Karen, I resonate when you say allow your home to be lived and not pristine, I must say even till now I am still learning to let go and enjoy little treasured moments with my 3 boys. You can do it mommy, jia you! Mental health is good, self care comes first and you can give your best to your family ❤️
"you should do Yoga with Adriene" TASTE she has some of the easiest workouts out there without any complicated positions and she's an angel, highly recommend starting a 30 days challenge with her!
im obsessed with these vlogs and your wabi sabi decluttering sounds like just what i need for the new year! also bby dove is so cute thank you for the serotonin
I also have been decluttering my wardrobe and apt to be more minimalistic. It’s has been very freeing in many ways. That book is something I am interested in reading for sure 😊 Also, I love what you’ve done with the living room.
your new years eve celebration was so chaotic neutral it was hilarious 😂also your brother is fine asfff and dove is so cute! Leo sleeping during the countdown was such a mood! HAPPY NEW YEARS!
I would love to see decluttering videos from you! Not everything needs to be thrown out or donated though, many people choose to sell items they not longer want, or when donating, choosing to donate to women's shelters (for example) rather than major name thrift stores. Repurposing items, give them away as gifts, there is so much to the decluttering realm that you have yet to explore. Minimalism takes on a similar philosophy to what you were explaining in Wabi Sabi
My soul dies a little every time you call the show "Outlander" "*The* Outlander". 😅 If you're a fan of the show, and are looking for an amazing series of books to dive into (if you have time, anyway- I'm having my first baby in less than 2 months and totally understand that reading novels might not be a thing soon), I recommend "Outlander"! Such, such good books. Way more detailed and more intense than the show (with the exception of season 1, maybe). Loving your vlogs with Dovey and all the baby recs, it's really helping me prepare for what's to come! 💖
Hello Hello 😁Arriving 2021 Jan 1st, I am here to tell you about the future because we have a lot of thing coming 2021, This is a new year and a great call for celebration with family and dear ones. Start the new year holding on to the old memories with a new spirit and hope. Happy new year! This year may finally realize that real fun in life comes from real people, not from the virtual ones. Have a great year!
@iamkareno can you please link the Matisse prints you have on the wall and over you your bed?? They are perfect and hard to find as a set on etsy. 🙏🏻 ❤️
It looked like you were in pain when you did an upward dog and I’m going to assume it was your lower spine. Be careful when practicing yoga. Every movement has an intention and should not make you feel pain when going through flows. The internet should have some easy to follow flows to help make sure your not doing the poses wrong. Home this helps and good luck on your yoga journey.
Did she ever tell why she never breastfeed? I'm really curious but I'm also like 0% judgment, like even if she did it because of beauty reasons, that's her choice and I respect that. But I'd love to know the reason why... Nowadays everyone is telling to breastfeed as much as possible, like even after 2 years... But to be honest, if I ever have kids I don't think I will be willing to breastfeed that much... like max 6 months... but I feel like other moms look down on you if you stop breastfeeding "too early"...
from what I remember she mentioned how stressful breastfeeding can be on the mother and she didn't want to be stressed and wanted to make the experience more positive for her and be available for her baby so she chose not to breast feed since the dad can also help out with it instead of her being the sole person. but don't quote me 😭 I'm remembering loosely what she said
@@Ra1nb0wPuff I fully support what she said if she ever said that! One of the main reasons I'm kinda doubtful about having kids, it's because I can't stand the fact that moms get like 99,999% of the burden. And breastfeeding lead to that even more. So having dad and mom being able to feed the baby since birth, really help to make the burden more even... I'd also do this if that helps. There are many people who weren't breastfed and are as healthy as breastfed babies.
@@Namipam that’s not true. You can absolutely breastfeed with a breast augmentation. *Some* women find they’re not able to produce as much milk, but it’s not impossible.
With all due respect, Dove is much too young for solids! 4 months is way too young, even though many pediatricians recommend starting this early. It’s very outdated advice. Best practice is to have baby be 6 months and show all signs of readiness (sitting unassisted for ~1 minute, loss of tongue thrust reflex, shows early pincer grasp, etc.). Her gut is still undeveloped!!! Please wait longer! Edit: Also, the standard Bumbo seat is not a safe place to feed baby solids! The shape of the seat does not position their bodies in a way that can prevent choking and does not provide optimal trunk support. Only the Bumbo multi-use seat that comes with a tray (as well as any high chair) are suitable places for baby to eat solids. Even a baby sitting upright on the floor (unassisted) is better than a Bumbo (which is why waiting until 6 months AND all other signs of readiness are met is important for safety and health reasons).
as a mother, i don't think we should go around telling new moms what to do. they are under enough pressure already. That and their hormones can lead to depression. we need to respect them where they are in their journey. Mom's mental health is priority. Is baby fed? is she safe? There is way too much emphasis on so many details. I'm 50. I survived a lot of things a baby. We all made "mistakes" as new moms - and were they really mistakes? Dove will be ok.
@@lisaneville6155 I am a mother too, and a first time mother at that. I am also still recovering from post-partum depression, anxiety, and rage. So, I am wholly aware of the pressures new and existing mothers face day in and day out. Of course a mother’s mental health is crucial to prioritize, but I don’t see what that has to do with me warning her of some of the dangers of feeding solids early and improper feeding containers. For some babies, these “many details” can affect their health/wellbeing in the long term. Offering solids too early can lead to gut issues as a child, adolescent, or adult. Feeding a baby solids, and especially a baby that has not yet reached certain developmental milestones, in an improper container can increase risks of choking. And okay, you’re 50. In 50 years there has been significant developments in medical research on food safety for infants. I don’t doubt that Dove will be ok, but there are several times in my early motherhood that I wish I had someone tell me something was unsafe for my baby. I’ll even offer an example: my toddler was a terrible sleeper when he was a few months old, and sometimes I’d accidentally fall asleep while he was asleep in his swing. I found out later that leaving a baby to sleep, supervised or unsupervised, in something like a swing is dangerous due to the risk of positional asphyxiation. I’m not at all trying to insinuate that Karen is a bad mother or that Dove is in grave danger. There’s a lot we learn as new parents and it’s a perpetual process of taking in new information and correcting mistakes (and yes, they are mistakes. It doesn’t make us evil). I’d be leaving a similar comment if Dove was shown to be forward facing in a car seat at a year old (when kids can die of internal decapitation in the event of a car accident if FF’d too early). There’s nothing wrong with being...... wrong. We all do it as new parents.
@@natalyuhh you missed my point. This is where you should be minding your business. If you have nothing nice to say, don’t say it. Are you ok with ppl correcting every move you make with your child? Sit on that for a bit.
@@lisaneville6155 I was never “not nice.” Nothing about my original comment or reply was scathing or rude. I simply implored Karen to look into some of the safety concerns associated with feeding solids early and feeding in a regular Bumbo seat. That’s it. No, I don’t want people dissecting every choice I make with my child, and I didn’t with Karen. But I would be just fine with people raising potential safety concerns my child could be exposed to. There’s a distinction between parenting in different ways and possibly exposing a baby to unsafe practices. Anyway, I am done with this discussion. Have a super awesome day.
Karen, I love you but if you take the dog out for a walk at least twice a day for 15 minutes - eventually, the dog wont pee on your rug. Trust me. A backyard isn't enough for a dog
Every time I see Dove my ovaries go into hyperdrive! She’s so perfect. You’re whole family is so beautiful 💕
Dove is an absolute angel 🥺🥺🥺 my Baby fever skyrocketed lol
It warms my heart to see you talk to your mum and Dove in Cantonese.

She had a breast augumentation. Normally you cannot breast feed then, it doesn’t work anymore due to the surgery. I am quite sure that is the reaso.
@@Namipam I don't think that's the reason?? she mentioned she still leaked so I think they do "work"

Wait.. how old is she?? She’s eating solids already? I feel like she was just born ...?
@areli hinojosa and banana for the first food is also not the best choice..
@areli hinojosa I see. I was wondering how old she was, because it seems like she was just born recently. Lol not like she’s my baby
@areli hinojosa she’s about to be 5 months
Is Karen on a diet?
🥺🥺🥺
Very nice 😍💋 💝💖♥️❤️
Good. I wait for love from you 💝💖
