So excited for you Mindy! Buying new furniture for a new house is so much fun.

[@lh3864]

I was just thinking of this yesterday, that I would love to hear Larry talk about his parents, what they were like, what his childhood was like, the good and the bad, just what it was like growing up, because he has such a easy going personality and is so stable mentally, that I would love to hear what shaped him as a person. I know he may not have his own channel anymore but maybe a sit down video with you on your channel about that would be so interesting!! Love y’all!!!! Happy for you Larry that you get to play sports!!

[@sherrimartin1057]

I agree !!

[@elana81RDH]

Yes!! ❤

[@august21xp]

I agree, he’s very stable emotionally and spiritually

[@elana81RDH]

​@@earthmoonstars2013 Because we love Larry! ☺️

[@kzfingerprint]

It's so funny you say that, I was going to comment a week or so ago asking for this - but didn't know if he would mind sharing

[@lmperez1665]

I have bought and sold many houses in my time and I just want to remind you Mindy that you do not have to sell any of your furniture to the new owners. You can say no and they will still buy your house assuming you didn’t sell the home furnished.

[@HughMadBro]

I think they're just flirting with the idea.

[@alma12102001]

Larry, looking into the camera, upside down, got me bursting out 😂....thank you Larry, you made my day 😅

[@Terra-6954]

I love Ikea!!! The food is good, the Swedish meatballs mash potatoes and gravy are great. So excited for your little family on the sale of your home and this new phase in your journey. PS I loved Bridgerton and I loved Queen Charolette just as much if not more. I had to binge watch it because it was so good.

[@deniserichards6941]

Yes!! Ikea is amazing!!! You are missing out. The Swedish meatballs are so yummy! Cinnamon rolls too.

[@MissDeviancy]

You will love queen charlotte; such a beautifully done show. its my favorite out of all the seasons

[@sydneyjpowell]

My entire apartment is IKEA & Amazon furniture 😂 I love the Swedish meatballs at the IKEA cafe! My bedroom set is the Hemnes… I have all of it, bed frame, side tables, and dressers! Also the green & gold kitchen is my dream! Ever since I saw that combination a few years ago it’s been my end goal when I buy a house someday!

[@dawnribbeck4526]

I love the hemnes bedroom furniture! We and my adult daughter have it too!! It’s so durable and sturdy! Also love the billy bookcases and we have a dining room set from IKEA

[@Furs_Feathers77]

Never put hot food in the fridge. Wait till it's room temperature to do so. Bacteria and also it will spoil faster too. 😮

[@gmjsgirl]

When working with those containers, you have to adjust it and yes, they are hard to close because they make them airtight

[@moreamyb]

IKEA’s food is pretty good. I love the meatballs and the pastries! Most of your footage seemed like it was on the display floor which is great for inspiration, though I personally enjoy shopping on the other floor more where you can more easily compare items. They definitely have so many good storage options and a lot of their stuff is actually good quality. I’m so excited you’re watching Queen Charlotte! Please share your thoughts! I think I actually enjoyed it even more than the two seasons of the main show. It was one of the most beautiful love stories I’ve ever seen.

[@Hackmommasaurus]

Hey mindy!! Hello from Ohio! Can’t wait to see this journey of your new home congratulations 🎉. Wanted to give a tip, when it comes to dinning room tables, I wish when we picked out our farmhouse table (similar to the second one you shown at Ashley) that we would have thought about the future with kiddos! Love the table, but when the way it’s made it’s hard to have a booster in the chair and pull it up against the table. Our son is one and we converted him to a booster so he could sit with us at the dinner table and eat easier , his legs can’t go under the table due to the way the table is built, boosters make them a littler higher and the wooden piece under the table gets in the way from being able to put their legs under the table correctly we make it work but Just something to keep in mind :)

[@AlbaDouek1]

Definitely the Swedish meatballs, they are a must! Here in England (even in Israel where I lived) Ikea is a very popular, very affordable shop and if you mix with some more exclusive items, the result can be very good. I’ve just helped my son doing exactly that and his flat looks fab!

[@Ashley92090]

Love ikea! There’s a learning curve. Showroom leads to the store. Need to take pics of the numbers on items to find them in the area where you get the boxes lol. It’s confusing until you figure it out! The meatballs are good!

[@meganbarto4138]

I can't wait to see your new home. We don't have an Ikea near us so I've never been but glad you found what your looking for at Ashley Furniture.

[@Emily-ue5fp]

It's kinda cool you'll be able to get a new couch and entertainment center. Won't have to worry about disassembling them and moving it over to your new house 😀

[@cathleenm9986]

Ikea food is good and reasonably priced. Definitely go for a meal. Even if you’re not into the aesthetic of their furniture pieces, they have gel rest decor items, plants, blankets etc. be wary of the picture frames though because they are differently sized than typical measurements.

[@reffitt8705]

Girl how did you get lost in the ikea, 🤦‍♀️ 😂 they have arrows on the ground to point you in the direction they want you to follow lol. I love ikea!

[@arbenitaberkolli2550]

So happy you guys have a family together 😊

[@samanthashaw4673]

I love Ikea! The meatballs are my favorite! It can be overwhelming though for sure, the display area has arrows on the floor that take you through every section, so you don't get lost and can still see everything.

[@MissJennyLeexo]

I love the furniture in Ashley’s I’ve been to IKEA many times they have parts where there is kids rooms and playroom set up and part where they sell containers and baskets of all sorts and really cheap stuff and they have a clearance part too where furniture and things run extremely cheap too. You have to take an all day kind of trip there snd yes good is good there for sure . It can get a lot though for kids so you might have to plan it on a day that both of you can go on your own to really look around . Cannot wait to see what you come up with .

[@tinafrancis4293]

Every time I go to IKEA I always come out with candles lol I find it a little overwhelming but I agree it gives great ideas how they set things out, food is not bad at all and reasonable prices, thanks for a lovely vlog ❤❤❤

[@SkyePorcelain]

When you said you’ve never been to ikea before and then mentioned that it’s huge, I’m like “they’re gonna get lost” the next clip was you saying you’re lost lol. 😅 I love just walking through ikea for fun and seeing the room setups.

[@guidedbysunshine333]

IKEA is my nightmare. So many people stuck inside and no way out except following all the damn arrows 😂

[@elana81RDH]

Has she said where the new house is yet?

[@SkyePorcelain]

@@elana81RDH I don’t believe so.

[@theresacarmody702]

Hi Mindy and Larry .I’m so looking forward to seeing your new home .It’s so exciting picking out all the new furniture.Sending lots of love ☘️☘️☘️💚💚💚🇮🇪

[@andreasummers1955]

I got my dining room set at Ashley furniture and love it! I got my bed sets are Reymore and flanigan. Can’t wait to see your new home!!!🎉

[@meganellis9386]

The upside down close up of Larry 😂❤❤❤

[@yadirao7642]

Mindy, I will suggest to move to your new house and live it for a little bit before you buy new furniture. Sometimes we decide we like some type of furniture until you move and decide that the vibe is not what we really wanted.

[@Kari-G]

100 percent agree with this. 💯 💯!! We moved last yr and I was relieved we lived in the space before committing to furniture. Your mind gets SUPER flippant after making such a big emotional change. Literally a different person making different decisions.

[@missy0919]

I am so excited to come along on the house journey and all the new adventures. It also makes me happy seeing Larry do baseball/softball. I feel like once you are out of University it is hard to meet new people and do things as an adult, so seeing Larry do this makes me happy.

[@ashdanielle7260]

I LOVE Ikea. It’s definitely somewhere you need a lot of time to get through. It’s easiest if you follow the arrows on the floor which keeps you from getting lost and will take you from the front to the checkout at the exit. Food is pretty good. Love their grocery section also.

[@gasp4nv659]

You have to take lid off and align lid just right for all four sides to close. I have those containers from ikea also and it takes me a couple times….loved this vlog! Haahaa..Larry started out with a wiffff! So glad Larry you are getting out and playing on a team! My 1st trip to ikea was very overwhelming…we had to figure out where to go..but ours has arrows in the isles…We did not eat at cafe..but we have heard from several people and KZbin people that the cafe has awesome food. You are going to love the Queen charlotte series..we watched. I also recommend Queen gambit….very..very good..we are watching now.

[@dancediva310]

I know sometimes you have to do the opposite sides together instead of going around the container and snapping

[@jessicahoward8281]

The ikea 365 glass containers and lids are my favorite! I’ve had mine for 3 years and except for a couple of that’s where one snap has broken they have held up perfectly

[@emilypilot5979]

I was just in IKEA in Orlando yesterday! Love that store! Congrats on the new home!

[@juliayvr2015]

9:25 this set is stunningggggggggggggg

[@Debra072]

Larry made me laugh. I waved at him when he looked in the phone lol

[@katiesettingsgaard2484]

I would suggest buying the Pyrex brand of the glass snap top storage containers. I love mine and the lids are so easy to use. Love the video!

[@rachelbush8652]

Have you guys already found your new house? When will you talk about it?

[@BusyButerfly02]

Atleast they sell lunch!!! lol! Try the swedish meetballs!

[@98kaci]

Larry looks like Jim Varney (Ernest goes to Camp) when he looks upside down into the camera!😂

[@clev409]

I’m so happy for you!! Btw your makeup looks amazing ❤

[@MyDreamIsAStory]

Just get Pyrex. They are glass and don’t have the locking lids. I prefer them so much more. But be mindful we only hand wash the lids. I learned that the dishwasher does something funky to the lids. No matter the brand.

[@mindyhein9186]

We have glass Pyrex containers we got as a wedding gift 35 years ago and just threw away a couple of the lids last year. Did not 100% hand wash over the years but the quality may have been better back then.

[@mikahbowden8320]

Did I miss the announcement about the new house??? Did they buy a house????

[@laurahaban9350]

Hey mindy! Will we be getting a house tour?

[@sarahd621]

Pyrex has containers that look like that, but the gaskets don’t come off. They are great. I think those were modeled after the Pyrex ones.

[@kelseylay]

We have the Ello glass storage containers and they’re our favorite!!! We’ve had them for about 2.5 years and we’ve not had any issue with the lids not snapping on!

[@sandrarenner4402]

I love IKEA! Affordable and durable. I own some IKEA furniture I have had for 16 years now. Still in style and in very good condition

[@givipixie]

Oh my gosh, so excited to see that new house! What will you have as a fireplace over there if you got rid of the entertainment center??

[@maudvankeulen7280]

Cant believe you are moving so soon!! Excited❤

[@jennifergragg1850]

Upside down Larry made me smile!! 💜💜😂😂

[@kirstenjacobs3607]

Love Ikea its very popular in the UK as is Scandi style decor. Food is awesome especially the meatballs and we go before xmas for the ginger bsicuits. Only issue with Ikea you go for a look and end up with a trolley of things yoU didnt know you needed until you saw them lol

[@alysonenos3373]

Have you tried closing the small sides first then the big sides for the Tupperware?

[@kirapetersen987]

We have some of the cube shelves from ikea in our sons closet and they’re so nice! You can anchor them to the wall, and they have the basket inserts for storage. I would recommend them!

[@kelciwallace8669]

The master bed set with the tall headboard that you said “planning the Christmas garland placement” that’s the exact set I have!🤣❤️

[@MindyMinx]

So fun!!!! Do you live your set!?

[@amyburwell5005]

I just always love when you do your mugs for the holidays so...I have one for Christmas an now the rest of the holidays 😂❤ much love

[@MT-mv2ge]

Do you ever go to Larry’s games? Congratulations on your new home!

[@musicalsteph17]

Ika has the arrows if you follow them it’s easy lol

[@anac7096]

It's a bitter sweet feeling seeing you moving. I guess I'm gonna miss seeing you in your house, but at the same time I'm also excited to see how your new home is gonna look like and follow your vlogs there. 😊 Loved that bedroom set too! 😍 We also have Ikea here in Portugal and I really like going there and pick up ideas, so when you said it was huge I immediately thought to myself "oh, you think? You're gonna get lost in there!" and you did 😂 About their food, do try it because it's really good! 😋 I'm currently watching a Netflix show called "Santa Clarita Diet" with Drew Barrymore and Timothy Olyphant. It's fun and nice to relax, although it gets a little bloody and graphic sometimes. 😁

[@michellebeebelewisfrith1544]

SO EXCITED FOR YOU GUYS🎉

[@lilapeterson]

Good morning guys! My hubby & I LOVE Ikea! We live in the beautiful mountain area of North Carolina. And our Ikea is just a little over about hour from us in Charlotte, NC. It is HUGE also! We've never tried the food before, but it looks delicious. And yes we have bought things there too. We got a really good deal on a big bamboo cutting board that cost like over half the price of every where else we looked. As well as buying other things. And my business is to create & sell things so I get a ton of ideas there too to create. Ya'll have a blessed & wonderful day with the little cutie batootie. Love ya guys! AND WE BINGED WATCHED QUEEN CHARLOTTE & LOVED IT!!!!!! But I'm a HUGE period type of movie fan too. We LOVED Bridgerton too. If you haven't watched that yet ya'll need too. Queen Charlotte spins off of that one. It tells more about Queen Charlotte's life in the movie Queen Charlotte.

[@mamamil]

I LOVE IKEA for that kind of stuff just never buying like couches or anything from them again. But bedroom and kids furniture and toys etc etc is amazing

[@chelss61010]

You should go to City Furniture! We just bought our new couch and bedroom set from there! They have a huge one in Central Florida!

[@miriamjust6988]

Yes I did watch Queen Charlotte and loved it!!!

[@rozbutler5828]

IKEA is an outing event in the U.K You go there for food, meatballs seem to be the favourite and then you get your stuff and leave 😁😁 Everyone loves an IKEA 😊

[@rachelfrank346]

The food is so yummy. We love ikea and have eaten there many times. the Swedish meatballs are so good.

[@neesas8602]

How have y’all never been to ikea?!!! And it’s only 15 mins away! It’s the best!

[@keioshabrice6984]

Everything looks beautiful queen Charlotte was good you will enjoy it Mindy and Larry it's only 6 eps

[@kacis4297]

I love IKEA and also the food over there, their swedish meat balls with chips and sauce 👍🏻 You definitely try! And the price is too good (in Czech republic thou) I just finished Queen Charlotte thus evening- loved it! 😍 Thanks for your vlog - so good as always! 🌼

[@reffitt8705]

Try closing two of the same side at the same time. Like two sides and then the two ends. ❤

[@loriwilson2054]

So you guys have brought a new home?? Can’t wait for the tour? Does it have a pool? Congrats!

[@sarahlehman8913]

I think you might have to clip the sides of the Tupperware and then the ends or the ends and then the sides

[@shannonparten2584]

The food is SO GOOD. They have delicious Swedish Meatballs and Salmon! & they have great chocolate cake 🤤 It’s not walk around kind of food though.

[@agnesskibicka]

@Shanon Parten, agree 💯. Hello from Poland and my channel and homestead!

[@dwoz4658]

I got the vibe that IKEA is kind of a real life version of a kitchen inspiration Pinterest board. I’ve never been, but based on you and others, that’s what I got 😂

[@tracydownie169]

I love ikea, I have a few pieces from thee & love them. Definitely have eaten there…I would go and have breakfast.

I love seeing people visit IKEA for the first time

[@Elyse1997]

We love ikea. We always love to say, follow the magic arrows,:). The food is really good too.

[@sherrimartin1057]

So you DO have a home already to go to ?!! I didnt catch that from the last video. So how hard was it to find a home that you wanted ? Is it in the same area or are you moving further away ? So happy for you, enjoy !

[@candyscott489]

That was my concern since their house sold in one day

[@nwilson7342]

I use the Starfrit Locknlock glass containers. I'm in Canada but sure you could probably find them there.

[@dawnribbeck4526]

Have y’all found a new home yet? Also, since you said you won’t have a pool vlog, does that mean your new home will not have a pool?

Where is Larry's ring 🤔 he better get that back on before someone else try's to snatch him. (Jokin) I know he ain't going anywhere. Maybe a silicone band for softball???

[@LeeBakers-y1c]

You can never wash those lids in the dishwasher (it warps them) or microwave the lids, you must close the long sides first

[@heatherweed9784]

Yes. Meatballs are so good. And the Chocolate cake is so good.

[@paulaprettypaula4213]

Ashley’s furniture love ❤️ ikeanot so much bad experience with kids dressers

Ikea is the best!!! Did you go to the basement floor? The basement isnt furniture its plants, candles, glassware, decor, pillows, rugs, etc!!! Its really cheap for that kinda stuff. I also get all my faux plants there which make the room very lively!
