You are doing a wonderful job getting back to the basics in times of need. I personally love this home better than the larger one. Back in the day everyone had small houses and many children. They made it work. You are not too proud to move back to save money. We could all learn a valuable lesson from you. I’m sure your kids are learning valuable lessons too.
I’m feeling nostalgic seeing you guys back in your old house! The daily vlogs and the meal preps and family dinners! I think this house is just what you guys need! Time to get rid of whatever doesn’t fit and it will also be much easier for you all to keep clean because it’s not as big! Can’t wait to see it all come together!
I cant believe some of the comments on here...i get that everyone is interested but dont some of you have boundaries...some questions are just a tad personal and some are just rude. ..you people need some manners.... Anyway im glad you guys are going well, dont worry about all the negative nancys...you are clearly parents that would do anything for your kids, even putting the kids before the both of you for everything... 😊
I see it on almost channel I watch. People make rude comments or ask rude questions. They just ignore those. If they don’t take care of themselves they can’t take care of their kids
Other options - Largest bedroom : sofa bed + television, lounge room during the day and bedroom for the parents at night (television is less disturbing there) - Two other bedrooms : quiet study rooms for oldest children (better than desks in the hallway) - Room with the fireplace : bedroom with 2 triple bunk beds for the boys with Lego corner (or other toys) for the youngest (cube cabinets take away the light there and look better in the hallway) - Large room in the middle, next to the kitchen : bedroom for the girls with the beds as they are now + play corner for the little ones and an adapted corner for the older girls (with a mirror you can watch the little ones from the kitchen) Of course it's not up to me to tell you what to do. You are a cool family. Love you all !
You are doing a wonderful job, Australia is in such a crisis and you are showing us how to make do with what you have. Absolutely love your vlogs, you guys are by far the most interesting family on You tube xxx yay for you guys coming back to UA-cam.
I was just watching an old blog from 7 years ago on a grocery haul and thought to myself it would be interesting to put everything from the receipt into the online Cole’s cart and see what the price difference is now !!
Think about utilising some high space in girls room a shelf around above that wood trim line. Would be great. If you are able to drill into the walls etc
Glad 😃 to have you back ❤I had to downsize after my mother died and moved to a smaller place but I’m happy nowt still miss mama over me I lived in my old place we rented for over 50 years
Oh it will be lovely when you are all in the house again the kids can play safely in the garden they have got space to play football run round silly you've done a lot to the house painting it a fjxing it I wish uou sll have a happy time in uour house if walls vould talk I bet they would tell a pretty tale love fran ❤xxxxx
Hi to everyone I'm glad ye are back videoing again.the house is comming on lovely.ye had a lot of hard work to do.fear play ye done a great job.i love the colour of the girls room and I love the white makes the house look brighter. Can't wait to see the finish. Take care ❤❤
I see Hairy got his hair cut! Very handsome! I wanted to comment under the Easter vlog but comments are turned off!! Love you all and glad you're back!
You all did an amazing job this the plastering!!!! The girls room looks great, I love the paint colour now you can see it properly with the lights on. Did you sell the kitchen table & furniture that don’t fit at this house? Thank you Malinda, I’m loving these renovating/moving videos😊
Will you be painting the living area and your bedroom area even if you just painted it white would look nice the wallpaper makes it feel very dark. How do the children feel about coming back to the new old house?
I've missed a bit how did you find out your old house was available to rent again ? Or have You bought it ? But you'll all be more happy back at this house , yes it's small but youve some amazing memories in this house and it must of meant to be that your back there. 😊
you done so well getting has much you can from each room , and great your son got a room to study in .i have twin boys myself who doing the same has him trying to get into uni, i seen a comment below asking you if he paying for the room !! i thought 'what in the world ' ,my sons never need to pay but if they get jobs i would be expecting them to help out with bills and food but only a bit , i wouldn't answer those comments has one thing getting a bit of positive vibes but another wanting to know personal stuff .you doing the best you can with the space and looking grand ,they have nice rooms and plenty toys /food so you doing awesome ,
Is there not anymore room available then before that the rooms dont have to each have so many kids per room.kaitlyn and andrew arent there anymore so they want to be so crowded again.but in glad ur back again
you have done a lot of work. It's coming along well. I hope you are able to save a fair bit moving back to this place. Are you able to stay long? or could you have to move at short notice? I hope not after the work you have put in. Its looking good.
Hi everyone I haven’t been able to watch any videos for a while as I have been to poorly but now that I can I don’t know what is happening can someone please update me on why this wonderful family have moved back into their old home have they bought it or renting it Thank you so much ❤
The dining room has a door doesn’t it? Why not put the boys in the dining room and take one of the bedrooms? It’s smart to turn the front room or dining into a bedroom.
Nice that the rooms are getting refreshed. Surely the younger boys will soon be beyond plastic toys, but then their clothing is bulkier. Hope no girlfriend moving in with Steven. For adult privacy I might think parents would take Steven’s room.
Stephen needs space to study, he is extremely smart and wants to get a high atar ( number to get into university) so we feel this is everyone's best option.
@@Yestheyareallours Anyone doing the final year of high school needs a room to themselves. It is a demanding time for them, and to really succeed they do need some peace and quiet to study.
Hi guys love want you are doing I would have got rid of that wallpaper in your room and the other room plus you would have been better off making the front room you bedroom so you could close it off and only have one door at the front And the other room your lounge because the kids are at school all day so it would be easier for you to watch the little one while doing washing and cooking But the reason I am sending you a message reach out to a garden guy on You Tube to come and do your yard for free they just film them doing and you don’t have to kill your self doing it the Guy I just watched is Earth Trim Gardens he in in Victoria ❤
The reason we aren't in the front lounge is that's were the heater/ AC are and it gets really hot/ cold in there. Also you can't close the doors to any room or they don't get heat/ AC. I would prefer it that way round.
Kaitlyn is in university which in Australia is paid by our government then you get a small deduction once you earn over a certain amount in your pay. Andrew is in a trade.
They are… and dad a great example as he was learning not too long ago. Gosh. Has it completely escaped you how much space devoted to desks and books over the years.
You are doing a wonderful job getting back to the basics in times of need.

Missed seeing the old house! It’s so lovely and cosy ❤ hope the move went smoothly
I was just watching an old blog from 7 years ago on a grocery haul and thought to myself it would be interesting to put everything from the receipt into the online Cole’s cart and see what the price difference is now !!
The set up is looking really good. You are both great parents and always make things work, no matter the circumstances. Much love ❤.
I feel nostalgic seeing you back in your old house. ❤ Thank you for sharing your family with us.

You have a great way of making everything fit well. Thank you for the walk through.
If you end up owning this house it has great add on potential out the back. I remember the kids always playing in the backyard here!
Your organising is clever? Great work with the reno. Thanks for sharing.
Love seeing you back in old house it's a nice place and hopefully will save money
Oh it will be lovely when you are all in the house again the kids can play safely in the garden they have got space to play football run round silly you've done a lot to the house painting it a fjxing it I wish uou sll have a happy time in uour house if walls vould talk I bet they would tell a pretty tale love fran ❤xxxxx
Ikea has cheap nice rugs for about $100. Plush carpet type, would keep the warmth in.
Great idea to split the bottom bunk
Hi to everyone I'm glad ye are back videoing again.the house is comming on lovely.ye had a lot of hard work to do.fear play ye done a great job.i love the colour of the girls room and I love the white makes the house look brighter. Can't wait to see the finish. Take care ❤❤
The house is looking lighter and brighter
It so nice to see the family again
I see Hairy got his hair cut! Very handsome! I wanted to comment under the Easter vlog but comments are turned off!! Love you all and glad you're back!
UA-cam has turned them off, not sure why.
You all did an amazing job this the plastering!!!!
The girls room looks great, I love the paint colour now you can see it properly with the lights on.
Did you sell the kitchen table & furniture that don’t fit at this house?
Thank you Malinda, I’m loving these renovating/moving videos😊
Will you be painting the living area and your bedroom area even if you just painted it white would look nice the wallpaper makes it feel very dark.
How do the children feel about coming back to the new old house?
A good dishwasher that isn’t expensive if you are interested is Beko they are similar on inside to Bosch. But more value for money.
The house is coming nice always liked this house and nice big garden
I so admire and envy your energy level 😊
Hope you enjoying being back at the old house ❤ ! Yous have a done a great job.
How exciting. I love watching these types of videos
The fam was kind, giving us the update!
Could a table fit in the boys rooms instead of separate desks. With a bookcase. In the middle of the room for the 4 boys? Like in the library.
loved the tour!!!
Looks good! All coming together nicely! Are the kids excited to be moving back ? ❤
I've missed a bit how did you find out your old house was available to rent again ? Or have You bought it ? But you'll all be more happy back at this house , yes it's small but youve some amazing memories in this house and it must of meant to be that your back there. 😊
It’s owned by family
It was said a few vlogs ago. It's rented through a family member. House was meant to be knocked down and hasn't so moving back in
The house belongs to a family member who could not find anyone to develop the property which is the reason they had to move
It was owned by a family member. I imagine thy never moved back in or they have inherited it
A family member owns it and is renting it to them
Great House Tour 🥰🥰 🇬🇧
Everything will be all nice and fresh and ready to move in soon.
Your doing a brilliant job x
you done so well getting has much you can from each room , and great your son got a room to study in .i have twin boys myself who doing the same has him trying to get into uni, i seen a comment below asking you if he paying for the room !! i thought 'what in the world ' ,my sons never need to pay but if they get jobs i would be expecting them to help out with bills and food but only a bit , i wouldn't answer those comments has one thing getting a bit of positive vibes but another wanting to know personal stuff .you doing the best you can with the space and looking grand ,they have nice rooms and plenty toys /food so you doing awesome ,
Maybe condense their toys even more and pop their closets in that living area as the bedrooms seem really cluttered with all the bookcase furniture.
Exciting times ahead for you all😊😊xx❤️❤️❤️🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🌺🦋🌺🦋🏠🏠
The bathroom definitely needs updating for the amount of people in the house
It does the job! Still functions
My mom had 13 kids we grew up with one bathroom. We managed very well.
Is there not anymore room available then before that the rooms dont have to each have so many kids per room.kaitlyn and andrew arent there anymore so they want to be so crowded again.but in glad ur back again

The dining room has a door doesn’t it? Why not put the boys in the dining room and take one of the bedrooms? It’s smart to turn the front room or dining into a bedroom.
Love the videos,it’s a shame all the girls are squeezed into one room with limited access to toys etc maybe a good declutter of plastic toys is needed
Heyyyy did caitlin want to move out ... also just wondered why Tyler has his own room .. xxxxxxxx
Tyler isn't getting his own room
Steven is getting his own room
It’s STEVEN……Steven is getting his own room.
I thought this house was being demolished and you were building?
I’m sorry I missed the reason your back here
I thought they were tearing it down
So how many boys to that one room..
Is steven payining for his own room
that a bit personal isn't ! ,would you like to tell all us how many sharing your rooms and if any one payiing you , come on now
Why would he be paying for a room in his family home? He is a minor and still goes to school.
Nice that the rooms are getting refreshed.
Surely the younger boys will soon be beyond plastic toys, but then their clothing is bulkier. Hope no girlfriend moving in with Steven. For adult privacy I might think parents would take Steven’s room.
Stephen needs space to study, he is extremely smart and wants to get a high atar ( number to get into university) so we feel this is everyone's best option.
Hope he gets what he wants & needs to go to Uni. He seems a nice lad.
I think you have set it up brilliantly. Steven is the oldest still living at home so it makes sense to give him his own room

Hi guys love want you are doing I would have got rid of that wallpaper in your room and the other room plus you would have been better off making the front room you bedroom so you could close it off and only have one door at the front
And the other room your lounge because the kids are at school all day so it would be easier for you to watch the little one while doing washing and cooking
But the reason I am sending you a message reach out to a garden guy on You Tube to come and do your yard for free they just film them doing and you don’t have to kill your self doing it the Guy I just watched is Earth Trim Gardens he in in Victoria ❤

Why did you want to move back to a smaller house
Save money and more security in renting as it belongs to a family member
They must be buying because who owned it before them did nothing but let it sit there house and yard.
You move alot
Not really, they were in the now old house for almost three years
Is there a reason you spend thousands of dollars on toys for gifts instead of helping your older kids get into a trade? Or maybe you do.
Kaitlyn is in university which in Australia is paid by our government then you get a small deduction once you earn over a certain amount in your pay. Andrew is in a trade.
@@Yestheyareallours Great news !
They are… and dad a great example as he was learning not too long ago. Gosh. Has it completely escaped you how much space devoted to desks and books over the years.
Geez that’s not nice! They help all of their kids regardless
Don’t you mean HECS FEE?
