Just to make it clear!!! Channel memberships does NOT mean only channel members can comment ❤ it just means when videos go big and get overwhelming, I will be able to take care of my brain and filter comments down to channel member ones. I’ll still be trying to respond to people in the first few days as I normally do! But channel members gives me a bit more of a break when things are overwhelming. And, I can share live videos there without worrying that my kids might be available to the public perception unfiltered and unedited, as I try to keep them visible safe and very minimal way on my channel. THANK YOU FOR BEING HERE REGARDLESS!!!! ❤❤❤❤

Hugs Hun. I'm still at the beginning of my housecleaning/clearing journey. I have a notebook that I'm filling with your suggestions and a long list of books to read and make a compiled list of how to's. I'm basically starting everything over. Literally everything. Sorting everything out. If I feel disappointed in something it's leaving. Only useful and beautiful items are worthy of a home. You're helping me so much! Thank you!

I have sensory issues too but allergies also I'm allergic to plastic, rubber, latex,cats and I hate dirty hands. My daughter has high anxiety and people afobia getting her started and to finish anything was hard but we got her some medication and she does better around people and she finishes what she starts. She also doesn't like dirty hands or grease hands she gets bladder infection for being around cats we had to get rid of hers but she loves them. But we very slowly get things done while we take care of 13 cow dogs. Yes we do work on a Ranch in the middle of know we're 2 hours from town. I love that your down to earth and caring also real messes. I love you and see you in the next one

Stop reading your comments. I just found your channel today actually, but I watched over an hour of content and it hurt my heart how often you spoke on the negative comments you'd received... You have such inspirational, positive, and wholesome content. Haters gon' 🤮. You don't have to feel responsible for their negativity. Anyway, thank you and I love your aprons 🤗 🥰

[@WithLoveKristina]

Oh but I love to read comments and connect, it’s one of the most lovely parts of creating content. And truly, it’s really only when videos blow up that I get anxious 💖

[@Motherhubbard170]

I was the 'perfect' mother until I actually had children !!!and to make it worse I started out with two girls who were truly wonderful well behaved children, so I remained the judgmental one, as clearly I !!! knew how to raise children; but at the age of 6 my eldest daughter died from a brain tumor, and after a while wanting more children, I prayed for two boys, non identical twins. After many years I did become pregnant and gave birth to fraternal boy twins. I could leave the rest to your imagination; but what a humbling experience. They were extremely difficult if not impossible to handle, cried and whined from morning till night, fought constantly, I barely made it through each day, let alone being able to get them to do anything. This is the short version, but never judge until you've walked in another shoes. Best lesson I have ever learnt

[@WithLoveKristina]

I am so sorry for the loss of your daughter, friend. And we sure do get humbled by parenting don’t we? All of us are perfect parents till we have multiple kiddos 😂

[@TJ-kz1ul]

I am so sorry for your loss. I have 2 boys, they are now teens. It has just about killed me to raise them, huge, huge handfuls!!! I wouldn't do this again, had I have known how extremely difficult it would be. I thought it was as simple as showing a child love and guidance and you'd have a loving, empathetic human being----I have learned the hard, hard, hard way this is not always the case. Breaks my heart, I have cried almost every day for over 16 years!!

[@suno8911]

Thank you all for these comments. I have only one child and yet… Even if I wanted him desperately I wasn’t ready for the reality of mothering him. I adore him but he came with many challenges (neurodivergence, high medical daily needs, and the strongest will ever). I started to resent my “perfect mother” friends whose children would listen, help, sit, try things, smile rather than whine, and obey rather than be defiant. All my plans for showering my son with every fun and creative bonding experience went down the drain. He continues to humble me, and I have to often remind myself that my prior fantasies around motherhood are my problem, not his.

[@7arboreal]

I'm so sorry for your loss x

[@universallyinsync]

I am sorry for your loss. Bless you for sharing your experience. ❤🙏

[@universallyinsync]

Dear Kristina: I'm a much older gal and the truth is that folks who get mean, judgmental, and/or harrass have larger problems. It's sign of a person who cannot be their own best friend for whatever reason. It could be many things. I can have empathy for how it affects THEM, but it's unkind. I won't get into the psychology of this because I'm not trained in that area, but it makes them feel better for about a minute. You are brave because you share your life in media. And you have inspired me to self-publish my own book of ghost stories. I have people in my life who face challenges and folks want to judge. Let's just live, and let live! If someone doesn't like what they see or hear there's plenty to watch. Trolling is unnecessary. That said, I've judged a little, too. But another young KZbinr just woke me up to the fact that I am not very kind and accepting of ME. And I'm changing that now. Best wishes to you for your continued love of self.

[@claremiller9979]

This is a lovely insightful and self aware comment, and I just wanted to say congratulations on self publishing your book, what a wonderful accomplishment 😊

[@lorrem2539]

I am an older gal and have been one of those bad commentors. I found myself making comments because homemakers weren't acting like I thought they should. As you said, someone commented back to me that I was not being nice, I have decided to change that. If I have nothing nice to say, I will not comment or I will just unsubscribe to a channel. There is plenty to watch out there. I will say though, it is much easier to watch a channel with less talk about personal problems they may be facing. I have one channel I really like for her creativity, but she is always talking about her ADHD, her break up, apologizing about her dog barking or the cat jumping on her desk that I had to start muting in order for me to enjoy it and focus on what she was actually doing.

[@alecsgirl]

I love it when my favorite KZbinrs post cleaning videos. I discovered last year that if I watch someone else clean, I get inspired to get my house cleaned and tidied. So, thank you!

[@halleyorion]

My struggle is switching activities. For example, I need to pick things up off the floor before I can vacuum, but it’s SO hard for me to go from pick-things-up mode to vacuuming mode. I have found that watching a relevant cleaning video helps prime my brain for switching activities. It’s so helpful!

I have ADHD too (not officially diagnosed because the process is so difficult as you probably already know), and some days, I look at a mess, in the back of my mind I KNOW I can and should clean it, but I can't make myself move. And the longer I see it there uncleaned, especially when it could take me less than five minutes to resolve it, it's so hard. It's why whenever I suddenly get this burst of cleaning energy, I try to get to make the most of it. I once decluttered and organized my entire bedroom at 10:30 pm 😅 Thank you for your videos about this, it helps people like me feel less badly about not being able to have a pristine house 24/7 like the Instagram girlies (which are probably fake, but tell that to my brain) On another note, I love how the cat did not move at all when you were fixing the blanket on the couch. That's such a cat thing to do 😂

Mom of 5 here. Our baby just started community college and we’ve now entered the world of “compounding interest” in family member numbers. 3 are married, one is getting married in January and between January and March of 2025 we will add 3 people to the family. One by marriage and two new babies. Anyway, they still love coming home and hanging out and I know we are quite blessed by that. But I still have days when I’m just tired and weary. Today was one of those days so I decided to hide for a bit and watch one of your videos. I find them quite calming and I love the way you edit them and your music choices and the real life things you include. Good job Mama! Someday your home will be full of daughters and sons in law and sweet grandbabies ❤️❤️❤️

Hello, I subscribed about a week ago and have been waiting for you to post again so that I could tell you how much I love your content. I think you are adorable and I love your way of life. It reminds me very much of growing up, where we didn't have a lot, but we were happy and thankful for what we had. Our home was warm and inviting and our mom was loving and kind. She sewed all of our clothes when we were young, she baked, and we often did crafts together. Wonderful memories. Your children are so blessed to have a mom who is not so preoccupied with keeping up with the Jones's or having a spotless sterile home but spends time with them loving, nurturing and showing them the very things of life that really matter.

You have helped me see we can create an oasis even with a not perfect house. I’m not home enough to do much deep cleaning, but I learned a lot from FlyLady. I try when I can to do deeper cleaning in my zone of the week and just keep the basics of a morning routine and evening routine. We make sure to go to bed with a clean kitchen. I try to wash dishes as I cook. We leave the house with a clean kitchen, bedroom and bathroom and kind of in the LR/DR. You do NOT want to open the doors to the other two bedrooms. 😂I, too, cover my couch and chair with sheets because of the damage the cats have done to it. 😢You gave me inspiration on how to do some little things to my kitchen to make it happier to me until we have the money to redo it. 🥰May the Lord bless you!

Your comments on finding time in the day to rest, in order to get everything done without burning out, are so valuable. I also tidy up after my kids still, they are 7 and 9, I do get them to help most of the time but sometimes I admit it's my standard and not theirs that I'm wanting so I take responsibility for that. If they make an actual mess, they have to clean it up of course, but I'm becoming more accepting of some disorder (in my mind) to keep peace. My partner is not as ordered and organised as me, and I don't make him tidy everything to my preference either. It's about finding a balance of what we all can live with, and if I want something a bit extra in terms of cleanliness then that is on me and not them, in my opinion anyway.

I'm not neurodivergent, but I do have anxiety and get overwhelmed easily. Talking about how you tackle homemaking tasks like cleaning by focusing on one area at a time and taking rests is such great modeling of being kind to oneself. My parents only ever modeled cleaning in a frenzy and all in one go to the point of exhaustion in the pursuit of perfection, so for me it is very healing to see that t doesn't have to be that way.

I have been a subscriber since 2019/2020. Your videos are the ones I look forward to most. It's been an amazing experience to see how someone else deals with their neuro divergence. It's been uplifting and a source of comfort through my own battles. Dealing with multiple losses (all non covid related), cancer during covid (removed and in remisssion), parent stroke (currently care giving), a recent systemic infection/hospitalization/recovery, process of diagnosing other neuro divergent stuff besides dyslexia, etc. Just to name a few sice 2020. Life is never simple or easy. It's full of strife and discouragement. Yet it's worth living, and with conscious effort and focus, it can even be enjoyed. Lately your videos have been both a reminder and an affirmation of all this. So let this comment be a reaffirmation to you. You are right. Shifting your focus on life from overly planned and executed "perfection" to reality in all its messy, beautiful chaos. Accepting the things that we can not change and work to improve the things we can while enjoying or at least TRYING to enjoy the journey. lol. Some things in life, you just survive to the best of your ability. Yet, it's always the frame of mind that affects how we turn out to be. Always bitter, angry or unhappy, or, for the most part, happy if not content (because it's okay to have other feelings too).

I am so glad I found your channel - it has become my favorite thing about the internet and your approach to homemaking has been so encouraging and comforting to me. Thank you so much ❤

[@onefailatatime]

How can above comment mean comments on your channel? You are a breath of fresh air and are the sweetest. Those people just hate their lives.

[@jenmurakami6269]

Your channel brings me so much peace. Thank you ❤

[@jacquelinecassidy8682]

I’m so sad to hear about the comments you are talking about. You, sweet woman, are a treasure. As women we have been told for years to be the very opposite of what your channel represents. One might ask, where is the “tolerance” for different ways of being? It’s so freeing to watch your videos, see your calm quiet eyes and enjoy what you have to share with us. THANK YOU. I’m 63 and I’ve been waiting a long time for this breath of fresh air. 🌷

Thank you for another video! I love your content and I find them so calming. I'm sorry that you've experienced "opinionated" internet folks, and I'm very glad that you are making boundaries around comments. I hope you and your family are well! With love from East Coast Canada 💖

[@learningwithlola5578]

watching this video was so therapeutic - thank you - ❤hearing you talk openly about what I've been shamed for comforts me that I'm not alone in the executive dysfunction of home making

[@gbanksky]

New to your channel with the last video (kitchen makeover), but loving it! I watched several of your back episodes, as well. I love your house! I like looking at your decor-you have neat, interesting and eclectic, collected pieces and there is whimsy and color in your style. I especially love your kitchen and how everything works so well together. And your black and white kitchen floor! Chef’s kiss! It looks so good! You have such a good sense and understanding of yourself and I am sorry that the KZbin trolls are out in force. I would like to join your membership but couldn’t figure out how. Lol! I’m subscribed but not sure if that is what you are talking about. Just don’t want to miss future videos. I have not joined a membership before on KZbin. I like how you explain your thinking on cleaning, etc. while you’re doing it-completely makes sense as a way to not be overwhelmed with tasks of any kind (neurodivergent brain or not). I am sharing your videos with my daughter who has Autism and ADD and is pregnant with her first child ( Yay me! Lol). I think your channel will be a blessing to her bc you remind me so much of her and of many conversations we have shared about getting overwhelmed easily, even though I think she is doing a fantastic job at this “adulting” thing. And you are too. Looking forward to more videos. 😊 PS. I enjoy watching the teamwork your husband and you have and enjoyed the little dance he did with the broom in front of the mirror. 😂

[@juliacarol6382]

Thank you so much Kristina! I would so love to be a channel member. I'm a doctor and a mum of two, and I really struggle sometimes with my own emotional wellbeing, becoming overwhelmed with perfectionism and feelings that I'll never be good enough. I watch your videos as breaks from work and I always feel so calm and inspired afterwards. I can't thank you enough for what you do

[@debdekarski809]

I’m sorry that people are being ugly to you. Just remember it is on them they are taking their issues out on you. Sometimes people are just ugly. You keep being you. I love your videos.

[@nancyworsley5057]

I am sure I saw your fashion videos on Instagram. Today I just found you here. I am so excited!! I love everything here!!! Thank you!!!

[@xo.courtneylynn]

I wish I could find more creators like you. I love your videos and how you put them together. ❤

[@Johnnie_Love]

Ugh yes! I haven't been able to use the water in my flat for a week until today! It's crazy how we take our modern luxuries like dishwasher and laundry for granted.

[@Lcalvert66]

I find your videos relaxing to me. I love watching them and have been watching for Few years now. Your kitchen makeover was inspiring. Turn off the negative comments! .

[@Strega_del_Corvo]

I love your channel, I love your kitchen and I enjoy every minute of it. I don’t want perfect. I want real. It’s aesthetic without being fake and I appreciate you and all the work you put into your home, your family and making videos for us. ❤ I’m autistic, so while my neurodivergence gives me slightly different issues, I know the battle of working with a brain that’s different. 🍓

[@larkfly9273]

this made me feel so calm from the very first frame. you have a great cinematic eye

[@noelsturtevant8023]

I also have a high needs emotional child. Who doesn’t do well with change. These few weeks of school have been hard. It’s nice to know I’m not alone.

[@lulubellecataloni5605]

I just want to say I love your channel and your beautiful family. I’m so sorry people are unkind to you in their comments- it makes me so mad that they’re causing you even one second of stress. Sending you love❤ and surrounding you with a white light of protection 💫

[@erikawoods8975]

I will soon be a mother to four my oldest being eleven years old. I used to lose my mind if my house was not perfectly clean. Completely selfish. I have slowly learned my house should be slightly imperfect and that my babies and husband should be relaxed and happy. You are so sweet to love and gently train your babies without making it all about you.

[@shealawrence]

I feel that anxiety about the video reach going high 😭 it’s a blessing because it will reach those who LOVE your content, but definitely does catch the bad apples too. You’re amazing though, and I love your channel!❤

[@WithLoveKristina]

Yes! It’s like… most of the time positive but it’s rough when you catch a bad comment on a high anxiety day. Thank you friend!

[@beverlystauffer2489]

You are a beautiful person, and I really enjoy your videos. I have 3 adult daughters and one teen daughter and all are ND in some way. Watching your content has helped me understand more about how an ADHD brain works. I have shared your channel with my girls in the hopes it will help them, too. Hope you had a great vacation!

[@blissonsat]

Love your style. Such a cozy warm vibe. Love Love! My house is similar, so refreshing

[@hollin37]

I love your videos! I love vintage, too. I am also neurodivergent as are all 3 of my children. One of my children is autistic and non speaking so I can absolutely relate to high needs and change. Your videos remind me of when mine were little. They're 19, 15 and 15 (twins) and those days seem like they'll last forever but they don't. I have ADHD and cleaning and organizing is challenging! Watching your videos inspires me to clean :D

[@SimplyBeautiful516]

You are gorgeous. And your content makes me feel calm and joyful simultaneously. ❤

[@user-tp8dn1vc4i]

Good for you coming up with a way to keep the negativity of some viewers out of your life. I’m 77; have been through many of the stages in life including starting out in a 1950’s family and house. You have been able to allow me to look back on those tumultuous years and reframe them in my memory with some peace and calm. You’re a wonderful person and an incredible mother and you’re doing an amazing job. Especially sharing your life challenges with us. Thank you🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@sabrinabeberman180]

I don't always leave comments, but I do have to say that I watch a ton of your videos, and I love them. I also love watching Inspired by Nikki and Lizzie in Lace. Each and every one of you has really inspired me to change my style, I went from always wearing blue jeans, t shirts, and work out fits to wearing only dresses. I also have slowly changed my decor for my home as well. I love the cottage core, whimsical romantic style in my home and with what I wear. I used to wear only black clothes. I am a plus size woman, and I thought I could only wear black, now my closet is full of beautiful pastels with florals dresses, and red polka dot dresses. Thank you for sharing your life with me and for all of us. You are beautiful and amazing person.

[@hallamshire]

I just came across you, your IG and this channel. Thank you so much for what you are doing. You videos are so calming, yet honest. As a neuro-spicy vintage girly, I absolutely love all of this. ❤❤

[@Psalm23bytheSea]

I love this ❤ just been diagnosed at 54 with ADHD

[@kathybolen2360]

From this grandma, you are so beautiful ❤ and don't you dare listen to those mean people! God Bless You All

[@BookCat18]

Hey we aren't too far away in real life! I love your channel, vibe, and honesty. Happy to be here ❤ Hoping this can blur out the 10 comments that hurt you. Hugs from Washington

[@lesleyharris525]

Hi, hope you all had a wonderful time away, I'm exactly the same when we go away, I spring clean, catch up on the ironing ( my constant battle), this year I didn't even pack till an hour before we left for the airport, but when we got back I was chuffed to only have laundry to do (plus more ironing 😂), ❤

[@Sarahro.cactus]

As a neurodivergent mom of multiple children (3, pregnant with fourth) I really really love your channel. I stumbled upon it a month or two ago and watched everything. Your videos make me feel less alone. Please don’t listen to the haters because you’re a breath of fresh air.

[@WithLoveKristina]

Thank you Sarah 😭 I appreciate this so much. I hope you find ways to feel calm and rested during this time of chaos, motherhood as an ND person can be so hard. So fulfilling and worth it but still hard.
