disneyland at christmas time!! vlogmas day 1!

[@jeniferlove3871]

My niece gets a shoe box size plastic storage bin and keeps in pantry. Every new art piece replaces the exsisting on the fridge the old ones go in the bin. When its full (usually every 3-4 months) they sit down and she picks her fave her hudband pics his fave and my niece gets to choose her top 3 faves and those go to the memory box. The rest go into recycling so the recycling friends make new paper so she can make new art. Explaining recycling makes new paper for her and her friends to make more art on, makes the throwing out alot easier. She actually gets excited about it.

[@mariannewhite383]

Grace being a whole a$$ person now with sass and class is giving me the feels! “This isn’t my first time, I’ve done it before” 😂😂😂

[@scout948]

Alice is the spitting image of her dad!❤️

[@ameriahharlan8736]

Literally just came here to say this, Stephens twin for sure

[@anna.beatrice]

Its so cute how they were able to have one clone of sierra and one of stephen 🤣❤️

[@risuwolf]

Stephen really said, "copy/paste"

[@julia-roses]

the transitions to stephen were so funny LMAO

[@viktoriawiesner8566]

Stephen calling Alice Grace is the most dad-thing he did on the vlogs and I just loved the clips with him at home. Hes so funny and such a good dad 🥰

[@risuwolf]

One time, my dad said he was gonna start calling me and my brothers Kids 1, 2, and 3. Then he kept forgetting which kid was what number 😆

[@katienabors3825]

I loved the little back and forth between you and Steven!

[@sarahneubert3377]

Me too! And the old timey music

[@RachelRambles]

Not us running into each other at our shared second home 😅

[@Sorkaro]

Honestly Disneyland at Christmas is a must for any LA native!

[@SweetieMcPetey]

For kids’ art, setup a memory box where you keep your faves and strategically toss the rest (maybe once a week in trash day). If you think Grace is old enough have her pick the best ones so she can build the decluttering muscle and have the box be the limit on how much you keep.

[@laurenelizabeth405]

the stephen parts have me dead LMAOOOO

[@anouksondagh902]

I loved the chaotic Stephen snippets!

[@SecretPunk1]

Not Steven being like “oh they’re going to the bathroom by Alice and wonderland” when yall were setting up for the parade 😂

[@amyleeglassner]

Grace saying, “This ain’t my first time.” Just SENT me 😂😂😂

[@sarahhansen2598]

for all the art- once I realized that I had 100's of art pieces I had to come up with something. I decided to keep up to 12 of the most special projects each year, and all the others I ended up taking photos of and made a book for each year. Now that my daughter is almost 14 (in 2 weeks) we LOVE looking back thru each book. Hope this helps!

[@thesky8832]

There is also a company that doses this! You send them all the art , they take pictures and turn it into a keepsake book!💖

[@jennpatterson2078]

"What does world is our oyster mean?" Her little voice is so cute!

[@cassandrah-y7293]

Grace is so smart. I love hearing her thoughts. You’re such a good mom.

[@alainapecor2794]

It's sounded like Alice said "Stuck with me? How rude!" 😂 Y'all have the cutest little family ❤

[@geasty8862]

I’m a Grace and older daughter and her talking about learning to take care of the baby is so sweet and healing my inner kid ❤ what a blessing 3:23

[@erinsara7]

the transition of Sierra from non-runner to bougie runner is giving me life 😂

[@devangel3614]

Laughing so hard at Stephens "transportation box"

[@gelseyhood8905]

Alice is such a mini Stephen

[@moda78z]

Aww the intro with Bella and Bruiser is so cute! 🥰

[@JaneyRedBrick]

Art suggestion - Give each kid a bulletin board for the most recent works, and as the newer pieces replace the old ones, take a photo of each piece of the old art before throwing out, that way years later the kids can look back on their progress. They will love seeing how much their skills grow, especially as their signatures and drawn family portraits become more detailed and realistic. My adult son and I still have a great laugh looking back on pictures he drew of me, with arms and legs that came directly out of my head. This is particularly effective for three dimensional art, which is nearly impossible to store. You can even get a printed book of their gallery with various print services.

[@cherylmark1503]

Loving you and Stephen back and forth. How cool that you met up with Rachael and Stephen! Disney sure does know how to do Christmas! Ha-Ready Grace-Alice😂 Yay she did Cars!!!!

[@its.rebeccamarie]

Yay! What a fun start to vlogmas, I can’t wait to go see all the Christmas stuff at Disneyland in person!

[@annabrown3337]

Stephen is so adorable

[@risuwolf]

I love grace's sassy little, "This isn't my first time, I've done this before 💅"

[@kirstenholder7270]

To your question at 5:12 - I get the artist to select 2-3 of their favorites for display for the week, take pictures (or scan) of everything else, and put them into a running PowerPoint so we can all remember them forever. I started doing this for myself with my letters and cards, as they started taking up too much space, and it has been a great system.

[@jmunoz78]

Love videos with all of you in it!! I love the transitions from Stephen to Sierra!!

[@Lizzy43645]

I got all the feels when it cut to the clip of you on Cars!!!! So proud and excited for Grace!!!!

[@MermaidMazy]

I took photos of my kid’s art and kept the most special ones. I love to keep everything and get sad to even donate her old clothes and toys, so having photos helped so much!

[@VirgoLunaKnight]

😅😅 Stephan has gotten so good at vlogging .... 😊😊

[@evegabriella7479]

Very, very happy about vlogmas. You are a ray of positivity so having that every day is really nice x

[@devangel3614]

You are such an awesome mom It brings me so much joy to see you and Stephen and the kiddos ❤

[@TheSmalyy]

stephen saying that Alice called him mama cracked me up ! so funny

[@BadSamaJama]

Nowadays I hole punch and binder the important ones/gifts/favorites... because I have so many boxes of artworks and really had a hard time getting rid of any of them

[@JennBarkma-lb6mv]

As for the art, with four kids spanning ten years, I photograph and then toss 99% of it. It’s a good opportunity to talk about the importance of memories and experiences rather than things. For the items that we do save, I have a frame on the wall for each child with a multi-sized set of mats inside so that I can frame and hang their art. I just put new projects infront of the old ones. When it’s full, I ask the kids to decide which ones they want to keep in a folder in their memory box and which ones we can get rid of (after a photo) from there.

[@ameliegifford1477]

My bf and I just did week 4 run 1 of couch to 5k and, while I don't think I like running, I can't believe I actually ran for 5 minutes! Thanks for inspiring me to take up running

[@Bribreezzzyy]

Hell yeah! 🎉

[@StephRank]

Jackets--try Marshalls. A lot are just as good lululemon. But all else fail. Those work. Kinda chuegy now I think but they work.

[@Chocolatedestroyer98]

I’ll be there in 2 weeks I’m so excited. I remember running into you and Kenzie right in front of the parks!

[@jesshutchins8154]

My son isn't old enough for art projects yet, but I've seen picture frames/almost shadow boxes that have a door in the front, so you can continually change what is on display. I intend to get a couple of those and hang on his wall eventually.

[@jesshutchins8154]

I just googled it - "interchangeable art frames" is what i mean

[@kwilma2002]

Loved the transitions between Sierra and Stephen in this vlog! I'm not a mom but I can share what my sister did. The kids' favourite pieces got displayed in the kitchen and in the family room and everything else went into a big box. Pretty sure some of it was recycled into birthday and Christmas gift wrapping paper so their art was shared with other friends/family and then as they got older, the bins were emptied into the recycling box regularly. Having said that, I'm not too sure my nephews were ever really that attached to their paper art projects so this is what worked best for them.

[@lmbenton25]

Grace is such a wonderful communicator! I wanna have a cup of coffee with her and girl chat ❤

[@KristenAguirre-p5g]

I wish I would have started this when my daughter was little: Take a high quality picture of the art. Then make a photo book of the year In shutter fly. If that's too many books you could always condense it or change it to fit your needs. But you can have access to way more of the girls' art work and progression this way. Have a small memory box with those super special ones that you keep the physical ones of.

[@ashleyvalladares715]

Art binder! Put them all into a gigantic binder to flip through easily ❤

[@dobetterwithchristian4472]

We have a little frame my mom bought for kid art. You can add them as you get them so they can be displayed, then you rotate and toss periodically unless its special. We kept the mother's Day and fathers day ones

[@KittyCatThang]

Grace has excellent taste in Mickey ears hahaha.

[@nicolef3026]

Best thing we did for kids art was take a picture of every one, keep them in an album. Once a month pick the ones you love, unique, their favorites. Delete the rest. Once a year put all the monthly favorites in a photo book

[@LetsRomanticizeLife]

I absolutely love the 12 Days of Vlogmas! So excited 💜

[@RileyCorinne]

For the kids art, I’ve seen picture frames where you can store multiple pieces at a time and have one displayed, then continue to swap out the one on display

[@kylierosin]

For the massive amounts of artwork if you get a portfolio that artists use since they are bigger than 8.5 x 11 it’s like a little photo album.

[@hannahsheha267]

I have a target All in Motion athletic form fitting jacket that I use for pickleball. Sizing reference, I wear an 18/20 and the XXL it fits great!

[@sarahskidmore7363]

Best tip I ever saw for art - get a poster board to use and photograph each piece. Then compile into a photo book! Probably easy to use to chat books for that too

[@kaylagrosso2025]

When I worked at a daycare a parent shared with us that she took photos of all the artwork her kids created and saved them in a photo album. She would let her kids pick a few pieces to keep forever that were special but everything else would eventually get recycled.

[@MusicManatee]

12:26 sounds like the music from The Shining movie!

[@YoitsKendahl]

Hey Sierra! For cooler running weather, I’d recommend a long sleeve! I try and go for sweat wicking material. I go for a long sleeve that was as it gets even colder you can layer! I also live in Wisconsin so it’s much more cold here hahaha. I like brands like gymshark or adidas. To be honest, I thrift a lot of my run long sleeves! Also, if you’re anything like me, I get warm when I run! I always dress as if it’s 10 degrees warmer than it is.

[@Waterflame]

Take pictures of the kid's art so you can still cherish the memories, especially since you like photo albums, but only keep the ones you think will bring joy to everyone when you bring them out a decade (or two) from now.

[@heatherstein9576]

figure skating jackets are super warm, fitted, and don't shrink in the dryer. Good brands are mondor, chloe noel, jerrys, lululemon or similar to those styles. They do tend to run small though. I like jogging in mine

[@cassieorosz8528]

Just left Cali after my little 7 month job out there… and this vlog is making me miss it!! Loved the Christmas vibes!!! Loved the switch off between you and Stephen!! So much fun having the cameo from Rachel!! So excited for the rest of vlogmas!!! 💕💖🎄

[@katelynrunsdisney]

I love Athleta for fitted running jackets. I also l have one from Brooks and New Balance that are lightweight/roomier that I love!

[@tashintomorrowland]

Yay I love Sierra Vlogmas! ❤💚🎄

[@aksez2u]

Thanks for the little glimpse of Disneyland at Christmastime! I'm only a couple of hours away in Palm Springs, but my husband doesn't like the crowds and I don't have anyone else who wants to go. Maybe next year!

[@gapeach51170]

Get a clear plastic bin for each child and let that be there memory bin. If you use that as your limit you can only keeps what fits and you won't just use it for art ....so only keep the art that has sentimental value. Recycle the rest :) Also they make these picture frames that open and you can just keep adding art to display. Don't know how much it holds though.

[@dansuneautrevie2713]

Douche Goggles … man I love Stephen so much. I’ll never not call them that now.

[@UnboundedArtandCrafts]

If you let your pass expire can you get a new one later? I've only been to Disney in Paris twice so I have no idea how it's arranged in the US.

[@spriddlez]

You can tell Stephen that when you accidentally call one child by the other's name not to be embarrassed - we do that when the people in question hold a similar significance in our mind. :)

[@roscoedacat8288]

I find most of my running jackets at Marshall’s. They always have some. I’ve used Head, Jockey, Nike and no name and they all work as long as they are dri fit

[@kelseycook8097]

Art suggestion! We put the name and date on the back and and save SOME pieces. We dont save all, and we explain that recycling paper is good for the environment!

[@kelseywolf1550]

I've always had really good luck with TJ Maxx and Sierra to find good workout jackets!

[@ILikeThisTube1]

Art- take a photo of your child holding their artwork with a proud smile. Then….get ready, throw it out. I saw “duplicates” of the same art, those are easier to get rid of. Save the art that is sentimental like Mother’s Day, or the first time they actually draw a human figure. WhatsUpMoms channel has a KZbin video about kids art. They suggest to store it in a box that is labeled PreK to when they graduate elementary school. I’ve seen other parents take photos of the art and make photobooks from it. All great ideas, it’s a matter of how much time you want to invest. Advice coming from a mom of 5. I take photos, throw it out and keep the super special ones in a filing cabinet.

[@kbarker002]

I made a junk journal for the little things and I just take pictures of the large art and you could make photo books with them

[@akamanta]

Omly keep your favorite pieces of art. I have a bin for the art pieces and plan to put them in a binder or something.

[@DestinyReichenbach]

Will you please do a video in your skin care routine? You are glowing!

[@sherrellethomas6485]

You could take her art and get it binded into books. You could even look into getting your own book binder.

[@kimdillon989]

When my daughter was little, at the end f the week, we picked our favorite picture/ art project and hung it up. Then the next week, we did the same and pitched the first one. I told her I would love to keep them all but A. Our house isn’t big enough and B. It would be a fire hazard and we want to stay safe. 😂

[@tiaraklingle9377]

I take a picture of the art piece and then print a picture of it. Put all in the pictures in our artwork scrapbook! I literally just put the pictures in the book pages and that’s it!☺️

[@carolinenead]

There’s a bag you use? Can you link it- the backpack with all the compartments?

[@stephanietorres5679]

Very nice video of you two and the Disney parade.❤❤❤❤❤❤😊😊😊😊😊😊😊.......

[@kelseaulrich3668]

Stephen really said copy, paste with Alice 😂

[@jannarahikainen4676]

I'm not a mom, but my mom chose some good ones to keep. I'm an only child so mom has so meany of my childhood arts. Loving seeing vlogs every other day❤❤

[@McKatelynn]

Try Goodr glasses for running but less douche goggle appearance! They don’t slip or move around but look cute and aren’t pricey

[@elizabethvillaflor471]

Came here to recommend the same thing!

[@kathleenomeara9626]

I have been using my daughters paintings as wrapping paper

[@froppy84]

I recently got my old "masterpieces" I made in kindergarten from my mother. I wanna do a collage with it and hang it up. Probably on a canvas. So maybe keep it and someday that is something you could even do with them.

[@kelseyle3626]

Highly recommend the Bluey episode about recycling my kids don’t freak out if they see it. 😅 just reminding them it goes to make more art.

[@sadiemeek8397]

First view!! Love your vlogmas content every year, the holiday season isn't the same without them 🎄🤎

[@somuchsavv]

So my mom did a “Masterpiece” wall and we were able to hang up our art work and then at the end of the month we picked our favorite and tbh she probably threw the rest away or we gave it away 😂 but I plan to do the same thing once my girly is a bit bigger! Also Alice and my 8 month old have the same croissant pjs on currently lol Not Stephen hitting us with some Ms Rachel hahah we always have those songs stuck in our heads too 😂

[@emilielantz826]

Artkive! They make books 👏🏼💜

[@mrs.e3909]

Concerning all that great artwork that comes home from school. As a preschool teacher I have seen parents handle this in several ways. Some mothers will photograph the artwork and then load it into a photo book through Snapfish or other companies when those options go on sale. The photos of the artwork can becompiled into a computer file for each year of school and accumulate as the child grows and developes their creative expression. Some moms have created collage walls in their child's room to display projects throughout the year. I always kept a box for my own son's school work throughout the year and then at the end of the year I put back a number of things into a scrapbook or portfolio of his artwork and reports or awards. I saved these until he was a young adult and then photographed everything I felt was "save" worthy and tossed the rest. Other ideas are printing drawings onto shirts or sweatshirts for gifts for grandparents or other family, or onto cloth to sew pillows or totes. As Grace goes through school certain projects will grow on you and you will know what you want to save.

[@ashtinsmith6035]

My kids bring home so many papers from school. We heat our house with wood. So when my kids bring all their papers home and show me, they divide them into two piles. One for keep, one for heat, lol. I have a box i use for the special ones I want to keep for me. I gave them a small box to put the papers they want to keep and when that box gets full, we will go through it again and decide what is for keep and what's for heat!

[@emmas2993]

Yesss vlogmas!!!

[@gwynethsanpedro]

first vlogmas of the season! exciting times 🤭

[@hollieb3815]

For all the art I have a frame that stores it and you can change out what’s in front!!! Amazon!!!

[@xtcharmed]

WOOOO VLOGMASSSS

[@graceraven3423]

When you explain the world is my oyster quote to grace, you can also add that oysters have pearls in them sometimes, so the whole world is yours to explore and maybe you'll find a pearl. I know she is three LOL but she seems to be understanding some things that are a little bit deeper, plus she gets older she will think about it more and more. Maybe she'll ask again another day too LOL

[@julianadesouza4814]

Happy Vlogmas!!!! ❤❤❤

[@michellelovie]

Grace is growing up so fast omg 🥹 time flies

[@Ebby_MoonBunny]

Just found out I'm pregnant a few weeks ago (currently 61/2weeks) what were your go to rides when you were pregnant with Alice? I'm trying to figure out what is still doable 😂 lol

[@bbxdorkx725]

calia brand makes running jackets or like a nike they make them too

[@michelledavis5525]

For art: I look at it, I appreciate it... then it gets "sent to the farm" so to speak. The only exceptions I make are handprint art and things that. I keep those forever.

[@xixi__gg]

You can take photos of the kids artwork and get it made into printed albums!! ❤ totsl space saver

[@kanunes695]

Vlogmas is my favorite season of the year 😂
