Definitely useful adding the captions , as I’m a mum myself in bed trying to be quiet and not wake the bubs.

[@kristinaaa_xo]

Also loving all the content !! I’ve been here since the dodgy attic reno lol

[@Mummysflippinhouse]

Thank you good to know it’s appreciated. I feel like KZbin does have an option for captions doesn’t it but I don’t even know how to turn them on 😂

[@desertcole4213]

My ADHD brain can’t focus with the subtitles. I prefer using the CC button . Then everyone wins.

[@ells1796]

Agreed! I’m currently nap trapped so have the volume super low so the captions are very helpful x

[@carolynturk-hu7je]

​@@ells1796Just a piece of advise, with napping noises. It's ok, because the alternative is children become noise sensitive, but if they can sleep through the laundry going, dish washer, doorbell ringing, phone ringing, vacuuming, timer on oven, microwave, etc. they are in a deeper, even rem sleep. That's the good stuff and you want them to have that. Life goes on when nap time and bed time comes around......enjoy, maybe nap too.

[@karenbaker1979]

I am loving these longer vlogs. Don’t get me wrong, I absolutely love your TikToks, but they always leave me wanting more. So I am so happy that you are now doing KZbin as well. Your videos make me happy!!!

Aww thank you so much Karen 🩷🩷🩷

Hearing “eat your crusts they make your hair curly” makes me want to cry 😭 I’m 25 now and that’s what my mum and dad always said to me when I was little too!! (Little did they know I didn’t like having curly hair so it deterred me even more from eating the crusts - it didn’t work, my hair is still curly) brb gonna go tell my parents I love them

[@emese_p]

Grandma actually is correct about chiropractors :D there is no conclusive scientific evidence of chiropractic treatment working, but there are loads of evidence on them not doing something correctly and messing up like CRAZY. there are certified doctors and physiotherapists who can help instead.

[@Mummysflippinhouse]

I think as well most of them aren’t doctors and call themselves that which is a big no

[@claireroper4897]

I use a humidifier during the winter to dry my washing. Just put it by the clothes horse in an utility room or small room, and it is dry in no time. It's really inexpensive to run! You can get a cover to go over the clothes horse with the humidifier inside. It is much quicker than the heated clothes rail.

[@livslibrary7946]

Use you a humidifier and a small fan so it push the water out faster 😊

[@claireroper4897]

In my haste of writing this comment, I use a dehumidifier to dry washing.

[@mrsoph28]

I second this, a good dehumidifier is worth its weight in gold during the winter for getting laundry dry!

[@lilosnow1759]

I think you mean dehumidifier, it sucks water out of the air whereas the humidifier does the opposite,

[@bolanleadisa]

@@claireroper4897 I was honestly trying to make sense of the comment. I was just about to Google 'drying with a humidifer' when I saw this follow-up comment.

[@soapiesoap5649]

Lol I remember I was told eating your crust will make your hair curly but there was a girl down the road from us with the most crazy curls that her parents did not know how to maintain and my little 5 year old self thought that was how my hair would go so I refused to eat my crusts for that reason 🤣 that backfired on my mum

[@Mummysflippinhouse]

Omg haha. Curly hair can be tricky can’t it. There’s a whole side of tiktok for it curly tok. That definitely back fired for your mum 😂

[@soapiesoap5649]

Suntan lotion is such a funny word though. It kind of describes the opposite of what you want the product to do - you don't want a suntan when you use it!!

[@Mummysflippinhouse]

Hahaha so true!!

[@vikkielora]

Virgin active, cheaper and more freedom with the crèche. We swapped while ago but I’m in Essex I imagine they have them where you are :) very similar facilities including spa

[@funkypixie1]

I go g gym. Only 20 quid a month off peak. You can cancel any time.

[@LostFirstNature]

I have so much admiration for you being able to achieve this content while looking after 3 young kids on your own. Really enjoy it and wish you every success with it. Not sure if you are looking for ideas for content but if you are, would be great to hear more about your relationship with food, it seems to be so healthy and intuitive.

[@Woodlington220]

Could you talk about any differences between parenting in the UK vs the US? I'm from the UK but when I was a nanny in the US I found it such a culture shock and ended up following a lot of the American childcare standards. Since returning to the UK, I don't think most of their approaches wouldn't work in our culture and would be pretty hard to keep up when all the other parents/kids around you are doing something so different - interested on your thoughts!

[@Mummysflippinhouse]

Yeah I think it’s very different. It’s a lot more relaxed here. The things I would let my kids do in the USA used to make people gasp. I also think kids are aloud to be in a lot more ‘grown up’ spaces here in the uk. That being said, some people probably prefer that in the USA. Just different cultures and how you are used to things

[@Aliinthecotswolds]

Wow my Soho farmhouse membership is £20 less than that! You then can get a kids membership for the teeny barn and that includes 2 hrs childcare a day! They need one in Surrey!

[@eilishhudson6606]

And the children can swim with their own memberships. I think it cost us £500 each child to get the under 18 memberships for them and the teeny barn is fantastic!

[@fredlovesfrank]

I just looked at David Lloyd but that’s ridiculous considering you have to be there for 9 am!

[@Noor-kp1yb]

Love the hair band in the bathroom 😂. Well done Sophie at the park. Charlie congrats on your exotic lunch at nursery.Olivia congrats on your first food try. Hope Peppa Pig is ok. Well done on the move,looks like you’re all settling in nicely.🎉

[@artyroman8498]

Is there a Nuffield Health near you. The crèche is included, kids membership is £17 and they have inside and outside heated pools, sauna and bar where I am.

[@AmyJM93]

Not sure where abouts in Surrey you are - but Nuffield health Sunbury is brilliant. They have a crèche/nursery attached, but can’t account for how good it is. And it’s far, far cheaper.

[@Juliehuliee]

Your shorts and videos have helped me during my postpartum journey!! 6 months in and seeing you being goofy gives me hope I will find that self of me again!!! Thank you for being realistic ❤️

[@HylerTimmy]

Hi ?

[@nowarah196]

I wish there was something other than david lloyd, council gym used to have a creche but that's gone 🙄🙄🙄 irritating

[@TiffanyDesign]

Thats why I didn't join David Lloyd near me, im in southampton, and its ridiculous. I joined a PT gym as it was still exspensive and then I use none gym childcare as it ended up being cheaper. My hayfever means I can't hang my clothes outside ever, its not worth living in a pollen bomb everyday. My little luxury is my drying machine 😆even though I know its terrible for the environment

[@abigailfenner]

If you have a food warehouse near you they sell kendamil for £9 I use it for my baby! Costs me £14 in tescos!

I've just had my American niece and nephews visit ireland for the last few weeks. I've sent them back to America using irish words which for the most part are the same as English, crisps, rubbish, toilet etc etc. The amount of words that are different are unreal. We actually say sun cream which must be an Irish thing!!

[@Mummysflippinhouse]

Yeah so many words are different. We’ve had a few confused moments for Sophie poor thing

[@lisanoahmilli]

Oh, I love your vlogs, Caroline. I could watch you all day, lol..... I'm a Kiwi living in the UK, we moved here last year, we are actually loving it. Well done, Olivia, for eating your first solid food, and Sophie for being a great big sister. Well done to Charlie for navigating the playground. Look forward to your next vlog. Keep them coming x

[@Mummysflippinhouse]

Aww Lisa! Thank you so much

[@SW-tz2jn]

I use David Lloyd and it is pricey but I do love the family vibe at ours. Lots of children’s parties events on. I found the crèche great but agree when I had two ages I found it really hard to actually use it. Now they are both kids club age it works better. Our crèche is open 3 hours and we can book max 2 hours. 1 hour is definitely not enough!

[@Mummysflippinhouse]

Ours is two hours max because that’s all there is, but then you have to pay another £7. So that’s £14 just to be able to shower. It’s so dumb, especially with three kids

[@asedition8847]

I now know that my decision to be childless was the right one….this woman has the patience of a saint….

[@HayleyBaker82]

I go to the gym at the local university hun in Bournemouth, it’s a cheaper option, no crèche but u will get discount on holiday clubs which they can go to from quite young. Have a look at ur local university. It’s ridiculously good value. You’re paying for the David Lloyd brand rather than the facilities. I love ur channel by the way xx

[@katie2412]

not being pedantic but … a humidifier adds moisture 😳 it’s a de-humidifier that will remove the moisture. It’s a great tip and really speeds up the drying time, we had a very small utility room, put the dehumidifier and a really really small portable radiator in the center, on the lowest setting and hung the clothing on the drying racks, closed off the room over night and everything was dry and fresh by morning, we were in student accommodation with no drier 🙃 love your channel ! love watching your family grow 😊 I am a brit living in san diego 🇬🇧🇺🇸

David Lloyd is too expensive!

[@christinek6082]

Yes, know you've been in the US for quite some time but David Lloyd is the worst, such a ripoff. (I was astounded when I moved here from the US what they wanted to charge for a membership.) You're better off finding an independent gym or even your local leisure centre.

[@Mummysflippinhouse]

It’s just so hard to find somewhere that has kids club as well though that’s what I’m finding hard and being close. Hopefully when Kyle gets here it will be easier. We used to go Lifetime which for our whole family was $500 but I could leave the kids for 2 hours, was much bigger and had a huge outdoor pool.

Dehumidifier for winter!! Will try out the whole house, dry full load of laundry in 2 hours and will make the heating be way more cost effective. So so cheap to run too!

I agree with your Mum about chiropractors(my husband went to one that should have had him screened because of his pain not going away after being adjusted, he had Non-Hotchkins Lymphoma, it broke through his sternum and presented itself the size of his fist on his chest between his shoulder blades, he survived a year and 5 days after diagnosis, passing away at 43 yrs young when our son was 4 years old). Will be 26 yrs this December since Patrick died. His passing away, gutted us.....We miss him terribly. So, yeah, no chiropractors! Get sorted with tests and such with a real Dr.😊❤

Love how Sophie wants to learn the English words ❤ I say sun cream 😂 Sun tan lotion to me is what you'd use to fake tan. Don't move to the seaside Caroline, I moved from West Yorkshire to Scarborough 12 yrs ago and I've lost half my hair. The water is terrible, every one used to say "you've too much hair Melissa, it's so thick" No I've thin hair 😢

Hi

[@lilosnow1759]

Sun tan lotion is different from sun screen, one helps you tan faster with moisturizer and oils built in while the other has sun factor to protect from harmful rays that cause sun burn.
