Thought u might need to hear this….this type of vlog a lot of people including myself love to watch. Every day BS! The good the bad the ugly, the mudane…..planned videos on specific topics are great but nothing beats watching you do every day things. It’s what anyone can relate to because we all do every day things and wonder if we are the only ones. I want to watch u make sour dough and clean up toys and hang up lights in a closet lol. My year didn’t start off great either but I realized, it’s not about the picture perfect…it’s managing the day to day and celebrating small wins and learning from mistakes. KEEP RAW VLOGGING-Mandy Berson
So far this year sux ass!! It all started Dec 17th when I wrecked my jeep and broke 3 ribs and a bone in my ass cheek. Still struggling with quite a bit of pain. My jeep was really old and I loved it so much but I only had liability insurance on it so I have no vehicle 😢 I'm able to use my grandson's car because he's away in the army. I remember being a young mama with 2 kids under 2 and working full time in a sewing factory and the amount of tiredness my body felt was indescribable!!! You always seem to have so much energy!! You're just a fantastic mama and all around human being ❤❤❤❤❤
I feel you on the year starting off slow! Same as another commenter, my "resolution" is to be kinder to myself and more graceful. Like you my "lazy" is still doing a bunch of shitttt. I'm just taking it day by day and trying not to beat myself up too much. Small tasks are cool. I also love how you talked about automating your life and girl the dishwasher is ICONIC! Why tf was I handwashing everything FOR YEARS!!! 😭
I click on your videos so damn fast 🤣 Girl my New Year’s resolution is to not be so hard on myself and stress about the little things. (Car needs to be vacuumed, a load of laundry needs to be folded, etc) and give myself grace. I have 3 kids, I don’t always want to come home and clean after a 9 hour work day when I have 3 kids to immediately care for when we get home. So. Giving myself grace. 😌 (Within reason obv I’m not gonna let my house get trashed) ANYWHOOO love ya!!!
I'm definitely trying to give myself some grace the first couple weeks of this month. At least for me, after the holidays I definitely kind of go into a little depressive mode and where I live, it's extremely cold so we can't even really go outside and like do things so it makes it a lot harder to feel productive. But I still am going to stay positive and know that I will come out of this and this year is still going to be great.
honestly 2025 has started so slow for me too! i wanted to start a diet, working out, getting up before my kids, etc and i haven’t done shit but start a sourdough starter 😂 usually i’m very go get it as well but this year i am just embracing things moving slow and trying to take it day by day. i have a ton planned this year and so much im excited about. i didn’t set any resolutions but my intentions for this year are to be more present for my kids and do more for myself! 2024 was very rough for me and i just want to be happier.
I started scheduling "me days" because 2025 started with a hospital visit for me, followed by an ER visit. Insurance problems and so many doctors appointments. Life admin work is so much sometimes
The mop works decent but I have a pretty large old house and the battery isn’t strong enough to do the 2 living rooms, dining room and kitchen before the battery died. And I didn’t realize it wasn’t doing the whole area because I was running it while we sleep until after the return window. I still use it but I only use the vacuum bc the battery can last to just vacuum that area.
Have you thought about getting a voice isolating plug-in for your editing software? I edit using Davinci Resolve and it comes with voice isolation (the paid version) and it has been a savior during construction time. So maybe this might help you as it can remove all kinds of unwanted background noise 💡
definitely not alone! 3 of my best friends broke up, one is living with me right now, and a fatherly figure of mine passed away from cancer 4 days in 2025.. best wishes to all ❤
awe man I am so sorry!! That is so tough. I guess at least you have a built in friend right now while they overcome their breakup? Movie nights? Popcorn?
I was SO tired of lash appointments every 2 weeks and nails so I took both off! I get hair done every 3 weeks and that’s nonnegotiable. I am getting nails back on Saturday and I was obsessed with lashes so I ordered the kiss kit for lashes under your lashes. Hope they work. ❤
haha yeah I hear you!! Oh wow I wait 6 weeks to get my hair done, if I did it every 3 weeks I would probably skip lashes and nails too! I don't blame you! I love the lashes though, I seriously hate putting on falselashes and I feel so much more put together with the lash extensions since I don't wear makeup every day!
I'm pretty bummed out. I deal with chronic back pain & a gimp left knee. My health hasn't been the best the last 6 months. I'm limited in standing so exercising is affected. I'm trying to eat less. However, I'm gaining weight & it's very depressing. I was always very fit until my car wreck. Which has caused all my health issues. The winter months make me hurt worse. I'm counting the weeks til spring. 😞
@KristenxLeanne now that I've watched the whole thing, I'd love a video on how you flow with your mornings and the kiddos! Also I'd love to know what your favorite nespresso pods are in the background. I have the same one as you I'm always so curious what other people like!
What is sourdough starter so hard ? Isnt it just easy to buy yeast. ? lol. Love your crazy vidoes. You are so funny. I love you. Omg. My closet is the same. I can’t see squat. And the lights battery ran out too quick on motion knew and was a b to put in new ones
So I have used InoPro Whitening in the past and it works well. I have veneers on the top, so whitening the bottom is important for me, because my bottom teeth stain with my espresso drinking and my top teeth (veneers) don't 🙈
Hi Kristen! Have you mentioned the name of the book you talked about a few videos back that helped with your marriage? I’ve been hoping to hear what it’s called but I don’t think you have mentioned it yet, but I could be wrong and just missed it!
New Year isn't a major change. Consistent with most daily routines and monthly goals. Just add to the TO DO list. DR. appt.s, home repairs, plan a vacation, etc.😀👋🙏
I bought a poster board and made a potty sticker chart for my boys. When they went potty they got to put a sticker on the board. Kids love stickers and much cheaper than prizes....lol
Is this a different primary bedroom…why do I not recognize this room..??🤔 (that sounds creepy n weird…not like I should “recognize your bedroom” lmfao…you know what I mean!😂🙈)

ah yes cold and weather takes a huge toll on my mood and mental state, so I totally understand that. You'll get through it
First off girl I have been lazy this year also you aren't alone. We love any and all your videos but do it when you want we aren't going anywhere!!!

It's only the 8th day of 2025 so I'm not stressing about what I haven't gotten done yet lol I'm just adjusting to the new number .
Love watching you 2025 is really a rollover from 2024
haha right?? Thank you 😛
@KristenxLeanne thank you. All the best for 2025
Loving the bath mat 😊
haha I like it too :P

Hi from the UK! 👋
Hi!!
I'm pretty bummed out. I deal with chronic back pain & a gimp left knee. My health hasn't been the best the last 6 months. I'm limited in standing so exercising is affected. I'm trying to eat less. However, I'm gaining weight & it's very depressing. I was always very fit until my car wreck. Which has caused all my health issues. The winter months make me hurt worse. I'm counting the weeks til spring. 😞
😂❤😂 my daily moto "get your sh🎉t together " lmbo . I will do my New Year's resolution in Spring time this time of year is gross
Love those lights but they need to be charged often.
Love to see it ❤❤
Love to see YOU!
is your husband fighting the fires?! luv u xo
He has not been punched out to the fires in LA yet. Praying for all the firefigthers and people who are affected daily though.
It's embarrassing how fast I clicked to watch this 😂
I LOVE IT. Not embarrassing at all 😍
@KristenxLeanne now that I've watched the whole thing, I'd love a video on how you flow with your mornings and the kiddos! Also I'd love to know what your favorite nespresso pods are in the background. I have the same one as you I'm always so curious what other people like!

Oh and I should correct that I never eat red meat... RARELY. I do love a taco bell taco to name one thing.
I have been a POS myself. The weather is frieken 8 degrees and I can’t seem to get in the swing of things.
Oh my goodness! That's so cold! I would be hiding inside too, dang!
Do you have any teeth whitening recommendations/toothpaste recommendations?? I’m a coffee drinker and struggle with having stained teeth 😩
So I have used InoPro Whitening in the past and it works well. I have veneers on the top, so whitening the bottom is important for me, because my bottom teeth stain with my espresso drinking and my top teeth (veneers) don't 🙈
Hi Kristen! Have you mentioned the name of the book you talked about a few videos back that helped with your marriage? I’ve been hoping to hear what it’s called but I don’t think you have mentioned it yet, but I could be wrong and just missed it!
I haven't done a video on that yet! But look up Laura Doyle on Spotify!
Did you get the new car?
Being lazy too. I figure it won’t last long 😂❤
Me too!
New Year isn't a major change. Consistent with most daily routines and monthly goals. Just add to the TO DO list. DR. appt.s, home repairs, plan a vacation, etc.😀👋🙏
I bought a poster board and made a potty sticker chart for my boys. When they went potty they got to put a sticker on the board. Kids love stickers and much cheaper than prizes....lol
I love that!
@KristenxLeanne my boys loved it. They liked to help choose which stickers to buy too.
I only read the title and i already agree😂😂
hahah
Is this a different primary bedroom…why do I not recognize this room..??🤔 (that sounds creepy n weird…not like I should “recognize your bedroom” lmfao…you know what I mean!😂🙈)
haha! Nope same one, unless you saw me in harlows room, doing the closet light thing! And i totally get what you mean. Doesn't sound creepy at all 🤣
This year has been crap lol hubby got me sick so not a great way to start the new year
Dang it!!! I hope you're feeling better!
So far this year is a shit show for me!
When is the I stay with you all day long and I'm a stay-at-home mom and it was a towns until it's time to lay
