I'm so glad that your year has ended up as a positive one, after all the sadness and distress it started with. To have come out the other side in the way that you have needs courage and determination, and I sincerely hope that 2024 will bring you peace and contentment. Very best wishes from the UK. (my son lives in NZ, and I love it too)
I'm so glad things have finally settled down for you and your family! 😊 What a tumultuous year it's been. Just curious have you thought about showing William less on videos as he gets older? Asked with the kindest of intentions xx
Definitely! I’m really pulling back on filming both of them. Honestly I rarely ever show them on Instagram but on UA-cam it harder to not film them when I’m trying to document my whole day and they’re with me 100% of the time.
Kia Ora Becca. Good to see you looking happy. What doesn't kill us makes us stronger. I've been to many countries in the world, and I found BC to be the most like NZ, in terms of beauty and places to live. The people are pretty cool too. Vancouver Island is particularly nice, and worth a trip some time. I think Canada is a good place to be when you see such turmoil in the US. Hope you have a great 2024.
I'm glad to see you are excited about doing more videos! You are so enthusiastic about whatever topic you do. You and Billy are making lots of memories with your children! I'd sure like to see a future video or two about Billy and the French Horn. I hope 2024 turns out for you and your family to be the best year ever!
it's so nice to hear that things are going well for you and your family after your nightmare of a year. Vancouver looks like a lovely place. Would love to see it someday Hope you're missing NZ just a little bit. .😄 Best wishes for 2024. and hope thing just get even better. Thanks for sharing the good and the bad stuff.
I share my whole life - good and bad - because I wouldn’t know what else to share 😂 and you should definitely come visit Vancouver! It’s incredible here (but so is NZ)
Without hard times I don't think we would appreciate good times as much. One thing that makes me feel wonderful is giving back. Whether it be donations to a hospice care or women's shelter or baking muffins for an elderly neighbor it makes me feel happy & grateful.
I completely agree! You need the lows to feel the highs. I just hate the scariness of everything with having kids. But glad we’re on the other side of it all now! And same - being given so much makes me constantly look at how I can give to everyone around me 😊 it’s a good feeling!
What a beautiful summary of the year and how inspiring. It's great that you are so positive, you say that your followers give you a lot but you also give us joy and good examples. I know next year is going to be great for you. Happy new year and thanks for sharing.
Great to see you looking so positive after such a challenging year, an unfortunate but unseen aspect of being (married to) a professional classical musician. You are lucky to have such a sunny disposition and for your travels to have taken you to two world class cities. Although at opposite sides of the Pacific, Auckland and Vancouver seem to have much in common, not least their historical links to Britain including the character of their people. Both built around harbours, having beautiful hinterland with many opportunities for adventure and, for you, plenty of op shops.
This is all character building that will shape you and your family. You will look back on this in years to come as an adventure and experience not many have had. Look at it like this, your a modern day digital nomadic family that has itchy feet trying to find your way, maybe that's back in NZ? Either way your adventures as a family are inspiring to others , I know I have seen your channel and family grow-kia kaha stay strong
Thank you for this 🥰 I feel like every time we settle and figure out life something comes and knocks us off our feet and we have to completely refigure everything out. But at least we’re learning a lot along the way!
Lovely to see you back Becca. Enjoyed your video and pleased to feel the renewed excitement you have for creating content. May 2024 be nourishing and all you wish it to be for you and your gorgeous family. Happy 2024 🎆💟
What a rollercoaster year! Some beautiful gems amongst it all though! Seeing William grow into such a lovely little man! And welcoming Clara into the world 🌻
Thank you so much for sharing with all of us, so so many of us had a difficult '2023. So good to hear how wonderful it all worked out for ypur family ❤ We just fpund your channel, and are loving watching your videos, my sister lives in NZ, 1/1/2024 Best wishes for a happy healthy prosperous New Year 🧡
WHAT A YEAR! 2023 definitely wasn't an easy year for a lot of people (including me) but I feel like yours hit at totally other level! Were you entitled to financial support from NZ or the USA during those hard months at least? I'm so happy for you that evrything just worked out so beautifully in the end and it brings a lot of perspective to everything. Keep up the good work!
No financial support from NZ or US. We were lucky to have a nice little savings saved up, but on the other hand it sucks that we used up most of our savings 😂

Thanks for this 💕 I’m hoping 2024 is nice and “boring” 🥰

Make a video on weight lifting! Also a video on what you traveled around with.
If anyone else is interested I would love to!

I don’t know how we got so lucky to have ended up here! It really is so similar in a lot of ways to NZ. We love it here 💕
I'm glad to see you are excited about doing more videos! You are so enthusiastic about whatever topic you do. You and Billy are making lots of memories with your children! I'd sure like to see a future video or two about Billy and the French Horn. I hope 2024 turns out for you and your family to be the best year ever!
That would require Billy to want to do a movie about the horn 😂 good luck with that!

Yay! Glad you’re back Becca! What a great idea to do a whole year review and how you felt about it.
I love doing these at the end of the year. It’s a perfect time for reflection and to see how much we’ve accomplished!
Lovely to see you online again 💕
It’s so fun being back 🥰

Happy new year to you too! I’m feeling great about 2024! And that is such a nice thing to say - I haven’t really thought about it that way 🥰

You are exactly right! It’s uncanny the similarities between the two places!
✨🙏✨wonderful watching your journey ✨🙏✨thanks for sharing…All the best for 2024
My hope for 2024 is BORING 🥰

Here’s to a wonderful 2024 too!
To the both of us!!
I am happy for you that you are growing your hair because you have such beautiful hair!!!
Thanks!! Billy tells me I should cut my hair every other day 😂 I needed to hear this 🧡
I'm with you! Let your beautiful hair grow! Your hair is like a fairy tale princess!
Lovely to see you back Becca. Enjoyed your video and pleased to feel the renewed excitement you have for creating content. May 2024 be nourishing and all you wish it to be for you and your gorgeous family. Happy 2024 🎆💟
Happy new year to you too! Excited for the growth to come 😊

Thank you! You too!
I'm sure 2024 will be so much better for you and your family! Great to know you will keep making videos . Best wishes from Madrid, Spain.
Let’s hope! 😂 I can’t handle another 2023. I want this year to be boring 🙌🏼

Oh sweet! What part of NZ does she live? And 2023 was hard but we’re on the other side of it all now! Hoping for a boring 2024 😂

Glad it ended up better, but please stop saying you “win” an audition. Your husband earned it. He worked really hard for it. So do the other musicians
Which is why musicians say “win.” They beat everyone else and won the spot. I’m using their words.
