Christmas Shopping with My Mom! 🥰🎄 // Garden Answer

[@canadiangirl5159]

I went to a garden center today. In a snow suit, big winter boots, mitts and a warm fur hat. The entrance door was frozen shut and the exit door wouldn't stay closed, so the green house was full of steam from the -40 Celsius wind chill outside, entering and mixing with the warm damp greenhouse environment inside. I bought a lemon cypress that was almost 3 feet tall for my mom for Christmas. I had to get it quickly to my car. The greenhouse wrapped it up and I brought a towel to cover it. I have no idea how they keep it warm enough inside for all the plants, when it's so ridiculously cold outside. But warmer weather is coming. Supposed to be 5 Celsius/41F on Monday. That's a plant lovers life in Alberta.

“See? We made the excellent thing!” That’s exactly how I feel when a brand new recipe turns out well. Benjamin is so sweet! I love that he said that. 💕

Love this. Laura you are so lucky and I know you are grateful. Your family closeness is amazing. When you were talking about going shopping with your dad every year it made me teary eyed. My dad died when I was 4 and I’m 62 now. What I would have loved to make memories. Enough of the gloom . Merry Christmas to you and Aaron and your beautiful children and both of your families. 🎄🎄🎄🎅

[@cyndydealmeida4085]

Oh I love going shopping with your Mum and you. Nothing to do in the garden here as we are expecting a big Winter storm up here in Toronto. I am 80 and don't drive, so these videos are special to me, but you have both led me astray. I have just gone on line and bought myself a small Balsam Cedar candle which will arrive for New Year. So looking forward to this.

[@Kim-AllynLauterbach]

I always love your shopping videos. They're so much fun! The little outfits for Samantha are adorable. The soup she and Benjamin made reminded me of how I would make mud pies when I was little. I would always try to convince my brothers to eat them. 🤣

First of all you guys are the cutest two people in the world. The Yard House is fantastic I go there every so often but I’m visiting my daughter. What an amazing day the two of you had. I recently lost my mother and so watching the two of you is so special to me. The memories you are creating last a lifetime.

Makes me feel like I'm right there with you both what fun to have a mama that loves everything you love ❤️ and you both pick out things I truly love also. Then you come home to these beautiful sweet precious children Benjamin and Samantha Grace is sweet as can be. Making dinner the soup looked delicious 😋 and you dear sweet mama taking time with them tasting their sweet homemade soup lol. So adorable 😍 you are so blessed Laura. I have fallen in love with your sweet family your mama and all. What a fun time you have with your family.

Your relationship with your mum is beautiful to watch. Absolutely beautiful. It warms my heart. My relationship with my mum turned into a nightmare when she around when she turned 50 became an alcoholic. I tried everything for many years until I've had enough and cut all ties. She passed a couple of years ago.

[@ritasicari7518]

Family can be hard. Families like Laura's are beautiful. I hope they are aware of how special it is.

[@wandabrown508]

I'm so sorry about your mom, but thank you for sharing. Your honesty helps the rest of us.

[@terryblase3234]

I'm sorry your relationship with your mom was so strained. My relationship with my mom was strained for many, many years...until my dad passed away. Then she became a totally different person and we shared a wonderful relationship until she passed away 1 year later. I'm thankful I had that last year with her. I envy Laura's relationship with her mom.

I have a Christmas tree made with grape vines. It has small lights and I decorate it with birds, acorns and other faux nature ornaments for January. It brightens the dark, cold winter days inside and brings cheer after packing away all of the Christmas ornaments. You might want to try this in the Hartley or your family room. I think Benjamin and Samantha would enjoy it. Merry Christmas and New Years blessings to your family! Thank you for your amazing videos throughout the year!
