Hi friends, welcome to Motherhead and
0:02
Homemaking. Today I'm going to take you
0:03
guys along for a day in the life. Today
0:05
we have to do Nilla's swim lessons. I am
0:08
currently drinking my tea. I just got
0:11
baby girls and myself dressed for the
0:13
day and I'm going to put some biscuits
0:15
in the oven. We're just going to go from
0:17
there. I also have a grocery order on
0:18
the way, so I'll do a grocery haul for
0:20
you guys, too. Noah wanted to eat these
0:22
little pizzas from Costco, which is good
0:26
because they expire in what, 15 more
0:30
days. So, I'll let him eat the rest or,
0:33
you know, eat some so that they don't
0:35
all go to waste. And um I'm going to
0:39
make biscuits for the rest of us.
0:43

0:56
[Music]
1:03
today
1:05
and not tomorrow.
1:08
There's no
1:10
time to borrow.
1:13
Today
1:15
is a good day to live.
1:21
[Music]
1:23
This morning have a clear light as any
1:28
to see the horizon at the far.
1:33
Excuses were too for a penny,
1:38
but they've all gone out of the window
1:40
of this car.
1:43
And when I feel
1:45
the wind
1:48
on my face.
1:51
So, really quickly, let's get into this
1:53
Costco haul that we have here. I have
1:56
the what is this? Foster Farms
1:59
glutenfree
2:01
crispy wings. These are just a really
2:04
easy bag of wings from Costco. And then
2:08
I also have these ones are the seasoned
2:12
garlic wings
2:14
as well. They give you what is it 3 lb I
2:16
believe. I thought I ordered 3 lb, but
2:18
this is like 5 lb. So really easy to
2:23
throw in a slow cooker, the air fryer,
2:26
oven, however you want to do that. We
2:28
also got these convenient meals, which
2:32
is the chicken Alfredo.
2:37
This is the meatloaf and mashed potato.
2:39
These are all things that you just like
2:42
they're pre-made. This is great for if
2:44
you don't have a lot of time, just like
2:46
freezer dump meals to keep on hand. It's
2:48
also great for like my postpartum moms
2:50
and things like that. You could just get
2:52
like things like this. They also have
2:53
this two pack of Italian sausage
2:56
lasagnas. And most of these are going to
2:59
last, well, for my family of four, it
3:01
lasts us like 2 days. Um, these are also
3:04
good for like a mom that just had a
3:06
baby. If you want to like deliver them a
3:08
meal, but you don't necessarily want to
3:09
cook something, you could do something
3:11
like this. Um, what else? These are a
3:15
favorite of ours. This is a chicken stir
3:18
fry kit. This will never last two days
3:21
because you want the box. Yeah, she
3:24
likes playing with these boxes.
3:27
These don't never last us two days
3:29
because it is so good. And my husband
3:32
adds like his own seasonings to him. So,
3:34
I grabbed this one here, the stir fry.
3:38
Noah really, really loves hard-boiled
3:41
eggs. He just does. Never tried these.
3:44
Um, hardboiled ready to eat eggs. 12 g
3:48
of protein per pack. And there are 16
3:52
two packs. Easy to go to like snacks if
3:55
you're just wanting something cuz you're
3:58
hungry, but you don't feel like cooking.
3:59
Again, instead of going to an unhealthy
4:01
snack, you could just go to something
4:04
like this that you don't have to cook.
4:05
Cuz I know sometimes you don't feel like
4:08
preparing a snack because you just want
4:11
something quick. You're hungry, you
4:13
haven't made anything, and you just
4:14
don't feel like or don't have the time
4:16
to make anything. So, it's that'll be
4:18
good for that. These chicken sandwiches
4:20
here comes with sauce, chicken breast,
4:24
tomato, cheese, lettuce, and then it
4:28
comes with some dipping sauce. So,
4:32
little sandwiches good to have. This is
4:35
the Chicken Street taco kit. Comes with
4:37
12 tacos. The chicken, the colelaw,
4:40
lime, tortillas, salsa, and the cilantro
4:43
lime
4:46
um like cream sauce. But this here,
4:50
another one. These are the cream cheese
4:52
danishes. Comes with four of them. And
4:55
then this is the cherry
4:58
danishes here with four as well. These
5:01
are a good breakfast option to just get
5:02
up and have with a cup of tea. Now, my
5:05
other go-to snack option, I love milk
5:08
chocolate almonds. And a lot of times
5:10
you can find the dark chocolate covered
5:12
ones or just like the chocolate coated
5:15
ones, but to find the milk chocolate
5:17
ones, for me personally, like here where
5:20
we live, it's hard to find. But Costco
5:22
has them, but they only sell them in
5:24
this large container. And as much as I
5:26
love them, if I get this large
5:27
container, I know I'm going to eat them
5:29
all. So, I got this and I'll be snacking
5:31
on this. This is 3 lbs of chocolate
5:33
almonds. But there's something about
5:35
these almonds fuel me if I need a go-to
5:38
snack, like a pickme uper throughout the
5:39
day. Almonds are just good for you
5:41
overall. A lot better without the
5:43
chocolate, but I like the chocolate
5:45
covered ones. And then just got us a bag
5:49
of the liquid IV hydration multipliers.
5:52
This is the 30 pack. 15 lemon lime and
5:55
15 strawberries. Drink this every day.
5:58
My husband likes these Hog and Dy
6:00
vanilla or Hogandai vanilla milk
6:03
chocolate almond ice cream bars. So, him
6:06
some ice cream bars. That's everything
6:08
from our Costco order. And we have a
6:13
Walmart order coming later once we get
6:15
back from Noah's swim practice. So, I'll
6:17
show you guys what we have there. So,
6:19
let me just say not much of anything
6:22
that I actually have to prep to cook.
6:24
Everything is ready to cook, ready to
6:26
put in the oven or ready to eat. Nothing
6:29
here takes a lot of prep work. We are
6:33
less than two weeks out from our Florida
6:38
trip. So, we just needed some things to
6:41
eat. We have a lot a lot of things to
6:43
do. Basically, right now, we are in a
6:45
very busy season. The next week and a
6:48
half is going to be very very busy for
6:50
us. So, I know that I'm going to be
6:54
doing a lot of like clean cleaning and
6:56
everything and a lot of like packing. I
7:01
don't have a bunch of time. So, I need
7:04
things that I can easily cook that
7:07
doesn't require me to restock my pantry
7:10
because I don't want anything to go to
7:12
waste. Like, I don't want to restock and
7:14
then it's not going to get eaten. So, I
7:16
just wanted to get things that are
7:18
already prepared. So, but I'm not like,
7:20
"Oh, okay. If I want to make Alfredo, I
7:22
need to restock the cheese. I need to
7:24
buy a bag of of chicken breast. I need
7:26
to restock our pasta pantry, restock our
7:28
noodles for the stir fry, you know, like
7:31
just basically there's a lot of things
7:32
that if I wanted to prepare these meals
7:34
myself, I would need to restock my
7:36
pantry and it would go to waste partly.
7:40
Plus, I really want to We've been
7:43
working on like eating what we already
7:44
have in our freezer, our fridge, our
7:46
pantry, and then anything that's opened
7:49
is going to basically get thrown away.
7:52
And anything that hasn't been open or
7:54
anything that's like shelf stable or
7:56
anything like that's pantry safe and
7:58
closed tightly is going to be, you know,
8:01
stay here because we do have a home
8:03
sitter. So, we don't need to, you know,
8:07
like overdo it. But the homesitter is
8:09
going to be shopping for their own food,
8:12
but also
8:14
we are going to be traveling back home
8:16
quite often ourselves throughout the,
8:19
you know, course of our time being away.
8:22
So, we are going to still have some
8:23
things, but nothing like immediate.
8:26
Basically, I didn't want to buy any
8:27
groceries that I know is going to go old
8:28
within the next two to four weeks. So,
8:33
this is what we have. The Walmart order
8:35
has a lot of travel snacks, so I'll show
8:39
you guys what's in there. We're all
8:40
ready to go. I got both the kiddos
8:42
dressed and we're about to head up to
8:44
take Noah to his swim lessons for the
8:46
day. And then I have more groceries that
8:48
should be arriving shortly after we get
8:50
back home. And um then we'll get some
8:54
dinner going. We did not do home school
8:57
today. Typically plan to do 4 days per
8:59
week. So either we will take a break
9:01
Thursday or Friday. So we'll do Monday,
9:03
Tuesday, Wednesday, and then if we do it
9:05
Thursday, we won't do it Friday. But if
9:07
we don't do it Thursday, we'll do it
9:08
Friday. And if we can do both Thursday
9:10
and Friday, then that is good. So four
9:13
to five days. So back from swim
9:15
practice. And I did really, really well.
9:18
But I wanted to show you guys the other
9:20
part of this grocery haul for the house.
9:22
More raw honey. I got an 18 pack of
9:25
eggs. Normally when I cook eggs, I'm
9:27
making six or eight at a time. So this
9:28
is only going to last us about 3 days or
9:30
so. And then I also got this for the
9:32
house because if I don't finish eating
9:35
these, it's something that I can also
9:36
snack on during the ride because it's
9:39
just really, really good. But it's 10 g
9:41
of protein per serving and only 1 g of
9:44
sugar. So this is the Catalina Crunch
9:46
protein cereal and it's really good with
9:49
milk. We got the blueberry muffin and
9:51
the cinnamon toast one. And the cinnamon
9:53
toast one has the 11 g of protein but
9:56
zero sugar. And then it also has fiber.
10:00
So, just a few things just to have in
10:02
the house. But over here, just a couple
10:04
of travel necessities. We got these PB&J
10:06
Uncrustables sandwich or rather just buy
10:09
them instead of making them. This is
10:11
just a one to two day type thing while
10:13
we are on the road. So, four strawberry,
10:15
four grape, and then just a bunch of
10:17
these little cracker and cheese turkey
10:21
like lunchable thingies. I didn't get
10:23
the one that has like the juice and the
10:25
candies and things like that because I'm
10:27
sure it's not going to be one that I
10:29
like so much. So, six g of protein and
10:33
these smaller snack ones. And then I
10:35
just got four of these. Any of us can
10:38
snack on these. This one has 12 g of
10:40
protein. Just something quickly to run
10:43
us over if we get a little bit hungry
10:45
and we don't have a rest stop or a
10:46
restaurant stop coming up for us. And
10:49
then in here, I just got some things
10:51
that I need to put in the fridge. Go
10:53
squeezes, which is just like the pre
10:57
packaged or pre-bought store um apples
11:00
sauces. So, we got the applesauce and
11:01
then the strawberry yogurt. Both the
11:03
kids can have these. Na likes those as
11:06
well, though. And then I also got these
11:08
beach nut banana and yogurt mixed berry
11:13
um yogurt pouches specifically for Na.
11:17
So, we got the strawberry and the
11:22
banana. I think banana and
11:27
mixed berry and then just strawberry.
11:30
And then I grabbed just one of these
11:32
apple juices for Noah. These are the
11:34
ones that have no sugar added, but
11:36
they're really cute. So, I grabbed one
11:38
of those for Noah. So, these ones I'm
11:41
going to keep in here. All this stuff.
11:43
Got to put all that in the fridge. Just
11:45
some things from the pantry. I'm going
11:46
to put it in this bag so that we know
11:48
like don't touch. Basically, Avea likes
11:51
these gluten-free organic like rusk
11:54
crackers. Has no artificial colors. Um
11:58
very easy to dissolve. These are like 6
12:00
months and up even though she's a year
12:02
old. She's going to have these. So,
12:04
she's got the banana one. And then I
12:06
also have the
12:10
strawberry apple and spinach Gerber one
12:12
for her. And then those are the two
12:14
flavors that she likes. I also grabbed
12:17
just for me, my husband, and Noah some
12:21
little dunkeroos in case we just want
12:22
something sweet. This is just the
12:24
vanilla cookies with like the icing.
12:26
These are Noah's favorite little chips.
12:28
So, I got him those. And then these are
12:30
Na's favorite little chips. So, I got
12:32
her these ones. And then we'll put these
12:33
in like, you know, the little baby snack
12:35
cups and the little toddler snack cups
12:37
for them. And then
12:40
more of these for everybody. This is the
12:44
crackers with the cheese dip. Some
12:46
little fun stuff. And then inside of
12:48
here, we also just have a few snacks.
12:50
So, Noah likes the Twizzlers.
12:53
So, I'm going to put these inside of a
12:56
little like reusable sandwich baggie so
12:58
he can have Twizzlers. I guess we all
13:00
could except the baby, of course. Little
13:02
Mamba fruit, shoes, and then some
13:05
Skittles and Mentos. Those are all my
13:08
favorites. And if there's anything else
13:09
my husband specifically wants, he'll be
13:11
able to get that. So, only other thing I
13:14
want to add is some like some chewing
13:17
gum. And then these ice mountains
13:19
because they have like the squeeze tops.
13:22
So, we can just put our liquid IV in
13:24
there and we don't have to worry about
13:26
pouring it in another cup or anything if
13:28
we don't want to. Um, and I'll keep
13:31
these in like a little soft cooler. And
13:33
then we also have these here in vitamin
13:35
waters as well. So, nothing like super
13:38
sugary. Um, just water and vitamin
13:40
waters for the most part. And then we
13:42
are planning to make one stop for, you
13:47
know, food. We're going to have food
13:48
before we leave, a stop halfway through
13:51
to eat. Then we're going to stay a night
13:53
at a hotel, and then again, breakfast
13:56
before we leave, and then one stop
13:59
midway between for lunch. But it is a
14:01
new day and I am just making some
14:05
breakfast. This pan, by the way, is not
14:08
dirty. It has just been cooked in many,
14:11
many, many times. But I love the pan. It
14:14
just does. This gets dark on the bottom.
14:17
So if they have dark colored ones, then
14:19
maybe next time I'll get the dark
14:21
colored ones.
14:23
But while I'm preparing
14:26
some breakfast, I wanted to talk about
14:30
something feel inspired to share about.
14:34
And that is that you are not going to be
14:37
everybody's cup of tea. Why?
14:41
Because we serve God, not people.
14:47
And therefore,
14:50
everyone's not going to like what we say
14:53
or what we do or maybe even us in
14:55
general. That is okay. There are many
14:57
instances in the Bible where God tells
15:00
us that this is going to be the case.
15:03
And he warns us of this and he tells us,
15:06
you know,
15:08
don't grow weary and doing good and
15:11
set your heart on things that are pure
15:13
and true, noble, right? all of these
15:16
things. And so I just wanted to remind
15:19
you of that specifically because I know
15:20
that right now the way that this past
15:24
week has been after everything
15:27
surrounding Charlie Kirk, which is
15:30
deeply, deeply saddening. Um we are
15:34
praying for Erica and for her children
15:38
and for the world and um
15:45
it's just a lot of separation and
15:46
division. And while I am very much
15:49
surprised of the events surrounding it
15:51
and I'm often pretty surprised about the
15:55
way that people today react and the way
16:00
that we go about our lives. Um
16:04
I'm not
16:06
it's not new, you know, because there
16:08
are so many things in the Bible. There
16:10
was jealousy, there was sin, all of
16:12
these things. there was division. And so
16:16
in times like this, I try to just step
16:19
away and
16:22
read my Bible and pray and not look to
16:26
the world for understanding cuz a lot of
16:28
things we just are not going to
16:30
understand. Um, and so I know like right
16:34
now it's just a lot of like people on
16:36
both sides of things, which to be honest
16:38
I think is very odd
16:41
that you can either be on the right or
16:45
wrong side of such a event. It's just to
16:48
me weird that
16:50
you know I don't know it's a sad thing
16:53
and that's not the case for everybody.
16:55
And so within all of this division, I
16:58
just felt inspired to tell you that it's
17:00
okay if you're not everyone's cup of
17:02
tea. It's okay if you don't think the
17:03
same as everybody. If everyone doesn't
17:05
agree with you, um you're not meant to
17:09
because in this on this earth, we are
17:14
here to
17:16
grow the kingdom of heaven and to
17:18
glorify God in everything that we do.
17:21
And if that is what you're doing and
17:23
someone disagrees with you, then that's
17:26
not on you. It's not for you to try to
17:28
fix, it's okay. And so, yeah, that is
17:32
something that I needed to remind
17:33
myself. And I figured maybe I would
17:35
remind you, too, just in case it's
17:36
something that you needed to hear in
17:39
such a time as well. So, I'm going to
17:41
continue to prepare these eggs for
17:46
the family. I just finished making doing
17:50
a clean with me video, so you guys are
17:52
going to see that soon. I cleaned the
17:53
home up, shared that with you guys. I
17:56
have pretty much just been um doing a
17:59
lot of like, you know, cleaning, pack,
18:01
prepping, packing. That's the current
18:03
season that we are in right now. So, I
18:05
know that I haven't been putting out as
18:08
many videos as I would like to, but
18:09
they're coming. They are coming. Getting
18:11
back into it. I also needed to declutter
18:14
a few different areas of my life and
18:16
everything. So, yeah, I just needed to I
18:21
needed a little time. Definitely wanted
18:23
to pop on here, make a day in the life
18:26
video, say hey. Just wanted to chat with
18:30
you all a little bit. Um,
18:33
it's been a little while since I did a
18:35
grocery haul
18:37
and a little while since I've done a day
18:38
in a life, so I was like, let's just do
18:40
both. Let's just combine them both and
18:43
catch up a little bit. So, comment. I've
18:45
got a shell in here. I have a shell in
18:48
here. Comment below. Say hi. Love to
18:52
hear from you guys. I know that, you
18:55
know, it's it's been different around
18:58
here on this channel and really all of
19:00
YouTube, if I'm honest, has just been a
19:02
little bit different lately. Um, so
19:05
let's just let's just hang in there and
19:08
keep going with things and everything is
19:11
going to be okay. That is all that I can
19:13
say right now. It's just a lot. So yeah,
19:16
this is like my check-in video. Um,
19:18
check in with me too down below. And if
19:21
this is your first time on my channel, I
19:26
invite you to watch some more videos on
19:28
my channel. That way, you know, you can
19:31
get some more inspiration. we can
19:33
connect a little bit more. And if you
19:35
enjoy this channel and the type of
19:37
content that I put out, you could
19:39
subscribe and join the family and allow
19:42
me to motivate you, inspire you, and
19:45
connect with you a bit more. Normally, I
19:47
don't do my eggs like this. I scrambled
19:49
them in the bowl before, but I just
19:53
cleaned up. I don't want to mess up any
19:55
more dishes. So, this is the way I'm
19:57
going to scramble the eggs today. And
19:59
I'm only making four because my husband
20:00
said he didn't want any eggs today. So,
20:04
I'm only making these for
20:08
the kids
20:10
because I think I'm just going to have a
20:12
little bit of oatmeal. Making these for
20:14
the kiddos so that they can have some
20:17
when they wake up.
20:19
It is Saturday. We don't have to do any
20:21
home school, but I have a long list of
20:23
other things that I need to get done.
20:25
Today that's going to require me to be
20:27
all over the house today. I'm going to
20:30
be
20:31
just everywhere
20:34
scrambled getting things done within
20:36
small bursts of time because I do have
20:40
my daughter. She's one
20:43
and she's busy and when she's not busy,
20:46
she wants all of my time and that is
20:48
okay. I'm going to cherish those little
20:50
moments and do what I can when I can.
20:54
Right, these are done.
21:00
All right, here you guys. But I have a
21:03
cup of tea. So, I need to start a load
21:05
in the laundry, but I really want to
21:07
just sit down and have some breakfast,
21:09
drink my tea, and spend some time in my
21:10
prayer and devotion so that I can
21:12
properly fuel myself for the day. I just
21:16
I'm much better throughout the day when
21:18
I started with God and properly like
21:20
fueling myself and you know taking care
21:23
of myself like healthwise you know doing
21:26
what I need to do. So I've got my
21:27
collagen peptides in here. Um and this
21:31
is just a regular English breakfast tea.
21:33
I'm going to sit down and drink this.
21:35
But I really do hope that you guys are
21:37
doing okay and I hope that you guys are
21:39
having a wonderful or have had a
21:41
wonderful week. And I hope that you
21:44
would also stick around for more videos,
21:47
more content that I have coming up for
21:49
you guys. But for today's video, that's
21:51
going to be all. I hope that you enjoyed
21:53

21:55
grocery haul, chatting a little bit,
21:58
catching up a little bit. If you did,
22:00
please give this video a thumbs up.
22:01
That's one way that you can help me and
22:03
my channel to grow. Cuz I'm going to
22:05
tell you guys, YouTube
22:07
is not easy. It's not easy. not only Z
22:10
mode, especially as a small content
22:12
creator. So, that's just one way that
22:13
you guys can help me. That's going to be
22:14
all for today's video. I hope that you
22:16
guys enjoyed it and I will see you guys
