Dentist here! You can bring your child in as early as when their first tooth erupts but definitely first visit before their first birthday and every 6 months after that.
We see a pediatric dentist (love her!), and she also recommends around the first birthday. Those early visits are more about setting a positive tone for future care than anything else. This approach has worked out very well for us! None of our kids have been fearful about the dentist.
My dentist recommended visiting once the child is 2 years old - and the first visit(s) will only be to get to know everything, and like @Erica said, set a good tone.
I use the Saalt brand period cup! It definitely takes some trial and error, but I love it. It is silicone, so not sticking plastic up there. I use a water bottle and some travel soap for public bathrooms because you can just rinse it over the toilet. I also have used a reusable pad if I don’t want to mess with the cup.
Just found your page and currently 33 weeks pregnant. I just wanted to pop on and say I LOVE your heart to host missionaries. We are currently missionaries in the jungles of Ecuador and it made me smile so much hearing your heart to host that family because when we are in the US we missionaries travel SO much and the blessing of getting to stay in a home and not a hotel is such a breath of fresh air. Love your videos and watching your sweet family and thank you for your kind heart and being missions minded 😊
Really love how you take a minute to structure your day. I'm a first time mum and I feel like I need to prioritise that 🤦🏻♀️ Love your vlogs, they're super inspiring 🥰
The diva cup works awesome! It did freak me out at first to use but once it’s in you don’t feel it. I never leak when using it and I have always had heavy periods. It also somehow cuts the amount of time I bleed for in half! So for that reason I always use it over pads/tampons.
I’m a nurse midwife (CNM) and a mom myself to an 8 month baby girl, and I think menstrual cups are the best! You seriously won’t go back once you try them (and find one that works with your body). Plus, they aren’t plastic, they are made of medical grade silicone :) I love the Saalt cup brand, it’s very comfortable.; but some brands work better for certain body shapes. Takes a few cycles to get the hang of a cup but I’d recommend trying it. Good luck!
I use a menstrual cup!! I started after my first baby back in 2020. I use the brand saalt and it really is easy. I was also grossed out and uncomfortable with the idea of putting something up there. But you only change it in the morning and night since it stays for 12 hours. SO I usually change it in the shower. If it gets messy then I quickly rinse and voila. Done! Definitely recommend. A super plus is the amount of $ you will save considering you only need one every 10 years or so!!
I just found out I am pregnant with my second baby, and my first is only 14 months old! I was starting to freak out. I didn’t know how I was going to do it, but your channel is giving me hope 😅
I was nervous to get rid of the passy too because she always used it to sleep! We went to just night time too and we cut the top off..she was a little sad and said it’s broken. We asked her if she wanted to throw it away and she did and just went to sleep without it. I know it wouldn’t be that way for every kid..but there’s hope!
Diva cup! It’s silicon not plastic! They have different sizes if you’ve had a kid or not. And I personally can leave it in for 12 hours so I only ever change it at home!
My life legitimately changed for the better when I began using a menstrual cup. I used a divacup for years and then postpartum it began being finicky for me to get inserted correctly, so I switched to the flexdisc this year and it’s an even bigger game changer. It works so well and is so comfortable I forgot it was even in (and that I was on my period) and I accidentally left it in for 24 hours!
Hey beth I'm always excited to watching vlogs whenever you post.i always gets to know something new from you and it's fun.firstly i liked the green colour cozy outfit which you bought for your small kid which was looking adorable and comfy to him.i like the way you manage you day at your personal level plus managing your time with your kids,choosing their comfy outfit and also adjusting time for your husband.i like the way when your husband ask your opinion on the flooring which was to be choosen which was really very cute ❤️😍 you guys have a great bond between yourself, a better understanding and helpful towards eachother.yesterday i saw a vlog of a couple with three kids who were roaming at the streets and exploring the city with their kids,i found out that the couple was so cute ❤️ touch wood,both had a great respect for eachother which i personally loved about them touch wood😍 I was so happy listening to both of them sharing their views about the city to eachother,i found it really cute ❤️ they were trying street foods on the city with their kids,i personally loved it so much 😍 touch wood I like when you share and care about your kids and your husband on your channels and i always look forward to watching you on your channel Thanks for sharing may God blesses you and your family with lots of happiness in your life touch wood 😍 See you soon in your next vlog Take care stay safe ❤️
Switched to the Diva cup and seriously can’t recommend it enough. It’s so much easier & saves money! I think it’s a more natural option (being silicone) compared to all the stuff in tampons/pads.
OMG you should 10000% try a menstrual cup. i use the diva cup and you definitely should try it during a time where you are mostly at home. during that first couple cycles i would use backup like a pad or tampon just because you are more likely to have some leaks. but it is especially great after the worst day of your period. i feel like when i used it my period was actually shorter and the blood was able to drain more quickly somehow. plus you can literally go almost the entire workday without emptying it and that is so nice when you aren't on the heaviest day. i love that i didn't have to buy tampons and it is so much more eco friendly. i also just hate pads and tampons so much - worrying about changing them and the smell. i sort of got out of rhythm from using it last year because i had a few early miscarriages and you aren't supposed to use tampons or cups during that time. but whenever i get a period back i am for sure going to go back to mine.
Diva cup changed my life! The public bathroom thing is not much of an issue in day-to-day life if you empty it in the morning before work and at night before bed. It does require more planning because you need to boil the cup before you start using it for each new cycle, so it is still good to have tampons or pads on hand if your period starts fast and heavy. If inserted properly it doesn't leak at all, but it does take some practice. I was most worried about removal but someone describe the "poop flex" and it lowers the cup to where you can reach it better, once I realized this I cut the stem shorter for comfort. If you exercise regularly I would double check the suction is intact both before and after your workout, once during a workout the suction went because I was tensing my core and pelvic area while I was lifting, so I am more cautious about that now. It does sometimes make my cramps feel worse because of the "full" feeling so I will empty more often on those days. I always used tampons and would leak constantly even though I was changing them regularly but what I realized after using the Diva Cup *TMI warning* is that for me and I am sure many other women, my period isn't just liquid blood. It is chunks of my uterine lining (weird to think about I know) and so the tampons couldn't absorb that and I would leak. The Diva Cup catches and holds the chunks, problem solved. Also, once you get used to removal it isn't messy at all because the part of the cup you are grabbing to pull it out doesn't have blood on it.
I use a Saalt soft cup. I LOVE it. I couldn't use it for a bit during postpartum and I hated that I had to use pads/tampons. There's certainly a learning curve, but once you try it you'll never go back! Raw beauty Kristi and Samantha Ravendal have really good UA-cam videos on cups! Definitely watch those if you are interested!
It is so nice how little girl dresses can be worn for multiple years simply by putting them over leggings when they get too short. At least that worked for my daughters! Very cost effective.
I have waterproof laminate in my bathrooms! A contractor put it in right before we moved in & we’ve lived in this house for a year and a half & no issues whatsoever
Waterproof laminate is definitely not a marketing scheme from personal experience and many friends. HIGHLY recommend especially with kids/pets/renters.
Milk in bags are only in eastern Canada. Saskatchewan, alberta, and bc have it in jugs. Love watching fellow Canadians

Eye checks annually as early as 6 months 💓💓
1. Diva cup all the way!
2. Waterproof flooring is worth the $$ - Jared should talk to Tim about ours!
3. Buying those hoops now 😂
I bought those earrings after you recommended them and I love them! I also have sensitive ears and haven’t had any issues with them! Great rec.

When you're filming in a dark room, what do you use to keep your face lit up?
Hope you guys have the best trip!

Awesome clarity
Our milk used to be in bags when I was a kid about 25 years ago. I live in Switzerland.

I use a Lunette cup. It is medical grade silicon. It really isn't messy!
Viv sounds exactly like the character Zowie from the TV show Rolie Polie Olie! ❤️😂 So adorable!
Milk doesn't come in bags in B.C. That's an Ontario thing and possibly some other provinces.

I use the Pixie Cup brand period cup! It’s silicone and it has made having my period such an easy process.

Could you please link your baby tummy time mirror! 😊🤍
Bagged milk is more economical for the companies who package the milk and takes up less space in trash cans and landfills.
7:37 I'm from algeria, and we have the same thing too 😂
It's not just me! I had my son and nothing fits me now! I never hear anyone talk about unwanted weight loss after babe!
Our dentist sees at 6months
AlwYs love your videos! I use thinx period panties and love them! I have a medium flow
Omg the same thing happened to me too! I lost so much weight after pregnancy that even my booty disappeared. 🥲
