So nice to see someone who has a routine w/kids AND have an outside job. Thanks for showing schedules…as a working mom we have to juggle being productive and family…thank you for the videos..very inspirational..glad to know I’m not alone in the mom life juggle…

What time do you usually go to bed?? 🌙

You are totally incredible, Lauren! Now I’m exhausted for the day, just watching what you do BEFORE you even get to work! Your children are going to have memories that will outlive them and their children! On another note, I love the colander- tray - basket you were using to wash and drain veggies and fruit. Can you tell me what that is please? I love to watch the amazing things you do!

Great ideas for lunch! Would your kids like Tortilla wraps? Get flour tortillas heat 1 on the stove, Mash avacado on it, alittle salt and pepper And shredded lettuce,, tomato fold the tortilla wrap in Saran wrap for their lunch boxes. My daughter loves when I make them.

Love the working mama videos! Balancing a career and pouring into children is truly amazing!

We visited your winery a few years ago when we were in Napa! It’s one of our favorite wines! Thanks for sharing your daily routine and your creative vision with us!

I used to buy holiday napkins (paper) to put in my kid's lunch boxes. I would also put a small post it note with an encouraging word or phrase on it. 😊

What a beautiful workplace/drive. Great morning start. A woman after my own heart. My youngest is 21, not at home, & I still but baby wipes by the case because they are ESSENTIAL.

This video brought tears to my eyes with the beauty it holds ...I find it so motivational since I'm a mom of4 myself new subby here ♥️

This is just stunning. Thanks for sharing the drive. Always wanted to see what your workplace looked like. I wish I could wake up at 4:30. I know I’ll get so much done. For some reason I just can’t seam to get up out of bed.😆 but this is very encouraging. Maybe I should try this routine.

Thanks for taking us to work with you-what a beautiful drive! I loved your ideas for bento box lunches. Have a great day.

Hi Lauren , Your kids are so fortunate to have a Mom who is so loving and caring. Those gourmet lunches are fantastic. And a homemade breakfast !!! What a great start to their day I love that fruit strainer you use. Do you have a link for it or remember the brand ? Would love to get one it’s so practical . Have a wonderful and blessed day

This is probably the weirdest comment you've ever gotten but your voice is just so aesthetic I just enjoy watching you🤣🤣❤️❤️

I’m in aw every time I see one of your videos. I feel like “heck yes let’s do this” thanks for the mommy motivation. 🙌🏼☀️

You're the best mama ever! I know your children will have the very best memories of their childhoods.

I have two girls…one in college and the other is 15. I make her bento boxes too! We have discovered the good and gather hummus from target (it’s the best store bought that I have had) so I include that and naan bread/cucumber/ carrots half the time. A typical bento would be the hummus/bread/veggies and a fruit and something sweet. Another option I do for her is a mini charcuterie bento box.

What a beautiful day! Thanks for sharing! Love the green water cup! And the fur babies are adorable!

So on point! As always a pleasure to watch. 🌸

I am always so impressed to hear more about your motherhood journey. I really enjoyed your QA that you did to learn more about that part of your life. I’m curious to know how you built such a successful career that you love while balancing everything else you have going on. I believe you said you were going to school at some point? I’d love to hear more about that as well. I feel like I’m struggling sometimes being a new mom and balancing everything else. Thank you for the consistent motivation.

You look so pretty!!! I love how you do your kids lunches and your drive to work is lovely, so peaceful 🙌🏻😇👍🏻

The Peter rabbit plates! 🐇 I struggle badly with routines feeling “confining”. I have children and I have one go-with-the-flow child, then another one who absolutely THRIVES with structured routine. He needs to know what to expect. Thank you so much, from someone who knows the importance of a solid routine but struggles with executing things on lists. I know I will find my balance ❤️

What a pretty and peaceful drive to work. Lauren you are amazing. You accomplish a lot in the morning. It definitely motivates me. I have more energy in the morning, I guess most people do. I know some that have more in the evening. I like to be organized myself, it helps and I think is important, less stress. Have a blessed week.

God bless you, you are an inspiration and an amazing Mom and wife 🙏🏼♥️

Lauren you do so much taking good care of your kids and then cleaning up and getting yourself ready. It’s Amazing the amount of stuff you get done.

This is still amazing for me to see your morning routine, and all that you have to do each day. You're a very strong, determined, and dedicated Mom/ Wife. And the incredible thing about it is it's not just one day. You really have your priorities, and get it done. Have a great day at work, and enjoy your dinner tonight. I hope I'm not crossing the line,or being disrespectful, but I love your manicure and pedicure. Your manicure is on point. Very nice. Again thank you for inviting us into a day In the love of Lauren Nicolsen.🙏

Lovely video! You’re amazing and I think being organized is key to keep up ❤️

Loved the morning routine video!!! That California drive was beautiful ❤

I want one of those lunches! Love your drive to work. Have a great day.

Loved this format! X

I love the bento boxes routine🥰 I have 3 grands 2 girls which are school age and a 4 year old boy going on 30 🤩This will be helpful for me when we go on picnics and outings. Thanks 🙏🏾

Hot Main Dishes: I put these in a thermos Mac & Cheese, Rice, Pasta, Soup, Corn Dogs, Nuggets, Taco Meat (I pack Tostito scoops and toppings on the side) mini burgers, hot dogs. Cold Main Dishes: Pasta Salad, Cobb or Ceasar Salad, Ham & Cheese Roll Ups, DIY lunchable, Nutella sandwich (special days) Snacks: Hummus with Pretzels or SnapPeas, cheese cubes or shredded cheese, guacamole with chips, pepperoni slices, yogurt with granola on top, meat stick, rice pudding, chips and salsa, kale chips. Sweets: I always give them a sweet because I know for me I like something sweet after my meal. My kids always get fruit but this is extra. I would pack like mini muffins, Kellogg's pastry crisp, cosmic brownie, cereal bar, homemade fruit leather, homemade cupcakes. I always pack a Main, a snack, something sweet, a fruit and a veggie!

Thank you for sharing! Have a beautiful day, Lauren! ❤️

Wow... Just wow. I'm just over here think where the heck does this amazing woman find the energy to do all this with 4 kids. I am very impressed. I have 4 kids 10 being the oldest and 1 being the youngest and I have number 5 due in Feb. My mind is blown.

What a beautiful calming video. I just loved seeing your drive at the end, absolutely stunning 😍 ❤️

Your so organized in every way! You really make things s p equal for your kids. You looked really professional and pretty in your outfit. God bless.🙂🙏💞

Would love if you would do a grocery haul with a weeks dinners! Your videos are so inspirational to be the best mom I can be! I love how you say you now like to make being home fun!

So organized. I need to get a bento box for myself. Super cute outfit and ur drive to work is so beautiful. Thanks for sharing apart of ur day.

As a little different lunch item I will occasionally do the mini bagels with cream cheese, salami, dried mangos and mini baby bells. Cute cup! Sam’s club has a very similar one in a pack of two, with the same green and a black - $20!

Nice to see how you pack your children's lunches. Pretty and scenic drive you have to work.

Really enjoyed the beautiful drive!💖 Thx and have a wonderful week!🌸🌻

oh my gosh, you're the mom we all needed. 😭❤️

I love all your videos. It makes my day productive. Was wondering if you workout and if so can you include your workout routine . It will help me get pumped up to do mine 😆 Thanks for the great content.

Love your home!! So beautiful

You are an amazing!!! mother, your little family is so blessed to have you. It reminds me of what I did for my four boy's back in the day!!! Just treasure it they grow so fast!!! And question what is the song that is playing in you vehicle? Have a great Day!!

You are one of my favs!! Can’t wait to see you Easter 🐣 video

Hi. I wonder if you get up at 5, what time do you go to bed to get the rest your body needs?

Great video…..we are so lucky to live in such a beautiful state.

Hello Lauren, I really loved this morning routine😃and I feel so inspired. Love from Argentina💗

Beautiful and classy as always!

Loved seeing your drive to work at the end…so pretty 🌳

Lentil nuggets are great option. Semolina and almond powder energy balls. I have a toddler, I give him fruits after he eats some carbs and proteins . But I make sure to add some veggies and fruits every day. I hope it helps. And I ❤️ all your videos.

Great video Lauren!

My kids are older and pack their own lunches. I make enough dinner the night before for them to pack leftovers. We put the leftovers away in individual servings so they are quick to grab. We pre-warm thermoses with hot water so reheated leftovers stay warm till lunch. As for snacks, I stopped stocking crackers and "snack" food a few years ago. They can grab a piece of fruit, cut up some cheese. Sometimes I have salads for them to grab too. If we don't have enough leftovers, I keep bread on hand for them to make a quick sandwich. Breakfast: some weekends I make waffles and double the batch to freeze for them to reheat in the toaster. Other weekends, I make an egg casserole or egg bites baked in muffin tins. Breakfast burritos are a favorite of the teens because they can grab and go on the way to school.

That was an awesome video 👍👍 you are doing a awesome job y'all have a blessed day 🙏🙏❤️❤️❤️❤️

Beautiful ride!

Wow 🤩 Lauren 🤩your really super quickly!!! 👏👏it so beautiful the views ❣️on way of your work !!! Thanks for all tips!!! 💋

Good Morning, my kids are seniors in high school and I still use a bento box for my daughter. One fun snack I give her are grape or cherry tomatoes and small mozzarella balls on a toothpick. It looks cute is healthy and fun to eat.

I just randomly found your channel a few days ago and didn’t realize that you live in my neck of the woods! How funny! We’re so lucky to live in such a beautiful place. 😊

This was so inspiring. Love Shoppe Twelve! 🛍💕

Watching your video brings me back to when my kids were little. I don’t know where we get our energy from. My kids are grown and I don’t have half the energy I used to have. Anyway, I love your drive to work. Wine country is a favorite of mine. Can’t wait to go back.

Great video on your morning routine and getting yourself ready for the day! Thanks for sharing RitualLN20 too. Love how you do your hair and your fashion style!

A working mom too and i also do bento for my kiddos every morning ❤️ you're morning routine is such an inspiration 💜

I’m new and I really enjoyed your video.

I loved seeing your world outside the house…thanks for the drive :) you should add that more often. People that live far away from Vineyard type world are curious.

Good morning this is first time watching your video and I must say you are AMAZING!!!!

Got my interest on Bento & ritual!!! 😊

mani on point sis!!❤️❤️

Your good. This is alot to be doing at 5am.

Love your printables

Where did you get that plastic drainer from? Its the one that looks like a basket. I really need one of those! 💚

Love❤️ Have a good day!

Hey Lauren, super cool video of your drive to work, thanks for sharing! And, I love love love that red LOVE sweater -- where did you find it?

I’m really enjoyed waiting your video you you are amazing

Awesome lunches and bento boxes 👍🏽

That seems like a ton of food. I am curious do your kids eat all or most of it? I find the kids don’t have much time to eat at snack and sometimes at lunch

The minute i get notified i drop everything to watch your video and then rewatch it a million times ❤

Great Mom hacks ! Bravo 🤗🤗🤗🤗

I make “lunchables” for my kid but healthy. I do the make your own pizza kits as well as crackers, pepperoni, and cheese. My older girls also enjoy taco salads and sandwich sliders.

Please post the boutique in your town! Love your style !
