I’ve been with you since the beginning.. I just love you and respect your way of living. I think letting the world know about your daughter is so huge! I guess I want to say that I’ve read all of the comments thus far-you’re so loved! It’s actually refreshing to see others maybe not agreeing with you or maybe just not understanding your family’s life choices.. But it seems like many are having open discussions about this and you’re responding with love and understanding while still standing your ground. I love this! This is what your channel is all about!!! We all don’t have to agree but we can still enjoy one another’s company. And.. I love that some subscribers didn’t even acknowledge that you even brought up your daughter! Other things were more important! Like books, cooking, and life itself. This is why I love you and this channel! You’re a gift! So embrace those that may not understand and love the contrast life has given us. Freedom to choose! All my love❤

[@CoffeeWithKate4]

What a beautiful share Ida May thank you so much. You are so right The discussion is the best thing and not everybody is going to understand or agree and that is fine. I love that they’re showing up that they’re speaking their truths and being open minded and it just these kind of conversations helps everybody to understand something that’s complex and open their minds and their hearts to differences.❤❤❤

[@Lapetitebruno]

Kate, thank you for your transparency and honesty. Love the 2 hour video, it’s like visiting a friend for the evening!

[@joanncarollo5404]

Your openness is the reason I will always keep coming back to your channel. Sending love to you, Bali, Mariah, and Sam. Please thank Mariah for her openness and willingness to set an example for others. Thanks, Kate.

[@CoffeeWithKate4]

It isn’t always easy, but it is needed because other people need to hear it to help them. But it sure can make us vulnerable sometimes right?!

[@RootedMystic]

Oh Kate - I got so excited to see that this was a 2-hour video. YAY!!! And this was SUCH an especially great video for so many reasons. I also appreciate that Mariah (is that spelling correct??) requested that you share this with us, and am SO glad and grateful that you're supportive in the ways that you are. What a blessing that is. Our kids need our support and love; they most definitely don't need us adding to the noise they're getting from others. Just really appreciating you. Thanks again, always, for being here.

[@CoffeeWithKate4]

What a loving, supportive and complimentary comment. Thank you.

[@4LuvOfGAIA]

I've been watching those videos also about processed foods. I recently did a blood test and found out I'm allergic or intolerant to many foods. Most meats, gluten,eggs, salmon, soy, dairy, some nuts and about 20 more foods came up as intolerances or allergies. This led me to watch videos and reading books about gluten and grains. I'm in the process of figuring out what i can actually eat without digestive issues. I think everyone would find it helpful to learn about grains, their connection to inflammation which causes many diseases. It's all a learning process.

[@sheriabdulkader9990]

Please tell Mariah that she is loved for who she is and that she should be true to her own self.

[@CoffeeWithKate4]

Thank you, we agree.

[@SBsHappyLittleCloud]

You are such a wonderful mom. And a wonderful human! I was never blessed with children but, I would have wanted to be a mother just like you. ❤

[@CoffeeWithKate4]

I've made many errors but I keep growing and keep learning. Thank you.

[@terrypelletti8535]

Kate you are such a supportive great mother. ❤

[@CoffeeWithKate4]

😊 thank you

[@kimberlymiller655]

You are a loving family. I appreciate that. I don’t agree with the early decision about the child but I respect you and I plan to still watch and support your channel! ❤❤❤❤

[@CoffeeWithKate4]

You are very open-minded, and we agree to disagree. We will just watch the journey unfold with curiosity.

[@LisaRaePageRosenberg]

How blessed Mariah and Sam are to have non-judgmental, loving, and supportive parents. Xoxoxo

[@witsonsmom729]

I recently made up a tofu scramble mix to sprinkle on the tofu... it has tumeric, onion powder, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, pepper, nutritional yeast, and a bit of dill weed in it. It really makes a nice scramble. And I have one of those choppers that breaks up ground beef that I chop up the tofu as it cooks, and it ends up looking like scrambled egg too. I'm trying to eat cleaner, I appreciate what you share as it gives me ideas to try.

[@doloresduenas3718]

I loved the video. I was preparing dinner and it was like a friend was in the kitchen with me. It’s truly amazing what you can do with chickpeas. There is nothing better than meals made from scratch. You and your family are awesome!!

[@DeniseODaniels]

Funny Kate! my spinach and kale overgrew and made it thru the winter. its all so huge. i cut off two huge pots yesterday and cooked them down. oh it made about 5 containers. some big and some not so big. Like u say...it cooks down. i am cooking hamburger ground and rice today .chopping up onions and kale and garlic into the burger/rice mixture. adding some sauce i saved from another cooking time. love garden time. its wonderful.

[@ambervaughn9266]

Dearest Kate... what an amazing mom you are!! Amongst other things. One of those other things is that you are incredibly honest and REAL. I will be honest, as a 44 year old mom of two young children myself, I am very accepting of others and their way of life, however, I am struggling understanding some of the trans issues of today. I may not understand it, but I would never shun anyone for their choices. I am thrilled and excited about the prospect of learning from you. It makes me SO happy to know how loving and accepting you are of Mariah. Thank you in advance for sharing this extremely private journey in hopes of educating people like me:) Peace to you and your precious family... Molly included!

[@kimrector8230]

Hi Kate there is no greater force than love and the love for your child is unconditional . I am so very glad you will be there for your children’s journeys in life . There is nothing better in life knowing that your parents are always in your corner

[@CoffeeWithKate4]

I agree and some of us didn’t have that so we know how it feels to not have that support.

[@summerflowers2436]

Great video! It was very inspiring to hear how you make things work for you and your family. With ingenuity you are able to procure all that you need plus some fun extras for the family. Your videos are loved by so many of us because it is like hanging out with you at your house for a very enjoyable hour or (if we're lucky) two!

[@CoffeeWithKate4]

Lol, I can't believe you all like those long videos. I love making them but I'm surprised still.

[@itsdebbievanover]

Sending big love to Mariah and for her bravery to embrace who she is, and to you for parenting done right. Our children are our children. We are here to love them unconditionally, and celebrate who they are. We are not here to mold our children into who WE are. Every child is a precious gift, and Mariah is so lucky to have you for a mama.

[@CoffeeWithKate4]

This is said so well. We are only here to protect and nurture who they are and not force our agenda on them.

[@JB-pd4ni]

Remember Sissy Spacek and husband sold their LA home and she left show biz (while still popular/busy) and moved to Blue Ridge mountains so they could raise their daughters in a normal community. I find that admirable! BTW be sure to watch MISSING she's great in it.

[@CoffeeWithKate4]

I never knew that about Sissy Spacek. I respect that so much. I would never want to raise kids in LA or wealthy areas for a slew of reasons.

[@thefunkythrifter]

Mariah and Sam are lucky to have you x

[@CoffeeWithKate4]

And I am so luck to have them. They keep maturing and blossoming.

[@cynthiacombest5]

I felt that we had a lovely visit at your home today. I really like your wonderful skillet. Thank you for being a wonderful homemaker.

[@myversionofsupermom]

Massive kudos and applause for sharing about Mariah. You are so supportive, respectful, and classy about it. Sending her positive vibes. I feel like such a fan boy when you mention things (i.e. the Blue Zone documentary) that I've seen. I think, "Holy cow! I love it too." ❤

[@CoffeeWithKate4]

It is very fun when you find people that are doing, watching and learning the same stuff. We are on the same wave length! I so appreciate you saying that about my Mariah share. It took a long time to do it and I wanted it to be a quick, non dramatic thing. It is just updating our family status.

[@josettehoughton8518]

Blessings to you and your beautiful family. 🥰 Great Video!

[@whimsyblue4424]

If you enjoy Shari Lapena check out Noelle West Ihli. She also writes face paced domestic thrillers. I really liked Ask for Andrea, and have read more since finding that one! Happy reading!

[@blessedhomemaker781]

So glad to have you back!! ❤

[@CoffeeWithKate4]

Thanks, I'm glad you found me.

[@queenofthearies111]

Seeing Miss Molly is wonderful. My Brandi looked just like her but a dark, reddish brown. We had to let her go yesterday, 17 years young. So, a hard day, but Molly makes me smile.

[@CoffeeWithKate4]

That is sad, but wow, Brandi lived a long time, that is great. I send you hugs. The first few days are too quiet.

[@Crochetlady3-l1o]

Kate you are so right about the processed foods not filling you up. We , or at least I, am starting to eat more and more whole and no fast or processed foods I figured out about 5 years ago that I am allergic to Aspertame. Nasty stuff! For me anyway Eat crap and feel like crap Little fried, fast, greasy, or spicy (unfortunately) food for me! Summer is here and there are so many fresh fruits and veggies available. I realize not everyone can afford or have access to them but fast and processed definitely isn’t cheaper nor better for you!

[@CoffeeWithKate4]

Yes, I agree and I hope that good, clean, organics become accessible everywhere and that people really take up gardening if they can or want to.

[@creativelauri]

Oh my gosh Kate! You and your husband are amazing parents. I'm so happy for Mariah that you're both supportive of her. Let Mariah know that she's very sweet & courageous to want to share her story in hopes that it could help others. 💖😁👍 Your family is so close and amazing. On a very different subject, I know you mentioned Vivi in the Garden (I think that's her channel name. I always get it wrong.) Anyway, I just love her. I watch her all the time. However, I'm not sure if anyone else told you in the comments but she's giving up her allotment. I can't remember why you brought her up but I think it was to get gardening advice from. She's got a ton of those videos and are still a good watch for anyone who wants to get into gardening. Also, your house is looking so lovely and cozy.

[@CoffeeWithKate4]

Oh no! Why is she giving up her allotment? I know things have been hard for her lately.

[@creativelauri]

@@CoffeeWithKate4 Her knees are really bad and she needs to move somewhere where it's a ground floor unit and no stairs. Her decision for the garden was for the same reason. Plus, she's putting her focus on getting her flat ready to put on the market.

[@CoffeeWithKate4]

@@creativelauri aw that’s too bad.

[@sandyadams3267]

You are a shining example of a truly, fully loving mother who supports her daughter for who she knows she should be. There are so many people who choose not to listen, learn or open their hearts. Mariah will love you all the more for your support and love. ❤😊

[@CoffeeWithKate4]

Thank you.🙏 it’s very sad and the parents are missing out big time. Mariah and I are so very close now and I love her world and others like her.

[@arizonajen7577]

Hi, Kate! Looking forward to seeing your garden this year. Our garden has been a mess for about three years. A simpler life brings peace and clarity. My favorite channels are those from other countries. We in the US have pretty unrealistic expectations of life. Africans and eastern Europeans are more realistic and find use, joy, and peace in little everyday things. Edit: to correct spelling.

[@CoffeeWithKate4]

I agree fully!!!

[@Beingnessing]

Also some junk food,cleaning products,bodycare products have hormone risrupters in them.

[@re-rittenvintagehomestead]

Kate, you are really slimming down! It's such hard work I know, but it's really paying off for you! Thank you for the video! Like someone else said, "it's like visiting a friend for the evening." God Bless

[@CoffeeWithKate4]

And that is the best kind of video. Thank you so much!

[@candyann-qb2xi]

Your looking really good definitely look slimmer in your face , soo glad your back missed your videos ❤

[@kristiemacknight]

You kept me company today while I deep cleaned my kitchen😊

Hey Kate- you can substitute some of that white flour with Lupin flour- it's a legume.

You should consider getting Crystal Schmidt’s book “Freeze Fresh” from the library. It’s the ultimate guide to freezing everything. She has some really unique ideas, and it goes through tons of fruits and vegetables.

Question I thought I heard that u have a Playlist of music- where can I find it? 🎶🎵🎶 I'm having trouble finding it

[@CoffeeWithKate4]

Get on the main page and it says playlist. It says "songs I love".

[@SuzanneSky1]

I love seeing Molly and seeing you talk to and interact with her. I miss my little girl dog so much. I love our 3 big guys, but there is something special about little girl dogs. Did Mariah pick out her name because she just liked that name or was there a specific reason she chose it? I’ve just always, even as a very young child, been very curious and interested in names. I’m not an avid cook, but I’m starting to try different seasonings and attempt making some simpler sauces. I love your videos, Kate. I learn, am entertained, encouraged, get new ideas, feel support… it really is like hanging out with a friend.

[@CoffeeWithKate4]

I appreciate that you enjoy this channel. Mariah chose her name from the musical Paint Your Wagon. The song about the wind Maria. It makes me giggle a little bit because I have tortured my children with tons of musicals and then she chose a name from it, which is really ironic.

[@SuzanneSky1]

I did wonder about that. 😊 I do like the name.

@ Kate Singh ---------- This is an unexpected treat. Almost two hours with you! I absolutely loved it. And it turned out being therapeutically😔 helpful to myself. I hope that doesn't make you feel awkward, because that's just what I would "not' want it to be. Wonderful content, and a very pleasant way of spending some of my time. It is fun to experience your own journey but still have your family too, though intentionally keeping them separate from this particular place. Thank you very much, Kate.

Since you have read Stephen King have you read any of Joe Hill's books??? I really enjoy his his mind is even more imaginative than his Dad's. I love your book reviews and suggestions. My husband and I raised 6 kids in beginning in 1973, we were dairy farmers I was a city girl. I learned how to can freeze save money, we were unable to take vacations back then. Believe me we have since gone on several cruises, road trips Smokie Mountains Florida and they are okay but there really is no place like home. The drives can be brutal the cruises are overcrowded flying can be a nightmare. You are really living the good life right now so happy you are enjoying it.

[@esteeb42]

Watching this video makes me think about the poster board I saw on the side of the road many years ago. It was the typical photo of a little boy on a pony the one where they used to come around to the neighborhood and take the picture... it was captioned " would you love me any less if you knew I was gay?" I thought about it because I had an infant son at the time. He is now 40 going on 41. Now 30 something years later I think back on it and no matter what nothing would cause me to lose love for my son. I do believe there are children/people with chromosomal issues. However I do feel that in today's society it is taken to a different level and children are being given hormones way too early in life to change the sexuality they were born with. If I were a parent of a young child I would encourage just allowing time to unfold and for me personally I would pray for guidance. I'm sure this is very difficult for you Kate but you are a good mother and I'm sure you will all come out of this okay❤

[@CoffeeWithKate4]

Surprisingly, it hasn’t been difficult. She has blossomed and I’m enjoying doing the journey with her. We are just careful who we have about us. So far it’s people who get it and are supportive.❤

[@thefunkythrifter]

Have you read any Maggie O’Farrell? I loved Hamnet and the marriage portrait.. couldn’t put them down x

Try KL Slater. You might enjoy her books! I really like them. I tend to use audible now days.

Have been thinking about doing a utube channel as a hobby….but at 68 I am probably not interesting !been gardening and walking…and visiting with friends…so today when I saw you backI was overjoyed…have been with you since the beginning!

[@CoffeeWithKate4]

I’m happy you found me! Also, there are older men and women who are doing channels and thriving and their channels are really big and get lots of views so you have lots to share and to say and you should do it!

[@cry2boys]

Last comment I promise 😂. In one of your videos you mentioned that you were told that one of the cruise line is like the motel 6 of the sea. Which cruise line was that again? We are about to book ours for my son’s senior trip and want to avoid a motel 6 of the sea 😂😂😂

[@CoffeeWithKate4]

The Carnival! The tour agent said that and I agree having been on two. I can't tell you which ship. The cheaper ones. Most of them have bad reps I'm told. The newer ones look ok, like the Firenze. I watch EECC travel on KZbin, you may get some great info from them.

[@janetjohn7618]

One of my grandsons has always wanted a Barbie for birthday etc.; we have always bought him what he is interested in. He likes to grow his hair long. He is seven years old now and he told his dad that he thought he was a girl. Fortunately, my son told him that we would always love him no matter what and he didn’t get upset. It is definitely difficult to help him be the person he wants to be when the world can be so judgmental and cruel.

[@CoffeeWithKate4]

It can but it sounds like there is a kind and open minded parent and that is the most important thing for that child. Mariah used to want dolls for Christmas and talk about missing a sister. I get it now.

Another comment just to add even if you are not vegan, you can do exactly what you’re saying and change recipes to make it leaner healthier meats add the healthier fats and just make better choices even if you do eat animal protein. That’s what I’m doing I’m mostly plant-based but I do eat a little bit of meat every day. but it’s choosing healthy foods, I completely agree with you on that. Make that the focus.

For a good series read try Louise Penny. The first book in her series is Still Life, and then number 2 is Fatal Grace. It’s a long series and the second book is better than the first and they just keep going for a long time. I can’t remember exactly how many were in the series but I absolutely loved them. I think it was something like 19. Anyway if you can get a couple to try, you might like them.

Drama, maybe but no one tells us we are going to loose our mess at 40 😂

I'm not sure anymore that I was going through peri because I'm still having cycles and I feel very happy most of the time. I did use natural estrogen and progesterone, multi vitamins, changed and cleaned up my diet and exercise almost daily, lol. All of that did a 180 on my moods. Oh, and I got rid of extra stress and work. Yes, so I don't know what's happening now. I may be in it now! But I feel great.

[@stephaniewilson222]

I just got to the part of your video where you talked about Mariah . One of our grandchildren who has always been considered a girl , wants to be called he /him\them. And goes by a different name that is similar to their original name. I can’t begin to understand but I give him all the respect I can. I’m proud of our daughter and son I law for supporting him whether they understand it or not. He’s going to be 16 and he has been living this way for going on for two or three years now and I’ve never seen this child happier. Go with your gut it’s your child and you know best.

You know my fav is 11/22/63 by Stephen King except the last chapter which was written by his son I think. You don’t really need to read the last chapter. Their also was a short mini series with same title which starred James Franco. Nicholas Sparks and John Grisham are great authors too.

When you first started your KZbin channel how did you initially get viewers? I started a channel a couple of months ago and I still only have 7 subscribers and hardly anyone watches my content…it’s discouraging lol…

It is very discouraging at first. It can happen over night or take years. I would encourage you to have fun and this is from my own experience of stressing and not enjoying the journey.

I’m reading the century trilogy by Ken Follett. I’m on the second book, and they are fascinating. Even with 2 littles, I’m staying up so late reading because I’m so into the stories and the different point of views of history.

I love getting into a good series. I'll check him out later. Thank you.

My daughter had to read The Silent Patient for her A-Levels (UK aged 17), it sounded too disturbing for me! Anthony Horowitz - Twist of the knife was an interesting take on a mystery. I can’t do too much horror so I read a lot of Poirot and Miss Marple !

I have to cleanse out the horror with a fun and light book often.

I have a transgender daughter also Kate. It was a shock at first but it’s all good. It’s good that she has you.

[@CoffeeWithKate4]

I was prepared by my friend Oregon, whose has a transgender grandson now. That prepared me. I absolutely love who Mariah is becoming and I watch her blossom and thrive as this person so it’s easy to support it. Thank you so much for sharing, and I love having people in this community who also have transgender children, and I hope everyone who does or grandchildren will share with us.
