Let us know what you find challenging when it comes to feeding yourself or your family at home!! For me... the worst thing ever is when a shipment of food is spoiled by rats... especially when we have waiting on it for months and months!!! Thanks so much for watching and being a part of our island fam!! J & K 🐟🤿🧜🏼♀
Ho adorato il momento in cui Arlo e Ophelia stavano facendo snorkeling,la loro disinvoltura è la loro curiosità, ADORABILI. Siete una famiglia STUPENDA ❤
The way she was like oh that’s a girl the eggs your kids are learning so much at a very young age and it’s so cool to see and show them how important it is to take care of the 🌎 and ecosystems. I could only dream of a life like this great job parents and kids and teaching at such a young age love it🎉🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤❤😮😮😮
yellow fin tuna and APPLE SAUCE ( or pears).. I used to love apple sauce with pork but I don't eat pork no more so if I crave pork I now use fish and its especially great with yellow fin tuna.. is the bomb.... ✨🐠🍏 im so impressed with your daughters knowledge, they say kids absorb so much and retain it by the age of 5... as parents, you talk to them, explain things and their knowledge has leaped in to heights ive never had the opportunity to witness.. makes me think of the things I would have done differently with my kids if I only knew... and having a life like yours definitely would have been a choice I would have made.. the kids are sheltered but are sooo free...
You are doing a great job in keeping your family healthy and providing for them with such great efforts! So sweet remembering and celebrating your dad with your kids! God bless your beautiful family with living faith in Jesus and eternal life! Job 14:10-17 NASB1995 [10] But man dies and lies prostrate. Man expires, and where is he? [11] As water evaporates from the sea, And a river becomes parched and dried up, [12] So man lies down and does not rise. Until the heavens are no longer, He will not awake nor be aroused out of his sleep. [13] “Oh that You would hide me in Sheol, That You would conceal me until Your wrath returns to You, That You would set a limit for me and remember me! [14] If a man dies, will he live again? All the days of my struggle I will wait Until my change comes. [15] You will call, and I will answer You; You will long for the work of Your hands. [16] For now You number my steps, You do not observe my sin. [17] My transgression is sealed up in a bag, And You wrap up my iniquity. John 3:16-17 NASB1995 [16] “For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish, but have eternal life. [17] For God did not send the Son into the world to judge the world, but that the world might be saved through Him.
Growing up in the Solomon Islands, the beautiful corals always fascinates me.. they’re the most beautiful thing I’ve ever seen.. as a child my people would have piles of different type of coral on a huge rock.. they put the corals there to attract fish.. but since the recent climate change thingy came in to place, all of them have died.. now the new generation won’t be able to enjoy the beauty of the corals😢.. saying this, while I’m only 25 is sad.. now the colourful corals can only be found in rare places..
The size of that tuna is insane! How many people will that feed? Do you manage to store fish for a few days? Feeding a family is definitely tricky! For us living on the road in the van full time with the kids it’s tricky to store a lot of stuff so we have to find shops pretty regularly. We buy a stock of dried foods, fruits and nuts and canned foods but like you say with kids, we like to eat as much fresh stuff as possible. Meat is a treat (just once a week) and we try to find local markets or more often locals selling fruit and veggies by the side of the road where possible! Definitely easier now the summer months are here! Ps. I love that filly can tell it’s a girl from the roe. You just can’t teach this stuff, life experience 💪🏽
Massive fish hey!!!! Yeah we fillet it down and vacuum seal portions to keep in the cold rooms at 3-4 degrees. But that amount of fish lasts quite some time if we kept just for resort guests (staff use up all the remaining bits of a fish like this so literally nothing is wasted). It must be so difficult not having cold storage. Working with things like dried legumes etc would be hard too not having powerful enough cooking appliances? I think fresh is best and whenever I can get in some variety I’m so happy. How good is Filly with her comments. It really is a lifestyle that brings soooooo many life lessons organically (the best use of that word in this day haha)
When there are fish that is getting scarce surely putting the female back and only eat male she was full of eggs think how many more fish that would bring.
Gosh, it's great to see how things have changed at Uepi. No internet when I was there LOL. There was no shop at Seghe either; most bulk supplies came to Uepi on the boat Liofai from Honiara. I remember seeing it come round the headland with the biggest list and I couldn't believe it didn't sink! 😂 Do you still get the local gnali nuts? And crabs? In my younger married life when I had young children like you I lived in Indonesian Borneo for four years. We had a commissary that was a touch bigger than your Seghe store. Pasta was often full of weevils so I would always make my own pasta and even bought an Italian spaghetti extruder! Of course, the flour would always have to be sifted first because of possible weevils. We could also get to local town markets by car there so, although remote, we were not as remote as Uepi. Occasional flights to Singapore were relished; we would buy and carry back to Borneo as many delicacies as we could! Mostly cheeses, cream, butter, and milk.! Dairy in Borneo was mostly the Long Life kind and my kids would love getting REAL milk for their cereal! BTW, is Clement still at Seghe?
Yes things have advanced somewhat even in the decade I’ve been here now (Katie) .. we still get perished goods, weevils, mouldy food and sometimes rats spoil a lot of our shipments that come from Australia which is so heartbreaking when you wait months on end for it. We have been trying to move things through quickly as it’s mostly at ports it gets infested with bugs or ants or destroyed by rats. Crazy hey. We still use the bulk shops in Honiara (often sent on passenger ferry as freight or on a chartered ship) for a lot of items, our perishables are all sent by airfreight and still mostly long life / UHT. We do get gnali nuts but they’re seasonal so usually have the roasted tubs of them for 3 months of the year. Loads of mudcrab and crayfish too. This video wasn’t exhaustive but yes a lot is much the same as it probably was many years ago. But we are far more specific now with what we get and there’s many moving parts 😊 I love hearing of your experience in Borneo. I think there’s something so special about raising children in unique settings. I love that our children know what fish roe is.
Hi, nice video again :) Thank you. We are just curious why when you have a resort are not having some kind of animal farm on this island? For chickens let say or rabbits or .. whatever will live there :) This way you gonna have more types of protein sources not only fish, right?
Thanks so much for watching and glad you enjoyed it!! We are very conscious of protecting the native wildlife here not only in the water but also on land... we have beautiful birds and reptiles here and being so remote on the outer barrier reef islands we hope to preserve a natural environment as much as possible.. We have supported a small local business nearby to our island with a chicken farm and they supply us with chickens and eggs which is also a great reliable source of protein which we didn't cover in this video. This is a great set up so that we don't have the disturbance of chickens on the island :)
Nice video as always🥰 I dont eay my animsl friend in any way* I do respekt your chouice tho, but I hope you ear non animal meals some time💝 Mach looove too you 💫🙏☀️🌻💞💜💞💜💞🌻☀️🙏💫
Yes 100% we have many full vege days.. most weeks we do enjoy seafood but our little family unit will sometimes go a while with no meat. We eat lentils and beans a lot too :)
Jase mentioned that people are disconnected from their food. Honestly, in a modern, globalized economy it's hard for it to be any other way. Most plant based foods are commodified, we have no idea where they come from. The farm 30min away or halfway across the planet it's all the same. The situation with meats is even worse. I'm not sure that they could sell meat if people understood how slaughterhouses worked viscerally. Sadly, what's a triumph of modern logistics and economics, is a disaster for the planet. Recipes are always appreciated.
Ohh completely agree with your first statement there. The food industry doesn’t afford everyone the privilege of choosing organic / wholesome or even fresh - we do of course realise the disparities that exist. I watched a very interested documentary about the plant based food industry and the shifts to target lower socioeconomic demographics as a means to food security. Interesting stuff for sure. We tend not to eat seafood when we’re away from home and can’t be sure of the source.. we are also so spoilt for the best seafood right here so why would we but I mean to highlight, there’s incredible local options elsewhere we like to support that if we can. I’m so happy to hear you enjoy the recipes!
That’s so sad to not believe in your creator. You & your amazing family didn’t come from nothing. You exist for a reason. God created this big amazing earth & all if the beauty it holds. And his son Jesus died on a cross for the sins of the world. Paying the debt we owe which is death & separation from a holy God. If we just put our trust in him & make him our Lord & Savior then we can be forgiven & have a relationship with him. And when we do die we get new bodies that are healthy, free from all of the troubles of this life. And can live in heaven for eternity. If we reject his free gift of salvation we will spend eternity in hell. At least call out to him & ask him if he would reveal himself to you. Surly can’t hurt.
U said that so beautifully. I cannot imagine not believing and trusting in Jesus as my Lord and Savior. I look at all the ppl that r so lost and grieve for the day they leave this world and then they realize it was all true. How awful in that moment for them. 😢🙏💔

at the moment im challenged to find seeded watermelon... I usually live on watermelon cherries and other stone fruits in Australia in summer...
Omg the kids underwater in that snorkel is beyond!!! ❤❤❤
Love including the underwater stuff!!! Nothing better than dive shop swims hey!

Thanks hun. A little honorary moment for my Dad. Why not. Wish he could see this life we have built 😁
@@TheIslandLifeofUs 🥲🩷
Arlo and Filly are growing up so fast. Love their appreciation of nature and their knowledge. ❤
It's such a special thing isn't it! I swear I see them get taller before my eyes!
You live in paradise 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
Any red meat options
Do yall raise chickens on the island? Fresh eggs and fresh chickens could help feed everyone as well. The chicken would eat a LOT of insects too!
Fresh is certainly best when we can. Great for kids to learn where food comes from.
Absolutely!!! I love seeing the kids learn in this way... changes so much for them!
So beautiful and i love the fact that you guys enjoyed it very much just like the locals..
Lovely beautiful family cheers😍
Loved it!!! Thanks so much for watching 🥰
Molly really needed that retail therapy, at least the island can be normal for a bit, Hee, Hee 🛍🛒😊
haha she needed a shop so badly!!! AND surprisingly it was a VERY satisfying shop for her ha ha
Beautiful vlog and it’s great
Thanks so much :)
You are doing a great job in keeping your family healthy and providing for them with such great efforts!
So sweet remembering and celebrating your dad with your kids! God bless your beautiful family with living faith in Jesus and eternal life!

Pajara. Apuchu. Ah my mother tongue. Jase speaking pijin in the Marovo accent tu hehe.
You look so bad ass spear fishing Katie (love Chantal xx)
haha thanks!!! LOL even when I don't catch anything at least I look the part!
Can you take beans and lentils from Oz. How about bananas mangos and eggs. Can you get them locally
Yes we do import some organic dried legumes, nuts and seeds for eating which is very helpful overall :)
