Vlog : A Little Bit Of Decluttering & Baking : Minimalist Family Life

[@elizabethk66110]

I see a reply it looks like she made recently on her Ko-Fi account, it looks like it was made sometime in the past couple of weeks and says: “I’m hoping to return to KZbin soon. Life has just been very busy lately. 😊❤️” And she says in another reply, “ I have been doing some part time work for a family friend so have taken an unintentional break from KZbin. I’m not sure what I want to do with my channel so I have just been procrastinating making any decisions.” Glad to hear she is well and just busy! :)

[@JOYSILVERWOOD1]

Bayley we can't cope. 😅 are you coming back.

[@kristyclark3407]

I soooo miss your vlogs, they are such a great inspiration .I keep checking back to see if u have a new one .please let us know if u are gonna continue or not please .

[@toriebrooks]

Been thinking about you and your sweet family! I hope you all are doing well! We miss you! 🥰

[@user-ij9uk8tn8i]

I've been busy, and not watched any of your videos for a while, but I'm off work today, and really enjoyed watching a couple while I had my cup of tea! You really inspire me to make my appartment calm and cosy, and to dig out my knitting needles. We're just heading into Autumn/Winter here in England, and you're making me want to curl up with my knitting and an audio book as the nights draw in. 💕🍁🍂🧣🙂

[@inspiringsimple]

Good morning, Bayley. My children think I am world famous now because you mentioned me. Thank you 😊. As usual you have inspired me to declutter and I really hope to actually get back into being creative again. I made 10 quilts in 2020 and then it’s like I just stopped. I really want to get back into it and do other creative things as well like crochet. One day I might get really wild and learn to sew a zipper 😂

[@AMcDub0708]

Zippers are so much easier than you are making it out to be! I hardly sew and I watched some KZbin tutorials and was able to do it just fine! Less than 10 mins and it was sewn in! 😊

[@helensmith7452]

Hi Bayley. Hope all is well with you and your family. Missing your videos. 🥰💐

[@JOYSILVERWOOD1]

Ima catch a flight up to Windy Wellongton soon and start stalking. I wonder if anyone who knows Bailey can let us know if she's ok. For some of us we have been following for years since the wee wooden house when the boys were small and we have grown fond of Bailey. Her content is so real and charming and cosy. It's got me through a really horrible time in my life when I was so down. We don't actually know you know you but we feel like we do. ❤

[@marylynsheldon8389]

I’m concerned and miss Bayley my fav channel I do hope she is well x

[@marylynsheldon8389]

Bayley is fine she has taking a break as been very busy x

[@vikkibendle1749]

Thankyou for letting us know Marilyn. With the aweful weather event coinciding with her vlogs stopping I was worried about Bayley and her family too. Come back when you are ready Bayley..we would love to see you again.

[@mishypeas2959]

Hi Bayley! Do hope and pray that you and family are keeping safe and doing well…👍 Missing you much and hence revisiting your earlier videos…. Take care.

[@Polly3488]

Hi Bayley - like others have said, I hope everyone in your family is doing ok. I saw Hawke’s Bay mentioned as well, and reminded me of the beautiful video from your in-laws’ home❤

[@rebekahmccaul]

Thinking of you all in NZ re the cyclone and now Earthquake! Rebekah 🦘

[@untetheredsoul]

I just looked up a UK version recipe for this and the dense marshmallows in the explorer sweets are like our foam bananas and shrimps if anyone is wondering, I'm definitely going to try this, thanks so much for sharing!

[@bayleymadeit]

Thank you for sharing that! Yes we have those bananas here too. 😊

[@iriswelch3553]

I keep just a few cat toys in a plastic container with some catnip. He gets one or two "fresh" ones each week!

[@Helikins15]

Hi Bayley. I hope you and your family are Ok. I heard about all the events that have happened in NZ recently. Sending love and prayers. ❤️

[@ingridmarsden8866]

Please let us know Bailey even if it's yes or no so we followers know whether to check in or not. No explanations needed but it would be nice to know if you and family are ok.

[@annmartin5347]

I'm watching you at 21:24 pm, not long in from work and I have my tumble dryer on! All part and parcel of life at home!

[@marylynsheldon8389]

Hi Bayley come back soon , thinking of you from the Uk 🇬🇧 x

[@helenwilkin8193]

Hey, we in northern ireland call ur lollycake 'fifteens' as the recipe we use has 15 biscuits, 15 mallows etc. x

[@moedersminimalisme5181]

I miss your vlogs sooooo badly!!! ❤

[@tessa264]

Hi Bayley, Another great inspirational video thanks. I have been following your videos for the last 5 years and they have helped me so much as a wife and mother. I had our old house very minimalist and organised but we have just bought the family farm and I am going to find it a challenge to find a new level of minimalism for us as we have doubled our square footage. I was also wondering if you could do a video on kids' extracurricular activities/managing time from the perspective of a minimalist parent? Also some ideas for holiday activities... you mentioned you do an activity each morning in the holidays? Thanks

[@TheJoyNinjaNZ]

I'm up late crafting and I love a good vlog in the background, I find those household sounds calming, they aren't intrusive or take away from the enjoyment of your little declutter, bake and knitting update. I'm honored that you mentioned me, and so glad you find my videos calming. Haere pai (go well)

[@cherylhong6928]

yes she is so calming in her blogs, I call her the calm lady, please come back soon Bailey, we all miss you and your calm manner

[@lydiajeanf53]

Hi Bayley, I hope everything is okay? I remember Mike's parents were on east coast, I hope you were all safe.( regarding the storm) Missing my tea time breaks with you!

[@LisaGray1000]

I find your videos so enjoyable...your one of my fav you tubers even though its so simple. So many little tips and ideas I get off you. I love that you have chosen to be a stay at home mum and live the life you have chosen. I made the decision years ago not to go back to full time work. I currently do about 10 hours and mum life the rest of the time 😊

[@Polly3488]

Always lovely to see you! I so admire how intentional your life is. That is what I’m striving for. If you are ever able to ship to the US in the future, I have my eye on that map bag! LOL

[@Renske545]

Miss you Bayley! Hope you’re all alright ❤

[@blkbrn1952]

Hi found you in a Flylady video from five years ago! Love that you are still using her system to keep your home in order, gives me lots of hope.I'll definitely be bing watching your videos.

[@MrsBullfinch]

Love your scarf. It's beautiful and the colour suits you.

[@lieslschick3259]

Sure do miss your videos. Hope all is well with you and your family.

[@johnsminimalism9830]

i love when i have a declutter day and there's nothing to declutter haha! also i love everything on your felt store, wish i could buy something but i live in europe :(

[@thatswhatisaid8908]

In some areas, I'm approaching that result, too. So I'm really just tidying. Or reorganising. Feels good, and gives me encouragement to just keep at it.

[@ajaep1]

Hoping all is well with you and your family, Bayley!

[@Sophie-nv6vi]

Hi Bayley, hope you and your family are safe and well. Just to let you know we’ve been thinking of your country with all that’s been going on x

[@jessicaderstine4061]

So, I've been forced into a big transition in my daily schedule and struggling to make it feel smooth. Overall I'm needing to add in some slow time. Today I'm struck by your morning coffee and afternoon tea. I'm not certain how you do it but I'm seeing that I might want to incorporate sit down/drink/be still time in my daily.

[@inspiringsimple]

I often manage to line up my morning coffees with Bayley’s upload schedule because if I guess where I live 😆 The afternoon tea part is very very hard but I’m determined to try to do it as well.

[@bayleymadeit]

During the school break I let the boys cash in their screen time at morning and afternoon tea time so the house is quiet 😅 I hope you can fit some time to slow down into you day ☺️☕️

[@thatswhatisaid8908]

Kiddies at school get morning and arvo tea, and full time workers do too. So should homemakers!

[@jessicaderstine4061]

A dense marshmallow might be a nougat. Malt biscuits Aren't an American thing but I wonder how they compare to Digestives. On the West Coast it's fairly easy to find those

[@bayleymadeit]

Hi Jessica, I think digestive biscuits would be great. Nougat might be a little too chewy. 😊

[@natashalikestea]

Your videos always bring me such joy. A catch up with a good friend 💫

[@margieanne9328]

I think you did a beautiful job on the knitting.Have a great day.

[@bayleymadeit]

Thank you 😊

[@margieanne9328]

@@bayleymadeit your welcome

[@kathleencarr2622]

There’s a candy in the US called “circus peanuts” that reminds me of the candy you are using with the dense marshmallow texture. Love that you mended the towel to get it to last a little longer! I have had my towels for years and only the edges were ragged so I sewed some biased binding around them and I’m hoping they last me at least another year 🤞🏼😆

[@bayleymadeit]

Hi Kathleen, I just googled circus peanuts and yes they look very similar! 😊

[@jowatson2607]

Love seeing a new video from you in my feed 👍🏻 I didn’t notice any background noise, maybe because I wasn’t wearing headphones? X

[@justnoticing]

Thanks for another enjoyable and inspiring vlog. The background noise was not really a problem. For me, seeing as we are planning to downsize to an apartment, it is good to see the reality of living in a small apartment. I loved the mix of decluttering, baking and craft. I hope the boys have settled happily back into school and that you are enjoying getting back into your routines again. It usually takes me a few weeks to adjust after a break even though I am retired and have adult children and a grandchild.

[@pamelataylor7865]

Where are you Minimom? I’m missing you 😢 hope you’re ok 😘

[@Mieke256]

Hi Bailey, I hope you and your loved ones are ok with all that has been happening this past week! You and your fellow New-Zealanders are in my thoughts ❤

[@jagwwings]

Hi from Cleveland, Oh! I had to share I was walking through the grocery store and saw Tim tams for the first time. I had to try them! Now I'm wondering if they have always been a thing here. They made me think of you. Hope you're well 💕

[@Mieke256]

It’s such a great feeling of accomplishment when you finish a projects! I love the shape of the scarf/shawl you made. I have too many crochet projects going now, time to get them finished one by one. The lolly cake is similar to what we in the Netherlands call “Arretjes cake” There is no candy in it though, but melted chocolate, butter and biscuits. Haven’t had it in a long time. Will have to make it soon!

[@marylynsheldon8389]

We all miss you Baley …. How are you and your family? Xx love 💕 from Uk 🇬🇧

[@julieanne7223]

short or long, it is always nice to see you! 😍

[@klarab84]

I like a bit of background noise in some vlogs, especially when you are doing something, like making coffee, decluttering, baking or sewing. It feels like I’m there with you, it feels real and homelike. Always like your videos! Thanks!

[@mstorry9325]

Hope you and your family are keeping well.

[@WildKraftyAotearoa]

Atamarie Bayley, love the video, as always! Your projects, completed and uncompleted look fabulous!!!!!!!!!!! Mending the towel is so neato. I lovvvvvve your resourcefulness!

Yum… lolly cake. My mum would never make that for us when I was little! Lucky kiddos ❤ Thanks for the sweet little vid 😊

Your current hair color! It compliments your lovely face so naturally. My favorite so far.

Thank you! ☺️

I just want to say hello from Tokyo and know you are doing well. Looking forward to seeing your new videos😊

[@oneclassybiird7100]

Lolly cake is my fave. I don’t like cake, so I have that for my birthday sweet treat❤

[@Karen-gv8fp]

Hi Bayley. I have seen what's happening in NZ on the news and hope you and your family are ok and have not been affected by the cyclone or the earthquake. Just know that I am thinking of you and sending best wishes for your wellbeing and safety. 💐🙋‍♀️🇦🇺

[@Woeschhuesli]

Well done with your knitting, Bayley! A sense of accomplishment is always a good thing :) We've had some little fabric toys from McD Happy Meals for many, many years for our various dogs - they wash just fine (my youngest is 27 if that is any indication!) and are pretty tough play/chew things...

[@gwenvann7279]

I couldn’t hear any background noise either. Your scarf came out beautifully

[@marylynsheldon8389]

Hi Bayley, we all Miss you and keep checking your channel to see if you’ve uploaded. We hope you are ok are you just having a break? our thoughts are with you hope everything is ok please let us know how you are…. We miss your uploads. I’m praying everything is ok at your end. Take care xxx 😘

[@ANNtique]

Your knitting looks so neat and even. I enjoy the project updates. How’s your veggie garden coming along? That dress is so pretty on you. I think that each time I’ve seen it in a video

[@bayleymadeit]

Thank you Ann, the veggie garden is going well. I will try and show its progress in some vlogs 😊👩🏻‍🌾

Those lolly cakes are called "Fifteens" in Northern Ireland :)

[@countrymousesfarmhouse497]

We make something called hedgehog slice in Australia that's a no bake slice too. I think it should be called echidna slice . Lol. Maybe those lollies are like lolly bananas? That sounds like a great treat anyway. I needa full declutter here. We are moving a lot around, so a garage sale would be great for all the big stuff too. Thank you for a great vlog. 🤩

[@thatswhatisaid8908]

I thought they might be like clinkers? A girl at work made a slice like it, but with clinkers and red frogs. It cured me of eating sugar for about 6 months!
