I love how she understands that Jackson just needed to be left alone and didn't force him to be happy
Braydon the tuber 1 I think she means like not saying stuff like “cheer up” or “stop being moody” or telling him off
I was your 1k like
Braydon the tuber 1 hispanic parents find a way
I wish my mom was like that...
@Braydon the tuber 1 My mom would have yelled at me until I stopped being moody (It didn't make sense and never worked)
Hannah: just an amazing mom
Matt: just an amazing dad
Jackson: just an adorable son
Wyatt: just an icon
Cristian P AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
Exactly
Brass monkey funky munky - wyatt
T R U E 😂
@@cristianp3580 NO.
Jackson: *Becoming more emo and sad and moody and his voice is growing up*
Also Jackson: *Thinks that cracking eggs and spreading egg shells on soil would grow eggs*
Lol
*Looks at scribbles*
"What is that?"
" DAS A POTATOE. "
I was crying!!!! Lmaoooo
That’s the best potato I have ever seen.
He can draw a better looking patato then me
I love how he sounded so offended that she did not recognise his “potatoes” 😂
9:09
“as he’s getting older, he’s getting a little more emo” that, my friend, is what we like to call a mood
Yes
Yes QUEEN
cats!atthedisco yes, iconic.
I c o n I c
cats!atthedisco or a growing human being who is learning to navigate his emotions without lashing out at others etc
Jackson thinking that crushing egg shells into the garden would grow eggs is the cutest thing ever 😭
Kira I
Kira well maybe it would turn into eggplants lmao
(Jk)
Speaking of Jason is he OK?
😂 True
YES
I love how she says I’m the worlds ok-est mom but when her kids grow up they’re gonna realize they had an amazing mom ❤️
Helen she means that she says ok to everything, not that she’s an ok mom. She’s amazing
@@eveisla that's not what she means at all
evie kinz no she means shes an ok mom
@@eveisla that's not what she means
@@kingmac6638 it IS what she means
I think we can all relate to emo Jackson
Yasss no kidding!
*PRANKSTER JACKSON HAS LEFT THE CHAT*
*EMO JACKSON HAS JOINED THE CHAT*
Lol

“Thats a potato “ I lost it 😂
I went back and listened three times to be sure I heard it right! Loved it so much
Meme it😂
Jovany Mota a potatoe flew around my room before you came in
9:11
Me too that was the highlight of the whole video!
It’s not a real mum vid if Wyatt doesn’t make an iconic quote
wait but did Jackson bring back the wrap?
miguel I think if he didn't we wouldn't see him for the rest of the video.
miguel I thought he didn’t and that’s why he was sad later in the video😭😭
He was emo before that scene
I need to know
So did Jackson throw out the Beeswax paper??
I was waiting to find out too!
No cause she said I was hoping he wouldn’t. Which means he didn’t
Jorja Boyd But yeah but she said she hoped tho, that doesnt mean he didn’t
Jennifer Huang thanks 👍
Omg
But did Jackson bring home the bees wax sandwich wrapper? 😄
I was asking myself the same thing!! That's eating me alive hahaha
She comments in the video if he was to throw it away there would have been a problem, so it seems by her statement that it wasn’t thrown away after all 🤔
Heather D “would have been a problem” so she was saying that he did bring it home.
He did
The mom : Wyatt what is this?
Wyatt: that’s a PoTATO
Me 😂
I was cryingggggg
“The mom” is Hannah
"the mom" has a name and "the moms" name is hannah
haley eakes why are you getting so triggered about them calling Hannah the mom? She is the mom. Even if her name is Hannah, it’s not that big of a deal.
@@AwArr0
Eggs-Actly!
Beeswax wraps are super easy to make, just need pretty fabric (can be bought with no packaging) and beeswax you can usually find in blocks or pellets at the local farmers market with no packaging as well. Just melt the wax on top and it's super cheap to make a ton of wraps!
Jessica Raine wow this is interesting.
Jessica Raine you can also cut up old T-shirts and make them out of those! Super easy and helps save resources
You guys just saved me like $50 and several weeks of waiting for beeswax wraps to arrive! Thanks!
I’ll try that thanks
Loveee this idea! 👏🏻
Emo Jackson 😂😂 I love it. Very relatable
Shelby Miller Jackson: it’s not a phase mom !
Jim what!?
Lili Bella another buzzfeed crew does ghost investigations and Hannah had them investigate their house because her and Jackson have seen ghosts
And then they found out the most active room were Jackson room
Shelby Miller oh ok thx for the info
"Thats a potato" Omg Wyatt is sooo cute
oK MATT IS SO SUPPORTIVE WTF SO SWEET
FILL THOSE TRASH BAGS ALL THE WAY UP OMGEE YIKES
Davis Chenault omg I was just thinking that
in our city they put a fat tax on trash bags so yeah yikes
Don't be rude they're doing there best u just judging a book by its cover .example. I could call u a robber bc u hv a lot scars and expensive products like gucci but u proberly accusly a v erry kind hearted person sorry for being rude just hope u see my reasoning do kinda agree but yea there are two sides to this ☺
@@brookeeels3704 I couldn't understand a single word you said, this is just one long sentence.
Brooke Eels it’s just called a person who is successful in life unlike you and I not spending too much time on TH-cam. You just don’t have a life. Everyone is allowed to have their opinion, so let them have their opinion. Your allowed to have your opinion too but not when your not letting someone else have their opinion. 😡
You get bread from the bakery and meat from the butcher's and bring your own (reusable) wrapper or lunch box or tupperware to transport it home. Easy peasy.
And, ugh, my German heart wept when you threw the content of the waste jar all into *one* trash can. In Germany, you meticulously sort your trash.
In the US it’s hard to find shops like that. Most places to get food are supermarkets, which use a lot of packaging. In my town, there is only one stand alone butcher shop and no stand alone bakeries. I guess it’s a cultural difference. I wish the US was more like Europe because of this!
PotterheadGeeK7 it’s the same in Sweden
@@margaretlyons9494 I can't believe you guys don't have butchers, fishmongers, bakery and markets! Here in Greece city centres are filled with them, you can't avoid them! Also we have markets almost constantly, and their location about the city/area will change day by day on a weekly cycle.
Even our supermarkets, many of which are family owned ( of course we still have big chains in every city, but what I'm going to say still applies to these) have a proper butchers section and many a bakery.
But the actual butchers, fishmongers and bakeries give a nice community vibe. Shame you don't have them
In Brazil we have butcheries and bakeries too, they use plastic bag but it's all negotiable, customer's never wrong.
Canada is LOADED with butchers and bakeries ❤️ love being able to get fresh foods for minimal waste. I run a food prep business so I try really hard to sort all the trash and food scraps
I love how Jackson thought that when you cracked up the egg shells and spread them on the soil they would grow eggs😂

I feel like lush would be good for zero waste because of its "naked" products
I think Ladylike used some Lush products when they did their zero waste beauty.
It is but lush is quite expensive
Good idea
@@princessaurora6060
Yeah. But the prices are understandable.
Perfect for Wyatt
You can recycle those cardboard boards from the reusable produce bags. Waste free people still recycle.
Don't think they know that but in some jurisdictions that stuff is not recyclable. If their city is cheap and sells to China, that stuff ain't recyclable. They'll only take clean Kraft cardboard with no printing on it.
i didn’t know that! that’s actually really interesting... thanks for the intel
Mom in progress is the only thing i watch in buzzfeed 🙂
She should make her own channeell
Same now that buzzfeed unsolved moved to its own channel and same with try guys
Haileydoesgameplay try guys is independent! So not part of buzzfeed :)
Right, it's the only thing worth watching from BuzzFeed.
She’s the only think that I like from buzzfeed and puppy prep (sadly I think that’s ended 🙁)
Hannah! You can try getting zero waste meat if you go to the butcher shop. They might look at you weird for bringing your own containers but at least you'll remain zero waste :)
trying to lower your impact by eating meat is a little hypocritical
@@ZaneTaylorMusic you are clearly vegetarian/vegan. I will admit, meat from big stores like walmart or costco may not be ethically sourced or local, but from a butcher shop, at least you can ask where it came from, what the animal was fed and how it was treated.
I agree that local farms can provide a better quality of life, but that still doesn't reduce the amount of food and water it takes to feed a cow until they're fully grown.
@@ZaneTaylorMusic what about people that water their lawn, you hate those people too?
Wow some people clearly didnt do their research... @zane is right, mabye you could do a bit more research before you judge
The fact you reduced your waste so much just for a week is awesome especially as a family keep it up ❤
Hannah: “what is that?”
Wyatt: “dats a potato”
Me:😂😂😂😂😂😂
Ok but can we talk about how goals Hannah’s hair is
Add essential oils to your cleaner to make it smell nice!! Certain essential oils can also double as bug repellent too. HOWEVER, do research as some can harm your furry friends.
I let orange or lemon peels soak in vinegar to infuse the vinegar with the citrus oils. It makes it clean better and smell a bit better. I also add citrus oils to my cleaning vinegar sometimes.
Most essential oils come in containers that will go into the landfill so i would encourage looking into companies that will refill or make your own
mlms at its finest
@@lvke7011 some people enjoy Essential oils without being involved with mlms.
@@rebeccamartin1858 hopefully, anytime i have seen "essential oils" its a mlm, or a pyramid scheme, sorry for the confusion but i never meant that oils and stuff are bad.
I love her approach to upset children instead of forcing them to tell her she just gives them space and lets them come to her
Hannah: This seems like a lot of trash
Me: *sweating nervously* god I'm disgusting
You can roast pumpkin seeds instead of throwing them away also they are really yummy 😋!!!!
Mm. I put some creole seasoning on them and pepper. Sometimes i give them a toss in olive oil,Dijon mustard,and a lil dill and rosemary
Salted roasted pumpkin seeds are my favorite part of carving pumpkins on Halloween. What's not to love?
Mmm. With a little bit of season salt
Hairstyles by Anna yep that’s what my family does after carving pumpkins!
*_VERY_*
Emo Jackson is a mood
Two-Face yup a daily mood😹😿
yep
yuhh
9:09 thank you for drawing me
Lmao
I love how supportive Matt is for/in videos.
I can never be zero waste because I already am trash
same
Yeah but remember you are organic, you could be easily composted.
Nemi- Ru not with all the MSG, chemicals and hormones from the junk crap I eat
oof. that's a major mood
You can reuse the takeout containers we have a ton of free 'Tupperware'
Thats not too healthy. Not with the sof plastic like the containers you get from take away or like bottles. The plastik melts with timw and releases toksins. So its ok for a few uses but should be thrown out after that. Sadly
@@anasuncana What if you only use for cold stuff? Then the plastic doesn't melt. I don't put super thin bowls in the microwave because they get to bendy.
@@SAK556 its not like actual melting its like little layers of plastic sort of fall of the edge and into your food. For example using the same plastic bottle for a long time is also not good. I mean its not deadly but its not ideal.
@@anasuncana Oh well. I have used same tupperware for years and am ok.... so i shall continue
@@anasuncana
I don't use it for hot food.
If my uncooked cheese and eggs are hot I have bigger problems then trying to get free Tupperware 😁
I also use the cool looking ones (some local businesses containers are different colors) I use them when I give away cookies (red and green containers)
To be able to ice the cookies (which I do) they have to be cold.
I know all about the poisoning of certain plastics I never microwave in them that's what microwave-safe plates and bowls are for...
09:07
Hannah : Wyatt what are you making?
Wyatt : That's a potato 🥔
Hahahahahahahaha I died laughing 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
How did u write this comment, then.
Fluffythebunny Floof ball wow u really did that 😂😂😂
Life Fades yes I did
Hannah : "at this point I have no shame anymore,you know?"
Same girl same...
Am I the only person to think she is coolest person ever? She has a husband and sweet children that love her, plus she is good at her job and she gets to work buzzfeed?! So jealous!!! 🤦🏼♀️💜🤦🏼♀️💜🤦🏼♀️💜 love u girl 💜💜💜
Any thing that can be recycled, meaning you reuse at home or send to a center doesn't truly count as waste. So the cardboard parts of packages count as recycling. Same thing with paper.
JustRonnie K I don’t disagree with you, but I’d like to point out that to make these things and to recycle them they often use fuel, so unfortunately recycling isn’t 100% perfect for the environment. Buying things with reusable containers is is a lot better.
Aren't people really worried about using paper though because of deforestation?
The whole food thing is recyclable and when you bought takeout, the bowls that they gave you are reusable. Reason: let’s say you want to give some food to your friends and you have nothing to put it in, use the leftover takeout bowls and then they can keep it instead of using your glass containers and then have to return it.
This is the beauty of going zero waste. It is a gradual transition as you learn and adjust. No one is perfect and as long as you make a solid attempt it is better than no doing anything.
Try living $5 A day..per person
(Edit: Thanks so much for the likes, hope they do it soon :) )
I don’t see how that is possible but it would be interesting.
Clint Woodley that’s possible lol
Clint Woodley I live on $5/day and often only end up spending $3/day. It is very easy if you're vegan.
Speaking Truth yeah true 😂
Our low impact family spends about $2/day per person. It's not hard once you cut plastic packaging & meat
so how uhm.... how is your creepy house?
It's fine now, check her insta
gabdominates can’t find anything?
Danielle Is that why Jackson is 'emo' now ??😶😂
They believe that the house is haunted, go onto buzzfeed unsolved and look for Hannah's house
It was just for show... now it is declared not haunted.
That was the most beautiful potato I have ever seen
“What is that wyatt “? ... “ a potato “ literally the cutest thing ever😭😍
Gabbie just did this she went to lush for her shampoos and wash stuff because they have the little tins for the soaps that you can bring back and put new bars in it just for future reference ☺️ also some grocers have the area where you get fresh cut meats and you can go to that counter with your own container and get meats like chicken beef etc. They may look at you weird but they should do it.
Wondering why you didn't try to recycle the cardboard and aluminum foil instead of tossing it in the bin.
Edit: Not to say that I'm not amazed by the effort and how much you accomplished, its just that last little bit shouldn't have been that much more effort.
Also, the takeout containers looked recyclable to me. When I get take out they usually have the recycle symbol.
Raquel Ramon it depends what the number inside of the symbol is as to whether it can actually be recycled
Some of the takeout containers could’ve also been re used.
@@caitlynaasman284 i have a stock of takeout containers (esp the soup ones) that I use for leftovers and/or bulk shopping. The soup containers are honestly so easy to take to the bulk store bc they nest so well when empty, so they dont take up a bunch of room if I dont fill them.
Doesn't recycling cost money yo get it picked up
I love she actually understands thay jackson wants to be alone sometimes and doesnt force him to be happy
oh, don't mind me. I am just rewatching every single Hannah-Video unti there's a new one.
Some tips for food! For fast food: bring your own plates and cups/bottles. Also im from canada and we have a store called bulk barn where food, snacks, pasta, and ingreidents are in giant contanors and you scoop out how ever much you want and put it your own resuable bag and they weigh how much you picked and charge you that way. Also local bakerys and stuff have bread and you can bring your own bag to put it in
ash I love bulk barn 😍🤤
A significant amount of grocery stores here in the US have bulk bins.
I miss bulk barn 😭😭😭😭😭
I'm from the States, but I have to say I LOVE Bulk Barn. Closest thing to me would be Whole Foods' bulk bins. (Fairway has them too, but WF has more variety.)
@@averycee5192 thats true, i forgot about those!
Whole Foods has compost collection programs in many large cities (and possibly smaller ones too) FYI! No need to go to shady meetups to drop off your organic waste :)
My town collects compost the same way they collect garbage. We have equal size garbage bins, compost bins and recycling bins. Maybe one day it'll be something more governments will do!
You can make a small composting bin at home with a five gallon bucket. So you take a 5 gallon bucket, and drill lots of small holes into it, except for the lid. You start it with a little bit of mulch and little tree trimmings and grass cuttings. About every other day, roll it around on the ground. After a little bit, you can put food scraps into it. You will want to put eggshell cartons in it, as it will help stabilize the moisture. This will turn into dirt that is very nutritious for plants. You can up size this by drilling holes in a metal trash can, but use bungee cords to hold on the lid when holding. Corrine from Threadbanger has a really good video about this.
I've rewatched this so many times just to hear Wyatt's famous words,
"That's a potato!"
9:11 “that’s a potato!” hahahahah
😂
I love this series! No aspiring pop stars or actors, just an ordinary lady living her best life with her family, it's refreshing. I'm really invested in their shenanigans and her kids are so sweet!
This outro was the best I’ve seen from Hannah! I wanna be like her when I grow up!! Love it
Does she ... recycle?
Cause she keeps acting like she can’t recycle paper and that worries me.
Not paper towels or plastic wrapped cardboard
If it touches grease or food, you can’t recycle it, unfortunately. Does she compost? That might help.
Holly Wisniewski paper towel is recyclable
@@jeannebrdt not if you use ot for the intended purpose. 99% of the time they get wet, greasy or dirty.
Ew there are Humans As in compost
Tip: Don’t use vinegar on quartz/granite/marble countertops - it ruins them over time.
Oh thanks
All of your cardboard and most of your plastic can be sent to a recycling facility. I dont know about the states, but in Canada, most major supermarkets have large bins set up in their back lots for customers to use for their recycling. You're plastic take out containers can be washed and used for holding small, loose objects like Lego, pencils and marbles. Paper towel are actually compostable. Instead of getting meat from a grocery store, go to a butcher. You can bring your own glass/plastic or bees wax wrap containers for them to pack your meat in.
I'm in Canada and I've never heard about the recycling bins at grocery stores lol.
I absolutely love Hannah and her mother skills. Such a beautiful and positive role model xoxo
I love this woman so much! She's such an amazing mother and the boys are gonna be so grateful when they grow up
I think Jackson just needed a nap. No matter what age you are, sleep always fixes everything. ♡
How come it won't fix my grades, life, financial issues, and how tired I am though?
For the pumpkin compost stuff, I always make roasted pumpkin seeds, you dry them overnight then, put olive oil, salt, pepper, and paprika. Then put them in the oven.
Your hair is so cute! I’ve been watching a lot of your videos, and I noticed you experiment a lot with how far up the colored portion goes. This level is so pretty!!
WHEN YOU HAVE TO GET YOUR KIDS UP IN 4 HRS FOR SCHOOL AND YOUR STILL UP WATCHING HANNAH!!! SO RELATE ABLE AND MAKES ME THINK I CAN DO THIS STUFF TO, EVERY VIDEO IS LITERALLY SOMETHING I HAVE THOUGHT ABOUT OR WANTED ME FAMILY TO TRY!!! SUCH A GOOD SERIES!
I use a vinegar, water, essential oil and dish soap for all purpose cleaner
WHAT IF JACKSON WAS THINKING OF THE LITTLE GIRL CALLED MATILDA
I swear that it was Wyatt that saw her
gothic bxtch no it was jackson lol
Hannah's not just the okest mom but she is also the coolest mom.
I love how you don't force them to tell you what's wrong when they are upset, and just wait till they want to talk about it.
All I could think of was the ghosts in the house.
I love how supportive Matt is
LOVE THIS! So proud of you for trying this!
i actually suggest bamboo towels there’s recycle-able ig i’ve never used them but i see them and their supposed to decompose better than paper towels
The thing with bamboo is that it's viscose and a lot of chemicals go into its processing.
LETTT YOURRR KIDSSS DECORATE FOR CHRISTMASSS
Love wyatt's little "put it up"
Them two are growing up!! Yall do an amazing job with trying new things and i love it
Hannah is so sweet she's just the perfect mom
Most paper towels are able to go in a compost bin and I use compost paper bags and keep them in the freezer so it doesn’t smell. But you should search it up to see the rules of compost bins.😉
This is my fav buzzfeed series!
I think it’s so cool that you always do research in advance to be as successful as possible
Hey Hannah! You should do a challenge with your family where you try living in a bus/van you can look up on TH-cam tiny house life or Bus life etc. I'm not Entirely Sure how you will figure out how to do this maybe you can reach out to someone and borrow their bus/van for a week but I for sure would watch it!! I've been recently really into people living in such a small space and learning how to live their lives! 😂❤️
You have like 4 trash bags that are half full!
It was taken out!
Get it?!
“ThAtS a PoTaTo!” Wyatt is so adorable 😂
I know it’s two years after this video, but bakeries are an awesome resource to get bread without packaging. Going to the source themselves, they typically have unpacked goods and package to order. You can also occasionally find butchers, cheesemongers, and fishmongers who will use your reusables!
Jackson is always so positive it's amazing
Is it just me or is jackson’s voice getting deeper?
9:11
Wyatt : "that's a patato"
Honestly Jackson just loves everything his mom makes
I’m proud of everyone who really tries to waste less💗🌱
My mom used to make her own laundry soap. Its super easy & makes SOOOO much. She found the recipe online
Hannah, it’s fine that you messed up a bit! It’s hard to go from a regular lifestyle with plastic and waste to a zero waste lifestyle! If you are considering this life style it’s better to cut it out slowly. I’m not and expert, just trying to work on this myself too❤️
I’m really sick and your the only family and show I’ve watched for a week ❤️ I’m your biggest fan
Love this video!! If everyone does a little to reduce there waste it can make a massive difference, and really its unreasonable to expect everyone to be a perfect "zero waster"
You could try putting essential oils into the cleaner to make it smell better
That could be problematic. I've heard of kids being sensitive to essential oils. And they might be harmful to Rosie. I know some essential oils are harmful to cats but I don't know about dogs.
At this point, I don't have shame anymore.....
I can RELATE
“At this point I have no shame anymore, you know” felt thattttt
Hey Hannah! We've been going zero waste as well. We have a little dog with incontinence issues. She doesn't always make it outside. We found compostable poop bags for when she poops. And we bought bright yellow towels for when she pees. We also got a small hamper just for these rags.
She does good for the most part but sometimes when we're gone a while she doesn't make it to the door. Just thought I'd share with you what we do.
