It would not be Sunday morning without You and Carlo's gift to each of us.

[@rmd99]

Agreed! I look forward to their videos every Sunday!

Particularly liked how natural and genuine this all felt. No fake set ups and posing for the camera.

I love your video! You did my daughter's makeup for her 50th birthday in Positano in 2018. She passed away from cancer on 9/1/2022. You should know the 11 of us now call ourselves the Eleven Lemons, and my daughter Jo Ellyn decided her 'sign' of returning would be a lemon. not a typical American red cardinal bird. At her memorial last weekend we gave away keepsake small lemon charms, and asked people to take them with them on adventures - Jo loved traveling! Thank you for making her 50th so special! I have told all the lemons to follow you on youtube and instagram. You are a very important part of my life, and Jo's!!!! Thank you for being you, keep sharing.

[@NickiPositano]

I'm so sorry to hear this news. I think I remember you all, you were in a house or apartment here and there were all the friends around while I did her makeup.Big hugs to you all 🍋🍋🍋

[@Mamakate2382]

Yes! Sweet Holly Poo.

Hello Nicki and Carlo! I want to thank you for the captions in English when Carlo is speaking in Italian. When he is describing something in Italian, I find myself recognizing a word here and there and following the captions confirms that I can pick out a word here and there and get the gist of the conversation. I have a deep appreciation for foreign languages and leaning other words in different languages is fun! :)

[@jessicaraye]

I find myself doing the same, recognizing a few words here and there. I lived in Italy for 2 years, but was in the US military so mostly was speaking English while I lived there. And even my Italian girlfriends mostly spoke English around Me so I only picked up a little bit

[@suzyq6767]

Homemaking and working from home don't have to feel like a never-ending circle. This idea changed my whole outlook. "Learn to love what must be done," Goethe. I love to shop, cook, clean, organize, garden, write, paint, and so forth because I decided to be in the moment and love the results and how it helps my family. Thank you for another interesting, breathtakingly beautiful video. Have a lovely, blessed, safe week.

[@sallyroddy6566]

and is sooo liberating. love and light

[@aleta5873]

SuzyQ--that's sounds like you're an enlightened woman.. some of us are still working on it..

[@jessicaraye]

Absolutely love homemaking ❤️ so fulfilling 💖

[@Anyakolokol]

awesome comment! thank you!!

Yes, but sometimes it does feel like a never ending hamster 🐹 wheel

[@kimkennedy123]

Holly-poo loves her daddy, doesn't she? Beautiful time of year in Italy!

[@tonitemperance9960]

I love the pace of life there. Eating home grown, helping friends in need, climbing thru il sentiero and keeping the traditions alive ❤🤍💚 Thank you for all your hard work and commitment.

[@susanmorgan995]

Loved seeing Michele harvesting grapes and Your grinning fishmonger - he seemed to enjoy being in the video. Enjoyed every bit of video as usual- Thankyou!

[@blancaeisenberg4554]

It is always great to see that I am not alone about the time it takes to take care of a home. :0) 🌻🌻🌻Thank you for showing reality of life!

[@deborahjohansen1776]

Your posts are always a breath of fresh air!! I look forward to them every Sunday! Thank you from Oregon in the US.

Thank you Nicki , for showing us there’s more to Positano , love the harvesting , the hikes , so much fun ❤❤

[@lynnsawatzky3272]

Aaaah, Lily cat😢… I watched one of your older videos yesterday (couldn’t wait for today 😂) and came across your beloved Lily. It was nice to see her in your video today. I have my own cat (si chiamo “Blu” perché ha gli occhi blu) and seeing Lily brought a few tears to my eyes… I’m sure you miss her. Thank you as always for your wonderful Sunday morning videos - hugs from Canada

[@ljjackson7106]

You two are such a pleasure and so delightful! Thank you for sharing some of your experiences and your life there in Positano! Would never get to see this were it not for you! Ciao! - Laura in Florida

[@amsterdam2007]

Thank you Nicki and Carlo we are back to Positano. This time is really busy but thanks to your videos we could go to so many different places and enjoy every part of amalfi cost. You should be Positano Honour Citizenship.

[@jeanthobaben]

I love the sense of community amongst your family and neighbors!

[@janelle144]

I love how Carlo calls his mother every day to see how she is doing. Wonderful video on the harvest. Now I am hungry after seeing you cook a delicious meal.

[@chriskelly477]

I really enjoy the way Carlo speeks Italian. It is really a great way to learn a little of a beautiful language while you share your amazing life with us. Keep it up !!!! You are really appreciated!!!!💗

[@rickeys]

So much respect for you and your family and friends. I feel badly that people don't understand the difference between visiting a tourist destination and living full-time in one. I've lived in a couple of such places. Thank you for sharing your life as you do.

[@jenjem5810]

"They definitely won't miss a few eggs." This is hilarious 😂. The cut finger. Sneeze. Calling out for dog to 🤫. I love your one bowl meals. You are honest and refreshing. Cookbook: Hopefully you can print it. I'd love hard copy book.

[@richards.8915]

Always good to see Nicki & Carlo!! Hiking in the Mountains of Positano with The Dog's... God Bless~ (Joy:)

[@dianna8626]

Such a blessing to live in the mountain and walk to the sea. Thank you for sharing.

[@annettewalter2273]

Carlo’s Indiana Jones impersonation was a hoot. Lovely walk, the water looked so inviting. Happy Grandparents day to all the Grandparents watching this! Obviously too much fresh air for Carlo, needed an intermission for a snooze. Congratulations on the launch of your book.

[@laurenglass4514]

You’re correct about all the daily chores and all the things that you do to make the day interesting. It is the chores in life that i see you doing that are productive and worthwhile and keep you keeping everyone fed and happy. Have a wonderful day.

[@thelittleredtina]

My weekend is finally complete! Thank you so much!

[@MP-fv4mr]

Yaaaaay! Sunday is fun-day with Nicki and Carlo! 🌸

[@janetcorey5102]

You always leave me with a peaceful feeling and take me to places that I wouldn’t be able to get to. Although we’re many miles apart, I to have those same days🇺🇸❤️

[@gloriaharwerth4865]

Thank you Nicki and Carlo for your wonderful videos. I love when you walk and show us those amazing paths because I will never have a chance to do it, that's why your videos are so important. Congratulations on your recipes book.💕😘🥰🍁🍂🎃

[@abee1248]

Love spending some time with you and Carlo and your fur babies, every Sunday is a bonus

[@kathyolney4083]

Isn't Fabio wonderful!!!😎 Bravo to all the men and women who farm the different levels of ground, installed the necessary mechanics!!! It's a part of Italy that always comes to mind, when seeing the mountainside layering...with trees or vines, knowing someone cares for and gathers the fruit and vegetation!!! You guys rule!!!💫😎

[@janetjones3653]

Nicki,Carlo and fur kiddos. Thank you for taking us on another Positano adventure and and allowing us a glimpse of your lives. Your videos are so beautiful and natural. Absolutely love how they are not staged or faked. My goodness melted my heart when Holly saw her daddy. Her smile said it all. Total love. Thanks again for sharing Positano and your live with us. Mush love from Arizona 🌵

[@flibbertygibbette]

Yay! Glad the cookbook is out. I can’t wait to make some of these recipes, and I’m actually glad they are everyday tried and true recipes, rather than newly invented recipes. To me that says the whole book should be useful. Congrats!

[@pattiwhite9575]

I am sure Carlos' morning routine is much different. I love that you are reclaiming old trails and exposing the steps once more. Keep on hiking and keeping your traditions. We have an old man here in Texas way out west in of our large state parks that is doing the same. But he is having to build steps for the hikers up in the mountains. He hauls in all the materials he needs. He has dedicated years to the work. It is amazing work for anyone to do but for an old guy out in the country miles and miles from any roads is dangerous. So thank you Carlos for your work.

[@pjmoody]

Thank you Nicki & Carlo. Week complete. You're wonderful.

[@kathypitel9358]

Hi Nicky & Carlo, it's just a joy to watch your daily adventures, it's like catching up with old friends. Your love of family, home, pets & great food. Reminding us what truly is important. Thank you for allowing me to live my dream life through you! I look forward to using your cooking book & enjoying all those beautiful photos! Well done Nicky!

[@lovelyskull3483]

My me time is time to watch you Nicki and Carlos. Such a beautiful gift you give me every week.Thank you so much.

[@aleta5873]

I just love the way you speak to each other...the language is wonderful.

[@supriyabarsode8039]

Congratulations on your recipe book ❤️ The scenes of the sea during the walks was beautiful.Interesting to see the pulley system.Take care while cutting tomatoes thats when one cuts oneself most ,juice from them makes it all so slippery.

[@tracy4aminute376]

I love how you take care of your home and your husband. Of course, he too takes care of you, but my husband and I have been married 38 years and I have always worked hard at home and valued my chosen* role of doing this. I am happy and he is happy. So much today this very important choice and role is undervalued, but I knew my own mind and knew that I had chosen well. My dad always told me to do whatever paid job I had well, but to remember that a corporation or a business will NEVER love you back. So ultimately, I put the most important thing first and the dividends are better (non monetary) pay.

[@katiestegman8083]

As much as I love seeing all of your adventures, there is something so comforting about the videos of your daily life at home. It's so peaceful and you and Carlo are so incredibly sweet with each other. Thanks, as always, for inviting us in. ❤

[@paulat7659]

I absolutely love u and your channel! We are close in age and would love it if you did a make up video at some point. I know that’s not what your channel is, but I know you have great pointers and tips for us ladies in our 40s! Hugs from Kansas, U.S.

[@marshamercer876]

You can tell Carlos really loves you. Lucky

[@Dana548]

Awesome video Nicki, I really enjoyed it…the puppies have so much fun every time they go for walks with you, I cannot wait to get the book and looking forward to cook some of the recipes soon…

[@Ms.Laterholmes5253]

That’s so great and my mother-in-law is always so excited when I sent her flowers because she said she never knew about grandparents day until I let her know about it it’s so fabulous that you guys are celebrating that thank you

Love the videos & the music! Toured Italy & Positano in 2017 in our motorhome with hubby for our 40th wedding anniversary & my 60th birthday in 40degree heat😮Loved every minute of it ❤️😎🌞🚐🥂🍺xxx

[@coolingwinds]

Hello Everywhere. Thanks for advertising my home town on your T-shirt Carlo! It was nice hearing Nicki speak Italian so casually. I’m impressed by her fluency, athletic ability and creating an e-book! Those red/purple grapes 🍇 look amazing. Ciao ☺️

[@judithgreen3689]

It’s nice to be able to live far above the “maddening crowds” (tourists) with such nature & such vistas. And harvesting your own wine. How Italian!

[@basildavidson4597]

I love the mountain walks. Wonderful vlog, just right for my Sunday evening viewing.

[@stopwaitingandtravel]

This video is one of your best. The clarity and beauty of your surroundings shined through. Thank you for all the hard work you and Carlo pour into these moments in your daily life.

[@normawright3179]

Thanks for another great snapshot into your life! Beautiful scenery as always. I'll have to try the tortellini recipe, looks good. I did watch your Dad making jam the other day, he seemed so natural behind the camera and I like the name "The Harry Diaries". Have a good week and we'll see you next Sunday!

[@cristinaturcin]

Yessss!!!! Love these types of vlogs. Relaxing around the house. Normal stuff that i do too. I like to see others do the same. Helps me feel like im not the only one who does boring stuff. It’s much more fascinating watching others. 😊

[@msinbalony]

This was the epitomy of a classic Nicki Positano vlog. What a joy.

[@bunnyhenry4853]

I was in Positano recently and hoped to run into Nicki or Carlo. I brought my Hello Everywhere T-shirt to pose with them. Two locals said they knew them, but our week was over and we were off to Rome. I am watching one of your videos this a.m. as we returned to Canada a few days ago. Thank you for the memories. Bunny

Two weeks post Hurricane Ian, I was thankful to relax watching your wonderful videos. I had no electricity or internet for a week, but life is getting back to normal. Please pray for those less fortunate in south Florida. Thank you for sharing, Nicki ❤

Woohoo….the new recipe ebook is out! I’ve been excited/waiting since you first announced it.

Nicki, you are beautiful as always. I hope Skye is doing well. The video was great today. Now it’s time to read my new recipe ebook. 🥰👏

[@neilgoodwin1153]

Another great, natural video. Great to hear that the "daily grind" exists even in Positano ! LOL. You have to admire the determination and fitness of the grandparents using those paths everyday, before the road went in. Amazing.

I so enjoyed this. Thank you. Suzi

I would love to see a video you teased a few months ago where you talk to more of the older people in Positano and record their stories!

[@addisonblu5191]

You and Carlo are beautiful souls and I am grateful that you allow us a glimpse into your beautiful life. You inspire me to be more present in the mundane daily grind. For me previously, it was a constant battle to balance business, meetings and the many chores at home to keep it running. I’m working on being more present and to try to enjoy my daily chores. From the outside, my life is beautiful. I don’t know why I dreaded my to do list so much 🤣 but once I started being more present, it’s actually quite lovely so thank you.

[@lena-roseorlando219]

Can’t imagine all the climbing in such natural settings. Love watching your cooking the baked tortolini. Simple yet so delicious.

[@philippapay4352]

We all have that feeling of chores and errands followed by prep and clean-up followed by more of same. LOL. Love the small wooded area in which you are walking today. What a gorgeous day. The dogs are happy. Those grapes look so succulent. So there's a cable car for the grapes? I love it. Smart. Glad that Carlo got to help Michele and not just entertain us. Thanks for showing us his harvest. Always wear sneakers (trainers?) for that type of hike/climb or hiking boots. Flip-flops are dangerous. So are sandals. Some jurisdictions do not allow that type of shoe for driving even. I don't know, Carlo. Any minute we may see Humphrey Bogart pulling the African Queen through the reeds and tall grasses! Lunch looks delicious. Thanks for including us.
