I have to say that you and Carlos have done an amazing job raising Skye. She is such a well mannered, kind, graceful young lady. She appear to be the best of both you and Carlos. I saw an episode where she had models of various races on the wall and thought back then that she was an exceptional person to see beauty in all people. Thank you for bringing such a wonderful addition to humankind.

I can't find the way to make a comment to Niki from my phone. I want to tell her I had an ant problem the last four years but not this year. They only came into the kitchen for around 2 or 3 weeks. I planted mint on both sides of our back door to the kitchen outside and that is the only change there has been.

Try diatomaceous earth..I tapped the powder around the baseboards of my apartment to get rid of carpet beetles and it worked like a charm.

Carlo, your mother is so elegant and beautiful. She reminds me of my mama. They age really well. At 95, my Italian mama still gets dressed up for the day and always looks beautiful. Sending her lots of love 💞

I was just thinking that. She is really beautiful!

Carlo's mother looks very healthy in this video! I imagine her sons and grandchildren have been taking great care of her. A 6.5 hour drive to and from the homes every two weeks sounds a bit tiring. But many people drive hundreds of miles per day every weekday. So, it can be done and will be so good for your souls, until you decide it no longer serves you. That is the beauty of making plans, they can be changed.

Nicki, your dress is lovely, and perfect for an afternoon excursion. I feel you can never be overdressed. Audrey Hepburn had a saying "Elegance is the only beauty that never fades" and I try to live by her motto. ❤

Nicki, May you have a million viewers soon. I share your friendship with anyone that would appreciate the depth and scope of your efforts. You are a restful inspiration for the soul, a beautiful journey for the heart. Thank you for letting us tag along. Many blessings for you and yours.

Nicki, I wish I had your energy. Your mother in law is a beautiful woman. And, lastly, Carlos you are living the dream. Your little kayak is a way better boat. You can feel the waves, touch the water, soak in the sunshine and enjoy the beauty of such an amazing place. That big behemoth of a boat wouldn’t bring you any more happiness than your kayak, plus it wouldn’t fit in the cave! I love watching you both, I’m currently unable to travel but am living vicariously through you! Much thanks!!

I wanted to take a moment to express how delighted we were to meet your beautiful and well-mannered daughter. She is truly a credit to you. Additionally, we were amazed at how good Carlos' mother looks. She radiates such grace and elegance. It was a pleasure spending time with your wonderful family.

Carlos has a beautiful mother ! ❤

Beautiful. Italy. With. A beautiful family. We are lucky. To have this channel 🍋☀️💫⭐️🌞🌞🌞🌜🌼🌻🌼🌼🌸🌺🌸🌼🌻🌷💐

We do borax with sugar and a small amount of water to make a paste. 1 part borax to 4 parts sugar. Put it in a glass salt 🧂 and pepper bottle, lay it side ways and wait. They attack it, some will die in the bottle but those that get out take it to the queen and she’ll die which will stop them from coming back. You may need to move it around if any pop up close by. Hope that helps.

Hi Nikki, the above advice is good. The issue is you have to kill the nest. Find the nest and you will be able to eradicate them. Pouring boiling hot water down the nest is another trick.

If you crush some bitter leaves / herbs / vegetables and rub that bitter juice on the route of the ants on the wall or floor, the ants will avoid that place for ever. There's no need to kill the ants. 🙏

Terro ant bait. They will swarm to the liquid bait at first, but they will carry back to the nest, killing them. We've had sweet ants in our house for years, and this works every single time. Love your videos!

So nice to see your mom, Carlo! 🥰 She looks very good and well. What a hoot, Indy climbing up a tree! Lovely video, as always! Enjoy your time in Tuscany! 💖

Carlo, it was wonderful seeing your mama! Glad she is doing well ❣️

The dress 👗 is perfect for the lemon picking scenes!! 🍋

I liked the exchange between Skye and Carlo about that catamaran. Skye was doing the adulting and saying how it would be a lot to maintain, yet Carlo was just dreaming of enjoying it.

Mamma che dimostra la eleganza delle donne italiane di una volta. Siete fortunati di averla con voi ancora.

What is not to love about sharing our lives with canine companionship? Each week, my heart melts as you and Carlo post your happenings in Positano or your new Tuscany home. Each week, a sprinkle of joy is added by the addition of both Holly Poo and Indie. This posting showcases Miss Indies hidden talent of climbing trees. Love how she is drawn to that one particular olive tree. I wonder what her nose in picking up from that one??? Cheers and shout out to Carlo's Momma as well!!!

Carlo, your Mom is beautiful! Thank-you for sharing another fantastic video with us! ❤❤

A quotable quote by Carlo saying to Skye: "But dreaming costs nothing." I love that.

I see the best of both worlds. Dreaming costs nothing. And a tree climbing dog! I wonder what possesses that olive tree! You are beautiful people.

We had the pleasure of meeting Skye and her partner in Piano di Sorrento last Oct. She is the most pleasant well mannered young lady . You have done a fantastic job bringing her up , even in the public eye.❤

Food grade Diatomaceous Earth. Will not harm pets. Will also kill fleas on them as well. Love you guys! I have gone through & started from the beginning videos. Sorry for the loss of your father Carlo, & your father-in-law Nicki; & to all your family members. May he rest in peace.

Wow, Indie!!! Never seen a dog climb a tree so far up. Must build her a tree house, Carlo!!!!

I adore that white jump suit! The dress should always be worn. Use the things that bring you happiness.

The perfect dress for a garden walk.

Carlo, so wonderful that you spent some alone time with your daughter and mother before leaving for your Tuscany home. Thank you for our visit today. I took my Limoncello out of the freezer, and had a glass in honor of our visit. Words cannot express how much I enjoy our weekly visits. ❤️😘

Wearing light, flowing dresses in summer keeps one cool. Women back in the day wore such dresses all the time. You looked perfect. What a delightful video. Skye and Carlo seem to have a wonderful relationship. Have a lovely week.

"It costs nothing to dream." Love it! 😊❤

I have been watching for years and have to say the retirement is treating Carlo well. He looks very happy and care free now ❤

You are a great family . So happy to see you spending time with Papa. Skye has the best of both of you. She is a water baby and loves being in the water . Also so nice to see your Mama .

Penny, my Jack Russell Bobbi’s mother liked climbing trees. She was a tiny little thing. She used to scare me when she climbed the tree outside where I worked, while she was very pregnant with Bobbi and his siblings! Bobbi is the spitting image of his mother. Lemon and white. He’s 13 years old now. He doesn’t climb trees. Thankfully. Time flies doesn’t it? ❤

Carlo, it was nice seeing your mother. A beautiful and lovely lady. You so Blessed to have her in your life!❤️

Grandma is so fashionable❤ I miss my grandma watching this😊❤

13:00 Absolutely! Dreaming costs nothing. And EVERYTHING was first a thought, a dream. ❤🎉 happy manifesting!

I believe in love and I think that you guys are just a beautiful example of relationship companionship, and that is something special

Seeing Carlo’s beautiful (and classy) mother made my heart happy!!! ❤🙏🏼🏆

Youre mother is a beautifull woman! ..Glad u could spend some time with her❤

The kayaking with Skye snd Carlos was beautiful!! 🚣‍♂️ 🚣

I can attest to the fact that a riding mower will definitley make your job easier. The tree in the background with Carlo and his mom was gorgeous!

Glad your mom is looking and is doing well. It was so nice to see your mom and glad you had some time with her. Wow the grass certainly grew very quickly in the month you were gone there in Tuscany. Skye is a lovely young lady and it was lovely to see her and Carlos having some dad and daughter time together. Have a lovely day.

Carlo, your Mom is so lovely.....beautiful lady!!!

Wish it was longer. It's a lovely diversion from what's happening from here in the states. Don't they know we're global humanity (it's like being in a pandemic alone). I so appreciate your channel. 😊BEST TO ALL😊

You truly have such an authentic beautiful life . I get butterflies when you go from one house to the other. It's like going from one vacation home to the other. All of the landscaping overgrowth was a little overwhelming but real life! I love your real life! 🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩💕

We loved the name of your daughter so much that we decided 6 months ago when she was born to name her Lily Skye. I really like your videos and have been following for a while. Thank you for sharing bits of your life with us. Warm regards, Jessica

Holly looks very happy to be back in the countryside. She has shade and NO STEPS.

Oh my goodness! Such a blessing to have two homes in two such lovely places! The lemon farm in Positano looks like such fun to visit - and your beautiful dress was perfect for it! I love seeing Carlo and Skye spending time together- so sweet. I don’t think I’ve ever seen a dog climb trees like Indie does. She quite the talented pooch! 😊 Looking forward to seeing what you get up to in next Sunday’s video ❤.

So nice to see Carlo with his daughter I miss my dad everyday. Carlo’s mom is looking well. 😊

Carlo, that was lovely seeing you spending time with your mother, and enjoying time with your daughter is special. Nicki , the dress was very attractive. A very appetizing lunch at the lemon farm, a good place to visit. Living in two different locations can always give you opportunities to visit different places in the area.

How lovely to see the gorgeous warm sunshine, while we have, more rain, and cool temps in Dorset. Nicki I used vinigar with the ants, they don't like the smell. Good idea to not be away for so long, there will be less to do when you go back. Great to see Carlo & Sky out together enjoying the water, and to see Carl's dear Mum. 😍☀️👍XX

Have you tried Borax to get rid of the ants? They are attracted to moisture. Have you checked to see if you have water entering the house in the corner? Good luck.

So lovely to see this video, loved the lunch and tour of the Lemon Farm, Carlos and Skye Kayaking, your trip home and the nice lunch. And loved seeing your beautiful stylish Mother en;joying her time with you Carlos. Your garden really did grown quite fast when you were away. Your sofa, chair and coffee table looks nice still on your terrace and so comfortable.

I love the doggy climbing the trees 🌳 ❤🐶 Gatto 😆😆😆

Nicki & Carlos, I loved the different segments of this video, from your beautiful dress 🤩😍, to Carlos and Skye's father-daughter-kyak-date, to Indie climbing the tree's -s she can teach some of us a trick or two on tree-climbing, to spending time with Elizabeth and the Girls on the Lemon Farm and seeing Carlos spending quality time with his Mom, there was something for everyone here today. And we love Holly too, she is such a chilled dog . 🤩😍. The weather is just what we needed on this end of the world, as we are in the middle of our Winter season.

Beautiful Sunday so glad you are here , problem with ants - (Using water based mixture that contains borax and diatomaceous earth in a spray bottle with pH 9.5 ) . Nice seeing Skye and Carlo in a kayak it looks alought like Blue Grottoes of Capri and what Carlo said dreaming cost nothing and Skye your a beautiful murmaid in the water grotto !!!...❤❤👍👍

I loved that dress Nicki! ❤ you looked gorgeous! Is nice to see the new house again ☺️ as much as I love your house in Positano I’m always looking forward to this one too ❤

I love your channel! It was so nice to see Carlo with his mom and skye, a family full of beauties! I really think Nona should make more appearances, she’s a classic, reminds me of my husband’s grandmother: who also gave very honest food reviews. Thanks for sharing with us, I adore both regions you live in having traveled there a few times. Good luck with ants, we battle them in Florida too. ❤ to you all

Nicky try Borax. I had an ant problem a while ago and my son located the nest outside and treated that and never had them again. Maybe get Carlo on the hunt for the nest and treat the source. Love the dress too and you can never be overdressed as long as you feel comfortable. Lovely to see Carlo spending some quality time with Skye and his Mum too and what could be better than breakfast with his lovely mum and kayaking with his pretty daughter. Sad you lost some plants at your Tuscany home but you get that you will soon replant new ones. As for the lawn if I was was you I would invest on a ride on mower it will be easier and safe a tone of time for you both.Lovely video as always thank you both❤️

❤Skye looks so Pretty and Carlos Mom is so Beautiful🌸 Bless them both.

My mother in law put red pepper flakes. They keep the ants 🐜 at bay. Carlo’s mom is so lovely. Such a sweet lady. Nice day with mom. So happy for you all. 💙🩷🫶🫶🫶😘😘😘✝️🙏✌️☮️😊🌸💋💋💋 take care

I have a push mower that I use up close to keep the grass and weeds down around my house and my porches, but 4 years ago after saving up my money, and sold my riding mower I was able to buy a pretty big tractor, but a really super cool, classic old Japanese tractor, its a 1979 Hinomoto with a canape and it's diesel with enough power to do a great job pulling a shredder with a 4ft deck on my 6 acre farm, the shredder I bought brand new. The pair do a really great job! I don't know how I kept this place looking as good as I did good during all the months my pastures stay green and growing with just my small mowers. Congrats on buying your riding lawn mower/tractor life out there just got a little bit easier for y'all! Ciao

So Indie is today's star!!!🥰 Such a fun dog!! With Carlo's curiosity and Nicki's adventurous side it works perfectly!! Thanks for sharing your moments with us!!😎💫

Happy Sunday! So thrilled to catch up with you again this week. Thank you for another wonderful video!

I have to say I always feel that you're home when in Positano. It's strange, but the house in Tuscany feels like a getaway to me. As it's a house in the country with quiet surroundings. It was good to see Skye and, of course, Carlo with his mum. Thanks for sharing. Much love 😊❤

What a lovely day ❤I love the Lemons mmmm ❤it’s great to see you back in Positano ❤️🦘🐨Your mum is looking beautiful Carlos 🦘❤️🐨

Carlo, Europe has so much visible history, buildings, castles, ruins, and I too wonder and try to imagine how life was then. When I walk across a 600 year old bridge, I think of the generations of families that may have crossed it, did they also marvel at its beauty, did any of my ancestors cross it…Indie is a talented dog. Amazing how well she can make it back down the trees she climbs. Part cat for sure!

Carlo, you look so much like your Mom. She is lovely. Great suggestion making the journey every couple of weeks - rotating each way. Not such a huge transition and “cut”. It is lovely that you have the option of both worlds to enjoy. Skye is lovely. We have not seen Tomaso for a while :). How is he? Nicki, your dress was lovely and just perfect for a summer day. Another reason to do the journey more often is that you can maintain it easier each time and will not look abandoned while you are away. 😊

Long ago decided that wear your loved items of clothing whenever the mood takes you, you look stunning. You really are both a little piece of me, love both homes and totally understand your feeling sad on leaving both homes.x

Lucky you for having so many choices in your lives! Nice to see Carlo with his mom.

Always amazed at Indie. Climbing those trees. The views from your Tuscan home never get old. Just beautiful.

Fun visiting the lemon farm with beautiful lemons, as well as Carlo and Skye kayaking into that cave. Indie is hilarious as she climbs trees and beelines to that one olive tree and bites it at your Tuscany home. Jenny

Hello, I too am divided between two homes - our condo by San Diego bay and a very big house in a 5 acre property on the mountains above Palm Springs. They are less than two hours apart from one another but each time I leave one or the other I have a feeling of loss. I've made friends in both places and consider San Diego the official home, mostly because I have two sons and grandchildren living there. I'm now visiting my country of origin, Brazil , and am planning to go to Italy with my husband in October. A visit to Positano and Tuscany will happen, mainly because I'm such an avid follower of your channel and love you, guys! I've already read and loved your book, Nicky! Took it with me on a trip to Thailand early this year. Can't wait for your second. Take care of yourselves, say hello to Skye, Elizabeth and all the nice people in your life. Carlo, your mom is very sweet and pretty!
