You guys are having one heck of a life!! From teaching us how to use a film camera in Germany (first vid I watched), to van life, boat life, and now homesteading. God bless y’all. Wishing you nothing but continued success, health, and happiness.
you are too kind, thank you so much!! means so much to hear you have been hanging out with us all these years :) wishing you nothing but the best as well, with any and all creative projects you have in store!!
I love how the little things like a fridge freezer is such a privilege, that totally humbled me. Congrats to Unwind, wishing you all the success in the world. You and Lou have built such a beautiful life, you totally deserve the smiles and happiness. Max is a carbon copy of his daddy. His little 'hi' is adorable ❤ love n hugs to you all. X
While you were talking about the vision on "work", I realised that for kids helping with all of those things is so much fun, we just somehow get more distant from this? So nice to do it mindfully and get to enjoy both doing it and having it done! Thank you show much for sharing your wisdom 🥰
I discovered your channel through the video about the springs and getting your water down the hill. You are such an awesome family. So hardworking and determined. I love your content so much.
welcome to our little corner of the internet :) thanks so much, that is really kind of you to say!! hope you are having an awesome start to your week, big hugs from us :)
Your stunningly inspiring life always reminds me to come back to the simple things and the joy of being outside ❤ Dana and Lou you truly have the system in full swing and the homestead is ready to flourish!
I probably missed it in earlier videos but how do you guys handle laundry? Love the channel and seeing a young couple learning so many practical skills!
This was such a fun, uplifting vlog to watch! Nice to follow both Lou and you in the office, working on Unwind. It reminds me of the Ody vlogs while you were writing the book. Also, how cute was Max’ Hiiii 😄
love this video. already feeling the joy and sense of ease that comes with unwind. SUCH an amazing creative expression that's already been such a meaningful addition to my days!!
thank you so much for this note kara! and for trying Unwind :) so special to think if it playing in your ears being part of your end of the day routine. sending all our love xx Dana
aww thank you amanda!! he really is turning into such a little chatter. it's so fun to hear his stories and now he's even singing songs gosh 2 years old is so fun! xx Dana
Have you considered making a pull up “drying rack style table top” across from the stove that drops onto the counter next to the sink so you can air dry your dishes on it? It looks like maybe the issue is you have nowhere to stack drying dishes… that way you can tuck it away in the morning/during the day… I can see it in my mind’s eye… not sure I have properly described it though… but it would make the kitchen even more functional for you Dana.
I got my Unwind link last night & I hope to try it this week. Your other meditations have helped me working with stress control. I just had a cardiac procedure a week ago so stress control is important. Besides your wonderful content, having been a professional videography for over 40 years, I know the amount of work you put into Unwind so it is worth every penny. Say HI! to Max for me! He's the new generation actually growing up on RUclips wow!
wow rick thank you for this note and for purchasing Unwind! would so appreciate your feedback once you give it a listen. so grateful to be part of your stress control plan :) big hugs, Dana
awwww that just fills my heart so much to read!!! definitely trying to enjoy every stage :) the unbelievably inspiring curiosity!! thank you :) big hugs xx
😂 or Lou, if you have chickens (roosters) I can't wait to see the coop build. Having chickens, eggs to hatch or eat, meat you grew, free pest control. All the things. Dana, thank you for your sweetness. I loved your explanation of rethinking chores. Relabelling yardwork to something fun example. ❤
haha yay we are so excited about chickens too :) thank you for your sweet words!! hope you have a wonderful week (maybe with some fun yardwork haha) much love from us!!
I just finished watching last weeks one and seems I am going to do a binge one while Stan is feeding the kittens. We hope that everything is well on your end and that you have a wonderful July. The homestead is growing beautifully, and we can't wait what is yet to come 😊 much love as always! Nat,Stan and the cats! Hi from sunny Bulgaria ☀️🌊🌿
aw always so nice to hear from you, Nat!! thank you ❤ sending lots of love your way too to the whole gang (please give the kittens lots of snuggles from us)!
Looking forward to the chicken coop. Chickens are very intelligent. They have been a companion to my friend's 10 year old. Thanks for the zoom party! Good to hear you talk about a variety of topics it got pretty deep. In real life Dana talks would be nice. I'm trying to think of ideas for my RUclips channel.
@@Leona_lin Yay it was so fun!! and how cool, that is definitely such an important topic, would resonate with a lot of people. where does your inspiration guide you :)
I've always felt if I get up before the kids then I am more grounded in the day. But when I get up after the kids I feel like I am chasing to catch up all day!
Hey Dana, it is so great to see you thriving and looking after yourself! Have you come across Human Design by any chance? I’ve found it help in so many ways with understanding and taking care of myself uniquely. I’m looking forward to buying unwind very soon, love to you and your beautiful family xxx
hi elisa!! thank you so much!! yes i looked into human design a few months ago. i think i was a manifesting generator but not completely sure. thanks for the reminder about that cool tool!! big hugs xx Dana
I really appreciate the balance you guys have found with including Max in your content but not making Max your content. My son is just a couple months younger than Max. It’s neat seeing the toddler stage he’s at versus my son. I just really enjoy your videos.
While I appreciate the helpfulness and power of guided meditation it is critical to be mindful in a quiet manner also. No human voices especially. I get the most grounded from ambient music with no lyrics or best yet the sounds of the natural world.
definitely! it is so interesting how some methods resonate more with one person than others. i also wonder if maybe the context of where we spend most of our time impacts this, too, like if someone who lives in a city would benefit from more stillness exercises? in any case it is so cool to be around in a time where there is such a variety to try them out :)
I've been very impressed with Freya's training, but the nonchalant way that Lou talks about her nearly catching a deer is quite disturbing. Freya needs to be trained to not harass the wildlife. You introduced a predator and so you need to be able to manage that without harming the ecosystem.

Max just melted my heart with his ‘Hi’ and his language skills rocketing! He’s beautiful and cheery and so clever.
aww thank you alexandra!! haha always fills my heart right up to hear that ❤
The little “man” speaks so well 👏Lovely boy and lovely parents 🥰🥰🇳🇴
So so relaxing and grounding to watch. Thank you both

aw thank you so much (as always!!!) for the kind and motivating words :) really always means so much and puts such a smile on my face. biggest hugs!!

So great to see everything grow in those beautiful summer days. Max grows most! ❣

I also live in central NY and I completely agree that 65 and sunny is glorious! I'll take 72 and partly cloudy too.
I feel like I've been waiting for that "Hiii" from Max since he first noticed the camera. Lovely video! Thanks for taking us with you.
Don't you just love that feeling of magic! I hope it is for y'all.
Your stunningly inspiring life always reminds me to come back to the simple things and the joy of being outside ❤ Dana and Lou you truly have the system in full swing and the homestead is ready to flourish!

Every time Lou talks about having water before coffee, I get such a self satisfied smirk 😂
This was such a fun, uplifting vlog to watch! Nice to follow both Lou and you in the office, working on Unwind. It reminds me of the Ody vlogs while you were writing the book. Also, how cute was Max’ Hiiii 😄
yay thank you so much, Barbara!! really glad to hear you liked it :) hope you are having a great start to your week, too!! big hugs from us

This is like the time of the van when you had a video every week. Very nice
Woah, Max is talking up a storm! No surprise there haha I love these friends!
aww thank you amanda!! he really is turning into such a little chatter. it's so fun to hear his stories and now he's even singing songs gosh 2 years old is so fun! xx Dana

I'd like to talk about mental health advocacy.

21:02 Such a happy sentiment to hear (also because I'm a consumer lol)
Are you guys going to ever paint the outside of those containers?
Hi Max! AAWW So cute!
Max is so articulate for his age
Hanging out with adults almost all the time. No babytalk gibberish. An only child is a very lucky child imo. So much undivided attention and love.
I've always felt if I get up before the kids then I am more grounded in the day. But when I get up after the kids I feel like I am chasing to catch up all day!
relaaaaatable!! :-D
You really are gorgeous Dana muah muah muah muah ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ maybe next week again lol
haha you are too kind! having me blush over here!! thank you :) big big hugs from us!!
love the new intro
thank you, Lexis!! :)
Interesting ... over 4K views, but only 400 likes? That's only 10%. Please, for analytics please "LIKE" this video!!!
aww you're too kind! sending all our love Sherry!
Hi 😍
❤❤❤
Oh my heart! Max’s “Hi!” was the best thing ever. I love seeing how you are all really thriving right now❤
thank you :) that is really sweet of you to say!! sending all our love xx

LOVE LOVE LOVE seeing Max saying HIIIIIIII
aww right?! so special!! he loves being part of the crew :)
I’m all confused, are you no longer following a vegan lifestyle?
I've been very impressed with Freya's training, but the nonchalant way that Lou talks about her nearly catching a deer is quite disturbing. Freya needs to be trained to not harass the wildlife. You introduced a predator and so you need to be able to manage that without harming the ecosystem.
Why would you listen to your own voice while cleaning? lol weird. I'm not into the whole idea of Unwind, but I hope it's successful for you two.
I think this channel isn't for you, go try some others please
❤❤❤❤❤
