Just be you. That’s why we love your channel! During these days, a loving family unit doing ordinary and, yes, extraordinary things is such a breath of fresh air. Keep on keeping on!
I just love you and your family ❤️
Soooo a couple years ago my husband, boys and I were riding bikes at the beach on 4th of July and when we saw you we stopped and my husband excitedly shouted "hey i know you guys!" then awkwardly rode off. We were laughing so dang hard and I almost peed my pants. We felt like total dorks and felt so socially awkward! We still laugh about it. Anywhooo, we dig you guys and love what you do and who you are :)
😆 🤣 😂 you should have stopped and said hi so we could be awkward together 😆
My husband has no filter & I love to stand back to watch the faces of people he is talking to for the first time. One second his brain thinks it & the next it comes out of his mouth. Some people didn't know what to do or say so they too just walked away. A few times he has been told that more people should say what they really mean. Just keep being your wonderful fantastic self. Life is too short to worry about what others think. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
As a RUclipsr and a veteran of Desert Storm! I would say to Eli, we (military) serve in those conflicts to guarantee they stay away from our shores and our people. Especially the children. Our military is the best in the world and they will ensure he rest east! God Bless!
Yes, your army is very strong. It is your missiles that kill the children in the hospital. you still ignore it. bury your head in the sand like an ostrich
Thank you for your service.
Thank you for your service.
It is so refreshing to hear that you two take the time to assure Eli that the conflict is not on US soil . Watching the news is so terrifying for adults and small children with their vivid imaginations can be scary.
You two are the best and I so love your podcast when you just chat. Thank you for allowing me to be privvy to your everyday thoughts and feelings.
God’s blessings.
I agree❤
Sad thing is it will be way sooner than most folks are ready for..
Don't sell yourselves short. What you provide is real, wholesome content. I am a 75 year old woman who loves your ongoing story. Your channel keeps me sane, in this crazy world!
Awww thank you 😊
I'm in the same place. I look forward to your next videos. 💜✝️🛐💜 Go with God.
I'm not sure who the person was, but your personality is refreshing. You're real & I love watching you and your family grow. You are truly blessed. Both of you bring so much truth to what you do. & I absolutely love your thoughts at the end of your Good Simple Living videos❤
My husband and I love to watch your channels and appreciate the real people you are. Its such a breath of fresh air in this world of fake and staged everything. Don't change for anyone!
Something I remind my children and Grandchildren of is, Fear is NOT of God and when we fear if we call out to God HE will shine His light into the darkness of the fear and it will go away. It is an amazing gift from our Lord.
Ex germ a phobe here. Used to bleach my house every morning at 4:30 am. Wouldn’t go to movies, because of lice. Wouldn’t go to restaurants because they didn’t sterilize their dishware,etc.
Thankfully, I overcame it 25 years ago. Not sure how I would have dealt with 2020. I have been extremely healthy for several years now, keeping a VERY strong immune system- which includes exposure. Best wishes for overcoming germophobia.
Exposure to bacteria and germs, which makes your system strong. Kids used to playing in dirt hardly ever got sick but those in a pristine environment always do.
I love who I are don't change please love watching you two have these in-depth talks . Wish more people where like u to honest with your opinions . Love how u both make each other smile it so refreshing.. love a old grandma in northern California...❤❤❤❤
I feel your pain with the directions not knowing east from west, we moved here in June and I still use Siri for almost everywhere I go! Love you and how you present yourselves and how you are raising your children. Keep up the the good work.
PLEASE never ever change!! Your so real-that's what we all appreciate so much about you! And what you guys do is SO refreshing in every way!!
I watch a few YT channels & the thing that attracts me most to a channel is the authenticity of the people who produce the channel. It’s actual real life not fabricated, acted version that TV produces. I also don’t expect to know intimate details nor any personal stuff that these channel producers don’t want to share but your real authentic personalities is what I want to know. Real connections with people is what’s missing in our modern tech world.👍
Now you know why Idaho was so appealing to you. It's who you are, it fits your character and personality. I think we gravitate towards environments that feel real and comfortable and secure to us. Deb and I live on an Island in Washington, maybe that says something about us. We've been away from our home of Idaho for 21 years now. At almost 70, we pray that our journey ends where we started. Your family is truly blessed and we so appreciate your kindness. ❤
❤️
I think that’s what I enjoy so much about your channel is that I can tell it’s genuine and not contrived. It’s not “big business” to you guys. It’s down home, good quality, day-to-day real life living. It also probably helps that we’re the same age, I turned 40 in May. But your content (for lack of a better word) is so relatable.
If you think about it, y’all live opposite of the main stream. You raise your children with careful intention. Y’all enjoy working and doing things together, as a couple & as a family. You do what you can to protect and cover your children and give them a quality upbringing. It’s just more of what this world needs, in my opinion. 😊💕
It’s so nice to know that your looking after the young RUclipsrs it’s not nice that there’s war in other countries we all see on the news conflicts around the world but it’s important to reassure our children that they are safe great topics guys as always much love from tenerife❤❤❤❤❤❤
Thank you for your podcast! It’s refreshing to see folks being open and honest about situations they face.
You are both so right. Sometimes, I feel like i'm from another planet🤦🏻♀️ I would love to sit and have a conversation with you both. To talk about life,family, and what is going on in the world today 🫶🏼God bless you and your beautiful family 🫂
I've stopped watching a lot of those highly produced channels with vast crews - it becomes apparent very quickly.. We love you just the way you are!! And hope you grow and succeed while keeping it genuine! Much love to you all, you're both amazing and rather brilliant actually with all you've accomplished! 🥰🥰🥰
I truly appreciate and look forward to these podcasts. Y'all are real and unanimated, and I truly treasure that. God bless you and yours.
i love both of your channels i would love to see more videos on your kimboucha making, garden work, canning stocking the pantry processing the rabbits for meat, your videos are awesome i love the building projects you guys live a great life i know no ones perfect. but the life you guys live is GOOD SIMPLE LIVING something at 54 i hope to someday get to live. thank you so much for sharing a bit of your beautiful real life
You folks have a huge Veteran community in your area, interviews of those folks and their families would be good. Atlanta History Center has 100s of RUclips videos of this. Veteran Nurses are also wonderful. Gerald.
Your real live is believable, never change. I can sit for hours and watch your channel. 💜
It's so good to hear a honest opinion on things ❤
OMGosh Melissa, I just adore you and your giggles...You really are an amazing woman.
🤗
My family and I live in the mountains of East TN and find that we just don’t really fit in. We are about the same age as you guys and homeschooled our kids, have similar views, etc. I feel like we just speak our minds and have gotten to a point where we are ourselves and just don’t hold back. People don’t always get or appreciate that. Keep on being you! ❤❤❤
Lori, I grew up on a farm in that area... It's tough to find understanding. Just give 'em time... Time heals all wounds; or wounds all heels... Sounds like you have the solution... Just be yourselves, and screw the rest of 'em. LOL
I prefer your channels over most, thank you for you sharing your life and your conversation with us. We, the world need more of this content .
It is so warm that you guys show videos that are informative to the interests of the alternative living a constructive of building family and homestyle living
My dad was at Pearl Harbor on a ship in the harbour. He grew up during the great depression. This colored him as my parent. We didn't have conversations about this, much to my regret. Only one conversation that I can recall, when my husband interviewed him for a college project. I am so grateful to have heard some of the conversation. War is awful on the innocent.
My grandmother always said “the worst they can say is no, and no ever killed anyone “ You got this!
There is a whole world of people out there that love what you’re doing. Please don’t change.
You2 are great! I would probably do the nervous laugh too Melissa if I met you and Jeremy! So good hearing about your trip and meeting others!
Great chat today, very informative😊 Love listening to you two❤️🇨🇦
Don't change anything you do. I like the way you do things and it's so fresh to see videos that are real and not scripted.
I'm a person without a filter too! I think that it's more original, more honest, more happy! Please keep being you, Melissa. You are a wonderful, beautiful, woman. You have a crazy wonderful family. Keep up the great work!❤❤❤
Thank you so much!!
Really enjoy these podcasts. Just be you, who cares about what others are doing, be and do what feels right to you. How can you story board when you just invite us in to see you living your day to day lives. A lot of what you share is how you humanely live your lives. That shows in how you reassure your children, include them, educate them. Your outreach to help others shows the depth of your humanitarian bent and your kindness. I would love to sit and have a chat with you two. I really enjoy you, your openness and honesty.
You make me think.
Your observation of how critical it is of your RUclips age, life experiences and adult maturity on how well you fit in at the conference was! Great your children can experience Texas, travel challenges and chance to “get away” from your bubble!
I love you guys! ❤ You just make my day! It is nice to watch like minded people who share the same beliefs and raise your kids in the same manner. I loved hearing about your awkward encounters. Lol Thank you for all you do for the kiddos and getting all the packages together. Can't wait for the live on Sat!
I mean this sincerely, y'all are the most blessed family I've ever seen, your life and children even your animals, your love and the love you give and how it all comes through to us, and Melissa, I've said this before, you are an amazing producer!
Love you guys, God bless you!
Thank you 😊 God bless 💓
My teachers told me when I left school at 16, “may your sarcasm blossom” , I can’t hide my filter either. Just be you, it’s not your problem of others don’t get you ❤️🇬🇧
It's great that your dad was around, Melissa to help explain things to Eli. I feel like I, and a good part of the population, could take some classes to relearn things I've forgotten to try and understand all the conflicts around world.... starting with the biblical and historical parts, with maps.
Glad you had a nice time in TX... but always great to get back home!
You are a breath of fresh air; it's one of my favourite RUclips channels. Just keep doing what you do.
Enjoy your channel so much! I try to watch every day on my lunch hour. Your kids are great, the two of you are doing a great job with them. You are doing a fantastic job!! Thank you for sharing your family. Take care and be safe.
Thank you so much!
Oh my goodness, I am so glad to hear there are other people out there that don't have a 'filter', I just think I am normal but get told that I have no filter, I like to tell the truth and like you Melisa, if I am happy you know it, if I am sad you know it. As far as I am concerned, having no filter just means you are an honest person and I am sure you are also the kindest person as well , love your UNCUT ❤
❤️
For what it's worth, I personally tend to follow youtubers that are just documenting their everyday lives - like you, it feels more authentic and a lot more relatable for me.
I watch folks because I and my family can relate in so many ways. From prior employment to how we are with family, friends, and strangers. You all are simply great people who chased and caught your dreams and that is admirable.
Hello from South Lebanon 🙋🏻🙋🏻 🇱🇧🇱🇧🇱🇧 love u guys . from a brother from the other side of the world living these conflicts since i was born , hope that you never take side in this on going war , both sides have their wrongs and rights , we wish and dream for a better world with peace and love , love u guys ♥️♥️🌹bless u all 🙏
Keep doing what you both are doing. Can't wait to see what is next. So glad I found you. I wish this was my life too. Too old and damaged now. I'm going to look for that pretty corn and grow it. Looking forward to your next PC and videos !!!
I’ve watched you from the beginning and love everything you do! Thank you for showing a loving family life!
Another Great pod cast... ( VID CAST ) I tend to think along the lines of Jeremy when talking to our kids about world events, so I understood and got what he was trying to say. My kids are now all in their 20's the youngest being 25 and in the Space Force, but when they were younger 8 and so forth I was more in line with Jeremys approach. The worlds a beautiful yet dangerous place and I wanted my kids to be prepared for it. I can see that you do the same so this is not a slight in anyway. As a Texan, I am glad y'all got to come down and check us out. Texas does have some mountains, just not like them beast in your backyard though. lol. El Paso TX has some beautiful mountains that I miss on a regular basis. I appreciate your realness and your down to earth values and approach to life. I cant stand fake kindness, and you all don't give off that vibe at all. I tend to be blunt as well do to these factors that I would rather respect you and be honest that be disrespectful and lie to you. That does not mean I have to be wicked or mean when doing so, and I feel you all tend to do the same. Here I am writing a book in your comments section.. My apologies. I wanted to to leave a link to the Selective Service ( shorturl.at/oqsxF ) for you to read, I know back in 2016 there was a ruling that removed the gender requirements to the draft, but the link will clear that all up. Again sorry for the very long reply... love ya guys, dont go changing, and keep doing it is what you do.
You guys always make me laugh and I love the way you all work together! I keep commenting that Melissa speaks my mind in her final words especially. I am a few years ahead of you in my homeschool journey (graduated 2 kids and 2 to go). I want to be more intentional with the time i have with them.
Also just a note about the Israel conflict. We as believers can always remember that biblical history and our future are all in the hands of God
Love that!
Glad you had a great time in Texas & love the way you deal with the kids about the war , especially Eli, what a smart young one. Great work on the toy drive & good luck!!!
last comment i promise i really appreciate the honesty between you two. really refreshing to see people being honest and real with out being mean or critical . Bravo!! ok ill leave you all alone now lol lol a subscriber and fan for life
Thank you!
Love your podcasts Melissa and Jeremy....stay in Gods word especially with the kids. It will really help with all that is happening in the world. We need not fear...God bless
Just continue to be your wonderful self Melissa! Believe it or not, people that we think are judging us are not even thinking about us one way or the other. I had to use that to get over my serious social anxiety. I laugh at all of you guy's jokes! None are duds to me, lol. I think all of your followers probably have the same sense of humor. It is very refreshing! As far as having kids and worrying about germs, I totally get it. It felt like my kids were always getting sick. One would throw up, then the next. The next week, someone had a cold. They kept me on my toes. As your kiddos grow older, especially growing up on a farm where they spend so much time outside, and taking care of the animals, they are busy building up a great immunity. You are wonderful parents and are doing a great job! It would be a problem if you weren't questioning how you were trying to explain to your children they are safe in the sometimes scary world. Love your channels and all you guys do! :) Looking forward to the live stream on Saturday! I'm hoping to see Jeremy riding Debby in the T-Rex costume, lol.
Your GSL Uncut is really interesting. Refreshing to see such candid interaction. The relationship you two have built as a couple is excellent and just could not be faked. Real and heart warming to see. Just the fact that you as a couple exist tells me that there is hope for men and women to build a life of joy together. I pray my three granddaughters are blessed with the wisdom to work at marriage as you two have. I know it is not easy and it really takes work. God grant you many years. May many learn from you and work at achieving the wisdom you both have. This was so interesting I had to watch it twice once on my TV and now on my computer. Peace be with you.
I find solace in watching your GSL podcasts and videos because of the way all of you are. It most definitely is my peaceful time to relax. Thank you so much for the content you post. You are a great family with so much heart. ❤️
Wow, thank you!
Don't let anyone rain on you. My Mother always said be kind to people which takes no effort but one has to expound energy to be rude. Your family is loved.❤❤
Im so glad you guys had a wonderful time on your vacation to Texas! I know the kids had an awesome time and you guys are such an wholesome family and just down to earth and because of that i know that you all can handle any situation that life throws your way with dignity and kindness to others even when there are people who can really be not so nice. I love watching Good Simple Living because of how just really down to earth your family is!! Thanks for your great programs!!!❤
Thank you so much!!
I really enjoy these conversations and topics, I’m way older than you guys, but it feels good to see the respect, the values and care ,concerns you all have!
Dear Melissa… I am just now watching this video, it’s November 3, and I want to reassure you that it’s OK to be you. I’m almost 63 years old and you pretty much described my personality my whole life, yes, it can be awkward For others 😂😂 and then it gets awkward for us. But trust me, God made you exactly the way He wanted you. Don’t question that. Celebrate your dry sense of humor and your honesty.
I love your authenticity! I like your life videos and they aren't made up and dramatized. I really like your podcasts too!
Thank you so much!
I just want to say that I always look forward to your podcast and your weekly videos on your other channel. We appreciate the love and respect you provide to your children. It is so refreshing! Y’all are funny, authentic and would totally scare you if we ever met! I’m also an introvert but would totally gush and give you a hug, from one motherly mom to another! 🤗 😂❤🙏
Also, we live just one hour south of Waco! Glad you enjoyed the Texas hospitality and endured the IH35 traffic between Dallas and Waco. My condolences 😂
Thanks for just being yourselves! ❤
Texas here! I’m so glad you went to Buckee’s and Waco! I’ll bet that made the trip worthwhile. Don’t feel bad about being called Mom! My daughter’s and son’s good friends always called me Mom. They still do to this day. I look at it as a matter of respect and admiration. They knew that I was a strict, but loving Mom. I was happy to have them over all of the time. That meant my kids stayed home most of the time. Y’all just be yourselves! Don’t worry about everyone else. You’d fit in better at the Annual Homesteader’s convention. I like that you make and edit your own videos. Those are my favorite kinds of YT channels and videos. Sending blessings and love to y’all 🙏🏼❤️
PS: we have mountains in both the West part and northeast part of Texas!
I get you guys! I’ve been hooked on Good Simple Living precisely because you’re not only so down to earth and easy to relate to, but here you are an amazing family doing extraordinary things that most of us wish we had the stamina and drive to do the things that you have accomplished. I realize more and more (as I hear you guys sharing your thoughts each week) just how much we agree on things and have similar worldviews (Biblical worldview more specifically) and perspectives which, by the way, makes me happy because you’re transparent, genuine, and real. In my home, we enjoy every Saturday because we get to watch your newest video.
No Milessa never make excuses for things you don't know or unaware of, whoever your speaking about, should always be kind. This shows his true character. I could never see either one of you being rude. Never apologize for others short coming. Your awesome, both of you. I would be excited to me you. Love from Texas grandma.❤❤
It is the difference between fiction and reality "TV". You are real. Don't change
I appreciated your discussion on awkward social moments. I have similar personality traits. I’m actually very outgoing when I need to be but also end up saying really cringy things. The good thing is we can laugh at ourselves afterwards.
Every child is different with how they process any or world events. The information given should fit the child with as much reality as possible. We can only shelter our children so much because at the end of the day reality is just outside our doors.
❤😊❤
I appreciate that you maintain a natural life approach to your videos. It gives a better view of what it may be like if we tried venturing out to build our own land up and live away from the grind of close living.
Yall are wonderful ppl..never be embarrassed for being kind!
You two are amazing. I do not think you “don’t fit in”. I would bet most if not all of your subs are here because you’re honest, sincere, and so very humble. In fact hearing you describe yourselves added words to my vocabulary of myself. Continue to always be you and be true. Whether on your main channel or this, think we all just appreciate knowing it’s the real you. I’d never approach either of you in public if I recognized you, but I’m fairly certain what we see is what we would get. Bless you both.
Hi,I just wanted to say thank you for these podcasts,I really really enjoy them so much....❤❤❤
Thanks GSL UNCUT. Love listening and watching your videos . Trying to get caught up since the death of my Mom from end stage Alzheimer’s. Mom would watch the Saturday videos with me.
My uncle, Ed Flanders, was a very famous actor in the 1970s and 1980s. He despised the fame and being approached by people. Sadly, he turned to alcohol to deal with that insecurity and was very withdrawn. Joan Rivers often spoke of how she shut down at a table of a few people, not knowing what to say. I remember watching Betty White on The Tonight Show when Joan Rivers was guest hosting. Betty spoke of her crush on my uncle. Your podcast today addressed your surprise to famous people being introverted. People always notice with me I'm a major introvert who functions as an extrovert for work purposes. (P.S. Melissa, I'm 53, it ain't all that bad! :)
Enjoyed your take on the conference and having conversations with children.
I had learned that I just have to be myself and really appreciate my quirks. I am not homeschooled but I was a theatre kid. I don't even really fit in the theatre world, but that is where I thrived, learned to be me and developed the extrovert of my personality. Not doing theatre right now, but I had a wonderful theatre career being an introvert. After performing a show, even after working all day now, I have to go home and regenerate and fill myself with things I like to do. Otherwise, I am so comfortable being the lone person sitting or standing in the corner.
I LOVE YOU GUYS because of your raw true footage.
You inspire family values, setting and reaching goals, virtue, truth and learning how to COGNITIVELY CHOOSING to leave bad things and FOCUS ON EVERYTHING THAT IS GOOD 🌈🌎😍
YOU GUYS ARE ENCOURAGING, INSPIRATIONAL AND YOUR LOVE HELPS OTHER PEOPLE LIKE MYSELF
CONQUER, PREVAIL, AND PURSUE GOOD IN ALL THE THINGS I DO IN LIFE
🛡️🛡️🛡️🛡️🛡️🛡️🛡️🛡️🛡️🛡️🛡️🛡️🛡️💎💎💎💎💎💎💎💎💎💎💎
THANKYOU FOR YOUR LOVE
You guys are unscripted and as real as it gets. Wished some of the other channels could be as down to earth and natural as you guys. You will always have some who thought so highly of themselves and superior to others. So sad because unfortunately they are the ones who go mental when their world crashes around them. Watching Zack interaction on GSL was awesome and you can tell he is an awesome guy. I have to agreed with Jeremy and how he explained it because in the day and age we live in nothing is impossible. Really enjoying your GSL UNCUT!
We are brand new to YT. We have a very similar story. My husband is a former police chief. We left the city life to build a life on the farm that has been in our family for over 100 years. We feel like we are starting all over with a totally different life at 40. We are living in a tiny home that we are slowly expanding. You all are such an inspiration and I'll be honest I would probably be really giggly introducing myself to you, but would absolutely love to meet you all someday. Thank you for such a real look at everything you do from the building, farm life to RUclips. Also I have a son that is obsessed with war history and WWIII.
Happy to hear your voices today!
Great pod cast. I admire you both. Your attitude towards life is awesome. Please do not change. I have followed you from the start of the farm. Your videoes are my fave. ❤️🇨🇦
Thank you so much!
I love you all!!! I so wish I had known you were coming to Dallas so we could have shared an awkward moment! 😂😂😂
I would have LOVED to have met you and your family. I ordered gem corn from you several years ago and you were a huge inspiration in my gardening journey.
I think you are amazing! ❤❤❤❤
We moved to the Dallas area in 1989 from the Chicago suburbs. We absolutely love it here. We love the mountains near Denver where our daughter lives, and I absolutely love the mountain view from your home. If you come to Dallas again, we'd love to take your family out for dinner.
We love your candid and genuine conversations. It is refreshing to hear something real and not scripted. I agree that life experiences are so important. I wish that there are more people like you and your ohana. Much aloha from California. Keep doing what you are doing. Mahalo Nui!!
I have enjoyed every podcast! I Love to listen to what you both have to say about everything. I feel I am getting to know you both in a deeper way & I am more impressed by each podcast. Thank you for both having moral values & being human! We Love you both just the way you are! 🙏🙏🙏Blessing’s
Thank you so much!
I love listening to both of you , my wife and I have five kids Ages 20 to 10 and also homeschool.
Our oldest daughter is getting married October 19th 2024
We have a poultry farm so we are also at home a lot as a family ,
I think the name of your channel is very creative and true 👍
You shouldn’t have to apologize for being real and yourself!!! That’s a blessing and more people should work at being the same. Never change ❤
I watch your videos from beginning to end. Y'all make me laugh, cry, appreciate your hard work and dedication. I love both your personalities. I completely understand the filters thing. I also laugh when you joke. Beautiful videos. Breath of fresh air!!
You two are so authentic and so beautiful in every way! If anyone has trouble with that, that is their problem. I love that you don't have a filter Melissa! You seem to be an empath, and I for one adore you. We live in a fake world with fake people, and at my age I decided to embrace my authenticity. I am real and that is what matters to me. I love that you are real! I wish more people were real.
The little story you told about someone sitting on your shoulder saying, NO, Don't approach, leave it alone. I know you were joking about that little scenario, but even with joking about it...I don't believe that was somebody you would even entertain listening too!
I believe God was saying, "Melissa go over there, for you will see that person who you thought was someone special, really isn't. I believe you put him on a pedestal and he isn't anything like what you thought. God would want you to know that so you become even better at discerning than you already are. Your viewers love you so much, and often wish they were more like you. Your viewers love you, and Jesus loves you just the beautiful way you are! ❤Besides, this was a moment in time you could seize the day, and get more guests on GSL Uncut! Carpe Dium, Melissa!
I like what you do and the and the way you do. It is what drew me to your channel. The way you are living and I always come away with new respect for family, pets and your way of life. And then there is Kenji !! I don't know what draws me to him.
I laughed at your spaghetti roads comment. I lived in Japan for a decade and I describe the roads as a big plate of spaghetti and you are trying to go from one meatball to another on one noodle. I love your GSL Uncut. It feels like I am sitting right there with you. Also enjoying your approach with Eli. This is why we need mom and dad in the family. Children need both approaches and sides. Soft and hard, strong and tender.
I love that!
I love that they all call you 'mom'. In my kids (ages 21-26) group all of the kids call me 'mom', they come to me with questions, ideas, etc. It takes a village and we should be proud that they see us as part of their village. How adults treat children or people that look up to them show a lot about how a person truly is at the core. I remember meeting our favorite Nascar driver and how he pushed my son out of the way, my son was 5. Totally made me mad, we stopped buying his merchandise and watching. While these conferences may be themed more to the younger generation, the great thing is that there isn't an age to RUclips. Almost all that I follow are around our age group, and even in my 40's I am going to try to start a channel just to document our move from a small 1.5 acre property in Southern California to a large 100 acre property in East Texas (we have rolling hills here) and how we are going to set everything up, even if its just our own family that watch it 🤣 Totally love both of you channels!!
Ah! I so love the pair of you! Melissa has a lovely laugh - and gets excited about things - I do too! Wish I had a little aeroplane so I could just fly over (from England - not far!) and say Hello. Your own personal mountains, yay! and all that fresh air! Lots of love and God bless all your lovely family!
You both could fit in anywhere . Your always so pleasant and nice to everybody and meet. Like I said if I were younger, my husband and I would do the same thing you did.
Mom...I got Norovirus on a trip overseas.....recently and it was horrible. I was sick for days, while teaching a class of professionals. I lost 30 lbs in two weeks. And was finally recovered as I flew home.
You guys are so great as opposed to most of the rest of what I see and like!! You guys are so interesting and your family is so wonderful so don’t ever even compare yourselves or put yourselves!!!!!
I love how enthusiastic you are. That is who you are ...
You’re such great people. Thanks for sharing your life with us.
