Hi Lauren, it's 2024 lol - love your content!!
I noticed that. This year and last year went by fast 💨 so it's hard for me to keep up as well. 😊
2024 Girl 💖💖💖
Lol! thanks girl!!! 🤦♀️
A dear friend of mine owned a restaurant and she and her sister own beautiful cabins now, and she is the *best* at hospitality. Friendly, warm, outgoing, always getting a drink in your hand and food in front of you and fun conversation. She works hard while still being fully present. Truly a skill and gift! Us introverts appreciate this so we don't have to entertain. 😄 I've learned a lot from her. ❤
Anytime people show their humanity and kindness it moves me. This world has become so crazy and angry that I really appreciate when people reach how with any little kindness and I always let them know what it meant. I too have gone through a lot of loss and it took me a while to make it back to a good space. Those who reach out with kindness helped me find my way. Blessings to you and your family ❤
I lost my mom in 1986 and still think of her every day - not with sorrow but with fondness and love. It just takes time. Your home is lovely and the colors in your living room are spectacular.
Than you so much for being here!
Poor kitty! They’ve probably figured out how kind and loving you are and are trying to get themselves a new home ❤
Aww that's so sweet. They have the cutest faces! They won't let me get near them. We are going to try to feed them closer to the fence so they don't come near our cats, they just get so territorial .. but I just cant help myself but want all the cats
Hi Lauren, I am 63 years old. I traveled often with my kids. I always lived my life trying to make a difference in someone’s life every day even if it was in a small way. Now my kids are grown & married and I see them doing the same thing and it makes me so happy❤️
Lauren, your home is always so warm and inviting. I love the joy you find in just the simple, everyday tasks that a wife and mom does to make their home a peaceful place for their family. This fills my cup as well.🥰
We actually now LIVE in the path of totality for the eclipse here in AR. We bought a 50 acre farm and are building our dream home while living in an RV with 3 kids.🤪😆 My family is here visiting to see the eclipse with us.💜
As far as an act of kindness..our new neighbor (she actually owned the land that we bought) is a really kind widow. This past winter we got an extremely deep freeze and experienced temperatures we were not at all prepared for..and neither was our RV. Everything froze up. No water. Couldn’t keep it warm. Awful. She invited us (rather insisted😆🙊) we come stay with her til things thawed out. We had the best time. She now loves our family and we love her too. We essentially gained another family member through a trial and kindness. It’s been a beautiful thing for our family.🥹🫶🏻
Oh I love this!!! That is such a warm and loving story!
I love how talkative your chickens are!😂 soooo cute!
Love your day in a life. It gets me motivated to get going..
Lauren, I love your channel. I always feel like I am hanging out with my good friend. It's so awesome.❤😊
You're house is looking so much more like you, french country and yet trendy, unique and yet homey. It's really taking on a special look! Love your style! You're special. 😊
Thank you!!
I worked in my greenhouse on Saturday. We are getting ready to start planting. I live in Utah so we really can’t plant for about another month. You are so inspiring! My prayers be sent up ♥️ for you.
Hi Lauren, when I’m overwhelmed or stressed, I immediately check to see if you have any uploads. Your channel is my ‘ Go-To’. I could binge watch you all day. I especially love how you talk to your chickens! Can’t wait until your next video!!!
Yay! Thank you! I am so happy you are here!
same
Lavender colors are so soothing! My entire bedroom walls are a gorgeous lavender. It is a completely blissful color when it has muted undertones. Love lavender!💜
Thank you!!!
I used to babysit when I was a teenager. My goal was to always make sure the kids were happy, fed, in bed and the house was clean. Even 16 year old me cleaned well enough that when I was a summer babysitter, they paid me extra to clean their house. And then later when their kids were older I got a job just cleaning the house. Lol
Your house is looking so pretty. I love having the formal dining table back.
I love that!
I actually love deep rose and mauvey pink tones, especially with cherry or mahogany furniture. Color choice is so personal. Everyone should choose colors that make them feel good.
I enjoy watching your channel.
Purple is a celestial color. You need for purple may have something to do with healing your grief around your mom. Just soak it in. You need it.
That makes a lot of sense! I used to really not like purple but I have been so drawn to it! Thank you
Hi Lauren. You asked about the hospitality experience we never forgot. Back in the 90's my husband and I used to stay at a hotel in Clearwater Beach Florida, (unfortunately long gone now) once a year, for about 5 years. After the first time we were there, the pool bartender who had a great personality, not only welcomed us back, but remembered our names and what we liked to drink at the pool. He would take the time to ask us about what was new, and really made us feel like we were back to a second home. We never forgot him! I do love pink, LOL! But also, the blues and greens you love. The blue hydrangeas look great! 😊
Wow! That is amazing! You must be some amazing people!!
Your mom will always be caring and helping u
That was so sweet when kissed your mom’s urn❤️ I absolutely love your channel! It gives me so much comfort and inspiration. I lost my grandmother and father in 2022. You’re the best! 🙂
Thank you for being here!
I agree with you the dinning room furniture just makes your home. Love the way your living room looks.
Always look forward to all the content Lauren puts out.
I'm in the SE part of Michigan so I will be able to go out with my son. We bought the glasses to watch the eclipse safely. My husband bought extras for some of his coworkers if they didn't have them. I'm hoping that the weather holds out for us. It so nice to hear of kind acts by others. I lost my mother n law 10 years ago and the 3 years later almost to the day I lost my mother. Both passed in December (both have birthdays in December) just days apart and from the same disease. My kids are no longer fans of Christmas time because of this. They are older (21 &17) but grandmas are the best. It's still heart breaking to not have my mom around but we celebrate and make things she loved. ❤
I totally agree. My mom was the only grandmother my kids had in their life. My husbands family has not been in our children's lives for over 8 years. We just have very different values. My mom was like 5 grandmas in 1 and the kids loved her so much. It will never be the same without her.
I'm the office manager for a high-end dental practice. I say high-end because of the quality of service and we always great each patient that walks through the door, by their name. Even the new patients. We greet them by saying, "You must be... so nice to meet you!" Seeing a dentist is stressful enough. If we can make someone feel welcomed, it eases their minds.
That is so sweet! I love that!
In regards to adding to their hospitality experience: Birthday cards or congratulatory cards ready to greet them when they arrive or at their table, and something on the house like a dessert if it’s their bday
Your house looks so much better with some color.
Lauren, I love the Day in the Life Videos, especially when there is Decorating your Beautiful Home is included 🤗. That French Country Style is SO STUNNING!! And I LOVE the Pops of Purple 💜. The Lilacs is so French Country!! I'm so glad you are feeling more Peaceful in your New Home! You are doing a TERRIFIC job!! ☺️😊😀. Happy Sunday! 🌞☕
Thank you so much!!!
I graduated from a small town and every early out there was this Chinese place that was kind of our hang out spot but for sure our favorite Chinese spot! For years after myself, husband and kiddos would go there often until we moved. It had been over a year before we got there again and once we sat down they came over to our table and handed me my sunglasses and a picture of my son we had left their the last time we visited. That was over 10 years ago now but still a favorite thought that pops up from time to time!
That's wild!!! What an amazing story!
My mom's birthday was the 6th of April i lost her 16 years ago i miss her every day. She was and is my best friend.❤
Today we celebrated my mother-in-laws 90th birthday! ❤. I live in Northern Virginia so I’m hoping to see some of the eclipse. I have my glasses ready! 😎. I love all your content, Lauren. I always feel so relaxed after watching. Thank you!
Thank you and happy birthday to your MIL!
The best hospitality I can remember, and we don't get out that much, granted, but they gave us a package of Lindt dark chocolates when they found out we were staying for our honeymoon. I still think of that every time I buy those.
I love the hints of purple, it looks so beautiful with all the greens in leaves and foliage, and the soft furnishings!
You are a beautiful woman, Lauren and you do such good things for yourself and your family and friends.
You're a blessing❤
Thank you so much!
❤️
Hi Lauren, Really good video, you did an excellent job of cleaning the home. I love your house and garden, you've got a beautiful, magnificent place and I get your very house pround, me too, I love a clean, fresh smelling place. I miss not having a garden, used to when lived with my mum and dad, always in the garden working. I love pop corn, always get it at cinema, has to be medium sweet for me. Me too, hate the colour pink, give me blue or black or red any day. I look forward as always Lauren to your next video. Oh when I lived with my family and had that garden was always getting wild cats in our garden, my mum (god rest her soul - RIP), never could put whiskers out for our cat Mindy as others would come in, used to always put the food in doors, our cat eventually Lauren stayed in doors. Have a lovely day 🙏✋🐦🐓☺🐔🐈🐱.
Purple tones are my go to for spring. My whole bathroom, living room and bed are all shades of lavender and hints of light purple.
I do the same thing with my mom’s ashes. My friends come over and always find her and give her a smooch too. It has always been my thing to place her where she can keep an eye on me, I need watching even at 70!
Umm forgive me but is this really healthy? I guess everyone copes with grief and loss in their own way. I think our parents raise us to the best of their ability and it’s up to us to continue on in the world being a living testament to the people they were. My own parents are in a shared grave a continent away but forever in my heart and mind.🦘🇦🇺
@@kayemcmullen I don’t know if it’s healthy or not according to doctors and such. I’ve had her ashes for over 20 years and I’m thinking I’m doing pretty well for myself. Do I miss her and my dad, yes, but I’m not maudlin about their passing. They’re gone and I’ve moved on with my life after taking care of them both for three years. My mom was a great kidder and so was my dad. Mom didn’t want to be buried right away, her words, so I can keep an eye on you and dad said he’d lived with her long enough and didn’t want her hanging out with him. Hence I have her ashes and don’t care what people think, my friends think it’s great and I’m not bothered either way. I could bury her tomorrow, so? They aren’t her, they’re just her ashes. 🤷🏼
@@NordicGirl2 you’re right - I owe you an apology absolutely none of my business. I wish you only happy days🦘🇦🇺
@@kayemcmullen You don’t owe me an apology, it’s not a big thing. I appreciate that not everyone has the same feelings about death as I do. My family and friends are a bit strange and do take a lot of getting used to. 😊
I love this 💕 She is a constant reminder of where I come from and I am so proud to be her daughter even after she's gone. I will probably kiss my moms urn until I am 70 too.. I talk to her all the time. I always hear her saying "It's all going to be ok baby girl, we will get through it together" and I instantly feel better!
I love your style, I think I’m going to decorate my Airbnb in Lauren style 🤩
Yayyy! Id love to see it!
Lets make this eve a commitment no looking back.
Just a smile 😊and a warm meaningful welcome does it everytime for me when visiting anywhere. I love your main sitting room with the white and a pop of blue just so lovely. So glad you feel more settled. ❤ thank you for sharing, sending love to your family from Rosie O from a windy Devon, England 🏴 x
Thank you!
Here in this part of New Jersey we will get about 90% of the eclipse. We had a small earthquake nothing like what you get in California. It was just very unusual. My house shook for about 15 seconds, no damage. I’m always amazed at how much you get done in a day. I raised 4 boys and a girl. There was always so much laundry and cleaning. I have my husbands ashes in a blue container too. Love watching your videos
I taught all of my children to do the laundry 🧺🧺🧺🧺 themselves! They each have a laundry bag that was identifiable by there favorite color. Once they had a full bag they knew to pull it down stairs to the laundry 🧺 room! The older ones help the younger ones the older kids through the laundry bags over the banister . They become very capable and very mature while they grew up!
There is sooo much laundry!
I need to do this!
Lavender is snoothing ,
They say in a home is good mojo ,
I love it thru out mine
Awwww your mother
She will always be with you ❤️
May her memory be eternal
Your home looks so beautiful
You look so beautiful for work
I love what you do
That poem is sweet , beautiful
Happy Sunday
Thank you!!!
Love the blue and white home decor. God bless you for being so kind especially to animals.
Perfect amount of blue! Love the way it looks!
Thank you! 😊
House is looking AWESOME ❤❤
Thank you!!
I think hospitality is all about learning people as individuals and doing something that resonates with them individually. So for example, I had some hard ass professors during my English program in college. I was such an introvert, especially in the workshops where we had to read our stories aloud that were at times deeply personal. But I had a professor that changed my life. He told me that even flannery O’Connor wouldn’t read her work aloud in school and that if we couldn’t handle it, that we didn’t have to. He also would print out our stories and write us letters by hand or with a typewriter (old school). His letters were so uplifting and motivating. He understood us introverts and how terrifying it is to come to class every day and read our personal stories aloud. He just took time to get to know us.
I love that. I am an extroverted introvert. At work my team always says I should say hi to our guests because I am the GM and it feels sooo uncomfortable for me. It makes me feel like I am inserting myself into their experience because of my job title when I am really just so excited to have them with us and I know they are having the best experience. I am shy for sure!
@@LaurenNicholsen I completely understand that! I work as a librarian in a college library and I have come a long way but am still introverted. I really make it a point to observe the students we assist and get to know them in a way that is comfortable for them. We have some regulars in the library that really don’t want to open up much, and I find that that’s okay. Making someone feel a sense of belonging is also recognizing that there are people that sometimes just want to be left alone. At the same time, we have some students that love to talk all about their classes and personal lives, and I’m happy to be someone they can talk to. Our directors always want us to greet every student that walks into our space. I’m happy to do that but definitely greet different students in different ways. Some of our regular students aren’t big talkers and I will just give them a simple wave and a smile. I’ve been thinking about sense of belonging and how this looks different for everyone.
You channel is my fave and so inspiring to me! I don't know if I've ever commented on a video yet, but just wanted you to know, I look forward to every upload! :) On the hospitality topic, years ago, my husband and I got stranded in Santa Fe, NM due to our car breaking down on a cross-country move and it was super stressful. We ended up at a Hyatt hotel, and there were two ladies who worked there who were so kind and empathetic to our situation. We felt like they were like nice moms who felt bad for us poor kids, stranded there for a week. Haha. They drove us places in the shuttle, and just generally made us feel like they truly cared about us and our situation. It was so touching, and we really appreciated it!
I love stories like this. I have had moments in life like this and I never forgot! Thank God for people like this.
@@LaurenNicholsen I agree! It made a bad week a lot nicer! That same week we had a rental car guy go out of his way to help us, and those things together kind of reminded us there are nice people everywhere!
I buy all my popcorn from the Amish. I also buy all my seasonings, flours, sugars and cacao powder and jams . They are the best ones. We have some communities here in Tennessee but we visit Ohio quite often and they have the largest community there in Berlin, Holmes county . It is the most beautiful place I have seen and is gorgeous in the fall.
I am so excited to try it!!
You have a very lovely home Lauren! I’m a French Country Girl, and have found some beautiful things when I go to my favorite thrift shops and Goodwills
I love the blue so much. It looks so good! You found some amazing things at the antique shop. Hugs.
I dont know if its the weather or your dining room table but you sound so much happier. Nice to hear and more enjoyable to watch 😊
Thank you!
HAPPY SUNDAY Lauren, family, fur babies and feathered friends. Lauren, you may have to go online and order some type of repellant to spray to keep the other cat's from your yard. I hope you moved the cat food inside. Yes, we will be able to see it in The Burgh. YOUR HOME IS ABSOLUTELY ALLURING. Those words ring so very true Lauren. Your ministry begins at home. STTB
Thank you so so much!!!
I lost my mom in 2022. So sorry for your loss, Lauren ❤🩹
I totally relate about the dining room table( dining room)…..completes the home😊(MHO)
Im happy you have it back with you. Ive missed your dining table!!
Yay! Thank you!
Love your style and videos ❤️
I love your home you have exquisite taste in home decor I’m a new subscriber and your voice is very calming x
I was not expecting you to say 2023, i figured it was a typo or something. It's ok, we all forget sometimes. I'm really thinking about getting my mom a roborock. It really is nice.
Lol I was rushing!
Everything and you are looking beautiful Lauren.......thanks for sharing!
Was wondering if anyone else caught that “2023” Lol!! . I thought CZcams sent me back to her 2023 videos. lol!! Love you Lauren!! Best videos ever!! ❤❤ your so pretty 😍
I inspire to be like you 😊
Thank you to my girl Amy June!!! She texted me last night, I literally posted this and then had a play day with the kids!
Beautiful home!
You are a blessing to all !
Thank you! You too!
I too don’t like pink. I always go greens blues whites and wicker looks cute. I love your blue in your house it’s for sure your jam. ❤❤❤❤❤
Thank you! 🤗
The absolute best hospitality I've had was April 2022 when we went to Oahu and stayed at the Trump Hotel. THE ABSOLUTE best hospitality. 5 star +. Concierge was amazing setting up a rental car, the best Luau, housekeeping was amazing, room service was amazing, they all attended to our every need immediately. Provided us as much bottled water as we needed. Every employee there were so kind and helpful. They even sent us deserts, champagne, and a beautiful Hawaiian floral bouquet for our anniversary. 10 days of watching beautiful sunsets from our requested upper floor suite. Never will forget that stay.
That sounds magical! I will have to look into that!!
Purple is my favorite color. I also like pinks with greenery mixed in. The only color I never do is yellow.
You would fit right in withy family, everyone 😍😍😍😍😍😍😍 loves purple 💜🙏🏻🕊️✨
Love every single video of yours!❤ PS you...you make me feel so welcomed here! So much inspiration and motivation for me! Also I lost my dear dear mother 4 years ago, and I keep her with me, with her jewelry, scarves, and precious ashes. Love to all daughters and mother's!❤❤
Thank you!!!!
I love pink ❤. I have our bedroom white and pink. My husband never complains. My sister is like you though. She prefers blues, greens, neutrals, and purples.
Love your home its so nice i always say the homes in the USA are so much better love them
Yay so nice to see color in home decor. The blue touches are gorgeous. 💙🤍 In this crazy world we live in, kindness goes along way these days.
Hi Lauren, I paused this videos to answer your question about Great hospitality. When we went to a winery this past year, it was a wine trail with different wineries along the trail, I understand that selling is on top their lists but the places impressed us the most was the staff that knew about their products and in a relaxed atmosphere is where we bought the most wines and products. I can remember we stopped at one winery it was a beautiful barn and they had retail things as you come in, a staff persons asked if we wanted a tasting we said not right now and she replied that is what we are here for so as a result we walked out. We go to high end resorts and pay a pretty penny but I expect the service, know our name treat us like we are the most important people that came through the door, have the concierge sit down with us and kind of plan our trip if we’re staying for a few days. I know so much about how to make people feel important, in my career I was one of the top sales people because I made everyone feel so important and valued.
I love this! Thank you for sharing!
I really do love when people remember my name, it does make me feel special.
Sounds hospitable
I lost my mom on Mother’s Day, 2022, I miss her every second. Then I lost my little dog a month later. It was a double whammy for me. OK enough of that, I actually accent my living room in purple I’ve had it that for a few years now, I’m sure someone would think you need to change it but I’m not tired of it yet. Have to say blue is my favorite color always has been. I don’t mind pink, it’s my daughters favorite color.
Hi from Southern Oregon.....My Gramma in law recently passed away and we went to Yuba City, for the funeral. Several of us stayed in a VRBO for a few days. My husband and I were the first ones there and we were really touched to see a nice flower arrangement with along with a big gift basket filled with things for adults as well as the kids that would be staying. It had snacks, wine and age appropriate color books and things like that to keep the kids busy. What stood out to me was the very nice sympathy card from the owners.
I also think that feeling welcome to a place of business is very nice- to be greeted however I think that, for me, I don't love to be overwhelmed by too much. We were just at restaurant where several staff were asking if we were okay and if we needed anything. I do appreciate that but it was wayyyy too often as we were trying to eat.
Oh the popcorn. I can't say that I have tried that kind myself but having a big family, we sent 'family gifts' to each family for Christmas which was a microwave popcorn bowl along with popcorn and toppings- strait from Amazon. To my sister, I chose the Amish popcorn. I will have to ask how she liked it- it had a ton of great reviews.
I am kinda new to your channel and lovin it!
What a great video!!!
I’m glad you are getting the rhythm with your house. It is looking more and more like your style. I love your aesthetic.
I’m in Houston ,Texas so we will be able to see it 😊.
Our weekend is relaxing, kids had soccer games yesterday . Today was church , meal prepping for the week and then dinner at a restaurant for my hubbys birthday 🥳.
Great video!!
Happy Birthday to him!!! Sounds like a perfect weekend!
Hello from Germany

Yay! We got this!
I have a comfrt hoodie! It’s like a big hug! Love it.
I’m new to the channel and enjoying your videos. I like the honesty that you describe your day to day. Love your decorations. An experience of hospitality that I will never forget was when we went to celebrate our anniversary weekend in Sarasota, Florida and the hotel have a beautiful tray with chocolate strawberries and champagne for us with a nice card. It was a really beautiful surprise. ❤
Welcome to my channel! I am so happy you are here!

Beautiful home!
Hey from Ohio! We absolutely were able to see the eclipse! It was a fun couple hours watching the moon's progression over the sun. My store is in Columbus, right around the corner from Ohio State. We got most of it, but a couple towns slightly northwest of Columbus were in the path of totality, as were many of our western stores in the Cleveland area. You always decorate in such creative and beautiful ways. Just love to see what you'll do next!
When my father was ill a year ago and my mom was staying at the hotel next to the hospial to be close to him. The owner put my mom's name in her cell and the hotel and gave us her cell phone) said if you come back here, text me, I will put you up in my hotel (she owned it) and make sure you are taken care of. She said that means if you need a break from the hospital, I will give you a room to take a nap in it. She has always checked in on my parents (til this day) to making sure that they are alright. She told the other co-owner of the hotel make sure she is taken care of. I felt so much safer knowing that my parents are taken care of, it was a surprised admit to the hospital. I joined them, it is so true that you never know what someone is going through. That simple kindness and calls showed how much she cares as a person. It is important to her that her employees do the same she said. She is a part of our family.
That is incredible. I love when people take the care and consideration of others serious.
Miraval is magical. Love it there! Your decor evolution is just beautiful! We had a 95% solar eclipse today in Missouri. 7 years ago we had 100%, which was so cool!
I can't wait to watch❤️
LOVE the purple!
Good Day! 🌻
Yea 🙌🙌 you're back! Sooooo glad to see you're going back to your french country it's so you and I'm really glad dining room table is back!
Beautiful
You could try using one of the emergency horns people use like on boats. Just make sure your cats are inside. Might work.
That could work!
It’s easy to be kind to other kind people, but a struggle to be as kind to those who are unkind.
No matter what, your videos are one of the best!❤️
Hi Lauren, your decor is stunning. So fresh and welcoming. Have a wonderful evening. ❤
Lanterns look good there. Just the right color
I’ll be working tomorrow during the eclipse. I’m hoping to see a bit of it. I live in Pa. And we had an earthquake on Friday. Losing parents is devastating. I list my dad first over 20 years ago. My mom will be gone 4 years in November. I pray for you for peace.
Thank you!!
Hi Lauren, I m so happy you are feeling better about your home and your dining room table is back in your life. I agree I'm not a pink person as far as decor in my home. Even at Easter I use my green, blue, yellow white and lavender. I have a lot of gray in my home so I add a lot of blues, white, and yellow and green during spring and summer. You look so great and glowing again.
Thank you!!
