Vlog Recap: What We Did Last Week (September 16 – 23)

Last week we decided to venture out of the house to Ikea with all four kids while we are still getting over colds. There we find a solution to our over-flowing twins’ clothes problem.

I talk about the future of the vlogs and what you can expect come October and also get together with another YouTuber to work on a really fun collaboration.

The big kids start speech therapy, and despite their protests, they end up loving it.

But I start to really struggle with low energy levels and wonder if I am over-doing it, or am I getting sick?

What I Do When I Am “In A Funk”

We all have them. Off days. You know, those days where you feel unmotivated and like you are in a fog. You feel like you are going in slow motion and although you know what you need to do, you have a hard time getting there.

The recent heat wave sent me into a funk for a couple days last week and turned all of our kids upside-down. We were all off.

In this vlog I talk about what I do when I am in a funk. Truthfully, I don’t fight it. I cozy up to it, pamper myself and jump back in the next day.

The Importance Of Regrouping Before You Parent (Video)

Parenting is like being on a hamster wheel. It never stops, it never slows down. I find as a mom I can go, go, go and then suddenly I know I need to take a minute to regroup.

On this particular weekend, we enjoy spending some time with friends, but the next morning I find myself in a bit of a funk.

After having a quiet breakfast by myself I am ready to jump back on that hamster wheel and parent.

A Day In The Life 6 (Video) – How I Learned The Hard Way That Self Care Is So Important

On this particular day I am shocked when I not only write a to-do list, but the day goes as planned and I am actually able to tackle everything on my list.

The three girls play so well, but I notice Holden is feeling a little left out, so I brainstorm ways I can include Holden.

While taking care of myself, (which was on my to-do list), I talk about how I learned the hard way that self care is so important, especially after I became a mother.

The Last Days Of Our Summer Vacation

In today’s vlog we continue our summer holiday week after a low-key day at home. I talk a bit about my medical condition that leaves me with less energy and I confess to who I don’t have any framed photos of.

Also, Mike and the kids set up a lemonade stand which was all his idea… I can’t take any credit. To end our fun filled vacation week we go swimming with my family and all of the cousins.
