What my toddler and I eat in a day when *sick* 👶🏼✨ easy meals VLOG

[@LatteForAnyone]

After being a mom, i realize how our body can easily fights any kind of sickness. Istg i feel like a superman whenever i'm sick but i still can clean, cook and taking care of my baby. It is NOT easy but we NEED to be strong to take care of our baby. I feel you so much and thankyou for making vlogs about your life with Arrow. It made me feels like i'm not alone in this journey of being a mom. Take care of your self, girl.

[@kaitlinross4348]

Brittany you are the most relatable mom on youtube for me. You are an incredible mom and the perfect mom for Arrow. I learn a lot from you and I have always related so much to how you parent and talk to Arrow. If my husband were to watch your videos he would very much think we are so alike haha. “who knows, protein” Hahaha that part killed me😂 Literally my thoughts exactly😂 Wishing you well. Raising a toddler is hard enough. I love your shorts too. Literally everything you post is spot on so relatable ah, thanks for posting all that you do!:)

[@joyfryc3109]

I do a charcuterie board for my toddler too! Lots of colors and a mix of high nutrient and “fun” food. Toddlers are so bougie, honestly lol😂😅😝

[@brittanybalyn]

Hahaha I love toddler charcuterie boards and yes they are bogie 😂

[@carolinamesquita7178]

@@brittanybalyn HI Brittany, the "secret" way to peel the egg is to use a spoon, open a little bit then put the spoon inside the skin and it will open easily :)

[@KatyConrad]

I love the ice cube idea! My toddler is always so impatient to wait for her soups to cool down😂

[@ladna313]

My mom would do this for me growing up & i still do it lol

You never disappoint me Brittany...keep up the good work !!!!

I’m 20 weeks pregnant and sick ugh, it’s the worst. Hope you feel better soon!

[@zaliaclariot-hughes3724]

You should do a learning/activity day in the life! Like what activities you do with her to learn and what she started doing at different ages. Thoughts?

[@kaylaskunca]

Arrow eating that charcuterie board is literally so cute 😭😭😭 totally using this idea!!! I find my son will eat a little bit of like 10 things during meal times, especially lunch, because I want to make sure he eats enough so I can’t believe I never thought of that!

[@brittanybalyn]

Ooo yes the charcuterie board sound like a great option for you and your little! Also leftovers make great snacks 💖

[@sgrace-222]

arrow literally melts my heart 😭🥺 when u asked her if she likes yellow and the way she smiled back 😩🥺🥺🥺 shes so precious! lol i hope you’re feeling better too brittany!!! 💓😕

Hi Brittany! Just what I needed! My little guy is sick right now. Thank you very much for another great video! I hope you get to feeling better!

Love these ideas and absolutely love following your journey! Those soup bowls are so cute! Can you share the deets on those?! ❤️

I tried your chia pudding and i loved it! I also tried a strawberry version instead of the banana and it was bomb!! Thank you Brittany❤️

Arrow startled at your sneezing was so adorable.

[@brittanybalyn]

Hahaha made me laugh watching back 😂

[@stefanieglevicky3720]

Hope you’re feeling better! I love these type of videos just being raw and in the moment. I’ve been there before..It’s so hard to muster through the day! I always love when you show what foods you’re eating and recipes, thank you ❤ p.s. love the captain crunch in the end 😂

[@brittanybalyn]

Thank you and haha yes sometimes captain crunch saves the night ❤

[@BryaYoga]

egg hack : gently roll/crush the egg, the shell will crack & peel off super easy! i used to work in a restaraunt and prepped like 40 hardboiled eggs at a time very quickly

[@annievine9686]

Coming back to this a year later and it’s all as relevant as it will always be, brilliant video! Thank you 🤩🥰🤍 it’s so tough when we’re sick and they’re fine lol too much energy 😅 xx

[@itsacastilloslife]

I love watching your videos because it makes me feel like a normal mom 😅 you’re so relatable and I love it!

[@malaksouaid7493]

If you add salt or vinegar to the water before you boil the eggs will help to remove the shell from it ✌🏼love from italy ❤

[@brianna7289]

“It’s the wild, Wild West in my apartment right now” That had me laughing!!! Hoping you are feeling better soon girl 💗💗

Sick with my toddler this week too after starting Mother’s Day out last week. Dragging and struggling. This was perfect timing!

[@nicolem7670]

the charcuterie board is such a great idea!!! i’m definitely gonna have to do that with my kids!!!

I was sick last week too! Body aches and congestion..just wanted to be in bed. All of the fam was away on business/vacation and it was ROUGH. I def relied on screen time to get me through. Hope you’re feeling better ❤

[@taliasproul1276]

You’re such a great mom!

[@kimberlylott8612]

Definitely trying the charcuterie board. I've been having such a tough time with a all of a sudden picky toddler. The part where you sneezed and arrow getting startled made me giggle lol. And my 18 month old daughter got started too and ran to me 🤣

[@SachaRobinson]

I have been using frozen veggies to cool down soups and the like for a while now. Like all toddlers mine is not very patient when it comes to food so I throw in either chopped up frozen spinach (very little taste) or frozen peas which are his favorites.

[@Rebeljaylyn87]

Really enjoy your food vlogs. Gathering ideas

[@chelseaknighton3714]

This hack 🤌🏼 chuck the egg in a glass cover the top and gently shake side to side, repeatedly until all egg shell is off ✨

[@comershania]

Love your videos, been watching since I was pregnant

[@brittanybalyn]

Such good ideas! Can you post toddler lunch ideas once she starts preschool? My daughter will be starting soon too! Inspo definitely needed over here lol 😅

[@brittanybalyn]

Yes definitely ❤

[@pauladiaz6518]

My twin toddlers, 2 month old, and husband are all sick except me. I really hope I don’t get sick because I’m the only one holding down the fort rn. The charcuterie board for dinner sounds amazing, I’ll have to try it this week. Thanks for the ideas and for keeping it real💕

[@amandanazim]

I have 2 yr old.. trying to decide when she should start a preschool . What made you start arrow going to preschool?

[@mollyaitken4399]

Thank you lovely. I have been so sick and my toddler is waking 5 or 6 times a night. I think it takes twice as long to heal as a mum (or dad). Just keep reminding myself that this beautiful young young time really doesn't last.

[@brittanybalyn]

❤❤❤ I hope you get better soon!

[@dawnforlife]

It really flies by. My girl turned two and I was talking as it she was born last year and my husband was like..."It's two years ago." My toddler still nurses and wakes often too. When I am sick, I focus on resting as much as I can to speed up healing rather than trying to keep the same pace and prolong sickness. Wishing you well soon!

[@jessicadaniel6345]

Kuddos to you for making this video while sick 😢 you’re definitely the most raw mama tuber I’ve watched! Plus this only shows 17 minutes out of the 24 hours of how your struggling while taking care of your child. I’m 13 weeks pregnant SAHM to our almost 2 year old & it’s been SUPER rough for me 😩 Being nauseous, lethargic, light headed and congested. But we are all doing the best we can ❤️

[@brittanybalyn]

I hope you’re feeling better! It’s not easy taking care of little ones when we aren’t feeling well. My 2 boys made it into the school year for 3-4 days and came home with colds ☹️. Thankfully I dodged catching it from them.

[@maritsa2638]

Hi Brittany, feel better. I have a suggestion for a video. Can you do a very honest video on how you are doing with your divorce and how you have delt with all of it, emotions, parenting etc since literally your daughter was born. Thank you!

[@Laura-fw6uo]

With the boiled eggs you can use a tea spoon and smash the shell around the egg with the back of the spoon you can then use the tea spoon to peel the shell off by just going under the shell and around the egg or place it in water and it peels right off 💜

[@brittanybalyn]

Ooo thank you!!

[@vsailorsv]

Don't feel guilty mama. Toddlers have no chill. That charcuterie board looks 👌 😍 🔥 . Hope you feel better soon. If your nasal passages are all swollen/stuffy try an olbas inhaler. They are little essential oil inhalers and they are amazing. They help with allergies, stuffy nose, morning sickness ...literally so much. My MIL is a doula and she turned me on to them and now I have one in every purse/pocket.

[@leenymick7745]

You did so good! I would have been running to my mom to help lol. Just a side note. When you were preparing the board i noticed a lump im the left side of your neck. Probably just from being sick but i thought it couldn't hurt to mention. Much love, feel better. 😘

I feel like it's so much harder when your on your own with a toddler when you're sick. I'm currently 29 weeks pregnant and I'm a solo mum and this week has been hard! Up all night, toddler isn't eating, 0 help and very long days.

Gosh I'm in the same boat except not pregnant. You are doing amazing.

@@mollyaitken4399 Thank-you! You too! It's full on. X

[@jessicao1822]

Smash the egg shell all over so it's covered in small cracks and then it should peel straight off ☺️ (also older eggs peel better than eggs that are very fresh)

[@filipaandrade2527]

To peel the eggs: smash the whole shell with a spoon and then use the spoon to help you remove the shell. Life changing I swear
