Oh I was also going to say, my mum is a Montessori teacher and agree, it's amazing what babies and kids can do! Go max go for the fire making! Our little guy is almost 3 and since 1.5 he's loved his knife (there's a brand called Kiddikutter that makes great serated ones), and he helps cook dinners every night. Such great play for them!
Oh how wonderful, I will definitely look into that brand! Thank you! So cute your little guy helps out too ❤ It really is amazing. Everything is play, everything is learning :)
I remember watching those van life videos years ago! It is so sweet to watch your family grow and the journey you create throughout these years. Sending love
I have made a 2 different gluten free starters. With them I have made 3 loaves of amazing gluten free bread. I am blown away at how delicious they are. You have created a beautiful life. Well done!
I know what you mean about time passing fast Dana. Mine being 14 and 15 now! Todler age is such a wonderful period, I recal the wonder from your video here actually in a nice way, like it´s part of me and not lost on me. The excitement of new words popping out, I remember enjoying that time SOOO much. And just think of the days when he will be able to express himself in sentences of his own, - there is so much to look forward to. And his personality will reveal itself more and more in different ways. Even with the loss of aspects in connection and role as a mom to teenagers, it´s like a whole portal rich with information and initiations, really reorienting. But still so many memeories had together and it touched me to think of the priviledge it has been to and still is to see these souls become their own people ❣ I´m just now starting to get excited about making space to explore my own creativity more in different ways.
Bianca!! Literally have tears welling up from your comment. Thank you so much for sharing that. To enjoy these sweet days, but also how much there is to look forward to. Love how watching our video reminded you as well that that period is a part of you still, even as your kids have grown to teens. So sweet, thank you ❤ And so happy for you that you are reconnecting with creativity! That sounds so wonderfully exciting, too. Your comment made me so happy :)
Watched your shipping container videos, caught up to present and I realized I'm addicted to you're guys energies! So I went to the start of the van build right through the boat build and now back to shipping containers build. Looking forward to you're next videos! Hope all is well, I'm so inspired by everything you guys have done. I'm currently in the process of moving a tiny pull behind camper to my property in town to convert to off grid living 😊
I recently started baking bread and it came out so good, really enjoyable process. Love seeing Freya sleeping they are so peaceful and it reminds me of my dog when he splet, I could watch him for hours x
once you start, you just cant stop haha! baking bread really is so wonderful. Thanks also about the kind words about Freya, she is so sweet isnt she :) Big hugs to you!
I missed you last week. I hoped your family was OK. However everyone deserves time off, so it’s all good 😊 That was really comforting to watch. Yes Dana, I would love to for you to expand on your famine prospective on homesteading. Lou’s skills and work ethic. Max and Freya are so lucky!
That is so sweet of you ❤ Yes this past year or so we have been posting mostly every other week, going with the flow and what is possible for us to juggle. So grateful to have kind people in our community like you who are also gracious with our space and time needs! So glad you liked this video ❤ Thank you!!
It's so cool living in central NY myself and knowing what day this was. That was a surprise snow! We haven't gotten that much snow this winter, but I'm ready for spring!
Beautiful video. so cute watching Max grow up. It struck me that by talking about 'making films with him', then it opens up the whole possibility that some films are for family and some films are to share with the 'film watchers'/You Tube and that he will understand the whole thing about choosing to share/not share, so that as he gets older, he will feel empowered to make decisions himself about how he wants to be involved/what he is happy to share. I can relate so much to how you parent Max and it is very sweet. Isn't it lovely when they get to an age when you can really interact verbally like you are with Max. Gorgeous. Plus you get to have these wonderful films and so does he for the whole of this life to watch back. I love watching films of my son at this age - there is one particular one when he is trying on a froggy dressing up outfit and it is so so cute. Thanks for another lovely video. Sending you all good vibes, x
Thank you soooo much for your comment! Absolutely love that idea and really has me thinking. Wonderful. And aw that is so sweet to have a video memory of your son in his froggy dressing up outfit, makes my heart melt even just imagining it!! Thank you so much for the kind and insightful words, sending big hugs ❤
Beautiful video:) Thank you for sharing. Love the longer - form vlog. And love your sweet little family. I have been following you for a couple years now. It's so cool to see where you have ended up - off grid and with a little sweetie in tow. You two are such great parents! That little human is pretty lucky to live the life you created.
Haha wow! That is so cool, never thought about what activities people may be doing on the side while watching our videos! How cool, happy to be your chores-buddies :) ❤
What a sweet video:) I also really enjoyed just the quiet and natural sounds with no music, (although you always pic wonderful music) this was really different, calming and grounding.. thank you for sharing your lovely life with us, it’s been a pleasure to follow your journey all these years from van to boat to Hawaii to NY.. truly inspiring.
Thank you soooo much ❤ it really means a lot to read, that even these calmer moments resonate. Thank you so much for spending time with us all these years, too ❤ sending big hugs x
Your skin looks amazing, you have color back now finally. Not sure if you got your bloodwork done but I’m guessing it would look better now that you are eating a little meat/eggs etc.
You're all SO amazing, and living off grid isn't easy, ESPECIALLY in the first few years of motherhood. Never underestimate what you 3 (4 with freya) are accomplishing
Love your comment sooo much. It really does influence our perceptions of needs and what basics are. And how fascinating you are building a hempcrete house! Will have to look into that, that sounds very cool. We wish you all the very best with that project!! Love from us ❤
17:00 I would love to see that video! It’s so beautiful to watch a baby grow to be a person. I can’t wait to be a mother ❤ If it’s not too personal, I would love to hear how it is socially to live in the mountains. Are you friendly with your neighbors and community members? Does Max have playdates?
Great video! I’m curious about the match striking strip in the window frame in your office container. What is it? Cool idea to have something right there beside the stove for match lighting.
hello , great share , thank you , for sharing🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰..........................p.s. your shipping container , really needs more of a " woman's touch " to make it more comfy and cozy, especially in cold weather ....it's too austere........that bread is beautiful.......
My favorite part was seeing Freya sleeping blissfully.❤ Very comforting.
Aw that is so special, the little moments ❤ she is so sweet, isnt she? Hope you are having a really nice week, dancingonhands!

I love the way you both talk to Max. So kind!
I remember watching those van life videos years ago! It is so sweet to watch your family grow and the journey you create throughout these years. Sending love
P.s. Dana, your hair is looking so long and luscious! What shampoo and conditioner do you use?
❤ Thank you so much for spending time with us all these years, that really is so special :) Sending love right back!
Yesssss to a video about living in your feminine off grid or whatever you said! 💗💗💗
Haha yay so excited that youre excited about it ❤❤❤ thanks, Susan!
YESSSSSS
Thanks for the lovely - day in the life. Spending 3 months off grid myself, really grounded myself in the necessities and simple things. - cheers.
how cool you spent 3 months off grid, too. It is truly wonderfully grounding ❤
I wish I had been kid living with you, loving parents and nature so beautiful, so nice to watch you also with your dog
Absolutely yes, to more long form videos. This was beautiful. A true inspiration for the future I fantasize about with my partner and our life.
Thank you so much, Rachel, super encouraging to read ❤
I would love a full video that is similar to the first 4 minutes of this one. It creates such a calm feeling inside me. Love the vid and you three!
It so sweet to see Max talking ❤ y’all have such a beautiful family
Thank you so much, Esther, that is really so kind of you to say ❤
I have made a 2 different gluten free starters. With them I have made 3 loaves of amazing gluten free bread. I am blown away at how delicious they are. You have created a beautiful life. Well done!
Everything you said about motherhood and watching your baby grow is everything I've been feeling with my 8 months old!
Thank you for sharing your day with us. ❤

You two were meant to be parents ♥️
Max is so precious!
I look forward to your video every Sunday
This is such a beautiful video, it felt like watching a movie.
I wish I grew up the way you're raising Max ❤

Yes, Dana please share your feminine off-grid perspective. The good, the great and the terrific!

I love you guys! watching from Italy, so inspiring!
This was a lovely video. I watched 3 times while doing chores. Thank you for the body double.
Haha wow! That is so cool, never thought about what activities people may be doing on the side while watching our videos! How cool, happy to be your chores-buddies :) ❤

Great video!!enjoy everyday!
17:00 I would love to see that video! It’s so beautiful to watch a baby grow to be a person. I can’t wait to be a mother ❤
If it’s not too personal, I would love to hear how it is socially to live in the mountains. Are you friendly with your neighbors and community members? Does Max have playdates?
The most beautiful word, human beings created, is MAMA! How nice does it sounds when your children are calling : Mama. ❤️🥰
WOW! Those pancakes looked AMAZING! Pure comfort food with a blanket of snow outside. Can you share your recipe?? Please?
I thought Freya was a kangaroo at first on that run! haha, so speedy!
18:00 Don't worry about the bread, the first time I tried to make bread it just went really hard so hard in fact you could play baseball with it!
Would love a feminine Dana video 🩷🦋🌼
Great video! I’m curious about the match striking strip in the window frame in your office container. What is it? Cool idea to have something right there beside the stove for match lighting.
Any regrets not putting the three shipping containers together?
What brand is your cast iron skillet? Love your videos.
Have to much love for yall's family
❤️
Your hair is getting so long! 🩷
Why don't you all make the middle part between the bedroom and kitchen your living and dining room?
❤❤❤ you teaching MAX the “how toos” !!
Sometimes it snows in April…….
What happened to you guys?
I would love you to film video about feminity off grit 🙏🏼❤️❤️❤️
