Hi Stephanie yes go on your little vacation I'm sure it will do you the world of good, Kameron is so understanding and caring. You certainly deserve a break. Kieran and Thor are so adorable. You both are wonderful parents. Enjoy planning your break. 💖💖💖💙💙
As a grandmother looking after grandkids, I know exactly how you feel. Always giving and giving while taking care of everyone’s needs, never getting out, it’s sometimes hard and exhausting. Especially after raising your seven kids. The one positive is the fact that I am able to hand them over six o’clock every evening, can go relax and have a little time for myself, not like you. I remember how exhausting it was with my own kids. The positive was the fact that one has a little more energy when younger. So, if you can go for a little getaway, do it girl. You will feel refresh afterwards and appreciate your family even more. Kiddies are to beautiful for words💕
The most important thing that you as a woman can do for your husband and children is have something that brings you joy as a woman. Go with your friend and don't feel guilty! You will be a better wife and mother !
Awe Kam soaking up those baby lovin's is so sweet!
Not only are you a busy mom, but you are a stay at home, and one that doesn't drive. I can totally understand the need to get away! I go on a retreat every year, a weekend just for me, and it is so refreshing! Good for you!!
Kieran has gorgeous hair! Thora is adorable and is getting so big ❤❤
@@CathiLambhe does! I wish I woke up with hair like that 😅
@@StefanieandKameron , right?! I wonder if Thora will have the same?
I totally feel you. I am so mentally and emotionally drained. We've been going through some stuff with our oldest son and him needing back surgery. So that is all I think and dream about.
So happy that you and your friend have booked a little mummy getaway, you deserve it!! Gives you something to look forward to as well :)
The book is so adorable I love the Halloween patterns ❤
Stefanie I am amazed at how you keep going without a break. I was very fortunate to have my parents as well as my in-laws helping me with baby sitting my children. Not only did they babysit we had aunts and uncles help out too. Not everyone has that luxury which I understand. The saying “it takes a village to raise a child” is so true. My husband and I had date nights often out which helped us immensely. I wish both of you had family or friends to give you a break. Even though we had date nights and sometimes a weekend break, the guilt of leaving my children was always there. It took me time to get over the guilt. You and Kameron are doing a wonderful job raising your beautiful children on your own, especially with what you both have been through in the past few years. I wish I could fly to California to babysit Kieran and Thora - nothing would give me more pleasure. So glad you are planning getaway either your friend. You definitely deserve it. God bless ❤
Yes!!! You are a nurturer, which means it is difficult to care for yourself. As a mom of nine, I took me nearly 20 years to realize it is OKAY to care for myself. My youngest is now 16 and I have a 2nd grand baby on the way, but now I don't feel bad or guilty when I get a pedicure. I've earned them. It's okay to just do you and rejuvenate your soul. Parenting is hard. And a stay at home mom career is exhausting. Be proud of your work!
I think it's very healthy for a mom to have a once a week day to themselves. Even if it's just an afternoon alone. ❤
Nothing to feel guilty about❤
That’s so cute Cameron holding Thora close ❤
Give give yes it’s my middle name and it makes me happy,but it’s better to fill your own cup en do nice maybe small things for you and you’re lovely husband…please do🙏❤️
Thor’s looks so much like her brother!!! You have a beautiful family
I totally agree.
The mom-vaca sounds wonderful! Hope you can schedule it soon!
I stayed home with my kids but they went to a pre-school 2-3 times per week a week. Those were the days I did all of the special things for myself. Massage, nails, exercise, shopping, meeting a friend etc...AND they loved it too! Even when they were Thora's age, I left them for "mothers morning out" which was only two hours but it helped me a lot!! 😊
My daughter is a stay-at-home mom. But she takes time once Avery 3 weeks and gets her nails done. Enjoy your away time. You deserve lt ❤❤
I love the way you sum up everything you’re feeling. You have a good knack for it. You’re very lucky to have a supportive husband definitely go and enjoy.
Kiddos are so dang cute
Love y’all bunches
💙🩷🩷💙🩷🐱
💯 yes.
I'm not good at offsetting motherhood because I'm using the excuse when my toddler is on the tv with ms Rachel /wiggles I in turn is immersed on UA-cam for hours sometimes. Bad for my undiagnosed ADHD.
So I've bought books to read and replace my phone use addiction
You have a WONDERFUL caring husband!
I really do ❤
Always take time for yourself , your a super mom . You deserve a getaway to unwind. And you’ll appreciate them more when you get home.God Bless your beautiful family.
I am forever caring for m granddaughters, walking my grand dog, doing something for my son or his wife. I give and give and get very title in return,but I am a nurturing Mom. I was running on empty until I started walking in the morning. I walk for almost an hour EVERY morning! It saves my sanity, or at least what’s left of it. Take some time every day for you! Go for a walk. Sit at the park, whatever you can do to get some peace and quiet. You won’t regret it! Enjoy your Momcation, you deserve it!! ❤️
Oh my gosh, I could’ve written this comment. I take care of my nine-year-old grandson, who is on the autism spectrum, as well as house-sit for my boys & dog sit when needed. While I wouldn’t trade my life for anything in the world, my walking routine is what saves me. I walk an hour every morning & an hour every evening, almost every day without fail. I also meditate for 30 minutes when I first wake up in the morning. These are my non-negotiables. My family knows how important my walking routine is & supports me 100%.
That Halloween book is so cute .I love it. Indoor playgrounds are so much fun. The teether is adorable.
That Halloween book is so cute!
So glad you are feeling better. So glad that you and your best friend will be able to get together for a break. Time to yourself is definitely part of self care and your mental health. It will get easier to get away once the kids get older. ❤❤❤
About 1 h 30 minutes north of solving you could visit Paso Robles. We are full of vineyards and wine tasting. Off the 101 is Pismo Beach, then get off the 101 at the PCH 1 in San Luis Obispo and visit Morro Bay, then catch the 41 or 46 east to Paso. The beaches in central California are beautiful.
I'm no help! I'm in the same place where I'm seeing I need some serious "away me time". The stolen minutes just can't relieve the constant planning, organizing, and self giving. I love my job as a mom, but it is a 168hr a week job... kinda need a few hours to yourself! I have sibilings and my mom who can watch kids, but it is small chunks of time so I save up for when I'm having babies or have appointments... once in a while I get to go out with my hubby, but never by myself for fun! I don't often want to get out alone because I want to catch up with my hubby so much😂 I hope your trip plans work out for you! You would have a blast!
My love language has always been giving ❤❤
That's awesome! I hope you take us along! I love that Kameron is always so supportive.
You are SO creatively talented !! Everything you make is so adorable!!
@@jerriQuinlan thank you 😊
Sweetie- you deserve this Momcation more than anyone I know ! Please go guilt free and have a wonderful weekend. You can’t pour from an empty cup so please go and rejuvenate yourself. ❤ from Nova Scotia Canada 🇨🇦
Getting your driver's license would help you get some time away here and there. I just used to go grocery shopping and just look through the grocery store and be gone a couple of hours. It was a great break.
That sounds like a great time. You need it. ❤
I watch UA-cam and go on Facebook to mentally get away. I also go for 1 hour walks with my music or with a friend and have coffee after. My kids are older now and don't need me as much and I've actually found that another hard adjustment in life. U spend a lot of time bringing up tiny humans and then all of a sudden they are nearly big grown humans that want to be grown up.
I love the Halloween items you made! They are so stinking cute! I would love to buy one of your items off of your Etsy shop, but unfortunately I noticed that delivery is not available to Canada. 😞
I totally get what you are going through. My husband and I just started making time for date nights since we did everything with our kiddos. When your kids are older and driving, a whole new world opens up to you. But then the worrying begins since they are more independent. We never stop being parents even when they grow up. I hope you enjoy your well deserved Momcation. 🥰
Counting the days down for a Momcation! You need it and deserve it Stefanie!
You and Kameron are such good parents! Even the two of you need a date night together! ❤️❤️
I’m glad Kieran enjoyed himself at the indoor play park! He’s a smart boy! ❤️
Thora is growing so big! ❤️ She’s so adorable!
Oh, Steph! You are so talented ❤
I promise if I lived close to you, I would watch your babies!!!!! ❤
Momcation sounds amazing. Can I come?!?! Mom of 3 here, too 😆
Yup im a giver! Sometimes you gotta force yourself to take care and spoil you! Kam is a gem supporting you!
So excited for you and your friend! Have a fantastic time!
Your kids are both so cute!
You deserve a holiday, you work hard x
I had to chuckle as it never gets better! I told my husband today after coming home from a 1.5 week of camping I can’t get motivated. He said “me too”. I then realized I made breakfast, cleaned the bathroom as well as moped the floor, unpacked everything, did laundry & dishes, packed & shipped some EBay sales, watered my gardens, mowed my lawn for an hour and a half and it’s only 1:30pm. It’s our 7th wedding anniversary today ( we’re both 64)so planning on a nice dinner, an evening of Jazz & craft beers.
@@shirlynb148 it feels like we never do enough 😅
Happy Anniversary!!
In the long run, you’ll be better for your family if & only if you take care of yourself & your needs first ! This little overnight with your friend is just what you & your family needs for you to be at your best , mentally, spiritually & also physically!! Take a little time for yourself to be put first for a change .
I love to watch your videos I understand you 100% I feel the same just giving giving never ends.❤
If I lived closer, I would watch the kids. ❤
I'm beyond excited ur going to go do sumthin for u girl! Almost as happy as if I'm going lol. Watch u be such giving person u deserve it!
When my girls were growing up there wasn't time for me to take a momcation. I was working two jobs most of the time, but I would dream of getting away from the responsibilities for a while. I was taught to put everyone else's needs above my own, and it does lead to burnout if not careful. Now that my daughters are grown, we have girls' days or take short trips together. Girl time, whether it's with a dear friend, or with family is essential in my book. So glad that you have this trip to look forward to! Hang in there mama. You got this! ❤❤❤
@lynnabbott9777 my best friend goes on yearly vacations with her mom. I decided I need to do that, too 🥰
As Thora gets older you might consider having a girls' day every month or so. Just go to the park or movies, or to get an ice cream cone. It is a time that builds a lifelong connection and wonderful memories for you both. Mommy/son time for you and Kieran. The memories made are priceless when they are grown and gone. ❤❤
This!!! This is so real, and the realistic side of being a mother! As a mom who also is burnt out as well! It’s rough even our little time to our self is not enough! It doesn’t mean we don’t love our children it just means we are human still and need a break too! I’m so on the same boat as you and struggling a lot but unfortunately I don’t have anyone who can help with it! Be and husband are then only ones we do things for each other! It’s hard but I love my kids so much and couldn’t imagine life without them
💗💗💗 that Halloween book is the cutest!!
Yes, I'm exactly like you. I have 5 grown children now. This trip will make you feel so much better
Your kids are the cutest! ❤🥰
I was a single mom of 4. I get it. I at least got to go to work and talk to adults. The dad never took them..... When my kids got older, I did get a sitter every occasionally and started going out country dancing with my aunts and cousins. Just needed that break. 😊
For me I take time each evening after i read the bedtime story to the kids and then I go read my book and and dad puts the kids to bed. I have to have a "don't think" hobby. I love sewing but it's a lot of thinking, reading let's all those tasks go to the back of my mind. You need to find a don't think hobby, like going to a sensory deprivation tank place regularly or finding a rock climbing place or join a karate class or coffee with a friend or just relaxing in your bath with music to drown out the house sounds lol. Anything that helps you relax, you gotta fit into your schedule whenever possible or motherhood gets way too overwhelming. My kids are 6&4 and although I have mornings free when they're both at school, I usually do my homework during that time now that I'm going for my masters in social work. It all gets to be too much thinking lol
Your trip sounds amazing! Maybe join a book club or cooking class or exercise class so you get out once or twice a month. I always scrapbooked when mine were small (still do actually) and would go to day crops or weekend crops a few times a year with a group of women who are now longtime friends.
The better you take care of yourself, the better you take care of everyone else! You definitely need some you time so that you can be the best possible mom and wife!
Stefanie you got this 🌸🌼☕️❤️ Thank you for sharing your videos. The books 📚 you made are so cute, Love the Halloween 🎃 one. You have a beautiful family 🌼🎃☕️ Glad you are feeling better 😻 Much love from Debra in Maine 🫶❤️☕️☕️
My cousin from London, UK was sort of like that when her daughter was still little (right now she and her husband have a daughter (17½) and a son (14). And when the girl was little, I said to my cousin, "You know, (name), you were (name) first, before you "transitioned" into "Mommy mode". You need to be healthy and robust as (name), so that you can have enough energy and stamina to take care of the baby, because she needs and deserves a healthy Mommy!
And the same thing applies to you, Stefanie! Your name was Stefanie for a long time, before the kiddos renamed you "Mommy". And if Stefanie and Kameron don't take care of themselves, then Mommy and Daddy will be so exhausted and worn-out, they're not going to be able to properly take of (and teach) Kieran and Thora. Like it's been said, "You cannot pour from an empty cup." Take care of yourself, Stefanie! Greetings from Massachusetts! PS: I love that touchy-feely book you made!
@@nadlerskid thats such good advice 💖
@@StefanieandKameron thanks. I'm always trying to help!!! So I'm glad this helped!!!
I'm glad you're feeling better. Kiran likes a prince. I really love your little family❤ makes me smile whenever I see you guys❤
I agree....you need a vacation or some time off. You deserve it...when my son was small we at least had two sets of grandparents that could take our son every once in a while. That was gold.
I miss those huge cups full of ice with soda or something in it since I left the U.S.
Your videos are never boring....
I think it's wonderful you are going to take time to refill you cup. ❤❤
@rosieforchange1598 i'm so excited for it!!
God bless you and your family 🌹🙌🏽
Y’all ought to take a vacation to see us. We will gladly watch the kiddos for you guys so you can spend some time in Park City or something.
@@Ramn8tr we'd love that! 😊
I'm taking my first full week vacation (at home, but off work at least) by myself, no husband or kids during the day, since I honestly don't know when. At least since my 4 yo was born...
Make sure to enjoy every second with your children. When I was raising my only child, a son, as a single mom, there was never a time that I didn't want to be doing exactly as I was doing. And he knew it, that he was my top priority, Like you, Stefanie, I am very much service oriented. Literally, I thank God for that, because my beloved son suddenly passed away from two undiagnosed medical conditions, on June 9, this year. He was only 47. The grief is crushing, and my heart is forever broken. I would give anything to have him here again.
Halloween is my birthday!! Not my favorite holiday…that’s too bad you are far away!! I am a grandma from PNW!!! I would babysit!!
I took a week to myself just a little over a year ago 5 months pregnant with our third. It was an absolute NEED to get away for mental health rejuvenation. Take it! And enjoy yourself!
Everything you do is done so well. You are a very multi talented person! Glad you’re feeling better!😇😇
If you can afford to do it then go hang with your friend for a couple days! Mothers tend to put their needs on the back burner which may cause burnout. It’s so important to rest, recharge, and rejuvenate! Enjoy!
My kids are grown but one still here and he takes me camping when ever a weekend is open . Just him and I leave and sometimes we take all of them w us expensive that is tho
Yes you definitely deserve to do it go and have fun 😊❤
You are well deserved of a momcation!
Solvang is such a lovely place with its Danish influence, although not exactly like Denmark for anyone who has visited or lives in Denmark. But, it’s different, interesting and the people are really lovely. You will have a fantastic well earned rest and change and the children will be absolutely fine. Try not to worry about them when you are away.
@@malveenbiddle1356 we love Solvang! Kam and I went for a couple of our anniversaries. 🥰
When my kids were little, I did nothing for mysef. Now once a month I get toes done
I feel you I have surpassed my My cup being filled. I was just looking at pictures from just a year ago. Compared to current, and I look completely different as if I came from a prison. It's hard with 2 kiddos, but it's also not hard. It's more or less the newborn attending
As well as attending towards a husband and toddler. I do feel the same about the love language being an act of service. Been trying to do an at home spa. I got a couple of face masks, under eye patches, hair mask Fingers crossed to dying hair. But I just haven't gotten around to it. Maybe when everything gets better, suggest a daddy's day out with the kids and stay home and do something for yourself or your husband stays home.Can you go out and do some stuff for yourself idk
Happy you are feeling better. The Halloween stuff just got me excited for Halloween! 🎃🦉😺🎃 I can't wait to hear about you and your friends Momcation! You deserve it! Have fun!!! 😊🧡💛🧡😊
Maybe a Nice little swimmingpool for kieran in de backyard ❤ Nice for the hot weather
Love your family 💕😘 greetings from the netherlands
I have some of those Halloween fabrics that I’ve have used for Halloween projects! 🎃
I am that way as well
For what it’s worth, aside from having a “moms day off” which is essential when you’re a SAHM, be sure you have a day that is for you and your husband ONLY. And don’t use it to rest up, use it to reconnect, it is vital to a healthy marriage.
Giving and being a mat for others has been a love language instilled on me by my narcissistic mother and facilitating, manipulative father... it's hard to find it in your head first of all to know you are worthy of some time to recover, it's a similar story with me about getting married, having a baby in the NICU and just being a mother and wife after being a servant and door mat to my parents...once I began realizing I was more worthy of things ,I began asking like you did, I ask my husband for dinner a a couple of wine coolers ...I asked for a vacation to my sister's, i have begun asking and getting my own taste in things not just anything but my taste.....I think you could do a couples massage before you momcation at home during their nap time , we did that and it was awesome
👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽 proud of you
I feel youon all that.the sleep thing oww yeah
Excited for you for getting away with your bff
Ooh I love the Halloween projects!!!! Being honest, I love everything you make!!! It is important for you to get "me" time Stefanie. Especially since you are home with your beautiful children. So glad you are feeling better!!! ❤
Sometimes you have to find the time to relax and do something else that will relax you!
So excited for your Momcation!
@@wlsncthrn same!!!
Yup that’s me in a nut shell..
Perhaps it's because a FB friend oddly added me to a group on FB with frequent arguments & ones I've seen on other social media, but I get it. The argument I see is relaxing in bed, or in your sewing room isn't what Moms mean. They mean going away for the weekend while dad gets "a taste of overdue medicine" and all the other arguments. A lot I don't agree with, but I can see needing a vacation that's not a family vacation.
Oh for sure the weekend get away sounds fantastic!!! 👍🏻👍🏻. I’ve only been to California twice and I remember Solvang and it’s beautiful there! Seems like split pea soup is tied to it some how. Can’t wait to hear what you get planned.
Love Kerian’s blond angel fluff (curly hair). 😊. Have a great day. Oh and what part of Utah does your family live? I’m in Utah! In Provo, home of the BYU Cougars😎.
My family lives near SLC!
Please learn from my experience, I’ve no one there who will help me out with my kids. My husband was great but has never been hugely helpful with our kids. He never wanted me to go out with friends so I could have time as Zoe not mum. My family have never been in my kids lives or wanted to spend time looking after them. My last child never slept for more than an hour at a time and when she was was about 1 what I thought was tiredness, what I thought was body case from not resting turned to I can’t move. I was bedridden for 9 months and have been diagnosed with fibromyalgia. The one thing I try and push onto every single mother I speak to is if you don’t take time to rest and look after yourself your body will do it for you… there is so much more to my story but I hope this super condensed version will help you.
I’ve taught myself to do nails, it’s my escape, my creative outlet and my sanity ❤❤
@zoebowler5664 i agree... i feel like me getting really sick last week and no one else getting more than a sniffle was my body warning me to slow down and relax.
I'd love to chat with you more about fibromyalgia. That was what doctors first diagnosed me with before realizing it was CIDP.
Yep...there really is no rest once you become a mother.......and people think SAHM's do nothing all day....😅
@@foggyqubti6288 right??? Omg I could write a novella of the things we do all day lol
When you go, I want to suggest an unplug. No vlogging, editing, or anything that takes away from you being present in those moments. Take some pictures and share those when you get back. Self-care and a total mental reset will have you back and raring to go. You gotta make time to love yourself because she misses you.❤
Thora looks so much like Kieran!
Halloween is my birthday!! Not my favorite holiday…
With the utmost respect, you once mentioned Kam is a believer. (I am a follower of your channel for a long time.). Have you considered attending church with him? There is a group called MOPS - Mothers of Preschoolers that you might enjoy. Also you might find a local Mom who you get to know with similar interest and can build a relationship with creating a trust bond to share times you trade babysitting. I am all for a Momcation but soon that fun comes and then goes and you don’t have a consistent revolving avenue for filling your empty cup.
My dreams are nonstop. A few days ago i dreamed i had another baby and i had to dress it in barbie doll clothes because i gave away all first kids baby clothes...😂
I swear I am doing chores in my sleep 😂😂
I hope she gets his curls!!!
@@DianaSwi i'm so curious if she will! Her roots are coming in WHITE blonde, so Kam and I were both wrong on her hair color 😅
Hi there sweetie pie hope you are well go for a weekend with your friend sounds lovely love your friend Eugenie xxx 💕🦋🌞🌹
Second 🎉❤❤ The kids are growing so fast. Slow down!!! 😮
You absolutely need "YOU " time. Please do that for your mental stability and well-being. Moms do for everyone but themselves . ❤❤
