    When you clean your van up, it helps your healing and you feel better about your van. Joey looks like he is just chilling. He's such a sweet baby. Thank you for sharing. You and Joey, enjoy your journey and stay safe. 😊

    I like deep cleaning after a loss or major life change. I find it grounding and meditative.

    No beating up on yourself! You're grieving sweetheart so be kind to yourself and your poor battered heart ❤. I lost my Dad 8 years ago and every so often I still feel my metaphysical knees give way. 'Safe Travels' doesn't just mean physical destinations, but emotional ones too 🫂. The van is looking great, btw❤

    Well done! Before I wipe things down in my minivan, I blow all the dust and dirt out of it with my corded leaf blower 🙂. Hang in there Chantelle!

    Joey is so sweet with his little yarn toy. Deep cleaning is always good therapy after a big loss. I think it helps us reset so we can move forward. Take care of yourself and cute Joey.

    Keep living your best life Chantelle, always. My Dad left Earth in 2022. There are good days and bad days. Time is a healer, and I believe in the eventual reunion. That’s what gets me through the day. Much love from Oregon!

    Cleaning your home is good for the soul! I always feel rejuvenated when I’m done and ready to tackle more projects.
    I can relate to hair changes with different environments. My bangs especially get a mind of their own and stick out in weird directions, lol! I am in the process of cleaning out our trailer after 3 months on the road. 2 dogs and a cat, and 2 people make such a mess🤪
    Pups are so cute!!

  • @wyrdadventures
    @wyrdadventures 4 месяца назад +1

    No judgement from me girl! Try living with a shedding german shephard! Even vacuuming and wiping weekly doesn't keep up with the mess. Wyrd and I have moved into a camper van and are so in love with it!! Hope to see you again soon! ❤

    @jhemnes1 4 месяца назад +1

    No judging from here lol
    I just did the same thing and took everything out of my van and washed all the rugs and dog beds,(I have two doggies) , blankets and other bedding. After being in Quartzsite for three months and stopping along the way back I felt like I had an inch of sand and dirt. I vacuumed then wiped everything down. Now I'm in the process of loading everything back up.
    I thought I was the only one that forgot about their coffee sitting on the table😂

    Oh my goodness, I completely get it after being in my Van home for 4 weeks now. Cleaning is a constant chore. I have 3 dogs and we are always at the beach, river or hiking trails. That's a lot of wet paws. So good to see you with family and I am sending lots of loving vibes your way. 🐢🐩🐶🐕🌊🌺🌻☮️🌙💜✨

  • @jgb4unme1
    @jgb4unme1 4 месяца назад

    Good going on the cleaning. I need to mimic your productivity. I also recently lost a parent. My mom passed away on May 11th, the morning before Mothers Day. I seem to not really be able to get the things done that I need to accomplish….I’m much better at hiding in my room and dulling my brain with a video game or RUclips. I cared for her full time for almost 7 years…I feel like I don’t know what to do with myself.
    Joey is as cute as always!
    Enjoy your camping trip!

  • @normitaluvsmama

    First I love cleaning videos like this hahaha
    Secondly yes I live in AZ and we are approaching triple digits, I hate the summers here.
    Lastly, I admire you for living the dream....you have freedom and seems like so much happiness living on the road. 🙂
    I hope you're doing better ❤

    It's always difficult to lose someone you love, I lost my father due to a heart attack which made me think about my health so I lost weight, I watch my cholesterol and I do a lot of hiking. Health is extremely important and maintaining the right weight and eating healthy. Love your channel and Joey is super cute 🥰

  • @pursleydl2009
    @pursleydl2009 3 месяца назад

    I'm intrigued with your process. I have a 2006 Dodge Durango which is about as long as your Van as it's a 8 seat capacity. I removed the 2nd and 3rd rows but the interior is not as open as yours. But I see some of your shelving inside and at the back hatch door which gives me some ideas. Thank you for showing this in detail. AND I love Joey's little toy he's sleeping with. My dearly departed German Shepherd had a "Mr. Bill" toy as her favorite. I miss her so much.

  • @jasmin0930
    @jasmin0930 4 месяца назад +2

    @ChristineFraina-nj1vi 4 месяца назад

    Hey Chantelle. Just FYI - most auto insurance policies automatically include full glass coverage so you should be able to have that windshield replaced for free. And many companies will come right to your home to do the work.

    How are you and Joey doing? Do you miss the freedom of the road? How is your mom? I know, "so many questions. " I hope you can go on your camping trip and it is OK if you decide not to take us along. I really feel that maybe you and Joey need some alone time. Give yourself time to think and contemplate about what happens next. And what you want going forward. I don't think you have ever said, but do you have Brothers or sisters?

    • @MyBasicJourney
