Travelling with a Baby?

foreign [Music] Lucy has done it again check it out protein pancakes to start with blueberries chia seeds and banana welcome back to another video Welcome to 2022 what Happy New Year I know we're into January now but I wanted to say that I don't think we've officially sat down and said that on the Vlog so happy New Year to you all hope you did all have a nice New Year's New Year's Eve I did a poll on Instagram we're doing a lot more polls on Instagram that's one of my 2022 goals to engage a little bit more with you guys over on Instagram the questions q and A's polls fun stuff like that so every new year I kind of get quite motivated for the year head and I asked if you guys were setting New Year's resolutions and loads of you have replied so I'm going to read some out now to no don't delete I nearly deleted one I'll read some of those out in a minute but yesterday we have started off with some delicious breakfast from Lucy I'm using for the first time ever I don't know if this is like a new 2022 thing I'm actually using a tripod a proper tripod to film with usually we just balance cameras on whatever we can find but I've got a big tripod out today to film this shot yeah Lucy made some delicious protein pancakes this morning we are making a conscious effort to cook more at home because we're spending a little bit more time at home now because the baby could be arriving at any point we are cooking more well I said we Lucy is cooking more at home although my mum and dad wait a sec I got a cookbook for Christmas I got this The Roasting The Roasting tin and it's all meals that I myself could cook because they're all like one dish meals so like everything in the book is purely on one tray or in one dish and I'm pretty I'm not bad at cooking I've just been out of the out of the habit for so long um so when the baby's here and I will have to cook more then I might try a few of those so some New Year's resolutions um let's read some out because I feel like we should Inspire each other at the start of this year whatever 2021 was for you it's good or bad it's in the past um and we need to look forward into the near so let's read some of these because I'm so interested so someone said to love myself more super important no toxic people in my life that is really important and you are kind of uh you're kind of a amalgamate what's that word you're kind of a mixture of the people and the environment that you choose yourself to be in so the people you hang around with you often become so choose your circle carefully live life to the fullest love that back to healthy eating diet love that too we're also doing the same thing we did a huge food shop and Lucy has planned out recipes and all healthy delicious stuff for the whole week so we're going to try a whole week of eating in if you watch a channel you know us we don't do that we usually get take out food or we eat our restaurants quite a lot someone said give deeper to charity very important become the best version of myself good I'm loving this new years positivity I also read something it's not like there's just been one day in a calendar change and then all this good stuff happens it's us it's it's us you and I that make these decisions for ourselves someone said don't get a haircut like that oh thanks and that's the uh that's the photo I used on Instagram so I actually was planning on getting a haircut like that but this particular person doesn't like it live a simpler life I love that I think everyone is craving more and always wanting more and the next thing and the next best thing there's so much in our lives now maybe maybe some people just want to de-crowd their heads a little bit love that prioritize myself more become more productive work smarter eat healthily a financial dire so think about your budget and stuff like that and then there's loads more um all along a similar thing really so that's awesome to see we are we're not particularly doing New Year's resolutions I don't think I can check with Lucy if she's got any but we definitely want to start being more healthy I'm about to take my daily multi-vitamin gummy not sponsor but my protein I pretty much I would love to work with them I actually use all their stuff pretty much exclusively the protein powder some of the other product and I take their multivitamin every single day so we're gonna get on with the day the weather has been terrible for over a week now raining every single day let's do our little weather check just gray gloomy Skies I'm afraid which really I have to motivate myself way harder when it's a day like this but we are going to motivate ourselves today Lewis and I have taken a little bit of time off over Christmas we've had some full days off because in our job and our work and stuff we it all Blends into one so we don't like work regular hours we don't have weekends off we're always kind of filming we always switched on we're always um talking to Brands and we've always got editing to do always taking photos so everything that our job involves being like a content creator is kind of always ongoing so we tried over Christmas and New Year to take I think we had it in the end maybe five five full days off overall and we pretty much spent them there we watched movies we watched TV shows today is the first day that we're kind of back to it so we're planning out some content for the beginning of the Year Jan and Feb and we're filming and we're editing and we're getting going and no matter how hard you work sometimes you do need that break and that reset so you could be focused which we are now we're pumped to get going for 2022 we hope everyone watching has had a great start to the year so far I must say it's a very weird feeling um not knowing when this Baby's gonna come I'm a very organized person and there being this five-week window where it's possible this started a couple of weeks ago it can basically be all of January up to the first week of February so literally any day now but also it could be still a few weeks away so it's just weird it's like you're just kind of waiting for something you can't be complete if we had a certain date for it right I would clean the house have it perfectly prepared I would cook meals ready for it I would be so organized I'd have just freshly painted my nails like I'd be the most organized I possibly can be but I can't constantly have all them things at the top of how they can be if that makes sense so I can't spend an hour cleaning the flat every single day because I don't have time to do that I can't constantly have a fridge fully stocked up because I'd be in the shops every single day buying food so it's like this weird in-between feeling where you we're ready like 90 ready but if we had an exact date we could be 100 ready so it's weird it's exciting and you want it to happen soon but also you're like I need a little bit more time to sort some things out I don't know it's a funny one it's not it's not something I expected to like feel this way about or something I considered really at all but I'll quickly show you this in the background this is from my mum for Christmas it's so sweet it's like a little engaged thingy and it's got like loads of different words like baby YouTube Boracay because it's where we got engaged and where we decided our baby love backpack like for more traveling days travel Philippines juicy Vlog and even the word on there as well um very sweet does anyone else get very excited by kitchen gadgets and things that help you clean maybe I've got to that age in my life where that's what makes me happy that's what makes me the happiest today I want to share with you guys a gadget that we've been sent from a company called dayu this behold Jaime This Is The Day You kitchen steam cleaner and sterilizer so we've got a two in one function here this is both for cleaning the dishes and it's also for steaming so it's like a combined version of the two it heats up to 105 degrees Celsius so you're gonna get your dishes sparkly clean but it's also going to be good for things like clean baby bottles sterilizing baby bottles and stuff like that we're still undecided where we want to put it hence why it's just currently propped up but I just want to show you guys how it works today we're thinking maybe we'll put it like up here against a wall here so it's nice and near the sink but for now we've just plugged it in now we're going to turn it on for the very first time oh nice oh look at that wow so we've got different modes on here depending on what you're cleaning or steaming um and I guess it gets stronger the further you turn it around Okay so we've now got a nice blue glowing light there so I think it's ready to go it's actually portable so you can see this handle here you can actually take it off of it um because it only Clips on with these little things here and then we've got a water tank just on the side here so you pop this in fill it up with water really easily and you've got a nice big tank at the back so I've got my very dirty plate here from this morning's breakfast sorry if that's not a very nice to look at I'm going to pop it into the drying rack in the sink just here so I'm gonna make sure my hands are 10 centimeters away from the steam which is a safe distance and it's also great because I'm going to be able to use this and not actually get my hands dirty while doing the washing off it's almost like watering a plant it's literally one-handed so I'm gonna press the button now okay all finished very satisfyingly clean plate now it's actually sanitized so it's germ free and of course this is chemical free cleaning it means you don't have to use chemicals on the plates I think this would be especially good if you have like a huge dirty greasy plate from something you've cooked and you need to sort of get all the grease off with that high temperature and high pressure obviously you have to be extra careful with steam so it does come with like um some child safety features a child lock and a skull preventing design so it only gets hot at the end we haven't experimented with these yet but there are some little attachments that you can put onto the end of it I guess that you could use to scrub some dishes with as well and we're going to leave a link below to this product if any of you want to check it out and feel free to do so it's going to be linked below this video today but very impressed with that now let's get on with the rest of the blog so now I need to put this laundry away if this is dry clothes take so long hey wrapping the Philippines with my hoodie my fitness Army hoodie um oh see that's wet the rest some of this that's wet still this has been on here for a day clothes do not dry here very well I also need to put these dishes in the dishwasher the dishwasher has been life-changing I'll fully admit that um I used to hate doing the dishes who remembers in the lockdown Vlogs in Manila doing the dishes with George those were the days but I used to really really really hate that so now everything just goes in the dishwasher it's only a slim dishwasher it's a small one but it's enough because it's only the two of us soon to be three um it is actually plenty plenty of space for us to use this once a day maybe sometimes twice a day for our people over and little things like that that may sound boring to you but uh to me they're very very life-changing and life enhancing like did those shots setting the camera up turning it on hitting record walking away and then walking in just pretending that the camera is just on thank you if you contributed a New Year's a New Year's a New Year's resolution we too are wanting to sort ourselves out a little bit and I really need a haircut so one thing on my list to start the year is that this is not this is not good this is not on it's even like gray hairs coming through really long this side too long on top I know it sounds crazy because of how long I had my hair but when you have a short haircut you really do need to well in my opinion for me I need to keep it short especially on the sides that's one thing I'm doing also booked a hygienist appointment at a dentist here because I haven't had one of those for too long maybe around a year and I feel like that's a good reset thing you should get that done every six months apparently so I've booked that in for a couple of days I'm keeping up the gym the gym routine is going well and I'm keeping up not eating rubbish and sugar this is the first Christmas I didn't have one drop of alcohol the whole Christmas I also didn't have a single ounce of milk chocolate I have my 85 dark chocolate which I did keep having throughout Christmas but no chocolate or Christmas at all I'm not saying that to brag or to say hey look at me I'm the master of Health I've done it I've smashed it I've not been like that at all but I just that's what I've decided to do I've decided to make decisions I think that if I had a New Year's resolution I think that would be it make decisions that make me feel good chocolate does not make me feel good milk chocolate especially because the dairy content I can't do it alcohol does not make me feel good we're not going out like socializing and partying and stuff I don't I do not need alcohol not going to the gym does not make me feel good so I'm deciding to go to the gym if people are offering around chocolates and cakes and biscuits and stuff I've been saying know for the first time in my life I don't know I'm pointing a hairdryer at you aggressively I'm very sorry but we have the power to make these decisions and I'm enjoying that I'm so enjoying that and not pleasing people not because people expect you to indulge in stuff but doing it for yourself making that decision anyway I'm gonna try and sort my hair out as best I can another thing I've been obsessed with is sparkling water because the tap water in the UK it actually has minerals in so it's like an actual mineral water we got given a soda stream for Christmas and it's the best thing ever so I've got fizzy water sparkling mineral water basically from the tap which is also life-changing Jordan's got the big tripod out today and I don't know if he's shown it on the Vlog yet let me do a front camera and I can show you it's like this huge tripod with a tiny camera so I'm now experimenting with some angles and this is a bit of a weird one it looks like I'm just sort of looking down on me and I'm sort of on the floor really small but we'll go with that quick two series to recommend for you the first one is the shrink next door it's on Apple TV so you have to like pay for that or we had a free trial that we're trying out and it's really good it was poor ride and and Will Ferrell and it's based on a true story and it's kind of sad because it's this guy that basically completely takes advantage of this rich guy who makes it sound like he's helping him but he's actually really messed up and it's kind of like a bit psychological it's quite frustrating to watch it but it's like a really good story so I'd recommend that and also when we started yesterday with only a few episodes in called The Tourist on BBC iPlayer which has Jamie Dornan Dorman Dornan which is the guy from the fall which is one of our all-time favorite series and it's about a guy he's in a car accident and then wakes up with amnesia doesn't remember who he is he's in Australia doesn't remember his name but basically there's people that are trying to kill him and he doesn't know why and it's him like trying to figure out who he is and why he's being hunted effectively by these people so I don't know how that ends but started yesterday it's pretty good I think George was saying earlier like this phase we're in we don't really want to be going out too much like we go to the shops but wear masks and keep our distance if we see family we ask everyone to lateral flow before just to be sure they're doing tests all the time but we're just at that point where if either of us get it it could mean that Droid Isn't at the birth which is like worst nightmare for us really right now so this angle is so odd I don't know if I quite like it but is it weird to watch I don't know and it's also a time where we can't really we're not like going out to eat in restaurants we're not going to shopping centers and going shopping like in the New Year's sales because it is going to be heaving it's going to be so busy and it's not something we want to risk and we really can't travel anymore because if we travel somewhere now even if it's just a drive away if it's like halfway up the country and I go into labor we're not really going to want to do like a six hour drive back home um necessarily so it might mean that we have to have a baby elsewhere outside of Worthing but we want to have in wedding hospital I can't imagine having a baby like up north somewhere because we're on like a road trip and then having to have them first drive home with the baby for like seven hours because you're not a I think a baby can only be in a car seat for half an hour at a time it just wouldn't be practical it wouldn't work we wouldn't be working near where we live the hospital is near us here so yeah it's not possible for us to travel right now which is hard for two people that really enjoy moving around and I know that once a baby's here and once he's old enough to go on longer car Journeys and we can take him on flights and things we'll definitely be doing that we're very excited to go on some trips and some little traveling adventures with him it's just not something we can do or think about right now so we're feeling quite not bored we're not bored we're very grateful for what we're in right now and we've made this place really nice and we're very excited to meet him but we're kind of like I don't know it's weird it's the first time in quite a few years that we've not been able to move basically other than lockdown obviously it kind of feels like we're in our own lockdown that is self-inflicted fully like we're choosing to look we could move around we could go and see people more but we may the decision not to because we think that's what's best for us okay time to make some coffee I've just been in the office editing some Vlogs doing some admin stuff that I always needs doing um especially after a little bit of time off catching up with things back into that work mindset still loving these coffee house means I don't know if I'll keep this up because these beans cost these beans were expensive 250 grams was how much was it Loose nine or ten pounds for 250 grams which pretty expensive but the difference in the coffee oh my word is astounding in a good way I think astounding can only mean good right I don't know it's a little bit of a longer process because I'm actually using this machine properly and making coffee pretty much as you're supposed to so I'm weighing out each shot of espresso that I make which obviously does take more time but the results are worth it I think this year also I know this Vlog seems to be like a bit of a new year even though it's way into January or whatever it seems to be a new year refresh Vlogs I think taking time slowing down and taking time to do things properly and nicely is hopefully going to be a feature of this year for us so the grinder and is empty I'm gonna weigh out about 18 grams of these beans so I've got my old scales out and I'm not going to do coffee b-roll today because we do so much coffee beer off on this Channel Zero a bit more 18 grams straight into the grinder look at that look at that golden espresso beautiful so good okay back to some editing [Music] this seems to be turning into a bit of a white in a day but we got this cookbook out again from some of the book because we unpacked a few months ago and we've been doing some recipes from it this is the cheats chicken caesar I don't know why it's cheats uh but there we go something like this and I've just finished making it well it's almost finished George has got the non-tomato version but it's basically loads of leaves some eggs a lot of spinach in there as well some tomato some cucumber I've also made a homemade Caesar dressing here shook some smells amazing we've got some Parmesan cheese to go on top and then I'm just finishing cooking up the chicken here so I'll show you the Finish finish put up in a second and here's the finished result looks really good loads of good stuff in there loads of cheese of course my favorite thing in the world um yeah I'll let you know how it is once we finished okay we are leaving the house for the first time today uh we really haven't been going out and doing much lately which has been nice over the Christmas period but I think as Lucy was saying we'll be wanting to go out a little bit more now and can't yeah I was going to say I thought you're about to say we are like no no the the uh exercise of today or the uh Excursion oh yeah we've got horrible is it shaky sorry if it's shaky we have a uh like camera mount in the car now this isn't gonna work look tuna fish comment below if it's too shaky or if it's okay I don't think you should record if we need to stop vlogging and do it when we stop that's probably a good idea you're just getting the fuel um we never actually said about how how nice lunch was it was lovely um really nice and fresh it felt like the perfect summer lunch but it's horrible it's really rainy there was a huge downpour when we were having lunch and it reminds us of like the storms we'd see rolling in Manila from our condo it's normally it rains quite a lot in England but it's usually like drizzly for hours it's never usually like this crazy downpour um but yeah that's what has happened and it was oh nice quite cozy but we'd love to hear from you guys if you've got any anywhere that you think would be perfect to go three of us once baby's here um maybe like next next year obviously oh not next year it's already next year I'm really still not used to it being a new year this year when he's I don't know let us know in the comments if you have if you've got babies or had babies when was the point Jordan's put in the face because it's so windy when was the point when you went on like a trip when was your first flight or when did you do like a road trip or a night away with a baby um we'd love to hear from you because I've heard so many different things some people I know have gone away after like two months they do like a night away or like a little road trip um and then at like maybe five months or six months maybe we could get on a plane or maybe before then obviously it's gonna be very different kind of travel but we don't want to just stop traveling like we don't that's what we love to do and that's what we enjoy so we're just gonna adapt and do it with a baby yeah let us know in the comments if you've got any suggestions of where we should go and if you've got any tips for traveling with a baby as well because I'll be very much appreciated I'm sure we'll need all the tips we can get oh okay that is so cold outside we'll put the heating back on heated seat one thing I love about this carbon feature is that we can precondition it's called which basically means turning the heating in the car on you're not in the shot that's why it's been wasted me there we go get both of us in um yeah so like 10 minutes before you start your journey or something you go on the app from home turn the heating on in the car your heated seat comes on and the car starts warming up inside so you can get into a toasty car just undid all of that by getting out but now we have a full tank of fuel we have some electric charge we can go anywhere we can do anything what do you want to do the card oh we'll go home shall we all right we've actually realized uh we were chatting the other day and like not in a bad way or a negative way but just in an observation of thinking way how much our life is going to change the things we can't do anymore well no it's not the things we can't do it's the things we can't do spontaneously yeah I think we can still do a lot of things but it is going to take more planning and more work it is so for example we couldn't just when we have the baby we couldn't say oh let's go to the cinema tonight yeah we couldn't we have to get a babysitter or we'd have to I mean I think we can still be fairly spontaneous when and especially when he's a little bit older doing a road trip or something we can just go I didn't say when he's younger because he just sleeps yeah but even like we're gonna go from dinners and meals out and just like hopefully he'll sleep yeah maybe I'm being um overly optimistic here and every new parent would have gone through this as well but yeah all the differences and all the changes in life that we're about to face it's exciting and we can't just be it's not just us two anymore we can't just think for us but we've had us two for eight years yeah yeah like we're gonna Suddenly It's not like we've only been together for like a year and then we're like oh oh really good foreign [Music] okay back home that turned into a very unexpected and spontaneous visit to my sister's house where we just dropped in um we had to return something to them we weren't sure if they were home but they were so we spent about an hour at their place we now have dinner I think we've shown all three meals in today's Vlog there's been like a full-on full Daily Vlog today which is cool so Lucy has wow this looks so good is it good Lucy has made a shepherd's pie cottage pie with a suitcase cottage pie with sweet potato oh man so we are going to enjoy this then I have some tidying up to do that is the deal around here Lucy Cooks I clean up isn't
