Love you. So relatable. Great sketching and great editing too. I loved how you are being your own best teacher. Hope you also give your self some deep space to develop your own fine art in a big way. As you have so much talent and skill, and also that impressive self- discipline.

This is a lovely and honest video. I just wanted to say, you mentioned your half of the mortgage. It doesn't really work in halves now that you are raising a baby. You are the primary caregiver no matter how you try to split it. Whats yours is his and vice versa now you have a baby together.

Congratulations to you both

Welcome back Minnie ❤ Your baby is adorable

Bonjour, j’ai acheté la même imprimante il y a quelques semaines. Quel papier texturé utilisez-vous pour vos illustrations ? J’ai acheté du papier canson premier prix mais le résultat est nul. Je réalise mes illustrations sur’Procreate

Its incredible how beautiful you are when you smile and talk to your baby!

Ohhh i missed you Minnie! I used watch your videos while in university. You used to give me sooo kuch comfort. Im now a professional, a speech therapist but I decided to also start a KZbin channel and hugely inspired by my memories of your videos. Oh i love your channel. Im happy i found your channel again 😍

Ah please make a video on like how your day looks as an artist working from home with a baby … this is my situation, and I could really do with some ideas and guidance 🙈

Welcome back Minnie and welcome for the first time Baby Ro!

Oh my god I’ve been unable to watch much of your updates but wow CONGRATS ON BECOMING A MUM 🥳❤️❤️❤️❤️

So incredibly happy for you. Those little coos make me ache for another baby and my youngest is 18! LOL

Missed you here on YT ! Congrats Minnie from Canada ❤

You look amazing and so, so happy! Congratulations on your little girl! I can totally relate to anxiety just disappearing - I had exactly the same. I used to hate going anywhere on my own; shopping, speaking to people on the phone, organising appointments etc, even going out to work at some of the jobs I did, but as soon as my first was born 8 years ago that evaporated! It’s like they’re the most important thing now, so how can we possibly worry about all those little things anymore! Anyway - it was so interesting to listen to you, and so lovely to see you absolutely radiant! X

Hi Minnie. I totally get the letting go of the worry after having a bub. She's absolutely beautiful. Well done x Nell.

I know a lot of women have the "Getting to know them" form of love! It's more common than you think, and it's really quite a sweet way of loving someone, imo!

"I loved her, but I didn't know her." I love the genuineness of that statement. Congrats to you and best of luck on work, family, and motherhood going forward.

Lovely to see you after ages, I used to watch you regularly. Congrats on having Ro and best wishes for your life as new mum. Nice to see you looking so happy, your daughter looks like a joy. Art will take its own place, and you will find how that works given time. In the meantime just enjoy. This time will go sooo fast and suddenly be gone, make the most of it.

Ahhhh!!!! Just got to the part where you’re reading The Prince of Egypt to Ro!!! Makes my heart so happy! ❤❤❤

Motherhood suits you beautifully Minnie ❤️

It's so refreshing to hear that falling in love with your baby takes time, that you don't necessarily have a sudden spark of inspiration and that it takes much longer than you think to finally start feeling even remotely like a human being 🥲 Also thank you for the productivity tips while being a parent! It's like you gave me confidence to be ok to just focus on one task a day 😂

Hello lovely, it's so nice to see you and Miss Ro! I think I say this every time I watch your videos, but I could listen to you talk for hours, your voice is so soothing. Also love that you're not putting too much pressure on yourself, and you know you're right where you need to be at this stage in your life. 🌻💛🪴

always thinking about you and how you’re doing!! love to hear from you and i LOVE that you’re all doing well! i’ve been here for years, so i can’t help but feel so proud and happy for you <3 cheers!!

Maybe try some upbeat music for Rose alternating with screen time? We loved music and dancing around. I love being a mom. My daughter is 42 now! I am thankful for her everyday. Congrats and you are doing great as a new mom. We don’t get much training for this mom job. On the job training is what most of us get. It works.

I'm only a few minutes in but I just wanted to say the way your face absolutely lights up whenever you talk to Ro is the sweetest thing!!!

Congratulations to you and Ozzie, and your beautiful bundle of joy! You look beautiful, and I'm glad to see you back again. Really enjoyed this video. Best wishes to you all🎉❤🎉

11:00 you sound like my husband who is autistic. Have you thought of the possibility that you might be on the spectrum?

that is one beautiful baby!! I'm so happy for you!

I’m just soooo happy for you and your family ❤ Thank you for sharing all of this, you’ve been always such an inspiration for me, and having the opportunity to watch this new chapter in your journey is a what I’ll call a gift ♥️ Mucho amor para ambas!!

Portrait artist of the year is a massive inspiration for me, it's been pivotal in setting some of my personal artistic goals. I'm really happy to see a new video from you, and I'm looking forward to this new era of Minnie <3

She is so adorable! Congratulations! I understand exactly where you are coming from - when I had my first baby (who is about to turn 21-yikes!) I pretty much became Mom and that was it. My only "me" time was either taking trips with my mom alone or going to school. It was really hard to transition out of once the kids become more independent. My youngest is in his senior year of high school and now I'm trying to figure out how to fill my days when I don't have to deal with school stuff. Working on a MS in Publishing now and will graduate in May, so hopefully writing and reading will take up most of my time. But I also hope to get into drawing, as well. Love your videos and happy to see you back! Just remember it's OK for others to take the baby from time to time. Gives you a break and gets her used to being around people, which is a good thing!

It was nice to see you back , congrats !

Congratulations and you genuinely look so happy! So happy for you and wish you guys the best! 🥰 Also, the most unexpected thing in this video for me was the disappearance of anxiety for you 😂 Taking notes.

You have no idea how much effect you have, seeing a new vlog got me jumped literally.... Wow first compliments to a glowing look, having a baby and adjusting as you can... Thank you for this video to share experience with us is phenomenal and what a lovely surprise watching you

Loved hearing your co-host😊 Welcome back🎉

Congrats Minnie, love from Kenya

Timing was impeccable. I was about to check back into your channel. Congratulations to this new stage in your life! Thank you for sharing your time. I hope you and Ozzy are getting enough rest.

Congratulations!

How are you! Great to see YA!!

Oh, do lovely to see the two of you, too. What a lovely child. Congratulations Ozzie and Minnie. I've been so missing you. Whatever you give us, we'll take it!

UK mat leave is amazing compared to US

Congrats new Momma! Your cycle may have come back so soon because of diet. Good on you not posting photos/images of your baby or her real/full name online!!! You may want to give her/refer to her by her Kradin (day name) based on the day of the week (and time) she was born. We often use the Kradin until a baby has their naming ceremony and as the community name. FYI: I had Twin daughters and managed my art/design studio with two babies on my back and hip living across the country from my Mother and entire family. It's not impossible or hard as new/young mothers want to make it out to be. I never stopped being an artist/designer one day when the Twins came. They're in their 40s now and both are bad a#z multidisciplinary artists too. As a new mother there is NO thing wrong with putting yourself first about certain things so that you won't loose your mind or have a "nervous" or spoiled baby/child. Happy wife, happy life. If Momma ain't happy no one is happy. LOL! Be sure to give Ozzie (sp) his alone man-time regularly and make "date night" time for the two of you without the baby.

Missed you 🩵 I picked up your sketchbook book to try and support you in some silly way. It’s helped my brain lol. I’m not done with the video but I hope kitty and baby are getting along

Am I the only one talking to Ro like she can hear me.

I've been watching your channel for a really long time and I can honestly say I have never ever seen you smile as you do when you look at her. Congratulations I'm so happy for you xx

Congratulations on baby. My youngest is also 5 months this week. And I completely understand about loving and being in love with your baby. Had it with my eldest as well. It's normal

I have that same Prince of Egypt book 🥹 best film. I knew the book off by heart. When I was little I used to act it out while my cousin read it out loud.

Congratulations! Your daughter is adorable and you look really happy, so nice to see. I can relate to pretty much everything you said about motherhood, (especially not being bothered/anxious anymore about 'small' things! ☺️) it's the most beautiful thing in the world, but also the most challenging and difficult at times. My son is almost 14 now, that brings a whole lot of new challenges and worries, but I wouldn't want to miss it for the world. Oh, and it's true; time flies, make sure you make the most of this time in your life!

Congratulations from a long time fan from France ! I follow you since many years now and your work has always inspired me. I'm also an illustrator and a mom of 2 years old that i watch full time, so balancing is my day to day life :) So I wanted to share with you THE book that has help me since my son was about 6 months old in order to live a calm and peaceful motherhood with no pressure. The book is called "Hunt, gather, parent" by Michaeleen Doucleff. I teaches us what ancien cultures do to raises children. It's a wonderful book that i recommend to everyone. Blessings :)
