  • Hello again! It's been a while :) This vlog is about our family trip to Canada, what it was like to finally bring Levi home to meet my family, as well as some baby/toddler travel tips that worked well for us.
    I had the most wonderful month making it harder than ever to leave. Having a kid and getting older makes time more apparent and living abroad more and more tough.
    Thanks for sharing these special moments with me and allowing me to open up about what’s going on in my mind.
    *This footage is from June 2023 (Levi was 1 year and 3 months old)

      I wouldn’t get too excited about having consistent videos from her, she uploaded this right before the 6 month cutoff where TH-cam stops monetizing videos. Not shaming her at all, I’m glad she’s spending time with her family and still giving us content, I just wouldn’t expect to see her again until around August when she NEEDS to upload again.

      @@briellewoolsit’s nice to see this POV. I agree. I can’t imagine the time it takes to edit videos to this quality, and still spend the amount of time you want with your babies. You never feel like it’s enough time regardless! Lol

    • @briellewools
      @briellewools 2 หลายเดือนก่อน +5

      @@Brittanywithaney absolutely, my son is a few months younger than Levi and i can’t imagine traveling, filming and editing a video all while trying to run a business and be a partner! Plus her husband has his own business if i remember correctly. And it’s not like she gave us a half arsed video either, this is quality and keeps us up to date with what they have going on while also providing privacy. I’d definitely looove having more consistent content from Taylor but as a mom I can’t do anything but respect her decision to step back and be with her son

    I have a feeling you made your dad a lot more happier then he even showed with Levi. And you made Tom happy, even with his sea sickness, that he could even experience that fishing trip. Perhaps next time a fishing trip while just standing on land? Enough places to visit that would allow excellent fishing while not on a boat. Perhaps a special company that could make his day even more? Send him to a nearby fishing ship? Might also be interesting.
    Great video :)
