- When we took on this vintage trailer restoration project we knew that it wasn't going to be easy with a newborn... but after getting it into the shop we decided we needed a weekend for ourselves.

“Remember when we used to make minimalism videos” lol! Yup… but a whole other human means different needs and you are taking good care of him so it’s ok if to not try for hold to what worked before baby. You’ll eventually wind back to a a combination of old self and new self as he grows. That’s said, I was very happy to pass along baby gear when we were done and have few large baby items under foot.
Yeah seeing how freely we have received stuff from other parents it seems to be the way it goes! Haha it should basically be a giant exchange program
Loved this! It took me waaaay back to when our daughter was three months old and we made our first trip to “camp” (aka cottage/cabin, what have you) with her in March. We live in northwestern Ontario, and we headed almost three hours north. When we had our daughter, I assured my partner that babies are portable. What I failed to tell him is that there would be about 100 lbs of baby gear and supplies to accompany her. 😊 Fun times, indeed.
This brings back so many memories: The car packed to the brim, the uneasiness of bringing a newborn to a restaurant/public place, getting back a different version of our former travellers life. A child should be an occasion to venture into the world not an excuse not to. Hope the trailer renovation gets easier and lead to many more adventures for you three!
P.s. Being a parent and a minimalist is indeed quite the struggle!
Really enjoying all the family style vlogs! Currently 33 weeks pregnant so it's been super enlightening to see what life with a newborn is like :)
It's a wild time but you're going to find your own way with it!
So excited you guys got to do this!!! Every single stage or parenting is a learning stage 🥰 congrats! Ps your baby IS SO CUTE :) lol
Frankie is adorable! You are both doing great with the beginning of the parenting journey. I am looking forward to the travels with the 3 of you together.
So are we! 🥰🥹
It's so crazy that I first heard about Victoria from your videos, and now I live here and I recognize the places you show!!
That's so great! congrats on getting to live in such a great city 🙏🏻❤
Indigenous families traveled with their children, look to the past for inspiration. Of course, they did not have a car either. 😊❤
That is impressive! I think we’re going to get better at it but baby steps!
You mean with baby wearing in some way? That is bound to keep your baby much more calm than being in a car seat alone for some babies.
I say this just because my girl when she was a newborn was very fussy on even the shortest car ride, I couldn’t have imagined traveling with her as a newborn. Of course everyone’s baby is different. I hope our second baby coming in May will be more chill in the car.
Frankie is so sweet. Glad to see you enjoying some time as a family of three
Loved watching all this baby content. Frankie is absolutely adorable!
Woohoo go Frankie! Growing and growing! Good job you guys!!! 🤍
the 3 of you are so sweet!! whenever i see pottery in the thrift shop it always makes me think of you guys
Victoria is such a great city. Frankie is a beautiful baby boy. 🙂🖖💕
Victoria looks sooo beautiful!! You guys are doing a great job!!
Thank you!
Also. That mushroom mug 🤤🥰 Leah, you'll have to check out the new potter featured at The Crafter's Market in 100 Mile House whenever you guys make the trek!!!
Always a good day when Leah gets to tour a pottery shop! Haha
Victoria!!!! I miss those vlogs so much
Still the cutest couple ever and now cutest Momma & Papa!
I stopped in Victoria on an Alaskan cruise stop, in 2006 and it really was beautiful.
We're lucky to have it on our list of potential places to live that's for sure!
I am so glad to see Frankie so big! I just had a newborn 1 week ago. He came out small due to growth restriction. He is tiny but so cute and I love him so much. I thought you guys bought an apartment in Victoria. I might be wrong. Happy to see you all enjoy your trip
I think they own an apartment there, but rented it out. So they can't stay there. I might be wrong though...
And congratulations on your new baby! He will get on the "normal" growth and weight chart eventually. All the best to you.
@@LeaSonnenscheinTrierThank you!
I'm loving seeing this new version of you guys!
Thank you for sharing a few peeks at that Frankie face - you ARE the parents of an adorable baby! 😍
I cackled at the "we used to make minimalism content" comment 😂 Also even though i live in Victoria, it's so nice to see it through someone else's eyes. Makes me appreciate the beauty of this city again
Will you also accept validation from online strangers? 😆 Frankie is adorable!! Happy holidays Levi, Leah, & Frankie! And to your families as well!
Congrats on your first road trip with Frankie! ❤️ I did want to mention to look into the safety of adding after market items to the car seat, especially anything that goes between the baby and the carseat. 💕
7 Years ago today we spent 6 days in Vancouver and Victoria, seeing the main street brought back some great memories,
Love your Christmas tree🎄!
Since moving to Colorado, I go into the mountains and cut down a tree which needs to be removed for forest management. There is a spiritual nonprofit that invites people to their land to cut Christmas trees for donations… creative fire management & fundraiser combo.
Did anyone else catch the ape/gorilla 🦍 sticker on the RV?!
Also, how will you approach raising Frankie in terms of religion/spiritual journey? I’m curious what you think about that aspect of life.
Love how your families support you both & Frankie and all of your plans/adventures. You are really lucky.
Merry Christmas! 🎄🎁 Thanks for your online presence. It is a gift!
It's amazing how mannnnyyy things such a tiny person requires! As someone who just did a 12 hour road trip with a baby and a 5 year old, I feel for you!
Remember the small Apartment from really back in the Day (klean canteen Video i think) 😊
lol i'm so dutch, "oehhh such a nice bike lane!!"
hahaha there's a few in canada!
You guys are the best. I'm glad that you got a needed well deserved break. I miss you when you are not here but that is a good thing for you and clearly us viewers. Getting colds is no fun, some nutrition aid supplements I find helpful, are Zinc, Vitamin C , and Echinacea, there are tons more, you probably know all of this, but distant grandpa has to give his two cents. You can imagine how it is.
Thanks for being here when we do upload though! Means a lot 🥰🙏🏻
Minute 11:20 Frankie is looking at you guys like "For real dude." 😅 He is looking awesome and handsome
Thank you! 🥰
Couldn’t the travel bassinet work as something to put some of his stuff in for traveling? Like his diapers/clothes or something like that could go in there and then go straight in the car without having to break it down to pack in the car?
Stop now I just want to drop everything and move to Victoria
Yes, confirmed, you have a very cute baby 🐥
We were just touristing in Victoria ourselves a couple weeks ago. It's such a fantastic city, especially when the weather is nice!
You don’t need to quit- just rest ❤
Trial run success! Many happy travels! That baby is delicious :)
Thank you!
Been a follower since you guys lived in Victoria! Now I go to UVIC and hoping to take a course by Leah! it conflicts with my schedule this year but I am hoping to get into it next year!
The art work on Leah’s family wall are Wow… can we get an i.g. or mini tour?
Pfttt you guys killed it. It’s funny- I’ve done a lot of renovations with my partner and your van seems so doable to me even in your last video where you were somewhat in a low spot. The traveling with a baby on the other hand was so overwhelming for me at three months! I’m better at it now for sure. Can’t wait to see how good you guys get at it so I can steal some tips
Hahaha some things are easier for others I guess? we're maybe a bit more used to travel than we are with renovations lol
he is a cute baby!
The mug at 16:44, I have the same version! :)
bravo guys!! Frankie is adorable and i hope you all feel better soon! welcome to the end of the fourth trimester. :D
The 4th trimester doesn’t end with male babies until they reach 25
5:03 best line ever :)
Such wholesome content ❤. What camera do you use for vlog?
That loft was pretty dope! Also, I think you got the cold everyone had here last week :(
Yeah I'm thinking that's it... Still crawling out of it now haha
You definitely need to make a bread making video 🙌
I remember just leaning over that car seat so uncomfortably and feeding my baby as we drove. I think every mom who takes their baby on long car rides soon gets the hang of it!
Halfway through the video I wanted to ask how you balance being wary of taking Frankie out and about (because of germs and respiratory virus season etc) vs not staying too isolated, and then you kind of answered it at the end! I gave birth to my kiddo at the start of the pandemic so that first year was mostly in lockdowns, and so my brain kind of breaks when I see parents with newborns eating at restaurants, etc! Both because I’m like, “oh no, what if you all catch something?” And also because it’s like something I lost/didn’t get to experience with a little baby, and it makes me feel a little sad. I hope you all feel better soon!
(For context, I’m swimming in preschool germs right now and if I make it to January without getting sick I’ll be pleased, lol.)
I’ll also say, a compromise between parenting more independently and inter-generational living is always choosing to live close-by the grandparents. Mine were minutes away and it afforded us privacy and autonomy but also lots of help when needed.
Thanks for the comment here! I think a close-by option is what we'll settle with eventually but it's fun to know that we can make it work this way too!
The blue building was the home of the yellow couch?
Glad to hear Frankie is on normal growth track. I know it could be concerning to the parents. Enjoy your precious bundle
❤
Oh yeah Crandell-Dad! @21:32
Newborn in a suitcase. Done! Giggling.
Was that a thrift store you were trying on clothes at? 😊❤
Yes! Our favourite one in Victoria!
Babies and minimalism don’t really go hand in hand. 😂once he is older it will be easier to travel. Definitely more challenging with an infant. Victoria is a beautiful city. Frankie is an adorable little boy.
Frankie is adorable! Glad we are getting to see that sweet little face of his!
Adventure #1 ….. In the books!
Have you done the classic, baby in lap while eating and spilling food onto the baby? 😅
What was that pickle drink?
Humanoids have been nomadic for longer than we've been human, so you've got experience and can do it better than anyone modern, for sure!
Enjoy!
Kids come with stuff… especially as they get older.
You know you’re going to need to keep the Prius for at least 20 more years to embarrass him in front of friends and dates when you tell them that this is where he was conceived & the funny things he’d do in it! Assumes driving an ICE vehicle won’t be faux pas by then😉
We're keeping it as long as possible! 😂
11:04 that alcohol, Leah? 😯
It’s 100% ok to drink alcohol when you’re breastfeeding if that’s what you’re referring to. Almost no alcohol is transferred to breastmilk.
@@rachelle2227only if she only had 1 drink and waited 2-3 hours. But it looks like she had at least two.
@@rachelle2227well that's just completely untrue.
www.cdc.gov/breastfeeding/breastfeeding-special-circumstances/vaccinations-medications-drugs/alcohol.html
@@aayotechnology it was a non-alcoholic beer and a small glass of wine (which I fell asleep before drinking any of it) but yes, as Rachelle said, it's fine to have the occasional drink while breastfeeding!
Feed while moving, no need to stop
If you mean being in the car, yes they absolutely have to stop. Baby needs to be in a car seat the entire time you’re in a moving vehicle. If you get in an accident, and you’re holding something, the weight of that object is multiplied exponentially by the speed of the car. You can’t hold on to it. And since she’s breastfeeding and not bottle feeding, she needs to take him out of the car seat. If you say “well we all did it 50 years ago and we’re fine,” that’s survivorship bias. You don’t hear from the people who did not survive because they’re no longer here to tell their stories.
I don't want to be a negative party pooper... but having all these loose items in the car is quite dangerous.... for you but also for the baby..... when you have to brake all of a sudden or when something else happens these items fly through the cabin of your car... hitting the people inside the car with all consequences.... but it can also get underneath the brake pedal ...
Be cautious with a baby. Especially with the amount of bugs and viruses. RSV is no joke. Careful exposing him to another of people.
They don’t need unsolicited advice from internet strangers. They said he’s immunized and they have their own parents and doctors to rely on.
@@sailorbrite hey I just work in pediatrics. What do I know.
Your thumbnail looks like you’re asking if Frankie is a mistake.
It’s fine with the title of the video but a screenshot of just the thumbnail wouldn’t be nice years down the road.
ffs just give up already. it's a boring storyline anyway
No one is forcing you to be here.
I think the opposite! I like everything about their storytelling.
And I hope they never give it up.
Why are you watching if you find it so boring? There's lots of content out there, go find something you like instead of leaving useless negative comments.
