I seriously get sucked into Youtube. It’s… addicting. I call it the Youtube Black Hole. You stumble on one video and the next thing you know it’s an hour later and you’ve watched everything from celebrity interviews, puppies finding their reflections in the mirror, and movie trailers. (Movie trailers are the biggest black hole…)
The worst though? When you find a video that you have to watch fourteen times in a row and show all your friends and then watch it again. Like that one video where the girl twerks and falls over… must have watched that for an hour.
I also give everyone who Youtubes regular so much credit. I love posting videos, but filming and editing takes so much time and I get beyond frustrated having to hear myself say the same thing over and over again. (I hate my voice… anyone else?)
Recently, I’ve been subscribing to Youtube channels. I’m hooked. Some of my favorites:
Sarah is the cutest… definitely have a little girl crush on her. I really think she’s so funny and you really feel like you totally know her in real life.
I’ve loved them for a really, really long time… and they just keep getting better. Makes me want to get Stacy to join a band with me (and clone us a few extra sisters all in the name of harmony).
It is so easy to get sucked into the "Youtube black hole"! I'm just glad you've given it a name! Hahaha I've loved Cimorelli for a long time. Those harmonies? Aca-mazing! I'll definitely have to check out your other recommendations. I know what I'll be doing this weekend… Thanks for the suggestions!
Hahaha I just posted about my favourite preppy youtubers this week! I'm totally obsessed, I can spend hours at a time on that site! xo Amy | amyvnorris.com
The worst is when you're subscribed to a bunch of youtubers and then you miss a day, or daily vloggers. I'm about 2 months behind on the sacconne-joly's and I just can't catch up!
Love your picks, I've never heard of a few so I will def check them out. I'm a little obsessed with the Ellen YouTube channel especially when she has Sophia Grace and Rosie on. -Alex http://www.monstermisa.blogspot.com/
YouTube is 100% a black hole! Oh..and I hate my voice too. I think it's just in our own head..my friends always said I had the perfect voice for radio?? haha but back to the YouTube vortex. I usually spend hours watching cute cats and dogs. I can't help it!
This and yap 🤍 Don’t forget to create holiday magic for yourself too! I can’t tell you how nice it was to do some gingerbread decorating without having to follow a three year old’s vision (or fight the sugar battle)! It’s fun to do it with kids, too, but sometimes you just need coffee, baked goods, and little bit of kid-free catch up time with your mom friends! Thank you for hosting @blueskyehouse!!
I wrote down a list of things I wanted to do for fun in 2024. I crossed off exactly zero of them (having a baby will do that to ya) and my only hope of accomplishing one would be to host a cookie exchange! I wanted to SO bad but I was also feeling exhausted after a long year (losing a dog, having a baby, running a business, etc.) and I didn’t know if I had hosting a party in me. I sent out the invitations and told myself I’d figure it out. There was no going back! It was SO FUN though and I will be doing this again. I feel like so much of the holidays as a mom is spent making the magic for kids. It’s Santa meet and greets, Christmas shopping, holiday pageants…. And then seeing Santa again (and again and again). THIS party was for us! 🥂
🎧 Five 5-Star Audiobooks I Listened to This Year ✨
Audiobooks have been my secret weapon for fitting reading into a busy life. Whether I’m folding laundry, driving to preschool drop-off, or squeezing in a solo walk, I can dive into a story at the touch of a button—and @Audible makes it so easy. Eligible new subscribers can sign up for a one month free trial of #Audible Premium Plus anytime! #AudiblePartner #amazoninfluencer @amazoninfluencerprogram
This year, I listened to some incredible audiobooks, but these five stood out as absolute favorites:
📚 A Tree Grows in Brooklyn by Betty Smith: A beautifully written coming-of-age classic. I didn’t want it to end and could absolutely see myself re-listening in a few years.
📚 None of This Is True by Lisa Jewell: A psychological thriller with unreliable narrators that kept me guessing the whole way through.
📚 Such a Bad Influence by Olivia Muenter: Part mystery, part family drama—flawed characters, a gripping storyline, and a chef’s kiss ending.
📚 All the Colors of the Dark by Chris Whitaker: A masterpiece of storytelling that starts as a serial killer mystery and evolves into something much bigger.
📚 Blue Sisters by Coco Mellors: A stunning exploration of sisterhood, grief, and imperfect people. The ending left me in tears (happy ones!).
#sponsored Bedtime with two little boys can be hectic to say the least! 😅 But I try to do what I can to make the transition smoother and help my baby get the best sleep possible. 💤 Desitin Maximum Strength Baby Diaper Rash Cream is the #1 pediatrician-recommended choice for diaper rash relief. The rich, thick formula creates a protective barrier on Rory’s skin, working for up to 12 hours to treat, heal, protect, soothe, and prevent diaper rash. And after bathtime, we use @aveenobaby Calming Comfort Lotion. This nourishing lotion, made with prebiotic oat, keeps my baby’s skin soft and smooth for 24 hours. Plus, the calming scent is perfect for winding down before bedtime. A little prep goes a long way in making bedtime easier for everyone! 🍼💤 Both are available on Amazon
Holding on for dear life this December ❤️ I have had SO MANY conversations this week with my friends near and far and we are *all* struggling. I have to say, just knowing it’s not just me feeling the pressure of “end of year-holiday magic- cold/flu/stomach bug season-darkest days of the year,” has made it a little easier to handle. Don’t forget to take care of yourself, too 😮💨 (Telling myself this because I could use the reminder too!)
If I hadn’t already mailed our Christmas cards*, I would be ordering a reprint because this first photo is IT. ⭐️💂🏻♀️
*Actually only half because for some reason, I didn’t order enough? Our list must have grown over the past year or I just underestimated how many people were on it! I had to order more so the second half will be going out later whoops!!
hahaha, i love how you call it: "the youtube black hole" hahaha totally agree…. i don't watch tv at all … youtube is my television 🙂

You have to watch Lisa Eldridge — her beauty videos are amazing, and her voice is so soothing! It sounds weird, but you can't help but love it!
I love Cimorelli!! They are so talented! Have you ever checked out Improv Everywhere? https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCTrtA2LyW7gie0o8hY4efXw
Their stuff is hilarious and people's reactions are priceless.
