0:53
it i know i got a lot of things to do but all of these things that i'm going to be doing are going to make life so
1:00
much easier for me the rest of the week we are doing some meal planning some sensory box and of course i'm going to
1:05
be doing a little bit of organizing and cleaning around the house so that i don't have to do like any deep cleaning
1:10
throughout the week i don't have to touch any breakfast or lunch throughout the week that is always lovely i can
1:16
barely figure out what the heck i'm going to wear for the day so trying to figure out everything else i really don't need that so the purpose of this
1:22
vlog is to make things easier for the rest of the week so if you're into making things easier and making life and

[Music]
1:53
first thing that i am making some coffee so while the coffee is growing i'm going to go ahead and show you guys really
1:58
quickly what i got from the store this time i spent about 265 on this grocery order and i didn't go too crazy because
2:05
we're only going to be here you sleepy yeah some time to take a nap when i down
2:11
okay oh i'm sticky
2:16
you poor thing are you sleepy you wanna lay your mommy's cover
2:28
okay so noah is still requesting baby strike like he has never cared for baby shark
2:33
except for the past two weeks and baby shark has been driving me absolutely insane i thought that we skipped the whole baby shark obsession that these
2:39
kids have but no he discovered baby shark and we have been here in baby shark for the past two weeks and i
2:44
cannot wait for him to watch something besides baby shark i kind of just let noah do his thing on
2:50
the weekends especially on saturdays because on sundays we get up and he has to go to church with us he does like sunday school on sundays and then
2:56
afterwards we take him out to like an indoor playground or like one of those trampoline jump places and kind of just
3:01
get him out somewhere after church that's kind of how we spend time like as a family and doing a few things that
3:07
we'll all enjoy together so sunday that's like our family day we do church and then we do like a little outing but
3:13
throughout the week we have our home school every single day and noah does absolutely exceptional in home school
3:18
you guys we go anywhere from like two to four hours just without any breaks and he does absolutely amazing and then
3:24
after that he plays with his puzzles he gets in some pretend play and so on the weekends or specifically on saturdays i
3:30
kind of just let him do this thing if he wants to watch his television shows he watches his television shows and that kind of just works let me show you guys
3:36
what i've got i got a lot of stuff here so i'm gonna try to go really really quickly more ketchup
3:42
because we ran out and we just go with the heinz brand can you never go wrong with that one both this prank goes
3:47
farmer's market roasted garlic spaghetti sauce with the spaghetti sauce that i got from audi's last time i hated it so
3:53
we're not going back to whatever brand that was i think it was like priano we're not doing piano anymore but i did get some pregos farmers market roasted
3:59
garlic and then i also got the original pregos italian sausage and garlic because again i love spaghetti so
4:05
spaghetti noodles here and then i wanted to try the whole grain one because it has more fiber in it and my doctor said
4:10
i need a little more fiber in my diet and then i went with just the regular spaghetti pasta i gotta know some 100
4:17
apple juice that has no sugar added and then i got cj some more flour tortillas
4:22
for taco night and he also likes like these flavored taco shells so that's
4:27
where we have our taco tuesday and we're going to be going to spend the night with my mom and my sister on saturday
4:34
before our trip so that she can take us to the airport because we've got to be there right around like 5 30 in the morning so instead of like waking her up
4:41
at three in the morning so that she could drive 45 minutes to come pick us up and then another hour to get us to the airport we thought it would be fun
4:46
to just kind of go to her house make a sleepover leave our car parked there and i made gumbo in one of the last videos
4:51
but this is like my family's like one of their favorite meals that i make cj loves when i make gumball and my mom she's like please make gumbo so i'm
4:58
gonna make gumbo for my mom and my sister when we get there so i got like a huge thing guys like smoked sausages
5:04
noah loves corn on the cob and unfortunately our corn in the garden is not ready for harvest yet so i had to buy him some more corn on the cob and
5:09
then these are yam patties they're like sweet potatoes that's chopped up into small little patties and then we kind of
5:15
just season these with a little bit of cinnamon and those are great for meal prepping because they're already chopped up and
5:21
to be honest i prefer to chop them up myself but this is what we got so you know how to make it quick here i got some chicken breast tenderloins for the
5:27
gumbo and then i got some regular chicken breasts so that i can meal prep these cj loves when i make these and i
5:32
just make a bed of rice and vegetables and you can put one chicken breast in each you know container with some rice and some um vegetables for chicken wings
5:39
because i always buy chicken wings i love to just throw these in the oven and grill them and then here for the bread
5:45
i've just got this variety of banana and blueberry muffins from the bakery i don't always eat breakfast in the morning but if i just like have a cup of
5:51
coffee and just grab one of these then i'm at least you know eating something and it's quick and easy i don't know i'm just not a breakfast person like if you
5:58
like that too then let me know because i don't want to feel like i'm alone here so i didn't order these breads so i'm a bit bummed they gave me this country
6:05
buttermilk bread but that's what happens when you don't get up and go to the store by yourself and you choose to be lazy i did not want to get noah up and
6:11
out of the bed this morning i wanted my groceries to be here when i woke up today but i didn't want to pull him out of the bed to go get it so
6:17
this is what i've got instead of the potato bread i like the potato bread so much better and then they gave me this honey wheat bread which i also didn't
6:24
want i actually ordered the hawaiian sliced um hawaiian bread you guys ever had like the hawaiian rose i love those
6:30
so much they're so addictive but they also have it like sliced like this where you can kind of just have it as like
6:35
toast thank you you're welcome more bagels another quick breakfast
6:42
option i got more kodiak bear bites i showed you guys in my last grocery haul but they were actually pretty good it's
6:48
100 whole grains and i love like it has like calcium iron potassium vitamin d five grams of protein it's really good i
6:54
got one of those it's kind of like a healthier version of like teddy grams and then this that i'm opening right now
7:00
i got these so what i'm about to put away he came downstairs and was like wow so that is when i knew he um
7:07
i got this next to put in his bag when we go to the airport these are what i got the super mario thundables because i thought that he would enjoy these i
7:13
think you'll enjoy them when we're on the plane and i think you'll enjoy them while we're waiting i got myself more coffee cookies these taste so good make
7:19
yourself a coffee and get that minute i've got some caramel dip it's like six of them in a pack but i just chop up
7:25
know some apples and then you can dip them in here that's really good for some grab-and-go lunches more jasmine rice
7:30
spread the gumbo and just to have in the house i need to restock the pantry i got more smokers on crustals because i just
7:36
discovered last week that noah loves these uncrustables so i gotta have those
7:41
more almond milk which i'm gonna put that one down in the deep freezer because we already have some upstairs i've got some red seedless grapes
7:47
because it's like a perfect little snack you guys i literally have four bananas because we're again we're leaving this
7:54
week so i only have four bananas to like last us just a couple of days we don't eat
7:59
bananas every single day but these four will last us through the weekend if i would have gotten more than that then it just would have gone to waste i got no
8:05
stony field organics chocolate milk because they come inside this little package it has 8
8:11
grams of protein and i really like this one he really likes this one and it's so easy to just grab and go which again i'm
8:18
going to be putting these inside of his bag to take with us on the plane more chocolate almond milk i've got myself
8:24
some more lavender chamomile herbal tea i love this one and then i've got some gum for the airplane i got three day
8:29
cinnamon and i got me bubble breeze you know the safety chew bubble gum or gum when you're in an airplane how does it
8:35
stop your ears from popping in the airplane so i always get gum my mother told me that when i flew when i was a
8:40
kid and i still do it to this day so i got biscuits but you guys are going to see what i do with these biscuits i'm using them to meal prep and then i've
8:46
got cinnamon rolls because we have those for breakfast more cream cheese because the last one we had when that was
8:52
probably now i've got some peppers to go with the gumbo i'm taking that stuff to my mom i got a very small bag of
8:58
broccoli i'm gonna put some broccoli in the garden next spring but for now we're still buying broccoli which i cannot
9:03
wait to grow my own because this broccoli goes back so quickly romaine lettuce which i just chopped and then i
9:09
cleanse it i'm gonna put some lettuce in the garden too so do not judge me you know um i'm getting there i'm just
9:15
not there yet but i got some romaine lettuce because i love to use it for when i make sandwiches
9:20
celery for the gumbo carrots to meal prep i got noah like a stack of these
9:25
vegetables because i don't know lately noah will eat like a full meal and then a little bit later be
9:31
like i'm so hungry i don't know if he's really hungry but these work this is kind of like a
9:37
snack for him it's not i don't use this as a meal i don't recommend you give this to your child it's like a breakfast
9:43
or a lunch or a dinner meal but in between those three meals you also should give your kid like snacks so this
9:49
is a really good snack it will look like the apple slices with the dip i got myself some more kendra's wood fire
9:55
garlic seasoning because i love this season on literally everything i love this seasoning these are my snacks i got
10:01
some more pop corners the kettle corn flavor and then i've got some white cheddar and sour cream simply ruffles i
10:06
didn't get this when i got the baked one but this is what they substituted for green pepper for the gumbo some
10:12
imitation crabby lights like i like to make like a really quick tuna pasta salad and then i just put these in there
10:18
as well i told you guys about this in my last grocery hub it's like these little smoky breakfast sausages in their turkey
10:24
and you know i love those we go through eggs in this house like faster than ever i do not know why but we do
10:30
i wanted to try out gogurt because i tried giving noah gogurt when he was younger and he didn't quite care for it
10:35
but i want to try it again and see if he likes it so that it's gonna be another like quick thing that he can have as a snack or something quick that i can kind
10:41
of like take to my mom's house um that he can kind of have like before we get on the airplane yellow potatoes i love
10:47
your vanilla for literally everything potatoes goes well with almost everything because you can mash potatoes
10:52
you can make potato lettuce you can make french fries you can dice them for breakfast you can do anything with potatoes so always at the yellow
10:58
potatoes um and then i've got myself some boosts i love these it's like 360 calories and 14 grams of protein and
11:05
then 26 vitamins and minerals you've got your calories your protein your vitamins and minerals and it works especially like when i'm trying to keep up with my
11:11
diet when i'm like oh my fitness regimen those are all the groceries that i've got so now i'm about to go ahead and curl myself a cup of coffee with a shot
11:18
of espresso put these groceries away and go ahead and get started with the meal prep [Music]
12:29
[Applause] [Music]
13:06
um
13:22
so [Applause] [Music]
13:28
[Applause] [Music] [Applause]
13:33
[Music]
14:01
[Music]
14:43
you [Music]
15:35
spinach and cheese egg frittatas 100 to grain kodiak cakes and buttermilk
15:42
pancakes home style egg and cheddar breakfast biscuits four portions of
15:48
salmon on a bed of rice a bed of veggies to go on the side of
15:54
the salmon or to just half throughout the week with anything that we prepare and i've got some tuna pasta salad
16:03
so here i've got a mixture of vegetables starch protein
16:09
whole grain fiber dairy all of it so we've got a few options here through the week that we
16:16
can kind of just pick from in the best part is i'm out of the kitchen until dinner time for the rest of the week
16:22
noah has always liked pasta and things like finger foods that he can pick up and grab
16:28
so this pasta salad is good for him to be able to enjoy because it's like pasta
16:33
pasta in it but it also has like the protein in it so i think you'll like that because of like the tuna and the eggs having the
16:39
protein that he needed i'll be completely fine with them just eating the pasta and then like pancakes the same as well the kodiak brand has
16:45
protein in it it's like small enough where he doesn't need like a fork to be able to eat his pancakes like you want
16:50
to eat this and grab it and go for breakfast i'm completely okay with that same thing with like the spinach and egg
16:56
frittatas because it's not like scrambled eggs but he needs to use like a fork to try and pick them up he can kind of just pick it up and it's firm
17:02
enough that he can just bite him to it and it's not gonna fall apart and then cj he's not a fan of like tuna so for
17:08
him for lunch he's just going to be enjoying that four portions of salmon and rice that i made for him you can
17:14
also enjoy those egg and cheese um breakfast biscuits for breakfast throughout the week or he can doing well
17:20
with the pancakes i'll probably be you know switching back and forth between the biscuits and the pancakes and then i'll probably just have like a bagel or
17:26
a muffin or something like that but i feel like this is good for everybody like for the week i don't have to touch
17:31
breakfast or lunch any more like that is one thing that i don't have to worry about once i clean up my house after dinner at night i don't have to mess it
17:38
up again until like dinner time again so that's like the best part about that and then i was able to like pre-prep
17:44
broccoli and carrots that will kind of just go with whatever noah enjoys for lunch he can have like the pastas if he
17:51
wants to but if he doesn't he's probably gonna just profess that make him like a sandwich or some chicken strips or chicken nuggets or something like that
17:57
and those are something that you just can pop in the oven quickly pop in the microwave quickly i gotta get some bonito boxes i'm gonna try to order
18:03
stuff from amazon today where i can be able to put like his sandwich on one side his fruit on one side and his snack
18:09
on my side i am gonna wrap up this tuna salad and put it in the fridge and then i am going to pull out everything and
18:16
get them like inside like a fridge safe container i'm not even gonna even tell you how awful
18:22
my kitchen looks it looks awful [Music]
18:42
this is the current state of the family room what are you playing with stinky
18:48
[Music] tape did you get that off your water
18:53
okay well your house is a mess it is because your kid has been you know playing for
19:00
you know the past hour so i think that is completely okay they're keeping busy they're playing so that is completely
19:07
okay and like it doesn't take anything for me to just toss them back in here so having this in here is like super
19:14
convenient because like all i do is just go through and toss all of these toys
19:20
right back in the basket takes me about a minute to do it and
19:26
like he's playing you know so that's completely okay he was laying over here pretending he was going to take a nap
19:32
but he didn't take a nap and that's the water that he took that little wrapper off of
19:38
which he is saying is tape now but whatever is that buddy
19:44
this is our even flow we pulled the stroller out we haven't put noah in the stroller in
19:50
a while like it's definitely been at least a year and a half like probably longer so we only just pulled it out so
19:57
that we can take it with us on the trip to the disney parks so this is the same
20:02
stroller that my grandmother purchased as a set with the car seat and the set
20:08
was like 400 and we've had this since i was pregnant with noah and it is holding up i love
20:15
this stroller so if you're looking for a stroller i definitely recommend this evenflo
20:22
stroller because like you can lay it flat it has like a pretty low canopy
20:27
that like covers his head it also comes with like a little thing that you kind of like snap
20:33
across here to cover up like his legs and you can lay this thing
20:39
flat back so that like he can take a nap he still fits in and now that he's three and we had it since he was a baby so
20:46
we're gonna take this one with us to florida and it's got like a nice amount of space down there we could probably
20:51
fit like two backpacks standing up in there we could even fit like one backpack in like a
20:57
tiny cooler so we're gonna take this one with us
21:07
every time i come out there are more sunflowers out here i love it they're so pretty to me look how big
21:14
they've gotten and how tall they are like sunflowers are taller than me see
21:22
see the bees i'm really hoping that this thing will
21:27
grow like i'm really just waiting on it seeing if it's gonna
21:32
grow i'm gonna move it here so i can get a little more sun i kind of just come out here
21:38
like often throughout the day to try and get some fresh air and just see what the weather is like and see
21:45
what's new see what's growing and see what work i need to do out here i
21:50
placed a pickup order at home depot to go and get noah some more sand i used to
21:56
make his sensory boxes and like the little small bands that are probably about like this wide and only like about
22:03
this tall i wanted to get one that's a little bit bigger so that he can kind of like drive his trucks through it because
22:09
that's what he likes doing the most so i ordered another 50 pound of play sand from home depot and it only cost four
22:15
dollars and 27 cents so once i get the notification telling me that that's ready to pick up i'm gonna go pick that
22:21
up and to be honest like i'm kind of tired and there's a lot of things like that i gotta get done so if i can like avoid like having to go and take noah
22:28
inside the store to pick up that sand like that's a lot more to me productive because i can fold up
22:35
my laundry and like prepare dinner and work out while i'm just waiting for that
22:40
notification and once it's ready we can just get in the car it's five minutes away and then they'll kind of put it in the trunk for me so i am in noah's room
22:47
and i'm gonna go ahead and fold up you're in no one's room too yeah say we're in noah's room
22:54
yeah we're in noah's room so we're gonna phone up his laundry and once i'm done folding up noah's clothes then i can
23:01
head into my room and phone up like mine and cj's clothes but i figured like while i'm
23:07
voting they can kind of like chat a little bit because i didn't do like an actual like formal
23:12
introduction video when i started my blog so i thought like this might be like a really nice time to you know try
23:18
to like get to know me a little bit more um i want to say like the most important thing to me on this vlog journey
23:25
is kind of just being like a little unfiltered or not necessarily unfiltered but like realistic i think it's
23:32
important that even when i'm feeling like those informative videos like sharing like all of my tips and
23:37
strategies that i kind of just want to share with other moms and parents because you know we've all you know got
23:44
our own like tips and strategies and have found what's worked for us so you never know when like something that has
23:49
worked for you might work for someone else as well so i think that we can learn a lot from each
23:55
other but within all of that i also think it's really important that we kind of just
24:00
share like those things where where we don't necessarily have any like tips to give or any motivation to give but more
24:08
so just showing like what a real date in the life looks like with like sometimes
24:14
all of like the stress and sometimes like the unpredictability of it and even those days we're kind of like
24:19
we're having a hard time so my goal with this vlog is to not only
24:26
just share like whatever type of like information that i found that has helped me through motherhood but to also kind
24:32
of just like share relatable content i had noah when i was i believe 25 years old i got pregnant with him when i was
24:38
24 and then i saw him when i was 25 and i know other moms my age and i knew
24:45
other moms my age before i had noah but even still i struggled to find
24:51
moms that i can relate to because like we're all different and we're all parents in different ways but
24:57
what i really love about the youtube space is that like there are so many different types of
25:02
vloggers and different type of mom vlogs out there that
25:08
you can kind of find one that you relate to and whenever you feel like you can't necessarily relate to someone or
25:13
whenever you feel like someone doesn't quite get you it can kind of feel lonely and i don't think motherhood was meant
25:20
to be or feel lonely so you know i think that it's kind of important sometimes to
25:25
find that person that you can kind of relate to the person who like understands you that goes through the same struggle and like even like the
25:33
highs you know the good things that are happening and the things that we love about motherhood
25:39
you know like you ever had a conversation with like another person who's not a mom and like all of the
25:45
things that you find interesting and all the things that you want to talk about like they don't care to hear about it or
25:51
even talk about it because that's just not you know their season at the moment so to be you know able to find other
25:57
people that you can relate to even if it is like online with the youtube space i think that it's you know a good thing i
26:04
think that that's one thing that i absolutely love about youtube is that you can kind of just connect with other people who you kind of can relate to and
26:11
have things in common with and just like share like the good things share the bad
26:16
things um share like any type of tips and information that you have to give because i feel like we all have
26:21
something that we can give so why keep it to ourselves you know it may be able to help somebody else and every video
26:28
that you know i make may not be for you or for the next person but maybe it
26:33
might be for someone right so if you can share it you know if it may help
26:39
somebody why not so that's kind of why i started this vlog to kind of just like share my journey through motherhood
26:45
because that is who i did i never really thought about what motherhood would be like before i had
26:50
noah like i didn't plan it out and like it just kind of wasn't on my mind because it kind of just happened um
26:57
obviously you know we we wanted to have children we just didn't like necessarily planning
27:02
so um i still love the timing like i'm glad that we had no we did
27:07
but after we had him i kind of kept trying to remember what it felt like
27:13
before i kept like looking for the me that i was before i had him like i kept trying
27:19
to get back to that person and whenever i didn't feel like that person i would kind of get down into like this bad and
27:26
sad move because i felt like i couldn't recognize myself anymore i couldn't recognize my body like i couldn't do the same things that
27:33
i used to do and so i kept for the longest looking for that person that i was before i had him but it wasn't until
27:40
like i realized like it's not that i'm another person but life is just gonna look
27:46
different now but it's just about finding grace in the current season that you are in
27:53
be the person who you are at that moment don't try to be somebody else don't try to be the old you don't try to be like
27:58
another mom that you know or see just be yourself and do what you can and you know find what works for you find what
28:05
makes you happy and so once i like accepted like that it's not like an old me it's not like a new me it's like i'm
28:10
just me and whatever season i'm in and whatever my current situation is like
28:15
i'm just me like there's no such thing as like the old me the new me the future me it's like i'm just me so
28:22
just be yourself like stop searching for a certain type of you always have a goal have
28:30
something to strive towards you know and you can always do something to you know improve you know yourself but
28:37
to kind of just like say like okay i'm gonna try to be a different person it's
28:42
like what is a different person besides just being yourself so i had to kind of just accept who i was
28:48
when i was so if that's you like if you're a new mom or like if you've even been a mom for a
28:55
while you're like struggling to find yourself and struggling to accept like who you are then i just want you to kind
29:01
of just try to just be yourself like don't search for anything not the old you not
29:07
the new you like not another one just be yourself and just love who you
29:12
are you know i want to try to like share whatever type of motivation that i can that i have to give when i have to give
29:17
it you know share like some relatable content that people can maybe relate to
29:23
because there have been times where i couldn't find anybody like aside from that like aside from
29:28
motherhood and being a wife so run a business i have an online store for the
29:33
sell apparent skincare products and so that's something that i do [Music]
29:38
in my spare time to kind of generate more income from my family i recently graduated from college like i have a lot
29:45
of different things i have insight on like how to start and run your own business if you're into e-commerce i
29:51
have some insight on like going to school and graduating um like in the legal field
29:56
and then i just have like insight on like just and like being a wife so i definitely don't know
30:03
everything like i don't have it all together but what i do know and what i can't share i think it's important that
30:08
i do and i hope that you know one day he can when he has his own children look back at these videos and kind of like
30:14
get a little inside or kind of just enjoy watching some family videos and things like that if you're watching this video and you talk like
30:21
any like questions for me please leave them down below if you have like any comments or any like feedback or like
30:28
any type of content that you would prefer that i make um please share that
30:33
below i'm probably going to be doing like a lot of tips and motivational strategy videos and some homeschool
30:40
videos and day in the life it's probably what i'm mostly going to be doing alongside like just anything like
30:45
homemaking related such as like cleaning and cooking and gardening and like making things i'm 28 years old and cj is
30:52
29 years old and we've been married for six years we've been together for 11 years we were together for five years
30:59
before we got married and then we had noah about two to three years after we've got married so we've been married
31:04
for six years together for 11 years we are high school sweethearts and for people who say like they don't last like
31:11
i completely disagree i know people who have american high school sweetheart and have been together for 50 years or so
31:16
and i don't want to be like the exception i love it here obviously you know we have our ups and downs but i
31:24
think it really doesn't matter because sometimes you're not going to be able to give 100 sometimes a marriage is not always going to be 50 50. sometimes your
31:30
marriage is going to be like 70 30 90 10 50 50 and sometimes you're both going to
31:35
be putting your best foot forward and giving it 100 all you've got and so like what i can say is that our highs are
31:42
much better than our lows and our lows are never to the point where we can't recover from them and we can't learn from them so that's the most important
31:49
part is that whenever you have a disagreement because we're not the exact same person we're not going to agree on everything as long as you can
31:55
communicate in a healthy way and learn from it then i think you know that that's good enough so
32:01
[Music] i have completed no it's laundry and i'm so happy because
32:06
while i was holding up the sunday i was just kind of talking to you guys so it kind of just went by quickly and i didn't have to like
32:12
you ready i'm gonna go ahead and put these away but i want to show you guys this blanket that i got made from etsy
32:18
yeah yeah you gonna save the day
32:24
you saved them good job this is a blanket that i got made for no it's a queen size blanket i think it
32:31
cost it somewhere between 80 and a hundred dollars but it has like this noah's ark theme where it has like two
32:38
of like all the animals on the boat and then it has like the rainbow the clouds
32:44
and then it has his name at the top got this from etsy so check and see if you need anything like custom-made etsy is
32:51
always the place for that so it's like six o'clock now i folded up all of cj's laundry so i'm gonna go ahead and
32:57
prepare dinner because noah's gonna be getting sleepy very soon um right now
33:02
he's playing on the floor like always but i have to get dinner done the faster
33:09
i can get dinner done the faster i can end my day and i still want to do like at least a 30 to 45 minute workout so
33:14
the plan is to prepare dinner yes we are having spaghetti because like that is my jam now like i think that is what's
33:21
really a thing at the moment it's literally a thing that i kind of just do when cj's gone working all day i cooked
33:27
a lot like this morning like for the meal prepping and stuff so i don't really want to make like any big meals i
33:33
don't want to make any more messes like when you meal prep there is a lot of mess i want to make any more
33:39
messes that i have to clean up so i'm about to use these two pots and make the spaghetti
33:44
i'm going to use this whole grain spaghetti pasta and see if i like it i
33:50
think that i'm going to like this better so we shall see and i have some mild ground italian sausage so i'm going to
33:56
go ahead and prepare this dinner really quickly and then once we're done hopefully i have a message from home
34:01
depot telling me that the sand is ready to be picked up because i would rather pick that up before i work out because
34:06
after i work out i'm pretty sure i'm going to be ready to like shower and shield down
34:11
[Music]
34:25
um [Laughter]
34:30
[Music]
35:13
[Music]
35:34
um [Laughter]
35:39
[Music]
36:22
[Music]
37:02
[Music]
37:15
so um it's like seven o'clock now the spaghetti took me all of about 20 minutes to cook and so i finished that
37:22
um near 6 30 and then we went downstairs and then we did like a 30 minute workout and fitting what we could until seven
37:27
o'clock now we have to go run to home depot and pick up the sand it's five minutes away hopefully we can get back
37:34
here and be showered and baked before 8 o'clock so that by 8 o'clock we can eat dinner and then noah will be getting
37:40
ready for bed at that time and then i can go ahead and watch the season premiere of handmade tail drinking some
37:46
wine and falling up to laundry but first i've got to make my protein shake that i make every time i finish up a workout
37:53
just to kind of help build up that muscle and make sure that i'm getting some healthy carbs inside of me because
37:58
i didn't eat lunch today so i'm going to go ahead and prepare that really quickly i'll show you guys what that looks like
38:03
chocolate vegan naked mask gainer so this naked mask gainer is a vegan it's
38:10
dairy free and it has 50 grams of protein per shake and 1 280 calories
38:18
so in order for me to gain any muscle i have to make sure that i'm keeping up with like my weight in a good way so
38:25
this is kind of how i do it when i'm skipping out on meals which i do often i think in order for me to kind of just
38:30
maintain my weight i'm pretty sure i have to take it over 2000 calories per day and i don't even know how much protein probably half of my weight i
38:37
don't even know i'm gonna double check that but i know that i'm not getting in enough so early i mentioned like that i'll drink like the boost drinks and
38:43
then after my workout i'm taking this so this is going to be a lot for me almost 1300 calories but i'm still not at the
38:50
2000 so after i drink my shake and we leave and we get showered and faith then we'll just have
38:55
dinner and then that should with you know breakfast and like the coffee that i had puts me right at where
39:01
i should be at to maintain my weight and i have the protein that i need to sustain my workout so i just take four
39:07
scoops of the vegan mass gainer and then i do like 32 ounces of vanilla almond milk blended together and i just drink
39:14
on that so i'm gonna take it with me to home depot
39:20
[Music]
39:31
help me
39:45
[Music]
39:51
[Music] we picked up the sand and that went well
39:57
i asked noah to fill this container up with whatever toys he wanted to put inside of his sandbox so all he has is
40:04
like some digging trucks and excavators some construction trucks and then dinosaurs because that's what he's into
40:09
now and he also has like this little like building set so basically like he
40:14
can build his construction truck it comes with like a little screwdriver and it has like the
40:20
screws that he used to kind of build his own construction trucks so that should be fun for him and this will
40:26
keep him busy you can actually use this container which is just a dollar at the dollar store we have used this in the
40:32
past and it's worked just fine but now we're going to be using this one that we have already had it in
40:39
our house and it was only 15 i'm pretty sure i got this one from a dollar store near our old house um but they have
40:44
these i like walmart target home depot this one has wheels on it so i'm pretty sure that's why i was more on the 15
40:50
range but like i said you can probably find one for on average like seven to ten dollars this is the play stand that we picked up
40:56
for four dollars and twenty seven cents and it's place in it's not like the kinetic sand the kinetic sand um kind of
41:02
sticks together more this one can get a lot more messy um it's different in texture like this is natural sand that
41:08
you would fill up like a sandbox outdoor so he can actually take this and play with this outside on the patio so that
41:14
it's less of a mess but i kind of just let him play with this like either on the heart or i can sweep it and even
41:19
sometimes a little carpet like on top of the table top but i don't mind cleaning it up especially because this keeps him
41:24
busy for like an hour or more and as long as i'm supervising him and he's completely fine so we're just gonna
41:30
literally just fill up the and let container put his construction vehicles in his dinosaur in there and
41:36
play with it [Music]
41:56
hmm [Music]
