    Lovely time away for you all. I once stayed in a shepherd's hut on a farm in Wales. I'd gone there to climb a mountain and stayed on a farm that had 120 goats. It was incredible and I loved the small space and simplicity of it all.
    As always, sending you love and light and blessings xx

I am not Jewish but I must be a little in my heart because I always feel better and more connected to my own higher self when I see and hear you.

    What a lovely vacation. Here in Norway you can rent small cabins almost like that, and my daughter and I have been to several. In my family we also have a cabin in the mountain where it's a bit more space. We used to have all our hollidays there when I was a child. Now I actually live down in the walley from that cabin, and live in a small community of 3500 people, where hiking, fishing, hunting, skiing - things like that is a big thing. When I worked as a teacher here, the children came skiing to school. Temperatures can be low, but all the children are still playing outside even in -4°F 😊

    What a lovely weekend for you and your family! I (now in my late twenties) have wonderful memories growing up of weekend getaways in cabins both with just my nuclear family and with cousins - lots of hikes/walks, games, food, reading - many of the things that you were doing. Thank you for offering us a window into your family life, and for the flashbacks.

    Reminds me of a book I found for my children many years ago. It is an old Yiddish tale: " It could always be worse"! They loved my Mom to read to them because she used different voices for the characters. I still have the book!! It's a very good lesson about contentment.

    Hi Chana, greetings from the UK. I just discovered your channel. And it was so refreshing to learn about your culture. I’m not Jewish, however I grew up in Golders Green, which has a large Jewish community in North London, England. I was always curious as a child living along side Jewish people how they live. As a mum and a Christian, I love your organisational skills and your strong dedication to your faith. You have a natural flair for the camera! Your videos are inspiring and you have motivated me to start my own vegetable batch in my garden and improve my baking skills after seeing you make those delicious muffins☺️. You have gained another follower!

    Im glad you had a short get away. Those are so necessary. When my kids were young, we camped frequently. I developed Rheumatoid arthritis when my kids were 2, 4 and 7. I couldn’t tolerate the pain caused by sleeping on the ground, so we bought a TINY tent trailer. It had a queen size bed , a twin size bed, and a tiny bed that slid out the back. We didn’t sit inside, or cook inside, we only slept in there. There was nothing but beds. No heat, no light. It allowed us to do “real camping” cooking on the fire, dutch oven baking, and living outside in nature. It allowed us to provide access to the lush Oregon coastal Forests and Cadcade mountains. We also camped various places on the west coast, like redwoods, and major rivers, as well as inland areas like Lake Coeur d’Alene, and Lake Ponderay in Idaho. At times we met friends from different states at mid points and did long camp trips, (multiple weeks). I love camping. Cant wIt until i have Grand kids to camp with!

    We actually lived in a tiny house for a couple of years. It was fun. Learned lots about how to maximize space and storage. We just moved a few months ago in a "normal" size house and I feel like I am at Downton Abbey...farmhouse style 🤪
    We actually bought an Amish farmhouse and are in the process having electricity installed.
    Glad you had a fun time with the fam. Have a great week!

    What a great place to spend a few days. I could so live in a tiny house as long as I had my books and needlework crafts, and family photographs.I like my stuff but I don’t need it, so I could easily purge it. I enjoyed seeing your husband-so handsome-(please don’t think I am a creeper) and glimpses of your beautiful precious children. I can only imagine how peaceful and close you felt to G-d doing your morning prayers outside in a swing. Swinging is like a little piece of Heaven to me. I enjoy it so much. I hope you have a truly blessed week.

    Me and my husband lived in an rdv for a year while he was working in a different city. It was hard at first especially with laundry but once we got it all figured out it was nice we saved a good bit of money on utilities. We didn’t feel comfortable with gas appliances in such a small space so we used a deep fryer, and a deep square electric skillet I cooked everything sweet and sour chicken and fried rice to spaghetti it just took a little more time. One funny thing was my dog who is a chow would lay on the dash and look out the windows for hours so when we came home he would be the first thing we say just sun bathing in the front windshield (don’t worry yes the a/c was on the whole time he’s our baby well he’s 12 now). Well I’m happy that all of you enjoyed your mini vacation and thanks for letting us have a look with you. The place looked amazing.

      Hedge balls are what we called them too! I lived with my grandparents in Tennessee for a while when I was very little and we had these trees all over the neighborhood. We played with them endlessly.

    We made our own tiny house compound. Made fires everynight. I cooked over it.. we reserved rainwater. We were on a lake and fished. There were trails we could walk. We cut our own wood. The local gas station had a Laundromat next to it. So i could get a few snacks and drinks as our clothes washed. Each of my children had their own space and my space was large enough for us to all be together. We had the best time ever! I hope to go back. I seriously want to live that way.

    Never skip on the blooper. They are such fun! I’ve just discovered your channel and it’s very reminiscent of a Roman Catholic upbringing back in the 50’s-60’s. We had different rules in some ways but were very dedicated to them. We all have our traditions. Greet Texas for me. I’ve been away for five years.

    I am catching up on your videos and enjoying them so much. I’ve learned a huge amount from you. In case no one answered your questions, perhaps I can help out just a little. Your sons found what some people call Osage Oranges and others call Hedge Apples. While not poisonous, they are very bitter and not pleasant to eat. Hedge apples are found growing primarily in Arkansas, Oklahoma, and Texas. Originally their wood was used to make fences. Today some people put them in their homes as the fruit is supposed to repel mice and insects.
