I love her and her precious chubby cheeks...she looks like my sister...whom I adore...and she is the only person that made me an "auntie"!
I have loved babies since I was a baby...I grew up playing dolls...babysitting in the nursery at church, babysitting lil' tiny babies all day long, during the summer...
I am always the favored hire for make-up artists, when a shoot with kids is involved...I was the hit with all the kids on a Smurf commercial...lucky me, I got to play this game where they hit you with their hands when you don't get "something" right! ha ha ha
I am a born nurturer...I love to care, console, comfort, cheer up, help, love, feed, play, and make people smile and feel loved and cared for. And all I dreamed about was being a mama...I had my other dreams, but all I cared about when I was young, was that the world would end and I wouldn't get to have babies to take care of and love! Ask any of my friends, well, I really only have a handful of friends...but they will tell you, I am the super-researcher, that finds the world's safest carseat...the best babysling, the
Unfortunately, the only babies I'll get to show you, are my niece. My ex-husband, has requested that I not post any pictures of my kids online. So if anyone was wondering about my other blog, that is why I haven't posted anything on there. I enjoyed posting a little slice of my life, to share and encourage other mamas...but I am no longer allowed to do so.
Thank you soooooooooo much! I love you all....and your love has amazed me, and truly been the wings from heaven that have helped keep me going. God has used each of you to touch my heart and I thank you more than I can even put into words!
I read all the comments you leave on here, and you have no idea that power of love that has charged up my heart with your precious words. Sometimes I have just sat and cried reading your stories, or just saoking up the love in all the words you write! I love each of my precious "kandee family", each one of you...I really do....
This blog isn't just someone who randomly posts things that are funny or amusing....I feel a calling in my heart, that I want to inspire each of you, I want to encourage YOUR hearts. Ofcourse I want to give you the silly blogs, too, that I hope are amusing, but most importantly, I want this to be a place where you know your heart is safe, where you know you'll be encouraged, or you'll be washed over in positivity. I want this blog to be like the happiest family, where you know you are loved, your heart will feel better and recharged, and most of all, where you are celebrated and believed in!
more love than I can say, a bigger hug than I can send, and a smile that would light up the night sky, your friend and fellow "kandee family member"....typed with love and so much thankfulness, Kandee

I LOVE YOU!!! Everything will work out, God is in this!
Kandee,that's so great about all that money stuff! I kept my fingers crossed for that.
And about the photos of your children - we, as your lil' family loved to watched them, but maybe your ex is right - there are so many evil people online who can use them for not very good things. I hope everything is going to be alright. It has to, cause it always does!
Babies really are so sweet. Hope everything turns out well for you...
Kudos for you Kandee for putting the truth out there and trusting your fans to understand and be compassionate towards your situation. Only you and your son know the truth and it is not anyone else's place to judge. right or wrong, the judge made the decision and it's over and I hope that those who gossip and hate monger on the other blogs can get over it and move on as well.
Ive been reading about your situation from the beginning and have decided to stay neutral as it is not my place to judge and I just think it's very brave for you to admit all this on your website, especially in light of the fact that the people who say bad things about you have accused you of hiding this matter from your fans.
I hope that you and your children move on and do well, God bless you in your endeavors. I also hope those who are so quick to throw stones when they live in glass houses move on and that God blesses them too.
Keep inspiring people Kandee, you're doing more good than you even know.

hey kandee.. i've never left a comment or anything before, but i just wanted to say keep your head up through everything, no matter what you did or didn't do, you're still human. and people who disrespect you or your situation just doesn't have a life of their own that they can be happy about. no one is perfect and everyone is on this hard road called life. i love logging into to face book and seeing a new quote or something you have posted and it adds a little sunshine to my day :] so keep on going and doing you! thats all you can do, haha.
huge hug for you kandee. just have faith that everything will be allright and it will. you have really inspired me and lifted my spirit. thank you so much! the love you give returns to you so this is what your heart does and God loves you so much... there are true miracles where people alike are meeting and inspire one another and this is not by chance, hearts hear and meet.... lots of kisses Kandee. you're in my prayers.
We really love you too Kandee!! Hope you and your family is going to have a FANTASTIC year.. I wish you all the best, YOU are AMAZING and really ONE OF A KIND! Always remember that! Loving thoughts from me:)
Hello, Kandee, I hope that everything will be ok for you, that you won't have to go to so many troubles and that everyone can see you're an amazing mom and such a great person! I hope your kids are doing great too and thanks so much for taking time out of your busy days to write here!
Have a super fun a stress - less day :)

Kandee, sweetie, God Bless You!
You are such a wonderful person inside out, I can only imagine how hard it is for you to deal with all that.. but we are with you and we love you very-very much. You can go through all this and we believe in you. Stay strong, positive and keep smiiiiiling =))))))
We are all here for you, never forget,
Anastasia
Hi Kandee,
You wrote that you hope you can help us feel "recharged", and I just wanted to let you know that is exactly what I feel when I get to read your blog! I look forward to reading it and I think "I hope Kandee's posted something today... I wonder what she's up to?" I always feel uplifted from reading your posts. I know it's hard when people say untrue or hurtful things about you but know that there are so many of us who you inspire every day to be a little bit happier. I wish that you could have continued with your "Adventures in Kandeeland" blog as it's nice to share that side of you, but either way you clearly love and adore your babies and no one can take that away. Have a beautiful day!
hi kandee
oh im so sad about this... i dont even know that HE was the reason why u cancelled the blog!!! oh no, i hope u and ure sweet lil people are well and healthy and that they can spend lots of time with their sweet and caring mother.
your such a strong and adorable person... stay like that, i got ure back.
switzerland loves u =)
*muahhh*

Oh Kandee, I'm so sorry to hear about the pains of divorce that you're going through.. I've been there, and KNOW it's NO fun! My heart goes out to you, and my prayers go up for you and your kids! Your niece is adorable! My mother's theory was that if a kid wasn't chubby, with the big cheeks, roly-poly legs, and dimply hands and feet, then they weren't healthy! So those chubby cheeks are a good thing, God bless her!... Just watched your videos for the house tour, and the contents of your purse! I have a few friends, but none that I get to see or talk to everyday, like most girlfriends get to; so it always does my heart good to stop here whenever I can! You are like "one of the girls", whom I can go to, knock at the back door, wearing sweats, ankle socks, and a ponytail, plop myself at a table with you, with either a cup of coffee or a cold beer, to just ramble on about anything and everything! (Of course, then there are times when we dress to the nines, for lunch and some shopping! Ha! Ha!.. if only we could!) My spirit is lifted, my attitude's adjusted, and a younger me is freed again, if even just for a little while till duties and responsibilities call me back to the real world again! Thanks for being a friend, and know you have a friend here who wishes you all the best! ~tina
Kandee, I think you are such a powerful extraordinary woman. I feel watching your videos and reading your blogs that finally there is a great strong powerful woman to look up to and believe in. We are all praying for you to get through this hard time and I think youre wonderful and dont ever forget that! I know im gushing:) but this is my first time leaving a comment so i had to get it all in there!
You've insipired us so much!
I hope everyting will get better
:)
Kandee you are the most kind hearted person I've ever meet! Kee your head up this will all blow over soon!
With much much love
Rachel
Hi Kandee! Keep your head up! You are a great inspiration to me! I appreciate all the time you take out of your day to share things with us! <3
awww kandee. im so glad i finally read your situation with the donations and the ex stress. I was beginning to wonder about this. I kno about your ex requesting not to post any pics of your children on the net is hard... cause my ex had once requested that of me..
and i felt lik i was hidding a part of me that existed.. that on fb, there i was but he wasnt a part of my life..
keep strong and its really nice to finally see whats been up cause some of your fans were wondering (me as well).
heart and love sis, life has its tests..
that is trruly a miracle god definatly wants you to keep on influencing people through your blog and videos! have a awesome day
-Laurel
Kandee..you just have the most beautiful heart. so happy the charges have been dropped. I look to you everytime things in my life get tough. I love your constant positivity. XOXO
Hi Kandee :) indeed God is so Kind and He loved us so much that He uses a lot of people as an instrument to help us.We have to always be grateful of the blessings that comes our way.there are struggles and even a lot of obstacles, we can overcome them all because there is One that is there to help and guide us through this journey of our lives.God knows we are strong because our strengths comes from Him.May you be blessed with a lot more blessings and stay happy and strong, because God is always with us, with YOU.Have a happy weekend! love yah =D
I cried reading this blog Kandee. You are such a precious person and I wish things were easier for you. I'm glad we could all help out with atty fees. I work for one so I know how the fees start to add up. Luckily our office is very assertive with people who can't pay them as well as others. I know how hard it can be but I know you will make it! Such things in life are bumps in the road, sometimes more than just bumps but not matter what happens, you have your children, your friends, your family, your adoring followers and most importantly God. Would you mind posting that paypal link again? :) I've got something with your name on it buring a whole in my pocket and I'd like to send it to your account. :) I just moved out on my own again (had to temporarily live w/my parents b/c I left my ex-fiance and moved home from L.A.) so I don't have much money but I want to help out again Kandee! It's a sun-shining day up here in N.Idaho and hopefully it is where you are! Take the sun and let it warm your heart and smile! *Hugs*
~Cassidy Z.
You are very kind Kandee that write so warm and lovefull words here.
I've watched almost all your videos and read blog a lot (going backward because I've started just a couple of monthes ago) and I have to say I would like to have a small part of your... JOYfull and courageous manner of living, working, bolgging, dancing... I've beed so shy, constrained and stiff all my live of 25 years so can't do anything but working hard at office, do my job good, wearing glasses and many people say I have stern look - I don't know why. And I never will be able to change my, it's impossible seems to me. The same as you will keep silence, sit still without laughing so much...
Best for you and your kids!
Oh! forget! I'm affraid of having children and you have three! And you gave birth to Jordan at.. 16?:)
Once agane good luch and continue to inspire us!
Maria from Moscow, Russia
your ex husband sounds like a real jerk :(
i'm sorry kandee, reading this makes me so sad, but it also amazes me how much strength you really have. things keep getting thrown at you but you still stand tall. :} hopefully all this bad will eventually get washed away and you can just live your like peacefully and anyway you'd like. I wish for that, for you :) <3
Awww....she's so beautiful and is lucky to have the most amazing Auntie in the world! I am going to miss your other blog Kandee. I am still praying that everything works out for you. You are a true inspiration to us all. I am glad you keep posting and doing videos and keep your head held high. You are an amazing mommy and a beautiful person inside and out. Your kandee family sees this and knows this and we all have your back!
Love you, Kandee!
Kandee.....just love you and what you are all about so much! I hope one day...sooner than later....you will have one of your glaminars here in Portland, Oregon!!!! You are so inspiring......I hope all in your world settles down soon.....we are with you in spirit!!!!
Kandee, My heart and prayers go out to you during this challenging time. You are such a strong & beautiful person and have put a little extra something into my day w your posts, videos, tweets, and positive energy. I adore you for all these things!! Much love, XOZO
You're amazing human-being :)
I iwsh i could say so much, but i feel that you hear alot of good loving words :)
God bless you :)

i love you :)
Hi sweetie, I wrote you a couple of weeks ago to ask you about your blog "Adventures in Kandeeland" cause I could't read it (it was very special for me) and I imagined something had happened. And now you confirm it. Don't worry baby I think now you need to protect yourself and your kids as much as you can and this is a way of doing it (even if lots of us are going to really miss your blog). Look at the possitive part.
Keep on fighting baby, never give up. NEVER. Love from Spain.
Anytime I'm feeling down or just need an extra boost of encouragement, I read your blog! Your words just make me feel so much better about myself, they make me feel like I can do absolutely anything, and to just follow my heart. I read everyday just to start my day off with positive, helpful, and cheerful words. Keep inspiring Kandee... you've made such an impact on my life as well as thousands of others! And if that isn't success, I'm not sure what is... thank you for all your loving words. Take care and keep smiling :)
Your niece is gorgeous!
That is so true.. people like to twist whatever written in one's blog.. Had that experience before.. Blogging is a way for me to vent out in writting.. so that I won't go bonkers.. but I too have to be careful and being vague on somethings.. just for my own precautionary..
Anyway, I wish you the best and hope everythings worksout well.. *hugs*
I love reading your blog and also watching your videos.. They are awesome and you're beautiful as always.. ;)
Stay positive, stay true, and keep being you, and everything will work out Kandee. :) Much love! xo
Kandee, I've said it a million times to you and so many other people, you are the most amazing person I have never met <3
Your strength is so inspirational to me and you give me the strength to keep going each day. I look forward to reading your blog each day and watching your videos as they come along.
I love you so much for being such a beautiful person, inside and out, and I hope you know that everything happens for a reason and this will all turn out to be alright in the end.
Much love for you always, Michelle <3
What a blessing that the Lord has moved in this situation to meet your needs.
Can your ex legally do that? Make you stop posting photos of your children? If you have joint legal custody, you should have a right to. Men can be jerks. My ex-husband deliberately does not pay child support. He does not visit or call our daughter. he claims to not have money to pay... but yet has just booked a cruise to the Bahamas for him ans his girlfriend. Not to mention has just bought a gun (that's a scary thought, for someone who was arrested for Domestic Violence when we were married). I'm trying not to think about. I don't know what I can do to get the back child support... and my funds are running low. With so many hours spent at school, there's no time to work and I can't afford additional child care. =/ It makes me so angry that he can be so heartless. I'm am praying for a door to open to get him out of our lives. He is not good for my daughter anyway. I would fear for her safety.
Sorry, just venting. I need something to take my mind of this.
your amazing visit my blog http://caricollazo/blogsot.com
Awe sweet heart, I am so happy the charges have been dropped! I have thought about you everyday, and I have never worried about a stranger this much before. I feel like I know you and we are friends. I wish the best for you, everything will work out great! I know it. Thank you for the update. I feel so relieved about the court stuff. Love you! Thanks for the videos!
Kandee Im sure you saw my question on facebook about the whole lifes not free thing and I wanted to thank you for showing your gratitude on your blog, it was really all I wanted was to know for sure you really needed it and you wernt just trying to catch a free ride. Im sorry that may sound bad but really we dont know each other and you never can tell... so thank you for this post. Please update us again to let us know how it all turns out, I would send you more but unfortunately I am broke as well.
ps Im eagerly awaiting the YT video your about to put up thank you!
-- eve
My goodness Kandee, i had no idea you were going through so much trouble, and now that i do i am even more inspired by your amazing positivity and ability to shine! So many people wouldn't be able to put on a brave face and sparkle the way you do. You truly are an inspiration and I honestly hope that you get everything that you deserve. I pray that God will continue to give you all the strength and hope you need to keep fighting and show everybody what you're made of! You really are my inspiration x
Hi Kandee! I remember you mentioned that you had made a Twiggy look video but I can't seem to find it. Can you post it please? Thanks!!!
You are one of the most amazing people I have ever known. Just know that we all love you with all our hearts and we all stand by you through good times and bad. You are safe with us as well and so is your heart.
Love Libby xox
so many thoughts of you and all that you must go through.....tell your ex that all the money you have to spend whenever he drags it through the courts, is money that can't be spent on the children! Had a friend whose ex dragged her into court because she had the little girls hair cut! Stay strong. Unfortunately when there are children involved, the divorce goes on forever.
Kandee you have so much strength and I admire your honesty.
Hey Kandee! I just wanted to let you know that you are always in my prayers!
You're blogs and videos always brighten my day because you are such a sweet, optimistic person who always has such great advice to give!
And if I could have afforded to, I would have donated a whole bunch of money to help you out. But since I'm not able to do that at the moment, I promise to always keep you in my prayers!
Love you!
Your friend,
Sierra Nickole
Hello Kandee, Im sorry you are having some challanging times. I feel like we are freinds, as I am a similiar person as you. I also feel that it is no mistake that those who have connected with you have. As I too several years back was in a terrible court case with my son that was so difficult and I just could not believe it was happening and the ONLY thing that got me through the many years of heartache was my faith, friends and family. I thank God for his perfect timing for you to have this out pouring of support and love right now. You are strong and you will get through this. I had so many that helped me along my way when I had my sad and hard times with my case. You are a very good kind loving person Kandee. What I can tell you for sure with my experience is that the truth does always prevail, it may take some time, but trust in that. Be who you are and people will see the genuineness of you. No one can say any different, you know you and the truth. Dont be afraid, it can be scary in the courts and the system, but have peace in your heart that all will unfold as it is meant to be and God will provide for you and your future. Can I tell you that the big pink heart quote box I have was actually started when I was in my court case, it was started becasue I too recieved many loving notes from freinds, family, co workers that were SOOOOO encouraging and helpful to me in ways they do not even know that I had to keep them always. And now look, I have shared several of them with you. I found one today for you after I read your words today. I know you believe with all your heart that this was meant for you today:
"Lean not on your own understanding, but acknowledge God in all His ways and He shall direct your path"
Kandee, I know God has great things in store for you, a purpose, do not fear you are getting off track, He is setting your course and will guide you, listen to your heart. I will be holding you up in prayer - no matter how difficult things are in our lives, it will pass and you can move on with grace, renewed in faith and strengthen in character, assured that God has used the difficulty to do His work within us and bring comfort to others through us Remember He is here for you no one can be against you if He is with you
Much Much love, Big Big hugs and more hugs.
FaithHopeLove
Kandee, you are one of the strongest people I know and God has something amazingly wonderful waiting for you when all this is over.
I read your blog everyday because it gives me such hope and inspiration and I know it will make me smile :)
I love you and thank you for being so wonderful!
Love, Bronte <3

you are an inspiration to us all, your honesty is amazing. You deserve all the happiness in the world and I'm sure you will get everything you deserve one day. When I clicked on your blog I expected make up tutorials and reviews but I read about a stong and confident woman who is a lovley friend and most importantly a brilliant mother. We as your subscribers had no right to ask about your personal life and I have all the respect in the world for you for just letting it all out. You are a beautiful and talented person and I wish there was a lot more Kandee's in the world (:
Keep staying strong ^_^ xxx
Thanks for sharing that about your other blog...I'm a blogging mom and always wanted more on that site! Now I get it!!!
So does this mean everything is over with the courts?
I know how hard it is being a single mom. I am an adoptive mom so I chose this life. Which makes it easier, since I have just what I want..I know this isn't how you planned your family life so it must be harder for you.
Thank you for washing your positive love over the blogger world!! Sometimes we moms need it!!
Kandee, I'm so happy to hear that everything worked out. I couldn't believe when I started reading what was going on a couple months ago. You seem like such a beautiful person (your inner beauty, your spirit just shines through in your videos) and it made me so sad that this was happening to you. But you also seem very strong and this has made you even stronger, I'm sure.
I sincerely wish you the same joy that you bring to all of us.
KANDEE,
GOD MADE U W/ A HUGE HEART...I WANT 2 HAVE KIDS & BE A SUPER MAMA...I'M 25, n sometimes I'm afraid I won't find the love of my life & have a family. I think like when u thought that the world was going to end n u wouldn't have kids 2 love.lol.
You are incredible, Kandee. You are a truly beautiful person, inside and out. Don't ever forget and don't let anyone tell you otherwise! :)
never loose hope God is there to help us love u :)
i just want to tell you that you have been an inspiration to me. With all your positivity and love. I went through some tough times recently and whenever i feel down or something, i think of you and how positive you are, you never lose hope. So please keep that up... And i just want to share with you that recently things are looking up for me as well and i can say that you and your words of love and kindness was in part an instrument to that. so thank you. Also know that you are loved by those that get the "vibe" you are trying to put out to the world. I live in the philippines and i totally feel you girl! I invite you to check my blog, to see just exactly what i am talking about. :D have a wonderful life!
We love and support you. There are much prayers and love coming your way. Don't let this steal your joy. Like you say you are more beautiful and loved than you know.
There's no need to thank us. Your inspiring videos and blog are priceless so it's the least we can do.
Please remember that no matter how hard life gets, we are here for you.
Take care xx

We all love seeing your children and hearing more about them, and I do read your other blog as well! It shows another awesome side of you. But maybe your ex-husband is right about requesting your children's pics off your blogs. It is probably a lot safer for them if that is done. Just for safety. You never know, there are just too many "evil thinkers" out there!
More power to you :)
Thank you Kandee.
You made me a different person, I'm very very thankful for finding you...
Life is different now...
Now I get it about Adventures in Kandeeland... its kinda sad I cant see pictures of your kids... but I think I'll handle it with this blog hahaha. I'm sure they are fine with the world's best mom!!
There are so much things you have been trough...
Everything that doesn't destroy you only will make you stronger... and if anything seems like i-cant-handle-this... know that you have all my support and love... really... if you need anything or everything you just ask.
Everything will be ok.
You keep showing them you are strong!!
KEEP STRONG AND SHINY DIAMOND!
I love you more than you can
imagine!
Say your kids I said hi :)
Angel Ramirez
Good luck to you, you really are a ray of sunshine! I didnt know you had another blog but I will look for it. And you really are inspiring. Reading your positive words are so helpful and are felt in my heart, and I'm sure in many others'! We all go through difficult things, and unfortunately there aren't very many positive people left out there. Praying for you,
-anna
Good luck Kandee and i'm glad to hear that things are getting better. Your blog is one of my favourites, you are so inspiring. I would like to be a make up artist too, but i'm getting too old and there's no schools for me ( or all too expencive where could enter). I wish all best for you and the kids!
-sini
Aww she is adorable!! I would love to send her some onesies from my rockin kids line!! www.mybaddbaby.com
If you get a chance look at them and send me an email and I will send you them!! Thanks for being our "virtual sunshine"!!!!
MUAH!!
I'm not a stranger to custody garbage, attorneys and the garbage that goes along with this. My thoughts and my prayers are with you as someone who understands it all. <3
Kandee, this too shall pass... you have to remain steadfast in your faith, in your mind that GOOD ALWAYS DEFEATS EVIL:-) and when your true to your heart and your intentions are always out of goodness and love, you too will prevail! God Bless you and your family! xoxoxoxoxo
It's like I've been in a shower, where instead of water, smile, warmth and your love, Kandee is pouring onto me, after reading this blog.. even makes me want to cry.. it's thaaat undescribable..
Yours Giedre (gianthug)
"I feel a calling in my heart, that I want to inspire each of you, I want to encourage YOUR hearts."
-You did exactly that. My daddy died this November & I had my first baby girl a month later in December. I'm only 17. Most times I feel like my life is spiraling out of control. I know that if I go to your page & watch your videos, I'll leave the computer in a better mood. You make me smile on the darkest of days. You inspire me to want to do wonderful things for other people, and to create beautiful artwork and to go to Church more often and to be a better person. You truly are amazing Kandee. You are a gift from God. :)
