      I love the newborn stage. I've had 6, and with our youngest 3 kids, we had twins when one son was 11 months old for 3 babies in a year. I was nursing one while pregnant with 2, while running 4 older kids around (we took in a foster child too so had an extra), and it was chaotic and exhausting, but loved it. That time is magical IMO. I love babies.

    Thank you for talking about the “hard” with kids. It’s HARD AF! I’m an attorney, and motherhood is, by far, the most difficult (but rewarding) thing I’ve ever done. My current hard is that my 5-year-old is getting ready to start kindergarten, and I’m terrified about that. He’s more than ready to go to school, but my mama heart is on edge about it.
    Shoutout to all the badass mamas out there!

With my postpartum depression, to the slow growth of accepting I’m a mother, through my sons first year, and now, I have come back to your videos for comfort, and to know I’m not alone in my feelings. NO ONE told me how hard motherhood would be, or how challenging it could be some days, and rewarding the next.

My baby was the kind that didn't like to lay on hard surfaces, no crib, no stroller, no changing table, he was either in my/our hands or in a carrier on us and I felt so overwhelmed, so deprived of my own self, especially after my partner went back to work and we were alone. He is now super cute, but it's still hard many times!

    One of the reasons I love you is for your pure honesty! Of course, being a mother is hard! And I think more people need to be honest on both sides. From mothers’ side and the others’ who listen. Mothers, most of the times, are pressured to be happy, say only good things about their child, about being a mother, and even about dealing with previous/current mental challenges. You never come off as negative or complaining. I love how you are💖!!

      My sister is in the first year with her first and she has mentioned this before, like "why didnt you people warn me?!" And in all honesty I didn't want to ruin the idea that she had/has in her head of what parenting would/will be like. It's such a different journey for everyone and I'm already a Debbie downer so telling her you will most likely lose your mind at least a few times a week (or day) is a "normal" thing. I have a 5 and 3 year old and i can go from "I'm gonna lose my shit!", to gently stroking their little forehead while they fall asleep and crying bc it's all going by too fast. We are in our second week of Kindergarten and it's WAY more of an adjustment than i thought it would be. She cries at naptime bc she "misses me so bad" 😢

      But that first year is something else. Everything is new and scary, you’re both getting to know each other and trying to communicate. Not to mention, you have a whole new body to adjust to, raging hormones that make you feel wild and the sheer exhaustion of those first few months. I wouldn’t change anything, it’s been the best thing ever! But I would have appreciated some insight 😆

    Hearing about Mimi is so heartwarming. my husband and I adopted 2 cats recently a kitten and a big fluffy black cat who was feral for the first year of her life and was brought in pregnant, loved cats, didn't like people. Shes slowly warming to my husband (we think because the rescue was predominantly run by woman, she may find him a bit less scary and he gives her ham) and she and the kitten are bffs.
    It's so rewarding to watch her gain confidence and twine around hubby's legs knowing how shy she was.

    I don’t know how you do it. You have a toddler & you are making makeup videos.
    There was no way I was wearing any makeup until my son was 3yrs old.
    I love how you do it all. Please take time for yourself so you don’t burn out.

    Being a parent is so amazing and challenging. Experiencing every emotion during this lifetime journey is being human. Thanks Kristi for sharing all you’ve gone through. It’s wonderful of you to share that it is not only ok but normal to go through more difficult parts. A stage one mom find easy another may find it a hard stage and that’s true of any age. Babies, toddlers, preteens, teenagers, etc🤪 I know I still cause my mom all the emotions today as an adult with kids of my own.

    You sometimes ask why we watch these videos. Personally, I love your personality and stories and I’m in a similar place in my life with young toddlers. But even more than any of that, I’m here for the Christie descriptions like “Loviest biscuit making angel” to describe the once-feral cat. 😂❤️

    Thank you for the chat on mommyhood. I’m becoming a mother for the first time in November of a little boy. You confirmed what I’ve heard that the first year is terribly hard. Thanks for reminding me it gets extremely rewarding with the cuddling and the “I love yous.”

    I'm 52 with an 11 year old son and I am still growing with him. He just started middle school. First day of school he called me on his lunch just to see HOW I'M DOING. Haha! I said "I love you" when we were done. He said "Back at you Mom"...he didn't want to say it in front of his friends. I laughed and laughed. He tells me enough when he is home. I'm good. So nice to see you growing into motherhood and enjoying it. It's not always sunshine, rainbows and heart emojis. Sometimes it is 🤬🤷‍♀️😳🙏. You got this!

    I always love hearing about yall's garden. My dad has quite the green thumb and a couple of years ago planted a leftover pineapple top. They take a while to grow but he now has over 20 pineapple plants. The grocery store pineapples could never compare to growing your own. They're so juicy and sweet, the best!!

    People also told me motherhood was hard, but until you experience it, you have no idea. Now I'm am empty-nester, which starts a whole new level.

    I knew you would get past the hard part of motherhood. I mean, each stage will bring its challenges but overall, the hardest part is over! Communication is everything and once you and your child can establish a basic line of communication, it goes so much smoother. You are such an awesome mom Kristi and I absolutely love your “sit and chat about life while putting on your makeup videos!” Those are my faves! Don’t ever stop doing them!

Seeing so many people have kids over the past few years and be more open about what it’s really like, the good and the bad, has honestly made me appreciate moms more and also feel more comfortable if I were ever to have kids. I love watching you talk about the things that you love. Keep being you Kristi, the world needs more people like you 💜

    It is so nice to hear you talk about the good and bad, because I feel like that's most people's experience and the perfect vision of motherhood that a lot of influencers portray makes me feel awful about myself. I also 100% agree that toddlerhood is so much better - it's so much easier when they can communicate!

    One thing that surprised me about motherhood is like you said, the first year or two are HARD. My first was especially hard with reflux and ear infections and such, but it really does get easier and better every day. I’m sure the teenage years will be rough, but he’s 7 now and some days are hard, but generally he’s so easy and fun to be around. Especially once you don’t need all the “stuff” just to leave the house anymore, it’s amazing.
    My second though, was so much easier. Personality wise she’s just laid back and go with the flow. It really highlights how difficult my first was, but it may also be that I’m more experienced so I’m more comfortable…. It’s all so interesting to see how different the experiences can be even within one family.

    When you were talking about not feeling like an adult, I related so hard, I’m in my mid-30s and I just had a moment where I was watching my friends kids and they come running in telling me they need an adult cause someone was too scared to get off the diving board….I remember frantically looking around for an adult when I realized the children were looking at ME 😅😂🤣😂😅 I wanted to whine and be like well don’t look at meeeeee, I still watch Saturday morning cartoons with a bowl of Oops All Berries
