WE ARE MOVING! | Mimi Ikonn Vlog

[@simplylancaster7397]

It was such a tender moment to see your hand outstretched saying goodbye to the home you brought your daughter into and then see you pan over and be able to see her toddling down the hall. I’m a mom, so I know I’m emotional now by nature, so that made me teary eyed! Congratulations on the move (and the beautiful family!)

[@moeandmir]

Its totally acceptable for you to feel connected to that home, it isn't superficial to care. And you aren't letting that sadness or connection to keep you from what you want to do. You don't have to police your emotions! Its healthy to admit to human feelings.

[@yeslife5205]

Marenna Boutilier exactly.

[@danapride]

Mimi, I understand. I shed a few tears today after my last parent-teacher conference for my daughter who will graduate this spring. All of these milestones are special. Enjoy this new chapter!~Dana

[@StarrySoakedSkiess]

I wonder if Alexa will have a british accent. Her parents don't have one, but she's growing up in london..it'll be interesting to see

[@mysticriver6353]

StarrySoakedSky of course, she will have, in London is cockney accent 😊

[@matildagilles8710]

She will for sure once she starts school.

[@u.e.ausb.3904]

Beata that would be the funniest thing...it will most likely be a very refined SW accent I bet.

[@LindseyDara]

She will if she grows up there and goes to school.

[@emily_devos]

Mmmm... I don't know if she will

[@josefineoijer]

When you can't find anything to watch no Netflix on a friday night and Mimi uploads a 17 minute long vlog 😍😘❤️️

[@fdemonier]

Loved it! Can’t wait for the new house tour. :)

[@LinetteArroyo]

Haha I was thinking the same thing ☺️

[@stylestory1000]

It reminded of how difficult to let go of things you are attached to. But its the the people who make your world. Wish you keep enjoying the new place the same way.

[@maalvaaa]

När man hittar en svensk i kommentarsfältet :) Kollade in din kanal, väldigt fin! Kram

[@Shuacat]

Congratulations! Wish you a lot of wonderful moments in new flat. And completely understand your tears and feelings, I've moved 2 months ago from our first flat with my husband. I miss that flat a lot.

[@soonsims]

I LOVE this kind of spontaneous, non-staged, real vlog. PLEASE do more of these - no need for too much impressive editing or drone shots, or exotic locations. Just 4 walls and 2(3) people going through life.

[@kimberley2381]

The tears tell you that you made some amazing, happy memories in your old home and that's a good thing!

[@TheSharmaNeeta]

I have had the same moving experience twice in Notting Hill. This past Dec, I was 34 weeks pregnant and we moved a 10 minute walk away... the movers did not help us unpack either. They eventually told us they don’t get paid much which is terrible (the moving company takes a huge cut leaving little for the movers). It definitely wasn’t ideal but I later had a wonderful lady come in to help me purge and organise and lift heavier items! You guys were definitely super efficient in getting it all done. Kudos! And now we know to not pay the premium for the unpacking service 🤦🏽‍♀️

[@Krohini12]

What an experience you just had with the moving! Can't wait to see the finishing touches you guys make in your new home!

[@aceace856]

I love this video- i literally moved two weeks ago! Couldn’t agree more about the purge! I’ve been doing it as i unpacked- one final box left and i’ll be done! So relieved!

[@MamaleoneChmlb]

Moving can be so exhausting. So great you made it.🤩 Love you both or all three of you so much.

[@MarjoleinEvelienKlok]

It makes me so happy to see that after a long and tiresome day of moving to a new place, you two still manage to be positive, look happy, smile and laugh and not hold any grudges. I love that! I myself am trying to get better at this attitude and sometimes I'm failing at it but you always keep me going. Have a wonderful day. xx

[@natalyad9938]

Good luck in a new place!!!

[@AJane77]

Congratulations Mimi on this new chapter! We are moving too this week so I know how emotional it can be! Cheers to many more amazing memories in your new home 😘

[@goodforyoudp]

I really need this movie. Mimi thank you. Last week we moved to different place in Poland and it was very emotional for me, beacuse it was beautiful place and I was very happy there. I cried all day when we moved.

[@sabinatalibzade929]

I never understand why your videos get so much hate about every little decision you make.. Renting instead of buying is a very sound choice. Those nice apartments cost so much that the monthly mortgage payments are going to be massive, probably more than if you just rent the place! Moreover, not everyone likes to spend their entire lives in the same house! My husband and I have been together for over 7 years and we moved twice across continents, and in total 7 times between different homes. We are not planning on buying anytime soon because we like moving and experiencing new apartments/houses and getting to know new areas in London. Besides, as years pass your needs change so it doesn't make sense to lock yourself in one place. Flexibility = less stress, for us at least. I swear some people just want others to buy homes to get them into debt lol. Paying 3.5% deposit on a place and then some monthly payments for 25-35 years barely qualifies as "buying"...

[@claudiadgusmao]

Sabina Talibzade I agree with you for the most part, but the benefit of buying is that after those 20/25/30 years your house is paid off and you don't have to worry about rent or payments anymore. I guess if you know you want to stay somewhere it is worth it.

[@sabinatalibzade929]

Cláudia Gusmão sure, but that’s only for those who know they will want to stay in the same place for all those decades. Plus, you may not be able to buy a place you really want straight away, so lots of people end up buying a place for a few years and then reselling to upgrade.. too much fuss imo and benefits are not even that much greater than from just renting a place except for you’re not at risk if the market crashes. A lot of people don’t want that and so getting lynched about a personal choice that’s just so so easy to understand is really unfair!

[@claudiadgusmao]

Sabina Talibzade yes, sure! As I said, I agree with your comment and I'm not criticising Mimi at all, I was just mentioning when and why it would be worth it to buy :)

[@sabinatalibzade929]

Cláudia Gusmão yeah haha I was just expanding on my point, I totally agree with what you’re saying too! 😊

[@BlackThorndRose]

Agreed 100%! First of all, it’s her choice (and Alex’s) how they choose to live. They’re happy, successful, have an amazing family, and they live a beautiful life. Why is it even someone else’s business if they choose to rent or buy? It’s not. I’m a loan officer in the states, I do mortgages for a living, but I don’t tell people they need to buy. Also, who knows exactly what’s going in another country with the housing, the economy, etc. People love to rain on other people’s parades...I’m sorry but that’s just so ridiculous.

[@JenniferSW3]

Really enjoyed watching this blog. I am someone who moves a lot as I love the experience of new places, new homes and new adventures. So a mortgage would be wasted on me too right now. I hope you complained about the movers. I find I have to almost be bossy to get them to do a half decent job. The one time I left movers to it, they dumped all the boxes in the wrong rooms and left early. Anyway I hope you are all happy in your new apartment!

[@amuletgirl]

I don’t normally comment, but I find it beautiful to see the amount of care in Alexa when she wants to feed the birds. Normally when I am out, children run afer animals to try and scare them and laugh whilst doing it. You guys are teaching her the right thing. Muchlove x

[@lucybowman-ramirez]

What a sweet suprise. I haven't followed or seen any videos of you in a long time so when this vlog was on my suggestion list I couldn't wait to watch it. I'm so happy to know you are a wife and a mom. So sweet! You made me smile for sure. Your little one is adorable and your husband looks like he would be very kind and loving. So happy for you! I will be subscribing for sure. Sorry for your bad experience with the movers 😦 but glad you are home! Hugs and rest and I'm sure in no time your place will be all nice and organized. 😊

[@Wynter84]

The floors at the new place is nicer. Love the new place!

[@EEN63]

I would definitely call and talk to the owner to pay a lower rate and let them know their "worker" was not representing their company in their best interest. I hope you paid with a credit card and you can refuse payment and renegotiate a slow-as-mud-pack-and-move-rate without premium unpacking costs. I would be absolutely livid. I get very upset when people aren't honorable and follow through with what was negotiated ahead of time. But I guess there are a lot of dishonorable people in the world that love to cheat and take advantage of others. Hopefully it was just a bad employee and not the normal company policy to purposefully do a bait and switch to rip people off. I'm so sorry they made your moving experience more stressful and exhausting than it should have been.

[@adastraperaspera3487]

EEN63 you’re the type of clients movers don’t want

[@EEN63]

+Zara Hazan I have owned my own company since the mid 1990s, and you better believe I'd want to know if some yahoo, slacker employee was tarnishing my good reputation. Legitimate, reputable business people don't try to rip off their customers and take great pride in their products/services. When you own your own business your reputation is EVERYTHING! This situation needs to be brought to the owner's attention. Just as if Mimi and Alex had some yahoo, slacker causing mayhem with their customers, you better believe they'd want to know, so they could correct the problem before it harmed their reputation and ultimately their bottom line. I'm assuming by your comment you're not a business owner or perhaps business ethics and personal integrity might not be very high on your list of qualities you deem important. Best of luck to you.

[@amberleaf7]

That rare well-written comment on youtube. Nice to see.

[@adastraperaspera3487]

EEN63 “cheating and taking advantage of others” includes companies and hard-working businesses like yours and like Mimi’s. No businesses want charge-backs on their merchant accounts just because one person was misrepresenting the company. If you have a problem with your bill don’t call your credit card like a coward, call the company to voice your concern. You can even call while you are getting the service. Do your due-diligence is what I’m saying. No company is perfect, leave room for human errors. That’s ethics too.

[@EEN63]

Zara Hazan did you fail to read the first sentence? Here's a little refresher for the reading and/or comprehension impaired: "I would definitely call and talk to the owner to pay a lower rate and let them know their "worker" was not representing their company in their best interest." What is it about call the owner to try and rectify this unfortunate and unpleasant situation do you not understand? As an additional option, I was hoping they paid with a credit card IN CASE the chat with the owner was not satisfactory. They would still have some recourse from being ripped off. If you recall, the negotiation was for X, Y and Z. They only received X and Y (and here's the issue) but PAID PREMIUM PRICES IN FULL for X, Y AND Z. The moving company needs to rectify what they charged Alex and Mimi for Z... otherwise we call this cheating, stealing, misrepresentation, bad business ethics, being ripped off, being taken advantaged of, etc., etc., etc. What I find most disconcerting is how in the world you jumped to such a host of conclusions that are just ridiculous. Such as, companies like mine and Mimi's are "cheating and taking advantage of others". That's quite a stretch based on what exactly? Or that I'm a coward by suggesting they do what they can to make things fair and right? So the fact that I believe in standing up for what's right, as well as fair and honest business practices makes me a coward? I seriously don't get you. And how did you come to the inane conclusion that I'm the type of client movers don't want? That's quite an uninformed and illogical leap based on my comment. You jump to a lot of very weird and incorrect assumptions, my dear. Having due diligence is NOT what you're saying... a stream of defamatory comments is what you've actually said! Perhaps you're just having a really, REALLY bad day? Once again, best of luck to you.

[@MASep-bs5um]

Alex has such a positive outlook on moving! What a great life philosophy, Bravo Alex!

[@rebeccamast7905]

It's so interesting that you talk about the less than ideal service you got. My aunt and uncle moved to the UK and got renovations done on their home: they also experienced very slow, very half-assed service. There shouldn't have to be any convincing the people you're paying to do the job they were initially paid for (especially when you pay such a high price for premium service). Sorry this happened to you. I hope the rest of settling in the new home went okay. Always enjoy watching your videos :)

[@Sybeco]

Can’t wait for the new house tour 😊

[@lilierogers1134]

it is incredible to feel the need to talk about oneself all the time, a real pathology

[@joannaalcaraz5006]

Mimi I’m currently going through the same thing right now ! We have been renting this house that we call home for years now and it’s sold ! And in a way I got a little emotional too .. however I’m excited and ready for the next chapter! This video just made me smile !! Because home is truly where our loved ones are ! Thank you .. many blessings to you and your beautiful family 💖

[@kirsty4848]

aww i understand your emotions of leaving your first home with you baby !!! I was the same . Wish you all the happiness in your new place xx

[@stephanietaylor5898]

Thank you so much for this Mimi. I really took to heart what you said about practicing non-attachment. You are SO right. My family is potentially facing a very big move right now (across seas!) and your message came at the perfect time. I have felt very depressed towards the idea of moving my family so far. But you and Alex are right, we can’t be so attached to a physical place that we remain stagnant. We need to be more fluid and it would be a good message for my children to learn as well. Its tough, but we can do it!

[@ciramed8834]

Mimi thank for sharing, congratulations on your new flat, unfortunately things happen but I’m happy u guys found a place near your old flat. I’m glad u guys stay positive and make the best of new situations. I’m sure it will work out for the best because u guys are a good family!

[@vusalagulieva]

Happy moving! Hope you make amazing memories in your new home! :)

[@Mar-iy8il]

Congratulations on your new home. It will be beautiful and filled with love as all your homes are. Can you please tell me the colour and brand of paint you use. Your white is so fresh and vibrant. Sending love from Toronto! Mar

[@yasmin3530]

Was great to have an insight into you moving. Always learn so much from you both! (Also just wondering, why do you prefer hardwood flooring over carpet? I find carpet so comfortable!). Thanks for another great vlog x

[@KSENIAISHIZUKARussianchannel]

We also move a lot in Japan!! And the good thing is u can store all your clothes and small things in plastic boxes. So you can move it as they are. You don’t need to take everything out, and then to put in. And it saves you a huge amount of time. And there is no clothes on the floor, so no stress! And the plastic boxes are comfortable to use every day and clean. We usually store them in a closet, so they never show up.

[@ashleylebron2962]

Great to see that you are starting a new chapter in your life! Moving for me it's almost therapeutic although veeery exhausting! But for me the best part it's deciding what you get to keep and what you don't need anymore. Hope you make beautiful memories in your new home with your wonderful family. Love you 💗💗💗

[@lenkamatejik]

Guys, best video of you being so natural, love you! Mimi you have changed 🤩 so cool, and looking so gorgeous without styling.😍 Thanks for sharing your moving! Best luck with everything! ❤️❤️❤️

[@irisdanagher]

This vlog has given me so much positive energy around moving. I was just told I have to move flats and I am so unprepared and stressed but this vlog is full of encouragement I can't help feel a bit motivated.

[@narelleravesi4993]

Mimi you are so right! You don’t need to get attached to superficial things in life...we moved a lot in uk,and I hate it cuz our memories are all over the places....but it’s interesting in the same time!all the best. In the new 🏠.We gone move out too on the weekend! Hugs 🤗

[@egiver17]

Loved this vlog Mimi! You guys are so relatable while also maintaining positivity. ❤

[@shirale68]

[@elifgulfemurhan6531]

Mimi please help me, where did you buy that marble table in living room and how do you move from house to house, isnt that heavy? Also you have a toddler so isnt it dangerous for her? She may knock her head etc. Another question is that your big mirror in the bedroom, do you use to prevent from falling off? A kind of security to keep it in its place? I am desining my home and I love your style please please answer ❤ loves from Turkey ❤

[@Nagmbeirut]

lovely to see you all three of you

[@crystalann4700]

So I had stopped watching most youtubers for a while. It just seemed like a lot of them got really scripted. I'm so glad I turned this video on. Mimi you seem so natural and relaxed and real! Is so refreshing to see! I love watching you in the role of mom.

[@Mialovezenia]

Alexa is so sweet reminds me of my little one ❤ hope you enjoy your new home and create many more memories x

[@CJ8382]

Congrats Mimi & Alex with your beautiful new home! I go nuts when I see how much stuff is there to be unpacked when I move but it's nice knowing that in the end you have a new start with most of the time less stuff in the new house;)

[@vwlru]

thx you guys for sharing your story,despite your moving-in stress.you stay allways positiv and that‘s so inspiring.thank you!!!

[@maribel88992]

I really understand you Mimi!!!! The pressure you are exposed whenever you are moving is terrible!!!! Clothing, furnitures and boxes everywhere make you feel dead on your feet!!!! Futhermore if the people whose are supposed to help you, don’t contribute so much😡 Anyway everything will be perfect and I’m sure you will emjoy a lot your new flat😊💗

[@DayWithMom]

Your daughter is adorable! I love that cute pink coat she was wearing!

[@xholly]

You and your family are so inspiring 💜💕

[@anykterio2244]

Oh Mimi I understand how you feel! I work with the rcmp in Canada and I transferred everywhere, but the last move was the house my first girl was born, and I was so emotional leaving!!! When I closed the door of her bedroom for the last time, my heart cracked a bit!!! 😪

[@pinkcherryblossom15]

Mimi you look great, really tanned! Glad the move is over for you guys.

Hi Mimi! i admire you, your work and your family ! You are all fabulous ! I would need an advice... what kind of baby monitor are you using for your baby! Thank you ! hugs and kisses!

[@thejellybeans92]

I like watching your videos. I like how you show what you are going through. You know you guys moving and how it’s difficult. But it’s real life and it shows that we are all going through things and trying to move on and make things better I know I feel like I can relate to just the struggle not of moving but the feeling of being stressed out with something your going through but telling yourself just have to keep working through it and things will get better. Just like Alex said at the end take it piece by piece. You guys are great and can’t wait to see when your guys new home is done(:

[@Hmfancy]

Mimi your emotions are SO BEAUTIFUL! 😘 Love you

[@PaolaVaugier]

Good luck friends in your new home.

[@tdpg12]

Loved this Vlog I'm not sure why but it seemed a little nostalgic! And I know you guys love white walls! But I wish I knew what color is currently in your bedroom! It was very pretty! : )

[@humaahmad327]

I can relate to it especially the sentiments of leaving home. .and u did gr8 job cleaning mess in room..waiting 4 ur new house tour good luck

[@siriv2610]

Mimi, I love this place more than your previous one. Your previous home was beautiful too. I understand that we emotionally get connected to homes for some reason. But I am sure that you guys will make many more memories here with Alexa. Lots of love from New Jersey. 🤗😘

[@Itsallisoncarp]

Hi Mimi!! Moving can be pretty hectic, but love the way you guys manage it. Did you guys rent or buy the flat you moved into??

[@apporvaarya]

Your new house is so pretty...n ahh alecca is so big now.. :) God bless u all

[@vanessacocuzzo383]

What a sweet vlog!! Love your perspectives on moving! This video inspired me to do a spring cleaning tonight haha :)

[@JellaAnMD]

When Mimi called 'Alexa! You want to come say hello?' to the camera, my Amazon Echo responded: 'Sorry, I'm not sure.' 😂

[@sabinatalibzade929]

Also for any future moves or anyone who’s moving soon I really recommend renting crates rather than buying cardboard boxes! You rent them by the week (usually it costs around a £1 per crate per week) and they come in different sizes to fit whatever stuff you have and after the week is done (or earlier if you want to) the company just comes and takes them away for free! It’s way cheaper and you don’t have to worry about what to do with your cardboard boxes 😊 They’re also really easy to open and close and they have lids that clip into place and plus they stack nicely!

[@anjabucic125]

Oh my gosh Mimi! Where is your coat from? It‘s absolutely adorable! 😍 I‘m looking for something similar

[@mysonruns]

I can't believe how grown up Alexa is already! Time flies. Good luck with the move!

[@karolinapiekarz3411]

I think this was the pretties video you ever posted here... So emotional ❤ i am sure you all are gonna find this new house the one of your dreams ❤

[@beverleyroberts1025]

Lots of love and luck in your new home. I think it's good to have sentimental feelings about a place, it creates lovely memories. But as one door closes and even better one opens! Love your new apartment, it looks beautiful.x 😄

Hi I will be moving in May and i need to paint also. What shade and texture of white do you recommend?

[@matea99]

I know exactly how you're feeling.. I had to move out of my old place in September, and I'm still not over it :( (I lived in a student residence and since I'm not a student anymore, I can't live there).. I created so many beautiful memories there and it was such a perfect place and when you live in London, it's so difficult to find any decent accommodation..

New memories to be made in your new place! 💕
