Your vlogs and blogs are such a breath of fresh, frank air! I also work from home and my husband needs extra caring some of the time, so you'd be amazed at how often your day is totally relate-able. Looking forward to hearing about how other mothers manage their work/home/life balance.
You are the realist person I know of on UA-cam. And I appreciate it so much!!! You say things all us other moms are thinking!! Keep it up Ruth! You're doing a great job💕💕💕
It’s so nice to see you Ruth. Always enjoy the fact that you are so real, genuine, warm and down to earth. When I look at you with two young children, a big new house to get all set up, along with you professional work, even I can feel overwhelmed, but you seem to have this ability to just get on with it, which I admire so much. And all the while, you inject your fantastic sense of humour into whatever life throws at you. Thanks so very much for giving us this window into your life-it’s a gift.❤️😀👍🇨🇦💋🌎
I began to imagine Downton Abbey during the second viewing through the window at the gorgeous countryside with the piano music, and then you showed the bedroom. !!!! I can see why you love it, the house, that is. Lovely! Thank you for the glimpse.
I love that you show real life, no perfect show home, a bit of mess, specsavers glasses and high street clothes.....so refreshing you're not all about luxury and designer even though I'm sure your lifestyle can afford that. Breath of fresh air xx
I absolutely love Ted’s old room! Beautiful high ceilings and such character, the natural sunlight and the cows! Some day I am going to visit the UK and likely won’t want to leave
Regarding decorating your home all at once and just getting it done, or taking your time... it really depends on the overall look you're after. Personally I would choose to take my time and deal with my current things that might not "fit the feeling I'm after" until I actually find what I'm after. My home might not be ready to be in a magazine immediately, but I'd rather work on curating amazing pieces than have a house full of quick and temporary, cookie-cutter pieces. However, if you have the budget and desire for a quick and fabulous fix, a decorator can curate amazing pieces in which the non-decorating public doesn't necessarily have access. Pick and choose a few key rooms or go all out and have them do the entire house! You can have as much input or as little as you desire. So many choices... and so much fun! I hope you'll enjoy the process, regardless which direction you choose to go.
Hi Ruth if you haven't already dealt with the shower gel mess, try getting your friendly local plumber/heating engineer to come to your house with a Vax (wet/dry hoover thingie) You can also just hire a vax from a plumbing shop...good luck!
I only found you late 2018 so am watching old and new videos going back and forth in time! Love the Ninja image that was conjured up when you spoke about your chimney sweep and, so agree that more can be done (sometimes) in 10 minutes than a whole day. So many of us work better under pressure.
It makes my day watching your volts. Real, funny, sensitive and creative. Your inspirational that you can create the film like videos that everyone can relate to. Well done Ruth xxx
You and your family are lovely Ruth. I love that ted goes backwards on his scooter. Angelicas big hello. And mr bear just owning whatever space he is in 😀
My God this house has such a good vibe to it! It's full of light, it's airy, it has an aura I can't put my finger on but it's defo positive. Prefer it much more to the other one which seemed more gloomy. Great choice! Loving your videos Ruth, just watched this one before going to bed and I feel so relaxed! Keep up the great work!
I can relate to what you were saying about the funeral.My father has just died and I'm dreading the funeral, I know I'm going to be in bits but I have to go. I loved your vlog , your so down to earth and relatable and your home is beautiful, I hope your very happy there, I love the countryside ,I couldn,t live anywhere elsexx
Yes I’m so sorry too x horrible time - but from experience, my dad passed almost 3 years ago and it does hmm get better.. the feelings evolve x you just need walk the path first x
Hi Ruth! Thank you for a fab video. I loved the background piano music. Cant wait to see new series of videos with working mums. Also, could I ask you to do a video or blog post on how you chose a nursery for Angelica. What are the options and a bit about the whole system on how it works. Because my daughter is similar age to Angelica and living in London I am a bit concerned how to chose the right one for us. Many thanks. ❤️
I definitely enjoy driving on my own much more than I used to, now that usually two kids accompany me. Or going on the train by myself. Just peaceful time with my snacks and my music and I don´t have to share!
If you wet the area where the shower gel got on the carpet and then use a white towel and a hot iron the hot iron on top of the white towel suck the green up into the white towel. No more stain just make sure use a white towel so you don't have any color transfer from the towel onto the floor.
Yeah vinegar will defoam it, also a those little pet wet vacuums are brilliant for these sorts of things. Sucks it out without spreading it around. Also, podcasts are fabulous if you drive rather a lot.
Definitely interested in working mum videos. How they started out (was it before/after kids etc...) Back to work myself later this year and now have two kiddies to juggle! Need inspiration and motivation on how to try and manage the two successfully 😀
Love watching your vlogs, the week in the life of ones are so good! Your so down to earth and honest. Not too sound like a stalker but I too would love to meet you, especially now you live in Somerset where i live! Keep up the good work! Have a great weekend xx
When I moved into big Georgian house, first thing I did was paint/clean every cupboard/wadrobe and the "kitchen offices". That way you can at least unpack and find everything - which is the worst part of moving! Also easier to make decisions about individual rooms once they are clear.....
Hi Rosario Smith from the Bronx, I'm from Queens N.Y. Nice to see a Yankee neighbor. L.O.L. Ruth living in Bath, is like Downton Abbey. Her house looks grand with fireplaces everywhere. Ruth, your doing a great job and life is messy sometimes so don't stress yourself.
Hi! Would love to see those videos chatting with working mums! Just about to become one with a busy job in corporate and would love to listen to some advice and life experiences. Great idea Ruth!
Interviews with working mums would be great. As a Mum of two who’s just about to go back to work after Mat leave, it’s always good to hear how successful women juggle everything. I’m dreading it to be honest! X
Put some kitty litter on the stain. It should absorb all the shower gel. You can Hoover then reapply til it’s dry. (Have a kid who’s been mad scientist with bath products since she was a toddler.)
Your children are so sweet! Yo DO have so much to do! 😂. What is the music you have playing at the hotel? When you open the curtains and show us the fields... so lovely! Condolences, Ruth.
Sorry about your friend's passing, Ruth. Juxtaposed with your adorable, clever children, it does run the gamut in this vlog. The Car Driver Secret Confession on Friday/notFriday greatly amused me! Your house seems airy and comfortable, and the settling-in process is interesting. TFP : )
Sorry for your leak. I think it would be better if you stopped flooding the leak with water and blot it a lot esp with microfiber towels would be best. You could use the weight of the basket or other to weight it down. You could check with rug manufacturer and or who sold you the rug to find out what best to use to clean it. I’m sure you’d find something on Amazon, the main thing is to dry it up. A dryer of some kind or fan will help dry it out. So sorry for the loss of your friend, I just went thru same. Always hard. So sorry my love, Mr. Bear isn’t well. What seems to be the problem. Will pray for him and you all. You look lovely. That hair! That skin! Great idea for the Uphill. Would love it! Stay well. God bless. How’s your Mum? Love, Rachel, USA
Sounds as if you are like me re the time thingie....Loads of time & I fritter, short of time &"it" gets done = We work better under pressure ! Lovely vid, thank you.
That would be a good series on the uphill channel. I'm on mat leave and going back to work but will be leaving as my place of work are not too accommodating. Would be nice to see working and being a mum work
Sez Martin Wilson that’s a shame - it’s such a big thing, going back to work after a baby. Hope you find somewhere more accommodating and friendly that suits you and your family x just gone back to mine after 8.5 months off! Scary but settled back in so easy - she loves nursery and frankly, I’m loving my adult time back at work. Appreciate my baby so much more now xx
Yes I would love this kind of video (chat with working mums) I am just starting up my own business so any tips on how to juggle family and kids will be great... I know I must be silly, two under two and business.... But I miss the part of me that was bringing money into the family and doing something beyond being a mum. Is that silly to say?
Alice Wilson don’t think that’s silly at all... even though raising kids is a job, you somehow feel like you’re - as you say - no fully contributing? I understand tht.. then I remind myself, put a cost on all the work we do..! Soon adds up! But yes, to get back to work and bring some bacon, it’s such a fulfilling feeling! - even if it’s just to bloody cover nursery costs or bills!
princesscharlott1983 its not just the money, it would make me feel like I am capable of doing something other than wiping bumps 😀 Especially I am not due back at work until mid 2020! My country has very generous maternity leave in terms of time (not money)
I think I am in the minority and I do not miss going to work everyday. I love staying home with our kids, it is such a blessing. And to be honest, if I was working outside the home, most of my paycheck would go towards day care or a nanny. I know women who are staying home (because of the high cost of child care) but they don't want to and others who are working and would give anything to be a stay at home mom.
Stefanie Medina I not ready to be away from them yet and wont go into work away from the house until at least 2020,but i do want to find an outlet for my knowledge and experience. I am unlikely to make money to start with anyway but if it makes some by 2020 I might be able to work from home rather than go back to my job (my employer has to keep my job for me until june 2020)
I wasn't paying attention doing a million things at the same time, so for a second I thought that amazing hotel room was your house redone! Haha I was very impressed 😋 Love the black parka on you, looks sexay 😉
yes please do a video with your friend!! I'm a mom and a beginner beauty blogger ,if u care to follow me I'm @theelizabethparedes on Instagram😘. I love u so much your my favorite

Margy Slater this is such a lovely comment, it made me feel a bit emotional and it wasn’t even to me hahaha
H Midd Hi-thanks. Warm wishes from across the sea.🇨🇦😀
I laughed out loud when Angelica said "hi" to the camera, she's a mini 'model recommends' already. So so cute!
I loved all the scenery and music. I felt like I was in a Jane Austin movie. Love your new house! Your always a delight to watch.
I began to imagine Downton Abbey during the second viewing through the window at the gorgeous countryside with the piano music, and then you showed the bedroom. !!!! I can see why you love it, the house, that is. Lovely! Thank you for the glimpse.

You are so funny. I have replaced ‘that sucks’ with ‘so that’s good’. Lol, thanks for the vocabulary changes! ❤️

I really appreciate your comical moments with your children. Angelica says, "Hiiiiiii!". Such a cutie!!
Love your weekly catch ups Ruth,it’s like chatting with a great friend,thanks!❤️

Tilly Down so sorry xx
Yes I’m so sorry too x horrible time - but from experience, my dad passed almost 3 years ago and it does hmm get better.. the feelings evolve x you just need walk the path first x
So sorry for your loss. Sending you strength and hugs 🤗. X
Love the bits showing your beautiful children. Angelica saying hi was so cute. I was hoping she would talk some more.

hahah "Let's pretend it's not Friday, IT IS Friday" I love how real you are and I adore your personality :)
I definitely enjoy driving on my own much more than I used to, now that usually two kids accompany me. Or going on the train by myself. Just peaceful time with my snacks and my music and I don´t have to share!

Your skin really looked amazing...curious what foundation you've been wearing these days.
Yeah vinegar will defoam it, also a those little pet wet vacuums are brilliant for these sorts of things. Sucks it out without spreading it around. Also, podcasts are fabulous if you drive rather a lot.
Wonderful - I so look forward to your videos! "Oh, hello hair!" love love love your vlogs bull of babies, animals and real life stuff :)
What a lovely house you have now. It must be a dream come true.
Definitely interested in working mum videos. How they started out (was it before/after kids etc...) Back to work myself later this year and now have two kiddies to juggle! Need inspiration and motivation on how to try and manage the two successfully 😀

Please tell me you're not going to cover up those to-die-for gorgeous stunning wood floors with carpet? :O
You can't cover up all that beautiful floor with carpet!!
Had a little tear when Angelica said hi 💛
Hi Rosario Smith from the Bronx, I'm from Queens N.Y. Nice to see a Yankee neighbor. L.O.L.
Ruth living in Bath, is like Downton Abbey. Her house looks grand with fireplaces everywhere.
Ruth, your doing a great job and life is messy sometimes so don't stress yourself.
Mr bear sitting on those carpet samples! And Angelicas “hi!” Love your vlogs Ruth x
Hi! Would love to see those videos chatting with working mums! Just about to become one with a busy job in corporate and would love to listen to some advice and life experiences. Great idea Ruth!
Interviews with working mums would be great. As a Mum of two who’s just about to go back to work after Mat leave, it’s always good to hear how successful women juggle everything. I’m dreading it to be honest! X
Yes to the interviews! That would be amazing.
I always look forward to a AMR's video. Your children are delightful. And your house looks quite magnificent as well!! Greetings from New Zealand.
I really had to laugh hearing you on Lydia's channel referring to "big Clock"...💟this pure British cheekiness
Wow Ruth what a beautiful Georgian home. Looks like your living the dream. Loving your vlogs and blogs x
I love your house so much. A real treat to see it. Thanks!
Best best best vlogs!!! Always enjoy and they always make me laugh out loud
I screeched when I saw that dinosaur head! It gives me so much life!
Put some kitty litter on the stain. It should absorb all the shower gel. You can Hoover then reapply til it’s dry. (Have a kid who’s been mad scientist with bath products since she was a toddler.)
Your children are so sweet! Yo DO have so much to do! 😂.
What is the music you have playing at the hotel? When you open the curtains and show us the fields... so lovely!
Condolences, Ruth.
Ah we all love you to pieces! So funny and real
I've done that stain trick for red stains orange stains green stains in the old crazy colored stain and I have dark oatmeal colored carpet.
Your home is absolutely beautiful!
Sorry about your friend's passing, Ruth. Juxtaposed with your adorable, clever children, it does run the gamut in this vlog. The Car Driver Secret Confession on Friday/notFriday greatly amused me! Your house seems airy and comfortable, and the settling-in process is interesting. TFP : )
Yes please to interviews/vlogs with working mums! I'm a mum of a one-year old and also work from home so that content would be amazing! xx
I vote for the dinosaur head to be in the background of all future videos 😂😂😂
Congratulations with new pregnancy Ruth ☺
mehri nurayeva ??
She isn't pregnant!
What a lovely house and take your time with the decorating
You are such a brilliant person! Love your vlogs so much
I would drown the shower gel stain with White vinegar! then blot and blot. It will slow down the suds! and help take the green color away
When you described your chimney sweep all I could imagine was "Now eez ze time on Sprockets ven ve DANCE!"
Your vlogs are my favourite. X
Add vinegar with the water and gently blot on the rug stain
Just what I was going to say. Blot with white towels so not to add color to the carpet.
Vanish is the answer to everything!
Susan Beattie - Yes to Vanish if you have kids/pets/a husband!
a portable steam cleaner can suck up dirty water (and clean the rugs). hey, at least it's soap and not vomit!
When will your dry shampoo be available in he USA?! I would love to try the unicorn and fresh scent!
The cat took over the carpet samples. lol The kids are growing like weeds, time flies.
Sorry for your leak. I think it would be better if you stopped flooding the leak with water and blot it a lot esp with microfiber towels would be best.

Stay well. God bless. How’s your Mum?
Love, Rachel, USA
Im procrastinating as well. Little girl having a nap, she hardly naps these days. Should b doing stuff but I'm drinking coffee watching this 🙂😀
Have you tried the Trinny London products?
Ohhh yess the stan smith adidas...i've got for myself a pair...i just love them
Gosh I love that coat, Ruth. Could you make a video where you recommend coats again, please?
Thanks for being my adulting goals 👍 love your vlogs
Mr. Bear is the highlight of this video
Sounds as if you are like me re the time thingie....Loads of time & I fritter, short of time &"it" gets done = We work better under pressure ! Lovely vid, thank you.

Would love the new series! Although I am not yet a mom, I would like to harvest a bit of confidence :D
What make are your glasses? 👓
"Don't eat that wire" lol.
Hello, I always love your video! Can I know the title of the song at 6min 40sec.? :)
Why have you moved so far from London?
Yes I would love this kind of video (chat with working mums) I am just starting up my own business so any tips on how to juggle family and kids will be great...

I wasn't paying attention doing a million things at the same time, so for a second I thought that amazing hotel room was your house redone! Haha I was very impressed 😋 Love the black parka on you, looks sexay 😉
Sounds like that would be an interesting series
Nice dinosaur head! :)
Angelica said hi to us!! 😭😍
We love you.
you live in a gorgeous area, so peaceful..
I really enjoy your blogs (sorry for using this word) too
Love the country! Just get your home done all it once with a trusted professional decorator.
Ohhh...the babies are sooo cute...hiiiiii 🌷🤗
Angelica is growing up so fast, she's a hot ticket!
I do love your vlogs xx
Hi beautiful love your eyeglasses love your videos very much thank you😚❤
