Surely that is still travel though, even if it’s not everybody’s idea of travel. The actual definition is a trip abroad...
This!! Couldn’t agree more.
I think we can conclude we quite like Katie.
Agreed, I have often wondered exactly what the cost of the trips is, and have wondered if maybe she doesn’t want to say as it could a) give away how much is free or b) maybe she doesn’t want to be Seen to be bragging? Either way, I’d like to know. Especially how much they must spend on eating out on holiday - every meal out is so alien to me.
I do like how she never says they are going away, or exactly where to at least, until they are there. And she has said on Instagram before she won’t put up the place they are staying until they leave. She displays much more common internet safety sense than most.
I think she seems like a nice person.
I’ve had to unfollow her because I can’t relate to all the holidays and expensive renovations anymore. Her old house seemed more attainable to me. Her new house is huge and I can’t help feeling jealous
What I do find super super annoying is her husband’s smirk in photos. The last couple of times he’s featured on her insta page he looks normal. But prior to that he’s been doing that annoying smirk for years- it looks exactly like this emoji
but the smile goes down at the edges . I get so annoyed with it I want to shout at my phone. Anyone else? 
You’re right though- husband appears to hate being on camera, poor guy. Wish he’d chose a different expression though xx

Her house isn’t as big as it looks, she lives in a very affordable area of the country and did get the house at an amazing price. I like Jon, I think he always looks embarrassed but I’m sure he wouldn’t do anything he didn’t want to, but he does support Katie.I think she seems like a nice person.

Jon’s weird smile gets me too! But I‘be come to the conclusion that’s just his faceI think she seems like a nice person.

and his “id rather be doing anything else” smile!I really like Katie and her family does seem lovely. I did recently unfollow her however as the picture perfect life, family, home etc isn’t for me. I totally respect why she just shows the good stuff and I think that she is doing things the right way in that her kids won’t really look back at anything that embarrasses them but her account is now something that I will only look at every now and again as to see a perfect portrayal every day is not good for me despite the sensible part of me knowing it’s not necessarily a true perception.
House looks big to me but I guess it’s subjective.
I like Katie and Jon too (minus his constant smirk
that in fairness he has stopped doing in the last couple of photos).When you say “amazing price” what kind of ballpark are we talking do you think x
Of all the insta husband's Jon is my favourite. He is supportive of Katie but doesn't take her social media job at all seriously or interfere with it and appears a really doting father and all round nice guy.
I know Katie is mortified at the idea of people thinking she is sneaky with Ads or questioning how she can afford what appears a lavish lifestyle. I think she does genuinely care about her viewers and I hope she carves out a decent career when all this influencer business is over.
I only have two issues with Katie. One being telling us they are saving for the next stage of the house renovation and then all of a sudden the long term projects (garden / bathroom) are done. She previously stated it took them six years to save for the extension on their old house, something I imagine lots of us can relate to but with the new house and now that she is a bigger youtuber telling us they are saving and then in a short few months the project does leave me questioning her. Just say I got a big payout from a job or that a brand contacted us with the offer of a bathroom suite so it became affordable.
I don't feel jealous of Katie but unfollowed because I was starting to feel inadequate as a parent. I don't feel the need to have the same house, furniture or clothes as Katie but when I know I'm not going to be able to give my children the same opportunities as her children it did make me feel crappy and when you start pricing up a Disney trip because influencers tell you just how magical it is for children and that these memories they will never forget and knowing that it is not realistic for your own children it makes you feel rubbish but you have to remember it is all marketing. Katie is great at marketing for the brands. I am sure lots of mother's have booked holidays based on her vlogs and posts so win win for Katie and the brand.

I like ‘em! I know it’s super annoying when people post that kind of stuff on here but her thread keeps popping up and I couldn’t resist. She seems fairly transparent with ads and appears to be a bit more selective with the brands she works with. She respects her children’s privacy more than most and Jon seems fairly down to earth which is a nice change from all of the other insta-ham dads. And no racism scandal yet so that’s a plus! Hopefully she stays pretty normal and I don’t end up with egg on my face!
Depending on where they live in the UK and how big the house is I don’t think it’s an extortionate amount to pay for a house.

I'd agree - depended on who you are, their house isn't that aspirational, I am sure Katie and Jon aspire to live in something like her mums house!
That is very good knowledge! Very interesting- thanks
You’re right those house prices aren’t astronomical- way off my budget but they may be fairly close to the average house price in parts of south of England
Although with all the renovations that house must be closer to £600k now I’d have thought

Agree can’t see this as their forever home
Nor me. They’ll shift up. It wouldn’t surprise me if the kids move to private school as well. Just my assumptions though!
