You are most certainly NOT a bad UA-camr! You are warm and honest and funny and most of all REAL. That constitutes a great UA-camr in my book! 🎉😊❤
I appreciate it
I absolutely agree!!
I make a to do list for every day in my planner and when I feel like I didn’t get anything done I can see what I’ve crossed off my list.
This is great
Me too, but I call it 'Things I will never get done' so I feel good anytime I cross out one thing but don’t feel bad when I end not crossing out everything on the list.
I do that and sometimes I write stuff to my list that I already accomplished and check it off. Lol.
A brain dump! Which I learned from you
I started working full-time 5 weeks ago to cover a co-worker’s maternity leave. I have found that just picking out my outfit and putting meat in refrigerator the night before helps me not feel stressed. So you are so right little things really do matter. Thanks
I am easily overwhelmed when I am tired. Obviously we can’t just go take a nap whenever we feel like it but on those days- I just realize that if it’s not going to shatter- like you said- like if I don’t unload dishwasher or wipe down counters immensely- we will still live to see another day. I also overthink basically everything and recently I’ve adopted the attitude of - it will be what it will be. For example I was stressed about what to wear to a work dinner. I obsessed about it and decided on the go to black pants and sweater. No one seemed to even notice what I wore and there I was - worrying away for nothing. Just be kind to yourself!!!!! Love your content Lydia!!
"What can i do today to help future me?" I love that and i need to paste it everywhere.
It's been very helpful for my overwhelmed brain.
I do the dishes! A clean kitchen makes the rest of the house feel a little more manageable. Dana K White from A Slob Comes Clean always stresses “do the dishes!” She’s right.
Thank you for saying that you can make applesauce in the corockpot!
You bet!
I have felt overwhelmed since the beginning of the year. We’ve been hit with illness after illness. Still trying to get back in the groove felt really good till this morning when I couldn’t find the eggs I bought yesterday only to remember they were still in the car 🤦🏼♀️ I cannot wait till my moms chickens start laying more and I get farm fresh free eggs.
I hope things get better soon.
Sorry the kiddos were feeling unwell and prayers everyone has recovered. I love roasted vegetables--so superior to steamed! Thanks for always encouraging us to do whatever it is we CAN that day/week/year.
Oh goodness my girl 😢you’re amazing and wow I am so sorry the kiddos have been sick!!!
Thank you so much!!
I didn’t want the video to end 😢. Thanks for sharing.
Glad you enjoyed it!
I think that is huge. I have been trying to remind myself of the same. That you don't get to see or feel someone else's perspective. So grace and reminding yourself that you want you perspective to be respected too, will get you so far.
Yes..grace. I'm at a different season in life right now, but when I was working on my master's, homeschooling one, and had another in high school, it was rough. I had to do food prep, scheduled cleaning, and everything else. I gave myself reading and nap breaks (10 minutes of just sitting or closing my eyes) when I could swing it. Reading breaks were sometimes 5 or 10 minutes, but it kept me more relaxed. (I also made sure to get with God early in the morning because He kept me centered all day)
That dessert you made with oats, bananas and strawberries looks so fast and easy. I have all of those things i'm trying to use up so i'm going to give it a try. Thanks as always Lydia 😻
Feeling very chaotic and overwhelmed lately so very grateful for this video!
I live by lists so first of all i do a massive braindump of whatever is rattling around my head then i prioritize only the stuff thats essential/important/urgent - everything else stays on the list for later but i dont need to worry about it now.
I love your meal prep plans. I find baking quite comforting when im stressed so i tend to batchcook tea bread or muffins or something so im set for breakfasts/snacks for a while and then maybe something like a soup or a casserole i can eat/freeze for easy meals too.
Hope you meet your deadline and the kiddos are all back to full health soon xx
"What can I do to help the future me?" This is a real game changer thought process. Thank you.
Thank you I enjoy your videos, God Bless you and your sweet family... I tell my daughter prayer and problem solving.. You have good ideas.. thank you. :)
Good morning and Happy Friday. Wishing you the Happiest Easter for you and your family.❤
Same to you!
You made my morning ❤
You are so kind
Happy Easter to you and your family 😊
Same to you!
Could you record a weekly or monthly shopping haul for us? Would love to see how you budget for meals!
Great idea!!
Our brains must be twins. This is literally how mine works with handling overwhelm! Loved this video so much! ❤
Yes! Thank you!
Thanks so much!
Thank you for this! What are some of your favorite podcasts?
Me too❤
For leave your brain at the door podcasts: Popcast with Knox and Jamie, Even the Rich, Even the Royals but be warned they use lots and lots of really foul language
@@TheRealLydiaSenn Thank you!
Loved this video. Mama Lydia, please tell me what temperature constitutes “high heat”? I should probably know this at my age, but here I am. 🙈😜

Can you share your little bites homemade recipe ?? My kids are obsessed and I would rather make them myself :)
* 1 cup all purpose flower 1 tablespoon sugar
* 1 tsp bakingg powder
* 1/8 teaspoon salt
* 3/4 cup milk
* 2 eggs (lightly beaten)
* 2 tablespoons unsalted butter (melted and cooled) 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
* Add in anything you want
Bake 350 for 20 minutes
So sorry everyone was sick. I hope you all are better now. I do the same things with overwhelm. I totally slow down , make a list and triage the day. That oat recipe, is there a sub for peanut butter ? Big time nut allergies in my household but that looks soo good. You are slowly converting me to a meal planner lol. I still struggle with it because it feels so time consuming but you also make it look easy.
Sun butter or biscoff
Oh that’s good. I’ll check that out
Coconut oil may work
I've gotten much better in the last few months about taking the to batch cook/prep healthier food for myself. It's so much more work for that 2-3 hours than I would like, but it makes the week much easier
You are amazing, I hope you guys feel better by now. You gave me so much inspiration ❤❤❤ love from Germany 🇩🇪
Thank you 🥰
Thank you, I/we need this. We are in the process of emptying my father-in-law's home. He is on Hospice and we want to move him to our home. Overwhelming is an understatement! IT makes me want to declutter our home ASAP! We will be needing a bigger home, too. Fun. However, we know what we are doing is the right thing. Your tips n tricks are great. I'm going to use these tips. We are in 2 different states on top of all this.
I might need that weekly pad. I have a daily one but sometimes I need to move stuff constantly.
Love your channel
Made potato soup with all the leftover mashed potatoes from Easter. Was a hit and didn’t waste.
Ive always got a to do list. When mine gets overwhelming, I ask my husband to take some things off of my plate a.k.a. list. I tend to forget that he will always help me, all I have to do is ask.
I love the cutting board! Do you have a link to purchase so that I can support you?
In the description! Thank you for asking.
You are Wonderful .💗
Wow, thank you
Omg because of your last video for mint we switched !!!! Saving me OVER A THOUSAND dollars a year !!!! I was like well if Lydia uses mint so can I !!
That’s amazing!!
I have had Mint mobile for over a year. Every once in awhile I have to call in Bc my service/ internet connection not working while I’m away from home. Called Mint had to take out my card reset me to a different network/ tower. No buggy worked happened a couple times. This last 2 weeks…well I have had nothing but issues. I Doirdash/ instacart on the nights & weekends for extra $. Well when you can’t open your mint app and you have customers icecream in your car and do not know where your customer lives….it is a problem. I had to call Mint 4 times last Saturday alone and my calls keep dropping. They told me I can leave them and keep my $ that I brought to them. But I will not get my $ back!! I am paid until August. So right now I am less than satisfied with Mint mobile
I said it with you! ❤
Lydia, where did you find that weekly planner you were using at the beginning of your video?
I got it off amazon. I just put the link in the description.
The thing with Mint Mobile is that you have to purchase your phone from them. Not all of them are transferable.
True
Never thought to use my crock pot for applesauce.. usually use the stove will try those next time since i burned the last batch, which still takes good, kinda burn apples are sill good in ice cream or yogurt, But not what i was hoping for.
When life gets over the top for I go in my room and just rest watch u tube or nap.That being said my daughter is grown your children still need mama so maybe just put on cartoons and lay on the couch so kids are ok and so can you ..😊
I just do the ONE NEXT THING that needs doing. Normally it's dishes, and that gives me time to think.
I love this
I've never made chicken fajitas. I'm gonna make a freezer bag today but then do I stirfry it when I take it out to make or crockpot or what?
Sheet pan at 350 for 25-30 minutes.
Thanks! Get it all prepared and in the freezer today. Looking forward to cooking it, I love sheet pan meals.
I cry and journal when I'm overwhelmed.
I mean that’s not a terrible strategy. Get it all out!
❤❤❤
What pan do you use to make your little bites? Great pre-made meals😊
A mini muffin pan
Is there a recipe for the little bites?
*edit to say: disregard, I saw the comment below with the receipe....I can't wait to make and try them.
I make banana bread with pancake mix
