Re: ObbsandLala
Yes. All she does is book reviews now, which is cool. But she was the only mom vlogger that I actually liked.

Re: ObbsandLala
I think cause Liam is oldest now she doesn't feel like she has much to talk about.
I kinda wish she would have another baby (I think they mentioned they have issues TTCing) She's one of the more sane YouTube mommies.

Re: ObbsandLala
I will say it again, I miss her vlogs. Her and Bonnie from HarrisFamilyJourney are the only seemingly sane moms and seem like people I would actuallky want to be friends with. Everyone else I just hate watch.
Can anyone recommend any other mommy vloggers who are similar to these girls?

I followed Melissa Baby Dreams but her son was recently diagnosed with Williams Syndrome so she hasn't been able to post.
I used to love Lisa Marie TTC but since Gemma was born she changed and does way too many reviews
Oh AnatasiaRuby!! She's not very active. But she's also Canadian!! Haha. She's a good mom too. She does baby name series.
If you couldn't tell, I'm Canadian

Re: ObbsandLala
I'm on this site to snark- but I have to admit I love Kayla. She seems down to earth, fun, and I think she's an incredible parent. I really miss her vlogs and she helped me a ton when I was researching CDing.
About her weight- I actually love that she is a YouTuber who is not stick thin. I love that she is confident enough to be in front of a camera. I will say she wears her weight really well because I remember being surprised when I first day full body shots.
I believe they genuinely do eat really healthy- 80% of the time. My husband and I are like that. I'm very educated about healthy eating and mostly follow thru- but unless he and I are both being 100% committed - we both barely lose weight. My guess is she's like us and is quite healthy- but falls off the wagon sometimes and it slows down her weight loss a lot.
My heart goes out to her ttc journey. Liam is such a cute and smart kid- I hope they have another one day! I know she always wanted a bigger family.

Re: ObbsandLala
I agree. I hope she has another and she's still so young so she has plenty of time.
I'm a big booktube follower (great GG's thread about them) and she's one of the only ones I trust.
The booktube section is filled with vloggers who say they like every freaking book. (Plus they are all sponsored by Big Publishers.) While Kayla has a healthy amount of one and two star ratings. I sound like a minion but she's still REAL.

Re: ObbsandLala
I agree, I have been following her booktube as well and it just makes me miss her vlogs even more!
I understand her not wanting to be a "mommy youtuber" but I wish she would do weekly vlogs still, I even enjoyed her grocery hauls/meal planning.

Re: ObbsandLala
Conspiracy theory. It's very possible I am way off and completely wrong.
About a year ago Kayla and her family went to California to visit another small YT family. Kayla lives in Canada that's a big trip just to visit an Internet friend. Well now that friend is in her third trimester with a surrogacy pregnancy. It's been years of Kayla having fertility issues I wonder if all this has a connection. Seen comments on both sides but maybe I'm reading into them a bit much we shall see.

Re: ObbsandLala
I didn't know she had a thread on here! I never watched her mom channel as I found her through her booktube channel less than a year ago. I like her as a booktuber. She reads the type of books I'm interested in rather than just YA or dystopian like everyone else. However I can't understand how she doesn't work yet still justifies buying so many fcking books! Thrift store or new, that still adds up fast! And half the time she doesn't even know anything about them. Such a waste. Also find it odd Liam calls his parents by their names. They seem to have a more older sibling relationship with him rather than a parent relationship.

Re: ObbsandLala
I've been waiting for this thread to pop up for quite some time now. I'm friends with her on her youtube based facebook, but I don't think she uses it anymore. I've never seen her as anything but a cocky, "I'm better than you" bitch, however I haven't watched her in at least 2 years.

Re: ObbsandLala
She makes money from youtube and I am pretty certain she does freelance work as a graphic designer. Her husband works.. They live in a small apartment. I think books are her "splurge" so I cant really fault that. Think of the shit most youtubers blow on Target crap.genericusername wrote:I didn't know she had a thread on here!
