WHAT I DO ALL DAY AS A WOMAN OF LEISURE



Hey vlogfam, happy new vlog. In this one, I’m sharing how I make Simon’s baby food, creating a new bouquet with my lilies and roses, enjoying the outdoors and creating. I struggled this week with feeling in a funk, but I managed to find center. Hope you enjoy!

  1. Seriously? Think of who would watch anything, looking to complain or get angry about another's life, especially if they look remotely happy. It is only those not happy within. How often have you met a happy, confident, fulfilled woman who spend her free time seeking to make rude comments to others for being happy or picking apart their lives? You don't… because no happy, confident fulfilled woman does that. They look outward hoping to see the joy they feel also in the lives of others, wishing that for other women.

  2. super weird (bc internet) but it always feels like you’re my big sister i can look up to

  3. 💙💐💙

  4. Thank you for sharing yourself, your journey, and your wisdom with us. You are a wonderful human 💙

  5. Lol omg the things people say make me question who raised them … like would they say to someone irl “what’s your husband do “ in a snotty way because they’re making assumptions about your lifestyle? Probably not right , because they know it’s generally rude and none of their business, but online somehow rules of social appropriateness go out the window 😬

  6. Taking care of a baby is hard work I don’t get people

    I love these blogs! Thank you for being your authentic self!

  8. Thank you for sharing your moments of joy, it inspires me to find moments of joy in my own life.

  9. Loving these pool thoughts with Kackie, so relaxing 😌

  10. I love this! “Full time” for me as a therapist is working 3 days/week about 15 hours a week. I’m trying to reduce even more. People often condescendingly ask me “what will you do with all your extra time?” To which I say “I WILL ENJOY IT!”

  11. I must know where that robe is from, it looks so comfy. Sending you so much love and peace, hoping to curate a similar life for myself.

  12. 💗🤗❤😍💟😊💖

  13. Love this video…you are such an inspiration to me as I start my own journey on becoming a mom in a few months. I’ve wanted to make my own baby food for when my wee’an is at that point but was so intimidated by the process of it until I watched this video.

  14. the pool duck during yoga is the best

  15. This was such a relaxing vlog to watch. I really struggle with taking my time back. When I get a minute to breath it’s like I look around and don’t even know where to start lol I don’t know how you keep a sane routine!

  16. You are brave for sharing as much of your life as you do! I would be too scared of all the crazy judgements. The fact that you make your kid's baby food is amazing!!

  17. Love that outdoor situation.

  18. I heard a phrase today, which I have heard before but forgotten. The idea is that we are not responsible for how people feel about us. I think it’s a good reminder for us and our mental health. I am sorry that people have said these things to you that are running in the hamster wheel of your mind. I have two kids, a twenty-two year old son and a sixteen year old daughter. I remember with my first I felt like I ceased to exist for a while, essentially this little human takes over your whole life. It sounds like you are really on top of recognizing your own needs and value, which has so many benefits to you and your son. I think society has socialized women to feel like once they have a child their whole life purpose and value revolves around their children. I reject that, I love my children with all my heart, but I need more. I need to be fulfilled by those things that make me feel who I am, and that I am contributing to my own happiness and growth. For me that is my career, doing the activities that make me happy and my relationships with those important in my life. I really hope that I am modelling for my children that valuing ourselves is equally important to our valuing of them. I think that we teach them to value themselves in that. All of these things can exist at the same time, it doesn’t have to be a choice. And honestly, being in a funk is completely normal, who doesn’t have a bad day, or week? You are not in the Truman show for God’s sake. You are sharing your life with us. Be well Kackie, big hugs.

  19. It is such a shame how negative comments stand out to us rather than the positive. I’m new to your channel and I totally have enjoyed your bubbly personality! There will always be those you try to put people down because of there own insecurity. Just know they are the problem don’t take their problems in your head. You are a living doll ! Hope this make sense.

  20. I have never wanted a pool so badly. You totally sold me. Just the sound of it in the last clip was so relaxing!! We moved a year ago for my husbands job and we tried to find one with a pool, but the market was so intense.

  21. In all your wink spare time, you could take close ups of some of the plants you haven't identified – maybe we can help. That part of the rose is the crown, the place where the rootstalk connects to the parts you see.
    Love the haircut!!

  22. I tend to skip a lot of other yt's contents about how they're a parent, I don't have children myself so I don't always get it, but I really like how you talk about your family. I like that they're such an important part of your life, but that you're working on maintaining space for yourself. It seems really healthy. Also major congrats on your lovely house, it looks so relaxing in your backyard, and who wouldn't want to spend time gardening and picking flowers if they could.

  23. You and I could not be more different….and that’s ok. I still adore your content and have been a fan for awhile. People need to be a bit more kind. What’s that saying…something like “get your own house in order before you judge someone else’s house.”

  24. Love seeing you add more lifestyle content and branch out from makeup! So relaxing to watch and fun to see your beautiful house! Congrats again on your big move! Austin can't hold a candle to that forrest oasis in New Jersey 🙂

  25. Thank you for making this. I really appreciate you being so real, open and vulnerable.

  26. I'm too late, but does anyone know what hair cutting scissors those are?

  27. I’m learning from you how to prioritize myself and my mental health when I have kids someday so I’ll be a good mom. I always worry about my depression and anxiety interfering with that but when I see your videos I am reminded of ways to keep that from happening when the time comes

  28. I kind of have no words here…

  29. "I don't remember complaining" best way to cancel any negative comment. I really admire how you have made all the decisions that have led you to your current life. Making decisions is hardddd.

  30. I appreciate so much that you show us such beautiful parts of your life while being so authentic and real! It honestly motivates me to aim for a life of enjoyment and self-reflection and hard work and appreciation of nature!
    Real question: where do you get your groceries?! Those strawberries had me drooling 😆🥰

  31. Hi, I'm new here and just wanted to say that I am so glad I found your channel! The segment about judgement and being accepted was something that really resonated with me.

    For what it's worth I quite enjoy your "leisure" content; it gives me peace in the present, and hope for the future that I can enjoy life like that one day!

  32. The fact that you are wearing fuzzy socks in June … makes me jealous

  33. I think, and I say this as someone who's beloved younger sister is a stay at home Mom who struggles with time and self worth, that our culture, both in the workplace and throughout the country, has done very little for women in terms of children/no children. Women without children in the workplace are expected, explicitly, to work as if they have no life. And if they (like I did several times) take time off for themselves or for family issues, those are given no significance. And women who stay at home, whether as stay-at-home Moms or at home businesses, get treated like chattel to their spouse (husband or wife). I even still fall pray to this, so even though I knew this title was a response to a comment (obviously), I delayed watching it a week because having lost both parents, these kinds of things can do a number on me. At the end of the day: (1) are you, your spouse, and your husband happy; (2) do you have a financially sustainable (as much as any of us) lifestyle; and (3) are you being real about your choices (again, as much as any of us)? And if yes, people can STFU. Do you need to post your taxes and investments for the last five years on instagram? I made my decisions to marry my wife, not have children, own a horse, and work a ton a long time ago and revisit it every few years. And every few years, I may care more about my house and my garden, and slightly less about work, or more about work and less about something else. I wish all people who choose to have children (or care for family) could do so as you do, but I don't want to do it and I'm not envious of you for political decisions that make that less possible for some. I just know how hard my sister works to raise two amazing babies and the loneliness and exhaustion and desire for a little more validation she feels in the middle of the night texts we have. I hope you continue to stay on the path to keep up having an impactful and beautiful life. And that we could all raise each other up a bit for our uniqueness instead of tearing each other down. Cheers to you Kackie.

  34. Hi Kackie! I love your enormous glasses! Where did you get them/what brand are they? I just went to get new ones and my optician did not have anything as big as what I was hoping for.

  35. Kackie you can totally take credit for your garden. You may not have planted the plants but you are keeping them alive and THAT is a feat in and of itself.

  36. These vlogs constantly show me to really value my free time and to even go as far as romanticizing it. Working Monday through Friday 8 to 5 can easily take over my life and I can begin to let the self care things go and these vlogs really show me to give myself these personal moments. ❤️

  37. You are the enemy because you have a nice looking life. If one works hard to get ahead they are not respected for what they’ve achieved but hated. We have become a people that believe they deserve whatever they want. Accountability and personal responsibility are no longer valued or taught.

  38. The Baby Nutribullet blender SMILES at you!! This is the most adorable thing!

  39. Why tf keep cats and then KNOWINGLY keep deadly flowers near them?!? Pretty gross!
