    Sharrah. You are such a beautiful soul. I totally get what you are saying. I always think this way. When the chips are down will you say I wish I spent more time on CZcams and my work or I wish I spent more time with my children and husband. I think you are making a wise decision. Your children will grow so fast snd you will wonder where the time went. I wish you and your family many blessings.

      This is so well said!! Exactly how I feel. I don’t want to look back and feel like I’m missing the best years of their life. I know creating content will always be a part of my joy and life and I’m excited to be able to diversify what I share and how often I share it. Thanks for being so encouraging 🫶🏻🙏🏻

      I completely agree! My kids are now in college and I see how fast their childhoods went! Everything else can wait. It is not a badge of honor to say “I can do it all” - it’s a fallacy. We can do it all, but not all of it will be done well.
      I am also encouraged by your honesty here because now I am at a place to consider other possibilities in my life. I love my current job, but have always worked part time (to make space for my family) and now am wondering what’s next. It’s hard to let go not knowing If the thing I grab next will be as fulfilling. Thank you! Enjoy your Beautiful children!

    It is such an American “thing” to never take time or a break or a proper vacation. Honestly, it is unrealistic and crazy thinking. I am so proud of you for standing up for your family and your kids and saying “no” this isn’t okay, and it needs to change. You are such a strong person and thank you for letting us know. Sending lots of love ❤

    As a young mom, I totally understand how your time/attention/love for your kids pulls you away from other passions, and it can be so frustrating at first. But you're doing the right thing by pulling back (even if it means getting penalized at work), focusing on your kids and your own mental health, and recognizing that this is just a season. You won't regret it. Great job, Sharrah! ❤️

Because I also was missing out on my two kids and just time I was never gonna get back and it wasn’t worth it … I do not regret, leaving my job. You have to do what makes you happy! I’m happy your choosing your family and doing what makes you happy!

    First time commenting. You’re so right, and so wise to listen to the voice within telling you that this season is for you & your children. It’s a short season where your kids really need you, and you’ll be so glad that you made them, & spending time with them, the priority. I don’t think anything else in life can compare to the satisfaction that comes from being the mom you want to be. Much love & happiness to you & your family ❤

    Girl! As a mother of 2 boys, 6 and 2, I can feel and relate to everything you have shared!!! The moments are precious. And having "me" time isn't selfish. Like a phone, you have to recharge. Don't feel guilty of what/how you're feeling. It's normal and its not forever. Don't look for balance. Look for harmony. Don't be the perfectionish. Be the "in the moment". My liberation from me to you. ✌️

Very proud to see you evolve into an even MORE carrying and thoughtful person. Putting your faith, family and mental health first is what I wish for anyone to be able to do. It will be a treat to see what ever and whenever you decide to post as always! ❤ Thank you so much! Take care and enjoy those babies!!🎉

    Girl, this is your channel❣️ Do with it what is authentic! Be the best mom, spouse, daughter, friend, neighbor, and person you are. I found you for budget friendly remodels. Found your mom here and watched you move across state lines and grow into a mom. Be present for yourself and your family. You will not regret those choices. As a nurse, when my babes were little I worked way less. In medical lingo, you are going PRN (or as needed.) We will find when you have things you want to share.

We have been so focused on making ourselves look picture perfect in the last 10yrs; and I believe, we are quickly realizing the true meaning of life and loved ones, through this hard journey of Covid. It has simply changed things. That being said, I can't wait to see what you have in store! I would love to start hearing about your walk with the Lord even more too! Share him with us girly! Thank you for your vulnerability. Many blessings to you and the family

  • @Moderationisamyth
    @Moderationisamyth Před rokem +25

    You do you Boo. I’ll share my story with you and you can take from it what you will. I quit my job in 2009 to take care of my 4 and 5 year olds. I felt just like you, I was missing them growing up and I hated it. I stayed home and raised my kids. Today I cannot get a job in my field although I’ve been on MANY interviews. I feel like they see my gray hair and not my experience. I’ve since self taught myself to build and design a website (not in my field of finance and business). I’ve started my own CZcams channel as well about with zero subscribers currently 😅. But I feel what I did for my family was the most important thing I have ever done. It was so much fun and I look back on those days with pure joy and happiness. Although in today’s society I am probably considered a failure since I am unable to contribute to the household finances, I feel like I did the best thing that I could by giving my kids their mother. These are the most precious moments. Celebrate every moment with them.

      When I took a break from career to raise my children, we did have to make financial sacrifices, but it was worth every penny. When I did go back to work years later most of the colleagues told me they admired that I had put my family first, and they wish that they had done the same.

    You can’t go wrong listening to what your heart is telling you. You’re real life is your husband and family. Children grow up so quickly. Enjoy what is most precious to you. In another season of your life you can reconnect. 🌷 EDIT: I came back to say: yay for you! Sharrah do what brings you joy. Life is too short to be on the CZcams algorithm treadmill. I see the stress in so many Content creators and it’s not fun to watch someone “put on the happy face.” Do what you love. You’re a wonderful person. People understand you want to enjoy your kids and family life. So just share what inspires you and I think you will feel uplifted and less stressed.

    @t.m4755 Před rokem +34

    If it makes you feel a little better the algorithms sent your channel my way. I just paused it to say that what you’re feeling/experiencing is for real and that I’ve seen other content creators step away to reevaluate what matters most. Having 2 kids in a span of 2 years totally takes a toll on you (ask me how I know, lol).
    Take a break if you’re able to and post the content that you’re passionate about. It’s okay to change directions.
    May the Lord direct your steps and fill you with peace as you embrace the new changes ahead.💛

So many people have echoed this sentiment but it’s true: you are the only Mom your kids have! This season when they’re little is just that: a season. Meaning there is a beginning, a middle and an end. And you don’t know it’s the end until it’s too late. As a woman who was a stay at home Mom for 14 years, this is the most beautiful time! Enjoy it! ❤

    Good for you! What better way to inspire others than to put your family first? Prayers that God continues to bless you, your family and your endeavors. If you are making content you love, we as your viewers will love it too!! I came here for the decorating, I’ve stayed because of you. ❤

    Started watching you after I had my 2nd in March 2020. I started watching you for your interior design content, but when you became a mom I kept following you for all the mom content you share. What better way to "influence" people than prioritizing your family! It says a lot!

    Awww Sharrah, god bless you and your family. I hope you get through this time as happily and healthily as you can. I won't be unsubscribing - I'm sticking around! You were probably one of the first channels I ever subscribed to with your warmth and genuine content. Keep being you 💖 From a long term subscriber in Liverpool, UK.

Thank you for all of the time and effort you have put into your channel all of these years. Now its time to enjoy your babies! Make great memories with them!! That is when your heart will sing! God will handle the rest. ❤ I'm excited to see the changes that you make!

      Oh honey - what courage and God bless you! I am 67/mother and grandmother and I tell my children all the time “learn from me; let some things go.” I can remember being in the same situation as a professional at your age - it caused so much stress and unhappiness, depression. Oh, the guilt! Took me years to throw that away 😉 You are brave and beautiful - go honey go! 😘

    • @erinlee7216

      Oh kiddo❤ I turned on my IPad this morning and literally stumbled upon your video. My first time here. I do think it’s Gods way of nudging us to connect with people. It happens to me often. I am oh so moved by what you shared. I am the mother of 3 amazing children, one boy and two girls. They are grown now, in their 30’s. I want to share with you now, if you don’t mind.
      OH HOW I WISH I could go back to the days when they were little like your children are. My husband at the time and I decided that I would stay home with them and give up the “toys”some adults had to have. We lived on his income. We were just fine. ALL my memory of things I did with them, playing outside, or going to a park, picnics on our porch when it was raining. We’d go fishing once a week when they were old enough. I can still see them as littles ones, and now I have tears in my eyes because I miss those little ones❤ They are all doing great, they are kind, loving, thoughtful souls. they give back to the community and put others first. Was life perfect? Oh heck no. I won’t go into personal struggles. Point being... you ARE making the right decision kiddo. You will not ever get these minutes.. hours, days weeks etc back. Please listen to your heart, I promise you, with all my heart you will ever regret it! Time goes by oh so fast. Yes, sounds cliche, as they say, but it is oh so true. Now, my husband and I are enjoying our grand babies❤❤❤...what a JOY and BLESSING! Funny thing is, we still feel like we are in our thirties on the inside! Praise God for that! Don’t apologize to anyone, honey. I worked at one job in particular when I was nearing my 50’s, and I became numb. I was in a dangerous place. Thanks be to God I left and began a new career. My point is, I wouldn’t wish anyone to feel what I felt over a job, being numb, where you feel no joy, no pain, no happiness, nothing. Go be with your little ones and husband and take care of you, and them sweetie! God bless! 🙏🙏🙏♥️♥️♥️

    Sharrah thank you for sharing your heart and struggles of being a wife, mother and content creator. It's a lot and you never need to apologize for wanting to put your family first. I am a mother of two young adult children, I too am in a new season of life being an empty nester. I close my eyes and see my babies I open them and they have grown but I have no regrets because even though I was a single mother I knew how short and fast the years would go by. I promised to be there for everything and today when I feel sad I have those memories that warm my heart. Take the time you need make those memories and have fun with no regrets. We'll be here. ❤️❤️❤️

    @Nancybartlettofficial Před rokem +36

    I’m going to be honest because I’ve been following you and your mom for years. This is by far one of my favorite videos of you. I feel like this is the first time I see you be real and honest with us and although we enjoy ALL of your interior designs videos, they seem a little scripted. It’s so nice to see the real you and I have just became to like you even more after this. Running a company and being a mom is hard, especially when your kids are little. Take your time and enjoy them because they grow up so fast. We’ll be here to support you when you decide to post whatever content you decide to share with us. ❤

    New life level unlocked. I hit this realization when I turned 40 or so. I’m 44 now. My most happy times are spending time with kids and family. I had to find a way to do more of that and not be focused so much on things that don’t bring me the same level of happiness. Kids grow fast and I’m glad to look back and say that I was able to be available for them during the majority of their life “stuffs.” My kids, 17 and 21, are good people and I’m glad I was able to help them get to that and I don’t regret a thing.

  • @chadanddebwetter3822

    I’m so proud of your decision. I’m your mom’s age and as a grandmother, I feel so strongly that sometimes, young people get busy and the years can slip by. So, good for you! You’ll never regret this. My kids have done much the same.
    I am excited to see what you’ll be generating on your channel, if you so decide to do more family content. I’d love to see how to dye eggs with natural products instead of food colouring. Not sure if it’s even possible. Would you consider showing how to do designer beds with pillows and throws and such. It may be fun to hear where there are great places to buy kids clothes, maybe even second hand, or show a kids clothing swap party. Also, family hikes in your area. Your area looks so amazing!
    So many new possibilities and keeping it about what matters most to you, at this stage of life.
    Be blessed as you’ve blessed so many!

It’s so unfortunate how the algorithm works - I follow a girl who used to do beauty but now wants to do homemaking but CZcams tanks all of her homemaking videos because that’s not “her thing.” I’m excited to watch all the new videos whenever and whatever you decide to share! 💕

    From one content creator to another, Sharrah, this has been the most relatable video I've seen on CZcams thus far. I've gone through the same thing in the past few years and admire your strength to share. I used to make "How to" tutorials but after 3-4 years, I didn't want to do it anymore. So then I created business tips and now I'm making marketing tips. I say all of this because I understand exactly how you feel. One thing I've learned in the past few years, people grow, change and evolve! I love your honesty...I love your work...and I love your truth. I've been watching you since I started my CZcams channel and you've always been such an inspiration to me and how I show up on camera. This is my first comment [I should've commented before lol...whooppss]. I'm with you to the end because I love the growth of your videos and you as a creator on YT. These are the things most creators don't discuss and I always admire people who take the time to share. It's something I have to do with my channel eventually. Thank you for having the courage to share. It gives hope to smaller content creators, like me, to feel seen when the rest of the world doesn't notice a thing. I love you so much and I can't wait to see your new content xoxo💙

It helps me as a reminder, with 8 kids and wanting to go back to work, to remember what’s really important. God will reward you for putting your littles and husband first. Good luck and we’ll keep watching for anything you do create. ❤

It's ok to be in the season that you are in. I for one will enjoy your content. And I'm excited to see dynamic content from female creators that are willing to make the life and seasons of calling a true representation of the ebb and flow we as women have in real life. Thank you for your bravery, you and Tyler are the only parents those boys will have and the season of littles goes by so quickly!
