It's Vlogmas! 🎁🎄❄️♥️ || VLOG 40 || Christmas Cookies, Sledding, The Symphony & Gift Wrapping!

[@annaorr6808]

Girl! You’re cranking out so many videos lately it’s almost feeling like 2019. Almost. 😂

[@MrsMidwest]

I miss those days sometimes 😢❤😅 hopefully 2025 will be even better 🩷🙏💕

[@rachaelhunter]

Right?? I'm loving the content 😍

[@daisy_c_m]

The absolute thrill of seeing a new Mrs. Midwest vlog! I love your new home too! It has such a Nancy Meyers movie feel.

[@MrsMidwest]

Yay thank you!!!! Her set design is so cozy and glam ❤

[@Makai-mq2uv]

The variety of things you are exposing your boys to is sooo wonderful! I think so many people “too young to understand” or “too young to enjoy it”, but even if that is partially true, it’s still such a valuable experience. Tons of different experiences can help kiddos start to have the self led learning desire. Creating life long Learners!

[@MrsMidwest]

Absolutely!!! It was our Hawaii trip that cemented for me that maybe we don’t remember the beginnings of life, but that is where we formed our “knowings.” They know of Hawaii and what it was like even if they don’t remember everything. And now they know about museums and all sorts of stuff!! I love your perspective here ❤

[@corduroyo]

first of all-- you are convincing me to move north so i can finally experience a proper winter! second-- as a museum worker, please continue bringing your kids to museums! it is so fun for us to see their curious minds! i so look forward to these vlogs. absolutely stunning!

[@MrsMidwest]

I love this comment!!!!! Firstly, our snow has melted and snowed again three times this year and the melt is very ugly so be prepared 😅 but I love it here. Low cost of living and nice people!!! Second, I love to hear you work at a museum. I think museums are the top of my list for favorite places ever since I was little. Now that I think of it, I definitely went to museums even at a young age and it formed my appreciation, so I’ll take your advice and continue bringing them ❤😂 thank you for the love and thank you for writing to me 🎉

[@annamallard2730]

The boys are so lucky to have an adventurous and kind, thoughtful mum like you! 🫶

[@auroreaurore1081]

That music at the beginning is so iconic, it relaxes us INSTANTLY ahah we love you ❤

[@MrsMidwest]

Thank you!!!! I blew out the decibels in my autumn vlog so I was very careful to sound mix properly here. I’m really glad you still love it ❤❤❤

[@rachelroussel8047]

Thank you for a little mrs midwest movie!!! Love how your vlogs are long ❤🎉

[@MrsMidwest]

I made this one a bit shorter for you guys so I’m glad to hear you don’t mind the loooooong ones ❤😂

[@HaleySmith]

You literally live in a wonderland. I can't get over it. It's so BEAUTIFUL!

[@naila.a.88]

I would love a video doing a deep dive into the empowered wife as well as a video about how you thrive motherhood & what challenges you've dealt with.

[@pookieadw]

You radiate so much joy. I like your spirit and essence and i also try to emulate peace and joy to my two young daughters too. Merry Christmas Caitlin! I became a single mother unexpectedly after years of marriage but I just bought a house my daughters and I to make many new memories in.

[@MrsMidwest]

Congratulations on your new journey!!! I’m so sorry you’re going through such a twist of plans but I’m really happy for the new beginnings ❤😊🎉

[@roseevans1796]

The boys are precious! I have a 19 month old daughter and am due with my second baby on Tuesday. Seeing your boys be so sweet and respectful makes me so excited to see my two babies become friends! As a Catholic I loved seeing the beautiful Catholic art in the museum, and I too am a big fan of impressionism ❤ Thank you for sharing this perspective of a mama with two littles!

[@MrsMidwest]

Praying for a safe and peaceful delivery darling!!!! December babies are very fun and cozy. Sending love!! And yes my next goal is to visit some cathedrals in the city. I need religious art influence. That was my favorite part of visiting Jerusalem! Going to mosques, synagogues, cathedrals, and old churches!!

[@loraleelu5003]

I love your cherry cookie recipe! I started making them last year, and my sister who is on a church mission in Australia requested the recipe because she loves them so much!

[@MrsMidwest]

That’s the best!!!!!! All credit to the original recipe lady from the link but I’m so happy to have sent so many people there. It’s the best 😂❤

[@sophiaboyden3070]

I always get so excited when you release a new video! I find everything you do so inspiring 🌟

[@MrsMidwest]

Thank you!!!!! I feel inspired to make these videos because of you guys. It makes life so exciting ❤❤❤

[@kinndah2519]

Cait standing in front of the Christmas tree gave a good idea of how tall she actually is lol. Like a tall bright golden pretty sunflower🌻✨️🎀🥰

[@MrsMidwest]

I am tall!!! Dutch! ❤ lol!! I am 5’7.5 or 5’8 if I stand super straight ❤😂

[@elizabethshaklee8450]

Absolutely loved watching this vlog with my hot cup of coffee during baby girl’s nap time. 🎄💕 Seeing how much fun you have in the snow with your boys makes me want to start having more outdoor fun with my little girl ! You are such a fun momma. 🤭

[@katieanne7992]

My family does stockings from Santa, all other presents from dad and mom. The stockings stuffers are the only thing from Santa, so it’s easy to just fill those Christmas Eve after kids are asleep!

[@ellasoriginalchannel9713]

I love how happy and relaxed you seem these days. Is like everything in your relationship used to be about pleasing your husnand by being the percect wife, and now it is about both of you building a wonderful life together. Love that. ❤️

[@sinihirvonen928]

Lovely vlog! Christmas traditions: I'm from Finland and a few of my favourites for Christmas Eve are sauna in the morning, rice porridge for lunch, reading a certain part of the gospel out loud with family, going for a walk to see other peoples christmas lights when it get's dark and after that a late night church service ❤

[@missygee6155]

I love it. It's like a movie; one that we will watch every Christmas!

[@MrsMidwest]

That’s so cute thank you ❤

[@marinaaver]

Oh Caitlin, I just love your style of editing so much!!💛 feels so cozy and classic🥰

[@SunshineBloom777]

This was so precious!!! Put me in the Christmas mood!! Love your happy disposition and joyful outlook on life, a blessing! God bless!

[@MrsMidwest]

Yay that was the goal!!! Enjoy your Christmas season my love!!

[@ashley-d9y7t]

Down south living vicariously through you with all of that snow 😍 thank you for sharing! Beautiful, refreshing, and inspiring content as always 🩷

[@emilysmiller9749]

Awhhh loved this so much!! Love seeing the home life content!! Would you ever consider doing a vlog on the routines you have in place with the 2 boys? Especially on your solo nights!?

[@leticiaolsi4325]

You’re my favorite KZbinr! Thank you for all you do for us! Merry Christmas and blessings to your beautiful family!

[@ellacarter9863]

This was awesome! ❤ I watched the whole thing and I’m almost finished crocheting a cute little snowman for a gift for one of my best friends! 😊

[@jessicadelrosario1412]

Love your vlogs so much! Just got back from the yearly gingerbread house decorating day with my family, and was excited to cozy up with your vlog tonight. Also, I’ve made your cookies since you did a video with them, and now my family begs me to make them every year. Thanks for the inspiration and Merry Christmas!

[@wendygaonach3908]

Merry Christmas, Caitlin! Loved all the parts of this vlog! My son is grown up now at 22, but I took him to see The Nutcracker in Toronto (where I grew up and lived until 9 years ago) when he was 5. He liked it, but nodded off near the end... his 7 year old girl cousin was entranced through the whole performance! Fond memories. Wishing you and your family all the best in the holidays from Brittany, France!

[@NicoleGuler]

My audible yesssss that came out when I saw this in my feed!! Thank you so much for posting so much recently!

[@d4aq2s]

I cried tears of happiness. God bless your beautiful family :)

[@HelenaWagner28]

I love your vlogs! So cosy and the colors are amazing! And I am also a Soft Dramatic so your style is really inspirational to me!

[@noellekris5902]

Seriously, I’ve followed you since 2019 and seeing Michigan through your vlogs is one of the main reasons I am considering moving to the state. I’m from the south and love my warmth but we are looking to settle down somewhere new here soon and it seems all four seasons here are insanely beautiful!!

[@juliaricciardi8482]

Love this so much!! The snow was so beautiful!! I used to live in the north and miss those snow storms. One day, I will again!! The symphony sounded so good. I play the clarinet, so I love music. So good to introduce the boy to that at a young age! Overall, it's such a great vlog. I love the Christmas-themed one! I also aspire to have this life!! Working towards that! I love your videos! Thank you! Have a Merry Christmas!!. :)

[@HeatherLaurenCo]

I make buckeyes as my Christmas cookie every year. My husband gets so excited! I haven’t made them yet. And another tradition we have is rewatching the Harry Potter series. we watch one a week from Halloween to Christmas.

[@mrs.a4564]

I can relate so much to the overwhelm we feel when we have birthdays mixed in with holidays. I have a birthday a week before thanksgiving, and one a week later, so that stress is definitely real!

[@TheNinjaInConverse]

I ADORE your Christmas vlogs! So comforting to have in the background while I work on my finals for the semester!!

[@amandinekraft570]

I’m so happy to see more of you! Always a pleasure and such a sweet time. Special place in my heart for the Christmas vlog. Thanks again for your content and I mean like à real content not a scrunchy perfect house and beige kids. It’s sooooo refreshing!!!! I also love your new house, so cosy and authentic. I have a yellow living room too, so sunny and lightly!

[@athena_verse8001]

I love how you have seasonal outdoor activities! I live in California near the snow but it doesn't snow at my house and now I'm inspired to do some cross country skiing. Looks so fun!

[@mimidarkbloomxo]

I love your German pyramid! We have had one that has been passed down in my family for generations and I just think they’re so special and beautiful ❤ love all of your decor!

[@staceyl618]

Caitlyn, just want to say, I really do enjoy the "out and about" parts with yourself and your family. Including homemaking is really good too - but some of us - me at least - do enjoy the "out and about" sections.🙂

[@hg7534]

I'm watching the snow clips teary eyed 🥺 It looks so beautiful! I live in Portugal and we don't get snow here. Sending you love from Lisbon! Merry Christmas ❤

[@Airbear211]

Yay!!! Merry Christmas, feminine fam! 💖

[@CheyannaRichardson-c4x]

Your videos are always so inspirational and relaxing

[@maddy-zzz]

wow its neat seeing so much snow. im from the south US so significant amounts of snow is extremely rare. only once for me in the last 26 years did I experience more than 2 inches of snow. its so magical

[@Elizabethane]

You should make a LTK! You’ve been wearing the cutest tops and love all your recommendations !!

[@shannonvalentina4860]

Omg I’m so envious of where you live 😂😍😍 you get proper seasons: gorgeous sunshine beach weather in summer and a snowy winter wonderland in winter. I’m in London and it’s just soggy filth all year round 😅. Absolutely gorgeous video as usual 💖 Merry Christmas to you all!🎄 xx

[@clara4942]

Hello from Australia. I love watching your Christmas vlogs. We're just down here sweltering in the heat, and watching you guys run about in the snow is heavenly. In my family, our Christmas tradition is a couple of days before Christmas we sit down together and make Christmas bon bons for the table. We also pop in riddles or brain teasers that need to be solved. We're nerds and introverts and unless there's some cognitive stimulation we tend to get a bit bored. Ha!

[@alexmills630]

Yay!! New vlog! Best birthday gift!!! Thanks for this!! 💖💖 I hope you and your beautiful family have a wonderful, healthy, joyful holiday ❤

[@Nini-bm2og]

God bless your family, I love how joyful and delightful your are 🎀

[@samantha_budhu]

Yay Vlogmas love your videos, watch a little every day ❤❤❤

[@hannahcherney5627]

Merry Christmas Caitlin 😀 been here since summer 2019 and your content continues to be such a dose of comfort💕 wishing you many blessings to come in 2025

[@missme3651]

Yay I love your vlogs, because our lifes are so similar!! We're the same age, have children the same ages and live the same lifestyle! But on different continents😂❤

[@adelatomoiaga7127]

I missed your videos so much. I know you said that you are first a mother and then a KZbinr, but I really like what you post and maybe you will do it more often? even if they are shorter 🥹 I really like to see about homemaking🙈 sending love from Romania, a little country in Europe 🎉

[@reent4932]

Thank you for the vlog Caitlin! I'm a long time viewer and love watching your videos, they're always so happy and comfy. I was wondering if you'd consider doing a wardrobe tour/beauty room tour with us? You're style has evolved so much and it's so cute! 😊 x

[@audball217]

“Tress of the emerald sea” by Brandon Sanderson is so good! He wrote for his wife with no intention on publishing it. Very princess bride vibe.

[@5674Kc]

Awe yay ❤ This is so fun! This year is weird for us because I'm away from home with my kids awaiting the birth of my sis-in-law's first baby. your christmasy vlog is perfect and now I want to make cherry cookies!

[@thegirlandpinkukulele]

yesss another mrs. midwest vlog babe, brew the tea!!!

[@Makai-mq2uv]

You have helped me appreciate the beauty of living in the Midwest! Neighbor in Ohio. Only recently being able to really settle into feeling grateful to be here!

[@harmshoney]

your Christmas tree truly looks royal! like it should be in the white house lol! celtic woman christmas is the BEST, i'm so glad someone else loves it too 😆 i love that you guys are doing santa while also making the main focus about Jesus. i feel like so many people are only one or the other, & i feel like including santa makes it so nostalgic & fun. & those piggy banks are sooo cute!! also, i hope you guys get a nice car! having an electric vehicle worries me in a snowy state like mn, & emf freaks me out - we're a 4wl family all the way lol! but i hope you guys get what's best for you 🖤 i love your vlogs so much, your life is beautiful!! xoxo

[@lindsey4157]

This is so inspiring!!!❤ It makes me want to do more with my kids

[@sarahschmidt7724]

I love your nails!! You are such a poised beauty. You inspire me and give me hope as a Christian woman who wants to be a homemaker and a wife someday. So glad to be part of your feminine sisterhood. ❤️

[@aleengaggo3831]

Just sharing an opinion… my hubby and I gotten a tesla… and were so excited… but having to charge it constantly was actually very inconvenient… we thought the “not having to get gas” thing was going to be a pro but it was actually a con. I have so many stories about having to charge it constantly. Unless you are going to have a charger at your house that’s a different story. Just looking out!! Im sure you guys would make the best of it better than we did. Just sharing in case.. 🤪ps- ive also heard stories about how much radiation the car gives off. Im sure youll do your research too. Stay safe! 🙏🏼

[@MamaRiguez]

I love your vlogs and that red color looks so good on you. Have you ever thought of trying the color analysis thing lol I want to so bad.

[@emilymarchbank7781]

I'm loving all of this! I was having a bit of a rough day and watching this brought me so much joy. I can't wait to get into cross country skiing this year too! I love the top you're wearing during the Christmas card chapter, where did you find it?? 💗

[@katesolanas]

The beautiful hair, oh, I am so mesmerized...

[@afcopwife]

Michigan winters are beautiful! Love all the vlogs lately! Btw, hide your wrapped presents in your luggage (unless you’re going to be using it of course).

[@Woman_in_the_Wilderness]

Can you show us how you have been doing your nails? ❤

[@j.7501]

Where is your lacy top, in the first clip from???? I love it

[@elizabetheastman]

Merriest Christmas to you and your family!!!! Love seeing the snow!!! ❤ makes to so much more festive. I’m in Canada but sadly not much snow so far this year. Happy 2025!!🎉

[@emiliakolanowska1739]

Than You for that cozy vlog. Merry Christmas for You and Your family🌟🎄♥️

[@Hiimprincessdeborah]

Hey girl, I would love if you considered making a video on kindness, how to practice being kind hearted 😇 etc ❤❤❤

[@cristinaobrien6589]

Merry Christmas Caitlin. I don’t know how far you are from Detroit, but they have a Christmas train ride that includes Santa & hot cocoa. We have the polar express train here in Oregon, & it’s so sweet.

[@AmandaCrocker-s8t]

Old mom here...wet your parchment before placing it on the cookie sheet. A tip I learned a long time ago.

[@Makai-mq2uv]

lol! Calling out the Michael Kors as “midwestern-core” is hilarious! Love a self aware queen. Sincerely, Ohio girl

[@homemakerlife7543]

I absolutely adore your home. It’s so beautiful! I love the layout so much! It’s my dream layout because I love a home to have rooms. Mine is way too open.

[@humblejoy3564]

girl, your cat tee is so sweet, my boy passed two weeks ago and he looked like that tuxedo cat!

[@charlene-moanawalker-grace3343]

Just recently discovered your channel and I love your content 😍

[@Bloome_]

Love the drone footage! It made me feel like I was playing a computer game with you as the main character 😂

[@RenzoStefanoPontexRuiz]

0:53 Your house has a beautiful living room and That tree is very beautiful, It's a pretty decoration. 6:50 Those decorations are very pretty. Thank you very much for sharing this video with us, I wish you and your family a merry Christmas. By the way, Your kids are adorable. 🎄⛄❄️🙂👍

[@kathleenkelly2018]

Where did you find your cream colored top with the lace and bow?

[@from.alaina]

Lovely video. Where are you jeans from in the beginning of the video?

[@Tallandmajestic]

I want all your outfits in this vlog! ❤

[@xEasyHair]

May I ask where your top is from you wear in the end ( when you showed the Christmas cards )? its so cute xxx

[@veeehwk]

A Mrs. Midwest blog while I walk on the treadmill 🙌🏼🥰

[@blank15053]

ooooh the drone footage, so fancy

[@clara4942]

PS I'm currently reading The Bone Season, and loving it! Totally recommend.

[@lilygreen4000]

Girl where can I find the heatless curls tutorial!? I remember seeing it in a vlog forever ago, but now I can't find it!!

[@LifeWithFlowers]

Merry Christmas 🙏🕊️❄️

[@tanyadsouza1100]

Yay new vlog🎉

[@paigecochran6071]

It actually looks like christmas there. I have dandilions in my yard right now 😅

[@sapphirestorm9874]

Me too 😢

[@emersonelizabeth2442]

Please share what lip color you always wear! It is GORGEOUS!!

[@TheSushmaHomeSellingTeam]

Love this! What was more fun, sledding or baking cookies? 🎄❄🍪

[@faithwhatley6922]

I struggled a bit with Santa too. But we decided to do it with our kids, and I'm hoping that when they get older and ask if he's real that we can somehow explain the nuance that he's real in the sense of being a character whom people dress up as to represent joy, generosity, and Christ's love, and how he's based off of the Catholic Saint Nicholas who was also a real person. Hopefully they forgive me for the flying reindeer part being a fib 😂

[@weronikas1307]

Such a wonderful vlog!✨🎄

[@Maaaaaam]

I saw the cookies in the thumbnail and I have to say I used your recipe years ago and now every year people ask me to bring them to family gatherings at Christmas. So, thank you for the hit lol

[@ThurChan-c1v]

omg, i also am currently reading elantris!😆keep getting him recommended so decided to give him a shot too!

[@TheNinjaInConverse]

I enjoy XC skiing, but I live near the coast so we get a bit too much rain.

[@zil1995]

Hi what is brand od your christmas socks ? Thank you 😊

[@whitney3585]

Love this!! At what age did your kiddos not need you constantly? Lol. It is very overwhelming sometimes with a 1 year old.

[@fellowhuman7085]

A couple of my friends watch your videos too. So we'll just be chatting, and one of us will say, "did you see the new Mrs. Midwest video?" 😊❤

[@flowerwebb0801]

I've been on a big webtoon kick lately too lol! Cursed Princess Club is so awesome! In terms of recommendations, I love Secrets of Soulford (fantasy and romance. The art is some of my favorite ever!), Mafia Nanny (Action/drama and a little romance so far. Really suspenseful!), Hidden in the Moon (fantasy/mythology and romance. Lots of cool Latin cultural influences), Marionetta (drama/fantasy and some romance. Really unique and intriguing premise) and Dazer & Eleanor (historical/fantasy and romance). Also just started Dagger to the Heart (romance/fantasy) which seems good so far ☺
