As a kid, was outside all day in the spring and summer, riding bikes, running, digging in the backyard, looking for nice rocks, catching lightening bugs, rolling down hills., laying on my back and watching the white fluffy clouds. Finding the most colorful leaves in the fall, and ironing them with a warm iron, between sheets of waxed paper. Winter was building snow forts, snowmen, catching snowflakes on black paper, to see the beauty in each one. It was all magical. May the children of today enjoy all the beauty life has to offer.
I'm joying this video, brings back memories of growing up. I would roller skate around and around the block with my cousin as we were not permitted to go off the block then get our bikes and do that again then change and our friend got in the habit too.. was safe days then .and bless days..love u guys enjoy the gift of life..❤
Really enjoyed this. Please consider making this a series. Love you, girls! Thank you for being an inspiration and reminding us to take time outdoors and just be still.
The apple doesn't fall far from the tree. Matt taught you girls well how to fend for yourselves & survive in your circumstances. That roaring fire for the tea is a perfect example. I'm proud to be one of your many country cousins.
Thank you ladies for posting this. I am physically unable to get out and enjoy nature. Your videos make feel like I'm there with you. Brings back memories of when I was a child and went into the creek by my grandmas. You're both such a blessing.❤
The smoke is making me feel like I’m sitting across from y’all at a campfire! Thanks for this video. Really needed this today. God bless and be safe!❤️🙏🏻 when I grew up, I remember making an outline of a house with leaves in the fall. We had no cellphones nor internet. Grew up in 60s.
I love the sounds of the water in the background!! I love hot tea I drink that for breakfast a lot instead of coffee! We all need to make time foe reading Gods word! It give me strength to face each day! I love and pray for y’all.
My brother in law passed away unexpectedly this pass Thursday. He was only 50 years old. Please keep my sister in law, nephew and niece in your prayers. They are devastated. Thank you.
Ever since I started watching your channel, I've always felt like we're kin. Hot tea ☕ was a staple in all of my relatives homes. I drink many flavors, but Chamomile is my bedtime tea. One of my favorite childhood memories was when my friends and I would go on a hike. We'd pack our P.B.& J sandwiches 🥪, Kool-aid, and a blankets. We had a field across the street from where we lived that had tall weeds in it. We would pretend we were in the jungle. We used to build forts with big cardboard boxes and my brother also built a treehouse. Just being out in Nature is so refreshing. I enjoy all of your videos. But the outdoor videos with the sound of the creek are my favorites. Thank you for sharing your tea time outdoors Katie and Corie. Praying and Blessed! 🤗🙏💕🌄🍂
As a little girl, in the fall I used to love to rake a pile of leaves together and hide underneath them. The autumn smells; cold air and laundry drying on the line days were truly precious. 🍂
I found ya'll 3 yrs ago & then ya'll got lost in the shuffle. I found ya'll again yesterday & I'm binge watching! What a blessing from God you all are...especially during these trying times. I'm subscribing to your mom & dad's channel, also. Praying for all people affected by the hurricanes (fires...tornadoes..) Praying healing & help for all. My Mother's Daddy's folks were from Appalachia & I'm VERY PROUD of that! Love in Christ from AL.
Love it! Just took a gloriously beautiful walk in my picturesque Midwest forest after church time yesterday. Took photos & videos, praised God, hiked, & reflected, too. I also grew up enjoying being in nature. Yes, cousins/sisters in the Lord, there’s nothing quite like taking a break from busy responsibilities and heading out side into God‘s glorious nature! 🌸🥰💛God bless, keep, & encourage you all, too!🌿🌷🦋🐇🍁🍃🌅❤😊
Loved every bit of this video. Y'all keep doing videos, we'll keep watching. Many things you mentioned were a good reminder and good inspiration to me. Thank you both.
I’m so grateful for all my country cousins, we had so much fun in our younger days. We had a few old barns to play in, corn cob fights with boys against girls, all holidays spent together at our grandparents tiny home. My mom had 5 children. She also had 7 brothers and 2 sisters so we had lots of cousins to play with. So many precious memories.❤🙏
This was such a relaxing inspiring video after such a rough past week, its a good reminder that things wont always go your way, but we need to enjoy the moment and grateful for what we have! I grew up camping and this reminded me of those times with my cousins, loved being outside!
Yes I would love to see more videos of you guys Outdoors and it's so refreshing and so relaxing to me. thank you for sharing your day with us❤ I know you can't do it always because your mama's. thank you for the love and time that you do give us
Thanks Corey and Katie. enjoyed. My brother and myself explored the woods. We made ourselves an explorers flag and in the summer came home just before dark.
Hey country cousins!! This video brought back memories of my childhood home( and woods) in Cruso NC. I was the one who, upon coming home from school and changing clothes, headed to the woods to wander and imagine. Our ' house' was on a huge rock and the grapevines next to it were our stairs to the 'next level '. Lol So enjoy your talks AND lunch with y'all every now and then.😊
Hey, cousins! I've always been more rural at heart. My family moved around a lot when I was little. We lived in a couple of big major cities and a couple of very small towns. I much preferred the small towns because there were places where you could decompress and be totally surrounded by nature. Also, the culture was more faith and family oriented. Your channel has that feel, and I love it! Thanks, and God bless!
My family camped all summer. My Dad would come back and forth on weekends. We fished for most of our meals. The first two summers we had a 4 man tent but the last year we had a little trailer. I love tea! Builders Tea on Amazon is our favorite but we try it all. We use Manuka Honey. It has medicinal benefits and we use regular honey as well. Adding a slice of fresh ginger is good for you, too. Thanks for sharing the woods, the creek and the good conversation. There truly is a time for every season under heaven and your home looks like a little slice of heaven. 🙏
Great video! My brother and I played in the woods by a creek many moons ago. The sound of your creek brought back memories. I love all kinds of tea. God bless you and your family.
I use crystal ginger in my green tea with lemon. Sweeten with honey do raw stevia…I have grown the stevia plant. 2 crushed up leaves is all I needed sweeten my tea.
Definitely outside all day every day as a kid. We had to come up w/our own ideas and games and use our imagination. Drank from a hose and knew to come home when it was dark-and we SURVIVED!! Shocking, I know w/no internet!! Camping every summer and at the beach, rivers and lakes swimming all the time, I wouldn’t trade it for the world…the BEST memories☺️ Your channel is such a blessing❤️
Loved your video girls. You two are a chip off the old fire building block (your Dad.) The sound of the water is so soothing and I am loving the chance to see you girls outdoors. I live in Utah and where I am I can’t go into the mountains anymore this year SNOW! But it’s water and power so that’s a good thing. I love tea any, any kind, any where. ❤
I love the nature walks and all the peaceful sounds. As a girlscout and my daddy showing us girls how to build fires, placed a special memory in my mind🥰. Thank you cousins for sharing this awesome video💞
I loved this video ❤please do more . And I was blessed to be raised up in the country , on family land . I got to have horses 🐎 and have dogs , cats etc . I got to live on land that had been in my family since the 1800’s . In north GA . I love your channel thank you for being yourself, and being so positive ❤
Glad you too could take a nice relaxing breather out in the woods!! I really enjoyed watching! I spent a good bit of time in the woods across from my house as a kid...Exploring all around...We lived in a subdivision in the suburbs outside of DC and the houses across from us backed right up to deep woods...My brothers built and lean-two and spent the night there...A nice hot tea is enjoyable, that twig stove is adorable and handy! Thanks Jessomae and Haseltine!!!
I have found you. I love ya'll. I live in the country in Monroe NC. I have such anxiety. I can't go to church or any places that have a lot people. I love your teaching of the Bible sooooooo much! Thanks for your scripture reading. I feel like I'm in church❤
I loved this style of video! It was very creative. Loved hearing the crunch of the leaves and the different sounds of the creek. Loved watching the little stove come to life and boil the water for your tea. I enjoy hot tea at times, no favorite though. The 5 of us kids were very outdoorsy while living in Way cross, Georgia where 4 of us were born. Our specialty was tree climbing. We played softball, hopscotch, red rover, hide and go seek, rode our bikes, skated on the sidewalks, went berry picking, fishing, and trick or treating. We, also, loved playing in the dirt with toy trucks & cars. In the summers we visited our grandparents who lived on 20 acres in Tampa, Florida, with a creek that ran the length of the property. We climbed their trees and explored the creek area. Those were the good old days for me❣️
Was fun to see your hair and headbands the same.😊 I find water to be very therapeutic. I enjoy boating and canoeing but don't get to do it often, and going for a walk in the dusk of the day.Nice to visit with y'all.
I grew up in the country we lived by my grandparents, so we had a lot of stuff to explore. The creek, climbing trees, running through corn it was great, now I live where my husband grew up in the country and it is wonderful to look at the trees sitting in the swing. I am so very thankful everyday to God for giving me the country and the seasons also good friends like you girls and your family love yall God bless
I'm 72 and this made me think about some of my favorite memories as a child. We lived on a small lake when I was 7,8 and we would walk around the lake. Part of the walk was through a small woods. On Sunday after church our neighbor would take us for an adventure in the larger woods, pointing out plants etc. and then he would build a tiny fire and heat a couple cans of soup right in the cans for a bit of a snack. My brother and I built small forts out of dead branches. There was a very friendly St Bernard that liked to accompany us on our adventures. It was an absolutely wonderful time of my childhood. I could go on and on about living at the lake. God bless you ladies and your beautiful family.
When I was a kid we stayed outside until the street lights came on at night. LOL Then we'd catch lightening bugs!! This was a GREAT video. I LOVED it!! We had a front porch swing when I was a kid, and when it would rain, I'd get a blanket and go outside to sit on the swing to listen to it. Times were so simple and life was so good. The "good ole days". I am now 62...still LOVE being outside. God Bless Ya'll.
Really enjoyed this video & hope y’all do more like it. It was so relaxing for me to watch you girls make your fire & enjoying your tea with the peaceful sound of the stream. If I can’t do it, the next best thing is watching y’all enjoying the woods & nature. Hope to see more of these type of videos.
Well good morning my beautiful cousins!!! I love hanging out with y'all!!!! And just like you guys, me and my cousins used to play outside all the time. We would play in the sawdust pile at our Grandpa's sawmill, and just have all kinds of adventures. And yes, I love these kinds of videos and can't wait to see more of them❤
❤thank you dearest country cousins. LL west coast ❤sending lots of good positive powerful thoughts 💭 Thee Word ❤loves. Hugs 🤗Love getting outside in native nature as often as possible several times daily when accessible! Many types of organic tea 🍵 ☕️ 🫖 including chicory root dandelion root❤🥬 🍁🍃Our Father’s the best gardener!
I have the same stove. You can burn fairly thick branches once the fire is lit, by putting them in on the side unbroken (up to 12" long or more) 2-3 at a time, and as they burn push them in further and further. Hope this makes sense! It's hard to explain, but it makes the whole thing so much more efficient. Thanks for taking me along cuz.
Thanks for bringing us along. Its not always about what you originally went out there for. Just getting away from the rut of daily life and enjoying nature. One of my best memories was taking my daughter hunting with me. While we didn't see a deer that day sitting in the tree stand, we did enjoy the peace and tranquility of nature. We particularly enjoyed watching the fox squirrels playing on a tree near by. And watching a pocket gopher tunneling under the ground in front of us. Popping his head out for a couple minutes every once in awhile. Then moving back underground headed to his next spot. The important things aren't always the biggest things. Thanks for sharing your trip. Country cousins it is. Peace and happiness to your family always.
That stove is the cutest little thing!! And the cup set, so neat! Me and Bennett love herbal tea and have quite the stash. Yes, this fall weather is crazy how warm it still is here this late in the year!
We had a very small creek in a nearby park we loved playing in after a rain & we also liked the sheet tents. Loved the stove & watching you boil water & make your tea! Can't wait for another with your larger stove & some cookin'! Luv ya cuzzins! :)
All of us old folks that grew up in the 60`s were outside most of the time, No need to stay inside, only had 3 or 4 channels on the black and white tv, there were no cell phones, computers, video games. We would walk to school, and walk home from school, and if you lived close enough to the school, you could walk home to eat lunch ( toasted peanut butter sandwich and tomato soup) I really miss those days, growing up in the 60`s.
I remember the blizzard of 1978. I lived in a northwestern suburb of Boston, and the world just stopped and it was so quiet. People walked everywhere, we shared our milk, our beer, our food. It was both a terrible and wonderful time.
Thanks for inviting us to your woodland tea party! Since I’m old enough to be your grandma, I would be your great auntie! Growing up in the 60’s I was always outside riding my bike. I loved walking in the woods especially in the fall.
Thanks for letting us join in your tea party❤. It is beautiful. Yes teas are good and good for you. I like the organic loose herbal teas I’ve always tried to be active and it does help clear the mind Y’all are cool 😎. Do fry bread ❤❤❤
I grew up playing in the fields and trees with my friends....outside all the time in every season...I know we tried to have fires in old cast iron stoves, but i don't remember having much success. I like green tea with jasmine flowers in it, but I am mainly a coffee drinker.
I've used "It tastes like the barn smells" to describe nettle tea specifically, that's hilarious! I'm glad someone else understands the taste! This whole video felt comforting and familiar. I also grew up playing in the woods and just last week I put together the "winter car bags". I live north of you but I love learning where my experience has been the same and different from people from other parts of the country 💛💛
We ran bare footed all summer long. We went outside before dew off grass we stayed out until lightening bugs came out and dew started falling again. We built forts in woods. We made mud pies. We fished in pond. Was not lucky enough to have creek in yard. Thank you cuz for being there for us. You are a blessing. I think am cousin on moms side
I was lucky enough to grow up with a woods behind our house that was our grandfather's property. The woods wasn't particularly thick with brush, lots of towering pinetrees. A huge oak tree that had fallen on its side with branches for jumping on and swinging and hiding behind! The best thing was a little creek that snaked through the woods .My brother and l laid in it, damned it up, caught minnows and crawdads made pretend campfires and fairy houses with rocks and acorn lids. You really stired up some good memories🫒🌻🍁🍂
I am the youngest of 5 & there is 7 years between me & the next to youngest, so my siblings were older as I was growing up. But I loved playing w matchbox cars outside w my brother around the base of a huge pine tree. The roots of the tree were roadways & houses (man, it was such fun!)! My oldest brother (13 year difference), was a photographer & had a whirlwind thought to trade his camera for a huge boat ( sight unseen!😳), needless to say, it was a bad decision…. But I ended up w the coolest boat that I played on every day!!😂 Your Dad would love to know that I still own my “cane pole” that my Dad took me fishing with! Thanks for another fantastic video, you made me remember things I had forgotten about!
What a cute little stove. Perfect for taking into the woods on a little hike. I've never seen a little stove like it before. I don't do any camping or hiking anymore, but watching this video reminded me of when we did quite a bit of both. Back then a little stove like that would have been nice, better than our Coleman stove, although at the time I loved our Coleman gear. My dad taught me to have an emergency survival kit in my car at all times. An assortment of things I would need to stay alive; too many to list them all here. During the blizzard in 1978 I was very glad I had it. Thanks for your videos.
Great video ladies! I grew spearmint last summer in a big pot on my deck. I harvested it off and on all summer and dehydrated it as I went and then of course kept it in jars. I've been making it this fall with just a tiny pinch of stevia and it has been so, so good. I actually have a little stove like you have, but I'm not going to lie, even though I know you guys know what you're doing, it makes me super nervous watching this that you're building a fire with it amongst all those dry leaves. Not criticizing at all, it just makes ME nervous 😅
Oh this was a fabulous video! I loved it and would be interested in seeing more. Your little twig stove is really cool Katie. I love hot tea and I wish I could have been there with you sweet gals. You’re both great mommies and you definitely need to always take time for your selves. I wish I had a sister to share time with. Always treasure each other. I love outdoors and I played in the woods as a child too.
What’s so funny, I made myself cinnamon tea and turned you on. So, I had tea as well. Love your creek and I love you both. Your channel is very uplifting for me. 🙏❤️
I love hot teas, my favorite is celestial seasonings bengal spice. It’s very warm and vanilla Cinnamonish-it’s also good with a splash of cream. Or with honey , or with out anything extra. You’ll have to make some of this for your momma, it smells like Christmas and fall all at the same time. Nothing like a barn 😆! You can get it for about 3$ at a grocery store.
I love tea with honey and creamer. Black tea bags. I buy Lipton tea bags. I love to sit outside on my deck and get fresh air, drink my tea and watch the wild animals and hear them make their beautiful sounds. I also love to hear the rooster next door.🩷🩷 God bless you both, your beautiful sons and family.
When I was a kid we all played outside but all the time. We made huts and hideouts between bushes. Made mud pies. That was a lot of fun in the day. Didn’t have a TV yet. Just good old fun. And I love tea. Green tea flavored in elderberry.
The smoke and the steam from your tea added to the fall feeling like the leaves falling n your pumpkin video. You have the ASMR effect down well. It was a thoughtful video and ls like being with family just like the eat with you ones. L too was outside all the time growing up.
I grew up in the woods too with a creek that ran a horseshoe shape around my parents house I could hear the creek year round calling to me asking me to come play in it, i didn’t have any siblings living and the only friend I had wasn’t close enough to come over so I played all by myself. I love this kinda content in fact the last 2 or 3 videos have been great the fall colors the drive through the country, my area is a whole lot like yours as I live in the hills too cept that I have a 10,786 foot mountain in my back yard and by my backyard I mean 22 miles away from my house
I absolutely love being outside and fall is my favorite time of the year🍂🍁 When I was a kid me and my sister were always outside. It didn't matter what kind of weather we were having. We'd make mud soup using water, dirt, and grass. Sticks were our utensils. I really miss those days, and having a child's imagination. I seen a book on Amazon called 100 Games to Play with a Stick and thought about buying it for my sister😁
Awesome video, I’m a lot older than you ladies but I sure wish I could have joined you there. I grew up in north Georgia in the foothills. I miss being close to the mountains. Love you girls, God bless you and your family. Granny Pam, Alabama
When I was a kid we lived on a cul-de-sac but there was some property that wasn't developed that had a grove of scrub oaks on it. All us kids would climb trees, play kickball, ride our bikes. We had a yellow dirt bank that we got out our Tonka trucks and played in the dirt with them. I made a fort out of a large cardboard box in our backyard and played cowboys and Indians or soldier. I bugged my daddy for a pony even though we lived on a small lot I got one. Between the pony and my swimming pool I got to be pretty popular with the kids in my neighborhood.
Yes, I’m totally into this outdoor campfire video vibe, keep ‘em coming please! ❤ (also yes - I love a strong cup of whatever tea I am having. I like a good distinct flavor. Watered down tea is meh.)
Enjoyed the video ladies. Thank you for taking us along. Growing up we would go fishing and camping and have campfire and wiener roasts and marshmallows. When I went with my one grandparents to west Virginia go rock hunting in the river behind the house. We would sit on the porch at night neighbors would come by and talk. Then when we got to come down to my other grandparents in Tennessee. Where we live now. Loved the animals got to drive the tractors and also sit on the porch and talk. Every year there would be family reunions. Lol wish at times could go back to that time. Here lately so much anxiety and worry. Take care friends 🧡 God bless. Also ladies my wife was wanting to know the Etsy shop you get your head scarfs at.
As a kid, was outside all day in the spring and summer, riding bikes, running, digging in the backyard, looking for nice rocks, catching lightening bugs, rolling down hills., laying on my back and watching the white fluffy clouds. Finding the most colorful leaves in the fall, and ironing them with a warm iron, between sheets of waxed paper. Winter was building snow forts, snowmen, catching snowflakes on black paper, to see the beauty in each one. It was all magical. May the children of today enjoy all the beauty life has to offer.
Beautiful description of a childhood that reminds me of my own, right here in the suburbs of Cleveland! ❤
Watching my grandkids grow up in the suburbs of Columbus, OH!
Thank you girls you bring a little peace and happiness to an old man's heart!!!!
Drinking cold water out of the garden hose while outside playing! Too busy to stop & go inside for water. LOL
I'm joying this video, brings back memories of growing up. I would roller skate around and around the block with my cousin as we were not permitted to go off the block then get our bikes and do that again then change and our friend got in the habit too.. was safe days then .and bless days..love u guys enjoy the gift of life..❤

Thanks for watching, we used to do that snake thing with rocks 😁
I love the sounds of the water in the background!! I love hot tea I drink that for breakfast a lot instead of coffee! We all need to make time foe reading Gods word! It give me strength to face each day! I love and pray for y’all.
My brother in law passed away unexpectedly this pass Thursday. He was only 50 years old. Please keep my sister in law, nephew and niece in your prayers. They are devastated. Thank you.
Saying prayers. I'm so very sorry.
God Bless
What a lovely, peaceful video. Thanks for sharing ❤

Love this country cousins ❤️ 💙 and how cute by the creek and hot tea in nature 😍
I have found you. I love ya'll. I live in the country in Monroe NC. I have such anxiety. I can't go to church or any places that have a lot people. I love your teaching of the Bible sooooooo much! Thanks for your scripture reading. I feel like I'm in church❤
Thank you and welcome friend, and praying for your anxiety 🙏
I loved this style of video! It was very creative. Loved hearing the crunch of the leaves and the different sounds of the creek. Loved watching the little stove come to life and boil the water for your tea. I enjoy hot tea at times, no favorite though. The 5 of us kids were very outdoorsy while living in Way cross, Georgia where 4 of us were born. Our specialty was tree climbing. We played softball, hopscotch, red rover, hide and go seek, rode our bikes, skated on the sidewalks, went berry picking, fishing, and trick or treating. We, also, loved playing in the dirt with toy trucks & cars. In the summers we visited our grandparents who lived on 20 acres in Tampa, Florida, with a creek that ran the length of the property. We climbed their trees and explored the creek area. Those were the good old days for me❣️
I love any thing you come up with, by the way Corie, I made your rolls yesterday and they turned out delicious!
Glad you like them!
Was fun to see your hair and headbands the same.😊 I find water to be very therapeutic. I enjoy boating and canoeing but don't get to do it often, and going for a walk in the dusk of the day.Nice to visit with y'all.
Thanks for stopping by 😁
Hi cousins, I grew up on a farm in Kentucky. I am glad to have you as my kin. 🥰❤❤
I grew up in the country we lived by my grandparents, so we had a lot of stuff to explore. The creek, climbing trees, running through corn it was great, now I live where my husband grew up in the country and it is wonderful to look at the trees sitting in the swing. I am so very thankful everyday to God for giving me the country and the seasons also good friends like you girls and your family love yall God bless
I'm 72 and this made me think about some of my favorite memories as a child. We lived on a small lake when I was 7,8 and we would walk around the lake. Part of the walk was through a small woods. On Sunday after church our neighbor would take us for an adventure in the larger woods, pointing out plants etc. and then he would build a tiny fire and heat a couple cans of soup right in the cans for a bit of a snack. My brother and I built small forts out of dead branches. There was a very friendly St Bernard that liked to accompany us on our adventures. It was an absolutely wonderful time of my childhood. I could go on and on about living at the lake. God bless you ladies and your beautiful family.
When I was a kid we stayed outside until the street lights came on at night. LOL Then we'd catch lightening bugs!! This was a GREAT video. I LOVED it!! We had a front porch swing when I was a kid, and when it would rain, I'd get a blanket and go outside to sit on the swing to listen to it. Times were so simple and life was so good. The "good ole days". I am now 62...still LOVE being outside. God Bless Ya'll.
Really enjoyed this video & hope y’all do more like it. It was so relaxing for me to watch you girls make your fire & enjoying your tea with the peaceful sound of the stream. If I can’t do it, the next best thing is watching y’all enjoying the woods & nature. Hope to see more of these type of videos.
I love both of you girls and your family.🙏❤️🩷💯
Well good morning my beautiful cousins!!! I love hanging out with y'all!!!! And just like you guys, me and my cousins used to play outside all the time. We would play in the sawdust pile at our Grandpa's sawmill, and just have all kinds of adventures. And yes, I love these kinds of videos and can't wait to see more of them❤
❤thank you dearest country cousins. LL west coast ❤sending lots of good positive powerful thoughts 💭 Thee Word ❤loves. Hugs 🤗Love getting outside in native nature as often as possible several times daily when accessible! Many types of organic tea 🍵 ☕️ 🫖 including chicory root dandelion root❤🥬 🍁🍃Our Father’s the best gardener!
Cheers! to The Pressley Girls. helped save my life, on God, Thank you
Great video Katie and Corrie thanks for sharing 👍👍👍🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Wonderful words of wisdom 💚
Fall is my favourite time of the year! The transition from fall to winter is marvellous!🙏🇨🇦❤️
I have the same stove. You can burn fairly thick branches once the fire is lit, by putting them in on the side unbroken (up to 12" long or more) 2-3 at a time, and as they burn push them in further and further. Hope this makes sense! It's hard to explain, but it makes the whole thing so much more efficient. Thanks for taking me along cuz.
That makes perfect sense! Thanks for sharing 😁
Enjoy these calming videos outside , you girls live in a beautiful place.
I’ll be your country cousin, as i’ve already adopted your granny and your whole family ❣️ Thank you both for sharing
Thanks for bringing us along. Its not always about what you originally went out there for. Just getting away from the rut of daily life and enjoying nature. One of my best memories was taking my daughter hunting with me. While we didn't see a deer that day sitting in the tree stand, we did enjoy the peace and tranquility of nature. We particularly enjoyed watching the fox squirrels playing on a tree near by. And watching a pocket gopher tunneling under the ground in front of us. Popping his head out for a couple minutes every once in awhile. Then moving back underground headed to his next spot. The important things aren't always the biggest things. Thanks for sharing your trip. Country cousins it is. Peace and happiness to your family always.
That stove is the cutest little thing!! And the cup set, so neat! Me and Bennett love herbal tea and have quite the stash. Yes, this fall weather is crazy how warm it still is here this late in the year!
Yall are the best country cousins! Love to ya and the fam! 💕 🫖
Yes they are! 🙂🙏
We had a very small creek in a nearby park we loved playing in after a rain & we also liked the sheet tents. Loved the stove & watching you boil water & make your tea! Can't wait for another with your larger stove & some cookin'! Luv ya cuzzins! :)
All of us old folks that grew up in the 60`s were outside most of the time, No need to stay inside, only had 3 or 4 channels on the black and white tv, there were no cell phones, computers, video games. We would walk to school, and walk home from school, and if you lived close enough to the school, you could walk home to eat lunch ( toasted peanut butter sandwich and tomato soup) I really miss those days, growing up in the 60`s.
That sounds so nice ❤️
Oh yes take me back to the 60s and 70s no cell phones no computers, I always stayed out side and it was so fun
@@sandraworthington7743 Plus, we had the best music.
@ yep
I remember the blizzard of 1978. I lived in a northwestern suburb of Boston, and the world just stopped and it was so quiet. People walked everywhere, we shared our milk, our beer, our food. It was both a terrible and wonderful time.
Thanks for inviting us to your woodland tea party! Since I’m old enough to be your grandma, I would be your great auntie! Growing up in the 60’s I was always outside riding my bike. I loved walking in the woods especially in the fall.
What a beautiful video, yes please do more of this type! We here at our farm live much the same
Blessings,
Allison 🧑🌾🐓🌻
Hey girls. I love the woods and mountain streams!👀❤️
Thanks for letting us join in your tea party❤. It is beautiful. Yes teas are good and good for you. I like the organic loose herbal teas I’ve always tried to be active and it does help clear the mind Y’all are cool 😎. Do fry bread ❤❤❤
I grew up playing in the fields and trees with my friends....outside all the time in every season...I know we tried to have fires in old cast iron stoves, but i don't remember having much success. I like green tea with jasmine flowers in it, but I am mainly a coffee drinker.
I've used "It tastes like the barn smells" to describe nettle tea specifically, that's hilarious! I'm glad someone else understands the taste! This whole video felt comforting and familiar. I also grew up playing in the woods and just last week I put together the "winter car bags". I live north of you but I love learning where my experience has been the same and different from people from other parts of the country 💛💛
We ran bare footed all summer long. We went outside before dew off grass we stayed out until lightening bugs came out and dew started falling again. We built forts in woods. We made mud pies. We fished in pond. Was not lucky enough to have creek in yard. Thank you cuz for being there for us. You are a blessing. I think am cousin on moms side
I was lucky enough to grow up with a woods behind our house that was our grandfather's property. The woods wasn't particularly thick with brush, lots of towering pinetrees. A huge oak tree that had fallen on its side with branches for jumping on and swinging and hiding behind! The best thing was a little creek that snaked through the woods .My brother and l laid in it, damned it up, caught minnows and crawdads made pretend campfires and fairy houses with rocks and acorn lids. You really stired up some good memories🫒🌻🍁🍂
I am the youngest of 5 & there is 7 years between me & the next to youngest, so my siblings were older as I was growing up. But I loved playing w matchbox cars outside w my brother around the base of a huge pine tree. The roots of the tree were roadways & houses (man, it was such fun!)! My oldest brother (13 year difference), was a photographer & had a whirlwind thought to trade his camera for a huge boat ( sight unseen!😳), needless to say, it was a bad decision…. But I ended up w the coolest boat that I played on every day!!😂 Your Dad would love to know that I still own my “cane pole” that my Dad took me fishing with! Thanks for another fantastic video, you made me remember things I had forgotten about!
🍂🌿🌳🌲This was so sweet!🍂🌿🌳🌲
What a cute little stove. Perfect for taking into the woods on a little hike. I've never seen a little stove like it before. I don't do any camping or hiking anymore, but watching this video reminded me of when we did quite a bit of both. Back then a little stove like that would have been nice, better than our Coleman stove, although at the time I loved our Coleman gear. My dad taught me to have an emergency survival kit in my car at all times. An assortment of things I would need to stay alive; too many to list them all here. During the blizzard in 1978 I was very glad I had it. Thanks for your videos.
Love todays video. I’m unable to get out in the woods like I used to so this was a treat. 💕
Glad you enjoyed it 😁
Great video ladies! I grew spearmint last summer in a big pot on my deck. I harvested it off and on all summer and dehydrated it as I went and then of course kept it in jars. I've been making it this fall with just a tiny pinch of stevia and it has been so, so good. I actually have a little stove like you have, but I'm not going to lie, even though I know you guys know what you're doing, it makes me super nervous watching this that you're building a fire with it amongst all those dry leaves. Not criticizing at all, it just makes ME nervous 😅
Love this video!!! Y'all always seem to post a video that is exactly what I need to see/hear!
Oh this was a fabulous video! I loved it and would be interested in seeing more. Your little twig stove is really cool Katie. I love hot tea and I wish I could have been there with you sweet gals. You’re both great mommies and you definitely need to always take time for your selves. I wish I had a sister to share time with. Always treasure each other. I love outdoors and I played in the woods as a child too.
What’s so funny, I made myself cinnamon tea and turned you on. So, I had tea as well. Love your creek and I love you both. Your channel is very uplifting for me. 🙏❤️
I’m with your mom, my tea has to be iced even in the winter!
I love hot teas, my favorite is celestial seasonings bengal spice. It’s very warm and vanilla Cinnamonish-it’s also good with a splash of cream. Or with honey , or with out anything extra. You’ll have to make some of this for your momma, it smells like Christmas and fall all at the same time. Nothing like a barn 😆! You can get it for about 3$ at a grocery store.
We’ll have to see if she likes it 😅
I really enjoyed this video. Beautiful nature, words of reflection. All good. God bless.
I love tea with honey and creamer. Black tea bags. I buy Lipton tea bags. I love to sit outside on my deck and get fresh air, drink my tea and watch the wild animals and hear them make their beautiful sounds. I also love to hear the rooster next door.🩷🩷 God bless you both, your beautiful sons and family.
Hi girls!!! Your dad taught you well!! Love your videos.
When I was a kid we all played outside but all the time. We made huts and hideouts between bushes. Made mud pies. That was a lot of fun in the day. Didn’t have a TV yet. Just good old fun.
And I love tea. Green tea flavored in elderberry.
The smoke and the steam from your tea added to the fall feeling like the leaves falling n your pumpkin video. You have the ASMR effect down well. It was a thoughtful video and ls like being with family just like the eat with you ones. L too was outside all the time growing up.
First time seeing you. Sweet, cute, humble. Delightful.
I love all the hot tea pretty much!!❤
I grew up in the woods too with a creek that ran a horseshoe shape around my parents house I could hear the creek year round calling to me asking me to come play in it, i didn’t have any siblings living and the only friend I had wasn’t close enough to come over so I played all by myself.
I love this kinda content in fact the last 2 or 3 videos have been great the fall colors the drive through the country, my area is a whole lot like yours as I live in the hills too cept that I have a 10,786 foot mountain in my back yard and by my backyard I mean 22 miles away from my house
Looks like a perfect day. I been deer hunting with my husband today.the weather has been great here in KY too.
We had the same upbringing. We used to play store and used leaves as money.
You are sweethearts, that's what you are! Stay safe!
That photo of you two in the thumbnail is awesome! ❤
Love it! When you first came on, I couldn't tell you apart lol
I absolutely love being outside and fall is my favorite time of the year🍂🍁 When I was a kid me and my sister were always outside. It didn't matter what kind of weather we were having. We'd make mud soup using water, dirt, and grass. Sticks were our utensils. I really miss those days, and having a child's imagination. I seen a book on Amazon called 100 Games to Play with a Stick and thought about buying it for my sister😁
Hanging out down by the crick!!!
Awesome video, I’m a lot older than you ladies but I sure wish I could have joined you there. I grew up in north Georgia in the foothills. I miss being close to the mountains. Love you girls, God bless you and your family.

When I was a kid we lived on a cul-de-sac but there was some property that wasn't developed that had a grove of scrub oaks on it. All us kids would climb trees, play kickball, ride our bikes. We had a yellow dirt bank that we got out our Tonka trucks and played in the dirt with them. I made a fort out of a large cardboard box in our backyard and played cowboys and Indians or soldier. I bugged my daddy for a pony even though we lived on a small lot I got one. Between the pony and my swimming pool I got to be pretty popular with the kids in my neighborhood.
Yes, I’m totally into this outdoor campfire video vibe, keep ‘em coming please! ❤ (also yes - I love a strong cup of whatever tea I am having. I like a good distinct flavor. Watered down tea is meh.)
Yes smelling like a barn hahahaha….that is kind of how I feel about green tea. It tastes like front lawn hahahah
😅
Enjoyed the video ladies. Thank you for taking us along. Growing up we would go fishing and camping and have campfire and wiener roasts and marshmallows. When I went with my one grandparents to west Virginia go rock hunting in the river behind the house. We would sit on the porch at night neighbors would come by and talk. Then when we got to come down to my other grandparents in Tennessee. Where we live now. Loved the animals got to drive the tractors and also sit on the porch and talk. Every year there would be family reunions. Lol wish at times could go back to that time. Here lately so much anxiety and worry. Take care friends 🧡 God bless. Also ladies my wife was wanting to know the Etsy shop you get your head scarfs at.
Sometimes I get confused as to who is Corie and who is Katie? 🤣 You two, like your Mom and Dad are such a joy to watch. 👏
😁
The smoke keeps following me. Lol ,great video .
