    You do not need to apologize girl! If we’re here it’s because we’re all moms and we know life happens. We understand everything!! I’m glad Cruz is okay and I’m so happy you and your family had an amazing time in your road trip. I don’t have any topic ideas but a day of home schooling would be a great video!! I’m glad everyone is okay and we have missed you! ♥️

    When my kids were little they went to a school that used the Beka curriculum. When my son was in the middle of second grade life happened and he had to change to public school. He went from learning how to spell miscellaneous (I remember because I had to make up a little sing-song rhythm to help him learn it) to learning to spell “crib” in public school

    So happy to see you back. That looked like an amazing family vacation you all had. You look rested and refreshed. Look forward to seeing you grow more with both cloth and home schooling. Don't even apologize for taking "me" time. And your videos are perfect the way they are, don't over think it or compare yourself to anyone.

    I am actually relieved, that you took a break. You are just a human who has 24h a day like everyone else. All the time that i followed the channel i was wondering how you manage all these jobs. And i somehow felt sorry for you for beeing so rushed from all your tasks.please take care of yourself. Cause only if you are healthy and strong you can take the best care of your lovedones. Sending love and peace from Germany.

    Can I just say that I am OVER THR MOON that you are adding home school content to this page. Even before the world turned upside, I wanted to homeschool my babies. I found you when I was pregnant with my first baby, and now he will be starting school next year. Your channel has literally grown with my family. When I needed cloth diaper info, BOOM there you were. When I am looking for homeschool content, BOOM you are becoming that too. I would love to have videos covering the curriculum you use, and why you picked it. May biggest fear is how on earth you teach a child to read. I would LOVE as much info on that as possible. Also, I live in Northern Cali and haven’t taken my kids to the Redwoods, now it’s on my list of things to do.

    • @jessisblessed6689

      Definitely Definitely Definitely take them! It is one of the most amazing places I've ever experienced in my life! They will never forget it if you take them!!!
      And I love that my channel has grown with your family! I was honestly thinking that when I was feeling driven to make Homeschooling videos, I was thinking that a lot of the families that had Cloth diapered babies are probably approaching school age now and many families may be interested in, or wanting to Homeschool! I'm so excited to share anything and everything with you all!!!! It's awesome to hear feedback about that very thought!
      Thank you so much for watching and commenting!!!!

    I’m actually a new subscriber because of your cloth pad tutorials! I was just showing “the gusher” to my oldest and looked for your shop. 🤷🏻‍♀️😊 We all have seasons in life. Unfortunately mine is diaper free and as of this new school year we are in private Christian school. We needed a break too and totally understand where you are coming from. My almost 15 year old (we have four daughters) had brain cancer and chemo at age 2 then had a few years with epilepsy and now we are just praying God keeps her for Whatever purpose he has for her and for her sisters as well. I’ve always loved Abeka’s curriculum and they do some of that in their school. May God bless your family. The stages you are in span a large spectrum and it can be exhausting to try to do it all. I’ll be praying for you and your husband. It’s important to make time for each other. Sometimes we laugh and sometimes we beg for just a few minutes alone. Lol. I know God has been with you the entire journey your family has been on and I pray that you will keep your joy and not compare yourself to others but know in whose image you were created.

    I think all of us homeschooling mammas feel the same way about not having it down perfect. I've been homeschooling my kiddos for going on 10 years now and still don't feel like I've got it perfect. But I also think that's the beauty of it. I have 6 kids also! The oldest is 14 and the youngest is 9 weeks. I'm starting my own home business very soon as well and am getting very excited. Thank you for the update I've been wondering about you. You have to nurture your family relationships first! You know the very first institution God established was the family. He wants you to take care of the people he gave you first.
    I would love to see how you set up your school room/area in a future video. We use Landmark's Freedom Baptist Curriculum and love it. A lot of my friends use abeka and love it too.

    I would love a day in the life of homeschooling children with a toddler in tow. Just a general recording of the day with a voiceover. My two are the same distance apart as Georgia and Cruz so I would love some real life info to give my husband as I push for Christian schooling because I do not find public school as an option AT ALL.

We all learn and grow, and realizing that you don't have to have perfection all the time for people to love you is key. You do what is best for you. I know I will still be here.Blessings to you and your family...love Darla

    Congrats on 10k! You truly deserve it. You are the realist and best cloth diaper channel. You truly deserve more views and I hope one day you are blessed with that❤️
    We can relate more when you make the quick/relaxing videos that arnt as “glamorous”. If those are easier for you and less stressful, I’d prefer those (:
    I love the truth and all the information you share!! Keep up the great work/videos of spreading awareness of cloth diapers
    I love that you are putting yourself and your family first, you matter! Do what is best for you (:

    I'm excited to see your homeschool content! I started watching your channel when I decided to cloth diaper my 1st baby, and he started homeschooled kindergarten this year! I'm also still interested in all of the cloth content since we are currently expecting number 3! I would love to see a homeschool video on how you manage to teach your older kids with Cruz involved. I struggle with teaching my kindergartener with my 20 month old running around too. He loves to eat the crayons and color on everything except paper while we try to learn.

    I love the way you do your videos. They are REAL. I have 3 boys 5 and under and another on the way. I'm homeschooling, we live in a little 2 bedroom place and it's chaotic. But I love it. I don't have a sitter or any help. I'm with my kiddos 24/7. I've caught myself comparing with UA-cam because they seem like they have everything together when in reality they probably have a house cleaner, or sitter for their kids so many hours a week etc. I can't do that kinda thing and honestly don't want to. Thank you for being real. Your the one I learned to cloth diaper with when my oldest was 6 months. Also I'd love to know what you love about your curriculum, I'm trying lifepac which is christian based but I'm not really loving it and don't wanna have to do it again in two years.

I never anticipated that, but it opened my eyes and I thought about so much over those few weeks. I definitely realized how much I need to put my family first.
      And yes! I already do simple little pre-preschool activities with Cruz, but I'm absolutely 💯 going to do homeschool preschool with him! Very much looking forward to it!!

I have been considering getting it so it would be awesome to see what it's like and what it involves everything like that. Also no need to apologize, I am a stay-at-home mom I do not work inside the home I am strictly homeschooling, cleaning the house, keeping up with my son and the dog and that in itself is a full-time job. So definitely kudos to you for everything else you do and God bless you and your beautiful family!

    It's like you're speaking the things I've been living. I had to slow myself down too. As a mom, content creator, entrepreneur, it can get overwhelming. Comparisons are real, especially in smaller niche communities. Especially about the personality, people seem to enjoy those entertaining type channels more. I decided to go to 1 or 2 videos a month just to get my sanity back. Life is precious, take time for yourself. UA-cam will be here, your children and other important things will not always be. If you remember my nickname, my channel was formerly Kandi P.

    I like your content for your content. I wish you hadn't put yourself under so much pressure to edit your videos. I would love to see homeschooling content as well.

      I know :-( I pushed myself so hard I think I just burnt myself out... :-/ I'm trying not to do that again! Thank you so much for watching and commenting and for your kind words!

    Dont go editing videos for 3 hours with all that fancy equipment.
    Jays nest just put up and (almost) identical video… editing steals your joy
