The Reality of Middle Class Life in America 🇺🇸 | Raising 3 Kids in 2026.

By the time most people are getting ready to start their workday, I've already finished mine. My mornings start at 3 a.m. teaching English online until about 9 a.m. And while most people would probably be ready to call it a day, mine is actually just getting started. Because when you're raising three kids and trying to keep up with the cost of living in America, sometimes one job just isn't enough. Now, while I'm teaching, my husband is usually holding down the fort. He's making breakfast, getting our three kids ready, and taking them to school. So by the time I'm done teaching the kids are gone the house is quiet and my husband is back home enjoying his breakfast And this right here This is my little moment of peace a good book some quiet time and a chance to recharge But not for too long because your girl still has another shift to work So it's time to shower get myself together and clock in for job number two before I officially start my second shift I need to get myself looking somewhat presentable and when it comes to getting ready I'm, definitely a less is more kind of girl. So I do consider myself a plain Jane I don't like makeup, but I am gonna put on something light since I have to do a few video promos So I just keep it pretty simple. I just do like some eyebrow brushing I do need to get them cut and then I just do a lip and call it a day I'm gonna try to pick up the home as I go but because we are home all day we're always like, you know creating content our home is the the set is sometimes it can get a little neglected so I'm gonna show you something this is so crazy I've neglected our closet but today or maybe this week I'm gonna try to prioritize organizing it but this is how it looks because we are always filming we want the the place to look good we kind of just we're like okay like we'll worry about it tonight well we're about to do it right now so now that I showed y'all the reality behind the scenes it's time to get down to business every morning my husband and I sit down go over our deadlines and figure out what needs to be done we both create content for brands so there's always something on the schedule and today my deadline was coming up first so we started with my campaign for a hair vitamin but before we even pick up the camera we have to figure out what exactly the brand wants we're so organized to the point that we even schedule in when we eat I think when you when you do a lot of things from home the best case is like you have to find ways to be as disciplined whatever however you could be disciplined you just have to be disciplined. You have your phone on your left? And is it charged? It's decently charged. Okay, so the first clip is just gonna be me standing in front of the mirror. And before we start filming, we have to make sure our little set is camera ready. Because remember, this is still our home, so sometimes that means moving a basket of laundry out of a shot. And once everything looks good, it's time to get filming. Now what you see online might look effortless, but trust me, sometimes it takes a few tries to get that perfect shot. Once we're happy with the footage, it's time to switch locations. this particular campaign we needed a few shots in the kitchen to bring everything together and just like that another brand video is officially in the books but our work day of course doesn't end here because aside from creating content for brands we also create content for our own platforms and honestly this is one of my favorite parts of what we do we get to be creative have fun and just be ourselves i'm gonna be like here like scrolling and i'm like put the phone now walk over to you to kiss you and then walk on back yeah you're gonna walk let me see let me see you get up and walk right over there no just right there like angle right there where the ipad is there yeah yeah i'm gonna be sitting right there my head's gonna be right there yeah yeah now it's officially time for our lunch break one thing we've learned about working together is that we have to find a balance because if we're not careful every conversation will turn into something work-related. So during our breaks, we try to put the business talk aside and just enjoy being husband and wife. And today that meant enjoying our lunch and then sitting outside listening to the rain. We have two more videos to film today and then we're completely done. Everything else I could for the most part do tomorrow. And if you're wondering why I keep changing outfits throughout the day, welcome to the life of a content creator. Between filming for different brands and creating our own content, sometimes one outfit just isn't going to cut it. But once those last few videos are done your girl is officially clocking out and that means trading in my camera ready outfits for something a whole lot more comfortable because now it's time to run a few errands before picking up the kids from school now today's errand was a quick trip to dollar general because we needed to pick up a few household essentials but can we talk about how america has all these dollar stores okay but nothing is actually ever really a dollar anymore like at this point finding something for a dollar actually feels like winning the lottery but one thing I do appreciate about Dollar General is that they still have a little section where you can find things for an actual dollar and listen with three kids and the cost of living these days I'll take whatever savings I can get so today I grabbed a few cleaning essentials and of course a couple treats for the kids okay we spent $18 everything minus one item was $2 the item that was $2 was my husband's what is this energy boost how is it okay I'll show you guys everything before we end off the video Christmas is coming quickly so I got these gingerbread clear cups for the kids one a piece so $1 each not too bad I got us some body wash I really like these the scent is very nice I got three of them they're candy apple scented smells divine very strong scent and these wet wipes for the car this was on my list some q-tips sponges for dishes i really like this uh multi-surface cleaner it smells very very good and the last bag i did get some candles i like to get the big ones but for now just some single wicks perfect for small spaces like the bathroom we got three of those thank you guys so much for enjoying the day with us we'll see you guys the next one peace
