my mother's day surprise arrived, huge unboxing & things did not go as planned| day in the life

Added: 2026-05-23

[00:00:00]I ordered a few things. They came in a couple days ago and I'm going to open them. It's from Away. I love this company. I got me and Nola some travel essentials. I really want to do a girls station or something like that for her birthday coming up where we go to a hotel and spend time together. Just me and her. Maybe not her birthday, but I do want to do something special like that. I got her a little travel backpack and I got me a new travel suitcase right here. Look how nice it comes with this little dust bag as well. I went with pink for my color. This last forever, too. So, I know I could probably give this to Nolo when she's a bit older.

[00:00:35]Look at how cute the kids travel bag is.

[00:00:38]I love this so much. It also is machine washable. And that was one of like my favorite things. So, this is it. It comes with like a little front pocket.

[00:00:46]Has the little clasp so you can clasp it onto them and it is fully adjustable.

[00:00:50]has a little inside pocket and it's like completely lined in like a waterproof lining so if anything spills or anything like that I know I can also just throw it in the washer and dryer. Comes with this and you can scan it so you can know everything about your suitcase and it also has a little luggage tag as well which I love when they include stuff like this. The suitcase also locks on top. So nice. Has a bunch of different pockets. Lining is nice. It comes with a scuff eraser. So it says scuffs happen.

[00:01:18]and dampen this eraser and squeeze out excess and gently rub away any scuff marks. I love that it comes with it.

[00:01:23]Especially when you're traveling, it's just inevitable. Traveling with kids can be such a hassle. I love whenever companies make specific designed products just for kids and just for making moms and dads lives easier, especially traveling with kids. Nola absolutely loves backpacks, so I know that she's going to love this so much.

[00:01:40]It's also really great for just quick trips over to grandma's. She puts it on and she feels like she's going on a little vacation. Packing for multiple people can be super difficult. So, I love having everyone to have their own little bag. And then we put most of the main stuff in our bag. Every Away suitcase goes through 30 plus tests from shell to wheels to zippers just to make sure everything is perfect. They even have a grab handle on the bottom so it makes grabbing it off any carousel or from the top airplane bin out of the trunk wherever even easier to access.

[00:02:09]And they maximize using every inch of states which is a must-have as a mom.

[00:02:14]They have a signature patented interior compression system and they have the double buckle compression pad as well.

[00:02:19]So, it's amazing. They even have diaper bags which I was eyeing. This backpack even has the trolley strap so it can sit on top of the backpack if your child isn't wearing it or anything like that.

[00:02:28]All their products have parents and families in mind which is so important for traveling. That is the last thing you want to worry about. So, make sure to check out Away. They are so amazing.

[00:02:37]I'm going to have me and Nolie have a little girls trip soon. She's going to love this backpack. Best of all, they gave me a discount code for you guys.

[00:02:43]So, you will get 10% off if you use the link down below or you can scan the QR code on the screen. Luggage can make or break a trip, I feel like. And a way really keeps parents and children in mind. I'm going to leave the link down below. Make sure to check them out.

[00:03:02]Good morning. Good morning.

[00:03:05]Shoes.

[00:03:06]See your shoes. We match.

[00:03:10]Put our slippers on.

[00:03:14]>> Turn the light on, Mom.

[00:03:16]>> No. Turn it off.

[00:03:17]>> Oh, and it's tired.

[00:03:19]>> It's too bright.

[00:03:20]>> Too bright.

[00:03:21]>> I love you.

[00:03:22]>> I love you.

[00:03:24]>> Did you say good night?

[00:03:28]>> Good night, Mom.

[00:03:29]>> Where are you going?

[00:03:30]>> To my bed. No.

[00:03:35]>> What are you doing, Nolly? You going to wake up Hansen? Good morning, beautiful.

[00:03:42]>> Mom.

[00:03:42]>> Yeah.

[00:03:44]>> Yeah.

[00:03:45]>> Why?

[00:03:46]>> It's dirty.

[00:03:47]>> Wash.

[00:03:48]>> Yep. Don't wash it.

[00:03:49]>> Why?

[00:03:50]>> Because it's dirty.

[00:03:52]>> Oh, >> she found the underwear. Guys, told you yesterday she found it. She wouldn't really wash it. Yeah, we're going to wash it.

[00:03:59]Wash it.

[00:04:00]>> We're going to wash it and then you can wear it. Something smells like it's burning.

[00:04:04]>> You smell it?

[00:04:04]>> Daddy.

[00:04:05]>> Daddy's coming.

[00:04:08]Where did he go? Mom.

[00:04:10]>> Good morning, guys. I am running slow today. And today was supposed to be the day where we declutter and especially clean the garage just really bad. Paw got me Mother's Day gift, which needs to fit in the garage. I'll show you guys after we get the kids off to school. But I've been telling him forever that I needed this cuz we have so many kids and the one we have now is not adequate to fit them all. Maybe you guys know where I'm going. So, he got me this and I'm like, where are we going to put it? The garage is literally a disaster. We've got stuff for Nola's ice cream in there.

[00:04:38]We've got washer and dryer we've been trying to figure out if we want to add to our house. Like have a second washer and dryer to keep it or to sell it or we've got just tons of boxes. And then Qua's mom's husband, Bill, his car is in one of our bays. I want to get it cleaned out. So hopefully we can do that today. I know Qua's been so busy though.

[00:04:57]I'm hoping he will say yes to helping. I can do it alone. I'm very capable. But I don't want to do it alone. I keep forgetting to get Nutella croissants and that's like the kid's favorite breakfast. And then we just ate all the pancakes yesterday. So, we're having cereal and bananas this morning. We had smoothies yesterday with pancakes. I can make a smoothie again. You want a smoothie? No. Thank you. Okay. I need to get more croissants today. Gets into this. He likes like a certain shirt or pants and he wants to wear it every single day. And like I let him wear it two days in a row yesterday. I picked my battles. Trying to talk here. Like you cannot wear that shirt three days in a row. Your teacher's going to think I like don't clean you. Just make me go change. I do not like these pumps. Look, it gets like all sticky and then I can't hump it and then I'm literally cleaning this thing every single day. So, if you guys have a better idea, I've seen once where they like it's like an olive oil pour type thing. I might try that. Lon change his shirt.

[00:05:49]>> Why does he change his shirt?

[00:05:50]>> He's had that shirt on for three. This is the third day.

[00:05:53]>> I told you the same thing. You made me change his shirt. Tell him to change my pants. I was like, why not your shirt? I don't know.

[00:05:59]>> I told him to change it yesterday. Guess what he did?

[00:06:02]>> He wore it. He wore a jacket.

[00:06:03]>> Came in with a jacket over it.

[00:06:05]>> I noticed it, too. A look at a handsome boy.

[00:06:08]>> Much better. Thank you.

[00:06:09]>> I love your shirt.

[00:06:10]>> Loves like really baggy clothes, too.

[00:06:13]Looks like he's in pajamas.

[00:06:15]>> Look at his pretty shirt.

[00:06:17]>> You look so handsome and clean. Brush your hair. I think we're going to have to cut Landon's hair just cuz he won't he won't brush it. I told him he needs to start brushing it. We won't cut your hair. He's a trim. Just like little trim.

[00:06:30]>> Cut my hair, too.

[00:06:33]I'm actually going to first do a mohawk.

[00:06:35]>> Do you have plans today?

[00:06:36]>> I was going to go to work.

[00:06:38]>> Oh.

[00:06:38]>> Oh, you knew me.

[00:06:39]>> I said we were going to declutter the house today.

[00:06:42]>> That was supposed to be my mother's day.

[00:06:44]So, we can we do it today or Oh, no. We can do it different. We can do it next week. We'll see. Okay. So, looks like we're going to need a new plan for the day. Or maybe I'll like start it.

[00:07:03]Just got back home from taking the kids to school. I want to get all these boxes unboxed. We have big trash day coming up, so I need to get the boxes out and like cut up. I also bought this little box cutter, which is so cool to just help break down boxes and stuff.

[00:07:16]Occupational hazard having so many boxes. But let's start opening some stuff. Some of this I ordered and some was PR. I got this cute little Mother's Day gift from Q. How sweet. Dark chocolate bites. Looks like flowers for Mother's Day. Oh, how cute. Isn't these last year, too? This is so sweet. Pretty sure this was my Tik Tok shop order.

[00:07:38]Honestly, can't remember. Oh, yes. I got the new Kapari Sun illuminating sunscreen. Comes with a little brush.

[00:07:45]Oh, and then I got the Kapari sunst sticks. I had these out for our team bonding and somebody took them home for sure. I don't have them anymore. So, I got two more.

[00:07:55]Guys, I got a package from Diet Coke. Oh my gosh. Diet Coke and The Devil Wears Prada.

[00:08:04]How cool is that? I love Diet Coke. Used to be Diet Pepper Girl. Dr. Pepper girl.

[00:08:10]Now I'm Diet Coke all the way. I have been dying to open this one since I saw, but I knew I wanted to vlog it. This is Tinker. Tyler Cameron and his girlfriend came out with this brand. He was on the Bachelor or the Bachelorette.

[00:08:25]Look how freaking cool. She made like tools that are actually cute. How freaking cute is this? Weekend projects.

[00:08:35]Cute. This is for Paw. Oh, how cute.

[00:08:38]Tinker t-shirt. Weekend Projects Club.

[00:08:41]And a little tote bag. This is so cute.

[00:08:44]I think all their products are being sold in Target, too. I'm obsessed. Tate is girlfriend's name. She is like the sweetest human ever. I met her. Was it when was it? Last year. How cute.

[00:08:56]Measuring tape. Look how cute and pretty it is, too. Screwdriver. Hammer. I'm going have to hide this from quite cosmetics. Oh, fun. We got a bunch of stain lip cream. I also got this shirt off Tik Tok shop. I am in love. Roz milk hair serum. Detangles and hydrates.

[00:09:16]Landon needs this. It says fragile.

[00:09:18]Handle with care. Oh, it's from Sony.

[00:09:21]Sony link bud clips. Actually, I've seen these everywhere. I've been dying to try these. So cute. Oh, how cool. So, these ones like clip on your ears. Eye patches. Stuck on you prickly pear cactus grow kit. Oh, that's fun. Me and the kids can do that. Oh, and they added a road. I've never tried road. This is exciting. And I got an Amazon gift card.

[00:09:44]That is so sweet. This Mother's Day, Sony is celebrating you and all that you do. Thank you so much. Hi Karen, because you deserve a little sparkle today and everyday. Happy Mother's Day. Love, Caitlyn Minimalist. How cute is this?

[00:09:58]Look at this ring. That is gorgeous.

[00:10:01]This one I'm so excited about. It is a little Mommy and Me two-piece set for me and Nolie. How stinking cute. This one's for Nolly. Matching pants. Cute little flower lollipops. And then my size. How cute. You guys know I love Funboy. I believe they're doing like this is available in Target. My goodness. It's the Funboy pink castle. And then they sent Oh, a little pillow with Magnolia's name on it. That is so sweet. So, we got the sleepover castle. It's a pink one.

[00:10:34]And I'm pretty sure they have them at Target. A second one. I'm pretty sure this is for Hansen. We got a Hansen pillow. And the kids are almost done.

[00:10:43]Cute. Some serum. And that is it. I got to get rid of all these boxes. I can't even get out of here.

[00:10:57]Just got to baby Snap. So, I'm making my lunch finally. It's like 1:30 and I'm just now eating. I've been making these mini sliders. So weird about like meals.

[00:11:05]Like one day I want it and then I won't want it for another two weeks. So I try to like freeze a lot. Anyway, little mini slider. So cute. Little hamburger at home. Usually I make me and Qua one.

[00:11:13]He has two when I have one. But he's at Babar today working eating lunch alone.

[00:11:17]Honestly, I need the peace and quiet for a little bit. Those kids were crazy. It been raining so they've been stuck in the house. So, we built a fort. I'll insert some pictures. It was so cute.

[00:11:24]And we'll probably build more forts when they wake up. Honestly, Hansen might not even sleep today. Completely forgot to vlog. The kids just got home from school and Jackson asked for eggs and rice. So, I made him this like runny eggs and rice soy sauce. So good. Kids have piano. So, trying to get showered and before the piano teacher gets here. Yes. Anyways, everyone's showering. The piano lessons begin. I think Qua's going to bring home food so that I don't have to cook. Even though I literally just cooked eggs and rice, but I don't want to cook later, guys. I hate cooking so much. I don't mind cooking for just myself cuz I know I'm going to eat it and I'm going to like it. Anyways, I think he's going to bring F home from FBar for all the poy.

[00:11:59]And Hansen's not sleeping, but he's just watching a show. And I think Nola finally fell asleep, so she might be getting up late because she didn't fall asleep till like 2:00, which normally she falls asleep at 1:00. I'm so happy.

[00:12:10]I looked outside and it stopped raining today. We usually play pickle ball and I was like, "Oh no, we're not going to be able to play because it's pouring." But I come outside and it's so nice. It gives us just enough time for the pickle ball courts to dry and all that, but this is a mess. I know I talked to you guys a little bit yesterday about the dock, but I don't have a zoom on this camera, so I can't like zoom in. Our side railing is also like falling apart over here. The roof is a towel roof, so it's like really really heavy. We're gonna pull that off and make it a second story. And we're also gonna have like a wall path across. I I don't know how to explain it as good as like quad does, but it's gonna look so cool. We're gonna have like a swinging chair down there.

[00:12:49]All of that. And then a couple other things I did out back. You guys saw me got these chairs and I just I put the covers on them so they could be protected by the rain and all that. And then this is in the distant future, okay? Probably not even this year, but I had the best ideas for outdoor showers.

[00:13:06]Right here we have like this whole sideyard here. The previous owners had like a garden where our shed is, but I want to take out that shed, put a sauna, and then have like a walk path up to here. I had Chachi PT make me like a mockup of it. I will insert that picture here, but I want to do that next. Kids have been cooped inside all day cuz it's literally been raining until just now. I would say let's go on the trampoline, but it's all wet. But maybe they'll go on a walk with me. Oh, there you are.

[00:13:34]You want to come out here?

[00:13:36]>> Yeah. Mom.

[00:13:39]>> Oh, there you are. You want to go on a walk?

[00:13:41]>> Yeah.

[00:13:42]>> Okay. Come on. Can you explain to me why is it so good?

[00:13:48]>> Oh, pass at the front. Then I saw the back.

[00:13:51]>> The fire truck.

[00:13:52]>> Yeah.

[00:13:53]>> Really?

[00:13:54]>> Yeah. But it went bye-bye.

[00:13:55]>> Oh, it went that way or that way?

[00:13:57]>> That way.

[00:13:58]>> Okay. Sutton has discovered Slim Gems.

[00:14:01]These are my guilty pleasure. You love him.

[00:14:04]>> Go. That's his third one.

[00:14:06]>> My fourth.

[00:14:07]>> Fourth. You keep ringing the doorbell.

[00:14:10]>> No. Yeah.

[00:14:11]>> Yeah. You guys want to show them mommy's Mother's Day gift?

[00:14:15]>> What?

[00:14:16]>> Let's get it out.

[00:14:20]>> Hey, what's up? So, this is what Qua got me for Mother's Day. I am in love. We already have a golf cart, but we're actually going to give it, I think, to Qua's mom. She just got like a condo down by the beach, so she's going to use it there. and when we go down to the beach so we can use it there. Got a new one. This one's six-seater so we can fit all the kids. You like it?

[00:14:39]>> This has been the kids favorite thing to do. You ready? Should we go stay inside the vehicle? Okay.

[00:14:46]>> Okay.

[00:14:51]>> That car.

[00:14:52]>> Yeah.

[00:14:52]>> Yeah. That's so pretty.

[00:14:55]>> And this Christmas then you That's not ours, Dad. Oh, we can't take it home.

[00:15:01]Cuz the police car >> What did you say to Yuki?

[00:15:05]>> Um I said Yuki missed us.

[00:15:09]>> Yeah, you did.

[00:15:10]>> Yeah.

[00:15:11]>> You want it?

[00:15:13]>> Where? Right there.

[00:15:15]>> Mom, look it.

[00:15:16]>> Oh, lizard. Oh, I missed it.

[00:15:19]>> Yeah, he's going back home up there.

[00:15:21]>> Yeah. To his mommy.

[00:15:22]>> Yeah.

[00:15:22]>> Yeah.

[00:15:23]>> Where' this mom go?

[00:15:24]>> He's up there.

[00:15:27]>> All of the lizards.

[00:15:28]>> Yep. I want to go up there with a lizard.

[00:15:31]>> We're not done riding, but I forgot my phone at home, so I came back to grab it. Um, but I just wanted to show you guys the state of our >> garage. So, this is Qua's mom's husband's car. So, we didn't get a new car. This is just everything I unboxed today. All of this.

[00:15:46]>> Yeah.

[00:15:47]>> I'm going to hold on to this.

[00:15:50]Mom, I'm going to sit to here and drive.

[00:15:54]Then I hold this.

[00:15:55]>> Okay.

[00:15:56]>> What about that?

[00:15:57]>> Well, we'll think about it. I need someone sit next to me.

[00:15:59]>> Why?

[00:16:00]>> I want both of you sit next to me right here.

[00:16:03]>> Yeah. So I can hold your hand.

[00:16:06]>> So I can't Oh, I need to hold on to this.

[00:16:09]>> But you can hold mommy's hand.

[00:16:10]>> Oh, I can hold on to this.

[00:16:12]>> Yeah.

[00:16:13]>> Oh, >> what do you guys think? It finally fits.

[00:16:15]Oh, >> it fits our whole family now. Okay, that's it.

[00:16:20]>> Okay, one time.

[00:16:22]>> Okay, that's it. Mom.

[00:16:25]>> Safe to say they love the golf cart.

[00:16:27]>> Mom. Mom, if people stay on the road, then we say beep beep.

[00:16:32]>> Yep. Exactly. But nobody's standing in the road, so we're not going to beep beep anyone. Right.

[00:16:36]>> Too loud to her.

[00:16:38]>> This was a family gift, I think. I think when we got our first golf cart, I think Qua also got me that for Mother's Day.

[00:16:44]Or was it my birthday?

[00:16:47]>> All right. Ready? Yes. Open your eyes.
