Megan and Sloane are creating such a beautiful life for themselves! Giving up the city life and moving into a tiny house in the wilderness isn't easy, but wow, what an adventure they are having! We hope you enjoy this weeks episode! With Love, Bryce & Rasa
Of course! You made a great job as everytime! I just missed you in the middle of the house. Although, this two pretty girls gave us a beautiful explanation of their gorgeous home🤩🤩 ...hugs from México
One of the things I loved about this one was the child had a big role in giving a tour of her house which I loved seeing them be so involved. I love all the videos but this one hit me in the feels seeing her so excited to show off her room and the bathroom etc. oh and I noticed not everything was super duper spotless. Of course out in the mountains and snow you’ll see mud or dirt on something. It’s weird that that is something that makes me like this video.
I don't think you can live in snow country without a mudroom. When I see tiny houses, I always wonder where people put their boots and puffy coats and mittens. Megan will be REALLY happy with her mudroom when mud season comes in the spring. There's nothing like mud season in Vermont!
Every Norwegian home (pretty much all of the Scandinavian homes) have a muck room as our entry. We will change from outdoor shoes to slippers before going further inside (or just going in our socks in summer). It's a necessity with the weather we got. Always find it strange how US homes, tend to walk straight into the living room, and walk inside with their shoes on, not just because they are filthy with whatever you have stepped on outside, but also because it must make your feet rot...
My husband and I lived in our tiny home (in Newfoundland, cold snowy winters) for three months before deciding that we needed to build on a porch, and I'm sooo glad we did! It has our wood stove, lots of hooks for coats and room for wet boots, and even a little clothes line over the stove for drying wet hats and gloves. It made a world of difference to our space.
Brice/Rasa, I know I said I much prefer when you're on site... but your vision shines through! The person who helps you film in faraway places did understand the assignment!!! The video still very much feels like your overall style :) It's wonderful! And the mother's happiness is contagious ;) Way to go!
I truly admire her courage to venture. That property and the tiny house are wonderful. I loved the fact that the girl was allowed to interact and participate in the video. Children have a way to narrate their own stories, and she did that with us. Thank you Rasa and Bryce for keeping us in the loop about the tiny house movement. My respect to you both! 🙏
As a fellow single working mom of girls sick of seeing all the tiny house "couples" . I have been renting overpriced dangerously crappy rentals with so many rules now I'm homeless*due to owning a cat and gas leaks etc* in a hotel this is a huge inspiration. Been researching small house movement lately to have something of my own❤
You can do it!!! I'm rooting for you. I built a "hand built " cob ( clay soil, sand, straw, and water) house as a single mama of a 6 year old. The vision was strong and the world showed up to help! My girl is now a strong, powerful 29 year old who thanks me for our alternative life. Go for it, Mama!
I bought a cabin.. Much less expensive than a house, much bigger yard. It's the siza of an apartment, just no neighbors. I'm a 10 min drive from the closest town, and 20 min drive from the city.. Also just 20 min drive in another direction from most of my family. I have half the mortgage left (was supposed to finish it this year, paying 3/4 of my check each month, but the % has gone up, so decided to pay less, live better, and just pay it a little longer-term) I have done a lot on it, and are currently doing the last bits now, where it will be nearly perfect for me and my life.
What a fantastic way for that young lady to raise her daughter. Sloane is going to have such wonderful memories when she is grown. Kudos to Megan for doing this.
As soon as I started watching I told myself that her smile was proof that she is truly happy . It's wonderful that she won't have any regrets as far as her daughter is concerned being truly happy is worth all the money in the world
This Mom made an excellent decision!! Sometimes making a drastic change like selling your home and go tiny can be scary because of the unknowns but it is worth it in the end! ☺️ I rather deal with the wilderness than have to deal with traffic, coworkers, stress from work, not having time to spend with your children, and financial stress. I too am a Mom with one child and I am looking to do the same as this Mom, go tiny and have my own property! This Mom looks so happy and not stressed. Her daughter looks happy too. The daughter is adorable! You don't need much to be happy!! The location is absolutely beautiful!!! Thank you Bryce and Rasa!
Nature is fantastic to deal with. I don't mind having mud all around as long as I'm happy and contented too. Stress-free life, away from the toxic world.
I love the single mom tiny house tours. It's very inspiring when a mom downsizes and simplifies her life to reclaim quality time with her children. The moms and children always look so happy and proud 💗 of what they've achieved.
Wow watching this my mouth was open and I was stunned. What a great example of living big and bold in a tiny house. She’s so positive and has such determination and a big and bright spirit! It will be great to see the house again the future in the spring time!
They're such a happy family together and what a cosy tiny house it is😍 It reflects from their words that how happy they're to live tiny in a remote area! The location is no less than a winter wonderland and everything around seems Christmasy💚 Loved it!! The only thing that I missed in this video was Bryce's energetic presence.
Words cannot even express how I feel watching you and your daughter on this awesome journey. You are an inspiration, courageous, bold, brave and a brilliant woman to expose yourself and your daughter to living your possibilities. It will pay off in ways you can’t imagine…not just financially. The absolute best life has to offer to you and yours. Wow! Congratulations a million times over. Your words and reasoning are well prioritized and proves your commitment to your daughter and your own well-being. Thank you for sharing your beautiful home with us!
Hi Megan & Sloan. Your back yard looks a bit like our back yard in Central Lakes Region New Hampshire! We built a slightly larger farm cottage than your Tiny, in the woods, at the base of our family farm. You will love it !! Tiny houses can be so financially freeing. The world is your oyster! ~ Diane
Vermont is very beautiful in the winter and in the summer. Great scenery especially at winter time and a nice place to raise kids. Megan home is beautiful and Sloane is happy little girl, their having fun❤️❤️ She did a great job on her home…thanks for showing us Bryce and Rasa. Love it ❤️❤️
It's so great seeing all these people with ideas that resonates with you're own way of thinking. I also downsized way before finding this channel. And it was really the same ideas. Why build a home out of "the ideals of a home" rather than "functionality which fits your needs". why have an office desk when you can combine your desk and kitchen table? and why stop there? Why can't the countertop, office desk, and kitchen table be the same piece of wood? In my kitchen I have made a kitchen island on wheels with two portable induction cook tops. I have used it as a workbench, as an extra office table extension, as a kitchen. Even as an "arcade cabinet" during a party (joysticks and screen). I also started to ask myself: Why have a sofa when I hardly ever have more than one person over? I could just watch TV from a bed really. It's super comfortable and relaxing. Suburbs and ideals of the home is really built around excessive consumption and car use. It doesn't really solve any of our needs or problems. We just end up buying expensive houses with a lot of space, which we then feel obliged to fill with things. Often with unnecessary stuff (because it can't look empty). And due to this we borrow our expensive lifestyle with our "time" and "money": we end up with mortgage, We need to work extensively to cope with our upkeep, we need to sit in soul crushing morning traffic. It just drains the joy- and our precious time from living- and focusing on everything that is REALLY important in life. (Like the people you love, your passion etc.)
Welcome to Living Tiny Megan and Sloane!!! 😃👍🏽😍 We’ve been Living Tiny for 6 years. My hubby and I. We found that if you put R19 insulation under the house, with a small electric heater it stays nice and toasty during the snowy and freezing nights. We also invested in a small remote thermometer so we can see the temperature under there too. AND in the Tiny 😊👍🏽 Ours is 399 sq. ft. In the mountains of Colorado 🏞🌄🌌 We got some cold snaps -6, and it held heat for 3 days, only went down to 44. While OFF! I’m SO GLAD you’re two are doing this!!! It’s AMAZING! 😊👍🏽 ENJOY!!! 💝💝🤗🤗💜
Wow! such a cute tiny house, I love that front porch, it makes it so much easier to put all of your shoes and winter things and have a great space to store them. It is so great that they have their own land to explore and have so much fun while there. I have to admit that winters can be a challenge and it's good to see that they are learning how to adapt to the climate. And having neighbors that are there to help when needed is always a great thing. Thank you Bryce and Rasa for another wonderful video and I always look forward to your next one. Take care, sending love and hugs, bye for now.
God bless you for putting your daughter and your relationship before a job and large house. Our kids are only with us for such a short time. Well done.
What a charming lady and a beautiful lifestyle. I bought 5 acres in northern Canada. Building a writing cabin & gonna start a RUclips channel. This is awesome.
Vermont is MAGICAL! Loved it the first time my 'rubber feet' rolled over the state line after moving to New England (MA) about 30 years ago. It's where I planned to live at some point, so I will see what happens. I am SO HAPPY for the two of them to have found their 'place in the world' that makes them happy and trust they will continue to experience the MAGIC and Commaraderie that Vermonters have. Much LOVE & RESPECT to them and to you both. BTW... love the return of the long hair and beard - it is SO You, Bryce! (:
Absolutely loved that you let that beautiful, vivacious lady and her daughter speak about their home themselves. Her philosophy that if you don't try you won't know is spot on.
Really great story. What a wonderful, optimistic, and bubbly personality she has. And she's setting an amazing example for her daughter of being a strong, brave and independent person, and to take chances in life.
I love this video. This mother and daughter get me at my heart strings. I love that her daughter played a part in showing us their home, also sitting there with her mum throughout the interview, you don't really see that much. Another great share Bryce and Rasa. Thankyou🙏🏾
What a wonderful family. I live in the woods and can relate to everything that Megan mentions. We call the snow room a mud room though because when we get the Spring thaw, our dirt roads are mud.
The best lesson Megan teaches Sloane is Courage to face anything, it's a tough lifestyle to live in the woods and that too in the harsh winter, but oh girl Sloane is gonna grow up as an able woman who can do just about anything without the help of others. Wishing Megan and little Sloan the Very Best of Life.
Hi Bruce! I have a tiny cob house in western Ukraine 🇺🇦. It’s still safe here (20 km from Slovakian border). Now we need to stop our environment project, bc we need to save the country. I am as a blogger, took a part in inform protection. I thought about you many times before. I come you are guys often in Europe. And now I got idea, that you can tell my story to the world write now in this moment when it’s time to act! Just think about it. Thank you. Mark (my Ukrainian dream )
I love this. So true you can’t get that time back, but to make the change at 6 years old means you have so much quality time ahead of you. She’ll appreciate the choices you’ve made for yourself and her for years to come. Videos like this remind me of what’s really important.
Looks like Bryce didn't go in person to meet this lady and film her house. But the quality of the video and the way it is filmed is still done as usual. It is a new way of doing the interviews and if you think of it, it is better for the environment to export your way of doing the interviews than travelling to visit in person. The presentation was well done, the little girl did it well. I didn't notice the info about the utilities:water, power, sceptic tank, off grid, on grid, etc...These infos are important. This lady has done very well for herself and her daughter. She got a home for $50 000! Impressive. And she seems to own the land too!! Perfect. For a cold climate the entryway is a must.
Happy times. It's what families have lost in the world. You don't need huge homes, fancy expensive cars, working long hours to have material things that you don't have much time to enjoy. It's being together and raising a happy family full of love. They were both so full of joy with each other.❤
This is so beautiful and peaceful! People are feeling the draw back to nature and living a freer life. It's actually very brave for just the two of them out there alone. I would have to have my dogs and a weapon or two lol.
Many people living on wilderness acreages will claim that they were "drawn back to nature" (or as Megan puts it, "serenity" and "a peaceful environment"), but then they tear around the property on ATVs and snowmobiles, scaring away the wildlife that used to live there. : (
@@bartholomewcubbins9723 I get your point but what's the alternative really? The population is growing and living in a city working yourself into burnout makes people sick.
Megan and Sloane are just beaming with happiness! So happy for the both of them!! Beautiful property and beautiful home that both are working out perfectly for them and all their needs, providing quality time, making life long memories that will never be forgotten.. what more could any mother want or hope for. So very, very happy for them.
Been a faithful viewer to your Channel for a few years… so happens I live in southern Vermont! 😄. Imagine my surprise when I clicked on your new video and found this delightful young woman full of the joy of life on this new journey with her young daughter. Both enthused about all the new things to discover and learn about in their new home in a state that is new to them. I agree with her…I love Vermont (been here 20 years)…one big reason for that love is, as she said, the people here are so welcoming and helpful. Wishing she & her daughter all the very best of tiny house living….💝
That setting in winter Is incredible. Living in cities I rarely see just trees and snow. For some reason it feels nostalgic. I can't imagine living in that cozy setting
Awesome !! USA ! My part of the world. What an amazing woman, so full of spirit and willing to be adventurous. A used tiny home, interesting, wonder if there are others ? Great, uplifting video. Sloan is a natural on camera 😊❤️
Of course there are! Just google 'used tiny homes for sale' and have fun shopping. You can narrow it down by adding the state or states in the radius you'd be looking. Good luck!
I've watched your channel for years and this was my favourite! Megan is so upbeat and her understanding of what is important is fantastic!. Thanks Bryce and Rasa for finding these two jewel.
I don't think Megan will be sorry she did this. Slone with always remember the her mother spent with her. Megan is teaching her daughter some valuable information. I also liked the wallpaper in the bathroom. I am glad you are able to travel now
My goodness, Bryce - I don't know how you and Megan found each other but I'm so glad she got to tell us her story and show off what she's done for herself and her daughter. They are a cheerful and loving family, and their space is light, comfy, lived-in and efficient. I'd love to see what they get up to once the snow melts and they can perhaps use their land in different ways - as well as maybe add some guest space! This would be a good family to revisit in a year or three.
I loved everything about this video. As the old saying goes.. 'This is first day of the rest of your life.' Live life to it's fullest. These 2 sweet young ladies are doing just that. 💕💞💕💞💕💞💕💞💕
This is amazing & I am so happy to see your relationship with your daughter & how that is so treasured! The universe has blessed you both & we feel like we got to go along for the ride! Enjoy each and every moment!!!
What a beautiful, cozy home in gorgeous surroundings! Quality of life is so important and their's sounds lovely. I found myself smiling the whole time I was watching this!
I really enjoyed getting back out in the "World" with LBTH. It is very unlikely I will ever get to travel from NZ to Vermont so well done Megan & Sloane & thanks for the views of The Land of Styxhexenhammer.
Some of the episodes here are educational, practical, pragmatic and more. What I liked most about this one in particular is that it really made me smile. Thank you Megan and Sloane for sharing! (And well done Colby and Bryce.)
What a sweet mother and daughter! They make me want to buy a tiny house now! Their house is beautiful! I’m happy for them that they’re living their best life!
I’m so impressed by this single mom and daughter is the life they’ve made together. Mom is a very smart woman to be able to give this experience to her daughter, meanwhile having a life that isn’t costing her a lot of money to live. I really love the design of the house and the layout of the inside. Very impressed!! Well done Megan and Sloan!!👏🏻👏🏻😍😍💗💗⛄️⛄️❄️❄️❄️❄️
born and raised in vermont. traveled around the world a number of times. but vermont is my home and i will never trade it or leave it for anywhere else. one of the best places on earth. the nature. the people. the culture.
Megan you are such an inspiration and Sloane is a sweet girl. Your house and land are gorgeous and you and Sloane have a lovely personality and I wish you and Sloane all the best for the future xx
I agree with you. Our life is not only to pay mortgage. We are not a slave. We should spend more times with our loved ones. Live tiny and simply is the key
Love this episode! The cinematic is incredible. The woman was so lively I found myself grinning alongside her. The daughter was soo cute and lovely as well! Amazingly perfect! 10/10
This woman is brilliant! She took her profits and bought within her means and now is enjoying the benefits of property and no mortgage! In as much as people who’ve taken out loans make incredible homes, it’s always a nice surprise when someone uses the money they have in hand and is committed to that financial freedom! Brilliant!
Megan & Sloane, what a wonderful home. A magical place where you both can make memories together. You can't put a price on time spent with those you love... and despite the setbacks, you made it.
Great home set up. Simple, functional & cozy. Love that a mom & daughter are braving the wilds for a better life & having an awesome time doing it. Beautiful bond. 💜
Mum Megan and wee Sloane are both so articulate and enthusiastic that we can't help but be caught up in their most *excellent* adventure. Megan is ensuring that her precious daughter will have a lifelong love of nature...the land, which is pure gold. 🤩 What exciting (true life) stories Sloane will tell her own children some day! There's nothing like the voice of Experience, is there? Thank you Bryce and Rasa, for keeping it real -- and for continuing to do what you do best. Well appreciated and wonderful to see!!! 🥰🥰 Cheers from snowy Quebec, Canada! 🎆🎉
What a great video!! Kudos to the Mom for being so brave & following her heart!! She just looks so relaxed & happy!! You can tell she's in love with her beautiful daughter & life right now. How awesome ❤️☺️
This is so sweet! This Mom definitely has her priorities right especially when it comes to her daughter!!! I live in Connecticut so this was exciting to hear my state mention. It's a shame that Bryce & his wife could not have done this interview in person. Vermont is beautiful!
Ur such a great mother saying for ur daughter never to say she can't. And spemding.time showing she us valued more than money can buy. Ams also showing her the wonders of nature ur amazing
Congratulations Megan and Sloane. I used to summer on the back side of Magic Mountain in South Windham in the summers from 1959 - 1974. Beautiful view of the mountain. Beautiful place to live. Sweet school. Now in Montpelier, I miss Southern VT. My brother once saw a bobcat on Bromley, so keep your eyes peeled.
The view is very beautiful and serenity and for sure the air is clean knowing the water in the little drain is so clear. Please keep the forest intact so that the animals can also live happily.
Megan and Sloane are creating such a beautiful life for themselves! Giving up the city life and moving into a tiny house in the wilderness isn't easy, but wow, what an adventure they are having! We hope you enjoy this weeks episode! With Love, Bryce & Rasa
Of course! You made a great job as everytime! I just missed you in the middle of the house. Although, this two pretty girls gave us a beautiful explanation of their gorgeous home🤩🤩 ...hugs from México
So great to see you doing videos again!
@mike severino where are you in NH?
Props to ur cameraman!
Please What are the dimensions of the tiny house

Yes! It is her home as well as mom's so seeing Sloane involved in showing her home is wonderful.
Yes! I loved the child's introduction, especially when she introduced her stuffed friends too
Yay she doesn’t clean 🙄
I agree with you 💯
It was refreshing to see Sloane involved with the tour so cute, & refreshing to see. ✌❤
@@keiharu It was funny when she said the dog ate the hat. They are definitely enjoying all that tiny house living has to offer. Love the video.
You can literally see the joy and satisfaction in Megan's eyes everytime she's on camera. Another inspiring video. Well done Bryce & Rasa
You really can! Glad you enjoyed the video!
❤️
What is great is Sloane is enjoying living in a tiny house. I can see the genuine happiness in both of them
I love that little addition room. Such a helpful way to create a buffer from outdoor to indoor and the storage possibilities! So cool
I don't think you can live in snow country without a mudroom. When I see tiny houses, I always wonder where people put their boots and puffy coats and mittens. Megan will be REALLY happy with her mudroom when mud season comes in the spring. There's nothing like mud season in Vermont!
Yes, it's a really great idea and solution! Love it!

I'm so happy for her! They could probably use a small wood burner. Also, some heat tape for the water pipes will help. ♥️
This Mom made an excellent decision!! Sometimes making a drastic change like selling your home and go tiny can be scary because of the unknowns but it is worth it in the end! ☺️
I rather deal with the wilderness than have to deal with traffic, coworkers, stress from work, not having time to spend with your children, and financial stress.

Those eyes! What a lucky kid to grow up in nature and with such a positive mother! Thank you for sharing!

What a strong lady and what a great example she is for her daughter...may the Lord bless them and provide always for both of them.
Such a cute little girl and such a brave loving mom, you can see in their eyes how happy they are. Loved the tour of their tiny cosy house!

It's so great seeing all these people with ideas that resonates with you're own way of thinking. I also downsized way before finding this channel. And it was really the same ideas.

Suburbs and ideals of the home is really built around excessive consumption and car use. It doesn't really solve any of our needs or problems.

Welcome to Living Tiny Megan and Sloane!!! 😃👍🏽😍
We’ve been Living Tiny for 6 years. My hubby and I.
We found that if you put R19 insulation under the house, with a small electric heater it stays nice and toasty during the snowy and freezing nights.
We also invested in a small remote thermometer so we can see the temperature under there too.
AND in the Tiny 😊👍🏽
Ours is 399 sq. ft.
In the mountains of Colorado 🏞🌄🌌
We got some cold snaps -6,
and it held heat for 3 days, only went down to 44. While OFF!
I’m SO GLAD you’re two are doing this!!!
It’s AMAZING! 😊👍🏽
ENJOY!!! 💝💝🤗🤗💜

Vermont is MAGICAL! Loved it the first time my 'rubber feet' rolled over the state line after moving to New England (MA) about 30 years ago. It's where I planned to live at some point, so I will see what happens. I am SO HAPPY for the two of them to have found their 'place in the world' that makes them happy and trust they will continue to experience the MAGIC and Commaraderie that Vermonters have. Much LOVE & RESPECT to them and to you both. BTW... love the return of the long hair and beard - it is SO You, Bryce! (:
Wow, what an awesome life! When her daughter is all grown up, she can look back with so much love an gratitude and be proud of her mom ❤
Absolutely loved that you let that beautiful, vivacious lady and her daughter speak about their home themselves. Her philosophy that if you don't try you won't know is spot on.
They are so happy and adorable together... love hearing them talk about their house
Really great story. What a wonderful, optimistic, and bubbly personality she has. And she's setting an amazing example for her daughter of being a strong, brave and independent person, and to take chances in life.
I love this video. This mother and daughter get me at my heart strings. I love that her daughter played a part in showing us their home, also sitting there with her mum throughout the interview, you don't really see that much. Another great share Bryce and Rasa. Thankyou🙏🏾
What a wonderful family. I live in the woods and can relate to everything that Megan mentions. We call the snow room a mud room though because when we get the Spring thaw, our dirt roads are mud.
The best lesson Megan teaches Sloane is Courage to face anything, it's a tough lifestyle to live in the woods and that too in the harsh winter, but oh girl Sloane is gonna grow up as an able woman who can do just about anything without the help of others. Wishing Megan and little Sloan the Very Best of Life.
This is awesome. I like that the family led this episode. Sloane is a lovely precocious girl. Beautiful home and what an adventure getting set up😊
Hi Bruce! I have a tiny cob house in western Ukraine 🇺🇦. It’s still safe here (20 km from Slovakian border). Now we need to stop our environment project, bc we need to save the country. I am as a blogger, took a part in inform protection. I thought about you many times before.
I come you are guys often in Europe. And now I got idea, that you can tell my story to the world write now in this moment when it’s time to act! Just think about it. Thank you.
Mark (my Ukrainian dream )
Hey Mark. I’ve been watching what’s happening in Ukraine with a broken heart. Please email me and let’s chat. bryce@livingbiginatinyhouse.com
@@livingbig I did 💛
I love this. So true you can’t get that time back, but to make the change at 6 years old means you have so much quality time ahead of you. She’ll appreciate the choices you’ve made for yourself and her for years to come. Videos like this remind me of what’s really important.
I’m a city girl and I cannot imagine my life in the woods. It’s takes lots of courage to move into somewhere that secluded. Kudos to the mum.
Very uplifting. Megan needs her own channel! 👍🏻
Looks like Bryce didn't go in person to meet this lady and film her house. But the quality of the video and the way it is filmed is still done as usual. It is a new way of doing the interviews and if you think of it, it is better for the environment to export your way of doing the interviews than travelling to visit in person. The presentation was well done, the little girl did it well. I didn't notice the info about the utilities:water, power, sceptic tank, off grid, on grid, etc...These infos are important. This lady has done very well for herself and her daughter. She got a home for $50 000! Impressive. And she seems to own the land too!! Perfect. For a cold climate the entryway is a must.
Happy times. It's what families have lost in the world.
You don't need huge homes, fancy expensive cars, working long hours to have material things that you don't have much time to enjoy.
It's being together and raising a happy family full of love.
They were both so full of joy with each other.❤
This is so beautiful and peaceful! People are feeling the draw back to nature and living a freer life. It's actually very brave for just the two of them out there alone. I would have to have my dogs and a weapon or two lol.
Hahaha! I know that's right, Amanda! 😄
Many people living on wilderness acreages will claim that they were "drawn back to nature" (or as Megan puts it, "serenity" and "a peaceful environment"), but then they tear around the property on ATVs and snowmobiles, scaring away the wildlife that used to live there. : (
@@bartholomewcubbins9723 I get your point but what's the alternative really? The population is growing and living in a city working yourself into burnout makes people sick.
One of my favs. Love that she had enough money to get her own land and Tiny from her proceeds.
Megan and Sloane are just beaming with happiness! So happy for the both of them!! Beautiful property and beautiful home that both are working out perfectly for them and all their needs, providing quality time, making life long memories that will never be forgotten.. what more could any mother want or hope for. So very, very happy for them.
Been a faithful viewer to your Channel for a few years… so happens I live in southern Vermont! 😄. Imagine my surprise when I clicked on your new video and found this delightful young woman full of the joy of life on this new journey with her young daughter. Both enthused about all the new things to discover and learn about in their new home in a state that is new to them. I agree with her…I love Vermont (been here 20 years)…one big reason for that love is, as she said, the people here are so welcoming and helpful. Wishing she & her daughter all the very best of tiny house living….💝
That setting in winter Is incredible. Living in cities I rarely see just trees and snow. For some reason it feels nostalgic. I can't imagine living in that cozy setting
What a neat lady! Her daughter is obviously confident and happy. And to live on acreage in Vermont mortgage free??? WOW! A very special family!
Man. The spirit of this video. So much happiness and love. So happy for them. 💕
This was the best tour yet Megan is so inspiring, both her enthusiasm and the way she includes her daughter in every aspect of their life is amazing.
With every other tiny house we see in this channel it feels like "it's the best one" .
Awesome !! USA ! My part of the world. What an amazing woman, so full of spirit and willing to be adventurous. A used tiny home, interesting, wonder if there are others ? Great, uplifting video. Sloan is a natural on camera 😊❤️
Of course there are! Just google 'used tiny homes for sale' and have fun shopping. You can narrow it down by adding the state or states in the radius you'd be looking. Good luck!
I've watched your channel for years and this was my favourite! Megan is so upbeat and her understanding of what is important is fantastic!. Thanks Bryce and Rasa for finding these two jewel.
I don't think Megan will be sorry she did this. Slone with always remember the her mother spent with her. Megan is teaching her daughter some valuable information. I also liked the wallpaper in the bathroom. I am glad you are able to travel now
That cupboard desk combo is brilliant! Thank you, great story
the best part is when her kids also helps in the tour, so amazing .
What a wonderful, "break the mold" young woman! I think she has chosen a wonderful way of living for herself and her daughter. Kudos to you 💜
My goodness, Bryce - I don't know how you and Megan found each other but I'm so glad she got to tell us her story and show off what she's done for herself and her daughter. They are a cheerful and loving family, and their space is light, comfy, lived-in and efficient. I'd love to see what they get up to once the snow melts and they can perhaps use their land in different ways - as well as maybe add some guest space! This would be a good family to revisit in a year or three.
Hello Naomi
I loved everything about this video.
As the old saying goes..
'This is first day of the rest of your life.'
Live life to it's fullest.
These 2 sweet young ladies are doing just that.
💕💞💕💞💕💞💕💞💕
This woman is 👌 her smile is so warm and she is honest. Love her 🤗🌹
This is amazing & I am so happy to see your relationship with your daughter & how that is so treasured! The universe has blessed you both & we feel like we got to go along for the ride! Enjoy each and every moment!!!
What a beautiful, cozy home in gorgeous surroundings! Quality of life is so important and their's sounds lovely. I found myself smiling the whole time I was watching this!
Love the boot room with the cedar shakes and the red door! So fabulous and so charming. Thanks for sharing a tiny peek into your tiny home life! 🙂
I really enjoyed getting back out in the "World" with LBTH. It is very unlikely I will ever get to travel from NZ to Vermont so well done Megan & Sloane & thanks for the views of The Land of Styxhexenhammer.
Some of the episodes here are educational, practical, pragmatic and more. What I liked most about this one in particular is that it really made me smile. Thank you Megan and Sloane for sharing! (And well done Colby and Bryce.)
Pretty house.Bless anybody that would live where it's cold ❄️🥶 9 months out of the year.
What a sweet mother and daughter! They make me want to buy a tiny house now! Their house is beautiful! I’m happy for them that they’re living their best life!
Good video; props to the videographer Colby Thompson, as well as to the family giving us their tour!
The house is so beautiful and we loved her positive altitude! Such a wonderful family in such a beautiful place! Wishing them all the best!
I’m so impressed by this single mom and daughter is the life they’ve made together. Mom is a very smart woman to be able to give this experience to her daughter, meanwhile having a life that isn’t costing her a lot of money to live.
I really love the design of the house and the layout of the inside. Very impressed!! Well done Megan and Sloan!!👏🏻👏🏻😍😍💗💗⛄️⛄️❄️❄️❄️❄️
born and raised in vermont. traveled around the world a number of times. but vermont is my home and i will never trade it or leave it for anywhere else. one of the best places on earth. the nature. the people. the culture.
Megan you are such an inspiration and Sloane is a sweet girl. Your house and land are gorgeous and you and Sloane have a lovely personality and I wish you and Sloane all the best for the future xx
The energy and enthusiasm Megan exudes is beyond!! What an inspiration to live life and have a bloody go!!
Good for you Megan. You are clearly living your best life. Your home is lovely.
I agree with you. Our life is not only to pay mortgage. We are not a slave. We should spend more times with our loved ones. Live tiny and simply is the key
Love this episode! The cinematic is incredible. The woman was so lively I found myself grinning alongside her. The daughter was soo cute and lovely as well! Amazingly perfect! 10/10
This woman is brilliant! She took her profits and bought within her means and now is enjoying the benefits of property and no mortgage! In as much as people who’ve taken out loans make incredible homes, it’s always a nice surprise when someone uses the money they have in hand and is committed to that financial freedom! Brilliant!
A life of joy makes life worth living. Beautiful story.
Truly a wonderful mom who is making the best choices for her family ❤️
These two are my most favorite! I wish them a lifetime of happiness 😊!
They are so beautiful….Sloane was so cute helping describing things with her mom.
Megan & Sloane, what a wonderful home. A magical place where you both can make memories together. You can't put a price on time spent with those you love... and despite the setbacks, you made it.
Great home set up. Simple, functional & cozy. Love that a mom & daughter are braving the wilds for a better life & having an awesome time doing it. Beautiful bond. 💜
I love how the daughter is helping with the tour. So cute!
Mum Megan and wee Sloane are both so articulate and enthusiastic that we can't help but be caught up in their most *excellent* adventure. Megan is ensuring that her precious daughter will have a lifelong love of nature...the land, which is pure gold. 🤩
What exciting (true life) stories Sloane will tell her own children some day! There's nothing like the voice of Experience, is there?
Thank you Bryce and Rasa, for keeping it real -- and for continuing to do what you do best. Well appreciated and wonderful to see!!! 🥰🥰
Cheers from snowy Quebec, Canada! 🎆🎉
What a great video!! Kudos to the Mom for being so brave & following her heart!! She just looks so relaxed & happy!! You can tell she's in love with her beautiful daughter & life right now. How awesome ❤️☺️
This is so sweet! This Mom definitely has her priorities right especially when it comes to her daughter!!! I live in Connecticut so this was exciting to hear my state mention. It's a shame that Bryce & his wife could not have done this interview in person. Vermont is beautiful!
So smart to add that additional opening to the house. I loved this- this mom is fearless! ❤️
Ur such a great mother saying for ur daughter never to say she can't. And spemding.time showing she us valued more than money can buy. Ams also showing her the wonders of nature ur amazing
I think this is my favourite house so far, it's exactly how I would have decorated it myself, just beautiful 💞
Congratulations Megan and Sloane. I used to summer on the back side of Magic Mountain in South Windham in the summers from 1959 - 1974. Beautiful view of the mountain. Beautiful place to live. Sweet school. Now in Montpelier, I miss Southern VT. My brother once saw a bobcat on Bromley, so keep your eyes peeled.
I love how both of them have their own space... and what about this gorgeous nature! Speachless!
The view is very beautiful and serenity and for sure the air is clean knowing the water in the little drain is so clear. Please keep the forest intact so that the animals can also live happily.
BEING FROM NEW HAMPSHIRE , APPRECIATE THE AREA , ENJOY , POSITIVE ENERGY FOR YOUR FAMILY , LOVE THE HOUSE
