REAL + RAW DAY IN THE LIFE OF A STAY AT HOME MOM OF 4 + MOM MOTIVATION | MarieLove 

🌟 I should've mentioned this in the video. But my mind was everywhere. The teacher turned in her doctor note for speech therapy. We're just waiting for them to start it with her. 🌟

My 2nd oldest had speech delay and did speech therapy...he is now 2nd in his class graduating this year. He's extremely intelligent. Hang in there!! She will thrive!❤

Don’t stress mama. My son didn’t know all of his letters or numbers, and could barely write his name starting kinder this year and now he’s got them all down. And can start reading a little bit. I know it’s hurts our mama hearts when we think our kids aren’t where they should be but I promise she will do great and I think you’re doing the best thing you can!You’re such a good mama!! ❤

I have a child with autism and it's hard to see your child struggle. Next year she'll be ahead of the game!! Please remember to take time for yourself too!!

Mama please don't stress, she is going to do just fine. Trust me a lot of kids repeat kindergarten. She is still learning very valuable skills this year. My daughter was also referred to speech therapy along with my niece and nephew. Some challenges are blessings in disguise. Your doing great mom!!!

I kept my son in kindergarten two years. Speech played a big role with him as well. It was HARD hearing it as well but was the BEST decision that could have been made for him!! I promise you will appreciate it later when she is thriving!!❤

She’s going to thrive, Marie. She’s got an amazing support system at home, and that’s what matters more than anything. You’re such an attentive & wonderful mama. Girl, I can’t tell you how many times my husband & I have spilled coffee balancing our coffee mugs in the car like that. 😂🥴🤦🏻‍♀️

Arabella is thriving, her speak delay doesn’t say anything about her intelligence, Einstein didn’t talk till he was 5, she’s a smart cookie and she has the best support. Both my kids were late talkers and now my oldest is advanced class with a incredible vocabulary. All kids learn at their own pace. Love the grocery haul, I was motivated to order everything to make fajitas from your past insta stories, making them this week 😋

Yes held my child back same reason sooooo worth it she is 14 now and she went to kindergarten 2 times and she is thriving - now she doesn't have to struggle to keep up with others - she could not read or speak well and she did speech therapy at school and now in 7th grade honor roll ❤

It doesn’t seem like it now but this is a good thing!! You want her to be one of the older ones!! Not just academically but socially she’ll be one of the leaders and not always trying to keep up with everyone older than her.❤️❤️

I only have one child (an almost ten year old daughter), and some days I struggle to find the time and energy to do all that needs to be done. How anyone thrives while caring for 2+ children is a superstar in my book!

my child had the same issue and I had to be held back as well due to speech. it was the best decision me and his father made. she will be great stay encouraged willbepaying for your baby girl progress in school stay strong mama your doing great!!!

So glad you got your van back! And Bella will be fine. Speech therapy helps a lot. My oldest son had it all through grade school. I worked at my kids elementary school (filled in for all jobs except teaching) and they had teacher aids who pulled a small group out of class everyday who were having the same issues and worked just on that, so they got a lot of individual help. Not sure if they still do that or not. Keep the faith, you’re doing so well!! ☀️☀️☀️

It's better that they hold her back now then if it was in one of the higher grades. Just keep working with her. What helped my daughter with reading are the BOB books. You're doing great mama! All kids aren't the same and all kids don't learn the same. ❤️

My son had trouble with his speech as well. His pediatrician recommended he go to preschool at 3 yrs old and he ended up taking 2 years of preschool. It's soo worth it for them to stay and take their time for the sake of their speech. I know how you feel. It will get better! 😁👍🏻

Marie, don't fret. You have a plan in place. Don't despair, sweet lady. My sons turned 5 in July and August and did two years of kindergarten. So they were 7 when they began first grade. Fastforward... Oldest is in advanced math, Alg II trig a year ahead of the average and had a 4.0 his freshman year. My youngest is ADHD diagnosed and have I cried! He's in grade 6 now with a 3.5 GPA reading at a 10th grade level and his teacher has recommended him for academic decathlon. My point is, you just keep being the wonderful, supportive parent you are. Keep putting in your efforts with Bella. There will be good and bad days. Savor those successful moments and celebrate them. She can do whatever she puts her mind to just never give up. Tenacity goes a long way. She's going to be okay! 😊

I admire your strength Marie. You do SO much on top of working (making/editing content for us and providing an income) and you take care of all of your children so well. As a supporter I really wish your husband could lend a hand with at least dishes or a chore a day. I’ve been watching for a while now and you mention a lot that you do it all alone. I understand he works outside of the home but why doesn’t he contribute? If he does, pardon. I can only speak on what you show us. Stay sweet. Stay strong. You’re always in my prayers. 🙏🏽

I know it's hard to hear that about Arabella, but when she hits that milestone, man will y'all need to celebrate!! You can do this, you are an excellent mamma!!

My story is not the same but similar.....My daughter was not failing but was very immature so in 3rd grade, i held her back... it was the best for her and it worked she did so much better and today she is a Freshmen in HIgh School and is doing great. I will be praying for you and your daughter.

House chores & taking care of kids really is harder than a regular job. What a blessing that you are able to stay home.

Girl, you are such a good mama.. I’m right there with you, it is a lot.. I have 3 and we homeschool and some days it’s just rough. But you are blessed and have a wonderful family! Too blessed to be stressed, that’s what I’m telling myself ❤️

Hey, girl. I think what you have to remember with Arabella is that even being retained, she’ll still be where she would’ve been next year if she had been in pre-K this year. So she really hasn’t lost anything. I know it can be upsetting, my twins were preemies with August birthdays, and I intentionally kept them out an extra year, and I’m so glad I did because my little boy has dyslexia and speech problems. Each kid goes at their own pace, Arabella will be just fine.😊

Prayers. The days are long years are to short when you have kids. Everything be ok it all works out.

It can be so hard when you know that your child could be struggling and you try everything to help them and then to hear news like that from your school it just breaks your heart .. my daughter was having some trouble in school and we were able to get her some help and my husband and I have been seeing good Improvement.. so be encouraged mama good things are coming!

You’re doing such a great job and I understand all mommies duties because they are my daily task as well glad she is getting the help she needs ❤️❤️

You should ask the teacher to be officially evaluated and get her an IEP. You will have to request for the evaluation in person. This is something they do in all the states and they have so many days to have a meeting with you and then they’ll tell you the results of their evaluation. The IEP is where school will have to create a plan to give her that additional time to help her in specific areas where she needs assistance. This is coming from a mama with children who struggle in ELA. Good luck to you mama! Remember, you are the advocate for your child!

Your nails look good like that. I use the nail polish decals that you just file the excess edges off. Way cheaper & quicker than nail salon visits. ❤

Aww thank you girl. ❤😊 for taking us around your life that mom life.

Pre-K where we live starts at 4 & Kindergarten starts at 5!

Love your videos and don’t worry, Arabella will catch up and get to knowing all her ABC’s and numbers, etc…she just learns things in a different way and from one momma who had 4 kids with delayed learning, speech, etc, to another wonderful momma, your doing great and you are amazing! Don’t ever forget that!! ❤

Love watching all of your videos 🥰♥️ you are such an inspiration to so many ♥️

Thank you for always keeping it real! I know what your going through they held my son back in Kindergarten too. He did really good after that I know it was for the best! Your daughter will do amazing just wait and see!!

Arabella will be fine! ♥️ thank you so much for the raw videos. I do wonder how you get so much done, I am tired 80% of my day. 😂 you’re such a good mom. Hang in there!

I loved watching this! I know that was hard news to hear for your mama heart but i think she is going to do great and it will be awesome shell be one of the older kids next year - ella is older and i think it has been so great!

I’m here watching and really enjoying your new video and I hope you have a great day ♥️♥️your the best momma those beautiful babies are so blessed too have such a beautiful and loving caring momma ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️

Good Morning 🌅 and Happy Monday here watching

My boys both have summer birthdays and I debated holding them back a year but didn’t. They both ended up repeating a grade. My oldest in second grade and youngest first grade. I was so upset but it ended up being a blessing. They are both young adults now and doing amazing. My oldest is in the Navy, he has a job he loves with excellent potential when he gets out and my youngest is a college freshman 😊. I know it’s upsetting now but Arabella is going to be ok and do great things in life.

I went through that when young had have special programs that me get thought school. Plus I had a counselor tell me when finished school or graduate but I did. So keep your head up everything is going to be alright.

I loved this video❤Im sorry Bella can’t be in preK this year, that’s hard🙁The days are very busy for you! You do a great job😊👍👍Keep going strong! You’ve got this mama😀

This seems like the best option for Bella ❤ I’m going through something similar with my 3rd grade stepdaughter. Also, thank you for the real DITL; I could watch these all the time! Please do more of them :)

before you know time will fly bye and you will miss those day when you look bad believe I am 77 and I do remember thinking will I ever be free and have time for myself well I have had a lot time and I count my blessings for my family and I love them too. Hang in their honey you wil be reward one day for being that great mommy. Hugs

Love these videos

Hey Marie! My 4 year old is in speech at school and it's really helps! She'll be fine 😊

She will do great, just keep doing what you are doing by supporting her ❤️ Sending love 🫶🏻

tuning in. Cute shirt Marie. Magnatiles are fun and give hours of creative play for sure.

You’re doing an awesome job with those precautions babies, also as for babygirl hang in there, she will get there🌻💕

Hey Marie! Late on your videos! Here I am! My 4 the old was born 3 months early, he is in ESE classes twice a week , speech is included! It's okay if she's a little behind. A lot of kids are. The standards these schools have these days are ridiculous. She will definitely catch on when you least expect it🥰 You order the same stuff I do with Wal Mart! I understand about the exhausted part, I'm the same way, Us as Mom's know that we do what we need to do🤗 3 kids here , 4 , 2 and almost 9 months. My husband works a lot to and it is a lot on one person

You are a wonderful family and a great mother to i wish you all the best for know and in the future sending you all my love

Hey Marie girl you know I can totally relate to all the stuff with kids and doing the extra work to help your little one get caught up. Just keep your head up she'll get there just gonna take extra time and patience. Look at Nolan being the little helper wij groceries. I learned about those pop tarts a while ago because you'd be paying maybe $5 for the other ones and those taste just as good. Be well and have a good rest for the week love🖤

2 years of kindergarten can really be good for kids! i have cried at conferences before ..you are not alone you are doing a great job.

I had a speech delay & comprehension problems my mom worked with me along with having speech therapy in school

Good morning. Arabella will thrive. Your a great mother and between you working with here and the school she will do great. She just needs some extra help. Don’t be so hard on yourself, your amazing mother.

My son has been 'delayed' with almost every milestone, skill, and interest. He is incredibly bright and empathetic (just like your girl), and all is well. You're her mama and you'll know in your heart if/when something is truly off. But if your spidey senses aren't tingling, all is well. ❤️

Missed your vlogs ❤

Hi Marie!!! Watching you get it all done is so calming for some reason. Just love hanging out with you. Arabella is going to be just fine but I understand why it hurts your heart. You're an amazing Mama. Hang in there sweet friend.❤️❤️❤️

Omg clicked soo fast!!!

I love seeing you wear my tees in your videos! So happy to be watching and know Arabella will do amazing with some extra help again in kindergarten! She will do just fine mama. ❤

ALL IS WELL MARIE; Arabella will be fine; all of us humans learn in a different way; and when we become adults it all WORKS OUT! The school should be getting her speech therapy and anything else she needs; please make sure of that Marie, that is what tax money is for. SHARED TO THE BURGH! GOD BLESS

I love the coffee mate coconut creamer! I’ve been trying to find the coconut torani syrup and the raspberry but they never sell it in stores and it’s so expensive online! But I love the torani chocolate syrup too! I want to mix the raspberry, chocolate and coconut in my coffee!

Aww, I wanted to give you a hug. Many many years ago I dealt with similar issues. Speech therapy will be awesome for her! If you haven't checked into it inquire about summer school too. Between 1st and 2nd grade my twins attended summer school and it helped tremendously. Having speech therapy at school and private speech therapy helped them get caught up. They are 21 today finishing up college with honors.

Ur a great mom

One of my children needed a second year of preK before Kinder. Then we discovered they had dyslexia. After getting an extra year and help for dyslexia they did well.

She will be fine i promise i have a lot of hearing loss and i went to speech class and i did fine

Please do not be upset. My Grandson had to repeat kindergarten twice, it was upsetting at the moment of hearing the news but let me tell you it did him wonders. Give it to God, it will be good.

God bless you and your family 💕🙏 every child, perform at different level and your daughter is no different she will pick up at her own pace just work with her, my daughter was like that, and she's 14 yrs now and doing very well in school, your in my prayers 🙏 take things calm and give God the load to carry 🙏👍

Some kids need more. I feel for you. My son went into kindergarten barely knowing any letters ect. He needed someone other than myself teaching him. She will get it. I was held back in 1st grade. I am grateful that my mom made that decision for me. I just needed that extra year. Now I am a business owner and completely secure. I bet your daughter will over come as well. God bless you all

My 4 year old grand daughter is starting speech class soon also!So many munchkins need a little extra help ❤

She is going to be just fine I have a 5yr old autistic grand son and he is in speech and it is helping him so much I'm believing that she will be fine she is perfect in her own way

Don't be so hard on yourself.. Arabella will be fine. Sending prayers and hugs your way.❤️🙏

I feel you it is a lot. I don't have four kids but I do have 6 year old and two year old. It hard trying cook dinner, take of my daughter than my son get home late. They expect so much of these young kids it crazy. I been thinking a lot lately bout doing homeschool with him. Cuz I know he is struggling and it only some much I can do with everything these into been a mom and wife

Bella is going to be okay. I was in speech growing up and the schools helped me so I know they'll help her. Give all your worries to God and he'll take care of them.

Hey Marie, keep your chin up. Bella will be fine, I taught Pre-k for 6 years and had to have them all ready for the testing for Kindergarten. I hate they are so hard on the little ones and Kindergarten can’t be what it was for us. They should most definitely have speech available for her but also she’s so young and some words aren’t going to be perfect yet. It will all come as she gets grows. Just don’t worry she’s so smart she will be just fine❤

Marie I live in British Columbia Canada 🇨🇦 and I can relate my daughter who is now 20 did two years of kindergarten here as well.. as we don't have pre k it was the most beneficial thing they did for her by keeping/holding her back to do another year of kindergarten it made her thrive so much in the second year and she made it successfully thru junior and senior hight abd graduated in 2021 she had some classes modified so she had no problem working and learning best decision ever .. donot worry Arabella willl thrive at her own pace and being held back is a good thing for her she is smart now eager to learn she will conquer hold ur head up high and be proud great choice .. I know it's hard to hear and ur upset but she rocks and will have it

Arabella will be fine sweetie 🥰 Sending my love and prayers from Maryland ❤️

Lmfao. When you "yeeted" tha bottle into tha sink I couldn't help but laugh. I do that all tha time🤦‍♀️🤣🤣

Glad you picked up the camera too.

Don't worry Marie, maybe ! Speech teacher I stuttered long ago my youngest had speech but we got a speech teach in his presence 1 day a week. Yhe good news Marie Bella will jump ahead, so take it as it is. It's juvenile sound rejects. I believe as a mother and grandmother you'll see her Excell from 2nd to third. Each grade a speech teacher and orator She's got this. Don't let this steel your thunder we all have similar trials and tribulations. Hang with it help build her confidence too. God is great and good. Each of our children have pitfalls. Concentrate on all your stick to it get a head. I'm praying, my grandson has excelled as well as have overcome all now skipped now in ahead big time Bless you you've got this. Just saying Later 🐊

I’m sorry Marie! I’m going thru something similar with Abigail. She’s struggling in 3rd grade. I’m trying to help her at home!

I enjoyed this video! Bella is going to do great.

One I'm so happy you have your van back !! Yes !! Next I think she will benefit from being retained cause some way's she will be ahead when she reaches kindergarten. ❤️ But I totally understand how you are feeling as being her mother. None of us want to hear our baby's may be retained. I know I wouldn't either. Pray & ask God to help you deal w this matter. 🙏 What ever becomes of it. Marie, you are a great mother & wife !! Never let anyone tell you any different. Parenting is a daily task we all have to work at. 🙏❤️🎄🤣🎅

I’ve missed your vlogs and was so glad this was a long one! I’m sorry the meeting with Bella’s teacher was upsetting, I hate parent teacher conferences. I always leave crying. My 2 girls both have special needs so those meetings are usually all about what’s wrong with them and what they’re struggling with. My oldest daughter was born at the end of July so she turned 5 right before school started and the same thing, I felt she was too young for kindergarten but the school system said since she was 5 she had to do kindergarten. Academically she was fine, but because of her disorders she struggled socially. It’s so stressful 😢

I’ve been where you are as far as holding my child back a year. My son was already in 3rd grade when he got held back another year. I was devastated, to be honest. It ended up being the very best thing for him. I can’t really even explain why. He’s 31 now and none of us think about it at all. Lol I promise it’ll be ok! I know it hurts your heart at the time, though.

When I was in the 1st grade (I am now 45) my teacher stuck me into speech therapy. I was very shy and when I spoke, I would speak low, and she thought I couldn't talk right! Lol. My mom had to tell her that I could speak perfectly fine at home but at school I was way too shy to talk loud enough to be heard correctly. Lol. Probably sounded like I was mumbling! 🤣

Im sorry that’s so hard as a parent. we’re we live they don’t hold the kids back and my daughter struggles so much.There fountain is made in kindergarten if they would have held her back then I think she wouldn’t struggle so much now I hope Bella gets all the helps she needs your such a good supportive mama she is going to do great things

They put every child on a one way learning path, but it doesn’t work that way. Truly, the kindergarten curriculum is too advanced for the 5 year old brain. Does she know how to play? Well there you go! That’s the best thing she could know at this point. You’re a good mama ❤

Hi Marie Your doing a great Job with your Children an , don't be to hard on yourself i only have one child and Hes 14 nearly 15 ,i can only emation how stressfull and over whelming IT can be for you with 4 Kids. Wonder woman🍵🍵🍵. Iam Glas you got your Van Back hurray you can finally be Out and about again . Your Videos are my Pick me Up i thank you for all the hard Work you Put in your Videos. 🤗🤗🤗

You're a mommy. That's where the energy comes from. Not really energy just being momma. Everything will come together. ❤🙏

My daughter was born in August she repeated kindergarten don’t worry Marie! My daughter did great second time! While their young makes it easier! 🥰😍🤗

It is much time and work being a mom but it's the best thing you will ever do in life. Just remember are children expect us to move mountains and as a mother it's more than mountains. Some how this reading thing and speaking thing can be fixes go to the library get tapes for her to watch and listen to. There's a program she can sleep with it will tell her over and over how to pronounce word's. She's got this. Your children are very smart children you are a wonderful mommy. Please don't beat yourself up tell yourself this will happen. She is a cutie. You got this Marie have your older daughter work with her to make it fun. What about a tutoring her talk with her teacher maybe the weekend's I will pray for you. God Bless you Marie and your family. 🌹

Hi Marie how you doing miss you all so glad you're back on today Arabella is going to be okay I know as a mother we worry about our children and especially when you had her in pre-k at the other school if she has to be held back it's okay maybe the school that she's in will have an opening hopefully let's take a deep breath and one day at a time that's all you can do you are an awesome mom you do a great job and you're very attentive when it comes to your children I love chatting with you I wish you live next door to me you and your family will be in my prayers as always and everything's going to be okay see you on your next one can't wait believe it or not your videos bring me so much joy love you girl ❤️ ❤️ 🎄

My grandson son is same way. His mom would not put him in pre K even though I begged her. He had a hard time sitting down to learn stuff n then in kindergarten he had to have after school tutoring n that has helped but they passed him on to first grade n he wasn’t ready

BTW, Marie, you should sing more!!! You sounded so pretty!

Both of my sons repeated kindergarten. Believe me its worth it. My goodness their so little still.

Hang in there momma. You are such a good momma, and doing your part. I’m questioning why the school isn’t offering speech therapy? As a parent that had a speech delayed child, I would be pushing for speech therapy. I will be praying for y’all.

Arrabella will get it! Just ask God to help her learn everything she needs to and help her speech improve! She's young so plenty of time to fix it! Once you're older like me it's hard I still struggle with speech. My mom didn't really help me. You're doing great ☺️

If you order on the walmart app after typing in your item, I always click sort low to high...its the easiest way to find the best deal and save the most money also always check the grocery rollbacks 💕

Does the school offer any therapies for speech? You are an amazing mom!!!

My one son was held back a year at age six and went from struggling to coping really well thereafter. One of my brothers could not form a lot of words when he was a child and eventually it was discovered that he was tongue tied as a baby and it was not something the doctor had thought of looking for at the time and only discovered when he was six. It was a small procedure to fix and his problem just disappeared . It’s just a thought that you might look into if it’s never been looked at by your doctor. Wishing you all the best 🥰

❤❤❤

Marie Bella will be fine trust me. My kids school is different from most schools in our district and the will keep a child back quick if they see them struggling. I’ve always taught my kids from babies at home even during the summer it’s just all kids learn different and at different paces. One of my sons (who was a twin) was born early like at 23 week and they kept him back because he was delayed and that extra year helped him so much. Nowadays schools have so may resources during school hours to help the kids. Ask them about putting Bella on an IEP Plan ASAP so whenever she restart KG she will have all the extra help immediately. Sending love.
