A Slow & Peaceful Day Of Homemaking In My Cottage | Kittens, Gardening & Health Update 

You’re Ragdoll’s are so beautiful! I hope Echo & Rory have an amazing life with you!

Yes, very interested in hearing about your health journey! It always encourages me to eat healthier when I see others trying to eat healthy! 😊

I just wanted to say, i love your vlogs, i could listen to your voice all day long, its so soothing, your such a lovely person and its so lovely to someone that just chats about everything. I have ibs, had gallstones and gall bladder removed but have always had digestive problems so would love to see your health journey. Thank you for sharing and sending you so much love xxx

I am definitely interested in hearing about your journey with this diet. Digestion really does effect your health. I know I feel better when I eat less junk. But my nemesis is sugar. I love chocolate. So I've decided on a once a week indulgence. So sweet to see the boys getting along so well.

Thanks Kay we always enjoy spending time with you.❤

I just laughed so much as you panned past the washing... I spotted the rolled up tea towel down the side of the machine. I KNOW why that’s there! 😅

I know you veered away ftom veganism, and I totally understand, but I switched to a wfpb lifestyle, and it's been life changing. Less anxiety, deppression, healthy weight loss, lowered my cholesterol, I have boundless energy, my ibs has cleared up, etc, etc... The catalyst was reading How Not To Die, then getting the cookbook. Hope your new food journey works for you, wishing you luck. Love the new ragdoll, glad they have each other. Take care....😊

Love how you wear a dress for gardening - go glamour girl !! Welcome gorgeous Rory 💖 xx

I have to say that watching your videos calm me so much! I started watching your videos when you got Echo because I was thinking of getting a Ragdoll kitten. I will finally be picking him up mid August from a great breeder that I've been on her waiting list for a Ragdoll for so long, I'm so glad it's almost here! I have ADHD and need to find ways to call myself down. I also have IBS and have also been thinking of working on my diet. I interested in seeing your journey. I wish you and your "littte boys" the best!

Lovely blog as always! I would be interested to follow your health journey Kay. Wishing you and your little family a happy, healthy, blessed week xx

Cats are beautiful. I can never get used to laundry in the kitchen. We have seperate laundries in Australia. I find it very hard to think of dirty laundry in a kitchen were you eat food. Just weird to me but obviously not in most of Europe!!!

Love your dress! You look beautiful 😊

You are such a calming person. Love your vlogs❤️❤️❤️

Those videos calm my anxiety sooo much. Currently +35C outside and its absolutely hurrendous. Cant eat cant sleep and feeling like it is never ending. Nearly three weeks in at this point. 😔

I didn't realise you'd be getting another Ragdoll so 'soon' - it's so lovely you have. Hope you're both enjoying having 2 boys. I'd be interested to know your thoughts on the 'ease/requirements' of having 2 cats vs just 1, after you have had a few weeks with R. No pressure, just asking in case it was something you were considering sharing xx

I find your channel so refreshing. I have two male cats that have grown up together as well, although like you we brought one home sooner than the other. They are 3 now but they were such a handful when they were little. Also, I have anxiety, horrible periods and chronic back pain and it is just so refreshing for you to talk to openly about your health issues. It has really helped me to accept the imperfections of my life whilst enjoying the beautiful parts. I also like garden and now I often think of you when my cats are tied up outside and I am busy weeding---until I too hit a wall and cannot do anymore. =)

It's so nice seeing Rory settling in. He seems to get on with Echo. They're both so adorable

Rory and Echo they are soooo cute together :) yes would love to follow your diet journey, when we have a chronic disease what and how we eat is such a big part of the healing process and unfortunately most of the doctors who followed me through this journey never felt it was important...fortunately I got interested in it and as a good Scorpio I deep dived into it and discovered so many intersting things and have changed my eating habits and just made a final check up this last week and I no longer have Grave's Disease and we are now going to reduce the medicine I'm taking so yes, it's a full time job at the beginning but it's worth it. I'm a vegetarian and I've highly reduced gluten (this last think made me lose half of my belly as I was always bloated, I now eat only bread 2 or 3 times per week and it's not regular bread it's "engrain" (think that's the name in english) and reduced all flours (only using almond flour in cakes and so). I also got a steam cooker and it has changed the way I cook and my life, it's amazing. If I can give you an option for your aluminium when you make the salmon which is not healthy try and use baking paper it's much better and it works the same. Also the good type of supplements, we really need vitamine D3 when we have a chronic disease (and not only) and in most countries (Uk, north of Belgium where I am etc) we don't get enough sun even in the summer and even if you stay the whole day outside so I take vit D3 every day of the year. Selenium also very important. I could go on and on...but yes the good diet that fits your needs it's the first place to start to heal oneself. All the best. A big hug to Rory and Echo :)

I have always been a dog person really, but I love your rag doll cats so beautiful. Echo eyes are such a lovely colour blue. Love your videos all of it I am sure those cats have got, a lovely home with you too.

I’d love to watch along with your diet. I have had terrible digestion and exhaustion, and gone on the journey of healing. I look at it as a journey since my body is constantly changing so what didn’t work yesterday may work today. thank you for sharing your struggles, it helps so much to not feel like the odd man out. I so wish I was there to help support you in your journey! I found that food is so much a matter of habit. I know what is not working for me and it is worth it to find healthful alternatives. They are out there!

The new kitty is SOOO cute with echo!!!

Loving your channel !!! 😘 Love you beautiful boys ,there getting along well 👍

Love "Breaking Bad" -- warning it can be addictive! Ha. I'm sure you already knew that! Loved seeing your adorable sweet kitties. They are so precious. Hope you find a solution to your health issues real soon. Take good care. 💚💙💜🧡

I love your channel . I love your vlog videos so much. I appreciate that its a full lifestyle channel to include your daily life, health updates, the kitties, gardening, cooking, decorating, and everything else you do, lol. I live that you take us along for the whole ride in your life. Your so soothing to listen to and so relaxing to watch. It eases my anxiety and depression to watch you everyday and feel as though im right there with you. Thank you for making these videos for us. You are my go to and favorite youtuber . 💙

Great job your plants are only gorgeous! Hugs and kisses to the boys😹💙

I love watching your videos my favourite by far 😍💕❤

Awwww i cant wait to see little Rory on the washing line with his big brother Echo. I find that so sweet. Such fun they'll have. Good luck with your new gut journey. Its not really my thing but i'm looking forward to seeing the videos. Another calming lovely peaceful vlog. Thank you Kay. xx

I love your videos, they are a real inspiration, thank you so much for sharing so openly. Rory seems to have settled in beautifully, it’s lovely to see the 2 of them getting on so well. Good luck with your health journey, I agree with you that everything health wise is fairly interconnected, and to sort out digestive issues is the best thing you can do to help yourself. I have found that having a large salad every day makes the world of difference to me. Sending you my very best wishes.

Ruary is just gorgeous and how lovely that echo is getting on well with him. I love all your videos, they calm me completely and you are just so so so lovely x

Aww.. the boys are having so much fun 🐾

LOVE!!

Your garden is looking so good. I have lots of hydrangeas and you can cut the dead heads to encourage new flowers, they dry really well also if you cut them just before they start to go brown and put them in a vase of water and they will naturally dry out. I would keep them out the way from the cats as I am not sure if they might be harmful. Have you thought of growing cat mint (proper name is Nepeta - nothing like mint) s they love to roll in it.

Awe thank you Katy absolutely love your vids and your beautiful boys Rory is settling in perfectly. Your boys are gorgeous I have a Tabby he's adorable! He's 12 years old but behaves like a kitten! All the best with your health glad your getting some tests love and light hugs too 🌺

Brilliant video so in love with your new kitten u r so lucky to have two cats 🐱 your garden is looking good 😊 it’s great to be outdoors hope we get a bit more sun thanks for blogging take care 😺😻

I'm very interested in your health journey. I have Hashimoto's and Hypothyroidism. My lastest blood test said my insulin was really off. I'm having to start a low-carb and low-sugar diet if I don't want to become a diabetic soon. It would be so encouraging to watch your videos of health and cooking.

Where do you get your dresses ? they’re so lovely and flattering

Your garden is so beautiful!

We had so many lady bird things on the back of our house and I’m so glad I left them alone, they’ve all gone now but we had so many lady birds everywhere at one point 😂 🐞

Absolutely love watching your videos. I have a 9 month old ragdoll and our second kitten is joining our home next week! It's been so lovely having your experience to follow along with and reflect.

When you have chronic illness things can be so overwhelming. True! I know my diet affects the way I feel but it’s such a hard battle. I hope you do really well. I’m trying again, also!

Congrats on the new kitten - he is lovely!

Definitely interested in your health journey and diet. Love hearing about all your bits & bobs of your lifestyle. You provide lots of inspiration for us. Thank you 🙏🏻

Hi there im a new subscriber to your channel i love your channel your so calming to watch and listen to and your cats are just beautiful x

Leave the hydrangeas until spring then prune all the old flowers heads cutting back to the first pair of strong buds below a flowerhead. Last years flowerheads give the new buds some protection against late frosts. Obviously cut out any damaged or diseased bits.

Wishing you lots of love and good wishes on your new journey to reclaiming your health. I am so glad you are getting help now from the medical practice. Make sure they listen to you and follow all necessary tests. You need answers xx

Love the sunflower and sweetpeas. Your herbs are looking fantastic. Love a garden update. (Frances) ❤

Would love to hear more about how your health is progressing. I have endometriosis and had two tennis ball large cysts removed, and my fallopian tube about 7 years ago, had had problems with menstruation and intestinal system for many years until surgery. At the same time I changed my diet to vegan, it has done good for my intestinal system. I have just been diagnosed with fibromyalgia and atopic allergy. My hair falls out, I remember poorly and I am terribly tired all the time. But a good mood, relaxation, healthy diet, time in nature and a good network are important. And then of course nice vlogs, thanks for them. I wish you the best . And last but not least, congratulations on the little new cat in the house, so sweet.

Lovely vlog as always! I would be interested to follow your health journey Kay. Wishing you and your little family a happy, healthy, blessed week xx

I can't believe that you were gardening in that really nice dress

Totally love your videos, they are just so calming and I love your beautiful ragdoll cats,they are gorgeous! :) Also, I should add, I have Multiple Sclerosis and lately I have really been taking care of my gut health, I would really love to see more videos from you and how you get a long with your health etc. Lots of love xxx

I look forward to your videos every weekend. They come out at 630pm in my time zone and they are just the best way to spend my weekend evenings.

Would love to see the health journey in the videos with the news diet you are following x

Get yourself an Instant pot . Multi use pot it’s brilliant, slow cooker, rice, yogurt, and many more things. I hard from people who have gut issues that colostrum it’s meant to be good. As well a Fermented foods. So happy your are getting tests. Your in my prayers. 💖

Yes interested in your diet videos, I'm looking into a simular thing and finding it overwhelming xx

One tip: if you don't want mint plants to take over your whole garden, don't ever plant it in the ground. My aunt made the mistake and now she mint EVERYWHERE🤣

I have found Kombucha to be excellent for IBS but only buy Equinox kombucha direct from the company as it has to be stored properly and kept refrigeratedx

I am from Bahrain i enjoy your videos

very interested in finding out more about your health and diet journey, might help and encourage me to stick to my own.

Hee Kay! Thank you for this relaxing, honest, comfortable video. You take such good care of your cottage, garden en family. It's lovely to see and to watch you grow over the years. I'm glad to hear you got the referral you needed from your gp. And I'm sure you'll figure out what diet works best for you and your system! For me, gluten is the biggest issue. My digestive system is finally finding some balance now that I'm not eating gluten anymore. Quitting refined sugar has supported my mental energy. As well as maca, saffron and magnesium bisglycinate supplements. I can definitely recommend visiting a licensed natural doctor, to give you personal advise on your gut, what to skip and what supplements might suit your system best. I got such good advice from a natural doctor in my town. She works as a gp and has her own practice in natural medicine on the side. Perfect combination if you ask me :) But this is just my perspective. You'll find your way, Kay! You got this! With love from the Netherlands.

The kitties are beautiful & are getting along so well already! I would be interested learning how to make bone broth. I love our slow cooker. Hope you get answers to your health. A friend of mine had stomach issues constantly & turns out she is allergic to garlic! Don’t know if you’ve had any food allergy tests done but it’s worth looking into. Love your cute cottage & your garden updates.

I love peonies and hydrangeas but I think it’s to hot in the desert so I don’t even try. I do love your garden. I’m getting a lot of ideas 😀

Hi I watch Gray’s Anatomy for distraction it’s fabulous!! Definitely would love to see your diet videos. Thank you xx

Rory is the same age as my ragdoll he was born on the 19th of March. 💙

You looked gorgeous in your dress by the way... Rory has loads of energy and it’s lovely to see them playing together. It would be interesting to see the food diet you’ll be changing to. I also have stomach issues which I think is IBS although I haven’t been to a doctor to get diagnosed. It’s just that I can’t be bothered to list everything I eat and try to find foods that trigger the pain and the constantly going to the toilet! I don’t have it all the time but I would say once every two to three months but it’s still an inconvenience when it does come around.

Eco reminders me of my cat shiro the big brother and Roy the annoying younger siblings mine is called plum and they are both hand fulls

Very interested in your new diet regime.

Hello beautiful! He woke poor Echo up with a pounce lol! That must have been a fright for Echo 🤗🙏🏽 they seem to be doing better each day! Would love to see how you manage both in the garden! There’s nothing I don’t like about this time with you and your babes 😃🤗🙏🏽🥰! Always excited for these long day/week in your life. Being in the garden it did remind me of a question I meant to ask in the vlog where you brought out the strawberries and I remember watching you (well that sounds creepy stalkery 😆) put the baskets where the bird feeds were and meant to ask, wouldn’t the birds also eat the berries? Mint dies take over like crazy! Lol. If you are having acid reflux at all, I recommend against it. There are actually contraindicators with mint and certain stomach issues. Tea looked so yum! None for Dom 😜?! I would definitely love to see both dedicate videos on your health journey but also as part of the vlogs! Like today, sharing what you made as part of the day’s journey itself 😃. Really happy you are on the road to getting medical answers as well! I did find it funny that you said it was a slow loving day… Sister! Did you see how much you accomplished! But I guess there’s a difference between slow living and lazy restful days?🤔😄🙈 sure… that’s what I am (trying anyway) doing today! Have an amazing weekend with the fam! See you soon! 😃🤗🙏🏽🥰

Ladybird bugs. ❤

You probably already know but RU-vidr Farmhouse on Boone and her Sister, Laura talks a lot about GAP, fermented vegs, bonebroth etc. // Lotta from Sweden.

🥰

Loved this one and youre looking absolutely radiant! I wish you success on your new diet, and it would be really interesting to follow along. As a histamine intolerant individual I just want to give you heads up about broths and fermented stuff that are really high in histamine.. and if in case you dont feel better on the (or any) new diet dont listen to anyone convincing you that youre experiencing some "detox" ("Herxheimer") reaction.. 🥳 Ive had that when in fact I was having a really bad reaction to a high salicylate food..

I suffer for years with digestive problems, IBS, FYBROMYALGIA etc... Have you tried Fodmap diet?? It really works. I cut out ALOT of meat, lactose,gluten,all spices etc...Feel much better. Good luck on your journey. I am also being tested for Hpylori. Many blood tests also. All the best to you.

id just like to say I hope you are able to sort out your health as I know what it's like to feel like rubbish and not really get anywhere fast...i was lucky in that I found out a major part of my problem was not absorbing b12 which I mentioned in another video..as you can tell iv obv watched more since 😅...but in regards to the books iv bought loads and never actually ended up following any as it was to overwhelming esp when I had major brain fog and fatigue...however once I found out about b12 and got much better I eventually was able to overhaul my diet but not follow a specific protocol that had phases ect to further improve my health...and I think this is probably the easiest way to start and you can always ajust to how you see fit. what I did and highly recommend is to cut out all grains all veg/seed oils they are inflammatory no doubt about it the oils I mean..no lentils..peas..beans legumes and eat mainly all animal foods like meat fish poultry eggs dairy bone broths...including animal fats and plant fats like avocado oil and olive oil. vegetables with the occasional fruit nuts/seeds. this in it's simplist form is a low carb diet. it's believed that the carbs even natural ones can cause inflammation in the body as all carbs end up as glucose no matter the source its come from. so by cutting down on carbs(sugar) it will reduce inflammation and improve health. it took me a long time to get to where Iam now..i cook everything from scratch including spice blends as the premade ones including the little jars have added sugar and less desirable ingredients. I didn't start off this clean eating but as I got more into it and saw more improvements it spurred me on to cut out as much processed stuff as I could..even down to making iced teas/infusions so I was no longer drinking squash or diet pop. and roasting my own nuts to cut out the veg/seed oils. the point i was trying to make was that I got some low carb books and started making the recipes until eventually all my meals had been swapped out..so I reduced the carbs/processed foods over time which was alot easier on my body to transition as when you cut out the processed carbs and switch to lower natural carbs your body will go through withdrawal.

❤️🤗🌼

love your cats I am gonna get a rag doll cat

Oh I haven't come across the rose nor Zoflora. Must look out for it. (Frances)

Where did you get that lovely dress from pls x

Aww look at that instant friends .how lucky is that ..yay :) they are so adorable . A ragdoll is my dream cat but not ready for one yet already have my hands full..good luck with your test results

May I ask where you got that bed that had all the toys around it for Echo? The one at 4:48

Hello everyone der and I hope you have a great day today and enjoy your time White thy cats Echo and Rory

I love your dress, where is it from please.

❤️💋🐈❤️💋🐈❤️🏡🍀

You can buy bone broth just like you buy soup stock.

I use the thrive for my kitties too - do you have an Amazon affiliate link? Happy to support you if you do x

Hi, I am a sonographer and I just wanted to give you a heads up that ultrasound is not the best way to diagnose endometriosis. It is ver y often not seen on ultrasound and therefore not diagnosed. An MRI would be the best test. As well polycystic ovarian syndrome is not always seen with ultrasound. A complete hormone panel done through blood work is the best. I wish you all the best and hope you can figure this out. The process to bring g properly diagnosed is not easy and can be stressful. Keep at it. 🌺

Did they find anything in the tests kay?

Rory and echo are so cute 💖💞 and those cosma snackies are from zooplus 🐾 😻 and defenitly check them out 😘 😍 💞

Hi, what’s the song that’s playing at 27:55? Thank you 🙏

This might seem crazy to ask but I have to. I've never had a pet indoors but now I want to and I'm leaning towards adopting a cat. I've learnt learnt lot watching and reading about ragdoll, I can handle everything owning a cat or any pet at all can throw at me unless dealing with poop 🥺🥺 reason dogs are no no for me it's crazy I know and I'm sorry. I just want to know do any of yours do their business around your house besides their litter box? Echo especially since you've had him the longest. Let me know pls

Hello, I hope you don't mind me leaving this comment, just got to the bit of the video where you say about ultrasound to check for endometriosis etc. It often doesn't show up on ultrasounds unfortunately so if you do have other symptoms of endo, make sure they send you to a gynae consultant.xx

Please who is the artist playing the music?

You mentioned food combinations, look at Ayurveda, it's really interesting and helped my digestive problems

hey Kay, maybe you've told this in another vlog that I've missed, but i want to ask anyway, do you let your cats out to the garden ever?? if not why? my cat looooves being outside, seems like they would too update: if i would hold off 5 more seconds I'd see that you brought echo out hahahah

How old is Rory?

Hi Kay, I watch a channel called Farmhouse on Boone, you may get some good info on fermentation, making Sour Dough starter, yogurt etc. The lady is from the US and she makes homemade food for her family. Very interesting channel. May help, check it out.☀️
