all three of us so i hope you guys like that um that included something funny something cute when i straightened her hair the girl went crazy you couldn't tell her nothing she turned into a teenager automatically she was flipping and putting her hair behind her ears and tall singing around my mom was like girl she's like can't put that into a ponytail and lizzy is like why you don't like it she's like no it's not that i don't like it is that you turned to something else but it was funny but let me go up and sit here for six minutes now talking to y'all and let me go i got i got errands to run this is the dog food i was talking about y'all he is in love with this this is the hills prescription diet dental care td this is favorite dry now i know you guys are going to want to know if i give him wet food and yes i do it's by the same brand and it is the tender chicken dinner and i purchased this pet food container it's really for dogs that's what the way they advertise it i got it from amazon and i forgot how much it cost but i'll i'll put a link down below for my amazon store and you'll get to see all the things that i buy and i show in the vlog and these were the two things that i was telling you guys about that i had to go pick up from the office the first one i'm going to show you is the bible story book and it is from the bible app for kids see they turned it into a book form so all the stories that they have on that app they turned it in into the book like they made a book out of it and i really like this because if you don't want your child in front of a device all day but you want you want them to to get that experience from the app because you really like the app like i really like the app they turned it into a book so i'm like oh yeah that's what i'm talking about so i'm happy for that the kids don't know that i got it um they were on the app today and then when they look at i think i'm like oh my god it's in a book i'm like yeah buddy i think we're gonna read it tonight before bed so they don't know about it so it's a surprise and oh i want to show you guys this see i'm all on my bed okay these are the little bible books that we have so we have our toddler ones let me get these right here these are the two toddler ones this is the read and share toddler book and it comes with a dvd and then this is the little girls bible story book for mothers and daughters have these two i can't remember where i got these from y'all so please don't ask let me see if it shows it on the back hold on some of them it when all else fails go to amazon but let me see this one says the baker books but i think this one came from a subscriber though i think i got this from a subscriber and then but when all those fails go on amazon and amazon has it all this is eddie's this is lizzie's this is the toddler one um and then well actually this one is not a toddler one hold on let me show you the top one your girl is all confused this is the toddler one the sweetest story with a little girl and then this one is just girl or boy so we have these two then we have then we have the next one this is the little girl's bible story book for mothers and daughters and then i believe a subscriber gave this to me as well either a subscriber or someone from uh dcf which is the department of children and families is the foster care system i think either someone from the foster care system gave this to me um because i've had this for years i had this before lizzie i believe i believe so i can't quite remember y'all my memory is bad let me you can see i don't know what store it's from but neither of them have read this yet but this is for the teenagers and um they're gonna read this when they get older so i haven't let them touch it now you see it looks so brand new it looks very crisp but the pages look crisp but they've been in these three and now we have this one oh yeah now we have our fifth one and i think this one's gonna be more like family time nighttime one this one because this one really was at first but now we're gonna do this one and then mama has her bible oh and i have another teenage bible hold on i'm gonna go show you that one hold on one second okay i have another one this extreme teen bible i actually bought this when i was in my 20s so i've had this bible for all i don't want to say 20 years maybe 16 or 17 years i've had this for a long time because this one right here this is the new international version and it's really easy to read um but before before i purchased this i had this bible and this is really easy to read sometimes the bible can be intimidating because you feel like you can't understand it so if you can't understand get one of these don't be ashamed it's the exact same thing it's just the wording is more clear to understand but the niv new international version this one is clear to understand as well so i just put this one in in onto the side in the back and the kids are gonna have this when they get older so we have two two teen ones boom boom boom now on to my mic okay let's see what we got y'all let's see we got i don't want to break it getting it out hold on yo i know you're like girl if you don't show us that thing right here y'all right here i ain't going nowhere i'm right here with y'all right here with y'all look at the mic oh yeah i'll set it up even better because it's not proper right there but i'll set it up but yes i'm excited so i can do correct voiceovers and not that mess that i was doing with my phone and then transferring it over to the computer and laying it over the video but yeah now you girl about to go out there and cook dinner okay before i go out to make dinner i just want to show you the proper way how i put it in front of the mic so that's how you do it like that yo boom boom boom just wanted to make sure i showed you the right way oh yeah i got this thing on my bed sure do but i'm so excited to try this thing out y'all i'm so excited so if you

parmesan chicken now this this video is not sponsored but they gave me three meals so i'm using them okay and i love how they have everything in the bag everything ready and then we got a chicken and that is some good chicken it was not a lot of fat when i have to do too much cleaning look at your girl get it now i don't have to do too much talking in this because i just wanted you to see me cook dinner like i've done plenty videos like this before where you just hear some music jamming on the ones and twos and just watching me cook so i decided to keep doing it and i love how this is basically something i've never made before like i've made parmesan chicken before but not this way you know adding some extra stuff you know so just watch your girl cook i guess that's all i want to say oh no there is something else i want to say i want y'all to be honest with me now be honest with you girl how do you like the voiceover now i'm using that mic i'm using that mic that i just showed y'all in the last clip before cooking oh man this feels good it feels a whole lot better than recording on my phone and then transferring the file over to the computer and then it's not even i don't

first grade second grade because at first glance they look the same but they have different things so you can kind of tell this is when we looked at it and this is the classic recycle um i hope you guys really enjoy our vlogs and that they're really i don't know like i don't want to i i don't want our vlogs to be like some other people's where they just put a lot of drama in theirs but sometimes i do want to make our titles very interesting because i notice if you put non-interesting titles people don't really watch them so then you put like a eye-catching title but some people take it a little too far and they put a drama fill title there's a difference between an eye-catching title and a drama-catching title i've been up all day and my puff is getting flat so your girl may have to do her hair again when it gets too flat i think i think i've been i've been pulled to tell somebody this wait i got one eyebrow looking darker than the other your girl is tired if you feel that things aren't going your way or that your days are very like blah or sad or you feel like you're praying to god and you feel like he hasn't heard you or you see other people moving ahead and going farther in life and i don't know how to explain like you look over there you see that person always smiling or you look over here and you see that that person has been struggling like you've been struggling you're both been struggling together but then that person is moving forward and you're still feeling stuck [Music] god says to keep on going and keep on trying keep on moving don't give up it's like your path may be longer than somebody else's and not only that maybe you have to take a little longer to get there maybe you're not ready yet maybe your path is not their path so just keep on trying keep on pushing keep on believing that that it'll it'll happen your day will come where you will you will succeed or you will get that thing that you're looking for or you'll just be happy you know and i feel like if you woke up again today it means you still have you still have something to to get to so i don't know i just felt like i need to say that to somebody sometimes i'll be watching people's vlogs or listening and they'll say something oh i felt that that was for me i feel like i had to give something to you and no matter how hard life gets keeping it down [Music] so [Music] you
