a lot is about to change... LIFE CATCH UP + UPDATES

Miss you all so much.Honestly, I've just been struggling to find the time to vlog in between three kids, motherhood, business, apologies, but I'm back today.I'm gonna do a vlog of the day and I have so much to update you on.There's a lot changing, a lot with like our home, our build up the coast, personal goals, but I'm proud of myself because I am still waking up early for my sessions.You guys know I started doing this I started waking up to do 5am sessions when I was training for the harp challenge, but now I have a new challenge.I've just been finding this routine works so well with my busy life because I'm going to train 5 .30 till 6 .30 and then Kurt is going to take the boys surfing before school.

We've really been making an effort to stimulate Fox and like do something active with him before school.Too bad he's one of those kids that just loves to move and like he has so much energy to give.Surfing in the morning with him, number one, makes the boys so happy, feel so special.And then it enables folks to focus at school.So we feel really blessed that we live in an area that we can do that.So today's session, usually we do our interval runs on a Thursday, but we've switched it up.

We are doing a two kilometer buy -in.Everyone always asks what a buy -in is.It's basically like, purchase price for doing the workout, you buy in.It's like in poker, you know, to play the game, you have to like do a buy in, whatever.It's how you start the workout.And then there's two blocks.

Look, one is 10 cow ski, 10 plate burpees, 10 barbell thrusters.We're doing three rounds.of that.It's a seven minute round, a six minute round, then a five minute round.So like an AMRAP, as many rounds as possible.And then block two, we have three rounds again of 10 cow bike, 10 barbell front lunges, and three laps of a farmer's carry.

I didn't read that.And the buyout again is a two kilometer run.And she's going to be here now in five minutes.And I'm nervous.And guys, if you're gonna do your first session in the gym, in my home gym, so she's coming to meet me at my house.We'll run around to the block, about two kilometers in, then we're doing that session in our home gym.

We finished our gym a few weeks ago and it's been better than wearing my acid canova blouse today.These are my favorite to run in.I'm just opening up the gym and Talia is out the front.Not my sister Talia, by the way, my friend Talia.She is at the front waiting for me.We're going to go for a run and then come back in here.

Nine minutes and 50 seconds.Okay, jokes on me. I thought we just had to complete this three times, but no, we're actually completing it nine.So to start off, we have to complete three rounds of this in seven minutes.

Okay, the easiest and I didn't finish.

Yeah, if I thought seven minutes was hard, six minutes was brittle and honestly, five minutes was almost impossible.Honestly, my friend Talia is such a weapon and every time I train with her, I'm humbled to say the least, but it was a really good session.Can you guess what we're training for?If it's not obvious already.What are you doing this morning?

We're going surfing.I am going surfing.Me and my buddy are going surfing.

So you can see Harlow's had his first haircut.You have to forgive me. I basically had this like lapse in judgment.As we remember, he had this beautiful long hair and all of my boys have had a man bun at this age.We were doing the same thing with Harlow.He had a cute little man bun and like a wispy mullet.And I just got to the point where I was over it.

He just wasn't letting me do his man bun.So I chopped it off.He was not having the at home barber session.So I stopped.It was a bit botched, but we took him to the barber and the barber cut his whole Justin Bieber vibe fringe off.So now he's got this like short, whatever.

Give it two weeks and I feel like it will get better, but I regret it.You wanna get in as well?

Aww.

No, he's just so happy to see you in the morning.

I do remember last week when I took him to watch the boys surf, I was wearing him in like a baby carrier and he vomited on my chest.Should we get up and get going?Get out of my house.Get out of my house.

Get the other one now.Making me run first thing in the morning.We've got to find a little spot that's safe for us.Yeah, well done, Fox.Definitely a channel there.Ready?

Here we go.

We're in a session where we just sit in the waves and get smoked.We stole the vlog camera.

We are about to go upstairs and do Tiwiko.So come on guys, let's go.I was coming up with the guide.

Tell me your mom's a vlogger without telling me your mom's a vlogger, let's go We've been getting Kiwi Co. crates since Fox was a baby and they look forward to it every single month Malaga's not concentrating so I'm making it for him.

It's time for the big onecrate, my name's Fox and I get the Kiwi crate.Let's open it up, bros.Spinning sand garden.We get these crates once a month.It's a subscription and then this comes in your door.

Everything in the crate is play based learning.My mum says we don't even realise we're learning when I'm learning right now.Ooh, it's a magnet.Mahalo's Panda Crate only comes every second month.I was getting KiwiCo when I was a baby and now I actually get to build stuff like this.And you watch this.

As a busy mum, I genuinely can't recommend KiwiCo more.You simply select the crate that best suits your child's age and the crate comes straight to your door.If you want to use my code, it's Sarah's Day for 50 % off your first monthly crate or 20 % off if you're going for the panda crate that comes every second month.Thank you again, KiwiCo for sponsoring today's video.

Thank you, KiwiCo.Thank you, KiwiCo.

You miss the boys.

I love that I will like put the wiggles on in the morning and like get over mymum guilt.I'm like, okay, I'll just use the screen while I get ready.He won't even watch it.It's good, but he's honestly like a magnet to me.He's 18 months now.

Like, does anyone else's husband do this?Just like dump their clothes beside their bed?

Like, is this clean?It's dirty now.That's the rule.Leave it on the floor.

It's dirty to me.

Wanna come and help me?Let you in this laundry.Yucky, yucky.you guys saw of the gym was just an update of us building it.And obviously we have finished the build.The only thing we have left is to paint these speakers black.

But after I train with my friends in here, I will come in and just give it a reset because I don't expect my friends to like come and clean my gym, you know?If you follow me on Instagram, you probably would have guessed what my next race is and what I'm training for.But my next race is...Tyrox Pros.And you have my friend Talia, who is just here to thank for that.

You want a boxing?You can do some boxing, you want me to put it on you?

I wanted to do a high rocks since high rocks became a thing, but I was pregnant and breastfeeding postpartum.It was just not my season.So finally now I am feeling honestly probably the fittest I've ever felt.I'm not going for a win time.I low key think Talia is. I'm just going to like be a part of it and complete it.I feel like, you know, since having my three kids, I have such a different psyche when it comes to training.

I'm competitive within myself, not other people.I don't care what everyone else is doing.I'm just there to do my best.Bye, Foxy.Bye, love you.Have a good day.

Bye!See you after school.I have an unhealthy obsession with having empty laundry baskets, but now I really need to go get ready.Finish cleaning the house because I love coming home to a tidy, fresh house.Do my makeup and then get ready to go into the office.Running down to Milk House and grabbing me a coffee, if that's okay?

Yep.Thank you.I'll see you soon.Alright, I'll see you soon.Bye.Is it just my husband that never answers my calls?

No message can be left on this service.

So originally, I was going to bring Harlow to this interview.I just have one interview today because one of my team members is going on maternity leave.So exciting for her, but can't wait.hurt.I just like kind of slipped it in there.I was like, hey, do you want to like mind Harlow for an hour?

And he didn't say no.So love that for me.This is my kindy day for Malachi.Usually my mom watches Harlow on a Thursday and like I smash out work, hence why I booked this today.But my mom can't watch Harlow.So it's kind of like a hybrid day.

Oh, here we go.I'll call you after the interview.Okay.Obviously back home from the studio now.Today's interview went really well.Oh my gosh, I can't open this.

I don't have time for this.Harlow is napping right now.I have probably like 40 minutes to get some work done.I got a chicken karaage bowl.It's my favorite.Seeing if I am going to order lunch.

It's rice, like a Japanese coleslaw, and then chicken thigh, and I'm so hungry.Talia messaged me.She said, I still feel buggered.If this dustbin of my robovac wakes up my baby, I'm throwing it in the bin.Which, by the way, I still hate my robovac.When I came home, I just went through with like my Dyson and like stick vacuumed my house.

Dumb, I know.One thing I have to decide right now.One thing I have to decide.I don't even want to show you.I'm honestly so embarrassed.But if I show you something, promise not to judge.

Basically, we are refreshing little parts of our house and it's us.accidentally snowballed a little bit.It all started with the couch.Let me just quickly show you.I fear I am going to upset a fair few of you because we get so many questions and comments on this couch.I love it.

Don't get me wrong.I'm obsessed with it.It's by the brand Jardan and it's called the Wilfred couch.It's obviously a very fun pink boucle and it really sets the tone for this whole room.However, two issues with it.Number one, we got a few stains on it.

The boys were eating on there.We got a few stains and then I just like lost all care so I let them eat on the couch now.But also when we got it professionally cleaned, I feel like it came out great.I'm going to show you an up close.Don't think we're gross.We are not grubby people.

I've just lost care factor with this situation here.We've got this and I just feel like it has this great hinge.It's supposed to be this beautiful, vibrant pink.And now it has like this gray hue.Also, it's only a three seater.So I have been wanting a new couch for a really long time.

And I'm thinking of this sofa here.It's called the Nina again from Jardin.had such a great experience with this couch like thequality is amazing.I'm just going to be more on top of the fabric.Believe me, this is not sponsored.

I wish it was.So I'm thinking something like this.

A chase here where you can like have your legs out.

Like I want most of this space to be couch.Maybe it curves around and like people can sit here as well.And we can also kind of like bring out the couch a bit more to this side because this mat is fine, but we mostly had it when Harlow wasn't walking, which he's walking now.for the boys to wrestle.And now we have the dojo in the back.So I can relinquish this mat.

Speaking of mats, this is where, if you judge me, I will block you.I won't.I won't do that.That's dramatic.But like, give me some grace, okay?Yes, I decided to get a cream couch two years ago, maybe?

To be fair, we kept it pristine for like nine months.There was not a mark on it.Then we had a catastrophic blueberry smoothie explosion.And after that, I just, again, I was like, you know what?Eat on the couch.Eat here.

I don't care.This rug I'm gonna show you.

This is the rug we're working with.These are all stains.

It's my own fault now, okay?I love the look, but I am never doing a cream couch ever again.I don't think there'll be a world where I trust my three boys on a cream, cream couch, cream couch.carpet.This is where I would genuinely love your feedback.Please tell me in the comments what way I go with this interior design because I need to redesign this whole space, also including this, but the lounge comes first.

The lounge will set the tone.Two that I'm leaning towards are, and I will show you in comparison to the couch, do I go this kind of color, right?Like I pivot, we stay in like that fresh, fun color palette, but we go more of a sage and I can bring in a rust colored rug.I've obviously been relying heavily on chat GPT to like give me some mock -ups so that is option one option two is more similar to our current couch but a little bit more of a rust color let me show you in comparison to the current couch so similar tonebut this one is obviously a lot deeper.So have a good look.

What do we think?That is the first thing we're changing in the house.

Wanna put a jumper on and go get Fox?Yeah.It's a bit windy now.

Yeah, it's dark.

It's dark.What is this?You are doing such good talking today.

Put you in a nice warm outfit.It's just gone freezing.It's like super windy and Fox and Malachi want to go skating this afternoon.I swear, the amount of sports we do from like 6 a .m.till bedtime is just never ending.

And I promised them we'd go to the skate park, but like, it's really, it's really windy and cold now.All right, it is 3 .30.I've got Foxy from school.How's school, my little friend?Great.We are heading to the skate park.

We're going to the skate park, guys.

Let's go.

classic me. I feel like I always bite off more than I can chew.I feel like I like do everything at once and I wonder why I'm overwhelmed.Okay.So I just wanted to finish off this blog with telling you the four other big changes we are making.Okay.So starting off with a house reno and a house update that we were never

supposed to make, our bathroom bench top.Now, I was always wanting to refresh the basin, like this pink sink, we've had it for a long time and we had a few chips in it, so we just planned to take off that sink and put in this new beautiful green onyx basin that we found.Now, upon Kurt trying to release the pink basin and get it off, he found out that it was stuck down so intensely that we cannot possibly get the basin off without ruining the bench top.So Kurt was basically like hacking at it and now there's chips in the bench top, there's marks all over it, whatever.So we ended up going stone shopping for our build up the coast, Sirocco, that's our holiday house that we're building.I need to update you on that in another vlog.

And while we were there looking for stone for the holiday house, we also picked this slab here.It's a pink marble.The plan now is having the pink terrazzo floor, the pink marble bench tops, and then the white walls.I just need to decide if I like the green basin still on the pink.So if you can comment and you think that would look cool and like different and arty, or if it's just gonna be like.I think it's going to be cool.

I think it's going to be cool.The next update of the house is the outdoor kitchen.We've been wanting to have an outdoor kitchen for such a long time, and we finally did it when we redid the deck and did the outdoor gym.And this is where the outdoor kitchen is going to go.On the left hand side, we'll have a drink bar kind of fridge and then a built in barbecue in the middle.And the top of it is going to be this beautiful quartz stone that we selected.

And we are also replacing that bench top that overlooks that window area.And we're putting quartz along there as well.So it's going to be this nice cohesive L shape.Then the third thing in this area is we're actually replacing this window.It currently is like a bifold and goes to the side which is fine but we actually open this window a lot in summertime and we entertain a lot so we're going to swap it to like an awning window that opens up ways like this and then finallydown the side of the house, we are getting an infrared sauna.

So I, no, no, no.I sold my infrared sauna.We're getting a traditional sauna.Kurt has wanted one for such a long time.So we're getting an outdoor one and we're putting it here in the garden.And that is it for now.

If you have any specific questions, then definitely leave them in the comments and I will get back to as many people as I can.And as always, if there are any specific videos you guys want to see on my channel, routines, questions, sit down chats, then definitely let me know.Because now I just feel like I have a bit more time now that the boys are getting a little bit older and I'm not breastfeeding anymore.So yeah, I guess I have this new, like, not new, but my reignited love for YouTube and like having time to reconnect and talk to you guys.But I hope you enjoyed this video and I will talk to you in the next one.Bye.

Yeah, it's dark.

It's dark.Yeah.
