    Every day I get so many emails and comments asking why you can’t locate the music I use or find it using Shazam. I purchase music licenses for almost all the music you hear in my videos. I buy them them from various royalty-free production music sites and most of the time they don’t list the performer because it’s music made only for film productions with an audio watermark throughout the entire track, unless you purchase the single-use license for $50-100 per track. I use a lot of opera so often I’ll reference the opera but I won’t be able to direct you to a recording of that specific performance that you could stream or buy on iTunes or Spotify. Hope that clears things up and thank you for appreciating quality music.
    Please don't follow me on Facebook as that person is not me - they have stolen my identity for the past few years.

    The baby’s laughter. The color of the sea contrast to the sky. The heavenly Greek music. Food. Feta. The wine. OMG. I. Want to be there immediately. I adore. The color of his hair as he grows up. His laugh is delightful. And did I mention the quality of the drone shots. AMAZING. WELL DONE 🌼🌻💛🌻🌼🌼☮️✝️✝️🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻💛🌻🌼💛

    Thank you so much dear Kylie for taking us along. It must have been challenging for you to film this while being so exhausted and on a well-deserved holiday! I'm so sorry to hear that Gianfranco is still experiencing trouble sleeping--they often say that most health troubles are miraculously solved once the child reaches the age of two. Wishing you more calm nights soon and a wonderful weekend ahead. Greetings from Belgium xxx

      So beautiful Kylie. The food looks amazing!
      Many years ago I had a friend with eight dogs who howled all night. We made a tape of mantra music from the kundalini tradition I teach and she played it on repeat all night. It calmed the animals and she could finally sleep.
      I think any sacred mantras that please you would work. There's plenty out there set to different kinds of music. It's important to use mantras because that's what affects the brain. Maybe worth a shot.
      Greece looks gorgeous. I want to visit now! ❤

    Your Dad doing his daily morning yoga is amazing!
    It's sad the holiday was shadowed by such an extreme lack of sleep, especially since it's so unnecessary. I feel like society can make mums feel if they're not martyrs that forsake their every basic human need for months on end, then they don't love their children. Waking every hour for a toddler does not have to be normal or endured. Of course, it would be best to check with the paediatrician that nothing is wrong, but he is likely simply waking often because he hasn't been taught to settle himself and so needs the breast to settle. Sleep training doesn't have to be harsh, I did gentle sleep training. It takes a lot more effort and patience and time compared to cry it out methods, but it works.
    No one should have to have broken sleep for such long periods of time, not you nor your child.

    Καλωσορισατε!!! Welcome Home Kylie μου, for Greece is not a foreign country. Your elegant and wise grandfather knew this and your aesthetically stunning video proves it.
    I dedicate this to you and your wonderful family and above all, to your mother and to Gianfranco, for your dear grandfather definitely knew it also:
    Ithaka
    BY C. P. CAVAFY (Constantinos Petrou Cavafis, born in Alexandria Egypt 29 April 1863 and passed away in Alexandria Egypt 29 April 1933)
    TRANSLATED BY EDMUND KEELEY
    As you set out for Ithaka
    hope your road is a long one,
    full of adventure, full of discovery.
    Laistrygonians, Cyclops,
    angry Poseidon-don’t be afraid of them:
    you’ll never find things like that on your way
    as long as you keep your thoughts raised high,
    as long as a rare excitement
    stirs your spirit and your body.
    Laistrygonians, Cyclops,
    wild Poseidon-you won’t encounter them
    unless you bring them along inside your soul,
    unless your soul sets them up in front of you.
    Hope your road is a long one.
    May there be many summer mornings when,
    with what pleasure, what joy,
    you enter harbors you’re seeing for the first time;
    may you stop at Phoenician trading stations
    to buy fine things,
    mother of pearl and coral, amber and ebony,
    sensual perfume of every kind-
    as many sensual perfumes as you can;
    and may you visit many Egyptian cities
    to learn and go on learning from their scholars.
    Keep Ithaka always in your mind.
    Arriving there is what you’re destined for.
    But don’t hurry the journey at all.
    Better if it lasts for years,
    so you’re old by the time you reach the island,
    wealthy with all you’ve gained on the way,
    not expecting Ithaka to make you rich.
    Ithaka gave you the marvelous journey.
    Without her you wouldn't have set out.
    She has nothing left to give you now.
    And if you find her poor, Ithaka won’t have fooled you.
    Wise as you will have become, so full of experience,
    you’ll have understood by then what these Ithakas mean

It is your soul's eye that allows us to witness the beauty. The above is just the revered Cavafy's reinterpretation of the endless 'νοστος' of the Greek soul for his homeland, since the time of Odysseus himself.

I have a connection to Greece that goes beyond anything I can explain in words. The sweet scent of the earth and shrubs when you smell them on that first morning makes my heart glow with love & tenderness every time I’m there. You grandfather! How courageous -and how handsome!!

      Marybell - you simply must go. Don't put it off. You will never regret it. But you have to get a grip of your mindset. Be prepared. Greece belongs to the Greeks. Of course. But they simply have no idea how to run a country. Be prepared to gasp at the rape of beautiful villages (especially on the coasts of the islands); derelict buildings; lack of planned and financed opportunities for the people. Watch this video again - when Kylie shows you where grandfather lived, just focus on the houses & cottages. What do you see? Collapsed rooves, empty shells, a derelict and lost community. But go! Go! Experience the food, and the music (all from Turkey, actually), the pure clean seas, the sun, the blue skies . . . and the attitude of the people - just put it off 'till tomorrow. Or the next day. Please do it. Try Corfu as a more 'civilised' starter to your adventure - because you will go back, and back and . . . . Michael xx

      @@michaelpenyard7129 Michael, the music is not from Turkey. You can go down history lane and study the history of music. It's right here on UA-cam. The Greeks didn't end in antiquity, we still exist. There is a distinct difference between TURKIC music and throat singing and what you hear in this video and all Greek music. There was the Eastern Roman Orthodox Christian musical tradition which is still alive and kicking. That's where these musical notes and words are from. As for the state of the Greek people and their villages, all you have to do is watch Kylie's video post again. What's wrong with Greece is that we went through an economic austerity package imposed by others. One of many throughout the centuries pre and post WWI and WWII and all the wars imposed on us after, including the Balkan wars and the civil war. The Greek people you are referencing also include Kylie's grandfather and grandmother. They resemble my set of grandparents too and so many other Greek people's grandparents. So please, spare us the judgement. You should visit Greece again and realize the beauty of the Greek soul that still has the ability to live, and love and create even after centuries of being subjugated and trampled on from every direction.

My heart always skips a beat with delight when the Italian people or any other individuals find they have Greek DNA. I thank God in his wonderful wisdom that we all still exist. Visit Greece. Go to the islands that are off the beaten track, to places like this in Kylie's video. Go the monestaries in Meteora and the ancient monuments in Vergina /Pella. Go to Crete but take at least two weeks to see all of it. Go to the Peloponnese, all over.

    I could absolutely smell the sea, taste the moussaka, and feel the sun through your video, Kylie! Greece has a certain parched and angular austerity to it that so contrasts with the lush curvaceousness of Italy. Having traveled in both countries, I prefer Italy, yet I can see how the majesty of the Greek mountain rocks plunging to the sapphire sea gave rise to the feeling that the gods dwell there.

Your baby needs to "self-soothe".. you do that by going to lay him down again..NO VOICE.. QUIETLY, UNTIL HE LEARNS TO SLEEP! You're such a great MUMMIE, but somehow you can't let him cry. If you can't, ask your parents/friend to take him for 3 - 7 nights...you will be surprised by the outcome. YOU deserve better my dear, and don't let all those well meaning parenting books take you captive! Again, I think you're

    Kylie, Having spent my childhood in a small Australian country town, at that time they would have asked themselves why? Why did you leave your own country? Why did you chose Australia? Why our town? I remember being sent to buy homemade butter from 'new Australians' who had purchased some cows to support themselves, rather than the grocery store. So, so many stories like this, although my mum was special. It was simply, why are you here.
    When my little boy 18months-2 years was teething I placed a clean dummy under his pillow each night and explained it was there to help his teeth coming through. They understand so much more than we imagine. Many a morning it was someplace else. Tell him Mummy is very tired and needs more sleep and can he use his dummy. He was f a r too busy chattering during the day for a dummy. My philosophy was always "let us reason tother". He's intelligent.

    Kylie, Ive commented several times to say that our boys are but a couple weeks apart and they seems to be so in sync with changes and developments, ours too is wakeful from dusk to dawn every evening, tears of exhaustion and trying to wrestle with a very strong bear cub to calm him. The other morning when he woke at 3:30am, I decided to utilise the light June morning and headed to a new artisan bakery that opened at 6 a short drive from us, I arrived there at 6:01 & enjoyed hot coffee and a cardamom knot whilst (of course) my baby fell asleep, sending much love to you xxxxx

    My youngest started waking up all night at around that age and it ended up being his ears. That would explain the comfort in sucking. I’m sure you have explored this but JIC I thought I’d mention it. He was an angel during the day but laying down and sleeping OUCH! After getting tubes he was fine.
    I’m in love with Florence but Greece is on my list! Thank you for your work! 🙏🏼

    Thank you for sharing your lovely family holiday. How precious. Pleased to see your father doing yoga and pilates, he looks so strong. What a beautiful family you are and an example to all to enjoy life when you can. It's very hard at times with a young baby and sleeping but this will pass. Thank you

It’s so helpful and we enjoy being together. So I can relate. I hope Gianfranco is sleeping better now that you’re home.

    What a divine vlog!! I felt as though I was in heaven and it was perfect. The sun, the flowers, the gorgeous food! Gianfranco's giggles and him doing yoga with your sister. I'm so glad your family was with you to enjoy and also help out when you were exhausted. Your family is absolutely amazing! I will be rewatching this one again and again, along with your last vlog in Tuscany spending time with family. I particularly enjoy these leisurely, sun-drenched times. And lastly, G's dimpled little knees! Just so sweet. 😍🥰❤️

    If you keep nursing him when he wakes up, he will wake just for that . He doesn’t need it for nutrition at this age , he doesn’t need anything at night ,it’s purely comfort , but you yourself need rest .
    You need to let him cry through .
    Go to him, reassure nothing is wrong , say nothing , leave the room , or go back to bed . Repeat , do that he realises it’s not worth the getting you up . Any reaction is a bonus so eventually he will realise .
    I’m a mum of 7 , and a registered nurse .
