    Hey, at age 68 I pulled up roots, moved from my 6 acre 100 year old Iowa farmhouse, bought a small vacation home in Florida on a quarter acre. I'm planting a food forest on my empty lot, lush gardens and moss laden oaks whirl a magic spell on me...at 71 now eating figs n mangos n papaya n banana off my trees, my fern blanketed paradise nurtures me into adulthood as I slowly(sorta)embrace old age all by myself...life moves on, take it as it comes, do it all for the right reasons...for your family...haters gonna hate...be you...! Oh and congrats...!!!

You don't owe anyone an explanation or justification about how your life has unfolded. I've enjoyed every video you've made, and I look forward to continuing to watch your journey... yes, pls share videos of your new home with Nabil - I'd love to watch the progress. And MOST IMPORTANTLY a huge CONGRATULATIONS to you both - I am so happy to hear about your sweet babe due next month - be sure to soak in every moment with her

    Congratulations Jenna and Nabil! Part of the tiny house movement is not letting someone else dictate your goals and how you choose to live. I think some people forget that. Besides 460 square feet is still tiny. You make an excellent point about building your house to suit your lifestyle - and your original tiny wasn't built for the life you live now. I would love to keep seeing how other people have chosen to live tiny, and the changes you're making to your home. Thanks for all the great videos you've posted. I look forward to your future posts.

    You haven’t “sold out”. Life isn’t about finding a lifestyle and sticking to it no matter what. Life is about experimenting, learning and evolving. Your tiny house was the first one I ever saw online and yes, it maks me a little bit sad knowing no one is living in it. But I am happy for you! Only one thing: you aren’t “starting” a family. You already were one (doggo included). I would love to see a house tour once it is remodeled! I love small houses 😍. Love!

The people who matter won't mind and the people who mind, won't matter.

    You've helped so many people with your channel, and there's no rules to say you have to live a certain way - that's suppose to be what the whole tiny house movement is about - living however you want to! I agree 400 sqft is a tiny house, I would love to see renovations!

A good renovation video, especially one you’re doing yourselves on a old (venerable) cute little house, will be just as much fun as any tiny house video. Also, I think it’s a great idea to renovate it and make it into your family’s home.

    In a world where so many people are in debt over their heads from student loans and mortgages and credit cards debts it is so refreshing and even inspirational at how you managed your life so well. A tiny house was your answer to the question and it paid off. I am confident that you and your little family will succeed in whatever plans you make. You have an incredible maturity at 26 when you decided to build a tiny home to get your debts paid off. What a sense of responsibility and ingenuity for that age. Now that you have a family started , I can only see amazing things ahead for you. Thank you for sharing your journey. I wish you all all the best with your family life and future goals.

Ultimately, you are your own priority. What makes you happy is what is important. It doesn't make your channel irrelevant.

    Oh my goodness, Mama!! I'm so happy for you!! Literally, did a little happy squeal when you said, "announcement." I've watched your channel almost from the beginning of your tiny house journey. It's amazing the life you've been able to create for yourself with that tiny house. People's journeys change all the time, and no one should judge you for that. Even if you don't live in your tiny full time anymore, you were able to do so much in it and still use it even now. You're still an advocate, and that's the very opposite of selling out. Looking forward to seeing what you guys do with the new house! Congrats on the baby!! ❤️❤️

    Love this so much! My family and I too planned to live in our tiny house for the rest of our life. Hubby retired, we had such fun plans with our adult special needs son, oh the things we planned to do. We had 4 years in our home, some of the best of our life. Sadly hubby is now physically disabled and we had to move into a small home to care for him. Life happens. Enjoy the ride, it can be much shorter than you planned.

    It’s all there in your channel name: “Tiny House Giant Journey” - full steam ahead, no comma necessary, thank you very much! You are still working with and renovating a “tiny” house and (more importantly) living YOUR Giant Journey!! I’ve been following your story and your channel since early days and though it wasn’t necessary or anyone’s business but yours, thank you for filling in the blanks regarding your breakup. With that, we can all close that chapter of your old story and cheer you on in your new one! Of course, since you’re in the “public eye” there will be haters who are (say it with me!) “gonna hate”. May I suggest a composting toilet or an incinerette (sp.?!😱) in which to deposit such unsolicited opinions?
    I recently turned 60 and have been having some difficulties with life (I know - age aside, who hasn’t in 2020?!) I want you to know I find you and the people whose stories you document uplifting and inspiring. I’m very glad I found your TH-cam channel back in the day. You’ve come a long way to get where you are now. Congratulations on finding a spouse with a sense of HUMOR (so important!) and on your imminent new family. A Christmas baby no less - beautiful! Keep those videos a-coming. The house reno would be seriously interesting (IMHO) but I’ll leave that to your discerning and keen editorial sense - it hasn’t disappointed me yet! Stay happy and healthy, Jenna! ✌️😎

    So I don't really watch this channel, no special reason other than there are tons of channels around, but clicked out of curiosity when it popped up in my recommended feed and the first thing I can say is that you don't need to explain or defend things the way you do. It's no one's business but your own. Things happen, life change, circumstances change and humans adapt - it's what we do. Anyway, congrats on the baby, and wish you all the best! Hope you document all of the renovations made to the house etc, I love that kind of content personally :)

    Firstly I was thinking "how dare people comment on your private life when this is clearly a blog about living tiny and having a great adventure in life because of it"
    Secondly, I got really happy and excited for you that you have your wonderful hubby and that together you are expecting (what a wonderful due date by the way!).
    Thirdly, in answer to your question - what do we want to see? Well, personally I have loved seeing other people's Tinies, including the AirBnB ones, and would love to see more of those. Maybe now as you are becoming a parent yourself you could really hone in on Tinies with kids/teens and how they are adapted or special space saving tricks. So really, those Tinies that are multi-ocupancy, not just singles and couples.
    To be fair, I love looking at everyone's Tinies! Great job, Jenna. Please keep going!
