Kim Transcription EP 2
00:17 Wow, I should have known something like this is gonna happen. And okay, I have a cold. My voice doesn't sound like itself and I'm so congested actually, time out.
00:30 It's not that bad, but it's enough that it's, I'm congested. Like I, Hmm. But I should have known, like as soon as I'm like, I'm gonna start this podcast, I'm gonna film two episodes and then I wake up in the morning and I sound like this.
00:47 Ugh. But, but here's the thing, a lot of people and myself included, have taken something like this, a situation where you have a plan and then it gets derailed and you take it as, oh, this is a sign.
01:00 This is a sign. I shouldn't do it. This is a sign. I shouldn't do a podcast because I'm sick and my voice sounds jacked up, .
01:09 And it would just push the podcast back even further. Or my goal or my dream, whatever. But instead I'm using this as an excuse.
01:17 I can't remember where I learned this, but I'm using this as a reason to record. Like I'm taking this as a sign.
01:25 Like something really good is going to come out of the podcast and maybe there's like an evil force that like doesn't want it to happen.
01:34 And I have to be the one to be like, no, it's happening. We are gonna make it happen and I'm gonna show you.
01:41 Nothing's gonna stop it. I'm not gonna let anything stop me from making this happen. So just a little mindset shift before we get into the q and as.
01:51 I , I'm excited to do a q and a. I'm actually just taking questions off of my last questions box I put on Instagram.
02:00 So I'm gonna have to go look those up. Now, anytime I answer questions I just want you to know like this, it's my take.
02:07 It's just my opinion from the mind of Kim or my, in my eyes, this is my answer. Does that make sense?
02:15 So isn't not like the answer, it's about perspective. So this way I think it's gonna help you get to know me a little bit better.
02:21 It's also going to maybe help us connect depending what I'm loving, what I'm watching, that sort of thing. So I'm sipping on some vitamin C.
02:30 It's actually called, it's called well from rookie Wellness. And then I sprinkled in a little bit of their immunity. Don't love the flavor of immunity, but I want the benefits of it.
02:40 There's like zinc in there and some other like immunity boosting ingredient. So it's lots of vitamin C and it tastes, the well, tastes really good.
02:49 It's very like orange tangerine, refreshing. And then a little sprinkle of the immunity. Like I said, not my favorite flavor, but the tangerine balances out.
02:58 So we got that. I started watching Pepsi, where's my jet on Netflix. And I honestly wasn't going to start this cuz I just watched the preview and I was like I got the gist of it.
03:10 I can predict exactly what happens in this. I'm not gonna waste my time. But so many people recommended it to me.
03:16 My mom, actually it was my mom. I know my sister did another friend. And I was like, you know what I'm gonna watch it because I could just use a feel good story playing in the background while I scroll on my phone.
03:32 So I put that on and I am, I, I don't know how many episodes it is, but I'm on episode two and I am really enjoying it.
03:39 Like I, I love the backend of Pepsi's advertising because I work for an advertising firm right after college, which, so it's really cool.
03:52 Like my background is in graphic design, so I get it, like you'd have to come up with ideas. , I haven't even told you what the documentary or dec series is about, but basically it has to do with a commercial that was aired for Pepsi.
04:07 They had like this Pepsi points system where you could get points every time you bought Pepsi. Like you would literally have to cut it off of a label.
04:16 Remember remember box tops. Does anyone be like a nineties kid? Anyways, that was, that was a really big thing in the nineties.
04:24 That was their like rewards, like member rewards before that was a thing before everyone was giving their email addresses to get rewards or like target circle, you know what I mean?
04:34 That was the beginning. Wow. Box tops, all that stuff. So anyways, you would have to cut off this point on Pepsi to get like a t-shirt.
04:42 It would be 80 points, sunglasses, 200 points, whatever. But they had this commercial that shared all that and then at the end it showed a hi jet.
04:51 And it said 7 million points for the jet. And this one kid who watched a commercial kid, he was like a college aged young adult.
04:59 He was like, wait. And he did the math on that. And he's like, wow. I could just, if I could get someone to, or a couple investors to help me raise the funds, like we could get a jet and that would be a fraction of the price of an actual jet.
05:10 And long story short, Pepsi so far, I mean like you get this all from the trailer, I'm not giving anything away and I haven't even seen the ending yet.
05:19 But , I don't know why I'm so excited about this now. So the kid tries to fight and say like, Hey, you advertise this, you said you would give me a jet and I have the points like you have to give it to me.
05:33 And then yeah, then they get into like a legal battle over this. But anyways, the advertisers are like the guy, the creative director back then was on is on it.
05:44 And I just think it's so cool how he talks about like, you know, what his ideas were behind the ads, what marketing was like in the nineties, a lot of the nineties and nostalgia is in, is in this.
05:56 But yeah, I liked when when they talked about like coming up with the ideas cuz I always think that's really fun.
06:02 Okay, so that's just one of the things I watched this week. I haven't finished it. I watched the Galen Maxwell episode.
06:10 I don't, I don't even like talking about her cuz she was just a horrible person and I felt like it was kind of a recap if you were paying attention to that whole trial in real time.
06:19 And I did watch the Jeffrey Epstein stuff like years ago when that first came out. So I felt like it was a review also, I'm not on like the Christmas movie bandwagon yet.
06:30 I'm just trying to save those as it gets closer to Christmas. Cuz I feel like I kind of overdo it.
06:36 But I am excited to get into these q and as here. Someone said, how do you wax and which tool wax what?
06:49 I do not, I don't wax anything. I've had my eyebrows wax twice in my entire life and the the second time the girl freaking burnt my skin so bad right under my eyebrow and it was so raw and red that I never went back.
07:06 And also like eyebrow waxing I feel like is out now. It's like micro bleeding and not tattooing, is that what it's called?
07:15 Micro? I'm not up to date with that. But also if they're asking about waxing other parts of my body, no, I just, I don't, I'm sorry, .
07:22 Should I? Maybe? Okay, next question. AB exercises when Prego. Okay, well I have these in my fit pregnancy program and in mom fuel where we release new workouts every month.
07:37 But my favorites honestly, honest. Honest honestly I don't love core workouts. Like they are not my favorite. I would prefer to just do moves that are kinda like secondary core exercises, right?
07:55 So like even like a lunge, you're using your core to stabilize yourself, which is something you can do when you're pregnant.
08:03 Like a, a lunch, like lunging up and down. Using your core to balance, right? Like those are my favorite types of ab exercises.
08:14 You can also do like reverse planks, bridges tabletop holds like bird dog. Those are like three of my go-tos. Okay, next, the other day.
08:28 Okay, nope, that's not gonna be relevant for on here. Someone's asking about my pajamas. I did get pajamas from this brand called parade.
08:34 They are so cute and very soft and I've gotten lots of questions about them. How do you, sorry for my sniffles, how to keep up supply while working out in breastfeeding.
08:48 All right, so this is very specific to each person, but basically to, what it boils down to is you need to be eating enough calories to produce the milk because it takes calories to make breast milk.
09:01 So let's say you're eating 2000 calories and you're using just about 2000 calories between like your daily life and breastfeeding.
09:10 And if you add exercise on top of that and you're burning another 400, you're dr dr, your milk supply is gonna drop.
09:16 Like if your body's using that energy and those calories towards your workout, then you're gonna see a drop in your milk supply.
09:23 Now, like I said, specific to each person, it's different for each person. But what I have heard, seen witnessed is that long steady state type workouts like running treadmill type like yeah, like long steady state cardio is like the worst thing you could do for breast milk supply.
09:46 , I mean maybe you've had a different experience, but this is just what I've heard and seen, like I said, is that you're gonna see the most exercise benefits with the most milk supply.
09:58 If you can do shorter, more effective workouts, like a short hit workout or a total body strength workout, those that are gonna target the most muscles or you know, get that good anaerobic sweat and aerobic sweat in there.
10:15 Yeah. But basically the shorter the workout and the more effective it is the better it'll be for your supply. We don't wanna be wasting time, number one that you don't have, but also wasting energy on like a going for a seven mile run, which you might be like, Kim, that's not what I was planning on doing.
10:33 I mean, just for example things like that are going to drain your supply the fastest. But if you're like, Hey, I'm training for a marathon, that's amazing.
10:43 Let's just make sure you're eating enough calories. So you gotta add, you know, a few hundred calories maybe more. And it might be a little bit of a trial and error situation where you have to add or maybe track what you're eating just to see like, oh, on days when I had oatmeal for breakfast and then a protein bar after my lunch, like I had more supplies moving on as Blake potty trained.
11:06 What's the best age you think? Well, number one, Blake is not, I actually, I made a reel about her being potty trained or like her potty training herself because she had started potty training herself.
11:20 And I was like, oh my god, this is amazing. And it was just like a blip. It was just like a fluke.
11:27 Like she happened to have to pee and she was sitting down. So she's not potty trained best age. It's different for each kid.
11:35 I have friends that have really irritated me by saying, oh my son, he just got it. We, I just showed him like the potty and took off his diaper and it just clicked.
11:47 Well, okay, well that's great for that is no that in my mind, that doesn't exist in my mind. Like ki like my children don't just get it, they just, they don't .
11:59 It took months for both Ayla and Rosie Lynn months and months. But with Blake, what I'm doing my third time around, I'm like, I am not stressing about this like I did before.
12:10 It's gonna happen when it happens. I do have some great friends that I am modeling what they used as like a, a child led potty training experience, which doesn't that sound more enjoyable.
12:23 Instead of you trying to force 'em to sit down, I'm sorry if you've never potty trained before or if your kid just got it, you're like, what is she ranting about?
12:30 But basically I'm letting bleak kind of just know when it's happening. And I only like am actively potty training when I am available to clean up a mess.
12:43 And what that looks like is I just take off her diaper and I show her where the potty is and then I really am just chilling playing with the girls and I got my cleanup stuff ready in case she tinkles somewhere.
12:56 How do you keep healthy with so many sicknesses going around? Hannah, I'm sick right now. I'm not sure. And this is the thing that I hate.
13:07 I try to figure out how did I catch, how did I contract that? Was it the neighbor that came over with her binos?
13:13 Was it when I went to the store? Like, like what could I have done to prevent it? Which is so silly because we can't go back in time and change things.
13:22 So like why waste the time with that idea? But what I do do even when I'm sick is I'm just c and I know others around me are sick is that time of the year I am just making sure I am taking my supplements.
13:38 So this, well drink with the vitamin C. I've been drinking that like every day for the, for the last month and a half.
13:44 I wanna say two months. Whenever I got it, it was like early October. Eating well, eating lots of vitamin rich fruits, veggies, just making sure I am fueling my body.
13:57 I'm hydrated. Very simple stuff. Getting enough sleep at night, I'm not staying up too late. When you're bo think about it, when you're tired and you're not getting enough sleep, you're dehydrated cuz you're forgetting to drink water.
14:07 Like that's when a cold is gonna be like, oh this, she's ready. Let's attack her immune system's down, let's get her.
14:14 So just making sure you're keeping up with like the day-to-day type of, you know, self-care. Whether it's rest, eating the supplements, like I talked about.
14:26 I did start using, it's called Colonial silver, but the brand is sovereign silver and the colonial silver is supposed to be really great for your immune system.
14:36 And my chiropractor and a couple other people recommended it to me. Yeah, just it's great to take if you feel something coming on if you're currently sick or if you're healthy and just trying to prevent sickness.
14:47 So I don't have any other secrets or like tips other than that. How do you recommend changing your nutrition to meet your fat loss goals?
14:57 Ooh, well I personally don't enjoy talking about fat loss because again, it's another one of those things that's very specific to each person.
15:10 It's not one of my goals right now. I can only speak for my experience folks. I am not a nutritionist, I'm not a dietician.
15:17 One thing that I started doing that really just drastically changed the way my body looked and felt. And it's so simple.
15:27 My former self that was like really, really into fitness pre-kids, you know, like training for an hour to two hours a day, drinking the protein shakes, eating pro like counting Mac or attempting to count macros.
15:41 I hated that. But I was trying so hard to change the way my body looked in like 20 14, 20 15. And if I had heard this advice or this like tip, I would've been so angry like, oh, you make it sound so, but here's the tip.
16:02 I started listening to my body and eating intuitively and oh my gosh, I had heard people actually say this back in the day and I was like, it just, it infuriated me cuz I was like, no, no, it cannot be that easy.
16:16 It cannot, your body just looks like that. That's just like how you made. And like it's not that easy. Like I was just so upset when I would hear someone say that.
16:26 So if you're feeling triggered right now, I'm sorry. But when I got pregnant with Ayla, all of those like protein drinks, pre-work, like literally everything that I thought I knew about fitness became different.
16:44 Not only like on paper, like people saying like, oh you can't have pre-workout or when you're pregnant or you can't like do burpees with on your belly like you know, when you're pregnant obviously.
16:55 But it was like my body told me like heck no or heck yes to things. There was no gray area.
17:02 It was no or yes. And having that loud internal voice just changed everything. It changed how I ate, it changed what I did during the day.
17:14 It changed how I slept, it changed how I made decisions. And it was honestly like I didn't even have control anymore.
17:20 It was my body telling me what to do, which of course was an adjustment. I was like, ooh, I my bo like my mind wants to work out, my mind thinks I should still be able to do.
17:31 I wanna be like the strongest pregnant woman ever. Like I wanna do sprints, I wanna do, you know, chin-ups, I wanna do like all these things.
17:38 But my body was like, we're that's a no, we're gonna do something else. So it was really hard for me mentally, but physically and then later mentally I felt so much better.
17:52 Like I felt so much better. And like today, now here I am, years and years of pregnancy. Oh my gosh, I am pregnant and breastfeeding for like six years of my life.
18:02 I think about that a lot. I'm like, wow, I've been changing diapers for six years, like more than six years.
18:09 But now the way I feel and the the way I enjoy my body and like I like the way I look and I don't wanna change it.
18:20 And there's a couple reasons I don't wanna change it. One because I'm happy with it. But two, I honestly don't care.
18:26 I don't care as much as I did. So, okay, back to the question I did like, I feel like I look better postpartum than I did when I was pregnant.
18:37 That's typically not the norm. But also like I have, I feel like I'm not pushing, like I'm not forcing something anymore.
18:46 I'm just allowing. And then also, you know, integrating fitness in a way that works for me. Nutrition in a way that works for me.
18:54 I'm listening to my body and what I want to eat, like how much I want to eat, how much I wanna work out.
19:00 That is my only outlook on that. Like my only answer I feel comfortable providing and wow, I feel like that could be a whole podcast episode in itself.
19:09 Alright, do you have any trips to mass planned? I do not. We definitely wanna visit every single summer. I mean why would I not?
19:19 Like the girls are off from school, the weather is beautiful there. So maybe not every summer we can plan on that, but it would've been nice to go back in the fall and even in the winter to do like a little Christmas like, ooh, it's snowing, let's go to Massachusetts and like build a snowman and then gingerbread house and drink hot cocoa and then get back on the plane and go to Florida, come back to Florida .
19:41 I'm trying to plan a trip. It would just be like a quick weekend. It's just so hard when I go home, I'm doing like air codes when I go back home it doesn't feel like home anymore because I have to stay with a friend.
19:56 And I don't know about you, but I kind of feel like I hate asking can I stay with you? Everyone has like a life and I feel like I'm intruding and I don't, I mean I don't wanna say like, I don't feel like I have someone I can ask cuz I do.
20:11 That would not be true. I just, it's a me thing but I'm trying to plan something. We'll see. But right now the answer, no, nothing planned.
20:22 Oh, Justin's brother's getting married next September, so we will be back for the beautiful month of September. Not the whole month.
20:29 Probably a week, like right after labor day. It's, it's just so nice. At that time of year. Did you like being pregnant?
20:37 Yes, I really did. Sorry, I'm trying to like creep on who asked me that cuz I'm pretty sure it's a man, which I'm like, why are you asking me that?
20:47 Anyways, I love being pregnant for a few reasons. I mean I also had reasons I didn't like pregnancy, don't get me wrong.
20:56 Like the nausea. No thanks. The extreme exhaustion in the first trimester. Ugh. Like I'll take third trimester any day over that first trimester.
21:08 No thank you. I'd rather be like nine months pregnant for nine months versus that those first 16 weeks for me like morning sickness and like the mor mm-hmm that lasted for four months, like nearly half the pregnancy .
21:22 But I would rather be pregnant for nine months at full term. Like I don't, I just, I love the curves.
21:29 I love the way my body was like full, like I felt like, you know, everything's just like full. I felt like, what's the word?
21:37 Like super, just like abundant and like thriving. Like all my systems were like in full mode, which was kind of a pain sometimes you know when you're gums are bleeding when you floss or you know your, your sinuses are like working over time for no reason but just like that overflow like abundant flourishing feeling like I felt flourished And then after I have a baby I feel like depleted and I'm like how do I get that back?
22:05 How do I flourish again? So I miss that. I really do. Somebody asked hospital bag items please. This was giving me ideas for like I feel like I have this as a blog post on my blog.
22:20 I have a blog on my website. If you go to kim perry.com there's a blog tab. This is one of 'em.
22:26 Hospital bag necessities. Honestly we all over pack to give birth to a baby. We just do. It's, I mean if you over pack for a weekend trip, you're definitely gonna overpack for your hospital visit.
22:37 Like the, I I was, I should have done this. I knew I should have done it but I was gonna make a video after we were home from the hospital and go through my hospital bag while I was unpacking it and show what I used versus what I didn't because it was a few things that I didn't use and I was like wow, I really did not need this.
22:59 And now, right now in my head I'm, I can't even think of what it was. I'll go back and like look at my list and then tell you items you actually don't need at the hospital.
23:07 You do however need chapstick and a hair tie, . So bring those. Somebody asked if Blake is in a toddler bed starting to look for my daughter.
23:16 All the feels. Well funny you should ask, we've been having some crazy sleep situations with the girls. Nobody wants to go to bed, nobody wants to stay in their bed.
23:28 Why? Why now? Why now children, we've been doing this for years. You going to bed, you go to sleep. Why are we switching it up?
23:38 I honestly feel like it's a domino effect cuz and they feed off of each other. Like if ALA's like I don't wanna sleep in my bed then Rose, I don't wanna go to my bed.
23:46 Blake , you know they go down, they all copy each other, they all wanna be like treated the same so they act the same anyways.
23:56 Yeah, they're all fighting us in every way. But Blake specifically sh we still have her crib, we still have her little tent.
24:04 Some nights she goes down into easy, some nap time she goes down just fine. Others, she is fighting us. So we have been letting her sleep in Rosie toddler bed which has been working out very well except if she wakes up so we forgot to, so what would we do?
24:19 Let her fall asleep there cuz that's just like less of a battle, less of a fight. Is it r the right thing to do?
24:25 Probably not. Samantha Day would not approve. Samantha Day is a sleep consultant. Go follow her Samantha Day Sleep consulting, she's all about like setting firm boundaries with the kids.
24:35 But also if I, if I take like the 10, 15 minutes to make this like book that she talks about, I gotta do it.
24:44 But basically you take pictures of your kids getting ready for bed, brush their teeth, put it on your pajamas, go to the bathroom, read a story, mommy texts me and you take pictures of this, you can act it out or like take pictures as one of your nighttime routines and then you print 'em out and make it into a book so that when it's bedtime you're like okay let's get our books.
25:03 Okay step one. And you show the pictures and then when you get to read one book and they wanna like I wanna go watch tv, you're like nope, look at the book.
25:12 See the book says after we read, we read, we go into our bed and we say our prayers. So then it's not you telling them what to do, it's the book.
25:21 All right, back to the bed situation. After she falls asleep in the toddler bed, you're supposed to put the kid to sleep where they're gonna wake up in the morning.
25:31 Not not what I'm doing but anyways we move her when she's sleeping into her crib and then Rosie goes to sleep into her bed.
25:38 It's just, but anyways, Blake does fall asleep in it. , she kind of falls not out of it but like the last couple times I'll go in there, she's got one leg completely off like foot on the floor but she's passed out and twice it's so I gotta take pictures of us cuz that really is funny and adorable.
26:00 But yeah, one of the times we did not move her and it was in the accident and I think it was like four something in the morning.
26:10 She just woke up and wandered out where if she was in her crib and she woke up, she would just roll over and go back to sleep.
26:18 But she wasn't in her normal environment. I am not ready to put her in a bed. Ayla moved, she would've stayed in her crib till she was like four four or something.
26:27 She was three and a half. Which is a small child. Like I'm looking at Rosie who's four now and thinking about her ala when she was three and a half in a crib and we only moved her into a bed because I was so pregnant with Blake and I had read that you're supposed to make any like big changes like well before the baby comes cuz you don't want your child to think like, oh the baby came so the baby stole my bedroom and I had to move.
26:56 You want it to be like, oh I got this new big girl bedroom and then later a baby was born type of thing.
27:03 So we moved Alan with Rosie and at the time Justin was like well it's silly if we move her her crib in there now because like then we're gonna have to do bed later so might as well just do the bed now.
27:14 And I'm like looking back like maybe no ala was fine. She moved into her big girl bed. It was like a twin size bed at three and a half did fine.
27:21 She's an angel. Rosie was climbing out of her crib at two and a half. Oh we were trying everything to keep her in there and and we did like, I mean like we just kept her actually did, I think we took the bar off and gave her like a toddler bed eventually cuz we're like, all right, this is enough is enough.
27:39 Just chill on your aerobics here, getting out of your crib. And we just gave her like the crib with like the bar in the front versus like the full-on cage , I dunno what to call the sign.
27:52 And then, but it's just, I feel like it's different for each child, like what they need in that moment. I would say though, if they are trying to climb out or they're showing signs, don't just immediately say like, oh big girl bed because that's not always the case.
28:07 Or if they're like, I don't wanna go to bed. Like sometimes that's just a phase that might only last like a couple of nights, maybe a week.
28:13 And after you get over that hump they're going to bed like nothing. You just have to kind of show them like consistency, which can be very difficult.
28:22 And it's so easy. I mean I find myself doing this all the time thinking that like something's gonna be the magic trick to get them to sleep through the night.
28:29 Like we thought about that with Rosie, she's in a taller bed and Justin and I were like, well maybe if we get her like a new bed, maybe if we get her like princess unicorn sheets and you know, a new bed and we do wallpaper maybe like this is me.
28:43 Maybe she'll stay in her room. No, I'm sorry to break it to you, I'm sorry to break it to myself, but that is not the answer that is not going to do the trick.
28:53 But I know a lot of kids that at two, two and a half are staying in their beds. Like kids are different.
28:59 Like look at Ayla, she just, she just stayed in bed. She tricked us into thinking all kids were easy. Okay, next.
29:06 I like this one. Do you exchange gifts with your husband for Christmas? If so, what are you eyeing? Yes, we exchange gifts.
29:12 When I first read this question I was like, that's a silly question. Then I was like, well no, I, I get it, I get it.
29:18 And now at this point in our relationship, we've been married nine and a half years, we've been together for 13 or 14.
29:27 Time is just going by so fast. Yeah, this is like many Christmases we've had, you know, so many mother's days, father's days, birthdays, just a gift exchanging days that it's like, like what are we, I mean we're both adults.
29:43 We're both buying things that we want when we want them or need them and it's not necessary to exchange gifts but for Christmas.
29:52 So here's the thing, Justin is really good at gift giving and I, so on that side of things, like he, he can just like see, I always ask him too, I'm like, Hey babe, what should I get my mom for Christmas?
30:08 And he just like will say, oh new oven mitz. And I was like, really? And he goes, yeah, when we were over there she said she needed new oven mitz because when she was taking the Turkey out and I'm just like, oh my, he's just really good with stuff like that and he just has really good ideas that aren't even like ideas.
30:24 It's just like so obvious to him. It's, I don't know, it works. It's great. So he gives me gifts that I didn't even like realize I needed.
30:31 Like I might have mentioned something like he's really good at paying attention to details and remembering. But he did ask me to make a list this year cuz he is like, what do you need?
30:41 What do you want? And I was like, oh shoot, okay, I will make a list. And then with him I kind of just get like a refresh.
30:49 Like he doesn't ever like go out and treat himself to like the little things like tweezers. Like he steals mine and I'm like, oh he would, I would love to get him like a brand new like toiletry, tweezer type of set.
31:05 I feel like he would really use that. He uses like things he use his daily that need needs upgrades, underwear, like basic shirts, sneakers.
31:14 Oh he's so overdue for a pair of sneakers but he's kind of picky. So anyways, we exchanged dance What's on my list?
31:21 Here's the thing, I heard a podcast and I was like ooh, that's a good idea. And it was Charlene Johnson's podcast and she said every year she asks her kids and her husband for a handwritten letter and or video from them like a message.
31:38 So just say like, I mean you can write whatever you want but I feel like it's gonna be like an appreciation letter or video and not so much.
31:46 I mean like her, she said this was her idea because words of affirmation is like her love language. For me it's more of like having that memory of that moment or that point in time cuz she talked about how she still has everything and she looks back at them and I'm like, oh that would be so amazing if my kids start like ala can like write now she needs a lot of help spelling words.
32:09 But I'm like that like some of the stuff she's made me like if we did one letter every year for on Christmas, like from now until she's 20 and then I go back through the years and like look at what she wrote me like I'm like, that is so sweet to me.
32:23 So I, and even Justin, I'm like that'd be so cute if him and the girls did like a video together for me.
32:28 Like I would cry number one but also being able to like watch it back. I also feel like I'm kind of like not sentimental but like I noticed I've enjoyed stuff like this in the past.
32:39 Like anytime I get, when I was a teacher I would randomly get either like a note from a student, a card maybe around the holidays, a thank you and they would write me something and be like, hey you've been a really great teacher and I mean I loved having you as my teacher.
32:55 Like literally something so simple and I would just, that means so much because we kind of hear it like we know it but like hearing it, seeing it written out is a big deal.
33:06 Also, I would save everything, every like little positive message and I would put it in a folder. And this is like, I suggest this for teachers.
33:14 I learned this at a teaching conference. You keep it all and this one woman, she called it like her sunshine folder.
33:20 But when you're having a bad day just to pull those out and remember it's just a bad day. Like you are a good person, you are a good teacher and the kids still love you.
33:29 Or maybe like this is a part of motherhood that's really hard for you and if you have that note to look back on a video to just watch and just be like wow I am, I am a good mom and I like they love me.
33:40 There is so much love here and I'm just having a bad day. Okay, so that was a little bit of a tangent that's on my list.
33:46 I really want acupuncture for Christmas. I've never done it. I think it'd be cool if you are looking to add something to a wishlist and you're like, oh I wanna like get my hair done.
33:56 Have them book the appointment, like bonus points for booking it. Double bonus points if they watch or plan childcare. That is the gift, the gift of the season.
34:07 Like the ultimate gift. I would like to try acupuncture but I wanna do like a couple's massage. Like I value quality time and I would love for Justin to buy me a massage with him.
34:17 Like we could go together. We could go together and he has someone lined up to babysit and we go and get a couple's massage.
34:24 Like that would be so cool. Also, little random things. I should be writing this down cuz it's just right up in here in my head.
34:30 I want a pretty tea kettle. I've been using my kettle to make my hot water for tea instead of the Keurig.
34:37 And for a few reasons why didn't reminds me of my nana. Hmm nana rest in peace. But also, I don't know, I just don't like the thought of like the how.
34:45 I don't really understand how carries work and I'm just like, well let's just heat up water with the stove, not the microwave.
34:52 And I don't like the way my current kettle looks on the stove. Not that looks bad but I'm just like, there's so many pretty kettles out there and that's something I wouldn't buy for myself but I feel like would be a nice gift for me.
35:02 Or maybe you know, a tea drinker that could use a kettle . I always want new workout sneakers. The two pairs I currently have honestly are not doing it.
35:11 I love my Adidas, Adidas star, ADI Addie star, I don't even know I love them but they're more for like running or walking the way that like the soul is like molded, like it's kinda like a rocking horse, like your foot wants to just step forward.
35:27 So great for walking, running errands, but agility like back and forth type of movements. They're not made for that. And then my other white Adidas, I don't know why I like Adidas.
35:39 It's just my thing right now. They have no support. Yeah, very minimal support. They're lightweight, which I like. They go with everything cuz they're all white, but they are minimal support in the like soul but also like all the way around.
35:54 What else did I have on my list? I've been eyeing a couple things from Lululemon, which is again, something I would always want.
36:01 I'm like that's nice but like I don't need it so I'm not gonna buy it. But I think I'm gonna wrap it up here.
36:05 We do have more questions. Maybe they'll be a part two. We'll have to do this again. But those are some of the answers to your questions.
36:13 I am so glad you listened and tuned in today and I will see you in the next one. Bye.
