But you don't have to do it on your own, it doesn't mean you failed. You've earned this. It will give you the opportunity to be more productive in business. Look at it that way.
Kudos to both of you for realizing that you need help early on instead of waiting until things fall apart. Even as a married couple, it is ok to receive help because NO ONE can do it alone. Embrace the fact that having and raising a baby is a FULL TIME ministry of love. Enjoy it! (from a married mama if three).
Destene and Brandon y'all have the coldest house in these UA-cam streets I mean such impeccable taste from the roota to tha toota ok y'all house needs to be on Architectural Digest ok love y'all keep doing what y'all do because we love to see ok.... and baby Ocean is just so friggin beautiful chocolate doll. 😍🥰you all are a beautiful Black family that got in going on so proud of y'all for real true inspiration for real.
I swear… Another rough night, and your video grace is my feed! ✨👏👏✨Love it. And yes, it's definitely OK to get help. Me as a blind mother, I used to always feel like I have to prove myself 10 times as much as a person with vision, and I still do at times I'm not gonna lie, but I am now more open to asking/receiving help than I was before. It's really OK.
I got my daughter’s ears pierced at about 3 months old by her pediatrician at the time. It was great and she barely cried. It was more of a surprise for her and then she chilled. In fact, I cried more than she did and her pediatrician had to tell me to get it together 😂
Dear Destene & Brandon, we thank you for sharing your lives with us. There are many big & small hurdles that you have conquered publicly, where individuals; couples, and families are inspired privately. Your message/ brand falls on good soil that we all are growing together. Kind regards, Alecia
I got my daughter a little 3foot pink Christmas tree for her room to match her walls for her December birthday. She was so happy and had fun decorating it. It was from Amazon and it came with ornaments, lights and a Star! I thought about Ocean and how a pink tree would look so cute in her room. Glad you are starting her ornament collection. 💜💜💜🎄🎄🎄🥰🥰🥰
Hey Destene, Brandon and Ocean. Happy Holidays and thanks so much for the cleaning advice! We have a 2-story home in Dallas and I will definitely take your advice.
You know you've truly become one when neither one sleeps properly without the other 😊That was so cute, profound and beautiful!! ❤ And Ocean is getting so gorgeously chunky 😍🥰 Hi pretty baby!!! Stay blessed!
Im soo proud of you Brandon and Destene ❤when I had my first son I was so overwhelmed and I was doing it as a single mother ( but I thank God for my mom and her being there) & I truly realized that I needed help and I want you to know that there is nothing wrong with getting help ❤ Dont be ashamed & I am soo proud of you both! You are both so inspiring! ❤God is truly covering this family ❤
❤❤❤YES LORD GOD CHRIST KING JESUS.. IT IS OKAY, EVERYBODY NEEDS HELP, AND THAT DOESN'T MAKE YOU WEAK... YOU TOO BE BLESSED AND COVERED IN AND BY THE BLOOD POWER OF JESUS CHRIST HOLY SPIRIT AMEN 🙏🏾💪🏾👑
I got my baby’s ears pierced at 5 months. My husband cried harder than she did! My Mama didn’t get my ears pierced until I was 8 years old. It’s up to you as to when or if you want to get Ocean’s ears pierced. Take your time. Postpartum hair loss is something. But I kept taking my prenatal vitamins and the hair began to come back. Babies take everything out of you, in more ways than one. You’ll get it back in time🌻
Glad you guys got the help you need. And you guys look great!!! I got my daughter's ears pierced atn3 months old. I asked the doctor if it was ok I believe. I was nervous too but when it was done she just made a split second noise, wasnt a cry but a," what was that kinda sound, like ouch!!! God bless!🙏🏽❤
Ocean is voice is so soothing.. she’s a cutie. Great you got extra help when you need it most. As far as hair loss try putting a few drops of Rosemary essential oils into your oil mixture. If you got clove oil as well add a few drops. It will make your hair grow back. You guys look cute matching :). Brandon hopefully your team win next time. Thank you for sharing. God continues to bless you guys.
❤❤❤❤YES LORD IT IS, EVERYBODY NEEDS HELP 🙏🏾💪🏾 THAT DOESN'T MAKE YOU WEAK.. YOU TOO BE BLESSED AND COVERED IN AND BY THE BLOOD POWER OF JESUS CHRIST HOLY SPIRIT AMEN 🙏🏾👑❤
She’s looks like a healthy baby! Make sure you get your thyroids checked. It’s hard as a first time new born parent. Prayer, have each other backs and receive help when needed. You guys got this!
Brady, you are so right about that because I’m from Toledo and have gotten spoiled with these Texas weather I hate going home when it’s cold outside me going home is between May and October. If I don’t go home between those months they gonna have to wait and try to see me next yearif that.
Definitely is ok to ask for help!! I got my daughter's ears pierced at 2 weeks old but that was 35 years ago and it was done in the doctor's office after vaccines. Nowadays I think they advise of waiting until they're like 6 weeks.
I mean, 😢 be had a cleaning service (now friend) for nearly 20 years! It’s the best thing to do for your back and your time! They know what to do. My person started with an agency, but separated and began her own thing. I completely supported her getting all of the money.
I remember needing help with baby #5. That pregnancy was a c-section. That was a struggle. My husband at that time was working with CSX ( railroad) so he worked all day. I only took 2wks off of work. I don’t know if I could do it now, that was 13 yrs ago and I actually had 1 more baby. She 7 so not quite a baby. Bless your family❤
I pierced my baby's ears after her 8 week check up and the pediatrician said it was okay. She barely cried. Sometimes pediatricians will pierce them too.
Hormones can do that to your hair. Especially DHT. I am reversing over a decade of hair loss but its male pattern balding and teach men on my channel how to get their high school hair line back naturally, no matter the scale of loss.
Its usually 3 months to get her ears pierce she sounds so cute cooing teething already wow how time pass.Hi ocean as well you and brandon.The colors are so cool matching.
There's nothing wrong with asking for help. I think we all need help at some point. It's not a bad thing. Especially for first-time parents. ❤ I'm sorry, but I'm for Michigan, my home state! Baby Ocean is getting so big, cutie pie😊🥰
Hey my favorite married couple on UA-cam Brandon and destene it's understandable that need help Brandon and destene it's alright great parents you are 😊❤
My daughter got her ear pierced by her Pediatrician at 3 months. Children's ENT offices will do them too. Being born in Ohio and raised in Columbus the Buckeye love made me miss home. I'm in TX now as well.
Brandon know he lying about the cost of that gear 😂. Sorry for the loss. We live in Columbus and stayed at home because we already knew it was going to be too cold! What hotel was that because I would like to book it for our wedding anniversary at the end of the month. That breakfast looked great!
Good evening how are you doing I am well watching replay glad y'all got help ocean is growing beautiful family we love y'all thanks for sharing blessings ❤️❤❤
Enjoying your vlogs! God bless you and your family 🤗 Just a thought…..I would wait to get baby’s ears pierced. Personally I got mine pierced as a baby and as I got older the placement is obviously lopsided 👎🏾. It’s especially apparent when I wear big studs because one will be dang near hanging off my ear SMH lol It sucks because that’s not something I can fix 😣 so I’m personally going to wait to pierce my future daughter’s ears. Besides there’s so many other noninvasive accessories you can play with. Like clip on earrings, cuffs, headbands, bows, necklace, bracelets, etc etc. I don’t understand why our society is in such a rush to pierce a baby’s ears when she’ll have it her entire life
Hey Des i got my baby's ears pierced at 4months. My baby girl forgot about the pain 30sec later and it hasn't been an issue since. She is now 2years old 😊
I think got both my girls ears pierced around 4 or 5 months. And they both probably cried for a minute or 2. I just had a pacifier and a bottle on standby and they were good. ❤
You were thinking of a gift for Ocean. You could get her ears pierced for Christmas with some diamond or gold earrings so they could be cute for her Christmas pictures.
wow!!!!! thats where im at in da buckeye state!!!!! i live near the OSU CAMPUS!!! next time yall ever come to columbus ohio i have sum great spots u guys can eat etc!!!!!!!!!! anyway love u guys and congrats again to my lil leo buddy lol
Random question. What were you and Brandon’s jobs prior to social media and what was that transition like? Idk y’all may have answered this in the past and I just have missed it
LIke you I couldnt bare the thought of her getting her ears pierced as a baby and the pain. I wanted her to do it when she was ready. (Also didn't want to risk her pulling on them. My babies liked to keep their hands on their face). My daughter is 5 and now feels ready to get her ears pierced so will be taking her soon!
I'm going to ask you guys to give baby Ocean a bit more video time, because She is just a lil plum plum🥰 I feel like Auntie, everytime I see a glimpse of her, I be having the cutesy nick names for her❤lil kissy face! P.s I'm a girl mom, forgive me, 🙏🏽 lil Nuna bug.
Thanks so much to Homeaglow for sponsoring today’s video! Head to homeaglow.com/destenebrandon
to get your first 3 hours of cleaning for only $19!
I love that ocean is a little chatty patty she was just chatting away so sweet. Nothing is wrong with getting help❤
But you don't have to do it on your own, it doesn't mean you failed. You've earned this. It will give you the opportunity to be more productive in business. Look at it that way.
More than that. It more time for:
self, baby, each other.
We have to normalize this.
Destene looks even more radiant after baby than before ❤
Yes Such a beautiful woman inside out 🌹

Destene my mother got my ears

She took me to our family

Definitely is ok to ask for help!! I got my daughter's ears pierced at 2 weeks old but that was 35 years ago and it was done in the doctor's office after vaccines. Nowadays I think they advise of waiting until they're like 6 weeks.
OMG...Océan is growing so fast...bless her ❤❤❤❤heart
I mean, 😢 be had a cleaning service (now friend) for nearly 20 years! It’s the best thing to do for your back and your time! They know what to do. My person started with an agency, but separated and began her own thing. I completely supported her getting all of the money.
Sometimes, it's good to get some help. You guys have done a lot. Continue the great work my beautiful 😍 family
Women go through so much. Wait till you hit menopause. The hair loss and hormonal imbalance continues. Keep smiling! ❤
I remember needing help with baby #5. That pregnancy was a c-section. That was a struggle. My husband at that time was working with CSX ( railroad) so he worked all day. I only took 2wks off of work. I don’t know if I could do it now, that was 13 yrs ago and I actually had 1 more baby. She 7 so not quite a baby. Bless your family❤
I know we lost but O-H! 😅
You’re so fortunate to be able to attend the game!
It’s okay to get help,we all need help at one point in our lives ❤❤❤
Ocean loves it when you sing to her❤
Happy Holidays 🎄🎅🏽🤶🏽
Love the home. I’ve always loved you guys. I’m sure you enjoy that view from your cozy home. Looks so nice.
I pierced my baby's ears after her 8 week check up and the pediatrician said it was okay. She barely cried. Sometimes pediatricians will pierce them too.
It's okay. Will get better little now. Ocean. Enjoy ever minute.
Destiny that flatware is absolutely gorgeous. I’m getting them as soon as I decide on the matte finish or the shiny. 🤔
Destene, I got my daughter ears pierced when she was 3 months old. She cried for a minute and she was done.💕
Love the fits, congrats on the new brand!
Keep loving on each other...❤ daddy little girl🎉
Hormones can do that to your hair. Especially DHT. I am reversing over a decade of hair loss but its male pattern balding and teach men on my channel how to get their high school hair line back naturally, no matter the scale of loss.
Im praying for progress in your healing
It’s ok to not be ok-we all have our moments
Sending you lots of love and encouragement. ❤

Do what you have to do. We all need help sometimes. Enjoy
You guys are doing alright! I know it's alot.
Pom is getting big my goodness ❤❤
Its usually 3 months to get her ears pierce she sounds so cute cooing teething already wow how time pass.Hi ocean as well you and brandon.The colors are so cool matching.
The side dish is also a lid for the bowl. We’re enjoying the set in white ceramic.
I actually waited until my oldest daughter was old enough to decide for herself if she wanted her ears pierced. I'm doing the same with my youngest.
LOVE THIS VLOG!! Sooo relatable ! Also do you have a link for the matching taupe set you were wearing , it is soooo cute !!
There's nothing wrong with asking for help. I think we all need help at some point. It's not a bad thing. Especially for first-time parents. ❤ I'm sorry, but I'm for Michigan, my home state! Baby Ocean is getting so big, cutie pie😊🥰
Hey my favorite married couple on UA-cam Brandon and destene it's understandable that need help Brandon and destene it's alright great parents you are 😊❤
Awww Brandon even has less energy when he's not with his fam. That was the most chill drip check he's ever done. haha
Destene your hair look beautiful brandon and destene with your beautiful baby ocean watching your video from Saturday 😊❤
When Destene said "it's just me and Ocean here for the weekend", it sounded like Ocean said "yeah". 😂😂🤣🤣🥰🥰
My daughter got her ear pierced by her Pediatrician at 3 months. Children's ENT offices will do them too. Being born in Ohio and raised in Columbus the Buckeye love made me miss home. I'm in TX now as well.

Such a beautiful family ❤️
