We made a pumpkin cheese cake last night, Our grey long hair cat decided to stand on her own 2 feet with her front paws touching the T.V. tray for balance, to see what we were doing. Cute as she is, It was adorable.
I love hearing Luna “talk”! She has such a cute voice. I have two Siamese who talk all the time! Sometimes you can hardly get them to be quiet! Love your videos Lauren!!
I love how your boys are great on trying new foods. And they always have such healthy snacks.
Having boys is such a blessing my sons even though they are grown still come and put things together for me, or change a faucet or a light, ceiling fan etc...
My mom used to make the best date bran muffins using bran cereal! She would soak the cereal in milk, add eggs, flour, baking powder, a little sugar, and chopped dates and they made the best muffins! I make them sometimes too because they’re super easy and tasty and remind me of being a kid and waking up on a Sunday morning to warm muffins.

My favorite date goodie is to split the date and put in a smidgen of nut butter and a nut, then dip the morsel in chocolate. Put them in the fridge and be ready to have a Delicious Sweet Treat anytime. Can't wait to try the almond bacon. The thought makes my mouth water!
I love cooking with Worcestershire sauce. It is especially tasty on beef or red meat of any kind. Love the Costco hauls!

They like to show that brand of Worcester sauce to go with the abbreviation LEA like they're hiring for that at the juvenile detention center
I am from New Orleans, Louisiana and we just call it Lee and Perrin. Also I love watching your video as they are so different from where I am from. We don’t know what to do if we get even get a little bit of snow.💕💕💕💕
Too funny Lauren, I just bought 2of those doormats yesterday morning.😁❤️
Great video Lauren
Good morning Lauren! $4.99 for the chicken was great! Ours run $7.99 @ Food City, or $6.99 @ Walmarts. Both in Galax, Va. Enjoyed seeing the freezers & prices. I will need to re-stock up, & have to replace all my appliances, & home after having suffered intense wind damages out of the South 4/1 totaling my home. The porch roof went 1st, then the front siding, then the back siding, power outage, then the roof went. Don't feel bad for me, I'm okay. Good to see your homegrown potatoes got you & your family through Winter. March, I always added my last years' volunteers in with my new seed potatoes.
As someone from England 🏴🇬🇧 you cannot go wrong with Lea & Perrins Worcestershire sauce. It is SO yummy! 😋 Especially on grilled cheese sandwiches or cheese on toast 😍❤️

Good Morning!! I sure hope your weather is warming up! I can't believe of all things, coffee is cheaper up there, than in Wisconsin. Have a beautiful Sunday, sending much love from Wisconsin ❤️
Yay a room for recording videos. Carpets are great we used it on the ceiling and walls to for our band room.
I love your hat! Here in south Louisiana we’re getting the pool ready! Some days we could get in, but the wind makes it chilly when you get out. The magnolias are blooming which is the sign of spring for me.
awwww Luna is sooo special..I love the way she greets you......I think i will send you a magnet of my home in Australia.......so you can add it to your magnet board..would be sooo cool to see mine up there.......take care fav family....love yas xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
I love your inspector Luna😊
Our potatoes onions and sweet potatoes we laid in flats on garage floor where it’s cold and covered with thin burlap they lasted months too
I planted potatoes in my backyard inside tires. Something I learned from my dad years ago.
I love your videos ❤
Love your hat xx
I’ve seen a few of your cooking videos. I was wondering if you have a video making smoothies? It seems strange but I always mess them up. Either too think or too runny. I never get it right. A video of what you put in your smoothies would be great! Thanks ❤️

That desk looks so nice, love the little drawers with it! I’ve looked at walking pads online since I don’t have a ton of space but like having a treadmill for the times when I don’t want to go outside for my usual walks, haven’t decided on one yet though.
Watching your every video from SAMOA. Glad to hear the samoan boys helped you & your dad 😘
Thank you and Good afternoon
I live in Northern Ontario Canada and it doesn’t feel like spring. My winter stuff is all still in the car. My studded tires come off May 6.
Date pudding, aka sticky toffee pudding is easy but oh so good. One of the best desserts ever!
Luna is such a chatty girl, its adorable. I hope if you do try the cinnamon roles, you enjoy them as much as we did

Love your pronunciation of “Woocestershire” sauce Lauren! You’ll love the proper stuff 🇬🇧 Like your other Lady follower, I live in the border of Worcestershire, glorious City. Love all your videos & life out in glorious Alaska 🗻
Thanks for taking us along. It’s more of a curiosity issue now seeing the summer goods coming out on shelves for purchase. I remember that while living in NY seeing what’s new what we could use. A certain product could be out one summer then you don’t see it again. Anything you can think of in AK that was in and them gone the next summer? Here in Florida, don’t have that issue and if they do change some things, we don’t notice. Till next time! Almost forgot, I really enjoyed your video on beekeeping. Even though I don’t plan to start beekeeping here in Florida i. my 60’s, I appreciate as a follower of your vlogs the time and effort you did to present that. I enjoyed it and learned some bee facts I never knew.
Love you Lauren! 💜💜
The watermelon we got at Costco last week was $7.99 still kind of pricey but its early in the season for watermelons still, bananas seem to always be $1.49 for 3 lbs
Hi Lauren, Great Haul luv ur New Rug, The Original Worcester Sauce from the 🇬🇧, hope you Enjoy it 🥰🥰 🇬🇧
I mix the madras lentils with the cilantro lime rice… so good! 😀

Hello there from New Mexico ❤❤
Good afternoon Lauren we have rain here today so bit chilli 11c here in UK
Good Afternoon Hamm Family ❤️ It's an overcast, damp 58°F today. The sun is attempting to punch through. Dakota and Ash (cats) are channeling Luna and soaking up what sunlight there is. Maggie (dog) is trying to snuggle up close so she can get a little sunshine too 🌤️ I've never had to use bear spray, thank goodness. We do have a black bear that passes through now and then, but he keeps to himself 🐻 Loving the fluffy rug. I hope it works. Can't wait to see the room makeover 🙂 One of my favorite summer squash and zucchini recipes is to cut into rounds, season with salt, pepper and garlic powder, lightly coat with potato starch and fry in a cast iron pan with butter and olive or avocado oil 😋 One of my favorite potato recipes is Salted Buttery Chive Potatoes. You can double the recipe. Mini potatoes work best, but babies will do. I use a mix of yellow and red minis. I recommend fresh Chinese Chives if you can get them, but regular will do. I also add a little garlic paste. I know it's a lot of salt, but they're delicious. A win with Family and Friends. Just don't eat them all the time 😊 Jeff Mauro: www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/jeff-mauro/salt-potatoes-with-butter-and-chives-7164297#reviewsTop Thank you for introducing me to Cara Cara Oranges. Juicy and sweet. Mmmm 🍊 Speaking of rotisserie chicken, we went to SAMs Tuesday and there was a line of people wrapped around the deli/bakery area awaiting a fresh batch of chickens. Thankfully, I didn't need one. It was crazy 😯 I love seeing and hearing about kids taking on tasks to improve their capabilities, to learn new things and how to problem solve, and yes, all good deeds deserve a reward 🤔 Hi Andrea 👋 The Pomodoro Restaurant sounds right up my alley. I'm sure it'd be added to my favorite restaurants list. I love Greek and Italian Cuisine. Everything looked delicious 🤤 Have a great day. Yah's Blessings ❤️
Hi Lauren, just watched the video, hope u all enjoy the sauce, and your pronunciation of Worcestershire is better than it was before 😂 have a great day, Sharon
Like shopping with you. We don’t have a Costco store or a Sam’s our closest 45 minutes to an hour away for each. I get to go maybe twice a year😊
It was funny🤭 to see the man in the blue jacket🔵 was looking over you,thinking 🤔🤔 should I buy that too look yummy 🤤
Loved spending the day with you, such a relaxing video. I bought a bag of dry lentils (I don't have a Costco card), I'm gonna look for a recipe to make them & give them a try. They just sound so good! I have to say what a really cute blouse, that is so something I would wear & the hat looks great with it!! Have a great week, Lauren! 🌼❤️🌼

Worcestershire sauce Haha my favourite sauce in most of my cooking. It is pronounced Woo-Stir sauce. I buy 2 large bottle pack at Costco. Doing fried duck egg this evening and maybe not more than a couple of drops whilst cooking in memorable.
Grew up Mormon just couldn't stay away from the soda and coffee
Another adventure in Costco! I only wish that I had one near by. I love the Gyro meat too but the only store who had it has an empty shelf everytime I go there. Please share the date dessert recipe. I need to keep it available to remember to make some. Yummy.
I like the Ikea table have to look for that when I go back to Kansas City or state build one and Wichita ks. That went to my first IKEA store but we don't have very much time the other day. I could get in trouble in that store lol
Good morning from Michigan
You can buy the Worcester sauce in Canada that brand we have lots off English food here alter all we still are a Commonwealth country here 😂

I hope they have the outshine bars on sale at my Costco here in Indiana. Also they have not had the gyro meat here in forever and my husband loves it. I will be looking for it. I plan on going tomorrow.
Alway surprised by how cheap you can buy a rotisserie chicken, I pay more than twice that. Such a big change to the scenery once all that ice and snow melts. Spring/Summer must be so welcomed after cold, dark, wet snow land. where as I welcome our autumn and winter 😅😅I like the little entry table , area looks great. Look forward to seeing the rug set up and finished room. Wonder if you could cut the rug if too big😊perfect pronunciation of Worcestershire sauce and Sharon has sent you the good one, I usually buy Holbrooks. Anyway enjoy
Kia ora from New Zealand.....Bear spray! I be too scared to venture out knowing there's something that can eat me so much more variety there than our Costco's here. :0)
On the dates the best way to eat them is to just eat them as they are along with some Brie cheese!!!
Oh my gosh I never throught about that with the coolers, but your totally right. I need to get a new one and will look a little bit smaller. What do you all put in your smoothies? I need to start making them, but I haven't found a recipe I really like.
I like that desk better then the one at Costco. Kinda Modern Farmhouse.

okay I leave my cover on the lamp shade ,here's why we live in the dusty desert n shades get dirty so fast this way I can just wipe them off. I bought new shades 7 yrs ago n still holding strong. n no one has notice or if they have no one has said a thing. I was thinking to scotchgaurd them ,I still might when plastic starts to color but so expensive to replace
Hey Lauren every time I go to Sam's. Here in Wyoming I think of you we went yesterday and I was thinking about what you would think of our sams club would come paired to your cost co
Lauren I thought of you on my recent trip to Fairbanks to visit my family. That was my first time in their Costco (formerly it was Sams Club). The layout was different than Anchorage and at their fuel station, they had three gas pumps in one line. I’ve seen three in Bonney Lake, WA as well. I wonder if they’re normally three in a line? I wish the Costco on Dimond in Anchorage had that many. Anyhoo, it made me think of you when I was in there:) Wasn’t sure if you had ever been in there or not??
OH OH OH Lauren I heard on the news last week that one of the concourses at Nashville Tennessee BNA airport had to be evacuated cause somebody forgot they had bear spray and it went off. They said it was purty harsh and I bet, lol. Blessings y'all!
