@@MONIENGLISHBD I don't think that is a god idea to reveal the exact location where they live. I know an other popular scandinavian youtuber who shared their location. And they now have a stalker who has threatened them and have broken into their house. So for their own safety and their animals and property, it's best they keep their location a secret.

I love to see this happy family. ❣️
The part where your son is with the dog was just beautiful!
Yes was thinking the same. What an amazing and patient dog. What breed is the dog?
Those drone shots with the frost in the trees are absolutely beautiful.
I've never seen such beautiful videos. You've accomplished something that so many people wish to achieve. Many congratulations. 🇺🇸❣️
I love watching Ivar explore, think and grow, he is such a joy!
Whenever I see that a new episode has arrived, it gladdens my heart and improves my day immeasurably. Keep doing what you do!
Thank you so much for your kind words 😊
OMG little Ivar shoveling snow! how cute! MADE MY DAY!
There’s something magical about being out in the snow. It gives me warmth and energy.
As always your video is ART, your village gathering was so beautiful. I love when Irva come up behind the older boy and he leads him ahead. So precious. Tuva, you are a natural beauty, inside and out. God bless each of you always!!!
I love your trust in the quiet and the warmth and beauty in this video. One of the highlights was the candle lighting ceremony at the graveyard and the rice pudding community dinner. All the best.Julefrid
You guys are the luckiest people living remotely and able to see the community. It’s horrid out here in the society. You are living the dream
Luck is enabled by VERY HARD WORK :):)
I’m starting the tradition of rice pudding at Christmas. In USA of Croatian descent but Sweden is present in our home at Christmas. Love to all. Thank you.
Hey 👋 greetings from another of same descent this time from the desert 🐪 of Gulf, with a us place to call our own.
This channel is therapy for me🙏🏽💕Thankyou for all you do and bless your sweet family💕💓🕯🙏🏽💖💕
GORGEOUS FILMOGRAPHY! Beautiful homestead, lovely family ties and gatherings and of course the 'star' of your lives...little man Ivar. How healthy he looks and how independent at not even two years old! I am an ol' widow watching and praying for your wonderful family. Each video brings me such 'Joy'. I thank you kindly for sharing your wealth with us = ABUNDANT Blessings! Ongoing health and God bless you and yours! :)
That is the CUTEST, SWEETEST dog in the whole world. When he jumps and want to be happy, need to encourage him and jump back, laugh back. It will make him more happy.
Thank you for taking us on a trip to the village. You talk about the local village, and everyone sounds very nice and the village is beautiful. Ivar is such a happy and energetic little guy. Well, they grow up and do what kids need to be doing. It's good to let him just be a child, running around with the animals and playing in the forest. It is fun to see how his growing up and so comfortable around the animals and how tolerant all of the animals are with him. It really does amaze me at how fearless he is around the sheep, and they seem to look out for him. We don't need him in front of the camera, but it is nice to see his new "farming" skills, and how children who grow up like this, have a wonderful and rich childhood, I don't thing there is much he is missing, and so much he is learning. I do look forward to your Christmas video. Tula's crafts are simple and beautiful, things all of us could do. Thank you for taking us along.
And so it begins, Ivar venturing off on his own. What a joy to see your family through your videos. My wife and I wish you a Merry Christmas to your family.
love you guys 🖤 and also your dog is so kind and patient!!
My dears !!!!You don't have to worry about the videos so much!!!The quality and authenticity of your life experience is unique!!!!I enjoy every moment of this episode !!!!I wish I could be there!!!!!
My mother's parents were Swedes who came from Finland near Narpes, coming to the USA in the 1890s separately as children. We have their old passports as "subjects of the Czar." Many many years ago we visited my mother's cousins in Finland and got to make hay and put it in the hay shed with them just like you have done in your videos, and had a nice visit (my mother had been exchanging letters with a cousin there for years at Christmas time and special occasions). Seems like my mother and her family used to use Swedish language around us kids when talking about things young children should not hear.
Thank you for your story ♡
So cute moments with Ivar helping his dad, Ivar with the dog, and Swedish Traditional time. Always a nice time, watching your videos. Have a lovely time. 🙏🧡🤍❄
I am learning that farmer’s always wish there was more time and energy, but life is rewarding for their soul
What glorious programmes you produce … a hard struggle for both of you …but h my you do not give up … the countryside is so lovely in the snow !
Ivar is showing us he will be of great help to you in the future … so cute to see him clearing the snow !
🙏☘️😘
I love your drone shots!! They are just fabulous 🤩👏🏻 Thank you for another beautiful episode! ❤️ Greetings from a cabin in Norway 🏡🌲❤️ -Sylvia 🙋🏼♀️ & Lobo 🐺
I too think your drone shots are just beautiful! Thank you for sharing. Merry Christmas from the USA.
I get so excited when a get your video.I love the idea of inviting the villagers to a celebration .
That sure must have been a lot of work.It was fun seeing the children playing together.
Wishing you and your family a blessed Christmas.
God bless.🙏🏻🇨🇦
I love to see the notification of a new Talasbuan video; it is like receiving a beautiful gift. Thanks for sharing. Take care of yourselves, there is no better way to spend time. Projects never end and if they did we would most likely create new ones. Have a blessed Holiday Season and a magical 2022.
Another Beautiful Video ! Thank you and Happy Holidays ! Best, Puebla, Mexico❤️
Lots of snow and cold in rural eastern Washington state USA too. This morning is 5°F (-15,°C). I got my 2yo grandson a small snow shovel to help outside. All, well loved, bright and healthy toddlers love to help us. Ivar is a delight.
Hello! I am happy to see you in good health! Your country is soo beautiful! Ivar is so sweet, I smile alone to see him growing up and to be so gentle with animals and the dog. I hope to see your Christmas video because I m sure I would be so nice and beautiful like always😍 if it's not, thanks to you to take the time to share your life with us and wish you a merry Christmas!
My moms dad parents ( MY GREAT GRANDPARENTS) were from Sweden, came to AMERICA,and lived in Elk point S.D. Shoberg was their name..Proud of having roots from Sweden..
Do you think they might have changed their name when they came to America? Shoberg doesn’t sound very swedish, maybe they changed it from the much more common Sjöberg? (sjö=lake, berg=mountain).
That gathering with the community ... That is so beautiful and amazing. So precious. Like everything you show in your videos that are works of art. The detail, the light... Pure beauty
It's very impressive that Ivar is always doing his best to help you both in your work. He will grow up to be a very useful man indeed!
I'm not sure what is my favorite part of this video. There are so many wonderful moments. If I had to pick one, it would be when Ivar was hugging the dog. So precious. That dog is so patient and calm. Wonderful. Happy Solstice Season, and I hope your winter continues to have some relaxing and beautiful moments. From the Rocky Mountains in Canada.
Tova please do more of you in your kitchen, and give us a whole house tour!
Hej! We love watching your videos, I love the idea of escaping from a city and living a lifestyle like yours. I know that it's not easy to live this way but it's no doubt far better for your mental and physical health if you aren't crammed into a city ❤
Sweden is a lovely country too!
My family loves your videos. Stop calm, beautiful and peaceful. Thank you
We lost 12 inches of snow hers in our state of Wisconsin/USA. Had four days of 40F then one day of 55F now back down to low 20f.
That be -10 for you I believe.
But I think it has alot to do with the Solar Minimum we are in. The magnetiphear is very off right now causing iratic high low weather pressure. It just a Solar cycle we are in.
It's hard on the farm animals though getting above freezing then freeze again. They handle the cold better then damp warm. Had a little calf with Pneumonia yesterday before of it.
Your videos are Beutiful. A being into another world that resembles close to what my homeland looks like. God's Blessings
Hello from Illinois. Crazy weather indeed!
Hello from southern Minnesota! We had the same. I enjoy winter and this warm up was such a let down.
The snowy winter landscape looks really like a fairytale. ❤ But I'm sure it's also not always easy with all the work. Thank you for sharing!
Life was never meant to be easy. Most humans are depressed. Most humans are out of touch with Nature. Most humans are lazy.
oh my gosh! the baby plows the snow! how time flies and he is so grown! he has his own tiny snow plow, it is adorable!
Nice and inspiring video that I am always eager to see... Have nice winter festivities with your family and friends and thank you to include us into your heavy schedule. Love you all ✨✨💖🎄✨✨
Sylvia here. Love your vlogs! My great grand parents were from Sweden and immigrated to the US. We keep some traditions they brought - which includes rice pudding and pickled herring at Christmas gatherings. I'm glad to now know the Swedish word for rice pudding. Thank you. As a child I remember running around like your son and hearing the elders conversing in Swedish at community events. I regret I picked up on very little of your beautiful language, really only remember a few nursery rhymes that imprinted through repetition. God bless!
I admire your tenacity for off grid homesteading. I equally admire your artistic eye for capturing the serenity and beauty of your life. I can only imagine the time you spend editing to create these videos! It takes a commitment most of us couldn't live up to in order to do both things well.
I am a poetic dreamer who needs to learn how to be down to earth as well.
Thank you for watering me with inspiration!!
Take care everyone!
Love from Nenne, a fellow youtuber in Sweden
Lycka till er!!
Loved the community meeting Ivar could be with other children and loved his interaction with the dog so sweet. He's a good little guy
Love your independence and your bravery your woman and your child, Beautiful little boy
Excited about a new Christmas episode! Last year’s greatly enhanced my Christmas spirit. This episode was nice and christmassy as well with the candle placing on the graves and the community dinner and fresh hay for chickens and sheep. Ivar shovelling snow. Excellent!
Hello Matthias and Tuva! I have enjoyed so much watching your channel. I also watch a channel called bushradical. Matthias, check out his blog, building an off grid homestead start to finish.. much different from what you are doing ,, but he has years of experience and says when he builds it’s still 90% just figuring it out. He’s been a cement worker for many years.. please know you are a very skilled artisan in your own right! You are doing it slowly and more difficult but it is the way you want to do it! Excellent work both of you. I am in the cold of western Canada so I understand the long winter.. we fear here for our beautiful country,, I hope we can still remain free to do all we love in life. Appreciate your little family. God Bless you there.
Thank you for your videos. It was so fun to see the "Poridge Party". Everything looked delicious and you can tell a good time was had by all. I loved how the older boy stopped and put a hand on your toddler son's back to guide him through the doorway. Such a sweet, gentle moment. ❤
Hey, I have been watching for 1 year, you are really doing mega vlogs, you are natural and you live in nature respectfully
I am so facinated by the dinner you attended! My family immigrated from Malmo in 1895-as a girl growing up in the 60s and 70s, we ate the same foods for our Christmas dinners with our extended family. To this day we still eat some of those foods: rice pudding and leftse especially.
Your channel have a beautiful tranquility and peaceful environment
We were at the right place this morning to see this right away!! So happy we were!! Just love your work and your videos make us so happy!! Thank you!! ❤️🤍🎄🤍❤️
Beautiful little boy,growing up so quickly. Winter blessings to you all🎄🐧❄👍🐾
Ivar is wearing so beautiful cap!) Suits to his round face perfectly, I like it so much.
Thank you guys, sreams of real harmony is constantly outpouring from your videos.
It’s almost sunrise here in my little corner of the world, I have kept our Yule fire burning throughout the night. Now I get to sit down with a warm cup of tea, wait for the sun and watch your new video. Happy Solstice!! 🏵❄️✌🏻🔥🌕
Sounds very good!
Thank you so very much for sharing these beautiful impressions of your life with us. So reassuring to watch and see your appreciation of real life, your humble and wise way of looking at hardships and beauty. Thank you, all the best to you and your precious little boy and Merry Christmas to you all!
It's lovely seeing Ivar loving on that dog.
Yours videos for me - its window to another reality, fulllife. thank you.
It’s amazing how much Ivar has grown! Seeing him help shovel the snow was just what I needed tonight. Thank you❤️🙏🏼🇺🇸
super happy to see another episode from talasbuan.
Beautyful idea the party, to bring joy to everyone, you look fantastic!
Happy christmas new year from italy
Another Beautiful video ! Happy Holidays ! Best from Puebla, Mexico ❤️
Ivar with dog is the most cute thing I've seen lately. ♥️♥️♥️
Happy Yuletide!
Graveyards are so wonderful places and specially beautiful with all the candles!
My Great Grandmother was a Finn Swede from the town of Juthbacka, north of Vassa. I know she spoke Swedish but I don't think anyone ever asked her if she spoke Finnish or not. Like you said, in the past, it would have been less common I guess.
Ivar is such a good little helper ❣️
Thank you for this heart warming video. Best wishes to you!
It’s so precious how Ivar loves on his doggy 💞
Talasbuan Good morn. Always nice seeing you guys.
Loving yr soft moments, I needed this with me coffee.🦋
I'm always waiting for your upload. Another stunning video and i love your family.🥂
So much warmth, simplicity and happiness in these small episodes of your off-grid life. They put a smile on my face every time I watch them. I hope you'll have a peaceful and beautiful Christmas time with your loved ones. Lots of love from Stockholm. ❤ God Jul och Gott Nytt År!
Wow i saw that you make sausages,with this ustensil,we are making in the same way,...it is good to see the little Ivar speaking a little,very nice winter moments,hugs for you all,you are in my heart😘😘😘❤️❤️❤️
Listening to Ivar say the same thing over and over and over reminds me of when our kids were little. It's funny the things you've forgotten about over the years that come flooding back when triggered! It seems to be something small children do globally 🤣. I Love IT! Thanks again for sharing your lives with us 💜
You guy's are so lucky to be surrounded by such beautiful countryside wherever you look, saying that I am sure that living where you do cannot be as perfect as it looks to those of us watching your video all the timer but I am certain the good things far outweigh the ''not so good'' things you have to overcome in living where you do, or is life generally happiness and smiles most of the time for all of you ? I do admire you for living where you do because life cannot be easy for you all but being surrounded by so much beauty most go a long towards making up for the few and far between things that are not so good. Finally I must say that the section starting around 1.18 where the drone is flying over a stream and filming as it goes along was absolutely amazing and I had to watch it many times, before moving on so full mark's'' to whoever thought of recording it ! Thank's so much for sharing the beauty of Sweden and your daily life with us, and please keep sharing more videos with us. Wishing the three of you a wonderful Christmas and a very happy new year.
Always just very interesting to follow along the traditions are always good to carry on and the filming was excellent. Merry Christmas 🤶🎅🎄🎄Stay safe cheers from Australia 🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺
Wow such beautiful scenery . It just ended too quickly . I could watch your videos for hours .
The dinner looked so enjoyable and delicious . You know the type of flatbed you showed at the dinner ? There’s a Finnish and Swedish community in my area here on the shores of Lake Erie in the USA and they make that bread . I can’t remember what they call it . What do you call it ?
Thanks! We call it "Tunnbröd", that is directly translated to thin bread :) It is baked in a special large oven with firewood.
Mathias !You and your beuatiful wife snd lovely Ivar are the most fantastic family in thr world!I wish you all the joy and happiness at Christmas and in the years to come! YOUR VIDEOS HAVE MADE MY LIFE WORTH LIVING!
your English has improved a lot as all your skills!May your dreams sll come true!All my love to the 3 of you and your family to allow you this wonderful life you are living!God bless you!!!xxxxx☘💚✌🇨🇮⭐🌈
I love seeing your son, he is so cute, hope to watch more on your next video
Beautiful traditions. Thank you for sharing!
I love learning new traditions of different countries and having a rice pudding morning for the community is so nice and visiting the graves of your loved ones we have that on November the 2nd it is called all souls day. I am not getting notification when you have put a new video up, so was so pleased to see 2 new videos, lucky me.
Very nice video!!! Thank you for all you're sharing, so nice to see a glimpse of your life 😊! Nice party for the community! I would love to be part of such party. 🥳
You are a beautiful little family. I love you guys. Greetings from Bartlesville, Oklahoma. USA
You endure some harsh weather, but you make it beautiful through your artistic videos. ❤
Merry Christmas Tova, Mathias and big boy Ivar. Maybe next year we will welcome the news of another baby so Ivar has a sibling. take care
I was so happy to see you posted a video. Was thinking about all of you last night and hoping you would get one out soon!
Seeing, hearing and watching you all at this time of year is the best gift of all. Thank you for sharing your lives and little Ivar with this solitary 79 year old.My daughter, Meghan and her husband, Mark are having their first child, a little girl at the beginning of May.She is a teacher and we are very concerned that, despite all safety precautions,that there are still risks being in touch with all the children and others.Take care, my friends across the ocean..
Thank you! There's risks with everything in life, but we're convinced there's no risk being in touch with each other ♡
Every video that I see, I'm there! Thanks🥰🥰👍
I was a little late in watching this episode but as usual you do not disapoint. Thank you for sharing a part of your lives with us, it is wonderful to see people getting together the way it should be and has been for generations. Tova your hair is growing and looking good, You really have a beautiful face. May you have a wonderful Christmas, it has been a pleasure getting to know you all through your videos. Here is hoping next year you will grow from strength to strength. Love from sunny South Africa.
This is so beautiful. Beautiful to see people gathering and smiling. Here in Canada the population is under mind control and this wouldn’t dare happen without having to show your vaccination papers and “wear a mask.”
Much love to your little family from mine. ❤️🎄❄️
It's unbelievable what is happening in Canada. Much love and support from England where dissent is growing x
Beautiful video. Thank you, Tova and Mathias xxx
I am delight in watching your beautiful family in your farm. Toddle along walk who is so cute a lovely your son.
Here is coming winter like your North Sweden, from Seoul South Korea.
In Hungary we light candles in the first of november, it is called the Day of dead people, or “all the sents” and the cemetries are in lihgts, we also think of our loved family members. This is very similar to your tradition.
Hello all the way from Arizona, USA. So beautiful to see the snow, we have snow here but three hours away from the city. We have to drive that far to get to our little cabin. Sometimes the snow makes the roads hard to get to our place so we don't get to see snow here in the city where it is cacti and desert. Very warm here now, like a hot summer for you in Sweden I would guess. Thank you so much for sharing your beautiful life and family. Very talented with your photography style. Have a Merry Christmas and very great New Year.
I’m excited to see your Christmas video !!!
❤️❤️❤️🎄 ….. and rice pudding to me is a sweet dessert made like with rice and a egg custard base with raisins and cinnamon and it’s baked and served warm . Yum
I almost die watching the baby/dog relationship... What a wonderful life. Thank you for sharing and inspiring.
Ivar is such a big boy, now! Beautiful gathering! 👍🇨🇦🌲🐿🐾🧦🌠📷🎅🎁🔥⭐
My family are primary English-speakers very casually learning German and Latin, mostly for fun. I enjoy listening to you guys speaking Swedish and especially the snippet where you talk about and show the word Tomtegröt (more language, please!). It's fascinating learning about holiday traditions in other parts of the world. :) God Jul, Merry Christmas!
We are happy to see you, rain, sleet, or snow!! Merry Christmas to our wonderful friends from Southern Oregon!🎄❤️
Such a hard working beautiful family.
Your Magical Christmas video 2021 was stunning, I was unable to comment on it. It does not go unnoticed the attention to detail down to every article of clothing, beautiful cinematography, and so on. I so appreciate that you share your beautiful land, family, and talent with us. May our Lord and Savior’s face shine upon you always.
Catching up on videos...I really enjoy seeing your holiday traditions~ love, from Connecticut.
