I don’t know why she even needs a diaper bag, she doesn’t go out anywhere with her kids.

With Forde she had an expensive Petunia Picklebottom diaper bag that she scrapped with Cohen in exchange for a backpack one. Jujube gave her that one. It was a black and white stripe with a black and white floral interior.

SHE WENT OUT AND GOT THE EXACT SAME DIAPER BAG IN A FLORAL PRINT??

The bag is $250 plus tax, people. She spent almost $300 to purchase something she already has!! Minimalism my ass.

It was free. I’m positive of it, since she’s doing a giveaway. She’s too selfish and slimy to actually BUY one to giveaway to a viewer.

So Elle’s interpretation of minimalism is ...

Cheap stuff you BUY = bad
Literally any shit you’re given = good
Expensive stuff you BUY to show off = good
“Clean” house and a basement full of crap = totally fine

With zero regard to intention, need, manufacturing, recyclability, ethics, etc.

I don’t actually care that she isn’t a minimalist. I’m not myself. But stop preaching it and then doing something completely different. OWN IT ELLE. “Hey guys I’m so excited to be pregnant, I’m going to give myself freedom to shop for whatever I want in our budget.” - that little bit of honesty could go a long way vs lie after lie trying to justify why she NEEDS ugly freaky weird high chairs and crazy expensive bassinet and other stuff.

Not to get all psychotherapist but I feel like buying all these things is filling some kind of void. Although I never believed she was a minimalist, she did seem to make more conscious choices before and didn’t always feel the need to buy the latest and greatest. What is this really about? Maybe she knows this is her last baby and she’s going to buy have and do every last thing while she can and while she’s “interesting.” She probably knows that her audience might not want to watch an aging mother who is no longer pushing out babies. It’s some kind of mid thirties crisis or something. On some level I get it as I’m struggling to conceive my third (for three years almost and I would still never publicly discuss this knowing I already have two healthy children) but as I’m coming to terms with this maybe not working and giving up, I am dealing with the idea that I’ll never have a baby again. Not for the attention. Not for the likes or clicks. Just because I really feel the desire to expand my family and that someone is missing from our puzzle. What’s going to happen once “baby girl” is out of the newborn phase and shit gets real? She does realize there will be less Elle time. Her body may not bounce back. She’ll have to actually care for three children? I just don’t think she thinks ahead. She just wants to be pregnant forever. Sorry for the rant.

You’re right, I later finished the vlog and she got it for free. Definitely still frivolous and wasteful though. I’m sure many (if not most) of her viewers wouldn’t be able to afford (or would refuse to pay for) a $250 diaper bag. Having two of these bags makes her seem even more unrelatable. Lump it in with the $1000 chairs, $1500 bassinet, and multiple expensive strollers etc etc etc and she’s just a completely spoiled brat. Or, my favourite, a prize fucking pig.

Mom life for me is scrapping the diaper bag entirely and using a wet/dry bag shoved into my regular purse. I carry a few diapers, a pack of wipes, my nursing cover, and one change of clothes in it. Somewhere in the bottom of my purse is a toy or two and a smooshed granola bar for the toddler. It’s all you need! To me, THAT is relatable. I’ll never understand these moms like Elle who pack their diaper bag like they’re going away for a week.

Smooshed granola bar that is so damn relatable!!

Remember when Elle did the name reveal for Cohen how she had Anna in it, she was walking in the woods revealing letters.

So Randy & Anna did a name reveal two weeks ago for their little girl, her name will be Emmie Joy.

I perused the comments, not one single comment from Elle.

Not ONE.

I guess Anna isn’t at Kyra status and doesn’t attract the “young, hip viewers who buy merch”.

Follow up: Elle didn’t comment on Instagram either. Didn’t even “like” her post about the name reveal.

Ellie Mecham did at least. I guess she has times for her friends.

I’m so confused about the Anna thing!!

A few weeks ago Elle was vlogging in her downstairs powder room and pointed out a small painting that she said her “friend Anna” made for her. Then she quickly moved on. No mention of Anna’s Etsy shop or vlog channel or pregnancy. Can’t remember which vlog it was, maybe a cleaning one.

Found it. My bad, she did mention the Etsy shop. But that’s it.

The Anna thing makes no sense to me. They obviously haven't had a HUGE falling out, but clearly aren’t close anymore. I mean Elle even visited them! And now nothing regarding their new baby, after they experienced infertility and a miscarriage. Disappointing, Elle. What a cold witch.

[toothfairy75]

Recap of today’s video - what’s in my hospital bag.

Video starts with Elle laughing and crying like a rabid hyena because she’s so excited to be having a DAUGHTER.

On and on about how unbelievable it is she’s pregnant and having a girl. Rambling.

Casually mentions a Facebook pregnancy group she posts in. Someone locate so I can harass.

Rambling about drinking water in a very condescending tone. Basically, if we all drank water we could have natural births too.

OILS. Shocker, she uses a ton. Weird comment about how she brings oils to “anoint the baby”. Sounds creepy and unsafe.

Jujube diaper bag. Admits she had one for Cohen and loved it, but decided to buy a “girly print” one this time for BABY GIRL #minimalist

Eyemask so she doesn’t have to look at Dan’s ugly mug during labor.

Multiple music playlists depending on which of her multiple personalities is dominant that day.

Mentions that she plans light because she’ll definitely be going home 2 hours after birth. Dear God please give this woman a c-section.

Diapers - she’s bringing 3 pampers diapers. She did a “scientific study” (lololol) at a pampers event and they are basically paying her now. Another mention of how she trusts them because she did the scientific study herself. Wowww

Weird discussion about how she loves “sustainable” but throws away her clothes and towel after birth because you can never get them clean again. HUH? What kinda of nasty coochie do you have that it can’t be washed after?

Change of clothes for dan. Shocked she even thought of him.

Can’t end without a mention of secondary infertility and how BLESSED she is. Tones of condensation and smugness abound.

I spit out my tea at Dan's ugly mug. Thank you for the laugh.

[toothfairy75]

So the ONLY thing **BaBy GiRl** will have "hand me down" is a couple (like 2 onesies) gender neutral clothes from Cohen - from her video about going through the boys clothes. She donated most of it - and I was thinking, but what if you have another boy after this??

Did you guys see the latest instagram about doing giveaways?? guess she must be feeling guilty about hoarding all that charity money.

OH and I'm placing bets now that she names this poor innocent child after her abusive mother.

[chloe6124]

Why does she always start her IG stories with question for you? Does she realize how annoying that sounds.

She thinks she can engage her audience by asking them mundane questions that she will just do what she wants anyway. She doesn’t really want anyone’s advice or opinion.

I think it must be a fertility journey-related issue. They had two very different journeys toward the same goal, and they are two very different people as well. Elle is very in your face and Anna strikes me as really sensitive and thoughtful. I’m guessing being Elle’s friend was too stressful/triggering for Anna. If that’s the case, I can’t blame Anna at all. We’re talking about Elle here, the girl who announced her pregnancy two days after making her friend’s 16 week miscarriage all about herself by posting a sad selfie. And she’s been smug about it ever since.

I wonder why Elle isn’t part of “Toronto Business Babes”? I noticed they had an event today, she wasn’t there and then I looked and they don’t follow her, she doesn’t follow them. A lot of bomb Toronto bloggers/vloggers are part of that community and it seems her type. I saw them all posting from the event, maybe she ain’t business babe material.

I don’t think Elle is ever on the lookout for opportunities to grow herself as a content creator or human in general. Joining a community like that, with women on a mission would be against everything she stands for... which even Elle herself isn’t clear on.

She’s banking on her kids continuing to make her all her money.

I haven’t seen today’s vlog, but I hope her baby stays transverse and this woman needs a friggin c-section! And just to clarify- I don’t feel there is ANYTHING wrong with a c-section, but we all know how Elle feels about her precious “natural” birth! This woman needs something like that to smack the smugness out of her!

[TeachIT]

Recap of today’s video - clickbait “is baby in the wrong position?!”

Less than 10 seconds in, Elle has cackled at TWO of her own “jokes”.

Cohen plays with scissors for several moments without Elle noticing, despite the fact that he’s trying to show her, because she’s too busy talking to the camera #momgoals

Shows us a picture frame from ~*bAbY GiRl’S*~ room and says “sneak peak!” like we’re all waiting on edge to see her nursery reveal. It’s a nursery, Elle, not the next big iPhone release.

Random boring shots of her dorm-room-chic decor, house isn’t immaculate and she says “keeping it real”

Going in to midwife she admits she’s “dumb” while pregnant and worried it won’t go away. Somehow this turns into an attack on Dan and how dumb HE is. Specific nagging examples of him forgetting egg cartons. Poor dude looks so uncomfortable.

Baby isn’t head down but isn’t completely breech. Somewhere in between. I thought drinking water and magic oils would surely be the key to making baby go head down? She has a strong marriage, shouldn’t she be blessed with fertility and good birth?

Shows the same cardboard toys she already posted on IG. Elle likes that the tones of color are her style. Eyeroll.

Boring montage of kids playing with cardboard. I don’t even want to watch my own kids do that.

Same spiel (word for word) about sunscreen she’s already shared on IG. In case you wondering if everything was scripted and planned out, YEP.

Admits she bought preparation H. What a magical relatable realistic mother.

Shameless use of ~*bAbY GiRl’S*~ position as a way to ask people to subscribe “so you can see if she doesn’t turn and the birth plan changes!” - aka “I’m desperate for content and milking this baby as far as it goes!”

[Margie]

Ok, watched today’s vlog. Does anyone else feel cringey when she criticizes Dan? It makes me so uncomfortable because I feel like she genuinely doesn’t like him or care about him. Also- I wonder if Elle is aware that being scatterbrained is a sign of high intelligence?? I didn’t until we had my son tested and the psychologist explained it to me. That was a definite perspective shift for me as to how I view my son and my husband! Maybe Elle needs some education on this stuff so she can treat her husband with the respect he deserves!

Oh- and in case any of you missed it... her eggs are from chickens with a good life- ETHICAL! And they do a carton exchange program there- ENVIRONMENTAL!! Didn’t want you guys to miss those key points that indicate how amazing Elle is!

And OMG! If she mentions in one more video about how the colour tones of her kids shit is “nice and not bright”, so help me god! This woman needs to take a course on early childhood development! Bright colours are good and ATTRACTIVE to kids Elle! Get over yourself and let this season of your life be what it is! Quit denying your children basic childhood indulgences for the sake of your stupid and ugly aesthetic! Give your head a shake girl!

Also Elle, in case none of your “friends” have mentioned it to you, this hairstyle you are sporting does NOTHING for you! The centre part looks like you are fighting the natural direction of your hair...except you’re losing the fight. It looks like you don’t know what you’re doing when it comes to a simple part, and the curls are horrendous and look like they belong on a 7th grade girl who is just learning how to do hair. I honestly think your horrendous top knot is better than this atrocity.

And I’ve never wondered if you live a really glamourous life. Not once. I see you. You’re basic, girl. And your cheesy “I’m so funny” laugh needs to stop, you look like a doofus when you do it and also, you’re not funny. Ever.

Long petty rant? Maybe, but Elle is also long winded and petty af, so... it’s a fair playing field!
