      Perfect description of what most likely ALL people go through at some time. During one particularly difficult time in my life I wanted to be happier, like I normally had been most of my life. So, I researched and found this book called the, "The Happiness Project". One statement in that book was especially meaningful to me. The days are long, but the years are short. The whole book is FULL of wonderful ideas and suggestions about living in the moment and treasureing each day. It is a good read and maybe you would like it, too.

    I just have to say you had me crying so hard Kenzie. I am just like that. It took me until I was 60 to have the dream my wife and I have now with land and horses and a beautiful daughter who rides like I can hardly believe. It may be painful to think that far ahead but you have a thankful heart and that is such a precious gift. Love you all. I hope my daughter finds someone like Spencer to love her like he loves you. So proud of him.

    Girl you need to start counting the blessings. You have way more going for you than most young moms. Get a journal and everyday write down 3-6 things that are amazing about where you and your family are in your lives. Give yourself a break. This life is simply amazing if you start to just smell the pines. All of us moms have been through those feelings. You are not alone. My sweet older neighbor gave me this advice and it sure helped me.

    All those hours at work, all those hours working on everything but what mattes the most in this life.

    It was so cute watching you being filmed by your "mini-me" daughter. It is so difficult when they are young and you all are doing a fantastic job. You've accomplished so much. I'm sure there are times (off-camera) when you want to scream in frustration with the overwhelming responsibilities. Your solutions of giving yourself a break do work wonders. I was a single parent when my two girls were about the same ages as your two. No family around, working full time and broke. Baby steps, you learn what works and what doesn't. Between the two of you and the laughter, it will get you through the rougher times. Yes, take the blessings when you receive them. It will be fun to look back on all of these times and imagine everything it took to get through it. You all are amazing! Keep it up.

It's difficult sometimes to just stay in the moment... especially as busy content creators who also have young children. I'm grateful that you share both the ups and downs of your evolving life story with your audience. With that said, know that none of your uncomfortable moments are for not...even if you prefer to fast-forward through them, but rather necessary...because they are there to help make you stronger, more informed, while adding incredible wisdom. This will be a blessing, not just for you, but also for your children and the audience who adore you. Your pain is our collective gain. Ultimately, you'll look back on this and smile... 'cause let's face it. You're built for this❤

    Kenzie I have filled you and Spencer from just about day one of your Adventures. You two are one of the great examples of a young couple carving their own way in the world and taking the path less traveled. We all anticipate and watch the videos you make with envy wishing we would have done this when we were younger. It's very easy for us to say don't be hard on yourself for getting down once in a while. But most of us have been in your mind set many times in our lives and reflect later on in life as to how we arrived at that state. I'm 69 and had my fair share of times that we wish we could change. But if we could change the would we still be the person we are, who knows. All I know is I would like to say thank you to both of you.

    Kenzie, Enjoy every moment, you’re experiencing new challenges, some are small and some little bigger, it’s what makes us who we are. Life’s full of challenges, today but can imagine how difficult life was for the settlers in the early 1800’s? No machinery, no phones, no AC!!! They did it and I know that you’ve a smart woman, a tough woman, one great wife and a fantastic MOM, you got this.
    I’m in my mid 60’s and watching various videos of young families getting started making homesteads on TH-cam, brings back tons of HAPPY memories of hard work and plenty of laughs when my wife and I build our home 30 years ago. It makes me want to start another homestead!!!! Great years of accomplishing little steps (lots of them) to build our dreams . . . Your channel provides me with dreams of maybe another chapter in my life, thank you.
    Your challenges in this chapter of your life is on video, really cool!!!! And it will be filled with memories that you’ll remember the rest of your life and the lives of your children and your husband. Love your channel!

    McKenzie I can appreciate your editorial. It was only after having children that I became almost obsessed with the future. Now 35 years later all 3 of our adult children have exceeded our thoughts on where, what and who they might become! And they all 3 are happily married and gave us 9 grandkids and they honor us with their time and attention. I even have a weekly movie night with my middle child. My oldest daughter. Give today the attention necessary to your family so that the future can be the best possible place to live.

    Well done to you both. Look at how happy your little campers are and how full their little lives are. Don't be hard on yourself Kensie, when you were building the container home you didn't have your hands so full. Enjoy this time. Make memories, and take a deep breath. Life isn't always a sprint. Sometimes its a jog. I love your channel and thank you for sharing your lovely lives with us.

    Hey ya'll are doing great! Now that I'm older and retired, I tell my 30 year old cousins that are feeling overwhelmed with kids and just life all together. And they feel frustrated and don't understand why. I tell them the older you get the more calm you get. You won't worry as much and all the frustrating things with kids and stuff your doing won't be that big of a deal. When your younger everything is extreme and very busy. Take time for yourself and give yourself a break. Ya'll are doing greater then you think. I love ya'll and everyone that watches your show adores ya'll. As my girlfriend use to say to me when I would complain or just have a bad day. COWGIRL THE F_ _ _ UP! It worked too!

    Just a tip when digging a ditch like that if you don't want to get dirt all over your road. Dig the ditch pulling towards the area you haven't excavated yet instead of towards the road. It will keep it much cleaner and faster because you will get a full bucket every time. Also that excavator has a hing point at the bottom of the boom arm so it can easily dig this way. That's what they are made for.

    You are right Kensie, life is short.. I’m 70 and it seems like only y’day (40 yrs ago) we were building our house and starting our family. I think it’s only natural to get stressed sometimes and it’s not always about something that really matters. But you are correct, don’t wish your life away, cherish every moment as it happens....

    Get yourself a soft-start for the air conditioner. It drastically reduces the inrush amps by slowly starting the compressor over a few seconds. Which then allows you to run the AC on a much smaller generator.

Humor filled, creative, compassionate and very logical thinkers. Throughout each trial in this process may you all be blessed with greater wisdom ❤️ and abundant appreciation for the beauty of nature.

    From experience, I've learned, when we have ideas and plans we want to accomplish in our lives, we often get 'caught' looking too far ahead and forget to enjoy the moment we are in. Time is a friend and an enemy if we are not paying attention.
    Life live to the fullest, enjoy it every step of the way.
    Time flies by quickly. And it really does go by in the blink of an eye.
    I recently turned 65 and I'm like wow. How did this happen soo fast. The other realization is that there are less days in front of me than behind me. Now that's eye opening.

    Even without having the work you two are
    doing when the kids are this age you do feel stressed. And it is good to express how you feel. It's not whining or complaining. And by saying it out loud it
    relieves stress. Things will workout and sometimes just acknowledging what you are thinking helps you change. ❤

    You have grown in wisdom and it is hard to make sure not to let the little things stress you. You are a wonderful mom and voicing your feelings will go a long way in keeping the big things close to your heart while also passing on that ability to your children.
    There are no problems, just challenges and opportunities to learn and grow.

    My daughter got a great purines puppy two years ago making three dogs. I'm "Papaw" to her 4 kids and it took me a year and a half to understand this dog. I hated "Astoria" because she is relentless at watching and making herself known. I was told she needed a job to be happy and when I fully understood that and praised her for protecting/guiding the other two dogs she is now a part of the family. Being nocturnal is difficult but that is the exact time one needs protection so her barking is a warning to everything that she's here and my acceptance of that and coming along her instead of against her makes a world of difference. Her job is caretaker of us all and we are grateful.
