  • Registered nurse here. I have done both. Worked with my babies & retired & stayed home with my babies like you did. Trying to hold down a full time job with babies is absolutely horrific in every way. I love staying home with my babies & loving/respecting my husband 💕 ❤❤❤

    @hopewellheights I did a personal experiment: I watched an episode of "Sex and the City" and then one of your videos. I found myself feeling so much more fulfilled, in touch with reality, and excited about the adventure of motherhood and wife-life when watching your content! While shows like "Sex and the City" had their heyday 20 years ago and were considered "revolutionary" by some, I think they did a massive disservice to generations of women. They portrayed a life that only existed for a select few, and in the end, the characters were all miserable. Home is where the heart is, and having a family is such a blessing! I really enjoy watching and learning from your channel!

    My mental health deteriorated going back to the workforce. I thrive better as a traditional wife. More videos like this! You are not alone!!
  • I grew up in a large Catholic Trad household. I am a newly married (2yr) with a 9mo old girl! I just started sourdough and I made your apple fritters SO GOOD! I also made your detergent THANK YOU SO MUCH, Im loving your style in your homestead! I will hopefully one day have a garden! PS. Absolutely, loved your chat during the video :) Looking up to you mamma!

    You're in such a beautiful stage of life. You're a great mom, and your babies will have so many beautiful memories to look back on and cherish.

    I was judged big time by my sister and her friend for being a stay at home mom, I loved staying home and being there for my children.
  • Good reminder that if your husband is not morally making the right choice, you do not have to honor that decision. Glad you said this in the video! So many don’t fully understand this.
  • @rileybugs07
    I seriously love your videos. It is so nice to find someone who is not afraid to speak out and change the "norm" so to speak. Women have a role in their families not to other ppl. Also, your daughter holding the baby like a little pro is stinking adorable.

    Hi Steph, I appreciate hearing your views. We have vastly different religious views, but even as a person who does not participate in organised religion, we share a lot of similar values. Your channel is a constant reminder to me of how important it is to understand the perspectives of all people, similar and different to one self.

    I find taking care of our home and family was a blessing. We are now empty nesters and I’m still a stay at home princess. It’s allowed me the ability to take care of our home, and husband. I’m thankful my husband tells me home is work, but if you want to work outside the home do it. I don’t. I have the freedom to visit our children who live in two different states, travel or stay home and enjoy our home and the friendships I’ve made outside the home.

    I’m currently very annoyed with all the hate on motherhood in general and misunderstanding of being a traditional wife. I believe in what you mentioned, it’s all about using our own free will. I’m so happy I got to choose to go to uni, then work, then marry, then have our son. I love my tradwife life! It’s aligned with what God says and what just feels right. Love your videos and vulnerability to share!
  • @user-fx1vs7fw1l
    I’ve been married 53 years and have always been a stay at home mom …& honored my husband as the head of our home… it’s been a wonderful life and I wouldn’t have had it any other way! If I could roll back time… I’d do it all over again.😀
  • It was nice seeing your kids in this video... they're such sweethearts and look like good kids as well as good helpers!
  • you are such a joy to listen to! please turn these into podcast episodes 💛🥰
  • @lifeoflucretia
    While I am not a Catholic, I am a Christian. At 62 most of my life is over...and while I'm at peace with my history, if it were possible, I would go back in time and change some things. I did the best I could with the choices I made and situations I was presented with. I have been married nearly 40 years, and we have had a very...twisty road, but we genuinely love each other in a very deep and committed way. God bless you my new friend. 🙏 LUCRETIA
  • @Maria-ht4vh
    THANK YOU!!! ❤❤❤ As a traditional Catholic wife who was raised by a traditional Catholic mother, it hurts my heart to hear the backlash we get. You explained it so well (thank you catechism of the Catholic Church for making it easier for us to cite scripture!)
  • This has never been preached at my Catholic Church, ever. The Bible that I’m learning to spend more time reading, yes of course I see it. I was so absolutely blessed that I was a traditional wife but I’m old enough to be your mom. I agree with it all but, without the enormous contribution YOU MADE DURING COVID, would you have been able to have your property? I’m conflicted because if we are not in a homeschool situation, do we inspire our daughters to go to college and spend that amount of money on an education they won’t use? I value education, you used yours, you still are basically using it in a way teaching us though alternative but important things. Like I said I AM CONFLICTED.
  • So happy you returned to the faith! I just encouraged two women this past month about their true vocation as wife n mother. Both deciding to leave their careers or just be very part time. Praying for them n all mothers to not be pulled from their true vocation.
