Although this weekend wasn’t the most successful camping trip. I’m honestly truly grateful to have been able to get some time to take a breather, and finally get around to organizing Sage’s room 😉✨.
I don’t do camping so I understand sage 😆
Seems like a lot of coddling on your end.
Wow someone finally showing reality and not a highlight reel!!! It’s so helpful for parents to see the UPS and downs so we don’t feel bad when our kids have big feelings- it’s so normal!
I want more "failed" vlogs like these! As a parent it's so relatable to know you're not alone haha
As a mom of toddler I’m grateful for this video. And honestly I would cry after this situation :P like sometimes I cry after a walk full of screaming 🤷♀️ I send you a lot of hugs and thank you for sharing this. Greetings from Poland :)
Is it weird that I started tearing up when you were sitting talking about how emotionally and physically draining parenting can get? My boys get so fussy around lunch/nap time and by the time I serve their food, I have no appetite. It is so hard but I wouldn’t change it for the world.
Yes! 🙌🏻🙌🏻 a realistic camping trip of where sometimes things just don’t go as planned. Little humans can be so unpredictable, so good to see content where not everything is picture perfect. Good days and bad days should be normalised.
Could not agree more lady!
I am so excited for y'all I mean Sage was acting up and I know that well I'd be doing with that soon I haven't baby and she's 11 months old so I could probably tell what you guys are going for right now it's pretty hard but I love you all and I watch you everyday just never forget you are my family and yes I do every single recipe of yours when I watch your videos whatever you're cooking I make
One thing I’ve learned over the years is to keep your expectations low for any outings or trips with kids. Including teenagers!
Our last camping trip with teenagers included us packing up and heading home at 2am!
🤣
Thank you so much for sharing this 🙌 Just got back from a beach vacation with my 24 month old. I had totally romanticized the vacation and it turned out my toddler was PETRIFIED of the beach. She hated the sound of the ocean and would not TOUCH the sand! All week she sat in our laps on the beach chairs and avoided anything to do with the sand 🤣 we did get some good snuggles from her being afraid but MAN that was hard and not what I expected at all. Thank you for keeping it real and letting us other mommas know we’re not alone 🥰
We went to Maui for 2 weeks with our 2.5 year old and wow some moments were hard but we got through them and even took him on the road to Hana! We truly enjoyed ourselves. Another time we went camping and had to circle the campground like total weirdos for about an hour and a half at 11 pm in order to get our kiddo asleep. Tent camping is sooo much harder than if you have an RV - so worth buying a small trailer if you are a camping family! With our second we are now seasoned and it’s always chaos but we always love it. Our 5 year old now forever adores camping - fishing with dad, collecting snails, s’mores, looking for mushrooms & learning about plants! Don’t give up!
I just found your channel because I have a 5.5 month old and am starting to research starting solids. Honestly, seeing the reality of life with a baby is so refreshing. The meltdowns and your reaction just made me feel so seen. Thank you. Definitely so glad to have found you and subscribed!
Great parenting job. Sometimes the best thing you can do is call it quits and head home. Hope Sage is feeling better soon xx
Thank you definitely easier said than done, but yes she is feeling much more like herself today 😌
Thanks for sharing the real stuff! We have a son a few months younger than Sage and it’s so nice to see other toddlers losing it and how you guys deal with it.
Omg...i appreciate this video SO FREAKING much. My son was born 5 months after sage and I've been following you since your labour vlog. I like that you kept it so real. It helps me keep my sanity in place knowing I'm not the only one who goes through this.
Love and appreciate you sharing the honesty about parenting a toddler at times 💕 You’re great parents!
You’re my hero for posting this video! Thank you thank you! I’ve had a DAY and a half with my little toddler. Watched most of your video while she screamed “OUT MOMMY” from her cot while refusing her nap 🤪
Thanks for always keeping things real and relatable! Love following along on your journey! 💗💗💗💗💗
Exorcist toddler...🤣🤣 What a hilarious yet spot-on description! I know one of those phases!
I didn't think I could possibly be a greater fan of your vlogs and this vlog just proved me wrong. Thank you soooooo much for being so real and helping other mums like myself know that life happens. You're simply phenomenal.
I’m sorry it didn’t turn out as planned & thank you for sharing the reality of it! These moments are definitely not shared enough online!❤️
LOVED this! Cheers to moms keeping it real but staying hopeful and positive! We really need more of this from each other. Thank you 😊
Also this sounds like a tough stage for all 3 of you! I’m right behind you with my 1 year old. Hope she starts to feel better soon 💕
All the joys we are looking forward to when our little one arrives next year🥰
Congratulations!
💯 💯!!
Thank you and Mr. Matt for sharing this video!
For all the moms and dads out there ❤️ ❤️!!
It is SOOO nice to finally found a channel that shows what it’s really like !!!! My goodness I’m so glad I found your channel.
Love you Nicole! Love your energy and openness in this one. Keepin it 100. Inspired by all the baby proofing too-it looks great! Take care ❤️
Thanks for sharing the reality of dealing with toddlers! I appreciate that u were honest and not sugarcoating anything…your vlogs are more relatable in that way! I am a mom of 3…i have twin toddlers and an infant! So yes! I can totally relate and i love that about your video!
I really enjoyed this video. Thanks for keeping it real! So appreciated!
Can relate so much to this video!! My son is 20 months old and can be the happiest little guy but also can be the most miserable little guy! Right now, he’s teething so very fussy and clingy alllll the time! So refreshing to see a video that shows the downsides of parenting. Almost all UA-cam videos only the glamours sides of life and leaving parents like me feeling like I’m totally failing at life! Haha. So thank you so much for keeping it super real!! 🥰🥰🥰
Hope you guys can try again soon!
My 4 year old loves camping! We started when he was 3 years old. We are taking our 4 month old on her first trip in a couple weeks. Hoping she will get used to it so we can start taking family camp trips again!
I did not even watch the entire video yet, but thank you for your honesty also when things do not work out great. Just recently I travelled with my 1 year old and some parts of that traveling experience were also an epic fail. It is nice to see some other parents I can relate to. Fingers crossed that your next trip will be more successful and enjoyable!
Thank you for sharing! Parenting is hard and it makes moms feel less alone or like they are doing something wrong when they see other moms having struggles at times also.
Right before my daughter's first Christmas something awful happened. I had this perfect Christmas image in my head and it took me a long time to grieve the Christmas I envisioned. This really taught me to set no expectations. Baby girl was safe and still had a good Christmas regardless.
I try to just enjoy the small moments that are happy b/c life never goes as planned lol! You are a great momma and show lots if patience. ❤
I really did enjoy the real life events. My little one has been teething all week. Sleepless nights and out of blue cries. I love how relatable this vlog is especially this week
Good that you show the fails and keeping it real! Keep trying with the camping, next trip might be awesome! 💪
Our first family vacation was cut short by an ear infection and I felt SO GUILTY for feeling sad but you said it - you have these ideas of family moments you want to share and it doesn't go as planned and ends up a disaster you mourn the ideas of family fun lol never a dull moment with a toddler!
I think it is brilliant you still shared it!! Thank you
just wanted to say thank you for sharing this video with us! my baby boy is 14 months old, and I love watching your content to kind of know what to expect later on, even though each child is different… I love seeing all of the raw & real moments, even the crying/meltdowns. some days you just wonder what is wrong with my toddler and it’s so easy to get frustrated with them but at the end of the day, the might just be in pain and can’t properly express it and we simply can’t see it right away.. so it’s videos like these that make all of this feel relatable ❤️
I was just about to comment the same thing. My son is 15 months and I want to get ready for the real real tantrums.
I love you & Matt parenting . Al least yah tried to have a camping trip. Can't wait to see a complete video of Sage's room 😊
I can't wait to see you having a second baby, you are a great mum 🥰🥰
Thanks for sharing the raw and the real!!! Both my partner and I love camping and the outdoors, and we have a 3 month baby right now. We envision those memories of roasting marshmallows and what not like you said, but this video put it into better perspective that it may not always go how you envision. It’s dependent on their mood and feelings too!!
I can definitely relate to this. Same thing happened when I took my one year old this past weekend. Camping with a toddler is a lot of work 🙈
Good for you for giving it a go far braver than me Mama! I've got 3 Littles and we've only camped once my bigger two were toilet trained. You know what, you gotta give it a go hey so hats off to you Hubs and Bubs. They just grow up so quickly, like in a blink Sage will be in school. Enjoy every messy and unpredictable moment while you can ❤️
Thank you so much for your transparency !
Hi from South Africa! Love your videos!
Thank you! 🥰
I appreciate the realness and I hope Sage is doing much better. I hated seeing her so upset and as a parent myself, I know it was just as hard on you and Matt ❤️🩹.
im so glad you guys called it. i feel like some ppl push it even when their kids clearly just arent up to it
These real life videos are honestly so much better than curated content!
Absolutely love your channel. As a first time mum myself, I love your tips and that you are so honest! Absolute legend. Sending love from Tasmania, Australia. ❤️
Hello from Brisbane 👋. I love her channel too 😊
@@lisahe7714 ☺️
I appreciate you sharing this! I’m currently going through toddler tantrums/teething/sleep regression with my 18 month old and it’s so hard 😣
You had a go which is more than most I have to admire you for your optimism and courage 😂 I had 2 kids under 2 they just need routine when their little. I don’t need to be obsessive about it but your stress levels and sanity is the most important. It won’t be like this forever and you will look back and think where has my baby gone and miss it
So far I only saw the caption of this video and I'm like... "Girl... You are brave because I wouldn't even try to take my 1 year old camping." 😅😩 Can't wait to watch! Haha.
Feeling you on the toddlers and teething! It is so rough on them and ends up really being hard on us, especially when you feel like you can’t help them. Poor babies!
Thank you for sharing your honest experience! Makes the rest of us feel so much better. Haha
Camping with toddlers can be so hard but it's soooo good for them as they can just go feral for a short while haha! I have twin toddlers (boys) and it's hard when naps are involved too but we've just kept it to shorter trips away for now. It is hard when they're not feeling well though so it seemed like the best option was to come home for you! You're both doing a great job!!
I’m so glad you did this video. My 17 month old son is also teething and we missed our entire week of vacation because he just wasn’t himself. We tried going to a cute kids place called Tiny Town and let’s just say it was not fun either! I’m so glad I am not alone. I felt like the worst mom!
OMG, the way she's delicately holding things😃🥰 6:35
Feel ya, we thought let’s go on a camping trip with our 1 year old for 2 month. After 2 weeks ending up parking the camper at home and got back to Airbnb style 🤣 good idea. Greetings from Germany
Thank you for the real stuff lol its not easy! Love the baby proof love watching your videos your such a great mom🥰 sage is so cute💜
Thank you for sharing this - my girl also has big emotions that we have to deal with
Real Life ❤️ Been there with all three of my littles.
Oh man. Yeah it’s a tough age my son is 3 now and still has major meltdowns but when he was Sage’s age whew. It’s very very draining. Hang in there!!!!
I love how you keep everything real :) # I love your Videos :) you inspire me SOOO much
Ive been making an effort to be more real on here!
@@HealthNutNutrition oh my gosh:0 thank you so much for replying! I've loved you for so long. My favorite videos are like your day in the lifes, I love Sagey
Thanks for the baby proofing ideas. I gotta do this, mine just started to crawl and pull up on things and open drawers/ sliding mirror wardrobes. Eep! X Jenelle
10/10 vlog - loved the down to earthness of it hahaha my toddler is 16 months and those corner teeth just came through too and it was heaps worse than the moulers so i totally feel ya - cant even imagine attempting a camping trip while those things made their way up ehhh had a good laugh.
I’m just having one of those days and I’m sorry but this made me feel so much better 😂❤️
Love it 😍 one of your very best videos! Love watching your videos since you got pregnant ❤️ your were such a great teacher for me! And we also went camping and she was also teething.. went similar to your trip. Just that we were in a camper and too far away to get back. But that would have been also better for us. And yeah she went crazy too like never before 🤣
We went camping with a toddler (22 month old) recently as well. He was sick and it was an epic fail too. I commiserate with you!
Awe poor Sage! Good for you guys for trying!!
Oh I’m with ya…my 16 month old has canines coming in right now. By far the worst part of teething so far. I’m just counting down the days until the teeth are in and hoping we are at least through the worst of it before we leave for vacation in a few weeks.
We have had a variety of experiences with travel. Most are good, but there have been some that have been challenging. We try and just have forward vision after a tough moment and remember it’s not hard every time, thankfully.
Thank you for showing a bit of real life parenthood! We recently went on a staycation and little one started teething the night before. Would we do it again? Absolutely NOT till another couple of months 🤣💕
Thanks for sharing ❤️ my experience of big emotions was having to take my toddler to one of my appts because I didn’t have child care and my son had some BIG emotions in the waiting room.
I missed your videos !!!! Me and my husband thinking of having a road trip but I’m not sure if it’s a good idea hahha
By the way love the stairs gate. I need one but can’t seem to find the right one on Amazon. I live in Florida are they available here ?
I’m sorry it didn’t work out, but I’m glad to see someone posting real life things that happen, I feel like most things I see on the internet are just so fabricated it’s discouraging 😀❤️
Loved this vlog
I went to Florida with my toddler teething and was crazyyy I feel you there
Love Ur videos! 😍😍😍
Keep trying!! The first camping trip my daughter did was just her and my husband and she lost it the first night when she went to bed. Eventually fell asleep and slept all night. The next day had a 3 hour nap and slept all night with no tears!! Now all of our camping trips are smooth sailing. The first night is always a little rough but be consistent! She sleeps in a playpen in a dark trailer.
I've learned family event high expectations are never good to have. Especially with kids you just have to play it by ear. But I respect your positivity and bravery 😊
our first family trip went wrong this year … 5 hr drive ended up 9 hrs, no naps, and just teething…and toddlers in cars for like any length of time 😂☠️
Definitely with you for not being jaded for future trips 😂♥️♥️♥️ sending lots of positive vibes!
I clicked to watch this so quickly. We tried camping last weekend wit pur 14 month old, it was a disaster. I had imagined the toasting marshmallows and paddling in streams. It didn't go as planned, understand the camping ptsd 😅 x
Its a real thing! Im happy I wasn't the only one who went through it 🤣
Would like to see toys & books collection of sagee😍
I know the teeth thing. It's a game changer. And yes, I've found traveling with my toddler in the past he had to have separate sleeping arrangement that didn't immediately involve the floor. Travel beds, portable cribs, seem to work.
Sometimes you just have to let the kiddo have their fits at that age because they have no other way to express their emotions. What helped me a lot with my son was that I taught him basic signs for sad, mad, tired, etc. so he could tell me. Kids are able to pick that up really quickly and it empowers them to be able to talk to us that way.
Thank you for showing the truth of being a mom.
We flew from BC to Ontario to visit family with my then 11 month old. People tried to warn me never to fly with a baby and how awful it would be. I’m so glad we went though! Some tough moments but all the good memories and bonding with family was well worth it. Everyone gets cranky on the plane, even adults! Babies are just more vocal about it haha
I didn't realize our daughter's were four days apart mine was due the 4th!!
I just did my first trip with her a couple weeks ago she did so well, but the first night she didn't sleep till really late and she wouldn't eat well! I think she was just scared or not use to the new environment. She finally did and the next day she napped and ate a little more. 😀
We took our oldest camping when he was maybe 2ish and while everyone had a relaxing time I was stuck chasing a toddler and it’s not fun to be in the middle of nowhere with a child that won’t nap and it’s running around crazy. He’s wasn’t upset or cranky but I can totally relate that camping with a toddler is a lot if work.
Hi Nicole ❤️ missing ur videos on Fridays.....
Hey! So my baby is 7 months and already has 5 teeth and we are going through this! We haven’t really been able to do much with him because he is just so out of character because he seems to be getting another tooth. It’s so hard to watch when it’s your baby and also just so hard to help them settle down. Just want to remind you that you’re a great mom and Sage is so lucky to have you. Thanks for sharing real moments ❤️❤️
Thank you so much for the kindness and support! Teething is a really tough time to go through especially as a new mama but we will get through it!
😩 this answered why my toddler has been off all week and today she threw exactly that kinda fit I was 🤯 rough afternoon lol
This video comforts me so much as a single mom😗
Sage is just like my baby boy i love sage to see
I camped with both my kids since they were babies. It does get easier. Both Saje and my oldest share the same birthday, 💕
You probably already tried this but you could try "camping" in your backyard to get her use to the tent and sleeping outdoors and if it doesn't work, you're still at home.
We went on a family trip and thought it would be fun with just my husband, me and the kids. We didn’t rent cribs. Worst thing ever. Bedtime every night took hours. We were so drained we went to bed with them. It was awful! Couple months later we went on vacation with my whole family and all the kids. Best trip ever! We rented cribs for the little ones and honestly that’s the best thing to ever do!
Not sure if you give Sage teethers but that was a big help when my daughters were teething. Being a mom is hard you handled it so great! It is hard when we get so excited for them to experience stuff and they are not feeling it.
We just got back from our first camping trip with our 1 yr old! It went really well actually. He woke up once through the night but that isn't out of the ordinary and woke up at 5 every morning, also not out of the ordinary lol.
Quick edit: the most challenging part honestly was actually LEAVING the house and packing up the car 😆
Awww really felt sages emotions
Bless her
Remember my girls going through same stage with teething x
Hugs to all
I think u did amazing and I would say try camping again
Maybe try camping in the garden for the night? Cook etc
Get her used to the tent etc
I know your make it so much fun too
Sage would love a teepe tent ⛺️ in garden
Xxxx
"Hopefully all goes well-"
"It was not a good time" 🤣🤣
We took our baby to autocamp and stayed in a bus but she was like 6 months old so better. Now I couldn’t even imagine because my baby is same like teething, big feelings, tantrums, etc
Most important thing is that you are all healthy
