That was SOOOO beautiful! The morning with the lights, the coffee, the bread, the fire, the towsled hair of the little ones. Your baby saying how much he loves to watch smoke. The was all just food for my well you for the peace that this brought in a chaotic and sometimes ugly world. I love your videos and I love your hubby just sharing his heart about his vision. Not many women have a man who shares in that way. You are blessed!

[debbieorangeyouasweet]

Thank you for sharing a small part of your home. The smell of fresh heritage grained bread, strong espresso, egg foods, prosciutto foods all mingling in my head. You set the scene, rise before the rooster crows. The sweet cherubs with tousled hair appear from their cozy little beds, with the sleep still in their eyes. The day begins together at the table, breakfast first, than farm needs tending. I believe one cannot plan a plot of land without knowing who will tend to it. Bellissimo 💝

Why are not 20 million people watching this? You guys are the best! Thanks for sharing...God is smiling.♥

Shaye, I just have to tell you. I have been watching your videos, they always relax me. When I saw this one, I couldn't help but keeping smiling. I want to tell you why.... Yes, I know some things are staged for the videos -- but, the combination of what is and what is not, is precious. You with your daughter in the morning, her cute little messy hair -- not staged for the camera, and precious. Stu with your little boy lighting the fire. Your husband is right there, and obviously your son has been taught, and continues to be taught, how to handle them. And your daughter as well, lighting the candles on the table, her foundation of teaching on that skill done and she is older and continuing to learn. You guys obviously don't just say "don't touch those, they are dangerous." You teach them that they are a tool. I love the combination of sour dough, fermented pickles, espresso, lashes, dresses, jeans and coveralls; birthing and lipstick & nails. You, my lady, are a pretty amazing woman, who seems comfortable in her own skin, and that of her family. Thank you two for sharing your home and your lives with us. From a 65 year old grandmother ---- your mother must be very proud of you.

Glad to see you back, I’ve been wondering how you’re doing. The breakfast montage was beautiful. I love how you put so much effort into elevating the ordinary moments. I’m much more utilitarian and practical, but I love to watch it! I can’t wait to see what you do with the space.

I vote for an "old" European style greenhouse (glass & wood). Please, no plastic. Fill this with flowers, young vegetable transplants, cuttings etc. Surround this with small trees, a pond and possibly an "old style" gazebo or pergola. A small seasonal garden with some lawn would add to the ambiance. Good luck with the project and enjoy!

From those of us who are dealing with cancer and other diseases and who cannot have children, thanks for a glimpse into family life. You are blessed.

[deirdrecollins]

Silver birch, Crab apple, Holly, Mountain Ash, Cherry, Beech, Horse chestnut under planted w crocus, snowdrops, daffodil and primrose for spring, coneflower, black eyed Susan, campanula for summer, asters, sedum and grasses for fall, pyracantha and helibores, cyclamen and witch hazel in winter. Change as trees grow to shade plants! Happy Christmas!

[dianawilson]

I love the sound of old wooden floor boards when they creak. You really do have the perfect life.

I know this was over a year ago but I am going back watching your playlists and this video got my heart. Those dark early mornings when coffee hits a little earlier then the kiddoes wake up. My hubby works full time in aviation so on his days off we really savor these kind of mornings. Thank you for sharing normalcy of a Christian home of love. 🤍

[alicewalters]

I love the interaction U two have with your children. You don't ignore them. Happy gardening!

[FarmhouseonBoone]

Your husband sounds a lot like mine. Idealistic, in a good way. ;) This is exactly something he would say!

[michaeldemetriou]

You guys work so hard what with kids, farm, vegetable garden. I admire you guys with Great respect 👏🙏❤

[jeanneamato]

Your video was just like your just baked bread from the oven, warm and comforting.

[tommathews]

I was working in my woodyard this past weekend admiring all of the nice split racks of white oak, red oak and hickory. If I was closer I'd bring you some! I've got a couple of cords to spare....I look forward to seeing what you do with "the area." I'm sure it will be beautiful! Ordered your new book for Christmas....Hooray! Merry Christmas from back in Alabama!

Wow I remember those Washington mornings where it seems like the sun will never come up and then it goes down so soon. Do you guys not want to have pigs anymore? We built an outdoor kitchen this year and the sun was tough so we planted some trees for shade...but I could just not plant shade trees so everything we planted was fruit trees. Has made a nice "little" orchard that will grow to look awesome eventually. Good luck! My sheep are getting big too. Spring is just around the corner...sigh. So much to do! Have new pigs coming next week, build a new greenhouse for seedlings (should be easier to heat than the big greenhouse), finish the sauna and the outdoor kitchen...whew. My wife wants another pond for the ducks and geese too. But that is what makes this so much fun don't you think!!! Merry Christmas.

[BerrienGuy]

You guys always have just awesome videos. Thanks for taking the time and greetings from the Czech Republic

[tbrown]

You described what you’d like so we’ll I could imagine myself walking along the path to the pond with trees for shade in the heat of summer. Thank you for giving us a peak of your morning routine. Blessings and Merry Christmas to all.

[myalabamahome]

Your home is so charming! I'm in love with all the little touches and THAT KITCHEN!! Wow! There is something so inviting to your home that is so organic and real. Thank you for sharing with us. :)
