- [Hannah] Yes!
Oh, no!
This is a lot harder than it looks.
I made a mistake.
- That was a big fail.
(upbeat music)
(laughing)
- I just don't want you to fall.
(sigh)
- Hi, I'm Hannah.
I'm the world's okay-est mom,
and we are obsessed with TikTok.
We should all be asleep right now,
but we're up watching TikToks,
per usual.
So we're going to try something.
For a full week, we're going to make a TikTok everyday.
We're gonna do seven different challenges in seven days.
Do you think we can do it?
- Yeah, I think we can. - [Wyatt] Yeah.
- Wish us luck.
I decided to do this TikTok challenge because
to be quite honest right now,
I'm hardly engaging my kids at all.
I'm working from home, I have a four month old
and two older kids, and literally the majority of the day,
they're doing whatever they want.
They're sitting in front of a screen,
whatever works right now.
And I'm doing basically the bare minimum as a parent.
So first challenge was a drawing challenge.
My kids and I actually saw this challenge a couple times
and it was so funny.
We really couldn't stop laughing at it, so we had to try it.
- [TikTok Voiceover] Hey guys,
there's an art challenge where you have to draw yourself
using the whirlpool filter on, so I'm going to try my best.
Oh no!
Okay, it's fine.
These lips are flawless.
I'm coming for your career, Kylie.
And then we're going to look at it without the filter.
Here we go.
(gasps) Oh my God.
It looks just like me!
- We're going to try this Tik...
I can't talk!
I'm so tired.
So what are we going to draw?
- Pizza.
- Pizza? Okay.
What? (laughs)
(both laughing)
- [Hannah] Drawing a pizza.
It's very hard to film yourself making a TikTok.
That's so good!
I realized,
if we were having so much difficulty on this challenge,
I was in for a rude awakening the rest of the week.
Hello.
We're going to try
a food challenge.
What have we seen all over TikTok?
- That like,
instant coffee?
- [Hannah] The whipped coffee, right?
- Yeah.
- [Hannah] And so, what are we going to try it with, Wyatt?
- Chocolate chips!
- [Hannah] (laughs) No. Matcha!
Okay, but we gotta film the TikTok.
Ready?
There you go.
Hold it straight.
Again, very difficult to do stuff
and film TikTok at the same time.
Jackson, no.
You hold it Wyatt.
Jackson can you hit the record button?
Yes!
Oh, no!
- What?
- Oh no, we did a 15 second by accident.
Shoot.
So all of a sudden, I had like, point five seconds
to show the finished product.
So it's like a nice lengthy step by step
and then just like, boom, finished product, done.
Oh gosh, this is the worst TikTok of all time.
(upbeat music)
- [Wyatt] One.
(mixer whirring)
- Mm, that is really yummy.
- Mm, that's actually really good.
- [Hannah] Okay bye.
(laughing)
This is worth the effort, this is so good.
My Tiktok on the other hand, not so good.
I'm tired, these are a lot of work.
Well, we have one plan today, that's really really funny.
- [Jackson] What do I need to do?
- Go get your hoodie, get some socks, and get your pants.
Ready? GO.
- Okay!
- I found this TikTok that literally,
I still to this day, cannot stop laughing over.
(upbeat music)
- [TikTok Voiceover] Okay.

- [Hannah] TikTok makes it look
so easy to do this stuff.
But we ran in to so many hurdles.
Okay, I'm going to have to clip this
in the back.
This is a lot harder than it looks!
This is the part that I don't know
what to do with,
your giant head.
Oh my gosh, wait hold still! Hold still!
Jackson, you look amazing.
How are you feeling?

- [Hannah] If I had to give it a grade,
I'd give it a B-.
It made me realize,
very quickly, that the people who
make these really creative, innovative,
really detailed TikToks are spending
a lot of time on it.
- [Jackson] That was a big fail.
- [Hannah] Okay, I'm counting on you Henry.
We gotta be really safe.
For our next TikTok, it was
baby Henry's time to shine.
(upbeat music)
♪ I wanna dance, yeah ♪
♪ Party girl, say hey! ♪
♪ Gotta dance, yeah. ♪
- [Hannah] I realized very quickly
that Henry is much younger
than the baby who was in original TikTok we saw.
How did they do it?
Did they do it on the shoulders,
or on top of the head?
- [Jackson] Should I put it on?
- [Hannah] Oh, gosh!
(laughing)
No, it needs to go over me.
We're so close!
So, we picked a black maxi dress and
Wyatt volunteered to film it,
and it was just a disaster.
- [Wyatt] No! No! How do I delete it?
- [Hannah] Oh my goodness, this is getting really hard.
- [Wyatt] How do I delete it?
- [Hannah] Jackson, show him how!
He didn't know when to push start and stop,
he didn't know how to record,
the dress just didn't look very good.
So we did a part 2.
Okay, ready?
- [Jackson] Hold on.
(upbeat music)
♪ I wanna dance, yeah ♪
♪ Party girl, say hey! ♪
♪ Gotta dance yeah. ♪
♪ Uh-Huh! Gotta dance. ♪
♪ Let's go! ♪
- Let me get him out! Let me unbutton him.
(sighing)
- [Hannah] My dance moves are not the greatest.
In my defense, I was more focused on
holding Henry, and not
dropping him, or doing anything wrong
than what I was doing with my legs.
So, I watched it back and
was like,
well, I did that.
I have another idea for another TikTok.
It's a challenge that I've seen people
do a lot of times with the green screen.
I don't know how to do it. I don't
know how it's done.
But, we're gonna give it a try.
Wyatt, I think you are the perfect
volunteer for this one.
We're gonna do it with this giraffe.
- [Wyatt] That's Henry's!
- [Hannah] Whoops.
- [Wyatt] I don't wanna sit on Henry's.
- [Hannah] You're not actually gonna sit on it.
- [Wyatt] Then what am I gonna do?
- [Hannah] We realized that the back of
our couch is the perfect place to pretend
like Wyatt was sitting on something with
the green screen.
So we were just trying to find something
that we could photograph that it
could look like he was sitting on.
So we found Henry's brand new giraffe toy,
and used that as the green screen.
This is gonna be good!
Okay.
That's perfect!
- [Wyatt] Let me see [Hannah] Look at this!
(upbeat music playing)
- [Jackson] Wyatt!
(laughing)
- [Hannah] That is so funny!
- [Wyatt] No, that's actually funny.
- [Hannah] Wait, this is a success!
This TikTok was the best preforming TikTok
of the week.
I think it was really creative and simple,
and just really fun and lighthearted.
And everybody loves Wyatt, so it
preformed really well.
So, this next TikTok is a
couples challenge.
So, I'm gonna need to pour
myself a glass of wine.
I'm probably going to need to pour
Matt a glass of wine to convince
him to try to do this with me.
I brought you a glass of wine!
- [Matt] Oh! Yum!
- [Hannah] Because, you know...
You're so cool.
- [Matt] Oh, that's good!
- [Hannah] You're so fun,
and hip.
- [Matt] Oh, yeah. You're just buttering me up
for a TikTok.
- [Hannah] I need you to do a TikTok
couples challenge with me.
(upbeat music)
♪ I will love you ♪
♪ I will love you always ♪
- [Hannah] I go like this, you put your legs...
Is my butt showing?
- [Matt] Like this?
- [Hannah] Yeah.
- [Matt] And then what?
- [Hannah] And you sit
back, put your legs down.
I mean your arms, down
on the ground.
And then you lift your legs up.
(Matt groaning)
Lift your legs up.
And then lift your arms up.
And then I'm supposed to lift my arms up.
- [Matt] What?
- [Hannah] I can't!
- [Matt] No way!
- [Hannah] Lean back, even out
the weight a little!
Okay, wait.
(laughing)
- [Matt] No, you can't...
No. There's no way.
- [Hannah] That's what it is!
Let's consult the video one more time.
See?
- [Matt] You're gonna drop me on my butt.
- [Hannah] Okay. So lean back.
(laughing)
(music starts)
- [Hannah] Okay, yep.
♪ I will love you ♪
- [Hannah] I can't!
♪ And I will love you always ♪
- [Hannah] To say that it went badly
is an understatement.
We tried so hard.
I honestly, to this day, don't
understand how the TikTok works.
I'm too old for TikTok!
I ended up kind of having a little meltdown
about being too old for TikTok.
So, Wyatt volunteered to film the TikTok,
and I didn't realize that he was recording
my meltdown about being too old for TikTok.
And that was the TikTok.
So, the end result is a giant fail.
Oh, man.
Not my best moment.
This was supposed to be something fun
for us to do as a family, and it ended up starting
to stress me out for no reason.
I'm in the bathroom,
I need to take a shower,
but here like,
a very,
candid look
at my life.
I just, I've been getting a lot
of messages from people asking like,
how I'm...
God.
...how I'm keeping it all together.
And like, I'm trying really hard.
And I'm reminding myself every day
that I'm so lucky.
I'm so lucky right now.
But it's not easy.
All I see on the internet
are like, homeschool ideas for parents,
and fun activities to do with your kids,
and all these things that your supposed
to be doing to engage your kids, and there
just aren't enough hours in the day for me to do it.
The whole point of this,
is if anyone out there is feeling badly,
about not doing enough,
just know that nobody's keeping it together right now.
It's really hard. It's okay for you to
have a breakdown like me right now.
Because this **** is hard.
So, I saw these TikTok's that have had,
they do like a themed dinner.
And I think that would be really fun
for us to do a themed dinner.

- [Hannah] I thought it'd be funny to do
a different type of theme of dinner,
because we just happen to have a lot of
the stuff in our house...
- [Jackson] What is the theme?
- [Hannah] Oh, you'll see.
Goth dinner.
(laughing)
Okay, we're dressed.
It's makeup time.
- [Jackson] You look so good.
(laughing)
- [Hannah] Look up at me.
Oh yeah. Look at me.
(both laughing)
I'm not as good as I used to be at this.
You ready?
- [Matt] I'm ready.
(laughing)
- [Hannah] Okay, are we ready?

all of the sudden just have like a full interpretive dance
that he wanted to do for the TikTok.
♪ It's my final day ♪
- [Hannah] This was the most fun TikTok.
It was the most time consuming Tiktok, but also
the most fun. And we ended up eating dinner
at like 9:30 pm,
but it was worth it.
So having done a weeks worth of TikToks,
I have some thoughts.
It's less fun if you put pressure on yourself
to do it. The way that TikToks are successful
is if they're very real, and natural,
and just
in the moment.
We had a good time,
but for future TikToks I will stick to what
I know, which is just filming
funny things that happen in the moment.
Nothing fancy.
So that's all I got for today,
I'm Hannah, and if you try any
of these TikToks,
let me know! Message me on Instagram
or tag me,
because I wanna see that I'm not the only one
having a hard time with these.
Now if you'll please excuse me, I need to go
work out because Matt and I,
at some point, need to be able to do a couples challenge.
Till next time!
