Hi Lilly....last year I never even heard of Koh Samui...then I stumbled across your videos. Well...1 year later,my husband and I are here. Currently in Bangrat,but wanted a quieter beach and peaceful setting before we continue our snowbird adventures,so we booked in Maenam! Thank you Lilly for giving me new sights to behold Enjoying your latest videos..true you!.
Thank You again for reminding Us to THUMBS UP. I get so enthralled in watching the vids & anxious to comment and say hello to You Lilly, that I forget there are three things I plan on doing…
Sitting here in a rainy LA, journaling my thoughts while watching you. You have a gift, your thoughtfulness and wisdom are so comforting for many reasons. I’m similar to you, and I feel we are blessed to be just as we are. I like listening to you asking Nam questions, simple yet meaningful conversations and thoughts are food for the soul ❤

The Dispersion of the Nations at Babel 11 The whole earth had a common language and a common vocabulary. 2 When the people moved eastward, they found a plain in Shinar and settled there. 3 Then they said to one another, “Come, let’s make bricks and bake them thoroughly.” (They had brick instead of stone and tar instead of mortar.) 4 Then they said, “Come, let’s build ourselves a city and a tower with its top in the heavens so that we may make a name for ourselves. Otherwise we will be scattered across the face of the entire earth.” 5 But the Lord came down to see the city and the tower that the people had started building. 6 And the Lord said, “If as one people all sharing a common language they have begun to do this, then nothing they plan to do will be beyond them. 7 Come, let’s go down and confuse their language so they won’t be able to understand each other.” 8 So the Lord scattered them from there across the face of the entire earth, and they stopped building the city. 9 That is why its name was called Babel-because there the Lord confused the language of the entire world, and from there the Lord scattered them across the face of the entire earth. Genesis 11:1-9 Beware: God’s Final Wrath and Judgement is very near. Be ready! The World and Nature End Times Events have converged and heading for Christ’s return to rule.
To answer your question about cilantro.. to me it’s awful it tastes just like soap… second question about dealing with cultural differences it’s give and take on both sides… and being patient and open minded … in the end if you both truly love one another it all works out ❤️🙏🏼❤️

Lilly, thank you sharing about cultural differences and how you and Watt get through it. You are right about having to pick battles lol. When people truly love one another you can make it through anything. Your children are growing and they’re beautiful and happy. God bless you, Watt, Luke, Leon, Lila, and Nam.
I laughed so hard when Wat used his lips to indicate “over there”. In my culture (Native American), there’s running jokes about how we use our lips to point and gesture. “What do you call a native with no lips? Pointless!” 😂 So when I saw Wat do that I couldn’t help laugh and made me realize that we’re all more alike than we realize.
Filipinos too are same! Sometimes you can see some vlogs that shows we're kind of unique, but as what I'm seeing, like now, it's normal with other races.,
I loved seeing the boys and dad having fun on the water. I also love seeing a different way of living. When I lived in Kotzebue AK, they spoke with facial expressions. As an outsider, I had no idea why people were wrinkling their nose at me. Come to find out that means "no".
Khun Wat seems like a good man with kind heart. He looks shy just like many Thai men. Good Thai people, we don't say much words but we let our actions speak. Khun Wat definitely one of the good Thai guy. He probably doesn't like be in camera but he let it anyways.
I love Luke’s idea, get a table, while kids are bored waiting for the food, they can make their own small gingerbread houses and take them home, that young man has a quick mind.
Hello Lily I look forward to your videos. Blessings to you and your family. Please tell Nam we love her, her smile is contagious. Greetings from the Bahamas.
LILLY I LOVE WATCHING YOUR VLOG YOU ARE SUCH A HUMBLE PERSON YOUR VLOG IS REALLY INTERESTING THERE IS SINCERITY AND HUMILITY FULL OF VALUE COURAGE LOVE AND COMPASSION
You don't have to overcome cultural differences. You learn about them, accept what you like, leave the rest. It will make you appreciate your culture even more. You are absolutely right. Love is the more important thing in the world.
Hi Lilly, I absolutely love your channel. I came across it a few months ago and it’s now something I look forward to watching every single day. You truly have a heart of gold and the Thai people are very lucky to have you there. I cannot wait for you to replicate those dresses and sell them on your site.
We also have to inform people in the house if we stepping out! And in fact in the morning the 1st person up should knock on everyone's door to greet...
Every time you share details about Luke I'm so astonished by how much our 2 5yo boys who have a different biological racial make up and live in different continents and have a different culture and diet are SO MUCH alike!! It's unreal and as a mother I really enjoy seeing the same behaviour and milestones in other boys of the same age.
U strong person Lilly. My ex fiance told me if I cook for him, he will vomit. Now I meet my soulmate and we like to eat everything. I was waiting 15 year's for my Soulmate from God, it was worth it, it's a spiritual experience. I don't think I could do otherwise. But love covers all
I am in a mixed marriage and it is a challenge, but I don’t know if I could do this Lilly. You are creating your story, you kind of speak for everyone, your the leader of the pack!
Thank you for a couple of examples of cultural differences. I really enjoy learning such things. It brings with it a better understanding of your family's experiences and, also, encourages patience and education rather than assumptions and judgement.
I love seeing and hearing the beach. The dresses you make will be so beautiful. I love the embroidery. Wat is in his element on the sea and teaching the boys. Lv c
I enjoyed this video very much & look forward to them daily! I believe understanding our differences can bring us closer together. You set the example with you & your friends & family beautifuly,thank you Lily! You're such an incredible wife & mom! I love watching your interaction with your kids, as you give them love,freedom to be themselves, while giving the guidance with great intelligence & love.
Lilly, please be careful of little Leon and Lyla. I saw a couple of batteries in Leon's hand. Batteries are poisonous. One child was rushed to the hospital soon after Christmas. My son frightened us when he was 2 or 3 years old. We bought him something for Christmas. Well it was actually Santa and I did tell him off. It was a Crocodile. When we thought that he was playing in his room. We noticed he was quite. I went to his room and crocodile was striped and the little battery [button] was in one of his nostril. I was scared and we rushed him to hospital. When we came back from hospital. I said never again anything that works with battery.

Excellent formula to wealth: multiple streams of income….Clothing company/YouTubing/restaurant business/vacation rentals long term or short term etc…. Keep going, Lilly! You have ambition/motivation and entrepreneurship from your Mom. Wat’s strength is being Mr Mom and a great support to you. You 2 make a complete person. Two become one per God. God made us all unique and programmed with likes/dislikes in food/anything.
Lilly, you have such a beautiful soul. Never doubt yourself because of what negativity floats around... Remember, your family, where you are in life, and your plans for the future, are all right there in front of you, just waiting! ⏳ Stay Blessed 🙏❤️🙏
I love cilantro as most Asians do. It goes wonderfully well with steam fish, soups, tom yum and all things herbal. The roots is especially flavorsome and it goes well with most asian cuisines.
Hi Lilly, I was married to a Honduran. They made the same "come here" gesture and it really confused me at first. It looked like the hand gesture we use to say "get outta here". I love the dresses you have been wearing. The embroidery almost reminded me more of Afghan weaving design but I will be excited if your shop begins to carry them!!! 😊🤗
I'm from South East Asia. It's just common courtesy to let your spouse know that you're stepping out for awhile. Not doing so is just bad manners and not a cultural thing. Also, you've been making adjustments in your life to embrace Thai culture; it would be nice if Wat could meet you halfway and embrace your culture too. I remember in my early years of marriage when I wasn't experienced in cooking - my food was near inedible lol, but my spouse ate it anyway because he knew the effort I was putting in to make him happy. Love works both ways. On a separate note, this is one of the better episodes. Well done, Lilly, and God bless.
They also don't even sleep in the same room. “Do not give what is holy to the dogs; nor cast your pearls before swine, lest they trample them under their feet, and turn and tear you in pieces” ~Matthew 7:6
Lest you think I'm bashing you, Lilly, please know that I am not. As a person of Asian descent, my family and I always make sure we eat our meals together. Before going to bed, we pray together, and we sleep and wake up at approximately the same time, always upholding each other. And as much as I love what you're sharing with us, Lilly, it's heartbreaking that you think you need to adapt to the "thai culture", ie. your perception of it based on your experience with Wat and his family, when in actual fact, that "culture" may not be healthy or kind to your mental well-being. And it upsets me that Wat is not able to see that when we, your audience, can see that you're struggling. My dad comes from a poorer background compared to Wat, and he had less access to education as well. But he read voraciously under candle light (no electricity where he came from!) to improve his knowledge, and when he married someone from a different culture, they both adapted to each other's cultures (and it was a struggle!). Until today, at the age of 80+, my dad never fails to thank my mum for every single meal she cooks for him. Communication is crucial in any relationship. I pray that Wat can be persuaded to see your point of view too, Lilly.
@@em_ma_em I somewhat agree with you. I married a man from another country and culture. We fought those first few years because he was unwilling to adjust to the American culture we lived in. It was his way or the highway. No compromise at all. Finally I was so miserable I was going to separate from him. He began trying to adjust more to my culture and we talked things out and compromised. Our marriage blossomed. We moved to his country 2 years ago and I am learning more about this culture. I can see why he was the way he was. It’s very old school where women are treated more like children and the men are the boss. But my husband and I still do what we did before. We love each other and compromise. We are also both Christians so God is first. We want peace and love so sometimes we don’t get our way but make the sacrifice for our partner. My husband loves his country’s food and I learned how to make some of those dishes BUT I also continue to make the foods I grew up eating. My husband appreciates that I cook even if sometimes it’s not the food from his country.
@@solangelalebron1348 Lily has said before they sleep separate because he doesn’t like the cool air conditioning and she does…he gets cold. I am with Lily…I sleep with the air on 68 and the ceiling fan on in the warm weather and I close the vents with ceiling fan on when it is cold outside. My husband doesn’t like the ceiling fan on because he dries his eyes out too bad and I can’t sleep without it.
I love all of your content but it is very interesting to hear more about the culture there. Also please be careful going out so early alone, I get worried when no one else is around at sunrise. Keep up the great content! 😊 May God continue to bless you all.
I loved the scripture about love being patient as it fit with your examples of real life irritations and disappointments. Interesting object lesson and great filming and editing thank you Lilly.
Lilly, thank you for sharing your faith journey and beautiful family with us. Thank you for sharing Thai culture with us! I am glad I found you on UA-cam. Also, I have been admiring all of your dresses (especially the one today) and was excited when you said you were going to possibly add something to your clothing line.
Luke is so incredibly loving and attentive towards Lilah. He is a great older brother and so mature and well adjusted. He might just be the perfect child. 🥰
I had to search to find this video. Although I’m subscribed, it didn’t show up in my feed with subscribed videos. I only found it because I went to playlists on your page. Love your dress!
Hi lily, l also love your dresses. I hope you don’t mind me giving some advice but I freaked seeing Leon playing with the batteries. In Australia, usually after Christmas time the news reports of small children who have sucked on batteries & the acid had burnt their throats & right down into their stomachs. It’s akin to drinking bleach! I put my batteries up high so my grandchildren can’t reach them. Keep doing your daily videos as I look forward to them xx
Good morning Lilly…I am watching your channel first thing this am…and I am chuckling - my husband & are married 48 years & have 4 children - he gets up & comes & goes ( errands etc) whenever - totally free spirit hah - I am laughing since he has always been like this since our early marriage - so I know exactly what you mean - have a great day & bless you & your family - from suburbs of Philadelphia PA 🇺🇸
You are so right pick and choose your battles the good seems to outweigh all the other stuff ❤. My husband is Colombian and I am American so I understand where you’re coming from and it definitely is about choosing your battles focus on the good and there is a lot
Love this vlog …kids enjoyed the paddle boarding .. can’t wait to see Lyla too three of them on the paddle board with their Dad.Yes your love shows beyond with no boundaries for your family ❤️❤️❤️❤️ 14:58
Really great idea Lilly about recreating the dresses. I would definitely get some if u shipping to UK. Your dresses r very feminine especially this white and the black one and I love the blue one too
I would also buy one if you ship all the way to little old New Zealand ! I love your channel- and the Lilly Hubbard one too! God Bless your family- including Nam! ♥️☮️
I think Wat mother is happy to see all of you. She is waving at you coming over to.her .I have a mother in law too. They always love to see their siblings .. .and always truthful and loving ..
What a beautiful humble church you have! Those people are so humble and they know how to worship God! My father was a pastor And national evangelist and I recall as a child going to healing services and seeing with my very eyes God healing people of cancer and tumors And raising people from the dead! Because of that, my faith in God is so strong Lily! Hold on to the faith and let God use you! You’re life is your testimony! The closer you draw to God the more the enemy attacks!
This is the type of video that I love to see bring this back I love to see this type it's so enjoyable to see you out and about with your family please try to at least make them both ways
love all your video Lily, you know how to show us the beautiful scenery around you 🤔 Nam look so sweet with her dress how fast your children are growing much love to you all ❤
2 hearts, 2 minds, 2 different dishes, 2 different ways of cooking, 2 different cultures n 2 different languages, all in all still together for a long, long time. AMAZING people n they settled their differences n choose to love each other. I know how u feel, though. Love n prayers will overcome these challenges
I have come back to you after a while ! Planning to finish my life in Thailand , after 20 years in Europe and 40 years in Australia .......

I love your videos. They are honest and genuine. Made with a lot of love. You and your family are wonderful. You have a wonderful spirit. Thank you for allowing me to participate in your adventures of life. God bless you!
Lilly what a great insight you gave us regards the cultural differences.....you know it's quite visible too ...when you watch a couple for long enough....it's the little things....but also like anything there would be the positives....
LILLY YOU ARE LUCKY TO BE WITH WAT AND FAMILY. I CAN SEE THEY ARE TRUTHFULLY GOOD PEOPLE YOU ARE IN GOOD HANDS .true love from from WAT AND FAMILY. GOD BLESS YOU AND ALL AT-HOME
Sounds like the best idea coz you, your mom & sis have great clothes & you have insider information on the tropic weather so your beautiful business to get customers from SEA
Living in different society, especially on cultures, is so beautiful and making us to stay together in peacefully and happily even we are differences in our worship. Difference condition makes us to be more open and more constructive views. We honor and respect what they worship and I believe that those who differ from us will honor us too. This is beautiful life Truly.
Thanks for sharing a beautiful culture and life. I am from Ethiopia, came to US 15 years ago, cultural differences are REAL. Most of the gestures are very similar to ones in Ethiopia. We use same gestures for come, go, bye, etc the same. God bless your family
I was married to a Filipino, we have 2 beautiful adult children. Unfortunately, our marriage did not last. I remember one time we were out with other couples walking around the downtown area and one of my friends made the observation that my husband kept walking ahead of me, did not hold my hand at all. But I pointed out how he was the one walking with our children and I guess I just grew so accustomed to the lack of affection it was just normal to us. I definitely learned a lot from his family, his father taught me how to cook Filipino food so that I could feed our children food from both cultures and my husband actually loved my American cooking. It’s definitely a case of pick your battles. Luke is absolutely adorable he reminds me so much of my son when he was that age . I’m curious as you said you were waiting on your house? I’m a newer subscriber and would love to hear more about your new home. I would also love to see you cook and maybe teach us a recipe or two 😊
I’m a Filipina from Philippines. Living in Japan ,married to Japanese. Many differences in culture many challenges.. but i think the key to keep going is to be true to yourself. It’s good to be patient because of love and the obligations that we chose but when you’re alone you will still want u to be. Both couples need their own spaces to avoid clashing or fights. It is really not easy to keep the relationship lasts. We should love ourselves first so we could love them more. God bless u😊
Lilly I understand that you love your husband and no marriage is perfect. I was married for 28 yrs until my husband passed and there were many different things we did not agree upon. I can accept your cultural differences but never allow anyone to be rude to you most of all your husband!! Allowing that type of behavior makes it acceptable to him.Love is also about respect as well no matter the culture! Much love to you and keep making your amazing videos!!
Lilly you had me laughing when you spoke of the Asian way of gesturing, my mom was 1/2 Filipino and her father would use those same hand signals. We found them quite amusing!😄 so thanks for the memories.
Luv these morning walks with you. Luke has great ideas for the business,Luv to hear him talk it out. Leon is starting to express himself, such a cutie pie. Lyla is adorable, is a beautiful combination of Luke and Leon…aka mommy & daddy. Wat is such a sleepy head😊but I love his way with you and such a hands on papa. And pls let me not forget Nam! She is such a great addition to your family- sweet, dedicated. thank you for sharing! I’m trying to support with every video that comes out!
Yes. I totally agreed about staying at one place and do things around the town; especially, when you have small children. I was totally feeling it for you and your family when you started on your traveling adventures earlier trying to get more subscribers. It is so hard and exhausting traveling with 3 little youngster with the age of 5 and younger! My hubby is a Caucasian man and I'm an Asian wife. Yes, it was very difficult during our first few years of our marriage. But we keep our communication open to keep learning about each other. Our married life is no different than any other couples; you just keep the 5 top rules as a priority in your marriage. Such as, trust, respect, commitment, forgiveness/grace and unconditional love for one another. The one big difference about my marriage and my sister and brother-in-laws is that, I enjoy serving my husband and our children. It makes them all feel uncomfortable. But they all got used to my ways of doing things over the years. When it comes to cooking meals, I do most of the cooking in our family; even though my hubby and our daughter, are the best cook. My hubby used to cook every once in a while for me, especially, when I run out of ideas and nothing sounds good to me. My hubby is very creative with cooking; he can cook up a meal with what we have in the pantries, freezer and fridge. Our daughter, loves to try new gourmet recipes from online and it's always tastes so good; even when it's just the simplest recipes! Because it's recipes that I haven't made before. Oh yes. The cilantro. It is an herb that you either love it or hate it! I, for one, loves cilantro and would put it in almost every dishes that I cook up! Thank you for sharing your experiences and insights on what you have learned. Peace be with you all!
You are an amazing person. I know how it feels when you cook for someone you love and he does not appreciate it or enjoy it. But i also appreciate the fact that he does not prohibit your children to enjoy your style food. Asian cultures are essentially male dominated where the man expects the wife cook his mother's style for him and his children. That way your husband is very open minded and you are a very positive person. May god bless you and your family.
so excited about the dresses! Today is going to be3 a good day❤.. taking time for me , much needed to think on what God has for me. Your videos are such a blessing!!! Thank you so much.
Hello my friend. If you could give this video a thumbs up it would be greatly appreciated. many blessings to you all!❤🙏

Now I meet my soulmate and we like to eat everything. I was waiting 15 year's for my Soulmate from God, it was worth it, it's a spiritual experience. I don't think I could do otherwise. But love covers all
I am in a mixed marriage and it is a challenge, but I don’t know if I could do this Lilly. You are creating your story, you kind of speak for everyone, your the leader of the pack!
Thank you for a couple of examples of cultural differences. I really enjoy learning such things. It brings with it a better understanding of your family's experiences and, also, encourages patience and education rather than assumptions and judgement.
I love seeing and hearing the beach. The dresses you make will be so beautiful. I love the embroidery. Wat is in his element on the sea and teaching the boys. Lv c
I enjoyed this video very much & look forward to them daily! I believe understanding our differences can bring us closer together. You set the example with you & your friends & family beautifuly,thank you Lily! You're such an incredible wife & mom! I love watching your interaction with your kids, as you give them love,freedom to be themselves, while giving the guidance with great intelligence & love.
Lilly, please be careful of little Leon and Lyla. I saw a couple of batteries in Leon's hand. Batteries are poisonous. One child was rushed to the hospital soon after Christmas. My son frightened us when he was 2 or 3 years old. We bought him something for Christmas. Well it was actually Santa and I did tell him off. It was a Crocodile. When we thought that he was playing in his room. We noticed he was quite. I went to his room and crocodile was striped and the little battery [button] was in one of his nostril. I was scared and we rushed him to hospital. When we came back from hospital. I said never again anything that works with battery.
LILY ISNT STUPID OR UNAWARE
Yeah....it's good to get reminded....nam and wat take care of the kids while she films I think
@@msdjdj6635 It's coming from a good place and always kind to bring awareness!
Yep I have x rayed kids , who swallowed batteries , can be dangerous ......
@@msdjdj6635Hello everyone!

Have a nice day/evening everyone!

Excellent formula to wealth: multiple streams of income….Clothing company/YouTubing/restaurant business/vacation rentals long term or short term etc…. Keep going, Lilly! You have ambition/motivation and entrepreneurship from your Mom. Wat’s strength is being Mr Mom and a great support to you. You 2 make a complete person. Two become one per God.
God made us all unique and programmed with likes/dislikes in food/anything.
Lilly, you have such a beautiful soul. Never doubt yourself because of what negativity floats around... Remember, your family, where you are in life, and your plans for the future, are all right there in front of you, just waiting! ⏳
Stay Blessed 🙏❤️🙏
I love cilantro as most Asians do. It goes wonderfully well with steam fish, soups, tom yum and all things herbal. The roots is especially flavorsome and it goes well with most asian cuisines.
Cilantro is called coriander in Australia ,I love it !!
Good morning We love to see More of the Family the Kids and Nam Be BLESSED
Hi Lilly, I was married to a Honduran. They made the same "come here" gesture and it really confused me at first. It looked like the hand gesture we use to say "get outta here". I love the dresses you have been wearing. The embroidery almost reminded me more of Afghan weaving design but I will be excited if your shop begins to carry them!!! 😊🤗
I'm from South East Asia. It's just common courtesy to let your spouse know that you're stepping out for awhile. Not doing so is just bad manners and not a cultural thing. Also, you've been making adjustments in your life to embrace Thai culture; it would be nice if Wat could meet you halfway and embrace your culture too. I remember in my early years of marriage when I wasn't experienced in cooking - my food was near inedible lol, but my spouse ate it anyway because he knew the effort I was putting in to make him happy. Love works both ways. On a separate note, this is one of the better episodes. Well done, Lilly, and God bless.
They also don't even sleep in the same room. “Do not give what is holy to the dogs; nor cast your pearls before swine, lest they trample them under their feet, and turn and tear you in pieces” ~Matthew 7:6
Lest you think I'm bashing you, Lilly, please know that I am not. As a person of Asian descent, my family and I always make sure we eat our meals together. Before going to bed, we pray together, and we sleep and wake up at approximately the same time, always upholding each other. And as much as I love what you're sharing with us, Lilly, it's heartbreaking that you think you need to adapt to the "thai culture", ie. your perception of it based on your experience with Wat and his family, when in actual fact, that "culture" may not be healthy or kind to your mental well-being. And it upsets me that Wat is not able to see that when we, your audience, can see that you're struggling. My dad comes from a poorer background compared to Wat, and he had less access to education as well. But he read voraciously under candle light (no electricity where he came from!) to improve his knowledge, and when he married someone from a different culture, they both adapted to each other's cultures (and it was a struggle!). Until today, at the age of 80+, my dad never fails to thank my mum for every single meal she cooks for him. Communication is crucial in any relationship. I pray that Wat can be persuaded to see your point of view too, Lilly.
@@em_ma_em I somewhat agree with you. I married a man from another country and culture. We fought those first few years because he was unwilling to adjust to the American culture we lived in. It was his way or the highway. No compromise at all. Finally I was so miserable I was going to separate from him. He began trying to adjust more to my culture and we talked things out and compromised. Our marriage blossomed. We moved to his country 2 years ago and I am learning more about this culture. I can see why he was the way he was. It’s very old school where women are treated more like children and the men are the boss. But my husband and I still do what we did before. We love each other and compromise. We are also both Christians so God is first. We want peace and love so sometimes we don’t get our way but make the sacrifice for our partner. My husband loves his country’s food and I learned how to make some of those dishes BUT I also continue to make the foods I grew up eating. My husband appreciates that I cook even if sometimes it’s not the food from his country.
@@solangelalebron1348 Lily has said before they sleep separate because he doesn’t like the cool air conditioning and she does…he gets cold. I am with Lily…I sleep with the air on 68 and the ceiling fan on in the warm weather and I close the vents with ceiling fan on when it is cold outside. My husband doesn’t like the ceiling fan on because he dries his eyes out too bad and I can’t sleep without it.
@@madisonc2410 Then I suggest you get a divorce. God wouldn't put to unequally yoked people together, so they would sleep under different roofs.
Love watching the family activities like this one. Would be nice to see more videos like this. Family bonding so inspiring Lilly ❤️👍🙏🇨🇦
I love Luke ‘s idea to have children come and make gingerbread, when they are bored , he is a very intelligent boy xxx
I love all of your content but it is very interesting to hear more about the culture there. Also please be careful going out so early alone, I get worried when no one else is around at sunrise. Keep up the great content! 😊 May God continue to bless you all.
I loved the scripture about love being patient as it fit with your examples of real life irritations and disappointments. Interesting object lesson and great filming and editing thank you Lilly.
Lilly, thank you for sharing your faith journey and beautiful family with us. Thank you for sharing Thai culture with us! I am glad I found you on UA-cam. Also, I have been admiring all of your dresses (especially the one today) and was excited when you said you were going to possibly add something to your clothing line.
❤️🙏
Luke is so incredibly loving and attentive towards Lilah. He is a great older brother and so mature and well adjusted. He might just be the perfect child. 🥰
I had to search to find this video. Although I’m subscribed, it didn’t show up in my feed with subscribed videos. I only found it because I went to playlists on your page.
Love your dress!
The middle child omg he is soooo adorable!! What a cutie!!!
Hi lily, l also love your dresses. I hope you don’t mind me giving some advice but I freaked seeing Leon playing with the batteries. In Australia, usually after Christmas time the news reports of small children who have sucked on batteries & the acid had burnt their throats & right down into their stomachs. It’s akin to drinking bleach! I put my batteries up high so my grandchildren can’t reach them. Keep doing your daily videos as I look forward to them xx
Good morning Lilly…I am watching your channel first thing this am…and I am chuckling - my husband & are married 48 years & have 4 children - he gets up & comes & goes ( errands etc) whenever - totally free spirit hah - I am laughing since he has always been like this since our early marriage - so I know exactly what you mean - have a great day & bless you & your family - from suburbs of Philadelphia PA 🇺🇸
You are so right pick and choose your battles the good seems to outweigh all the other stuff ❤. My husband is Colombian and I am American so I understand where you’re coming from and it definitely is about choosing your battles focus on the good and there is a lot
Love you Lilly, you're inspirational! Love from Perth, Western Australia xx
Love this vlog …kids enjoyed the paddle boarding .. can’t wait to see Lyla too three of them on the paddle board with their Dad.Yes your love shows beyond with no boundaries for your family ❤️❤️❤️❤️ 14:58
Really great idea Lilly about recreating the dresses. I would definitely get some if u shipping to UK.
Your dresses r very feminine especially this white and the black one and I love the blue one too
I would also buy one if you ship all the way to little old New Zealand ! I love your channel- and the Lilly Hubbard one too! God Bless your family- including Nam! ♥️☮️
I think Wat mother is happy to see all of you. She is waving at you coming over to.her .I have a mother in law too. They always love to see their siblings .. .and always truthful and loving ..
Also I'm really glad you are getting good feed back on this topic and not just about the kids.....even tho they're great it was the main focus
What a beautiful humble church you have! Those people are so humble and they know how to worship God! My father was a pastor
And national evangelist and I recall as a child going to healing services and seeing with my very eyes God healing people of cancer and tumors
And raising people from the dead! Because of that, my faith in God is so strong Lily! Hold on to the faith and let God use you! You’re life is your testimony! The closer you draw to God the more the enemy attacks!
I think this was the most precious and beautiful video of all..love and blessings to you and your family..🙏
This is the type of video that I love to see bring this back I love to see this type it's so enjoyable to see you out and about with your family please try to at least make them both ways
I love Leon's curly hair! Your children are beautiful!
Look at the beautiful sky/ water at 14:40. Nice job catching the moment Lilly! Loved it!
This is the day that the Lord has made;
let us rejoice and be glad in it.
Psalm 118:24
I ABSOLUTELY LOVE YOUR DRESSES
Love your videos Lilly and appreciate the effort you put into them and the insights on Thai life that I gain. God bless. X
The one thing on Wat telling you where he's going is so you know WHERE he's going in case he gets into a situation you'll know where to find him.
love all your video Lily, you know how to show us the beautiful scenery around you 🤔
Nam look so sweet with her dress
how fast your children are growing
much love to you all ❤
Hi .Thank u for PEACE and love u share and how u speak the truth.
Amen and only BLESSINGS to u and your fam
2 hearts, 2 minds, 2 different dishes, 2 different ways of cooking, 2 different cultures n 2 different languages, all in all still together for a long, long time. AMAZING people n they settled their differences n choose to love each other. I know how u feel, though. Love n prayers will overcome these challenges
I LOVE cilantro. My sister Hates it. I love your kids ! Luke’s maturity, Leon’s cute naughty face and Lyla’s baby face oh and Leon’ curly hair ! 💕🌷
I have so much respect for you. It is not easy even with the same culture to make a relationship work. Love❤
I have come back to you after a while ! Planning to finish my life in Thailand , after 20 years in Europe and 40 years in Australia .......
My Thai lady friend lives in Khon Kaen , has government job , not a golddigger so that's it .
I admire you , with your husband and 3 beautifull children and making your life in Thailand.
I have been everywhere in Asia and Thailand feels the best !
Anyway you are so beatifull , and nice , I wanted you to know that , you are very special ❤ !
I love your videos. They are honest and genuine. Made with a lot of love. You and your family are wonderful. You have a wonderful spirit. Thank you for allowing me to participate in your adventures of life. God bless you!
You are amazing Lily. You really embrace your husbands culture. I know it's hard but if you love someone respect and understanfing is the key.
I’m enjoy the hands gestures! We use all the video shown
Lilly what a great insight you gave us regards the cultural differences.....you know it's quite visible too ...when you watch a couple for long enough....it's the little things....but also like anything there would be the positives....
At 13.19 yeah I agree . In Britain it’s nice and polite to say to ur partner that ur popping out not just disappear
LILLY YOU ARE LUCKY TO BE WITH WAT AND FAMILY. I CAN SEE THEY ARE TRUTHFULLY GOOD PEOPLE YOU ARE IN GOOD HANDS .true love from from WAT AND FAMILY. GOD BLESS YOU AND ALL AT-HOME
Great sharing and uplifting. Very informative and interesting. Happy family. God Bless ❤️
Sounds like the best idea coz you, your mom & sis have great clothes & you have insider information on the tropic weather so your beautiful business to get customers from SEA
I totally agree re the “walking away” thing!! Thai people don’t usually say goodbye. They just go - sometimes mid sentence! 😅
Living in different society, especially on cultures, is so beautiful and making us to stay together in peacefully and happily even we are differences in our worship. Difference condition makes us to be more open and more constructive views. We honor and respect what they worship and I believe that those who differ from us will honor us too. This is beautiful life Truly.
Thanks for sharing a beautiful culture and life. I am from Ethiopia, came to US 15 years ago, cultural differences are REAL. Most of the gestures are very similar to ones in Ethiopia. We use same gestures for come, go, bye, etc the same. God bless your family
I was married to a Filipino, we have 2 beautiful adult children. Unfortunately, our marriage did not last. I remember one time we were out with other couples walking around the downtown area and one of my friends made the observation that my husband kept walking ahead of me, did not hold my hand at all. But I pointed out how he was the one walking with our children and I guess I just grew so accustomed to the lack of affection it was just normal to us. I definitely learned a lot from his family, his father taught me how to cook Filipino food so that I could feed our children food from both cultures and my husband actually loved my American cooking. It’s definitely a case of pick your battles. Luke is absolutely adorable he reminds me so much of my son when he was that age . I’m curious as you said you were waiting on your house? I’m a newer subscriber and would love to hear more about your new home. I would also love to see you cook and maybe teach us a recipe or two 😊
Good idea to see Lily cooks a real meal and not diet meals for herself. Show her talents to us fans.
I’m a Filipina from Philippines. Living in Japan ,married to Japanese. Many differences in culture many challenges.. but i think the key to keep going is to be true to yourself. It’s good to be patient because of love and the obligations that we chose but when you’re alone you will still want u to be. Both couples need their own spaces to avoid clashing or fights. It is really not easy to keep the relationship lasts. We should love ourselves first so we could love them more.
God bless u😊
Lilly I understand that you love your husband and no marriage is perfect. I was married for 28 yrs until my husband passed and there were many different things we did not agree upon. I can accept your cultural differences but never allow anyone to be rude to you most of all your husband!! Allowing that type of behavior makes it acceptable to him.Love is also about respect as well no matter the culture! Much love to you and keep making your amazing videos!!
Thank you, Lilly, for putting the scripture at the end longer than you used to, so that there is enough time to read it until the end.
❤️🙏
Agree its nice to have to time to read it and think about it for a moment. I love the scriptures Lilly
Lilly you had me laughing when you spoke of the Asian way of gesturing, my mom was 1/2 Filipino and her father would use those same hand signals. We found them quite amusing!😄 so thanks for the memories.
Good morning sunshine!
I take joy in all that you share. You do a wonderful job. I know it’s a lot of work but your videos are so pleasant.
Hi new subscriber here im from the 🇵🇭philippines, i like all your video simple,plain and natural, keep it up 😊😊👍
Bless you so much Lily you’re so sweet I myself love the Lord my God keep blessing you in abundance love you guys from Phoenix Arizona USA
Thank you 💕 for the church service i loved it im bedridden and injoy what you day en
Luv these morning walks with you. Luke has great ideas for the business,Luv to hear him talk it out. Leon is starting to express himself, such a cutie pie. Lyla is adorable, is a beautiful combination of Luke and Leon…aka mommy & daddy. Wat is such a sleepy head😊but I love his way with you and such a hands on papa. And pls let me not forget Nam! She is such a great addition to your family- sweet, dedicated. thank you for sharing! I’m trying to support with every video that comes out!
Yes. I totally agreed about staying at one place and do things around the town; especially, when you have small children.
I was totally feeling it for you and your family when you started on your traveling adventures earlier trying to get more subscribers.
It is so hard and exhausting traveling with 3 little youngster with the age of 5 and younger!
My hubby is a Caucasian man and I'm an Asian wife. Yes, it was very difficult during our first few years of our marriage. But we keep our communication open to keep learning about each other. Our married life is no different than any other couples; you just keep the 5 top rules as a priority in your marriage. Such as, trust, respect, commitment, forgiveness/grace and unconditional love for one another.
The one big difference about my marriage and my sister and brother-in-laws is that, I enjoy serving my husband and our children. It makes them all feel uncomfortable. But they all got used to my ways of doing things over the years.
When it comes to cooking meals, I do most of the cooking in our family; even though my hubby and our daughter, are the best cook. My hubby used to cook every once in a while for me, especially, when I run out of ideas and nothing sounds good to me. My hubby is very creative with cooking; he can cook up a meal with what we have in the pantries, freezer and fridge.
Our daughter, loves to try new gourmet recipes from online and it's always tastes so good; even when it's just the simplest recipes! Because it's recipes that I haven't made before.
Oh yes. The cilantro. It is an herb that you either love it or hate it!
I, for one, loves cilantro and would put it in almost every dishes that I cook up!
Thank you for sharing your experiences and insights on what you have learned.
Peace be with you all!
LUKE. VOCÊ É UM GAROTO INCRÍVEL. QUE GENÉTICA FANTÁSTICA É UMA MARAVILHA ASIÁTICA!
OBRIGADA pelo retorno e pela sua atenção. QUE Deus te ilumine e todos de sua família 👪
You are an amazing person. I know how it feels when you cook for someone you love and he does not appreciate it or enjoy it. But i also appreciate the fact that he does not prohibit your children to enjoy your style food. Asian cultures are essentially male dominated where the man expects the wife cook his mother's style for him and his children. That way your husband is very open minded and you are a very positive person. May god bless you and your family.
Sorry but wat saying "why did you hit me", has to be funniest thing he's ever said!! I spat my drink out when he said that!!
so excited about the dresses! Today is going to be3 a good day❤.. taking time for me , much needed to think on what God has for me. Your videos are such a blessing!!! Thank you so much.
Your children are beautiful and your little daughter looks just like her daddy I think so, beautiful family
Learning so much about Thialand and their culture.
Watching all my ads, hoping this helps...two videos again, spoiling us
