I don't have kids and don't plan on having them, but I'm still here watching this till the end because I just love how honest and real this is! Not to mention there's always some educational content!
Thank you so much! So glad you enjoyed the video 😊
Same! I’m a 50 year old childfree person and I absolutely loved this. ❤️
Same :) I’m 40, no kids but loved watching this 🥰.
Haha same ! I don't or want kids but I still enjoy watching tmi videos because it's interesting. I love how we are becoming more open as a society 🥰
Same❤️
In this episode, Abbey gets an adult bong AND wears a real bra. Brava!!! *golf clap*.
😂❤️
Adult bong, versus what? A children’s bong?
@@CRG_ children’s bong.. ice to cool the smoke?
When you shared about feeling like you were living for everyone but yourself, that really resonated with me. It’s one of the biggest things I had no clue I’d experience in this phase of my life. I’m expecting again and hoping I can make space for myself along the way. 💗
I totally understand. Wishing you luck on your journey ❤️
Thank you so much for discussing the changes in your mental health during weaning from breastfeeding! I thankfully never experienced ppd but the depression that came the week I weaned from breastfeeding was absolutely debilitating. When I finally read online that it was common for this to happen during the weaning process it made it so much more bearable but right away I literally thought I was going insane. It is so important to let mama's know that this is common and normal.
I totally understand! I hope you’re doing better now ❤️
Just dont wean until later. I weaned at 24 months and had ZERO issues emotionally while weaning. I tried to wean earlier and it made me emotionally upset. There is no reason to ignore your emotions, do what makes you happy😃
I just wanted to say I LOVED seeing this side of you! Obviously I subscribed for the food/nutrition content, but I wouldn’t mind seeing more videos like this! 💙😊
Aw thank you, I’m so glad you enjoyed it!
Abby you're so cute and funny, and it was really inspiring to see you glow more and more throughout this video. Self care is amazing and powerful! You deserved all of it and you're motivating me to do some kind things for myself as well. ♥
Aw thank you so much! So glad you enjoyed the video ❤️
I loveeeee this style of video from you!! And it’s so good to see your personality shine even more than usual - your hair looks lovely and those outfits really suit you 🥰 also this is super helpful because my friend has a baby around the similar age and I’ve not had children (32 and no relationship ever - it just doesn’t appeal to me personally - yay for trauma 😅 - but love spending time with her little one) so I have no idea what she’s going through and want to understand more and hadn’t even realised about the weaning and that causing different feelings - which is so obvious now you’ve spoken about it!! Really hope you’re doing well since this was posted and would love to see more of this style from you 🥰💗
I’m so glad you enjoyed the video and that it’s helpful for you ❤️ on my list to do more of these types of videos!
I prefer the vlogs too instead of the diet reviews.
You're just great, one of my role-models. Never stop doing what you love🤩
Same, my absolute role-model
Aw thank you so much ❤️
This is my favorite video to date! What an amazing idea to celebrate yourself and this significant transitional time in motherhood. I SO wish I’d thought of this because it is so sad/hard in some ways and also so freeing/exciting. Also- your haul was amazing- I want everything you bought (especially the pink sweatshirt). And yes to the cannabis exploration! I waited even longer before I dipped my toe and I’m actually not that into it but it was fun to finally give myself permission 🤪. Love your content!
Thank you so much! So glad you enjoyed the video 😊
Loved getting to share some of your more personal life with us. Thank you for being vulnerable and real! Very refreshing and enjoyable to watch. With love, -Ash
Thank you! So glad you enjoyed it 😊
It was so interesting getting to know a little bit more about your personal life, I feel more connected to you and makes me enjoy more your videos (which I would enjoy even without vlogs bcs u have AMAZING content). One of my favorite youtubers for sure! ❤️
Thank you so much ❤️ I’m so glad you enjoyed the video!
These are my favorite kinds or videos you make, getting a peek into your life feels so wholesome, fun, and oddly comforting.
I’m so glad you enjoy them!
I love seeing this abbey (: I love seeing the growth and the open mindedness when it comes to cannabis. I want to know your journey with cannabis. I recently started combining thc flower with CBD tintures and it’s been wonderful.
Thank you! So glad that’s been helpful for you
Can we just talk about how Abbey is the definition of a modern super woman? You’re an amazing mom, a kick ass business woman, and you dedicate your professional life to making health accessible for everyone ❤️❤️ (while keeping it real). I hope you’re celebrating you, every day 🥳✨ here for you and your new phase 🙌
Aw that’s so sweet!
I really appreciate your transparency. Your videos have helped me through so much, you deserve to glow up!!
I’m so glad my videos have been helpful for you! ❤️
Toddlers are the best. My baby turned one last week and the more I see the toddler coming out in him the more excited I am for the coming phase of Parenthood. I've just never been into babies but toddlers are my jam and I am so happy to get in that phase.
So cute!
The green dress was so pretty. The color suits you! Breastfeeding is tough! I nursed my first kiddo for about 15 months with no issues but, my second wouldn't latch, so I spent a whole year exclusively pumping. Talk about being glad it was coming to an end! I was a little sad but so relieved,
I hear you! My first I ep for 13 mo and it was hell
Gosh I just adore abbeys content. I love the more family stuff and I love the nutrition stuff and her honesty about her journey with pregnancy and everything and helping others feel less alone by sharing her experiences. Alsoooo her Editing and comedy is another level🤣💗
Aw thank you so much! I’m so glad you enjoy the videos ❤️
You got your groove back as you should, queen! Ugh you’re such a great content creator
You deserve the world 💕✨
Thank you so much ❤️
This is my favorite video you’ve made! Love the way it’s edited, love the energy throughout! And also, posted at the perfect time; I am just weaning my last nursing session now!
This one is close to my heart. Thank you for showing how you embraced this stage ending. It’s definitely one I’ve struggled with myself.
I’m glad the video was helpful!
I just LOVED this video! You explain your journey and emotions so well and I can relate to all that you’re going through. Watching this made me feel like you’re a distant, Canadian, dear friend during these lonely, COVID times. Thank you thank you!! ❤️ Sending you lots of love!
Thank you so much, I’m so glad you enjoyed the video! ❤️
Thank you for sharing! As I watch this I am literally breastfeeding my soon to be (Oct 16th) 1 year old son. He is my last baby and I have been pregnant/nursing/trying to get pregnant for OVER 10 YEARS! Wow, I just put that all together. No wonder I feel tired. LOL! We are starting to wean, basically little man loves food so doesn't seek to nurse as often. And I appreciate SO MUCH you mentioning mental health because I was noticing that I was experiencing some depressive episodes lately and it makes complete sense now, putting 2 and 2 together, that I am going through a natural hormone shift. I am very inspired to get a little GLOW UP myself when my little man is weaned! I am gonna start figuring out what I want that to look like and create a celebration of ending this phase versus the tremendous sadness I have been experiencing!
Thank you for sharing! I’m so glad you found this video helpful ❤️
I loved this video, I relate to the feeling of freedom that babies becoming older brings, it is a joy! Great to see you so happy, loved how random but honest and fun this was for you.
love it when you make vlogs and personal content! You're very interesting to watch!
Thank you, I’m glad you enjoy them!
It was so nice to see the ways you find to practice self love in this transitional period of your life. Your regular content has taught me sooo much about how to take care of yourself from a nutrition standpoint and I love to see you continuing to integrate self care in a variety of different aspects of life, whether it's dressing up, processing this new phase of motherhood, or just celebrating a good night's sleep! I have tremendous respect for how you remain a wonderful role model through all of the hard work you do and still keep improving. Much love!
Thank you so much! I’m so glad my videos are helpful for you 😊
I love these kinds of videos from you! Thank you for sharing your story. You are such an incredible, strong, and beautiful mama, dietician, and educator. Also, I love your new hair! ❤️
I’m so glad you enjoyed it! Thank you so much ❤️
Slowly but surely making my way through your channel. I’m newly subscribed.
I loved everything about this “get to know me but you ain’t gonna know all my business video” ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 4 stars because you didn’t overshare with too many words..you kept it moving and kept my attention. I didn’t roll my eyes not one time 🤗🤗🤗
Now back to the subject of nutrition videos I go. Cause that’s what I’m here for ❤️ Edit and Birthday Cake for Breakfast, cause why not?…My Girl!
This was a different video and I loved it ❤️ love that you are talking about mental health! Also loved to see that your mood improved throughout the video ✨
Thank you! So glad you enjoyed the video ❤️
This is my favorite vlog you've ever done. I loved this
This was such a great video! I'm not going through the same life changes you are, but am on my own journey into a new chapter and it does feel good. Sometimes saying goodbye and looking forward can be hard but positive! Thanks for being real, honest and open to sharing with us! I've been a fan for awhile.
Totally! Thank you for sharing ❤️
This was one of your best videos. I loved seeing this side of you!!
I’m so glad you enjoyed it!
Abbey, this video is so encouraging for me although I am just at the beginning of this whole process. I’ve never seen a video like this and it gave me confidence, that although this process is almost out of our control, it can be like a project that has its completion. I would switch with you or any woman being in that stage of their life and having two beautiful children, but you gave me peace that this hard and heartbreaking journey can have a very positive outcome. Thank you for that and congratulations on getting there! It’s not easy, especially when you hit the bumps at the very beginning. You are a great inspiration!
Absolutely. Thank you for sharing, I’m so glad you enjoyed the video ❤️
Loved it, so upbeat, and in general I love vlogs/real life stuff!
Congratulations on a bright and happy new beginning for you and your family! Wow! You must be very proud of yourself for what you’ve done for your children and your family. I know I am! It’s wonderful to see you so happy and hopeful for the future!
Aw thank you so much! ❤️
YES! I loved this video!!!! All of it! Please tell me where the jeans in the try on from!!!?
This was such a great video! I love hearing your insights on a stage of life that I'm just approaching now. It was also so nice being let into your life a bit with such a raw, authentic video. It feels just like watching a friend or sister! Sending lots of love ♥️
I’m so glad you enjoyed it! ❤️
Love the random vlog style videos! So happy you’re moving into the next phase with your family
Thank you! ❤️
This was a great vlog! Cannabis FTW when it comes to a good nights sleep, I also find it helps me so much. Loved seeing the glow up!
Thank you!
Thank you Abbey ❤️ I'm watching your videos about food and eating all the time. As a mom myself I usually am really not into mom/kids stuff.. i wanna watch OTHER stuff 😅 .
So this video was actually about mom stuff but a really new perspective. Thank you so much for this. You are really relatable, honest and its a joy watching this
Thank you! I’m so glad you enjoyed the video ❤️
Love to see you happy. By the way where did you get the white ruffle top? It is so cute.
I am literally obsessed with your vlog type videos
You are GLOWING! This was a fun and encouraging video to watch!
Thank you! So glad you enjoyed it 😊
Feeling young, looking young! Love the glow up Abby you are an inspiration for us all! A light in a dark tunnel of TH-cam ☀️☀️☀️
Aw thank you so much ❤
It's so cool to see a different, more wholesome side to you :)
So glad you enjoyed it!
I loved this video! It's fun to see a little bit more of your personal life and hear your thoughts as a mom. Congrats on weaning and treating yourself to a glow up! So happy that you're sleeping well and feeling good about the future! ❤️
Thank you! So glad you enjoyed the video ❤️
Oh Abbey, I love this video. I’m so happy for you 💕
My kiddos are now 4 & 5 and are BEST BUDS! It makes my heart so happy. Obvi I don’t have a huge parenting scope, but this next stage has been AMAZING! Coming from a fellow mama who struggled a lot with anxiety with little ones. Wishing you the best luck, mama! 💕
Thank you for sharing! ❤️
Omg, Abby! Your eyeshadow always looks so gorgeous in you! I have to ask… what do you use?
Absolutely adorable Abby! It was nice to see this style of video from you and see how you celebrated this new stage in your life!
Thank you! So glad you enjoyed the video 😊
With my first child, I pumped and nursed for about 5 months...all the while, I was getting sicker and sicker and my output was lower and lower. At the 5 month mark, I was so sick I ended up in the ICU (with 2 autoimmune diseases) and I had to take medicine that I couldn't breasfeed with. And I was so devesated by it that I really struggled for a good month as I weaned immediately, so much pain...but she took to the bottle no problem at all. It was harder on me than it ever was on her. I spent weeks crying and feeling like a failure before I could cope and realize that she was still healthy and I had done the best I could with the condition I was in.
With my second child, I was able to get off some of those medications and I breastfed him for 18 months. By then I needed one of my medications back that would not be good for him, but it took a month to wean him and I wasn't really full at all anymore and he mainly did it for comfort. Finally I gave him his last feed one day and that was it. I didn't feel too bad because I got to feed him fo so long, much longer than my first child. He was mainly eating everything anyway. He didn't even go to bottle, he went straight to a cup. That was about 8 years ago. Eventually, you move out of the "baby" stage and honestly...it gets more fun and difficult as you see them develop into individuals with their own thoughts and personalities in the way they express to you everyday.
Get that indica! Feel like this is a diary entry. Lovely video. You are killing it!
Thank you! So glad you enjoyed it 😊
Abby in her bathroom reminds me of Vogues ,,get ready with me" ;)
omg THANK YOU thats hilarious.
My Heart goes out to you... My sons are my everything. When my oldest joined the Air Force, trust, I've never been so proud. The day he left for bootcamp I thought the ache would surely never leave me. I remember thinking, and just like that.. He walked out of my life and into his own.. And that he did. Nobody ever told me, warned me how difficult this season would be. I slept in his bed for a long long time. So long that my husband just joined me, God bless his patience. Its been 6 1/2 years. He visits us often. And I still cry when he leaves. Sending you all my love xoxoxox
Thank you for sharing your experience with this ❤️
love this Abbey, both my 17 and 18 year old sons are IVF "totsicles" both being frozen embryo transfers and I couldnt breast feed but its still an amazing journey full of excitement, joy, sadness and pure determination , so excited and happy for you , love every moment Im still loving those milestones. thanks for sharing the joy hugs xx
Thank you for sharing ❤
Wonderful topic! Breastfeeding is so important, for baby and mom as well. Weaning my baby was one of the most profound experiences and so hard! Today he's a beautiful, snotty teenager - healthy and happy. This child has never needed an antibiotic! God bless you Abby and your sons.
Thank you for sharing! ❤️
Omg I’m binging all of these I’m hooked haha. I have one son he’s 4 and I’m pregnant with baby boy #2 and I’m finding my groove this pregnancy I’m dressing up I put on make up I accessorize and I love it!
Watching this video made so at peace with my decision to be done with having children. I feel you a little self love after giving years to others is beautiful. Wishing you the best🥰
Glad you enjoyed the video ❤️
I LOVED this! I can identify so much with this. Currently weaning my last IVf baby and it’s emotional and wonderful all at the same time
I totally understand!
This was SO FUN!! Abbey, where can I get the white puff sleeve top that you were trying on? It’s absolutely gorgeous 🤩😍
Abbey this was inspiring!! ps. Do you think you could you review Jaclyn Hills I NEED TO BE BETTER. video!!
On my list to review!
Abbey! Can you please tell me/us where you found the white puff (short) sleeve top?! So adorable.
I need to know where you got those tops, love! Congrats on getting your glow on!
Hearing your story I'm so struck by what a different experience it is weaning when they are young. I've nursed both my boys past age two and nursing just kind of ends on its own. I wake up one day and realize I haven't nursed in a while and that's it. It's over. Not much going on physically or emotionally. Nursing was hard the first year with both my boys but after that it just gets easier.
Interesting, thanks for sharing!
This so far is my most favorite video! You are so relatable!! Loved it.
I’m so glad you enjoyed it!
Wow! What a video!! Loved everthing in it. My kids are already older and I totally get what you are going trough! Thank you for sharing such a private side of your life! I also loooove your sence of humor!!🤗😘
Thank you! ❤
awww i'm so happy for you, that you're feeling better, sleeping better, and are so much happier in this new phase of life!
Thank you! I will put it on my list to do a follow up video about the CBD 😊
@@AbbeysKitchen thank you so much, that’d be awesome! ❤️
CBD has really helped me with my sleep. I have anxiety and suffer from insomnia on a regular basis but since I have included a mixture of CBD/melatonin/valerian my sleepless nights are fewer and less frequent. Through experimentation though I learned that I have to have pure CBD - no THC whatsoever. THC will help with my sleep quantity but it messes with sleep quality for me. I find I have a lighter, dreamy and less restful sleep and I wake up a lot if I have THC. I think it's all trial and error and each person is going to react differently. I'm glad you found what seems to work for you and are getting more sleep. Sleep is everything especially for those who struggle with anxiety. It's tough to deal with anxiety when you're sleep deprived!
Totally! Thank you for sharing what works for you!
You go girl! Pizza, pot, morning rose and birthday cake! Love it
Thank you for sharing this journey. Feeling down and a ton of weight gain after weaning for me 😬
I totally understand! I hope you enjoyed the video ❤️
I also gained weight, but that is many years ago now and the extra weight is gone. It's temporary before you find balance again ❤
I have to say I love your honesty and where did you get those tops? Also I am here for the day drinking! You have helped me on my intuitive eating journey.
They’re from ba&sh!
Thanks for sharing! Any links to your friend who's an expert with CBD? Like her book or social media?

I loved this your self-care is amazing
Sorry I just love her so much, so wholesome and glad to see your glow up!!❤️❤️
Aw thank you! ❤️
Listen, I have a 2.5 year old and a 6 month old. I. Feel. You. I’m not nursing this time but when I weaned my first around 14 months I used my last ounce to make a piece of jewelry. It’s a necklace, it’s very pretty and no one ever knows what it is unless they ask and I tell them. It’s a great little momento from that phase of life.
Love that, thank you for sharing!
Oh my gosh I'm feeling your energy from getting some sleep. I have the same sleep issues as you - right down to the getting up 10 times a night to pee when you really don't have to. I would love the info on the book from your friend with all the CBDTHC research. It's legal here in Colorado too and I've been wanting to give it a try. BUT it's so hard finding real info. It looks like you found some. I want! I want! :) Love you!
You are a natural at vloging I’m ready for more!
Hi Abbey! Just want to say I love these type of videos! Also 100% with you when you get your hair done at a salon. I feel like a new woman afterwords.
Totally! So glad you enjoyed the video 😊
This video was so fun definitely looking forward to more like it :D
Glad you enjoyed it!
I can so relate to this one. The mastitis , loving and cherishing the end of breastfeeding, but also being ready to move on to the next phase of motherhood . For me it was a complex and bittersweet time of my life. Thank you so much for sharing ❤️
❤❤
Loved that you treated yourself! Breastfeeding is an accomplishment that you should definitely celebrate 🥂
Great video! Where did you buy that cute pink top?
Ba&sh!
Thank you for this video. I just stopped breastfeeding myself and it was nice to hear your experience as well. Had to deal with the clogged ducts and just work through it.
I’m glad you found the video helpful!
Not TMI to me! Give your girls some time, I found mine looked really empty right after weaning. While they never plumped back up to their breastfeeding size again they definitely became fuller over time :).
Thanks for sharing!
@@AbbeysKitchen you bet, Abby!
Same here. They were like socks hanging off of me right after weaning but definitely plumped up a tad within a few months but never back to before );
This is my new favourite video of you🥰 Listening to your story and being vulnerable with all of us is so beautiful ❤️ You are such an inspiration and at the end of this video you shine so bright 🥺 Sending you so much love, I love your vlogs
Aw thank you! I’m so glad you enjoyed it ❤️
Every phase is so bittersweet. And, I don’t think that’ll ever end. We will always be moms!😊
Wow this video made me love you even more! I can do relate to this too. I am pregnant with my 3rd and honestly want to be done after this and give myself the glow up of a lifetime 🤩 Thanks for the inspiration!
I’m glad the video was helpful!
Would you be willing to mention your friend's name and book? I've tried CBD for sleeping and struggle to find the right blend
www.jannabiswellness.com
This made me laugh so much. You’re freaking hilarious. And you are GORGEOUS!
Thank you so much!
You know what I am most excited to see?? A family picture from you🤗🤗🤗
She’s protecting her kids privacy..
I don't share photos of my kids online, sorry!
I have had so many issues woth clogged ducts. The BEST fix I have found is a hot water bottle on the breast and then pump to relieve the pressure. But the hot water bottle makes a hige difference. Good luck!
Thank you for sharing!
Loved this style of video! Really enjoying your content!! :) xx
Thank you!
I love alllll your tops. They look so good on you. Where do you shop?
This haul was from Ba&sh
Thank you for sharing such a vulnerable part of your life!
I’m so glad you enjoyed it 😊
I really enjoyed this vlog! So nice to see you taking care of yourself. Sometimes when we watch others care for themselves, it inspires us to do the same. Atleast for me it does!
I’m so glad it’s helpful!
I love vlogs! Sometimes I don´t watch your videos anymore because review aber review gets a bit old sometimes (even though they are good quality, but you know our brains, they crave diversity).Please do more everyday life vlogs💗:=)
Loving the vlog content, Abbey!!
So glad!
Loved this vlog! Thanks for sharing ❤️
I am going through this exact stage so it was lovely watching this and commiserating with you
I’m LIVING for this. Pleaseeeee do more.
On my list to do more of these videos!
Can you please post the cbd you are using. I been wanting to try it for a while but with so many brands, it's overwhelming
i used Soleil its a CBN/ THC blend
