You are such an inspiration 🕊️ being in my Bible everyday, grabbing the word before I grab my phone has been the biggest blessing to my motherhood. With God I can do all things, without Him I'm lost.
The way I ✨needed✨ this encouragement as a mama of two and pregnant. U 👏🏼 ni 👏🏼 ty 👏🏼 in the family. Thank you Milena and thank you Lord for Your work through this wonderful woman.
#5! As a mom of 4 I agree with alll of these! People think we're crazy for doing life WITH our kids as well. We homeschool, are entrepreneurs, we travel, all with our children. It's different to what I was taught as a first-gen Latina but this is what God revealed to us as we have made him the core of our family unit and lives. Great video!
Im 26 and just had my first baby in February of this year. It's crazy because you released this just as i started second-guessing myself. God really works in his own good time! ❤
I'm a 38 yo first time mom to a 15mo. I shifted from a career life, moved abroad to pursue missionary life and had our baby last year. It's been challenging! but I LOVE your approach and it is SO SO useful! You inspire me in my motherhood.
Isn’t it crazy that what we call “distractions” (watching tv, scrolling, eating junk food) to distract us from worry actually distracts us from what cures our anxiety and worry? Which is spending time with God.
I’m 26 with a 2 year old and an 8 month old. You had me tearing up at the part about involving kids and letting them choose the pace. I definitely get caught up in my own timeframe and I needed to hear that! Thank you for this video!
Don't have a husband or children yet but I am soaking up your wisdom girl your videos have been sanctifying me in the best way possible. Thank you for loving the Lord with all your being and displaying it in your actions, wish we could sit and have coffee together. I feel like I am preparing for whatever the Lord is preparing me for which is to someday become a wife and mother.❤
Something that I’ve been doing with my son is just being interested and involved in the things he enjoys like Minecraft or building with legos. I find that by being involved and interested it lets him know that I’m there and also to have him explore different things even if it’s not what other kids are doing.
You are doing a great job influencing so many women! I find myself viewing my marriage & life duties sooooo differently now! Even took my physical Bible out for the 1st time in years
Prayer walks are something I started in 2020 and o have continued to do them as a new mom. Just 30-45 minutes can change your whole day! I did it while I was pregnant and even when my daughter was a newborn I carried her in my arms and just prayed. I do this daily ❤ Pls pray for me and my daughter as I go back to work on the 14th after having the blessing of being able to have an extended maternity leave into 6 months of her life. Also that she starts sleeping through the night. I have loved breastfeeding and keeping that closeness I’ve made a bond with her, but I know for both of us to thrive and not just survive we need sleep.🙏🏼🙏🏼 thank you and God bless ❤
I haven't watched your videos in a long while and this has left me so fulfilled and encouraged! We recently adopted our son who is now 7 months and I've found that it's incredibly easy to put the baby on a "pedestal" per say. I know the order in which God lays out in the Bible and yet it is still so easy to mix things up. I loved the reminder so thank you. I'm definitely saving this one as I know as my boy gets older, I will need more of these truths.
Just want to encourage other moms too- I cut screen time about two weeks ago and at first it was tough. He would tantrum and want it but after a few days of this, he realized it wasn’t coming back and was totally fine with it and doesn’t ask anymore. The craziest part is- his play changed. He would constantly want me to play with him and be entertained and now he goes and plays independently, or will go put his storypod on, and he’s fallen in love with reading and we read at least an hour a day. So it will be ROUGH at the beginning, but the reward for your child is so sweet.
Oh and lastly, I think you and Katie from the Now that we are a family podcast are the two wisest moms on TH-cam and it would be so fun if you collaborated
I sooooo needed this today mama it’s 10:30am here I Just now Got a chance to drink my coffee after re heating 3 times and what a joy to find you speaking on what I have been having issues w mama love u Mi❤🙏thank u for being obedient to the Lord and becoming the mama other mamas like myself can turn to for true Godly mama inspiration❤🙏🥺I recently became a widow in 2020 n since I don’t ever plan to remarry (yes never my hubby was my true God sent sweetheart)I struggle with being a single mom of teenager one special needs 21 yr old daughter and two younger ones 5,7 son and daughter but the Lord has blessed us in many ways I will always be grateful counting you n your channel amongst those blessings❤
Our story is quite similar in a lot of ways! I’m also 26, I also had my first at 21 and I also had 3 very close! (All within 2 years and 10 months) my first two same as you were very close together! So that was fun to hear and go me too!! And I also 100% agree with what you have said - thank you for boldly proclaiming biblical truth ❤
Thank you for this video. I am pregnant with my second and my daughter just turned one. Anticipating two under two has rocked me but I know it is a challenge that is ultimately good for my soul. Mentality is so pivotal to motherhood because we have so much freedom in this role. But the Bible is full of instruction and encouragement and it really helps to know that it is good, important, and seasonal work.
I turly love way ypu have allowed the Lord to change your minset . Im on this journey with joy and contentment with all the lillte thing wife and mom's do daily. Thank you for sharing🌺
I’m about to have my 3rd in November and I’ve been worried about that family shift but this has made me excited for the changes to come! I definitely need to work on being more present and happy with my kids as opposed to thinking I can’t do something because of them. Thank you ❤
PREACH! I absolutely needed to hear this and your message was an answer to my recent prayers. Your content has continued to grow in a Spirit filled and directed way that has been such a blessing to me. Keep being bold Milena. Your content is a light in this dark world. God bless you and your family!
I just turned 24, but I had our first baby today 9 weeks ago with 23. I’m so thankful for you making videos about such important topics. And I’m so thankful that you are making these NOW while my daughter is still a baby and I can start incorporating your habits early enough in my life 🥰 praise the lord! this is a real gift for me 🙏🏼
Milena, I am also a young stay-at-home mom like you and you have been such a blessing in my life. You inspire me to be better. Yesterday, I was feeling so depleted and this video showed up right in time. Praise God! Thank you for doing His work!
I love the encouragement these videos being. Our family consists of two special needs toddlers so practically speaking I am unable to implement a majority of these but I will say I believe spending time with people who pour into you does bring joy and support we needs as mamas. Husband can’t understand all the ways we are pulled, so good friends bring refreshment. Please keep my family in prayer…our boys are 2 and 3 and navigating special needs has its own hardships…but I rest on “He will keep them in perfect peace who’s eyes are stayed on him because they trust him.”
I have three boys. Mom at 19 then another baby at 22 then again at 29. It’s been only two months since I’ve come across your videos. I am feeling so hopeful that I’m not the only one that has gone or going through everything you spoke about in this video. I’m so blessed to have your channel to help me out during my questions on life because other than the word of God I don’t have family or friends to help pour into topics like this because everyone is in their own journey with God and their family but I pray I find friends and family that understand each other in these areas in life and make change for our babies are selves and our partners as well. Ahhh I can go on and on but that you for ur videos. God bless ❤
Thank you for making this video, Milena! Such a powerful message! The entire world needs to hear it! You are a true inspiration and embody what I aspire to be as a mother ❤
Milena you have really blessed my Life. Please dont leave TH-cam . Thank you so much for what you are doing, praise the Lord for leading you so beautifully ❤️
I’ve been watching you since you had your first and now I’m currently pregnant with my first at 22, I also found out at 21! I am just soaking up all this wisdom, thank you for sharing!!
I love that you have gotten into needlework. I also love cross stitching and sewing. I do both of those things around my kids. Get interrupted a lot, but it’s still fun for me.
Mi, I have followed you since I was like 13- I’m now 19- can I just say I’m so proud of you 🥹💓 and I hope to flourish in such a beautiful woman and let the Lord mold me like how you have let the Lord work in you 🫶🏼 love you girl!
This was incredibly so beautiful, so well worded! I feel and have so much connection through the whole video about motherhood and the way I’ve changed from 21 as a mom to 25 as a mom! I loved every second of this❤️ thank you for this video ❤️
Your content has been such a blessing to me lately, praise God 😊. After listening to your recent video with Nava, I’ve been becoming more aware of what could be gossip and curbing my tongue. I already feel lighter and more peaceful at heart.
I can't explain how much this video has blessed me and showed me a different perspective. It is such a blessing to hear from you Milena and thank you for sharing this wisdom with us! ❤❤
This video was so needed for me. I wanted to comment to just say thank you for these encouraging and inspiring videos! I love and appreciate them so much! I pray you continue to be blessed for being obedient and being a light in such a dark world.
Had my first daughter at 19 and I wish I had Christ following friends at the time. I definitely had postpartum and didn’t know. It wasn’t talked about 20 years ago. Love this video and think it’s so wonderful you share all this for Mamas
I needed this. I look forward to these vids all week. I’m having THE HARDEST time right now with my boys 2 u 2. He’s just been sooo defiant and hitting it’s been a rough few weeks 😢 but it will pass🙏🏼
I haven’t watched your channel in a while unfortunately but I NEEDED this…. I’ve been struggling with motherhood and this is beautiful your mindset is amazing thank you so much
Started this yesterday and finishing it now and I SUPER need this I love my babies more than ANYTHING and my actions and attitude does not line up and I HATE THAT! My childeren are a blessing from the Lord and I WANTED them here thank you so much for this I’m actually writing notes to pray before the Lord asking God to change my heart thank you so much ❤
I want to add that I don’t regret having them but I have been forgetting to “do life WITH them” and thinking I need to have them sleeping or having quiet time to do certain things and that’s SO WRONG they are the best little helpers! Another thing I do is get triggered with whining or repeated questions..😔 and so my prayer has been that God strip every single part of who I am and add only him inside because he is the PERFECT parent and the PERFECT everything🤍
I love your heart! God will help you! He’s with you. I’ve had such a hard time adjusting to being a mom and my patience has been so thin in the past. It still can be. But I’m slowly seeing change in myself. Praise God! Just take one day at a time. Apologize a lot. Look them in the eyes. You’ve got this. Praying for you!!
I feel just like that!! Lately I’ve been praying about any mom that would feel like me!! We’re new creatures in Christ! Let’s dress up in that!! Clothe ourselves in it!! God is doing His job in us!! He promises He will finish the work!!
I LOVE the drawings from your kids in your Bible. That has encouraged me to find a note taking Bible (I love mine now, but there's no room for notes :( ) and that will be such a treasure to look back on when they are grown.
Milena, I wish you knew how much your channel has blessed me the last several years. I found your channel a week before I miscarried with my first pregnancy, during the same time my heart was opening up to God after many many years of resenting Him. The way you carried yourself was so foreign and intriguing to me. You truly helped me understand the real character of God. And I attribute my testimony so much to your channel. I adore the evolution of your channel. The fruits of your relationship and love for Jesus are so apparent and every time I watch a video I crave more and more of Jesus in my own life. I pray that I find friends with a heart like yours. I pray that I am that friend. Thank you so much for be such a blessing. I hope you truly understand the effect of the work you are doing for the Kingdom.
This is a wonderful video, thank you Milena! I've recently had the conviction about reading my bible around my one year old. Her nap times are super inconsistent, so I just wasn't in the word because I wanted the perfect, two hour nap. Really I can get a decent 20 minute stretch of her playing while i read- or if she has to be in my lap, I will read to her!
This was really an amazing video to watch. Love all of your examples of how to incorporate motherhood into your personal life instead of keeping it separate..beautifully said ❤
Thank you for your words! I really needed this and i might watch this over and over till I get it right. I been doing the whole opposite of this and ugh I hate myself for it. I mentally have been everywhere and mentally struggling and just this. The lord is speaking to me! Thank you. ❤
Milena, you’ve inspired me this year to grow and be bold in my faith! For anyone interested, I just started my own channel on faith and motherhood and would love to build a community on there with people who love the Lord!❤️
This was amazing, I definitely agree nails salons hair salons are not relaxing at all lol! I love the reminder of how do we want our kids to remember us ❤
I love following your testimony though youtube but wow the change is night and day in the you live your life for Christ and the way you teach your children about the lord everyday through your lifestyle. I applaud you and found alot of inspiration from this video to do better in my life for my household. ❤❤ love vibration
Milena, this is amazing. I wish I would have had this 8 years ago when my first baby was born. Unfortunately as a first time mom I made a lot of mistakes and now I am much calmer with our second child. I feel awful because I was always rushing with my son. I wish I could take that back but I will start being more present/understanding today. Thank you!❤
Lol listening to “kids are so pure” as mine scream at each other over a baseball. They ARE a blessing and they are at times the most innocent little sinners 🤣🤣🤣 They are absolutely the biggest gift other than salvation. They are SUPREMELY forgiving, too. They can be trying to beat on each other and then hugging each other reading books together within 5 minutes. They are the most hilarious and fascinating things I’ve ever seen. ❤❤❤❤❤ P.S. I love that you read your Bible every day because a lot of people take the “motherhood” season off. It’s literally the lifeblood of being a good mom, tho!
These tips are great. Thank you. I haven’t watched one of your videos in a while - your skin and face is looking great , whatever you’ve done to change your look
I love this video and put so much perspective for me and how I think about having my daughter. You are absolutely right. They are blessings. I often get caught in the go go go of life as a full time teacher and full time student that I don’t stop and appreciate what I have. Thank you Milena❤
Wish I had a friend like you cause my “friends” are not “biblically sound” :( I have met girls at church but i always find myself feeling drained while interacting with them because the interaction feels not genuine & requires a lot of energy. I know there are more authentic friends out there who have faith based mindsets but I don’t know where to find them
Milena, thank you so much for these amazing tips! These are life-changing. I am also the same age as you. I have one baby girl who is almost one year old. I am so thankful to learn from you while my daughter is so young. You are a blessing and gift to mothers all around the world. Please keep sharing as the Holy Spirit leads! God is changing my life through the work you’re doing!
Love this!! Just wanted to let you know The sound on this glitched a lot for me, in the beginning and the end!! Maybe it’s just my phone/connection or over lapping on the sound in the video!!
Woww thank you for this video! At first I almost scrolled past because I just knew it was going to be another cliche video but nah… this was exactly what I needed to hear and I’m so glad it popped up when it did! I loved every tip and reasoning behind them and I plan to implement them NOW. Beginning with how I view and respond to my kids pace and bring back my joy for the little things because I never want to be the one crushing their childhood based on my own lack of patience and frustration. Thank you thank you!
Seeing this video makes me think of what my family did when I was a kid that are core memories. I mainly just remember we ate together every single day. Now that we’re older and my sister is out of the house, we really try our best to eat together Saturdays my sister comes over and she eats with us. I try to be intentional about, if I am eating with my family, not being on my phone. My dad is turning 80 in a few months and I am 21 there is probably 2 generations between us and my dads way of being entertained is by conversation, not through his phone and that’s something that I see and I am happy my dad and I are generations apart because I get to connect with him. That’s something I try my best to implement with my boyfriend as well. If we’re together eating I will not be on my phone. I will not answer my phone unless it’s emergent and I pray this intentionality stays, if God wills for us to marry one day because if we are mindful of it, I know we can be intentional with our kids too!
Omg!! I’ve been needing this video!! Thank you so much for sharing your wisdom! I’ve always looked up to you. As a young mom of 2 I’ve been struggling crazy so I really needed your insight ❤️ may God bless you
I think I've commented this before but I'm a pretty new subscriber, I heard about your channel from another content creator Kaci Nicole, and oh my gosh I'm so glad! Your videos are genuinely so helpful.
Milena gbu! I just found out I’m pregnant with baby #3, and would love for you and your friends to cover me in prayer and my biggest prayer is for a healthy baby but I would also love a baby boy 🥰 if you could keep me in your prayers that would be amazing 🥰 okay back to the video lol
Hi Michelle! I’m so excited to read this!!!! Get a Bible and start reading it from the beginning to the end. Don’t be discouraged if you feel like you don’t understand. Keep going. You will start understanding liiiiitle by little. All I can say is that the word of God is alive!!!! However, I highly highly recommend you to start from the book of Romans first and listening to Pastor Paul from Calvary Chapel Ontario. He explains every single book so well that you can’t have enough!!! That’s how I started my journey as a Christian myself. By understanding the word of God by myself and through this pastor’s teachings!!! Plz tell me how you keep going. Keep asking Christians or even this Pastor any doubt you have. It is great to feel the “spiritual hunger” God bless you!! Put your trust in Jesus. I started like you! There is nothing better!!!! Blessings !!!
Really enjoyed this video & my eyes were really opened about certain points you made , looking forward to making some changes & thank you for some of these reminders! 🤍🙏🏾
This is such a great video God is so good. just encourage you to rewatch your video has a few voice overs errors that I thought i had to let you know. Bless you and your heart towards family ❤️❤️
You are absolutely gorgeous, inside and out. I’m so glad I found your channel! Can I ask where you get your clothes? I struggle to find modest, beautiful outfits for my style ❤
How does tip 6&8 look like when you have a newborn/ infant that depends on you for everything including play time and you have to help them develop. Is that a season where you kinda follow their schedule more than they follow yours? I have an almost 6 month old and I can’t figure out how to play with him as much as possible & best for his development in his wake windows, do things when he’s asleep & get secret time in ❤
“Don’t stop living life because you have kids, live life with your kids” I LOVE THATTTTTTTT❤
That was a liiiiine ❤
“If you can be on your phone around your kids, you can be in the Word.” 🔥
You are such an inspiration 🕊️ being in my Bible everyday, grabbing the word before I grab my phone has been the biggest blessing to my motherhood. With God I can do all things, without Him I'm lost.

This video convicted me so much. I definitely need to look at motherhood a little bit differently ❤
Love that bit about kids being pure and content and how they love looking at flowers and the sky ❤
Thank you for how humble this vlog is
I haven't watched your videos in a long while and this has left me so fulfilled and encouraged!

Anyone else get choked up when she said she would show her kids that they were apart of her time with the Lord because of the doodles in her Bible? 💞😂
sooooo many gems in this video. this is legit the best mom talk I've watched. Keep perservering in the Lord. Thank you.❤ Subscribed
Oh and lastly, I think you and Katie from the Now that we are a family podcast are the two wisest moms on TH-cam and it would be so fun if you collaborated

This is all great advice. It’s so hard with 3 little kids trying to work full time, commute, cook, care for our home, read and worship and pray, etc 😭
This was incredibly so beautiful, so well worded! I feel and have so much connection through the whole video about motherhood and the way I’ve changed from 21 as a mom to 25 as a mom! I loved every second of this❤️ thank you for this video ❤️
“Trash tv can ruin your sober-mindedness” so true!
Your content has been such a blessing to me lately, praise God 😊. After listening to your recent video with Nava, I’ve been becoming more aware of what could be gossip and curbing my tongue. I already feel lighter and more peaceful at heart.
I can't explain how much this video has blessed me and showed me a different perspective. It is such a blessing to hear from you Milena and thank you for sharing this wisdom with us! ❤❤
First time mom to a 17 month old. I really needed to hear this today. Thank you.
This video was so needed for me. I wanted to comment to just say thank you for these encouraging and inspiring videos! I love and appreciate them so much! I pray you continue to be blessed for being obedient and being a light in such a dark world.

Started this yesterday and finishing it now and I SUPER need this I love my babies more than ANYTHING and my actions and attitude does not line up and I HATE THAT! My childeren are a blessing from the Lord and I WANTED them here thank you so much for this I’m actually writing notes to pray before the Lord asking God to change my heart thank you so much ❤
I want to add that I don’t regret having them but I have been forgetting to “do life WITH them” and thinking I need to have them sleeping or having quiet time to do certain things and that’s SO WRONG they are the best little helpers! Another thing I do is get triggered with whining or repeated questions..😔 and so my prayer has been that God strip every single part of who I am and add only him inside because he is the PERFECT parent and the PERFECT everything🤍
In the same boat and it’s my BIGGEST struggle but these tips are sooo helpful! ❤
I love your heart! God will help you! He’s with you. I’ve had such a hard time adjusting to being a mom and my patience has been so thin in the past. It still can be. But I’m slowly seeing change in myself. Praise God! Just take one day at a time. Apologize a lot. Look them in the eyes. You’ve got this. Praying for you!!
I feel just like that!! Lately I’ve been praying about any mom that would feel like me!! We’re new creatures in Christ! Let’s dress up in that!! Clothe ourselves in it!! God is doing His job in us!! He promises He will finish the work!!
I LOVE the drawings from your kids in your Bible. That has encouraged me to find a note taking Bible (I love mine now, but there's no room for notes :( ) and that will be such a treasure to look back on when they are grown.
Milena, I wish you knew how much your channel has blessed me the last several years.
I found your channel a week before I miscarried with my first pregnancy, during the same time my heart was opening up to God after many many years of resenting Him.
The way you carried yourself was so foreign and intriguing to me. You truly helped me understand the real character of God. And I attribute my testimony so much to your channel.
I adore the evolution of your channel. The fruits of your relationship and love for Jesus are so apparent and every time I watch a video I crave more and more of Jesus in my own life.
I pray that I find friends with a heart like yours. I pray that I am that friend.
Thank you so much for be such a blessing. I hope you truly understand the effect of the work you are doing for the Kingdom.
Had my second baby just 11 days ago and feeling so emotionally... different and spent this time. Excited to watch ❤
Omg, Im a mom of 3 and this video is giving me chills. I want to practice this. Thank you❤
"If you can be on your phone around your kids, you can read your Bible around your kids".
Oop, convicted 😀. Preach👏🏽
This is a wonderful video, thank you Milena! I've recently had the conviction about reading my bible around my one year old. Her nap times are super inconsistent, so I just wasn't in the word because I wanted the perfect, two hour nap. Really I can get a decent 20 minute stretch of her playing while i read- or if she has to be in my lap, I will read to her!
Amen. I love what you said. I am a daughter in CHRIST 1st!
This was really an amazing video to watch. Love all of your examples of how to incorporate motherhood into your personal life instead of keeping it separate..beautifully said ❤
Every aspect of this video was needed. Thank you so much for this. I will be rewatching this about 5 more times with a notepad 😂
Thank you for your words! I really needed this and i might watch this over and over till I get it right. I been doing the whole opposite of this and ugh I hate myself for it. I mentally have been everywhere and mentally struggling and just this. The lord is speaking to me! Thank you. ❤
Milena, you’ve inspired me this year to grow and be bold in my faith! For anyone interested, I just started my own channel on faith and motherhood and would love to build a community on there with people who love the Lord!❤️
This was amazing, I definitely agree nails salons hair salons are not relaxing at all lol! I love the reminder of how do we want our kids to remember us ❤
Wow did I need this video. Motherhood is so tough, thank you for sharing this truth!
It’s no nice to listen to a mother with similar goals! Thank you for your content
I needed to hear ds.thanks cc."spend time wth ur gfnds"
I love following your testimony though youtube but wow the change is night and day in the you live your life for Christ and the way you teach your children about the lord everyday through your lifestyle. I applaud you and found alot of inspiration from this video to do better in my life for my household. ❤❤ love vibration
Milena, this is amazing. I wish I would have had this 8 years ago when my first baby was born. Unfortunately as a first time mom I made a lot of mistakes and now I am much calmer with our second child. I feel awful because I was always rushing with my son. I wish I could take that back but I will start being more present/understanding today. Thank you!❤
Lol listening to “kids are so pure” as mine scream at each other over a baseball. They ARE a blessing and they are at times the most innocent little sinners 🤣🤣🤣
They are absolutely the biggest gift other than salvation. They are SUPREMELY forgiving, too. They can be trying to beat on each other and then hugging each other reading books together within 5 minutes. They are the most hilarious and fascinating things I’ve ever seen. ❤❤❤❤❤
P.S. I love that you read your Bible every day because a lot of people take the “motherhood” season off. It’s literally the lifeblood of being a good mom, tho!
These tips are great. Thank you.
I haven’t watched one of your videos in a while - your skin and face is looking great , whatever you’ve done to change your look
I love this video and put so much perspective for me and how I think about having my daughter. You are absolutely right. They are blessings. I often get caught in the go go go of life as a full time teacher and full time student that I don’t stop and appreciate what I have. Thank you Milena❤
Wish I had a friend like you cause my “friends” are not “biblically sound” :( I have met girls at church but i always find myself feeling drained while interacting with them because the interaction feels not genuine & requires a lot of energy. I know there are more authentic friends out there who have faith based mindsets but I don’t know where to find them
Milena, thank you so much for these amazing tips! These are life-changing. I am also the same age as you. I have one baby girl who is almost one year old. I am so thankful to learn from you while my daughter is so young. You are a blessing and gift to mothers all around the world. Please keep sharing as the Holy Spirit leads! God is changing my life through the work you’re doing!
Love this!! Just wanted to let you know The sound on this glitched a lot for me, in the beginning and the end!! Maybe it’s just my phone/connection or over lapping on the sound in the video!!
Woww thank you for this video! At first I almost scrolled past because I just knew it was going to be another cliche video but nah… this was exactly what I needed to hear and I’m so glad it popped up when it did! I loved every tip and reasoning behind them and I plan to implement them NOW. Beginning with how I view and respond to my kids pace and bring back my joy for the little things because I never want to be the one crushing their childhood based on my own lack of patience and frustration. Thank you thank you!
Seeing this video makes me think of what my family did when I was a kid that are core memories. I mainly just remember we ate together every single day. Now that we’re older and my sister is out of the house, we really try our best to eat together Saturdays my sister comes over and she eats with us. I try to be intentional about, if I am eating with my family, not being on my phone. My dad is turning 80 in a few months and I am 21 there is probably 2 generations between us and my dads way of being entertained is by conversation, not through his phone and that’s something that I see and I am happy my dad and I are generations apart because I get to connect with him. That’s something I try my best to implement with my boyfriend as well. If we’re together eating I will not be on my phone. I will not answer my phone unless it’s emergent and I pray this intentionality stays, if God wills for us to marry one day because if we are mindful of it, I know we can be intentional with our kids too!
This video really blessed me on my journey of motherhood! Thank you Milena🤍
I’m so glad I found you!!
I had my first at 20 and I’m 24 now having my 4th I can relate so much..thank you
I think some footage got overlapped in the beginning but nonetheless LOVE the video 🤩
whoops yes it does 🥲 thanks for pointing that out!
And in the end too. No big deal though
Omg!! I’ve been needing this video!! Thank you so much for sharing your wisdom! I’ve always looked up to you. As a young mom of 2 I’ve been struggling crazy so I really needed your insight ❤️ may God bless you
Speaking the truth my sister!! Keep encouraging. Love ❤️.
I really needed this video. Thank you so much Milena, you’re truly a blessing 💕
This was your best video! I’m not a mom yet but I’m definitely keeping all of these tips in mind!
Oh yes, that was important for me!!! I feel a lot of it the same, you beautifully named the things. Your journey is inspiring!
This could not have found me a better time 😮
I think I've commented this before but I'm a pretty new subscriber, I heard about your channel from another content creator Kaci Nicole, and oh my gosh I'm so glad! Your videos are genuinely so helpful.
Okay, I think I heard you mention a Bible Crate! Can you explain what that is and what you put in it? I love that!
Milena gbu! I just found out I’m pregnant with baby #3, and would love for you and your friends to cover me in prayer and my biggest prayer is for a healthy baby but I would also love a baby boy 🥰 if you could keep me in your prayers that would be amazing 🥰 okay back to the video lol
how exciting!!! praying for you mama 🤎
@@MilenaCiciotti thank you! ☺️ you’re the first to know besides the hubby 🤭🤫 we’re keeping it to ourselves until we find out the gender
This came about right at the right time for me
This is great, also read “memory making mom” it’s super quick but incredibly impactful and practical
@Milena Ciciotti, I want to start following the lord, but I have no idea where to start...any suggestions?
Hi Michelle! I’m so excited to read this!!!! Get a Bible and start reading it from the beginning to the end. Don’t be discouraged if you feel like you don’t understand. Keep going. You will start understanding liiiiitle by little. All I can say is that the word of God is alive!!!! However, I highly highly recommend you to start from the book of Romans first and listening to Pastor Paul from Calvary Chapel Ontario. He explains every single book so well that you can’t have enough!!! That’s how I started my journey as a Christian myself. By understanding the word of God by myself and through this pastor’s teachings!!! Plz tell me how you keep going. Keep asking Christians or even this Pastor any doubt you have. It is great to feel the “spiritual hunger”
God bless you!! Put your trust in Jesus. I started like you! There is nothing better!!!! Blessings !!!
As a new mama, I can’t wait to watch! 🤍 thank you for sharing your wisdom w us.
thank you for being here 🥺🤍
We changed our kids screen time to Friday movie night only and it’s been a game changer
Really enjoyed this video & my eyes were really opened about certain points you made , looking forward to making some changes & thank you for some of these reminders! 🤍🙏🏾
Where did you get your white top and floral skirt you showed in the video?
Thank you so much for sharing this!
This is something I've always struggled with and it was so helpful to watch.
I can’t even express how much I needed this video. Thank you🥹
This is such a great video God is so good. just encourage you to rewatch your video has a few voice overs errors that I thought i had to let you know.
Bless you and your heart towards family ❤️❤️
You are absolutely gorgeous, inside and out. I’m so glad I found your channel! Can I ask where you get your clothes? I struggle to find modest, beautiful outfits for my style ❤
Such a beautiful video thank you for these special moments you incorporate ✨🙏🏼
How does tip 6&8 look like when you have a newborn/ infant that depends on you for everything including play time and you have to help them develop. Is that a season where you kinda follow their schedule more than they follow yours? I have an almost 6 month old and I can’t figure out how to play with him as much as possible & best for his development in his wake windows, do things when he’s asleep & get secret time in ❤
