You’re so calming!! I’m currently on the floor playing with my 9 month old and you really lift me up! He’s going through a something at the moment and we slept around 4 hours total last night 😩🫣 keep it up 🙏🏻 ❤

[@athomewithliv]

Oh my gosh I feel you lovely it’s a battle and you feel like you are already on -10 energy first thing in the morning. So glad my videos lift you up, that’s exactly what I want 🥹🫶🏻🫶🏻 sending so much lovely and hope you manage to have a rest this weekend xx

[@EmilyBoorman_96]

Thank you for normalising the struggles of parenting a toddler! Your videos are so comforting 🥰

[@stephaniebeverley4439]

Another great vlog 😊 I like these mixed ones, bit of cleaning motivation, and the mum life to make us mums feel like we're not alone and in it together. 🙌 x

[@athomewithliv]

Aw thanks lovely appreciate the comment and letting me know this. Hope you are ok and having a nice weekend ⭐️

[@karlyhodge3435]

Thank you for sharing your videos and being so open and honest. My son will be 3 on the 9th of May and we have been really struggling with meltdowns recently and I am finding it all really hard mentally so it helps to see other people sharing the hard stuff too so we don’t feel alone 💕

[@mlxlmewq7733]

You looked so relaxed and happy after your solo b&m trip, it’s a small thing but you truly deserve time for yourself and it’s necessary when life gets overwhelming. I am so pleased you managed to do that for yourself. Love your videos, keep going 😊

[@Minniebol]

Great channel. Just what i've been looking for Liv. Love your honest account of adhd. I don't want to diagnose myself but i'm pretty sure I have it. I can never just get on. It's either 100% and more or i just can't motivate myself to do anything. I've been like this since I was little. I struggle most when the kids go to school. I have to be mam when theyre here. But when theyre not in, i have to push myself not to have nap or go to sleep until the school run. You are doing so well for your little boy. My daughter has autism so i know how u feel with the stress that comes along with that. Please take more time for yourself to be Liv and not Mum. Much love from up north ❤

[@athomewithliv]

Appreciate you so much! Sounds like we’ve got so much in common 🥹🫶🏻🫶🏻

[@Ameliarv]

I love a big bumper video like this with cleaning and your week in one! Well done liv your channel is amazing xxxx

[@athomewithliv]

Appreciate you letting me know thanks so much!! Can often feel like when I post my videos just go into the abyss haha so nice to have feedback, sending lots of love xxx

[@georginagreenaway466]

Love your videos so much. Makes me feel less alone in this crazy motherhood journey! 😅 sending lots of love to you and your little family 💗

[@Lucy-ym4sf]

This is the first time I’ve saw your video, and subscribed! I really liked seeing someone being so honest about parenting!

[@athomewithliv]

Aw wow that’s so kind of you 🩷🩷 thanks so much for subscribing lovely xxx

[@charlottemcquaide2949]

I just love your videos Liv. I have a 14 month little boy and currently staying sod it to the jobs I need to do and watching your latest video with an iced coffee! A moment of bliss!!! You’re doing so great 💙 xx

[@emilybethanspence]

Oh babes!!! Love this, you are so beautiful with Arlo and so patient. Thanks for another gorge video ❤❤

[@athomewithliv]

You are so welcome, oh I definitely am not all the time it’s taken time and perseverance but when he’s like he was that day in the woods it makes parenting so easy and fun, wish it could be like that more. Just want to see him happy xxx

[@christinatelfer3196]

Your just so real and honest so thank you hun! ❤xx

[@athomewithliv]

Appreciate that so much xxx

[@erinmoore5797]

Are you 100% sure about wanting an open plan layout? I lived in a new build with a separate kitchen and living room and I thought an open plan layout would be so much better. But now I’m living in a house where the kitchen and living areas are all one room and it’s a nightmare! Whenever I cook dinner I’m always so worried that my 5 year old can just run right up to the oven and he’s tall enough to reach the hob now, it’s a constant stress - just something to think about 😊

[@marioncerrone3456]

Sending you love and prayers. Stay strong sweetheart, you’ve got this.❤❤❤

[@athomewithliv]

Thanks so much 💓 have a lovely week ahead x

[@patriciapyper4617]

I also suffer with anxiety and panic attack s it is terrible good luck to you and your family ❤️🌹

[@athomewithliv]

Oh bless you hope you are ok xxx

[@sharonplayle2415]

Hi Liv, I have a 10 and 7 year old non verbal autistic girls, both struggle with sleep, maybe look into a weighted blanket, and a weighted vest for your little 1, there very beneficial for sleep and regulating sensory input. Xxx

[@CleanwithShauna]

Hi Liv :) I just wanted to say that I enjoy your channel its real life and its motivational. I am now starting my own tiny little channel and although the vids need improvement it good to start somewhere. (Not trying to self promote x just a small thank you for the motivation Liv)😀 Oh and my nephew went through the same as your son is with some tantrums xx It does get easier you are doing amazing. It was very hard for him at first 🤩but he learned to manage his feelings and communicate a bit better as he got a bit bigger x

[@athomewithliv]

Oh wow how exciting is that!! ill subscribe to you 🫶🏻 and thats for letting me know this I really hope things get easier for his sake aswell as mine, bless him xx

[@SophieandAdam]

Absolutely love your videos! I can relate so much! I’m a mom of 2 under 2 and I’m suffering with depression also ❤ sending so much love your way! Don’t worry I don’t have any mom friends either 😳🤣 xx

[@hannahmoore7155]

AHH lovely your videos, but such a nice thing to do with the self care boxes 🥰 xx

[@kayleigharcher9953]

Go on girl. You’re doing amazing 👏🏻 Love a solo shopping trip. I’m feeling inspired to book one in soon. Not too easy with 7 month old triplets and a four year old but needs must, haha. How do you set the timer on your tv? That looks so handy rather than just on your phone xx

[@athomewithliv]

Oh my gosh smashing it mama!! Yes deffo try if you can but must be so hard logistically. And just type into KZbin 30 minute timer xx

[@kayleigharcher9953]

[@sarahyee6518]

It's like a 5* holiday a solo B&M trip. Just something about open plan to think about is how cold it is and how much it costs to heat in the colder months which is 11 months a year 😂 and cooking smells especially if your hood isn't vented outside. I love your videos makes me feel not alone, so thank you ❤ xxz

[@athomewithliv]

That makes a good point but I just love the layout and having it separate in my existing home has been a pain. I will say the living room is still separate so it’s just kitchen dining together. And isn’t a solo b and m trip just the best 😍😍 hope you are ok lovely xxxx

[@laurencardwell2684]

New subscriber here 👋🏼 and absolutely love your videos! I have a little boy the same age and it's so lovely to watch someone I can relate so much to ❤

[@athomewithliv]

Thanks so much for subscribing means the world to me!!! Xxxx

[@chrissiecockill2176]

First time new mum here, only just found your channel, so far enjoying your content whilst trying to get used to mum life, my little girl is nearly 6 weeks old 😅

[@chloejessica90]

I love your videos 😊 I’m happy with all in one videos or 2 separate ones..whatever is easier for you! Also if you need any advice re toddler sleep please let me know! I’m a sleep consultant and have a 2.5 year old so happy to share any info with you if you wanted! No pressure of course. Would love to help you with those bedtime battles if I can xxxx

[@lizfield6486]

I like two videos please 😊 I love the clean, declutter series. My daughter has just started the journey with her 7 yr old to get a diagnosis. They think autism & adhd. Does Arlo sleep at night? My daughter has just bought her lad a weighted blanket & she says he’s sleeping a lot better now. She’s also started to claim dla for him even though she hasn’t got a diagnosis yet. Xx

[@EmilyHarrietStrange]

That bag/play mat is genius. It would go perfectly in our woodland theme nursery. Where is it from please? x

[@athomewithliv]

Hey its from play pouch Australia, I would also take a look at play and go xx

[@EmilyHarrietStrange]

@@athomewithliv thank you!

[@calvinliu6304]

Good Morning liv hope you have a lovely day😊

[@athomewithliv]

Have a fab weekend

[@jessmars895]

Liv, we're in the same position as you. We're in a 2 bed that looks the same as your layout, and we want a 3 bed (we've got 2 kiddos!) And I would love open plan. But we're looking at houses we can potentially convert 😊 they seem to be more affordable and alot the the houses have walls which can be knocked through! Keep an open mind babe, it'll work out ❤

[@athomewithliv]

Thanks so much aww how cool do you find it’s plenty of space for you with 2 kids? The problem I have is we can only but through shared ownership so can’t do anything like knocking down walls xxx

[@jessmars895]

Absolutely not 😂 we're on top of each other but we're muddling through! They're so little at the moment that they don't care one bit about the space, they just want to be WITH US (all day every day, yeah its alot 😂) ❤ Ahh that's such a shame! I didn't event think about that 😢 I have every finger crossed you find the right house for your family xxx

[@EmilyBoorman_96]

Where is your cardigan from? 😃

[@racheldodds8348]

Your doing an amazing job ❤

[@athomewithliv]

Thank you so much!!☺️

[@lizfield6486]

Was that your dad’s garden you showed? It was amazing, soooo beautiful 😍 regarding your house I’m a great believer in things happen for a reason & the right one will happen and you’ll know it. Also I was the same with anti depressants I was numb & all I wanted to do was sleep. I couldn’t function so I went back to the drs & I tried another tablet that worked so much better. Obviously I’d give it time, I gave mine about 6 months before I realised they didn’t help me personally. Have a great weekend lovely ❤😊xx

[@athomewithliv]

Thanks for this advice it’s definitely a struggle with the tablets but going to give it a bit more time, hope you are doing ok now lovely. And I’m the same what will be will be 💓 yess my dads partners a professional gardener hehe so they do have an advantage there stunning isn’t it. And they’ve managed to make it have so much character and charm which is hard to do in a new build garden 🪴 xx

[@lizfield6486]

@@athomewithliv it’s a beautiful garden. Yes I came off my tablets eventually. I still suffer with anxiety & feel down from time to time but life isn’t easy is it. I take one day at a time. How beautiful has it been today, it definitely helps lift the mood ☀️ xx

[@patriciapyper4617]

He is so cute ❤️🌹

[@athomewithliv]

Isn’t he cute but a cheeky monkey 😂🫶🏻

[@evekellylyon3878]

Currently watching your video as my son does his independent playing but he does occasionally come over and whacking me with this sword thing he has, so less fun. Love the video

[@craftylittlehobbies]

Hi Liv, been watching you for ages now but I rarely comment 😊 I've been on & off antidepressants since 1997. I'm currently taking Duloxetine for depression & allegedly to help with my Fibromyalgia & Chronic Fatigue Syndrome 😢 I never do anything for myself as I have both parents living with me who I have to take care of. It's so hard, but I just have to get on with it xxx

[@athomewithliv]

Oh bless you, sounds really fun on but what an amazing person you are caring for them both. Thanks for taking the time to comment, really makes a massive difference when I know people are watching💓 oh my gosh sounds like you are going through a lot I really hope things get better for you soon. You should be very proud of yourself everything you are doing for your parents when you are feeling like this and chronic illnesses too 😭 sending lots of love hope things get better for you asap x

[@patriciapyper4617]

There isn't enough help for autism ❤❤️🌹

[@athomewithliv]

Completely agree! And so little information out there online and when there is it’s so contradictory and overwhelming xx

[@melissagarrett9608]

Hey, I’m new to your channel but I’m also a mum to an almost 3 year old boy and I’ve just had a baby girl 4 weeks ago. May I ask why you believe Arlo is SEN? I’ve worked in and run a Montessori school for the last 6 years and so im wondering if I could help in any way!

[@athomewithliv]

Hey thanks lovely for offering to help. Its mainly the extreme meltdowns and behavioural issues, along with some sensory issues. To start with, I questioned whether it was just toddler behaviour but I soon came to realise Arlo was a lot more different than other children I came across. When he goes into his meltdown state, it can last a couple of hours of screaming and hurting himself. Its not nice for anyone so want to get some support for him. I have always wanted to put him into a Montessori school, I think he'd thrive In that environment xx

[@patriciapyper4617]

You should go for accupuncer is good for the whole body good luck ♥️ to you 🌹♥️
