THIS DIDN'T GO AS PLANNED // week in the life vlog

You are seriously such an amazing mother🫶🏼🫶🏼

Taking toddlers to the dentist is hard. What I did after the disaster appointment when my son was 2 was read books about the dentist, talked about the dentist when we brushed his teeth, and played dentist! It worked. His next appointment was night and day difference.

Burger bowls, tacos/nachos, sausage n veggies, and pepperjack chicken! YUM! Lovw you lady, you're rocking it!

[@saracockburn7468]

So encouraging to hear you talk positively about 2 year olds! So refreshing! I have twins who are somehow almost one 😢😢😢 But the ‘just wait until’ warnings about them walking, turning two, having tantrums etc etc really doesn’t settle well with me.. thanks for the positive outlook ❤

With crockpot season coming up Chicken Chili is a must!! So easy. I use 1lb of chicken thighs (you can also do breasts) with a can of black beans, a can of corn, a can of Rotel, 8oz cream cheese, and seasons: salt, pepper, onion powder, garlic powder. Cook on low for 6/8 hours. Shredded chicken and serve with some shredded cheese and sour cream! So yummy.

I love that 2 year old stage. When you realize how much they know and their cute comments. I could do grilled burgers, hot dogs or chicken every day this time of year. I am also ready for cooler weather and wear sweats all day!

[@AbigailDelano]

My favorite dinner meal right now is haystacks! You use corn chips as a base and then make taco meat, cut up tomatoes, lettuce, rice, beans, shredded cheese and sour cream or any other toppings you want. Combine it all on a plate and BAM - easy and delicious.

Frozen mini tacos that I cook in the air fryer. They are from Costco. The only thing I do to them is squirt like juice on them after they are halfway heated. I rotate them and cook them again. When they are finished I squirt more like juice on them.

[@jessicakoppers1121]

Definitely excited for fall & winter cooking! Especially love instant pot meals like an easy roast dinner, chicken noodle soup or apple pork chops. When I was home on mat leave I would prep these meals during naps and then all I had to do was turn it on before dinner. Another classic favourite if you have extra chicken is a chicken pot pie. I buy the pre-made pie crusts and follow the Pillsbury recipe ☺️💕

[@emmagracejoens]

Yummm I need all the cozy meals!!

[@brittneystevenson8587]

I made a quick pivot to some frozen cheese tortellini to mix it up and 3/4 people in my house were happy for a change!

[@emilyclark8772]

You’re right about Tuesday. It’s so weird. Every time I have a bad Tuesday I think “Emma’s right!!!” It’s a curse

[@rachellehochstetler]

Right now we are loving air fried salmon with the rice and green beans or broccoli. We also love anything grilled so chicken or burgers with broccoli potatoes and peppers in the grill basket.

[@devinrussell59]

Chicken cheese veggie quesadillas, pasta, cereal if I don't feel like cooking or cook frozen pizzas, and pan sheet sausage and veggies. - Janis

[@WilliamTheUnkownShoutout]

This is very Heartwarming and very wonderful and very beautiful and very adorable and this brings back great memories of when I use to be a 90s kid and an early 2000s kid and I am a new subscriber as well:).

[@sweethearthome]

My top meal is philly cheesesteaks. I buy a thin sirloin for like $12, hoagie buns, 2 bell peppers and provolone cheese. It makes a lot - about 4 sandwiches in total and they are huge. We just grill it on on our blackstone.

[@emmagracejoens]

Ohhhh we haven’t had those in a while I love them!

[@barbararyba734]

Emma, teachers are coming home late and just getting by! Pasta and store bought sauce tonight. I think we ate at eight 🤣Don't you miss that? Back to School Night week is a tiring, just get by week. Planning meals for next week.

[@carlybham]

What a fun surprise on this Saturday!!!

[@breannawisneski3078]

love a Saturday upload!

[@hannahbrownell6269]

Here’s my thought for your bathroom. If you don’t love the frame, return it for a frame you LOVE. You can paint over that canvas and have your girls put their feet/hands all over it in colors you love. I think it would be the perfect touch in that bathroom.

[@debdobransky1246]

I like to make beef or turkey bowls. I make an asian sauce mix it with the meat, rice, and a roasted veggie or lettuce. And my easier go to option is bbq chicken.

[@70sMixTapes]

Absolutely more space buns are needed in the world 😂 I have been enjoying tortilla wraps, warm charred with chicken or lamb strips and salad. Also a refreshing vegetable noodle soup supercharged with extra noodles and chilli.

[@Personaltouchmotherhood]

I just made cheeseburger soup with dinner rolls. We also love steak, mash potatoes, and broccoli. But yes hamburgers and homemade fries are our favorite too

[@Britneealoisio]

We’ve been loving BLTs! ❤

[@leticiaangel3127]

Chicken teriyaki! It’s nice how easy it is to change up the veggies. We usually do carrots, broccoli and peppers

[@sweethearthome]

I have a black circle mirror above my sink and love it. I got it from Lowes. An arched mirror would also be cute.

[@WaterxWolfx100]

I've been all about meals I can make in the crockpot. I'm in a season where I just don't have the mental energy to devote to cooking dinner. I like being able to throw ingredients together while my 1 year old eats her breakfast and then forget about it the rest of the day. Top crockpot meal: Hawaiian meatballs

[@emmagracejoens]

Wait that sounds amazinggg thanks for the idea!

[@tianna906]

Summer burgers, meatball subs and Ceasar salads

[@hannahcherney5627]

Have a great weekend, Emma😀

[@smithwhanau1]

Love your videos!!! What book were you using with Jo? It looked awesome!

[@matthewnarvet7891]

ramen soup and teryiaki noodle bowls

[@nicholewalker8592]

My go to is chicken spaghetti or chicken potpie

[@eggwonna]

Our go-to for months has been the “Honey Sriracha Ground Chicken and Broccoli” bowls - it’s Mason Woodruff’s recipe on the “Kinda Healthy Recipes” website. But we like to replace the ground chicken with ground turkey 😊 I seriously made that once a week for probably 2 months straight 😂 I actually triple the recipe so we get good lunch leftovers throughout the week!

[@emmagracejoens]

That sounds so yummy!!

[@lauraf80]

I also loved 2❤

[@maggiebranch9296]

Hey Emma

[@shaylinedmond2256]

Go to dinner: Korean beef bowls 😋

[@maddie8998]

I totally forgot about the $1 Elf!!

[@kathrynevans6293]

You may have already answered this question in another video, but do you do 0 screen time? I’ve been really limiting it with my son, but doing 0 screen time might be my eventual goal. Thank you for your encouragement! It’s not always easy to be a mom, but I wouldn’t trade it for anything.

[@emmagracejoens]

Right now yes! We like to have one family movie night a week on the weekends but sometimes we don’t even do that.

[@kathrynevans6293]

@@emmagracejoens Wow, that’s awesome!

Dentists are scary no matter how old you are...at least in my opinion lol

[@emmagracejoens]

Hahaha so true though

[@matthewmok1575]

My 11 year old daughter Ashley would do a week in her life

[@ashleybarrera37]

Our top meal is literally your zucchini flatbreads that you made in an Instagram story once 😚🤌🏻 I just made it as I watched this video😂😂

[@emmagracejoens]

omg i forgot about those!!!! i need to make immediately
