You will make it through. These days won’t last he will grow very very soon. Make sure you communicate and always tell him the truth and lead by example.

Some people do not realize how fortunate they are to have parents. I like that you show cased your mom in this episode! I grew up without a mom and my dad was never present, so I agree, cherish your parents and siblings for that matter. Love your channel.

You remind me that parenting should be fun, spontaneous, and filled with laughter - thank you for that!

I could write a book about my parents. They had me much later than my siblings so I was their little buddy always. I’d go to work with my dad or run errands with my mom and I was convinced they were super hero’s. Kids notice. They might not know why but they know they are safe and happy because their parents out in effort

I agree with the other reply: maybe you SHOULD write a book! Being encouraged in life is such a soul-filling experience. I’m certain there are many that could benefit.

Being a parent is definitely hard. Though the children don't always realize what you're going through, seeing them happy and at peace is beautiful. I love how your kids come running, excited to eat their food. Congrats on your beet harvest!

Wow your comments at the end had me tearing . I’ve earned a newborn respect for you and your heart , your such a thoughtful person and thank you for those last few sentences that managed to pull on my heart strings.

That last part made me cry. I have two that are 14 months apart who are 5 and 6 now, and an almost 1 year old. I homeschool them and my husband is working full time and finishing his degree full time. I am exhausted and have full hands and a very full heart. Thankful for your mama's wisdom and the words from you.

Redeeming wounds through your future and leaving the trauma cycle in its tracks. Wow, such beautiful words. That has been my mission from the minute I found out I was pregnant with my first. Thank you so much for the encouragement, Ellen ❤️

I'm crying with the end of your video, so beautiful and so powerful words, I miss my mum so much, she died two weeks after I gave birth to my son, he's five now, I wish I could ask her million things everyday... and I truly would love to travel in time and see my mother with her 5 young children, just being a mother... I now understand so many things, why she was always falling sleep everywhere for example hahahah also my dad a super hero, I still have him and I'm so glad. Thank you Ellen for making us don't forget about the hard work our parents did, and do everyday for us :)

I didn't think I was going to cry at your video today Ellen ❤ I have amazing childhood memories. We are raising 4 kids, one with special needs . Its alot, but your encouragement makes me think , maybe I'm not screwing it up too bad . Thank you Ellen

I’ve always loved my mom. Never doubted it for a day but WOW my eyes opened and my love grew for her once I had my oldest. I was sobbing sending her texts telling her how much I appreciated her and loved her. And you’ll never understand how much your parents love you until you have a child of your own. Then it’s like wow, my parents feel this way about me? It’s amazing.

This made me cry. Its been rough lately with my boys arguing among other things and I am definitely feeling stretched. I loved when your mum said "you stretch and you grow" it made me realise that this moment in our lives is helping me to grow and now I'm grateful for this part in my parenting journey. Thank you for making this video.

From someone who is reparenting myself, while parenting my 4 kids. It’s hard, and hearing you say these words were so encouraging. God bless your precious family Ellen❤️

Such a sweet, lovely message. I like that you did this outside of mother's day. Mothers - and all parents - ought to be acknowledged regularly for their hard work. Even though I'm not a father or mother, you inspire me give my best to the children in my life.

Absolutely beautiful. I really (really) needed this today. Also, eating vegan is a natural form of Self Care. As a mother who has made poor and unhealthy food choices in the past-with devastating health issues that resulted in expense medical bills and many trips to the ER and hospital-I now realize that Self Care is vital. There is a difference between spoiling yourself and wisely nurturing yourself so that you can nurture others. You can’t give what you don’t have. And Ellen Fisher is such an inspiring example of finding a beautiful balance at every stage of her motherhood experience. Love you so much Ellen!! Praying for you & your sweet family ✨❤️💫

Out of all the things I’ve experienced in life, being a mom to my 3 boys has given me the utmost joy and reward. Wouldn’t change it for anything!

Elvis at the end 😭😭😭😭 God bless you and your family, Ellen! You are wonderful, sister 💘✨

This is so inspiring. I'm thriving as a vegan and am determined to stay vegan through pregnancy by doing my research and nourishing myself real well

The end sentence got me crying so damn much girl jeeze. Thank you for saying that it is hard seeing examples of healthy families when you never had one but its so thoughtful and impactful that you mentioned this.

Seeing you hug your mom brought me to tears. We just unexpectedly lost my mom. I love your channel. Enjoy your Sunday and Halloween 🎃

oh im so so sorry for your loss!! how hard that must be to loose your mom unexpectedly. sending love from across the world

Ellen, this is one of your best videos ever.! It spoke right to my heart. Sometimes I think we wake up on auto pilot, hurrying through the day to make sure all the “stuff”gets completed. We don’t stop what we are doing to have conversations with our kids or engage with them. Time sure does fly by and pretty soon our children are all grown up. All that time was lost just so I could have a clean house. Thank you for showing me to slow down, be present and enjoy this precious time. It’s SO worth it!

This video came at the perfect time. Our third baby was born just a couple of days ago, and while I am more excited to be a parent than ever and more in love with being a mama to these little ones, looking at all the changes and adjustments ahead is very overwhelming, and I feel so inadequate. Thank you for this wonderfully-timed message and for the constant encouragement and advice you give to parents. ❤️

Andrew with a shirt on is mind blowing 😂❤️

Your an inspiration. Thankyou. especially for the narative at the end of this video., sometimes people need to hear that. a big huge virtual hug to you too , thankyou for caring !

Elvis‘ words are so true. He already knows how awesome you are. Had tears in my eyes watching the end over and over again.

I was not expecting to cry at the end there 🥲 (despite reading comments that everyone else did too.) Thank you for your encouragement💕

I’m in tears. Beautiful ending Ellen! I just had my third baby and everything has felt so hard. This video was so needed and a great reminder. Thank you for what you do and share with us!! ❤️

I also saute the greens with garlic, sea salt, olive oil along with other greens from the garden. Smoothie, , sautéed, or any other recipe - yummy and so good for you! on a different note, along with nurturing others I feel that it so important to have self care (versus self-indulgence) and sometimes that does require that we are "selfish". We cannot serve others if we are drawing from an empty well. You seem to be good at balancing all of that.

A beautiful and encouraging video. Exactly what I needed for today. I am being the mom I so desperately needed but never had, it's so hard but SO worth it. You are very blessed to have your mom, she seems like a lovely and caring soul.

Making some cry today! In a good way❤️ I feel this all the time. I’m so thankful to still have my parents here on earth with me and I cherish that.

As a new Mama, long time watcher, I so appreciate & needed this. Thank you Ellen. ❤️❤️ brought tears to my eyes 🥺❤️

That was such a gorgeous message Ellen. The mirroring of parent to child and child to parent is so moving. Thank you.

What a beautiful video and message. Exactly what I needed to hear! We are definitely in a busy season of parenting, where I often find myself feeling exhausted. This was a beautiful reminder of why all of us parents do what we do! Thank you for being real and honest.

Ellen, I absolutely love your message with your mom and at the end. It is beautiful and thank you.

had me teary eyed at the end

Thank you for your bravery of sharing such a beautiful truth. Hugs!

The message you offered in this video is priceless. Thank you for sharing. ❤️

Thank You this was so beautiful and I needed to hear this. I'm a mom of four my husband works alot I home school my four children so life can seem a blurr and like everything I do is unnoticed so this was a nice thing to hear. Thank you Ellen. You and your family and mom are so beautiful.

On behalf of your children, thank you. I only have one toddler and I desperately want to homeschool her. Some days I'm not so sure that will happen, because it seems tough. But you most certainly are appreciated.

Hannah definitely looks like Mama!

i love the sweet encouragment you give in this video! being a Mom is so sweet and hard good work! youve inspired me for years!

Im crying, thank you Ellen for the beautiful message. Perfect timing!!

Wow this was beautiful and so encouraging made me tear up, thank you for this message!! On social media we hear all the time “self care self love etc”. It was so nice to hear an alternative message of encouragement- that this is just a season of life. And we are doing important kingdom work in the lives of our children! THAT is what keeps me going 💗

Love you and your family Ellen! 😊 thank you for being an inspiration to live my best life! More blessings to you and your family! 💕

My sister and I are also 14 months apart and we are best friends. We both watch your channel and Hannah’s and want to have future families like your guys’

The way you look at your mom is wonderful. You can see the admiration in your eyes❤️

Ellen thank you for this video wr had fertility issues and after tragic miscarriages we adopted via foster care. We love our kids so much and are blessed to have them but it is draining. Thank you for acknowledging this

Great video, Ellen! Super short, simple, genuine and super encouraging! Loved it!🤗

What a beautiful ending, it gave me tears in my eyes Ellen. You're amazing!

Being a parent makes you appreciate everything your parents did to you, am so grateful I still get to see my parents and tell them how thankful I am . My baby has taught me a lot and am still learning, some days are tougher than others but at the end of the day when he lays in bed, am in total bliss knowing I have the greatest present in my life . Praying for all mothers and fathers

I love how dedicated your mum is to being a mum and grandmother.

What a beautiful picture of the rewards being parents but also to all those parents who worked hard doing what they knew best. As my mom is so far away and raising her grandchildren. I feel both are missing out on so much and my dad gone. Makes me realizes all the sacrifices they gave. Watching you hug your mom, I only wish I could do that for real. Thanks for the beautiful picture and the encouragement I needed as my husband and I raise our little people.

Today of all days I needed this reminder. Thank you so much!

Elvis at the end...pure gold. God bless

I love this so much, Ellen. I wish I would’ve known you when my children were littles. The traumas and pain have made me a better parent, and better human. You’re videos are beautiful! I think I’ve watched every single one. Blessings to your lovely family. Thank you for this inspiration

Thank you so much for posting videos. I lol forward to them. This one made me tear up at the end. You’re an amazing mother.

I needed this so much today! Thank you for the message and words of encouragement.

Crying! Love this and you Ellen! God bless you and your family! You are helping make this world a better place 🤍

Oh my! This got me!! Having a ‘troubled’ childhood myself, i am constantly trying my best to be there for my kids as much as possible but yet also feel like such a failure because I don’t have much money, because I sometimes do get impatient, because my marriage isn’t a perfect role model for them because im currently overweight snd struggling to get healthy.. I could go on! I recently took my son out of school to home educate and it’s been hard, I feel like it’s for the best but he opened up to me a little the other day and he’s having feelings no 12 yo should have to have and it makes me so sad that he’s not as happy as I’d hope he would be. Forgetting the written work for now and concentrating on mental health is my way forward! Sending so much love and hugs to all mamas especially those who are struggling! ❤️ Thank you Ellen for your beautiful video and wise words and encouragement, you’re a beautiful soul! Xx

You must be doing the right thing if your son trusts you to share such raw feelings. I don't think it's as uncommon as you might think it is--especially with what is happening n the world. Try to find your tribe. Maybe a meet-up for a vegan potluck. Maybe you can find other homeschooling parents with similar values. You've got this! 👍🙏

Great to see creators showing the world how amazing life is and can be. Love the Podcasts too. 🤙

This is such a stunning video, thank you so much for sharing this. Elvis at the end is just so beautiful, I'm relieved I'm not the only one getting emotional!

That is so true !!!! What you put into parenting is so worth it my two sons are amazing young men and I’m so proud of them everyday ❤️and your mama is the sweetest and so are you!!!

needed this right now more than ever ❤️

Definitely needed to hear those words today. Thank you! ❤️❤️

thank you so much Ellen for your amazing videos! You made me teary))

I’m not a mom yet but my parents were amazing growing up 🤍 One day I want to do just as well as they did, I have nothing but happy memories about my family life growing up

Always questioning whether I’m doing a good job as a single mum of two boys. It’s extra tough with an autistic 4 year old too. It’s videos like this that help me get through those really tough moments and inspire me to do better. Thank you x you are honestly my biggest inspiration. My boys and I love watching your family xxxx

Amazing video Ellen, as usual. 😀 I'm excited for the time in my life when I get to be a parent. I was so blessed to get the parents I have. 🙏

You had me tearing up at the end. Since I had my son I often mourned my past independent life and felt like I could never get back town that. This Video made me realize that everything is just a phase, and that the years of sacrificing yourself to your children pass by so quickly. I may not get lots of time for myself for a few years, but all will be caught up on later. Kids are only little for such a short time.

Beautiful soul and family 💕 thank you for these wonderful videos Ellen

Thank you for sharing this sweet but oh so true message! Changing lives!

Elvis’ comment at the very end made me cry. So sweet.

Board games in the morning brought me back a lot of memories! You all look so happy and healthy! You are winning!

I will always love you n your family .. I so look up to this type of lifestyle ❤️🙏🏽 it’s so refreshing to watch these beautiful clean videos

What a lovely message. Thank you💕

You are an a absolutely beautiful and purposeful mother Ellen. Much love to you & your family🧡

What a beautiful message you shared in this video 🥰

Gosh. I miss my Mom and Father💕

Another amazing video ending with a very healing message, Thank you.

💜💜💜💜 parents need that validation and love!!

The minute you spoke at the end I just became waterworks, what a beautiful message❤️

the best videos in the wolrd, thank you so much!

Such a beautiful and important message 🌞

This made me tear up! So beautiful!😍😇

Your videos have made me so excited to become a mom someday 💗. Even when talking about the hard parts you always seem so grateful for your family and it's beautiful. I became a subscriber when Sandy was born and I haven't missed a video since, each video fills me with peace, gratitude and inspiration. I also can't believe how big all the kids have gotten. Side note! Ellen I would love to see you try some curly hair products and show us in a video!😍

Love this Ellen!

I absolutely needed this. I too have 4 kids like you. 3 boys and 1 girl. My oldest is going to be 7 years old and then i have a 4 year old, a 2 year old, and a 8 month old baby. Your life is my goals. I dream of documenting my life and my childrens life and capturing these beautiful moments but also the unedited raw moment and sharing it with the world and eventually making enough to have my husband home with us. We'd love to homeschool and be fully vegan just havent been able to commit. Thank you for sharing your life and making me see that it is possible.

A very moving tribute to parents. As a mummy your video make me cry.

Amazing video, Ellen! Love you!

Love this! Anima Mundi Herbals is my favey. I use one of their products almost every day of the week! 🙌

This one got me teary ❤️

I loved that video❤. You are so natural. I like the way you enjoyed the beetroot bake. That's what we do when i try something new. I think i'll try that recipe,i love beetroot.

Hi Ellen, I wasn’t sure where else to write this but I would love to see an EPIC Holiday ebook with veganized holiday food and/or holiday foods people may not have thought of!!! ❤️ I am trying to transition to a more plant based diet and would love your amazing ideas and meals! Thanks!

You’re such an inspiration!

Tears in my eyes....such a special video...loved Elvis' pronouncement at the end ❤

I needed that boost today thank you 😊

I loved seeing your Mom, you should totally do a podcast with her. I would listen to it. Great success 👍

So cool to see this brand in your video, I'm using their Ashwagandha powder now for a half year for better sleep. Such a good brand and love the fact that it's all 100% natural and organic

This was a beautiful video, thank you 💜

Crying this hit me so hard I’ve always, always wanted to be a mom for as long as I can remember. My early teenage years were rough, my mom worked so hard to help me but I still was a teenager.. and rude at points. (Ugh teenagers) As of now though being 19, nannying for 3 years now with kids i love like my own i have already grown to appreciate and basically be in woah of how amazing my mom is. Every mom is. I still can’t wait to have kids of my own but until then I’m thankful I have this life and an amazing mother and kids I can watch!
