Penny is so adorable! She reminds me of Lily when she was little! Awwwww. Sorry you are poorly, Laura! Thank you for all of your honest sharing! I appreciate it and understand!
I am an older lady who has struggled with anxiety for years, can I just say thank you are genuinely lovely and to keep it real is heartwarming.sending virtual hugs and love , so proud of you
Hope you are able to rest and feel better soon. As for your sharing about your social anxiety. I understand exactly what you were saying and how you were feeling. My daughter (18) and I both struggle with anxiety. Especially social anxiety. It can be very overwhelming at times. It is not easy to share those feelings with people who haven't experienced anything like that. Thank you for sharing with us.
Hope you feel better soon. Penny was adorable as an angel in her play 👼🏻 I loved her cheeky wee tongue trying to lick the chocolate when she wasn’t supposed to 😂
I’m sorry you’re sick! Prayers for feeling better very soon! Penny is an angel! For sure! That sweet voice of hers and that little face are priceless! And the way she pushes her hair back from her face while she’s singing is so wonderful! As I’ve said before, you’re Vlogmass is my favorite one, as it’s honest, fun, informative, and genuinely REAL! Thank you! ❤️🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🎅🏻🎄🤶🏻❄️⛄️
I'm taking time for myself after the holidays and catching up on my favorite vlogmas's. As someone who isn't neurodivergent and doesn't suffer from depression, yours is the first one I want to watch.🎄💗
I too want to thank you for your honesty and for being so open about your anxiety. To make the world a safer space for everyone we need people like you, brave people who show others we're not alone in our struggles.
Penny was fabulous!! Made me very nostalgic remembering when my twins were that age! I hope you get some rest and that you feel better soon. I don’t care if you sniffle or sound hoarse, I just want you to get well quickly so you can enjoy the rest of the holiday season. 💜🎄
I want to add my gratitude for having YOU in my space here on Whidbey Island in Washington state. Your growth is so apparent as you work with your therapist and share with all of us. There is so much acceptance and love in our knitting community. Bless you and your sweet family. ❤️🧶❤️
I think we should all be thanking you for sharing with us, it's super scary to share your feelings and anxieties with strangers. Sending all the love. I know that spicy food helps with colds, when I was sick as a child my mom would give us cinnamon tea with pepper flakes and load us up with orages and broth. Her formula was: spice, salt, and vitamin C, our colds would clear up faster, so I think your on to something with the spicy ramen. Penny is such a natural performer. I hope your cold clears up.
Thank YOU for being so brave and being honest about your anxiety. Having more brave humans like yourself talking about the daily struggles normalizes it! Mental health is so important❤. Love the ramen it looks delicious!
Laura, your Vlogmas has brought such joy in my life this holiday season🎄💛 Thank you for being open and honest with us🙌💫 I can relate with so much of what you are experiencing and it is refreshing to see strong women share and bare it all. You're a true GEM💖 Keep taking good care of yourself🧶
Get better soon! Penny is adorable- great performer! I smile every time your blog starts with your kids sweet voices wishing us “Merry Christmas everybody”! ❤❤
Just wanted to say I love you so much. As a new podcaster, I was very nervous about putting myself out there authentically. But our community is so caring and always come thru for us. It brings me so much joy to spend time with you while I knit and you chat. God Bless, feel better soon. ❤xo
Oh Laura...I'm crying here with you. Your openness and willingness to share is to be highly commended. You have opened my mind and made me realise that all my life I have struggled not understanding why everyone else loves parties while I find them so hard... I feel disconnected. I so understand how you feel just thinking about going to a party or gathering of any kind. It's a bit late in my life to worry about a diagnosis but just knowing in my own mind that there is a real reason for why I feel the way I do is strangely comforting. It goes much further than just parties but this is just one example. Smells, textures, patterns, counting things..... The list goes on.... Oh Penny...what a star....thank you for that beautiful rendition of Angels at the end..... You brought a big smile back to my face... ❤ Much love to you and yours. Hope you feel better soon Laura X
Your episode 12 was the first video of yours I came came across, and wow!! As someone who hates Christmas parties and gatherings of more than 2 people, I could so relate to your anxiety and was so impressed with your authenticity in your video. I immediately subscribed and have been watching regularly, including some back episodes! I hope you're feeling better soon. I am loving your vlogmas - thank you for taking the time to record when you're not feeling so well. Jen xx (Your children are gorgeous! My two are grown up, one with a new little one this year).
Laura, thanks a lot for sharing your anxiety problems. I can understand better what my 24-year-old daughter says when she feels anxious, and I tell her what you say you don't want to hear, i.e. get over it!... I 've never had this issue, and I've truly found it difficult to relate to her, but now I see it is something real. So grateful! Take care!
Sorry to hear you're not feeling well. I hope that you feel better soon. I love the little slice of internet you have cultivated, it's so cozy and inviting. I look forward to your videos and seriously can not thank you enough for the enjoyment I get from them. Your videos make me feel like I'm not alone. The advice you give is so helpful and genuine that it feels like it's coming from a friend. I'm going to be a bit sad when Vlogmas is over, but thank you for all of your hard work, I look forward to tomorrow. Congratulations, Penny! Your song was beautiful 💖
Ham on Christmas Eve is the Swedish way! I usually bank on producing what we like of the Swedish Christmas meal on Christmas Eve, British roast dinner on Christmas Day . . . And leftovers for days!
Idk about everyone else but YOUR vlogmas is my favorite along with MaressaMade so don't doubt yourself! You're doing an amazing job. Thank you for sharing with us, it's encouraging to know I'm not the only one struggling this time of year. 🥰
Hope you feel better. When my kids were much smaller it would go around us like wildfire Have a wonderful weekend. Just remember you are not alone in regards Depression and anxiety. Have been diagnosed many years ago. You can’t help how you feel. I take medication and it has done wonders. I t is an illness that no one can understand. Sue from Ontario Canada
Hope you feel much better soon, Penny was so great and I closed my eyes for the lucky penny, promise! 😁 Am enjoying your vlogmas very much, I moved back to Australia last year after 10 years in the UK and am missing a winter Christmas, your videos are a lovely way to experience it a little. Thanks for your honesty as well, had a bit of a stress recently over an outfit for a friends event and felt like I’d let her down - wouldn’t wish it on others but your bread sauce story gave me a fellow feeling which was nice! Your hard work is much appreciated, as well as the example of looking after yourself when needed. 👍❤️
I definitely recommend making your own bread sauce. I grew up with my Mum making it every year from an old Delia recipe. You start by simmering onion and cloves in warm milk and it makes the house smell amazing. I do this every Christmas myself now and Christmas Day isn’t the same unless I get that smell! Give it a try next year!
I don’t often comment but I love watching all your podcasts. Enjoy your Christmas with your lovely family and I hope you can rest and get your sparkle back very soon 🤗
I agree on the ramen, my husband has become obsessed with making it from scratch, which is excellent news for me 😂 And I need to know, what on earth is bread sauce? I’m a bit of an Anglophile and my best friend lived in Scotland and England for 18 years, so I’m usually familiar with things that English people talk about, but I’ve never heard of bread sauce and I’m very curious!!
Loving your vlogs - plenty of rest and get yourself lots of hugs from your little people - that usually worked and still works for me even though mine at 34 and 27 🤣 take care x
Penny is so adorable! She reminds me of Lily when she was little! Awwwww.
Sorry you are poorly, Laura! Thank you for all of your honest sharing! I appreciate it and understand!
I was watching lily talk about the things you’d made and thought ‘aw I hope P is this lovely when she grows up!!’ Xxx

It’s literally a sauce made from bread 🤣 I think it’s stale breadcrumbs and milk mainly with seasonings stuff. It’s… interesting… but people love it!
That sounds like... something 😂 @@_laurapenrose_
She is such a little sweetie!! Hope you feel better!! 💕💕
Your daughter is adorable. Hope you feel better soon.
