SURVIVING Life As A MOM *realistic days in my life*

[@AliviaMae]

These days it feels like I’m barely surviving😭 Motherhood is NOT for the weak! But…I love it here :)

[@LifeMadeWithMya]

Being a mom is one of the world’s most toughest jobs, yet we still show up for our babies no matter what we feel, that is love! ♥️

[@AliviaMae]

Period!!❤️

[@courtneywilson3309]

Girl being a mother I felt this whole video😂😩 being a mom is not for the weak, but it’s so rewarding at the same time. Hang in there you got this!

[@AliviaMae]

I knew I wasn’t the only one😭 it’s hard out here for a MUVA! Lol but thanks girl❤️

[@zariarichards4530]

i felt tf out of this try and put him in daycare! it sucks but when you have no village you gotta do it for you so you can get what you need done

[@kayydanana90]

Yes that village is NEEDED!!! I have 5 kids & I had my village with the first 3, we decided to relocate from Michigan to Kansas in 2020 with a 6 month old & things was cool then I got pregnant & just had him 3 months ago AND BABY that thought of going back home is real because I need my village. I can’t work, go to school, use the bathroom, take a moment to breath, or nothing without being stressed. Do what you gotta do to keep your mental

[@AliviaMae]

Period!! It really is needed. I can barely have a moment to myself with one, I can’t even imagine FIVE?! You’re super woman!! Hopefully you can go back to your village❤️ but you’ve got this regardless!

[@MSStone-be5df]

Your hair is very thick and healthy. You had your hair braided up for a whole month. That is normal shedding. To keep the shedding to a minimum , you can use some castor oil with just a few drops each of rosemary and lavender essential oils. You can also put the castor oil on Angel's hair but only the castor oil for FIM and it will help thicken his hair. ❤❤❤

[@khyiathekreatour]

you got this mama, he will never be this small again & the stress is everlasting. y’all all have each other to lean on & get that village !!

[@AliviaMae]

Yes I constantly have to remind myself of that! But thank you!! Definitely going to get my village😭

[@JJ-wj6ur]

Yes! Little cute Angel is getting more active. I can't believe he's turning over and get down on the floor. You are doing a great job as a momma because it is definitely a 24/7 job. Something young mother need to realize once a mother, its for life. Especially until your child is 21 and they still need you in their life always. 👌❤❤❤❤👍🥰

[@AliviaMae]

SUPER active lol once he starts walking, it’s over with🤦🏽‍♀️ but thank you so much!!❤️ & yesss exactly!!

[@D.Suber4]

I love how authentic your vlogs are sis! Thank you for not trying to fake it for the camera, that's why we love your channel. And girl I felt EVERY bit of that motherhood chat lol, we got this tho 👏🏽💪🏽

[@AliviaMae]

Thank you! I’m glad you notice that & appreciate it :) but yesss girl we may go through it EVERY SINGLE DAY, but we got this🤣❤️

[@gracemercy656]

Girl I feel you, I am in the ATL with a 6 month old, my village in California. The struggle is real. We will get through it!

[@AliviaMae]

Yes girl you feel my pain lol but you’re right, we got this!!

[@elaineirizarry]

Love this video so much because I could relate one thousand percent. My baby boy is 7 months. And man o man those days where we feel over stimulated can really get to us! But I always remind myself it’s just for a second. Take a deep breath and keep it moving. We got this!! 🙏🏼 Us mommies are really strong for real!

[@AliviaMae]

I’m glad you could relate girl❤️ we really are strong!lol this ish ain’t no joke

[@RoseShell91]

This thumbnail though! With Angel’s laugh and your distressed look 😂❤

[@AliviaMae]

Girllll🤣❤️ I’m glad you like it!

[@ivoriecreque5765]

I feel your pain because i be having breakdowns too esp when you have no help

[@AliviaMae]

Girl it’s HARD but we in this together!!

[@RaissaKalamai]

I can totally relate to this …girlllll I had a similar type of day with my little one today only God helped me 🤗🤗hugs to y’all

[@AliviaMae]

Girlll we just be going through it some days🤣❤️

[@TanyaMercer-xt6bs]

You are doing wonderful. Yes you will have break down days but just make sure you get back up lol. Start preparing yourself and your home for the walking stage because everything he can reach will be on him or the floor. He will pull the same items on the floor 50 billion times. Never assume he can't reach something lol.

[@AliviaMae]

Thank you🥹❤️ & yesss don’t remind me😭 it’s going to get even more hectic once he starts walking!lol

[@ElsiePhiri-h7e]

Angel is so active now…. Girl always love watching your videos ❤️❤️❤️

[@AliviaMae]

Too active😭 but thank you!❤️

[@monsiebabe2817]

Heeeeeey babe. Keep keeping it real for those new mums ❤️. Us OGs look back and remember it well wondering how time flew by so fast. 😖. You're doing great Liv. It's hard to prioritise your priorities 👀 but it nearly always means us mums put ourselves last 😍 and course we don't mind that ... but one thing I learnt looking back on those days is .. make sure your baby and hubbie know your worth and what you do so you don't end up getting taken for granted. I'm telling you cos I allowed that to happen to me and it's hard to get that 'consideration' back once your self sacrifice is too much all the time! Sean's not like that though he's got you mama 👍🏾 you and he just work 😎. I love your humour 🥳 and how you care for each other and Angel. 🥰 it's the kids that learn to get away with murder by just being cute 🥰. And you don't even know you've been had til it's too late 😍🥰😃. Have you tried using your stair gate to keep Angel on the other side of the room you need to be in sometimes 🤗 especially if the babyoen don't work. 😍. You achieved so much and every lil bit including and especially our talks, cos I be answering you back when we chat babe 🥰 every bit of each vlog is enjoyable. See you again soon our precious KZbin family 😍

[@AliviaMae]

Hey boo! You know I gotta keep it real ALWAYS❤️ but thank you thank you so much!! I’d like to think I’ve got one of the good ones lol Shawn’s got my back forsure! But if that ever changes, you KNOW I’m on it🤣💯 & that’s a good idea! I could use the baby gate to keep him in one area, thanks for that! Glad you enjoyed the vlog & thank you always for your support❤️❤️❤️

[@vee9656]

Your doing really well given the circumstances ❤❤❤👏👏👏🙌🙌

[@AliviaMae]

Thank you!!❤️

[@TheBrightFamilyeats5]

Thank you! & happy three months to them❤️

[@misha2652]

Girl have that breakdown (not on camera if don’t want to) but I tell you a good cry and hopefully a nap if you can get one. You’ll feel better. My babies 7months and I’ve just started saying fuck it sometimes and napping with him, ya stuff needs to be cleaned but that shit can wait, my sanity is more important and so is yours! Take the time you need.

[@AliviaMae]

Yesss I definitely be having my breakdowns lol I’m a cryer😅 & I feel you when it comes to taking naps with them lol I be doing the same thing! They are SO much needed

[@kiannabarillas2654]

Omg I can relate with being a bit overwhelmed. I have 7 month old twin boys. Girlllllllll !! Lol

[@AliviaMae]

Twins?! Awe!! That’s gotta be awesome, but I can only imagine the overstimulation at times😭❤️ God just knew you could handle it!! lol love it

Whew yeahhhhh sis you got it!😭 I don’t have enough brain cells for all that right now🤣

[@kaylahammon5467]

What were your tips on feeding solids ? My 12 month old is still on purées . We are working on solids

[@AliviaMae]

I started with the teething wafers(they dissolve in the mouth), allowing him to suck on it and putting it in his hand and then up to his mouth so he knows the motion. I also gave him things like mandarin oranges so that when he bites down, it squishes & squirts out juice. Just little things to help him know that he has to bite down & chew. Doing this often helped him get the hang of it!

[@kaylahammon5467]

@@AliviaMae Ty so much girl !!! I’m just scared he’s going to choke

[@SheisOshun]

Heyyy girl what platform do you use to edit your videos?

[@AliviaMae]

iMovie & CapCut!

[@MsCola1990]

Do you mind doing a media kit template or email one.

[@AliviaMae]

Yes, I’ll be sure to do one for you!

[@danimari9561]

I asked for the exact same thing for my birthday 😂

[@AliviaMae]

Girl seriously!lol just let me RELAX

[@user-ji5ud7en6q]

Hey Girl Hey!! I wanted to let you know what happened to me and this could help you. I see in your videos that Angel is itching all the time and I saw in this video that you use All detergent. I wanted to let you know that my niece was experiencing the same things as Angel and she was allergic to All as it had some irritant that caused eczema or something like a rash. We switched to tide’s free and gentle. She no longer has any problems. I was allergic to it as well. When I would hold her, I would immediately start itching.

[@AliviaMae]

Hey, Thank you for this!! Might have to try it out

[@barbjones6829]

Why does the star of the show have socks on his hands?😅

[@natasharay6555]

He aint itching he mad and needs to let it out

[@AliviaMae]

Exaaactly! I’ve been saying this lol because he only itches like crazy when he’s hungry, tired, or needs a diaper change lol

[@natasharay6555]

Put him in his crib 😂you got a crooked neck due to co sleeping

[@AliviaMae]

😂😂😂 Literally!
