Family support systems, such as grandparents providing childcare assistance, significantly impact family dynamics and quality of life; when this support is removed, families must navigate a readjustment period that requires adaptation to new responsibilities and routines, ultimately leading to personal growth and improved family relationships.

>> It's been a It's been a wild year and it feels like we've just not been able to sit down and just unpack everything.
>> We we we just been adjusting to be honest with you.
>> Some of yall know, those of you with kids and helpful grandparents will know that it's a it's a readjustment. [music] >> [music] >> Good morning, Seam. It's actually the weekend today. It's a Saturday and we have a guest coming for breakfast. So, I'm just trying to get everything together. This is my first time making this, but I'm attempting to make a sausage and egg casserole that's in the oven. I'm going to put some bacon in and get my batter ready for French toast.
So, let's see how this goes. We don't have a lot of time.
>> [music] [music] [music] [music] [music] [music] [music] [music] >> You better take it quick cuz this would be >> okay. Brunch was really good. Sorry I didn't get to show you guys much of the process. I ended up rushing a bit towards the end. Um, but everyone enjoyed it. Like I said, that was my first time making like a sausage and egg casserole and I really like it. I like that you can I prepped it the night before and then you just put it in the oven on the day of. And I like anything for when you're hosting where you can do as much prep as possible. But now I actually have a baby shower to get to.
One of [snorts] our lovely friends at church is having a baby boy next month.
So excited to shower her. So I have to head off. Um they're having a boy like I said, so they asked us to wear like baby blue. And this is what I found in my wardrobe. So, this is one of those dresses kind of if you guys can tell like from the neckline because of the square neckline. It can be really hard to find bras that like don't like show the neckline with it. So, this is where I like to pull out my cakes. And a big thank you to Cakes for sponsoring today's video. I can't show you them because I have them on right now, but I'm wearing the grippy cakes. So, I love these because they don't have any like actual like adhesive. Um, so they're super super comfortable and just great if you have like sensitive skin. They kind of just if you're wearing like something like that's fitted like this, then they kind of just like stay in place. You don't have to worry about anything. And as you can see, they are very seamless. Like you can't tell you're wearing anything. And they're super comfortable. It feels like going braless except you have the support of, you know, not having any sort of slips or anything like that. But if you are wearing like something looser like a flowier top or like I love like a cowl neck if you're wearing something like that that's not as fitted and you want to make sure they're not moving around.
You can also get the sticky cakes which do have adhesive on them. I've shown you guys these before. Um but this is just like what they look like and you just place them on like that. They have different colors and like I said I like these for when I'm wearing tops that are like a bit flowier and I want to make sure these are absolutely not moving. I feel like these are just like a staple in every woman's wardrobe. They come in like these beautiful bags which make it super easy like for traveling or even like popping in your bag in case you're not sure like if you will need them. So, I will leave a QR code for you guys to scan them if you want to check them out or you can use the code cleans 15 to get 15% off. Like I said, I just I recommend every woman having these in their wardrobe. There are so many dresses that I've just kind of or tops that I haven't pulled out because I cannot find the right bra for them. Even though I love the tops, like this dress especially.
You guys know I used to wear it a lot, but the bra situation was getting annoying. So, these cakes have they've allowed me to make use of a good 30% more of my wardrobe. So, go check them out. Um, I'm going to head off. It's actually a bit of a drive. It's like 45 minutes away. So, I'm going to set off now so I'm not rushing or anything. I'm just going to go with me. I feel like it probably is like kid friendly, but I think Malikica would just have more fun with her grandparents here. They'll go to the park or whatever. Winston's. It was actually one of Winston's friends from the UK was who we had around for brunch and it was awesome. So, they're still chatting it up on the porch. So, I'm going to let them do that and off this baby shower.
>> We're a bit dark. Hopefully, it's not too wild.
>> Yes. Hopefully Jamal can help us out.
Brighten us up.
>> Help.
>> Hi guys. Like this vlog's been a bit choppy because the last time I spoke to you guys, we were hosting a friend for brunch and then I was getting ready to go to a baby shower which was so much fun. I'm going to insert some videos here.

We really wanted to film an interview for you guys, but >> yeah, didn't get around to >> Didn't get around to it this time, but they're going to be back. So when they're back, that's top of the priority list is to film that interview. Um, so yeah, since they left, we've just been adjusting back to >> We've been in survival mode. We have been in survival mode that >> that's we've just been adjusting back cuz they they were so helpful. Like between the two of them, they would take care of Malanka. They went on like a bunch of like fun activities. What did you do with your grandparents?
>> We went to Bubble Wild.
She's trying to act upset because she I told her she couldn't have an ice pop yet and we're going to go for a walk.
She said so she can have the ice pop then. So she's you can't you can't even keep a socking face. You can't even if you wanted to.
Girl, you too happy. Um but yeah, they did like a bunch of stuff on Bubble World.

>> Yeah. And some of you all know, those of you with kids and helpful grandparents will know that it's a it's a readjustment cuz boy, they introduce you to a level that is impossible to maintain.
>> Mhm.
>> Unless they move in with you, >> which we trying to convince them to do.
>> Yeah.
>> To move to the UK cuz Yeah. It was just really nice. Like they were super present with Malikica obviously like helped it like I I barely cooked. My mom did Mr. cooking. My dad is also really like >> hands on >> hands on so he did a lot of cleaning as well. It was just a really nice break.
Like we're so grateful to them because we'll we'll talk more like we're due like a proper like full update because there are some big things to share. It's been a It's been a wild year and it feels like >> yeah, >> we've just not been able to sit down and just unpack everything. So, we need to do one of those videos.
>> We're due a big update video with you guys. Um, but yeah, it was just really nice having them. It gave us an opportunity to kind of just like recoup and even though like the adjustment period of like, you know, having the help and then not having it is difficult, we really are better for it.
Like we feel more refreshed. Um, we just got to rest. We got to hang out.
>> Um, >> so yeah, it's been >> it was nice. It was nice. It was nice.
>> It was very, very nice. So yeah, from here on out, we're going to try and be more consistent with the vlogs um from this month, from July. So hopefully you guys can look forwards to that. And yeah.
>> Yeah. No, we are excited to be back. And also with I feel like with vlogging, you sometimes get into a bit of a rut not knowing what you guys want to see. So let us know if there's anything in particular >> even if it is bringing back the the sit down videos.
>> Yeah.
>> And having more conversational type of content. Let us know if you want to see that because yeah like you guys are you know why we create and you help to inspire us you know with ideas. So >> yeah absolutely and I've been doing YouTube for what like 5 years now. So this is day officially properly day one of um our honeymoon although it's like 4:00 in the afternoon.
>> Why does the time go on holiday?
>> I don't even know. And it's such a blessing to be able to have this job like you know get to stay home with the Leica get to have that flexibility but you do get like just things can end up feeling like a bit monotimous and we always want like to feel we always want you guys to feel like our content is like present for you guys. So, if there's something that you want to see, that always helps us out, too, cuz sometimes when you're sat in front of a camera, um, yeah, like you can feel like a bit out of touch with what's going on like on the other side. So, we love the back and forth conversation with you guys.
