I miss your videos. You definitely made me feel less alone in motherhood, especially since you are also a SAHM but I highly respect your decision. You are a wonderful momma. Enjoy your time with your babies. ❤️❤️❤️

I am a 28 year old mom of 1 and I found your videos last year when I was pregnant. I loved all of your relatable mom content! But I absolutely understand. You never get this time back with your kids! Enjoy it. ❤

I’ve commented this before… I found your page when KiKi Chanel made fun of Hawk’s name. I followed you just out of support because that was so shitty of her… then I got hooked. I have no kids, never want kids, and I’m painfully single. 😂 I have absolutely nothing in common with you, but I always found so much peace and joy in your videos. 😭

Thank you for the videos you did post on YT. I’ve followed you for a while and you’ve been so helpful from pregnancy tips to parenting ideas. I’ve started visiting my library because of you! I definitely understand your reasons for stepping away.

I found your channel several years ago, and you quickly became my favorite. You were so real and down to earth, and your channel became like a comfort show. Lol , I definitely miss your videos and being to go back and watch old ones, but I completely understand. You also got my back into reading with your book videos, so thank you for that as well ❤

Good for you ❤️. Your KZfaq presence will be missed - but being able to be present for your kids is a far greater accomplishment, and will be much more rewarding. Thank you for keeping us company through our earliest years of motherhood!

Thank you for the update 🥺 I will miss your content but I am so glad you found what works for you and your family ❤️ I have related to you so much over the years and your tips have definitely made my motherhood journey a little easier so thank you ❤️ “See you when I see you” definitely put me in my feels a little bit 😭

I figured this was coming but still so sad to see you go! You're my favorite youtuber, thank you for letting us tag along with your life for a couple of years! And I'm hopeful that you might come back for a reading wrap up now and then because I still haven't figured out how to add you on Goodreads! 😅

Ive only just found your youtube channel and I'm so glad because your videos are so lovely and refreshing to watch. Im sad there arent anymore coming up but im enjoying working my way through the ones you have already put up! Wishing you all the best ❤

I definitely will miss your content!! Totally understand your reasoning for pulling back though! Wishing you all the best ♥️

I’ll miss you!! I love your channel and you’ve helped me feel so much more confident as a mom!!!

I will miss your content ♥️…especially the book reviews! Will you have your Goodreads still? Can I follow you there? 🫣

Found you when I was pregnant with my first during Covid and you were always so raw in motherhood. It was refreshing and inspirational for someone that had no clue what the heck she was doing, so thank you for that. Really proud of you for making this decision for you and to be the best version of a mom that you can be for your kids! All the love to you and your beautiful family ❤️

Sad to see you go but I totally understand! I have been subscribed to your channel for a few years now and I have enjoyed every one of your videos. Thank you so much for all the time and energy you've poured into your videos throughout the years, we truly appreciated them. I have scaled back drastically with showing my kids as well on my channel so from one mama content creator to another, I totally understand! Enjoy all this time with your kiddos!

I’m a sahm with kids of a similar age and your videos always made me feel less alone, especially during Covid lockdown! Totally respect your decision to protect your kids. I hope one day you’ll come back with more advice or list videos (kind of like Emily Norris) Enjoy your time with your kids ❤

You are seriously one of my favorite people to watch because I have so much in common with two under two, being an introvert and reader! I’ve enjoyed watching another mom and hearing your thoughts on things has helped me not feel so alone. But I am also so happy that you are doing what is best for you and your family! Wishing you all the best ❤

Thanks for your thoughtfulness Alliy. I do miss your videos, but I know you’re doing what is right! I’ve felt a connection with you because I live in NOCO, and your kids are like 1 year older than mine so I got to see what your experience would be right before I entered each new stage. Take care and best to you! ❤️

I will really miss your videos and seeing what youre up to! You're one of the very few mums on here that are so relatable and ive loved watching your videos as a comfort when im home with my babies! Wishing you all the best 💕

I’ve enjoyed your mom vlogs because I have a toddler too, but what I’m going to miss the most are your book videos! You inspired me to read fiction books and I loved to watch your recommendations every month

Thanks for the update… I will miss your videos so much. You were my fav! 🥹 but I totally understand.

Thank you for being soooo real and honest! This is so rare in this day and age. I respect you so much for your decision and think you’re doing the best thing for you and your family ❤️

Wow… refreshing lol your honesty including feeling it with the loss of income. Thank you for putting your kids first. And you look like you’re just glowing. Beautiful. Good luck with everything ❤

Will miss your videos but always respect a parent for doing what is best for their kids! Happy to hear overall it's been a blessing to step back!

I'll miss your VLOGs! I started watching when I was pregnant with my son during the pandemic. Wishing you well!

Sad to see you go but also totally understand why! Thank you for sharing what you did at the time, your videos have been so helpful for me as a new mama and it was so wonderful to watch them in the thick of pregnancy and especially in the newborn stage! You really made me feel less alone and more prepared to take on each day. Enjoy this time with your family and thanks again ❤❤

The way I audibly gasped when I saw this video pop up 😭 I can totally sympathize with your decision and am so, so happy you are doing what feels right for you and your family, even though it doesn’t sound like this decision was made lightly. Your realness and honest takes on life, books, motherhood, etc. will certainly be missed…it has been so fun following along on your day to day! And for me, I think it is just that-I know you expressed concerns about feeling self-focused as a motivation for filming, but I think it’s just genuinely fun to share and follow along with peoples lives! Wishing you nothing but the best, and I will certainly be here if you ever decide it feels right to return!

Sad to see you go but totally understand your reasons! I will miss keeping up with you!! ❤

Aww so sad to see you go. You will be missed but i completely understand! It’s weird because i was just having this convo with my husband today about creating content with kids and whether it’s something i really want to keep doing!

Very sad to see this update, but was pretty sure it was coming. I will miss your videos as you were my favorite! I started watching a few years back when I got pregnant with my second with 20 years between him and my first 😁and enjoyed all of your experiences that you shared. Definitely understand the wanting to step back both for privacy and just the time with your littles. If you do come back someday in the future I will absolutely be one that is watching! Take care!

youre so pretty Alliy ! we'll miss you on youtube xx

I have a one year old with another on the way, and your videos have been such a lifeline at times. Not only are they helpful, but you’re the only mom I watch on KZfaq that I connect with so fully. I just want to thank your family for letting us into your lives how you have. Wishing you all love and happiness ❤

Sad to see you go but totally understand. At the same time saw it coming it was slowly happening. I have never commented on your video’s just wanted to tell you, i will miss them. Your videos were ones i looked for every week. And that was for you, you are one of the only creaters i watch because of you, your advice your hauls etc. I very rearly watched to see your kids (as adorable as they are) and as close as i felt having kids the same age. Hope you come back refreshed and comfortable with doing it again ❤

Hey I totally get what you are saying. It’s the season you are in with your kids. I’ve always found your content relaxing to watch and I appreciate you are more real than most. I’ll miss the vlogs( I never comment usually but tho I should). Enjoy your little babies

Sooo sad but I totally understand! We will miss your videos❤

I'm so happy that you're happy! I'm definitely going to miss your videos but it's not about me. Congratulations! Lots of love! ❤

I have loved keeping up with your family over the years! I have a daughter a little older than your kids & it’s been nice not feeling so alone in motherhood. I feel like I relate a lot to you, and the way you think and feel about things….but really I don’t know you personally. I do agree, the internet is a weird place because of that. Viewers really feel like they get to know the creator. Honestly, I’ve seen more of peoples life online than some of my real life friends. (But yes, I do agree you’ve been more private than others.) I think a lot of people forget though that you don’t know us. You don’t know who’s on the other side of the screen. Your babies and their privacy is the most important thing! And it’s important to enjoy these years with them. I will be sure to follow you over on Instagram and of course stay subscribed here! I wish you all the best & I hope for clarity and peace in your decisions. Go with what feels right, everything will work out and life will go on beautifully. 🖤

Have been missing & will really miss your videos! But as a mom of kids the same age, i 100% get it. Your reasoning makes so much sense & i think I’d feel the same way

I totally understand where you are coming from. You are a great Mom! Someone I have looked up to (even though I am older than you, hehe). You have made me feel so much less alone though motherhood and will miss your content dearly.

Alliy! I just want to say how much I also love your content that isnt your kids! You have a lot to share and i love your opinions on product reviews and thoughts on life. You were my 1st mommy vlogger i found and im so sad to see you go. Will still stay subbed in case life brings you back. Wishing you and your family well as you head into the holidays. Bye girllll😢

I like many of the other commenters, found your videos when I was a new mom during the pandemic. I I cannot even begin to say how thankful I have been for your videos, your advice, and your honesty. I completely respect your decision although I will miss your content! Thank you for being you!

I miss watching your videos so much because you were definitely my favorite/comfort channel, but I also have sooo much respect for you in protecting your kids and their privacy & wanting to spend more time with them! I (someone who has like 200 FB friends/insta followers lol) have even questioned posting my kids and stuff about them online. I used to share so much because I knew all those people personally, but I completely deleted all of my past stuff and have really limited what I now share. Even tho I do know them all personally, it’s still my kids and I feel like even 200 people don’t need to know much about them. The internet is a crazy place and we don’t really know the long term effects of being online from a young age. Parasocial relationships are really interesting to me because I have been so sad not seeing videos from you, and when I noticed you deleted most of your past videos I felt more sad knowing I couldn’t even go back and watch those. It’s crazy because we have messaged a few times on insta, but for the most part it’s just me thinking of you as my friend when you don’t really know me. But it’s somehow really made me feel less alone hearing your journey and struggles and experiences so I just want to say thank you for all that! It’s also made me reflect a lot on who I’m following and what I’m taking in on social media! I hope you know if you ever do decide to come back some day and either share your own stuff without involving your kids or book videos, I’ll always support and watch! I have a feeling lots of others would agree too ❤️ You’re an amazing mom and it shows in this decision, even if we will miss you! 🥰

I found you towards the end of 2020 when I was pregnant with my first baby, and have really enjoyed watching your videos and hearing your thoughts! Also I got into reading this year because of your book videos. I’m on track to read 24 this year, which is huge for me! LOL Totally understand where you are coming from on this though, and wishing you all the best!😊 We will all miss you!

I’m feeling all these same things. I have to keep reminding myself it’s not all or nothing, and I can post when I feel like it or completely pull back and it’s okay ❤️ if your followers truly care they will respect whatever choices you make as far as content you’re comfortable with🥰 You’re doing great!

This was so heartwarming to hear!! I am definitely going to miss your videos… but I think what you are doing is amazing. I wish we lived in the same place so we could be real life friends 😂

You are one of my favourite creators, and while I'm sad to see you go, I absolutely understand and support your reason why! Your family comes first, always. Will you still be doing your reading wrap-up videos? Those were always my favourite!

I found your videos when I was pregnant with my first and Hawk was just a little guy; I've been following you since and now have 2 under 2 of my own. Though I'm about a decade older, I've always found your content extremely helpful and relatable (probably doesn't hurt that we live in Denver) and it was great to have your videos for this stretch of life. There aren't very many youtube moms that I follow and a lot of that is because so many feel very cringy and exploitive of their children. You've always questioned how much you should share and kept it from becoming that sort of content which is part of what is great about your channel! This seems like the natural evolution for you and, though I'm very sad to see you go, I'm happy you've decided to do what is best for you and your family. Thank you for the time and effort you put into this for so long! It was much appreciated.

I respect this so hard. I miss your content and always loved your perspective on things. I relate to you so much, and this is the same choice I would have made so I guess that just proves how similar our parenting journeys are 😂 so much love to you ❤

Alliy! Your skin is glowing! I will selfishly miss all of your recommendations and advice BUT I'm so happy for you and your family. You always cracked me up with your videos just being yourself and you are so relatable. I'll miss you even though yes it is weird that I as a stranger will miss you. Probably circles back to the whole conversation. Haha. ❤ Stacy-

Please know I loooove your content and your videos! and I completely understand and respect your decision!! enjoy life and your kids outside the internet ❤❤

Ugh I’m so sad like a friend just moved away and you know you’ll never see them again and the relationship won’t ever be the same as when you lived close. I loved watching your videos and always got so excited seeing new vlogs. I have 2u2 a little you get than yours and so having you as an example and seeing what your kids were going through and more importantly, how you handled it, was so nice and reassuring and your openness was so refreshing! Sometimes it’s hard to just say all those thoughts even to people you love. BUT - I am 29 with 2 kids and have been off social media for about 3 years now. I still watch stuff but don’t post myself or my kids and it is so freeing. I respect your decision and will continue to follow along on IG as long as you decide to keep sharing 💗

Thanks for all your content. Found your channel when pregnant with my 2.5 yr old. Will miss you! You got me reading more :)

I will miss your videos but completely understand and respect this decision!

Thank you for sharing the time with us that you did, please don’t ever question that it did have meaning and helped people. I found your page the day after I found out I was pregnant with 2 under 2 (surprisingly) and was so scared and shocked. Following along with your journey helped me not feel so scared & alone. Please don’t ever think or feel that you are obligated to share anything with anyone that you don’t want to! You never signed a lifetime commitment to share your life. We are always growing and changing and that is normal & great that you are experiencing the growth & relief! It’s ok to feel happy & sad about the same thing. So I will miss your content AND I’m happy for you and understand your choice. Just like you can be bummed about some parts AND relieved about other parts. You can make this choice now AND come back in another way in the future if you choose. 💞

I am so sad!! I have loved watching you for years now and you have definitely been that person for me to learn from and relate to as I became a mother, soon to have 2 under 2. But, at the same time, I completely understand and respect it. I have a very small presence online and have never posted about my kids. I was hoping you were just taking a break but I get it. You will be missed! ❤

I've loved relating to your content as a stahm but I completely understand every feeling and choice here. Still supportive and grateful for your happiness!!! 😊

I have missed seeing your videos pop up but I completely respect the boundaries you have around your kids’ privacy. I think it’s super healthy and I’m glad you feel more free now ❤

Awwww I totally understand but at the same time will miss you. You are so relatable and I love that about you. Watching you was like hanging out with a friend who I don’t have because I am in this mom life world currently and never really get to hang out much with friends anymore. I understand your reasonings and wish you the very best. I’m selfishly hoping you do find a way to come back to KZfaq though, in a way that feels right to you.

I have so much love and respect for you. I have always really looked up to you. During my first pregnancy, watching your video about your induction with natural pain management gave me so much confidence in myself, and helped me to achieve my unmedicated birth. You were truly a mentor to me. As someone that has kept my son off social media, I'm so happy you've changed your stance and that you've put so much thought into protecting your children. You are an intelligent woman and a wonderful mother. I wish you and your family the best, thank you for sharing your wisdom and experience with us ❤️

I found your channel while I was still pregnant and loved your videos. You'll definitely be missed but I hope you find peace and happing in what's coming for you and your family 😊

I have always looked forward to your videos and will miss them! But I respect you for doing what you want/need to do for you and your family. I’m sure there are many other creators that feel the same way but don’t ever do it. Moms have to do what they know and think is best for their babies and you’re doing it. I think I found your videos like 2 years ago? I’ve just always felt like you could be a friend or something because we’re so similar! I’m SAHM and it’s comforting to know other moms are out there doing the same stuff so thank you for being there even though I’ve never met you lol! Just know you’ve made a difference in my days and thank you! Enjoy the freedom and your family ❤️

Going to miss you ! ❤ but seeing how you felt, it’s for the best!

You look absolutely gorgeous in this video! I have always loved your videos! You will be missed!

I will miss your videos Alliy! You were the only KZfaq mom I really kept up with, and I always found you to be very inspiring as I navigated my new mom journey. I am pregnant with my second and going for a VBAC with this baby, so I am glad you left some of your birth advice & prepping for two videos up for me to go back to. As much as I will miss you, I am glad you are doing what feels right to you right now 🩷 Also - are there any mom KZfaqr’s who you feel create similar content to your who you would recommend we check out? Thank you! 🩷

Sooo so sad to hear this but completely understand all your reasoning for doing so! 😢 having your personal space showed to the world on this big platform would be scary. You have to do what’s best for you and your family! We will miss you lots!!! ❤❤ so glad I found you two years ago ❤ hugs and the best wishes for your family!

I really miss your videos but I wish you the best ❤

I’m glad you’re taking care of yourself and putting your family first! I’m sure it was such a hard decision!! But of course you know what’s best for you. If you did ever want to just make book videos - I would watch! Love your book videos too! But also do what feels best!! Good luck!!!

I found you when I was pregnant with my first son who will be 4 in February. I really enjoyed your content because it is so relatable but I understand trying to find a balance. I work from home and have both of my sons home with me most days. It's hard! I found a lot of product and book recommendations from you that have helped me tremendously aside from just feeling like someone else was going through what I'm going through. Hopefully you'll come back one day but it was fun while it lasted! 💙

I just found your channel and honestly I totally respect your decision. I’m pregnant and don’t want to put my kids on any social media platforms but I also do KZfaq but only talk about mindset in my language so keeping them out xx

Sad to see you moving away from KZfaq. I love following your life updates. Hope you will surprise us with videos here and there.

Will miss you but totally respect your decision. You are a fantastic mum ❤

Sad to see this you go, I will miss your book reviews and seeing your smiling face when talking about the books you really enjoyed. You are the same age as my oldest daughter and it was nice hearing your thoughts on things. Enjoy your free time with your kids and husband, time goes by so quickly. I hope the kids have a great Halloween 🎃 See you when we see you! 👋

I’m happy for you and your family! 100% respect your decision. You will be very missed. I found you when I was pregnant with my first and you where pregnant with hawk and again was pregnant at the same time as you with wren. I have very similar views with my parenting values, treating my children with respect and it was nice watching your videos and feeling on the same page with another mom. I truly wish you and you family the absolute best and all the happiness. Ps I will also miss the book content. You definitely inspired me to get back into reading and now it is one of my favorite past times haha

I miss your videos but as a mom of littles I respect your decision 100%. Proud of you for staying true to you and your family. ❤️

I can’t say I didn’t see this coming from your recent content, but I loved everything you put out. You were so down to earth and more relatable than “family channels”. I respect your decision and think it’s best to protect your kids privacy. I know your book videos got fewer views, but I hope you continue to share your reads with us, even if it’s not here. I loved so many of your recommendations.

I knew this video was as comming and I’m so sad about it. 😞 I’ve been checking your other accounts to make sure you were ok ! I’ve been watching your videos for years (since you were pregnant with hawk)

I’m sad to see you go. Your videos helped me while I was a new mom. Wishing you the best and glad you’re following your gut and protecting your kid’s privacy.

Good for you. Doesn’t have to be a good bye forever. It’s just not the right season of your life. And wanting to protect your kids and their privacy is a very good reasoning. Thought about starting a channel many times to have some extra income but it comes at a cost too. Only watched til minute 18 cause I gotta get some sleep but I want to wish you and your family all the best. Enjoy your kids while they’re young and in every phase that is to come. Time flies! My babies are 5 and 7 years old already and about to have my 3rd any day now. Greetings from Alberta, Canada 🇨🇦

Social media has absolutely desensitized oversharing. Good for you for pulling back and finding what YOU are actually comfortable with for your family 🎉

Genuinely so sad to see you go 😭 but I understand and respect where you’re coming from. My son and yours were born like a month apart. Your channel has truly been my favorite since you started documenting your pregnancy. I have also started scaling back what I share online regarding my kids. Its such a tough balance. I wish you nothing but the best and I’ll really miss your content!

I will say out of all the KZfaq moms I follow you have always seemed to respect your kids boundaries and respectful of how much you share. Totally understand where you are coming from and I’m so happy for you. Selfishly I’m sad lol because you were so helpful as a new mom, so authentic and relatable. Wish you and your family the best 💕.

I’ll miss your content! Your reasoning makes sense though. ❤️

I HIGHLY respect your decision to put your kids first. You won’t regret it in the long run. 💗

I was so happy when I saw you posted a new video but so sad to hear this may be the last 😢 I found you when I was pregnant with my first ( I think it was a stroller review) and now I have 2 little ones. Happy you are doing what is best for you and your family, but if you choose to come back, we will welcome you with open arms ❤️

I totally used to want to do KZfaq cause of people like you and it’s so validating why I did not. I think it shows your character and your kids come first. It totally seems draining and I also don’t want to be on my screens while I’m with my kids. Your content was so great and relatable but I think you’re making the best choice for your family!

I enjoyed your vlogs but I think you made the right choice. I personally don't post on social media at all anymore and it feels good to live for yourself if that makes sense. Take care!

You will be missed! Wishing you and your family all the best! It sounds like you are making the right choice for your family and I think it is natural to be really interested in something and then less interested. That is ok! I also think you have the skills and knowledge to do content creation again in the future if you change your mind. ❤

Alliy! You have been missed and will be missed ... BUT...Thank you for sharing this! I completely understand what you are saying and totally respect your decision. I have been wanting to make a KZfaq channel for many years, but I would be hit with an insane anxiety attack and couldn't figure out why. As I watched this video, it clicked! I love my privacy and my family's privacy. The thought of someone being invested in my children's lives makes me very uncomfortable. Thanks again and God bless your family!

Awe, but I understand. I will miss you and your videos. 🥰

I am gutted as a sahm who’s moments for myself we’re spent viewing your channel. I hope you come back in the future. I was very sad the entire video but I’ve been feeling it coming for a while. I hope you’re doing well and are in a good place. You will be missed and your absence has been/will be felt deeply.

Respect you so much! Will for sure miss you! If you do come back, I'll be there for you

I truly can not tell you how HAPPY I am for you & YOUR KIDS!!!! I have watched you since I had my son in 2021 (now I have him and my daughter) and I can promise you all the mamas will be fine without you sharing content. Share it with people near you and form real personal relationships instead. You are coming to a realization that I wish I could beat into the heads of my single friends.

I found you when I was pregnant with my first and you were pregnant with Hawk. Hawk was born 3 days before my first and Wren was born 3 months before my second. I felt like we were friends, navigating motherhood/2under2/life in pandemic together. I even started reading again bc of you. Will definitely miss you and your family. I’d love if you came back intermittently (either on here or IG) for more home reno or books reviews too 💕

Can't I just keep my monthly book videos?! lol

Thanks for helping set a good example for other moms on the internet and keeping your children's health and safety first!

Who are some of your favorite KZfaqrs ?

I really respect your decision to keep your life and kids private. I would be just happy if you did book reviews or even like sit down videos of just you or maybe just fashion videos. Doesn't have to be vlog style even though they are my fave but any content from you I'll be grateful for. Especially love the book videos!! I am totally at this point in my life after having my first child where i am all about privacy which is why i just deactivated my social media accounts this week i feel like we are on the same page so i completely understand. You're such an amazing mom for putting them first and i love that youre doing this for them and i know that this was your job, so for you to quit your job for them is amazing i applaude you.

I saw this coming but it was still such a shock and disappointment to see this video come up. Thank you for making me a youtube regular... I never really watched any account regularly until you. You helped me navigate my early motherhood with your videos and you inspired me to get back into reading again. I totally understand and respect your need for privacy. I'll be here if you decide to return in the future ❤️

Now I know why I liked you so much! Thank you for being real. Whatever you decide, God bless ❤️

I think as most of your audience are moms we totally get why you’re making this decision for yourself and your family. Just wanted to share that it was really nice to wind down at the end of the day, turn on one of your vlogs to see another Mom go through similar things and feelings. Thanks for sharing so much, especially your new home decor because it totally gave me so much inspiration. Sad to not have Vlogs to look forward to anymore but hopefully we can see you and your family thriving over an Instagram! ❤ all the best!!!

Sad but understandable. You've always got to look out for you and your family's wellbeing. You will be missed.
