Vicki Gunvalson shares an amusing moment with Michael Smith<\/p>\n

\u201cUgh I ordered on Instacart a bunch of groceries and 2 organic carrots,\u201d she wrote in a July 23 Instagram Story. \u201cI messed up & ordered (2) 25 lb bags of carrots.\u201d<\/p>\n

The clip showed two large bags of carrots sitting in front of Vicki\u2019s home door.<\/p>\n

\u201cSo, Mike, I ordered two organic carrots, and two 25 pounds came,\u201d she said. \u201cMike, so what are you gonna do tomorrow with the carrots?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cTake them to the horse stables,\u201d he replied, while turning down the bed.<\/p>\n

Vicki urged her boyfriend to document his trip to the stables so viewers wouldn\u2019t accuse them of throwing the vegetables \u201cin the garbage.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cAre you so happy you\u2019re home?\u201d Vicki asked Mike. \u201cI\u2019m so happy you\u2019re home. I hate when you go away.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m really happy to be home,\u201d he responded. \u201cI love sleeping in my bed.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"BlueMichael Smith fulfills his promise to Vicki Gunvalson: “I gotta film this”<\/p>\n

As seen on Vicki’s Instagram, Michael kept his word and donated the vegetables to the Coto de Caza Equestrian Center.<\/p>\n

“OK, I gotta film this. This is such a Vicki-ism,” he said in a July 24 video. “I just dropped off 50 pounds of carrots to the stables here in Coto de Caza. Last night, she wanted to buy two carrots to make me stir fry, and she bought two 25-pound bags. So, I’m at the horse stables right now… I’ve given it to the horses, and we’ve got a bunch of happy horses here.”<\/p>\n

Vicki Gunvalson and Michael Smith are looking to buy a home together<\/p>\n

Summer 2025 has been quite eventful for Vicki and Mike. In addition to attending and hosting family celebrations \u2014 including Mike\u2019s birthday<\/a> and his daughter\u2019s wedding<\/a> \u2014 the couple began searching for a new home around the Palm Springs area. Vicki spoke about the hunt during the July 23 episode of My Friend, My Soulmate, My Podcast<\/a>, confirming she and Mike had submitted an offer on a property. She told her co-host, Christian Gray Snow, that she liked \u201cthe energy\u201d of the house and its next-level amenities.<\/p>\n

\u201cBeautiful backyard, on the golf course,\u201d she said about the home. \u201cBig pool, has lots of cooking stuff outside\u2026 a grill, a pizza oven with gas. It [had] a very entertaining feeling.\u201d<\/p>\n

Is Vicki Gunvalson ready for retirement? “Mike wants me to consider…”<\/p>\n

Vicki later revealed that she and Mike abandoned their plans to open a bar in Puerto Vallarta<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe decided not to,\u201d Vicki said. \u201cWhen I sat up at night and started thinking about it, I\u2019m like, \u2018Do I really want my husband to be in a bar at night in Mexico and I\u2019m in California or at the house waiting for him to get home?\u2019 Not good for relationships, so we decided against it. We lost quite a bit of money, but it was the right decision.\u201d<\/p>\n

Vicki said Mike had also urged her to cut back on work hours, as she devoted most of her days to her business, Coto Insurance & Financial Services.<\/p>\n

\u201cMike wants me to consider working three or four days a week versus eight. And I\u2019m open to that,\u201d she said before explaining her reservations about retiring. \u201cWhat do people do when they\u2019re retired? What do people do [when] they don\u2019t work? Help me!\u2026 I don\u2019t have any hobbies, Christian. I used to crochet\u2026 I raised kids\u2026 I think the people who are retired and have no purpose, they die.\u201d<\/p>\n
