I use them, really reliable 👍🏻
Oh, xin nian kuai le !! 💥💥
We too have playgroups it relaxed what it says on the tin play group lots of playing and socialising creating good social skills for baby playing sharing being kind etc also physical skills through playing and the playing they do we don't call classes it's just sand play water play dress up painting etc and also gentle learning / education through playing it very similar almost the same to nursery which is used when parents work playgroup parents stay
Absolutely! I would expect nothing less. The Chinese (and most Asians) are so kind, social and giggly. I would expect that you will have many wonderful days together. If you need a foreign visitor sometime, shout! *depending on if i make it back to Shanghai 😂❤
Thank you
your family makes me a little less afraid of parenthood; it's nice to see a healthy, well adjusted couple with their adorable child just doing great as a family !
When the time comes you will do wonderful! Things are scary when they’re new but you learn & grow together as a family ❤️
They also seem like they’ve built nice careers for themselves and they’re both well-off, it’s a lot easier to take care of a child when you have the means to do so
@@Taylor_R thanks for share your journey 💛💚🌻 i wanna be mom like in ten years
@@ringoisacandyapple yeah that is why its important to be financially stable and have your career stable before planning to have a child. Actually, it should be a requirement but I also understand that everyone have their own circumstances. Ideally, I think that we all should be prepared for such a huge responsibility.
I don't think this is at all a realistic or attainable lifestyle, they are very wealthy and are lucky to be able to work from home/choose their schedules giving them the time they need for their family. It's great for them, but I would not use them as an example. Please be realistic and don't go having a family if you do not have the time/money/support.
I feel as if Taylor was one of my friends. Watching her grow up into a wonderful mom (and Tom into a wonderful dad) warms my heart. She’s still as funny and entertaining but she’s also so raw and real.
Only the best for your family ❤️
Thank you so much!! 🥰🥰
Agreed❤ I love Taylor so real and raw you don’t see that a lot with people of wealth and it’s so nice to see
Same
I really like the concept of play groups… in Germany at my hometown we call it Krabbelgruppe (krabbeln means crawling). In the group at my town I was in as a small child, it was mainly about the children being able to play supervised and the parents exchanging ideas and having a break. There were also many mothers who were single parents and who didn't have that much support at home either. So it was a very good and helpful concept. Especially for people who have not sent their children to kindergarten so early.
It is really fun!! I’m so glad we tried it out ☺️
We have this as well in Denmark! We call it something a little bit different but it's essentially single parents or couples meeting up with their children. The children will be around the same age and it's usually like 4-7 kids, but then most of them have older siblings as well and they join too. It's a great way to meet other parents and to not feel so alone!
We have playgroups in the UK too. I went to one as a very young child, they are mostly for kids under the age of 4/5yrs as at that point they would be starting infant school. I remember very little from my time there, except one memory of a boy taking the scooter or something I was playing with...that's about it lol.
My mom is still friends with the moms from my Krabbelgruppe, almost 30 years later. 😂 “honestly a valuable experience, especially for first time moms” is what she said 💜
@@haruka54 Same here - and my mother has also mother friends from my Konfirmandenunterricht in 4th grade called KU4 - the KU4 group classes were organised by mums and they still have hangouts every month 🤗
I love to see another “mixed” family and how you cherish both of your cultures. Levi is so lucky to have you both ❤❤ Sending lots of love in the year of the rabbit ❤❤
Taylor is so Educational and beyond engaging. I’ve watched her for years and years it’s so exciting to see her interactions with her little man(also Tom) just because how excited she was to become a mom. Wishing you a happy new year and many babies.
nothing says educational by having to put mixed family into every vlog. This shit isnt new to her or anyone. It seems more like a fetish than anything.
Hearing you say that you’re becoming the parents you’ve always dreamed of made me tear up 🥹
Happy new year Taylor 🐰🧧🎊
I’m happy to be able to see you and your family grow
Levi is adorably adorable he gets more handsome everytime I see him. He's growing fast and you guys are a lovely family Happy Chinese new year & Rosie looks ready to party ♡♡♡
How is Levi so well behaved. Also the most adorable baby ever. I love how you are both melting both your cultures for Levi. I hope you have a happy New Year.
I bet that care she recieved prior and just after birth (the hair washing and diet restrictions etc) plays a role!
I love the personal growth and development of you and Tom. I love seeing your relationship grew and blossom. I remember Tom as mystery boyfriend that we called elbow San . Now he's comfortable on camera and even vlog a bit for you. I enjoy watching your life comes together . Levi is super adorable
I love how you are so open to learn about the Chinese culture. I grown up in a Chinese family but you’ve taught me things I didn’t know.
I love that Tom is more comfortable in front of the camera…and was that him filming at the temple? Very awesome, and thank you for sharing your family with us ❤
I was wondering the same thing too! If it is, he got the feel of what type of footage Taylor would like after years of being together. It's so cute!
Your celebration in Chinese New Year 2023 looks sensational, Miss Taylor, which is also Levi's first time to celebrate one of the Chinese traditional festivals.
Happy Chinese New Year of the Rabbit, Miss Taylor.🧧🐇
Happy New Year Jerome! Thank you for your support always 🙏🏻
I raised my babies in the late 90’s-00’s in Canada (they’re in their early 20’s now) and playgroups were a BIG part of our lives!
Thats just daffodils. They are perennials. Once they are done for the season save the bulbs and you can replant them next year. They are also the birth flower for March in America. Love seeing them in your video
Your ending comments about becoming the parents you'd hoped to be hit me in the feels! So happy for you.
I’m a first time mom 18 weeks pregnant with a boy. I definitely got encouraged watching you navigate parenthood and I’m preparing myself for my journey as well! I enjoyed watching this vlog as my family is also currently celebrating CNY and making our wishes for health, peace and success. Happy Lunar New Years to all those that celebrate!
Ohh my heart! Levi feeding himself is the cutest thing ever!💞
I love seeing Levi experiencing holidays! It was so precious to me to see my little girl on her 2nd birthday and Christmas being excited and understanding more of what was going on. I'm so excited to keep seeing Levi grow and experiencing everything bothe your cultures have to offer!
Aw I really love to see how much more comfortable Tom is being on camera, speaking on camera and even adding in his own little film clip!!! As a long time subscriber, it’s kinda crazy to see the difference from when you first introduced him to your channel. Very sweet vlog. Many blessings!❤
Happy New Years guys! Tay I had such a bad day at work today, but seeing your new family celebrating together this year just brought me such joy. I remember watching you in years past planning, hoping and praying for this… it made all the suckiness, surly behavior (from a coworker) and a lost project fade away…. Life is about happiness, family and enjoying the moments together. ❤
I started bringing my son to our local library's play group when he was 2m old. He loves watching everything, and now we go to swim classes.
You two are definitely blending these cultures well, while at the same time keeping them defined individually. Your son is blessed and so are we for being able to witness such a beautiful thing.
I love how involved Levi can be already! Putting up decorations! Wow 🤩
I have been watching You (Taylor) for a long time since you were in Japan, as one the the comments said, it feels like you are a friend that I feel so happy to see her and Tom become such great parents for Levi and they are becoming this Happy family, I like the multicultural approach too. Happy Chinese new year of the rabbit! My year again❤️🥳🎇
I love seeing Tom when yall honor local traditions. Its almost like he gets this excitedness to share it with you, with kind of a child like enthusiasm. Its very endearing. I may not have described it well.
Thank you so much for sharing these amazing Chinese traditions with us all! It’s so cool to see your multicultural family and the traditions your raising him with! Love learning about other cultures. Thanks again!
You can plant the narcissus. Buy a vase and soil. I have 2 that I got from my boss and this year they will bloom.
Levi is so aware and inquisitive.Good job mom and dad both!
His hair looks so light in color
Hmm...
My son born a day after Levi loves that icky sticky bubblegum song, he learnt from Miss Rachel! When you started singing he turned around so excited!!
Imagine we will see Levi calling Taylor mom 🥲 OMG!!! It feels so good to be able to witnessed 🤧🤧😭❤️❤️❤️❤️
Levi is absolutely precious - such a blessing!
I’ve been a subscriber for so many years. I subscribed during peek doll years and loved the fashion and makeup. Stayed for the funny creative stuff and transition to Taylor 2.0 and have been here growing with her ever sense. Now that I am approaching 30, her family vlogs are exactly my type of content and I love seeing how much Taylor has changed and grown. I’m locked in as a forever fan 💕
i love watching these festive vlogs every year. There's something so charming about lunar newyears to me
I love when you share about Hong Kong's cultural traditions, they're so interesting. I'm curious how much these huge flower arrangements and trees cost! Are there smaller ones for people who are on a tighter budget? (Does a smaller one mean you will have less fortune for the new year?!)
Rosie is also everything,love seeing you all.Thank you for your amazing content.
Look at rosie! Like a teddy bear and she looks like shes smiling. Freaking too cute my heart cant handle all the beauty and adorableness in this video!
always appreciate these kind of vlogs. I get to learn so much and honestly become more excited for life, to experience food and culture and people.
I hope Tom appreciates how much you embrace his culture 💕
Idk why for all these new years we haven’t seen you gathering with your in-law family in new year or holiday
I hope you all do well and reunite all together in happy occasions
The peach blossom and pot are beautiful! It’s so wonderful seeing you so happy as a mother ❤
There's this warm feeling in my heart each and every time I watch your vlogs, bless you and your sweet lil family 💖
The flower you had on your dining table (Narcissus) is a flower that is popular here in Northern Europe (Sweden, Finland, Norway, Denmark probably in iceland as well) around easter, its literally called "påsklilja" meaning easterlily. It represents the start of spring for me because they always bloom around April and May. Interesting how flowers have different meaning in different cultures :D
Lunar new year taytay vids are my FAV! love how you get into the meanings behind everything! we love an educational moment!
the Narcissus flowers are gorgeous! Here in Europe (Austria) they're tradional as decorations for easter because they sprout in gardens about that time of the year.
Really nice vlog I get to know so much about Chinese culture through it. There is so much effort you put in all your vlogs. I look forward to it and always watch it. Lots of love to Levi.
Really like you giving him golden envelope
We are also a multicultural family (Jewish, catholic and husband's Filipino). It can be very enriching for the children to be aware of their heritage. Little one is adorable, super cute. Thanks for sharing!
What a great way to start a snowed day in 🥰 From Japan to HK from single to married with Levi, the journey that TayTay and Elbowsan have gone on is so human and such an inspiration. We love the journey and wish nothing but the best for the three (four 🥰 Rosie) of you in the New Year!
I get so excited when you up load! Watching your little family grow brings me such joy! Could you do an advice video with some of your favorite things you found for Levi? And advice for women with pcos? Seems like me and my husband are going through the same journey yall have went on with having Levi. And it's getting really tough. Thank you! And I hope you and your family have a happy new year!
That was the cutest moment 😊 at 10:07. You are such an amazing mom always making sure your baby boy is smiling and is happy even when you are just putting out the bouquet 💐 of flowers!
I got a red envelope from one of our patients at the clinic. It was the first time I have ever seen this, it was a beautiful gesture.
I cannot deal at how adorable your son is omgggerddd! I’ve grown up watching you! And I’m so happy and so proud to see your family is happy and healthy! Sending love from down under(Australia) 💕💕
I love seeing all these traditions for the Chinese New Year, such a beautiful celebration!
LOVELY to see Tom filming on his own❤
Thank you for always making a point to share Chinese traditions and culture with us!
I am so happy to see the three of you being happy and doing well. I´ve been following you for a few years now and i really gotta say that your vlogs always make so happy and you have an amazing personailty. I am sure Levi will grow up to a strong and happy person just like the two of you :)) Have a beautiful chinese new year. Lots of love
I remember watching the Chinese new year video last year, but now with Levi, it feels so wholesome. ❤
You made me miss h.k I lived there for 6years with my Chinese husband in tai po tsai village up in clear water bay i loved it my daughter was schooled there until she was six only thing I found was when we returned to uk was she was more advanced in schooling than the uk now my little granddaughter is learning mandarin here in English and she loves it she also learn Cantonese
Hi Taylor! I’m thinking about coming to Hong Kong in February next year. I would love to see an updated video on what you should know and what there is to do in Hong Kong and see from a more local perspective! ❤️❤️
Glad to see the traditional culture is keeping up. Wish you a happy new year Taylor！😊🎉
Loved hearing about the Chinese New Year traditions and seeing Hong Kong.
The flowers are beautiful
I look forward to this type of video every year! I find this all so interesting; thank you for sharing! It is so great to see your family blossom.
I love these vlogs where you show your Canadian and Chinese culture. I'm Chinese so I've been learning from your videos and thinking of starting to give out red pockets next year
Rosie's little grumble for you to put her down was so cute!! 🥰
All of the plants and flowers are soooo stunning 😭 I'd stare at them all day
Thank you for explaining the traditions and meanings behind the plants and foods. Love the festivities!
Lovely traditions!! I want to start putting new plants in my house every year. It looks so beautiful and I love the deeper meaning of the plants 💗
this is so wholesome i am a mixed asian (italian vietenamese) and watching this just brings back childhood memories of growing up mixed :)
I feel like a part of the family with these videos Taylor
I could watch an 8 hour video of just Levi being Levi. He's so stinking cute, I could just die!!!!! Also, Tom is pretty good at B-roll. Happy Chinese New Years you guys!
being in a multi-cultural marriage, it is so hard to know how to celebrate your spouse's cultural holidays. you are doing a great job Taylor!
This is one of my fav vlogs! I really want to travel to HK during chinese new year! The decor in the streets are super pretty and the Wishing Tree is so cute! Really great also that you always put what the flowers and food mean for chinese new year ^^
Truly beautiful I love the Chinese New Year traditions and decor it’s all so beautiful and magical
I love seeing your little family continue to blossom!!
I just realized how much I miss your foodie videos where you discovered new places 🥹 this vlog felt like one of those at the start for some reason, love anything you put out tho🫶🏼 💞
Aww I love to see you guys! I’m a European white girl with a half Chinese son as well so this brings back so many memories for me. I miss it so much especially when my baby was Levi‘s age. 🧧❤️👏
Taylor speak as many languages as possible with your baby boy! 🥰 I was born and raised in Italy (and still live in Italy) but my whole family is Srilankan (from Sri Lanka) and since always my parents talked to me both in English, in Sinhala (the language talked in Sri Lanka) and Italian, plus I was always surrounded by Italians and I went to school in Italy, my first language is Italian. I'm trilingual and very proud of it 😄 (I do understand french and a bit of german because I studied them in school. Even if Levi might tend to one language keep on talking in every language possible and sometimes insist (my parents did with english and sinhala even when I sometimes didn't want to speak in those languages because I felt like I was not good). Because I was surrounded by so many languages I started talking very late (after I was 3 years old) and the pediatrician told my parents that that was very normal in multicoltural households 😄 HAPPY NEW YEAR TO YOU GUYS!!🥰
So youre definitely fluent in your mother tongue (italian), are you also fluent in sinhala and english that your parents spoke to you in?
I will definitely make my kids also grow up multilingual.
Is sinhala the only languagae in Sri Lanka? Because of Bahubali (telugu movie) I just found out a year ago that there are many Indian languages 🤣 I really like Malayalam
Okay I just read the rest of your comment. Multilingual children start to talk later (makes sense) but its probably no big deal. Or did you have any serious problems?
Levi is sooooooooooooo big ! His little personality is blooming! How is he almost 1?! Time is flying
Taylor's vlogs are not only entertaining but also educational!
I feel like Taylor is my cool older sister that shares her life with me through the internet 🤩 I'm always learning a lot from all the different things in the videos 😍
I just love how your son looks like both of you. He is so cute!
Happy New Year! This was such a good vlog. Tom has been so much more comfortable in front of the camera and Levi is so precious. I am shocked that the cost is on par with the US for the candies and decor. Also I have not seen real Sugus is so long, we loved them as kids.
I love learning about other cultures traditions, so interesting ♡ thank you for sharing !
Taylor, you and Tom are a wonderful team and Levi is very lucky that he will grow up with two cultures and languages. I really love it when you show these aspects of life in Hong Kong, it's always so interesting.
We went to a playgroup when we lived in England for a short time - our older son was 4 and at school and our younger son was still a toddler. He was so shy, but he really benefited from the playgroup, and I made a great friend that I am still in touch with today, over 25 years later! Happy New Year!
Thank you, and happy New Year! I always learn new cultural customs each time I watch your blog (as an ABC! And I love your baby Levi, SO ADORABLE!
Levi is the cutest baby gentleman! He's adorable!💕
I can't handle the cuteness.
You're a lovely family, Levi is gorgeous and growing so fast!
Always watching your videos. From the start of your fertility journey until now, I’m so happy to see your family with you. Also your baby is so cute. Stay blessed!
Thank you as always for sharing insight into your family's world. Happy New year Taylor, Tom, Levi, and Rosie. I wish you all the good luck, happiness, and good health in the year of the Rabbit and always.❤🧡🐰🐇
🐇 Happy New Year! 🌸 I learn so much watching your videos, TY! Love to you all from Minnesota!
Happy New year Taylor, Tom, Levi, and Rosie.. May your year be filled with good health and happiness
The flowers and trees are gorgeous and breathtaking.
Prettiest mom ever… your baby is adorable and your husband is precious what a wonderful life and the food oh I’m so hungry now thank you 🙏💌🤩🙏
" I want another baby! So that's good!" Another angel like Levi? No way 🥺🥺❤
I LOVE seeing your family. Thank you for sharing. Happy wishes to everyone.
wow I never knew the meaning behind the tray. I appreciate my mom putting it together so much more now.
Fascinating! Your family is precious ❤
Taylor, I used to be terrified at one day. Coming a mom. But your vlogs make me feel like I’ll be ok! I used to be scared as a lot of changes will take place, but the more i watch you grow in life the more I am excited to grow as well!!
