I think you bring up a lot of good points about life and therapy, Bri. What I've learned is that as I get older (i'm 32), life gets harder. Things happen - people get sick, we lose loved ones, daily stressors get us down but we also have to make sure we are taking care of ourselves and relationships while all of this is happening. It's easy to not prioritize our relationships but if we let everything take ahold of us, we can lose those relationships. Thanks for bringing this to our attention! 😀
Thank you for being so open about the marriage counseling. This year will be 15 years of marriage and 17 spent with my husband. Our children are teen and pre teen and we've found that although we have more time now, that habit of not having time is deeply rooted. We've set some bad habits of putting so many things ahead of us. Also that whole thing about not setting boundaries, girl you really hit home there. Please keep sharing what you can. ❤ You are not alone! We are doing this, and focusing on us. Self care is happening, as well as relationship care.
I am always so amazed by how hard you work Brianna! You really are a super mom, always trying to do whats best for your kiddos. You are such a great role model, and so strong! We are all rooting for you! xo
I love how open and transparent you are on your platform! Bri you are doing amazing and your such an incredible mom love you! And Just got my new boss mom cup!
It’s so brave of you to share. It’s so easy to see someone on TH-cam and think everything is perfect. Marriage is challenging and no one’s is perfect. Thank you for being vulnerable.
I’m so proud of you for talking about couples therapy it’s really nice that your honest with that when a lot of the time social media TH-cam etc leads you to think everything’s perfect for people you see but this reminds me that’s not always true and that is so relatable and inspiring. Even if there’s is not a major problem in a relationship it is so helpful and healthy to do therapy to be stronger and even more there for each other! So so wonderful. Thank you! My kids are 5 and 1 and I hear you on the season of life with little ones. I’m a sahm and it’s like constant life maintenance sometimes cleaning cooking cleaning again etc and it’s hard to take time to hear one another and to not be too tired or too busy to focus on each other.
Brianna K I’ve been seeing a therapist for one year now and it was the best gift I could have given myself it is so helpful and I can’t think of anyone who wouldn’t benefit from it I’m so glad your finding yours helpful and now with your husband too I’m sure it will bring you even closer, my husband and I just had our 10 year wedding anniversary and it so good to do what you are doing to keep connecting through life’s changes and growing! And yes not just complaining about being tired or how work is or only talking about the kids, it’s tough! You are so uplifting to watch though don’t forget how much you being you helps others your amazing❤️
Aah...Brianna K, thank you so much for sharing and for being open and honest with us your viewers. You did so with wisdom and grace. You have such a beautiful, adorable family and I just love the way you look after your home and your children and your lovely husband. Inspite of the challenges, which life has been throwing your way. May God bless you and your beloved family circle and empower you all as you continue to journey through life. 🤗🙏👍😘💖💕
Brianna I will forever say this you are my favorite boss mom! You are my inspiration, you have taught me so many life lessons through marriage/kids & mainly what a woman stand for 💕 love this channel so much! I can relate so much! Im 25 but I look up to you so much. Xoxo 😘
No relationship is perfect and with kids it gets tough along with Medical issues. Bri I’m praying for you my sister. Couples therapy is a blessing as God wants us to cast our cares and not hold it all in; likewise for your husband and want he is experiencing. Live life and make you happy; don’t worry about what outsiders think. Btw I can relate
Really enjoyed watching your day in the life vlog. Omg your kiddos are beyond adorable! Was dying with the kisses before presley’s nap - too sweet. Thanks for sharing about your therapy. You inspire many of us mamas here. Thank you!!
Bri, whatever issues you and Adam have are just small bumps in the road! You both seem level headed,strong and committed to your family. You're both putting in the work and you will have an awesome marriage to show for it💜❤
That's great that you and Adam are doing couple's therapy. We've been going regularly for several years, and it makes a huge difference for us! I really appreciate it when TH-camrs talk about therapy (couple's or individual), because it helps normalize it, which is so badly needed!
Brianna, this brought me to tears. I find myself agreeing with so much of what you are saying here. My husband and I have been going through therapy as well and I also have not always been good a setting boundaries in friendships and relationships even those with close family or friends. It sounds like you have a great therapist, I am glad you guys are talking to someone. It helps so much! Prayers!!!
your very sweet and yes kids, work stress and the past disappointments can put alot of strain on a marriage. I dont think councelling is necessarily bad but I do think it should only be used for a short while. My experiences, it only keeps rehashing and bringing up past hurts and wrongs and people can not put the past behind them, forgive and forget. It takes alot of hard work to keep a marriage healthy and together. I think discussing your conerns with your partner is whats needed and hopefully your partner can take it on board and try to see these things through your eyes and vice versa. Being kind, caring and nurturing to eachother sometimes goes to the wayside as we are all tired, stressed and disconnected at times. We all go through rough patches in a relationship but as my father told me, 'be swift to forgive and forget' has helped me tremendously in my marriage. Not dwell on the little things that dont matter. Love is the most important thing in life and so focusing on their strengths and good points instead of their failings is so important. Also, somethings you want your partner to understand will sometimes just take time, so we need to be patient and loving in the meantime. You are a strong, beautiful and smart women. Never forget that.
I love how positive you are and I am so glad to have found you. I have had the worst struggle with depression (last year mainly- worst year of my life) and the second I made the choice to start TH-cam was the second that I started feeling like I was worthy of something. I owe a lot of thanks to you. You’ve truly shown me that life is tough, but to never give up. 💗
I’m 2 years into my marriage and almost 9 years together and there have been SO many ups and downs. I’m the type to keep my feelings to myself and build up anger! So I hear ya! Proud of you for taking steps to improve the foundation of your family 💗
My daughters name is presley she’s ten months. The clips of your daughter reminds me so much of her. That little moment you had before nap time makes me so excited for the future. Love your videos. You’re truly an inspirational mom.
Bri, I just want to give you a hug! I so related to everything you were saying. Being a stay at home mom is so tough. Mostly in emotional ways. You feel empty, and mommy guilt endlessly. There's so much to do, but it's all sort of "meaningless". It's hard to work jobs too, but being a stay at home mom is hard in its on right. Thanks for sharing and being so open, because it's all real life, and so relatable!
I love watching your videos. I always feel like I'm sitting down and hanging out with a fabulous friend. Keep rocking girl and remember to give yourself grace through the seasons of life. Sending 💗
Real mom life! Again- thank you so much for being so open on everything. Showing real life hurdles and how you handle them is so inspiring. Keep being you!
I love the advice you give! I’m the same way as you and i realize I have to stand up for myself in a way more.and talk stuff out with my hubby Instead of letting stuff slide. God bless you guys! Your a very strong woman.
Thanks for being so honest! My husband and I are in the same boat with two small kiddos and trying to figure out how to juggle it all and keep up a relationship on top of it all. It’s nice to hear that we are not alone ❤️
Thank you so much for sharing! This phase in life is definitely a challenge when it comes to a relationship to your spouse. I have a 9 month old, and I am still adjusting to this new role, and the "shift" it has put on my relationship with my husband. It is something that I'm currently struggling with... It is SO easy to become complacent and forget to pour into your marriage. Being proactive in your marriage is the best thing you can do for you and your kids!
So, I cried with tears of pure joy watching you put the down for a nap! Such a sweet moment, and yet bitter sweet. My youngest just turned 21😞. Cherish every moment, it all goes so quick! And as far as relationships, today is our 27th anniversary....and we both forgot, lol! It doesn't matter, every day is an anniversary! We are still here, and " The kid's are all right"!
I’m new to your channel. I’m not in your stage of life anymore. In fact, next fall my youngest will be leaving for college! But watching your videos is comforting and honestly brings me right back to that time in my life when my days were like yours. Super busy!! I was drawn to how real you seemed and seeing this video when you shared that you’re in couples counseling, completely reinforced that! My husband and I have struggled through the years and still continue to do so sometimes. I so appreciate your honesty and realness. I think you will help a lot of women. Thank you!❤️
Love the way you are so open to talk about family. You are a role model to me. I am a mom of a 3 yo and I am a physician and work at home as well and you really inspired me . Just want to say THANK YOU!!
I heard of this ideal to do everyweek with your husband. Its called roses and thorns. You ask the opposite partner what was there rose of the week = the peek of the week. & then thorn what was your low of the week. Also. Ask 3 questions to eachother 1. What is one specific way i can help you this week? 2.is there any unconfest sin, conflict or hurt and that we need to resolve and/or seek forgiveness for? 3.what is a dream, craving or desire that has been on the forefront of your mind? 4.how can i pray for you this week? This will build so much communication and keep both on the same page it also builds great teamwork...like you said where you keep stuff in i think this would be perfect for you and hubby. Give it a go! (make sure your consistent with it)
Couples therapy has helped my husband and i so much. Just connecting with each other, compromise, and just empathizing with each other. Helping us both to understand how different we are and ways to learn how to accept it. We have two young kiddos as well and it’s so hard to make time for everything. Sessions are rough and i cry most times but it really has helped us. Good luck!❤️
Bri, you are so inspirational. Im 24 and a mom to two year old twins, and some days are rough!! I love how real and honest you are, how open you are with therapy. ❤🙏
Thank you so much for taking about your marriage issues 💕 so relatable! I’ve barely ever seen youtubers do that and it’s easy to compare your relationship when you see no one else having these issues. But really everyone has issues!
@@BriannaK Thank you too for taking time replying to our comments despite of your busy or should I say productive schedule. God bless you and your family! Truly, you are an inspiration ! :)
I recently started therapy and I reccomend it for everyone I think it's very healthy and helpful ☺ I love how real you are girl it's so refreshing and I'm enjoying your content! 💓 how old are your kiddos? I have a 16 month, 5 month and then 9 and 7 year old (our girls are not with us all the time) and life is so hectic! I work full time and God bless my Momma for caring for my boys during the day and helping so much I don't know if I would've made it without her and my hubby 💞
Thanks for sharing Brianna , as a mother of three little kids I find life can get very scary some days. Marriage for me has been so hard ever since they were born, we have had our ups and downs but this beautiful family is far more important than a few stupid disagreements.As a stay at home mom I feel so identified with you, nobody seems to care about our job we just do what needs to be done with no patting on our backs but we have the best customers we could imagine. Love from Spain
You are so open about your life, your feeling. You explained what I think most profectionist are like. I know that myself that is how I have been. Just maybe if I had realized what I was holding in my marriage would of lasted. My best to you and Adam. You are a great couple, looking in on part of your life. You have a lot going for you. Thanks once again for sharing.
So much respect for you for sharing your struggles as well as things that are going well...it really helps me and I'm sure others too. I find you so relatable when you share your difficulties too, as it helps me to know I'm not alone in mine. So much love for you and your family x x
You are so insprining and motiving. Thank you for sharing, it is encouraging to know other couples have things to work on, especially after having children. My dad has MS also, it is a devastating and cruel disease. Sending lots of love and prayers to you and your family. You are one strong mama!
Thank you for being open and vulnerable about starting couples therapy. I find individual therapy completely invaluable, so I'm curious to hear anything you're willing to share about couples. You and P kissing was the cutest thing in this video. 😍
You’re such an inspirational person & so amazing. ❤️ I really like all the advice you give. You inspire everyone who watches you one way or another. You motivate me to keep moving forward. Thank you so much. You have a beautiful family. You and your husband are both so lucky to have each other.
Oh Bri. You are so brave sharing your therapy experiences on here! I feel like you spoke straight to me. 💕 I had the same issue when I was younger, too. I had/have a hard time with self care and boundaries for myself. Thanks for sharing!! 💕
Always sending love and prayers to your family! The moment with you and Presley was so precious! Couples therapy is definitely something we need to do as well! Having kids definitely has put our relationship on the back burner! Thanks for talking about it!
Thank you for sharing this! And thank you for sharing about going to couple's therapy. I feel like that would be so good for so many couples but its like frowned upon or looked down on. I love that you're always so open with your subscribers!
I really hope you talk more about your marriage. I know it would help me and I’m sure many others. Thanks for being so open about this. Not many people are brave enough to do that.
Brianna you are doing a great job. Raising kids is so hard. I also have my hard days. My girls are 11 and 9 then I have a 19 month old son. Boy oh boy did I forget how hard it is to have a little one, let alone he doesn’t sleep through the night. Hang in there, this season shall pass and another one will come. Thanks for your videos I really enjoy them, you are such a breathe of fresh air and I love how real you are.
Being a good role model for your kids is indeed important. No relationship is always perfect and it always has it's ups and downs. Specially with kids it can be challenging. I'm sure you'll be alright ❤️❤️❤️!
It hit home when you were talking about setting boundaries early in a relationship and being open and honest. Im dealing with the affects of having no boundaries in my relationship and finally setting them. Its definately not easy.
Bri, thank you for being honest about your marriage. No one talks about the hardships and struggles about marriage and it makes everyone feel alone. I also am in a hard season with my husband and it’s difficult! I also am a people pleaser and find it extremely hard to stand up for myself.
Thank you for touching on this subject. Marriage can be hard sometimes and it’s so healthy to talk about this. We all need help at times and it’s totally normal. Thank you for empowering others through your journey. I know you have empowered and inspired me many times. :) 💗
Great video. I love to see how other stay at home mommy’s are doing it and its safe to say you are for sure a “boss mom” Thanks for letting us have a look into your life and being so transparent. 😘
I feel like this is the real stuff that not many people share. My husband and I are in the same boat. Two small kids and life takes a toll on you and your relationship. If you guys do end up sharing your experiences I think it could be very helpful!!
You are such a good mommy and all around person. I love you and your Channel so much. I think we all can use a little help now and then. So proud of you. Hope your dad is ok we haven't see him in awhile. Prayers for all my dear!!
Thank you for sharing your life with us! I can relate to you so much ❤️ i love your little family and I’ll be praying for your marriage 😇 God bless you guys !
❤️❤️ marriage isn’t meant to be easy. You definitely are being very open with all of this and that will help. You guys just stay at it and things will start to be better! You’re doing such a wonderful job.
I love these stay at home mom routines. Thank you for being so open and honest about your life. I have a two year old son. He is a handful. My hubby and I don’t get a lot of time off and we are always fighting. Going to check out the therapy link.
Thank you! This means a lot to me. There’s hope. My hubby and I have a great marriage but like you said in one of your vlogs sometimes there’s some bad seasons. It’s tough not having alone time.
Marriage is hard. If you don’t work to maintain it, it will fall apart. We do oil changes and tune ups on our cars to make sure they don’t break down - I look at couples therapy as maintenance to ensure my marriage is in tip top shape.
Omg Bri, the part where you and Presley are giving each other kisses just melted my heart! So happy you and Adam decided to go to therapy together. God bless you guys & hope all is well! xoxo
I LOVE that you opened up about couples therapy. I think most people are "ashamed" or "embarrassed" to admit that their marriage isn't perfect or has rough patches, especially those with a large platform.. but it's just REAL LIFE. Couples therapy isn't just for a marriage that is crumbling apart and on the verge of divorce, it's to be equipped when the hard times DO come.. because they will come. Thanks mama. Love the realness. Maybe a marriage series on the second channel someday?!
Loved this. This week my husband and I have been talking about making time for us. We have a 3 year old boy and 7 month old baby boy. Things are super hectic and tiring duringlg the week so we have decided to make atleast 2 dates a months. It is very necessary to keep that spark going on. Thanks for sharing your life with all of us.
Wow thanks so much for sharing this with us. And that is some sage relationship advice. Boundaries are important and they should be respected no matter what. I hope you get everything you need out of your couples’ therapy 💕 You’re doing a great job and it shows.
Bri, I am glad you are in couples therapy. I see how very hard you work to keep everything going in you family. It’s necessary to take up slack for our spouse at times, but not all the time. The more they see you can keep it going alone, over time they will let you and resentment grows, respect is lost. I hope as your husband gets better he will help you more, be more of a teammate.
Love you videos Brianna! You work so hard for your family ☺️ Yes having small children is demanding yet rewarding! Keep up the great job!💕☺️😍❤️❤️💕❤️💕❤️
Landon is hilarious his personality is so big ! He really is such an amazing little boy . Can't wait to see how Presley will be at his age . Presley is getting so big I feel like I started watching when Landon was her age now .
Love watching your videos! I work in HR for a college here in Canada and so I really resinated with your videos when you were working your HR role. I was struggling to find that working (outside of home) mom balance at the time and so appreciated your realness and organization! Lol motivated me to get my stuff together. I’m now on mat leave with my second baby and living the stay at home/work at home mom life now too for the next year. Love the positivity and look forward to your videos each time 😊
Just wanted to share this verse with you. Matthew 6: 33 But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well. Seek God through prayer, reading, fasting, worship and God will come through for you and your marriage. Whatever pains you both are having God can heal that. This is why he commands us to seek him and he will supply our needs (emotional or physical or spiritual etc). Seek him first and you will find all the healing you are searching for through counselors.
Here is some additional scripture that says to cast burdens on him. He is there to answer your prayer. But you got to ask for that healing! Proverbs 12:25 Anxiety in a man's heart weighs him down, but a good word makes him glad. 1 Peter 5:7 Cast all your anxiety on him because he cares for you. Philippians 4:6-7 do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. God always convicts us of our own personal behaviors and how we treat others. We have to heal within ourselves. As the scripture says look at the plank in your own eye. We all have burdens that need to be dealt with and we need to hold ourselves accountable and stop blaming others for their sin. I am guilty of this and have recently been learning to deal with my problems first. Always. Can’t blame my husband or friends or family for my own insecurities and issues. That’s why I pray for Healing and cast my burdens on God. He will work it all out for our good. Hope this helps.
Amen! At the end of the day, God is a healer of all things. I have seen many of youtubers say so much of stuff, but......honestly don't mention anything about seeking God through their trials and tribulations. As believers our struggles should bring us closer to Christ......If infact we are diligently seeking God. The bible tells us. God will not put more on us than we can bare. Thank you for pointing her right to Christ. Have a blessed day!
Both Landon & Presley helping you take the clothes out of the basket was hilarious. I love Landons cars decor in his room. Adam singing to Presley was super cute. Those new chairs are pretty. Great vlog as always. Thanks for sharing with us!
Hi Brianna, I’m so happy that y’all are talking with someone. That’s very smart! I will definitely be praying 🙏🏻 for you both. Presley has the cutest personality!! Her going down the stairs on her butt is so adorable! Hope you have a wonderful and blessed day!
Omg that was my favorite. I love it. Life is so short and honesty God knew wanted you needed. Love from our babies at the right time eases anything you are going through. You remind of myself and how busy you are except my husband is a minister over a congregation. I’m praying for you Bri.
Unexpectedly crying on that. My heart hurts for Adam so much. After my car accident the drs visits have become a full time job and taken on another life of their own and it's awful for my husband as well...and the lack of Drs suck. My accident was in June and I don't see a surgeon till March...it's a nightmare. But also your part about the boundaries with even friends...just speaking to my soul girl...to👏my👏soul
Also I recommended the mini little tikes trampoline on the video you made about needing ideas for helping Landon getting energy out especially in winter! It has been so helpful with my two kiddos through the cold and snowy winters here in New England! So glad it has helped!!❤️❤️❤️
Iv been considering couples therapy for my husband and myself. We have so much going on between all the kids and we both work 40+hrs a week. We get about an hr at night to ourselves and most of the time he’s headed to bed causes he gets up an hr before me. I know he’s going through a lot with his custody battle and it’s pulling us apart. That what we fight about. We’ve been together almost 3 years and married for 6months. Thank you for being open it helps. Us moms have to stick together❤️
Hey Brianna love you're the super boss at everything.... u can tackle any task n makes it seems so easy that it motivates me to tackle anything I keep putting off. Keep up the good work n thank u most of all for sharing so much motivation n advice for all of us stay at home mammas. Lots of love to u and your family from the Somar Family
I think you bring up a lot of good points about life and therapy, Bri. What I've learned is that as I get older (i'm 32), life gets harder.

I agree!! I can be very tough to deal with it all!! I'm a subbie on ur channel also lol
Jamie's Journey totally agree 💗iv lost people close to me and it makes u see just how precious LIFE is.its a gift!
Thank you for being so open about the marriage counseling. This year will be 15 years of marriage and 17 spent with my husband.

I am always so amazed by how hard you work Brianna! You really are a super mom, always trying to do whats best for your kiddos. You are such a great role model, and so strong! We are all rooting for you! xo
She's kicking butt! :)
That's so true!
I love how open and transparent you are on your platform! Bri you are doing amazing and your such an incredible mom love you! And Just got my new boss mom cup!
I was thinking the same! So transparent and that makes watching so much more relatable.
It’s so brave of you to share. It’s so easy to see someone on TH-cam and think everything is perfect. Marriage is challenging and no one’s is perfect. Thank you for being vulnerable.

I just melted when she put her daughter down to sleep. Soooo sweet!
Omg Presley when you were putting her down for a nap! Kissing you and touching your face!!! How sweet!!!
It's nice to see him in the vlogs again. It was so precious when he was holding Presley.
No relationship is perfect and with kids it gets tough along with Medical issues. Bri I’m praying for you my sister.

I watch all your videos and this old one popped up and makes me remember why I love watching you! You’re amazing and inspiring you really are!

Kudos to you for showing the realness. Most youtubers will not show that side. You are definitely going to help lots of people.
I love watching your videos. I always feel like I'm sitting down and hanging out with a fabulous friend. Keep rocking girl and remember to give yourself grace through the seasons of life. Sending 💗
Real mom life!
Again- thank you so much for being so open on everything. Showing real life hurdles and how you handle them is so inspiring. Keep being you!
I love the advice you give! I’m the same way as you and i realize I have to stand up for myself in a way more.and talk stuff out with my hubby Instead of letting stuff slide. God bless you guys! Your a very strong woman.
Thanks for being so honest! My husband and I are in the same boat with two small kiddos and trying to figure out how to juggle it all and keep up a relationship on top of it all. It’s nice to hear that we are not alone ❤️
Thank you so much for sharing! This phase in life is definitely a challenge when it comes to a relationship to your spouse. I have a 9 month old, and I am still adjusting to this new role, and the "shift" it has put on my relationship with my husband. It is something that I'm currently struggling with... It is SO easy to become complacent and forget to pour into your marriage. Being proactive in your marriage is the best thing you can do for you and your kids!
So, I cried with tears of pure joy watching you put the down for a nap! Such a sweet moment, and yet bitter sweet. My youngest just turned 21😞. Cherish every moment, it all goes so quick! And as far as relationships, today is our 27th anniversary....and we both forgot, lol! It doesn't matter, every day is an anniversary! We are still here, and " The kid's are all right"!
I’m new to your channel. I’m not in your stage of life anymore. In fact, next fall my youngest will be leaving for college! But watching your videos is comforting and honestly brings me right back to that time in my life when my days were like yours. Super busy!! I was drawn to how real you seemed and seeing this video when you shared that you’re in couples counseling, completely reinforced that! My husband and I have struggled through the years and still continue to do so sometimes. I so appreciate your honesty and realness. I think you will help a lot of women. Thank you!❤️
Love the way you are so open to talk about family. You are a role model to me. I am a mom of a 3 yo and I am a physician and work at home as well and you really inspired me . Just want to say THANK YOU!!
Love your vlogs and how open and transparent you are about things going on in your life! 😘
I heard of this ideal to do everyweek with your husband.
Its called roses and thorns.
You ask the opposite partner what was there rose of the week = the peek of the week. & then thorn what was your low of the week.
Also. Ask 3 questions to eachother
1. What is one specific way i can help you this week?
2.is there any unconfest sin, conflict or hurt and that we need to resolve and/or seek forgiveness for?
3.what is a dream, craving or desire that has been on the forefront of your mind?
4.how can i pray for you this week?
This will build so much communication and keep both on the same page it also builds great teamwork...like you said where you keep stuff in i think this would be perfect for you and hubby. Give it a go! (make sure your consistent with it)
Couples therapy has helped my husband and i so much. Just connecting with each other, compromise, and just empathizing with each other. Helping us both to understand how different we are and ways to learn how to accept it. We have two young kiddos as well and it’s so hard to make time for everything. Sessions are rough and i cry most times but it really has helped us. Good luck!❤️
So much of this video hit home, especially on a hard SAHM day. Thank you for sharing your day!
Bri, you are so inspirational. Im 24 and a mom to two year old twins, and some days are rough!! I love how real and honest you are, how open you are with therapy. ❤🙏
Thank you so much for taking about your marriage issues 💕 so relatable! I’ve barely ever seen youtubers do that and it’s easy to compare your relationship when you see no one else having these issues. But really everyone has issues!
Such a raw and motivating video to watch. Rise and shine Presley!
@@BriannaK Thank you too for taking time replying to our comments despite of your busy or should I say productive schedule. God bless you and your family! Truly, you are an inspiration ! :)
I,love how open and honest you are!
I love coming back to your channel because you inspire me Brianna ❤️
I recently started therapy and I reccomend it for everyone I think it's very healthy and helpful ☺ I love how real you are girl it's so refreshing and I'm enjoying your content! 💓 how old are your kiddos? I have a 16 month, 5 month and then 9 and 7 year old (our girls are not with us all the time) and life is so hectic! I work full time and God bless my Momma for caring for my boys during the day and helping so much I don't know if I would've made it without her and my hubby 💞
Thanks for sharing Brianna , as a mother of three little kids I find life can get very scary some days. Marriage for me has been so hard ever since they were born, we have had our ups and downs but this beautiful family is far more important than a few stupid disagreements.As a stay at home mom I feel so identified with you, nobody seems to care about our job we just do what needs to be done with no patting on our backs but we have the best customers we could imagine. Love from Spain
I love you’re channel so soooo much! I have to watch it everyday your very inspiring❤️❤️❤️
You are so open about your life, your feeling. You explained what I think most profectionist are like. I know that myself that is how I have been. Just maybe if I had realized what I was holding in my marriage would of lasted. My best to you and Adam. You are a great couple, looking in on part of your life. You have a lot going for you. Thanks once again for sharing.
So much respect for you for sharing your struggles as well as things that are going well...it really helps me and I'm sure others too. I find you so relatable when you share your difficulties too, as it helps me to know I'm not alone in mine. So much love for you and your family x x
You are so insprining and motiving. Thank you for sharing, it is encouraging to know other couples have things to work on, especially after having children. My dad has MS also, it is a devastating and cruel disease. Sending lots of love and prayers to you and your family. You are one strong mama!
Kudos to you and Adam for working on your marriage with counseling. Healthy parents equal healthy children. God Bless your sweet family.🙏🏻🙌🏻
Thank you for being open and vulnerable about starting couples therapy. I find individual therapy completely invaluable, so I'm curious to hear anything you're willing to share about couples. You and P kissing was the cutest thing in this video. 😍
Yay a day in the life!! Love your vlogs, especially the day to day vlogs of life with toddlers ♥️💖
You’re such an inspirational person & so amazing. ❤️ I really like all the advice you give. You inspire everyone who watches you one way or another. You motivate me to keep moving forward. Thank you so much. You have a beautiful family. You and your husband are both so lucky to have each other.
Oh Bri. You are so brave sharing your therapy experiences on here! I feel like you spoke straight to me. 💕 I had the same issue when I was younger, too. I had/have a hard time with self care and boundaries for myself. Thanks for sharing!! 💕
Always sending love and prayers to your family! The moment with you and Presley was so precious! Couples therapy is definitely something we need to do as well! Having kids definitely has put our relationship on the back burner! Thanks for talking about it!
Thank you for sharing this! And thank you for sharing about going to couple's therapy. I feel like that would be so good for so many couples but its like frowned upon or looked down on. I love that you're always so open with your subscribers!
I really hope you talk more about your marriage. I know it would help me and I’m sure many others. Thanks for being so open about this. Not many people are brave enough to do that.
Brianna you are doing a great job. Raising kids is so hard. I also have my hard days. My girls are 11 and 9 then I have a 19 month old son. Boy oh boy did I forget how hard it is to have a little one, let alone he doesn’t sleep through the night. Hang in there, this season shall pass and another one will come. Thanks for your videos I really enjoy them, you are such a breathe of fresh air and I love how real you are.
Being a good role model for your kids is indeed important. No relationship is always perfect and it always has it's ups and downs. Specially with kids it can be challenging. I'm sure you'll be alright ❤️❤️❤️!
It hit home when you were talking about setting boundaries early in a relationship and being open and honest. Im dealing with the affects of having no boundaries in my relationship and finally setting them. Its definately not easy.
Your such an amazing Mom! Your so blessed to have such a beautiful family! Thanks for sharing!
Bri, thank you for being honest about your marriage. No one talks about the hardships and struggles about marriage and it makes everyone feel alone. I also am in a hard season with my husband and it’s difficult!
I also am a people pleaser and find it extremely hard to stand up for myself.
Thank you for touching on this subject. Marriage can be hard sometimes and it’s so healthy to talk about this. We all need help at times and it’s totally normal. Thank you for empowering others through your journey. I know you have empowered and inspired me many times. :) 💗
Great video. I love to see how other stay at home mommy’s are doing it and its safe to say you are for sure a “boss mom” Thanks for letting us have a look into your life and being so transparent. 😘
The boundaries comment hit home, I hope you share more because I think a lot of us will relate
I feel like this is the real stuff that not many people share. My husband and I are in the same boat. Two small kids and life takes a toll on you and your relationship. If you guys do end up sharing your experiences I think it could be very helpful!!
That moment you had with Presley was just precious! Made me tear up honestly. I can’t wait to have more kids ♥️♥️♥️
You are such a good mommy and all around person. I love you and your Channel so much.
I think we all can use a little help now and then. So proud of you. Hope your dad is ok we haven't see him in awhile. Prayers for all my dear!!
Thank you for sharing your life with us! I can relate to you so much ❤️ i love your little family and I’ll be praying for your marriage 😇 God bless you guys !
❤️❤️ marriage isn’t meant to be easy. You definitely are being very open with all of this and that will help. You guys just stay at it and things will start to be better! You’re doing such a wonderful job.
You are amazing! Such an example to all of us working moms!
I loved this DITL vlog so much! I think these are my favorite videos that you do.
You are such an inspiration, even for those of us without little ones yet. Sending love and well wishes to you and your family.
Love the realness you show! Your kiddos are adorable and I love how your husband helps you with things... such an awesome video! Love it
I love these stay at home mom routines. Thank you for being so open and honest about your life. I have a two year old son. He is a handful. My hubby and I don’t get a lot of time off and we are always fighting. Going to check out the therapy link.
Thank you! This means a lot to me. There’s hope. My hubby and I have a great marriage but like you said in one of your vlogs sometimes there’s some bad seasons. It’s tough not having alone time.
Daughter is so adorable 💕🙏🏻🕊
Marriage is hard. If you don’t work to maintain it, it will fall apart.
We do oil changes and tune ups on our cars to make sure they don’t break down - I look at couples therapy as maintenance to ensure my marriage is in tip top shape.
I Love your Videos!! I am from Germany and it's so amazing to See that Mom live is everywhere the Same.
Omg Bri, the part where you and Presley are giving each other kisses just melted my heart! So happy you and Adam decided to go to therapy together. God bless you guys & hope all is well! xoxo
I LOVE that you opened up about couples therapy. I think most people are "ashamed" or "embarrassed" to admit that their marriage isn't perfect or has rough patches, especially those with a large platform.. but it's just REAL LIFE. Couples therapy isn't just for a marriage that is crumbling apart and on the verge of divorce, it's to be equipped when the hard times DO come.. because they will come. Thanks mama. Love the realness. Maybe a marriage series on the second channel someday?!
I always feel like I can conquer my day when I watch your videos. You’re like super woman!! ❤️
Love the realness of being a mom and a wife... Just trying to "balance" things. Love this vlog
Loved this. This week my husband and I have been talking about making time for us. We have a 3 year old boy and 7 month old baby boy. Things are super hectic and tiring duringlg the week so we have decided to make atleast 2 dates a months. It is very necessary to keep that spark going on. Thanks for sharing your life with all of us.
Wow thanks so much for sharing this with us. And that is some sage relationship advice. Boundaries are important and they should be respected no matter what. I hope you get everything you need out of your couples’ therapy 💕
You’re doing a great job and it shows.
Bri, I am glad you are in couples therapy. I see how very hard you work to keep everything going in you family. It’s necessary to take up slack for our spouse at times, but not all the time. The more they see you can keep it going alone, over time they will let you and resentment grows, respect is lost. I hope as your husband gets better he will help you more, be more of a teammate.
Ugh Blakey always throws my folded laundry all over the house too! LOL Love your realness and how open you are girl! Very inspiring! xo
This is too cute! We need Landon to vlog more often! He is such a natural!
Love you videos Brianna! You work so hard for your family ☺️ Yes having small children is demanding yet rewarding! Keep up the great job!💕☺️😍❤️❤️💕❤️💕❤️
Landon is hilarious his personality is so big ! He really is such an amazing little boy . Can't wait to see how Presley will be at his age . Presley is getting so big I feel like I started watching when Landon was her age now .
Thanks for being so candid on your relationship. ♥️
This video was so sweet and relatable. ❤️
Love watching your videos! I work in HR for a college here in Canada and so I really resinated with your videos when you were working your HR role. I was struggling to find that working (outside of home) mom balance at the time and so appreciated your realness and organization! Lol motivated me to get my stuff together. I’m now on mat leave with my second baby and living the stay at home/work at home mom life now too for the next year. Love the positivity and look forward to your videos each time 😊
Just wanted to share this verse with you. Matthew 6: 33 But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well.
Seek God through prayer, reading, fasting, worship and God will come through for you and your marriage. Whatever pains you both are having God can heal that. This is why he commands us to seek him and he will supply our needs (emotional or physical or spiritual etc). Seek him first and you will find all the healing you are searching for through counselors.
Here is some additional scripture that says to cast burdens on him. He is there to answer your prayer. But you got to ask for that healing! Proverbs 12:25 Anxiety in a man's heart weighs him down, but a good word makes him glad. 1 Peter 5:7 Cast all your anxiety on him because he cares for you. Philippians 4:6-7 do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God.
God always convicts us of our own personal behaviors and how we treat others. We have to heal within ourselves. As the scripture says look at the plank in your own eye. We all have burdens that need to be dealt with and we need to hold ourselves accountable and stop blaming others for their sin. I am guilty of this and have recently been learning to deal with my problems first. Always. Can’t blame my husband or friends or family for my own insecurities and issues. That’s why I pray for Healing and cast my burdens on God. He will work it all out for our good. Hope this helps.
Amen! At the end of the day, God is a healer of all things. I have seen many of youtubers say so much of stuff, but......honestly don't mention anything about seeking God through their trials and tribulations. As believers our struggles should bring us closer to Christ......If infact we are diligently seeking God. The bible tells us. God will not put more on us than we can bare. Thank you for pointing her right to Christ. Have a blessed day!
Both Landon & Presley helping you take the clothes out of the basket was hilarious. I love Landons cars decor in his room. Adam singing to Presley was super cute. Those new chairs are pretty. Great vlog as always. Thanks for sharing with us!
Thank you for just being real. ☺️
Hi Brianna, I’m so happy that y’all are talking with someone. That’s very smart! I will definitely be praying 🙏🏻 for you both.
Presley has the cutest personality!! Her going down the stairs on her butt is so adorable! Hope you have a wonderful and blessed day!
Looks like Presley was trying to kiss her way out of nap time...and almost won! Lol 💕
Omg that was my favorite. I love it. Life is so short and honesty God knew wanted you needed. Love from our babies at the right time eases anything you are going through. You remind of myself and how busy you are except my husband is a minister over a congregation. I’m praying for you Bri.
Lol omg I was thinking the same thing. She is so SMART!!!!!!!!! 🥰
Unexpectedly crying on that. My heart hurts for Adam so much. After my car accident the drs visits have become a full time job and taken on another life of their own and it's awful for my husband as well...and the lack of Drs suck. My accident was in June and I don't see a surgeon till March...it's a nightmare. But also your part about the boundaries with even friends...just speaking to my soul girl...to👏my👏soul
The messy bun is the crown of a Mom 🤣ain’t that the truth ! Love it
Make a shirt that says that 🙌 it would sell out 😂
Also I recommended the mini little tikes trampoline on the video you made about needing ideas for helping Landon getting energy out especially in winter! It has been so helpful with my two kiddos through the cold and snowy winters here in New England! So glad it has helped!!❤️❤️❤️
Iv been considering couples therapy for my husband and myself. We have so much going on between all the kids and we both work 40+hrs a week. We get about an hr at night to ourselves and most of the time he’s headed to bed causes he gets up an hr before me. I know he’s going through a lot with his custody battle and it’s pulling us apart. That what we fight about. We’ve been together almost 3 years and married for 6months.
Thank you for being open it helps. Us moms have to stick together❤️
I love how real you are and your advice is great!!
Hey Brianna love you're the super boss at everything.... u can tackle any task n makes it seems so easy that it motivates me to tackle anything I keep putting off. Keep up the good work n thank u most of all for sharing so much motivation n advice for all of us stay at home mammas. Lots of love to u and your family from the Somar Family
