    The fact that as a single woman you've created this beautiful, cozy, no-build, (for the most part), van home for you and Ruby is so inspiring! Be safe

    Everything is so pretty! Maybe a layer of felt can be applied to the portion of the wall that has the hanging/banging pots and pans? Something that coordinates with your decor and lets them still hang during transit! Keep up the great work!

    I order all my drinks with light or less ice. Otherwise they fill up your cup with ice and then pour in about 1/3 of the cup with your drink. That's why your tea is weak. You have a cup of ice with a splash of tea.

    I love, love, LOVE your van interior. I have a suggestion that you may take or leave, as you wish. I suggest placing a square of silicone mesh Rubbermaid shelf liner under your water cooler. It really will provide good security for the water cooler. The glass won’t slide on the wooden shelf plus it will quiet down any rattling. I enjoy your videos and creativity so much!

    When you get land? Buy you a camper. I've had it all. My camper is the greatest thing I ever bought. Ivr had the Lamborghini of sheds(had a loft, windows, porch, huge) I lived in a van shortly, brick house, double wide, single wide...etc. my favorite of all my 54 years? Is my 2006 Fleetwood Prowler I bought for $8,200. Not a scratch on, it; babies, barely used, still new. I'm in my yard now, inside it, watching you. Not my house. My cozy crochet camper. Love you. Love Rubes. If you're ever in VA? Park free here, anytime ❤ PS: I'm about 2 hours away from Boone NC. And I boarder the national Forest. Ridge top behind a locked gate. Way up off road. Rubes would love it. VA needs you 😂😂😂

    Very nice. I had this dream of buying a few acres of land & putting several sheds on it, adding one at a time. Making each one a room. Living, kitchen, bedroom, bathroom, etc. Then, making a pathway from shed to shed or room to room. Creating a breezeway between each one & designing a garden around it. Just a visionary dream. I can imagine something like that overlooking scenic mountains or foothills.
    You are really growing and getting to your goal of getting a tiny house! You are very courageous for sure!

    The other night, I made potato leek soup. It was so good. Slice two leeks, white parts only, sauté in butter, I use a lot of butter, Kerigold Irish Butter. Cut four potatoes in small chunks. Add potatoes, pour vegetable broth to barely cover potatoes. When almost done, add a little heavy cream. I don’t put mine in a blender, I just sort of mash it a few times and it’s ready to go. Add whatever spices you want. It turned out so good!

      I once ordered iced latte and asked the person who took my order to “keep it easy on the ice”… I was seved coffee with no ice and I know it was done with malice. I called the district manager and reported that starbucks location. I wa given a free drink when I went back there after a couple of months. I did not want a free drink, I just want to be respected as a customer. I was a very simple request and if I neede to pay extra for the drink I should have been told. And everytime I see that barista, I ask to be served by someone elase.

    Soup looks good, that's basically how I make my lentil soup. Only other things I add is about 1/2 tbsp of chili garlic sauce (Chinese condiment), that's if you like a little added spice and I add a chopped sweet potato or regular potato if I don't have one. To me the chili garlic sauce adds another layer to the soup. Anyway, enjoyed the video!

      My 1st thought was The Waltons when Mary Ellen sold John Boys typewriter, that he borrowed from the Baldwin sisters, to the traveling junk man.

      I was thinking of the old wagon trains from the westerns where the cook hits the triangle for meal time😂😂😂😂

    I loved that you used 30:31 glass jars. They keep things fresher longer and also keep mice out. They also look good with those labels. Great choice.

    Maybe try some silicon pot holders or trivets to place items on, including the rattling lids.

    They brew the tea very strong, then add water. You can ask for "no water" and it's the strong tea (kept at room temp) over ice (which melts it a little), which I find perfect.

    To help the rattling and moving, put rubber shelf lining under the glass jars and under the water jug. It will help secure even more👍🏻

    Rowan it amazes me the meals you make in the back of your van. I have a whole kitchen and I still struggle to cook. I love how grateful you are for everything you have. I enjoy watching all your videos! Also I wanted to add, Rowan you need to make yourself a cookbook (also us) with all your delicious creations, I could see a Rowan's Recipes... (Wow I just finished the video and YOU ARE!!! I am so excited about that)

    Lady. I just want to say.... Your style of living has really helped me step out and move into my van. I'm more comfortable about it because of your videos. Life has thrown me a huge curve. But knowing I'm safe in my van is a huge step.... Thank you for all the lessons learned

    Try putting large rubber bands around the jars to stop them from clinking. Dollar store has good deals, or save the bands from fresh veggies like celery.

    When you order iced tea at Starbucks, you need to say no water added. They add water to all their iced tea drinks

    It’s so funny because as you’re talking out loud through your thoughts and ideas, I’m over here answering you. 😂. All your updates I love. The rope around the water cooler looks so much better than a bungee cord. 😊 You can actually see the skillet swinging out. That pot for the stew is beautiful!

    If a bungee is too long you can slide the metal hook part back, tie a knot, and cut the excess off. ❤
    Your way is more pretty for sure.
    L brackets and S hooks! You may have changed my life!

    You can make dairy free 'sour cream' using soaked cashews, some salt and a little lime/lemon or vinegar. Tastes pretty good.

    You could glue or tack those rubbery contact sheets people put in bottom of cabinets for dishes to prevent sliding. Maybe put on the wall/board so iron pan and others don’t slid. Just a thought. But whatever you come up with I’m sure will be genius and creative. ❤😊
