I have a prayer request - I have been praying to have my cup overflowing with trust, joy and peace in the Lord. I am currently 5 weeks pregnant and after a loss in the past, I find myself not trusting God as much as I should and feeling anxiousness and fear. If you would kindly pray for us I would appreciate it so much! This child is such a blessing and I am already so in love. This babe is our 4th - 2 currently on Earth, one in heaven and the one in my belly. 😊

[@andream6531]

Praying for you. Sending you so much love, light, and warmth. I will pray the lord keep your precious one safe and healthy and that your trust in him will return.

[@Pocketlint143]

Just prayed for you ❤ ❤

[@therealsubaekhyang]

I didn't learn until last year that miscarriages are (so) common. I'm not married yet but it must be hard not to be anxious about losing your baby ❤❤ I pray that this baby will be healthy and that there will be no complications with birth etc. In Jesus' name Amen

[@starfish976]

I pray in agreement with you sister 💗 I’ve also experienced loss & God blessed us again too.(currently @ 25 weeks) I pray your joy would be renewed daily & God will guide you through this pregnancy & your family in this new exciting chapter of your lives 💗 I pray in the name of Jesus that the enemy would not be able to steal your joy. I ask in Jesus name for His blood to cover your family, His protection & peace over your home. And I ask that the Holy Spirit would be stirred up in each of you daily, bringing you in closer relationship with the Lord. Thank you Jesus in your name we ask & believe in Faith for these things. &Congratulations on your blessing 🤗💖🎉

[@jomasih]

just prayed for you, sister🤍

[@kristanmcguyer3748]

The “dogs as liabilities” sent me 😂

[@normaavilachavez159]

The “moving on” phrase really hit me. Thank you. I’m going to implement this. I do notice that I snap way more at my kids when I’m rushing because I want this “thing” to go “this way”. Thank you for this video ❤️

[@jayes3001]

Even though I absolutely understand why you put your old videos down -as it does not reflect the way you want to live and inspire others like you already mentioned- I really miss those videos/vlogs. There may be some advices in it you wouldn't share as the woman you are now, but it was still full of wisdom and inspiration. Anyway, I'm happy for you that you found the way you want to spend your time here on earth. :)

[@katmarie5175]

Currently pregnant with my 4th AND read Psalm 119 tonight. Mama, you captured it all. Thank you for sharing 💛

[@melissaleeann8627]

I resonate with “I see my dogs as liabilities” 🙋🏼‍♀️

[@mrsdaisymama]

Milena please please do a video on baby/toddler safety. I am 3.5m PP with my second son (2 under 2) and I’m definitely needing all the tips. I’m specifically struggling with my toddler running away and like you mentioned, the logistics of safely handling both of them. Also the strategies you use to help your toddler obey you! My son often laughs or tries to fight me when I try to assert boundaries

[@saidavelazquez]

I’m only a momma of two littles, but I love hearing how you handle your four with cheerfulness! As an outsider I definitely feel like you do it so gracefully. I love being able to learn and apply your advice. May God continue to bless you and your family ❤

[@catherinedurant7806]

I thought that baby doll in the very beginning was her newborn and was horrified when she held it by its head🤣😭😭

[@sarahkate3595]

Me too, haha

[@CortnieJudith]

I love when you talked about the concept of “move on”. I am a ftm with a 3 month old, just beginning my sahm journey. It’s been hard to embrace the unstructured rhythm with the reality of things needing to get done. I’ve been reminding myself that babies don’t keep, and I can indeed rest and be still and have the contact nap. But - there are things that heed to get done (dinner, laundry, etc.), so the “move on” mentality came as such a blessing to me! Going to try to embrace that and just keep moving on to the next task as I go throughout my day.

[@YolandaMLopez]

I needed this girly. Thank you for the advice.❤ praying for you and your family ❤

[@Nixie_the_Pixie]

Love how encouraging you are! I’d love a video on how you’ve coped with your first trimesters, especially as a mum of littles! God bless xx

[@Dana-mb1hd]

Milena❤ I love the whole move on thing. I really needed to hear that. Also, I have struggled with anger and so I love that you touched on it thank you.❤

[@shicalisy]

Thanks for all the practical advices you gave us. Appreciate this videos

[@raquel_loves_her_dog]

[@the_unschooling_way4600]

Thank you so much for the moving on sentiment! i have a 7 and a 2 year old and both go to sleep so late.. rarely before 10pm.. i’ve been getting sooo frustrated and sitting in their rooms for an hour or so even tho i know they’re not going to go to sleep!! this helped lots x

[@stephtrebus]

Really needed that “move on” thing 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

[@asouthafricanindian9258]

The move on thing is so important, just yesterday my 15 month old refused to nap at first I kept trying then I just let him be. Yes he ended up having an early bedtime and poor sleep in the night but today he's back to napping. God is good

[@valeriekent9294]

Hiii!! I will be having my second in August and all your videos are very practical for the time I am going into! Blessings to you and your family ❤

[@SummerD0712]

Milena, we come from two different faiths but let me tell you, you are such an inspiration to me with your faith, grace ,femininity, and gentleness. I love how you view your home, children, husband, and just life. You give me the energy that I need to become a better mother, especially since we have so much in common. Thank you and please please keep the beautiful content coming. I wish you can do a video on how you discipline your kids and how to be more gentle because that's something I struggle with when feeling frustrated from them. Thank you

[@lifeaslindsey6229]

Milena- how i needed to hear exactly this video in these moments ❤❤ Thank you!!

[@kayc34]

My husband and I just had this “hey, our soccer team isn’t running well” conversation last night! We only have 1 little one, but it’s been a big change for us! Figure out how to best “manage” our family will definitely help us love each other and our home God had blessed us with better.

[@xokelseyxo9238]

much love for you, sweet milena! 🤎

[@user-gc2uu4is9j]

I believe THE best video I've seen from Milena obviously because of my needs and reality but wow so great! Caus' very row and realistic

[@verovamaya]

Milena I love your videos and your advice 🫶🏼 I’ve been struggling so much with keeping my house, family and work life organized, It seems like no matter how many times we set a schedule or plan we end up at the same place. And I tend to feel as if I’m failing since I only have two children and cant seem to handle it.

[@jessicajusto1929]

Watching your videos brings me such calm. It's so hard to find content that speaks to me like this. I've learned so much watching your videos and they've really helped me see how much I was seeking in the world that only God could give me.

[@BasicIW]

Your videos put my mind at ease and are such a blessing. Praise the Lord! Thank you for your videos Milena x

[@MamaMinistry]

Hi Milena!🤗 Could you do a video on a homeschooling update please!❤

[@danir398]

I have ages 5,3, and 4 month old and the moving on concept is so real!!

[@alyssastorey3844]

I sooo feel you on the “moving on”! We welcome our 3rd baby 7 weeks ago and had 3 under 4. If you get stuck on every little thing that’s not working… you’re probably just going to stay stuck on day honestly. Flexibility and peace is a must.

[@amyann47]

My cat is for sure a liability 😂😂😂 tearing up the couch and throwing up everywhere LOL

[@ed185]

Thank you for the moving on! I found myself in so many power struggles lately. I have a two year old and a 14 months old and I see myself struggling with the older one so much because of obeying or whatever. Yesterday I should have just moved on instead of persisting on it.

[@kelsieamiyahh]

Wow! Eva has gotten so big! Feels like yesterday you brought her home 🥹

[@essiee8759]

Really liked this, very real. You show your struggels, and that it is okey and how you deal with them with grace. 5th baby will be here with in days so this is a good reminder for me for this season of life ❤

[@tiaratran]

Second time listening to this because there are so many gems ❤

[@marissamarroquin7908]

I would love to see a video of your Bible study “routine” …Like everything you do to study, books you read alongside the Bible, etc ♥️

[@godsgirl7201]

I haven’t been getting any of you’re videos and I have the notifications on

[@tiffanygilbert6817]

Love your videos, such a blessing! What baby carrier are you using? Been on the hunt for a new one!

[@sya117]

This was amazing 🥰

[@chandaelizabeth3046]

How has your ulcerative colitis been? Just got diagnosed & feel like it’s taken over

[@ErinNicole617]

[@elizabeth7731]

would you be interested in doing a video of baby names you liked but didn’t/wouldn’t use?

[@RobertaStonequist]

yes can’t have the spiritual without the practical and can’t do the practical without the spiritual! Praise the Lord God for all He has led you through and to ❤️🙌

[@ashleyirizarry-diaz6415]

What car seat and stroller do you recommend that works with newborn to grow into toddler or fill you need to purchase a complete new one when they are a toddler?

[@amyann47]

Pregnant with my 3rd after a miscarriage. I struggled a lot going from 1 to 2. I have a counselor now that will meet me via phone and I’m praying it will help ease that transition.

[@alyssa.017]

What curriculum do you use for homeschool

[@nat12312]

Would you consider doing a regular sit down chatty video rather than the voice over and cleaning footage? Sometimes it’s just easier to connect and it’s nice ❤️

[@pmk5030]

Hey Milena! Love your channel, your content and your beautiful family. Great video! As a mom of two under two, I really appreciate your spiritual encouragement and practical tips for this season of life. May I ask what brand of baby carrier you use? There are so many options out there but I'd really appreciate a recommendation. Thanks so much! Keep doing what you do and God bless!!

[@TracieSmithpomeranian]

I love the guard dogs. They look scary. 😂🤣😅

[@dorisvouri3893]

Hi! I really like your videos ❤️ currently pregnant with my second baby. I’m wondering what carrier for baby do you have?

[@yoanitachandra4243]

Make a vlog about all kinds of baby things, like how to calm a crying baby, baby care, putting a baby to sleep in a Moby wrap, etc. thanks

[@IndigoJebus]

Not me watching watching this at midnight🙊

[@Erin_29]

I always breastfed my baby girl really well during the day....and she still woke up 4x during the night to feed. I stopped at 4 months, and went to only one feed at night until she was 7 months old. Every baby is different. She also ONLY would contact nap during the days until she was 8 months old. She's 14 months old now and sleeps 9-10 hours a night. It took almost a year for that to happen!

[@adesnvanderpool896]

Where is your dress from? I love your style and ALL your content ❤️❤️❤️

[@KertStover]

I have 2 under 2 also and i found what works best for me personally is to actually wear my toddler(because she is a runner with LONG legs) and keep my baby in his stroller. That way they are both safe.

[@KatieGraceHealthFitness]

Would you ever make an app that follows your organisational tools, that’s interchangeable to add or not add different things. Example: shopping lists, meal plans, baby feeding, home schooling, pet responsibilities, mapping your week. But all in one app??

[@Nellahgrace.]

I love the intro and what you said, I literally just uploaded a video on my channel called “running your hole like a business as a homemaker” lol so I truly resonate x

How do you keep such a clean house with 4 kids? I have two and work 32 hours a week and I feel like my house is in shambles

[@jl8805]

9:25 such a cute bag, where did you get it from? :)

[@elizabethmcgrath537]

You mentioned you’re working on a child not running away and obeying. And I very much need to know how a parent is supposed to teach that. Because I don’t know how. What age is appropriate for that even? I have a 2 and 4 month old

[@kaitlyn5538]

Where is that wooden barn from that your children are playing with?

[@timelesscollective]

"or you end up watching a video of two guys building a slide in the middle of the woods with a fork, and you think, how did I get here" this had me cackling and wishing I didn't relate so much, but I did 🥲

[@annakish77]

I'm really curious as a kenyan concerning the culture in America in general. Here,any household have nannies and house managers who help out and greatly reduce the house workload, especially cleaning and taking care of children moreso for working parents. I notice this is not really the same for the states, just wondering if getting nannies and house managers is not a norm, or is it just expensive???

[@laurenpineiro4199]

I’m so curious, are you guys still building a home? I thjnk that was a project you mentioned in the past and I was wondering if you were still working on it? ❤

[@barbieestes9078]

Hi, thank you, as always, for your authenticity and encouragement!and congratulation on your precious boy… So thankful for all the Lord is doing in this season for your precious fam. Where can I find the templates you spoke of? Thanks in advance and God bless!

[@laylalovesand7075]

How did you get baby to sleep through the night? Are you nursing? My 2 year old still doesn't

[@RCGWho]

I shared a brief summary of schedule feeding on Farmhouse on Boones most recent solo Q&A. It's basically a 3 hour eat/play/sleep cycle. Babies on a schedule sleep through at approx 6 weeks.

[@RCGWho]

When you don't schedule feed and train them to go to sleep on their own, you have to do a sleep training that will involve a CIO cry it out method. Children get used to an erratic nonschedule, their circadian rhythm is messed up and requires retraining. I don't know what website or book or method younger mothers are using for this.

[@hannahroseloftus97]

Please know that sleep is developmental, you cannot ‘teach’ a child to sleep. They can only sleep through the night when they are ready developmentally, however there are things that you can do to assist them with the transition when they are ready. Consistent bed time for example (within half an hour). Also to consider, if your child is in another room than you they may be seeking your comfort and this is NOT a bad thing. Children’s survival relies on being close to mum so they naturally want to be close to you. Once I co slept and surrendered to the season of it, both my kids eventually just started sleeping through the night on their own without me doing anything other than reassuring them they were safe and settling them back to sleep every time they woke.

[@hannahroseloftus97]

CIO does NOT teach a child to sleep, it teaches them that when they are sad, hungry, scared, in pain, feel sick and cry out to their mum to seek comfort as their only form of communication, that mum will not answer or come to them. Their needs are still there, they just stop signalling out to mum for the comfort. They eventually tired from crying so much and pass out to save energy as a survival tactic. When done a few times they may not cry anymore and just lay there and fall asleep themselves but they have not ‘learnt’ to sleep, they learnt there’s no point crying out to mum as she will not answer.

[@user-pg8of5pq6t]

i feed to sleep (both my children) and they both slept through once i night weaned at about 15months :)

[@H48972]

Do you feel like better help really has solid therapists?

[@Ylvuna]

I have a prayer request- last year I met the love of my life again ( we where together 5 years ago but broke up ) so I prayed the 5 years the he may come back into my life and here he is again and we ended up together again this year but he is not sure if the feeling he has is really love.. because it’s not like all the butterflies ect. So i pray that he realizes that he love me and that he can really feel the love. I would be very happy if some of you would pray with me ❤

[@laylalovesand7075]

What's a feeding schedule?

[@therealsubaekhyang]

It's for when she nurses her baby I think

[@amaliewver9677]

Having specific times or a specific routine for breast feeding ❤

[@nickischroeder6048]

Were you talking about primitive technology (the boys digging in the jungle)? My almost 7 year old son loves those videos and now tries to dig “caves and tunnels” in our backyard 😂🥴 Thanks for sharing these tips Milena! I struggle with executive functioning and I look at my lists and feel so overwhelmed.

[@mommyjaslynn]

❤

[@adsf6033]

2 under 2 is a lot, I feel you. 3 under 3 just feels like 2 under 2 with an older kid imo but maybe just personalities. My two year old is like yeah whatever you already stopped holding me at 14mo. Middle child screams if they aren’t held in the wrap. All. day. Lol

[@ellythomas1972]

I don't want to be slammed for it, but I'm still totally caught up on the fact we have no clue about your second son's name and I'm praying that I am able to give where you have rightfully asked for grace and where you have given us the grace of sharing your life with us in the first place Milena. With that said I really really respect this video format though, it's beautiful getting to see your home and go through life and your routine with you without you having to stop and take apart yours and your kids' routine or lives just to let us in, it feels somehow more intimate without being intrusive. Thank you for your honesty, thank you for your grace and thanks God for your spirit of discernment and perseverance to be able to accept changes and model that not just for your family but for us too.

I’m curious why you are homeschooling your kids even though your eldest just turned 5? Why not wait until the fall to start kinder? I’m sure it’s a personal decision and what not, just seems stressful to do homeschooling with a new baby when you don’t have to yet.

[@KertStover]

I homeschool my 3 year old right now and I started when she was 2. Simple things like colors, shapes, numbers, alphabet and praying are all important!! Even public schools require parents to have taught certain things before kindergarten begins. No child is too young to learn something. Anything really, their brains are like sponges!!❤

[@judijackson4197]

Milena! I had a dream about you last night! I was walking in the woods and came upon a cute little cozy cottage. You invited me in and I immediately felt warmth and love. I asked you if I could pray for you and I put my hand on your right shoulder and prayed (I don’t remember what I prayed?) Anyway, I literally never remember my dreams but this one seemed so real and detailed! Be Blessed ❤️ God is with you!
