I have been asking the Lord to make me a joyful mother of children (because I am easily frustrated or short with them lately) and I was so happy to see this video today!! I'm also a brand new Catholic and just started following your channel. 😊
I’ve only recently returned to my faith and the one regret I have now is not having prayer in my life when my kids were smaller. They are preteen now and I wish I there was a hold button on time so I could enjoy them more before they hit teenage years and start to move into adulthood
I so admire your selflessness and the fact that you make the time to make these videos and resources for the community as well as serving your family so thoughtfully. You are a blessing. God bless you!
Heather you are the Best! I am so grateful to God for you. You are a Precious Gift to me as a Mom! May Our Blessed Mother Mary continue to Bless you & pour out Her Maternal Love upon you, your husband & your children. You are a Wonderful Mom & a Beautiful, Blessed Family. I just love you all !!
Love that point you made about how Jesus in his ministry would be with the people but then go into the mountains and how God rested on the 7th day. So important to rest!
Thank you for this video!! I'm only eighteen and I'm not married (I don't even have a boyfriend yet lol) so motherhood won't come anytime soon, but I have the desire in my heart to be a mom one day and I love to prepare myself now while I'm still single and so young so I'll be ready when my time comes. God bless you 💕
Thank you so much for this video! 🥺🤍 I’m a FTM to a 10 month old and postpartum anxiety has been a huge challenge for me. This was so, so encouraging🙏🏻
I totally related to the homeschool comment too about going at a pace that fits them not my schedule. I have such expectations! I need to rely on God and His plan!
Thank you for sharing! I really needed to hear this today! Stemming from this video, would you ever be able to do a video on how you handle postpartum with each of your kids from recovering from a c-section, bonding with your baby, adjusting to a newborn with older kids, and how you candle any postpartum blues. You always are so peaceful and I’m hoping to have a better postpartum experience with my third on the way!
Thank you for your generosity in making these videos. Many of them have been such a blessing in my vocation as a mom and wife. God is sure shining His light through you. Thank you Heather!
Thank you, Heather!!! I seriously needed this video today. Thank you for the reminder to be present in the moment and the emphasis on time for yourself. As a busy Mom, I forget these things sometimes. I am so thankful for your videos.
Hoping someday soon to have children. I am definitely not the kind of women who looks at it as the baby quietly sleeping on your chest, I see the hard work and the struggle and that is what freaks me out. I am terrified by the deep responsibility that this is and how easy it is to be a really horrible mother. Thank you for this video, I needed it!
Great job! This made me think of an older book that I still recommend for parents entitled "You're a Better Parent Than You Think" by Dr. Ray Guarendi. Keep up the good work!
Thank you so much for this. I truly needed this today. I am a working mother and find myself feeling defeated as a parent. I don’t get much sleep due to nighttime feedings and I am exhausted. Guilt sets in when I take any time to myself, away from my kids. Thank you for the reminder that taking time for myself is necessary. I’ll be practicing these great tips!
Bless you for this video. We are praying that God gives us the ability to adopt in this coming year. You are so inspiring. For all those reading this please pray for those with Tokophobia and for all those mothers with depression and anxiety
This is such a beautiful perspective! Thank you so much for sharing, so inspiring! Needed this reminder of the importance of prayer to ask God for grace and joy in every stage of life
Thank you for this, especially reminding us that even Jesus had to rest! Never connected that to me taking time alone. This whole video made my day! God bless you!
I love all the family pictures!! I just sent you a Christmas card. It is super late but the shop kept losing my cards lol!! I loved your idea of keeping all the cards and praying for all the families!! God Bless! I am praying for you and your family!
Love this so much! My goal this year is to be more intentional and patient with my kids. 3rd one coming in March! Would love if you did a Catholic Saint baby name video!
You are so encouraging and kind. Thank you for speaking love and life into social media and using your platform to glorify God! How are you recovering since the baby? Did your blood sugar go back to normal?
Maybe it was just me but I had no expectations during my pregnancy (only have a son who turns 1 Feb 29) and I’ve had no expectations during his first year of life. My husband and I have just been enjoying the ride. However, these tips are still extremely helpful.
Heather I want you to show the big kitchen wall with the 3 pictures.. I want to see the pictures. I have a large wall in my kitchen I don’t know what to do with it
Hi Heather! Sorry if you said this in another video already, but when did you have the baby?! How exciting! Curious if it was in October or November? And, thanks for the tips. I struggle with being joyful as a mom. I'm a bit curmudgeonly (runs in the family!) but that tip about being in the moment... I do try to do that. Like today, my boys danced in the kitchen to their favorite songs while I finished my (cold) dinner. Smiles all around. That was a good moment. :) This video felt like the good old days before we all got married and listening to all of you good holy women talking about life. Thanks for the smile and nostalgia!
I don't know if there are any single men watching this program, in search of serious relationship/wife, however one can discern how religion and attending church can help with giving a person a language and mindset and some interpersonal skills and insights that might help one attracting a partner.
I do wanna write a book containing bible facts in depth. I have been reading middle east countries,and near east countries ancient histories which relevant to the bible
Hello, my name is Alfonso I was wondering if you can tell me how you put the hashtags above the title? When I do it is just bold in front of the title?
Yes you just add it in your description box so if you scroll down in my description box it’s at the bottom, then it appears at the top😁. I hope that helps
I was Protestant, but now, I am catholic. God bless you Heather.
Welcome home...God bless🙏
How did you come to the decision to become catholic?
I am in RCIA now. Easter will be here soon!
Congrats and welcome Home!! ❤️
So happy 😇
Motherhood is THE most important job in the world. ❤
You are SUCH A BLESSING, especially since our society puts less and less focus on motherhood and family!!!
I have been asking the Lord to make me a joyful mother of children (because I am easily frustrated or short with them lately) and I was so happy to see this video today!! I'm also a brand new Catholic and just started following your channel. 😊
Your house looks amazing! One can tell that you studied interior designing, you have a talent for it! :)
Thank you, I needed to hear all of this again!!!
Had to watch this video in three segments because of kids talking to me. I have been working on listening more to them. Thanks for the good tips.
I’ve only recently returned to my faith and the one regret I have now is not having prayer in my life when my kids were smaller. They are preteen now and I wish I there was a hold button on time so I could enjoy them more before they hit teenage years and start to move into adulthood
You can always start with them now (:
I so admire your selflessness and the fact that you make the time to make these videos and resources for the community as well as serving your family so thoughtfully. You are a blessing. God bless you!
Thank you for the tips!! I'm a young mom with a toddler and newborn...been a little stressed out lately and really needed to hear this:)
Hi Alyssa! I’m also a mom of a 2 year old and a newborn and I agree- I really needed to hear it!! Especially now 😊 blessings!
Your baby is so cute. May God bless your child.
Heather you are the Best! I am so grateful to God for you. You are a Precious Gift to me as a Mom! May Our Blessed Mother Mary continue to Bless you & pour out Her Maternal Love upon you, your husband & your children. You are a Wonderful Mom & a Beautiful, Blessed Family. I just love you all !!
Love how you incorporated family pictures in the video!
Thank you Heather. This spoke to my heart, and was just what I needed to hear! God bless you!
I'm not a mother yet, but I love your tips. I love that you love so much to be a mother, your passion is very contagious :)
You have a bet family and a beautiful heart. Praise God and bless you all!
Thank you ❤ May God bless you ❤❤❤🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

Thank you so much for always being so transparent about what motherhood is like. I’m not a mom yet but I love learning and praying for that vocation.
Lovely family Heather, God bless all.
Be patient. Empires are not built in a day
Your gospels inspired me a lot. Thank you so much

Cold meals happen to me too but I try to see it as a moment to reheat it if I can and have that me time or quiet time.
Loved the video!!!
I pray to get a catholic husband. When I become a mom I will be visiting here frequently and the virgin of course
Any tips for working mom's?

Babies are very hard, then they smile at you.
