I love your response to the little girl, that you weren't 'offended' at the thought , just that it isn't true but acknowledging and appreciating her parents for raising her to understand there are many types of families! Love that..and also love that you are just chillin being a single mom and not all wound up about finding someone else. You and Eli seem to have a good situation ! So great for Bexley that there is no drama!! Well done !
People like vloggers who keep it real where you don’t have to think about acting etc. I like to see real life vloggers not the ones where they have to pretend.
Video suggestions: day in your life, cooking, adventures with B!, adventures with siblings!, girls day!, shopping haul, toddler item recommendations, your favorite items you own, your facial routine.
More Bexley. Maybe playing with your siblings. Show us Bexley's favorite foods, movies, songs, dance moves. Also if you have pictures of you at her age to see how much she looks like you. Decorating your house with Melinda.
I have a video idea. Maybe do a few parts of a vlog where Bexley hangs out with each of her Aunts & Uncles (maybe two or three to a video) but they each thing of something to do with her. Would love to see how they each interact with their niece.
Lacey, you are a fun person, you have a beautiful little girl, upload your adventures, just be you. We fell in love with you through your family channel, we all still love you. For the anxiety, talk to someone, find relaxing techniques. You are awesome!
I would watch any video you make but I would love an updated GRWM telling about which makeup/skincare/hair products you use. ♥️ Love you and your family, Lacey!
Lacey, you are amazing it’s great to see you growing such an amazing daughter sister now amazing Mom, follow your heart and intuition you know what is best for you and Bexley. Great video ❤
You could do a "day in the life of a toddler" video. Like a typical day from you getting up, breakfast, nappy bag packed, coffee on the way, hanging at park or your parents or whatever, treat on way home, bedtime etc. I know you don't want Bex on camera much so you could film/edit it in a way where it shows what you/her have done for a day but without showing her face. You could take a leaf out of your aunty's book and do a room make-over LOL
Well done Lacey, addressing these assumptions with integrity and intelligence. I like that you are open-minded and have a sound sense of humour. I'm sorry your anxiety transformed in panic attacks. I read some good advice about the inner child related trauma in the comments. Maybe get help, if you didn't already. I have to commend you and Eli on the positive and caring way you choose to co-parent Bexley. Would it be an idea to vlog about this aspect of your life? Your experiences might be inspiring... I enjoy your vlogs ☺️
I give you massive props for being you and putting yourself out there! ❤ I have to say it’s so funny on those assumptions, like can’t us women have friends that is another woman?! 😂 Also completely understand your panic/anxiety, I’ve dealt with it my whole life, and the only thing I can say is take it a second at a time, surround yourself with great friends/family and for me many, many years of therapy has been amazing! Video ideas: just fun to see day to day life, Autumn brings such a light to you and all of us, do some crazy (or not so crazy 😜) challenges, show the fun with your family if your comfortable, those of us that watch can’t even begin to understand what it’s like to be on social media and the things thrown at you. Best advice I’d have is to be yourself, you’re wonderful, beautiful, smart, great sense of humor and that what we love to see you! I know you can’t dismiss/ignore negativity but also take the good and hold onto that! Sending you much love and I love to see you happy finding yourself again!! 💕💕
I recently saw a TikTok that said when you are having a panic/anxiety attack, put a warhead in your mouth or something sour or spicy. Apparently our brains can only handle one emergency at a time, and the sour or spicy item takes your mind off of your attack. The other thing I would recommend is start exercising. My 11 year old used to have panic attacks in the winter, then he started playing hockey. The exercise can improve the serotonin levels in your body.
Ooh, loved most of this, you are obviously doing really well and it shows! The only thing was the panic attacks, and I think you should see a professional. For me, I actually started meditating mid-panic attack. I googled something for peace and found a meditation that I said and repeated on the spot and it worked for me. So I've kept at it for years now. There are guided meditations on YT, apps, etc. Even 5 minutes make a world of difference! Also, to avoid sensory overload. We take in so many sensations during the day and can get to where there are just too many sounds, words, videos, lights, etc and panic. For example, you can start dimming the lights at home around 6pm, reading or listening to a book rather than watching YT, a romance movie rather than an action movie, and so on. Over time, with both of these, my anxiety just plummeted. I hope this helps and that you find ways to heal from these panic attacks. Bless you, love
I love your vlogs! You are a wonderful mom and thank you for being real and honest with us. As for your panic attacks go to your doctor and let them know what is going on. Ideas for vlogs how about what you do with Melinda and Bexley and Scarlet, also if you being at your parents house, your daily routine, Bexley’s favorite foods, toys, her milestones. I love watching your vlogs. I don’t think your family will ever get sick of you I love how your family is so close to each other.
Lacey I so agree with everything that Darci(above) said 👏🏻🤩‼️ Please ignore any negativity/hateful messages sent your way🙏 Some people can be very mean spirited and try to make others feel bad so just erase any of that you may come across🤞
You are an amazing Woman, Mommy, Friend and so very real, raw, kind, beautiful and caring. Please don't think anything other than this & more good about yourself, we LOVE seeing you vlog. As someone with an Acute Anxiety Disorder and has to be medicated for it at times I can tell you now, you thinking people don't like you, are talking about you etc is your Anxiety talking, it's NOT the truth!! You can and will beat this and if you need any advice or just a rant please feel free to reach out to me! Sending you love and hugs ❤🫶❤️
Lacey, you beautiful soul, as I am a person who suffers with anxiety but not as much as I use too, all I can say is what I had learned for the past three years is meditation and to breath. Take your time every day, time goes by but don't let the good things in your life go by too. love you and what you're doing, keep shining bright with your beautiful little girl and keep sharing your awesome vlogs. Love from a CrazyFamily Fan in Aotearoa a.k.a New Zealand.
10:39 would love to see a video about Bexley and all the milestones she is reaching. Ie first word, does she know colours, favourite foods, favourite shows.
For the anxiety, I just learned from my therapist that if it gets really bad that could be your inner child freaking out. Try placing your hand in the middle of your chest and just tell yourself I hear you I feel you. And than breath slowly and deeply. Sometimes I have to do that multiple times in a day. Or something a little different I place my had on my chest and than slowly go into a crouch basically kneeling on the ground. And repeat process of the first thing I said.
You are a wonderful mom and I love your vlogs. As far as anxiety goes talk to your doctor he will lead you in the right direction . Take one day at a time and just enjoy your daughter and yourself.
Lacey, I have watched you grow up to beautiful young lady. I know first hand the public is the worst to deal with. You my dear will find a job where you feel comfortable in, and as true fan of you and the Crazy Middles you have a lot of support, so keep your head high and remain who are. Enjoyed watching and thank you for sharing ❤❤
You are incredible Lacey. I remember you from the beginning, way back in St Johns. You were always fun and an amazing sibling. You have always been so open and honest, which helps your subscribers relate to you. Watching you become such an amazing young lady and then a Mum has been a pleasure and very inspirational. Don't worry so much about what we think of your videos because I suspect the majority of us just enjoy hearing about what you are up to. I'm very proud of how you and Eli are raising Bexley even though you are no longer a couple you show that you are both there for her and love her. There are so many people that can't do that. You are very wise for your years and are the sort of mum that everyone wants. I hope that you can feel or sense that my words are genuine and heartfelt. I guess one of my weaknesses is feeling that I may not get my point across and that my words aren't seen as genuine so I over explain. Thank you for another awesome video. ❤😊
You are so sweet I think of you as a really good Mom. Daughter. Sister and Friend. I had panic attacks for years it is so hard to live with panic attacks. I am not sure what happen but it seems to be a caulture now when you have a BFF people assume there is more to it.
It's a very complicated world lately, so it is probably hard for anyone to know what to post on RU-vid. Don't beat yourself up about it. Chances are, other youtubers have this same problem.
I would love to watch you make a pumpkin roll from start to finish. Include ingredients and methods. Also, the same ideas as to how to make break-up cookies on another video. You like to make these things and we can learn from you. 🧡
I am nearly 60 and suffered all my life with anxiety and depression, plus panic attacks and PTSD, following a serious train accident years ago, which I was involved in, It takes time, but you learn how to handle them, and they become less and less. Read self help books from the library, I found them more help than shrinks I saw on the National Health Service, seriously! xx
U be u. I never thought of u & Autumn being a couple. U & Eli r doing a good job keeping things out of the court concerning Bexley. When it’s time for a new relationship God will provide. Take care of your mental health. Maybe go see a doctor about the anxiety. I dealt with depression when my mom & husband died. On my days off I stayed in bed other doing what I needed to do. Christmas presents weren’t wrapped nor a tree put up. Mom died n June, my husband died September 9, 2001. Both a couple of months apart. Bexley is adorable. We all ❤ u
Yoga, vagus nerve techniques and meditation all good long term solutions as they calm your nervous system. Look up somatic healing as well. Trauma is trapped in your body. The shaking is your bodies way of dealing with the anxiety as you've triggered the flight or fight response. Breathing and acceptance in the moment of a panic attack is useful. Al I haven't had panic attack in years and my anxiety is significantly reduced with all the above.
Girl the internet is wild. Keep doing what you’re doing it’s your life and people will say literally whatever these days. Always take care of your mind and health we love you Laci take all the breaks you need! ❤
Starting out college two years ago I began have severe anxiety I had to force myself to see a psychiatrist and get a therapist if you don’t wanna try meds try a therapist through you health insurance if you don’t mind starting meds a little go see a psychiatrist and see what they can prescribe you your primary doctor can also prescribe you meds but sometimes insurance doesn’t accept certain meds from them I hope this can help cause I get the panic attacks and losing control and it starting to be physical and not just mentally don’t be afraid to take something or get help
I started having really bad anxiety attacks about 10 years ago. I cut out most caffeine with the exception of chocolate and I have not had any problems since. So you might wanna look at how much caffeine you are consuming. If they don't go away soon, please talk to your doctor. It's been great seeing you in more videos again.
You answer these assumptions so wonderfully! So I’ve had panic attacks since I was in Kindergarten and was finally diagnosed with an anxiety disorder when I was 15. (I’m 25 now) I understand the feeling all too well. When my medicine just doesn’t feel like it’s cutting it that day, I’ll take one or two capsules of lemon balm. It’s a natural supplement, but I swear by it. It helps so much with mine if I have more anxiety than normal. I’d definitely give it a try 😊
I struggled for years with panic attacks, I haven’t have one in over a year because I started to rebuke the spirt of fear in Jesus name and giving it to God, that was the only thing that truly worked xx
Love u, loved this vlog Miss u when u don't post any vlogs Would love to see more of u and bex and more shopping vlogs Christmas 🎄 putting the tree up with bex that would be so cute 😍 Santa visits , cooking (just watched your family channel u are an amazing cook) I would watch any vlog of yours ❤ Keep being you there is no other you and you are Amazing ❤️
Lacey, me and my best friend always get questions asking if we're a couple or dating. Most of the time I laugh it off or just say No were just besties/soul sisters!
Lacey - have you had your hormone levels checked? Hormone imbalances can cause depression and panic. I've seen this first-hand, and it can be easily remedied. You need a good OBGYN to do this for you.
Lacey, your a great hostess on your RU-vid and your family RU-vid. Maybe you can ask your mom, Kylie or someone to help you brain storm ideas. In my opinion your cousins YT are ok.
I feel like you’re in a really wonderful mindset right now! :-) What if you do a day in my life versus being with Bexley and not. Because I remember at one point you said you kinda do things a little bit different when you’re not with Bexley just because you have your free time and you’re just live in your life, and then you also live your life with Bexley too so if you do like a comparison . I hope that makes sense.
Honestly if you have panic attacks that bad I would seek out a therapist that can help you sort through whatever might be at the core of your attacks. At the least they can help you learn to manage them in a healthy way. Loves!
Amen on people not treating food service employees good. I work at a fast food restaurant Thursday we were open for 5 am to 11 am . When i left at 1140 people were getting angry with me because i wouldnt let them in the store. And sittingbat drive thru waiting for someone to answer then cussing at me when i was kind enough to let them know we closed at 11 40 minutes ago.
Hey Lacey I'm glad that you are doing better I get anxiety also where my arms would shake. How about make a fun blog about you and Blexy I'm sorry if I spelled her name wrong or something that you enjoy doing like making your punkin rolls that you used to make. Maybe find a different job that you would enjoy working at bc working in food can be stressful at times and don't let those people get to you just bush them off .
Lacey, have you considered doing therapy? I've started and I am learning how to handle my anxiety and panic attacks in therapy. It also sounds like you've experienced a lot of trauma when you were young...it won't hurt to attempt to work through them.
Would love a vlog on how.is Bexley? What's she up to? How's she developing? What's her antics and the cheeky things she says or does? Would love a vlog on her at least once a month. How's Ely? He started his own channel but never posts. Keep strong I'm a single mum of an older teenager. Been single since she was 5 years old. You're luckier than me. My nearest family member lives about 8 miles away and I don't drive.
Would love to see Bexley at playgroup or Bexley clothing haul would be fun, just a thought. I love watching you. It’s such a shame the way you are feeling at the moment but it will pass. Get some professional advice about anxiety and panic attacks because that would help you. You don’t have to live with it. God bless you a little Bexley xx
The scary of single parenthood I think usually comes from a place of pressure, like I have a friend who raised her daughter with no help from her daughter's father, and with no family of her own in the city she raised her in. That's very different from what you've said about your situation.
Sweetheart it all depends on where you're working on how you're going to be treated by your customers now if you were to go to a family restaurant and work there I guarantee you with your attitude your smile and your personality you could make a killing because you are the sweetest kindest person I
