Definitely. Especially since they put the new counters in. That black granite doesn't go with the green at all.

And I am not crazy about the teal family room and red office/dining room. I would think a realtor will tell them to paint.

No matter how many times we go she cries and whines the WHOLE time and she's just like Ada, we have to muzzle her to get her nails trimmed. She acts like and sounds like you are cutting her whole foot off. Drama queen dogs!!
I have the same issue with 16 yr old cat; when we walk in the vet's door all the techs scatter so they don't have to deal with her. She goes mental and has an anti-anxiety med I give her on vet days, but it doesn't matter, she fights through the sedation but at home she's a sweet, loving lap-cat.

I also liked that C&K admitted Ada's nails were an issue and thanked the folks that called them out on it. Probably shouldn't have waited as long as they did, but I dread taking my little one in too knowing how traumatic it is for her and vet staff.

MG's bite looked painful; anyone had something similar?

My mom is a realtor and she always suggests her sellers paint over bright colors and put away 75% of what is out on a daily basis. I don't have a ton of stuff but she tells me it would still take 2-3 weeks to get my house ready to sell; she'd have a hissy fit in C&K's house.

The spider bite is the top one and the ant bite is the boddom one. It's hard to decipher what type of bite is there. They both look the same. I think I'd still take her to the Dr just to check on it.

Yes, Katie thanked folk for pointing out the length of her dog's nails and that was the mature way to handle it in the vlog. However, she also went on to say they know that walking Ada regularly on the sidewalk (they used to show them doing this in the vlog's) also helps to file them down in a more natural manner.

She said that since Brook's came along and what with Xmas being so busy they haven't been taking her for those regular walks. I'm sorry, but two stay at home parents and neither of them can take their dog out for regular walks for the past six months? Especially knowing the issue with her nails and her fear of the vets at getting them trimmed.

In their defence, they said over Christmas they hadn't been out walking as much and (at least from what I've found) even when all members of the family are home it's still a pretty busy time and I find that even in my household basic things that need to be done can get pushed back till after the Christmas period. One thing I don't get about after Brooks' birth though is why Cullen couldn't have taken Ada and Emma for a walk when Katie stayed home with Brooks and when Gained was at Granddollys.

Double post; but one thing you have to remember about the big vloggers is that none of them really started doing it daily, they were all pretty much vlogging their pregnancies an paths to babies, so obviously to go onto daily vlogging they saw the demand was there and at the time probably did it to please small intimate fanbases. In saying that, with vloggers such as daily bumps, E& J and C&K (them not as much though) I do believe that it has gone to their head a little about how much people want to see, but then again their fanbases will often watch whatever has them in it

(Note I didn't say all vloggers lol, this is personal bias as there is 1 or 2 couples I watch who I don't really believe this applies to)

They could even walk her during nap time or after the kids' go to bed.

They said that grand doc looked at it and said it was fine and most likely an ant bite. Isn't he a doctor?

Exactly. From the footage of dog walks that we have seen neither of the two dogs (and I'm assuming they are taking both at once) seem like much trouble. Heck, even if Ada started pulling or misbehaving,Cullen is a large enough man to be able to keep her in control.

On the bottom of the vlog's description today there is a disclaimer about it being a sponsored video. Have we seen this before?

Today's vlog cracks me up. I'm from Georgia and we went through the same storm. We are all stuck inside because there is so much ice on the roads. Everyone freaks out and empties the grocery store of milk and bread when there is any threat of snow or ice.

When he held up that half empty jug of milk, I was thinking I hope that's not all they have! It's not like this storm was a surprise. There have been memes about it fit the last 4 days.

Nothing like a good snow storm and being stuck at home with all your staples brought ahead of time. Hope everyone is safe.

With two parents at home, I think they could fit in the walks. I said before I think it is an organization issue as well as staying up too late. At first their vlogs went up at all times of the day, but Cullen committed a time they were uploaded and available to watch and has done well with this. So, they might have to do this with other parts of their day and get a stricter schedule. And with the holidays over, it should be easier, yet I bet most of us can admit when we are busier, we are more organized since we have little time to waste.

While I appreciate the work in the vlogs with the inserts clips, I would be ok if he took the time needed to do this editing and instead took the dogs for a walk:)

I think they are the most receptive vloggers to their viewers suggestions. A sign of maturity and they are secure enough to admit error. I don't see this with the vloggers in Utah.

I gotta say it, and if I am nitpicking, I am sorry. But they're both home, and it's snowing outside, and instead of some nice stew or soup, or other nice warm comfort food, they made peanut butter and jelly sandwiches for dinner?
And did y'all catch the comment about the dog slipping on the steps? "She slipped because she just had her nails trimmed", and the way it sounded was "she slipped because you all badgered us into getting her nails trimmed".
