SPEND THE DAY WITH ME | STAY AT HOME MOM LIFE VLOG

today you are going to

spend

the day with me hello guys my name is Vanessa if you are new I am a housewife I have been married for almost two ten years we have four children three of them are in public school our eldest daughter is

home

schooled, she has a online program and I just wanted to give you a little bit of background before you hang out with me for today so I've done a couple of these

spend

the day with me in kind of check-ins where I'm normally out of the house doing some errands but today We have no plans to leave the house, we'll see if that changes, but for now all I want to do and accomplish today is inside my house, so it's barely after 7:00am. m., the three youngest ones go to school, mark, my husband goes to work, so it's very quiet in my house and the first thing is always the coffee, okay, so every time I make my coffee .

I always get questions, so I thought I'd go ahead and share them. I usually drink two cups of coffee a day. My first cup is just coffee with the collagen I prefer, which is from Perfect Keto, not sponsored rings like that. I pay my own account. money for this, but I have tried several different collagens and this is the one I prefer, so I will have it linked below in case you want to try it. I keep it in this little jar, I just create. It looks better and then I buy them in bulk. I have items three at a time because it's a little cheaper and each container lasts me about a month so I'm good for about three months before I have to buy more so it's about mid-February and I'm about half of my little container here, so I'm on the right track.

I also use this little blender here or frother to mix it into my coffee and this was only I think $6.99 or $7.99 at Target but there is one for about the same price on Amazon so I'll have this link below . I really think it makes a difference before purchasing that I was only using a spoon to stir it and it doesn't mix as well as the frother. so you'll definitely want to get one of those if you add any type of collagen or powdered substance to your coffee. Also, they already sent me the Omega Powerful Cream twice.

I bought the pumpkin spice one, which was very good. the weak side didn't have much flavor, then I bought the peppermint mocha which was so good I was so sad when I ran out and I almost went ahead and ordered another one but then they sent me an email. and I said: Hello, we have a new flavor. We'd love for you to try it and once they said salted caramel, I was sold. Send it to me. I definitely want to try it and this one is really good so I added that. my coffee this morning and now that I have it, I will make it a part of my morning routine until I run out and then I will buy another one unless they come out with a new flavor but they send me this every time. this is on Amazon and every time I buy one I get this little card that says Aikido SC which means salted caramel 20 and that will give you 20% off so I'll have the link below and then I'll have this. code below with the link in case you forget, but that will give you a 20% discount if you want to try it.

This one is actually really good so it's made with grass fed ghee coconut oil, naturally flavored MCT oil and again the flavor. It's salted caramel, so delicious, I really enjoy it,

life

is a winding road, you don't know where it's going, driving for days and nights, don't stop at traffic lights, I really want no one to want to know if I find out where the road goes , even if "You're falling. I'll keep searching for my heart. You can give a lesson online. I'll still keep my head up. It's okay. Betty made the lines open. It's still a little dark outside, but now I really need to start to wash clothes." I hope to have both loads to do today, but I'll go ahead and go upstairs and check the kids' baskets.

They usually put theirs down when they're full, but sometimes, if I'm in an area, I'm doing laundry. I'll go ahead and check theirs during the school day and see if they're full enough to go ahead and finish, but we'll start on mine first because I have an overflow, my husband and I. our clothes are there and then the towels, the towels are there, but we have a basket in the laundry room that has more towels from cleaning and the kids throw their towels and they are and all that good stuff, so those are the two loads to I'm sure I have to finish today, even the costume of jumping off a cliff, so much confidence in the wings to fly, sometimes they collapse, but we get up and all that from the ground.

I really want no one to want to know if I can figure out where the road goes even if we're falling I'll keep looking for my highs you can say a love of mine I'll keep holding my head up even if the sky is falling even if the sky is falling look , hey, I already did it, cleaning up breakfast. The dishes got dirty in the dishwasher. I didn't clean the air fryer last night. I wore it to dinner, but I washed it this morning. These are the children's glasses. They

stay

outside. We use one cup a day.

All countertops are clean. We don't really use it. this counter for breakfast, so I didn't have to clean it, but I did throw away the flour. The flowers were starting to drop their petals and looked a little droopy, so throw them away, but clean them up and I've been vacuuming them every time. We eat very quickly but last night I had to clean the vacuum filter so it has to dry for 24 hours so I can't vacuum it until tonight so I'll leave it there and it's been a bit rainy. week so I leave a towel for the dogs so that's why it's there in case you're wondering so now I'm going to turn off some of these extra lights and our recycling bins are completely full and I can't film here because Yes You saw the tour of my furnished house, my pantry is a project waiting to be finished, but let me show you here, this is where we put our recycling, so they are pretty full.

I need to empty them. Those bags

stay

there. I use them. like cat litter and stuff like that, so I'm going to go ahead and empty them out and take them outside, okay guys it's a little after 8, it's 810 now. I usually wake up between 8:30 and 9: 00. She stays up closer to midnight, so I let her get some sleep in the morning and I was going to hang this up again, so if you saw the tour of my furnished house, I have a wreath on each side of the front door. office and They have both been hanging for a while and I just have I love the command strips it's super easy and I just have these clear ones so you can't really see them and then the clear hook so it looks like the reefs are hanging. there, but this one has already been dropped three times, but I don't have any more clear command strips, so I just wrote that in my list of similar tasks.

Next time I go to the store I need to pick up some of those so this is just I'll be here and then I wanted your guys input because I'm not going to put them up until this weekend and you should check out this

vlog

before the weekend, so I picked them up from the dollar target price, they were five dollars. each so I have two cork boards on two of the magnetic boards so there's the cork so let me go ahead and lay them out on the floor so I can show you how I want to hang them and then I'm going to To show you two different places on the ones that I can't decide where I want to hang them here, okay, this is how I'm going to hang them, you know, diagonally, so I have the cork board, the magnetic board.

Cork board and magnetic boards are for collecting magnets. Every time I go anywhere, I pick up a magnet and I have a very big bag. I actually think it's here, yeah, here's my bag of magnets that I collected from all the different places that have been so I want to have them up and displayed and then the bulletin boards are just for things that the kids bring

home

or something like that more for display, not really for notes or anything like that, so this is one thing I'm I'll hang them on the bulletin boards that the girls made at school or the teachers, maybe these for me at school and I bought them for Mother's Day last year, so I want to hang them up and then I will have a big opening for others. things that I want to hang, this is what they will look like, but I can't decide because they are not for, like I said, notes and things that I was originally thinking of here on this wall, but this wall is still pretty empty, but I have an idea in mind, but i don't know if it will work so let me know.

I'll put a post on the I cards, either on the back wall or on top of my desk, right here, and then I can add. I'm not sure about some other things, so let me know what you think would look best. I always love giving us feedback. Okay, come back to my desk because I'm going to get some work done. I just made my second cup of coffee let it cool a little and in my second cup I always use some kind of unsweetened creamer and a little Jordans syrup which I ordered a bunch in a big variety pack online but they sell them , I have a couple that I found at TJ Maxx and home goods, they have them there so there are all kinds of different flavors so that's what I have here and I use my frother to whip the heavy cream first, sometimes I I make it in the cup I made that today sometimes I make it in another cup and I want it on top because it changes the consistency a little bit.

You can see here when I brew the coffee on top, it's more foamy, whereas if I brew the coffee and blend it. cream in a different cup and then pour over it has a creamier consistency but today I saved on dishes so I did that and then I checked my PO box yesterday and I wanted to say a big thank you to Amanda, your card was so sweet. She left me a really long message here and I really love it so I'm going to send you a thank you card and then look at these, they are super cute and really thick so I definitely need to throw some out. hand towels because they have gotten really old and I don't have many that are that thick so I really feel like it's good quality so I can't wait to replace some of the older ones with these two new ones and so I love this so much the

life

is good I really like this I think it's really cute I love that life is good is in two different fonts I just love how the good stands out so cute so I can't wait to find a place to put this I'm thinking about saving it until I get some shelves in the kitchen because I think it would look really nice there in the breakfast area, so thank you, thank you very much, that was it.

That's nice of you, so I wanted to make sure to say thank you in a video for you to see and now I've checked my calendar. I didn't share it with you because I have some personal things in here, quotes and things like. That's what you already know, but now I'm going to work a little with the email and I think I'll show you guys. Can I do this with one hand? Well, here we go, I'll show you some. numbers for my youtube channel because at the end of last year I had every intention of filming a urine check video but I thought it wouldn't work well on my youtube channel so there's an algorithm and all kinds of things that go into and they should not be done. and I definitely break a lot of rules.

I don't do what you should for your YouTube channel. You should stick with one type of video and I constantly upload that video constantly and I don't do that. I'm definitely more of a variety but all centered around mom life. I feel like I share what I like, but I feel like that video would be completely different from anything I share, so I thought I'd share a little peek at a

vlog

for those of you. who are very curious for those of you who have just started a YouTube channel or are thinking about it, always feel free to email me or message me on Instagram now, sometimes Instagram has gotten a little wonky lately. where some of my messages are hidden where I can't even access them, I don't even know where they are, like when Kyra texted me a while ago saying, Hey, did you get this message on Instagram and I said no?

She says, oh well, she's texting me saying you're ignoring her and I'm like I didn't even see it. No, it's nowhere, it's nowhere on my Instagram, so I don't know, so email me if you have any questions. or are you thinking about starting, I want some tips because I've been doing this for four years, slow and steady wins the race, y'all, slow and steady, so I feel like I have some tips that might help you all if you're curious, but I wanted to show you that last year was the first year that YouTube actually felt like work and I mean it's still fun.

I still enjoy doing it, but it's something that clicked for me where I was at. I thought it was okay, this really. he could go somewhere and he's really helping us as a family. I just signed the kids up last month for my December paycheck. I sign them up for way more extracurricular activities than they normally have and they are super excited, as I would normally make them choose. and sometimes they say no and sometimes they choose just one, but this time they are in several things andI was able to pay for that with my paycheck from Google, not really from YouTube, but from Google, and I just want to thank you all for that because that really helps us and we're really excited about it, so I wanted to share that with you a little bit, so Let me get into it.

I'm on my laptop, so I'm not going to be able to do anything as sophisticated as I actually do. will appear on the screen here. I'm going to use this camera, I'm going to show my laptop and I'm going to type in numbers, so we're doingThis is very vlog style, but let me go ahead and get into it and show you that there are possibilities with YouTube if you're a stay at home mom and you know you're carrying a little time, it is not something that can be done overnight. that happens again. I've been here for four years and it's only now becoming a substantial income for our family, so let me go ahead and show you just a few numbers to give you an idea of ​​what I'm talking about.

Okay, so I just have the camera facing the screen and I'm sitting on the side talking to you guys, so I hope to say that this is not professional at all, so I'm summarizing everything here as far as subscribers. so I'm at 88 368 again, this is my fourth year on YouTube and I'm going to show you guys the possibilities, so this is not the norm, these are just two videos that appeared for me, so I'm ranking them, I'm at my videos. sorted by most views and I have two videos that have gone viral and as far as I know, viral means just over a million views so I have two videos that have over a million views.

They are both instant pop videos and are constantly in In a single month, I earn income from these two videos, actually from several videos, so just because you post a video doesn't mean that you are only going to earn a certain amount during that month when the video is published. No, both videos were posted a year ago. Ago, so I'm going to get into the biggest one, let me pause, it has 1 million one hundred twelve thousand one hundred ninety-eight views and I posted it on April 5, 2018, so it's been over a year, let me go. to the analytics and in the last 28 days I have made three hundred and fourteen dollars from this video, but I will show you all the life that I can do, yes, since I uploaded it, so in this video you can see where it is. it went up and up in December and that's because everyone was picking up and filling instant pots or they just got them like after Black Friday so that's when I got a big increase but I made eight thousand seven hundred and sixty dollars in this video , so That's been great and then let me show you the difference because I mean I could really be really good at the technical stuff, but there's all kinds of aspects to a video and how you make money and not everyone makes the same thing and I went back too much. away, simply because that number of views, if you go to another channel and they have the same number of views, they could earn more, they could earn less.

There are a lot of different factors on how you get paid with Adsense, so this video is just under 1.1, so it's 1 million sixty-two thousand nine hundred and sixty-seven and then let me go to analytics. I just want to show you the difference because I think yeah, I've made more from this one and it's got a good, 50,000 less views, so Ivor, I've got my whole life in this video. I spend ten thousand three hundred and one dollars, so that's great, let me go ahead and play here and find out where I can show you what I did last year or maybe if I can find a month, a whole month, let me go ahead and find it and show you because I bet you guys are curious about that too, not just a video okay, so here we go, here's my channel analytics and I've got it. set to lifetime, so this is over the course of the last four years, the first year on YouTube.

I did not do anything. I didn't know what I was doing. In reality, it was just something I had to do. You can see here below. the line is very, very low, so it wasn't until this second third year that I really started to focus on what I wanted to share, what was going to grow my channel, what was helpful to other moms, so it's been a big change since then. I started so right now I have made a total of fifty six thousand dollars on YouTube but this is for life so let me show you 2019 there you have it so last year was a good part time I I mean some full-time jobs.

Time job I was making a little more than this when I had a full time job. I worked for the city of Boerne right before Bryce was born and I was with them for about five years and this was my pain, it was thirty-two. one thousand dollars forty hours a week, so in 2019 I got four million views, I got thirty-nine thousand subscribers and my income was thirty-two thousand six hundred fifty-three dollars. Now this is just YouTube Adsense, there are many other factors, I think in total it was about forty-five fifty thousand dollars. I'd have to ask Mark.

He has a big spreadsheet for me, but this is just an Adsense and you have to pay taxes. YouTube does not deduct taxes, so we have to pay quarterly to the IRS. So this is it: there aren't many other ways to earn income on YouTube. I've made a few sponsored videos, from Amazon affiliate links I added. I get paid for that too, but just YouTube, I feel like that was last year, it was my biggest year, it was pretty amazing, now a big part of this I can go to just one month, yeah, let me show you December.

Oh, something went wrong, come on, okay, this was my biggest month. Now in December most of the channels earn more because it is obviously Christmas and companies are paying more on Adsense, they are paying more to the channel to publish their ads and commercials on their channel because they want people to buy their products for Christmas. Obviously it's the holidays, so that was my biggest paycheck: six thousand seven hundred and thirty-nine dollars, so that was really cool. Look at my views. Also my views increased by 623 and then I got five point six thousand subscribers in the month of December last year. so I thought that was cool, but let me show you the difference between December and January, so December was pretty big: six thousand seven hundred and thirty-nine dollars in January, this is and you guys get paid a month late, so I They're going to pay me this at the end of February four thousand three hundred ninety nine dollars and the reason it's such a big drop is because the ads say, "Okay, it's January, we pay all our money like we're broke, all "Companies are bankrupt, so they don't do it." I don't pay much, but I think it's still a substantial income, so I really wanted to emphasize that this won't happen overnight, but if you're consistent and know what you want, share your authenticity in your videos.

It's a possibility and I feel like it's amazing, especially for new moms at home, to really help supplement your family's income, so again, if you have any questions, feel free to email me, so I hope I've answered a few. questions. I already have a couple of emails and a couple of DMS on Instagram asking and then I got a couple of comments also asking if I was going to do that video and I thought I mentioned somewhere that I wasn't going to do that video but maybe everything was like that. I thought to myself, no, I'm not going to make that video.

I didn't tell you that I'm sorry so I hope I answered some questions or part of the curiosity of all of you about that thing that is a big difference between channels is what your CPM is and I think that's something that channels can't share, They cannot share how much they are paid for each ad or minute the ad is published. I don't know how they do it. No, I don't care, I just focus on my content, so that shows you what my channel is doing at the moment, so I've pretty much met my goal. My goal was to earn enough to do extra things, so in December out of the few things that my paycheck is responsible for Marc and I sat down, he pays for some things like since I started making enough money to pay for some things, my paycheck goes toward certain things and in December we decided it was the biggest one we had.

I splurged and used a good portion of my paycheck on furniture for the house, so those are just a few things and I assigned the kids to several things. I think I paid $800 for the three youngest kids to do activities for the next six weeks so $800 isn't a lot but I was really excited to be able to do that to get furniture like that so it's just amazing. I really didn't think I knew you could do this on YouTube, but I didn't. I think I would especially because of where I started and how far I've come from where I started, so anyway now I'm going to go into my emails, work on that a little bit and then I think I've heard the page and the week, but I'm going to make sure she's awake.

I've actually been talking for a while now, it's 8:40, but I probably cut this whole thing short and just shared a few things with you. I always talk too much, I go overboard and I share too much. than I think I need, but every time this camera is off I feel like I'm actually talking to you and I'm not talking to a camera, so I hope you feel that too. I hope you feel like I'm definitely connected with You all and I enjoyed it and it's a lot of fun, so okay, I'll open my emails, do some work, and then we'll see what else I need to do.

I have a few things on my agenda for today. Guys, I've seen some people sharing what they get in their stitch fix boxes and using this deal for friends and family. I'm excited to finally get it, so instead, I think it's usually 20-25 guys. Get it when you use my link now it's $50 and then I get the same thing so if you've ever been thinking about trying Stitch Fix I mean it's a blouse and a shirt that's crazy so I'll have this in the description box in case you want to try the stitch arrangement. I don't use it that often anymore, it's just for if I really want some things.

I don't use it for pants anymore. I love target pants. they are a lot cheaper but their tops are really amazing quality so obviously when you guys get 50 I get 50 so that helps me too but if it was like giving you 50 I would still share it because I think it's amazing amazing 50 bucks so I'll have this link here in the description box if you want to try it man I didn't put it. I blinked my eyes today. I put on a little bit of mascara and then just a little bit. a little dusty but I need to look at those circles oh my gosh okay so I was thinking that's why I should have made a video but I shared it with you like the big numbers.

I feel like I should show you the norm. I mean, I showed you the monthly total, but I feel like I should show you a couple of videos like a normal video, so last week I uploaded, let's start with my views, which actually went up a little bit, which I'm really excited about. I'm trying to share what you're always asked and sometimes I just never follow it, but in the last two weeks I followed it. I asked on Instagram what videos you've been enjoying, is there anything new you'd like? I'd like to see it, so that's what I've been posting.

I have a lot of Dollar Tree and I'm trying to avoid it by sharing Dollar Tree, but I go to Dollar Tree anyway so I don't know, but Dollar Tree was an answer meal. preparation was number one. I have several people who wanted to see the house. They were both fully furnished, but then a lot of people said, "But I don't want to see a walk-through like your average house. I want to see what your plans are." the future and stuff like that, how things are working, so I know it was longer, but that's what everyone asked for, that's why I shared it and then you guys always say that grocery transportation is still sharing your grocery transportation, like this which I've been doing that and then Instant Pot.

However, every time I upload an Instant Pot video, let me show you how YouTube tells me to stop sharing Instant Pot because here are my views, so we'll start with the beginning of the month or the end of June we actually went to Costco, so can you see I'm holding the camera? Here we go. I'm here so Costco, that video has 32,000 views and then I got comments about you guys. See me cooking and all my appliances, so I shared the deep fryer because it was new and it has 13,000 views. So my grocery purchases usually get between 5 and 10, so this grocery purchase is seven point eight and then I shared a meal prep that is 15 dollars.

The tree is 13 and I mean a thousand, that is, fifteen thousand thirteen thousand. The tour of my house has 19,000. Trader Joe's videos always work best. I feel like people love Trader Joe's over any other grocery store, so one has 13 and then we go to the instant pot now. that one hasn't been up for a full 24 hours yet, but it hasn't even reached two thousand views and the latest video fromsomething that seems small to them, they look at it and then say no, I shouldn't have done that, that's how I feel good. Now, let's make some school lunches.

This is what I came up with for his lunches for tomorrow, so I'm going to leave them out because if I put them in his lunch box in the refrigerator, they'll get a little stale. so I'll leave them on the counter so I know how to add them tomorrow. I'll also leave them out to pack in your lunch boxes for tomorrow, but I'm going to go ahead and put them in your lunch boxes. Oh should I? Leave them out too, no, I'm going to go ahead and put them in there because I feel like it's going to be okay, so I'm going to show you what your boxes look like before I put them in the refrigerator, but the three of you leave. to get the same thing, the only difference is that Rose is extremely picky and she doesn't like regular sized pepperoni.

She only likes Minnie's pepperoni. Don't ask me why I have no idea, since I don't have that many left. I'll give Rose the pepperoni minis and then I'll give Bryce and Pearl the regular pepperoni. Everyone will receive a hard-boiled egg. These bunnies will be like her sweet gift. I'm going to fill the little hole. I only have two bags left there, so I'll divide them between the three of us. I'm going to put a medium Tillamook and cheddar in there and I'm going to pre-open them to make it easier for the kids and then I'm going to put a little mix of cucumbers and carrots on the back because their fruit is applesauce, so which are normally like a fruit and a vegetable, but since applesauce is your fruit, I thought I'd just mix up the vegetables for tomorrow, so I'm going to go ahead and put your lunch boxes together and put them in the refrigerator and that's one less thing What do I have to do later tonight?

Well guys I had to do an extra step because this doesn't work. It always happens, it's a little weird but the cucumbers I had in the fridge I guess I had them too far back and they were completely frozen and half soft so I had to throw them out . I hate, hate, hate when that happens, but it's rare for that to happen. and this is just where my mind is today. I put them in here after I said I wasn't going to and then I said no, I'm not taking them out again, whatever it is, sometimes they seal, sometimes I don't.

We'll see if the kids eat these, I think they will. I don't think it's a big deal and I still have a packet left so it was perfect, only one packet fits in here so I have one more packet for another lunch. So I'm going to go ahead and close them every time I share the kids' lunches. I always get comments saying it doesn't seem like enough food. It is for the period of time they have to eat lunch. They don't have much time. about 20 minutes and if you have small children, you know that they don't spend those 20 minutes eating like they should, they like to talk and chat and time flies so they will probably come home with some that Brice doesn't want. she pays attention to everything, Pearl eats everything, but Rose will probably come home with some extras because she just eats very slowly like me.

I don't eat fast at all. They grab a PowerBar, a granola bar, or a protein bar of some kind. Well for their afternoon snack if they are hungry and then now that they have after school activities they have an extra snack so they have 2 extra snacks for the in class snack later in the day if they are hungry and just after school. before their after school activities, if they are also hungry at that time, they will get more food than this and they will also have their applesauce, so I'm going to go ahead and close them, I'm so glad I did and then I have, ya you know, a cucumber, a fresh new cucumber prepared for the refrigerator, yeah, okay, these will stay out on the counter to remind me to put them in their lunch boxes tomorrow along with a juice box, so yeah, it's done . to drive a faster car I'm going to be myself I'm going to be someone okay, how the hell do I have four pairs of socks that are missing one sock?

It's OK? I'm going to leave these up here until I figure out where the others are oh you know what this one has a hole so one goes in the trash let me check them out maybe the last time I did the laundry I threw away some holy socks hmm okay three pairs They'll hang one in the trash here and I thought I'd show you Bryce's new dresser. We were able to put them together that weekend after filming the house tour, so Bryce's dresser is together and Pearl's is too. I'll show you hers too. There's a pearl dresser, so yeah, I might be throwing away some socks because these are all yours, this is what I do.

I ask them to put their socks up here and I put them together just because they don't know how to do it yet, but look. She has some socks here that she took apart. I guess this morning she changed her mind about which socks she was going to wear, so everyone's missing a match. I'm going to put these two together and then next time I'll do his laundry. It will probably be in two days because the pain is almost complete, but I thought I would wait a little longer so I hope I can find some matches, otherwise all of these will be discarded too.

Can you see that or is it too dark? I can see. for my part it's starting to rain it was cold and it looked gloomy now it's starting to rain and this is a video that's about to go up oh it's so dark you can't even see my finger but do you guys see those window sills ? So this is The top part is like I can't reach it, that's the top part of the fan. I'm upstairs, there's still a living room, so yes, a video coming soon that will deep clean some areas. I still have to clean that up and I can see it. a good inch of dust like that is going to be so gross Oh oh yeah mm-hmm it's raining now so I'm definitely not going out to run any errands today okay, so today is definitely not going as planned, but okay, I'm going to spend the next maybe two hours, we'll see.

I just took some medicine, so I'm hoping that will kick in and get me out of this a little bit. I have a feeling, but I'm also going to try to eat, so I have a sadness. -It looks like a banana like these bananas I bought at Trader Joe's, they are super green and already turning brown, but that's okay, my kids have been pretty good at eating bananas, so I'll have two left, so I'll eat this one. one, this is about half a cup of cottage cheese and then I have one of these little Archer beef sticks, so I'm going to eat that strange combination, I don't know, I had another water and then I'm going to sit here in the chair while I eat and read and then when I'm done eating, I'll sit there or lie on the couch and read, so this is a book I'm working on right now.

I'm not a big fan, but I'm trying to get over it. I've been reading this for weeks like little by little, it's not a very quick read and it's not very interesting, but I am. one of those weirdos that once I start a book I have to finish it because I want to know what happens and I keep thinking it's going to get better, but hey, then it's called dark girl. I got this from the Dollar Tree. how I'm going to spend probably the next hour and then we'll see. I have about two hours before the kids get home.

In fact, the girls come home from school. Bryce plays basketball, so I won't pick him up until later at school. He does it right after, so I don't have to take him to basketball or anything like that. The school does that and I just pick it up at the end of their basketball class, so this is where I'll be sitting during the next one. hour and then we'll re-evaluate after an hour and if I want to do anything else or just keep reading, but yeah, I feel like I did enough this morning and I'm okay taking a little time for myself this afternoon.

Alright, one hour was definitely all the time I could dedicate to that book, so I left it. I'm almost done, but I needed a break. I needed to get up because I started to feel very sleepy, like I could take a nap. It's such a sad day, I actually got cold and was curled up in a blanket and that's when I thought, "Oh my God, I'm too comfortable, I need to get up, so I put on a hoodie now. I'm super nice and comfortable." and obviously I'm back in the office since I don't have time to do today on my to-do list, I'm not going anywhere, I'd vacuum a bit, but my vacuum is still drying.

I turned on the little robot. I vacuumed just to make a few rounds in the living room, but now I'm going to make the thank you card for Amanda and then I'm still working on a website. I'm being very picky and I need to stop, but I just can't decide what I want the look to be. I'm still going back and forth, but I still like to write and write the recipes I've shared in a similar blog type post and in a printable format, so I'll do that. a few more of those and maybe this will be the year it continues, like everything from the last four years I've shared.

I've been slowly working on writing down all the recipes, so who knows, I never have. I never put it as a priority and that's the problem so I'm going to sit down and work on it a little more so when I go to pick up the boys from the girls at the bus stop I can put the thank you note. to Amanda by mail so it goes out tomorrow. I'm waiting, talking about mail. I was supposed to receive a scheduled delivery on a Saturday and when I tracked the package it still says it will be delivered on Saturday February 8th.

Well, it's Tuesday and it hasn't arrived yet. It hasn't been updated or anything so I could log in and if it's not delivered today I'll log in tomorrow and see where that order is because I ordered more containers here because I couldn't find them at the dollar place. and some dollar things can be ordered online, so if they don't arrive, I'll cancel that order, get my money back, and figure something else out. I don't know, but I really want to finish this office because That's another video that I have partially as footage so far hanging on my computer, so I don't know, I'm chatting with you all because I don't want to do anything that I really don't like today Oh.

OMG I chose the wrong day to vlog. I should keep going when I have errands to run and stuff. Well, I got a lot done this morning, but now I'm going to make the thank you card and do some work. until I have to pick up the girls at the bus stop, oh my god it's cold outside, my nose was red, but I've been inside for a good 25 minutes and I'm already warming up, but I should have driven to the bus stop bus. and I walked I always walk unless it's pouring rain. I walk just to get a little extra movement, but the girls are home and it's okay and the basketball breaks.

In fact, I have 10 minutes before I have to go pick up. him up but I'm going to end here because I just put up all my clips for today now part of this will speed up for when I'm making the bed and stuff like that, but it's already 54 clips and it's 2 hours and 18 minutes long for the vlog so yeah, Since I got quite a bit done this morning, I'm going to go ahead and finish it here instead of bringing you along with the rest of the afternoon, the kids and I are going to make your Valentine.
