Thank you for acknowledging that you got up and set up your camera, then filmed yourself pretending to wake up. I think about that every time I see an influencer post a video of them getting up in the morning, lol!

[@allisonmarcelle8627]

I literally LOLed when you said “it’s already 75 degrees out this morning!” Hi from Texas! Please send the 75 degree weather. 😂

[@hh__3347]

I'm also a Texan who thought the same thing 😂 75 degrees is my ideal weather

[@evasochocki5209]

@@hh__3347 I laughed also. I live in Florida

[@senseijoyner]

South Alabama here, I was ready to scream "I wish!" So hot and raining/storms nearly everyday for like 2 weeks or so.

[@julietannOsfan1972]

@@hh__3347Mine too. I’m in the UK & most people here are moaning that it’s not hotter. I’m loving it.

[@allisonmarcelle8627]

@@senseijoyner it’s been raining here as well but a bit cooler in my opinion! It’s still humid as heck though. Lol

[@Seoulsearch616]

I love that you narrate your routine videos. Some people just mostly play music, but I like to hear the inner dialogue that goes along with it! 😬 And Skylar's hair is adorable! ❤️🥰🌹

[@julietannOsfan1972]

Me too. I completely lose interest when they play music & also speed the video up.

[@nym2201]

I guess thar why she says she prefers quality over quantity. Those youtubers who play music and fast forward don't put in as much effort as Ariel does in her videos.

[@ToughCookie1111]

When she licked that coffee I cackled. Is that what I look like when I am feening for caffeine? What a doll just like her mommy!

[@georgiawild4332]

When my daughter was 2, she bopped into my sewing room and asked me what I was doing. I held up the little dress I was making for Easter and she quickly proclaimed, “I’m not wearing that.” So, yeah, they know what they like and don’t like pretty early, haha!

[@sandrainontario6710]

My niece around that age looked at herself in the mirror and said to her mom this doesn't work😅

[@senseijoyner]

My girl didn't get picky until around 5 or 6. My boy on the other hand started when he was 2! I bought him t-shirts in the spring, he would only wear one of them, until bib sis started helping him get dressed. Then she was able to convince him to wear those shirts, but heaven forbid Mama suggests them!

[@HereIAm247]

My younger cousin started to pick her own outfits around two years old. She had awesome style actually - better than some adults. 😅 (her mother was a designer and a model when she was young, so maybe it is just in her blood)

[@ashleyoconnell6886]

I love how real you are! I’m pregnant and exhausted so my son had a pop tart and banana for breakfast 🤷🏻‍♀️

[@doriolson8223]

Ariel I’m a old mom but I love your videos I love your mothering methods and the godly values you have given to your children you are a blessing thank you for sharing your journey, and the process you have been working through 💗💗💗

[@MTeelTeach]

I have gone through lots of this throughout my life. Sometimes we are on the struggle bus. I am over 60 and taking care of grand babies. It is what it is. Progress not perfection. Seasons of life each have their own challenging moments. Anybody who doesn’t want to be with you in your semi-clean house does not deserve to be invited over.

[@kellyzakel-larson8545]

I love this video. The honesty in the filming of your Real Life, singing and all, is so affirming. I usually smile throughout your videos because you are so unabashedly real, even when singing about making banana pancakes and eating too much ice cream. Thank you for being so affirming of the realities of daily life.

[@anner4598]

Skyla's funny face after her nap...😂😂😂

[@shauntel9578]

I just love watching your videos! They always put a smile on my face. As a stay at home Wife/ Mommy I found your channel to be very relatable, encouraging, and straight up funny 😁. Oh and I'm not one to leave comments on people's videos but every now and then I just feel like letting people know how much I appreciate their videos and I definitely appreciate your content! Keep doing what you're doing 😊💕

[@naomireaves3742]

I usually hate unrealistic "day in my life" videos but I except nothing less but pur honesty from you and I love it! 😊 this made me laugh. Your babies are beautiful and are growing like crazy I can't believe the little one is almost 2! I remember when the first one was tiny! Haha 😊

[@kittylove-777]

I love that you acknowledge that some people struggle with keeping a clean home. My kids are now adults and I still find real value in your videos. God bless you for being a blessing to others.

[@karencox3235]

The banana song was the best! And then it turned into potatoes! Love it! You're so genuine and transparent, Ariel! Thank you for this!

[@amberklein1560]

My CREAMY potatoes. (Secret recipe until now) Simmer diced potatoes in salted water, but add a scoop of minced garlic while it's simmering. YUM! Strain soft potato's using a colander It's ok of the garlic rinses away. It's already done it's job. It's also ok if the garlic stays with the potatoes. Return the hot potatoes to the pot, and use a potato masher to mash in cream cheese (a lot of cream cheese) and butter. (No one will realize what you've done. They'll just believe they're the creamiest garlic potatoes ever!) The trick is to do your creaming while the potatoes are still hot, and while the cream cheese and butter can melt, which keeps it soft. Sometimes we'll stir in a little shredded cheddar too. But even without the cheddar, I've not yet found their equal. Enjoy 😊

[@Xenolaothe67]

I do this too, excluding the cream cheese part. Gotta try that next time :0

[@stephaniemoore-fuller9082]

I agree that one of the keys of mashed potatoes is to mash them WHILE THEY’RE STILL HOT. Something happens when they cool, and even if you re-heat them, the texture will never be the same.

[@nicolekiel1050]

Fellow wavy/curly here... I love showering & styling at night too. My best advice is to put a good amount of gel in, let it dry all the way (I blow dry), then pile it on top of your head (don't scrunch out the gel cast!). In the morning when you take it down is when you can scrunch out the crunch. Good luck!

[@Yesica1993]

Wavy/curly girl here - I'd never heard of putting gel in at night!

[@nicolekiel1050]

​@@Yesica1993I love to do it when I have time to let it dry all the way before going to bed 😊

[@SimplyThisYoutuber]

I love that you told on yourself about your morning wake up! 😂😂😂

[@manda1804]

This is me, watching from NC, and wishing for 75-80 degree weather for my kids to play outside in July🥵 I'm so jealous🤣 I always love your videos, and I appreciate your hard work and dedication to creating quality content instead of rushing it!

[@mahadewiiii]

Is it very humid where she lives?

[@Arissiah]

​@@mahadewiiiiYES. Omg I hate it! I'll take 100 degrees over 80 with 90% humidity any day! (And I have lived in both)

[@mljs9245]

Random thoughts: As a curly girl, conditioner is key. Glad to see you’re using a pick on Skyla’s hair. I may print out your schedule for ME! Maybe try chicken gravy on the chicken bowls? Love you ❤

[@amyboomer9299]

I love your agenda for the day. Most days my kids and I eat cold cereal for breakfast. I don't always understand why others feel they need to tell someone your not feeding your child the right foods or right breakfast. Also an activity idea, my girls love going to our local Library. You might already take your kids to the library. It's somewhere different and they make friends and get to bring books home. It's a fun time!! If you already go to the library that's great if you don't or your not interested, that's great too.

[@kristimiller1504]

Ariel, please don't even acknowledge these people that have the nerve negatively commenting. You and your family seem so normal. I've watched your channel since the beginning and you haven't take on the KZbin stardom Feed your family what you need to clearly your family looks healthy and HAPPY🎉❤

[@user-jk4ck9vw9p]

Skyla is speaking so well and has such a personality! You are a wonderful and loving mother ❤

[@Lalilola1000]

Not gonna comment on your form, because you are showing up and doing it, so you’re already 10 steps ahead of me🎉 I often watch your videos for motivation, they help me so much❤ thank youu!

[@MilahandTheChanges]

Arial my dear, for your baby’s hair try using aloe Vera gel that is a little sticky and thick and a bit less water. The Jason brand is great and is great on skin too. The gel will help with the craziness and when she gets up from a nap or in the morning you can just spritz a little water on it to reactivate the gel and finger comb. A light-hold natural gel will also work and will last a day or two 😊 I like Kinky Curly curling custard but that may be too sticky for your baby’s hair if you’re not used to it 😊

[@Lalilola1000]

I love the realism from you❤❤😂😂 thank you soo much!!

[@hippitiedippitie]

As a fellow New Yorker, this summer has been so brutal some days 😭 lol. Love your videos so so much! Your narration, jokes, singing, you're so fun and relatable!! Thanks for your honesty and time/effort you put into this channel! 🥰

[@2frenchies777]

Is 75° brutal to y'all? Im from Texas, and at times, it's 110°. Is it humid in new york?

[@brianneclayton7571]

⁠It’s all relative. Texas shutting down when the temperatures were barely below freezing is pretty crazy to us Northerners. I’m in Western Canada. It got to 38°C (100°F) last week and it was pretty unbearable, especially with the forest fires and humidity. We’re a more seasonal mid 24°C (75°F) today, and while it’s grey out it’s absolutely lovely! However, our winters are usually below -10°C (13°F) with plenty of snow and we generally carry on as usual during cold snaps which can get below -30°C (-22°F). In any case, I’d take the cold over the heat any day! I also do not envy the east coast’s Nor’easter storms. Those sound brutal!

[@hippitiedippitie]

@@2frenchies777 some days it's super humid and other days it could be in the 90's but there's a nice breeze. Hahaha. 75 is like perfect temp for me! Even in the 80's aren't so bad so long as it's not super humid haha. Once we start getting into the 90's, unless you live by a body of water, it can get rough. Also, I will unashamedly admit there's no way id enjoy the Southern heat 😭😅

[@hippitiedippitie]

@@brianneclayton7571 oh girl, those fires break my heart!!! And there's absolutely no way I could survive a winter in Canada, even at its more Southern boarders 😅 I'm just South of Toronto across the Lake Ontario, and I love watching the storms go over the lake but when I watch the radar I'm thankful to be this far South 😅

[@abigailhorton5370]

I think you are doing a great job of incorporating health-promoting habits into your busy life! Make your coffee EXACTLY the way you like it, you deserve it. Anyone who food-shames your family needs to find a hobby, because they clearly have too much time and energy on their hands...I find it better to focus on gradually adding things (an extra serving of fruit, those bagged salads you just open and mix, a couple servings of beans each week, etc.) rather than taking away things I enjoy. You are a dedicated, loving, playful mom, and you are setting a great example for your sweet kiddos.

[@ThatAwkwardMom]

Thank you for your kindness 🥰

[@sarahhoward1951]

I haven't looked through the comments to see if anyone else has suggested this, but...what I do to make creamy mashed potatoes is to do butter, milk, and sour cream. And sometimes I'll throw a little whipping cream in for good measure!

[@sallieredman7349]

You are adorable. I wish I had your sense of humour about my life when my kids were small.

[@thehadster7043]

This was WONDERFUL! I sing and dance as I do stuff all the time. I also make myself laugh because I'm such a screw-up. If anyone mentions my running conversations and witch like laughter, I tell them I'm talking to the dog or I'm on the phone....

[@tammyleblanc4437]

Skyla is so cute! I was so happy to see her! She speaks very well for her age! ♥️🥰

[@evasochocki5209]

I think you are doing great. Who has time for perfect anyway. Your love for your children is most important, and it is so obvious how much you love them . I fell into the trap of trying to be perfect and be someone I'm not. I nearly had a nervous breakdown.

[@elizabethdirks6533]

❤ We all have our imperfections, all is well. ❤ Lol! It always makes me chuckle whenever someone says 80 is their region's hot. In Texas where I live, that is a cool day indeed. "Let's go for a run while the weather is nice" kind of day. We get temps over 100 for days at a time! But I know us cold-weather-wimps are teased a bit when we complain about 40 being "freezing." Especially because it literally is not freezing temps yet. 😂 Love the day in the life of an actual person, Ariel. ❤

[@rebeccap2719]

I love how real you are. Also, you don't have wavy hair - in my opinion, you have curly hair! The key to successful styling is in knowing your hair type. I have fine hair but lots of it, so I need hold but light products that won't weigh my hair down. A good combo for me is mousse in wet hair, gel and then using a denman brush to style curls while wet. Leave to dry a while then leave to completely air dry or diffuse (look up curly hair vids for diffuser techniques). A game changer for me, too, was washing my hair upsife down in the shower, particularly when using warm (or dare I say hot 😬) water. That way, the force of the water is on the underneath of your head, so if your hair is irritated by the force of the water, it's tucked under the top layer 😊 I hope if you see this comment that it helps!

[@southernstephanie]

Loved it when she said "they act they discovered fire" - so funny!!!❤️

[@shelbytreadway587]

Your babies are growing up ❤❤❤😭😭😭😭😭 They seem like such sweet kiddos!

[@cheykath]

Haha, Ariel, I just love you! No-one else on KZbin narrates their process for filming themselves waking up. You had me in stitches as soon as your video started. Also, your kids are so dang ADORABLE!! ❤

[@ThatAwkwardMom]

Cheyenne, thanks for always commenting and showing kindness! Love you too!! ❤️❤️❤️

[@jamietalee9655]

Thank you for all your time and energy on KZbin! You're truly an inspiration and we all are so blessed to get to see you. Hope you have a great rest of your summer

[@sunshinesunny9518]

I love your imperfection, because i am also imperfect 😂❤

[@beckyobeck]

I love the silly goose vibes. 😂

[@McDermottFamily100]

I ADORE your realness! Thank you.

[@Xiroi87]

Your babies have grown up so much! And they are absolutely adorable.

[@TonyaNelson-hl6yo]

Your kids are getting so big. I love your daughters hair 🥰 BTW, I just add extra milk to get my potatoes creamy with the masher. I don’t want to wash the blender.

[@allheartandsong]

When my youngest was a toddler, I microwaved 2 eggs in a cup, and that was her breakfast for a few years. She still to thia day resquests egg in a cup! So easy. I like to put a tiny bit of butter and milk and stir every 30 seconds, but it only takes 2 min

[@user-vo1be4mk3p]

Hi Ariel! Thanks for keeping it real. Thanks for the free printable, will be so useful. I make a list every day, Love, Hilah

[@julietannOsfan1972]

Great video. I love how real you are & your brilliant sense of humour. It’s also great to see someone cooking something in the microwave. I cook nearly everything in the microwave & would be lost without it. Your children are so cute.

[@berrypatch5583]

Beautiful ❤️. Love that you show your real life. I remember reading in a large family book where the mama said her breakfast during the week was always cereal and she had 10 boxes on her fridge🤣😆. She had ten children, I have eight and can tell you quick mornings do help especially when my kiddos rarely eat the eggs when I work making a "big breakfast". Feed them what they will eat.

[@LadyLocksley]

Great video…so fun. While you were singing about making the banana pancakes (🎵cook banana, cook cook banana🎵) I was cleaning my kitchen. Then when you go to 🎵 mash potato, mash mash potato 🎵 I got to dance and sing along with you while I folded towels. Thanks for keeping me entertained during my chores, kid. Ya done good 😉

[@WRCorner]

Watching this I feel a total slacker! lol, I usually don't start my day until 8am and my daughter is more of a morning person than I am. You rock!

[@shelbysittig1047]

Hand mixer vs blender. 😂 Sha babies. I usually get the snuggles from my youngest. He is 4. The other three refused to snuggle because there was always something else to be doing. Quiet is the mystical creature beast that comes around when Daddy takes the kids to the park. 😂

[@tvinson39]

Watching this as I handed my son 2 breakfast bars 😂😂😂 You're not alone!

[@9Fruits1]

Thanks so much for being you! And for your videos. They make me happy 🥰 I love the mashed potato part when your mum said she likes to use the potato masher 🤣🤣

[@dawnmichelle4403]

Since you're trying to improve your diet maybe substitute stevia for your Sweet & Low. It's a natural sugar substitute. Love you! ❤ Edit: look for the curly girl technique on KZbin for taking care of your beautiful, wavy hair.

[@LaJuana558]

Dana K White from a slob comes clean has curly hair too and she occasionally mentions products she used and probably who she follows because it’s a question often put to her! Sorry I don’t know more because mine has been straight as a board for all of my 74 years and yes I’m totally envious!

[@stephaniecervantes5515]

Thanks for this one ❤️ it’s so nice to see you, a normal weirdo like me, doing life very similarly and a little bit better in some ways haha. My oldest does not do quiet playtime alone so this is something I’d love to work on! I feel like I’m constantly playing pretend which is exhausting.

[@laurasimmer9612]

Search the curly girl method! There's several KZbinrs that share their routines. Some methods are a lot of work & as a pregnant mom of a toddler, I definitely don't have the time or energy to put that much effort into my hair 😂 I find that using the correct products for my hair type makes a huge huge difference, even on days when all I do is wash it, brush it and throw it in a bun to dry overnight. Lol Cantu is by far my favorite brand!

[@Elizabeth-1722]

Thanks for sharing this! So good to see the routines of moms in similar seasons of life. And I’m glad to see another mom keeps their day very simple!

[@griselleisara3799]

You are as real as they get 😂😂😂😂😂😂. Love ❤it. ❤️

[@thevegantitian]

Wow I love your video. I can relate. Im not the perfect mom that makes perfect breakfast. With my first child my son. I struggled with giving him junk like crackers or cookies or frozen waffles for breakfast. Im definitely trying to do better and actually make breakfast since I have 2 kids.

[@ljannell]

I love how relatable this is and you are. Thank you for making these videos. 🩷

[@kategraham6792]

I'm deep cleaning while listening. I love listening to your videos while I clean. I love how your mum gave you advice. It was brilliant! 🤣🤣🤣 "Or I like to use the potato masher" 🤣🤣 sarcasm at best hehehehe

[@karatheyaroxan6852]

Go with Turkey Gravy. if you have or get a good strong whisk you can mash up and down first letting the butter melt, then slowly add milk, and stir with the whisk. Repeat adding a little milk and stirring until you are happy with the texture.

[@amandatyler]

Thank you for being real, I feel so seen! My son also wants the same thing for breakfast every day (cottage cheese and cereal) and I give it to him because if the kid is eating I consider that a win 😅

[@taylorferrell8308]

I just love your videos!!! I delt with terrible acne from 15 to 32. Once I found out I had super low ferritin levels and started taking a really good iron my acne went away!!!!

[@norahdelagarza775]

Good morning my beautiful friend!!! Look at how much Skyla looks like Mommy! That's your mini-me for sure. So hard to believe i missed her first words 😥 They are both growing up so fast. 😢😢 Imperfections is what makes us beautiful and you are beautiful. I love how you have adapted your home life to fit your schedule perfectly and your children are so well behaved. You are a wonderful Mommy. My daughter and I have that close relationship, too. I made it a priority because I never had a good relationship with my own mother. I'm in Texas like so many of you subscribers so I'm jealous of your cool weather that you say is hot. 😂 Our temperatures get into the triple digits. 😮 It was so nice to visit with you and your family today. See you soon!!! 🥰🥰🥰🥰

[@stillsteph]

You seem like such a fun momma. And your daughters curls, oh my!! So beautiful. Thanks for sharing a snippet of your life.

[@annekieffer5887]

A curly girl cut is what you want. Expensive, but so worth it. I struggled with curly/wavy hair forever. Tips from the curly girl method and a haircut from a curly salon changed my life:).

[@katiecarroll4911]

Hi! Using a diffuser really helps when you dry your hair. I would also recommend not wearing it in a pony tail because it breaks up the curls. Just a suggestion from another curly headed mom. Oh, and also, I give my kids pop tarts. We homeschool and I need them to be able to feed themselves every morning.

[@Amy-vo9rb]

1. I LOVED seeing a day in your life!! So so fun!! And, from a Mama who does make the whole big breakfasts now at this point in my Motherhood, its really okay to give a few breakfast bars and let them watch some tv while eating it! I look back on that season with so much joy at the memories! Now my kids are much bigger eaters and we need this whole big breakfast to fuel us all and its a lot of work!! 2. I reallyyyyy need that printable!! I have tried a few times and it hasn't shown up in my inbox. I have check all of the folders! Maybe I am being impatient and it just takes some time!?

[@ThatAwkwardMom]

Oh no!! Not sure why it didn't work for you, what's your email, I'll send it!

[@adrianagarza7114]

I dont have kids, and I do enjoy the silence! I love your videos so much!! Thank you for all the quality work you put into them.

[@Jess_Kozak]

I'm currently eating a red ice pop while watching this. Don't have a favorite, I prefer red or orange. But as a mom I usually take which ever is left or whichever my son tells me he doesn't like.

[@valeried2941]

I think you are great! I am wayyy. Older than you and I have been getting up at 4 AM for years! I love the morning quiet!!!! It is my time of day...kudos to you!!

[@everymomentisagift]

Try some spray in non rinse conditioner and a wide tooth comb (larger space between) for your sweet daughter. Hairstylist here!

[@bettyjo2737]

🤣They act like they discovered fire. So funny! Wow, she almost two. Time is going so fast. I remember when you were pregnant with her. She is a little cutie!! My favorite flavor is the blue ice pop. Good video!

[@arlenevillanueva7585]

Can't believe Skyla is almost 2! She's so adorable. My favorite ice pop is blue. 😃

[@ashleym9502]

For wavy hair, the WET brand hairbrushes are amazing! I use it with my hair wet from the shower and it is great. Also detangling conditioner helps a lot

[@bonnieworkman1636]

I’ve watched your videos from the beginning. Your kids are growing up and they are so cute!

[@sundrops5807]

The beginning!!! Love it. !

[@karenl6246]

Ariel, for an easy brown gravy in a pinch heat a can of cream of mushroom soup and stir in some soy sauce. Pretty tasty. Cream of chicken would work too.

[@brollins5116]

My friend has a little girl with curly hair and she uses just a little bit of baby oil on her hands that she spreads through her hair when she's getting her dressed after she sprays it with water and brushes it and it really helps with the hold and the frizz

[@katmoons]

Sunscreen? Thanks for sharing your day with us! Tip for curly baby hair, use a detangler made for kids because they weigh the hair down a bit more so you'll get less bed head post-naps. Loved the banana pancakes and the kfc bowls, both looked amazing!

[@conniesmith3544]

After your potatoes have cooked and you’ve drained them, heat up a little milk, about a 1/2 c in the microwave, about 30 seconds, add to potatoes and mash or blend. Then, and only then, add butter. It’s the creamiest and best!!

[@thedupontnest]

My newly 2yo loves my coffee and tries to sneak sips as well 😅 so cute

[@judyzander3681]

Girl! You’re looking GOOD! Exercising is working out well for you 😂(punny!) and if you think 75 degrees is hot, you’re in the AC toooo much 😂. Boy do I love that baby girl’s HAIR!! It’s so pretty and she is adorable. I can’t believe she is almost TWO! You’re doing great, Ariel, and I love the new furniture as well, God bless❤ you

[@michellemarcisz7059]

You were able to make the mashed potatoes just fine. But, warm the milk. See if that helps, next time. I always use warm milk or the potato water from the freshly boiled potatoes.

[@stephaniemoore-fuller9082]

I use the potato water too! Thought I was the only person who did that!

[@susanwiens7420]

Thank you for being you!! You are hilarious, you make me laugh out loud and I love that you sing through your day, I think I use to and lost it some where!! I look forward to your videos once they come out❤❤❤ but 5:30 am!! Yikes!! I'm a lazy one, 7:30 -8 ish.

[@bluehannah8696]

I use my kitchenaid mixer or a ricer if I feel energetic for my mashed potatoes. The ricer makes the best mashed potatoes.

[@tracycoleman8573]

To get creamy mashed potatoes, I use my electric hand mixer. Your videos make me laugh and remember the years my boys were young and I had no idea how to cook very well.😂

[@outofmyelement932]

Jace will be just fine. I grew up on Frosted Flakes and I'm 60 and mostly normal!

[@cheriy8750]

In Colorado, we call what you used first a blender also and the other a hand mixer. I’m still trying to figure out the secret to non-lumpy potatoes also!

[@danididit3422]

Mashed Potatoes - add a pinch of baking soda or cream of tartar - I only use a hand masher (not electric) butter and milk or hot chicken broth - turns out very fluffy!

[@AnotherLostMillennial]

Mashed Potatoes! I add milk half a stick of butter and half a block of cream cheese (~4oz) the cream cheese has been a total game changer for my mashed potato game ✌️🤓❤ it also helps to mash them taters and let some of the steam out before adding all the ingredients. Another thing I noticed made a huge difference was using season salt instead of just regular salt. I hope this awkward mom can help out another ❤️❤️❤️

[@Fauxrising2022]

I love your videos! You help remind me that imperfection is ok, and that in moments that seem mundane you can still live it up 😊 Your kids are adorable! My daughter is almost 2 as well. I’m also dreading the potty training phase. Looking forward to your videos about that lol

[@heatherjolly8389]

Oh the intro had me howling already😂😂🎉🎉❤❤❤😅

[@forgetmenot3078]

My exercise strategy, too!-get into the clothes first thing. Get a Foley food mill for the potatoes.

[@carmenlheureux5435]

You make me laugh and I love you! Way to go team ice cream! Skyla is adorable.

[@janetgentry1846]

No complaints from me about the breakfast for your son and daughter. My mom didn't do breakfast. Until we were old enough to prepare and clean up after ourselves, we only allowed cold sugary cereal (like Fruit Loops).

[@crazybrunette88]

I just love how real you are! This was a wonderful video!

[@silmuffin86]

The best potato masher for creamy mashed potatoes is the one you can find at Ikea, the one with 2 long handles and the little holes the potato goes through (sorry about the awful explanation 😅).

[@oursimplelifewithtonya9657]

You are amazing! Great mom and I love your videos.

[@berrypatch5583]

You should do a video triggering all the critical viewers, show all the things that annoy or causes them to be critical. It would ve hilarious. Yes, I ate that off the floor after five seconds. Yes, I let my children play in front of the tv while I sneak ice cream🤣
