Congratulations on stepping out and going on this PT journey. You have no clue how healthy this is for your emotional life and as a mom to have the time to pamper and refresh yourself during Motherhood. I spent so many years dreaming and waiting for the right time. Thanks for taking us along for the journey as you grow more and more comfortable having "ME" time to just pamper yourself. Many times good things we do not expect is birth out of the bad. Enjoy and Lets Gooooooooo!
Omg thank you for this!! Yes, you're so right. As mothers, we need this, but we don't realize how much we need it. Just going out for this first video was so relaxing for me! I was shocked!! Thank you so much for your support and for watching. You're so sweet! 😊❤️
@@SheCanDoAllThings Thank you for being here. There is nothing like a visual for those afraid to step out to pattern themselves by. Many will be blessed just watching and others will soar and have no regrets. I am so glad to be here.
I came upon your channel after watching "winterisblu". When I saw your van and your smile I thought "She looks like Mateo" and why is she in his van?! And by jolly, you're his sister. Have fun and do all the things.
I’m so glad Astro is staying in the family. And Rochelle, your channel is growing so well 😊 Looking forward to watching you continue to heal, enjoy vanlife, and do all of the things! ❤
I’m a 38 year old divorcee that has followed your baby bro since he had like 300 followers. It was so calming watching Mateo escape and living vicariously through his adventures. As a mama myself I totally get the idea of needing me time. I just subscribed and look forward to following your journey sis!
Oh yes!!! Thank you!! Im so thankful for the opportunity to do this, especially being a single mom. I never thought I would be able to do this honestly. But God has made a way!! Thanks so much for watching ❤️ 😊
Im new here, but when I saw the van I was like that looks like Lars and Matteo old van. When I read the comments, I found out you're his sister. Y'all have the same sweet spirit and talk the same with clamness.
Yes sis, you got Astro all cleaned up. Yes you and your brother are one in a million. Love that you are making changes in your life for the better. Inner peace is so important. Can’t wait to see whatever comes next for you in this journey ❤
Hey Rochelle! You popped up on my UA-cam and one look I could tell you were Mateo’s sister! I separated from my husband almost 6 years ago, moved away alone and it’s been the best thing that’s ever happened to me, alone discovering ME! becoming a stronger, better woman and keeping Jesus Christ as my lord and savior. Having joy and being at peace alone is power!!!! Same as you I have kids but they are way older, so I wasn’t completely alone in my transition. Can’t wait to see your growth and journey in the astro van. Keep your head up Queen and know you are going to be just fine ❤
Aww, thank you so much for sharing that with me. Yes, I need this alone time, I need to heal so that I can be the best for them. I'm glad that you found peace after your separation! Thank you so much for your encouragement, and thanks for watching ❤️ God bless you!!
I'm so happy for you. My daughter did van life for a couple of years. It was so good for her mentally and physically. I wish you happiness, peace, and safety while on your healing journey.
I love this. I knew there was a connection with Mateo, the Astro and oddly the floor of the van. Love your content and footage. Peace on the healing with this life transition. Your off to a great start. Building your courage.⭐️🙏🏾
Hope you’re being safe out there van staying alone! I’m sending you positive thoughts. I’m sure you are getting a lot of exercise with long walks/hikes!
I love everything about this video!! Editing is top tier!!!! I’ve been following Mateo from the very beginning and I’m excited about following along your journey as well ❤
That black cherry Merlot is the best candle. ❤ i really love this vlog, thank you for sharing your vulnerability and good for you to do alone time to heal and having peace, that’s something money can’t buy ❤❤❤
I've been watching Mateo for sometime now and I know you guys are brother and sister. I have to say that he is such a kind soul and I see that in you as well. I don't know if your mom is still around. I lost mine last Christmas. She too like you loved Christmas and mainly it was because of the lights and the giving. Unfortunately I lost her to a really bad battle with cancer. But I was gonna say you and Mateo must have gotten it from your mom. That down to earth free spirit. I think this is good for you. To be able to do these things while the kids are away and safe. Moments like this really helps a person find themselves on a deeper level. I don't know where you are but my God it's so green there! It reminds me of Georgia or Florida or even North Carolina. It's so beautiful. It makes me miss the south. I love the lights in the van they look cool too. Nice n groovy. Can't wait to see you fix the astro up the way you want it. I think it will be fun to watch! Oh also think you can get a wifi booster to put on the van and help with internet connection. Might look on Amazon or ebay. Have a good night hope you slept lol
Hey there!! I'm so sorry to hear about your mom, I can't say I know what that feels like, but I can put myself in your shoes. We almost lost our mom a couple of years ago due to illness and were scared to death. I'm so sorry for your loss. Thank you so much for the compliment. Yes, we do get it from her for sure. Yes, it's the best thing that could happen to me right now. When my kids go to spend time with their dad, I'm alone and sad mostly. But omg, this got me right out of that sadness. Thank God! Thank you so much for taking the time to watch and for your support. I can't wait to get this van built up and make it my own. Haha! Part 2 is coming Sunday, and you will definitely get to see how my first night turned out. 😊❤️
I don't know, I think Mateo is still going to use that name for something else. I'm not sure, though, but I'll let me keep that for yall, and I'll think of something new😊❤️
I love this for you Rochelle, everyone deserves some me time. Nature will definitely heal you if you allow yourself to relax and enjoy the ride. I’m here for you doing van life!
Good for you! Get reacquainted with yourself. Enjoying being by yourself does not mean you miss the kids any less. I think a sturdy fold down table/shelf on the inside of the back door would be great, or one on each door.
Yes!! I miss them all the same, most definitely, but it's much better spending that time doing something that my heart desires than just sitting alone without them. Yes!! That's exactly what I'm going to do, that's a perfect spot for a little table. Thank you so much for watching ❤️ 😊
I’m so excited for you. I think this is great for your soul the more and more you do it. Things will go smoother. Be safe out there. Looking forward to more videos.❤❤
@@SheCanDoAllThings yes I enjoy your video just big fan of Matteo and I love love the Astro Van I am Getting One For My Build but the trying to get the Cargo Type to Build Out For My Journey Sending Positive Energy And Positive Vibes Sending Prayers and Support GOD GOT YOU BE BLESSED ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
@@SheCanDoAllThings Yes As A Mother and a Glamma teenage mom I am taking back what I miss out on when I saw you you on the swing it brings back so much memories
Yay! Love that Astro is still a part of the family. I see that Mateo was just at the same camp place in his video, were you able to meet up? Hope to see you both together. Great video
Sooooo good to see Astro back in action and excited to go along with you on your adventure. I'm an Astronaut... Mateo is an awesome person so I know you've got good genes😃. I'm a divorced mom too... Wishing you the absolute best on your journey💕
You have inspired so many of us moms, who lose ourself in motherhood:) it's obviously great being a mom, but nice to remember who we were before ❤ Your channel is a new look on van life, while maintaining a home, and I am here for it!!❤
Omg!! Yes!! This is exactly what I want other mothers to see! That you can still have your identity! It's really hard to separate the two, and I'm still learning. But each time I go on an adventure, I find a little more of myself, and I feel better as a mother for it. Thank you so much for being here on this journey with me!😊❤️
Hi 👋 I think that is so COOL!!! I am in the process of finding a van for my van-life journey… I’m happy for you and I hope you enjoy your trip! Thanks for sharing and stay safe and ENJOY ❤
I've been following you since Mateo gave Astro to you. I 'm so gload he kept him in the family. I found his channel quite by accident, and it really lifts my spirits, just like yours does. I know you will enjoy your adventures in Astro, just like Mateo did. All the love from RI.
Hello! I'm so glad you're doing van life. Even if it's part time. I have enjoyed Mateo's journey and I'm sure I will enjoy yours. I'm definitely subscribing. I love nomad and van life videos. I suffer from chronic illness. So I watch a lot of these types of videos. You're a welcomed addition to that. This is my dream to do this. But for now watching others do it. Is comforting. If it is God's will I may be able to do it one day. I'm so glad you're taking this journey. I will be there for the ride. God's peace and blessings over your life.
Aww thank you so much for being here! I'm so sorry about your illness, I do pray that you would be able to follow your dreams one day and that God would make a way out of no way! Thank you so much for watching and subscribing 😊❤️
I've been following you brother and accidentally came across you and realized who you were. I wish I lived closer. It would be amazing to have folks like y'all in my life. So open for adventure and new life❤❤❤
Have been faithfully following Mateo, Lars and "Astro" in their van life adventures, and still following the new journey with his new van gossimer..... But i can now say that, I'M AN ASTRONAUT ONCE AGAIN!!!, so glad to see that Astro is back in service, and with Mateo's sister, an added treat..... Happy to be following you on your adventures as well.
I literally just watched part 2 first because it was on my timeline when I got on 😅😂.. But I’ve got to say that I admire you for getting back to yourself after your divorce.. I feel like I lost myself after my divorce a few years back and when I decided to get myself back on track, I was diagnosed with an incurable blood cancer that almost took my life before I was diagnosed.. But God 🙌🏽.. We have to be thankful for the smallest things and I can see that you are!!!!❣️ I wish you the best on your journeys!!!!❣️
Oh wow!! Im so glad you made it through that by God's grace!! Yes, this divorce almost took me out, but God! I'm starting over, and he is allowing me to learn and grow from this experience. Thank you so much for being here!! 😊
"Go Rochelle!" Lol, I too, have been rocking with Mateo since he began "WinterIsBlu". I look forward to your adventures. And yes, death after divorce means New Life. "You Can Do All things with Jesus!!! You, along with Mateo, will be in my prayers. Enjoy discovering You Time.
This makes me smile so BIG! You’ll get the hang of it in no time. I love that Astro stayed in the family. I do believe this is going to be so helpful for you too. ❤️
I am so excited to see you and Astro enjoying some rest and relaxation! You have the same positivity and beautiful smile as Mateo. I am excited to see your channel grow and prosper. Maybe you and Mateo share a weekend and do a video together!! Blessings to you.
I'm happy for you. You seem like a hard worker and I know you will enjoy your time out in nature. I'm here for whatever Journeys you take. Have an awesome day.
New subscriber. So excited I found you. Found your brother 2 weeks ago. Y’all are both such a blessing and an inspiration. Love your sweet and gentle spirit. God Bless
Congregation 🎉new subscriber i came to see you're journey your brother has inspired my husband and i start end of June. Safe Travels peace and positive energy 💜
I’m so happy for you,when my children were children it was so difficult for me to be away from them for any length of time as well, but you deserve some time to yourself enjoy it you will never regret it❤ I hope to see you soon out there I’m right behind ya 😊
Awe girl , you are doing it all. Iam so happy for you. I wish I was brave enough to do something like that. I love the outdoors but I’m also scared of it. My Grandma always said the same thing that’s there in the daytime is there at dark. But for some reason it’s just a little scary.Make sure Astro is locked up when your sleeping. Any way Thank you so much for taking us with you. God Bless. Sending love from Robertsdale Alabama, Chrissie ♥️🙏
Hi Chrissie!!! Yes, it's definitely scary, but I know it'll get easier as I go along, and it was such a freeing feeling for me. I'm so thankful to be able to do this!! God bless you!! Thank you so much for always supporting me!
I think it's great that you're sharing your journey here on this blog with your kids being able to see years from now what you were going through and maybe if they are having any challenges dealing with the divorce situation it will help them heal too
My heart kind of skipped a beat when I saw the Astro. It’s funny how Astro became a third character in the series of Winterisblu!! So happy to see you are carrying on.
In another van life video I saw how a long extra duty strip of magnet was used to cover the top of the hatch where the rain water comes in through. You just lay it over the groove between hatch door and roof. Seems older Astros have this issue, but the thick strip of magnet does the job. You can just lay it over the roof when not in rainy weather. Nice to see you now in Mateo’s blue van ❤❤❤❤
Love the freedom to swing. I am also just recently divorced and about to be full time vanlifer in my Honda Element. It's scary at first, but there are so many places to explore. Enjoy your freedom and tranquility between your kids. :)
So happy to see you in the Astro! You are so brave. Your brother, Mateo is an awesome human being! I'm sure you are, too! Be safe and definitely here to support. Peace‼️
Yes!!! I've never done it before, besides cooking out on a grill, but this was a completely new experience for me. The food even seemed to taste better, lol 😆
Hi Rochelle, Lars sent me to your channel. I'm enjoying your channel so far being new to your channel. I do watch Lar's Dad's channel almost every day from Astro days to present and I'm looking forward to exploring more of your videos right now ! Congrats on your channel and being strong, confident and moving forward as a mother and enjoying everyday as yours and your family's day one day at a time and keeping your cup full first. :) You're inspiring me already !
Hi, I was wondering the same but Rochelle explained that she will only do travels in this van when her kids are spending time with their dad(ex husband)😊 take care.
Yay! Astro gets to stay in the family! I was soooo stoked when this was suggested for me and I THOUGHT I recognized Blu!!! Woohoo, congrats on your lifestyle change, girl. God is with you and thx for sharing your journey! Much love from Vancouver BC.😊🇨🇦♥️
Thanks for the smiles...thanks for being a pray er ...we re almost wrapped on moms estate and now my husbs dad passed😮😊they were old and they're with the Lord so we can find comfort in that
Omg I'm sorry!!! Yes, they are definitely in a much better place, and that is comforting! I'm glad you're almost done, I know you'll be relieved when it's finally over. God bless you. Thanks so much for keeping me updated!😊❤️
You are doing the darn thing! Good for you!! I’m so proud of you!! I agree that this is going to be a great way for you to rest, relax, and heal! Have a wonderful time!! ❤
I came here after watching Mateo's latest video; I love the filming style; however, I can't help thinking about jazzing up the name of Astro to make it more personal, like Miss Astro, ha, ha. I'm excited for the many adventures it will bring you!
@@SheCanDoAllThings You are so very welcome; I am excited for the wisdom you will continuously share. 💎 You turned Astro out with the light effects. 🎉 ☺️
You both seem to cook well and have similarities with y’all’s cooking!! It’s a family tradition!! Love it. Just found your channel and I’m here for it.

You are welcome! Thank you 😊
I love it 😊. Astro is back on the road again. I'm sure Mateo is so proud. Looking forward to more adventures 😊. That's a good idea to give self love ❤
Yes!! Im so glad I get to do this. It gets me out, and the astro gets to get out as well. If not, it would just be sitting in the yard.
So glad that Mateo didn't sell the astro! It is going to be great following you along. Enjoying your content! Be safe! Have safe travels!
Thank you so much Mary!!! Im so glad I get to do this! 😊❤️

Therapy Van ❤
Yes definitely!!! Thanks so much for watching ❤️ 😊
I literally just watched part 2 first because it was on my timeline when I got on 😅😂.. But I’ve got to say that I admire you for getting back to yourself after your divorce.. I feel like I lost myself after my divorce a few years back and when I decided to get myself back on track, I was diagnosed with an incurable blood cancer that almost took my life before I was diagnosed.. But God 🙌🏽.. We have to be thankful for the smallest things and I can see that you are!!!!❣️ I wish you the best on your journeys!!!!❣️
Oh wow!! Im so glad you made it through that by God's grace!! Yes, this divorce almost took me out, but God! I'm starting over, and he is allowing me to learn and grow from this experience. Thank you so much for being here!! 😊
Thank You!!!!❣️❤️
Rochelle, I am so happy for you. You can enjoy nature more and the sounds of the wilderness can help you heal. I'm excited to follow you! ❤
Yay!! Yes i can't believe I get to take you guys with me!! Thank you so much Karen!! ❤️
"Go Rochelle!" Lol, I too, have been rocking with Mateo since he began "WinterIsBlu". I look forward to your adventures. And yes, death after divorce means New Life. "You Can Do All things with Jesus!!! You, along with Mateo, will be in my prayers. Enjoy discovering You Time.
Hey!!! Im happy you found me!! Yes with him j can do all things!! Thank you so much for watching ❤️ 😊

I am so excited to see you and Astro enjoying some rest and relaxation! You have the same positivity and beautiful smile as Mateo. I am excited to see your channel grow and prosper. Maybe you and Mateo share a weekend and do a video together!! Blessings to you.

👠🚌👠
Hey!! Aww thank you so much 😊 ❤️
Awe girl , you are doing it all. Iam so happy for you. I wish I was brave enough to do something like that. I love the outdoors but I’m also scared of it. My Grandma always said the same thing that’s there in the daytime is there at dark. But for some reason it’s just a little scary.Make sure Astro is locked up when your sleeping. Any way Thank you so much for taking us with you. God Bless. Sending love from Robertsdale Alabama, Chrissie ♥️🙏
Hi Chrissie!!! Yes, it's definitely scary, but I know it'll get easier as I go along, and it was such a freeing feeling for me. I'm so thankful to be able to do this!!
God bless you!! Thank you so much for always supporting me!
I think it's great that you're sharing your journey here on this blog with your kids being able to see years from now what you were going through and maybe if they are having any challenges dealing with the divorce situation it will help them heal too
Aww yes!! Im so honored to be able to share this part of my life with you all! Thank you so much for watching ☺️❤️
This is great! It’s nice seeing good use of the Astro. I can only imagine how nice it feels to experience this solo. 😊
Yes!!!! It's amazing. I can't believe I'm even having the opportunity to do this!! Thanks so much for watching ❤️
I love a quiet chill evening. Self care is the best. enjoy those breaks in the van.
Yes I love it!! It's so rejuvenating! Thanks so much for watching ❤️ 😊
Hey there beautiful friend ❤❤❤omg this is amazing yayyyyyyy
Yay!! Thanks love 😘
My heart kind of skipped a beat when I saw the Astro. It’s funny how Astro became a third character in the series of Winterisblu!! So happy to see you are carrying on.
Yes!!! Im so glad to be able to use Astro!! Thank you so much for watching ☺️ ❤️
GREETINGS FROM ST.LOUIS
In another van life video I saw how a long extra duty strip of magnet was used to cover the top of the hatch where the rain water comes in through. You just lay it over the groove between hatch door and roof. Seems older Astros have this issue, but the thick strip of magnet does the job. You can just lay it over the roof when not in rainy weather. Nice to see you now in Mateo’s blue van ❤❤❤❤
Hey there!! Yes, that is a really good idea, thank you!! 😊 I'll have to look for one
Love the freedom to swing. I am also just recently divorced and about to be full time vanlifer in my Honda Element. It's scary at first, but there are so many places to explore. Enjoy your freedom and tranquility between your kids. :)
Aww, thank you!! Im so sorry about your divorce, but I hope you will fulfill your desires with van life for sure!!
Great advice
So happy to see you in the Astro! You are so brave. Your brother, Mateo is an awesome human being! I'm sure you are, too! Be safe and definitely here to support. Peace‼️
Aww thank you so much for being here! 😊❤️
Cooking and eating outside is such a wondeful way to have a meal and relax!
Yes!!! I've never done it before, besides cooking out on a grill, but this was a completely new experience for me. The food even seemed to taste better, lol 😆

Love you are taking some time for yourself I'm just wondering about your kiddos? Will Astro accommodate some trips with kids?

You have the most infectious smile. I love your videos, thanks for sharing a small part of your life with us.
Hi, I was wondering the same but Rochelle explained that she will only do travels in this van when her kids are spending time with their dad(ex husband)😊 take care.
