Hi..i normally dont comment even though have i have been binge watching all your video's.All i want to say is that i have much respect for you and all you do.Before anyone says anything negative..let them.walk in your shoes..
I feel like I am waiting for my pen pal to write back. I feel like I have a best friend that i can talk to. Ty for being who you are, I am happy to be invited.
I homestead on a very small scale. By myself. I have some health issues that prevent me from doing stuff some days. And other days i can do absolutely nothing. So i get you. Homesteading is a lifestyle. I feel like there's no completion just the next fire to put out. Let negative comments pay what theyre worth. NOTHING!
Never listen or read negative comments. When you look in the mirror every morning see the person we (your followers) see, a strong, multi talented person.
Also a lady who struggles with health issues and makes a big difference in her family's lives! Nissa you are amazing. There will always be people judging in bad ways but remember us your followers who find you to be the very best!
@@jomackay8889 you guys are acting like I said something negative towards her .I didn't you all must have husbands that always are helping more than you need lol ..he's a dude..It's not personal.
I very much respect and admire you, Nyssa. A bush block would be so challenging for homesteading - so much work! And ... managing chronic health issues with six kids as well - I can't even begin to fathom how you manage. I'd like to say, I can listen to your "squirrels" easily. You mentioned you have trouble finding words, but you are so articulate; your speech flows very freely, and you're obviously highly intelligent and creative. With some other RUclipsrs, a half-hour voice-over puts me to sleep. You keep me hanging on your every word! Please don't let nay-sayers affect the content you create - they're everywhere right now, and they're obviously very disturbed and sad individuals who need to find another outlet to manage their issues.
I'm thick skinned which is lucky hehe, Darryl avoids the comments because he struggles, but mostly I can just shrug things off, but I do sit there and think, why, why would you make that kinda comment a lot hehe. I think the Aussie bush definitely impacts a lot of things in the 'homesteading' sense, there's more and different challenges added on!
As a suffer of trig neuralgia and a wife of a husband who had a serious mental health breakdown I 💯 understand how life is! And you have 6 kids to look after and homeschool. You and everything you have achieved is amazing! I love that you keep things real and show that life isn't always sunshine and roses! Also talking about chronic illness and mental health is creating a voice for health issues that often people cannot see so therefore don't understand. ❤❤
Darryl always says he's happy for me to discuss it from my side because he doesn't think it is spoken enough about. But I struggle because I don't like to harp on it, or blame things on it either hehe :D
Nyssa, you and your husband have suffered the loss of a business. Both of you have had and still have health issues. You are great parents, you are a wonderful cook for your family. Take no notice of the negative comments. I think you are doing a fabulous job, especially on such a limited income. I know I couldn't do it. Watching your videos always gives me a lift. You always smile even when things are going wrong ❤
Hello Nyssa please don't worry what others think. I think you are amazing with everything you do. It is a pleasure to watch you. We all have our problems you can only do what you can do. All us genuine subscribers will always be here for you. Take care. Love and hugs to you all. Maree ❤️❤️❤️
I feel this for you . I have had 3 strokes this year , Crohn’s disease for years, Rheumatoid Arthritis, permanent brain damage from strokes , heart disease , high blood pressure, migraines and recovering from surgery to remove a tumor from my throat and base of my tongue . I live chronic pain all day every day!!!! Meds are horrible for sure !!!! I get it !!! You do what you need to do for you and your family!!!!! Please don’t concern yourself with ugly comments. You are an amazing woman !!!! I love watching your channel!!!!!! Never do why can’t I !!!!! Those others don’t live with your health ! I know they don’t !!! I deal with the same thoughts !!!! Please know I will be praying for you and thinking about you !!!! Right there with you clear in America!!!!!! ❤ God bless !
You are amazing Nyssa… you and Darryl have a lot on your plate, your viewers accept that and are very grateful for anytime you post a video.. we are interested xx💐😊
I’ve been in my house for 24 years. It needed massive repairs when I bought it. But the location and the land made it worth it to us. I’m still making adjustments and changes and upgrades to it. 24 years later. It takes money and time. It also takes knowledge. Sometimes baby steps are the only steps you’re able to make. Try not to let the ignorant people bother you. Keep moving forward. My dad used to say that the only way to eat an elephant is one bite at a time. It may take years, but it will get done. When my father in law lost his license to drive, we took his truck so he’d stop trying to drive. That was 9 years ago. He passed away 5 years ago and because he never got the title we have not been able to get rid of it. No one will buy it without the title. No one will scrap it without the title. We’ve tried to get a replacement title and an abandoned title. One thing or another has prevented that. So we have an old, ugly, beat up, non running truck in the driveway. It’s hideous. I hate looking at it. But what did I do? People don’t know your circumstances. It’s easy to say what someone else should do, how they should do it, etc. everyone is an expert on other people’s lives, but their own are what they need to concentrate on. Ignore the ignorance the best you can. I’m also bipolar. Life is sometimes a struggle. And anyone that doesn’t deal with mental health has no clue how hard life can be to navigate some days. The internet has created a vile society that for some reason feel they have the right to say whatever ridiculous crap pops into their empty heads. Everyone starts somewhere and we never know what’s going on inside other people’s homes. People usually only put the good on the internet. We need more people to be real. I love that you’re so normal and relatable. I appreciate that you are honest and not pretentious. So keep on moving forward. Don’t let life get you down. You have created a beautiful life. It may need to improve, but most of us live lives that need to be improved too. Are we going to be able to get things shipped to the USA? I really want a family tree for my mom for Christmas.
I am sorry people are mean and critical. I would say ignore them but I am sure that is difficult. I love your life. You are surrounded by family. You do amazing food products. You are debt free and not dealing with working 9-5 and being gone from home. You have made a life many of us envy. Thank you for sharing your health journey.
Hey Nyssa I have followed along with you for a long time and want to say thank you for keeping it real, not sugar coating the ups and downs and showing your reality of living off grid with a large family who doesn't have a huge disposable income. There is a saying that "Comparison is the thief of joy" and its so true. There are many people in our country doing it so tough, what you and Darryl have managed to achieve is absolutely amazing and I'm sure you have inspired and given hope to many by showing what youve done so far. Homesteading/Farming is often one step forward and 2 steps back especially when growing your own food and raising animals, we are at the mercy of Mother Nature and thats out of our control. Keep moving forward, keep sharing content and block out that negative white noise 😊🌻🌞
Hi, I am someone who just ‘popped in’ to your videos to listen to your story. I feel so sad and at the same time super empowered and validated by your journey. As to people making negative comments , all I have to say is that they are not in your shoes. I have fibromyalgia, Hashimotos and other health conditions myself. I live alone, with no children and live in a small space. Yet, I find it so very difficult to manage pain, work and maintain my space and live at a very basic level without including people or having any responsibilities for other humans in my life. So I cannot imagine how you prioritise every single task, per person/animals, maintain a property, manage your finances each day and maintain relationships - being a wife/partner, being a mother and trying to have your own creative outlets, building social media content that is not only for your joy and pleasure but also helps other people. Keep doing what you love at a manageable level that is good for your health. Thank you for sharing your journey.
I would like to say, no one has any right in life to send negative comments or thoughts, you give your all to the videos, your family and life. Stay strong, we watch from all over the world. Tam xx UK
You’re doing it. Life is rarely orderly or graceful. When I see your videos, I see a brave family living in a completely different way than what I’m used to. I have nothing but respect for you all.
People always have crap to say but I guarantee their lives aren’t any better. You’re super woman for all the different things you need to do to help keep your household going.
Lovely to see you back on RUclips miss your videos don’t mind what the begrudgers have to say you have 6 beautiful children and a happy safe home, hoping your health issues can return to a manageable level and wishing you all the best with your shop launch… personally your my favourite channel to watch and I just really enjoy when you post videos so keep just being yourself and look after yourself and do what’s right for you and your family xxx
For folks who desire perfection, they must have a massive disposable income, and never built a Homestead from scratch. For those of us who live on a tight budget and we have what we need, but budgeting is a necessity for survival. As a mom we frequently put our needs, including our health, last. But it eventually will require our attention. You have done an incredible job 👏 doing all that you have. I absolutely love your video's, especially your chatting with us.😊
Wow. It sucks you felt the need to explain yourself. Living off grid takes a special person and family. I couldn’t imagine not doing things on my time. When I feel motivated to take on a project I take it on. It’s obvious y’all work extremely hard. The fact that you’re keeping yourself, kids, animals and a garden alive off grid is amazing. I can’t even fathom having that many projects going on at once. Making dinner everyday for my family of 3 feels overwhelming. I too have bouts of high blood pressure so I hope you get yours under control. I can’t believe you’re able to have so many things health wise going on and you keep chugging along.
Hello from Northern California. I nearly cried listening to your side effects from the medications. I still take the same ones. I have had all the same symptoms as well. Weight gain as well. The loss for words and just over all brain fog is so disheartening. I just want to validate your point and that I see you and I hear you. You’re not alone. 🙏🏽
@@OurSmallFootprint i completely understand. I have tried so many different things. N yet always come back to the same stuff. It’s like do you want some pain relief? However at the cost of your memory. Let alone how completely it can wipe you out. I did a spirulina and sea moss cleanse to remove toxins and heavy metals from my body. Especially after years of these drugs. Felt better but still need them.
I can only join in with what everyone else has already said. You do you , don’t listen to the negative ppl. Listen to those who support you. Life sucks and IS hard, but you keep going. And you do it great. Because you and your family is great. ❤
Nyissa when I heard you going into details about your health issues I immediately thought why. Answer is trolls…I.e negative people. Everyone has unique circumstances. You are amazing truly. You feed your children a very natural balanced, homemade diet. You go over and beyond. Your stamina and energy is to be applauded. Please remember they do not experience your circumstances you do. I just wish I could do half as much. Of course if we could we would, no ones place is perfect, unless there’s a team of gardeners, cleaners, cooks and others. You are a true Australian, doing the best you can under adverse conditions. Ignore them, don’t let them in your head, block them, they have no empathy. We love you for who you are. I love seeing slices of your life. But remember it’s your life not theirs. I bet they don’t achieve even a quarter of what you do. Keep on doing you girl, 🇦🇺🎸⚡️🤘🏾🤘🏼💋💙💙
If people want to complain then that's on them. They haven't watched your videos and see all the hard work you all do. Life isn't easy and especially off grid with a large family. I'd like to see the people who are negative go out there and do it! Love the videos. Take your time❤🎉
People attack because honestly they are jealous they want to hurt because they hurt . Honestly you guys are amazing. Love you and have learned alot from your videos. People who attack dont understand life on a bush block they have no idea. Work never ends and its a life time on going of chores. You are amazing.
Hello lovely girl, I know it is difficult to ignore some of the comments that are posted, sticks and stones, these people really are not people that I am sure you would not want to be friends with, Just know that if I lived near you I would be proud to call you a friend............I am nearly 75, trust me life will get easier as the years roll along. Take care lovely and try and rest a little to relax your mind. I love hearing your geese!!!
Hi Nyssa….can I just say, you and Darryl are doing a fantastic job, you have both lived with major health issues and to achieve what you have is brilliant….your property and children are a credit to you both….i also live with chronic pain and it isn’t easy. As far as the negative people and comments, ignore them, I enjoy your videos and listening to , what you say , your squirrel rambling ! You are a credit as parents and homesteaders! Keep up what you are doing! ❤️
Oh Nyssa, thank you for sharing your life with us and we all go though tough times but many of us don’t share so it was very brave of you to share with us. We are just happy to watch whatever you are able to put out. When mum is not well it is very hard to hold everything together but you are amazing in what you can do. It has been a snap shot of your life and now understand how hard some days can be and with the stress of life, family and low income. Once again thank you and our thoughts and prayers go out to you and your family. One day at a time 💖
Hi Nyssa. I did comment yesterday but somehow it didn't post.. I just love your channel, don't worry about the small minded people whom are negative.. your home is the way its ment to be a wonderful home with great parents. You are real you show your home the way you live and that's the best thing. You don't sugar coat.. I have been hospitalised twice from a nervous breakdown also live with an ABI & sometimes its a big struggle... one day at a time. Everything will fall into place , you are a fantastic home maker, cook and human.. we love your 🦫🦫, wouldn't be a vlog without it... I hope the little critters stay out of your garden as that looks great... I look forward to the shop opening and what wonderful items you create... There is always squabbling in a large family especially when children mature, a part of life.. Have a great week look forward to your next vlog...
Nyssa, you are amazing in what you do and how much you do. You are very intelligent in my mind and your cooking skills are amazing. Personally I look up to you. Look after yourself ❤
I’ve been watching for a while now and your homestead has progressed so much since I started watching. There will always be keyboard bullies, they have nothing better to do. I love following your story and learn a lot. Prayers for better health.
People are just mean!! You're doing great Momma. Everyone's journey is different, unique and important!!! I love catching up with you and your family. I hope and pray your health issues get better and more manageable for you!!!
What you do and have accomplished is amazing! Give yourself credit for all that you do on a daily basis. You are an inspiration to us all. Thank you for sharing your struggles and challenges. We know how to pray for you all and when we encounter similar issues, you are a great example, with your sweet smile and uncomplaining attitude. MayGod bless you all richly. ❤🙏🏻Val C
Ignore the negative. You are our inspiration you guys do it all home-schooling preserving building. I just can only wish to have part of your enthusiasm and drive chin up lovely 😊
Nyssa we are our own harshest critics! Your artwork is incredible, never doubt that. Ignore the keyboard warriors, they’re cowards hiding behind a keyboard and couldn’t do what you do. Your meals and recipes are wonderful and I wish I had the energy to do what you do. Keep being you!
I so hear you, we have an ongoing kitchen remodel that has been in the works for nearly 20 years or so now, and all that has happened is that I accumulated the materials (countertops, lumber, and cabinet doors that came out of my dear departed husband's parents' home, made by his oldest brother, who was a talented woodworker and cabinet maker - and lots of other materials.) It all leans about in the room that I want to move my tiny kitchen into. So far the only other thing that happened is we moved the fridge, table, and microwave into the kitchen-to-be, which used to be the old original living room. Then Hubs got cancer and passed away.... lost a lot of momentum there. Then our daughter got MS and is living in the former NEW living room, (can't climb upstairs to her old bedroom!) which it took us years to create from our old bedroom, after building on a new back bedroom for just me, now, sadly. The former new living room is now basically a bedroom again, with the new porch and new front door off of it. I have no living room! And there are always things that need done before OTHER things can get done, it's endless. Plus, now we don't know what to call the two rooms - it was "old kitchen" and "new kitchen" - now it's back to just "kitchen" - where the sink and stove are, still - and "the fridge room", haha! As they say, life is what happens while you're making other plans! (((hugs))) ♥
Please don't stop being who you are. Your a beautiful lady with so much on your shoulders. I wish you could get away for a few days and relax. Take care of yourself.
Hey Nyssa, I’m halfway through watching this video, but I needed to pause and comment. A massive THANK YOU for sharing and being so raw and honest about your life and your struggles. We need more people like you showing what real life actually looks like. You do so much in your life. You are living off-grid, which is a full-time job in itself, whilst being a mother, school teacher, carer, homemaker, gardener, farmer, vet, chef, breadwinner and the ‘family rock’. You make RUclips videos, deal with nasty comments, and still commit to making regular content for those that love you and love watching what you make and do. I also live by the mantra of ‘progress, not perfection’. You are kicking goals, even if you think you may not be, sometimes. All my love from a fellow chronic illness sufferer xxxx
I don’t normally comment but you are beautiful. You are doing a great job. Don’t ever apologise for who you are and how you live. You are smashing it. Can’t wait to see the art work.
You are my favorite channel and I thoroughly enjoy watching your videos. I love that you are so real and I admire your family so much! You're doing amazing!!
You are pretty amazing, Nyssa. You do the best you can every day for your family, all while dealing with significant health issues of your own and your husband too. I've watched many of your videos where you prepare huge quantities of food for your large family from scratch, all of which has to fit within your budget and last the long time until your next shop. I take my hat off to you, and hope that you can give yourself grace - what you do is not easy!
Don’t worry about what others think! I agree with another’s comment..before someone comments negatively let them walk in your shoes! You are awesome! ❤
Nyssa, you're doing a fabulous job. You do not need to explain to anybody. Living resourcefully as you do takes a lot of time and effort. Keep your chin up. Your family are very lucky. ❤
The Internet is a wonderous thing EXCEPT if you are going to be part of it you need to have a really thick skin and be able to let negativity wash straight over you. Just know that it is almost guaranteed that every negative responder is probably living in a one room apartment and wouldn't know the difference between a pot plant and vegetable garden. Stay strong Nyssa just brush them off and keep on being you.
Seriously people have nothing better to do than criticise…. I totally envy you… I would love to do what you do… I have to say I have stretched my grocery shopping from weekly to monthly thanks to you… but I really want to stretch it further… to the negative people… life is way to short for negativity… Nessa you are brilliant keep up the great work…. Oh and I know pain like you… Psoriatic Arthritis for me and it can be totally debilitating some days…
I'm so glad people are finding the same thing as I did with extending the grocery times, I never would have thought it would save money the way it does, but it really does! :D Thank you :D
Hun I'm so sorry you dealt with pain. And you have both been through so much. I have chronic pain too it's hard to be hit and miss with life. But the videos you do are wonderful and so are you. Anyone who thinks you need to do more just look at the thumbnails you work really hard and thats just a fraction of your life.
People who always say something negative don't walk in your shoes. They don't pay your bills. Don't ever worry about those people say as long as you and family are doing fine you have a good life.
You have an excellent way of explaining things and sharing your thoughts. I love the talking head catch ups, and you are honestly phenomenal in your ability to juggle a very busy life!
I look forward to your videos whenever they are released. You and your family are doing a great job. I know church isn’t your thing. However, I pray for you. ❤ I think you’re talented and quite strong and brave.
Nyssa you do an amazing job. I'm so sorry you're in pain all the time, I know what that's like. Don't listen to those people who comment thinking their way is superior to yours. One foot in front of the other is progress, one bite at a time instead of looking at all the things to be done. You and your family are awesome, thank you for sharing your life with us.
There's so much I want to say to you - first and foremost the people who criticize are (a) jealous (b) miserable and (c) are living in their parent's basement and have never struggled or built something from nothing. You should be proud, Nyssa. You and your family are inspiring. What I've learned in my 52 years is you'll never be "done" with anything - and who'd want to??? Learning, creating, and changing is the spice of life. I'd love to be able to do what you do. I wasn't joking when I said you need to offer the "outback experience" aka make people pay to do your work and eat your delicious food! LOL. God bless you and yours. Don't change who you are, we love you for who you are - authentic and genuine. ❤
What you do is amazing. It's hard work with a large family and life's/health issues kreeping in. Just look after yourself and your health. Thank you for what you share!
Hello from LA (lower Alabama) my wife and I love your videos and mostly your squirrels! They need to make a programs to shock the negative people every time they respond! You do more than most can and it’s amazing to watch you work in the kitchen! 64yo and I could never see us cooking on a 2 burner or using a grill as a oven! We look forward to every visit from you and you have really made follower out of us! Thanks and keep them coming!
You’re a kind hearted person. You have a right to your privacy and no one watching your videos need a play by play as to how, when or why you do what you do. You do what works for your family and theirs is the only opinion that matters. I love your channel because of your unique content and because I quite enjoy seeing how people homestead/garden in different countries. I always learn something new and/or interesting. I would be extremely stressed if I worried about the comments of strangers. Especially of those who aren’t contributing to my wellbeing. I hope you feel better soon. Take care of yourself and please try to keep your external stressors to a minimum. Good bless. 🌸🌿🦋
Yes, I want to watch it. I love seeing how you make it work amid everything else you deal with. It is encouraging to me. Thank you for your candidness. Love from Utah
Hey Nyssa! I know it’s hard to deal with your illness and be a Mom and a wife along with everything you do day to day things. I can really see so much success on your property. Both of you are amazing parents and now days few parents could do all that you both do have done and sacrificed to reach as far as you both have. Give yourself a pat every now and then. Take your time and do things as you can, your health is way more important. I love your fan club 🐧🐧🐧🐧🐧🖐️hello guys! TFS!!!❤
We live in a world now of instant gratification. If you haven’t got it, don’t wait just go buy it. Homesteading isn’t like that-at all! Homesteading is a slower life, using what you have, addressing the needs as they needed. This is how you address your life. Anyone who doesn’t understand this shouldn’t watch your channel, much less comment upon it. Ill health certainly impacts your ability for massive progress but be proud of what you have achieved as an individual and as a couple and as a family! I’ve gained so much inspiration from you. I can’t homestead as much as I’d like but I’m doing ‘enough’ . Enough to complete my life. Enough to slow my life so I enjoy the small wins and nature’s joys. I have MS and some other bits and bobs so I struggle daily. Nyssa you’re amazing. Don’t let anything caste that shade over you!!
I have nothing but respect for you Nyssa. Im in awe of all you do. I didn’t know you were a thermie consultant. I have a TM6, but, will definitely contact you when I want to buy another one. I also just signed up for youre newsletter
Fabulous video! Just you telling it like it is.... perfect! I think you both are inspirational! All you do with cooking, building, gardening etc as well as 6 children and ill health! I had my 5 year old grandson for a week and was struggling to do what i wanted to do. Some days i gave up, you dont! I love seeing your progress! We are very much like you guys, 3 steps forward, 2 backwards usually! Things going wrong or breaking at inconvenient times, and then trying to get someone to come out to fix it! I love watching you because I get you! The negative comments we receive because of our life choices just makes me more determined! Its a bit of a stuff you attitude! Stuff the negative comments ... they're petty minded people! Take care of yourself, so many watching you are gunning for you!
I have been out of town. I would check RUclips every now and then just to see what has been posted but couldn't watch anything! I couldn't wait to get home so I could watch this! You are way too hard on yourself! You are amazing! PLEASE don't let negative people affect you! There are so many crazy, negative people who verbally attack others because they need to feel better about themselves! You know you are doing everything that is best for you and your family!!! The things you described that are going on in your family right now is absolutely NORMAL!!! I could relate to everything you said and anybody that says they haven't dealt with these same issues are either lying or in total denial! Be your beautiful, smart, amazing self!!!
Nyssa, I love the animals interrupting, so funny, and please don’t let anyone get you down with their negative comments, I have health issues also and you make me feel so tired seeing how much you accomplish. Keep your chin up and please 🙏 keep the squirreling going. God bless you, Snookums 😊
Oh my heart just wants to hug you! I love your videos and your resourceful ways. I wish I had your talents and energy. I understand you have health issues but you do so much. Ignore the negative comments from people. Keep smiling!!
Hi Nyssa, of all the youtubers I watch, you are the most humble, honest, worts and all realistic content creator. People who post negative comments are just bored individuals who dream of having slices of your life and therefore look for anything to fault for Ahole reasons that non of your avid viewers care about! I live in the suburbs and dream of property life but until I can turn my dream into reality you have taught me how to bake, preserve, cook, turn pork belly into bacon. So so many things. Bleep the negatives You are as real as they come.
Nyssa girl love your squirreling it's what makes your videos real life 💓 So to all the negativity by people stop being so judgemental. This lady is AWESOME doing all that she does while battling chronic health issues is to be admired NOT judged. Nyssa your garden beds are fantastic 😍😍😍 Good to see you girl ❤❤ Love from the UK x
I’m so mad with myself right now that didn’t have my notifications on to see when you posted. I just finished watching your Q and A from over a year ago. I have just found your channel 2 days ago. You could say I’m kinda on a binge. 😁 Honestly, I’m loving just listening to ya while I do things or even while I’m putting my 1 year old to sleep while trying to keep my 3 older ones quiet. Haha. It’s more authentic with your rambles. I love to find more Aussie YT creators. I can relate more to you compared to the American YTbers that I watch. Take it is. Just enjoy it all. Thanks for another vid. From this South Aussie mum❤
Thank you for sharing so much of you and your family’s life with us. I am in awe of your courage and vulnerability. Life is so hard. We all go through it just trying to do it with grace. Sending healing prayers your way. I look forward to watching your videos and totally enjoy each “ squirrel 🐿️ “ 🌸
I think you're flipping amazing! I live with chronic pain and an autoimmune disease, so I know how tough it can be. You do so much, you're an inspiration.
I find lives with people coming in as they progress and asking already answered to be tedious. I come for the squirrels. I like the way you paint a picture of your life.
I was just in aw of what an inspiring beautiful lady you are Nyssa it takes a lot of courage to bear all to total strangers on RUclips thankyou for telling us what you and Darrell have been going through I'm looking forward to purchasing one of those beautiful family trees take care 🥰🌹
You make some very good points Nyssa, especially not comparing yourselves and achievements with others. There are far too many varying factors at play - size of family, health, terrain and climate you have to take into account - to justify any disparaging comments. ( to even comment negatively is the height of rudeness anyway!) Sending lots of love and healing ❤️❤️
I definitely understand about wanting to do things around the house and not being able to due to limited funds. If we had an extra surplus of cash everything would look great like we want it to. Life is definitely a struggle and we’re all just trying to get by and have the necessities that we need to just live sometimes. Take care. 😊
As someone who has a large family and tries my best to grow what food I can… it’s not easy. There is always soooo much to do. I don’t have any animals and I still struggle with time. It’s just hard, there’s always more that can be done and a lot of the time, only a small portion actually does get done. Please go easy on yourself. Your journey is so different to everyone else’s and you should only ever compare yourself to yourself.
Who doesn’t love a good squirrel , you do a fantastic job , all the cooking you do without all the modern equipment the average household have , home schooling 6 kids . You can hold your head up high and just keep doing what you do , it’s you and your family’s life .

I very much respect and admire you, Nyssa. A bush block would be so challenging for homesteading - so much work! And ... managing chronic health issues with six kids as well - I can't even begin to fathom how you manage. I'd like to say, I can listen to your "squirrels" easily. You mentioned you have trouble finding words, but you are so articulate; your speech flows very freely, and you're obviously highly intelligent and creative. With some other RUclipsrs, a half-hour voice-over puts me to sleep. You keep me hanging on your every word! Please don't let nay-sayers affect the content you create - they're everywhere right now, and they're obviously very disturbed and sad individuals who need to find another outlet to manage their issues.
I'm thick skinned which is lucky hehe, Darryl avoids the comments because he struggles, but mostly I can just shrug things off, but I do sit there and think, why, why would you make that kinda comment a lot hehe.
I think the Aussie bush definitely impacts a lot of things in the 'homesteading' sense, there's more and different challenges added on!
As a suffer of trig neuralgia and a wife of a husband who had a serious mental health breakdown I 💯 understand how life is! And you have 6 kids to look after and homeschool. You and everything you have achieved is amazing! I love that you keep things real and show that life isn't always sunshine and roses! Also talking about chronic illness and mental health is creating a voice for health issues that often people cannot see so therefore don't understand. ❤❤
Darryl always says he's happy for me to discuss it from my side because he doesn't think it is spoken enough about. But I struggle because I don't like to harp on it, or blame things on it either hehe :D
This channel is a huge highlight in my life. Thank you. Hope you understand how happy you make so many people ❤
Nyssa, you and your husband have suffered the loss of a business. Both of you have had and still have health issues. You are great parents, you are a wonderful cook for your family. Take no notice of the negative comments. I think you are doing a fabulous job, especially on such a limited income. I know I couldn't do it. Watching your videos always gives me a lift. You always smile even when things are going wrong ❤
Honestly I’m always in awe of what you achieve. You achieve more than most people who don’t have your health challenges.
Thank you for being so honest and raw. Don’t worry about the haters. They need to look into their own back yards before pointing the finger.
I'm pretty thick skinned luckily hehe, but Darryl doesn't look at comments at all, he wouldn't cope hehe
Hello Nyssa please don't worry what others think. I think you are amazing with everything you do. It is a pleasure to watch you. We all have our problems you can only do what you can do. All us genuine subscribers will always be here for you. Take care. Love and hugs to you all.
Maree ❤️❤️❤️
I feel this for you . I have had 3 strokes this year , Crohn’s disease for years, Rheumatoid Arthritis, permanent brain damage from strokes , heart disease , high blood pressure, migraines and recovering from surgery to remove a tumor from my throat and base of my tongue . I live chronic pain all day every day!!!! Meds are horrible for sure !!!! I get it !!! You do what you need to do for you and your family!!!!! Please don’t concern yourself with ugly comments. You are an amazing woman !!!! I love watching your channel!!!!!! Never do why can’t I !!!!! Those others don’t live with your health ! I know they don’t !!! I deal with the same thoughts !!!! Please know I will be praying for you and thinking about you !!!! Right there with you clear in America!!!!!! ❤ God bless !
You are amazing Nyssa… you and Darryl have a lot on your plate, your viewers accept that and are very grateful for anytime you post a video.. we are interested xx💐😊
I’ve been in my house for 24 years. It needed massive repairs when I bought it. But the location and the land made it worth it to us. I’m still making adjustments and changes and upgrades to it. 24 years later. It takes money and time. It also takes knowledge. Sometimes baby steps are the only steps you’re able to make. Try not to let the ignorant people bother you. Keep moving forward. My dad used to say that the only way to eat an elephant is one bite at a time. It may take years, but it will get done. When my father in law lost his license to drive, we took his truck so he’d stop trying to drive. That was 9 years ago. He passed away 5 years ago and because he never got the title we have not been able to get rid of it. No one will buy it without the title. No one will scrap it without the title. We’ve tried to get a replacement title and an abandoned title. One thing or another has prevented that. So we have an old, ugly, beat up, non running truck in the driveway. It’s hideous. I hate looking at it. But what did I do? People don’t know your circumstances. It’s easy to say what someone else should do, how they should do it, etc. everyone is an expert on other people’s lives, but their own are what they need to concentrate on. Ignore the ignorance the best you can. I’m also bipolar. Life is sometimes a struggle. And anyone that doesn’t deal with mental health has no clue how hard life can be to navigate some days. The internet has created a vile society that for some reason feel they have the right to say whatever ridiculous crap pops into their empty heads. Everyone starts somewhere and we never know what’s going on inside other people’s homes. People usually only put the good on the internet. We need more people to be real. I love that you’re so normal and relatable. I appreciate that you are honest and not pretentious. So keep on moving forward. Don’t let life get you down. You have created a beautiful life. It may need to improve, but most of us live lives that need to be improved too. Are we going to be able to get things shipped to the USA? I really want a family tree for my mom for Christmas.
I am sorry people are mean and critical. I would say ignore them but I am sure that is difficult. I love your life. You are surrounded by family. You do amazing food products. You are debt free and not dealing with working 9-5 and being gone from home. You have made a life many of us envy. Thank you for sharing your health journey.
Hey Nyssa I have followed along with you for a long time and want to say thank you for keeping it real, not sugar coating the ups and downs and showing your reality of living off grid with a large family who doesn't have a huge disposable income. There is a saying that "Comparison is the thief of joy" and its so true. There are many people in our country doing it so tough, what you and Darryl have managed to achieve is absolutely amazing and I'm sure you have inspired and given hope to many by showing what youve done so far. Homesteading/Farming is often one step forward and 2 steps back especially when growing your own food and raising animals, we are at the mercy of Mother Nature and thats out of our control. Keep moving forward, keep sharing content and block out that negative white noise 😊🌻🌞
I hope the stresses subside again for you Nyssa and your health improves again as it does.
Hi, I am someone who just ‘popped in’ to your videos to listen to your story. I feel so sad and at the same time super empowered and validated by your journey. As to people making negative comments , all I have to say is that they are not in your shoes.
I have fibromyalgia, Hashimotos and other health conditions myself. I live alone, with no children and live in a small space. Yet, I find it so very difficult to manage pain, work and maintain my space and live at a very basic level without including people or having any responsibilities for other humans in my life. So I cannot imagine how you prioritise every single task, per person/animals, maintain a property, manage your finances each day and maintain relationships - being a wife/partner, being a mother and trying to have your own creative outlets, building social media content that is not only for your joy and pleasure but also helps other people.
Keep doing what you love at a manageable level that is good for your health. Thank you for sharing your journey.
I would like to say, no one has any right in life to send negative comments or thoughts, you give your all to the videos, your family and life. Stay strong, we watch from all over the world. Tam xx UK
I love your squirreling! You're doing a great job. Don't let anyone tell you otherwise.
You’re doing it. Life is rarely orderly or graceful. When I see your videos, I see a brave family living in a completely different way than what I’m used to. I have nothing but respect for you all.
People always have crap to say but I guarantee their lives aren’t any better. You’re super woman for all the different things you need to do to help keep your household going.
Lovely to see you back on RUclips miss your videos don’t mind what the begrudgers have to say you have 6 beautiful children and a happy safe home, hoping your health issues can return to a manageable level and wishing you all the best with your shop launch… personally your my favourite channel to watch and I just really enjoy when you post videos so keep just being yourself and look after yourself and do what’s right for you and your family xxx
For folks who desire perfection, they must have a massive disposable income, and never built a Homestead from scratch. For those of us who live on a tight budget and we have what we need, but budgeting is a necessity for survival. As a mom we frequently put our needs, including our health, last. But it eventually will require our attention. You have done an incredible job 👏 doing all that you have. I absolutely love your video's, especially your chatting with us.😊
Wow. It sucks you felt the need to explain yourself. Living off grid takes a special person and family. I couldn’t imagine not doing things on my time. When I feel motivated to take on a project I take it on. It’s obvious y’all work extremely hard. The fact that you’re keeping yourself, kids, animals and a garden alive off grid is amazing. I can’t even fathom having that many projects going on at once. Making dinner everyday for my family of 3 feels overwhelming.
I too have bouts of high blood pressure so I hope you get yours under control. I can’t believe you’re able to have so many things health wise going on and you keep chugging along.
Hello from Northern California. I nearly cried listening to your side effects from the medications. I still take the same ones. I have had all the same symptoms as well. Weight gain as well. The loss for words and just over all brain fog is so disheartening. I just want to validate your point and that I see you and I hear you. You’re not alone. 🙏🏽
Its horrid having to take them to deal with the issues but then feel like the side effects are almost worse than the condition you are treating :S
@@OurSmallFootprint i completely understand. I have tried so many different things. N yet always come back to the same stuff. It’s like do you want some pain relief? However at the cost of your memory. Let alone how completely it can wipe you out. I did a spirulina and sea moss cleanse to remove toxins and heavy metals from my body. Especially after years of these drugs. Felt better but still need them.
You are doing your best and that is all all that is expected of any one. 😊😊
I can only join in with what everyone else has already said. You do you , don’t listen to the negative ppl. Listen to those who support you. Life sucks and IS hard, but you keep going. And you do it great. Because you and your family is great. ❤
Nyissa when I heard you going into details about your health issues I immediately thought why. Answer is trolls…I.e negative people. Everyone has unique circumstances. You are amazing truly. You feed your children a very natural balanced, homemade diet. You go over and beyond. Your stamina and energy is to be applauded. Please remember they do not experience your circumstances you do. I just wish I could do half as much. Of course if we could we would, no ones place is perfect, unless there’s a team of gardeners, cleaners, cooks and others. You are a true Australian, doing the best you can under adverse conditions. Ignore them, don’t let them in your head, block them, they have no empathy. We love you for who you are. I love seeing slices of your life. But remember it’s your life not theirs. I bet they don’t achieve even a quarter of what you do. Keep on doing you girl, 🇦🇺🎸⚡️🤘🏾🤘🏼💋💙💙
Exactly, well said 👏🏻
@@TheCurlyclub thank you
If people want to complain then that's on them. They haven't watched your videos and see all the hard work you all do. Life isn't easy and especially off grid with a large family. I'd like to see the people who are negative go out there and do it! Love the videos. Take your time❤🎉
People attack because honestly they are jealous they want to hurt because they hurt . Honestly you guys are amazing. Love you and have learned alot from your videos. People who attack dont understand life on a bush block they have no idea. Work never ends and its a life time on going of chores. You are amazing.
You work hard and accomplish so much every day. You should be proud of yourself and your family.
Hello lovely girl, I know it is difficult to ignore some of the comments that are posted, sticks and stones, these people really are not people that I am sure you would not want to be friends with, Just know that if I lived near you I would be proud to call you a friend............I am nearly 75, trust me life will get easier as the years roll along. Take care lovely and try and rest a little to relax your mind. I love hearing your geese!!!
Hi Nyssa….can I just say, you and Darryl are doing a fantastic job, you have both lived with major health issues and to achieve what you have is brilliant….your property and children are a credit to you both….i also live with chronic pain and it isn’t easy.
As far as the negative people and comments, ignore them, I enjoy your videos and listening to , what you say , your squirrel rambling ! You are a credit as parents and homesteaders!
Keep up what you are doing! ❤️
Oh Nyssa, thank you for sharing your life with us and we all go though tough times but many of us don’t share so it was very brave of you to share with us. We are just happy to watch whatever you are able to put out. When mum is not well it is very hard to hold everything together but you are amazing in what you can do. It has been a snap shot of your life and now understand how hard some days can be and with the stress of life, family and low income. Once again thank you and our thoughts and prayers go out to you and your family. One day at a time 💖
Hi Nyssa. I did comment yesterday but somehow it didn't post.. I just love your channel, don't worry about the small minded people whom are negative.. your home is the way its ment to be a wonderful home with great parents. You are real you show your home the way you live and that's the best thing. You don't sugar coat.. I have been hospitalised twice from a nervous breakdown also live with an ABI & sometimes its a big struggle... one day at a time. Everything will fall into place , you are a fantastic home maker, cook and human.. we love your 🦫🦫, wouldn't be a vlog without it... I hope the little critters stay out of your garden as that looks great... I look forward to the shop opening and what wonderful items you create... There is always squabbling in a large family especially when children mature, a part of life.. Have a great week look forward to your next vlog...
Hi, thank you Nyssa. You are an amazing human. Love and light ❤️🤗. Never compare yourself to anyone 🤗
Nyssa, you are amazing in what you do and how much you do. You are very intelligent in my mind and your cooking skills are amazing. Personally I look up to you. Look after yourself ❤
I’ve been watching for a while now and your homestead has progressed so much since I started watching. There will always be keyboard bullies, they have nothing better to do. I love following your story and learn a lot. Prayers for better health.
Day by day…..step by step……ultimately one can only be glad when those steps are heading in the right direction ….😊
Yes, so long as we are moving forward!
thank you for today's squirrel post...excellent as usual!
People are just mean!! You're doing great Momma. Everyone's journey is different, unique and important!!! I love catching up with you and your family. I hope and pray your health issues get better and more manageable for you!!!
What you do and have accomplished is amazing! Give yourself credit for all that you do on a daily basis.
You are an inspiration to us all. Thank you for sharing your struggles and challenges. We know how to pray for you all and when we encounter similar issues, you are a great example, with your sweet smile and uncomplaining attitude. MayGod bless you all richly. ❤🙏🏻Val C
Ignore the negative. You are our inspiration you guys do it all home-schooling preserving building. I just can only wish to have part of your enthusiasm and drive chin up lovely 😊
Thank you for being so honest, you are a marvel.
Nyssa we are our own harshest critics! Your artwork is incredible, never doubt that. Ignore the keyboard warriors, they’re cowards hiding behind a keyboard and couldn’t do what you do. Your meals and recipes are wonderful and I wish I had the energy to do what you do. Keep being you!
Definitely our own worst critics lol
I so hear you, we have an ongoing kitchen remodel that has been in the works for nearly 20 years or so now, and all that has happened is that I accumulated the materials (countertops, lumber, and cabinet doors that came out of my dear departed husband's parents' home, made by his oldest brother, who was a talented woodworker and cabinet maker - and lots of other materials.) It all leans about in the room that I want to move my tiny kitchen into.
So far the only other thing that happened is we moved the fridge, table, and microwave into the kitchen-to-be, which used to be the old original living room. Then Hubs got cancer and passed away.... lost a lot of momentum there. Then our daughter got MS and is living in the former NEW living room, (can't climb upstairs to her old bedroom!) which it took us years to create from our old bedroom, after building on a new back bedroom for just me, now, sadly. The former new living room is now basically a bedroom again, with the new porch and new front door off of it. I have no living room!
And there are always things that need done before OTHER things can get done, it's endless. Plus, now we don't know what to call the two rooms - it was "old kitchen" and "new kitchen" - now it's back to just "kitchen" - where the sink and stove are, still - and "the fridge room", haha!
As they say, life is what happens while you're making other plans! (((hugs))) ♥
Please don't stop being who you are. Your a beautiful lady with so much on your shoulders. I wish you could get away for a few days and relax. Take care of yourself.
Just words of support and appreciation.
Hey Nyssa, I’m halfway through watching this video, but I needed to pause and comment. A massive THANK YOU for sharing and being so raw and honest about your life and your struggles. We need more people like you showing what real life actually looks like. You do so much in your life. You are living off-grid, which is a full-time job in itself, whilst being a mother, school teacher, carer, homemaker, gardener, farmer, vet, chef, breadwinner and the ‘family rock’. You make RUclips videos, deal with nasty comments, and still commit to making regular content for those that love you and love watching what you make and do. I also live by the mantra of ‘progress, not perfection’. You are kicking goals, even if you think you may not be, sometimes. All my love from a fellow chronic illness sufferer xxxx
Thank you Dee!
Hello from Canada! I have so much respect for you, you are a joy to watch! You are a strong, intelligent and beautiful soul! Love your channel ❤
I don’t normally comment but you are beautiful. You are doing a great job. Don’t ever apologise for who you are and how you live. You are smashing it. Can’t wait to see the art work.
I think you and your family are wonderful.
You are my favorite channel and I thoroughly enjoy watching your videos. I love that you are so real and I admire your family so much! You're doing amazing!!
You are pretty amazing, Nyssa. You do the best you can every day for your family, all while dealing with significant health issues of your own and your husband too. I've watched many of your videos where you prepare huge quantities of food for your large family from scratch, all of which has to fit within your budget and last the long time until your next shop. I take my hat off to you, and hope that you can give yourself grace - what you do is not easy!
Don’t worry about what others think! I agree with another’s comment..before someone comments negatively let them walk in your shoes! You are awesome! ❤
Nyssa, you're doing a fabulous job. You do not need to explain to anybody. Living resourcefully as you do takes a lot of time and effort. Keep your chin up. Your family are very lucky. ❤
The Internet is a wonderous thing EXCEPT if you are going to be part of it you need to have a really thick skin and be able to let negativity wash straight over you. Just know that it is almost guaranteed that every negative responder is probably living in a one room apartment and wouldn't know the difference between a pot plant and vegetable garden. Stay strong Nyssa just brush them off and keep on being you.
Honestly, your property is the place my husband and i would love to take a ‘working vacation’ - camp out but do work that is needed.
Seriously people have nothing better to do than criticise…. I totally envy you… I would love to do what you do… I have to say I have stretched my grocery shopping from weekly to monthly thanks to you… but I really want to stretch it further… to the negative people… life is way to short for negativity… Nessa you are brilliant keep up the great work….
Oh and I know pain like you… Psoriatic Arthritis for me and it can be totally debilitating some days…
I'm so glad people are finding the same thing as I did with extending the grocery times, I never would have thought it would save money the way it does, but it really does! :D
Thank you :D
Hun I'm so sorry you dealt with pain. And you have both been through so much. I have chronic pain too it's hard to be hit and miss with life. But the videos you do are wonderful and so are you. Anyone who thinks you need to do more just look at the thumbnails you work really hard and thats just a fraction of your life.
People who always say something negative don't walk in your shoes. They don't pay your bills. Don't ever worry about those people say as long as you and family are doing fine you have a good life.
You have an excellent way of explaining things and sharing your thoughts. I love the talking head catch ups, and you are honestly phenomenal in your ability to juggle a very busy life!
I look forward to your videos whenever they are released. You and your family are doing a great job. I know church isn’t your thing. However, I pray for you. ❤ I think you’re talented and quite strong and brave.
Nyssa you do an amazing job. I'm so sorry you're in pain all the time, I know what that's like. Don't listen to those people who comment thinking their way is superior to yours. One foot in front of the other is progress, one bite at a time instead of looking at all the things to be done. You and your family are awesome, thank you for sharing your life with us.
There's so much I want to say to you - first and foremost the people who criticize are (a) jealous (b) miserable and (c) are living in their parent's basement and have never struggled or built something from nothing. You should be proud, Nyssa. You and your family are inspiring. What I've learned in my 52 years is you'll never be "done" with anything - and who'd want to??? Learning, creating, and changing is the spice of life. I'd love to be able to do what you do. I wasn't joking when I said you need to offer the "outback experience" aka make people pay to do your work and eat your delicious food! LOL. God bless you and yours. Don't change who you are, we love you for who you are - authentic and genuine. ❤
Well said 👍🏻
What you do is amazing. It's hard work with a large family and life's/health issues kreeping in. Just look after yourself and your health. Thank you for what you share!
A very touching video Nyssa. 🥰 You did an amazing job of this. Thank you for sharing the real stuff even though its really hard. ❤❤❤❤❤❤
Hello from LA (lower Alabama) my wife and I love your videos and mostly your squirrels! They need to make a programs to shock the negative people every time they respond! You do more than most can and it’s amazing to watch you work in the kitchen! 64yo and I could never see us cooking on a 2 burner or using a grill as a oven! We look forward to every visit from you and you have really made follower out of us! Thanks and keep them coming!
You’re a kind hearted person. You have a right to your privacy and no one watching your videos need a play by play as to how, when or why you do what you do. You do what works for your family and theirs is the only opinion that matters. I love your channel because of your unique content and because I quite enjoy seeing how people homestead/garden in different countries. I always learn something new and/or interesting.
I would be extremely stressed if I worried about the comments of strangers. Especially of those who aren’t contributing to my wellbeing. I hope you feel better soon. Take care of yourself and please try to keep your external stressors to a minimum. Good bless. 🌸🌿🦋
Just looked at your website. Can see i am going to be spending hours looking at everything on it, wonderful!!!
Those hinged garden beds look amazing!
Thankyou for being so raw. I think you are amazing with all that you do 🦋
You are so valued and appreciated xx
Yes, I want to watch it. I love seeing how you make it work amid everything else you deal with. It is encouraging to me. Thank you for your candidness. Love from Utah
Hey Nyssa! I know it’s hard to deal with your illness and be a Mom and a wife along with everything you do day to day things. I can really see so much success on your property. Both of you are amazing parents and now days few parents could do all that you both do have done and sacrificed to reach as far as you both have. Give yourself a pat every now and then. Take your time and do things as you can, your health is way more important. I love your fan club 🐧🐧🐧🐧🐧🖐️hello guys! TFS!!!❤
We live in a world now of instant gratification. If you haven’t got it, don’t wait just go buy it. Homesteading isn’t like that-at all! Homesteading is a slower life, using what you have, addressing the needs as they needed. This is how you address your life. Anyone who doesn’t understand this shouldn’t watch your channel, much less comment upon it. Ill health certainly impacts your ability for massive progress but be proud of what you have achieved as an individual and as a couple and as a family! I’ve gained so much inspiration from you. I can’t homestead as much as I’d like but I’m doing ‘enough’ . Enough to complete my life. Enough to slow my life so I enjoy the small wins and nature’s joys. I have MS and some other bits and bobs so I struggle daily. Nyssa you’re amazing. Don’t let anything caste that shade over you!!
I have nothing but respect for you Nyssa. Im in awe of all you do. I didn’t know you were a thermie consultant. I have a TM6, but, will definitely contact you when I want to buy another one. I also just signed up for youre newsletter
Fabulous video! Just you telling it like it is.... perfect! I think you both are inspirational! All you do with cooking, building, gardening etc as well as 6 children and ill health! I had my 5 year old grandson for a week and was struggling to do what i wanted to do. Some days i gave up, you dont! I love seeing your progress! We are very much like you guys, 3 steps forward, 2 backwards usually! Things going wrong or breaking at inconvenient times, and then trying to get someone to come out to fix it! I love watching you because I get you! The negative comments we receive because of our life choices just makes me more determined! Its a bit of a stuff you attitude! Stuff the negative comments ... they're petty minded people! Take care of yourself, so many watching you are gunning for you!
Just do what you can and ignore the negative people. I love that you squirrel. Praying for your health issues.
Thank you :)
I have been out of town. I would check RUclips every now and then just to see what has been posted but couldn't watch anything! I couldn't wait to get home so I could watch this! You are way too hard on yourself! You are amazing! PLEASE don't let negative people affect you! There are so many crazy, negative people who verbally attack others because they need to feel better about themselves! You know you are doing everything that is best for you and your family!!! The things you described that are going on in your family right now is absolutely NORMAL!!! I could relate to everything you said and anybody that says they haven't dealt with these same issues are either lying or in total denial! Be your beautiful, smart, amazing self!!!
You are an amazing person!!
Nyssa, I love the animals interrupting, so funny, and please don’t let anyone get you down with their negative comments, I have health issues also and you make me feel so tired seeing how much you accomplish. Keep your chin up and please 🙏 keep the squirreling going. God bless you, Snookums 😊
So sorry to hear you’re having troubles. Please take care of yourself.
Oh my heart just wants to hug you! I love your videos and your resourceful ways. I wish I had your talents and energy. I understand you have health issues but you do so much. Ignore the negative comments from people. Keep smiling!!
Always enjoy your videos. You are an inspiration to all of us. Thank you.
Hi Nyssa, of all the youtubers I watch, you are the most humble, honest, worts and all realistic content creator. People who post negative comments are just bored individuals who dream of having slices of your life and therefore look for anything to fault for Ahole reasons that non of your avid viewers care about! I live in the suburbs and dream of property life but until I can turn my dream into reality you have taught me how to bake, preserve, cook, turn pork belly into bacon. So so many things. Bleep the negatives You are as real as they come.
Nyssa girl love your squirreling it's what makes your videos real life 💓 So to all the negativity by people stop being so judgemental. This lady is AWESOME doing all that she does while battling chronic health issues is to be admired NOT judged. Nyssa your garden beds are fantastic 😍😍😍 Good to see you girl ❤❤ Love from the UK x
I’m so mad with myself right now that didn’t have my notifications on to see when you posted. I just finished watching your Q and A from over a year ago. I have just found your channel 2 days ago. You could say I’m kinda on a binge. 😁
Honestly, I’m loving just listening to ya while I do things or even while I’m putting my 1 year old to sleep while trying to keep my 3 older ones quiet. Haha.
It’s more authentic with your rambles. I love to find more Aussie YT creators. I can relate more to you compared to the American YTbers that I watch. Take it is. Just enjoy it all.
Thanks for another vid. From this South Aussie mum❤
I'm glad this channel helps you out a bit, you're a very resourceful woman ♀️😊
Thank you for sharing so much of you and your family’s life with us. I am in awe of your courage and vulnerability. Life is so hard. We all go through it just trying to do it with grace. Sending healing prayers your way. I look forward to watching your videos and totally enjoy each “ squirrel 🐿️ “ 🌸
Thank you :)
I think you're flipping amazing! I live with chronic pain and an autoimmune disease, so I know how tough it can be. You do so much, you're an inspiration.
I find lives with people coming in as they progress and asking already answered to be tedious. I come for the squirrels. I like the way you paint a picture of your life.
I admire all of your hard work!
I was just in aw of what an inspiring beautiful lady you are Nyssa it takes a lot of courage to bear all to total strangers on RUclips thankyou for telling us what you and Darrell have been going through I'm looking forward to purchasing one of those beautiful family trees take care 🥰🌹
You make some very good points Nyssa, especially not comparing yourselves and achievements with others. There are far too many varying factors at play - size of family, health, terrain and climate you have to take into account - to justify any disparaging comments. ( to even comment negatively is the height of rudeness anyway!)
Sending lots of love and healing ❤️❤️
WOW! The hinged covered garden bed is PERFECT! Great job. Thank you for sharing.
Thank you for explaining your situation it now makes sense. Boy you do amazingly well all things considered
You're doing an amazing job and making things work the best way you can. People with negative comments can either help you or shut up!
I definitely understand about wanting to do things around the house and not being able to due to limited funds. If we had an extra surplus of cash everything would look great like we want it to. Life is definitely a struggle and we’re all just trying to get by and have the necessities that we need to just live sometimes. Take care. 😊
As someone who has a large family and tries my best to grow what food I can… it’s not easy. There is always soooo much to do. I don’t have any animals and I still struggle with time. It’s just hard, there’s always more that can be done and a lot of the time, only a small portion actually does get done. Please go easy on yourself. Your journey is so different to everyone else’s and you should only ever compare yourself to yourself.
Who doesn’t love a good squirrel , you do a fantastic job , all the cooking you do without all the modern equipment the average household have , home schooling 6 kids . You can hold your head up high and just keep doing what you do , it’s you and your family’s life .
