You two are a breath of fresh air in a world that has lost it's way with what's most important in life. Family life is everything! You guys are just MEANT to be parents!
Beautifully said 👏they just are
I agree 1000% with the above comment!❤
Agree so much!
I lost my dad in November.
It’s brought all of our family closer.
My parents are now together and I know they’re proud of love ties.
We love you guys so much!!
Haven’t even finished the vlog yet and I just had to share how much that clip of y’all sitting on the kitchen floor eating with Smokey and he’s moving his little hands up and down smiling warmed my heart. God bless your family always! Such a wholesome moment.
Hey Julia! It’s crazy that you touched a topic I’ve also been experiencing. I’ve been getting closer to God and I can definitely see the Holy Spirit convicting me from tv shows that aren’t really good. I feel so much better than I did before and I can also see I have less anxiety. Blessings to you and your family
I deeply resonated with the social media chat, it was spot on for me. I’ve been feeling this way for more than a year, about feeling like my time is being wasted scrolling on social media, or watching certain shows, which I have stopped and even hanging out with certain people. I don’t have kids yet, but I do feel this inner shift where I crave more real, positive authenticity in my life.
Thank you Julia for talking about it. I had no idea what you had been going through too. Wishing you and your family lots of peace and happiness and meaning in your life 🫶 ❤
Just had my second surgery for endometriosis so that my husband and I can have some babies. We’ve been trying for three years, the first year felt like pressure and “business” like you said, but we just tried to keep our focus on dating and showing up for each other. We were intimate every other day just cause that’s our rhythm! We discovered my endometriosis and now that everything is fixed up, our doctor is confident that we will have kids. Also just trusting Gods plan!
Im 46 tomorrow actually and hearing you express how you are craving more Real, positive and fulfilling moments even more as you get older is so relevant in my life.
The older I get, especially after I had my beautiful daughter my love grew more & more for my personal relationship with Jesus and being a light in this world.
My purpose is to live for my creator, encouraging others in my everyday life and leave a amazing legacy!
I want the same for my daughter, she is 19 and life just flies by so so quickly 🥹🥹♥️🙏
Your a amazing momma and love how authentic you are 😊 Blessings from Oregon 👊☺️
Amen!! Yes and Yes!! I love this :)
I love this too! This family is special and I so hope they are part of a Bible believing and teaching church family. They are role models needed in the church.
Happy Birthday Melissa!!!🎉
I feel like such a broken record but I absolutely love the transparency from the two of you on this channel! I don't have children but can 100% relate with what Julia shared around tv/social media. It's totally fine and fun to indulge in mindless tv and social media sometimes, but with age, you realize just how much more there is to life.
I think you should wait to have baby 2 and give your baby smoke all the love and attention right now
When smoke is about 3 or 31/2 years old then have baby 2 you have your hands full now everything at it's course God bless you all in the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth amen 🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑🌈
I hope your sister is doing ok ❤ it’s the worst when a sibling is in pain !
I know it’s so sad 😭 😫
Please watch The Chosen! It’s the best show 🥰 New season will be out in a few weeks, so it’s a great time to catch up!! 🙏🏼
I got pregnant when my daughter was 14 months. At first I was so worried, they’re now 9&7 and it’s been the best thing. They’ve always had a playmate, they’re very closer relationally. Every family is different and however you do it will be perfect for your family. We still travel so much. We have a mini farm in Iowa with lots of animals and we split our time in Nashville. Just encouraging you that you can do it and it’ll be great. Whenever it happens 🤍🤍
This is so kind thank u!
So many friends have had more of a challenge when adding second.
My brother was 7 years older, my sister 5yrs. Brother & sister always closer.
I have twins and if I’d started earlier I’d say yes to 4, two years apart.
Dear Julia.,
Your are on your way ! You are growing and prioritizing what is important to you -hubby and cutie pie Smokers. Your social media channel is what you do for work it does not define who you are. Keep on keeping on !! Feed mind and your soul. Your are a young intelligent beautiful wife-mother-daughter-sister etc. Be proud of you. Good job young lady!
Julia thank you for being vulnerable, it’s so beautiful! I’ve been following your journey into parenthood (I had my daughter a couple months after Smokey) and I can relate to so many things you guys do and feel. I don’t know how to put this, but nothing like parenthood to make you look at life through such a strong lense. I will say that I’ve been feeling called for a deeper purpose myself and have been leaning on God and wow has it been so life changing. Jesus has given me so much joy through the messes and peace when I’m not supposed to have it. If you’re searching for those things, ahh it’s amazing. Thank you again for being a sweet light on here ❤ thinking of you guys 10:29
I love how real and honest you two are. It is like a breath of fresh air to see people living normal lives.
My son and daughter are 20 months apart and they’re now 10 and 12. The absolute best ever! They’re so close and love each other tremendously. The jump to two is always a little scary, but they’ll be best friends and get to grow up together.
The kitchen floor moment warms my heart so much. Such a beautiful family. I love that literally everyone is in one frame. 😊❤
I really really hope your sister finds comfort. I remember the vlogs with her were my favourite. She had such a bright light I hope it doesn’t fade away.
Strength and love ❤
I can totally relate to the social media and love island chat! I had a baby 4 months ago and then my brother unexpectedly passed away a few days after I gave birth. Those two major life changes immensely shifted my perspective on life. I feel so sacred about my time and really cherish moments that make me feel whole, so watching shows that make me feel empty no longer work for me.
JuJeee says "My goal is to be happy." Me too Sister. Amen!!
Thanks for Julia and Hunter for showing your heart and mind and Family goals on the channel.😁 It's Very wholesome!
Amen about the show not giving 👏 I totally relate. You want the real bread, the bread of life if you know what I mean. The world is being shook a bit, and these gentle tugs to be dialed in as a parent and child of God is a good thing. ❤
I can relate so much to your comments about how your mindset has shifted once you become a parent. You truly find your purpose and its throws everything into a better perspective!
I agree with you on all of your feelings when it comes to growing up and being a parent, social media, life, being too short, and that we need to embrace and cherish every moment with our loved ones, because every day we are getting older, and our families are getting older❤ I suddenly lost both of my parents two years ago to Covid, and they were young and healthy and living their life, and it can stop in a blink of an eye, so we need to embrace and cherish every moment with our loved ones❤❤❤😢
I’ve lost both of my parents but at different times, 15 year gap. I cannot imagine losing both very suddenly. I’m so so sorry for your loss. I do believe that those we’ve loved and lost don’t go far, they remain with us guiding us and helping us and watching over us ❤❤❤
I feel you. Lost my mom this year and i really feel how life is going by so fast. You just don’t want to waste time on things don’t matter. Love these chats.
Julia puts her thoughts into words so eloquently and I admire her so much for that ❤
Oh I laughed and then cried at Smoke trying to walk!!! I’m a grandma experiencing this from a far from my grand babies!!! It was soooo cute!!
I got pregnant when my first was 7 months. I was TERRIFED. Now they are 21 months & 5 months and it’s the best thing literally ever. I’m obsessed & would do this age gap again in a heartbeat !!
I really enjoyed this vlog! I appreciate you reiterating that what you see online is basically so warped and distorted on what real life is. Everyone has their challenges and their goals, I think that was such an important message to put out and to be kind!❤️ it is so cute watching Smoke, having kids changed you….but in the most positive ways! You truly realize what is important and what you want to be spending your time doing. My husband and I are older parents (compared to people we grew up with) so we are in our mid 40’s with an 11 year old and 9 year old boys. They are such amazing people and we don’t WANT to do anything without them. Time goes so fast, we are also so grateful that we had them close together in age. They are 21 months apart in age so they have always been into the same things at the same time. Also, that wood store is AWESOME! What a cool find in Nashville! Thanks for the video Julia and Hunter!
grief is extremely hard and impacts your life in so many ways. It really makes you get a grip and focus on what matters 🤍 praying for you and your family, any death is difficult and finding a new normal
My sunday just got better because of this cute little chat Julia! ❤️
Go for two under two!! It’s busy at first, but gets so fun as they get older! It’s nice to get the baby years all done and over with too 😅
I hope your sister is okay and I hope you are too Juj ♥️ You guys bring so much light to so many peoples lives, thank you for sharing so much and spreading your positivity in this world that seems so lost 🙏🏼🙌🏼
I just tuned 43 two days ago, our children out in there early 20’s! I just love how you chatted about wanting more real and wholesome moments in life! I am not a reality TV person and it made me smile how you “dont “relate to the show Love Island as much anymore. And that you just aren’t “connecting” to it. It’s such a beautiful thing to grow and desire more fulfillment in life :) Happiness is based upon your situation but JOY is chosen & intentional, its not easy but its a game changer!!
They’re def born with their lil personality. Things my daughter does she also did as a baby under a year. I have an ultrasound pic with her hand on her cheek. She’s 10 now & still sleeps with her hand on her cheek, always has. My other daughter & my son’s personalities as babies show the same now. It’s the best 🫶
So happy you have found your “Why” There is nothing as important than family. My babies are 28 and 26 and I now have two amazing grands. It’s like I get to redo all the things and my heart could not be more ful! Soak it up mama!
You sound like me talking about life. As I’m getting older life and time left has became so precious to me. I’d say I have overwhelming anxiety about wasting time because we have such a short time here and I don’t want to waste it on things that don’t matter.
This was so wholesome, smoky is so adorable 🥰
Love the talk .. it hit me to the core. I went thru that with shows , friends. Hobbies etc. and I figured out now that I have two teens and I quit my job after 20 plus years .. that I’m going thru it again. Even with shows I feel a shift
I just love you guys, like genuinely! Your presence on social media is so appreciated because you do it so differently. I can watch you guys and not feel like I need to play catchup. And I love celebrating your wins across the screen! I'm only 21 but I had to grow up fast, so I very very slightly relate to you Julia! There are so many things we find ourselves getting catch up in that literally don't matter. But God created us for connection and love and I really really want to dial in to them. And take care of people. There is so much love to give and receive and I do not want to miss it.
Julia, there is never a time I don't learn something from your vlogs. I am much older than you and Hunter but yet when you have these chats with us I connect with you. That being said I want you to know how good it makes me feel. There are days I am so lost. I have a lot on my plate. I am not one to talk about my life so I park it and forget it. It is a way to deal but not healthy. When i hear your chats it just reminds me that we are all going thru things in life. Having money can make things easier but it still does not take away daily struggles. Thank you for always reminding us. It brings calm to my mind and I appreciate it.
Your take on time is of an essence is so true. Before I was a TH-cam junkie. Content, hauls, everything. Now it’s so rare that it piques my interest. I’ve had a mental shift since getting married and trying to conceive , with several road blocks, surgeries, etc and trying to build a career to afford all the TTC cost we’ve suddenly embarked upon. Different priorities. No more engaging in unfulfilling experiences.
Smokes stole the show with his smile and laughter, so adorable 😊
You guys can totally have more! You’re such strong people. Having kids is hard, but just like a work out or studying, the more you do it, the stronger and smarter you get! It’s such a cool process. I have babies 18 months apart and then 2 years apart: if you want three… id maybe spread them out a bit more. Sometimes we felt very overwhelmed with three young, but the first two being close is pretty awesome and manageable.
My sister and I are only 18 months apart and have been besties since I was born! We have always been super close so I think that’s a huge pro to having them a bit closer in age. We have always been experiencing life milestones around the same time and I always have someone to lean on and talk about those with. So so special!!
“When you’re in it, you’re in it.”
Amen. I’m a mom of 3 kids who are 21 months apart each. You’re already in the groove of life with a baby, adding another just fits.
Whatever you decide, and God allows is exact the His plan.
I love seeing you all thrive as parents! Ours is 9 months old and we decided to go ahead and have another because our baby is such a social baby and we wanted her to have a sibling she could be close to. It also helps when the routine doesn’t change too much so no one has to feel like they’re missing out because the newborn schedule is so strict. Either way, you all are GREAT parents and any kiddos you have will be loved!
Starting to begin planning our first baby for the end of this year and watching you both slay parenting and seeing what balance really looks like is so encouraging. Makes me feel so at ease watching you guys go through all of the phases of having a first baby. So truly thank you🤍 cheers to so many babiesssss 🎀
Random but I love the outro/ b roll music you guys choose! Always relaxing and uplifting.
I don’t have kids, but i feel like i noticed a similar shift in myself as far as what i consume growing in my 20’s… there is only so much energy and emotional investment i can give after adulting all day so i don’t want to spend it on shows that lack substance… beautiful message Julia about finding the joy & how we are all doing our best i really appreciated it!
OMG! I can't believe that Smokey is almost 8 months, seems like it was just a few months ago when he was born. He's such a happy baby.
BE COOL, BE NICE! I love y’all and how transparent and real and open y’all have been on this journey of life and now since being parents! I say this all the time to my mental health clients! Social media is not real life! ❤❤❤
Speaking on the love island topic. Feels like the grief you’re experiencing and trying to navigate has just dulled some of the things that used to bring you joy. I’ve been there and some of that returns eventually. And sometimes grief just sharpens your priorities and you move on from things that no longer bring you joy ❤🫂hope you find peace during this period of life
I love how you two are as parents.. it just seems so natural and comes to you guys so naturally.. you guys are going to have a blast when your kids get older.. great parents you are.. and with booker in the mix! Such a great precious family! ❤❤❤❤
Love the deep convos. Everyone has something going on and it’s so hard with social media because usually it’s just everyone’s happy highlights and can be hard. I’d love to see you guys grow back into your faith or maybe you guys are and love to hear about it.
This was one of my favorite videos of yours. Been watching you guys for a while now with my mom and my sister and we always get excited when you guys post!
We love when you guys speak about life. Julia we feel everything you said when you were doing your makeup! Spot on!
When is your next spritz and chips?! And also can you post what songs you used in this video? 🩵😊
I’m being induced either tonight or tomorrow because I have preeclampsia and just watched this as my last video while getting ready for my last OB appointment. It was definitely the perfect one to watch because of y’all’s last conversation. Made me more excited to become a parent because honestly I’ve been so scared/nervous this whole pregnancy!
I appreciate the honesty in parenting and about social media ❤I think we all love to watch reality TV to check out so to speak but does come a time where u are like what am I filling my cup with and I want to come back to Nashville just for Ramen!
Smokey is just perfect!!!! What a beautiful happy baby. Warms my heart to hear him laugh ❤
It’s so true with aging… us, our parents, our spouses. Then adding kids to worry about. I feel like I just worry all the time about all that could go wrong in LIFE. It’s exhausting, for everyone. Thanks for sharing ❤
Loved the chats. From prioritizing the very important things, to being kind/positive & next sib for Smoke. Beautiful mantle….the color & markings on it is so pretty.
I can watch Smoke allllll day!!! He is just the most adorable thing ever❤….cant wait for baby #2 🤗 my daughter was only 7 months old when I became pregnant again. It was the best experience ever and they are the best of friends now. Julia, thank you for your wisdom and inspiration. We need more of you and Hunter in social media. 😊
I'm not even a baby person ... more a toddler person, and I am in love with Smoke. He is the cutest and so happy. You two are adorable parents and a beautiful family.
My kids are 22 months apart. It was tough because I had 2 c sections but I really loved them being little together.
Smoke is so smart he is so ready to run and play and learn I adore he is so adorable
Who else loves those intimate conversations at the end of the videos?!!! We love !!!! 😍😍😍😍😍
So weird I’m just now getting caught up in the vlogs after losing my mom suddenly on the 18th…. And I am going through it as you can imagine and on top of being a wife and mom of 2 young boys. And everything is so different now how I view life and what I’m doing in life etc etc so I needed this 🫶🏻
In life, we all go through phases . It’s all about relating. When you have a baby , time is so precious you are now responsible adults ❤ just a new beautiful phase in your life together ❤
Thank you so much for sharing this at the beginning of your video. I am almost 25 and just bought a house with my boyfriend and we are getting a dog and even though they are exciting things it is reminding me everyday like holy cow life is real! We aren’t kids anymore. Change is hard no matter how good the change is. This was a reminder that I’m not alone. You’re doing great Juj ❤
Your growing and learning every day you have a good head on your shoulder. You and Hunter are doing a great job!
Julia we had babies around the same time last May and all of your content has resonated with me soo much. This honest chat hits deep. Sending all the love
I definitely understand about perspective changing when you become a parent! You mature so much. 😅
yes i agree with everything you said. i cant get to watch a show cause when my baby is sleeping i feel like i have alot of more important things to do. and same i had an uncle pass away from cancer and he had so much positive and wanting to live so that change my perspective of how i should be so thankful for life for health and stop worrying about money. we have been in such a rough enonomic situation that its been a while we do something nice or buy something we want cause money has to go to mortgage or light. but i do think this is temporary and everything will get better❤
My older 2 are just 4 days shy of being 2 years apart exactly and it was definitely hard, but sooo sweet when they were tiny. Now they are 7 and 5 and they fight all the damn time 😅 we had a bigger age gap with our 3rd (4 & 6 years difference) and it has been so fun watching them as fun, protective, loving big siblings + they genuinely love to help which is a bonus!
The kitchen scene where y’all are on the ground with the fam, brought tears so my eyes how SWEET🥹❤️
Loveee watching you two be parents! ❤️🥹
Thank you both for sharing such wholesome family moments with us all! It makes me soo happy to see it 💘
My brother and I are eleven months apart, and because we were so close in age, we got to experience everything together. We were always best friends and are to this day. I knew I always had him to talk to in school and go to football games with him. When we were kids, we would play together, and now that we are adults, we have similar things going on because we are the same age and can relate to / help each other. Whatever decision you make, it'll go amazing; I just wanted to share my experience.
Smokey is soooo adorable, cute, and one of the sweetest baby boys I have ever seen.😄😮😊
You guys have entered your family era 🩵🩷 my husband and I have a 2.5 year old daughter and we have more fulfilling moments when we do things as a family than spending time with people who aren’t on the same journey. Shows too haha I feel so old seeing younger people on dating shows. Figuring out when to add a second child to the mix is always a conversation because everyone is so different. I think even at her age she’s still little and needs us a lot they develop the most in the first 3 years so my heart and mind can’t wrap my mind on a 2nd just yet. We are hoping to start trying next year when she’s 3. Then she will also know about what’s happening and actually know we are bringing home a sibling 🥹
Life has been feeling sooooo heavy. It’s really hard to not let it stop you. Trying to move through it with you! ❤
Hi! Love you guys! I just want to say as a mom of 4. 1st two are 18 months apart. They are the best to each other. They grew up together basically. And after having 1 the second is nothing. Lol proud of how you are transitioning and changing naturally with your content!
Smoke's face at 20:08 I CAN'T 😩 And again at 26:40 UGH he's so sweet!!!
I never comment on videos but y’all deserve it. Obsessed. Anytime I’m anxious I literally go in bed and watch you guys. Love the humbleness and life lessons lol. This world is cray and it’s true everyone has their own version of hard. Hold your head up girlie life is hard but we choose what we make of it 🤍 xoxo
I’m here for the philosophical get ready with me chat. Agree 💯
I believe Smoke will be walking early.. and you blink & they're running 😊 I had mine at almost 21 mons apart - and i loved how close they are, still are as young adults! Loving these night-night Chats, very Sweet ✨
We all go through those moods, everything your experiencing is perfectly normal. But the more you dwell on those moments, the more it sucks you in
My first baby is 14 months.. found out I was pregnant this last weekend with baby #2. Wasn’t trying. Wanted to plan to have 2nd baby when first baby was around 2 years.. but it is what is.. it was a surprise for sure but I never went back on birth control so it can definitely happen unexpectedly lol. But they will be close in age and I think it will be so much fun! Love you guys so much! Beautiful family, love watching you guys 🤍🤍🤍
Definitely have momma guilt because I feel like I haven’t had enough time just being a family of 3 😢 but when you think of it, I will be pregnant for most of 2024 which we will cherish being a family of 3 and soak it up while we can. Ready or not, it’s happening but I love this season of like we are in!
I’ve always seen you guys as living by the beach. You guys always seem SO happy when your by the beach❤
Smoke is a pure blessing.
Love this Vlog! Took me back to sips and spritzer days in the Texas home. Enjoy watching the growth and changes!
Loved all the deep convos!
My first son was 9 months old when I got pregnant. Then he was 18 months old when his brother was born, they were best friends, they got along so well. You may think two would be a handful, but it’s not, it was fun. You guys are good parents, but it helps Smoke is such a good baby. He’s not a crier, he’s a good boy, your lucky.
You guys make my day just love you to pieces Best parents ever Smokey is,adorable he fills me with joy he is so precious ❤❤❤
Thanks for saying take social media with a grain of salt.. and it only skims the surface ❤ so true .. people get caught up and make up their own ideas about people and their lives
Love that colorful cardigan!
Smoke is the absolute cutest
10/10 for the music choices. Thanks for sharing.🫶🏼
I absolutely LOVE seeing y’all as parents and listening to y’all talk about parenting and the entire experience. As a mom to a 13 month old, I fully relate to your thoughts about life etc from the beginning of the video. I’m due with my second (surprise baby) and they’ll be 20 months apart. At first, I was scared that my first born won’t get enough one on one time and still be so young when the second comes. Now, I’m very grateful that we didn’t even have to try (first experience was an 18 month long journey) and they will be soo close. Little besties. So, I think it’s scary to think about at first but the pros vastly outweigh the cons. It’ll be hard in the beginning but it’ll be so short, we will just embrace it! The right time happens when it happens. Little Smokey is the cutest!!
It’s going to be beautiful! Congrats and you got this!!!
Smokey is so cute! I noticed that a lot of baby toys are not including primary colors anymore. Primary colors are so important for babies development. Thought I'd share cause it was something I didn't noticed until it was brought to my attention.
My almost 5 month old LOVES our spatulas & a bag with 1 tortilla shells on it bc it makes noise. Thats what she plays with the most. 😅
First off thanks for your videos!!!
I have a 5, 3, and baby Smokes age. I LOVE the close age of my first two! They are tight.
Also I now as a mother can't sit to even watch a show. There's always a mom thing to do!!
Thanks again guys!!
omg juliaaa the long floral dress with your short hair is just so beautiful !! I love that look on you 💕
True story: I started my son in an activity center at a very young age. At 4 months he was very strong and his grandmother decided to put him in a walker because he was already able to hold himself up and the way he moved his legs was advanced. From there on out he gained strength and momentum and learned how to work his leg muscles. At 6 months old my son was able to walk. I had never seen nothing like it! He will be 17 on February 3 and he hasn’t stopped being advanced since birth.
I've been watching your videos consistently for years now and I love the fact that you guys changed a lot, but you're still the same. If that makes any sense ☺
