00:00Good morning, making your favorite sweet potato.

00:23Good morning guys.

00:24It was an early morning today.

00:26Tate wanted to wake up at like 5.50 this morning.

00:31So we had a little bit of an early start.

00:34So our schedule is looking a little different today.

00:37We've been experimenting with foods with him and stuff

00:39and we're figuring out like what he loves

00:41and what he doesn't like.

00:43Sweet potato, high on the list, loves it.

00:46Banana, low on the list, which is surprising to me.

00:50He doesn't, he just, he just doesn't like it.

00:53He's just not into it, which, okay.

00:56Don't know if he likes it.

00:58I know he just doesn't like it.

01:00But I might have him drink the whole thing though.

01:02So, Anyone in the comments,

01:05if you don't like sweet potato,

01:06let me know what you think.

01:08I want to see what you think.

01:10I'll see you next time.

01:11Bye.

01:12Bye.

01:15What are you doing?

01:16Oh, good morning, going for a walk.

01:20I see that you and Tate are going for a walk.

01:23Yum. Are you almost ready to go? Yeah? It's been so good that I jumped in the bath and

01:45changed my clothes, which is so amazing. Because today's kind of like our reset day. Today's

01:51Monday. So I want to blow through the house and clean. And I cleaned really well right

01:56when I got here, but now, you know, we've been here for a little bit. Wash the sheets.

02:00Just do like a reset. And also, first, we're going to take a trip into town. I have a little

02:09bit of trim that I need to pick up from Lowe's. That little trim that I got for the transom

02:14windows, but I'm like one piece short for the back side, for the closet side. So I'm

02:19going to get some more of that and probably quite a few more because now I can count

02:23how many transom windows I need to build, which are one, two, three, four more. Four

02:33more transom windows for the house. Get enough trim to do all of them. So I already have

02:38it and I'm going to run to the store and we're going to get him some few things. Didn't bring

02:42any of his like food utensils. So he's just been making a mess. Like I didn't bring a

02:48bib or a spoon. We only had one set in LA and I was like, oh, I'm not going to bring

02:52this one. I'll just get another one. And we just haven't. He's just been making a mess

02:56of his clothes and a mess of everything. And then it'll be a little later and I can drop

03:01him at my mom's for a few hours while I work. I have some computer work that I need to take

03:06care of. So we'll do that today. And then tomorrow diving back into the next phase of

03:11the bathroom, which is going to be like around the tub area. You ready to go on an adventure?

03:18You want to go on an adventure? Oh, you took off your sock again. Oh, you told her out.

03:27It's also a little mini project on our list today. I have to fix that drawer. I don't

03:31know if you guys noticed it when I was filming in here last vlog that I took it out. Something

03:35fell behind it. I took it out. And then when I was trying to put it back in, it kept slipping

03:40off the track. And for the life of me, I could not get it to stay. I think it's a little

03:45bit. The drawer is just that much too narrow to where it now it's just, it's just slipping.

03:52I don't know how I got it perfect the first time, but I need to build out the side a little

03:56bit. It's a super simple fix and I just need to do it. I got frustrated. It wouldn't stay

04:00and I just like push it back in there and it was crooked. And now I'm like, okay, I'll

04:03get to you later. Okay, we're on our way. I'm actually going to go scoop up my mom.

04:07I called her and she needs to drop some stuff off like in town. We try and make the most

04:13of every trip because it's not super close by, not down the street, you know, so might

04:19as well just like make a run together and do our errands. How would he get that?

04:28Promotes self-feeding.

04:33And we need you a little bib.

04:35Guys, made it back. It was misty, overcast, raining. Now it's sunny and the most intense

04:51winds. I just now a tree fell. I'll show you. It actually feels like it's going to pick up

04:59the house. Like it sounds so loud. And I went outside to the car to get the bags. I had to

05:04turn around. I couldn't even close the door. It was so strong. The weather is like all over the

05:12place here. Anyways, we made it back and I got, so I was just washing the baby some kind of new

05:16stuff. I just got it in the, one of those little silicone bibs. They only had green. I thought

05:22it was there. I was like, maybe I should have just ordered something online. You know, I could

05:26have, but they had green. I was like, well, it could be worse. My mom was like, could it? I was

05:31like, so I got him that. And then I got him the little bowl and also a cup. He's starting to drink

05:37water and stuff. So I got him a cup too. He loves balls like this. Teether balls, loves these things.

05:45So I was just washing these. My mom's going to watch him for the next couple of hours. I've

05:48already done some computer work since I've been back and I want to keep cleaning the house.

05:52Time has flown by. I can't believe we've been in Texas a month already. It feels like a day. I guess

06:00I've just been busy every day. I spent the first week I was here just cleaning the house, getting

06:05it perfect, you know, to move into because it had been so long and it definitely needed it. You know,

06:11now we just keep up with it. And you know, like the times in between when we aren't here, aren't

06:15going to be as long. I was literally pregnant and had the baby and the baby was seven months old.

06:23You know, that was always the plan was to stay put for the first six months and then re-evaluate,

06:28you know, kind of taking a new adventure in life step-by-step instead of making a whole bunch of

06:33decisions before I even know how to be a mom kind of thing. So I feel like it's gone by so fast that

06:38it's time to like kind of like do a refresh and a re-clean. So I'm going to put all the sheets into

06:43the wash. And this sheet set that we've had, this linen set is from Brooklinen and they just sent me

06:49some new things, some new colors that I've been really wanting to swap out the bedding here. So

06:54a big thank you to Brooklinen for sponsoring today's video because you guys know we love them.

06:58We have them on our bed here and in LA. I've tried all of their different collections, their luxe sateen,

07:04their linen, their classic. I love them all for different reasons. And when I added the rug in

07:09here and a little piece of art and the lamp, I just wanted to like cozy up this space to make

07:14it feel a little more like home, even though it's totally in various stages of renovation. I wanted

07:20to warm up the bedding set to hopefully inspire the space and the design coming together. I loved

07:25this color that they had. It was called driftwood and I want to mix it. I want to put the mood

07:30underneath, put driftwood and then on top, come back with a cream duvet cover and also a darker

07:37throw. Definitely pulling colors from the rug up onto the bed to, you know, like tie it in together

07:42and make it really warm in here. Brooklinen sheets actually have over 200,000 five-star reviews. So

07:48I'm definitely not the only one that loves them. And I love how effortless they make it to style

07:53your bed from the different colors that you can pick from and even patterns to mix and match,

07:57maybe your sheets and your duvet and your pillows, add a throw on top. They even have some new colors

08:03and prints to choose from. They have a stone color and lagoon, like some really pretty blues that I

08:09saw on there and a few stripe options. It's actually Brooklyn and sleep week sale. So if

08:13you click the Brooklyn and link in my description box, you'll get a special offer. And no matter if

08:17you're a returning customer like me, and you've loved it for years, or you're finding out about

08:21Brooklyn for the first time, there's definitely something for you. So definitely click the link

08:26and check them out. I have the Luxe Hardcore Bundle Set. So you get the fitted sheet, flat sheet, and

08:31duvet cover, and then four pillowcases. And then you can kind of mix and match some of the

08:36fabrication to give you a different look or match your decor. Love it. Highly, highly recommend.

08:42We love it. She loves it too.

08:53I got clothes in the wash and I want to... I'll have a straightener here. I never straighten my

08:59hair. It's probably why I didn't miss it. I never straighten... I always curl my hair. I never

09:02straighten it. If I'm going to do something, I curl it. Okay. I want to work on this drawer.

09:07You take everything out and take some measurements on like, figure out where it went. It all went

09:13wrong. Also the lack of organization right here. Like I feel like we piled things here and that's

09:20like, and there's like, look, shaving cream. Like I gotta clean all this. Romeo. I think the problem

09:26lies in the type of drawer slides that I got for this cabinet and for some of the other projects

09:32I've worked on. There's no forgiveness. The measurement has to be exact. And this one's fine.

09:41Like totally fine. Soft clothes. Totally fine. Something happened here. So I need to measure

09:4822 and five eighths. It's literally, it's an eighth of an inch. That's the problem. I need

09:55to add an eighth of an inch. And I've got some like scrap wood outside that I can, I can do.

10:00I just need to add it. See, I feel like I tried to like shove something in there and didn't work.

10:05Let's hope I don't get blown away. These gusts come, like it's calm. And then it's like

10:11a gust of wind. I have three limbs down already. Pretty big limbs. I already had one down that I

10:18tried to move to the back. Uh, and it was too heavy. I couldn't move it by myself. So I was

10:24like, okay, we'll, we'll do that later. Now I've got a few more. So I've got some eighth inch

10:29wood here that I slimmed down off of some boards that I was working on for the bathroom

10:35and I can add it just right there.

10:55Sometimes it's literally the smallest fix

10:58something that could annoy you for a long time, you know? Okay. Moment of truth.

11:14Okay. I did not change the height. Like I did not change the height. I put it right back. Oh,

11:19really? How did I make it higher on that side?

11:30It just doesn't do the soft close really well on this one. I think this thing is messed up.

11:36It works. I don't know. That's so weird that something was off with that drawer.

11:40Now I can organize it and clean all of this. Some of this stuff probably needs to be gone through.

11:47Travel shampoo is probably good. Does that stuff expire? I feel like everything could

11:52expire, but who does it? Oh, I have nail polish here. Notifications on is the code.

12:03Oh, body mist.

12:08It smells so good. It's from a store in town. Juniper, anise, and patchouli. I like juniper,

12:14but I wouldn't normally like the spices in the other two. But something about this

12:18blend smells really good. I wish I had actually made these drawers deeper, like our kitchen.

12:23You know, if it were a little bit deeper, I could put tall stuff like this. Like that

12:27was the best move, making them so deep. Oh, that fits. Does this fit? Oh, it does fit. Okay.

12:37Okay. So I cleaned a little bit and I'm back here in the bathroom because I wanted to put

12:47some tile on the wall, determine how I'm going to apply the tile to the back of the bathroom.

12:54And I wanted to start my intro and stuff for today just so that I can start working on the tile

12:59tomorrow. So here's the two options. The only thing I've settled on is that I want to do it

13:04in a brick pattern, but I don't know if I want to do the brick pattern horizontal, like that one,

13:12or vertical like that. So I put a poll on my Instagram stories and you guys are too divided.

13:18It's like too close to 50 50. It's like a personal preference. And I know that design is always a

13:24personal preference, but like, I kind of wanted it to be like a lens, like something I wasn't

13:29seeing. Like it was so obvious, like so obviously you need to do it horizontal. Like why would you

13:36think anything other than that? You know, like I wanted a landslide. It's not, it's not, um, it's

13:40been up for 24 minutes, 3,000 votes and it's 45 55. Look at that. 45 55. I don't know. I don't know.

13:56My mom's not answering because once you do it, it's on the wall. It's like done. It's like,

14:02Hey, did you get my picture? Look at it really quick. Yeah. I need to decide which direction

14:06I'm going to go with the tile. Show me the whole wall. Oh my God. It's a toss up. I know. How are

14:13you doing the tile in the shower? It's going up. It's picket. I know. I put it on my Instagram

14:20stories too for people to vote. And it's basically 50 50 50 50 with me too, because I'm thinking if

14:26I just look at that and I'm thinking ahead that if you do the mirror sideways and you do, and the

14:35floor really looks like it's going sideways, you really don't see the shower. You're not going to

14:39be able to see it. No. So I'm leaning more sideways, but it's a 50 50. Okay. Mom and I

14:46talked through like other elements in the space. What's happening with the windows? What's happening

14:52with potential wallpaper? What's happening with like the direction of the floors to the direction

14:57of the tile in the shower? You know, like all of the elements combined. And I think I feel

15:03more comfortable with my decision. I don't want to say what it is because if I change my mind,

15:09I don't want you to be like, that's not what you said. I'm like, I don't know. But I do have to

15:15decide this because I'm starting this in the morning. I just wanted to like, get started,

15:18start thinking about it. So I had time to make a decision. Let's see what the vote is for. Okay.

15:24It's up to like 6,000 votes. It's still for it's 45 55 with 55% horizontal. So that side, I'm going

15:34to do a few more things on the computer, load this footage. So I have it already and then

15:39uh, go get Cade. It's bath night. So we'll do our night routine and stuff.

15:53Is your pirate? Where's your pirate ship?

15:55Okay. Got the baby bag. I was just doing some computer work. I got in some wallpaper samples

16:12for the bathroom and they messed up and sent me the one that I was kind of looking forward to

16:19seeing. They didn't send it to me. They sent it to me in a different color way. And it was supposed

16:23to come in in this like sable Brown color and it came in in blue. I'm like, no. So I'm like a

16:31little bit disappointed in that. Cause I won't get to see it in person. I'll just like ask for

16:34credit or something. Um, but another one is definitely a contender. I'm trying to figure

16:39out my thoughts because wallpapers expensive quality wallpaper can be expensive. So I just

16:46want to make sure that I'm like doing it right. I'm like thinking through all of my options and

16:51like getting the look without overdoing it or overspending when I calculated how much I was

16:57going to need for all the places I wanted to put it in the bathroom. I was like, this, this is a

17:02lot. And so I started costing out like, okay, like if I did half as much wallpaper, what would be my

17:07solution for that? So it was like trying to work through my thoughts kind of thing. Our water

17:13softener is giving right now. Oh God, everything's fixed. Everything's like perfect. The water is

17:21amazing. So I just want to make sure that I'm, I'm like thinking through all of my options. Like

17:26maybe I want to do like, you know, uh, wall paneling or like a, you know, like Wayne's

17:31cutting on a portion of the wall and then do the wallpaper up top or do a combination of,

17:37of walls and so much to think through. And it's also a really tall, pretty large bathroom. So

17:43I think that that's why it's like so much wallpaper. If I was to do like floor to ceiling,

17:49I can't tell you this much. I do not want to play it safe. I've got all this tile already that I've

17:54already invested in. That's very warm grain neutral and versatile. It's it, it is safe. I feel

18:02like, although it has a lot of texture and I'm using a lot of different types of tile, pairing

18:06with that, like I want to push my own boundaries. One, I mean, wallpaper is doing that in general

18:11because I haven't ever used wallpaper in a room before. And because I wasn't really able to find

18:17any like killer inspiration for what I want in my head. It's kind of scary. It's a little

18:24bit daunting. You're like, am I trying to attempt to do something that hasn't really been done in

18:29the same way before, which is always something I really strive for, but is it going to work out?

18:34So it's a little bit scary when you're going to invest in something like wallpaper. Like,

18:38is it all going to pan out? And it's, it's when you're ordering, it says final sale.

18:43I've literally come in here and just stared at the walls and looked up and looked around

18:46and kind of like analyze and trying to like feel the space. Like it's somehow going to speak to me.

18:53And honestly, rooms speak. Rooms have a feeling. They like, you know, can invoke it. Like how

19:00I'm imagining how things could look and take standing in the space. And at least for me,

19:05like I have to like experience it and see all my samples together and stuff. So it will come

19:10together and I'm hoping it will be absolutely beautiful. And you guys don't forget about

19:16Brooklyn and they're having their sleep week sale. So definitely take advantage and click

19:20the link in my description box to see all of their new colors and their patterns and stuff and,

19:26and upgrade your bedding. So you can take advantage of a special offer. And I'm starting

19:30the next phase of the bathroom in the morning, working on the tub area and also kind of like

19:35perfecting the doors still, you know, like I'll, I'll work on those and make sure they're all going

19:39to fit well and stuff, but we'll go ahead and paint them and then install them after the tub

19:43area is going to be fun to do with like the tile and finally putting the tub. So it's not sitting

19:50in here. You know, it's, it's like ready to go. It's just, well, it's not ready to go. It actually

19:54needs the feet on it and stuff. So we have a lot in that area to do all the trim around the windows,

20:00whole area right there, everything about it. I'm excited. I like to do tile. I'll see you guys in

20:05the next vlog. Bye guys.
