[@brilliantbutblue]

This vlog was so nice, felt like just hanging out with a friend! Thanks for sharing this week of relaxing and pampering with all.of us, you deserve a little break. ❤

[@shellybell923]

I have to admit I admire you so much. The way you make Luna part if the family. Thank you for sharing your life and keeping updates on all aspects

[@jaybee608]

I liked it. I would miss Everett too. Luna represented for his absence.

[@ThisAlaskaLife]

Luna will have to keep us all entertained once he starts school and we will figure out how to get our Everett in after school!

[@jaybee608]

@@ThisAlaskaLife yep! That's mandatory!

[@AZJH8374]

I've watching Out Door Boys since he was still working as a defense attorney. Perfect for Mark to hook up with him!! Especially since you are all LDS!! Good plug for Marks channel for sure!!! God Bless!!nurse Judi in AZ and E Minister 🙏🏻

[@fionadavies7217]

Wonderful video nothing better for the soul is having time for self care, had a chuckle when you took yourself on a date your humour brighten my day..

[@ThisAlaskaLife]

Self-care is so important. I didn't realize how little time I have had to myself lately. Thank you so much for watching !

[@bettyruth9142]

We watch the Outdoor Boys. They will have fun !! All you are doing is working, take a rest while you can !! Love watching you and your family!! 😀😀😀😀😀😀

[@ThisAlaskaLife]

How awesome! Their collab videos will come out soon. Thanks for being here to support us, we are so grateful.

[@michellecook7586]

The soap you sent me last year...OMG...I LOVED IT! It smelled so good...I found a lady who makes soaps here locally and have started to buy my "pampering" soaps from her. My favorite so far is the bomb pop it literally smells like the bomb pop popsicle. I am going tomorrow and getting my nails done for the very 1st time...just a happy birthday to me present...I could get use to this self pampering thing...lol Much Love from Missouri God Bless

[@ThisAlaskaLife]

I am so glad you loved the soap, every one is so good. Happy birthday, hope you enjoyed the manicure! Much love from Alaska!

[@gloriakirkland8337]

Laura love watching your video you are a very special person and love seeing all the boys learn

[@ThisAlaskaLife]

Thank you so much!

[@melissaporterfield2732]

Hi Lauren, I absolutely loved this blog you deserved a little self care. Glad to have Everett and Mark home safe. Can’t wait to see u in the next blog Everett. Boys the count down for school to be over has started. Yay!! Happy Mother’s Day!

[@belindaroberts3090]

I tried to get on the Instagram train several times but I couldn't figure it all out so I got rid of it. I wanted to use it so I could talk with the youtubers that I watch. Plus youtubers also sometimes require you to use Instagram to put in for their giveaways. But I just can't function in there. Lol! I don't like tiktoc at all but I do watch tiktoc videos. My wardrobe is mostly blacks & grays.

[@ThisAlaskaLife]

So many different social media platforms!! Hard to figure them all out. I like looking at Instagram but have never grown much there. I do like to be able to message with people easier on there. I am happy to have you here. I always do my giveaways straight through youtube, this is where my community is! Thanks for watching.

[@karenleemallonee684]

Even I feel more relaxed after watching that vlog! Those moments you can get for yourself are golden, and so needed and necessary. I loved that Luna was your little buddy the whole time, she's pretty awesome! I can't wait to see what those soaps are all about, I love special soaps & candles too!!! Thank you for sharing your Home Alone week with us, loved it!!! 🌼

[@ThisAlaskaLife]

Love that! Glad you were able to relax and enjoy watching. Have a lovely week, the soap giveaway will be coming soon!!

[@jean-mariesimpson8989]

So glad you took care of yourself!

[@ThisAlaskaLife]

Thanks! It was nice to have some time to relax.

[@katiethornton2020]

I love watching your vlogs and I love Luke from the outdoor boys

[@ThisAlaskaLife]

YAY! Luke is awesome! Their collab videos will come out soon,

Glad to all be back together. Have a wonderful week!

[@sarahekstrom8510]

My kids are testing this week. I and they are wishing that they had missed testing while at the cabin. When Everette goes to school you got Luna as your next side kick. That was pretty funny to hear about the famous cat.

[@ThisAlaskaLife]

Darn testing!

The bathtub is one of my favorite things we added with the remodel. So good for a relaxing soak. Hope you have a wonderful week!

[@friederikejansen5085]

Thanks for bringing us along on your 'free' week ;) you deserved that massage and pedicure like no one else and I have to admit that I'm also drawn to dark and muted colors. But its just our style and very versatile. What a generous and lovely idea of you to treat one of your subscribers with a surprise gift! I'm looking forward to your next video, keep up your excellent work Lauren!!!

[@ThisAlaskaLife]

Thank you so much! We are going to be doing a bigger giveaway than just one this time, we're celebrating 10,000 subscribers! Announcement will be in a video soon. Thank you so much for being here!

[@lindahines4960]

Hey Lauren! ABSOLUTELY WONDERFUL VLOG!!! Taking care of yourself always makes you feel better and I’m always ready to take on anything after a good workout massage pedicure manicure uh taking a nap. 😂 LOL. But t your week alone looked great. You definitely earned it. You work very hard in my opinion!! I like that you took the older boys to the movie and your welcome home to Mark and Everett made me tear up a little 🥰. I love those homemade soaps. The one I had smelled so clean. I found some at a State Park in Alabama where this person made them. Again loved the vlog ♥️. You and your family have a wonderful week 🌸.

[@ThisAlaskaLife]

Thank you so much Linda! I am so glad you enjoyed spending time with me, Luna, and the boys. Have a wonderful week and see you again soon!

[@brilliantbutblue]

It's a great vlog thoughly enjoy this kind of content.

[@ThisAlaskaLife]

Thank you so much!! Enjoy your manicure!!

[@leekorten1791]

Well done and congratulations on your weight loss, you're looking fantastic. It was lovely to see so much of Luna, she is such a beautiful fur baby. I'm glad you enjoyed your time out week, it's amazing how a week can 're-charge you. Have a wonderful week 💞

[@ThisAlaskaLife]

Thank you so much! Hope you have a wonderful week as well!

[@marcellahicks3984]

What a wonderful Week of Mom!! I actually welled up with Happy Tears when you were heading for your Massage. I always say minimum to get a Massage every season change. It really helps to Revive, recharge and activate the Body to season change. Always one extra where you feel more drained. Allergies always get me between Spring and Summer Start. Thanks for taking us inside. I love to see how the Atmosphere is presented. Beautiful. And a Pedicure, you are right the scrubbing of feet so goooddd!!! You oughta get Mark a Pedicure. I surprised Gary with his first one at 60. He surprisingly loved it. It is so hard to cut toenails properly. The amount of rugged hiking, his feet probably take a hit. I tend to gravitate to Blue, but lots of black. My shoes are usually black. But I like a darker peach, redish orange. And for some reason I like one pair of colored shoes. I bet you could find a green pair like your purse. I find a colorful scarf can change an outfit with colored shoe. Just a thing. I love your purse, so beautiful. It was fun going to movie with the older Boys. Haven't been to a movie in years. Seems like by the time I think about going the Movie is out of the Theater. Such a fun vlog. And so exciting about the Collaboration for Mark. The Alaska Boys Rule. I love seeing Dad and Sons growing and I earning. And your Guys are the greatest to go on Adventures with. GARY 'S EYES ARE HUGE... That means so much for Homebound Folks Big Hugs

[@vanessah314]

The silicone muffin liners are nice too bc you can use them in place of a muffin tin which is handy if you are doubling a batch or even just have a small kitchen.

[@ThisAlaskaLife]

Thanks for the tip! I will have to try them that way. Thanks for watching, we are so grateful!

[@paulapaul3082]

I am glad you enjoyed your time home alone. It is good to be able to get things done for yourself, spend time with the older 3 boys, and then good to get your travellers home again.

Congrats on 5lbs. Love your idea of rewarding yourself. Brianna's dressing is my favorite if not homemade. It makes great marinades also. Lovely week for all of you!

Like breaking it down into 2lb goals because it makes it seem much more doable! I have loved that Briannas dressing, it is perfect for my beet salad!

[@ThisAlaskaLife]

He is LOVING mountain biking. I am all for these life long sports he is participating in.. x-country running and skiing, mountain biking. Also, all things we like to do as a family. The pre-algebra has been a real stretch for him this year but I am glad that he is taking on the challenge! Have a wonderful day!

[@robyn7287]

Hi Lauren, really enjoyed the chat while just doing every day things. Luna is super cute , very vocal and affectionate,for a 🐈‍⬛ cat. Maybe include her a little more, short bursts to fill in bits. I haven’t had a massage for several years, glad you enjoyed yours.

[@ThisAlaskaLife]

Now that it is just me and Luna home, I will try to remember to include her more! Thanks for watching, I'm so grateful!

I watched one of your videos and you made egg roll in a bowl but I can’t find it again 🙄 hopefully you can put me in the right direction. Take care and spoil yourself for the next few months we are looking forward to meeting your baby girl.
