Toddler Night Routine 2025

Tinky, lady girl. Family photo shoot. How was your day?

Good.

Look at all the houses that are being built. I have about an hour before I have to go pick up Arabella from school today. Today is Tuesday, so she actually goes to her school. Um, but before I leave, I want to do some laundry. So I put her— today I got my nails done, which was really, really fun. But before I left to get my nails done, I put her laundry in the washer. Now let's switch it to the dryer and then get ready to leave. I made panko chicken for lunch today, and I do it in my air fryer, and it comes out so good every single time. But I made too much. I make them in 2 like little nuggets, and oh my God, they're so good. And you don't really even need oil either. I cannot forget Lady Pasi. This is her favorite thing in the world. Hi, lady girl! Excuse the mess, I know it's a disaster in here, but I don't care. Thank you, lady girl. Ah, go get Arabella! Sunglasses on, let's go! Oh, should we put the top down? So fun! Safety first. The thing I really, really, really need to get is a no soliciting sign because today someone that was like selling Beretta, I think, was knocking on our door. And when I tell you my dog dogs go crazy, especially Lady. She's our rescue dog. They go crazy and it gives me anxiety because I was home alone and I didn't know who it was. And I hate when the dogs bark because I feel like someone's trying to break into our home. It gave me anxiety. So I really, really need a no soliciting sign so no one rings our doorbell because I can't live with anxiety. And especially when Arabella is home, she starts to cry because it scares her. So yeah, we need to we definitely need one. So Sam booked me, him, and Arabella a family photo shoot, obviously because we're a family. But it is in, I think, like a week from now, or maybe 2 weeks, I don't really know. But I found on TikTok this really, really cute TikTok page where it has family photo shoot idea outfits, because I did not know the theme that we were trying to go for. I found the cutest little outfit ever, and I recreated it. So I just ordered everything on Amazon. I'm gonna wear a white off-the-shoulder dress and then I'm gonna pair it with my light brown boots. And then Arabella is gonna wear this green plaid dress that I got off of Amazon, and I got her knee-high socks, super cute. I think I'm gonna pair them with her white boots and I think that would be really, really cute. But I'm super excited because last year we didn't really do family photos, we were just super busy, so we're trying to keep it a tradition. We've only done like one family photo shoot and that, I want to say, like 2 years ago. So we gotta, we gotta step up our game. So once those come in, I'll show you guys probably in the next video. I don't know. Also, so today is Tuesday and tomorrow is Wednesday, and Arabella doesn't have to go to, like, we call it real school. Um, we have mommy school, and I'm fighting the urge to go to Disney. I love Disney, and she loves Disney too, and I could just homeschool her at Disney. Only thing stopping me is number 1, the traffic, number 2, the gas. Like, I can do all my work from my phone. I don't have any showings tomorrow. I have nothing scheduled, which is really nice. All I have is like emails, so I can just work from Disney if I wanted to. It's just kind of hard. It's just kind of hard because obviously Disney's not hard to do by myself, but it's hard to drive there by myself, I figured. So I don't know, we'll see. I think Sam's actually off tomorrow. Tomorrow, so we will see. Talk about dinner. I don't think I'm going to be cooking anything for myself for dinner because I had lunch like around 2 and it's 4 right now. I had a late lunch, so— and I know Arabella, she's either gonna want McDonald's or a pasta with white sauce. And Sam got us Chick-fil-A last night, so I don't think I'm gonna get her McDonald's. She calls it Old McDonald's, but we will see. I'm so excited to hear about her day though. Are those your shirts? Where's Arabella's? Hmm, maybe those aren't your shirts because your name's not there.

Say cheese! Jump in!

Are you just stealing coins from me, you little thief? Look at my nails. Do you like them?

Yes.

Awesome, they match your outfit. Dee dee dee dee, jump in your seat.

Hi, Ray. Seat belt.

Safety first. How was your day?

Good.

What'd you do?

I don't know.

Did you play outside?

But we went to Dunkin' Donuts.

Who did?

Me and Daddy.

You guys went to Dunkin' Donuts this morning? What'd you get?

I get donut.

You got a donut?

I got blueberry.

Yum, that's your favorite. Yes. Did Daddy get me a coffee?

Um, no.

Yeah, he got me one. He brought me home one. He's a nice daddy. Oh my goodness. Hey, how was lunch?

Good.

What'd you have?

Um, I don't know.

Did you have steak? I think you did steak and veggies and fruit.

I hear that.

That's an ambulance. Um, did you take a nap today? Yeah, 30 minutes. That's good. Did you play outside? How's Gino?

Good. We have to go on a walk.

When do you want to go on a walk?

Today.

I know, but what time? Today, like right now?

Yes.

Who are we— who are we bringing, Tinky or Lady? Or should we just do me and you?

Lady. Lady?

She's a little crazy though.

Yeah, no, look, I'm— I'm—

we are going to go on our walk that we do almost every single night. Um, just me and Arabella. I don't think we're gonna bring the dogs because Lady is really scared of other vehicles. Let's not do the dogs.

Just me and you, maybe.

And take— so Lady's really scared of cars, which makes it really hard to walk her and push a stroller. And Tank is just really slow and he gets out of breath really fast. So the walk that I want to do is a long walk. Do you want to do the long walk?

Yeah.

Okay, so Arabella's gonna get some snacks, I'm gonna get a drink, and then we're gonna go on a walk. This one, that's a little messy. Let's have that for after dinner.

Wait, I want it.

What is that called?

Sandwich.

What kind of sandwich?

Um, I don't know. Chocolate sandwich.

Oreo sandwich. Let's have that after dinner. You can bring chippies on our walk. If you know me, I am a Diet Coke girl through and through, but lately I've been making dirty sodas. My favorite one has been— my favorite dirty soda right now is the Olipop. We get these and then we mix it with the Chobani Sweet Cream creamer.

Ew!

Yeah, no, it's so good. I know you don't like it, but it's my favorite. I Also, I think tonight I'm actually gonna try this orange cream one and make it dirty. So instead of Diet Coke, we're gonna do the orange cream. We are on our walk right now. We're actually gonna do the longer mile walk today. Um, it's really nice out, it's like 74 degrees. I got my Olipop, Arabella has her snacks. You want to show the snacks?

What do you have? I have— um, dots. You have dots.

So we try to do this every single night, or at least every other night, and it's just a good way to get outside. And now that the weather is a little cooler, we really, really are enjoying it. Typically we bring both Tank and Lady. We'll go just like with Tank and then bring him back to the house the Green Lady. Yeah, my neighborhood is seriously growing so much. There's so many new houses being built, and we love to look at them. The lady is growing, huh? So come along with us. She grows just like you. Yeah, obviously I do real estate, but I'm also getting really into podcasts. I don't have my own, obviously, because I don't know what I would even talk about on a podcast. But I really want to find one that I am obsessed with. I do real estate and I'm obviously a mom, so if you guys have any really good podcasts, let me know of them because I need a new addiction. I need a new addiction. And look at all the houses that are being built. Anyways, I am finishing up Secret Lives of Mormon Wives. Oh my goodness, I had no idea that this show is going to be addicting because I like it a lot. There are a lot of things to talk to her. Um, she does not watch the show, obviously, because it's for adults. You do not watch Secret Lives of Mormon Wives. No, you're not allowed. Yeah, you watch Blippi. Yeah, you do love Blippi. But I'm so excited for season 4 to come out, and I'm really excited for season 3 reunion come out. Um, I think it's supposed to air on December 4th. So good. And I don't really like, like, reality shows at all. The only other reality show I like is Selling Sunset, and even that show I kind of get sick of because it's like the same drama, and it's like no one's focusing on selling houses, it's just drama. Are you looking at your map you got at Disney? You think that's a good idea with your snackies running? Let me see your snackies. Did you eat them all? They look good.

Run, run, run!

Perks about living in a new community. Half of it's not even built, so you get to watch it like really be built and be a part of the story of the community. Okay, so it's 5:33 right now. We just got home. I let the dogs out. We got home from our walk. I'm still drinking my Olipop right now. I think what I'm gonna do is go on Walmart and see what Olipop flavors they have because I kind of I'm gonna try them all now. They're like my favorite. But I'm gonna start dinner pretty soon. I'm gonna ask Arabella what she wants for dinner, which I already know. Arab, what do you want for dinner?

I want pasta.

Pasta with what?

White sauce.

With white sauce, of course. So, and then after dinner we're gonna go upstairs, take a tubby, and read a book, and then bedtime. Oh yeah, what are you eating?

Cookie.

How many are you gonna have?

One.

You literally just brought me these in her mouth. No, you can't have this. This is not— this is not— guys, this is not a treat. It is not a treat. No, ma'am. No, this is not a treat, guys. Let's make Arabella some dinner. She wants pasta with white sauce, so we're gonna make her that. She eats this every single night, so this is nothing new, and I make her it fresh every single night. So let's go. I know this is not a pasta pan, but this heats up the water the fastest, and she only eats a little bit of pasta, so we're using this. Sam says he hates when I make a mess, so let's not make a mess. Um, I also hate cleaning my stove. That's Sam's job because I I don't know how to, even though he showed me like 3 times. I just choose not to.

Yeah, yeah, I like that.

We're doing rigatoni.

Yes. Yeah.

Oh, we need white sauce. That's what we're having for dinner.

We have a pasta and hot pad.

An iPad. You get to watch iPad for a little bit. What kind of pasta is this?

Um, I don't know.

White sauce.

White sauce.

Rigatoni.

Rigatoni.

Rigatoni. And what are you gonna watch, Disney or YouTube Kids? She eats dinner, I'm going to edit this vlog and hopefully get it up and then finish the video when you're done with dinner.

What? Do Mommy home with me?

Do you help Mommy homework? You want to do Mommy homework tonight? Okay, one more bite and then you can be all done. You ate pretty good though. How was it? Good. Our last one. How was it?

Good.

What?

Good.

What's that mean?

I'm just like You wouldn't.

You have chocolate all over your face. Yeah, let me see. Mimi, go, go, go! 7:15. Arabella is gonna take a tubby and then get ready for bed. Get her PJs. Yummy! My hands are not PJs. For the night. You're out of the tubby. Now we're gonna brush your hair and brush your teeth, huh? Now we're gonna watch a movie. What movie are we gonna watch?

Movie?

You are creepy. You look like— you look like you love your hair.

Whoa! Ow!

What movie?

That—

this one. We're watching Descendants. Excited? Arabella is watching her movie upstairs. I am actually making Sam dinner. He's on his way home now. Um, he isn't working his normal shift right now. He's trying out for something in the department, so he really wants these caramelized ravioli, so that's what I'm gonna make them. Just did Sam's pasta, it's cooking now. I let the dogs out, they're in for the night, and now I'm gonna go upstairs and spend time with Arabella. But I want to end the video here. Thank you guys so much for watching, and I'll see you guys in my next video. Bye!
