My husband and I were stationed in Germany from 1989 to 1993 and we had the dressers you now have. Since the military was downsizing they gave soldiers the option to buy these for $15 a piece. They had night stands, headboards, huge china cabinets. We bought end tables and dressers and brought them home. They are incredibly heavy! Glad you found some and they are dearly loved. You may have some dressers that came home with service members from Germany! I really, really love your home.
Hello Lola! Thank you for watching and taking the time to comment. We feel so blessed to have this home! I am obsessed with finding unique things and the one in the laundry room was a big win, especially way up here in Alaska! Have a wonderful week!
This was a wonderful video! Your house is gorgeous. I’m looking forward to the pantry. I love to cook, was my occupation and I went to culinarily school. You designed the kitchen beautifully. I worked a few years and did college but had to stop. I broke my neck and back years ago but, it was getting worse. I was paralyzed from the neck down but, God had plans. He healed me. It’s a documented miracle! My story ran 3 full pages in a newspaper as well I was on a miracle show. All that to say, you did so good designing your home!
Anna that is an amazing story of healing, reading this really inspires me alot. Thankyou so much for sharing this with us and l hope you continue to do well and inspire others 🙏

Hello and welcome!! I’m so glad you found our channel. You are on top of things to be finishing your holiday shopping!! Good luck getting your closet cleaned out.
You do an amazing job on all of your videos! I love how you have a place for everything and everything in it's place! I was an elementary school teacher also years ago and can see how you were such a good one. Great training for four growing boys and now your little earth angel, Violet. Can't wait until we can see how she grows up in your future videos. I was a 30 week premie too back in 1947 and I know my mom said I was all caught up by 14 months of age. Potty trained myself at 18 months! Have a glorious spring when you can get outside with baby Violet. Karen in Minnesota

Oh Katie, my heart aches for your loss, bet your Mum is so proud of you in getting your dream home, gone but never forgotten hold those memories close to your heart. ❤
I so admire what your whole family did for Mark's parents. A true joyful event! What was accomplished with the remodel created a great home. Function! AND I have been researching and experimenting with new fish recipes. To share them, when successful, should I use the business e-mail? P.S. As a bath lady here -- you have earned a long and quiet soak! XO
Thank you, it was a great group effort and I am so glad it all came together so beautifully! I would love to have fish recipes, please e-mail them to thehammhomestead@gmail.com A long and quiet soak sounds wonderful!
Thank you so much Chirstine! I am so glad you are here and enjoying the videos! I am having so much fun sharing a bit of our life here in AK! Hope you have a wonderful week ahead!
😲Oh! My! Goodness! This is the video I've been waiting for!!! And so excited for the future ones she mentioned! (The details are better then what I imagined, so much originality and mindfulness!🤩)
Once again, you made my day with your comment. I am so glad that it was what you were wanting to see. Thank you so much for being here, it means a lot to me!
I couldnt help but notice while I was watching this 2 year old video. When you pan into Hunters bathroom on the Magazine rack. The heading of the title is magnolia .. it just made for a sweet moment. It’s as if u would have a sweet Maggie. And you still do she is 100% in Gods memory and he will wake her one day. It’s a promise at Revelation 21:3-4
Beautiful beautiful gorgeous house I specially love the boys bathroom great idea and they the bathroom lol 😂 my favorite rooms. your bathroom and your kitchen ❤️❤️❤️❤️😊
Hello Mary! I am so glad you enjoyed coming along for the tour. We love this home and feel so grateful for how it functions for our family and inviting people in. Bathroom and kitchens are very important rooms lol! Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment
You're welcome Jan! I love our home and am so grateful for it. I like simple, my motto for home has always been balancing functional with beautiful! If it's too fancy it is hard to really LIVE in it and we do a lot of living here. Thank you for being here!
Joan depression and anxiety really suck the life out of you l can relate, have faith that you will get better, it may not look like the way you had been before and you may not feel the same but it gets better, it gets easier and l can promise you that🙏 Hope you are getting some professional help or support. X
You're welcome Amber! Thank you so much for watching, I am so glad you enjoyed the tour. It was so much fun to design and I couldn't be happier with how it all came together. I hope you have a wonderful week!
Fell in love with your soaking tub. That is a real blessing. The size of all your rooms are king size and I really like all the windows. Very beautiful. You did a awesome job.
I so enjoyed the videos of the wedding anniversary party! Looked so nice there! Got some family members in the hospital. One with Covid and had stroke. Other stroke. God is good though! I know he can heal!
I am so sorry to hear about your family being sick Barbara. Thank you for allowing me to pray for you and for them. I am so glad the anniversary party turned out well, it was a labor of love and I am grateful I was a part of it. Have a wonderful week and I hope you feel my prayers.
Love all the changes you have made. Your whole life style must have changed as you made the changes and building extensions. You and uour family are so loving. And I it's great to see all the cuddles.
Hello Pat! We feel so blessed to have this home to raise our kids in and invite people over. Thank you for the kind words. Hope you have a wonderful week ahead!
you have an amazing house! i think my favorite rooms are the boys bathroom, I just love the tiles on the floor and how you have the whole room set up and the laundry room. The sink is just wonderful. I tried to get an antique farm sink for my kitchen years ago and my, then husband, vetoed the idea. I just love yours. Thank you for sharing your beautiful home. Stay safe....Vickie
Hello Vickie! Thank you so much for all your kind words. We feel so grateful for this home and all the memories we are making here. My husband vetoed the farm sink as well so I slipped it into the laundry design LOL! He has never mentioned it again so I think that is a win. Sometimes they just don't have the vision! I hope you have a wonderful week!
Hi Lauren, your home is gorgeous it’s so true what they say if you’re going to remodel you place do the kitchen & bathrooms. I love your bathroom the soaking tub is my favorite. I’d like for you to keep me in your prayers the holidays are hard for me. When my mom, dad & sister was here we celebrated the holidays & had fun now that they’re gone it’s not the same anymore. You know that saying time heals all wounds the wounds are still there I’ve just learned to deal with it anyways that you 💜
Hello Kim! I am glad you enjoyed touring the house. I am so sorry that the holidays are hard for you, I can only imagine it brings up all the feelings of missing your family. I will for sure keep you in my prayers. Thank you so much for being here, enjoy the rest of your weekend.
Hello Myra! Always so nice to see you in the comments. Thanks for the kind words about the house, we feel so blessed with how it all came together. How fun to get to make your home uniquely yours, I love that! Have a wonderful week!
You have a beautiful home! I'm taking notes so when we put our addition on, hopefully within 2 years. So excited! I love your style. Excited for your pantry tour. We don't have a pantry right now and I love the idea of a butlers pantry type pantry. I'd like to ask prayers for my sister who is currently in the hospital. Praying for a quick recovery over these next few days.
Hello! Thank you so much! I'm glad you felt inspired watching it, remodels are a lot of work but I loved every minute of watching it come together. A butlers pantry is so helpful, especially if you do a lot of cooking at home! I'm so sorry about your sister, I pray for a quick recovery for her. Thank you for letting me pray for you!
HI kariAnn, lve got some space in our prayer chain and l will add your Sister to ours as well. Hoping for a speedy recovery and home from Hospital really soon to heal🙏
Thank you Vickey! The lockers are so helpful with all of our Alaska gear, I am so grateful my Dad was able to help bring that vision into reality! Hope you have a wonderful week and thank you for watching.
Hello in Jamaica! I love that we can connect from around the world! Thank you for the compliments on the party, I am so grateful for how it all came together. Such a great thing to celebrate after the hard year we have all had. Thanks for watching!
@@ThisAlaskaLife Yes its indeed great that we are able to connect from so far. God is amazing. I am happy that the party was a success and I know that Mark's parents really appreciated all the efforts that you their Daughter-in-law put into making it a success. Well done
Your house is GORGEOUS! I showed my husband how neat and clean it is...I said see this is how I want it all the time! (It is clean..I just want him to pick up after himself for Pete's sake lol) he is ex military so he's been trained! But I think he just believes oh Chelle will do it...after I showed him your house and explained you have a husband and several little ones, he went and loaded the dishwasher AND loaded the washer! Sooo I shall share MORE w him..ha ha..I went on his phone and subscribed to your channel..I said there you can watch how put together they are ! Ha ha
Thank you so much, Michelle. We can always use a little nudge to remember to clean up after ourselves, me included. I do feel better when the house is picked up and cleaned. Thank you for being here, we are so grateful!
You did a fabulous job on the party!!!!!! Your home looks amazing, what a difference from the original home. Sending you much aloha from Kauai, Hawaii.
Thank you so much! The party really was special and I am glad I took the time to document it. I think we will enjoy it again in the future. Watching the remodel come together was one of my favorite things ever, I loved every minute of it. Thanks for watching ALOHA!
I love all of that space you have! Our 3 kids are all grown and in their 30's. Been in our current house for 33 years and I really to want to do a major remodel on it. We have 3400 sq ft with 5 bedrooms, but I want my family room and kitchen to be bigger.
@@ThisAlaskaLife you are very welcome. I enjoy learning from you about Alaska Life. I would love to see your freezers full since we saw the emptied video. I'm curious how long it will last you all and if you've ever had trouble getting supplies during winter months. Do you have long term food storage and how much tp do you buy during winter months and have you ever been scared to run out? I get extremely anxious during winter months but I am limited on what I can do. But I always have basics for sure.
Thank you so much Natalie! I really love home decor and design so it was a dream come true to get to pick and choose things for the remodel. I loved every minute of it. I don't ever want to move but I have dreams of building other things in the future! Thanks for watching!
Your house design is so smart. You seem to have so much space! It's very nice. I really like how your kitchen and main living is on top, because your view out the windows is wonderful.
This is the first video of yours I have watched. I loved it! Your great! I am originally from Kodiak, but raised my two girls in Anchorage. I can remember when Anchorage was much smaller and much cooler. Since my husband passed I am now living outside of Portland Oregon. I get soooooo homesick and your video helped! keep up the good work and thank you for making your videos! I am now off to watch all of your past videos. have a great one!
Hello Laura! I am so glad you found us! I am so sorry that you lost your husband, many prayers for you and your two girls. I can imagine it is hard to be away from Alaska, it sure has a way of capturing your heart. I hope you enjoy our other videos, we are having a good time sharing a bit of our life. Hope you have a wonderful week!
Sandy when ever l see beautiful homes my first thought is "do they have a cleaner"? because those stairs alone would exhaust me and lm not even old!! Lauren and the boys seem to do a wonderful job and l love her attitude "this house is actually lived in" 👍
I love your bathroom!! You’re whole house is wonderful. Glad the party went well, it sure looked fun. Thanks for asking how we all are, life can be good and sometimes it can be hard, it’s a bit hard right now. I hope you and your family are doing well .
Hello Tina! I am sorry that you are having a hard time right now. Life is full of ups and downs but it doesn't hurt to have some extra love and prayers when things are a bit hard. We have some big things happening with some of our family and friends right now so I understand! Thank you for always being here, I hope you find some joy in your week! Thanks for the compliments on our home, the bathroom really is my sanctuary!
Hi Tina, l hope things get easier for you. Lauren has recently helped me through some tough moments and honestly her prayers and support made such a difference so l hope you feel the same, until things get better just remember to be kind to yourself ❤
My goodness your house is gorgeous, it’s nice to have the house work for your family. All those windows brighten the house up, and it didn’t look like 4 kids live there. 😁
Hello Cathy! Thank you so much for your kind words about our home. I really try and make it work for our family. This past 18 months I have really had to declutter and become more minimal to keep from going crazy. Too much stuff and us all being home all the time was overwhelming. I am grateful the kids are back in school so I can spend a bit more time keeping up with the cleaning. Thanks for watching, have a great week!
@@ThisAlaskaLife Good morning, I enjoy Watching your videos and learning the difference between Alaska and MICHIGAN. From the different outings to the shopping to your beautiful home. I have 2 son's and 5 grandchildren whom I adore, they keep me busy and I don't have time to feel sorry for myself. I look forward to watching more of your videos.
I just love ❤️ Luna she’s such a sweetheart. House cleans up really good and is so spacious. Having 5 males in the house makes a ensuite for you a necessity not a luxury. Thank you for asking how we all are that is so beautiful of you. The way you asked felt like you were asking me directly. So let me ask how are you. Wishes sent from Australia.
My husband and I were stationed in Germany from 1989 to 1993 and we had the dressers you now have. Since the military was downsizing they gave soldiers the option to buy these for $15 a piece. They had night stands, headboards, huge china cabinets. We bought end tables and dressers and brought them home. They are incredibly heavy! Glad you found some and they are dearly loved. You may have some dressers that came home with service members from Germany! I really, really love your home.
So cool! I love them and their history.
I am so happy the way you and Mark teach the boys how to do stuff how they cook and everything God bless them God bless you for being great parents
Your house is beautiful from the open space to all the storage I love all the old sinks.

i love the design of your house so nice and very relaxing
Fell in love with your soaking tub. That is a real blessing. The size of all your rooms are king size and I really like all the windows. Very beautiful. You did a awesome job.
Thank you so much! We feel so blessed to have this home and open it up to others when we can. Thanks for watching, have a wonderful week!
Enjoyed this video immensely! Thanks for sharing your home and remodel with me, it's just lovely!!
I so enjoyed the videos of the wedding anniversary party! Looked so nice there! Got some family members in the hospital. One with Covid and had stroke. Other stroke. God is good though! I know he can heal!
I am so sorry to hear about your family being sick Barbara. Thank you for allowing me to pray for you and for them. I am so glad the anniversary party turned out well, it was a labor of love and I am grateful I was a part of it. Have a wonderful week and I hope you feel my prayers.
Hi Barbara, gosh we are having a rough time of it the world over, take comfort in your faith at this difficult time 🙏
Your remodel turned out beautiful! Seems like you thought of everything! All my best to you and your beautiful family. I love your videos!
I love your house it’s so beautiful and well thought out.
Thank you for sharing your home with us ❤.
Love all the changes you have made.
Your whole life style must have changed as you made the changes and building extensions.
You and uour family are so loving.
And I it's great to see all the cuddles.
Hi hope your well, wow you have a lovely spacious house I love it, thank you for sharing ☺️😊👍👍
Hello Pat! We feel so blessed to have this home to raise our kids in and invite people over. Thank you for the kind words. Hope you have a wonderful week ahead!
you have an amazing house! i think my favorite rooms are the boys bathroom, I just love the tiles on the floor and how you have the whole room set up and the laundry room. The sink is just wonderful. I tried to get an antique farm sink for my kitchen years ago and my, then husband, vetoed the idea. I just love yours. Thank you for sharing your beautiful home. Stay safe....Vickie
Hello Vickie! Thank you so much for all your kind words. We feel so grateful for this home and all the memories we are making here. My husband vetoed the farm sink as well so I slipped it into the laundry design LOL! He has never mentioned it again so I think that is a win. Sometimes they just don't have the vision! I hope you have a wonderful week!
Your house remodel is amazing. It looks beautiful.
Enjoying the channel and I daily take a longs to your day.
Glad to hear it Mitzi! I am so grateful you are here.
Hi Lauren, your home is gorgeous it’s so true what they say if you’re going to remodel you place do the kitchen & bathrooms. I love your bathroom the soaking tub is my favorite. I’d like for you to keep me in your prayers the holidays are hard for me. When my mom, dad & sister was here we celebrated the holidays & had fun now that they’re gone it’s not the same anymore. You know that saying time heals all wounds the wounds are still there I’ve just learned to deal with it anyways that you 💜
Darn it, I meant thank you 😊
Hello Kim! I am glad you enjoyed touring the house. I am so sorry that the holidays are hard for you, I can only imagine it brings up all the feelings of missing your family. I will for sure keep you in my prayers. Thank you so much for being here, enjoy the rest of your weekend.
My family needs prayers from Kentucky and love your videos and sweet family ❤ hugs 🤗🤗🤗🤗
You have a beautiful home. Loved the video.
Hello Kerry! I am so glad you enjoyed coming along to look at the house. Have a wonderful week!
I love the openness of your beautiful home. Also, I agree, it does look like you live in a tree house! Absolutely beautiful.
Hello! Thanks for watching, we feel so blessed to have this home. We love the trees! Have a wonderful weekend
Loved the tour. Thanks for showing us your beautiful home!
You are so welcome!
Wow what a transformation, it’s really incredible! When we had our house built I was able to change some things around that make it uniquely ours.
Hello Myra! Always so nice to see you in the comments. Thanks for the kind words about the house, we feel so blessed with how it all came together. How fun to get to make your home uniquely yours, I love that! Have a wonderful week!
Doing as good as can be exspected, this country and prices terrible.Hope all is well with you.Love you guys.
You have a beautiful home! I'm taking notes so when we put our addition on, hopefully within 2 years. So excited! I love your style. Excited for your pantry tour. We don't have a pantry right now and I love the idea of a butlers pantry type pantry.
I'd like to ask prayers for my sister who is currently in the hospital. Praying for a quick recovery over these next few days.
Hello! Thank you so much! I'm glad you felt inspired watching it, remodels are a lot of work but I loved every minute of watching it come together. A butlers pantry is so helpful, especially if you do a lot of cooking at home! I'm so sorry about your sister, I pray for a quick recovery for her. Thank you for letting me pray for you!
HI kariAnn, lve got some space in our prayer chain and l will add your Sister to ours as well. Hoping for a speedy recovery and home from Hospital really soon to heal🙏
@@brilliantbutblue thank you so much!
Love your house, perfectly planned for your family💖
The house is amazing! I love all the utility and storage space.
Your home is just beautiful. I loved the lockers.
Thank you Vickey! The lockers are so helpful with all of our Alaska gear, I am so grateful my Dad was able to help bring that vision into reality! Hope you have a wonderful week and thank you for watching.
The house tour is amazing. You did a wonderful job with the remodel.
Love your vlogs. You guys did a great job with the party. Just take your time and get thinhs done.. watching you from Jamaica 🇯🇲
Hello in Jamaica! I love that we can connect from around the world! Thank you for the compliments on the party, I am so grateful for how it all came together. Such a great thing to celebrate after the hard year we have all had. Thanks for watching!
@@ThisAlaskaLife Yes its indeed great that we are able to connect from so far. God is amazing. I am happy that the party was a success and I know that Mark's parents really appreciated all the efforts that you their Daughter-in-law put into making it a success. Well done
GREAT we have you to brighten our life and we thank you for that.
Thanks for sharing your GORGEOUS home! That was fun!!!! 💕🎃💕 see u soon

Beautiful Home, just discovered your channel and love the videos. Great job.
You have an absolutely beautiful home
Love the open floor plan !
So do we! We are so grateful. Thanks for watching Natasha.
breath-taking house in Alaska!!!!
Your house is GORGEOUS! I showed my husband how neat and clean it is...I said see this is how I want it all the time! (It is clean..I just want him to pick up after himself for Pete's sake lol) he is ex military so he's been trained! But I think he just believes oh Chelle will do it...after I showed him your house and explained you have a husband and several little ones, he went and loaded the dishwasher AND loaded the washer! Sooo I shall share MORE w him..ha ha..I went on his phone and subscribed to your channel..I said there you can watch how put together they are ! Ha ha
Thank you so much, Michelle. We can always use a little nudge to remember to clean up after ourselves, me included. I do feel better when the house is picked up and cleaned. Thank you for being here, we are so grateful!
Good evening Lauren and thank you for sharing ❤
You did a fabulous job on the party!!!!!! Your home looks amazing, what a difference from the original home. Sending you much aloha from Kauai, Hawaii.
Thank you so much! The party really was special and I am glad I took the time to document it. I think we will enjoy it again in the future. Watching the remodel come together was one of my favorite things ever, I loved every minute of it. Thanks for watching ALOHA!
Love, love your bathroom!!
Thank you! It’s my happy place!
I love all of that space you have! Our 3 kids are all grown and in their 30's. Been in our current house for 33 years and I really to want to do a major remodel on it. We have 3400 sq ft with 5 bedrooms, but I want my family room and kitchen to be bigger.
I’m fairly new to your channel. This remodel is fantastic. Love it all
Thank you! We are very grateful to have this home.
That was an amazing transformation!!!! You have a beautiful home!!!
Thank you so much, I am so glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for being here Tammy!
@@ThisAlaskaLife you are very welcome. I enjoy learning from you about Alaska Life. I would love to see your freezers full since we saw the emptied video. I'm curious how long it will last you all and if you've ever had trouble getting supplies during winter months. Do you have long term food storage and how much tp do you buy during winter months and have you ever been scared to run out? I get extremely anxious during winter months but I am limited on what I can do. But I always have basics for sure.
I love your house and your design style!
Thank you so much Natalie! I really love home decor and design so it was a dream come true to get to pick and choose things for the remodel. I loved every minute of it. I don't ever want to move but I have dreams of building other things in the future! Thanks for watching!
Your house design is so smart. You seem to have so much space! It's very nice. I really like how your kitchen and main living is on top, because your view out the windows is wonderful.
Thank you 😊 We feel so blessed to have this home. It was crazy how we found it, I will have to tell that story sometime! Thanks for watching!!
Awesome bathroom and love the remodel😊❤
Your house is amazing! I love all the windows and natural sunlight. You did a wonderful job at the remodel. I love all of that space!!
Thanks Janai! I feel so blessed to have this home and be able to host so many people. Thank you so much for being here ❤️
This is the first video of yours I have watched. I loved it! Your great! I am originally from Kodiak, but raised my two girls in Anchorage. I can remember when Anchorage was much smaller and much cooler. Since my husband passed I am now living outside of Portland Oregon. I get soooooo homesick and your video helped! keep up the good work and thank you for making your videos! I am now off to watch all of your past videos. have a great one!
Hello Laura! I am so glad you found us! I am so sorry that you lost your husband, many prayers for you and your two girls. I can imagine it is hard to be away from Alaska, it sure has a way of capturing your heart. I hope you enjoy our other videos, we are having a good time sharing a bit of our life. Hope you have a wonderful week!
Love the video I love watching all your videos
Lovely home
Thank you for sharing your beautiful home it would be too much for me to ever clean but you're so much younger
😊 thank you! It is often too much for me to clean too! Thanks for watching Sandy
Sandy when ever l see beautiful homes my first thought is "do they have a cleaner"? because those stairs alone would exhaust me and lm not even old!! Lauren and the boys seem to do a wonderful job and l love her attitude "this house is actually lived in" 👍
Thank you for the tour of your absolutely stunning home.
You are so welcome! Thank you for watching!
Hi sweet lady. Love your home. You did a great job with your in-laws party.
Thank you so much Diane! It was a lot of work but I am so glad it came together. Have a wonderful weekend!
GREAT LOOKING HOUSE
I love your bathroom!! You’re whole house is wonderful. Glad the party went well, it sure looked fun. Thanks for asking how we all are, life can be good and sometimes it can be hard, it’s a bit hard right now. I hope you and your family are doing well .
Hello Tina! I am sorry that you are having a hard time right now. Life is full of ups and downs but it doesn't hurt to have some extra love and prayers when things are a bit hard. We have some big things happening with some of our family and friends right now so I understand! Thank you for always being here, I hope you find some joy in your week! Thanks for the compliments on our home, the bathroom really is my sanctuary!
Hi Tina, l hope things get easier for you. Lauren has recently helped me through some tough moments and honestly her prayers and support made such a difference so l hope you feel the same, until things get better just remember to be kind to yourself ❤
@@brilliantbutblue thank you
My goodness your house is gorgeous, it’s nice to have the house work for your family. All those windows brighten the house up, and it didn’t look like 4 kids live there. 😁
Hello Cathy! Thank you so much for your kind words about our home. I really try and make it work for our family. This past 18 months I have really had to declutter and become more minimal to keep from going crazy. Too much stuff and us all being home all the time was overwhelming. I am grateful the kids are back in school so I can spend a bit more time keeping up with the cleaning. Thanks for watching, have a great week!
@@ThisAlaskaLife Good morning, I enjoy Watching your videos and learning the difference between Alaska and MICHIGAN. From the different outings to the shopping to your beautiful home. I have 2 son's and 5 grandchildren whom I adore, they keep me busy and I don't have time to feel sorry for myself. I look forward to watching more of your videos.
Absolutely amazing stunning beautiful home 💜🥰😘
Thank you so much Tanya!
@@ThisAlaskaLife very welcome :)
I would never be able to clean that house. Good thing your young. Stairs are a killer on older people. Nice home.
I thought my favorite of your spaces was the fireplace room and then you showed your bathroom. Lovely space!
Thank you, two of my favorite places! Thank you so much for watching!
Your house is beautiful, Thanks for sharing.
Thank you so much! I am glad you enjoyed coming along.
the lockers & big bathroom are cool
I just love ❤️ Luna she’s such a sweetheart. House cleans up really good and is so spacious. Having 5 males in the house makes a ensuite for you a necessity not a luxury. Thank you for asking how we all are that is so beautiful of you. The way you asked felt like you were asking me directly. So let me ask how are you. Wishes sent from Australia.
Thanks Robyn, glad you enjoyed the tour. I am doing well. Keeping really busy making and editing vidoes! Thanks for being here!
Beautiful house.
Love your home !!!
Hello! Thank you so much, we feel so blessed to have this home. Thank you for watching, have a wonderful week!

Great job Mama 👍💕
Thank you so much Lacey!
