I really enjoy watching you! You aren't following the trend of being fake like a lot of other KZbinrs. Your content is relatable and sums up being a mom. It's refreshing to see when every other KZbinr is pushing out content daily that is about their "perfect" life. Don't feel bad for taking a break when you need it ❤

[@pegah9413]

My boy (first child) was born 10 days after Linc and I have been following you from his birth. To me they are digital brothers because I learned so much from you and I am watching every single video you release to see what my son's digital brother is doing and what things I can learn from you for his appropriate age. So yeah, just wanted to say there are people like me that are not here for your newborn videos and watch every single thing you post :)

[@MadelieneVanMarter]

Awe I love that!! I feel the same way with other creators I watch! I wish I could meet my followers and see who you all are like you can see me hahaha. Thank you sm for your support🫶🏻

Such a lovely comment! ❤️🤗

[@britneyduranko420]

Glad you are back. Love your video s

[@jeannedumond285]

Please keep posting, some people do NOT care about an "aesthetic" lifestyle. Your videos are so real and much more comforting to watch because you are relatable. I honestly look up to you as a mom of 4 you are seriously doing the most and living a very full life, vs trying to live a perfect life from the outside. We appreciate you. ❤

[@heylearay]

I agree social media is draining. I don’t know how you do it as a job. I had to delete my Facebook and really limit my Instagram scrolling. That being said, please don’t leave KZbin (but also take care of yourself and your family first, always)! I’m a SAHM of 2, 2 and under and love watching your videos. You are so relatable and I feel like one of the very few realistic vloggers, I really enjoy the simplicity and “mundane” aspects of life.

[@MadelieneVanMarter]

That's so nice to hear, especially because I don't fit into that "wealthy aesthetic sahm" lifestyle lol. I feel like social media and influencers are so focused on being aesthetic that they dont want the videos that arent if that makes sense. Sometimes it discouraging so thank you for your comment!! 🫶🏻

[@BoymomVida]

I agree w you social media is so fake . You are so real . Do you mama.

[@thefuturista7836]

@@MadelieneVanMarter I think those of us who love your channel aren’t interested in the aesthetic videos of people’s perfect (fake) lives. I love your Day in the life- videos with everything normal life includes as a mom of four. I love seeing what you do as a family on the weekends, what your weekdays look like and how you manage everything. You are a great inspiration!

[@sarahp.4340]

Regardless of what you decide, just know how loved you are. You've helped soooo many women like myself who were terrified at one time or another at being a parent. The real world will always be more beautiful than what social media/youtube can ever provide for us humans. Be kind to yourself and take care of you and all your boys! ❤️

[@carawalsh2815]

I so feel this. I actually had to delete Facebook and Instagram off of my phone. I now exclusively watch videos on KZbin. But that feels manageable because I just subscribe and try to only watch the things that I’ve already decided I liked. All that being said, I don’t know how influencers do it! Isn’t a job I could ever handle

Omg I swear I did the same. KZbin is the only one I kept. I thought I was the only one

[@MadelieneVanMarter]

Yeah it’s been very hard to just watch KZbin videos without comparing myself creatively. I always feel like I’m in “work mode” if that makes sense. Tik tok is the only platform where I feel like I can enjoy what I watch because I’m not a tiktoker :)

I'm your follower from Brazil. My son is 10 months old and I discovered your channel during my pregnancy. Every since I've been watching and learning with you about maternity and practicing my english as well.

[@danni533]

I am from the uk I have had my 3rd baby 11 weeks ago and found your channel when my daughter was born. Your channel is so real life and relatable, how your manage to work and raise 4 boys I don’t know it’s amazing. I love relatable mums and real life as a Lot of mummy vlogs don’t show how difficult it can be. 😊

[@monicavelarde5356]

Just wanna say that although there is about a 20 year age gap between you and I, you are my favorite mom on KZbin. I have two kids, age 1 and 3, and I just get so much strength from watching your videos. Thank you for sharing your life with us and creating relatable content. God bless

[@MadelieneVanMarter]

🥺 thank you so much 🫶🏻

[@joreedo0830]

As a working mom of a two year old, I came to your channel because I enjoy watching/relating to another busy mom. I find encouragement and motivation watching how you raise 4 boys. I’m not here for creative content or anything extravagant…. I just enjoy watching another mom I can relate to. I remember watching a video you posted and you were so excited and passionate about KZbin. Don’t let others steal your joy and passion. Create what feels natural for you and the followers will come. I know social media is extremely toxic and I also hate being on my phone. I’m sure as an influencer it’s very hard to balance it all and remain present. You’re doing a great job!

[@MadelieneVanMarter]

Thank you! Ugh I want that passion back so badly! I think life’s just getting harder now that Lincoln’s basically a toddler and everyone’s getting older as well. Thank you for the positivity!❤️

[@B4tes1215]

Thank you sm Katie!! 🫶🏻

[@jennyeliza706]

Nooooo don't quit. Your videos are fine the way they are!!! You're the only influencer I enjoy watching. I would reach out to other mom channels and see if you can do collaborations. That's how many of them gain more followers. Like you both do a day in the life, or a decorate with me, or a meals my toddler eats in a day, etc. Then you post each other's channel and viola!

[@shelbywilliams1603]

I deleted all my social media 2 years ago and it was the best decision I ever made. I’m a lot more present as a mother and it was like a giant weight was lifted off my shoulders. You tube is the only thing I watch. I also didn’t feel comfortable showing my kids on any sort of internet platform. IG/FB/Tik Tok/you tube etc…You never know who’s watching and these days you have to be careful. But I realize this is a personal decision every mother needs to make, and I don’t judge others if they feel comfortable posting their children on the internet.❤ Do what’s best for you and your family. We are all different. I always appreciate your authenticity in your videos. 🌸

[@TrueCrime.and.DeathMetal]

I also hate social media so I feel you there. As a mom of all boys also, I really enjoy your content. I don’t watch anything else like this. My boys are teens now, so I sort of use your channel to reminisce the good ole days lol I miss them being little so much. You’re an amazing mother, and I’ve liked being on this journey with you and your family.

[@Hanna-bh3gl]

I just wanna say that I found your channel whan I was pregnant. As a first-time mom, I looked for videos to see what life is like with a baby. My son is now 3 months old and I am so glad I found your channel and still follow you. I think you are an amazing mom and KZbinr, and I am inspired by you. Finding strength in your videos when I have tough days as a new mom. So I hope you will continue to post videos, because I look forward to continuing to follow your life.

[@MadelieneVanMarter]

Thank you so much!!

[@martinimartini2945]

I completely agree with you on social media, its so distracting, I ve been trying to post and even got good number of views on tiktok but then after I realized I was constantly on my Phone scrolling and stuff.. I just dont think its my thing, but I really love your videos and watch every single one you edit, I really think they are relaxing and useful. ❤

[@honestreviewer5322]

I know I am only one subscriber and you need to hear/see this from thousands of us…but I hope you NEVER stop. You are my favorite KZbinr, you are the only reason I have notifications on because I want to watch them immediately. I find all of your content entertaining, even if it is the same type of ‘routine’ or video every single time. I think something that would help is to be more consistent with uploading. Doesn’t need to be a lot of videos but just being consistent on ‘every Monday’ or ‘every other Monday’. I have personally clicked on a new persons video that popped up that was a year ago, I liked it, I go to their channel and they haven’t uploaded in 3 months and I keep moving. I don’t subscribe and I don’t watch more videos because they are not active.

[@MadelieneVanMarter]

Awe thank you so much. I recognize your comments all the time! You’re one of my most active subscribers 🫶🏻🥹 life is so crazy so I think I’m going to try to upload at least once a week! I don’t want to set a day because my schedule with kids is too hectic to commit to that.

[@joanstewart147]

Thank you for being honest. You are actually being a good mom. I noticed a lot of influencers exploit their kids to the point where its sickening. Thank you for being real.

[@toniweeks8026]

I love watching your videos. It make me feel a little bit less lonely. I don't have family, and I only have one childhood friend left after having kids. I wonder about you, but figure you have personal things going on. I got rid of all social media. It has benefited my mental health tremendously. KZbin is the only thing I have. Your babies are adorable 🥰💛

[@sarahpedron9055]

I found your channel when I was pregnant with #5 sometime around August 2022 and it was your how to to tie a baby wrap video and I have been hooked since. Your DITL videos are so relatable, your kids have moments, you have moments, you don’t pretend like being a mum is easy and life is perfect. We need more people like you on our screens, making us feel like we are not alone. I’m in Australia so the US stuff doesn’t relate to me but that doesn’t mean I don’t look forward to all of your videos. Please don’t leave YT ❤

[@MadelieneVanMarter]

Awe thank you!!

[@stephaniewilliams0]

Just to put this out there, I don’t watch the aesthetically perfect SAHM’s, I find it sooooo boring. I seek out people like you!! So if you leave that is just letting those other SAHM’s take over and continue to influence peoples minds and ideas about how they should be when it’s so not in reality. I love your content ❤

I soooo relate to this! It’s so hard to decide what to do at times. Some days I am so motivated with it and other days I feel so behind and defeated. It feels like an never ending battle in the world of “influencer” there is never a you made it moment. But it’s like, do I stop and waste all the hard work?? What if I miss it and want to come back and it’s too late! 😅 but other days it’s so fun and rewarding! So so hard.

I completely agree with you and understand where your coming from with social media. I got to a point where I could recognize it was so bad for my mental health that I deleted it altogether off of my phone. So I no longer have Facebook or instagram. All I watch is KZbin. Just because you don’t go into an office somewhere does not mean that being an influencer is an easy job. Especially being a mother of 4 kiddos. I can’t imagine filming content, editing it all and uploading would be easy. So props to you for doing it girl. Also Hudson is just so sweet.
