Amazing transformation! I’m so encouraged by your videos. We are expecting our 6th baby and live in a 120 year old small farmhouse in MN on a 3 acre hobby farm (100% paid for!). Your videos give me so many ideas on how I can can make our small house work for our growing, homeschool family. When I start to feel discontentment creeping into my heart I go back to watching your videos…your joy and contentment are contagious!😁🤍🤗
Ohhhhh soooo funny....I tell you, I'm 71 now and if I could live my life again I would have had 20 children...I was blessed with 3, I lost 2 at birth...but Lord I would have loved to have all those beautiful babies.... God bless you all and yours ❤
Anytime I rearrange anything its a mess before I get done, & there's only 2 of us, so I can't imagine doing it for a house full. Moving that King mattress was hilarious.
Ok, that was funny .. thanks for the morning laugh... I love your husband's positive attitude... The best thing about rearranging is going through stuff and getting rid of whatever you don't need or use.
I’m so impressed how the family works together everyone helping each other. The older kids helped a little or kids. I see a lot of love. My favorite part was when you’re trying to get that big mattress down the stairs that was quite comical. What a lovely family!
That was exactly like someone giving birth... push, counter pressure, just a little at a time, some assistance to turn it the right way... 🤣 You guys did a great job persevering, it is always such a huge job to clear out kid spaces! The best piece of hope you gave all of us moms was that Bella used to be a pack rat, but now she is a minimalist. Hallelujah! 😉
Wow, I love your new bedroom - the quilt is really beautiful! It was so entertaining watching Jason and the children move the mattress downstairs. What I really loved was seeing everyone working together so well. What a beautiful family!
Great job moving that king size mattress and most all the beds and bedrooms. James is speaking so clearly as a big boy now! Everyone pitched in so well.
Actually moving bed spaces is like moving totally, ugh You are right worse before better but soooo exited for you to have a real big bedroom and kids each to have their own spaces!
It looks great. A lot of hard work moving everyone around but so worth it. Have you thought about getting one of the taller bed frames for your bed? It would give you a bunch more room to store things in baskets under the bed
WOW!!!! I just love watching your family's videos!!!! They are so encouraging and uplifting! Everyone is so intelligent and creative! I am in awe! Your children are so very helpful! Lots of children need to tune in to watch your children in action It may motivate the.!!!!🙂❤❤❤
I’m so glad you recorded all this and shared it! I was giggling like crazy through the whole mattress debacle 🤣 that is EXACTLY how my husband would have approached the challenge, literally down to the ratchet straps being too far away 😂 Just awesome. I love watching your channel and it’s so special “meeting” another Christian family with very similar values! We have 4 kids + 1 in the oven and we homeschool and homestead and all the things. And the projects….. SO many projects. 😂 All the love from Wisconsin! Bless you all!
We have 11 children & I can't tell you how many times we have moved around the children into different rooms every time either a new baby was born or someone was moving out! 😂
I love how excited he was about the challenge of getting the mattress down 😂 my husband doesn’t have the patience. But I know you’re excited to have a regular room and how sweet telling you to go rest.. There’s always a little chaos before the calm. I have 5 kids so I can only imagine how stressful that was.
I am so happy for you all! I bet you, Julie, feel so much better having that extra space. And I bet the children are enjoying more space, too. This had to be a challenging few years, but you all have done it with such grace. God bless you all so much 💖
You are the bravest soul that I know with that many children in that confined space and trying to work around them being under foot I’ll give you kudos and then some
Bummer I wrote email to lost it so trying to rewrite you so blessed home is looking great hubby great job thanks your. You need see rest look after yourself bub be here love to you all Jason well Done love Kathy from Australia 🇦🇺
Wow it’s looking great! We just moved two kids rooms and it was a two day process so I can’t imagine 10 kids! We are blessed with 5 kiddos and I’ve really enjoyed your progress on the property and encouragement. You have a beautiful family! Can’t wait to see your sweet new baby on the video too!
You've got to tear it all apart - to put it back together... LOVE ❤️ how everyone works together and helps each other, you are a truly Blessed Family...
So happy for you all!! I laughed during the king mattress move. Your new bedroom is gorgeous. James was so proud!! I remember when he was the baby!! Many blessings always, Laura Chambers 😊❤
Elsie I love that you said the video should be about neat and tidy. How precious and getting all your children to cooperate was unbelievable. Your mom is amazing to take care of all of you in a small space but that small space keeps you connected and you care about each other more than those that have their own bedrooms far away from each other.
Good job Kreke Family it takes a group effort!! So exciting !! So glad you got help painting the inside!! Bless them !! I've been going through stuff big time, stuff from 25 years ago finally, one box at a time I say!! . That's what I love about you, the key is having a home for everything!! Gliding chair with ottoman is wonderful I had one for my last 2 boys and it was luxury!! You had a vision and so its finally come together and everything is lovely!! Good job boys and girls ❤
I've never seen your channel and this was a doozies. All I can say is I couldnt handle the noise in the video. And I can't imagine living with it. I had only 2 boys. I'm 78 now so that says something about my noise tolerance. What a family you have! Blessings to all.
I am truly enjoying your videos, my first one was watching you and your daughter making meals and freezing them (as in 5# of chicken,one meal) with veggies and rice or whatever. Omg unbelievable and you make it sooo easy to look at…as in doesn’t everyone make 3 meals a day for 9 or 10 or 11…I’m exhausted just watching but love them.
Haha my husband is the same way! He’s like was that a challenge? Are you saying I can’t do it? Well I’ll show you I can do it!! Wow that was a big project! The boys bunks are neat with all the shelves! I’m glad the girls have their own space now too! Hope the closets won’t take too long to finish so you can store everything you want to in them and free up more space!!
I so enjoyed this video. It reminded me of my own kids and our family projects. We changed rooms a lot too. I had 10 kids. 17 years between oldest and youngest. Great fun!! 🥰
Chaos to organization? Still looks like chaos to me! Just me and my dog in a 850 square foot apartment, and it still feels a little cramped. 11 people in a tiny home? Sure, you got the Great outdoors, but when it's bad weather.... Well, to each their own, I guess.
Oh my goodness, I could feel the overwhelm just watching this whole process! You've given me the motivation, though, to tackle my kid's rooms soon, which is a task I've been pushing off!
I have a king size bed so I know the fun of moving one. The next time I get a new mattress I will get two twins! You will be happy with the new bedroom. Take care❤
I love your bedroom! The colors and decor are great! I wish you had a bed frame for your bed because I am sure it is hard for you to get in and out of bed.😄❤👍
Wow ! what a great job and amount of work you did ! Congrats ! you all rock. It is going to be so much better and comfy ! Now, time to rest a bit....Looking forward to seeing the "official video" (after chaos:))
WOW! where there is a will there is a way. Way to go Family! I thought we had been out growing our home we have a family of 4 and 1500 ft thank you for sharing that life is and will work where there is a way. Thank you for the reminder to be content. New sub here Your family is sweet! A family that works together what a great family
That's an intense job. I'm one of 12 kids and I remember one time switching the boys and girls room and it was a mess. We also painted in between there as well. Then another time we split the girls into 2 rooms. Yikes. It makes a mess but it's so much better after
Just getting to this now. Been a busy work week. Looks like you figured out a good “flow” re: the house updates. The nuanced details will come together as you live in it longer. I’m sure you’ll be pleased with the function and the form before you know it. But there’s always a tad of chaos with any update. We need to do a kitchen update/facelift. But I have to wait until I’m in a good emotional place to have patience for the type of lifestyle adaptations that come along with that. I told my husband let’s plan on starting in spring. I always have more physical and emotional energy during that season. Lol. 💛💛💛
Julie and Jason you are so wonderful you make me feel like family especially fighting my Cancer and Chemo you are blessing to me Your house is going be so beautiful You are a joy your beautiful Family I love watching you all grow together can’t wait to you have the new baby I so excited for you all God bless you all 🙏🏻✝️☮️♋️❤️🩹🎃🍁
So much work for you and your family, but great fun to watch from the comfort of my couch and coffee. Speaking of coffee, thanks for arranging the discount code. I've already ordered two blends from Shepherd's Crook Coffee.
Congratulations on the birth of your mattress!
LOL! Thank you!!
Hilarious!!
Bahahahha. This was so funny after watching the video 🤣🤣🤣
Teamwork makes the dream work 👍🏻
That is funny 😂
Amazing transformation! I’m so encouraged by your videos. We are expecting our 6th baby and live in a 120 year old small farmhouse in MN on a 3 acre hobby farm (100% paid for!).

Aww thank you! And congratulations!!
Ohh wow🎉. Talk about living the dream ❤
Every child should have a great family like this one! Love the daddy’s go to attitude!❤️💕
Ohhhhh soooo funny....I tell you, I'm 71 now and if I could live my life again I would have had 20 children...I was blessed with 3, I lost 2 at birth...but Lord I would have loved to have all those beautiful babies.... God bless you all and yours ❤

The best thing about rearranging is going through stuff and getting rid of whatever you don't need or use.
Yes! It’s a great excuse to clean out
I’m so impressed how the family works together everyone helping each other. The older kids helped a little or kids. I see a lot of love. My favorite part was when you’re trying to get that big mattress down the stairs that was quite comical. What a lovely family!
Reorganization is always like that! Mess before things get in order!! Your husband cracks me up!!! 😂
That was exactly like someone giving birth... push, counter pressure, just a little at a time, some assistance to turn it the right way... 🤣 You guys did a great job persevering, it is always such a huge job to clear out kid spaces! The best piece of hope you gave all of us moms was that Bella used to be a pack rat, but now she is a minimalist. Hallelujah! 😉
Haha yes! Bella gives hope to moms everywhere 😄
Wow, I love your new bedroom - the quilt is really beautiful! It was so entertaining watching Jason and the children move the mattress downstairs. What I really loved was seeing everyone working together so well. What a beautiful family!
Thanks Ana 🥰
Watching the mattress come out had me smiling. Looks like the craziness of our family.
Can I just say how amazingly cooperative the kids were during this wonderful transformation?? Great job Kreke’s!❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
The girls must be so delighted to be upstairs and have some space to craft or what not! Looks so good!
They love it!
House is looking good, girls did a great job on their room, they must be happy to be up in the loft., having the new bedroom changes things so much.
They love it 😄
You can buy a clear vinyl glass coating - just cut to fit, moisten, abd slide into place. Provides privacy and a 5% or so heat block
Thank you for sharing part of your life with your beautiful family with us. The love between you all is so inspiring. ❤️
It's all coming together. It takes time to change things. Sleep is wonderful!
Great job moving that king size mattress and most all the beds and bedrooms. James is speaking so clearly as a big boy now! Everyone pitched in so well.
I’m with Bella on the minimalism and also love organizing for maximum efficiency, Julie and Jason’s gifts, among many others.
Actually moving bed spaces is like moving totally, ugh
You are right worse before better but soooo exited for you to have a real big bedroom and kids each to have their own spaces!
It looks great. A lot of hard work moving everyone around but so worth it. Have you thought about getting one of the taller bed frames for your bed? It would give you a bunch more room to store things in baskets under the bed
I would get a loft bed thing going
Sooooo much can be stored in the “room” underneath but u can still sit up and have shelves on wall too
WOW!!!! I just love watching your family's videos!!!! They are so encouraging and uplifting! Everyone is so intelligent and creative! I am in awe! Your children are so very helpful! Lots of children need to tune in to watch your children in action It may motivate the.!!!!🙂❤❤❤
What your husband built over the curtains is beautiful!👏👏👏
James is so adorable!! 🥰
I’m so glad you recorded all this and shared it! I was giggling like crazy through the whole mattress debacle 🤣 that is EXACTLY how my husband would have approached the challenge, literally down to the ratchet straps being too far away 😂 Just awesome. I love watching your channel and it’s so special “meeting” another Christian family with very similar values! We have 4 kids + 1 in the oven and we homeschool and homestead and all the things. And the projects….. SO many projects. 😂
All the love from Wisconsin! Bless you all!
Sounds like our husbands would get along great 😆 Congratulations on baby #5. So exciting!
The Amazing Stretchy Tiny House! You all amaze me every time you show us how you fit everyone in. LOVE IT!
Haha that’s a great name for it
NICE! I'm sure that feels like a new house for everyone. Great transformation
I’m glad everything is coming together well. When James said Mommy you don’t have to do anything I bet you were thinking I wish LOL!
Haha yes I was!
I was the baby of 10, 6 boys and 4 girls. We were just like your family. So much fun and laughter. Mum was 42 when she had me. Love your videos.
Aww how wonderful! I love hearing those big family stories 🥰
Very nice accomplishment on getting your home in order!!
You are an inspiration!
We have 11 children & I can't tell you how many times we have moved around the children into different rooms every time either a new baby was born or someone was moving out! 😂
Sometimes it feels like playing that old Tetris game 😆
Same here! We have. 14 children!
Love watching you guys . Your cheerfulness and laughter brings me joy. 🥰
I love how excited he was about the challenge of getting the mattress down 😂 my husband doesn’t have the patience. But I know you’re excited to have a regular room and how sweet telling you to go rest.. There’s always a little chaos before the calm. I have 5 kids so I can only imagine how stressful that was.

God bless you all so much 💖
I only have four (now adult) kids, but i can so relate. I called reorganizing like this "controlled chaos."
You all inspire me, the world needs more souls like yours. Thanks for sharing with all of us ❤
You are the bravest soul that I know with that many children in that confined space and trying to work around them being under foot I’ll give you kudos and then some
so good to have some news. It is very beautiful jour new room.
Bummer I wrote email to lost it so trying to rewrite you so blessed home is looking great hubby great job thanks your. You need see rest look after yourself bub be here love to you all Jason well Done love Kathy from Australia 🇦🇺

Good job Kreke Family it takes a group effort!! So exciting !! So glad you got help painting the inside!! Bless them !!
I've been going through stuff big time, stuff from 25 years ago finally, one box at a time I say!! .
That's what I love about you, the key is having a home for everything!!
Gliding chair with ottoman is wonderful I had one for my last 2 boys and it was luxury!!
You had a vision and so its finally come together and everything is lovely!!
Good job boys and girls ❤
It feels so good to clean out and reorganize!
I've never seen your channel and this was a doozies. All I can say is I couldnt handle the noise in the video. And I can't imagine living with it. I had only 2 boys. I'm 78 now so that says something about my noise tolerance. What a family you have! Blessings to all.
Jason said he's like Mike Mulligan and Maryanne. 🤣 They birthed that mattress beautifully!
Looks like they’re all pretty excited to switch spaces
They were! 😄💕
It looks nice above the window
❤️ so cozy and nice 🙌🙌
Love the new room & porch: very beautiful! Just love how everyone ❤️ helps out, makes things easier. God bless you!
WoooHooooo now you can raise your bed off the floor and utilize that space.
Yes! We found a bed frame with drawers underneath
Wow……now that was lots of work. Good job,
Watching you guys move the mattress was hilarious! 😝
😆 I thought it was stuck for good
I am truly enjoying your videos, my first one was watching you and your daughter making meals and freezing them (as in 5# of chicken,one meal) with veggies and rice or whatever. Omg unbelievable and you make it sooo easy to look at…as in doesn’t everyone make 3 meals a day for 9 or 10 or 11…I’m exhausted just watching but love them.
Aww thanks! We’re glad to have you here in our “UA-cam family”
Haha my husband is the same way! He’s like was that a challenge? Are you saying I can’t do it? Well I’ll show you I can do it!! Wow that was a big project! The boys bunks are neat with all the shelves! I’m glad the girls have their own space now too!

I so enjoyed this video. It reminded me of my own kids and our family projects. We changed rooms a lot too. I had 10 kids. 17 years between oldest and youngest. Great fun!! 🥰
Y’all did a great job!!
I 💛 your curtain boxes!
Julie and Jason, your children are beautiful and are joyful workers.
Dad gave the 'here comes the ring of fire' warning lol
He knows the drill by now! ❤😂
Chaos to organization? Still looks like chaos to me! Just me and my dog in a 850 square foot apartment, and it still feels a little cramped. 11 people in a tiny home? Sure, you got the Great outdoors, but when it's bad weather.... Well, to each their own, I guess.
I love the determination! 😂
Gorgeous new room! Enjoy❤ I’d have voted not to move like Leo too 😂
love the teamwork!!! great job!
Way to go. It can be so hard to jump into that chaos but the end result it so worth it.
Julie can boot box go outside were your new front porch is near door so you have more room under the stairs
We did consider that, but putting on cold boots in the winter doesn’t sound too fun 😆
Julie you are amazing . Doing all this while pregnant . 👶🏻
I’m glad it’s done! 😆
Oh my goodness, I could feel the overwhelm just watching this whole process! You've given me the motivation, though, to tackle my kid's rooms soon, which is a task I've been pushing off!
You’ll be so glad you did 👏🏻👏🏻
Turned out so nice!!
Children are being children 😂❤❤❤❤
Amazing what you can do with a small space. Love it!
It’s good that you added onto your home. 500 square feet is too small for that many people.
I have a king size bed so I know the fun of moving one. The next time I get a new mattress I will get two twins! You will be happy with the new bedroom. Take care❤
That’s a good idea!!
New here! I hope you are doing well,! Kids cleaning up is a big help!❤❤
I love your bedroom! The colors and decor are great! I wish you had a bed frame for your bed because I am sure it is hard for you to get in and out of bed.😄❤👍
Thanks Karen! 😄
Questo video mi piace molto siete fantastici e simpatici vi adoro vi seguo sempre organizzazione

Your channel is being constantly hacked with messages like below !
what a job, good work to all
Mom...a little help! Hope this works well for you.❤
Shoe pockets work great for snow stuff. I hang a set under each coat hook set. Each kids gloves, hats, scarves and long socks go in their pockets.
Good idea!
Julie! You’re my hero!
What an adorable family!!❤
What fun! Lovely family!
First time viewer - what a lovely family you are! So much laughter during such a heavy task, and all joining in, tells a lot about you guys! 😊

Your room looks beautiful!
Team work makes the dream work. 😃
That's an intense job. I'm one of 12 kids and I remember one time switching the boys and girls room and it was a mess. We also painted in between there as well. Then another time we split the girls into 2 rooms. Yikes. It makes a mess but it's so much better after
It was chaos for sure! 🤪
Tiny house troubles: rearranging the rubriks cube.
Haha yes

You are Wonder Woman! How did you get this done so fast! It is wonderful!
Awesome job everyone
I’d put a second loft in the bunk room since the ceiling is so high. That would provide extra space
We have two sets of triple bunks in there. 😄
Great team work. Looks good. 😊😊
So much work for you and your family, but great fun to watch from the comfort of my couch and coffee. Speaking of coffee, thanks for arranging the discount code. I've already ordered two blends from Shepherd's Crook Coffee.
Yay! You’ll love it 😄
