    Bad Day. I was feeling down, but it felt good to vent. I think it's crazy if you pay attention on the right side of my face you can actually see it is swollen a little from my tooth ache!

    I LOVED this raw content, and it makes me sad that you think you have to filter what you say, this is YOUR youtube channel no one elses, you do YOU

      Louise Uldum because when people aren't happy with themselves they find fault in others ... like they say misery loves company or they drink envy juice for breakfast with a slash of jealousy to top it off

    Thank you Bonnie, I needed to hear this today. I believe God knew I needed to hear your comforting words about how we and our kids are provided with what we cannot give them. I am learning from you and your family every day about how a functioning family should be and what that should look like. I have a broken and toxic family, and I DO NOT want that for my future children. Since I was as young as I can remember, I have wanted to be a good mom that can set an example to my kids, but I never had a woman in my life to show me what that looked like. Thank you Bonnie for being that humble, selfless, caring mother to your kids that I have always wanted to have, thank you for being my example. God bless you and your family!

    I’m not religious, but I started really digging deeper into the LDS church when I realized all of my favorite CZcamsrs were Mormons. I also had a preconceived notions about the culture and the people within your church. Your family broke those (incorrect) stereotypes I had in my head. I love all of you. I mostly watch you and ruby, but I have such a deep respect for everyone in your family. Seeing you all connect and seeing the relationship your parents have with all of their children and grandchildren is really a beautiful thing. I remember seeing your dad playing board games with Ruby’s kids on vacation thinking how I wished my grandfather would have done things like that with me. I don’t care what your political views are, what your religion is, or even if you hate puppies (well actually that might be a dealbreaker)...I honestly watch your videos for your hilarious, honest, personality. Sometimes I watch channels for the children, but with you and Joel, I love seeing your all’s relationship regardless of how cute your kids might be. I admire your relationship so much. I admire your honesty, and I admire how real you are. Please know that that there are so many people that look up to you. I know that the negative sticks out, and oftentimes people will comment on the bad things before pointing out something positive. Please remember that you are making such a positive impact on so many kids and adults. I appreciate YOU!

I love your personality, spunkiness, your kindness, the way you treat your husband, family and of course your sweet children!! You are beautiful and a great example to hundreds of thousands!! Thank you for the raw video:) I️t was a great reminder to me that my kids and those around me need ME:) my best self of course:) Again, thank you for sharing goodness always!!💕

    I laid awake all night crying for my 9 year old daughter as we wait for test results from her pediatrician. Your vlog couldn’t have come to me at a more perfect time. I cried with you, for you and for me. I went into work today, looking like a hot mess too from crying and lack of sleep, but was met with lots of hugs from all of my co-workers and the best boss in the world. Your openness and caring words changed my day. Thank you.

    Bonnie the moment you kneeled down with Boston and prayed was absolutely breath taking. You are such a good mommy and you have such a sweet and tender boy. Sending you happiness, strength, love and so much support.

  • @hailihunter8009
    @hailihunter8009 Před 6 lety +1

    I don’t know if you’ll see this, but Bonnie, can I just say I love that you knelt and prayed with Boston. Oh my, just saying that gets me all choked up. I never saw my mom pray, aside from at meals, when I was growing up. I have seen and and heard my sweet angel mother in law pray before, even on my behalf, however and there is something SO powerful in hearing a mother of yours pray. Bonnie, he will ALWAYS remember that. He will hold dear to his heart those feelings he experienced when he heard his mama pray. Nothing compares to that quite like that. I’m a firm believer that a mother can teach her children a lot of great things, and should, but the most crucial and important thing a mother can do is instill in her children a desire to know of a surety that they have a Heavenly Father who loves them and a Savior who lives and died for us. And for a child to find their way to truth by watching their mother and/or father living the Gospel is magical. And it’s creates a bond that is so strong and pure between the both of you. And Bonnie dear, you are doing just that.

    @taylorlovato13 Před 6 lety +2

    Hi Bonnie, the words you spoke throughout this video is exactly what I needed to hear at this point in my life. I’m only 19 years old and I am a college student and lately I have been struggling with finding myself and who I am. My boyfriend of almost 2 years and I have been struggling quite a bit with long distance and we have not been the same together and lately I have felt so alone and lost. I am constantly busy but yet there are times when I get overwhelmed with anxiousness and feeling not good enough. I’m not married or have children, but these words meant the world to me. In the darkness we must look for the smallest bit of light and use that as motivation. I have so much love for you and your family, thank you for sharing these words with us.

    I’m sitting here watching this video and I’m so glad that you made this and that I’m watching is right at this moment in my life because my life between me and my husband are not the best. I This video just made me realize that there is more than just our bad relationship that there is ways to fix it and there’s ways to move on from what we’re doing right now and there are ways that we could hopefully be a family again I don’t know if this makes any sense but it’s hard to put into words I love you and your family

    Bonnie, your probably not going to read this but this is coming from a 12 year old girl and I watch your videos nonstop. This may sound weird but your kids are younger than me and inspire me. Olivia inspires me to be myself and that I shouldn't worry about what other people. think. and you and Joel inspire me to do my best. when I see that you've posted a new video my face actually lights up. I am subscribed to you, ruby, and Ellie. I've been watching you guys for a while and I love how you guys teach others. I dont know If you realize but every video that is put out by you guys is a lesson learned to me. Thank you so much for recording your lives and making me smile- I love you- hannah

    Bonnie, thank you. I woke up last night, 2am feeling an overwhelming feeling of, “am I doing all I can to help my 2 year old grow to her full potential!.” She isn’t talking hardly an I feel like everyone around me or that I know that have a child younger than My Daughter, is talking way more than her, being potty trained before her and so on. She is a smart cookie when it comes to motor skills, abcs, colors and shapes but she just hasn’t started talking yet. I also have a hard time praising her and taking time to just BE with her. I’m constantly around the house doing things and planning things, where I forget to just relax and do fun things physically with my daughter. What I’m trying to say is you are that friend for me today. I’m Thank for your words and truth. Much love.

    Idk why I was crying the whole time, probably cause I'm 8 months pregnant. I constantly worry about being a good mom to my daughter, because I'm going to be doing it alone. I know there are somethings I can't change or control no matter how much i want it too. I love watching you be a mother too you children, helps motivate me. I love your family dynamic, gives me hope that one day I can have a fun loving household that you show us daily.

    @therezar7015 Před 6 lety +1

    I REALLY needed to watch something like this. Thanks you so much Bonnie. For sitting down and just venting and talking with me. I really needed to hear a lot of things you said. I cried when you cried. I feel how you feel. I have bad days. I have 3 kids, all basically 2 years apart. With 3 different ages (4yrs, 2yrs, and 3mo), 3 different stages and all who need my full attention, so ya, I go nuts daily, at the ends of my days I lay and wonder and over think and have that mom guilt and sometimes I'm hard on myself. Like "you were a little harsh, you can do better, be more patient!!" Being a STAHM I feel like I ended up here without really, disccusing it and or WANTING to be a full time STAHM and having the dad be at work all day. I feel like it all happened so fast, that this is where I'm at now. But I know this isn't where I want to be. I love my kids, I love seeing them all day every day, but I'm also THERESA. who does want to go back to school, be a hairstylist, work and help provide for my babies with my fiance. I feel stuck. But, after your video, I feel motivated to really work for where I want to be and that I don't need to feel bad because I'm not "successful" with what seems to be having the house now and school done with. Thank you again bonnie, for opening up and sharring. More.

    I don't think you realized how much I needed this today. My 3 year old twins are being sassy pants', I babysit a 9 year old in the evenings and I just feel so defeated most days. I feel inadequate, as a girlfriend and a mother and especially as a friend. Potty training is draining me and the attitude I get is killing me. I can't help but blame myself. I always question if I am enough for them or not. Today, I don't feel so alone, I don't feel so scared. Thank you Bonnie, for being so raw and transparent with us. You saved me today. 💜

I am currently battling postpartum depression and daily I’m feeling inadequate and sometimes get to the point that I feel like everyone would be better off without me. Horrible feeling I know but i fight everyday to be the best mom I could possibly be for my babies. This is what I needed to see and hear. Being a momma is hard....VERY hard but so incredibly worth it. No matter how miserable I feel I always love my babies to the best of my ability and having confirmation and knowing I’m not alone helps so much and this video did that for me.

And it's so uplifting to hear about the neighbor that knew to come talk to you on a day you weren't feeling the greatest.

I am going through a patchy spot in my life right now and I cant begin to explain how much I needed to hear everything you just said.

    When you started talking about your prayer and crying with Boston, it made me cry with you and made me start thinking about my mom. She never cried around me or my siblings, and I really wish she did. I would’ve loved to have that kind of moment with my mom, and even to this day I wish I could. That women does NOT cry 😂 but it just really made me think about how I want to be a mom some day, and how it’s okay to be vulnerable, especially with your kids. You have the purest soul Bonnie, and I absolutely love that about you! Never be afraid to be open and honest with us. We are your friends, who are here to love and support you ❤️

    Watched this after a bad day at school and I couldn't have watched a better video. I love watching you and your family every day. Thank you for always posting and sharing your life and stories! You're amazing!

    I was in tears watching this. I had a cold day and being on the other side of it, I work outside the home and sometimes the world is a rough place and watching you guys and your family is my mental getaway. I love a simple family life and wish I was brave enough to vlog for a living so I can stay home. You can’t begin to realize how positively you impact so many lives so don’t be hard on yourself. I understand you feel a responsibility to filter what you say but your realness and personality is what makes you so relatable. I watch several vloggers but you are my favorite because of this. I Love you guys and thank you so much for your transparency.

    Oh Bonnie... I needed these very words today. I’ve been very frustrated the past few months. I’m 28 years old, but I feel like I’m getting nowhere. I feel uplifted by your words of encouragement, and that’s huge. Thank you for your words.

    Thanks Bonnie. I needed to hear this part about moms today. I needed that cry and that reassurance. Thank you for being a safe place.

    Oh Bonnie, I always love your videos but this was the most relatable thing to me. The emotion built up until I was totally in tears. We are all doing our best. Thank you!

    Wow, Bonnie! This is so powerful! Thank you so much for your honesty and for sharing from your heart! I was just thinking about the vlogs that I view regularly. It seems that they are becoming more about "productions" rather than sharing challenges and heartache, which we all have daily. It reminds me that we are not alone in having days of self doubt and maintaining our perspective. You are a beautiful woman and soul!

    I love that Bonnie is different than I am. That's what makes CZcams awesome. Learning about different people, how they live their lives, and finding encouragement.

    I really needed this .... Thank you for the realness! I constantly question myself if I am doing the best that I can as a Mom and my kids are older...23 & 17! I am still learning every day!! Continue to share! God bless your honesty in knowing there will be those bad days, and that it really is okay !!!!

    It's sooo hard to be a mom, it's sooo refreshing to hear I'm not alone in the struggles. I absolutely love that you prayed with Boston like that. I have to try and make it a better point to have more intimate prayer time with my daughter. I want her to feel the lord in her and around her to help her through her own struggles and sometimes I forget the power of prayer and even at her young age I want her to know and feel that power too! Thank you for this video!

    I want you to know you may never read this but you have had a very special place in my life. I found all of you guys through Cullen and Katie. Then Ellie and Jared; then 8 passengers, then you and Joel and your precious children. You have had the biggest influence in my life. I love everyone of them, but for me you touch a string in my heart that just makes me so thankful for everything in my life. I’m a great deal older than you guys, I’ve been ill for a while, had to quit nursing due to my health. I’ve always loved kids and babies even more. I collect the reborn dolls that look real. So watching you kids with your kids makes me happy on a sad day. Boston is entertainment by himself. I just love him, he needs you in a very different way than your other kids. I noticed that very early. Then Lincoln is absolutely adorable. His little mouth when talks is just so sweet. I totally get you and Ellie and the smell of the binkis. I know people think it’s weird. I’d love to come by and visit you one day, that would be fabulous. You stay Bonnie; you are priceless and unique and created by God himself. God knows who we are, He knows our human limitations, He knows that we are inadequate. He puts people in our lives to fill in the gaps. I’m going to write you soon, sense I can’t just come by and visit. Mississippi to Utah would be a long walk to visit. LOL. I love you I really mean that, please just do Bonnie for me because no matter what, no matter what other people say, Bonnie is enough, just being you is all we need. Love you! Dana.

    Bonnie, I am so glad you shared this video! I had a rough few days this week feeling defeated as a mom. Along with advice from my mom, you helped me realize that worrying is showing that you really care! Love your videos.

    @przchula2590 Před 6 lety

    I'm glad you opened up. I like hearing your words of encouragement. I had a difficult day with my boss and it was nice to hear what you said. Sometimes we think we are not doing things right, and we are. We undermine all the things we do. Ugh, I'm going through a difficult time. Thanks for sharing.

  • @renetp1970

    I love you inside and out! You are Real & so humble but also know that if you ever need to vent or cry or ramble on with " what you call" no filter then that's great because it shows that you are you and you say what you feel. Thank you so much for being you and for uplifting Me today! I enjoy seeing your family very much and keeping up with all of you. It brightens my day :-)

    I just want to thank you and your whole family. I lost my mother this year so there not a lot of my family left. I watch your family videos from Ellie and Ruby and Julie and your and it makes me feel like I'm a small part of your family so thank you for all you do.

    Great vlog, Bonnie. There is a reason you have so many viewers. You touch people in a way that only you can. You are real and down to earth and it is obvious that you love your children. We all screw up from time to time with how we parent but I really believe that when we show our children that we are sorry, they are learning more from us than when we think it is our best patenting moment. You are more wonderful than you realize!

  • @aliglendinning6502

    Thank you so much for this. I’m watching with tears streaming down my face. My baby is 3 and we are having a hard time since I’ve started nursing school. I’ve been feeling a lot of guilt and shame about not being able to spend as much time with her as I used to. This video made me feel so much better. You have taught me so much about parenting, and I’m so thankful for you, and your family.

    You're a beautiful person and a great mother, Bonnie. I know we don't see every part of your day but you have some really sweet kids and you and Joel are so kind. I can't think of one vlog of yours that hasn't made me smile. ❤️ love you guys😘

    @meetthewengers Před 6 lety

    Thank you for putting all of this out there. I'm a stay at home mom living overseas without any family or friends nearby, and I wonder every single day if I am doing enough for my kids. I worry about it so much, and it really made me feel better hearing you say that just by me thinking about it, I AM doing enough for them. Motherhood is tough. It feels good supporting others moms in our journeys! Thank you!

  • @morgannicole1220

    I don’t ever comment, but I went back to re-watch some older videos of yours and after watching this one I totally understand why you do what you do and the way you do it. I appreciate you and your family for putting these videos on CZcams so much. You have really helped me in so many ways. Thank you ❤️

    @mcc02010 Před 6 lety

    I needed this today Bonnie. I need to find what makes me happy in my life- I'm not a happy person right now and feel stuck. I feel like I too have to have a filter on what I say and how I act to not affect people and to also hide the way I feel and my opinion of myself. Thank you for being so real and relatable! The bad days shall pass and better will follow!

    This video is exactly why you are my favorite out of you and your sisters. You are real. Be who you are and don't feel you have to be someone for anyone else. And thank you for making us Moms who feel like we are failing all the time feel better because we are doing the best that we can.
