ADJUSTING BASED ON MY ENERGY | DAY IN THE LIFE VLOG

[@beccaplans]

I always love watching the "Mom Cam" and the wine and cheese clips of you with your mom.

[@AmyRaePlans]

Great vlog! When my cat Gizmo was alive, he used to always try and eat the plastic shopping bags from the stores and yarn. 🍷

🍷 and for your questions 1) I live in Europe and I don’t think we have something like that over here (could be wrong though). Our regular shops do stock some brands of cookies or other snacks in smaller portions to take with you. Ant other option might be to look into some kind of packing method so you can bring your own snacks or split and package things into smaller portions. 2) Everything you thing it might be nice to show us. Basically everything you feel secure enough of showing on the internet 😅 3) I tend to take notes on people’s interests, hobbies or needs and try to gift accordingly. To buy for children might be tricky in that aspect because sometimes they change interests quickly!

Thank you so much for sharing your thoughts and answering the questions!!!

For vlogmas, I think you said you weren’t filming your December Daily process, but I’d love to see finished pages you’d like to share. I like to see what others do and use them as inspiration for mine.

🍷 loved this video!!

1. I have not used Thrive Market and I'm not helpful to answer this question. I too have only seen influencers use it. 2. I'd be interested in any Christmas/Holiday movies, shows, and music you've been enjoying this season. Reading content is always fun including holiday books. Filming behind the scenes including the podcast. 3. I'm excited to continue completing the original Nancy Drew book series for my mom as I find them at used book stores. My mom always treats me to a bookstore trip over Christmas break where we shop books and catch up at the cafe.

Aw love that gift idea!! Thank you for answering the questions!!

For my boyfriend, I commissioned a watercolor painting of a special location we vacationed to a few years ago and loved❤️a special, personalized gift and supporting a small business/artist! 🍷🍷

[@margaretmurphy6623]

When my kids were munchkins, I made a shutterfly calendar of them for the grandparents and the aunts and uncles using photos from each month of the previous year. My oldest kid is now 20 and I still make the calendar. I have added in their cousins into the calendar and am now putting in throwback photos too. It's awesome because for the most part I can make one calendar and just print copies for everyone and all of the family still asks every year if I will be doing it.

[@PlanwithLaken]

That is a FANTASTIC idea!!!! Thank you!!!

[@debrateter6098]

🍷 love the podcast!! Have not used TM but if you can find the snacks/stuff you need sent directly to your house for a reasonable price, then I would say it’s totally worth it. Also, love reading content, food/workout stuff, any BTS for your channel and/or the podcast during Vlogmas. Not sure about gift ideas but experiences or things y’all can do together would be fun and thoughtful. 🫶🏻

[@PlanwithLaken]

Thank you so much for supporting the podcast!!

[@ashleyevans4938]

I have used thrive market and i would say there are a lot of good options for kids snacks and thats what we mostly got. We have 3 kids so it got to be kind of pricey. I do think its a good value for some things though. I would suggest looking at the site and seeing what staples they offer or what things you might want to try and then do a price comparison at your local stores.

[@ashleyevans4938]

Also I got my girls a Tonie box! Target and kohl's i think have good deals!

[@PlanwithLaken]

That makes sense, thanks for sharing!! I've been considering a Tonie - I wasn't sure if she was old enough??

[@ashleyevans4938]

@@PlanwithLaken it plays music and tells stories so if not now maybe for her next birthday?

🍷 Everyone has enough stuff I would say experiences for gifts 😏

[@handmadebykandi]

We tried Thrive Market - but I have cancelled my subscription because I was able to get almost everything I was ordering in my local stores for LESS. I would think since you're in a bigger city the same would be true for you. I think Thrive is better for more rural areas with less shopping options available to them locally

[@PlanwithLaken]

That makes sense! I guess I need to dig around a little more at the grocery store!

[@Bellesbooknook]

I thought about trying thrive but found the same thing! Items were cheaper at my local stores.

[@Jwhackers]

Thrive market- overly expensive in my opinion, plus i always buy more than i need to make it "worth it" to order, if that makes sense.

[@PlanwithLaken]

Definitely makes sense! Thanks for sharing!!

[@lmm831611]

🍷I tried Thirve Market but I found it to be cost-prohibitive when I really broke down the costs. They try to spin it in many ways to make it look cheaper but it really was not for me.

[@PlanwithLaken]

Thanks for sharing your thoughts!!
