What a sweet week away with your little family, making new memories. Love that your husband surprised you with such a thoughtful gift to help you pass on family tradition!
I would love to hear more about your home-schooling routine, extra activities etc because as the more I minimise and slow down, the more I feel this is something that is achievable, whereas in the past the idea of homeschooling was daunting.
Yes, please more about homeschooling and what you do because I feel the same exact way as the comment above. Want to homeschool but just seems overwhelming but trying to simplify to focus on this because it’s something I really want to do
Madi! I love your videos so much and they have really helped me get my home together. I've always been pretty minimal but since we've moved into a bigger home I feel like we have just been filling it because we have the space. You have definitely been my inspiration for being ok with open and blank spaces. My cleaning routine is so quick and easy now too. Thank you so much for sharing your lifestyle!
Always a pleasure to have sweet glimpses into your life. Lifts my heart every time I see your name in a TH-cam offering! Thank you. Your creations, and your voice are a a lovely reminder to live my authentic life.
Yes to getting dressed in the morning! I homeschooled my children for fourteen years. They knew they were to be dressed and ready for school by 8 am each morning. It set the tone for them to be focused on their work instead of the feeling of lounging in pyjamas and relaxing.
Hi! Since I live in a log home, it was so special to see you and your family in a rustic setting. Your main home is truly my dream😊I hope u enjoyed yourselves
I like how that is a simple, common sense routine. There’s always the temptation to add more to make it more ‘routinely’ and productive; stripped down is so good. My boys get so so hungry in the morning, so I’m usually up making breakfast first thing. Also, at first I thought that you decorated that cabin yourself!
Been following you for awhile and just love how many new followers you have. Your message is contagious and has helped so many others realize what’s important in life. As always thanks for sharing with us.
I've just started watching your videos and a couple minutes into this you have a Josh Garrels song!! I've been listening to him for almost 10 years now.. AMAZING. His music just fills my soul. And these videos are filling my soul too!!
What a lovely video! Such a sweet surprise from your hubby! We live in Alberta, Canada, so we are very used to long, cold, snowy winters. We just got back from a wonderful, two week holiday in Mexico, though, and although we enjoyed the ocean, it's definitely not something we are used to, like you guys are! haha
I love your videos! It brings a sense of peace and calm to me, thankyou for that. Also I’ve been eyeing a mauve sweater and I’m dying to know where yours is from. Luv ya girly keep doing what u do!! ❤
Such a wonderful time to spend with your kids. I love the snow. Still trying to get the simple life down. Getting rid of more things I don't need. Funny how you can get addicted to the declutter.
I just want to say THANK YOU ❤. Your videos are so refreshing and inspiring to me as a mama looking to live a more simple life….your videos bring me so much peace thank you ❤❤❤❤❤
Oooo that A Frame looked so cozy! In northern Minnesota where I am from there are a lot of them in the woods and they always look so cozy especially after a nice good snow storm. I’m so glad you got a chance to enjoy some time away exploring the snow. We moved to Florida this past fall to be closer to my sisters and mom and it has been such a shock that I can live in sunshine and warm weather alllll yearrr longggg. What a blessing! ❤
When Hurricane Fiona hit we were without power for 3 days (we were the lucky ones), and I realized then how much shorter our days were, the sun still set before 7 and we were left with a whole evening where we couldnt really do much besides play card games & read by candle light and go to bed early. And I realized how unnatural it is that we usually work late into the evening. I struggle with feeling like Im "lazy" if I am not constantly doing something productive.... Thanks for the video Madisun :)
Hi! Can you show more of the organic products you use? I have been slowly transitioning to healthier options for myself and my kids but things like toothpaste and deodorant and such I am unsure about where to start.
Like you, I make something hot. Trying to lessen my coffee intake so I have been experimenting with mushroom "coffee", and ordered a bag of Dandelion tea to make a hybrid of something more nourishing. Thanks for the suggestion! I also try to absorb as much quiet as I can. Like you mentioned in another video, "without anyone else's input, no music, or podcasts" . Stretching, doing some post partum PT, even for 2 minutes. That is better than nothing.
Aren't the simplest routines and practices the most joyful though? Especially if doing it consistently is hard because of a particular season we're living in? Didnt happen this morning, when it does I will appreciate it more.
What's something you do for yourself in your morning routine? Lets add even more soul nourishment from our community in here! ✨I'll go first: I always do something creative like editing or writing for an hour in the peace and quiet.
My kid and I turn on the fire and sit in front of it and read. Not every morning but most. And when I have homemade sourdough we have toast with butter in front of fire. It’s pure magic! For myself personally, I’m not great at it but I have a cup of decaf coffee, a smoothie and my vitamins! Can’t wait to try some of these vitamins you discussed!
I heard California got a lot of snow. I was born in redlands, California. I'm beyond excited to visit family durling the summer. I live in Arkansas, we had a long winter here.
My morning routines changes depended the time my kids wake up. But I usually go in a little walk with the dogs early in the morning . Then do some yoga and after a little reading.
Sooo happy to see the notification of this video being posted ❤️ needed this inspo ✨️before my am yoga practice, I enjoy sipping hot tea and brushing my hair
love this video and the cabin!!!❤ I live in germany and it is pretty cold right now, so love the cozyness and the vibe. i try to rest on my acupressure mat every morning before work in the kindergarden and meditate for at least 10 minutes. afterwards i drink hot water with lemon. 😊
I know I keep saying the same thing but I love your videos. They make me feel soooo good! 💛☃️❄️🌨 What a lovely surprise from your husband, what a very cute house…perfect! I’m going to watch again as I’ve just come home from a busy day at our cafe. I make sure I always give so much love to people and appreciate my day, I keep my thoughts simple and abundant. Thank you for the constant reminder. ❤I wish your videos went on and on. 😅
Can you share meals that you cook for your family? I’m in the beginning of my journey and just did a pantry clean out and want to focus on more Whole Foods and scratch cooking! I have a 3 year old
I moved to the east coast of NC because the ocean is a balm to my soul and I wanted more of it, but I’m from western NC in the mountains and I have missed a proper winter. Perhaps it’s not too late for me to get a visit in before spring. We homeschool (pre-K and 1st grade) and my husband works from home, so we always have a slow morning together. I encourage our household to rise naturally and then we slowly wake up with snuggles, fix breakfast together, and read before getting dressed for the day. No rushing and no clocks.
I am from Northeast Tennessee and moved to SC when I got married. I miss those perfectly frozen winter mornings too. I usually end up home for Dogwood winter. I miss my mountains.
I get up and brush my teeth and wash my face every morning before doing anything else. My 1 year old knows it too and enjoys unloading my bathroom drawers while she waits 😂 But that little time for myself helps set me up for a good day ahead!
I’m new here, this is my third video of yours but I’m thoroughly enjoying every minute. Quick question that many regulars around here could probably answer but I thought you lived in Hawaii?? In this video I thought I heard you said you were here at this snowy cabin and only “an hour north from where you lived.” Was just wondering where this was or if you’re still living in Hawaii? ❤
Roll out of bed and drink a full pint of water as I unload the dishwasher and make coffee. I made a deal with myself that I can have a whole pot of coffee if I want but a pint of water first 😉 I get my first cup hot and the little kids know this then I make them breakfast and we slowly do the day with each other.
Hi there just discovered your channel❤. I can't stop watching all of your videos lol, but I am a bit confused In one of your videos I saw palm trees and this one there is snow, so im wondering if you live south or north? anyway, take care from québec xx
Wow 11 hours of sleep every night? I always wondered when people went to sleep back then because candle light and fires always make me sleepy. I have always been one to wake up automatically at 5:30 AM and people have found that to be weird (been doing it since I was 7, but I am 39 now). I always loved how much I got done in that time. Mmm Avocado toast is so delicious. Very cool that your kids are new to snow! How do they like it?
Since it's cold where I live, I get up and put on a pair of warm wool socks. I let the dogs out, feed them and then sit to plan my day. I see you use coconut oil for your face, but I can't stand coconut. Any other suggestions for a suitable substitute?
It’s so fun to see your kids playing in the fresh snow, especially for the first time! We live in the Midwest so 3 feet of snow piled everywhere is normal for us. It’s easy for us adults to get tired of the snow easily around here but it’s fun to watch kids be mesmerized by it every time, they are so precious❤
Thank you for your support, I mention in my course Q&A video I don’t plan on doing regular sales/deals. But I do have a payment plan option if you’d like 😘 th-cam.com/video/ohVI1qAY_xo/w-d-xo.html
“Everything is covered in powdered sugar” 😂 loved the coziness of this video. Would love to see a video about homeschooling from you. I’ve been thinking about that route for my kids. ❤
I homeschooled my kids. Best investment of my life I could have made during those years. It is rigorous and the rewards are huge. I hope you choose the path that is right for you and your family.
Slow living seems quite healing but what about the minimum finance that is required to maintain everything and everyone? How should we earn it if we want to have a slow living.
They did not get 11 hours of sleep, there has been extensive studies into sleeping and found that people with have two or three periods of sleep without artificial lights to extend their day but in total they slept about the same as we do normally 6-9 hours. Just google first and second sleep to learn more.
I guess I’m just one of those people whom hates waking up early? I really love my sleep.. for my job I have to get up around 6:45 am and I still always think “damn why are mornings so early” haha. I always prepare my mornings the night before so I can be ready to leave the door in 10 minutes.

You are so wise, and courageous .

Looks like a lovely break for you all. I also loved the pottery. Every piece is unique. The cabin was so gorgeous.
It was!

Well said ❤️

That is the cabin of my dreams! Snuggles and a couple books in the morning always sets us up well. Thanks for another amazing video, Madisun.
That cabin was the coziest thing. I love the idea of snuggles and books 🤎✨
Beautiful video. Thanks for sharing! Do you mind sharing what worship music you used? I loved it ❤
Such a wonderful time to spend with your kids. I love the snow. Still trying to get the simple life down. Getting rid of more things I don't need. Funny how you can get addicted to the declutter.
Very very beautiful vlog thanks you

I make my coffee and do my devotional with my cat on my lap. Thank you for your videos! They are a blessing to me. 😊
So sweet. Thank you 😘
This footage is so beautiful. Thank you for all of the Mountain View’s 😍

Wow this is so sweet thank you Jamie 😘
I really enjoy your videos!
What do your children do when you’re working?
Just binging old videos of yours while I clean! So thrilled to see the little bell and discover a new video by my favorite TH-camr ❤🎉
This is so sweet! Thank you so much! ☺
Your videos are so beautiful and add such a peaceful moment to my day!
Your videos are a such a beautiful piece of art 💕 the slowness is filling my soul.

I read devo or stoicism and get some sun on my face/body, love your outlook on life!
Lately I have hot cocoa in the mornings while I write a letter to a penpal.
My kid and I turn on the fire and sit in front of it and read. Not every morning but most. And when I have homemade sourdough we have toast with butter in front of fire. It’s pure magic!

Does anyone know the name of the song playing at the 3 minute mark? 💗
Cute video. ❤
Hey Madisun! Do you use sunscreen? I think it’s awesome you only use coconut oil on your face! Do you use it 2x a day?

Slow living seems quite healing but what about the minimum finance that is required to maintain everything and everyone?
How should we earn it if we want to have a slow living.
I always give me time to wake up slowly. Stress in the morning is so bad for me. I'm a other person without this time. 🤭
Good idea!
