Day 20 - Crafting With Layla! - Vlogmas 2023 - Knitting Expat Vlogs 

Layla, I loved watching you craft with your mum. I couldn’t think of a question to ask you but wanted to tell you how very much I enjoy watching you play with your sister, mum and dad. Hope you all have a wonderful and happy Christmas. Hugs from Australia 🇦🇺 where we have Christmas in the summer 🎄🌞🌻

Oh, those giggles at the beginning lifted my spirits today.

Wonderful Layla.. such beautiful candles.. Thoughtful of your mother to think of gifting such a creative one.... Mina .. get well soon

Layla, those are some awesome looking candles. You have your mother’s artistic talents. And what a beautiful dress you are wearing! Mina, hope your “meds” help you feel better soon.

Hi Layla, I've been watching your family since you were Nova's age. You've grown up into an amazing young girl! What is your favorite thing to do together with your family? Hope you get well soon Mina, thanks for Vlogmasing, enjoying all of them. Merry Christmas to you, Perry, Layla, and Nova, and all your loved ones! ❤😊

Crafting with Layla 🥰. She’s a natural 😊. My flu also went to my sinuses. I used Olbas oil and sudafed sinus max strength. Olbas oil opens my airways. Hope you feel better tomorrow xx

I used to make those candles with my mother at Christmas time. Fond memories.

Great job on the candles Layla ! Love them

Beautiful candles Layla! Get well soon Mina!

What a super surprise! Layla's DIY Show. Those candles are beautiful. What a great job Layla. Your Mom is a great helper isn't she. And your dress . . . it is so pretty. Very festive. How do you it everything in Layla? You have school and music and sports and a baby sister that you help look after. What craft do you love doing the most? Please tell your Mom I wish her a speedy recovery from her bad cold. I am looking forward to seeing the next video.

The candles are so cool

Mina, I would recommend getting yourself a netty pot. It works so well at draining your sinuses!! Hope you're feeling better soon!

I see you are a great big sister. What are the fun things you like to do. Hope you have a merry Christmas

Layla I LOVED your crafty corner! I have watched you grow from a tiny baby allll the way to the wonderful little lady you are today 😊 !! I’m afraid to travel~ but YOU have been to soo many places. Where is your favorite place you have ever been to AND where is somewhere you have NEVER been but would love to go? ( I know that’s TWO questions- I hope Santa doesn’t bring me coal!) MERRY CHRISTMAS

🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉 fantastic love it

If you can get Eucalyptus leaves , put it in your shower and the steam will also open up your nasal passages .

Hope you start to feel better soon. Loved Crafting with Layla those candles look great. A craft related question for Layla, what's your favourite craft to do? 😊

It's been such a lovely Vlogmas 2023. It's hard to believe that Christmas is just 5 days away! Fingers crossed you feel much, much better by then. My question for you Layla is: "Can you tell me what is the very best pudding (dessert) do you think?" Thank-you.

I have a question for Layla: what’s your favorite game to play with Nova? Wish you and your family happy holidays and happy 2024! (From New York City)

MERRY CHRISTMAS LAYLA🥰. WHAT IS IT LIKE TO BE A BIG SISTER? I DIDN’T HAVE ANY SISTERS BUT TWO BROTHERS: I WAS A MIDDLE CHILD, A GIRL WHO WAS VERY BOSSY BUT WAS KIND ALSO IF THAT MAKES SENSE. AS I WATCH U YOUR PERSONALITY IS KIND TO EVERYONE🥰!

Dear Layla You do so many crafts..do you have. A favorite??

Hi Layla! Do you have a favourite book? Merry Christmas to you and your family!🎄

Feel better Mina. Hope the medicine kicks in fast

Hello, Layla! I heard you reading in a vlog earlier this month. You’re doing very well with your reading. What is your favorite book to read on your own? And what is your favorite book for your mom or dad to read to you?

Hi Layla, who is your favorite Disney Princess? What is your favorite Disney movie! Happy Christmas to you and your family!

Layla, besides cello and piano, what are your other favorite instruments to play? Also what was your favorite memory from you Guernsey trip this past summer?

This was delightful. Thank you Layla.

Layla, what’s your favorite color? What’s your favorite toy and why? ❤️💐🍩

Beautiful candles, Layla love you dress, If you were to design your own dress, what would it look like 👗

how much has Layla grown lately, she has already become a real girl. There is nothing in her that is a toddler , anymore. Things are going fast for the girls, Mina. Asks for Layla. Layla, do you ever want to learn to knit just like your mother does? And another question for Layla: what is your favorite food and what food do you really, really don't like.

Hi Layla!! Has red always been your favorite color?

Beautiful!!! Great job Layla!!

I think this was my favorite vlogmas day so far. Thank you Mina and Layla for the giggles. I don't have a lot of family and don't really celebrate Christmas, so it's really fun to watch you two crafting, and those candles came out SO GOOD!! Mina I know the feeling on the sinus thing. I got sick in Sept and just never felt good, I'd get sick a few days than feel half-better. I finally went in Nov. to my GP got antibiotics, had to go to urgent care a few days later got steroid tablets and a few days later was prescribed antihistamines (2 kinds) and neti pot twice a day. Finally went to the allergist a week ago and was prescribed steroid spray and to stay on the two kinds of antihistamines (I can't take sudafed bc it's not good for kidneys and high blood pressure). And I'm FINALLY feeling better. The Urgent Care Dr. said that she's seeing a huge amount of this-bad respiratory infections that never leave. And now in the US we're having the 2nd highest COVID surge. Ugh! Thanks again! Sorry I'm behind on vlogmas, I missed asking Layla a question, but hopefully it will get asked in the Ask Layla session. Happy Holidays!

What's your favorite food Layla? Also your favorite movie or TV show to watch?

Layla, what’s your favorite food? What would you like to be when you grow up? ❤🎉🪩

Layla, what is your favorite thing to do when not at school?

I am so sorry you are having such a miserable time, especially during the holidays. Hopefully, you will continue to improve now that the meds are starting to take effect. I have watch Layla grow up. You have done such a wonderful job exposing her to do so many creative projects. She is just delightful.

Dear Layla may I please ask What is the best thing about having a sister? And what do you like best about school?

Hello Layla! Two questions for you: What is your favourite subject in school? What is the best thing about being a big sister? Happy Christmas to you and your lovely family!

Layla, congratulations on your first podcast, you were brilliant and your Mum was a wonderful assistant. You seem to have inherited your Mum’ s creativity, what is your favorite activity to do, like drawing or painting?

The candles you made are beautiful Layla!! Are you still afraid of spiders Layla?? I remember you had a hard time going through the door because of a spider outside of the door! I also wanted to tell you that you are a great big sister to Nova!! Happy Christmas to you , Nova , Mom and Dad!!

It's really so much fun to watch the kids grow up, find their personalities, start making jokes and discover their interests. My partner doesn't really watch with me, but he catches bits and he got a kick out of Layla when she was trying to explain to you that Nova might be afraid you were going to take her treats away in a recent video. "What a thoughtful and empathetic young lady!" Thank you for sharing your family with us every year!
