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 😂❤
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 !
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
@@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 ❤️
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.
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 🤗
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.
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 ♡♡♡
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
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 ❤❤
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.
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.🧧🐇
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 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’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!
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!❤
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.
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
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?!)
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❤️🥳🎇
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.
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!
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’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 💕
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!
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. ❤
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
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!
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
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
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!
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!
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!
For the fact the both you and tom have separate million dollar net worths yall literally just act like normal people going to normal places and I love it
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
This is lovely, u r doing great with the language division, I speak to my kids in Spanish, whe their dad was here he use to speak to them in Chinese, he left years ago but, I continue teaching them Spanish and a what I can of Chinese, mostly the writing part as my pronunciation isn't good and I don't want to teach them wrong, outside they use italian as we live in Italy and it's hard sometimes but it help them to learn both languages so no problem 👌 This year, as always, we celebrated also the chinese new year, I wish I could take them to China for this holiday, as here it's so different and myself, being alone, I find it difficult to make more, so I just make what I can, we prepare jaozi, we make noodles, we buy lot of fruits, the "lucky ones", we make paper craft, hand made decorations and J prepare the hongbao. This year, as soon as Christmas ended, they were asking about the lunar new year, they were so excited for it as they were for Christmas, I love to show and teach them about my hometown and their dad's one, I remind them about their multicultural heritage as something precious, they can taste a bit of everything, this involves also the Italian culture too as I grew up here and they were born here and, we live here too, so they have more. I would love if their dad would put the effort Tom shows to u guys, that's lovely .
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! ❤️❤️
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
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?
Don’t throw out your orchid after new year! For most orchid species, ideal growing conditions follow exposure to fairly warm temp (tropical epiphytes), high humidity, and indirect sunlight for the majority of the day. I usually water my indoor babies once every 2 weeks in winter (supplement with grow light to encourage continuous blooms) and once a week (or more depending on temp and whether I transition them to being outdoors) in summer. Also work in a period of gradual exposure (usually a week or so trending to greater exposure) when/if transitioning to different external conditions/pressures. Remember, orchids don’t like their feet wet. If you repot or split a plant, make sure you get a pot that just fits (or is slightly smaller than the size of the root ball, no bigger). There are many growing medium mixes available, but the mix I’ve had the most success with is 2/3 conifer bark, 1/3 perlite, and 1/3 extrusive igneous rock (pumice or basalt). Compost tea is an excellent amendment to start as spring approaches. Hope this helps. Happy gardening!
Taylor, I lived for many years in Hong Kong and just moved away last year…. Your videos keep those wonderful HK memories alive and give me such a warm feeling. Thanks for sharing your life with us 🥰
I was just in Las Vegas for a homebuilders convention. Caesars Palace was decked out for Chinese new year! Also, all around Las Vegas they had little bubbles you could buy for the year of the rabbit.
You are my favorite RUclipsr ever, Taylor! ❤️😍 And you are so beautiful, and Levi is so cute! 😍 I hope you have a really wonderful, great, amazing and happy life, Taylor, with Tom, Levi and Rosie. 🤗😘
First time seeing your videos and I love your baby…is super cute. OMG I loveee the Chinese outfit. I see the historical series with all those incredible dresses on men and woman. Beautiful culture. You need to see the serie Eternal Love with Mark Chao is an excellent actor.
In the UK we have play groups very similar to what you described, and parents take their babies and toddlers to them before they go to nursery. It might be something left over from when Hong Kong was a British territory.
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!
For an orchid that big you should research how to trim them and they’ll bloom again. I’ve had small ones I trimmed rebloom. They’re my favorite flower, right before Lillies. They’re gorgeous!
I feel like you’ve adjusted so well to motherhood. Could you maybe do a video talking about how you’re finding it? Like what’s unexpected about it, how does it feel to have this new identity
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) 💕💕
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 said it was a quiet time, but it looked so bright with so many people on the streets celebrating, shopping and visiting shrines. That line to get into the temple was SO long, wonder how many hours it took Tom to enter!
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 ^^
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🫶🏼 💞
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!!
It's always amazing to see how fast Levi grows 😱 I love to see how you celebrate chinese new year and the traditions! Thanks for sharing!! Greetings from Austria 🇦🇹
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!
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!

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

Happy Chinese New Year of the Rabbit, Miss Taylor.🧧🐇
Happy New Year Jerome! Thank you for your support always 🙏🏻
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 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 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!

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!
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!
Ohh my heart! Levi feeding himself is the cutest thing ever!💞
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.
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!❤
His hair looks so light in color

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.
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!!
Levi is so aware and inquisitive.Good job mom and dad both!

Levi is absolutely precious - such a blessing!
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.

I hope Tom appreciates how much you embrace his culture 💕
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!
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!
For the fact the both you and tom have separate million dollar net worths yall literally just act like normal people going to normal places and I love it
Also so glad Tom got some videos of the temple ❤❤❤
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
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.
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.
Lunar new year taytay vids are my FAV! love how you get into the meanings behind everything! we love an educational moment!
This is lovely, u r doing great with the language division, I speak to my kids in Spanish, whe their dad was here he use to speak to them in Chinese, he left years ago but, I continue teaching them Spanish and a what I can of Chinese, mostly the writing part as my pronunciation isn't good and I don't want to teach them wrong, outside they use italian as we live in Italy and it's hard sometimes but it help them to learn both languages so no problem 👌
This year, as always, we celebrated also the chinese new year, I wish I could take them to China for this holiday, as here it's so different and myself, being alone, I find it difficult to make more, so I just make what I can, we prepare jaozi, we make noodles, we buy lot of fruits, the "lucky ones", we make paper craft, hand made decorations and J prepare the hongbao.

i love watching these festive vlogs every year. There's something so charming about lunar newyears to me
this is so wholesome i am a mixed asian (italian vietenamese) and watching this just brings back childhood memories of growing up mixed :)
The peach blossom and pot are beautiful! It’s so wonderful seeing you so happy as a mother ❤
I used to always have orchids on my desk. The Korean grocers on Second Avenue in NYC used to sell them for $5 per bouquet. This was 40 years ago.
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 🙏💌🤩🙏
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! ❤️❤️

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?
wow I never knew the meaning behind the tray. I appreciate my mom putting it together so much more now.
Truly beautiful I love the Chinese New Year traditions and decor it’s all so beautiful and magical
Don’t throw out your orchid after new year!
For most orchid species, ideal growing conditions follow exposure to fairly warm temp (tropical epiphytes), high humidity, and indirect sunlight for the majority of the day. I usually water my indoor babies once every 2 weeks in winter (supplement with grow light to encourage continuous blooms) and once a week (or more depending on temp and whether I transition them to being outdoors) in summer. Also work in a period of gradual exposure (usually a week or so trending to greater exposure) when/if transitioning to different external conditions/pressures. Remember, orchids don’t like their feet wet. If you repot or split a plant, make sure you get a pot that just fits (or is slightly smaller than the size of the root ball, no bigger). There are many growing medium mixes available, but the mix I’ve had the most success with is 2/3 conifer bark, 1/3 perlite, and 1/3 extrusive igneous rock (pumice or basalt). Compost tea is an excellent amendment to start as spring approaches.
Hope this helps. Happy gardening!
Levi will break a lot of hearts when he is grown up. Such a cute boy
Taylor, I lived for many years in Hong Kong and just moved away last year…. Your videos keep those wonderful HK memories alive and give me such a warm feeling. Thanks for sharing your life with us 🥰
Fun fact about the Chinese sacred lily. In Sweden we call them easter lilies and we buy them for our house around easter. 💛💛💛
I was just in Las Vegas for a homebuilders convention. Caesars Palace was decked out for Chinese new year! Also, all around Las Vegas they had little bubbles you could buy for the year of the rabbit.
You are my favorite RUclipsr ever, Taylor! ❤️😍 And you are so beautiful, and Levi is so cute! 😍
I hope you have a really wonderful, great, amazing and happy life, Taylor, with Tom, Levi and Rosie. 🤗😘
Rosie's little grumble for you to put her down was so cute!! 🥰
The flowers and trees are gorgeous and breathtaking.
First time seeing your videos and I love your baby…is super cute. OMG I loveee the Chinese outfit. I see the historical series with all those incredible dresses on men and woman. Beautiful culture. You need to see the serie Eternal Love with Mark Chao is an excellent actor.
I LOVE the photos they take of Rosie after she gets her hair cut
In the UK we have play groups very similar to what you described, and parents take their babies and toddlers to them before they go to nursery. It might be something left over from when Hong Kong was a British territory.
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!
A real testament to the dedication of Tom is that line into the temple.
For an orchid that big you should research how to trim them and they’ll bloom again. I’ve had small ones I trimmed rebloom. They’re my favorite flower, right before Lillies. They’re gorgeous!
I love seeing all these traditions for the Chinese New Year, such a beautiful celebration!
I feel like you’ve adjusted so well to motherhood. Could you maybe do a video talking about how you’re finding it? Like what’s unexpected about it, how does it feel to have this new identity
Glad to see the traditional culture is keeping up. Wish you a happy new year Taylor！😊🎉
Levi is sooooooooooooo big ! His little personality is blooming! How is he almost 1?! Time is flying
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 really want to travel to a country that celebrate Lunar New Year and experience it for myself one day ❤
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 said it was a quiet time, but it looked so bright with so many people on the streets celebrating, shopping and visiting shrines. That line to get into the temple was SO long, wonder how many hours it took Tom to enter!
All of the plants and flowers are soooo stunning 😭 I'd stare at them all day
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 ^^
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🫶🏼 💞
You're a lovely family, Levi is gorgeous and growing so fast!
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.
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!!
Oh, I miss New Years in Hong Kong. It is so festive this time of year! Happy New Years, everyone. :)
Thank you for always making a point to share Chinese traditions and culture with us!
What a cutie pie, sweet natured curious boy!He has your long legs!Going to be tall...🥰💜Happy Chinese New Year
Thank you for explaining the traditions and meanings behind the plants and foods. Love the festivities!
I just love how your son looks like both of you. He is so cute!
Taylor's vlogs are not only entertaining but also educational!
I feel like a part of the family with these videos Taylor
It's always amazing to see how fast Levi grows 😱 I love to see how you celebrate chinese new year and the traditions! Thanks for sharing!!
Greetings from Austria 🇦🇹
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!
Loved hearing about the Chinese New Year traditions and seeing Hong Kong.
The flowers are beautiful
" I want another baby! So that's good!" Another angel like Levi? No way 🥺🥺❤
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!
