Hello dear friends! Here is a glimpse of our crazy last four months remodeling our home and trying to get it ready before winter hits. I say it a lot in this video, but it was a TON of work! But so worth it :) We basically camped in the house for the last few months, but we are now cozy and just in the finish work stage. Have lots more videos already filmed, we are just in the editing stage right now. Cozy Christmas content coming too. Thank you for being so patient with our slow uploading these last few months. Have a wonderful weekend, talk soon.
Wow, that would have been quite the journey, moving and break downs and heat. Ive definitely been in a similar situation. I love that you were able to film through all the tiring and hard times. The house already looks amazing. Such hard workers . Shipping containers are our best friends too. Because a few of our kids don't handle changes well, we've always just fixed whats immediately broken and set their rooms up how they like and just moved right in. I'd so love to have gotten straight into renovating here but when I look at our huge projects we've completed already, some being completed now and list of soon projects, I know we'll get there . One thing I intended to do the week we moved in was paint over these horrible yellow , broken kitchen cupboards . I still haven't, we cook too many times a day here . I'm determined to do it though. Thank you for taking us along and showing what you've been up too. I missed you all so much my friends. I'm really glad you're settled in before winter . Love to you all sweethearts 🥰🥰
@@countrymousesfarmhouse497 I hope you can squeeze some time in to get those cabinets painted, it’s such a hard thing to do when you cook full time like we do! We just barely got our house finished enough for winter! As I type this we have snow dumping outside 🥶❄️😂 I always feel like I’m talking to a sister or kindred spirit when we get to chat, I miss or IG messaging. Lots of love to you all sweet friend!
Abby Jo! So wonderful to see you and your beautiful family! What a ride you have been on the past few months, thank you for taking us along for the ride. The house looks amazing already! Glad that you were able to get everything in order before the snow flew. Sending you a huge hug!
Welcome to Michigan!! I owned a home with the same wallpaper, carpet, counters and counter-top. I loved the look of the windows but they were the worst for keeping out the bitter cold that comes with our winters. Hot tip....make SURE you educate the entire family about the dangers of our great lakes, especially rip currents that take so many lives each year. Piers are especially dangerous...3-5 foot waves that slam into you every 2-3 seconds can be deadly. I've lived here my entire life. Michigan has it all but it can be a very dangerous place both on land (critters of the woods) and in the water. Personally I think every high school in the state should teach a mandatory course on how not to die while enjoying this beautiful place...lol. I wish you the very best!!👍👍👍
Thank you for the heads up 😊 we are very careful around water. But always good to be aware. And yes, the windows are very poor, we order all new heavy duty windows. 🙌
I subscribe to A Country Life. Jennifer talked about how she enjoys your channel. I thought i might also. So here I am enjoying your channel too. Amazing work you all are doing on your new home. Can't wait to see the more updates. Hugs
I'm so happy you are back with uploading! There was definitely a lot to be done. It was great to see you working together as a family (I always love that on your videos) and taking the time to rest, have fun and enjoy good food! 💕
Thank you for this video! You give me inspiration. I’m in Detroit Michigan and I will be purchasing my first Mobil home hopefully in a couple of weeks.
I am 43 years old. I grew up homeschooled and helped my parents build our homestead when I was a teenager. We still work on it as a family. Love it. My Mama has had a ringer type washer always in fact she has two that we put in the canning kitchen and used still till this day. Good luck on your new journey with your family.
Hello and thank you so much for sharing. I could watch remodels all day long. Brings back memories and inspiring all at the same time. Your voice is so soothing. I want to LEARN to live like this. I’ve been a nurse for almost 40 years and everything in my life is fast paced. Too fast. Looking forward to watching more. Thank you and God Bless.
🥰 I’m glad you enjoyed the video, living slow takes practice. I often say it not that slow living is SLOW it’s that you are taking time to live intentionally. It’s hard thing to do on our culture of fast pace, but you can do it ❤️ Start small.
You and your family have put so much energy into turning this house 🏠 into the home you want it to be - a true labour of love 💗! It’s beautiful to see everyone playing a part in the renovation, as well as having well-earned downtime enjoying the lake 🏊♀️. Thanks for sharing the journey with your viewers. It’s been so enjoyable seeing what you’ve been up to!
I am amazed at the your son’s construction skills at his age! Not many young people want to go into a trade to work with their hands. I think they have an awesome rhythm. I watched this with a full heart seeing it come together
We sold our house in Nampa Idaho a few yrs ago and bought 5 acres in ky, that trip was a adventure for us too.... our totally loaded (and pulling my husband's jeep also) penske truck broke down in rush hour on a 2 lane bridge! My husband and son were stuck and he called me crying (I was ahead a few minutes) luckily penskee fixed it and got us a nice hotel for the night. We eventually made it there but ended up not liking ky at all or the people, so we sold and we just closed on a house on 5 acres in Florida lol, I love it so much more. We are gypsy souls we love to move and try new things. Idaho was my absolute favorite place ever, we have lived all over but idaho was the only place that felt like home, but it really went down hill the last 5 yrs after the California boom. Makes me sad. Loving your videos very relaxing and inspiring. Our new home is a 5 bedroom 3 bath modular and I love new ideas for fixing it up
Wow, all that work into a 38 minute video! I can feel my muscles ache for y’all and almost taste the Sheetrock dust. We took a break from remodeling for about 6 months now and we need to get back to it- y’all have inspired me to get going! 😂 I’m sorry to hear about your car breaking down and having a rough start. Your home and property look amazing though and worth it 😊 I’ve been binge watching your winter videos. Thanks for sharing your creativity 💚
What a huge adventure you all have had, and the memories you have made. You now have a blessed, beautiful house as a clean palette for the cozy, artistic love you will fill it with Abby Jo! So much hard work - I'm glad you took time to "play". I smiled watching you all @ the Lake. A deserving end to a hard work day. Love your washing machine!! When my parents family moved to Oregon we had a wringer washer in the yard for laundry and a clothesline. I enjoyed it, surprising for a 16 yo. All your meals looked hearty, tasty & fresh. You are a very special woman and your whole family is also. Thank you for the update. I look forward to seeing more of you, the family, your home and homestead as you embrace your new life. Blessings 🕊❤and a cozy Christmas 🎄☃️🧣❄🛷🎄
Thank you sweet lady!!!! You always encourage me with your sweet comments ❤️❤️❤️ I love that you had a wringer washer growing up. They sure do get clothes clean 🧼 Soooo excited to share more in the coming days. Blessings to you and have a wonderful weekend ❄️❤️🎄🫖😍
Watching this video brought me back to memory lane and all the mixed emotions. My hat goes out to you and your family. It's not easy relocating, especially with little ones.
WOW!! Amazing video. Also recognized I 94 - From ND now living in Europe. Good to see home. This was extraordinary content - and the whole family seemed to handle it all with such grace. Beautiful.
Awesome Possium...I really enjoyed all the work being done here in your video..What a very nice Family...Everyone pulling together to get things done looks wonderful... Gods Blessings! Allen Reynolds
I remember moving cross country from CA to NY and our car broke down. It was part of the adventure. Blessed to have a son who enjoys remodeling. He may have found his career. Thank you for sharing😊
Okay, so I don't even know if you read your comments because I just began watching you about three days ago as a suggestion on my FB feed. Sometimes my hubs watches with me on our TV and he said this lady knows how to cook. Because it was a cooking video of course. But I just watched this video about your family transforming a double wide for your needs after working to buy it outright. This is exactly what my husband and I did. He became ill during the process and can no longer do former things. But still, it was our dream and I love that your family attained it. It's funny because when we watched the first video suggested of yours I told him how I loved your kitchen. At that time I had no idea it was in a mobile. But I love it and your mentality. Now I need to binge watch all of your videos. Thanks for being real and enjoyable!
First of all let me say thank you for sharing real life in a mobile home. Notorious for having very little storage spaces in a single wide two bedroom home. Did I say Thank you? TY 😃🇺🇸
Holy moly a lot of work!! My hats off to you and your hard working family!!! Loved watching your progress and cannot wait to see more videos. I am most excited to see that new stove of yours!!!!!!!! Have a Happy, healthy Holiday:))))
My heart is with you. We are in the middle of the same thing. We sold our home of 25 yrs in town and bought acreage with a smaller fixer upper. When we started the demo it reveals layers of neglect and having been built in the 70’s nothing is to code. My husband is doing most the work himself with help from me and occasionally adult kids so it will be a slow process but I know when it’s all said and done we’ll love the result. This will be our home where we can age in place.
Boy, that Noah knows how to build, after all he did build an ark! Haha! Love your videos and I can’t imagine all you went through on your journey. Blessings!
Thank you so much for sharing this crazy journey, moving and car breaking down and all the kinks in between I couldn’t imagine how stressful that is. Thank you for sharing real times and real struggles. It’s nice to see the real side of life being shared.. a new subscriber and love, listening and watching your videos. They’re just so calming and realistic and I love that.. people say I’m like an old soul to. I think it would be awesome to be able to wash clothes outside like that !😊sending love from our family to yours. God bless you all ,seem like such a lovely down to earth family.. also enjoy the choice of music you play here.
Awww, thank you! It was such a crazy journey here. So happy that our videos resonate ❤️❤️❤️ and it’s nice to hear feedback about the music. Definitely old souls here too!
I’m a long time viewer, but it’s my first time commenting. I really enjoyed this longer vlog format. I’m impressed by all your hard work - your new home is looking good! What a huge transformation the Sheetrock has made! Excited for you guys, and looking forward to what you share next time. xo Marissa
Hello Marissa ❤️ thank you for being a long time viewer and taking the time to leave a comment. 🥰 glad you enjoyed the longer format, I was little worried I made it too long. I’m so excited to share more with you!
WELCOME to Michigan! I found your channel yesterday with a freezer meals video and I’ve enjoyed a couple other videos since then. I hope you fared well through your first Yooper winter and can enjoy some beautiful weather
I drove from Denver, Colorado to New Hampshire with 2 small dogs and 2 cats and anything else that could fit into my 15yr old Honda, CRV. Made it in 3 days and 2 weeks later my Honda blew the head gasket. The good Lord was watching over me all the way cross country❤️🙏
Welcome to Michigan - depending on where you are - depends on how much snow, how cold you get. I live in the center - it is like a valley - places in all directions get lake effect snow or colder weather.
Fabulous to have you back 👏🤩😁..Its wonderful to see a family get stuck in and make a new home for your family .Great workers ..good ethics for your children through life ..🤩👍..Looking forward to more videos ...Exciting Abby Jo ..🥳💞🤩
Just WOW!!! What a journey! I am beyond happy for you and yours, what amazing new memories you will create. I cannot wait to see the coziness you pour into this gorgeous cottage, it’s going to be pure bliss ✨ also, apologies on the stressful vehicle break down during your commute… that’s so stressful, but your little ones did sooo well! But hey, I’m also team Toyota too 😹 they’re the best!
What a satisfying video! Who knew that hanging Sheetrock could be so beautiful. God bless your family. I’m excited to follow you on this new adventure. ❤️
I moved from ID as a 9 year old to Michigan where I live now. Crazy. My friend lives up there in rapid river. We have spent many months updating our double wide (same busy wallpaper as in your house there) and have just moved ourselves. Haven't gotten back to getting videos out yet. Still unpacking and making this home feel like ours. Best wishes to you and beautiful videos.
Moving is SO much work. Great job! My husband is military and we always move ourselves. We have a move coming up this summer from Alaska to who knows where (hopefully finding out soon), and I am already contemplating how we will fit everything in our uhaul. It was packed to the brim on our move up here and we have since added another baby and plenty of stuff 😆
Hello from Oklahoma! I just found your vlog. Moving from the west to the U.P. I love Lake Superior, I haven't been back to see her in over 40 years. I was born in Marquette, and have travelled most of my life. Our last move was for my husband's job. His job brought us to central Oklahoma. Where we purchased 20 acres with an old farm house. Like you, we have plenty remodeling / work, and setting up the property to make for a comfortable farm/homestead. I look foward to following you, and your family in your new home.
You and your family are amazing! I didn't even know you were moving! I love how you all work together. I just moved across town the end of summer and I'm still not settled. Water damage and surgery have been a setback. I look forward to future videos.
Amazing! Michigan seems such a huge departure from the West, but how beautiful your location is! I assume you have a support system in p!ace with such a change. Guess I'm wondering if you all are homesick for the mountains ( and Johanna...didn't see her in the video😥). Congratulations on your new domicile...the Northland( NOT MIDWEST😁) is full of beauty and a wildness all its own... to quote Sarah,Plain and Tall, "unclaimed treasures". Thank you so much for sharing your journey❤
I love that “ Northland “ we do have some friends here and I will share more on why we moved here in a future video. But My oldest son and my oldest daughter ( Johanna) stayed in Idaho. I miss them like crazy but Johanna has already flown out for 21 days and is due for Christmas any day 🙌🥰❤️ I totally miss my mountains, I always will. But what I know in my heart is that is this is where we are supposed to be right now. ❤️
If I at ask you, what area are you in. We went to Chassell , Copper Country, MI Technical University, Lake Linden. Our family lived there. Lake Superior was always so cold. We would see snow in June. We normally went in January or February for a couple weeks. The most beautiful land. I loved how we drove THROUGH the town of CHRISTMAS and Florida. Where the snow would be right up to the sign of Florida.
Just bought my old mobile home back getting ready ta redo the whole thing inside and out Lotta work looking forward to having my own home again Brian from wentzville mo
Welcome to Michigan! I did many cross country moves growing up. As an adult I have done several home makeovers/flips. 1 single wide and 1 dbl wide, plus cottages and homes. I moved into the city to care for a family member and to be close to medical care. We made over a mid-century ranch in the city on the river in Grand Rapids. Do miss the country but for this phase of our lives this works best. Looking forward to your videos. Don't you love the Great Lakes? Wait for the festival season. So much to enjoy. So many in MI. Awesome process. Take care-Sue
I have seen many, many times . People take a torch and burn off on the shiplap, wallpaper and etc. Saved them hours and days of work. I would do it too myself. It never burned the wood. Just the stuff. Your home is looking better each day. GOD BLESS YOU ALL FROM SE MICHIGAN 🀄🌹🌹🌹🇺🇸🀄🀄🛐🛐🛐.
Although you've had a few hiccups making this move, I'm sure you and your family will appreciate it so much more once the house is all done and you're settled in. I'm sorry your car broke down but at least you had your family to go thru it together 🥰 Seeing your husband and son working on the sheet rocks brings back so much memories of when I've had to patch them up and sand them down. It was so much work 😭 But I was sooo happy with the results and I know you guys are too ♥️
Thank you dear! It was a crazy ride to get here, but I am happy we are getting settled in. I'm ready to take this next week off from remodeling and just enjoy every moment of the holiday season. Wishing you a Merry Christmas.
Thank you so much for sharing the transformation! You guys have done lots and lots of work! I love the family teamwork! Just in time for a cozy Christmas!🤗❤️
You have done so much already. What a drive as well! The van issue! I love the UP. You should visit The Lake of the Clouds in Porcupine Mountains park. Also very nice antique shop in Ironwood MI snd Stormy Kromer hats are made there. Lake Superior is my favorite! I can’t wait for you to show everyone the beauty that is now your home. Blessings from Ringle, WI
Hi just found your channel. Curious what part of the UP of Michigan. My grandmother lived in ontonogon spent many summers. Was just back summer 2021. Small family reunion. Love it there

Wow, that would have been quite the journey, moving and break downs and heat. Ive definitely been in a similar situation. I love that you were able to film through all the tiring and hard times. The house already looks amazing. Such hard workers . Shipping containers are our best friends too. Because a few of our kids don't handle changes well, we've always just fixed whats immediately broken and set their rooms up how they like and just moved right in.

WELCOME to Michigan! I found your channel yesterday with a freezer meals video and I’ve enjoyed a couple other videos since then. I hope you fared well through your first Yooper winter and can enjoy some beautiful weather
Awesome! Thank you! We have faired well, I'm excited about the nice weather though :)
I can not wait to see how you turn a modern home into a charming cottage. Thankful you all made it to the Midwest safely.
Thank you, it’s been quite a ride! So glad to be settling down ❤️
Happy to see your trip was safe and you are getting all settled in. Lots of work but you are making so nice! Thanks for sharing.
Thank you 😊 it was a lot of work, but so happy to see it all coming together!

Most incredible video. Just WOW! TY, TY.
Thank you, glad you liked it 😊
You and your beautiful family never cease to amaze me!
Awww 🥰
I drove from Denver, Colorado to New Hampshire with 2 small dogs and 2 cats and anything else that could fit into my 15yr old Honda, CRV. Made it in 3 days and 2 weeks later my Honda blew the head gasket. The good Lord was watching over me all the way cross country❤️🙏
Wow, that awesome! He was watching you :)
Amazing transformation & sooo much work. Your family is learning a lot of skills.
Thanks for sharing!
Thank you so much!
What a powerhouse your son Noah is, you are lucky to have him!! Enjoy your new home, so happy to have you posting videos again Abby Jo!🤗
Thank you, he is!!! His Dad taught him the carpenters trade since he was young and now he does high end trim work for a local company.
@@ForgottenWayFarmsWill your son be living there to? Or nearby? It would be so hard to move away from grown children.
Welcome to Michigan - depending on where you are - depends on how much snow, how cold you get. I live in the center - it is like a valley - places in all directions get lake effect snow or colder weather.
We love Michigan ,I go every years to the UP with my hubby. We have a lake cottage in lower Michigan. Love Michigan!
I agree, It's a lovely place!
Just found your channel. Appreciate your calm energy--nothing like me.
Thank you kindly :)
I so admire and respect you. Debt-free is the way to go. I am working on it
You can do it!
Wow I ache for you. I know the feeling way to much. Broke down on the side of the freeway so many times in 2020 .
Fabulous to have you back 👏🤩😁..Its wonderful to see a family get stuck in and make a new home for your family .Great workers ..good ethics for your children through life ..🤩👍..Looking forward to more videos ...Exciting Abby Jo ..🥳💞🤩
Thank you 😊 I’m so thankful to be back at it and actually have internet to upload again 😂 so excited to share more 🙌😍🫖❤️
Just WOW!!! What a journey! I am beyond happy for you and yours, what amazing new memories you will create. I cannot wait to see the coziness you pour into this gorgeous cottage, it’s going to be pure bliss ✨ also, apologies on the stressful vehicle break down during your commute… that’s so stressful, but your little ones did sooo well! But hey, I’m also team Toyota too 😹 they’re the best!
It’s was a crazy road trip here! But I love my Toyota ❤️ This life is one big adventure and as long as I’m doing it with the ones I love I’m happy.
What a satisfying video! Who knew that hanging Sheetrock could be so beautiful. God bless your family. I’m excited to follow you on this new adventure. ❤️
Oh, I’m so glad you enjoyed it 🥰 And truly a big thank you! I’m excited to share more and glad you want to see it ❤️

Awww thank you!
Wow so impressed.
Very exciting! It’s going to be a wonderful home for your beautiful family.
Thank you 🥰 I am so excited to finish the interior this winter ❄️ Merry Christmas!
I moved from ID as a 9 year old to Michigan where I live now. Crazy. My friend lives up there in rapid river. We have spent many months updating our double wide (same busy wallpaper as in your house there) and have just moved ourselves. Haven't gotten back to getting videos out yet. Still unpacking and making this home feel like ours. Best wishes to you and beautiful videos.
Thank you 😊 I hope you get settled soon!
Moving is SO much work. Great job! My husband is military and we always move ourselves. We have a move coming up this summer from Alaska to who knows where (hopefully finding out soon), and I am already contemplating how we will fit everything in our uhaul. It was packed to the brim on our move up here and we have since added another baby and plenty of stuff 😆
It is SO much work 😂 I bet you are a pro! I wish you and your family a safe move. ❤️
I absolutely love a ringer washer. It gets the clothes super clean.
It really does! 😍
Happy New beginnings! God bless you all! Having land is awesome!😊
Same to you!
Beautiful surrounding area. Nice. 👍🏻🙏🇺🇸
Hello from Oklahoma! I just found your vlog. Moving from the west to the U.P. I love Lake Superior, I haven't been back to see her in over 40 years. I was born in Marquette, and have travelled most of my life. Our last move was for my husband's job. His job brought us to central Oklahoma. Where we purchased 20 acres with an old farm house. Like you, we have plenty remodeling / work, and setting up the property to make for a comfortable farm/homestead. I look foward to following you, and your family in your new home.
Hello 👋 we visited Marquette this summer, beautiful 😍 I’m quite in love with Lake Superior. Good luck on your remodeling too!
I just came across your channel and I’m loving it you’re living the dream I just subscribed
Awww 🥰 thank you for subscribing!
You and your family are amazing! I didn't even know you were moving! I love how you all work together. I just moved across town the end of summer and I'm still not settled. Water damage and surgery have been a setback. I look forward to future videos.
Awww :) I hope you get feeling better and all settled in.
What a beautiful family you have
Thank you :) :) :)
Wow, your son and husband are doing a fantastic job.
Looking forward to seeing the final remodel.
Love these kinds of vlogs.
Will be subscribing.
Thank you 😊 so glad you enjoyed it
I was so happy for the long video ❤
I'm happy you enjoyed it ❤️❤️❤️
Amazing! Michigan seems such a huge departure from the West, but how beautiful your location is! I assume you have a support system in p!ace with such a change.
Guess I'm wondering if you all are homesick for the mountains ( and Johanna...didn't see her in the video😥).
Congratulations on your new domicile...the Northland( NOT MIDWEST😁) is full of beauty and a wildness all its own... to quote Sarah,Plain and Tall, "unclaimed treasures".
Thank you so much for sharing your journey❤
I love that “ Northland “ we do have some friends here and I will share more on why we moved here in a future video. But My oldest son and my oldest daughter ( Johanna) stayed in Idaho. I miss them like crazy but Johanna has already flown out for 21 days and is due for Christmas any day 🙌🥰❤️
I totally miss my mountains, I always will. But what I know in my heart is that is this is where we are supposed to be right now. ❤️
If I at ask you, what area are you in. We went to Chassell , Copper Country, MI Technical University, Lake Linden.
Our family lived there. Lake Superior was always so cold.
We would see snow in June. We normally went in January or February for a couple weeks. The most beautiful land.
I loved how we drove THROUGH the town of CHRISTMAS and
Florida. Where the snow would be right up to the sign of Florida.
Watched your channel for the first time today, really enjoyed it, thank you!
I'm so glad, welcome to the channel :)
Just bought my old mobile home back getting ready ta redo the whole thing inside and out Lotta work looking forward to having my own home again Brian from wentzville mo
Awesome 👏
I just found your blog. I live in Flint, Michigan. I love my State. Welcome, Welcome.
Thank you dear!
I just enjoyed. even your long video. Thank you. 😊 Your son so handsome.
Thank you 🥰
A lot of work but is going to be beautiful! Great job!
Thank you 😊
Wow, what a lot of work, you all did such a great job.
Thank you 🥰
Welcome to Michigan! I did many cross country moves growing up. As an adult I have done several home makeovers/flips. 1 single wide and 1 dbl wide, plus cottages and homes. I moved into the city to care for a family member and to be close to medical care. We made over a mid-century ranch in the city on the river in Grand Rapids. Do miss the country but for this phase of our lives this works best. Looking forward to your videos. Don't you love the Great Lakes? Wait for the festival season. So much to enjoy. So many in MI. Awesome process. Take care-Sue
Thank you Sue, I do love the Great Lakes. Fell in love this summer with them :)
I have seen many, many times . People take a torch and burn off on the shiplap, wallpaper and etc. Saved them hours and days of work. I would do it too myself. It never burned the wood. Just the stuff. Your home is looking better each day. GOD BLESS YOU ALL FROM SE MICHIGAN 🀄🌹🌹🌹🇺🇸🀄🀄🛐🛐🛐.
Thank you so much 😊
Although you've had a few hiccups making this move, I'm sure you and your family will appreciate it so much more once the house is all done and you're settled in. I'm sorry your car broke down but at least you had your family to go thru it together 🥰 Seeing your husband and son working on the sheet rocks brings back so much memories of when I've had to patch them up and sand them down. It was so much work 😭 But I was sooo happy with the results and I know you guys are too ♥️
Thank you dear! It was a crazy ride to get here, but I am happy we are getting settled in. I'm ready to take this next week off from remodeling and just enjoy every moment of the holiday season. Wishing you a Merry Christmas.
I’m new to your channel, I live in Idaho and I’m glad I found your channel. The home is going to be amazing.
Awesome! Thank you!
Wow, you're starting with a much bigger trailer than mine. I'm watching with much excitement and potential tips and tricks to learn from you all.
I’m glad you are following along, thank you 😊
This was fun to watch! Nothing like getting the paint on the walls😁 Those enchiladas look delicious!
I’m so glad you enjoyed friend 🥰 The paint on the walls changed everything for me, I was ready to start decorating 😂
Thank you so much for sharing the transformation! You guys have done lots and lots of work!
I love the family teamwork!
Just in time for a cozy Christmas!🤗❤️
I’m so glad you enjoyed it 🥰🥰🥰 And yes, I’m so ready for Christmas and a cozy winter ❄️
@@ForgottenWayFarms Me too!🤗💓
You have done so much already. What a drive as well! The van issue! I love the UP. You should visit The Lake of the Clouds in Porcupine Mountains park. Also very nice antique shop in Ironwood MI snd Stormy Kromer hats are made there. Lake Superior is my favorite! I can’t wait for you to show everyone the beauty that is now your home. Blessings from Ringle, WI
Thank you dear ❤️ It is so beautiful up here! I’m excited to explore more this summer!
What a journey. We have moved across the country 4xs. We currently are living in central WI. in a 100 yr. old farm (we raise/graze Angus beef :)
Wow! You know the work involved in moving. We are almost neighbors, hello!
Beautiful family
❤️❤️❤️
That was a lot of hard work. I’ve helped with this type of work. Very tiring but satisfying 💕
Yes, so much work! ❤️ I’m already loving the results and we are about 80% finished with the interior.
@@ForgottenWayFarms congratulations 🎉
@@0JReynolds Thank you 😊
I use glass marbles to make my arrangements stay in place. The crock pot is great to have. ❤️🇺🇸
That’s awesome!
Welcome to the UP, eh! 😉 I’m in Newberry if you ever need anything.
Thank you!! I appreciate that, we drove through Newberry this summer 🙌 the UP is beautiful 😍
This video was just suggested for me. Well done on your new home! 💕
Yay! Thank you!
amazing family
🥰🥰🥰
Awesome! I've gone to Butte Toyota before. I thought that ridge of mountains looked familiar.
They are great 👍 😊
Just found you. Loved watching it!
Awww, thank you! So glad you found us, welcome. :)
Hi just found your channel. Curious what part of the UP of Michigan. My grandmother lived in ontonogon spent many summers. Was just back summer 2021. Small family reunion. Love it there
I loved your long video! I wish you had the finishing of your home remodel all in 1 long video!
I do too! :) We are still working on our home, but we will keep sharing along the way. :)
