I felt like we started chatting at a coffee shop, just two strangers getting to know each other, enjoyed very much! I think your home is amazing, warm and welcoming!
Hi ADELINA, I've yet to watch one of your videos which I I didn't thoroughly enjoy, and this one is, as ever, a jewel. I too love animals, and share my 1,100 sq ft single story town house with my 14 yr old Mountain Feist dog, adopted at age one, Harper Lee, and my 4/5 ? yr old short haired tuxedo cat, given to me by my granddaughter when one of her neighbors moved and left the cat to fend for itself, Squeaky. I feed, groom, and take care of them, and they entertain, comfort, and listen to me talk, talk, and talk. If I had ever in my 77 years today, found a man who greeted me the way Harper Lee and Squeaky do when I return home, whether I've been away for ten minutes or hours, I would not be twice married and twice divorced. As you can tell, I have no problem talking about myself, so it is difficult for me to understand why you have a problem talking about yourself. You are an extremely warm, genuine, funny, interesting person, and I've always felt like you are talking directly to me, but maybe I too would have your problem if I had a RUclips channel and knew I could possibly be talking to, as is your case, 18K people, plus an almost limitless number of others. You keep taking good care of yourself, be safe, keep posting your great videos, and I'll keep showing up in your comments section. Much love, Alice in South Carolina, US.
One thing I love about your vlogs is the easy, natural way you chat to your viewers. During these times of isolation it makes me feel like I am chatting over coffee with a good friend. Thanks! Stay safe and well.
I am also vegan for the animals. Went vegetarian 32 years ago, raised my kids from birth that way, and gradually got all rid of all animal products. I find being vegan is actually easier for me because the line has been drawn, no more occasional snicker bars, nothing. I hope more people learn about the reality of the meat and dairy industry, and the harmful effects it has on other living things, the earth, and your health. Thank you so much for sharing a bit about your journey, you are a joy to watch. ❤️🙂
This was delightful to hear about you! I’m originally from Texas but have lived in Saskatchewan for 38 years now and became a Canadian citizen in the process. I too love living here, cold and all. Thank you for sharing your life with us.
Sharing about yourself is what makes your channel feel like we are having a cup of coffee with you! All the information about living tiny, being vegan and working towards a sustainable retirement is very much appreciated.
I think you are quite admirable. I will likely never make it as a vegan but that doesn't mean I don't support it. I tend towards urban farm, self-sufficiency myself. This little old place will never be off grid but every little step I take gets me closer. I really like watching your videos. You are an inspiration. Please keep going! My chatty cat Peaches says "hello" to Sofie.
Thank god for your cat jumping up on the back of the sofa at 3:30 to knock the toy off. I was mesmerized by it, trying to figure out why you had a.....toad? baby owl? chipmunk? back there.
Wonderful to be part of your life! We bought some land and wanted a tiny house, but for now we got a small mobile home. Hopelly we get our dream come true soon!!!
Thanks for sharing! I enjoyed your stories! We have a few things in common. I myself moved to Montreal from Haiti when I was 4 years old, but now live in the US. Im also a vegan for the same reason as you.I appreciate you putting yourself out there!
You have been strong and independent all your life , I love that!! I too, have always had cats for pets, they are loving, peaceful, and steadfast. My kitty is my buddy, he gives me just the right amount of affection! He is by my side throughout each day, whether I am at my desk or in the kitchen, his only joy is to be with me!
Had to laugh when Sophie rushed in meowing when you shook the Temptations packet! Our girl loves them too. Very brave taking the plunge to get your tiny house but bet it's been worth it. It's often a case of fear of the unknown.
I appreciate you taking this time to fill us in a bit about you. I figured you were not keen on the self revealing element yet I believe stretching yourself to engage more personally will boost the growth of your page or whatever they're called. Maybe you could try once a month orconce a quarter to start. Even if you cannot bring yourself to talk specifically about you, you might tell a story about a person who impacted you or some such. Loved it!! Thank you much.
Thank you for taking the time to sit down and go through a few things - just starting out on my own Tiny journey and your thoughts and answers have helped a lot! I also have cats and enjoying seeing tiny dwellers with their pets :D!
Gosh I can only add to the many comments saying how lovely, courageous and yet humble you seem. And this was before you even mentioned being vegan. I am so happy I came across your channel!
I really appreciate your story of your immigrant family and your gratefulness at being welcomed into our country. Although I was born in Canada, my parents were also European immigrants who fled a very difficult circumstances to find a new start in Canada. I think that we all need to think about our roots and to be welcoming to immigrants who find shelter in our country in these difficult times in our world.
Haha she wasn’t quite as quick and agile as the cat in the commercials. Guess she knows she doesn’t need to do any fancy moves to get at the treats. Love listening to you and thankyou for putting these videos together
I always look forward to seeing you. Sometimes when you do something scary , just have to put one foot 👣 in front of the other Like you said . I would think having two small boys to support by yourself, would be scary. No matter if it was by choice or not
Great video! I enjoyed learning more about you, your cat, kids, family, and of course, your tiny house. Seeing your videos is such a joy. You look so relaxed and happy. They inspire me to “dream tiny”.
Good Morning, this Video was so, Wonderful, your Home is Beautiful, you look, a Great with Curls, your Cat story was so, Precious, I would have done the same thing. To know You are Vegan put a Smile on my Face, for I am 9 years Vegan and for I love this Loving Lifestyle, thank you for sharing your Lovely Story, have a Wonderful, Wednesday, love, Diana Lipski, you look absolutely, Beautiful and Fit 😍
Great video! Thank you! I have 2 long haired chihuahua’s, and I would probably be crazier than I already am without them. I got my first one when my cat Emma, was 16. She tolerated them, but never really liked them. (She passed away 1 1/2 years ago at the age of 19).
"Just do it Scared" I tell myself this phrase at least once a month. I also tell myself, if it's meant to be, it's up to me. So far so good because looking back, is defeating the purpose of living my adventure.
You did a great job. I know how awkward it can be talking about yourself! You sound like someone I’d enjoy having a coffee with. That’s always been my measurement of a great person 😂 enjoy your day and our lovely Canadian weather! Hi to beautiful Sophie! ❤️❤️
I came upon your videos yesterday for the first time and I am enjoying learning about your experience living in a tiny house. We are practically neighbours as I live in the same mobile park as you do. 😊
Love your videos. I am a curly girl who during the pandemic decided to brace my curls, it was so freeing. I am vegan because of the animals as well. I relate to you very much… also a cat lover. My little girl Stella we rescued from a kill shelter, after we lost our cat Franny who passed at 8 years old from kidney failure. Miss her Stella is the boss,and it’s ok, they are with us such a short time, we spoil her but we get so much love in return
Thank you so much for letting your hair down and letting us connect with you. You are an interesting person. I am living vicariously through you. Love ya
Thank you for sharing a little about yourself! All of your videos are so informative and enjoyable and you are so pleasant to listen to. I look forward to your next video.
I enjoyed hearing about some of your background!I just love your tiny house and your cat Sophie!❤️ my cat died about eight months ago. I’m not sure about another💔! I can only imagine what a help she has been during these times! We in Upper Michigan are getting the January cold snap now(-29 degrees wind chill) You can probably relate to that!??
I think you’re a beautiful soul! I have 2 Ragdoll cats and I agree....they are company to me when I feel alone. Thank you for sharing! I love your hair curly! ❤️
Been binge watching your more recent videos, and enjoyed this one. It answered so many of the questions i had, about being a vegan just one. I'm a vegetarian, animal lover. Only can see eating dairy or eggs if they were my pets, thats how i would consider them part of the family.
I love hearing about how you made your way to your dream. I love the area where you finally have a place to stay. Get some bear spray for the walks in the bush and by the river. Vancouver Island has bears and cougars, just watch your surroundings.
Excellent to know that the house is "moveable when it needs to be with a simple "wide-load-permit". Most CDL-A drivers could do this move...but they are usually only hired to do so...after 3-5 years of driving experience in CDL-A. Moving on: So, you started out as a "Teller" in a bank.....then moved onto that which is manageable on a home computer...that's quite a jump...showing your talent as well. So...suggestion. You should team up with your "home builder" and offer the schematics for this build; being its a bit unique at "one foot wider than usual" moving down the street. Show people a copy of a 'special permit" needed to move such a tiny house...make it believable/by showing....then sell a bunch of "Plans for your house"...with possible changes....by working with your company/builder. Too many peeps would like to have that little bit extra room...for viable living Like your "speed, background history (Hx), enthusiasm,...knowledge and overall thoughtfulness. You're a fun person to listen to. You could represent "ANY" company that YOU believed in...and become wealthy selling things. I know this is NOT your goal...you don't exude haughtiness or covetousness. This is entirely why you would become "monetarily successful doing so. I think God and Jesus MUST be first in your life...and everyone's. Cheers.
I've enjoyed watching the videos about your tiny house life. I've watched other tiny house videos, but I really like how you made your house and the layout, because I too would not like having to climb into a loft, etc. You do have storage steps to your bedroom and that is great, plus you do have the other loft for storage or whatever you would need. You really have thought it out well. I love the kitchen layout and the special made cabinets, the built in pantry space, the air exchange system to keep down moisture, etc. VERY well thought out. Nice!
Thanks for the personal chat. I feel like I have a lot in common with you (animal and cat love) and could be friends in real life. During these quarantine years it is nice to have a friend to talk to, even if you are doing all the talking. You are giving me lots of ideas and inspiration regarding vegan cooking and tiny house life. Keep making videos, hope you don't run out of ideas, I know it takes a fair amount of planning to put together a RUclips video but keep up the good work!
You're amazing. I feel like crying (well, I'm on day 11 of covid also, lol, emotional about everything) but I can so relate. Just go for it! That's where I'm at in my life also. I'm 56 and have been battling the trauma of multiple abusive relationships, unjust poverty, single parenthood, and professional assassinations, but enough is enough! My only way out is entrepreneurship, but I am very skilled and equipped for that, just have to GO FOR IT! You are truly inspiring me madam! God bless!
Thank you for sharing. I, too, do not like to draw attention to myself. Thank you for opening up. I have wanted a tiny house so long but still so scared to take that first step. You are so inspiring.
Just love your videos. You do give hope that the tiny life style is doable, and are so easy going and open. thank you for talking about your journey - it's more helpful than you know.
I like all your great information. You have a very comfortable communication style and voice that is gentle and easy to listen to. I hope you have a long and happy tiny house journey.
I loved the video! What a great price for your THOW & all it includes like the appliances. Wondered abt your hair; you’re lucky-mine is thin & fine dang it. You are Sophie’s loyal subject-lol-my cat comes when I shake her Greenies’ bag of snacks like Sophie comes for her Temptations. So glad we’re on the planet together, Adelina! I simply adore you. My husband just said he thinks you “are a smart woman & a great catch for someone. But that someone would need to want a strong, capable woman.” In other words, you’re a #Badass & guess what?!? There are good, decent men (and women) who appreciate & desire a Badass woman! I loved this video. It was great to learn more about you! Much love,~Marirose (and Daniel)💙💫🌀
Like you, my grandmother came to the US from Portugal when she was a very young girl. The first time she saw snow she said, "No wonder Americans are so rich. Look, sugar falls from the sky here!" To take advantage of this discovery, she took pots and pans outside to gather up the "sugar." Of course, later that day it all melted! As she would tell it, that was her first lesson regarding how things were not always as they seemed.
Always enjoy listening to people's life story!! Again thank you for sharing!! Cheers. I accomplished a lot by simply watching your videos. Thanks!! Yes click on the bell! Bye
Although I am from the Lethbridge area, I have worked close to the NWT. Now in my 60s, I feel the need for a little more warmth than most Canadian winters give.
I’ve recently found you when scrolling through organizing videos. Watched your home tour and love your beautiful home. I’ve had cats and dogs my entire life, and at this point I have a 19 year old calico and a 9 year old tortie! They keep me hopping to take care of their every need! Recently lost my 17 year old Jack Russell Terrier, Josie, which was devastating because it happened without warning, a blood clot and seizures 💔🐾🐾 I look forward to more of your wonderful videos!
You are so charming. Just found your channel and decided to subscribe. I always thought I could live in a tiny house. I chose a small cottage on the lake instead. When the kids left (single mom too) I downsized from a 2,000 sq ft house to 850. My worry with a tiny house was always where I could park it, as they are not yet fully accepted in communities and there are so many by laws. I live in Ontario so have cold winters but not as cold as Alberta for sure. I do love your home. It's very livable but I am a bit taller and older than you so would want a stand up bedroom. Thank you for sharing a bit about yourself. Really enjoyed hearing it.
Adelina: Thanks for the info about your continuing life saga;very informative. I hope you can get to Vancouver Island;for the milder winters and the outdoor fun! Victoria is very expensive,but up the road around Ladysmith or Nanaimo you can have the lifestyle you desire. There are mobile parks on Jingle Pot Road in Nanaimo. Also up Island around Comox I remember seeing some parks. I'm partial to the Island as I grew up around Campbell River and we had some great times around Miracle Beach and many other venues! You'll have to get your boys to join you on your "westward trek!" Your Sophie,too! Cheers-Sandy&Andy from Penticton (another wonderful place!)
Well loved the video, and 😉 your hair. We sold our land so guess no tiny house for us. NS hasn’t gotten on bandwagon much yet. But our house is 972 sq ft so not big. Lol great video.
Fabulous Adelina. I'm very proud of you.😻 (My mother came from another country, to the U.S. by herself...and my parents went to Calgary, where I was almost borm.) You inspire me for many different reasons, especially for taking the time to make your videos and share about yourself. I hope to extend myself more, too. My kitty says hi. Blessings for your week.🌷🌷🌷
@@myBIGtinyhouselife Hi! I'm headed out to donate blood...just a p.s...we have the same hair. Lol. 🤓 But, I've been struggling with it not behaving lately. What do you use on it? Thanks!
Thanks!! Your words came at a great time, since only moments ago I sent payment for a tiny Class C camper - my first, and well researched, but still nerve-wracking. Your calm and warm demeanor is a breath of fresh air, and always welcome.
Even though it feels awkward talking about yourself, it makes the whole story way more interesting. Btw: I eat very little meat & I always feel sad for the animals that got slaughtered. I'm in a frame of mind to give it up again.
Thank you for your video...loved that you shared more about yourself... I tell my husband when he asks what/who am I watching...I say... " just watching my friend Adelina on RUclips"🤗👍
Thank you for sharing. I’ve been wrestling with myself on next steps and could not see the RV life long term. Your tiny home on wheels has me glued to your videos and you are engaging, informative, and a pleasure to spend time with in this virtual contact . Stay healthy and thanks for talking to us!!!
I loved this! Very interesting to get to know a little more about you and your lifestyle. 😊 also: when the time comes for a dog, I’d like to recommend a mini schnauzer! I’m in love with them and they do not shed at all! 🥰
Hi I first found you when I started my research on tiny homes. I loved your taste and colors. So happy to find you have a channel and I’ve gotten so many good tips. I’ll keep tuning in and hope to try a recipe.
I felt like we started chatting at a coffee shop, just two strangers getting to know each other, enjoyed very much! I think your home is amazing, warm and welcoming!
Thanks Heide 😊
You’re my kindred spirit lol...tiny life, vegan, animal lover, cat owner. I loved learning a bit about you. Thank you so much for sharing😊
LOL! Thanks Jennifer 🙏🏼☺️
Yes for me too. Esp as an animal lover and rescuer myself.
🙏🏼❤️🐈
Hi ADELINA, I've yet to watch one of your videos which I I didn't thoroughly enjoy, and this one is, as ever, a jewel.

Hi Alice! Thanks for telling me about your fur friends. They really are amazing ☺️. PS, so true about men LOL!
You're like a good friend you could sit and chat with for hours. Love all your videos. As always, thanks for sharing with all of us.
I agree totally.
One thing I love about your vlogs is the easy, natural way you chat to your viewers. During these times of isolation it makes me feel like I am chatting over coffee with a good friend. Thanks! Stay safe and well.

Ok, you left the warm winters, but you gained the cooler summers. :)
I too lived tiny for 12 yrs, have cats, and am vegan. Grin - love your channel

Sharing about yourself is what makes your channel feel like we are having a cup of coffee with you! All the information about living tiny, being vegan and working towards a sustainable retirement is very much appreciated.

I'm glad your Dad decided on Canada so we could get to know you.🇨🇦🇵🇹🇨🇦
Thank god for your cat jumping up on the back of the sofa at 3:30 to knock the toy off. I was mesmerized by it, trying to figure out why you had a.....toad? baby owl? chipmunk? back there.
LOL! It’s her cat nip mouse. 😊
Your story is important. All our stories matter. Thank you for putting yourself out there and letting us get to know you more. ❤️❤️
Wonderful to be part of your life! We bought some land and wanted a tiny house, but for now we got a small mobile home. Hopelly we get our dream come true soon!!!
That’s exciting! 🙏🏼☺️
Dogs have masters, cats have staff! You got that right 😊
Thanks for sharing! I enjoyed your stories! We have a few things in common. I myself moved to Montreal from Haiti when I was 4 years old, but now live in the US. Im also a vegan for the same reason as you.I appreciate you putting yourself out there!

Loved it!! Thank you much.
I love that idea ☺️🙏🏼
Always interesting and enjoyable. I love cats too.
Hi Adelina👋 great video 😊 thanks for sharing 👍Sophia is so cute 😺 I love the way she swatted her pet mouse off the back of your couch 😄 🐁
Thank you for taking the time to sit down and go through a few things - just starting out on my own Tiny journey and your thoughts and answers have helped a lot! I also have cats and enjoying seeing tiny dwellers with their pets :D!
Glad it was helpful!
I agree 100% about your cats being vocal because you talk to them a lot. That has always been my experience too.
Thank you for opening up to us here. You are a brave woman. I enjoy all your videos. You've taught me a lot. ❤
Thanks so much 🙏🏼☺️
This was very interesting and it was as if I was sitting in your living room chatting with you 😊
I like your videos and admire your life in a tiny home. I am a vegan too - and it is inconvenient but worth it. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks 😊
Gosh I can only add to the many comments saying how lovely, courageous and yet humble you seem. And this was before you even mentioned being vegan. I am so happy I came across your channel!
Thanks Melanie 😊
Fun video!
Thanks for sharing,

I really appreciate your story of your immigrant family and your gratefulness at being welcomed into our country. Although I was born in Canada, my parents were also European immigrants who fled a very difficult circumstances to find a new start in Canada. I think that we all need to think about our roots and to be welcoming to immigrants who find shelter in our country in these difficult times in our world.
I will forever be grateful to my father for bringing us here.
It’s so cool that you remember becoming a Canadian citizen!!! What a gift 🎁 your parents have you all!!! ❤❤
It is a great memory. They were so proud to become citizens of such a great country 😊🇨🇦.
Thank you I am Portuguese too I am like you love animals take care stay safe
Thanks 😊
Haha she wasn’t quite as quick and agile as the cat in the commercials. Guess she knows she doesn’t need to do any fancy moves to get at the treats. Love listening to you and thankyou for putting these videos together
I always look forward to seeing you. Sometimes when you do something scary , just have to put one foot 👣 in front of the other
Like you said . I would think having two small boys to support by yourself, would be scary. No matter if it was by choice or not
I love the fact you can sit and talk and not spill your coffee!!! Lol. Loved the treat at the end.
😁
Great video! I enjoyed learning more about you, your cat, kids, family, and of course, your tiny house. Seeing your videos is such a joy. You look so relaxed and happy. They inspire me to “dream tiny”.
Thanks Elizabeth 🙏🏼☺️
Thank you for sharing. So nice to know you and Sophie better. ❤️😊
I knew u were Portuguese right away. We came to Toronto when I was 1. Now I'm 47.
You put a smile on my face.
Thanks 😊
Love your HAIR!!!! 😊

That’s a good long life for a kitty ❤️🙏🏼
"Just do it Scared" I tell myself this phrase at least once a month. I also tell myself, if it's meant to be, it's up to me. So far so good because looking back, is defeating the purpose of living my adventure.
I love your saying so much! I’m going to use that too! ☺️🙏🏼
So funny, when you shook the Temptation bag, my cats too perked up and meowed at me! 😂
LOL!
Thank you for sharing!!! 😊 💜❄
You did a great job. I know how awkward it can be talking about yourself! You sound like someone I’d enjoy having a coffee with. That’s always been my measurement of a great person 😂 enjoy your day and our lovely Canadian weather! Hi to beautiful Sophie! ❤️❤️

Thank you, I enjoyed your more personal vlog. I really would appreciate more recipes, I’m thoroughly enjoying trying your vegan recipes 😊
thank you for sharing. Love your house and Sophie. Love that you love animals that much!
I enjoyed hearing about some of your background!I just love your tiny house and your cat Sophie!❤️ my cat died about eight months ago. I’m not sure about another💔!

Hello Frank. Thank you. BTW I’ve never worked in a bank. I’m a certified financial planner for a large company.
Awwww, you are sweet. I too am a curly haired, Portuguese (American) and I must say, you give me You-Can-Do-It vibes. So thank you for that. 😘
Thanks Cheryl ❤️
I've enjoyed watching the videos about your tiny house life. I've watched other tiny house videos, but I really like how you made your house and the layout, because I too would not like having to climb into a loft, etc. You do have storage steps to your bedroom and that is great, plus you do have the other loft for storage or whatever you would need. You really have thought it out well. I love the kitchen layout and the special made cabinets, the built in pantry space, the air exchange system to keep down moisture, etc. VERY well thought out. Nice!
Thanks Cyndy 😊🙏🏼
Thank you for sharing your story! I enjoy it so much❣️
Thanks for the personal chat. I feel like I have a lot in common with you (animal and cat love) and could be friends in real life. During these quarantine years it is nice to have a friend to talk to, even if you are doing all the talking. You are giving me lots of ideas and inspiration regarding vegan cooking and tiny house life. Keep making videos, hope you don't run out of ideas, I know it takes a fair amount of planning to put together a RUclips video but keep up the good work!
Thanks Betty ☺️🙏🏼.
You're amazing. I feel like crying (well, I'm on day 11 of covid also, lol, emotional about everything) but I can so relate. Just go for it! That's where I'm at in my life also. I'm 56 and have been battling the trauma of multiple abusive relationships, unjust poverty, single parenthood, and professional assassinations, but enough is enough! My only way out is entrepreneurship, but I am very skilled and equipped for that, just have to GO FOR IT! You are truly inspiring me madam! God bless!
Good for you! I hope you are doing well now ❤️🙏🏽.
You are the sweetest… glad I found your channel.
Thank you for sharing. I, too, do not like to draw attention to myself. Thank you for opening up. I have wanted a tiny house so long but still so scared to take that first step. You are so inspiring.
Thanks Junea ☺️🙏🏼
Just love your videos. You do give hope that the tiny life style is doable, and are so easy going and open. thank you for talking about your journey - it's more helpful than you know.
Thanks for your kind words Kathleen.
I like all your great information. You have a very comfortable communication style and voice that is gentle and easy to listen to. I hope you have a long and happy tiny house journey.
Thanks Maureen ☺️. Funny you say that. The sound of my own voice was the hardest thing to get used to when I started making videos 🤷🏻♀️🙄😜.
I loved the video! What a great price for your THOW & all it includes like the appliances. Wondered abt your hair; you’re lucky-mine is thin & fine dang it.
You are Sophie’s loyal subject-lol-my cat comes when I shake her Greenies’ bag of snacks like Sophie comes for her Temptations.
So glad we’re on the planet together, Adelina! I simply adore you. My husband just said he thinks you “are a smart woman & a great catch for someone. But that someone would need to want a strong, capable woman.” In other words, you’re a #Badass & guess what?!? There are good, decent men (and women) who appreciate & desire a Badass woman!
I loved this video. It was great to learn more about you! Much love,~Marirose (and Daniel)💙💫🌀
Like you, my grandmother came to the US from Portugal when she was a very young girl. The first time she saw snow she said, "No wonder Americans are so rich. Look, sugar falls from the sky here!" To take advantage of this discovery, she took pots and pans outside to gather up the "sugar." Of course, later that day it all melted! As she would tell it, that was her first lesson regarding how things were not always as they seemed.
That’s a great story. The first time it snowed we thought it was sugar too!
Always enjoy listening to people's life story!! Again thank you for sharing!! Cheers. I accomplished a lot by simply watching your videos. Thanks!! Yes click on the bell! Bye
Although I am from the Lethbridge area, I have worked close to the NWT. Now in my 60s, I feel the need for a little more warmth than most Canadian winters give.
Exactly 😊
I can't tell you how much I appreciate you. Your videos are very encouraging.
Thank you ❤️.
I’ve recently found you when scrolling through organizing videos. Watched your home tour and love your beautiful home. I’ve had cats and dogs my entire life, and at this point I have a 19 year old calico and a 9 year old tortie! They keep me hopping to take care of their every need! Recently lost my 17 year old Jack Russell Terrier, Josie, which was devastating because it happened without warning, a blood clot and seizures 💔🐾🐾 I look forward to more of your wonderful videos!
Sophie says 'I'm here, are the treats real or are you teasing?' ha ha. Animals are the best friends x.
You are so charming. Just found your channel and decided to subscribe. I always thought I could live in a tiny house. I chose a small cottage on the lake instead. When the kids left (single mom too) I downsized from a 2,000 sq ft house to 850. My worry with a tiny house was always where I could park it, as they are not yet fully accepted in communities and there are so many by laws. I live in Ontario so have cold winters but not as cold as Alberta for sure. I do love your home. It's very livable but I am a bit taller and older than you so would want a stand up bedroom. Thank you for sharing a bit about yourself. Really enjoyed hearing it.
Thanks Cindy ☺️🙏🏼
So nice to meet you...a fellow Canadian...thank you for the intro. Loving your channel and have subscribed.
Your video was just lovely! Really nice to get to know you better, thank you!
I love it! Thanks for sharing.
So lovely to get to you know you - we enjoy many of the same things....especially animals and tiny spaces! Take good care.
You too ☺️🙏🏼.
Adelina: Thanks for the info about your continuing
life saga;very informative. I hope you can get to
Vancouver Island;for the milder winters and the
outdoor fun! Victoria is very expensive,but up
the road around Ladysmith or Nanaimo you can
have the lifestyle you desire. There are mobile
parks on Jingle Pot Road in Nanaimo. Also up
Island around Comox I remember seeing some
parks. I'm partial to the Island as I grew up
around Campbell River and we had some great
times around Miracle Beach and many other
venues! You'll have to get your boys to join
you on your "westward trek!" Your Sophie,too!
Cheers-Sandy&Andy from Penticton (another
wonderful place!)
Thanks for those ideas! ☺️
Well loved the video, and 😉 your hair. We sold our land so guess no tiny house for us. NS hasn’t gotten on bandwagon much yet. But our house is 972 sq ft so not big. Lol great video.
Really enjoyed your video...thank you for sharing parts of your life. I admire you. 🌞
Snowing here too. Thanks for sharing & as always love Sophie.❤️
☺️
I live in Ontario Canada I have dual Canadian and Portuguese
Fabulous Adelina. I'm very proud of you.😻 (My mother came from another country, to the U.S. by herself...and my parents went to Calgary, where I was almost borm.) You inspire me for many different reasons, especially for taking the time to make your videos and share about yourself. I hope to extend myself more, too. My kitty says hi. Blessings for your week.🌷🌷🌷
Thanks 🙏🏼
@@myBIGtinyhouselife Hi! I'm headed out to donate blood...just a p.s...we have the same hair. Lol. 🤓 But, I've been struggling with it not behaving lately. What do you use on it? Thanks!
Thanks!! Your words came at a great time, since only moments ago I sent payment for a tiny Class C camper - my first, and well researched, but still nerve-wracking. Your calm and warm demeanor is a breath of fresh air, and always welcome.
Congratulations! ☺️
It was a pleasure to get to know you a little better! 😊 look forward to your next video.
Nice to know more about you Adelina. Thanks for sharing. I’m Enrico, my friends call me Rico, live in YYC too. I’ll be watching a lot of your videos.
Thanks Rico 😊
Even though it feels awkward talking about yourself, it makes the whole story way more interesting. Btw: I eat very little meat & I always feel sad for the animals that got slaughtered. I'm in a frame of mind to give it up again.
Thank you for your video...loved that you shared more about yourself... I tell my husband when he asks what/who am I watching...I say... " just watching my friend Adelina on RUclips"🤗👍
Awesome thanks 😊
Thank you for sharing. I’ve been wrestling with myself on next steps and could not see the RV life long term. Your tiny home on wheels has me glued to your videos and you are engaging, informative, and a pleasure to spend time with in this virtual contact . Stay healthy and thanks for talking to us!!!
Thanks so much 😊
Great to get to know more about you
Just discovered your channel and subscribed. Looking forward to learning more.
I loved this! Very interesting to get to know a little more about you and your lifestyle. 😊 also: when the time comes for a dog, I’d like to recommend a mini schnauzer! I’m in love with them and they do not shed at all! 🥰
Hi
I first found you when I started my research on tiny homes. I loved your taste and colors.
So happy to find you have a channel and I’ve gotten so many good tips.
I’ll keep tuning in and hope to try a recipe.
I’m so glad 😊
