Days alone with the children

[@amanda9551]

I know so many people have complimented you on this but I super appreciate the natural and authentic style of your videos. I really admire how you don't fixate on materialism the way some vloggers do; you provide such an honest and warm depiction of motherhood and family life that isn't underpinned by excessive planning, editing and styling to make everything look effortless and perfect. It looks so homely and special. Thank you for sharing your life with us.

Something that another mom shared with me when my kids were small. “The days are lONG, but the years are short” 🙏🙏🙏

[@claudiak-p3667]

It's so true!

[@joanmatchett8100]

Very true, l wish l could have those day's back

[@z.a.r.777]

@@joanmatchett8100 me too

[@fabienneroure9995]

Soooo true!

[@M1NDCR4WL3R]

That's so awfully true😪❤👩‍👦

[@itsreallyLINCOLN]

“I don’t know if it’s ok or not, but at least she’s quiet” is a whole mood! 😂😂😂 My 4-year-old is currently on that same energy.

[@adrianstevens656]

🤣

[@wades2132]

This was comedy truth.

[@jessicaanderson958]

So true!

[@nataliadelarosa6373]

Said by every mother everywhere at one point or another.

[@shelbyauger7236]

I think the cat sees you carrying Agatha and the new born and wants to be carried too 😆❤️ I feel like she is mimicking your babies, lol!

[@amyschneidhorst1384]

"As long as she keeps quiet!" The admission of many overly tired parents and carers. As darling as I found Agatha , Adeline, and your very affectionate black cat, I breathed a sigh of relief for you when Toyla arrived home.

[@NetDiverMotoko]

I love that you allow Agatha to explore and get a birt dirty and do not get angry at her for it. She will grow up to be a wonderful woman!

[@kathleenolszewski7982]

I agree. Most parents would scold their children for that which I think hinders their creativity and their joy of exploring. She is such a calm, relaxed mom. She’s doing an amazing job. ❤️

[@rrr441]

Absolutely! For example, my cousin's daughter is 2 years old and has NEVER played outside in her life because it's "dirty and dangerous". Poor little girl... my kids play outside all the time, even if it rains or snows. They help in the kitchen even if they make a mess and end up covered in flour or water... And they love it! It's so important for their development.

[@christineduffy3113]

​@@rrr441That's sad your cousins little girl will be outside at some point and making it appear dangerous will be doing her no favours for the future if I were her husband I would be having a serious word with her just my opinion of course

[@marylou6765]

It is great that you are learning the language of your host country. It shows respect. Also, love that you and your lovely family (including that adorable cat) are building what looks like an idyllic life in your new country. Best of everything!

[@savannahmcilrath9658]

I love how peaceful & simplistic your vlogs are, they make me want to slow down & enjoy the little things in motherhood🤍

[@cinderellen216]

One of the hardest things about being home alone with young children can be the loneliness and not being seen. I’m so glad you shared this very relatable day with us. 💕

[@megb7491]

There is such joy in the small moments with children. Thanks for a glimpse into your day. :)

[@monkeybusiness8837]

Everybody loves you in the house 😍. It was very sweet how you just let the kids be and share hugs with the kitty. Many pet owners treat their pets as just stuff without realising that these humans are all these pets have in this world.

[@michelle14749]

Your babies are beautiful. Agatha "reading" her baby sister a story is absolutely adorable. It's nice your husband is renovating the house, he seems to be a good person and so do you.

[@dt8118]

I really cried in the end ❤ A proof that when there’s love and trust in a couple, they can achieve big things together. Evolve together from zero. What a wonderful example you give us.

[@blessingsoutlaw]

❤😢🎉

[@jennjohnson-richards5829]

Your little family brings me such joy.

[@kayeokay7269]

It's so refreshing how vulnerable and honest you are about the mundane and the difficult. You can see how there's so much beauty in these little moments too. I can't wait to see the video where you give us the finished house tour, and you guys get to see all your hard work pay off. Sending lots of love. 🌱💚

[@nicolatoomey4882]

Agatha and the cat running around in the background made me snort-laugh. I remember those sort of days alone with little children!

[@TheKatelinn]

Tolya is doing so well, I am super impressed! Can't wait to see an update on the house. I can't believe how big Adeline is getting! I guess it makes sense to learn Georgian as you live there and have bought a house too. Much love to you all ❤️

[@joannunemaker6332]

Agatha is getting big! You have a beautiful family.

[@pres4954]

Your kid didn't spend the day watching TV! I LOVE that!!💞

[@faithrussert3753]

My goodness! How Agatha has GROWN! I remember first watching your "Minimalist Russian Girl" videos a few years ago, when you lived in an apartment and went shopping with her in a stroller! All the best to you both and the girls! Thanks for the great videos!

[@natianatia351]

Agatha is just adorable the way she jumps around. She is the best thing that can ever happen to a mother💜

[@MB-ue2rf]

Reminds me of my young family so many years back. These are the best times of your life. Nothing surpasses these times with your little ones. My 4 children are all adults now. And that can be fun too, but I sure miss those days watching them grow and teaching them what I could. Appreciate your post. Shows how we are all so much the same.

[@oxfordpictionary]

I am in that phase now and I feel so very aware of how precious this time is. Thank you for reminding me to cherish each moment ❤❤

[@banerjeearundhati22]

Hugs to you Victoria. Only a Mom knows how life can be to keep smiling after being home through the day with 2 beauties, alone , day after day.

[@kellywingard4548]

Your cat! Your parenting moments with Agatha as she was doing things she shouldn’t! Folding clothes! It’s all so relatable!

[@shirleyhand4002]

You are the most amazing mom. You handle the every day stresses of kids, husband away to work on your new home, cats jumping on you, etc. with such grace. I know it's not easy. I know! My husband traveled a lot when my kids were very young. It's exhausting. Many, many hugs to you.

[@CarrieJamrogowicz]

The cat needs her own channel

[@clairemacauliffecarroll263]

I have autism and so does my oldest daughter and my youngest is going through the tough toddler years. It's not easy being a stay at home mum. Love to you x

[@pomegranateandivy9833]

Same!!! 😂

[@M1NDCR4WL3R]

Autistic mother here, too. Same with us. It is hard for every mother or parent who's in charge of the kids, but some days, for us on the spectrum it can be even more overwhelming.

[@Maggski226]

I was so happy for you when Tolya arrived home. You have such a lovely family. You're truly blessed.

[@claireroberts800]

Lovely to catch up with your little family again. You are doing a great job holding the fort with the little ones, while Tolya is working on the house. You are both courageous! Very touching home coming up the end. May God bless & strengthen you both during this time.

[@jaze8463]

I feel like you do the most mundane everyday things with such love for life so watching you and your life is super inspiring!

[@aesthetix3398]

These videos bring me a joy I just can’t explain

[@suevoss8698]

Stay strong Victoria,you are doing a great job,parenting,learning another language and all the cooking and housework etc.Really looking forward to seeing posts of how your new home is coming along.You are certainly living a busy but exciting time in your life.

[@lorrainehamilton-box2810]

It is lovely to see how happy your children are- Agather is a very bright girl. Your cat is so funny and doesn't like to miss out on anything! Wishing you lots of luck and success with getting your house rennovated- it will be worth it in the end😊🏡

[@Lily_1010]

You have so much motivation to learn a new language (which isn't easy) while you care for two small children, that is amazing. I love how your cat is so friendly. I thought that it was like a sandbox too, she is supervised and ashes were cold, so why not.

[@haakonchristensen2880]

Great video. I'm glad you moved to Georgia. Looking forward to see the progress of your new house 👍

[@mrs.g.9816]

I was happy along with you when Tolya came home! I could feel the love and joy. It's wonderful that you already are bilingual and fluent in English. That you are learning Georgian - and a whole new alphabet to boot - is admirable! Agatha and Adeline are such pretty little girls. ❤

[@alma_gerberstein]

Exhausting times for both, Tolya and you. Being alone in a foreign country with two little children day and night over days and weeks isn't easy. Fix an abandoned house all alone without any experience (and the only regeneration is sleeping in the car) isn't easy. I wish you both lots of energy and strength to cope with the tasks life gave you.

[@amandashoemark7760]

Being a mum is hard work and you are doing great. I too looked forward to and enjoyed the “me time” after they went to bed. Beautiful happy girls .

[@user-qg8qu6gg4s]

Thank you for this video. I love how the cat keeps jumping on you and Agatha playing with the fireplace. I'm not a mom, but I have two active nephews, and sometimes a parent just needs to let them explore to keep them busy. 🤣 You're doing a wonderful job. I hope all is going well with the renovations on your new home.

[@cvan9438]

Thank you for sharing your day. Your family is beautiful. You are a wonderful mommy and your husband is awesome. 🥰🥰🥰

The kids books you found are classics in France and Australia. I have loved them since I was Agatha's age! Glad you could find them :)

[@thelmakatherine5396]

Enjoyed seeing your day with the children. At one time, my four children were 8 and under. Now the oldest is almost 22. The days are long, but the years are short. ❤️ your family

[@Hazeleyesx2]

Loved the ending !! When Toyla returns.

[@TheRockerxx69]

You are so motherly, so sweet, well read and educated. A pleasure.

[@nanagram13]

Life of a stay at home mother! Agatha is cute and learning at little English talking to the camera. Vicca it is great that you are learning Georgian.

[@LaurasYouTube]

Very glad you weren’t seriously hurt! I hope you find a way to fix the sweater. Enjoy having your husband home for a little while!

[@Yesica1993]

Thank you, Agatha, for being such a good helper for your Mom and baby sister!

[@Kim-Dalton]

I'm glad your Sweetie is finally home.

[@silviahahne5433]

Foi um "alento" ver seu marido chegando no fim do vídeo...eu aqui tão longe, estava sentindo a sua solidão. Beijos, Rio de Janeiro - Brasil.🥰

Omg, so cute you with Agatha and the cat in your shoulder hahahha, I love cats, they are so lovely and affectionate. ♡♡♡

[@heathermatthies3638]

Children's books are a great way to learn a new language easily-ish ... read those with your babies & it will really help

[@debr2577]

I was just looking you up as I hadn’t see you in a while. This makes me so happy to see you all doing well. Sorry you burned yourself and sweeter.

[@cdh2328]

Cut the sleeves off above the hole and make the sleeves shorter. It will still be a nice top only with shorter sleeves.

[@bethb7965]

What a beautiful family you have! So glad you got some time to yourself after the kids went to bed. Your 😺 is adorable!

Bravo Victoria. You're doing a great job. I know how difficult it is to go shopping with two little kids. I've done it for years. Please take care of yourself too. God bless you and your beautiful family 💖

[@belindahugheslifestyle]

Dear Vika, I'm so glad you and Tolya are able to study meaningful things. It's very good for brain health (neuroplasticity), as well as your goals and quality of life. I'm also glad you survived three weeks alone with the children. lol Agatha is looking and sounding like a pint-sized professional on camera now. And Adelina's sense of who she is and what she wants is really amazing. You're all doing great! 🙏🙏🙏💖💖💖

[@nursetazzi]

LOVE your tuxedo cat, we have one too!

[@rebeccaharris4823]

Thank you for sharing these precious moments!

[@staceycrater7710]

I love that you show all aspects of your real life and don’t try to make everything look perfect. You are an amazing beautiful woman with a wonderful husband and kids and it’s so enjoyable and relatable to see both your struggles and achievements! I love your channel!

[@carolinelvsewe]

You are a wonderful Mama! So many sacrifices are made and worth it for a better life, wherever you are. You both have hard jobs in different ways. Beautiful to watch.

[@chrishope380]

Love your sweet little family! You’re doing a great job with your girls!

[@eloewajestem]

OMG the way the cat gets crazy eyes when you stand in the kitchen and want to jump on you every time 😂

[@cathiecollins7320]

I love your kitty! So much personality! Also enjoy your content very much!

[@Bluetangg]

Thanks for sharing your day with us. You're a great mom. Remember the goal is to be 'good enough' not perfect. Perfect moms are so hard to live with!

[@debracole6587]

The girls are so cute and both are growing quickly. Hopefully the renovations will go quickly and you can all be together.

[@m.y.o.b.724]

Lol, you're so chill about Agatha making a little mess. A lot of people would just flip out and scream at their kids.☹ Just hang in there, once it gets warmer you can take them outside for playtime more often. The cat looks like a sweetie.❤ I hope your new house is making good progress. Tolya is a brave man, but he's going to learn some valuable skills.

[@bobbiejay2085]

I love that the cat wants cuddles. I knew it was going to jump up on you. With the fireplace play - if that's ash it's not good to breathe in. Getting dirty is one thing - breathing ash isn't recommended. You are doing a great job.

[@Jenny-mo8bu]

I can't wait to see your house and the work being done. It's so exciting!!

[@thomaschew2191]

I'm blessed in that my Dad was a real do-it-yourself individual. Growing up we never paid to have something fixed, Dad did it all. So I did learn much about fixing things and making things. This has served me well my entire life. The one skill that Dad taught me that is the most valuable skill, that is even when you don't know what you are doing, try anyway. Figure it out, it is amazing what you can do when you put in the effort. I'm in Pennsylvania, USA. As you probably already know we, here in the US we are the ultimate consumers. Sue (my spouse) and I have been simplifying our lives and taking a more minimal approach to life. We appreciate your simple life, that is a complement!

[@phylliskeeton6695]

Stay at home mom is hard work, but worth it. The kids are adorable. So happy for you about the house. Thanks for sharing. I enjoyed the update. I look forward to the next one. Take care.

[@brandispry576]

Tolya is so amazing! I can’t wait yo see what he’s done at your new house. Although he doesn’t speak English, he could film dome of his progress and you could do a voiceover explaining what’s been done. I would love to see what he’s been able to accomplish so far.

[@rachelbraybuber4945]

She's getting so big! Good to teach her to help you. Very important for children to help and learn life skills and responsibilities

[@eddiec4536]

Hard working husband and a very hard working mommy. God bless you and family. I enjoy your down to earth family videos. Ed from California. take care now.

[@mairialexopoulou5367]

Oh, how I get what you are feeling. And that sweet moment your husband walks through the door. No matter how much I love my kid, it just feels "not right" somehow, when my husband is not there with us. I just feel our of balance. Thank you for your honesty, Vica.

[@agreenpouch]

Thank you for sharing the real day-to-day of mom life! It’s sweet but so draining!

[@TracySmith-xy9tq]

Agatha and Adeline are both getting so big! And Agatha is speaking in complete sentences! Yes, all the Georgian letters look alike to me, too. I have confidence that you will eventually master it. Your cat is beautiful and acts a lot like my cat. I know how much you must miss Tolya when he is away.

[@maryhutchinson7026]

Oh mama! You are doing such a good job ! Love from Canada!

[@blo1314]

Agatha is so adorable!!! I love how she talks and narates everything and refers to herself as Agatha!! Lol... I have a 4yo on the autism spectrum. She's non-verbal, so i really love to see kids have conversations with mom. I pray that one day, my girl will talk with me=) i also have a 6mo baby being a stay at home mom is definitely a labor of love, and it's so worth it! You are doing great, and your family is so wonderful. ❤️ from the USA 🇺🇸

[@oxfordpictionary]

Never stop trying… My nephew was non verbal but his parents really worked with him and eventually he began to speak around 6 or 7. But it took dedication. I hope everything works out for you and your child ❤

[@blo1314]

@oxford pictionary thank you! I love to hear other stories of how kids eventually talk!! It keeps giving me hope. I believe one day she will talk with all the hard work she does. However, if not, that's okay too! She's a great kid=)
