Hello. This is my 1st time viewing your Chanel. For starters, it’s not easy being 9 months pregnant during these hard times we all are going through. I have 5 grown kids & 3 grandkids. I’m still on the move, I’m still doing all that a mom, wife, and housewife needs to do. It doesn’t stop even though almost all my kids moved out already lol. I see how I have aged. I sometimes don’t like what I see. However, I had my time experiencing youth. As I accepted this is what it is right now, I’m still so loved by my family and that’s what’s important. You my dear, are a beautiful soul. Look at all the amazing things you are doing at this very moment in the dead of summer none the less, and 9 months pregnant. Not many women are capable of doing that. Everyone is different. All pregnancies are different too. You are keeping busy, your mindset is amazing, you are carrying the baby so well, your weight looks amazing. In fact, I don’t see any extra weight for being 9 month’s pregnant. You look truly amazing. All pregnant women criticize themselves. Just be mindful that you are beautiful inside and out.
It has stayed in the 102, 104 temps here in Artesia, New Mexico most days since April. The heat index is INSANE! Saylor showing us how she folds was PRECIOUS!!! OMGOODNESS, don't be sorry you didn't mop, I would have been exhausted after all you did and I'm not 9mo pregnant! You are AMAZING girly!!!
Hi this is my first video I’ve seen of yours (I think!) and I enjoyed it very much. You’re very blessed! I usually clean as I go during the party. I clean up trash and rinse dishes and put them in the dishwasher and run it. Then I enjoy the party for a bit then empty the dishwasher and load it again (it ALWAYS needs another round, sometimes two more!!) and enjoy the party again. The final load stays in the dishwasher til morning and I sweep after everyone leaves. I mop the next morning then vacuum and mop again because there are always things I missed the first time! Thank you for sharing your time and talent with us!
I had trouble with both pregnancies so I had help before and a little while after babies were born. My daughter and son had the same friends so their July birthdays were held together at a pool! All paper products. We had after parties often. Everyone pitched in before leaving to ditch the paper plates, etc. My friends had been my friends all my life. Now at 71, if I cook for family I usually clean up after they’ve left, at our ages all leave early. Haha! Wish you the best with new baby!
I live in Wichita, Kansas and the past few weeks it was in the 100s, and it was miserable. Today it’s July 28th and it’s in the 80s and the next few days are going to be in the 70s. Michelle you are absolutely beautiful, I love seeing your precious baby bump. I think it is awesome that you have videos of you pregnant to look back and share them with your children. I wish I had more pictures of myself when I was pregnant to share with my daughter’s. I can’t wait to see the baby’s nursery.💙
Good morning, hope the party was enjoyed by all. Now after all that prepping for the party, it’s time to undo all that work. All your decorating ideas were so special. It’s so worth it all if your daughter enjoyed her party. Cannot put a price on making memories. They are only little for a minute and want parties so enjoy it all. Thank goodness Chris is doing the outside work especially in this crazy heat. I just do what has to be done during a party and try to enjoy everyone. Nesting is a crazy way to describe preparing. A nursery isn’t needed at first so much for the baby but it is needed for all the necessary supplies. Its kind of like preparing & celebrating the fact that a new person is coming in to your life. It’s like the first act of showing your love for this little miracle. Don’t stress about getting the nursery finished. Just pack your hospital bags. Have a space set up for him in your room with supplies. Those things are the most important. If the girls are going to stay with family pack their bags. If someone is coming in to stay with them. Pack the refrigerator & pantry. Make a list with important phone numbers like pizza delivery etc. GIRLFRIEND YOU LOOK GORGEOUS. Some of us didn’t get to carry our babies long enough to really show. After losing our child & several surgeries, we adopted. All the joy none of the hard physical work.You will have time for exercising and getting your body back. YOU ARE BEAUTIFUL INSIDE AND OUT. Please enjoy these last weeks of growing your son. YOUR GORGEOUS. Until next time.
I noticed your girls were helping today which is super cute ! Buy please don't feel that you need to show your girls cleaning because of all the hateful comments suggesting that they dont clean up after themselves. Youre a great mother and you dont have to prove yourself. You have fantastic girls and people who choose to make mean comments are small minded. Your videos only show a small amount of your life and people shouldn't make these comments based on the videos you post. Love form the UK ! 🥰
Aww thank you so much! I recorded this one before some of the comments but I’m definitely trying to do the best I can like all of us! I appreciate you and hope you have a great weekend!
On your parenting- you are doing just fine. I have always tried to remember through the years to pick and choose your battles. Also, don’t sweat the little stuff. It’s toys in a play room not all over the house for you to trip over. They will only be little a short time and I’m sure with your cleaning regime, they are picking up more than you are aware of. You’ve got this! ❤️
Hello Michelle first let me say congratulations on your New bundle of joy!!! You are a beautiful person inside and out. I have been going through a lot over the past few months. I have missed watching your videos so now I am binge watching. Love your spirit. Keep up the great job you are doing.💕💕💕💕
Michelle, you look beautiful! Having a little one inside you makes you glow, even if you don't feel that great. I can't believe how big the girls are getting and can't wait to meet your son. I love your cleaning videos, not only are they inspirational but I love the things you talk about. I don't need to watch someone vacuum the same room or clean the dishes. But I enjoy your content because you have so many interesting topics whether it is about things you read, hear, or just stories. You are doing an awesome job. The house looked beautiful for the party (you are so talented!) and beautiful back to normal. Stay well, and looking forward to baby watch!
Bless your heart that was a lot to clean but those sweet little girls are worth it. Get you some well needed rest. I know you all are excited for your little baby to come. I can’t wait to see him and know what you have decided to name him. Have a blessed day. ♥️🥰🌹🦋
I think cleaning up the day after is good. I tend to be in the kitchen the whole time during the party.. I think resting and enjoying friends and family is the best.
Definitely 3rd child syndrome! I also have 3 ages 14, 9, and 5. My first, I think the excitement had nesting kick in around 5 months and didn't stop. My Second, I started around 6 or 7 months. Then my little caboose came around and I had to force myself to nest at the last minute. I promise you, you are not alone in this. And as far as heat... Girl I'm in Mobile, AL. Scorching and Humid, We are roasting and suffocating!
Heyyyy boo! Awe I love your kids, they are super adorable. She even has her own vacuum and does it with you, that’s so awesome! You look amazing! 🥰 I always clean up the next day after the party, enjoy time with friends and family is what’s most important in life. ❤️ Can’t wait to see lil guys nursery, I know you will have it looking amazing! 😍 I hope y’all have a wonderful blessed week and weekend! 😁
Hi Michelle, I live in southwest Michigan and we have been one of the lucky ones with a beautiful summer. We've had a couple days in the 90's, but other than that 70's & 80's.😊 love your channel. Good luck with your upcoming blessing of a beautiful boy. 👣
Naps, sleeping, routines, playing and reading were more important to me for my son, then him cleaning up his toys. I really like your parenting style, Michelle.
You have such wise words according to body image and such, us women struggle with it all the time. I myself am a plus size girl and it's so hard every day to see the gorgeous women who fit in every single dress or outfit while I struggle with even choosing a comfortable pants or shirt... it's a daily struggle and battle with myself 😢
Hey girl, being a stay at home mum of four and multiple animals, our fourth child definitely didn’t get the organized, get it all Done mum his siblings got lol his nursery was not finished by the time he was born and he didn’t know the difference. He’s now 7 and his room is all decorated how he likes 😊 All that matters is your taking care of yourself and your family!! Kids honestly don’t know the difference if their room is up to our standards. 💕
Sailor did an awesome job helping! You look great so never worry about that. I do feel the heat! 🥵 I live in ne Texas and it has been super scorching this summer!!
Loving your videos, I enjoy that you are so chill, I’m in southeast PA, outside of Philly and yes, the last month has been brutal, heat with humidity close to 100 degrees, and dry, usually we get a break where you can open the windows a few days, a few nightly thunderstorms, but no relief. Take care, always enjoy your “talks”, thank you.😊
I’ve always been a “do it tomorrow” person when having people over. It is a giant mess, which is triggering for me 😅 but I’m always SO exhausted at the end of company and would rather just enjoy them while their there 🤍 so I’m with you! Plus it gives you a super satisfying video 😉
Hi Michelle. Props for throwing an obviously awesome birthday party for your little girl at 9months pregnant. I used to clean up absolutely everything during and after every birthday party... And I would be completely exhausted the next day and I would feel like I never really spent time with my child on her birthday.... Now I pace myself, I leave stuff till everyone has gone home.. I only pick up trash and throw away or put away left over food. Decorations, gifts, dishes and other clutter and party mess can wait till the next day. I live in Durban South Africa, its supposed to be winter now but its still pretty warm, its scorching hot from after September until next July. Thank you for an awesome video.
Yes, the kids were told and taught that they could choose one thing they wanted to play with (that doesn't mean one piece). Once they were done playing with it, they had to put it up before picking something else. They can't play with everything at one time, so there is no reason for them to dump everything out. Patience and Consistency makes it work. In the process as they learned for a week or so, they were also told if they took out all the toys, they would lose privileges. Same thing went for the rest of the house. Pick-up, put-up and clean-up after yourself. :)
You look Beautiful I love the look of a pregnant woman. You have a beautiful baby growing inside of you. Your blessed and be Thankful. Your a good person. . The girls will enjoy helping and being little mama's. Every thing will fall in place. Rest but feet up older since you had baby. Rest so your you'll need that energy to see little guy. Enjoy
Girl, I don't know how you do it! You are a great motivator! You know I LOVE watching your channel... I've been around for a while know and your you make me want to be a better ME!! Your girls are just the sweetest! Can't wait to see how adorable baby boy will be!! I do have a question... are you a planner. If so, what planner do you use and could you give tips and tricks on how to stay on track. I hope you have a great weekend!!
Thanks Melanie! Great question! I’ll take note to explain more in an upcoming video! But basically I use my phone calendar for most stuff and for planning content I use a white board.
New subscriber here.... You're doing a great job mama! Parenting style is a personal choice, I think your priorities of what you find important are on point. As long as your kids are happy and healthy, just keep doing what works for you. None of us are perfect, and parenting is a different lesson everday!
Loved your party prep video and also the cleanup! Whenever we have a party right at the end of the night my friends or mum will help me to get the food and trash put away and dishes done. Then when everyone is gone I tell myself I'm going straight to bed but somehow I end up mopping and cleaning everything, even if its 3am lol. Only because I don't like waking up to a dirty house.
Don’t worry about not having the kids help clean up or the comments. I never was militant on my kids picking up their entire childhood. None of them turned out to be slobs. LOL! They are all productive and clean adults…or almost there (youngest is 19). You are doing a great job and are a great mom.
I’m up in Northern Oklahoma. It’s been well over 100 for several weeks now. Last week we hit 115…..and that was not the heat index believe it or not!!! Actual temp.
Hi Michele! Even though we only see a small snip it, you are doing great and you look great! I know this pregnancy has not been easy for you and I’m sorry. I don’t have anything in particular I’d like to see (I’ll watch no matter what) but I am looking forward to all things baby prep💙
I live in Jacksonville fl. It's the same here. I am from Houston I know how it can be there. When I go there to visit family I wait until the fall. Lol.
Hi Michelle kids have got to be kids when my boys got to ages 6 and over I just told them they can play with there toys but 6pm they had to all go away and if they didn't help they were put in a black bin bag and put in the loft/attack then they would come down a week later as far as there were concerned they went out in the rubbish bin x
Hey Michelle ! Yes it is scorching hot here in south Mississippi 🥵 I’m about ready for fall ! I Can’t wait to see the girls room and the nursery reveal ! Btw you look great! TFS!
No shade at anyone but all the friends and family that enjoyed the beautiful party could have offered to help clean up the next day. I used to go and help.The ones that had the parties were like you and usually were hosting.Please be well and snuggle with your girls!Much lone💝
bonsoir Michelle je vous suis depuis plusieurs années je vous suis fidèle et part a port votre grossesse et au partage de votre vie actuelle je vous félicite de faire ce travail car je suis continente du temps que vous passer merci à vous et bon courage pour la suite😊😉💕💕
I’m currently pregnant and i’m so hot all the time! Im in the UK and we had 2 days of 40° weather and that’s really hot for us, as we’re not used to the hot weather! But it is currently summer over here! Happy Friday hope you have a great weekend. ☀️🌸
I love u and ur channel! have u ever heard of a book called "hunt, gather, parent"? Its a parenting book that is well written, easy to read and an interesting take on gentle parenting it's also a pretty short book, I feel like u would enjoy it :)
We're very strict on he puts his own toys away before dinner. He needs guidance and cheering and sternness because he's only 3.5, but he does well most of the time. And there's about 15% of the time we do it for him depending how the schedule that day went and energy levels. But we started him helping us about 2.5, and it was ROUGH in the beginning. It still is some nights. But we do our best to make it fun and cheer when he's all done. We don't want him to associate picking up with negative feelings and we both grew up in chronically dirty houses, so we want him growing up seeing what it takes to live in a clean environment, so it's normal to him to do it. We're much more laid back about bedtime and nightmares. He's a finicky sleeper. We didn't get a full 7 hours of sleep for the first 2 years. When we finally found the right combination of things, we were so excited. He gets bedtime snuggles in his bed until he falls asleep. I never wanted to sleep train. I remember my parents doing that and how alone and abandoned I felt as a little kid. I know most kids don't remember or feel unloved from sleep training, but I did. And I'm still a terrible sleeper. I don't know if that's why but I'm not taking the chance with mine. And he's naturally a kid who needs a lot of physical affection every day. When he stopped taking naps it became impossible to fill that bucket all the way without bedtime cuddles because he's constantly on the go when he's awake. We don't have a set age where we plan to stop bedtime cuddles. He'll let us know. He used to need a bottle to go to sleep. We kept that going until he decided he was over it. He still gets a sippy cup with water but he takes a few sips then just cuddles it and finishes it in the morning when he wakes up. Everyone we know think the bottle/sippy cup and the bedtime cuddles should have stopped 2 years ago. But we also get told all the time they can't believe what a happy kid he is and how he's basically always in a great mood. And we're strict about art time stays in his high chair. Everything from stickers to paint he stays in his high chair for it so clean up is minimal. And he's happy with it. Very relaxed with what he chooses to eat. We ask him to pick between a few things and he does. Or if he asks for something on his own, and we have it, he usually gets it. (He's never been introduced to candy though.)
Hello, I'm SO loving your channel. I look forward to each and every one of your videos. I wanted to chime in about the subject of making children help or have chores. I raised my daughter with a very unpopular view. The way I see it, first your children don't ask to be born. YOU choose to bring them into this world. They are your responsibility. They're not born to be your housekeeper or maid. They are small for such a short period of time. So, let them be children. Care free, no responsibilities, no chores. Let them play and be children. Sure, I had my daughter start cleaning her own bedroom when I felt that it was age appropriate. Our children learn how to clean and take care of a home by watching us. It's up to us, as parents to set a good example. If they ask to help, of course, let them. They have the rest of their adult lives to be responsible, have chores, have jobs and one day have their own homes. Let them be babies as long as possible. I'm sure that I will get some negative feedback, but that's ok. That's how I raised my daughter and she turned out pretty amazing, now age 32. XOXO'S
Hey Michelle, I think you look terrific! Absolutely adorable! I know that’s not how 9 months feels! You’re doing great! ❤️ I love all of your content, keep it coming! I’m in southern Ca in the high desert, it’s hella hot here too 😩
Just saw your comment cause we're in Northern California and can't believe the drastic difference. It's currently 59 degrees and cloudy with fog. Northern California is so different.
Michelle baby - you definitely get it done 9 months and all! You are so stinkin cute Great job Mama...I have 2 children and with my 1st I was so extra but you learn...The second time around I focused on what was necessary and there wasn't such an urgency I guess..If she slept in the bassinet a little longer ole well..lol Have a wonderful week Suga
Your body is beautiful look what it's doing right now growing a tiny human and that's amazing !!!!! No ones body is perfect and there is no need to try for perfection !!!
Michelle, I wouldn’t have been able to do all you did let alone mop! Great job cleaning and organizing again. I went into labor early with my second child and had nothing prepared so get on that baby’s room! 😉 By the way you are gorgeous sweet lady! 😊❤😊
I live in central Arkansas and it's been super dry and super hot. Temps have been between 104-105 with heat index of 110. Absolutely miserable! I can't imagine being pregnant with this heat. Also don't be hard on yourself, you are doing great and looks adorable!
Hey Michelle, it's Michelle, lol. I just wanted to let you know I really appreciate your content because I love your kindness, the inspiration, home making ideas and motivation. I hope you're able to continue to do this after you have your baby, on top of working your other full time job! But if you can't I understand... at least having to take a break... If so, don't feel bad and listen to the healthy thoughts!! I know you're an extra hard worker so just be careful and take care! :) Thanks, Love and blessings. :)
In Nashville we've had more than 30 straight days above 90 degrees with heat index over 100. We had one day of 100 degrees with high humidity. Miserable.
I’m working in my kitchen, I haven’t cleaned it in a while. I live in Manitoba, right now we’re having a rainy last week of July. So we’ve been stuck inside when my four year old is home, Is there any cleaning products you love and not love? Could you share that?
Ciao Michelle auguri per il compleanno della tua bellissima bimba.Bel lavoro di pulizia dopo la festa col tuo bel pancione 😅 saluti a tutti voi dall'Italia 🥰🇮🇹💌😘
I clean up & put food away the day of the party no matter how late, therefore there's no scrubbing of hardened dried food, plus I'd worry about the get out food attracting bugs & mice.

A pregnant woman is beautiful! Never forget that!! You look amazing and I can’t believe how much you are able to accomplish!

Saylor showing us how she folds was PRECIOUS!!!
OMGOODNESS, don't be sorry you didn't mop, I would have been exhausted after all you did and I'm not 9mo pregnant! You are AMAZING girly!!!

Sailor is so cute. I love seeing her showing off her folding and mommy skills.
Seeing Saylor rock her baby doll and lay her down was the sweetest thing ever! 😍
😊😊😊
I prefer to clean up right after. I try to use all throw away items I can. Makes cleanup easier.
Michelle, you look beautiful! Having a little one inside you makes you glow, even if you don't feel that great. I can't believe how big the girls are getting and can't wait to meet your son.

So ready for fall !
Heyyyy boo! Awe I love your kids, they are super adorable. She even has her own vacuum and does it with you, that’s so awesome! You look amazing! 🥰
I always clean up the next day after the party, enjoy time with friends and family is what’s most important in life. ❤️
Can’t wait to see lil guys nursery, I know you will have it looking amazing! 😍
I hope y’all have a wonderful blessed week and weekend! 😁
Hey Tonya!! Thanks so much and hope you also have a wonderful weekend!
Michelle you are doing amazing, more then what non pregnant woman get done in a day. Your girls were adorable helping today.
Hi Michelle, I live in southwest Michigan and we have been one of the lucky ones with a beautiful summer. We've had a couple days in the 90's, but other than that 70's & 80's.😊 love your channel. Good luck with your upcoming blessing of a beautiful boy. 👣
Live in Arizona. Summer got up to 117°. Now that it’s August, down to 105°.
Enjoy watching you! I do clean up a bit they day/evening of the party. Mostly picking up trash and putting food away.
Thanks so much Annie!
I'm in Manchester in the UK we have had very hot weather but it is dull today, but we Definatly DON'T have the heat you have !! 😸 🌷🌷
Love your party videos, you have the best decorations and food. Thanks for sharing all phases from set up to party to clean up. Have a great weekend
Naps, sleeping, routines, playing and reading were more important to me for my son, then him cleaning up his toys. I really like your parenting style, Michelle.
You look so beautiful. Your daughters are so precious. Love your channel!!!!
Thank you Jean!! 😊😊
We live just south of Fort Worth and our Temps have been over 102 for continuously for 3 weeks and no rain up here for going on 8 weeks.

I love your contents as they are. I have your videos on all day as I get on with my daily routine 💙💚
Loved the big cleanup! You did great at 37 weeks! I can’t wait to see that baby boys nursery & what all you’re doing for him! 💙
Thanks Rita! Next week starts all the baby content!
Sailor did an awesome job helping! You look great so never worry about that.
I do feel the heat! 🥵 I live in ne Texas and it has been super scorching this summer!!
Loving your videos, I enjoy that you are so chill, I’m in southeast PA, outside of Philly and yes, the last month has been brutal, heat with humidity close to 100 degrees, and dry, usually we get a break where you can open the windows a few days, a few nightly thunderstorms, but no relief. Take care, always enjoy your “talks”, thank you.😊
Good Morning family 🌅 and Happy Thursday love your video and thanks for the motivation 🥰
I’ve always been a “do it tomorrow” person when having people over. It is a giant mess, which is triggering for me 😅 but I’m always SO exhausted at the end of company and would rather just enjoy them while their there 🤍 so I’m with you! Plus it gives you a super satisfying video 😉
Have you ever done a Q+A with your husband?you did really well to clean all that at 37wks pregnant.I can’t wait to see your little baby boy.🥰
Hey, I loved your cleaning motivation!!!!
Hi Michelle. Props for throwing an obviously awesome birthday party for your little girl at 9months pregnant. I used to clean up absolutely everything during and after every birthday party... And I would be completely exhausted the next day and I would feel like I never really spent time with my child on her birthday.... Now I pace myself, I leave stuff till everyone has gone home.. I only pick up trash and throw away or put away left over food. Decorations, gifts, dishes and other clutter and party mess can wait till the next day. I live in Durban South Africa, its supposed to be winter now but its still pretty warm, its scorching hot from after September until next July.
Thank you for an awesome video.
I was the same!! I bet South Africa is beautiful! Hope you have a great weekend Chelda!
I would love to see a house tour. I just love your house.
Yes, the kids were told and taught that they could choose one thing they wanted to play with (that doesn't mean one piece). Once they were done playing with it, they had to put it up before picking something else. They can't play with everything at one time, so there is no reason for them to dump everything out. Patience and Consistency makes it work. In the process as they learned for a week or so, they were also told if they took out all the toys, they would lose privileges. Same thing went for the rest of the house. Pick-up, put-up and clean-up after yourself. :)
Happy to see you !! You look wonderful! Have a blessed weekend!
Thank you so much Leesa! Hope you have a wonderful weekend!
You look Beautiful I love the look of a pregnant woman. You have a beautiful baby growing inside of you. Your blessed and be Thankful. Your a good person. . The girls will enjoy helping and being little mama's. Every thing will fall in place. Rest but feet up older since you had baby. Rest so your you'll need that energy to see little guy. Enjoy
Girl, I don't know how you do it! You are a great motivator! You know I LOVE watching your channel... I've been around for a while know and your you make me want to be a better ME!! Your girls are just the sweetest! Can't wait to see how adorable baby boy will be!! I do have a question... are you a planner. If so, what planner do you use and could you give tips and tricks on how to stay on track. I hope you have a great weekend!!
Thanks Melanie! Great question! I’ll take note to explain more in an upcoming video! But basically I use my phone calendar for most stuff and for planning content I use a white board.
I love what you do already no need to change anything. 🌹🌹
Ridiculous hot in SW Missouri. Been 102-104 the past 2 weeks. I’m still waiting for rain. Rained all around me but not on my town.
New subscriber here.... You're doing a great job mama!
Parenting style is a personal choice, I think your priorities of what you find important are on point. As long as your kids are happy and healthy, just keep doing what works for you. None of us are perfect, and parenting is a different lesson everday!
Hey Regina!! I’m so glad to have you here! 😊
The parts of our self is the party we should love the most ❤️. I like that saying
Thank you very much for motivation. Oh cod keep my laziness away from me
❤️ your channel so much!! The girls are so adorable helping you!! 😊❤️
Thank you so much Wendy!!
Loved your party prep video and also the cleanup! Whenever we have a party right at the end of the night my friends or mum will help me to get the food and trash put away and dishes done. Then when everyone is gone I tell myself I'm going straight to bed but somehow I end up mopping and cleaning everything, even if its 3am lol. Only because I don't like waking up to a dirty house.
Don’t worry about not having the kids help clean up or the comments. I never was militant on my kids picking up their entire childhood. None of them turned out to be slobs. LOL! They are all productive and clean adults…or almost there (youngest is 19). You are doing a great job and are a great mom.
I’m up in Northern Oklahoma. It’s been well over 100 for several weeks now. Last week we hit 115…..and that was not the heat index believe it or not!!! Actual temp.
I live in Virginia. It's hot but raining/storms occasionally.
Hi Michele! Even though we only see a small snip it, you are doing great and you look great! I know this pregnancy has not been easy for you and I’m sorry. I don’t have anything in particular I’d like to see (I’ll watch no matter what) but I am looking forward to all things baby prep💙
I live in Jacksonville fl. It's the same here. I am from Houston I know how it can be there. When I go there to visit family I wait until the fall. Lol.
I would like to see more baby prep
Next week! I start a long baby prep and following week is all baby organization and nursery reveal!
Hi Michelle kids have got to be kids when my boys got to ages 6 and over I just told them they can play with there toys but 6pm they had to all go away and if they didn't help they were put in a black bin bag and put in the loft/attack then they would come down a week later as far as there were concerned they went out in the rubbish bin x
Hey Michelle !
Yes it is scorching hot here in south Mississippi 🥵
I’m about ready for fall !
I Can’t wait to see the girls room and the nursery reveal !
Btw you look great! TFS!
Thanks so much Melissa! I feel you on this heat!! 🥵
The weather here in Newfoundland Canada so far this summer for us has been 90
I absolutely have to clean up right after party but if I'm being honest, I actually start cleaning up during the party lol.
Love your channel and you are doing great and thank you for the motivation 💜
I really like your hair!
No shade at anyone but all the friends and family that enjoyed the beautiful party could have offered to help clean up the next day. I used to go and help.The ones that had the parties were like you and usually were hosting.Please be well and snuggle with your girls!Much lone💝
bonsoir Michelle je vous suis depuis plusieurs années je vous suis fidèle et part a port votre grossesse et au partage de votre vie actuelle je vous félicite de faire ce travail car je suis continente du temps que vous passer merci à vous et bon courage pour la suite😊😉💕💕
I’m currently pregnant and i’m so hot all the time! Im in the UK and we had 2 days of 40° weather and that’s really hot for us, as we’re not used to the hot weather! But it is currently summer over here! Happy Friday hope you have a great weekend. ☀️🌸
Congratulations!! I completely understand being pregnant in this heat! Hang in there!! 😊😊
Pennsylvania it's 88 and feels like 94 and humidity bad. I stay in house in ac 😆. I hate heat
Love watching and hearing your fun info. I enjoy your videos. How do you do it? Your girls are so precious. 😊
It's not scorching hot here, but we have bad humidity. So, it has been super humid here. I live in Indiana.
love your hair today! Super cute!
Thank you Laura!
I love u and ur channel! have u ever heard of a book called "hunt, gather, parent"? Its a parenting book that is well written, easy to read and an interesting take on gentle parenting it's also a pretty short book, I feel like u would enjoy it :)
We're very strict on he puts his own toys away before dinner. He needs guidance and cheering and sternness because he's only 3.5, but he does well most of the time. And there's about 15% of the time we do it for him depending how the schedule that day went and energy levels. But we started him helping us about 2.5, and it was ROUGH in the beginning. It still is some nights. But we do our best to make it fun and cheer when he's all done. We don't want him to associate picking up with negative feelings and we both grew up in chronically dirty houses, so we want him growing up seeing what it takes to live in a clean environment, so it's normal to him to do it.
We're much more laid back about bedtime and nightmares. He's a finicky sleeper. We didn't get a full 7 hours of sleep for the first 2 years. When we finally found the right combination of things, we were so excited. He gets bedtime snuggles in his bed until he falls asleep. I never wanted to sleep train. I remember my parents doing that and how alone and abandoned I felt as a little kid. I know most kids don't remember or feel unloved from sleep training, but I did. And I'm still a terrible sleeper. I don't know if that's why but I'm not taking the chance with mine. And he's naturally a kid who needs a lot of physical affection every day. When he stopped taking naps it became impossible to fill that bucket all the way without bedtime cuddles because he's constantly on the go when he's awake. We don't have a set age where we plan to stop bedtime cuddles. He'll let us know. He used to need a bottle to go to sleep. We kept that going until he decided he was over it. He still gets a sippy cup with water but he takes a few sips then just cuddles it and finishes it in the morning when he wakes up. Everyone we know think the bottle/sippy cup and the bedtime cuddles should have stopped 2 years ago. But we also get told all the time they can't believe what a happy kid he is and how he's basically always in a great mood.
And we're strict about art time stays in his high chair. Everything from stickers to paint he stays in his high chair for it so clean up is minimal. And he's happy with it.
Very relaxed with what he chooses to eat. We ask him to pick between a few things and he does. Or if he asks for something on his own, and we have it, he usually gets it. (He's never been introduced to candy though.)
Love how everyone parents differently and we all make the best decisions for our children! At the end of the day they are loved!
Hello, I'm SO loving your channel. I look forward to each and every one of your videos. I wanted to chime in about the subject of making children help or have chores. I raised my daughter with a very unpopular view. The way I see it, first your children don't ask to be born. YOU choose to bring them into this world. They are your responsibility. They're not born to be your housekeeper or maid. They are small for such a short period of time. So, let them be children. Care free, no responsibilities, no chores. Let them play and be children. Sure, I had my daughter start cleaning her own bedroom when I felt that it was age appropriate. Our children learn how to clean and take care of a home by watching us. It's up to us, as parents to set a good example. If they ask to help, of course, let them. They have the rest of their adult lives to be responsible, have chores, have jobs and one day have their own homes. Let them be babies as long as possible.
I'm sure that I will get some negative feedback, but that's ok. That's how I raised my daughter and she turned out pretty amazing, now age 32. XOXO'S
Hey Michelle, I think you look terrific! Absolutely adorable! I know that’s not how 9 months feels! You’re doing great! ❤️ I love all of your content, keep it coming! I’m in southern Ca in the high desert, it’s hella hot here too 😩
Hey Tamera!! I bet is supper hot 🥵! Try and keep cool!
Just saw your comment cause we're in Northern California and can't believe the drastic difference. It's currently 59 degrees and cloudy with fog. Northern California is so different.
Michelle baby - you definitely get it done 9 months and all! You are so stinkin cute
Great job Mama...I have 2 children and with my 1st I was so extra but you learn...The second time around I focused on what was necessary and there wasn't such an urgency I guess..If she slept in the bassinet a little longer ole well..lol
Have a wonderful week Suga
You look amazing Michelle 😘😘😘
Your body is beautiful look what it's doing right now growing a tiny human and that's amazing !!!!! No ones body is perfect and there is no need to try for perfection !!!
Thanks Christine! I agree!
Michelle, I wouldn’t have been able to do all you did let alone mop! Great job cleaning and organizing again. I went into labor early with my second child and had nothing prepared so get on that baby’s room! 😉 By the way you are gorgeous sweet lady! 😊❤😊
I live in central Arkansas and it's been super dry and super hot. Temps have been between 104-105 with heat index of 110. Absolutely miserable! I can't imagine being pregnant with this heat. Also don't be hard on yourself, you are doing great and looks adorable!
I feel you Samantha! I like heat but this is extreme lol! Hang in there fall is around the corner! 😊
Hi michelle i live in tulsa ok it has been 100 here to it rain lil bit this morning but now it is humid
Hey Michelle, it's Michelle, lol. I just wanted to let you know I really appreciate your content because I love your kindness, the inspiration, home making ideas and motivation. I hope you're able to continue to do this after you have your baby, on top of working your other full time job! But if you can't I understand... at least having to take a break... If so, don't feel bad and listen to the healthy thoughts!! I know you're an extra hard worker so just be careful and take care! :)
Thanks, Love and blessings. :)
I live in north eastern Oregon and we were 111 today and supposed to stay that way for a week
That sounds super hot for Oregon!! Try making stay cool!!
Hi! this year is extremely hot everywhere 😫 Here is winter, but is still hot as if were summer 🤔
One more thing: girl. You look amazing pregnant. Don’t be harsh on you ❤️
You’re so sweet thank you so much!
In Nashville we've had more than 30 straight days above 90 degrees with heat index over 100. We had one day of 100 degrees with high humidity. Miserable.
Hey Michelle..
I'm a cleaner upper after a 🥳 party
Yes it's awful outside in Pa but the humidity is choking
Weather Idex here in Pennsylvania 105
Hi neighbor! I’m so tired of the heat and no rain

Also, I love your braids!
First time viewer and I love your vibe also where did you bought your juice dispenser is it glass
Can you link your rug in your family room please?
I’m working in my kitchen, I haven’t cleaned it in a while. I live in Manitoba, right now we’re having a rainy last week of July. So we’ve been stuck inside when my four year old is home,
Is there any cleaning products you love and not love? Could you share that?
Ciao Michelle auguri per il compleanno della tua bellissima bimba.Bel lavoro di pulizia dopo la festa col tuo bel pancione 😅 saluti a tutti voi dall'Italia 🥰🇮🇹💌😘
bonsoir et merci pour vos vidéos avant votre accouchement je vous souhaite bon courage bonne continuations t & bientôt😉😉
I clean up afterwards .I hate messes oh by the way you look great..take time for yourself
I clean up & put food away the day of the party no matter how late, therefore there's no scrubbing of hardened dried food, plus I'd worry about the get out food attracting bugs & mice.
