0:51
cleaning video home organization
0:52
biblical homemaking all of the things
0:54
and today we are just going to be doing
0:56
a day in the life because as I share
0:58
those tips with you guys and share all
1:00
of that motivation and inspiration I
1:02
feel like when you see someone actually
1:04
modeling and doing the things that they
1:06
are preaching then it just helps so much
1:09
more especially in the relatability
1:10
aspect so so I'm going to just take you
1:12
guys along and a typical day in the life
1:13
of a stay-at-home mom Homemaker and
1:15
homeschool mama so let's go ahead and
1:17
get right into it baby girl is just
1:19
waking up as you can see here on the
1:21
baby monitor and I put her here in my
1:24
bed very early it is 10:42 I have
1:27
already did my Bible studies in devotion
1:30
my prayers I spent an hour this morning
1:32
doing that after getting myself dressed
1:34
and ready for the day and then I sat
1:36
down and I spent 1 hour working so I
1:39
normally do like a Blog hour right after
1:41
my devotions in that blog hour basically
1:44
I write one or two blog posts on my blog
1:47
I have two a homeschool blog as well as
1:49
a motherhood and homemaking blog one of
1:51
them is motherhood and homemaking.com
1:53
the other is the mom resource.com I
1:56
found that it's most efficient for me to
1:58
get that stuff done like as soon as I
2:00
wake up in the morning before you know
2:03
everything begins and we typically like
2:04
to get our homeschool day started at
2:06
12:00 I know some people homeschool at
2:08
10:00 in the morning even earlier for me
2:11
I found that it's just best to do it at
2:12
12:00 with the current season of life
2:14
that we are in now that I'm up and about
2:17
and vlogging and everything naturally
2:19
she's getting up and I'm pretty sure my
2:22
son is going to be getting up too so I'm
2:23
going to get her get her together and
2:25
then I'm going to go downstairs and make
2:27
some food for us to eat hello
2:37
so let me show you guys right there that
2:40
little desk and chair is where I work in
2:43
the morning while baby girl I normally
2:45
put her right here so she will either be
2:47
sleeping in her bassinet right there
2:49
next to the desk or she'll be sleeping
2:51
right here in my bed while I'm working
2:54
basically that's how I'm able to quickly
2:55
get to her so if I was like downstairs
2:57
working and she be to like move around
2:59
like when she's about to wake up then I
3:01
basically wouldn't be able to get her
3:03
back to sleep fast enough because I let
3:06
her wake up fully but being closer to
3:08
her helps me to be able to get her back
3:09
to sleep before she's fully awake so
3:11
that I can just finish working she is
3:13
like it too
3:22
early I like to keep this little bouncer
3:24
right here in the kitchen so that I can
3:28
put the baby here if I need to get work
3:30
done in the kitchen which is all the
3:31
time so basically right now I'm getting
3:33
ready to make some breakfast and I think
3:35
we're just going to go with
3:36
Like Biscuits and eggs or biscuits and
3:40
grits of some sort I just wanted the
3:42
biscuits like I wanted some sort of
3:43
bread but we were like pretty low on
3:46
toast I didn't have enough um my husband
3:48
had to leave out this morning to go do
3:50
some film work film work so he's not
3:53
here so I don't have to make like a
3:54
really big breakfast my son normally
3:56
likes biscuits so do I but for some
3:58
reason I just felt like I need to have a
4:00
little bit more like grits or something
4:02
which maybe I just don't maybe I can
4:04
just do biscuits and then for lunch
4:06
we'll do like a smoothie and a protein
4:08
shake because I just don't think that
4:11
the Grits are necessary for today maybe
4:12
we'll just do grits and sausage like
4:14
tomorrow for breakfast so we're going to
4:16
preheat the
4:19
oven so just a five pack of biscuits
4:24
here may you always find your way to
4:28
Higher Ground
4:31
may you always keep your head held up
4:36
high
4:38
Prett wait for the oven to preheat and
4:40
then we'll put these in there I threw
4:42
away the what did it say I think it's
4:44
probably like 8 minutes so yeah just put
4:47
these in the oven for 8 minutes and we
4:49
get to go I need to iron
4:54
these makes a world of difference so you
4:58
make me Mama's coming sweetie I got an
5:02
iron this poor little apron
5:06
Diamond shining from
5:09
within I can tell that you're
5:13
tough ordering a cup of Love feel it
5:18
rising up and above you will always keep
5:22
my heart and soul
5:25
strong plant your seeds and watch them
5:28
grow the light will always know where to
5:31
go you will always keep my heart and
5:35
soul strong I feel like like that's my
5:38
work
5:40
uniform as a homemaker I feel like that
5:43
little apron is my uniform and who goes
5:45
to work you know wrinkled and everything
5:47
I can't be showing up to work all
5:48
wrinkled so now that that's done I can
5:51
actually get some things done say I'm
5:54
hungry so it's been about 2 hours I fed
5:57
her at 8:30 right did you eat at 8:30
6:00
about 8:30 or 8:40 so it's been about 2
6:03
and 1/2 hours and so I'm going to go
6:05
ahead and nurse her and then after that
6:09
once we're eating together I will offer
6:11
her like yogurt she's 6 months so we've
6:15
been just doing like apples and bananas
6:17
introducing you know one per week so
6:19
she's tried thus far apples bananas and
6:22
sweet potatoes over the past three weeks
6:24
that is what we've been each week
6:26
introducing her to a new thing um an
6:28
oatmeal baby oatmeal
6:30
like
6:31
homemade yeah so we've been making all
6:33
of her stuff homemade and I bought her
6:36
some yogurt to try week four I'm worried
6:40
about this one cuz she has not yet had
6:42
Dairy she's not crawling yet but her
6:44
legs are really strong but her arms are
6:46
not as strong
6:49
yet are you going to start to
6:53
crawl are you going to crawl
6:59
you don't know she also has one tooth so
7:03
that's a new thing as well so that's
7:06
exciting you're just growing up too fast
7:08
I don't know if we're going to stop here
7:10
or keep
7:15
[Music]
7:24
going all right so we fed NAA and the
7:28
biscuits taking a bit longer than the 8
7:31
minutes more like maybe 15 minutes I
7:33
think I woke up no he's upstairs doing
7:36
his morning
7:38
routine um do you want
7:44
yogurt you don't like
7:51
that do
7:54
you yeah so now's upstairs doing his
7:58
morning routine which is just wake up
8:01
and brush his teeth clean his face get
8:04
himself dressed for the day make his bed
8:07
um then he heads down eats we do
8:09
homeschool and that concludes his whole
8:12
morning routine so he has a little
8:15
morning
8:17
routine why your babies eat is so
8:21
nasty it's so
8:23
messy do you like yogurt so he is
8:27
working on the morning routine now and
8:29
then once he's coming down that's when
8:31
he'll get to eat and do home school
8:33
[Music]
8:41
yeah she likes this one it's a
8:44
strawberry Greek yogurt whole milk by
8:48
better Goods so this is a way to get
8:51
them some protein and if you plan to
8:52
introduce them to Dairy um this is a
8:55
good way to do it
8:57
[Music]
8:59
up and above you will always keep my
9:03
heart and soul
9:06
strong plant your seeds and watch them
9:09
grow the light will always where to go
9:13
you will always did you do Noah is going
9:17
to be drinking the better Goods organic
9:19
whole milk and then we decided to go
9:22
with one of them with the jelly and then
9:24
one of them with honey butter and then I
9:26
always just don't spread his because
9:28
he's five and he kind of likes to like
9:32
learn to be like a little more
9:33
self-sufficient so I just let him keep
9:34
the butter knife and spread his own
9:35
jelly it just gives him a sense of
9:38
confidence and self-sufficiency so
9:41
that's waiting for him when he come down
9:43
and then I have the same I don't know if
9:45
like introducing them to Dairy earlier
9:47
in life helps them
9:49
with not having like that lactose
9:52
intolerance later I'm trying to
9:54
introduce her to it
9:57
now just so she do wasn't do velop like
9:59
an allergy to it later I don't know how
10:02
that type of stuff
10:09
works say yum say
10:15
m eat yum
10:18
eat even though they can't speak right
10:20
now just saying certain words they can
10:23
hear it and they might pick up on like
10:26
understanding it before they can
10:27
actually speak it so then when they they
10:29
are speaking it's a little bit easier
10:33
yeah I'm going to be talking soon
10:35
absolutely
10:37
nothing interesting going on over here
10:41
um it's honestly just kind of peaceful
10:44
and quiet this morning as far as
10:46
cleaning and homemaking goes that
10:49
typically I call it my homemaking hour
10:51
that's typically between 4: and 6
10:53
anything that needs to be clean do any
10:55
laundry that needs to be done for the
10:57
day and begin preparing my dinner for
11:01
the day so that we can have dinner about
11:03
6:30 in the evening so I'm trying like
11:06
right now I can see like all the things
11:08
that need to get done around the house
11:10
but I'm trying to be more intentional in
11:13
just feeding my baby and then I'm going
11:15
to be intentional with homeschool and my
11:17
son instead of trying to multitask and
11:20
do a bunch of things at once um I've
11:23
been trying out instead block scheduling
11:27
and that's been kind of working for us
11:28
and she had about 1 and 1/2 tablesp of
11:30
yogurt so she got a full nursing session
11:33
and then 1 and 1/2 tablespo of the
11:36
yogurt so I'm going to work on finishing
11:39
this up and then go check on the kid
11:40
make sure he can head on down because
11:41
like I said it's 11:30 so he needs to
11:44
spend 20 minutes at least being able to
11:46
finish his breakfast so that we can jump
11:48
right into home school so going to eat
11:50
and then make sure that the kid is up so
11:53
this little one here is all cleaned up
11:55
after breakfast and now she's having a
11:57
little bit of tummy time so she can
12:00
practice her crawling skills so she just
12:02
have a couple of love every toys she has
12:04
like the rolling I don't know what what
12:06
do you call it basically it can roll
12:08
across the floor and encourages them to
12:11
crawl after it and then she also has her
12:14
little wooden book over
12:16
here yeah and then this is the its itsy
12:21
ritzy Tummy Time mat this is just the
12:25
soft mat from inside of her packing
12:27
plate and then
12:29
this is just her little play gy that we
12:32
got her I can't remember the brand so
12:35
she's working on that
12:40
[Music]
12:48
there that's how God sent the wind to
12:51
blow across the Earth and then
12:56
[Music]
13:24
and then and then as we begin I CH our
13:28
home school day firstable day we pray
13:31

13:35

Jesus name amen amen she's kind of
13:41

13:44
she just get so tired I'll pick her up
13:46
and nurse her to sleep and then we'll be
13:49
able to get through school but I think
13:51

way to sleep and she was like just
17:45
dozing off when my husband walked in the
17:47
door I'm going to nurse her to sleep and
17:51
then I'll take her upstairs and lay her
17:53
down in her
17:57
crib fun because you look at my sister
18:01
like Dad I look at your sister so we
18:05
have completed home school for the day
18:07
we actually have completed like the bul
18:09
of our day because our days typically
18:12
are the busiest before um 3:00 which is
18:17
like the home school and breakfast and
18:20
lunch and things like that so I just
18:21
have some cleaning to do 4:00 is
18:23
normally when I begin like my homemaking
18:25
and then I prepare dinner and things
18:27
like that and then 6:00 pretty much just
18:29
wind down we eat dinner then after
18:31
dinner we'll load those dishes that we
18:33
had for dinner into the dishwasher after
18:36
dinner I just settle her down put her to
18:38
sleep and then I'll spend like one more
18:40
hour like working basically like editing
18:42
videos and things like that get my blog
18:44
work done in the morning and then in the
18:46
evening is when I try to do like my
18:47
YouTube editing and things like that
18:49
because they just take for a different
18:51
type of level of like brain power like I
18:56
can edit a video at night after she's
18:58
asleep sleep but as far as needing to
19:02
type and have my thoughts you know
19:06
together and things like that that is
19:08
easily like best done for me in the
19:10
morning when it's complete quiet nobody
19:13
is awake except for me with my thoughts
19:16
so I try to do that part in the morning
19:18
basically right now it's like 2:30 in
19:21
the afternoon 3: going on 3:00 we
19:23
finished up school about
19:25
2:15 I loaded some dishes into the
19:27
dishwasher for the little bit of time
19:29
talking to my husband and now I'm
19:32
upstairs and this is typically my me
19:34
time but of course I still have the kids
19:35
right and I have a baby now in the
19:38
future I'm planning to factor back into
19:41
my fitness routine if I can consistently
19:43
have that two to four you know block of
19:47
nothing to do then I can begin adding in
19:49
that 3 to 4:00 workout or that 2 to 3 or
19:54
2:30 to 3:30 maybe ideal workout twice
19:57
per week so that's the goal so that's
20:00
why I left that two-hour block of
20:02
nothing because I know eventually I'm
20:03
going to have to begin my fitness
20:05
journey again and get back into working
20:08
out twice to three times per week but as
20:10
of right now I normally just sit back
20:12
read a book study something watch a
20:15
YouTube video that I like and if
20:16
something does come up where home school
20:18
is pushed back a little bit I'm not
20:20
pressed for time because I did leave
20:22
that two hour break and if something
20:24
happens where I have to run out to run
20:26
an errand I also still have that 2hour
20:28
block of to do so now I get to go do
20:30
that and then I'm going to do a little
20:32
bit of cleaning which I'll share a
20:34
little bit of that with you guys but I'm
20:35
also going to use that to work so I'm
20:37
going to do a full clean with me for you
20:38
guys and make sure that I record that as
20:41
well and share some cleaning motivation
20:42
with you guys on Sunday so here is what
20:45
it's looking like down here Noah built
20:47
his little Tower and I'm not going to
20:49
bother but there are still a few toys
20:50
way in the back that we can put away as
20:52
well as his Paw Patrol toys that he can
20:54
take to his room and then as you can see
20:55
over there there's definitely some
20:56
tidying that can be done there and then
20:59
the kitchen is looking pretty Messy as
21:01
well lots of cleaning today I have had
21:03
my little downtime everybody with a job
21:07
most people get a lunch break right they
21:09
get like an hour lunch break whatever so
21:11
between 2:30 and it's now 4:30 normally
21:15
like I said it's like 4: to 600 is the
21:17
time that I start working I am going to
21:19
just do what I can so I'm going to try
21:22
and clean from 4:30 to 5:00 one of my
21:24
favorite you know clean the heads like
21:26
if you just don't feel like it set a
21:28
timer just do what you can within that
21:30
timer because normally at 5:00 I will
21:32
start preparing dinner and I'm just
21:34
going to dive in and see what I can do
21:35
the goal is to at least tidy up the
21:38
kitchen and the family room and if
21:40
there's anything that I can still like
21:42
the Clutter within that time frame
21:43
that's left I'm going to do that may you
21:45
always find your way to Higher
21:50
Ground may you always keep your head
21:54
held up
21:56
High pretty little thing
21:59
you're a diamond in
22:02
the
22:05
shin I would say this was a successful
22:08
30 minute clean got that done so that we
22:11
can move on I'm thinking that I'm going
22:13
to get the baby to calm down and then
22:15
after I get her to calm down I'm more
22:17
than likely just going to go ahead and
22:18
prepare the stir fry dinner you just
22:20
toss it in a skillet until it's warm you
22:23
add the sauce in there and then after
22:25
the kids are asleep I'll spend one more
22:27
hour working are you guys guys and with
22:28
that we sum up today's stay in the life
22:30
I hope that you guys enjoyed it I didn't
22:32
want to just go too overboard make it
22:34
too long for you guys but I definitely
22:35
wanted to share some type of
22:36
relatability with you guys and show you
22:38
guys what a day in the life of a
22:41
stay-at-home mom or Homemaker and
22:42
homeschool mama can kind of just look
22:44
like every day is not going to be the
22:46
same every season is not the same and
22:48
it's not really supposed to because we
22:50
grow through life as we go through life
