0:21
mundane and has the light startled hi friends welcome today
0:28
I'm going to be taking you guys along for a day in the life i have some things to get done today and so I figured I'll
0:34
take you guys with me i have to make a store run first we've got a home school today um I got some groceries ordered a
0:41
few packages coming in figured let's just go ahead and spend some time together it's been a little bit of time
0:47
since I've done a day in a life and figured we could just catch up and spend some time together so if you're new here my name is Heaven and I'm a motherhead
0:54
and homemaking vlogger and here you can find motherhood motivation home bless
1:00
you cleaning videos home organization shopping hauls grocery hauls days in the
1:05
life just like today's video some homeschool content of course I would love for you to join the family by hitting the subscription button but for
1:12
today let's go ahead and just get into some stuff say hello baby girl is 8
1:19
months yeah you're getting so big so before we head out to the store we're just going to go ahead and get started
1:25
with a little bit of school so I'm basically going to just get him started off before we go we have a new desk for
1:33
Noah now i still have the small one in my garage because I know I've been talking about decluttering but just
1:39
seeing it sitting out there on the street I was like "Bring it back in the house i can't let it go." It's like our
1:44
first home school desk so it's in the garage it's just not being used but this is his new desk it's a lot more taller
1:51
for him and we got this one from Target so taller chair it also has like a
1:57
little slot here for his books he's got like a little drawer he keeps like his pencils in here so I let Noah go ahead
2:03
and get started with his math and then after we finished up the math work I let him take a break and he's going to eat
2:09
some lunch so that is what he's doing right now i left baby girl inside with her dad as well she was going to come
2:15
with me but he just decided to keep her so I'm going to go to the store and run
2:20
my errand really quickly get back here by the end Noah should be done eating his lunch and then we will do some
2:27
language arts so so far we've only done math today so next we'll dive into language arts do some reading and then
2:33
that should be it for home school today so let's go to the store and get done
2:40
what I have to get done when I get back i think I got some packages to sort through and then I got some groceries
2:46
that's on the way but they'll be here a little bit later between like 3 and 5 so I actually didn't come in here for any
2:51
Easter stuff but I figured I'll just show you guys like some of the stuff that they do have and maybe I'll grab like a few more things just to make
2:58
their baskets a little bit more themed honestly it's still like a little bit late like I've already seen people
3:03
grabbing a lot of the stuff but they got plenty of little basket stuffers in here
3:11
i normally always go with these chalks but I literally just cleaned some up out
3:16
the yard and they got some hanging decor
3:22
over here like all the wall decor some baskets yard stakes over there all of
3:29
the grass and basket fillers here all of these are like the empty eggs that you can put like candy and stuff inside and
3:36
they of course have like the carrots and stuff too i don't really do grass anymore but this is definitely better
3:42
than like the shiny grass and these are like the egg coloring cups so it just comes with the dye the dipper and the
3:49
cups and they got some down here
3:59
too we'll get like this and then buy like a pack of stickers separately these
4:05
are cute but I know that it'll be like for me eventually like clutter like
4:12
after Easter i don't know they're cute to put in a basket
4:17
definitely while I was here I actually decided to go ahead and try and find like some themed Easter basket stuffers
4:25
for the kids i already had majority of pretty much what I wanted to have in their baskets like Staples but because
4:32
they do have Disney themed baskets Mickey and Minnie Mouse I decided to just go ahead and look to see if I could
4:37
find any Mickey or Minnie or Disney themed basket stuffers just to like tie
4:43
it all together i'm not looking for anything that I plan on like keeping
4:48
like I don't know maybe longterm i'm just looking for some inexpensive maybe fun things like I said to kind of just
4:54
tie into just the theme of their basket so I did see a lot of things they
4:59
definitely didn't disappoint in terms of all of the Disney things that they had so if you are looking for a Disney
5:06
themed Easter basket for your kid maybe consider trying out just some of the options that they do have at your local
5:13
Dollar Tree although I always see a ton of Disney themed Easter things i see some at Target Five Below Kohl's Amazon
5:20
they're pretty much everywhere but yeah so I was just trying to see what I can find i ended up finding just a couple of
5:26
things just to add to their basket and so you guys are going to see that inside of the Easter basket haul that I am
5:33
going to be sharing before I even post this video so you guys will get the full reveal before you see this video here i
5:40
like to have little things like this so that when we travel to Disney World then I have a few things to just throw inside
5:46
of their backpack to keep them busy on the airplane or even when we are in the resort room and I'm not trying to go too
5:52
crazy this year with their Easter baskets because I've been doing a lot of decluttering so I don't want to just get
5:58
like a bunch of like just unnecessary cheap things but I just wanted to just get a
6:04
couple of things while I was there I also checked out the book section because I do love having like a few
6:10
extra books and activities to keep them busy throughout the summertime when we're taking like maybe a one month
6:15
break from homechool which I think we are going to do this year and book are just always good to have anyway then I
6:20
also found like a very interesting like test prep book in this section as well
6:25
so any type of like learning activities workbooks um things like that are the type of
6:31
things that I typically like to look for i used to look for like fidget objects but I don't really go too much for like
6:38
the fidget objects anymore because I'm really trying to teach my son now that
6:43
you know he's a little bit older how to just focus and not always have to have his brain stimulated but to kind of just
6:50
sometimes enjoy like quiet time and become creative in those moments of boredness they also had like a few
6:57
beauty things that I you know have no need for but if you do have a little
7:02
girl they had like Disney nail stickers they had like bubbles um lip gloss and
7:07
just fun things like that we have successfully finished up homeschool i got what I needed from the store for the
7:13
most part um they had a lot of like different like Easter basket stuffers
7:18
lots of good stuff so now is definitely the good like a good time to go this little girl needs a nap girl is not
7:26
sleeping she is as you can hear she's not asleep um and I don't think she's
7:32
going to be sleep for maybe another 30 minutes so I'm going to show you guys what I got from the store that way maybe
7:38
she'll nap when it's time for me to put the groceries away so this is some of the stuff I picked up now what I
7:44
actually went for is downstairs i'll take you guys down there but I grabbed a few more Easter basket stuffers for the
7:50
kids i got majority of what I wanted them to have already but I got like a few more like little just little things
7:56
like themed things so here's just some extra stuff I got so I got this little
8:01
thing that I don't know for sure that I'm going to give to her just yet but we'll see just like a little squishy my
8:08
fear is just that she'll chew on it and which then she's not going to be able to have it so maybe got Noah some bubbles
8:13
for the summer these I actually needed to get for me and Noah we are going to
8:18
put up our garden tray in the homeschool room in front of the window so we can start our seedlings for the spring and
8:25
summer garden i grabbed some of these little things for Naas just little bath rubber duckies we got Princess Belle and
8:32
Cinderella so I was looking for some like Disney themed stuff for their Disney themed baskets they have like basic stuff already um that's like not
8:40
very themed and so I was like "Okay let's just add like a few fun little themed pieces to it." So I got her some of those little bath
8:48
duckies these are Disney erasers for Noah a three-pack that he can put at the end of his
8:53
pencils um these are the egg coloring cups with
8:59
the colors and we'll just pick out some different stickers that we want to put on them as well got him some sidewalk
9:06
chalk for summertime so he can like draw out on the patio also got of this little
9:13
like a fidget like it's basically like you squeeze it you stretch it maybe on like airplanes in the car i don't know
9:19
just something just to just add into the theme basically and then he's been into Toy Story lately so I got him this giant
9:27
Toy Story 4 coloring activity book where he can color he can do different type of
9:34
learning activities as well this one says numbers and counting for ages three and up so my hope is that he can do this
9:41
all by himself like something to keep him busy maybe like during the summer time it's just very basic easy stuff
9:49
numbers which is good because he's been working on spelling his number words so
9:55
this way he'll get a little more practice with spelling them he's been doing pretty well with it but this one
10:01
goes beyond um like this one goes all the way up to 20 so we'll have that to work on and I
10:10
thought this one would be cute for both Noah and Naa it's the Mickey's Farm singalong book and it just has like
10:17
different cute little songs in there some of these like this one Noah used to sing this when he was a baby like 2
10:22
years old one of his favorites so maybe he'll be able to read it and sing it with Naa and they'll share this fun
10:29
little book as well i got these for Na some little nightlights this is Encanto
10:34
and then this is a princess one and then this little sun catchers that he can paint and maybe hang them up on the
10:42
window in the homeschool room now I picked up this because I thought it was interesting so this is supposed to be
10:48
standardized test preparation um this was for kindergarten and they have the
10:53
different levels so they got kindergarten first second third and so I'm very curious because we you know
11:00
don't follow like standard schooling procedures cuz we don't do standardized testing and things like that but I'm
11:06
very interested in seeing like what's in here and see how he does with it so it
11:12
does have like where he reads and then he circles the letters and things like that so it does give him practice with
11:18
testing as far as that goes this is not something that I think is like a
11:23
necessity but I'm just I don't know i guess I'm just kind of curious to see what's in here we'll see if this is
11:30
something that we like or [Music]
11:39
[Music]
11:45
not yesterday there was sun and there was
11:50
rain beauty in the mundane and as the
11:58
light startled our eyes we let go of
12:03
[Music] disguise and
12:09
now there's something in the air and a sparkly shimmer on our
12:18
skin restoring everything within [Music]
12:27
oh dreamy breezy we
12:33
go easy easy on our
12:38
tiptoes undercover agents of the
12:44
other beyond gravel beyond [Music]
12:55
no hand in hand building castles out of
13:01
sand reaching for the
13:06
grand swine we lose track of time and up high
13:12
now we [Music] climb
13:19
oh dreamy breezy we
13:25
go easy easy on our
13:30
tiptoes underco agents of the
13:36
other beyond gravel beyond
13:42
no a bigger scale the world
13:47
inhales as we
13:52
go i wouldn't want it any other way
14:01
no dreamy breezy we go
14:07
easy easy on our tiptoes
14:14
underco agents of the other beyond gravel beyond
14:22
so part of the groceries have been delivered thus far i did a Walmart order and I also did a Costco order na is not
14:29
sleeping they're just they're just you know doing I don't know what but I am
14:36
going to go and get the groceries off the porch line them across the countertop and then I'm going to do a
14:43
grocery haul so that I can get that shared up for you guys as well so let's
14:48
go downstairs and just get the groceries off the porch so that I can record a grocery haul all right so we have this
14:53
jumbo play pin in the middle of our family room now and so this is where has
15:00
been just practicing her crawling she's also been pulling up on that bar there
15:07
she also sometimes like stands up along the like walls and goes back and forth
15:13
practicing her steps and standing up and things like that we need to get one more
15:18
like mat just to put on this and here maybe we'll get one and cut it down the
15:25
middle and put it over here so that way she'll have this part covered too but
15:30
this is where she's going to be at for quite some time when she starts walking
15:36
until she gets like even better at it because we just have hard floor in here so eventually once she starts walking
15:42
we're going to just baby proof this area like we have to put a gate or fence around the fireplace area get some of
15:49
these corners with bumpers on them this table over here is probably going to go up against the wall like off to the side
15:55
of the sofa and the side of the fireplace is where we're going to end up putting the coffee table and just a lot
16:00
of baby proofing we have to still do in here and until then we got to get like the sockets covered but until then this
16:06
is where she kind of just hangs out she is sleepy but she's fighting her
16:12
nap right now and I'm going to just grab the groceries this is what I had actually went to the dollar store for
16:18
now this used to be a 10piece for a dollar now you get four for like $1.25 but they are like good quality
16:26
like banquet dinner plates basically so like they're plastic but they're hard like not really bendable and so um
16:34
trying to get like these for a good price had been difficult like in bulk i ended up paying like
16:39
$17 for I think like 14 packs of these i needed like at least 50 but I just
16:44
wanted to have a few extras but at least I have 60 with just maybe a little bit extra but um yeah so that's really what
16:53
I had going and then they also have six of these the other thing I went for this is the gel that you light that you you
17:00
know use to keep like food warm and things like that and these you can get just for $1.25 at the dollar store too
17:07
so that's just like the cheapest place to get them so I went ahead and got six of these um because basically I am
17:14
trying to help my sister well not help i'm planning my sister's baby shower but I've been trying to go and find the best
17:21
budget so um that's a pretty good decent price dreamy
17:30
breezy easy easy on our tiptoes
17:37
undercover agents of the other beyond gravel
17:45
beyond dreamy breezy we
17:51
go easy easy on our
17:56
tiptoes undercover agents of the other
18:03
beyond gravel beyond [Music]
18:10
i got the Walmart order here and then when Costco comes I'll have to do the
18:16
same thing but if you guys want to see this grocery haul I am going to be sharing that in a separate video so I'll
18:22
make sure that you know I'll like link it or tag it somewhere in this video where you guys can see like the actual
18:27
haul this is the Costco order so this was Costco delivery as well if you have a Costco membership you get delivery
18:34
completely free as well so you just want a tip and everything but they bring it
18:39
nicely packed and everything so this is what I got from Costco so I am going to be adding these to my grocery haul but
18:45
just an overview for you guys to just see what we have here this is just like kind of some of the stuff that we got i
18:51
got some of the travel stuff here i've got some Easter basket finds some little
18:56
things for baby girl to try um just little stuff i got fruit everything like
19:04
that so you know just just some groceries that I have to put away got
19:10
this chicken Alfredo from Costco and I am going to put this in the oven for dinner it's really good and let's see
19:18
$19 $1859 and you just put this in the oven for about an hour let's see 50 to
19:24
60 minutes um it's pretty good and I'm just going to make this with some wings that I'm just going to put inside the
19:29
air fryer and that's going to be our quick dinner i grabbed some more hand soap these are the hand soaps that I
19:36
typically like to have scent theory ones they are moisturizing they have like
19:41
essential oils inside of them and they just don't have a ton of ingredients so
19:47
I like these ones they just work for me the best as far as like keeping my hands moisturized they just don't dry my hand
19:53
out and it doesn't cost a lot it's like $2.50 a piece so I just restocked a
19:58
little bit more hand soap i just finished filming a grocery haul for the channel now I'm going to just put
20:04
everything away baby girl is with dad at the moment so that was helpful like I'm
20:11
pretty sure by the time he gets her back she'll finally be down for her nap you guys it was a lifesaver um so he's got
20:17
baby girl putting her down for her nap and I am going to go ahead and get the groceries put away
20:26
[Music]
20:31

20:39
you no one else makes me feel this way don't know what you
20:45
[Music] do hold my hand could you hold my hand
20:51

20:59
i got some stuff that I need to take down to the deep freezer and then I'm going to store the travel stuff inside
21:05
of a little bag [Music]
21:15
closer i want to stay here with you all that we have is each other now i
21:25
promise I won't guys probably think I'm crazy but we have like areas in the yard
21:34
that we need to put some grass we did a lot of work at the end of the season and
21:42
we got like some trees pulled up and all types of things and basically yeah it's not looking so good and I can see some
21:49
things starting to emerge from the soil and so I think I'm going to go ahead and
21:54
put down this little patch seed stuff and hopefully because
22:01
we got like some rain coming maybe it'll help with
22:06
the patchy areas we had a leak in our sprinkler system which is hard to find cuz it's
22:13
like underground we found it but we now need to fix it so I put like a stick so that we remember where so that we can
22:22
get that patched up but this is all the damage we did just to try and find that leak the water would just pull
22:29
everywhere so now we don't have any grass here so I'm gonna sprinkle some of this down really quick since husband
22:36
still has the baby and hopefully we'll get some grass coming up soon
22:45

24:40
ball yeah mhm
24:48

24:56
this little hat here for Noah thought it was super cute a little hat for him to
25:02
wear to keep the sun out of his face for his head when we go to Florida keep this
25:07
i know but I got a few things for Naa
25:13
these was for her are actually for her Easter basket i want to get things that I felt like it's just not going to be
25:19
good quality it's not going to last or that I'm going to be throwing away later especially cuz I just been like
25:25
decluttering so many things it's a wooden puzzle with her name on it and I got
25:32
this from Sheen website then it has her name which I don't know if you guys have
25:38
noticed it's my name spelled backwards is her name or her name spelled
25:43
backwards is my name so that's a little puzzle for her Easter basket as well as
25:49
this cute adorable little bunny it's like a wooden rattle with like the
25:55
crocheted bunny and it's a little rattle super cute she's already like looking at it but this is going in her Easter
26:00
basket so she can't get it right now she has plenty of rattles at this point this here is like a little teether little
26:07
bunny or is that like a springish i don't know so she's going to soon be at
26:12
the age where she's going to want to play with wooden cars so I got her this one with her name engraved on it it is
26:19
so adorable the cutest little wooden car for her this as well is like a
26:27
crocheted wooden pacifier clip and this one also has their name on it it is so
26:34
so adorable and you just clip it to them and then you attach the pacifier to
26:40
the other end i thought this was cute easter egg moracas so those will go in the basket too and then for
26:48
Noah I got for his basket thought this was really really cute and he needed
26:56
another one his other ones are getting really full but these you got the little
27:01

27:20
um bricks and stuff okay let's put your stuff back away let me put the carrot
27:33
in this little baby she did nap when my husband had her she takes about two naps
27:40
per day right now it's not looking like she's going to take another nap but if I can get her to take another nap then I
27:47
can work out while she's napping and if she does not take if she doesn't take
27:54
another nap and then my husband will keep her or um she'll be working out next to me that's probably what I'll do
27:59
i'll put her in the swing while I work out and then if she does like begin to fuss or cry or anything like that then
28:05
my husband will grab her 's office just so happens to be right next to the workout room hi
