wrap + yap & changing up our bedroom | VLOGMAS DAY 9

You need to keep the empty dog adventure calendar for next year. You can then fill it with treats and toys you know she will enjoy

[@MosaicRose99]

Great idea. :)

Put the couscous in a bowl and por boiling water over it. Wrap.up.with saran wrap and let it sit for t minutes. No burning. Plus you can season it as you wish. So easy.

[@whirledpeas5717]

How many minutes? I want to follow your directions!😊

[@laurajeffcoat4731]

I do mine the same way just boil the water turn off heat add couscous and spices then cover it doesn't take long maybe 3/5 minutes

[@kirstihubbard6783]

I also came to the comments to help with the couscous! 😂 Bring water/stock to a boil then stir your couscous in. Put a lid on the pot and remove it from the heat. Let it sit for 5 minutes and DONE! I like a lot of garlic or shallot/onion in everything I eat so usually I will sauté that in the same sauce pot before I boil the liquid!

[@reginaray3820]

I just love the way you spend time with Kinsley! She loves her mama! You have loved and spent quality time with Cade without neglecting Kinsley and that’s special! Awesome job, Mom!

[@hintex487]

It’s so heartwarming to see the love and balance you’ve created with Kinsley and Cade.

[@lisatheintuitive]

Macenna and Romeo’s relationship is such goals. I honestly don’t know anyone else who have such respect for each other. They are good friends, and you can tell there is no resentment or animosity by the way they communicate with each other. They are the blueprint ❤

[@Lucinda_Jackson]

My parents were like this - got married when Daddy was 23 and Mother was 20. Were together very happily and respectfully until he died at 77. They were still very much in love and never really fought - little spats here and there that resulted in a half hour of silence and some eye rolls, but nothing more. My best friend and her husband have the same kind of relationship. They share some interests, but are really supportive of each other's outside interests. Nothing but respect and love. They also met at work and were friends. She almost refused to go out with him on an actual date because she was afraid of losing such a wonderful friend until she realized he had actually become so much more already. He, of course, had already figured that part out so it worked beautifully.

[@lisatheintuitive]

@@Lucinda_Jackson I honestly think Macenna and Romeo together in a video is my favourite part because they display such a wonderful relationship and always have. You can always tell by how a couple speaks to each other what they really feel about the other and these two have such a beautiful mutual respect and admiration of each other, it warms my heart ☺️

[@Lucinda_Jackson]

@ I feel the same. I, too, love to watch them together. I love to watch their faces when they speak about one another (99% MaCenna since it's her channel and her talking). There's a gentleness, a softening and a sparkle. They tease, but never in a mean way. They just have fun and laugh together. I think if I had one piece of advice to young couples starting out, it would be if you find you're not having as much fun or laughing as much together, start working on things! I didn't say it, but my daughter is lucky enough to have this same relationship with her husband. It's a joy to watch! And I'm happy my grandchildren are growing up with such a positive example to follow.

[@toni3866]

I agree! Does anyone know if they’re married? I’m so curious about her life. She’s so interesting and cool.

[@Dana-fn5zt]

@@toni3866 they’re not married maybe that’s why they get along so well lol

[@emerald_rabbit]

In response to not being able to 100% finish a project in one video... my husband and I call ourselves "95%-ers" because we always get a project almost all done before we call it quits and have to move on to the next thing 😂 I would personally love to see you do a video where you go back and finish the last "5%" on various projects. It would be so satisfying to watch you put those last touches on things!

[@addicbaddic]

She has videos like that! I remember one time she had a checklist of things she didn't finish and had to go back to, but I don't remember what video it was 😭

[@emerald_rabbit]

@addicbaddic yeah, I think it was at the cottage? I'd still love to see it again 😆

I agree! Parent like you never heard of the internet. Unless you have a concern about something that you're not sure is serious medically or you just need a quick folk remedy for something.

Kinsley's tiny little tail starting to wag when she saw the ball in the advent calendar was just so sweet.

[@marciamellow1211]

Being with you, is like being with your best friend❤

[@carolhubley4765]

That little Kinsley is the most adorable dog. She loves her mama.

[@ninaoaster8039]

I had three children under 4 years old. at the time as a single mom with also a full time job ( due to hard circumstances) it was difficult, HOWEVER, my kids are now all in their 30"s and are so close and help each other all the time. I wonder how it would have been if they were alone or far apart. They are a blessing to each other. When I leave, they will have each other and it will make it so much easier. IMO nothing is more wonderful than have children that have siblings I am so blessed as a mom. I'm so happy for you and Romeo. You are such wonderful parents and Cade ( and any other children) will be also blessed, Merry Christmas to your entire family and blessing and prayers for the new year!

[@lerojoful]

That “getting on the table” habit is going to be hard for Kinsley to break! 🫣

[@striketochill]

She’s been on the table long before Vlogmas started lol

[@ianmini757]

Its fine, just wipe down the table before you eat on it. No biggie

[@emeraldsea28]

Doesn’t seem to bother them. No big deal. 😊

[@welldonewit5129]

Cous cous, boil the water like hot rolling boil, then add the cous cous stir and remove from heat and put the lid on. Leave alone for a stretch (8-10 mins) check if the water was absorbed and it should be bc it's like one to one and a half ratio, fluff with a fork. That's the way I do it and it works

[@clarehartland150]

That’s a great attitude to being a parent - just roll with it. My daughter is 11 now, but she was born at 28 weeks, so none of the usual milestones ever applied to her. It actually felt like a pressure had been lifted to not have to compare her to any other baby. My mum said not to forget that when she had me, they didn’t have the internet and social media, you just carried on and occasionally got advice from your mum, family or friends. And it wasn’t advice you had to take either!

[@peggymarshall5671]

This is probably information what most young parents need to hear right now! Wish I had that insight when my guys were younger!

When my daughter was little, we celebrated every three months, three months, six months, nine months and one year. I think everybody does that. It’s just a milestones that us parents love to watch their first teeth their first word their first step first smile first day of school.

[@Mandy4610]

I am 17 mins in and 2 things resonated: 1 - When it comes to my kiddos birthday (twins) - they give me a theme and I make it happen. They also participate in the making. I love it. 2 - When an idea enters my heads, I often cannot let it go either 😬

[@loricowell3911]

Hey sweetheart. Well my 2 children were 5 yrs almost to the day, apart. In most ways it was great! (Boy first then my girl) it gave me one on one time with my daughter becuz my son was starting school when I had her. (Shortly after that, he was diagnosed with a brain tumor, he is ur age now, has deficits from treatment but he’s cancer free. Praise God!) ANYWAY, I think waiting at least 2 years is a good plan!! I feel if u have them closer, neither gets the best of you when they really need it, but you’ve gotta do what works best for u guys!! ENJOY Cade, they are little for such a short time. Merry Christmas to you and Romeo and ur sweet momma❤

[@Patti-1962]

I totally agree with making a life with a partner who is your best friend. When I met my husband, I was dating someone else. But he became my best friend, and we talked for hours every night on the phone. Of course, we fell in love. That was 37 years ago, and he is STILL my favorite person to be with, and we just love being together, even if it's shopping, or cooking etc. We have had some very major traumatic events over the years (losing our parents very early in life) and one of our children had a major stroke at 22. But those events brought us closer together because we see things the same way. We are a TEAM!!

[@scarlethenderson6510]

3 years apart is a good way to have your children that way the oldest one is walking talking and doesn't need as much assistance as a newborn

[@marmeeh]

Our 1st two were 2 1/2 years apart. It was good.

[@ritaevans7125]

My boys are 2 years and 3 months apart. I love how close they both are, and I think the close age has really impacted that. I was 38 with my first and 40 with the second, not a norm at the time. They continue to keep me feeling young, and their age made others think I was younger than I am. I wanted to be prepared parents offering a great life to my children and thought being older and more mature would be best. I learned life doesn't always follow expected paths. For sure it has really been most important to my sons to be so close in age. You are right life pushes you in different ways, and I so agree COVID made it a less than ideal time for Moms and Dads. My sons were grown, but in at risk work, so I worried about them, something that evolves, but still remains in its own way for parents.

[@ritaevans7125]

Your brain will return. I was so afraid I was going to be stuck with a pregnancy brain. It was a relief when normal thinking and attention returned.

[@Lucinda_Jackson]

I think 3 is a great gap. Three year olds want to help and be like their parents. They are pretty good at following directions at that age, too (assuming they are age appropriate). They're also ready for some independence and this is the perfect combination for being able to love the baby without being too jealous (because they've already begun separating) and wanting to bring you diapers or whatever else you need.

[@nancyroorda2824]

I always buy rolls of ribbon from Hobby Lobby to wrap presents and they look beautiful. Plus you can reuse them. Regarding babies just be aware that the older you get the harder it is to conceive. So waiting is a risk. You may be just fine having one, but if you really want another child you should not take the risk of waiting too long.

As my son was approaching his first birthday he definitely started having favorite things. He had one book that was a clear favorite so we decided to make his birthday that. We still have some of the "decor" as keepsakes and toys. They're very special. He's 6 now. My boys are 3 years apart. 2 years apart would have been better, I think. They're finally getting to the stage of being best buds. It's wonderful.

🤣 Kinsley sure loves toy balls. She's so funny with the ornaments & it seems anything round. Six months already, wow. What a cute age for Christmas. My sister & I are 2yrs 9mo apart & we have been close all our lives. She's not just my sister, but my best friend & we're in our 70s now. With my grandchildren I have bought them a Hallmark ornament each year until they are 18. I would get something that seemed to be their interest of the year & I included a note to keep in the box from me. When they move out one day, they can take their ornaments & read a memory from grandma each Christmas. Relish your memories. ❤❤😊

You don't need to "cook" couscous. Pour boiling water into the couscos and let it soak for 5 minutes and it is ready (equal parts couscous and water).Simple as that! You can also use vegetable stock or other seasonings for taste.

[@MisSuperghina]

For the couscous issue: I start cooking it on a pot (usually a cup for two people), I cook in some olive oil for a minute untill it's a bit toasted and then I pour the same amount in volume of water and a pinch of salt in the couscous pot, turn off the heat, cover and let it sit for 5 minutes, then I fluffy it up with a fork. Done and humbly perfect👌🏻

[@kaitymcclary8839]

First of all, I love all your videos, and have learned so much and even though I haven’t tackled many projects yet, I feel confident just because you tried, and experimented, and succeeded. Thank you for that ❤️ I also really appreciated you talking about becoming a mom, because I’m 31, and would love to be a mom someday, but I’m afraid of being ‘older’ and having a baby. You have handled your journey and experience with such grace, and I know not everyone’s body is the same, but hearing you talk about becoming a mom really has spoken to some deep part of me that is so excited to be a mommy. So thanks for sharing that ❤️

I had my child at almost 38, I liked that I was a more mature parent at the time but now I wish I was around your age or give or take a few years. Most of my daughter's friends parents are younger than I am and I feel as if I cannot relate to them in some things.

I think Ryan Reynolds described the love for your child the best (paraphrasing, he said) I love my wife. More than anything. But the first moment I looked at my baby, I knew I would use my wife as a human shield to protect her. Perfectly describes the unconditional love a parent can feel for their child. I’m not surprised that Cade is your everything. My daughter is my everything. I walked off a job recently because my boss wanted me to put work before her and her needs. Not going to happen. She’s my world and irreplaceable.

As a mother of three... the adjustment from 1 to 2 kids was huge. My 3rd was just one more. Easy. (for more info, I had the 2nd when the 1st was almost 4, I had the 3rd when the 2nd had just turned 3.) My criteria was I didn't want more than 1 baby in diapers at a time. They're best friends now which brings me more joy than I could ever put into words. PS. all these 1sts are yours. Cade won't remember anything until he's 3-5 years old.

I had lots of nail holes to repair from the previous owners but I added many many more. Some of them I moved three times but I am crazy to NOT have them too high. Also couldn’t decide the correct room so moved them around but thankfully I love doing touch up paint so all is well with my soul and walls.

My boys are 15 months apart ( I was in my 30’s and clock was ticking). It was challenging at first, like having twins but you do have help with Romeo. After the diaper phase it was easier and a lot of fun. Highly recommend!

[@MG-zt1sc]

I had two under two, two boys 21 months apart. It was not planned but so welcome and a lot (builded a house when they were three and nearly two with a lot of diy) but it was great. I would do it again and would highly recommend. Their needs were different but similar. Three years after my second boy my doughter was born. That felt like starting new. But it felt very special too, because at 33 (being 28 when having my first was 1997 a high risk „gereatric“ pregnancy, called a „late mum“ in Germany) i knew she would be my last child (and finally a girl!). My boys were stunning big brothers and now they are nearly 28, 26 and nearly 23, they all went different ways but are still close. I was a working mum (28 hours per week) and glad to have help from my mother in law (sometimes difficult… if you know you know). When the kids were three, they went to the kindergarden from 8.30 am till 12.30. My children are the sense of my life. ❤
