As strange as para-social relationships are, I am so glad you all came back at least for a check-in. I don't have any social media accounts, so when you stopped posting, I was actually concerned something happened. Which in itself is kind of weird since I/we don't know you, but after watching for so many years, there is a connection beyond simple entertainment. I wish you both the best and like many other commentators here, I will always come back and watch whatever content you produce (including Shelbi's main channel). Thank you for showing us there are those out there who fight the good (and frustrating) fights and how to live life in an impactful manner that feels approachable and accessible.
Thank you for your concern. We hated to leave you all hanging, but the burn out was real. It makes me so happy that we're able to connect with you the way we have, even if it's just virtual. This comment means so much. Thank you for wishing us well. Know we're always fighting the good fight, on and offline. Sending peace and love your way, friend. -M
Even if your not consistent I would still come back to watch! Maybe 2 a month since your schedule is so full lately. And yeah it doesn't have to be structured, for me personally I like seeing the real stuff, the good, the bad, it's all just real ❤
Shelbi, when you said “I don’t push anymore,” Madison’s eye’s glossed over. I almost choked with laughter. 😂 You two are beyond cute. … and although you have been missed, taking care of yourselves and enjoying your life is far more important.
I'm so jealous of all your wonderful neighbors and your house and the solar and all the wonderful things in your lives! You deserve every bit of it, enjoy every minute and loop us in whenever is comfortable and easy.
I agree. I’m all for making things easier and also for them to get paid! I also don’t mind if vlogs are more spaced out, maybe like 1x a month or something like that. Whatever they’re comfortable with.
I think that vlogs would affect the way the "algorithm" promotes the main channel. RUclips seems to favor consistency of posting frequency and of content, so if the vlogs don't do as well there it could affect their income/ growth.
That’s a good idea, but the algorithm would drastically affect the main channel if we combined content like that! I wish it were that simple. I appreciate the suggestion though, friend. Thank you for your support. -M
Nice to hear you're happy-busy :) and thanks for check in! Missed your vlogs but I think we all would rather know you're happy relaxing rather than burning out trying to push out some content. Enjoy your new community and hobbies, you both look happier
I can’t imagine what it would be like to meet new people and have a camera on everyone!! Meeting new people is hard and sometimes awkward enough!! Totally miss you guys….but glad you’re doing what’s best for yourselves. Looking forward to seeing you whenever you feel up to posting🥰
Belated, but glad to see y’all back!! I am catching up from this video forward (grad school often doesn’t leave time for watching as many vids 🥲) so hey, we all need a break sometimes!
Yayyyy you're back! Mental Health and Burn out is a real thing. It's good to have a break to do you and get back into what you love doing. I'm glad you both are doing okay. 🥰
Thank you!!! I’ve been long time friends (way before COVID). Your vlogs really got me through COVID. When I was so removed from others, I really felt a connection to you two. I felt like I was hanging with friends. I’ve missed you two, but I’m so happy for you guys!!!! 🧡💚🧡💚
Good to see you back in the comments, friend. I’m so glad we were able to help you through that challenging time. This comment made me so happy. Sending love your way. -M
Seeing you two become more intentional about how to spend your time to prioritize yourself has inspired me to do the same. I love seeing your vlogs and videos but I mostly just love seeing you two thrive even if that means less or no videos.
I can't imagine how much work all of this is to keep up, but I sure love the vlogs and just the education and fun you both share. Whether this can continue or not, I've gotten so much inspiration from you both and have really enjoyed being able to see what other people with the similar values across the country are doing. 💜
Thank you so much for your support. It is so much work, but we love sharing our lives with you all. I'm so glad you find us inspiring. Thank you for your support. -M
I think it is an amazing thing that you are taking your health seriously and have been putting so much into your new home. Health and community are the most important things. I don't blame you for dropping off for a while. Especially when your real life is going so much better now. I will always be here as a member of your audience whenever you decide to post. I quite enjoy your videos. Though I do not watch them directly after you post them and usually catch up over a weekend (or try to watch when I can), you are still so inspiring. Thank you for all you do.
Hi new subscriber here from Ireland. I've been following the main channel for a couple of months. I didn't even know about this channel until it popped up in my feed. You two are such a fabulous couple. I love the way you interact 😍
Thanks for the update! It’s great to see you again but even better to hear you’ve been livin your best lives in Austin!! I’ll be happy to check back in whenever you guys have the time and energy for sharing a vlog :)
Happy to see you’re back! I really like hearing about your focus on building community. I think it’s something we can all strive for, and I enjoy hearing you explain specific ways you’re doing it.
You guys do things that work for you I think you need to live your life your both young and have so much you can do!!!!! We will see you when we see you💕
I hope you have a chance to look into the native plant society of texas and your local chapter. So much great information and community based on native plants.
So good to see you guys, thanks for the updates!! You both look more rested & maybe every few months an update for this channel? Sending love from the UK 🤗💜💕🏳️🌈
I miss you guys!! I’m so happy to see you posted a video 😄 I was thinking about you both the other day wondering how you guys are doing. I understand why you guys stopped the vlogs. Moving to a new home brings so much change. I’ll always support whatever you guys decide to do with this channel. As long as you guys are happy :)
Oh my god, the steam train! Did it once around summer 2021 and it was soooooo not worth it lol. We got held up coming back from Bertram and didnt get off the train until almost midnight!
About the back garden: have you considered a landscaping/garden expert to advise on what is there and any necessary prep to get it ready for food planting? Can see you love researching
I love to see you both thriving. Id miss yall if you stopped vlogging all together but totally get it if you decide to stop. It can get exhausting and sometimes things are a part of your life for a chapter, not forever.
We're doing so well. We're not sure what things are going to look like going forward, but do appreciate your support and understanding. We have such an awesome community and we're glad you're a part of it. -M
I'm so happy to see you both again! ❤ I understand the time involved with making videos but I truly did miss you both. I think sometimes vloggers put way too much effort into videos for perfection which starts making it too time consuming. Short little snippets would be fine with me and I'm sure for many of your other viewers. It still gives us a glimpse inside of what you are both up to. I also love bloopers so relax more and don't try too hard. Just be yourselves and don't stress over what content to put in here. Many are just fine knowing you are both happy as well as the pets 😊
We're so happy to see you too. We missed you, friend. We appreciate your support so much. Thank you for loving us and our content just the way it is. -M
Yep we have lots of black walnut trees. Peppers in the garden seemed to do fine...tomatoes did not do well. So garden has been moved. But black walnuts are edible.
I definitely missed yalls vlogs! Even if its just once or twice a month so you dont get burnt out that would be wonderful. No pressure though! Ill be here to watch if more come 😊
Definitely missed you both!! But I get that it's a lot of work on top of work and life. So, hey, go live life as much as you can and make your community strong IRL. we will still be here for whenever you do upload. ❤
I missed you guys! Glad you are doing what you want to do and getting some much needed rest. Shelbi said this channel hasn't grown, but it has! I have been here since the dumpster diving days (or was that Shelbi channel) anyways I joined this channel at 2000 subs! You now have 22 thousand subs! Hope to see you again soon. Big hugs your way xoxox
If it's helpful, I also have a black walnut tree in my backyard and the grass doesn't grow around it, but for some reason the gold forsythia bushes around it are doing great. 😅 So if you did want some plants and flowers, maybe that'd work for you too? I'd like to figure out how to use some of the black walnuts but I know there's a whole process to it!
I really love your new direction for you, and as for us watching, I would love some vlogs obviously, but if you have like some local adventures spread over the whole month, I also wouldn’t be mad about infrequent vlogs with footage from random days of the month or something. I feel like some years ago „monthly video scapbooks“ were kinda popular, without one particular theme or topic 🤷🏻 but in any case just do what‘s good for you and if we‘re nosy for your adventures, we‘ll go to insta and stuff 😅
Wowww I missed you guys!! Lol but totally get how you could get burnt out so happy to see you whenever you wannna post Um omg you shouted out my name 🥹🥹so honored lolll
I’m okay with y’all just vlogging at home also ok with less vlogs. I mean I do enjoy your vlogs with y’all’s family and friends in them but I also like y’all’s videos with just y’all. Also how’s the fur baby and the girls? Also hopefully y’all don’t completely disappear from RUclips.
We are having the same issues with half the windows being replaced!!! Back in October we bought a house built in 1900 and the previous owners only replaced half the windows!
Girl I wish HOAs were not so popular here in AZ. If you want to live anywhere remotely decent you have to contend with HOAs. If we didn’t have one then Id have chickens!
Hi guys. So good to hear from you both again. I'm happy that you took a break as I definitely don't want to see you getting burnout. :) :/ You definitely need to have your own time to just chill out & do whatever you like or need to do to avoid burnout. I'm glad you're building community like you wanted & hopefully the new neibours will become good mates. All the best with everything & can't wait to see you both again sometime. 🤗😁🇦🇺🇳🇿
We're glad to hear from you too, friend! The break was nice. Thank you for being so understanding and for wishing us well. We're sending positive vibes back your way. -M
I enjoy the vlogs more than the main channel. The main channel is more... information and educational. Witch I do also enjoy. Been following and watching for like 6 years or so. And have watched the main channel evolve into the... more professional platform that it is today.. but the vlog kinda brings me back to the dumpster diving days with you and Madison.. kinda.. having adventures together and thats not something that I feel like we get with the main channel anymore.
As soon as you said twin brothers, they’re black, they play R&B music. I immediately new who you were talking about. Do you happen to be talking about the Peterson Brothers? I went to high school with them in Bastrop. I actually see them everywhere I go (mostly vegan locations). I always tell my husband “look there’s the Peterson brothers again.” 😂
Their band is called The Bros Fresh! Check them out wherever you jam out to music. I'll also have to look into the Peterson brothers! They sound rad too! -M
2 pecan trees? You’ll have more than both your weights in pecans. I made my friend german chocolate cupcakes and spent two hours cracking 1 cup of pecans.
Good to see you beautiful humans 💞 New neighbor friends, so awesome 👍 Happy to hear about what you have been up to 💖 Community connections are so important! Community activism is key to making our world the best it can be! Thank you 🙏🏼 Much love from CT 💜
Thank you for touching on eco improvements we can do for our homes. Do you happen to have a whole video on that? My husband and I are trying to make our home more eco friendly ❤
If you do get more chickens you should get 2 or 3. (Always get more than you have) They take a while to integrate into an established “flock” and there can be some fighting. I’ve been there lol 😅
I enjoy this channel but have consistently noticed Madison seeming overwhelmed. All these steps to lesson your media lives will help you be present for the you you want to be. I have learned so much about living a life for the planet 🌎
Happy pride y’all! I just got back from San Francisco and it was great seeing all the pride flags. I wanted to mention that we will watch whatever you provide and that I totally get Shelbi connecting with nature. It’s such an all-around (mental, physical, and emotional) revival. I also live like an hour and a half from Gen. Sherman. I need to plan a trip soon! Originally from Monterey County, so I loved that your friends moved here! You should definitely come to see Kings Canyon, Point Lobos (state park), and the Pinnacles as well. Super underrated. All the 💗, from central California.
Happy Pride month, friend! I'm sure it was incredible in SF. We have so much more to see over there. It's so nice that you're so close and can enjoy such grand sites at your leisure. -M

Could you just put vlogs on your main channel so they can make money? Love your vlogs,want you to get paid.
I totally agree. I wouldn’t mind seeing all your content in one place. Vlogs, sustainability talk, and more. So glad to see you ladies!

I'm glad you're building community like you wanted & hopefully the new neibours will become good mates. All the best with everything & can't wait to see you both again sometime. 🤗😁🇦🇺🇳🇿
We're glad to hear from you too, friend! The break was nice. Thank you for being so understanding and for wishing us well. We're sending positive vibes back your way.

I enjoy the vlogs more than the main channel. The main channel is more... information and educational. Witch I do also enjoy. Been following and watching for like 6 years or so. And have watched the main channel evolve into the... more professional platform that it is today.. but the vlog kinda brings me back to the dumpster diving days with you and Madison.. kinda.. having adventures together and thats not something that I feel like we get with the main channel anymore.
Missed you guys!
We missed you too!

As soon as you said twin brothers, they’re black, they play R&B music. I immediately new who you were talking about. Do you happen to be talking about the Peterson Brothers? I went to high school with them in Bastrop. I actually see them everywhere I go (mostly vegan locations). I always tell my husband “look there’s the Peterson brothers again.” 😂
Their band is called The Bros Fresh! Check them out wherever you jam out to music. I'll also have to look into the Peterson brothers! They sound rad too!

Could you put a fence around the chicken coop, giving them a portion of the backyard, but preventing them from going all over?
Hmm, that could be an idea!

2 pecan trees? You’ll have more than both your weights in pecans. I made my friend german chocolate cupcakes and spent two hours cracking 1 cup of pecans.
Oh wow, that'll be fun. We can't wait. That's so nice that you made your friend cupcakes!

How did no one ask about Shelbi’s new tattoo?
So glad you guys took time for yourselves. 💕
It’s a beauty isn’t it! Thank you for being so understanding.
-M

Thanks for taking the time to leave a suggestion for us.

Thank you for touching on eco improvements we can do for our homes. Do you happen to have a whole video on that? My husband and I are trying to make our home more eco friendly ❤
You bet! Here's Shelbi's video on how to make your home more eco friendly.

@@ShelbiMadison thank you!!!
I was just wondering if you had been lowered in the algorithm or something bc I wasn’t getting your videos recently!
We've just been on a much needed hiatus. Thanks so much for sticking around.
-M
Redwoods are my happiest moment too! And I'm a wife and mom 😜
Aww, those are some very nice happiest moments!
-M
I hear you, Madison, on the no pets life!
I missed you girls so much. Maybe if you do 1-2 a month to avoid burn out
We missed you too! That’s a good suggestion.
-M
So happy for my faves
Thank you for your support.
-M
Totally understand
Thank you, friend.

PODCAST!!!!
Ooh, a podcast could be fun.

You might be able to get tax credits or rebates for window replacements. Just replaced all of mine (28) and it was well worth it.
There are rebates available to us. We're looking forward to getting an incentive for the replacements once we move forward with them.
-M
Maybe extend the break a week or two so you can build a backlog of vlogs?
Hmm, we’ll see. Thank you for the suggestion.
-M
Can you grab photos from the house listing to document the lawn transformation?
We can't unfortunately.
-M
yes chickens live better in groups with min. 4-5 members
Hmm, interesting.
-M
If you do get more chickens you should get 2 or 3. (Always get more than you have) They take a while to integrate into an established “flock” and there can be some fighting. I’ve been there lol 😅
Yes to this!! They need more chickens but it'll be best to get a few more.
That's definitely what Shelbi would want. We'll see lol
-M
I enjoy this channel but have consistently noticed Madison seeming overwhelmed. All these steps to lesson your media lives will help you be present for the you you want to be.
I have learned so much about living a life for the planet 🌎
Being present is def very important as is finding that social media life balance. We're working on it. Thank you for supporting us.

I mean, Book Tube is a thing lol. People talk about books and vlog.
So glad yall are back ish! My wife and i love watching you! Happy pride month! 🎉 🌈 🌈🏳️🌈🏳️🌈🏳️🌈🏳️🌈🏳️🌈🏳️🌈🏳️🌈
Happy pride month! Thank you so much for your support.

Happy pride y’all! I just got back from San Francisco and it was great seeing all the pride flags. I wanted to mention that we will watch whatever you provide and that I totally get Shelbi connecting with nature. It’s such an all-around (mental, physical, and emotional) revival. I also live like an hour and a half from Gen. Sherman. I need to plan a trip soon! Originally from Monterey County, so I loved that your friends moved here! You should definitely come to see Kings Canyon, Point Lobos (state park), and the Pinnacles as well. Super underrated. All the 💗, from central California.
Happy Pride month, friend! I'm sure it was incredible in SF. We have so much more to see over there. It's so nice that you're so close and can enjoy such grand sites at your leisure.
