    You two are lovely. My husband and I ( Earlyish 50's 😉) have just started our boating life...3 children in their 20's so we thought we'd give it ago, not full time yet as renting a house but have our lovely boat now, watching how you both manage the challenges is inspiring and you're helping me to feel braver about the whole thing.
    Love the colour of little Joe's room, stay warm and cosy all 💚💚💚💚

    Well done with the desk top/change table/bed & managing to get it in! The sage green paintwork is very nice & the same as my bathroom! Do you have a bathroom/shower/toilet? What about a washing machine? ….Did I miss those videos? At least babies just want to eat & sleep at this stage….but Mum you have to take it easy too! Take good care all of you, Love Aunty Chris xxx

    I love the way your boat is coming on, I have to admit I'm super jealous of your Iron Heart. I have my ideal boat design that I wish to get built once my boys have flown the nest, and it has an Iron heart at the centre so I was buzzed to see you guys installing yours. Enjoy this wonderful time of life with your baby Joe. Time goes quick, and they grow fast, rinse every moment.

    Really love you guys...love how you work together to get things done..well done for the painting and fitting in of the new desk..Id be a bit worried myself of a bed being any height with a young child and maybe wonder if a fold up travel cot would be a good plan ? I was short of space myself for my grandchild so invested in a travel cot which could be folded away in the daytime and lasts quite a while really until they are so big they can easily climb out of it themselves haha..all the best for finding some solutions as the little man grows..wow they grow so fast dont they !!

    Remember to put a side guard on the desk so the little one doesn't fall off. I'm sure you already know this but just saying in case. Also get some padding so he doesn't bump his head against it. He will be right next to the window so you will need black-out curtains too I imagine.

    • @jewelrussell8288

      And a good window lock. A cot would have worked better amd they could have put timber over the top when a desk is required. Hope Joe will be safe😊

Continue with good health, lots of love and self-care, and repurposing/recycling/reusing as you go. Thank you for the vlog and letting us know how you’re getting along in all aspects of the tiny life.

    PLEASE PLEASE NEVER ever drink hot drinks near your baby.
    It's so dangerous and it only takes a split second for your little one to get third degree burns from a split drink.
    I know it sounds negative but my brother has these burns from having a hot drink spilt over his body.
