I know both of our families love capturing life's moments on camera... But! It really is a sign of a great time when you forget to vlog. I hear the difference in the name pronunciation. It's the long A version, probably because of my Chicago accent! P.S. So happy you saw coffee. I knew it was hiding somewhere! Thanks for the great company. Next time there will be another little boy to add to the fun.
I am the same way about nursing. I will nurse with a cover on, but I just can't without one unless there is some privacy. So much kudos to those who feel comfortable enough to. I always carried a nursing cover in my diaper bag, which helped to never forget it :). I have met a lot of Disney friends through RUclips, Instagram and Twitter as well. It is so nice to have social media especially during these times. Thanks for sharing!
Living with the Land getting some serious love👍🏻 I am not a huge social person, but I do love my small circle of close friends. We are all parents now, so it’s fun to get the kids together and the adults can catch up. I don’t find it hard to make new work or general friendships, but I do find it difficult to develop a real deep friendship with people now that I’m older. I am definitely an introvert and I just like my small circle of family and friends.
I find the friends I have made since school to be more substantial, valuable friendships that I truly treasure. We have grown together. Loving living through your home away from home!
I'm a little late watching these videos oops! But I absolutely love these vlogs!! Seeing y'all out and about, just doing what makes you happy!! Love seeing how happy you and the boys are! I just turned 24 and moved back home after college and I am finding it quite hard to make friends! All of my work colleagues are older than me by about 10+ years. This is completely fine! But, I do wish I had some friends closer to my age! All of my friends from high school and college all live far away. Thankfully though through our phones and social media we are able to stay in touch! During quarantine I took a lot of time to self reflect and I think I have finally found a friend in myself!
I find it harder to make New friends as I get older. We have less New opportunities to do so. I still have my best friend from high school. And a few co-workers trought the years have become friends too. Glad you got to meet Sarah.
Such a sweet video. Gosh Lee is so smart and asks great questions! As for your questions, I used to have an easier time making friends until my family moved to a new community 2 years ago. We have family here but I have only a small handful of friends. It's tougher as a mom too because my daughter isn't in any structured activities where I could meet moms and to meet "mom friends" you have to match make for your kid and yourself. I might meet a kid same age as my daughter but their mom doesn't have anything in common with me. I am also an "older mom" at 40 with a 3 year old, and often I find the moms at meet ups are in a different stage of life than me. I am naturally introverted though so I'm comfortable with a small circle, especially in a pandemic. But I miss the hundreds of connections I had in my old community. I bet though if we lived closer, we would be good friends, despite age difference. Kindred spirits. You're amazing. I love your channel because it does feel like connecting with a friend, in a time when connection has been a challenge. ♥️
Loved this video! I’m a Sarah from down south and we pronounce it like “sair-uh” or occasionally my grandma called me “say-ruh.” 🥰 And my most precious friendships after school age have been a couple of co-workers and my sister in law. ❤️
these memories were definitley worth sharing Ashley!! any amount of time with you and your family, you are really inspiring, keep up the great work, and keep creating that loving environment!
Another cute video! I hope you are enjoying this time you are able to spend at the parks! Answering your question at the end: It is super hard for me to find friends. I only have 2 really close friends that I've had since grade school (25+ years of friendship!). I have lots of acquaintances, but no one I hang out with constantly - or trust as much as my 2 close friends. I wish this wasn't the case, but I guess that's what being an introvert is all about. Since my 2 close friends are 3 provinces away (I'm in Canada), it's been hard in the past to keep in touch. However, since the pandemic, I've been able to video chat with my 1 friend almost every single week! Something good to come out of something not so good! :) Thanks again for vlogging for us! I know it must be hard when you're by yourself at the parks with 2 little ones!! But I have to say, Ashley, you make for a great mom, even if things don't go smoothly sometimes. We're only human!
Making friends has changed so much with technology. I find I am closer to some friends I have *met* online then I am to school friends. And meeting becomes so precious. I just happened to be lucky enough to meet a vlogger friend (Jen Lefforge) in Antigua of *all* places purely coincidentally almost a year ago. It truly convinced me that fate is real. Hope to meet you and your sweet family and the Brookharts by some similar fate someday!
I have 1 friend left from high school, a few from college, and a few colleagues. However, most of our friendship is virtual and not just because of COVID. Having kids and living in different areas makes it difficult to spend real time together. I am so introverted that I’m ok with this. I do find it hard to make real, deep, meaningful friendships as an adult. Some of this is because I want to spend time with my immediate family every chance I get that I do not “budget” time for outside friendship. At this stage of my life, I’m ok with this. As my kids age and leave the nest, I’m sure I’ll transition into more friendship time as I’ll have more time for that then. While my kids are young, I don’t want to leave them much or miss much time with them.
Thanks for bringing us along. You might have answered this before, but is your sign-up "Alright, what's next" a reference to West Wing's "Ok, what's next"?
We love epcot!!! Thanks for taking us with you! X and I will be going back in February. I also love going on rides multiple times, my hubby doesn’t haha. I just bought a cd with 90s epcot songs and we’ve been having fun listening hahaha I’ve made a few friends post school. We moved a lot with military life so right as I started to really get to know someone, we had to move for a new duty station. 🤷♀️. I have a few coworker friends, but I don’t have an easy time with making friends. I like to think I’m easy to get along with, but I have a really hard time making friends. I would say I’m probably not a good friend to myself
Lee and the brand new Donald ride 🥰🥰 and Joe at the end - so sweet!
Denis is such a wee smiley faced angel..... lifts my soul
Beauty of EPCOT - can have a wonderfully chill day!
So excited to see you have your own channel. My wife and I have enjoyed your videos for years and it has been so cool to watch your family grow.

I was so excited to see you in Sarah's vlog last week, and I'm just as excited to see Sarah in your vlog today! I love both your channels!

Do you like sugar? No. NO? Cracked me up!
Yes, Lee, the "Donald Ride" is definitely brand-new! ;)
Great choice Lee. Living with the land is one of the best rides in Epcot!!

Ashley - I need some direction in where to rent a crib and stroller for an upcoming stay. Recommendations?
Will we see Auntie Brooke and that guy?
