What kind of pregnancy content would you like to see from me? :)
It would be cool to see a video on your journey to becoming pregnant. Timing, two week wait, first symptoms and such! Any steps you took to increase your chances. :) Thanks!
Anything haha! Did you do any planning to conceive? We’ve been trying but no luck 😞
As a regular stoner how did you deal with this once becoming pregnant?
Anything nursery prep related, I love seeing your decorating style! Also, to see how you prepare for the baby. 🥰
@@erindonnelly7905 I consumed most days until I tested positive 😊 I will resume once baby is born!
Karissa, i used to watch you when you were saturday nights alrite and i just started watching you again and I wanna say i am very happy to see you and glen so happy and growing your family. I wish you and your family nothing but the best ❤️❤️
Thanks for clicking back on Melani! Hope you’ve been well 💓
Ok when you said “it’s better than blindly ordering” and were referring to purchasing blinds I killed myself laughing. An absolutely perfect pun that I couldn’t let go unnoticed.
That backyard looks to die for!! Obsessed with all the trees! Congrats on the new house. And good for you for advocating for yourself!!
Thank you!! 🥰💕
This really helps and opens my eyes to what to expect when renovating/buying. If you could do a seperate video in your spare time, about your experience buying and paying for little things when your settled in. Like the toilet paper holders. Absolutely crazy how expensive it is!
Hey Karissa, as someone who lives in the ridiculous housing market of BC, I feel the need to congratulate you guys on such a huge accomplishment!!! Wish nothing but happiness and love for you, Glen and baby! 🧡
Thank you Taylor!!! We are so excited and grateful 🙏🏼💓🥰
For the blinds, have you thought of putting a rod with a, almost veil fabric? So you’d have curtains over the blinds. It would make them look paler and maybe bother you less? Hope you find another solution instead of replacing them. It’s so damn expensive😆
It’s ok to be frustrated about the blinds as it’s something you are invested in. 💘 hope you get a good resolution for them xx
Karissa you're gonna be such a cool mommy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thanks Tonya 🥰💗 I am so excited it gives me butterflies
Right?!
Oh I hear you with all of this! We did big renovations on our home and moved into our garage while I was pregnant. We moved back into our home at 37weeks 😅 it was hard at times but I'm glad we were still living on site because there were many times I was chasing builders as work was not what was discussed. I had things in writing and I'm glad I did so I could chae them up and prove they were wrong. I couldn't imagine building as the work we did was plenty. It makes us want to do as much diy as we can
The backyard looks so beautiful! Can't wait to hear about your plans for your future veggie patch
Oh, Karissa! Your story about building with a developer! My husband and I built a brand new house with a developer and just moved in last November. We had so many instances of the story you shared. My heart goes out to you and Glen. Not the kind of stress you need during your pregnancy. Praying it all works out and no more issues!🤞💗
Thanks for bringing us along on your journey! 😊
Your energy just makes me so happy! You're going to be such a cool mom cant wait to follow along!
Give it up for the the stamps 🙌 Thanks for sharing this home journey with us!
Karissa, this has been fun to watch. I’m sorry you’ve had so many dramas with the house, but make sure you and Glen enjoy it all. Jo xx
I'll be waiting for the bump videos! I'm happy for you guys!
Your home and backyard looks so lovely! Great job Karissa 💫. I love your Moss piece - is so unique and awesome!🌱🌴💚
My Sunday is Made!!! Your videos give me life and you are just glowing. Would love to see your pregnancy experience and maybe some challenges or fears you might be facing with it all? Love you
Love the house videos and look forward to seeing more.
was so fun to watch this! loved every minute! so wonderful to watch your growth from aus to canada - esp from the smaller city flat to this huge space 🥰 excited to keep following you on your journey!
We only got a small glimpse of the primary bath but DANG. Looks amazing! I love the windows around the mirror. Nice and bright !!
Thanks for sharing this! It’s so exciting!!
That blue vanity is incredible! Loved seeing the 2 moving vlogs. You are absolutely glowing. My dog was going nuts when Lola was squeaking her toy 😂 x
Your new home looks great,love the garden space outside.keep us updated 💚🌻😚
I'm loving that you've been active on CZcams. I love your vlogs.
Your home looks amazing, as do you ♥️. Congratulations on your new adventures.
Omg thank you so much for that advise!! My husband and I will be building in the near future so this has been helpful!!
That art piece is absolutely STUNNING!
I can’t wait for your pregnancy videos! I’ve been watching you since a few years ago and I love how down to earth you are! :) Saludos desde Mexico
Absolutely love videos like this
Ahhhh!!!! I'm always so excited to see new videos from you and hear about how your life is going. As always I'm sending love you and your family's way and wishing you all the very best. The new home looks gorgeous and congrats on your pregnancy and bump growth. So exciting!! 🥰
Thank you so much Myla! Lots of love
I love this - it's so fun hanging out with you like that💞
That moss wall art is stunning.
Thanks for sharing your journey your backyard is beautiful :)
😂😂😂 "I'm dead serious I don't want to see your shit" SENT MEEEEE currently pregnant and I feel this with every ounce of my being!
I just wanted to say that I absolutely love the vibes of your videos! Idk if thatll make sense, but I really struggle to sit through even short videos because I just find myself getting distracted so easily, but your tone never fails to kee me engaged to the end of even half hour long videos! Much love xx
Thanks so much Lauren! I appreciate the kind comment :)
I love that wall piece so much 💚🌱
I love all life chit chats, vlog style! i watch basically all videos you upload 😇 x
i’ve been following you for 10 years and can not wait to watch you become a mommy 🥲
So happy for you guys and your home looks amazing!
Thanks Nikola! :)
The house is gorgeous!!
Congrats! Your house is stunning and love the landscaping :)
I looove the vanity colour!!!
We have a new house too, but they had unfortunately already installed the towel holders/paper towel holders so we have the awful chrome ones everywhere lol. I want to change them out but you’re so right, they are really expensive!
Also I remember the struggle of blinds. We couldn’t afford to get them installed so we went window by window and now have blinds I don’t like in our bedroom because of course we got those first
That armchair looks so perfect for nursing in! I’m a big crossed leg sitter and chairs like this were absolutely amazing for me when we started our breastfeeding journey hopefully it works well for you and baby too!
You can also try Wayfair for the black toilet paper holder too. I recently bought some cabinet handles (polished Chrome) because I wanted to change out my nickle ones around the house and the quality is good. They have a good variety and shipping to Canada didn’t take long either
Hi! I’m feeling like I want to get extensions again after watching this video!
Also, most people told me about white chairs, couches and walls when i was pregnant, and we have had our furniture for over five years, no problem! You teach your kids and surprise! They learn! Love the chair, though from one mom to the other, you might want to put some soft foam covers on the corners eventually for a little! ;-)
LOL Thank you!! Yes, that's likely a good call re: the corners :P
Was just going to say, I’d love to hear your pregnancy experience so far! I’m 16 weeks with baby #2 and I’m always curious to hear about other women’s experiences :)
Your house is so beautiful!! So happy for you
Thanks Megan!! We’re very excited ☺️ starting to feel like home
The black handles looks great, now I want to change mine handles lol
Omg yes, blinds are so expensive!!! I can't wait for the pregnancy videos!!!
Love your new home, so happy for you! The housing crisis in Canada is absolutely wild...my fiancé and I won't be able to buy for a very long time unfortunately. Keep the updates coming! :)
Thank you! It's absolutely brutal hey.Wishing you guys luck on your journey- I hope the right place comes along
Wonderful vlog Karissa, so happy for you. Why don’t you spray paint the bathroom accessories for now.? You would do a fantastic job on them xxx
Blind tip: Home Depot!
We order blinds for two of our very oddly shaped large windows and it was under $200. We got to pick which style and they cut to proper size. Watch for a sale to come up.
And it’s sooooo easy to install your self your just drilling holes. I would never pay $7000 for blinds 💀
I know you're in Canada...I live in Florida, and there's a place called Habitat for Humanity, and they sell all of the things that you could need for a home, for super cheap... the items are all donated from home builders, that have left over items... check your city to see if something like that exists.... congrats on the new place!
Haha your right don't drip blood on the floor 😂x I did that on my new carpet and didn't realize!! Now it's stained 🤣😣
I have black ones from amazon and they are great !!!
Here I am again about the blinds haha 😂 I totally feel your pain! It honestly doesn't look bad at all but I hear you.
The frustrating part is that as a professional blind company it's kinda their responsibility to explain ALL of that information to you. They are the experts not you, I would have also been on the same page as you and I'm so sure lots of customers would have the same experience. Disappointing!
Your house looks great though...coming along beautifully.
xx
If you’re willing to share, I would love to just here your experience! ❤️❤️❤️
I can't wait for pregnancy vlogs/updates 😄 very exciting watching your moving vlogs. I'll be moving next month finally 😁😅. Love you and love your videos ❤❤
Good luck with your move Colleen!! Thanks so much for the comment 💗🥰
@@KarissaPukas thank you 😁 hope you are doing well 😊 love seeing your baby bump in Instagram stories❤
Karissa congrats on the new home! Woo 🍾 A beautiful new chapter to embark ☺️ Also don't leave Miss Lola unattended in the backyard. Any predator animal can easily jump a 5ft fence and harm her. Can't wait to see her with the baby 🥺 Xx
Absolutely! She's only out there with supervision :) My firstborn baby!! :P
Love your videos! I don’t miss the turtle roll out of bed at 30+ weeks 😂 didn’t get to experience the full extent of it all though as my first and only was over 4 weeks early (he was fine like over 9lbs even though he was early) 😊
Thanks! LOL right!! Such a mission to get up 😆 wow 4 weeks early! Probably a good thing if he was 9 pounds LOL! 💗
❤️❤️
I live in Winnipeg and my friend has been building outside the city and her and her husbands experience has been an absolute nightmare!!! I cant believe the amount of crap and miscommunication they've been though with the builder
Same thing happened to me with blinds once and I cried (and can’t even blame being pregnant!) I did get used to them and kept them for years. You might learn to love them ?! 🤷🏻♀️😬😬 🤞🏻
Why did I think you bought on the island!? Lol house looks beautiful!! 🙌
We looked for about a year over there! Decided to stay local :)
ikea has a very simple black toilett paper holder :)
Where did you get your plant stand?
Love the new home♥️
Love your crocodile rock t shirt !! Xx
Thanks! Me too 🥰
💖💖💖💖
Omg I moved after I had my second daughter . Like the day after 😂😭😭luckily my mom moved all my stuff in the house with her bf 😭😭💗
Love the vlog 😍 could you please tag where you got your privacy screen from? In desperate need of something similar rn!
You can find them at home hardware stores! Like Home Depot, or Canadian Tire, maybe even amazon :)
I'm about to start building a house... I'm a little nervous for the inevitable battles to come
The bathroom, those clear bins!! Can you please tell me where you got those;
Homesense :)
I’m currently 39+2 weeks pregnant and I’ve been having cankles since week 26, progressively getting worse. It’s sooooo annoying. The only footwear I can wear is my Ugg house slippers op my Birkenstock Madrid slides. Everything else is impossible 😭
Hello There!
My family is in the window and door industry and we get everything in writing always. If it’s not on the contract or otherwise written, it didn’t happen.
Could you pop some pretty white sheers over the blinds for now? ☺️
Matte black spray paint for the toilet paper holder
Thanks! But we hate the oldschool shape, not just the colour :P We've since ordered modern, minimalistic ones
Are there Menards in Canada? That is where we bought a lot of home reno things a few years ago and they had pretty good prices but not sure if they are only in the states.
I haven't heard of them! I'll take a look :)
Hey Karissa, would you please share where you got your transparent drawer bins for the bathroom? they look so smart and efficient! Thank you :)
I always check homesense or winners! :)
@@KarissaPukas thank you so much!!!
Maybe you could spray paint the tp holder?
We really dislike the oldschool shape as well :P Thanks tho, we've since ordered / resolved :)
Do you know the brand / color of the stone in your backyard / walkout area? I am obsessed!
I don't! I'm sorry
I thought you were going to say a couple hundred for blinds!! I am shell shocked!! Truly scared to become a homeowner lol
RIGHT! And that's for a basic set up >.< You could easily go upwards of 12-15k if you got motorized, or better fabrics etc. INSANITY!
I am in Edmonton, Alberta. We also recently purchased our first home. I too am shocked about how much things cost and can relate heavily.
Nuts isn't it!! My goodness. Hope you're enjoying settling in though!
I’m considering purchasing in a development where you can pick from a certain type of model home and customize and I was wondering how stressful that process has been for you. I have a lot of health problems and I feel like it’s hard aka impossible to find a pre-existing house that suits my needs but I also know the stress of building from “scratch” might be too much for me. I was hoping this would be a good middle ground. Do you feel like you paid way more for materials because of COVID?
If you get in early enough, it's pretty good! But with that said, that's where our issues came in- because they have a 'spec' build that they usually do and when you start to make changes, they are not used to making those changes happen. Our project manager often had no idea about what was in our contract because it wasn't his 'usual' build. it was a lot of back and forth with multiple parties confirming things & reminding them. If you have everything in writing and are patient chasing up with people for a few months, it's great- but it will be a little more stressful than just buying the spec model.
30:45 I had something like that at my work. It looked great, but smelled a bit funny the first few weeks. You didn't have that?
It just smells a little earthy :) We don't mind! After the first few days it was gone
Your house looks beautiful, and I always love your vlogs! Also, I would just like to say that I spit my tea out at your shower comment. Petition for all removable-head showers will now be known as "masturbating showers" 😂 Self-love showers are a thing for sure. IYKYK 😅 You're gonna be a wonderful, hilarious mom!
😂💕🙏🏼
Great video Karissa you have such a cute 🐕 to oh 2 dogs I have 3 you live in such a nice place I hope to go back to Canada someday last time I was in Canada was back in 2009 in my home Town of Edmonton that is a lot of stuff to move out and rearrange 600 dollars that's money 💰💵 I don't have lol congrats on the baby coming your way is it a boy or a girl?
Thank you! We don’t know the baby’s sex - want it to be a surprise 🥰💕
@@KarissaPukas Oh ok 🆒👍
Hopefully there's ac in the new place? How are you guys doing with all the wildfires nearby?
Yes thank goodness- central air! So grateful. It wasn’t keeping up with the 45° days tho LOL the house was perpetually 29° inside. Can’t believe it got that hot.
We’re ok with the fires at the moment but damn it’s scary. We have a go bag packed and it will prob be Smokey all summer 😣 fingers crossed it will be ok. 💕
@@KarissaPukas so jelly that you guys have ac! We want to install central so badly but it's always a battle with the strata (you know how it is!). We're literally biting our nails watching the fires. I so so hope that you will never have to use that go bag and that you all stay safe!
BTW, can't wait to see pregnancy vids and future mama content! My little girl is turning 1 this month and and having content from real, down to earth people this past year really got me through the hard times! So many fun memories ahead for you all, I am over the moon ❤️.
@@l_7376 OH nooooo I totally feel you. Hope you guys can get it sorted- strata is the worst lol. Thanks for the comment- I can't wait to share more pregnancy related stuff. I LOVE that so many of you are on a similar journey & that I have so many mama's in this community that I can ask for advice from. Feeling lucky :)
DIY paint them black :)
What’s a new house without frustration, excitement and exhaustion? 😅
Girl spray paint them matte black!!
We hate the shape of them too, so old fashioned :P We already exchanged/ repurchased for something more modern/ minimal :)
Hello 🌸
How much was rent on the townhouse?
22:27 so when you told them you agreed on the price and the job (in writing), how to did they respond? Did they agree or did they try to come up with all the excuses and "small print" bs?
They just tried to go in circles with the other people involved- like oh, we'll have to confirm with the developer, and the developer had to confirm with the person who did contracts etc etc it was a giant fuck around of nobody 'knowing' what was going on lol. I DID THOUGH :P
@@KarissaPukas good for you! I'm usually too easily intimidated to go into those discussions. I should be more like you 🤗
👍❤️✌️🤟
Why don’t you spray paint the silver hardware black?
The shape is too old school 🤭💕
4:40 lol, "complete shit" quality for toilet paper holders. How ironic 😂
