ICED COFFEE TIME Q&A | baby plans, Disney job, leaving Florida, & dealing with insecurities 🤍

[@isabelsnyder521]

I think it's so cool to hear other people that want to adopt kids that need a home because I was adopted.

[@ALLISONBICKERSTAFF]

Oh wow that’s incredible 🙏 thank you for sharing, friend 🌼

I adopted my son and I would do it again and again. Such a blessing!

[@nikkien7259]

I adopted my son, too! 🥰

[@Name-hn1cs]

I had my children and I was looking into adopting but it’s way too expensive especially with the children I have now. It made me really realize that I cannot afford anymore kids.

[@adriennehart7453]

I’m in the middle of the adoption process. It’s not for the faint of heart. But I know God has a good plan. 🥰

[@itskasey1839]

Hope all goes well with the adoption process!!

[@polandify1]

I find it really annoying when you're still newlyweds and people constantly ask you about kids. I wish people would just stop. My husband and I will be married 2 years in July and together for 10 years in October. Ever since we got married everyone always asks us about children. It actually really hurts me because I do have medical conditions that make it hard to become pregnant. I also want to do so much I want to travel to Scotland and I prefer not to do that with children. We have a dog and that will already be hard leaving him to go on trips. People need to stop asking couples questions about kids because it's none of their business.

I love when you said about having kids in pairs. I am one of eight kids and my mom (unintentionally) had us in sets of two. Everyone has a buddy around their age and it's so fun, especially as we get older. We are currently ages 27 & 25, 18 & 16, 12 & 10, 8 & 8 (twins :) )

[@amielawson8344]

I definitely think Disney has made lots of decisions that have made our family fall out of love with them. We have been 9 times as a family, but with the removal of all the perks, and now mandating employees be vaccinated...we are going to use our time and money elsewhere.

[@p_frank]

My husband and I were married for 5 years before we had our baby! No need to rush 💙 we loved our time as a couple before our little girl was born, and now we are looking forward to showing her all of our favorite things (including Disney) as a little family!!

[@aarenrenee]

I am an only child too, and I totally relate on the independent aspect in friendships, Its refreshing to hear this from someone else who is similar 💛 Love your videos by the way!

[@vickykarp]

I relate so much to the friendship part, I have also always been really independent and have always thought there’s something wrong with me for not needing to interact with my friends all the time. So happy to hear it’s not just me! Thanks for being such an inspiration 💗🌹💕

[@ALLISONBICKERSTAFF]

I have felt the same exact way as well. It’s only recently that I’ve accepted it’s just a part of who I am. 💛🌼 I get you, friend!

[@fayethejpg]

Thank you for acknowledging the Disney layoffs/furloughs. So many people I care about were negatively affected, but I’m still a huge Disney fan. It’s bittersweet, but I’m glad I’m not alone in that sentiment.

[@sweetieownz]

I am born and raised in Canada. Hubby and i and our 2 baby girls who are 1 and 2 years old, sold our condo and took a vacation to Greece in 2020 just right before the pandamic hit. We decided to stay and live here. The way things are right now in bigger cities around the world its so much better living in Greece. We are extremly lucky and grateful even still being in a lockdown the weather is better here less people. So lucky my hubby is a greek citizen and we have his family here. Much love from Greece xoxo

[@samcarosella1380]

Girl, take your time! I don’t understand why people pressure married couples to have kids either. Because you’re totally right, it’s going to change your whole life. And sure, it’ll be great but it’s still not ever going to be the same once you have kids. My parents married at 18 and didn’t try to have me until they were 30. They wanted to travel and of course make sure they were financially stable, and just enjoy themselves. So just enjoy your little family and your new home and puppy for now! I’m sure you will now when you’re ready ☺️

[@kinseyjordan7327]

When you mentioned thinking you’ll go from wanting 4 to 2 once you have a baby is exactly what happened to me! 😅 my daughter is 8 months old and I am already stressed about having another one. 🤣

[@FabiolaSuarez]

Hahaha I have always said 2! Now i want 4! Let's see what happens! haha

I think it’s totally fine to take a trip! I never stopped traveling in 2020, I flew on a plane in June, November, and December. Never got COVID and did it safely. There’s ways to do it!

[@elise5195]

We got pregnant “accidentally”. We are so blessed that we were able to get pregnant so fast but woah it was a shock lol. I’ve known for 20 days and idk when it will feel real. Hearing you talk about enjoying your life pre babies has me a little stressed but I know everything happens for a reason! Same will go for y’all! ❤️

[@jeannelle_]

Yes I love Q & A’s! I’m in my mid 20s and so many of my family members have been asking when am I going to have kids. But honestly it’s going to be a while for that. Of course I’d love to have kids, but like you said your whole lifestyle changes, you have to adjust for your baby’s needs. It’s a whole different thing and I’d like to soak up my life right now with just me & my husband ❤️

[@kendallannette]

[@RaeaXo]

I accidentally got pregnant last year and now I have an 8 month old. I never wanted kids, I enjoyed having no responsibility but I love my daughter so much I wouldn’t trade her for anything. Pregnancy was extremely rough for me but I feel like I want my Daughter to have a big family and I feel like I have so much love to give that I want more kids so I’m thinking about fostering to adopt or something in the future once being a single mom isn’t so difficult LOL

[@wearesatellites91]

I don't like the idea that when you get married, your friendships should change. The idea that it's normal to drift away from your friends and just focus on your "person" rubs me the wrong way. If something ever happened to your husband/wife, you would probably be crawling back to those same friends for support, so don't neglect those friendships as if you don't need them. Friendship is a two-way street, and if you want people to be there for you during your bad times, you can't get so swept up in the good times that you neglect to be there for them too. I guess what I'm saying is, don't put all your eggs in one basket... your partner may not always be there. It's just pragmatic to nurture the other relationships in your life too.

You are so right to wait. My daughter waited till 34 to have kids. Her and husband traveled. She teaches and writes books amd wanted to be more ready to be a parent. I think it was a good choice. She is a great mom. I had mine to quick and did not get to have that season before my kids came.enjoy your life and wait until you are really ready.😍😍😍

Love the coffee q&a, I read a book last year by Allie Beth Stuckey called You're Not Enough (& that's ok): Escaping the Toxic Culture of Self-Love and it was just such a great read about how we simply aren't enough, we are nothing without Jesus. Jesus is enough for us

[@SiennaMartz]

Love your content and energy, Allison! - But I do want to point out that there really is no way to buy meat and fish that are "ethical" or "humane" when these animals are being killed for human consumption. I understand that you are not vegan/vegetarian but this is a misleading message I've heard you say in a few of your videos and hope you will give this some thought.

[@nicoleleauna]

i love that you guys are thinking about fostering or adopting kids, that’s truly amazing, and there are so many children in need who would be so thankful to have parents like you and Brandon

[@maryellenfradgley8228]

Thank you for all of the advice:) I've definitely struggled to figure out what my (girl) friendships are outside of my relationship and how to make time for others but everything you said was totally on point! Plus I moved to another state so keeping in touch with my best friends all the time is not my priority and I probably talk to them a few times a month and occasionally see them! I love them so much but life changes definitely changes what friendship looks like!

[@FocusBreakForYou]

You could always sponsor a child while they are in college or high school. Not a lifetime commitment but fulfilling.

Wow that last piece of advice really hit home for me! I feel like I'm having less friends now that I am growing throughout the years and moving to different life stages / physical places etc. Thank you for sharing!

[@rhyanopel9125]

when you were talking about travel, my family went on trips last fall and have some coming up soon, but we drove everywhere, we stayed in cabins with our kitchen to cook and so we could clean everything and we went to nature spots where we could be outside and distance. We also went to some more unpopular places and some off season places. We have had nothing but success with that, and it is super fun to explore some stuff a bit more local that you normally do not since its in your state! I do not know if that will give you any ideas. Florida is such a big diverse state, so Im sure there are places you could drive and stay at for a few nights In a cabin safely and make some memories!

It is okay if you don’t move into a bigger home with kiddos. We bought our house in 2004, it is 975 sq feet. We didn’t plan on staying here, but here we are 17 years later. Our daughter has been raised here. Was it tight as a small child? Yes, but she also had way too many toys and if you go minimal, you can make it work.

I watch your videos often. And I see so much calmness within you and I chuckle and wonder how much that will change when you have children. Dont rush it. People romanticizing children are insane. I love my child but parenting is the worst job in the world. Children make you relearn everything you thought you knew and being an only child, it really challenges you because you're naturally selfish with your time. You'll be a great mom but id wait a loooooong time

Jealousy is not silly or the devil - it is a big bright sign telling you what you desire, maybe your purpose in life - it is just a message from your inner guide. Jealousy is a message to go after what you desire. Society wired us to define jealousy as negative thoughts and feelings. Think about it this way, jealousy comes up, you now get curious (inner work) and you have an opportunity to go toward the desire - spark joy.
