I'm sorry in advance for the majority of this video just feeling like complaining! I was editing it like ugh, I don't like to upload stuff like this. But it's kinda just what's going on with me. There are definitely positives too, which I practice gratitude and prayer for daily, but damn this video would've been an hour LOL

[@stevenblyth5746]

No that’s okay Kristen but I❤you’re videos and my name is Steven Blyth-Hooper and I’m from Southampton, England and I’m 21 and I was born on the 9th July 2002 and congratulations for making more videos on KZbin but I❤you so much and I❤you’re videos so much Kristen so I hope you have a beautiful nice day Kristen from Steven Blyth-Hooper from Southampton, England❤️🥹😉😌😇😊☺️😘🥰😍

[@ohhlimpeeah]

Whatever you choose to do, with bedtime, with punishments, anything, keep it up. That's the biggest mistake I ever made was breaking the routine or trying something different. Just gotta be consistent lol

[@camilove318]

It's all good. It's good to vent, and it's good for me to see influencers keeping it real. Lord knows my life has ups and downs. When it rains it really does pour. You got this and you look great! 💜

This video is great all of us moms love hearing this type of talk makes us feel not so alone in all of it! ❤

[@siennastahura3946]

You are not complaining your sharing the struggles we all our struggling with🩷 I love watching videos like this bc it humanizes the world around you instead of feeling like your the only one who feels like they’re struggling

[@Jlynne3323]

Ok girl, I got you…I went through this (with twins), and this is what worked for us… For her clinginess AND her not wanting to socialize with anyone outside of her familiars…this is just her feeling insecure. So get some figures (dolls, block people, army men, whatever she likes. And sit down with just her for 20 mins a day and play dolls with her (on HER level…don’t try to teach her or anything like that…just play). Play the rolls like walking up and saying hello to the other “people”. The one on one undivided attention will help her with her clinginess and the role playing with the dolls will help her develop a healthy, natural way of how people interact with other people. Double whammy. :) As for the sleep regression…she will do it a few more times too unfortunately, so this is the area it’s good to teach them lots of self comforting and self soothing techniques. One that worked great for us was getting a weighted “lovey” (one of those stuffed animals with the little blanket attached, but a slightly weighted one (make sure it’s meant for kids so it’s not too heavy for her). The trick is YOU carry it around and love on it, have her interact with it some, but mainly have her connect it with you and then the first time she has trouble sleeping, give her that lovey and see if she finds it soothing (might not work the first try…don’t give up on it). Not only is it something she will associate with the comfort of her mom, the weighted lovey will make her physically feel more secure. Hope it helps! You’re doing great (and I have never felt more connected to you than I do with this video girl lol…alllllll the same issues and worries over here too. …inability to lose weight all of a sudden, jacked hormones, life balance, aging parents, mom guilt…Getting older sucks lol.)

[@lydialussier2604]

I love the honesty in this video ❤️I feel like a lot of “older” KZbin watchers have noticed a downfall in KZbin content in general and the content creators just kinda gloss over things. Personally I love seeing vlogs and I mainly look for people I relate to (like who doesn’t lol🤦🏼‍♀️). But honestly I love your channel. It’s very no bullshit and feels like such a breath of fresh air.

[@actually_abi]

I second this! ❤

Honestly I've been watching you for at least 8 years. Started with artic fox, veneers to animals, watching your videos helped me realize I didn't have the proper space for rabbits. I watch so many different types of videos from makeup to gardening so anything you put out I'll be watching.

[@KristenxLeanne]

awe I love this comment. Thank you for being here through it all. I'm stoked to have you here. I miss having rabbits!! You just reminded me. One day when I have the space I would love to rescue some again!

Love how real and down to earth you are. Life is not always a bowl of cherries, I love that you don't pretend it is! Please talk more about the hormone stuff, if you feel comfortable of course. I'm going thru some similar stuff and have no one to talk to about it anybody to discuss with. I'm 49 trying to stay in shape, I've totally lost my sex drive and it's becoming an issue with my husband, obviously. And loosing hair and all kids of other stuff and I think it's my hormones. Would really love to hear more about your journey and what is working or what your trying now. Thanks!

[@EverythingOnIce22]

We're currently in the toddler bed transition phase. If you have an extra mattress then put it on the floor that was a big game changer for us. We also wait until little has fallen asleep before we sneak up. We think it's just due to them wanting to be close with us. It's just her wanting to take ownership over her own space as far as the cleaning thing goes. She also sees you doing and wants to mimic you. Very normal toddler behavior

[@nicholebaxter9192]

We care! ❤thank you for sharing your heart.

[@daniellebritneymille]

Hey girl, thank you for being honest with us. Same situation w my dad. He’s 78 (20 yrs older than my mom), survived a 10% survival month stay in ICU in 2022. We up and moved states for more help. It’s devastating to see that he’s not the same anymore. Everything I see hurts. My mom is hurting. I’m here with you! 💕

[@MissSajaJ]

Authentic, long form content is still my favorite. I'd pick watching you and RBK before almost anything, any day. Having kids in the same age range is super fun and relatable, too. Thanks for being open and honest!!

[@creatingcozyofficial]

Been here for years, I’ll be here no matter what your content is because you’re awesome 🤷🏻‍♀️ I have no wise words, I say just post what you want, your tribe will be here! ❤

[@kristamt9752]

I always love hearing about your life and will always listen to your updates!!

[@annarae13]

16:26 i’ve been here since I was in middle school/early high school so the early/mid 2010’s! I will literally be here forever. You and your videos just speak to me and everything I love 🥰 KZbin and the beauty KZbin industry in general are so different now. It’s so strange to see how it’s evolved!

[@nikkipritchett9026]

I've been watching you for years. Most of my favorite beauty youtubers have morphed their channels into mostly vlogs, which I enjoy, with random other videos sprinkled in.

[@JennaLeeInsanity]

Hang in there beautiful. This is just a season. Don’t feel like you have to play down your struggles because someone may have it worse. Your struggles are 100% real and we all can relate in some way. Life has been a grey cloud for me too lately and I can’t get myself out of it. I fugging love you. I always get stoked when I see you have a new video out, even it’s you sitting in a chicken coupe looking 🔥 🤣 Keep your chin up girl, you’re a badass babe (even if it’s you don’t feel like it right now) and this will pass.

[@abby.warner]

I think I’ve been following you for about 8 years. I’ve loved the evolution of your channel. I will forever love makeup tutorials. I do enjoy reels too but more in depth is my fave. I also love vlogs. Love seeing all the family and animal stuff too. Would love more but also, being a momma comes first and I think most of us get that🩵

[@cs5889]

I watch a lot of day in the life, cooking, animal content and gardening.

[@RachieRen.]

Finding balance between emotional needs while teaching boundaries or independence is soooo hard!! I struggle still and my kids are 6 and 8! The older they get the more you are able to communicate better with them though so it gets a little easier that way!

[@staceyp5431]

I can relate to you with your dad. My dad didn’t have Parkinson’s but his health declined rapidly and it’s hard to watch happen. Just keep the memories of your dad in his prime, that for me helped me get through it all and when I lost my dad 2 years ago.

[@monalisavito9556]

I will literally watch you make a box of Mac N cheese if that’s where you’re at in life! Home, animals, kids, cooking here for it all💜

[@jackieison4793]

I'm in the same boat as you with your dad declining. I'm 41, he's 66 and was diagnosed with Parkinson's 5 or so years ago. Last year he had surgery on his back and something happened and he tried to get up and his back fractured. He ended up having some vertebrae transplanted and had a fusion. It's been really hard to watch him go through it. On top of it, my stepmom is terminally I'll. He's still working full-time, often from home. Seeing him frail and struggling to get around and not being in a position to be with him (he moved further away before he bought a retirement home) is horrible. I feel you. I'm glad he's still here, but it's sad to watch things go downhill and there's nothing to do. My heart goes out to you.

[@lilijimenez2514]

As I’m nap trapped with my three month old constantly, I love watching your videos and rewatching the OG videos. I’ve worked in the beauty industry for over twenty years and enjoy your beauty content but have especially loved watching you become a mom and sharing the realness of it all from your pregnancies to now. Chicken and garden updates are fun too! Thank you for keeping it real! ❤

[@mikkib17]

Love whatever you do for sure been here for years! I’d love to see a chicken coop tour and animal update :) I loved seeing all your rescues back in the day.

[@crypticamethyst]

I still enjoy all of your content! I feel the OG’s still come to KZbin. Always happy to see a new post from you. Also, you look gorgeous! Love the chicken coup! 🐓

[@AdriLo2022]

1. You look great especially after 2 kids! 2. I would love to hear more about the hormone panel and potential treatments for it. I’m interested in that and would love to hear more info about it. 3.I’m sorry if I missed it but any update on your pup?

[@user-og6vc9vk1x]

I for one watch your videos now more than ever. I think it's because you being this open about life and sharing your thoughts and feelings always resonates deeper than products and tutorials, which were also enjoyable. So, thank you for it all. Many of us appreciate this and I hope it's known ❤. Thank you for sharing about your father ... some of us are in that same phase of life and it is indeed challenging.

[@sydmo21]

So bummed to hear you’re not profiting much anymore from your content.. so many of my fav KZbinrs for years now are now struggling with this. It’s truly unfortunate. Been here with you for almost 10 years now and have always loved your content whether it was makeup tutorials,animal vids, vlogs, hauls etc. you’ve always been authentic & real and that’s what I love most about you! I feel like I can relate with you and always have. I was pregnant with you BOTH times! So I love hearing how you’re handling the mom life and 2 under 2 because it is not easy! I’m sorry you’re going through so much right now ❤ Ps: are those silkies and polish hens!? Because I too have polish hens & silkies! They’re the best and just wait until they start laying! Silkies have little eggs in comparison to regular chicken eggs! Pretty cool and fun thing for the kiddos 😊

[@karencook446]

I have been loving your content. I used to be on KZbin for all the makeup/beauty content. Now, a lot of the videos I end up enjoying are vlogs chatty get ready with me. I had my first son a few months after you had Harlow and now I’m pregnant again. So watching all the stuff you’re doing through with them has been awesome. I also personally feel like I align with your viewpoints on certain aspects, which many KZbinrs don’t seem to share. I’m glad to see that kind of representation because it’s ruined my interest in some of the KZbinrs who used to be my favorites.

[@Greeneyez10961]

Thank you for saying Prescott correctly! Also I don’t know about anyone else but I appreciate the “complaining” Lol. Let’s face it shit is not all sunshine and rainbows and life sucks sometimes and it’s nice to know it sucks for other people too. Not in a “haha I’m so glad you’re having a rough time” type of a way. More of a “thank god I’m not the only one” type of a way. If that makes sense.

[@Ahausma8]

Our daughters are the same age and we are in the same boat. You’re not alone. I chose a phrase to show brix she didn’t have to worry about cleaning and panic “OOPS! No big deal! “ and it’s honestly really helped her anxiety. I’d loveeee to see videos of your go to for trendy cute kids outfits and I love love the homestead project content! So happy to hear you’re taking steps to feel better

[@margiewalker1808]

Parenting is hard as shit! And I hate to say it but the problems don’t get easier just different. My best advice is love them with all your heart and use your instincts to do what you know is best. The hardest thing you will ever do is parent. I have watched you forever. I actually found you on your animal channel. I have snakes. I have enjoyed most of your content. I watch everything true crime, cooking, diy’s, history, crafts, podcast, vlogging, makeup, fashion, interior design anyway a huge variety, Just keep pedaling so you don’t fall over.

[@mermaiddiyartist8119]

Sending love! Long time viewer. It’s sad to see so many of the creators I love desert the platform, so I’m always happy to see you post. Watching a lot of vlogs and product reviews here mostly. Wish people posted more.

[@aprilhampton6298]

Please give yourself grace. Being a mom is hard and being a mom of more than one young child is exponentially harder. When you add in the fact that you have so many things going on with little time for yourself it's difficult. I watched my dad pass away from COPD it was one of the hardest things I've went through. Growing up my dad played with us a lot. We played baseball, went to the lake, hiking, and walking on our hands across the yard. I really was looking forward to him doing things like that with my kids but he didn't get to. With Harlow it's just a phase, my advice is pick your battles. If it's something like wanting to sleep in the floor it doesn't really hurt anything, consider allowing her to do it, but sleeping in her room is a must. She will eventually get over not wanting to be away from you, she's probably seen that behavior from kids at daycare and is modeling that. Lately I find myself watching gardening videos. You are the only one that I have continued to watch in the "beauty" community on a regular basis. I watch everything you put out because you're real. You don't try to make it seem like life is all sunshine and roses.

[@melwhitham1544]

Yayy a new video! I love your super relaxed vlogging day in the life, as it's like spending time with a friend 😍 always here for the pets too xxx

I feel like I've grown with your channel, I went through my hair dying phase with you, makeup phase, animals, now mommy hood!!! Also i love your vlogs!! I wish creators would get back to KZbin more!! I feel like tiktok, and insta kind of shoved youtube in a corner and i hateeee it 😆 I miss Jaclyn Hill on here too. its just not "popular" anymore unless your a reaction channel. I've even heard some of my friends say it's an attention span thing, they want info dumping as fast as possible these days. 😮‍💨

Loved this video girl. So true that there's so much going on in everyone's lives that no one knows. Hang in there. Love your honesty always. You're the most relatable KZbinr!

[@rachelmartinson4542]

Honestly, I love watching morning and night routines moms have with their kids. Gives me ideas to try, shows realistic expectations that life with kids is hard, stay at home parent is hard. Your night routine or morning routine after the kids go to bed, how you unwind. Self care nights and so on. You are amazing. I have been following for years!

[@DAYALOVE123]

Been watching you for YEARS!! Love all of your videos 🩵 would love seeing some vlogs. I’m sure recording is so hard with two babies. I think you would thrive on TikTok and it would bring in a new crowd 😊 there’s so many things you could post on there from Mom talk to chicken talk now and all the animals stuff

I love catching up with you. I'm sorry to hear about your dad. I get it, watching your parents age is challenging at best. I'm super curious about your property and what you guys have going on. Gardening, animals, lifestyle etc. I keep up on your animal channel as well. Wishing you and your family love and light ❤️

[@tracycline4167]

I feel you girl. Its hard taking care of your children and holding the householddown basically alone . Ive been there. My first husband passed suddenly with leukemia. I had a 2 year old and my son was 3 mos old. I was so young and had to do it all alone . I love.your channel. I relate to your life. I know this probably doesnt mean much , but you have us. We will listen. Much love your way. Keep your head up , ill pray for you. ❤❤❤P.S. I have have ducks. Cheese and Quakers...i love them. Im getting chick's this summer.

[@virgo767]

I don’t really follow/subscribe to many channels , I’ve been following u now for quite a few years and it’s because I love your honesty . It’s nice to hear/ see someone who has a pretty good following who is just so relatable. So thank you for making time to share your life with us . I’ve been watching ppl who garden and persevere the food they get, which is funny cus I’m absolutely the complete opposite, I hate cooking and I definitely don’t have a garden, I think it’s just cus I enjoy the person and can rewatch all her videos over and over, I watch her every evening until I get ready for bed. 🤷🏻‍♀️😁

[@sarae1356]

I'm obsessed with cleaning, cooking and vloging channels! And realistic haul channels such as drug store makeup or walmart items. Also Harlow could probably see clutter and think it's overwhelming or messy. I'd remove any extra items from her bed. My daughter just went through that.

Always love to listen to you chat about everything. Your real talk is always the best. Sorry you are going through something at the moment. I know that it shall pass with time, and then it will be just a memory. That also goes with the great things in life. Love your videos always, keep on going, and will watch no matter what you decide to chit chat about!!! ❤❤❤ Also, sorry to hear that your Dad is going through health challenges. My Mom had a stroke at 69 and it's been so challenging seeing her going through this life changing illness. She went from being active and motivated etc So I can really get what you are going through with your Dad. Take care of yourself!!! ❤

[@chelseygish2236]

Not sure if you should have Harlow seen about possibly just having slight sensory issues. Someone I know was just talking about her daughter not sleeping when she was young and freaking out because her bed was messy. And come to find out once she was more verbal, she didn’t like the bedding crinkled or not smooth. She found out she had sensory issues nothing huge but just some things bother her more than average kid. So once she knew all that everything was adjusting easier when they made some changes. Not sure again if that’s Harlow at all, but just something to consider. Love you! I’m a mama too and 6 months pp w my second. I need rose and my alone time too. And my husband works a swing shift 4 on 4 off 12-16 hours and it’s rough. Totally get it❤

I’ve been a long time sub, since the very beginning. You remain one of very few OG KZbinrs who just stay so real and so unfiltered, you say things how they are and you’ve always been unapologetically yourself. I think all your content is great, life ebbs and flows and I love that you’ve always documented every stage of your life for us to see, and we grow with you! I’m sitting here 34 years old and almost 9 months pregnant with my first child, happily married. I agree with everything you’ve said in this video, I think a lot of us millennials are going through similar things right now.. parents health declining, financial struggles (this awful inflation is not making it easier) and you know, balancing life changes whilst keeping our sanity 😂 Can’t wait to see where you’re headed in life! ❤

[@tarariggs3670]

Also been here for years. Love that youre navigating the mama dayz. When I became a mom... I was like... no one talks about how hard it is (in detail). Youre doing the new moms a service. I like seeing the day to day struggle. It feels relatable for all the moms who feel alone in their battles. Also, for cleaning... I like to watch YT videos of people cleaning to get myself in the mood to clean. Sleeping... we put our kids on a light & 🎶 schedule. For example... when the light is purple, its sleepy time. They go to their room and lay down. We also have a light for wake up time. We also have a "calm down" light for meltdowns. Lights and 🎶 can be put on a schedule or changed from the app 😊

About the health stuff, literally same. Losing weight has felt impossible after my two kids and all my levels are normal except my A1C because I'm borderline pre diabetic, but my doctor wouldn't let me test my hormones because of my age (so dumb). It's so tough to juggle motherhood and work and health, so I feel ya! Hopefully, all works out!

After watching KZbin for a decade, mostly vlogs. More so interested in the day to day stuff, would love to see the chicken coop in a vlog :)

[@AllyysonWonderland]

Been here since Jan 2015! Whenever you upload I always add to my faves to watch throughout the week when I have some quiet time (mom to a very active 6 yr old). I really enjoy vlogs, any length but especially 30-45 mins and I dedicate coffee time to go through my list. I seriously don't care if it's something exciting or even just you sitting at home with the kiddos doing chores. I think I've commented this before but I've always enjoyed your content, even when your lifestyle was less relatable but your personality has always been relatable. I can imagine feeling really restless and having that hunger to be really creative, productive, and lucrative. Hopefully with that extra childcare your mind will feel less cluttered and the creative juices will start flowing. The right project and investment opportunity will present itself✨🔮

This comment really calmed me and means a lot to me this morning, while I sit here and drink my coffee while my son naps! Thank you for the kind words and for being here so long with me. I value that more than you know. I love to hear that you guys are cool with vlogs that are just about whatever. Bc that makes things easier and less stressful and as a mom, you know all about LESS stress lol XOXO

I think the first video I ever watched of yours, you had blue hair and I don’t even remember what it was about but i was so enamered by your personality. People who give real and raw feelings and opinions are so genuine. I feel the same way about RawBeautyKristi.. i dont have kids but i still find myself watching both of your videos, even if its 30 minutes of you cleaning around the house whilst talking about your opinions on different things going on in the world. You are a very cool person, and watching your videos feels like catching up with an old friend ✌️

[@joannaluna6408]

I watch anything you put up, but I still personally love make up skincare etc hauls…also I feel that struggle your going through but in a different way but feeling super sluggish and unmotivated it sucks. I want to find my way hopefully soon.

[@Jadecheree]

Yes would love chicken tour!!

[@keelyboulter1992]

I love how raw you are and that’s why I’ve been here since 2017! We all have these hard times in life and you are no different. The real ones who’ve been here for the long haul will literally watch you talk about dirt haha we love you! And no pressure to share your hormone journey! I know I would personally benefit because I’m in the same boat doing tests etc to see why I can’t lose weight since teenage hood. We love you! ❤

[@janeneharmon4114]

Know that I am always waiting for your next video. Kids can make major changes to how and what you can do day by day, so I totally understand. Good luck with finding a house close by for your dad and prayers for his health.

[@angmarie437]

Hi, I just want to say that you are doing great and I appreciate you being vulnerable. 🩷

[@chelseadixon]

I still love makeup tutorials on KZbin. It takes me back to a simpler time.

[@angela.b.]

Oh the minis notice evverything lol. If anyone drops/spills something my son runs & gets a wipe says mess! & starts scrubbing or he'll grab the broom & sweep 😂 (he just turned 2) It is nice tho ngl lol

[@mermaiddiyartist8119]

Your oldest could be clingy from daycare or preschool? Missing you? I know it may sound counterintuitive but offering support or getting my kids into conversations when at people’s houses helped a lot. Also a hug always helped my kids

[@yessicagarcia9185]

Video suggestions or at least what I like to watch are cleaning videos, weight loss journey (I am also on my own journey so any tips or advice helps), Amazon hauls, clothing hauls, new make up (not necessarily tutorials) stuff like that. Although I do watch all of your videos regardless 😊

[@Search4Cherise]

Love you, & praying for you. ♡🙏🏿

[@adriennelynn6438]

I still watch makeup tutorials, and reviews on YT. I'll always love the creative aspects of it. I really like the lifestyle content, too, such as the chicken stuff and gardening. I just lost my dad April 26th; he was 65. My heart goes out to you. It is extremely hard to watch a parent decline.

[@PickledCreep01]

And im totally with you I have 2 girls 15 months apart they’re 3&4 right now I’m pretty much solo can’t afford anyone to help me watch them and I get to stay home and not make any money I was independent b4 as well their dad doesn’t give me a dime all month it’s brutal and 0 help with the house kids or cooking or anything I do it all and get nothing in return I’m being financially abused for sure and I’m ready to just walk out and live in a homeless shelter

[@macywright6036]

Thanks for sharing your real life. it's not always rainbows for anyone all the time. I love that you stay positive but also real

[@genr.4996]

Stumble on your videos from the Purple hair and wine tutorial, and when you were in Germany. I love your authenticity and will watch anything you put out. So relatable and real.

[@Michelle_x-jf6vx]

I’m always interested in your videos no matter the subject. I’m not a Mom but I still watch the ones about baby products! 😂 I have been around since you lived in the apartment in SD with Brixton. ❤ Please name the first chicken that you said was the smallest, Phyllis Diller. 😂 Her feathers made me think of her.

[@diddlydoodly]

Give yourself grace and more girly. Don’t be so hard on yourself, you’re beautiful and everything will work itself out. I love chickens! We built our coop and run like a tank because EVERYTHING wants to eat chickens. Make sure to have wire cloth and have it underground around the run, animals will dig and get them.

[@bekahhooper9852]

Omg i dont have kids but im going thru similar stuff. Hormones, keeping my house together, making more money etc....life is crazy and in no way am i complaining because i have a great husband that works and helps with everything but i just feel like it could be better

[@lisaAnn47688]

I personally enjoy longer content so I am pretty much on KZbin more than anything else. What interests me is vlogs, clothing hauls, occasional makeup videos, true crime, hair videos, health related content can be helpful to many people but of course only if you are comfortable sharing. I love animals so I would watch any content you put up with your animals. I found you a few years ago when you colored your hair and makeup content as well. I loved your personality and how real you were and that’s why I have stayed. I am sorry to hear about your dad and what you’re going through. Also, don’t be sorry for venting it is real and that is relatable. 🧡

[@rylishae7495]

Love to watch daily vlogs while I’m getting ready for the day! Love makeup but those have been what I’ve been interested in the most lately

[@chelseycooper9079]

I love the mom content, kid stuff hauls, and real talks! I always get excited when I see a new video of yours! My little is close to the age of your first, so it's easy for me to relate.
