Our Journey! How did we get here?
In the winter of 2019 we moved in to our self built van full time to begin living, working and travelling Canada. We quickly fell in love with chasing our dreams of adventuring off the beaten path, living off grid and being self sustaining. We drove our van thousands of miles through various countries-Canada, USA, Mexico & Guatemala. All of which we documented here on our channel, be sure to check that out! After many years on the open road we found ourselves 15 acres of remote woods of Canada where we are building a homestead and renovating our fully off the grid cabin. We are diving into this chapter of our lives in no experience, we're so happy we can bring you all along as we learn to do it all with our own two hands. Thank you for being here with us for cabin life, van life and all the in between!

Give this video a thumbs up if we made you laugh or cry!! We certainly did both 🥲 Happy this video is finally live, we posted on our community page about the delay (subscribe + turn on notifications to be notified) we had major technical difficulties this morning with this upload. It’s been a YEAR since we last sat down to answer your questions- we love sharing more with you and getting vulnerable! See you Sunday Pack & think about singing up for therapy with BH 💛
Laughed and cried a bit. Especially the part of having to be afraid to tell people who you really are. My wife and I love you both. Thank you for making the world a better place.
You gals always make me laugh and also touch my heart. Thank you for sharing. Much love from Western New York state USA. I am 50% Canadian (England) 😄❤️🇺🇸🇨🇦
YEEEESSSSS!!! Phil is already baking dog 🐕 bone 🦴 cookies 🍪 on the odd chance you have a Meet & Greet in California! 🌞🫶🏻
The CA Pack 🐾 is a Strong 💪🏼 one! (Plus we have frozen yogurt 🍦 shops every 15 feet 😆) XOXO Mo & Phil 😽😻❤
You are both so sweet.
It's awesome to see you two being able to be yourselves in public knowing all my generation and older fought so hard to make happen!! 😊✌
Crystal, thank you for your vulnerability - We all have some childhood situations that we don't want to share. You are not alone.
Thank you Sherry 💛 sending love to everyone who can relate, everyone’s been through something. Together it feels less alone.
Yes, Thank You, Jazz is Right your past made you the Strong Determined Perfectionist Woman that you are, to get things done As an adult, I realized my own perfectionism came from growing up, if I just made this thing PERFECT, I thought somehow I could Control The frickin Chaos that was going on, SO AS an adult, I have tried to Counterbalance that perfectionism, by buying a set of used plates Naming them, an issue, and breakin the hell out of em. It helps to change the behavior😅 and don't allow myself to clean it up for a week or so, then I used all those pretty broken pieces in a outdoor shower, cement floor
Crystal, I struggle with wanting everything to be perfect also. One thing I tried to adopt is that "Perfect is the enemy of good." Learning to live with good enough is so freeing. Good luck to both of you with the land and building in Mexico, look forward to those videos. Hope you are finding materials now, I hear things can be hard to source there.
You two are such a beautiful couple! Can always see how much love you have for each other ❣️ I really look forward to seeing your future adventures and kids down the road if that is what you choose. As always, hugs and scratchies to Bella and Izzy ❤🐾🐾🐾🐾 Watching you two makes my heart full....
I think you guys are amazing, I love watching you, and I could not imagine you guys being anything but who are together, you guys rock and crystal you will be a great mom
Thank you for your encouraging words. 💛🐶
Sweet! Love to you both
Thank you for sharing. You both have beautiful stories
Welcome to being snowbirds. This is the best way to live if you can afford it!
Love you two. I've missed you
What a nice video! Thank you!❤
You will never be 100% ready for kids in my opinion. I have a 4 and a 1 year old and i cant say i was a 100% ready but i was longing for a new chapter and man was it ever the best decision. Watching your kids develop, grow and become little humans is the best thing in the world! The love you feel for them is like no other love you’ve ever felt before 🩵
😊🌺
San Diego meet and greet 😉
I have to share I’m a straight man always have been
I have no problems with gay or lesbian relationships
I hear you talking about your relationship and it makes me think of mine
I’ve been married now for going on twelve years now and me being married this long is the longest relationship I’ve been in
Pitiful when you hear I’m 63 yrs old
I’m an Alaskan Native and I have been an alcoholic for most of my life by choice if ya can believe that
Then in 2012 I met her and just stopped drinking no pressure no ultimatums just quit
When I couldn’t quit for court no quitting for family no one
My own mother and father died before I finally realized it does nothing for me
And she came into my life
Now I tease her once in awhile that I was an alcoholic and planned on dying alone and she ruined it
She knows I’m kidding but if not for her I’d still be drunk and alone
I can’t imagine life without her
I’ve told her she’s not allowed to die first cause I wouldn’t be able to handle it
Today we have 24 grandchildren and one great grandchild
Life is good and your videos add to my life thank you for your sharing
I hope the Great Spirit continues to bless you both
Your friend
Wow! It is great that you found your niche and are happy with being in it! Power to you!
Thank you so much for sharing your story with us 💛
She was just the medicine that you needed. Good on you. Keep up your happiness and health! You and your partner deserve it. Much Love, from Scotland, ❤️❤️ XX ...
What a beautiful testimony. So happy you found your person. Its such a blessing❤❤❤❤😊
You girls are just great❤️
You ladies are a real joy to see. This world isn't always nice. When you look at each other you see the love for each other. Some people are to narrow minded, we just ignore those people. I think you both are beautiful and happy that's all that matters. ❤❤❤
Melissa, you filled up our hearts with your kind words! Thanks so much for being here 💛💛
I'm with Melissa. You two are just adorable together, and I would have words with anyone who gave you a hard time about.
Exactly this. I wanted to write something but I couldn't have said it better than what Melissa wrote, so I'll just go with "What she said!". Stay happy and please keep sharing, as we love going on your adventures with you.
As someone who was adopted, I love that you’re open to it. There are so many kids who need, and deserve, a safe home and loving family.
I agree 100%. Unfortunately, the stories that you hear the most about adoption, are the horror stories and the tragic experiences. I understand that not everyone feels like the luckiest kid on Earth because of adoption. In fact, some people have had unbelievably heartbreaking experiences and I genuinely feel deeply sorry for what they've been through.
But you rarely hear about the people who've had a truly amazing life BECAUSE they were adopted... by incredibly loving and wonderful people who've loved and provided the best life possible for their children, whether those children are biologically theirs or not. I thank God every day for my parents - and they ARE my parents. They've been my mom and dad from day one and they'll be my mom and dad until my last day. I could never even think of anyone else as my parents.
As cliche as it might seem to say it, parents aren't always just the people who "create" you or give birth to you. They're the people who've loved you and sacrificed for you and did their best to raise you to be kind and compassionate human beings. I am lucky enough to be one of those "children" who were given the chance to have an amazing life and I'll be forever grateful for it.
Anyway... I'll get off my soapbox now. I guess that I just needed to let people know that there's a very positive side of adoption because I live it every day. 💛😌
I am 73 and was adopted, at Birth, and was raised by an extremely loving mother and father. After watching you for the last couple of years, I know that if you decide to adopt or have children naturally, you two will make great parents. You love for each other show every time you put out a new video. I am looking forward to your next project, hope it's the lake home, and seeing you two working together as a team. You two are awesome!
Me too and I feel exactly the same way
How about a foster child this summer that might turn into an adoption? With fostering a child you not only get to give them the routine of life they need but think of the skills you can teach them! Some young man or woman could be 10 years old and know how to rehab a home, grow veggies in the greenhouse, care for pets, drive the UTV and garden tractor and so much more. Think of it as mentoring while fostering a child! PS: If your going to have a child of your own I nominate Porter to be "dad" in whatever capacity fits! :)
Just so you two know… there is NOT one dad in this world who would not be so proud of the way you are turning out and doing what you do!! What a refreshing way to handle things.
Aww haha that’s such a sweet comment Ron! Thank you so much for being here
@@VanwivesI’m a father and a grandfather and I completely agree with Ron.
@@jimmyjenkins9240 you are soo very right ..I am a father, grandfather and a great grandfather !!! I can't agree with you more !!!
Absolutely, I agree! Ron
I think you're wrong..I would tell them to just buy the 2 extra properties quietly.. and finish a project before announcing more and more and more.. it is starting to seem like they went from living a modest and minimalist life to never having enough.. every toy , every tool etc. A van they don't use, 2 trucks, a tractor, a side by side, motorcycle, hot tub, sauna, greenhouse they won't use, on 3 properties.. excessive and often wasteful..I get the need for content.. but just like Tyler and todd.. they seem to have gotten so much money they cannot focus on what their dream really is.. it's become just consuming as much as possible.
I have been following your adventures since you started the videos. You are a very important part of my life. I am 81 years old and would be proud to have you as my granddaughters. Thank you so much. Much love.
Thank you for watching Jim. Sending love back to you. 💛🐶
I currently work for Big Brothers Big Sisters In Pittsburgh! I love to know that the work we put in really does make an impact! Thank you for sharing ❤
Thank you for doing all that you do 💛 it changed my world
As a 50 year old man from the Netherlands who has everything going for myself and my family I love watching homestead videos. I am following your channel for a long time now but you 2 girls always amaze me. One time with the building and perseverance, the other time with the way you grow and are able to aquire new properties. Now with the way you two are able to pass on true love, emotions, struggles and joy just in a video.
I wish I could express my respect for the two of you more than just virtually take off my hat and bow.
You 2 are very special human beings. I hope you let us be able to join you life journey through UA-cam for a long long time and if you even do a meet-up, wherever I will try anything to join and shake hands.
Hey Rogierbanis and family! Thank you for sharing this with us. One of the most respectful comments I’ve ever received. We hope to share for a long long time. Thank you for watching us & coming through all the different chapters with us 💛
You guys should totally come to Australia you'll be very welcome
Inspirational, aren't they?
Ja heel handig om via you tube je zakken te vullen
A very good visit this week and I have no doubts that you will fulfill both your 5 year your 10 years goals. You both have the stick to it gene that is so necessary to accomplish whatever you set your minds too
Have a good week know I am recovering from back surgery and while this week has gone well, hoping that the coming week will be even better 😊
I just love you guys! You’re both beautiful and amazing people! I’m 62. Raised 4 kids as a single mom. 3 girls, 1 boy. Your answer about your single moms made me cry too! All my kids grew up to be strong independent adults just like you both. Watching your vlogs and your life together just makes my heart happy! Just want you to know that. Thank you! ❤
Awww so happy to hear your heart is happy- thank you for watching our videos. You’re strong Vicky!! Thanks for sharing that with us… Sending love from us four to you 💛
Last comment - this is a great Q & A vlog. I usually can't stand these - but this one really tied up some split ends. Raw and real. So much respect and love for both of you!
Ahh so glad you feel this way- thanks for letting us know 💛 appreciate you tuning in on Sundays after all these years xx
Totally, agree!!
What the hell? I am blown away. Your honesty, your absolute dropping of barriers, your complete ability to communicate your past and future hopes and dreams. I have followed you two for four years. I am so happy l did.
I am a firm believer in that you only have one life, and you need to live it - fully, unapologetically, and you have to learn to love yourself before you can love anyone else. Your joy and smiles help to make the world a much brighter place. Just be happy!
Best comment Ever !!!!
LOVE it thank you so much for leaving these words here! 💛🥹
I loved this Q & A. You two are so beautiful together. As I said before, watching you helped me through my breast cancer in 2023. I was so depressed at various times and watching you gave me hope. I can’t wait to see your next project at the new cabin.
You are both amazing souls. Thank you for sharing your lives and some of your history - I was in tears with you. You are both so positive and strong. Admire you both immensely.
Awww 🥹💛 thank you for leaving this comment! Lots of love from us 4
I wish you much happiness, and may all your dreams and goals come true. As a parent of two and now grandfather of four, I would offer that parenting pushes everything else to the side. Not regrettably, but watching someone else parent is not the same as being a parent. Our sons are now adulting and will sometimes ask how we found time for everything. We prioritized being parents, and some things got postponed, for a decade or two. Like travel that did not focus on our children or at least engage them. We are doing that now, in our 70s. Also one piece of advice we received that puzzeled us until we were doing it. One child keeps you busy. Two children will keep you 4 times busier. And approaching our 50th year of marriage I can say it has all been worth it. And even more. We like to buy Christmas ornaments each year that represent important chapters in our story. In that way our tree is our biography. Lots of ornaments are about our sons and now our grandchildren. Lately we are adding ornaments about our travels. That works for us and you will find what works for you. Thanks for sharing your story.
Loved reading this comment, so so special. Thank you for the inspiration and story of love 💛
You girls are the example of how much love & care is more important in a childs upbringing than processions. Think everybody here proud if you and your achievements. Seems like you got the future sketched out, you gonna need Mexico for a break, what with sorting a spare cabin and upkeeping the homestead. Thanks for sharing and here's to the next year. Good to see the subs numbers slowly creeping up too, you deserve it. Take care and see you next week 💛
I’ve no doubt you two will be awesome mothers with so much love to give, but also so much skills and experience to share and teach. Whatever child that comes into your life would be very lucky to have you both as parents. Love you & your pack💖🐾
Thank you for your kind words. Happy to have you in our pack.💛🐶
I wanna see y'all go to Australia and see max! ❤
Really love your Q&As! ❤
Seeing the shots of the cabin interior reminded me that you all should be featured in the Architectural Digest channel. I followed you all since you bought the cabin and I think the cabin transformation illustrates the grit, creativity and dedication that you bring to all your projects! Would love to see it showcased on AD.
Awww haha thank you so much!!! I don’t have words 💛 thank you for watching each sunday
Thank you for being so transparent with us. And thank you for keeping some things, just for you.
I loved all of this.
Thank you for your understanding and support Ruthie! We’re so grateful to have you part of our community 💛
Yes love your sharing your life experiences joys and sorrows your love story is refreshing ,I am a straight male my first wife is lesbian who pushed Irvin my face but I like the way you ladies have just let it evolves . I wish you the best of everything.
I look forward to seeing your videos every Sunday along with your friends Tal and Mads, if I don’t see you my week starts out bad but I just look to see when you update and put out another video so I get my weekly dose of joy and inspiration I’ve enjoyed watching you ladies grow and learn new things and would live a meet and greet someday when your ready, I have so much to learn from your experiences and I am 67 years old. Keep up the great job your doing and love being a member of your pack, just wished I could buy you merchandise year round somewhere
Very special (and brave!) to hear you two talk so openly about all the subjects. A lot of respect for the both of you.
Thank you! Thanks for watching 💛
Finding joy each day is my mantra. Thank you for sharing your joy in each video. What you choose to share will always be enough. Continue to make each day count.
What a wonderful video. Thanks girls for sharing, and thanks Crystal for trusting us with information about your family and stuff. Lots of love for you two from Argentina ❤
Girls, never be afraid to be yourselves, you are wonderful together and it so shows through. I find your honesty so refreshing and just amazing, the world is & has changed and that is due to people like you girls, I see you are proud and you should be, I get you need to be safe but know most people now agree being happy and fulfilled is just what matters whatever shape that takes. Keep up the great work. Dave. Xx
You two are incredable. First come back to Squamish for the meet and greet-you've been here before because I saw your van and that's how my wife and I started watching your channel. Second don't let perfection stop construction of a project. Or words to that effect. Also, First Nations don't consider imperfections as flaws, they're "Spirit Marks". If either one of you looks at the other and thinks, " What a strong, muscular person, she is." It's nothing to what females can do with their bodies when they're pregnant. My first wife turned into a superhuman from being a very non-athletic person. Expect that, it's fantastical.
I do worry about people going anywhere in the States nowadays, unless you were a cis-straight couple. I remember when I was in my teen and 20's and no passport was required and it felt welcoming and safe down there. I'm glad you were safe and felt so in Florida.
Cheers from the Pacific West Coast of Canada.
I can’t believe you saw our van there 🥹 we will be back one day… thank you for sharing all of that with us!! Love it all 💛 Yes unfortunately you need to be weary about where you go these days. Enjoy spring on the west coast xx
I don't need to hear or see family or personal issues on the channel - you have the perfect right to keep parts of your life private! I just want to know that you are OK, and if you have a positive or difficult relationship. Don't need to know why. Glad to hear all the relationships are positive! Through all the difficulty, you both seem really blessed.
Thank you so much for the support… Appreciate you watching 💛
I am so totally proud of you two and in awe of all of your accomplishments! You girls rock!! ❤
Thank you so much 🥹 appreciate you tuning in on Sundays 💛
27:23 One of my favourite quotes is by Edwin Bliss:
The pursuit of excellence is gratifying and healthy; the pursuit of perfection is frustrating, neurotic, and a terrible waste of time.
I really enjoyed this Q&A. It did make me tear up, because the things the two of you talked about (especially your Mothers) really hit home with me. Thank you so much for sharing. 👍
You two bring out the best in each other. ❤❤
Aww how sweet of you to share. We agree. 💛🐶
Your love for each other comes through loud and clear in each video. It’s the reason I watch you; for a dose of love! Love from me on the Maine Coast!!
You make a great couple, just be yourselves and enjoy your life!
I was a single mum by no choice of my own, dad chose a different lifestyle that would not be beneficial to myself or our child.. my children are now 31,30 and coming up quads 30 th birthdays. And 13 soon to be 14 grandchildren. My life was tough being a single mum, I missed working, then people you know drift away. Life is what you make it.. we aren't financially secure, but that's OK, just living our life 😮😊
It is. sad that any of us have to be afraid of what others might think. You guys are such a neatest gals 🙂
As an American, I wish you hadn't chosen Florida for your winter escape. The current governor is relentlessly persecuting LGBT people and I hate for anyone to bring their money to such a horrible society. Baja sounds wonderful!
Going to rewatch for your view count, cant wait to see your future path and plans!
Thank you for the support Courtney 💛💛
@@Vanwives Anytime, thank you for being your amazing selves!
Totally understand your reasoning for not coming to Australia, but if your circumstances changed and you could, please do a meet and greet
Beautiful video, there was something in my eye for parts of it!
Thank you, You Two are An inspiration to us all. From diversity and hard times, You rose above it, To where you are. The most beautiful people you are today!
My group of six women friends are coming to Nova Scotia in July to camp - we dont have itinerary yet, would love your opinion of where to go!
I love the insight to your lives and what makes you, you!
This is the first time I heard that Jaz went to school to be a teacher… as a young teacher who isn’t finding the most joy, I have always found content like yours to be an escape or maybe even a window into a way I could live one day.
Thank you for doing what you guys do. You are so much more to me than content creators. You are truly role models, medicine, and joy!❤️
Teaching can be a challenge these days. Please know that there are many different forms of teaching. There is a whole world out there! Also remember, you have but one life...make sure you put your happiness at the top of the list. Good luck, you can do whatever you want!
6:00 I can help you editing your videos I’m currently editing videos for myself and want to see how other people do it for themselves.. 😅😊
I love when you do Q&As I feel like we get to know you more and your Journey through life, I also know how you feel about telling people who you love as I only came out 3 years ago and I’m still scared for people to know as I don’t know how people will react but I’m sure I will become braver as I get older. ❤
Just an idea. When building the second cabin, you should have other youtube friends come in and do a room. All of it! They make the furniture, decorate, etc. Then you call it their room. Would be great content for both channels.
Everyone always says this sort of thing and it's a terrible idea. Why would you leave the decor of each room to different people. The house would look so weird and disjointed.
@@Qrtuop They wouldn't be picking out random people. They'd have friends they knew and they could trust.
You love who you love. That's it. Nothing else counts. Passion gradually changes to warmth. That is the best part in any deep relationship, the warmth, the sharing, the caring. There are a lot of places in the world that have very different cultures, that are well worth the effort to visit, like Borneo, Bhutan, Myanmar (is spoilt), Kenya, Cambodia,Vietnam to name a few.
Thank you for sharing your beautiful words and feeling with us. 💛🐶
Two beautiful people. I love to watch the changes you have been making. Love it!
Max would be an excellent collaboration partner for kids 😉
I'm a 76 year old man and dont have kids. I was married once for 10 years but did not have theoption for kids. I have a good life but feel i've missed out on a lot of great time that i could have experienced.
You two have a great and beautiful family with each other and the dogsand don't need to change anything but i feel that when you are my age you'll wish you had kids whether naturally or adopted.
I've followed you lovely ladies since your beginning videos. Thank you for such a motuvating channel
I am so pleased to hear your future plans for the cabin, after all the hard work you both have put into. It saddens me knowing that it is obvious you love each other, and you can't show your feelings in public everywhere you go. Love should be freely given to nice people.
That is why I always say, love from Mike ❤❤
even though most of your fans are from california, I would LOVE a hometown meet and greet :O
Not being able to be yourself - and being uncomfortable in your relationship at times is really maddening and it made me stop the vlog - and write this. I'm teared up right now. Sometimes I hate the world we live in. I don't know... it just makes me sad.
I totally concur with your beautiful comment...but please...don't give any hateful energy to those little tiny specs of germs that unfortunately live amongst us and somehow pass as human beings. Keep being the awesome and wonderful person that you are, and know that people like you and the vanwives keep a large part of our world turning and functioning in the best way possible.❤❤❤
@@Justbeoktoday Awww - thank you. 💚💚💚
Pause this moment at the lake cabin, the names you both have received EPIC think about it. How Dramatic and Beautiful the Jasmine flower is and the Strength and majestic beauty of the Crystal ❤ Rockin Roll
LOVED this video! Thank you for sharing such personal things with us. You are strong and amazing!
Thank you for being here to listen 💛💛💛
When is the second cabin next to the lake starting ❤❤❤
You ladies are so, well to put it simply, special people. you make me laugh, cry and sometimes both. Love this pack of yours!
Awww thank you for being here 💛
I WAS TOLD BY AN ELDERLY COUPLE THAT WAS MARRIED FOR 67 YEARS, A TRUE SOULMATE IS ALL ABOUT GIVING TO THE OTHER. THEY HELD HANDS EVERY MARRIED DAY BUT 1 DUE TO UNFORSEEN CIRCUMSTANCES. IN THIS OLD MAN'S EYES, THAT IS U 2 FROM WHAT I SEE. LUV U BOTH.
We love the Big Brother Big Sister program! 👽💞✨ thanks for sharing and answering all them questions 🥰 really love watching you two ladies living off grid!
We love the Big Brother/Big Sister program we support them. 💛🐶
You should be able to love who you want regardless of gender, and i love who you both are.
You ladies are always welcome in Washington State! We support human rights and know that love wins!
Thanks Lady's for telling us how ur life has been.. lv from florida.
BBBS is a wonderful organization…I mentored a boy and 2 girls at school for about 12 years…my last girl I mentored from grade 2 til last year when she entered high school..this was done through Big Brothers, Big Sisters….love your channel and watching everything you two have accomplished…keep it up…stay safe and stay healthy…😊❤️🇨🇦
You two are inspirational. You have made yourselves vulnerable in what you share. I am a 70 year old female with a traditional marriage of 45 years. I feel like the future is hopeful with young people like you who reflect what is good in humanity.I started with your channel when you lived in a van and traveled in Mexico. The things that you have been able to do and build is amazing. Thank you.
Hi Jazz and Crystal! I’m a student in Peterborough and I’ve been watching your channel for well over a year now (as well as all videos prior - great to binge by the way when I needed a break from school😂). I live about 45 minutes from Hamilton. I know that you guys said your largest demographic is from California so it would make sense to do a meet and greet there, but would you ever consider doing one in Toronto? For the Canadian viewers?
I also super enjoyed this Q and A. I think that it’s nice to show that no one’s life is perfect and that a good, normal life can have huge ups and downs yet continue without letting certain things define our being. Thank you guys for always being you❤ Lots of love, Mia.
We would love to do meet and greets in as many cities and towns as we can.
We talk about California because we will be driving through on our way to Mexico next winter. Thank you for all your kind
words.💛🐶
I'VE SEEN YOU BOTH for years now, and there is real , IS LOVE, and authenticity, thank you both, only can say RESPECT to you 2 and a lot of LOVE too, thanks for sharing your life, is not easy and is brave, as you are, TY TY TY and thank you
🙏 🙏 To the person reading this, even though I don't know you. I wish you the best of what life has to offer 🙏 😊❤
About the publicly stating your relationship makes me sad. You do have allies. This reminds me of Tal and Mads talking about the publicly stating it just last week. Please realize the silent majority supports love.
We know there’s lots of love out there we experience it all the time, we have lots of support but the reality is there’s lots of hate and we do need to be careful. Thank you for watching and for spreading love 💛
We used to live Gulf Breeze!! Very pretty area.
Just an observation:
@naturenut7695 said, in part, “ I don’t know how you love people you’ve never met, but I do love you guys.”
That is the beautiful recurring theme from your pack to you. There is so much love and respect shown in the comments week after week and it fills my heart with joy!
We are so fortunate to have you guys share your journey with us. Thank you very much.!
It’s so true!! So much love and respect… we are overwhelmed with the kindness and support- love this community!! So grateful
Thank you for being here 💛
Thanks for the single parent shoutout. I struggle every day and am particularly struggling right now. I think there needs to be more compassion for single parents and their kids.
Totally get the reluctance to take on a big flight to Australia. When we fly to the other side of the world there is that stress around being so far away, especially leaving sick/aging relatives etc but I hope you can make it, even just to hang out at Max’s for a week xx
Thank you so much for watching! Sending you so much love and strength!!!! 💛 we will make it to Aussie one day soon xx
I really liked your take on conflict and learning how to ‘fight better’ rather than avoiding it all together. As a man who is happily married for over 15 years, I couldn’t agree more and wanted to let you know that this resonated with me.
Congratulations on your happy marriage! Thanks for sharing with us.💛🐶
❤❤ Thank you for sharing! Go4it!
Love all your videos. It was empowering to hear about your feelings about people asking if you are sisters. We get that a lot, and we evaluate whether we feel safe to tell people we are a couple. Sometimes they ask if we are BFFs. For a lot of people that is all they need to know. We are BFFs as well as life partners. We have been married for over 23 years, without a fight.
The pack is my favorite to watch each week.
Now, I'm amazed at your strength and perseverance to create an even better relationship. People are ambivalent and about-face to say they understand relationships, so for all of us uneducated about the loving relationship you share, I can only
give us a chance to learn from you guys.
momemnt,
Kids deserve you!
Thanks
Aww Kevin thank you so much for all your kindness. We are happy to have you in our pack. 💛🐶
I loved your video. I have been in a relationship with my female partner for 34 years. We met in our 20’s and 14 years in we had children. We were blessed with twins one girl, one boy. It’s been the greatest gift of our lives. Your relationship reminds me so much of what we went through. It’s kind of like building a homestead. You just jump in use your skill set and it may not always be perfect but it is what you created. Love to you both! Follow your heart.
We just read this comment together over dinner… really beautiful thank you so much for sharing with us 💛 made our day
@@Vanwivesour kids are now young adults 21 and life just keeps getting better. Please reach out if you have any questions about the process. We had help along the way so would love to pay it forward.
I sooo love this video. I don't know how you love people you never met but I do love you guys. We have so much in common in some ways and then ways I would like to have in common with you all. You are living a life that one day when you turn 70 or 80 and you look back there's nothing to regret you did it all. When you get the new cabin finished if you ever decide to rent it out I'll be there. As always thanks for taking us along for the ride!
You guys are incredible. From one gay parent to you guys - it is so scary but it is the best thing ever also. You nailed it when you said “to give them a life you don’t have”. Thank you for being so vulnerable to the world and to us viewers! You are loved.
I would like to say as I have always had to travel for work for my company. Three years ago my daughter found your channel and asked me to watch it when I was home with her and it has definitely changed my life I’m a better father and husband an I have my baby girl back an I have a new perspective on family an life an I just want to thank you ladies an look forward to all of your videos with my daughter wile we eat popcorn an have a soda love ya ladies
On trying for kids, you go for it. You will make amazing parents and growing up in the wilds will be the most amazing of experiences for them. Head on over to Denmark, it's extremely normalised and the clinics are world class. You will face no discrimination here, not even a raised eyebrow. It's also not unusual for women to have multiple children from the same donor over many years, many of the clinics have an open register so you can even start looking before heading over. Only thing, as Denmark is something of a destination for it, any children may find themselves with a couple of half siblings spread across Europe (most likely UK).
Dear ladies I am an open minded 72 years old father of three. Italian by birth but spent 35 years in South Africa. Married twice and being in good term with my ex and her partner. I am back in italy and have followed you for a while with great pleasure. Treasure the relationship that you have. Be proud of what you have achieved. If you were my daughters I certainly would be very proud of you. Be waiting for you next video. Ciao
A meet and greet would be great in los angeles I would so be there

Hi ladies , those were some very heartfelt questions. Some really tugged at the heart ❤️ strings . Yall are wonderful women . I wish you both the very best in life. Yall will be amazing moms . The earlier the better , Patience start to wear the older you get. Good luck to you both.
My husband and I have been following you girls for years now. We live in Ontario but travel to Nova Scotia several times every summer to visit family and we have spent our last two winters in Mexico. We’re RVers. We always keep an eye out for you. If we ever see you, you bet we’ll say hi!
Well hopefully you will see us someday soon. 💛🐶
Wow! Inspirational! I cried a couple times. Love you guys!
Ladies, I've been off of UA-cam for 6 months. I had become addicted to it. Missed you 2 alot has happened. I can't wait to see where you take us next. Love and light to you both. ❤
Welcome back 💛 thank you! Enjoy the content you’ve missed
Love you both for being real and how much you love each other. You both are amazing and not afraid to work hard. Love your dogs . You both would be great moms.😊
Of the MANY channels I follow on UA-cam, yours is honestly the most enjoyable (in my humble opinion, of course!). Your honesty and vulnerability are truly remarkable. Our daughter (almost 20 years old) is halfway through university and just “growing wings” and I truly hope she follows her heart as you both have! Thanks for sharing your journey with the world and for keeping it real, in the most amazing way! You really do inspire people and that is maybe one of the most important things anyone could ever do.
What an exciting chapter for your daughter and all of you! Thank you so so much 💛
Yup, that’s a fine, strong relationship right there … “learning to fight better” … the truth, indeed. I totally love and admire your work, go you guys!! 🎉😊
Thanks Roy 💛
Sorry you can’t make it to Australia currently. But I’m sure there will be a time in the future when you can. And there might be even more done at Max’s for you both to enjoy when the time comes. 😊
I was a single mum while my children were teenagers. Thanks for talking about this and adoption. It’s an important discussion. You girls will be the most amazing parents when it happens.
Love the Mav jackets. 😊
