The days my husband has a lot of work and I’m home alone with the baby I just think to myself how hard it must be for single parents! Co-parent or not, when you don’t have any help at home it is really hard. You are doing great! I love all of your videos!! 💗💗

[@mommieryiaiahsrealityworld7273]

So positive comments it is hard but have to keep pushing

[@sehicf7317]

Omg Arrow's eyes are the most beautiful shade of blue 💙💙😻

[@noellefritz5678]

hopefully they stay that color

[@oui6614]

@@noellefritz5678 whatever, all colours are beautiful and will fit her anyway she's so cute

[@kaitlinsmith843]

The face dive into the ball pit really had me going 🤣🤣

[@shangusxo]

I swear down she said "Hi guys" at 12:30. 😂 Its insane how quickly she's growing up, you're an incredible mum. Thanks for sharing this journey!

[@madisong5276]

You’re a great mom! It’s a lot of multi tasking being a single parent when they are so little especially. My daughter is 3 now, and I’m really enjoying it! She’s gotten way more independent and that’s given me more quality time for myself. Something to look forward to with toddlerhood! Respect to you Momma!

[@dawnforlife]

It's soooo good to hear that it gets better! My girl is 10 months old, I am not a single parent but I still feel like I'm multi tasking all the time 😅

[@emmabush7373]

It’s insane how quickly they become so independent 😭💖

[@sandiewilson7975]

Momming is hard. Your positivity and amazing attitude makes dealing with the ups and downs so much easier. Thanks for bringing us on your journey. Love your channel. Arrow is adorable!

[@RachelLotty]

brittany. you are an ABSOLUTE MACHINE. you make motherhood look so amazing and we are all so proud of you for being such a strong role model for your daughter. i am so grateful that you make the time to document how you can take anything life throws at you… it’s extremely inspiring

[@G35V]

I absolutely love vlogs with Arrow! Her sassiness makes me smile all the time

[@TheThriftiestTeacher]

Oh my gosh LOVE watching Arrow and know exactly what you’re going through with the baby to toddler change! The squirm out of your arms and even the tunnel used to distract her! I know it may have been frustrating for you and hard to get things done, but it is hysterical because it is SO relatable! You’re doing great!! 💕💕

[@ramblingcaroline2411]

The way you raise your leg when preparing meals and holding Arrow makes me want you to be gifted a Tushbaby and let us know how you like it!

[@wonderland1911]

What is that?

[@gunshotxromance3]

Me and my mom LOVE our tushbaby

[@love_nyc_]

Tushbaby looks SO WEIRD. Everytime I see one, im like wtf

[@love_nyc_]

I'm obsessed with your videos...they radiate so much positive energy 😍😍😍😍😍😍😍 I would LOVE to see a morning and night routine!!!!

[@MusicNWhatNot_]

Absolutely love that you shared glimpses into your coparenting journey! Thats going to help so many people who find themselves in a similar situation 🤍 Love this day/weekends/weeks in the life, and love even more how proud and happy you got about your photoshoot!! Definitely choked up 🙈🤍

[@yanak7159]

I have a 1 year old too and they are just so cute at this age, VERY active but so fun. Arrow was so cute getting to the camera while you weren’t looking. 😂

[@lihee_moss]

Thank you for your vlogs. It gives me an idea of what to expect with my little guy. much love.

[@alondrayjoseserrano300]

Totally loved this video my Daughter is 7 months and 2 weeks and is great to see videos from your channel they help me prepare for every stage of my little girls journey.

Oh my goodness the difference here from the last few vlogs is so crazy! Her personality is totally shining now and it's so adorable. It's awesome you will have all of these videos to look back on. ❤️

[@brittanybalyn]

So different!! 🥺😍

[@u9d78dkls]

Honestly the switch from baby to toddler is HARD and you look like you’re already killing it 💗 Please share ALL and ANY tips you have. I’m pregnant and living with an 18 month old!! 😅😂🤣🥲

[@emilymyers6196]

WHAT a post on Thursday yay 🙌 😍

[@Vero.does.better]

Girl, I think I speak for everyone when I say we would watch you flush a turd down the toilet. Love your videos, whether they are structured and prepared or not.

[@krishnacruz5419]

😂

[@dawnforlife]

hahhaha! I hardly hear people use the word turd and actually learnt it from my Swiss husband. I am Asian so..I just say..sh*T. ahha!

Thank you Brittany for helping me realize what an accomplishment being 1 year postpartum is 🙌🏼 I made myself a whole pamper day for my 1 year postpartum gift (I haven’t had a haircut in over 5 years!)

[@brittanybalyn]

Omg love this!!! You deserve it!! 💞

[@taylorl681]

Arrow’s little giggles, I can’t!! She’s getting so big 😭😭😭

[@stephanielorenaperezrobles3332]

Saaaame girl saaaame. I take care of my baby 90% of the time and getting ready, making a meal, showering is a game of juggling making sure she’s safe while I’m doing things. It’s crazy. And yes I put a Disney movie for background noise and for her to watch if I need a break, no guilt, we have to do what we can to keep our sanities.

[@kaitlinsshmaitlin]

Good to know I’m not the only one who sings to her daughter about diaper changes 😅 Your body looks amazing Brittany, your hard work totally shows 😍

[@janellewilliamson8169]

Pizza in the bath is a M00D and I am here for it! ✨💖✨

Yesss please make a video on how you navigate doing everyday things with arrow!! I need tips!! 🙈🙌🏻

[@brittanybalyn]

Hahaha 🤪

[@megs2015]

Your lip color in the beginning is incredible 😍 such a happy looking color

[@zombiesom]

Lol she is the cutest! And you're an awesome mom!

[@sitorakh5175]

Omg Arrow is on her way to becoming a little baby blogger so cute💛 also, Brittany where did you get your necklace from?

[@meganjnx4429]

She's so aware and active 🥺

[@McMillanMegan]

At 12:28 I had to rewind it, it sounds like she’s saying “hey guys” so cute!!!

[@mallorykay1564]

I heard her say it at around 8minutes and some seconds too! So that’s def what she’s saying. So cute! 🥰

[@hopeard4014]

You’re doing a great job, mama ❤️

[@community2406]

They both are so sweet ♥️♥️♥️

[@Thelilmissbz]

She’s growing so fast 🥺 I call my little one booboo too! 😂

[@claire5087]

love the intro ✨

[@samanthakemp460]

I have a sleepy baby laying on my chest now ❤ love watching your baby grow!

[@basicvideo2269]

me too hahaha imagine how many more..

[@mamalifexo]

Literally MY child when in filming! It’s either trying to get the camera or telling or babbling every time I try to talk lmao!!!!🤣

[@euphoria9148]

Two videos in one week? Giiiiiiirl, go you!

[@meganaboud7148]

Her mischievous little laugh while needing to touch the camera hahaha!

[@donnabong]

Love the high chair! We got the same one after watching your videos :) I noticed that Arrow is quite a bit taller than my LO and we’ve lowered his footplate already. I think Arrow is ready to have the footplate lowered too! Keep posting Brittany!

[@brittanybalyn]

You are so right! Omg I haven’t lowered it!! Ahh hahaha - 🙃 thank you for letting me know in a nice way. Holy cow the little things. Doing it now 💞😂

[@Rowm222]

Arrow & Toddler in the same sentence now?! Time’s flying! She’s so BIG! My girl is 7 mnths almost 8. Watched you since the beginning 😭 🎀 (CUTE dress btw!!)

[@brittanybalyn]

Ahhh I know 🥲💞

[@kaseypeterson1621]

Our babies are exactly a month apart so my daughter Ellie turns one in less than two weeks and I just had my second daughter Isla who is just over a week old 😩. I’ve been following you since I was pregnant and I absolutely love your videos. Love you girls !!

[@AlinaNoelle]

My daughter was also born august 9th and turns one this year🤯🥳

[@jlr2282]

Oh my Irish twins. How cool and exhausting im sure. Congrats

[@misstessajoy]

My baby turns one august 12th!😬🤗

[@jamesyourhot]

Omg, I am sending you lots of love from another mom of two - and I am struggling even though they are 2 years and 3 months apart 😅

[@krishnacruz5419]

wow, that’s tough, but congrats!

[@sheshallbeclever]

Oh my gosh. My 8 1/2 month old is just as sassy right now! Oh I feel the struggle! My favorite part was her giggle while she was playing with the camera. Stickin cutie!

[@brittanybalyn]

Lol I die for the giggles 😂

[@atomickitten4648]

She was like I wanna vlog too mommy 😍😍

[@clairecoyle4729]

My little just turned one too and when we were watching the video and Arrow would go out of shot, my daughter would point at the screen and cry wanting Arrow to come back 😂🥰❤

[@ingridsilva6414]

I look forward to all your videos 🤍

[@MiriaaahLei]

My two favorites🥰❤️

[@riribeasley4741]

I can SO relate to struggling doing everything one handed and barely having time to eat😅 I totally use screen time when worst comes to worst. Don’t feel guilty! Whatever gets the job done ❤️ (this is more a reminder for myself and other moms haha, I still feel guilty at times)

[@brittanybalyn]

💞💞💞

[@lisaditz8061]

I think she say everytime on camera "hey guys", she is soo cute and you also😇

[@0na92]

Oh my gosh she has the cutest outfits!~ I'm obsessed with her chunky pink sweater! Where is it from?

[@hannahpalmer8043]

She is the most beautiful lil bb😍🥺🥺🥺

[@GeexTerror]

She is definitely attempting to communicate in her own way! My son is 2 weeks younger than Arrow, and he does similar things He says mamamama quite frequently lol but I don’t think he has tied mama to me Lol he also tries to say words it seems but hasn’t quite figured out what to do with his tongue and lips lol But if he wants a snack he slaps the bag and looks at me haha

[@izzylaing7499]

Same here with my 6 month old daughter lol. She can't say much words apart from mama and a couple of others. She hasn't figured out what to do with her tongue yet

[@ashleyf965]

Loved this vlog! Where did you get Arrows pink onsie?? It's so cute!!

[@monicac1411]

Yes, please please do a video on how you plan on introducing dairy into Arrows diet and how it goes ☺️ I’m trying to figure out the same thing, I’m just not breast feeding.

[@l_7376]

Okay, I've been staring at your eyelashes in the past few videos because they are FANTASTIC. What are you doing with them?

[@anabastos4274]

I love this

[@linnym9523]

Something that really helped my nephew was to get him his own phone, laptop, camera or whatever it was that he wanted. Whether it was just an old phone no one needed or a toy. Essentials just trying to copy us and do what grownups do

[@rachaelc5468]

You are bossing mum life 💪🏼💗

I like these kind of videos 😁

[@brittanyadsit6791]

Can you let us know your skincare routine. You have the best skin xx

Omg same with my baby those little tantrums are hard sometimes 😩 thanks for all the videos!

[@lisannedegroot1416]

The pink sweater Arrow is wearing is AMAZING! Love her brown bear sweater a couple of months ago too. Where did you get those?

[@americaherrera3282]

I’ve been looking for it forever 😫 I think I’ve only seen similar ones on Etsy

[@kayo1685]

We all want to see baby pictures of you & her dad next to her ❤️

[@lisastone7324]

Oooh I love the romper/ outfit when you were signing off! Do you remember where is from?

[@dawnforlife]

My babe is 10 months old and I am incorporating things for what they call terrible twos when they push limits and have their own personality. Not so much for her but I NEED the practice! ahhaah! From my understanding, it is overwhelming for them, as much as it is for us, parents. Giving them two choices and letting them choose, helps give them some authority instead of being told what to do all the time. I hope that helps!😊

[@brittanybalyn]

Yes this makes sense!! 💞 thank you!

[@brittanymerrier1766]

Redirecting is key. I would also suggest using the soft spoken words of affirmation on what you want Arrow to avoid and what is safe. 1. Keep calm and grounded, 2. Get low/ get to childs level, 3. soften tone of voice, 4. Explain in age appropriate, 5. Redirect, 6. Rejoice a good thing. Remember we're all learning as we go, you're doing great and days will be busy you will feel exhausted you will feel drained. This vlog is raw and down to earth. When you hear Arrow say a word repeat what shes saying it will help word association. See you Monday:)

[@hannahcox853]

Please make a video on it! I’m struggling hard on find a place for my 10m old when I’m trying to get something done!

[@aubreekeianna4309]

I swear when she gets by the camera she says “hi guys”

[@brittanybalyn]

I hear it 😂
