Everett is so cute explaining the Costco shopping “ways” to Weston 😂. Luna’s pic is adorable 💕🐱💕
Weston is such a big help. It was fun seeing Everett show his brother how it all works. Happy Labor Day Weekend everyone.
"Weston didn't know the displays but now him does." lol
Yes, Everett was feeling like the expert when it comes to all things Costco. He had lots of things to teach Weston. 😂
I can tell you’re an awesome mom!!! The love your kids have for you radiates through all of your videos
Good afternoon Lauren and Mark and family and thank you for sharing your beautiful day
If you try Luna on a leash it's better to use a harness rather than a collar....the weight of the leash doesn't bother them as bad if not around their neck.
Thanks for the tip! Not sure we would ever try it. The poor cat at the park was not happy!
@@ThisAlaskaLife The neighbours' cat used to be one to roam free until he vanished for half a year and was picked up two towns over. As of then he is being walked on a leash as he wants out
@@ThisAlaskaLife my cats hate collars and harnesses, some cats love them. I just built a catio for mine to keep them safe outside.
Lauren, don't worry about your home, it's not that messy. It's called "real life" and with four boys it's hard to keep any home clean. (I know because I raised two boys myself. But now their 36&34 and out of their own with families)
That painting was so cute! It looks so much like luna she definitely seemed to like it as well
Your kids are just adorable! And I’m thoroughly enjoying your halls. Thank you so much
You could also make peanut butter and jelly and freeze them and then they’re thawed by time that the kids eat lunch
Yes! I did that too, it will be in a future video. It has been so helpful!
Jennifer is the sweetest most creative person 💕
Wasn't that painting so beautiful! I love it so much!
I like that you have a garden for vegetables and that the boys and Mark go hunting.
Vegetables and meat can be expensive
Luna seems like such a sweet kitty. Kitties are the best! Great video!
We sure love her! Thanks for watching!
@@ThisAlaskaLife when my kitties hear her in the videos, they look around..lol.
lol little cuties helping Mama...well done boys
Great shopping trip ! Luna is such a sweet heart !! Bless you all !! ❤️🙏
Thanks Bridget! Have a wonderful weekend
Love the haul! But my favorite part was seeing Miss Luna!! Such a lovely gift too!! ❤️❤️
Such a beautiful painting! We have it hanging on the refrigerator and love seeing it! Thanks for watching!
Oh me too! I'am such a lover of cats ❤️ everytime I see a cat I have to pet it. Luna is such a sweet baby.
Yayyyy we going shopping 🛍
Hello from Lisbon, Portugal. We don't have Costco here, we have other hypermarkets, but I love watching your videos! A treat for Luna. I have two kittens: Nika and Misha. Are adorable!
Aw! Hello to you and your kittens! Thanks for spending time with us at Costco!
Hello Portugal, I live in Maine (USA) and we don't have a Costco either 😔
I noticed right away that we didn't see Luna. I'm always happy to see her. Also it was cool Weston came also on your Costco haul
thank goodness I saw Luna...she is sooo gor-juss
I try to remember to have Luna make an appearance!
@@ThisAlaskaLife yes please do
My mother loved rice rolls I would buy from dollar tree for her.
Hi Luna and all the family. Love your shopping hauls. Makes no sense really as we are a 2 humans and I kitty household and my now husband of two years is a new addition to the household. Just love how entertaining I find your videos. I will see if I can find you ladies woollen socks and send some for you and the boys. I am always in and out various shops so I never know what I can find. Sending lots of love to you all including Luna. Yours Karen, Peter and Rocky the kitty xxxx from Melbourne Australia.
I found some this week and bought 4 packs. Thank you so much for offering to look! Thank you for all the love and support, I feel it!
So glad to see Everett shopping with you and also his brother Weston. The food up there is so expensive compared to here in Kentucky. Your grocery hauls will not be the same without Everett now that he going to school.
Whenever you fulfill your deep desire to declutter, consider filming it for your channel. Good luck w the back to school transition!
Great haul,,love watching your children in the store they get so excited about trying the goodies,,Absolutely Adorable,, Luna relaxing in the sun light an watching momma video so cute, Great video 🐾💞 Beautiful picture of Luna ,,Jennifer that is so Amazing 😃👍🐾
Thank you so much 🤗 Jennifer is an amazing painter! People are so kind. Thanks for watching!
Yougurt lasts for months when they are on sale get them and stock up, you can stack a lot of them if you take them out of Thr box.....
Pauline here from Scotland....hello everyone🙂💗
Hello Pauline! Have a wonderful day
Hello happy people's 😊 you are still amazing. Enjoy your day
Good morning Hamm family.Love you all.
Good morning Anna!
I think Luna approved, what a beautiful painting of Luna, Jennifer. You truly captured her gaze.
I was truly interested in the Pistachio creme. Never saw that before. I looked it up, looks like in some cooking corners that is a delicacy. I love the taste of Pistachio. I am going to try finding that for sure.
Loved having Weston on the shopping trip. It was funny how he tried to sneak stuff in the cart. Wonder what Everett will be like when he starts to wander. Any day now he is not gonna fit in the front.
I feel the same way Lauren about End of summer. I spent the whole day cleaning and preparing for leaves to fall, weed wacking, etc. I was about to pull up stuff and I stopped and said, enjoy it for a little longer, don't get ahead of yourself. I am not ready for Halloween just yet. I have so enjoyed going for rides in the country to see the Corn and soybeans, it is still green but just starting to slightly turn golden. The bugs are humming loud, insanely loud. The Hummingbirds are just swarming. It is hard to believe that in about one month, the whole landscape will look different. It has been a happy summer. Enjoy the Sun Lauren while you can, I always do my best brainstorming just looking out into the Horizon. Balancing it all is the challenge. I love that you catch yourself and pull on the Brake a little bit. Your such a joy, love you guys so much. Thanks for the reminder
injoy your day be safe
Thanks Debbie, you too!
@@ThisAlaskaLife thank u to hot in injoy it were haveing a bad heat wave
Back to school already? Time is just flying by, I actually thought today was Thursday...where did Thursday go? 🤷
What a big help your Weston is, I love to see that, it makes me smile! 😀
Totally love the Christmas ornament of Luna, what a special treasure!!!
I hope everyone has a wonderful Labor Day Weekend, stay safe everyone!!! 🌼
Looking forward to seeing you harvest your veggies, good luck boy going back to school
Great Video. Love looking at the cloths at Costco. Fun.
Thanks for another great video!
Love Luna love the shopping trip the boys were very cute so excited for school
I loved. Kisses from Lisbon Portugal 🇵🇹😊😍😍
A bidet for Christmas 🤣
Too funny! They are true boys, obsessed with all the silly boy things like toilets 🚽
@@ThisAlaskaLife I have an 18 year old son, I know from experience 🤣
Ann here from Tennessee. Hi everyone!
Hi Ann! Thanks for watching!
I actually looked for the women's wool socks today at my Costco because I could hear you saying how good they are. I didn't find them, though. I hope you get them soon! I almost bought some soft ankle socks but talked myself out of it. I bought some melatonin gummies a week ago because of you and while my insomnia is still here, they are helping more than anything else I have tried including regular melatonin pills. So big thank you for sharing that! My cats are indoors only, but Zazu had kidney failure for a year before he died and I really wanted to make sure he had the best time possible so I did get him a harness and a leash so he could go outside with me . I don't think he would have ever learned to walk on a leash like a dog does, but it did give him a few feet of freedom without me worrying about his safety. You should try with Luna but I strongly recommend the harness to go with it. Have a great week!
Wow back to school already, I miss those days my 2 are all grown up 29 and 22 lol. Both still at home mind so my shopping is for 4 adults. I worked out the difference in cost between Alaska and the Uk, its on a level playing field for most things, the cost of living has gone through the roof here, one thing was butter we pay £5 for a 750g tub, crazy expensive. Great to see the boys helping out, you all look so well and happy xx
your children are adorable
Thank you! I sure love them!
Lauren any chance of showing us how the garden is coming along please 🌷
I have a garden update coming soon in a fall video. But it’s kind of boring because we have harvested a lot as we have needed it.
Hello from California, I would love to see a Vlog on how you make your breakfast burrito and freeze them! No rush 🐱 Hi Luna 🥰 I have a Cat Stroller I put my Sweet Kitty in and walk her around my Neighborhood 😂
Good Morning family and Happy Friday thanks for sharing love your haul
You’re welcome Tameka! Thanks for being here!
Sharon here from Australia 🇦🇺 😀 ❤️ Hi everyone!!
Hello Sharon! Hope you have a wonderful day!
Your kids are adorable
Love your hauls
Do with your cucumbers what you did with the red onions and pickle them, delicious xx
Yes! Love pickled cucumbers 🥒 yummmm
Those Halloween eyeball bombs would make it good to pass out to kids for Halloween. Put them in a baggie and print off instructions and tie them to the baggie. It's something different than candy. Or you can add some candy to the baggie too! Just a thought.
Stroopwaffles are so good! You can sit them on top of coffee, tea or hot chocolate and they'll warm up and get gooey. I recommend them!
love costco shopping trips hello hope all the boys have awesome school year love from pa
Hello Cheryl! Thanks for watching
Great haul, we are back to school here in Ireland so back to packing lunches too ❤ Something to note is that unless the gummies are made to be broken (like tablets that have a line through them) then cutting them means there isn't an even distribution of the medication. So cutting a 5mg gummy in half could mean there is 4mg in one half and 1mg in the other or even the whole 5mg in one half and none in the other! Just in case you wonder why it works great sometimes and not so great other times 😅😅
Thanks for the insight, I would have never thought of that but it makes complete sense! Have a wonderful weekend
Love your. Hauls .then children are so sweets.we may get a cosco next year.😍
Thank you so much for watching!
Love your trips to Costco. Makes me want to check all our prices. I can guarentee our prices are a lot lower in South Louisiana.
Enjoyed your video and enjoy your day.
Thank you! You too!
Luna approved good video love you guys take care can't wait to see what you going on next
Love your Costco hauls!
Why thank you!
Hola Lauren❗..bueno ya mismo comienzas otra etapa en tu canal...me he asombrado por la cantidad de suscriptores que has ganado este verano..felicidades!
Esperando ansiosa esos nuevos proyectos..no sabes lo que me entretengo con tus videos cuando me siento en el sofá a descansar después de estudiar todo el día...desconecto y me divierto. Muchas gracias Lauren por tu trabajo...💜
Just joined Costco here in michigan. Love it of course we had a hot dog on the way out yum
My first time watch is the Price is higher at your Costco in Alaska because 6.99 for a bag of sweet peppers is very high
Welcome! That is unfortunately our standard price for the peppers. We somehow get used to the higher prices and just pay them! Thanks for watching.
Hello Hamm Family. Another great video Lauren. I remember those busy days just before school started, except I homeschooled our son. Couldn't imagine doing it with 4, although my sister-in-love did it with 6 (7 boys total but sadly Caleb passed away at 4yo from leukemia). Still, preparing for the school year can be exhausting. Take time to relax your body and mind, and always remember to: just breathe. One accomplishment a day is better than none, yet sometimes none is a good thing. I'll be missing lil Everett once he starts kindergarten. Have an awesome year Everett, Weston, Bennett and Hunter. I'm off to make sweet potato treats for Maggie (dog). Make some spinach balls and Challah Bread, fold some laundry, wash some dishes and take care of the litterbox (joy). Oh, by the way, when Luna was on screen, both our cats, Dakota and Ash, stopped to watch her, meowed "hello" and pawed at her on the TV. Too cute. Have a Blessed and Happy Day ❤️
Recipe, if interested:
Equal parts Mr Yoshida's and Panda Express Orange Sauce (or equivalent). Pour into ziplock bag or dish and mix thoroughly. Add in steak (or meat of choice) and coat completely. Set in fridge to marinate 4 hours or overnight. Grill to your liking. Enjoy 😋
I use ribeye or tenderloin for me and in a separate bag, I use chicken for my Hubby (he has the Alpha Gal allergy, so no mammals for him). It's good on fish too.
You’ve got a busy day ahead! The boys are off to a good start at school. Thanks for being here, we are so grateful! And thank you for the recipe, I took a screenshot so I can try it!
@@ThisAlaskaLife , thank you. I'll be ready to curl up with a cup of tea and a good book by days end. Glad to hear the boys are doing well. I hope you enjoy the recipe. Take care.
Thank you for taking us shopping with you. It's crazy to see how different the prices are. also, love your ring, what kind of stone is that...it's beautiful!
Thanks Kelly! My ring is a white topaz. Not my real wedding ring, need to get it resized. But I enjoy this one as a stand in for now. Thank you so much for watching!
They are soooo cute 😍 💕 💖
Thanks 😊
❤️ love your family!
Loved that black shirt - hope it comes to Costco Canada! Great haul!
The sides have the seam on the outside and rub on my arm all day long. I kept thinking something was wrong. Just a heads up. The shirt looks good, just feels a bit weird to wear.
My dietician (i am on a very strict diet where I need all the vitamins I can get) said that Gummie any kind of med isn't very reliable as the medicine isn't in the gummie, it is what is sprayed on the outside. So there is really no way to be sure you are getting what the label says as it can rub off or transfer. I am a grown woman eating flinstone chewables! lol PS I want a pantry tour! It looks lovely from where you are standing! Maybe a "put groceries away with me" vlog?
Hello from England!!! I love your videos 😊 I wish we had a Costco and a Luna here
Hello Emma! Thanks for watching! Luna says hello
Great haul, thank you for sharing.
I saw you last Friday at Costco but I didn’t have the courage to say hi 🤦🏼♀️(introvert’s life), if I see you again in the future I’ll force myself to say hi, I promise 🤷🏼♀️

Love your videos 💓
Thanks Cheryl! We are so grateful you’re here
I should get the eyeball cocoa for my cousin. He would love them since he is an optometrist
I hope they have a great school year. Check Fred Meyer this week because Kroger has a weekday sale for 2.50 for waterloo limit of 5 with digital coupon.
Thanks for the heads up!
If you’re talking about the merino wool socks, they have them on the Costco website. (I realize that getting stuff shipped to Alaska can be prohibitive, but hopefully that means they will get them in store again this year.🤞🏼)
You did good today at Costco !! Fun having Weston and Everett today !! 😀😀😀😀😀
My great grandson calls the bidet the hiney wash! 😅
Love that!
can you shar your recipe for breakfast burritos please🙂
Your prices are so expensive in Alaska! I’m in California and our prices are less. I’m sure it has to do with the cost of freight. Have a great week 👍🏼🌴
Yes, it’s a long way up here to Anchorage! Thanks for watching!
Plz make garden harvest vlog
The problem with a garden harvest vlog is that we have been harvesting as things have been ready and eating it all along the way. I will show more of the garden in a Fall video very soon but it may be a wimpy harvest because we have eaten a lot already!
Hi Lauren, lovely to see Weston, Everett with you Shopping with you, gonna Miss Everett, on your Shopping Trips, hope ur all well, just an Idea if it's Possible, to see a School Morning Routine, but if it's to Hectic I totally understand , till the Next luv to u all 🇬🇧
Ha! I guessed $379...not far off!
Yes, very close this week!!
Greetings from Italy :D We do not have Costco here as well, lots of supermarkets and hypermarkets but none as big as Costco. I love watching your videos, you have a wonderful family and Luna is a really sweet girl! I have two cats, Theo & Ollie, my two furry terrorists xD I had to hide all my plants in the living room and lock the door because they liked to destroy them :P She looks so calm compared to mine! Anyway, you all have a wonderful day and enjoy the last days of summer before school starts again. See you in your next video :D Deb
You keep saying the crunchy rollers are good. I have seen them before but they didn’t look good to me, now I have to try them. I also want to try the fruit leather.
I save all my chicken bones I put with or w/o veggies n seasoning n put in instapot set 4hrs on pressure cook n bout 3 hrs in I put 3 more hours on it n man I get the best bone broth . I made without anything but bones for dogs n with veggies n seasonings for us freeze some or put in jars n store in fridge n use through week
My Costco in Tennessee is half in all the prices you pay.
That is a big difference! I would have fun shopping there!
Fun video... I was close I said 342.00.
Love the Costco trips. There is not one close to me. It will be different with all the boys in school. You will miss your littlest sidekick. Will Everett go to school all day for 5 days each week? Thanks for sharing.
Yes, Alaska does full day kindergarten. He will be with Weston and Bennett so he is excited. Thanks for watching
why dont you buy 2 or more sausage n throw in freezer
Already have a spare in the freezer and we have to have room for a moose very soon!
@@ThisAlaskaLife well that makes sense 🤔
You need an aldies and Krogers
We have Fred Myer ( Kroger Affiliate) but you would be shocked by the prices there! Alaska is just expensive because everything has to be shipped here!
I'm not a fan of oatmilk. It's like liquid oatmeal for sure LOL. I'm an almond milk person. Coconut milk is best for yogurts!
That’s exactly what it tasted like 😂
Please let us know how the sandwiches turn out, I would be afraid they would get soggy. Did you share your smoothie recipe before? Seems like you did but I can’t find it
Love your videos
The sandwiches have been so good, they beg for them. I will show making them in the next video. I do need to show the smoothie again because I don’t know where I have shown it either!
The prices are horrendous. However you get some healthy food for their school lunches.
Watermelon here in Michigan runs 4.99 to 7.99
I would swoop it up at that price!
Ask and they will get them for you or find what store has the socks
What is the brand name of the wool socks....
They are the Kirkland brand! I found some at another Costco this week and was so happy, I bought 4 packs!!
❤️🇨🇦
Hello Diane! Thanks for watching!
@@ThisAlaskaLife I love watching your life and videos…. I live in Central Ontario Canada and enjoy learning about Alaska❤️🇨🇦
How long is the Christmas list 😱😂😂
HAHAHA
We have a Luna too! She’s all white and spoiled rotten
Love it!!
$400
Got an issue with your kids watching and relying on their electronic devices GIVE THEM AWAY or hide them. I Didn’t have a cell phone until I was 12-13 but that didn’t last long. I played outside when I was a younger I remember my childhood CLEARLY. It’s sad todays children won’t say the same thing. If I have kids I’m gunna turn into my parents my mom mostly and just SAY NO and NO MEANS NO don’t give in either even if they throw a temper tantrum. STAND YOUR GROUND.
We don’t have smart phones or video games around here for our kids. Thanks for your perspective, it’s a good reminder! I am so thankful that my kids know how to play outside and enjoy life without electronics. I’m also really grateful for a few minutes of quiet when they do get some computer time.
Melatonin can cause a boy to develop breast looking boobies. My nephew Aaron developed breast and come to find out it was because of the Melatonin my sister said. I'm not 100% but maybe look into it.🤗🤗🤗
