My 'House'

In which I give a tour of my house.

Spoiler: Living at the Bruderhof, I get a simple furnished apartment big enough for our small family to live in. Cons: We switch apartments a lot. Pros: There's not much clutter I have to move!

About Me
I'm a young mom living in an intentional community called the Bruderhof, and vlogging about what that's like. All ideas and opinions my own 🙂

"Keeping our houses uncluttered is hopefully a reflection of how our hearts and minds should be - uncluttered by material concerns." Beautiful.

I appreciate this lifestyle but admit I am super private person/not sure I could get used to that much togetherness/but everyone seems so happy

[CinnamonToast]

This lowkey sounds like college. Living in a dorm, eating at a dining hall, you even have door decs!

[KarinD]

You remind me of Anne with an E. Your beautiful!!

It looks lovely - like a large family. Thank you for sharing this. I like the idea of getting back to the original church.

I miss that simplicity from living in the Friends community. People don’t realize how much stuff we don’t need and how much of what we do “need” can be easily shared and some honestly forgotten about when it’s not right in front of you. It looks like calm there, the living spaces.

Thank you for the peek into your home. I find it warm and lovely in its simplicity, which is the way I am attempting to live. Unfortunately, I’m not there yet but will continue to simplify. It clears the soul, mind, and ultimately the daily chore load. :-)

Clean, simple, airy digs. I'd even kick in to the Bruderhof fund for a batch of those chocolate cookies. I can almost smell them right through the screen.

[BloodofTheLamb]

You had me at “chocolate chip cookies”. God Bless the little things.

[TheIrishlass]

Lovely except for the sharing the bathroom, I couldn't cope!

[AimeeColeman]

Interesting way of living. Do they let the families leave easily if they want to? And do they let people inside keep in touch with loved ones outside? Also, do they let people choose their own jobs within the community from the ones that need doing?

[patrickvernon]

As a soldier I absolutely appreciate the simple, disciplined and communalistic living.

Does anyone decorate? How do you handle decorations as far as ownership and moving?

[robinrubendunst]

Laura, what about your books? If you enjoy classical music, or opera, what about your CDs? If you enjoy singing classical music, what about your music scores? Can you watch movies? DVDs? Can you wear perfume? Makeup?

It all sounds so shallow, but i enjoy these things.

[LilithsOwn]

I can understand you share a kitchen with other people in the house, but I really couldn't stand the idea of having to share a bathroom with another familie - eew - that is such an intimate place, where one can relax and cleance oneselves, you don't want to enter a place that was just used by someone else for those reasons... well at least I don't.

[LlamaMama]

I loved your little space and your community ....simple spacious and uncluttered.🙋🏻‍♀️❤️

[Swedetwin]

I just discovered your channel yesterday....and you are delightful. Love your simple home. Ironically, we will soon be moving & we have an attic full of your Community Playthings stuff: unit & hollow table/rocking boat/toy vehicles saved for our future grandkids. So, lol, your wonderful products will be complicating our move!!!!

[kristyhenson]

Can you please do an updated version of this? This way of life is beautiful

I would like to visit a community. You might consider having a guest cottage or two on the land. Of course you would carefully screen guests, provide a code of conduct and such. And guests would be expected to help out. I think many people and families would be interested. I would be a vacation for a family where their children would learn responsibility.
