Thank you and so much truth in this chat!!!! I feel whole lotta better now.. I oo struggle w being a working mum of two 🤦🏽♀️🤦🏽♀️ I always say it to ppl but ur right gotta own the BOSS MUM title! They’re fed and clothed and clean even when I’m not lol that’s amazing
I attended a work leadership retreat and one takeaway was to spin your words. Instead of "I'm so busy" "I'm swamped" say "I've been productive today" changes your perspective and those you are talking to.
I just love Landon. From him telling you you look like a princess to him telling you he doesn't like your hair like that he is very aware of you such a sweet baby boy.
You do such an amazing job! Since I returned to work, my hubby gets the kids dressed and takes them to care. They are fed breakfast at care and I pack their bags the night before so all hubby has to do is dress them. I leave home early to commute into the city - up to an hour trip most days. When hubby travels for work I’m often able to work from home, but those are definitely full on days! I get them all ready and do drop off and pickup, and evening routine by myself most nights 💗
You ARE a boss mom! You inspire me and challenge me to be a better mom, wife and woman. When I'm feeling like slacking, I watch your cleaning videos and feel like I can clean happily and faster. This video just gave me motivation to wake up and put some make-up on, make my bed and dress...even if I'm just staying in. So thank you!
I am a kindergarten teacher and I am currently in grad school. I seriously watch your videos to give me motivation to keep going and to stay organized! Thanks so much for posting!
Yeah I never think of you as a hot mess. I think you are really amazing and organized for all you get done. You really set the bar high for others watching.
I agree with previous posters you definitely are not a hot mess...You are a MARATHON mama!! You really motivate me to be productive and happy as a working Mama. I work from home once a week but the rest of the week is in the office. It gets incredibly draining being rushed every morning. You inspire me to make more of the mornings even if it means to sacrifice sleep!
This video reminds me of when I had kids this age. I had to haul them to daycare everyday though and race to my job in another town though. It was tough, but we survived. Working from home sounds like a dream. My 2nd child pushed her limits too. We just stayed consistent with stressing “no” and moving her away from what we told her to stay away from. As she was older, we used time outs a lot. She almost thrived on discipline, knowing her limits and the structure of having consequences for her actions if she misbehaved. Good luck. I don’t know where you find the time to post so many videos. Kudos to you. Your kids are adorable.
My husband & I get up at 4am (he's in the logging industry) right now, it'll be earlier when he gets back to his normal job as a timber faller. We have two little girls (4 & 2.5) and my oldest is a "hit-the-ground-running" kind of kid! We also live off-grid, so it takes a bit more work everyday to get things done. (We run a generator for power, etc). I don't work a "job" but kudos to all you boss moms out there that do!!
I'm so glad you have your village too, so we can all experience your life with you! My girls want a baby brother, I'm trying to imagine adding a newborn into the mix..I'd have 6 if God allows, but eek, sounds hectic! 😆
Hi! I’m a working mom who takes her 22 month old to a full time office job everyday! This is so refreshing to see! Idk how you keep up girlfriend. I struggle so hard keeping up with everything around home on top of work, dinner, bath time, etc! You are an inspiration. 💕
You are such an inspiration to me! I'm a stay at home momma of three. I have a 9 year old, a 7 year old and a 6 month old. I love watching your videos it gives me that extra push to keep going and keep smiling!! Your babies are precious and they are so blessed to have such a compassionate momma!!
You are such a inspiration to other moms out there. You are showing woman how they can balance their careers and being a phenomenal mother, and wife. 💕
That app makes it so much easier, with both my boys I tracked everything on paper everyday. Still have it all too. Morning are so fun they are full of energy!
Thank you so much for this chat, I feel so depressed sometimes, I have 3 girls (6, 3 and 4 months old) I work 3 days a week, I’m breastfeeding my youngest one too, between church stuff, home stuff and work I feel anxious and without energy, being a mom is hard😩 and I know I chose to have my kids still so hard to raised them. You gave me some good tips and hope, I am not alone, God and a lot of moms are with me 🤗🤗🤗
Love your videos!! My two year old son basically laughs at me when I say no! You aren’t alone! I was thinking maybe it was a boy thing but sounds like just different from child to child. You are a superstar mom with all you accomplish even before you start your work day!
Bri you are Never a hot mess. You have your **** together. Your kids are the happiest I have ever seen in the morning. You are so lucky to have a Good close by. That is a blessing. Thanks for all you do for us on u tube. You are so great. ♥️♥️♥️
You are so right , mommy of three here working from home too and I feel the same !.. Spending all day focusing on other people is just very tiring. It is a privilege to be a mother and a joy to sacrifice, but the effects do accumulate. You are a amazing mommy 😘
I just love watching your videos, I tend to rely on UA-cam videos for motivation and you are one of my favorite moms that I can relate to because our lives are similar and I am a work from home wife/momma too so watching videos especially like this helps me get my mornings started more productively. Thank you 😊
Yes, I am in awe of what all the working moms and dads do! I have a hard enough time getting things done and I am a sahm. I do all the housework and yardwork, my husband works all day, travels for work, then comes home and does any computer repair, car repair, handyperson work (unfortunately I am not handy!). Boss Dad describes him perfectly!
Love this video!!! Not sure if you’re still doing any more Q and A’s, but i’d love to know your thoughts on being a working person and dealing with issues with coworkers, and how you’ve handled it in the past. Again, love the video and can’t wait to see more.
Love this video! You're right about giving ourselves more credit in the morning! I work part time so I really appreciate your videos. There's so many stay at home moms who are you tubers and I have a hard time identifying with them sometimes bc I don't have all the time they do since I do still work.
Hi Bri, my daughter never responded to 'No' either. I started saying, 'stop, and listen' and then explained why she wasn't allowed to do what she was doing. It may not help every time. I must say i look up to you. I am a sahm, with a bachelor degree. I want to do something from home. Unfortunately in my country that isn't really possible. Thank God for GIGI. God bless you
Thanks for the little pep talk! I’m most likely returning to work full time in the next few weeks (currently work 3 days/week) since having my daughter one year ago and I’ve been feeling anxious. This gives me hope that I can still get in quality time and get things done :)
That was so cute when Landon told you he liked your hair down ☺️ I am a working mom of a 4 year old boy and 8 month baby girl and thanks for the motivational message at the end of your video ❤️ your hugs and kisses when your kids left was so sweet too!
I loved your talk about being a boss mom, it is not easy! So much energy, so much work! You just pumped me up! I’ve been having a rough week, and that just really resonated with me, thank you Brianna!❤️😘
Hey Brianna.. I am so glad I found a youtuber like you. And I am happy that I got pregnant after I started following you. Now that I know how to raise a child and still have successful career n how to balance it all and still be strong physically n emotionally. I don’t know if u read this comment but just felt like letting it out 😊
I am so impressed with everything you do, Bri! I grew up in a house where my mom stayed home until we were older so I don’t know a whole lot about working and taking care of a household. But you give me a fresh perspective on something different. You make it look easy!! I’ve been following for over a year and I ❤️ your channel. Hugs from Seattle!
Hi! Mom of 2 here..my girls are 7 yrs apart. My oldest..she was/is a good kid. She listened/listens, never was or got notes from school sent home, tell her 1 time and she’s good. My second ...sheesh! I tell her no. She says why? Or looks st me
I loved this video. Good job getting every thing done. It's hard. My eldest is 23 and my youngest is nearly 13 so I've been getting up like this for 18 years putting kids to school ect, then going to work. It is difficult because then the older they get , the more work you can do but you still have to get everyone up and organised every morning and then organise meals laundry whatever. And my husband tries to help but to be honest it's easier if I delegate what I want him to do then do the rest myself, then I know it will get done. OCD is big-time in my house when I'm in charge😊. As for potty training, I never did it with any of my 3, sure in the day I asked if they needed the bathroom and they usually went but I didn't stress, I just kept lots of spare underwear. And used a pull up etc during night or nap until they were dry themselves, they were all around aged 3 when they were dry all night. I just noticed they were dry then after a week or so of dry, I put them to bed with a waterproof pad below them. I didn't have any trouble at all xxx
im so glad i subscribed to your channel. this video really is my favorite. im a stay at home mom of two handsome boys. im still adjusting to being a mom of two. as well as being a stay at home mom in general. i havent yet figured out a routine. im hoping your videos inspire me.
I “kid” is 25 😊 so I have no idea why I subscribe to your channel 😊 but there is something about your voice and your videos that calms me. You are a boss mom. Love all your videos, now I am inspired to go clean 😂
Bri, your videos honestly leave me feeling so empowered and inspired as a Mom! I always love getting your notifications because I know watching any of your videos will give me a little boost of motivation and encouragement to be a boss mom! XO
With my daughter we did sign language at an early age. When she would get into cabinets we would show the sign "stop" and also say "stop." Signs really helped us. Hope this help!
Hi Brianna. Just had to say- I am the same age as you, but I don’t have kids yet. From what I see, you are doing a great job balancing it all. Great career, kids are happy, not to mention- you look great! I think like you said, moms can be so hard on themselves and don’t give themselves enough credit. Cut yourself some slack. I think one day we’ll all look back and realize sooo many things in life don’t matter that much. What matters is spending time with our family and friends and being happy in life as much as we can :)

I love your #bossmom videos! Such an inspiration. I love to see how you staty healthy during a work trip, how you plan/manage your career, what’s your working mom essantials are and how you balance work/life. Thanks for all the great videos! 💕
You are such an amazing mommy Brianna! I have a 2 month old and I love watching your videos when I have downtime.❤️ you inspire me to be a better mommy and wife😊
I can't stop commenting on this video 😂 but the goodbye was the SWEETEST thing Landon is so cute and P's little giggle warmed my heart. You are such a boss mama! 😍
I’m expecting my second this fall and love watching your videos because my kids will be about the same age difference as Landon and Presley and from the outside looking in, you are a total boss mom!! 😊
I think it would be cool for you to do a draw my life video, I have seen them before and they are basically a drawing summary of big things that have happened in your life.
My daughter took a bit with nighttime too. The best advice I had received (and will give to you too) is that she did not drink anything 1 hour before bed and go potty right before bed. And, as soon as she started to stir in the morning, I would guide her (half-sleeping) to the bathroom to get her to at least sit even if she didn't do anything I still praised her for trying to go as soon as she was up. The more you do this routine the better and he'll catch on - patience is key as you know momma!
I just started going back to work and I look up to you so much! You are doing a fantastic job balancing everything that you do! Such an amazing mamma! xo
My little girl did the same thing Presley is doing with the cabinets! She literally didn’t even care about toys... she just walked around, getting into the cabinets! 🙄 We finally had to put those cabinet guards (the ones where you open the cabinet & it’ll open a tad bit but then not go any further till you unlock it). I thought they were going to be annoying but I just put them on my cabinets with cleaner & medicine. Worked like a charm! She finally realized she couldn’t open them & has never tried again 😂
Same! I thought they would be really annoying, but we didn't need that many up and she learned right away as opposed to laughing everytime I told her no.
Brianna will you please make a laundry routine video! I'm about to be a momma of 2 in a few short months and I need inspiration on laundry organization. Help! 💗
Love Love Love- Watching all of your routine videos! I can rewatch them over and over again. I'm a working mom also- my only struggle is I'm not working a job/career I love. But I am working on getting there!
What a good boy! Our daughter is 2 years 8 months and is completely day trained but we do still do a night time diaper for naps and night. She’s still in her crib, once she moves into her big girl bed (probably for her 3rd birthday in September and before her baby brother arrives in November!) we will work on night training. That way she is more comfortable getting her own pants and undies down and getting onto the toilet by herself, so she will feel empowered to get up out of bed. We plan to leave our door open so she can grab one of us to help though in the middle of the night. It’s totally normal for night training to take longer some kiddos can even be around 4 or 5 when they finally get the hang of it! He’s doing awesome 😍
I had to laugh about not understanding "no". Once when my brother and his family were visiting, they noticed the covers over the door handles. My brother asked what that was for (his kids are about the same age as mine). I told him so my daughters wouldn't open the door and go down the stairs. He asked why I didn't just tell them "no"! Haha, his son and daughter understood no. I have three girls, so we had to take every safety precaution because my girls would climb up the pantry, climb on the table, open the doors, etc.! Life of a girls mom is always an adventure! Love your videos!
I feel like I’m always a hot mess mom! I work full time away from home M-F, 8am-5pm with every 3rd Friday afternoon off. I always feel like I don’t see my girls enough. I always feel guilty. But I have to work. That’s what works for our family. I feel like there aren’t enough hours in the day to get everything done. Then on weekends I wanna spend as much time as possible with my girls. I don’t want to clean, but it needs to be done, because normally I’ve neglected it during the week since I’m so tired!! Ugh the struggle is real😟
YOUR PANTRY! I just found your channel and loved watching your morning routine and I’m literally obsessed with how organized it is! I know it’s such a random part of your video but I’m so motivated to organize mine! Do you have a video on how you did?
Hi Brianna, I would love if you did a video about your job....particularly how you were able to transition to a job that let’s you work from home full-time. Working from home is a goal of mine, but I am not sure how to get there. Thanks!!
I agree that culturally at work not enough regard is paid to being a parent. As a former serious runner and marathoner I’ve had a lot of people ask me about my racing and I say “Being a Mom is my new endurance sort” ;) I personally get up at 4am to workout but took racing off my priorities because it was making me stressed. Now I workout to enjoy it and for health benefits and then get on with my mom and work life. Being a Mom is the best thing ever! :)
Usually I'm not this crazy but being 28 weeks pregnant and having a 5 and 4 year old boys to entertain all day can be rough but watching this helped me this morning. Thanks mama! You are a boss mom and so inspiring! 💖
Love your Day in a life and morning/evening routine! Learnt quite a few tips! Continue to film awesome content! I have to commute for work and am not able to have breakfast with the little one each day. How i wish i can work from home too!
OK I need that bracelet! And I know you live in Ohio! I just moved back to Ohio, after living in Florida for 10 years & I just love the sound of the birds in the morning!When you showed your backyard and you could hear the birds, it just reminds me of how much I really missed that morning summer sound 🐦 ☀️
Your family is beautiful! To help young children learn limits and boundaries it’s important to use positive language and provide other activities as an alternative. At such a young age, children do not understand the concept of “no” and so it helps to use language such as “keep the cupboards closed” or with younger children it’s better to just simply say “close” and close the cupboard. They will learn after a short time since this is language they can understand and apply. In addition, provide activities where she can open and close something (like a book with interactive parts, or a toy with doors on it) so she can enjoy that instead. :)
I love you so much! I feel so inspired after watching this video. I'm struggling to adjust being a Mommy of 2. My boy is 2 and my daughter is almost 4 months. Anyway, thanks for the tips and the motivation! ❤ God bless! 😘
Both of my boys struggle with hearing no😔 what works for me is saying "we don't do that, we do _________ instead." I show them how to be a big helper and close the cupboard door and I make a huge deal out how helpful they are. I mean huge deal. Jumping up and down with them, clapping, telling daddy or grandparents how helpful they are etc. The focus is on helping and not what they shouldn't do. When I'm carrying them in the kitchen or whatever room we are in I tell them about dangerous things and what we don't do. It's working for me so I hope it helps. Sending love to you and your family❤️
i see so many mommy's wake up before everyone else and making their bed first thing in the morning, are all of those husbands and boyfriends already at work by 6am?
Hey girl!! So for opening drawers- my psychology teacher said that instead of telling them “no” tell them what you’re going to do. For example “we don’t open those” rather than “no, don’t open them!” That will help avoid the so-called ‘terrible twos’ because they know more than the word no. Hope this helps!!
I don’t think you are a hot mess mom at all! You are amazing!! I’m a teacher and mom of 2 little ones, 5 year old and 1 year old boys. Maybe you could do a video on tips for adjusting to two kids. I feel like I’m still adjusting and my little one is a year old! It’s a crazy hard job and you are wonderful!
🚫hot mess mom- ❤️marathon momma!!
Thank you and so much truth in this chat!!!! I feel whole lotta better now.. I oo struggle w being a working mum of two 🤦🏽♀️🤦🏽♀️ I always say it to ppl but ur right gotta own the BOSS MUM title! They’re fed and clothed and clean even when I’m not lol that’s amazing

I just love Landon. From him telling you you look like a princess to him telling you he doesn't like your hair like that he is very aware of you such a sweet baby boy.
You do such an amazing job! Since I returned to work, my hubby gets the kids dressed and takes them to care. They are fed breakfast at care and I pack their bags the night before so all hubby has to do is dress them. I leave home early to commute into the city - up to an hour trip most days.
When hubby travels for work I’m often able to work from home, but those are definitely full on days! I get them all ready and do drop off and pickup, and evening routine by myself most nights 💗
So sweet!! You are an amazing mom. When my kiddos were younger (they are 4 & 6 now), I was barely surviving it felt like. You’re inspirational!!!
You ARE a boss mom! You inspire me and challenge me to be a better mom, wife and woman. When I'm feeling like slacking, I watch your cleaning videos and feel like I can clean happily and faster. This video just gave me motivation to wake up and put some make-up on, make my bed and dress...even if I'm just staying in. So thank you!
"Good Morning!" "I pooped." Definition of mom life lol.
So inspirational, I need to work on waking up earlier to have some me time before my toddler wakes up!
I am a kindergarten teacher and I am currently in grad school. I seriously watch your videos to give me motivation to keep going and to stay organized! Thanks so much for posting!
Yeah I never think of you as a hot mess. I think you are really amazing and organized for all you get done. You really set the bar high for others watching.
I agree with previous posters you definitely are not a hot mess...You are a MARATHON mama!! You really motivate me to be productive and happy as a working Mama. I work from home once a week but the rest of the week is in the office. It gets incredibly draining being rushed every morning.

You are SO NOT a “hot mess mom!” I can relate so much to your mornings-I have a son (3.5 y), daughter (9 mos), and I work from home! 💗
“Still asleep” 2 words I hope I can say one day 😂🤦🏻♀️
Needed that boss Mom pep talk today. Thank you, Bri 😊
Well said, I’m a work from home mom too and we do a lot! I definitely need to give myself more credit, I have one school aged and another under one.
Hi! I’m a working mom who takes her 22 month old to a full time office job everyday! This is so refreshing to see! Idk how you keep up girlfriend. I struggle so hard keeping up with everything around home on top of work, dinner, bath time, etc! You are an inspiration. 💕
My favorite moment from any of your videos (there are many...) is on Easter when Landon's eyes lit up and then he said you looked like a princess.
You are such an inspiration to me! I'm a stay at home momma of three. I have a 9 year old, a 7 year old and a 6 month old. I love watching your videos it gives me that extra push to keep going and keep smiling!! Your babies are precious and they are so blessed to have such a compassionate momma!!
I hope to be a mom like you. You’ve given me so much inspiration! We will be trying soon and you are seriously goals!!
You are such a inspiration to other moms out there. You are showing woman how they can balance their careers and being a phenomenal mother, and wife. 💕
That app makes it so much easier, with both my boys I tracked everything on paper everyday. Still have it all too. Morning are so fun they are full of energy!
You are the best mama!!
Thank you so much for this chat, I feel so depressed sometimes, I have 3 girls (6, 3 and 4 months old) I work 3 days a week, I’m breastfeeding my youngest one too, between church stuff, home stuff and work I feel anxious and without energy, being a mom is hard😩 and I know I chose to have my kids still so hard to raised them.

I would love a video sharing what the kiddos get up to at Gigis house during the day!
Your office is amazing! That’s so great that your grandma watches both kids. My mom can barely watch one 😬👵
You are seriously the best at sales! Everything you promote on here I am almost purchasing before you even finish talking about it!
Love your videos!! My two year old son basically laughs at me when I say no! You aren’t alone! I was thinking maybe it was a boy thing but sounds like just different from child to child. You are a superstar mom with all you accomplish even before you start your work day!

k8ilynn I was thinking the same thing! I’m a hot mess express without kids! Lol

Omg Landon telling you how he likes your hair is absolutely adorable! Your kids are beautiful!

I love the Mum look you gave to Landon at breakfast lol your babies are so cute! Love all of your videos.
rubber bands around the handles on double doors worked for us...it wasn't damaging to door and easy to remove if we needed

Hi Brianna. Just had to say- I am the same age as you, but I don’t have kids yet. From what I see, you are doing a great job balancing it all. Great career, kids are happy, not to mention- you look great! I think like you said, moms can be so hard on themselves and don’t give themselves enough credit. Cut yourself some slack. I think one day we’ll all look back and realize sooo many things in life don’t matter that much. What matters is spending time with our family and friends and being happy in life as much as we can :)
I love your #bossmom videos! Such an inspiration. I love to see how you staty healthy during a work trip, how you plan/manage your career, what’s your working mom essantials are and how you balance work/life. Thanks for all the great videos! 💕
You are such an amazing mommy Brianna! I have a 2 month old and I love watching your videos when I have downtime.❤️ you inspire me to be a better mommy and wife😊
That is just the motivation I needed to get through this morning thank you! ❤️
I’ve been watching you for a while and hadn’t noticed I never subscribed. I love your channel 💕 always so positive. Love your family 😭
I work 3rd watch (night shift) so I'm dead asleep when my 7 month old wakes up...it must be awesome to get some "me time" in the morning!
I can't stop commenting on this video 😂 but the goodbye was the SWEETEST thing Landon is so cute and P's little giggle warmed my heart. You are such a boss mama! 😍
I’m expecting my second this fall and love watching your videos because my kids will be about the same age difference as Landon and Presley and from the outside looking in, you are a total boss mom!! 😊
I was procrastinating doing my dishes. This gave me motivation. Here I go. 🙂
I think it would be cool for you to do a draw my life video, I have seen them before and they are basically a drawing summary of big things that have happened in your life.
Your backyard is beautiful and your kid are so cute! That's awesome they love brushing their teeth 💖
My daughter took a bit with nighttime too. The best advice I had received (and will give to you too) is that she did not drink anything 1 hour before bed and go potty right before bed. And, as soon as she started to stir in the morning, I would guide her (half-sleeping) to the bathroom to get her to at least sit even if she didn't do anything I still praised her for trying to go as soon as she was up. The more you do this routine the better and he'll catch on - patience is key as you know momma!
Great video! My toddler son has a ton of opinions on my hair too. He likes it down rather then up. Lol nice to see it wasn’t just me. ❤️
I just started going back to work and I look up to you so much! You are doing a fantastic job balancing everything that you do! Such an amazing mamma! xo
YAY LOVE YOU GUYS!
My little girl did the same thing Presley is doing with the cabinets! She literally didn’t even care about toys... she just walked around, getting into the cabinets! 🙄 We finally had to put those cabinet guards (the ones where you open the cabinet & it’ll open a tad bit but then not go any further till you unlock it). I thought they were going to be annoying but I just put them on my cabinets with cleaner & medicine. Worked like a charm! She finally realized she couldn’t open them & has never tried again 😂
Same! I thought they would be really annoying, but we didn't need that many up and she learned right away as opposed to laughing everytime I told her no.
Love your channel!! Just curious what kind of job do you have where you can work from home? Keep up the awesome work you are such an inspiration 💕
Brianna will you please make a laundry routine video! I'm about to be a momma of 2 in a few short months and I need inspiration on laundry organization. Help! 💗
Love Love Love- Watching all of your routine videos! I can rewatch them over and over again. I'm a working mom also- my only struggle is I'm not working a job/career I love. But I am working on getting there!
What a good boy! Our daughter is 2 years 8 months and is completely day trained but we do still do a night time diaper for naps and night. She’s still in her crib, once she moves into her big girl bed (probably for her 3rd birthday in September and before her baby brother arrives in November!) we will work on night training. That way she is more comfortable getting her own pants and undies down and getting onto the toilet by herself, so she will feel empowered to get up out of bed. We plan to leave our door open so she can grab one of us to help though in the middle of the night. It’s totally normal for night training to take longer some kiddos can even be around 4 or 5 when they finally get the hang of it! He’s doing awesome 😍
Thanks for sharing!! I have never seen that Ava bracelet I’m gonna check that out!!
Let’s pray for these Cavs tonight!!
I had to laugh about not understanding "no". Once when my brother and his family were visiting, they noticed the covers over the door handles. My brother asked what that was for (his kids are about the same age as mine). I told him so my daughters wouldn't open the door and go down the stairs. He asked why I didn't just tell them "no"! Haha, his son and daughter understood no. I have three girls, so we had to take every safety precaution because my girls would climb up the pantry, climb on the table, open the doors, etc.! Life of a girls mom is always an adventure! Love your videos!
I feel like I’m always a hot mess mom! I work full time away from home M-F, 8am-5pm with every 3rd Friday afternoon off. I always feel like I don’t see my girls enough. I always feel guilty. But I have to work. That’s what works for our family. I feel like there aren’t enough hours in the day to get everything done. Then on weekends I wanna spend as much time as possible with my girls. I don’t want to clean, but it needs to be done, because normally I’ve neglected it during the week since I’m so tired!! Ugh the struggle is real😟
I wish my two woke up so happy! I have little morning grumps haha. Also get Landon on the Cavs! He could be the help Lebron needs.
YOUR PANTRY! I just found your channel and loved watching your morning routine and I’m literally obsessed with how organized it is! I know it’s such a random part of your video but I’m so motivated to organize mine! Do you have a video on how you did?
You are an amazing momma! Love seeing your kids. Great video. 😊
Hi Brianna,
I would love if you did a video about your job....particularly how you were able to transition to a job that let’s you work from home full-time. Working from home is a goal of mine, but I am not sure how to get there. Thanks!!
I agree that culturally at work not enough regard is paid to being a parent. As a former serious runner and marathoner I’ve had a lot of people ask me about my racing and I say “Being a Mom is my new endurance sort” ;) I personally get up at 4am to workout but took racing off my priorities because it was making me stressed. Now I workout to enjoy it and for health benefits and then get on with my mom and work life. Being a Mom is the best thing ever! :)
i've been gone for 2 weeks without much access to my phone and i'm so happy i get to catch up on all of your videos 😍
You put such a pep in my step and help me to be sweeter to my kids and less of a monster mom lol. I love your sweet personality and positivity ❤💕
Usually I'm not this crazy but being 28 weeks pregnant and having a 5 and 4 year old boys to entertain all day can be rough but watching this helped me this morning. Thanks mama! You are a boss mom and so inspiring! 💖
Love your routine videos, it always motivates me and inspire me.
Love your Day in a life and morning/evening routine! Learnt quite a few tips! Continue to film awesome content! I have to commute for work and am not able to have breakfast with the little one each day. How i wish i can work from home too!
Such a beautiful family! Your doing such a great job! Thanks for sharing!
OK I need that bracelet!
And I know you live in Ohio! I just moved back to Ohio, after living in Florida for 10 years & I just love the sound of the birds in the morning!When you showed your backyard and you could hear the birds, it just reminds me of how much I really missed that morning summer sound 🐦 ☀️
P reminds me so much of my young toddler! Same smile and giggles!
Your family is beautiful! To help young children learn limits and boundaries it’s important to use positive language and provide other activities as an alternative. At such a young age, children do not understand the concept of “no” and so it helps to use language such as “keep the cupboards closed” or with younger children it’s better to just simply say “close” and close the cupboard. They will learn after a short time since this is language they can understand and apply. In addition, provide activities where she can open and close something (like a book with interactive parts, or a toy with doors on it) so she can enjoy that instead. :)
I love you so much! I feel so inspired after watching this video. I'm struggling to adjust being a Mommy of 2. My boy is 2 and my daughter is almost 4 months. Anyway, thanks for the tips and the motivation! ❤ God bless! 😘
Both of my boys struggle with hearing no😔 what works for me is saying "we don't do that, we do _________ instead." I show them how to be a big helper and close the cupboard door and I make a huge deal out how helpful they are. I mean huge deal. Jumping up and down with them, clapping, telling daddy or grandparents how helpful they are etc. The focus is on helping and not what they shouldn't do. When I'm carrying them in the kitchen or whatever room we are in I tell them about dangerous things and what we don't do. It's working for me so I hope it helps. Sending love to you and your family❤️
Love your videos Brianna! You are a great mom & an amazing woman! Very inspiring 🌹
Have a beautiful day 💖
i see so many mommy's wake up before everyone else and making their bed first thing in the morning, are all of those husbands and boyfriends already at work by 6am?
I love you and you are a great mom!
Hi bri thanks for sharing .I can't wait to be a mom. Your videos will be very helpful to me. Your kids are so sweet
Hey girl!! So for opening drawers- my psychology teacher said that instead of telling them “no” tell them what you’re going to do. For example “we don’t open those” rather than “no, don’t open them!” That will help avoid the so-called ‘terrible twos’ because they know more than the word no. Hope this helps!!
Im watching your coffee cup open sitting on the coffee table in awe. My daughter, same age as P, would be wearing that coffee in 3 seconds flat!
I don’t think you are a hot mess mom at all! You are amazing!! I’m a teacher and mom of 2 little ones, 5 year old and 1 year old boys. Maybe you could do a video on tips for adjusting to two kids. I feel like I’m still adjusting and my little one is a year old! It’s a crazy hard job and you are wonderful!
