I totally agree with you there, too! To each their own, but I feel like currating a pretty life around selling goods just doesn’t seem like the healthiest, happiest existence. Normally I just kind of let people do what they choose to do but yesterday she and a few followers were giving a woman a hard time about having a messy house and that struck me as really uncool.

Thank you for saying what I have been thinking!

I would also like to add that I am so tired of her shilling cheap foreign clothing. I wish that she would instead use her platform to promote ethically and locally made clothing. Buying fewer quality items is so much better for the environment and local labor force.

The way you called out a commenter on your Instagram stories was so uncool. Then you unleashed a little pack of instragram follower bullies on her. For you to sit there, a couple years into motherhood and brand new to motherhood of two, and tell people what is possible – ie a clean house – rings so tone deaf to me. You don’t know the situations of all of your followers. Nor do you even know what it’s like to have children past the ages or families where husbands work demanding jobs or are deployed. Families with many children or children with disabilities. And yet, you can sit there selling them products and an image to make them believe their life can be like yours. Well, I’m proud to say, my house is messy. My kids fingerpaint and craft. They love kinetic sand and play dough. They run through the sprinker and drag in those little grass blades that remind me of my own childhood. They bring home dirt from the petting zoo and the muddy puddles they love so much. The are sweaty after long days at the playground and this glorious sticky popsicle film they ends up in patches in my house. Don’t even get me started on our stomach bug or potty training stains – or battle scars as I’d call them! You choose to prioritize cleaning. Your daughter walking around your house singing Havana is a clean hobby so I guess that’s nice? You had a similar attitude after birthing Molly – “just because I’m a mommy doesn’t mean I’m going to spend my days in my pajamas”. And I gave that to you because you were new to the rodeo that is motherhood. But I’m not watching you on Home and Fanily nor am I following you anymore. I know one person doesn’t matter to you. I never bought the stuff you sold here anyway. But maybe, you could try to understand that not everyone’s situations is yours. And even maybe how maybe some of your fans simply have different priorities than you do. Also, one of your biggest fans – my mom – didn’t keep the neatest house always. But she was the most amazing, fun mother to her THREE under 20 months!!!!! Good luck with the new baby and adjusting smoothly to family of four life.
