HI EVERYONE!! It has been a MINUTE!! I've missed my KZbin family! My sweet little boy has been taking all my attention and it's been the best season transitioning to Motherhood with him here. Wanted to film a Q&A and catch up with what we've been up to. We also have a new Elevate Beauty Collection Launching Tomorrow!! I added our promo video at the end of this video. I've been working on these Creme Glosses for SO long and am so happy they're finally here! Trying to juggle motherhood and work hasn't been easy, but it's been so wonderful spending every day with Adriel. Let me know what other videos you want to see!

[@valisityluvsmakeup5242]

Omg he is just the cutest Amanda!! He is so beautiful!!

[@ElizmaryMB]

Yaaaaay! Im so happy our babies are only a few weeks apart. It’s so beautiful to see someone is going through the same journey as me at the same time ❤️ God is good!

[@reignrainreyes5890]

Video on how you spend time with God or your walk with Jesus and the Holy Spirit as a mom

[@66blonde66]

Hi Amanda, congratulations on your baby boy, he is very cute🍼🍼🍼 I purchased your lipsticks several months ago and can’t wait to receive them. I’ll explain, as you don’t ship internationally I had them shipped to my daughter who resides in the US. I can’t wait until January 2024, when she visits so I can finally try the out. Could I make a request of your daily makeup routine and what products you like using now, it would be great. 🥀❤️🌹🌺

[@dynastyandrews2416]

The Internet can be a dumpster fire sometimes (or alot tbh) but im really grateful that women are sharing their experiences and ups and down in their journey to and in motherhood. There’s sooo much to learn with every woman’s experience and trials and errors. Im only 24 and not planning to have kids for another 5+ years but I LOVE mom/motherhood content. Another amazing video (as usual) Amanda !!

[@AmandaEnsing]

The internet can be super dark but I'm so thankful for the mothers who shared content bc I've learned a lot! I think it's silly we are expected to act like it's a piece of cake, instead of supporting eachother during the challenge. Challenging isn't bad, it just means hard. It transforms us into our purpose as women and I am SO blessed to have my son. It's the most beautiful journey

[@reignrainreyes5890]

4 months postpartum myself and I have a 3 year old, really been in prayer to balance it all, I know God is doing amazing things for my family and His people but definitely having a hard time adjusting sometimes. All glory to God. Happy your back and hear how motherhood has been for you. Need more Christian moms to connect with.

[@AmandaEnsing]

Moms helped me SO much after birth! It's such a journey and every mother's experience is unique. I would be SO tired and I would see Adriel smile at me and I instantly recharged. It's such a wonderful journey. God really refines us and it gives us a glimpse into Jesus love for us.

[@lyndseydalton5156]

I cannot handle how beautiful that baby is! What a blessing ❤️

[@Pichona29]

The glow in your eyes. The pure happiness. ❤❤ Gods blessing! He’s so cute and precious!

[@AmandaEnsing]

Amen! Thank you!

[@Emily31662]

I may not agree with all your viewpoints but I’m glad your baby has a mother who is involved and cares so much! Best wishes to you and your baby.

[@lily5ever]

Welcome back!! Your baby boy is beyond perfect 😭😭❤️

[@erikabreuner9234]

Love that you shared the correlation of SIDS and vaccines. People don’t talk about this enough!!!!!!!!

[@AlliGlow1]

Agreed!!

[@reyno6826]

As a nurse.... I completely agree!

[@riodavies4429]

This is why I haven’t been scared of bedsharing at all. We follow the safe sleep rules and my baby isn’t vxed.

[@brismuvela3631]

I was pregnant at the same time two of my sister in laws were pregnant, so everyone called our sons “triplets” Well the oldest one got his 4 month shots and immediately after that he passed during the night. It shook me to my core. The second oldest boy, his mom decided to hold off vaccines until 1 year old after that because of what happened. I decided to proceed with his programmed vaccine schedule because I live in a highly concentrated cosmopolitan city and I would never forgive myself if he caught a preventative disease. He is almost 6 now, on the spectrum, but he always was. In my case, it’s family history related. But I do think that SIDS and the shots have a correlation 😢 I am afraid to have any more kids. The world is so messed up

[@AdrianaHernandez-sb3fp]

I love this video! Been waiting for a video from you. Welcome to the mommy club it’s the best! I nursed my son till he was two and honestly it was best thing ever my son is now 10 years old and he is still a mommas boy!!!! Great to have you back!

[@KyraBowlby]

SHE’S BACK!!!! 💘 missed you queen!

[@kimberlyalthaus1602]

So happy to see you back on KZbin!! I know you've been soaking up all the cuddles with 'lil man! He's precious!!! Welcome back, girl!!!!!

[@dalilaguerrero5414]

Thank you for the hug girl as a single mommy I need it and yes it’s the worst thing having to go back to work😢 you’re doing amazing congratulations!!!

[@2user000]

He’s the cutest! Can’t wait to hear your full birth story 🙏🏽💓

[@JH-rh7vr]

Amanda, thank you for your courage in discussing the correlation between vaccines and SIDS. Pharmaceutical companies make billions from these so called necessary vaccines, despite the horrific harm caused to babies. Parents need to practicie critical thinking when it comes to what they place in their babies body. As a mother and psychologist, in the last few years post covid we have learnt so much about vaccines those related to covid or common childhood vaccines.

[@AmandaEnsing]

Amen!! It makes me sad that many can’t seem to break the propaganda paradigm they’ve been taught surrounding pharma. As parents we should take the extra time to read inserts & educate ourselves on toxic & harmful substances.

[@autumnsmith2091]

I am so glad you are back and doing well! I have been waiting for the next Elevate Beauty launch!

[@AmandaEnsing]

Thank you!! I hope you love our new collection! I’ve worked on it for so long and been waiting to finally share them with you all :)

[@jessicalara2900]

My grandfather was a dr and after I had my first baby he would always tell me belly wraps after birth are the worse thing you could do (yes the support feels amazing) BUT no wraps help your muscles start recovering and supporting everything like they used to. When you use the wrap it take the work out of your body and takes longer for your body to support itself! But to each their own! ❤

[@XTiiiNA06]

I love that you're back! Please more video on postpartum life and any tips! 🙏

[@beccaleigh524]

Our babies were born on the same day (4th kiddo for me) and I relate to all the things! 🥰 such a precious time ❤️

[@SueB402]

Amanda, you are an amazing mom and the love and joy you have for your son just radiates of pure bliss on your face. God bless your beautiful family ❤️

[@lauraneaves6912]

Amanda I had also prayed for a different birth/ labor experience than I got. I wondered why mine was soo painful and not what I wanted. I gave birth at home as planned with a midwife. She was ok but not my favorite! I had a beautiful baby girl May 13th and she's everything to me! I know what you mean. Thank you for sharing all things vaccines. I agree and don't see why a perfectly healthy baby need any. We won't be doing it either! Thank you for sharing your journey!

[@zoecoody2641]

Wow this sounds exactly like my early stages as a mom. My baby has always slept on/with me. Almost 2 years old and still with me all night every night. She just wants her mama and she will sleep on her own when she’s ready!! We are done breastfeeding now, but wow. Soak it in. Those were the best bonding months ever❤️stay strong mama and breath it in! It’s goes by too fast!

[@taylormeyers7372]

Your son is a blessing and so beautiful! God is all around you! Bless you and your family!

I am selfishly so glad you are back and I am so glad you took the time away. Just ordered your new lip products and I can not wait to try them out. I loved your Podcast too, hopefully you can get back to it. Congratulations to you and your family and for being such a great role model.

[@saphiraskeete5207]

Hi Amanda!!!! I missed you!!! I’m sooooo happy you back I definitely missed your videos!!! Congrats again on your beautiful son and the marriage!!! So happy to see you happy!!!

[@honeysoapcrafters]

What a BEAUTIFUL mom and baby! Congratulations, Amanda! My prayers for you both are for a healthy and happy life!

[@SummerAlHajri]

I remember you said you would share a video about what you did pre-pregnancy to help prepare your body for conception and while you were carrying the baby. Is that something you can share some tips about?

[@gisellemtz711]

Yes!!! I nursed all three of my girls till they were 3 yrs old best bonding feeling ❤ so happy for you Amanda!

[@nathaliemora4933]

Thank you so much for sharing your story, I am starting to do my research on so many things and I am so glad you shared this story. It’s nice and reassuring to see this birth story!

[@Emily-rr2si]

Amanda you are just amazing! I’m glad you are talking about cosleeping. I love doing so with my baby. Everyone shames me for it. But I always found it to be interesting in non western countries where it’s common to cosleep with their babies they have the lowest rate of SIDS.

[@killacore1]

Do happy to see you are happy and back looking better then ever, thanks for the peaks on Facebook your little one stole my heart, he is just precious 🌺🌺🌺💚💚💚

Eeyyy you got me lol I clicked to finally hear your birth story!!!

[@gscullark]

I am so thankful that you said no to the shots Are there specific articles about not getting shots

[@maritzah.4039]

Thank you for this! Came at the perfect time! Currently 10 days into being a new mom and currently going through the cluster feeding journey with my newborn late into the night 😅😅😅

[@Coalesce23]

Yes on the garlic for mastitis! It is a natural antibiotic. It cured mine alone within a few days tops. No side affects. My first time having mastitis I went fo the doctor and got an antibiotic prescribed and had horrible side affects… Was. Not. Fun. At. All. I’ll spare the details. Im so glad your doing this video. I wish I had advice when I was going through it. So helpful.

[@AmandaEnsing]

I always exhaust every natural route possible! I read antibiotics *may* only help if it's infection but just Mastitis is inflammation. Antibiotics are so hard on the gut biome so I avoid them at all costs. Even if I get a headache, I'll take some garlic and it helps clear it up!

[@LaurenCaseyy]

It’s so clear that you’re such an amazing mom 🤍 love listening to you talk about motherhood 🤍🤍

[@rlovesmac11]

I don’t see the prenatals linked….could you let us know which ones you used? Thank you!!

[@taylorcarter3886]

I love you Amanda! Fellow conservative here and I love everything you stand for! I so wish I would of pushed myself harder to breast feed both of my children it was extremely hard for me. And I wish I wouldn’t of gave them vaccines of course I never did flu or Covid but I did the other ones that doctors basically forced me to do. I cried Everytime saying this just doesn’t feel right I don’t want my children to have these. Anyways, love you and your a wonderful mom!

[@AmandaEnsing]

Don't let mom guilt get to you! We do the best we can, with the info we have at the time. You are a wonderful mom! Breastfeeding is HARD and especially when you have to go back to work if you have to go to a job. There' s not enough support for women to set us up for success but you learn!

[@myfriendmademereadit]

My husband and I are trying to have a baby so bad. It’s all I pray about. The doctor said I am going to have a harder time because I was on birth control for 12 years and it ruined my reproductive system. God is good though and I know if it is His will, it will happen.

[@jennifercramp1257]

Praying 🙏 God is not done! I speak healing and fruitfulness over your life in Jesus name 💛

[@AmandaEnsing]

Praying in Jesus name you will have a baby 🙏🏽

[@ally_h8742]

I was on birth control for 10 years and exactly a year of being off I became pregnant. Don’t put stress on yourself as it could make the process harder. Just go with the flow and it will happen for you. Sending lots of love and positivity your way ☺️

[@myfriendmademereadit]

@@ally_h8742 oh my gosh thank you so much. That makes me feel so much better actually. I do ovulate, the egg is just not fertilizing for whatever reason

[@ally_h8742]

@@myfriendmademereadit your welcome hon! maybe hubby can have a sperm analysis done as well, to see if his cells are at a good level. Things can happen when you least expect them to. Also, not sure what type of birth control you were on. (Shot, pill, patch etc.) but it can definitely be a little harder with the shot. I only say that because you don’t have a period for several mos. And hold that same egg. Personally, I was on the pill so I was still having my monthly cycle.. know you are not alone in this process, speaking with your dr about options definitely help. But I have faith god will bless you with a bundle of joy❤️

[@AlliGlow1]

Having children has helped me lean more on the Lord. Like, the love I have for my children is indescribable, and to try and imagine the love He has for us is incredible. You're a wonderful mother. You can clearly see the joy, you followong your instinct and guidance, and also being informed/educated on these big decisions we have to make as parents for our perfect babies. God bless🤍

[@AmandaEnsing]

Amen! God really refines and strengthens us. Being a mother is sacrificial love and I can’t imagine how much more Jesus loves us. It’s wild! God bless you!
