    Hi Sierra, I know you love factor (I love them, too!). Microwaving food in plastic releases PFAS "forever chemicals", which have been shown to be endocrine disruptors that contribute to things like PCOS. They are banned in many countries but not the US. Just wanted to let you know so you can reduce exposure to endocrine disruptors

    Can I just say, You are one of the last TH-camrs I am subscribed to and enjoy watching. Yes, you have been really successful but you still seem so real. I do lot feel used by you. So many creators do so many sponsored posts, plug so much stuff, feel like they hide their real lives and feel so fake and not genuine anymore. But I watch you, and you feel so much more real. You share about your life in a way that seems private, but we still see the ‘real’ you, and your real life. Fridge magnets and real kids paying in a used toy room. And happiness and struggles and everything in between. I hope you know how much it’s needed and appreciated.

    Hi Sierra! I've been watching your videos since your "how to dress" days. I've loved watching you grow into your own self over the years and watch you become a parent! Seeing Grace put a crown on Bella with a ballerina tutu on reminds me of Bella Dancerella (Especially the Cinderella one)! She might absolutely love it! I grew up on those DVDs when I was her age and I think they might be on youtube!

Or you just didn't like that option? I see you waking up before anyone else and going to bed last, trying to fit work here and there and I cannot think on how demanding that is for a new mum! ♥️ sending lots of love ♥️

I’m so happy for you Sierra and I love that you got your two little perfect baby girls, I’ve been watching since before you got pregnant with Grace and you’re just an incredibly strong woman and an amazing mom. Also love that we saw more of Alice in this vlog she’s so cute and looks SO much like Grace did as a baby!! (since she’s usually just brest-feeding and in the carrier so we don’t really see her much) Also Grace is just such a fun little girl, and she’s so smart! She makes me not dread the toddler phase after I have a baby that terrifies me because of my friends daughter😅 😂🩷
