As always I never stopped watching all of your journeys and seeing how fast your cute little boys are growing up bless you all and keep up the good work from Orlando Florida ❤
It's astonishing to see how much you've achieved. There must be many difficult moments, maybe even times when you feel it's all too much, but your tenacity and togetherness always pulls you through. You can be so proud of yourselves - you're creating an inspiring and nurturing life for your beautiful family!
Thank you James, we have achieved so much and are so thankful for each phase and season. Your support means so much to us, thank you for watching 🌸☀️👨👩👦👦🙏🏼🏡❤️🇵🇹
Watching your videos twice a week is not only pure joy, as you are so energetic,both of you, but also because of your positivity which turns each obstacle to a possibility to learn a new skill. Tara,you helped me a lot, deciding to make the table and later on the balustrade. You showed me that if we never did something, we will never know if we are able to do it or not. In fact, trying is the only positive attitude. So, at 61, i decided to paint our bathroom,as i’ve been always disappointed by the colours it had. I decided that i should stop my attitude to be afraid of a result being not the one i would ask for. I decided to be proud of myself,just by the fact of doing something i thought unable to do well. The result is not 100% perfect,but i am happy to have pushed away my inhibition. Looking for the perfection stops us trying. Not trying leads of for sure to the frustration…Thank you Tara, for being a new “motor”in my life!!!
I joined your story just a few days ago and must say - what a fantastic family you are!😊. The way you raise your kids should be an example for all of us: the participation in your life, the wise freedom, the exposure to the nature will make your sons intelligent, good, caring men. And your efficient optimism resulting in transforming an abandoned farm into healthy, friendly family estate! I am a handy man too so watching you guys gives me a true pleasure and relax for daily politicsed life. All the best - and where is a braai???
Amazing friend. Yay! We are so excited to have you join us on our adventure. We always love hearing from you and are so appreciative of all your support. We have a braai by the outside couch just outside of the "not garage". We do however eat a predominantly plant based diet though. We post a video every Wednesday and Sunday. Thanks so much for watching 🌸☀️👨👩👦👦🙏🏼🏡❤️🇵🇹
Hello from USA. Found your channel and couldn't stop watching it. What a beautiful life n family, hardwork, teamwork, enjoyed the transformation from your journey! Well done!!
Less than a week until September arrives! You have accomplished so much over the last six months. I am so impressed and admire you both so very much. May the next six months be equally successful. I am sure you will approach next Spring with your plans in place and a new determination to increase your knowledge, experiments, and bountiful harvests. I wish you some rest and refreshment in between the many winter projects I'm sure you have on your lengthy "to do" list.
Thank you so much Abigail, we are so excited for the next 6 months. Thank you for all your lovely wishes, we love having you as part of our journey and to be able to share all these seasons with you 🌸☀️👨👩👦👦🙏🏼🏡❤️🇵🇹
This Mother/grandmother absolutely adores watching your precious family ! Each Sunday morning I grab my coffee and rush to turn on the tv to catch up on your progress. Thank you so much and I pray God continues to bless you with gealth and happiness. Love Bec ❤
Absolutely agree! Our time spent with the Newby’s twice weekly has become part of our morning ritual. They bring such joy to our life! How blessed we are for sharing their journey.
You can be so proud of yourselves of what you have done this year and it has been an action packed year, I am not surprised John has had an injury and I hope John you nurse it well and enjoy your slowing down of the build, and just enjoying each day with the wake of the sun, smell of coffee and doing the things with Tara and the kids and before you know it it will all be healed. It is God's way of saying 'slow down my man, it will still be there tomorrow'. Have a lovely day Tara, John, Crusoe and Sawyer and all the farm animals. Tara you are an amazing story teller. See you again soon.
It is so heartwarming how far you have come❤. The first eggs, first water, garden and so much more ❤❤ Your tiny house, and your beautiful outdoor kitchen and living is coming along so well! I love watching your family ever week🥰
I like this beautiful family especially when Tara says to Croeso "What we got budy?" Croeso says "Yummy yummy" And John says "Woooooow" Have nice weekend guys
If I just said we love thenewbys family and how much they acomplished will cover how we feel? From the bottom of my heart thank you for allowing us to be with you in the whole process thank you and God bless you all.
I found your channel when you purchased the property…this journey has been amazing! The most recent videos have been absolutely delightful. You started changing them up after your difficult stretch and I think it has been brilliant. I am hoping the healing is coming along nicely. Thank you for allowing me to share your story
Thank you for this lovely comment Gemma, we have loved being able to share these moments and seasons with you. Thanks so much for watching 🌸☀️👨👩👦👦🙏🏼🏡❤️🇵🇹
Hi John, Tara, Crusoe and Sawyer….what a wonderful look back on spring and summer at the Newby farm….we’re all so proud of you and your achievements, so you guys must be bursting with pride. Thanks for allowing us to follow your lives and your gorgeous boys. Here’s to many more seasons. Best wishes and ❤ Julie 😊
Hi Julie, we can't actually believe how much we have been able to achieve in the past 6 months! Thank you for all your support throughout these moments and seasons. It means the world 🌸☀️👨👩👦👦🙏🏼🏡❤️🇵🇹
What a beautiful video of 6 months to a year of many changes! Not only the massive changes in the land & buildings, but of the 2 small boys! Crusoe going from a baby to a boy & Sawyer from a wee baby to a moving toddler! Learning to appreciate nature & the world around them. The shear joy in their faces as the explore all around them!🩵💙 A wonderful keepsake to pass on to the next generation 🥰 Thank you for taking us along on your adventures ❣️
What a nice idea to do a timelapse on the last half year! You have soooo much acomplished! And it helps John healing more and more! So lovely and absolutley not boring! Well done!
Hi Newbys you have achieved so much in a short space of time. Your 3 acre farm is slowly turning into your little piece of paradise. Can't wait to see what the next year brings.
Ta Ra, you are a born storyteller. I really hope you consider writing a children's storybook. You can base it on those adorable heartbreaker boys and the farm. I am sure you can even do your own illustrations. This was a lovely look back. I really hope that John's shoulder is all healed soon. Oh, yes, I for one love the Crusoe cam. He shows the world from a child 's eye, and it looks so big. I just love you all so much. The music here was awesome!❤
Caruso Cam will get steadier as he becomes a real filmmaker. Meanwhile, him saying wash your feet is the stuff that makes smiles. I'm glad I save this for my day off, its 44ºc it's hot and there is nothing to be done outside until the sun sets tonight. Peace and Happiness to you all and your families.
Such a lovely walk down memory lane. I have just watched the initial 15 minutes yet and will watch the rest in some time, but already enthralled with all the joy that bursts through the screen watching you all accomplish so much, bit by bit, together, supporting each other to the fullest. The family of the 4 of you and the generous help and camaraderie provided by those in your social circles. It's heartening to watch Tara and John not only bringing out all the beauty possible on the farm but also raising 2 absolutely wonderful kids in the process. Its a privilege to be able to watch this journey. Thank you so much for sharing and wish the rest of the year is delightful as well :)
Thank you so much friend, we have loved having you as part of our journey. Can't wait to see what the next 6 months have in store for us. Thanks so much for watching 🌸☀️👨👩👦👦🙏🏼🏡❤️🇵🇹
I’m forgetting…how old is Crusoe now? His speech is astounding for his age. Not only his vocabulary but his pronunciation. I can’t wait to see Sawyer talking.
When I see your sweet little boys every sunday, I remember my sons so many years ago in same age. Now they are nearly 29 years and 30 years old... they grew up so fast. Enjoy the time together as you do. Greetings from northern Germany near Hamburg.
You have done sooooooo much! No wonder John broke! Please just take a time out guys and don’t worry about us viewers! We will wait patiently for your journey to continue when all is well. Tara I loved the strut when you became chief, you did it superstar -mother,gardener,wife,builder,supporter,recorder,cook,homemaker, The boys are your reward! Bless you all
Hi Newby’s and Joao, Belated Happy Birthday to Joao. I watched this late Sunday night, this is the first time I’ve had to reply. The amount of stuff you’ve done is mind blowing. While you were making this retrospective look at your lives, there must’ve been so many things to remind you of your accomplishments. The boys are growing so fast, your parents must really miss them. Crusoe is a mini John and Sawyer looks like he can’t wait to take off after Crusoe. Watching Crusoe put his hands on his hips like John is hilarious. Even the chickens have matured! The joy on Tara’s face the first time they laid eggs was priceless. John works so hard, it must be maddening that he’s injured himself. He is so used to setting goals and achieving them. It has to be very frustrating. Tara’s John imitation made me laugh again. Your neighbors are all so kind and generous. Joao is a patient and kind young man. Seeing him with Crusoe is what we want to see in all young people. You’ve created a blessed life! ❤ and Hugs to all of you, Jacqueline in Colorado ❤
This was so nice to go back and see the transformation of your property, you have changed it so much and made it yours, well done. Hope the situation with John's injury is improving.Have a great week and see you Wednesday x
Absolutely loved seeing the look back, but my favorite is seeing how small Crusoe was and how he was just starting to put words together to the end where he was carrying on a conversation with you. Such a treasure to have these to look back on. You have such a beautiful home and family! Such a blessing to be able to raise your boys as you are! Much love ❤
Well done, Crusoe, for keeping something in frame while filming your mama most of the time 😃. You and your family are quite amazing. Hope you all grow happily on your farm in the clouds 🌻💞
Happy and Glorious Sunday Newby family what a journey from March to now almost the beginning of September. Crusoe in March just turned 2 years old, still not talking properly look at him now and Sawyer your little always smiling pumpkin will be 1 year old soon. Ups and downs we were sharing with you. You have come so far, it is amazing, all the work of renovating, planting harvesting, and even travelling. Rejoice the harvest is plentiful and brings us much JOY to see you all well. Cannot stop smiling when we saw you Tara overjoyed with your first 4 eggs, like a young girl seeing her first Christmas tree. Amazing. I think I told you already you have a wonderful narrator's voice and can narrate ebooks. Cheers thank-you for this memorable synopsis of the Newbys in Portugal. Obrigada🙏💖🌺🥰🏡🇵🇹🌎🌍🌏
Dear Newby family, Tara, John, Crusoe and Sawyer, is it no coincidence again on this FIRST DAY OF MARCH this video pop-ups on my page. I feel so blessed seeing your SPRING IS IN THE AIR when ours will be here in 2 months, although this video shows all your work done last year, we rejoice that ALL YOUR projects were successful. Now getting ready for MORE in 2024. Wishing you all a wonderful SPRING and BLOOMS all over your Homestead. One day Lord willing fully off grid, no coincidence for such a time like this. Good timing like John said. Cheers🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🌅🌄🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🌺🌺🌹🌺🌹🐓🐓🐓🐓👱👶🏡🌅🌅🌅🇵🇹
Can only say how amazing you both are, Tara and John. Crusoe is a tonic…. And his vocabulary is astonishing…. Just loved the naughty selfie filming at the end of his Crusoe cam. Can’t wait for Sawyer to start talking….the 2 of them …..can you imagine! Big admiration and love to you 4! ❤
You should be so proud of everything you've accomplished in a few months! Letting Crusoe chip in and help along the way. If it feels overwhelming at certain times, well that's because the two of you are raising two healthy sons, and also working on the land, so that you don't let it get ahead of you. Well Done Newbys-John I'm glad you're resting your shoulder!
Life does not have to contain only duty, compulsion and unpleasantness. You show in a simple and joyful way that you can work and achieve balance and harmony in life. Thanks for another great episode. Hugs to you! 💚💙💛❤
Such a nice reminder of all that you have accomplished on your homestead in a few short months! Kudos! Including us on your family's journey brings much en-JOY-ment! THANK YOU! ❤
What a delightful collection of vignettes of your achievements. And how quick the little ones have grown! Beautiful editing and assembling. Most inspiring!😊
I have watched you grow as a family for the best part of a year, I look forward to seeing you twice a week I go around my house singing your opening song . With the hardship you sometimes face and it must be tiering and sometimes hard your amazing with two beautiful children giving them the best quality of life . Never commentated befor so I thought I will tell your doing great .
What a wonderful look back over the last 6 months! Some moments, as we’ve been along the entire journey seem like yesterday!!! You both have worked so very hard and your farm has turned into such a beautiful home! ~Cara ❤❤❤
I love it when you make videos of the before and the progress you have made to the now, and all the sweet footage of the children and how they are growing. Keep being amazing!
What a great video, it's easy to forget what progress you have made in 6 months and how quickly the boys are growing up. I do love clips of Tara being John, really makes me smile. Hope John is feeling better. Great work Newbys ❤❤
Lovely video showing all your hard work in a short time and you have achieved so much while including the boys. Not surprised you have had a few blips. Beautiful family. Thank you
What a beaut video. We have travelled far with you. So much accomplished in a few short months. Gosh the boys are growig. Time goes so fast with them. Fingers crossed for John's neck and shoulder to heal quickly. Tara you are amazing at the things you tackle, as if motherhood isn't enough when they are little. Well done all of you. ❤
Such a lovely compilation of your year. Watching it develop & the children grow has been a delight. I love the effort you put into your videos. It really makes watching them a pleasure. The music especially is lovely not least your very happy intro music. Always puts a smile on my face & a skip in my step without fail. Don't ever doubt yourselves with RUclips . Someone somewhere will be enjoying them immensely. Xxx
I totally agree with Lynn Foster.. was thinking exactly the same thing.. Crusoe’s speech and vocabulary is AMAZING!!.. and his agility etc.. helping Mum and Dad all the time .. he is absolutely gorgeous, and what an incredible way to grow and learn on your Beautiful Farm. Tara and John.. I am totally addicted to your show.. can’t wait for next episode.. and when Crusoe and Sawyer can play together.. WELL DONE NEWBYS!!… Ina Zikesch.. AUSTRALIA.
Further to above… just had to mention.. Crusoe’s confidence and ability coming down those steep stairs!… I thought he would go head over heels!!.. also his love of fruit is astounding for a child of that age. Also wish your videos were numbered.. bit hard to get in the right order. I also follow LEAW…Sara & Luca, Mr. & Mrs. Adventure, Drew & Brittany, Raising Voyagers, Heather & Brady… BEAUTIFUL to think like minded people are such good friends. … Ina, AUZZIE
What an amazing journey. I take my hat off to you both. You both are incredibly strong and so determined. Watching your journey is an honor. The opportunity you are creating for the four of you is amazing
We’re still in the ‘vanlife’ phase. Living fulltime in our camper with our 2 children (of 10 and 2) but one day we’ll buy some land too! Love what you guys created for yourself ❤
I just wanted to say I've loved watching your journey creating your amazing home and loved watching your family grow. Good luck with everything. I'm looking forward to seeing your next video, Michelle
You will never know how watching your journey lifts my spirits It may sound crazy but feel like your my extended my family Like any great grandmother I am bursting with pride at all of your many achievements but also your attitude to life. Watching the arrival of the chickens reminded me of the time when a chicken hid in your van and traveled mikes before you realised you had a hitchhiker on board. Hope John is not overdoing it AGAIN I think if you had picked a different lifestyle he would have been a workaholic lol
Wow, that was so lovely to watch again, just a reminder of how much work you've done. No wonder you came to a burnout. And so glad you felt so supported by all of us "watchers" and took advice to have a break a reevaluate your lives. You have the best lives ever, two beautiful little boys, a gorgeous place to live and work in. You're not 9 to 5 job people. When you need a break, then take one. It doesn't need to be a mammoth trip. Just visit friends, a picnic on the lawn, or watch a sunset. It will restore your souls. X PS loved the little clip of Tara transforming into John. 😂
We feel very supported by you all Cherie. We love hearing from you and being able to share all these adventures and projects with you. Thanks so much for watching friend 🌸☀️👨👩👦👦🙏🏼🏡❤️🇵🇹
Tara you did a great job on this video.... (narration, music, videography). I enjoyed watching it. You and John must be so proud of all you have accomplished in the past 6 months! Thank you for sharing your property and your sweet little boys. ❤ from Canada 🇨🇦
I absolutely love this family. The kids are so happy and so much love even with all the hard work. You all are truly a joy. Thank you for sharing your farm life with us. My mother grew up on ab12,000 acre homestead that is still in my family. Brings back so many memories.
Wonderful Vedic Curuso. You are adorable. But the apples don’t fall too far from the tree. Amazing family. I enjoy watching your projects every time I can.
You have created a wonderful home and done amazing things on the land! The boys are beautiful and so cute. Crusoe’s talking is so good. Really enjoy following your story of such a loving family who work hard with great success. Such adorable, happy boys! ❤
Very enjoyable video! The progress in your homestead is impressive, the editing artful and Tara's narrative voice is always a delight. The wooden outdoor space is dreamy, the lawn and borders you're planting, the boulders, mosses, lichens and trees create a magical atmosphere... ❤
Good Sunday morning, John, Tara, Crusoe, & Sawyer❤😂😮😢😊 enjoyed the journey back, seeing all the wonderful, accomplishments and fun it was, and so much more to come. until next time, take care & God bless❤ Bjs 💋
Thank you for showing us the beautiful flowers! Thank you for introducing the chickens by name. Thanks for the recap! Ibwill watch this one over and over. The boys are so adorable!
The progress you've achieved since last March in outstanding and unfortunately John also started with his shoulder pain. Hope he will recover soon. The kids have grown up to be so lovely; the vegetable garden has given such an abundance of great produce. All the very best to your lovely familyTara and John❤❤❤
You have done an amazing amount of work in the past 6 months and credit goes to you all; especially Crusoe & Saywer for the taste testing of all the veggies, plums and apples etc. etc. ....
I remember the tiling in the tiny house😱I love watching your boys grow❤❤❤ You have accomplished soooo much in just over a year!!!🌈👏💚🥰 Can't wait to follow along on each new adventure and sharing in the love, thrills and unbounded joy of your life in Portugal🤗😍💛
What a gift this epic video is!! Must have taken forever to edit 😵💫 It’s been a wild ride so far this year, and there’s much to look forward to!! Hopefully you have time to smell the roses and fill your cup 👍🏻 Thank you for sharing it all with us 😘🥳🎈💕
We are so happy to hear you enjoyed it Sandra, it did take quite a while to edit but it was worth it. We love seeing how much has changed in 6 months. Thanks for all your support 🌸☀️👨👩👦👦🙏🏼🏡❤️🇵🇹
Thank you for the time-lapse. Wow, how much both kids have grown. And your harvest....my goodness. You can certainly freeze and preserve a ton of stuff to get you through the Winter. You also have marvelous neighbours who helped and guided you throughout the whole process. ❤🎉
Wonderfull keep going this is what life is and have a strong Faith on God Almighty , I am from Pakistan Living in USA , Learned so much from you guys specially your theme song i love it , regards Dr Sohail Ghani
Time has flown by Gail! Thanks so much for watching and for all your support over the past 6 months, we love that we get to share these moments and seasons with you 🌸☀️👨👩👦👦🙏🏼🏡❤️🇵🇹
Watching today I realise I'd missed some bits . Good to catch up on them. I'd been wondering about the complex of buildings and wondering how you could expand into them to make accommodation for the boys . I see another building really close to the main one that you could convert and then add a bit to link that wing to the first house . Probably that would double your accommodation ? Great . God bless Kay
I just found your first video and the tour of the buildings. Interesting. Its more complicated than i thought . The bungalow certainly would make a good house with a new roof ! Then the two smaller ones could be let out ? It will be interesting to see what you will do eventually. And ive got all the videos of your safari through Africa to watch . I love Africa, have visited twice, Egypt and Ghana. Love Kay
Parabéns pelo fantástico sucesso em todos os projectos que se propuseram realizar durante o ano que passou...A minha enorme admiração pelo gosto, alegria e serenidade que revelam nos vídeos que vejo com imenso prazer, sempre com um sorriso nos lábios!!!! Aprecio a ajuda e o interesse que o Crusoe mostra, esforçando-se, com a sua carinha laroca!!!! Entendo perfeitamente a ligação da Tara pela vida ao ar livre, à natureza tendo sido criada em África! Conheci uma parte da ex-Rodésia quando vivi em Moçambique e passava férias na Beira. Felicidades nos vossos projectos futuros, acompanho-vos sempre! 😊
Thank you so much for taking us back through to show us all the things you've done and been through from the very beginning. Great video and am looking forward to more of your journey. Keep on keeping on!
Time sure has flown guys, I loved the episodes in the van and now I am loving watching you build and garden with the boys by your side. You have inspired me, even if it is just to propagate some basil plants for my garden. Take care and I look forward to all the projects you have in mind. Cheers from Brisbane, Australia

Thank you James, we have achieved so much and are so thankful for each phase and season. Your support means so much to us, thank you for watching 🌸☀️👨👩👦👦🙏🏼🏡❤️🇵🇹
It never ceases to amaze me at how much children can change in just a couple of months!
Watching your videos twice a week is not only pure joy, as you are so energetic,both of you, but also because of your positivity which turns each obstacle to a possibility to learn a new skill. Tara,you helped me a lot, deciding to make the table and later on the balustrade. You showed me that if we never did something, we will never know if we are able to do it or not.

Thank you Barbara 🌸☀️👨👩👦👦🙏🏼🏡❤️🇵🇹
Hi Newbys you have achieved so much in a short space of time. Your 3 acre farm is slowly turning into your little piece of paradise.
Can't wait to see what the next year brings.
Tara and the table saw with the pencil behind her ear(raaaaaaah)💪🏿💪🏿💪🏿… Love the Family ❤️❤️❤️
No wonder John has sore shoulder with all the work he has done. you have a lovely family and place to live 🙂
Great recap of aaaaaall the things you have accomplished in just a few months time. You can truly be proud of yourselves!
Ta
Ra, you are a born storyteller. I really hope you consider writing a children's storybook. You can base it on those adorable heartbreaker boys and the farm. I am sure you can even do your own illustrations.
This was a lovely look back. I really hope that John's shoulder is all healed soon. Oh, yes, I for one love the Crusoe cam. He shows the world from a child 's eye, and it looks so big.
I just love you all so much. The music here was awesome!❤
You’re so close to 150k! Hoping John has rested and allowed himself to start the healing process! ✌️ ❤️
Caruso Cam will get steadier as he becomes a real filmmaker. Meanwhile, him saying wash your feet is the stuff that makes smiles. I'm glad I save this for my day off, its 44ºc it's hot and there is nothing to be done outside until the sun sets tonight. Peace and Happiness to you all and your families.
What fun watching this….time flies by and so much was done.
Crusoe, stole my ❤️heart. What an amazing job he did with the cam.
What a lovely reminder of all you’ve done in one short summer 😍 and with two young children in tow! Some achievement!
Such a lovely walk down memory lane. I have just watched the initial 15 minutes yet and will watch the rest in some time, but already enthralled with all the joy that bursts through the screen watching you all accomplish so much, bit by bit, together, supporting each other to the fullest. The family of the 4 of you and the generous help and camaraderie provided by those in your social circles. It's heartening to watch Tara and John not only bringing out all the beauty possible on the farm but also raising 2 absolutely wonderful kids in the process. Its a privilege to be able to watch this journey. Thank you so much for sharing and wish the rest of the year is delightful as well :)
Thank you so much friend, we have loved having you as part of our journey. Can't wait to see what the next 6 months have in store for us. Thanks so much for watching 🌸☀️👨👩👦👦🙏🏼🏡❤️🇵🇹
I’m forgetting…how old is Crusoe now? His speech is astounding for his age. Not only his vocabulary but his pronunciation. I can’t wait to see Sawyer talking.
Thank you so much Lynn, he turns 3 in February. Sawyer is catching up, soon he will be walking. Thanks for all the support friend 🌸☀️👨👩👦👦🙏🏼🏡❤️🇵🇹
When I see your sweet little boys every sunday, I remember my sons so many years ago in same age. Now they are nearly 29 years and 30 years old... they grew up so fast. Enjoy the time together as you do. Greetings from northern Germany near Hamburg.
Your success with your children is a rebuke to the modern fads of parenting. Thank you for being authentic 🎉 and for being you. ❤❤❤
You have done sooooooo much! No wonder John broke! Please just take a time out guys and don’t worry about us viewers! We will wait patiently for your journey to continue when all is well. Tara I loved the strut when you became chief, you did it superstar -mother,gardener,wife,builder,supporter,recorder,cook,homemaker, The boys are your reward! Bless you all
Hi Newby’s and Joao,
Belated Happy Birthday to Joao.
I watched this late Sunday night, this is the first time I’ve had to reply.
The amount of stuff you’ve done is mind blowing. While you were making this retrospective look at your lives, there must’ve been so many things to remind you of your accomplishments.
The boys are growing so fast, your parents must really miss them.
Crusoe is a mini John and Sawyer looks like he can’t wait to take off after Crusoe.
Watching Crusoe put his hands on his hips like John is hilarious.
Even the chickens have matured! The joy on Tara’s face the first time they laid eggs was priceless.
John works so hard, it must be maddening that he’s injured himself. He is so used to setting goals and achieving them. It has to be very frustrating.
Tara’s John imitation made me laugh again.
Your neighbors are all so kind and generous. Joao is a patient and kind young man. Seeing him with Crusoe is what we want to see in all young people.
You’ve created a blessed life!
❤ and Hugs to all of you,
Jacqueline in Colorado ❤
This was so nice to go back and see the transformation of your property, you have changed it so much and made it yours, well done. Hope the situation with John's injury is improving.Have a great week and see you Wednesday x
Absolutely loved seeing the look back, but my favorite is seeing how small Crusoe was and how he was just starting to put words together to the end where he was carrying on a conversation with you. Such a treasure to have these to look back on. You have such a beautiful home and family! Such a blessing to be able to raise your boys as you are! Much love ❤
We are so proud of our little boys Angie, thank you for caring so much for them as much as we do ❤️❤️❤️
Well done, Crusoe, for keeping something in frame while filming your mama most of the time 😃. You and your family are quite amazing. Hope you all grow happily on your farm in the clouds 🌻💞
Thanks so much for watching Marianela! 🌸☀️👨👩👦👦🙏🏼🏡❤️🇵🇹
Crusoe will enjoy watching these videos when he gets old.
Happy and Glorious Sunday Newby family what a journey from March to now almost the beginning of September. Crusoe in March just turned 2 years old, still not talking properly look at him now and Sawyer your little always smiling pumpkin will be 1 year old soon. Ups and downs we were sharing with you. You have come so far, it is amazing, all the work of renovating, planting harvesting, and even travelling. Rejoice the harvest is plentiful and brings us much JOY to see you all well. Cannot stop smiling when we saw you Tara overjoyed with your first 4 eggs, like a young girl seeing her first Christmas tree. Amazing. I think I told you already you have a wonderful narrator's voice and can narrate ebooks. Cheers thank-you for this memorable synopsis of the Newbys in Portugal. Obrigada🙏💖🌺🥰🏡🇵🇹🌎🌍🌏
Dear Newby family, Tara, John, Crusoe and Sawyer, is it no coincidence again on this FIRST DAY OF MARCH this video pop-ups on my page. I feel so blessed seeing your SPRING IS IN THE AIR when ours will be here in 2 months, although this video shows all your work done last year, we rejoice that ALL YOUR projects were successful. Now getting ready for MORE in 2024. Wishing you all a wonderful SPRING and BLOOMS all over your Homestead. One day Lord willing fully off grid, no coincidence for such a time like this. Good timing like John said. Cheers🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🌅🌄🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🌺🌺🌹🌺🌹🐓🐓🐓🐓👱👶🏡🌅🌅🌅🇵🇹
You both should be so so proud of your achievements Tara and John the property looks so good ❤
Thank you Megan 🌸☀️👨👩👦👦🙏🏼🏡❤️🇵🇹
Can only say how amazing you both are, Tara and John. Crusoe is a tonic…. And his vocabulary is astonishing…. Just loved the naughty selfie filming at the end of his Crusoe cam. Can’t wait for Sawyer to start talking….the 2 of them …..can you imagine! Big admiration and love to you 4! ❤
Thanks so much Andrea 🌸☀️👨👩👦👦🙏🏼🏡❤️🇵🇹
This is called happiness! Thanks for reminding us all....
Sending you light & love 🤍💫
Sawyer is such a little sweetie! He makes my heart happy! xxx
Your boys will always know how to grow their own food, build, gather eggs and find water!
You really have a slice of paradise and for you adorable sons no better place to grow up and also have cruso helping priceless ❤❤❤😊
You should be so proud of everything you've accomplished in a few months! Letting Crusoe chip in and help along the way. If it feels overwhelming at certain times, well that's because the two of you are raising two healthy sons, and also working on the land, so that you don't let it get ahead of you. Well Done Newbys-John I'm glad you're resting your shoulder!
Condensed into 1 hour, this huge transformation seems very simple, even though it was not easy! Congratulation to you!
Life does not have to contain only duty, compulsion and unpleasantness. You show in a simple and joyful way that you can work and achieve balance and harmony in life. Thanks for another great episode. Hugs to you! 💚💙💛❤
Such a nice reminder of all that you have accomplished on your homestead in a few short months! Kudos! Including us on your family's journey brings much en-JOY-ment! THANK YOU! ❤
What a delightful collection of vignettes of your achievements. And how quick the little ones have grown! Beautiful editing and assembling. Most inspiring!😊
I have watched you grow as a family for the best part of a year, I look forward to seeing you twice a week I go around my house singing your opening song . With the hardship you sometimes face and it must be tiering and sometimes hard your amazing with two beautiful children giving them the best quality of life .
Never commentated befor so I thought I will tell your doing great .
What a wonderful look back over the last 6 months! Some moments, as we’ve been along the entire journey seem like yesterday!!! You both have worked so very hard and your farm has turned into such a beautiful home! ~Cara ❤❤❤
Thanks so much Cara 🌸☀️👨👩👦👦🙏🏼🏡❤️🇵🇹
I love it when you make videos of the before and the progress you have made to the now, and all the sweet footage of the children and how they are growing. Keep being amazing!
What a great video, it's easy to forget what progress you have made in 6 months and how quickly the boys are growing up. I do love clips of Tara being John, really makes me smile. Hope John is feeling better. Great work Newbys ❤❤
Fantastic recap! Crusoe will be an expert with the camera before he can ride a bicycle!
Lovely video showing all your hard work in a short time and you have achieved so much while including the boys. Not surprised you have had a few blips.
Beautiful family. Thank you
What a beaut video. We have travelled far with you. So much accomplished in a few short months. Gosh the boys are growig. Time goes so fast with them. Fingers crossed for John's neck and shoulder to heal quickly. Tara you are amazing at the things you tackle, as if motherhood isn't enough when they are little.
Well done all of you. ❤
Such a lovely compilation of your year. Watching it develop & the children grow has been a delight.
I love the effort you put into your videos. It really makes watching them a pleasure. The music especially is lovely not least your very happy intro music. Always puts a smile on my face & a skip in my step without fail. Don't ever doubt yourselves with RUclips . Someone somewhere will be enjoying them immensely. Xxx
I totally agree with Lynn Foster.. was thinking exactly the same thing.. Crusoe’s speech and vocabulary
is AMAZING!!.. and his agility etc.. helping Mum and Dad all the time .. he is absolutely gorgeous, and what an incredible way to grow and learn on your Beautiful Farm. Tara and John.. I am totally addicted to your show.. can’t wait for next episode.. and when Crusoe and Sawyer can play together..
WELL DONE NEWBYS!!… Ina Zikesch.. AUSTRALIA.
Further to above… just had to mention.. Crusoe’s confidence and ability coming down those
steep stairs!… I thought he would go head over heels!!.. also his love of fruit is astounding for a child of that age. Also wish your videos were numbered.. bit hard to get in the right order.
I also follow LEAW…Sara & Luca, Mr. & Mrs. Adventure, Drew & Brittany, Raising Voyagers,
Heather & Brady… BEAUTIFUL to think like minded people are such good friends. … Ina, AUZZIE
What an amazing journey. I take my hat off to you both. You both are incredibly strong and so determined. Watching your journey is an honor. The opportunity you are creating for the four of you is amazing
Love you beautiful family❤
We’re still in the ‘vanlife’ phase. Living fulltime in our camper with our 2 children (of 10 and 2) but one day we’ll buy some land too! Love what you guys created for yourself ❤
Thank you friend. Good luck with the van life! Wonderful fun!
I just wanted to say I've loved watching your journey creating your amazing home and loved watching your family grow. Good luck with everything. I'm looking forward to seeing your next video, Michelle
What a wonderful rain storm 🌧️💦☔️My garden would love a good soaking like that in our dry California summers 🌱💚❤️
You will never know how watching your journey lifts my spirits It may sound crazy but feel like your my extended my family Like any great grandmother I am bursting with pride at all of your many achievements but also your attitude to life. Watching the arrival of the chickens reminded me of the time when a chicken hid in your van and traveled mikes before you realised you had a hitchhiker on board. Hope John is not overdoing it AGAIN I think if you had picked a different lifestyle he would have been a workaholic lol
Wow, that was so lovely to watch again, just a reminder of how much work you've done. No wonder you came to a burnout. And so glad you felt so supported by all of us "watchers" and took advice to have a break a reevaluate your lives. You have the best lives ever, two beautiful little boys, a gorgeous place to live and work in. You're not 9 to 5 job people. When you need a break, then take one. It doesn't need to be a mammoth trip. Just visit friends, a picnic on the lawn, or watch a sunset. It will restore your souls. X PS loved the little clip of Tara transforming into John. 😂
We feel very supported by you all Cherie. We love hearing from you and being able to share all these adventures and projects with you. Thanks so much for watching friend 🌸☀️👨👩👦👦🙏🏼🏡❤️🇵🇹
Tara you did a great job on this video.... (narration, music, videography). I enjoyed watching it. You and John must be so proud of all you have accomplished in the past 6 months! Thank you for sharing your property and your sweet little boys. ❤ from Canada 🇨🇦
Thanks so much friend 🌸☀️👨👩👦👦🙏🏼🏡❤️🇵🇹
I absolutely love this family. The kids are so happy and so much love even with all the hard work. You all are truly a joy. Thank you for sharing your farm life with us. My mother grew up on ab12,000 acre homestead that is still in my family. Brings back so many memories.
Thanks so much for watching Richard 🌸☀️👨👩👦👦🙏🏼🏡❤️🇵🇹
Wonderful Vedic Curuso. You are adorable. But the apples don’t fall too far from the tree. Amazing family. I enjoy watching your projects every time I can.
You have created a wonderful home and done amazing things on the land! The boys are beautiful and so cute. Crusoe’s talking is so good. Really enjoy following your story of such a loving family who work hard with great success. Such adorable, happy boys! ❤
What you have done is beyond amazing.
Very enjoyable video! The progress in your homestead is impressive, the editing artful and Tara's narrative voice is always a delight. The wooden outdoor space is dreamy, the lawn and borders you're planting, the boulders, mosses, lichens and trees create a magical atmosphere... ❤
Good Sunday morning, John, Tara, Crusoe, & Sawyer❤😂😮😢😊 enjoyed the journey back, seeing all the wonderful, accomplishments and fun it was, and so much more to come. until next time, take care & God bless❤ Bjs 💋
Wow John and Tara..you have accomplished so much. Your property is really beautiful..and so productive, and all due to your hard work. Well done!
Thank you for showing us the beautiful flowers! Thank you for introducing the chickens by name. Thanks for the recap! Ibwill watch this one over and over. The boys are so adorable!
The progress you've achieved since last March in outstanding and unfortunately John also started with his shoulder pain. Hope he will recover soon. The kids have grown up to be so lovely; the vegetable garden has given such an abundance of great produce. All the very best to your lovely familyTara and John❤❤❤
A lot has happened and changed Luisa, we are so thankful for all your support throughout the seasons. Thank you for watching friend 🌸☀️👨👩👦👦🙏🏼🏡❤️🇵🇹
You have done an amazing amount of work in the past 6 months and credit goes to you all; especially Crusoe & Saywer for the taste testing of all the veggies, plums and apples etc. etc. ....
Thanks so much friend! We have loved having you as part of our journey 🌸☀️👨👩👦👦🙏🏼🏡❤️🇵🇹
I remember the tiling in the tiny house😱I love watching your boys grow❤❤❤ You have accomplished soooo much in just over a year!!!🌈👏💚🥰 Can't wait to follow along on each new adventure and sharing in the love, thrills and unbounded joy of your life in Portugal🤗😍💛
What a gift this epic video is!! Must have taken forever to edit 😵💫 It’s been a wild ride so far this year, and there’s much to look forward to!! Hopefully you have time to smell the roses and fill your cup 👍🏻 Thank you for sharing it all with us 😘🥳🎈💕
We are so happy to hear you enjoyed it Sandra, it did take quite a while to edit but it was worth it. We love seeing how much has changed in 6 months. Thanks for all your support 🌸☀️👨👩👦👦🙏🏼🏡❤️🇵🇹
Mamma, pappa and two beautiful little boys thank you for sharing your journey with us. May the Lord always be with you. Granny Strand South Africa❤
Thank you for the time-lapse. Wow, how much both kids have grown. And your harvest....my goodness. You can certainly freeze and preserve a ton of stuff to get you through the Winter. You also have marvelous neighbours who helped and guided you throughout the whole process. ❤🎉
Thanks so much for watching friend. Your support means so much to us 🌸☀️👨👩👦👦🙏🏼🏡❤️🇵🇹
Thank you for letting us join your journey on this wonderful farm! 😍😎
Wonderfull keep going this is what life is and have a strong Faith on God Almighty , I am from Pakistan Living in USA , Learned so much from you guys specially your theme song i love it , regards Dr Sohail Ghani
Where has 6 months gone? You should be very proud of yourselves for every little goal you've achieved. Carry on guys it's awesome.
Time has flown by Gail! Thanks so much for watching and for all your support over the past 6 months, we love that we get to share these moments and seasons with you 🌸☀️👨👩👦👦🙏🏼🏡❤️🇵🇹
Crusoe has developed so much over this few months , physically and mentally. His speech came on in leaps and bounds . Kay
Watching today I realise I'd missed some bits . Good to catch up on them. I'd been wondering about the complex of buildings and wondering how you could expand into them to make accommodation for the boys . I see another building really close to the main one that you could convert and then add a bit to link that wing to the first house . Probably that would double your accommodation ? Great . God bless Kay
I just found your first video and the tour of the buildings. Interesting. Its more complicated than i thought . The bungalow certainly would make a good house with a new roof ! Then the two smaller ones could be let out ?
It will be interesting to see what you will do eventually. And ive got all the videos of your safari through Africa to watch . I love Africa, have visited twice, Egypt and Ghana. Love Kay
Thanks so much friend, we are very proud of both our little boys ❤️❤️❤️
I love the way you guys enjoy working together and just pour in the blood, sweat and tears into it. Keep up the great work 💪💪❤❤
Y’all should be very proud of yourselves for an amazing wonderful life!
Parabéns pelo fantástico sucesso em todos os projectos que se propuseram realizar durante o ano que passou...A minha enorme admiração pelo gosto, alegria e serenidade que revelam nos vídeos que vejo com imenso prazer, sempre com um sorriso nos lábios!!!! Aprecio a ajuda e o interesse que o Crusoe mostra, esforçando-se, com a sua carinha laroca!!!! Entendo perfeitamente a ligação da Tara pela vida ao ar livre, à natureza tendo sido criada em África! Conheci uma parte da ex-Rodésia quando vivi em Moçambique e passava férias na Beira. Felicidades nos vossos projectos futuros, acompanho-vos sempre! 😊
John and Tara, you have accomplished so much and everything looks so beautiful!
This was so beautifully presented! Well done! Thanks for the lovely lift to my day. More Crusoe cam! 😍
Thank you so much for taking us back through to show us all the things you've done and been through from the very beginning. Great video and am looking forward to more of your journey. Keep on keeping on!
Tara! A physical garden journal would be a great purchase, we forget and that keeps things on track …
It’s great to see how much you have done in what is relatively quiet a short period of time. Great work love to you all ❤
Så mycket fint ni har gjort på ett år. Så kul att följa er, lycka till med allt!
Time sure has flown guys, I loved the episodes in the van and now I am loving watching you build and garden with the boys by your side. You have inspired me, even if it is just to propagate some basil plants for my garden. Take care and I look forward to all the projects you have in mind. Cheers from Brisbane, Australia
T was to look back at all your progress. Love Crusoe and how he is such a good little helper.
I must say the lawn is looking beter and better. WELL DONE.
As always, such fun to watch. I never miss an episode. Your farm is beautiful and your outside kitchen an inspiration. Go well in all you do.
Thanks so much Cathy! Your support means so much to us 🌸☀️👨👩👦👦🙏🏼🏡❤️🇵🇹
