That’s it! We’re moving the FARM closer to our kids' college!

- We can't take this no more!
Hi there! 👋🏻 We live on a 1-acre farm right in the middle of the busy city of Phoenix, Arizona! Our names are Kevin & DaNelle, and we moved here in 2009, when our kids Ethan & Lydia were just 6 & 4 years old 🥰 Over the years we've raised goats for milk, chickens for eggs, built a fish/swim pond, planted fruit & nut trees, and grew a large garden full of veggies. We've also raised a bunch of other animals like pigs, sheep, turkeys, geese, peacocks, and more!
Now that our kids are away at college, we have settled into doing what we love most -- which is raising & breeding goats ethically to improve genetics. But don't worry, we'll forever love our goofy pet goats like Luna the herd queen & Willow the stump lover. We also still love raising chickens for eggs, gardening, tending to the fruit & nut trees, and growing fish in the pond. We use the fresh goat's milk to make cheese, butter, yogurt -- and we use that + everything else we harvest on our little farm to make delicious meals. Having a getaway from the busy world right in our backyard brings so much joy to us each day, and we hope it brings some to you, too. 🥰

Plan C rocks with making the “Murphy bed area” into a separate room. ❤️😘
Agree! plan C is the best!
agree
C
agreed!!!
Agreeded
I love Luna so much! When I lost everything in a flood 7 years ago, the thing I regretted so much was my Luna sweatshirt. My heart sank when I realized it was a victim of the flood😖. She is my spirit animal🙃😚😜
You two have the empty nest syndrome.😅. I'm glad to see you're keeping busy, and Kevin is making his wonderful crafts..
❤️🙋🏼♀️🐈🐕🌻
That's what I was thinking. They miss the kids. They can't leave the goats. I imagine the kids are rolling their eyes about now!
Sorry Kevin…I like plan C. And the smooches for the Queen… chef’s kiss!
I'd go with plan C. Second choice would be plan A. Poor Luna and her always wanting the bucks....lol
Plan C for sure! 😊
Your goat transporter is what we in the hood call..GHETTO FABULOUS!! great work Kevin.
I think option C is best, but I'd float the couch in the room to make more room by the side entry and to face the wall for your projection screen/TV- It sounds like a fun project!!
Ooh I like this!
I like this plan!! Plan C.2!!!
Could even use Kevin's couch in that configuration. If the two beds were turned ala option A, could the desk go in between since it's a wider space and then keep the wood stove by the closet?
Plus backing the couches into the beds would give the illusion of a tad more privacy if the kids wanted to nap
@@cassiemcmahon3015 That's true, in option C you might be able to run a curtain across that area too so when the Murphy beds are down whoever is sleeping can draw them for more privacy and less light.
Kevin should make little holes/slits in the roof of the bed attachment for the goats in the truck just to add a little extra light and ventilation
Plan c is clearly the best you never want beds by the door
Plan "C" is the one that makes the most sense.
Architecture student here! Plan C definitely works the best if you want more of an open concept which I think is kind of what y’all are going for looking at all of these plans. I would pick plan C!
Make the addition on the side of the cabin for the goats nice enough to put the pool table in it. When the goats aren't there anymore. C seems like the best fit. A avenged in our do windows and make the sliding glass door into an all weather porch with a couch that makes into a bed extra bedroom.
Plan C,C and C!! How exciting to have a plan like that.
All the best to you all.
Plan C gets my vote! I couldn’t help but notice that Luna was really trying to let you know she wanted a date with the buck. Those eyes!
This new project sounds like fun and will give you a great place to relax near the kids.
❤️🐐
Plan c is best. Im so very excited for you guys!!
I really love C for the open space
Plan C with the Murphy beds. Great plan!
Wow! So exciting! Plan C looks great!
I like plan c. It seems the most realistic, expectation-wise. It looks like it’s be pretty roomy and wouldn’t be too cramped.
my vote is for plan c with the Murphy beds!
also kevin's parents' cabin called me poor in like 5 different ways lmao
I'm so glad your family has a bigger place for all the extended family to get together and use :)
i like plan c a summer in the mountains would be good for the goats think how strong their legs and feet will be and they will trim down in no time
Kevin’s truck contraptions are absolutely brilliant! You would never know he rigged them up by just looking at them. They look very nice.
Hi Guys I vote for plan C. I think whatever way you decide to ho it'll be awesome.
What I loved from this update though is Luna still attracting the young bucks. She is such a queen and long may she riegn. Such a tease
Plan C sounds really good but maybe put a curtain, you can open and close between the two beds for some privacy or so? 🤔🤗💕
Luna is quite the doe. Love her. Hope you enjoy the visit with your children, I know you will. Have fun❤️ sounds like a great idea for you all to be in the country and close to the kids college. C is good. Have fun figuring out the best design plan. I know you will all find a good one.❤️🥰👍
Luna cracks me up! That face!!
C gives you more open space for the living room. I like the Murphy bed concept. During the day with them up will open the space more. TFS! Blessings to you my friend. ✝🙏🏼💕
Plan C with murphy beds and enclosed....you could use that wall for the projection tv
Oh my gosh! Kevin looks so much like his father! I vote for Plan C…it seems the most sensible choice. I hope you had fun on your mini vacation. Take care….
Plan C the layout it’s similar to plan A which i like but I think the kids would like the beds facing feet to feet❤
Forget your doubts. Give your kids the biggest hugs every time you see them. They will remember them always. Trust
Plan C seems like the best fit . Course if you lifted the roof you could add more space with a loft area for Plan D..... when wedding bells happen and....
Grandbabies 😁 As long as you are going to be switching it up for a 2nd house, plan ahead for the future.🤗❤️
Definitely plan C. Especially with the Murphy beds and separate room. You can also get a sofa bed for an extra sleep spot. I had to get one for my one bedroom apartment so I can have friends stay over.
Plan C makes the most sense for that space. It looks the best :)
I would say C but keep the wood stove and position the beds like A and put the desk between the beds as a divider. So excited for your summer fun!
Plan c.
A bit of thought & creativity can lower the two murphy beds into x2 rooms when in use.
Wood burning stoves are quite useful & functional!
Don't be in a hurry to discount it!!!
Definitely C❣️ It would be great to be closer to the kids, but far enough away that they have their space too.🥰
Luna is so cute and she loves her boy❤. I love how she always looks like she's smiling. Love tiny houses❤
Plan C for sure. Enclose the two beds with a wall in line with the walls from the first bedroom and bathroom. Separate the new room with a wall so the kids can also have some privacy. Put the doors for those rooms (pocket doors) on the far left and far right of that new wall so the space in-between the walls can be for a projector screen. This way everyone can have some privacy which would make staying in a small space for a longer period of time a lot easier for everyone.
I like plan c and a. Enclose all bedrooms. Y'all are going to be cooler next summer in your new cabin. All your goat babies are going to be happy to. Luna sure loves her boys 💕.
When I was growing up my parents had a pool table to. When more family came over. He made a top to put over the pool table and it was a big dining table. We also used it for table tennis. New ideas for Kevin. So happy for everyone.
You could go with C, enclosed bedrooms, then use that wall for a projector wall for tv 😄 Also in such a small space, twin sized beds for the two would probably work just fine, freeing up space for a clothing rack or something.
Definitely plan C. It make’s more sense. I agree not having a bathroom near the kitchen.
Oh my goodness, Kevin’s Cottage Crafts?! This is going to be awesome! We’ve been dreaming of building a mini house next to my in-laws in CO. So cool that the cottage would still be close but far enough to escape the sweltering days! Can’t wait!
C looks awesome I think you will make it good either way ❤😊😊😊
So funny you showed Daisy Mt exit and that’s right where I live! Also I was secretly hoping that my daughter who is also a sophomore at NAU and Ethan would meet and fall in love. Darn. 😂
Plan C definitely 👍🏼
Nice video with good practical knowledge, love to see your farm animals healthy and active. Stay blessed and live happily 😊😊😊
plan looks best
I love plan C the best. The way Luna looked at you when you told her no. Poor Luna. Thanks for sharing your adventures with us.
C! Both mom and I think so! I would still make the beds into Murphy beds, but close it off so you can have an office when the kids aren't in there with you!
Plan C is personally my favourite... its so cool though how you are planning to transform this little cabin... Love the goats and excited for this coming kidding season!!! Keep doing what you do❤ its always a pleasure to watch your content
I am going to go against most people and suggest A. I know having a bathroom next to the kitchen isn’t the best but it is more convenient to have a bathroom right near the entry. I also feel like you’ll probably need a heat source.
You guys never cease to amaze me, you’re always go, go, go! You have a lovely family 😊
Plan C. The two bed area can also become two separate bedrooms , each equal To the main bedroom - something to consider as the kids establish their own families.
I love what a great mom and dad you two are ❤ lucky kids for sure!
Sorry Kevin but C is the best choice. My in-laws had a huge pool table in their dining room. They had a sheet of plywood on top and used it as a table to hold food for diñer and school stuff for the kids. There weŕ 7 so they made a lot of food. Everyone ate in the kitchen or on tray tables where they could find room for a chair
Kevin is a perfect mix of his parents. I’m excited to see how the cottage looks when y’all are done with it.
I like plan C the best. What an exciting and fun time you guys will have building the "Cottage." 😊
I said out loud, "please mama, please please mama, let me play with Finick?" Then I laughed and laughed. 😂😂😂
Luna and Tilly have been my absolute favorites! I've been watching your channel ever since you got Luna. Actually, that was the very first video I saw, and was so enchanted by your beautiful family (watching the kids grow up, and seeing all the animals over the years, and watching your farm grow) that I've watched every episode ever since (I rarely comment), but I wanted to be in on the vote. 😌
Many Blessings to all of you! 🙏🏼❤
So cool seeing Ethan so happy!!! Awesome to watch the kids grow up!!! Sending love to you mama empty nesting was hard for my mom too
I love the big sectional, but plan C makes the most sense for space! 😊
Am I the only one that loved plan b the most?? 😂
Totally love Plan C - so excited for this venture!!!
Nice to see you’re making lemonade, now that the adult children are busy with life. Looks like you will be having your iwn fun next summer. Wonderful to see. 💕❤️💖
Plan C for sure! I love the idea of enclosing the bedroom with the 2 beds, and doing a murphy bed!
Even as adults in college, I know they love mommas cooking and def will miss it 🥰
Also I like plan C most it makes sense, also a wood stove?? Never heard of it but the name gives me a little bit of concern haha
It’s basically a fire place but It heats the house for you but it can be cold forewarning
Also….consider leaving a roll up door…it’s a small space and it’s so nice to roll it up and have a little extension outside for a patio, or outdoor kitchen. It’s actually sorta popular right now having a garage door in your house 🤣
Thanks for sharing your life. I love the goats and your family. God bless you all ❤️🙏🏼
I think A&C are the same-except the bed & bath are flipped. Since you're going to have adult kids sleeping in the cabin, maybe put 1 bedroom on each side with the bathroom between them. Combine the closet into the laundry room or next to it with a wall separating them so you don't have to go in the laundry to get into the closet. We had a log cabin, and the 2 bedrooms were separated by a wall with the headboards on opposite walls and a dresser to each side. The main room was a kitchen, potbelly stove and a kitchen table. A ladder went up to the loft with 2 full size mattresses on the floor. A storage for bedding was between them with a window above it. As a kid I sat up in bed and knocked my head on that ceiling everytime. We had a big wrap around screen porch with couches. The boys slept on them. The couches inside were also sleepers with pop up hinges for more storage. My mom had 6 of us & my aunt had 8. We had people everywhere. Loved the lake in the summer.
Love the new project! I vote C Danell’s design.
The only thing I worry about is the beds in the same space as the kitchen. Smells would get into the pillows every time... But on plan C you can out a rail with curtains too to help with situation and give some privacy
Have fun and good luck! I like plan C.
Like plan C , Murphy beds would look great 😊
I like plan A and Plan C
I love plan c for sure! What a fun plan.
OMG, Luna's looks to you were priceless. I love her soooooo much! 🤣Great to see the 'kids' and wow, next summer sounds like fun/hard work. Can't wait to see the adventures of that, with humans AND animals lol!*!❤
I t might be helpful to use all your space more productively by checking out Tiny house designs. They do a lot in a small format. Having a wood stove will be important in your location. Nice to have a second source in the colder climate. Maybe look into trundle beds instead of two separate static beds it pulls out only @ sleep time. Like a bunk bed compressed. Another possibility is converting the couch to the beds like trailer designs use. Compressing areas gives more flexibility to set up air mattresses if you have company overnight also.
Awww every parent will feel empty when the house is empty! I’m sure they missed you guys as well ❤
plan c looks like the best one yet. ❤
I would go with plan C
You guys are amazing parents I wish I had this growing up 🫶🏼
Sometimes we need our kids more than they need us 😢
Love love love it. Fantastic idea. So crafty Jenelle
Sweet Luna, just wants to snuggle. ❤😁
Good luck with everything 💜🇨🇦
How badly do you guys want the stove? If it's not a must have, I'd say plan C. If it is, plan A. I'm excited to see this craft! It looks like it'll be one of Kevin's biggest ones yet!
C with the wood stove
13:03
She asks if Reba approves and Reba shakes her head up and down to say yes lol awesome.
Omg Luna's face lol ❤
Dinning table & pool table combo is perfect!
I think C looks like the best plan :)
Kevin’s crafts at the cabbin 😂😂🤣 this man never rests for crafts 🤣🤣
More sleeping areas can be achieved by using what the passenger and cruise ships do. They are ceiling beds that can be lowered over a floor bed below it. Using space for beds like this is economical and very smart. Double bed on the floor and single beds above. Surround curtains for privacy and it's done! would use pull-out bed couch types. Then when the sofas are put back up, lots of space to use a table for board games, snacks, drinks etc.
We're gonna get moving vlogs??! What a treat, I love how close your family are ❤
Finick is whispering sweet nothings in Luna's ear!
Definitely Plan C
You should go into the ceiling for two separate loft “bedrooms” on each end of the cabin. There looks like plenty of space for beds! Going 🆙 would be super fun!!
Sometimes empty nesters just miss the kids too much 😅
I'd go with C, but mirror the long couch so it floats in the room and the back faces the the walkway. Put the wood stove where the long couch was, maybe do a bump out if there's not enough room to accommodate it :-) I got a wood cook stove a couple years ago and would be hard pressed to give that up living in the woods where it snows - so cozy!
Eeee I’m so happy y’all posted! I’m glad y’all are doing well and hope everything it’s being okay ✨
Edit: I think plan C and A are the best but mainly C in my opinion 😊
