My eyes got filled with tears when I saw the room and the mess! I really wanted to cry. I'm constantly feeling that I'm not doing enough around the house because it just looks like that almost everywhere! Mind you, my sister in law came over yesterday and asked why aren't you sitting down? GO EAT! Like I'm constantly cleaning and feeding kids and yet it is never enough. Thanks for showing reality. It really helped me feel like I'm not alone 😘
I LOVE that you showed the mess in front of you as you film. That was powerful! As someone that watches tons of mom channels its hard to not compare yourself. But just as you showed we only see what y'all show us and that's not every minute and angle of your life. I love your channel and your family 💕 thank you for always being real
I love that you shared about the shaking and showed it's normal. It's easy to take little things about yourself and focus on them in an unhealthy way, speaking from experience. Love your videos. ☺️
Love your channel Olivia! You are so real and refreshing. I’ve been watching a lot of your videos through my first pregnancy and super appreciate how down to earth and pragmatic you are!! Keep up the great work!!
I just wanted you to know that you have been my guidance through my first pregnancy! I've watched all your videos and will follow all your tips and tricks! Thank you xx
Thank you for your honesty. Many youtube moms show their houses and they are always so clean and when its "dirty" its like 3-4 things on the floor. We had our babies around the same time and I appreciate your honesty... it makes me feel like its okay to not have it all together, it happens to many of us.
I appreciate you making videos, Olivia! I don’t have many mom friends, so I love getting to be virtual friends with you! Thanks for being REAL and so awesome!! ❤️
Omg. I needed to hear “ you do you” mom shaming is so real and it’s crazy how other moms are so quick to judge you. I was having a really emotional time and I feel like a weight has lifted. You are SO RIGHT. 💜💜💜
Olivia, I watch all of your videos!! Thanks for the real life mom honesty. I lived in socal for 12 years and loved it too, but hubs and I moved back to TN to be near family for our first baby. I have a 4 month old boy now and love hearing all about your mom journey! Keep it up & love to your fam!
Thanks for sharing! I love the fact that you are trying to show us that it’s OK not to be perfect. This is what I am struggling with the most since I have become a mom. Messy house, no real food prepared, etc. and all these TH-camrs make it look so easy! I really like your content and always enjoy watching your videos! 😊
Watching your videos always makes me feel better as a mom and as a person. I love the way you think and all thw tips you give! You're my go to when I have questions about baby stuff. Thank youuu! And yes Christian is my son's virtual friend 😊
Solid advice on starting a channel. I wish I had started 6 years ago, but I was scared. Never too late to start, but would have been nice to have started years ago lol
Love you girl! Fav person to watch in you tube. You’ve really encouraged me and I love learning from you. If y’all ever move to TX we would be friends!!!! Staci from Dallas
Thank you for addressing you change after birth and “bouncing back” I don’t feel the same as before I know my body has changed and it shouldn’t be a negative thing 😅
The best breastfeeding advice that I got was "Don't quit on a bad day." In the beginning I wanted to quit so badly from the pain and feeling secluded because I felt like I couldn't do anything other than nurse. But the lactation specialist promised me it would get better and gave me that advice! We're almost 3 months in now and it is MUCH better. Goal is to make it to at least 6 months!
Girl that was me too!! I would cry while feeding and at the beggining all I could think was make it past the 1st month. But it gets easier and you learn to love it. Im now at 13 months and I feel soo accomplished. So keep it up ypu're almost there.
I teared up when you mentioned the baby fever of Christian turning one because of the ending of the baby phase. Oh my gosh I relate so hard. My daughter is 11 months and I am so. freakin. emotional about it. It feels like everything is ending because I don’t know anything about the next phase and I’m trying to control it and keep it all the same when I need to let go of what was and be happy we made it here. Anyways, love your content, love your heart, and wish we could be friends in real life ❤️
I’ve been watching your videos for a long time and I’ve never noticed you hand tremors! There’s always more interesting things to notice in your videos. Xxxx
I live in San Diego and it’s so expensive! My husband is in the military, so we got stationed out here, but originally we are from NY... omg what a difference! Cali is way more expensive than NY! I always say, I’d stay in CA if the housing prices were cheaper
Omg the thing I hated the most was people telling me I need to formula feed bc my boobs are small (went from literally no boobs to a B) and I can't produce enough milk for my baby, bc that is science.. and formula after 3 months is better for the baby. I hated it, meanwhile my baby is like 75% for weight and 80% for height on just breastmilk. But of course people are always going to have something to say.
It cracks me up that people comment on TH-camrs consistency with posting videos. Like...why do people care? Why do they even notice? Sorry rant over. I am surprised that you don't make money on this as I've heard people with way fewer subscribers than you, who do make money. You do you..I agree!
Thank you so much for the support!! ❤️ I’m fortunate that I do make money here on TH-cam but since SoCal is so expensive it’s not quite enough for me to do this as a job and continue our lifestyle as is. If I were in Ohio I could, so sometimes it just depends on location and the cost of living 😊 right now it’s just like I have 2 jobs! I appreciate you being so understanding!
I'm gonna be honest, I didn't even notice the hand tremor, but most of one side of my family has it, so that's probably why. I've noticed my hands develop a tremor after having my LO, so the next few years will be fun XD
Great questions and answers! And I don't know if it's the extra few pounds you've said that you gained, but I think you look especially beautiful in this video.
I don’t really comment much, especially if I don’t have anything nice to say. But seriously who asks “why do your hands shake?” I totally understand that it bothers you when people ask, it would bother me too! I’m sorry that you have to deal with that, but you are handling all the negative negative comments so we’ll. It’s sad to hear “it bothers more people than it bothers me” like why would that bother anybody? This is beyond me! This isn’t something you can control! Oh my goodness! I’m really bothered to see that question! I’m sorry I just don’t understand why people ask stuff like that! That’s like asking someone that has one leg “hey where is your other leg? It kind bothers me that you only have one leg” for example maybe they were born like that or maybe they have diabetes and they had to have it amputated! Who knows! Somethings you just don’t ask unless the person just talks about it. I noticed that your hands shake and it reminded me of my mom cause her hands shake like that! She’s always been like that. But it never crossed my mind to be like (hey Olivia, why do your hands shake?) Olivia, I think that question bothered me more than it bothered you lol the person probably meant well but still....
I was hoping that breastfeeding would help me lose weight but it’s having the opposite affect on me. I lost some weight initially after giving birth but no matter how much I diet or what I do I can’t lose any weight right now because I’m breastfeeding. I’m hoping when I’m done I can lose the rest 🤞🏼
Ashley Turco that happens to me too. With my daughter, I dropped that last 10 pounds within 2 months of her weaning ❤️ hoping the same thing happens after my son weans too!

I hear you with the advice and stress. One thing I look forward to with baby #2 (someday) is I feel like I’ll be so much more chill!
I love this!! I think it's great that you showed us that life is not altogether.

Love your channel! I’m a new family vlogger here on TH-cam! ❤️
I loved you showing the view of the room 🤣 looks just like my house haha
I'm gonna be honest, I didn't even notice the hand tremor, but most of one side of my family has it, so that's probably why. I've noticed my hands develop a tremor after having my LO, so the next few years will be fun XD
I have the same hand trimmer.
Great questions and answers! And I don't know if it's the extra few pounds you've said that you gained, but I think you look especially beautiful in this video.
Love you 💜
I'm very interested in the milk catcher thing but I'm nervous about it showing through shirts, etc. Any tips?
It totally is noticeable in shirts! I think with layers like a jacket or thick sweater it might work, but I always used mine at home!
Olivia Zapo Ahhh ok
Do you give Christian any cows milk? If not, is there any way you get extra calcium into him (other than with breast milk)? Xxx
We give him a blend of cashew/almond milk and he loves it! It has calcium in it so it's great for him having in addition to breast milk :)
I have tremors in my hands too. I don't like being asked. I've eve been yelled at to stop but I can't.
That's awful! I'm so sorry you've dealt with that. You're not alone and it's totally normal!
I don’t really comment much, especially if I don’t have anything nice to say.

Yes I’m breastfeeding my 6 month old and my body is holding on to weight! I hope to lose the last bit of it once I stop breastfeeding.
Same girl, same. Im 4 months into breastfeeding baby #2 and weight loss isnt happening. I remember this happening with my first as well.
