THANK YOU so much for watching, we are SO grateful for your support and kindness! Have a great weekend! - Dawn & Tom Here are the two things that we mentioned in the video: Clean Paleo One Pot Meals: amzn.to/2YvLMia Happy Salmon Game: amzn.to/3AnIY47

Your so-called boring life is what most people are striving for. It's good to see a real family doing real things and not some manufactured perfection none of us could ever hope to attain. Thank you for your honesty and keep on keepin' it real.

I lost it when Tom said, "I'm eating still!" and "I'm only one person!" Y'all are good, hard-working folks. So glad you share everything you do on KZfaq, everything from DITL to minimalism, and everything else. Thanks for doing what you do!

Dawn and Tom, you have a lot to be proud of your children are such good kids, well behaved, independent, and so adorable…

Oh I think this is your first DITL video or not? How fun Dawn! And Tom: Your life is so not boring as the rising amount of followers shows :-) You are my favourite KZfaqrs for a long time already. You are awesome!!!

Not boring. Just real and appreciated. Retired homeschool mom and you are doing a great job. 🌺

Get the one comfy top in different colours and throw them on with jeans. You look great in colours!

Loved how involved you are with your kids! And that you’ve raised them to help out with cooking etc. you’re an awesome Mom if no one has told you lately. 😉

Love the ordinary life! That's what really makes you both so relatable to so many. Kardashians most of us are NOT, so it's wonderful to see REAL life from REAL folks like the majority of us, even if you are a bit famous! (You are... just accept it!) One comment on your workbook: PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE have a good proofreader go over it!! I can't tell you how many "professional" materials I see in print and online that have errors - and it degrades the product. I worked in publishing for the phone company for 16 years so I get it - it would cost us if it was wrong! In our world of emojis and text "shorthand", a well-written, well-typed work seems to be a dying art. I proofread/edit on a weekly basis for folks, so I know "we" are still out there - so find a good one! A second set of eyes are always helpful, and they can point out things that seem clear to you, but makes no sense to someone coming in to read it that is new to the concept. I wish you much success with your workbook!

Y’all are doing a great job parenting and modeling for your children how a family should work together in love and respect of one another. So refreshing to see a “typical day” in the life of minimal living. Great job!!!

As a Canadian I would LOVE a digital version! I can take it to Staples to be spiral-bound for $7.

You’re such a light! I sometimes wish I knew you in person and had a friend like you. In the city life it’s hard to meet down to earth, and simple living kind of people that are prioritizing family time and their mental health at the same time. Your videos keep me motivated in my journey of simple living and walk with Christ. God bless you!

I’m interested in seeing you make meals and clean them up. Also more homeschooling content. How do you set your kids up to do their work independently and which subjects do you help with. I’m a stay at home, homeschool, foster mom, so it’s motivating to me to watch other people with similar routines. Dawn accomplished it, I can do it too 😁

I love how it feels like we're in your kitchen talking to you and Tom is at the island eating and tossing in his 2 cents. Feels very normal, and homey!

I feel like we need a shirt that says, “I’m only one person!”

I grew up in a family with 2 girls and 2 boys. When my brothers reached teens, our parents decided we each needed our own room. My dad started remodeling at the top -- the attic, which they took as their room -- and worked his way down. Took 12 years to remodel the whole house and IN EVERY SINGLE ROOM THERE IS SOMETHING UNFINISHED. No doors on the linen closet, missing baseboards, a carpet (remnant) that's not quite right. If your stairwell never gets painted, it just means your house is lived in!

This was so cute to see a peek into your daily life. You have such a great life on the farm there. Thank you for being normal and not over the top like so many people making us feel like our life is so boring or inadequate in some way. ❤️

I was killing myself laughing at Tom trying to take the chair with him during the game 🤣🤣🤣 That shed is quite the job!! I’m sure it will be great once it’s all done! Great job guys you have a lovely home 🥰

Tom needs a shirt printed with "I know nothing"

I worked in a bindery... plastic binding was one of my specific tasks. Black plastic binding is great for flexibility! The wire binding isn't always as easy to flip through.

After so many videos, I sometimes think you must be out of ideas. But no! You always somehow come up with something new and fun for all of us. Loved your day in the life ❤️. Thanks very much for sharing Tom and your sweet kids with us.

Just started watching and was amused to see that the alarm at 5am sounds just like my own alarm recently set for 5am. It gives me such hope that the day can hold such promise - Dawn's wonderful day proves it to be true and it inspires me to find ways to make my days wonderful too. It is a daily choice. I choose to accentuate the positive!

Oh my goodness, I totally had to laugh out loud at your tooth fairy sometimes forgetting. I thought that only happened at our house. Our poor tooth fairy had a hard time finding the tooth before and had to come back the next night to try again. 😂

Loved this Dawn!! So not boring! Would love to see a behind the scenes to making a video of yours, ie the creative process, making, editing etc! And would love to see a DITL video of your family when you've got a day off, that would be fun too. But also more of these. You work so hard and was lovely to see what a day looks like for you! Loved it!!!

I love your day! It’s good to see the “whole” life of you guys not just the minimal side (I love that too of course). If that makes sense haha. Tom did get a ton accomplished and I’m sure you did as well in your coffee shop trip

That was fun! It’s nice to see a normal life, mine is pretty normal but to others it may seem boring, I’m okay with that! I see a hardworking family raising them freely 🤗 Congrats to Gage and losing his first tooth 🦷💗 Best wishes on the book and love that barn/shed! My Dad always read to the family it is such a positive memory 💛 Thanks for sharing 💖

Oh this isn't boring to any of us moms. We love seeing what other families do behind closed doors. I especially loved seeing how school works during your day. Also, thank you for keeping it real and authentic. And yay...i love the all black wardrobe. Earrings, jewelery, pants and shoes can change an outfit.

Love you and your family so much! I’ve been binge watching your videos these past few weeks. You’re such an inspiration to me. God bless!!

Love when you have videos with your family and house projects. They are the BEST!

😄Laughed out loud so many times including it “promotes fighting?” and smiled through your kind glimpse into a day in your life! You guys are hardworking, genuine and your children so dear. Best wishes on workbook and shed.🌸🌿

Thanks for a peek into your day. Your family makes me smile. Excited for all of your successes-well deserved!

This is one of my favorite videos from you! You guys didn’t seem boring to me, it was a joy to see a loving and encouraging family!

You guys are so cool. Thank you all that you do for me. I am decluttering and having a blast. It has been fun watching you guys grow.

Thank you Dawn for all you do!! I appreciate your motivational and optimistic spirit. Have a wonderful day!

I just love how you are keeping it real. It makes me and my everyday life not seam so boring. Thank you for working so hard on the workbook! It sounds like it will be a great Christmas gift 🎁 😊

Loved this video!! I love watching "real life"..thank you for sharing your day! Great job on the building Tom!👍🏻👏🏻 Also..thank you Dawn for keeping it real..for your encouragement and transparency.😊 Looking forward to your workbook!🙌🏻 God bless you friends!❤

Good afternoon!🍂Thanks for working on this workbook and being real and an inspiration helping families. Looks like y'all have been working hard, thanks for sharing with all of us & God bless!💛🍂

Hi Dawn, I enjoyed this video. It was nice to see you keep it real and show how things are as is. It's real life and if your working on a project, not everything is going to be in its place or perfect. It was a pleasure to see what a regular day looks like with your family.

Super relatable!!! In this day and age we get so wrapped up in comparing our lives to what others are doing or what we think we are supposed to be doing that our mundane feels inadequate, but I enjoyed seeing the flow of your family’s day. I related to it a lot and it actually made me feel better about my own. Love you Dawn!

Love you guys and love your authenticity and personalities!! We're drawn to you guys because you're REAL!! So refreshing!! ❣️

I think there is a lot of value in being flexible each day and having just the top few things to get done, working anything else in around the edges. You don’t need any more of a “groove” than what you’ve got now, great job! 💕👍

Love all your videos Dawn!! You’ve helped me minimise our house dramatically! I have a few cupboards and my children’s wardrobes to go but I’m slowly getting there! Thank you!

This was so good! You guys already feel like family and this just made me feel a little closer to you, you have a beautiful, hard working family full of love. ❤

I really enjoyed this video and would love to see more like it. You are both such an inspiration and seem such a real happy family. Thank you for sharing your life with us 💕

I love how your coffee shop has a fireplace! So cozy. Also I just got a black crewneck long sleeve from Banana Republic on clearance and I love it! I think I going to try your black wardrobe. It's simple 😌

I'm impressed you have a coffee shop open at that time! And that you just embrace such an early start. And your kids are so well raised. The list goes on Dawn, you really do seem to make the most of your day (I've paused halfway to get ready for work!) X

I have watched this video twice now and saved it! What a beautiful example of a family united and happy living in the everyday. Beautiful. God bless you guys!

This was not boring at all! Love learning about you and your families life and it’s always fun to see what people are up to in their daily lives makes it more real and personal ☺️💕

This was such a fun video to watch, you should do more of these I love watching the whole family, and seeing all the updates. But I do understand that privacy is important too with your family as well.

I got an under-the-bed bin for our youngest son to put the kinetic sand into, and it keeps him quiet & creatively occupied early mornings when it’s too early to really get up! 🙌🏻

This was awesome! Tell Tom that you have an incredible life and we are so thankful you share it with us!

Loved to hear you are still homeschooling! I homeschooled for 17 years and even though it was time consuming it was totally worth it! By the time my kids hit 4th grade they were pretty much homeschooling themselves, I was only checking up on them to make sure work was done. 👍👍 for you. Shed looks great 👍👍 for Tom.

Why does Maggie look so much like Dianna? Lol! Every time I see Dianna is her. Also what a beauty Adeline is! Love the sand NOT making a mess. And Tom in his element-perfect video!

I enjoyed this...always good to see others "normal". Love your family! 💝

Thank you for doing a DITL video! I just love your family and how you are raising your kids!!! This was not a boring video, it was nice to see your normal life!

Y'all are doing great! I know you've probably heard this a million times, but time does pass quickly, so the time you're spending with your kids now will not be regretted. Our home schooled older 2 are now in college (one from home, the other in a dorm), youngest home schooler is a 9th grader, and we are all still very close. Get help wherever you can- it's a great opportunity when other family members can step in and help as your mom is with math. Apples to Apples and Rummikub are our faves! Thank y'all so much for sharing.

Awesome tagging along, Tom is a hard working guy you guys seem great together!

I LOVED this video! You and Tom are adorable together!! I love the updates on his projects, I love his banter with you, I love the kiddos, I love the different opinions you both have..... Sooo fun!!!

I watch you when I am down. You lift my spirit. Tnxxx

Will you do a homeschool video soon? I love how relaxed your day is! Not hours and hours of book work. 💚

That Pothos for the bathroom was a great deal as it looks really healthy! That plant does well even if you ignore it for a long time so congrats on buying a real plant! :) I loved to see your family's DITL. Adeline's side looks crack me up.

Thank you so much for sharing you everyday real moments with us. I admire your family’s ways.

Building is looking awesome. Stay here is fun. Game looked like so much fun. Happy & looking forward to the book.

Love this day in the life. As an over thinker, can't wait for work book ♥

Getting closer and closer to 500K subs, Dawn & Tom ! How exciting !! PS I can’t wait to but your work book !

This is one of my favorite videos you’ve ever posted. I concur with others; your life isn’t boring, it’s admirable, and I smiled throughout the whole documentation!

Hi Dawn. I really enjoyed this day in your life! Thanks so much for sharing. And you wear that black as much as you want, who cares what others think! Love ya, Cindy 🌻💗

Oh I think I just answered my own question! Lol ! I think it may be all the happiness you have in your life! From ur marriage to ur children to ur extended family ur home and farm ur own business ! And a twin sister! Xo I love you Dawn and Tom and kids! Ty all kudos for putting up with sharing ur mom and dad with us lol xo

I love watching you guys! You are doing a fantastic job at everything you do, especially raising your kiddos. They are going to be awesome adults. 👏🏼 👏🏼

This was nice to see your day in life. Thank you for sharing. Do it from time to time because it helps us appreciate your family more.

I really liked this video. It's always interesting to see how other people's days go.

Wow! Dawn that picture of you and Ur daughter- u look like twins!! The part in the kitchen !

You both do such a good job on these videos! I get excited for the next one to come out. Can't wait for the workbook either!

I have missed your day in the life videos. I always enjoy your projects and Reno videos!!! It’s more personal and your relationship is fun to watch!

Finally! Been waiting all day. 🥰

Thank you for showing us your day! Very interesting for me is the homeschooling part because for us in Germany there is no real Home-schooling possible, our kids must go to school, which gives the days a structure, no flexibility (good and bad sides). I also like your evening-routine, which is pretty similar to ours (our tooth fairy must ne the same as yours 😆). Thanks for all your videos - it helped me a lot on my way becoming a "minimal mom" ans it's always fun and makes ne feeling good. And even helps me refresh my English 😊. Greetings from Germany 🙋🏻‍♀️

I have been following you for the past two-three weeks and I just love your videos. I have been on a binge watching all the episodes. Everything has resonated with me so well. We have been empty nesters since August and I started decluterring my sons room when he left for college. I’m on the decluttering momentum right now. We have made so many trips to the local thrift stores. Everyday I do little at a time. I appreciate all your encouragement and your fun videos. Forgot to mention my husband jumped on the simplicity wagon 😉 Thank you and God bless!

So Dawn, thank you for sharing this day in the life video. Your life is not boring, it's normal and it's beautiful. The most important things in life are taking care of people and that is what you guys are doing everyday. Enjoy the journey.

A digital version of the workbook would be really great! I live in Germany and could read it that way as well, since I don't think these workbooks are shipped to Europe as well, are they? 😉

I highly recommend kinetic sand as a gift! Also, I totally agree with you about buying multiples of a top you like (in black) 😁

Great video. Love your family. Y’all are so uplifting and inspiring. 🙌🏻💜

The shed is coming together nicely! So much space for your machinery etc. 🍀 It was very interesting to see how an average day in your household goes. I can only admire all your hard work and the love and attention you give one another. Getting up at 5:00 in the morning and being so cheerful while taking care of 4 kids and yourselfs is an achievement on it’s own. 👍🏼👍🏼✨

It was great seeing your day! I would like to add that you have fans in Europe (Estonia) too, not just US and Canada ;) Your videos of minimal life has been very inspiring to me and my friends. Thank you! :)

Tom was wrong-it was interesting! My 10YO stopped to watch too! He’s fascinated by the kid’s beds and the kinetic sand…and that Tom is just like his dad (super handy)!

I enjoyed it. You are this cohesive loving family group moving into the future together. How nice!

Day in the life are always my favorite! Thanks for sharing!

Oh Caribou! How much I love their coffee!

Maggie’s like I don’t need your help with math, Mom. I got this. Love that🧡 My Em is doing great with Beast Academy and tbh I’m learning math in a whole new way. It’s kinda of insane how I learned math growing up. It was basically rote memorization. That really screwed me when it got to upper maths. I had no idea how or why it worked.

Hey Dawn and Tom Thanks so much for inviting us to spend the day with you both and your beautiful family Lookng forward to being back again I'll bring desert Blessings and Joy

You and Tom and kids, dog, your family are so awesome! You are so fun and really make my day. Great channel. Stay safe and Happy Holidays!

We just got a game for my 10 y/o and myself and my 7 y/o love it also. It’s called Even Steven’s Odd, it’s a dice rolling game that everyone plays at the same time (no taking turns!) and grabs Steven when they complete the challenge(like spoons). There are math skills involved, and the entire round can be done in under 15 minutes- win! A game both my kids and I are enjoying 😊

I LOVE this! I love a DITL. Also, Adeline, gosh she's beautiful inside and out.(I absolutely love her name, it's very popular here). I'd love a digital copy because I'm in New Zealand and who knows if that would ever arrive if we could even order.

That was so entertaining and relaxing. I love watching your shows while I drink my tea. Now I'm gonna go set my timer for 15 min and do some decluttering. Thank you! 💖🙏

Not a boring day at all! Wonderful to see how you are navigating this season of life. Such fun to watch and learn. I have been watching since the beginning and love to see how your business has grown and how your whole family is adapting and changing too. We are a few years behind (younger kids, etc) but i hope for those moments to get up early and create again! Homeschooling is a fun ride for us too:)

You are so blessed to have your family around all the time. I unfortunately live alone now and it is so lonely. I really don’t want to complain because I was married for 48 beautiful years and helped raise our grandchildren for many many years. I have beautiful memories but it is a struggle everyday being alone

Your family is truly beautiful - it's clear you guys have trained them well to take care of themselves and each other. I'm so proud of you and Tom. If you ever get to Nashville, maybe we can grab a coffee. There are campsites really nearby - within 15 min of us ;-D

So enjoy ALL the videos!!!! So inspiring. I'm a homeschool mom of 4 ( 2 already done) but a 10 & 8 yr. old & running a house too ..... We have wayyyyyy too much stuff. Slowly getting there! Thank you for all your real practical tips & thought processes. You guys are so fun & keep it real!!

It was so nice to hang out with you for 1/2h ! I loved this ditl, please do more, we need more of simple, real life inspiration ! Thank you

It was nice spending the day with you. Not boring at all. After seeing your lunch and dinner, it made me wonder about your meals. Do you keep the menu down to a few things or are you constantly looking for something new to print out or pin on Pinterest like me?!

I would love to know what you may be planning for retirement or what steps you’ve taken to prepare for retirement. I wish I would have started sooner because the one thing you can’t make up for is time.
