music courtesy of epidemicsound.coma very overdo and much needed cabinet clean out and organization ๐ฎโ๐จunplantinthewild2024-02-05 | i feel like it's been awhile since i've done a dedicated cleaning video, but to be honest i've been putting off this specific cabinet for MONTHS. you know those misc drawers you have around the house where you just throw everything that doesn't have a place in it? yeah, this is mine. somehow organizing all the tiny little things is way more overwhelming than worrying about larger things, but now that i'm in full nesting mode wanting to get everything done before i hit third trimester, i figured it was time. my hope is that you put on this video while you do your own cleaning and organizing so we can do it together!

music courtesy of epidemicsound.coma talk about why we were on the fence about parenthood for almost 10 yearsunplantinthewild2024-01-01 | this question has been a pretty popular one ever since we announced we were expecting, and i think it's a conversation that really isn't discussed enough. we hear about all the joys of having children and all the reasons to have a big family, and i think it's becoming more common now for the child-free people to speak up about why they never want kids. but i feel like there's so many of us that are right in the middle and really have no idea what the heck we want. vince and i take you through our entire thought process and what we've experienced over the last decade that eventually led us to the decision we made and hopefully it helps anyone else who is also on the fence too!
and PSA this is a VERY VERY opinionated conversation and we absolutely do NOT think this should be the standard for everyone. it's unique to our situation, our past and how we see our future. so please keep that in mind as you watch!
music courtesy of epidemicsound.coma productive saturday at home + deep cleaning and organizing!unplantinthewild2023-12-26 | this vlog was way longer than i thought it would be, but i spent the weekend before christmas getting the house in order! i usually try and make sure my space is really clean and organized before the new year to start things fresh. i finally have some of my energy back since coming out of what felt like the longest first trimester ever, and i'm glad i was able to get some overdue things done. hopefully this inspires you to do the thing you've been needing to do!

in this video, i reluctantly sort through the heaps of crud we've accumulated over the years, did some much needed purging and trashing all while in a pretty foul mood as you may be able to gather while watching ๐น but honestly there's a very clear difference between therapeutic cleaning and like... WHY DO WE HAVE SO MUCH CRAP cleaning, and this day was definitely one of those. anyway.. hopefully this motivates you to get some cleaning done too, but if it doesn't, that's a-ok too

music courtesy of epidemicsound.comGOOD SOUP #01 - super easy chicken broth and egg noodle soup to satisfy your pho cravingsunplantinthewild2023-02-03 | Whenever I go to vietnamese restaurants and I ask for fish balls in replacement of meat, they always look at me like I'm bonkers ๐ So I started making my own version of pho that would satisfy these cravings, and I could add anything I wanted without the judgemental looks haha. PLEASE NOTE this is NOTHING like an actual pho recipe, which is insanely complex and rich in so many other flavours than chicken bouillon, but, this soup does make the cravings go away which was the goal when I whipped this up for the first time. I'm excited for more good soup episodes because I am a soup ๐ gorl ๐
WHAT YOU'LL NEED: - egg noodles (or your noodle of choice) - chicken bouillon (you can also use veggie or beef stock) - fish balls (or your protein of choice) - green onions - cilantro - bean sprouts - lime juice - hoisin sauce - sriracha

I've been trying to put money away to replace things in the apartment that I've been wanting to get rid of for awhile, like new kitchen towels, dishes and cutlery, and finally buy some things to redo our bedroom.. slowly but surely things are coming along, but it's probably going to take all year to get things looking the way I want. Anyhoo, hope you enjoy this one!

music courtesy of epidemicsound.comcooking pasta with @youdontevengrowhere and finally cleaning my stove ๐ฅตunplantinthewild2023-01-23 | If there was ever a pasta that I think we can all collectively agree is freakin delicious, I think this is the one. We attempted to recreate the spaghetti portofino from Cactus Club and wow- this one is going to be a staple on my menu now. I also did a quick clean of my stove since it was looking dusty and crusty, but hopefully once the weather warms up I can do some real degreasing outside. Hope everyone has a great week!!
And if you're into plants, please follow my best pal at @youdontevengrowhere !!
How to make it: 1. Cook spaghetti noodles in salted water for about 6-8 minutes (for al dente texture) 2. Cut shrimp in half and set aside 3. Add butter to a heated pan 4. Add panko bread crumbs to pan and coat completely with butter. Cook until the crumbs become golden brown then set aside. 5. Heat olive oil in the same pan, then add minced garlic. Cook until the turn a light golden brown. 6. Add shrimp to pan and cook until they become pink. 7. In a small bowl, add about a half cup of pasta water with 2 tbsp of chicken bouillon then add to pan with shrimp 8. Add corn to pan with more butter 9. To increase the amount of sauce, continue to add more pasta water and butter to taste 10. Add salt and pepper, then continue to cook for another 2-3 minutes. 11. Add sauce to noodles then add bread crumbs
music courtesy of epidemicsound.comcatching up on mid-week chores / food prep, organizing and cleaning!unplantinthewild2023-01-17 | my life pretty much consists of 60% of these kinds of days and I think many people would find it terrible but I find a lot of happiness on days where I can just spend hours doing chores. I always said if my career didn't work out, I'd probably become a house cleaner or open a cleaning business, so if all else fails my backup plan doesn't sound too bad to be honest ๐ I did some food prep, organizing, cleaning, laundry and a bit of this and that in between!
