*REAL* MORNING ROUTINE WITH A TODDLER

[@northeastgirl100]

Felt inspired to comment after reading a not-so-nice comment. I think the routine/day in the life style videos are nice because they offer a window into other peoples ways of life and let us all know that what we’re dealing with isn’t unique. I have a 16 month old so I am in the thick of it too and I find these videos super comforting.

[@brittanybalyn]

I personally love them too ☺️🫶🏻💞

[@minazafar6893]

I agree. I love them. Makes me feel not so alone with my 17 month old LO

[@brookeward1070]

Agreed. My babe is 12 months old and it’s cool seeing these.

[@JuliaInPink]

Your videos are so relatable. Even the tiny moments when Arrow is just being a typical toddler by not wanting the beanie on is so refreshing to see. I love real vlogs by moms. You really show a realistic day in the life .

[@rachaeltrujillo9960]

Walking the dog in your robe is a whole mood. I felt that lol we have a lot of similarities in our parenting style and routine. My girl is 2 now! Love your channel. Hang in there mama! You’re doing a great job! And your hugs and kisses hats are adorable even if she didn’t want to wear it lol

[@Thelilmissbz]

I live for these, it’s nice to feel human 🥺 sometimes as a toddler mom we give ourselves so much crap, but you’re doing great 🥰 love from HTX.. come to Houston one day!!!

[@eternalgrowth7122]

yess i feel this girl. this is truly so similar to our morning routine. it’s nice to know even though we feel alone doing it, there’s literally millions of other mommas experiencing the same thing, kinda crazy to think about haha. oh & im from h town too! 🤟

[@kerrynoconnor1738]

oh my goodness, the way she held onto you when you grabbed her from her bed was so sweet! I've been watching you since last year, I had my baby boy September 3rd, 2 whole .months early. The Drs call him miracle boy because he has no issues. I love watching the dynamic between you and Arrow and I always think wow Joseph will be that big someday soon. love your precious videos!

[@MsTeeGatlin]

Did you cry writing this ?? Because i cried reading it lol

[@courtneyscott13]

Thanks for sharing these moments!!Arrow is a gem, and mom you're doing great

[@stephaniemckenzie108]

I FELT the figuring out what they want to eat struggle 😂 EVERY. DAY.

[@rachaeltrujillo9960]

Yess! Lol me too and the pre breakfast snack. It’s real man

[@cbusta703]

I can’t believe how big Arrow is getting 😫 her putting herself down for a nap. Melt my heart.

[@cheryl3316]

She is so precious. I love that she eats everything you give her. My 24 month old is so picky. Such a punk. Lol

[@jennyupabove]

Arrow is such a snuggle-bunny. Toddler cuddles are the best!! XX

[@amberf8487]

I love this style of video vlogs without the speed and music it feels more real ❤️ i love arrows hair coming in! Looks darker?!?

[@ASMRKay_]

“Order for Arrow” Haha I appreciate how you show ALL sides of motherhood.

[@shaunagoralski2610]

I would love to see a video on snacks. Go to snacks for at home AND on the go snacks!

[@brieestar0307]

I feel like I’m watching myself when I watch these videos I have a 22 month old girl & I feel this so much ❤️ so real and raw

[@AppleLeaves]

Same here!

[@dawnforlife]

So good to feel like every mom is facing the same thing!!!💛

[@leenymick7745]

Love this video. Goes to show all babies are different. While my daughter is a couple months younger than Arrow. She says at least 30 words by now. However when i saw how independent Arrow is i was amazed. I still have to rock my daughter to sleep and hold her for naps/ she has to sleep in my bed at night. Trust me i tried keeping her in her crib for that first year and lost sooooo much sleep. She would literally wake up 10 to 20 plus times a night. I finally just embraced her clingyness a couple months ago and get alot more sleep now! I know she will eventually grow out of it and then one day when she is miss.Independent it will hit me that i want my little baby back.

[@leslybeatrizclausenguerrer2247]

Aaah yes! My girl is 16 months old, the video was like watching me and my baby, but same as you, she just sleeps if I’m next to her (she still breastfeeds). And she says a few words in Spanish and German (she’s being raised bilingual 😵‍💫)

[@raecat90]

Her smiley outfit!! Such precious memories

[@mscydlee]

New subscriber here! I’ve been on and off watching your videos. Not only do I enjoy watching your videos but I love reading comments of other moms talking about their journey on parenting. I have a 16 months old daughter and currently 36weeks pregnant! My husband is away on overseas military assignment and I’ve been feeling so alone😭 and exhausted. But watching your videos and reading comments of other moms help me feel like I’m part of this strong mommy community! Haha thank you always for keeping it real!

[@littleowl02]

Thank you for this video! My baby is 14 months and I’ve been watching you since I was pregnant. Sending you good vibes, strength and I hope you know what a great mom you are! Arrow is amazing!

[@MsUndead96]

As a mom of 2, I love watching ur journey of getting comfortable in ur new mom “skin” 💜 Arrow is such a cutie! And so expressive.

[@MsGoldieFish]

Brittany she is sooo precious and so big and smart!! I mean look at that face!!! I found your channel when I was pregnant and I think you were pretty far along already so i would binge watch all your pregnancy and tip videos while I was pregnant. Now my daughter is almost one and I have been watching all the videos from you I missed. I wish we could be mommy friends 😢 Just your journey of becoming a single mom and everything, you are so strong for Arrow and you help me be strong too. Thank you for your videos always☺️❤️

[@Dana-mb1hd]

Brittany I just adore you! I have been following you since you were pregnant and shortly after I got pregnant! You are a huge inspiration to me! Thank you 💜🙏

[@brittanybalyn]

❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@ivy3986]

you guys always have the best outfits! and her little vans omg 😭❤️

[@niasia408]

Love the realistic vlogs! I too have a girl toddler(20 months) and can relate to your content.

[@CrAziiSuP3rGiR7]

My son is almost two and I feel the same! 🤣 it’s such a tough time

[@rebecadflores4288]

The toilet paper had me dying!! My 15 month old daughter does the same. Why are they so obsessed? Love this kind of content! 💕💕 keep it coming!

[@bernicescheffler8421]

This is so spot on! Thanks for sharing! Feeling seen. Motherhood ♥️

[@HollyBaby20]

The way she crawls into bed for a nap are you kidding me 😍😍😍

[@brittanybalyn]

🫶🏻

[@abbers9542]

I would enjoy a grocery haul video, for u and Arrow😊

[@brittanybalyn]

That’s a cute idea! 💞

[@Emma-mm3mc]

So relatable! Fellow toddler mom here 🙋🏼‍♀️ i felt sorry for your back (and mine) from all the heavy lifting! We really do have to be so strong as moms!

[@samanthakemp460]

Love watching what you feed her! We are trying those waffles! Never thought of putting honey on her yogurt. I'm struggling to teach her how to use silverware and she still needs to sorta be rocked to sleep. My daughter is a year and 2 months. 😊

[@brittanybalyn]

That’s totally normal! I think eating at the same time as arrow helped prompt her to want to use silverware :)

[@annarocha3254]

Nothing wrong with her being rocked to sleep IF it isn't a problem for you. :)

[@dawnforlife]

My 18 month old still nurses to sleep! I think that’s normal that she wants to be rocked!☺️

[@Marieeeeeeeee]

@@dawnforlife mine does too!!

[@gunshotxromance3]

My 18 month is still being held to sleep. If I just put him in his he just cries and screams. It’s been what works for us since he was a little baby and I’ll probably end up doing it until he doesn’t want it anymore 🥴 It’s habit and I enjoy the cuddles lol

[@GalvinAshley]

Omg how did you get arrow to willingly go to her bed for a nap?! And you just leave?? I love it! Tell!!

[@brittanybalyn]

It’s the only time she gets a paci, and so when I hand her the paci - she knows it’s nap time!

[@GalvinAshley]

@@brittanybalyn oh that makes sense! My daughter stopped taking a paci early on

[@bethanywarner4218]

I’m commenting late today but wanted to say I enjoy these videos! Please continue to make them. I’m sorry people have to be negative. My feelings are if you don’t like them don’t watch them! You have the right not to watch! Thank you again for all of your hard work In putting these together! Have a great day!

[@peppapig2831]

Just love your videos! You are inspiring me so much, thank you 💞

[@xochitlfalcon4318]

I love this. Thanks for sharing with us.

[@NicoleLottLife]

Toddlers are the most indecisive creatures on the planet🥲 Lol. The beginning part where you’re infront of the fridge and asking her what she wants and she says no to everything…relatable lol

[@amynye7218]

So relatable!! And now my eldest are 10 and 13 and I am the most indecisive one of us three 😂

[@MultiDaisy1995]

This is a very realistic day in the life as a mom. Girl, you’re doing great! As a mama myself- I was tired for you. That’s A LOT to get done in a day. Especially, solo.

[@86zari]

Your videos bring me so much calm and comfort. As another single mum to a toddler, just means a lot to see relatable content 💜

[@mikat2782]

Love these vlogs, so calming to watch!

[@AppleLeaves]

Absolutely! Me too!

[@chelsichristensen]

relate so hard to you exhaling as soon as you got her down for a nap 😂

[@dawnforlife]

I exhaled with her 😂😂😂

[@chelseawelch3229]

I’m a single mom and my son just turned two and I can relate to this so much😆

[@juliapalacios6274]

Omg so cute how she goes to bed!!! I'm dying!! I hope my son will do that one day.

[@hangrybear]

Thank you for posting your real life. It means so much to me to see my life in a different light. I don’t have any friends who live similar life as mine right now, lol so you’re def my virtual mom friend.

[@marianasanchez7800]

Omg how did u train Arrow for her nap time?

[@dizzlecookie]

Love her vans! Those are super cool 😎

[@stinastouch3119]

so authentic. was really interesting to see your day

[@love_nyc_]

I'm curious what your kitchen island looks like, I would love to see more! Its so cute!

[@muvachells4163]

Hi! New subscriber here I absolutely love your video it is so natural and relatable. Not to mention your baby is adorable, keep the great videos coming 🥰

[@woowoowitchymom]

Have you tried using a sound machine? The Hatch is great, and you can raise the volume from your phone if you feel like you’re getting too loud!

[@hilaryyoung6912]

Love your videos-been watching you since I was pregnant and now he’s 18 months! Your mornings look so similar to ours ❤️

[@desirekite1991]

Our family says Diapey too haha love it. I love your routine, Very relatable 💛💛

[@nevimjaka]

Oh good... So it's not just me 😅 love this type of content. Just a real life. Refreshing 😊

[@brittanybalyn]

❤️❤️❤️

[@nourabinhumaid1865]

About the noise when she naps, it really effect from the very beginning, a lot of parents disagree with me but I would do it to all my other babies I used to let her nap in noise and when it’s night sleep it’s quiet And guess what! She’s 22 months and sleeps over fire alarm, music, sun, tv Literally everything !

[@thebridgmans2024]

Loved this vlog, it comforted me a lot because my days with my daughter look a lot like that ( minus the car and Starbucks 😂) I loved how she was staring at the vacuum cleaner it was so funny 😂💕

[@talkingtoalison]

I used to watch you when i was in high school!! Can’t believe you have a little one now! Time flies!

[@238Tina1]

That nap in the end went flawlessly 😍🥺

[@mosaik33]

I'm 3 minute's in and I can totally relate to you... Thank you for sharing. ❤️❤️❤️

[@sharrollins]

New subscriber🙋🏽‍♀️ Your routine is almost identical to mine and my daughters morning routine(excluding walking the dog-we don’t have one yet). Thank you for sharing🤎

[@Pinupred21]

I love all your vlogs!

[@alondrayjoseserrano300]

Thank for this video my baby girl is 16 months and I have been trying to get her to keep a schedule and it’s been difficult as she has been taking a nap whenever she wants I do make her a good meal and give her a shower so she can be relaxed but sometimes it take 2-3 hrs❤❤ for her to get her nap time. I was so surprised how Arrow she just went straight to her bed it shows how well you take care of her and have her routine.

[@Mac22a]

ya girl knows what she wants!! love these vids xxx

[@sarahwade8278]

So relatable. The snack struggle haha

100% my 17 month old when I'm trying to decipher what she wants to eat 😂.

[@shalibakes8440]

This was lovely to watch xxx

[@colbybilbrey722]

I’d love tips on getting a one an a half year old to bed on a good schedule without a bottle I’m struggling 😭

[@amandafinnegan3094]

Too adorable! She’s your little best buddy. I love it. Why do you fridgerate her paci? I’ve never seen that before.

[@brittanybalyn]

Haha it just become our routine when I weaned off the paci for awake time! When she wakes up - I always go straight to the fridge and offer a pouch and she will freely hand over the paci for the exchange! If I leave it out anywhere else she will want it.

[@solowres]

How do you keep your apt clean?! Do you do dishes after every meal? I’m taking notes.

[@brittanybalyn]

Yes I always make sure to wash everything right after use! But it's definitely not always perfectly clean. I tried to make sure everything has a designated "home" so it's quick to organize. I also have a robot vaccum/mop that does my floors for me every single day. I do let it get messy with toys throughout the day and do a pick up when it's bedtime :)

[@valentine4599]

Omg how do you get your toddler to easily take a nap or lay in her bed on her own. I currently have a 17 month old and we are struggling with naps

[@anad5238]

Awesome video🤗

[@janethernandez896]

Hey Britt I have a question on speech therapy because my son is around arrows age and he doesn’t say anything really so I just want to know if speech therapy is working out for you and arrow so far

[@tinesrensen3684]

I SO get the walking the dog in a robe LOL xD

[@lisaa.333]

I have a happy day and super I wasn’t good mum or my daughter was changed I don’t know whew day. And I was struggling most of end of the days :/ Your video gives me super energy and I can feel and be motivated to do more stuffs with my daughter who is one month younger than your daughter Ty for making so many great vlogs. You and your daughter’s days are super beautiful. Love and kisses to you ❤️❤️❤️ dipping jam and not eat best part is every day 🥹🥹❤️😂 Unexpected daughter is eating her dislikes vegetables instead of pancakes is also happened 😅

Love this video! Having such a hard time with my son who will be Two in June. Tantrums all day because he doesn’t speak yet but has opinions 🤣 thank you for sharing, her picking snacks is what we go through all day! 😅

[@simplymyra3162]

how our kids have grown. We had our babies the same year and now look at them.

[@SammiDesire]

Toddler life, I think my Daughter is the exact same when she sees chocolate, everything else seizes to exist.

[@brittanybalyn]

She knows all chocolate, even if she’s never seen that kind before - I think it’s the foil wrapping lol 😅

[@AppleLeaves]

My toddler is the same!

[@KylaG2445]

Omg it’s honey. I thought you were putting ketchup on yogurt 😂😂😂

[@pcuell00]

How was the transition from "closed" crib to the open one? My baby is the same age but refuses to sleep, I mean she always cries and try to go out of the crib before falling sleep, not matter how much we wait she wont ask to sleep (soooometimes, like once in 2 weeks she may ask, but it's not the norm)

[@eshal3553]

I wanted to ask if she still drinks milk ? And if you stay with her till she sleeps ? My daughter is 21 months soon 22 and have now a new born too it’s really hard to sit with her till she sleeps while the other cry outside (I have no help) and how did arrow stopped drinking on a baby bottle ?

[@dawnforlife]

No clue but sending a hug!

[@TheRachelHaircut]

I have exact same situation. My son is 2 years tomorrw and my lil one is 5 months. I still nurse both and its hard when both is crying. If you cnt get them on a separate nap schedule so u actually have time to put each one down, you cn distract the other one. I used to give the dummy to the youngr one while putting the toddler to bed or you cn put the baby with a toy right next to you while you pt the othr to slp

[@annarocha3254]

Your daughter needs you to sit with her? That's so hard, momma. I have a 17 month old and a 3 month old. It's really hard, but you can do it.

[@Cat55552]

Hello B.B umm how do you handle bath time? My toddler doesn’t mind it but there are a few tantrums when the hair is being washed and she prefers showers. She also likes to have the shower head the entire time so she will have a fit when it’s wash time also when it’s time to get out. I think it’s because I have a bad routine or I am doing everything wrong I think I need better insight on how to

[@brittanybalyn]

Maybe she just does like the shower more, and thats okay! I don't think youre doing anything wrong! I always to hair washing right before bath time is over, because she can get a little upset during it.

[@sarikatimmi]

does anyone know which bed that is?

You can put white noises in her room so the other noises that you make can blend in ! (Sorry for my English I hope it understandable lol). It works well for us !!
