Hey there, friends! Tyler and Amari here, and we’re beyond excited to share the story of why we decided to start our family YouTube channel. If you’ve been following along, you know we’re a fun-loving duo (with our amazing family) who’s all about spreading joy, sharing life’s adventures, and building a community that feels like home. But what sparked this wild idea to hit “record” and invite the world into our lives? Buckle up, because we’re diving deep into the heart of why we started this journey, the values that drive us, and the dreams we’re chasing through our little corner of the internet.
A Spark of Connection
It all began with a simple realization: we love connecting with people. Whether it’s swapping stories with neighbors, cracking jokes with friends, or cheering on our kids at their soccer games, we have always thrived on building relationships. But in a world that sometimes feels disconnected—where screens can pull us apart as much as they bring us together—we wanted to do something different. We wanted to create a space where people could come together, laugh, learn, and feel like they belong.
YouTube felt like the perfect platform for this. It’s a place where voices from all walks of life can shine, and we knew we had a story to tell. Our family isn’t perfect (far from it!), but it’s real, messy, and full of love. We thought, “Why not share our journey—our wins, our flops, and everything in between?” That spark of wanting to connect with others, to share our lives authentically, was the first push toward starting our channel.
Capturing Memories for Our Family
Another big reason we started our YouTube channel was to capture memories. Life moves fast—too fast sometimes. Our baby is growing up before our eyes, and moments that feel so vivid today can fade into a blur tomorrow. By filming our adventures, whether it’s a chaotic family road trip, a cozy game night, or even just the everyday silliness that fills our home, we’re creating a digital scrapbook of our lives.
These videos aren’t just for the world to see—they’re for us, too. One day, we’ll look back and laugh at the time Tyler tried (and failed) to master a TikTok dance or when Amari accidentally turned the kitchen into a flour-covered disaster zone while attempting to bake. These are the moments that make us us, and having them preserved on our channel feels like a gift we’re giving to our future selves and our children.
Inspiring and Uplifting Others
Let’s be real: life can be tough. Between juggling work, parenting, and everything else, it’s easy to feel overwhelmed. That’s why we wanted our YouTube channel to be a source of inspiration and positivity. We’re not here to pretend we have it all figured out—trust us, we don’t! But we do believe in finding joy in the little things, embracing imperfection, and keeping a sense of humor through it all.
Through our videos, we hope to uplift our viewers by sharing practical tips (like how to survive a family camping trip without losing your sanity), heartfelt stories (like the lessons we’ve learned as parents), and plenty of laughs (because who doesn’t need a good giggle?). We want our channel to be a place where people can come to feel encouraged, whether they’re parents navigating the chaos of raising kids or just someone looking for a dose of positivity in their day.
Teaching Our Kids About Creativity and Hard Work
Starting a YouTube channel will be a way to teach our kids some pretty cool life lessons. From brainstorming video ideas to setting up the camera to editing footage, this journey will shown them the power of creativity and hard work. They’ve learned that building something meaningful takes effort, patience, and a willingness to learn from mistakes (like the time we accidentally deleted an entire day’s worth of footage—oops!).
We are also getting a front-row seat to the importance of storytelling. By sharing our family’s experiences, we’re learning how to express ourselves, connect with others, and use our voices in a positive way.
Building a Community
One of the most unexpected and beautiful parts of starting our YouTube channel has been the community we’re building. When we first hit “publish” on our debut video, we had no idea how many incredible people we’d meet along the way. From the comments section to social media, we’ve connected with viewers who share our values, laugh at our jokes, and cheer us on as we navigate this crazy adventure.
This community isn’t just about us—it’s about you. We love hearing your stories, answering your questions, and incorporating your ideas into our content. Whether it’s a viewer suggesting a family challenge or sharing how one of our videos brightened their day, these interactions remind us why we started this in the first place. Our channel is a two-way street, and we’re so grateful for every single person who’s joined us on this ride.
Chasing a Dream Together
Starting a YouTube channel has also been about chasing a dream as a couple and as a family. We have always been a team, tackling life’s ups and downs together. But launching this channel has given us a new way to collaborate, dream big, and grow as partners. From late-night planning sessions to celebrating our first 100 subscribers, every step of this journey has brought us closer together.
It’s not always easy—trust me, balancing filming with parenting and work is a juggling act! But it’s worth it. This channel is a reflection of who we are as a family: adventurous, goofy, and full of heart. It’s a dream we’re building together, and every view, like, and comment feels like a step toward something bigger.
Staying True to Ourselves
In a world full of polished influencers and picture-perfect feeds, we wanted our channel to be a breath of fresh air. We’re not here to pretend we’re something we’re not. You won’t find us staging flawless family photos or editing out the chaos of our daily lives. What you will find is authenticity—real moments, real laughter, and real love.
We started this channel to stay true to ourselves and to show the world that it’s okay to be imperfect. Life is messy, and that’s what makes it beautiful. By sharing our unfiltered selves, we hope to inspire others to embrace their own unique stories, quirks, and all.
What’s Next for Tyler and Amari?
As we look ahead, we’re bursting with ideas for where we want to take our YouTube channel. More family adventures, more hilarious challenges, more heart-to-heart talks—we’ve got big plans! But at the core of it all, we’ll keep doing what we love: connecting with you, capturing memories, and spreading joy.
We’re also excited to keep learning and growing as creators. Whether it’s experimenting with new video formats, collaborating with other YouTubers, or diving into topics that matter to our community, we’re ready to take this journey to the next level. And we want you along for the ride!
A Big Thank You
Before we wrap this up, we want to say a huge thank you to everyone who’s supported us so far. Whether you’re a longtime subscriber or you just stumbled across our channel, you’re part of this journey, and we’re so grateful for you. Starting a YouTube channel has been one of the most rewarding (and sometimes nerve-wracking!) things we’ve ever done, and we couldn’t do it without you.
So here’s to more laughter, more stories, and more moments that make life special. We can’t wait to see where this adventure takes us—and we hope you’ll stick around for it all.
With love,
Tyler, Amari, and the whole fam
