A Simple Day in the Life

Enjoying the simple moments in life has always been something that Lou and I strive to do. To be present in the kitchen when we’re making a meal or enjoy a hike together, but getting a puppy has helped us throw ourselves into the present moment more than I could have ever expected. I think it’s because that’s where she lives entirely. There’s no overthinking things or worrying about the past with dogs. They’re just there. And it’s been a really beautiful energy to be around and pushed us to grow both individually and as a couple in the best way. I feel like this video really captures the magic of the life we’re building right now and I am so happy we have it for our memories. Just watching it now (I think we filmed this two weeks ago) and Freja’s already grown so much. She looks like such a little nugget and now she’s already 18 pounds! Anyways, hope you enjoy this day in the life and hope we can show you much cooler surfing clips one day hahaha I swear it felt more like a wave than a puddle in the moment :)

Big hugs,
Dana

Cutest cleverest little puppy girl! You're surfing ... and the garden is beginning to take off. Such a gentle inspiring life and to think a few months a go you were risking life and limb in a boat in the middle of a crazy ocean!! Never a dull moment with you guys. Your video stories are so wonderful!

Breathtaking cover photo—Dana, puppy motherhood looks so good on you! I love the exponential joy I am seeing in your lives with your “wiggle worm.” Love all three of you so much.

I've been following your channel from back when you lived in Berlin and have always appreciated how you share whatever season of life you are in so genuinely! I love the way you capture and share life's simple moments, along with life's big adventures. I'm so happy for you both and love that you are cherishing this time as you settle into a new home, with your beautiful pup. Watching your videos always fills me with peace and gratitude as I can feel your joy and contentment, and how intentionally you take in the present moment. Lot's of love to your beautiful family of 3! <3

Best puppy parents ever! Thrilled you are doing so well! I look forward to your videos, Lou and Dana!

The entire vibe of these vods are so chill and nice. Positivity to the max. Always wishing you guys the best. 👍😊😊😊

We’ve missed this regular section of calm in our lives, it’s so nice to have you back in your creative groove… and Freja! She is just adorable ❤️💚🌱🏴‍☠️😊

I was lucky enough to live on Oahu for six months with a family friend. The people there are not just nice, they are welcoming. It is so beautiful to feel like everyone wants you to be a part of their community wherever you go.

I don't understand all the negative opinions regarding them showing the dog training again, this IS their life at the moment, after all, having a puppy takes over MOST of your time. Also, people wanting them to go explore and show the island... Dana and Lou moved just a few months ago from a whole different setting, don't know about everybody else, but for me, it takes a good while until I feel settled.

Anyway, I have always loved their videos and watch them following their passions, no matter what they are. Little Freja is such a beam of light! My husband and I love to watch her grow AND getting better at her training sessions! I can't wait to see more of the garden, as we are also in a 'growing your own' journey since we got an allotment at the beginning of the year. Love from the UK ❤

I really love watching your videos, you're so gentle and cosy. It's like catching up with friends. xxx

[MegaDizzy]

I have been here since you two were travelling in the van and to see you guys finally at peace and happiness with your whole life is so wonderful to see! Having a change of heart with where you went your life to go is so scary and exciting and you both have aced it!! Truly Inspiring to someone struggling so much mentally and physically right now! You have taught me to chase my dreams and don’t give up until I wake up and say to myself every morning, is this real life!? My goal ❤️❤️❤️❤️

So lovely to watch how Freya is learning everything. It must be so much fun.

What a beautiful little family the three of you are. Dana and Lou, you seem like such genuin, good hearted people and the work you put in to train Freja is really inspiring. No matter where the three of you live; in a van, on a boat or in a house, a big adventure or a calm day in the life, I will follow your journey. Your videos bring me so much joy no matter what you're up to. Thank you.

I LOVE these slow day in the life videos. So calming. And Freja is too cute and such a smart girl, catching on so quickly to your hard work. Thanks for sharing!

[pahooper]

OMG my heart just melted, the look 👀 Freya had when she sat with her ball is enough to make anyone gooey. Love you guys and your positive vibes 🙂🙂

[janeg]

I really, really enjoyed that thank you for sharing, it's definitely a highlight of my Sundays to catch up with you guys x

[springwarren]

Thank you for sharing your lives with us!

[robchia]

This is the wholesome content I wait for every week 🙃

[Juli-dnfz]

I just enjoy every video. I think it is nice to have a look into a little and oh so beautifully and tenderly presented part of someone elses life. Everyday life most of the time does not get the credit it deserves (as the adventure it really is). I can feel yours. Thank you!

[nicandtris]

I think that was the biggest block of tofu I have ever seen!! Loving this new life you are building. Thanks for bringing us along!
