It’s so hard when you and the kids are sick and then filming for us during your struggles is even harder. Thank you for sharing your experiences because in all honesty, we couldn’t relate more!! It’s motivating to see how you tackle situations!! 👌❤
This was the most relatable intro ever. 😂 I was so close to busting out a Christmas toy today. We’re almost 2 weeks into a sleep regression or teething or something (2 to 3 wakings a night out of nowhere). And we finally got a full nights sleep last night only to refuse every nap today. And I’m running on fumes. I can’t wake up before my son because the second he hears anyone it’s time to start the day. So I just don’t get ready most days. 😂 I don’t know how anyone does it every day.
Thanks for the health tip roundup Nikole! My household is currently hit with the seasonal cold as well and my 11 month old son is in the clingy stage too.I wouldn’t survive it without our hipseat. He loves it and it keeps my shoulders and back happy.
Happy early Christmas to you and your family, Ms. Nikole. Hopefully you have a great time with your family during this season, while stay healthy and be strong too. 😊🙌🌟❤💙
I love all of these natural ideas! i love trying to be more natural ingredient when i can, especially for my almost 2 year old daughter. We also do elderberry drops for her daily to help her immune system stay up.
I was watching this while working out and heard a baby crying, I was like oh my gosh she hasn't finished her fruits and email yet, Oakley is awake already! Then I wondered why she was so still and chill and I realized it was my 10 month old who's waking up from a nap and crying for me! HAHAHAHAHAH
I created baby proofed areas in my house and encouraged independent play. 1 may be too young for him to play on his own for long but if you keep trying, eventually you will be able to have a shower and wash hair while he plays!
Hope everyone feels better x I remember clingy stage too esp when poorly x I still make your citrus shots from an old vlog - sick day when u and Matt lived in the apartment 🥑 ❤ I found when my girls where little (teens & adult now ) if they got sick - I got sick I hate over counter meds and avoid if possible too I use healthNut cookbook for soups and well it’s a great book and never leaves kitchen- constantly in use X
So happy you’re doing a Christmas video! I’m a FTM and I’m excited to spend the holiday with my 6 month old. I’ve been binging your videos in between naps 😅.
I busted out a birthday gift (he’s a Christmas baby) for my little guy because I couldn’t take him outside for daysss because of the weather and felt so weak afterwards haha so glad to know other mommas can relate to that!
Other than the relatable #toddlermom content - yes, make those videos for the mems! You inspired me to make some family vlogs during these first two years of my daughter’s life and I am soooo happy they exist. I don’t care if they only have 9 likes on TikTok! I have the memories forever - and frankly, might not remember that first year postpartum without them. ❤
The garlic is a great tip! I’d say mincing it (using a garlic mincer or a zester) to get it *extremely* small and essentially pre-chewed is better than chopping! It’ll be easier for your stomach to break it down for use (vs swallowing something that isn’t properly chewed). ❤️
@@HealthNutNutritiontotally fair! Didn’t think about the taste ahah. There’s also garlic pills which has like a whole bulb squeezed into one capsule which I love!
My boy was also super clingy. He's definitely a mama's boy. Hated being in any kind of pen as well. I either did everything with 1 hand or just didn't do it until dad was home to help. He is also an early riser and never sleeps past 6am. He's 2.5 now and is a little less clingy now but rarely solo plays, he always wants to be very engaged with us playing so it's still a bit challenging to get stuff done.
Try toum if you don’t want garlic straight. It’s an amazingly yummy spread that’s just garlic emulsified in oil and some lemon juice. It’s sooo good and can go with lots of things. ❤
The exact video I needed. Over here a week in sick with a 16 month old clingy teething ball of emotions now on anitbiotics and In. Our. Bed. Hubby and I are just pulling through on Ibuprofen.
Hi Nikole! Thanks for all your inspiring videos. I wanted to ask if you could make a video relating to your parenting style, discipline, how you deal with tantrums and difficult times when you feel like you are losing your patience. Lol, I'm currently solo parenting my almost 3 year old son, while my husband is working away. It's been tough😂. I'm also 4 going on for 5 months pregnant at the moment. I look forward to your advice ❤ thanks
Giiirl we're all sick too! Small children + winter = inevitable sickness 🤧 Also glad to see I'm not the only one who has to sing The Wheels on the Bus to my one year old to keep him cheerful and get anything done 😂😂😂
My whole family got Covid when my 3rd kid was 5 months old..2 months long Covid sinusitis it triggered hypothyroidism still taking medicine for it. Now baby is 11 months old. Wow those days!!!
2025 videos- day in the life, what I eat in a day, what we eat for dinner in a week, week of school lunches, weekend vlog, baking with Nicole and Sage and Oakley video, q and a's, and grocery hauls
I don't understand why all the influencers are obsessed with supplements. Just drink lemon water, you do not need to spend so much money on vitamin C packs and all of the capsules made in labs. Habits that work? Nicole, you are sick every couple of months, how are these habits working? As someone who hasn't had a flu or a cold for literally years, daily (and I mean daily) lemon water, vitamin d drops and fresh air is the way to go.
I appreciate the supplement recommendations! Where I live, the food quality is not amazing & so my family needs extra support from supplements sometimes.
My boy is up at 5:30am too and yup the only way I can do it without losing MY MIND is waking up at 5am. Lately my body has been waking up at 4:45am and I'm thankful for that!
My husband bought a system to make distilled water at home, so it saves so much on buying plastic jugs it just takes more time because you have to do it yourself. But we just run the humidifier during the night and he makes distilled water during the day
At what age did you start giving Sage Elderberry? Also, you take Elderberry and breastfeed? I wasn’t sure if it was ok to do. I’m so worried about all of us getting sick with the holidays. I have a 5 month old and almost 3 year old and am already eating raw garlic and honey! 😬 Also, we all appreciate how real this video is! ❤ Feel better!
Love that you're keeping it real I have a 3 year old and a 4m old and kids are hard 😂 One thing to keep in mind even for followers watching you should only have 1000mg per day of vitamin C so if you take one of those samples then eat some oranges etc later in the day you can have too much which can cause issues for your body.
We just finished being hit with the stomach flu here. First sickness for me since having my son who is 10 months and MY GOD, having the flu with a breastfeeding baby was a new level of hell.
I got my first cold as a parent to a 5 month old last week. Y’all were not kidding when people say parenting sick is not for the weak. Finally on the mend 10 days later and thankfully my kiddo never got sick. ❤❤❤
My little girl is 22 months old and we’re going through it. She’s definitely entering her terrible 2’s IM SCARED! 😂 plus I have a 3 month old, not as bad but he does love being held by mommy a lot.
Most health products say that because they can’t actually test on pregnant women. Always check with your doctor regardless. I took them because I felt comfortable with it and would rather not get sick.
i have a one year old too currently sick and this is pretty much how my life looks 🤣 ohh and i also have a 4 year old, so add that to the craziness.. Help!
My life right now. I’m 6 months pregnant and I have a 1 year old lol AND IM SO SICK. Only good thing is she isn’t sick but this video is my life lol except with a big belly 😣
No need to add the sad face as judgment but she literally HATES them and she’s also a big dog and doesn’t necessarily need them for short walks. We also avoid salted areas and have her walk on the grass areas then the sidewalk.
Oh and a stainless steel humidifier? I’ve never seen that but very curious! Humidifiers are so helpful but also so frustrating to keep clean. I’m very much on the hunt for one
It’s so hard when you and the kids are sick and then filming for us during your struggles is even harder. Thank you for sharing your experiences because in all honesty, we couldn’t relate more!! It’s motivating to see how you tackle situations!! 👌❤

I can’t wake up before my son because the second he hears anyone it’s time to start the day. So I just don’t get ready most days. 😂 I don’t know how anyone does it every day.
I got an our place air fryer for Christmas and it’s my new favorite thing. Thank you so much for the recommendation! ❤
How are we toddlers moms getting ready: We are not 😢
Agreed! When she asked that I was thinking I didn’t do my makeup or have my hair in more than a pony for 2 yrs if I was home alone with my kid.
Came here to say the same thing 😅
This is so relatable as my 14 month old is sick. Thank you for keeping it real!!!
I hope you and your family feel better very soon❤
Thanks for the health tip roundup Nikole! My household is currently hit with the seasonal cold as well and my 11 month old son is in the clingy stage too.I wouldn’t survive it without our hipseat. He loves it and it keeps my shoulders and back happy.
I told her the same thing. The hip seat is a game changer!
How are you sick and look amazing? Honestly goals. I get so inspired to eat healthier when I watch your vids❤
Happy early Christmas to you and your family, Ms. Nikole. Hopefully you have a great time with your family during this season, while stay healthy and be strong too. 😊🙌🌟❤💙

Really loved and related to this vlog today xoxo tysm for sharing!
1000% agree. I have an almost 4 and almost 2 year old and 1-2 is definitely the hardest age. No words, all feelings 🤪
right? so tough and harder then the "terrible twos"
Mine is only 10 months and girl I feel you, It’s close to impossible!
Hope everyone feels better x
I remember clingy stage too esp when poorly x
I still make your citrus shots from an old vlog - sick day when u and Matt lived in the apartment
🥑
❤
I found when my girls where little (teens & adult now ) if they got sick - I got sick
I hate over counter meds and avoid if possible too
I use healthNut cookbook for soups and well it’s a great book and never leaves kitchen- constantly in use

So happy you’re doing a Christmas video!
I’m a FTM and I’m excited to spend the holiday with my 6 month old. I’ve been binging your videos in between naps 😅.
I love all the REALNESSS💕💕 happy holidays to you and your family!!!
Happy holidays!
This intro is the BEST. LOL. I get ready exactly like you, with one arm haha.
Can you do an indepth video on all your vitamins you have for both you and your kiddos and the reasonings you use them ?
I busted out a birthday gift (he’s a Christmas baby) for my little guy because I couldn’t take him outside for daysss because of the weather and felt so weak afterwards haha so glad to know other mommas can relate to that!

I feel like I remember hearing it’s better to chop it. Also the oils aren’t as strong versus when you use a mincer so I like to do it manually
@@HealthNutNutritiontotally fair! Didn’t think about the taste ahah. There’s also garlic pills which has like a whole bulb squeezed into one capsule which I love!

He's 2.5 now and is a little less clingy now but rarely solo plays, he always wants to be very engaged with us playing so it's still a bit challenging to get stuff done.
I don’t even bother with the pack and plays because he’ll freak out
Try toum if you don’t want garlic straight. It’s an amazingly yummy spread that’s just garlic emulsified in oil and some lemon juice. It’s sooo good and can go with lots of things. ❤
Watching videos like this makes us women feel that we are NOT ALONE!😭🫠
I’m so happy to hear that. It was a little chaotic when filming this and I didn’t even know if I would post it but glad I did!
Merry Christmas Nikole ❤❤❤❤❤❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️
The exact video I needed. Over here a week in sick with a 16 month old clingy teething ball of emotions now on anitbiotics and In. Our. Bed. Hubby and I are just pulling through on Ibuprofen.
The clingy stage is so hard but then we get sad when they don’t want to sit and cuddle 🤪

the daily struggle!
Oh boy, this is great footage.😂 Thanks for sharing the realness!
Any time! Haha
Merry Christmas! What’s the farm you get your meat from?
My whole family got Covid when my 3rd kid was 5 months old..2 months long Covid sinusitis it triggered hypothyroidism still taking medicine for it. Now baby is 11 months old. Wow those days!!!

Do you get vaxxed?
I mean it's paid sponsorships and affiliate links. It's the influencers job to sell us on them. If it's not for you just skip ahead 🤷♀️
I appreciate the supplement recommendations! Where I live, the food quality is not amazing & so my family needs extra support from supplements sometimes.
You should look into canopy humidifier
Thanks I will!
My boy is up at 5:30am too and yup the only way I can do it without losing MY MIND is waking up at 5am. Lately my body has been waking up at 4:45am and I'm thankful for that!

What?! My mind is blown right now!! I didn’t even think to get something like that. Thank you for the tip. Which system do you have?
@HealthNutNutrition I don't know the exact one but it was just off of Amazon. Definitely worth it!
Is vitamins shipping only to Canada or to USA too ?
At what age did you start giving Sage Elderberry? Also, you take Elderberry and breastfeed? I wasn’t sure if it was ok to do. I’m so worried about all of us getting sick with the holidays.

My son is 20 months, and I agree age 1-2 is sooo hard!
As a 13 month old mommy I literally do not wear makeup. Im surviving not thriving lol he keeps me obn my toes and I love it
We just finished being hit with the stomach flu here. First sickness for me since having my son who is 10 months and MY GOD, having the flu with a breastfeeding baby was a new level of hell.
Nikole, pleaseeee which camera do you film your videos on? The quality is so amazing
Can you pls share the organic farm you went to? Im local to the area and would love to purchase organic meat directly from the farm 💕
I got my first cough as a kid when I was 6 or 7 years old.
I got my first cold as a parent to a 5 month old last week. Y’all were not kidding when people say parenting sick is not for the weak. Finally on the mend 10 days later and thankfully my kiddo never got sick. ❤❤❤
It's seriously the worst! Being a parent has been the biggest motivation to keeping my immune system strong. hope you feel better!
Where is your blow brush dryer from?
The struggle is REAL when trying to get ready with a 1 year old🤣I can relate
My little girl is 22 months old and we’re going through it. She’s definitely entering her terrible 2’s IM SCARED! 😂 plus I have a 3 month old, not as bad but he does love being held by mommy a lot.
Apparently those liquid Vit C’s are not recommended during BFing. Haven’t had your brand but all other brands say not to take if BFing 😢
Most health products say that because they can’t actually test on pregnant women. Always check with your doctor regardless. I took them because I felt comfortable with it and would rather not get sick.
What kind of brush dryer do you have?
Dyson airwrap
i have a one year old too currently sick and this is pretty much how my life looks 🤣 ohh and i also have a 4 year old, so add that to the craziness.. Help!
You got this!
That was funny when u said I need to eat dinner but u said no what I'm saying breakfast 😂
Mom brain is brutal
We’re all sick here too. Two weeks in.
Aw no! Feel better soon
@ you guys too ❤️
Why you are not supposed to eat diary when you are sick??
Hello Nicole. Where do you get your meat from
Toddlers are a lot. I don't mind infants but after 12 months is rough for me too!! I don't like the clinginess for kids or husbands 😂
My life right now. I’m 6 months pregnant and I have a 1 year old lol AND IM SO SICK. Only good thing is she isn’t sick but this video is my life lol except with a big belly 😣
It really is so hard being pregnant with a toddler. Sending you so much support 🙏🏻
Try a ring sling
Not me sick right now 🤧
Cashew needs some doggie snow shoes! 🙂↕️
No need to add the sad face as judgment but she literally HATES them and she’s also a big dog and doesn’t necessarily need them for short walks. We also avoid salted areas and have her walk on the grass areas then the sidewalk.
I have to get ready before my kids are up or it’s not happening. With a 2 yo boy it just would not happen lol
Oh and a stainless steel humidifier? I’ve never seen that but very curious! Humidifiers are so helpful but also so frustrating to keep clean. I’m very much on the hunt for one
I feel like if I do this I’d have to wake up at 5 🙃
@@HealthNutNutrition ugh, so tough having a super early riser.
@@HealthNutNutrition that was the same in my case, my 2 year old would wake at 5 sometimes 😱
I just don’t get ready haha
I tried eating garlic before when i was sick. I ended up throwing up☠
Don’t do it on an empty stomach maybe that’s why? Not sure
I love eating raw onions and garlic on a sandwich
Why don't you just send Oakley to daycare
He’s still too little I’m not ready to yet. Probably more when he’s two
I’d rather spend money for Starbucks 😊
Knowing all the crap they put in Starbucks coffee I don'r get it anymore. Home made coffee is the best imo anyway.
Sick? Vitamin D3. Fatigue? Vitamin D3. Mental fog? Vitamin D3.
It’s truly the best
Why you always service freezer food to your baby? Can’t you able to cook fresh? It won’t take that much time!!!
Yes I cook fresh food all the time and then I cook extra and freeze it and serve it later 🙄
