BALANCING TEACHING + BEING A MOM | week in my life vlog

[@sarahsameh2790]

i’m really thankful for your videos since i’m newly married and i’m working as an English Instructor so you literally gave me hope on how to balance both lives!! big thanks from Egypt

[@tiffanyblu156]

you're a supergirl! juggling and managing mom life, teacher life and youtube!!

[@KathyKellogg]

Yes!!! You guys are doing AMAZING as parents 🥰🥰🥰 Loved watching this video!

[@emmagracejoens]

Thanks friend🥹

[@945daddy]

Thank you for sharing. I actually searched up this topic because I will be teaching very soon. While I'm excited to teach, I've always wanted to be a mom and start a family in my mid twenties. As a kid, my mom was a stay home mom, so I don't really have an example in my life of a woman who works and mothers. So, this video was really appreciated and showed me that teaching and mothering at the same time is possible. :)

[@gabbie4602]

I looooove these types of vlogs!!!

[@emmagracejoens]

Yay I’m so glad!!!

[@jennalaurenjw]

I appreciate this video so much! I had my daughter when I was 17. My daughter is now 4 and I just finished my 3rd year of college and I’m so close to becoming a teacher! I’m nervous about balancing the two, especially as a new teacher. I love that you are including your mom life ❤️

[@Erica-gc2vj]

4 year teacher and new mom here (3months)! I love that you incorporated more of your life at home! I enjoy these home life videos because they’re very relatable. You’re doing a great job!

[@zoewilliams1090]

I love this and thanks for sharing. I also work in a school ( pre school teacher) and I’m a mum of three. It’s so refreshing to see you be honest with the juggle of being a mum and working. Your doing a fantastic job!

[@hannahbaker3095]

I enjoy all your vlogs but I really enjoyed this one because I am also learning how to navigate my new role as a teacher mom. I teach kinder, and I am a mama of a 9-month-old. I appreciate your willingness to share this part of your life. It is nice to know that I am not the only one struggling to balance being a mom and a teacher. I constantly remind myself of how blessed I am to be able to do what I love and come home to my sweet little man! We got this, Emma!

[@emmagracejoens]

Yes, you’re not alone! You’re doing amazing!💛

[@mrs_katie_in_elementary]

This was so sweet!! I actually really love the mix of teaching with lifestyle and home things 🥰

[@familythatlearns]

I really like these work life balance vlogs!

[@samisteachingjourney9667]

I start my first year teaching this coming year and I have three kids 5 and under. I love that you’re sharing motherhood and teaching. ❤️

[@gailrothermund9209]

Awww… sweetness! ❤️

[@lauranelson8977]

I have been loving your new into very creative!

[@RachHan2001]

I absolutely love this style of vlog! I absolutely love your content, your the best teacher and mama and inspire me with every video! Thank you for being the highlight of my week!💕

[@emmagracejoens]

Wow this is so kind, thank you🥹

[@malissac7966]

I had babies 18 months apart, it was a bit of a struggle to balance work and babies. My husband had a schedule where he was home a couple days a week, on those days I would stay at work to plan and grade. The other days I left work as soon as I could. It takes time, but you just have to find a balance that works for you. Your so lucky that you don’t have to worry about daycare.

[@nellygiler7075]

I appreciate you posting this! Im currently pregnant and a teacher and I do not see any teachers sharing how they balance mom/teacher life and would love to see more of that for inspiration 🤍

[@emmagracejoens]

I felt the same! I’m glad you enjoyed 💛💛

[@whitneyatkins2354]

I loved this video. Im a first year teacher and know that I want to have kids someday, so I love seeing how you balance everything. I would love to see a weekend in your life video.

[@emmagracejoens]

I’m so glad you liked it!💛

[@bellamerlo3750]

Your doing such a good job being a mom and being a teacher at the same time

[@jenniferlund9646]

Thank you so much for this video. As a teacher and new mom, it’s super helpful.

[@flwrgrl13]

Yay! Another video to look forward to. I know its hard being a parent and a teacher but I can tell you are doing everything you can for you, your students and your family to keep everyone healthy and safe❤

[@ambriadrinkscoffee]

Emma, I loved seeing you add home life balance to this video! Thank you for the perspective, as I am a teacher myself wondering how I will manage motherhood when I start a family someday. May God bless you, your family, and students ❤️

[@emmagracejoens]

I always wondered the same thing. Thank you💛💛

[@lifeofimaan]

Yay Another Vlog 🥹💕

[@paulamamaestra]

I LOVE this content! So necessary, thank you!!

[@School_Belle_72]

My one and only is headed to high school this year. I have begged him to go to the high school where I teach, but he has refused. He wants his I dependence, but I am not ready! I miss that cuddly baby I could pick up and snuggle. I wish I could say it gets easier. It just changes. Enjoy the rest of the summer!

[@joytimmerman6185]

You both are doing great! It’s such a hard balance but you will continue to figure it out with each new season. Prayers for you and your family!

[@emmagracejoens]

Thank you💛

[@sweethearthome]

You inspire me to show my life as a teacher as well. I feel like these videos are so cool to look back on!

[@emmagracejoens]

Yay! It’s like a video diary, it’s so fun to look back on!

[@kiahgrier4354]

I love watching your videos. Not in school for teaching but I’m in school for social work and want to do it though the school system. love watching you teach and be a mommy.

[@lonelygirlaswirl]

You seem like such a wonderful mom...Jordan is so lucky!

[@jessicaschoenfeld6773]

I love all of your content! thank you for allowing us a glimpse into your personal life!

[@ellied5668]

Please don’t stop making these vlogs! I look forward to them every week!

[@emmagracejoens]

Aw thank you!!

[@jordancrowley1400]

I got accepted into grad school for school counseling . I love watching the vids and see you interact with the kids

[@spencerlynnesurles4807]

From one working mom to the next - you’re doing great! It’s a hard life, but so rewarding!

[@eleanorjones26407]

Loved this! In the few vlogs since you came back from maternity leave I've been wondering how this side of things has been going

[@AshleyRae18]

i’m not a teacher so i can’t relate on that level, but i am a working mom! so i would love more motherhood vlogs! xx

[@allyssapackett9940]

What I loved about this, and it has nothing to do with teaching… Ellie was trying to get your attention while you were on the computer. Instead of petting her while you were working, you sat the laptop down and gave her some attention! I find myself way too often getting sucked up into what I have to do that I fail to see the desperation in the eyes of my kids and my pet. It tells them “my work is more important.” I’m so glad that you put DOWN that laptop! The 0.7 second action spoke volumes to me. Thank you.

[@emmagracejoens]

🥺🥺💛

[@viamemishi2021]

I noticed that too and really loved seeing that!

[@allyssapackett9940]

And Emma… may I add that you are doing a splendid job at balancing. You don’t see it, but the little bit of your life that we as viewers see, girl, you’ve got it down. I have 2 boys (preteens now), and I would NOT have had my life as together as you seem to. Again, you may not see it, but you are so much more mature than most others your age. I am almost TWICE your age, and I wish I could be more like you. 😎

[@carleerutledge4946]

This was my favorite of your videos!! I’m pregnant and a 3rd year teacher and I’m kinda nervous about being a working mom! You make it look flawless!

[@emmagracejoens]

Omg thank you!!! Definitely not flawless but doable with support!😊

[@eeeeeeee60]

"I'm sitting in my bed ... Because I wanted to sit in my bed" GIRL YES me too

[@emmagracejoens]

😂😂 it’s my favorite place

[@marisolmartin1329]

Work life balance does get easier with time. My kids are 23/21, and I would love to go back to when they were Jordan’s age. Only 5 more weeks to go as well

[@kaylafischer9524]

My mom is doing the ABC countdown at the school that she works at right now with the teachers and students as well all the way until school is over for the summer.

[@RubyWeingartner]

you are doing such a great job!! sending love from brooklyn!

[@Bundanyakembar2863]

i am a teacher from indonesia and i am really grateful for to find your vlog. thank you very much, but I am still wondering, may we know when do you cook, what time do you do laundry, cleaning house, etc...because we here in indonesia do it everyday and it takes much time

[@ribbymac7736]

so sweet to watch, so exhausting for you. Have you heard of Wonder Weeks? Sounds like Jordan is going through the 4th leap.

[@emmagracejoens]

Yes I do! She definitely is😅

[@mariacesar1328]

So beautiful! Where did you get the cactus 🌵? It’s too cutee!! 🥰 God bless you guys 😁🙏

[@emmagracejoens]

My mom got it for her but it’s from Amazon!

[@matthewmok1575]

I know my daughter Danielle knows it’s hard but she’s glad you were able to find a balance

[@shelbybryant5977]

You should check out early adventures she's a teacher and mom of two.

[@GSlover14305]

Loved this type of video so much! What breed is Ellie? And is Jordan going to be an only child or do you want another baby?

[@mvlog9916]
