2026 LIFE UPDATE || LIFE WITH 2 TODDLERS || MOTHERHOOD REALITY || HONEST MOM UPDATE

What I always wanted, I could never have it. Gone before I grabbed it, over before it started. No, I could never have it. What I always dreamed of, I could always see us. Shadows in the distance, watching from the fences. But I could never have it. Hey guys, happy new year and happy 2026. So even though I've already uploaded the vlog this year, this is supposed to be my, you know, official first video of 2026. Because that vlog was from 2025. It was how, you know, I wrapped up 2025. And so I thought, why not sit down and do like a proper 2026 life update video. Before we get into what 2026 has for me. So here we go. Actually, before I get into, you know, 2026 life update, I just want to say 2025 wasn't, you know, a bad year for me. It was, it was a fairly good year to be fair. I really can't complain, even though I know that, you know, I could have done more. But like I said, it was a fairly good year and I'm grateful for the year regardless. Because a lot of good stuff happens. Like, I mean, my first daughter turned two, my second daughter turned one. My kids are healthy. I organized a SheNextGen branch with, you know, my partners. I got a Benz from my husband. And I shot a special Mother's Day video for YouTube with, you know, some amazing mothers. And yeah, got some amazing brands to work with. Even though I wasn't so consistent on social media. Like, I mean, I wasn't really creating content as consistent as, you know, I would have loved to be. Because obviously motherhood, taking care of the girls, taking care of the home, it's a lot. But I'm grateful for everything that 2025 offered me. It was a fairly good year. I won't lie. I'm grateful for my life. I'm grateful for like where I am in life right now. I'm at a point where all I really care about is my peace of mind. My family. Things that will elevate me. Things that will make me grow as an individual. Things that will make me grow in my career. Like stuff like that. Good stuff. Now to 2026. So I feel like this year is very, very pivotal for me. I say so because for the last three years, my life has basically been all about pregnancy, childbirth, motherhood. Like you guys know. If you are an OG on this channel, you know how the past three years have been for me. Like it's just been back to back pregnancies and I have two beautiful daughters. And so I've been deep, deep, deep in my motherhood era. But for this particular year, both girls are in school. So my second daughter also started school this year. She started in January. And so I feel like this is the time for me to rebuild. This is the time for me to pursue my dreams that I had to put on hold because of motherhood, childbirth and all of that. Don't get me wrong. My life has been great. Like I'm not even going to lie. My life has been great over the past three years. Motherhood has been amazing. But I feel like aside motherhood, there's a lot I can do. Like there's so much I can do. And I feel this is the right time for me to kickstart a lot of ideas that I've had in my mind since. So yeah, 2026 is a very, very pivotal year for me. I feel it will set the tone for the coming years. And it would also be a starting point for amazing things to come. So yeah, the year actually started off really, really good. I hosted my first ever vision board party, which went so well. So because I know deep down that this year is like a very crucial year for me, I also knew that I had to do my vision board. So I thought, why not do it with other ladies who have the same mindset as me for 2026? Like I mean, like minded women who also want to, you know, take charge of 2026 and achieve a lot this year. So yeah, I organized a vision board party with my partners and we had, you know, some amazing ladies who attended the vision board party. And it was actually a good event. I'm so glad I did it. I also got some amazing speakers to speak at the event and also got to connect with like minded women. I'm so grateful for the connections that I made during the vision board party. So yeah, 2026 is looking positive already. So like I mentioned, both girls have started school now, so it gives me, you know, enough time to get things done. Because obviously when they leave for school, I have from like morning from like, let's say from like nine ish till say 3 p.m. thereabouts. So let's say 2.30 because sometimes I would have to do the pickup. So I have like that time frame to actually sit down and get some work done. So I had already planned out how my January was going to be. I had like a content plan for January and what not, only for the girls to start school. And on the second day of school, Simone comes back with a code and automatically transfers it to Serena and transfers it to like everybody in the house. And I think like on the third day, they were asked to stay home because obviously they have runny nose and it got a bit serious. So for like a week or two, they were home. And that's how my January just went like that. Kids are so unpredictable, trust me. Kids are so, so, so unpredictable. Yes, I feel like once they are in school, cold, flu, cough, they are just things that you cannot do away with. Because I mean, even though Serena just started, when Simone was the only one going to school, she would get the cold or cough, come home, give it to Serena as well. And out of like a term, she can get cold, flu, cough so many times, like I can't even count. So yeah, that's another thing. But God being so good, they are back to school now. And so I have all the time I need to, you know, go after my dreams and also get consistent on YouTube. That's also one thing that I really, really want to do this year, get consistent on YouTube. So I'm going to go back to, you know, two uploads per week as we used to do some years back. It's going to be Wednesdays and Sundays at 6pm. I'm telling you guys because I need you guys to hold me accountable. And so this year, I'm going to be consistent on YouTube. Another goal of mine this year for YouTube is to get to 20,000 subscribers on YouTube. So I need to be consistent in order to achieve that goal. And also still on YouTube, even though I know that I already have like an amazing community, I want to build like a stronger community. I don't know if you guys get what I mean, but I want to build a stronger community. And so that's also one thing that I plan on working towards this year. With that being said, I'm going to take my channel membership serious this year. So in case you don't know what channel membership is, channel membership is sort of like, you know how we have subscribe on Instagram now. You need to subscribe to the person's account in order to get exclusive content, like content just for subscribing. It's the same for YouTube. So YouTube is called channel membership. And so I have that feature on my channel where you can sign up and become a member. So starting from next month, which is March, I'm going to be posting members only content. So I'm going to be creating some, you know, exclusive content just for people who are signed on to my channel membership. It's going to be one video per month. So every month we're going to get an exclusive members only content, right? It could be vlogs, sit down videos, story time, like, you know how we do over here. So, yeah, that's another thing that is going to be happening on my channel. And it's starting next month. Also, what else? What else? Yeah. So I also started a new business, right? So as I was planning for the vision board party, I had to do some, you know, personalization or customization stuff. And because I didn't want the ticket to the event to be that expensive, I had to do some stuff myself just to cut down cost. So fortunately, I have this machine. Like, I've had that machine for over a year. But I had been using it to do my own stuff, like doing personal stuff. I wasn't using it for commercial stuff. But because, like I said, I wanted to cut down on cost, I took it upon myself to do the customization and personalization of our goodie bags and other stuff by myself. The souvenirs and what not that went into our goodie bags. And they all came out so good. And so out of that, I started a new business. It's called Creations by SNS. I've created a page for it on Instagram. And I actually love the fact that people who received the personalized items loved it. I also did the customization of our PR boxes as well. And this was like the highlight for me. All of the speakers who received the PR box actually loved the box. They were like, wow. I remember when we got the color box and we delivered the PR box to Stephanie, the owner of Color Box. She was like, wow, this is so pretty. She was like, this is so nice. And she was asking me who did it, like who did the customization. I was like, I did it myself. It was such a, like, I don't know. It was a highlight for me because she was like, who did this? I said, I did it myself. And so, yeah, I've started a new business because this year we are not giving any money chance. I want my husband to, you know, tell people that, do you know who my wife is? So, yeah, that's how 2026 is looking so far. And as you guys already know, like I always do, I'll carry you guys along with me throughout my 2026 through my vlogs. And yeah, I wish you all, you know, the best of 2026. If you have a dream that you've had to put on hold for a very long time, this is the year to go after your dreams. And I can't wait to see all of us win this year. Like seriously, because I think I've heard like a lot of people say this year is like a game, like going to be a game changer. This year is crucial for them. This year is this, this year is that. So do have the best of 2026 and I'll see you guys in my next video. And like I said, I need you guys to hold me accountable because this year we are staying consistent. Two videos every week, Wednesdays and Sundays. So I'll see you guys on Wednesday. What I always wanted. I could never have it gone before. I grabbed it over before it started. No, I could never have it.
