Hi my name is Lilly and I am an American expat living on the island of Koh Samui in the gulf of Thailand for the last 9 years. My husband is Thai and his name is Wat. We have two boys-Luke and Leon plus and a new baby girl named Lyla. Nam is our nanny and she is from Myanmar. Nam has worked for us for nearly 7 years. She was the chef at our restaurant before we closed due to covid.

God bless u and your family
Sleeping in the same room is one of the safest feelings you can have while you sleep growing up. I loved it.
I agree, that's one of the reasons my husband and I agreed to have our daughter sleep in the same room with us because we were protecting her. We had her at 43 years old, (both my husband and I), so one can understand how we felt being afraid someone was going to take her from her room. She is 12 yrs old now and decided to go to her own room when she was 11 years old. She decided she was ready. We miss it so much.
C'est vrai mais jusqu'à quel âge? En tant qu'enfant je n'ai pas apprécié me réveiller et voir mes parents faire des choses d'adultes et me poser des questions 🤔🤨
I love this… daddy getting the kids wild.. I love the dynamics and no one should judge. As long as everyone happy and healthy
Just love your family, you’re all so loving and happy. You can clearly tell how much your husband just adores you all ☺️ I’m in Australia and my husband and I sleep in our room, my 18 year old daughter has her own room and so does my 21 month old. No judgement here at all, as a mama myself, I know that you just do wherever it takes to make things work for your family.
He really seems to be a very loving father to his children.
I’m from Nova Scotia Canada and my babies slept with me for many years. I think it’s healthy that you and your husband share nighttime responsibilities and sleeping in one room makes a lot of sense to me. I enjoy the simplicity of your videos tone honest. They are very peaceful to watch.
You’re not supposed to sleep with your baby because you may crush them in your sleep.
@@KRE8TVT That rarely happens, if at all. If a baby got laid on at all, it would wake up and cry, before it ever got crushed and would wake the parents.
I think the most important thing in life and in Family is Peace, Honesty and Acceptance - Your family is a perfect example and you are ment to inspire other to live a happy life. It doesnt matter which part of the world you belong and what is your living conditions , I personally think you are the perfect example of Inter-cultural Marriage/Relationship.
My brother does the same thing with my nephews; they will start playing before bedtime..... lol. We are from Venezuela, and we don't sleep in the same bedrooms, but my brother has begun that habit with his children. I love that you are happy, Lilly. Kisses and blessings to everybody. I hope your siblings will come to visit you in Thailand because that will be so much fun for all of us, they are comedians.
I’ve always been waiting to see your every new vlog…so enjoyable to watch your every day life. Wat is so loving. Nam is so helpful. Luke, Leon and Lila are extremely adorable! Many blessings to you all…!
Of course Nam is helpful, she's the paid nanny!
You are living your life on your own terms. That’s what life should be. I am a grandmother and when our kids were babies they slept with us. We always had a family bed till they were comfortable on their own. My children have done the same with their children. For us we believe it gave our babies a secure feeling. Much Love and Prayers for your beautiful family.
Saying Hi from S.E. Florida, U.S.A.
✌🏼❤️🙏🏼
I am so glad I found your TH-cam channel. Your family is so lively and full of love, and it brings back happy memories of when my children were young! Thank you for sharing your life with us!
Lily, you have the best husband and father to your children…you are blessed!
Watching this video reminds me of growing up in Trinidad and Tobago, (Caribbean). Love how loving and close you guys are. God's continued blessings to you and your lovely family. Thanks for sharing your life with us.
We all know that you are exhausted from transitioning to a family of 5 plus nanny. So , it is commendable that you even have time to let us peak into your life as you make videos. Please take good care of yourself. You and your husband are doing a great job! 💗
Hello Stella how are you doing today
@ 18:35 "Asian Style". I'm Asian: born and live in USA. I'm a parent now and I let me kids sleep in the same room until they are brave enough to go sleep in their own room. I believe this is why we Asian are so family orientin. Keep up the good job you are doing.
I grew up this way and even now that I have lived for 40 years in America, I will never change this practice if I have to start all over again. I definitely support your lifestyle Lilly.
Hi Lily, I’ve really enjoyed watching this video. It shows us viewers the daily ups and downs in your life, and it’s normal for all of us regardless where we live. Things just don’t become prefect just because you live in an exotic place. I appreciated vlogers like you, who keeps it real. You are so blessed. You and your family are so beautiful plus with sweet Nam. Also, you are beautiful with and without makeup.
I wish you all the best💜🌺
Best thing is for there to be harmony and peace. Everyone can sleep where they wish, it all looks cosy to me!
My hairdresser for many years was from Cambodia and he is the one that first told me about the family bed. He explained the kids all just leave it when they want to. No big deal. I like the idea. This was a great video!!!
We are from Sweden and our family slept all together in one room 😍 I also have 3 children, today 19, 18 and 15 years old. We have a special bound. I think, when we are together from the beginning we make special bounds. ❤️ You have wonderful family 🙏
Nam is such a wonderful person...she could be out having a single gals life.. she is a great friend.
Still beautiful without or with make up. Cute children ❤️. Loving husband ✌️
I enjoyed this Lilly. I am also an introvert and prefer the quiet life. Your children are so beautiful! I would like more at home videos!
Love how down your earth you show your vlogs, Watt is such a attentive daddy and husband! American men don’t do the things he does that’s left to the women I love Tai culture how the men help w the baby and kids , you are Blessed Lilly!!
In America men go to work. We can not live like thais. Depending where you live we have to pay to heat or cool homes. The North American traction is that every ch has there own room.
I think we all have to adapt to live in smaller places because it becomes to expensive to keep big house’s.
My personal observation on American living being raised in Europe.
Dear Lily, I am a friend of your mom in Sandpoint. You have the sweetest family. Love to all of you!
Hello Lily! New subscriber here from the Philippines! You really have a beautiful family! I think children growing up with a loving atmosphere and strong ties with parents, will be amazing people!
Judgement free zone here Lilly, you parent exactly the way that suits you and your Family. BTW my fridge is exactly the same as yours don't stress 👍
If your two boys are anything to go by, Lila is going to be a beauty!
As I am Thai, please let me explain about sharing a bedroom with the parents in Thailand. In addition to the better(?) family bonding, Thais do share a bed room to save on the utility bill. Air conditioners consume energy the most in the house. For my house, it is about 40-60%, quite a lot. When I was a teenager and had my own room, I still slept in my parent’s room on the hot days (35 Celsius) because the air conditioner was only in my parent’s room. At that time, the price of air conditioners was very high (higher than the present day) and not that efficient. It was difficult to get the air conditioner in my room. Moreover, if I got one, my two siblings would also one in their rooms too. They could not afford for the unit costs and the skyrocketed utility bills. In conclusion, sleeping in one rooms will save the earth and money.
My family are from turkey and in the villages of turkey everyone lives with their ın Laws, sometimes there are 2 or 3 families ın 1 bıg House. I was born in Sydney but ı know its part of turkish culture
Makes sense
@@sureyyaekinci4630 That’s why our families (Asian / Turkey) seem to be tight knit and very close. ❤️💗💖
Usually when dads are part of bedtime , they’re really good at that part!!! My childrens father, ALWAYS got them going at bedtime while I was trying to be calm so they would go to sleep.
We are south african, I was raised the baby sleeps in It's own room since night 1, but our son has been in the room with us ever since, for 5 years and continuing, don't think it will change soon, enjoy your family time
I have two older brothers too and I loved having them as my big brothers growing up, even now. One summer our family was moving and we had to stay at a motel for 2 months. We all slept in the same room, I liked it, it felt so comforting. Thank you for sharing about your family. I was in Thailand in 2009, would love to go back!
Hello Lisantica how are you doing
I shared a room with my kids and they were always welcome to sleep where they wished. My son slept with me til he was around 13. It’s natural and healthy. I loved seeing your real life. Thank you so much for sharing
What? 13 yr old son sleeping with the mother or father???? Creepy as hell.
We miss hvn ur daily vlogs however I do understand u are caught up with ur new baby and household chores 🥰 thnx fr uploading 😘👍🏻🙏🏻
I stumbled in your channel and i got addicted to it and now it became my daily habbit to wait and check the new aploads...and i love all your content..it made me sit all day watching just to get the seqence of your life story..thamk u for showing us and sharing your life story...so much respect.....much love from the Philippines.❤
Sleeping in one room is fantastic bonding. A flexible lady.Great how you adjusted thai style and your husband also
Such a beautiful mother of three! My sister and my brother-in-law lived in my parents home with their two kids. I was their doting 18 year old auntie. And I spent all my time with the kids. I would even put them to sleep in their big room which they shared with their parents. Only when they have slept, do their parents take over and I retreat to my room. That is South East Asian style at its best! We love family and we love children!
You do have the face and aura of a serenely happy woman, person. I'm in awe.
I’m new to your channel. Your family is beautiful ❤️ We don’t co-sleep but whatever works for you, you go for it 😊
Best wishes to you from Ireland 🥰☘️🇮🇪
Watching from Phillipines ! Hello ! Beautiful family of lily
I enjoy watching your channel and love Thaland. I went there about 3 years ago and absolutely loved it. Sat is a good dad, it would be so nice to hear him speak more as he so quiet.
Aww, Lyla is so adorable 🥰. God bless your amazing little tribe 🙏. And Happy Thai, Lao New Year. Be well. Wat is a good man & father. You guys are seemed to be doing it right.
I was born in Laos, and came to the States when I was a child and grew up as an American. I appreciate when East meets West or West meets East. Satu 🙏🫂🤝
Watching from philippines, love u lilly's and your family
First time commenting. I love to see how your family lives and the food you make. I'm also obsessed with utube, itchute, telegram, and utube. I'm up to date on world events and hope soon to see things get better for all of the world. Your family is beautiful.
We had couple of typhoons this April and it's not normal here in the Philippines. It should be piping hot here now.
Your husband is so sweet with the babies ♥️♥️♥️🇬🇧
I hope you remember how special it is to be surrounded by the whole family
And a man that seems quite relaxed and sometimes playful too ~
But you know him of course better than anyone 💫🌿
Awe your so blessed to have such a wonderful husband & father for your beautiful children ❤️ precious family ❤️🤗
Hi Lily, It's good to see you all doing your thing your way. My late husband and I raised four children and we all slept together too. The kids all had their own bedrooms and beds but we used to say they were just for show. 😂 They eventually, on their own slept with us less and less until it was just the two of us. Dr Sears wrote a book titled ' the family bed' that supported it and discussed the emotional and health advantages of the family bed'. I miss those times and seeing you and your sweet family in the early days of your family brings back sweet memories of the best days of my life. It's good to see you taking good care of yourself and eating so healthy. Best wishes from Colorado.
Lilly, We always had the same “unused baby bed” with the youngest sleeping between us. We had three children and Daddy would usually get rooted out of the big bed. LOL. Eventually, during the night, everyone would end up sleeping in their own beds. I was blessed and could stay home with our kids while my husband worked 9 to 5. We had a lively happy, home and loved our kids dearly. We still do, and now our children are all happily married with their own kids. And, to us, that’s what is most important. ☺️❤️( I live in NC in US)
Feel so happy watching your videos, very natural and happy family. Lucky kids to have such loving caring parents. I can see how contented and happy they are. These are things you cannot buy . Congrats to you on having new baby . Wishing you all the best 🥰. Im from Burma so this is very norm to me.
I'm from Australia and my sister sleeps with her two beautiful kids, 7 & 4 year olds in their room. I'll probably do the same - if it works, it works! 😋
Me too from Australia and I do that with my 4,2,1 year old
I glad you can stay home and nest with your beautiful family, you deserve it after giving birth is time to relax at home and just be…. Your lifestyle is genuine and wholesome and you are blessed to have a husband who is so hands on with all three kids. I don’t think my husband ever changed a diaper and surly didn’t feed any of our children. And never got up in the middle of the night to help out…count your blessings. I loved seeing you praying before your meals you are doing a wonderful job teaching them the meaning of being thankful…
Take care looking forward to your next video..
Pandan is really nice to add in sweet sticky rice, rice cakes in the philippines. i havent try the pandan tea but im intrigue wit the taste. so happy for you Lilly, a very handful and wonderful mom. God blessed your family
Im from philippines, I do that too. When my son was about the age of Luke but at the age of 9 i trained him to sleep by himself so he will not depend much on me. Now, his a dependent young 19 years old.His working for the meantime while the School is not open yet.
I love your family….everyone is so happy. Really enjoy your videos especially your narration
That's usually normal for Asian, for the family to sleep together as the houses are usually small and to only have one bedroom in the house. I grew up in the Philippines. But when my son was born in Canada I kept that tradition because the bonding is much deeper. He's almost 18 and he's still love the cuddles and kisses and he said he will not stop even if has kids lol.
Your sleeping arrangement is more like when we were small. It's typical here in the Philippines. And I like it.😘
Don’t worry about sleeping in the same room. I did that with my son and every time my grandson sleeps over he prefers to sleep in the room with me. It gives a feeling of comfort and safety. My grandson likes to say that we keep each other’s nightmares away.
Hello I’m new here !!
I’m from Chile my husband is from Sweden, we live in Dubai, and we have a daughter she is nearly 18 year now, before she sleep we us to 11 years + she was the one who decide to move to her own room …. Best time ever!!!
In our bedroom we had a extra bed
And I field really confortable to sleep like that .. nothing wrong
So enjoy of your kids time don’t run time flying
I am really happy for you back with the family and the kids. Wish you the best and I am from Virginia living In the Philppines
I usually follow channels like yours. So, I'll subscribe. My mom had 3 kids. My brother and I were a year and a half apart. And my younger sister was 4 and a half years apart.
Girl, you are living the life!! Love the family :)
In the Philippines, we sleep together in one room, until our children reaches 10 or 12 yrs old. Lucky if the family has several rooms in the house, we can separate children and have them sleep alone in their own room at maybe 8 or 9 yrs old. But Filipinos homes normally would just consists of 1 or 2 rooms. Babies do sleep together with their parents. It is common for Filipino husbands to also help the wife with taking care of the baby at night or even taking care of the wife with regards to food preparation, marketing, and household management, until the wife is able to recover from post partum. You are so lucky to have Wat and Nam with you!! ❤️
You do things the way you want to do them so there isn't any shame in that. Anyone telling you otherwise needs to pull themselves out of whatever funk there in and enjoy life in the way they want too like you do. You have a happy and beautiful family.
How great, like to see how well your family is getting along. Wonderful.
Yes we are the same way I'm from Philippines 🇵🇭 married with American husband our kids sleep with us in one room and I can honestly says we always had fun when they were young watching movies with them until they fall asleep
OMG!!! Sandpoint and Couer d' alene??? I live in Spokane and my Bro and Sis in law live in Blanchard, ID. Gonna go see your fam's shop!! Great channel, Thailand is beautiful and it is nice to see. You and your family are beautiful, take care of yourself!! Good job on the healthy eating. That takes will power for sure. Thank you for sharing!
Lilly thank you I went to you sister channel She's is so sweet and I was so glad to see gigi and I subscribe. So again thank you love your family.
He is such a great dad . You scored girl such a beautiful family and island living is the best ...
I am watching for the very first time as this was suggested to me by TH-cam. You have a wonderful family, three beautiful children, a dedicated husband ... I like your narration style of your life in Thailand. Yes, lifestyle would be different from North America but you have adapted well ... thank you for a look into your lifestyle and I look forward to more such videos.
I remember a family selling their business and family home... packing up and moving to "retire" in their mid 50s... moving from small town Canada to Thailand. This was back in the 1990s. With no internet usage.. my curiosity is how they found out about this place for their retirement.
Yessssss!!! That’s real pretty much ASIAN Culture!!! I love it!!! It’s in the Philippines too! I love watching you ALL.. You have a great Family and your husband is one in a Million!! You are lucky 🍀 for sure! ✝️🙏🏽🙏🏽 I love that you adopt the Culture and your kids is sooo adorable 😍😍😍
To me it’s not about how big home is ,but it’s about how happy people’s is . You’re blessed with beautiful family . Love from Ankara Turkey take care 🌹🌹🌹🌹
Its fine Lilly, nothing wrong with home vlogs and homecooking. Glad you are
at your happy place right now. You and baby could cuddle up and take her milk straight on the big bed..more endorphin for you! You look lovely as you are!!!
Your children are precious and you seem so happy!
I am from the same cap as him. Wind the kids up so tight that it wears them out and they fall asleep.
Leon is just the sweetest.
Yes we do in the Philippines as well….that makes a strong family bond…
hi from spokane. You popped up on my feed randomly. HOW FUN IS YOUR CHANNEL!!
As Asian, we indeed sleeping in the same room with siblings and parents until now we're 20+, and it's good coz u have time to have good chat.
so funny, he's like this is how we make them sleepy, tire them out with play, and you're like noo we need quiet time to make them sleepy. hhahaha its sooo cute. and yeah, Im from Singapore and my family slept together until I was around 12
Your all kids are mixed and super adorable. You have a very happy family.
Your family is so wholesome! Thx for sharing ur life with us
Yes, it's the Asian way! I sleep with my parents till I was 19. Lol! But of course I was in university for 4 years and lived in the school dorm.
Hi Lily, I am married to a Danish man and our 8 yrs old son is still sleeping with us. I came from Philippines by the way, living in Denmark😊
I love watching you vlogs😍
I’m from the East of Malaysia (North Borneo). That’s how exactly we sleep too when kids were small ..everyone in one room till the kids are 6 or 7 years old then they move out to their own rooms. It’s also depends how big is your house & how many rooms😅😅🥰🥰
Asian culture is entirely different,being a Srilankas ,we always give probity for cultural n traditional values,when the children are small ,specially we sleep in a master bed room,to pay more attention ,to share warmth n we give priority for children above all ,the strong bond ,love n care is the best thing we value,n we earn it fm early stages, some may agree with me or may not,but we love it in this way.thanks for sharing your life with us happy to see you adapt to our Asian culture.Love fm Srilanka.
What an amazing family you have, this is great for everyone watching
It is so interesting to learn about other cultures and their way of doing things. I have been in Thailand on two occasions and enjoyed it so much. As we stayed in resorts it is very interesting to learn more about Thai culture. My daughter will start working as a teacher in Bangkok in May. I am a picky eater and will have to be more adventurous. My daughter loves Thai food. I love watching your videos
You have a beautiful home n family n a god send Nam to help out with the kids.....may God shine down on you n your family
Congratulations to all! Beautiful children.
I am asian and my husband is white and we tried the whole baby in cot thing at first but it didn't work out. We co-slept with our boys. When they hit about 1 years old and 3 years old, I co-sleep with them in the living room (queen sized bed) as I became accustomed to staying up late whilst the husband sleeps in our main bed (he needs his sleep for work). Once they turned 2 and 4 years old, we have them in a shared double bed and a year after that into their own beds. Never did they gives us troubles with having to go to bed or the dark. They are 8 and 10 now and still no fuss.
You gotta do and sleep what is best for your family, I say.
Philippines yeah we do that too there could be instances, Filipinos are very resilient and flexible, we could sleep together in 1 bed in our own house, relatives house, even hotel we can also share rooms. I don't think it's just a traditional culture thing. I think it's applicable to families who don't have much rooms in a place to sleep in with, or maybe just too scared to sleep solo in 1 bedroom, kids at a young age often would want to sleep with their parents because it makes them feel more secured
You should drink moringa soup it can produce healthy milk. And its very nutritious also for children. Theres a vegetable and powder too.
Seeing your family at home doing real life things is awesome and as for how do I sleep? Well I live in Kirkland, Washington state and I'm 61yrs old I sleep on a bed that's up on stilts and my grandson sleep under the bed on a mattress and his 13yrs old
My granddaughter sleeps in her room on the floor, she has a bed but doesn't like sleep on one 🤣and my daughter who has her own room sleeps in a bed like mine where she's up 5ft on a platform.
When my kids were little we all slept on a king size bed and I think the way your doing it is beautiful and great for your family.
It doesn't matter how you sleep as long as you are happy in one family..When we are our younger days we did sleep in a one roon. Flat.. but we still manange untill we started working...and eventually we bought a house and all of us moved to a new house..I m not ashamed of myself thats life..love ❤ from Malaysia
Hi just discover your Chanel i am from Algéria living in spain having 3kids under 5 and WE are sleeping all in thé same Room it was my choice to avoid waking UP every night for my child and seriously i am enjoying this moments because they are soo important and i Can feel m'y babies all thé night enjoye your life you are doing thé vert
I live in Wa state and our son slept with us till he was 10 years old! I don't regret a thing! They are only young once!
Why would anyone judge you? It is not their place to. I live in USA and I have slept in a small RV, sleeping bag, a Full bed, a Twin bed, and on just a foam Twin mattress before. I have even slept in a car on a road trip. You make due with what you have and do what feels comfortable. No judgement here. ❤
