To find joy everyday and to be myself. I'm a people pleaser and sometimes that makes me not be my authentic self. I also have a lot of goals I want to achieve this year. Saving money, being the best mom I can be and keeping my family and I healthy as best as I possibly can. Healthy physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually. It's not always easy to achieve all of these goals but I sure am going to try.
I hope you found time to do something for yourself. As mom's i feel like when we have a over whelming amount of things we need to get done or the amount of chores we need to get done to feel stress-free it's so easy to lose a sense of who we are. Of course being a mom is the best but we still are a wife and more than that we are our own person. So when you feel overwhelmed I just hope you catch it and you really do something for yourself to feel better or fill your cup. I have been there and you seem like such an amazing mom you deserve that time for yourself🥰
Thank you so much and you are so right! I ended up taking a bath and self tanning like I said and it honestly made the world of difference 😅 felt great!
Thanks for sharing! I use a crib wedge for all my babies, it helps so much with preventing spit-up when they lay on their backs. And idk if this is backed by data, but I definitely get more clogged ducts when I’m tired and/or stressed. I’m nursing my third baby now, and whenever I have a long night I’m way more susceptible! Rest is so hard to get with little ones, but so so important ❤ try not to push yourself too hard.
Happy New Year 🎉🥳🎇 I can tell that Ben has grown since your last video. I'm glad that Y'all had a wonderful time with your family. I am the same way as you when it comes to things being cluttered or out of place. I just can't handle it. If my house isn't clean neither is my mind. Your dinner looks Delicious. My New Year resolution is to learn to do things for myself. Like Self-care. I do so much for everyone. I'm the only one who cooks 2 or 3 meals per day.. for my Large Family. So I am planning on implementing a self-care routine. Just some time. I'm glad that you are back home now, I missed your videos. Oh my goodness I do remember when Scarlet loved that same little toy. How cute that Baby Ben has the same one. I'm Glad that Y'all had a wonderful Christmas and New Year. Take care and I will see you in the next video. Much Love From your longtime Indiana Friend.
Ben sticking his little tongue in and out like he was doing😆🥰 so cute, he is literally a even mix of you and Ty,to me he looks like you and him, not more one than the other 💙 he literally grew so much since the last vlog😩
You tickle me with your happiness. I am very happy for you with your new life. You have a beautiful family. Happy new year. Glad for you & Ty together.
If he is ready to transition from the swaddle but loves it try the zippidee zip from sleeping baby! All my kids transitioned to them and used them until over two years old 😅 they are amazing!
I agree - go do something for yourself ❤ I think your vlogs are very real and truthful. I really appreciate and enjoy them! I’m having my third kid in June. I feel like a first time Mom because my girls are 6 (turning 6 Saturday) and almost 5. I am taking all the baby suggestions from you 😊 what portable changing pad do you use at home? I thought I saw one on a previous vlog.
Thank you so much for following along. And ugh the coffee was sent to me in a PR package from bare minerals. I need to figure out where it actually came from because it’s so good?
Also try the love to dream stingray suits as a way to transition him out of swaddle. Both my boys loved these. Their arms are up over the head and they have specific transition versions where the arms can be removed. You can start by just removing one arm until he gets used to that. My boys only took a day or two with one arm out and then they were happy with both arms out.
I love watching your videos and how relatable they are! I feel like everything you said is what I think! I have a 5 and 1 year old so we are in similar situations. I want to purge my entire house after the holidays lol get back on track with feeling good about myself and I couldn't agree more with just being you and not caring what others think! Happy New Year!
Yes Caitlyn!! I love that you want to be yourself this year without caring about all of the judgments!! My goal is to get back on track with my health and nutrition after having my last baby in June! And constantly uploading YT videos
So proud of you for being who you are! We have loved you since the beginning and that’s why we related to you. Love you being you. What time does Scarlett go to bed these days? My daughter is the same age and she’s waking up so early and wondering if i need to change her time.
Have you had him checked for reflux? My daughter was spitting up like Ben and was not sleeping well and once she was diagnosed and started meds it changed everything! Just thought I'd mention it.
Yeah we talked to our pediatrician today. It’s so inconsistent. Some days (like this day) it’s worse than others. But it’s not really effecting him most days so I don’t think we need to do anything…yet at least haha. Thank you! Glad you got something to help you
You are doing great mumma. Buy yourself some cute maternity activewear. I lived in a brand called emamaco. They had baby pink and blue, black & white active nursing tanks. Pair them with their recovery tights which are super high waisted and firm around the tummy to hold you in. I would probably go up a size in them though. Otherwise they have regular gym tights. New bras definitely make all the difference.
I don’t make any .... so I won’t break any But I need to lose weight And random happiness .... my daughter and her ex husband (I adore him and always have had a great relationship with) are back together !!!!! 🥰
Hi Caitlyn! If you don’t already, please follow milena ciciotti. She JUST uploaded a video talking very openly about so many of the things you’re struggling with. I totally get the external clutter seeping into your internal headspace. I think you’ll find a lot of support & encouragement from her channel. You’re not alone ♥️
What’s your New Year’s resolution?!?
Sleep training 😂

I’m 9 months postpartum and working hard to gain my strength back. Hoping to continue that for the new year.
I love how real and raw you are and I love watching you with Ben your such a great momma ❤️
My only resolution is to be consistent in prayer that my parents reconcile by this Christmas!
Sounds wonderful! 🤍🤍
My new year is my health and I want to travel outside of Arizona
Love that!!!!!

Yes, I can relate. If my house is a mess I can't be at peace. Ben is getting so big. Love your videos. ❤

Thank you so much for following along. And ugh the coffee was sent to me in a PR package from bare minerals. I need to figure out where it actually came from because it’s so good?
Good!****
I have to deep clean my house before traveling because when I come home I just want to focus on doing laundry and resetting for the week
Yes! I agree. I usually do that actually. Just couldn’t this time 😭🤣
Happy New Year Caitlyn! 🎉 My goals are to work on finding joy every day and growing my UA-cam channel.
Love that! You got this!
Ben looked so sweet in your arms sleeping as you cuddled him!
Ahhh thank you!

Thank you! You too!
Your baby boy is a genius! 4:50 tell me he’s not intentionally shaking his head no that he doesn’t want to say anything 😮
Omg just rewatched that 😅

This is the eufy baby monitor - also use their smart sock
Unapologetic!!🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽
🙌🏼🙌🏼
Don’t worry about other people if they don’t like what you say or do they don’t have to watch your videos.
100% yes!
I don’t make any .... so I won’t break any
But I need to lose weight
And random happiness .... my daughter and her ex husband (I adore him and always have had a great relationship with) are back together !!!!! 🥰
That’s GREAT news! How awesome thanks for sharing! Love your outlook on resolutions too hahaha
Thank you !! You’re very kind !
I enjoy your videos
Ben is a tiny Scarlett for sure !
❤❤❤

Yes everything has a place lol
Mine is to try to eat healthy.
Love!!! Always a great goal
My goal is to cook more instead of eating out all the time😅
That should be mine 🤣🤣
Haha the amount of money I spend eating out 😩 ugh!
Maybe try to just feed him when he wakes up? My daughter spit up like crazy and I was so paranoid she'd choke on it while she slept.
I mean that sounds ideal but he eats before and after sleep. Lol. Breastfeeding life.
@@CaitlynNeier 😂 very true!
@@CaitlynNeier hope you'll start feeling more yourself soon! Having a baby is tough!
This is the second video in a row that I hear they don't want to look or feel "motherly" lol
Hahah who else said that? That’s funny 🤣
@Caitlyn Neier Kyra Renee, mom of 4, said it about a new hairstyle and haircolor she was trying. Lol
Try and loose the baby weight and be the best mom I can be
Good for you! 🤍🤍🤍
