2024 WHOLE HOUSE CLEAN WITH ME | NEW FURNITURE | SUMMER TRY ON HAUL | VACAY PREP! | Lauren Yarbrough

Happy Friday!! 🎉

Your toddler will hear all the time that mama is taking care of the baby and they need to wait. My sister is a mom of 7 and taught me to do the opposite some times, even though baby doesn’t understand. I would put her in her bouncy seat or swing and say “okay baby you sit there! Mama is going to play with sister for a minute.” And it always made my older girl feel so good😊

You could always cut a hole in the back of the bottom of the book case, and put your router into it. That way it will sit flush against your wall.😊

If it would fit , I’d buy another bookshelf to fill that wall, my opinion,it would look better , I love how your dining room and living room is turning out 💖💖

Wow girl! That was quite the workout! Such an awesome video! Love the Living Room bookcase! I hope you have a restful vacation!!!

My oldest son was 2 and a half when his little brother was born and a few months before I gave birth I bought him a baby doll with diapers and a bottle and I showed him how to hold a baby and being gentle. Also, I always said OUR baby so he was aware the new baby was a part of our family. They also have tons of “big brother” books you can read every night etc, we also bought a big brother present for him when the baby was born so he felt special and included. I know you’re going to be exhausted but let Oliver “help” as much as possible when baby comes. He can bring you diapers, wipes, bottles, pacifiers, blankets etc ❤

I think 3 bookshelves would fill up that wall much better and give you more storage. :)

Lauren, I love those dresses! And the wisdom to find such flattering ones that work during AND after pregnancy ❤

We did a toy rotation AND a book rotation and it worked so well. When MK would ask about a toy or a book I would tell her that it was on “vacation” and then she would be so excited when it came back from vacation LOL it definitely made excited about the toys that we had on current rotation

When our children met each other we would purchase a toy that we knew they wanted and then the new baby would give them the toy the first time they met. In our case it made them feel that they were still important and that the baby was happy to meet them. We also kept our eye on it but the older children were asked to help with the baby, it built their confidence that they were helpful and very much needed.

You look so darling in both the green dresses!

Very nice book shelves in the living room I’m sure you remembered they need to be anchored to the wall

I had my second child when my oldest was 5, he came with me to see his baby brother. My ex deployed right before we had him. His command tried to have him leave later but due to his r and position within the command he couldn’t be there. I used to have my oldest help me with simple things, and once his brother went for a nap I would spend time with him. He’d help me by watching his brother or entertaining him so I could clean. My boys were 16 and 12 when my daughter was born so by then they understood baby needs attention. They are great big brothers and love their sister. My mom babysits when I go do things with the two boys. Usually a movie. I am currently out of town for my oldest son’s graduation. So I missed it Friday and am watch this on Sunday. Have a great vacation.

I love the new bookshelves ♥️-I hope when you decorate, as long as you love the way your house looks, doesn’t matter what anyone else thinks or says🤷🏻‍♀️I know you ask for an opinion and we can give it, but in the end you do what you love☺️blessings 🙏🏼

My kids got slime in the rug - I poured vinegar on it and it came right out!! It like melts the slime and makes it super easy to remove!

Lysol rust & lime stool cleaner will work to keep your stains away also. Just let it sit for few minutes, then scrub your stool, & the hard water ring will be gone. Enjoy watching your videos 🙂

I absolutely loved the flag on top of the hutch. I miss it!

Hi Lauren hope you and your family are doing well ♥️ have a great day ♥️🌹👍

You could try a dark gray or black peel and stick wallpaper on the backside of Bookshelves. Inside if that makes sense.
