[@azpatriot6683]

Love watching your videos! I teared up when you were talking about how you and Andrew made sacrifices so you can stay home. This is myself right now. We live in a cheap house and make it work as my husband works two jobs. My son has autism (12 years old) and homeschool him and take care of my other 2 littles. It is totally worth it!!

[@anaideitak6178]

Dear Ellen, please tell me what is the best start VITAMIX since I am a beginner in this VEGAN world. Thank you and love your family very much. I am learning so much from you.

[@kiki.arielscrystalco]

Definitely signing up as soon as we have the $ available! (I'm going to do the 3 monthly payment) I just did the questionnaire though and finding a trainer was so fun, the woman I got paired up with seems lovely! Can't wait, thanks Ellen! Sending love to you and yours from Australia x

[@hannahgilbreth6492]

Ellen, iv been watching your channel for probably about 7 or 8 years now. Your channel is the reason i realized I DID want children, but i was terribly overweight and unhealthy and couldn't get pregnant. After working hard and losing over half my body weight, i was finally able to get pregnant with my husband of 10 years. Im now 38 weeks pregnant with my 2nd baby, and i can not tell you how uplifting and inspiring you and your family's outlook on life is. This is also truly one of the most gorgeous videos you've made to date, and even though the videos are less frequent, the quality and care is still there and apparent. I know you dont know me and i dont know you, but your channel has been so important to me as a reminder to love, and be calm in my life, and for that you are a friend to me. Thank you for all you do!

[@victoriazwergmaus9813]

That was beautiful 🙏🏼

[@chiarai.5764]

Congratulations dear🥰

[@aprilschoppaul9891]

What a blessing you are now having & experiencing. Hugs to you & congratulations 🎉

[@melitakapitan4657]

Wow this is soo inspiring. Congratulations on your beautiful family 🤍

[@GardenerRose]

Having a child from you feeling every kick heart beat and we all ready go through trials but this one I'm saying with great weight you will experience love like never before looking in the eyes of your child their cute chubbness in your arms hearing them breathe and love you back unconditionally ♥️ not to mention their first giggle ♥️

[@ethanz3837]

I just scoured the internet for about 10 hours and this was the only uplifting content I found.

[@loriwilliams2167]

What a beautiful video and WOW the color of that landscape! I can't imagine what it would be like to just pick fruit off your tree and be so near the beach.. I can tell that you are very grateful for all your blessings though. From an almost senior citizen- enjoy your family, cherish everyday when they are small, these days go so quickly 🥰

[@kathleen.julianne.hilson]

I’ll take WHATEVER you feel like sharing WHENEVER you feel like sharing it!! This video is gorgeous and so motivating!! 🌿☁️

[@juliaferentzi4036]

You probably won't share your real life struggles in a more complete way with us, but God, it would be so encouraging to see or hear them. The videography is amazing, the shots are perfect, the peace and joy are almost tangible. Yet I miss something. There was a moment when you called your kids to come inside to wash their teeth. It was so real and I would so love to hear what happened next. Did they all come in afterwards? Did some of them resist? How did you react..etc. I know that I was born and raised in a completely different culture (Hungary) so your calmness, creativeness, dedication are probably on the next level. I don't know. But I am curious.

[@conscioushomestead]

I agree. I’d love to see more real moments. I sometimes finish watching her videos, though very beautiful and calming, feeling worse about myself because my life isn’t as perfect as hers.

[@suzanne8637]

@@conscioushomestead she does often mention that life isn't as perfect as the videos make it look. I have the same feeling of calm with the videos but also the thought of okay why don't you show the real stuff more then, why does everything need to look perfect. I feel like it started off more real when she started making videos years ago and that she's more of an influencer style youtuber now.

[@omgnoi]

All her videos are ads now

[@Rebecca-yq8wb]

This video made me tear up, you have such a talent for making videos. I have watched your journey since it was just Elvis and I have loved tuning into your videos. Your life is such an example of how I want to raise my family. On the beach, eating healthy food, owning my own piece of land, having a great community of friends. You have such a beautiful life and I am so excited to see how it continues to grow and flourish throughout the years.

[@hunterburgtorf]

Ellen, I think this might be my favorite video you've ever made. I was just having this teary conversation with my husband as we have our first child who's 1 1/2 and I'm feeling so unsatisfied with where my life is at. When you looked back at your life as it was just truly starting to where you are now, I could feel my body taking a deep breath and knowing that this is only the beginning. Being with my daughter and creating a fulfilling life are the most important things to me, so thank you for that special reminder. Also, the music throughout this whole video was incredible! Your editing! Everything. SO so good. Thank you as always for sharing.

[@DieApfelwerfer]

Whenever I struggle to get all the things done, if I’m lacking motivation to cook healthy meals, to work out or if I feel like I can‘t do gentle parenting anymore, your videos help me get back on track. Not necessarily because you make it all look easy, but you make it look doable. And you make me remember to focus on the beauty in it all. Thank you for being such an inspiration.

[@achtli17]

As a new mom on two babies under 3, two senior dogs to care for, and new entrepreneurs, life can get easily overwhelming and stressful. On the rare days where I let the overwhelm take over and start to question everything, I always find myself watching one your videos to bring me back to center. Your life, is my vision board-the love you pour, outlook on life, what you’ve created on your land and your self love is what I strive for. So, thank you for being brave enough to share with us all.

[@emmagunnar4140]

Oh Ellen, you are such a gentle and amazing human being. I have watched and been inspired by you for years. If anything i’m so amazed that you can recognize and take a step back for your family, it’s what we all want for you guys. quality time and memories.

[@lindajones3356]

now when i watch Ellen i get sad, nostalgic, happy and inspired ... Im grateful for all the years Ellen❤ I know you cant stay still for us.. it wouldn't be fair. We love you!

[@justlisa2924]

I was just talking to my sister in law the other day and said like “oh I’m in such a personal crisis, I want to be like Ellen, I want to be a Hawaii nature girlie and mother that just lives in tune with nature and her kids but I feel so stuck bla bla bla” and my sister in law said “oh I know what you mean but see that Ellen probably has her struggles too…” and now you’re posting this video talking right out of my heart!! So encouraging ♥️

[@puakaohelaulii9562]

I’m a kanaka and started following you on IG when Elvis was a baby and stumbled upon your YT when it started. Your journey to entrepreneurship and homesteading has been my DREAM, but it’s soooo hard to make it here in Hawai’i 🥺 I finally had my daughter right before you had Sandy and it was a long road to having her too (I have 4 angels that I lost before her). Anyway, I always felt like our lives aligned along the way and wanted to share how much I’ve loved watching your vids and how inspiring you are 🫶🏽 mahalo nunui for all you do!

[@victoriakennedy-webster2364]

You are Always putting out reminders for everyone to love and enjoy life, to be healthy and stress free and it’s always the most positive reminder I get kind and gentle and such a great little whisper that turns into an echo for me through my week. What a life we all individually live. Thank you always 🌸

[@kirthanakavassery]

You’re such a beautiful soul, Ellen. Your intention and honesty speaks through the work you do and even though you share less, I feel like your content is becoming a lot more valuable and meaningful than ever before. Less is truly more ♥️ You’ve always and continue to be an inspiration ♥️

[@ellevictory1339]

😘😘😘😘🌺🌷💪🙏💃🌕⭐☀️🍋💦💞💟😊💖💝💞🎁🌻💗🌸💪💕🌿🌱🌜

[@janjentz1053]

As a senior it seems easy to offer the slow down type advice; but remembering back to being a young Wife and Mom; its easier said than done. Your videos are so inspiring and have been following you for several years. Your priority should be your beautiful children and husband. I will enjoy your videos whenever you can make them to share.

[@YRLOVED]

This video was so beautiful, I felt all the feelings and cried. As close to heaven as it gets😭💜 Seeing life through this lens is truly breathtaking and shows you what is important. Not all the material stuff you can get, but time with your loved ones and the true joy of children. No matter what sacrifice you make, children are a reward from God and worth every late night, every spill or mess and every heart ache. This video was a blessing and I felt at peace watching this! Thank you Ellen!

[@uniquely__awkwardsimply__b2701]

I don’t know what it is but the first few minutes of your video made me cry! I think it’s just the warmth and organic nature of your soft soothing voice just made me release these tears I’ve been holding in for so long!! Nothing ever makes me cry. I know this has nothing to do with your video but thank you! I could listen to you speak all day! You’re such an inspiration! I’ve yet to become blessed enough to have kids but if I do I hope to be half the mom and wife you are! Many blessings❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@MrsEssEss]

These are exactly the words I needed to hear today. My kids ARE my number one priority and yet I've allowed stress to creep in and get in the way at times. Thank you

[@maeganjackson713]

Please never stop sharing these videos. Your Chanel has always held a special place in my heart. It reminds me of my own goals and gives me reassurance I can get there. ❤️

[@Daydreamerr13]

You realize how times flies watching your favorite KZbin family grow!

[@faithbloiun7985]

A quick hello to say I have 5 ( 4 mos 2 n a half just turned 5, 12 and almost 16) . I am sooo tired!!! The good news is we finally are getting a bigger house..my last labor wasn't as fearless as the one before n I'm done having babies ( at 47) but loved your birth videos n love the vegan life w the kids..keep doing your thing Gurl❤

[@Deeplz]

I've been watching you since before Sandy was born and I love how life unfolded for you and Andrew! You had dreams, you worked for them and made them a reality. You're the most thoughtful and loving person, the archetype of a mother ♥ and just such an inspiration. Best wishes from Germany

[@lenablucci]

Lovely ❤️❤️ have you ever thought of making a video about how you get cleaning and organizing done? I find it hard as is with just one child I would love to see how you do that and get some ideas!!

[@Sav.M144]

Ellen, I just want to let you know that when I decided I wanted to improve my health 6 years ago after having my son, I turned to a plant-based diet and found your videos which helped me and my son become soo healthy. Shortly after I had come across a video of you talking about Gary Yourofsky and I listened to his speech and immediately became an ethical Vegan. Your videos bring us so much joy and inspiration to live a holistic life without pressure. Thank you so much for being part of a huge change in our lives. You are amazing. Love you xx

[@cherylhartl3749]

I love your beautiful soul and authenticity! I started watching your channel when you were expecting Scout, and have enjoyed watching your family grow. I pray that you will find it in you to be able to continue making videos, but your family should always come first, they are the most important people in the world. As mine are to me! God bless you and your family.

[@sierra8330]

You have been such a light along my motherhood journey these past 9 years. So grateful for your beautiful wisdom. The timing of your words wouldn’t have come at a more pertinent time. ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@greentree730]

Your videos have transformed over the years. They had a big vegan focus and family. I like the wisdom you share from what you are learning. It is always so helpful to see someone doing what they are sharing about. These years they are young are so valuble...It's so valuble for your kids to see that you also had a couple life, friends of your own as well. On the note of how much is on your plate, always consider staff somewhere. Just two hours of cleaning a week, or two hours of cleaning your car, or three hours of babysitting a week while you and Andrew go to the beach alone. Your here living now and this can balance it all better. Don't always wait for what you want/need. Don't hang onto small money that can make life sparkly!!xoxo

[@larizavinish3231]

Thank you for sharing! I’m sure many moms are struggling myself counting with the what if I would work more, what if I could be more successful but in reality my mind and my heart wants to be more with my kids , creating memories, spending the most quality time with them bu there is always what other think about me. Thank you for the reminder 💕

[@joannajohn3268]

My favorite Ellen video yet. This week I've been in my own process of redefining what's important to me. Like you, it's my kids and a slowness that allows true presence.

[@twofeathershealingformula1745]

You’ve still got it, Ellen ❤ Such a talent in making these videos. You will never know the lives you’ve touched but you have - as I’m sure so many will agree. Wishing you all the very best and may God bless you all forever 💜☀️💕♥️🤍🦄

[@sarahandrea7232]

Ellen, I have been on your channel before it was the name it is now. You have such a way with words and I am so grateful to have found your channel. I am sobbing watching this video because I feel like I’m watching my dearest friend (I feel like we are friends) put themselves and their happiness first. After so many years. I will enjoy any videos you post❤

[@gwengwen4535]

Working out, like pushing and pulling and rebounding, stretching, all amazing game changers especially going into menopause which is me right now at 50 add an amazing health. Really gorgeous video Ellen! So encouraging and beautiful💗

[@suzannelaban5726]

I doet know why but your video makes me cry..i have been following youv for a few years and always get inspired by watching and listening to you..i am in a place now where i know i need to do certain things differently for my health and family that this really feels like confirmation to me.. thank you dear ellen.. lots of love from a mother from the Netherlands❤❤

[@josieloveslife1269]

What an incredible video ❤ I've been watching since the early years with Elvis and you never stop inspiring me. Thank you for all the good you put out into this world! Keep shining!!

[@katinadiep9268]

I agree older people give the best advice on what matters most in life. I think it's great that you can enjoy quality time with your family. And of course the beautiful background of Hawaii is totally breathtaking. I'm from Quebec/Canada so we don't have beaches!

[@roserosa8276]

I miss your old way to make your videos, the older kids, the family cooking together, the clothes styles you used to show to us. The trips around the island. I miss your sister, I understand life is changing and you are short of time now. But your life style your family this is so beautiful and so dedicated. Love you guys all the best wishes. 😚

[@TheMartasputo]

What you say and show resonates so much with me and where I’m right now in my life. Sad to see you less but oh dear I can understand it 100% and I respect it fully ❤️ You are a huge inspiration for so many of us Ellen ❤️

[@luvmelove5742]

You always make me cry after watching your videos. You’re such an inspiration and I’m really happy you will be spending more time with your little ones. God bless you and your family.

[@nael_tm]

Thank you so much for this video, it reminded me of everything I want to get in life and how looking at the bigger picture is key, instead of focusing on the daily struggles. Truly, thank you, this’s video’s so inspiring ✨✨✨

[@LindsyyyyyLL]

Being a mom who wants to do it all is very mentally straining. I see you. I also always feel so calm and at peace after one of your videos. Thank you for being here for us. ❤️

[@mrsrebeccahobson]

I don’t think I can love this video anymore 😩🥹❤️ so wholesome xxxx

[@adragon0306]

I felt a bit weird watching the video as the title indicated there is something wrong but the video showed you thriving in every possible aspect. I hope you notice it :)

[@earth2amanda71]

I have always loved your video's these past 8 years. They make me feel calm and focused. My children and husband are my rocks, I mean crystals always and forever. x

[@Kianaonyoutube]

Do whatever you need to do for yourself and your family! We’ll be here when you have time to post. It’s a wonderful example to set for others

[@NaitsyMarie1]

I get so excited when you upload a video. They are amazing and inspiring. You inspire me to be better with my food, my family, kids and husband, and with my fitness. You look so good and have five kids, that’s not normal for where I came from. I wish everyone in my island, Puerto Rico, could see your videos so they learn that is ok to take care of your body inside and out. Thanks for all you do!

[@madekalniete9811]

your perspective of live in this video made me cry and overthink my own life choices. Thank you for inspiration and I wish you all the best!

[@Writingisms30]

Like you listen to parenting books, I’m going to watch this video as a reminder. Thank you for whatever you can share!

[@inHeavenEyes]

So special. I love to see how grown your children have become, and you look better than ever. 💕

[@melanierosalie]

I love that you share more about the beauty AND struggles of motherhood, the desire to be the best mom and that it requires making choices and sacrifices. Us mommies can all relate to it

[@indisadventure2307]

I remember watching you when Elvis was a wee toddler and you were talking about planting your own stuff one day. Now here you are living your dreams.🎉

[@maja_sukara]

Yes! Picking your own food and creating something wonderful for the family with it is unexplainable profound ❤

[@janrominger3252]

You & your family have inspired so many of us! Take the time that you need to take a well deserved rest from the Merry-Go-Round of SM. We'll be here when you you're ready to inspire us again!💕

[@johannacollins4721]

Inspiration to all! Thank you for lifting up other mamas in this space! Especially when there’s so much toxic mom culture now! Made me cry! My kiddos are getting so big and growing up too quickly. Just want to be more present and enjoy time witn them! Stress and worry less. Great reminder! Love your videos! ❤

[@Samanthaelizabeth89]

Every video you make I am excited to watch no matter how frequent. Thank you for sharing so much of yourself Ellen. I have been watching you since Elvis was a baby. I found you through your “what my vegan baby eats in a day“ video and have been following you ever since. You inspired me to have a homebirth (even though it didn’t work out as planned) and you have truly felt like a friend so thank you ❤

[@adrienneschmaltz8265]

Ellen!! Your amazing!! Thank you so much for sharing this! I can’t tell you enough how much it moved me! I am in tears after your videos! Thank you for the reminder to be the best version of yourself. To slow down and live life!! Love you girl!

[@awakeningnavigator3895]

Beautiful video! I totally respect the fact that you’re posting less and spending more time with family, but I do enjoy it when you’re able to!

There is definitely power in the pause. Your makeup looks so pretty. Idk what you're doing but I like it. Omg that's the longest waterslide I've ever seen.

[@Zonderzooi]

Hi Ellen! Loved this video, so cosy to watch on a rainy day! I wanted to give you a little tip about the parchment paper, hopefully you read it. If you make it wet with warm water, then wring the water out and make it try with a towel, it suits more perfectly to your cake tin. It's only one minute extra, but it's so convenient! Have a beautiful day, lots of love from The Netherlands

[@monikapohorecka9768]

I watch this video like million times, thanks for reminder what is really important in life

[@lovelifementoring5399]

It’s so much more important that you put the time into your children. I have 5 and I know what it takes. ❤ they are so special and the best thing is being a mum and now grand mum ❤

[@EricaChristy]

I've been watching since you had only Elvis and i just love watching your family grow .You should be really proud of all that you accomplished.

[@Pooroldpossum]

Have you ever watched the tv show "Medium"? I love the way that family is so close and the relationship between husband and wife is actually perfect. That is goals in life - to find a partner that loves his/her family and the closeness they share.
