    Hi Kaye....Just found your channel and I'm sooo glad I did. I'm a Canadian senior who married a Brit MANY years ago. We live in Canada{ Edmonton, Alberta } but in years past have travelled back to Britain at least twice a year to visit my husband's family. My darling husband has been in long term care now for 7 months and the decision to have to place him broke our hearts. Even with help I cannot look after him safely at home. I spend every single day with him till evening and then come home to a very empty house which continues to break my heart. I do have my soul cat though who is a huge bundle of love and comfort. I found your channel so calming and sweet and look forward to following you. Fondly, Dorothy.

    Yes!!! Let’s do it together! You literally just described my whole situation. I want steady, honest and determined change. I’m want to be healthier and make changes that are sustainable. I love to watch your videos because you are so relatable and motivating. I would love to have you as an accountability partner for the changes we’d like to make. Thank you for being you and sharing your life!! ❤

    Hi Kaye. Have just watched this with my morning coffee and thoroughly enjoyed it. Such quality time. I have stopped watching quite a few of my other channels because of the overwhelming consumerism. This was a breath of fresh Yorkshire air. X

    I really appreciate your honesty Kay - I have ME and suffer with anxiety and depression making it very difficult for me to focus on tasks - I have to pace myself and take frequent breaks between tasks so knowing I’m not alone in this is a huge help xxx

    Dear Kay please don’t be hard on yourself, you are a wonderful Mother, Wife and Daughter. Everything doesn’t have to be perfect, your house is beautiful, take time for yourself and if you need to sit down for 30 minutes in between doing things - sit down and recharge, you will feel better for it ❤, but most of all enjoy your little one, they grow up so fast, my ‘little boy’ is 36 this year with a little girl of his own and I sit and wonder where the years went. Enjoy life dear Kay and don’t sweat the small stuff, be kind to yourself 💕🇨🇦

    I absolutely loved this video Kay and I know that I can relate to this like most people :)
    Your dress is beautiful and, since I have been reading my Bible and focusing on a more traditional way of life, I am drawn to dresses and more feminine clothes and I know my husband loves it too and it makes him want to be more masculine, focusing on traditional roles is making us so happy :)
    Have a wonderful afternoon xxx

    Cut yourself a bit of slack you are doing a fabulous job, young child, a husband and a new home, as for your weight you grew a human in your body and your body will find its happy weight when it is ready took me 26 years and i still have a bum bag mum tum 😅 x

    I feel you when it comes to clothing. I struggle to find anything I like and I feel like nothing suits me, and I can't seem to find my style either. I think you have the right idea, wear more of what makes you feel happy. I would recommend a soup maker if you like soups, chop your ingredients then bung in the soup maker for 21 minutes and you have yourself a nice healthy hearty winter warmer that's quick and easy 🙂

    What a pleasant video to watch first thing in the morning. Hang in there- having a toddler is......well, how do you even explain it? I have been a mom for 36 years so far, always having children at home (bio and then foster kids). I find toddlerhood the hardest on the mind and body. You are doing amazing and you have inspired me today. Thank you for taking the time to share your sweet life, home and thoughts with us.

    You are beautiful & you are pretty! I loved this post, as it's full of wisdom for mothers. You've got this! Just remember to take time for yourself, just like you said. Maybe one day a week that you have a grandparent watch the little one or daddy takes care for the evening. Mothers do so much & in order to keep doing all the things, we have to take care of ourselves! I've got grown children now & I'll say that it was hard, but it was all worth it! Ps. That dress is beautiful on you! 😍 Keep shining your light on this channel; you're making a difference for all the other Mamas out there in the same stage of life! 💖

    Try thinking of a THEME for meals every day of the week… Mexican on tuesdays, Italian on fridays, comfort food on Sundays (or traditional), seafood on Wednesday, no meal Mondays. Breakfast for dinner…whatever you can think of ! Really helps that you (and hubby or kids) know a Mexican meal is coming tonight, so don’t have a taco for lunch etc.

    Love this video. At the end of 2024 I was feeling pretty crappy. Always tired, never really very motivated and just struggling in general (we had a really rough winter over in the southern hemisphere as well with constant kid sickness) so I decided that this year I was going to be intentional with getting up everyday, getting myself ready, eating enough protein and going on walks. Nothing major but just those little things to reset makes a big difference

    I love meal planning and meal prepping as tools. I struggle with decision fatigue and lack of energy in the evenings. I can decide on a Friday night what I'm eating all week and then prep it on a Sunday night, and it makes me so happy. I'm set for the week. I make it extra easy by eating the same breakfast, lunch, and dinner for the work week. Planned spontaneity on the weekends.

    Thank you for another beautiful video! I definitely “feel” your comments on decision fatigue. I am an elementary school teacher and am just utterly exhausted at the end of the day most days. I feel like I just can’t possibly make one more decision. Meal plans and prepping meals during the weekend are my lifesaver!

    Thank you for yet another inspiring video from you!
    I was exactly looking for someone to join me in my new year resolution. I have to loose weight and it is always lovely to have someone to remind you and inspire you through the loooong path.
    Let’s do it together, in our own way! We can do you!
    Love,

    Lovely vlog Kay and good morning 🥰 I’ve started a healthy diet this January and totally relate to what you said about not feeling great in how you look, I’ve ordered a few new clothes this morning for that exact reason. Just fancied a change and to dress how I feel in myself now, rather than how I used to feel.
    Really motivating watching you, as you balance what you say with the slower living aspect.
    Have a lovely weekend ❤

Sometimes you just have to find what works for your body and stick with it! I even heard this from a PT, keep it simple to stay consistent 🥰

    Hi Kay, I think you are you no matter what the season of your life. I’m much older than you, I love wearing dresses, I wear make up every day and I do to please me. I too have learned to live life slower, which isn’t the same as doing everything slowly, rather, I am more in the moment and allow myself to just be. I watch the birds a lot more and really enjoy the seasons. I no longer have goals in my life, rather, I have intentions. Be kind to yourself, you are a lovely Mum, wife, and homemaker. Take care xx

    Good morning Kay!
    Hate to do this, again...bc I warned you about refrigerating your onions but I noticed you also have fresh potatoes in there. Im not trying to be critical, just offering some friendly health advice which Im sure you can appreciate.
    Im going to keep my answer short and you can research it for yourself but...
    When refrigerated potatoes are cooked at high temps whether baking, frying, or roasting, they can create a potentially dangerous chemical. High temperatures cause the glucose and fructose developed in cold potatoes to combine with an amino acid (asparagine) to produce the chemical acrylamide.
    Research suggests acrylamide may cause cancer: specifically kidney, endometrial, and ovarian cancer.
    The EPA says the chemical is “likely to be carcinogenic to humans.”
    If you choose to continue refrigerating them, soaking them in water for 30 minutes before using apparent reduces the risk.
    Hope this helps. 🙏🏽

    I agree. We need to not be hard on ourselves. And not compare ourselves to who we were. We change as we age. That's OK. And our bodies change. You have had a baby. Your body is different now. I have lost an inch and a half in height. Things don't fit like they used to. That is ok. Moving and a balanced diet are the best thing for us. But relaxation is needed also. Again, it is about balance. I only wear dresses and skirts now. Partly for religious reasons. But also because I am just more comfortable in them. I was never comfortable in pants. Leggings and tights are for layering. Be you and do what you feel best in. Have a wonderful week. ❤
