Stay strong and don't feel pressured by those in the past that have asked "when will you finally get the house built". We all have so much admiration and respect for everything you do with your own hands rather than paying someone else to quickly build a second house for you, or do meaningless or unnecessary renovations to your home. It seems when we work hard life has meaning. Taking the easy route seems to make it easier to become materialistic. I have been guilty of this myself. I watch the two of you as an example of how I would like to be.
Yes
hehe, thanks! We'll surely get a lot of those comments on this video as well.
Got a lot of respect for them because i wouldn't do it myself😂
Well said. I love your house as is it is very cozy and having a bigger house only means more work in the long run.
That’s time you don’t have. Do things your way and never be pressured by others. Love your fifestyle.
Yes, it sounds like you have lots of projects! I'm very impressed with all that you do by yourselves along with raising an amazing little boy!
The most important thing is keeping your little boy safe and loved. And keep your marriage strong. Everything else is extra.
That really is a lot of work hope you can manage without burn out. And you managed to get the video done! 😉 I always love to find a talasbuan video has been uploaded 🧡
I've been watching you two from the beginning. I've always loved your sprit and think that we are kindred in how we look at this earth. I feel that you represent truth, what is needed in this world. I've never done this before, but I just became a patron. Love you guys ❤️
So glad to see a video from you and family. Your son is a joy to watch. He's adorable and I know such a huge blessing. 🙏🏻♥️🙏🏻
Gratitude dear friends for sharing with us the great quantity of projects for this summer! Crazy busy! It never stops. I'm so very happy you have the sauna ti unwind and find calm peaceful times in the midst of very busy days. Sending good vibes to the three of you 💙🙏😊
It's so fun to watch Ivar. When you were loading the sheep he was walking around, with his arms swinging, like he had just done a really big job. I know that you're working hard but it is a joy to watch you accomplish things and then have a nice hot sauna at the end of your day with a dip in the river. I'm sure I've never missed an episode since you began. The transformation of the farm and of the 2 of you as a couple and as parents is a joy to watch.
That's a LOT of projects 😅Just let me know when you need my help!
I don't know how you get anything done with all the work that you do! We will be happy to see your videos when you get the time to make them. I hope you will be able to get all the projects done or most of them and some building on your other home. You can only do what you can do. Stay healthy and safe, both of you!
Summer has arrived, finally, and you already made a long list of projects to do. Take your time, there are always things to do, to fix, never end. Ivar is so cute, as always. Thanks for the video, looking forward to the next one.
The chickens clucking at you while you were talking about them brooding was so funny! Best of luck with your projects🙌
Your videos are so calming and peaceful. Thank you, you will get it done💥
It takes so much to keep a home going...just do what you can do & eventually it gets done ! Always excited when your video is uploaded. We are having a much cooler spring than normal, but I can get more done without the extreme heat just yet !!!
Mathias I was starting to get a bit of anxiety when the to do list kept going and going haha. It's great you're having all these projects, I love projects like that. I hope you manage to do as much as you would like this summer and also have a bit of time for climbing ;)
Yes! I want to climb 7A again outside this summer :)
/Mathias
@@Talasbuan that's great!
Awesome goal. I wish you good luck and please please make a video of it :)
be strong my admiration to you ,,,from Canada
That sounds like a nice and lazy summer coming up... Awesome to see how you get the eggs hatched in the natural way! Love from the Netherlands.
Your videos are so lovely to watch 😍 i admire you so much, your list will get done eventually put no pressure on yourselfs. Your smiles make me smile 😀 lvar is still the hardest working little lad ❤
✌🏼👋🏽
Lots of work ahead but lots to be proud of already.
In the meantime, I’m sure there’s a few Australian sheep farmers who would share some advice on shearing technique.
They take their competitions very seriously!😉
Wow! that is quite a list. Ivor is at one of the most charming ages....although I know that he takes a lot of time because he is into everything. As of the house, I am sure no one wants it done more that you guys. I just enjoy watching the farmstead grow. Grateful that you share.
What ever became of the wind farm you were fighting ?
That's how one feels most of the time, when you start a big project on your own, that you work from dawn to dust and nothing seems to be done but then you start to finally see progress and it takes time believe me but that's when you will feel encouraged, you would starts to feel like I did it, and then you will be so proud of yourself for achieving all that on your own. Its a hard journey but the fruits are so sweet if you can preserve until the end.
Delightful ! How incredible you both are and what wonderful parents to your lovely little boy. Thank you for sharing and giving pleasure to others.
I can imagine us all all over the world, having a happy laugh together with the frog jumps twice, and Ivar jumps twice.
Spring is here, the days are long, the grass is growing, and there are chores to be done. Very nice video-the sheep were really happy to get on the grass, it is a joy to watch them eat with such enthusiasm. I'm looking forward to seeing the steers, the breed, and your plans. The hens were quite vocal.😃 Thanks for sharing your Spring adventures and it is always fun to see Ivar helping out.
😮 the flooded river - I wouldn't have recognised it
The sheep were ripping through the grass!
😂 the steer
It seems like you've had a long winter
You are both such incredibly hard workers and have such amazing goals for your farm.I am happy to help in what little way I can as a patron.Thank you for the beautiful look inside your life.Prayers headed your way as you work toward your goals.❤
I love the toad and Ivar's curiosity about it ❤. You glad you put in his words so we know what he is thinking and saying!
Lycka till med alla planerade aktiviteter, ta ingen stress. Det är för mycket! 😂
Se on niin kaunis! Olet tehnyt hienoa työtä. Minusta sauna on ihana. Kerro meille, jos tarvitset ylimääräisiä isovanhempia, jotka osaavat työskennellä myös lampaiden, vuohien, hevosten ja kanojen parissa 😉❤️
You are SUCH hard workers. I really admire it!
Thank you so much for translating your conversation to English. It is so sweet to be able to follow you talking with your darling son.
Beautiful people, there is no rush where there is harmony - peaceful mind is the metronome of things done and things to do. I know you know it. It shows.
I wish you a beautiful summer!
Thank you for sharing your story xx
I think your grandchildren will be the ones to finish your house. You are so busy you will never get to it. I like to completely finish one project before I start another one, otherwise it seems that nothing ever gets accomplished.
On a homestead the work is never "done." Living involves work. Steady plodding accomplishes much. So much satisfaction in the hands on approach to homesteading and homeschooling.
Thank you for sharing. The list of jobs you listed seems enormous. Please take care all of you, make sure you make time for yourselves and each other.
Last September, which is our spring time here on the other side of the globe, I too had the spring fever of listing what jobs had to be done, just like you. Made my list, set my self a time by which the whole of it had to be done and worked on it with the tenacity of an ant. That meant starting the day with looking at the list what job can be done on that day, rain , hail or shine and each day had to have something crossed off the list. The problem is, when the spring sunshine arrives we all tend to think we have all the energy in the world, but it does set us up for disappointment with our selves if we can't finish it all. (Not to mention if I give my self some unexpected extra work, like re-painting cabinets ) On the end I managed to get it all done as planned, but there were some hair raising moments and frayed nerves, wondering desperately whether I can do it all. Perhaps the best advice in spring time is to remind our selves not to 'bite more than we can chew'. :)
Those chickens REALLy don’t like when you mention “clay eggs” 😂
Dear Tova, Mathias and Ivar - God Bless you! You are an amazing family with everything that you do and accomplish to live the life style that you have. ❤ You may have a lot of projects going on, but never feel pressured to post videos. It's your timing and we all understand. What you are doing is not easy and everything takes time. Just know that you are accomplishing a lot with each and everything that you touch - even if it's not finish. I wish I lived where you live to come help you with your projects. My family and I just recently started watching your RUclips videos and we love your videos - very beautiful. Your little Ivar is so precious and smart. We love how you raise him to be open and to love nature. Thank you so much for inviting all of us into your world. 🙂 Cheers from Illinois, USA
Greetings! Look up electroculture if not already done so. And use copper pots for cooking and boiling water and copper tools for your gardening. Blessings!
Your little boy is really a mix of you both... last video, I found he looked more like Tova; this video, I find he looks more like you!!!! conclusion... a beautiful mix of both of you! 😅
Steers is exactly correct. Idk how to say that in Swedish though. Lol
You are the busiest little family I know. 😃
In my experience, cattle in general are much harder to keep behind fences than sheep are. I'm glad you're getting steers and not a bull. They can be very difficult to work with and can be mean. I would hate to see Tova or the baby get hurt. Even cow's with nursing calves can have bad attitudes. Lol
Can you not spend more time in winter to write out a plan for the spring & summer so you are a bit more organised & get more acheived. Its all very fine wanting to live a less hectic lifestyle but you need to accomplish more and its very demanding lifestyle you're choosing.
Nice video again and what is Ivar a fine boy🥰. But you should live your life the way you want. Life´s to short to get pushed by others. That you show a lot in video´s should not be a reason for others to say what you must do. Love from France😘
” Är det snö idag..... jahaa🙄Beundrar alla ni kämpar som bor i norr, med odlingsförutsättningar som är nära hopplöst😢
Hehe, därför är betesdjuren så viktiga. Men gräset växer oroväckande långsamt nu.
I only have a 1/4 acre and a small garden down the road, I am exhausted trying to get gardens in and tend sick chickens. I can't imagine all you do, just keep smiling, it will get done or it won't, and it will be okay. Gud välsigna.
I love the sounds of the stream. So enjoyable. Happy summer.
Love watching all your videos, looking forward to your next projects . God bless .
Hi gorgeous parents and adorable Ivar❤ no skip ads guys😊
Things will get done, when they get done👍🏼😊
Love the old blues music when you're moving the sheep😊
17:10 You are married to the most beautiful woman in the world!
It's a long To Do list but I'd say them windows are your Video priority. Also, to learn sheep shearing technique you need to waste your bandwidth on watching "The Thornbirds." You'll at least have something bothersome to think about while you shear. I think you guys are doing a fantastic job and that Ivar is your actual greatest project so far.
lol - the hens gave you some verbal feed back when you stated how they jump off the eggs, so funny. Loving Spring at Talasbuan.
I was surprised to see a toad this far north!🐸
A lot of work Mathias but take it slow!!
Tova, Mathias and Ivar it is always such a joy to see you all! That is quite a list to accomplish. I know you will do well. One day at a time. The blessings you have around you never cease to amaze me. Your work so hard and it truly shows. I cannot get enough of the pictures of the country side, rivers, animals, and of course all of your smiles. TY for all you do and the love you give in every video. God bless and love in Christ ~John
You beautiful family! You are giving the world a powerful image of human and animal life dependent on plants and the soil. A regenerative life sending ripples away and near.
I loved these intros with Ivar 😍
Was excited to see your video. Love watching your family. ❤️
That is a looonnnnng list! I wish you much success with all of your projects!
Thank babe
Love the video. Kids grow up quickly before you know it he will be helping you. One day at a time. Eventually the jobs will get done on your time scale . Look forward to the next video.
There's always something to be done. Enjoy each day working together. Stead pace. You can only do what you can do. Have a blessed week
ชื่นชมในตัวคุณ ครอบครัวคุณ❤❤❤ จากประเทศไทย !thai land ,
Always great fun to see you all working so hard and smiling!
hej, you three. anothe short view alt your life at Talasbuan. for your coming Projects don´t put too much pressure at yourself and be mor confident at the work you do.
For a non professional woodworker, Mattias, you doing an incredible job with your "Fastu" build. Spring is also for me a buisy time. Everything in the garden has to be prepared for the season. Thank you for sharing and stay well.
It is inspirational to see you create, edit, and post; even when you are overwhelmed with an exhaustive list of tasks. A few words of encouragement; I’ve been watching for a few years and have noticed your videography skills continually improve with each post. It is a true joy to witness. Thank you for sharing your craft and your life!
From an onlooker in the US.

I love your videos, I've watched from the very beginning. You have so much work to do but please continue to post. Thank you so much!!
Greetings from hot Cyprus ( currently 30 degrees Celsius) the country from where Hallumi cheese is made, hope you enjoy it !
In days gone by, when your lifestyle was 'normal', communities and greater families, could assist and make the drudgery of rural living more endurable. Having gone your route for many years with little help, it makes the shift into 'easier' living understandable; and explains why people welcomed trackers and cars and washing machines and supermarkets and, unfortunately, all the evils of convenience! I can only say, it will not get easier - until and if, your son/s and daughter/s grow up to be part of it. 🤞😊
Another great and relaxing video. Ivar is growing fast. I love the way you guys communicate with him and just let him be. A happy and a calm childhood indeed.
Lots of things to do but enjoy the summer as a family too.
Stay well and healthy.
YOURE DOING SO WONDERFUL MATTIAS DONT LOSE YOUR GOOD SENSE OF HUMOUR. you are very fortunate not to have to work in the city ha ha bless you good man
Maybe you could have an intern/student to help with the homestead chores during the summer, for the experience, without pay, for room and board. Just a thought.
Hello from Canada you awesome couple. Keep up the great work and my prayers for some siblings for Ivar :).
I was so glad to hear your to do list. It seems like all of us do that in the spring. But yours has quite a lot of huge projects. You all always get so much done though. It’s amazing. Thank you for taking the time to put these videos out for us. Hello from colorado USA.
Putting up priorities!!! It can be frustrating if you don t manage all you want to do! Be kind for yourself, decide priorities and finish one after the other. It depends a lot on your character if you live well with a too long list, know yourself. Thanks for sharing, I love your videos and lifestyle!
A strong work ethic is what life is all about. You are shaping the world you live in. You are a part of the changing seasons. A To Do list is only a guide to help steady your course. Nature may have other plans. Change is inevitable. Start by starting...
It is great to see you again. I was away. And still working hard and Ivar is growing quickly. Love to everyone ❤❤❤
I’m happy to see you are doing so many projects!! I live in Calgary Alberta Canada 🍁 and many years the month of May we get snow too! We didn’t get any this year so maybe a better year for berries. Wishing all of you the best!!
You may want to watch Sandy Brock, she raises sheep in Canada. She has a gentleman come and shear her sheep. He is very talented. Not saying your not ☺, but he may have some tips. Take care and happy spring.
You have chosen this life, and despite the hard work I know you always feel right about it. Find joy in the journey. ❤
I am going to be so very happy when you have your new home ,it will definitely happen and something to keep dreaming about🇨🇦❤️
Great video once again! :) The sauna looks so nice. I try to go to the sauna in the city almost everyday here in the US. I love it. Can't wait to see your male cows thanks for all of your hard work making these videos I look forward to them.
Wait! You left out stop world hunger and stop all wars!. My oh my that is a long list of "to do" items. I wish you the best in your efforts, what is done, is done. Much love to you all at Talasbuan
Thanks for posting and sharing. Good luck with all your plans and chores.
You are looking stronger. Eating meat helps you!! Remember you saying you were vegan at one time so with all the hard work you do I would think eating meat is the answer. Your son is precious and entertaining.
Looks that this year Sweden has a better weather than Italy... here it rains every day since more than 1 month and a half, the sun is rare and some fruits aren't growing because there is too little sunlight, fir example this is a cherryless spring.
Just re-watching this video. You guys are doing so well. God Bless you all.
Perhaps it is a wood frog that has a very short time to mate, even in the snow. But perhaps the amphibians in Sweden are different than those in northern Illinois, USA.
You can only take it one step at a time. Just stay focused and you will accomplish more. Have you heard anymore about those ridiculous windmills?
Love your videos! I think of you as half ABBA before they get famous. :)
You have a lot to do I'm sure you will get what you can done have a great spring and Summer
I laughed a lot watching the bulls in the last couple of seconds. Hope he didn’t escape.
Nice video! And interesting for those in the city who think that living in the forest can be boring! 🤣
Men kära nån, vilken lista❤!! Ni är ett team med mycket kunskap och har verkligen också god hjälp av släktingar och vänner så det ska nog gå😊👍// vänliga hälsningar Susanne
Hard workers❤ you can use some help😅 stay strong😊
Always good to see you! Your little boy is growing so fast!. I knew a little fellow who liked to put frogs in his pockets😂😂😂
Show !!! Saudações desde Brasil 🇧🇷
You will get all your projects
done and God bless your
family.
Det låter som att du behöver bättre tidshantering. Vad är viktigt för din familj om det (till exempel) bara finns ett projekt att göra? Vissa du nämnde kan luta sig tillbaka...men vad behöver göras innan all den snön kommer tillbaka? Jag skulle vilja att du fokuserar på tre (till att börja med). På så sätt brinner inte ni båda i onödan värdefull energi.
