hi tim and jen, the party colors usually symbolize single, taken and complicated. they don’t charge for high school parties that’s usually college frats or just regular college parties. 11:45
Hi Jen! I didn't know about the sound bath experience that was explained, but it did remind me that last month I had extreme nausea from a condition I have, and out of desperation I found these anti-nausea sound videos on RUclips that had sounds like this and also rain sounds and all sorts, and it surprisingly helped! I don't doubt the salt/sound bath would be amazing!
I have to say, when the lady was describing the sound bath, i was sceptical, but even through the video, I could feel the resonance in my body. I think I would love this experience in real life!
I was skeptical at first too, but then when she saturated the sounds, I literally felt a huge drop of anxiety and felt so relaxed. That was just for a few minutes from the clip. I can only imagine what a whole session would be like. That was amazing. Thank you for sharing your experience with us Jenn. It’s been a hard year for us. We lost two very important members of our family and I never knew about this and now I want to try it out myself.
After you wipe down the pail, sprinkle a few drops of an essential oil in the bottom of the pail and in the top around the bag opening, helps a lot , and a sprinkle baking soda to help absorb too!
For diapers, we used plastic bags to wrap each one and threw it in to the regular trash can, and we never had smells. We used our plastic grocery bags we had from shopping or the ones that are sold in the baby area at stores.
Great to see you all. I can't believe how much the kids are growing. Only seems like yesterday, that you told everyone that you were pregnant, Jenn, with Jackson..😊😊
2024 marks ten years of Tracker vlogs for me. My mind is blown. You are still as entertaining as ever. I learn things too. I had no idea what a sound bath was.. but it seems very relaxing. 😊
for the diaper trash, try dumping 1 or 2 scented dry sheets inside, not in the trash bag but in the can itself. (not sure how it looks) on our regular trash we do that it keeps it somewhat fresh.
I've been married to my husb for 22 years - I sing every day, loud with headphones on, while I clean or work or whatever. I have NEVER heard him sing, not once. It drives me crazy!!!
You need to add baking soda in the bottom of your diaper pails. The soda is designed to absorb the smells. But you need to clean the pails first. Then change the soda each week. It works like a charm.
For the smell of the diaper pail try dryer sheets. I would put one to push the diaper down and then I laid one over the hole to block the smell and it helped a lot.
I have a 3 year old, with another baby on the way in June. I've never owned a diaper genie, just used a normal garbage bin with scented bags. The key is change out the bin every day, but make sure any poopie diapers get bagged up separately and thrown out into your outdoor garbage. I would honestly just get rid of the diaper genie and use a garbage can with a lid, preferably one that has a foot lever so you don't need to open it with your hands. Hope this helps!
Hey Jen, We didn't use a diaper genie. We would wrap up the stinky diaper in a couple shopping bags and take it right out to the trash. If I were you and you still wanted to use the diaper genie, I'd just use it for the wet diapers instead. Hopefully that will help!
Toddler teacher for 13 years here! I would spray down the trash cans and set them outside in the sun ☀️ during nap about once a week weather permitting. It really does help. The sunnier/hotter the better but do it whenever you can. It’ll help.
I worked at a preschool, in the two year old room, and we would individually bag all poop diapers and wipes. We also put a Febreze Small Spaces Air Freshener at the bottom of the trash can under the bag. It helped immensely with the smell!
Honestly i watch my neice and nephew every week and we just use grocery bags, put the poopy diaper in along with the wipes, then throw it into the garage. At the end of the day we just take all of them out to the garbage can. Nothing extra to clean and it's reusing our grocery bags. Plus no smell in the house Also, love Jackson's heart shirt. Especially the wheelchair user heart. I am disabled and find that adorable. My neice would love that! We found her a wheelchair user Kelly doll and she loves that toy along with her stuffed service dog that looks like my actual service dog
I used to put all the poop diapers in scented baby disposal bags and tossed them into our regular garbage that was going out at the end of each night. Diaper genies ( just my opinion) aren’t sanitary no matter how much you clean them and there’s always an odor. I know people love them which is a personal preference, I just didn’t care it and so much less work not having to clean it out.
I’ve been watching a RUclipsr who organizes and they suggested just declutter one drawer or cabinet at a time. Because pulling everything out is overwhelming and harder when you have kids. But if you do 1 or two a day it will be decluttered in a short amount of time (especially compared to how long it takes if you wait until you have time.) Hope that helps.
Hi Jen, I did my first sound bath about 8 years ago. If nothing else, it was the first time my mind chilled. My adhd was fed and satiated. It was like it took all the different threads of thought and wove them into one thread. It left me feeling recharged and rested. I know what you mean about your description. I understand that analogy.
The question about the diaper trash can. You can use white vinegar to remove the smell. After it drys put a box of baking soda in the bottom (like you use in the fridge).
Jen.... for apple sauce all you need to do chop your apples (just do a couple) put in sauce pan with a little water heat slowly to the consistency you want. Hear in England with have this with roast pork but i can't see why you can't eat it like is... no additives just fresh apples 😊
Diaper pail, we put stinky diapers in dog bags before putting them in the pail to help reduce the smell or we take them right out and just use the pail for wet diapers.
Time really flies--it seems like Jackson was a little buddy about to start walking last week--and now Oliver's here, and Jackson has grown so much! I've found that Dana K. White's No Mess Decluttering method (she's on RUclips) works really well for me--because even if you have a short time to work or get interrupted, you just follow the process and work on one area at a time, instead of pulling everything out all at once. I've had a stressful.....last 6 weeks or so--and hearing all the cool sound bath instruments was so relaxing. Also, being so far from the beach, and having not been since 2018, I think I need to visit a salt room soon.......
Jen applesauce is so delicious homemade. Peel and chop apples put in a pan with a splash of water and cinnamon sticks. You want to soften them adding water if necessary. When soft mash them (the meat masher works great). You mash to your consistency we like it chunky. You can add cinnamon if you like. If you would like it a bit sweeter add some brown sugar. This is the most delicious and easy treat the boys will devour it.
Juat the sounds you recorded, Jen, did amazing things for my anxiety. Apparently it's a thing that sound therapy is really good for those of us with ADHD and anxiety. That crystal triangle gave me amazing tingles!!!
I am glad that the woman who did the sound bath explanation did not focus too hard on healing. Healing is directly connected biologically to stress levels. Sounds are known to lower these stress levels and take our mind off of the things keeping us tense. But the sounds do not do anything directly to heal us. Too often practitioners who do this try to make wild magical claims about this process. It for sure relaxes you, does amazing things for your mind, etc. This is a good thing to go do. We live in a loud, bustling, and stressful world. I encourage you Jen to get Bose QC headphones (they are pricey but worth it) and find a room in your home to take some time away for an hour. There are thousands of videos that will play these sounds in good definition. It is important to do it a few times a week if you can. Stress will mute itself in your body and you wont notice the tension. But it will impact your health eventually. Also side note have you guys noticed the low grinding sound when you talk on the couch? I thought for the longest time it was my computer lol.
I heard kitty litter in the diaper pail can help lessen the odor? I works for my cat’s poo so I imagine it would work? I would get the dustless scentless kind so you don’t end up with a different mess.
We actually always make out apples sauce with some of the skins still on! You just have to make sure that you cook it long enough and blend well when you are done. I wonder if the variety of apples also has an effect on whether the peels cook down well? It gives the sauce a beautiful color, and it keeps some of the extra nutrients from the peel.
In the Movie The Last Holiday, Queen Latifah has a spa day that included the masseuse using the metal bowls, and she also hits Queen with the leaves, and she hits her back. Then the masseuse says “ I do it with love”, and taps her lightly with the leaves😂😂!!
Yes the Valentine’s Day party was probably color coded so that guests could be wearing a color according to their relationship status. Like red is taken, white is single, and pink it’s complicated/no commitment but still want some fun lol
Didn’t use a diaper trashcan for that reason . Used to tie them up in grocery bags, throw in the regular trashcan. We empty our trashcan like every other day .
Loved the vlog, ❤ the kids are super duper adorable, including Tim. I love sound baths, they allow me to process things going on in my life that really need processing, & force me to meditate which is usually MUCH needed.
Sprinkle some Arm & Hammer carpet odor eliminator (with baking soda) in the bottom of the diaper garbage can. Then put the trash bags on top of it. It will be a little "powdery" when you take the bag out, but it won't stink.
I have twins so I had double diaper duty. I would make a paste out of water and baking soda, rub it in the inside, let it dry, and that helped with the smell. Then I'd use little baking soda puck deodorizing things. Eventually got smelly again, but just doing that regularly helped a lot.
After way too many gag sessions taking out those diaper trash bags we got the sassy individual diaper trash bags (Amazon) and we take them out to the trash can outside. It’s an extra step but we never deal with poop smell that way.
Baking soda on the bottom of the can before you put the bag in and some in the bottom of the bag is my go to! It works for my cats but no idea if it would work for a diaper can!
I’m a nanny and we’ve always had the ubbi diaper pail and we put the arm and hammer sticky air fresheners in the bottom of the cans and it worked decently well!
I never used a diaper trash can...gotta be honest...I wasn't aware that was a thing. I just walked the poop diapers to the outside trash can each time. My kids aren't diaper aged anymore but when they were, that's what we did. Lol.
After 16 babies (as a foster parent) the easiest thing we did was two steps: 1. Dump the poop in the toilet if you can 2. Empty in regular trash There is no way to get around the smell!! Get rid of it and keep all trash together. You empty the regular trash more often so you get rid of it more. I would love to see you reorganize your kitchen!! Please do this as a vlog. I am moving into a renovated kitchen and I just said “I will never fill all these cabinets!”
I am always breaking into a song. In fact I wake up a lot of times with songs in my head. It apparently means that you have a task that you need to do or one that you haven't done. Does Tim have any plans for his birthday?
I tried sound healing once. We were all in hammocks. Because it was new to me I had a hard time relaxing. I kept wanting to look at what they were doing. Our hammocks were attached to the ceiling so they would sway and turn slightly but it felt like they were swinging waaaay more than they actually were (we had eye masks on). Now that I know what to expect I would like to try it again. I’m glad you got the chance to try it Jen.
In New Zealand and Australia we have a brand called Tommee Tippy. They have bins where you twist the bag and enclose the smell. My sister has one and it’s really good. We use reusables so we don’t need it but would so use it if I did. The smell is reduced massively. Otherwise you could find some compostable nappy bags, we sell them at my local supermarket for $1, the key is to double bag. I work at a nursery so I know to double bags does really help.
I used disposable diapers with my first 2 kids, and cloth diapers with my 3rd. They both had advantages/disadvantages. But I never left dirty diapers in the house (unless it was just urine during the sleepless, struggling stage - which I know you're going through now). I never owned a Diaper Genie, or something like that. Just do yourself a favor and have a diaper bin in the garage for poopy diapers! lol
Jenn, try Ozium spray to reduce the stink of Oliver's diaper pail. I take some on the cruise ship since some of the cabin bathrooms dont have exhaust fans, and it works so well.
I put a Munchkin Arm and Hammer Nursery Freshener (basically baking soda tablets) on the bottom of the diaper pail and stuck one on the inside of the lid to absorb the smell.
I’m so glad you went to a sound bath👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 my husband & I are Sound Healing practitioners. It’s a wonderful way to connect more deeply with your emotional & physical bodies. Do make sure you drink plenty of water and eat more cleanly after as it helps your body to detoxify in a more gentle way. We’re in Orange County, CA so reach out next time you’re in So Cal! 💚
I don’t know if this is what the kids were talking about but I have seen color parties recently where whatever color you wear, you bring a basket of snacks to match your color. For example, if you are wearing blue you could bring cool ranch Doritos. Maybe they were supposed to bring $30 in snacks?
Up at 2 am doing a feeding for our newborn. Thanks for the middle of the night upload to entertain and keep me awake, Jen. 😂 I went to a friend's cabin one time where someone had what they called a "singing bowl" and we took turns sort of running a pestel around the rim of it and it made this satisfying low humming sound and vibrated. It was very relaxing and a neat experience!
I have been to a sound class at a yoga studio before and loved it. When I do yoga I will put on Liquid Mind music which has a lot of those sounds in it. And she is right your mind instantly wants to go into a meditative state. So glad you enjoyed yourself!!
I used odo-ban in my daughter's diaper trash can, just sprayed it down and let it air dry before putting a new bag in. I also put all the "stinky" diapers and wipes in a diaper disposal bag before throwing away.
We have the munchkin diaper trash bin and it’s pretty good. Wr also have three cats with litter genies for their litter. I keep baking soda by all the trash bins to sprinkle a decent amount to help with smell
For your diaper smelling problem, we just throw the poops out immediately in a grocery bag to your outside trashcan. We have a regular garbage can with a lid that we only put urine diapers and there is zero smell. Like you said they all sink and I’m not spending 90+ dollars on a garbage that doesn’t contain the smell.
Imagine if you stepped on a Hot Wheels but there was a banana peel under it 😯😮Also, when Jen told Jackson there was a Lego Lamborghini at Legoland you could literally watch his mind be blown.
We have a salt bath done before, we have a brand new spa open about a year ago in the Souetheastern Indiana area. Similar like the one you have down there.
Tim just found out he’s the theater kid of his friend group.
Lol spot on
So true haha!!
To me, Tim's always been Marshall Erikson. 😊
As a former theater kid, this comment absolutely took me out 😂
Friend group??? You mean family group. No friends needed
hi tim and jen, the party colors usually symbolize single, taken and complicated. they don’t charge for high school parties that’s usually college frats or just regular college parties. 11:45
I have two boys aged 8 and 4 and I can confirm that they are best friends and watching them play together makes my heart so happy. ❤
LOL TIM IN HIS RAIN JACKET!

So funny how Oliver went a entire different direction with the race😂 love the home vlogs

I was just going say this thanks for posting

For the diaper trashcan, using the scrubbing bubbles fresh gel stamps for inside the can and the frebreze small spaces heavy duty air freshener
Smart
for the diaper trash, try dumping 1 or 2 scented dry sheets inside, not in the trash bag but in the can itself. (not sure how it looks) on our regular trash we do that it keeps it somewhat fresh.
LOL TIM STEPPED ON A HOT WHEELS!
Red May be single, white taken and pink is give it a shot. We used to have traffic light parties when I was uni but it was red, orange or green.
Was thinking the same thing (single, looking, taken) but my reasoning was movies, I didn’t go to parties 😂
I'm thinking slightly more salacious..red means they are looking for a full hookup..white is just here to party and pink somewhere in the middle
I've been married to my husb for 22 years - I sing every day, loud with headphones on, while I clean or work or whatever. I have NEVER heard him sing, not once. It drives me crazy!!!
can’t wait to watch this!!💗 also, can we just appreciate how often jenn and tim post for their subscribers!!🫶🏻🫶🏻
You need to add baking soda in the bottom of your diaper pails. The soda is designed to absorb the smells. But you need to clean the pails first. Then change the soda each week. It works like a charm.
For the smell of the diaper pail try dryer sheets. I would put one to push the diaper down and then I laid one over the hole to block the smell and it helped a lot.
I love you guys!! You upload at the perfect time when I get off work and it’s part of my unwind routine ❤️

From personal experience 4 years is such a beautiful age gap for siblings, they are going to be the bestest friends for life 🥹🥹

I love sound baths!! So relaxing & aura clearing. ❤
I like the sound bath. I want to try it sometime. Thanks for sharing that with us.
listen to the sound bath bit with headphones guys - it's awesome
Vinegar and baking soda either try together or separate and sprinkle baking soda in there to stay
Hi Jen, I did my first sound bath about 8 years ago. If nothing else, it was the first time my mind chilled. My adhd was fed and satiated. It was like it took all the different threads of thought and wove them into one thread. It left me feeling recharged and rested. I know what you mean about your description. I understand that analogy.
I once stepped on a hot wheel and almost did a split. Hurt real bad 😅
That would be worse than a banana peel kneel
The question about the diaper trash can. You can use white vinegar to remove the smell. After it drys put a box of baking soda in the bottom (like you use in the fridge).
Jen.... for apple sauce all you need to do chop your apples (just do a couple) put in sauce pan with a little water heat slowly to the consistency you want. Hear in England with have this with roast pork but i can't see why you can't eat it like is... no additives just fresh apples 😊

I encourage you Jen to get Bose QC headphones (they are pricey but worth it) and find a room in your home to take some time away for an hour. There are thousands of videos that will play these sounds in good definition. It is important to do it a few times a week if you can. Stress will mute itself in your body and you wont notice the tension. But it will impact your health eventually.
Also side note have you guys noticed the low grinding sound when you talk on the couch? I thought for the longest time it was my computer lol.
wow just that little demo of the sound bath, made me feel more at ease and calmer
Jenn I still add the word “vibes” too 😂 sounds so weird to me without it
I heard kitty litter in the diaper pail can help lessen the odor? I works for my cat’s poo so I imagine it would work? I would get the dustless scentless kind so you don’t end up with a different mess.
We actually always make out apples sauce with some of the skins still on! You just have to make sure that you cook it long enough and blend well when you are done.

You could try a febreeze small space at the bottom of the can. I worked at a daycare so I know the smell can be fatal lol
Fresh wave - that is how you get rid of the smell. You can stick the packets on top and change them out every 30 days
You can put baking soda in the diaper pail

Does Tim have any plans for his birthday?
Oh watching Jackson reminds me of my oldest now 21. When he was lil it was all about hot wheels! Enjoy every moment it goes so fast!
Hiya 🤗 it is sweet for them to be playing together. The sound bath sounds really relaxing 🩷 xxx
Tim, acupuncture is amazing. I use it for pain relief. As soon as the first needle goes in I fall into the most relaxed sleep for half an hour
I tried sound healing once. We were all in hammocks. Because it was new to me I had a hard time relaxing. I kept wanting to look at what they were doing.

I use to put lavender sachets at the bottom of the trash can or damper genie .
The children are getting so big. Can’t wait to celebrate Oliver’s first birthday.
You could try putting tea tree oil, lemongrass or eucalyptus essential oil drops in the bottom of the diaper Genie ❤
I used disposable diapers with my first 2 kids, and cloth diapers with my 3rd. They both had advantages/disadvantages.

Loved seeing the boys playing. It's so cute
Arm and hammer pet. Just sprinkle in the bottom and occasionally through the week. It Helps for the diaper genie
Have you tried putting some baking soda in the diaper can
I put a Munchkin Arm and Hammer Nursery Freshener (basically baking soda tablets) on the bottom of the diaper pail and stuck one on the inside of the lid to absorb the smell.
I use scented garbage bags at work. It definitely helps
I’m so glad you went to a sound bath👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 my husband & I are Sound Healing practitioners. It’s a wonderful way to connect more deeply with your emotional & physical bodies. Do make sure you drink plenty of water and eat more cleanly after as it helps your body to detoxify in a more gentle way. We’re in Orange County, CA so reach out next time you’re in So Cal! 💚
Home vlog!!
I don’t know if this is what the kids were talking about but I have seen color parties recently where whatever color you wear, you bring a basket of snacks to match your color. For example, if you are wearing blue you could bring cool ranch Doritos. Maybe they were supposed to bring $30 in snacks?
Hey...a hack to help with the diaper "genie" smell...put each diaper in a doggie poopie bag (twisted and tied) should lock in smell.
1- cant wait for the day yall go back to California, 2- the race between Oliver and Jackson was too funny, 3- Jackson's dancing is the best 😂😂
Up at 2 am doing a feeding for our newborn. Thanks for the middle of the night upload to entertain and keep me awake, Jen. 😂 I went to a friend's cabin one time where someone had what they called a "singing bowl" and we took turns sort of running a pestel around the rim of it and it made this satisfying low humming sound and vibrated. It was very relaxing and a neat experience!
I have been to a sound class at a yoga studio before and loved it. When I do yoga I will put on Liquid Mind music which has a lot of those sounds in it. And she is right your mind instantly wants to go into a meditative state. So glad you enjoyed yourself!!
I used odo-ban in my daughter's diaper trash can, just sprayed it down and let it air dry before putting a new bag in. I also put all the "stinky" diapers and wipes in a diaper disposal bag before throwing away.
We have the munchkin diaper trash bin and it’s pretty good. Wr also have three cats with litter genies for their litter. I keep baking soda by all the trash bins to sprinkle a decent amount to help with smell
Jen keeps the streak alive! Love you guys perfect timed video for bed ❤😅
Ok I remember using those diaper pail deodorants in mine. They are for diaper pails. It takes the smell out😊
For your diaper smelling problem, we just throw the poops out immediately in a grocery bag to your outside trashcan. We have a regular garbage can with a lid that we only put urine diapers and there is zero smell. Like you said they all sink and I’m not spending 90+ dollars on a garbage that doesn’t contain the smell.
I sing in my house but not well and if that’s not bad enough I whistle too! Just for fun!!😂
Would love to see a kitchen organize video and tour of the before and after!
Tim Tracker did your rain coat have a built in hat with brim?
Imagine if you stepped on a Hot Wheels but there was a banana peel under it 😯😮Also, when Jen told Jackson there was a Lego Lamborghini at Legoland you could literally watch his mind be blown.
I love a salt cave and sound bath, super relaxing 🧘♀️
Ooh ouch hope your foots OK now Tim! Lovely to see them start to play together so cute ❤
I can not wait to see Oliver take his first steps!!
28:04 Oliver is definitely Tim’s twin and Jackson is Jen’s twin!!!! I love these little babies ❤❤😊
I tried this when I worked in a hospice the patients and the staff loved it, I had an out of body experience too❤
Watching the boys race was very cute.
We have a salt bath done before, we have a brand new spa open about a year ago in the Souetheastern Indiana area. Similar like the one you have down there.
