FEELING OVERWHELMED & GETTING MY HAIR CUT

I still remember who we are who we are as we steal into the sun believe the col so far no matter where we are I still remember who we are who we are now these days have coming gone we G it everything we got no matter where we are I still remember good morning everyone um what is today let's see today is Thursday is it really already Thursday today's Thursday happy Thursday to you guys um time is like flying over here I don't know about you but I feel like either it's the summer or something about having a new baby is making the the weeks and months go so fast John's birthday is in 6 days um from today so 5 days from when you guys will see this and I don't know what to do I haven't even thought about it so we've got to figure out what to do for his birthday if you wonder why it's so quiet somebody actually commented on that last time I don't know the explanation for that in the last Vlog but right now they're actually all playing upstairs together adeline's napping Everly's napping but the other three are playing together I know as soon as I say this it's going to end but they've been playing pretend and um just getting along it's kind of really wonderful it doesn't happen that often but this morning I said no TV for the day we're not doing any um TV watching today so who knows I don't know what they're doing but they're having fun and so that's why it's quiet and so to me that's a win and little Everly is just waking up right oh were you napping in your chair your favorite comfy chair hello how you doing sweet girl oh it's so hard to wake up it's so hard to wake up do you say hi to everyone say hi everyone hi yeah theyy you since you were born and since you grew my tummy they want to know all about you ever is doing great you guys we had scheduled a an appointment like another checkup for her um and for Jude and adelyn but then they called me because I guess the uh the PA that it was scheduled with was actually going to be out of town so they needed me to schedule it or they sent me a letter and I just haven't gotone around to rescheduling I are you smiling at me you show everyone your pretty smile boo boo she's sweet she's the sweetest Joy was the perfect name for her because she is a joy and a delight so update um we've had lunch and the girls are now outside playing so Adeline and Jude kind of watched Moana but um the the other two have been playing do you have to go potty okay they've been playing all day come on our backyard's a mess y'all it's a real mess look at this girl she looks so big like she looks like a I don't know K's going somewhere oh okay she's going to go play with her other friend I see well you and Elena can play and maybe Jude can come out and play with you in a little bit she promise she'll come back to play after she play is at her friend house I think that's sweet yeah we're playing maybe they'll go back up to their room and continue There guys Danielle is overwhelmed stressed out um as we're going over the school um application it's just making her even a little more uneasy about it it's a private school when I grew up in private school I did everything I private school home school public school I did everything and so I understand that sometimes the private school applications are a little extreme um but I in my experience I've learned that they're never like that what it's on paper and what it says on paper doesn't necessarily reflect how they're like daily operations go if that makes sense and just for people who know we had some comments saying like yeah you need to send her to school Tyler to go to school um thanks for the input we know she needs to go to school we're sending her to school that was never the question so I think you may misunderstood what we were saying before she's going to school we're trying to figure out where she's going to school so she's feeling a little overwhelmed she's listening to worship music this is Danielle in rare form overwhelmed right now there's a lot going on not just with the school but with a lot of things so and she just had a baby a few months ago and and at least this baby's sleeping so soundly juice good call so I'm about to send John outside because I just went to get the girls for dinner and they are next door the neighbor said that they have a th000 crickets um because they just bought a bearded dragon so I'm sending him with a vlog camera while I finish their dinner neighbors have 1,000 crickets what do we got look over here don't step in the pill over they didn't put individual little square things they had it in the uh 1ot by one foot box yeah that little box up there oh my goodness yeah they're all over the place real quick and so now you do not want to touch them because they carry little diseases oh do they make sure you wash your hands yeah you have to wash your hands cuz see the little poopies and stuff yeah but we have a bearded dragon cool we'll have to show it to you and a chameleon a chameleon yes did y'all just get them I don't see uh we've had them a couple weeks okay yeah yeah we opened up the box in the kitchen oh no crickets everywhere I thought there'd be little containers in the box but no they just threw a thousand crickets in box so now we have to put the Crickets in here they got lizards Danielle likes snakes so maybe she'll like lizards too Danielle used to have a snake did y'all know that it was a boa constrictor no it was a python that's what it was B constrictor that's funny it was a python and it was like uh 3T long or something like that I think was gross I held it sometimes but it was disgusting it ate dead rats she had to buy rats Frozen from like the pet store petmart and then you thaw them out and you drop it in there and it goes and pretends like it's attacking it just like just just Slither up to it and just eat it it's dead no you're not impressing anyone snake it's here it's here it's here I've been waiting for so long I placed my ER order and it finally came he's so rude I've been really stalking the mailbox for this one because ordered um I excited did you order me something I think you ordered me something right I ordered their new makeup brushes um they were out of stock and they came back in stock so I put them my order and I like upgraded the shipping so I've been like waiting are you going to do an unboxing tonight I will unbox these but the kids need a bath let's go to Bath come on the kids they've got their shirts on their head so the kids need baths and then my friend Samantha's coming over she's actually going to cut my hair I've need a haircut for a while um I usually have my friend Ariel do it but but she works in a salon and I just can't um ever seem to get out of the house without kids so I Samantha's a little closer she said she would come to me and help me out and so I'm really excited about that um walking in circles I always do that when I Vlog you guys I walk around I'm sorry cuz you probably get really dizzy but I'm super excited about that so I'm going to throw these dishes in from dinner and I'm going to open up my young living order okay so I fed Everly joh is giving the girls a bath and getting them into bed um and I am so excited to open this up this order I told you guys I upgraded the shipping cuz I didn't want to wait for it cuz I'm super excited so young living just came out with a makeup line um a mineral makeup line everything is completely safe natural ingredients like um they don't even make a dark red lipstick because there's no way to make that without using a a Dye that comes is from beetles and um yeah so everything in it is totally natural and safe this is my packing slip I always like to look at it just to make sure that I'm not like expecting something that's not going to be in there because it went out of stock or something like that so oh I can't wait to show you guys I got a couple of their new things one bottle of thieves cleaner this is the best cleaner in the world the really cool thing is that like it goes a long way so one cat full and then 30 capfuls of water so basically you could do one capful of cleaner and a whole spray bottle um and use that for general cleaning everything if you're doing like light degreasing you can do one capful to 50 parts of water and if you're just cleaning glass you can even dilute it further one capful um in 100 Parts water so goes really far you can clean every single surface in your house with it it's amazing I got quite a few freebies this month too so I'll tell you which things were free I got Juniper oil it has a really earthy smell woodsy smell it kind of smells like it kind of smells like lighter fluid is that funny so funny but it smells good like it's kind of like a like a Musky like like Rich kind of smell you know it's not floral it's not like fragrant like that it has a really like Rich smell I mean I don't really breathe in lighter fluid all the time but you know it's like that smell that is not like you wouldn't expect to like it but you kind of do um I like it a lot I wonder but the other thing is I wonder what it smells like diffused because it probably smells different so let's see these for free ninga Nitro I love this almost more than ninga red ninja red is the juice um supplement that I take every day and actually John's going to start drinking it too um and we give it to the girls in the winter to help keep everybody healthy but Nitro is like a boost imagine 5H Hour Energy without out the Jitters or crash um without it keeping you up at night like I could literally take one of these to you know just get some energy or whatever at like 8:00 at night and I'm not going to be laying in bed awake all night doesn't affect you that way it's kind of like sustainable energy cognitive F Fitness helps brain function amazing stuff my favorite I actually like yeah I love this stuff so I bought the new desert Mist diffuser and I can't wait to show you guys what this looks like because it's beautiful beautiful beautiful guys look at this how pretty is that I love it and then it has a glowing light that changes like a candle flicker um or a steady light I love it what do you think this one might have to stay downstairs this will definitely be our downstairs theer okay let me show you this box I'm confused about so this is like the Savvy minerals packaging how cute is it confident without compromise I like that free of synthetics and fillers anyway naturally derived products I got the veil I probably will get a foundation eventually and try everything and then the colors of eyeshadows and stuff that I want to were not in stock so when they come back in stock I'll get some more and then I can do a makeup video for you guys so I got this diamond dust Veil okay then this oh my goodness I've never had nice makeup brushes ever in my whole life okay so these are Italian made it comes with this nice case Savvy minerals like a really heavy duty zipper guys look at these this pouch in the middle to keep your makeup in how wonderful is that so I'm going to stick my veil right in that pouch right away this is the veil brush oh they're so soft Savvy minerals it says Veil right on it so you know what it's for this I can't even explain to you if you can see like how soft it is it feels like rabbit for it's so so soft oo I love it so those are the things that I ordered you guys a diffuser an oil my ninga Nitro Savvy mineral makeup or brushes these are the things that I got for free I got this just for having an order that was over 100 PV um lavender Vitality oil I also got thieves essential oil a 15ml of Thieves which can't wait for the fall winter winter Wellness we diffuse that a lot around here in the winter fennel great for boosting milk supply these came for you with the diffuser peppermint and tangerine and then a free rudola uh roll on which I haven't smelled yet and I'm going to right now because this one is out of stock all the time but it was a free reward this month so I knew I really wanted to get it because apparently it's like sleep magic okay I don't think it smells all that well it smells okay like it smells good it kind of smells like a some sort of candy or whatever but I have heard I think it has Valyrian in it that it is I mean that's why it's out of stock all the time because it helps just snooze and so I'm about to go rub this on my kids feet right now and help them go to sleep before Sam gets here so I can get my haircut that's my order this month you guys that's my Wellness box and next month it should be a little bit different oh yeah I forgot to mention that these CER again I spent about $250 this month especially to get the new diffuser and the brushes um I really wanted those things but let me tell you I got 65 points back that's $65 worth of free stuff just from this one month so um what other company gives you back like like it's crazy gives you back that much in um rewards and dollar for dollar it's not like 10% back anyway I'm going to go cuz Sam's here here She is Sam guess what what it's on Saturday what are you doing it's it on Saturday Daddy I don't you guys to say hey is oh hey Smith say hello hi I already told him that she was oh got it it's not there right that's good I keep saying like we're going to go up Northwest and we don't we're like yeah let's play it we one next weekend oh nice I get you some purple hair I know I like it yeah it's cool I would love to see or me I talked about doing the have you seen what do they call it like oil slick hair or whatever yeah oh wait we need you to do my makeup video I forgot about that I was just about to tell everybody give me so many likes and then we'll I'll do my hair but I was like dang it we already did that I haven't done my makeup yet I got to do that this weekend then I think we're going to do a makeup video this weekend Danielle does my makeup try it what oh you want me to do your makeup yeah remember we made the you have to do my makeup remember oh I don't WM comments oh we got 50 at least I'll do it anyway 50,000 maybe even as long as I can use I don't even have bright colored makeup I'm going to have to get some special makeup just no you just see make me look really pretty makeup but I'll keep my facial hair so it looks really weird Mak him look like Johnny D Hi how are you are you loving your mama R mama is she so little this no doesn't look terribly different it's probably feels more different than anything oh yeah there is a little bit of BL much healthier oh it feels so nice it was bad it was rough before I was in it it feels so good well after 2 years that wasn't too bad or is yeah my hair is pretty I mean it's always been pretty healthy surprisingly I don't blow dry it or anything like that ever so yeah that's probably why I wasn't too bad after that long spooky it's dark you guys my haircut oh I didn't think I should did I here it is um it is a little shorter than I probably like hoped but I like it it feels better there was a lot more like dead end in breakage just from it being like dyed twice or whatever and the blonde at the end and honestly it's starting to like fall out a little bit you know that postpartum hair loss situation so it's probably for the best um but I love it it does feel really good I think I'll need to put some blonde back in there's still a little bit at the ends but I'd like to put a little more in anyway so it feels nice to get a fresh cut and it was especially nice to not have to go out to do it right where you didn't have to watch the girls thank you Samantha um also and seriously how cute was her hair that purple it really makes me want to do a crazy color comment below if you think I should put the oil slick colors in my hair which would be like like purples and blues like and pink like dark but keeping it dark you know you don't like lighten it so it's not bright or pastel or anything it's really dark comment below yeah I guess we're just going to go to bed now because it's about 11:40 I got a little carried away responding to emails and browsing the internet and just hanging out John folded some laundry some towels which is nice of him I did I crushed them towels do crushed them towels you guys want to see something sweet sweet [Music] girl she just hangs out here and snoozes next to us I love love the doat you know what I've had a few friends ask me if I would recommend it and I will say like yes well worth it I love knowing that she's safe in that like in the bed with us um she sleeps in it fantastically I mean really she sleeps she's slept through the night since birth pretty much like she is awesome so I love having my little girl here and yeah tomorrow is Friday already can't believe that so it'll be Friday when you're seeing this so tomorrow will be Saturday already I filled out most of the application for Tyler for school just to clarify like we have to send her to school we're not holding her back or doing anything like that like there's no hold I mean it's not legal at this point she has to be in kindergarten it's not like preschool um she will be six in September right when the school year starts so she is going to be oldest in her class already um it's just a matter of like the homeschooling which I just don't think is an option right now so it's really a matter of do we send her to public school or private school we love the idea of like a more controlled environment um her learning about God at the same time at school but it's expensive like it's really expensive and I feel like though they share the same beliefs as us it's like a little rigid maybe would you say the school oh yeah it's a little rigid like it seems a little bit um like they have dress code which is fine I'm fine with uniforms or whatever but then like her hair has to be a certain way or I guess rather probably can't be a certain way um so things like that that I feel like why you know like I don't think that those things matter so when I see like in the school and the guidelines being so like strict about stuff like that it makes me feel like I don't want her to grow up thinking that she's better than anyone or you know I I just I don't want it to be like too extreme does that make sense like Jesus is important learning about God is important learning about the Bible is important but there are certain things like the way your hair is styled or whatever that are not important and so I don't want so much emphasis put on like you have to look and act a certain way and behave and be quiet and be you know I don't want her to feel like crushed cuz she's a high energy kid and she's got a spunky personality and that's just Tyler and I don't want anything to happen that so there's that but then there's public school where really we don't know I mean Common Core and stuff I don't I don't like that method of teaching I don't appreciate it um it just seems like public schools are kind of going in a direction that we don't really want for her education um or there's a lot less involvement I know Bullying happens in private schools too but I just feel like teachers in public schools like they're more kids and kids probably get away with a little bit more so there's that so I don't know it's just a big decision that's all it's a big decision she's going to school it's just which school do we send her to do we save the money and send her to public school we'd rather send her to private school but is this really the right fit there aren't many in the area that we could afford and so like is this going to be somewhere where she'll Thrive and you know that's it I want her to thrive I know her I know her personality I just don't want her to be in a place where she's getting in trouble constantly because I think it'll Crush her spirit he's officially out his breathing just got a lot deeper and louder so John is sleeping so I want to go but I just wanted to clarify that cuz cuz I think a few people like might have been confused what we were saying and so continue to pray for us for wisdom please we love you guys um yeah we'll see you Monday right [Music] Monday it everything we got we are I still remember
