For my 65th birthday my husband gifted me a mini facelift this past year. A couple of years ago I had tummy tuck and before that I had a breast reduction (from E to D) and lypo. So you go girl. DO IT NOW DON'T WAIT. As far as the pain and discomfort, I put it this way It's the price of beauty and my state of mind. I 'm so glad I did. So, you go right on ahead and take care of yourself. You will feel better physically and mentally. DO IT!
All i can say about the recovery is that it's not that bad! Be sure you have a way to pull yourself up out of bed cause those abs aren't going to be working at first. Also found it helpful to keep a small pillow around to keep on my tummy (while laying back on the couch) since animals and kids don't understand they can't hurl themselves onto you like normal. That's it! Worth it. Worth it. Congrats.
I think it’s wonderful that you are taking care of your body after carrying your sweet babies. I have realized the importance of this after our second baby. I have been at the gym consistently for the past two years for my own physical and mental health and I would absolutely do surgery as well if I wanted/needed it. Love your videos!
Good Morning, Denise! Listen.... totally understand you wanting to take care of you! It's your body and none of our business! I will pray for you, but Denise GOD and those doctors have you honey! Hopefully, you won't be in a lot of pain, but regardless I understand you missing vlogging. YOU COME FIRST! Take care Denise, you will be in my prayers! ❤️🙏🤗
I didn't even know a mommy makeover was a thing!! Girl you are going to have me looking into this for myself. You are such a strong mom and a beautiful soul I love your channel!
One more piece of advice (for post surgery): watch one of your videos and take note of every time you bend down in your normal day. Like when you are handling your plants. That will hurt after surgery. Maybe prep by getting them set up temporarily up higher for watering, etc. :)
What a giant task to clean with four little people and the dog Denise you deserve some "me time" I wish you a speedy recovery and little rest when you come out of hospital. Live long a prosper guys your videos make me so happy to see such a great set of little people all willing to help (love seeing the boys walking ).
Hey. You deserve every second of you-time. I strongly believe that your self confidence & hapiness will allow your children to thrive even more than what they already do. Let no judgement make you doubt yourself. At least you managed to get back into shape after all your pregnancies. How many of us can say that. All the best & many prayers for this journey & recovery ahead
Denise, you already look so amazing, but I can’t wait to see your reveal! Praying you have a speedy recovery!! Thank you for all the motivation you give me every Sunday! ❤️❤️
Denise you deserves everything that makes you feel good!! Glad you're doing something for yourself, I'll pray you get through it successfully, And I'm really looking forward to seeing the remodeled kitchen
Denise I just love the interaction you have with your children while your doing your filming. It was so sweet watching the boys with the mirror. Really all of the kids just so fun to watch while you're cleaning. They just grab their little rags and start cleaning with Mommy. So so cute!
Happiest of birthdays. So sweet the boys kissing themselves in the mirror. Take care of yourself. Prayers for a successful surgery and speedy recovery.
So HAPPY to hear you’re taking care of yourself. Thank you for normalizing how our bodies change after childbirth. I can’t wait to see your mommy makeover. BRAVA!
And oh my husband just actually taught me a few days ago that you can use an exacto knife blade to help take off any stickers or gunk off of glad a mirrors lightly and it shouldn’t scratch your surface! So easy and you don’t need anything else
I keep meaning to tell you that I took a screenshot of the name tags for your stockings and sent it to my friend as I knit a Fair Isle Christmas stocking for her that didn't have space to knit a name on it. She loved your idea and purchased some that were very similar off Etsy!! So thank you so much for that fabulous find. Thanks for sharing your day and your littles. Christmas clean up is one of my favorite things to do as it is an opportunity to change things up for the upcoming seasons but your videos always inspire me to get things done!! I am so so so excited for you that you are taking care of you and am praying you have a speedy recovery!! You go girl!!! You've got this!!!
Take care of yourself after your surgery don't overdo it. It's your body and I'm happy that you are doing things to keep yourself healthy and strength Is something you really need with your tribe !!
Prayers and support for your upcoming surgery. Praying for a speedy recovery and some well deserved rest. Glad you are taking care of what you need. Have a great birthday weekend.
I always enjoy watching your babies (fur and human) toddle after you as you work! I could only imagine the chaos. You just keep on keeping on. Great motivation. ❤️You didn’t owe us any explanation. Your body is yours and none of my business. With that said, I hope you have a safe surgery and speedy recovery.
HaPPy BiRtHDaY for the 26th gorgeous girl, I am on the 27th! (the big 50) Good for you for taking care of yourself as you see fit. So proud of you. Good luck I will be praying for you. Much love xx
I wish you a very happy birthday weekend! Prayers for a speedy recovery from your upcoming surgery. I’m happy that you’re taking care of yourself this way. I had twins a long time ago and I wish I could have had this “tune up!”
I am one who prays and will do so for your upcoming procedures. Blessings to you for putting yourself out there. Can't wait to hear your comments afterward.Take care.
Good for you for doing what you want with YOUR body!! Hopefully everything goes smoothly and you have a quick recovery. I’m excited to see those kitchen cabinets!
I wish you a happy birthday in advance! In my opinion you are a great role model to many. So thank you for showing us how important self-respect is! All the best for the surgery!
Sending you prayers and positive vibes for a speedy recovery from your surgeries!! Who cares what others think! Trust me, if I could, I would be doing the exact same thing!! You go girl❤️❤️
Denise, this was so enjoyable to watch. The children are so sweet and you really do have your hands full. I love how the boys are cleaning and they are just one. And Lennie is so precious always wanting to clean.
Clean sweep for January 2022!! You’re home is beautifully decorated. Your children running around cleaning is Priceless!!! So adorable. The year has sped by! Twins will be 1🎈 Blessings to you & ur family! 🙏😘 God speed in ur self care journey!!!
Good luck with your surgery Denise. I will miss my weekly video check in with you and my inspiration. I really admire you for taking great care of yourself and don’t let anyone make you feel bad for being the best that you can be. I cannot believe those boys are walking already !!!! Send you lots of healing hugs 🤗
Hey Denise and family really enjoying watching the kids help u clean now that's adorable and u really whipped the house back into shape good job PB 👍🏽👍🏽❤️❤️
Take care of yourself because you have those precious kids. Time goes too fast so make sure u enjoy it with lots family time. My oldest is 39 and my youngest is 27 of 7 children. I now have 15 grandchildren whom I've homeschooled my 7 kids and now 13 of my grandchildren and I can still remember the first time I held each and everyone. I have loved the good of it and the not so good it was to make us stronger as individual's and as a family.
I'm so very jealous of your plants. And the space you have to keep them in. They are gorgeous. Girl you go take care of yourself. You do you. I've said it before. It's just too important. I can't believe the boys are walking. Your kids are so adorable. Great video. Great content. I def will be praying for your quick recovery. Lots of love.
Happy Birthday for tomorrow Denise. Love all your posts, always filled with awesome ideas and inspiration. Looking forward to your kitchen transformation. Have a blessed weekend x
I had a skin removal and muscle tightening surgery after losing 100 lbs. The first 2 weeks are the hardest but it isn't too terrible. Make sure you have a good recliner or reclined space to rest in. You will notice the difference in your muscle strength for sure. Good for you for doing this for yourself. Moms have to care for themselves too. Good luck!
So happy that you are taking care of you, praying for a quick and easy recovery. Take your time and come back to videos when you feel the time is right.🙏🏻💕
Happy birthday! I cannot wait to see the kitchen make over! I laughed out loud when you were putting the noodle on the fireplace and one of the boys was taking it off as fast as you were putting it on! We have a raised brick hearth and when my daughter started walking she fell and almost hit her head. We called a friend and he made a frame and covered it with carpet. It just looks like a step. We still have it up 30 years later. People use it to sit when they come to visit.
Good luck with your operation, we all need to put more energy into making ourselves feel better and I'm glad you're getting the time to do this, it's a strain putting your body through one pregnancy let alone 4 but you're a fantastic mummy to your beautiful babies now give yourself a boost xx
It’s so awesome you are able to give yourself a refresh on your body!! 👏🏻💕 Yay for you, we are better mommies when we are happy and pleased with ourselves. I pray all goes well for you and that you have a quick recovery! 🎉🥰
I'm so proud of you for taking care of yourself 💖...I'm a 65 year old mother of 40 year old twins, I wish I would of taken better care of myself! Also when you had Ellis up to the camera I got this huge smile on my face...thank you for that😊
Good luck with the surgeries and the recovery! You deserve to feel good about you and you have put your own body on hold to have those babies and you are an amazing momma and put it babies first so don’t let any negativity effect you getting urself back in a feel good place ❤️
I'm relieved to see that I'm not the only one who lets the Christmas decor linger until near the end of January. I used to not take it all down until Superbowl, but Superbowl is now held is way later than it used to be years ago. I still have a lot of vacuuming to do, plus taking tape wrapped on my hand to the furniture to remove as much glitter as possible, as even multiple times with the suction thingy on the vacuum cleaner hasn't cleaned it all up. It has spread through the house, it's everywhere! Your video was definitely motivating!
All the power to you for taking care of you. Best wishes for a speedy recovery.

I was just thinking about how amazing you look after 4 kids! Girl, do whatever makes you happy!! ❤️❤️

My Christmas decor is stored, but my tree is still up and decorated for Valentine’s Day. That way we get to enjoy the lights a bit longer!
I love that! I bet it looks wonderful!
Good luck with your surgery and recovery

I didn't even know a mommy makeover was a thing!! Girl you are going to have me looking into this for myself. You are such a strong mom and a beautiful soul I love your channel!
Denise don't ever apologize for doing anything that will physically and emotionally make you feel better. Best of luck on the surgery.
Girl do you. You deserve it. 4 kids in 3 years PLEASE Sending prayers for a speedy recovery. God bless you and your family🙏🙏🙏🙏
