Penelope is going to love her Christmas presents, so fun! I got a kick out of watching you with the toys, I think you loved them too! You did an excellent job with her gifts🙂
Maybe give Penelope 4 of the miniature dolls at a time. Give her another four for Valentines and another 4 for Easter. She will be overwhelmed if she gets too much. And I am sure Grandma's going to spoil her too! ❤
I know the feeling I want to get my 2 1/2 year old girl everything but obviously I can’t and I keep seeing stuff I want to get it’s so hard. Omg those little dolls are so sweet my daughter would love them.
It’s SO hard not to go overboard at Christmas… one of my love languages is gift giving so… my kids tend to get hooked up at Christmas. I don’t really buy them random things throughout the year tho, so that’s how I justify it. 😂 And we always make sure to get gifts for like a giving tree or something like that. They also love to give! Love what you got for your sweet girl!
As far as the kitchen goes Dollar general (i dont know if you have one) has separate kitchen pieces, like a griddle, microwave, that are great for small spaces.
I know the feeling I want to get my 2 1/2 year old girl everything but obviously I can’t and I keep seeing stuff I want to get it’s so hard. Omg those little dolls are so sweet my daughter would love them. My mother in law is getting my daughter an ikea play kitchen we are super excited. We also have a small place but we want to make the room for it. The big gift from us is an Amazon kids tablet and from Santa is a Disney doll that we saw at Costco. Dollarama had kids spin brushes with Disney princesses and even Mickey I believe that would be a great stocking stuffer
When I had a new baby, I would have a gift at the hospital to give to my other children when they would come to visit, and meet the new sibling. It was a gift from the new baby. You could maybe give Penelope a nice baby doll then, so she can take care of her new baby, while you are taking care of the new little one. 💕
So many cute Christmas gifts for Penelope! Hope you get the play kitchen for her! Nice that there are free things on Marketplace! Hope you and Penelope have an amazing, beautiful
Baby Alive and Baby Born dolls are around $20 and realistic enough for toddlers. She's definitely going to need one when her sister arrives. Maybe it can be a present for her when she's born so she doesn't feel left out and can understand the change with her own baby that she can take care of.
I think you did a great job, she will love everything. Don't get too much more, like someone else said she will be overwhelmed and don't forget every year as they get older you have to get bigger and bigger making it more stressful.
I got the Miss Rachel doll for my granddaughter. I made sure it was a real one, not sold by a third party. It's a shame there were so many fake dolls out there. I'm going to try to order those little baby dolls. They are adorable! Penelope is going to have great Christmas! You are a great Mom!
You have so nice little home ,that are so cozy. Love the doll you buy to Penelope ❤️ My children are old now so I dont now was are popularitet now but Ms Rachel seen to were a good movie for children. When my youngest was little was Dora popular for children. When are you due date? ❤️ Love your channel. Sorry for my English,I am from Sweden.
So I signed my kids up for toys for tots. I'm not sure if you've heard of it, but they help you by giving you gifts for your children. I was able to buy my daughter, who is 7, a bicycle, and my son, a magic drawing board he is 2. ❤💙❤
This is a program for families in dire circumstances. The children in these families would not get a single gift if it weren’t for the program, which is why I donate. Families who know their children will be getting gifts should not apply.
@judithscharf4873 which is why I said if I didn't truly need the help, then I wouldn't have applied for my children. This is the first year I've needed help, and I've donated to them before as well.
Really cute gifts!! My granddaughter just turned 8 and no longer wants babies or barbies but wants a playstation 4 game, some girlie clothes, etc. Did you get my Amazon gifts? Yes, my granddaughter does pay Barbies in the tub still. Love you!!
My daughter just got a play kitchen last Christmas at age 2, she plays with itevery single day. It is her favorite toy and she cooks for her " babies". ❤
@heyvanessamartin We found a cheaper one on Amazon last year. Some are ridiculous and hundreds of dollars. Ours was under 100 and it came with pots and pans. Amazon has so many!
If you could find a really big box, you could make a little house for her, cut out windows, a door, paint it , I made one for my son and he loved it so much, it was a box that a washing machine came in, just a thought, love those presents, take care
cute gifts . as kids get older the things get way more expensive . ugh we went to sam’s club to buy wrapping paper well 3 rolls later plus 400 dollars on odds and ends of things we need for the holidays . ugh everything is so high .
@heyvanessamartin plus they buy your kids clothes and toys. We did that for years. I go crazy in there but honestly your money goes along way especially when they have season end sales.
Now I have heard it all.. Dry begging hinting hoping someone will buy it for you. Giving people ideas disguised as gift ideas that you want for your daughter There are people that don’t have half as much as what you have that are hoping they can afford to give their children even one gift! You have your own apartment nice car . Family that can buy your daughter things and your still hinting at what you would like your subscribers to buy for her 🙄
No it was a video of you letting the viewers know how you want a kitchen for Penelope. And then telling us all the items you told your mom that you want for her hoping your viewers will buy it. So embarrassing. People see through that.
I think u r hinting around about way to get people send u stuff u r blessed apt car and u get gifts for your daughter so many people r homeless h7mgrey hungrey
@heyvanessamartin maybe 25K and just collect things from now until then. I'd say you have a majority of women, so maybe just 1 thing a month until you get there. 💎 💎 💎 You could do makeup gems, they get a lot, or if you see those new Stanley dupes they are getting. One time, I found a honey suckle candle there that smelled and burned so well. That was for sure a gem because their candles are usually lackluster! Again, just an idea. I saw you got over 9K. Congratulations, my friend! 👏👏👏
Definitely wrap them separately. At that age they love opening gifts. It will make opening last a few more minutes. Kids love surprises. I want these so badly for my little girl
Vanessa u did a great job in picking out gifts for Penelope! I loved everything u got her. I think she's gonna be over the moon happy when she opens them Christmas morning! 🥰🎄🧑🎄 I have a 4 yr old grangirl, & even she would love those gifts. Especially the princess shoes 😂. She's had some when she was a lot younger my mama got her. When she came to my house she wore them all the time.. So Penelope just might do the same thing at y'all's house, lol.
My granddaughter loves miss Rachel too. Her mom is getting her that so i got her potty training Elmo . She loves him too. Plus shes going through toilet training. She'll be 2 on the 13th .
At two years old, a child doesn't care of a toy is a knock off. The probability of the toy lasting until she's at the age when she turns into a name brand snob is highly unlikely. When you are on a budget a knock off can be a great thing unless of course it is selling for the sAme price.
Well when a female and a male get together, one thing leads to another and… lol I tried to make it work with the father of my girls during the time and we both were on the same page to try for another baby.
Little kids love small things that they can hold in their hands. It comforts them.
Cute gifts, Vanessa! I'm sure Penelope will love them. 💛
🥰🥰
Penelope is going to love her Christmas presents, so fun! I got a kick out of watching you with the toys, I think you loved them too! You did an excellent job with her gifts🙂
I love little kid toys!! They’re so cute and I love feeling nostalgic 🥰🥰🥰
You did great shopping on a budget. I’m proud of you for how you bought things with meaning and not just stuff.
Thank you!! 🥰🥰🥰
I just love your videos!! I really look forward to seeing new ones :)

V you look beautiful, you have a glow. Merry Christmas 🎅 🎄 ❤️ to you and Penelope
Aww thank you so much! Merry Christmas to you and your family too! ❤️🎄
She needs a little baby bed for those baby dolls. So cute. I love the dress up stuff. Adorable!
I agree! I love the baby doll nursery sets with the mini crib, swing, high chair 🥰🥰
You got her amazing gifts you look so pretty and happy
Thank you so much for saying that!! 🥰🥰🥰
Nice!!! I will be sending gifts soon!! Grandpa can’t wait to see lil miss Penelp in January ❤🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Love you both

That's a great point, I'll keep that in mind! 🥰🥰
I was thinking that too. ❤

As far as the kitchen goes Dollar general (i dont know if you have one) has separate kitchen pieces, like a griddle, microwave, that are great for small spaces.
We don’t have a Dollar General but will keep my eyes out for other liquidation type stores too! 😊

Thank you for posting, this is something interesting to see and get inspiration from as I too have a two year old girl. Love seeing the gift ideas.
I hope it helps you find some great gifts for your little one! 😊💕
@@heyvanessamartin I was also wondering, did Penelope win the competition? I truly hope so, last I checked she was in first place. :)
No we were so close though!
How fun!

Aww so adorable ❤❤❤❤

@@pattycorm My mom did exactly that with me. The " baby " brought me home a new baby doll.
My two-year old grandson loves Miss Rachel too.
She’s the best! 🥰

Baby Alive dolls are about $10 on Amazon in the US right now.
Love how bubbly you are
Awe thank you! 🥰🤗
I think you did a great job, she will love everything. Don't get too much more, like someone else said she will be overwhelmed and don't forget every year as they get older you have to get bigger and bigger making it more stressful.
I always set a number and end up getting an itsy bitsy bit more! 😅❤ Christmas is so fun when they are little though!
I love the animal babies!!! So cute! She will love those I think!
I say yes, wrap individually so she has more to open! They love opening gifts at that age I find!
Yes it’s so much fun when they’re little!!! 🥰🥰

@heyvanessamartin can't wait to see what I get for them! I wouldn't use it if I didn't have to, but this year has been ruff.
This is a program for families in dire circumstances. The children in these families would not get a single gift if it weren’t for the program, which is why I donate. Families who know their children will be getting gifts should not apply.
Toys for Tots also distributes gifts to children who will be spending the holidays (sometimes their last) in the hospital.

@heyvanessamartin Yay!!!! So excited!!!
Cannot find your registry on Amazon. How do we find oy
Here is the link (I have it in my video descriptions 😊): www.amazon.ca/baby-reg/vanessa-martin-january-2025-kamloops/3ODFZNTSMNDJH
thanks for your answer, i am from holland / the netherlands, love to see a house tour
I have an apartment tour posted on my channel but will do a room reveal once it’s all set up for the new born to arrive. 🥰
I think it sounds like you want people that view your channel to buy things for you constantly.....I'm sorry but it always sounds like a sob story!
I'm not sure why you'd think that? 😅 Honestly I have no idea why you think that. Interesting!
Omgosh, where can I get the little baby dolls for my granddaughter 💖
www.amazon.ca/gp/aw/d/B0DDHN93SQ?psc=1&ref=ppx_pop_mob_b_asin_title
A lil purse with a phone and fake makeup . My girls both loved that as toddlers
I just got her one for her 2nd birthday and she LOVES IT! 🩷🎀👛
I want to get my daughter the dog version of your cat one! Lol
Do it!! They’re so cute!! 🥰
@@heyvanessamartinI’ll have to,she saw a kid at church with one, and wouldn’t stop asking haha!
My daughter just got a play kitchen last Christmas at age 2, she plays with itevery single day. It is her favorite toy and she cooks for her " babies". ❤
So cute!!! I really want to find her one 🥰🥰
@heyvanessamartin We found a cheaper one on Amazon last year. Some are ridiculous and hundreds of dollars. Ours was under 100 and it came with pots and pans. Amazon has so many!
@@heyvanessamartincheck marketplace i got my sons off marketplace for 20 bucks he plays with it everyday
Yes I am constantly looking! 😀
fb marketplace always has the kitchen sets and alot are in really good condition ! @heyvanessamartin
12:56 we all guessed that
😻
If you could find a really big box, you could make a little house for her, cut out windows, a door, paint it , I made one for my son and he loved it so much, it was a box that a washing machine came in, just a thought, love those presents, take care
That's so cute! I'll have to try it! 🥰
Can you do an update? Did you end up deciding to file or not file child support for the second baby?
Yes I can do an update! ❤️
just my thought she def needs to file for child support it will help her alot
She does need to. She didn't make those kids by herself, he knew that going in.
@@catwarrior17lol, I see what you did there 😅
@@juliemanning-ix2yp omg🤪
cute gifts . as kids get older the things get way more expensive . ugh we went to sam’s club to buy wrapping paper well 3 rolls later plus 400 dollars on odds and ends of things we need for the holidays . ugh everything is so high .
I know it’s crazy!! ❤️
my 5 year old grand daughter wants a towel warmer 😂😂 it’s cause i have one and when she is here she gets hot towels coming out of her bath .
Now I want one 😋
What province are you in ? Do you have Once upon a child ? Theyre great for toys and clothes.
BC! Yes I agree I want to pop in there too but I am afraid I’ll not stop picking things out 😅
@heyvanessamartin plus they buy your kids clothes and toys. We did that for years. I go crazy in there but honestly your money goes along way especially when they have season end sales.
So true! I want to find more Groovy Girl Dolls there 😍
hello, vanessa
do you have a po box address? would it be okay to possibly send you guys a christmas gift?
⛄️
I don’t have a P.O. Box

Lovely

No
Get her a tricycle
I thought about that too! Thought I should wait until Spring time though.
Maybe you could do a cute inexpensive giveaway for 10k or 20k followers of a few gems you find at Dollar Tree! 💸 Just an idea! ❤
I love that idea! I’ll keep it in mind! 🥰🥰
@heyvanessamartin maybe 25K and just collect things from now until then.

If you give her to many of the same thing they lose there appeal
Definitely wrap them separately. At that age they love opening gifts. It will make opening last a few more minutes. Kids love surprises.
I want these so badly for my little girl
I will for sure! Will look so cute under the tree. 😍

@heyvanessamartin , oh yes she will be. I can't wait for a video with her walking around in them.😊
Give her a shoe box with a blankie shell play for hours. Those babies are so cute ! Toddlers love miniatures.
OH MY GOSH, she does this at my moms house with wash cloths lol
My granddaughter loves miss Rachel too. Her mom is getting her that so i got her potty training Elmo . She loves him too. Plus shes going through toilet training. She'll be 2 on the 13th .
Awee that’s so much fun!!! 🥰🥰
The shoes are not safe her age I know because I am a grandparent

Seriously not judging you but you were a single Mom with your daughter so how are you pregnant again & still single ? Genuine question
Well when a female and a male get together, one thing leads to another and… lol I tried to make it work with the father of my girls during the time and we both were on the same page to try for another baby.
Fair enough. Just a genuine question. Not judging you at all. Best wishes on the birth of you new baby.x
They r cute af. Heading over to your Amazon affiliate link now!!
I wish!
Love the little kitchen idea! In the warmer months you could put it out on your deck maybe to give you more room in you living room💖
That’s such a great idea!! 😀
Omg! How did these choking hazards affect your DFJ???
Stop!!! 🤣
were do you sleep? i thought in the livingroom ?????????/
I’ve moved us all into the bedroom! Nursery/room tour coming soon 🩷
she moved the bed to the daughters room
