Could you please dm me how to find a TH-cam manager? Or a UGC agency? My mental capacity right now I do not have the energy to find gigs and pitch❤❤❤ I love how much natural light your house has!
You made the best possible decision moving into that house. Some things just happen beyond your control and they are for the absolute best. I would never feel bad commuting a long time to see a super dear friend of mine. Just know all those friends were happy to do so to see you!
Whaaaat?! Definitly invite friends over more often! Your space is so big and beautifull and great for having people over. I live in a tiny appartement and I always go to my friends who have whole houses because of their amazing space.
4:07 I can totally hear this conversation happening with your parents when you found out. “WHAT?! HERE?! Like…here, here? You guys got engaged here?! How come you guys never told us?! We’ve walked here a million times!!” Dad “well, you never asked…” 😂
I have a friend with a house and nobody cares that it’s a bit further than our apartments because it’s so nice to spend time in a home with a yard! As the friend that goes to other peoples places (typically) I love it 😊
The fact that you could afford a townhouse in Toronto and renovate/customize it is amazing! I live in Vancouver and real estate is out of reach for majority of us sadly. Even the suburbs are quite inflated and expensive. As someone commented below you will grow into this beautiful house of yours. The other option is to rent out your place and temporarily rent a condo downtown to enjoy the lifestyle there for a few years?
Pausing the vlog to say: I think every move you've made so far, was the right decision. And.. with around 10,000 homeless people in Toronto;you are blessed. Sara is so real, and funny. (Asking about deodorant) You guys did your thing,with the food.(Nice cheese board)
I feel like if u did live downtown, in a few years you would think the same about that house and wished you lived where u are now. I feel like ur house is able to grow with you over the years.
for sure!!! I wish I had lived downtown and THEN bought this house when I was ready to be more "settled down", but of course I am infinitely grateful to have this home at all! just something I wouldve done differently if I had known!
I have to agree!!! My husband and I moved to Midtown around same time and we have the same buyers remorse feelings buttttttt sometimes moving to the area you like to hang out in might ruin the Intrigue 😂
I am also like you, very introverted and I dont have a lot of people over but when I do, it feels so wholesome and it makes me want to have more people over eventually and try become more outgoing
as someone who has lived in both the city and country trust me when i say you can pick your location but you cant choose your neighbors. that being said, you can always go to the party to visit and can then return to your home / sanctuary but do you want to move where you live in the chaos constantly just to be closer to friends.
Found you because I bought a house in (downtown) Toronto around the same time! And: never say never! You could always move downtown eventually... I grew up in midtown and it's honestly so great living in the west end!
Honestly just being able to afford living in Toronto is the vibe. You’re very lucky to have a home close by to family and friends. Most of my friends and family are scattered all over the GTA haha 😆 Home is home no matter where you are ❤
I totally relate to living further than your friends! All my friends like closer to the city and I’m like a good 30-40 mins out in the country and feel bad asking them to come here but I also have to commute to them! It all works out in the end but I get the guilt!
Me and my husband bought in the suburbs of Nashville after living downtown for years. We want to sell and go back to renting downtown SO BAD 😂 the fun part is…there’s no rules! We can do that if we want regardless of other people who could “never do that” 🙃💕 do you babes!!
Seeing the Netflix trailer, and it's a Danish director making it. Wow its Susanne bier proud to be a dane my self🇩🇰❤️👏. To know our little county made it out to the big world, on big screens,and scenes. with good actors, directors, filming for Netflix and script writing with other big companies. So nice i didn't even know that. It was her making that. Thanks Tara for letting me know
I also don't really enjoy hosting but I wish I would. Because in theory I like baking, cooking and decorating but i just stresses me out to be the host and I always think I'm not good at it. So I get what you were saying
I had my 3rd baby in June! My first boy!! I went to the hospital in a ton of pain at 37 weeks. They told me it was prodromal labor… 37+3, I was still having pretty strong contractions. I went back to the hospital & they said I was at 3cm & 80% effaced. They gave me the option to stay or to go home. I went home & labored in the tub with my husband & my two children with me. 45 minutes later I was about to push this kid out & NOBODY believed me!! My husband took me back to the hospital & I was at 9 cm. I gave birth 12 minutes later to my little Kannon Crew! Best advice: practice giving birth unmedicated because you truly do not know & to avoid trauma, it’s best to have all the tools in the tool box! I planned for an epidural & I progressed WAY too quickly. But I knew what to do so I felt at ease with that! Counter pressure took 100% of my pain away during all contractions, even transition!! Highly recommend lol Zac better not skip arm day at the gym 😂😂
So fun Tara, what a great job you did, our book club (24 yrs running) takes breaks during the summer but our summer read is usually a loooong book that we can't fit in in a month...often a classic. I'm always so hyped after too .
Weekend was great. Had brunch with my sister , her daughter and new baby girl(2 months), my daughter, granddaughter & her 2 girls. We haven’t gotten together in a while since my sister’s foot surgery,the baby’s birth and just regular happenings. This was long over due. We had good food, lots of shots…lol, mimosa’s and just hung out together. We made a promise to do this on a regular.
Love the book talk. I read Fourth Wing, Iron Flame and the ACOTAR series because of your reviews. I really think you need to read Throne of Glass series which i dived into after ACOTAR, you will not be disappointed!
This was a fun vlog ❤ Book club was very cute and chic. You did such a great job. Those egg bites looked good too. Next time you should try a spicy buffalo or a garlic egg one 😊
Love your videos Tara. I am a 65 year old retired mom of 2 30ish year old sons and daughters-in-law. I think I enjoy living vicariously through your life. I wouldn't change my life,but maybe wish I was not such an introvert. Keep doing what you do and I'll continue to watch and enjoy. P.S. If possible can you share the brand of the makeup remover cloth.
Wanted to go with a thriller as my next book but you convinced me to read a summer book before the summer ends. and luckily i have „people we meet on vacation“ at home. also could you please never stop talking about books ever 🤍
How fun! Great job hosting! Everything looked so great. Loved that you and Sarah were in the EXACT same page about the book without talking about it first. 😂
You are so fortunate to afford a house in Toronto with a backyard and space to grow into . With how real estate is in the city it will only keep going up in value. You don’t want to move, then find yourself priced out if you want to go back.
Have you ever considered renting out your house for a bit and getting a place downtown? That way you could experience it with getting rid of your cute home you’ve made
I bought my house in the outskirts of Nashville and I think the same about the location of my house. But tbh, there’s absolutely no way I’d want to be closer to downtown
The perfect couple sounded great to read. I’m glad you warned us ahead of time. No way was I gonna read 600 pages of just nothing. I hope the Netflix series is better. 😅
This looks like such a fun day! I love how you put so much effort into your book club, it really shows! And those book recommendations are def gonna make my summer better. Gonna try that egg flight trend too, sounds delish! 🥚📚✨
Totally get it. I have a similar situation but in Montreal. But then I think I have great outdoor space and more room inside and I’m just comfortable there. Don’t feel bad having people come to you sometimes, you have your yard, and so much extra room to enjoy, multiple bathrooms, guest bedroom. Plus downtown stinks 🫤
Hahah I get you with the hosting anxiety. I’m always like okay does this person coming like orange juice, yes but okay do they like no pulp, low pulp, full pulp?? Does everyone feel comfortable? Is it like t shirt comfortable or should I have a bunch of cardigans casually (not casually) around just in case someone gets cold? If a person sits on this side of the couch will they have the sun in their eyes?? Lmao general hosting anxiety. It’s funny because if I go to someone else’s place I would never ever expect anything of that sort. It’s only if someone comes to mine 😂😂
How do you make friends as an adult/how do you find a book club like this? I have always had a hard time making friends now that I’m out of school and moved away from my home town
See - you ARE the perfect hostess and you really had a great time! You should do more get-togethers! You'll get more comfortable with it. I'm sure all your friends enjoyed themselves.
One itlaian summer through me off too!! I thought for sure it was gonna be cute romantic book taking place in Italy. But it was pleasantly a nice surprise and turned out to be a good book. Also, I totally get what you were saying about having a group of girl friends. It's so hard to find good friends and when you do it just means everything.
how was everyone's long weekend?!?! 🩷🩷
Fun
It was relaxing
Could you please dm me how to find a TH-cam manager? Or a UGC agency?
My mental capacity right now I do not have the energy to find gigs and pitch❤❤❤
I love how much natural light your house has!
SSDD……in honor of book club😂
It was nice having a extra day off
Getting a place in North Toronto is what most Torontonians dream of. You’ve made the right decision, Tara!
For real. I rent and can only dream of owning one of the homes I walk by daily. 🙏🏼😩
You made the best possible decision moving into that house. Some things just happen beyond your control and they are for the absolute best. I would never feel bad commuting a long time to see a super dear friend of mine. Just know all those friends were happy to do so to see you!

hahahahah liiiiiterally this is how it went
I have a friend with a house and nobody cares that it’s a bit further than our apartments because it’s so nice to spend time in a home with a yard! As the friend that goes to other peoples places (typically) I love it 😊
I stopped watching you for a while, no idea why but now I’m back and I’m so happy, the vlogs are relaxing and comforting. Definitely missed it 🤍✨
I love your book club vlogs, I literally think it's such a cute and wholesome activity
The fact that you could afford a townhouse in Toronto and renovate/customize it is amazing! I live in Vancouver and real estate is out of reach for majority of us sadly. Even the suburbs are quite inflated and expensive. As someone commented below you will grow into this beautiful house of yours. The other option is to rent out your place and temporarily rent a condo downtown to enjoy the lifestyle there for a few years?
Everything looked so lovely and Sarah definitely puts together a stunning charcuterie board!
You make Toronto look so dreamy!
Book club night looked amazing! Love your backyard!
Pausing the vlog to say:

Girl same - hosting is a huge trigger for my anxiety. Makes me feel bad - comforting to hear others struggle with this too.
This was such a good vlog, and you should def do more book suggestions segments.
glad you enjoyed!!!
book club seems like the best thing ever!!
I love your house please don’t move! The book club set up was So cute!! 🤍💙🙌🏽
I am also like you, very introverted and I dont have a lot of people over but when I do, it feels so wholesome and it makes me want to have more people over eventually and try become more outgoing
Would love to see how you plan your days and content to stay on schedule! Really loved this vlog and thanks for all the book recommendations 📖🤍
Don’t worry Tara, when you hit your mid thirties, you’re going to be glad no one comes over lol
That’s how you know your life is blessed family and great friends.
Blush looks great!
You did so good with the theme & hosting!! I’m sure the girlies were SO happy to come over and felt so welcomed in your home! ✨📖💘
I love love and look forward to long vlogs always!!
So excited to watch this!!
I didn't manage to see the video when it came out (it's evenings for my time zone), but this is the best morning routine addition 😍
Just a 1/4 avocado?? I admire your control, Tara!!! 😂🥑🥑🥑😋
as someone who has lived in both the city and country trust me when i say you can pick your location but you cant choose your neighbors. that being said, you can always go to the party to visit and can then return to your home / sanctuary but do you want to move where you live in the chaos constantly just to be closer to friends.
love your energy ❤❤❤❤
My sister and I went to the air show and then out to dinner. I love your house. Glad Sarah came over to assist you with the table.
Yes you are very lucky that you can do what you want at whatever hour of the day!
Found you because I bought a house in (downtown) Toronto around the same time! And: never say never! You could always move downtown eventually... I grew up in midtown and it's honestly so great living in the west end!

watching with a frozen mouth cause i just got a cavity filled 🤩

I’ve been thinking about a ranch deviled egg topped with a with a sprinkle of chilie cheese Fritos and top it with a a CC frito.
your hair is looking sooo cute right now!

Hi should put a book shelf behind your desk instead of those floating shelves k, would look really good with all your book.
Omg I'm sooooo early! 🥰 cannot wait to dive into this gem. Tara's vlogs get that thumbs up before I even watch 😅
Another great video! How fun I wish I was part of your book club! ☺️☺️
Your house is gorgeous. I wouldn’t change a thing.🥰
I love your house and the layout and the multiple floors! Absolutely gorgeous!!!

Book club seemed so fun 😊 how did you organize the group originally?
So fun Tara, what a great job you did, our book club (24 yrs running) takes breaks during the summer but our summer read is usually a loooong book that we can't fit in in a month...often a classic. I'm always so hyped after too .
What eyeshadow did you use for your makeup??? 😍😍😍
The blush looks great!
Sneaky fam! Also, is that a MaCenna candle on your island - Auden Lueur??! 😍

Wanted to go with a thriller as my next book but you convinced me to read a summer book before the summer ends. and luckily i have „people we meet on vacation“ at home.
also could you please never stop talking about books ever 🤍
What is the product(s) you use and would recommend to dye your hair to cover the blonde?
Totalllll side note: I use the skin fix moisturizer too! Lol
I would really like to find a book club in my area. 😞It looks so fun!😍
How fun! Great job hosting! Everything looked so great. Loved that you and Sarah were in the EXACT same page about the book without talking about it first. 😂
❤❤❤ you Tara! Always look forward to your videos 😊
Omg I also spray room spray before people come to my place 😅
#1❤ loooove you!! So inspiring!
Tara I’m currently reading every summer after does it get better after chapter 6 ?
So it’s 12:55 am and I have an early work day tomorrow, but I’ve been so anxious all night that I couldn’t sleep. Glad you put a vlog up. 🥹
Looking amazing!
You are so fortunate to afford a house in Toronto with a backyard and space to grow into . With how real estate is in the city it will only keep going up in value. You don’t want to move, then find yourself priced out if you want to go back.
You could always rent out your house now and rent a place downtown
It’s so great to see you enjoy and spend memorable time with your friend tribe. I appreciated this vid. Thank you🧡
Have you ever considered renting out your house for a bit and getting a place downtown? That way you could experience it with getting rid of your cute home you’ve made
Ooooo I’m going to make my own spray of Jasmine and Ylang Ylang.😊 I have those essential oils
I bought my house in the outskirts of Nashville and I think the same about the location of my house. But tbh, there’s absolutely no way I’d want to be closer to downtown
lol i’m east end and feel you. i feel so guilty making people come to me haha
The perfect couple sounded great to read. I’m glad you warned us ahead of time. No way was I gonna read 600 pages of just nothing. I hope the Netflix series is better. 😅
This looks like such a fun day! I love how you put so much effort into your book club, it really shows! And those book recommendations are def gonna make my summer better. Gonna try that egg flight trend too, sounds delish! 🥚📚✨
Dark blue is your color!!!
I want to start a book club so bad omg ❤❤❤
I love you!! ❤❤❤❤
THAT IS A HUGE STITCH! I LOVE IT!! I have been collecting squishmallows forever and never seen a Stitch that big. 😂
Immediately clicked on the video
I love you so much 💗. Not only are you so beautiful but also your videos are amazing ❤️ 😊
Where did you get the china themed paper plates and napkins? They are a gorgeous vibe!
amazon!!
Been on vakay and looking forward to catching up on the vids 🫶
All that hard work on the house please stay
Tara …..you are so delightful! ❤😊
What fun. How is your friend & her baby? Praying for your Momma. ❤❤
Love the navy sweater! Where’s it from?
aritzia!
30:09 ahhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!! I love Stitch😩😩😩😩
Totally get it. I have a similar situation but in Montreal. But then I think I have great outdoor space and more room inside and I’m just comfortable there.
