Tatinette is SLAYYING with her sexy new bob and bangs a la Doris Day!🤩
Most definitely-maybe an exquisite facial too. She has rosy cheeks. 😊 she always looks so stylish!
I love her voice....!
Love your aunt's new haircut! Good to have them back.
I've already forgotten what it used to look like ? I do know it wasn't sweetheart Isabel with a hairclip
Yes, love the new style. Tantinette is so beautiful and delightfu! ( So is tonton Stephen) 🥰🥰
No worries about being late, we'll just watch the next day 😊
Much better now, very feminine hair style 😊
She looks 20years younger!! She will like that one.😂
I don’t care what time you upload your videos. I enjoy them at any time! If I fall asleep before I see them, they are a lovely treat the following day! Keep doing what you’re doing on your timeline! Thanks Steph and Philip! ❤
I feel the same!
Same here. 🥰
I'm in Arizona so it's still dinner time ❤
There is no coensidenses, Stephanie!! God and the Universe and the Angels 😇 are helping you in this work! ..you was ment to bye and restore “LaLand” for humanity to get involved.❣️you have No idea 🤷 howe this raised the Human spirit🙏🙏 when we needed it. …The spirits shines thru it all… You restored our Faith in Humanity….Keep Shining Earth 🌍 Angel!! Thank you 🙏 thank you 🙏 🥰👏👏♥️🕊️🕊️
Same here. I’m always happy when I see there’s a video and no concern of when I see it.
You are your mother and your aunt ! 😊👍
Agree so much
Stephanie, don’t wear yourself out! Editing late into the night is not good for you. I am in Canada and enjoy your videos whenever you get to post.
Stephanie, I adore getting six videos a week to spend with LaLande, but do hope that you aren’t going to wear yourself out, especially just before the season starts. ❤
Yes, I was thinking three videos per week would still be quite a lot!!
Yes indeed ❤
Your aunt and uncle look fantastic- the south of France must really agree with them.
Don’t worry about the time, as long as it’s about this happy place, any time is right ❤❤❤❤
Your Aunt looks stunning in black and that beautiful green. And her hair all done. She looks beautiful. She radiates beauty.
I'm grateful and happy any day and time of day that Stephanie shares life, love and laughter and miles of fun and smiles with us in her videos.
I laughed out loud when I saw the title of today`s vlog!
My new mantra, "Why make it easy, when you can struggle..." Brilliant!
In Nederlands I believe this attitude is called moeilikdoen
It's a French expression : Pourquoi faire simple quand on peut faire compliqué.
ditto !
I so enjoy seeing Lancelot sprinting along without a leash. He is loving his independence and in control of his Chateau.....!😉
Yes, it is his. Precious "darling".
When I watch the videos, I feel part of the family.
Anytime is see your aunt and uncle they make me feel so happy. I love the way they dress and interact with each other such a loving couple I admire that.
Chantal and Stephen - marvellous couple!
❤
I’m at an age where I find myself being my grandmother! My younger sisters love to tease me about it! Poor Philip, he’s outnumbered by women! At least your uncle is there now! I adore your aunt and uncle!
I would have major withdrawl if you stopped daily vlogs. Thank you for sharing La Lande with us.
Your beautiful aunt looks gorgeous in her new hairstyle. She looks like she is aging backwards from when I first found your channel. All the women in your family, definitely including you, are so beautiful. I love your KZhead channel.
I first saw her on a Christmas vlog a couple of years ago and my god Tatinatt looks a decade younger.
Chantalle, you are looking happy and rested, and I like the new hair style!!!
Oh Steph. We all turn into our Mothers. At some point, in some ways, and it's not all bad. My best friend sometimes responds to me with "Yes Dot" as I'm channelling my Mum.
Us men don't.
Yes you do. Think about habits. The way you might cook or do the laundry. The stores you shop in.
My sister says “Well, you’ve got to be like somebody!”
Hey Steph > I have been here since Michael helped you get into all of this. I do not care when your on. I live in US another country & much distance away from you. Just that you come on > Is all I need to get my head out of all the chaos. Thanks, so much for all you & Phillip & the team do & for sharing your lives !! ❤🎉🎉 😉
I remember those days with Micheal. Seem so long ago
@@Cardelrey I was thinking about Michael a couple of days ago. It's sad he just disappeared. But that's just the way it goes sometimes.
Completely agree !! Your smile, your company, is all we need !!
He's back on The Pethericks at the moment, helping with bedroom makeovers in the chateau 😊 @aleta5873
I have been watching you from very early on Philip you are a star your tables and your style are amazing ignore the ladies your shopping and cooking is amazing we all love you ❤
If I don't catch your video, I love watching with my coffee in the morning makes my day brighter
I must say that I very much like Tattina’s new hair style, it suits her very well….fresh and young!
Timing works perfectly for us Canadians. With her floristry and chef skills, Marie is so multitalented. You, and us by extension, are lucky to have her.
Many of us in the southern hemisphere are really quite enjoying the time slot for your videos, thank you! If it changes, I'd be happy to watch later on when I can. No matter what, I'll be watching!
Yes, the Southern Hemisphere time is perfect to start the day.
What an absolutely beautiful lady your Aunt is! When she was smiling and so animated about the work in the chapel, she looked like a woman in her twenties. She has such lovely features and her joyous personality shines through her eyes. It seems to run in the family.😍😘
You don't owe anyone an explanation for the time of your videos. You are doing a wonderful job.
I love Chantals longer hair! She is always beautiful and stylish. Blessings to you all. And prayers the dehumidifier are not too costly.
To echo so many others here, whenever you get these videos out each day-its always welcomed!!! You all are a highlight to any day...truly. I also hope you aren't working too hard again and that you are finding a balance between work and play. I know Mummy would agree (and yes we all turn into our mothers to some degree-I see it in myself more and more with each passing year!!) The chateau is always full of Light-even more so when your aunt and uncle are in town!! Much Love to you all!! xoxoxoxoxo
No worries about late vlogs, they are even better in the morning when I am fresher. See you all tomorrow sometime. 🙏❤️
The South of France agrees with Chantal and her new do! Rejuvenated ❤
You should take a trip and film De Toulouse for all of us to see. Good trip for you and Ollie.
EXCELLENT idea!!! Stephanie should take her mom and aunt to Toulouse so they can show her around (perhaps this has happened before) ... but for all of us to get a sense of how Isabel and her sister grew up... their house & neighborhood, where they went to church, and school, etc, etc ...and all their childhood stories.
I await every video. If I cannot watch it live, I get to it within 24 hours. You are doing us a service and I appreciate it. Sometimes, life happens.
I really hope Isabel makes it back to France before the interior scaffolding comes down. ❤️🇨🇦
Isabelle said in a comment that June is their planned date of arrival.
@@carolinegooder7091 and I really hope she’s back before the scaffolding comes down so she can see the chapel details from the vantage point the scaffolding affords 🫠
4 hours ev ery night!! What a commitment. Reminds me of all those dark cold hours on the side of the road uploading when you first started .Thank fully technology has improved in your area. Yes,it is your business, along with keeping all the things going in olvejd with the whole complex. Stephanie you are amazing and I thank you for this homour of being invited into your lives.
WOW. 6 videos a week. Take care of yourself and thanks for sharing your lovely meal. Don't forget your AM waddles.
Thank you for your commitment to the daily vlogs! It doesn’t matter what time you post! I enjoy your vlogs immensely and really enjoy seeing what you do each day! Thank you!
Anytime you want to get wax out of a container like that. Just put it in the freezer. When the wax freezes, it will shrink down and let go of the container. And make it much easier to clean. I think you should have some of that lemon marangue pie for breakfast with your tea. You've more than earned it, Stephanie.
I just love the chapel updates!!! What a treasure!!!! The dinner and pie looked delicious as well 🌞
A dog was what lalande needed! Everybody loves him and he is such a happy fellow. Enjoyed watching!
Thanks Steph for allyour effort! Regards from Argentina ❤
Stephanie, anytime is perfect to watch your vlogs! They are the highlight of my day or night! Thank you for another sweet day at Lalande! xox
Your aunt looks especially beautiful today. Her loveliness shines out from her face x
Stephanie, to avoid the cracks in your pie crust, roll your dough out in a circular manner instead of rolling from center outward. Thank you for another wonderful video.
Doesn't matter how late you are, we enjoy your videos, the chapel is looking fantastic!
This has to be so surreal to the family that owned the Château for 200 years to watch this. I know you’ve had some show up here and there throughout the years but I can’t wait for them to see the finished chapel, that is going to be an awesome sight.
Your video arrives around mid morning here in Qld Australia, I don't mind a bit what time as long as it arrives. Love the contents today as always seeing everyone bustling about, Lancelot is a joy to watch. Thank you Stephanie and everyone 💕🇦🇺
In New Zealand you timing works well with our afternoon tea
Beautiful flowers! Beautiful food! Gorgeous chapel! In America I look forward to watching the Chateau Diaries with my evening Sleepytime tea and a square of dark chocolate. I'm one who doesn't mind the videos posting later in the evening. I'm always happy to watch! Love to all.
I agree. Finally watching at 11:40 p.m. after my Sleepytime tea.
Loving the Time slot from Oklahoma!!! Listening to Your Aunt speak French is like listening to music so beautiful 🌹
Stephanie, please don’t stress about when you get videos posted! Every viewer who is a constant fan knows how difficult it is to do all the work you do! Thank you so very much for all the enjoyment!
Alright Marie, you go Lady, floral arrangements are already beautiful!!!
Phillip has many talents, Phillip DO make a book Kitchen table to Formal dining!
I just wanted to thank you for all for the hard work you all put in to give your faithful extended family daily vlogs. I just LOVE them. It's so like old times. I'm sorry for everyone in Europe that gets them late. I hope they enjoy them as much as the rest of us do. It's so exciting to see the daily renovations of the chapel. It is going to be absolutely magnificent!! I still have to pinch myself when I realize I will actually be there in May. I am beyond elated and getting more excited by the day. Love you all!
Don't worry, it's worth it! Love you, and thank you. ❤🎉❤🎉😊
We are all learning so much about restoration during the process. One day, all of the videos can be edited for the historical tour of Lalande. Plus Michael Potts can do the picture book for sale in the shop. 😂
Your aunt's new hair style is fabulous ❤
Philip writing a book was mentioned. I would love a book of Philip’s tablescapes!!❤
Thank you for the vlog, I appreciate your time and effort.
Wow, four hours of editing a day, that is a huge effort. Deeply appreciated!
Stephanie I don’t think anyone would care about the timing of your video we are just grateful you put one out having such a busy life. Thanks for all of the videos your amazing
Tatinette looks so young... she's adorable ❤
I love your videos. Lucky for me, I am in Canada and 6 hours behind you, so I watch at bedtime 😊
Hello, from beautiful B.C. 🇨🇦
Marie, will you save the bulbs to replant?
It would be a waste not to plant them ...even if they were along the path in the woods.
The chapel will be breathtaking! So rich in colors!!!❤
Thank You, Stephanie, for sharing these videos. It doesn't matter to me what time they come in.
❣thank you for sharing! - whenever you post!
Anytime you put out a flog is fine. If you need to miss a day here and there just do it. Don't get too tired. We love your videos ANYTIME. Love from New Zealand.❤
Don't you worry about it ❤
Thank you for sharing your lives. I enjoy all of your friends and family…
YOU'RE A CHAMPION! 🤩Doing that many vlogs per week that are always so much fun and so interesting, is quite extraordinary in my opinion! Félicitations Stephanie! 🥰🤗 Another colourful and uplifting day from Lalande ...bisous Marisa 😍💖
Just a hint...take strips of tin foil and press over your outercrust and bake..your crusts will be less dark...now I want lemon pie..lol. The chapel is really starting to look great!
The late posting time doesnt bother me at all, I am a night owl :)I love the sense of immediacy
I don’t mind that the vlog is late because, what better to wake up to with a cup of fresh coffee, The Chateau Diaries! Perfect! ❤
I just love your Auntie and your Uncle. Her absolute joy at how the chapel is coming brought tears to my eyes. Marie is so special. Love the look of the granola. Flowers are beautiful always. Lancelot is a joy and loves everyone but Marie aside from his human parents loves her so much. Marie you are just adorable. I’m so glad you are still doing your florals. Please someone take care of the cabinet doors before the season begins. It needs to be cleaned and painted …. Stephanie and Philip it is a joy to see you both so happy . I love seeing the table at the LaLande household. That Meringue pie looks amazing and I’m sure it was delicious, but that sardine dish she made. Stephanie sounds delicious and I’m sure with that wonderful French bread was a great starter.
Great video. Great progress on the chapel, company, flowers, and dinner. Amaury to the rescue starting the car.
I really appreciate all your hard work that goes into these videos. An I also appreciate having them almost daily. So I dont care what time they come I look forward to each one. 🦋
Poor Philip 😂 it was funny to listen to the conversation though 😂I love Lancelot So much he’s so friendly with everyone, such a good little doggie 🐶🤩
I will never get tired of watching this videos❤❤
I don’t mind the time for upload as you are my morning treat! Love seeing daily life at the chateaux with you❤
Please do not give up on the daily vlogs.🤞
Maybe instead of just sponsored stars we can sponsor a fleur-de-lys or a palladium cross? The chapel is sure to be way more expensive than the estimate
Bless you Stephanie!!!, much success. I didn't know, you were editing that long.
Ya :) it takes a long time to put it all together and cut and so. Impressive and skilled she is to do it in 4hours many say they use over 10 hours for a video about 16 min long .
ABSOLUTELY LOVE the daily vlogs and whenever you want to post is fine with me. No pressure at all or it won't be enjoyable for you. ❤......
I live in Germany and I watch your vlog while I have my coffee before going to work in the morning, so it works wonderfully for me. And anyway…editing and posting nearly every single day takes so much discipline and effort. Who are we to complain? I love the daily insights whenever you upload them, Stephanie. Thank you for all your hard work. ❤
That green cardigan is such a great color on your Aunt
Yes Philip, go for it, write a book!!!🤩
We love you no matter what!
Oh Stephanie.....don't wear yourself out! As much as we all LOVE the daily vlogs....I'm pretty sure no one would mind every other day!!!! Sandi xxxxx
I’ ve also recognised, that it is impossible to edit all this videos on time for Europe. But I love them so much, don’t worry, we’ll watch them in the morning. ❤ Love your aunties new hairstyle.
Thanks, Stephanie et al
I --- like so many others --- LOVE your aunts new hair style. She is looking fabulous these days. Thank you to all at Lalonde for bringing me so much joy!
I just love Tatinette!
It IS woth it Stephanie! We just watch your video the day or morning after. No problem!🙂🙌🙌
Hello Stephanie and Philip, I'm posting as your apologizing for your blog being late 😂. I did have to watch today with my lunch, but honestly you all are a perfect mid day pick me up!! Watching your beautiful Aunt, enjoying the beautiful work that has been done brought joyful tears to my eyes. It truly is magnificent. To hear the connection from where your family came from is serendipitous , and I believe truly all meant to be❤ You or Maria said, Philip should make a book. I am championing that idea!!!! I would purchase it. I think it could be the best book for everyday, house warnings, engagement parties.... Seriously please make a book or 3!!! The two of you could do a book together, sharing design ideas and how to create beautiful tables, rooms, outfits.... Seriously, you two can show so many ways to make just about anything beautiful, and on a budget. I am so thankful for all the happiness and joy that you bring every day. You two work to mutch! I for one would just re watch old episodes, so you could have time for resting/ time together. Sending love, Audri
*you're
What a happy bunch of people. Love all of you ❤. I am a faithful watcher.
Love Tatinette always dressed like a real lady.
Sending lots of love from Pennsylvania, USA. 🤍
Thank you, Steph, for your daily vlogs 🌟. I 💚 them. The chapel is looking fantastic, so proud of all your efforts to keep the charming building repaired, maintained and restored.
Why does it matter what time you upload, I don’t see why it’s a big deal. You upload when you can and we watch it when we can. I’m just SO thrilled that you’re doing videos everyday. I love it. Your lemon meringue pie looked wonderful, BTW. ❤️ love to you all
