Let me tell you right now as someone who has two rabbits that are litter trained, rabbits are NOT low maintenance. Especially not around little kids. They are too big of an animal to be kept in a cage. They need a space that is their own. Like an entire room that is their own
Man I had a sweet little bunny loved her but so much mess so stinky and I was allergic! To the hay. I would get swollen eyes and itchy nose ugh it was so sad but she’s fine at her new home with her new sister……even though turned out she was a he and got my friends bunny pregnant and now she has five. 😅
My first bunny escaped and got eaten by a fox and the second one was re-homed because he chewed through the sky cable so many times my Mum eventually snapped. Bunny's are troublesome little creatures who really belong in the wild, they have far too much energy to be in a cage and are far too cheeky to allow in the house 🙈
I second this. I’ve had 3 in my life and I’m starting my family now and it doesn’t seem to be a great mix right now since I can’t give my bun the socialization she needs (and she hates other bunnies lol)
I third lol. I've had 3 as well, loved them so much but now that I'm a mom I will not be getting any more. They are ALOT of work. Very messy too. Sweet pets if you have the time
I would say as someone who used to breed rabbits, rabbits aren’t really a suitable pet for very young children, unless they are always supervised while with the rabbit. A lot of rabbits HATE being held, or bite if not properly socialized. They are also very fragile depending on the breed. One drop from a child could break their poor legs and they would need to be put to sleep😢 I’ve seen it happen and it’s very sad for the kids. Also, if you are planning to keep them outdoors such as in a garage or shed, they are very high maintenance in the winter and summer, especially in Minnesota where I’m from. They also can’t live together in the same room/enclosure unless they are fixed, or they will breed/fight. Just some things I learned along my rabbit journey :) Also, thank you for being so open in this video ❤️
Please note that NO ANIMAL is low maintenace. I have one hedhehog. Solitary animal, small... but no, she always has some issue, lost a toe bc a hair wrapped around it 🤯, vet bills, needs to play and move a lot, needs her peace and solitude wants entertainment, has a character, has likes and dislikes... same with bunnies. Please only get pets if you can give them all they need. They can't tell you if they are unhappy, you have know them to understand.
@@mori.kurogawa7936 💯 agree.,, as a veterinary technician and pet owner I don’t advise getting any animal, unless the person is 100% all in. They are another family member! And they are all high maintenance in one way or another.
I had a pretty bad eating disorder as a young girl/teen and it was greatly amplified when I got pregnant. I totally agree with what you said about having a daughter and not wanting to have her go through the same thing. My 3rd is a girl and it completely changed my world and I started to really seek the Lord on how to work through my eating disorder. Thank you for sharing. It was really comforting to know I’m not the only one.
I relapsed in an eating disorder after having my first baby, a daughter. It took over my life for 3 years. I just had my 3rd baby and I am finally in a place where I feel like I am truly recovering, praise Jesus. Ladies, it’s not worth it. I was not truly present with my daughter, I did not take care of myself as much as I should have in my next pregnancy or postpartum. I was a shell of myself and a disconnected mother because of it. I cannot go back and redo the first year of my daughter’s life, the following pregnancy, and the following postpartum with two little ones. It took almost losing my third baby during a hemorrhage in pregnancy to focus on taking care of my body and building myself back up. Now I focus on nourishment and the mindset shift has worked wonders. I am able to talk to all 3 of my babies about nourishing strong, healthy bodies with gratitude to God. ❤ Focus on thankfulness, love, and nourishment!!!
I completely relate to you when talking about past eating disorders/being a mama, especially to girls. It changes everything. Thanks for being so open ♥️
I cannot tell you how relaxing your voice and videos are for me. Every time I feel like I’m stuck as a mom of 3, I look to your videos for guidance! Thank you thank you thank you! You truly are a beautiful soul❤️
Hi Delilah, I loved this video and your honesty. I am pregnant with my third child and very excited, but also nervous of how I will cope when baby is here. I feel myself losing patience with my two children often, and I do not ever want to be in a place of postpartum rage. Also, as busy parents of toddlers my husband and I are definitely experiencing the shift of intimate, close relationship to feeling more like roommates. We parent well together, work as a team, and are extremely committed to the covenant we made in marriage, but I am fearful of how the lack of romance and quality time (other than watching a show in exhaustion before bed) could lead to marital struggles over time. I do not want that to happen, but it almost feels awkward right now (also being pregnant is a whole other factor) to pursue closeness with him, like we're out of practice of dating. Hearing you speak about how the Lord worked in you to heal you of the anger you were feeling etc, I was encouraged and curious if there was any part of the Bible that specifically touched you? I know that I need to spend more time in the word and in prayer, but have not yet figured out how to make it happen more with life being so busy. When I do sit down to have quiet time I feel stressed that I the clock is ticking and what should I read to get the most out of the time. It becomes like homework instead of healing time with God. I also see your relationship with your husband and you guys just seem so cute haha! How do you pursue each other through the exhaustion of parenthood! How to keep the spark alive physically during seasons of zero desire 😅? Thank you for reading this! Blessings to you and your marriage and family :)
I’ve been following along with your channel since I was a freshman in college. During my last year of college, my eating disorder became severe. The thing that made me want to change was my desire to be a mother and to be a role model for my future children in the way I trust the lord with food and my body. I knew it would be so hard to be a momma and work through this mindset. I’m so amazed by you. This is so hard. I’m sure, even now, there are days that are miserable. I am so proud of you for surrendering this to God- for walking in love. I’m so amazed by you, sweet girl.
No pet is low maintenance. Rabbits are a lot of work, you’ll need to do lots of research on how to care for them, they also need an exotic vet as they need different vet care to a cat or dog. They also need a lot of space & a strict specific diet. As someone who’s owned rabbits my whole 22 years of life, they’re definitely not pets for children.
Hey Delilah, do you have any videos where you talk more in depth about your journey with postpartum rage? I would be so encouraged by your journey bc I admire you as a mom so much ❤
Thankyou for your honest video. I think it's so beautiful that God works through generations, from your grandmother to you and hopefully many generations beyond!
I struggle a lot with background noise interference. Something that’s really helped me is loop earbuds. You can still hear, but it helps lower the decibel. I think something like that might be nice when the kids are in the playroom and you are in the kitchen.
Honestly after owning so many different kinds of pets, from fish to rabbits, cats and dogs, parakeets all the things. There is no truly low maintenance pet.
I love watching your videos. I am a pagan but i still love your way of parenting and your love of your faith. I am a new mother and its been hard to manage so much change
Hey, I'm a pagan that enjoys this channel as well! Delilah is pretty much the only Christian UA-camr I can watch these days but I quite enjoy her content.
My biological mother was anorexic when I was growing up. She hardly ate anything ever, took lots of diet pills, drank Red Bulls and smoked lots of cigarettes. She stayed under 100 lbs till I was in my early 20’s. I am so thankful i did not internalize what I saw. I saw how it tore her apart mentally if she was close to 100. I never want to be in that position, not only for my own health but for the sake of my children. So thankful for the Lord guiding me through those early years and keeping me close to my dad as he raised us. She was absent most of my childhood and now we don’t have a relationship after lots of things came to light two years ago. She and I used to be very close, or as close as you can get to a covert narcissist. So thankful that the Lord put it on my to remove that relationship. My life has been so much better and more clear, drawing us closer to Him in many ways.
I agree with you on the Santa Claus topic. My husband and I don't practice any religion, however we have both expressed how the idea of the lie of Santa Claus doesn't really fit with the way we want to portray Christmas. I think Christmas can be what you make it, and excluding Santa Claus won't make it any less special. If you make it fun and special in your own way, then they won't feel like they are missing out. I also suspected from a very young age that Santa wasn't real, and played along until I was about 8 to please my parents.
My husband really wanted to do santa but I really didn't, unfortunately he won and now my son is 5 and is excited about santa but he also has a huge heart and I know when he finds out santa isn't real and we lied it will destroy him. So after years of thinking about it I decided to tell him santa is everyone not just one man, and now that you know you can be santa this year and have him buy some gifts for other kids.
I have seen your channel a long time now and I am very impressed by this q and a. So much wisdom in your way to answer and live your christian life. Thanks a lot for sharing. Greetings from germany
I have a 3.5 yr old daughter. We finally moved to a place where we could get a pet and this is what i did. Im 40 and ive had every pet out there. Im autistic and animals have always been a special interest. I have rescued many in my life time. I currently manage the care of a small herd of miniature cows. They are not pets. I found an ad on craigslist for 2 adult cats that had been raised in a home w 2 kids. They needed to be rehomed because one of the kids needed kochlier implants and kept rejecting their tubes so the dr had them tezted for allergies and turns out they were allergic to cats. We got them because we knew they were good w young kids. Adult animals that are in need of homes are the way to go in my opinion. Pairs of siblings or other bonded pairs are great bevause you can give them the oppertunity to stay together instead of being adopted put seperately.
Thank you for sharing Delilah. You are so encouraging in the way of Life with God, in the practical way of raising children, in how to love and honour the people in our lives ..... in how to just live a life which shines with the Spirit and light of the Creator. Peace and blessing to you and your family!
Thank you so much for being vulnerable in sharing things you never shared 🙏🏽🫶🏼 I was in middle school when I went through an eating disorder and it was really bad from 12 years old up until 15 years old. Then it from barely eating to over eating because I was pleasing others. Throughout my adult life, I do go through waves of it and it hit hard when I first got pregnant & worked at the place where it all started 😔 since then, God has truly been working on my mindset and how I view myself. I’ve definitely progressed and still need some work to do. Especially since all of our kids are little girls. It makes me want to cry and pray that they don’t go through what I did 🙏🏽 so I understand! Also, I LOVE the idea of making a birthday cake for Jesus on Christmas! I may do that with our girls 🥰
I wanted a home birth so badly! My husband put his foot down (that rarely happens). We found a hospital that was very intentional about being as natural as possible. Happy medium! I was stuck in early labor for 14 days, wouldn’t progress, needed to be induced, I dilated so quickly and was crowning within 2 pushes. Then stalled again. Took 51 hours after being induced to finally ended in a csection. Which breaks my heart, but I’m also so appreciative of my husband putting his foot down. My son was just way too big to fit. Those darn 99th percentiles …
@@kayakalugin8644 I was exactly 37 weeks and they made me wait until 39 weeks to be induced since there was no fetal distress or maternal concerns. So in total, 17 days Edit: I kept telling them my entire pregnancy that my due date was 10 days off because I ovulated 10 days earlier than normal and they wouldn’t use that to change my due date from my last period date. So that is part of the equation as well. If my due date was in fact off by 10 days, I went into early labor at 38w3d and was induced after 40w. His growth scans were consistently 2 weeks ahead as well.
Thank you for your vulnerability when answering these questions ❤ what movies do you guys like to watch as a family? I find a lot of “kids” movies still have aggressive behavior, poor dialogue…would love some recommendations 🥰
Man I was sobbing at that raw but about your younger years. Being a mother is what too had me realize my utmost desire to never ever see my child or future children struggle with their body image or self confidence and change and work within myself to heal. Kudos to you Delilah 🩵
I agree about cats getting weird with kids sometimes! You don’t want just any cat but one that will love the kids and the kids will love too. I think that if you pick out a kitten with your kids and it behaves well then it’s a great sign for how their temperament will be as a grown cat with kids. But I really don’t recommend getting an adult cat whose temperament is not treated with kids. Yikes.
I know you discontinued your merch be side it didn’t gel with who you are anymore, but just to let you know that I’m wearing the shirt I got from your merch at the moment and it’s one of my favourite sleep shirts. My random question for you is: what might you do if any of your kids want to attend school at some point? I know a couple of people who home schooled until they felt their academic background was no longer sufficient, so I’m curious.
I won't speak for Delilah, but in most states (idk about in Canada) parents can hire a tutor for classes they don't feel equipped to teach. And there are supplementary classes they can take their kids to for a subject. Also, there are co-ops that meet together once a week for class.
Guinea pigs are a sweet and gentle, low maintenance pet. They love being pet and held and handled. MUCH EASIER than a pet bunny! I've had both as pets. Bunnies nip and bite when they go thru puberty as well and can get aggressive. If you want a bunny they really need to be spayed or neutered to prevent the aggression and urine marking.
Guinea pigs are obligate pack animals, so you should always adopt them in at least pairs. They can also be pretty high maintenance if you're cleaning their cage daily as you should
My son is soooo terrified of Halloween so that was my discernment not to celebrate it. My toddler told me straight up that it feels like death. 😢 We also don’t do Santa because that also freaked him out 😂 But we also do not like to lie to him about anything.
You could also try backyard hens. I live in the suburbs and I have 3 hens. They are more hard in the winter as you do need to make sure they always have water that is not frozen etc. (backyard hens are easier then rabbits + they give you eggs)
I have been watching you since your first baby//you are great//Im older and i look up to you//god bless you and your family//I love jesus and im always loving how you praise him/AMEN/
Sorry this is my 3rd comment but wanted to let you know that I learnt how to love being a wife, mum and homemaker from you. Even though you are 15 years younger then I am I am glad for all you have taught us.
Hi Delilah, Great Video. Im a Muslim from the UK and find it interesting how similar our values are. I thought what you said about Christmas and Halloween was so interesting and i didnt know some Christians held those views. I do find it strange that people celebrate Holidays that they dont understand the meanings of, or their origins. As Muslims we do believe in and love Jesus but we believe he was a Prophet of God like Moses, Abraham and Muhammad (peace be upon them all)❤
Loved this one, your openness and new and interesting questions 👌🏼 I've lived in every prairie province my whole life and would disagree with you though that it's impossible to go outside in winter ❄️ Winter is long here and I'd go insane if I couldn't be outside with my four kids. Winter walks when things are frosty, building things with snow, playing ice harvesters like in Frozen 😂 This year we are excited to get everyone on skates a bit more. Hope you can find some enjoyable parts of winter with kids! The loooong elastic wrist Stonz mitts are a MUST for winter sustainability as they don't fall off 1000 times.
We've not done anything with Halloween or Santa either. I hated being lied to as a child and as an adult, it makes me angry all over again. We got a lot of push back from a few people, including some that I would have thought would have whole heartedly supported us.
Highly recommend turtles. Now, the initial setup can be a little bit expensive and you have to kind of mess with it for a while to get it perfect. But once you have their set up perfect and they're super happy they're very sweet easy going pets. Make sure you research different breeds and you get the right breed of turtle for families. Also note that they live a very long time. I got a turtle at age 6 now I'm well into my twenties and my sweet turtle just turned 20 herself ❤. We had rabbits for a short while, they're wonderful but they need surprisingly a lot more space than you think.
Hi! This Q&A was refreshing with a lot of diferent questions. Too bad it was not mine! 😅 I wanted to know how you do bath routine with the kids. I have two, a toddler and a two month old and want to have more. And sometimes is difficult. I am curious about how you plan that. Thank u. And... i just love love that dress ❤
I don’t say this to try to change your mind at all but for what it’s worth: I used to feel weird about celebrating Halloween for a long time too and kind of shied away from it. However, I recently did some research about the origins of the holiday for a random work thing and now I understand it to be an ancient Celtic holiday. For me, I am Celtic by heritage and have always wanted to feel more connected to my ancestors. Now I celebrate certain parts of Halloween in order to do that. I definitely still stay away from the majority of it but I don’t feel so scared or angry about the holiday anymore. I know God rejoices when we connect with nature and with our ancestors. For me, Halloween has become that! All that to say: you can pick and choose how and what to celebrate with any holiday and Halloween is no different. Again, just my opinion and I don’t necessarily want to change your mind or anything. 💕
...when we lived in Kelowna- until 2021...we were members- and still are, actually, of Willow Park Church.....do u know it? Also, way back in 2003, our daughter went to Briercrest College for one year..................
Currently in a terrible postpartum season of rage. I'm nearly 10 months postpartum and feel angry and irritable all the time. I know my actions are inappropriate but can't seem to calm down before it happens. It feels awful.
Speaking as someone who works at a pet store, which currently has young baby bunnies up for adoption because the people who owned them didn't want them anymore.. please dont get bunnies with the idea that they are low maintenance, do not require the same level of attention as a cat or dog, or that they are inexpensive and easy to take care of. Just like a cat or dog, they require so much love, attention, space, toys, etc! There are so many bunnies in the shelter because people decide they dont want them after a short amount of time.
We have 2 bunnies that are loose in the backyard, they eat grass, veggies and fruit. It’s low maintenance for us ❤ we enjoy having them and when our kids go out to play we just keep an eye on them because bunnies are sensitive to noise and get startled easily. Overall, I would say they are easy pets ❤️🐰
Hi Delilah. Rabbits are not low commitment. I had one, and she was ALOT, go for a fish of a cat. Or even a dog. They are easier. My spaniel is easier than my rabbit was. Children are better with larger animals and not rodents. Love this video. But definitely put the research in when looking into pets.
Amazing video! Hopefully to have such joyful followers as you do, my inspiration at least 😍 keep up the good work, looking forward to see next video od yours ✨😊
How do you keep your kids entertained without any screens? My son gets bored so so easily. I feel like I would need so many toys to keep him busy with zero screen time.
Sometimes too much toys can be overwhelming and kids don't know what to do or what toy to play with. From very early on I let my baby play by himself and then walk away to do some dishes or something. Sometimes he doesn't play with toys at all but he's very happy to crawl around, discover the curtains, discover drawers, discover chairs.. let them explore and do their thing 😊
Delilah❤ long time subscriber here- thank you for continuing to inspire me over the years! I’d love More faith talk because as a Christian I love when you talk about The LORD! God bless you 💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖. ps please come out with new MERCH!!!! I LOVED your merch!
I am not religious, but I have heard many Christian people say that Noah Kahan's music had a lot of christian undertones! (I'm thinking of his song Passenger in particular)
I am becoming a borderline victim to an ed. I am breastfeeding my second and my body image is really getting to me. The weight.. I found myself eating one meal a day.. I’m so scared to gain weight…
Body image after birth is really hard to mentally accept. Seeing our body grow after carrying life and giving bieth to our little babies life. And then the postpartum breastfeeding hunger comes!! I gave bieth to my 2nd child and I gain soo much weight after birth its really hard. But ypu HAVE to eat, to nourish your body and produce enough milk to sustain your little one. I know it's so tough looking at food and the mirror but please please, nourish your body with what it needs. We can develop so many health issues from not feeling our body. Please look into healthy meals to make, maybe that won't make you feel those emotions knowing it's really great for you. Praying for you dear sister
Once your kids are a little older I would recommend guinea pigs. They still require a lot of space, but not as much as multiple rabbits. They like to hang out on people’s laps more. Just make sure nobody drops them, keep the same gender, vitamin C in their water, lots of Timothy hay, and no hamster balls or wheels for them, their backs are not flexible.
Wanted to name my baby boy (in belly) Blythe as a second name...hubs didn't budge on it😅 clicked so fast, thanks for being my favorite background noise. Bianca!*xx
So-called "starter pets" like rabbits and guinea pigs take just as much time and consideration as a dog. People tend to overlook their needs because they're quieter and fit inside a cage... but they need ample living space with lots of hidey houses and toys (cages found in pet stores are strongly discouraged) and most of them won't like being handled by children. They’re easily frightened, eat a very specific diet, and need to be groomed (nails and fur) regularly. They also need several hours outside their enclosure if you choose to use one, so your home should be properly rabbit proofed. Please research in advance!
Hi there, nice to see you again and thank you for your video. If you decide to look for a cat in the future, go for a female brown Burmese, (make it brown one) they are quiet, cuddly and love love children. The best pets I've had over the years. A great companion for anyone struggling as they make fantastic therapy cats, their needs are small. Food, love and lots of cuddles.
I've always been curious if your faith or church does acts of service for the underserved in your community and what that looks like. Also curious if the children have interest in exposure to other peoples and cultures (ie indigenous tribes of Canada, people from other countries) and if missionary work or travel abroad is ever something you all would be interested in.
Popping on from Alberta to remind everyone that the amount of subsidies does not make daycare unaffordable. I’m paying $150 a month for full time care. Do I want to? Of course I’d rather stay home! Absolutely. But if anyone is on the fence - don’t let price deter you. We fought hard to have a government that aknowledged the price of childcare being too much and now we have a solution. Use it
As someone who has been in Child care for 20 years I do see cracks in the current system. Just be prepaid to pay full price. It may happen in the future.
Hi! You said to ask questions in the comments and I had one that I don't think you've answered...what did your first few years of being married young look like...money wise....family opinions...etc...I'm wanting to be married young and I'm interested in what you did.
I hope she answers your question more in depth but in case she doesn’t get to it, I remember from older videos that are now deleted that she worked in a bakery for a while and brought in income that way, I believe they started out in an apartment in parents’ home at first (I might be remembering that wrong, I know they had their own place before having eloise), and their family was very supportive and it’s normal among her friends and family to get married early. If I can give my advice as someone who got married at 22, SAVE YOUR MONEY LIKE CRAZY, especially if you don’t have family you could live with if something were to happen. Marriage itself is cheaper than living separately, but kids and houses and those things are expensive and financial preparation is important, although there are ways to make it work on little income! Be willing to work if needed even if your goal is to be a stay at home mom in order to set yourself up for that future success Edit to say when I say “if something were to happen” I mean like if one of you gets sick or injured or you are having financial difficulties or something. My husband and I moved in with my family because of a family tragedy, but if you don’t have that safety bet from family you have to create your own in times of emergency or unforeseen circumstances
Bunnies are not low commitment, rather high maintenance 😜. They can reach old ages like cats and dogs. Get depressed when alone so you ALWAYS need at least two. ( When one dies you have to find another…. And that turns into an endless cycle) And theyd rather be left alone tbh.
I've been there mama!! It's so hard. How old is your little one? And how long ago did you start?? I started when my babe was 2 years old and she as done great. She's over 2.5 now and still accidentally goes bathroom in her pants. It takes time for them to learn, it's a new skill, now development for them to take on. Don't be hard on your daughter, but also don't be hard on yourself is now is not the right time
Is it that warm in Sask. right now- u r wearing a sundress............here in B.C., aside from our atmospheric river nightmare, temps are about 14C/15C..............
Rabbits are such a misunderstood pet. They should never have been domesticated in the first place. I rescue and rehome rabbits in the UK and have a 4 year old daughter, in no way shape or form are rabbits good pets for children.
Love the video , I dislike Halloween, but my grandkids wanna celebrate it I do not celebrate the birth of Christ on Christmas. It’s unethical because that’s not when he was born and I don’t want to teach my grandkids anything that’s not true ❤👍
No animal is going to be more low maintenance than a cat. And thinking you could maintain a cow in the same breath as wanting low commitment animals is… out of touch to say the least. If you don’t even like the level of activity a dog brings to your house, chickens and cows aren’t practical.
I believe we celebrate Jesus's birth on December 25 because it is the first day after the solstice that the sun rises earlier and Jesus is the light of the world.
That's so nice to see another Christian family NOT celebrating halloween. So many give the excuse "oh but it was called hallows eve 100 years ago" No. You are celebrating Satans birthday. No one wants to admit that.
Let me tell you right now as someone who has two rabbits that are litter trained, rabbits are NOT low maintenance. Especially not around little kids. They are too big of an animal to be kept in a cage. They need a space that is their own. Like an entire room that is their own
Agree don’t get bunnies. You’ll regret it. Just get a couple of kittens.
This!
Man I had a sweet little bunny loved her but so much mess so stinky and I was allergic! To the hay. I would get swollen eyes and itchy nose ugh it was so sad but she’s fine at her new home with her new sister……even though turned out she was a he and got my friends bunny pregnant and now she has five. 😅
Can confirm. Hay is messy and rabbits are better pets for teens.
My first bunny escaped and got eaten by a fox and the second one was re-homed because he chewed through the sky cable so many times my Mum eventually snapped. Bunny's are troublesome little creatures who really belong in the wild, they have far too much energy to be in a cage and are far too cheeky to allow in the house 🙈
Bunnies are NOT Low commitment, don’t bother. Cats , sure. Don’t subject another rabbit to a life in a small cage.
I second this. I’ve had 3 in my life and I’m starting my family now and it doesn’t seem to be a great mix right now since I can’t give my bun the socialization she needs (and she hates other bunnies lol)
I third lol. I've had 3 as well, loved them so much but now that I'm a mom I will not be getting any more. They are ALOT of work. Very messy too. Sweet pets if you have the time
I would say as someone who used to breed rabbits, rabbits aren’t really a suitable pet for very young children, unless they are always supervised while with the rabbit. A lot of rabbits HATE being held, or bite if not properly socialized. They are also very fragile depending on the breed. One drop from a child could break their poor legs and they would need to be put to sleep😢 I’ve seen it happen and it’s very sad for the kids. Also, if you are planning to keep them outdoors such as in a garage or shed, they are very high maintenance in the winter and summer, especially in Minnesota where I’m from. They also can’t live together in the same room/enclosure unless they are fixed, or they will breed/fight. Just some things I learned along my rabbit journey :)
Also, thank you for being so open in this video ❤️
I raised rabbits for years also and completely agree with everything you said!!
Very well said, I agree with you!
Please note that NO ANIMAL is low maintenace. I have one hedhehog. Solitary animal, small... but no, she always has some issue, lost a toe bc a hair wrapped around it 🤯, vet bills, needs to play and move a lot, needs her peace and solitude wants entertainment, has a character, has likes and dislikes... same with bunnies. Please only get pets if you can give them all they need. They can't tell you if they are unhappy, you have know them to understand.
@@mori.kurogawa7936 💯 agree.,, as a veterinary technician and pet owner I don’t advise getting any animal, unless the person is 100% all in. They are another family member! And they are all high maintenance in one way or another.
You dont know HOW. THANKFUL I am for you talking about overstimulation and rage. I am crying my heart out ❤😭
I had a pretty bad eating disorder as a young girl/teen and it was greatly amplified when I got pregnant. I totally agree with what you said about having a daughter and not wanting to have her go through the same thing. My 3rd is a girl and it completely changed my world and I started to really seek the Lord on how to work through my eating disorder. Thank you for sharing. It was really comforting to know I’m not the only one.
I relapsed in an eating disorder after having my first baby, a daughter. It took over my life for 3 years. I just had my 3rd baby and I am finally in a place where I feel like I am truly recovering, praise Jesus. Ladies, it’s not worth it. I was not truly present with my daughter, I did not take care of myself as much as I should have in my next pregnancy or postpartum. I was a shell of myself and a disconnected mother because of it. I cannot go back and redo the first year of my daughter’s life, the following pregnancy, and the following postpartum with two little ones. It took almost losing my third baby during a hemorrhage in pregnancy to focus on taking care of my body and building myself back up. Now I focus on nourishment and the mindset shift has worked wonders. I am able to talk to all 3 of my babies about nourishing strong, healthy bodies with gratitude to God. ❤ Focus on thankfulness, love, and nourishment!!!
I completely relate to you when talking about past eating disorders/being a mama, especially to girls. It changes everything.
Thanks for being so open ♥️
I cannot tell you how relaxing your voice and videos are for me. Every time I feel like I’m stuck as a mom of 3, I look to your videos for guidance! Thank you thank you thank you! You truly are a beautiful soul❤️
Not sure how much you read comments but I've followed for years and you're the reason I started reading the Bible
BUNNIES ARE A HIGH COMMITMENT PET
Hi Delilah, I loved this video and your honesty. I am pregnant with my third child and very excited, but also nervous of how I will cope when baby is here. I feel myself losing patience with my two children often, and I do not ever want to be in a place of postpartum rage. Also, as busy parents of toddlers my husband and I are definitely experiencing the shift of intimate, close relationship to feeling more like roommates. We parent well together, work as a team, and are extremely committed to the covenant we made in marriage, but I am fearful of how the lack of romance and quality time (other than watching a show in exhaustion before bed) could lead to marital struggles over time. I do not want that to happen, but it almost feels awkward right now (also being pregnant is a whole other factor) to pursue closeness with him, like we're out of practice of dating.
Hearing you speak about how the Lord worked in you to heal you of the anger you were feeling etc, I was encouraged and curious if there was any part of the Bible that specifically touched you? I know that I need to spend more time in the word and in prayer, but have not yet figured out how to make it happen more with life being so busy. When I do sit down to have quiet time I feel stressed that I the clock is ticking and what should I read to get the most out of the time. It becomes like homework instead of healing time with God. I also see your relationship with your husband and you guys just seem so cute haha! How do you pursue each other through the exhaustion of parenthood! How to keep the spark alive physically during seasons of zero desire 😅?
Thank you for reading this! Blessings to you and your marriage and family :)
I’ve been following along with your channel since I was a freshman in college. During my last year of college, my eating disorder became severe. The thing that made me want to change was my desire to be a mother and to be a role model for my future children in the way I trust the lord with food and my body. I knew it would be so hard to be a momma and work through this mindset. I’m so amazed by you. This is so hard. I’m sure, even now, there are days that are miserable. I am so proud of you for surrendering this to God- for walking in love. I’m so amazed by you, sweet girl.
No pet is low maintenance. Rabbits are a lot of work, you’ll need to do lots of research on how to care for them, they also need an exotic vet as they need different vet care to a cat or dog. They also need a lot of space & a strict specific diet. As someone who’s owned rabbits my whole 22 years of life, they’re definitely not pets for children.
Hey Delilah, do you have any videos where you talk more in depth about your journey with postpartum rage? I would be so encouraged by your journey bc I admire you as a mom so much ❤
Hi! Rabbit owner here.... Rabbits are incredibly hard to take care of. Sounds like a cat is the best option for u ♥️
Your strength is truly inspiring. May the Lord continue to bless you and your family abundantly. 🤍
Thankyou for your honest video. I think it's so beautiful that God works through generations, from your grandmother to you and hopefully many generations beyond!
Really enjoyed this one 🤍 I'm struggling with some postpartum rage right now, and it was encouraging to hear about you overcoming it!
I struggle a lot with background noise interference. Something that’s really helped me is loop earbuds. You can still hear, but it helps lower the decibel. I think something like that might be nice when the kids are in the playroom and you are in the kitchen.
Honestly after owning so many different kinds of pets, from fish to rabbits, cats and dogs, parakeets all the things. There is no truly low maintenance pet.
I love watching your videos. I am a pagan but i still love your way of parenting and your love of your faith. I am a new mother and its been hard to manage so much change
I just want to say I love your profile picture!
Hey, I'm a pagan that enjoys this channel as well! Delilah is pretty much the only Christian UA-camr I can watch these days but I quite enjoy her content.
@cowgirl1012009 thank you, it's super old oops lol!
@@lizzymorang8906 oh yay I'm not alone!!!
Hi fellow pagans!!
My biological mother was anorexic when I was growing up. She hardly ate anything ever, took lots of diet pills, drank Red Bulls and smoked lots of cigarettes. She stayed under 100 lbs till I was in my early 20’s. I am so thankful i did not internalize what I saw. I saw how it tore her apart mentally if she was close to 100. I never want to be in that position, not only for my own health but for the sake of my children. So thankful for the Lord guiding me through those early years and keeping me close to my dad as he raised us. She was absent most of my childhood and now we don’t have a relationship after lots of things came to light two years ago. She and I used to be very close, or as close as you can get to a covert narcissist. So thankful that the Lord put it on my to remove that relationship. My life has been so much better and more clear, drawing us closer to Him in many ways.
I agree with you on the Santa Claus topic. My husband and I don't practice any religion, however we have both expressed how the idea of the lie of Santa Claus doesn't really fit with the way we want to portray Christmas. I think Christmas can be what you make it, and excluding Santa Claus won't make it any less special. If you make it fun and special in your own way, then they won't feel like they are missing out. I also suspected from a very young age that Santa wasn't real, and played along until I was about 8 to please my parents.
My husband really wanted to do santa but I really didn't, unfortunately he won and now my son is 5 and is excited about santa but he also has a huge heart and I know when he finds out santa isn't real and we lied it will destroy him. So after years of thinking about it I decided to tell him santa is everyone not just one man, and now that you know you can be santa this year and have him buy some gifts for other kids.
I have seen your channel a long time now and I am very impressed by this q and a. So much wisdom in your way to answer and live your christian life. Thanks a lot for sharing. Greetings from germany
I have a 3.5 yr old daughter. We finally moved to a place where we could get a pet and this is what i did. Im 40 and ive had every pet out there. Im autistic and animals have always been a special interest. I have rescued many in my life time. I currently manage the care of a small herd of miniature cows. They are not pets. I found an ad on craigslist for 2 adult cats that had been raised in a home w 2 kids. They needed to be rehomed because one of the kids needed kochlier implants and kept rejecting their tubes so the dr had them tezted for allergies and turns out they were allergic to cats. We got them because we knew they were good w young kids. Adult animals that are in need of homes are the way to go in my opinion. Pairs of siblings or other bonded pairs are great bevause you can give them the oppertunity to stay together instead of being adopted put seperately.
The way that God uses motherhood as a sanctification process is just amazing.
Thank you for sharing Delilah. You are so encouraging in the way of Life with God, in the practical way of raising children, in how to love and honour the people in our lives ..... in how to just live a life which shines with the Spirit and light of the Creator. Peace and blessing to you and your family!
Thank you so much for being vulnerable in sharing things you never shared 🙏🏽🫶🏼
I was in middle school when I went through an eating disorder and it was really bad from 12 years old up until 15 years old. Then it from barely eating to over eating because I was pleasing others. Throughout my adult life, I do go through waves of it and it hit hard when I first got pregnant & worked at the place where it all started 😔 since then, God has truly been working on my mindset and how I view myself. I’ve definitely progressed and still need some work to do. Especially since all of our kids are little girls. It makes me want to cry and pray that they don’t go through what I did 🙏🏽 so I understand!
Also, I LOVE the idea of making a birthday cake for Jesus on Christmas! I may do that with our girls 🥰
Thank you for a link to a plan for reading the Bible..... Love this 😊❤
I wanted a home birth so badly! My husband put his foot down (that rarely happens). We found a hospital that was very intentional about being as natural as possible. Happy medium! I was stuck in early labor for 14 days, wouldn’t progress, needed to be induced, I dilated so quickly and was crowning within 2 pushes. Then stalled again. Took 51 hours after being induced to finally ended in a csection. Which breaks my heart, but I’m also so appreciative of my husband putting his foot down. My son was just way too big to fit. Those darn 99th percentiles …
How many weeks were you when you were stuck in labor? And how many weeks were you when you were induced?
@@kayakalugin8644 I was exactly 37 weeks and they made me wait until 39 weeks to be induced since there was no fetal distress or maternal concerns. So in total, 17 days
Edit: I kept telling them my entire pregnancy that my due date was 10 days off because I ovulated 10 days earlier than normal and they wouldn’t use that to change my due date from my last period date. So that is part of the equation as well. If my due date was in fact off by 10 days, I went into early labor at 38w3d and was induced after 40w. His growth scans were consistently 2 weeks ahead as well.
Thank you for your vulnerability when answering these questions ❤ what movies do you guys like to watch as a family? I find a lot of “kids” movies still have aggressive behavior, poor dialogue…would love some recommendations 🥰
Man I was sobbing at that raw but about your younger years. Being a mother is what too had me realize my utmost desire to never ever see my child or future children struggle with their body image or self confidence and change and work within myself to heal. Kudos to you Delilah 🩵
I agree about cats getting weird with kids sometimes! You don’t want just any cat but one that will love the kids and the kids will love too.
I think that if you pick out a kitten with your kids and it behaves well then it’s a great sign for how their temperament will be as a grown cat with kids.
But I really don’t recommend getting an adult cat whose temperament is not treated with kids. Yikes.
I know you discontinued your merch be side it didn’t gel with who you are anymore, but just to let you know that I’m wearing the shirt I got from your merch at the moment and it’s one of my favourite sleep shirts.
My random question for you is: what might you do if any of your kids want to attend school at some point? I know a couple of people who home schooled until they felt their academic background was no longer sufficient, so I’m curious.
I won't speak for Delilah, but in most states (idk about in Canada) parents can hire a tutor for classes they don't feel equipped to teach. And there are supplementary classes they can take their kids to for a subject. Also, there are co-ops that meet together once a week for class.
@@jenangel7267Sounds like it’s all covered! That’s good!!
Guinea pigs are a sweet and gentle, low maintenance pet. They love being pet and held and handled. MUCH EASIER than a pet bunny! I've had both as pets. Bunnies nip and bite when they go thru puberty as well and can get aggressive. If you want a bunny they really need to be spayed or neutered to prevent the aggression and urine marking.
Guinea pigs are obligate pack animals, so you should always adopt them in at least pairs. They can also be pretty high maintenance if you're cleaning their cage daily as you should
you look so pretty! youre glowing, thank you for your vulnerability.
My son is soooo terrified of Halloween so that was my discernment not to celebrate it. My toddler told me straight up that it feels like death. 😢 We also don’t do Santa because that also freaked him out 😂 But we also do not like to lie to him about anything.
You could also try backyard hens. I live in the suburbs and I have 3 hens. They are more hard in the winter as you do need to make sure they always have water that is not frozen etc. (backyard hens are easier then rabbits + they give you eggs)
Kid is sleeping, I have coffee, a snack and loads of laundry to fold. Time for Loeppky!
I highly recommend The Bible Recap for a chronological read through the Bible. I am doing it this year and it has been life changing!!
I have been watching you since your first baby//you are great//Im older and i look up to you//god bless you and your family//I love jesus and im always loving how you praise him/AMEN/
Just starting to watch this, so my first comment would be I think that your hair looks extra cute. It looks really healthy and shiny.
I think she said she uses Monat, but it contains fragrances!
I love the idea of baking a birthday cake at christmas! ❤😊
Sorry this is my 3rd comment but wanted to let you know that I learnt how to love being a wife, mum and homemaker from you. Even though you are 15 years younger then I am I am glad for all you have taught us.
Hi Delilah, Great Video. Im a Muslim from the UK and find it interesting how similar our values are. I thought what you said about Christmas and Halloween was so interesting and i didnt know some Christians held those views. I do find it strange that people celebrate Holidays that they dont understand the meanings of, or their origins. As Muslims we do believe in and love Jesus but we believe he was a Prophet of God like Moses, Abraham and Muhammad (peace be upon them all)❤
Loved this one, your openness and new and interesting questions 👌🏼
I've lived in every prairie province my whole life and would disagree with you though that it's impossible to go outside in winter ❄️ Winter is long here and I'd go insane if I couldn't be outside with my four kids. Winter walks when things are frosty, building things with snow, playing ice harvesters like in Frozen 😂 This year we are excited to get everyone on skates a bit more. Hope you can find some enjoyable parts of winter with kids! The loooong elastic wrist Stonz mitts are a MUST for winter sustainability as they don't fall off 1000 times.
I love your voice and your videos!! I think besides UA-cam, a job that you could do from home is voice over/or narration of some sort 😍
We've not done anything with Halloween or Santa either. I hated being lied to as a child and as an adult, it makes me angry all over again. We got a lot of push back from a few people, including some that I would have thought would have whole heartedly supported us.
Highly recommend turtles. Now, the initial setup can be a little bit expensive and you have to kind of mess with it for a while to get it perfect. But once you have their set up perfect and they're super happy they're very sweet easy going pets. Make sure you research different breeds and you get the right breed of turtle for families. Also note that they live a very long time. I got a turtle at age 6 now I'm well into my twenties and my sweet turtle just turned 20 herself ❤.
We had rabbits for a short while, they're wonderful but they need surprisingly a lot more space than you think.
its ok to cry//we are only human//
Hi! This Q&A was refreshing with a lot of diferent questions. Too bad it was not mine! 😅 I wanted to know how you do bath routine with the kids. I have two, a toddler and a two month old and want to have more. And sometimes is difficult. I am curious about how you plan that. Thank u. And... i just love love that dress ❤
I would love to hear that too! How often do you bath them, do you shower or use the tub, does Zach help, what is it like with a newborn/baby?
I don’t say this to try to change your mind at all but for what it’s worth: I used to feel weird about celebrating Halloween for a long time too and kind of shied away from it. However, I recently did some research about the origins of the holiday for a random work thing and now I understand it to be an ancient Celtic holiday. For me, I am Celtic by heritage and have always wanted to feel more connected to my ancestors. Now I celebrate certain parts of Halloween in order to do that. I definitely still stay away from the majority of it but I don’t feel so scared or angry about the holiday anymore. I know God rejoices when we connect with nature and with our ancestors. For me, Halloween has become that! All that to say: you can pick and choose how and what to celebrate with any holiday and Halloween is no different. Again, just my opinion and I don’t necessarily want to change your mind or anything. 💕
I’ve had house rabbits and guinea pigs all roam free and ‘litter trained’. They are absolutely without a doubt not low maintenance. At all.

Currently in a terrible postpartum season of rage. I'm nearly 10 months postpartum and feel angry and irritable all the time. I know my actions are inappropriate but can't seem to calm down before it happens. It feels awful.
Speaking as someone who works at a pet store, which currently has young baby bunnies up for adoption because the people who owned them didn't want them anymore.. please dont get bunnies with the idea that they are low maintenance, do not require the same level of attention as a cat or dog, or that they are inexpensive and easy to take care of. Just like a cat or dog, they require so much love, attention, space, toys, etc! There are so many bunnies in the shelter because people decide they dont want them after a short amount of time.
We have 2 bunnies that are loose in the backyard, they eat grass, veggies and fruit. It’s low maintenance for us ❤ we enjoy having them and when our kids go out to play we just keep an eye on them because bunnies are sensitive to noise and get startled easily. Overall, I would say they are easy pets ❤️🐰
Hi Delilah. Rabbits are not low commitment. I had one, and she was ALOT, go for a fish of a cat. Or even a dog. They are easier. My spaniel is easier than my rabbit was. Children are better with larger animals and not rodents. Love this video. But definitely put the research in when looking into pets.
Amazing video! Hopefully to have such joyful followers as you do, my inspiration at least 😍 keep up the good work, looking forward to see next video od yours ✨😊
I'm trying to reduce screen time now.. Getting my son magnetic tiles for Christmas!
How do you keep your kids entertained without any screens? My son gets bored so so easily. I feel like I would need so many toys to keep him busy with zero screen time.
When you consistently do low/no screen time, they actually get much better at entertaining themselves!
Sometimes too much toys can be overwhelming and kids don't know what to do or what toy to play with. From very early on I let my baby play by himself and then walk away to do some dishes or something. Sometimes he doesn't play with toys at all but he's very happy to crawl around, discover the curtains, discover drawers, discover chairs.. let them explore and do their thing 😊
Also I will not introduce screen time until he is a few years old so he can't ask for it because he doesn't know it's there 🤷♀️
My daughter's name is Ivy Coraline. I love her name and had never heard it before she was born, I see it everywhere now!
Delilah❤ long time subscriber here- thank you for continuing to inspire me over the years! I’d love More faith talk because as a Christian I love when you talk about The LORD! God bless you 💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖. ps please come out with new MERCH!!!! I LOVED your merch!
I am not religious, but I have heard many Christian people say that Noah Kahan's music had a lot of christian undertones! (I'm thinking of his song Passenger in particular)
I am becoming a borderline victim to an ed. I am breastfeeding my second and my body image is really getting to me. The weight.. I found myself eating one meal a day.. I’m so scared to gain weight…
Body image after birth is really hard to mentally accept. Seeing our body grow after carrying life and giving bieth to our little babies life. And then the postpartum breastfeeding hunger comes!! I gave bieth to my 2nd child and I gain soo much weight after birth its really hard. But ypu HAVE to eat, to nourish your body and produce enough milk to sustain your little one. I know it's so tough looking at food and the mirror but please please, nourish your body with what it needs. We can develop so many health issues from not feeling our body. Please look into healthy meals to make, maybe that won't make you feel those emotions knowing it's really great for you. Praying for you dear sister
Once your kids are a little older I would recommend guinea pigs. They still require a lot of space, but not as much as multiple rabbits. They like to hang out on people’s laps more. Just make sure nobody drops them, keep the same gender, vitamin C in their water, lots of Timothy hay, and no hamster balls or wheels for them, their backs are not flexible.
Wanted to name my baby boy (in belly) Blythe as a second name...hubs didn't budge on it😅 clicked so fast, thanks for being my favorite background noise. Bianca!*xx
My daughters name is Ivy!! I love Vivian or Olivia if she ever gets a sister
I never thought about why we celebrated Halloween as a child or adult
So when it comes to music, do you listen to 40's music, instrumental music like classical, jazz??? Or just worship?
I love jazz. Just thought I'd add that.
M'Cheyne reading plan is great! It's pronounced "McShane"

So-called "starter pets" like rabbits and guinea pigs take just as much time and consideration as a dog. People tend to overlook their needs because they're quieter and fit inside a cage... but they need ample living space with lots of hidey houses and toys (cages found in pet stores are strongly discouraged) and most of them won't like being handled by children. They’re easily frightened, eat a very specific diet, and need to be groomed (nails and fur) regularly. They also need several hours outside their enclosure if you choose to use one, so your home should be properly rabbit proofed. Please research in advance!
Hi there, nice to see you again and thank you for your video. If you decide to look for a cat in the future, go for a female brown Burmese, (make it brown one) they are quiet, cuddly and love love children. The best pets I've had over the years. A great companion for anyone struggling as they make fantastic therapy cats, their needs are small. Food, love and lots of cuddles.
I was going to ask you if you could do a review of the nugget couch and you did in this video. Thank you so much!
I've always been curious if your faith or church does acts of service for the underserved in your community and what that looks like. Also curious if the children have interest in exposure to other peoples and cultures (ie indigenous tribes of Canada, people from other countries) and if missionary work or travel abroad is ever something you all would be interested in.
Hi! Could I ask what happened to kitty from your previous house? ❤
Popping on from Alberta to remind everyone that the amount of subsidies does not make daycare unaffordable. I’m paying $150 a month for full time care. Do I want to? Of course I’d rather stay home! Absolutely. But if anyone is on the fence - don’t let price deter you. We fought hard to have a government that aknowledged the price of childcare being too much and now we have a solution. Use it
As someone who has been in Child care for 20 years I do see cracks in the current system. Just be prepaid to pay full price. It may happen in the future.
Hi! You said to ask questions in the comments and I had one that I don't think you've answered...what did your first few years of being married young look like...money wise....family opinions...etc...I'm wanting to be married young and I'm interested in what you did.
I hope she answers your question more in depth but in case she doesn’t get to it, I remember from older videos that are now deleted that she worked in a bakery for a while and brought in income that way, I believe they started out in an apartment in parents’ home at first (I might be remembering that wrong, I know they had their own place before having eloise), and their family was very supportive and it’s normal among her friends and family to get married early.
If I can give my advice as someone who got married at 22, SAVE YOUR MONEY LIKE CRAZY, especially if you don’t have family you could live with if something were to happen. Marriage itself is cheaper than living separately, but kids and houses and those things are expensive and financial preparation is important, although there are ways to make it work on little income! Be willing to work if needed even if your goal is to be a stay at home mom in order to set yourself up for that future success
Edit to say when I say “if something were to happen” I mean like if one of you gets sick or injured or you are having financial difficulties or something. My husband and I moved in with my family because of a family tragedy, but if you don’t have that safety bet from family you have to create your own in times of emergency or unforeseen circumstances
@@Alexa-qn6ke Thank You so much for all the advice! I really appreciate it!
Bunnies are so high maintenance. They are a total opposite of low maintenance. 😅❤
Bunnies are not low commitment, rather high maintenance 😜.
They can reach old ages like cats and dogs.
Get depressed when alone so you ALWAYS need at least two. ( When one dies you have to find another…. And that turns into an endless cycle)
And theyd rather be left alone tbh.
❤❤❤❤❤ all love and prayers ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Im very annoyed with potty training my daughter pooped in her panties today and i just feel hopeless now.
I've been there mama!! It's so hard. How old is your little one? And how long ago did you start??
I started when my babe was 2 years old and she as done great. She's over 2.5 now and still accidentally goes bathroom in her pants. It takes time for them to learn, it's a new skill, now development for them to take on. Don't be hard on your daughter, but also don't be hard on yourself is now is not the right time
Don't worry. My son pooed in his pant the first day of school! He got there in the end and so will she.
Is it that warm in Sask. right now- u r wearing a sundress............here in B.C., aside from our atmospheric river nightmare, temps are about 14C/15C..............
Your kids are probably scared of halloween because they've learned that its all about the devil...
YESSS!! Christians who celebrate Satan's birthday aren't honoring God at all!!!
A place where theres space? Like...I live in a two bedroom apartment with 4 cats and 2 kids ...come on 😂
What does your husband do for work? Just curious😊
Rabbits are such a misunderstood pet. They should never have been domesticated in the first place. I rescue and rehome rabbits in the UK and have a 4 year old daughter, in no way shape or form are rabbits good pets for children.
Love the video , I dislike Halloween, but my grandkids wanna celebrate it I do not celebrate the birth of Christ on Christmas. It’s unethical because that’s not when he was born and I don’t want to teach my grandkids anything that’s not true ❤👍
Hey there
No animal is low commitment that I know of 😢
No animal is going to be more low maintenance than a cat. And thinking you could maintain a cow in the same breath as wanting low commitment animals is… out of touch to say the least. If you don’t even like the level of activity a dog brings to your house, chickens and cows aren’t practical.
I believe we celebrate Jesus's birth on December 25 because it is the first day after the solstice that the sun rises earlier and Jesus is the light of the world.
1st comment ❤
That's so nice to see another Christian family NOT celebrating halloween. So many give the excuse "oh but it was called hallows eve 100 years ago" No. You are celebrating Satans birthday. No one wants to admit that.
What are some fundamental principles you feel are important to instill in your children? 🤍🫶 you are such an inspiration as a mother! 1:52
