I’m so happy you had a chance to meet Becky. I love her channel too. I hope you had a good break, you’ve been go go go for a long while with Violet being in hospital and back and forth.
Looks like you had fun bet you miss the family. Congratulations on your son’s first place win.
Way to go Bennett!!!
So happy you had a great time. You deserve it. I sometimes wish I could get away for a few days but I don’t have anyone to watch over my kids. Single dad life is hectic but I love it. They are my world.
Good for you lauren
Question….🤔🤔.
When Americans say eating cookie dough..do you actually mean you eat the raw uncooked mixture when making a batch of cookies or as we call them biscuits????. This can't be so…😮😮😮😮. Am I missing something?. Never heard of this before. 😂😂😂😂😂
Congratulations Bennett!!! Not surprised at all that you won the race. Definitely built for running. 🎉
you should buy one of those giant connect 4 games and the giant Jenga games to have at the cabin. I bet all the kids would love it, and probably even the adults.
Whohooo- love that you and Becky met!!!
I forgot about the curl cream 😂 I’ll meet up with you eventually and get it haha! I’m so glad we went and can’t wait for next year
I just love you and your family. I really do. I am 61, handicapped and live alone. Your videos help keep me from being lonely. You help fill up my life. Thank you and God bless you!
Hey cutie pie. Could you let me know about Matt's taffy. I'm from Utah, but never heard of the place he is from. I don't get out much lol. Would like to help support him.
I love Becky too!
Lauren, I can't imagine there's anything you could learn at the conference that would make your channel better. It is always so good. I'm glad you got a break, though. Yay for Bennett!
Ohhh! So happy for and happy for Bennet!
Way to go Bennett! Love your channel
You shoulda got the ramen !! It’s so good 🎉
You need to try Canadian maple syrup….best in the world. We supply well over 70% of syrup in the world. Delish!!
Lauren, the plum cut yes it’s plum and apricot together married
Keto and protein puffs are disgusting yes
Love to see all the candy. Love from New Zealand
Be sure to read the ingredients for the water bottle
I like when you compare prices to AK ones. Way to go Bennett!!
I knew you were in my neck of the woods when I saw El Fenix ❤
Just curious, buy why is food shopping in the US so expensive? I live in the UK and must admit our prices have gone sky high – but no way near as expensive as the states. In a way I understand why the prices are higher in Alaska (as they need to ship all the products much further away) but as a whole your supermarkets are so expensive compared to ours here in the UK. Sending you and your family love from Nottingham (home of Robin Hood)
I live in North Richland Hills a suburb of Fort Worth Texas hope you had fun El Fenix is a great restaurant I grew up eating at a mall in Fort Worth did they went to Grapevine and clothes that one down in the closest one is 30 minutes away from me in Irving Texas but I can't get it delivered how did a Texas girl end up in Alaska
yr flowered blouse is so pretty where did u get it lauren???
I have a Trader Joes near me.wish we had an Aldi’s !
yeslove becky she is awesome she whips up so much food its amazing where does she get the energy i have that to at least i used to
I ALSO pack a suitcase in a suitcase when I go to Texas to visit my friends!!! It's a MUST DO!! 😊
Looks like it was fun!
You need to eat a hamburger on a pretzel bun! The buns are soooo delicious. No Aldi’s where I live.
Thanks but not watching something I can't respond to or even purchase around
Nothing wrong with getting advice on being a better youtuber but Lauren you are an amazing youtuber. Love watching your vlogs🎉
That was a great video, looking forward to part 2. A wonderful few days learning from fellow YouTube creators, meeting Becky from Acre Homestead was a bonus. She is such a talented, wonderful person whose videos inspire me.
The boys are going to love all the fun treats and goodies from your Swag bag. Thank goodness for your extra baggage allowance.
Bye for now 🌸
Aldi is good. We have one here. Love Trader Joe's too.
As a Canadian; the maple cookies being in the seasonal section made me laugh, they’re sold year round here 😅
Congratulations Bennett! 🎉
Welcome to Texas
I recently was in the USA and we dont have Aldi or Trader joes either. Except the blessing of being in alaska versus canada… you dont have any dollar limit to bring anything home from stores you go to. I was not impressed with Aldi. I had seen so many videos on it and they had some things, but it was okay. Trader joes I feel like it depends on the location. Ive seen good trader joes and I've been to not so good trader joes.
Lauren…Such a good video. Always great to recharge. I’m sure your family missed you. Glad you got to meet Becky from Acre Homestead…she’s one of my favs!! Nice treats for the kids…can’t wait for see part 2!
In Australia we call those peaches..donut peaches.
When I visit USA from Brisbane Australia I love going to trader joes x
I really enjoyed you taking us along on your trip!
Fun trip for you!! Yes Becky from Acre Homestead is one my regular you-tubers like you are. Woohoo! for your kids!!
Congrats to Bennett! I also watch Becky with Acre Homestead. I love to watch her and her mom cook. I make charcuterie boards and Aldi is a great place to buy things to put on the boards. Safe travels back home!
If you stayed there again, with or even without kids, I’d ask for all alcohol to be removed from the room & fridge!
Go Bennett. Congratulations. Lauren your trip looks amazing. Glad you had a good time.
i like the way she shows everything tells you the price and is very clear in her speech'
We are currently getting our local aldi built!
Glad to see you have fun glad you Becky and you got to meet
