I know you said no one sponsors you because you're so honest but that's the main reason why I follow you! As a first time mom I love how you don't sugar coat anything.
💕💕💕 thank you!!! Def won’t change my opinion for any company. I already worked in corporate America for a decade and am done playing by a company’s rules lol. The few times I’ve gotten close to a sponsorship they add all these stipulations and things I have to say or can’t say and I peace out ✌️
We have a Shark vacuum and I love it!
Same. I’ve loved the Shark Rocket Ultralight Stick Vacuum, lightweight, can get under beds, tables, etc...small-ish canister, but easy to dump and worth the versatility.
I love my Shark, too! It’s probably 12-13 years old and still going strong.
We have the dyson cyclone v10 got it on a Christmas special. It comes with a wall mount charger that we store in the garage super convenient to use. Happy with purchase :) downside still expensive
We have a shark vacuum, the filter is washable but easily replaced every year. The HEPA filter is easy to replace too. I've had mine for 4 years and going strong!
Side note: I'm 36 weeks preggers and wondering, aside from diapers, diaper wipes, and butt paste, what else should I put in a diaper caddy??
Same!
I love that you give your real opinion weather it is good or not. TH-camrs usually tend to talk about what they like but not what they didn't. I really like your channel.
Thank you!! Maybe that’s why other people get sponsors and I don’t lol 😆
@@MaiZimmy legit truth you're the only mommy channel I'm subscribed to! Thank you for being you!!
I genuinely laughed out lout when you said that your Dyson failed at its only job. I've always had good luck with Shark vacuums, and I have two dogs with double coats, so it gets a good workout every time it comes out.
Is there a specific model you have that works!? The amount of hair I shed it may be comparable to two dogs shedding 😆
@@MaiZimmy I've got the Navigator Pet Pro, I believe it's called, but any of their vacuums are good!!
Thanks!! I’ll look into that one!
I LOVE my shark vacuum. I got the PetPro and it's so great.
I’m obsessed with your Channel and I’m planning on watching all of your videos 😂 my hubby and I have been trying to start a family for a while, so I’m absorbing all of your advice!
Just recently came across your channel because I’m expecting my first baby in Jan 2021...I LOVE your videos, especially the purchase regrets one!!! I was cracking up about the Blu Ray players 😂 I had a DVD player I wanted to keep when we moved into our new house and my husband made me donate it bc “when was the last time you watched a DVD” 🤦🏼♀️😂
I am so thankful that you are so honest.
Love your videos! Love the honesty ♥️
Love the energy you give in your videos, and the fact that you keep it 💯
🥰🥰
i can’t say it enough your videos bring me so much happiness i’m always laughing !! you’re so real and honest i love it !!
Thank you for this video! My husband and I just moved and need to buy new furniture and I'm pregnant with our first child. A white couch and reclining chair like the one you showed were both on our list and now they definitely are not. Love the honesty, it is super helpful:)
Love the water set up outside with the water table!
We have owned several expensive vacuums, including the old, bulky Kirby. LOVE our current vacuum of 2 years- a Riccar. It is speedy but well worth it. It picks up on the edges, switches easily from carpet to hardwood, and has an extension hose that is a breeze. We have the pet one and it gets the long dog hair out of the carpet!!
The shark duo clean will CHANGE YOUR LIFE. The dual brush roll system picks up everything off of my wood floors and seamlessly transitions to my rugs and carpeted areas. Plus it’s so easy to take apart to clean all the pieces!
I was recommended a Dyson, but I went with the Shark because my mom has been using hers for 4+ yrs without an issue. When I got mine, It’s PERFECT. No problems, multiple parts, and works great on wood floors, carpets and rugs
I know!! I didn’t wanna face mini van life. Lol. Thanks so much for sharing your real product reviews. (Not gonna lie the way you zoomed in on your swollen feet had me laughin! My preggo hoofs are like balloons atm!)🤣♥️👏 You’re the coolest mom on TH-cam.
I enjoy your videos. And I love that you are not sponsored because I feel you truly speak from your “own” experiences and not diluted by the products ads/influence.
Haha I mean I hope to get some sponsors occasionally to pay for these kids, but would NEVER accept a sponsor for something I don’t like or believe in 💕💕
We love your honesty!
Good call on the recliner. My husband actually went to the hospital after trying to move one alone and having the mechanism catch his arm!
LOVE the mattress topper tip!
Love your videos :) always appreciate others viewpoints.
Currently pregnant with our first and you have been a great help ☺️
For vacuum cleaner we have a Kirby. It is expensive, but it will be the last one you buy (got mine from family that was purchased in the 90s, one repair)
Purchase regret... Roomba for daily cleaning of pet hair (use the Kirby 1-2 times a month for food cleaning). It was on a great sale, but if I had waited a few months then I could have got the one that has the better navigation system and dust bin.
I love your videos so much, you're so honest! In probably 1-2 years I need a new car and we will want 2 rows, I'm definitely considering a van now! Also who knew these little kid Jeep's got so unsafe! I had one growing up and it was so incredibly slow lol, that's what a toddler needs lol.
Definitely love my Shark vacuum
You are hilarious 🤣😆😆😆 You nail everything on the head in this one. #liveandlearn #momlife #takesonetoknowone ‼️‼️💕You are one of my new favorite TH-camrs to watch.
Love the honesty!!
Girl I have wheeled vacuums back to Costco more than once! Their return policy is outstanding. I personally have had really good luck with our Eureka that we got on sale there about a year ago and we have 2 dogs and a cat so tons of pet hair.
I’m going to look into those memory foam toppers! And yes we have a blu ray player in our bedroom that I’ve had forever but we never use it. My husband actually loves to buy only blu ray movies and we watch those on his ps4
The vacuum struggles are real! We like our Shark vacuum. We have a 120 lb dog and 2 cats and the amount of fur in my life is unreal but the shark vacuum has been working well for us for 5+ years.
I second this! We have a Bernese Mountain Dog who sheds sooo much. We originally had a dyson animal v7 and that smells like dog hair and wasn't worth it for how often we have to vacuum. We got the Shark APEX DuoClean and we LOVE it. it works so well on the couches and wood floors.
I hear ya about the Dyson. So disappointing. I have heard lots of good things about the Shark. That will be my next vacuum. Thanks for being so real!
I have a shark and it is fantastic! I have been using it for four years now and it still works perfectly! I also have 2 dogs and 2 cats and it still does amazing. It is the Shark Pet Pro model. Works great for carpet and for hard floors.
Hindsight is 20/20. Thanks for sharing all of your mom wisdom!

❤ love this video and can relate!!
First time mom due in February and I’m loving all of your videos! I hate wasting money lol
I have the Hoover whole house pet vacuum and I love it. It has settings for carpet and hardwood.
I can not recommend the shark vacuum enough. We have a stick vacuum by shark and I definitely recommend this over your typical upright. While the canister can’t hold as much, there is so much less to get stuff stuck in a stick vacuum. We have 2 large shedding dogs and a toddler and it performs amazing. The suction is great too!
Shark vacuums are awesome! Will never get another kind.
I love my Miele vacuum as much as you love your Honda Odyssey. Recommended to me by a friend who is retired and spent her life owning and running hotels. They LAST. They are expensive, but it’s because they literally last forever and you get them repaired, not replaced - like old school vacuums. It cleans and sucks better than any vacuum I’ve ever owned. And if you can find a floor model with a dent they will knock a bunch of $$ off!
i have the cordless dyson, super light weight, easy to carry around, i love it so much!
I hardly comment on videos but yours is always so useful that I like to commend you. You have helped me in so many ways to save. Now I’m ready to go get us a mini van. Thanks again!
Yes!!!!! You won’t regret it!!!
I didn't want to be a minivan mom either! My oldest is in a booster so he sits in the back and the other 2 sit in the middle captain chairs. I LOVE the stow n go seating in the back. I have a Toyota Sienna. We sold our little Corolla and got a Camry, it can fit the car seats if we have to but still gets better mileage than the van. This way when one of the vehicles needs work we can make either vehicle work. We watch dvds
For real though on the mattress topper! We have a $20 second hand mattress (we cleaned it and I know how to check for bedbugs) and a really nice 3 inch memory foam mattress topper and its honestly the best.
I have both a Dyson and a Shark. The Shark is definitely the workhorse of the two. The suction is almost too good at times when I accidentally suck up something I didn’t mean to.
Mai your black out curtains, you can buy liners for them and it should darken down the room. You also have eyelet curtains so the light will always be able to get in at the top. But try one room at a time or even one set to see if it makes a difference to that panel at a time.
I laughed so hard when you were explaining your struggle with the twins mini car! 😂 My biggest spending regret is our shark steam mop! I got a spray mop from amazon for $20 and it cleans better then the steam mop 😑
Hey, Mai! Try taking the handle off the recliner if it had one on the side! Usually there is a small screw that holds it on, and it pops off so easily. They won’t be able to put it up without the handle.
Also, I had a dyson that stopped sucking so I purchased a shark and have loved it!
Omg! I will look at taking that screw off!! I hope I can figure that out. Thanks!!
I love to watch your videos to prepare me for when I start trying for baby and I happened to be watching this one next to my boyfriend.
When you said “toddlers should not go off roading” he wasn’t interested in his video games anymore and instead decided we needed to have an argument about WHY toddlers should not go off-roading 🤣
1. Shark vacuum. I have the pet pro one and it sucks up everything. Even before I had a pet this vacuum was great!
2. Dollar General black out curtains. I got mine for like $12 a panel. They were too long so I had my mom cut them in half and I had double the panels at the right length.
Oh my gosh, that’s so funny about the blue ray…we had them when I was a kid, and it’s so true they are almost non-existent. VCR, even more so is so hard to come by!
I know that I am almost a year late to the part, BUT I have a Shark Navigator lift off and I LOVE it! It has a built in wand in the handle that is super easy to use and also has the ability to be used as a canister vacuum as well.
Shark vacuum all the way it's amazing 😊 x
Hoover Whole House Rewind Pet. Love it!!!!!!!
Ok i got my 1st Honda odyssey mini van in 04' & loved it fully loaded for my only child. Then we got a Honda element love for husband for dog, fishing & just carrying stuff & traded my mini van for a another Honda 2010 & then just again in 2017 left over with 4 miles on it. Its not fully loaded but its great bc we always have company & we can get everyone in it at once. Plus my husband it 6'4" & and the head & leg room is awesome
Thanks for your opinion on the inflatable pool I was about to purchase one for my daughter. I didn’t think about inflating & deflating it.
I love my Dyson. Have had it for more than 5 years and it works like a charm. Don’t remember which one it is though. I like blackout as well but I just use a sleep mask to help keep out the light.
I have an Electrolux nibble and I love it and it has stood the test of time
This is such a great video! But I am seriously in love with your eye makeup.SO beautiful. Can you do a tutorial for that look?
I’m going to post a GRWM in the next month where I do my sparkly eye :) it’s actually so easy it’s not even worth a tutorial 😆 I literally just top a brown matte with glitter using my finger 😁 it’s the Tati Palette glitters
Biggest purchase regret was a hook and loop rug for our living room. With 3 cats & a dog, pulls "magically" appeared in a matter of weeks and within 1-2 years, it was shot. Have purchased only tufted rugs since then with no problems!
Get a shark vacuum it is awesome. Love your channel.👍
We have the bissell pet vacuum clear view something lol and have 3 dogs and a baby on the way and just for dog hair it is AMAZING. We have had no issues with it, and I am so thankful for it because it cleans amazing
I just purchased the Moosoo cordless vacuum on Amazon and love it so far.
I totally feel you on the fake blackout curtains. They are the worst! I had to buy a Redi Shade blackout cordless shade from Home Depot to put behind my "blackout" curtains. It's not the most attractive thing but it's cheap and it works.
Lolz about the Jeep! So true. Not sure why they make such dangerous toys for little kids
Shark lift away.... game changer!
Totally down to purchase some of those dvds and a blu ray player from you!! Idk why I love having physical movies on hand 😂 Please let me know when you’re decluttering!!
Bought a German hard top convertible car that leaks over the driver and the passenger seat, and I live in Ireland. Oh, and sometimes the roof doesn't 'want' to close completly, and I live in Ireland. Learning a lot about drainage channels and rubber seals, and 'stop start' car batteries, in German, which I was never good at in school. This video helped a lot. Thanks :)
We are preg with our first and I am dreading whats to come to our beautiful white rug and light grey, non removable cushioned couch! 🙈🙈 Also! As a night shift RN, the Costco blackout curtains are AMAZING! Very affordable and 100% blackout. The only ones I’ve ever had that truly blacked out our bedroom!
Spray furniture with a silicone spray.... will help a lot
Yes, I am one of those rare people who still loves DVDs. I like actually owning my movies, and not relying on what happens to be streaming. And although we own some digital copies, it would cost a fortune to replace all of my DVDs with digital copies.
The bit about the jeep is hilarious
I am a house cleaner and I have used many vacuums. I have always said Dyson is the worst vacuum. Honestly a $50 Bissell does a better job. But I use shark. They are amazing. Half the price of a Dyson. Also you can buy cheap filters on Amazon if you wanna wash your filters, you don’t have to wait till they dry to use your vacuum again. I often clean my filters so the Shark works as good as the day I bought it. 😁👍🏻
Thank you! You def would know what vacuum is the best! I think I’m gonna get a shark
I have had the same Kirby for about 5 years. It’s amazing and I have never had an issue. It has so much power. We have two shaggy dogs and it gets up all of the hair so that my daughter doesn’t have to crawl on a dirty floor. Mine also comes with like swifter attachment and a carpet cleaner attachment. It’s more expensive but I don’t think I will every need another vacuum.
I de cluttered our dvds and blu rays a couple weeks ago. I took the time to cross reference all of our streaming services and surprisingly we still have two drawers of movies that aren’t free to stream. I moved the ones we can stream to the garage!
Your TH-cam video help out so much keep it up
Hi there! I'm expecting and loving your channel :) Would you consider doing a video about your makeup? I noticed in EVERY video your makeup is just stunning especially your glittery eye shadow!
I have to sleep in the dark as well. I hear amazon has black out vinyl that sticks to the window. I honestly just layered two sets of “blackout” curtains from Walmart and it works amazing!
The shark is a great little vacuum
I am finally doing my guest bedroom and I will definitely follow the cheaper mattress and memory foam topper ! Great tip ! Love your videos, first time mom here ! Also can you refresh the link for the memory foam topper, it no longer works. 😢
Rainbow vacuum all the way! Expensive but well worth the investment.
For black out curtains I learned that Walmart has some good ones. I used to work at different home improvement stores and calculated that the best option for cheap but great blackout curtains is Walmart.
Could you get curtain liners for your “black out” curtains? ikea has some!
Expecting twins (first kids) in November. I know I at least want to have one more around age 2. I HATE MINI VANS. My husband wants me to get an odyssey so bad. I heard you start talking about car regret so I called him over NOT KNOWING you were going to be giving an Odyssey ad! Hahahahaha. I'm doomed! Catch me this fall joining the Odyssey fam.
😂😂😂😂 sorry!!! But also you’re welcome cause you will love it!!!
Shark lift away only. Best ever.
We bought Velimax static window cling from amazon to make the windows in my baby’s room dark because I bought cute “blackout curtains” that let in all the light and I didn’t want to try to find new curtains for in there. It works wonders and is super easy to put up. You should check it out!!
Streaming is fun and all but i prefer the actual bluray disc just in case. But that's coming from a movie collector. 😅👍
I love my Shark vacuum.
Woohoo Van life!!!
I LOVE my minivan
🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻
I have the shark one from Costco. it was $180, I've had it for 2 years and works like the day i got it!
Get the Shark Navigator Pet Pro vacuum with self cleaning brushroll! 😊
We have a Miele c3 and has lasted for YEARS! Also sebo vacuums are super good
Get the Ikea Schottis blackout blinds for your windows! They are plain and ugly but they can go behind your pretty curtains, and they work super well. AND they are only like $6 each!
It interesting that you had issues with your Dyson. I LOVE my Dyson. Shark, Roomba, etc failed. I dont use the upright vaccum. I HATE uprights. Cannister is the only way to go for me. Ive had my Dyson for 15 years. For 13 years we only had 3 dogs and 2 birds.For 2 years we have 1 kid, 3 dogs, 4 cats, and 1 bird. My cocketeil went up to birdie heaven last year. I do agree 500 for a vaccum is expensive, but if it lasts 20 years who cares. My mom got the very first dyson made which was 27 years ago. The Dyson is still going strong. My mom did have to replace some belts, filters, hoses, and some other minor stuff, but like a car you have to maintain your Dyson's.
Same $2k mattress hate 🙁. I have bought and sold a ton of furniture and home decor because we've moved 12 times and I switch things out for the new place (13th coming up next month). I try to do marketplace used, but still 💸💸💸
For the curtains you can get blackout curtains lining that can be attached
I hear you about furniture. We got a beautiful set that was dark blue. They sold us some special treatments to keep it clean. Our cat threw up fish cat food on it. We tried to clean it. Instant stain. Turns out that material should not of had the treatment on it. And we were supposed to wait until the company’s people could come out and specially clean it. That would’ve been at least a week with the fish smell on it. We managed to get our money back. But it was a battle
I got Blackout curtains from Target and they were affordable and very effective.
Awwww sucks about the dyson. I don’t have a problem with ours of 4 years. I guess I got lucky. Oh and we still use a Blu-ray player. We live in the middle of nowhere and can’t have any streaming services
We have bissel canister vacuum from bed bath and beyond that we love. My MIL owns a house keeping business and swears by canister vacuums. I also still use blu rays I own my favorite things to watch on Blu-ray. We have a sealy memory foam mattress it was 400 dollars from Wayfair 12 inches and it feels just as good as 1,000 mattress. My aunt who owns a tempurpedic even said how comfy it was and it has a 10 year warranty
The black out curtains had me rolling ! I did the same mistake (on a much smaller scale ) my husband needs pitch darkness to sleep. The marketing on these are extremely misleading ! Now he hangs his hoodies all over my windows 😩 they do the job but it’s not aesthetically pleasing to say the least. He likes to say we live in a casino (no clocks no light . No concept of time ) lol
Get a Shark Apex. We love ours!!!
Idk if it’s just me but I love when she plugs in her channel lol 😂 I love the music ❤️❤️😂
💃🏻💃🏻💃🏻
I love that this is like a mom edition of what not to buy lol
“so i know who to yell at”😂😂😂
