NEW CLEAN WITH ME +ORGANIZE + HOUSE RESTOCK RESET | CLEANING MOTIVATION decluttering JAMIE'S JOURNEY

[Music] hey guys today we're going to be doing some home restocking and home resetting I'm also going to be sharing a couple of healthier recipes cookie dough protein bites a new protein shake that has been my go-to daily for the past couple of weeks of course doing a lot of cleaning a lot of decluttering and a lot of organizing so let's get ready and do this together [Music] [Music] hey guys welcome to Jam's journey I hope you're ready we're going to be doing a lot today so it's been a while since I did a good clean out of the fridge the pantry a declutter a wipe down a restock so that's what we're going to be doing today on day two I'll be sharing some meal prepping and some healthy recipes with you guys I've been kind of on this journey to start doing more strength training and with that comes you know healthier recipes higher calories higher protein so a lot I'm going to be sharing in today's video and I just want want to say thank you for being here I hope when you leave this video you're feeling good you're feeling happy maybe you feel motivated but it doesn't matter I just hope that by the end of this video I can make your day a little bit brighter thank you for being here truly thank [Music] you [Music] we [Music] so I am currently trying to get this video edited in real time as I'm doing the voiceovers I'm getting ready well Mike and I are getting ready for a little overnight getaway so his work party they actually delay until January which I've heard of a lot of workplaces doing that and I really like it it's just nice because December can get so crazy you know trying to fit everything in and personally it's just harder to fit those type of parties in and fully enjoy them but then the other side of that I feel like having it in January a few weeks after the crazy craziness of the holiday season you can go breathe and relax and just fully enjoy yourself so he does work um if you guys are new here he works fully remote his office I think is I think it's around 2 hours away so we are going to go to the party and then we are just going to stay overnight in a hotel because it was going to be pretty late and we didn't really want to be driving um late that late at night so should be a fun evening a fun little getaway and we're very lucky to have grandparents watching the girls they love going to their grandparents house so it's kind of a win-win for everyone but it should be [Music] fun [Music] moment [Music] okay so pendant light cleaning they're such a pain I know you guys you guys get it um so a tip that I have heard before that I've never tried is to take them off and put them in the dishwasher these are too big they would not fit in the dishwasher but there's just also something that just makes me nervous cuz like what if it would crack or break then you have to buy a whole new one um so I don't know if you guys have tried it you can feel free to leave a comment in the comment section but what I do the best method there's really no true best be best method is I go in with a wet rag a wet microfiber cloth and Dawn power wash and I wipe down the outside and the inside of the pendant light and then I go in with a wet e-cloth the glass and polishing cloth so a wet glass and polishing e-cloth wipe it down Outside Inside and then I follow up with a dry glass and polishing e-cloth and dry it all and that is the best method I have found so Dawn power wash with a white micro wet microfiber cloth and then a wet glass and polishing ecloth and then a follow it up with a dry ecloth I hope that makes sense um but that's how I do it and then here I'm going to get ready and soak some of Mike's dirty hat he wears a hat every single day around the house every single day a ball cap and so I was going to do some deep cleaning I'm just going to combine some powdered tide um I just kind of eyeball it powdered tide borax and oxyclean white revive and let it soak all day [Music] long chilling with you going to have a good good [Music] good [Music] [Applause] [Music] a good good good sh [Applause] [Music] so I've been running a humidifier on my bedside table nightly it is just so dry here and it is a pain to clean humidifiers if you have a humidifier you know what I'm talking about I get this one off of Amazon I will have it linked in the description the one link that has all of the um links to the cleaning products tools that I'm using that'll be in that link but if you guys have a recommendation for a humidifier that's easy to clean let me know in the comment section um this one is just it was highly rated on Amazon I've had it for years and I like it no issues it's just a pain to clean so I use my hand steamer my Bissell Steam Chat hand steamer that seems the best way I've tried cleaning it and scrubbing it with vinegar nothing helps like the steam shot hand steamer so that's what I was doing [Music] with you I could [Music] do [Music] [Applause] cleaning out the fridge and restocking is not one of my favorite chores to do but it's one of those that gives me the most satisfaction when I'm done there's a lot of cleaning tasks that I really enjoy doing and it gives me satisfaction when it's done like clean floors or vacuuming um but when it comes to putting groceries away restocking cleaning fruits and making everything look nice it's just a tedious task I find and I just don't enjoy it but I love love love the way it looks when it's all done I don't do it as often as I should but I notice that when I do do it properly from start to finish the kids make better choices when it comes to food and snacks and we also don't waste as much food because I feel like when things are decluttered are all over the place food gets hidden and we just end up wasting more so this is my goal to do this more [Music] often [Music] [Music] a so I know I've talked about doing more strength training but something else I've really been focusing on as well is getting more protein in my diet it's important to get in enough protein and the right amount of proper calories in order to properly build muscles nutrition when it comes to exercise is just as important and I know some people would even argue nutrition is even more important than the actual exercise so I've been loving this protein shake that I've been making recently I'll share the recipe here in a minute when I'm done restocking the fridge so I just ordered some more like I just got in some more of the protein powder I've been using lately so I'll also share that I've always drank the pre-made shakes because I could never find the right protein shake recipe that I've Loved but this one is really really good I've been making it almost daily it's not too sweet but it also kind of tastes like a treat I'll share that when I restack the freezer and declutter the pantry with the items that I got in my latest Thrive Market order that's where I I've been getting the protein powder because it's cheaper than if I got it from my local Kroger which is where I can get it locally and I also checked on Amazon and it is by far the cheapest at Thrive [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] Market [Music] so in my Thrive Market order I also stocked up on lots of everyday stack for the kids that are just healthier it's currently 4° and it feels like -10 so we've been spending a lot of time inside and I don't know about you but we tend to eat more when we're inside especially the kids they constantly want snacks so I feel better if there's healthier Alternatives fully stocked in the house I've also said this before but when everything is neat and organized in the fridge and the pantry the girls truly make better choices for themselves and I also want to say this out front Thrive Market saves me money every single time they have guaranteed savings if you have a yearly membership and at the end of the year if you don't save as much as you spend on the membership they will credit you the difference so there's nothing to [Music] lose [Music] n okay so before I share the goodies that I got from dve Market to do some restocking in the pantry I wanted to share this protein powder I actually already got into it I've tried it before from Thrive and this is my second time and I made a protein smoothie or a protein shake just recently at a protein smoothie been trying to get in as much protein as I can I'm aiming for about 100 to 100 a little over 100 gam a day of protein and I really really liking it all right so the goal here was to stock up on some healthy snacks healthy food for the whole entire family some protein pancake and waffle mix I'm going to make something tomorrow with these for breakfast applesauce pouches so I've been using these in my protein shakes to give it a little bit more flavor sometimes I'll add it to my coffee I like my coffee pretty black but I just like how it's not super super sweet so 10 calories um zero sugars so really really good especially when I can add it to my smoothies or protein shakes the girls love these fruit circles we get these every time so I've been doing a lot of Greek yogurt lately for a an afternoon snack or a snack before bed just again to get a little bit more protein in and instead of granola I love granola I love the crunch of it I love adding that to my yogurt but it can be full of sugar even like the lower sugar content granola still has a lot of sugar and that's just not like if I want a lot of sugar I'll just eat a cookie I don't want to add it into my meals or those type of snacks so I've gotten this before and it's a cereal but I just add it to my vanilla Greek yogurt and the girls actually like this for breakfast it has 9 G of fiber and 11 g of protein so sprinkle this they have a couple different flavors really really like this brand our staple every time the girls love the Lara the Lara bars so chocolate chip cinnamon the Zar protein I get my collagen peptide powder from Thrive Market I've never tried the vanilla I always just get the unflavored but I'm on a big vanilla kick right now with my vanilla Greek yogurt my vanilla creamer my vanilla protein powder I'm just on a big vanilla kick so I was thought why not get this so I'm going to try this out see if I like it better than the unflavored um macaroni and cheese um these are kind of a new thing that I got some compostable sandwich bags thought it just be a little bit better I feel a little bit you know I'm not perfect when it comes to sandwich bags but Little Steps so I got those we love this popcorn Mike especially I this is going to be gone within a day or two he loves it Avery takes popcorn most days for a snack to school so we really really like this kind highly highly recommend if you guys order from Thrive Market get this Himalayan pink salt organic popcorn it's really really good some kind breakfast bars flax seeds I've been adding that to my smoothies every day I add it to the girls smoothies as well they really like these mini fruit bars so I've been doing the protein smoothies and so I've been doing the protein smoothies and the um protein shakes almost daily and I kind of get bored of the same thing so sometimes I'll just look for something to add to it so I'll either do like peanut butter powder powdered peanut butter um to change up the flavor very easily also to add a little bit of protein or something like cacao nibs I always kind of laugh when I say cacao it sounds like I'm a bird just making a noise um but this is something that you can add that adds a it changes the flavor just a little bit and it sweetens it up a bit so I got those um some pasta this is the chickpea pasta so 14 grams of protein the girls think this tastes just like regular pasta so um just gives a little bit more nutrition than your normal pasta um applesauce pouches that's a staple some roasted garlic sauce um that I'll use with that peanut butter some ranch and more jelly this is our favorite this wild blueberry fruit sprad and honestly love Thrive Market I've been a member for over years if you're on the fence just give it a try I truly don't think you guys are going to be

popcorn in there extra snacks that the girls got in stockings and from school and other holiday engagements so just a lot of stuff in here and what I'm going to do is just come in here Spruce things up go through everything like yeah like some of these boxes in here we barely have anything we're going to clean this up and there's spoon why are there I don't know why there's spoons I was almost going to say why is there money and it's cuz the girls got a gumball machine for Christmas this was one of the top gifts that they asked for this top gifts um they know they're supposed to ask us before they put any money in there to get gum out but this little thing was honestly at the top of all of their lists yeah look there's like four bags of something in that big box so we are going to clean this out restock with all the goodies from Thrive and get this Pantry looking [Music] good [Music] he [Music] he [Music] so I definitely want to properly organize our pantry that's kind of a goal this year but I'll tell you I'm overwhelmed with it when it came to bathroom Organization for me it's a big project any organ organization project I know when sometimes when you look at it on an Instagram re or a Tik Tok or a YouTube video it looks like it it a fairly simple process but I've been open with you guys that it does take me a long time it's a lot of work but with the bathroom most of the items that are in my bathroom will continue to be stay there essentially I I have the same items like I have lotions I have extra toothpaste um I have my tanning my self tanner supplies and stuff like that like that's stuff that is always in my bathroom when it comes to a pantry I'm a little overwhelmed with organ organizing it oh this is the lunch packing station you can kind of see it so I have the sandwiches the fruit and veggies then she can pick something from there and then also something from the pantry and these are all also our snack bins so when the girls get home from school or if they want a snack I can say Okay grab something from that bin or the bigger bin in the fridge but anyways what I was saying was with the pantry stuff kind of always changes you know like what we have in there we don't always have the same item items and so when I organize I kind of look at each individual grouping or item and say okay how can I organize this or what would be the best way for our family to organize it like for example okay like pasta we're always going to have dried pasta in our pantry so that would be an example that would be pretty easy to find an organizer or canister or whatever or same thing with cereals but we don't always have Cheez itss we don't always have popcorn so I'm a little overwhelmed but this this is one area that I am just ready to organize because it frequently gets it fre frequently gets cluttered and messy and it drives me crazy so this is on my list we'll see hopefully I can get to it [Music] [Music] soon [Music] he [Music] so here in a minute I'm going to gather all of the empty boxes and Chuck them out into the garage Mike usually takes them to the recycl recycling center if our recycling bin is too full but I came across this Tik toac recently and made me laugh cuz when we get boxes I just Chuck them out into the garage and he always takes care of them and this Tik Tock was essentially um a lady chucking the boxes out into the garage and said it's payback as she went and picked up assuming her partner husband's clothes off of the floor and it kind of made me laugh cuz Mike will just before bed he'll just take off his clothes and he just drops them to the floor he just puts his clothes on the floor and I'm always when I'm gathering clothes up for the watch was each day grabbing his clothes from the floor but you know what it doesn't bother me and he never complains about picking up all of the boxes scattered around the garage so I just thought that was kind of [Music] funny [Music] good morning hope you guys are doing well today I am tired I'm sure you can tell try to cover it up with a little bit of makeup um but I got woken up early this morning and I couldn't go back to sleep so I'm a little tired so the girls don't have school today because it's pretty cold and we got some snow in ice overnight and I think just it's so cold out that when we got the snow that we did it just made the roads really really icy so they canceled school today so we got a call I think it was at like 5:30 this morning 5 5:00 so we got the call we usually get a text and a call it woke me up and I could not go back to bed so I'm a little tired um but there are a few things I want to get done this morning before we probably do something together later this afternoon because it's kind of like a snow snow day even though there's really not that much snow on the ground it's still a snow day I think they said the temperature I don't know what the actual temperature is but it feels like -16 so you know some kids have to stand out at the bus stop luckily Avery does not have to the bus comes and stops right in front of our house so it's not really a concern for us but some kids have to wait at the bus stop some kids have to walk no school today I have the girls upstairs they're cleaning their rooms and then I told them when they're done they can watch watch a TV show together um they've been watching Barbie which by the way is so cute because when I had the twins Aver was really into Barbie um like the Barbie shows and now the twins are getting into it and it's just crazy that I'm like gosh they're the same age Avery was when I had them seems like a lifetime ago but anyways they're cleaning their rooms they're going to start watching Barbie I'm going to make a few recipes do some meal [Music] I will have this full recipe Linked In the description so I won't be walking you step by step on how to make these full description or full recipe in the description but if you guys have been around for a while I've made energy bites before the difference with these is you add vanilla protein powder and here's a little tip so I've come across different protein bite recipes before where you added protein powder but they still had a little chalky taste so a little tip if you're adding protein powder to Yogurt which I've been doing lately instead of adding or even in this case I added water to the protein powder and mixed that up before I put it in with the rest of the ingredients so that is the key so you don't get chalky that chalky taste I've also been sometimes when I don't want a protein shake but I want like a high protein snack I'll take Greek yogurt and add some protein powder to it I've tried it before we're just adding the protein powder directly to the yogurt and you get that chalky taste but if I mix up the protein powder with water first and then add it to the Greek yogurt it's it's good so there's a little hack for you but I just mix it all up in a bowl and then I'm going to put it in the fridge for about 15 or 20 minutes to harden them a little bit so I can make them into to little [Music] [Music] bites [Music] another high protein breakfast snack or you can really make these um or eat these any time of the day they are mg griddle bites I have made these before the kids really like them so you can use any pancake mix but I use the protein pancake mix Again full recipe for this is also in the description these are so easy the girls ended up eating these for dinner that evening just just cuz we wanted something warm since it was so cold out but these are really really good we CH them with some [Music] [Applause] [Music] syrup [Music] o [Music] okay so when I make the protein bites you mix all the ingredients up and then I put it in the fridge for maybe about 15 or 20 minutes just to make them a little bit hard and and then I can put them into balls here they still are a tiny bit sticky so once I put them on this um pan or tray then I go and put them in the freezer for another like I usually half an hour an hour it doesn't really matter until they're frozen and then I put them in a Ziploc storage bag and store them in the freezer and then just pop them out they defrost within 5 minutes they are so good I actually kind of prefer them like slightly Frozen and just as they're defrosting you guys these are so so good you have to try [Music] them [Music] he [Music] we're getting to the end of the video and I have not shared High Point and low point to the week so my high point I'll start out with that we haven't even gotten there yet yet but I'm so excited for this weekend to just get away break away from the practices activities games you know shuffling to and from school and basketball and softball and soccer practice and just kind of relax like I said um it'll just be nice to socialize with his co-workers um I'll be meeting them for the first time and then we'll just get to have like a fun evening um away so I'm really really looking forward to that just to get away and then the low point would just be it's it's been so cold like I said we've been cooped up in the house we've had days off of school because of the extreme cold some kids in our district have to walk some kids have to sit outside and wait for the bus so we've had we had Monday off because of Martin Luther King Jr day and then we have had multiple days off because of the extreme cold wind chills of5 -20 so at this point everyone's going a little Stir Crazy getting on each other's nerves you know Mike's business as usual trying to work the kids are just starting to like lose it cuzz we were home all last weekend we had a really relaxing lazy weekend at home and then they've been off multiple days so everyone's going a little crazy and we just need to go back to our routines and a little separation so you know not a horrible bad part to the week it is fun cuz the kids have that like snow day excitement and I love watching it cuz it's like a good memory as a kid like the excitement of getting school off unexpectedly so it is fun to watch that as a mom but life is also a little chaotic when things don't go on like normal but I'm always trying to look at the positive and although it's crazy I am grateful that I'm home Mike's even home you know although he's working he's still home we don't have to worry about child care or worrying about what happens when school getss unexpectedly cut off and I know that's a big headache for a lot of parents so I'm also trying to look at the positive and at least we don't have to worry about that and I'm very grateful [Music] so I'm going to be wrapping up the video here in a minute but don't forget to check out Thrive Market if it's something you've been thinking about you can
