Can you do an updated budgeting video now that you're a family of four? I just watched the one of you and Andrew from 2013😆
So happy to have found your channel ❤️ You and Andrew are doing such a great job raising your twins. I can't wait to be a mom one day! PS yay for more babies!!
You mentioned you wanted to have more children. But do you know when you would start trying again? Do you want June and Violet to be toddlers first before having more babies?
I love how honest and real you are ❤️. I just love all your videos and Instagram posts. It's nice seeing you grow over the years. You're an amazing mom!
Your hair always looks amazing!
Love this, I really enjoy watching your videos! Keep them coming XX
Those babies make me smile every time I see them. Thanks for sharing!
You are such a knowledgeable, and consistent first time mom! Very admirable!
I LOVE a decent length honest helpful mum video - thank you!! Definitely with you on not feeling like you have to do everything textbook xx
Amazing parents. You are so great at being a Mom. Awesome job.xo~Jess
Lol! I packed 2 bags for the hospital. One for myself, one for baby. I didn't used anything except chap stick, my phone charger! The day we went home I showered and got dressed and got the baby dressed. What a waste of time! Next time I know exactly what to pack.
Kendra you're such a super mom!!! I love watching your videos. I'm 16 and LOVE BABIES!! I could sit here all day watching your videos about them. I want to be a neonatal nurse or something involving labor. Its inspiring to see how you handle everything so well. June and violet are the cutest!!!!!
who else is part of the notification squad? great video btw❤️
Caroline Torpey me!
Me ♡ I have identical twin boys They're only 3 months old. I've been following Kendra's videos since I found out I was having twins. They're so helpful. ♡
Love the video! I love watching your videos and especially your days in a life!!!!!!
Lovely video Kendra 😊
You are just so chill and I love it!! Ur a great mom and yes I agree 4 kids would be ideal and ur logic behind it is spot on.
Also great advise on starting a CZcams channel. I just started mine and am still getting into the rhythm of filming (building a routine with it and having kids is crazy lol) but I'm so excited for it to be a mom hobby and share what I feel called to share and use it as a creative outlet about being intentional :) your channel was one of the first ones I stayed watching so I owe you a lot! Your words are encouraging!!
I absolutely love your advice about there not being "a right time"... we get so caught up in methods and I just enjoyed reading and learning about many methods then I just incorporated what I wanted based off what I thought would work with our kids personalities. What I did with my first son is completely different with my second because of the season and how different they reacted to certain things. Following our own intuition is key, God put there for a purpose :) great questions and answers. Again, love your laid back personality on parenting and your perspective!!
I had such an easy twin pregnancy, I felt awesome after the first few weeks for night sickness subsided. I had them at 32 weeks 3 days, I think part of the reason they came so early is because how great I was feeling and over did it, I was still working 40hrs a week as an X-ray tech which is pretty physical. My girls are 6yrs old next week (July 31st) and it's been such an amazing experience having twin girls!
Love this video Kendra! You should do more Q + As :)
I loved this!!! I found you fairly recent because I was searching for twin mom youtubers because I'm currently 23 weeks preg with identical twin GIRLS 💕 and wanted someone to relate to! I love your channel! I've already watched all of your pregnancy updates etc and keep going back and watching them some more, so glad I found you!! Your precious girls are adorable!!!
I'm 23 weeks with fraternal twins! Boy and Girl!!
Kathryn Lee how exciting!!!! Congratulations to you also! Wow! Boy and girl at once, such a blessing! ❤️ hope you have a great rest of your pregnancy!
I'm pregnant with twins too. Fraternal twins- 2 girls :)
Paraselene Woman Yay!!! That's awesome! Congratulations dear! It's been quite an interesting experience so far! Hope you're doing well ☺️🎀
This gathered nest is currently 35 weeks pregnant with twin girls!! Their channel is really great, you should check them out!
Love your videos. June & Violet are adorable.
It's so refreshing to hear the way you talk about your milk supply and formula. I'm in the same boat. Taken every supplement, done all the things and just have to do formula to supplement. I hope my milk makes it as long as yours did! There are so many things you can stress about as a mom and it's great to see how relaxed you are for my own mental health. It's so easy to go nuts and stress at home all day with a newborn. My baby was 3 mo early, so like you I can't compare her to other babies her age.
I lOVE your videos, I just find you very genuine about your opinions and everything you talk about, I also had my first babies ( twin boys) 2 months after yours and you have been a BIG roll model as a mom to me. crazy that you can connect so much through internet.
Kendraaaaaa i love love love you & your new family !!!
love your hair!!
would love a makeup organisation video!! :)
hehe i love giving my 6 month old food because it TAKE UP TIME! Totally giggled when you said that!
Wonderful video Kendra 💕 your girls are gorgeous 💜
You are mom goals :) being a mom terrifies me but it's also the #1 thing I'm sure I want out of life. Seeing you makes me hopeful that I can do it!
My little boy is 6 1/2 months and as I watched this he just smiled and laughed the whole time at June! Haha loved this video!!
You are such a great mom! Your girls are so cute!
You're a fantastic mom, Kendra!! : )
Aw I love your videos!! You are the best mama💕
you seem like a really intellgent young lady !! this is the 3rd vlog that I have seen from you
I'm expecting twins after 3 years trying to conceive and I've just turned 13 weeks! I would love to see a twin expectation and prep video xx ❤
Heather Cooper congrats!!
planning on that!
Kendra Atkins Very much looking forward to it! 😁😁 P.S. your Insta stories of the girls are the cutest! ❤ #fangirlingrightnow
All the things you say about twin sleep, I did too, and it was great advice. I see differences, in small ways in your girls too. My girls I could see differences as they aged, but many photos if not taken at the right angle I can't tell at all. They are nearly 24 so all those print photos we have unlabeled crack us up...um, I don't know could be you, could be your sister. More subtle differences were evident by the time they were 2-3 years old. I love watching your girls, it really takes me back. Thank you so much.
I loved how you explained how having twins affects your parenting 'timeline'. I never thought of it that way. I'm feel the same way when it comes to names - I also love the more classic/older names (not classic in the common sense). I have two boys - Maxwell and Wyatt
I so relate to your number of kids!! I have identical twin boys, and I think I want to have another, but I'm afraid if its a boy, he'll feel too left out from his brothers, and I'd need to have a fourth so he would also have a buddy. But I think if I had a girl, I'd be ok with 3. Who knows - right now the boys are 18 months and completely crazy and I'm not looking to have another in the very near future!
Rebecca Lefley I think even if you have a girl she may feel left out! I did growing up and my brothers are older than I am.
amberhitchcock I think it depends on how you raise them and how close they are naturally. I'm a twin and both my sister and I are super close with our younger sister who is 4 years younger.
When do you plan on having your next baby? :)
Love your videos
I love how positive you are 😄 I have one and I feel like it's so much work 🙈
may god protect all of you ... 💗
Hi Kendra, l love your jewelry in this video. May I ask where your necklaces are from? They are so sparkly and beautiful. Also, love your makeup. That eyeliner is just perfect 👌🏼
Good to know I can look forward to the 4 month age with my twins 😂 and I always tell people I don't know any better when people ask about how it is to have twins. Love your videos!!!
I always wish I had a bumbo for that time when my daughter couldn't quite sit up but I do have a bumbo multi seat and highly recommend it, it's for older babies who can already sit up. My daughter is 16 months and we use it all the time when we go out because it has a tray and you can strap it to a chair and use it as a booster seat and she absolutely loves sitting it in on the floor just during playtime too.
That's how I am I love "old lady names" my daughter is Eleanor
Did you ever make that video for moms expecting twins?? I just found out I’m pregnant with twins and have been very scared! Your videos make me feel at ease and confident that I can do it too :) you’re a wonderful mommy! Hope I can be just as wonderful to my babies ❤️
EARLY SQUAD❤️
My son was a chunky, he would have 8 ounces almost every meal and solids twice a day. They're growing so fast, they're beautiful!
I just love watching your babies on your IG story. They always give me the biggest smile!
You are an AWESOME mom and I know you know what's best for your babies... just want to share a personal experience... thumb sucking is awfully cute but it can lead to SERIOUS teeth and palette issues. I worked in orthodontics for a few years and my mother has done it for 30 yrs. there are sooo many kids who have to come in and get special (expensive) appliances for issues caused by thumb sucking.
Like I said, I know you are an awesome mom and I hope you don't take this as me "mom shaming" you because that is definitely not my intention. Just wanted to share my experience because we know moming is hard and we gotta stick together ;-)
Oh don't worry I know! I sucked my thumb forEVER and had braces forEVER haha.
That's awesome you breastfed for as long as you did! I am almost 10.5 months with my daughter :) we absolutely love he bumbo, but we have the one that can be used as a high chair. I couldn't (and still can't!) decide on a high chair so we have used the bimbo from 4 months through now at 10 months. Highly recommend getting the bumbo multi seat instead of the floor seat!
would you talk about a vaccination schedule you followed?
I know this is kind of random but where is your phone case from?? It's so cute!
Glad I'm not the only mother that says 'you're so cute!' all the time to their baby 😂😂
I had a similar path of being a teacher. I didn't make it to going to school for teaching because as a senior in high school I job shadowed a teacher and taught some lessons, and I realized I was not a fan.
Where are you? Can't wait for you to post again !!!!!
have you looked into baby led weaning? 😊 I did it with both my babies and it was wonderful no purees
You can mix the oatmeal w prunes to help w constipation.
I tried the earth best oatmeal but it constipated my little guy. We hot the earth best rice cereal and he loves it and seems easier to digest.. he also loves squash. ... what times do they nap during the day?
where did you go to college again? I couldn't hear what you said, love the video!!:)
cal poly slo
have you ever heard of the hipp formula
omg what if u have another set of twins :o lol 🙂
We want four kids as well 😍
My mom has 4 kids I'm the 2nd oldest, my younger brother who's 17 and I'm 19 we get along like best friends! I also have a little brother who's 8 almost 9 and we're also really close, my older sister and baby brother have a 18 year age difference 😂 simply because my little brother was an accident! But we all get along really well and have a very close relationship, since me and my brother are only a 2 year age difference we have a very strong connection and as you put it "a buddy". Sometimes my mom wishes she would have another baby after my youngest sibling so he could have a "buddy" but my dad was like nope! Lol
Hey
hahaha my 10 month old is obsessed with throwing herself backwards!
Anyone else try to guess the baby before she says who it is? So far I'm always right! I agree Kendra, they have subtle differences. They are so cute!!!!!
Love your Q&As! I quit breastfeeding at 8 months with my daughter and I didn't feel sore either haha 😂😅 maybe we got lucky! How are your emotions now that you are done breastfeeding?
Ash C haha mine didn't get sore at all either with my first. I'm Still breastfeeding my second he's 17 months and I'm curious if it will hurt when he's done but yeah I always thought that was funny that I didn't ever feel any of those things.
Intentionally Made that's amazing!!! Yeah, I think it was because we didn't stop cold turkey, but gradually reduced feedings. I was so worried about getting an infection or something but it was an easy transition😅😊
With your teaching background, have you considered homeschooling the girls in the future? I think you would be great at it.
Totally check out BlessedRanch on instagram!! She has a stunning home that matches your style!
I'm the third/last child after a set of twins and I'm also the only girl. It definitely was a disadvantage 😂
I noticed that you really like organic & non GMO products and food, so I'm curious about your views on vaccines. *Also, I never thought is want to have twins, but you've kinda changed my mind!
If you are planning on having more kiddos, why are you selling the girls clothes? Are you just selling the ones that aren't your favorites? Just curious:)
Erin Rogers ya just keeping some of my favorites. With two girls we have so much stuff! And I hate holding on to things.
when i was pregnant i learned that babies cry alot in the first 3 months cause theyre supposed to be another 3 months in the mothers womb butsince a womans body cant hold babies in longer, they are not completely "finished" so they cry a LOT! haha so your twins were 1 months born earlier that means 4 months for them.. idk if it makes any sense or if you can understand me but im a huge fan of your channel and im inspired of your homedecor!
Wow, I went to Cal Poly SLO also and majored in child development! Great school 🎉. Class of 97 though 👵🏻😂
Do your babies sleep together like in the Same crib or separate?
separate
I had a feeling the first baby was June cause she always does the licking thing 😂
Did you have any trouble getting your girls to switch from boob to bottle? My 4 month old just will not take a bottle at all, wondering if you had any issues getting them to be okay with a bottle?
luckily I didn't
THANK U KENDRA FOR POINTING OUT IDENTICAL TWINS DO NOT RUN IN FAMILIES SMH
