LEARNING HOW TO BALANCE IT ALL // a chatty week in my life as a mom

[@Mare00711]

As a homeschool mom, homeschooling is exactly what you are doing! ❤️. There are so many different ways to homeschool. Reading books, playdough for hand strength (mad mattr is our favorite), singing, field trips, playing in the dirt, imagination playing are just some wonderful things about preschool!

oh my gosh, Jordan asking you what emotions you are feeling was so precious and sweet! You are raising such an emotionally intelligent and compassionate little girl. Would love to hear more about how y’all approach big emotions with her as she is getting older (if that’s something you are comfortable sharing).

Emma! :) Typically I am not one for chatty vlogs but I always love yours! Thank you for sharing God's word so openly on your platform! I always come to your vlogs and get convicted by what you share. Or if not convicted, it really resonates with my soul. I truly appreciate how God is using you as his wonderfully, willing instrument to share his word. I am from Indiana btw so I feel what you are saving about this weather. We had one nice week or fall, then back to fully summer for the next twoish weeks. Every Hoosier is starting to get annoyed at Summer. Lol.

I live in England, UK. Our average temperature at the moment is around 19 degrees Celsius, which I think is about 68 Fahrenheit! Pretty warm September for us! I really enjoy your vlogs, Emma. You’ve got such a calming energy. I also have a nearly 6 month old daughter as well as a 5 year old son 💙🩷

Southern California and we just got through a record breaking heat wave! But today it feels like fall, it’s beautiful! I so relate to the feeling of life feeling so short. I remind myself of that often. It helps keep things in perspective.

I love when you talk about your faith. I am a teacher of K in my 40’s, my husband and I have no kids, but I watch you bc I love how you bring Jesus into the center of your life!

I live in the state of Florida! And I think chatty vlogs are great! 🤗

[@danaeadams2123]

I live in North Texas and it’s hot here!! Today it was 97 felt like 107! So ready for Fall! You are such a great mom and I so enjoy your videos. This one was especially great! Loved the chatty vlog. ❤

[@wifelifenh]

I’m in nh and we had a great summer here last year we had a ton of rain but this year has been beautiful we have low 50s-60s at night n early morning and 70-80 during the day enjoying the leaves change and the Indian summer ❤

[@kimberlydickison8890]

I love your vlogs! You are amazing!!

[@jessicakoppers1121]

Ontario, Canada and it’s been hot too! Usually by now we have cooler weather starting to feel like fall but no it’s been summer temperatures and now that school is back in session I am ready for fall haha 😅😂 thanks for a great video again Emma!! 💕

[@kylieemariee26]

Trying to make my channel like yours. You’re content is so wonderful. ❤️

[@WaterxWolfx100]

The early mornings are rough, but I do love when I get to get up and ready before my baby is awake. Some people don't have that, but I love having that time. My mornings are so much better when I have time to read my Scripture and get dressed before my daughter (which this morning was 6:00)

[@courtneydillard9337]

I’ve come to really enjoy sitting down on the couch with my snack every Sunday evening after the kids are asleep (finally 😅) and watching your vlog!

I had the same stroller issue when my 2nd was born. Had the expensive uppa baby vista only to realize the double stroller was not very functional for us. I ended up getting a double bob on fb marketplace that we still use (5 and 3 year olds now). Not sure if the mockingbird has this but the ride along skateboard attachment on the vista has been very useful for us now at these older ages- something to consider for future! Also hi from Chicago. ☺️

I think the words you were looking for were "break the heat streak". We live in Texas, and I am so excited for our heat streak to break. I love taking my boys to the park in the "fall" (if you can call it that lol) when it's actually a bearable temperature. 😂😂

[@ritabarnes2440]

Such a great Mom! Thanks for always sharing the word. About to head to church but look forward to this before I go.

[@hopemartin2425]

I have two early risers too! My 2 year old has started sleeping a little later, but most mornings I am up by 4/4:30 with the baby. I can't always go back to sleep because by the time she is back to sleep, the toddler is up.

[@BrittanyRobledo-b6d]

My daughter has always been an early riser and I have felt the same jealously. It is SO hard.

[@crystalvelez8862]

Haha 😂. Whenever your toddler respectfully tells your viewers I'll check with you in a little while 😅. She knows how to get attention ❤. To to cute 😍

[@wendycarpenter1882]

I live in the South, but grew up in the Midwest. Miss those winters!

[@emilysmiller9749]

Loved this! Thanks for sharing 🙌

[@emeliamoore9467]

I live in Northern California. Has still been over 100 here (very dry heat), but today is cooler which is nice. Looking forward to October when it regularly gets down into the 80's. Could totally relate to what you said about 80's feeling like 60's! : ) Thank you for your inspiring genuine content. I have 4 kids aged 20 to 13. It does go so fast! You're doing a great job!

[@ourforsurelife3334]

New subscriber! 🩷 So excited that I found your channel. I'm also in the Midwest. 🥰

[@eddiemartinez7555]

Awesome Emma 😊🎉🎉😂

[@elise5195]

I don’t like my mockingbird as a double either 😢 and my toddler doesn’t want me to use it as just a single for her brother cus it’s “her” stroller so it’s basically useless to me now 😅😅😅

[@matthewmok1575]

My daughter Ashley would do a chatty vlog anytime

[@cetinozden6937]

Hello love you're very beautiful ❤

[@catlove369]

I am wondering why you need an expensive stroller since you do not seem to go places often with that requires a stroller?

[@WaterxWolfx100]

Well since there are 167.5 hours in the week that she didn't show us in the video it's hard for someone to assume she doesn't often go places that require a double stroller. We don't know everything she does and everywhere she goes.

[@RaqC1891]

Midwest Momma here! Its been so hot I'm over it! My babes almost 6months too, also trying to put down for naps "tired but awake" and when it works... 🤌🙌
