Good morning guys, happy Sunday.

Welcome back to yet another video today.

We are going to do a very chill cozy Just gentle Sunday reset.

I have a lot of stuff that I would like to do

But I'm not putting any like crazy explanations on myself Like I'm just gonna go with the flow

and just move with whatever energy I have in the moment And I'm just gonna like keep moving.

You know what I mean?

Like there is no rush I'm not like trying to like

do this big grand Sunday reset It's just going to be

like set the vibes get some stuff in order for the new week.

So Um, it is already one o'clock.

So when I say chill, I really do mean chill Like we had a very calm morning, but i'm getting up now I just like brush my teeth

and wash my face and everything and i'm just gonna stay in my pjs

and we're just gonna Prepare for next week just filled up

my little medicine container with all of my like vitamins

and my medicine and stuff

That way that's good for the week I want to work on laundry all day long

because my laundry has piled up I have clearly not been

doing a good job at doing my one little day

But I want to like reset for the new week

and try and get like back on track I also want to take time to sit down

and fill out my planner for the week I really love this planner from the daily.

This is what I use I need to get a new one

because I literally have one month left Like the last month in this planner is july

So i'm basically done with this planner

and I need a new one I like it because at the beginning of a new week, you can do like a whole weekly overview

So you can like plan out your meals make your grocery list There's like a week at a glance right here.

You can track your habits your workouts and then write like your weekly to-do list.

So I always like to sit down every Sunday and just like fill out these pages.

That way I can just kind of get an idea of what's going on in the upcoming week.

So I want to do that.

Why do you have an ice pack?

It's like this, honey.

I know, that's an ice pack for when you get boo-boos, honey.

And then this evening, I want to do just like a self-care reset.

Like an everything shower.

I want to whiten my teeth.

I really need to color my regrowth, but that means I would have to go to the store to get color for that.

So we'll see if that happens, but it's really been bothering me.

So I really want to hit that also.

She's already washed from my bed.

I just haven't put them back on yet, but Jacob's sleeping because he worked midnight last night

So he's in there sleeping I have been getting

so many questions about like living arrangements and stuff like that

And like just like what we're doing right now with the separation

and I will like answer these questions eventually I'm just not gonna do it today.

I just want to focus on like resetting

and like getting my life together And then I think for the next video we'll do a Q&A

That's an ice pack So for my next YouTube video, I think I'm gonna try and do like a Q&A

but I've already gotten comments on some of my videos of people being like, please don't let this be like your whole new identity

and what your entire page is about to be about is like single mom thing.

I've only posted like a few videos about it, but let me just say my content is literally just my

life Like I'm just sharing my life you guys every single

day what's going on like that's what my content is

And like right now this is just like what I'm dealing with

and what I'm going through So like obviously I'm sharing it, but there's still gonna be other stuff like I mean there's more to me than

that And then I'm gonna poop in my pants And yeah, and Bubba's gonna poop in his pants So anyways

We are going to And then I'm gonna poop in my pants Start on our

And then mommy got poop in the pants.

Okay.

So we're going to start on our reset.

I think I'm going to start off.

I'm going to start off with going to the laundry room and just assessing the situation in there, getting a little laundry started.

And then we'll probably knock out dishes because my sink is full of dishes

and that's stressing me out and I need that to just disappear.

And then we can go on.

Are you going to help me clean, Bubba?

Yeah.

You are?

Come on, let's go start some laundry. so eyes so so

okay it's almost two o'clock now i just started up some mac

and cheese for the boys for lunch

because i need to feed them really quickly so

that they can take their nap

so i'm going to just hit their bedroom really fast

and just do like a really quick reset

so it's clean for nap time

and then this room is like checked off last night we actually took down both cribs in here

and i bought a queen size mattress just to like stick on the floor

because if you follow me on instagram you know

that the boys do this thing where they thoroughly enjoy like ripping their bedroom apart whenever they're taking a nap, like they'll take all the crib mattresses off their cribs.

They'll literally like flip their crib over on the side and like climb all over it.

And it was just like starting to stress me out.

So I was like okay i'm done my solution to

that was take the cribs out take the crib mattresses out i just got one big queen-sized mattress

100

and it's sitting on the floor now

101

because they really like sleeping together a lot of the time they will like take their mattresses off their cribs

102

and put them next to each other

103

so they can sleep next to each other

104

so i just got one big mattress

105

and that's that's my solution we literally just have a big

106

mattress on the floor in here now i just set it up last night put the sheets on it

107

and they slept on it for the first time last night

108

and they slept great i'm eventually going to get like a floor bed frame

109

that way like at least is up off the floor a little bit

110

but i want it to be as close to the floor as possible

111

so it's easier for them to get in and out of

112

but this is working i will say now

113

that it's in here i'm wondering if i should just get a full size

114

because it kind of takes up a lot of space like

115

they really don't need this big of a mattress for just the two of them

116

so i may end up buying a full size one

117

and putting it in here

118

and then i'm gonna use this one for my room once i do like a full makeover

119

and make that room my room like in the future um

120

because i think i want a smaller bed in there anyways

121

because the king size takes up the entire space anyways this

122

is their room currently it's not bad they just like played in here this morning

123

so obviously they their form of playing is just throwing stuff everywhere

124

so i'm just gonna clean it up really fast clean the mirror wipe off their little dresser um

125

and vacuum i also have like the cutest pinterest board made

126

right now for the boys like big boy makeover i want

127

to do like monster truck slash hot wheels theme it's

128

so freaking cute i will put some pictures up on the screen of like the inspiration

129

that i'm going for i cannot wait to start on it i have to find them like a bed frame

130

and stuff like that first but yeah it's

131

so cute i can't wait to buy it this vibe like

132

these hot wheels jammies like this is the vibe i want

133

to do for their new bedroom yeah baby i'm making mac and cheese for you Rock and cheese and pizza rolls. so and

134

she's done i also moved the toy box

135

that was in here into the closet which i feel like helps a lot

136

and i like went through

137

and got rid of a bunch of stuff i should have filmed it

138

but i did it at like nine o'clock last night

139

so yeah we just have like this little thingy with their

140

hot wheels backpacks like this is gonna match their new room perfectly once i get to

141

that i'm gonna take down these frames once i get all new decorations

142

and add all new stuff i had to move their dresser over here just

143

because like the bed comes out so far it took up

144

so much space

145

because the dresser used to be right here against this wall you couldn't walk through it

146

so i moved it over here and honestly i like it more

147

because at least they have all this space in front of it to play their cute little lion

148

and giraffe are still up here i think this is adorable

149

this has been in the room since before they were born the only like set plan

150

that i know i want to do is on this wall

151

obviously i need to remove all this stuff i want to paint like a black arch

152

and then put a bunch of shelves on it

153

and i want to like display their hot wheels

154

and like their monster trucks and stuff like

155

that i'll put a picture on the screen of what i'm talking about it's

156

so freaking cute and i know for sure that's what i want to do on this wall the The rest, I still have no idea what I'm doing yet, but I know that's what I want to do here.

157

Also, just like a moment for how absolutely adorable these little embroidered hoops are.

158

I got these from a girl on Instagram, and I'm obsessed with them.

159

They have their slumberkins on them.

160

They're obsessed with their slumberkins.

161

So this is Honey Bear, and this is Yak, and now I can have these forever

162

and just like remember how obsessed they were with their little slumberkins.

163

Like they have to sleep with them every single night, and now I have like these to remember them by.

164

It's so cute.

165

Anyways.

166

okay i just got the boys in their bed for nap time i'm gonna keep working on the house

167

but my sister is actually on her way over to just like hang out for the day

168

so we'll see how much more actual resetting i can do

169

or if i'll just give up

170

and just hang out with her for the rest of the day I'm gonna try

171

and get more done but we'll see because who wants to clean

172

when their sister is over and my beautiful baby niece right?

173

The least I can do is to show the laundry right?

174

I need to get my laundry off.

175

look at how cute the boys are and their big massive bed

176

they have all of this space and they're both way over here on the edge i die they're so cute

177

i'm trying to hurry up

178

and get the house as baby friendly as possible before they get here

179

because i don't want jovi to choke on anything

180

and with the boys there's just really no telling what's on

181

more i feel like i've got basically everything i just need to vacuum in here really fast

182

thank you

183

okay is the best I should be saying thank you to me or you should be saying thank you to KK.

184

Will you put this next to your brother's room?

185

Hi, princess.

Wat is de Shadowing-techniek?

Shadowing is een wetenschappelijk onderbouwde taalleermethode die oorspronkelijk is ontwikkeld voor professionele tolkentraining en gepopulariseerd door polyglot Dr. Alexander Arguelles. De methode is eenvoudig maar krachtig: je luistert naar native Engelse audio en herhaalt het onmiddellijk hardop — als een schaduw die de spreker volgt met slechts 1–2 seconden vertraging. In tegenstelling tot passief luisteren of grammaticadrills, dwingt shadowing je hersenen en mondspieren om echte spraakpatronen tegelijkertijd te verwerken en te reproduceren. Onderzoek toont aan dat het de uitspraaknauwkeurigheid, intonatie, ritme, verbonden spraak, luisterbegrip en spreekvaardigheid aanzienlijk verbetert — waardoor het een van de meest effectieve methoden is voor IELTS Speaking-voorbereiding en echte Engelse communicatie.
