Good morning. Welcome back to another vlog. We are going to do not the full Sunday reset, but just a little Sunday vlog because I’m feeling good today. I have the energy to do so. So, let’s do it. I already went to the gym, did cardio, and then grocery store because we’re going to make creamy chicken tortilla soup. I’ll share the recipe down below. I made it last year and absolutely loved it. So, we’re going to do that. And we got new chairs for the kitchen table, new great room rug, new patio rug, new entryway rug. So, I will show you that stuff as well because we got very affordable options because the season of life we’re in is not the time for nice stuff. Um, also if there is any piece of advice I can give you, if you plan on having kids or already have kids, don’t buy a pulster like fabric chairs. Don’t do it. Don’t do it. They get so gross. So, we finally replaced those. I found I’ll link these below as well. I also shared them on Instagram and on my like to know it. But we found these little chairs on Bed Bath and Beyond affordable. They match our aesthetic. Um they had two other versions, but I think both of those were fabric, which therefore I would not get. Anyway, I’ll share those after. But because we got that new stuff, we have to take the old chairs. We’ve already needed to schedule a bulk pickup for over a year and we just haven’t. Um, but now it’s like time because you can see that’s an old chair there. All of the stuff that we need to get rid of that like we just replaced is sitting in our dining room. And our dining room is always a catch all for random stuff because we don’t use it all the time. We use it literally twice a year maybe. Maybe that’s a whole other point. I’ve seriously considered changing this into like a kids play area or something. But for right now, I I do see us hosting more people as we get further into every I don’t know. Anyway, we’ll see. All of these old chairs need to go out for bulk pickup. We need to schedule bulk pickup. There’s also a crap ton of stuff downstairs that needs to come up and out. So, I’m not going to do all of that myself today because I can’t. There’s like an old couch down there. If you’ve been following for a while, like a long while. The couch that used to be in my office in our old apartment that is still downstairs. That needs to come up and out. We need to get rid of it. Um, and yeah, all the chairs, the old rug. So, that’s on my to-do list. But first things first, we need to get this going. Creamy chicken tort creamy chicken tortilla soup. Let’s go. It’s a crock-pot recipe. The best kind of recipe in my opinion. We’re not off to a great start. Where’s the me? Here it is. These magnets. I love the childproof system we chose cuz you can’t see it, but you need these little magnets to open up the cabinets and they they tend to migrate around our house. But I found it. We’re good. [Music] Hey, [Music] hey, hey. [Music] [Music] creamy chicken tortilla soup is in the pot all cooking up. I put it on low for 6 hours and then uh everything’s in here aside from the shredded cheddar cheese and uh cream cheese. I use like a third less fat or whatever it is cream cheese, but that will get added in at the end and I’ll shred the chicken and that’ll be good to go. That’s going to be our dinner after I got done with that. We also have a very big we if you watched our last for what it’s worth episode, Chris gave an update on worth it. We’re keeping the gushies around. Still doing the like once a month restocks. So there’s seven flavors restocking this week. Let me go get them. best one by far in my opinion. And apparently the data speaks for itself and agrees with me. I think it’s because this is the main one I talk about. They’re all very good, but this one is just next level. Grape cotton candy, phenomenal tropical punch, sour watermelon, sour cherry limeade, also very good. Sour strawberry. Possibly my second favorite because the difference is with this one versus the others. This is all strawberry gushers then coated in the sour strawberry versus like the mixture of different flavor gushers then coated. So this one if you like strawberry phenomenal sour pink lemonade and sour blue raspberry. Chris has made almost all of them. He’s still going to make some more. And he always gets extra because these once again because these are the ones I’m always talking about, the grape cotton candy. These have been going very quickly and he always has to make more. So, he’s made almost all of them and then has some more ready to make if these continue to sell really well. Um, and he’s at his parents house with the girls today. So, he’s not here to get all of the other things done. So, I don’t know how many there were left that needed stickers, but I went through and put these little flavor stickers on all of the ones that still needed it. So, I did that. I sat outside for a little bit today because, wait for it, the high is 87 and just sun. 87 and sun. I can officially say I am done with the really hot days. Like, I’m over it. With that being said, will I take advantage of the nice days we have left? Absolutely. Because I know winter Kelly would be very mad at summer fall Kelly for not taking advantage of the days. So, I sat outside for like 40 minutes, did work on my phone, came in, showered. Here we are now. I am so out of breath. I also basically just put on the true navy version of what I was wearing before. So, EB Street tank top because it fits. It’s full length. It covers my belly. Comfy. It has a built-in bra that doesn’t dig in. Um, and a line shorts. Duh. Before I go upstairs and edit because I have about three videos, two videos I need to edit, one thumbnail I need to make. I have to send my Lululemon video off for approval. And then, yeah, edit the for what it’s worth episode from yesterday. And I also did this like updated what’s in my gym bag video slashcleing it out that has been sitting on my solid state drive waiting to be edited for uh I don’t know 3 weeks. So that’s on my to-do list today on top of getting all the stuff out there. But I’m waiting till it cools down a little bit because clearly I’m out of breath from showering. I can’t go straight into this. We’re going to make protein balls. So those are done. That’s always something that I enjoy. But Chris, the girls always like them, too. But Chris is like loving them recently. He’s like, “Is this a new recipe?” I’m like, “Nope. Same same recipe.” So, let’s make some protein balls. I also, this is my third time making this. Third, second or third time, I forget. Making this protein banana bread. This is just going to be like a very recipe heavy video. Hope you don’t mind. Um, protein banana bread. This stuff is phenomenal. I think this is the best one I’ve made yet. I don’t know why it’s the best one I made yet. Maybe the bananas were just like perfect ripeness for it. Um, but it’s great. So, I will link this down below as well. Very, very good. I really need to get more mini chocolate chips. Keep forgetting about that protein. Duh. I’m standing in there like, “What am I missing?” Oh, I don’t know. The ingredient that’s in the name of what I’m making, protein balls. Quick little time lapse of this. You’ve seen this before. They’re very easy. Put it all in a bowl, mix it all up, roll them into balls in the fridge for the week. They’re great. Heat. Hey, Heat. Hey, hey, hey. [Music] I’m starting to hit a wall and I’m hoping it’s just because I need some fuel. So, Greek yogurt, like the strawberry cheesecake, Greek yogurt, strawberries, raspberries, granola, and honey. Protein balls are in the fridge cooling. So, those are ready now for the week. Uh, I’m going to eat this and yeah, go ahead up and start editing and then tackle this when I have a little bit more energy, assuming my energy comes back, which like the fact that the girls aren’t at home right now, like there’s more of a chance of my energy coming back, but I feel great until I don’t and then I’m like, “Wow, I’m so tired. Good news. I’m very good at pushing through because well, I’ve always been pretty good at pushing through. But when you are a parent, you don’t have a choice. And you get very good at just getting stuff done whenever you have the chance because you know if you don’t, you miss your opportunity. So, let’s eat this. Oh gosh, I almost dropped all of the raspberries. That was [Music] I totally forgot my camera was recording. This clip is It’s so long. I think I’m gonna continue this video into tomorrow. We’ll see. I don’t know how much footage I have, but I got really tired at like 2 to 3, but edited the entire sit down video from yesterday. Got that exported. So, sitting down doing that, although it’s mentally tiring, I woke I woke up from that. I got done from that feeling a little bit better and was like got like a second wind of energy. Took all the chairs outside like you saw and then basically for the last like hour was cleaning up Chris’s office because he still had all those like hard to find like rare candies or like novelty candies that Worth It has been selling. Um, but whenever like they all come in these boxes that we set up, but then as they sell out, his office was full of so many empty boxes. So, I went through organized it all. I still have to show you the chairs. I still have to show you the rugs. I’ll show you that tomorrow. And I’ll also show you his office cuz it’s looking pretty good. At least compared to how it was. Also, the Gushy’s launch and restock went great today, so he has a lot more to make. Oops. Um, but all good things. I am so tired. I stayed up late last night watching college football. There were some great games on Penn State, played Oregon, and Georgia played Alabama. I was basically just toggling between those two and then it was really the organ game because it went to double overtime. Anyway, I stayed up way too late last night is what I’m trying to say for how early I wake up. So, my watch died. I think it’s like almost it’s a little before 9. So, I will see you in the morning. We’re going to go to the gym with the girls so Chris can have the whole morning here to work. pack up all all the packages and make more. I’ll see you in the morning. Oh, well, that’s just the cutest thing ever. Excuse me. Let me bring it all in. It is not the next day. It is a full week later. I already went on my girls trip and came back. I got home late last night, but I ordered groceries. And the Instacart lady, Julie, left me a little note. Thank you. I’m so glad I could help with your shopping order today. How sweet is that? I already know this is going to be great. She probably picked a great onion, great bananas. Off to a great start. Thanks, Julie, for being the best. I actually just got done editing up until the point you just saw in the video, and I’m going to have this up tomorrow. But remember how I said that the Gushies launch restock did really well, and he also put all of the worth it chews on sale, the sweet then tart, and sour. Um, it went so well that I had the girls, which I was already going to have the girls a bunch before I left to like give him plenty of time to, you know, get whatever he needs to do done. But he still had orders to pack and like more to make when I left. But I had the girls try to get him out of the house and do everything solo with them so he could work Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, and then I left really early Thursday morning. So that’s why there was nothing in this video. I was trying to help him whenever they were sleeping and then get them out of the house, keep them busy whenever they were awake so he could work more. Um, so thank you so much for the support on the Gushies launch. It went amazing in the shoes. We sold so many packs of shoes. Um, anyway, I just did our little grocery haul. I’m going to wrap this video up, but I still need to show you our chairs, our rug, and you kind of just saw the front rug. Actually, let’s just go do that now. Chairs we decided to go with. These are from Bed Bath and Beyond. I think a set of two was like 200 bucks or something like that, but it’s like a faux leather. Matches our other chair over there really well. And they’re just so simple, match the whole vibe, and they’re so easy to clean. I can spray the whole thing down, wipe it off. It’s great. We started off with just four because we still have the high chair that comes up. I do think because we like them so much and just the size, I think we’ll probably get another two pack, so we have six, especially for like when we host people at the holidays and everything. Our new rug, which I love so much. I will link this down below as well. It’s from Rugs USA, which is the same place our last rug was from. More affordable than a lot of other places, but still good quality. I feel like I like this one so much more than the last one. I like how clean it is. Fits very warm. I don’t know. I’m very happy with this. I do eventually want to replace this one cuz it’s just like kind of gotten gross obviously from little kids, but Chris is like we’re waiting to replace that. I’m like, fair, let’s wait. And then, oh, we got an we got the outdoor rug. I guess I’ll show you that in a second, too. We went real big with this one compared to what was here. We just had like a tiny little mat. I had been wanting from the when we first moved in to get maybe like a big circle rug cuz we have a circle chandelier up I was like, “Oh, no. That could be cute.” But going into the winter, especially with a doodle, okay, the curly fur, the snow, and kids, I’m like, I want so much space for them to sit down, put their snow boots on, dry off Lulu when I need to. Um, so we got this indooroutdoor rug, which I love. Um, fits the space so good cuz we, this is like a very wide, long hallway. Um, and then we got obviously a big rug pad to go underneath. This one has rubber backing. I linked this on Instagram. I’ll link it below as well. They’re great. We have them under all of them. So, I’m super happy with this. The chairs. That rug. I love the outdoor rug. Also very cute. All of the leaves are falling. I need to blow it off again. But this outdoor rug, I think looks very cute out here. Matches everything we already had. Anyways, that is going to be it for the video. Hopefully you enjoyed it. I’m thinking Chris and I will record a maybe I’ll do a vlog or for what it’s worth episode. I don’t know. Just going over how it was solo for him with the two girls and trying to get all the Gushy’s orders out. Um my girls trip, how that all went. Maybe I’ll just do a vlog and we’ll talk about it. I don’t know. But thank you for watching. Hopefully you enjoyed it. I will have all the recipes as well as um the chairs and the rugs listed down below and linked down below. But the creamy chicken tortilla soup just as good as I remembered. So good. I don’t like spice, but you could easily add like jalapeno to it or more cayenne pepper. I hardly add any cuz I don’t want any spice and Emmy really does not like spice either. Emy’s Avery’s kind of unfased by it, which kind of surprises me. But anyway, all of that will be listed and linked below. Let me know if you have any other questions and I’ll see you guys in the next video. [Music] alone. [Music]
