Hi guys, what's up? It's Natalie. Welcome to, or welcome back to, my YouTube channel. So in today's video, um, we're gonna be vlogging today and I'm really excited for you guys to come along. We're getting ready for a walk right now. They're literally like, come on, hurry up, Mom. So that's like the first thing we're doing. Then I have to go to Target. I saw this really cute diaper bag and I can't stop thinking about it, so I think I'm gonna get. Also, look at my nails. I really, really want to redo them. They literally look crusty AF. I'm like missing a couple, but that's okay. And then I also have to pick up groceries, and then we might go eat with my mom and my sister and my sister's boyfriend. So yeah, I'm really, really excited.
Let's go! Say hi! Hi! Mwah!
First things first, Target. I like really hope they have that diaper bag because I cannot stop thinking about it. Like, it's pretty bad that I can't stop thinking about it because I really don't need a new diaper bag. I like the mommy diaper bag that I have. It's like a huge like duffel almost. Um, but I'm finding that it's like really inconvenient to put underneath the stroller because it's so big. And then I have a black one, a black diaper bag that I don't like because there's just— it's like not really functional. Like whoever made it was pretty stupid. Well, it's not pretty stupid because it has— whoa, let me get out of the neighborhood really fast.
Hold on.
It has like a built-in like changing table, like you unzip it and then it's like a full-on changing table. However, it's such a hassle to even set up, um, that I don't even use it. So I'm gonna look at this one one more time. Arabella's talking. I'm gonna look at this one one more time and then make my decision. I'm like almost positive I'm going to get this one, but I'll even show you guys it, but who knows, maybe I'll find something even better. Also, this one's pink and I really want a black one, but I still can't stop thinking about this one, so we'll see. Also, yesterday I brought Sam coffee at work because he's like now working on weekends. So annoying, but today I made my own. Oh my god, it looks like Sam's old car. I made my own.
I'm like—
I like want to stop drinking coffee, but it helps me during the day. But like I know it's not the best for me, so I've been doing— I've been doing the cranberry and water mixture in my drink instead of coffee, and I think my problem is I like to sip and like drink something when I drive. And this kind of like fills in the gaps, you know? But this Target that we're going to, it has Starbucks, so I might change my mind and actually get something at Starbucks. I don't know. Okay, here it is. Thoughts? I don't know if I like the color, but I don't like any of these.
Hmm.
Also, she fell asleep. Okay, I'm back in the car. That took a little longer than I expected. I feel like every single time I come to this this Target, the one closer by my house, they get something wrong. And of course they couldn't find the tag on the diaper bag, but it's fine.
Here it is.
Okay, I'm not a fan of the color, but I like the style of it. Like, I like how the zipper is going this way, so when you're like trying to look for something, you can easily find it this way. And then it has a changing mat and then two side pockets, front pocket, which I can like put my phone, my keys. And then there's like these like individual pockets, so like pacifiers, wipes, whatever, can all go in here. Or you can take these out. I love that. And it's a backpack, which is kind of cool. And it hooks onto your stroller, which is also kind of cool.
Yeah.
My mom's calling me, hold on. Anyways, that was my diaper bag and now I'm gonna go pick up groceries and then by that time I hope my mom and my sister will be ready for lunch because it's 11 o'clock now and I'm hungry.
Yeah. Okay, I got a haul.
I'm going to do a haul of everything I got. If you hear my dog, he's Breathing really heavy for no reason. First thing we got right here, water. Got some stuff for stir-fry, uh, we got my teriyaki sauce. Um, Arabella's been loving black beans, so I got her black beans. Oh my gosh, udon noodles! I wanted to try this peanut chicken sauce, supposed to be nutty and spicy with garlic. Ginger and lemongrass, so hopefully that's good. We got baby corn, we love baby corn. Um, another baby corn and more udon noodles because I've been loving stir-fry lately. It's just been so good. Next we got some frozen bananas because Arabella loves bananas and so do I. I want to start making smoothies again. So I got 2 of them. Then I got— I wanted to try this— some macaroni salad, some of my white cranberry strawberry juice. I got 3 of them. Then I got some blueberry muffins to make because me and Sam love to make them. And butternut squash soup. I'm so excited for this. If you know, you know, this is like literally the best soup with some salt. Mmm, so good. Now I'm gonna put everything away. Look how much she's crawling. Why are you in the kitchen? You're not supposed to be in the kitchen, you silly girl. Where are you going? She's like full-on crawling now, and it's so hard to keep up with her because she's like low-key kind of fast. So I'm gonna turn on some Hey Bear for her and let her watch it while I unpack the groceries. I'm so happy because all the furniture finally came in for our apartment, so our next video will probably be, uh, like apartment tour, finally. So yeah, I'm so excited. Anyways guys, that is it for today's video. Um, I'm editing it right now. I'm sick right now, so this vlog is kind of going up like a little late, but like it's fine. Um, but yeah, thank you guys so much for watching and I'll see you guys in my next video. Bye guys!
