2E vacation in Florida it feels like we
0:04
had been there for so long and being at
0:07
home you don't imagine how fast time can
0:09
fly um it feels like time is a little
0:12
bit more slow moving but being on
0:14
vacation so much has happened in the
0:16
past two weeks especially with baby girl
0:18
she has grown so much babies grow so
0:20
fast she is 4 months as of yesterday
0:23

1:56
I'll show you guys briefly like what the
1:57
home is looking like so this is the room
2:00
not too too bad but definitely need some
2:02
tidying Noah was so happy to be back
2:04
from vacation that he just like ruined
2:06
his bedroom but luckily we did declutter
2:09
some toys before leaving so it shouldn't
2:11
be as difficult to clean it up except
2:15
these puzzles here because that means I
2:17
have to figure out what pieces goes to
2:19
these puzzles because I used her room
2:21
for packing purposes I still have a lot
2:24
of things here just like out of place
2:26
that we couldn't decide to pack or not
2:29
in her closet needs to be reorganized as
2:31
well how you doing
2:34
H what you
2:37
doing H
2:42
[Music]
2:43
Hi
2:44
H let's go make something to eat all
2:47
right so I'm going to head downstairs
2:49
and probably like get started with some
2:51
food make something to eat but I need to
2:53
leave this camera on the charger I'm so
2:55
unorganized like trying to get back into
2:57
the swing of things picked up the camera
2:59
and it's it's a 1% battery life so let's
3:03
just pause this for a second so far I've
3:05
accomplished nothing the only thing I
3:07
have successfully done is make a pot of
3:09
coffee but I did not drink the coffee
3:11
yet NAA has successfully messed up her
3:15
first outfit of the day while she was in
3:17
her swing and has helping my
3:20
husband locate the bins in the garage
3:23
with the Christmas decor he's downstairs
3:26
cleaning up the garage a little bit and
3:28
taking out some stuff
3:30
for the um holiday and
3:35
then ah you have to change this little
3:37
stinky is that
3:41
funny and I didn't clean the house first
3:45
either so now it's just a bigger mess
3:49
with the Christmas deor on top of it
3:51
mixing with the Thanksgiving and
3:53
Halloween decor and things we need to
3:56
unpack
3:59
do you see that baby that's
4:04
you that's you you see the
4:07
baby all
4:09
right get you in this little onesie I
4:12
think you too big for her just about
4:15
this is your last chance I think with
4:16
this
4:20
onesie
4:22
hi
4:23
hi yeah see
4:27
yeah oh you let my hair go
4:31
let my hair
4:33
go say
4:41
hi no you don't like that
4:48
bow do you like that one
4:51
better yeah okay look at the mess in
4:54
here lots of stuff like from pre-trip
4:58
and then some stuff that we brought back
5:01
kitchen table is a mess I did do the
5:04
dishes this is everything that we just
5:06
took out for Christmas we still have
5:08
like spring Decor up there on the
5:11
Whiteboard and I think I'm going to move
5:13
the Whiteboard Into The Homeschool Room
5:15
as well as those beans there so I think
5:17
I'm going to feed the hungry girl as you
5:19
can
5:20
see and then I'm going to get started
5:23
with some more cleaning it's Sunday so
5:25
we don't have to do home school so that
5:27
gave me some time to get some cleaning
5:34
done she's sleeping we got to get her to
5:37
stay
5:39
sleep all
5:41
right I got NAA down so I'm going to try
5:44
and not be super loud I'm going to go
5:46
downstairs and try to find some dinner
5:48
to cook for the day and um going to
5:52
start cleaning up the front room work my
5:54
way from the front to the back
5:57
[Music]
6:08
and I find myself wondering what
6:10
happened to the last 10 I ran away with
6:13
my life fast forward never turn back
6:16
again it's kind of funny that the more
6:19
we pass time the more we need to set the
6:22
rewind and I was the had to leave you
6:25
but now I'm seeing all the signs
6:29
this barely happen I can't believe it's
6:34
true I'm just as surprised it's
6:39
you is this happen here I can't be too
6:44
sure but one day I'll be
6:48
yours again
6:50
[Music]
7:01
lessons come one in azen the other 11
7:04
get something from I here
7:08
looking still much more to go but it's
7:11
definitely some progress I think now is
7:12
the time for me to stop and take a break
7:14
and get to the unpacking and then I'll
7:17
continue with a bit more of the
7:19
decluttering so back there you can see
7:22
in the hallway is what I mean when I say
7:23
declutter the shoes over there need to
7:25
be decluttered we can put away our
7:26
summer shoes pull out some of our more
7:29
cool weather shoes over here on the
7:31
table need some decluttering as for in
7:33
here I did clear off like the um top of
7:35
the table in the sofa underneath the
7:37
table we still have some stuff up under
7:39
there that we use for homeschool and I
7:42
don't have a home for it right now so
7:44
I'm not really bothering it I think that
7:47
I was going to originally put it inside
7:49
of this being here like storage but I'm
7:52
going to move that being because our
7:54
Christmas tree is going to go here for
7:55
this room so I'm thinking what I'm going
7:58
to do is purchase a few for this shelf
8:00
that needs to be better organized I have
8:03
like a puzzle falling apart and then
8:05
once I get some containers I can do some
8:07
more homeschool decluttering but I'm
8:09
going to move on to unpacking these
8:11
suitcases and trying to get that done
8:13
before the baby wakes up for now pretty
8:15
much just open them up on the floor and
8:17
then separate everything for where it
8:19
needs to go and then carry it to where
8:20
it needs to go I try not to carry the
8:22
suitcases upstairs after they leave the
8:24
airport because they kind of just need
8:25
to be washed down um disinfected and
8:29
everything everything like that so I
8:30
don't want to carry it through the
8:32
entire home for that reason so I'm just
8:34
going to unpack them down here the front
8:36
room and then when I'm done I'll clean
8:38
them and then that's when I'll move on
8:41
to sweeping and mopping in here so
8:42
that's why I didn't mop in here yet
8:43
because I know I need to get these
8:45
suitcases out of the way first as well
8:47
as the stuff in the hallway with the
8:49
shoes once I get the shoes and stuff
8:50
taken care of that to be easier for me
8:52
to like vacuum the rugs and you know all
8:55
that stuff so let's just keep going so I
8:57
had to grab coffee and and
9:08
donut I am like procrastinating to the
9:12
fullest I've had a dut I've got coffee
9:15
I'm still a motivated packing is fun
9:19
unpacking is just not fun just not so
9:22
much but I got to do it like having a
9:24
clean
9:25
home it's nice and you know what I'm
9:28
really just so thankful and grateful to
9:30
have a home a comfortable home a warm
9:32
home to have so much stuff that I have
9:34
to even you know declutter so often to
9:37
have a messy home because I have kids
9:39
running around and I know it sounds
9:41
cliche but like leaving and going on
9:43
vacation and then just coming back with
9:45
like fresh eyes not even having to pick
9:47
up anything or clean anything for 2
9:49
weeks it helps you to feel a lot more
9:52
grateful because for one of course you
9:54
got that refresher that break but for
9:55
two you haven't been in your home for so
9:57
long and when you step back into it you
9:59
realize like the little things that
10:00
you've missed about your home and
10:02
spending that family time together on
10:03
vacation with your loved ones it just
10:06
remind me you know how blessed we are so
10:10
I'm just going to get right into it and
10:12
just be happy about the holiday season
10:14
coming up not going to go into it afraid
10:16
of seasonal depression or anything like
10:18
that I'm just going to you know tackle
10:20
ahead on and just try to keep reminding
10:22
myself as much as I have to as much as
10:24
necessary and the fact that I even have
10:26
like an outlet now like to go to the
10:28
mom's group every week the play groups
10:30
and things like that there are so many
10:31
ways for me to try and fight seasonal
10:34
depression but I'm going to try to do it
10:36
more proactively this year each year I
10:38
get a little bit better at it I'm not
10:39
going to ease up this
10:43
year the good thing about um having a
10:46
washer and dryer in unit is that you can
10:51
um come home with clean clothes like I
10:54
don't have to do as much laundry as I
10:58
would have have
11:00
to if we didn't have a washer and dryer
11:03
unit so really happy about that so I'm
11:06
just like taking everything out folding
11:07
it back up neatly and
11:11
um separating them in the PS according
11:14
to the drawers that they have to go
11:20
in and it sounds like the baby is up
11:24
because my son is just jumping around
11:27
upstairs Extremely Loud
11:31
um so I'm going to go get her put her in
11:33
her swing I tried to grab a camera light
11:37
to try and get a little bit of better
11:39
Lighting in here and then I had to get
11:40
the baby so she's over there in the
11:43
sweet guys sweet girl this is one of the
11:45
spirit jerseys we got this time on sale
11:49
for 30 bucks at the Disney Outlet so
11:53
here's the suitcase and I'm just taking
11:55
everything out of
11:57
here and
12:00
putting it in piles some of it is going
12:03
to go downstairs because it's like sumar
12:09
this one is uh a Halloween sweatshirt so
12:14
that's going to go downstairs since
12:15
Halloween is pass us so that's what I
12:17
mean by like just separating everything
12:19
into separate piles and
12:22
things you gave me the soul I had today
12:26
without you I never could have moved
12:28
away but now I seek what you teach I do
12:31
believe I always should have
12:34
stay
12:37
this I can't believe it's true I'm just
12:41
as surprised
12:44
you is this really happen here I can't
12:49
be too sure but one day I'll be
12:54
your again
13:04
[Music]

13:50
swimsuit and shirts to go on my drawer
13:54
pajamas socks and things some of the
13:56
babies like receiving blankets and
13:58
packing like covers over here these are
14:00
all the baby's things right here so
14:01
these things I can fold and put away all
14:03
of the stuff I don't think she'll ever
14:04
wear again because it's either summer or
14:07
seasonal and of course babies you know
14:08
they grow out of things this stuff I
14:10
have to hang up for her and then these
14:11
are like shirts to put in her drawer
14:13
these are all accessories so I'm going
14:14
to just take these up together in a be
14:17
and put them in their place over here is
14:19
more of my thing so everything over here
14:21
needs to go into storage I got some
14:23
stuff to hang up I got some stuff that
14:25
belongs to Noah um things that I'm going
14:28
to put in the Disney bag so that I can
14:30
do a haul um showing like just a ton of
14:33
things that we purchased while we were
14:34
there Electronics to put in the desk
14:36
those belong to my husband so I'm going
14:38
to leave that out while I unpack his
14:39
suitcase and then just like toilet trees
14:42
and accessories to put away for myself
14:43
so I'm going to work my way through all
14:45
of this and then be right back I
14:47
finished unpacking my suitcase and you
14:50
guys I'm telling you this sweet girl was
14:52
so sweet let me show you guys she's just
14:53
chilling she's so easy going over here
14:56
hey baby are you sleepy
15:00
H just hanging
15:02
out okay sweetest thing ever it's like
15:05
she just wants to be able to see you or
15:09
hear you or something so like sometimes
15:11
she'll sleep even if it's like loud as
15:13
long as she can hear us she not ahead of
15:14
the crisy because that's the one place
15:16
where she cannot see us for the most
15:18
part as long as we're near her she's a
15:20
pretty calm going baby let's get this
15:24
zipped up so we can get it
15:26
clean one down and one to go
15:30
[Music]
15:45
cleaned up this Saloon some I even did
15:47
the dishes earlier which you guys didn't
15:49
see I was like kind of doing it while my
15:52
husband was getting stuff out the garage
15:54
so we did take the Christmas stuff out
15:55
the garage
15:57
hi and I got the suitcase is unpacked I
16:00
still have to put the rest of the stuff
16:02
from my husband's suitcase away I am
16:04
going to take a break and feed this
16:08
little girly see if she needs a diaper
16:10
change
16:11
hi you guys can see she's either hungry
16:15
or teething or both so I'm going to turn
16:18
to her um and then I'm going to get that
16:21
done and see what we can accomplish next
16:26
we have so much more to do I really want
16:28
to decl of the hall hallway dough uh we
16:30
have like a swing that we were going to
16:32
return for a month I think we were going
16:34
to return this since before she was born
16:37
at this point I think I'm just going to
16:38
take it into my husband's office and see
16:40
if he wants to keep it there for her
16:43
instead here in the family room I have a
16:47
band here it says USPS pickup that's not
16:50
what it's for it used to be for that but
16:52
I have like all the paper and stuff to
16:53
wrap up the fall decor and put it back
16:55
away I just got to put this stuff into
16:57
storage so I'm going to get a bean and
17:00
I'm going to put like fragile things
17:02
that need to be wrapped up inside of
17:04
that clear bean and then I quietly
17:08
removed everything from off the sofa and
17:11
the table here and got it put away
17:13
quietly because I fed the baby spent
17:16
about an hour um holding her rocking her
17:19
playing with her changed her and she
17:21
fell back to sleep so I just put her
17:23
back into the swing while she is
17:26
sleeping um but now over here it's like
17:29
things that my husband's going to have
17:30
to help me declutter because this is all
17:32
of his stuff after he helps me to do
17:34
that I'm just going to feel like an
17:36
individual like clean and decorate with
17:38
me per room more than likely I'm going
17:40
to start upstairs with the kids room
17:43
that way I can start getting some of the
17:44
Christmas decor out of the family room
17:46
if I put them in each room that they
17:48
belong in so I'm going to start upstairs
17:51
in the kids room and then more than
17:54
likely do the bathrooms but once that's
17:56
done I'm going to focus on the kitchen
17:59
family room and living room gradually
18:01
saving the family room for last because
18:03
it's probably going to be the most
18:05
difficult that's in the kitchen the
18:07
thing with the kitchen is like I said I
18:08
still have things in the family room and
18:09
kitchen that I need to take down and
18:12
then aside from that we are trying to
18:14
decide if we are going to switch out our
18:16
countertops for new butcher blocks from
18:20
Ikea and if we do that then I would have
18:23
to wait for the Christmas decor as far
18:25
as countertops go but let's go ahead and
18:28
just take down the fall stuff for now um
18:31
while baby girl sleep at this time it's
18:33
also time for us to start getting ready
18:35
for dinner cuz it's 5:00 my husband is
18:37
going to cook dinner today he makes the
18:39
best grilled salmon so we're going to
18:42
have that with rice and broccoli for
18:44
dinner today and I'll probably have a
18:46
protein shake because I've been losing a
18:47
lot of weight since having the baby like
18:49
I was 1:30 pre and it took me a while to
18:53
get to that 130 weight I had to do like
18:57
weight gain and weight training working
19:00
out and things like that protein shakes
19:01
Mas Gainer to get from when I started
19:04
that journey I was 108 lb that's how low
19:07
I had gotten after I had my first child
19:09
to 108 lbs and um when he turned maybe 2
19:14
and 1/2 years old is when I began the
19:16
Journey of gaining weight working out
19:18
more at that time I went from 108 to 130
19:22
healthy weight so um I can see that I'm
19:26
dropping down again because breast
19:28
feeding kind of just takes a lot out of
19:30
you so that and I hadn't been working
19:33
out or anything like that right now I'm
19:35
like 1:25 prea I was 130 um I went up to
19:43
146 throughout the pregnancy and then 6
19:47
weeks postpartum I was back 128 now I'm
19:51
125 and so I know it's going to keep
19:53
going down and I don't want it to get
19:55
too bad so maybe today I'll have some
19:57
sort of shake
19:59
to help with that still a little more
