    Let me know what other videos you would like to see. I love making productive days in the life as a mom, skincare routines, morning and evening routines, homeschool day in the life, motherhood and faith content. I also don't mind doing family travel vlogs, charlotte mason inspired homeschooling so let me know.

    You don’t need an ID card if your just going to get a drivers licence. They both serve the same purpose except the one lets u drive too. You guys are amazing getting so much done so quickly. I like the vibe in your family seems like you respect each other! Love it!

      Yea you are right. In fact I don’t think you’re even allowed to have both! Can you confirm?
      However most people, like us, don’t get the drivers license immediately. And the ID card was sooooo useful. We didn’t need to have our passports and COPR with us after we got it.

    A little tip on furnitures. Don’t go to the big stores and buy cheaply made furniture for a lot of money. Value Village, and other trif store have better quality for less. My parents got a very unique and handcrafted 4 pieces bedroom set for less than 1000.

    Very informative vlog. I thought a job offer was required before moving. Also, that vehicle is huge! Lol. In the first vlog when you guys picked it up at the airport, I was like WOAH!
    RE: the credit cards, they're a "necessary evil" in the US, CAN etc. because of this whole credit score system. I know people have them in the Caribbean but the credit score system isn't a big thing.

    • @lynnellb
      @lynnellb  Месяц назад

      There are pathways where having a job gets you in but that wasn’t the case for the pathway we chose.
      So right about the credit system: a necessary evil. But by God’s grace we will be using it to our advantage. lol

      lol some people are not aware, but it may also just be an Alberta law. Because it was not the same in New York we had to rent car seats then as you see in the travel to Africa vlog.
      It was also nice not having to pay to rent the car seats for over a week when we were going to buy our own in a few days anyways. PS: I had put the link to the government website but you tube deleted it. Just search occupant restraint laws Alberta and check the exemptions.
