Packing, Tanning, Baby Clothes, + Mother’s Day - Vlogging like we’re on Facetime!

Mom of an 11 and 14 year old here. Please don’t feel like you have to apologize for having an easier baby. Motherhood is both beautiful and challenging for everyone in different ways. Each child will present parents with easy things and hard things. Enjoy the easier parts and turn to your support systems for the parts that are hard! ❤

Good grief, you shouldn't be made to feel like you have to apologize for how well your baby sleeps or for talking about him! You're doing great mama!

Don’t apologize for not filming! We still love the FaceTime chats too! ❤ happy 1st Mother’s Day!

Not Rachel blessing us with an almost 40 min video 😍💜 so excited to watch while I fold laundry 🙃

As a mom of 3 boys. All late teens and early twenties. I am loving watching you. It brings back good memories for me. Do not apologise for having a good sleeper my first slept from 8pm to 8am from 6weeks. Second got up once. Third was a cry baby lol. Every experience is different that's what makes life interesting. Also keep doing things for yourself. I am alot older and did not do that and it hurt my mental health. I figured it out later on. So happy you are doing it from the start that way you don't have to go through what I did. Honestly, it's so nice to see you doing your best. Enjoy your little one and brag all you want. I am here for it.

I loved this format, it did feel like we were on Facetime! Also, as a mum, that' baby did not sleep at all. I do not have a problem with hearing your experience. It's actually nice to hear that not all babies don't sleep. You shouldn't have to apologise for the hand you've been dealt. Enjoy it, and we can see how much you're enjoying being a mom! and it's great to hear all the nice things you're experiencing. 💜

To answer your nursing bra question, it's not gross as long as you're staying dry. There's always a chance of mastitis. I hope you had a lovely weekend with your Mom and Grandma. The pizza monthly updates are adorable.

I really love all the raw footage. So happy you had a great first mother’s day 💐

Your tan looks so good with the mama glow you have going on - love your pj set, super cute!

Every parent brags about their baby. Speak your truth sis! 💗

i’m 34 weeks preggo rn and little august’s cute happy noises in the background made me cry 😭 so so sweet 🥺

You should be able to brag when you want! As a momma of three, there will be a time when you can’t sit there and brag about sleep but there will always be something to brag about! Being a parent is hard fucking work! Remembering those bright points can bring you out of the darkest of times. Lots of love!

Hey! I’m also a first time mom and my lil guy was born March 16! I love your vlogs, so relatable! August is lucky to have you❤️

My little nephew LIVED in those rompers until he literally couldn’t fit in one anymore. I think he was almost 2 when he stopped wearing them. Literally a life saver for tired moms and caregivers everywhere, saves so much time on packing and matching clothes! Loved this format, it was so fun

Your Amazing love how you speak your mind and dont bleep out the curse words. As a parent when my boys were younger we would always over pack because we didn't want to forget anything and it was always good have extra things but we didn't wanted to buy anything we already had. As a mom we always have to do something for ourselves no matter what we choose to do.

Loved this longer, FaceTime style vlog! I'm not a mom but I feel like you shouldn't feel any kind of need or pressure to apologize for having a good sleeper! Nor should you feel like you have to justify what you're packing for August when you are travelling. I'm so happy for you that you had a great first Mother's Day 💜

Was anybody else super happy when they saw 37 min ?! Yess I love it

You're not overthinking the packing. When my kids were little and we'd pack up to go to the family cabin for the weekend, I used to say I could just as easily gotten on an airplane to some exotic island for 2 weeks. Babies need A LOT of stuff no matter how long you're going to be gone!

Girl, please don't apologize or feel the need to explain why you are excited to do things you love. I think you are close to my age and from my experience it is a knee jerk reaction to not be offensive to others, or explain yourself, or whatever. But you deserve to do things you love even now that you are a mom. So excited you are making time for yourself. I've been a mom now for three years to now two sweet babies. I love them so much and they are my whole world. I held on to them so tight that I have lost what I like for myself and it is so hard to get that back when you put it off for so long. Also as a mom of a child who didn't sleep well, brag (even tho it's sharing your experience, not bragging) all you want about your baby's sleep. Experiences come in all forms. Moms as a whole should be happy for each other not drag others down for having a good experience just because they found something hard. And who knows, if you have more kids you may end up sharing in the harder sleep experience. But hopefully not.

23:29 This 🫶 I’m so proud and hopeful to see you prioritizing yourself in the little ways that remind you of who you are. That’s my goal as well after I have my daughter here in a week or so that I don’t loose myself entirely. I saw a mom say that when they went to introduce themselves they said they’re “X” mom, and the caregiver responded with No, you’re Rachel, August’s mom. 🥹 They’re a huge part of your life but your still a person who deserves to be treated and appreciated too ❤️❤️
