Sierra’s bubbly naturally, but she’s been particularly effervescent lately! Glad to see it

[@daniellekirsch5402]

I love grace's nursery so much. Also, i understand cutting back on your main channel, but im so happy youre still vlogging. Maybe its the millenial in me, but i prefer longer form content. I love listening while im tinkering away doing other things.

That’s a hornworm and it turns into a hawk moth! Very cool but very destructive to gardens haha

[@janetclaxton217]

Unfortunately, there are probably more and they can destroy a plant in just a few days. Since they are green, they blend in with the stem. You can use black light at night to more easily find these creatures. I had about a dozen in 2 plants. You should read about them. They will probably be back.

[@shelial5852]

Whoa, insight! My daughter watches a cartoon named “Miraculous Lady” and the villain is named hawkmoth! 😂

Came here to say the same lol. I feed them (bought not caught) to my dragon, he loves them.

[@crashmusketeer306]

I love how dark Grace's hair was when she was born and how light it's getting! She's morphing from Steve to Sierra LOL

[@duck6100]

Sierra's natural colour is a medium dark brown though, no?

[@crashmusketeer306]

@@duck6100 it is, just not as dark as Stephen's hair is. :)

Your Alaska vlogs were simply just the best. Love all of your content but I could tell how happy it made you to be there. It will be so fun to plan and look forward to future trips❤️

[@katrinaforgues1400]

If you enjoyed Alaska you might LOVE Vancouver Island in Canada, specifically a place called Tofino! West Coast Rain Forest Island Vibes & epic beaches that you can surf - hiking, whale watching, hot springs, wild raw nature, wonderful dining. My happy place!! If you love the outdoors it is one to consider adding to your bucket list.

Your vlogs are helping me survive my husband's deployment! He left last night so I'm laying in bed with our 3 week old watching your videos and eating cheese cake, thanks for making them.

[@FromtheDepthsofMel]

I did find your channel thanks to your wedding planning videos... and I just got married a few weeks ago. Now I find myself rewatching your TTC videos-- the good and the difficult.

[@tamdev9276]

In my parents garden there is a plum tree, which is standing there for years. Last year it got infested with lice and other insects. We never had this problem before. My dad found a suprisingly good trick, which was; halfed raw onions soaked in water. He let the onions soak overnight and sprayed the "onionwater" over the tree. It really worked and it did not change the flavour of the plums. Maybe it will also work for your plants.

[@wookieelover9103]

Alaska is amazing in the summer months. The winters are no as fun with the darkness and all lol and it being freezing lol.

You seemed so genuinely happy in Alaska. It’s incredible how we can feel more like ourselves in certain environments. I’ve only been to anchorage once to visit my sister for Christmas- the winter is brutal but I’ve heard the summer is absolutely magical!!

[@smartblondie12]

As a librarian, I love seeing you gush about the library! 🥰 I wonder if they had done a storytime or something and that's why there were so many kiddos.

My kids also love the library! Ours has story time and other fun activities! I always wished I was a librarian.

[@lexyeast4896]

You should look into buying some gravity salt and pepper grinders and them you CAN use then one handed! (High key, best purchase I ever made for my kitchen! Only downside is they take 6 AA batteries each, so I bought rechargeable batteries specifically for them)

[@Lolo-nw4nq]

I you heal my days so much sierra, thank you for all that you do and are ❤

[@lmckean1212]

Love your videos! Have a tip for your gardening! I noticed you watering the tomatoes and were watering them pretty high and getting water on the leaves. Tomato plants are prone to getting fungal diseases etc and getting water on the leaves promotes those diseases causing leaves to curl up and brown etc. Try watering down by the base of the plant and it might help a bit! :) love the water trough raised bed, super cute!

[@jessicaroberts9756]

[@kristacoleman4712]

Those hornworms can eat an entire plant in a day! I'm glad you caught it when you did!

[@Goldnmorning]

Tomato hornworms only eat tomato plants. So keep an eye on your tomatoes. Especially since you moved that one. They do turn into a moth.

[@roxannaseay3429]

Seeing you in Alaska reminded me of me in Daytona Beach. It’s my absolute happy place. I loved it, it was like the happiest I had felt in a while. I fully get it! Home away from home! 💜

Grace is so adorable! 🥺 Especially the little curls she has! 😍

Her curls are so cute .

[@missc6182]

You should (is that bossy? Would you?) keep the caterpillar in a jar and feed it some (bell pepper) leaves and Gracie can watch it turn into a butterfly!! Would be fun if you updated us along the way too!

[@rachelandersen4211]

Dawn dish soap mixed with water sprayed on your plants will keep it safe from bugs. ❤️

That is hilarious

[@tarzan9494]

Hey hey Sierra❤️ Suggestion for outdoor fun with Grace; get toddler magnifying glass and also some toddler sized & safe garden tools! My toddler and I spend a lot of time outside here in Australia where we live since we are blessed with nice weather lots and watching bugs and critters and gardening are some of our favourite activities outdoors xx I’m a newish mum like you, we were actually pregnant at the same time my daughter is just a smidge older than Grace and her and I love watching your vlogs!💯

[@carosare6700]

I ADORE the vlogs edited by mario, I sure as heck will binge watch rachel’s vlogs

[@leslieturner1219]

I think you can put tin foil around the base or stem to keep worms from eating your plants. I’m not 100% on that, but there’s some gardening channels that have lots of ideas for that stuff. Hopefully you can find something that helps

[@afriefeld1]

I feel like Grace chose an outfit that looked like yours!!! Love the gardening content btw 😊

[@mariamiyam6991]

Girl come in June/July, it’s less rainy! You can enjoy more hiking trails and the fishing season!

[@LadyxSky]

If you ever happen to be in the Miami area in November or can manage to be here, the Miami Dade Book Fair would be really great for you to bring Grace to! It has a large kids area with a ton of interactive tents, storytimes, characters to meet, and so much more. It's a lot of fun! :)

Because Grace’s charmander reminded me to ask…. Any know where the starter plushies can be ordered that are actually soft and plush? My baby just started to crawl and we NEED to have him choose his starter.

I recently went to GameStop with my husband and I saw several starter Pokémon plushies there. They were the softest things ever. I hope you can find them easily either in person or on the website! :)

I really loved your Alaska vlogs, I’ve felt the same way since moving back. If you are ever serious about moving here, I’d recommend coming in the winter time because it is pretty different. I think you guys would really like the Alaska State Fair, it’s so much fun and features a lot of local stuff. Moose’s Tooth should be one of your stops too!

[@jayj1796]

I can’t tell you how happy and serene your vlogs making me feel. thank you so much

Some areas in Washington state look similar in scenery to Alaska, and a little closer :). You may like it there as well!

Add a little bit of cinnamon in your coffee and it’s almost identical to the Starbucks drink.

[@sunnybigmc90]

Hopefully u read this. Just some advice if u didn’t kno already especially for tomato plants u don’t wanna get the leaves wet bc that can cause disease on the leaves. U only want to water at the base of the plant 😉 I saw u were spraying the entire plant so I figured I’d give u a little tip.

[@angelicamarie3771]

I've been to Alaska and fell in love with it too! But if you're really considering moving there at any point, you need to go in the heart of winter(Dec-Jan) and know what you're getting into. If you want the nature, rain, optional snow but not below zero I would highly consider Oregon/Washington. I've been living in Oregon for 5 years and moved here from Sacramento, I absolutely love it here. There is plenty of rain, there is some snow, it's not far if I want to drive to snow, I see bald eagles quite frequently and other birds, there are TONS of hiking/walking trails in every city and there are plenty of whale watching spots on the coast. I know Alaska is beautiful but those winter's are brutal take it from someone who did go there in Dec, I went during a warm week too and the HIGH was 10F°.

[@alyssabrown1019]

The darkness will really get you too. Think Alaska is too much of an extreme from Southern California lol

[@iliawonders]

I find it interesting how much you like to get your nails done! I really hate getting my nails done, it's a bit of a sensory nightmare for me lol.

[@IonIsFalling7217]

I’m honestly soglad to hear both that you aren’t moving to Alaska (trust me, the isolation would get to you - there’s no Disney or Lego Land and your family and friends are there in SoCal), and that you’ll be getting outdoors more!

[@aksez2u]

Are you IN Alaska? I don't think "isolation" is the word. There's plenty to do and places to go. It's not the same as being on a tiny island. Anchorage is a small city of almost 300,000, so not everyone lives rurally. If you live for Disney, Lego and high end mall shopping, this would not be the place for you. If you love cool temperatures and the outdoors, I don't think you would feel "isolated" at all.

[@duck6100]

Lmao the majority of people on the planet don't live in the vicinity of a Disney land or Lego Land and do just fine that's such an American thing to say haha. I do agree about her family and friends since she's so used to having them close but you know lots of people adapt to that as well. Alaska is beautiful tbh, I see why people love it there.
