It’s crazy how pearl has just gone from being a baby into a proper little person! Her sense of adventure is a credit to you, only a child so nurtured would be confident enough to just get on that slide and go! .....virtual pat on the back to you!!! Xx
Noticed how many times Pearl said ‘thank you’ without promptings... you and Liam are raising a girl with such lovey manners! She is just adorable. Definitely a little person now not a bub ❤️
I said out loud "she should put a bit more cornflour in that" when you got it out the oven - then you did!!! We're clearly both cooking geniuses!! Love the cooking segments and all of this ❤
There is no way that this vlog could be "rubbish"- you blessed us with cooking, laundry AND craft segments!! I love seeing your beading and up-cycling stuff, I'm currently doing some crochet and with your video in the background it's very relaxing evening
Lottie Emms I’m sure there’s one in Lincoln (or there used to be) for adults 😂 I was so jealous when some of my friends went to uni there and told me about it haha xo
I love how The Duchess of Cambridge recently said that she sometimes finds motherhood lonely, especially with Prince George. When I had my boys nobody ever talked about it, I felt such a failure. PND was also a taboo subject 20 years ago. I love how you show the ups and downs of parenting. If I could have heard someone like you or Catherine talk about it, I would have got help sooner and wouldn't have beaten myself up on a daily basis!
I can’t explain how much I love these videos. They’re so raw and just show what life really is like. I don’t actually mind watching you go to soft play every week. I feel like it’s my virtual weekly visit ahaha xx
The heavier you are, the faster you go so I think it's super scary for us (especially as we can imagine the risks whereas young children aren't worried about that).
I am so happy that someone finally says that being a mother is about having a routine. Life is not always glamorous, but your videos are entertaining no matter what.🙂
My top cooking tip is to get a set of measuring spoons to help you measure out tablespoons and teaspoons etc. They are really helpful at making sure you get the right amount of everything, much easier than using proper teaspoons and tablespoons :D
Absolutely love when you buy stuff from charity shops, a lot of my friends are hesitant to buy stuff from charity shops the more you show you buying stuff the less stigma there is thankyouuuu Louise love the weekly xxx
I know what it’s like to be lonely 😞... my partner died on January 4th after a long illness. I am disabled and now I’m housebound and alone. I like your vlogs full of laughter but also your true feelings.
I am so sorry for your loss. Your never alone whilst watching a Louise Pentland vlog. I feel lonely a lot of the time as well, even though I get out of my house for work, I have a very lonely job. I clean for a lot of people who are at work, so know how loneliness feels. I get great comfort from watching vlogs, you feel like you have some friends. Anyway sending you much love and strength and such a sad time. Remember it is much better to have loved and lost than never to have loved at all. Take care . Paulinexxx
Hi Debbie, I hope you know that even if not physically, we are all here for you in spirit. I’ll do my best to look out for your name in the comments and check in on you. Take care and best wishes, Laura
Please stop apologising. You're doing fine and appreciate you letting us having an insight into your real life stuff. Love the goodies you found at charity shops and Pearl eating smiley faces make a grown women very jealous!
One of my favourite things about your vlogs is that your so real and honest with what you say, that’s such a huge quality! I know I’m really grateful and I’m sure others are that you share what your thinking/ feeling even if you think it’s something negative or that you feel your in a bad headspace. Listening to yourself and what you need and showing that is so valuable to others so Thankyou! ❤️
Was feeling in a bit of the same state actually, lonely even though you’re not alone. And I always come to watch your vlogs because they make me feel cosy. Comforting to know that someone as successful, wonderful and loved as you is feeling the same self doubt sometimes, guess we’re all human and just stumbling through life. Thank you for the laughs and sunshine, and letting us all be part of the journey! This was what I needed tonight :)
Louise, I love all your videos, but I especially love these ones, a little bit of everything, your ups and downs, daily triumphs and struggles. I think that’s what encourages me the most, you are the real deal, a true gem. ♥️
It has been ages since I was able to tune in on a Sunday morning when the weekly goes live. I've sat down with some banana oat pancakes I've made (new recipe, quite excited to have made myself something special). It feels like tuning in to catch up with an old friend. Hope you have a lovely week x
I must admit, I haven’t been watching your videos for the past few months and oh my goodness was it a shock to see pearly talking and walking and being so adventurous with such an incredible, independent sense of self. So lovely and reminiscent of Darcy to see her growing into such a lovely, playful toddler x
I’ve been really busy with school and work so it’s been awhile since I’ve watched UA-cam... but boy did I miss Louise 🥺🥺 her personality brightens my day no matter what
I think showing more thrifty stuff is a great idea, especially in a world where there are unethical practices and fast fashion. Thrifting is much better for the environment and just more ethically conscious and it's great for you to encourage it.
I love these homey vlogs! Such a great way for me to switch off at the end of the day, they're always so feel good and cosy but also real- it's good to know that we all have doubts and have to deal with sticky situations, thank you Louise 💖☺️
aww pearly growing up to so sweet and very smart!! it amazes me how children grow into people, and pearl is just that, a little people, you have done such a great job louise!!
It’s always so adorable to see Pearl run around that soft play place. I would have loved something like that when I was a little kid. You have lucky girls!
I really enjoyed this vlog. I love the homey days but more importantly vlogs where it doesn't feel like you're putting it on for us. The best thing to watch is you enjoying yourself and having fun. Thank you for letting us in on your life xx
Your spoiling us today cooking segment, laundry segment and charity shop bargains. It’s not boring you taking pearl to the play area it’s lovely that you get that time with her and how brave was she going on the slide. Us mums don’t tell each other enough but your an amazing mum 💖
I get you on motherhood feeling lonely at times. Ive found that since finishing work to stay home with my baby ive become such an introvert and as much as Id love to get friendly with other mums at soft play, I always get so much anxiety and feel like people think im a bore lol we all have those days tho dont we? Your doing amazing, balancing work and mum life and your kids are little gems, your winning! Lots of love x
I live for the laundry segment! Laundry is by far the best chore. I love your vlogs so much, they are just so relaxing and calming. I am currently in my third year of uni doing an English degree so am currently very stressed and having to read so many books. But your vlogs just mean I can feel calm for a bit and always put a smile on my face. Keep being the amazing woman you are!
TOTALLY feel you on the ‘where have all my knickers gone?!’ dilemma - just about to put some Christmas pants on for that very reason!! The struggle is real!! 😂😂🩲🤷🏻♀️⁉️
I’ve loved and watched you for years Louise. I’m 5months pregnant with our first baby - and my partner loves watching the soft play parts of your vlogs. And we get so excited that soon we’ll be taking our little girl to soft play! Might seem like a little thing - but just wanted to let you know the joy the weekly’s bring to our baby journey xx
Good morning, I ABSOLUTELY LOVE IT when you film your life. Iam a disabled Mom of 2 full grown children, and love watching you go though for day with Pearl and Darcy too, when she is home, I understand cuz my 2 had different Dads also. Your an AMAZING Mum . And Yes please do some thrift shop aka Charity shopping and CBS as well. Sending love from America. Keep up the cooking the more you cook the better at it you'll get. Oxox 💋👍😏
I’ve been re-watching your vlogs this morning and last night. I needed a positive pick-me-up. I got to 43:00 in this one and I felt like I knew exactly how you felt. Then when you went to say the word ‘isolated’ I said it one second before...🤦🏻♀️🥰 I FEEL YA SISTER. I think it’s something that doesn’t really get talked about in the excitement of having kids and the wonderful emotions and all the goodness that comes along with it. The isolation is a downside and quite confronting when you are sitting there with a cuppa, on your own, for the hundredth time, remembering how you used to be at work and meeting targets, part of a team etc...it’s hard some days. I’m thankful for you. 🙏🏼❤️
I agree about feeling better when I’ve done something crafty in front of the tv! Usually I crochet, but anything keeps me from eating the whole time that I’m watching and helps me feel productive and not guilty about watching tv
I love to watch the weekly whilst I do my chores. Got some laundry folding, kitchen cleaning and a good general clean done. I feel like thats enough activity on a cozy sunday. Love you!
I do love you Louise. I love the little creativity bits and the charity shop hauls. Your soothing voice is so calming. I could easily watch your vlogs all day. Dont worry about the self doubt and feeling lonely. I feel lonely with so many people around me some days!! Its called being human. Just be yourself ❤❤
The cooking and laundry segments with Pearl 😍 She is the sweetest and growing up so fast! Also, seeing your reality is why we love watching you! Don’t doubt yourself!
Hey Louise. Could you maybe show us how your going to upcycle the cut glasses into beautiful candle holders? Also those earrings and the 30p glasses are stunning 😍💖
Omg this is the first video of yours I've seen since pearl was 2 months old and my mind is BLOWN!! she's basically a mini human now and the most adorable person ever!💓💓
Just wanted to pop on and say that I have always and will always love your content. Everytime I watch your videos I feel like we're actual chummies just having a chit chat! You never fail to make my laugh which I love the most when I'm feeling down. You're so down to earth and real. You are genuinely just a pleasure Louise xxx
OMG Louise, I really enjoyed the peek into your real life with a busy 2 year old!!! It's been so long since my son was that small and you forget how very very busy and exhausting they can be, and I wasnt trying to film at the same time!!!. She is so adorable and is learning so fast!!! Thank you...
Honestly I love the soft play bits, it’s literally the best soft play I’ve ever seen 😂 I’m not even a mum! Just an older sister. Thanks for bringing joy to my day Louise. 💖
I get so excited when you say there's going to be a cooking segment! I've been trying to cook more and it's really inspiring to see someone else doing the same 😊
Louise, I just have to tell you, I’m expecting my first child in May. I’m obviously super excited, but watching you and your family makes me even more excited! Also, I’ve been rewatching your pregnancy vlogs, thank you so much for filming your journey!
I LOVED going to a softplay kinda thing when I was younger and now my little sisters love i as well! Seeing you go there a lot makes me so happy because I barely got to go because my mum was a single mum and it was hard and I love that Pearl gets to do so much fun stuff 💕💕💕💕
Great video all around. Very real and honest. I could tell by your eyes (have watched for years) that something was wrong. Later in vid you confessed to being lonely and I could feel that earlier in it. Lonely sucks. It is triggered by things and super energy zapping. I get the circle talk also in various situations and especially alone. It's partly possibly a PTSD thing but also I'm sure a mom thing and just an" I'm tired" thing. You did a lot with softplay, cooking, caring for ever adventure girl, being sure to teach pearl to be a victim (LOL!), showing your thrifting adventures, your laundry moments and your chef-ventures. You looked genuinely proud that you made something tasty. GOOD job and I'm the same way. It takes time and learning to cook and after awhile you solve your own dilemmas and are ok with tossing things that come out really rank. I currently have two dishes in my fridge that I don't love and feel guilt throwing away so it's in there til I feel like it's timed itself out (how's that for weird thinking). I don't do this intentionally but yep. The earrings are pretty and cool. I love the little hanger part at the top and the iridescent color beads on the 2nd one. They are very you for their sparkle. Pearlie girl is adorable and a handful. You're doing great with her and she'll be easier to have fun with as she grows a bit. She's learning now so yeah it's going to drain the F out of you. Good for you for doing the hand craftiness to just get out some energy. I want to do some also and have several projects planned and supplies but always talk myself out of it saying I have more important things to do. (then when I'm tired from doing "important things" I am finding myself eating too much so want to try having something to do with my hands while watching tv also. Seems like it's that time of year also where people are a bit down and need to do some kind of gathering more regularly. Have you considered having a mom's group meet at your place once a week or something so you have a bit more company and camaraderie with moms of small kids? I'm sure Marie has told you that they have that PEPS group here (I don't have kids but have heard it's pretty amazing). You might have to form one near you with some mums from the area by advertising or something via the school or softplay if they have a bulletin board. Seems like you need some more adult friend outing time as well b/c you need to recharge your fun, naughty , irreverent and mischief side (hope that comes off well). I think that side is an outlet for your feelings and helps you let your hair down a bit mentally. I love all the domestic stuff but I know too that you like it to some extent but then need more so hoping you're getting what fuels your fire intellectually. So glad you're a vlogger as I enjoy the domestic and the intellectual and honesty aspects of your life.
It’s crazy not having been on UA-cam properly in two years and seeing pearl go from a literal fetus to her own little person, it’s really making me cry at 1 am
honestly one of favourites, you and pearlie made me giggle so much and I just loved the energy. Am a uni student and its my first day back since being at home for Christmas and your vlog has just soothed me with my morning cup of tea before the mad rush of my day starts. xx
I love your videos so much ! I am excited for them every week. I love that you show real life and that its so cozy and filled with love. I love segments ! This videos are the best!😊
I just loved this video. Pearl is so adventurous going down that slide on her own. Kudos to you Louise for giving her the confidence to be so adventurous. Loved the song before the laundry segment, sing that sound every time you do that segment. You are the best youtuber i know.
Can't believe how big Pearl has gotten! Crazy how time flies! Also I LOVE seeing what you find in charity shops, I really enjoy looking through them myself! x
I LOVE crafty stuff (I work at a craft store and love that too) and i would absolutely love to see how you go about making those beaded earrings. They're absolutely gorgeous!!
I loved this vlog (particularly all the musical intros) sad to see that you’re not feeling so great you definitely don’t need to be tougher, it’s difficult to push away negative thoughts and feelings when you’ve got too keep positive for pearly, it just leaves you ruminating on them for longer. Hopefully some crafts and some time with Liam helped you get into a better headspace. Sending much love (p.s I love all the crafty/charity shop bits)
I totally understand the loneliness of motherhood! You can spend all day literally having a small person follow you around and talk to you and demand your attention, but it's completely different to having another adult around who you can have a conversation with, or vent to, or who can give you a break for a bit. It's a bit of a one-sided communication relationship being a parent of a baby/toddler, as even if they can talk, you can't really have a proper conversation with them about life or your feelings etc, so you start to miss having someone to do that with! Also your vlogs are never rubbish! I love seeing that mums on UA-cam (especially mums as talented and successful as you) also experience the same sort of mum days that I do, and I'm not alone in the days where I feel a bit frazzled or lonely or frustrated. Thank you for sharing with us and helping other mums to feel less alone in their day ❤️
I love that you make jewelery to keep chill! I started making notebooks to help with my anxiety and I relate to the having too many problem haha, love watching these whilst I do it! I also love the little character Pearl has grown into, she is a credit to you and Liam x
I'm usually a silent viewer but I was watching this with my 3 year old and she absolutely loved the soft play part, she was transfixed on pearl and was trying to talk to her! So cute! Loved this weekly as always Louise💕
I have been beading for about 6 months now and I love it. I find it very relaxing and youtube has soooo many tutorials and great ideas! Beware that it becomes addicting and before you know it you have a giant tote full of beads!
I watched the sliding bit four times. 😂 Go Pearl! She was so independent! But my heart was racing too because it looked like she was launching off! Gets to the bottom smiling. And your laugh! That was excellent! 😂
Louise, I just adore you. You’re completely right about what you said about our friend Dick’s comments. I recognize his viewpoint is likely coming from being damaged in his own personal life, and a lack of knowledge. Good on you for calling him out. (It doesn’t always feel comfortable when it’s someone in your close circle of friends). Good on Gareth for doing the same. I think without the constant reinforcement of the message things will take even longer to change. It always makes me wonder whether men who think like this have sisters and/or daughters.
It’s crazy how pearl has just gone from being a baby into a proper little person! Her sense of adventure is a credit to you, only a child so nurtured would be confident enough to just get on that slide and go! .....virtual pat on the back to you!!! Xx
What a lovely comment ❤️
Oh my gosh, when she just zoomed down the slide!! So brave 🤗
‘Louise and Judith’s charity shop challenge’ who can find the best things for £10 I LOVE watching stuff like this/ especially outfit ones ❤️
Noticed how many times Pearl said ‘thank you’ without promptings... you and Liam are raising a girl with such lovey manners! She is just adorable. Definitely a little person now not a bub ❤️
I said out loud "she should put a bit more cornflour in that" when you got it out the oven - then you did!!! We're clearly both cooking geniuses!! Love the cooking segments and all of this ❤
I'm LOVING the cooking segments, and who dosnt love a laundry segment, this weekly brings all the feels ❤❤
Perhaps investing in measuring spoons would be beneficial to your cooking? Kitchen spoons do not have the same measurement as actual measuring spoons.
I was going to make the same comment!
Lol. I thought the same thing.
M Daze that’s a good idea. So much garlic haha
Thinking the same thing. I love garlic but that was SO MUCH GARLIC.
Yesssss and u can get such cute ones !!
There is no way that this vlog could be "rubbish"- you blessed us with cooking, laundry AND craft segments!! I love seeing your beading and up-cycling stuff, I'm currently doing some crochet and with your video in the background it's very relaxing evening
They NEED a soft play for adults. That place looks so fun! 😂❤️ lovely vlog Xx
Lottie Emms I’m sure there’s one in Lincoln (or there used to be) for adults 😂 I was so jealous when some of my friends went to uni there and told me about it haha xo
One in Portsmouth does it on a Friday night too 😊
I love that Pearl was just off on the slide hahah
I love how The Duchess of Cambridge recently said that she sometimes finds motherhood lonely, especially with Prince George. When I had my boys nobody ever talked about it, I felt such a failure. PND was also a taboo subject 20 years ago. I love how you show the ups and downs of parenting. If I could have heard someone like you or Catherine talk about it, I would have got help sooner and wouldn't have beaten myself up on a daily basis!
The way you said “we need to stop being victims Pearl!” just sent me 😂😂
loved the vlog!
The jingles for each segment in this weekly have been on a different level!!
I can’t explain how much I love these videos. They’re so raw and just show what life really is like. I don’t actually mind watching you go to soft play every week. I feel like it’s my virtual weekly visit ahaha xx
Aw, I laughed so hard at the amount of air Pearl caught going down the slide! So cute and brave! x
I laughed so damn hard
No knickers at night- let the air in!!
#BreezyBits
Heather Watson I’m glad I’m not the only one!
Heather Watson I’m so hear for the comment. Thought I was unusual haha
“let your bum breathe” as my mum would always say 😂
Its so so good for your lady bits to let them breathe at night. Believe it or not, it's more hygienic to do that. You should give it a try, Louise!!
Stop being victims?
Ok. Stop being predators.
We done here?
🤦♀️
At least half this video is just pearl doing the opposite of what’s expected from her and I’m living for it 😂😂😂
I love how fearless Pearl was going down that slide! I think even I would be cautious of going down myself😣
She is adorable!
The heavier you are, the faster you go so I think it's super scary for us (especially as we can imagine the risks whereas young children aren't worried about that).
I am so happy that someone finally says that being a mother is about having a routine. Life is not always glamorous, but your videos are entertaining no matter what.🙂

I know what it’s like to be lonely 😞... my partner died on January 4th after a long illness. I am disabled and now I’m housebound and alone. I like your vlogs full of laughter but also your true feelings.
I'm sorry for your loss. I hope you are able to find a way to socialize weather having company or if you are able to get out at all.
I am so sorry for your loss. Your never alone whilst watching a Louise Pentland vlog. I feel lonely a lot of the time as well, even though I get out of my house for work, I have a very lonely job. I clean for a lot of people who are at work, so know how loneliness feels. I get great comfort from watching vlogs, you feel like you have some friends.

I’m so sorry Debbie. Sorry you have so much hurt and pain. I wish I could help you in some way. Xxx
Hugs Debbie x
Hi Debbie, I hope you know that even if not physically, we are all here for you in spirit. I’ll do my best to look out for your name in the comments and check in on you. Take care and best wishes, Laura
oh my dear god, baby pearl has grown so much and she's so adorable!!🥺🥺💝

I will officially stop being a victim now
Yes, we've all learnt a valuable lesson haven't we? Just gotta stop being silly victims. *shakes head*
good
Louise, I love all your videos, but I especially love these ones, a little bit of everything, your ups and downs, daily triumphs and struggles. I think that’s what encourages me the most, you are the real deal, a true gem. ♥️
I love how real you are about parenting. I’m a first time mama with an 18 month old and I struggle with the loneliness and feeling overwhelmed.
It has been ages since I was able to tune in on a Sunday morning when the weekly goes live. I've sat down with some banana oat pancakes I've made (new recipe, quite excited to have made myself something special). It feels like tuning in to catch up with an old friend. Hope you have a lovely week x
I never comment I just feel like they get lost in the sea of them, but these videos truly give me a safe space and cheer me up. So much love!
I must admit, I haven’t been watching your videos for the past few months and oh my goodness was it a shock to see pearly talking and walking and being so adventurous with such an incredible, independent sense of self.

Very much agree👍 great comment ✨
Hear hear! I can't believe how much new stuff some UA-cam creators buy, it stresses me out. Whereas thrifty videos soothe me!
I am in tears at pearly going down the slide on her own 😂😂😂😂 she went FLYING at the end bless her little heart
I love these homey vlogs! Such a great way for me to switch off at the end of the day, they're always so feel good and cosy but also real- it's good to know that we all have doubts and have to deal with sticky situations, thank you Louise 💖☺️
I wanted to see Liam’s reaction to the dinner! 😔😩
aww pearly growing up to so sweet and very smart!! it amazes me how children grow into people, and pearl is just that, a little people, you have done such a great job louise!!
It’s always so adorable to see Pearl run around that soft play place. I would have loved something like that when I was a little kid. You have lucky girls!
Ironically, it sounded like Dick was playing the victim in his original post. It always seems to play out that way!
I really enjoyed this vlog. I love the homey days but more importantly vlogs where it doesn't feel like you're putting it on for us. The best thing to watch is you enjoying yourself and having fun. Thank you for letting us in on your life xx

I love the mum vibe Louise gives. I dont get to see my mum very often so Louise's videos make me feel very comforted so thanks 💜
So much real life. This gives me all the positivity. Motherhood can be lonely and boring!
Thank you Louise, don’t doubt yourself xxxxxxxxxx
I live for the laundry segment! Laundry is by far the best chore. I love your vlogs so much, they are just so relaxing and calming.

I'm just incredibly impressed you didn't say a "bad word" when you hurt yourself. That's how my children learned some of those words.... oops!
I’ve loved and watched you for years Louise. I’m 5months pregnant with our first baby - and my partner loves watching the soft play parts of your vlogs. And we get so excited that soon we’ll be taking our little girl to soft play! Might seem like a little thing - but just wanted to let you know the joy the weekly’s bring to our baby journey xx
Motherhood is so lonely and isolating! Hearing someone else say they feel lonely makes me feel so much better 😘🇦🇺
Good morning, I ABSOLUTELY LOVE IT when you film your life.

I remember when you did a Primark week series - a thrifting week would be glorious!! Watching you shop in charity shops is so calming xx
I do love you Louise. I love the little creativity bits and the charity shop hauls. Your soothing voice is so calming. I could easily watch your vlogs all day. Dont worry about the self doubt and feeling lonely. I feel lonely with so many people around me some days!! Its called being human. Just be yourself ❤❤

My heart warms when no matter what you are doing you drop everything for your girls! 💕💕
Yassssssss! Nice big long juicy weekly! Love how you’re always up to something, always a good motivation for the week 💖
Hey Louise. Could you maybe show us how your going to upcycle the cut glasses into beautiful candle holders? Also those earrings and the 30p glasses are stunning 😍💖
Omg this is the first video of yours I've seen since pearl was 2 months old and my mind is BLOWN!! she's basically a mini human now and the most adorable person ever!💓💓

OMG Louise, I really enjoyed the peek into your real life with a busy 2 year old!!! It's been so long since my son was that small and you forget how very very busy and exhausting they can be, and I wasnt trying to film at the same time!!!. She is so adorable and is learning so fast!!! Thank you...
Honestly I love the soft play bits, it’s literally the best soft play I’ve ever seen 😂 I’m not even a mum! Just an older sister. Thanks for bringing joy to my day Louise. 💖
I just love seeing you doing laundry and talk about stuff at the same time. It’s really relaxing to me. Don’t know why 😂
I love your conscious and down to earth attitude to life Louise. It’s incredibly humbling and refreshing ❤️
I get so excited when you say there's going to be a cooking segment! I've been trying to cook more and it's really inspiring to see someone else doing the same 😊
I love that you are doing cooking segments now!!
Louise, I just have to tell you, I’m expecting my first child in May. I’m obviously super excited, but watching you and your family makes me even more excited! Also, I’ve been rewatching your pregnancy vlogs, thank you so much for filming your journey!
0:10 YOU GOT THE ORDER RIGHT LOUISE YESSSSS!!!
I LOVED going to a softplay kinda thing when I was younger and now my little sisters love i as well! Seeing you go there a lot makes me so happy because I barely got to go because my mum was a single mum and it was hard and I love that Pearl gets to do so much fun stuff 💕💕💕💕
Great video all around. Very real and honest. I could tell by your eyes (have watched for years) that something was wrong. Later in vid you confessed to being lonely and I could feel that earlier in it. Lonely sucks. It is triggered by things and super energy zapping. I get the circle talk also in various situations and especially alone. It's partly possibly a PTSD thing but also I'm sure a mom thing and just an" I'm tired" thing. You did a lot with softplay, cooking, caring for ever adventure girl, being sure to teach pearl to be a victim (LOL!), showing your thrifting adventures, your laundry moments and your chef-ventures. You looked genuinely proud that you made something tasty. GOOD job and I'm the same way. It takes time and learning to cook and after awhile you solve your own dilemmas and are ok with tossing things that come out really rank. I currently have two dishes in my fridge that I don't love and feel guilt throwing away so it's in there til I feel like it's timed itself out (how's that for weird thinking). I don't do this intentionally but yep. The earrings are pretty and cool. I love the little hanger part at the top and the iridescent color beads on the 2nd one. They are very you for their sparkle. Pearlie girl is adorable and a handful. You're doing great with her and she'll be easier to have fun with as she grows a bit. She's learning now so yeah it's going to drain the F out of you. Good for you for doing the hand craftiness to just get out some energy. I want to do some also and have several projects planned and supplies but always talk myself out of it saying I have more important things to do. (then when I'm tired from doing "important things" I am finding myself eating too much so want to try having something to do with my hands while watching tv also. Seems like it's that time of year also where people are a bit down and need to do some kind of gathering more regularly. Have you considered having a mom's group meet at your place once a week or something so you have a bit more company and camaraderie with moms of small kids? I'm sure Marie has told you that they have that PEPS group here (I don't have kids but have heard it's pretty amazing). You might have to form one near you with some mums from the area by advertising or something via the school or softplay if they have a bulletin board. Seems like you need some more adult friend outing time as well b/c you need to recharge your fun, naughty , irreverent and mischief side (hope that comes off well). I think that side is an outlet for your feelings and helps you let your hair down a bit mentally. I love all the domestic stuff but I know too that you like it to some extent but then need more so hoping you're getting what fuels your fire intellectually. So glad you're a vlogger as I enjoy the domestic and the intellectual and honesty aspects of your life.
It’s crazy not having been on UA-cam properly in two years and seeing pearl go from a literal fetus to her own little person, it’s really making me cry at 1 am
honestly one of favourites, you and pearlie made me giggle so much and I just loved the energy. Am a uni student and its my first day back since being at home for Christmas and your vlog has just soothed me with my morning cup of tea before the mad rush of my day starts. xx
I love your videos so much ! I am excited for them every week. I love that you show real life and that its so cozy and filled with love. I love segments ! This videos are the best!😊
Came back to this video in the afternoon and was immediately greeted with the fantastic laundry segment jingle 😂 love these vids
I just loved this video. Pearl is so adventurous going down that slide on her own. Kudos to you Louise for giving her the confidence to be so adventurous. Loved the song before the laundry segment, sing that sound every time you do that segment. You are the best youtuber i know.
“Stop being victims” my goodness why didn’t I think of that sooner! 🙄
Can't believe how big Pearl has gotten! Crazy how time flies! Also I LOVE seeing what you find in charity shops, I really enjoy looking through them myself! x
I LOVE crafty stuff (I work at a craft store and love that too) and i would absolutely love to see how you go about making those beaded earrings. They're absolutely gorgeous!!
had tears in my eyes laughing at Pearl going down the slide, she fully lifted off it on one of the last bumps !
I loved this vlog (particularly all the musical intros) sad to see that you’re not feeling so great you definitely don’t need to be tougher, it’s difficult to push away negative thoughts and feelings when you’ve got too keep positive for pearly, it just leaves you ruminating on them for longer. Hopefully some crafts and some time with Liam helped you get into a better headspace. Sending much love (p.s I love all the crafty/charity shop bits)
pearls realisation she forgot her teddy, too precious!!
Just love how real your vlogs are! Pearl is just the cutest 💗
I totally understand the loneliness of motherhood! You can spend all day literally having a small person follow you around and talk to you and demand your attention, but it's completely different to having another adult around who you can have a conversation with, or vent to, or who can give you a break for a bit. It's a bit of a one-sided communication relationship being a parent of a baby/toddler, as even if they can talk, you can't really have a proper conversation with them about life or your feelings etc, so you start to miss having someone to do that with!
Also your vlogs are never rubbish! I love seeing that mums on UA-cam (especially mums as talented and successful as you) also experience the same sort of mum days that I do, and I'm not alone in the days where I feel a bit frazzled or lonely or frustrated. Thank you for sharing with us and helping other mums to feel less alone in their day ❤️
I love that you make jewelery to keep chill! I started making notebooks to help with my anxiety and I relate to the having too many problem haha, love watching these whilst I do it! I also love the little character Pearl has grown into, she is a credit to you and Liam x
I'm usually a silent viewer but I was watching this with my 3 year old and she absolutely loved the soft play part, she was transfixed on pearl and was trying to talk to her! So cute! Loved this weekly as always Louise💕
I have been beading for about 6 months now and I love it. I find it very relaxing and youtube has soooo many tutorials and great ideas! Beware that it becomes addicting and before you know it you have a giant tote full of beads!
This put me in a really good headspace where I feel grounded and calm after a super stressful and tiring week. Thank you louise ❤🥰
The intro of the cooking segment is pure gold 👌🏻😂 i LOVE this new segment so much!❤️
Pearls little "yeeaaahhhh" was so adorable I can't cope. So much cuteness in one video❤️
Yes, yes and yes !!! Love charity shopping and watching what other people find, ideas etc
This is JUST what i needed today binge watching your old style vlogs, brilliant! Xx
I watched the sliding bit four times. 😂 Go Pearl! She was so independent! But my heart was racing too because it looked like she was launching off! Gets to the bottom smiling. And your laugh! That was excellent! 😂
Hehe I lost it when Pearl went down the slide on her own My daughter is also so brave its scary Such a relatable moment 4 me jeje
Morning Louise! Nice to see you on this rainy sunday morning xx
Louise, I just adore you. You’re completely right about what you said about our friend Dick’s comments. I recognize his viewpoint is likely coming from being damaged in his own personal life, and a lack of knowledge. Good on you for calling him out. (It doesn’t always feel comfortable when it’s someone in your close circle of friends). Good on Gareth for doing the same. I think without the constant reinforcement of the message things will take even longer to change. It always makes me wonder whether men who think like this have sisters and/or daughters.
This type of vlog makes me really happy, have been struggeling a bit lately, and this just makes my day! Thankyou very much ❤️
Love thrift hauls! More thrift shopping vlogs and up-cycling please! and that soft play place is so incredibly amazing!!! Love your vlogs!
That was the funniest weekly I've ever watched, Louise, I absolutely loved it! Laughed from start to finish
