Wearing dresses totally shifts my mindset to be more formal in my behavior and helps me feel more productive. It’s crazy how much of a difference it makes. This vlog was such a good one!!

[@samanthanieto473]

Margaret Matheny did a 30 days of dresses video that validates this ❤ dresses are a mindset shift no doubt!

[@CatsMeow14]

Your description of trying to sit down for your study made me laugh - we have 4 littles - the youngest is 4 months. The absolute best advice I have been trying to live out is that our quiet time with the Father doesn't have to be a sit down, quiet time with no interruptions. We can allow him to enter into every moment of our day. I have found the best quiet time right now to be sitting in the rocker in our room, nursing the baby. Or when I am doing dishes after the bustle of the morning. I talk to the Lord, I listen to him, and I quietly sing a new song. It is so easy to think we're not "doing it right" if we don't sit down intentionally to read our bible or do our devotional. We sometimes forget that our worship and devotional is ongoing, throughout our day. That simple mindset shift has given me sooo much freedom, and been a source of God's overwhelming and abundant grace.

[@maxxitee4761]

Agreed. Still, That inner court daily is important even for a short period. It may mean setting an alarm and waking in the wee hours when no one is up but you. The secret place is very important

[@StephBuah]

Wow so good! I’m not a mum yet but I can definitely use this advice as I am very hard on myself. 🙏🏾💕

[@kimberlialison]

I agree. I always feel I’m not “doing it right” so I’ve started implementing that time once the kids are in bed or nursing in the night. I can’t get away from littles at any time minus a couple minutes different every night once they are asleep. Mornings second I’m up littles are up.. and my brother I foster is up long before anyone else lol

[@brandysuire147]

I love your style. You have inspired me to wear dresses and skirts more often! And they are soooo comfortable and beautiful!! I used to think they were only for special occasions. Boy was I wrong. I love how feminine they make me feel and how modest they are!

[@MilenaCiciotti]

YAY how fun!! I used to be the same way, until I realized they're so much more comfy AND cuter than wearing pants?!?! its a win win 😆

[@margaretjanec8484]

I just love seeing another young mom raising her babies for Jesus. I have been inspired to wear dresses more from you. Just listened to your pod about the spiritual realm and man was it good food for my soul. God is working through you. Never become ashamed of the gospel. All glory be to God!

[@nataliemarie8964]

I’ve watched your videos since I was 17 and I’m about to turn 23 now. Seeing your growth and faith has helped me grow too. Thank you for what you do, your videos have been such a positive light for me❤ god bless you & your beautiful family

[@hayelizabethp]

I hope this doesn’t come off as rude but you’ve talked about simplifying your wardrobe and that you are not buying as many clothes, but it seems you are constantly buying new dresses. Have you found you’re having to buy more clothes now that you wear dresses everyday since you can’t mix and match dresses like you could a top and bottoms? Just wondering if that’s made it harder to keep your wardrobe simple

[@alixg1252]

I find so much healing through these videos. Thank you for being a mother we can all lean on 🩷

[@MilenaCiciotti]

wow allllll glory to the Lord 🥺

[@alimarks2429]

100%

[@sunshinegirl02]

another great video Milena! the relationship between siblings is so important for parents to encourage and pour into i never let my children hit one another, speak badly of one another and always remind them that will be in each others lives forever it important to remind them of the gift of one another and how enriched their lives are by having each other

[@denisejones1863]

I totally agree with you in teaching children to be responsible for their own toys and rooms. I have a 42 year old that has never done that. She was raised in a clean home and I did way too much for her. We now share a house which I bought for us both. I can't get her to keep her room clean or her bathroom. She says its her space and I should not care. I have tried to explain that if you don't keep things clean and maintained they will not last. She fights me like she is still a toddler. So, parents install this in them while they are young. Pride in the things you own is very important.

[@lindscameron]

Just finished day 2 of Esther bible study & now watching this video. Perfect Friday afternoon! Thank you!❤ youve encouraged me to continue to post on my channel all things motherhood & encouragement 🫶

[@adrianfiordelise8108]

I would love a video on how you foster your kid’s relationships together! I did not have that with my 3 siblings growing up, but I want that for my kids more than anything. I could use some guidance from another mama with the same mission.💗

[@heleenklaver7018]

Your videos lately are on a whole other level. Love love love it! You are such a blessing

[@Escapethematrixxx00]

I dress what I consider modest to me (no leggings outside of the house unless a shirt covers my butt, no crop tops, no v-necks, no tight clothing unless they are skinny jeans) but I have been wearing dresses so much more lately and have loved every single dress I’ve seen you where! It’s because of you and Jordan that I pulled my Bible out again and printed out a free study template. My husband grew up with both grandparents being ministers but we’ve honestly lost our way. I pray with my children everyday and teach them skills and lessons from the Bible but haven’t really delve in with them. I love these vlogs! ❤

[@cmconcon]

Milena you are living with wisdom, grace and growth. Love seeing you flourish!

[@shandi.vanleeuwen]

My daughter is usually pretty good at cleaning up her toys, she LOVES to help me clean! But I tried telling her (she’s 2.5) old that toys that are thrown or left laying around maybe can go to another child if she won’t respect and take care of her things…..she then proceeded to put all her toys at the front door😂. At first I thought she wasn’t understanding what I was saying, but in hindsight I think that’s her way of telling me that she doesn’t need a lot of toys to be happy. Every time I say that, she immediately offers up toys to give away. So sweet! But also it is reminding me I don’t *need* to buy her all the cute toys I want to. She’s happy with what she has💜

[@none4013]

I did the same thing and my 3 almost 4 year old offered to help me bag them up and take them. I just gave up at that point haha

[@chickenfriedmiri1533]

Aw she has a cheerful and giving heart. My daughter is similar and that is a gift from God for sure! 🥹💕

[@NateNMarisaTalley]

You need to bring your mom on for a segment cooking! Ugh what a blessing her food looks so 🤤🔥🇧🇷

[@allisonmarie365]

Hi Milena! Yes! A video about sibling relationships would be amazing!! I just have one sister and we have never gotten along. I would say we're estranged. And I now have a toddler girl and a baby girl and I'm nervous about their relationship when they grow up. I obviously don't know how to have a healthy relationship with my sister, so I want to set up my girls for success. Also, I know God gave me two girls on purpose - He's going to use my girls to teach me how to have a relationship with my sister. Love all of your videos! They are a blessing 🥰💛

[@sarahp3144]

This comment really resonates with me. God is Healer ♥️

[@reneekaufman7659]

I would also enjoy seeing a video on how to foster good relationships between siblings. Biggest struggle right now.

[@TheCandyxoxo1]

I want to try to find more modest comfy clothes for winter😭 summer is easy we can just wear dresses with biker shorts underneath & it’s great. But i would love to see fall/winter modest outfits that are cute but still comfortable. I guess when that season comes around 🦋

[@stacyhartley8253]

It stood out to me that she mentioned a product to get at Target considering that company's values. I have a lot of products from that store too but I would not repurchase from there.

[@kelsieclarkson5740]

Just a reminder that all major department stores in the US are owned by corrupt companies who engage in and donate to organizations that Christians disagree with. Unfortunately we do have to live and use what’s accessible in our life and community. When I go to Target or Other major stores that advertise things that are sinful I actually use the opportunity to pray while walking through the store. Praying for other shoppers as well company leadership and the pressure they face from investors to be “woke”.

[@thereseo4655]

There are always other options. We just need to look for them. We've finally weaned ourselves off of target

[@robyn905]

It’s difficult but most companies are doing it and at this point if you’re not living an 100% self sustainable life where everything you consume or own is made by yourself, someone evil out there is profiting from it. I agree with you though, if she’s going to continue shopping from there I would just not mention where it’s from to viewers, to not encourage people buying there

[@allym8232]

I would love to see a video on the sibling relationships as well!

[@brandysuire147]

Milena!! You bless me more than you know! I’ve been watching you for a while. I love seeing your growth in the Lord 💗 Thank you for being obedient to Him. You have taught me so much!

[@laurenholdeman5715]

You are so classy and are totally changing my mind on modesty ❤

[@DanielandIrene]

YESSSSS! Please make a video about sibling bond.❤️ I think not a lot of people talk about the importance on that. I think that video will be a game changer for us mamas and a huge revelation🫶🏼 Ps. Love your videos Mi😭🫶🏼

[@lee0223]

Love every one of your videos! Makes me so excited to be a mother. 🤰🏻 (my first is due in September!) You inspire me. You are beautiful inside and out🫶🤍

[@adriankaritorres7301]

I love thrifting, I too went to the thrift store often with my mom. In middle school I did 2 musical theater performances a year and we ALWAYS found what we needed for costumes at the thrift store. The hunt is fun, it teaches you creativity and how to spend your money more wisely.

[@penamarinaa]

The calendar showing May LOL!!!

you’re beautiful in every way!!! I’m a grandma and he’s almost three… your videos have helped me so much. Thank you so much

Hello Milena, I wanted to know if you can do Bible studies♥️ I love how clear, calm and precise you are. You would make an excellent guide for us📍

[@KailynCash]

Hey girl could you link the playlist you use while working out? I started working out at home also and good music makes a big difference 🤍 Love your videos!!

[@kpsa77]

Milena it’s not fear it’s consequences. We know that if we don’t use up our fruit the consequence is rotten fruit that needs to be thrown out. For our kids it’s great for them to learn that all our actions have consequences good and bad. Love that!

[@tressamower2546]

Milena I just love your videos they are helping me so much as I prepare to become a mother in November. You are so inspiring and refreshing and I love your honesty and your faith that you bring to each video. ❤️ I hope you and your family are doing well.

[@belleingersoll6240]

oh milena , the beautiful sanctification process that the Lord has been growing you into is honestly so humbling ! i have absolutely noticed the intimate work that it took for the Lord to do an 180 in your life . i just am so in awe of Him && His beautiful faithfulness ! the way that your life REFLECTS Him in literally every way is just so so sweet ! i admire this && just desire for my life to be guided into a life of daily surrender && worship to Him ! i also , am just so encouraged by your modesty ! the way that you literally gave your clothing up to Him && sought Him out && how He wants you to dress is so vital . i ADORE these beautiful dresses && skirts that you wear ! they are so beautiful without leaning into the temptation to win approval with our bodies . I . LOVE . YOUR . OUTFITS . i personally have been so encouraged to wear more dresses && skirts && not needing a really special occasion for them . i want to start wearing them more just so i can look pretty in the mundane moments of my day while still treating my body as a Holy temple ! continue in the ways of the Lord milena && He will continue to shape && mold your ♡ into His likeness ! 💐🤍

[@tashiloira]

Please please please do the siblings video!!! My boy is now 3 and my girl is 1 and it is a consistent part of my life to keep asking him to be gentle, to stop touching and squeezing her face, stop pushing/pulling her etc... they do love each other but I do worry that the constant bad attention he is getting from me because of her will negatively affect their relationship, however I do need to keep this baby safe . Tricky!

[@fiammalujan5073]

That is harsh. Imagine you leaving your bag or other possession somewhere it’s “not supposed to be” for a few hours, and Jordan donating it. Have some grace.

[@jaoso1019]

Meg Squats has a workout app that is for prenatal, pregnant women or, postpartum. $20 a month and it’s so convenient because the workout is written out for you and they only last 30 minutes not including the warm up. I like it so far!

[@Ccc24578]

Do you think you could make a video on how to have a gentle & quiet spirit? I feel like the Holy Spirit has been convicting me of that lately but I’m not sure why. I’m very introverted. I feel that you have so much holy wisdom & seem to possess these fruits so your advice to me would be so appreciated 🫶🏼

[@Susieque963]

Milena, you should look into joining the YMCA. They have child watch at certain hours and I’ve had a great experience with the staff of childcare. The YMCA offers some classes that are actually really good! And it feels great as a mommy to have 1-2 hours to just focus on your health while kids are right down the hall having fun. The Y truly changed my life and attitude. Fitness was really important to me before babies, and I didn’t realize how much I missed a real gym workout until I got to go back. And it’s such a plus that my kids love going to the Y.

[@sandraalitzel]

The dress story was so funny to me because the Lord literally knows what we need 😂

The amount of times I throw my Bible in a tote bag and run out the door with my kiddos is unreal! Your time with Jesus doesn’t have to look like “XYZ” just prioritize time with Him and He will meet you on the bench of that park or wherever you’re at. ❤

[@FabAbbBeauty]

You’re such an inspiration to me as a mother! Does Jordan work from home and how do you navigate that with the kids and him needing his space/quiet?

[@brookebales2931]

I’ve felt for a while now that I really want to start wearing dresses. Pretty, classy, floral etc. but also beachy tropical too...and so seeing you in all yours, I’m like wow, is the Lord leading me to want that. I’ve always had that in me but felt like because most women don’t anymore (esp not the old vintage classy ones) that I’d be out of place. Idk. But have always longed to be one to wear dresses 👗 😊 thanks for sharing yours friend ❤ and yes 🙌 to thrifting!!

[@BlessedbytheKingofKings]

Have you seen the movie Sound of Freedom as of yet. If so please tell us your thoughts. I thought maybe you would be one of the first considering your partner with Angel Studios. I see a lot of Christian KZbinrs promoting it.

[@briannavansant5636]

I have a prayer request… I’ve been struggling a lot this past two months with what seems to be PPD, spiritual attacks, whatever thou wanna call it I’m not doing well. I have a 2 year old and a 5 month old and I just simply can’t seem to show up for them. I just have this depression cloud hovering over me and I can’t shake it. I feel shameful and full of guilt but feel so bound. I’ve been begging God to intervene and to speak to me and I’ll have moments of intimate moments of time with him but the feelings just keep coming back on. I’m terrified I’m going to ruin my kids. My husband works a lot so I’m alone with them constantly. I feel so ashamed that I’m not enjoying this season because I’ve prayed for these babies for so long. I just need prayer. I just need God.

[@normamartinez7246]

I would really love a video where you talk about how your kids get a long and how they react with Ava etc… please! I’m desperate for help 😊

[@Maverick-zy7yu]

This was also a shocker to me as so many moms of multiples only highlight the good moments of siblings 🙃😳 I’m not saying this specifically about milena. But this aspect of momhood caught me way off guard 😂 mine are 3&1 now and it’s gotten better

Highly recommend listening to the verse by verse ministry teachings or any other sound biblical teaching while doing your workout. I love working on body and heart and mind at the same time, has been a game changer for me.
