You got a dishwasher! 🎉

Jace having his pants on backwards solidifies that your whole family is highly relatable

“Maybe that is frowned upon, maybe I don’t care cause it’s all about survival.” Amen! This is me right now trying to survive with a two month old as a first time mom. Love your channel!

Aww! Jordan! Love that he supported you with trying YT again, and even plays along on camera. Love that you guys are both part of your family Bible reading routine, too

You are one busy mom! I'm glad that you were able to make an income through your channel so you could continue to stay home with your kids. I've been a stay at home mom for almost 24 years and my youngest is now 15. My kids have expressed how thankful they are that we were able to make it work for us. One income can be tough at times. Also, congratulations on the dishwasher!

I’ve been parenting for 48 years! First we had two homegrown children, then when we became empty nesters we started adopting and ended up with four more kids. In July 2024 our youngest turned 18 and that’s an incredible milestone for me at 66 and hubby at 73. We have stayed young with our kids but we are so excited to have adult time. We just went on holiday with NO kids for the first time ever! I love your channel.

Your family is so precious. ❤ I love that your husband said, "I'm so glad to be home." You're providing a loving, nurturing environment for your family. Great job, mama!

Being a young Mom is decades behind me but watching you play with your babies brought back a lot of good memories. Thank you for sharing.

You are a Rockstar!!! Thanks for inviting us into your world. Congratulations on the dishwasher. Mine is 60 years old, but I still love him. 😂

A tip on the early waking - ignore if you don’t want it. Naps in the day - don’t make the room dark so she knows that night time is different to day time. Or if you do want it dark in the day make sure you open the curtains before taking her out of the cot . So wake time is when it’s light. This starts to encourage waking up in the morning only when it’s light outside

You have the cutest baby I have ever seen! Even a twelve step program couldn't stop me from kissing that baby!!!!! Her cuteness is off the charts! Thank you for sharing that joy with all of us! Blessings over you and your precious family!!! ❤️

Skyla is a hoot and a half! I'm glad you got a dishwasher. They make it easier to get things done around the house. You're doing a wonderful job with the family, and your mom is such a sweet lady!

Literally watching this at 5 am because my 9 month woke me up to nurse. ❤ There with ya!

Ariel it's almost 11pm here in the UK and you've just reminded me to switch on my dishwasher! 🤣 Can't thank you enough as I would have had no bowls to eat my breakfast cereal tomorrow morning 🤣 xx

I would love to see more video/vlogs like this!! I feel like so many people try to make vlogs so structured and fancy. This was relatable, funny and entertaining!!

That pink tool... In Dutch, it's a "pannenlikker" which roughly translates to "someone who licks pans" 😂

I'm 63, Mom of 4 Grandma of 3 & I absolutely love your channel. You're realness of everyday life & family is so refreshing to watch. ✌🏼💗😄 to your family.

Girl, not here for the fly lady, here for you! Love your videos! Your personality just beams through. Love it. Also, I love that it was your husband’s idea to try KZfaq again. Love supportive spouses!

Thank you for this! I'm about to have my baby girl in June, and my son is 3 years old. I loved getting a look at your day because mine will be similar very soon! I also have a picky eater, you are doing a great job. I can also only make things fun as possible, can't force him to eat! your baby is beautiful!

My Mom is my best friend too, unfortunately she lives across the country. She is actually the one who found your channel! We adore you.

I'm glad you didn't give up on KZfaq. I just found you recently and I enjoy your videos so much!

Good morning! I don't have children and watch for your humorous delivery and bad-ass cleaning tips! 😊 However, CONGRATULATIONS on the dishwasher!!! 🎉🎉

I love this video! I'm finally watching it, even though I usually keep up with watching your videos, I somehow missed this one... My favorite part is your story about how you started your KZfaq channel and your determination to see it through for at least 3 years 🥰

Girl, when did you get a dishwasher??!! I really enjoyed this. Don't you just love that little look in their eyes when you walk into the room in the morning and say good morning to them?

You have such an adorable family! I've got to say I am quite a bit older than you, my kids are all grown and now have grandkids, but what you do is a real inspiration for young Moms. It seems these days every youtube Mom makes it look like they have it all together, house never dirty ready for insta pics, kids that never cry, or anything go wrong. They make it seem as if they are super human housekeepers and Moms that never rely on an screen time and make 3 well balanced hot homecooked meals a day all while running a youtube channel and caring for their kids, keeping a spotless house and never behind on laundry. It is completely unrealistic and makes young Moms feel like failures. You are a breath of fresh air showing real motherhood and housewife life, and that it is ok to just be human. And sometimes things aren't always perfect, and that is ok. It's real life and a real family. You represent what life is like for most young mothers for real. Thank you.

Try find some foods for your son's lunch that have less sugar, for my kids school lunches I pack 2 carbs, 2 proteins, 2 fruit/veg, icepack & a drink. When my son started growing a lot it became 3 of those things during his hungry phases. The carbs can be bread, muffin, crackers, the proteins can be meat, cheese, yoghurt, pepperoni, the 2 fruits can be applesauce, canned fruit, carrot sticks, sugarsnap peas, cherry tomatos, fresh or dried fruit, the drink is usually their water bottle or a little box milk, & sometimes I'll add some sugar-free flavouring to the water. Our school doesn't allow peanut butter so the sandwiches were meat, cheese & lettuce & a dab of ranch. Make a list of carbs, proteins & fruits/veg that you can pack easily & add to the list as you get more ideas or your ability expands to make different things. This also makes grocery shopping easier. The entire school year I make sure the house is stocked with these things, then the whole summer I purposely don't buy them so we get a break! :)

Thanks for sharing your faith and your family with us!

I just found you I am 70 years old and you have a wonderful personality you're someone I would enjoy to talk to and meet God bless you

My son is about 2 weeks younger than Skylar. It's so great seeing a mom with a similar age kid. And one not pretending their baby never cries! Thank you for sharing your day. It really made me feel better today. My day is basically the same, as I work full time and baby care full time.

We’re expecting in just 7 months! Thank you for sharing how your day looks! This helped me set my expectations for what life will soon be like around our home! Glad I found you on KZfaq. Thanks for being you!!

I like the idea of The Awkward Mom’s Mom. 😁

When I sent my kids with sandwiches (except PB and J) it would always come back home also so I started making DIY lunchables (slices of deli meat, fruit, sometimes cheese, crackers) and those get eaten all the time.

Loved getting to see your day! You are so relatable. Also I'm so excited for you to finally have a dishwasher!

Congrats on you for sticking through that tough time of nursing! Loved seeing your day.

Loved this 3 generations of awkward in one video! That "I'm Hungry for baby" baby squeal laugh!! 😊wonderful bedtime routine!

Oh honey, hearing that people were mean to you made me so protective of you. Thank you for sharing your story

I'm so glad you are using your sunscreen everyday! I wish I had started that in my twenties. And you are right, you will miss your forties LOL I'm 74 and I sure do! Congrats on the dishwasher🎉🎉🎉.

My "baby" turns 26 yrs d tomorrow. His brothers are 28 and 30 yrs now. These early mornings you're living seem like yesterday and 100 years ago all at once. Watch tv before school, pack what he Will eat. Enjoy your babies. NO thing is more precious than these little ones and these mornings.

I love your videos even though I'm not a mom. You and your family are beautiful and your videos are so wholesome. 💕 Always a positive boost to my day. 🥰 Thank you! And congrats on the dishwasher! 🎉

I don't blame you for getting all those cuddles and kisses.

Truly the most relatable mom on youtube. Thank you for bringing reality back

OMG!! I sing Your My Sunshine twice to my babies too before I laid them down! How cool! I'm a recent subscriber but I knew there was something I liked about you lol

Hi Awkward Mom's Mom!;) When my kids were little, I loved how close I got with my mom!

Thank you for sharing your beautiful family with us for a day. Congrats on the dishwasher!

I didn't even recognize the fact that you got a dishwasher until you mentioned it! Congrats! Although I immediately feel that dread of not having started it the night before 😮‍💨

Having a mom as a bestfriend is one of the greatest gift we can have in this toxic world.. we can tell her all our problems without judgement.. I always say the best therapy for me is MOM theraphy.. just hearing her voice makes me feel better..

Your a great mom ! I remember this very well ! 3 kids in 4 years ! I made it ! So will you:) one more thing . The relationship you have will your mom is very special! I lost my mom when I was younger and hope that one day I can have as special a relationship with my daughters❤

As a fellow stay at home awkward momma, with a babe going into toddler, and 2 other kiddos, I absolutely LOVE your videos!!! And I am so glad you decided to give this KZfaq thing a real go! I have learned so much from you and other momma's! And Skyla is soooooo adorable!!!! Those cheeks!!!!!Jace too! It's hard to get out after a baby, but Hun you are doing such an awesome job!!! Thank you for sharing all you do!!!❤

I recently fell in love with cheesy turtles. Love that you shared your story. Editing takes sooo long! So happy you shared reading the Bible with Jace!

I sing "you are my sunshine" to my happy peanut, too. Somewhere, I found a different version... "You are my sunshine, my only sunshine You make me happy when skies are grey You'll never know dear, how much I love you And I love you more every day." It might have been in a baby sign language book. I like the way this one ends and we learned some ASL at the same time.

I am so glad you persevered - I love your videos and your attitude is amazing 🤩 🎉❤

Gave it a like for spending your nap breaks editing videos. Thats dedication!

😂 that awkward mom's mom! Love it. I see where you get your sense of humor.

You are hilarious. I love your Channel. Your children are cute and adorable! And I think you should be a comedian 😊 Truly I think you could be on stage ❤

I'm pregnant with my first baby and this was so interesting for me to watch. I can't wait for whatever is ahead--the good, the bad, the boring/routine. 😊

Hello: I have the same dishwasher. You can use the delay feature when you finish dinner dishes. You can still add items and the timer continues! It's awesome.

That Awkward Mom, you are truly cool and inspiring! Your raw and honest portrayal of motherhood is refreshing and relatable, and your dedication to your family and your passion for creating content is truly admirable. Plus, you also know how to rock a mom bun like nobody's business. Keep being your awesome self and sharing your journey with the world!

My 2.5 year old is watching this with me. When she saw your daughter nursing, she had to nurse as well 😅. She still nurses to sleep

I just found your channel a few hours ago and I’m not sure if you already follow THE WADS… but I highly recommend watching Kim on KZfaq if you don’t. Like you, she has young kids including a young baby that is still nursing. I’m probably the age of your Grandmother, but I still totally enjoyed watching (especially) your Dawn and Dana videos!!! I’ve followed them for years and years (and years)… lol, I’ve probably tried to do the FlyLady system longer than most, but FAIL with that system. Years ago I started watch Steph, the SECRET SLOB and she encourages her viewers to make the FlyLady system your own… after watching your FlyLady video, MAYBE I’ll attempt it again. My brain doesn’t seem to think the way the FlyLady’s does. Anyway, I am happy your video popped up in my KZfaq thread today… I’ve binged a few hours, so I probably need to go shine my sink.🤣 I look forward to watching more of your videos. Ohhhh and I love your humor!!!

I also have a 9 month old that wakes up around 5:15am and I laughed so hard through your morning routine. We are basically the same human 😂. Also addicted to baby kissing.

You look a lot like your mom! So happy you are so close. That is awesome! It is called a spatula. Your kids are adorable and love Jordan's "words of wisdom."

I enjoy so much your videos. You are a great mom Your happy personality feels my heart with joy.

Such a fun video! Love your relationship with your mom. So incredibly sweet!

Congrats on the dishwasher. It is a fact that dishes get sanitized, you use less water, have time to make videos!!! I love your little family. Btw...your Mom looks so young!!!...you have good genes girl!

The best mommy KZfaq video I've ever seen. Real life, so fun, so loving. Recently found your channel and really enjoying your videos. The only person to make the flylady makes sense as well.

I was so excited when I saw you got a dishwasher!!!! Yay!!! I enjoy your videos so much. As a mom of older kids (19, 24, 28) you are doing an amazing job. Hang in there. It may not feel like it but time flies by so fast. You will treasure all the time you've spent with your little ones... you've got this... a day at a time! 🙂🙏

So cute! All of you! I just had to share that I cracked the CleanMama code. I read every free handout on her site and then read a few blogs before I realized the wipe the counters is shorthand for do the dishes, clean up the crumbs etc. I did buy a one month home keeping society and it was enough to figure out the four part system. Start with the daily habits. You can always do more but don’t do less. I really got it when I realized you can’t clean the counters when they are buried ! Then weekly tasks are part two. I love the built in Friday catch up day. I know that if say on Monday only one bath is done I can do it Friday. It turns out that these weekly tasks can be done in about a half hour. Which is about the amt of time to do a load of wash. So while washing is going on I do the task of the day. The third part is the rotation of less frequent jobs. May is baseboards. I hate cleaning my white baseboards. But knowing that I can ignore them for six more months is fabulous. I did the bath rooms baseboards on Monday and on Tuesday I dusted them and the washed them on the last three days. Thee last part really is more organizing and decluttering rather than cleaning. I’m doing this a closet,or drawer or cabinet at a time. I’m a senior with bad knees and I got to where FlyLady just didn’t work for me. Mopping and vacuuming and the changing sheets just wore me out. I hope anyone seeing this comment will try cleanmama as a way to divide chores over 6 days.

I noticed the dishwasher first thing! So happy for you!! You’re doing a great job! Keep it up!

I love that you are so real about what you do.

Thank you for sharing your YT story. I absolutely love watching your videos. Your family is beautiful and you are just a joy to watch.

Uhh! I love how relatable you are! You're super down to earth mommy letting us peek at your life. Thank you! :)

Girl, you have the most adorable little one's! Thanks for your totally amazing content! Take care!❤

Great video! Cute little ones! Glad you’ve got a dishwasher…I bought mine before I bought any other furniture, including a bed! Yup, that was a priority… Thanks for sharing your day with us, and thanks for making it a priority for your children to have a good spiritual background. It gives hope for the future.Have a wonderful weekend!

The relationship you have with your mom is so charming❤. Your husband and precious children are a blessing from God. Thank you for sharing your day.😊

Cherish every minute!! They grow up so fast. Those small habits reap big rewards! Especially love the Bible Time 📖 with your family. 💝 Thanks for sharing. 🥰

I just love your videos and while I have no children, I love seeing your everyday real videos You have great life tips!!! Am a new subscriber!!

You are so real, love it! First Time mom with 9 month old and you are me during my day!!!!

I loved seeing your routines, especially your nightly devotional time. I have 3 kiddos at home and we homeschool so I don't always do devotions because we do Bible in school. I've been feeling convinced to start separate devotions at night so I appreciate seeing how you're doing it❤.

Just a thought. When my boys were very little I used to play with them in the evening after they had dinner. From about 7:00 to 8:30 roughly. Quietly and just enough to keep them awake. Then when they were put down to sleep they did not wake up until 6:30 or 7:00. It made the world of difference for my sleep and they continued with this sleep pattern from then on. The 9 months or so that I did it was well worth it. saying that every child is different and you need to do what you need to do. Love your videos.

Great video! I liked hearing about your background and first experience with KZfaq. KZfaq suits you. It’s a good outlet for your creativity, intellect and sense of humor. Your relationship with your mom is awesome. Clearly she’s pretty funny, too!

I think I am you from another dimension LOL. Currently with an almost 4 years old girl and a 9 months old boy, my days look a lot like yours. Also, my daughter watched this video with me and I had to draw a face with ketchup for lunch today hahahaha.

Been there done that with the thrush for both of us. That is ROUGH! Girl you are so freaking cute and funny. I love your videos. Such a crack up... Totally adorable crack up. I love your personality. I totally watch your channel for that. I don't even care what the topic is!

❤💪😊 I really enjoy your videos. I like that you take the time to record the voice overs. I imagine that's more time consuming than sticking music over a time lapse - so I really appreciate you taking the time to do it.

I just stumbled upon your channel from the Minimal Mom. I feel you on soooo many levels, I've got a 3 year old and 16 month old, . Thanks for sharing your life with us!

I love seeing this realistic and relatable routine. I too am a zombie in the morning, but do wake to my kids and it keeps me frazzled and cranky until coffee! 🙈

I really loved hearing the story of how you got started doing KZfaq! I love your channel so much and I’m so glad you’re here! 🥰🥰

I Love your Channel 🎉❤ you have a beautiful Family ! And I find it so interesting, i’m from Switzerland and our culture and Routine are soooo different!

Love you Ariel, it was so great hearing your story about starting KZfaq too! You are a lot more organised and focused than you let on hehe I always feel so inspired and uplifted after watching your videos 😊

You're a great mom. It is beautiful, tough, awesome, tiring, and amazing! But then one day they're in their 30's and your house is clean. Enjoy!

I love your videos! I love your sense of humour - they always make me laugh.

So cute!! I’m a grandma who misses the morning routine. Your channel makes me happy🫶 thank you🙏

Wow! You can read my mind?? I want to see your day and here I am now. Thank you for making this so realistic and makes me motivated. Thank you, Ariel!

Your kids are so adorable!!! Those cheeks and smile on your baby!!! So cute ❤

I never liked sandwiches either! My mom packed cheese and crackers or a hardboiled egg with a tiny salt shaker. This was back in the dark ages before all the little packaged things we have today. 😂

Skyla is such a cutie! Congratulations on the dishwasher, I don’t know how you went so long without one! Your KZfaq story was very inspiring and I admire how diligent you are with your schedule to be able to edit. My sleep schedule was so bad I had to nap when my son napped and I got up when the baby woke up in the morning, never did my makeup. I wasn’t able to reach goals but it’s inspiring to see that it can be done. ❤

This may sound weird but this video really helped me in some way. I'm also 28 years old and as of right now, I'm trying to figure out my career path. Currently, I'm in the process of getting to work in a kindergarten. Your kids are amazing and I enjoy seeing how kids explore the world. I think it's awesome that you make youtube videos while maintaining your home and caring for your kids and your husband. Also, love the bible time!

I love this. My youngest is thirteen and my oldest is 21, but I still remember those early days. You are doing a great job!!

Rubber scraper. Spatulas are for flipping burgers and pancakes.

You crack me up! 🤣 Love your videos and love the fact that you're in my brain and speak it all out loud.

One of my favorite channels! As a mom of 2, you make me feel seen and heard even though I have no actual mom friends in real life 😅 I feel like you are my mom friend! So thank you for your videos ❤
