du tittar på hus i rysk stil, du borde gilla det;))
Hi Jenny , about the stove ....,you said the fire doesnt last when u close the doors ,...of course not ,..the most lower door has to remain half open in order to help the smoke go out ..., then when the fire s gonne you have to close it to keep the heat! Try it and update it to me :) , kisses !
Solen lyser även på liten stuga. Is a old song that harry Brandelius sang 1939❤
Welcome to Sweden 😀
Nice to meet you and congratulations to your beautiful little cottage 🌷 Hope to see you back here soon and Looking forward to your adventures in our country 👍
Love Ing 🇸🇪
No, we don't say sauna - that is the finnish namn. We say "bastu".
Tänkte precis skriva det 😄
Badstu på norsk også 🙂
...Which originally is short for 'bad-stuga', a bath/ cleanse bothy.
Thanks, that makes sense!
Saunas are in short supply in Sweden. As a Finn I'm shocked how rare they are. I don't think that I have ever seen a house without a sauna in Finland.
May the Universe nurse your bruised and battered Heart back to full health after the loss of a child.

you should be proud of your self for gettting the courge to follow your dream
Oh, my goodness, Jennifer!! You’re my hero!! I’ve been trying to see me in five years and I have nothing... due to our United States issues! If I could leave this instant I would!! Ireland, Scotland, Sweden or Norway - I adore them all! Please keep the videos coming and my heart is truly with you and your family! Wish I could be there to share a meal cooked on the wood stove! My childhood and early adult years were spent on my grandparents cattle ranch in Northern California where we lived such a wonderfully simple (if sometimes inconvenient) life! Good for you!! I’m definitely a fan of the lifestyle!!
How far north in California?
Lynn Scott we lived on the ranch about 14 miles NE of Chico in Bug Chico Creek Canyon. It is now a nature preserve run by a foundation at CSU Chico.
Same here, I’m from the Netherlands and I would love to live in a forest. Nature brings us at peace, like god intended to. In Holland there’s almost no nature left anymore, which isn’t good for your soul.
Kathi Burdette Hi Kathi ...... I was commenting on this page, when I came across yours and all what you just said in your comment is great and amazing. Kathi I will like us to be friends, This is my Gmail raymondgogolf@gmail.com you can text me sorry for comment on Public stuff. please the gmail is only for Kathi kindly text me on this gmail if that is okay with you? I hope to hear from you soon.....God bless you.🌺🌺🌺🌺🌺
I give you alot of credit. I'm at a crossroads in my life and trying to
build up the courage you showed to make a big move. I admire you and
am so sorry for all your losses.
Wishing you the best.
Susan from USA
My sentiments exactly!
im doing it, not moving to sweden but making some big moves, and it takes time to get your mind wrapped around it, andplus stay away from the naysayers or people that have a selfish agenda that like to see you stay stuck. Thats the first thing I did, dropped those people
Hope it all works out for you Gigi!
Hi Jennifer. Nice house you bought. A little unusual then with a small kitchen. The most common in old Swedish houses is that the kitchen is the largest room and so a small "chamber" as a bedroom. As you have probably seen, we do not normally have shutters, yes some have it as decoration.
Hope you will enjoy yourself in Sweden and with us Swedes, we may be a little unavailable at first but then ...
Thanks Krister. The small kitchen maybe due to the fact it was possibly a soldatorp, but almost certainly the oldest house in the village. The neighbours have been really welcoming, so far!
I first went to Sweden in 1973 we stayed in Kalma. My guys parents were beyond fabulous, a little shy and guarded at first. For Midsommer we went to their country house and Rolfs Daddy made me a wild flower crown and we took the record player into the garden and danced around until after midnight. Sweden will always own half of my Heart.

Sounds like you have some marvellous memories! Yes, I think for many of us, Sweden will always have a part of our heart
Seeing the inside of your cottage and the way it's setup gives me a better appreciation of my family humble beginnings..lol...I love it. I would love to own something like this it's quaint and quirky and warm and inviting...ENJOY LIFE
Sauna in Swedish is bastu :) such a cute little house! I love the very old stove, must be late 1800s or something? My parents summer house has one of those, my grandmother grew up in that house and she's over 90 years old :)
Yes, it is a really old stove! This house is the oldest in the village and it looks like the original stove
Be sure and have the stove pipes/chimneys cleaned out on a yearly basis to prevent flue/chimney fires. That might be why the kitchen stove won't stay lit. Enjoy your treasure!
Or you haven’t opened the chimney, there is usually a metal rod sticking out of the chimney that you need to push/pull called “spjäll”. It is to avoid cold air coming down the chimney when there is no fire going.
Was just about to say that too, Sauna is finish Bastu is Swedish xx
I've just found your videos today and what a delight, Jennifer! I studied in Sweden for two years and miss it every day. Your pursuit of your dreams is so inspiring and I look forward to following your journey.
This was a brilliant decision considering the coronavirus. You have the perfect hideaway.
The swedish name for sauna is Bastu.
The name sauna is from Finland =)

Oh, yes! I would have bought that place in a heart beat! My great-grandparents came to the U.S. from Sweden, but I’ve never been there. When my retirement time rolled around, I moved to Mexico, and I absolutely love it here. But I keep thinking that I need to go visit Sweden. I’ve done lots of genealogy, so I know about zillions of ancestors, but I think I need to go there to get a feel for what their lives might have been like. (My other great-grandparents came from England and I spent a month traveling around there three years ago. It was wonderful to visit the towns where they lived and walk the streets they walked. Now it’s time to do the same in Sweden.) I just found your channel, and I look forward to following your adventures.
How wonderful to have a Swedish heritage. I hope you have (or make) an opportunity to visit Sweden one summer. Everyone I know that has visited has loved it!
My great grandparents came from Sweden as well! I’m hoping to go there next spring!
I'm from Sweden and I have relatives in Florida and North Dacota. I live in a family farm and many many years ago there was men who went to Minnesota. One came home and the other stayed. I dont know were he lived after that but I have a nice picture of him . A handsome gentleman whith a big fur coat and a nice stick in his hand. Sometimes I wonder if he got married and had kids. Arizona lives one who I have met one time. It is interesting.
I recently did 23 and me and found out I’m 3% Scandinavian!

Nice to hear you speak lovable about things we are used to, living here in Sweden. Not everybody have the opportunity to own such a nice cottage...byt more and mode people seem to move out to one now instead of living tight in the cities. I am now over 60 and will downsize to this typ of cottage soon...but with running water and live there yearround..I like your thinking about doing NOW and not later.. exactly what I felt after loosing my husband.To do now.. and not later.. because there might not be a "later"..Greetings.. Gina
Indeed Gina, we never know what the future may hold. Hope you find a special cottage to call home.
Gina,
My Heart goes out to you after your loss. Wrap yourself in self love and do two thing everyday that makes you smile.

@@carringtonlefayette8644 Thank you...I will do that...bless you...Gina
You have probably already discovered that the pinecones make excellent kindling for starting a fire. You can even dip them in beeswax to make a fire starter, though isn't that the point of kindling? True, but the wax gives them super starting powers. 😁
Great cottage, great channel and fantastic video! I shall follow along.
Thanks!
Welcome to Sweden:)
You Rock too Jennifer:)
Is Sweden doing well escaping the world madness?
Very pretty cottage and countryside. I've done something similar in Hungary haha I've even got the same IKEA hot plate... But I broke it, I'm looking forward to viewing you videos, I've posted a few about my cottage but they're not as professional as yours! 😁🌹
Sauna in Swedish is "bastu". In case you haven't figured it out yet that sauna is your bathroom... If you don't have running water, the sauna is where you get cleaned up. You can heat up water inside the sauna and mix it with cold water to get the temperature you like and then you wash yourself in the sauna. That's how we did it in Sweden in the olden days.
I would love to get a feel of a whole room. It is hard to see with so many close-ups, though the close-ups are definitely enchanting.
I guess in small room without wide angle camera there is no other option to film it :)
Agreed, I desperately wanted her to back up to see the whole room.
Just beautiful
It is her plan and her dream, but I personally dont like it, it looks like everyones leftovers all dumped in the house, and the outside is a mess....maybe they will do a little bit of work and give it some charm and personality!!
We lived like that in Northern Michigan. Of course, our people were all Scandanavian.

I love seeing you videos and your entusiasm about my country!!
✨🇸🇪
Use the rest of used Coffee not the liquid just rest ( kaffe sumpen) and mix it with Forrest soil and you can grow veggies and herbs easly
Then during winter you buy (Säckväv)and cover it so i it is sheald from snow
And in spring you remove it and it will grow again..
Thanks Tillymea, appreciate your suggestions for improving the soil!
Hi Jennifer Carter!
In Finnish, the name of the sauna is Sauna.
Bastu = Swedish word
Sincerely T.
just pay attention to the flag law...I doubt the police will ever enforce it, but other neighbors might find it disrespecting, ofc in this video you had a "vimpel" and not a flag and that one can be up 24/7
Great channel! You're living my dream and you've got a really beautiful place, you're so lucky!
Thanks Richard! I’m happy that I’ve made some choices which have meant that I’m able to spend time in this beautiful place, even though buying it was pretty nerve-wracking for a few weeks!
Lovely place,my compliments!Also I love your voice and English...:)
You mait already have got this tip for the logg fire. But when you start the fire it usually need a bit more air / ventalation to start of with becase the pressure in the pip is lower then in the stow. So keep the hatch half open for about 5-10 min . Until the fire have burned a good wile. Then you can close the top smal one, But be aware that the lower smal one the gridd need to be open to let the air in. only to be closed when you whant to put it out.
Thanks so much - will give this a go!
Very nice place. I lived alittle like this in northern sweden untill October 2017. Then i did about the same as you, But for me it was a move to a small village in Hungary. Its really an adventure to break up and start all over in a new place.
What a magical, happy place, love the sauna and you also have room for a pool and a pony. My dream home, well done. Love,love, love.
😍😍😍
It is a happy place - it is a dream home for me too ❤️🇸🇪
Not a sauna (finnish), but a bastu.
Delightful! Very charming and inspiring. Congratulations on your adventure. You are living a wise saying: "Enjoy yourself, it's later than you think." Wish I were there to lend a hand with your garden.
Glad you enjoyed it. Yes, the garden needs a little work and more trees, I think!
@@JenniferCarterWriter I wasn't implying a criticism -- I enjoy gardening and being productive. For me, it would be fun!
I've never been to Sweden, but I imagine it is a marvelous place. From your videos, it certainly appears that way. Thanks again.
No worries Steve, I didn’t take it as a criticism. Hope you get to travel to Sweden one of these days, it really is a beautiful place
Just found your videos ... wow !! I've subscribed. Such a beautiful little cottage. Can I ask....did you have any problems with the language barrier when you were trying to get stuff set up, re. the move etc ?
Hi Jane, I’m sorry to say that my Swedish is not good. However, almost every Swede speaks really good English, so that has not been a problem
@@JenniferCarterWriter well I think your cottage is beautiful. Have you used it yet during the winter months ? I bet it's a magical place at Christmas 😊🎄 Hearing your story about your little grandaughter ....I can only imagine. I have three little granddaughters of my own. Looking forward to more video updates of your little Swedish idyll.
Have you managed to get a fire in the wood stove yet? I have a similar one and it is a bit of knowledge to get fire in them, because they require a draft so that the fire picks up .. After a while it sucks air itself if you feed it with fuel (paper, lamp oil) but it takes a while.. especially when it's cold outside. (There is also a damper that must be open of course).
enjoyed your cottage video and looking forward to more. I live in USA and simple living is a craving I have always had. Looking forward to more viedos.
This is an AWESOME video tour. Thank you for sharing your life in Sweden with us!!! Jennifer Carter, YOU ROCK!!!
That's so nice! Love it
What a charming cottage! ✨
My God, to go through so much loss you would have to put me in The Nut House because I'm halfway there anyway. But you still seem to have a warm beautiful outlook on life and I really admire that. you have realized either you lie down in crumble during adversity or you pick up the rest of the pieces and go on with your life. Thank you for your tour and I hope you and your family have many years of Wonderful beautiful memories in your cottage.
jesus that outhouse is... gross lol. and where is the shower/tub? in the garden beside your deepwell? omg...
Would be interesting for some if you would do a sit-down video of the process you went through to by a house and land. Is it complicated to get residency in Sweden and is the process expensive to apply for residency? I live In Scotland and would certainly be interested in the process. How expensive is food and what about work permits and being able to drive a car? Dose a UK car licence mean anything or would one have to resit a car test? Is the power supply 240v like the UK... Great video thank you. Are the houses well insulated for winter?? I know it is cold in winter...
Pretty sure I can answer at least some of these questions, at least will try.
"How expensive is food ?"
Sweden is one of the more expensive places for food in Europe, still it's not that expensive unless you decide to eat out allot (or buy expensive food).
Average take-away meal is around 100 SEK in general and fancy restaurants are anything from a few hundred to a thousand SEK depending upon
what you indulge in. You can still get away quite cheaply when it comes to food if you shop around, also look for food that's going out of
date cause they slash the price up to 50% on such items.
"Dose a UK car licence mean anything or would one have to resit a car test"
You can have your license converted to one that works in Sweden, think it's to an European license. that should make it possible to drive
with your license in Sweden.
"Is it complicated to get residency in Sweden and is the process expensive to apply for residency?"
No, not since you already live in Europea. Regarding work permits, don't think you need one since Scotland is part of European Economic
Area (EEA),. If you where from a country outside of it, that would be a different story.
"Is the power supply 240v like the UK"
Swedish standard is 230V
"Are the houses well insulated for winter?"
Yes, even in southern Sweden where I live the winters can get a bit cold (can go down to -15C where I live). My grandmother used to live in Dalarna before
She passed, I remember that it used to get down to -25C where she lived. Having a well insulated house is pretty much a requirement in Sweden, unless you
want to freeze your testies off. One thing that be worth thinking about is having what we swedes call "Bergvärme", there's companies that will drill into the
ground and use pipes to pipe heat from subterranean sources and use that to heat your home. It's a bit of an investment, still it can be well worth it to not
have to rely on a fireplace for warmth.
"process you went through to by a house and land"
Depends a little on how you do it, if you do it yourself or make use of real estate agencies. There are quite a few good guides on how this works in general,
they tend to be in Swedish so some translation app is required. Easiest would be to just get in touch with a real estate agent, then you can ask them questions
about specific things you wonder about. One important thing to remember is that the house may be part of a general development plan, so certain things
might require "bygglov" or construction rights before you add/modify something. There's still quite a bit of stuff you can do without needing to apply for that,
allot depends on location and how far out into the countryside the place is located at.
Thanks Wario DS for such a helpful answer! The only thing I can add is that, after the 1st of January 2021, no one knows what will happen about residency and work permits, as I believe it has not yet been agreed
@@JenniferCarterWriter Yes, didn't think about that. Thanks for adding that bit in.
I just happened to run across your video while watching some art video's on TH-cam. This made me so happy. I don't know you, but I am so happy for you. You sound like you have been through a lot. I can see the joy that the cottage brings to you. I wrote down what you said about the "5 years" in your other video. It really is something to think about. I'm going to subscribe and hope to see a garden one day! Best wish from New Mexico, USA.
well done gal ,it takes a certain type of person to break out into the unknown, been there and still there all positive ,so now your next challenge surely must be to drive to sweden at a nice relaxed pace ,i have made a few moves like you have and have loved every minute of it, and i always took a plane ,that was until i decided to drive for a nice change ,and it was the best decision ever ,living next to the black sea ,my drive to the UK takes 3 days ,but the journey is fantastic and a lot more enjoyable than flying,
good luck cleaning the flue ,but i am sure if you ask a local they will come up with a answer for you,
a top tip about putting wood in the fire to make them last longer in the evening ,is to stand your wood in a bowl of water for 10 minutes before retiring for the night and they will burn slowly during the night ,,all the best ,,
everything is wonderful except i couldnt do without a kitchen sink
Or indoor toilet
Barbara Vyse especially during the winters in Sweden!
@@barbaravyse660 wait til the first time she sits on that outside toilet seat during a Scandinavian winter! The next video will be: "Why I'm selling my Swedish cottage".
I’ll keep you posted! 😉🇸🇪❤️
It's and old cottage, not a modern house. They didn't have indoor toilets or state of the art kitchens. You don't "live" there, it's a retreat to charge your batteries. People are so spoilt and have no sense if history.
where do i find an inexpensive 'cheap' place like this as my forever hideaway ?
It's hardly surprising that the cottage was so cheap, given how very basic it is, but the value, IMO, is in the land - it's beautiful.
@@Sparrowdean Have you ever bought a house, anywhere? In rural Iowa, very similar to rural Sweden, you would be hard-pressed to buy a wood-frame garage for 20k, much less a house with land and outbuildings. Do you live on Mars?
As a Swede, I´ll give you a proper answer :-) Try a website called www.hemnet.se Its a place where you can find houses for sale all over Sweden. If you want something really cheap, you should look for a house like this up north in Sweden. Its so freeking beautiful up there, but winter is coming, and you need to cope with that. But if you have plans to use your house only during the summermonths you will have sunlight 24hours a day :-)
Oh what a lovely home!!!! I’m from New York and our homes don’t look anything like this one. So cozy. By the way... I love your accent. ❤️
Welcome to the north.make sure you have plenty of firewood.always. and don't be shy to ask the locals for ideas on how and when to do what. Old traditions are usually the smartest and the fastest way to do things.greetings from🇫🇮
I love it. You made the right decision and got it very cheap. Your whole family will love it too, especially the children. Enjoy and cherish the memories that will be made in the near future.
Thank you for the walk through....just enchanting....
You are a very precious soul Jennifer ❤🕊🌈 thank you for your channel 🙏
Would love to see in the freezing winter . Which I heard last like six months. 🥶🙂 kudos to you though, happy retirement.
Will try and make a winter video at some point, if I can! The cottage looks pretty in the snow ⛄️
You are English. That's why you have so many teapots. How do you wash? No tub? No shower? At night if you need to go to the loo? You need to put your coat on I assume. LOL I admire you. I could not do this.
I am English, which is probably why I have so many teapots! If you take a look at my Sweden morning routine in winter video you will see how I wash my hair with an outside shower. And yes, I have to put a coat on to go to the bathroom sometimes!
So lovely and peaceful looking. The helpful moles
Beautiful ! Thank you for sharing .
My great grandfather brought his family to the United States from Sweden. My son has traveled there as part of a Basketball goodwill trip for teams and loved it. And happy to subscribe and see the countryside and learn about your life there. Seems many are embracing the simplicity and wholesomeness of earlier days. Guess we better all learn to make wax candles again! Enjoy!
Sauna is a Finnish word. In Swedish it’s bastu.
That’s interesting to hear Tilly, although I have heard our neighbours research refer to it as a sauna
@@JenniferCarterWriter They must have been speaking english or something? Or it's a local thing? "Bastu" is the noun and the verb is "basta".
Good point Eric. I think the reason I thought that is because the word “Sauna” is written over the door. At least I have one new word in my Swedish vocabulary, thank you!
@@David.Dahlia And "bastu" is probably short for "badstuga".
What a sweet cottage! I don't know you, yet I'm very happy for you, and sharing your enthusiasm & joy :) (BTW, I am Swedish by ancestry but have never been there...)
You are an inspiration of bravery
Welcome to Sweden!
I just came across this and absolutely love it! Happy to visit for a brew .... 🏡 🌸 💕
Just found your channel, so encouraging, thank you. Best wishes from Susan in UK.
I was born in Uddevalla! I left when I was very young. Now I live in Canada 🇨🇦.
I really enjoy your videos of first homeland. It’s so beautiful. Please keep them.coming. Canada seems very similar to Sweden except where I live it gets very cold!! God Bless
th-cam.com/video/WQFlu4L_iAU/w-d-xo.html
Thanks you my friend 💕💕💕💕💕💗😘
You have lovely home and well come to Ireland 🇮🇪,
Very calming 😊🎶, I subscribed so I could pretend that I'm not trapped in the nightmare that life has become here in the USA. I'll check in with you until our prayers can be answered by our election on November 3rd 🙏!
You should not close the hatch on the "vedspis" when you use it.
Love it! I grew up in Kansas near Lindsborg Kansas "Little Sweden" and I love the clean, bright Swedish decor! My mom lives there a couple times and so did I. My mom used to paint Dala Horses.
Very nice you could follow your dreams, I on the other hand plan on moving to more luxury but also off grid to some extent. Grew up on large ranch and know that age interferes with your strength and energy so plan on not requiring alot of that
I originally thought of getting somewhere that I would renovate but this cute cottage works as is and I can make changes later. I hope it will continue to work for me as I grow older
Thank you for showing us your lovely home I think it looks more beautiful outside than inside I'm not sure if it was your decor or some of the pieces all over the place but it could do with some work but thank you for showing us your lovely home
Thanks Cassandra! The first priority, when buying this, was to enjoy it for awhile, but we do have plans to make some improvements, for sure
Fantastic tour and voice over!
You're one lucky lady! What a beautiful place to call home.
Wow this is so nice ! Thank you for the video !
Whoa, the electric situation needs sorted. Be careful.
Sweden is such a beautiful country
We watched the Swedish Homestead for years but now they've moved to Austria but we still love them. Not sure where you are from. We watched your video when you just bought the cabin. We bought a 211 acre farm for our kids and grandkids but they never wanted to visit so we finally sold it.
Yes, I miss the Swedish Homestead too! I’m from the UK 🇬🇧. You’re not the first person to comment but the dream of the family enjoying it didn’t turn out quite how they expected.
@@JenniferCarterWriter we love your farm in Sweden 💓
Hello 👋, loved these videos, hope you are ok
Did you open the vent? When you get the fire started make sure the fire gets air from bottom. Aka don’t stack that with wood so much. Also close the door when you see actual fire going on and open the bottom door. So there would be air flow
Thanks Annemari, so helpful - will try that!
My dream is to own my own cottage one day 💕
This is crazy.. I just found your TH-cam through recommended videos, and my boyfriend says "I recognize that place"... Turns out I live like 10 min away from you 😂😂 holy
Awesome 👏- Hello neighbour!
@@JenniferCarterWriter Hello! 👋😄 If you ever need any help with anything 👍 I'm close haha. If you like thrift stores I know two good ones in the area! And my bfs sister lives in the same village as you with her bf! They have a little "self-check-out"-store with local vegetables etc! You can buy our pumpkins there atm :) haha
Thanks! I definitely love a good thrift store Stierna!
Such a beautiful cottage. Such a dream.
the Swedes use the pine cones for starting fires in the winter. you might want to check with one of the neighbors to see how they treat them with leftover candle wax to get a wax encased cone.
Pine cone fire starters is such a lovely idea!
Hello, this is nice place to living.near to the forest area. Wow old fashion. Thank you for sharing
Absolutely beautiful xx
It is so niceeee and cozyy!!!
I love love that you have the oldest house in your village and that you incorporated elements of nature from there into your house to blend your style with the new surroundings you so adore...i adore your cottage...and your willingness to get water from a well ...a wonderful trade to be out in nature...beautiful home truly
Connection to nature is such an important part of life in Sweden - love that you have to get outside the house multiple times each day!
Such an interesting cottage, I’m intrigued so I Subscribed 10/10/20 from Georgia 🇺🇸
Thanks for subscribing Shelley!
Lovely Swedish house :-). Perfect for getaways and for living life simply. A steal buying this for only £20k. May I ask how you use bathroom facilities? You mentioned the toilet wasn’t connected.
I love the cottage, it's comfort personified. I imagine the bread baked from your wood stove, mmmmm .
Beautiful setting.....
What a beautiful place.
I've watched all your videos, there great and I've really enjoyed them! Prayers and peace from Wisconsin, USA.
Great movie, so glad you enjoy your cottage! Just wanted to say that those pine cones and bark in that basket are excellent fire starters. At least that's why we collect them and what we use them for. We use those for our woodstove and our fireplace in our cottage. And get the chimney sweeps in to fix that chimney - there's nothing like food cooked on a wood stove, I tell you! I don't know why but everything tastes sooo much better. I hope you'll be very happy in your new home. We actually moved permanently to ours as we loved staying there so much. :-)
I can’t wait to get the wood stove working Mariam! I agree, birchbark makes an amazing firestarter
Maybe you can do a video on how to buy a cottage in Sweden. Beautiful place
Maybe I will Grace!
Just found you, new subscriber. Lovely video and gorgeous cottage. I wish it were mine. Love from Lilly. (new Zealand)
So this is where you go on vacation. You don’t live there all the time?
At the moment I am not living that all the time, much as I might like to. Who knows what the future might hold?
I Wish You and Your family many Joy and happiness. From a Granny in South Africa. I Love my Family and my Grand Children.
Thanks for sharing 🌻
So happy you know how to appreciate the hard work of the moles. My friends and I love their faces (sometimes one cachés à glimpse of them)and their ploughed Earth for our potagers😊
Thank you for taking the time to answer my questions...This will help a lot of people looking to make changes in life...
Kindness your way

Thanks so much for sharing country life with me from Sweden. I’m a Texas girl so it’s great to see things from a different perspective
I love your videos! I just finished watching the one of your morning routine, and my cell phone would not let me post under that video for some reason. So I came to this video. I wanted to tell you how excited I was to see that you read your Bible first thing in the morning and that you are reading the book on the Sabbath. I’m making this comment on the Sabbath, at the end of the feast of Tabernacle‘s. That feast is listed in Leviticus 23, and it is a picture of Messiah the millennial reign of peace Christ on earth.
The decoration horse is called "dalahäst". It is from the part in sweden called Dalarna. Visit it some time, it's beutiful 😁
I have just visited Dalarna Rebecca, and you’re quite right, it is beautiful!
I think ur great!!
