invite you to subscribe to my channel
0:35

0:36
you here I post once or twice per week
0:39
but for today we are going to be
0:40
spending a little bit of time together
0:41
we just got back home yesterday um so I
0:44
decided to film a day after vacation
0:46
Vlog for you guys showing you guys what
0:48
it looks like settling back into the
0:50
home and just getting back to some
0:51
normaly as you can see I have like some
0:54
severe allergy issues going on I am like
0:57
severely severely allergic two cats and
1:01
dogs especially a dog and on our flight
1:03
home yesterday the row across from us
1:05
they had like a dog on the plane and we
1:08
had like a delay on that plane it took
1:10
us like an extra hour and a half before
1:12
we could even like take off I was
1:14
wishing so bad that they wouldn't have
1:16
bored at us you know like if we were
1:18
going to be delayed 2 hours because that
1:20
was 2 hours that I was like sitting
1:21
across from a dog and then there were
1:23
like people like sneezing and coughing
1:25
um we were not moving and then of course
1:28
there was the actual flight which was
1:30
like an hour and a half so my nose is
1:33
red my allergies are absolutely insane
1:36
I've taken some allergy medicine um
1:39
there's not a whole lot that I can do
1:40
also because I have also six almost
1:43
seven months pregnant so it's definitely
1:45
been struggle town for me um but
1:48
nevertheless there are things that need
1:50
to be done another thing I feel like I'm
1:52
starting this Vlog off all
1:55
bad but this is reality this is just
1:58
like real life it's a little bit more
1:59
diff for me to adjust to being back home
2:02
just because when we got back our
2:03
furnace was not working right now it's
2:05
57° so it's pretty cold outside and so
2:09
it's kind of cold in our house too we
2:11
have about 69° inside I believe but it's
2:15
just still so cold so that mix with the
2:18
allergies it's hard for me to adjust
2:20
coming back from like beautiful warm
2:22
weather and that's just me being honest
2:24
that's okay I'm working on it here um I
2:27
have my coffee and I am doing some
2:30
cleaning today I have to cook dinner I
2:32
have to do some laundry some unpacking
2:34
and I'm also going to make a little bit
2:36
of brunch as well I did not buy
2:38
groceries before we left because I
2:40
didn't want anything to go bad in the
2:42
fridge so I'll show you guys what I have
2:44
here um I just ordered like a few things
2:46
just to be able to make some lunch for
2:49

2:51
I'll show you guys just what I ordered
2:53

2:55
jasmine rice I'm going to make some
2:57
steak rice and vegetables today with
2:59
some gravy kind of like a beef stir fry
3:02
sort of I'm going to like cut the steak
3:04
up into slices and add peppers and
3:08
vegetables to it the gravy maybe a
3:10
little bit of soy sauce maybe not
3:12
because of the sodium um and then just
3:15

7:25
[Music]
7:38
I
7:42
[Music]
7:59
[Music]
8:06
I have for the most part gotten all be
8:08
unpacking done both of the suitcases are
8:10
empty except for like packing cubes and
8:12
anything that we only take to Disney
8:14
these are like toys that no one got from
8:17
Disney World so he has a large bag there
8:20
and like basically these are just some
8:21
of the toys that he got from Disney
8:22
World as well as that little packing
8:26
Cube there and this stuff needs to be
8:28
sanitized while washed and cleaned so
8:30
they're going to stay there until I
8:32
clean them um and then these are some
8:34
leftover laundry sheets that we didn't
8:36
use I'm going to leave the suitcases
8:38
here so that I can actually clean the
8:40
outside of the suitcases I disinfected
8:42
the chairs that I have the suitcases on
8:45
cuz those wheels are disgusting and then
8:47
I had like a bag of laundry upstairs
8:49
that I still needed to do so I added any
8:51
laundry from the trip we had a little
8:53
bit of clothes left over from before the
8:55
trip just like the clothes that we wore
8:56
the day before travel day and then we
8:58
had some travel day clothes that we came
9:00
home in yesterday so I added that to the
9:02
laundry as well as like the pajamas from
9:05
the day before we left Florida so I have
9:07
like a little bit of laundry to do so I
9:10
am doing that laundry now before that
9:13
this morning I also threw all of our
9:14
shoes in the wash all of our sneakers or
9:17
sandals the shoes that we wore during
9:19
the trip all of those I washed them too
9:21
they were like walking through the
9:23
airport on the airplanes through the
9:26
parks um on like the shuttles and things
9:29
like that and those are clean they're
9:31
air drying now and I just put the load
9:33
of laundry in so now it's 2:00 and I
9:36
need to go get the dog so I'm going to
9:38
go pick him up he's about 20 to 25
9:41
minutes away from me um and you guys I
9:44
look and feel so bad my allergies will
9:47
not let up I know you can see like how
9:48
tired my eyes are because my whole head
9:50
is stuffy like I can't stop sneezing
9:53
causing like a headache up here so I'm
9:55
thinking that I am gonna go pick up the
9:58
dog and then pick up some allergy
10:01
medicine I like to take it before I go
10:04
to sleep at night as opposed to in the
10:05
morning because I know that it makes me
10:06
drowsy but the one that I took last
10:08
night is not working so I'm going to get
10:11
another one and hopefully I can be back
10:13
home by 3:00 in which I am just going to
10:16
spend between 3 and 5:00 napping because
10:19
I know that the allergy meds are going
10:21
to make me drowzy I know you guys are
10:22
thinking like why on Earth does she have
10:24
a dog if she's allergic so like there
10:26
are things that I do to be able to to
10:29
have our dog so before I was pregnant I
10:32
got allergy shots which is immunotherapy
10:34
but I had to stop them while being
10:37
pregnant we still bathe our dog every
10:40
single week we have air filters and
10:42
purifiers all through the home
10:44
humidifiers um we also have like a d
10:47
shedding things unless I'm bathing him
10:50
we can kind of keep them at Bay and then
10:52
after I have the baby summer I'll get
10:54
back on my immunotherapy but when I'm
10:56
around like a new animal and if the anim
10:59
isn't like as properly maintained as we
11:02
maintain ours my allergies go Haywire
11:06
cuz it's a brand new animal that I have
11:08
not gotten used to and it's just a lot
11:10
of little things that goes into it like
11:13
if the dog hasn't been bathed recently
11:16
we sheded and there's no type of
11:18
filtration which on an airplane 4 hours
11:21
there is nothing to filter out you know
11:24
all the allergens within that tight
11:26
aircraft then there's like the air vent
11:29
and everything blowing around so I think
11:32
it just really um it made it difficult
11:36
for me to be able to like overcome it
11:38
and so I'm trying you guys I really am I
11:40
wanted to you know do a lot more
11:42
vlogging but you guys I'm just going to
11:44
take a little nap just going to be like
11:45
a 2our nap once I get up I'm going to
11:47
prepare dinner so I'll take you guys
11:49
along and show you how I am going to be
11:51
doing that this is a very realistic
11:53
after travel day Vlog all of the Vlogs
11:56
are not going to be super go go go go go
11:58
super super productive and you know some
12:01
of them are just going to be like this
12:02
like struggle town so yes this is their
12:04
struggle day in the life but we are
12:07
going to get through it so I'm going to
12:08
get the dog and we'll go from there this
12:11
is Noah's room he's been watching number
12:13
blocks and just playing with his number
12:14
blocks toys for like 3 hours he loves
12:17
number blocks and as you can see they're
12:20
everywhere but at least he kept busy
12:22
while I was napping after picking up
12:25
Bailey and taking a well- needed 2hour
12:28
nap I also took some allergy medicine I
12:32
feel a lot better not completely better
12:35
but I do feel better enough to be able
12:37
to like function now before I felt like
12:39
I was barely functioning so I'm going to
12:42
get ready and to cook some dinner um my
12:44
husband he actually is under the weather
12:46
like he hasn't been feeling good since a
12:50
day or two before we left um Florida so
12:53
he like um been laying in the family
12:55
room resting like the kitchen is off of
12:57
the family room and I wanted to let him
12:59
get that rest because it's always hard
13:00
for me to get him to rest he's always
13:02
like trying to work or do things around
13:06
the house and it's like he never rests
13:08
so I really wanted him to get that rest
13:10
I didn't want disturb him so now I'm
13:12
going to still try and cook dinner he is
13:14
still resting um I'm just not going to
13:16
talk much and I'm going to try to be
13:18
quiet it might not work but I'll try
13:22
though so let's go get some dinner going
13:24
a little Disney update while I fold some
13:28
towels we did look got a few different
13:30
apartments in the Davenport area that
13:33
was still pretty close to Orlando and we
13:35
did I think decide on an apartment but
13:39
we did not apply yet because baby is due
13:43
in July this summer so trying to go back
13:47
and forth to get settled in this summer
13:51
with baby on the way would be way too
13:52
much we wouldn't want to actually sign
13:55
our Le and get the keys until October so
13:57
we didn't apply but we pretty sure that
13:59
that is the one that we're going to go
14:01
with um it's only like 15 minutes from
14:05
the parks but it's far enough that
14:07
you're not dealing with that traffic if
14:09
you just want to go out to the store or
14:12
to go get groceries or something my
14:14
husband had a budget it was under his
14:17
budget but still a very beautiful place
14:21
so U if we decide to go with that we'll
14:24
probably fill out an application for
14:26
that sometime in August so that's just
14:28
something I will keep you guys updated
14:30
on whether or not we will be making that
14:35
move to a Florida second home of course
14:39
everything is God's timing not my timing
14:42
cuz if it was my timing it would have
14:44
happened too um years ago but one thing
14:46
that I felt like I needed to really
14:50
learn is how to be like fully content
14:53
and grateful right where I am I always
14:56
get like bouts of seasonal depression
14:58
and sometimes is so extreme that I'm
15:00
like on my own like trying to figure out
15:04
what I can do to fix it and for me it
15:06
was like to relocate in the winter which
15:11
isn't the easiest thing to be able to do
15:14
you know and we have a beautiful home
15:16
that we just purchased 2 years ago and
15:19
like we had just moved in and already I
15:21
was like looking for the next thing and
15:23
I really needed to sit back and become
15:25
much more grateful and content here in
15:28
this home that God has given us that my
15:30
husband is providing for us so that is
15:32
what I have you know been doing we are
15:35
also blessed to have family here to help
15:39
us like once the baby comes to be able
15:41
to keep new when we go into labor
15:44
because I was ready to hop up and like
15:46
sell our home last October and move to
15:49
Florida completely um even though the
15:52
goal that we really wanted was to have
15:54
two places one here and one in Florida I
15:56
was like I don't care sell the home take
15:57
me to Florida I really don't care care
15:59
but in being patient um letting God lead
16:03
the way with his timing we might be in a
16:06
better place now but we will be able to
16:08
not have to sell our Michigan home but
16:11
get that second place in Florida and
16:12
Orlando again I am not sure completely
16:14
of the timeline that is currently where
16:17
we are anything can happen between now
16:20
and then where my husband might decide
16:22
otherwise and his decision is the
16:25
decision um we are very traditional
16:28
household so he is the decision maker
16:30
but the ultimate decision maker of
16:32
course is God so I trust God to lead my
16:36
husband to lead our family and I know
16:39
that my husband he is a Praying husband
16:43
and he is a very faithful hasb been like
16:46
faithful to God so that helps me to
16:49
trust his decision making a whole lot
16:51
more than me trying to do things on my
16:54
own because that I personally feel like
16:56
that's not the way God designed for our
16:58
marriage to be kind I think that I'm
16:59
better off by going that route than me
17:03
trying to make the decisions and figure
17:04
it all out on my own even if my
17:06
husband's not really there with it I
17:07
will continue to update you guys with
17:09
that but I'm going to go put these bath
17:12
towels away and then yeah we're going to
17:15
go ahead and get started with dinner
17:18
have some broccoli stir FR Frozen that I
17:21
am going to sauté and some olive oil and
17:24
then I also got some chopped green
17:25
peppers out of the freezer just in case
17:27
I don't have any fresh ones in the
17:35
fridge really quick I got some more
17:38
groceries that I ordered I thought that
17:40
these are the coffee cups that come with
17:41
the lid but it's not my mistake the
17:45
silap Almond Berry
17:47
free caramel creamer sweet creamy
17:51
one cinnamon and vanilla Great Value
17:54
coffee the caramel pean and coffee
17:57
cookies so my
18:00
husband is allergic to
18:04
peas so I'm like going through and
18:07
picking out those like sugar snap peas I
18:11
wish there was more color in here like
18:13
they only have like a few red peers and
18:15
carrots in here but then they just have
18:17
like
18:17
cauliflower and broccoli white corn
18:22
mushrooms water chestnuts and red
18:24
peppers is what's supposed to be in here
18:27
now that they're all coated it in the
18:29
olive oil I'm going just let it simmer
18:32
while I chop up the meat the water's
18:34
boiling for the
18:45
rice I am no butcher I have no idea any
18:49
proper way to chop meat so you know I am
18:53
just doing it as I like chop that the
18:56
same way I chop a vegetable or piece of
18:59
fruit is like how I am chopping this
19:01
steak
19:34
I didn't just tap the tumeric into the
19:37
rice not a lot only a little bit only
19:40
because
19:41
um my husband not fing
19:49
[Music]
20:10
last for the biscuits I had a taste for
20:13
like some southern biscuits and gravy so
20:16
just can biscuits but still be good so
20:19
it comes to like8 and even if I don't
20:23
cook or at of these biscuits the last
20:27
two will go to waste they either go to
20:29
waste because I won't cook them or
20:31
they'll go to waste because I'll cook
20:32
them and the one's going to eat them cuz
20:33
we're not going to eat eight biscuits
20:34
it's just three of us so I just cook the
20:37
six I'm going to go ahead and get
20:39
started on cleaning up the dishes from
20:42
today so that um you know after we eat
20:45
dinner we just have to add our dinner
20:47
plates to the dishwasher and I don't
20:48
have to worry about all of you know that
20:51
stuff I don't know if loading the
20:53
dishwasher counts as doing the dishes
20:55
but that's what I'm gonna do so I'm not
20:58
hand washing them they're going into the
21:00
dishwasher
21:05
[Music]
21:32
that took like 2 minutes I just had to
21:34
hand wash The Cutting Board and then put
21:36
everything else in the dishwasher and we
21:39
didn't have much because we have been
21:40
using paper products lately which
21:42
normally we don't but lately that's been
21:45
our thing paper plates and paper cups
21:48
and um plastic wear it's been super
21:51
super helpful last time having to like
21:53
stand on my feet in the kitchen for when
21:55
it gets really really hard when I was
21:57
pregnant with an Noah I remember
21:59
knocking like a whole counter of dishes
22:02
onto the floor because I don't know it's
22:04
like the belly is there but you forget
22:06
that it's there me personally maybe I'm
22:09
just super clumsy or dinky or something
22:12
that I'm just going to PO my day and
22:14
knock something over with my stomach so
22:17
when I was pregnant with Noah like I was
22:18
trying to do the dishes and I had them
22:20
like all on the countertop um loading
22:22
them into the water and knocked all of
22:25
the glasses on the floor glass was
22:27
everywhere I was like cyan cuz I felt so
22:30
bad and my husband like cleaned up all
22:32
of the glass and any who we had to buy
22:35
new dishes um and then it was also just
22:39
exhausting I don't know it was tiring so
22:42
yeah I might do 14 hours of walking
22:45
inside of Disney World but washing the
22:47
dishes that's not something that I
22:49
actually enjoyed doing I didn't put a
22:51
whole lot of tumeric because um it
22:53
wasn't like for the taste it was like
22:56
just to help my husband's immune system
22:59
out I made him like a ginger peach and
23:01
tumeric tea with some peppermint instead
23:03
of putting it back into the pot nine
23:06
times out of 10 after it's done cooking
23:08
it's going directly into a storage
23:10
container that it's going to go into the
23:13
fridge in so that I don't have to worry
23:16
about putting it into like the storage
23:18
container after we've done eating dinner
23:22
mortish is to wash so I just do it right
23:24
away I serve it out of the storage
23:26
container close it up and then once it
23:29
cools I put it in the fridge I try to
23:31
minimize the amount of things that I
23:32
actually have to do after dinner because
23:34
I'm the type of person who probably
23:36
wouldn't do it I get fooled and then I
23:38
don't move again like I don't like going
23:41
to sleep with dishes in the sink or you
23:44
know a messy kitchen or home but
23:49
um I know me and I very much will do it
23:54
if I don't get it clean before we sit
23:57
down to eat so
23:59
so that is what I'm trying to do
24:05
here here's how that is looking the
24:08
gravy has gotten a little bit darker and
24:11
a little bit thicker cuz I let it simmer
24:13
there is what we're going to have over
24:16
top of the rice I can get the table set
24:18
so that once that 3 minutes is up we can
24:21
sit down and say our Grace and thank God
24:24
for putting food on our table and be
24:26
able to enjoy this meal together that is
24:28
one thing that we always do together
24:30
like no matter what and I hope that that
24:32
never changes like once you know my kids
24:35
get older and stuff I hope that we can
24:37
always come together around the table as
24:39
a family and enjoy dinner together just
24:42
having that time together every single
24:44
day allows us to still spend time in a
24:47
very busy day I know um you'll be
24:50
surprised how many families don't get to
24:53
do that because of the different
24:54
conflicting work hours and then the kids
24:57
having to get to bed at a certain time
24:59
before school so sometimes the kids
25:01
would eat earlier or maybe even
25:03
teenagers eat inside of their bedrooms
25:05
and things like that and obviously if
25:07
that is the reality you know that's just
25:10
how it has to be everything is not
25:12
forever um we go through seasons in life
25:15
but I am very grateful and I always
25:18
thank the Lord for that that we do get
25:20
to come together we don't always eat
25:22
breakfast together that is something
25:25
that we normally do in our own quarters
25:27
of the house
25:28
but the days that we eat breakfast
25:30
together I'm also super super grateful
25:32
because that's two times that we get to
25:34
fellowship and gather around the table
25:36
together so that's really important for
25:38
me so I'm going to cut the Vlog here I
25:41
hope that today wasn't too too boring it
25:43
was very very real realistic kind of
25:45
like a struggle day in the life but we
25:48
did get some groceries or a little bit
25:50
of groceries grocery haul we did some
25:53
unpacking some laundry cooked some
25:55
dinner together um and and I caught you
