Raya Finally Broke // Vlogmas Day 15

[@brendabarrera1594]

My heart literally melted at 1:17 when Neo held Raya's hand, too cute! 🥹💗

[@rent7950]

I think Louis had more fun at the baby song time than Neo did 😂 And Raya looking extra glowy in this episode!

[@DanaSenn]

Let me tell you that this vlogmas are definitely my favourite this year!! thank you for all the effort 💖

[@RayaandLouis]

Wow thank you! ❤️

[@jasonpacific111]

I want to thank you both... your happy sweet Holidays vlogs.. that includes high and lows is so comforting to many. And despite the pressures of the holidays there's natural Inner Joy always present 🎁🎄🎶

[@RayaandLouis]

Ahh thank you so much! ❤️

[@sahilmota4634]

Also Louis can you please add the " peace out , enjoy life and live the adventure.. boom" in the end😂

[@ingvar1996]

Yes please!!

[@Ruslan_davudov_photography]

No. It doesn't fit with this channel.

[@LauraDinh-ui6rd]

I love how involved you two are with his adventures 🥰❣️❤️💕

[@heycarrieand]

I am LOVING these daily vlogs! And what a gift you are giving Future Neo to see his parents love him and each other so much! ❤️❤️❤️

[@clairenevans6877]

We’ve been using cloth Xmas bags instead of wrapping paper for a few years now. Takes a while to build up your range of sizes etc but it saves so much rubbish and it is SOOOO much quicker to ‘wrap’ presents.

[@bymasastudio]

Ok the moment you put out your hand while explaining how freakin’ cute he looks in his elf costume, then he looks down and TAKES YOUR HAND WITH HIS LITTLE BABY ONE like he thinks you’re tryna hold hands 😭🥹 My heart.

[@RayaandLouis]

Just watched it back 😭😭😭 so cute!

[@bymasastudio]

​@@RayaandLouis 🥹🥹🥹 watched on repeat 18 times.

[@2010katak]

We always made bedtime book reading time to start with. We read three books always at 8:30p and my son loved going to bed and having one on one time with us with books. Eventually he read them to me. Some of my sweetest memories when he would catch me skipping pages. Sweet times.

[@angelowenss6399]

The puzzle you have we have in the twos room at daycare

[@amystaahs2118]

I have been loving your Vlogmas! It's very festive--whether it's a chill day at home or a day filled with festive activities. It has all been great plus I love that we get to see the other side of your personalities and it feels more relatable :)

[@jules9990]

Awww .. when Neo took your hand when you were showing off his outfit 🥰🥰 … adorable x

[@finlear3320]

Always put yourselves first 😊 you’re a gorgeous little family xx

[@ke380]

Lovely video guys!! See, staying home and being cozy is special as enjoying outside festivities. Keep the faith...Neo will get back on a schedule! I hope you all have a magical Christmas!!🌲🌟

[@jenniferwheeler6685]

You are putting me in the Christmas spirit!! Thank you for taking all the time and putting in all the work, merry volgmas!!

[@griselapuerta8644]

Hi! Hope you both get some rest. It's so cute Neo climbing the stairs.😊

[@ubu1184]

Aaaw so many memories with the baby jams groups.So much fun ,I'm glad you enjoyed it.He is the sweetest little bub ,little gentle soul.

[@susanfifer5744]

Awwww love it I was a facilitator for mother goose classes for parents and babes so much fun , now retired and waiting for my sons to give me grand babies , enjoying all your vlogs , so much happiness that all of us need in the world

[@unattendedgrandma4073]

I have been visiting the UK with three of my daughters and one SIL which has meant absolutely no time to watch anything until…flash forward to Raya being sick. That is me now. Trying very hard to be well before heading north. Now binge watching as I take it easy.

[@pattytracey3131]

OMG that lock puzzle is a huge favorite in our classroom!!!

[@Linus412]

Been loving the vlogs! Feels so nostalgic.. coming home from work and getting the notice "vlogmas day" aahh it warms my heart!

[@HeinemannHomestead]

We gave that same busy board to our oldest for his first birthday. It was a huge hit for all 3 boys, then passed on to another family.

[@sharondcrz86]

Neo’s elf onesie and maraca! Love it! ❤ He’s just too cute!!!

[@lanceandshelleypeters-en465]

Love these vlogs! Please take it easier for the rest of vlogmas. Maybe make 10 minute vlogs. We’ll enjoy a brief peek at the adorable Neo, (and you two of course😊) and some festive moments.

[@sandyc6569]

That music class was fun!! ❣❤❤❤❣

[@donna-ruthasher3148]

You two are just so so sweet to watch .

[@ShirleyMay2]

I love the daily vlogs. It's great to watch whether you are doing anything festive or just chilling. You should do more vlogs after Christmas. It's awesome to see the more down to earth side of your lives. I absolutely love the videos!❤❤

[@averagemandy]

The staples for baking are baking soda, baking powder, sugar, flour, butter. You can make many things with those ingredients you can use many alternatives like vegan butter, oat flour, coconut sugar

[@stephaneee4477]

Thank you guys for the holiday content. It hasn't really felt like Christmas this year, but these vlogs get me in the spirit even if it's only for a little bit.🎄 Sending love from Maine, USA!

[@bethb7965]

I just love watching your little family, no matter what you're doing. I enjoy your quiet evenings at home with Neo and Callie ❗️🐾🐾 I am far from being vegan , but your meals look soooo good!! Hope you guys get some restand get to have some down time. Wishing you wonderful holidays ❣️🎅🎄

[@sandradeegoulding]

Been loving these & will miss the daily but understand it’s way too much. Weekly seems long in comparison but grateful for all you do as a family. I can’t get enough of Neo! He is def an adorable super genius 😍💙😍 God bless you all 🫶🏽🙏🏽

[@kristenbrown4273]

Thanks so much for pla nt based meal recipe. Please share more

[@amandalondon2537]

You guys are amazing! I love that taking on vlogmas is awesome!

[@jennymichelle81]

Yours are the best vlogmas videos!

[@RayaandLouis]

Wow thank you so much! ❤️

[@bobbie-leedrudge5223]

1 tbsp of cornstarch and 3 tbsp of water can replace an egg in baking, you can substitute it in your favorites to make it vegan

[@ericabellew8809]

Minimalist baker has so many recipes that have never failed me! All her recipes used to be vegan but I think she has some now that aren’t so just keep an eye out but her vegan recipes are amazing!

[@cqbarnieify]

I love these daily vlogs. I hope Raya feels better quickly! 🤗

[@lizduffy9825]

Yay! I greatly look forward to the rest of the month. Take care, loves!❤🎄🎉

[@sahilmota4634]

These daily vlogs are filling my heart ... Feels so nostalgic ❤ #ogviewer

[@RayaandLouis]

Ah thank you! ❤️

[@andreahughes1]

I could watch you guys every day! I’m sad when Vlogmas is over! 😢

[@luvlivefoods]

He is the cutest little elf! Great outfit!

[@londonderry82]

I love watching you videos I hope all 3 of you have a awesome xmas And Newyears ❤😊

[@ccos9412]

Thank you for vlogmas!!!! You guys are a busy family ❤ Don’t worry about being late enjoy the moment .

[@annabellegettingwell1531]

I just love you two!!! Thank you for sharing your lives!

[@junehall2177]

Hi both, I cannot tell you how much I'm enjoying your vlogs, whatever you're doing, thank you. What a lovely dog Callie is, we once had a dear girl who looked like her. 😀

[@lindafett1826]

Louis is a child in a man's body🤣 singing with a smile from cheek to cheek😁

[@flooobe]

Can highly recommend vegan banana bread! There’s a great vegan recipe on BBC good food, but my suggestion having made it loads is to use that recipe but peel, core and dice up an apple to stir through it before baking. The apple adds some nice moisture. I also like to sprinkle some seeds or chopped walnuts on the top 😊

[@newwyorkklovee]

Loving all your vlogms videos, they are so genuine and heartwarming! ❤

[@sallyl5071]

I got alittle behind guys, but these Vlogmas vids are great! You guys really have such loving souls and are really great parents! Rya you got a good one and i say that because barring all of Louis great many other traits he communicates so well for a guy.I dont mean to sound sexist but my daughter is past 30 freaking out that she doesnt have that special someone and yes her clock ticking ( her words) she is running into too many guys that just dont seem to be in touch with their feelings ect like you and some of your friends seem to have with your mates but esp you imo..You guys look so happy together and really prob bring out the best of whomever you both come in contact with.💕, Hope you all had Happy Holiday's ..Im catching up .All the best !

[@bsale2024]

Loving the cozy Christmas vibes! Hot chocolate and cookies make everything better. ☕️ 🍪 Cheers!

[@kezzien56]

Your daily Vlogs are so wonderful and cozy it doesn’t matter the content thank you. Neo sure is a little genius with the lock toy and climbing those stairs wow 🤩 I hope Raya feels better soon and you both get some good rest soon ❤

[@louisebourne5779]

Hi Raya and Louis; Little Neo is just the most adorable little Elf ever ; he looks like he loved the music. I hope you feel better soon Raya you have done so much this month please take time out for yourself, sending you lots of love . xxx

[@RayaandLouis]

Thank you so much! ❤️

[@andreasgarden4852]

Love you guys dearly, and love spending time with you, but please get some rest.

[@hersheybarsam]

Vegan cookies: I honestly just use the Ghirardelli recipe and substitute for a non-dairy butter (usually vegetable shortening) and when I want to get fancy I get Hu Chocolate Chips (they’re amazing) and add flaky salt on top right as I pull them out. I love pecans in my cookies as well so I always add those too. But they are slightly soft, the chocolate is nice and melty, and they’re better than normal chocolate imo.

[@williamrusling6226]

Thank you so much for continuing to share your daily life thru your Vlogmas, I keep checking youtube for your post and love seeing what each day has in store for you

[@beverlypoirier705]

Raya you have every right to feel burnt out. The both of you have been on the go since the beginning of the month. You need to take time for yourself. Don't get me wrong I love every vlog you've done. But don't make yourselves sick! I love how festive it is in the UK 🇬🇧 during Christmas 🎄 used to be like that in the states but not so much anymore. Honestly I don't know when you get your energy. Can't wait to see the vlog with your families. Well get some much needed rest and I look forward to tomorrow's vlog. ❤ U guys ✌️

[@tinka9291]

Lucy Watson’s Vegan Chocolate, Raspberry & Pistachio Brownies are THE ONE ✨✨😋

[@eimearshanahan1567]

Louis, we need to see you on your own in the kitchen !!! " Raya's new pans " 🤣🤣 should be " Our New Pans "

[@goofmeister1949]

Oh my goodness yes, take time for yourself. I love you both.

[@kelliepineda9822]

I also buy beans grain flour sugar in bulk n store during covid did need anything but milk n tp. we have restocked tp n bought some shelf stable milk n have some stored in freezer.

[@alicerice8506]

These videos are great. Thank you for coming through for us

Jane's Patisserie vegan choc chip cookies are the money! Recipe on her website.

[@Marindatje]

For vegan choc chip cookies I highly recommend Liv B or the Domestic Gothess' recipes! Super simple and delicious 🥰

[@mynwlife]

Love this vlogmas series and our little girl(14 months) always says baby as soon as she sees Neo. It’s so nice to have these easy going videos from you guys even in all the chaos. And for vegan baking recipes I will definitely recommend you guys checking out The Minimalist Baker for her amazing recipes with good vegan substitutes 😊

[@michelle_nolan]

I’m not sure what I will do after Vlogmas!! What will I watch?!? I can just imagine how much work this is!

[@RayaandLouis]

Aw thank you!

[@melissamoeller9608]

So much fun watching the whole family at the musical play time. I’m proud of Raya for rallying as she was feeling so drained. Great job 👏. Well done Louis being a great partner and parent as well.

[@mastandstars]

Your son is adorable ☺️ Enjoy your family time. Don’t stress about the vlogs anything goes. ❤️🎄❤️

[@sweetpeainfrance6729]

Louis. did you create the intro animation?

[@RayaandLouis]

Yes he did!! Isn’t it amazing? 😍

[@ainsleyrobertson9543]

Loving these daily vlogs! You guys are so inspiring

[@suzannegooley5872]

Does Neo have a jolly jumper that attaches to the doorway? Seems like he would love that

[@andreaewert7204]

Cuteness over load with Neo in his ELF outfit at the song class and watching him climb the stairs. Hope both you get some rest! Short vlogs are just fine!❤❤❤

[@gretaformaglio4034]

Callie snuggling with you was so cute!

[@hands-free63]

These are so great ! Really spectacular because they are so real so organic ! I love truth

[@louisgwinn2326]

Did you guys and Kara and Nate come up with these? I saw it on their channel whilst cycling across the U.S.A!! So sweet to see recipes being shared.

[@kelliepineda9822]

I shop 1x a month n try to gongon2-3months in between . I don't have to get fresh veggies n milk every couple weeks but grow as much as I can n then I can n preserve it make my own jellies aswell n bread

[@eimearshanahan1567]

Raya, hope you are feeling better.XX

[@monikajane]

I loved the evening coziness❤

[@angelcooper9833]

Love the food content!! 💚🌱

[@lindascott2008]

Most people who add daily vlogs for the Holidays, tend to keep them around 10, 12 or 15 minutes max. You expect to much of yourselves, especially caring for a baby, and soon you will have a houseful of family. Please go easier on yourselves and back off on the unreasonable expectations you are putting on yourselves, it's painful, much love for the Holidays!

[@bevn362]

Neo is really getting around on the floor & stairs👍🏼👏🏼👏🏼 Do you know the house plants you have that have poisonous leaves? I hope Raya feels better soon-get plenty of rest😴😴

[@sheiladrury3144]

Loving the daily blogs just don’t burn yourself out, I just thought I’d mention do you follow Flying the Nest they have many travel adventures with a baby and a little girl called Hunter. Just check out the luggage they take with them. ❤

[@Eisforexcellence]

Aww Neo is becoming so aware, he's going to be such a quick learner.❤ Such a cute elf❤ Raya I couldn't keep going either, I remember those days, soo tiring and theres nothing wrong with saying, i just can't keep going,, I need time, I need a break, and your so lucky to have Louis, who will give you those things and he's such a great father and husband.👨‍👩‍👦 Thank you for letting us into your life 😊

[@kell0125]

I don't think Louis cooks very often lol I could be very wrong haha 😂

[@aimeemiller1823]

Louis defo having more fun than the babies doing the parachute🤣🤣

[@nancyleab]

I love to bake. Are you on Pinterest. I could share my vegan brownies. They were a hit

[@alicerice8506]

Louis has more fun than the kids 😂

[@mrshadenoughofallthis911]

There is nothing more cosy than lounge wear, cookies & hot chocolate.

[@johudson6765]

Great vlog… that baby of yours is just soooo beautiful 🥰 I make an amazing raw chocolate brownie using just few ingredients but another amazing treat vegan nutritious and divine is almond butter Madoola dates dipped in good chocolate ❤

[@deniporter3321]

When baking veagan, what is used to replace egg/s?

[@jennymichelle81]

Oggs

[@deniporter3321]

@@jennymichelle81 LOL, Thank you jenny, initially I thought you were trying to be funny, so of course I had to do a Google search for Oggs. Yep, there is a product named "Oggs". I don't think I have seen this product in our grocery store. Now I need to go on a hunt for an egg alternative. Thanks again!

[@ernnie_g]

lol it was driving me crazy that number 10 was still on Louis’s calendar I’m so glad he noticed 😂

[@clairesourivong4624]

You should get Neo a jolly jumper, he’d absolutely love it. x

[@bethearhart6368]

Raya, do you use a “Baby Book” where you’re hitting down days, times etc., all precious Neo’s accomplishments……Neo is very smart! ❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@juliasmithe]

Loving the cozy day

[@kathykoeven]

My opinion…They say 3 plus just so you can’t sue them. Just watch him closely so he doesn’t break anything off and choke.

[@brookeleary5900]

Yes, the 3+ is not so much about skill level as choking hazards. You'll notice over time that most non-baby toys say they are for ages 3+

[@julieblackburn1535]

Both mine could unlock the front door from 14 months. Beware....

[@hydro6917]

Raya you may be just low on Vitamin D and Iron as well but have some bloodwork done to see and if it is low it will make a world of difference on how you feel once it's dealt with a brought up to normal levels

[@amstergal]

Hi Louis and Raya, can you say, are the long sleeve t's long or longer in the body? They look like it in the pix, just wanted to check.. Thanks!

[@kerryteale6141]

Neo is so strong, my son walked at 10 months, Neo be so cute walking
