Since when did Adeline get so big all of a sudden.. It feels like yesterday when I saw the video she was born and now she walks already. Time goes so fast.

I love the look on Agata's face when she finds Mommy ❤️

If all kids were raised with such love and warmness like yours the world be better place ❤ You are amazing example what family should look like 😊

The refrigerator is very convenient when you are sitting at the table!

That breakfast looked so good. Enjoyed hearing the cat purring. Adelaine is growing!

I love the view from your kitchen window. Such a nice vlog what a peaceful and simple day!

It is so cute how much Adeline looks like Tolya!! I hope you're able to get the kitchen arrangement figured out soon :)

As someone who HATES cold water and loves room temp water, I was so pleased to see you pull your water out of a cabinet instead of the fridge. I'm in America, so I'm wondering if this is common in other countries?

I love seeing the whole family together and simply spending time with one another. Your life is simple and beautiful ❤

Firing up the oven using a match bring up happy memories... Same with making a tea from an "essence".

You have such nice large windows for your cats to enjoy the sunshine! Will you have an update on the house that Tolya is renovating for your family?

How is it possible that Adaline walks? Like she was born like yesterday 🥲

Спасибо что ты с нами делишься моментами своей жизни, и семьи. После таких видео хорошо на душе. И ещё очень приятно смотреть как детки вырастают. 💚🌼

Your cats are so sweet. Hearing the orangey one purr was a real treat :) so soothing

Love your family! You and Toyla are fantastic parents, so loving towards your kids! Wow Adelina is already walking and Agata is a little girl. I wish you the best and take care❤❤❤

Ah Vika! I'm so happy you posted a video! I'm not feeling well with a cold and arthritis pain. This cheers me up! I'll have to watch a little later, but I want you to know that your videos help me through so many medical issues. Much love to you and your family! ❤ I loved the last night owl video. I watch it sometimes as I go to bed. You're my favorite You Tuber!

seeing your youngest walk melts my heart

I just love your family so, so much. Thank you for sharing the day to day life you live with your husband and two sweet little girls. It helps me forget, for a moment, about all of the awful things we read about in the papers every day. Your channel brings me joy. ❤

When your husband reached over and grabbed the coke out of the refrigerator I was cracking up! What a mood!

OMG Agatha has gotten so big ! And Adeline has become a toddler. Wow. They grow so fast.

🙋‍♀️❤️. THE girls are just beautiful! I would always be looking out your window! Your sky is so splendid! Good job on the mirror! Looks great!

I love that you tell us your visions for your place, and we get to watch it come to fruition. It looks so much better than when you first showed it to us. Paint does wonders! 🎨🧑‍🎨🖌️👩‍🎨

I love how Tolya just reaches in the fridge and takes aa big swig of coke with his breakfast!😂😂. I used to drink coke for breakfast too! Y'all are the sweetest family with Agatha praying over the food. God bless you in Jesus's mighty name!😊✝️🫂❤️

A lovely slice-of-life video of family life, including the kitties. You have such beautiful views from your windows!

LOVE THAT U R FACING SUCH NICE MOUNTAIN SCENERY 😍😍

Hello my lovies! You must have known that I missed you. It's so cute to see our 'baby' Adeline walking so well and little missy Agatha go shopping with her dad. You make a 'big' breakfast but much more healthier than me. I'll have 2 slices of toasted bread, 1 egg on the one and jam on the other one. With coffee made like you did but leaving space for milk and 2 teaspoons of sugar. That's a lot. Very glad your children eat cucumber, tomatoes and crackling fresh green peppers. I was really thinking about you a lot. If only we lived closer to each other I'll get you to visit me. I'll take the children somewhere, Tolya can go with us. When we get home, I'll have at least one or two rooms 'minimalistic' 😄😉🙃 LOVE from me to all of you! 🥰❤❤❤❤ The cat was so happy on your lap.❣❣

Have you tried rotating the big stove oven so it’s facing the other way? It looks like it’s deep but not too wide. Another option could be putting something under the oven so it’s slightly even taller, then pushing it all the way back to the wall because I noticed there was a gap behind it

Hi Vika and family.😊 so lovely to see you all together enjoying breakfast and just being so sweet. The girls are growing up fast especially Agatha..'I'm not a lady 😂. Love your cats especially when there's purring involved. Hope you get your kitchen the way you want it soon. Tolya is so cute. God bless 🙌

I enjoy watching your sweet family ! Your little girls are so beautiful !

Lovely girls, God bless your family. So sweet Agatha praying.

I love Agatha's personality

Agatha's prayer was so sweet. Both of them are growing so fast! This video was indeed so refreshing as always ❤

PREPARING TURKISH COFFEE: Add water to the cezve (ibrik), about 50 milliliters (1.7 oz) per cup of coffee desired Add sugar to taste, stirring to blend it Bring to a boil, remove from heat and add a teaspoon of coffee per cup Boil coffee. Remove the cevze from heat immediately after bringing to a first boil, discarding the accumulated foam, and mix well. The coffee is boiled twice in succession, taking care to remove the cezve from the heat between one boiling and the next. The foam can either be discarded or kept before stirring it well Allow remaining powder to settle before serving. You can add a tablespoon of cold water to the pot after boiling twice to accelerate the process. We love you and your sweet family❤❤

Interesting recipe for turkish coffee, I have never heard of boiling coffee twice or stirring the foam away. Even letting the grout settle before serving it is something I have never heard before.

Hey, Vika, Tolya and family! It's always so good to hear from you and see what you're up to. Dressing nooks with shoe racks and mirrors together seem to be a trend this year. It's also good for the girls to have an accessible mirror to get the therapeutic benefit of seeing themselves. I'm not sure how to describe it, but it was recommended for my special needs students' mental and emotional development, and they seemed to enjoy it. Self awareness, maybe? I burst out laughing when Tolya took advantage of the table being beside the refrigerator and just casually reached in and took out a drink. Many Americans would be jealous of that convenience. I also laughed and was proud of Agatha when she said, "I'm not a lady, I'm Agatha." Such a strong sense of individual identity. I understand where they're both coming from, being both a childhood ballet student and nonconformist, and younger daughter of a dad who, having risen from extremely humble beginnings to doctoral-degreed college professor, wanted his two beautiful little girls to be appreciated and respected in the world we live in. But still, you can't help but laugh at some of the things kids say. Happy holidays. 💖🎄

Your girls are growing so fast. Adelaide is a cutie. Thanks for sharing part of your day. You all look so happy. ❤

This apartment reminds me so much of your first soviet apartment you and tolya shared. Love the genuineness

Wow he did a good job with that ponytail - I’m impressed

The larger oven should have 4 legs that can be screwed either in or out so you can level the oven. Screw them out to lift the top edge of the oven over the window sill so the top of the oven can slide over that sill and you can slide the oven back further. If the legs won’t screw out enough to raise the oven high enough buy leg risers to lift the oven higher

Your husband is like me. I drink soda at breakfast. I'm glad all of you are doing well. Your daughters are adorable. I love this video!😊❤

I don’t know if it’s something available to you, but I have a Breville “smart air” oven which is like a bigger toaster oven, but also has many different modes. I use it exclusively vs my standard kitchen oven. It just sits on the side board and doesn’t take up much room at all. I only use my “big” oven when baking bread in a Dutch oven.

Hi Victoria! Great video as always❤ I just wanted to add that Turkish coffee should be slowly cooked in a small pot, boiled very briefly, and consumed. So, unless it's a new generation Turkish coffee that dissolves directly in hot water like instant coffee, I recommend consuming it by brewing. You can also add a bit of sugar if you like.🎉🎉

thank you for sharing

Hey Victoria I have been binging on your KZread channel since I discovered it a week ago! Your videos have a cozy and warm atmosphere and it helps me to calm down, thank you for sharing your life, thoughts, vision and taste with us!! I have never made a comment before but I noticed the way you make your turkish coffee is a little bit different than the traditional way. So I wanted to give you the recipe😊 The traditional way to make turkish coffee is by boiling it with water. This way a foam forms on top and also some of the coffee grounds sinks at the bottom, which I will be referring as” telve”. All servings of Turkish coffee cups needs to have foam at top and a little bit telve at the bottom of cup. I will share the recipe we (as all my friends and family) use; Get your cezve (its a coffee pot made specifically for Turkish coffee but you can find similar pots) and fill it with water by using your turkish coffee mug (generally each one is 50 ml). For every cup of water you need to add 1 dessert spoon (or 2 teaspoons) of turkish coffee. You can add sugar if you want in this stage. Then heat your stove and place the cezve on top of it. In the cooking process many turkish people have different opinions on whether coffee should be stirred or not in order to get more foam. I personally observe that it has more foam when not stirred. In both scenarios you need to watch your cezve very closely because after it reaches the boiling temperature and starts to foam, it means the coffee is ready and that’s your sign to remove cezve from stove immediately before it overflows. (This happens pretty quickly and generally it takes you couple of failures and stove cleans before you master this skill 😂) Now for the serving of the coffee, if you made just one cup its easy, just pour the coffee right into the cup. But if you made more than one cup you need to divide the coffee grout and foam equally between the cups. In order to do that first you need to pour little bit of coffee in each of the cups so every single one of them gets the foam from top. After that you need to pour coffee normally to all the cups until 2/3 of the cup is full, that way all of them gets the coffee equally. But for the last part of coffee left in your cezve you will notice it is more dense, thats telve and that also needs to be divided to all the cups, so pour it to all cups equally to fill the 1/3 gap left. Traditionally a cup of water and a bit of sweet (like turkish delight) is served alongside turkish coffee. Some people even serve a little bit of liqueur next to it also😊 Thats it, I know it is a little bit complicated but you can find a lot of tutorials on KZread 😊 Lots of love from Istanbul ❤️

Thank you Victoria Toyla Agatha and Adaline for a wonderful video.

Its always lovely to see your videos. Your girls are growing up fast. Adeline is walking ❤

The double angle shots in the video intro were really cool Vika, good bit of videography and editing :)

Seems like the kitties get on well, which is nice

That's funny, You don't have to get up from the table to get your coke out of the refrigerator.

I find my one (or two for you) burner induction hob to be very convenient for most daily cooking and very energy efficient. I was able to get mine for about 90 USD but my first one was an inexpensive one from Aldi. I use an Airfryer, or a toaster oven, works for most baking, depending on how much you bake. May not be as useful for you when you host groups but could be enough right now.

I just love you and your family. I also love those big giant windows! All the natural light is so refreshing. ❤️

It would be interesting to know in what ways you see your daughters as different from each other and in what ways they are similar to each other. They are both adorable. Your cats are very cute too.

amg Adeline is sooo big! i love your simplicity, it makes your videos really special and comfy to watch

Toyla drinking the coke straight from the jug during breakfast makes me laugh. The first think I drink in the morning is a coke. I'm not a big coffee drink we but i definitely need some caffiene and coco cola is my favorite soda. 😂😂
