Most definitely Motherhood is not for the faint of heart! You are doing amazing, minus lack of sleep! Dinner looks good. Noah is so adorable and likes broccoli, that’s a good thing! Glad you got to take a walk, it does refresh you! Fresh air doesn’t hurt either. Thanks for sharing. Hope all goes well later! ❤️🤗🙏🙏🙏

[@TheCozyCottageCrochet]

He does love his broccoli! Honestly just any food in general 😂 Taking a walk helps me so so much.

[@apotter1440]

Motherhood is not for the faint hearted! I love how the government supports the family. Many years ago when I was starting my career in early childhood education it was determined that early education is essential for the child and family’s future. So far little has been done for the past 50 years😢.

[@TheCozyCottageCrochet]

Ugh you are so right! We know what helps families and what will help our society but the government refuses to make any progress in that area. Booooo

[@virginiakroll1581]

Nice to see you and your adorable baby boy and of the beautiful daughter Please take care of your self❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@TheCozyCottageCrochet]

Thank you so much!

[@AeroLuvrr]

Hannah, I love all the breads you make, and I am going to buy those books as soon as I can afford them and make some of my own. 🥰 motherhood can be hard, and we all lose lots of sleep, but before a blink of an eye, they are grown. I am glad you’re going on the walk made you feel feel better. Hope you had a good nights sleep! ❤

[@TheCozyCottageCrochet]

You might find the books at the library! I bought the first one regular price but the second book I found at a bargain store for just a few dollars. But I was going to look at the library too!

[@AeroLuvrr]

Thank you I did look at the library and do have the one with the refrigerator starter, which is what I would love to make first, but there are too many pages for it and I don’t know how to copy all that to a printer. Great idea for bargain bookstores I will look on some of them on Google.

[@TheCozyCottageCrochet]

@@AeroLuvrr you can download an app called Cam Scanner and then take pictures of each page and the app will combine it into a pdf that you can then email yourself! I did it once with 20 pages and it came out great 🥳

It is so hard being a mom. The hardest thing I've ever done. Im so glad you share some of the difficult parts and feelings. Its good to see that others share the same. I think for a long time most moms kept that part quiet, but its good to see more and more people talking about it. Especially for soon to be moms to see.

[@TheCozyCottageCrochet]

It’s for sure the hardest thing I’ve ever done too. I wish more people would talk about how hard it can be, because I think there’s this pervasive idea that you have to enjoy everything and be present all the time and do all the things!! And if you’re not, then somehow you’re failing and missing your kids grow up. But that’s nonsense. This actually IS freaking hard, and it is for almost everyone. And we’re still great moms 🩵

[@manuelab1677]

It's not easy! The babies are so adorable! I hope things get better for you!

[@TheCozyCottageCrochet]

Thank you so much! 🥰🥰

[@LB-Laurie]

Being a mom is hard work but you are such a amazing mom your daughter is the most adorable lil girl ever Wish I i could sit in star bucks and the exact same thing haha ❤ Nova is the best sister ever

[@TheCozyCottageCrochet]

She is pretty adorable 😅 saves her life daily

[@nicholegemmill3229]

A vlog?!?! What a treat!!

[@TheCozyCottageCrochet]

🥰🥰

[@mercedesdeavila6307]

Hannah, I would totally help you out if I could 😊 Being a mom was hands down (for me) a very challenging phase of life. As moms we just want to do the best for our kids, and push through the days when we get little or no sleep, but have to rememberthat self care is so imortant as well! You're a great mom! Hugs!

[@TheCozyCottageCrochet]

You are so kind 🥰 and I totally relate. Being a mom is so hard because it never stops, no matter what happens!

[@alisavanrooyen1030]

Oh Hannah,I so wish I was right there to give you a couple of extra helping hands! Remember,this too shall pass. As someone who struggles with depression at times throughout my life, please don't think I don't understand. Reach out for help, wherever possible...there are people out there who want to help make things easier for you. Take care my friend. Enjoy your beautiful family while they are so little...it disappears much too quickly.

[@TheCozyCottageCrochet]

Thank you so much 🥹 you are so kind

[@leslief.3137]

Take good care. Hugs

Loving your bread baking journey! I've been seeing your breads on instagram and thinking I need to get back into bread baking myself. The loaves you made in this video were epic!

[@TheCozyCottageCrochet]

Thank you! They were so tasty 😍 and yes you should definitely bake some bread for you! Nothing is better than fresh bread and butter

[@lindadavinson2793]

My grandmother used Tell me to use Castor oil on the baby's stomach and back after a bath. And it helps them move their bowels. Maybe this would work for your little wine.

[@TheCozyCottageCrochet]

I have heard of that! I will try it

[@ZebraKitten]

Hannah have you thought about the Loop ewarbuds? I absolutely love mine, I've got 3 different pairs and I wear mine probably more than I don't, even when I'm home alone but for when over stimulation, omg they are invaluable! The sleep ones, I don't know what I did before I got them. I really think you would benefit from them. Thanks for an unexpected vlog!

[@TheCozyCottageCrochet]

I did have a pair of loops and I liked them! I don’t like stuff in my ears but they weren’t so bad. They helped a lot with the noise. But they got lost 😭and I haven’t bought another pair yet because they’re fairly pricey

[@lissac67]

Your bread looks amazing. Is it gluten free? I know you were trying to eat to address his tummy issues. If so, can you share the recipe?

[@TheCozyCottageCrochet]

It's not gluten free! It has regular wheat flour in it. He is not allergic to gluten, just dairy and soy. Are you gluten free? If you're not I can still send you the recipe!

[@lissac67]

@@TheCozyCottageCrochet Gotcha. I couldn't remember the things you found. I struggle with gluten, but the bread looks yummy!

[@mbohl7149]

What kind mat were you rest on and where you get it at?

[@TheCozyCottageCrochet]

It’s a Prana Mat, and if you google that it will pop right up for you! There’s also a lot of other companies that make similar mats so you could google acupressure Mat

[@mbohl7149]

THANKS

Sounds like Noah is going to be a good eater. My middle was like that. Full blown meltdown at 18 months because I wouldn't give him any of the chicken that I had ready to go into the oven. Sorry baby, no raw chicken for you. Also he would grab handfuls of Lima beans and eat them like candy. Hang in there. Hopefully the rest of your childcare free days get better.

[@TheCozyCottageCrochet]

That’s hilarious 😂😂 I wonder if Noah will be the same way!
