"Life sparkles a little differently now..." What a beautiful way to put it. That's exactly what it feels like.

[@heratlas]

HEY!!! I got a new camera and had NO IDEA (until I was editing) that the beauty mode / filter setting was on… I didn’t even know they made cameras that did that 😂 anyway the airbrush look is fake AF and I need to figure out how to fix it for next time so please ignore 😩😭 just felt the need to mention it since I talk about skincare in this video 👄

[@raevalenz]

Would you be able to link your camera as well?! 😇

[@emmaozburn5276]

😂 this made me giggle, you look great!

[@Smataba]

I was thinking why are my eyes so blurry, I must be tired, then I noticed the filter jittering and read your comment. Good on you for bringing it up cause real skin is beautiful skin and people need to know how real skin looks like 👏

[@medwards1391]

Tell me why I cried when you told us you loved being a mom. Thank you, again and again, for the comforting words for us ladies expecting. Truly my heart sings every time you talk about your experience. I’m 12 weeks tomorrow! Feeling more positive about it every day. Seeing you with Baby Atlas is truly beautiful. 😘

[@theotakuwoman]

The morning Gus cuddles are my fave! Also, you are doing great as a mommy. Well wishes to you and your family! 🤍 P.s. I love the "Life in..." content.

[@heratlas]

Aw!! Thank you! I like filming these, too!

[@maddiegenzer2285]

Hearing the baby giggles and squeals behind camera to then seeing you hold /snuggle your baby ❤❤❤ that made me so happy and emotional

[@lauraarft4046]

The baby squeals and giggles are just the best and you are beaming!!! Love it! Enjoy every minute because it goes by SO FAST!

[@areyes2494]

So glad that you’re enjoying motherhood! My son’s smiles melt me lol Just wait till he can walk and he walks up to you to give you a hug! My husband and I DIED.

[@satmat9574]

About 20 years ago, I was working at Iwakuni Air Base as a Japan Maritime Self-Defense Force member. It's much cleaner and newer than Iwakuni station back then. It's a nostalgic video for me. Thank you!🙂

[@heyannskii]

Nice to see the little sprinkles of baby atlas in your vlog. You’re glowing a little differently now too 😊

[@JPittman0127]

Just here to say I love your content! The real-ness is refreshing!

[@heratlas]

Thank you!

[@charliebaker5499]

I would love to see you pivot your content to more about what it’s like raising a child in a different country and some of the kid-friendly things in Japan! It’s really lovely to hear how much you love being a mom and I would love for you to share that experience with us.

[@heratlas]

Already on it and have been filming!!! 🎉

[@Streeky1324]

Oh my god. This video gives me so much hope. Thank you for your vulnerability and honesty because, as a young woman figuring out these "roles" and expectations, it's so beyond comforting to see someone who went through an unexpected journey of becoming a parent and has found joy in it. As someone who didn't have a regular family or inherent support system, I have questioned if I will ever get to a point where the fear of parenthood will subside. I'm still not quite there, and I'm grateful I have a choice. But, nevertheless, it's so nice to know there are other people who are going through those insecurities and questions too.

[@debicuttler6470]

This is one of my favorite videos. Just a simple tour of the shopping and restaurant was great. Thanks!

[@joanewindle2267]

I’m so happy to see you enjoying motherhood! I also loved getting a little glimpse of your special little guy! ❤️

[@laurasmith4162]

These videos are my favorite. Also seeing you as Mama Atlas is so cute 🥹

[@elizabethmc6685]

Love your channel! Seeing you transition into Mommyhood is wonderful- you are rockin’ it! Have a blessed week.

[@kimryan945]

So precious.. and, yes, the new camera rocks!

[@marleneschick4768]

Hooray for Hawaii! I live in Hawaii and will hopefully getting back to Japan in November!

[@Jay-jy3mi]

Awesome video, loved the tiny bits of baby Atlas! If you don’t mind can you please make the captions option available for your next videos? Thank you 😊

[@heratlas]

Thank you so much!!! Captions will automatically apply and upload once the video has been up for a little! KZbin applies them automatically.. you’re just on #teamearly and watched it faster than the software was able to catch the audio!!!!

[@Jay-jy3mi]

😂😂 oh my bad. What can I say?!? I’m a fan😌

[@maddiegenzer2285]

Hearing the baby giggles and squeals to then seeing you hold your baby and snuggle ❤❤❤

[@kelseywelseyy]

I love your videos so much! My cousin is studying abroad in Japan and I told him about your videos! You and I are the same age, and I hope to be a mom some day. You are glowing! thank you for sharing your experiences :)

[@OmgitsReese]

Shoutout to Ms. Rachel in the back! I always put her on for my little one. You are doing an amazing job, I hope I find the motivation to make healthier choices too.

[@OmgitsReese]

Also, thank you for filming downtown Iwakuni. I used to live there and downtown was one of my favorite places to walk around. If I could move back there I would 🥺

[@Chamorritagirl77]

Oh my goodness...why did I tear up when I saw you and baby in the living room...plus hearing all cooing and baby noise in the background...talk about melting my heart 😭😭😭❤️❤️❤️ For some reason this vlog seems to be my favorite one. All the baby & new mom vibes just really touched me. Really loving your content lately ❤️❤️❤️ BTW PLEASE go bad and do a video with checking out that outside vending machine 😉😁

[@Nao-lm2wm]

The mini donkey/llama is the miniature version of a kids jumping/bouncing toy we have in Germany 😊 like a horse to bounce around on😅 hard to explain

[@meghancrowley9722]

The baby stuff in this video in the background 😍😍😍😍😍

[@marrienelouisebayhon4620]

glimpse of baby atlas!!

[@giovannamarlia]

Girl, your skin, I though that you were using makeup in the beginning of the video, it's so amazing. Awww the baby Atlas moments was so cuuuuute. I love this kind of daily vlogs, I guess I find this channel because of this kind of video. Oh, I just saw now your comment about the filter hahahahahaha but your skin still amazing for me.

[@Princesswheelerwells]

Omg- fellow Virgo here 🙋🏿‍♀️🙋🏿‍♀️ LOVE a birthday vlog! And baby Atlas of course 💙💙💙💙

Thank you for the new video ❤❤❤ I feel like it's been sooo long I missed this🧡🧡🧡🧡 your videos are always so calming and fun I love sitting down with some tea to watch them💛💛💛💛 also just wanted to say you are GLOWING✨✨✨✨✨✨✨as a mom

[@jontel7]

Hii Caitlin! I'm trying to watch your videos more often again, they always make me in a better mood. I've been diagnosed with anorexia and i have depression symptoms as well. So my motivation isn't the best but I will try my hardest! So thats the reason why i haven't been so active in your community And happy birthday!! I hope you have an amazing birthday🥰 But now I'm going to enjoy your video on the bus of from school 😁 And I'm so sorry And sad that I missed your pregnancy journey, but I'm so happy for you! I really am! I wish you and your whole family the best of luck!

[@dpfc74]

Virgo’s FTW. Glad your making videos again my wife and I enjoy watching!

[@kelseytheveg4690]

With AG1 I take mine with 3/4 orange juice and 1/4 water it tastes like a fancy green juice that way I highly recommend

[@heratlas]

😳😳😳 this sounds amazing!!! I have fresh juice in my fridge!!

[@fumfita4394]

First of all congratulations for your video! Always are like fresh air for me. 😊 I only would you ask if you could put the prices in euros too. 😊 Many thanks for your work and a hug for baby atlas and for Gus Gus!

[@Grimsy_Max]

So glad Gus is getting some quality time! Little man - seems - really chill … As a man - I think many of us wonder if all the stuff you put on your face does anything to preserve your skin … other than an oil and UVB block … lol. Anyhow - whatever makes you happy mom! Happy belated also!

[@becks07890]

Oh my goodness, hearing Baby Atlas giggles is so adorable. I was curious...did Baby Atlas get a Japanese passport in addition to the US one?

[@BrookBeck]

I’m still so on the fence if I want to be child free or have children. 😖 I do appreciate you talking about your experience!

[@Ong.pereira]

Mom life looks great on you ❤️

[@julieesquivelsaranie9794]

I see you figured out how to use the microwave 🙃💕

[@lucid_indifference2833]

the manhole covers in Iwakuni look like the person in the boat is being pulled by the ducks/birds in the water …. Cannot unsee

[@hngkng8060]

I don't know if you already answered this or not,but will Gus go with you guys to Hawaii?

[@borahae9815]

First!!! Yasss ❤️❤️❤️

[@rachg09890]

Girl! You kept saying before you had him, that you didn’t exude motherly vibes. I DISAGREE! I feel like the need to show, teach and talk to us…and how you treat Gus, has always made others feel that you’d mother naturally ❤❤❤

I always used to love doing gachapon, but it’s becoming so expensive! My friend works for a gachapon company and she said because it’s so popular, they’re upping the prices. 😵
