What a Real Day in the Life of a Parent Looks Like | Tantrums, Meals and Organizing Chores

[@jacintasalt8731]

It’s a good example for your daughter to see her mom take care of herself. Thank you for sharing your day.

[@HealthNutNutrition]

couldnt agree more its important to show her that i cant be my best unless my cup is atleast half full

[@KeirstenHeinlein]

My son is 3.5 and the phase you described with Sage we've had many times. I feel like when they're wildin' like that it's because they're going through a big developmental leap. Then the calm you get after is them having gone through it, and you'll notice those little things like better communication etc. showing that their little brains were developing. 🥰

[@HealthNutNutrition]

yes exactly!!

[@soulstrengthsanctuary]

Such a great Mom. Love the way you try to get her focus on what she may want when she is fixated on something is probably not best for her. Going through those tantrums with my toddler who is 25 months was a learning experience and still is, but helps you grow as an adult too. It is so challenging when they are in the eye of the storm and you didn't expect a hurricane.

[@Blacksweets]

Haven't missed an episode in years. I feel like I've grown with you as a Mama. We had our babies around the same time. Now, I'm missing your cleaning videos. Seeing cleaning, please! 😍

[@JasminPatuzzo]

Ugh love these real vlogs! you are such a great mom and woman. Thank you for being you and transparent, real.

[@shantalalcoba1301]

Love Love Love your casual vlogs. Its so comforting and refreshing to see the similarities as another first time mom. Thank you!

[@hektortheturtle]

I think is better to not give a choice to a toddler if there is no choice. I mean, asking if she want a vitamin d, then 99% she will say no :D It is better to give a choice with time, do you want to take your vitamin now or in 10min or something. Toddlers like to make decisions. The same with breakfest, whatever you propose she will say no, until you give her two choices to choose from - the best something you want to eat and will do anyway. It is possible to manage whatever you do, because your child is not stubborn hardcore way, but I think this could be easier and more comfortable for you. It just a ways to do, but you will know always the best.

[@layberl]

Currently drinking a tea and watching this before my 20 month old wakes up. Was so refreshing to see the real struggles, definitely can relate and made me feel like a "normal" mum so thank you so much for sharing!

[@HealthNutNutrition]

we are all dealing with our own little struggles while navigating motherhood you are not alone lady!

[@amandalewandowski5291]

Just want to say thanks for sharing currently going through some tantrums with my toddler and was getting really down like I was doing something wrong it was nice to see that there are other ppl going through the same thing.

[@sarahkirshner6152]

Hey Nicole, As a mother of three kids, I see it- not all kids are created equal. Some children are high needs children, or high maintenance (not to be confused with special needs) while others are naturally more relaxed and go with the flow. Really important not to compare to friends' kids and not to beat yourself up over difficult behavior. I highly recommend reading the book " How to Raise Your Spirited Child" by Mary Kurchinka. Best of luck mama❤

[@dariapolianceva3485]

Ive been here with u since the birth of my daughter6 now she is 10 months! time flies! can u please the video on having the second baby and when do u think it is the perfect time) Thank u

[@Thealbatross2010]

You’re a great mom!!! Always relatable for other moms

[@etak332]

As a mom of a toddler I've never related to anything more than the support elephant needed at breakfast 😂😂 ours is elmo. He must be present for meals.

[@tamidana7808]

You guys are an awesome team and such a cute family! I started watching when you were pregnant and can't believe how big she is!

[@elena-oo3fc]

How cute is your daughter Nicole!!!❤ you are a very kind and very good mother !!!You are doing the best you can!!Keep up going!!❤

[@kristysamoilich8380]

Oh my goodness, Sage has grown so much since the last vlog. Her hair! So cute.

[@jchoco453]

On point Nicole! You are amazing and inspire me! ❤

[@ninarechin2531]

Can you do a video of what her current routine is, with sleep and eating and the times and everything. And what her development is going like. I want to mentally prepare for this age with my girl.

[@sravyaveer]

Aww i missed these vlogs sooo much! Plz post such every week if possible

[@laurawells1598]

Love this type of vlog! I could watch your videos for hours

[@MsZelda98]

Love your videos and how real life you are with raising a toddler! Can you share the vitamin brand you use for Sage?

[@JJ-mh4xd]

❤ love the video and the inspiration of just doing 5 minutes of self love!

[@andreeasindiescu5053]

Yes!! More vlogs please! 😍

[@ashleythyssen1210]

As much as I love this channel, I'd like to touch base on the "energy" part. One child is easier than 3 or 4. Having family near and help is also going to make things easier. Please don't feel like you're doing something wrong if you're too tired to exercise and cook from scratch every day. Everyone's life and story is different than another Moms.

[@lucky13laws]

Hi Nikole, Can you please 🙏 tell me where did U buy that Cute Tshirt that says MAMA at ??? Thanks 😊 in advance for your help!!! Hope you can respond!!! Congratulations on your second pregnancy by the way!!! God bless you!!! Your videos on your first pregnancy 🤰 truly helped me to give birth naturally without any cuts down there! Your techniques helped me! I have a 2 years old boy 👦! You are very inspiring person!!! God bless you!!

[@princessangeladove]

I missed you guys so much!!!! 😍😍😍♥️ My heart is always full of joy when I see you post a new and LONG video 😂😂😍🙌🤣♥️ I always yell out “Sageyyyyyy” to my 2yr old son lol he imitates me in his own language lol Sagey is so darn stinking cute 😍🥰♥️ and she’s grown so much and came so far!!👏👏🥳🥳 I saw how shocked you were when she was counting lol I can’t wait till my son gets there too 😍‼️👏 Love you guys so much!!

[@lenaharman1343]

i really love how authentic and genuine your vlogs are. My toddler just had his first really big tantrum today and i really struggled, felt like i was a bad mom and that it was my fault... you showing and talking about the harder times with a toddler is just such a breath of fresh air and made me feel less crappy about the whole situation. I had to laugh when you said thank gawddd shes a good sleeper, because im in the same boat there too, good sleeper but big emotions!

[@Swaggy_Maggot]

I loved the video! :) you always motivate me for mealprepping, eating more healthy and being more active. Honestly i completely changed my lifestyle because of you. My favorite videos are the „what i eat in a day/week“, looking forward to the next one of that kind :). Sending good vibes

[@ninarechin2531]

Nikole, you always look good because you are naturally pretty and you dont need makeup to look nice. I really love these "real" life vlogs. Like my girl is 13m and we've been going through these moments of her not really eating or liking her food. And its just frustrating and im sure its normal but its frustrating. So more of real videos and the development would be great!

[@NikkiScatch84]

Sage is sure a busy toddler! Gotta keep your eye on them every second!

[@Kobaltsierra]

I know this will come off rude and I don’t mean it that way at all it’s genuinely a question. Do you ever do sages hair? Like braids , pig tails a little bun etc 😊 just thought it would be cute but idk if you have started trying out hairstyling her hair.

[@SummerBearrys]

Love these videos! 💕

[@jessicahare8518]

Sage feeding her teddy pizza was soo adorable 🥹

[@sdl5731]

Random fact: I was gonna name my daughter Sage but I read on kabalarians she’d be a difficult child with too much of an independent streak lol. Kudos to you. You got the harder one first. My last one is a huge pain in the ass 😂

[@livingpositivelytoday]

She’s so cute! ❤ Actually you look the best that you’ve looked in the morning. 👍 NICE cooking with her. 👏

[@agajaniuk5027]

Haha you look great mama. I look like I’m lost for the first 30 mins if not an hour.

[@ashwiniramdas3558]

Hi Nicole....misd sagee nd u.....I was really for ur videos to upload.... really like ur day in a life videos bcz u try to make it real as possible...

[@HealthNutNutrition]

[@ΝασιαΓεωργιου-ε2η]

Life with a toddler can be very stressful. I have the same difficult child and every second is a battle

[@SofiaAbrantes]

I can relate to Sage, I also have a hard time when my "brain is working so hard" 😂

[@danielledonkers550]

Always love watching your vlogs :)

[@maseeharassack7525]

Hi. Love your vlogs. Keepin ir real never gets old. Ur honesty is refreshing. Was feeling sorry for Mat about the tasty lookin enchiladas must hav been smelling soo good too😊

[@cathycurtis1218]

Hi! I'd love to hear more about how Matt helps with Sage!

[@HealthNutNutrition]

He does everything I do and more probably lol we have a Q&A coming next week which we chat more about parenting stuff

[@nadiachet724]

Mom's have to have to take care of themselves too because we need our strength and energy for fuel ...kids are priority but we can't forget about ourselves ...it becomes more challenging if the mom has more than one child because how you supposed to find that kind of time ... I'm a stay at home mom of 5 kids in my middle 30's . ...kids are like energized bunnies that never get turned off lol...

[@ashwiniramdas3558]

My almost 2yr old baby girl is just being crazy nowadays and I try to have very much patience towards her I try not to scold her everytime for her tantrums and make her understand politely....would u suggest which one would be better for them nd us as a parent...

[@rebeccamcdade7114]

For all the comments that say “you have a challenging toddler”… Uhmm do you even have kids cause like I watched the video waiting for some crazy tantrum and didn’t see it lol What I saw was a little toddler being a toddler. Are some moments harder then others, absolutely I’m sure but I don’t think it’s right to give her that title. Are they going to push back, test the limits, express themselves in what may feel like explosive ways.. Yes but that is how they learn and grow. Side note, does sage have a hint of red in her hair or is that just how the camera picks it up? My boy is a full on red hair and he’s got the spicy personality to go with it 😂

[@hopenoland6656]

I truly mean this in the kindest of ways, you've got yourself a challenging toddler. But I do believe that if you have difficult toddlers, they may grow to be more easy-going kids. My son, for example, was a fairly easy toddler but became much more emotionally challenging as he got older. Luckily, it's mostly all phases and even though some phases seem like they're never ending, they do eventually end and get better.

[@surlespasdondine]

True. Even though most toddlers I know are difficult to deal with because their brain is immature and not really able to deal with big emotions and be rational. And yes it depends. My first was very difficult as a newborn, a little less as a toddler (but still hardcore) and super easy to deal with as a child and preteen.

[@livingpositivelytoday]

I think Nikole is doing the right things. She's an extremely happy little girl. I think her body is telling her something. ❤

[@The_Sour_Dough]

Hahahaha Matt sounded so salty about those enchiladas. My son is cutting teeth hard right now and the last hour before bed you would of thought he was being tortured with his crying but yes to the good sleepers!!! My son has slept in his own crib since 2 weeks old and through the night 7-7 since he was 3 months.

[@lysandra_silva]

What is the name of the orange smoothie cup that sage uses?

[@Theherbalempress]

Awe sage looks cute in green 💚

[@maryannesy59]

Sage and my son almost same age. He is exposed to his cousins that have tantrums and some behavior i really dont like, and he is kind of absorbing those behavior and its really a challenge for me. Sometimes makes me think im not doing my best to discipline my son.

[@Suebearish]

Look up info about developmental leaps

[@livingpositivelytoday]

I'm wondering if a little whole grain wheat toast with her coconut pancakes in the morning would keep down tantrums? Just saying ... And this type of suggestion throughout her meals. My body is fragile like a child's and feels irritated when I don't get regular carbs (grains, potatoes, rice, etc). She's too happy of a little girl to get a bit moody. That could be why she's crying out for snacks at meal time, her body is telling her what she needs. You're doing such a GOOD job. 🤗❤️👍

Looking at lots of vlogs of toddlers Sage's age it seems Sage is mostly unhappy, crying and being bratty the majority of the time. Her Thank yous are GREAT. . She is

[@Lish_Lemon]

Totally feel the toddler tantrums. We have a three year old or as I like to call it a threenager and a 3 month old, so we definitely been weathering some big emotions but I definitely found keeping her busy and getting her back to routine the best remedy…The first eight weeks after bub was born was something else 😅 Thanks for always being so real with everything, during those tough times, it’s been nice to see I’m not alone.

I do get this but I have this person in my life who repeatedly tells me that when your kids are small, it's more about them....like look after urself but it's more about the kiddo....so this has me feel guilty for even wanting me time

[@HealthNutNutrition]

I believe there is a balance of both. Yes of course make sure they are fed, clean and loved but you are also important and have needs and if they aren’t addressed how can you be the best parent and example for your kids. I know it’s hard though and some days I def am forgotten and that’s okay but I don’t make it a habit because I know it will catch up
