Hi guys. Welcome back to my channel into another vlog. Today, I thought I would film a day
in the life for you guys. It's another day of homeschooling, but we have got a few cool
things for the kids to do later. So I thought I would share them with you. Jackson is currently
singing Christmas songs. We're going to start out with our normal routine
of maths and then English. Then we have a little break and then we tend to do science
and something creative. And this video is also been sponsored by Kiwi Co., so I will
be showing you their boxes later on in the video. Basically, you guys went crazy for
the free box, so they said that I could offer it again to my viewers. There will be a link,
but more on that in a little bit. First off, we're going to start out with maths.
Then I think the boys also have a little Zoom call with their teacher and their classes.
That's really nice. But yeah, let's do this. I've got a coffee. Let's go.
We're doing powerful verbs.
So? No, Nah.
Before.
I was going to go. (singing). You guys, what are you going to get up to?
What do you want to do?
So, rainbow.
Rainbows. We'll do the coast down the slide.
Yeah.
Come on then.
It's Show and Tell, then. Caleb, you can go first. What are you showing us?
A V-E day card.
How fun!
and the slime is actually edible, the slime is edible.
I can do new gymnastics.
Whoa.
Listening to disco? (singing) So we've now come outside and it's a beautiful
day, but Jackson has got his hoodie up. I'm not sure why, but he's just brought his toy
ice creams out here and he's going to start selling some ice cream, I think. Aren't you?
Hello, what would you like?
Lots of colors.
Lots of colors. Okay. So get the cone. Do you want a chocolate?
Yeah!
Strawberry?
Yeah.
Thank you.
Don't get used to this.
So for our next activity, the boys and I are going to be doing their KiwiCo crates and
I'm so excited to be partnering with KiwiCo again, they're such a clever concept. And
right now, more than ever, we need ways and ideas on how we can entertain the kids at
home. And these really do keep my boys busy, but they're super fun, but also educational,
but in a really cool way. So I'll show you a bit about them.
So KiwiCo offer flexible subscription boxes like these ones here for kids of all ages.
So each month you'll be sent out one of their crates and inside there are amazing hands-on
projects and toys in them. And they've all been designed by experts to expose kids to
STEAM concepts. So STEAM is science, technology, engineering, arts, and maths, and they just
encourage kids to be innovators and to just get creative, there's no right or wrong answer
with the projects inside these. They can just create and also learn at the same time.
So their boxes start out as low as $16.95, and if you're in the U.S. you also get free
shipping. But as I mentioned, KiwiCo are actually offering my viewers their first month subscription
for free. So you can test it out to see what you think, and you can see what your kids
think as well. So I'll put all the links in the description down below, but it's going
to be kiwico.com/Emily Norris. So you can go ahead and order it and try it out for yourself.
Have a fun educational afternoon with your kids.
So Fraser gets the tinker crate, which is for children from 9 to 13 years old. Jackson,
you get the koala crate, which is for children from 2 to 4 years old. That he's so excited.
He was just talking about the one he did last month, what did you do last month?
The animal puppets and the vegetables you match them.
That's right. You're so clever! And then Caleb gets the Kiwi crate, which
is for children from 5 to 8 years old. Here You go, Bubba.
I know how to do this.
Rainbow optics, We're going to make a rainbow card pillow.
The best thing about the KiwiCo crates is they come with absolutely everything you're
going to need. So we're making a rainbow pillow today. So we need to put all the rainbow pieces
on, but you don't need glue or anything. They are sticky. You can just peel off the back
and then stick them on. And any little thing that you need, but you don't have to run to
the shops, which is something we can't do at the moment anyway. So first off it says,
we need to do the red one. Can you take the back off of the red one? And do you have two
hands?
I can see the red!
Yeah, that looks good!
So cute. I can see the orange.
You're doing really well.
Mom, the orange is so cute.
You have finger lights, Caleb.
Wow!
Okay, push it, push it. You can have it in your bed after this.
Whoa, you didn't make that.
I did.
You did it!
With Mummy.
Whoa!
But now, we're going to stuff it so it's an actual pillow.
You can post stuff in it, Jackson, so you can sleep in it tonight.
But that's a real pillow!
Yeah. Caleb has mixed colored lights together. Wow,
that's awesome!
Should I switch it on? Whoa!
That's so good!
Can I try now?
So the boys have been loving their activities and the two little ones, Jackson and Caleb
actually still have an activity to do each, but I'm actually going to save it for tomorrow
so that we have another project to do then. They're just loving what Fraser made as well.
He made an art spinner. So they're all having a go at doing that as well. And in the boxes,
you also get an educational magazine in each one, so they can do even more learning. So
we'll also be looking at these tomorrow, but yeah, we just love them. So do yourself a
favor, test them out if you want for free, I'll put the links down below.
So I've now just come upstairs because I need to do a little bit of work today. So I've
left them downstairs playing and the two older boys are going to go on our treadmill.
We've got a really old treadmill in our garage and they've started to love going for walks
on it and listening to music. It's really funny. We are actually hoping to get outside
today for a real walk and a little bit of exercise, but I need to do a tiny bit of work.
First. I need to do a voiceover for the video that is going live tonight on my channel.
So this is my setup here. So professional, but I always find that when I do voiceovers
in our bedroom, the sound is better. So this is my setup. I'm balancing my laptop on a
box. And then I actually got a new microphone, which I'll show you.
So this is my new microphone here. It's called a Yeti Blue, I think. And basically Matt watched
loads of review videos on YouTube as to what is a good microphone for voiceovers? And this
kept coming up. So we decided to get it. I just wasn't happy with my audio. I always
felt like I was shouting and it didn't sound very good. So I decided to just invest in
a good microphone. So I'm going to do some work now. Oh, the professionalism. So good.
Let's try and do this. Hi guys. Welcome back to my channel in today's
video. I'm going to be sharing with you my morning routine while we're in quarantine.
Of course, it is a little bit different now that we're staying home.
Okay. I'm all done now, but it took me over two hours. I just couldn't get my words out
sometimes. I don't know what's wrong with me. I just try to talk and I just don't know
what to say, but the voiceover has done that for tonight's videos. So that is a relief.
So now I'm going to come downstairs to the boys. Hopefully Matt, has started dinner and
I'll show you what we're having. Tonight for dinner the boys are having one
of their favorites. It's homemade chicken goo Sean's. And we are having pasta with broccoli
and vegetarian meatballs. We're having different dinners to each other because our spaghetti
sauce is really quite spicy. (singing)
Jackson, tell Mommy what happened to Rocket. Did he go right over the house?
I know I did it.
Mom, it went up to the sky.
Yeah, mine did.
Yeah, I watched mine into the clouds. I saw you it went really high.
It went over the house?
Jackson threw his, Jackson was so and he accidentally threw his pillow. (singing).
It goes next to the octopus. Momma, I found this for leg.
Whoever gets.
Can I get all of them, Mummy? (singing)
Come here, cutie. Ow!
You're my Mummy.
I love you.
What's going on in here?
It's all under control. [crosstalk 00:14:55]
What does that mean?
It's fine, just getting them nice and relaxed for bedtime arrive. [crosstalk 00:14:59] [inaudible
00:14:59] copyright terms.
Security's arrived.
Which one do you want? [inaudible 00:15:16] Sandwich? [inaudible 00:15:18]
The little ones are all in bed now. Fraser's come downstairs with us. We're going to watch
something, aren't we. I didn't actually manage to do a workout today. I've been trying to
do a little 20 minute one each day, but it was just so busy and we're having fun. But
anyway, I think I'm going to end the vlog here, but thank you so much for watching and
I'll see you in my next one. Bye guys.
