Literally broke into tears when Mama Nilda spoke about her experience with Adrienne and how she had a revelation about Adrienne in a bed and not moving and god spoke to her, this episode makes me think about my daughters and how hard I am on them sometimes. Thank you for sharing this with us Claudette❤️❤️❤️
♥️🙏🏼♥️ thank you for sharing
@@claudeandco. ❤️❤️❤️
Awwwww thank you for this my daughter Jewelz is going through the same thing she’s in 2nd grade. All her teacher do is say she talks a lot and my daughter just don’t understand why she always mad at her.. Thank Mama Nilda
That part touched me too because I was also that talkative child in class 🙏🏿
God is good , i know in America they quickly put active children on medication, that not moving dream, God shows they will advised to put on medication or dim the light of this child and is the worst thing
“Do not break the spirit of that child.” I love that… I was an “Adrienne” and “Beau” growing up and my mom often said the same … something like there was a fine line to nurturing the will power I had versus correcting me and she didn’t want to ever break my will… I’m an attorney now… loud, proud and opinionated lol ❤️
I LOVE THIS!!! Thank you so much for sharing! ♥️
What beautiful thing she said about not breaking the child spirit. 👏 I'm the opposite really calm, reserve, don't express my feelings easily and my parents always reproached it that I dont speak much even though they taught me to be disciplined, discrete and to always listen so now I hate myself to be that way and I admire and love Adrienne and Beau personality !
I was a mix between Claude and Adrienne growing up.
@@aissam.2420 there’s beauty and strength in observing/taking it all in before quietly/subtly speaking. That’s a gift too … ❤️❤️❤️
@@arielelisa9012 Very sweet of you, thank you for theses words 🥰🥰
I love this channel ! Such a breath of fresh air ❤️ I hope to have a family as close as yours one day. God bless you
So sweet! Thank you so much for watching!
Same! 🥰
Nilda is an example of what happens when you dedicate your life and your children to Christ. Praise God for this families testimonie
Growing up my Nana would say "This life is ours. Just because we are poor doesn't mean that you have to grow up and be poor." She always encouraged me to branch out and do things. Somehow, we were able to go on vacation every year too. My mom and Nana would save up so we could get in the car and drive to FL, or Canada from NJ. To this day my brothers and sisters will talk about how we didn't know we were poor. We had a great childhood. I can totally relate to Claude and Adrienne's childhood memories.
Soooo beautiful!!! You were blessed to have a Nana and mom like that. ♥️🥲 thank you for sharing!
Mamma Nilda needs her own channel. Her advice is always so good. My heart is warm
The conversation with your mom is heart warming - she has such great wisdom. Truly a blessed family 💕
Thank you DeJanee! ♥️☺️
Mother Nilda is always so chic, love her style, it's classy yet comfy!
Right?!!! 😁☺️♥️🥰 thank youuuu
Yes, I LOVE her mom's style.She stylin!❤
Nilda's story is so raw and real. While I love and respect teachers, sometimes their criticism can really break a child and create a negative environment in the classroom. I felt like my interactions with teachers in my school was the start of my own self doubt (and I still carry/struggle with that as an adult). Kiddos to Nilda for supporting and sticking up for her child (I know that must have been hard). Kiddos to the entire family for letting the girls grow into their authentic selves. As a village you guys are doing a great job!
Not everyone can do this, but for those who can, I think it’s imperative that parents advocate for their children’s education. This includes talking to teachers, making sure they’re supporting your children and, if need be, removing your child from a toxic teacher’s classroom. It’s on us as guardians of the next generation to ensure they’re provided for and encouraged and supported to be the people they’re meant to be. As someone who prefers a docile child, I know it would be wrong to break a child’s spirit. God give me strength to be patient if I should end up with a very spirited and unruly child
♥️♥️♥️ thank you so much for sharing this!
Jett’s spirit is so pure… I can’t explain it. She’s quiet but quite powerful.
Claudette looks exactly like her mom when she was younger. I love the unity in this family its really beautiful
☺️♥️ thank you!
It’s so cute that you still call your mom “mommy” 🥺 I would love for my daughter to call me mommy no matter how old she is 🥰🤍💗
It’s almost as if it’s a bond that’s on another level. ✨ love it!
♥️♥️♥️ ☺️🙏🏼
I call my parents “mommy” and “daddy” and I’m 18! I’m a child at heart haha :)
I literally cried watching this whole video lol it’s so special when you have those moments with your family that you can cherish forever! OMG and the part when Ms Nilda spoke on how the teachers were trying to categorize Adrienne I can relate 100% 😭
♥️🙏🏼 thank you so much!
Baby Claude telling Papi Lindo “I’m right here” is such a mood. We see a little Beau in there with that sassiness🥰
🤣🤣🤣 ♥️♥️♥️ 💯
I'm obsessed with Nilda. She just seems like the dopest human. The thing she said about how she was so excited to have Claude. I feel that way about the little one my husband and I are trying for. Just obsessed.
Mama Nilda is mom goals! 🥰
She exudes the best energies. ❤️
Your mom’s vision of Adrienne made me really emotional. My niece is currently dealing with getting bullied at school because she loves art. I always shower her with love & celebrate her unique talents💜
The home footage is so precious 😩🥺❤️ Documenting memories is so important.
Thank you ♥️♥️… I agree 📹🎞 ☺️♥️🙏🏼
"you don't want to break that spirit" literally has me on the verge of tears as a woman in her late 20s. I was the spirited, electric, chatterbox, got all the questions child + my parents couldn't appreciate that. I often wonder who/how I would be if my innate way of being was nurtured. now I'm trying to honor that little girl + bring her to the forefront in many ways + let her know that it's okay to be her 🧡🙏🏽.
Don't know how I ran into your channel but glad I did. Bronx girl here, and i homeschooled my kiddos as well!
We are glad to have you. Please share w anyone you think might like it ❤️
We need more of Gerd's Trini Accent! Love from Trinidad and Tobago❤️
Next episode!! Share with all the trini friends and fam
@@gerdalexander897 Can't wait!
🇹🇹 Trinibago to de bone! 🇹🇹
When Gerd busted out that accent and started listing off the foods it just brought me back to my childhood! 🤣😂
Ha! ♥️♥️♥️ well get ready for this Wednesday… cause we are talking about his childhood ☺️!!!
Listening to mama Nilda speak about how discouraged she felt about that teacher focusing on the negative about her child is so relatable. Good for her for standing up for her baby and demanding some positivity. Reminds me of my relationship with my son.
Thank you Claude, Nilda and Adrienne for sharing those beautiful stories. It for sure makes me want to do the same with my sister and mother. Also like Gerd I am Trini and just hearing him say fry bake with salt fish takes me back to being a kid... I absolutely love this channel!
♥️🙏🏼 thank you!
🇹🇹 ♥️☺️
I'm from the Nature Island and we do bakes and codfish as well. It's the same saltfish we call codfish and sometimes if we run out of codfish we use smoked herring.
Mami Nilda is a gem on earth. So much beauty, humility and wisdom. Thanks to you and Adrienne for sharing your mom with us! Love you guys! ❤️ (I feel like I say this in every comment lol but I really do just love watching y’all so much)
Quanisha… I will never get tired of hearing that! Lol
I do not take it for granted…. I feel so blessed to know that this is resonating with you. 🙏🏼♥️🙏🏼
Your mother was rich in wisdom and abundant love. You’re so lucky.❤❤❤
I clicked so fast ❤️ Thank you Claude and Mama Nilda for sharing those stories!
Hope you enjoyed it!
The music that plays for the intro and outro makes me tear up every time. Such a heartwarming sound. Thank you for sharing your story ❤️
♥️♥️♥️ Same lol … it’s an amazing artist that made it for us. Isaia Huron. Check out his music. Beautiful music!
Thank you for sharing 🙏🏼♥️
Your childhood reminds me so much of what my grandparents helped to give me and my siblings. Didn't matter if we went to the Bronx zoo on a Wednesday bc it was free, or going to the park to jump around in the sprinklers; we had a blast! We're always reminiscing about them and the good times we had bc even though we didn't have all the money in the world, we managed to have each other and the best memories coming from it all. I smiled the entire time listening to you guys exchange stories. Thank you for sharing!
Thank you for sharing this! What beautiful memories! ♥️✨
Seeing you and A’ younger self is literally Jet and Beau . That’s so amazing to see wow
💯😆♥️ I can’t agree more! ☺️♥️
Love this family ❤️❤️ shout out to Gerd with dat bake an saltfish 👏🏾👏🏾💯🇹🇹
I cried watching you guys in the pool of flagship. I am hispanic and a New Yorker. I can say we had a similar upbringing, so seeing your family took me back to my childhood. You are so right in thanking your parents for the blessings, that as adults we realize weren't upscale, but damn did they try! And love is all that matters ♥️
My sister and I are one year apart and we are so incredibly close. We has been best friends since childhood (soulmates). We too didn’t grow up with much but our parents made sure we had the world. When you guys were talking about those vacations it made me tear up. Those memories meant the world to me. My little girl is growing up with so much more than what I had growing up and I pray that when she thinks back on her childhood one day that she smiles the way I do. Blessings and love to your beautiful family!
Beau LOOKS like Claude’s twin but definitely u see how she’s just like Adrienne 🥺🥰😂
These videos are so beautiful. I love “what if I farted right now” 😂 Feels like hanging out with family for real. Keep up the good work and may it be blessed.
🤣🤣🤣 😬 🤣🤣🤣
Thank you ♥️♥️♥️
I love the way you look at your mom when she is talking❤️
Love her ☺️♥️🙏🏼
I love this story from Mom Nilda. That is one great woman of faith right there!
♥️🙏🏼 she sure is ☺️
Thank you!
It’s always the pictures and videos at the end for me!! Normally I click off once someone says by but you can’t miss out on these gems. The inside inside scoop.
I love your channel Claude. I would love to watch videos on the following topics: The break you and your husband had, on the relationship you have with your two dads/ and with Adrienne, tips on marriage or life in general. Do you want more children / whats like to have a Family (I have no kids yet)...thank you
I cried, enjoying your mom’s testimony about what God reveled to her, 😭💕🙏🏽🙌🏽 beautiful! Her tears got to me.
I teared up a little when Mama Nilda spoke about Adrienne in school and making the best of you guys childhood within her means. I feel the same exact way, after my mom passed I was shredding checkbooks, miscellaneous documents and bills from the 90s and she budgeted everything even made little notes comparing the options for job/union insurance to get the very best coverage for all of us. My childhood was magical to me and my sister was like we didn't do this or that or it happened like xyz because she's 18 months older. I may forget all the ins and out of our lives then but I'll never forget how much love and attention my family, church and mom poured into me. I am a better person for their effort.
It doesnt take money to make memories!!! Wow seriously you guys are ministering to me. Ive lost alot since covid and I have been feeling like a horrible mom but this video has spoken to me and I'm so grateful..
I’m latina too (born and raised in DC!). Me and my family also used to go to VA beach and stay at a motel where the pool was in the parking lot 🤣😄 some of my best childhood memories though!!! Loveeeed this video, everything about it. Thank you for sharing! Besitos 😘😘
I see jet looks like her mother and beau is Ade. Just amazing
I love the transparency and the way you all share so candidly about your childhood memories. Your family shares the hardships along with the triumphs. I love that.
🎯
They are what I strive to be like as a mother. This family is so beautiful inside & out 🤍
Thank you sooo much ♥️♥️♥️
To see you & Ade as kids & how much your girls are the splitting image of you both is insane!! Literally jet is you & beau is Ade. This was such a beautiful conversation, love mama nilda so much!!! She’s so wise!
Thank you for sharing your childhood stories/photos/videos & beautiful family with us ❤️ I completely agree that “poor” can also be a state of mind. We grew up as “poor” African immigrants in The Bronx, in the 90s, but my life was so “RICH” in countless ways. So much respect & love to Mama Nilda for her intentionality as she raised her daughters. Con amor y besos ❤️😘
I love how Mom raised her two kids because even now they love the simple things and it just shows that money isn't everything even if you don't make much.. just make memories. I would love to hear some childhood stories with dad or with your husband and his side of the family.
When Adrienne said...listening to the hosanna integrity tapes! That was so my childhood too :)
I enjoyed this video so much! I had a similar childhood growing up Pentecostal, and I could relate to so many things you were reminiscing about. I love your mom so much. She is so wise and has such strong character and a beautiful personality!!!❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
For many of us UA-cam has replaced our tv series. Thanks for the consistency 👏🏾👏🏾
Man, with each episode this channel hits us with another amazing video. My mum used to tell us all about how we came into this world... She knew every detail.. Mums just know how to tell a story, unfortunately she's passed on but your video brought back my childhood. Your channel gets more and more amazing. God bless you always
Thank you sooo much for those words of encouragement ♥️♥️♥️
Omg I love these videos😭😭. We also grew up going to Virginia Beach on a dime and stayed at the Motor Inn, but to us it felt like luxury. Some of the best memories I have. Thank you for sharing this.
I was electric growing up and my parents constantly broke me down to fit my culture .. my both kids are very spirited not one of my kids are mellow and it’s not easy but hearing your mom gave me so much hope ! I will not break their spirit and I am homeschooling them so I’m trying to nurture them 🥰
Wow… ♥️ yea definitely not easy. But so worth it… there is a quote that says something like…Spirited children become adults who change the world as long as we can hang on for the ride and resist the temptation to “tame” the spirit out of them.
♥️♥️♥️
Thank you for sharing about not breaking our childrens spirit I have a Wild Child and sometimes it gives me alot of anxiety but your right!! I dont want to break that spirit
🙏🏼♥️🙏🏼…
Spirited children become adults who change the world as long as we can hang on for the ride and resist the temptation to “tame” the spirit out of them.
Ugh mami made me cry with her story on the revelation! Ugh my 4 year old son is sooo talkative and hyper. I struggle with trying to contain him. I needed this ❤️❤️❤️
I love watching your family, every time I watch I find myself daydreaming on how I wish I had such a bond like you do with your family. Unfortunately as an only girl with 4 brothers I did not have that girl bond. Now I am blessed with 2 beautiful daughters and I cry just being so thankful of the bond we have. Even though we bump heads sometimes but I would not change a thing, the bump is usually me because I do not know how to act like a girl lol. You are all awesome, Adrienne reminds me of my middle child lol.
Aww thank you for sharing this ♥️♥️♥️ many blessings to you and your family🙏🏼✨
And thanks again for tuning in 🥰
As a Virginia Beach native, I smiled from ear to ear hearing about your trips down here 🤗…this was such a beautiful video. Also, I know Gerd is the “co” and y’all have joked about that 😊 but maybe in the future we can hear about his culture and possibly have someone from his family share a meal or recipe with us. Love to all! ❤️ also, mama Nilda’s story about Adrienne as a child blessed and encouraged me to love my busy boy, my tremendous blessing just the way he is 💙😊
I love love love your channel Claude! It really gives me childhood home vibes. It reminds me of my family listening to you discuss your vacations and not really understanding as a kid the struggles your parents went through financially. When you grow up with so much love, you may not even notice how much you lack in other ways.
This was shot and edited so beautifully. I love how each episode ends with silent pictures or videos. Gorgeous.
There is something so special about this channel. I can’t describe it but I know I need these videos.
Beautiful. This is soooo much like my childhood growing up in Eastern Europe, is crazy how much more alike than different we are. I very much enjoyed watching this episode xx
♥️♥️♥️ thank you sooo much!
What a beautiful family. I just love watching you all. The warmth is felt through all your videos.
Amanda, thank you so much ♥️
Every episode I end up crying. This brings so much joy. The old videos reminded me of my childhood growing up with my Puerto Rican family. Everything so simple, but so significant at the same time. I love the connection with our families. El tenernos unos a los otros es más que suficiente. ❤️
“Everything so simple, but so significant at the same time!!” I LOVE THAT!!! 💯💯💯
The episodes with Moms and Parents are my favorites. Beautiful parents , loving family , so inspiring!
I don't know how yall are doing it but every single one of these episodes ends with me shedding tears of joy lol. Every. Single. One.
Claude I absolutely love this channel. I have two girls and they are complete opposite. My oldest is like Claudette and Jet. My youngest….. she is very much Adrienne. I pray they become as close as you guys🥰
This channel feels like a warm hug. Loved hearing you reminisce with the whole family ✨
☺️🤗🥰 thank youuuuu!
I LOVE me some bake & salt fish, Gerd! I first had it on a missions trip in Guyana in 2007. I’ve been hooked ever since. Your mom is just the sweetest, Claudette. She made me cry when she talked about her journey as a new mom. Such a model of strength and courage. 🤗🤗🤗🤗
Thank you so much ♥️🙏🏼
Oh and tomorrow’s episode I talk to Gerd’s mom and bake came up again lol 🤤 … while she was cooking some curry for us 🤤🤤🤤
Soooooo good!
@@claudeandco. ugh amazing! So jealous lol
In the world we live in it is so refreshing to see healthy family interaction. I learn so much from your family. Your love language is welcoming and inspiring. Keep up the amazing work! ♥️
OMG. I love this family even more than before. Didn’t think that was possible. Lol such a beautiful storytime. I’m always sad when it ends!
Ha! Thank you so much ♥️🙏🏼♥️
Your childhood sounds so similar to mine! We were struggling but mom would have a yard sale and we would go to the beach. I never knew we struggled either! We went camping too and it was a blast! The pool was ICE COLD mountain water too! We made it work. I felt spoiled as a child though we did have amazing grandparents that helped us and never felt a lack of love! God bless you all for sharing. I love you guys! You feel like family to me. Claudette is the same age as me! Beautiful precious family. ❤🥰❤🥰❤🥰❤🥰❤🥰❤🥰❤
❤️❤️❤️❤️
Absolutely beautiful stories! Your mother’s testimony brought me to tears🥺great family memories!
♥️🙏🏼♥️ thank you
As someone who lives very far away from their family, this video made me feel at home, thank you❤️
Wow… thank you for that beautiful compliment ♥️🙏🏼♥️
The most beautiful, pure, and wise family. We need more people like all of you in the world. Today was a rough day for me, and this video just brightened my day. My energy completely shifted into positivity, and for that I thank you.
That’s amazing
Love, just love. Thank you Nilda for sharing your stories and passing on some knowledge for the next generation. Your heart is golden. Claudette and Adrienne love your childhood memories..
This is is literally the most beautiful family. Part of me deeply saddened from not having a childhood like this but finds hope and healing from your videos. Thank you 🥰
Such a beautiful family! No matter how much money you have MAKE MEMORIES! It’s so important!
So refreshing and loving….. lets Go Claude &Co
Claude your channel is a breath of fresh air. The esthetic, the quality content is so refreshing.
This channel so far to me has been such a God send. It's a breath of fresh air to see you, your husband and family. Sharing real, pertinent information as well as being real in general. May his blessings continue to shine upon you guys. Love yall.
Thank you sooo much 🙏🏼♥️🙏🏼
That mom of theirs is such a Queen.
This show is evvveeeerrryyyything... In tears, inspired and sharing this❤️❤️❤️
I totally can relate to my family growing up with not a lot of money.. but never really realizing it. My mom (just like yours) made sure that her children weren’t deprived of anything. Our favorite go-to place was Coney Island. The memories made from my childhood, were comprised of the simplest things.. but the grandest with those I spent it with. Grateful ❤️🙏🏽
I can't say it enough 💝 Yall are an amazing family 👑
Thank you Brandy 🙏🏼♥️
You're welcome honey 🤗💝
What a Beautiful Story!! So Heartfelt! I admire the closeness of your family! Such a Blessing! My husband and I don’t have that with our families sadly. I Thank God he sent us to each-other! We have a Beautiful Marriage, and are intentional to Be different with our boys. God Bless you 💕💕
I knew I’d love Claude & Co. This episode was such a blessing to me. Thank you for sharing a piece of your family with us. God Bless!
I just learnt some parenting gems for Mama Nilda❤️❤️❤️
Two things stood out for me: (1) God gave her wisdom how to deal with Adrienne's personality in the best way and (2) you really don't need a bunch of money to create experiences for your children
Thanks Claud and Co for sharing these gems with us
I love love love this segment - listening to yall acknowledge that your moms sacrifices and how much you appreciated those memories was beautiful. I try so hard to give my kids those types of memories even tho I don't always have the $$ to make it work. I hope my kids can do this when these conversations when they are older because this was EVERYTHING!
Wow that story about AD gave me chills. Man! When the lord speaks ! It’s so profound. Love you ladies. Blessings. ❤️
Lovely video down memory lane! It also made me realize that kitchens are the heart and soul of a family 😂 some of my favorite memories with my sister and mom and now nieces have been in the kitchen. Thank you for this beautiful gift of love and appreciation for our parents who gave their all to see us happy!
Familia 🤍
Wow it’s hard to put into words what it feels like watching a truly healthy family. It blessed my soul🤍 thanks for letting us in Claude.😘🙏🏽
This channel already fills my soul to the brim… and we’re only 7 episodes in ✨
Omgoodness thank you so much ☺️🙏🏼♥️
Yes same for me ! 🥰👍
Wow....this made me cry! I'm typing my comment as I watch so I'll be randomly commenting. My older sister was you and I was A growing up. My report cards were like, oh she's great BUT she talks too much. The funny thing was that my daughter was the same exact way when she was little.
So funny how much you look like your mom and A resembles Papi Lindo.
Loved everything about this! I was the first generation who went to college and moved up to better neighborhoods, and created memories for my daughter like your mom did for you and Adrienne. Much greater things will our kids do :) Your mom is bomb! and I LOVE sorullos but guanimos con bacalao are my absolutely favorite dish that my mom still makes for me every birthday. Our generation needs to learn more the old school spanish recipes so our culture doesn't get lost with our kids.
This video speaks to me so hard. When I was growing up my dad's boss would book a vacation home for his whole workforce, book one job during that time and allow them to bring their families. We would drive to NH, or Vermont pack sandwiches and snacks for the ride and do compra to cook meals at the house. My mom would let my brother and I mix cereals for breakfast and my brother and I were like "This is such an extravagance". My favorite vacation memories are sharing the New Hampshire house with everyone, catching daddy long legs for the frog we found and playing with the boss' dog Bob. 🥰🥰🥰
Omg that is soooo beautiful 🥲♥️
Thank you for sharing this!!!!
I really loved this
I love your family
You have so much great advice !!!
Thank you for sharing
I loved the advice your mom gave for when she raised Adrienne
I have a 3 year old and she seems so much like Adrienne
And I loved the way your mom figured out how to parent her
Both of you
And the part where you said
You got so much attention at home
You didn’t need to go
Looking for it
Such great advice for parents
Such a beautiful episode. 💕
Thank you so much!
I’ve literally fallen in love with this entire family. The in-laws, the in-laws’ in-laws, the parents, the kids, the siblings, spouses-so beautiful and so blessed
I loved the guys participating too.Very nice channel Claudette.
