Juggling Work and Mummy Feelings | LIFESTYLE

[@Patti-1962]

Louise, your dresses are just stunning!!😱💖💖 I am a retired professional violinist. When my children were young, I had several opportunities to go on international orchestra tours. I went on them, even though I had my teary eyed moments of homesickness. The best part was when I had been home a while, both children were fussing, the kitchen sink was full of dishes, toys were everywhere... I could close my eyes and remember being in a beautiful hotel room having room service. Somehow, it helps with those tough days!😀💕❤😊💖💖💖

[@Louisepentland]

Yes, you are very, VERY right. Thank you for this reminder xxx

[@rhiannonmarie99]

I love yours and Eyal's friendship, it's so pure and honest ❤

[@nataliegosling1394]

Louise your vlogs are like a giant hug! So warm and comforting and always brighten my day so thank you 🙂

[@Louisepentland]

Thank you! I always hope they have that nice cosy vibe so this comment has really pleased me. xxxx

[@sapieru1a]

I feel the same 🙂

[@jillguns1069]

Can I just say that I love how you mentioned adult homesickness? I struggle with it a lot and no one seems to understand, it"s always been 'something only kids get confronted with'. Proud of you Louise!

[@Leena-il7po]

Hiiii Louise, I just wanted to say that thank you for being such a positive and kind person, you are an incredible person and mother and your videos always bring a smile on my face.

[@Louisepentland]

Ahhh Leena this is such a sweet comment, thank you xxx

[@Ellie-oy3xg]

it needs to be more widely appreciated that louise genuinely got a quote for a helicopter just in case the roads melted😭😂

[@Louisepentland]

Ahahaha £3,000!!! The panic was REAL!!! xxx

[@Michelle_moonlover]

@@Louisepentland glad im not the only one who thinks like that 😊 xx

[@craftwithkatherine]

So funny, what would you have done when it would have landed and you would have had to step out onto melted land Louise?! 😂

[@kiaviggars]

When we have really hot days in Australia the road actually does melt but only a little bit you can still drive on the road but you also get tar stuck to your shoes 😂

[@emf263]

I've never related to anything more in my life

[@debbiesanderson9466]

I love how you’re happy for us to see the Louise behind the scenes with no makeup on . You are so confident and beautiful with or without the “mask” . Although I am considerably older than you I think of you as a role model. Thank you for being “you” 🤗😘👍

[@Louisepentland]

Thank you Debbie, that's such a compliment because sometimes I do look a bit EGG like haha xxxx

[@gemmasmith6715]

I love scrolling through and seeing all the positive lovely comments it really puts me in a good mood x

[@Lucy-lm7tp]

So happy you uploaded been missing your weekly's x

[@eringodwin6263]

“Anything from the trolley” really cracked me up 😂😂

[@megansmith2181]

Was amazing meeting you!! Had such a freak out haha so sorry, such a good end to a boring work day. You juggle so much at once I don’t know how you do it!! Xxx

[@Anniet10]

Louise I have been watching your videos since 2012 and I just wanted to say thank you for being so open and honest and real. You’re a true inspiration to me and your vlogs have provided me with years of comfort. Thank you for making such amazing content and for being you ❤️

[@ButacuPpucatuB]

You're smashing it all!! I'm so very proud of you and for the fact that your book is doing so well. I appreciate what you were saying about feeling homesick. I am an introvert and a homebody. There's no better feeling than being in the comfort and safety of your home with those you love. I found what you were saying very relatable.

[@meaganlindley7676]

“Anything from the trolley” 😂 Love it! 💗

[@gracewhiting3498]

Done my dishes, sit down under my duvet with a hot chocolate and Louise has uploaded that's what I call perfect timing x

[@hannahcook2485]

In all honesty a lot of your videos take me back to my most special time of my life. My son was born 2018 and I absorbed mummy vlogs (so I could pretend I knew what I was doing 😂) and when he was about 4 months old I used to have your family vlogs on in the background of my day as he LOVED baby Pearl! He used to get so excited and it made my days 😊

[@lucyhowarth284]

We worked together and watching what you have achieved since is so inspiring. I feel so proud watching your vlogs and congrats on the yours books. When I saw the window in Waterstones I smiled to myself. So, so happy for you. Lucy xx

[@meganf.9755]

Been binge watching your vlogs cause my relationship isn't well and you just calm me down and make me feel at home? Is that weird? Who cares, much love to you and thank you for giving me that feeling 💙

[@Louisepentland]

Big loves to you xxx

[@pixieoftheopera]

Glad you enjoyed your holiday and you took a life break to yourself. It’s important that we all take a break every now and then 😊

[@laurawestenra]

You've really got gorgeous eyes, Louise. They're like Jade jewels.

[@Ziinamaya]

Hi Louise, I've been following you for a long time but these past days I've really started watching your vlogs. Been feeling really down and not in a good mental place but you're so positive and I really like listening to you, thank you so much for uploading!! Wish you and your family all the best! Edit: You always look so good but omg that 2nd dress! Gorgeous

[@diamondhair11]

Whatever the makeup artist put on your eyes made them exquisite. You already have beautiful eyes, but the eyeshadow with the mascara/liner, just made them gorgeous. You should wear this shade more often. Love it. When I used to go with my girlfriends on overnight or 3 day trips, I used to be so homesick it was awful. I was so happy to go, but also missed my home and hubby and family so much...I understand.

[@gemmahale9816]

Love you Louise! I've just moved in to my uni house and so happy I have your vlog to unpack to! I get so excited every time you upload xxx

[@wendywoo6409]

Yes Louise Your book will always have a wonderful memory for me as this is actually a time in my life were things are changing. My baby has just got into University and at this moment Im going through a difficult time adjusting to this. So i will always remember reading your lovely book and this will always help me to stay positive every day. Have read them all and your just a fabulous author xx

[@elspethgraham.8300]

you’re one of the few KZbinrs I’ve stuck with and frequently return to (I’m an oldie but goldie!!) and I just wanted to say genuinely ✨thank✨you✨ for your content. I’m 20 and not a mum but still thoroughly enjoy you!! I also 100% get the home sickness thing and it’s so nice to hear someone be honest about it...I love holidays etc but it’s always nice to get home and back to a routine😌 Please keep on going and being you because your videos are the nicest and most calming to watch. Adding to that, your Instagram is one of the only accounts I can think of that doesn’t bring me down. You’re completely the best in the business. Thank you 💗💗💗💗

[@jos5394]

Ah, watching these videos and reading the comments is always such a joy. Such a wonderful corner of the internet x

[@catherinehigham6720]

CONGRATULATIONS on the new book, it's brill. Also as far as the difficulty in leaving your girls, every working mother goes through the same thing. It never gets any easier. xxxx

[@bec2587]

I love watching your vlogs Louise.....your so calm and kind and genuine.....thanks so much for sharing your lives with us xoxo 💋 ❤ 💙 💚 💛 💜

St Pancras station is for Eurostar trains going abroad, then King’s Cross is just over the road for travel within England, Wales and Scotland. Both shopping areas are lovely, lots of lovely stationery/beauty shops, eateries and other useful places.

[@grace16x]

Louisa Coote St Panc also has trains that go to parts of the Uk, they’re just two giant connecting stations.

[@thebluebirdsings8]

The Bell Jar and Eat Pray Love. I spent three months traveling in Europe alone when I was nineteen (I'm from the US). Both of these books helped me to find myself and to choose to live and to go to therapy when I got back to the States. They were the start of a journey to recovery for me.

[@thebluebirdsings8]

I would not recommend reading The Bell Jar if you are suicidal. It made it harder for me. It means something to me but it is not a good book to read if you are ill.

[@chace1978]

Yesssss perfect timing just got in from work soaking wet and feeling grumpy so this will cheer me up, welcome back louise I've missed you even though you've had well deserved family time ❤😘 x

[@1DawnMarie1]

I just read The Flatshare a few weeks ago, such a great read and such an amazing read from a debut novel. You’ve introduced me to some awesome authors through your book tours.

[@jkwood12]

Welcome back, I’ve missed you! So glad you are having a moment, you deserve it! Carving out your pink corner of the world. I’m so happy for you. Also that makeup for Lorraine!! I love the lipstick color and it especially goes with the dress of dreams :) glad they found a great photo shoot spot to got with it. Enjoy the moment and I hope more traditional media comes your way as that is your goal! 💕🌸🌷

[@smb89]

Outlander book series. Kept me company through the endless nightfeeds. Amazing series.

You can tell this was filmed ages ago, because: "We're having a heatwave." 😆

[@kizkad]

Jules M I know right? Now it’s pissing with rain every single day and I’m seriously debating turning my central heating on in the middle of August

You talking about being a seal and having enough insulation just made me want to meet you more and be fun mom friends because I feel like that on the daily!!! Also those tour dresses are bomb on you momma!!!!

[@scarlettgriffin3647]

First ever comment on a KZbin video but I just had to say I share in your joy for the amazing fan!! It was the only thing that got me through the heatwave while I was pregnant last summer 😆 Love your videos so much Louise, watching them makes me feel so happy and calm 😊

[@janiceburgess5906]

Thank you Louise. Such lovely snippets from your publication week. You are looking good and all of your outfits were a success. X

[@tashc6213]

I can’t imagine how hard it would be to talk to a camera in a very busy public place. You’re a legend and I wanted to tell you how much I appreciate you vlogging in public, I love seeing all the variety in your vlogs. Also you looked absolutely stunning in the white floral dress with the pink lips 😘🇦🇺

[@grayde3903]

I love these videos that aren’t Sunday vlogs but like mini ones I love the way they are edited

[@olivia1910]

Wow I can't lie and say I've never thought "oh anybody can be an influencer it's not that hard" but after watching this I'm like yeah I definitely couldn't do what you do ! Being on tv, being on the radio, going on book tours and meeting everyone, doing interviews and photoshoots all day (let alone posting a video on youtube)... I'm a very shy and introverted person so this is like all of my nightmares in one video lol

[@Muthrtung]

that was a great balance of talking/looksee into your biz world! it's always so very cool to see genuinely good-hearted peeps, who acknowledge their good fortune, become successful. great vid! congrads on your book successes :-) xx

Absence does make the heart grow fonder 💝 hope you had a lovely vacation

[@nunya69business]

You post some of the most comfortable vlogs ever. I'm so happy you enjoyed your time off, but my selfish side is buzzing that you're back 💜

Louise you looked INCREDIBLE on the day u did the Lorraine show, not to mention that bright pink lip matched that beautiful dress superbly!

[@astevens7531]

Louise !! Sorry for blabbing on but I must let u know that I just finished the wilde series - read all 3 in under a week , UNDER A WEEK! I adore reading & have read hundred of books so you should be proud to hear they really truly are the best books I’ve ever read 💕👏🏻 I adore the characters and feel in my own little bubble absorbed into robin and Lilas world ! As Skye would say, u are a LIT author and I hope more books are on the cards! The ending is perfect just perfect 😊Xx

[@lori-annelawrence6140]

Judy Blume my early teen years 11-13!! Great books I’ve just bought my 12 year old a 5 collection set to introduce her to my favourite teen author too x

[@originalindiechick7999]

Yes! An inspiring teacher introduced our class to Superfudge & from then on I bought all her books! They meant so much 😍

[@lori-annelawrence6140]

[@laurenj8688]

I love watching your vlogs on a Sunday morning while I have a coffee and a relax before going to work. Wish I could have come to your book tour so much (especially Leeds) but I was too busy at placement for my university course :(

[@bay4384]

Might be an odd one, but my special book is catching fire. I had already read the whole thg series before, but I started to re-read it during a very lonely part in my life. Now, whenever I’m feeling alone, I read it, because I feel like one of the characters became like a friend to me.

you should look into megababe’s thigh rescue, which is an anti-chafe stick people rave about! in case you ever need another option for chaffing. 🤷🏻‍♀️ and i also recommend looking at wacoal’s strapless bras since i’ve found they’re the best option for full-breasted women (me included!). 😊

“Oooooohh Tay” is from Little Rascals one of my fave films even now at 26 yrs old lol my kids love it too. When you said “completely present” at the start I thought you said completely pregnant and I was like 😱

[@anneophuis1671]

hopefully you feel better when you feel gratitude and homesickness at the same time. Luckaly there is no almighty judge of "the feels". I bet your life gets a bit crazy every now and then so why blame yourself when you have some strange contradicting emotions? Anyway, my wifi had been down for days which felt like ages so I am just a happy one watching this :) with love!
