small mini compact treadmill of some sort because I feel the urge to just walk but there is no way I'll get up in the dark cold morning and walk the country roads. lol This was such a lovely lovely video. Very nourishing. We all need to slow down for our physical and mental health... which in turn benefits our spiritual health. It's totally true that the days just blow by if you are just slammed all day long. And yes, candle light and a few warm incandescent lights on at night really do help. Thank you for this video Alexandra, you've inspired me to pick up reading again at night. Let's honor ourselves as a reflection of the season around us, our souls need the slow down and reflective time.

Hi Alexandra, what a beautiful video! Thank you. Your voice is so soothing, if you do record audio books in the future, I would love to listen to them. Not related to this video, but can I ask if you’re still buying your milk from supermarkets? With all the worry about Bovaer, I’m trying to find the most affordable way of avoiding it. I’ve looked at local farms, but they understandably are a lot more expensive. I just wondered if perhaps you’d found a more reasonably priced alternative? Thanks x

What's your opinion on coconut aminos? Are they a good substitute for a soy sauce?

I really struggle with slowing down and the winter months so I needed to hear this because i know you are right and j should take this chance to slow down and savour moments more xxx from Victoria home educating the mad lads xxx I hear you about steps I was shocked i do so little steps around the house when I always feel like I'm doing something x

Hi Alexandra. I'm with you on the vlogmas thing. I just can't bring myself to put all that pressure on myself at a time of year where I'm already overwhelmed. Matt Haig is such a wonderful author. Slowing down is something that I've really been trying to do. I really struggle with the winter months. Getting outside definitely helps. We always do jigsaws and board games too. You are so right about filling your own cup. I always forget about that. I read every night too and it's a huge passion of mine which is why I'm adding the book stuff to my channel. I'm rubbish at being creative, but I'm trying to improve that. This is such a wonderful video.

Hi Alex, You are spot on when you mentioned about slowing down, especially in these winter months. It can be a soothing time if you acknowledge the nature around and feel what is happening naturally around you. I’m also going to get a good bottle of wine and some great cheese and slowly taste them. Thank you Alex. I feel better already xxx 😊. Oh, and Merry Christmas to you all xxxxxx

Your voice is so soothing, and I love your thoughts on living through the colder/darker months with grace. It's something I have historically struggled with also. Found you through searching for videos about pregnancy in one's 40s (I've had two in my 40s) and then discovered we've many things in common. It's so lovely to meet you.

Hi Alexandria, it's lovely to see you. I really appreciated you doing this vlog. I couldn't agree with you more on every point you made. I'm struggling and my Christmas and social battery is flat, and I appreciate your gentle reminder to go outside or do things that will fill our own cup. I've watched you for so many years now and I always come away feeling better having had a visit with you. Please know that you have help me today, as I'm sure you have helped many tired, struggling burned out mothers over the years. You and your husband are a credit to your beautiful children. XX

Remember to give yourself grace.

What a lovely video! I can relate to many of your thoughts, but I do not struggle during winter time. I love this time of year, even though it gets really dark here where I live during winter. The need of doing something creative is always present, and has always been. I sing in two choirs and a few singing groups, and I also play a lot of instruments. Now I have the time, and also more energy, when all my children have moved out. Now its time for crafting, I do that all year round but more before christmas. I am always giving gifts I have made myself.

I feel quite low at this time of year too, both in mood and energy. I definitely agree with you that being outside helps - getting some light and fresh air each day does make the world of difference. This run-up to Christmas is quite a struggle though. So much to do and organise and my body and mind just wants to slow down. As soon as the light goes in the late afternoon I really want to just curl up and relax or sleep but it isn’t possible! Carving out a bit of time for reading and creativity helps me too when I can.

I wish i could bring myself to spend more time in the sun during winter. I just get so cold. I fo out for any more than just getting the kids in the car ro fo somewhere i just freeze and am kinda more down after that. I do try to supplement some vitamins during winter. My kids don't mind going out but its just to play in the yard where i can watch them from the window. So i try to spend even more time outside during the other 3 seasons. Thank you for sharing

Is it possible to use mica powder instead of gel food coloring? Edit: I don’t have children, so I don’t have to worry about anyone eating them😂.

What kind of supplements did you take.?I’m 44 . I lost baby at 42 years old

Wow!❤

Hello, Very nice video, thumbs up from me and great food!👍🤩👩‍🍳😋 Nice greetings from Germany!🖖

I missed the dripping making because I was simplifying the fractions on the board 😂

Fancy seeing you here 😆 Looking forward to learning from you x

I run it through the KitchenAid meat grinder first ^_^

Congratulations!!! 🥳🎉 😂 How do you cope caring for 9 babies?

Do you have a recipe to share? Yummy

Nice to see the Union Flag cut into the pie.

Such a lovely woman ❤️

I absolutely love your channel and honesty. Doing this diet is rough this time of year. Hopefully, you'll come back after the holidays.

Yes! We do our best. We aren’t living the same way our parents raised us. It’s not a criticism, we all have to make our own decisions in how to live and news flash!! You can’t win on the internet butwe can win with loving our kids!

You are amazing! Really appreciate your content and admire your commitment to health. Such lucky kiddos! 👍🤩

I do buterrchino, i also add 7 or 8 grams of pure cacoa powde( not carnivore) but only about 2 grams of carbs for 7 grams of cacoa. It tastes like hot coco.
