I’m reading the comments and some people disagree with the fact you shaved their heads but I think it was the right thing to do because you guys didn’t want to leave Bri with this while you guys had to leave and would be constantly washing their hair and worrying about it. Hair grows back before you know it. I feel so bad that you had to go through leaving the kids at the home when they were so excited to go but it’s better to be safe and not spread it to other family and friends. Everything will be okay and I hope things have got better for your family ❤️

[@becskirk293]

Nicole Rose but I bet Olivia likely has them too and maybe even Bonnie and Joel. The whole family needs to be treated or it will be a vicious circle ! My boys are older now so not an issue at high school here in NZ but when they were younger it was awful. Just pleased I had two boys with short hair and one was a blonde so very easy to see them when hair was wet.

[@yorkieslave8723]

becs kirk maybe they don’t either and there is nothing wrong with boys with shaved heads

[@TheOtherSideOfAlex]

Totally agree

[@becskirk293]

YORKIE SLAVE Never said anything was wrong with shaved heads . Just saying you need to cover all bases. Lice can stay around for a long long time if you don’t get on top of it.

[@yorkieslave8723]

becs kirk I do realise this,I have adult children and Bonnie did t to cut down work for bree,anyway this was days ago now

[@toniaduplichain9482]

Best advice we EVER got... add a few drops of tea tree oil to your shampoo bottle. (A kindergarten teacher told us about this... those that didn’t do it got it more than once) We did it until they were done with the elementary years.

[@skyealexa3406]

Tonia Duplichain I do that ! It helps a lot

[@toniaduplichain9482]

Skye Alexa it was hands down one of the BEST advice I’ve ever gotten and ALWAYS try to share with friends just before school starts.

[@bostelmanfamily]

For what ages? Will it burn their eyes?

[@toniaduplichain9482]

Craigand Amber we started when they started kindergarten and put 3 small drops in a regular size bottle of shampoo and shook it up good every time we used it. (No, but I was always SUPER CAREFUL when using it... I let them hold a damp washcloth over their eyes to make sure.)

[@toniaduplichain9482]

Craigand Amber at least I believe it was 3.... it wasn’t very much at all I remember that.

[@ames218]

"I'm a doll nerd" 😂😂😂 Olivia is so stinkin sweet!

[@_Nat_A_]

Tell the boys they are handsome. I was so there with your mother’s heart, but I bet they are ok now❤️

[@jaimemcnall2919]

You have to flip your hat upside down, fill it with socks, undergarments etc. then pack shirts around the bill and it wont get ruined!

[@monstana]

Jaime McNall that’s what I wanted to say! 😄 So simple, so clever!

[@kimmychan1967]

Uh oh. I wondered why Boston has his head shaved in your insta stories!

[@Miss_cin2]

Kim Durrant I’ve been wondering too, saw at her insta story too😄

[@rebkat47]

Kim Durrant They do suit it

[@ohzraven3581]

Did she shave Olivia’s too

[@michellehawksworth5944]

Marci M which they started they got all the bedding out of the house.

[@eileenmcdonald3162]

Nope and she didn't seem to treat her or how is hair either

[@krvowell]

Oh my heart, I am so sorry. This literally “Bonnie voice” broke my heart. They’re beautiful no matter what and you show them that! Love you, girlie!

[@jackievanderbilt2196]

Love this video! This is 100% what being a parent is! I felt bad for you when you were crying for your kids missing the party. We've all been there. You captured it on camera though that's what makes your blog so cool. Makes all us moms feel better we're not alone

[@SP-ue3nq]

You didn’t need to shave their heads. You just need to use the shampoo properly and take out the Nits with the comb.

[@Wrenna]

Tears and commotion over lice? Your Mom was right... you buy the stuff, you treat the kids, you get on with life.

[@Ali-gy7om]

Luci La'Mareschal yeah that’s all my mom ever did. You’d swear they were dying.

[@mykatelynn3336]

My mom new that I had lice when she comb and there was lice all over the comb

[@alexish9717]

I think that it’s beautiful and so genuine of Bonnie to cry. It shows how caring and loving she is towards her children and their feelings. For her to react that way shows to me that she feels what her children feel and if they are sad, she is sad.

[@miadagostino9588]

My mom thought I had lice when I didn’t. And I started crying.

[@kentcrumley3355]

Yep.Theres nothing you could do.It's just how life works.It does not always go as planned.😭😭😭

[@Christina4tier]

Oh Bonnie!!!! I’m so sorry that happened to your kiddos and that it happened right before you left for a medical appointment out of town. I know how strong you and Joel are and that our Heavenly Father is guiding you through these hard days. You have such a testimony of God’s hand in your life, how resilient your children are, and how much stronger you are than you thought!! ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️

[@cherylcervera2259]

Bonnie, this too shall pass, bad things happen to good people, but you and your family will come out STRONGER after this! Always big hurdles to climb with children, but it will be OK. Your children will always have friends because they are too KIND and SWEET!! Much love

[@kathyabel5338]

Bonnie, when will you stop being so self centered?

[@user-hd9rs8vf4v]

Kathy Abel If she WAS ‘so self-centred’, she wouldn’t have been so upset about the situation

[@kathyabel5338]

Crocodile tears. :(

[@saraann8701]

Never.

[@HangingOutWithChristy]

That sucks !!!! Hang in there !!!! Life can be such a mess sometimes!!! Thanks for making this video !! :)

[@ranaa3851]

U don’t have to shave the kids heads bc they get lice, there’s treatments for a reason lol. The lice will die and fall out or comb out.

[@Ali-gy7om]

Yeah and their hair was short anyway. She sort of over reacted 🤷🏼‍♀️

[@downtonviewer]

When I worked with children, it was a common occurrence. I hate the chemicals so I got one of the electric combs. Works great!! Every time I'd hear a "beep", I knew one of those suckers was dying. I'd comb through after work every day, just as a precaution.

[@MrsMeagonFaulkner]

Where do you buy a comb like that?

[@andreatherese1099]

walmart sells them. :)

[@marilyntainamartinez2426]

electric comb?where can I get one of those I'm a mother of seven 5 girls 2 boys and my girls hair its sooo long some curly and waivy been through this twice sucks

[@N86769]

Oh my goodness, Bonnie. I am so sorry. Only a parent could truly understand your pain. You are amazing. I could cry with you just thinking about what you are feeling.

[@jordanhenry38]

You guys are such a great family. I love seeing how great of a mom, wife, and woman you are. You juggle everything so well and still are so emotionally invested in everything you do and everyone you care about. That is such a wonderful thing to watch. And honestly, you take fashions and style risks that I wouldn’t be brave enough to make and it makes me think that you’re a normal woman like me, and if you can be that fabulous, so can I. Thanks for that!

[@CherrySoda9-9]

I don't know why people always watch these vlogs and make bigger deals out of things Bonnie says or does than they actually are? So many comments below that Bonnie is being overdramatic and terrible for shaving the boys' heads, and that she shouldn't have left. But...it's just lice, it's not a death sentence. Bree is with the kids and very capable. Grandparents are nearby, if need be. The boys will be okay. Considering Bonnie was in the same outift during the hair washing and at the end, I'm assuming this all happened within a few hours. I can't imagine how stressful that whole situation would have been if you're literally trying to leave for the airport and, suddenly, you have to deal with lice. Sometimes, you have to make gut decisions as a parent. Sure, she could have left the hair alone and let Bree do shampoo and medicine and all that, but hindsight is 20/20. Perhaps Bonnie was emotional at the end because she knew her boys were upset over their hair. She wasn't saying they were ugly or wouldn't have any friends at school, she was repeating what Boston and Cody were crying about. Kids can be overdramatic too, remember. I imagine there's a bit of mom guilt in there as well, but lice is not a reason to cancel an important trip. Give Bonnie a break! Sheesh!

[@amaliav846]

Jessica Abriel best comment I have read, I don’t understand why people are being so rude to Bonnie

[@amberharris4751]

Already itchy from the title, haha.

[@kristenshroy]

YES!

[@dashn08]

me too!

[@Molly-dg3bs]

Haha same now I'm scared for no reason!

[@jenbowling]

This broke my heart. Bonnie you are the sweetest. I hope your trip goes well. I know that was so hard leaving with all of that going on.

[@angelahaddock2349]

Omi heart. I just cried with you at the end of this Bonnie. At the end of a storm is always a rainbow. Thank you for sharing the good, beautiful, bad and ugly. Sending happy love your way!

[@miekejvrensburg937]

Bonnie. Omw. Everytime you cry, I cry. I feel like I can feel exactly what you are going through. Lice is just one of those things. Your kids will scream and cry but they do not hate you. When they are older they will understand. Sending love and positivity to you and your family. Goodluck in New York!

[@pen0ptic0n]

Oh Bonnie, my heart breaks for you. Leaving your little ones in a whirlwind when everything isn’t ok is so hard. Bree is amazing though and she’ll take care of the situation. Take care of yourself, everything will be ok. ❤️

[@missa7285]

Bonnie. Your a great mom and you have a beautiful daughter and three handsome boys. Nothing could ever make them ugly. They have great personalities that shine threw tough times. Remember it is just hair and it will grow back. I love you and your family. Keep pushing threw.

[@Hallz18]

Seriously Lincoln is sooo stinking cuuuute!!!!!! Awww Bonnie I’m sorry about all the craziness before your trip! 😞

[@Dancetilludrop13]

Oh Bonnie! What a mess, I am so so so sorry for the kids and you! You made the right decision and they will understand that. ❤️❤️ so many hugs going your way!

[@mgrant9300]

If lice is the worst thing that happens your sweet babies you're pretty dang lucky. Hair grows back. They are handsome as ever! ❤️

[@rsilva2652]

Oh no!😫 don't worry mama, i've totally been there with my daughter, i'm sure by now it's probably starting to clear up, but next time go to the pharmacy, they have over the counter treatments that clear up the lice super quick without having to shave their heads🙂 Also, a shower cap helps to make sure it doesn't spread💜

[@rsilva2652]

@@bonniehoellein awesome!💜🙌🏼

[@rsilva2652]

@Mystic Blackston yes!💜

[@tellithowitis898]

Bonnie Hoellein this is late comment but I’ve found that combing their hair after washing and has conditioner in their hair before rinsing really helps prevent head lice. I do this at least once a week with my kids to avoid them getting out of control.

[@bc771]

I'm so sorry about the lice, Bonnie. Many prayers your way that everything works out.

[@andreapeck2014]

Oh nooo!! 😂😂 I can only laugh because we went through this with both our girls last year (and it’s bound to happen again!). Praying for you, Bonnie.

[@allisonescandon328]

So so sorry you guys!!! I can only imagine how your heart's were breaking!! Being a parent is so so tuff and doing the right thing is not always the easiest way. And from an outsiders perspective, you guys seem like you are rocking the whole parenting game!!

[@saramiles7829]

Im sorry Bonnie. You are such a good mama you can see how much all of your kids adore you. Their hair will grow back. It will be ok!! Bless your heart.

[@stickbug7728]

Oh, Bonnie, I love how raw you are. It will be okay.

[@alanatopper]

What a hard day! Thank you for sharing with us. It’s so hard to make decisions for our kids especially when it sucks for them and they can’t understand. Hope things are better today.

[@nicoledreibelbeis2192]

Oh Bonnie, my heart broke for you, I know that must’ve been so overwhelming, especially trying to leave for a trip! Poor kiddos but I have a feeling mom was suffering more! It’s so hard when you try to do everything right for your family and then things go wrong that are out of your control!

[@amaraklisch8333]

But what about Olivia? Did you comb through her hair? And did you shave Lincoln’s head too?

[@ashleyboyce4971]

Saw Boston with the shaved head on instagram story and LOVED IT!!! Ni matter how much or how little hair they have, they'll always be handsome!

[@ayanjirous9325]

Your in my prayers Bonnie . Stay strong Bonnie, Boston, Cody, Olivia , jole 🙏🏼❤️

[@ambertherese9080]

Thank you for sharing your daily stories through your ups and downs.I'm not a perfect mom, but I'm not a bad mom. I'm a mom that tries every day to do the best that I can. I'm also a mom that supports without judgment. So sorry you have to deal with this and remember this too shall pass!

[@emmafallsinlove]

Oh Bonnie, I feel for you so hard. It’s heartbreaking when we have to make decisions that devastate our children. But you made a great decision to keep them from their cousins and other family members, the risk is too high. I hope they’re all feeling better.

[@mellyb818]

Ugh it happens to everyone. I’ve had it as a kid it sticks with ya. But you did what ya to do and when he’s grown they’ll about it! I think they look like cuties!! You’re great parents.

[@Tammywana]

Oh god bless you bonnie those parenting moments are the worst. But the good news is your kids love you and are strong like Jolie so they will be ok.

[@EmeryShae]

Awe, Bonnie. All the ❤️ from me!! I just dealt with lice on one of my girls in the past couple of weeks. She got it from her cousin. It was awful at first. But I actually found it therapeutic to check all my girls’ heads. Slowly combing through every tiny section of hair. Thankfully she didn’t have a very bad case of lice. My head still itches every time I think about it.

[@brittanynovello5027]

Aww my heart just breaks for you at the ending of the vlog. You did the best you could do with everything. 💚💚💚

[@particlesofarticles]

Oh I'm so sorry, my heart goes out to your sweet babies.

Awe... this is horrible for you and your family.. I’m so sorry for you all ..positive vibes & prayers for everyone ❤️🙏🏽💙❤️🙏🏽💙

[@donnacox121]

Thank you for sharing even the not so pretty parts of life with us! I don't mind one bit if you have breakdowns on camera, it's real life and that's what I like to see! I love relatable content. Hugs to your sweet family.

[@debbliles1069]

Apple cider vinegar & dawn dish soap! It clears it up every time. The vinegar loosens the sticky on the hair & dawn cleans them out!!! Good luck!

[@Ceratops08]

Oh my goodness! I feel for you all! Praying things got better!!

[@austinsmith1877]

Bonnie, you guys are so strong! My family has been through this before, and it sucks! Doing laundry all the time, and treatments help! I am also so sorry about all the hate comments on this video, people apparently have never had commitments that they just cannot cancel! You are great, your family is great and keep up the good work! I look forward to your videos everyday! 1 day at a time girl, hang in there!

[@lindsay2721]

awww im so sorry Bonnie .. with kids its always something and unexpected! parenting isn't easy! don't worry everything will work out! sending calming comforting vibes your way! xo

[@Juliaisone]

Bonnie ! You are looking good! I can see the results of surgery. I am recovering from a breast lift right now , and last year I had a tummy tuck. Recovery is slow , but it's 100000000000000% worth it! I do not feel guilty at all for having my surgeries. I am so happy I did them , I can't wait until I'm completely healed from my current surgery. It's very frustrating to have to rely on my family to help me. It's frustrating not to be able to do everything I normally do. It's frustrating waiting to feel back to normal.

[@alexdivita3319]

Bonnie you did the right thing just know that!! You are an amazing mom!!❤❤❤❤❤

[@kerireyes3967]

Oh poor Boston and Cody! They look so sweet with their buzzed heads. And thankfully it will be back soon. Lice love clean hair so if anything this shows how clean your are 😉😉. 💕 hope it’s all cleared up sooon!

[@nighthawkdragonfly8339]

I feel so bad for you and the kids. You are a great mom and I hope your and Joel's trip is not ruinef

[@justinsatteson381]

Aw, I would be crying too. You're their mama and just want to make everything okay and not only did you have to leave, but they made presents and were so excited to go to that party. I understand and sympathize with you. Make the most of your trip and come back and do something special with them. -Theresa

aww what a day you've had hopefully tomorrow is a better day! you and your family always puts a smile on my face x

Martha Gonzalez Lice is a mother’s worst nightmare because she most likely will be the one combing threw everyone’s hair for weeks! I no this all to well and it can happen too the cleanest kids / people. I was paranoid for ever bc I thought I would have it too but I didn’t lol I doubt you or Joel have it either

[@alliewillenborg7330]

You are the best mother ever. You do what u got to do. I am 18 and have a son. I know how hard to leave your kid

[@TashaHericks]

It happens. It's ok. I understand the frustration. Sounds like a stressful time but you'll make it through it and itll be ok.

[@thebigbangjule8472]

Love your vlogs because they are so real and honest. You don't just always show lifes sweet side, but also the hard stuff...I don't like to see you crying Bonnie. You are an amazing mom! It's such a bad timing...you had to leave it's totally understandable...I see your conflict, but your children will be okay. It's a bummer that they couldn't go to that party...Your boys are handsome no matter what! Sendi g you lots of love!

Oh man I have been there it is rough. You handled it very well. You are a great mom. You got this. By the way you look fantastic.

Way to go Bonnie looking so much better your so organised honey your such a great mum the kids look so nice in their church clothes what a wonderful family and yes even with head lice

[@loriadams1588]

It’s not fun, but it will be ok, Bonnie. I think most kids get it at one time or another. It’s hard when you have to leave your kids when they are already upset. Sometimes there are circumstances beyond our control. Hope you have a safe trip. Your kids will be ok to, as they are more resilient than we think. Much love to you guys💜❤️.

[@Heidi7828]

Oh Bonnie, I'm so sorry! I know it's hardest when you see your kids cry and are upset and to have to leave on top of all that had to be terribly hard!

[@Jingerrific]

Awww dang! Totally know that feeling! It’s so stressful as a mom to get that under control! You’re a rockstar Bonnie!

[@kristihutchings4825]

My heart goes out to you Bonnie!! My daughter got those little buggers when she was 8. It was the most annoying thing ever! I spent days cleaning like a mad woman only to have her friend sleepover 3 weeks after and she brought friends. Had to do the whole process all over again...It sucked!!!

[@amykins812]

I would be crying too! What a hassle right before you leave and breaks my heart that they missed out on something they have been looking forward to!

[@Opal07]

I am the same as Lincoln of Halloween. Lincoln is so cute in his costume.

[@ItsallintheDEtails]

Aww so sorry Bonnie! It will work out ❤️ It will be ok. I’m sure you are thanking your lucky stars for Bree. She can do what you can’t right now. It’s ok for us to rely on others sometimes 😘

[@KeriLeighplus3]

Oh Bonnie! I’m crying right along with you! My daughter (now 14). Gets lice constantly. She wears ponytails & braids all the time to help prevent them. They dont like tight braids and she still manages to get it. I am so very sorry they were so upset! Prayers!

[@katrinamt8808]

Bonnie, you did what was best for your family. 💙

[@janedoe7187]

Aww man Bonnie this sucks. Just remember, you are a good mom. Your distress at the end of the video shows just how much you love your kids and care about their feelings. Sometimes sh*t happens and you gotta do what you gotta do. Everyone will come out the other end just fine ❤

[@brookemackin4891]

I loved Boston’s little bow tie!😁 It was so cute!

[@erinbradley9468]

My heart was breaking for you guys I’ve been in your shoes so many times my girls use to get it all the time poor babies I hope your all cleared up and they look great with or without their hair love and god bless

Bless your heart Bonnie!!

[@briannagenek5561]

Bonnie , you are an amazing mother . Don’t listen to the terrible comments. Kids get lice , little boys get there heads shaved , kids cry. It’s not the end of the world . You did the right thing. The world can’t stop because these little things happen. Love you and support you all the way !

[@lilmama07111]

Oh Bonnie!!! I remember when I was little we had a summer trip every year to my grandparents house. One year my mom found out my sisters and I had lice the night before we left. She cut our hair from middle of our backs to bob hair cuts and we cried the whole 9 hr drive to grandmas. Looking back now I realize it wasnt such a big deal and 100% get that my mom was just as heart broken as we where. They are handsome boys and their amazing personalities and huge hearts will always outshine their hair!! Hugs momma!!!

[@MaxineIrvine]

Tea tree oil shampoo and conditioner! Kills them and makes it easy to slide comb through. Only thing that worked in my hair

[@julie841223]

Yes! Even just adding it to your every day shampoo and conditioner can help prevent it.

[@harpergrace5846]

Mummy and Kodi Adventures! They make a tea tree oil shampoo it’s kinda pricey but works well no lice for 3 years now

[@LIZZyNIqUZZ10]

I put 2 drops of tea tree oil in a water bottle and in the morning when I'm doing my kids hair I spray them with that to avoid them getting lice at school. It sucks for them 💔

[@harpergrace5846]

Eli :] it’s worth it in the end

[@andreatherese1099]

We spray every day too. We got it from church once and never again.

[@bkang]

Aww Bonnie, we used to get headlice a lot when I was a little girl - apparently they gravitate towards clean hair, so at least there’s that!!! Sending you so many hugs and loads of love, what a sad and stressful day for you 😓😓💔😘😘😘💕💕💕💕 xxxxxx

[@sophiarae3119]

The boys are so sweet also Olivia,❤️it’s ok boys hair grows back SO FAST!

I love you guys I have been watching for like almost 2 years💕💕💕

Aww I’m sorry I know some time has passed since this was filmed but I hate to see you and the kids feeling sad. I hope things have cleared up now! Hugs!

[@kellytomlin4558]

Oh Bonnie I am so sorry, that sounds like a rough day! I hope you and Joel don’t have it. Big hugs from me!

[@taylorhunter5111]

Okay, Bonnie you are a great mom. All of these people who are supposed to be here watching YOUR life and getting motivated to improve theirs don’t have any say in what you do with YOUR children. Honestly, they are boys. Their hair is half an inch shorter and will be grown back in a week. You should not have to put your life on pause every time something happens with your kids, of course they are your world you clearly feel that way!! You were crying because your boys had to shave their heads and you couldn’t be there for them. That’s a great mom right there. Everyone who is hating on you wish they were half the parent you are. Keep up the good work and don’t feel guilty!

[@Andreadeener1031]

My gosh Bonnie!! How stressful! My OCD automatically kicked in when you said the word lice. My daughter got lice from a day camp one year and it was horrible. I cried and I was worried, but that too shall pass. Keep your head up mama. You are the strongest and the best there is.

[@brendad940]

Olivia is the most creative, sweetest thing! Future head of design at Bollie for sure! ❤️❤️❤️
