I feel like with Simon the phrase "if you love something/someone set it/them free and if it comes back it was meant to be" applies. Took 8 years to come full circle but you had other experiences, lived your life, dated other people and now everything came together timing-wise (being single and in the same place) for you guys to get back together. You have history, a solid foundation, and friendship and he seems like a great guy! So happy for you!
Your mom's outfits are always on point. Your whole family dynamic is something I wish I had with my family. Also "mystery man" seems so kind and respectful. I am so happy for you!
I agree completely about communication. I have a very healthy marriage and never thought I would be able to say that. No jealousy, perfect communication. Nothing is off limits. NOTHING! If I gotta talk about how I have gas, he'll get me medicine. He doesn't shame me, doesn't treat me like I'm gross... He takes care of me. Also, if I feel disrespected or neglected, I tell him and we fix it right then and there. We haven't argued in over 7 years. Bicker yes, but no arguments. I trust him completely, I have zero doubts and know for a fact he wouldn't hurt me.
We Stan Simon so far! You seem incredibly content, safe and happy with his company ☺️ I think feeling safe in your relationship is one of the biggest green flags! When I met my husband the first time I didn’t get the crazy butterflies, instead I took it slow and he made me feel so calm and safe around him. Safety is your heart and mind both at peace ✨
Your parents take such good care of Brady. Please let them know as a dog groomer I truly appreciate how well groomed she always is and how obviously loved she is. It’s pet parents like them that make my day.
With vlogmas winding down just wanted to make sure I get a “Merry Christmas Tara, I hope you enjoy a lovely relaxing holiday” in there before you take a break from vlogging. You will be missed but we will be here when you get back. You deserve to relax in that new home and just simply enjoy!
Mother daughter shopping trip is my fav part in all vlogs, I used to go to the mall with my mom all the time, but I haven't seen my parents in 3 years due to covid. Your vlog brings back a lot of good memories.
I usually start Christmas shopping in August and every year I still somehow manage to forget some gifts. You'd think I'd learn from my mistake and create a list but nope. Glad I'm not the only one who does last minute shopping.
It's all smiles for me, when you're with your Fam. The way Bradey casually walked by, seemingly looking at the camera.Your "Dad not approving" caption; as he went on to talk jeans. Lol I love it . Thanks for sharing. Btw Vlogmas is going by quick .
I always buy my Christmas basics like wreaths and Garland ect after Christmas on sale then during this season I'll collect a few more decorative pieces and if theres any trends I like I'll pick some of that up too.
i just want to say that as someone with a very strained relationship with a toxic mother, watching you and yours brings me a lot of joy and i really appreciate that you share that relationship with us
Tara, you seem happy hanging out with Simon, even just as friends (or whatever you guys are to each other) you can tell there is a level of comfortability you guys have and it’s really nice to see. You’re doing great! don’t second guess yourself we…or at least I come to your channel to watch you live your life and if that means you sat on the couch all day and watched tv that’s what I want to see. I really love you and your videos❤️
Your three musts for a relationship (open communication, truth/trust, friendship) are SPOT ON!! With those three things you will find that person you can get through the hard stuff in life with and maybe even enjoy most if it. lol
“Let me know when you want it back” “by the end of the day” “I’m not talking to you sir” “They’re not comfortable!” “Why are they not comfortable?” your dad is hilarious 🤣🤣🤣
I wonder if you not being at the house is part of the reason little things aren’t getting done. If you’re there to point out small fixes while they’re already there it could save them from having to come back! Just a thought ❤️ we’re currently building I’ve noticed I’ve had to micromanage here and there 😅
I love that Mitch says he's the accountant, and you say you're not talking to him. He makes you eggs every time you go over there!!! How could you not?😊
Loved this Tara, so lovely seeing your parents (hilarious), your home (gorgeous) Simon (midsection and voice, perfect amount of sharing not oversharing lol) , shopping and snow...... :)
I, coincidently, got my booster shot the same day you did. I too was feeling sluggish most of the day yesterday. I couldn't find any other way to describe it. I didn't feel "sick", but wasn't myself either. I did end up having a mild fever for a little while as well, but it wasn't a big deal. BTW, I love the vibes between you and Simon! I'm rooting for this to develope into more!!! :)
Me too. Got a little fever took a nap. On break so I can just be lazy. I hope SHIT doesn't hit the fan after the holidays but I have been food storing. Little by little so as not to horde but be prepared. What about you?
I have been rewatching your vlogmas vlogs all vlogmas lol but I just wanted to say that thing you do with putting vinaigrette on half of your chipotle, I do that with beans on rice lol for the same exact reason. I want both experiences!
Hello from France ! Yes ! Your coat is 100 % ok ! It's very pretty and the good size. And yes again ! This year I do everything at last minute usually I'm pretty organized but this year.... everything is different and difficult. Thank you for all the work you do for sharing these vlogmas! Love them!
I find that most the stuff I buy is by Tara’s inspiration. HOVET mirror from IKEA, my first Christmas tree, neutral color palette & I love it all! It has made my life SO HAPPY! Thank you Tara!! 🤍🤍🤍
I actually “finished” Christmas shopping early this year for the first time in years! But i still feel like I need to pick up things here & there. Lol. I just hate crowds & have no desire to go into any stores.
Your mind is in the right place when it comes to a relationship. Passion is important but fleeting. Once someone lies to you; they will always lie. The relationship-built on friendship is one that will endure. They are your bestie, confidant, and most of all your partner in ups and downs. How can you not be passionate with them? Merry Christmas!!!
Your mom and dad are so sweet! It’s so nice to hear your mom and you chat. Love! 🎄❤️ also, when your mom made the comment about leggings versus jeans… AMEN!!!
Merry Christmas/Happy Holidays Tara!! Hope you have the best time celebrating with those you love!! Btw where did you get that big pink thing you wear??
Omg I also had a traumatic ski experience at 12! I was learning how to ski and kept falling so my instructor took my skis away then told me to walk down 😤 I cried the whole way down 20 years later and I still have never skied since
So agree with the friendship and honesty things (relationship musts)- my husband and I were best friends first, and it became more 😉😂 and that building block is such a game changer! We have our moments where one of us is grumpy but if you have good communication it's never a big thing. We have never had an actual fight and we trust each other completely... It's the easiest and most fulfilling relationship ever. We both had some real doozies in the past, so we both say we found each other when we were ready and would know what we had lol!! 😂❤️💗😊 You and Simon are so cute together. Happy for ya!! ETA: I just got back from last minute shopping too 🙄😂
Ahhh that moment when most of my Christmas gifts are arriving today...😅. I've been watching your videos now for...I think two years? I found you right before quarantine, in February of 2020. I don't think I've missed a single video since then. This is now my second vlogmas watching your videos! It's been such a joy watching each video, and it's so fun to see how much you've changed, and me as well! I think my favorite part of watching the vlogs recently is just seeing how happy you seem! Obviously, we don't see everything behind the scenes, but you genuinely seem much happier and in a better place then when i first started watching! Anyways, i don't comment very often, but i just wanted to today, and let you know I'm still here watching ur vids, and that they are always my favorite part of the day, and you are such a source of inspiration to me!
Also, just wanted to say it's been fun to see Simon in the vids! obviously we don't know him that well, but seeing your friendship together has been such a joy, and he really seems like a great guy! no pressure for anything more than what you have currently, I just find you two such goals for friendship and more!
You have to get the Our Place steam bamboo basket. It’s perfect for cooking them and you can steam other veggies at the same time. Also, the soup dumplings I learned you out it on a large spoon, use a chopstick to poke a hole and let the soup drain out. Then you eat the dumpling. Be careful because sometimes the soup can be really hot if you eat it in one bite.
I think the jacket might look better fitted if you’re wearing a sweater or layers underneath. It’s super cute! Wish I wasn’t so tall and lanky so I could shop in store for jackets
i agree with your mom. leggings are so much more comfy. i dont wear my jeans anymore either lol also i wish your besty jill a safe speedy recovery from her positive case of the virus. hopefully she has no lasting effects.
I think for what you’re going for, the jacket is a bit too oversized. Abercrombie has some really cute “dad coats” that come in petite and I bet would look amazing on you!
I had the same reaction to the booster, sleepy, achey, & a slight headache but it went away in 24hrs basically! Hope you feel better, also LOVE the coat! I think it's the perfect amount of oversized too!
Can we see your parents utensil holder!! Also, for anyone who likes eggnog I suggest getting the vanilla sweet cream cold foam at Starbucks with a pump of chai and a pump or caramel in the foam! It's so good on cold brew.
If the house stuff is little bitty things you don't even really notice and aren't super concerned about you could always just tell them we're good, thanks anyway :) esp if you're still paying them by the hour sometimes contractors can be known for milking that pay for as long as they can. Obv different story if they're already paid in full! One year I did all my Christmas shopping on the night of Dec 23 at Walgreens...I was broke, working two jobs including a Christmas retail job, cranky and not having it any more with the holidays lmao My grinchy self did not care :p peope were gonna get their cute fuzzy socks, blankets, gift cards and chocolates and they were gonna like it! My gift giving has improved drastically since then LOL

please tell me im not the only one who does all their christmas shopping as last minute as possible!!!???? 😂😂
You aren't (ADHD be like)😂
You aren’t the only one! I always Christmas shop last minute 😂
first, happy vlogmas! and your family!! I'm the same way tara! lol!❤❤❤ waits the last minute!!❤❤❤❤ love to dog brady!!! hugs and kisses!! ✌out!!❤
Lol im totally gonna pretend that im not gonna go christmas shopping this afternoon (but i totally am!) So you're def not alone.
I just got home from Target. Finally done! Lol and your dad is hilarious. Is he a Scorpio? Sometimes his remarks have a bit of a sting to them. Lol
I feel like with Simon the phrase "if you love something/someone set it/them free and if it comes back it was meant to be" applies. Took 8 years to come full circle but you had other experiences, lived your life, dated other people and now everything came together timing-wise (being single and in the same place) for you guys to get back together. You have history, a solid foundation, and friendship and he seems like a great guy! So happy for you!
wait stop this was so freaking cute 🥺
This is such a lovely comment! 🥺
Beautiful. And can we talk about how cute of a pocket girlfriend Tara is! Like look how small she is compared to him 🥰☺️
It’s so fun seeing Mitch be goofy, he’s so serious but you can tell he’s such an amazing dad and husband! Your family dynamic is the best
Your mom is always looking so GOOD. That bag the coat she killed that outfit!
She has the best style!
I love that Simon is a headless man when you record yourself, it’s so funny to me. Really adds to the “mystery man” vibe
Yes exactly this!😂 Wasn't there also like a cartoon of some sort like that?
Wizard kelly from the proud family lol
Your mom's outfits are always on point. Your whole family dynamic is something I wish I had with my family. Also "mystery man" seems so kind and respectful. I am so happy for you!
I agree completely about communication. I have a very healthy marriage and never thought I would be able to say that. No jealousy, perfect communication. Nothing is off limits. NOTHING! If I gotta talk about how I have gas, he'll get me medicine. He doesn't shame me, doesn't treat me like I'm gross... He takes care of me.
Also, if I feel disrespected or neglected, I tell him and we fix it right then and there. We haven't argued in over 7 years. Bicker yes, but no arguments. I trust him completely, I have zero doubts and know for a fact he wouldn't hurt me.
This!! And people who have never had it believe it cannot exist. And people who have/had it, will never settle for anything different.
We Stan Simon so far! You seem incredibly content, safe and happy with his company ☺️ I think feeling safe in your relationship is one of the biggest green flags! When I met my husband the first time I didn’t get the crazy butterflies, instead I took it slow and he made me feel so calm and safe around him. Safety is your heart and mind both at peace ✨
He is so tall. Whenever I see you together, I could imagine a younger version of your mom and dad! This could be it Tara! :-)
I thought so too, hadn't seen them side by side and was like whoa he's so tall
your dad asking so much about what you’re doing and why you’re doing it shows so much of his never-stop-learning mentality. it’s so cool seeing it!!!!
Your parents take such good care of Brady. Please let them know as a dog groomer I truly appreciate how well groomed she always is and how obviously loved she is. It’s pet parents like them that make my day.
I’m so glad I’m not the only one behind on Christmas shopping. My gifts are still at the store 🥲🥲🥲
This made me chuckle😂😂 but it’s okay girl I think we’re all a little behind this year haha
I love how Mitch casually tries to hide from the vlog when having the bag talk lol
HAHAH I know
I just love your parents. Your mom is the sweetest and your dad's comical breaks crack me up everytime.
With vlogmas winding down just wanted to make sure I get a “Merry Christmas Tara, I hope you enjoy a lovely relaxing holiday” in there before you take a break from vlogging. You will be missed but we will be here when you get back. You deserve to relax in that new home and just simply enjoy!
Mother daughter shopping trip is my fav part in all vlogs, I used to go to the mall with my mom all the time, but I haven't seen my parents in 3 years due to covid. Your vlog brings back a lot of good memories.
5:05 Bradey’s chair trick for eggs is one of my favorite moments from Tara’s vlogs 🥹
I noticed across all your vlogs your mom has an amazing bag collection 😍 but she doesn’t make a big deal about her bags. Love that
I looooove Marcy’s style!! and the way your dad did not approve of you taking the Chanel, I died 😂😂
Thanks for taking us along in the relationship. When it’s a good relationship you don’t want to hide it. ❤️
You're so gorgeous, Tara! And you always look sooo happy when Simon is around :)
I usually start Christmas shopping in August and every year I still somehow manage to forget some gifts. You'd think I'd learn from my mistake and create a list but nope. Glad I'm not the only one who does last minute shopping.
The realness in the coffee montage was EVERYTHING 😂😂😂😂
18:37 Brady double checking herself out in the camera as she strolls by🤣 “ I hope this got my good side”
It's all smiles for me,
when you're with your Fam.
The way Bradey casually walked
by, seemingly looking at the
camera.Your "Dad not approving" caption; as he went on to talk jeans.
Lol I love it . Thanks for sharing.
Btw Vlogmas is going by quick .
I always buy my Christmas basics like wreaths and Garland ect after Christmas on sale then during this season I'll collect a few more decorative pieces and if theres any trends I like I'll pick some of that up too.

You’re doing great! don’t second guess yourself we…or at least I come to your channel to watch you live your life and if that means you sat on the couch all day and watched tv that’s what I want to see. I really love you and your videos❤️
omg this is my favorite vlog so far!! the wholesomeness is everything!! Baby Boo Boo Bradey is everything
Your mom is so sweet! she reminds me of my mom. Haven't been able to see her in 5 years since moving to Canada. I miss her so much.
Oh my, the more I see you with Simon the absolute more I LOVE you guys together 🤗 Merry Christmas honey ❤️
Hadn’t you taken the boost yesterday? It was prolly that what was making you feel sluggish
Your three musts for a relationship (open communication, truth/trust, friendship) are SPOT ON!! With those three things you will find that person you can get through the hard stuff in life with and maybe even enjoy most if it. lol
You look tiny little angel near Simon so cute and i appreciate sharing your christmas season and your dating moment :) Merry Christmas Tara!
“Let me know when you want it back” “by the end of the day” “I’m not talking to you sir”
“They’re not comfortable!” “Why are they not comfortable?” your dad is hilarious 🤣🤣🤣
Simon feels like the grown ups you see on old cartoons cause you never see his face 😄❤
I’ve LOVED your Vlogmas! ESP seeing Simon, Mitch, and Marcy! :) Hope you get to rest up for a little bit after Vlogmas!
I wonder if you not being at the house is part of the reason little things aren’t getting done. If you’re there to point out small fixes while they’re already there it could save them from having to come back! Just a thought ❤️ we’re currently building I’ve noticed I’ve had to micromanage here and there 😅
Bradey's little happy whines make me MELT.
Girl I was so last minute this year with shopping as well 😂❤️
I love that Mitch says he's the accountant, and you say you're not talking to him. He makes you eggs every time you go over there!!! How could you not?😊
The new post notifications make my day 1928392 times better✨❤️😩
You look so happy talking and cooking with Simon.
Loved this Tara, so lovely seeing your parents (hilarious), your home (gorgeous) Simon (midsection and voice, perfect amount of sharing not oversharing lol) , shopping and snow...... :)
I love that your mom’s style is just so effortlessly chic!!! 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽☺️
I love your dad. He so funny but very informative as well.
I, coincidently, got my booster shot the same day you did. I too was feeling sluggish most of the day yesterday. I couldn't find any other way to describe it. I didn't feel "sick", but wasn't myself either. I did end up having a mild fever for a little while as well, but it wasn't a big deal.

@@lorimoghadam3054 lol. Same as me in a week ago. Now feel fine!
Every time my 6month baby girl saw Brady she would smile and giggle and “talk” to Brady. Such a good puppers! ❤️
I have been rewatching your vlogmas vlogs all vlogmas lol but I just wanted to say that thing you do with putting vinaigrette on half of your chipotle, I do that with beans on rice lol for the same exact reason. I want both experiences!
Your parents crack me up! They are such bad influences when it comes to shopping! 😂
Yessss my favorite part of the day!! Definitely going to miss your vlogmas but also excited for you that it's coming to an end!
My husband and I are vibing every morning with the intro to the vlogmas vlogs👌💖
Hello from France ! Yes ! Your coat is 100 % ok ! It's very pretty and the good size. And yes again !

I caught the part when you said “ what I WAS looking for” 😉 looks like Simon has all those qualities! So happy for you!!
I was scrolling for this comment!! Yes she said “WAS” 😉🥰
Marcy is serving lewks!
ALWAYS hahaha
@ 5:25 Bradey said "I'm the main character now" hehehe love you Bradey baby truly the cutest!!!
I love you guys together already. Wishing for the best for you two 🥰♥️
Your parents are so cool with you. They have a mentality of what's mine is yours, and treasure your moments with each other. ☺️
Your mind is in the right place when it comes to a relationship. Passion is important but fleeting. Once someone lies to you; they will always lie. The relationship-built on friendship is one that will endure. They are your bestie, confidant, and most of all your partner in ups and downs. How can you not be passionate with them?

AHHH I am just so happy for you! You are truly radiating happiness ☺️
I love that we can never see simons face in the shot. 😂 I think it’s funny and great
If you like soup dumplings, when you go back to LA, go try Din Tai Fung and make sure to order their spicy wontons as well (they’re not spicy at all)!
Merry Christmas/Happy Holidays Tara!! Hope you have the best time celebrating with those you love!! Btw where did you get that big pink thing you wear??
Love the way Brady did a double take in the camera! Merry Christmas!
The highlight of my day!!! I live for these vlogs, love you tara!
Watching today’s video made me so happy. Thank you Tara ♥️🎄
Omg I also had a traumatic ski experience at 12! I was learning how to ski and kept falling so my instructor took my skis away then told me to walk down 😤 I cried the whole way down 20 years later and I still have never skied since
The coffee content is alway 🤌🏻
Keep both! Duh! Just get some small alterations done and it will fit just the way you like.
Your vlogs give me all the cozy Christmas-y vibes! Puppies, cozy clothes, cozy house, sweet family- love it! 🥰😭
LOVE the jacket! Fits perfect a little oversized!!
Hello from Texas!!! I always look forward to your videos. Your kitchen is SO bright and beautiful!💖
So agree with the friendship and honesty things (relationship musts)- my husband and I were best friends first, and it became more 😉😂 and that building block is such a game changer! We have our moments where one of us is grumpy but if you have good communication it's never a big thing. We have never had an actual fight and we trust each other completely... It's the easiest and most fulfilling relationship ever. We both had some real doozies in the past, so we both say we found each other when we were ready and would know what we had lol!! 😂❤️💗😊 You and Simon are so cute together. Happy for ya!! ETA: I just got back from last minute shopping too 🙄😂
where is that sweater from?? so cute!!
Ahhh that moment when most of my Christmas gifts are arriving today...😅.
I've been watching your videos now for...I think two years? I found you right before quarantine, in February of 2020. I don't think I've missed a single video since then. This is now my second vlogmas watching your videos!

I wanna see your Mums bag collection so bad! She has the best style 😍
You have to get the Our Place steam bamboo basket. It’s perfect for cooking them and you can steam other veggies at the same time.
Also, the soup dumplings I learned you out it on a large spoon, use a chopstick to poke a hole and let the soup drain out. Then you eat the dumpling. Be careful because sometimes the soup can be really hot if you eat it in one bite.
The Aritiza one I like is the cocoon style one. I am 27 and 4’8” a short gal so it is not too long and perfect
I think the jacket might look better fitted if you’re wearing a sweater or layers underneath. It’s super cute! Wish I wasn’t so tall and lanky so I could shop in store for jackets
The coat is amazing!
Hey Tara! Where is the sweater you were wearing from? The one you wore in the mall when trying stuff on at Aritzia! I love it :)
Simon's energy reminds me of your dad...just calm and solid.
The coat is super cute, I think the sleeves could be tailored just a little. ❤️
Love the coat!! Likes like a good oversized not too oversized. Definitely better than the one from Zara!!
i agree with your mom. leggings are so much more comfy. i dont wear my jeans anymore either lol also i wish your besty jill a safe speedy recovery from her positive case of the virus. hopefully she has no lasting effects.
Get more decorations on the 26th... when they're super marked down
When you film next to Simon I think of those cartoon characters who’s faces were always above the frame, like the lady in Powerpuff Girls
I love the hight difference between you two!
I think for what you’re going for, the jacket is a bit too oversized. Abercrombie has some really cute “dad coats” that come in petite and I bet would look amazing on you!
love the coat!!! and hooded snuggles!!❤
I love the new jacket! It looks really nice
Can you provide a link to the coat? Please and thank you! Love your vids 😘❤️
Your new jacket is perfect length and is very cute 😍
I had the same reaction to the booster, sleepy, achey, & a slight headache but it went away in 24hrs basically! Hope you feel better, also LOVE the coat! I think it's the perfect amount of oversized too!
Can we see your parents utensil holder!! Also, for anyone who likes eggnog I suggest getting the vanilla sweet cream cold foam at Starbucks with a pump of chai and a pump or caramel in the foam! It's so good on cold brew.
your parents are freaking hilarious! I love your family 🤍
If the house stuff is little bitty things you don't even really notice and aren't super concerned about you could always just tell them we're good, thanks anyway :) esp if you're still paying them by the hour sometimes contractors can be known for milking that pay for as long as they can. Obv different story if they're already paid in full!
One year I did all my Christmas shopping on the night of Dec 23 at Walgreens...I was broke, working two jobs including a Christmas retail job, cranky and not having it any more with the holidays lmao My grinchy self did not care :p peope were gonna get their cute fuzzy socks, blankets, gift cards and chocolates and they were gonna like it! My gift giving has improved drastically since then LOL
