Today we start to build the details for our Hobbit House, starting with a magical little door with a very special finishing touch.

1/4 cup whizzed up rolled oats
1/4 cup honey
Mix everything in a large bowl, roll level tablespoons of mixture into balls, place on an un-greased baking tray and flatten with a fork. Bake at 180 degrees for 15 minutes and enjoy!

That's one cool kuku door 😊I see they are locally available in Nairobi 💃💃💃 Happy December❤
What if the door closes before the chickens enter the coop? they will spend the night outside in the rain and cold....there is a safe mode?
@@isabelcoelho2418 My question exactly!
Thank you so much for the links 😊
I can't believe Crusoe is only 2.5yo, he is such an amazing little guy. ❤
Thank you Mary, we are very proud 🙏❤️
🦋 Huge thanks to Mario, for always showing up and getting right at it. You are blessed to have met him. And we the viewers are blessed to see somebody who does so many things so well with so much skill.🍀🐞🌧️🌧️
Thanks Anna, totally agree. 🙏❤️
Yeah to all of you… Mario , Crusoe , the eggs, John , Tara and Sawyer ! ❤️❤️🕊❤️❤️
Automatic chicken coop door. Absolutely brilliant. Wonderful to see how your ideas and creativity are constantly evolving 😊
so gorgeous. I love little Sawers face, as he smiles and how he copies Cruscoe. just delightful.xxxx
Those two little boys are so lucky to have you two as parents. I love the way you let them be boys. We can see those little minds growing with each episode. They will grow up to be such well rounded young men.
The Newbys did it again! Each one doing what they do best, being themselves, to help! all of us who get to enjoy watching them, have a pleasant break in our day. Thank you again Newbys!
Thank you Linda! ❤️❤️
Oh that Sawyer is very funny! So full of beans! And Crusoe’s “I can’t do it” lament was both sad and hilarious! What a pair of boys you have. Great job on the door and good job Mario for negotiating that hill!
Thanks Reet!! ❤️❤️
Best parents ever.❤
Introducing a mudroom will be the ultimate game changer for your beautiful ever evolving property ❤❤
Mario must be a logistical genius. What a gem to have for a neighbour.
Mario has so much experience lol, loss of traction, lift the weight further back and off he goes. How awesome to have him around.👍
Sawyer is always so happy. I love that.
I had to laugh at John..."rare moment of peace" and trust me, every parent or grandparent on the planet can identify with you! I love seeing the boys involved in all you do and the life skills they learn are simply beyond measure! Thank you for my daily chuckle...think I need to call my grandchildren now :)
Perfect Michelle! Perfect! Thank you.
Oh Tara, you just made me remember something! This child book... I love you, to the moon and back, with wide spread arms! Long, long time ago, I gifted this little book, that is known in Germany as well, to my Love, a grown man and he was speachless and owerwhelmed about the message! Thank you for reminding me! I´m going to look for the book to read it again , to warm my heart while reading it!
It is so nice to see that young people like you still know such valuable books and show them to your children!
Do you remember the Pookie books?
@@SJC49 No, I´m sorry!
Amazing Sandra! ❤️❤️❤️
I love your creativity. Doors out of planks. Green windows. Chickens on the door
Crusoe’s expression of empathy and sympathy when realizing that his mouthwatering goodies were burnt is beyond precious. He "gets you" Tara!
Verdad!. Además no se pone a llorar ❤
He does Merry!! ❤️❤️
Love your work Crusoe. You’re a great help to mom and Dad. Filming takes a steady hand and good eyes. Thank you for your help. 👍🏻
🙏🙏❤️❤️
Once again, Crusoe steals the show. His sweet face when the cookies burned…heartbreaking!
Crusoe Cam never fails to delight! 👶🎥
Chickozy! That name is brilliant, and such a smart idea too! I often wondered if one of those dog (cat) flaps would work on a coop, but then you'd still need to set it to one way and somehow microchip all the chickens, but this thinks of it all 🐓🐔🐥🐣🥚
I'm so glad you are rescuing those green panes from that door. They seemed to be swamped by that plastic beading and so whatever you end up making with them they will look so much better, and with the little brown moon-gazing hares it will look stunning!
*Hugs * to you all! xx
The chicken door is good.all kids like wearing their parents shoes.Sawyer is looking good with his walking. Well done with the Cam Job Crusoe. 👍😊
Deepin the southern hallers of Tennessee there is a road called" Not the road" which runs parallel to"Not, not the road".
Shared in homage to the " not garage". Lovely family, beautiful homestead.
The Magnificent Crusoe! He's two!😮
Thanks Paula!
LOVING DARLING LITTLE CRUSOE''S ❤ CURIOSITY - EVEN FILMING INTO THE INDIVIDUAL BRICKS ..... SO, SO SPECIAL INDEED ❤❤
AND .....
LATER ON ..... AS FOR THOSE "SHOES" 🦶🦶 THAT CRUSOE 🙋❤️ IS "SAILING" AROUND THE FARM🐔🐥🐦 IN ! ! !
JUST TOO PRECIOUS FOR WORDS ❤❤❤
Thank you Candace!! ❤️❤️
Sawyer is going to walk to his own tune😂😍and a comedian. He is a darling. Crueso is just blossoming as well. You doing a fantastic job.
All that sand for the boys to play in. You are very kind Mario.😂😂😂😂
I cant do it. Oh sweet boy you warm my heart on the darkest days you really do.
Honestly whenever im having a really down day and struggling, your videos seem to pop up at the right time and your family just brightens my day.
We loved that Lyndsey. Thank you ❤️🙏🏼😃🏡🇵🇹
I absolutely love the British accent and British use of words, so different from America! I could listen to John talk all day. "Crack on!"
By living with a garden, chickens and fruit trees you are teaching your children how to live for a lifetime of good nutrition.
I have to smile at the kaos that is your not garage. When we had all of our 4 small children at home and pretty much until my husband retired and we sold our home of 40 years and moved to another state into only our 2nd home that we had build from the ground up, this time though my hubby got a big workshop and it is so wonderful he has it decked out so so well and no more only being able to walk in the foot holes remaining. So John, your time will come. My hubby loves his shed and makes some brilliant things in there. Bu, he unlike you John, he has to draw out his plan before he can proceed, I love watching what your head sees and then, hey presto, there it is in all it's brilliance
Well done Jane that is amazing! ❤️🙏🏼😃🏡🇵🇹
crusoe will be taking over the filming in the future! The glass from the old door is beautiful and I am so glad you will be using it in your new home as well as in the door of the mower garage!
Omg the little one wears his shoes, well done
Hi John, Tara, Crusoe and Sawyer…..as always a great, happy vlog from you to cheer a very wet and gloomy day here in Devon! Crusoe is such an accomplished young man and was great as cameraman and fabulous in his Mums shoes lol! He did well to walk in and keep them on for so long! Great to see Sawyer getting about and becoming a little chap into everything. Loving the hobbit door! Again, Johns creativity is endless. And Tara you can rest easy that your chooks will be safe with that fabulous little door! Best wishes and ❤ Julie 😊
Thank you Julie!! A great door for sure! ❤️❤️
Omg I’m 😂 that’s perfect! Hose em down boys,dogs,chickens and fathers!😊😅
Crusoe, you are a great boy altogether. Great filming for dada and Mario.👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Yes Crusoe is the sweetest ❤ and I just giggled with joy at the chicken 🐓 door ❤Fancy FANCY! So cool 😎
Fancy indeed!!! Thanks Alice!! ❤️🙏❤️
Crusoe’s excited, little breathing when he’s filming is precious. Ha! Bom día!!!
❤️❤️🙏🙏
Yes, it was so precious.❤
Lovely 😊, Crusoe is so mature for his age! Though I hold my breath whenever he collects the eggs!!!😄 I love that you're so trusting , and let him. WQonder if any have got broken!! Sawyer has come on so quickly too, it doesn't seem long since he was in the carrier, front or back when you were working around the land, and now he;s toddling round by himself.
Crusoe is so good at filming very professional. Love the hobbit house can't wait to see it finished.
Thanks Patricia!!
On another channel that I watch, they installed a chicken coop, it was on the lawn (grass), once the chickens had torn up the lawn, they researched and found that they need new land, like the lawn. They purchased wood chips, and that was the new land for the chickens the chickens really enjoyed it. They also have a big galvanized tub with sand & such for the chickens to groom their selves. The Channel is Lydia Elise Millen, she is in the UK she started as a Beauty and fashion channel and still does that, but they have a Kitchen Garden, a Greenhouse, and an outdoor kitchen.
Thanks Kathy, good tip friend. ❤️🙏
Hi guys. You've made a cracking pathway out of those slabs, Jonh.👈😁
Omg Tara I use to read that book to my son when he was little. He’s 27 now and remembers that book, and he won’t let me give it away. So sweet. 😢
Love it Trisha!
I can’t even believe how long Crusoe wore those shoes. ❤️🤣
I get where Crusoe comes from, living in a rural area myself, the sound of a vehicle got you to the window at least.👍😂
More puzzling! Love your path.
Feel your sadness at the burnt biscuits- the next batch will be delicious!
Love the green window on the door. You are a genius,John💚
Tara, if you find some tiny tea party plates, cups, and tiny pitcher and some cocktail forks the boys will have an adventure in eating. They will eat more than you'd expect and try different items too. Also , an ice cube tray would work- filling each hole with a different food.
I'm excited about the chicken door for the new coop we're building! Thank you!
Cursoe is growing up 😊. I have to say that you both are amazing parents. Traveling mercies 🙏. Thank u for sharing ur life with us 💖
Oh, I loved to hear you saying , the Hobbit House❤😊
Signed up for the Chickcozy email subscription ... their prices arn't too bad at all. ALSO.... Crusoe's lower lip poking out in complete disappointment!!! Oh that face .... priceless! And he was such a good sport eatting them even though they were extra crispy :)
Thanks Cathleen!! ❤️🙏
I agree with you John about Crusoe cam, I saw how good he was holding the camera high enough to see you and Mario and found myself saying 'he is so good and he's only 2!'. I cant wait to see the finished hobbit door. Your path looks great and so does your lawn. Shame about those biscuits Tara x
He is doing a great job Lynne. We are so proud of him! Thanks for the support 🐓🏠🙏🏼❤️🇵🇹
Caruso did a great job. He will of course become an expert by the time he's in school. Practice makes perfect. He so loves to be involved, learning things along the way. It's just so lovely to watch the boys grow and thrive on your homestead. Great crazy paving John.
Thanks so much Robyn 🐓🏠🙏🏼❤️🇵🇹
John!!! Your shoulder man!!! You should have those cement blocks covered!!! They get heavier when wet!!! Tara you are ever sooo right!!!You shouldn't pull out the letuces though! You just cut them just above the ground and they grow back again, just like fresh onions do.! If you plant small size dry onions in your greenhouse, you'll have green onions for your salads all year round! Hahahaha!!! You midgets have made my night!!! I' ll be laughing in my sleep tonight!!! I love you guys!!! Goodnight all❣️🇬🇷
That’s so true Lee, and really heavy!! Great to hear from you, thanks for watching friend.
Watching you guys never fails to bring a warm feeling of true❤ family.
Cruesoe in your shoes was hilarious, he was walking up the hill outside the not garage and it was so funny. Love that green glass, looked fabulous in your door.
Crusoe was so precious in understanding about the burn biscuits.
The green windows is beautiful! ❤
John, that was just my impression about Crusoe!!! A 2,5 yrs old boy filming!!!! Fabulous!!!!😊
Chickozy: what if one of the chicken didn't go inside their house? Will they have to stay out all night?🤫
Tara: you are sooo practical!!!!💪
Vacuumbags, great way to store baggy things
Thanks Margaret! the door only closes after dark and the chickens are never out after dark, they always go into the coop at dusk. Good question. 👍👍
We are so proud of Crusoe, he learns things so quickly, I guess all kids do. Thanks so much for watching and taking this journey with us, your support is so very much appreciated! 👍🙏🇵🇹🏡 ❤️
Hello guys ☕️🥰👋👋👋
👏for flagging up processed rubbish, that’s full of hidden nasties!
Everybody needs they own Mario😊🎉. If Mario ever wants to visit or move to Oz let me know please😊. Door looking good. Love the idea the boys can try to do anything even if sometimes I close my eyes of bit of fear. As a child I wasn't allowed to touch scissors any sharp object. Crusoe just pick up the screwdriver and try to "fix" the door. I do envy them. Truly the next generation is going to be fantastic. ❤❤❤❤🫂🫂🫂🫂 to you all AND extra ❤🫂 for Mario.
Thank you Erika! ❤️❤️🙏🙏
Thank you guys for all your amazing videos. My wife n I are currently visiting Portugal,based in the most beautiful hotel in Viseu. Northern Portugal is definitely the place for us. Between you guys and the Scotters we are very grateful for your influence ☘️
The boys are a delight.
Cruseo seems much older than his 2yrs,his speech is so clear. 😊
Sawyer follows in cruseos footsteps.😊
What about drawing a tree of life on door, with a full moon. 💚
Thank you so much for this lovely compliment about our boy ❤️❤️❤️
The 2 doors😊 can’t wait to see the hobbit door and house finished!!
your view and land is gorgeous! 😊
Good morning Family! Crusoe first response to the cookies 🍪 is priceless “I can’t mommy make sandwiches “ so looking 👀 forward to the hobbit house and the chronicles unfolding of the farm. Sending you love from Jersey-Mariana ❤
Thanks Mariana!! 😂😂😂 he’s like his dad, just says what he thinks!! ❤️❤️😂😂
As always so much to do before you can carry on with your projects 😊Crusoe did great with the filming! Thank for the episode, have a lovely Sunday!
Thanks Dave!!
My youngest son was a very poor eater and I fed my sons very healthy but he was so picky and our family doctor said to put what we were eating but also put a item he loved as he would start to try the other things on his plate in time. He did become a better eater but out of my four sons he was by far the pickiest eater and still is as a adult. It’s lovely that you have some of your own food growing. Take care.
Thanks Debbie!! ❤️❤️
Greetings from Memphis, Tennessee home of Elvis and wonderful BBQ.
Crusoe cam rocks! I think FiFi is very impressed. You may have also had a shoe breakthrough! 😍🇨🇦
Crusoe did a great job, when he was filming. I loved everything TheNewbys did in this vlog. Thank you for the lovely content.
John & Tarah, what a nice video!
WONDERFUL MARIO 🎉❤ ...... SO PLEASED JOHN, TARA, CRUSOE AND SAWYER ..... THAT YOU HAVE SUCH A WONDERFULLY KIND AND HELPFUL NEIGHBOUR SUCH AS DEAR MARIO ❤🎉❤
You bet!! Thanks Candace!
@@TheNewbys❤🎉 ❤
XX + xx
My beautiful way to start our Sunday right after church! You exemplify love and peace in your daily routine!and your lucky boys will learn this way of living. Whether it’s how you interact with each other, your animals, neighbors,your wins and your loses, your positive attitude to everything. Bravo! Love to you all.
Thank you for this lovely comment Iris. It means so much to us 🐓🏠🙏🏼❤️🇵🇹
Loved the chickens reaction to their new door!😂
Thanks Kathleen! It’s a good one for sure!! ❤️🙏
Hello my beautiful family. Sorry it's been a while. Im now carer for my daughter. Life is now me running her to appointments etc. She doesn't drive anymore, so it's just down to me.!!! It's so hot over here. We've had 34cel. 100% humidity
We're neither of us coping.!!! The farm is looking lovely, but I was so sad about the dogs. The poor chooks must have been terrified. I felt for you both, at the thought of you maybe losing them, they are now part of your family, and so loved.xx I can't believe how grown up Crusoe is now. And Sawyer growing so quickly too. Such a sweetheart. I love his smile.xx I'm wondering when you are going to start building your house. ??? It will be so wonderful for you all. Space to breathe.!!??
Ok. I had best sleep. My love and hugs to you all always. Please all stay safe.xx
Must tell you, my niece got engaged in Portugal and is marrying in London.on Dec 9th 2023.
Byeeeeeee.xx 😊 ❤❤
Hi Anna! Wow engaged that’s fantastic news, congrats to your niece. So sorry you’re having a hard time with the heat, wishing it gets better for you. Great to hear from you, thanks for watching friend. ❤️❤️🙏🙏
You guys dont need anyone to tell you that you two ate Great Patents and an inspiration to others.
Thank you Tom!
It's always with empathy thai I follow your videos. Thanks for sharing all the dayly upgrades wathing all tht you're up to..dearest family ❤❤❤
Good boy Caruso. Your filming is Stephen Spielberg worthy
We love Mario!
There’s a couple of you tubers I follow with kids like Crusoe, and I can’t wait till these vlogs are taken over & run by these little 2nd generation filmmakers 🎉🎉
🙏🙏❤️❤️
Crusoe Cam so cute, he is such a good helper.
What a great job Crusoe did in filming you and Mario
Thanks Janine!!
Love the Masonry work that you guys are doing on the walkway
Crusoe's breathing whilst doing his excellent filming of Daddy & Mario waa so cute .. 🩵 Well dine Crusoe !!
I have noticed many times that Crusoe is a darn good little camera man!🎯♥
Thanks Annie. We are very proud of him. ❤️❤️
It’s wonderful the relationship you have with Mario in his family. It must make life so much better. And that certainly is a cool door for the chicken coop. Cheers!
Thanks Leo, very cool door!!
That little chickendoor is awesome, now they are always gonna be safe and no one needs to run down there to close it.
Crusoe filming and later approving of the making of the door is such a treat. You two are raising some nice boys.
The little hobbit house will be magical with a beautiful hand crafted door. Lovely and so exciting to see how it
will turn out. Love and see you all on wednesday.
It is absolutely amazing Anja! Thank you for your lovely comment about our boys ❤️❤️❤️
What if the door closes at dusk but the chickens haven't gone in
Hi Newbys
It was lovely to see Crusoe wearing shoes this week even though they're too big for him. I only hope he leaves them somewhere where you can find them.
Liked the chickozy, what an amazing invention. It's good to see your girls are still laying.
Keep up the good work. Can't wait to see the hobbit house.
Thanks Sandra! ❤️🙏
My father would have loved the biscuits as he always ate the ones mum made when we kids that were black on the bottom. Joys of a combustion wood stove. For a long time my favourite was burnt toast and lots of butter. Yum!
Hi from Queensland
Hey Crusoe, I hate shoes too! And I loved your artwork on the chicken house! Tara it is so wonderful to see you feeding your kids the way we were all intended to eat. Between vaccinations, antibiotics, and processed GMOed food it is no wonder we see the illnesses, both physical and mental, that we do. I loved watching the boys just pick the lettuce and eat it without washing it first. They are building a super gut biome. Bravo!! Thank you so much for sharing those too cute for words boys.
Thanks so much friend ❤️🙏🏼😃🏡🇵🇹
The boys and you both warm my heart ! Thank you for capturing such precious moments so beautifully . Well done 😊
Oats are the ultimate fattening food, only my chickens get that. Most of today's knowledge about nutrition comes from the 70s and 80s, where studies were done that were paid for by food companies like Kelloggs. Some may still remember the advertising back then. Now everything has been refuted. Everything was wrong. and few believe it is wrong. like me, until 3 years ago. Since then I've been learning something new every day.
Great to hear friend. Thanks!
Roasted veg then blended to a sauce is great with rice or pasta. Our kids love it.
Lentil shepherds pie is a win.
Finely chopped veg in soup is easy for kids to eat. 🤗
Love when the boys just grabbed the lettuce and starting eating it, so funny! 😂 The biscuits sound yummy , I think I’ll try to make them. Hopefully I won’t burn them as I’m always forgetting things in the oven when I start doing other things, so I feel for you Tara. Crusoe’s face when he saw them was priceless. Love the door idea’s! 😊
Those boys are just so entertaining. ❤️
Nice door allready!
Loved seeing the boys grab and eat the lettuce. It's something I'm trying with my own toddlers - but they just will not eat lettuce at the moment, even when they haven't the chance to plant it and watch it grow and harvest it themselves, it's still just spat out at dinner. I totally feel the same concerns when they won't eat the nutritious food you put on the table but never hesitate when an offer of processed food appears. I know they go through stages, but it doesn't make it any easier in the moment! Keep up the good work team, I love watching what you all do ❤
The green glass is so beautiful.❤
Bless him.hes good at filming 😂❤❤❤😊
