Cullen and Katie: Blame the Mailman Part 7

[Playsinrain]

Katie's makeup looked nice today, i love that lip color on her..
I'm laughing at Cullen freaking out over the AG stuff.. Oh just wait Cullen, i'm surprised they don't already have the catalogs in the mail yet. I swear to god the hospital sells baby girl info to AG the second they know its a girl. It will over take your life, its so overpriced (but really good quality and all the accessories are pretty cool) and there is so. much. of. it. (Personal, but im kinda sad, this is the first year in about 6 years that my daughter hasn't asked for the doll of the year for Christmas.. shes growing up you guys and i'm not ok with it!! She had to get her 'boyfriend' a present this year ) Oh and i had Kirsten, still have her and all the clothes i had too. vintage baby!!! lol
The prank call was SO FREAKING FUNNY... Nikki was not feeling Bruno, she gave him the wrong number.. bahahahahahahaha... Totally something my husband would have done

That prank was very funny. Cullen is the master of pranks and I enjoy watching them. My favorite is the Scary Snake Beach Prank. The ocean also is beautiful in this vlog too!

I love the beach vlogs... I'm ready for them to go back.. lol Now i have to go watch that one again.

I am a sucker for anything interior design or new home related, so I enjoyed watching Bonnie's renovations and I thought she did a good job of bringing viewers along for the process and sharing information without over doing it. If Katie and Cullen did the same, I would probably watch more regularly to see the process. But they're not really the type of people to decorate or do home improvement projects. They've done very little to the house since they bought it. They're supposedly giving the kitchen a facelift to sell it and that's still unfinished. I just don't think they want to do projects. I'm guessing that they're looking for something move-in ready, and I doubt they care about furnishings. That's fine, but that is one more audience they're not tapped into, design and home improvement are huge markets right now.

(Off topic, but I wanted to chime in that Ellie and Jared's home feels very sterile and staged to me, probably because they moved from a much smaller space into a huge space and didn't really collect pieces they loved over the years. The haphazard way Ellie picked out the dinning table struck me as someone who didn't really think about it or care. We bought our first nice dining set recently and it was something I put a lot of research and thought into.)

I suspect they will put more time and effort into their new home, and I expect they will make an effort to keep the rooms they film in much of the time, less cluttered. They might want to "hide" a room and make it a black hole of sorts. Just dump off the shopping, mail, project supplies, etc and keep their surfaces clear in the kitchen. I'm not bothered by clutter, I actually rarely see it in their home. What does distract me is when a cupboard door is left open. It is so easy to just shut it.

They actually have done quite a bit to their home since MG was born. They had the patio rebuilt, they painted and furnished the entry hall, the living and dining rooms, bought new furniture for the family room, and started on the kitchen. I appreciate that the backsplash cost was high and had to be put in hold. I know Katie spends a lot if money on baby clothes, but she's always been on top of the budget. Quite often when they lived in Florida, she would insist Cullen "freeze" spending. Unlike B&M and E&J, they are not, as one poster put it, living in a bubble. Vlogging or not, they seem to have set goals for themselves. So maybe their new house won't be a "Dream House Come True" because they hit paydirt while vlogging. They never lived in a garage before either. They are excellent parents and have a full life. They are vlogging their life, not living to vlog. When they were at the mall with GrandBerry a few vlogs ago, I could feel the joy as they whipped around the mall with the kids. They were enjoying themselves and it took me back to a time when life was easier and a lot more fun. At home, after the kids are put to bed, Cullen and Katie keep each other entertained. They riff off each other and do silly things, but the laughter and smiles are genuine. B&M, E&J, live contrived lives. If that is the trade-off for more subs and money, I think C&K are winning.
