[@lekasa1508]

Wow all of these ideas are so good! Would definitely want to see all of those!

[@naty1012]

Setting boundaries with in-laws/How to treat with a clingy mother in-law in a gentle way

[@ritah_ndlovu]

These are brilliant video ideas!

[@itsyasmine225]

Yessss Pros and cons about having kids close in age please

[@samanthanieto473]

I just cleaned out all my YT Subscriptions, getting rid of so much noise to focus only on creators that are life giving, share my beliefs and provide valuable content. Girl you check all the boxes ❤ may God richly bless you!

[@Dree2022]

I need to do this as well. Who else do you recommend? 😊

[@SimplySharlie]

@mayagraves is also great

[@AmmaraSHAH773377]

​@@Dree2022leopsky's life hahhaha she posted her homeschooling bideo the same day as this too. Last time she also posted another decluttering organisation video the same day as milena's. Thats how found her when i was nesting at 37 weeks and was hooked and soooo happy to have found a backlog of content to go trhough very similar parenting and aesthetic it was like they are siblings or best friends doing the same thing with their own families. Except she is Canadian i think. Her family is bigger though but i like the environment of her home.

[@katrinarose445]

Oh, I just did this too!! Very few I follow now. I definitely kept my subscription to faith-based channels 😊

[@alena4212]

Literally just did the same thing over the past few weeks 😄 I unsubscribed from multiple KZbinrs who just didn’t provide godly content or whose videos just seemed unedifying and like noise. I love Deliah Leopky!!

[@vloy3080]

Milena! I LOVEEDD that you included that conversation between you and your daughter about where babies come from. Such an amazing example. Not making it a huge thing, just simply being honest and answering the question. Culturally that conversation varies and not everyone is so candid and I just love the way you had that convo. You go mama!

[@kelleyryanvlogs]

Could not agree more! So important 💗

[@EmilyMurphy0608]

As a mama to both bio and adopted kiddos, I loved hearing you explain how there are many different ways a baby or child can come into a family! 🤍

[@kelleyryanvlogs]

Absolutely agree 🙏🏽

[@HallieShepard]

Yes that was awesome!!

[@brennapetersen8522]

I was adopted :)

[@christinacoker1817]

I would love to hear you and your husband speak on how the Lord has transformed you both and what that has been like. I’ve watched for a while and have seen such a huge shift spiritually since moving and having your last baby. It’s been so encouraging and exciting to see. ❤️

[@daughterofthemosthigh6869]

I like this idea! But I think Jordan should say what he has seen change in Milena and vice versa! Also how they felt about the changes they saw such as the shift in parenting/ new modesty etc. That would be sweet.

[@Lola-eh9cp]

This!!!

[@joanatheisz9566]

I’d love to see a video where you show all your homeschooling materials, how you usually go about their schooldays and how you incorporate faith into it aswell. Or maybe specifically what biblical parenting looks like for your family:)

[@AlaysiaMarea]

They use the good and the beautiful curriculum, it is a faith based curriculum 🥰

[@shannonm2005]

Seeing this title breaks my heart. I love and adore your channel. As a single mother who lives in a condo right on a busy road, has to work full time to maintain bare minimum this is the life I pray for and can never have. I yearn to give my son better and to have family and more children but it’s just so far out of reach for me. So happy God has blessed your family. Just know you have a life that some people only dream of.

[@debrainspires]

Hi I used to feel the same way watching Milena's video. I'm a single mom now too and just seeing her videos made me feel sad because I wanted something like her life. But you have to be careful about coveting others. God knows the desires of your heart and will give them to you if you seek him first and above everything else. Don't be discouraged God cares about you just as much as He cares about her family. He loves you and wants to use you in a mighty way right where you are. One thing I'm in the process of learning is how much of blessing it is to have children and get to serve Him. I'm a single mom of 1 toddler and infant twins but I'm still incredibly privileged and blessed to have them. Circumstances can change in a moment. God bless you❤

[@tyradenise8067]

You are not alone. This is a desire for a lot of mamas. Just know that you’re doing amazing and your child sees that. Keep praying and I’m sending prayers. ❤️

[@hisloveiseternal1]

Not everyone was made to do that. But that is her calling ❤

[@ashleyvasquez4074]

Saying a prayer for you, Shannon! Keep clinging to the Lord and cry out to Him the desires of your heart. I hope that you get the family you dream of one day. At the same time, be sure to cherish your son and the time you have with him, as one child is still such a gift and blessing! ❤

[@kiayvonne22]

Please mama show yourself Grace. Never say never. Think highly of your blessings and those to come. I’m a single mom and i show gratitude. What i read was that you are a wonderful mom, blessed with a job that allows you to provide for your family that prays for more love & abundance.

[@eliasnowden5786]

I know you don’t have to share those moment 13:08 but the way you explained babies and where they come from was beautiful💗💗

[@MrsBriannaLee]

Hi Milena! I just wanted to say that I’ve been subscribed to you since Alethea was 1 and seeing how much you and your family has grown and changed has been such a blessing you’ve shared with all of us. I’m a fellow Christian homemaker and mama and the last six months especially, your videos and you and Jordan’s podcast has been so encouraging and a happy refresh from the noise of the world. I no longer have social media, just my KZbin channel, and after a subscription clean out I’m so thankful there’s still wholesome, relatable and edifying channels and creators out there like you to have. Keep up God’s good work sister! Praying today for you and your sweet family💕

[@lizakovalenko2257]

I loved the part when you were explaining how babies come to exist, I’ve been watching you for years since before Althea was even around and it’s so amazing to see how grown she is now. Time flies so fast ❤

[@Coffeandcreat]

Can you do summer/spring clothing video? Would love to see more of how your style has evolved.

[@LoveZaley]

So glad your back making videos! I find myself just rewatching your videos almost daily. Love your content! Would love you to share baby summer essentials and more about the new house build!

[@MilenaCiciotti]

[@arielmarley9605]

[@tahlia4189]

It's so good to have you back Milena - so happy that you had the well-deserved break that you needed 🤎 Can't wait to see where God leads you in the future. You are such an incredible Mum and have such a bright future in God. Praying for His abundant favour and blessing always 🥰

[@Sarahdommasch]

Please do more of these!! I’m about to have my first, but intend to follow your path on homemaking and homeschooling. Watching your videos helps me imagine what that life might look like ❤

[@Simpleegrace]

Please do an updated homeschool video ❤I will be homeschooling my daughter and son and I just want like some advise pointers tip tricks curriculum ideas schedules the whole thing hehe 😊I’m also a content creator so I’d love to hear how you add all that into your days work 🫶🏼

[@jazminehernandezz]

Aris voice is the sweetest thing

[@tabbyleblan6858]

started crying at you taping the book up, you are just so full of grace and it means so much

[@sydneycouch7334]

I am loving your content and after following you for a few years now, I have seen a huge shift in both you and your content in the last year or so and its been beautiful to watch the Lord work through you and your family. It excites me for the future and makes me dream about my future family

[@theparttimehomemaker]

I haven't watched your videos in a while- I'm so glad I'm back and that you're back too!!

[@Alexizvell93]

Love seeing how effortlessly you do motherhood you inspire me in so many ways. Being a mom of two one 3 the other 1 drives me a little bit crazy but the way you speak about motherhood makes me realize what a joy it is to be a mom . MISSED SEEING YOY AND YOUR FAMILY YAYYYYYY

[@beccabean17]

Hey Milena! I love how open and honest you were with Alethia in telling her the many different ways babies are born. I noticed you said that “babies can come from other people’s bodies.” I just wanted to encourage you in regards to surrogacy to really evaluate it biblically. As I discovered upon further digging it was something I didn’t believe the bible supported. Allie Beth Stuckey has a great podcast episode on it! Thanks for being such an inspiration to so many mamma’s ❤️

[@Eva_Hope]

Good point. Something us mums need to consider when teaching our children about babies. We are going against Gods will when we try to have a baby outside of ourselves.

[@AubreyHirdes-pz2qs]

I love watching homeschool content because I'm currently in a similar season as you:) also anything mom related! So glad you're back!

[@boneshakauhaahaa]

I loved the sweet, open, and educational conversation about birth with Alethea! ♥

[@belleingersoll6240]

sweet milena , wow ! what an absolutely beautiful video . i absolutely loved your ♡ behind this video && just your ♡ for homemaking && homeschooling ! you have such an intentional way that you go about homeschooling && the way you are just so present with alathea && ari is just such an encouragement to my ♡ . i have been homeschooled practically my whole life so i just am obsessed with the idea of homeschooling so i just love that the Lord has just laid this upon your && jordan ‘ s ♡ ! the Lord is so so steadfast && the fact that He orchestrated this is just so so sweet . you are such a faithful woman of God && i cannot wait to see how He continues to grow && refine you as you walk in obedience to Him ! you are such a sweet encouragement && i cannot wait to see how you are encouraged through this season . lean into Him in all ways && through all things && He will make straight your path ! He loves you so ! 🕊️🤎

[@taylorowens4290]

Loved this! I was super inspired by your purging vlog you did a few months ago. I’ve been trying to minimize with 5 kids and haven’t been able to fully do it. Something you said clicked and I’m SO thankful I watched it! Would love to see more tips and insight on keeping a flow/ cleaning schedule, purging, etc🧡

[@naomitrollopeillustration]

You are such a lovely mummy, and so glorifying to God on your channel. Your month off social media has inspired me to do the same. I’ve already had so much more free time. Thank you for sharing your family so openly, but also in a way that really respects your children’s privacy ❤

[@maria.distefano]

Milena, I just want to thank you so much❤️ You’ve been such an inspiration for me in my walk with Christ over the years and watching your videos always adds such joy and light to my day!!! I love the way you speak so highly of motherhood and how you’ve stepped into this calling with such grace and joy!! Even though I’m nowhere near becoming a mom, I’ve learned so much from you and seeing the way you are raising your kids makes me so excited to be a mama one day❤️

[@christinawatkinsyoutube]

hearing the kĺittle voices across the house is just so wonderful. I cant believe how big the kids are! you were deffff called for this, and I have been learning so much about homemaking and being a godly wife from you!! LOVE this content. so fun! (and when Ari said "Simon didn't say"! hahaha that was so cute!)

[@jenestes2099]

I look forward to your content it brings me strength and helps me focus more on what is the most important ❤Thank you

[@briannamichelle8604]

I would love to see another what you wear in a week video! Especially with spring and summer coming😊

loved this video, thanks so much for sharing pieces of your day with us, and sharing the joy you're having in your season of homemaking + homeschooling 🤍

[@Kelley_11]

Wholly molly I'm shooketh on how well Mr. Ari is speaking my son is a month younger and I was not expecting that I think it's so beautiful to see how different kids are and the things they become interested in in the beginning and how they flourish in that ❤

[@iiitx_ella]

Loved this video ♥️🫶🏻😻 Vlogs, vlogs, vlogs and more vlogs please I really do enjoy them it’s the best part of the day to watch these 🥹💕🤌🏻

[@hannahtrone9962]

Would love a video of your favorite clothing pieces/where to find them. You always look put together still even if just being at home!

[@mirunamariafilip9084]

I absolutely love your vlogs where you casually talk about a new thing that you tried or just an idea🤍

Mama's back idk how to explain it but I just learn so much from you and watchingur videos brings me so much joy and I missed you so much

[@imkristinamarie]

Hi Milena!! So glad you are back! I def like the vlog style videos more than sit down. Thanks! Love you!❤

[@genesisdeters1886]

Hi milena! Would love to see an updated what I wear in a week 💜 and more vlogs! Including what your Bible study time is looking like and your Pilates recommendations! Blessings to you and your family 💜

[@nataliemolina5098]

Hi Milena, I have a suggestion, try to make piñatas with the scraps. Or maybe try paper mache craft project. My family is Mexican so I when was little my mom would have us collect newspapers for months and scraps of any paper to make our bday party piñatas ourselves. She would buy a balloon, make homemade glue and then we’d work on making the piñata a week in advance for our bdays. I loved loved loved it as a kid.

[@allykinsrudy]

To organize scrap paper, an accordion folder works well! Then you can organize the scraps by size or color but it isn’t as fussy as a regular folder bc the scraps don’t have to lay perfectly flat. Or just a shallow bin might work, like the “turn in” bins in school or ones that sit on a desk

[@ivygregory3726]

So happy you're back!! ♥️ Would love to see the homeschool update.

[@pattywiegger4829]

You are so inspiring! After watching your videos I just feel such a mindset shift! The lord is using you in such an evident way! ❤ love love love you!

[@caraleelee2247]

Love the vlogs the best, also looking forward to an updated homeschool video! Thank you for being such a light here on KZbin!

Hi Milena, I have followed you since you were newly married!! I just adore your little family & how God has blessed you! I would love to see more of your homemaker days, how you & Jordan plan out outings with your kiddos and how you make time for self care. 😂

[@MissSeh95]

So happy you’re back! I really love your “clean with me” videos! And I also love your long form vlogs (40mins) xx

Hi Milena ! So good to see again ! Your vlog is the best ! Love to see how you schedule your day at home and do some homeshooling. ❤

[@viljamaria316]

So happy you are back!❤ would love a video of how you teach your children about Jesus and the ways it shows in your daily life and how you are raising your kids different from the world!Also updates on the video you made about changing what your kids are watching on tv etc! Weekly/daily vlogs! Q&A's!

[@RJ-bj8ic]

Your hair color in this video is so beautiful!!!

[@Singingdoctora]

Love that you use proper terms for body pets and don’t shy away from telling your children how they were brought into this world. I also love being mutually convicted about having Christ centered lives and how we raise our children.

[@nataliemolina5098]

I love this hair color for you 💚

[@lizette87ful]

Love seeing your videos Milena! I’m also follower of Christ and a homeschool mom of 3. Loved your last video as well about taking time off social media. What’s funny is every time I watch your videos I feel like I can relate so much as things that we’ve been through already or are in the midst of. In the beginning of the year we also get on a fast but I couldn’t get on a strict one like before since I’m nursing ( pumping) for our now 7 month old baby boy, but I was led to not only get off sugar for that month but to also fast social media such as my Facebook and Instagram since I would find myself clicking on the app all the time. I spend time on you tube but it’s all Christian videos if not help with organizing/ cleaning my home etc. I’ve slowly made my way back here and there on Facebook but I close it out as soon as I find myself spending too much time. I can also see a huge difference on mental clarity and less mental fog and tiredness from being off social media. We’ve also had a lot of spiritual marital breakthrough and it’s been beautiful to have the intimacy we had in our early years! Thank you again for your videos! Blessings to you and your beautiful godly family.❤

[@BetsyH-z7y]

I love these vlogs! Do you have anything recent on the kids daily routine - wake to sleep? I’m a sahm mom with 3 girls 2-6, homeschooling our oldest.

[@Mrs_G]

I enjoy both styles of content. Looking forward to a curriculum talk. It's nice to have both sides. It's like having a friend. Sometimes you sit down and chat other times you visit while doing the dishes. God bless :)

[@Ward_Life]

Watching ur videos always just inspire me to be better

[@jasminegleeson4650]

I'd love more videos on activities/sensory bins and home-schooling etc. I also like the toy organisation & like travel toy/activity/busy book style videos

[@claudia_christianmommy]

I’m in the same boat with 3 under 5 yrs of age and considering homeschooling but don’t know how you do it.. would love a video with more of a sit down talk about it. Thanks!!

[@mrspatriciasteele]

Just ordered your dress in the blue color instead! Thank you for linking it… so pretty ❤️

[@thecozystitchco]

You have shown me that i’m craving more quiet and homemaking. Thank you 🤍

[@robyn905]

Milena id love to give you some encouragement, as you have encouraged so many of us, including me. Your videos lately have been so biblical and this may attract less people to your page. I just want to say that those of us who have been here for the right reasons all along, appreciate you so much. Also unrelated but your brunette hair makes you look so youthful! ❤

[@Eva_Hope]

Her faith is most important to her.

[@kelsieamiyahh]

welcome back beautiful 🤍

[@nikkibuggy5010]

[@laurenmiller8455]

With the scraps of paper, you can make them into even smaller pieces or leave them as they are and make homemade paper! It’s relatively easy and many tutorials on pinterest or youtube

[@neshahampton6134]

It’s nice to see mundane life and homeschool with someone who has kids the same ages as mine. You are blessed. I have so much joy being home 🤎 Also I would love the link for the calendar in the kitchen?

[@alexisKa-night]

I really love the vlogs, I'm interested in seeing more of how you do the kids homeschooling as that is something i would like to be able to do with my kids in the future. Also, other video ideas organization as I'm wanting to really dive into that, recipes, and all things you and the family as I really enjoy getting to experience through your videos life with your family. Blessings to you and your family ❤

[@kyliehenline5022]

SO Glad to have you and your family back! When you took a month off, I actually decided to do it with you, but I actually deleted all the apps and don’t plan to go back. So freeing!! As for a video I would love to see is anything/everything to do with how you homeschool. I plan to start in a year or so and I’m always eager to see other people’s set ups 🙃

[@Myralovingbooks]

[@zoeybuttino]

[@jennifermiranda464]

Milena you are such an amazing mom, wife and Christian friend. Good ideas. -How to find intimacy with hubby when you both are busy. -Fav staple dishes/fav kid snacks -Cultivating good, healthy and christian friendships -what fasting/ptayer/ devotionals look like for you and hubby -good habits for keeping home nice and tidy -mentorship, how to find healthy christian mentors

[@elliegillett1724]

Love this video Milena ❤❤❤❤❤❤ everything about it is beautiful!

[@whitneytachie5022]

With the scrap paper, you could teach them how to paper weave. It's definitely a more complex concept (for young kiddos), but can be done with patience and practice.

[@HouseOfChannell]

Idea for construction paper scraps ( if no one already said it) they can make a “glass window” mosaic or use them to with glue to make pictures

[@erikabrumagin2334]

Can you explain good ranchers for us?? Like where you buy it? What you buy…etc. also maybe a short of how you make your juice and bread
