What a treat for us on Thanksgiving in the US, a new video! ❤️

[@kijxy]

Happy thanksgiving ❤

Oh I'm touched by the kisses at the end. Just goes to show your bond and appreciation of each other's efforts. Lovely how you set off with one child when I first watched your videos and now you have 3. Such a blessing which money can't buy...

[@amyschneidhorst1384]

This apartment was a foothold in your new country and a haven when you most needed it. I hope this new apartment gives you the stability and space as you continue to.grow as a family...

[@amyschneidhorst1384]

Thank you for sharing about your plans to immigrate. You had been in my thoughts and I had anticipated that might be your next step. Your next apartment sounds very practical for you for all the important reasons. You will make it suit you with your personal touches to make it more homey for however long you need it. Your nomadic reality reminds me of my own when I spent many years with 1 year contract jobs. I have every confidence in your ability to land on your feet.

[@jj-if6it]

they've had many apartments in Georgia

[@amyschneidhorst1384]

Good point. But they've lived in it the longest, from what Victoria said.

[@hallohallo1332]

That was lovely. Bye bye to the house with the beautiful view. It's been a pleasure.

[@archivist68]

Little Mark is as happy a personality as his dad! Thank you for a great video!

[@minime7375]

I was thinking when I read your comment that Tolya is the opposite of the Russian stereotype - the stoic, fatalist, serious Russian man. Physically he looks as Russian as they go but he’s so happy and upbeat all the time😊

[@junesawyet4539]

What a beautiful little baby boy . So happy and chilled 😌. You are such a beautiful family xx ❤️ ❤

[@icicle8384]

Agatha is literally the cutest child ever. How adorable, well behaved, curious, creative she is.

[@laurenk88pa]

Great video! I will miss those windows, light and view!! Definitely appreciate not wanting all those steps!!! Looking forward to seeing your new home!

[@joyl7559]

What a nice moment of affection between all of you at the end.

[@kijxy]

I’m thankful for these videos on thanksgiving ❤

[@diba412]

It's fun listening to you talk...I love the way you care for your family and I love how tolya grabs your face and kisses you and your little girl does the same❤❤❤it's such a beautiful scene a family eating together at the table...that's what life is all about❤❤❤

The view from your apartment is absolutely stunning!

[@michellebevans3847]

Hello from Canada! Always love your videos. So calming, relaxing and sweet.I just adore you and your little family 🥰

[@jennjeffs4893]

I am opposite of you, i am so thankful i don't have to move again. In my adult life i have only moved 3 times. One of those times i was 8 months pregnant. The house im in now, i did rent for several years before buying. Renting in America is a nightmare in most areas, sky high prices for awful apartments/houses, very few allow pets or charge huge pet fees. Many people have become homeless because they can't find anything affordable or landlords don't want kids or animals. I may hate moving but its fun to watch your adventures. I love & adore ur family so much!!!! Much love from America ❤!!!

[@katelovescattledogs]

The windows in this place are so stunning. I hope your next home is so bright and airy looking. Wishing you all the very best from Ohio.

[@agathacoutinho585]

I love see the way you transform every house that you moved in into a home. No matter where you live, you always make looks like s home, a place that I wish to go, peaceful and warm 💖 good wishes to your new journey 🙏🏻

[@cherylgoff8955]

❤ I absolutely love the view in this apartment and the wonderful light that comes in through the windows! I will miss it but I understand wanting or having to move❤

[@lilysm222]

I am from the U.S. and I always get so happy when I see your videos. You are an amazing person! Your family is lucky to have you 💕

[@MarjorieBurns-gu9tf]

I love your videos and always look forward to them! The meal you prepared looks delicious, and I am going to try to make it myself. Agatha asked so politely not to have herbs on her plate, and she is so helpful in the kitchen! I cannot believe she is 5 already! The music you selected is so calming. What a wonderful blessing in life it is to be a wife and mother, a husband and father!! Thank you for your videos! 🙂

[@debbiepowell2036]

Hello from California🦃😊 thank you for posting! Such a Blessing! May your move and new home be blessed!

[@rebeccabrown1213]

The new baby is so darn cute! I love your vacuum cleaner, the food looked delish and the churchy music was so calming.

[@nanagram13]

It is Thanksgiving Day here in the US and was thankful to see a new video from you. The new apartment with a much shorter commute for Toyla and an elevator sounds wonderful. Yes, we will all miss the views but the practicality is worth it. As always, prayers for your health and welfare.

[@1958RBS]

Another delightful glimpse into your lovely family life; loved the end, so perfectly peaceful. Good luck with the move.

[@VaidaBU]

Vika! Thank you for letting us see the glimpse of your life, I honestly don‘t know how you do it all! I adore your family vlogs and love your recipies and always try to recreate them. This looks delicious, can‘t wait to try!😍

[@lindaa.5740]

My heart melted when Tolya spontaneously took your head in his loving hands and kissed you in appreciation for the beautiful meal you prepared. Thank you for sharing your beautiful family life. Will miss the amazing view from your windows. Best of luck in your new home! 🏠 💕🙏

[@carolburns8778]

I love your videos! I get so motivated to clean & organize my home! I love your commentaries & your explanations of how it is to live & rent properties & especially doing that while you show how you clean & organize❤

[@WR5RR]

Very comforting video! Lot's of family values.

[@brandylou9132]

I, too, love the windows in your apartment. I hope the benefits of your new place outweigh missing them. There is such a peace in your home. Agatha is a sweet, helpful little girl. You have done such a good job raising her. Baby is getting big too fast!! Bless you, and your precious family as you go through all these changes and challenges in your lives Thank you for sharing with us!❤

Thanks for your honesty and insight, Vikka! You and your family are amazing and blessed. 😊

[@Woeschhuesli]

Very different in Switzerland. About 2/3 of the population rents and almost all the apartments or houses are rented empty, but including kitchen with cooker, hob, fridge-freezer and maybe dishwasher (in Germany you often have to bring your own kitchen), and there is usually a cellar compartment for storage, and either your own washing machine or a communal washer/dryer and drying room, plus usually one or two car parking spaces. Furnished apartments are really rare except where there are a lot of foreigners on short contracts. We have had trouble renting out two furnished apartments until we found people who are good long-term renters. Apartments have by contract to be extremely clean when you leave (often professionally cleaned, as the landlords/agencies are super-picky) so when you move into a new place it‘s always spotless. Decor is usually neutral, white walls, wood or tiled floors, very little carpet any more, as it‘s hard to keep clean. Everywhere is central-heated. Renting is quite expensive, especially in cities, and you usually have 3 mths notice until you can leave your contract, the rules are very strict but it‘s efficient and works. But different countries have different cultures, I guess! Good luck with your move x

[@88kayleigh]

Sounds very similar to how it is in Canada! Almost all unfurnished and all major appliances included. Laws differ from each province but where I am tenants have to give one month notice to leave and landlords have to give usually 2-4 months notice to evict depending on the reason why.

[@jj-if6it]

Same as Australia, but we have to bring our own fridge

[@Woeschhuesli]

@@88kayleigh evicting anyone is really difficult, you can give a year‘s notice if you need the property yourself but otherwise, almost impossible 🫣 Strong renters‘ rights!

[@margaretlynch1494]

🙋‍♀️❤️. Chicken dish looks yummy. Your household has so many happy noises. You must be doing something very right! Can't wait to see your new place.

[@MissPatsyLane]

Thank you so much for sharing your family and life with us! Congratulations on the new home! 🎉

[@amyschneidhorst1384]

Merry Christmas to you and your family!

[@suewatt9672]

Again, so well done, Vica, and so relaxing. You get better and better at all you do, the pictures, the music, the quality. I look forward to seeing your new place and being near town will be so nice, so you can get food easier. Yes, that would be hard for me to have too much furniture and things I don't like the looks of as I am a minimalist too, and being artistic color means a lot to me. Also, the sofa type things that are not clean. I like to keep denim cloth over mine so I can wash it easy when I want to. Thank you for sharing your life with us. I feel I know you.

i'm so glad you're back again 💚 i've been watching your videos a long time now. My first one was when you presented the building block and apartment ☺ i cannot wait to see your new place now. Your videos look and feel so calm although i know in real isn't always like this, but you're a master at it. Much happiness in the new home 🫂🏡🌻

[@anastasiya8314]

I am right now currently making dinner at the exact same way like you are. I also have three babies but living in America we have so much and it’s crazy. The start contrast between the amount of material items that you have with the material items that we have Surrounding us in our house. Yet our lives are very similar. I even have the same green dress that you had in the beginning lol. I do strive to be more minimal, but it’s very difficult living in America and being minimal Because of relatives and gifts and the amount of things the kids bring from school and the equipment they need for sports And the amount of clothing that we have. Love your videos and your lifestyle!

[@christineboineau4093]

I was so happy you posted this today. I've been watching you a long time! I've enjoyed watching your family grow. I think it's great you are moving. My husband's old job was 25 miles from our house. The traffic is a nightmare. He'd leave at 6 am in order to beat the traffic. Sometimes coming home would take 2 hours. He changed jobs 2 years ago. He was so happy because it's less than 10 min from the house. Plus, it paid more. He still goes in at 6 to get things ready for his employees and get a start on the day. All of my rambling just to say your husband will be a lot happier not having long commutes. He will get home earlier and you will have more time together, and everyone will be happier! Thank you for sharing your life with us.❤

[@kerli_]

Thank you a lot for the dinner idea! Looking forward to more cooking videos ✨

Thank you for showing and explaining things in your life. I love watching and learning new things of different cultures. Can't wait to see the new place. Prayers for safe move and adjustments. Also stopped to pray for God's timing in the upcoming immigration process your family desires.

[@amandaice947]

Looks like I'm doing the same thing after the holiday in the US. But I'm packing up my large family and coming to the same city you're in! Thank you for sharing the info and experiences you have.

Thank you, Victoria for a glimpse into what it's like to "move" in Georgia. I'm looking forward to seeing the video of your new place. God bless you, Toyla and the kids.

[@brenicole89]

Thank you for the update! Wishing you the best of luck in your move and in your new home. You always put so much pride, creativity, and care into your homes and it is evident how much love you pour into each place you live. I'm sure you will miss your windows at this current apartment, I know that was a big winning factor! Hopefully your new home has great views as well. It sounds like it checks so many important boxes for your family, especially location and resources available. Thank you for sharing insight into the process of renting/moving in Georgia; very interesting. God bless and take care.

[@annehabermeier7523]

My husband is from Georgia and hes soon gonna come to Germany to live with me. Ive been trying to find an appartment for us which was kind of a hustle. Now Ive found one and slowly its growing to be more comfortable and cozy. Your video gave me a bit of the same vibe, thank you so much for that. I needed something calming after a lot of stress. Wish you all the best🧡

[@jvstcu76]

Your dinner looks delicious. I will be looking forward to seeing your new apartment and watching you get settled in to it. May God continue to Bless your sweet family.

What a beautiful glimpse into your life. I love your little growing family! We live in Georgia (USA) and have rented our entire lives…we have not only moved across the country a bunch…but we also move on average every 2 years. It’s a lot, but you inspire me to own even less as a family! Love your videos. Thank you for sharing.

Just loved those large windows with the wonderful view, but I understand that sometimes you have to look at other advantages. Hope all goes well with the move. Always love your videos!

I live in a quite cold and dark place with lots of rain and your videos are always bringing me some sun and light. Hope everything goes smoothly for you and you'll be happy in the new place 😊

[@laurapayne9254]

I watched you Ever since you left Russian and just left plates And Cabs in your sink. I was shocked I I knew you were very smart girl then they walked out were gone and I was very happy for you and now you have three little kids and I still delight in watching you.

[@nancys5547]

We are thankful to have your family in our KZbin lives! My eldest has moved 5 or 6 times in the last 3 years. Moving is tiring, and she does not allow anyone to help her pack. She was going to hire movers this last time, but it would have been $1,000-$2,000 just to go half way across the city, because she had to move everything down two flights of steps (extra cost). At least her new place has an elevator. (Yay!).

[@marseydotes2415]

Dear Vika, nice to spend time with you. You’re a lovely wife and mother. Obviously Tolya appreciates you very much. The children are blessed to have a lovely mother who’s focus is family life. God bless you and your beautiful family ❤❤❤❤❤

[@frugalhousewife9878]

This was a very interesting video, listening to you talk abiut living in apartments and moving in your area. Here in the US it is normal for an apartment to be completely unfurnished so I think people are more attached to their furniture and decorations etc. It does make moving more difficult though. We usually move in or out of an apartment on the 1st of the month. Sometimes you can't see the inside of an apartment beforehand because the tenant is still living there. Sometimes people have to pay for two apartments for a month because it takes them a while to move everything out of the old apartment and clean up. When I was little it was unusual to have students in my class coming or going, our class just stayed the same for a long time. But I think nowadays kids do enter or leave their class before/after the school year or even partway through the school year because they had to move, which is probably difficult for them but at least other kids are doing that too. It's hard to be the only new kid at school. I think here generally people have a goal never to move or not to have to move frequently. People want a house or to own an apartment/condo if possible. But if the housing market and inflatation keep going the same way here, I think it will become more common for young adults to live with their families for a long time rather than just moving out. It's really tough here if you're working class. Good luck on your move and I'm excited to see the new place! 🏢

[@eddiec4536]

The video was so interesting, but the end was the best when you received your reward as a wife and mother. On Thanksgiving Day from California. God bless your family.
