We got our first little snowstorm of the season, picked up a couple sleds, and embraced this BEAUTIFUL winter weather! At first, we were pretty worried that living in a tiny house with a toddler through an upstate New York winter would be too challenging, but it has turned out to be an incredible experience so far. The shipping containers are the perfect little cocoon, the mini splits are keeping us warm, and all that insulation we installed has paid of big time! There are a couple more daily chores, like cleaning the solar panels every time it snows, and we've had to move our water jugs inside because they keep freezing, but the snow also brings so much more light and energy into life, plus plenty of giggles racing down the hill with Max. If you have any techniques for making the most of winter weather with little kids, let me know in the comments below!
ALSO, our first-ever collection of guided meditations has LAUNCHED, and they are available on our website. The collection is called "Seasons of Change" and it's designed to help embrace season shifts while enjoying nature's natural cycles. There's some breathwork, some guided visualizations, and lots of soothing sounds to unwind from a long day.
Big love,
Dana, Lou, Max & Freja

I have been watching you guys for the last 4 years.. and I got so emotional when I realized how far you guys have come in life... and so much has changed in this time.. However one thing that has not changed is the peace I find in your videos...Please never stop making these videos❤️🥹
Awww I have to use the exact same emojis, that is exactly how I feel reading your comment ❤🥹 thank you so much for taking the time to write that, cant tell you how supported it makes us feel to read. Thanks for being a part of our journey these past years, and sending you the biggest hugs!!
It looks SO cozy with the lights! When you were talking about embracing the present it struck me how it transfers in your energy as joy to your surroundings. I wanted to say that as your joy becomes a gift to others.
Bianca, thank you so much, I wrote your message down in my notebook ❤ what a beautiful thought! Transferring energy into joy in our surroundings :) Big hugs from all of us!
The change in diet is really working! You seem happier and your skin is almost glowing with a tan!
The warmth of your simple home in the middle of a wintery landscape is so comforting. I have felt the same thing about old farmhouses out in the middle of open fields in the winter, where there are soft lights and food cooking when you come in from work or play. It's hard to fully describe but you know it when you're in it.
Have you guys considered putting up a wall mounted fold-down table in the kitchen? That way you have options b/t the floor and table. Could do folding chairs/highchair as well so as not to take up a bunch of space. Just a thought...🙂
Thank you! Yes we have considered it and it may be a project for the future, but right now we really enjoy it this way so it's not too high on our agenda yet :) wishing you wonderful Sunday ❤
You look SO GOOD!! Your eyes are sparkling and you seem to have more energy. So happy for you!
Can't fathom all the hard work it takes for Lou and you to put this life together. Yet you always capture it so elegantly!! Thank you for sharing your dreams come true. Wishing you safety and exploration on these snowy days.
Three decades of moving, doing, reaching for the next goal. Then I became a parent and there was simply “being”. More decades passed and I had to remind myself that being in the present was the very best place to be. Yoga, nature walks, choral singing - and perhaps next your guided meditations! - interesting how they all ask you to pay attention to breath.
Wondering in your lovely, but frequently muddy, area whether you can wash and dry clothes?
You have a beautiful home, with the spring and solar you really going to be self sustainable. The lights just make it more beautiful, Lou always pulls it out the bag!!! Little Max in his Teddy bear outfit is adorable. Love you teaching him to smell and taste Ingredients, how he just embraces it really shows how well you and Lou are raising him. Freya watching Lou on the roof shows how protective she is too. Thank you for sharing. Happy holidays. X
Aw thank you Rebena, I love all of those observations ❤ Happy holidays to you, too ❤
my favorite Sunday activity, is watching your vids
feels so special to be a part of your weekend :):)
lou your outfit in this episode is such a slay!!!!!!
Haha I will let Lou know, he will get a kick out of your comment! Thank you! Wishing you a wonderful Sunday ❤
I connect with you so much with those “is this real” feelings Dana! 🥰✨ It’s truly magical isn’t it!
What a winter wonderland! ❤ Beautiful. It's good to see you so happy, healthy and full of energy.
it is so cool to see you living out the life you'd previously been working towards. I love watching your journey
Dana, I love your cardigan! It’s both cute and cozy, which I find is tricky to combine the two. You look particularly beautiful because you’re so happy!
Look at the snow!😍😍
It is really magical, isn't it?? Hope you are having a magical day wherever you are, too! ❤
Your videos warm my heart. Such a beautiful beautiful family. Merry Christmas to you all. ❤
Aw that makes me so happy to read, thank you, Emma Morgan ❤ Merry Christmas to you, too!
That wall of drawers is amazing
Thank you for showing me my childhood Catskill mountains with beautiful beautiful snow . Thank you from South Florida
Aw that is so special, we are so happy to show you the Catskills dressed up in beautiful snow :) Best wishes down to you in different-but-just-as beautiful South Florida ❤
I bought the meditations as soon as I got the email and listened to one last night! Really amazing work and honestly thank you so much for putting them together. Wishing you so much joy this Holidays ❤️
ah rebeckah! cant explain how happy this makes me :) thank you for taking the time to let us know what you thought of them. its such a special feeling putting them out into the world. sending you all our love and happy holidays to you and your family too!!!
20:25 My heart is bursting here for you guys
i would say we are also in that state of questioning how you got to where you are when you are also in the opposite state of grief. that’s what i’m going through right now and i think that’s it’s sort of beautiful how alike they both are.
You look so lively now!!! Happy for you ♡
It is so beautiful on your land with the Winter Wonderland! Merry Christmas❤💚and a HAPPY NEW Year‼
Dana I can highly recommend attaching little ones boots to there ski pants ... For instance mitten string thru sleeves... As having boots or mittens come off in deep snow will happen and than they wont want to wear boots afraid they will get stuck and pull off.
Love watching your videos and you sharing with us. Thanks for the black garlic demo too!
Amazed how much snow you have up there! Here in western Mass we haven't had anything stick yet
Your family is such an inspiration to me, living vicariously through your videos and manifesting those homesteading dreams..
Happy holidays and best wishes! ☺️☺️
Such a pretty and peaceful video as usual ❄️💙
Your family is so beautiful. I can’t wait to buy the meditations!
I’m so glad you listened to your body. You have light in the eyes, your skin is so healthy and it looks like you’re really enjoying life these days. 🫶🏽
"This is the dream!" I am with you. My son is just a few months behind Max. Geaux Girl! From Austin, TX!
I have been living in a tiny house with my 6 year old daughter since August and we love it ! Send some snow to pa
Beautiful beautiful video... so interesting Dana, hearing your thoughts about where you are right now, the "is this real?" perspective, it's pretty profound. Max is so cute :D He's so funny, his face when he's smelling the food.... at one point he made an expression that was totally Lou in miniature! Looking forward to the meditations, will definitely buy! Have a great week guys! 🎄❤💚💙🌛
Haha no way, I will have to rewatch the cooking part and spot it ❤ And thank you so much for the wonderfully kind words! Wishing you a wonderful week, too!
@@WildWeRoam Two separate funny Max spots, the smelling part and this part, at 25 seconds, he made me think of Lou :D
Merry Christmas 🎄
Did Max say “taste it” ? Swear that’s what I heard - either way his voice is so sweet!!!! ❤️
Hi guys have the best Christmas ever. Xo
How did the black garlic turn out in the stew, Dana? I find they don’t give much flavour cooking as it’s best eaten raw/dehydrated (which actually interestingly is a fermentation process hence it tastes sweet) or make a black garlic butter and put it on … essentially everything. So tasty. You can actually easily make it yourself in a rice cooker (cheaper and you can do several heads the same time)! We did this one winter in Berlin on the terrace (do it outside or your house reeks of garlic!) and the nutritious value is incredible - wasn’t sick that winter, no cold, no runny nose, nothing.
Please get a table and chairs. Pretty please?
Love the christmas lights. Love your big pot! and the stew looks yummy. I don't understand why you're still eating on the floor though lol
Just my two cents, but reading the Bible is my "meditation", and I believe provides many more benefits than manmade meditations.
Hi! Thank you for your videos! I am really enioying them
❤❤❤ Feliz Navidad from Spain ⭐️☀️⭐️☀️⭐️☺️
Feliz Navidad from all of us to you, Yvonne ❤🎄
@@WildWeRoam ☺️☺️ muchas gracias 🙏
Love your channel. Been watching since van life and just amazed at everything you guys do!! Quick question: is there a reason your amazing dog doesn't get her own jacket during the winter months?
Merry Christmas from NC🙏🏽🎄🪅
Merry Christmas to you, too, Betty! From all of us ❤🎄
Do you have a bathroom in the container? I hope you don't have to walk all the way to the outhouse! Specially now in the winter.
We do have a little compost toilet up here containers :) You are right, it would be super chilly always trekking to the outhouse, haha! Hope you are having a nice Sunday :)
Thanks for continuing to share your journey, and thanks for the meditations. - Cheers
Que niño más guapo tenéis
Gracias :)
Venison stew is amazing 👌 great job you to.
It really is! Thank you :)
Lou...you are such a man of all skills are you going to make wooden toys for your son....?
What a wonderful idea! Thank you, Nancy ❤🎄
@@WildWeRoam In a time long gone...men knitted (fishing boats)they were the actual inventors of knitting (making the nets). Those long voyages..and because they had to carry all manor of things to repair the ship...and anything else, that would break, whittling all kinds of things to spend their time at sea.
That's interesting that Lou didnt originally want kids! What made him change his mind and how does he feel now with Max? You all look very happy, and I know you are blessed.
Great video. Enjoy you guys. BTW…when did you start eating meat? Moreover, where’ve I been? Don’t know how I missed this.
Also, Max in the kitchen with you!! So sweet!!❤😊
👍♥️
You know you could save so much energy by using ceramic radiators rather than air con units to heat your containers.
Hey!
Disclaimer: this is absolutely your life, and huge respect for showing it to us.
But, as I suppose is now a natural feeling that comes with engaging online and viewing things people have curated and put out into the world - I do find it difficult to see you both engage in intensely gendered ways, emphasising a desire to live off the land/coordinate a homestead style life, whilst putting out content that shows very specific ways of doing it. The Dana cooking versus Lou building narrative is quite pervasive at points. Though I personally struggle with the idea of consuming animal products, I appreciate everyone has to do what feels best to them. But, it also strikes as particularly complicated to understand, when the notion of locally sourced was mentioned in your “no longer vegan” vid, yet you use non-native spices, herbs etc for food, and also must travel to hardware stores etc, for anything you need for your home.
Basically, I appreciate we all exist in our own vacuum to an extent, and contrived as it is, must also engage in one too, unless we want to overwhelm ourselves with existential dread. But it’s strange to hear you justify eating animals via a narrative of eating and living off the land, but you’re on RUclips, creating a lifestyle that many people have historically NOT chosen, and instead, done so through no other alternative. Also, I know you never sought out to overly criticise veganism in the video mentioned above, and I’m sorry to hear you felt guilty transitioning to an omnivorous lifestyle. But as content creators, I think you need to perhaps take responsibility for certain reframes of why your vegan experience didn’t work for you, in the end - you ate a particular way of no oil/low fat, for instance, which could have played a huge part in your overall bodily experience.
Ultimately, incredibly nuanced stuff, and I appreciate what you share with us is a small part of your lives.
You consume animal products just like everyone else here.
There is no point in being so judgemental.
I honor your choice of diet. But I cannot watch meat eating.
That's funny.
