Such a beautiful video Christine! ❤😭 Thank you for sharing so beautifully about both the good days and the harder days 🙏🏻 Much love to you, Kalle and the cute dogs 😘
Dear Christine, this is one my favourite videos so far. So true, transparent and with such a beautiful message behind it. Our mindset is definitely a big part of the game... thank you for reminding us of that. I think it applies to every lifestyle. Thank you thank you, you beautiful soul 🌟
You were so honest when you said that upon your return your were still living the city life. People always believe it is so idyllic and romantic living in a cabin but they do not realise that you spend most of winter bringing logs inside just to stay warm and for cooking with which is a challenge. It is difficult to make adjustments when we have been bought up with everything at our fingertips. Living in one room whilst the roof is undergoing repairs is a struggle at the best of times. Tempers get short and people argue etc. The weather will I hope soon bring spring to you and then the warmer summer months will follow and the roof will be fixed! Sending virtual hugs to you from the UK.
Oh Thank you so much Sophie! And yes, I want to be honest about, what I am feeling -I love when others also share there true self ❤️ And yes, I am looking so much forward to spring now 🙈 Thank you for watching, that means a lot ❤️ Much Love C
It's never just where you are, geographically, it's also where you are in your head. How wonderful to be where you want to be both geographically and mentally, as well as emotionally.
I also live in a cabin in the middle of the forest, but in the Colorado Rocky Mountains. I agree with you about simple living being a state of mind-especially when you have to stay connected to technology for work, and all of the work stressors come along with that. Your video was a good reminder for me to take some time to disconnect, so I appreciate that :)
Hi Miss Christina. (we) here in Montreal, live in 1 room as well. The bedroom is the other, and I make use of it as often as I can. I read, listen to podcasts, laying in bed, and napping during the day. Making 1 room work takes (work). I know. Get outside, breathe some air, when things get testy with Kalle. Don't loose your cookies. I see Nala has grown a lot in the past few months. You will figure out the rhythm. Be patent with yourself and Kalle. Hang in there. Greetings from Montreal.
I’m always so happy when you upload a video, there’s just this sense of authenticity that makes me admire all the different aspects of your personality that I’ve seen so far. Someone commented that it feels as if they’ve been friends with you for a long time and that’s how it feels. Your videos are like catching up with a friend for coffee or wine and always make me feel grateful for what I have and the experiences yet to come. I love you and kalle together, you’re such a sweet and fun couple, and yet you both have individual traits that are so admirable. I just wish you and your little family the very best for the future
Oh wauw - Thank you so much Zoë for this sweet sweet comment! Oh you made me so happy, it warms my heart ☺️❤️ And thank you so much for watching, that means a lot. So much Love Christine
The honesty shown in this video is very much appreciated. The chaotic situation around the house, the joys of having a warm shower ... i love the see more of these realistic things on this platform. Not just from people that chose simple living in the woods, but also from e.g. vanlife channels. Too often it's all glam and roses that is shown, but i'd love to see how couples cope with the limited space when it's raining for several weeks, how they manage their lifes in these super tiny spaces like using the toilet in front of the significant other or especially when it comes to menstruation etc - the vast majority just doesn't talk about it. Therefore i'd been very happy that you spoke so openly about your own challenge with this topic in Kalles video a while ago. Thank you Christine for bringing honesty to this platform in such a lovely way.
Thank you for this video and sharing your thoughts. I love the authenticity all the way through. And it also shows so much that no matter our circumstances or surroundings; true happiness always comes from within. As you said: "simple living is a state of mind". There may be things and material objects that spark joy in us, but there's cearly a difference between lasting happiness and just pleasure. Of course, finding inner happiness can be a challenging path, but if we are precious with our time and who we spend it with, start being comfortable with ourselves in stillness (meditation can help), seek to live in alignment with our values, knowing our values, and live a healthy and balanced life, happiness might not be as abstract as it seems.
You are gemstone, so precious to the earth and irreplaceable. You turned a life I once hated to a life I can't wake and film because of your healing videos, The world is blessed simply because you are in it. ☀️🌈🌿
Aww Thank you so so much for this sweet comment, it went straight to my heart ❤️ You just have the biggest smile right now. So much Love and a Big hug Christine
Welcome home. Sometimes we need to let go and surrender to the situation to really appreciate it. I have used your vlog to find a little place of peace in your lovely surroundings. Thank you for sharing the realness, I really do value that.
Christine, the scenes of the beautiful landcape and sky made my heart soar. I loved that you described the silence. I don't think that city dwellers or even most people in the world today have ever experienced true silence . Thank you!
I think it’s so important to speak up about the struggles of the simple life.. Looking at some videos on UA-cam people sometimes romanticize it too much... when it’s mostly so much of a hard work! But it’s so worth it! 😌 stay strong Christine :) and keep making those beautiful videos ;)
I think it is so important to show ALL sides of this lifestyle. It is not all beautiful and easy. Just the basic needs can be such a challenge. Thank you for your honesty.
These are the kind of videos I like to watch after a rough day. Nature, calmness.. and beautiful music too. Christine, your videos bring me joy🌲❄️🌻 And you’ve only just begun! I can’t wait for the next one. Much love from The Netherlands
OMG, Nala has gotten so big! What a beauty she is! 💜 Your honesty is very refreshing and appreciated. Most people on UA-cam and social media only show the "pretty" side of everything. I prefer reality, so thank you for sharing that. There is beauty in that which is real, even when it tells the story of hardship. 🙏
Beautiful video, as usual! Sorry to hear you're having a challenging time, but it also so great that you're sharing the struggles with us. It's good to get to see the realness of your life.
This was so enchanting and yet so real and truthful, that my eyes started watering. I just realised, deeply, truly and wholeheartedly, how much I want to live my life likewise as well. My heart is just longing for it. I can't wait until I am grown up and ready to pack my suitcase and leave the urban life in my city, and live there with my dearest people but yet with myself. Oh Christie, you don't know what an inspiration you are! Thank you so much!
Love this!! Exactly what I’ve been feeling. Specifically when you said you’re in a cabin but still living in the city inside. Something I am working on. Simplifying my mind 🤍
Your forest looks like paradise in the snow. Christine, I can understand your frustration. I really appreciate your sharing the highs and the lows with us. Your story feels more real this way. i hope you will be able to upgrade to running water in your sink and a shower this spring. Less time boiling water and worrying about hygiene will free up your time to enjoy your beautiful, scenic home.
Oh I love your message in this video. "Simple living doesn't mean simple life". Thank you for sharing, and thank you for being vulnerable with the challenges and emotional impact it has :). And yeah, anything for the views :D :D. Made me smile :).
Finding our Silence and reversing our habit from 'doing' to 'let Nothing/Being do' is THE Journey. Beautiful Christine, thank you for sharing your struggles and your triumphs so honestly with us. 😘
How lovely you are. The title of your video is perfect. You don't have to live in a remote wilderness to live a simple life, you can live a simple life anywhere, if we can stay grounded, quiet and open to all the beauty around. Thank you for your sweet videos and I look forward to seeing more and how your spread you wings and fly in those beautiful surroundings, with your loves by your side.
I like how you said, the simple life is a state of mind. I live in the countryside, but it's not very remote. I have had to find simplicity inside myself, because there is a lot of rush and need to stay busy around me. Taking each day at a slower pace feels so much more natural and healthy.
The quietness of living in a forest brings such relief from the busy world we live in. I lived on a sailboat for 25 years, so moving into a log cabin was such a change for me. Making changes in our lives can have it challenges, but the rewards are far beyond what I expected. Take Care Ernest
A sailboat!! Oh that sounds amazing as well. A home, you can take with you. You are right, I know this just will make me so much wiser and stronger 💚 Love C
Well done Christine on your channel, it's a joy to watch. The thumbnail pictures are EPIC! So beautiful 😍 and thank you for your honesty. Real life can be different from what we portray, and it was good of you to share the struggles. I could totally relate when you said being a good girl means being busy all the time. I often feel like that and it can be exhausting - having a neat clean home, working, being married, and trying to enjoy our beautiful surroundings here on the west coast of Scotland - it can be overwhelming to try and fit everything in! So it's good to be reminded to take time out for yourself and rest 💗
I'm so sorry that you were away from home for so long, but I hope that the nature around you replenished your soul 💚 Thank you for showing both the tough and beautiful sides of life, hugs from Texas ♥
This is soo beautiful Christine...your message resonates profoundly for me. I got away from the city because the rhythm drove me to burn out...but I seem to be at that point again whilst living in the countryside...I think you are right, I brought my city life expectations on myself with me. Keep telling your story please, it is so important ❤️
I've been longing so much for a new video from you 😍❤️ You create amazing movies that become miracles. I hope more people discover your channel because you are worthy of all happiness and success 😍❤️ We are many who are very quick to judge and criticize ourselves because everything does not go as we intended. That we do not have the strength we want. That we do not perform as much as we "should" - according to ourselves. That's why it's super important that we keep reminding ourselves - and each other! - that we live in systems, in norms and structures, which are far much larger than ourselves. Stress and burnout are public health problems, not individual problems. It's not you, it's the system. We all have different paths to walk to be happy and find harmony, prosperity, satisfaction and meaningful life. My tip is to try to relax more and lower your expectations and demands on yourself. Exclude factors that make you feel unwell. ❤️❤️ Do not forget that we love you for who you are and that YOU are more than good enough! ❤️❤️Live with Passion !
I saw that you will have a bathroom in future. That's great! My wife and I moved out to a cottage in a remote place also, but we are not really going for extrem simplicity. I have great respect for young people like you guys, leaving the city to a small cabin in the north, without running in-door water and so on. Respect! But, having running hot water in the house make such a HUGE difference in life quality. We also have sauna, past summer we built a very modern kitchen as well - wow! It is so fantastic to enjoy comfort inside house but when you open the door to outside, you step out to solitude and untouched nature with surroundings that one could feel been unchanged in, like, 1000 years. This contrast is so magic in my opinion.
Oh that is what I dream about one day, the contrast 💚☺️ I learning valuable lessons right now, but I do not want to continue like this - But from this, I will never take the hot water for granted again, that I am actually thankful for. Sounds like you are living in a beautiful spot as well. Much Love C
So lovely to see you again! I am amazed at the beauty there every time I see your videos...what a fairyland for sure! Thank you for sharing, 💜 love those dogs so much...they are sweet angels 💜 I always look forward to your vlogs and Kalle too...you guys are wonderful! 🙏❄️
So many true words. It seems many that lives in the sparsely populated areas still have the urban "way of life" as the norm. I would say that leads to unhappiness. I live in the sparsely populated areas because it is NOT the city. /Mathias
It's such a good feeling to hear you just speak about what real simple life is. It takes effort and especially it takes the right state of mind 🙏. Not easy but still good.
Christine, the sound of your voice is like an angel. You are as beautiful as your surroundings and I could never tire of watching you. You deal with the hardships with complete grace.
It is so beautiful out there, that makes me like your honesty even more! Who says that you can't have those feelings, because you chose this life yourself! Living in a city is full of adjusting and trying not to let busy city life get to you. It is the same here, only without the noise.
Thank you for being so honest about the ups and downs. I am Canadian , living now in Mallorca and can relate to your winters which I love dearly. It makes me homesick but I know how hard this can be. Hang in there and keep sharing your simple joys!!!!
A lovely video Christine. I'm not sure that I could live as you and Kalle do, but I admire your lifestyle choice. In time you will be able to add luxuries and comfort to the cabin, and you will look back at these days with a wistful nostalgia !
thank you so much for this video. I can feel totally with you. This was the first complete winter for me in Sweden. Although we´re not living a simple life like you do, it´s much more simple than my life in Germany has been...with central heating and all the modern comfort. I felt so stressed in January...even though I had no real stress. And also my husband and me argued a lot, about nothing. But when I realized that it´s me and my German-living-mindset that stressed me, it got much better. I also was not used allowing me just to do nothing. But I´m learning it. It´s still a work in progress ;-) I´m patient with myself. A mindset that has been lived for 28 years cannot be changed in a few weeks. Be glad that you are already wiser than me at almost 49 years :-) I wish you all the best and I really enjoy your work. Big hug from Västernorrland
Hi Susanne ☺️❤️ Thank you so much for sharing your story as well, it is so nice to hear, that you are not alone in these feelings. Send you are Big Hug C
I cannot wait for your womens club to start! Today I watched all your video's for a second time. I have tears in my throat just for watching you forfill your dreams, eventhough it is not always easy. Thank you for sharing with us. Big hug from the Netherlands
Oh you are so sweet!! Thank you so much ❤️ And it making me so happy, that you ask about the women club, cant wait to share it with you guys 😍 Big Hug C
It is very nice to see you and Kalle doing videos even when things aren't amazing for you. It's been a long cold winter here in Canada and it feels isolating sometimes, but just seeing others go through the same thing is comforting. Things are starting to warm up now and we are very much happy for the spring and summer. It will be a very good summer and I look forward to continue watching your journey :)
Very beautiful video! It is nice to hear your honest thoughts and I am happy that you have found a place to shower until the bathroom is built. Even when I am camping in my little camper, I have a little shower. I know people say you don't need to shower every day but I don't feel good if I don't have that one amenity. It is the one convenience, well and a place to keep warm and dry! I can deal with the rest I think. Such beauty with the snow in the trees and running with Nala.
Thank you so much! ☺️❤️ And yes, I feel the same, everything in this house is different, so my shower is important to keep the balance ☺️ Thank you so much for your sweet comment. Big Hug C
I just want to say thank you for taking the time to share some of your wisdom on herbs and teas, and cacoa. Please, take this as a big encouragement to keep sharing these things and good habits. Much love and appreciation from Virginia, USA.
Hi Christine the warmth you're charing and spread around you makes us forgetting about the cold and icy - but also - beautiful winter. Your new video is simple and beautiful. Have fun, keep warm. 😚
Another beautiful video Christine. Allow yourself the grace to adjust to your new life. Living is going to be so different throughout each season and you need to allow yourself time to figure it all out. It is all so very different from what you’re used too. Take care of yourself and enjoy your beautiful home and lifestyle💕💕💕💕
Thank you so much Sara ☺️❤️ And yes, it is so true, this lifestyle is always different, it change with the season, so all of it is new all the time - and I have to get used to that ☺️ Thank you for your comment. Much Love C
Simple doesn’t mean easy especially in the winter months for where you are. It’s an adjustment and you’ve done a huge one for your health and for me you look amazing 🤩 even though it’s challenging it’s good for you. I think both you and kalle are stressed figuring out how to adjust and how best to do things to your best abilities. Always talk about the hard times and celebrate the good it’s what makes us human xxx
I finally got around to watching this. My life has been so hectic lately, but your videos bring a sense of calm so I’m glad I got to watch it today. Thank you for your honesty, it is refreshing to see. Much love to you all 💙
Such a beautiful video Christine! Your honesty and the wonderful scenery footage made me feel emotional. In a good way. Find your own peaceful routine and pace within the challenges life is presenting. You can do this Christine, this fase will lead to something better. It's all a learning process. Thanks so much for this wonderful video! 🙏🏻 Lots of love to you, Kalle and the wonderful doggies! 💜💙💚💛🧡❤️
I nearly cried to myself when you said that doing good things for yourself is its own type of to-do list... I needed to hear that so desperately 😭💚 And YES thank you for sharing with us how challenging this life can be, as beautiful and fulfilling as it is - living in the forest in the winter without our usual comforts can be it's own full time hustle, leaving little room for enjoyment of other things, which can create stress... It's always a balance of everything but it seems like you are doing a wonderful job! I am almost done a video about my time up north here in Canada and it was sometimes exhausting staying in the cabin for so long. You are a breath of fresh air. I love seeing your life, struggles and victories and passion for sharing wellness with the world. Thank you thank you thank you 💜
Oh wauw, Thank you! What a sweet comment, you made me so happy ❤️ And you are also living in a cabin ☺️ I am glad, that I am not the only one there sometimes can feel exhausted - thank you for sharing. Big hug C
Thank you so much for your beautiful and authentic videos, Christine! Also: Thank you for sharing your knowledge. I watched your video yesterday in the evening and started this day with a cup of green tea instead of coffee. :D Whishing you and Kalle all the best. ❤️
Really, I love that 😍💚 That is actually a new thing, I am thinking doing in my videos, giving some knowledge boks next to some of my food, drinking ect. think that could be a fun thing for your guys? Thank you so much for your sweet comment ❤️ Much Love C
@@ChristineKjaer I really like it and would be super happy if you would share more of it in your future videos. I bet we can all learn a lot from you! :) Thank you so much for your really nice response. ❤️ All the best, Lina
I can feel you, Christine ♥︎ The simple life can really be tough in winter, especially in the north where winter is so long. But I am sure you will manage all your challenges. And I want to say that you are really a great filmmaker!! Sending you love from Norway! Kiri ♥︎
Ohhh Christine 🥰 Beautiful video, perfection!!!! I feel we are living parallel lives in a way. Even though it wasn’t the same I was stuck in CA away from Greg for 3 months. I wish I could send you a ton of our water here, the tropics are warm. We don’t actually live anywhere at the moment and it’s very stressful. I love that you’re filming in this beautiful snow, I wish I could be in it so badly! You look beautiful and peaceful. Sending you and Kalle love. Stay strong my friend!!!!
Hi sweet Kristen ❤️ Oh I am wondering how you are, hope everything is a bit easier. Yes that must be so stressful, are you guys together again? You should come and experience it some day ❄️🌲 I send you tons of Love and a Big hug ❤️❤️
@@ChristineKjaer Oh thank you!! I just mixed my cacao with chai green tea and it tastes amazing! You got me hooked on cacao hehe. We are together again, thankfully. I hope you’re doing ok!!! Would LOVE to come experience the snow ❄️ Maybe when this pandemic is over we all will actually get to meet someday! Really looking forward to seeing your spring time videos too. Sending you love from Key West, 💖
@@ChristineKjaer That would be so much fun!! We will make it happen someday. 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰 Hugs to you, hoping you are able to expand outside of one room soon. The cabin is beautiful 😻
Dear Christine, After a long day at school your video was what I needed to calm down a bit. I think it is very brave of you to show us both the good and the bad sides of living a simple life in the middle of the woods. Your words warmed my heart and I am looking forward to follow your journey. Sending much love and a warm hug from Germany 💕
My heart was beatting so hard when i realized I had a new video in your chanel, I missed you, hope youre doing great now, ups and downs are always part of our journey, and you're so right, we sometimes need to do nothing in order to find our place again. I LOVED IT 😌💗🤗
Oh my goodness, what breathtakingly beautiful scenery you have captured of the magical Winter surroundings where you live! ❄ The snow covered trees look like something out of a fairy land, as it doesn't snow where I live. I have just discovered your channel Christine and I look forward to watching more of your videos. Karen from Australia 🇦🇺 🌞
Oh Thank you so much Karen ☺️❤️ And yes, it is like a fairytale land when it looks like that 😍 But Australia - I really hope I one day can experience Australia ☺️ So much Love C
@@ChristineKjaer You would be very welcome in Australia Christine! 😊🌞🏖🌊🐬🐠🦋 ... the scenery is such a contrast to Sweden though, which is why I am really enjoying your beautiful nature filming/photography around where you live 🙂❄🌲 ... simply stunning to watch and really calming after some stressful days, too - so thank you so very much! 👍🤗❤ x
I just found you after watching many of Kallens videos. Tuning in from the US. Your realistic view and determination to adjust to simple life are very inspiring. Thank you!☺️
Thank you so much for your nice video...so inspiring..🙂 I am french, my husband is norwegian and we immigrated to Canada in 2005 with our 2 boys.It was not easy every day but now we are so happy to live there...with love....Pascale....❤️
Thank you so much Pascale, it really makes me happy, that you like the video ❤️ Oh wauw, that is also a big jump to take, very inspiring ☺️ Much Love C
I'm happy you're past those struggles and you enjoy the cabin life! And yes.. every life has it's own struggles but it's all good as long as they finish well. Shower scene Kalle made os funny... I love your sincere laughter :).
Thank you so much Krassi ❤️☺️ And yes, we all have our struggles, and we can learn from each other, if we are sharing it. Thank you so much for watching. Big Hug
So love your honesty. Although we used to live about 15 minutes apart. We are in the total south of Europe for two months. As we are moving towards a new integrated life together. Temporarily staying in a home with a living room, where we both do our work. There is no internet in the bedroom. We are evolving... And it is going better and sometimes it's very challenging. It's hard to have nog privacy. Yet it's lovely to be together. Such good advice to just stop and take time for ourselves. I think we women need that especially... to get back into our power. Feel like I at least have one person in this world who gets it. Love your video's and the beautiful winter wonderland. Lot's of love, Vi
Thank you so much for your sweet comment, and telling me your story as well - it sounds like, you know what I am talking about ☺️❤️ So nice to know, that you are not alone. Big hug C
Love the video Christine :) I love that you are sharing both the good and the bad, very inspiring! And the message about a simple life being a state of mind is so true.
This is absolutely wonderful Christine. Thank you for sharing the beauty and the challenges. It takes time to adjust to be kind to yourself. I’ve only known living in the woods so the city for me is scary and unknown. Your narration is beautiful. We have beautiful deep snow winters too. We have a channel as well but I won’t spam you channel with it. Keep on keeping on and Spring will soon be here. Our seasons coordinate with yours very close. 🙋♀️🕯☕️❄️
Amazing first 10 seconds - Honesty all the way through. Be true to yourself, the only thing you should never stop chasing is your dreams. The rest should be done at a pace your comfortable with.
Beautiful video Christine!! Thank you for being so honest and so real, it is refreshing on social media to see real people coming over real challenges!Much love :)
beautiful beautiful video and storytelling! thank you so much! it really inspires me. and thanks for being honest about the realities of living in the cabin in the forest.
Very beautiful video, as are all of those you have created so far. I love the message you shared about simple living being a mindset and the importance of slowing down - how helpful this was for me right now in my life. Thank you for sharing with us from your heart, your authenticity is inspiring.
What a beautiful video! I'm new to this channel, but I had to subscribe right away. I live near a city, but I watch videos of people living simple lives close to nature, and I dream about being able to do that someday. The idea that simple living is a state of mind is such a wonderful thing because it means that someone like me can embrace that mindset, even if I don't live in a beautiful forest.
I was looking forward for your new video, Christine. I am so thankful for sharing your life with all of its aspects. Please continue to make these videos. Because spreading inspiration for more fullfilled ways of life is so important now. I wish strenght to you and Kalle to finish your home 💕
Thank you so much for saying that ❤️ It makes me really happy, that you like it. I like to share these real things as well, and yes it is important. Much Love C
Dear and Beautiful Christine, I loved 💙 this video of you.... Your Honesty, your red cheeks (!) ad the end and the sound of your voice laughing (good for every soul! Oh, and the music 🎵 underneath this video really took me away to far away places (with lots of snow and Northern Sun) 😇 THank you!!
Welcome back❤️ thank you again for this video, the winter looks so sparkling and so did you 😊 even when it was challenging ❄️ best wishes and enjoy the moments till spring arrives.
Yeey I love these types of channels, glad I found another one! Of course every channel is unique, but I mean the wintery / nature channels... wonderful!
Such a beautiful video Christine 🤩🤗 We have watched all of your videos and feel so connected to your story 🙏🏼❤️ The way of you keeping it real and true is so inspirational and inspiring ☺️ We can’t wait to follow more of you journey with Kalle 🏡❤️ All the best from Denmark - Kristina and Daniel
Wonderful video, I love your honest opinion about your lifestyle and that’s good that you realised that simple life is a bit different as living in the house with heating system and running water :) and of course it is the best decision to be happy about your life ... even it’s quite hard in the winter. Thank you for the video and hugs from Estland. We have also still snow in the garden ...waiting spring
I enjoyed watching this video so much, thank you for sharing the ups and the downs of your beautiful lifestyle. It's so heartening to see how you both live, in this consumer driven world - it makes me feel very inspired :)
Hi Christine! Your videos are very soothing and enjoyable. You do such wonderful narration and have such a beautiful camera presence. The winter scenes are stunning. We live in deep snow country and it looks that way after a storm. Thanks for the awesome video. We have a small channel. Within the last year we began making videos about life in the Keweenaw. We have been inspired by Jonna, Isabelle Paige, Leena, Kalle and now you as well. Thank you for that.
Beautiful videography... stunning environment...this "story" is soul food. Thank you for sharing your bare heart, it is rare in today's society and thus it is magically inspiring. May you both and your home be blessed with Love, Contentment, and those life lessons that help you to to grow. Xo from Canada
Thank you for sharing your amazing location and honest thoughts. Life can be challenging even when it seems everything should be going well. I'm glad you made it back to Sweden!
First I was only watching cottage fairy & hannahlee, then found Jonna, Isabel, Talasbuan &, then lately I subscribed to Leena, now it's you Christine. Wow, it's like I'm travelling in the world & feeling cold with all the snow just by watching your videos 😂 - Much Love from the tropical country,Philippines (where ice & snow is just a dream for someone like me who has not experienced it yet.) Wish I could go there someday. 🙏❤
Oh wauw, that is so weird for me, that some of you never have experience it, I really hope you will some day ❤️ Thank you so much for leaving a comment and watching, that means a lot ☺️ I send you so much Love C
I love that they make this type of videos to inspire and transmit peace to people I started with Jonna Jinton without knowing that there were more similar channels I live in Mexico in the state of Oaxaca I hope very soon to convey to you about our culture and our lifestyle, it continues like this, friend
Hello Lovely! I am so excited that you've shared another video with us. You are experiencing a true culture shock for sure. Yes indeed Mother Nature is trying to remind you of what's really important. Slow down, enjoy the moments. Maybe during this winter times: only use one reusable cup/mug and plate each, then wash it. Don't set up the whole table. Don't worry about wearing the same clothes for a week. Just enjoy!
Thank you so much Melissa ☺️❤️ And yes, I have to let go of some "standards", to make it easier for my self. Thank you for watching, that means a lot. Big Hug C

Dear Christine, this is one my favourite videos so far. So true, transparent and with such a beautiful message behind it. Our mindset is definitely a big part of the game... thank you for reminding us of that. I think it applies to every lifestyle. Thank you thank you, you beautiful soul 🌟
I love that you're being so honest about it not always being easy to live such a lifestyle. You make beautiful videos, Christine! ❤
Thank you so much Dagmar ☺️❤️ And I am so glad, that you are saying that - It is important for me to show both sides. Much Love C
You were so honest when you said that upon your return your were still living the city life. People always believe it is so idyllic and romantic living in a cabin but they do not realise that you spend most of winter bringing logs inside just to stay warm and for cooking with which is a challenge. It is difficult to make adjustments when we have been bought up with everything at our fingertips. Living in one room whilst the roof is undergoing repairs is a struggle at the best of times. Tempers get short and people argue etc. The weather will I hope soon bring spring to you and then the warmer summer months will follow and the roof will be fixed! Sending virtual hugs to you from the UK.
Oh Thank you so much Sophie! And yes, I want to be honest about, what I am feeling -I love when others also share there true self ❤️
And yes, I am looking so much forward to spring now 🙈
Thank you for watching, that means a lot ❤️

I also live in a cabin in the middle of the forest, but in the Colorado Rocky Mountains. I agree with you about simple living being a state of mind-especially when you have to stay connected to technology for work, and all of the work stressors come along with that. Your video was a good reminder for me to take some time to disconnect, so I appreciate that :)
Thank you so much Kristen ☺️❤️
And thank you for sharing, it is a good feeling, that I am not alone with these challenges.

Hi Miss Christina. (we) here in Montreal, live in 1 room as well. The bedroom is the other, and I make use of it as often as I can. I read, listen to podcasts, laying in bed, and napping during the day. Making 1 room work takes (work). I know. Get outside, breathe some air, when things get testy with Kalle. Don't loose your cookies. I see Nala has grown a lot in the past few months. You will figure out the rhythm. Be patent with yourself and Kalle. Hang in there. Greetings from Montreal.
Thank you so much for your comment and good advice. I will do my best ☺️❤️ Much Love C
I’m always so happy when you upload a video, there’s just this sense of authenticity that makes me admire all the different aspects of your personality that I’ve seen so far. Someone commented that it feels as if they’ve been friends with you for a long time and that’s how it feels. Your videos are like catching up with a friend for coffee or wine and always make me feel grateful for what I have and the experiences yet to come. I love you and kalle together, you’re such a sweet and fun couple, and yet you both have individual traits that are so admirable. I just wish you and your little family the very best for the future
Oh wauw - Thank you so much Zoë for this sweet sweet comment! Oh you made me so happy, it warms my heart ☺️❤️
And thank you so much for watching, that means a lot.
So much Love Christine
The honesty shown in this video is very much appreciated. The chaotic situation around the house, the joys of having a warm shower ... i love the see more of these realistic things on this platform. Not just from people that chose simple living in the woods, but also from e.g. vanlife channels. Too often it's all glam and roses that is shown, but i'd love to see how couples cope with the limited space when it's raining for several weeks, how they manage their lifes in these super tiny spaces like using the toilet in front of the significant other or especially when it comes to menstruation etc - the vast majority just doesn't talk about it. Therefore i'd been very happy that you spoke so openly about your own challenge with this topic in Kalles video a while ago. Thank you Christine for bringing honesty to this platform in such a lovely way.
Thank you for this video and sharing your thoughts. I love the authenticity all the way through. And it also shows so much that no matter our circumstances or surroundings; true happiness always comes from within. As you said: "simple living is a state of mind". There may be things and material objects that spark joy in us, but there's cearly a difference between lasting happiness and just pleasure. Of course, finding inner happiness can be a challenging path, but if we are precious with our time and who we spend it with, start being comfortable with ourselves in stillness (meditation can help), seek to live in alignment with our values, knowing our values, and live a healthy and balanced life, happiness might not be as abstract as it seems.
Thank you so much for this comment Patrick! And I am agree with you.
Lots of love C
You are gemstone, so precious to the earth and irreplaceable. You turned a life I once hated to a life I can't wake and film because of your healing videos, The world is blessed simply because you are in it. ☀️🌈🌿
Aww Thank you so so much for this sweet comment, it went straight to my heart ❤️ You just have the biggest smile right now. So much Love and a Big hug Christine
Welcome home.
Sometimes we need to let go and surrender to the situation to really appreciate it. I have used your vlog to find a little place of peace in your lovely surroundings. Thank you for sharing the realness, I really do value that.
Oh thank you so much Ellen ☺️❤️
And thank you for watching, that means a lot.
Lots of love C
Christine, the scenes of the beautiful landcape and sky made my heart soar. I loved that you described the silence. I don't think that city dwellers or even most people in the world today have ever experienced true silence . Thank you!
I think it’s so important to speak up about the struggles of the simple life.. Looking at some videos on UA-cam people sometimes romanticize it too much... when it’s mostly so much of a hard work! But it’s so worth it! 😌 stay strong Christine :) and keep making those beautiful videos ;)
Oh thank you so much! ☺️❤️❤️ And yes, it is worth it, I just forgetting it sometimes 😅 Much Love C
I think it is so important to show ALL sides of this lifestyle. It is not all beautiful and easy. Just the basic needs can be such a challenge. Thank you for your honesty.
These are the kind of videos I like to watch after a rough day. Nature, calmness.. and beautiful music too. Christine, your videos bring me joy🌲❄️🌻 And you’ve only just begun! I can’t wait for the next one. Much love from The Netherlands
Oh Thank you so much, for such a sweet comment, that means a lot ❤️❤️ Lots of Love C
OMG, Nala has gotten so big! What a beauty she is! 💜
Your honesty is very refreshing and appreciated. Most people on UA-cam and social media only show the "pretty" side of everything. I prefer reality, so thank you for sharing that. There is beauty in that which is real, even when it tells the story of hardship. 🙏
Hihi I know, My little baby, is not that little any more 🙈💕
And thank you so much for saying that, that makes me really happy ❤️
Much Love C
Beautiful video, as usual! Sorry to hear you're having a challenging time, but it also so great that you're sharing the struggles with us. It's good to get to see the realness of your life.
I am so glad that you are saying that, I think honesty is so important - nothing is perfect. Thank you for your sweet comment ❤️ Much Love
This was so enchanting and yet so real and truthful, that my eyes started watering. I just realised, deeply, truly and wholeheartedly, how much I want to live my life likewise as well. My heart is just longing for it. I can't wait until I am grown up and ready to pack my suitcase and leave the urban life in my city, and live there with my dearest people but yet with myself. Oh Christie, you don't know what an inspiration you are! Thank you so much!
Love this!! Exactly what I’ve been feeling. Specifically when you said you’re in a cabin but still living in the city inside. Something I am working on. Simplifying my mind 🤍
Thank you so much ☺️❤️
Big Hug
Your forest looks like paradise in the snow. Christine, I can understand your frustration. I really appreciate your sharing the highs and the lows with us. Your story feels more real this way. i hope you will be able to upgrade to running water in your sink and a shower this spring. Less time boiling water and worrying about hygiene will free up your time to enjoy your beautiful, scenic home.
Oh I love your message in this video. "Simple living doesn't mean simple life". Thank you for sharing, and thank you for being vulnerable with the challenges and emotional impact it has :).
And yeah, anything for the views :D :D. Made me smile :).
Hihi 😉
And thank you so much! It makes me so happy, that you liked it 💚
Much Love
Finding our Silence and reversing our habit from 'doing' to 'let Nothing/Being do' is THE Journey. Beautiful Christine, thank you for sharing your struggles and your triumphs so honestly with us. 😘
Thank you for your sweet comment ☺️❤️ That means a lot.
Much Love
How lovely you are. The title of your video is perfect. You don't have to live in a remote wilderness to live a simple life, you can live a simple life anywhere, if we can stay grounded, quiet and open to all the beauty around. Thank you for your sweet videos and I look forward to seeing more and how your spread you wings and fly in those beautiful surroundings, with your loves by your side.
Thank you so much, for this sweet comment Nina - That made me so happy ☺️❤️
So much Love C
I like how you said, the simple life is a state of mind. I live in the countryside, but it's not very remote. I have had to find simplicity inside myself, because there is a lot of rush and need to stay busy around me. Taking each day at a slower pace feels so much more natural and healthy.
Thank you so much! ❤️
And yes, remote or not, we all have to work on this.
Much Love C
The quietness of living in a forest brings such relief from the busy world we live in. I lived on a sailboat for 25 years, so moving into a log cabin was such a change for me. Making changes in our lives can have it challenges, but the rewards are far beyond what I expected. Take Care Ernest
A sailboat!! Oh that sounds amazing as well. A home, you can take with you.
You are right, I know this just will make me so much wiser and stronger 💚
Love C
In spite of the challenges of your life, you have produced a glorious video where the love of the life you are living shines thru.
Oh Thank you so so much!! 💚
Well done Christine on your channel, it's a joy to watch. The thumbnail pictures are EPIC! So beautiful 😍 and thank you for your honesty. Real life can be different from what we portray, and it was good of you to share the struggles. I could totally relate when you said being a good girl means being busy all the time. I often feel like that and it can be exhausting - having a neat clean home, working, being married, and trying to enjoy our beautiful surroundings here on the west coast of Scotland - it can be overwhelming to try and fit everything in! So it's good to be reminded to take time out for yourself and rest 💗
It’s so so beautiful there is Sweden!!! I can’t thank you enough for sharing your life with us.
Yes, it is wonderful ☺️ Thank you for watching, it means a lot ❤️
I'm so sorry that you were away from home for so long, but I hope that the nature around you replenished your soul 💚 Thank you for showing both the tough and beautiful sides of life, hugs from Texas ♥
Thank you Julia for this sweet comment ❤️ And it is good to be back ☺️
Much Love C
This is soo beautiful Christine...your message resonates profoundly for me. I got away from the city because the rhythm drove me to burn out...but I seem to be at that point again whilst living in the countryside...I think you are right, I brought my city life expectations on myself with me. Keep telling your story please, it is so important ❤️
I've been longing so much for a new video from you 😍❤️
You create amazing movies that become miracles.
I hope more people discover your channel because you are worthy of all happiness and success 😍❤️
We are many who are very quick to judge and criticize ourselves because everything does not go as we intended. That we do not have the strength we want. That we do not perform as much as we "should" - according to ourselves.
That's why it's super important that we keep reminding ourselves - and each other! - that we live in systems, in norms and structures, which are far much larger than ourselves.
Stress and burnout are public health problems, not individual problems. It's not you, it's the system.
We all have different paths to walk to be happy and find harmony, prosperity, satisfaction and meaningful life. My tip is to try to relax more and lower your expectations and demands on yourself. Exclude factors that make you feel unwell.
❤️❤️ Do not forget that we love you for who you are and that YOU are more than good enough! ❤️❤️Live with Passion !
Oh Lars thank you so much for this sweet comment! That means a lot ❤️❤️
And you are so right, it is not us.
Send you a big hug ❤️
I saw that you will have a bathroom in future. That's great! My wife and I moved out to a cottage in a remote place also, but we are not really going for extrem simplicity. I have great respect for young people like you guys, leaving the city to a small cabin in the north, without running in-door water and so on. Respect!
But, having running hot water in the house make such a HUGE difference in life quality. We also have sauna, past summer we built a very modern kitchen as well - wow! It is so fantastic to enjoy comfort inside house but when you open the door to outside, you step out to solitude and untouched nature with surroundings that one could feel been unchanged in, like, 1000 years. This contrast is so magic in my opinion.
Oh that is what I dream about one day, the contrast 💚☺️
I learning valuable lessons right now, but I do not want to continue like this - But from this, I will never take the hot water for granted again, that I am actually thankful for.
Sounds like you are living in a beautiful spot as well.
Much Love C
@@ChristineKjaer To appreciate "ordinary things" - is WISDOM 😊😊 You are on track ❤

So lovely to see you again! I am amazed at the beauty there every time I see your videos...what a fairyland for sure! Thank you for sharing, 💜 love those dogs so much...they are sweet angels 💜 I always look forward to your vlogs and Kalle too...you guys are wonderful! 🙏❄️
Oh Thank you so much for this sweet comment! ☺️❤️
And thanks for watching, that means a lot.
Lots of Love C 💕
So many true words. It seems many that lives in the sparsely populated areas still have the urban "way of life" as the norm. I would say that leads to unhappiness. I live in the sparsely populated areas because it is NOT the city.
/Mathias
I agree! But we have been away from this livestyle for so long, that we have to relearned how it also can be ❤️
It's such a good feeling to hear you just speak about what real simple life is. It takes effort and especially it takes the right state of mind 🙏. Not easy but still good.
Christine, the sound of your voice is like an angel. You are as beautiful as your surroundings and I could never tire of watching you. You deal with the hardships with complete grace.
Oh you are so sweet 🙈❤️ Thank you so much!
Your comment really made me happy.
Lots of Love C

@@geetapatel3279 You too ☺️❤️ Big Hug C
Nothing more beautiful than nature at its finest.
It is so beautiful out there, that makes me like your honesty even more! Who says that you can't have those feelings, because you chose this life yourself! Living in a city is full of adjusting and trying not to let busy city life get to you. It is the same here, only without the noise.
Thank you so much! And yes, nothing is perfect! ❤️
Thank you for your sweet comment.
So much Love C
Thank you for being so honest about the ups and downs.
I am Canadian , living now in Mallorca and can relate to your winters which I love dearly.
It makes me homesick but I know how hard this can be.
Hang in there and keep sharing your simple joys!!!!
Thank you so much Michele ❤️
And yes, the winter is beautiful and magical, but also a challenge 🙈
Thank you for watching, that means a lot.
Big Hug
A lovely video Christine. I'm not sure that I could live as you and Kalle do, but I admire your lifestyle choice. In time you will be able to add luxuries and comfort to the cabin, and you will look back at these days with a wistful nostalgia !
Thank you so much Mark ☺️
And you are so right, one day I will look back, and then it is a good story 💚
So much Love C
As always so beautiful, raw and honest.....♥️ we need more of you 🥰
Oh you are so sweet ☺️ Thank you ❤️ Big hug
thank you so much for this video. I can feel totally with you. This was the first complete winter for me in Sweden. Although we´re not living a simple life like you do, it´s much more simple than my life in Germany has been...with central heating and all the modern comfort. I felt so stressed in January...even though I had no real stress. And also my husband and me argued a lot, about nothing. But when I realized that it´s me and my German-living-mindset that stressed me, it got much better. I also was not used allowing me just to do nothing. But I´m learning it. It´s still a work in progress ;-) I´m patient with myself. A mindset that has been lived for 28 years cannot be changed in a few weeks.
Be glad that you are already wiser than me at almost 49 years :-) I wish you all the best and I really enjoy your work. Big hug from Västernorrland
Hi Susanne ☺️❤️
Thank you so much for sharing your story as well, it is so nice to hear, that you are not alone in these feelings.

Oh you are so sweet!! Thank you so much ❤️
And it making me so happy, that you ask about the women club, cant wait to share it with you guys 😍
Big Hug C
It is very nice to see you and Kalle doing videos even when things aren't amazing for you. It's been a long cold winter here in Canada and it feels isolating sometimes, but just seeing others go through the same thing is comforting. Things are starting to warm up now and we are very much happy for the spring and summer. It will be a very good summer and I look forward to continue watching your journey :)
Thank you so much Derek, for you sweet words ☺️
And yes, spring is on its way, I cant wait, that going to be good for us all 💚
Much Love C
Very beautiful video! It is nice to hear your honest thoughts and I am happy that you have found a place to shower until the bathroom is built. Even when I am camping in my little camper, I have a little shower. I know people say you don't need to shower every day but I don't feel good if I don't have that one amenity. It is the one convenience, well and a place to keep warm and dry! I can deal with the rest I think. Such beauty with the snow in the trees and running with Nala.
Thank you so much! ☺️❤️
And yes, I feel the same, everything in this house is different, so my shower is important to keep the balance ☺️
Thank you so much for your sweet comment.
Big Hug C
I just want to say thank you for taking the time to share some of your wisdom on herbs and teas, and cacoa. Please, take this as a big encouragement to keep sharing these things and good habits. Much love and appreciation from Virginia, USA.

Hi Christine the warmth you're charing and spread around you makes us forgetting about the cold and icy - but also - beautiful winter. Your new video is simple and beautiful. Have fun, keep warm.
😚
Thank you so much Michelle for your sweet comment ❤️ That makes me truly happy, your words ☺️ So much Love C
Another beautiful video Christine. Allow yourself the grace to adjust to your new life. Living is going to be so different throughout each season and you need to allow yourself time to figure it all out. It is all so very different from what you’re used too. Take care of yourself and enjoy your beautiful home and lifestyle💕💕💕💕
Thank you so much Sara ☺️❤️ And yes, it is so true, this lifestyle is always different, it change with the season, so all of it is new all the time - and I have to get used to that ☺️
Thank you for your comment.
Much Love C
Simple doesn’t mean easy especially in the winter months for where you are. It’s an adjustment and you’ve done a huge one for your health and for me you look amazing 🤩 even though it’s challenging it’s good for you. I think both you and kalle are stressed figuring out how to adjust and how best to do things to your best abilities. Always talk about the hard times and celebrate the good it’s what makes us human xxx
Thank you so much Lisa, oh you are so sweet 🙈❤️
And yes, it will take some time, but we will figure this life out.
So much Love C
I finally got around to watching this. My life has been so hectic lately, but your videos bring a sense of calm so I’m glad I got to watch it today. Thank you for your honesty, it is refreshing to see. Much love to you all 💙

Thank you ❤️ And yes, it will be easier ☺️ Much Love
Such a beautiful video Christine! Your honesty and the wonderful scenery footage made me feel emotional. In a good way. Find your own peaceful routine and pace within the challenges life is presenting. You can do this Christine, this fase will lead to something better. It's all a learning process. Thanks so much for this wonderful video! 🙏🏻 Lots of love to you, Kalle and the wonderful doggies! 💜💙💚💛🧡❤️
Thank you so much! And yes, it will lead to something better, I believe that as well ❤️
Much Love C
I nearly cried to myself when you said that doing good things for yourself is its own type of to-do list... I needed to hear that so desperately 😭💚
And YES thank you for sharing with us how challenging this life can be, as beautiful and fulfilling as it is - living in the forest in the winter without our usual comforts can be it's own full time hustle, leaving little room for enjoyment of other things, which can create stress... It's always a balance of everything but it seems like you are doing a wonderful job!
I am almost done a video about my time up north here in Canada and it was sometimes exhausting staying in the cabin for so long.
You are a breath of fresh air. I love seeing your life, struggles and victories and passion for sharing wellness with the world. Thank you thank you thank you 💜
Oh wauw, Thank you! What a sweet comment, you made me so happy ❤️
And you are also living in a cabin ☺️ I am glad, that I am not the only one there sometimes can feel exhausted - thank you for sharing.

Ohhh Christine 🥰 Beautiful video, perfection!!!! I feel we are living parallel lives in a way. Even though it wasn’t the same I was stuck in CA away from Greg for 3 months. I wish I could send you a ton of our water here, the tropics are warm. We don’t actually live anywhere at the moment and it’s very stressful. I love that you’re filming in this beautiful snow, I wish I could be in it so badly! You look beautiful and peaceful. Sending you and Kalle love. Stay strong my friend!!!!
Hi sweet Kristen ❤️

So love your honesty. Although we used to live about 15 minutes apart. We are in the total south of Europe for two months. As we are moving towards a new integrated life together. Temporarily staying in a home with a living room, where we both do our work. There is no internet in the bedroom. We are evolving... And it is going better and sometimes it's very challenging. It's hard to have nog privacy. Yet it's lovely to be together. Such good advice to just stop and take time for ourselves. I think we women need that especially... to get back into our power. Feel like I at least have one person in this world who gets it. Love your video's and the beautiful winter wonderland. Lot's of love, Vi

What a beautiful video! I'm new to this channel, but I had to subscribe right away. I live near a city, but I watch videos of people living simple lives close to nature, and I dream about being able to do that someday. The idea that simple living is a state of mind is such a wonderful thing because it means that someone like me can embrace that mindset, even if I don't live in a beautiful forest.

Hi Christine! Your videos are very soothing and enjoyable. You do such wonderful narration and have such a beautiful camera presence.
The winter scenes are stunning. We live in deep snow country and it looks that way after a storm. Thanks for the awesome video.
We have a small channel. Within the last year we began making videos about life in the Keweenaw. We have been inspired by Jonna, Isabelle Paige, Leena, Kalle and now you as well. Thank you for that.
Oh Thank you so much for your sweet words ☺️❤️❤️ That means a lot.
More nature channels 😍 That sounds wonderful!
So much Love C
Beautiful video from a beautiful soul. Wishing you strength, happiness ....and warm showers:)
Oh Thank you so much ❤️❤️ Lots of Love C

First I was only watching cottage fairy & hannahlee, then found Jonna, Isabel, Talasbuan &, then lately I subscribed to Leena, now it's you Christine. Wow, it's like I'm travelling in the world & feeling cold with all the snow just by watching your videos 😂 - Much Love from the tropical country,Philippines (where ice & snow is just a dream for someone like me who has not experienced it yet.) Wish I could go there someday. 🙏❤
Oh wauw, that is so weird for me, that some of you never have experience it, I really hope you will some day ❤️
Thank you so much for leaving a comment and watching, that means a lot ☺️
I send you so much Love C
I love that they make this type of videos to inspire and transmit peace to people I started with Jonna Jinton without knowing that there were more similar channels I live in Mexico in the state of Oaxaca I hope very soon to convey to you about our culture and our lifestyle, it continues like this, friend
Thank you so much ☺️❤️
That would be very interesting to watch, about your culture.
Lots of Love C
Hello Lovely! I am so excited that you've shared another video with us. You are experiencing a true culture shock for sure. Yes indeed Mother Nature is trying to remind you of what's really important. Slow down, enjoy the moments. Maybe during this winter times: only use one reusable cup/mug and plate each, then wash it. Don't set up the whole table. Don't worry about wearing the same clothes for a week. Just enjoy!
Thank you so much Melissa ☺️❤️ And yes, I have to let go of some "standards", to make it easier for my self.
Thank you for watching, that means a lot.
