Oh finally I'm back home after a day out and first thing I did, after a bath is searching for your today's vlogmas. This way I'm getting cosy at home in a very cold windy day. i love planning as well. I carry my diary everywhere I go. The fact I don't have to remember everything by heart helps. I love seeing the planned day written on the page... Today my 5 year old starts the Christmas holidays so now the Christmas craziness starts :) I love Eddie with those clothes he looked cozy too :) Have a nice evening Darlene and thank you for sharing your Christmas days with us.
So many commenters have already said what I would have. I just want to add how impressed I am with how nice you always look. Especially considering everything you do! I'm loving your hair lately.
I cannot image how excited Andrew must be to see the Elf on the Shelf because I am excited to see it every day! You are so creative. I have been loving your Vlogmas 2024 and it has helped to keep me grounded.
Haha, I love Scooby's pizza hat! I have the same philosophy of alleviating holiday stress by PLANNING! Ironically, I've left the wrapping until the last minute [today], lol. But everything else is all set. I wanted to tell you that you've inspired me to pick up coloring again. I used to color teeny-tiny detailed pictures, but they just got to be too much for my eyes. I just ordered a "large print" winter book that I can't wait to get started on. And I can't think of a better afternoon pick-me-up combination than coffee AND Andrew! What a sweetie he is
Christmas madness starts tonight at our place! Family starts to arrive and the party begins! I gave up trying to do everything a few years ago and I feel so much better about it. I hope you have a great day!
Good morning, Darlene. So, your Elf on the Shelf has change of clothes?! That is too funny! I do like how you share your planning techniques. It is nice to see how others plan their holiday seasons. You don't look too stressed, but planning does make it less stressful. Your videos have been very nice to watch each morning. Thank you for putting the effort out and making them. I'm going to be sad when Christmas is over. I look forward each morning watching you. 🥰🎄🎅☃
Eddie always arrives with a suitcase so he must keep something in there. LOL. The planning is how everything comes together and and my family always asks in the morning what's the plan for the day and I say check the fridge. The schedule it up there and then they know what's going on and do what they need to do for themselves around that. It's very important for our son because he does so much better when he has time to process what is going to happen during the day.
I totally agree with you!! Planning is the way that I relieve my stress. If I don't write it down, then I am totally stressing out lol I love how you keep everything simple. That makes it so much easier to follow and I have followed a lot of your ideas for organizing my food storage and my household items. Love these vlogs!!!
I'm setting up a grocery pickup now but the app aggravated me so I'm here 😂 Hubby hates it when I say what do you want for food these 2 weeks! Hes like we'll whatever you choose but im in a lil rut right now 🙄 Daughter came and save him becuz she reminded me of potato tot casserole. I'm on a 1 pot/ casserole dish or crockpot! Those 3 style meals will bring in the new year and easy clean up! I am ready for our christmas lights adventure with baby boy Sully!!
I have to write this down for living pd l forget things so writting it helps me ,l don,t stress over christmas anymore as long as family spends time with each other is the main thing .love your video,s❤
Did you know you can take donuts and make a similar breakfast ( bread pudding) casserole. Paula Deen did this years ago. So if the cinnamon rolls are too expensive or none left substitute donuts in place of them. Just google Paula Deen recipe for bread pudding made out of donuts.
@@APeekInsideI just watched her and looked at the recipe she mixed up these two ingredients: it takes two (14oz) cans of fruit cocktail and one can of sweetened condensed milk. She said it even tasted like cinnamon rolls. Though the recipe calls for rum to make the icing/ glaze you could swap out a cream cheese icing like a lot of people use for topping their cinnamon rolls, or just use a little rum extract in it instead of real rum. This way children can eat it.
I always enjoy your vlogmas so much, whether you get 5 loaded or 25. The music, beauty of Canada, the pups, cooking, organizing, shopping, your realness, it's all wonderful. May the Lord bless you and family this season.

We do what we can but when the madness starts then it's time to enjoy. Have a wonderful Christmas Barb.
