things that he needed to do and then
when I get out of counseling
then I will we're gonna head up to
Portland so anyways I am oh oh well I've
got one minute to get there and we're
like do seconds away but I just wanted
to check in say official good morning
and yes I did do my nails again last
night
look at how they turned out so pretty
I'm absolutely loving them so it's just
like a gel polish over them really
pretty
anywho so I will check them with you
guys when I get out of counseling and
fill you in with how it went so we
stopped by really quick at this place
it's called easy orchard and it's like a
place where it's pumpkin it's a pumpkin
patch slash everything they sell Donuts
they do all of it it is such a cute
little store I love it here but I just
got out of counseling a little bit ago
so I will fill you guys in with what we
talked about and what is the things that
we're going to be working towards and on
there was a lot more than I could
probably share right now so I will
definitely fill you guys didn't know it
definitely is it was a good session very
good session so now we are sitting here
Ollie went in really quick to go and get
the kids some donuts they like the
donuts from here they're apple cider
donuts they're very good but mommy won't
eat none today because yeah they're too
naughty but my babies can have them
so we are that's it so anywho I will
check on with you guys in a little bit
we're gonna head up to Portland and so I
will try and do a little bit of videoing
there okay you guys so we just left
Ollie's little place that he needed to
go for his business stuff but we are in
Portland Oregon and I thought this would
be an amazing time to show you guys a
little drive from here from Portland
back into Salem so I am just gonna flip
the phone around and I'm going to turn
on some glorious music and let you guys
see what we're seeing

getting home me and only ended up
swapping we had to go to the yard and go
get a car so me and the kids came home
earlier because I had to pick up my up
from school so that is what we are doing
but I just want to check in with you
guys I am going to actually Maya's going
to help me he is going to help me move
the shelf in to the room so that's
exciting because then I could start
putting my stuff up on the shelf and
decorating it so that'll be a lot of fun
anyways I just want to check in with you
guys and let you know we are home just
change diapers and going to put away
this mountain of laundry mountain of
laundry and no espera please don't and
just work on my stuff so I will show you
guys this I'm working on it so we are
just leaving them all we picked out the
most beautiful comforter set for the bed
I am so excited to see it on there and
it has multiple colors which we for the
last how many years has it been that
we've had that white one
25 years I'll say easily at least yeah
probably close to that and it's it's
well over its expiration date so hold on
baby
so we got that and then and then we of
course have your mama something so we
got me some 90s and I'll show them to
you guys they look like they're gonna be
really comfy and warm during wintertime
which will be nice and then hold on okay
and then we got the kids each a Disney
stuffed animal they always have like
some type of stuffed animal in the
middle of the aisle for five bucks and
so for five dollars you know I mean come
on so we went ahead and let them get one
of those because Omar was wanting
something that was a lot more expensive
which was a ciear yeah not happening not
tonight it was a remote-control kind I
don't think they're coming this way
so anyways and then we're gonna go Holly
is gonna treat us to Mexican food so
that's gonna be a nice treat we have not
eaten out in months
so here will be a nice little treat to
have something good Oh what was that
again babe there's never a dull moment
with my husband um anyways so I will
check in with you guys when we get to
the restaurant we're gonna run home
really quick and drop this stuff off
and then head to the restaurant so I'll
see you guys there so I just thought I
would show you guys a little bit of this
setup he's so pretty here this is one of
my favorite places
the workers are so nice the servers are
amazing the food is awesome and it's
just I like how it has like little tiny
rooms so you don't feel like you're so
overwhelmed in such a big restaurant so
that always makes it nice but anyways
I'm going to show you the family they're
just the man of the house look at her
pretty hello what are you are we gonna
eat dinner
show me your chips hey what do you have
you have crayons oh you're gonna color
definitely over in all these slide and
I'm gonna have a teeth of course no soda
yeah thought I would just show you guys
I'll show you more of what we get when
we order you know we got the same thing
with the shrimp chicken and this up I
cannot have that stuff let's see what
our kiddos get so you got hamburger and
fries honey do you like your food so
we're gonna eat now you like your fries
[Music]
yeah so we are actually just getting
home from the restaurant and you guys I
didn't even vlog the amount of food that
I ate but let me tell you before when I
would go to the Mexican restaurant say
Mexican restaurant we go to all the time
usually before I used to get it was
called koyla crema I want to say this
it's like a sauce with chicken and it's
really good but it's heavy cream and I
used to get that and then if I didn't
get something like that I would always
get like the big macho burrito and
tonight I can successfully say that I
did order the trio fajita which is the
chicken shrimp and steak and I had to
corn little tortillas that I put just
enough of the little bit of shrimp and a
little bit of chicken a little bit of
steak and I only two little ones of
those I had a little bit of beans that I
put in the tortilla I
none of my rice and literally I had
enough to bring home for Olli for dinner
tomorrow night that's how much I ate I
really did not even need that much and I
am stuffed
beyond measures but I told him like nope
we're not taking a home for me because
tomorrow I'm not gonna do that like you
know it was a nice treat to eat out but
this isn't an everyday thing like I said
before we have not this is the first
time we have eaten out in over four
months if not longer than that so I am
totally not aggravated with myself or
anything in that matter I just you know
I really felt good you know and I felt
like I owned the experience because I
was able to go and enjoy myself and you
know not fixate on oh my gosh how much
you can't eat I just ate until s rot
uh-uh no no my chopsticks anyways but I
didn't fix he ate about oh my gosh how
much am I gonna eat what are my calories
in it I didn't do that tonight I just
went to enjoy myself with my family and
enjoy the nice experience and not fixate
on diet and I honestly can say I walked
away from that experience of feeling
very very very well we did get an
appetizer which we always do but this
time I did not eat much of it I just had
a little bit but it was just you know
nice to have something of it okay you
need to wait a minute
and I had a little bit of chips with
salsa but you know again it wasn't
nearly what I would use to eat and I
told all eaten I was like honey I think
you're gonna be rolling me out of this
place because I am stiffed he's like Amy
that's not good I'm like I know I
couldn't stop eating though um but I
feel good I feel really good um oh I was
gonna show you so at Kohl's
when we went today um let's see
so my husband and sis did that I got
myself a couple pajamas and I'm like
honey you don't have to he's like no
you're going to Mike how sweet house
which is my husband so he got me these
nighties they're long-sleeved I hold on
just a second
I mean honestly we we got him really for
a good deal and I felt bad though
because I was like oh my gosh I don't
want I mean we went there originally to
get him a comfortable which we didn't um
I will if I get a chance
Oh chill um if I get a chance I will
show you guys the comforter is so pretty
um hi oh he put it on so I'll show you
but this one was ok so originally the
item was 209 ninety-nine then it's on
sale price for $99.99 plus we got a $20
20% off so we got it for $79.99 let me
show you what it looks like we're going
into a dark dungeon to room I don't know
if you guys have ever seen my bed this
is my bedroom part of this is my bed
this is my bed my princess bed but of
course I don't sleep in it
not right now yet but anyways so you
look at this bedding though for $79 you
guys okay how thick that is look at the
colors I am in and it really does go
really pretty with the topping and then
he got these sheets from Costco and
they're so comfortable but yeah loving
it goes for this room he's like yeah
that's fine I love him he's such a sweet
man
anyways but yeah that is the comforter
set and let me tell you for $79 209 you
can't beat that and the one that we have
now it's a straight white one and I did
it on purpose because when I got that
one originally I was gonna do my room
all white and all even he sleeps like
and I don't know if it's just him or
what but he lets off like almost well he
sweats beautifully when he sleeps it can
be zero degrees out and him and Omar saw
it all night long so and in fact Omar
will wake up in the middle of night
every single night like two or three
times a night to drink water because he
sweats not bad
and so the white has turned to like a
dingy color and he hates it because it's
clean we bleach it but the bleach
doesn't even do anything so this one is
gonna obviously really make sure that it
doesn't have any type of look to it and
the sheets that he bought are so nice
he's so lucky he's got such an amazing
eye I don't I don't sleep in here so I
literally I mean right now I don't even
have a sheet on the mattress I just have
my brown blanket which my bed this bed
needs to be made but I don't sleep in
here I just literally come in here and
sit and do like my crafts and my
vlogging and stuff but I don't sleep in
here because I can't sleep on a flat bed
due to my back so for me it's I'm still
in a recliner right now so but he
definitely had me help pick out the
cover because he's like soon enough
you're gonna be in this bed with me
sleeping so I wanted to know what you
want to wear or what you want to wear
what you want to sleep with and I was
like I like this one because it's a man
and a woman kind of you know it's not
too muscular but it's not too finiman
you know and I can build off of that
with a bedroom scene that would be
really pretty so I am excited I'm gonna
work on his room some and get some DIY
stuff up for him
I think that he would really like that
and yeah other than that we just had a
day of on-the-go um I really don't know
where this flew fruit flies I'm feeding
you no fruit in here no food food
anyways uh tomorrow I have to call first
thing in the morning to get a same-day
appointment with my doctor's because he
wants to see me sooner rather than later
so I have to call first thing in the
morning at 7:30
I told Holly I'm like I really hope and
pray that they give me some sort of a
decent time that they're gonna have me
come in so I really don't want to go in
at like 8:30 in the morning not my cup
of tea
but if I have to I have to UM but
anyways so yeah that's it oh I got my
shoes you guys whoo there was something
that I was missing
let me see if I can stand this up I
don't know where my my phone holder is
that that's why I've been holding my
phone every single day lately because I
don't know where my um my phone thing is
and I'm not about to go and buy a new
one
Oh see what that work I did get the
shirt I don't know if it's gonna fit
says it's a 5x but ya know so what'd you
get what'd you buy things on Amazon I
never have luck with Amazon clothing so
I don't know I am this is definitely not
5x friendly so I really don't have any
idea and if it doesn't fit me that craps
going back because I paid $16.99 for it
and I'm not gonna sit here and not her
shirt that I can wear
so we'll see I'm gonna try it on but I
have a funny feeling it's like my other
shirt no clue words out it was down here
it's floating around on this but
somewhere but I think it's almost like
that material if not the same brand but
I did give my shoes so let's see how I
was gonna risk because if I don't try on
the shoe you never know they're called
jolly Jolly pop jelly pop comfort in
insole comfort insole squeeze me oh
[Music]
maybe because it's a it's not okay it's
not the stretchy back like it's supposed
to be though it said that he had a a
band around it no it doesn't
[Music]
I can try it and see okay so I have one
on and what that noise is it is so
comfortable but this one for some reason
they cannot get the back up on it but
it's just a matter of me positioning it
and it will go up so these I really
think will be a winner once but I'll
just have to not manipulate it for a
little bit and play with it and I'll get
it to work no I'm not worried about it
but I want to show you guys oh and that
other shirt that I was telling you
[Music]
because this - I wanna say it's like a
5x and so you know 5x it's more like a
2x I mean honestly it goes over me but
it is tight so I don't know I mean this
one might surprise me and totally fit me
but oh you guys know I'll try it on
better and show you guys if it's doable
I'll show you what it looks like so
broken nail putting my shoe on good
times
anyways all right you guys I'm gonna
close my vlog so I can go take showers I
am so hot sticky and ready for bed so
anyways I hope hope hope hope you guys
enjoyed my book today and I will check
in with you guys tomorrow bright and
shiny let you guys know when my doctor's
appointment is yay until then sweet
dreams you guys bye bye I wanted to
thank you guys so much everyone of you

my heart skip a beat and me sing a song

this is also your guys's channel and
that's why I get so excited because I
know that you guys are getting to meet
new people just like I am so anyways I
just wanted to thank you guys so much
for all of the support encouragement
excuse her she is not the support I need
right now but anyways I just want to
thank you guys from the bottom of my
heart for all of the support that you
guys give me this is an amazing
opportunity that you guys have also
helped me reach from the bottom of my
heart for helping me reach 600
subscribers without you this would have
never happened and I get so excited
excited my heart jump my heart skips a
beat and I sing a song when I'm seeing
these numbers keep going up and up and
up I cannot thank you guys enough for
the encouragement to continue this
channel the support that I get from each
and every one of you and not just
because of me but you guys all are
supporting each other as well there are
so many people that have made amazing
friendships off of this channel and I've
made just as many amazing friendships
and I couldn't imagine life without my
channel no more and you know there are
days where it does get tough there are
days that I would rather just stay in
bed but because of you guys it makes me
get up and it makes me want to go and do
things it makes me want to push and
reach further to where I want to go in
life because I see the
encouragement and that makes me feel so
so good and so I just want to thank you
guys so much for all of the hard work
that you've all helped me with because I
just see this channel continuing to grow
and I want to see as many people as I
can be on this channel and get the same
things that I get and you get which is
all the support that everybody is able
to give to one another even sometimes
you know sometimes support encouragement
doesn't come off as the most nicest
thing but sometimes it's the truth and
that's why I said don't ever be afraid
to bring something to my attention
whether you think it might be a rude
comment I still take every comment that
is given to me as a learning topic of
some sort and I use everything and put
it into aspect and maybe there are some
things that don't fit was my timeline of
where I'm at in life and that's okay not
everybody is gonna have the same
thoughts but we all are open and allowed
to say whatever we want on this channel
as long as we're being encouragement
encouraging and supporting each other
and you know being careful to one
another's feelings because I would never
want somebody to be hurt by somebody
else's comments nor do I want to be hurt
by somebody else's comments and so far I
have never received that because again
all of you guys are amazing so thank you
again you guys I really truly truly
truly from the bottom of my heart thank
