a cosy house sitting vlog: cleaning & cooking bolognese

A cosy day in my life as I wrap up a week of house and cat sitting in Dublin 🐱✨ Today I'm spending my final day cleaning the house, changing bedding, tackling all the last-minute jobs, and making a big pot of spaghetti bolognese for the family to come home to after their holiday. There's something so nice about returning home to a clean house and a homemade meal waiting in the fridge. Along the way we're chatting about what I've been watching lately (including Project Runway, Project Hail Mary, and The Devil Wears Prada 2), the World Cup, cosy homes, decorating inspiration, and life as a Canadian living in Ireland. If you enjoy realistic, cosy lifestyle content, small apartment living, home organisation, cooking, books, and relaxed vlogs that feel like catching up with a friend, I think you'll feel right at home here.
