Love your videos! A quick tip...when refilling any dry ingredients, put what is left in your container in a baggie before refilling. Otherwise the old stuff may not be used if you keep refilling. I use what is in the baggie first so your container is always fresh.
Nice video. Really enjoyed it. ♥️ One thing I have to say as far as the parents keeping kids entertained all summer. Ohh my gosh. We had to make our own fun! Make up our own games, ride our bikes, made our own kid clubs. We always used our own imagination. Our parents always said ,that if you’re bored ….it’s your own fault. There’s always something fun to do. Use your imagination. Those were the good ole fun days.
Hi Lauren ! You have to get the scrub daddy barbecue brush instead of using the bbq brush with the wires ! Also if you add some orange juice to your carne asada marinade you won’t regret it!
My niece ate a burger that had a wire from the wire brush that people use to clean their grills in it. Somehow it wasn't detected until it got stuck in her throat. Very scary situation but the hospital took care of it.
Great video!!! Our kids are in camp daily and then do jujitsu 3x/week so they have a pretty organized day. On weekends, it’s simple - play outside , pool , church on Sunday😊
God bless Lauren, and her busy organized schedule. I am so excited, about this Summer, for I need to take my grandchildren to camp, when their parents can’t. Today, my grandson, who is 8, started his first day at camp. I took him, and it was fun, and his siblings r younger, and they will start camp tomorrow. I had fun, visiting with the younger ones today. I am concentrating on instilling good lessons within them, and started this game, of earning points, for good deeds, good listening, cooperation etc. all you do is beautiful, and thanks for sharing, I could smell your delicious cooking. 😘👍🙏❤️🌻🌹🌟✨💫🌺✝️
You are truly one of the most organized persons🎉 and it is so inspiring and helpful to see how you utilize your organizers. Thank you so much for your generosity in making them available.
All my kiddos are grown now but when they were young, I didn’t really schedule during the summer. If the weather was rainy, we might go to the movies or an indoor play place but otherwise it was kind of play it by ear. The school year was so scheduled & busy it was kind of fun to just do thing’s at will. Plus sometimes 1 kid might have someone sleep over and another might have someone come over to swim during the day. Or one might go somewhere w/ a friend. And I would just do my thing (laundry, cleaning, cooking while they were playing or crafting or watching tv. Obviously swimming was not me thing that I really needed to be right there for so I would do laundry earlier or later. It was also the time that I actually made them more responsible. If they pulled out craft supplies, they had to put them away. Same w/ toys or pool things. Since they were on break, they had more time to complete chores rather then me doing as much. The corn & tacos looked amazing!!!
I have little ones, but my biggest tip for getting stuff done but also being present for them as a SAHM is to put the house back together after they go to sleep. I used to try to put everything away during dinner and make up their bottles and I realized I wasn’t being present enough. So now I eat dinner with them and lay them down for bed, then I go downstairs to load up the dishwasher/take out the trash/put away toys/pack my husband’s lunch/etc 💕 I love to come down to a clean house each morning, but being present with my children is a priority!
It must be a regional thing. We call anything on the grill “grilling”, and the only thing that is barbecue is meat with actual barbecue sauce on it - bbq ribs, bbq pork, etc. Always interesting like the the coke vs pop vs soda vs soft drink debate! 😂
Hi Lauren, I’m new to your channel weirdest thing is that my hubby and I have been talking about getting a few chickens and garden going ourselves. How do you keep flies out of chicken coop?
Hi and thanks for discount on Marlo pillow. I can only Hope to love it. So much unnecessary money spent to find one, and still haven't, after All these years! Nice raised garden beds, Lauren! Get some rain, and they'll practically double in size! I know mine do 😊❤
HAPPY Monday Lauren, family, and fur babies. That pillow looks like it will be amazing. We are grandparent's so we give our two grandbabies season passes in the Summer to Idlewild Park. We go to Kennywood Amusement Park. Pap Pap takes them fishing to a lake. BBQs at our home, not to mention our 8 yr old granddaughter does dance competitions; and in the Summer her parent's put keep her in dance to stay fresh on everything from June to July; zoo trips, Swimming. LAUREN YOUR CAMERA IS ON POINT; GOLLY GEE LOOKS LIKE A PROFESSIONAL MOVIE GOING ON...MY GIRL...STTB 2XS
Lauren, you need to update the photos at the beginning of every video! Lol! Maybe some new chicken coop, the pool, your front yard decorating shenanigans...how you have been decorating your new home! I know it is a lot of work...we appreciate all your hard work in filming, editing, finding content...and life! Also, lay down parchment on your baking tray prior to putting bacon on it...oven safe - and makes clean up a lot easier!
Tip for cleaning grill that is safer for your family… we use onions always have to clean grill. I’ve heard potatoes work too, but haven’t. My picky eater loves the skirt steak aka arrachera marinated because meat is so tender. Use citrus juices pineapple orange lemon with your favorite spices and lots of garlic or just buy Goya’s Criollo Mojo.
Lauren what is the pillow u recommend for side sleepers that cut down on wrinkles. I am 62 and have noticed wrinkles on my left side. Love your channel. ❤ Thank you
I owned a daycare for several years. I enjoyed planning theme days for Summer. I also tried to plan field trips and a school work type activity using the field trip experience as my subject.
Thankyou! I like to think I’m organised and enthusiastic for my daughter, but you have some excellent ideas to make sure they happen as planned. Also stretches your anticipation to really enjoy the experiences you plan. Lots of effort go into creating moments to make memories, but unless you slow down to walk through them, they’ll zip right by. Being present is a practice. You are an inspiring woman.
Hi Lauren my children r all grown, however I love watching u work out all the things. U r simply spectacular and that dinner had my mouth watering sooo yummy. I kept my children busy all summer lots of trips to the lakes, parks and libraries.💕🕶
As CA transports to the Midwest we LOVE how grilling enhances the flavor foods! Our neighbors sort of scratch their heads when we are out there in bad weather- still grilling! 😅
Also, be careful when you’re handling raw meat. You were handling the raw meat and then touching the herb bottles and covers. That damn contaminated all of the bottles and your counters.
Amiga!!!! Those tacos looked amazing!!!! Makes me want to BBQ, sadly I have no grill. If this is the beginning of summer with you, we are all in for a real fun and delicious summer!!! 👍🏻👏🏻
Hola Lauren, hace un tiempo te sigo y me gustan mucho tus videos, vivo en ciudad de México y me encanta ver cuando cocinas comida mexicana, solo que en ocasiones me quedo pensando si los sabores son muy intensos y picosos. En México los esquites solo llevan limón, mayonesa, queso fresco y chile en polvo y son deliciosos. También te quiero sugerir que adicionalmente a tus condimentos pongas cerveza para marinar la carne asada, te aseguro que no hará daño a los niños y quedará deliciosa!
