i'm back! where i've been & life update

Oh hey!! I took the month of June off from social media. It was so needed. Today I'm sharing why I took a break, what we've been up to, and a couple things happening going forward. I'm grateful that you're here and so excited to keep on keeping on after a much needed break. :)

If you need video ideas, share more budgets of different families. So interesting to see what different families prioritize, what they spend vs what they make.

[@kay-bc3vl]

Yessss I love these!

[@ritalev7538]

Yes! I feel like that would be very engaging

[@Natalie_11188]

I recall her having a series like this before.

[@TheBudgetingWife]

Thank you for sharing! I’ve done these in the past and they didn’t get the best views but I’ll give it another try. 😊

[@kay-bc3vl]

@@TheBudgetingWife if you need a budget to do, let me know and you can have my deets 😁

[@cerick-j6v]

One video idea that I think would be really interesting is to have viewers send in their current budgets and how they'll adjust those budgets once student loan repayments start. Also, thank you for sharing about kiddo's allergy! We have a younger kid with egg and sesame allergy and it is SO HARD. Non-allergy people don't understand.

[@TheBudgetingWife]

That's a great idea! And those are two difficult allergens to avoid!

[@anniekay7534]

Welcome back! Take all the breaks you need - we will be here when you get back! 😊

[@mycashlife]

Marissa! I was so excited to see a new video from you. I was thinking I hope she updates us on the kids and we get to see them! When you shared your decision to not share their faces, my heart was a little sad because I’ve loved getting to know them, but I so admire your steadfastness as a mother knowing what’s best for her children! I’m so happy that you have peace in that decision. Even happier that you will still continue making videos :)

[@TheBudgetingWife]

Thank you so much for that encouragement. ❤️ I want to share them too because they’re so dang cute. Haha but feel like this is the best decision for us. ❤️

[@williamwarren9448]

Share anything financial ! The wonderful family stuff isn’t needed for me to enjoy learning and the insights you offer ! Glad you are ok and yes absolutely seasonal depression is sooooo real … lived on rain forest coast in Washington state for 4 years so grateful to move back to Cali and now to arizona .. no more issues ! Glenda in mesa

[@beckya2939]

Happy to see you are back! If summer brings you that much joy, I say you take every June or July off if you can 😊 Motherhood with young kids is hard and gloomy weather 9 months out of the year is brutal (we have the same here, so I feel you). So happy that you gave yourself the brain space back. I’m making some major life changes to do the same. The older we get the more we realize what is most important to us. Keep taking care of yourself!

[@TheBudgetingWife]

Totally. ❤️ thank you!

[@saraibucciarelli1821]

Welcome back!

[@ariseinsimplicity]

Hey Marissa🌼! I'm happy to see you back, and so glad to hear you took time for yourself and your family. I am sure it gave you more clarity on how to move forward and I am excited to see your future content ✨️🙌🏼.

[@TheBudgetingWife]

Thanks so much for being here!

[@amandamartelli8811]

My 2yo has dairy, egg and cashew nut allergies. We live in Nz and it’s a lot easier than it sounds in the USA to eat out but we still hope we can do immunotherapy therapy for him with egg and cashew nut. He should grow out of the dairy. Very supportive of you not showing your kids as well. It’s so creepy to think that if you weren’t with them that someone would know their names. We don’t share my son at all except for encrypted messages to close family and printed photos. I don’t like the facial recognition technology.

[@yangiemouie]

I was wondering where you went. I enjoy your videos and appreciate you sharing, though you know you don’t have to explain. Sending you lots of peace and big hugs. Whatever you decide to do, we’ll always support you.

[@fromthedeskofyas]

I totally respect your decision to not show the boys! I feel like much of the "resistance" for me in showing up on social stems from feeling like I have to show my kids, since they're SUCH a big part of my life. Your video has inspired me so much that I can show up as just ME.

[@TheBudgetingWife]

Thank you! It's been a journey to also discovering more of who I am as just me!

[@tsanislavaruseva4779]

Good for you for taking a break when you needed it. I am so happy that you are back and I am looking forward for your upcoming videos!

[@cmjames1047]

Hiya! I never really comment, but wanted to say I’m glad to see you back! I used to live in Seattle and honestly couldn’t take the gloom anymore so we ended up moving-I get it! It really does seem like a good idea to plan for some time off for yourself if you can especially when it’s sunny and the job doesn’t come with traditional vacation time.

[@TheBudgetingWife]

Thank you so much!! Idk how much longer we can handle the gloom. Lol

[@salomepereira6967]

Rocking the middle parting! 🎉

[@VADyoutube]

Yieyy so happy you are back! Social media can be toxic so take all the breaks you need. Take care x

[@yvettedejesus3109]

Its great to take care of your mental health especially as a mom! Adulting can get very stressful.

[@MAMABEARPREPPING]

Glad to hear you are doing and feeling good. I feel you 💯 on the content social media part. It’s tough. Hope you all have a great 4th of July. -Tasha

[@tessfleming3263]

Good for you on everything. Especially on the boys' faces. I never knew how dangerous it could be until other channels started pointing it out. Glad to have you back!🎉❤

[@summerjoy247]

I saw a KZbin install a lot of recess lighting in her home to help w seasonal depression and she was based in Canada so that may be a good investment. Also planning travel during the gloomy months of the year to break it up

[@brookescanlon5888]

Very interesting- thank you for sharing your son’s allergy story

[@janetthatcher686]

How about a video on how to budget for a vacation?

[@Thelifeofmegan9621]

Yaya im so glad your back! ❤

[@TheBudgetingWife]

Yay! Thank you!

[@TheOscar15432]

Glad ur back. Sending hugs.

[@allihead6292]

Do you plan your posting topics/schedule out in advance? Maybe if you did that it would give you peace of mind during your “off” time to be off…… Wait, you just said that.

[@UghUgh1234]

Do you plan on deleting what you have posted in the past? Just curious! I support your decision about the kids :)

[@TheBudgetingWife]

I’ve made vlogs private where my kids are shown. ❤️

[@Natalie_11188]

Hi Marissa- I had noticed you’d been gone, because I enjoy your content but don’t feel that you have to explain yourself. I understand what you’re saying regarding content creation taking up a lot of mental space; you and Jacob do what you need to do to protect the boys.

[@TheBudgetingWife]

Thanks so much for being here!

[@bleacherz7503]

Maybe another 6 months off

[@TheBudgetingWife]

You want me to take another 6 months off…?

[@bleacherz7503]

@@TheBudgetingWife 1 month break isn’t enough time to insure you are in a healthy space

[@newmoonmama]

Just came across you video 💞 you mentioned that you’ve been blessed to be able to work from home…that is my goal after 1 more year of teaching. Is KZbin your full time job? I’ve been searching for the route I need to take to be able to work from home so I just wanted to ask if it’s possible for me to do KZbin as a full time job 🥲

[@turtlescanfly7]

I don’t think she makes the same amount as she did in accounting but she’s mentioned in the past that she works 10-15 hours a week. But you could definitely make a full time income on social media, it just takes a while to build up to that. Since you’re a teacher have you considered posting your teaching materials and lesson plans on Teachers Pay Teachers? That’s a good way to monetize the work you’re already doing
