welcome and welcome back my name is
0:02
heaven and today I am going to be doing
0:04
a Sunday reset for you all I decided to
0:06
just go ahead and pick up the camera and
0:08
Vlog today because I know there are a
0:10
few things I want to get done in order
0:12
to set myself up for a wonderful week so
0:15
I'm going to take you guys along with me
0:16
the first thing I'm going to be doing is
0:18
getting my little one up so that we can
0:20
head to church that is the first way
0:22
that I just start my week off on a
0:23
wonderful note it says that I know I
0:26
need to do a homeschool and meal plan
0:28
for the week a budget for the week as
0:31
well and make sure that we have all the
0:33
groceries needed for the things that I'm
0:35
going to be cooking for breakfast lunch
0:36
and dinner I have a ton of laundry to
0:39
catch up on in food and some things
0:40
around the house that I need to tidy up
0:42
Sundays are also my rest days so I'm not
0:45
gonna go too crazy just like some of the
0:47
easier simple tasks that I know will
0:50
also make the rest of the week easier
0:52
for me I am all about making life as a
0:54
stay-at-home mom wife or Homemaker
0:56
easier I have anyone sandwiches on
0:59
making my life harder than it has to be
1:01
so if you two are a mom just taking it
1:04
one day at a time and you're looking for
1:05
another mom to connect with who is just
1:08
keeping it real and sharing some
1:10
motivational helpful relatable and
1:12
realistic content then I invite you to
1:14
subscribe to my channel I post twice per
1:16
week and I would love to have you here
1:19
but let me go ahead and go get this
1:21
little one up so that we cannot be late
1:23
to church I'm also gonna put a pot of
1:25
coffee on and then probably have like my
1:28
to-go cup to service with me in a while
1:31
oh whatever
1:33
so you can see yourself
1:35
are you ready to go to church
1:37
all right let's go
1:39
yeah
1:42
Noah always has such a great time in
1:44
church he enjoys having the opportunity
1:46
to like go out playing with other kids
1:48
socialize with other kids and dancing
1:50
and singing so I'm super happy that we
1:52
found that church they have like Mom
1:54
groups and homeschool groups playdates
1:57
all the things so I'm always
2:00
pretty like happy and excited about that
2:03
so yeah we did Church came home and had
2:05
some lunch had some more coffee I didn't
2:07
finish my coffee this morning before
2:10
church because the dock got out of the
2:13
yard so that put us a little bit behind
2:15
and he'll just put a load of laundry in
2:17
the wash so I'm about to sit down and
2:20
start organizing my week a little bit
2:22
and then see what I need for the week so
2:26
that I can place a Walmart order to
2:29
either arrive tonight or in the morning
2:31
for like any groceries we need any like
2:34
supplies we need for homeschool because
2:36
sometimes within like a homeschool
2:38
curriculum there are little things for
2:39
activities that you're going to need to
2:41
purchase so that's another way that like
2:43
sitting down and doing weekly like
2:45
organizing and planning makes it to
2:48
where we don't get to a homeschool
2:49
lesson and then I don't have what I need
2:51
some people organize out the whole
2:53
school year before they even start which
2:56
is great I may do that with like our
2:58
science curriculum from the good and the
2:59
Beautiful I may do that with our
3:01
kindergarten prep curriculum that we're
3:03
going to be starting next week I don't
3:05
know we're gonna see but having this
3:07
planning every single Sunday every week
3:10
and definitely makes the week easier for
3:13
me I can even tape my like meal plan to
3:15
the fridge if I'm really like one track
3:18
minded and that helps me as well so yeah
3:21
I have a few books here that I'm gonna
3:23
go through and again I have like a lunch
3:25
like mine so I don't think I'm gonna be
3:28
able to like plan it out and write it
3:31
while talking okay so multitasking is a
3:35
thing and I know it's moms they have it
3:38
to its heat I was watching a video by
3:41
Angela I think it's Angela braniff or
3:44
I'm gonna leave it down below but Angela
3:46
was talking about how like Monty tasking
3:49
can do more harm than good so I'm trying
3:52
to be more intentional in that matter
3:54
and just try to slow down a little bit
3:56
in life my anxiety gets kind of bad and
3:59
kind of out of hand when it's just a
4:01
thousand things going on in this brain
4:03
at once I'm gonna try and be a little
4:05
bit more aware of that so I'm gonna sit
4:07
you guys down and start organizing and
4:11
planning for the week and then
4:13
um I'll show you guys and just talk you
4:15
guys through how I did it I can then go
4:17
and fold up some laundry that I need to
4:19
fill and then I want to go and clean out
4:20
the fridge so that's where I will start
4:24
foreign
4:25
[Music]
4:34
[Music]
4:42
[Music]
5:00
foreign
5:03
[Music]
5:07
s with all of the planning and so I'm
5:11
going to show you guys how I did it this
5:13
time around so basically I start with
5:16
separate
5:17
books and then I kind of can find them
5:20
to this book so for my meal plan for
5:24
instance I have some fruit that I know
5:27
will go bad if we don't eat it so I'm
5:29
gonna make like a fruit bowl and then
5:30
we'll have that throughout the week but
5:33
we'll also have it on the side of our
5:34
breakfast for Monday so I'll make some
5:36
waffles and fruit
5:37
and then for Tuesday we'll do cereal
5:40
Wednesday oatmeal and toast
5:42
Thursday I'll make pancakes Friday eggs
5:45
and sausage Saturday we'll do cereal and
5:48
then Sunday I have grits and sausage so
5:50
I do that for breakfast and then I do
5:52
the same thing for lunch so we're gonna
5:53
do grilled cheese or sandwiches chicken
5:55
cordon bleu which is like the stuffed
5:57
chicken breast we'll do salad and salmon
6:00
on Wednesdays which we will have more
6:02
left over so we'll do the same for
6:04
Thursday
6:05
Friday nuggets for Noah maybe cheese
6:08
sticks for us like mozzarella sticks and
6:11
then for Saturday we are going to do
6:13
like shrimp I think it's called like
6:15
shrimp tempura it's just like those
6:16
fried like shrimp we get some from
6:19
Costco and then we have eat out on
6:21
Sunday because we always grab lunch
6:23
right after service on Sundays so
6:26
same thing for dinner I have some beef
6:28
chops in the freezer that we're gonna do
6:30
with mashed potatoes and gravy Tuesday
6:33
we're gonna have some left over then
6:35
Wednesday I'll do some shrimp scampi
6:37
pasta and then Thursday we will have
6:39
some left over Friday we will do tacos
6:42
or nachos my husband's favorite and then
6:44
Saturday we will probably do a Hello
6:46
fresh meal
6:48
so that Sunday I could prep roasting
6:50
vegetables so we'll see how that goes if
6:53
we eat out for dinner on Saturday then
6:55
I'll prepare the roasting vegetables on
6:57
Saturday night so that I can rest
6:58
tomorrow on Sundays and for tonight my
7:01
husband's going to make I think like
7:03
fajitas or pita I think he's doing
7:05
chicken pitas for dinner tonight so
7:07
that's how I do my meal prep basically
7:10
and then over here my grocery list is
7:13
normally like weekly pretty narrow
7:15
because I do monthly grocery hauls if
7:17
you haven't seen any I'll leave a link
7:20
to the playlist down below with all our
7:22
grocery hauls and show you guys how I do
7:23
grocery hunts for the month but some
7:25
things like produce and dairy kind of is
7:28
the only thing I'll still shop for and
7:30
really Dairy because we don't do a lot
7:31
of dairy but I can get more salad I
7:35
think I have tomatoes but I will double
7:37
check I cannot wait till growing season
7:38
so I can stop buying Tomatoes we don't
7:41
have the shrimp but I really want some
7:43
and then vegetables for the roast as far
7:46
as household items we're low on things
7:49
like hand soap dish soap face wash and
7:52
then for a homeschool Noah's gonna need
7:55
arts and crafts buttons feathers and
7:58
paint as far as like the yard we'll need
8:01
some weed spray since spring is coming
8:03
around and the weeds are starting to
8:05
sprout up and then no one's gonna need
8:07
more baby wash so that's very much wrong
8:10
okay need to change that to like 40s for
8:13
things you'll need for the house so
8:16
there's that chore list plus other
8:18
things that I need to get done
8:19
throughout the week my goal outside of
8:22
choice is to write seven blog posts I
8:24
want to do about two per day if I have
8:26
to do two per day that will put me at 10
8:27
but I have to give myself some leeway
8:29
because I know it's not always possible
8:32
so I'm gonna for a goal of seven because
8:34
I'm kind of like in a Content stretch
8:36
right now then I need to do my content
8:38
batch plan to get ready to record and I
8:41
need to do a product inventory for my
8:43
beauty brand business and see what I
8:45
need to stock up on to a list of that
8:47
this week create a donation box of
8:49
clothes or furniture that we no longer
8:51
need for spring cleaning I want to work
8:54
on making Noah a Bible curriculum if I
8:57
cannot find someone and then I also have
8:59
to pre-wead the book for the mom
9:02
discussion that I have to attend on the
9:04
25th
9:05
still have been trying to reach out to
9:07
Orlando Florida's
9:10
laughing stroller bag that has some
9:12
things in there so I'm trying to get
9:13
that sent to us if possible
9:16
and then for chores uh Monday I know I
9:18
still have some laundry to do because
9:20
our dryer hat went out last week so got
9:23
behind in laundry and then I'm going to
9:25
start my workout routine back up since
9:27
vacation
9:28
and then as always I'll do the floor I
9:31
need to clean out our garage we're gonna
9:33
like I said come up with some things
9:35
that we're gonna donate including
9:36
Furniture wash towels Wednesday just
9:39
some light dusting and wash my laundry
9:42
I'll clean the bathrooms wash the
9:44
bathroom rugs and then Friday I'm gonna
9:47
like clean out the car shampoo the car
9:49
carpets as well as the house carpets and
9:52
then clean the blankets so that I can
9:54
put freshmen's out on Saturday on the
9:56
weekend I want to do some yard work
9:58
clean up the yard and sort through some
10:00
clothes that I want to donate
10:04
um so there's that
10:06
homeschool schedule so every day we do
10:09
our Bible story readings like devotions
10:11
for him in prayer so that'll be everyday
10:13
thing we are also going to be doing days
10:16
of the week and month of the year videos
10:18
every day he has to finish up his
10:21
getting the beautiful preschool
10:22
curriculum so he only has about two more
10:24
days left of that so Monday and Tuesday
10:26
will be working on curriculum I think
10:28
we're going to be working on W and X
10:30
Monday and then Y and Z Tuesday we're on
10:34
like the last maybe four lessons so
10:37
we'll probably do two lessons Monday and
10:39
two lessons Tuesday Wednesday he's going
10:41
to take the the final test for the
10:43
preschool curriculum we're not doing any
10:45
curriculum Thursday or Friday because
10:48
we'll start the new kindergarten
10:49
platform the following Monday and then
10:51
Friday we're gonna take a trip to the
10:53
library I'll spend some time prepping
10:55
for the new curriculum I do that and
10:57
then I kind of just combine it to this
10:59
so this is what I'm working on so I just
11:01
turned four last Tuesday on April the
11:04
11th so it's time for me to schedule his
11:06
is a four-year wellness exam so I need
11:10
to do that this planner has like some
11:12
recommended things that you can do like
11:14
dusting and things like that which I
11:16
think I said that I would be dusting on
11:18
Tuesday but I don't know we'll see it
11:19
also includes some Bible readings for
11:22
you to do if you are interested in that
11:25
you also do your meal planning over here
11:27
on the side and then here is just a
11:31
general layout still within this need to
11:33
fit in my blog hour because I plan to
11:36
write two Vlogs per day which is I'm
11:38
gonna need to wake up a little bit
11:39
earlier so that's pretty much it the
11:41
only thing I haven't done yet is the
11:43
budget book
11:44
what you need to do and then I need to
11:46
flip through newest new curriculum that
11:48
we're going to do the following week I
11:49
do want to look through this book here
11:52
so this is the Montessori Tyler activity
11:55
books just some games and activities to
11:57
do with your toddler if you can't think
11:59
of any you can always look on Pinterest
12:01
as well but like I did go through and
12:03
fold a few that I knew I had wanted to
12:05
do last Friday we planted some seeds so
12:10
if I find something in here that we want
12:12
to work on then out at the supplies to
12:16
my supply list just a few things I've
12:19
got to go through and figure out what I
12:21
want to do he actually did this this
12:22
threading beads activity in church this
12:25
morning he threaded some beads and Fruit
12:27
Loops made a fruit loop bracelet
12:30
just a bunch of different things so
12:33
enough of that I am gonna go and check
12:35
on the little one he was watching blippi
12:37
but then he asked me to get him like
12:39
dressed in his play clothes so I took
12:40
off his shirt clothes and put them on
12:42
his play clothes and I think he went
12:45
outside with his dad
12:47
but of course I need to just go check on
12:49
him because well I just have to even if
12:51
he's with his dad like I need to know
12:53
like at least know what he's doing I
12:55
feel like I should know what my kid is
12:56
doing odd times of the day he's still
12:58
going to house he's with his dad but I
13:00
need to like be knowing and aware of
13:02
what he's doing so I'm gonna go check on
13:04
him so yeah Noah was outside with his
13:07
dad riding his bicycle and they were
13:10
only like right in the back of the house
13:12
and I don't know why that gives me so
13:14
much anxiety sometimes he'll tell me
13:15
that he's leaving with his dad but
13:17
sometimes his dad will leave with him
13:18
but not tell me every single time to
13:20
like the store to grab food to grab ice
13:23
cream to ride the bicycle things like
13:25
that like he wouldn't tell me so like
13:27
look so right now I'm assuming they're
13:29
getting ready to go to the park because
13:30
he's putting his bicycle in the truck
13:32
obviously I appreciate that I appreciate
13:34
that my husband does things like that he
13:36
takes my son out just the two of them
13:38
sometimes and things like that which is
13:41
lovely for especially times like now
13:42
when I am working I get so much anxiety
13:45
when Noah leaves this house and I don't
13:49
know like I will go crazy and I start
13:51
calling my husband I can already know
13:53
that he's with my husband but because he
13:55
didn't tell me I feel like there's still
13:56
like a one percent chance that I don't
13:58
know where he is I don't know it drives
14:01
me crazy it's like a new mom anxiety
14:03
even though I have been a mom for four
14:05
years I still get anxiety when no it's
14:06
not even in the bed with me so since
14:08
he's turned four my husband wants me to
14:10
stop letting him like fall asleep in her
14:12
bed and letting him climb in our bed in
14:15
the middle of the night so often because
14:16
it's become like a thing sometimes
14:18
they'll fall asleep in her bed and I
14:19
will let him stay there all night or he
14:22
would move him to his bed after he falls
14:23
asleep in our bed and I'll be fine with
14:26
that and then sometimes he will fall
14:29
asleep in his bed or our bed and then
14:31
we'll put him in his bed and then like
14:33
in the middle of the night he'll wake up
14:35
and then come and get in our bed and
14:36
then he'll stay there but now my husband
14:39
wants me to get him into the routine of
14:41
just only falling asleep in his bed
14:42
whether it's bedtime nap time and then
14:45
staying there throughout the night and
14:47
if he comes to our bed putting him back
14:49
I know sometimes I'm still going to let
14:50
him climb into our bed in the middle of
14:52
the night because that's just a thing
14:53
that kids do and I want him to know that
14:55
if he's ever afraid
14:57
um and scared he can come to me and I'm
14:59
on is going to welcome him with warm
15:01
arms but I also want him to know that
15:03
he's a big boy he's confident he's Brave
15:06
and he's capable of you know being in
15:10
his room and knowing that even if he
15:12
can't see Mom and Dad and even though he
15:14
can't see God God and His angels are
15:17
always watching over him and mommy and
15:19
daddy will keep him safe even if we're
15:21
not like in the bed next to him we're
15:24
always praying for him and we're always
15:26
protecting him and keeping him safe so
15:28
he literally just started enforcing this
15:30
when he turned four on Tuesday today is
15:32
Sunday so
15:34
Susan Wednesday he slept with us I just
15:37
was not ready and we were doing some
15:38
work in the home so I didn't want him
15:40
like running through the hallway to get
15:42
to our room and stuff because my husband
15:44
redid the hallway floor but Thursday and
15:46
Friday and Saturday he slept in his room
15:49
Thursday night he came into our bed at
15:51
six in the morning and Friday night he
15:53
came into our bed at eight in the
15:55
morning we woke up at like nine so that
15:57
was like an hour so he did pretty good
15:59
that day the day before that we woke up
16:01
at 10 and he got in our bed at six so
16:04
that was four hours in our bed and then
16:06
last night he didn't come into our bed
16:08
at all and I saw him when he woke up on
16:10
the baby monitor and I looked at him but
16:13
he just went back to sleep in his bed so
16:15
that's that's great he's doing so good
16:17
and we didn't like force it on him like
16:20
we kind of eased him into it we never
16:22
did the cried out method some nights he
16:24
would ask to go on his bed on his own we
16:26
would let him and then some nights he
16:27
would want to get in our bed and we
16:28
would let him and so now we're easing
16:30
him until the transition one night I
16:32
racked him to sleep in the rocking chair
16:33
they laid him in his bed then another
16:36
night he laid in his bed and fell asleep
16:37
on his own while I sat in the rocking
16:39
chair one night I laid in his bed with
16:41
him until he fell asleep and then left
16:43
out of the room and so even though like
16:46
one night he came into our bed for four
16:48
hours the next night he came into our
16:50
bed for one hour and then the third
16:53
night he didn't climb his flatbed I
16:55
think it's all about him feeling
16:56
comfortable and secure but not feeling
16:58
forced like we're just putting him out
17:00
overnight you know that's been a new
17:02
thing so there's my my mom rant for the
17:05
Vlog for today there's always going to
17:08
be at least one
17:11
sorry I'm looking out the window because
17:12
my baby is leaving me like he's not
17:14
leaving me he's going to the park
17:17
um and I got laundry to do so
17:20
I'll do my laundry I'll do my laundry

18:47
[Music]
18:52
this is
18:54
okay so laundry is folded I still have
18:57
another load is in the dryer right now
18:59
once my colored which is mostly like my
19:02
t-shirts more pajamas and things like
19:04
that comes out of the dryer I'll shut
19:06
that up as well I put my husband's
19:08
laundry next to the door because those
19:10
are the clothes that I'm going to be
19:11
washing tomorrow Noah's laundry is done
19:13
and folded already so I won't be doing
19:15
his laundry again until Wednesday
19:18
everyone's laundry gets done every week
19:21
or like every seven days for instance if
19:22
I'm doing my husband's laundry on a
19:24
Monday I'll be doing it again the
19:26
following Monday and if I'm doing Noah's
19:28
laundry on Wednesday I'll be doing it
19:30
again the following Wednesday and then
19:32
in between on like a Tuesday or a
19:34
Thursday I will do the towels and the
19:37
rugs the blankets things like that so
19:40
that's how my laundry schedule is
19:42
a little bit of laundry every single day
19:45
so Monday close Tuesday towels Wednesday
19:48
clothes Thursday rugs Friday clothes
19:51
Saturday blankets throws curtains
19:54
anything like that that's pretty much
19:55
the gist of how I do my Sunday reset
19:57
clean clothes in the closet clean
19:59
blankets on the bed which I did switch
20:01
out our blankets yesterday doing my
20:03
organization my devotions going to
20:06
church the only thing left for me to do
20:08
now is clean up the kitchen which I'm
20:11
gonna do right before bed I clean
20:13
throughout the week and then sometimes
20:15
scheduling a deep cleaning on like a
20:17
Saturday but I stopped doing the
20:18
cleaning on Sundays because Sunday is
20:22
still meant to be like a rest day and
20:24
then my husband and I are gonna do like
20:25
a couples devotion we are kind of new to
20:27
sitting down at the table together and
20:29
doing the devotions and it's pretty like
20:31
intimate I know that on the Vlog I am
20:33
trying to be more like vulnerable but
20:35
then there are still personal things
20:37
like my marriage that I can share with
20:41
you guys but I still think some things
20:43
are intimate you know so once I'm more
20:46
comfortable sharing like after I've had
20:48
that come that conversation with my
20:49
husband and he's okay with this like
20:51
sharing like the couple's devotions that
20:53
we do maybe I'll do a sit down and Vlog
20:57
like one of our couples like devotional
20:59
sessions where we like do our Bible
21:00
study together and talk about our
21:02
marriage together and things like that
21:03
but for now it's still pretty intimate
21:05
and pretty new to us so that and some
21:09
lights hiding and dinner is what I have
21:11
scheduled for the rest of my Sunday
21:12
maybe on the next Sunday reset I will
21:15
get myself doing like my skincare
21:16
routine to share the book that I'm
21:19
reading right now I'm still reading the
21:21
will watered woman that I shared and one
21:24
of my past Vlogs I'm still reading that
21:26
but I have a few more chapters left so
21:28
I'll do a review on that book next
21:31
Sunday reset and talk more about our
21:34
couple's devotion but these Vlogs would
21:36
be super long if I just try to stop
21:38
every single on video so anywho
21:42
what I'm trying to say is that I'm gonna
21:44
end this Vlog here I have had a pretty
21:47
productive day it's been restful it's
21:49
been peaceful it's been beneficial and
21:52
so that's what I aim for on a good
21:54
Sunday reset type of day so comment
