Mom Life At Its Finest
United States
เข้าร่วมเมื่อ 23 มิ.ย. 2020
Let's face it: Mom life is messy!
I feel like that's a given now, but it honestly took me a long time to learn & accept that. Once I did, I came to EMBRACE the chaos of my crazy life as a busy working mom of three young boys.
Hi, I'm Amber! I call this channel "Mom Life At Its Finest" both sarcastically (because I'm often exasperated beyond belief) and encouragingly (to help us stay focused on what a BLESSING it is--no matter how crazy).
I sincerely hope that by sharing how "out of control" my life can seem, you will:
1) Feel instantly relieved that yours isn't so bad
2) Laugh at the unpredictable reality of life with littles
3) Know you're not alone if you, too, are struggling
4) Be motivated to step back & appreciate this all-too-fleeting time in our lives, and
5) Learn unconventional tips & hacks to make it all better

ADMITTING YOU NEED HELP IS HARD! We Can't Do It All By Ourselves, Mamas!
As busy moms, we're always trying to hold it together & stay strong for everyone else. Admitting we need helps is hard! But we can't do it all by ourselves, mamas. Thank goodness we have each other to lean on!
If you're a struggling mom, I see you! Some days/weeks/months/years are so hard, and one of the best things we can do is admit we're not okay, reach out to ask for help, and gratefully RECEIVE help when it's offered.
Let me know how I can help & encourage YOU!

5 QUICK, EASY, HEALTHY WEEKNIGHT MEALS FOR BUSY MOMS: What I Feed My Family For Dinner
I’m not trying to compare my life with yours trust me I’m not ,I have 3 kids . My house is very clean I have OCD so bad it’s insane i sometimes wish my house was cluttered a little bit,honestly I’d cry if my house was like this but in the same sense it’s a normal mom life .
I'm a bit late haha. Dad & Husband here the new born and toddler stage was extremely difficult for me mentally. And the way the inflation and everything is we decided to be one and done. Just a lot more manageable & just overall more fun. That way me & the wife can take turns. I take my hat off to the parents that decided to have more than 1. 👏🏼
What a creative recipe! It looks like a fritter. I will have to try! Thanks!
I admire how you focus on your kids. I appreciate how hard you're trying. 👍🏻🏆 Ignore the haters & do what works for you.
Your house isn't even that messy, i have 7 kids run 2 business and an artist i have limited room and it's impossible to keep clean.
Mama I’m so there some days! Eight months pregnant expecting our fourth. recovering from a cold. I only work about 11 hrs a week outside home but care for some my kiddos at home the other days and yes toddlers get into everything lol Whew! I can totally relate to the well they like cutting up paper and it’s good for them I am sitting down right now no kids home 🏡 need to clean but just taking a break because I’m tired! God bless! May the Lord empower us to keep our homes well but in a realistic way. We gotta be careful about aiming for unrealistic goals
This is such an encouraging video for moms, thank you so much for posting!
Thank you for your honesty..no fake "all is perfect" I got sick trying to be perfect....
Damn this was not helpful at all
Yup... just more sugar coated bs about how you aren't actually that miserable. You love this!
I’m debating on making a similar video. I was 1 of 6 and my house growing up was that mess… I’m struggling not to be like my mom. 💙 Annisa How are you now?
Thanks for sharing that! Some things have gotten better but others are still really crazy…I feel like that’s just life with young kids, especially as a working mom. If you’re interested, I’ve focused more on my main TH-cam channel where I share time management and productivity tips for busy women. Here’s a recent DITL video that includes a house tour so you can see the current state of things 🤣 th-cam.com/video/hqlCzg6b68c/w-d-xo.htmlsi=3LrJ8WqIRbzuoqPc
Hi sweetie, I have 7 children, 5 boys and 2 girls. My oldest is 20 and my youngest is 6. My boys are 20, 19, 18, 16 and 14, my girls are 9 and 6. I’m afraid to tell you that the older they get, the harder it gets. Physically gets easier, but emotionally and mentally gets so much harder. I am a true believer that the Lord gives you the Graces when you most need them.
Thank you for sharing that! I’m bracing for the pre-teen and teen years because I feel so unprepared for that. But yes, God will get us through! If you’re interested, I’ve turned my focus to my other channel where I share time management and productivity tips for busy moms: th-cam.com/users/solutionsforsimplicity
Post some new vids 😁
I was there. I am a mother of three boys, 6 years and younger. And yes, my house was messy just like yours. I also was a stay-at-home mom but still….I couldn’t keep up with the mess that comes with children. I was often depressed that my home was not 100% organized and clean. Eventually I came to realized that raising them, the mess was part of the territory. Now they are young adults and more or less moved out. My house is a bit organized and cleaner. I have become a full-time artist with commissions and being part of a gallery. Still it’s constantly picking up, and organizing…but in a different way. One thing I come to realized is to clean and organized as I go. Because as long as I am living there is always be constant “mess”. It’s easy to become overwhelmed with 35 years of stuffs from raising a family….trying to sort through photos and toys and books and clothes…but I take the projects as they come. I feel I don’t need to live an ideal home. Thank you for showing what the reality is in raising kids and keeping house.
😢thank u
Yes!
Thank God I'm not the only one who talks to their clothes when they fall!🤣
Love Love Love this video!!! Can't say enough about it! 😍
What a shame. You have a beautiful home and it’s sad how you all dont appreciate and respect it. You need to teach your children to clean. Part of having a home is loving your home. Have your children put own clothes away … why do you allow your family to be so lazy?? And if you didn’t buy so much stuff maybe you would have more money!! My husband would be appalled if I let our home get this way.
Please do tell how you keep your home spotless. I found this video completely relatable. As a working mother of 2 boys, it’s an absolute challenge keeping my home put when I get up at 6am get kids and their lunches ready for school, then to work..get home at 6:30pm and have to cook and feed everyone and then with the little energy left in me, attempt to clean my kitchen after the mess of dinner.. obviously this means that everything else is neglected… from kids rooms, my room, laundry, bathroom, dusting etc
Whew make sure your heart is in the right place. I agree we should care well for our home but the tone of your comment was…overboard! What ages are your kids?
@missrina4522 Many moms struggle with postpartum depression. If you've never had this, thank God and don't judge what you never experienced. Many moms are contemplating suicide. You don't know their mental state. SO PLEASE JUST BE KIND. please delete your mean comment
Good job you know the name of everything and where everything goes if you know we'll put it where everything belongs 🤪🤪
I hope you come back on YT. I just found your channel because I’m having a breakdown sobbing about my house being a mess no matter how much I clean. 😭😭😭 I relate to all of it! To the cut up paper on the floor, the rationalizing with yourself, etc. This is God’s work because it’s really helping my mental. I was feeling unhinged. 😭😭😭 The same monotonous, mundane, aggravating thing over and over. 😭
I never reply to people, but I was on the same search that you were just a mere 24 hours later. Just know that someone else feels your pain, and frustration at basically the same exact time!! Things will get better for all of us!! 💛
Aw, thank you @yellowdiamond1239. I set this channel aside to focus on my main one (th-cam.com/users/solutionsforsimplicity) but life sure hasn't gotten any cleaner or less complicated, lol. I now have FOUR kids and am still working full-time so it's hard to keep things anywhere as organized as I dream of. But thank you for your kind words--you're right: It's GOD's work and the mess is no reflection of how good of a person or mom we are. Someday we'll miss this, won't we?
Thank you, @indyawright5370. It feels so exasperating to work and clean and have nothing to "show" for it, but I'm sure learning to embrace the mess and chaos because they're simply signs my kids are healthy & happy. Come check me out on my main YT channel if you're interested: th-cam.com/users/solutionsforsimplicity. I had to set this mom life channel on the back-burner to keep up with the other one but am considering restarting it...would you be interested?
Hi!!!! I’m sorry to be MIA here. I’ve turned my focus to my main channel where I share time management and productivity tips for busy women. Would love to connect with you there! th-cam.com/users/solutionsforsimplicity
Mama you're doing amazing !!!!
Aw, thanks! Easy to feel like a failure but we know the "mess" is actually a good thing b/c it means our homes are full of love.
Thank you for this video! Needed this! ❣️🙏
Glad it was helpful! Wish things weren't so messy but they definitely always are--and I'm slowly but surely learning that that's ok!!! Come check me out on my other channel if you're interested: th-cam.com/users/solutionsforsimplicity
Wow I only have one and am at a point where am thinking of "never again"! He is aproaching 8 months and wen I say he is being difficult,everybody keeps telling me,"enjoy that moment" toddlers are the worst! Wen does it get better...wen will I ever get to sleep bath poop in peace? Or did I sign my life away without knowing it...am crying,I feel robbed.
You feel robbed? Never could understand mothers who feel like. I had 3 and kept a SPOTLESS house and never felt overwhelmed. Baby sitting now great grandkids, twins,at 75. Do tire out more easily but the joy they bring!

Amazing motivation! You have a lovely home. Thank you, new sub here. So happy I discovered your channel scrolling for some motivation. Thanks!
Hi, Amber! This is great!! I come to you as a fellow fan of BlessingsForTheBards.NystameechaFellow Foodie!! =)
I thought it was ONLYYYYYY me and dare I say I’m emotionally struggling I use to be such a better mom I’m killing myself trying each day THANK YOUUUUU for this video I needed to hear I wasn’t crazy
You are sooooo not alone! It all feels crazy and like it’ll last forever, but slowly things get better. It’s so true what they say about the days being long but the years short. Sending you strength! Right here roughing it out with you!
Backwards jammies...brilliant! 👏
So relatable!!!
Can you by Elf products in stores, or just online? I definitely want the moisturizer and eyeshadow stick.
Yes!!! I find them at Walmart and Target...also sometimes at Dollar Tree! They’re awesome products and so, so cheap!
And they last throughout the day?
Something has got to give!! Thank you for sharing this!
I relate to this so much!
LOL 3 year old hobbies 😭😂
How am I just realizing you have TWO channels!!!!
❤️
We all need help, you’re so right! Glad you can accept it. That’s not always easy
Oh my gosh you’re adorable! 😍😍😍
Do you find it hard to admit you need help?
Awww momma you got me in tears. I see you girl.
I love the love languages book too. Don’t beat yourself up momma. We ALL have those nights ❤️
You are so real! I just love it
It is sooo hard to give enough attention to each one!
Can anyone else relate? By when are YOU just spent after a long day of work & kids?
I'm 57 I had 6 kids their all grown now 5 boys 1 girl.what you can easily do is fall into the trap if trying to be super mum well that's impossible I rem been so tired not eating myself losing weight which ended up in me been sick because I could not relax your first priority is you get that cuppa when your feeding the baby get that rest when they are getting it instead I was running around like a headless chicken doing house work when they were asleep its impossible you will burn out get time for yourself with family babysitting get easy meals they cant be calorie counting ones because you dont have time for that you have kids set aside time for housework and washing and if the house is messy that's normal you have kids.dont do what I did and try to be super mum because things did not go well and looking back now I know I should have listened to the midwife your home is lived in get all the help you can because their will come a day when your kids grow up and their gone and what about you they will move out just like we did to our mums it's normal do not jump up for every little thing and remember start training their sleep times early on, as routine is the key.. tire them out but enjoy it I could write a book on it now if only I knew it then dont keep picking them up you will have no free time etc..mgt
It’s so true that babysitting is a breeze compared to having your own kids. And my house is way more messy than yours!
Thanks for helping me know there’s something to look forward to!
That sounds so tough, I’m sorry!
Hey girl! Love this video. I feel like it gets easier and harder in waves! I’ve got a 5 and 2 year old and it’s definitely gotten much easier in the last 6 months.
Waves...that's a great way to describe it! Sometimes they're crashing down so hard and other times you get a slight reprieve. 100%!!! Glad to hear it's getting easier for you!
What ages are YOUR kids? Have you noticed any particular ages or stages where things felt easier versus harder?
I think 2-3 is easier in terms of the boy understanding. Agreement nope. I think the first year is the hardest because they need so much and sleep so irregularly.
Woah, you are super inspiring! You talk the truth 🤎
That's my mission! I'm tired of seeing all these perfect moms out there...this is the reality for so many of us!
