[Music]
hey everybody and welcome to Friday oh
my gosh I cannot believe we are already
at the end of another week it's like wow
come on now we are we are in February
this year is already passing that's why
no ha ha ha before we know we're gonna
be happy new year
um no I just I can't believe how fast
though that it just January just swung
by us so quickly but it's all good it is
all good good stuff um coming on
February like we've talked about before
Omar
um his birthday is on February 7th I'm
so excited I can't believe I'm gonna
have a four-year-old that is just like
it feels like I just was sitting in the
NICU with him a couple days ago although
I would never want to ever replay those
days because that was a very very very
hard time in my life I will honestly say
that was a very dark time for me was
sitting in the NICU with him just
feeling very alone even though my
husband was there and you know Jeremiah
was there is just I really wished there
was certain people there that weren't
there and it it breaks my heart that I
didn't have the support that I thought I
would have especially during such a
scary time in the sense that you know
when you're you know when you have a
baby and you have him in the NICU it's
like you know he's on harp you know
monitors which he wasn't on like any
type of breathing machines or anything
like that
his lungs were very strong but even just
the whole atmosphere of you know sitting
in the NICU or a NICU and hearing babies
crashing
and you know hearing stories of babies
passing that were right next to you and
stuff like that it's not easy so I would
never want to replay those days but I am
so thankful for those days at the same
time I know kind of curiosity there um
I've had quite a few people email me
asking me like how they could send Omar
birthday gifts and I don't personally
have a peel box yet I know I know that
is something that I need to do because I
have been asked so many times the
procrastinator I haven't done it but the
only one way that I can think of having
it be able to be sent is I do have an
Amazon wishlist which I've told you guys
about in the past slowly been made just
because I've been asked to make it for
people to be able to buy my family gifts
which I don't expect anybody to buy as
gifts but I know that there are people
out there that enjoy buying things and I
you know I mean we're very grateful for
everything that we our sin don't get me
wrong but it's just like I'm not used to
accepting things because I'm a giver
myself but with that with so many
messages coming through asking how they
would be able to get some gifts to Omar
for his birthday I figured what I could
do is put some things on Amazon wishlist
and you guys are more than welcome to
get him some gifts that way if that
would work better for you guys for
people that want to do it I'm not
expecting people to do it
I you know please don't get me wrong but
I've just had so many messages of like
the almost the exact same question so I
figured I would just make it a video
will not make a video but put it in
today's vlog that I will just add some
things to my Amazon wish list for GEOMAR
specifically so if you guys would like
to buy him gifts great if you don't want
to you don't have to don't feel
obligated it's definitely not some
that were expecting so anyways I just
wanted to kind of shine light on that
part that I can't believe my baby's
gonna be four and just shortly less than
a week in fact we're gonna I think go
today and order his birthday cake for us
when we do our birthdays before you know
when before we had the babies you know
Maya's birthdays were just like all
blowout birthdays I mean we paid a
couple hundred bucks for those birthdays
and we would spend like three to five
hundred dollars on you know Christmas on
birthday gifts and you know we kind of
lost sight of what birthdays really are
about which is celebrating another
amazing year that you have got to spend
with each other and so as you know we've
had you know the the two babies on top
of it you know mean Ollie really were
discussing like you know different
things about birthdays and seeing the
dynamic of our children and how they
kind of react to birthday parties and
just celebrations in general so what
we've started doing now is we personally
we don't throw actual birthdays well
honey that would be out with your dad we
don't celebrate actual like birthday
parties I mean we celebrate birthdays
don't get me wrong I don't we don't
throw big birthday bashes where we
invite a whole bunch of people and make
it a big ol deal because in reality a
birthday is for the person that birthday
is for and we just like to make it all
about them for the day and so they get
to especially the babies don't get to
really choose because you know they're
little but Maya is to choose what he
wants to do for that day he gets to
choose what kind of dinner he wants
whether he wants us to make him a dinner
or go out to dinner and then he gets a
couple of gifts and we of course we do
birthday cake and stuff like that and
just make the day so special for him and
then because he's in school we also do
cupcakes for his class so that's always
exciting as we take the birthday cupcake
except they so you know sing happy
birthday to them and make you know it's
just he gets double birthdays actually
in that direction so that's kind of nice
although last year he didn't want us to
do it I was like as my son getting too
old for this that's not cool that's cool
so for Omar I think we've discussed
taking him to Chuck E Cheese because now
that you know all he took them and they
seem to like it take them there and then
oh my godness okay you guys can go play
while mama talks okay thank you so take
them to Chuck E Cheese or take ya take
the kids to Chuck E Cheese let them play
and stuff and then we could either have
pizza there or you know whatever he
wants which he could care less and then
come home and do cake and just enjoy our
afternoon with him so that's kind of
what I'm thinking um I don't know a
hundred percent but it'll be a definite
special day for just him and so I'm
really excited I can't wait I'm just
like oh I'm feeling old I'll be 38 this
year so people say I feel like or people
say I'm a baby
like I'm still baby I feel like I'm
getting old because I'm starting to get
gray hair and I don't like that girl boy
don't like that um so anyways that's
kind of what I did and then yes our uh
let's see yesterday I started working
really hard on orders and then today
today was my scheduled day to do story
time which Ollie got called out for work
told you guys sometimes that will happen
so you guys get me today it's not a bad
thing I don't know
but anyways so I worked on a couple of
the orders yesterday and then today
because I had my cutout time I was
officially able to finish one two three
four four orders which is really good
because sometimes they could take a
little bit of time but I was able to
finish them and then I also got done
with life by Jen's merch
line so I'm so excited she has been so
patient on me uh I was supposed to have
this done like weeks ago and it just
seems like every day something happened
I couldn't get it done but I was just
like adamant about sitting down and
getting it done today so I did and I'm
so excited because she gets to launch
her stuff and I'm so excited so you guys
will see her video pop up on my channel
but definitely definitely make sure that
you guys check it out it links from my
channel because I'm off obviously I'm
the designer so I link it to my channel
and then it goes to her channel also she
will have a Facebook page with under
life by Jen as well that you guys can
put orders in but definitely between
pink Fairy and life by Jen those are the
two that I'm doing March lines for at
this point definitely check them out and
when you guys purchase from them they it
it helps support their channel in so
many ways one is it's a great
advertisement too they get a beneficial
amount of the money that goes towards
you know things that they could use to
benefit their channel so definitely keep
that in mind as you're you know looking
at the merchandise that these are things
to help support their amazing channels I
love their channels and I love them as
person just their own person I love them
both so definitely keep that in mind so
I do have pink fairy and then I also
have life bye Jen both of their Channel
channel March videos will be linked in
my description every single time that I
upload their merch line will be in my
description
and as well as their page their Facebook
page and I am the runner of both but
they are both adamant to both of their
own pages so definitely keep that in
mind and if you guys have any questions
feel free to message me I have my my
phone number and then I also have which
I do want to make this kind of clear to
everybody is I rarely answer my phone I
rarely rarely will answer my phone the
way to contact me is through text
message if you're gonna contact my phone
number is through text message please
because I rarely like I said I do not
answer my phone
so mmm that is just uh that's a thing
for me I just don't talk on the phone so
unless I absolutely have to I usually do
text message um but my personal phone
number is in there as well so that you
guys can contact me that way if that is
an easier way to put an order through
all order avoid invoices go through
PayPal I can do invoices through
Facebook Messenger so I do have that
option as well but I prefer to do PayPal
if that's you know if you have the
account I'd prefer to do through PayPal
it's just easier and it's more
convenient for me because it goes
straight to my my account so anyways and
I can keep everything separate but
either way it doesn't matter just
however you guys want to do it but I
just definitely wanted to put that out
there that you guys please check out
both of their merch lines and support
our beautiful wonderful women that have
amazing channels I'm talking about
channels goodness you guys goodness
gotten us do you ever get where you
watch reruns like if you are watching
like Everybody Loves Raymond and you
watch the reruns over and over and over
and you're like oh my god how many more
times can I watch this rerun because
it's really game boring it's kind of how
YouTube is hitting right now with me and
I don't know why I well I dunno why but
I don't know how much you guys all are
involved with YouTube and maybe I'm just
stuck in a circle and I don't know maybe
I'm just like in a hamster ball and I'm
just seeing the same things but you know
I understand there's channels out there
that do reviews I get it a hundred
percent understand that and I'm not at
all bashing those channels at all I
absolutely 100% support review channels
however with that being said sometimes
you know reviewers really need to keep
in mind that us as youtubers were human
we are just like you we breathe the same
air we eat the same type of food we walk
the same walk we are all human some do
better some don't some have a certain
lifestyle that some don't but I feel
like sometimes reviewers forget that and
I think that sometimes reviewers they
get stuck in the same rut for so long
that when they do their reviews they
repeat themselves over and over and over
again and it's like I have a couple
reviewers that I watch and it's like oh
my god when you see the the title you're
just like nevermind not even gonna watch
it's gonna be the same repeat over again
and it gets old it really just gets old
and you know sometimes the reviewers can
be very harsh and very rude and very
just abusive and it's like why what are
you gonna get out of it okay so
maybe your channel might grow by a few
numbers because you're reviewing a
channel that maybe they're having some
problems right now and again I'm not
shooting you know I'm not shooting shame
towards channels that do reviews that's
again that's not what I'm saying
I don't mind review channels I guess I
just wish that people would keep in mind
that everybody is human and we all have
our flaws we all have our days where we
fall short am i saying that every
youtuber is perfect and that they don't
do things shady absolutely not
I know there are but it's like after
it's been talked about it's like okay
let's get let's get on let's give you
know let's let's find something else to
talk about but I've been watching like I
swear there has probably been about 10
channels talking about the same youtuber
and it's like come on and I just it's so
like getting boring like I'm finding
myself like not even enjoying watching
YouTube these reviewers because it's
like it's a different day but same topic
and I don't understand what it is that
they're trying to say or promote because
they're just repeating themselves and so
I just I last night I was sitting there
and then this today I've been you know
trying to find different things to watch
on YouTube which I found a few really
cool things to watch but it's just like
I feel bad in a way for some of these
youtubers that are just catching so much
crap for just stupid things that they
either did or said or you know whatever
happened but it's like you know when you
drop a piece of bread and like a million
ants within seconds are all over that
little crumb
that's how sometimes I feel like YouTube
works but anyways I just feel like you
know kind of like that like you see a
crumb drop and like a million ants are
on that crumb like no other within
seconds and that's kind of how I feel
like with YouTube it's like a YouTube
channel can say or do
or move one wrong way and like it's not
just one or two review channels it's
like 20 to 30 review channels and
they're all saying the same thing and
it's like come on really find new
content do something get a little bit
you know like original like find
something more to do than just doing
reviews on the same channel over and
over and over again because you can only
repeat yourself so many times before I'm
sure people are just gonna be like ok
nevermind well now you're gonna waste my
time because it's gonna be the same
thing I could probably say exactly word
for word what's gonna be said so I'm not
throwing shade on anybody don't get me
wrong I'm not
I am very mutual I stay in the middle I
don't get in the middle of anybody's
beef because I really could care less
that is not the point of what I am
saying what I am saying though is that
YouTube is getting boring because I feel
like so many channels are talking about
the same thing and it's like come up
with your own ideas do your own thing
talk about your own stuff like stop
repeating what other people are saying
because we're only gonna keep hearing it
so many times and by the time we're done
we ain't gonna be watching you no more
because it's just gonna become the same
repeats over and over and over so don't
be an ant
you know don't don't attack that piece
of bread crumb on the ground let it be
let it be
and move on find something new go find a
different crumb but stop following the
one crumb that everybody's following
please please please anyways and what
else I know I was there was multiple
things going through my mind through my
mind
yeah but that was just one that was
really
hitting me was that I'm just like
burnout and I'm not the only one I see
other comments that are people make like
come on you guys like let's kind of
strike it up let's let's make a move
here let's do something different
let's pray let's review some other
channels and the thing is that I don't
believe that reviewers need to only
review negative like I I feel like
that's the only thing that they do
though is I feel like a majority of what
I see I could be wrong but for the
reviewers I've watched majority of them
are on negative feed and I don't know I
thought reviewers are supposed to review
everything good bad pretty ugly and
everything in between but I feel like
really the only thing that I see when it
comes to reviewing is like all the
negative things about a certain youtuber
that is being reviewed and then like I
said then it's just like a chain link
thing it just goes you know one person
picks up a channel and then that's like
multiple multiple multiple multiple
channels are saying the same
same thing so I just you know for any of
my reviewers out there I know I have a
few on my channel that are review
channels you guys spice it up a little
bit
check out some other channels and see
what you guys could come up with but I
think just reviewing the same channels
every single day and the same I mean
it's almost like when the YouTube or put
something out it's like BAM you know
there's gonna be like 40 videos of
reviews and you can probably bet over
half if not most will be all negative
negative review negative pointing
everything out negative that they could
point out so let's become the positive
person in the world let's let's do
positive reviews and let's change up the
reviews let's drop some of these
youtubers that have been being reviewed
and let's go on to new reviews new
people let's give other people that need
some attention some attention but let's
like change this up a little bit because
I just feel like it's just becoming
repetitious and it's it's like I feel
like it's high school really not that I
went to high school but for the stories
that I hear it sounds like high school
[Laughter]
anyways I hope you guys enjoyed hearing
how my scheduling is gonna be and
honestly I'm really excited because I
feel like even yesterday and seen today
me really putting in efforts to follow
my schedule and see exactly what is
expected of our family it just I felt
like my home ran pretty fairly calm for
the most part um you know I had my
certain cut out time like I said that I
worked and I felt like I had that whole
time you know I turned on some quiet you
know music and I just worked and I was
able just to just I have some downtime
and I would love to and I think that
there's a few apps that I could probably
download for audiobooks I would love to
get some audiobooks that I can listen to
as well because I think that that would
be a great opportunity
as well to do some just read not reading
obviously as my eyeballs I'm reading it
but um listening I know that um I know
that there's podcasts that I can listen
to you so I want to look up some more
podcast and see like um some positive
podcast that I could watch our listen to
sometimes I catch up on my TV shows
during the time that I'm working but
sometimes that's hard because I want to
get involved in the video or into the
show and so I start watching it and
forget what I'm doing I'm like ah but I
need to like you know sometimes just
maybe I don't know I don't know maybe
full a phone around or something so it
sounds like a podcast nope but um I want
to get some pauses so if you guys have
any positive podcast that you guys
listen to or any really interesting ones
that would be great I would love love
love some ideas of podcast and maybe
some audio book ideas I don't know like
where to even go for that I I do have
Amazon so I don't know if they have like
an audiobook Amazon thing I've never
really even looked into that I was it
mainly just hit my mind today so I
haven't done like any research on it but
I would love to do that I'm still doing
which sitting Aradia daily our daily
reading um sitting right here I love my
book it just my mazing thing um let's
see what is today's so yesterday's was
save some of you for you which was a
great one today's us give your gift
freely and confidently the ones who need
it will accept it and appreciate its
value others will toss it in the corner
unopened their loss just share your gift
that is your purpose wow I just love
this like I am just
it's so true though like you can only do
what you can do and hope that everybody
you know either accepts it or they can
toss it you know and that's kind of how
it is with even like my channel you know
some things I say some people it's like
irrelevant to them like they're just
like okay I don't know what this is
supposed to be though and then other
ones they really find that true
information and it's just like oh my god
like this really just touched me and it
just they opened up the entire gift and
view the entire message that I'm putting
across so I mean that really is very
straightforward for exactly how I am is
you either are gonna take it or you're
gonna leave it but I'm hoping more than
then not that everybody takes and opens
up every gift that I put out because
each message I feel has some point of a
meaning some most main means are because
of something I'm going through
personally but a lot of what I'm going
through so many people are going through
so that's always a good thing um anyways
so tomorrow is me time I'm not exactly
sure what I'm gonna do cuz I don't know
really what the weather is gonna be so I
don't know I know they're calling for a
major cold front they're actually saying
that there could be snow in the forecast
for Monday and I am NOT looking forward
to that absolutely not I do not want
snow and I know I'm complaining I don't
even have snow and here I talk to people
that are like in Michigan and you know
Nebraska and they've got like a summer
in Chicago and they're like yeah right
Amy
you better stop your whining when
they've got snow coming up to their nose
tips um but yeah I don't me and snow
don't mix especially because I won't go
out in it
because if I was to fall literally we
would have we'd probably have to call
the fire department to come and get me
up because there is no way of picking me
up off that ground without some major
help so yeah we don't need snow in the
forecast we really don't we've not
made it we all I mean we've made it this
far but the forecast guy said that our
cold front is what we should have had in
December I'm like oh my god really so we
shall see so I'm not sure exactly what
tomorrow entitles I know that there's a
few things that I have to get done
tomorrow but I really want some me time
so I'm not sure where that's gonna land
but we will definitely have some at some
point tomorrow so anyways I'm gonna
close my vlog and I will check in with
you guys tomorrow remember oh I guess I
should probably say that I need to put
in put my weight here I'll place it
right here hello pretty
[Music]
big point big yes as you guys see I keep
going up a few down a few up a few down
a few so what I am doing is me and Ollie
sat down today earlier and we made our
no-carb mill list so I'm gonna be pretty
much either low to zero carbs for the
rest of the month and we're gonna see
what we can do because Amy needs to
uplift my are like re
I think restart my whole body channel
here and see what's going on because I
will lose a few and then I just go up
those few and go down those for you and
go up those for you and I'm just like
know what we're not going the same
direction I want to go so we will start
tomorrow doing zero carbs to low carbs
but pretty much zero carbs to the best
of my ability and see where that's gonna
take us so anyways I am gonna close here
you guys I hope you guys had an amazing
Friday and a great start to your guys's
weekend
I will check in with you guys first
thing and the Mon in until then sweet
dreams you guys bye bye
