"When the girls have children, if they decide to, if they want to, if they can." You just showed yourself to be kinder and more thoughtful than all the people who asked me when I was going to start a family during my 7 years of infertility, and it just fell out of your mouth like nothing. ❤️
People often just don't think or realise what it's like to struggle to conceive. It seems like an innocuous question to them when in fact it can pierce like a knife. Sending my wishes to you for a healthy pregnancy in 2020.
What I’ve always liked about your videos is how real they are. You don’t hide the realities of real life and only show a polished version of it, this is you this is your life and that’s what it is. F anyone who tries to make you feel bad about not being an unrealistic picture of life.
I've missed this style of video sooooo much. Your imperfection 'messy' (still tidier than mine!) home, cleaning and chattiness is what sets you apart from everyone else I watch. So much more relatable and down to earth.
I love that not everything in your videos is perfect and sterile. That why I always watch your vlogs because I am so tired of the fabricated perfection so many people try to show off on the internet
Here here! You don't come to Louise lil corner of the world for perfection. It's the imperfections that make it perfection. As a reminder that though we strive to be our best as we see Louise on her vlogs do. We always come up short the point is we keep going.
You have no idea how much I need a cozy Louise weekly right now. It’s been a horrible week in Australia and I’ve constantly had tears in my eyes, I am so ready to plonk down on the couch with a tea now and watch this! Thank you for being that consistent little bit of feel good 💖💖
One day that house will be “the place you raised your girls” and a lime scaly tap will mean absolutely nothing to you. Enjoy your videos and post what you want. It’s not the decisions we make that define us, but how we react.
Louise don’t hold back anymore , just let it go! Be free and do what you want . You won’t ever be able to control what people think and say but like you said just don’t let it bother you, it’s more of a reflection on them than it is you. I think this year you should just go crazy, film a video whilst your house is a mess , with the craziest hair you can possibly do, almost like a screw you to people 😁 Happy new year! 💓
I love your intro waffle! In my house there is always things to be done and it will never be 'insta worthy' but to me it is my beautiful home filled with random trinkets and memories( and too much laundry 😂) It must be hard being on such a large platform where people feel free to judge you, you're doing a wonderful job and these people with immaculate houses must have a Monica closet(friends reference)
When people comment on someone’s house being messy, it’s no different than commenting on someone’s weight. It is setting people up for feelings of failure. When did our expectations become so high? Apparently we all have to be slim with perfect houses. That’s not me and never will be. You are setting a great example by just being you. And your house is lovely just the way it is. It is a home that is lived in and filled with love.
Oo Sunday morning Louise makes me feel cosy! I like your list “Quick wins” idea definitely going to embrace this for 2020 Also please don’t feel you need to sensor your life of all the normal “mess”. In fact, I would argue that that is why half of us love your content- the normality and relatability is what makes me feel so cosy! x
Can I just say, seeing someone have messy bits in their house will make me feel so much more relaxed about my own house. I prefer to see lived in houses!
I think that the comment about it your girls have children is really lovely, some parents seem to expect that they will have grandchildren, and are not so nice about the lack of grandkids.
Love the normal stuff! We see too much perfect online so simple things like cat food on your hand is really relatable to lots of people! We only see a snapshot of the kids too so you probably only film the fun bits like eating out and treats, that's not their whole lives! I have a 2 year old who only wants to eat beans, it's part of having kids that food is hard I think! Xx
I don’t comment often but I had to let you know that I don’t care if you have on makeup, if your home is perfect or not or if you show something “gross”. I watch these videos because I love your heart. Your loving nature, caring and kindness fill me with joy. Love and all the best to you and yours. P.S. I can’t get over how much Oearl has grown. My heart just melts.
One of the reasons I still love to watch your videos is because you are so real and genuine and refreshing in every single video you post. I love seeing your messy house and messy hair and no make up, because those things make you seem more like a real person and more relatable to me and everyone else. We’re all humans and we all have messy homes and the fact that you are committed to keeping that part of you in your videos means so much to me. I hope that all makes sense. Love you so much xoxoxoxo
I genuinely cried when I started the video. Today is my birthday, I am feeling incredibly low and not feeling my friends and family because they’re all busy. I needed some comfy and thank god for you Louise x
Brownie Bakery Happy birthday to you! I hope you feel better soon. How about trying to read a book to give your mind a rest? Take care and keep your chin up xxx
Pearl's speech has come on leaps and bounds in what seems like such a short amount of time. It's melting me and making me broody. 2/3 is my favourite age 😍
I was exhausted myself listening to Louise talk about people’s comments and worrying about what other people think. F them! We waist so much bloody time worrying about other people’s opinion. It doesn’ matter!! It really doesn’t matter!!! Keep being yourself!!! 🙏
I am a little offended that people would be invited in to louises house and say rude things. louise has a great following for being her herself and we love her.
I must just say that one of the many things I love about your videos is how they show reality and not a dressed up version of life. Even the tidyest of people have a messy house from time to time! Who cares! Keep being you! 😘
Louise, I simply love your new cookware. I'm not a professional cook, but willing to learn. I've watched numerous cooking vlogs over the years and have learned so much. I would love a "cook and learn with me" vlogs. !!
Louise’s videos always give me baby fever, but I love that she doesn’t cut out the less favourable moments (the mess, stress, and uncooperative moments). My day will come, but it can definitely wait! Thanks for the lovely coziness 🥰
I adore you the natural life, the real life, the beautiful life you are incredible thank you for being you, for showing us any part of your life, blinded by your beauty kindness and wisdom I see nothing else. You are a real role model you are just so adored, thank you for all you do. Know you’ve got thousands of people here in awe of you, not worried about anything in the background 🧡
I love when people share the real sides of life. Viewers can get down on ourselves that our lives, houses, appearances, etc aren't as tidy as those we watch. Someone being relatable is so much more appealing to me. Love ya!
I just want to say, I most definitely forgive any mess I see in your videos. I always think a little mess means you’re just prioritizing doing all the work of being a wonderful mum instead of keeping the house perfect! I’ve never commented before but I know my Mom felt like this when I was growing up, even without social media. There is so much that goes in to being a mum that prioritizing your time is super important! Love your videos and excited for this year!
Love love love how real you are 💜As a young adult only just 'getting started' on my life, hoping to one day have a family, it's so refreshing that you show the realness, the limescaley sinks, the random socks, the gorgeous moments with family. Your vlogs have so much LOVE which is exactly what life and family is all about - not a 'highlight reel' and perfectionism - just pure, real, messy love
I don't often comment on video's but thought I'd put my 2 cents in on the discussion at the beginning of the video! Honestly Louise, I find it so refreshing when influencers on any social media show the "truth" of their life - the mess, the bad hair days, etc. If I have a mess in my house, I find myself getting frantic because I'm aware that "people don't live in mess," but of course everyone does! I guess what I'm trying to say, is THANK YOU for being real, honest and genuine
Tip coz I’ve learnt the hard way - put the bubble wrap between the pots so you don’t scratch the non stick surfaces. And I love watching real houses with a bit of normal mess, more relatable and watching it being cleared away is very inspirational. Happy New Year 🥳 🥳
Oh Louise, I've been so I'll this past week, I can't tell you how much this soothed me, your voice, your videos, you with your children, it's so soft and gentle, I really feel like I can have a giggle along and just enjoy, there's nothing eratic or stressful, you just seem like the warmest person on the planet! Big hugs xxx
Loved this ....authenticity is not a given and it’s not easy. I’m a counsellor and sometimes it would probably be easier to hide behind a professional role and not be real but it’s not what people want or value. Maybe RU-vid is the same ? I love getting to know you and feeling that the real you is up on the screen. Thank you for properly grown up content xxx
I absolutely loved this! I love seeing you just being you especially with all the natural life things. It really made me feel like not always having things sorted around the house and having pizza for lunch as a treat is ok unlike how most other youtubers I watch make me feel not so great about things like that. Hope to see more of this style of content from you 😊
Molly this is music to my ears! Not the bit about other YTers making you feel not great because I know that won't be their intention at all, but the bit about enjoying the real life-ness of it all. Whilst editing I was thinking, 'OMG that jumper is such a sack/OMG maybe I shouldn't show the pizza/OMG maybe I sound like a loser' but this comment has made my day!
@@Louisepentland you always look so beautiful even in pyjamas in your soft office. It's rare to see many realities on the internet these days but you've always been genuine.
I love this video. It makes me feel calm and comforted. Warm and fuzzies. I'm rewatching it the day after watching it because I wish I had a Louise to chat with IRL.
I thank you for all your weeklys louise ive watched you for many years, then i had my daughter and now we watch them together when shes having a bad day i put on a vlog and she just sits and chills, she likes watching pearl she always trys to hug her through the screen when she sees her 💜💜
The whole point of vlogs is to show how things are, you shouldn't hide things so insignificant thinking that pleases anyone. We all get messy sinks or a collection of things that havent found spaces yet. And i also think you have the nicest hair and ive always been so so jealous of how amazing it always looks.
I'm only 10 minutes in but I'm loving this already and you have no idea how much I needed this today. Sat crying for an hour about life then came on to see if there was anything to pick me up and knew straight away that a chill chat with Louise would do the trick. Thank you xx
Oh my gosh, one of the BEST things about you is you are so genuine which means that you do show everything about you and your life...and that does make it a bit risky but so wonderful to your millions of viewers. YOU be YOU always. You are THE BEST youtuber ever.
Going though a really rough patch right now, loosing my job and being kicked out of my home, you always give me inspiration that It can get better and I can achieve my goals, Thankyou 😊
I cannot believe how grown up Darcy is and Pearl is so cute !! I can't get over the fact she's starting to talk. Where has baby Pearl gone?! You must be so proud of your girls, Louise they are diamonds. I'm expecting my first baby in May. I'm having a little boy and seeing how beautiful your children are gets me excited about my own little one :) 🥰❤
I too had a very medium Christmas! Exactly as you explained but just two of us. Nice food, presents were fine, a lovely walk with the dog at a local park before watching Home Alone 1&2 and going to bed! To be honest I was so looking forward to putting the tree away and getting my lounge back! 😅🎄
I love your videos when you show the realness. My house is rarely ever clean because I have 3 kids. That's mom life. It's nice to see the realness, it makes me realize I'm not the only one who struggles with this. So many youtube moms seem so perfect, neat, and tidy. I try but let's be real. I work 40 hours a week, we have pets, and kids. I spend 1 one the 2 days I have off a week deep cleaning and by that night it's a mess again. Also we have a chocolate cocker spaniel named Snickers! Happy new year!!
Well done for speaking out at the start. I know most of us aren’t on yt but it’s easy to get constantly beaten down by colleagues or acquaintances. I remember once someone came to my flat and said that my wallpaper was horrible. So I changed it. I wish I didn’t, I loved that wallpaper and all it stood for. Basically trying to give less of a toss of what other people think. I won’t lie, I haven’t watched you in a while for no reason other than life got in the way - sorry! Your girls are still as amazing as ever and SO ARE YOU. Xx
I honestly applaud Louise for working and being such a great mum in my house we have two kids and everyone takes care of them I can’t image how hard it is with less people and more kiddies running around
Happy New Year! Dec 31st I baked my way into the new year, making loaves of Artisan bread. Jan 1st, had traditional family brunch, everyone brought a goodie. Very relaxing day off.
Most big RU-vidrs either film in a studio, have bouse keepers to keep ot all tidy and if they film in their real home they will hide all the mess before filming. They aren't real. Loiuse is real and I appreciate it.
This just cheered me up right from the get go, love you just chatting to us like you're on the phone to a friend! All the best to you and the family for 2020
Loved this vlog Louise 40 mins of loveliness, cant wait for all your 2020 goodness, you always make me feel like I want to be a better version of myself,thank you xx
That’s what I love about you and your videos. You show the real side of your life and the house. Having a show house is just so unrealistic and doesn’t seem or feel homey. I love how down to earth you are and how raw vlogs are xx
I really needed this cosy video today! Also, please try not to worry about what people think, the majority of us love you and think your a great mother, please don’t let those few unkind people bring you down!❤️😊
Yay what a lovely video, I am so pleased the weekly is back. I have missed it and I feel so comfortable and calm after watching this - thank you and happy new year!
Embrace the mess, the imperfections, the humanity of letting us see a glimpse of your everyday life. We enjoy your videos for your authenticity and relatability, I'm glad you don't want to let those nit picky comments get in the way of that.
Louise the problem is everyone thinks they’re a critic these days unfortunately hun but that’s their problem if they don’t like it they should move on. You just be you hun 💖
I don't even notice thibgs things like that in videos. I read co.ments of people nit picking and I'm like how did you even notice that? Why did you notice that? Or who do you think you are to critic a person and their life?
Randomly clicked On one of Louises videos while I declutter my bathroom cupboards and at the end when Louise says 2020 it’s gonna be a good one oh little did we know hey what was coming
I really enjoy all your videos, personally seeing things that are less than perfect, like a house that isn’t always immaculate, make me feel better about my less than perfect life! I find your videos really comforting, like having a friend round for a chat. Just a thought for your new found cooking love, how about trying out different recipes from books or the Internet and rating how they work for a family/how easy/quick/good for leftovers etc xx
Hi Louise, just wanted to wish you a happy new year! I'm so happy that you've decided to relax for your new year ❤ I have to say - my favorite vlogs from you are the first few weeks of vlogs before and after you birthed Pearl. For some reason i always go back to them to watch. I think the reason why I enjoy them so much is because youre so motivated during that time but still frustrated and "messy. You were genuinely you, new baby and messy house and keeping it all together. I find those blogs so inspiring. Honestly, I didn't enjoy the New Weekly vlogs as much because of that "sterile" aspect you've talked about. So, I'm so happy youre keeping it real ❤
I think the little things that people complain about just makes you a normal person!! Who has a spotless house? I know I don't 😂 it just makes you more relatable to know that you have a bit of mess like me! Haha ❤️
Loved spending the day with you. Beautiful pots and pans. If you place a hot pad holder, an oven mitt, between them, it will keep them from scratching each other. You have the most wonderful little girls! Thank you for sharing your time. ❤️
Watching the segment with you having your chat with Pearl was melting my heart because it feels like yesterday you were pregnant and having her!! And now she’s a little person!!!
Oh the little conversation with Pearl, too sweet! Plus cats and a laundry segment, what more could I want in a vlog?! I want to be better about cooking more so some cook with me videos would really help me stay inspired.
Really enjoyed this type of video, wish more people would keep it real and show the not completely perfect parts of their life, it's refreshing and makes me feel normal x happy new year xx
You are so patient with Pearly. As someone who works with children, it can be difficult going with their pace. But, you are doing a wonderful job. Hope you have a lovely day!!
I love the realness of your videos. The trolls who make comments about what you should be doing and telling you to tidy up need to find a new hobby! You are amazing and we're lucky you let us peek into your life xx
hey Louise, Im kit and im 17 and ive been watching your videos since mid 2013... I know CRAZY. i have loved watching your family grow over the years and somehow feel like im involved in it all lol. Recently i decided to create and make my own video thanks to your and the continuous inspiration that your have given me!! So i just wanted to comment and say a HUGE thank you for that!! Thank you so much!! ~kit .
Your a super successful hard working mom! Dont worry about what's on your fridge! Your too busy making sure you can fill the fridge and put food on the table. Ignore those comments and be you ❤ lovely to have you back, my laundry has been everywhere without a laundry segment to get me started 😅😅
My little love Olivia (11 months) LOVES to watch your videos whenever either of your girls are on, particularly Pearl! I love to pop your videos on up on our tv while I play on the floor with monkey and get other mummy bits done! Thank you for giving so much of yourself! I am proud of you making it a goal to care less about the negative Nancy’s! It really inspires me to try to do the same! xo Nicole
Yes laundry segment and house pottering! As so many do, I love longer vlogs to make my own chores bearable so this was perfect - also YES to our houses not looking like vloggers'!
My flat is always messy!! I think your vids are always great, I don’t even notice stuff or anything that hasn’t been put away don’t worry. Just go with it xxx your soo wonderful x
