    How I Make Mashed Potatoes 🥔🥔🥔
    Boil water, add peeled and chopped potatoes and bay leaves. Boil till potatoes are falling apart. Take out the leaves and drain the water. Add a generous amount of butter, and mash the potatoes with butter. Add hot milk and mash till it looks perfect. I add salt after I drain the water but you can add it while potatoes are boiling. Enjoy! 😋

    I loved the chaos of this video, honestly. 😂 relatable and authentic, plus quite funny hahaha. The apology to the downstairs neighbors. 😂

    You are inspiring in many ways. My wife and I raise our kids on a budget with simple housing, basic furniture, and home cooked meals from scratch. I kind of feel like we're the only ones doing that sometimes. We just do what we can afford and are happy with it. Your attitude of trying to remain positive with the simple things in life is so refreshing.

    Some tips, if that's ok. Be sure to tether the tall cupboards to the wall so they don't fall forward onto you or your child! (connect the top part of the cupboard - maybe 3/4 of the way up - with a strong cable/wire so it doesn't tip forward). If you can't, put very very heavy things in the bottom only.

      Even the Ica chest of drawers must bee tetherd 👍
      If more then one drawer is opend it will fall over

    • @FiredUpFemale
      @FiredUpFemale Před 3 měsíci +20

      Came here to say this, too! Furniture like cupboards and dressers are very dangerous for kids unless attached to the wall to prevent tipping. ❤

      Some small L brackets would do the job on either side, you could get some rugs if you can, it will help with sound. Nail varnish remover for pen marks, hope you got a discount for the marks!

      We had a wardrobe when I was growing up. My little brother grabbed me around the waste when I was getting something in it and pulled it down on both of us. Thankfully we were ok. That is a very good tip!

    NEVER Apologize to the kids interrupting or anything...for a Vlog hte completely "ORGANIC" feel works. You're not trying to hide or make your life look like somthing it's not and that's what brings me...that and Toyla is a trip to watch his reactions a lot of time, especially his reaction about pie LOL

      Absolutely, many kids are huŕt when they climb them and they fall on them if they are not anchored.

    Take a highlighter and go over the permanent marker and wipe with a cloth should come off. I’m a teacher and had to do that with desks a lot. Hand sanitizer also can work. Love your videos

    To go from your Father's flat and your first Georgian flat that had almost too much storage to this flat with no storage must-have been so frustrating for someone who is so tidy and organized. I hope you feel more at home soon with everything in its place!
    It is so interesting to see Adeline becoming a toddler, A similar ago to Agatha when I first started watching your vlogs. Agatha clearly likes being her Mom's helper.

    You have a lovely family. Also I love the view from your apartment! I have a nice home, but our view is awful. They're building a lot of apartment buildings now, and it used to be empty fields. And it's become very noisy. 😢

  • @ginamcgrew9955
    @ginamcgrew9955 Před 3 měsíci +16

    Of course I can't speak for all your viewers, but I'm a mom, and I have reasonable expectations for moms who vlog 😂😅 dont worry about interruptions bc I expect moms to have to stop and address their kids, and its cute to see them interact, and its just real life. Otherwise you'll be editing foreeeevvverrr and that takes so much time. That's just my 2 cents worth - meaning that's my unimportant opinion 🙂 you got so much done with your organizing 🎉🎉

  • @blpanzer
    @blpanzer Před 3 měsíci +7

    About the furnitures, I think the reason they were already assembled, dirty and marked is because the company brought pieces to you, which were displayed/exhibited before at the company. Like in IKEA's showrooms or maybe in a shopwindow.
    Maybe the permanent marker-pen markings on them were some guidelines or placement indicators, maybe meant something for the employees of the store. The dirt and dust on them maybe collected in a warehouse, where they were stored after displayed enough and until you ordered it.
    Jumping on a different topic, Victoria you are excessively beautiful, not to mention your amazing personality with (despite the dozens of previous hard or stressful events in your life) infinite caring and cuteness, Toyla is super lucky being next to you :) I hope your family will always successfully overcome any difficulties that this world and life brings up.
    Greetings from Hungary!

  • @iwasfloyd
    @iwasfloyd Před 3 měsíci +15

    Awesome furniture!! But, as has been mentioned, please secure the tall cabinets to the wall in a stud. That way they won't fall over.

  • @busy_at_the_moment

    @XSemperIdem5 Před 3 měsíci +4

    Yeah, that's not really new furniture. They might have been floor display models that were collecting dust in a back room.
    If you have full sets of sheets with matching pillowcases you can use the organization method of folding the sheets and putting them in their corresponding pillowcase. I think I saw Martha Stewart do that many years ago.

  • @mcsfalcon6826
    @mcsfalcon6826 Před 3 měsíci +8

    You can take off the markers with alcohol. I don’t know what it’s called there, it’s sometimes called rubbing alcohol in the US, in Australia they refer to it as isopropyl or ethyl alcohol. But I’ve found it’s the most effective way to remove markers from smooth surfaces.

    • @denverdubois5835
      @denverdubois5835 Před 3 měsíci +1

      Yes, and if that is grease pencil on the mirror, gently scraping as much as possible off with a knife and then taping a pad soaked with acetone to it should do the job. Baking soda and water paste can be useful too.

    Hello Vika, I used similar drawers, sometimes the whole thing can lean and fall if all drawers are full and opened at once, it can be unsafe for the children.

    I watched this while taking a break from doing a big spring cleaning of my home. I was so anxious to see you get started, I jumped passed the talking part in the beginning.😂😂😂Your girls following you everywhere reminded me of when I would come home from work and my oldest daughter would follow me around talking and talking and followed me even into the bathroom. They grow so fast, just enjoy.
