After my kids father passed away a few yrs ago, my life has been turned upside down. I lost the home he worked so hard to give us, had to go live with mom in her tiny place. That's when she got a stroke & couldn't go back to work. I am now in a 2 bedroom with her & my 5 kids. I've had a few emotional break downs but I'm still here. Hope that things get better for us both & every other single mom working hard to get by ❤

Mama to mama, you are killing it! I lived in a one bedroom with my two teenage sons. I made the dining room my bedroom!

Don’t ever feel shame for doing everything you can do for you and those babies. You are working hard to keep a roof over their heads, put good food in their mouths, clothe them properly, and you are showing them lots of love! There is no shame in that Mama! Give yourself a big pat on the back once in awhile. We forget, as single parents, that we deserve the accolades when we are kicking butt in the parental department! Especially when life is so difficult and stressful these days. You’re moving up- you said earlier in the vid that you moved to a better side of town but it’s still a one bedroom. Next step will be a bigger place. It just takes the time and patience that you clearly have. You are clearly a good mommy that puts her babies and their needs first. Don’t ever worry about what others may think or how they may judge you about how little you have or why you live a certain way. Your home is neat and tidy and that’s all that matters! We all get to choose how we want to live and if we don’t like how others live, then that’s when we just scroll past the channel, right! Keep up the great work! 🙏❤️ First time watching your channel. I’m a subscriber now!❤

The comments here is exactly what I'm expecting from humanity. Yes this was a double watch and double comment. Just feel so good to see us cheering each other on.

This is one of the largest and nicest ONE bedroom apartments that I have ever seen!🎉

And you got a fireplace. This apartment is SO nice!!! I love it.

I have two kids. They are grown men now but when they were little I split from my ex and we moved into a one bedroom apartment in a not so nice area of town. We lived there for several years. Things got better and better. I finally purchased my own home and things got better again. My advice is to save as much money as you can, live on the cheap, start asking God to help you realize your goals but you must also do your part. It will happen for you, you will be successful. Your children with your help will be successful. I will be praying for you. Keep your head up. God bless.

That living room would become my bedroom. Mommas gotta sleep well too.

I love this. It’s clean and minimalist. If you decide to, you could put yourself a sleeper futon where that pink toy is in the living room. Also, don’t feel like you need to apologize for not having “stuff”. This space is actually perfect. Good job, mama!

I’m a single mom of one. I made a studio apartment work for me and my kiddo for a time. You’re killing it! You’re out here taking care of your business and making sure your kids are provided for. Great job mama ❤

I think your tidy and minimal lifestyle is great. It helps kids feel calmer because your home isn’t chaotic. I admire your organization and cleanliness. Also, you’re a fantastic mom!

That's a beautiful apartment. I love how you sacrificed your comfort so the girls could have their own bedroom ❤

You are a great mommy! Baby I did the same thing you are doing now. When i had all 3 kids living with me 2 years ago, I slept on my couch. But eventually my middle son got his own apartment and then I moved into Anthonys old room. So, I understand how you feel, I had 3 bedrooms and I wanted each of my kids to have their own rooms. I didn't care where I slept as long as my kids were happy. I never wanted my kids to go without anything. Or look back at their childhood and feel I did them bad. They only reason I have a 3 bedroom cause my older kids have jobs and help pay rent. Love- Jessica

I’m downsizing as well and will be getting a nice 1 bedroom apartment soon. My son will have the bedroom and I’ll get me a sofa bed. Not worried about the opinions of others because I’m the only one paying my bills. I’m working on credit and my debt and I’m not spending a fortune on rent when i have other bills and a life to live. Nobody should have to work pay check to pay check just for bills

Gurl im from NYC....a one bedroom with three is a mansion....you do the best you can as long as you do what you need❤...no explanation needed....good job

Girl, preach. Last year I was listening to “Latino USA” on NPR and there was a woman who was renting CLOSETS for she and her kids to sleep in. She and her 6 year old son slept in one and she gave her teen daughter the other. I think of them often. We are so blessed!

Your kids will look back on this stage with fondness. That little apartment is so cozy and well laid out

as someone who’s mother gave everything for me to be comfortable, i respect you so much, you make sure your kids straight before yourself !! and as we all can tell ur kids are HAPPY just to be with you. that’s amazing mama keep up ur good work.

Make the dining room into ur room move the table by tht window ina living room

Your home is beautiful and neat. I was where you are when my babies were young and I was just so happy to have a roof over my head and a safe place for us. You are doing great!

Thank you for sharing. To these people who are judging, they obviously have never had to do what they must to take care of themselves. As long as you and yours are happy and well taken care of. Who cares. You are amazing and you keep doing your thing. A friend had to live in a tent with her kids for months. And she tri to give her kids to social services and they said no because they got a roof over her head and were well taken care of. You do you all day every day. Also, you have a one-bedroom with your kids and it has a full-size washer and dryer. You are living large. Great size bathroom and everything. people need to keep their comments to themselves. You know they would not say anything if they talked to you in person. Also, that closet is HUMONGOUS. You are slaying.

I personally like your place a lot. No clutter...just neat and cute. God is good! I'm happy for you and your beautiful children.💙😊

A closet in the bathroom, mind blown 🤯. I actually love that.

You have done. Great job!! You don’t have to have a bunch of things for it to be a home. You have created a beautiful home you and those babies!!🥰

Great job mom! My baby and i lived in a studio apartment for 3.5 years. He slept in the "big bed" with me. He had his own little dining and tv area. I had my little sitting area. We had our plants and he had tons of books and toys. I actually miss that space. But we definitely out grew it.

I am happy for you all and proud of you. You chose your family over everything!

That’s a beautiful spacey one bedroom apartment

I love these videos . One thing a mom will do is make it work

Amen! God out here taking care of the single mama’s. Amen!!! He did the same for me! Got me approved in less than 24 hours and they never ran my credit! Nobody but God! 💖🙏🏽 Great job mommy! I didn’t have my own room for a while when my daughter was smaller. I always gave her the bedroom. I will go without, as long as she is good. May God continue to bless you and your family dear.

Thanx for being a great Mommy , giving your treasured daughters the bedroom ! God's continued best to you all always !

I have OCD and am a minimalist, and I LOVE how clean and crisp everything is! It looks very peaceful and your little ones must feel so wealthy and abundant! Times are hard, but I am sure your girls have no idea! Beautiful!

I love your apartment. I lived in a 1 bedroom apartment growing up. My mom made it work and I have no regrets. Also, your places is huge. You can get a day bed and put it in the living room. Mom you need to sleep comfortable as well. You have a new subscriber.

Thank you for the realism in this video. It was truly a breath of fresh air to see on the platform. Good job, momma. 🎉

You are a good mother…Keep it up Hun🙏🏽❤❤❤❤

Very nice apartment. I like the black doors, and black and stainless steel appliances. Great job!!! Keep doing your best and stay positive and keep up your great personality. You have a great sense of humor!!! Keep praying over yourself and your babies and everything in your life. Amen.🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🤗🤗🤗🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

You are a loving mother who makes sacrifices for her children. May God continue to bless you and your babies in abundance . 🙏❤

That’s the thing with mamas, they gonna do whatever it takes, they gonna sacrifice whatever they have to…. Just to ensure the babies are GOOD ♥️

You are a wonderful momma. God bless your beautiful family.

Sis you can turn the dining room into your room! 🙌🏼

This is nice! I am in a 1 bdrm plus den. I was looking to move but I can't. My daughter is 4 and sleeps with me. We have plenty of room. So happy to see so many mamas making the best of their situation.❤

Mom, you are doing an amazing job.

Hey! You have a roof over your heads and you sound like an amazing mom. Hope you are continuing to be blessed, as you deserve. ❤

I think you took a one bedroom apartment and turned it into a beautiful and cozy home for you and your babies. I love it!

Sometimes you do what you have to do and as long as you have clothes food and somewhere to stay for you and your children that's all that matter and whatever your situation is I guarantee you it will get better I love the apartment tour❤

Good job mama, you made it work for you and your babies. What sucks is more than likely the people working at those apartment complexes probably don't even make 3-4x the rent. And the excuse that they want you making 3-4x the rent for security is BS because you can have more than enough income and still decide not to pay your rent, while the person who barely makes 2x the rent may pay their rent on time faithfully.

I’m in a similar situation mama, this is so unbelievably relatable. We’re all just doing our best ❤

Hello Alexis! I just found your channel and subscribed! I am 51 with 2 grown daughters and my youngest lives with me. Things are sooo expensive, it gets hard sometimes. You have a very nice apartment and you did what you had to do and I don’t blame you! Great video! Definitely hold your head up! And absolutely, we go thru different seasons for different reasons. I admire you! Keep going girl! 🙌🏾🤗🤍

I wish my mom would have sacrificed for me instead we lived in her parents home I never had a bedroom until I was 17. You are an amazing woman you love your kids

I’m really praying that the dad steps in to help you all. Shouldn’t have to be all on you. You kinda sounded like you were blaming yourself a little towards the end “they didn’t ask to be here..” they didn’t but you are NOT and SHOULD NOT be the only one responsible for them. On the flip side, the kids looked happy and well mannered so I think you are doing a good job. Practice giving yourself some grace. I struggle w it myself but I am learning what that means.

Beautiful cozy apartment! I love it! Keep making you and your girls happy! ❤♥️♥️

You are a good mommy, putting your girls first. Your girls look happy; the apartment is spacious.

The apartment is wonderful and they take pride in their home. God bless you and your children. ❤❤

I have two boys and I have been thinking about getting a one bedroom, and letting them share it. Thank you for sharing ♥️

Mom absolutely too cute. I raised 3 dtrs alone and we made do with what we had. Me too made sure they had their own rm and I could get the couch. They're grown now but you made me reminisce and you reminded me of me. You're apartment it too cute.

You are an amazing mom. Your girls are very lucky. Looks like you work really hard to make a good life for your family. Its a tough job these days 😊

I love your space and the way you have it set up … z you will be. Available to live peacefully and abundantly for a long time please stay in your 1 bedroom until you save and became a home owner your kids will understand completely when their older while yall sitting in your 4 bedroom house with a back yard🎉

My mother was a single mother of 2 and I grew up in a one bedroom apt in the HOOD of NYC that makes this one bedroom look like the Ritz. I say all of that to say that those days were simpler times and I look back fondly on them. Children can be blissfully ignorant to the struggle behind closed doors and only remember the times that you made special for them & the safety and love you made them feel. The memories of old pre-war apt I grew up in gives me such nostalgia and warmth now when I think back to how my mother would make a camping game with sleeping bags (I had no idea we had them because the heat went out in the building) or her making 'snow cones' by putting cups on the window sill to collect snow those cold winter days (because we didn't have the extra money to buy any frozen treats). It's only because I am adult now that I look back and realize just how 'poor' we really were and how much of the fond memories I have now, have a sad reason behind it. I just wanted to let you know that you are doing an amazing job. Your girls are loved and cared for and have a roof over thier heads and they seem happy! Just seeing thier little barbie house reminded me of the one my mother made for me out of cardboard! Don't worry about what you cannot provide for them now, in due time everything will come, but for the right now, you are making some fond memories for your girls.❤

Ya'll keep saying don't be ashamed, what's to be ashamed of for the mother? The government should be ashamed based on the beauty of that home its probably 1500 for that one room. Great job on the space utilization and you have a beautiful family ma'am.

Your place is cute, I like it. I don’t like clutter either. And it’s so neat with all those babies, you did a good job. Your babies are blessed to have a mother like you. Good job! 👍🏽

You got this. You are a great mom they looked loved 🥰. They are in safe place. Things will get better stay strong your doing well

Beautiful place

I can tell that you are a good mother , I can tell you put them first the kids look happy and healthy . The apt is very clean and specious , times are hard and you did what is best for you and your kids .

Girl tell us ghost stories!! Those videos be blowing up! AND you have footage! I’m intrigued Also sending you nothing but love in you journey!💕💕💕

Your are a great mom this is what mom's do they make it happen you made it work and that's it just know God is working and making a way Gods Got Yall

You’re a great mom.

Your apartment is nice! I can tell you’re a good mom❤️ May God continue to bless you. New to the channel

As long as you're providing a safe loving home for your family u doing GOOD!! America has too much excess!!! It's unnecessary b.s. ! That's why ppl broke n strugglin In other countries sharing one bedroom is normal Multiple families share homes with multiple bedrooms We honestly dont NEED our own rooms ! When my son was small we shared a 1 bedroom apt just fine I actually loved it. On weekend we would "camp" in the living room building tents with sheets and watching movies Lol The older I get, I'm truly seeing that the simple life brings so much happiness 😊

Yes I just became minimal this year best decision of my life.

Your little babies face when you panned in was too cute!

Glad I found your channel I just went apartment hunting and wanted to see someone living in a small space with kids to see if I could manage. Thanks

So clean and organized

Girrrrl, I see so many lovely spots like yours and wish TX was so helpful to us here, especially solo moms. Ur 1 bedroom is very -retry, spacey mad literally as good as my whole ass 3 bdrm. I’m with u , when it comes to just get what u an in reasonable means f-r roof over ur kids .ur heads ❤️ amen 🙏!!!!!

This is actually a beautiful apartment

Your place is nice and your children are adorable. I grew up in another time (60's & 70"s) but it was very normal for families, because most had big families, where several of the kids shared one bedroom. It's ridiculous with what is being required of people for rent. Very nice and thank you for sharing! I also, didn't have much like nice vases and stuff displayed, because I also didn't want to worry or get upset about my kids breaking things it's just stuff. I am close to retirement, and I still do not want a bunch of "stuff". Very happy for you. God Bless!

Wow! Your apartment is beautiful! You do what you have to do! It’s only temporary! God is good all the time! Good luck in your new apartment!

A big pink rug would look great in the girls room. Thanks for the video ❤

You’re doing what you have to do! Cheers, to you

I actually like your appointment if you have it set up real nice for having three kids congratulations my condolences to seeing your husband

This is a nice one bedroom apt. I think you have enough space. My mom had 3 girls and we had 3 beds in a row

Your apartment is very nice!!! It was nice of you to give the kids the room🥰 You are an amazing mom❤

Nice cozy ,clean Apt.😊❤❤❤

Listen what matters is that you have a home and it’s yours. New to your channel and love your positivity. I’m also about to move soon from a 3 bedroom small hole and might have to downgrade to a 2 bedroom townhouse. Rent is insane and landlords suck out here

I live in a one bedroom apartment with my two kids. The bedroom is very spacious enough to fit my bed queen and my kids twin beds. You are blessed and I enjoyed watching the tour! Happy apartment searching this year. 🎉❤️

Beautiful space, i love the fact that your place is not cluttered.

The Lord loves a humble and grateful heart like yours. Many blessings to you and your girls.

You are an awesome mom !

I forgot I was even watching a apartment tour with the 7min introduction 😂😂 started thinking it was a motivational video

Your children are blessed to have such a wonderful lady as you for a mum, the home and you have made lovely for you and them .I wish you good luck and health .

It looks so nice I really love how you keep your home :)

And a patio area? Yes!!! This is better than a lot of multple bedroom aparetments. looks awesome.

This is sooo cozy warm and homely, love the apartment and how you have made it work. most important thing is they have a loving caring mum and thats worth more than a mansion! hugs from Australia

If needed from that size, your closet could be a bedroom, in itself. crazy to think what a great size one bedroom.

Absolutely love this and it’s a very good idea things are so damn high u have to do what works for u

Hello, it's good to see you are a loving mom. Your children do come first. You have a nice layout to your unit. Washer & dryer that's a bonus! You are right you don't need a lot of furniture. I would get a accent chair and floor lamp. I don't like end tables take up too much space. Keep it clean and cozy. For your sleeping arrangment they have ottomans that letout to bed. How nice is that. A seat in the day. A bed at night. Much love to you and your beautiful family. Keep doing you. 🙏❤️
