Even from the title I wasn’t expecting this to be so heartwarming

[rachelmaksy]

Not me SOBBING during the big hug 😭😭😭😭❤️❤️❤️❤️

OMG Simone!! Your mom is amazing! I love that she just rolled up her sleeves and got to work. Happy you got to see each other again!!

[generalcodsworth]

I love how she spends one night in the camper and is like, "you did well, but we can do better"

[CraftComputing]

This video was so awesome. I definitely understand where you get the 'screw it, Imma build a table' attitude from now :-D

“She’s like a can of beans. You can put her anywhere.”
-Simone

I know no one is reading these comments 9 months after the video came out. But this is so freaking wholesome! Especially where Simone and mom are sitting in the trailer together and like, "Let's continue remodeling this trailer together as a family." Pure wholesomeness.

Honestly with Simone I've reached a point where I'll watch anything she makes regardless of the build. I just love the way she documents and talk about her process and her personality. Like the switch to more home project based videos has been nice and I still get excited to see a new upload everytime!

"She is the human equivalent of a can of beans"
This is one of those sentences that you know at the moment you hear it for the first time, it will be staying with you for the rest of your life and ringing by your ears every time you see someone like it lol

[Rygoat]

The more this went on the more the similarities became impossible to overlook. I love how she rocked up, adored your work and then almost straight away was like "ok here's what we're doing next"
And she was right too, that table space was definitely needed you cant have a camper with no where to play cards... what would you do if it rained and you were stuck indoors pre-laptop days?

[karenpeck]

“I figured out a process. It’s just violence.” An apt description of any reconciliation process with a mother.

[Marionette_Doll]

"Now you know where I get it."
Doesn't want to go to a museum, just wants to build.

Simone and Simom dual-build time?


In all seriousness, this video was adorable and heartwarming. I hope you and your mother had a great time for the visit!

I cried watching this cos I’m gonna get to see MY mum for the first time in two years next month ❤️

[piplupcola]

I love how not only is Simone's mum so supportive of her career but also the inspiration for it. This is wholesome and sweet I love it so much

[TaunusMicha]

This was unexpected and cute.
"You beat brain cancer girl" made me laugh more than i should.
Good to see you dealing with it like this.

[m.thompson]

I love that as soon as Simone's mom comes into town, she's like, "Screw touring LA. Let's build stuff!"

[Aurayio]

"My decisions make no sense, but I'm having a good time" ... it just speaks to me. I feel so seen :D <3

[PongoXBongo]

Two things every mom does when they visit their adult child's home (or camper, in this case) for the first time: 1-check the water pressure, 2-point out something they don't like. At least your mom is both willing _and_ able to help you make the improvements. ;)

I lost my mom during the pandemic and it's been an absolute nightmare. I'm not sure if I'll be able to make it through this whole video yet Simone, but I'm so happy for you and your mother. Treasure your precious time together <3

I know the feeling. Hadn't met my father for two years and when we finally met last summer we spent three days building a deck. Working together is a great way of hanging out.
