 Hi everyone, welcome back to the vlog. So today is Monday, October 26th, and I'm gonna do another Just like basic lifestyle vlog this week. A lot of you really really enjoyed last week's vlog Filming at home. I'd love to be able to incorporate like home and school life in the same vlog I think it would be great, but it would probably make for a really long vlog and You know, whatever. So cash, and I just got home. It's 5 50 Actually went to get my nails fixed right after school. I just got acrylics I don't get any color. I just get clear so that it just looks like my nails, but they're not gonna break And then I went to home goods. I was looking for stuff for his playroom But I didn't find anything and then I picked him up and we went to fries real quick So I'm gonna show you guys what I got at fries. So we're gonna do a little grocery haul Okay, so we're just gonna start from this side. This is not like What I would get every single week. This is just kind of what we needed. So we needed some bread for caches Lunches over the weekends, and then I'm gonna start trying to do like breakfast sandwiches since he isn't really eating breakfast very well lately Some mandarins. He really likes these. These are the B-sweet brand we usually get the cuties, but they didn't have them And then he really likes strawberries and bananas, and then he also loves avocados So for dinner tonight, I'm thinking I'll make him some chicken nuggets with avocados maybe some noodles with like garlic and peas and carrots So that he can get some good fats in his diet because he doesn't really eat at school either. We're kind of struggling with Eating in general with this child, and then I grabbed some sushi. I'm gonna have this for dinner tonight And then if I'm still hungry, I'll have a little bit that one Um This is only 400 calories for dinner. So that's pretty good. And then this one is about less than 400 calories So if I eat one of them for dinner, I could save the other one for dinner tomorrow or for lunch And then I got all the things to make my breakfast sandwiches. You guys saw me make those last week Basically gonna make them again tonight And then I got two salads One is an Asian sesame salad and then one is a chicken chopped salad So I'll probably enjoy one of those for dinner and then I'm thinking I'll probably make this tomorrow But I just grabbed this home chef meal It serves one person It's the panko crusted boom boom chicken was steamed broccoli. It looks really tasty Looks like all you do is kind of like throw it together and stick it in the oven and it was 10 bucks So this would be cheaper than like last night. I ordered Um Like a Thai place and it was like 20 bucks after the delivery fee. So I got one of these to try for myself I got some butter Some sriracha to take to school because I'm gonna show you guys my lunches for school But I want some sriracha to put on top and then I always get this coffee It's just the Starbucks iced coffee and then I just got a creamer This will last me like the whole week and this thing is like five bucks and That is my alternative to stopping at Starbucks in the morning I just bring this to school keep it in my fridge and then I don't have to go to Starbucks in the mornings And then I grabbed these little muffins just another Carb to put in cash's body in the morning if he'll even eat them He hasn't really been wanting to eat muffins either. So that is what I got grocery wise And then our meals came today. So I was talking about these last week So I'm gonna show you so they're by Cormay's meals and they come looking like this So this meal is broccoli red potatoes and chicken. Hey, man And then so I get four meals a week and Scott gets eight meals a week And then this one is chicken broccoli and quinoa And I think those are the two that I got for the whole week Let's see. Oh, this one is a poblano chicken salad It comes with like celery and some whole grain pita and a poblano sauce and then the last one in there It's another one with broccoli. Oh, it looks like it has some kind of like cheese on top with pasta. Oh That looks good. So Yeah, those are gonna be my lunches for the week So I'll probably just take them with me to school tomorrow and then just leave them in my fridge at school And then I don't have to what's doing you want to carry it? Wrong end buddy bed Here you want carrot Well, that one was on the floor. Can I have that one here? That one was yucky Thank you. Just take a bite and then move on Okay Alright, so I'm gonna put all these groceries away and then I'm gonna cook this guy dinner and then we're gonna just hang out Hey, what you got there? What is that? Is that a carrot do you say carrot? Carrot oh Dog, he's like carrots too, huh? No carrot for you. All right, let's see how he did here. So he ate all his chicken nuggets and he asked for more so He ate some avocado and he's eaten almost a whole cutie Most of it's in his mouth right now So we'll see how he does You're just gonna ignore me aren't you put your bowl in the sink, please put it in the sink So mama can wash it. He's so tired. You guys he didn't nap at school today We gonna put it in there Yeah, that's my boy. All right, let's go play with your new puzzle Let's take off your shoes and play with your new puzzle. Okay, so I found this at home goods It's just one of these like giant War puzzles and that that would be fun for cash and I to play with so it is now eight o'clock and Cash is already asleep. I put him down 30 minutes early tonight because he didn't nap at school So I know he's really tired. Um I'm drinking some emergency because I feel like I'm getting sick like my throat is Yucky, and I'm starting to feel like phlegm and stuff in here Luckily though I am gonna get go get a flu shot probably tomorrow. I think is when the school is having the flu shots But I'm waiting for some popcorn to pop because I'm gonna have popcorn for a midnight or a late-night snack And I'm just gonna relax tonight. I'm gonna go to the gym tomorrow so I'm gonna pack a bag Tonight so that it's ready to go in the morning and then I was gonna work out tonight, but I'm just exhausted So I work out best either when I know I have a friend that I'm gonna go meet up with and work out at night with which is usually Wednesday Thursday Friday I work out with my friend Becca and Then during the week Monday and Tuesday. I work out after school on my way to pick up Cash today. I had too many errands to run so tomorrow after school. I'm gonna work out So I'm gonna pack a bag so that that's ready and then I'm gonna go to bed early tonight pop some Nyquil so that my throat doesn't hurt and then Hey guys It's 545. I'm ready for work. I'm gonna do my makeup. I get there I'm just gonna pack all my food for the week Monday through Friday, or sorry Tuesday through Friday lunches and Tuesday through Friday breakfast. I don't really need to pack any snacks because my skinny drops These skinny tabs help me not really have any cravings So I don't feel like peckish throughout the day. And then these gummies also help me not really feel like snacky However, if I do feel snacky, I do have like Salami and hummus and stuff in my fridge at school So if I do feel like I need a snack, I have them Almost forgot My sriracha also going to the gym. So I packed a gym bag and then now I need to fill up my gallon I didn't finish it yesterday, but you know what? I got close enough So I'm gonna fill that up feed the dogs and then get on out of here Hey guys, so it is now About 615 on Monday. No Tuesday Tuesday 615 and I am cooking a hello fresh meal Scott is not home tonight, but We have Some hello fresh meals left from last week. So I'm just cooking it up right now so that we don't waste it I'm making the smothered pepper jack burgers with Sweet potato fries I was gonna have My home chef meal, but that one I just bought and it doesn't go bad for a couple days So I'll probably save it for Saturday. Let's see when it expired Doesn't expire till the 23rd So that means I have till tomorrow to make it. So maybe I will make it tomorrow Or maybe I'll just let Scott have it for lunch or I could make it tonight and then that way It's made and it doesn't go bad. I guess I should have maybe checked to see if we had food Before I bought it That's fine. There's like a dog barking Down the road and it's making all the dogs in the neighborhood park. What are you eating? Nuggets mac and cheese Yummy Oh good job Yeah, so after we eat dinner We'll just hang out for a little bit. We'll take baths and then we'll go to bed And then I'm gonna get started on laundry. So I might start laundry while he's like playing Depending on how neat he is. Maybe he can help me with laundry Mucus coming up I'm not talking like soft Slimy either talking about like chunky booger mucus Really nasty. So I Think what I'm gonna do after school today. I have a meeting Probably until four and then I'm gonna go to the gym And then I think I'm gonna take cash an eye to the doctor and Get some antibiotics because he already has a runny nose. So I already know where that's going It's also been tugging at his ears a lot I have suspicions But you know what the great thing is is I don't have any breakfast. I need to prep I don't have any lunch. I need to pack. So I'm gonna go to Starbucks and get one of those blue bomb drinks And that will make me feel better Hello friends. So it is Wednesday evening and Scott is home Which means he is in there reading books to cash before bed And I am putting together some laundry to put in the laundry baskets part of our deal on Our survival in the Valdes house is that Scott does the kitchen and does the dishes every morning So whatever dishes I use at night I just rinse them clean and then I leave them in the sink and then I just kind of pick up But he cleans the kitchen and then I'm responsible for doing all the laundry Cleaning it washing it putting it away hanging it up. So I'm gonna do that tonight But I thought it would be interesting because I have to clean out a pair of his work pants Just to see like what's in his pockets If you guys didn't know my husband is a police officer um, excuse me so he Obviously has a uniform and he keeps a lot of stuff in his pocket. So let's see what's in there. Okay first thing I Don't know what this is. Oh, I think it's one of those like Strops that they use and then this looks like a Key, I don't know It's really in there. Ah The bad makes me want to be like Mmm, I'm a police officer. Okay, the badge is in there Nothing else in that pocket normally he keeps way more in there, but oh This one's a gold mine over here. Oh This is a fingerprint pad whoo flashlight and Keys to I don't know what probably like some kind of like holding cell Something Okay, so funny story my husband and I I probably shouldn't be holding these too close I don't know what's on them my husband and I wear the same size pants So he has really thin skinny legs and like no butt and I have kind of like thicker legs in a butt and His pants fit me perfectly Just getting dinner done Cash and I had a few errands to run after school today. Scott is not here He's actually working an overtime shift. He'll be home at like eight o'clock But I got a few things in the mail That I wanted to share with you guys and then I also had to pick up some prescriptions for cash and I because we're both sick He is spitting out all his food Okay, so first of all I Got my shipment in from lipstick and littles. I'll show you what I got So I ordered Three of her new made-to-teach items. I got myself and one of my co-workers a shirt She loves cheetah or leopard print. So I thought of her. I thought she would love this So I got her one and I got myself one. I got her small got myself a medium. I think Or maybe I got her an extra small. She's teeny tiny. I got her extra small Got myself a small and then I ordered this sweatshirt because I just could not live Without this peach colored sweatshirt How cute is that? And I'm really happy because Ashley my dear Ashley she threw in her made-to-teach stickers So I stuck that to my water bottle And then you guys are gonna totally laugh at me But I ordered this pack of pink stickers and I actually had them in my cart and then my friend Vanessa from my second grade life posted that she bought them So I picked out like ten of them that I really like for myself. I'm gonna put them on my water bottle Probably a few on my laptop my work laptop and my home laptop and then I think I'm gonna give a few to my students because They're like super cute, and I think I like 16 girls I like 16 girls in my class So I know that those stickers will go to wonderful homes, and I only spent like six bucks on them So I can give them a few but yeah, so we're just eating dinner and It's like I said 630 cash is gonna have avocado with chicken nuggets By the way guys, I know I feed him these chicken nuggets like every night. That's literally the only meat he will eat So I give him avocado, and he's gonna have some pasta and then the chicken nuggets He just won't eat any other meat And like he likes cheese, but we're out of cheese right now He eats a lot of yogurt eats a lot of peanut butter So he definitely gets his protein in other ways, but I he loves those chicken nuggets, so I just give them to him I'm not gonna argue with the toddler, you know So he eats good when I feed him though, so I'm gonna give him what he likes I am eating a home chef meal, and I'm really excited about it It's called I think I showed it to you guys earlier in the vlog, but it's baking the oven Look how good that looks Chicken and broccoli, and then I just made some white shells cash loves these. I know they're not the best for you They're like totally bad I mean, they're not organic and they're like super processed, but you guys are delicious So I have a little bit in there for me I'll enjoy that once my meal is done in 10 minutes the home chef meal was like Literally three minutes, and it was prepared The instructions came like that. I just threw it together It came in its own baking pan, and I just threw it in the oven for 20 minutes and my dinner's ready And that was 10 bucks and it serves one person So that's probably the equivalent to like going out to eat, but like your hands Abulita and abulito just left so cash, and I think are gonna go to the mall We're gonna go to the Santan mall, which is like a beautiful outdoor mall here in the Phoenix area Gilbert area So we're gonna go there and just walk around. There's also an indoor playground there that I'd really like to Check out Scott has taken him there a few times, but I've never gotten to take him So I think we're gonna do that and then come home around to Take naps, and then I need to clean this house But you guys you know what like in my last video I noticed how like in the background like my house is a little dirty But you guys this is real life like I am a full-time Working mom I work I'm out of the house 6 a.m. To 4 p.m. So cleaning up is just not on my priority list I mean, yeah, I want my house to look clean and for the most part like my house is clean It's just that there's stuff everywhere because I have a toddler. So I'm not gonna worry about it. I'm not gonna apologize For clutter being the background of my videos because it's just how it is right now like my bedroom I'll show you guys what it looks like It's a mess. I mean we have stuff everywhere Which is why I need to clean up. I mean I have like these This is all clean laundry. These are all clean I like to do my laundry by hanging it up and then putting it away. I have like stuff just I mean There's stuff everywhere Huh? Because I like to spend my time with him instead of cleaning up You want mama to get dressed so we can go? Oh? I'm sorry. Okay. Oh Is this a tantrum Looks like one, huh? Mama to pick you up So that's what we're gonna do. We're gonna go mama's gonna get dressed. Okay, and then we're gonna go to the mall and We're gonna just hang out you and me because daddy's working overtime this morning So we won't see him till midnight tonight So let's go hang out you and me We'll get some lunch That's a truck. Yeah, it doesn't sound like he's saying truck does it? I think I'm gonna go ahead and end the vlog here just because it's Sunday and I have the whole vlog edited already I just have to add these last couple clips in but I hope you guys are enjoying these kind of like different vlogs at home after teaching But I think it's important for people to know that you can be a teacher and a mom it is possible and You can enjoy your children and not have to be working at home And I don't know. I don't know what I'm trying to say, but I'm enjoying filming these I'm enjoying being able to document the days I have with this guy So that I can go back and watch them because it's really important to me to be able to watch things back So anyway, I'll see you guys next week.
