Thanks for being transparent and showing us a real everyday morning routine. Sometimes, morning routines on UA-cam are so highly curated and so unrealistic that instead of being a motivator for people, they end up being a downer b/c it looks so unattainable. So thanks for sharing this and I’ll be sharing it with my friends who are moms; I think they’ll feel seen.
Thank you so much!
I totally agree! So real and Lovely
For all of the mothers out there…THANK YOU. As a child-less woman…none of this seems appealing to me. How did my mother do it everyday!?!? Just thank you. All of you are super women.
I wonder too!!!sounds exhausting
yes you get super tired and exhausted but it is SO REWARDING at the same time. I have two at this point and kids the best thing that ever happened to me.
It sucks. Thats why I am one and done.
@@jyot17 what a sad thing to say. Not saying you should have more, just the fact that you think parenting sucks sounds saddening.
@@rjules1083 Don't be saddened, my life is not sad. Just very very difficult and emotionally exhausting to raise a child in because of family circumstances.
Omg.. I loved this. It's nice to see a video that looks like a normal family instead of a crafted video.
I absolutely loved this documentary style day in the life. So realistic and more interacting as well. Keep up the great content :o)
Such a great video with no filter to glamorize what can be mundane, routine, stressful, etc. It's life and you've managed it way better than me considering you've got little ones (and one big one) whom demand so much of your attention and time. You're doing great and just keep chugging along!
Thank you so much!
You and Nate are doing a wonderful job with your children! Our three are grown. We had days just like that. It passes so quickly.
Thanks so much!! We really enjoy them at this stage too!
Morning routines are tricky, you are far more chill than me. I can stress out if things don’t go smoothly and then get in a sour mood. You both are such good parents!
Cici is so lucky to have such a great mother who makes such healthy lunch for her. You are an awesome mother.
As a working mom of 2 small kids I can totally relate that everything is about them. I'm "lucky" in that I get a "break" when I go to work but the weekends are tough. I enjoy your honesty and authenticity in admitting it's hard. Love your videos and look forward to more of them!
I truly loved this. This documentary style vlog is absolutely engaging for viewers like me, Mom, WFH f/t, balancing life..everything!! Also, I’m not a morning person either and prefer naturally waking up between 8/830 like U!😘😭🤪🥰😝
Thank you for sharing this video. Your day sounds like most moms. We do our best. You’re kids are beautiful Your family is beautiful. You and Nate must have a really good relationship because it shows. ❤️
Thank you!! It's a tough job but so rewarding and I love it. Helps that Nate defintely puts in the work to keep things running around here too.
Kids emotions are so big at that age and each meltdown is so real for them. It can be intense. I appreciated the realness.
Thanks for sharing. Motherhood can be so challenging but rewarding. Your kids are lucky to have you!
Love this new "short film" format! I've always loved how concise you are on instagram and youtube but this was really cool too!!
I loved the way you filmed this! Felt like watching a tv show but at the same time it was so relatable ❤️ thank you for sharing this
Really enjoyed this so real - thank you for the content we have to appreciate how much work goes into it wow ❤️❤️
Love this format!!
I love this so much! Thank you for showing an authentic morning routine! I've got a 1 year old and working from home. Good to see a sense of what it would look like with 2 little ones one day.
We appreciate the REAL content. Thank you for sharing! Hope you guys do more videos like this!
I loved the real-ness of this!
This was cool..nice mini movie. I can dig it. I loved seeing the beach views. I wish I lived in CA. I looove the beach 🌴. I loved your avocado toast idea. Im gonna try that. Thanks for sharing. God bless you guys, and take care. 🕊
Awww you’ve taught me so much in how to cook. I love your kids, they’re so adorable and you are such a genuine person! ☺️
Now this is real life . Thank you I appreciate videos like this.
When I had my second kid, my best friend told me from his experience that two kids is three times as much work. He was totally right!
I really love this style of video!
This is so wonderful. You're videos are so perfect. It's so nice to see this normal house. 😍😍😍😍
Love ur honesty❤️
I completely agree...Getting ready (no matter what is going on) sets me up for a more successful day (along with my to do list!)
It's amazing how much it changes our mindset!
You are doing amazing mama! ❤️❤️
I love watching this ! … so realistic 👍❤️
I love the raw unfiltered aspect of this video …
I love love love this video! My kids are older now, I understand it is exhausting right now but kids grow up and you will miss this age. You guys are awesome parents.
Your babies are precious ❤️❤️
You are amazing mom keep up the good work i love your videos the food looks so delicious thank you for sharing
Thanks for keeping it real!
Thank you for showcasing what it’s like to be a mama with multiple lil ones!! I have a 6 mo old and find it comforting to see other moms being transparent about what it can look like, constantly pivoting and maneuvering the little ones around
Pivoting and Maneuvering is the perfect description! We just neve rknow what the day will be like.. It's exhasting but also so rewarding. Hang in there!! xo
U ARE AMAZING THIS IS MAKING FEEL SO HUMAN SO NORMAL
Seriously, you have a lovely sweet personality!
Dear Dzung, I cant relate in the kid part cause I dont have any kids (by choice) but I do drive 26 miles to work so I have to give myself a little bit of time to get ready and be out the door by 6 am. Traffic in my area is not that bad, and if u dont take the freeway in urs either (I love Newport Beach!! I was just there yesterday😂). But I applaud moms like you who even amidst the chaos, manage to hold the fort. You rock😜.
I loved this video ♥️ I am sure your kids will cherish those mornings forever, when their mommy was making such an abundant variety of breakfast for them.
You are doing an amazing job! ☀️
Thank you so much!
Your kids are so cute and this is so realistic ☺️
Yesss!! I love this type of content from you :)
I'm so happy to hear! thanks for watching :)
omgg i cant imagine having to do all of this!! wow!!
I hope you know what an amazing mama you are to your children! I've raised my three children and they are grown now and really awesome people. One of the best things I did was to always try to empathize with them and attune to their feelings. Some people don't understand that little children aren't simply miniature adults- they are children. You really get it and treat your children with such love and respect. You have that mix of gentleness and kindness that truly bless children. I watch my adult children treat their spouses, girlfriend, each other and me and their dad with such sensitivity and kindness and am glad I went with my heart and tried hard to understand and attune to theirs. Trust me it is worth it. You know your children best and they sure are blessed to have a loving mom like you. They are so precious! Enjoy these hard but beautiful days of your life!
Thank you so much! I remember being a kid and anytime I had a tantrum or anxiety, it was met with sternness. My parents were raised differently in vietnam and never had the luxury to be this way so they never talked about feelings or had that type of patience with me. Something I so wish I had since I’m pretty sensitive too! So I try my best to be gentle but stern when she crosses the line. It’s a fine line to walk on but a hug and hearing them out and listening to their feelings really goes a long way. Sometimes they just need to be heard. Thanks for this 💗
Thank you! I’m not the only one. Mom of two 6 and 3 yr old here. Also dealing with the 6 year old don’t want to go to school.
I have 3 kids; 12, 9, and 8. We homeschool though, so no mad rush to get out the door, except once a week when we go to the 6:30am daily Mass. We’re early risers, so at least my 9 yr old is usually up before me. My alarm goes off at 5:45am and after I get myself ready, I feed our cats, check on our chickens, and begin prepping the kids’ “snack” which is really like second breakfast. They’ll get themselves toast or something easy and I’ll usually bake or make oatmeal, eggs, or sausage depending on what we have. We’re usually ready to eat and begin school by 7:30-7:45.
My mother told our chiropractor when she was potty training her first child that the way I learned was from older kids. No idea if that’s helpful or not for you and your husband. By the by, I tried your roasted red pepper pasta recipe with shrimp and additional frozen veggies and it was a big hit for my mom’s birthday dinner!
❤ it's almost like you. Thank you to share your morning.
I liked this type of video alot.
I love this video
Loved this video, it's nice to know we all go thru the same motions! Also, love your beddings! Where did you get it from?
4:26 that “Noooo” in the background made me laugh. sounds like she didn’t want to go to music class. lol
I am not a morning person either, never have been. I don’t use an alarm clock either, only if I have a morning shift. I normally awake around 8:30 (unless the mowers start mowing or the dogs wake me early.) I need a bit of quiet in the a.m. so I just sit with the UA-cam and get caught up - with a cup of water and then a good strong cup of coffee (either nespresso intense, chocolate fudge, or Starbucks Caffe Verona pod). I also sit on the deck for a little while, if there are no neighbors around. Great way to start the day. No child, no dogs, no hubby, just quiet.
My son was 5 when he finally potty trained! Yes, 5. She refused for years. She would fight every time. Once he saw that others did it, his friends, he was convinced. I tried from 2-5 and it finally stuck. It takes a lot of patience.
My morning routine quite similar to your. I love your video.
LOVING 🥰 this! Thank you for sharing 💗 Parenting is hard, just try your best. Always remember who is the boss, you and your husband, not your kids 💕 I have a boy, 12 years old and a girl, going to be 11 on October 2022. When they were younger, my son was harder to take care of. Now, my daughter is harder to deal with (her attitudes)! It is an interesting journey 😂 ❤️
Ahh yes, my sister tells me the same!! Tweens are another challenge altogether. Wishing you the best too! xo
thank you! i begin my day just like you! mama-team!
You're like a neighbor. I live in Murrieta. Have been watching your channel for a short while maybe 2 months. One thing that helped me with potty training is my sister buying maybe 3 weeks worth of little party favors from party city. Let him pick from the bag with eyes closed after having a susscessful potty trip.
Hello neighbor! That's such a good idea haha he would so love that. Lol!
You are amazing & beautiful 💕💕
no filter good
Why can I relate. When I have no kid or anything similar to you
Mornings are hard with or without kids! I was never a morning person and so slow to get going... even as a kid. Lol!
Do a day in my life
Regarding SPF - you can use just the zinc suncreen, however, all sunscreens are tested using 2mg of product per 1cm2 of skin. So you need around 1/4 to 1/2 of teaspoon of sunscreen for just the face. And using untinted zinc SPF would make you pale af :) Another way of measuring SPF is two finger lenghts of product for the face and neck.
As I love this style
I have an 11yr old getting ready for middle school. Mornings are busy as you know. It never really gets better the kids just get older. Lol. Yes we have a schedule but life doesn’t always go as planned. I drop my daughter off then head to school. The worst part is she’s slow some yelling hurry up and trying to get out the door. I pack my patience. There is no one size fits all in parenting. Your little girl is going through an adjustment and change. I feel as parents we feel guilty but you have to find what works for you. We all have an opinion /advice but some things have changed and do what works for your family.
Thanks for this!!!! Definitely no one size fits all!
I am your big fan
You are so real Honeysuckle! I just can’t believe that you let us see the real you in the morning 😆… Love you though ! ❤️
Thank you for showing us what a realistic morning with kids looks like! I miss your wild honeysuckle vlogs!
Thank you! We're figuring out how to separate the two channels. lol!
I took all my five to pre-school(Tiny Tots program at the park for a fee) until the age 5. It was just a couple of hours a few days out of the week. Ck your local area. I always picked the early session.Then the were ready for Kindergarten. Some Catholic schools have classes from 3-5 years and you do pay for tuition and uniforms. It also prepares them also with social skills. Also enrolled them in gymnastics for a bit. Ck into it. If you try a different city you may have to pay a little extra. My youngest is now 38 years old.…M❤️M of 5
Do a Wardrobe tour
I wish this video has been longer but considering what we got to see I completely understand why that was NOT possible. ☺️
Thanks so mcuh for watching! And thankfully I was able to adjust the slip and the dress eventually stretched out throughout the day. Whew! Lol!
@@honeysuckle ❤️
1:30 if you should ever decide to organize your shoes in a different manner… i have some shoes in their boxes still because i can recognize the boxes and know where they are since i normally put them back in the same place. i also have many shoes in clear plastic containers with lids. it makes it easier to see which shoes are in which containers. it might help you since so many of your shoe boxes are the same color.
Hahah thank you! I’m kind of crazy / neurotic and know the shoe based on style name 😅😅
What sunscreen do you use that you would recommend?
Hahaha! my son also says NO the same way 🤣 for potty training haha. i relate
What’s the sunscreen you use called?
this looks super nice. wish every routine video was like this without an insane amount of dizzying cuts. for the butter bell, how long can you keep butter in there and does it have to be salted?
I’ve had it in there for 1.5 weeks now and I have to change the water every couple days. Mine is already salted but I think either one works
Lol can relate to all of this as a mom of two
Heck that blasted me back 26 years, ago when my daughter was 5 years old and now she is almost 31 and still we are doing drop off and pick up.
Last night she had a rare night out with girls and usually she would not drink so they have safe transport home however my husband had to collect car from garage so offered to stay at hers overnight so he took our dog as, my daughter and son in law love having a dog visit so daughter and friends dropped in town son in law, and husband had lovely evening 4am husband got call ready to stop partying need bed... My son in law needs to learn to drive as, we live hours drive on not great roads away... Lol husband was she may be nearly 31 but still has her after night out routine so hot water bottle wrapped round PJs before leaving to pick up, hit chocolate in keep warm cup in the doir dog cuddle, PJs,
Hot Chocolate paracetamol hot water bottle and bed.
This morning high protein breakfast and crunchy toast... Being a, parent never ends it just changes.
I was never a morning person but once I had daughter into a, waking up routine decided to set alarm hour before get up put clothes I had looked out night before on get cup of tea, and read for remaining time.. It was the me time that set up my day and kept me sane. It was hard initially fighting urge to stay in bed but worth it.
I would not bother unpacking if you are moving so soon having been there and done it enables you when you are settled to see what you really use or what you missed as was, still packed you will be amazed at how much you can then declutter.
Hey, don’t short my guy on those pineapples 😂
This is really helpful because we just found out my mom is pregnant and I'm almost 12 so I kinda need a little idea of what I'll be dealing with
Just enjoy the journey. I have a twelve year old so I'm imaginig how it will be. Also one off my daughter's friends had a brother at 12. It was really cool for them big sisters can be trusted to hold and do so much to bond and help. Think of all the opportunities to hold your brother or sister as bonding time. Even changing diapers can be bonding. Best to you big sister or brother.
Yes thanks I actually have a 15 year old sister so it definitely be an fun experience for both of us and tbh I'm really excited to be an older sister :)
@@fifochiken yes that's very exciting. Eventually you won't wanna imagine life without him or her. Children are a blessing🥰🥰🥰
@@fifochiken I'm excited for you too
@@2malsahm59 thanks :) I'm sure I will too
❤️❤️❤️
Goodmorning! You are Great parents unfortunately there are no manuals! You Love and care for your kids. Enjoy it flys by ! Youll wish they were still small. I had 2 boys and daddy should take him to the potty especially for number 1 they like to imitate dad . We also bought him a his own little potty and we would make ot fun to go potty Have an Amazing day! God Bless you and your family! ❤
7:59 for adorable puppy schlorps
"This is our last nappy box" 😂😂 I've said that! My boy was potty trained when my husband had covid. It was hot weather so my boy went pants less. We're stuck at home anyway. So after four or five days of being pants less he figured it out. We spent all day outside too.
He's be paintless potty trained, then just undies potty trained, then fully dressed trained.. Then he'll go backwards two or three times and forget. Train again.
Don't stress. He still wears nappies at night... We'll get there. He's potty is covered in stickers now.
Oh!! "do you need to go potty" ...no, no, best to say "we are going to go TRY to potty". And they just sit. If nothing happens it was just trying.
That my tip!!
And have the potty facing you in the toilet. Pee together
Just curious where's all the furniture from the past homes? Did all the homes come furnished or did you sell or get rid of all your stuff from before? You mentioned you got clothes and stuff out of storage, but I guess you had no furniture stored?
Hihi! We sold the few things we had when we moved down to LA like the dining table, tv stand, and dresser. almost all of the places we’ve been at in the past 5 yrs in furnished places! I only have outdoor furniture, cribs, and such. No real things like a dining table. Lol! Crazy… actually today is exactly 5 yrs since we moved!!
Ollie is still around. I wonder how old he is now?
I wouldn't bother unpacking all the boxes, time will fly bye 😉
I potty trained my boy at 19 months. We did the Oh Crap potty method! Highly recommend
Wow!! Thats awesome!
Ok, I had to smile. Yep, kids are master manipulators. Don’t feed the dragon, so to speak. Just let your kids know what is going to happen and let them know you love them!
For sure, thank you!
Actually i think you have three alarm clocks: two, two-legged ones and one furry, four-legged one!
I joke that my daughter must think she was born with two butlers. 😂
Hahha they have it so good! It’s okay, i remind us that it won’t be this way forever and we’ll miss it one day
Trained two boys by tossing some cheerios in the toilet and having them aim their pee at the cheerios. Seemed to work, guess I lucked out. Good luck!
I'm from india
Where are u from?
@Honeysuckle Get that slip professionally hemmed and keep that dress 🫰🏽🫰🏽
Maybe you can start the potty training by letting him run around the house one hour day with a bare bum so he can feel a little free to try to pee first, if he feels like it. Some little kids hide behind furniture when they need to poop, and gives a sence of controle feeling, and this is when you talk to them to make them realize the necessity of going. Dont pottytrain both peeing and pooping, just start with the peeing, this will give a feeling of succes.. You can help by calling it what it is instead of finding names, but if the controlething is because of shame just laugh and give it funny words and sit with him when he is on the pot.. Talk about is sometimes and sometimes maybe read a book. No ipad here, this is taking too much focus😉 Good luck..
Well, I am one of those ppl who can wake up on my own terms & set intentions, single no kids, I just work (from home), love myself & share love & light 😊..it's pretty cool 😎
I love it!! That time is so important so enjoy it!! xo
Dzung, I'm going to be blunt- you guys are in for some turbulent teen years if you don't stop letting the kids rule you. I suggest some family counseling or classes (our pediatrician referred us to a place years ago). Cici uses the tears to try to manipulate the situation. Kids will figure out how they can get what they want, its our job as parents to recognize that and enforce rules and let's them know you are in charge. When mine were little and they tried "pushing to see how far they could get" I would just firmly say something like, that's not going to work with me , so they knew I wasn't going to break. I have 3 young adult kids and 3 teens, so I very much recognize what Cici is doing. I realize this a tiny glimpse into your life, but I've noticed that it seems Cici thinks she is the boss for a while now😅. If you delete this or I get backlash, then so bet it, but I wanted to give a friendly word of warning, because I see the signs and I've lived it already. Take care 🙂
I 100% agree with this comment. It’s not normal for Cici to be crying about school like that. A child’s behaviour is a sign for a deeper connection. Any behaviour is seeking attention whether the behavior is positive or negative.
Lol always trying to get kids to a therapist and on drugs.. you know all of us humans are different and don't all need to act the same to be "normal"
Why are you triggered? The worst type of people are the ones telling another parent how to parent. No parent is perfect and everyone is just doing the best they can for that day. Let’s have more grace for parents.
Ow please, my friends daughter is 7 and she still cries sometimes when going to school. She loves school, but she has a wonderful mother and she loves being with her (strict) mother. Some kids just love being at home with their family. That doesn’t mean that they are manipulative. Boundaries are important, and I’m sure that she has boundaries and is being a wonderful mom.
I get what you’re trying to say but as you said this video literally shows you a tiny tiny part of life and maybe it’s just drop off at school that’s hard. Id also like to remind you that we just got out of a pandemic which most kids have become so accustomed to staying at home and I would agree with you if Dzung let cici stay home, but she didn’t. She set the boundary that even if she cries she still has to go to school.
Why are you always buying new furnitures? Use what was used at the last house. You need to not waste and think of ways to use the things you bought when you were in the last house. You need to get your house renovated. Light a fire under the permits’ people to get the renovation going. You are wasting a lot of money renting and you need to start building equity.
Hmm am I always buying new furniture tho? If I could use what we had a the last house, don’t you think I would? 🤨
Stuff like this is why I unsubscribe to ppls channels. It's like look at me look at me constantly. I subscribed thinking it was a cooking channel not a life channel. Not trying to be rude but I dont know why you care to show everyone that. ...
We’re all human with a story. I’m not just a recipe machine and tbh those types of videos were sucking the life out of me. On the surface, this video may be sharing my life a little but it’s also art in form of a short film, and that keeps us creative and inspired. I’ll still be making those recipe tutorials so you can feel free to stick around, or not. ☺️
I subscribe to a lot of channels, but doesn't mean I watch EVERYTHING they pump out. If once in a while, she does a non recipe video that you don't care for, then just ignore it until a video more to your liking shows up.
You don’t have to watch everything they post. Life is all about choices.
Isn't UA-cam in general about people looking at other people's work/life? Lol don't be on social media period if that bothers you, it's not going away or changing.
This is funny... people can get so serious about telling people what to do.
