I love all your videos. Clean, Q & A, or anything. So happy you get to stay at home and for the new baby.

[@rebekahinelementary]

Would love to see more of your coffee chat videos! More about parenting/discipline practices that work for you and raising a child to love the Lord.

[@flwrgrl13]

I remember asking about what you would do for Jordan's 2nd birthday! I can't believe she will be 2 next week, and yes I'd love to see party prep and the birthday party. Since this would be her last birthday as an only child😊

[@mirandacraft5953]

I would love to see a party prep video!

[@madelinekiefer]

Love the idea of working ahead to give yourself a break as you get ready for Baby! Ideas: q&a/coffee chat with Michael of looking ahead to 2 girls (what you'll do the same/different, what you're nervous/excited for, etc); any cleaning or decluttering videos; any routines content too!

[@faythgessner1525]

All the cleaning and nesting videos, especially clean outs as the seasons change/new year comes. Also, what you're doing with the nursery and how you are planning to make the transition from one child to two. My sister has two sons and it was really fun to go through all the old baby clothes and prepare for the second baby so I'm curious to see what you're doing to transition and prepare.

Hey! I would like to see a video about the sensory tubs you create for Jordan.

[@HadaraValenzuela]

That cute play Kitchen was such a steal! So many sweet mems will be made when your girls play with it. I use Mary Kay waterproof mascara actually and it works amazingly!!

[@simsim8047]

Bonus video yay!

[@madisonbrasfield751]

Yes to the birthday party!! ❤️ I love seeing morning and evening routine videos, cleaning/organizing videos, and definitely coffee chats 🤍

[@katiegeslak9873]

Hi Emma!! I’m a big lover of cozy relaxing vibes of recipe planning, shopping and cooking. I know you say you always make the same things but I don’t think that matters cause there is comfort in the foods we love. No worries if you don’t like the idea 👍

[@matthewmok1575]

My sweet daughter Sofia knows be she would be the light of any party 🎉

[@kathrynthebudgetingslp4835]

Love your videos Emma! Hmm other ideas may be decluttering, meal prep, what the Lord is teaching you, lessons in parenting you’re learning/liking, books, how you wake up in the morning so early (trying to adopt this habit), ways to fill up your mama cup, marriage lessons, cleaning routines, fitness? Just brain storming over here lol ❤️😂

[@emilyclark8772]

I looooove clean with me/organize/decorating/party planning 😁

[@elizabethmajerus4047]

Are there any libraries near you that have play spaces or story time for toddlers? We go to the library 2-3 days a week and it definitely helps split up the days and time at home!

[@elenaivers]

Just wanted to say, please, Vlog, her party! I love family content!❤

[@EsEdmonds]

Jo helping unload is so sweet. 🤍 my girls don’t run to help me anymore so that is missed!

[@madelinekiefer]

I really enjoy and am encouraged by any and all of your faith-based content too!

[@kaitlynshuler8128]

I love Q&As

[@aLonelyGirlAswirl]

My favorites are vlogs and Q & As :)

[@hopemartin2425]

I also wash all new clothes before wearing them. Sometimes brand new clothes bleed color and I want to make sure that isn't going to happen on my skin. I would totally love to hear about how you balance getting stuff done versus time spent with Jordan if she is awake. Do you have structure/routine in what you do or just see how the day goes? I feel like I flip flop between letting my toddler watch too many movies so I can work and then other days I let the work slide, play with him, read, go for walks etc. He is only 20 months so sometimes I try to do learning activities with him, but mostly I just let him have free play all day. I don't want to be too structured at this age, but sometimes I feel like I should be doing more.😅 I guess that is normal mom guilt 😂

[@thatcoffeeclassroom7239]

Loving your hair!! Can you link your hair straightener? :)

[@jessicaelyse1004]

Would love to hear more about that mop vac! Does it leave your floors wet or slippery? It looks amazing how much dirt it mops up.

[@EsEdmonds]

I wanted to get it when she posted about it being on sale but I have a lab… that sheds a lot so that’s why I hesitated. My vacuum for my room alone fills up the tank when I vacuum but if not, I would have gotten it.

[@emmagracejoens]

Not at all which I love!

[@melaniecsontos9640]

I would love a party prep video. 😊

[@AaliyahSpears-HisDaughter]

I loveee the content you film with your baby girl and your new one on the way !! This is your life you are filming and these are videos your girls will be able to go back and watch and share with their future children and husband!! I think these are beautiful and special moments you should film and I love all of your vlogs !! Keep shinning the light and love of Jesus !!

[@stacey7751]

I love your calming days , I like the slow stuff walks etc with the odd recipe or haul . I like your fashion sense and food hauls x

[@katenyhus4381]

Love the video.Thanks for the bonus video 😊

[@nothanx44]

Love your haircut, definitely making me want to do a chop too!!

[@emmagracejoens]

Do it!!!

[@kaitlynshuler8128]

I’m the same way as a SAHM. I love going out to do things. Staying at home gets pretty boring, but I’m 8 months pregnant with a 15 month old so getting hard to chase her around in public places.

[@Crystal-ie2mb]

Fun video! Love both pairs of boots 🥾! I would keep both 😊

[@Mare00711]

I am going to try the ilia mascara next. I haven't found one I love yet. What do you use to take off your mascara? I haven't found my favorite for that either. Look at you go with your sponsors! Woo!

[@HadaraValenzuela]

I used that one but it was clumpy. I actually use Mary Kay waterproof mascara now and I love it! It lifts my lashes so much! Ooh I love using the Mary Kay oil free eye makeup remover for removing my eye makeup! It works super quick in one swipe. I recommend them.

[@EsEdmonds]

Dime’s mascara comes off sooooo nicely. It never leaves stains and the way it just comes off with water is amazing. It’s hard to explain but it comes off like in pieces.

[@erron95]

Video ideas: Morning routines Morning/night routine with a 2 year old New year goals/intentions How you teach Jordan about the Bible (how you raise her up with God) Cleaning routine Toy rotation/sensory bin ideas But I LOVE your vlogs and anything you post ❤

[@adrianaharris6072]

I also will not wear new items unless they’re washed but it’s not even the idea of other people wearing it it’s more of all the chemicals used on clothing and things in a warehouse before it gets to me I feel like I can always feel the starches and nasty stuff on my hands before I put it on so I can’t do it

[@ritabarnes2440]

Absolutely always wash new clothes before wearing. I love a day at home with nothing to do and I sure did when my daughter was young. Interesting about Lume as I always laugh about it works for 72 hours and I think…. Who really goes that long without a shower!

[@stacey7751]

Oh and dinner ideas x
