+grapefruit1992 I agree when Austin asked her if she was sad about her brother being sick and she said "No I'm a princess and princesses aren't sad" I thin that has to be one of the most epic responses like ever !!!! Go Audri with your smart self!!
"Do you just feel so sad for Kailand when he's sick? Audri: No "Why he's your little brother" Audri: Because I'm a princess and princesses aren't sad OMG I laughed so hard 😂😂❤️
So, I'm 6mos pregnant and my husband and I just had the conversation regarding what Brit was talking about. We want to embrace the pregnancy and parenthood as best as we can. We really don't want to be those parents that complain about everything because so many people would love to be in our shoes and having a new baby. Granted, we know it won't be easy, but God blessed us with this gift and we want to cherish every moment .. even the tough ones.
I'm 6 months too and that's the one thing I worry about, the one day when she decides she doesn't need me anymore so I want to document and cherish all the little moments with her before she doesn't think I'm the coolest anymore!
+Cher Smith Congratulation, just as i was about to write a comment, the i saw you three ladies saying you are 6 months pregnant. embrace your pregnancy. Time do flies. In a few years when you look back you will have hard times remembering every aspect of it. Soon your heart will over flow with joy.
+A.Little.Janie aww, no your child will need you forever. Remember even when she/he will be 40, it's still your baby. Don't worry children knows and see how their parent treated them, in return they will cherish you. Congratulation on your pregnancy.
Austin, looking back, i remember when Audri was a little baby and now you and Britt are the parents of three lovely children. You two grew in the same direction of love and family. Stay blessed.
I like it when you and your wife just talk and have fun. Even though you have kids, you make time for each other, and the kids. Maddox is so awesome, beautiful, just like your other two kids. Continue to teach them love, sharing is caring, all the qualities that make you two so totally awesome.
Our neighbors hate us 😩😂 We're the young couple that bought our home 5.5 years ago and our neighbors are elderly. We have a dog that constantly escapes the house to roam, which doesn't help our case. Otherwise, we're usually pretty friendly!
I love how both of you relate to your children. I especially like how Britt teaches them, and talks to them when sitting at their level. You seem to be very patient with them and you are good at redirecting negative behavior or attitudes. I really respect those parenting skills!
I'm an introvert but when we bought our first house 2 yrs ago in a neat little mid-century subdivision (moving from the city) we knew we wanted to at least know our neighbor's' names! Sad I know but we lived in a rental area for 17 yrs and only knew 2 neighbors during that time due to thigh turnover -- though we stayed a long time. Now, while we don't have dinner together or are "friends", we have just the right amount of neighborly contact (for me anyway). We know all the people around us and we all look out for each other and our houses/property. Our neighborhood also uses the Nextdoor app which is great for meeting more neighbor's and posting community info. You guys should look into it.
I don't talk to my neighbors, since my next door neighbor and across the street neighbor moved. And I barely did that. My husband, however, was the social butterfly superstar who talked to our neighbors all up and down the block! Since he passed away 10 years ago, the neighbors have also changed. The vibe is also different.
Ella Gallagher Thank you for the acknowledgment. You know, you have to keep living. I'm doing ok. "Acting" like it's normal he no longer occupies space with me anymore. Believe me 10 years has't helped that. Did not/will not remarry (because he's the only one I want(ed). I'm now taking care of my mother who has moderate Alzheimers. We're doing ok. Thank you again.
+gunnysgirl No problem. Glad you are doing OK. I know its tough, but its gonna be good. Remember to do what you think he would want you to be doing. Hope your mom does good. You seem strong so keep being exactly that.
I agree strongly with Austin at this point. Cell phones have changed us in SO many ways to the point we avoid face to face conversations with people we don't know. I remember once in school, our teacher made us turn our phones off and have a 15 minute conversation with someone in the class we have never spoken too. I'm mostly an introvert but those 15 minutes were awesome and they changed my whole view on getting to know more people and not let my phone isolate me and create a barrier around me.
I agree it is a lost art talking to people. My grandchildren ask me "grandma why do you talk to everyone". Audrey is like my granddaughter Anna, no I wouldn't cry, she is very matter of fact. I believe cell phones have hurt talking, communicating with others. It is sad😢 Love, Hugs and Prayers...praying for my buddy Kailand.
I loved that you touched on the whole cell phone thing. Cell phones have definitely changed our world. Its actually pretty messed up to think they people would rather scroll through their feed instead of talking to each other. I'm challenging myself to do that less!
Britt, you are absolutely right that you should enjoy the "now". My babies are grown and gone now and I miss them like crazy. Holding them because they wouldn't let me put them down seemed like a pain sometimes then, but those are precious memories now.
Britt--I ALWAYS say what a wonderful mother you are! And Austin, you are a great dad too. It's a blessing you are able to stay at home with your beautiful children:). Be encouraged and keep up the great work. Sending lots of love.
Our neighbors are Italian. It's always cool to try to communicate with them. My husband speaks a little Italian, sometimes we end up playing charades because of the language barrier. It's amazing how we can converse & understand each other without being fluent.
Awww 3.53 Baby Maddox :-D I know there is alot of buzz around baby Finley and by golly he is cute but I'm still getting an amazing baby fix over here :-D Do you agree :-)
you guys are such good parents to Audri, Kailand and Maddox! Like seriously, when my baby pops out in December, i want to be able to be as calm as you guys, and never lose my cool! Yall seem like you have the parenting thing down, and that;s what i want!
In our neighborhood everybody talks and wave at each other, I'm not sure if that's a southern thing or people are becoming more friendly. Our neighborhood also has a ton of children and that helps in the parents meeting each other through our children. We should all get back to be loving souls having this beautiful human being experience.
When I lived in the mid west, we talked to all our neighbors. Everyone was so friendly! Now living in New England, no one socializes in their neighborhoods. I do really miss that!
Yes. We sometimes have Canada Day block parties and make different parts of a dinner at different peoples houses. Like, pre-dinner appetizers across the street, salad at the corner house, main at our house and dessert at another. It was really fun.
I am right there with you, Britt. I've been working on that too. It's hard having a 1 yr old who doesn't sleep, a 6 yr old who is energetic as all get out, and an 8 year old who is super sensitive, and also dealing with my own health issues. But I MAKE myself turn toward my blessings everyday and ENJOY my kids even when it is exhausting and crazy...because you're right, in the whole story of our lives, this is just a tiny blip of time...and it will be over before we know it.
When i moved into my neighborhood eight years ago I was dancing late at night with my window open. THE NEXT DAY my neighbors brought some pie and talked with my parents about my killer dance moves LOL. They had kids my age and so did the family down the street and years later were family. we make gingerbread houses around christmas, go to the pumpkin patch, nice dinners around birthdays! I got lucky but you could to, neighbors can be really cool
oh we so love our neighbor's on both sides of our house we are so like family ,we see one another almost everyday they are like grandparents to our kids we have been neighbor for twenty five years and sometimes in very upscale neighborhoods people's tends to keep to them selves but not ours best place in the world to live is our block! just so love living here.👪💑
That is so true . When I was younger we knew, talked to and played with everyone on my block. Now that I'm grown and married with kids on a different block we have the best neighbors on the block and there kids are very nice and respectful. Having great neighbors makes the neighborhood better. We even let one another know when we are going to be gone and they watch the house.
I grew up in a cul de sac where all our our neighbors were super close and it was honestly the biggest blessing. It's basically line one big extended family. I do think it's less common now, but definitely think it's worth it to go out of your way to get to know your neighbors!
All my neighbors and I have lived next t each other since we were Audrey's age or younger and we feel like brother and sisters, even though people have moved in and out. It's seriously the best!!!
Little ones do grow so fast. My oldest four are 21 down to 13(and I have two a lot younger) and I so wish I could go back and relive those years when they were all little. That time is so very short and very soon they are independent and you miss it terribly.
I usually mainly comment on Kai but I CAN'T with how adorable Audri was in this vlog!"don't push my dad"*the whole part about princesses not being sad and Brave and shooting people in the face with arrows* SHE IS SO CUTE!
Totally get it, in my country, people don't really move as often as we do here in the states, so over there, our neighbors are literally extended family, it's amazing !
My neighbors are like my family! My siblings and I grew up with the other neighborhood kids, we had group dinners and block parties. Movie nights while our parents drank wine lol. I have lived in the same home since I was born and am 24 now, and some of my neighbors have moved away, but we all still keep in touch. Honestly my neighbors were there for my family in ways, and during times when even my immediate family was not. Meet and greet your neighbors! A gigantic portion of my life has been affected because of the friendships we made with our neighbors.
In this day and age it's common to forget about personal relationships between people in a community but I'm thankful that when I moved to my neighborhood we ended up knowing EVERYONE and the community basically helped raise me lol I'm friends with mostly everyone that's around me! 😁
I think it's so weird how people don't talk to their neighbors. Mine have been there since before I was born and I consider them my family. Even when my neighbors across the street moved we still invited them to cookouts and visited them often. And when all the kids come home we hang out and it's like we're 6 years old again riding our bikes around the neighborhood, even though we're all in or have graduated from college. I can't imagine my life without them.
I moved from a small village a few yrs back,moved to where I am now,got talking to one neighbour,hed actually lived in my village. -n the 90s,another time,said morning to an old guy,we got chatting,turns out he was from the village,grew up with my nan,and her seven siblings,small world! Love you guys xxxx
My neighbors are like family and on my cousins street we know everyone and each night during fall we have a fire. We go to each others parties and again they're like family to me and its not even my street lol
We're the youngest family on our street and I love that we have older neighbors! The couple next to us alway let us borrow tools and they even gave us a $100 shop vac for a case of beer!
Love your videos as usual. I agree with Britt to enjoy the time with her little ones because they will soon be grown. I had the pleasure of being at home raising our 2children for the past 18 yrs. My 1st born is in her 1st year of college & I just returned to work. So keep enjoying your journey with your little ones. The days are long but the years are so short!
that intro explained exactly how I feel about my nive nulls ❤️😩 I literally just started watching like last week but I'm hooked. & its funny you guys mentioned your neighbors too, I took my puppy out for walk & met one of mine with her puppy, it was nice lol hope your week gets a little less germy! :)
Awww! Kailand with his Blippie shirt . . . The cuteness is real! *smirk * Hooray for the long version of the Intro Song on a Monday! Yay!!! Whooo! We have a neighborhood association that has meetings and picnics. We're kinda connected with the surrounding 8 neighbors around our house, so I guess that sort of counts. I don't think it's a bad thing to do, actually. Kinda like old fashioned manners. Shout out to Britt, cuz the belly has seriously deflated since the "Attack Of The Pregnancy Belly" vlog! Whooo! *applause! *
Unfortunately in our neighborhood our neighbors refuse to speak. We've tried to speak. We baked cookies and took them to them, and we also made dinner after one had surgery. Yet to no avail they don't reciprocate or even recognize the gestures. It's so sad. I miss my childhood neighborhood everyone was friendly and we had parties at each other homes etc!
I live in a small town so it's very common to know literally everyone on each block. LOL! We always joke with my dad about his lawn....and so now he has a friendly competition with the neighbors whenever they mow their lawn. I'm sure it's a little different if you live in a bigger area though. It's easy to go for a walk and say hi to people I know......or that my family knows...Small towns definitely have a sense of community.
Brit looks amazing! I had a staying in the pj's day today as well, sick babies do that to you. My 3yo was rocking out to your intro. Momma of 4 here, yes embrace the moment! This was my favorite vlog. PS My son's name is Maddux.
We moved into an apartment in Jan 2013 and slowly became close with our neighbors above us. By may we were having bbqs and playdates because they had a son our sons age. this past February we both moved away but still tried to keep in touch and meet up. in August their son (at 2 years old) was diagnosed with aplastic anemia. we finally were able to see them last weekend and brough them dinner. they are some of our favorite people.
Oh Britt, I had the same embrace the cray day today. I literally walked around all day with smashed banana on my shirt. You just laugh and move on. My son just hit his first tooth and I broke down. It is moving way too fast, but I love it. I know he will be like peace mom one day, so I totally agree. And yes I do talk with my neighbors. They watch my home, pick up mail when we're away and vice versa. Our dogs play together too.
I have a older neighbor and she is awesome...I just had a game day yesterday with her yesterday and we talked about her younger years and she told me about how hard it was being in interracial relationship(she is white), and how she was never able to give her husband kids. Also how she still has a glass of wine almost everyday lol. I truly love that little lady and I'm so blessed to have met her. Btw we are going to a hockey game on the 17 th of November can't wait!!!
I enjoy talking to my neighbors and just saying a simple "hello" to people as I walk past them. I try my best to embrace community. I don't have any of the social networks, so outside of checking UA-cam and my email, looking down at my phone would be awkward to try to avoid conversation, because I would not have much to look through! Lol I suppose I could just scroll through my photo gallery next time. Nevertheless, it does not bother me. I have a three year old daughter so I try to teach her by being an example that talking and being friendly to others is a positive thing.
I don't talk to the neighbors in my neighborhood but I have no other choice. I support 90% of my neighbors(if u know what I mean) The kids set fire in my back yard, steel my lawn lights, my tenants grill & their parents speeds around in the biggest cars. They're so dumb they always forget that there's a speed bump. Ever so often you hear boom, pop, errrrrkkks, thump etc. I'm at peace when I'm at work
Times have changed, when we were kids we did activities but we weren't shoved into an activity to fill every waking minute like kids are now. Parents end up spending all of their time shuffling kids around making it hard to meet and spend time with neighbors. I think it's rare to find neighborhoods where people gather together anymore.
There's this older lady in my neighborhood that my mom sometimes visits to give her some company. My mom prays for her, helps her w/ things around her house, etc my neighbors are like my extended family in a way
Oh no, we definitely do the isolation thing over here in London haha...we do get on pretty well with one of our neighbours and usually stop to chat. But the other neighbours, it's more of a polite "Hi/Bye" sort of thing.
I guess it's because I live in the Netherlands, but people here have a lot of contact with their neighbors. I think it's because the Netherlands is smaller and we have to share space, if that makes any sense lol also (and this actually has nothing to do with this), there are special days here where streets are closed off for cars so people can organize a "neighborhood day". Children can play outside on bouncy castles or whatever, neighbors can have a drink, there's music...idk I think it's kinda cool and it brings everyone together.
I know when I was younger, I feel like my parents were cool with our neighbors. I think part of that had to do with me and my brother playing outside with all the neighborhood kids. Our parents would always have cookouts and birthday parties and invite the kids we played with. Their parents would come too, so our parents would get to know theirs. We also had block parties and neighborhood watch groups so it was easy to socialize with everybody. Everybody was always really nice and would watch out for one another's kids when we played in the street or at each others houses. Kids don't play outside with neighbor kids anymore like I did when I was younger.
I have only met one of my neighbors twice...when they came to our garage sales lol. and we bought our house 3 years ago. I have said hi to my others neighbors kids when their ball came in our yard. lol
I'm originally from a small Village/Lokshin in RSA where everyone there is friendly and family-like, you can borrow stuff to and from your neighbor without anyone being awkward about it. Then 5 years ago i moved to a cosmopolitan city and everyone is individualistic, i still don't know my neighbors or a lot of people after all this time mainly coz everyone is just minding their own business, the first week i came to the city i greeted a lady on the street and she asked me "i'm sorry..do you know me from somewhere?" back in the village its rude to pass someone without saying hi or making small talk....maybe its a cultural thing but i prefer village life of a community :-)
i live on a kibbutz.. all the neighbours know each other.. its really easy to meet up with friends because you just walk over .. its really nice knowing all the neighbours and them also being good friends.. the only problem is that there is not much privacy ...
Great advice about motherhood with a two year old and 1 month old twins the struggle is real sometimes. your right they will not be this little for long.
I'm friends with my neighbors and all our kids play together. I'm in Brooklyn, NY and that is not that common lol but the families on our block are pretty tight knit.
our neighbors are very friendly and helpful specially since they helped my grandparents put there lights up for the holidays every year and help us with the backyard and well we all help each other
No we are just cordial when we see our neighbors (hi and good bye!). Occasionally, we may ask how they are doing. To much bickering and talking about one another for us to get more involved than that! We know who they are, but that's about it. When my hubby and I were young, we knew our neighbors and were friends, but times have changed quite a bit and you have to be very careful who you let come into your life and your home. Especially when you have children! Love your vids!
I talk to most of my neighbours but it's also hard because they're all french... But I'm also never on my phone in public because I like to be aware of my surroundings, I don't wear earphones outside either.
So sweet...we had a busy Sunday too. Have you guys been to a pumpkin patch this year??? Please check out our video of Olivia and Sofia picking out pumpkins. Much love DuckAndKim :)
we are friends with the neighbors on both sides and one across the street, the other neighbors on the block some we speak to and the others we don't. The ones across the street are like family we just hit it off with them.
I love those little talks you have with Audri... She's so smart for a 3 year old!
+grapefruit1992 I agree. I love when she states her opinion and speak in other languages
+grapefruit1992 I agree when Austin asked her if she was sad about her brother being sick and she said "No I'm a princess and princesses aren't sad" I thin that has to be one of the most epic responses like ever !!!! Go Audri with your smart self!!
+Damara Boyd I know right..very smart
Loving the new intro..Audrey was so serious about not pushing her dad.lol too cute
It's not a new intro it's just the full version, before they just used one clip from it
+Stephanie Bianca its probably new to her
same here love the songs didn't know he was a music artist
"Do you just feel so sad for Kailand when he's sick?
Audri: No
"Why he's your little brother"
Audri: Because I'm a princess and princesses aren't sad
OMG I laughed so hard 😂😂❤️
Audi was so serious when she said it
+Amatullah Muhammad (VidsWithAmy) With two little brothers, she'd better retain that "princess" perspective or they will run rings around her, LOL.
+YT4Me57 You know it! Its tough having brothers, I have one myself.
+Amatullah Muhammad (VidsWithAmy) i have 3 😪😭
Amatullah Muhammad So do I, LOL!

Audri has no mercy. Bahahaha! Gotta love her honesty though lol
"Be nice to my Dad" 😩💕💕😆
Austin, looking back, i remember when Audri was a little baby and now you and Britt are the parents of three lovely children. You two grew in the same direction of love and family. Stay blessed.

Loving the new intro Austin, awesome job! :D
Hi sweet treats u make awesome vids
Shaniha Lovell Thank you! :)
the song or the actual intro song that someone else made?
I love how both of you relate to your children. I especially like how Britt teaches them, and talks to them when sitting at their level. You seem to be very patient with them and you are good at redirecting negative behavior or attitudes. I really respect those parenting skills!
8:12 hahahahahahahaha! Austin speaking in tongues.
+Jrboyd19 I had to rewind it and I cracked up laughing ..
Lol yes 😂
Love this family
me too
Britt made an EXCELLENT point about motherhood! You can either complain about how hard it is, or you can embrace and enjoy it. Great point!
maddox is literally the cutest baby on earth! your kids are children goals!!!
THE SPEAKING IN TONGUES GOT ME SO GOOD. I do that with my friends all the time.
I'm an introvert but when we bought our first house 2 yrs ago in a neat little mid-century subdivision (moving from the city) we knew we wanted to at least know our neighbor's' names! Sad I know but we lived in a rental area for 17 yrs and only knew 2 neighbors during that time due to thigh turnover -- though we stayed a long time.

HIGH turnover!!!!! 😂😂😂😂 not THIGH 😂😂😂

I am so sorry to hear that. I know it was 10 years ago but it still means a ton. Hope you did and are doing good.

Believe me 10 years has't helped that. Did not/will not remarry (because he's the only one I want(ed). I'm now taking care of my mother who has moderate Alzheimers. We're doing ok. Thank you again.
+gunnysgirl No problem. Glad you are doing OK. I know its tough, but its gonna be good. Remember to do what you think he would want you to be doing. Hope your mom does good. You seem strong so keep being exactly that.
Brittany has the best smile:)

Britt looks really good for just having a baby

Our neighbors are Italian. It's always cool to try to communicate with them. My husband speaks a little Italian, sometimes we end up playing charades because of the language barrier. It's amazing how we can converse & understand each other without being fluent.

At 2:37 kailand looks like shane the editor from the shaytards
omg yeah!!!
In our neighborhood everybody talks and wave at each other, I'm not sure if that's a southern thing or people are becoming more friendly. Our neighborhood also has a ton of children and that helps in the parents meeting each other through our children. We should all get back to be loving souls having this beautiful human being experience.

they deserve a million subscribers
That is so true . When I was younger we knew, talked to and played with everyone on my block. Now that I'm grown and married with kids on a different block we have the best neighbors on the block and there kids are very nice and respectful. Having great neighbors makes the neighborhood better. We even let one another know when we are going to be gone and they watch the house.
Completely agree with you on those days Britt! Some times I have the best time just staying in, not getting ready and hanging out with my baby!
I grew up in a cul de sac where all our our neighbors were super close and it was honestly the biggest blessing. It's basically line one big extended family. I do think it's less common now, but definitely think it's worth it to go out of your way to get to know your neighbors!
I was having a really rough & emotionally day after watching this vlog today I'm a lot happier now. Thank you Nive Nulls for making me smile.
6yrs in our home and we only wave to our neighbors. This is the best way to live dude. My kids are grown...so no need to socialize. LOL ;)
All my neighbors and I have lived next t each other since we were Audrey's age or younger and we feel like brother and sisters, even though people have moved in and out. It's seriously the best!!!
Little ones do grow so fast. My oldest four are 21 down to 13(and I have two a lot younger) and I so wish I could go back and relive those years when they were all little. That time is so very short and very soon they are independent and you miss it terribly.
I usually mainly comment on Kai but I CAN'T with how adorable Audri was in this vlog!"don't push my dad"*the whole part about princesses not being sad and Brave and shooting people in the face with arrows* SHE IS SO CUTE!
Totally get it, in my country, people don't really move as often as we do here in the states, so over there, our neighbors are literally extended family, it's amazing !
Did Austin speak in tongs 😂that was to funny "ashabalabahaa Amen!"
My neighbors are like my family! My siblings and I grew up with the other neighborhood kids, we had group dinners and block parties. Movie nights while our parents drank wine lol. I have lived in the same home since I was born and am 24 now, and some of my neighbors have moved away, but we all still keep in touch. Honestly my neighbors were there for my family in ways, and during times when even my immediate family was not. Meet and greet your neighbors! A gigantic portion of my life has been affected because of the friendships we made with our neighbors.
In this day and age it's common to forget about personal relationships between people in a community but I'm thankful that when I moved to my neighborhood we ended up knowing EVERYONE and the community basically helped raise me lol I'm friends with mostly everyone that's around me! 😁
I think it's so weird how people don't talk to their neighbors. Mine have been there since before I was born and I consider them my family. Even when my neighbors across the street moved we still invited them to cookouts and visited them often. And when all the kids come home we hang out and it's like we're 6 years old again riding our bikes around the neighborhood, even though we're all in or have graduated from college. I can't imagine my life without them.
I moved from a small village a few yrs back,moved to where I am now,got talking to one neighbour,hed actually lived in my village. -n the 90s,another time,said morning to an old guy,we got chatting,turns out he was from the village,grew up with my nan,and her seven siblings,small world! Love you guys xxxx
My neighbors are like family and on my cousins street we know everyone and each night during fall we have a fire. We go to each others parties and again they're like family to me and its not even my street lol
You guys aren't showing enough of Maddox in the vlogs!!! I want a whole segment of just Maddox 😍
We're the youngest family on our street and I love that we have older neighbors! The couple next to us alway let us borrow tools and they even gave us a $100 shop vac for a case of beer!
"be nice to my dad" HAHAHA😂😂💀
Love your videos as usual. I agree with Britt to enjoy the time with her little ones because they will soon be grown. I had the pleasure of being at home raising our 2children for the past 18 yrs. My 1st born is in her 1st year of college & I just returned to work. So keep enjoying your journey with your little ones. The days are long but the years are so short!
that intro explained exactly how I feel about my nive nulls ❤️😩 I literally just started watching like last week but I'm hooked. & its funny you guys mentioned your neighbors too, I took my puppy out for walk & met one of mine with her puppy, it was nice lol hope your week gets a little less germy! :)
Awww! Kailand with his Blippie shirt . . . The cuteness is real! *smirk * Hooray for the long version of the Intro Song on a Monday! Yay!!! Whooo! We have a neighborhood association that has meetings and picnics. We're kinda connected with the surrounding 8 neighbors around our house, so I guess that sort of counts. I don't think it's a bad thing to do, actually. Kinda like old fashioned manners. Shout out to Britt, cuz the belly has seriously deflated since the "Attack Of The Pregnancy Belly" vlog! Whooo! *applause! *
Unfortunately in our neighborhood our neighbors refuse to speak. We've tried to speak. We baked cookies and took them to them, and we also made dinner after one had surgery. Yet to no avail they don't reciprocate or even recognize the gestures. It's so sad. I miss my childhood neighborhood everyone was friendly and we had parties at each other homes etc!
I live in a small town so it's very common to know literally everyone on each block. LOL! We always joke with my dad about his lawn....and so now he has a friendly competition with the neighbors whenever they mow their lawn. I'm sure it's a little different if you live in a bigger area though. It's easy to go for a walk and say hi to people I know......or that my family knows...Small towns definitely have a sense of community.
Thanks to you, my two toddler boys binge watch Blippi every day! Bahaha but we love him too!!
Brit looks amazing! I had a staying in the pj's day today as well, sick babies do that to you. My 3yo was rocking out to your intro. Momma of 4 here, yes embrace the moment! This was my favorite vlog. PS My son's name is Maddux.
We say hello to neighbors but that's about it. They are all retired people and we are that "one" family with 4 young, loud kids.
We moved into an apartment in Jan 2013 and slowly became close with our neighbors above us. By may we were having bbqs and playdates because they had a son our sons age. this past February we both moved away but still tried to keep in touch and meet up. in August their son (at 2 years old) was diagnosed with aplastic anemia. we finally were able to see them last weekend and brough them dinner. they are some of our favorite people.
Oh Britt, I had the same embrace the cray day today. I literally walked around all day with smashed banana on my shirt. You just laugh and move on. My son just hit his first tooth and I broke down. It is moving way too fast, but I love it. I know he will be like peace mom one day, so I totally agree.
And yes I do talk with my neighbors. They watch my home, pick up mail when we're away and vice versa. Our dogs play together too.
I have a older neighbor and she is awesome...I just had a game day yesterday with her yesterday and we talked about her younger years and she told me about how hard it was being in interracial relationship(she is white), and how she was never able to give her husband kids. Also how she still has a glass of wine almost everyday lol. I truly love that little lady and I'm so blessed to have met her. Btw we are going to a hockey game on the 17 th of November can't wait!!!
awe, so sweet!
GUAP CESS thank you so much!
We love our neighbors, we have dinner together, our kids are always in and out of our houses, they have basically become family!
Audrey is soo smart God bless her
I enjoy talking to my neighbors and just saying a simple "hello" to people as I walk past them. I try my best to embrace community. I don't have any of the social networks, so outside of checking UA-cam and my email, looking down at my phone would be awkward to try to avoid conversation, because I would not have much to look through! Lol I suppose I could just scroll through my photo gallery next time. Nevertheless, it does not bother me. I have a three year old daughter so I try to teach her by being an example that talking and being friendly to others is a positive thing.
I don't talk to the neighbors in my neighborhood but I have no other choice. I support 90% of my neighbors(if u know what I mean) The kids set fire in my back yard, steel my lawn lights, my tenants grill & their parents speeds around in the biggest cars. They're so dumb they always forget that there's a speed bump. Ever so often you hear boom, pop, errrrrkkks, thump etc. I'm at peace when I'm at work
Times have changed, when we were kids we did activities but we weren't shoved into an activity to fill every waking minute like kids are now. Parents end up spending all of their time shuffling kids around making it hard to meet and spend time with neighbors. I think it's rare to find neighborhoods where people gather together anymore.
Thank you for your encouraging words, Brittany!! I sooo needed this today! It's much better to embrace the crazy!! P.s. You're a great mommy!! 💜💜
There's this older lady in my neighborhood that my mom sometimes visits to give her some company. My mom prays for her, helps her w/ things around her house, etc my neighbors are like my extended family in a way
I dance to the intro everytime... love it!
Oh no, we definitely do the isolation thing over here in London haha...we do get on pretty well with one of our neighbours and usually stop to chat. But the other neighbours, it's more of a polite "Hi/Bye" sort of thing.
I guess it's because I live in the Netherlands, but people here have a lot of contact with their neighbors. I think it's because the Netherlands is smaller and we have to share space, if that makes any sense lol also (and this actually has nothing to do with this), there are special days here where streets are closed off for cars so people can organize a "neighborhood day". Children can play outside on bouncy castles or whatever, neighbors can have a drink, there's music...idk I think it's kinda cool and it brings everyone together.
In the neighborhood I live in, we are all friends with everyone and hangout all the time! Parents and children.
audri's response was priceless lol 😂😂😂😂😂
Blippy bag was just so cute 😩😂❤️
Yup I never have been one to make friends with the neighbors but I've always felt so awkward about living next to someone and not know them.
I know when I was younger, I feel like my parents were cool with our neighbors. I think part of that had to do with me and my brother playing outside with all the neighborhood kids. Our parents would always have cookouts and birthday parties and invite the kids we played with. Their parents would come too, so our parents would get to know theirs. We also had block parties and neighborhood watch groups so it was easy to socialize with everybody. Everybody was always really nice and would watch out for one another's kids when we played in the street or at each others houses.
Kids don't play outside with neighbor kids anymore like I did when I was younger.
The best theme song ever!!👍🏾👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿
When are you adding Maddox to the intro?
I have only met one of my neighbors twice...when they came to our garage sales lol. and we bought our house 3 years ago. I have said hi to my others neighbors kids when their ball came in our yard. lol
I'm originally from a small Village/Lokshin in RSA where everyone there is friendly and family-like, you can borrow stuff to and from your neighbor without anyone being awkward about it. Then 5 years ago i moved to a cosmopolitan city and everyone is individualistic, i still don't know my neighbors or a lot of people after all this time mainly coz everyone is just minding their own business, the first week i came to the city i greeted a lady on the street and she asked me "i'm sorry..do you know me from somewhere?" back in the village its rude to pass someone without saying hi or making small talk....maybe its a cultural thing but i prefer village life of a community :-)
i live on a kibbutz.. all the neighbours know each other.. its really easy to meet up with friends because you just walk over .. its really nice knowing all the neighbours and them also being good friends.. the only problem is that there is not much privacy ...
awww Audri is so cute when She said "Aurevoir".
Aurevoir Audri, tu es trop mignonne 💕
I thumbs up because Audrey is the Best!!!! She is so Awesomely Funny and Smart!!!!!!
Audri is so funny! Her comment was priceless!!
"And I'm gonna watch the Walking Dead" - he says looking so innocent before knowing what would happen....
These are family goals! 👪👧👶
Love you guys! Thanks for always brightening my day with your videos!
Great advice about motherhood with a two year old and 1 month old twins the struggle is real sometimes. your right they will not be this little for long.
Twin get easier after a couple of months, and then it get crazy again once they become toddlers!
I'm friends with my neighbors and all our kids play together. I'm in Brooklyn, NY and that is not that common lol but the families on our block are pretty tight knit.
our neighbors are very friendly and helpful specially since they helped my grandparents put there lights up for the holidays every year and help us with the backyard and well we all help each other
You guys have such an amazing family. : )
No we are just cordial when we see our neighbors (hi and good bye!). Occasionally, we may ask how they are doing. To much bickering and talking about one another for us to get more involved than that! We know who they are, but that's about it. When my hubby and I were young, we knew our neighbors and were friends, but times have changed quite a bit and you have to be very careful who you let come into your life and your home. Especially when you have children! Love your vids!
I talk to most of my neighbours but it's also hard because they're all french... But I'm also never on my phone in public because I like to be aware of my surroundings, I don't wear earphones outside either.
So sweet...we had a busy Sunday too. Have you guys been to a pumpkin patch this year??? Please check out our video of Olivia and Sofia picking out pumpkins. Much love DuckAndKim :)
we are friends with the neighbors on both sides and one across the street, the other neighbors on the block some we speak to and the others we don't. The ones across the street are like family we just hit it off with them.
LOVE THE INTRO GUYS!!!!! REALLY COOL
