As a 75 year old child development expert…..don’t concern yourself with what people say. You are wasting time questioning yourself. You can’t get those minutes back. Calm down, get closer to God and feel gratitude whenever you can. The more you feel gratitude….the easier life becomes. You spoke about all the things you are worried about….every time you think and speak of that the more it will become your existence. Just enjoy life and show gratitude and don’t worry.

Honestly the generation that is making social media their career scares me. Nothing against you, you’re real and down to earth as evidenced by your passion towards bringing things back to your own choices and not being so influenced by social media standards. You have an audience Riley and you are doing great! Your words and feelings reach many people and I think it’s wonderful that you use it to get your thoughts out there. You have a beautiful life and keep it real❤

LOVE the reminders to not be consumed by what everyone else is doing and saying, to be present, to romanticize life, and to take life a day at a time. You'll find inspiration again. In the meantime, while it's not your responsibility to do so and there is NO PRESSURE to do so, you are inspiring others. Your words are raw and so, so real. It's amazing that you take the time to show that to your audience.

Girl you are doing great! Just do what feels right in your heart, ignore the noise! Social media is poison! People love mistakes when you’re filming, just be yourself and don’t try so hard or you will burn out! Life is messy for all of us! ❤

I feel like I understand you for the first time ever. You feel like a genuine person because the last few minutes were real and I get what’s really important to you. I can’t give you solutions but I see a great moment capturing a family doing so many things right, cooking, sharing food, showing love, playing around. That’s a perfect life. My sister in law saw the same video I guess and told me I should not tell my daughter good job. It was so hard for me not to laugh at her but she thought she was sharing something positive for me to know. My response is, tell your kids they messed up also and show them how to correct mistakes, too and how to learn from mistakes and you will be ok. The kids will be ok. Lots of love to all the people trying to do the right thing, we seem to be fewer all the time.

You are so kind. And a great mom. Never doubt that you are raising good kids and to comment that they do sweet and KINd things makes them a better human and reinforces that you are raising good kids and in a good family. It’s all the messed up people that are lacking that try to make a point of circumventing or knocking you and what you do and who you are. Keep doing what you are doing. The works already has too many people that only worry about themselves, criticize others for what they do because it’s different from what they might do, have no empathy for others or care about others in the world. Don’t let the cold, cruel comments seep in. They are the ones that need to check themselves❤😊.

I truly believe the pro and con of social media is that it gave everyone a platform for their opinion. We are constantly surrounded by information that is changing and conflicting and it’s impossible to keep up with. My thoughts remain the same, the only opinion that matters is the one you sleep with at night. You have to be able to let your heart be the guide of your life and opinions be a passenger, just because they’re traveling with you doesn’t mean they determine your direction. Keep up the great job mama 💕

The way you spoke and displayed your thoughts about how we consume so much in this generation perfectly sums up how I’ve been feeling. It’s just too much. I recently watched a video stating that the amount of connection we have nowadays is SO not normal. It can be a beautiful thing, but can also easily turn into an incredibly overstimulating and toxic environment. I think if we all just try our best to only follow who we truly align with, learn to put the phone down and be present, and focus on what truly matters, we’ll all be okay. Thank you for being authentic and so human on such a big platform. Hugs pretty lady!

That’s why I quit FB 6 years ago. Too many random opinions , articles and others thoughts in my head during the day. I had to realize that I only get this one chance with my kids and to focus on them and my family and to delete all the other stuff. I even cut out texting about 80% of my Friends or family because honestly, it’s a waste of time too. I just had to go back to the 1990s, mentally , and remember how life really should be led. Like you said: be more present for yourself and family. We have way too many distractions these days!

The world wants us to think we need to do it all and that we have to consume it all, but what I’ve learned these last 11 years is that god is true joy and true peace and I heard a pastor say we cannot have joy in mind when we have chaos there it’s impossible and scientist have proven it :) but girl your doing great don’t be hard on yourself and just focus on you and your marriage and your kiddos because at the end of the day they are the only ones there and the ones who will always truly love and support you for it all. ❤be kind to your mind hun!

I know how you feel. As a mom I feel like I am never doing enough... occasionally I have to stop and list all that I accomplished that day. We do a lot more then we realize. So glad you had a nice family trip... those really are the best times to look back on.

Thank you Miss Rylee Jade for being real! You are human and doing the best you can God Bless You❤️! You just keep doing you and taking care of your family! Keep those little ones close because they grow up really fast!

You nailed it about your kids. It is ALL a privilege and it goes by in a blink. I mean a BLINK! My boys are 34 and 35 and every day I ask myself, where in the world did all those years go? But when I have those days where I beat myself up with regrets, it is all about wishing I had more in the moment time with them. Did I make mistakes at work along the way. Yep, and who cares. I never even think about that. You are such a good mom and your husband obviously adores you. As the first comment said, take all that and move close to God (let Him be your anchor) and absolutely nothing else matters now or in the past, or in the future. Big, big hugs sweet girl. Keep shining your light. And love the new hair. Must see a tutorial as well as a pic in that beautiful ball dress! 💗

Rylee, you’re are my favorite influencer because you’re real and raw. Social media is sooo toxic and I’m feeling all the things you’re feeling. Everything you said is true. I’ve been taking a social media break so I can focus on my children (with the exception of RU-vid) so I can be more present and not feel all of the unnecessary pressure social media makes us feel. Hugs!

Be more present and live in the moment- You are amazing Reilly! 🤗

Oh gurrrrrrrl I think everyone at some point in their life has the questions you have. It's a big deal at the time but when you look back at this you'll be like "what was I so worried about?". The other night my husband was trying to explain something to me but didn't know how to say it. I told him to just say his truth and if I have any questions I'll ask him. He was so concerned that he was going to say it wrong, there's no wrong way to SAY YOUR TRUTH ❤. Be true to yourself, I honestly think you are staying true to yourself. Just go for it, no regrets or doubts, stay confident. Who cares what others are doing, you are unique, God made you like no other. "Your vibe attracts your tribe". Anyone that doesn't get your vibe can move on. You've conquered so much already, think about how you shared your feelings when your hubby was deployed, you rocked it! I'm so very proud of you, truly, no BS here. Also pay attention to what lights you up, what moves you into action. Whatever that is for you will get you up and moving. You'll know exactly what to do. We've all been there, I've been there and sometimes I still get stuck. But have some quiet time when you can, listen to that small gentle voice speaking YOUR TRUTH, your passion. I have faith in you and you're definitely not alone. God bless, rock this life. You already know what to do. 😊❤✨️✨️✨️✨️✨️

Very heart felt ending today. All that over thinking…you really don’t need to try so hard. You are being way to hard on yourself. A lot of people, including myself, have been following you for years. Sometimes simpler is better. You have built your following and worked very hard at it. It’s ok to take a bit of a back step to simpler times. You will keep your followers. We have all kept with you for a reason. You are genuine, sweet, smart and naturally beautiful…it comes naturally. Please enjoy your magic and know it is enough…sometimes simpler is better because it is relatable to others. Your inner beauty shines just as much as your outer beauty. You never have to outdo yourself. Yourself is already doing awesome! Now put all those thoughts behind you and leave them in the dust.

Keep doing you. It’s why we love you!

Your rant was SPOT ON! Thank you for saying this. I have been feeling the exact same way. Love your channel and love your authenticity

I get what you're saying. I feel it, too. Btw, I live in the Tampa Bay area and love Tampa Zoo. Hopefully, next time you visit, you'll have better beach weather.

Holy smokes I have these same thoughts everyday. Thank you for making me feel so validated! Literally going CRAZY and it’s because of everything we consume. I think just trying to consume less would do wonders for us. Follow your gut❤❤

I listened carefully to your feelings. You described the desire to live in the moment. There are courses that teach "mindfulness". It was best explained to me by someone that was told she had a terminal illness and had only a few months to live. We never really know when our last day on this earth will be. Imagine how you would live life if you knew that there were a limited number of days left.

Rylee you’re an amazing mom and so hardworking! We appreciate you being your funny authentic self! JUST BE YOU. Maybe that means you take a month off from social media, take a breath (not sure if you have a faith/prayer background) but journal, pray and release all the anxiety. God loves you and he desires your heart. We will never be perfect or have it all together. Be present. Be with your family and let go of everything else. Thank you for being so real!

Oh Rylee….be yourself, listen to your heart, stop listening to social media! You are doing such an amazing job as a mama, wife, daughter and friend! You have a beautiful heart! All you need to do is follow it! I was never able to get pregnant and when I see all you do……wow! Could I have ever done that?! You have a lot of strength, believe in what your inner voice tells you. I grew up being depressed, anxiety ridden and suffered from agoraphobia. I fought so hard to become healthy and happy. But we all have days when we just have to sit back and say, “fuck it!” I can’t today! And it’s alright! Be proud of who you are, who you have become….an awesome daughter, wife, mother and friend. AND a fabulous business woman!! It’s hard to start a business and be successful in it. But I have….I’m a pet sitter because animals give me such joy! And what you do ought to give you joy! I KNOW it gives us, your subscribers joy!! We ALL look forward to seeing your posts! Believe me….it’s sometimes the highlight of my day! Just keep on truckin’…..you are doing great! ❤ We all love love you and “got your back, mama” ❤!

Yes girl I have missed you ❤ hope you guys had a great vacation, trip and made memories .. hope you closed out 2023 on a good note and refreshed for 2024 !! I love Florida and looking at ourselves getting a trailer there ..

My immediate thought was your hair looks so great!! I’m in the beginning of the video but hope we get the deets on it 😄

A lot of good comments here! I am 54 years old, live in the Midwest, have two grown boys and I still feel so connected to you being you! We have a lot in common even tho we live such different lives! You are so real and honest and even though we have such different lives I enjoy your online presence so much. You make me laugh a lot! You make me happy and calm and you are doing an amazing job at all of it! Thank you for sharing your life and family with us and I hope you can find the balance that you deserve and keep doing you! That is what we are here for! ❤

Hey Rylee, just do what is right for you and your family. Don’t listen to social media, you have to do what you feel is right in every aspects of life. It doesn’t matter what anyone else says. 🌷

I relate so much to the things you shared at the end of the video!! The social media burnout is so REAL! Know that you aren't alone in feeling these things. I literally think the same way and question everything I'm doing and saying as a mama and wife, etc bc of how much content I'm consuming every day. It's too much and cutting back is definitely needed. Thank you for sharing these emotions and thoughts. It's good to hear another mama say them out-loud. Love you Rylee XO You're amazing. Keep doing you!

I think sometimes we try to perfect our lives so much we over complicate things. We talk about our kids getting overstimulated, but we can too. There's too much going on online for our minds to process all at once. We need to quiet our homes, turn off the screens, take a deep breath and trust ourselves to do our best. 💕 That's enough 💕

Yes! Finally, you're back! We all have missed you! And yes, it's been like 2 weeks. I love the word you used" discombobulated." I'm glad you had a good trip! We also went to Florida too. Disneyworld with our kids😊!

I soak berries in a bowl with some baking soda and a little vinegar and let it sit then rinse it well ? You are doing a great job as a Mom and wife and your videos ❤❤❤

Don't give up girl! Just focus on what's important! Would love to see you go through new 2024 trends you like or don't like ❤

I love how honest you are!

Hi Rylee, after watching the end of the vlog its evident that you need a break from the toxic social media platforms. I am a 47 yo woman that had such a wholesome childhood. the reason is because social media did not exist. i do not have any social media and only watch RU-vid to relax. I may sound out of touch, however i believe that makes me more in touch. Who gives a fudge what others think, not me. i do the best i can everyday and thats all that matters. Cheer up xoxo

Don't watch things that bother you you are over thinking try to relax and do what you think is best I do agree with the last part when you have kids I'm always thinking about what I need to do and wish I could be more in the moment but if I leave one day go I feel it's a mess but it's really just lived in the videos that I have seen you do a good job and everything also looks so nice your are a great mom and wife

Happy New Year Rylee! Thank you for sharing this video. As for people constantly putting out advice, I hear you! At some point you have to just shut out the noise - I also started to do what everyone said you are "supposed" to do - but I got so tired of it. You said it perfectly - just do you!! Always go with your gut instinct. You are doing an amazing job! Your kids are beautiful, healthy and happy - that's all that matters. You got this girl 😊💕

Love you videos. You're doing an amazing job. I struggle with being present as a working momma too. Sending love.

I see you, Rylee! I relate so much! I have four amazing kids and am a full time teacher. My brain always thinking of a dozen different things. I get ocular migraines because of it. It’s ridiculous! Slowing down, being present and romanticizing my life are my 2024 goals. Take care of you! 💗

Totally agree with you on the smoothie talk! Also, where would those “fibers” from the fruit go if we’re just blending the whole fruit in the smoothie? We’re just eating the whole fruit that way lol!

Happy New Year!!!! Many blessings to you all this year xo

Just loved your vlog today, I started to tear up with you at the end of the vlog because I felt EVERYTHING you had said. Thank you for your honesty and vulnerability! Also, no joke, I have an 11 year old son and 4 year old daughter…guess their names? 😉 Knox and Elodie! ❤

LOVE your hair!

I love this video, you’re right social media will drive us insane people telling us haw we should run our life’s is wrong.

I'm with you on the tik tok /social media stuff. Like let us be us and do what makes us feel good

Yesssss!!!!!!

Rylee... hugs! I'm not a mom so I can't relate 100 but I also overthink and overanalyze everything and I know the pressure your overwhelming thoughts can have on you but you have to do exactly as you said... YOUR BEST! From what i can see and the topics you discuss with us you are a great mom and person! Social media is great but it is so taxing. You are so smart, try not to question yourself. Everything you said hit home with me and obviously lots of other ppl from reading the comments. You are adored. Focus on what you think and feel is best! Remember that no one has all the answers even if they come off like they do. Again, hugs!

I could not relate more to the food talk you were giving! I've started to learn more about the ingredients that go in our food and how over processed everything is and the added hormones etc etc etc and it makes grocery shopping so hard :(. Especially when you're in your twenties and trying to save money but don't want to eat tons of chemicals all the time! Sigh 😅

Love your videos. RU-vid is the only “social media” I have because of the over consumption we all experience. But it would be impossible to do so as an influencer. Stay positive, thank you for your content 💕

We live in a place where it’s impossible to get healthy food and I’m raising three of my grandchildren and it scares me to death. I’m definitely going to raise a garden this year and do some canning and freezing.

You are doing great ❤ no one knows your kids better than you!

lol Kyle - I didn’t even pick them up from school today

Just do the best you can and limit the amount of social media content you consume…everyone has an opinion about everything these days. 💕

Where did you get your blender from?? :)

❤❤❤

We ❤you

Imo it sounds like you need more of a break from social media. Trust in yourself more knowing that you are doing a great job, don’t listen too much to the “advice” on SM. PS your hair looks adorable😍✌️💛

No…it’s a vacation either way….a vacation isn’t just for parents…it’s for the kids as well.

Girl just wait till your 40s! I give zero fucks, and it’s amazing!

I don't watch Instagram or Tik Tok. Too crazy making. Then generally I don't comment on people's videos. Here is an exception. Take care!

At the risk of throwing another opinion at you, I think you’re doing great!

Amen👌💪🙏

Do not take any nutrition advice from anyone who is not a registered dietitian. The internet is absolutely full of bull shit. Also listen to your intuition if you don’t have access to a registered dietitian.

Just eat whatever you want, you only live once. You and everyone else will die one day. Of course don't be like 300lbs. As for stuff/things, function and quality is what matters the most, aesthetics should be secondary. After awhile, you won't care anymore about the way things look, no one cares, trust me, no one cares if your house looks nice. Control what you can, what you cannot, don't worry about it.

Get so annoyed when you look off to the side rather than straight ahead
