I recently converted to Catholicism after many years of attending mass with my husband and I’ve found your channel to be an incredible resource. I’ve never felt more connected with God then I did after receiving the Eucharist for the first time, it was a truly beautiful experience. It’s made us go from a “go to mass when we feel like” family to an “attend mass every Sunday + all holy days of obligation” family. We’ve also recently started praying every night with our kids before we go to bed and my son, who is 3, almost has the Guardian Angel prayer memorized. It brings so much joy to my heart seeing how much he loves to pray and loves God. He’s an inspiration to me to learn more about Catholicism and how I can best serve God. I greatly appreciate you and your channel. You’ve truly been a blessing for me, as I continue along this faith journey. God bless.

[@christinewallace9251]

That’s beautiful. Thank you for sharing.

Dave Barry said "You should never say anything to a woman that even remotely suggests she's pregnant, unless you can see an actual baby emerging from her at that moment " 😁

[@FallenAngel20149]

I'm having my 4th baby and my 4th csection December 1st! I am very anxious about it, but sure everything will be fine. Please pray for me ❤

[@cathydecarles7084]

My sister is having her 7th soon, so don't worry 😉 🙏🙏

[@Coast2Coast88]

You got this! My 4th was my easiest!

[@annielaurie6150]

I’ve had 6 c-sections, and one of my cousins has had 9. 😊 Prayers!

[@Coast2Coast88]

Omg I've had 4 c sections and I'm naturally slender but I have a tummy. I get asked ALL. THE. TIME. If I'm pregnant. It's so depressing. People should NEVER ask. Ever. I've had neighbors come out and congratulate me. I'm like for what? The burrito I just ate? Thank you for being open about that. ❤

[@sunnygem21]

It happened to me the other month. After my second child which was also my second csection, my tummy is prominent. I look in the early stages of pregnancy.

[@martharinebiseko1457]

I had 5 c sections.... Tummy exercises help....start slowly

[@Creative2xmom]

Low tech/slow tech is definitely the way to go with kids... and really all of us. We joke about tech addiction, but it's a real thing. If it wasn't, we couldn't all relate to the joke. We need to take a step back and realize what we're doing to our kids.

[@summerlake356]

I just love Heather's face! Am I the only viewer who thinks she has the prettiest features ever? And style to accentuate! Mesmerizing! God bless!

[@jasonandmikaylahunt1473]

I'm doing Walking With Purpose at my parish too! I am really enjoying it. We're doing Keeping in Balance this year. It really makes you take a good look at yourself. No fluff in this program. It's made me think about things and my journey to holiness in a different way. But it also creates a warm and welcoming atmosphere. Where you can be challenged but also share your heart. I really love how it's structured too. With multiple different groups meeting at different times throughout the week. So more women are able to join. And then getting together with all the groups once a month. It's a program that will welcome and challenge you where ever you are in your faith.

[@Cloggindancer]

Please tell us about your health and fitness routine!

Hello, Heather. I have been praying every morning and night before I go to bed. I have asked for god’s help about my battles with mental illness and struggles with anger and he has been a big help in changing my moods for the better. 🙏🏾

Your videos are my favorite! ❤ was feeling down today and your video notification popped up and it's brightened up my day. 🙂

[@elizabeth.annrose]

God bless you and yours, Heather. And I absolutely agree about no phones for your children.

[@Maggie-iz9oj]

Great video! And yes Gabi’s video on mental prayer is life changing. I close my eyes in a quiet place and picture myself in a biblical location with Jesus, what he wearing etc. I sit with Him and talk to him and imagine what he would say back to me and I always hug him. If you allow yourself and just focus on you and Jesus it is life changing.

[@LenaSheppard]

I enjoy your q&as. Thanks for doing this. I appreciate you being here with us !

[@keedee3104]

While you were answering the staying fit question I was eating two cinnamon rolls. 😂 But I also am 6 months pregnant with twins so maybe that’s the excuse I’ll go with 😅

[@christinewallace9251]

Congrats!!!

[@monicageller226]

Not done watching yet but the questions are soo good! I Always enjoy your content Heather.

[@bobbieditcharo-roland608]

So great to hear how you are rearing your children. Awesome and wonderful. So refreshing to hear.

[@jeselletanierlahernandez2537]

Thanks Heather for sharing this. You have always been my go-to Catholic vlogger since 2020🥰 God bless your ministry

[@timetocool]

Thank you for introducing GabiAfterHours channel..............amazing person...........beautiful stories.

[@victoriacugini9147]

Thank you so much for answering my question! I love these videos so much.

[@ACatholicMomsLife]

Sure!!!

[@emilycarr2983]

Dang, there were some really good/hard questions here. Thanks so much for sharing your thoughts!

[@catholicpeaces6257]

You videos no matter the topic have always struck the right chord for all who need a reminder to keep the Faith and God First. It is a struggle but Catholics KZbinrs are such a great supplement for the lay to stay the course.

[@Carla-hv3xw]

Thank you so much for sharing! 🙏🏼🩷

[@deb9806]

I lost 30 and flattened stomach at 55 cutting carbs and upping protein but mainly I feel not eating after 7 most nights. That was hard but I don't miss it much now. Keep up the good work!

[@TheCrunchyCatholics]

Hi Heather! Just wanted to pop in and say hi! ❤ love your casual videos

Hi Heather this is a wonderful Visit thank you for sharing it 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻✝️✝️✝️☮️☮️☮️📿📿📿📿

[@annielaurie6150]

Heather, Thank you for this video! If you have more info on the bad effects of phones on kids, that would be great. So many of us are affected by societal pressure to give our children the latest technology. We need to hear more of how it affects them.

[@rebeccamorris1032]

Thank you so much!

[@jow.2450]

Did I miss the macro cups you spoke about? Good for you on figuring out what works for you.

[@elizabethbrink476]

No , not 21 day fix 😮I used to do that…torture! Good on you girl!!

[@littleczbear9102]

Hi Heather! At the end you're talking about social media and the kids relationship with computers and the gap phone that only texts/calls. You then go on to say that you could make a whole video on this topic. Could you please? I want to hear you discuss this more, especially as my husband and I are only just starting our family and will have to think about these things eventually (We had our first this May.) I know you're on a break right now, but hopefully you can keep it in the back of your mind. Love from Australia 🦘

[@judgmentaltoast]

Great video! Thank you so much for sharing. I LOVE that you mentioned Gabi After Hours!! Been watching him for YEARS and I am so happy that he is getting more attention for his channel. LOVE his content and love yours too. God bless you Heather! If you could, please send up a teeny little prayer for me that I find my future husband! I just turned 30 this year and Im still looking. 💔💔🙏🏻🙏🏻

[@barbaracimini1447]

I just love you so much! You’re such a reassuring presence.

Shout out to walking w purpose, started a group here in Hawaii on Oahu at St Anthony’s Kailua, life changing! Come and join if you live here 🤗

Would love for you do dinner a whole video on technology!❤

[@fclucky910]

Can you please link the video where you discussed fertility diet (or am i imagining that?). maybe it was off-balanced hormones. Or can you please do a video about that. Love your videos, God bless!

[@rociochavez418]

I want your skin care routine. Your skin is flawless. ❤❤

[@cs6189]

“Mental prayer… it’s supposed to be amazing” 😂

[@Amv332]

Can you do a video on the eat style you are doing right now

[@user-mv2tg8hc8c]

Also, I noticed for me that certain dresses that I wear make me look pregnant. The dresses that have that high waste makes people think of pregnancy and it can emphasize the belly. I stay away from that style. No high waste for me!!! Lol

[@KatRunion]

The only time I wished my kids had a phone was Friday. When my daughter’s school was on complete lock down because of an active situation. 😢😢 so scary

[@RGRGIS]

Like!

Thank you for your content 🌹 where can I buy a candle for the 3 days of darkness please?

I bought mine from Etsy

[@jeniferlopes1887]

@@ACatholicMomsLife Thank you 🙏🏼🙏🏼

[@leslie1788]

I’m not Catholic but studying it after Mormonism. I love the openness to life teaching but what about couples who earn very little? I worry about hungry kids … can someone explain?

[@alldoneup]

It'll be fine, my mom was a widow with 7 kids and sometimes we did go hungry...but we had eachother and it made us strive harder. Now we are all grown up and are eating quite well. =D Never fear being open to life, we are not guaranteed any number of children we want nor are we guaranteed our children will outlive us...we must lean on God and not on our own understanding when it comes to openness to life.

[@joannesalazar1766]

Omg im really interested in the phone you buy for your child, share me please the link, thanks. God bless you!!

[@xShesLikeAStar]

Hi Heather, I would be super interested to know your thoughts on the recent news regarding Pope Francis allowing transexuals to be Baptised, be Godparents etc. Love the video, I had never heard of the three days of darkness until now. God Bless!

[@tmaffeo]

Just beautiful . I’m a very happy Nonna who has two grandkids from my daughter Michael 6 and Marianna 4 . My hubby and I are practicing Catholics. Our two adult children Pasquale 44 and Rosanne 42 were practicing Catholics but since their confirmation and about a year more they stopped going my son was an altar boy too . My priest said leave them alone thell come back when they’re ready . I told my daughter not to be a hypocrite if your are baptizing the kids you best better be going to mass every week and if you don’t take them we will . From 1 years old both kids came to church with us . I found such cute biblical cartoons of Jesus , Noah’s ark etc and you get string and sew around the whole card . Kids love them plus adorable mini books of Jesus . Michael starts ccd this year in preparation for his communion in second grade he already knows his prayers he knows all the miracles Jesus did and he knows the rainbow 🌈. So your doing an amazing and stick with Heather she’s teaching me a thing or two 🌻🌻🌻

[@marienicholson9749]

Couple weeks ago you suggested a book of the Bible to read it each day during Advent I wa nt to do this what book is it

[@christinewallace9251]

Yes, Luke. 24 chapters, do one chapter daily starting December 1.

[@ACatholicMomsLife]

Yes! Luke🥰

[@user-ik3pb6he7z]

Heather can l ask u for special intentions to pray for my family to long to go into but much needed prayers would be grateful if u could just offer them up for my family God knows what these requests ate thank you heather 🇮🇪✝️🕊️💜🙏🙏🙏♥️🙏♥️

[@ACatholicMomsLife]

Yes! I will pray!

[@stuartist]

If you do want to try for another baby, red light therapy helps some women with fertility. You just place the lights on your abdomen a couple times a week, and it's suppose to increase ATP production in mitochondria, which can lead to a number of beneficial effects for reproductive health. They have 160mW red lights for weight loss on places like mychway or ebay that can penetrate deep enough to reach the ovaries. Obviously it's no guarantee, but some women have found it effective.

[@claudiamooney4507]

Just wondering…you said you buried your baby in the back yard? Is that ok to do? I always thought it should be in a cemetery…🤔

[@susanspianostudio7057]

Yes! Totally acceptable.

[@susanspianostudio7057]

Especially if its a early loss that happened at home.

[@LB-ku6ry]

@@susanspianostudio7057This is knew to me. I thought as Catholics we are to bury the dead in a Catholic Cemetery. Also, Heather-I’m so confused. Did you have a Christian burial where the priest says prayers? This is all new to me. Thank you.

Where did your husband go? I assume he is a service man. I pray he is not passed for the sake of your family.

[@susanspianostudio7057]

In another video she said he was gone for work for one year but now he is back. I think he asked her not to share what he does for his job for privacy.

[@jannier9766]

Her husband was working overseas for a year. He is back now.

Do you ever feel like the Bible’s negativity around homosexuality is a result of the times and the humans writing the Bible, and not actually god’s will?

[@ACatholicMomsLife]

Bible was written by the Holy Spirit, so no. God has his reasons and is never wrong 🥰

[@femaleKCRoyalsFan]

Sodomy is unnatural and got a city destroyed. How do you think God feels?

[@susanspianostudio7057]

The Bible says God is the same yesterday, today and tomorrow.

Thank you for being so real, honest, and true to the Catholic faith no matter what. ❤

[@victoriasoto7335]

God is not a God of contradiction. He’s Word is Eternal and for all times. I’ve questioned myself the same thing but then I remember His word was meant for all times . And in that specific topic there are several references in the Bible.
