00:26🎵 It's like a winding time 🎵
00:32Good morning guys. Welcome back to the vlog and welcome back to the cottage.
00:36We have a very, very big day. If not two days, probably two days.
00:41I am literally starting at the front of the property, working all the way through the house, all the way back,
00:48and cleaning and organizing and assessing everything.
00:52We're also kind of like gathering and picking up anything that could be harmful for the baby, of course.
00:59Cottage is not a construction site. It is very much in the pretty stages,
01:04with a little bit of bigger projects here and there, like doors and door frames in the back of the house and stuff.
01:12But where the baby's gonna be, where we're gonna be, is in the 95% finished area, which is good.
01:20And during the day, he's gonna be with my mom. So when we're making loud noise and doing things in the house,
01:26he's not going to be here. So we need to get the house clean. We need to get it somewhat baby-proofed.
01:32He's not even moving yet. Like, I don't know. He's not even crawling or anything. He's just sitting up.
01:37So it's good right now. We don't need to do like a ton, like cover the outlets and stuff like that yet.
01:43But we will, eventually. Like, it's probably not a good idea to have a ladder leading up, you know, in the living room.
01:50You know, like it was fine when it was just me and Romeo, but now you have to think a little differently.
01:55But like, real talk for a second. So right now it is 11.37 a.m. I'm getting a little bit of a later start
02:01because we are still adjusting the baby to Texas time. So the difference between Texas and California is two hours.
02:08So Texas is two hours ahead. So when he's waking up at 9 a.m., it's really his 7 a.m.
02:14So I'm trying to get him two hours advanced and earlier so that he starts waking up at 7 a.m. Texas time.
02:23So I've been shifting his bedtime 30 minutes every day, every night, so that I can get him kind of on the schedule.
02:28So we're to 8 o'clock now. So by the time we wake up and I get him settled and I get ready for the day
02:34and I get out of there and stuff like that, it's now 11.30.
02:38We're going to be setting like a really good schedule and a new routine when he's on an advanced schedule,
02:44when he's back on his 7 o'clock. So I'm going to be down here working until 5.45 tonight.
02:50This is going to be the longest that I've been without the baby. He's with my mom and dad.
02:54My dad's actually going to come over and help me with my car.
02:57If you've been following for a while, you know that I drove my car down here.
03:00It's just been sitting and I want to fix it up. I want to sell it because it's a sports car.
03:05It has two doors. It's a two-door coupe. How are you supposed to put a baby in a two-door coupe?
03:10Life is just looking a lot different these days and it's in good condition still.
03:15My dad's going to help me fix it up and we're going to sell it and that's going to be really good.
03:19So I have a rental truck right now. So I'm going to set an alarm.
03:23I'm going to set a 5.30 alarm so that I can like pick up and kind of finish up what I'm doing.
03:29Literally going to be the longest that I've been away from him. You guys like I don't know.
03:32I'm going to laugh if I'm already back at my mom's with the baby before 5.45.
03:38It's going to be really funny. Okay, we've got our 5.30 alarm set.
03:59Guys, someone is the opposite.
04:02Oh you guys I'm remembering how dirty and sweaty and
04:31and like caught up. I used to get working out here.
04:37I had a lot to do outside. The deck looks so good.
04:42It's so good. It needed a really good scrubbing.
04:45So welcome to my new workout. Remembering how much cardio and exhaustion like I would just work down here all day every day.
04:52I did no other exercise besides this cottage and I felt so good.
04:56I was so strong at times. I pushed it too much and I felt like like fatigued and stuff.
05:01But we're trying to do that where I think the balance of like life and working at the cottage now with the baby is going to keep me kind of like a healthy working down here instead of the extreme version that it used to be.
05:12So I don't get so fatigued and so tired texted my mom to see how how baby was doing.
05:19She's she's been sending me pictures and a video.
05:25Trying to get him to say mama.
05:28He hasn't said his first word yet.
05:33He's doing his mouth like this.
05:37Hi. He didn't really say it.
05:40So cute. Okay. I am sweating and so dirty already.
05:46I'm wearing a white shirt. That's all I had. I'll get I'll get into my work clothes.
05:49I just want to clean the outside windows really quick and then I can come inside and start working inside.
06:17I have to work from the top down.
06:20So I'm going to like go around the crown molding, you know, like clean that clean all the tops of all the trim, all the lights and then work my way down the bookshelves and then hit the furniture and the coffee table.
06:36And then the last thing when all of the top down is done, I will do the floors because that's gonna be the very last thing.
07:06Every year.
07:36Oh my gosh, you guys.
07:49My alarm is going off.
07:50My five, my five thirty alarms going off.
07:53Wrap up at the cottage.
07:57So we have 15 minutes before I had to head out.
08:00So I'm going to wrap this up.
08:03I have successfully done the patio and the living area is almost done.
08:10I mean, I feel like this was a lot.
08:11This was a big room to tackle.
08:13I mean, all of the shelves, all the decor, everything and put everything back and the lights and everything top down.
08:19So this was quite a lot.
08:20I feel like the kitchen might be a lot, too, but not too much.
08:23But I want to wash everything, like all of our dishes, all of our stuff.
08:27I want to clean out the refrigerator.
08:29But I mean, there's no food in there or anything, but I want to clean it really well so that we can stock it and have groceries.
08:35We don't really have a lot to eat out here.
08:37And have I timed it right?
08:38Cade should be down for his nap at five thirty so I can go back.
08:43I can shower and then I can just be with him for the night.
08:46I can organize my footage after he goes to sleep just so that I stay really organized and ahead.
08:51That would be ideal.
08:59OK.
09:10Right on time, you'll accomplished a little bit to get the trash.
09:15New day tomorrow.
09:16Good morning, guys.
09:18It's the next morning.
09:19It is cold.
09:23You can never tell what the weather.
09:25I mean, really anywhere.
09:26Like it was sunny and 80 something degrees yesterday and today it's like cold and cloudy.
09:32I think we're getting like a rain spell.
09:35So I'm really glad I worked outside yesterday.
09:37So now it's all about prioritizing cleaning the inside.
09:42Allergies have like ignited.
09:44It's a combination of like cleaning like dust and stuff.
09:47And also I have cedar fever really bad when I'm here.
09:52The cedar trees are still pollinating right now until the end of February.
09:56And around this time like I get it.
09:58I didn't have it the first year I spent a lot of time here.
10:01But they say that it's like you develop the allergy to the cedar trees.
10:07It's the worst.
10:09And I had every intention on moving Cade's sleep time up, you know, 30 additional minutes last night.
10:17And he just kind of like took care of it for me.
10:19He is now on Texas time.
10:21I think he woke up at 655 this morning.
10:24So that's his seven o'clock time, you know, and so he went down pretty early.
10:28Which means he was probably tired, which means he had a lot of fun and played a lot with my parents.
10:33So that's really good.
10:35I need to set kind of a new routine and a new schedule when we start staying and sleeping at the cottage.
10:42So by the time you see this, I'll already be there.
10:49So today my goal is to tackle the rest of the house.
10:52Starting in the kitchen and the dining room and working my way back.
10:55I already got the washer working.
10:59I was going to start it yesterday, but we had it when it freezes here, it can do some damage.
11:05And it cracked the on and off kind of section of our water softener.
11:10And so when I turn on our water, it like spewed everywhere.
11:13So that was the whole thing I had to deal with yesterday.
11:16Ordered the part.
11:17So I was able to bypass that section to get the water on.
11:21So it's still softening the water, which is good.
11:23But we have really hard, harsh water here.
11:26So we have a water softener.
11:27So I didn't turn the water on until later.
11:29So started the wash today.
11:30So we're getting all of the cushion covers washed.
11:33Like literally everything.
11:34Everything fabric that I can wash is getting a quick wash.
11:38It's going through.
11:39I don't quite know what to do with all of my stuff that I laid out.
11:44So if you guys saw the online pop-up shop, I had come here in October and I had laid all of this stuff out.
11:50And I was like, oh, this can just stay here because I'm going to work on it when I get back.
11:54So it's still true, but I don't want to have to move all of this stuff.
11:58And we're going to go through and I have to go through and clean all of this stuff before I get it listed.
12:02So I'm going to clean around what's on the table, but I'm going to put the bins and get it all really organized.
12:09And I'm washing all of the drapes and stuff.
12:12These drapes are actually temporary.
12:14We just got them for privacy purposes.
12:17I want something more intentional.
12:19I'm going back and forth between wanting rods and stuff because I don't want to cover up all of the trim work.
12:24And that's essentially what will happen if I have curtain rods and stuff.
12:28But we would keep them open and maybe could have a shear.
12:30I don't know.
12:31I like privacy on the front of the house because that's where the street, you know, it's street facing.
12:35So everything else is super private, but I like having privacy back here.
12:40Okay, let the cleaning commence.
12:56Wash all of Kimberly's babies.
13:10Wash all of her babies.
13:40Okay, update on the donkey.
13:58Donkey has gotten a hold of a Amazon box.
14:04I don't think there was anything in it.
14:06I think it was an empty box, although I did see Amazon yesterday.
14:09But I think he has torn it up and had the most fun doing it.
14:16But now there's shreds of the box all over.
14:20But I have not heard him or her.
14:23I have not heard him yesterday or today.
14:26Not once.
14:27So maybe it was just that first day.
14:29We're going crazy.
14:31Okay, I set an alarm on my phone to go off at one o'clock.
14:35So we've now been cleaning for a few hours, and I'm making really good progress.
14:39There's a difference between surface cleaning and deep cleaning.
14:42I am deep cleaning.
14:44Baseboards, trim, making everything make sense, too.
14:48Like, where does this go?
14:49What is this?
14:50Making, you know, piles and like what to do with stuff.
14:53So it's a lot.
14:55But I set an alarm at one so that I can stop to eat because my mom cooked last night.
15:01And then she made me like a little chicken and broccoli to go.
15:05So I'm like, okay, I'm going to make sure because yesterday I was down here and I didn't stop.
15:09And I was like, okay, that's not good.
15:11I have to stay fueled, you know.
15:14But we don't have a microwave at the cottage.
15:17On purpose.
15:18I don't like microwaves.
15:20But you do tend to use them for certain things.
15:23I just cleaned the stove and everything all up in it, everything.
15:28And I also have it running, the oven part, because we never did that.
15:32We never used the oven part.
15:34Honestly, I didn't understand the oven.
15:36But now that we have this oven in California, I understand the oven.
15:39I know how to use it.
15:41So I'm running it for a few hours to burn everything off, you know, before the baby's here.
15:46Like just to like burn everything off.
15:49They just say to do that with the first use.
15:51I'm not going to cook gas.
15:54I have been encountering this so much.
15:56I thought I was going to cook.
15:57But no, I have to call the gas company and have the gas turned back on.
15:59Because they were doing some work on it recently.
16:01And they told me, when I talked to them, they told me to call and have it turned on.
16:05So I have to do that on Monday.
16:08It's Sunday.
16:09So okay, blame me not doing this.
16:11This is clean.
16:13Oh, or resorting back to the old days.
16:16What is this called?
16:17Tabletop kind of cooker kind of thing.
16:20So I'm going to eat really fast.
16:26And then keep heading that way.
16:28I need to do the island.
16:30And then I'm going to run all the dishes.
16:31And then just kind of go through the pantry.
16:33There's stuff back there that like, I don't know.
16:37We don't have any organization.
16:39So it's all kind of sitting on the floor.
16:41I need to either just like put it in bins for now.
16:44Because I have some extra bins.
16:45Like just so it's stacked nicely.
16:47Because like we don't use it.
16:48But it's just like all over the floor.
16:50So I want to try and organize that really well.
16:52Then the front part of the house is done.
16:54I can move into the entry.
16:56And then go back into the bathroom and stuff like that.
17:17Temporary.
17:36So things are up off the floor.
17:47Okay.
17:57My alarm just went off to wrap up.
17:59It feels so clean in here.
18:01Like I am making tons of progress.
18:02The entire front portion of the house is done.
18:06Except for mopping.
18:08So all back here.
18:10All back here.
18:11All the dining room.
18:12All the living room.
18:13I washed all the curtains.
18:15I washed all the pillows.
18:16All the pillowcases.
18:18Got them all reassembled.
18:19Vacuumed everything.
18:21Like major.
18:23It's only going to take up a notch when I mop and stuff.
18:26I just want to do that last.
18:27I also started like clothes laundry too.
18:30Because I was just like going through and washing everything.
18:32So tomorrow it continues.
18:33It's a Super Bowl today.
18:35So my dad's going to grill burgers.
18:37And I'm going to go hang out with baby.
18:38It's Sunday today.
18:40So I'll be down here in the morning again to keep working.
18:42And then once I get it cleaned I can start on projects.
18:45I kind of think tonight where I for sure, for sure want to start.
18:48I have an idea.
18:50But I need to like make a list of like supplies I need and stuff like that.
18:54So I want to measure these windows again to start thinking about window treatments.
18:59Like permanent window treatments for this wall.
19:02Because I'd love to do some kind of like floor to ceiling type things on this.
19:07On these windows.
19:08I think that would be really, really pretty.
19:09Music playing.
19:25You guys, I have been cleaning for days.
19:29Days!
19:31I thought it would take two days.
19:33It has been four and a half straight days of cleaning.
19:38In the last four days I have literally done stuff that I should have done before I even left.
19:42You know to get pregnant and have the baby.
19:44But really, realistically is anyone going to do that?
19:47No!
19:48Like out of sight out of mind.
19:50Like I was like I'm not going to organize this stuff.
19:52I'm not going to go through the stuff in the pantry.
19:54I'm not going to make sense of anything.
19:56I'm just going to leave it all right where it is.
19:57And then when I get back, when we get back to renovations I'll go through it.
20:01And that's what I've had to do.
20:03This place is spotless from ceiling to floor.
20:08Like spotless.
20:10So I have it all like perfect.
20:13Like even back to the bedroom.
20:14Like everything.
20:16Okay, with one exception.
20:18I lied.
20:19I have not done this room.
20:22This room has so much stuff in it I don't even know where to begin.
20:25So this is going to be something that I tackle like along the way.
20:29And when Romeo gets here too we'll kind of go through this stuff.
20:31Because we both have kind of things in here.
20:34And this is kind of like my work shift office too.
20:37Like I have my kind of office here.
20:40So I'd like to get that set up again so that I can edit in here.
20:43While Romeo and the baby are in the living room and stuff like that.
20:46Like on my days where I have computer work to do.
20:49So ideally it would be good.
20:51This is also where I have all of my stuff that I've been collecting.
20:56Then I want to go through again to see like okay.
20:58Am I going to use this in the cottage like design.
21:01When I'm decorating or not.
21:03And we can put the rest on the pop-up shop.
21:05This is all like really great stuff.
21:06That's a big like to-do list item.
21:09Is to like work on the next launch of stuff.
21:13But like I have cleaned everything.
21:15Deep clean.
21:17This room has been to work.
21:20I have washed everything.
21:22And the bedroom looks so good.
21:24The guest bedroom and then like the back patio.
21:26Are the only two things that I haven't done yet.
21:30Patio needs to be blown off.
21:31And I need to organize my tools and stuff.
21:33And think since this is taking me so long just inside.
21:36Getting it ready for us to like live here and be here.
21:40I'm just going to like clean as I go.
21:43You know like dedicate like an hour a day.
21:46Or something at the end of every day.
21:48And like pick a spot and organize and clean.
21:51That'll keep me going.
21:53Because if I spend so much time.
21:55I'm just like spending all of my time cleaning.
21:58And I haven't really done anything.
22:00But I'm like washing all of our clothes.
22:03That I still have here.
22:05So that it's all of my work clothes.
22:07And my like nicer clothes too.
22:09That I can wear.
22:10Because I didn't bring too much.
22:11I'm literally in my like sleep shirt.
22:14It's been quite a chore.
22:15But we are ready.
22:16I wanted to get it perfect.
22:18And all the lights on and stuff.
22:20So that I could film the tour.
22:21That's what I'm going to work on right now.
22:23What time is it right now?
22:24It's 3.35.
22:26So I have a little bit.
22:27I'm going to do the walk through tour.
22:28Like b-roll and pretty footage and stuff.
22:30And I have my stabilizer.
22:32I'm going to do that.
22:33While we have great sunlight.
22:34It's been pouring down rain the last two days.
22:38It's been pouring down.
22:39Misty.
22:40Pouring down rain.
22:41Super cold.
22:42But today the sun came out.
22:43So it's like looks really pretty in here.
22:45So I want to make sure that I do my footage that I need.
22:47So I'm going to do that right now.
22:51So I'm going to do that right now.
