Classically Abby - Goodbye, Classically Abby

00:00:00.000 it's time to say goodbye to classically abby it has been about five years since i started my youtube

00:00:07.280 channel i think it's about five years and i have loved every second of making content for you all

00:00:15.760 i think any creator of a youtube channel of a brand believes in everything that they've done

00:00:22.960 but also changes over time and i know that that's true for me and i know that you constantly see

00:00:28.400 on youtube channels like you've changed so much from when you started and you know i don't hear

00:00:34.480 that all the time which is nice but i have been thinking for a long time about how much i i have

00:00:44.640 changed and how my priorities have shifted when i first started my youtube channel i was a new wife

00:00:50.560 and i really wanted to share advice about dating i wanted to share advice about being a wife and

00:00:57.120 how to embrace femininity and womanhood in this crazy world that we live in that kind of rejects 0.60

00:01:04.480 traditional values and classic living and that was really my passion and i loved sharing that

00:01:09.600 with you guys and i talked a lot about cultural commentary and i sometimes delved into politics

00:01:15.040 but then i had my children and all those things still matter to me don't get me wrong and i still

00:01:20.160 really enjoy talking about them but the thing that matters most is being a mother to my children when

00:01:27.440 people ask me what i do the first thing i say is i'm a stay-at-home mom because that is my full-time

00:01:33.280 role i am a mother and caretaker for my boys and hopefully with god's help we have many more children

00:01:41.200 so that i can continue to to be a homemaker and on top of that i want to homeschool my kids so i'm not

00:01:49.440 going to have that much time to sit down and make a bunch of content for all of you guys and even

00:01:54.560 though i love doing classically abby and even though it feels like a mission in many ways i think

00:02:00.640 it's a distraction sometimes from my greater mission which is being present and there for my boys and i

00:02:07.360 never want to take away from them by doing things here on my channel or for my brand and so even though

00:02:15.760 i'm not going to be posting on my youtube channel anymore i have some exciting news so i have been

00:02:22.560 thinking a lot about where my priorities have shifted and what my time looks like right now and it

00:02:29.120 became incredibly clear to me that the thing that i think is the most important for me to put out there

00:02:37.680 like what my mission is right now is to create a community for first generation stay-at-home moms

00:02:44.880 i consider myself a first generation stay-at-home mom it has been a very long time since someone in

00:02:51.200 my family a woman in my family has been at home with her kids my mom worked my grandmother worked 1.00

00:02:57.120 and so i didn't have those really important lessons of how to be a homemaker how to be a stay-at-home mom

00:03:04.320 and how to be a homeschooler but that's in parentheses because that's not as common

00:03:07.520 like passed down to me so i have had to learn all of this stuff through friends through books and

00:03:15.120 through experience and i think that that is something that is sorely lacking in our culture

00:03:21.760 is how to equip women who want to be stay-at-home moms with the tools to do so and i'm really excited

00:03:28.640 to be launching the first generation stay-at-home mom on instagram and on substack what i have time for

00:03:34.240 right now is writing i can sit down and write like three articles in an hour because the ideas

00:03:40.080 i can't even tell you they're pouring out of me all of the things i want to talk about with you guys

00:03:44.240 all the things i want to share with you all of the things i want to hear from you about are just

00:03:49.760 coming out of my fingertips and so i want to share that stuff with you i don't have time to put on

00:03:55.440 makeup do my hair set up my filming station record edit every week i just don't but i do have time

00:04:03.280 to sit at my computer for discrete amounts of time write and edit that is something i can do and

00:04:09.760 one of the things i prefer about that medium right now is that i can take the time to write exactly

00:04:18.240 what i mean and edit it and not worry about okay when i'm sitting here and recording and talking to

00:04:24.480 you guys i might say something in the moment that i can't edit something in later without it looking

00:04:30.000 weird it's it's a very weird medium in that way when you work on youtube is that what you record

00:04:36.000 at the time is what you've recorded and you can't change or edit or add something to what you've

00:04:41.200 already recorded because everything's gonna look different your hair your makeup the lighting like

00:04:46.400 where you're sitting what you're wearing all of that's gonna look different whereas an article

00:04:50.880 something you write i can edit it i can add things i can take things out that's all part of the process

00:04:55.680 it's all part of the natural process which when i'm talking about big ideas like motherhood and

00:05:01.760 homeschooling i want the opportunity to be able to be really clear and specific about what i mean

00:05:06.480 so what is the first generation stay-at-home mom and where can you find it so it's going to be on 0.99

00:05:09.840 instagram it's also going to be on substack but i'm going to keep it free for a while i want anybody

00:05:15.840 who's interested to be able to see what i'm writing what i'm talking about and i would love

00:05:19.840 for you to join my community over there so please head over to my substack the first generation stay 1.00

00:05:26.000 at home mom i'll have it linked in the description box below and it'll be on the screen here so that

00:05:30.320 you guys can go ahead and check it out because it's so exciting i'm like so i just cannot wait to share

00:05:38.480 all of the thoughts i've been having with you well the first generation stay-at-home mom is for all stay

00:05:42.400 at home moms but particularly for those who are the first in their families to take on the role of

00:05:47.040 mother homemaker and homeschooler as a full-time vocation i'm going to be writing about mother from

00:05:52.320 a philosophical perspective like how did we get here and why is it that being a stay-at-home mom

00:05:58.640 is so uncommon these days that kind of thing to practical tips like how to structure your day

00:06:04.880 and talking to other women that i know who do it and kind of getting bolstering advice from them

00:06:10.560 and some more kind of fun content like book reviews and modest outfits of the week and just

00:06:15.680 being able to share with you a little bit of my day-to-day as well as all of these things i think

00:06:20.160 that are so beneficial for us this community of stay-at-home moms this generation of stay-at-home 0.79

00:06:26.240 moms needs to have some guidance like we didn't have there's no such thing as a college degree in 1.00

00:06:32.080 homemaking home economics by the time we were in high school was gone like it didn't exist and so we

00:06:38.480 weren't equipped with all of the all of the ways that this is a completely sustainable and attainable

00:06:44.080 lifestyle i know so many women who wanted to be stay-at-home moms who wanted to be homeschoolers 1.00

00:06:49.200 and just didn't know how to do it and ended up kind of dumping out quitting and going to back to

00:06:54.880 work and putting their kids in school just because they didn't know how to do it and there are ways

00:06:59.520 there are ways to do it and i want to share my experience with you guys and i want to hear from

00:07:03.920 you too so i'm so excited please go ahead and follow me on substack it's completely free i just want

00:07:09.600 to build a community over there and please follow me on instagram i really think you guys are going

00:07:13.680 to love it i'm going to take a break from classically abby and focus my energies on something i think is

00:07:18.720 more important right now the culture is where the change begins and we as stay-at-home moms are the 1.00

00:07:25.920 beginning of that like if we invest our time and energy into our children if we make our children our

00:07:31.440 life instead of a part of our life then i think our society is going to improve exponentially over time

00:07:38.720 and that is something we can do as moms so even though classically abby is still incredibly 1.00

00:07:44.480 important all of my videos will still be available you can still find them for your daughters for your

00:07:49.120 friends who are dating or early in marriage i want to put my mission at the forefront and that is to

00:07:54.000 support and educate and share and learn about being a first generation stay-at-home mom alongside all

00:08:02.080 of you so thank you so much for watching today's video i can't wait to have you join me

00:08:07.760 and uh yeah i'll see you over there
