I’m a single dad who lost his only son at age 21 last year. One of the few things that bring me joy and peace is watching your lovely, and growing family. You tell your living story so well, with grace, humor, gentleness and beauty. I eagerly look forward to every two weeks to catch up with y’all. Thank you. 🙏

You guys are the reason my family and I are living in a camper. Our house burnt down in march and we was looking at a new 30 year loan at $1800 a month and I was watching y’all one night and thought “we can totally get a camper and just build”. So here we are living in a camper in our land.

Not in competition, but in unity for the better life for their family and themselves. Love this family!

Omgosh watching you build this bunk bed was a huge emotional moment for me. I remember my dad building a three layer one for my three brothers when I was around 7-8 years old. I didn’t like being around him but he was so talented. He passed away in 2008 and I never missed him not ever but watching u build I found myself missing him for the first time. I never stopped loving him but he was scary and I stayed out of his way. You are a talented builder but more importantly you are a delightful dad. Don’t ever change. ✌️

The farmers have been hit really badly and have lost a lot of freshly drilled wheat fields and other crops . I just want to get out and enjoy my garden .

Two words... sleeping bags. Our triple high bunks are a nightmare to make. They're a little easier if I slide them out away from the wall. But that's not an option for you. They do make a sleep system for kids beds that have both sheets and the comforter sewn together. It still resembles a fitted sheet on the bottom and has a zipper on the sides for easy entry.
