- Amanda takes us on a tour of her self-built tiny home on wheels - a converted school bus that has been gutted and renovated on a budget.

I met Amanda and her kids at a Skoolie Swarm event last year. Those are the hardest working teenagers I've ever met. They are so polite, and they jump in to help wherever needed. Amanda and crew have created a beautiful and functional home on wheels! I'm so happy for them.
I can tell by watching how smart they are & on the ball . A great job raising them
You can tell by the video how well mannered, and hardworking they are. They are a very strong family unit.
At first, I thought, no way. No way this could work. But my goodness, I was wrong. It looks so cozy and loving, and they will always have these memories. Well done, family!
The oldest guy is a mechanic? Very handy😊
This is how family should be. Supporting each other. Good job mom.
One of the things I appreciate the most about Jenna's channel (and the skillful people who work with her) is that it covers a wide range of budgets and personal styles. Aspirational inspiration is good, but so is showing how to do more with less and talking about the tradeoffs. It looks like this family is thriving and I'm honored to hear them talk about their build and their lives.
This pulled at my heart strings. It's so special that her kids love her and want to spend time with her.❤
older brother sounds like the mvp here. dude has no personal space and just sleeps on the couch. must just be loving the traveling and family time to be happy doing that
He is just mature, he is the oldest and he understands perfectly the meaning of sacrifice. You obviously don't.
@pitaariel1920 real unnecessary to be commenting something like this. The op was not being rude.
@@pitaariel1920 and you obviously are immature and don't represent what you said particularly well.
@@pitaariel1920 They literally called him the MVP...it was a compliment
I'm guessing they are doing their best to get him into college. He probably won't be there longterm.
Great job Mom. With the children, with the bus; you’re The MVP ❤
Wow! What a great mom. Your kids seem wonderful, and they will always have these great memories that they had with their mom. I wish all of you much happiness.
I’m 67 years old and I wish I had this when my kids were younger ❤
Mom🎉 you are the best 😅 great job. You all seem pretty happy. Have fun on the road😂❤
I love the kitchen countertop. Also, the cozy bunks of the younger 2 teens.
I get a strong sense that you and your kids are killing it. The bond between you all is enviable. I am sure there are tensions but it seems likely they will not be too severe. This will stay with each of you all of your lives as a great time in your life.
What a great family! And, kudos to this mom - - she is strong, brave & resilient - - you can see that in her kids, as well.
: )
Beautiful setup; our kids grow so fast and Mom is making so many memories 💚❤️💜
This family is making this space & life work for them. I’m happy for them. I hope that they enjoy their lives & their time together.👍🏻🤞🍀🇨🇦
Nice skoolie build, and what a great family! I can imagine all the fun you are having touring the country and exploring all the beauty it has to offer. Thanks for the tour!
This is definitely one of the most amazing stories I've seen on this channel. What a phenomenal opportunity to share with your kids. I lived in a converted school bus in the early 1970's with my parents and it is a time I will never forget. And their school bus is really awesome - I love the distinct spaces. And the fact that they've got pets too, makes it all so wonderful for them. Thanks so much for sharing your story with us! ❤
What an awesome experience for your kiddos. Learning through living. They will never forget this mama❤ heal up✌🏼❤️
So great that you're getting time with your children and building memories! The advantages of going to a tiny home is worth it! My husband is building his first tiny house after retiring from a carpentry business of building garages and some homes as well. He has a UA-cam channel, kenskarpentry and so his latest project is building a tiny house on a trailer. He's in the beginning stage of building and already one of his subscribers recently bought it. Its gonna be a fun project!
What an inspirational Mother and children. They are a wonderful family.
What a joy to be together at this stage of your lives! It is something you will always remember - and treasure. Go you guys!
How beautiful! Loved how they customized their living space. Good for them for choosing this lifestyle.👍❤️😁
WHAT A BEAUTIFUL FAMILY….GREAT JOB MOMMA !!! YOUR SWEET HUMBLE CHILDREN ARE ABSOLUTELY AMAZING !!! THANK YALL FOR SHARING !!! I LOVE IT !!! I PRAY FOR NOTHING BUT GREATNESS FOR YOU AND YOUR SWEET CHILDREN…..GOD BLESS !!!❤❤❤👀👀👀🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
This is what happens to people when they are raised with love and real education, a homeschooling experience in life. I was moved to tears by the love and faith in this family. Such an inspiration, whether people live in travel homes or stationary; this world does not have to be in the state it's in and every person has the potential to become much more than they are. Blessings to you and your kids Amanda!
I love your tiny home. I love you are making time for your kids. It’s hard I know because my mom worked two jobs to take care of us 4 kids. I wanted her to quit one job so she could be with us and she did. It was hard but she did it. Very proud of her and you for doing that for your kids. You made this a great home for you and the kids. It’s very nice. I love it. I live it you made it your own. Thank you for showing this your home. Enjoy life with your kids.
You just prove that your family is strong than your situation. 🧡🧡 May you enjoy life to the fullest continuously.
You go sis keep your family tight and they will be smart and ahead of the game.❤ Nice family
I love your home for you and your kids. I was a single mom of 3 kids in the 80s and would have loved to had this choice to raise my kids! Be proud momma!! ❤
Lovely family!!! Great layout! I wish them all the best. When she said "I''m gonna cry, I felt that"
Update urgent emergency please join me in prayer for Terri had emergency brain cancer surgery last year she is improving she desperately needs continued prayers please pray for her and family God bless you all.. ..
Thoughts and prayers to them all.
🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏💕💕💕💕💕
So happy that this family is living their best lives! One question that comes to mind is what folks living this lifestyle do when their vehicle/home needs to go into the shop for major repairs?
Wow… 💔 things always happens for a reason. Much prayers for this brave mom and her beautiful children!
💜💐🙏….
Love your beautiful home and all the ideas ...So happy you all are together and sharing great memories, and fun..To All Pray..
BLESSINGS SHALOM...😊
Beautiful home. Beautiful family. I love how each of the teens gave a portion of the tour. They seem very proud of the home they've created together.
Amazingly tight family. All the work has paid off- just watching how close they all are and how comfortable the kids were to talk on camera. I'm impressed! Signed, a mom who also home schooled her five kiddos
I love your cheerful decor. Such a beautiful family.
I'm really so impressed with how smart and expressive these kids are! They're so beyond other kids they're age! It appears van life matures them and helps them flourish ❤️so beautiful 🌼
Very articulated family. I hope they will find someone to sort that shower for them - mum deserved some help, raising three on her own.
She is such a cool mom adventurous, free spirited, and fearless ❤😂😂
AMAZING!!! Awesome, so happy for you all. ❤
Congratulations mum on raising such lovely children. Its obvious that you love each other and seem to have great communication with each other. To fit out a 😂 bus in 18 months whilst still working is an amazing feat. I hope you will continue to have great adventures and a happy life, you certaintly deserve it. God bless you all.
Love your Tiny Home Schoolie and your story 😔
Enjoy your family because at the end of every dream it’s all we have. 🙏🏽♥️
Wow its amazing. You did a wonderful job building this bus. Your children are also amazing. God bless all of you. Good luck with your adventures! Safe travels where ever you plan on going. Lucky kids, this is a wonderful opportunity for them and you. Great family. 🙂❤️
Great skoolie and you and your kids are sure to enjoy this!
Beautiful, Thanks for Sharing, Many Blessings 🙏🙏🙏
Great job! Love the bus and family. God bless you all and your journeys.
Great counter-top, the art is beautiful and so bold!
Great job mom & kiddos! I love this!!
Wonderful! What a loving family.They have a great lifestyle.Thanks for sharing their story and taking us on a tour of their home.
GREAT JOB MOM! Beautiful build. The esthetic is great and very accommodating for young hearts and minds.
I really like to see people that decide to change the way they are living. I hope this family is very happy traveling together and that the changes they made work out for them. Everyone doesn't have to live the way that I do or you do to be happy and fulfilled. Wish everyone could understand this... Would I want this lifestyle with 3 teenagers? No I wouldn't. But I think it's great that this family chose to do it and seem so satisfied. Not going to make nasty comments just because it wouldn't work for me.
What a wonderful family you are! You have done a great job on your build - it is very functional and homey. You are a terrific mom - it shows in the poise of your children, they are mature and filled with fun and love for one another ~ they will remember these days for all of their lives. Sending you light, love, peace, joy and abundance always. I love you.
Sending prayers for the whole family ❤
Wow what a lifestyle!! Living life on your own terms, good for you! If you're happy and healthy that's what matters! Best of luck to you and your family!
You are an amazing mom,you and your kids are ao lucky to have each other.
Nive build and lovely family.

Wonderful life for the whole family bless them lots
I understand when Amanda said before she didn't have time to spend with her children. Mom's just like father's are always working and parents don't spend time with their children because of this.
Wow... what an epic family, and amazing woman! 😊❤💪
Lovely family. Wonderful mom👍🏼
Wow, am I impressed! I watch a lot of these girly UA-cam videos and this is one of the coolest bills I’ve seen I love the wood ceiling and the kitchen countertop with the word is really cool! They did one hell of a job! Also seems to be really cool kids!
great family!
Lovely family.
OMG! What an incredible family! Each one of those kids, are so bright and polite, without coming across like a nerd. Mom, be proud, be very proud, of yourself and kids, feel really lucky and blessed to have the mom you do. Oh! - and the bus build out is great, also.
What’s with all of the crazy people in the comments?
🤔¯\(ツ)/¯
Sad world we live in. Nobody really knows their situation. Could have been in a abusive relationship or fell on hard times.
So nice!
Love it!
Congratulations ! 💖💖💖💖
Beautiful family
A lovely happy family living in a beautiful mobile home 😍🙏🏻🌟🍀🌷🧡.
You All did a fabulous job on the build family!
Happy Trails🎉
Thanks Jenna😊!
JO JO IN VT 💞
Good job.
Great 👍👍😃 your children help you, Amazing woman n children
The Partridge Family!!
Nice bus ! How big is the water storage?
Love your pets❤
Great story for the mom and the kids. Couple of days ago when I saw a post debating which is better being single for the rest of your life or having kid/s. With this mom's experience, are you going to be happy living single like this? But there's always debate about this, I'm just talking this specific instance. hehe....but every person in this world has their own choices...
Reminds me of the Partridge family
i love this family very homey bus !!
Beautiful 🚎
Beautiful Ohana 💕💕🌸🌸🧘🏻♀️
All of you are the American dream. GOD bless!
