Let's Recuperate! Grocery Haul, Meal Plan, & Routine Update | Vlogmas 2024

[Music] oh he's a strong kid good morning we're so heavier here we are doing vlogmas this year so if you like this video we hope you'll come back tomorrow it's just me and the baby at home this morning Teddy had an appointment and James's at school Peter's taking the day off with just making sure I'm feeling better which I am um we watched spirited today we went on a walk I'm like what it's such a funny feeling to be like what do I do it's just the baby here there is the backpack actually we're still spirit is still on right now um this is the backpack that I packed for teddy with snacks and all that good stuff for the doctor but they got a make a little mourning out of the appointment Teddy has been a little bit nervous at doctors lately even when it's not his and he's like there with me and the kids they picked up food on the go as a little you know treat for doing a good job um and yeah they went to Target and um they're going to get James we also just got out the train that Santa brought the boys last year for Christmas I don't think we were vlogging then so we wouldn't have been able to show how cool it is it makes its own Steam it's got a light if look if you look round and round Ted goes a little train can you hear that it's the Casey Jr part of Dumbo we were playing with the trains our wooden set and then our Christmas tree set um and then Teddy was coming along with me to get the groceries and so we picked a movie with the train because he was very sad to leave the train and so that's what just Casey Jr sounds like something else now that like more now that like I have a better like feeling as like the day gone on I do feel better than yesterday I'm actually kind of convinced that the cyst might ruptured last night it wasn't I've had cysts before I know that sometimes it can be super super painful I had like a couple of like more severely painful moments nothing excruciating but definitely like more uncomfortable than I was during the day yesterday and so like after I got home I was like on my feet more you know taking care of the kids obviously Peter was doing like most of the like more like taxing tasks but I don't know last night I just felt a little bit weird and like crummy at one point and so I'm curious if it did rupture because the doctor said that I would get relief after that which makes sense cuz it's not like pressing and weighing and doing all that um but I'm also on pain medication so I don't know overall it's been a good day really chill we're going to keep it chill um until the weekend and I'm I'm very happy this obviously threw off this week a lot but I was just worried that like something like a surgery or a hospital stay at all like kind of would have thrown off the holidays um so I'm just like I'm feeling very fortunate that we've just been able to like manage this are you tired am yeah we had another silly night of sleep it was a wind that everyone slept from 4:00 to 7 no 4 to 7 no 3 to 7 or 4 to 7 3 to S yeah um cuz I thought I was just want to leave James and I like turned over to get on he said James well Teddy fell out of bed and so we watched Frosty the Snowman at like 3:00 a.m. to get Spirits back um I'm going to do a little grocery haul look at these Jazzy pastas I'm excited about those this bag is not I I was like no wait this bag is full of tree I'm so sad for somebody else it's so happy ground what doing coffee I'm we have to them and let them know I only see four this is no there's some in the front seat too that's only in the front seat oh I'm so sorry there's there's a whole back seat full I thought I was done so we just had such a CLE one we probably are missing a bag if we have somebody else's bag two I didn't tell Peter that there was also bags in the trunk cuz usually we have the stroller in the trunk and I just have them load the front seat so that's just from the front seat so we'll have to see if we got everything or not but I'll start the haul I'm going to use this new toy that Charlie got for Christmas from my sister as my tripod all right I got a lot of pasta because I thought that these were different to be honest I thought well I I probably could use them I was thinking I'm going to make scuff shells for Christmas Eve and I thought that these were shells but they are Luma coni I can still probably stuff these so two of these guys I have a little bit of issues today with my mobile order like I think that I didn't even tell you this I think that that was like worse 's the phone I thought you were like talking like that to Charlie and I was like I'm all for like over enunciating yeah dang so sometimes you have no you know refunds or no exchanges I understand that it's like I'm asking somebody to do this for me and that like it's a privileged thing and yada yada but sometimes things go wonderfully and then sometimes there's a little bit of miscommunication or sometimes you like you can just like see how they're shopping and I don't know whatever so sometimes it's great sometimes it's average and sometimes it's not so great today I had for some reason I had so many what's the word Replacements on my order was this like zingy ginger dressing and I said can you just replace it with another dressing and this is zesty Italian dressing like this is just like my what I make all the time like with my own ingredients so like I I just don't buy this I was hoping it would be something a little bit more similar to that oh well okay all the tomatoes we got some roma tomatoes we got some grape tomatoes another thing of grape tomatoes and apples you got some strawberries got some raspberries I've been pretty good about making my little yogurt and I love rber we got an Italian salad I don't know if I ordered that Caesar salad kit king of K SL I'm going to be making shrimp tacos and then whenever I get a bag of COA cuz like we typically only eat like a small portion I always try to incorporate the co slot into other things that I plan on making um do like the new artwork that we got today um so we're doing like a barbecuey something or other so I got Co sloft for that it can go in like the Greek bowls I plan on doing that I never ended up doing last week I love this selfless chopped salad kit so much you that I figured that this would just be like a good lunch um or maybe just a good side and like a chill day then this is their sweet Cal chopped salad it's basically the salad that I had been making last week but with more cabbage um it's basically it says Cal but it's like mostly cabbage bummer I ran out of my dressing like my sweet dressing and so that's why I went with the the ginger one so that I could like make different types of salads this week for lunch cuz like I kind of got like sweet salad it out but I love it so much that I thought that it would be nice to have with a dinner I thought it would compliment the pork roast well um so I just got one cuz I knew that we would like it but I just I just didn't want to eat the sweet salad like all week again um but now I'm going to have to figure out what I'm going to do because I don't have the ginger salad dressing sorry I'm like thinking out loud because I also like kind of built this Al the order over 3 days because I planned on actually I started it Monday night you saw in that Vlog the sign off and then yesterday we were a little bit busy that wasn't the priority and then I finished the grocery order this morning so I feel like my brain is still like connecting like what did I plan for this week um I'm hoping to show like the little loose schedule I was talking about on Monday as well as our meal plans at some point in this Vlog so this is helping me get my brain together and then I also got a little thing of blueberries we've uhoh Charlie's spilling his water here is the C I was talking about um then yeah mushrooms I'm going to make a plant-based maybe I don't know if I'm going to use milk and cheese or not yet um so vegetarian for sure like shepherd's pie I mean I guess it isn't Shepherd cuz that means lamb right like I'm going to make a pot pie like a Hardy pot pie but it's like mushroom and lils you need cucumbers everybody loves those so I just love when Aldi has these like artisanal pastas you don't always see them so I got these like massive spirally guys um I was just thinking like with the holiday coming up I do have plans for dinners but I also just feel like if we need something quick instead of eating out to just make butter noodles make an easy sauce make pesto like I just think that having good pasta on hand this week will be good then I really liked this coconut Chia granola cereal with the yogurt that was a win so I got more on that got some P chips for a dip I got remember we talked last week during the grocery haul about like having a little treat so that you know in a pinch you have something on hand to treat on to treat on to snack on um I got a dick somewhere I think I got crab rangon dick um so these are chips for that and then we were out at quinoa so I got this we out of black beans the other day when I was making those taco bowls I really wanted to make black beans to go on them I didn't have any and usually like these are like Pantry Staples for us and we didn't have any so I got two of those this was like an ANM purchase mushroom risoto I was just thinking another like easy thing to ensure oh some reject some stuff I took out of the fridge I've just been putting on Jam's chair so he's moving it back up um easy on the go side so I got the barbecue pork roast with this and that sweet salad so like at like all of those things are going to be cooked at home but they're like pre-seasoned this is just a quick stove top premix bag so it's just you know a little easier this as the holiday mirrors and then applesauce pouches um I've never tried these before I went like trying to get like a little bit more creative with our snacks and the boys love dried cranberries so I thought I might as well try these dried blueberries and then I got dark chocolate morsels cuz we are going to bake cookies this is more that's not ours this person is going to be sad they were going to you have all of our stuff I don't know I'm still doing the hul done theou Co butter cookies Sarah these are your dreams these are your dream this is Christmas for you well if the kind all these I got these single little hummuses to see if Jamesy would like them at school we'll see if that works this is the crab rangon dip I was telling about classic guacamole good for avocado toast in one of the bowls and then I think I'm going to use this crescent roll your foot stuck um as the topper for the little pie that I plan on making and because I made this order like in multiple days like I don't even remember what I have so I like need to go through the list to see I randomly put this in the cart and I didn't even mean to keep it this was a Mediterranean style chicken quino bble in the southwestern style and scampus squint you see what's on here what gilm more Girls is on what Disney plus wow um when I made that Linguini a few weeks ago how long has I was going to say blogmas blogmas been going on um we're going to make gosh I thought this expired but it's next year um tacos out of these shrimps got a little thing of rot I am thinking of just like putting a little dollop and some of our pastas you know getting with myself and then vanilla yogurt I have a stomach ache but not the same like it's not my side I have like a belly ache like I probably drink too much coffee on empty stom no cuz I do then some eggs I don't know if I showed these or not but white tedar P this was not on my list but I just said to replace my flatbread with any other flat bread so here's a pepperoni mozzarella FL this cute little packaging and [Music] then here's our little barbecue roast interesting a little thing of tofu and chicken egg rolls okay now I think that's all we got M what do you got um marshmallow James has been eating the Lucky Charms and he's also been saying our names like he's Bluey shouting for your parents we got really lucky nothing was missing besides the things that I got refunds for which were like the sweet treats like so last week when I was talking during my grocery haul I just said how I like to have a sweet treat and a Savory treat to just have a treat on hand um at home and I got like peppermint chocolate covered almonds and then I think of Hershey Kisses for this week um but instead we just have all of those cookies and all those donuts I am going to reach out to Aldi and see what they want us to do with it um but yeah I feel so bad because like we did not nothing was missing out of ours you know like maybe the other person would have gotten our bags and it would have been a little switch R um but yeah what a weird thing to happen and they didn't have like our name on it they didn't have anybody's name on it cuz if you do a mobile order it shows like bag one of nine two of nine like it shows that with your last name and it didn't have anything on there so I'm just like trying to think was it on a counter or in a cart um I don't know what happened but thankfully we have everything that we actually intended on buying in addition to those two extra bags we're having a chill dinner of pizza we're watching Polar Express wait for me [Music] I was literally filming how the train lasted much longer today and how we were playing with it for contently for much longer when chaos ensued so the train is still hit we just need it in waves need will take a little break little Post in our walk between mom Teddy took over and yeah we're going to go right into bathtub time once we get home and he already felt a little bit better this was a book that we got from our friends the Emma family and it's one of Teddy's favorites it's called grumpy monkey it we love it we actually read two of our favorites tonight hug machine and grumpy monkey this one it makes me sleepy I yawn so much to her because I'm condition yeah you like this one so now what do we do now is it the itsy bitsy spider went up the water [Music] spout Charlie went down and then we each take one of the boys and tonight is my night with Teddy and we relax in here and then once he falls asleep it's boring it's boring what so boring I've never heard did you say boring before Peter's with Jamesy and then we'll bring Teddy in there once he's asleep what's our next song Get aink dink dink get [Music] marinky almost fell off the bed all right it is totally the next day but I said I would share this so I'm going to share it this is what I've sort of laid out for the day loose schedule and I don't like things happening at a specific time so I just this is like a range so between 600 and 7 between 7 and 8 so right now it's 7:42 Charlie's still not awake um so I'll I'll just be sure that I get him before eight so that that doesn't push back our nap schedule too much now I literally wrote this down down Monday and finished it up just now um it's actually not even really that finished I think I need to figure out the afternoon a little bit better and the afternoon changes for us a bit depending on how naps go and so the afternoon kind of needs to be even looser or even like maybe it's just like we kind of do whatever um so yeah but I'll share it with you and ignore my hair all righty we're waking up James getting ready for school this is like weekday and this is also doctor you did go to the doctor yeah Mom I go doctor I was at the doctor too yeah but we're all we're all better we're all home um and then this is also days that I don't go out with the kids in the morning this is sort of just like Baseline um so then talked about 700 to8 waking up Charlie gets off to school 8 to9 breakfast and unloan dishwasher and this is a big thing I want us to all get into fresh clothes for the day it's easy to stay in jammie sometimes and then 9 to 10 walk outside play laundry whatever is needed that's sort of like while the kids play independently or together I can kind of get stuff done that I need to 10 to 11 Charlie bottle and nap mom YouTube workout I I just want to even if it's like a 10minute thing do something to move my body and while Teddy like snacks plays just like he can see that Mom is doing her thing I can feel good in addition to getting that little walk but I just need to move my body more during the day and so that's when that'll happen then once James is done with school we'll do lunch make sure that Charlie has woken up so it doesn't throw off the afternoon his his first snap is usually a little bit shorter so that's usually not the case but again just a loose structure some Miss Rachel and books one to two get outside this is something like this is kind of that like we're playing between naps get the last little bit of energy out naps I really want to get into more of a swing of doing a little toy tidy midday and then three to four whatever dinner prep and then these like underline times that's when I have an alarm set for me to drink a glass of water you guys know I love my little treats throughout the day but I just need that reminder to drink water and I love water so just filling up my glass at at like every 2 hours at the at the minimum if I don't drink more all righty now that the kids are up I'm going to just like finish this up really quick um I said I was going to include my meals I planned for this week week and this is my weekly planner I love it I love that it's not a specific month like you can buy this today and you can just like start your year whenever but this sort of rins me and this is next week um cuz there's like a bit of personal information so I'm going to keep it a little bit more private um but basically like over here I'll write any appointments and things going on and then over here I'll do like what we plan to do that night and also any orders or like shopping so usually it'll say like all the order or it has like dead school workor um or like wherever we're going so say Epcot or Mommy Jamesy date so these are like the priorities of our actions I just drew this real quick as an example but I'll put a to-do list on this side and then I'll do a little habit tracker so it's like and I I just made these little like symbols up but that's like look at finances or bills dad workout mom workout laundry and wake up early cuz those are the things I'm focusing on right now put a little inspirational thing of not to forget or like this week it just says like teacher gifts and spirit week so like sometimes it's actually stuff that I can't forget and then other weeks it's just like I don't know Feelgood little messages to ourselves anyway the whole reason I was showing you this planner was to show you that I put like what we're eating that night for dinner on the bottom line all righty you might notice that I'm in a different outfit I'm just going to selfie this last bit so I don't have to keep covering up things on the planner um tonight we're going to do shrimp tacos and salad and then the kids will have avocado toast and then like sides fruits and veggies and all of that good stuff and then as long as I'm feeling up for it we're going to go out tomorrow night so we're going to just do butter noodles for the kids I'm going to make an easy sauce and a salad and then Saturday is the day that we usually stay home so I'm going to do a meal that would take a little bit more of my time and attention and that's going to be that like vegan shepherd's pie but not Shepherd whatever pie just the mushroom pie um and then Sunday the pork roast mushroom risotto and the salad it's a little bit easier we typically go out on Sunday mornings again if I'm up for it um but that feels like a nice Sunday meal and then because things are bound to be a little bit more busy leading up to Christmas then We'll have leftovers I think we might have another pizza so we're going to just keep those days simple also it is likely that you know I'll plan something for dinner and then it won't happen so we'll have we have those easy things to kind of fill in as well so finally finished um I'll sign off here I really I did not expect this vlogmas I mean I knew we would have slower days but um I didn't expect this week to happen so thank you for oh you being so sweet to baby Charlie you happy you happy too baby Charlie his smile right now is just so stinking like sweet and intentional like you just look at him and you just melts into a smile finally signing off it is good to be home we know what our goals are we know what we hope to accomplish and believe me it's the most exciting and challenging assignment we've ever tackled at Walt Disney Productions [Music] [Applause] [Music]
