    It may sound like a broken record, but your family videos really are heartwarming. The love and respect you have for each other is what our world is sadly missing in homes today.

    The way your mum speaks to Chris at the end feels very like familial and idk how to explain it but the sweet exchange of knowledge between people from different backgrounds is just so nice to see.

    Next time Christopher is over you should do a segment where he just pretends to be you for a little bit. Don't even say anything about it. Just have him show off some plant or something. You guys look so similar!

    Oh watching you with your family brings back some wonderful memories. The large family. The comings and goings. The little tweaks that only close siblings can laughingly throw at each other. The laughter. The kindness. The projects with dad. Cherish your family. Keep them close (even if they are half a world away). I remember those visits. I used to have those visits. But people get old. Cats in the cradle and all that. Truly enjoy watching you both together. Even if it is only a peek thru a small screen that you so lovingly present. Thank you. I'm not sure why this video has brought all this up. Been watching your vlogs for a while now. Sorry. Signing off now. Enough with me. It's late and the screen is blurry.

    in relationships and families there will always be hardships and of course everyone has their ups and downs and you never know what goes on behind the scenes but just by looking at your family and your partner in the videos I have watched I realize the very genuine love that you all look at each other with and the respect of course. It's truly heartwarming

  • @itsroblaw
    @itsroblaw 8 місяців тому +27

  • @guesswhatrielle
    @guesswhatrielle 8 місяців тому +61

    The clothesline is lovely! In case you didn’t know, you can buy washing machines that hook up to your sink - they use the water from the sink and then drain back into the sink as well. Along with the clothesline, that could eliminate the need to use the laundromat :)

  • @colourmehappyallie
    @colourmehappyallie 6 місяців тому

    8:01 Theo is so precious. Poor guy. I had a little one that was terrified during thunderstorms and rain. She’d get so anxious and pant and pace and try to climb onto our heads. Over time the things I discovered that helped most were “closing up shop” at the first sign of a storm (closing windows/blinds/curtains), putting on her thundervest, and playing calming music loud enough to partially muffle the sounds of the storm. It wasn’t a cure all but it helped and I could get her to curl up next to me and comfort her. We did have to medicate her one monsoon season that was especially bad; she was keeping us up all night and making herself sick. Figuring out the above combination, we didn’t have to keep doing the meds. Doesn’t sound like Theo is as anxious but breaks my heart when they’re so scared, thought I’d share some of what helped us. He might also have been more attached because you were leaving on a trip. Our animals always seem to sense that and get clingier and kind of mopey.

I was so excited for a minute when you said that the bamboo was "for the clothing line" because I thought you were going to launch a bamboo fabric Benjiplant t-shirts, etc.! Maybe someday. Your skills, your manner, and your work are so soothing and inspiring to watch. Thank you!

    Wow, your upcoming trip to Vietnam sounds like it's going to be quite an adventure! It's wonderful that you'll have the opportunity to reconnect with family and experience a Vietnamese wedding. Your balcony garden updates are always so fascinating to watch, especially seeing how you creatively utilize space and care for your plants. The addition of the new furniture pieces from Songmics seems to have really elevated the functionality and aesthetics of your living space. And it's heartwarming to see your family come together to work on various projects, from setting up the clothesline to planting herbs from your dad's garden. Thanks for sharing these moments with us! Safe travels and looking forward to more updates when you return! 🌿✈🏡

    cute, i love the clothesline! air drying is way better for the clothes and the environment. clothes on the line makes a garden look lived-in and homey, and it’s really useful for airing out bedsheets and towels between washes.
    also! i like your choice of music for these videos, and the way it’s mixed is really nicely done. 🥰

    Benji if possible for you and chris you should consider getting theo another chihuahua to be friends with - It might help the clinginess some! chihuahuas are very loyal in nature and want to be around their owner 24/7 however when thats not possible they get lonely as they are social in nature. I used to have one grumpy old man chihuahua named chico for 7 years (he didnt really like other dogs it seemed throughout his life) however 2 years ago I was gifted 3 chihahuahua puppies and instead of sleeping all day in the corner or being clingy he will play with ocean, lua and java on the daily! its beautiful to witness their interactions with each other and healthy for them

    For that old shoe bookcase, some WD-40 should loosen that right up and get rid of the squeak. Also I love what you have done to that "undefined" area ( no longer undefined by the way). Suggest adding a chair for a reading nook but the plants light may be too bright. If you can, run Theo to a vet for a quick check to make sure he is okay. Sometimes animals try to tell us things...... Safe travels to you in Vietnam! 🪴
