[@kate_700]

“I love you mom. You’re a really good person.” So sweet! I love the Alaska cabin series. Seldovia is such a gorgeous place. Blessings to you all!

[@ThisAlaskaLife]

He always makes sure I feel loved! Grateful to him!! Thank you so much for watching

[@leighscott1877]

We take fish eggs...batter them and fry. Of course they areBASS, crappie or catfish.

[@leighscott1877]

How do you afford to live in Alaska?

[@zoisiranidou5398]

The moment you said I’m ready to go home I completely felt you when we go to our beach house after a week at most I feel the same thing

[@ThisAlaskaLife]

Happy to go and always happy to come home!!! Thanks for watching

[@kayamo1632]

Oh my goodness! Thank you Lauren for showing this. You clearly show that I need to STOP complaining about our prices where we live. My annoyance with the problems in the supply chain need to stop as well. We are blessed.

[@ThisAlaskaLife]

Thank you so much for watching! I agree, it’s always good to step back and count our blessings for what we have! Have a wonderful day

[@janebain3402]

Wow how absolutely wonderful, you're boys are so mature and helpfull, and very independent, making meals, cooking, trying new thing's. Their wife's in the future are going to really appreciate yours and Mark's input for them to be independent and resourceful! AMAZING, and yes lots of family around is a blessing, you all rockx🇬🇧🌻🌹🌼💖🇬🇧

[@MariaCastro_Inanna]

You are a loving family! How I would love to be a part of it! Be an aunt, or a cousin! Smiling here! Thank you for sharing these simple yet so wonderful moments. Hugs from Lisbon, Portugal!

[@ThisAlaskaLife]

Thanks Maria!

[@amyburl3826]

I am learning so much from you, I love how you explain the prepping of the meals. You make it look so easy but we mothers know you’re above and beyond on what you make for your family. They are so blessed to have you. Mad skills momma 😊 🙌🏻 Dad rocks too 😄

[@spacekimono]

Your absolutely right, all moms know how much prep that takes!!!

[@jenniferkleine4713]

Probably my favorite video! The eagles, the food, the kids...Simple life, living with a beautiful family. You work so hard and you can tell all your boys, Mark included, appreciate you. God is good!

[@annettewalter2273]

What treasures your children are, not afraid to tell you they love you. You do such an excellent job showing us the price comparisons. Your cabin is a wonderful place to have for holidays and going off grid.

[@MrZzToOoFlyY]

You yelled “dinner five minutes” and then my oven beeped right then 😂 perfect timing, I am amazed that your children just eat pretty much everything. They are also so sweet, the “mom I love you, you’re a good person” was just the cutest.

[@VickiMcCormick-jf5pe]

How adorable is westy? What an honor for your child to say ,and think that way. My heart melted

[@bridgetgreene2457]

So enjoyed all your meals at the cabin ... it all looked good ! The Eagles were so cool to watch !! Thank you for sharing your trip to the cabin !!

[@ThisAlaskaLife]

You’re welcome! Glad you enjoyed coming along!

[@cathylewey5790]

I just love Luna. She has so much personality. I cannot have cats but if I could I would search for another Luna!

[@sweetcaroline6724]

Lauren this the best video ever...I felt like I spent the week with you...You put so much work in for us as well as being the best mom and wife xo

[@ThisAlaskaLife]

Thank you so much Caroline! That is the best compliment, I’m glad you felt like you spent time with the family! Have a wonderful day!

[@nataliemccance3337]

Those fish prints in the background look so good!

[@ThisAlaskaLife]

Those will be part of Mark’s video soon! They were really fun!

[@marcellahicks3984]

I noticed those too. Can't wait to see

[@shellypasqualetto2742]

Loved the videos your fish sandwich 🥪 made my mouth water. Such great family memories ❤️ and yes indoor plumbing 😆 🤣

[@spacekimono]

Your so sweet how you care for your family mama!!! What amazing meals... you did good!

[@ChumStun]

Thanks for sharing these videos with us. The more I watch I’m realizing how unique each of your boys are. Hunter is such a guys-guy, the sports, fishing, grilling outside, hanging with dad. Bennets over there chatting with the neighbors, experimenting inside the kitchen, his frequent use of math with the cooking and pricing.. and then there’s Weston. I know parents don’t have favorites but us outsiders can, Weston is a gem, he’s so sweet the way he kept saying thank you had me melting, and he’s so brave the way he always is up for the challenge with the big boys. Everett is precious, he’s got five wonderful influences around him, it’s gonna be fun to see how he starts to evolve into his big kid self soon. Oh and Luna, I can’t forget the daughter you deserve, purrfect in every way!

[@Jennifer62389]

Mom's jobs never end even on vacation, you have such a good attitude.🥰

[@ThisAlaskaLife]

Yes, just momming in a different location! Thanks for watching!

[@froggy0165]

I've enjoyed watching these adventures, watched the boys derby fishing too.

[@cindyjarskey3931]

Lauren, no no no lol. Octopus, Salmon eggs. I love how your boys love food all kinds. I don't eat anything weird lol. The eagles were awesome. It's a lot of work but you are a great mom and making many memories. You deserve a girlfriend night out and a spa day. Love your energy

[@lauren6705]

Bennett's face with the caviar 😅 but kudos to him for sticking it out when he looked like he wanted to spit it out.

[@ThisAlaskaLife]

It was all his idea! I love that he wants to try new things. They were just way too salty

[@kaybay6236]

That fish sandwich looked soo good!!!!

[@anniecrawford5911]

I find it so amazing how all of you work together to gather & prepare such delicious food directly from the earth. Very interesting. Such a rich exciting life. Thank you so much for sharing this with all of us. May God continue to bless all of you. 💐

[@susanhickman1746]

I enjoyed all the fresh fish meals that are totally foreign to anything I’ve ever had. It’s great that your family has such interesting pallets. You’ve figured out ways to tackle all kitchen type tasks in such a small kitchen area and without running water. Love watching your family interact and live in such a small space.

[@brilliantbutblue]

Weston: l love your Mum also and she is a really good person ❤

[@ThisAlaskaLife]

Thanks friend! My Weston always makes sure I feel loved!

[@mariegraham2883]

I’m a new watcher……this is my favorite video yet! Your boys are sooo lucky!

It’s fascinating to see how you manage those meals…simple, but nutritious and looks yummy…all but the salmon eggs🤣

[@ThisAlaskaLife]

Agreed! They were something different to try but the recipe needed some tweaking for sure!!

[@janeshannon2449]

No wonder you meal prepped so much. That seemed like a lot of work, your a rock star.

[@crystalpowell44]

So cool that your able to see all the eagles. Loved this series!

Thank you so much for sharing this with us today! Super interesting vlog for those who live totally polar opposite lives. Lots of love from Canada ❤️🇨🇦

[@paulinemaclellan8204]

The cabin looks like a lot of work for you Lauren but it is beautiful. I would love a big family but we are a small one...we welcomed a beautiful wee girl into the family on 4th July. My niece Claire gave birth to Mia, a precious wee sister for Ben. She's lovely, so smiles and happiness all round for the Fordyce/Goldup and MacLellan clans. Thankyou for sharing your wonderful Alaska Life with us xx

[@LeilanisJourney]

Enjoyed seeing all the different meals and showing their grocery store.

[@kaydublin5164]

Absolutely loved this video, it’s a little rustic for me, but the wildlife and you guys catching fresh fish and octopus was awesome.

[@ThisAlaskaLife]

It’s a special place but I can understand how it wouldn’t be for everyone! I have come to love it for it’s simple charms. Thanks for watching!

[@soniaheard5685]

My grandmother use make kind of pie when I was little .

Love that memory!

Wow you are my hero! what a great and happy mom you are. and your food and cooking videos always makes me hungry :-)) thanks for always sharing with us! LG (Liebe Grüße/greetings) from Germany

[@cindydaniel6125]

Loved seeing the food. I love me a good fillet o fish sandwich. Yours looked a 100 times better...and no cheese on yours. Thanks fir sharing your adventures.

[@AlaskaBoys]

Having NEVER eaten one at McDonald’s, we didn’t know we were supposed to add a slice of American cheese. 🤔 interesting. Maybe next time.

[@cindydaniel6125]

@@AlaskaBoys they are very basic..fish cheese and tartar sauce...yours were much better and way healthier..

[@marcellahicks3984]

"The MAC DADDY". THOSE LOOKED AWESOME, if only, dare we dream. What a quick quiet date eating your crumble. So sweet... what a Cooking Adventure. It would be hard to pick a favorite it all looked so good. The Eagle Cam was amazing. You are right you had prime entertainment. Pretty soon you will have names for them. Yum!!

[@ThisAlaskaLife]

The neighbors that live in Seldovia full time do have names for some of the eagles! Glad you enjoyed all the feasting!

[@leekorten1791]

Watching the eagles on the beach was spectacular, it great that you take from nature what you need and give the rest back to the wildlife. The little shop had a wonderful variety of things, and yes the prices are high but it must cost a absolute fortune to get it there. Luna was telling us all about how you abandoned her 😄. Great video, have a wonderful week 💞

[@gildaduval8842]

Fantastic enjoyed your vlog so much I was amazed at what you both made in such a small space hats off too you give my love too all the family and Luna xxx

Loved the footage with the eagle eating the fish.

[@janmckee7719]

That was cool watching the kids make those pies in the stove

[@NayStouffer]

You have the cabin cooking down to perfection. A lot of planning and prep before you go I’m sure. Creative meals, and treats. I wish I liked fish because your meals looked delicious. Watching the eagles was very cool to see. Your trip looks like it was so fun!

Loved watching all your cabin adventures and awesome food! Looks like everyone had a fantastic trip!

[@mimi0424]

Your boys are the sweetest 💗 I really like how you talked to him about taking taking a half of sandwich 🥪 & if he was still hungry he could have more..thats teaching them sooo much! these are things most people would just waste the sandwich..not anymore! food is too expensive to waste. you have awesome parenting skills! I love how your are w your boys! Let me say that stew and grilled cheese looked delicious! if you're at home and making it try the oven. you really don't need to flip it sometimes I do..but it's the best. most buttery..perfectly cooked grilled cheese PLUS you can make everyone's at once....and I like your pizza idea on the grill! you can get 2 reusable grill mats under the brand VILA for $3.91 w prime..just passing that on

[@evangelisttamarmichelle3512]

Nourishing the family. LOVE IT! Wish I could have a piece of that fresh Salmon.

[@DD-ee2nv]

What a beautiful view from the cabinet. I would build a more modern cabin. It would be worth it, having such a beautiful location.

You have a beautiful family.I I love a big Family we had 3 boys and a girl so much fun.

[@janicerobertson4752]

This was so interesting! It is amazing what we can make do with. I have to admit the octopus was a little more then I could imagine eating. The fresh salmon looked so delicious. I have never had a fish sandwich but I sure will try one now. 😋

[@elaineparker6986]

Saffron comes from the crocus flower... The cabin looked like fun, but like you a bathroom and my bed etc are needed at the end of the day!

I stumbled across your series last week and I just love it...and your gorgeous boys. I visited Alaska back in 2018 and fell in love with every aspect of Alaska. We did the 7 days wilderness and 7 days sea package (called "off the beaten track). Oh my goodness !!!! Ate moose for the first time (YUM), and my goodness me, you haven't had great salmon until you've had fresh Alaska salmon ... 🤤🤤🤤. Such a different lifestyle in Alaska. Take care beautiful family. Love from Australia 🇦🇺 ❤🇦🇺

I love these videos. Looks like a great time, but we can all appreciate what you do to make the time there special. ☺

[@jaimedill5034]

A suggestion for the pudgie pies, after buttering the pie irons sprinkle some cinnamon in the melted butter. Also, we love using Pillsbury flaky biscuits instead of bread when we make pudgie pies, whether savory or sweet, while camping.

[@ginac9008]

What an amazing video Lauren the food you serve your family is amazing. The mosquitoes we call mozzies in Australia are such pesky little things. To see the eagles so close is stuff dreams are made of, and not to mention the fresh fish and octopus made my mouth water. The children far better off eating those amazing fish burgers than yucky McDonald’s any day.

[@carolyngregory9354]

I’m enjoying watching your channel. I love Alaska.

[@meka5815]

Thank you for sharing your meals. It’s so nice to have the freshest of the fresh fish. I was wondering how you caught octopus, so cool. If only Mark’s fish filet were sold at McDonald’s, I would be there everyday. Your boys are lucky to have never tried one from there, lol. Take care ☺️
