Granny Pods | Downsizing | Tour My Nana Cottage | Tiny Houses

- Опубликовано: 17 ноя 2024
- Im taking you on a tour of my Granny Pod, or Nana Cottage. It is a perfect way to downsize over 60. A granny pod is a tiny home built, or placed, on the same property as the home of someone who will look after the occupant. Having their own living space gives the senior some privacy while the proximity to the caregiver makes it easier for them to monitor their loved one's health and safety. #granny pod. #tiny houses #mature lifestyle

I want some land where I would be allowed to put about six of these on it with full utilities and have older woman friends who are now alone all have a living space where we can look out for each other.
What a wonderful Idea. I wrote a blog about the women of Chernobyl. Some of them never left after the disaster. They have been taking care of one another for years. It’s really a beautiful sisterhood story. Thank you for sharing your thoughts. ❤️
Love this idea.♥️
I love this idea, since I have no family.
Baba Yaga style of life. Here in Europe, a lot of these ideas begin to exist !
Good luck. I wish you every success with this. Love from Australia 🇦🇺
You are so blessed to have a family who loves you. I love your little home.❤️👵🏻🐶
Pam, I am grateful on so many levels. ❤️
What a loving son you have to be so generous & thoughtful to want you so close in his life and litterally make room for you and your lifestyle (converting his recording studio into your excercise studio). A lot has changed in our American culture with family.
I sold my big house and used the equity as a downpayment for my daughter's house . I then had a tiny house on wheels built. It is parked on my daughter's property. I am a major part of my grandson's lives. I help with homeschooling, driving the boys to activities etc.
Now, That’s a great life in my opinion!!! That’s what is most important to me. Family and being a part of my grandchildren’s lives. Thank you for sharing your story and experience with tiny house living. ❤️
Oh Wow Margaret! My mother has never worked and she never would be this active in my son's lives. I had to put my children in daycare because of no family support and this crushed me. My youngest was only 15 months old at the time. My Mom will have the boys over for a weekend or overnight sometimes, but nothing like what you do. So special!
My sister homeschools her two grandsons teaching them about God and the Bible where you’re not gonna hear about it in school. Of course all the other curriculum too and the boys are far more advanced than those in public schools.
I wanted to do that but the area my son lives in does not allow "trailers" parked in the back yard. He has a nice large pond. It would have been nice to sit out on a patio and watch the ducks in the pond.
How wonderful!!!!!!!!
Just stumbled across this video and it reminded me of seeing this scenario played out years ago when I dated a woman whose grandmother lived in a small cottage on her parents property. There were actually three houses on the property: the parents big colonial home… The daughter’s cottage… And the grandmother’s cottage very close to hers. All three homes were close to each other but still there was lots of acreage and beautiful space to spread out. The shared family living experience was an eye-opener for me that I’ll never forget. It’s a wonderful concept as long as families love and respect each other, which this family did. There was such a sense of individual space, yet community as well. Made a huge impression on me!
Kevin, Thank you for sharing that experience with us today. It sounds like a perfect situation for loving families who want to be close, but have their space. ❤️
My husband and I just converted our 2 car garage into a little apartment for my mom and she loves it 😊 We wish we had more space, or land, but we're thankful we had the money to convert the garage 🤗
How wonderful in so many ways. ❤️
I have several friends who have moved by their families and it hasn’t been a happy experience,! They miss their friends who treat them better than their kids! You are fortunate that way. That your daughter-in-law is accepting of you being there! Glad it has worked out for you!
Every family has their own dynamics. Luckily ours works. Sorry to hear about your friends’ experience. ❤️
We have a big home and a few months ago, we asked our son, his wife, and baby daughter to move in with us. My son is renovating their home to sell. Our plan is to build a Grand Cottage in the back yard where we have about two acres. They will live in the big house and we are excited about it as they’re expecting another baby in June. It has been an adjustment but overall, it’s worked out well. I’m looking forward to building our cottage! I think it’s the best to live this way!
Kip, What a perfect solution for your family. Years ago I added an addition on my house to take care of my mother and now my son has done this for us. I can be near my grandchildren, yet still have an independent life. ❤️
Hi Mimi have you accomplished this? Hugs and GOD bless you all 🤗.
Oh Sandra that is so tranquil and serene. Everything looks so inviting. Very thoughtful of your son. Beautiful.
Evelyn, I am so grateful that he has done this for me. When I sold my NJ family home, I wondered how I was going to escape the summer Florida heat. It’s so nice to spend quality time with my son and family. ❤️
@dedetea, so are you never going to enjoy anywhere or anything because at at sometime, somewhere, someone may have suffered or had bad experiences?
Blessed to have a loving son or daughter.
I am grateful. It doesn’t work out that way, does it? ❤️
With money.
@@loiscassels8966 Exactly!
The property, granny pod, main house, animals, gardens, this is absolute paradise, I would love this now at 55, your living the dream, family life yet independence, the best of both worlds. Stunning just gorgeous, I have to say you have such a lovely, kind, soothing voice, so calming.
Thank you DG. I am so grateful my son has suggested and followed through on making us a cottage where we can stay in the summer and if need be, later on stay for care. I hope the latter is many years away! ❤️
55 your still a baby yourself :)
This is so beautiful! I can imagine the kids saying “let’s go to grandmas house” 😇♥️
LOL! I hope so. And I am going to be a grandma again in August!! ❤️
Yes like my granddaughter does ❤
Mrs. Sandra family is everything, no matters how big or small the place is; especially if family unity , love and respect is mutual among the family. It’s beneficial for the elderly to live with the family instead of leaving in a nursing home. I’m a an advocate of family living because I had a loving working parents and now that tiny house or granny’s, I think that We’ll have a family discussion with regards. Blessings.🙏
Family is the most important thing to me always. I love my family.❤️
You are so fortunate to have such a luxurious life. Your condo is beautiful & so is your cottage. A privilege not given to all! Be happy❤️
If my mom was still alive today she'd be 77 and I would be so blessed to have her near me like this. I pray that many will see this video and cherish the time they have with their mothers. Life is so beautiful when your loved ones are near. God bless you. 💖
I could not have expressed it better. Thank you. ❤️
I love this idea. As the parent ages and needs more assistance with driving, shopping, dr appointments, etc, they can get help from family and still maintain a level of privacy and independence.
It’s so true, David. More humane way to grow old. ❤️
What a lovely piece of paradise you are blessed with. I love your cottage. Your son's home and property look so peaceful and beautiful with so many areas to sit and enjoy nature. ❤
Shirley, As a parent, I am so happy for him. His father was killed when he was around 9 years old and he made this life for himself and his family. He is in an industry that has more failure than success. He knows he is a lucky one. Thank you so much. ❤️
You are really blessed to have a wonderful son so happy to have you close . And surrounded by so much nature!!! What an idillic life !!!
This is so cute. I’m in my thirty’s and my kids are still young but I have told them many times I want a granny pod in the future. This looks like a writer’s dream.
It is peaceful and inspirational in many creative ways. ❤️
Down sizing can be so difficult for some that have collected “things” that they can’t part with. I have no stove same appliances you have and a mother in law suite in my daughters house,separate entrance, deck, bedroom, attic for storage. I’m at peace knowing there won’t be days going through things and tossing, donating, it’s done. I have my space but the door to connect to their house opens morning, day and night with the faces of my children and grandchildren, moved from NY to KY, priceless.
I couldn’t have expressed it any better, Sandy!! Lucky you, lucky me to be able to spend time with those we love the most!! ❤️
separate entrance is the key 🔑
Thats the problem I'm having now. I am selling
My large home after my husband passed away 2 yrs. ago. After 58 yrs. Of marriage, we have so many collections that I find so hard to part with, especially christmas decorations.
Sounds like you have exactly what I have!! Independence of your own place, but close enough to still enjoy family.
I really enjoyed the tour. Such a relaxing atmosphere.
I really love being there in the summer for sure. ❤️
Thanks to sandra's son for being so great!! Made my year!!💖
Thank you so much! ❤️
Enjoyed your great video!! I live in a cabin within a few feet from my son and his wife and two young Grandsons. I'm 70, but I still work. So thankful I'm blessed to be near them. And for the same reasons. If, at some point, I need extra help, healthwise, they are right there. And still, I have my privacy. Thank you so much for sharing and I hope you're enjoying the beautiful place (Nashville, Tn) you live in!!!!!
Diana, isn’t it the perfect way to enjoy our families and be a part of their lives without losing our independence or interfering with theirs. Thank you for sharing your story with us. ❤️
Your family do this because you are a very special lady so they want you near them. You enjoy it. You deserve it! Xx
You are so very kind to say that. When our children grow up and leave the nest, we never know, do we? I think because my first husband lost his life when the children were so small, we were very close as a family. I’m happy that bond is still there. ❤️
My great-grandmother had 9 children and as she got older and my great-grandfather passed away, she had a "nana cottage" built on the property of each child in the early/mid fifties deep in the hills of Morgan County Kentucky. They were all very poor coal mining people and it wasn't much but it kept her close to her family. I went back to visit that area of my ancestors about 5 years ago and those buildings are still standing.
Sandy, What a wonderful story. I think through the years we have lost that feeling of gratitude for the nurturing our parents gave us. And the moral responsibility to give back. You have a wonderful heritage. How nice you could go back and retrace your roots. Thank you for letting us see that today. ❤️
@@lifewithsandrahart Thank you 😊
Lovely story and great for your mom that her family could do that and it must bring memories to visit and i would say a lovely place. But it seems most here are talking wealth like selling big house in expensive areas and having well off sons daughters building beautiful small homes for them so this vidoe is only really about the previliged. Sandra live in a big house in New Jersey but live in affluent south Beach Miami so not a struggling senior. i don't begrudge them just pointing out they are very lucky.
Your son’s place looks very peaceful. You’re so right, being near family is the best way to go when we don’t need to be alone. 💖
Truly is an oasis.
Oh my Sandra you are so blessed to have a loving son who wants you near the family.
Maria, I give thanks every day. ❤️
After living in a large house, now you have the best of both worlds for the next phase of your life. How beautiful!
I live in gratitude, believe me!❤️
This is so beautiful in so many ways and on so many heart levels beyond the beauty of your granny cottage.
Gwen, Thank you. You get it. I wasn’t sure anyone would. It’s much more. ❤️
Love your cottage. I'm so happy for you that you and your family are able to be close with each other. It warms my heart
That is so kind to say. Thank you, Melanie. ❤️
@@lifewithsandrahart You're so welcome and I absolutely love your attitude on life
Yes, yes, yes!! My husband and I just moved three months ago to a cottage on my daughter’s and son in law’s property. My husband has Parkinson’s, so I knew I would eventually need help. We love it!!! It’s 800 square feet. We were so nervous about whether we could fit everything in, but getting rid of so much stuff felt great! We live in Nashville as well! You’re right, being close to family is wonderful! Love your videos Sandra! 💕
Annie, How wonderful. I never thought I would ever be living ‘tiny’, but at this time in my life it’s perfect!! ❤️
You are so gorgeous. I find it so cool that you live that close to your family. I wish my other grandparents lived closer to me.
Thank you for that kind compliment. I remember how families stayed around in the area and the family unit was strong. Now, because children have to go where their careers take them, we don’t always have that family bond anymore. This concept is the best to help cure that problem.❤️
Thank you for sharing this part of your life Sandra! I love everything about the tour!
Thank you, Annie. Have a nice weekend. ❤️
I'm 23 and would loooove this. Looks so nice and peaceful ❤️
It’s so great and easy to clean and I have my privacy and can come and go SS I please and they, too. Most nights we have dinner together to talk about our days! ❤️
Everything you need and nothing you dont. Love it!
Well said!!! ❤️
This space your son made for you is so loving and special. I'm glad you have it.
I am forever grateful that he did this for me.❤️
@@lifewithsandrahart I'm sure he was so happy to do that for you.😀What does your son do as a musician? If you shared this before in a video I missed it. I was going to see if I could hear him online. You must feel so proud of him.
@@mariarohmer2374 I have done an interview with him. Check my playlists. Google Emerson Hart❤️
Found your channel lastnight and i have been binge watching. I am 29 years old almost entering 30 and i am so blessed to find this channel.
You are so full of wisdom 💖 And i love hearing it.
As i was watching this i wished i was able to do this with my mama who recently passed away. She would of love the idea. ☺️🌸
I am so sorry that you recently lost your mother. Even though I lost mine years ago I think about her every single day. You are so smart because you are never too young to think about how you want to live the rest of your life. Thank you again and I hope I will see you here often❤️
You're son's house and your granny pod is a dream! So gorgeous!!
Thank you so much.❤️
What a cosy cottage you have Sandra. I’m sure you feel very secure and at peace when you are there.
I do. I have missed my family for so many years because the children all moved away for their work. Now, I get to spend more time with them during the summer and it is just wonderful. ❤️
You are blessed to be close to your son and his family. Very blessed to be wanted and included. I just subscribed so hello 👋 from Sweet Home Alabama. Roll Tide❤️🏈
Hello and a very big southern welcome, Deborah! Thank you for subscribing and I’m so happy to have you along on this adventure! ❤️
This is so beautiful! Your son is a good man.
Cool way to live! ..... Not every one lives in a State ..... and simple luxury
that make all of these lovely ..... amenities .... so available! ... Bless you
doll! .....
I know that I’d so true. My cottage was an existing structure - a music recording studio, so it was easier for him to reconfigure into a nana cottage. ❤️
This is SO THE FUTURE. Downsizing allows our individual SOULS to ENJOY living in the MOMENT. I'm already arranging this for my own life Spread the word Sandra 😊😊😊
Good for you, Judith. You won’t regret it!!! ❤️
I myself am down sizing, they have there family, and house, am I have my little house All my Love and Blessings to Granny Pods..Amen. Barbie Lockett.
I am down sizing to live with my daughter.. it is hard to go threw, at first. But a wonderful way to live once settled..I am a writer to, and want my own place to live but be with my family, So I to am going to Granny Pod..
When I moved recently, I could not BELIEVE the amount of "stuff" I had!! I donated clothes and other extra items.
What a beautiful piece of heaven, Sandra. Love your cottage. It’s very cozy and peaceful. I think to have a granny pod is an excellent idea. At least both parties have their own space and privacy!!
Maria, It’s the perfect answer for grandmas. Near, but independent and our own spaces. ❤️
Your space is absolutely beautiful! Thanks for sharing and God Bless your son for honoring his mother, this is such a blessing! I believe that our elders live longer healthier lives when they are with family ❤️
Absolutely 💯 true
Lovely granny pod. Great idea. Cozy and cute.
Thank you, Laurel.
What a beautiful video! Love the captioning and your lifestyle. Thank you for sharing.
Thank you, Mary. ❤️
You are the sweetest. My Mom is now a granny who is also named Sandra. We live down the street from eachother but this is the dream.
Jessyka, Even having her down the street is really wonderful!!❤️
My Mom is 73 and still in her big house she had with Dad. She has expressed wanting to down size for a while now, but my older sister who lives out of state keeps telling her to stay in her big house since it's paid off (personally I feel my sister wants her to stay so there is a pool and extra space for her when she visits). I wish I had property like this to have a cottage for my Mom to reside in close to us. I've been through a divorce and in financial ruins because of it. My sons would love to have their Grandma so close. Something like your situation would be a dream at this point. I wish so many things, but bottom line is you have to have money to make a beautiful living situation like this possible. You are truly blessed and so is your son.
It sounds like your older sister is only thinking of herself. Yes. I am so fortunate my son has the means to do this for us. I am so grateful. In your situation having your mother close would be so helpful. I was a single parent for many years and I know that is true. ❤️
Your older sister isn't the boss. Have a sincere sit down, and see what your mom wants and needs.
Can you and your sons not move in with your Mom? X
Lovely space and kind family. You are Blessed
I never take it for granted, ever.. I am so blessed to have such wonderful children❤️
Sue here: I so love this vide, the idea, and your voice lol! How absolutely pefect. Thank you. If only more families did this ... it would bring comfort and benefit to both generations.
Ray, It is the way life used to be. Families staying close and taking care of one another. Sad that it no longer is the norm. ❤️
She’s just lovely! And her space divine.
Thank you, Rohini. ❤️
As it is said, “home is where the heart is.” As for your Nashville cottage, Cloris Leachman would say, “another pretty place to be.” I agree. 🙏🏼❤️👏
Yes. Exactly. You understand, Joyce. ❤️
A “granny pod” is a great idea! Love it!! I enjoy your channel very much. Thank you for sharing your family and life journey with us. ❤
Hello Sandra
Your cottage is absolutely stunning
Thank you for sharing it with us
And yes you are blessed to have wonderful caring loving Son and your Daughters
And you are so right having your own place
I too agree
I like my own independence
Sandra God bless you and Arthur
Blessing back to you, Mary. Independence at our age is especially important. I am grateful. ❤️
Thank You For Sharing This With Us. I Absolutely Adore Your Granny Pod & Your Voice Really Is Calming. Have A Blessed & Wonderful Wednesday Sweetie. ❤🙏🏼😘
Thank you, Pam.❤️
Your son's property is so beautiful, and the cottage is beautiful, too! It's lovely the way he's thought of everything you need so that you feel at home there. It must be so comforting to know you always have a place to stay where you are near your family. You are so blessed. ♥
Michelle, I am so thankful each and every day. Because of Covid I was not able to go down there this summer so I am missing my family in Nashville so much. I am hoping by next year I will be able to go down and spend time with them during the summer in 2021. Crossing my fingers❤️
How very nice that your son provided this nice Nana pod for you, and in such beautiful surroundings! 😍🤩😍🤩
I am grateful for sure, Guamby. ❤️
What a gorgeous property and cottage! Love you, love your son and his family for having you near.
Sue, I am grateful. You know children. One never knows after they make their own way, whether or not they will forget you. ❤️
@@lifewithsandrahart How could they ever forget wonderful You, Sandra? If they ever did, I would adopt you!
My son and I both sold our houses and bought a 3 story, 4,000 sq ft home. I live in the "basement" which is finished and opens to a lovely patio. My kitchen is a counter with a small sink, but, like you, I have a big convection toaster oven, an air fryer and the asian hot pot cook top, a microwave and even more electric cooking gadgets. My place is totally independent of my sons area. I even purchased myself a huge portable washer and electric dryer. Its great and the move gave my son and his family a lot more room. My place is 1,300 sq ft, and I only use half of it!! Lol. I have many health issues, so its good to have them near by.
LINDA,, how wonderful for all of you. What a great solution to keeping the family together❤️
What a lovely little place! So nice to be so close to your family, but have privacy too.
Laura, It has been the best. ❤️
You are so blessed to have a son who loves you 💕 love your tiny house ❤
I am so grateful. True
This is fantastic. I like small spaces, too - they’re restful and cozy.
Terri, That’s so true and also easy to care for. Not much housework involved and more time to enjoy life. ❤️
YOU ARE SO BLESSED TO HAVE A CARING SON.
AND YOU ARE BLESSED TO HAVE AN UNSELFISH DAUGHTER~IN~LAW!
GOD BLESS YOU!
Oh that is so true. My family was just here and my daughter-in-law is a beautiful soul.
How beautiful! Your son and daughters are lovely,just like you! I am very interested in the tiny home movement .
Barbara, I never would have thought of it if my son hadn’t suggested it. It is a perfect arrangement to allow me to be with them more. ❤️
You are a very lucky lady. What a wonderful way to live
I am so happy on many levels that my son did this for me. ❤️
Sandra, you are so Blessed and so Loved. ❤️ I absolutely love your Granny Pod. Thank you for sharing. A Granny Pod would be the answer to my prayers. In my case it would be called a “Mems Pod”. I like the sound of that!!
I like the sound of that, too, Lucie. I would live in a tent in their back year if it was the only way I could be near my grandchildren. 😊❤️
You are very blessed that your son is so loving and thoughtful.
Your cottage is beautiful and having all the beautiful outside area is wonderful! I love the chickens. It's so nice to have fresh eggs every day!
I feel so blessed that my son has done this for me. I don’t take it for granted even for one day❤️
Beautiful and so relaxing. I understand why you love it there.
Cindy, I get more rest there than any place. ❤️
Hi Sandra.WOW so beautiful and peaceful looking.its the perfect summer pad.i couldn’t think of anything more beautiful.The gardens are so beautiful.The chickens.dog & twin cats or so it seems.the butterflies 🦋.i really couldn’t dream of a better place .thank you so much for sharing this with us all,Have a lovely day. 🇬🇧 Uk.🌺🦋💕
It really is so restful there. I’m so grateful my son has thought of us for now and maybe for the future. Right now it is only summers. We live in Florida the rest of the time. ❤️
Thank you so much Sandra .I’m so very happy you get to spend the summers in this beautiful place.it really is a dream come true.but equally Florida sounds amazing to.i have never been. Maybe one day I will be blessed to get there.🇬🇧🌈💕
Awwwww what a charming lovely place Sandra!!! Beautiful!! Chickens and so much nature. I think I’d love a granny pod! I need more land so my mom could have one! Love it!!🥰
I know. I am so grateful. I brought my mother to live with me after my father died. but she would have loved a granny pod for herself. ❤️
What a beautiful place! I could live there full time. ⚘
I’m so happy for my son and his family! ❤️
What a beautiful and peaceful looking space.
I am so grateful for sure, Janet, to be able to spend time with my family. ❤️
Beatiful. I love it. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you for being here Patricia❤️
What a beautiful cottage! Looks very relaxing. Enjoy!
I’m so happy when I am there. ❤️
This is so lovely! You are blessed!,
I live in gratitude every day, Heather. Thank you. ❤️
What a beautiful cottage!!! So happy for the two of you!!! Totally agree about family it's nice to be close and yet have your own space.
Yes. I am so grateful my son has given us a place to be in case we need it. Right now it is just summers. ❤️
What a beautiful home your son has. I love your cottage.
Thank you so much!
Beautiful cottage looks so pretty and cosy, thank you for sharing your home Sandra.
Thank you, Lisa. ❤️
Lovely. My family is planning a new home too....God willing. My son in law has asked me if I would like to live in a tiny home on the property. I'm 73 now and it is time to simplify and down size. I'm looking forward to maintaining independence but being near my loved ones too. Thanks for sharing.
What a beautiful cottage in such a delightful setting . Thank you for showing us about . I’m more than ready for a cottage . Tiny houses are all the rage . I would like a tad more room than a tiny house offers 😊💞
I didn’t know whether I could live even temporarily in a small space, but I love it because of the long porch and my surroundings. ❤️
Life Over Sixty With Sandra so agree having outside space in a warm climate in particular is important . I’m a lover of porches and decks , use mine every day . 💞
I want to have a granny pod.I just talked with.my daughter about it on Thanksgiving!! They rent,but...it's a dream!
I hope it can happen for you. I haven’t been able to be in mine since last summer because of Covid. Hopefully, in June I will be able to be back there again.❤️
Beautiful ! Great to see this , as my daughter is expecting , & I plan to move to her town ( currently 3 hours away !) . Seeing this video just affirms for me that momentum for my new journey is building !
It is just a wonderful perk to be able to spend quality time with family! ❤️
You are so blessed, most people dont have that opportunity. Im truly happy for you.
I really do know that. The thing I’m most grateful for is that my children don’t mind having me around. I can’t take my son enough for providing a place for me, especially during the summer when it’s so hot here in Florida.
I was not able to go this year because of Covid but I’m hoping next year to be able to spend the summer in Nashville. ❤️
What an amazing life you have! The property is absolutely divine. You have a very lovely son I must say🤣 Many kids these days don't give a darn about their mother. I am sooo happy for you, I really am. Blessings 😇
Renee from Winchester, California
Renee, I know your are right. That’s why this is so special to us on many levels. Thank you. ❤️
That cottage is so adorable
Thank you. ❤️
Welcome to Nashville. I hit 60 last year, I'm divorced and live 6 min from my son and daughter-in-law. I would love this. I'm going to dream it into existence.
Dreams really do come true. Our’s did, why not yours. You are so lucky to live near your son and his family. Super lucky! ❤️
Sandra ~ What an absolutely dream property and life you lead ... 🌈🌄💖
I live in gratitude every day.
I love this,Sandra! I think I could get used to this easily ❣️ Thank you for sharing your cottage with us!
Thanks, Deborah. ❤️
Life Over Sixty With Sandra ❤️
How beautiful, I live small and my husband and I love it. We’re not retired but we wanted less to care for while we live out the rest of our lives. 💕 🏘 It’s such a modern way of living. Thank you for sharing
Thanks for sharing your story today. I do love it, too! Less work and more freedom. ❤️
My dad bought a one bedroom/one bath FEMA trailer and placed it in my backyard. I have 3 acres so we had room. He needs to be close since he has dementia.
That is so wonderful that he is close so that you can care for him, yet have your space. You are a good daughter, Tammie. ❤️
Wow,your sons house is huge! Love your home too.Love from England 🇬🇧
It is. I am so proud of my son because he has been blessed to use the talents that God gave him to provide his family and his mother ( when I am there) with a loving and wonderful environment. He takes nothing for granted and gives back as much as he can.to others. His father was killed when he was little, so he knows how important family is. Thank you for being here and love to you in England.❤️
Love everything about your granny pod. Gorgeous surroundings. TFS
I’m grateful to have a place to lay my head near my family. ❤️
I really enjoyed this video. So much food for thought.
Thank you!❤️
The people who disliked this video don't have parents or just have very very very sad souls.
I think you are right, Nosa. Thank you for expressing that. ❤️
Nona I don't dislike videos but I believe all situations are different , I honestly found your comment was very rude.
🌹This video is lovely for all those that appreciate it. It’s enlightening and really fun to ‘walk’ through Sandra’s life. Her perspective has helped me.
That sounds like such a wonderful option. I'm fairly new to your videos, and I enjoy listening to you., because you have such a calming voice. I thought you lived in a condo in fla. Not sure how long ago you moved in to the granny pod. Im in that position now, but none of my children have that kind of property. You have the best of both worlds. Now it makes me want one.
You are so pretty😊! I like the pod. Very simple and unique. Thanks for sharing
Thank you. ❤️
If I was fortunate enough to have some land on which to build a granny pod, I'd love it. Where I live one can barely afford a small slice of property if they are blessed. I'm grateful for what I do have and I think you have a beautiful granny pod and surroundings. You are blessed to have the best of both worlds, living in South Beach to Nashville.
I say that everyday. I never thought about such a thing until my son suggested turning his old studio into a place for me whenever I needed it. I was grateful just to be living in Florida, so this is a very special perk in my winter years. ❤️
How Ideal!!! That's the way to go! Your place is very cozy and beautiful!❤
Thank you
This sounds so much like a slice of heaven with a cool soundtrack. All of my life, I lived in situation where multiple generations lived close yet had their own space. Right now I blessed to have my Mom living in her own home right across the fence from my home. Guess I’m spoiled.
Boy, are you the lucky one!! I took care of my mother and I felt blessed to be able to do so. That’s what families are all about, isn’t it. Or at least that’s the perfect world. ❤️
@@lifewithsandrahart So very true and I came across your channel right on time as I will be turning 60 this coming May and have trying to adjust to my earlier than planned retirement (due to health issues).
Anyway, I will be subscribing to your channel because I saw so much useful and encouraging information. Thanks so much for your body of work.
I love your message and your lifestyle. It’s so good to see a retired person still sharing the gifts they learned through life and career. So glad I “found” your channel on You Tube!
Dawn, I couldn’t be happier that you ‘found’ me, too. Welcome and I hope I see and hear from you often!!❤️
