The Lindquists

[Notablogger]

I agree with what everyone is saying. And to prove that she doesn’t practice what she preaches, why is she even buying stuff for this baby?

If I’m blessed to have a third baby, I’m not plannimg on buying anything really (aside from bottles pacis that kinda stuff you cant reuse) . I sure as hell won’t make a registry and then claim I’m a minimalist.

I'm actually planning to get a Tripp Trapp but the price is only around $200. I know there are a lot of add-ons you can buy as well, but I don't see how they're $500?

Also, why does Elle need five of them?

[TeachIT]

I genuinely don’t understand why some people ADORE her to the point of attacking people in the comments? She doesn’t give back to charity, her giveaways are few and far between (and the one she actually pays for herself - not sponsored - are pathetic. I won chapstick from her years ago and never even bothered to claim). I don’t get it? What does the Elle-army even get out of it? Halfwit advice on how to clean a clean house, justify outrageous purchases, and?? I started following her because she used to be relatable and funny but now she’s just a show off and annoying. I’m not sure why she’s loved to the point of cult status unless these people just don’t see through the facade.

Because she plans on making us go through this infertility/pregnancy charade 5 more times

Just saw her IG monologue on low income families. What the actual fuck?

Plus, when is the last time Elle purchased anything used other than that Bugaboo donkey stroller or LV bag? She loves to sell her free swag to the plebs but homegirl don’t shop secondhand no more.

We have a combined household income of over $250,000 and I shop secondhand ALL. THE. TIME. Half my home decor is thrifted. Half my kids’ wardrobes and toys are thrifted. Half my wardrobe is thrifted (my husband refuses lol). I’ll spend my money where it matters...dining chairs and bamboo onesies don’t fucking matter. I bought a high end high chair used for $50 and I’ll sell it for $50 when I’m done with it. That’s being smart with my money, being sustainable, and getting the biggest bang for my buck (especially if I use it for another kid). Practice what you preach, Elle.

I also fully disagree with her when she says the $500 chair is preventing her from buying other things like a dock a tot etc. She already has a dock a tot (or had, one was sent to her by the company). Theoretically, given that this is her THIRD BABY, she should have all the other things - bouncer, bumbo, etc - already. And if she doesn’t have them, then she clearly didn’t need them for her first two kids and so why does she need them for her third? Especially at $100-200 prices for the add-ons on top of the $500 purchase price for the chair itself?? Technically, all those baby items are convenience or luxury items anyway. Not very minimal, nor is it sustainable. She makes zero fucking sense.

THIS!!! Yes!!!! We have a 300k income just from my husband alone, and I can say with full sincerity that I would, first of all, NEVER tell someone who is lower income that they are perpetuating “the cycle” by buying things WITHIN THEIR PRICE RANGE!!!! I also buy second hand most of the time, and exactly like you said, I buy quality for a low price and sell it for the same low price OR donate to someone I know needs it, but NEVER do I spend full price! Nor do I encourage that! I take great pride in the bargains I find and spend my hard earned money on. I think if you are wise with your spending habits, you naturally have more money as a by product.

Her poor husband must be so beat down trying to keep up with her outrageous spending habits simply so she can keep up her image. And also, like you mentioned, this is her third baby, she should have EVERYTHING that she needs! I needed almost nothing for my second child except for a few girl outfits since her birth followed her brothers.

But really, Elle, if you are going to spout out ridiculous advice about minimalism and leaving a smaller footprint, get your head out of your bloody arse. You are the worst! And please, don’t try to speak to lower income families about how they should buy quality second hand; we ALL should, regardless of our income. You, my dear girl, are just disgusting. As a previous poster mentioned, she seems to try to rationalize her outrageous ideas to her viewers, but it’s so obvious that she’s trying to wrap her own head around it. Elle, if it doesn’t make sense to you off the bat, it’s because it makes no f*^€ing sense-don’t try to convince yourself, you just look hopelessly confused about life, and that’s not cute dear.

I haven't watched her in a long time. I've always had the impression she and Doormat Dan won't make it long-term; they seem such a mismatch. When is the baby due? Why is she in such a hurry to have kids in rapid succession? Is she old?

As someone close to her age I’m going to say no she isn’t old lol BUT she admitted in their marriage videos that basically they are a dumpster fire and not going to make it, but she doesn’t want two baby daddies so she’s popping them out with Dan before he gets the nerve to leave her.

I haven’t looked into the difference between the two chairs but in Canada the Tripp Trapps start at about $350. The chair she wants (I forget what it’s called) starts at $549 CAD from that high end baby store she likes, West Coast Kids. The add-ons for the chair apparently start at around $100 and there are several. So this easily becomes a $1000 chair.

She wants 5 of them so that the whole family can have one since they can be used as normal dining chairs when the kids have outgrown the other modes. She says they fit her “Scandinavian” aesthetic (there is literally nothing Scandinavian about her house).

What in the world is this magical chair that does all these things?

Its so magical Elle said you can pass them to children and their children's children... and so on and so on. That's sustainability.

Has anyone watched today’s video? She spent the first two minutes going on and on about how she’s totally cool with a girl wearing boy’s clothing. Then she proceeds to throw out a blue sleep sack because it’s too boyish? It’s a sleep sack. A purely functional piece that nobody will ever see. I guess she will end up repurchasing in a more suitable colour and probably for a higher price tag! So much for minimal mindedness and sustainability...‍

I will say that knitted sweater that her mom started and Elle finished is really sweet. It’s nice to have something like that. Keeper for sure.

But don't you all know... she conveniently lost all her baby gear in "the flood".

That made me laugh so hard. Apparently it was a biblical shit that clogged her toilet.

Her obsession with Scandinavian stuff is so beyond me. This is apparently Dans heritage, not even hers, which is so strange. She has no self-identity and obsessions like that make it glaringly obvious. She’s such a sad person.

And it’s true, there is NOTHING Scandinavian about her house. Her house decor reminds me of a 19 year old living in their first ever flat. It’s just a mish-mash of whatever looked appealing in the store at the time with zero thought put in to how it would actually tie into her house. Her home decor videos have always been the funniest to me because she’s just so BAD at decor and I think she’s oblivious to it and truly believes she creates desirable spaces.

Yeah I don’t get it. I’m not an interior designer by any stretch but I fill my home with things that I love, not things that feed a particular aesthetic. She also labeled her house tour video as “midcentury modern” which it is not. Her home decor is plain, juvenile, and suburban. Everything comes from Canadian Tire or HomeSense.

I feel like THE GREAT LINDQUIST FLOOD OF 2017 was actually a blessing in disguise because it forced her to grow up her space a little bit. But then she got all those super annoying donations from everyone except FEMA and that’s a whole ‘nother hill of beans.

If by “scandanavian” she means she’s shoved together a bunch of stuff that looks like it’s from IKEA... she’s nailed it.

How does she have no in bwteeen? Either home decors from Target hauls to the states, or 500 chairs. Nothing in between. Her suburban housewife decor style looks so cheap and the opposite of minimalist. Minimalist doesn’t buy cheap form decor just to meet a specific “scandaniavan” aesthetic.

Heads up: I'm about to take something she says too personally and rant about it for a bit. Don't mind me.


Makes my skin crawl when she refers to that incident as "the flood".

The words "the flood" bring to mind five feet of water in my house and everything in it smelling of wastewater once the water receded after four days. I literally had nothing. Half my town and the entire town next to me had nothing(my house was on the edge of the affected area, many people had water in their attics WITH their houses being raised 4+ feet from the ground). At the time my daughter was five months old and all of her clothes and furniture my aunt had passed down to me and I was hoping to use for years to come was ruined. All of my furniture was ruined. All of my appliances were ruined. My car was ruined from driving through the water to get to safety. FEMA gave me pennies compared to what needed to be done to make my house livable.

Elle, what you experienced was an overflowing toilet and you couldn't be bothered to yell, "HEY GOOGLE, HOW DO I STOP THE TOILET WATER?" to one of your many #sponsored devices. Stop saying "the flood" and acting like it was so devastating to you and you just lost soooo much so you can use that to rationalize spending way too much on a high chair and preaching to low-income folks how we should do it, too. Bite me.

[Margie]

“HEY GOOGLE, HOW DO I STOP THE TOILET WATER?"

I’m DYING!!! Lol! But really, I feel like it’s common sense, which she’s clearly lacking. The shut off for the toilet is right on the damned thing!!! My favourite part of that video is when she recorded the call to Dan and he quite clearly didn’t give a shit (excuse the pun) about what she was saying. He knows she’s a blasted fool and it’s so obvious. But wait! Let’s force him to make a video he doesn’t want to make (she confessed once how he didn’t want to be on YouTube but she had forced him, that may have been their dumpster fire marriage series) about how he thinks she’s so brilliant.

Does she really SELL the free stuff she gets? Where does she sell it? Can anyone point me in the right direction?
