Hey guys! Here's a video I filmed a couple of days ago explaining. 

In summary, Patreon has the option to pause the monthly charge while keeping the page/campaign active. I'm going to be pausing for June and July. I'll be posting as much as I can, but it's been difficult to work with a baby in a pandemic because there's no one at this time that can help us babysit. With Omi working full time and in his final semester of getting his Master's Degree we are super duper limited. 

Vaccines are slowly being applied here in Monterrey. All teachers have been vaccinated actually, and Dante will be going to daycare 4 hours a day starting in July. I will use July to get sleep/life/house in order. I hope to get back to work in August. 

Thank you for being here for these 3 extra months of unintentional, unexpected extended maternity leave. I am thinking of you often. When I come back, I will find a way to make this up to you.

I'll post a video with a personal update early next week!

Love you and miss youuuu!

No worries Malu! Think of yourself and family first 🤗💙

Aaron Westover

Is there a way to continue voluntary contributions? Blessings and health to your family! 💛

Llynya

Take care, Malu - don‘t worry. Take the time you need. :)

Ernie Hannaford

Malu Malu Malu - no need to apologize. Taking care of family first is the most important thing. Your extended family of the Reverb Empire is fine :) Well I can speak for myself anyways, in the fact all that you have given over these past many years now has been more than enough. Of course we can never get too much Malu, but you need to watch out for you and your family first. I wish you the best in the next couple months. Best of luck to OMI on finishing masters degree too, that is awesome!!

Uwe Böhnke

Have a good time! By the way, "Omi" is in german a name for a grandmother. In your case it is probably your husband.

GregRauv

Don't worry or apologize. Take care of yourself and your family and we'll be here when you come back.

Hernani Delindro

I understand that this is something you're doing because it's putting pressure on you and causing you discomfort. On my part, it would have been fine to keep it up even without updates. I feel like all that you've given us already is worth many months of you not being able to post something because you're taking care of your family! But I understand. Don't worry, take your time, and I wish you and your family all the best! :)

Andi

All the best - take all the time you need. Family comes alwayy 1st! I don't see any reason to postpone my contribution, especially during a time you need a break. It there any way to keep the contribution running?

Sardai146

I imagine raising a child in normal times is really tough, so it's more than understandable that you have to take time off of Patreon. I think it's smart to pause the patreon for a while and take all the time you need for yourself and your family. Try not to feel guilty about the past months, I think I can speak for all of us that we don't mind and that we will support you even if things take a bit longer than usually. Good luck to Omi with finishing the master degree :D Big Hug <3

Robin Hüskes

I'd prefer to continue the support. Perhaps you can create a BabyPause-Tier :)

Molmod

Hi Malu. Your music and videos have meant such a lot to me over the years that I'd be more than happy to keep contributing without you feeling the need to produce regular content while things are so hectic for you. Hugs from Oxford to you and the family

Kristian Ask (St.Kizza)

No need for apologies Malu. And also absolutely no need for guilt :-) Family always comes first. Im just happy that you tell us this instead of just vanishing xD Take all the time you need and then some, and for all i care you don`t need to pause anything, but you do what you feel you need to inorder to feel as comfortable as you can :-) Hugs from Norway <3

Linda Rawenna Strandberg

Just focus on your lobely baby, we will still be here when you feel you have the time to return, Love you!

Daniel Blom Paulsen

Absolutely no need to apologize or feel guilt, Malu! 💚 I would personally have nothing against continuing the support throughout, but I also fully understand if it's uncomfortable for you to feel like you "owe" us anything. 💚 The most important thing is that you are doing what feels best for you. 💚

Letodan

No worries Malu! You know we're there for you, don't feel guilty. Like many others, I wish I could continue to contribute anyway. I just want to support and help. I completely understand the time that is needed with a baby and I know it can be quite stressful the first few months. Please take the time to relax and enjoy yourself. It's not a time to feel frustrated or anything. We already have enough stuff to enjoy from you, knowing that there will be more at some other time in the future. In the meantime, please, think family first. Just say hi once in a while so that we know how you guys are doing. Take care Malukah!! Enjoy it to the max and please stop feeling guilty, the Reverb Empire is behind you no matter what!! <3

BlackTecc

Take all the time you need and there's no need to apologize for anything 💙

Morgan Davies (Firefighter_21)

There is NEVER EVER a need to apologize. Family always comes first. We will be waiting for your return.

Richard Glidden

Please, take all the time you need to focus on Dante and your family. These moments are precious and they go by far too quickly to be worrying about us! We'll still be here when you're ready. I am also happy to keep contributing here even if you aren't creating music and posting regularly. I'm not here for some monthly reward. I'm here to support you. That includes supporting you while you take care of Dante.

Thomas Shey

You do what you need to to take care of you and your family, woman. :)

Nephilim1977

Hehe take your time. Also... He's been mighty interested in the mic. I see Babymetal 2.0 ;) Just kidding.

Carlos Ho Chun Lee

No worries! I don't mind keep sponsoring the campaign even you have no updates.

MartinS9157

Take care all of you. Your family is the most important thing and I'll look forward to when you can resume.

Sebastian

Hi Malu, Of course! Take the break. It's very impressive so far how you've managed it all. You and your family are in the forefront. You can keep running Patreon for all I care without posting updates, no Pause mode. Or maybe you can set that everyone can decide for themselves whether his contribution?

TheAlb

It is abosultely understandable. Take good care of yourself and your family first. Taking a break from Patreon is good for that and for taking pressure of you. I'll always support you. You are wonderful as a person and a musician. Everything you've done so far is credit to that. I hope you get some rest for yourself. We'll be here. Less than Three & big hugs!

June Marie (CosmoDings)

No worries, Malu! And don’t be sorry or apologize. You should always do what is right for you (and your family). Relax and enjoy the time with Dante 🥰. And good luck to Omi on completing the masters!

firjii

No problema 💜💜💜

Julie

Take care of sweet little Dante and enjoy your precious time with him. A Patron Baby Tier sounds great to me. I'd be all in. :) All my love your way!

Nico

Hi Malu. Of course you and your family are the most important. A wise decision. Take care of yourself and take your time. I prefer to keep contributing. I like to support you, not to get something in return. Besides there is still so much to enjoy of you and your beautiful voice on youtube. Have a very nice time in joy and love.

Johnny Svensson

Take the time you need. We'll be here when there's time. Take care of your family.

Thalandor46

As long as you guys will be ok with the hit to your income, then absolutely, do what you think is best! We have your back, and we'll be here when you return, whenever that may be :)

David DeKeizer

Concur with many of the above...I am perfectly okay supporting your extended maternity time. Take care of you and yours!

Thijs Bos

Hey Malu, I'm just here to say that you SHOULD NOT FEEL GUILTY. Go take that time with your son if that's what you need. Like you said, he grows up SO fast. Lovely to see him doing well, and I hope you'll also be well!

Mattonius

Let me know if you need a babysitter. I have it on good authority that I am the "cool uncle", mainly because I have no respect for bed times or whether ice cream counts as a nutritious dinner.

sakkra83

don't feel bad, family comes first, especially if you got a wee one....

Anina Shaorandra

I would feel completely fine to still support you during maternity leave! Your family comes first and Covid makes everything more difficult. But that doesn't mean that I would stop supporting you! Take care of yourself :) And Dante is adorable! * _ *

Tomas Almlöf

Hi Malu! Of course everyone will understand! Family comes first! :) But I'm sure everyone supports you no matter what! I hope you get some well earned rest too.

Andreas Veide

Find your inspiration elswhere. Don't even think about getting back until you feel the internal motivation. It will come, even if it takes 2-3 months (or more). Beeing creative can't be pushed, health and family first and al that. It's all true. It's 2021 and as the star you are you can do whatever you feel like. We will be here waiting forever. Just happy you could post the Reignite video. <3

Woufff

Hi Malu, don't worry, everyone understands. Love to you and your family <3
