- I'm heading over to a baby shower!
I think people who are expecting wanna be around parents
because it foreshadows their future.
(door bell rings)
So, oh! Looks like Lennon's back.
Good job, Lennon.
Wow!
- Yeah!
- Yay, Cheeki! - Cheeki!
- [Both] Yay!
- Before I left,
I wanted to do a little quick outfit of the day.
This is quintessential Jenn.
I will always enjoy a tennis skirt,
a cardigan, a band tee.
These are just closet staples that make me feel at home.
But yeah, these are the vibes for today,
and let's head on over to the baby shower.
- Hi!
How many weeks are you?
- 35.
- [Jenn] Oh my goodness!
(all laughing)
- He was doing a thing.
- [Friend] Yeah! (giggles)
- It is time for supper, and it is my turn to make dinner.
I want to take a quick minute to thank Hello Fresh
for sponsoring this video.
We are Hello Fresh fans in this house.
We've been using it for so many years.
I truly learned how to cook through this service.
It is by far the best meal delivery service
I have ever used.
So tonight, we are going to be making the tilapia
with scallion sriracha pesto.
All the ingredients are pre-portioned and pre-measured
in this bag, so that way I can cut down on food waste
by at least 23% compared to grocery shopping.
Hello Fresh has over 40 recipes and over 100 seasonal
and convenient items to choose from every single week.
They have so much variety and flexibility
for whatever lifestyle that you have.
For example, Ben is a pescatarian,
and so whenever we are choosing our meals each week,
we make sure we choose ones with veggies or with fish.
They also have other options
like gluten free, carb smart, and more.
I love that everything is seasonal
and picked at peak ripeness,
so that way you can really taste the quality.
You're essentially getting farm to table
to your home in less than seven days.
If your interested you can go to hellofresh.com
and use my code JENNIM50 for 50% off.
Plus, your first box ships free.
Again, that's hellofresh.com, code JENNIM50.
I will leave everything in the description box.
Pop it open, click it, you won't regret it.
- [Ben] Wow
- [Jenn] Dinner is served.
You've got tilapia sriracha pesto.
Lennon has a tilapia rice ball situation.
- Thank you for taking Lennon out to the mall
as I was preparing this.
- It's my pleasure.
We had a good time, didn't we, buddy?
We made friends with everyone.
(Lennon cooing)
Mm! - Mm!
Yeah, he's not eating a single vegetable these days.
- Mm!
That's good.
- Mm-hmm.
Oh wow, the ginger's very bright, isn't it?
- Yeah, its lovely. (light-hearted music)
- Mm!
(seatbelt clicks)
So I just parked in Pasadena.
I'm about to head on over to my speech class.
I wish I could tell you I'm excited to go in,
but it is a very challenging course.
The first session went really well.
It was really exciting 'cause I was kind of, you know,
going off the adrenaline of, "Oh, like novelty.
This is really fun! I'm doing something good for myself."
But then the second session was actually really tough
because I was confronted with a part of myself
that I really dislike,
which is my inability to go off the cuff.
Basically, what the, I don't know.
I guess I can leave a clip of what happened last time.
(Jenn exhales)
I crumbled guys.
He asked me to do a 45 second story on anything.
Immediately, I just went blank.
I could not think of a single story
that had a beginning, middle, and end for 45 seconds.
And I think that's my issue.
I think whenever someone or I'm prompted with a question,
I think way to deep into it.
Like I'm literally thinking about all the mechanics
that go into a story.
What constitutes a good story?
What is the conflict? What is the resolution?
And you know we went over the fundamentals
of story telling, but how was I supposed to compress
all of that into a 45 second talk?
So it's so strange that you're brain does that.
But I think it was because I was just stressed out.
I stress myself out.
That's where we are today.
I am about to go into my third session.
Like my main objective for speech class
was to remove my fillers, like like, you know.
And then the second part was that I'd be able to flow
with my words a little better,
rather than just always doubting myself.
Because I think the doubt is really what gets in my way.
(Jenn laughing)
- [Instructor] How are you?
- I am good, how are you?
- [Instructor] I'm doing well.
All right, table topics, current events.
What do you think about TikTok?
Do you think it should be banned? Your thoughts.
(playful music continues)
- Ha!
(playful music continues)
Okay.
(playful music continues)
Oh my God, it worked. (laughs)
It's actually pretty cute.
Okay, I think this will fit his head.
'Cause I can reuse some of these stickers,
that are on his last week's project
and then glue them on here.
Do you think it'll work? - [Ben] I love it, yeah.
- It's cute, huh?
- Lennon's got a big head like mine, so.
(Jen laughing)
All that brain, you know?
- Mm-hmm.
Its mostly the prefrontal cortex.
- (clicks tongue) That's it.
- He loves his sensory class every week.
It's honestly the best thing for him.
- It checks all the boxes.
He gets to be social, there's music, sounds,
and visuals with the instruments.
He's a very happy boy.
- I really do look like a bunny in this coat too.
But it's strange.
I do wonder what the origin story of the Easter Bunny is.
'Cause Easter is about Jesus.
But maybe it's for people who don't believe
in Christianity or Catholicism.
They want to market it for everyone.
You brushed your teeth already?
- Mm-hmm, yeah.
- Mimi wants to play with the green ball.
- There's something about Miss Rachel
that Lennon just absolutely loves.
I mean, the show is relatively simple,
but I put it on every time we brush his teeth now
because that toothbrush song is not cutting it,
especially in the mornings.
I am getting ready to go on a hike with Ben.
We're gonna go to Griffith Park,
which will be really exciting.
I haven't been on this trail in the longest time.
But it is Saturday morning,
and our nanny's coming in, which is such a treat.
We are so grateful for her.
(jazz music)
Literally everyone is talking about this Beauty by Joseon.
It just came in the mail.
I'm very excited to try this
and see what the hoopla is about.
Wow, okay, so far the consistency is very milky
and watery which is nice.
Oh my gosh. I think it's blending in pretty good.
Wow, that is a seamless application.
Okay, I can see why people are raving about this sunscreen.
- Lovely.
Easy. You've got this!
- [Jenn] Meanwhile.
- [Ben] Ready?
- Day date, yeah?
- Day date. - Day date.
- A date.
I kinda want something sweet too.
- [Ben] It's like a super coffee.
- It's as big as the lower half of your head. (laughs)
- Yeah.
You need that after a hike, babe.
- [Jenn] Like a quiche is my go-to breakfast food.
- [Ben] Yeah.
- It's either a quiche or a breakfast burrito.
'Cause I like to order things that I can't make at home
or that Ben can't make at home. (laughs)
- [Ben] Yeah.
- Mm! - Yeah?
- Wait this is really good.
Thank you, my kind sir.
Is this kind of like an eggs benedict vibe, or?
- [Ben] Yeah, kinda, but its got the creme fresh.
- Mm!
- [Ben] It's pretty good, huh?
- Mm-hmm.
Very into this.
I am going to try out
this Oribe Hair Alchemy Fortifying Treatment Serum.
Okay, I've been trying to be better
with adding some products to nourish it.
Because it is now processed and a little bit weaker.
I mean, that was one of the big perks
of just having natural hair
is that I didn't need to put any products in it.
Guys, look how much my bangs have grown.
They're past my eyes and in that awkward phase.
Where once it gets here,
it'll start framing my face a little bit better.
But I think I'm just at a point
where I just want to grow them out
and have my hair long again.
It's just that's just the course of life, isn't it?
Once you go short, then you want to grow it long.
Then once its long, you just cut it back.
All right, at last,
the long awaited banana oat muffins are finally here.
- [Ben] Thank you, babe.
- (chuckles) Thank you for waiting.
- Are the black bits from the banana?
- (laughs) No that's chocolate.
(laughs) Cheers. - Cheers.
- Oh, wow.
- That's good. - That's good.
- [Ben] Yeah.
- These are amazing to cook in bulk
because then you can freeze them.
And then when your babies ready, or you are ready to eat it,
you can just pop them in the toaster.
So right now we have a little pocket of time
before Lennon wakes up from his nap.
So just going to relax.
♪ B-I-N-G-O and Bingo was his name-o ♪
Today, I'm going to go to my mom/s house,
and so I'm just packing Lennon's travel bag.
This is by Caraa, who does the best baby bags.
If you have a friend that's pregnant,
or know a friend whose a mom,
this is honestly the best gift you can give her.
The reason why these bags are so good
is that instead of just having like a big, giant gaping hole
where things get lost, there are compartments!
Here are just the wonderful organized compartments, so good.
We got my Coterie diapers on this corner. We got two.
And in this little compartment, we've got some burp cloths.
One can be for his face, and then one can be for his hands.
Some extra clothes.
I genuinely thought I could step this step,
but one time he just throw up all over his shirt,
and we didn´t have a change of clothes.
This is like a nice sensory book that keeps him occupied.
I also pack my Kindle in here
in case I have some time to read.
I always like to put it just in case, you never know.
Oh, now let me get the snacks.
So I like to keep everything inside
this cute little lunch box container.
It is perfect for picnics.
So in the first corner, we´ve got some healthy cheerios.
They have clean ingredients.
It's by this brand, Cascadian Farms.
Sweet potatoes coins.
Happy baby super food puffs.
These are kale and spinach flavor.
They're like grapes, but they taste like plums.
That's all his snacks that we´re going to pack for today.
It's like it is something very satisfying
on just how everything stacks in so neatly.
For his cutlery, I put everything inside
this plastic storage container that I got from PR.
But it is the perfect place to store his bib.
We have his suction plate,
and then we've got two little utensils.
And then, we've got his dino water bottle.
Okay, and that is pretty much everything he needs
to go Grandma´s.
And there we go, there we have it.
Oh my god, it's so cute!
I can't wait to travel with this too.
- [Jenn] (roars) What does a lion say, Lennon?
