SUMMER CLEAN & RESTOCK | CLEANING MOTIVATION | SUMMER BUCKET LIST

[Music] happy summer friends today I'm going to take you along as I get some cleaning done I have a grocery order pickup to do some restocking and I even am putting together a little summer bucket list for the kids the kids help me pick out all the things that they want to do this summer we do this every single summer but I have a little spin on it this year which I think is so cute so if you need a little motivation today to get some things checked off of your to-do list come hang out with me and we can get some things done [Music] together all right so we are starting in my bedroom which is typically where I start most videos but today I'm actually washing the bedding so I'm not going to make the bed I'm going to take the sheets off get those going in the washing machine because my comforter actually takes forever to dry so I have to do this like first thing in the morning so that way my comforter is dry by the time I get ready to make our bed in the evening before we go to sleep now I don't know about you guys but summer is my absolute favorite season of the year and I especially love when my kids are home for summer break we can sleep in in the mornings we have lots of activities planned for the summer um they are still doing sports during the summer so they still have practices and stuff like that and I feel like I'm driving around just as much as I do during the school year but we also have lots of time to still be able to do the beach the pool and just enjoy each other and do some fun stuff a lot of you told me all the fun things that you guys have planned for this summer in my last video like in the comments of the last video so I loved reading all about your summer plans but I also want to know what is your absolute favorite thing about summer let me know in the comments All right so now that I've got my bedding going in the washing machine I'm actually running out to Sam's Club and Walmart to do a grocery pickup so I didn't film that part but I am back from picking up my groceries it was so easy I just ordered everything online and then just scheduled my Sam's pickup first and then on the way back I stopped through Walmart and picked up my groceries from Walmart so now I'm going to unload these and I'll give you guys a little grocery haul [Music] we on looking back on the things that we've taken for gred but feels like we Lear to be better without what's been holding us back now let's move closer to a new history find out what we can be together take my hand and we will conquer the world this is our final chance cuz one day we'll be looking back at this we were in a big mess together but we found a way to choose right from we found a strength to go on together to go all together together all right we are back from Walmart and Sam's Club and I'm going to show you all the food that we got for this week and then I'll take you outside and show you what drinks we got let's start over here with our Walmart stuff first so tonight I'm making this chicken taco rice casserole type dish and so I went ahead and got some already cooked chicken it's seasoned cooked pulled it's about a pound and I'm going to be using this in our casserole tonight um but this chicken is so good I love the seasoning on it and it's just great because it's easy and you can use it for a lots of different types of recipes and lunches and stuff you can even put it in salads wraps all kinds of stuff so got that I got some black beans Rotel chicken broth and this taco rice it's already seasoned as well so all that is for the dinner that I'm going to be cooking tonight and then we were out of ketchup so so I got some more of that and then another recipe that I'm cooking this week is like a three cheese pepperoni bake or three cheese tortillini pepperoni bake I don't know um so I got all this stuff for that so we've got some traditional prago sauce this is just my favorite like spaghetti SL marinara sauce I got the Frozen cheese tortolini and then we've got some Italian sausage just some mild Italian sausage pepper Oni and shredded mozzarella and I will either share this recipe on YouTube or I know I'll share it over on Instagram and Tik Tok so if you're over there be sure to follow me because I share tons of recipes over there and it's a little bit easier to find and save those recipes on Instagram or Tik Tok so um definitely check it out and I'll be sharing that recipe soon all right and then we got some fruit I got grapes and strawberries we've got some turkey meat for lunches I got these English muffins and Canadian bacon we're going to do some breakfast sandwiches some like homemade Egg McMuffins just to have for breakfast during the summer and then I got some mild cheddar cheese we also have American in the fridge already um I got some muffins this is just a variety pack I asked for um chocolate chip muffins because that's the kids favorite but they were out of just a pack of chocolate chips so this is a variety pack so it's got chocolate chip blueberry and that's it blueberry and chocolate chip in there and then we've got some cheeses this is going to be great for like boat snacks or we have a baseball tournament this weekend so I was thinking about making some snacks for that and this is the mild cheddar pepper jack colby jack and gouda and then we also got some Cocoa Pebbles K my 12-year-old son actually he's about to be 13 in a few days um he requested Cocoa Pebbles so I got that for him Ritz crackers also to go with like our cheese and crackers and meats and then mac and cheese because Gracie June requested that now moving on to our Sam's Club items we got some Ben's original ready rice this is the Jasmine and you just heat it up in the microwave I love having these because we all love jasmine rice and so we eat this with a lot of our meals we'll just whip up some sort of like grilled chicken or pork chops or whatever else and we cook this rice with it so this is always great to have on hand as a side and then we've got popcorn my kids are obsessed with popcorn they pretty much eat it every day as a snack so got some popcorn we've got some bread um these chicken cordon Blues these are great for an easy dinner one night like if I just don't feel like cooking or I don't have a whole lot of time to prep some stuff then I like having these on hand we got some bacon this is a three pack of bacon from Sam's and then pepperoni pizzas these are our favorite frozen pizzas we actually prefer these pizzas to ordering out now so we get the red bearing classic crust pepperoni pizzas this comes in a pack of three pizzas from Sam's Club so I went ahead and got two packs of those and then the last food item that I got which is a must for the summer are boiled peanut and each of these cans is 6 lbs of boiled peanuts so I got two of these this should last us I don't know maybe a month but the last time I showed boiled peanuts on my channel a lot of you were like what are boiled peanuts let me just tell you if you can get your hand on some boiled peanuts get some they are so good we love eating these on the beach at the ball field everywhere so this is definitely a great little summer snack all right I'm back out in the garage and I was just going to show you the drinks that I got really quick we've got some Diet daughter Peppers we've got some Gatorades Red Bull and a bunch of waters I got the diet Dr Pepper and the waters from um Walmart di diet Dr Pepper is not sold at our Sam's Clubs that's why I do that and then Red Bull and Gatorades both came from Sam's Club definitely the best prices that you can find okay I'm going to put all the freezer items away first and I did have to move a few things around in here um we had this big bag of ice so I just stuck that in the bottom drawer and then we've got lots of pizzas lots of frozen foods for easy lunch and dinners throughout the summer if we need them and then once I get all the freezer stuff put up I'm going to go ahead and put away all the fridge items I need to wash our fruit and I'm also going to restock the items that I got for the pantry [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] together and dancing closely together and stay forever young what about you and either can we to find a way to align with each other let's move closer to hisory find out what we can be together take my hand and we will conquer the world this is our final chance cuz one day we'll be looking back at this we were in a big mess together but we found a way to choose right from wrong we found a strength to go on [Music] together to go on together together to go all [Music] [Applause] [Music] together together [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] together to go together go [Music] [Applause] [Music] together right I've got all the groceries put away other than the fruit but I'm going to wash my fruit in the sink so I needed to go ahead and get these dishes put away and get the dirty dishes in the sink put in the dishwasher and my dishwasher was actually almost full so I'm going to go ahead and run the dishwasher as well and then I'll be able to wash my fruit in the sink now usually every summer I'll do like a summer prep video so this is kind of my prep with me for summer type video and usually I share the chore charts for the summer but I haven't even printed those out yet we have been go go go the first couple weeks of Summer already and so I have not had a chance to figure out what chores I want them to do over the summer but I am going to print those out and I will share those in next week's video but if you want I also kind of I also kind of wanted to update them a little bit and make them a little cuter but I did share them last year if you want to check out my summer prep video for last year I shared the chore charts I talked all about how I use them they're super simple to use and you can pretty much you know change it for whatever your family needs so if you want to download those chore charts I have them linked on my blog it's just Amy dar.com and you can print those out they're free but I am going to do some updating for this Summer's chore charts um I just haven't gotten around to that yet so hopefully I can get that done this week and share them with you in next week's video another thing that we do to prep for summer is our summer bucket list and so we actually did do that for this summer and I will show you guys what we're doing on our summer bucket list at the end of the video but I also did a little bit I did it a little bit different from last year which I think is really fun so I can't wait to show y'all so stick around for that [Applause] [Applause] come out and play it's Saturday and I promise I love you much better now the sour taste will wash away cuz I promise you promise I'm better now wouldn't hold it against you if you say that you don't want to get close to me close to what we used to be but I just feel like dancing are you feeling it too [Music] okay my sink is all cleaned out and we can wash our fruits now so I'm just going to wash them in this little container that I got off of Amazon I love it it's it's more like a salad spinner but it works great for washing your fruits as well so we've got some strawberries and grapes I'm just going to let them sit in here in some vinegar and water mixture just to get them cleaned and while they sit for about 10 minutes I'm going to go ahead and clean the rest of the kitchen and breakfast [Music] don't you feel it how it feels babe won't you love me hope I kind a new way love me like yesterday [Music] I'm sure not once or [Music] twice okay I wanted to tell y'all really quick since we've been talking about summer I have found the cutest summer tank tops and shorts from Walmart the shorts that I'm wearing right now are probably my new favorite jean shorts I love the length on them and they're so so comfy and I think that they were like $12 and then the tank top that I have on right now is also from Walmart and I have this one in three different colors and they were only $5 each and I found some other cute tank tops that were also $5 each so I got a bunch of those as well but I will be living in those tank tops during the summer so I wanted to mention it to y'all I know that when you go into Walmart some not all Walmarts are that nice and so we have three different Walmarts in our area and only one of them do I ever find good stuff but usually all the good stuff that I do find is online too so I'll be sure to link all of my recent Walmart finds for you and that way if your Walmart isn't very good or maybe you're not even close to a Walmart then you can check them out online I'm telling you all the stuff is super affordable I don't think anything that I bought was more than $13 a piece and like I said the tank tops were only five bucks so I'll leave those links in the description box and in the comments for you better now wouldn't hold it against you if you say that you don't want to get close to me close to what we used to be but I just feel like dancing are you feeling it too oh baby won't you love me won't you love love me won't you love me love me like yesterday don't you feel it how it feels Baby W you love me kind of new way but kind of new tell me you feel any to and love me like yesterday oh but kind of do tell me you feeling too and love me like today wouldn't hold it against you if you say that you don't want to get close to me close to what we used to be up but I just feel like dancing are you feeling the gro oh [Music] bab all right now I'm going to rinse off my strawberries and grapes and put them in the fridge I'm going to actually just pull all the grapes off the vine and then I'm going to cut up my strawberries and I actually have these little containers that I'm going to use we use them for leftovers we use them for storing fruits veggies all kinds of different things but they are seriously the best containers so many of you have told me that you have them too and you love them so much but they are airtight so I feel like everything lasts way longer in these containers but they're also stain resistant and you can wash them in the dishwasher and I got them in a pretty big set off of Amazon it has two different sizes it has like a bigger container which these are the bigger ones and then it has one that's a little bit smaller they're just not as deep as those but it came in a pretty big set and I felt like the price was very good and like I said they came off of Amazon so if you're looking for some new containers for your fruits veggies leftovers I highly recommend these and I'll be sure to link the set that I got down in the description box and in the comments [Music] he love me like yesterday don't you feel it how it feels baby won't you love kind of new way kind of tell me you feeling it too and love me like yesterday oh but kind of tell me feel to and love me like yesterday love me like [Music] yesterday [Music] yesterday you [Music] love you feel I feel oh kind [Music] love it I yesterday [Music] [Applause] [Music] love hey this m come out as total Madness but just wait I really need to tell you something cuz I feel alone in a room surround by people I want to know if you feeling to out on the roof here with you it see [Music] so with o street lights right next to the skyine with so since it is summer I decided I'm going to go ahead and clean out the kids book bags really quick and I'm also going to clean out our wall file so first I'm going through their book bags and pulling out their binders going through all the papers they have like certificates and things that they've done in class so I'm just deciding whether I'm going to keep it or toss it and then when I go through their book bag bags and clean them all out I can actually put their book bags away for the summer which would be nice they don't have to just sit here in our breakfast area now for each of the kids I do have those keepsake boxes where I've put the little hanging file folders for grades prek or preschool all the way through 12th grade and this year I'm kind of sad because Gracie June is going into sixth grade so I'll have two middle schoolers and I notice every single year that H always has way less stuff that I decide to keep than or even go through he has way less stuff to even go through than Gracie June does cuz you know and like when they're in elementary school they do a lot more of the fun cutesy activities like she has this little poetry book here she has a fun little um picture of herself where she did an ugly Christmas sweater that she got to keep she did the disguise the turkey all kinds of different things that they do do in elementary school and I feel like K literally has nothing like he had a few awards that we were keeping and then he also had um this little art Journal type thing that they put together so it had some of the artwor that he had done in his art class which he does not like art by the way Gracie June loves art she's like my creative one and she will literally go upstairs and craft for hours but K on the other hand he actually decided that he would rather take year-long Spanish next year than take an art class so he's got year-long Spanish and year-long physical fitness next year for eighth grade they get to do that for eighth grade I guess they get to pick like a year-long one if they want to I just thought it was so funny that he decided he would rather do Spanish year round and have a harder class than do art but anyways I just think it's so sad because once they get to Middle School you just don't have a whole lot of stuff that they're doing that they're bringing home and that you get to look at and keep a lot of the stuff is on the computer or test or if they're doing projects usually it's some sort of group project that never comes back home I don't know so I was a little sad putting all this stuff away today but I actually didn't even pull out their keepsake boxes to put all that stuff away today I was running out of time so I took all that stuff upstairs and I will put that stuff away in next week's video and I'll show you guys their keepsake boxes how I have the file folders but I'm sure that you guys have probably seen them before um I've shared them on my channel but they're all over Pinterest and I feel like everybody does them now but I love the idea I love how at the end of it I can go through and we can you know make a scrapbook out of all the things that we saved for them and maybe they'll want to keep them one day I don't know we'll see okay so I'm getting my comforter in the washing machine and this is the one that's going to take forever so not for for ever to wash but forever to dry usually have to do it on two drying cycles and then I had some laundry that needed to be folded so I'm going to watch Bridgerton season what is this season 3 while I fold my laundry and I did finish they only put out four episodes I think they only did half of them right now and then the other half come out later in June but I did finish all four of them and if you are a Bridgton F fan let me know in the comments I know I'm always talking about how I feel like I don't ever have any shows to watch besides the challenge and so Bridgton I was really excited when the new season came out I wish that they would have just put the whole season out at once though I don't understand why they did it in like two sessions doesn't make sense to me but I am excited to watch the rest of the season when it comes out I feel like it was kind of predictable so far but I'm interested to see what happens in the rest of the season y'all let me know if you watch Bridgerton 2 and what you thought of this season so [Music] far I've been miss to many of my days now you just my make out me cuz you look so pretty in the sunrise and somehow now everything is all right [Music] I feel like every word is so translucent so I won you tell me how you do it now I'm high but the birds in the room surrounded by people I couldn't care [Music] okay my bedding is all done while everything except for the pillow shams that are the same texture as my comforter I guess they got caught up in my comforter and weren't drying so I'm going to go ahead and put all the sheets and the comforter on and everything the pillows on my bed but I ended up having to throw those Shams back into the dryer so I just decided we don't usually sleep with the big pillows anyways so I'm just going to put that back on the next day day after they're dry um and since we're getting ready to go to bed I'm not going to put the rest of the pillows on there but we do have clean bedding it's always like my favorite day of the week when I get to get in the bed to fresh clean cheets [Music] moment under street lights right next to the skyline we through [Music] yeah I've been so many of my days that you just my makeever I make this you look so pretty in the sunrise andow now everything is all right [Music] everything is all right with you street lights right next to the skyline with [Music] you yeah I've been many of my okay so now I'm going to put together our summer bucket list and I actually had the kids sit down with me and we wrote down a whole list of all the bucket list items that we wanted to get done this summer and then I'm just going to make this little poster board and I'm going to write down all the things that are on the bucket list onto our poster board and I'm using these Mr Sketch markers if you're a teacher you know but these are like the best markers ever and they're scented and they smell really good and I still have this particular set of markers from when I was a teacher over 7even years ago but I do put these away and Gracie June is not allowed to use these markers these are my markers but I am just like I said I'm going to put their bucket list items on here and I decided to just do them in a bunch of different colors just to make it fun but what I decided to do differently this year is I have this little printer it's like an instant printer that I can print pictures from my phone and they're little mini pictures so um I don't know like 2 and 1/2 by 3 in or something and so I thought it would be fun to print out pictures from each of the bucket list items and put them on the poster board so as we're going throughout the summer we can put the pictures on there and see all the fun things that we've done throughout the summer and then at the end of the summer I can just take all the pictures off and put them either in a little album or save them and we can put them in a scrapbook or something like that so as I'm making this I figured I would let you guys know what all is on our summer bucket list so both of our kids have birthdays so I did put K's 13th birthday and Gracie jun's 11th birthday on there we have Gracie June has cheer choreography a cheer swim pool or Swim party I put pool days Church camp a game night Beach days a Braves game which we actually went to a Braves game right before school got out so it was the weekend before but we're thinking about going to another one so we'll see but I already printed some pictures that I used some of the pictures from that and Universal because we also kicked off our summer with a trip to Universal so I'm going to print some of those pictures in a second and put those on there we also want to do a an outdoor movie night um we've got some baseball tournaments coming up we've already had a couple but we have some more for the summer and then going to the water park um we actually have a baseball tournament in Asheville so I put Asheville as one of them because we're going to stay a few extra days and do some things while we're there I told y all that in last week's video but this is the printer that I have and it's so easy to use I just go through it's connected through Bluetooth I go through pick whatever picture I wanted to print and it prints it out right then and I just have the regular printer paper but I think you can also get the sticker printer paper so if I wanted to I could have printed it out on sticker paper and just stuck it right onto the poster board but I'm just using the regular printer paper that it came with and I'm just going to put a little piece of tape on the back of it so that it sticks to the poster board and then like I said after the Summer's over we'll take them off the posterboard and save them in a little album or I might just give the kids the pictures and they can display them in their room or something and yes we do have a very very packed summer lots of fun stuff going on but like I said the kids are still in sports and have practices and things so we're working around all of that stuff too but this is what I love about summer I love getting to do all these fun things and just getting to make memories and so I just thought this was a fun way to look back over our summer and see what all we did but I'll be sure to link this little printer down in the comments in case you guys want to check it out and if you guys do a summer bucket list I would love to hear what's on your bucket list we're probably going to be adding to ours over the summer or if we do any fun things but um maybe you guys have some fun ideas too all right so that is going to be it for today's video I hope you guys enjoyed hanging out with me and hopefully you got motivated to get some things done on your to-do list today as well I hope you have a wonderful week and I will see you next week on Monday for a brand new video bye I've been missing so many of my days now you just my makeup believe I to make you look soy in the sunrise somehow now everything is all [Music] [Applause] [Music] right everything is all right
