VLOG: bad day, traveling with a toddler, vodka pasta, mom guilt + more!

[@EmilyScott-g2g]

I love how vulnerable and open you are with your followers. Everyone has these days where it’s hard to do much and guilt takes over you sharing your moments helps me so incredibly much. You are such an amazing momma and human beyond grateful for all you do. I’ll forever watch your videos

[@keshawndradavis]

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again… Jalen is a real one! ☺️ Protect this man at all costs! And Benji too for that matter lol

[@BaileyB1011]

I’ve had a dark cloud over me too the past week and Ik how it feels to be unexplainably sad. Thank you for sharing this side of you and normalizing the ups and downs of mental health

[@Ladyj588]

Sarai, please take this from a seasoned woman and mom. ☺️We do ALOT as women please listen to your incredible hubby🙂It’s ok to not be ok💐🙏🏽🙂☺️

[@grace_jamison]

She isn’t married yet

[@aosmond97]

Girl when my daughter started daycare/staying with family while I worked or did things for myself- my own mom explained it best! Your baby KNOWS that you love them and have zero doubt about that. Allow others to love him!! It’s so important! Not only do you get to make yourself better, recharge and feel better for yourself and for your baby BUT they get the chance for other people to love them!! All the love!! Remember all of your emotions are normal!! ♥️♥️♥️ The fact that you miss him and feel guilt shows you’re human and a FANTASTIC momma!! ♥️♥️

[@AliannaNicole01]

aww mama 🥹 i’m a mom too and i literally feel these emotions so hard. i feel guilty over everything and feel so sad sometimes over nothing, i can never understand what im specifically sad about . i’ve been sluggish for the past couple weeks. i wake up wanting to feel productive and motivated but i struggle to keep it consistent. we’re not alone though, and your being so vulnerable allows us to remind ourselves that it’s okay to have these days. love you Sarai!

[@NaniixP]

This is refreshing to watch.. Cause GIRL.. I feel the same way. My baby is 10 months old and sometimes I’m just not okay.. and that’s perfectly fine. We have to remind ourselves that we’re humans. You’re doing amazing and you’re a great mom 🤍

[@JndlMarte]

Sarai with the long videoooo i love it!! I love how real you are with us. You're my comfort youtuber ❤

[@BookishBeatrice]

Treating us today!!!

[@DeAnnaYork-jf9yu]

​@@BookishBeatriceYes!!!!!

[@BookishBeatrice]

I felt this! I think all moms me included feel the same way at times. Having you time is essential to be the best mama for Crew don't feel guilty about it. All mamas deserve breaks!

[@irelandcoddington3305]

Girl you are such a cute mom and good person, I seriously love watching your videos and how real you are and I’m so proud of you 💙💙💙

[@nicolemarie016]

Don’t forget that Hawaii is 3 hours behind Washington!!! So gotta adjust crews sleep schedule 🫣 this is why I don’t wanna go to Hawaii bc I reallyyyyy don’t wanna go through that lmao

[@AliannaNicole01]

i know right? i feel like that’d be such a hassle to adjust to for just a few days . i don’t think it’s worth messing up his sleep schedule just yet

[@lexustaiwhati8191]

I know this probably doesn’t mean a lot but you are by far the best momma I’ve ever seen with their baby. There’s no need to feel guilty about anything you are doing. I’ve had those times where out of nowhere I get sad and it’s okay. It’s okay to feel that way. We love you Sarai 🥰🤍

[@kaylamarie5206]

Sarai, you are so relatable. Thank you for being vulnerable, it really helps. Love you!

[@laurenbetesh9577]

You’re literally the only real KZbinr sharing the struggle of how hard it can be with the first kid! I don’t feel crazy anymore

[@dallyncolclough8915]

I know the days that you were having. I have bad days sometimes too but don’t let that stop you from being the best mom you are and living the life that you have. We’re here for you and we know you can do this. You are amazing and that’s all it matters, I’m here for you and I hope you know that

[@lesweetpea]

I feel like even if there’s a lot of things to be grateful for and even if you’re in a good position I feel like it’s still normal to feel sad sometimes and it’s okay 🙏🏽

[@sheeniesheen]

Bestie, literally everyone has those days and you honestly did a great job of not letting it completely mess up your day! I would hope no one would take that wrong as most mom’s that work know this feeling at some point. I’m putting that snail stuff in my cart lol it’s on sale right now. The skin is glowing.

[@lilydily1723]

Her shouting out single parents is so sweet ❤ but don’t feel guilty for feeling guilty!!! Being a mom is hard no matter what, you’re doing great

[@carissakindred6101]

I’m so happy you posted this today because I feel like I’m going through something similar. I don’t know if it’s the heat, but I have been very short tempered lately or where the slightest things bug me. Love you ❤❤

[@lluviasolis888]

I had a depresso day yesterday and was crying for no reason. Thank you for sharing your low moments with the world ❤

[@gaiaiscool8]

Sarai, you literally NEVER took off work after Crew was born. It seems your work and life are so intertwined that shooting a video doesn't feel the same as going into a 9-5.. but it still is work and draining. You don't need to feel guilty or justify how blessed you are - take advantage of it. Maybe take some time away from social media - which for many is just a fun place to be and scroll, but for you it's your job. you can step away boo. you're killing it regardless..

[@DeAnnaYork-jf9yu]

Love this video, Sarai!!!! You and Jalen are doing amazing as parents and Crew is so lucky to have you both!!!! It's okay to not be okay.

[@lesweetpea]

The beginning of this video is how I feel rn 😭 I don’t have a kid or anything but I don’t know sometimes I just feel trapped in my house and like I need a vacation or a change of scenery it makes me emotional too 😢 especially when I’ve been busy with a lot of stuff too or just feel like I need a break

[@tiaraoliphant8196]

I love how you authentic and real you are I think it’s what’s kept viewers for so long. I’ve been watching since pizza, ranch and cherry Coke.🎉❤

[@SofieeMaye]

Sarai ur doing an excellent job as a momma some times we have to take time for us and for our own mental well-being ❤

[@khaylapeters4139]

Sarai I totally get how you’re feeling! The last month or more I’ve been feeling so down and depressed and unmotivated. It will get better I promise 🙏🏻 everyone is feeling it right now girl 😭

[@Dimondbaby77]

I love how honest and real you are in this vlog 😌

[@afton_miller_vlogs]

You’re amazing Sarai. It’s okay to have some off days. “Adjust your oxygen mask before someone else’s.” It’s okay. You’re such a good mom 🎉

[@vlogsbyviv]

Don’t feel embarrassed about how you feel and your down days. It happens to all of us so I truly appreciate you showing this side as well. I’m glad your day got better. Love you! 💜

[@kiki.wnberg]

Sunday can’t get any better 😍 ily Sarai!❤️

[@SaraiJones]

ily!!!

[@iloveyou042810]

Girl I felt this full force. I sent my 11 almost year old to her niece and I cried 2 times because it felt weird to just sit and scroll on my phone instead of playing with my little one. But I knew deep down me and her daddy needed not only us time but our own time. I got her back and it felt amazing. It’s nothing you’re doing wrong. It’s okay to feel those emotions.

[@AliciaDowe4132]

❤u guys ur vibe always makes me feel better n YESSS your honor is a TRIP I wish they would have made more seasons

[@lifewithdez92]

Your just having one of those days mama and that’s ok I’m a mama to I feel like that all the time but sometimes we need time for ourselves I always have mom guilt whenever I go anywhere without my daughter just to have some me time but sometimes we need it I love you ♥️ your doing a great job your such a good mama

[@laurena7447]

You’re doing so good mama! I have hard days too with my almost 1 year old son. It’s so hard balancing work, being with your baby, and all the SAHM tasks. I always add Italian sausage to my vodka pasta and we love it!

[@JulieBaes-e8t]

You are a great mom you got this we love you ❤

[@Nikki...]

Your job is 24/7! I had a meltdown when mine was 3 months old..so we started nights out for me and Dad. Individual nights for us do do errands or just having alone time. I am introverted and this was a game changer for me. I came back refreshed and ready to face the rest of the week! ❤

[@eternalparadisee]

Your slick back is so CUTE 😍also I luv ur videos im an infant/tod teacher and trust me you’re doing amazing with crew. Pls give yourself grace!!

[@sarahyguillen4501]

ughh when u were taking your make up off I wanted to give you a hug and take u out for a nice cold drink like a slushy or something and get our nails done or something ❤

[@pr3ttyface.krystal]

Crew saying hello literally melted my heart 🥹🥹🩵

[@LaurenLanini-pi7pd]

i love you so much🤍 thanks for making my Sunday better - i’ve been feeling really off this past week myself

[@isabelrojas3884]

Honestly, not knowing how I feel except that I feel down is so frustrating because most people don’t understand, so I appreciate you being honest about it ❤

[@piggylicous1]

I think your mom intuition is strong and if you miss your baby because he’s with the nanny it’s ok to let her off early and you take break from work to snuggle and play with your baby if that’s what you need. If something in you is saying you need to be with your baby in that moment , do it. As moms sometimes we need that break and other times you need your baby. Just do what makes you happy and comfortable. You’re doing amazing already!

[@bc4049]

You do not need to apologize for how you feel… everyone feels things in different waves. You are ALLOWED to work without having to juggle everything at once & it is normal to miss your child when they’re away… please be gentle with yourself 🥺🫶🏽

[@jillhartranft77]

sarai it’s okay to not be okay. take a step back and take a break, be with your baby and with your family. it’s okay. well all be here for you❤

[@anareyes6044]

Girl u got me hooked on “your honor” I can’t stop watching 😩

[@paytonmcfann7701]

My son is only a couple months older than yours, and I absolutely understand the travel anxiety!! However, don’t let the flight prevent y’all from having the trip you want. Worst case, he doesn’t do well on the flight, you get through it, and then you enjoy Hawaii!! Also, practically, try some naps on the go before y’all go to train him to sleep elsewhere. Go to the lake, on a hike, out anywhere around nap time and just try to get him to sleep! We have done that with my son, and he’s learned to sleep anywhere I give him a bottle haha. Hope this helps! I feel you!

[@EmilyHummingbird]

Sweet Sarai, you have the right to have non-perfect days. We all do. You're doing amazing. ❤

[@nevershoutmakeup9623]

Sarai you’re doing good ❤ it’s gonna be okay

[@sarahrose02]

I relate to this so much sometimes I just feel this overwhelming feeling of sadness and nothing is necessarily wrong in my life and I don’t know why and I just feel so frustrated by it

[@Janiiii]

Yes Jalen we love the words of motivation ❤

[@victoriaknight9124]

We live in Hawaii and have flown Hawaii-Seattle round trip 6 times since my daughter was born May 2023. Honestly DO IT! Just bring lots of snacks, toys, movies, ect! I highly recommend getting Crew his own seat! It’s sooooo much easier! If you’re already flying 3 hours, 5 isn’t much more! ❤️

[@ashleymcelfresh]

Yes! Go to Hawaii, I took my 1 and a half year old daughter to Hawaii in January and I booked it early so she would be sleeping. She slept the whole way and Hawaii was so worth it!

[@lovekimberleyday9232]

Great video! I’m so glad u share ur down moments cause I have mum guilt and it’s real and seeing u go though it makes me feel like it’s normal somehow lol keep uo the great work Mumma love from Australia 🇦🇺👏👏👏💕💕💕

[@hannahouderkirkk8426]

Omg you look so adorable in the thumbnail !! That dress is so cute 🤍

[@Emily31662]

Girl it’s been a ROUGH past few days for me. Just gotta remember to stay in the moment and that all feelings/thoughts pass

[@BeautyToTheMax99]

Your man is right!! You're doing so good, try not to put so much pressure on yourself!!

[@sarahjoycexo]

Omg yes that picture says Crew for sure. & girl I felt the same way this past week. Just felt sad about nothing and just needed a good cry to feel better

[@ravenbrown5145]

Your honor is soooo good! Just wait gurl , the second season is even better! I watched it when it premiered on showtime & now im re watching it again on Netflix because I loved it so much😂

[@natcat7090]

Get the pump for the water table!! Best thing ever the water just keeps on coming without having to keep pouring it

[@kelliecraft9176]

It’s okay Sarai❤ I’m kind of in a funk too. I have a good job, I work in my field. I have shelter, water, food, and more material things than I need and money in my bank account. I’ve taken 3 trips this year and I have 3 more booked and ready for the rest of the year ….and I’m still in a funk. It’s okay. Sometimes you just have those funky days. We’ll get through this, girlie! We got this❤❤❤❤

[@cheniag]

Your feelings are valid. You could still want time for yourself or for you and Jalen w/o Crew. Being a mom is hard.

[@Laurensmart111]

I love you so so much and you are such a great mother. Not every day will be perfect and that is life

[@HaleysLifeAdventures]

As someone who frequently flies coast to coast (5-6hrs) with a toddler, don’t let your fears stop you! Make sure he is awakeeeee before the flight, let him run, feed him a big meal before you board, bring snacks, and let him napppp. My toddler naps through entire flights, the white noise is amazing. Snacks will help with their ears popping, bring a new toy or activity to keep them entertained, download some shows and movies, keep them in comfy clothes, I find morning and night flights the easiest. Also make sure his car seat is flight approved! (Learned that the hard way). If you have the budget, get them their own seat and have him sit and nap in his car seat so the airline doesn’t wreck the seat lol. Also it is OKAY to not be okay. I have a busteddd village and often find myself feeling like I have no motivation. Nothing is perfect and that is okay! You can’t pour from an empty cup, take care of yourself. Being a mom (I’m about to have my second) we often feel like we have to be on it and happy 24/7, but it is normal and healthy to have days where we feel just bleh. Showing your kids how to deal with low days in a healthy way, will help them in the future ❤️

[@mistynunez5629]

I loveeeee saraiiii blogs💖❤ thank you Sarai and Fam for blessings us this Sunday 🥲

[@AmeliaKniceley]

my mom was always like that too! she has a sign in the entry way of our house saying “ don’t mind the mess, our children are making memories” 🩷

[@kristenarobichaud2376]

Girl we're a military family who just moved from Hawaii to NC with a 1.5 year old. We did the red eye and bought a toddler bed for the plane and so many people said they wish they had that when their kids were younger. She also got fussy and cried for like 30 minutes but most people were so understanding about it. You guys should definitely head to Hawaii 🫶🏼

[@Jasmine_j.xx2119]

Love id say to take the trip to Hawaii, it is a longer flight but I think even if crew is more active the trip will be worth it. Maybe bring a tablet and have crew watch a movie during the trip and have some snackies. I totally feel the burnout as well. I’m not a mom but, with my own personal things going on it’s been a lot. There’s a quote I saw that says “self care isn’t selfish” which is completely true. Do what you need for your mental health, maybe one day as you’re getting your nails done and if you go with a friend or go with Jalen on a day off, have crew help pick out the color and design you want to do 😊

[@SandraAlvarez-me9bh]

I’m also from WA! We took a trip to Hawaii when my toddler now was 6 months take a night time flight !!!!!!! He slept through the wholeeeee flight I was just as nervous as you first time mom!!! Then we went to Florida when he was a 1 year old he did great again also took a night time flight slept through the whole flight !!! Went to Mexico last month now that he’s two he also fell asleep through the whole night !! Don’t be nervous ! Hawaii is soooo worth it

[@pinkbunnie57]

Hey momma what’s good. I love it when you post❤❤❤❤❤ you made my day ❤ ☀️

[@meaghanbraspenninx3077]

I need an in depth updated skin care routine from you!!! ❤

[@swiftie.forever]

my favorite mom i’d die on the floor if i ever got to meet you queen

[@sarahwright2977]

Just started my break at work, perfect timingggg❤️😂 love you, the fam and the videos🫶🫶

[@cicilmay]

I completely understand hun!! I’m a mom of 2! 18 month old and a 7 month old! It’s okay to have bad days it’s okay to cry for no reason! But Jalen is a real one better put ring on it! lol 😂 I love you girlie!!!!

[@allisonwright3216]

Sarai, this video hit me hard! I am a mom to 3 beautiful kids David-14, Sophia-12 and my sweet autistic 5 year old Caroline. I have a boyfriend but he is handicapped so I am a stay at home mom/nurse without the degree. My kids father completely blows them off every single week! He is a Disneyland dad(buys them whatever they want without seeing them ever) So I am dealing with all the mom stuff, appointments, chores, behaviors, happy moments, sad moments, attitudes, sickness, school, all of my daughters autism appointments etc. all of this on top of having severe anxiety and depression, plus learning how to care for my boyfriend who is newly handicapped! 😢😢 plus we are financially struggling horribly right now!!! It’s a lot to be a mom, I never take time for myself and need to learn to do so but I completely understand what you mean when you say Mom guilt is real!!!!! 😢I don’t even have a skin care routine! I love you and watching your videos! I literally get so happy when I see one of your videos pop up!!! Stay strong momma and I’ll try to do the same!

[@AliannaNicole01]

stay strong momma.. you’re super woman ❤️

[@amberspade15]

i’m excited to watch as always girl!👏🏽💗

[@cheer4me1000]

Yay mama finally posted. Love you queen

[@MARCALENE]

lots of snacks, movies and toys! took my 1 year old on a plane and she was good, make sure to bring something for your little one to drink during takeoff and landing

[@eyesonmarymahaney1731]

Sarai u r amazing. U r an amazing mom 👩 Jalen is an amazing boyfriend and he is the real one ❤. Keep up the good work sis 😊❤.

[@beth78532]

I traveled to and from Hawaii with a baby multiple times. I recommend a "baby lounger" (bought from Amazon) I layed baby on the floor so I didn't have to hold her and I think that helped her sleep the whole way too. The airplane has that "hum" so it's a natural white noise. And remember, most people will understand a crying baby if that happens. Be kind to yourself❤

[@crisrhodes]

My son is also high energy all over the place lol. We did a 5hr flight recently & made sure we booked a flight during nap time. We made sure he got all his energy out before our flight. Then took a 3 hr nap. So we only entertained him for 2hrs, which went by so fast! Oh we’ve done this 3 times.

[@katiesueee3750]

Omg I’m the same way with the mess! I was so ocd about my house before I had my son but his stuff doesn’t even bother. It makes me smile when I see his toys and little hand prints on the dishwasher. Nowwww my husbands mess.. that still sets me off 😂

[@natanissanderson6049]

Try staycations! It’s always fun to go to a resort close to home. If anything happens you can always go home! There’s times my son didn’t enjoy the hotel/trip we would end up leaving early if we had too.

[@madisonfiguli4946]

still shook i meant you while working at subway in Arizona!! U walked in in the pink hoodie and shorts with ur man i was like omg !! is that Sarai and am i about to make her subway sandwich what an honor

[@Aishaxk]

Yesss can't wait to watch this video. i love your vlogs

[@fashionface409]

Your skin does look fantastic and glowy!

[@elexataylor8324]

Mom guilt is such a real thing. I’m over here going through a miscarriage and feel guilty because my 4 year old wants to go to the park so bad but I am in so much physical pain I do not wanna walk around. I also have a 9 month old to take care of as well. We can only do the best we can.

[@michaelamorgan1542]

I had made the vodka pasta last night from your tiktok and it was soo good!

[@Alorajones19]

The way u described not minding a messy house with toys everywhere is how my sister feels about others taking care of her baby. She refuses to let anyone feed or change my nieces diaper. Only her and her husband can do it. My mom and i get upset bc we wanna help out but she doesn’t want help bc she knows shell never get back the 1st year of her babies life so she wants to do it all and she enjoys it.

[@keke_lavay7613]

I live in Arizona we’ve already hit the 110’s. So it’ll be so hot in August.

[@dee_byrd]

Can we all have a Jalen!? Take the trip!! Life happens fast, why not take advantage and enjoy every moment that you can! It’ll work out!

[@candymartzvlogs6630]

Yes, people can be so rude on flights because they forgot when they were kids. I’ve always been understanding to kids and mothers, even before becoming a mom.

[@dianarosa8854]

I been a SAHM for 8 months now, and I’m heading back to back to work soon. I feel sad, guilty, but also relieved that I’m going to be getting some kind of a “break”.

[@qw72897]

All of those feelings are valid!

[@robinsoady5112]

I was also have such a dark cloud moment. Like all week severely depressed and just cannot handle anything but your video made my weekend just end so much better. Crew is so cute. I grew up with u basically and I love watching your video, it’s like we’re friends FaceTiming lol, am I weird lmao?😅❤

[@panda.crawler]

mom of two toddlers here 🙋 do hawaii! Baby will love it... do a flight with a layover... breaks the flight in two and gives baby some time to run around.

we don't think you're complaining! I also love cookie dough I'm allergic to gluten and I buy the Sweet Lorens brand! 99% of the time I don't bake the cookies but they are safe to eat raw.

[@stephanierenee9145]

As someone who went to Hawaii with a one year old, GO TO HAWAII!! It's so so fun with babies!!

[@SiSi-oi5xn]

I’ve had a rough couple weeks with my mom being put in the hospital and being told she didn’t have that long. It took my man telling me that it’s ok to cry to actually be able to. I felt like I needed to not only be strong for her but myself too but that cry took all that away

[@sierrapowell6619]

I’m so early makes today the best day ever love your video so muchhh😭🩷
