I love how she spends one night in the camper and is like, "you did well, but we can do better"
She heard the "can of beans" remark LOL.
“She’s like a can of beans. You can put her anywhere.”
-Simone
"bag of beans" as in it'll mold itself to fit.
@@korenn9381 but you can use a can as a structural element
@@ezraclark7904 I'm sure you can, but that's not what she said.
When I heard that I thought her mom probably won't appreciate that AND then we 'met' her.
Mom is fine, she knows how you are. 🙃
@@korenn9381 listen to it again, she DID say a can of beans
Not me SOBBING during the big hug 😭😭😭😭❤️❤️❤️❤️
ikr same!!! 😭😭
Sobbing during the Lilla Mamma sign reveal
i felt that second squish too.
HEY RACHEL BESTIE AAA GLAD TO SEE U ENJOYING SIMONE'S CONTENT TOO
oh ok, so all the youtubers I watch also watch each other. Cool cool
I know no one is reading these comments 9 months after the video came out. But this is so freaking wholesome! Especially where Simone and mom are sitting in the trailer together and like, "Let's continue remodeling this trailer together as a family." Pure wholesomeness.
I am reading, and yes, it is wholesome
Me too. Just discovered her. Late to the party but better late than never....
Try over a year later, and I'm reading these comments. ❤
Im reading it after 10 months
Yep.
Even from the title I wasn’t expecting this to be so heartwarming
Cute
You thought someone seeing their mom after 2 years wasn't gonna be heartwarming?
@@Dexter26958 (s)he clearly did, it's just the extent of the heartwarmingness that was apparently surprising ^^
i am verklempt
Me too
"I've found a new process... It's just violence."
*gently taps with hammer*
Light violence (while keeping the dog in my lap happy)
@@simonegiertz You woke up that day and chose violence!
In the hardware world, we call that "percussive maintenance"
Scraps grew up in a workshop!
😂
“I figured out a process. It’s just violence.” An apt description of any reconciliation process with a mother.
it's the default human strategy
This was unexpected and cute.
"You beat brain cancer girl" made me laugh more than i should.
Good to see you dealing with it like this.
OMG Simone!! Your mom is amazing! I love that she just rolled up her sleeves and got to work. Happy you got to see each other again!!
Apple, tree, and all that jazz!
didn't know she was a fabricator
"Do you see where I get it from?"
I teared up a little.
@@user-vc5rp7nf8f She's not. She's just Swedish. We have to build our own furniture from age 5.
Her mom Caroline Giertzis is a very famous Swedish author and television presenter.
Honestly with Simone I've reached a point where I'll watch anything she makes regardless of the build. I just love the way she documents and talk about her process and her personality. Like the switch to more home project based videos has been nice and I still get excited to see a new upload everytime!
Thanks for sticking around 😊
@@simonegiertz oh, we'll stick around. Your openness, personality and nice builds ensures that we will...not to mention your rogues gallery (Scraps, Mom, Adam Savage and so forth) :)
Yeah, I love the transition from useless robots to useful home projects.
It's true. I haven't always liked the thing Simone builds but her personality wins me over every time.
Your video just showed up in my feed the other day. I watched one video and subscribed. Ive watched a few so far and absolutely love your videos.
Two things every mom does when they visit their adult child's home (or camper, in this case) for the first time: 1-check the water pressure, 2-point out something they don't like. At least your mom is both willing _and_ able to help you make the improvements. ;)
I feel that "Swinglish" is a great term for what you were doing with languages. It's fun to say, too. You and mom look so happy together.
It's better than what we have in the netherlands
Dunglish sounds awful both as a word and as a dialect XD
I think Swenglish makes more sense
i speak denglish and frenglish (english mixed with german (deutsch) or french) depending on who i talk to. 😅
We actually call it Svengelska in Sweden.
Meanwhile, Greeklish is an entirely different thing: it's when you write Greek with misused Latin characters. This exists because the Greek alphabet wasn't supported in electronics in the older systems.
The wholesomeness. 🧡
Queens collide. Please collab!
Through the roof !
Emmmyyyyyyy
I love her mom Swedish accent and I love the Swedish language 🥹🥰
I used to watch you Emmy!! ❤
"She is the human equivalent of a can of beans"
This is one of those sentences that you know at the moment you hear it for the first time, it will be staying with you for the rest of your life and ringing by your ears every time you see someone like it lol
Two hundred years from now, someone will look through old records to trace the origin of the commonly used expression "the human equivalent of a can of beans."
@@vigilantcosmicpenguin8721 You just made my little linguist heart so happy. With a side of time travel. 🤓
It should actually be a "bag" of beans, as the bag will adjust to fit most anywhere.
This is so nice! I literally started crying when you started working on the camper with your mom 😭
So true, and when they hugged at the airport, aaaand as her mum saw the lamp and was touched... 😂😭 So nice and wholesome ❤
Finally got to visit my mom after 2.5 yrs this past summer. Took my daughter on her first cross country road trip and we drove to Long Beach and stopped at all sorts of places along the way. I hugged my mom for a solid 5 minutes, and I cried too cause I’m a mamas boy. Best vacation ever.
That's so wonderful.
You're lucky to have each other...
God bless you and yours.
"Now you know where I get it."
Doesn't want to go to a museum, just wants to build.
Simone and Simom dual-build time?
In all seriousness, this video was adorable and heartwarming. I hope you and your mother had a great time for the visit!
Have faith in JESUS CHRIST as LORD and SAVIOR for HE SAVES from hell❗️
*What is the Gospel?*
The true gospel is the good news that God saves sinners. Man is by nature sinful and separated from God with no hope of remedying that situation. But God, by His power, provided the means of man’s redemption in the death, burial, and resurrection of the Savior, Jesus Christ.
Ephesians 2:8-9
For it is by grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of GOD, not a result of works, so that no one may boast.
Romans 10:9
9 because, if you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved.
JESUS CHRIST can come anytime!
Just Believe ❤️ Love you and GOD BLESS
simone vs mom vs adam competition?
Appreciate your mother, if you still have her.
This video was so awesome. I definitely understand where you get the 'screw it, Imma build a table' attitude from now :-D
omg it you, you have helped me with a ton of my enterprise projects
Craft Computing everywhere! y'all need to do a useless server build!
"Screw it, I'mma build a table" could really be Simone's slogan.
It all makes complete sense now 🥰

you literally make me feel like pursuing a career in engineering and STEM and tbh, the amount of serotonin I get from your videos is insane and it always lifts my mood. I just love your vibe, also glad you got to see your mom!
The amount of serotonin you get. lol, just don't pursue biology!
Im a mechanic and i have worked on all types of vehicles from diggers to race cars.
The feeling of fixing something is amazing
So true
"My decisions make no sense, but I'm having a good time."
THIS.
And you said hi to the dog first, so now I know you're my people ❤️
And where do I get a mom like this? She's delightful!
If I had to venture a guess, I would say in Sweden...
The more this went on the more the similarities became impossible to overlook. I love how she rocked up, adored your work and then almost straight away was like "ok here's what we're doing next"
And she was right too, that table space was definitely needed you cant have a camper with no where to play cards... what would you do if it rained and you were stuck indoors pre-laptop days?
Play cards on the bench? 🤷
TBH They are just called LapTops because they can sit on your lap but if you want them not to heat up your crotch then a table is a must.
I love how not only is Simone's mum so supportive of her career but also the inspiration for it. This is wholesome and sweet I love it so much
The best way to be supportive.
Her mom is an Author and TV presenter in Sweden.
The video I never thought I needed. Love that it turned into more than just "seeing mom for the first time in 2 years" but a moment were strangers get a slice of what true love between mother and daughter looks like. Thank you for all you do, Simone!
It is so wonderful that this beautiful project you were doing FOR your mom also ended up becoming a project you could do WITH your mom. It's just lovely.
I love that as soon as Simone's mom comes into town, she's like, "Screw touring LA. Let's build stuff!"
I think "making stuff" is a much more concentrated form of being together than "going places and looking at stuff" 🙂
i've seen l.a. traffic. theres arrival, and survival.

lol it's in the giertz DNA
I cried watching this cos I’m gonna get to see MY mum for the first time in two years next month ❤️
Build sth with here ;)
Ditto
@RELAX MUSIC It's horrible.
Not worth watching.
Congratulations! I hope you two have a great time together :)
I cried watching this because is so damn cute
I love that your mom comes to visit and is like "why is that couch there? Let's change it" that is awesome!
as a parent some of my fondest memories are when I've been able to share in what they are passionate about,. so I can totally understand why she would just want to build stuff with you instead of going site seeing. :-)
this is such a treat
Those who still have their mother are blessed. Well, mostly.
it was sweet seeing a part of simone's backstory
"My decisions make no sense, but I'm having a good time" ... it just speaks to me. I feel so seen :D
It sounds like the secret to happiness to me.
I find that I pretty much only have a good time when my decisions make no sense.
you probably won't see this but I appreciate the hammer and music were in sync at 2:37
Also this is just a really sweet video~ Seeing you and your mum wanting to just spend time building stuff is so heartwarming
This was the perfect way for you to reconnect. You could tell she was so impressed, and then immediately wanted to spend time with you by creating and building something together in the space you renovated for her.
I lost my mom during the pandemic and it's been an absolute nightmare. I'm not sure if I'll be able to make it through this whole video yet Simone, but I'm so happy for you and your mother. Treasure your precious time together
I am so sorry for your loss 💜
Sad. My mother committed suicide when i was 15, 68 years ago. I was at church.
💛💛
Oh so sad to hear. Hope you are fine.
That's really hard. A parent is a tough enough loss in normal times but must have been so much harder under pandemic restrictions. I don't know if this will help but, it does get easier. The grief finds its place and, while it will still be there, the pain of it lessens once it stops being so raw. Sending hugs.
8:46 I just realized that people have this sort of specific "I'm coming home and introducing someone I love to my living space" type of smile and I think it looks great on Simone.
Holy crap you’re right.
She looks adorable
Simone smiles so often and it's a different meaning every time. You love to see it.
That big hug with your mom... It got me sobbing cause that's what happened when I met my mom after two years. Just one looong hug to make up for the many hugs missing from two years
I come back and watch this video again every now and then because it's so loving and wonderful and makes me feel warm and fuzzy inside
I know the feeling. Hadn't met my father for two years and when we finally met last summer we spent three days building a deck. Working together is a great way of hanging out.
I think one of the main impotences in any relationship is focusing on a third thing.
It's not focusing on one person or the other, which can be really weird and ego inflating, but on the building and maintenance of something else. Whether it's physical or mental, it's something the people in a relationship can look back on and see what the relationship is capable of accomplishing through sustained endeavorence.
You and your dad can look back on your deck and see what both of you were able to do. And when the deck has aged and could use maintenance, you both can work on it again as you mainten your relationship... even if your dad might be older and slower than he used to be. He can still be there to keep you company, and help in whatever way you need.
And if you have kids, you can share that same maintenance in the future... Or a different one, as each relationship can have their own third thing to focus on.
Making a thing is far more meaningful than doing a thing.
“Give birth to me!” 😂😂😂
A lovely visit. So genuine and sweet. Love how Scraps is desensitized to loud tool sounds. And he and your sister-dog (his aunt) are pals. Very cute reno on the trailer. And so ambitious doing it in lass than a week before she arrived. “It’s a mother and child reunion!” 🎶🎶
That’s hilarious! I referred to her mother’s dog as Scrap’s auntie too 😂
And yes, they got along so well!
I nearly cried when you were hugging at the airport, so glad my mom moved to Denmark from the Faroe Islands so we can see each other every day now. Instead of once a year like we used to. As to talking to the dogs in two languages, imagine doing that with your kids like I do. My youngest only speaks danish, although she understands about 60% Faroese. And my oldest speaks both languages fluently. I get it mixed up constantly but it still works Lol. Love what you did to the camper! Love from Denmark
Your mom is awesome. She has style, comedy, a clear love for animals, and an inspiring will to build. I see where you get it from! You even sound alike. Thanks for the glimpse into your loving reunion
The satisfaction of being Simone's mom and knowing what an amazing human you've raised must be so wonderful.
No matter how innovative you become, a mom will always tell you that little thing you failed to do correctly. In other words, we cannot be our elders 😂 that dog at the airport though. It was so overwhelming.
gone yt
okay this was so wholesome but is nobody gonna talk about that amazing music sync-up at 12:17?
8:40 THE DOGE joining the group hug was so cute I teared up
Literally weeping as you reunite with your mom. Also I love love love that she wanted to build something because, to me, that clearly indicates that she only cared about spending time with you.
I genuinely teared up when you and your mum decided to skip the museums and build stuff together. Not when you met at the airport for the first time in 2 years. When you started ripping sh*t out. Tell me I'm not weird with my emotions, please? 🤔😂
That was also my favorite part! No fake bonding over art and cheap pasta. Just "hey, we should rip out that stupid useless couch and build a table!"
I had the exact same feeling, the airport was sweet but something about sharing an interest with your parent like that is so heartwarming
Millions of people have met their loved ones at the airport. Simone and her mom are possibly the only ones who can say they've torn down a couch in an old used trailer in order to replace it with a table.
I haven't seen my mom in a long time and when you hugged at the airport I couldn't help but cry, I miss my mom and you guys are so sweet
I love how you instantly turned into mamas daughter in the camper. You spoke so sweetly and showed her your work and you were nervous! And showing-parents-your-work-nerves never go away!!
awww simone this is so adorable. things like this make me feel lucky that ive been able to stay with my parents the last two years. I"m so happy youve been able to meet her again!! your mother must be so proud of you (like really, thats not sarcastic lol)
Sweetest comment 😊
My haters throw rocks at me and IT hurts. I hope they don't throw The Rock at me because I like him as an actor. GAGAGAGAGA!!! I am funny!!! I am the funniest TH-camr EVAH! Please agree, dear ov
gotta dump youtube sadly
Your Mom helping you tear out the bench, is the single most wholesome thing this year. Thank you for inviting us all to watch :), the world needed it.
Holy crap, this was possibly the most wholesome thing I have seen on the internet in awhile. Thank you for being awesome.
I love your mom! Just the mix of Swedish and English makes me think of my Swedish friends and she would fit right in with them.
Omg. I'm an Australian living in Denmark with my Danish husband and Danish kids. They have for years called me by the nickname "Lille Mor"!!! So I obviously felt an instant kinship with your mum.
Great renovation and so touching to see your reunion!
så hyggeligt!!
The hug in the trailer after the night light was so honest, and mum and daughter - I just... that was beautiful and we can all relate and thank you for sharing your mum with us ❤️.
It is pretty insane that i grew up watching det okända, being so used to your mom on tv, then fast-forward maybe 7 years and i find you in TH-cam and love your videos, then i think you mentioned something about your mom that made it click for me, the last name, and i was mindblown! What a small world!! And here she is, visit you and it's so nice and she reminds me a lot of my mom as well :) it's so nice that you kept working on the trailer together!
Simone has been one of my favorite people on the planet since I first learned of her. Now, her mother is added to that very short list. I loved this video so much.
This is the exact same relationship I have with my mom. She’s the person who comes to my house and wants to repaint my cabinets or build a table. I have absolutely seen her sawing trim in her PJs before. It’s so empowering to have a female role model who teaches you that you can build and shape your life into whatever you want.
02:34 Simone learns that violence is not the answer. It is a question and the answer is "yes".
You mom’s laugh is just the best. This video made me smile.
A year later, still find this video very emotional! The moment you're showing her sign you made - gosh, it gets me.
This is one of the most heartwarming videos I've watched in years. Your Mum is EXACTLY how I would have expected.
I know I've commented this on several of your videos and I'm probably dangerously close to coming off as an overly obsessed fan, but: you genuinely are my biggest inspiration in life nowadays. Keep doing life good!
She shouldn’t feel bad her mom came up with it. If you live in space, that’s when you see how stuff can be improved.
I told myself to prepare the emotional department for this but I still broke down and am still in tears full-blown sobbing. I haven’t seen my mom (or any of my family in about 5 and a half years; they are in Saipan and I am in Oregon) and this obviously got me. I am so beyond happy for you guys and I want to thank you for letting us experience some of this magic with you. Also although needless to say, the little camper came out beautifully! ❤️
I hope you can see your mum and family soon.
Okay, this was just delightful. So glad you get to see your mom after so long apart. And when she expanded the scope of your project I clapped with glee! Wonderful.
This made me miss my mom 10x more than I anticipated.
This made me miss my mom so much! She passed away a year ago and was always just wanting to do what I loved whenever I saw her. Didn't care about going and doing anything extravagant. This gave me lots of happy/sad feels.
The camper looks amazing!! She was so right about the seating!!
I am sorry for your loss. I lost my dad just prior to the COVID shut down, and it has had a huge impact in my life. What is remembered, lives.
I'm sorry for your loss. I lost my Dad in March and this video made me cry for the same reason! 💔😔
I totally understand, I lost my mother 2 years ago just a weak before Covid started being whispered about. I'm so sorry for your loss.
This video was very bittersweet for me too, but it felt nice seeing someone else reunite with their mother, and I get to experience that high vicariously. You can really tell from those tight hugs, their eagerness to work on a project together, and the playfulness between, that they share a deep wonderful love. I wish Simone and her mother every happiness.
This reminds me so much of when my dad came to town a few years ago. We had all these plans to go out and see stuff around town. What did he want to do? Help me demo a couple closets in my new house so we could build... well... what turned out to be a bigger closet. But it was still the most fun I'd had with my dad up to that point.
I miss my little mama so much. I hope you have many more years with your mama. Every moment is a gift.
This video is so wholesome in so many ways and for being 16 minutes long, it feels like so much longer from all the emotions that I get from watching it. Crying, smiling, laughing, all the good ones are present. You and your mom are super close and it shows (and is also so dang sweet to watch).
Simone, this made me cry. And this feeling that has occurred to me as a result of this video is exactly what I needed. You are a divine individual and inspiration.
I lost my mom in 2017. That long hug with your mom after two years had me teary. ♡ And you mom pitching right in...awesome. Love your mom.
Hannah, it will be 6 months for me now on the day tomorrow. And I can SOOO much relate...
I'm so sorry for your loss. I lost mine in 2010. That hug had me sniffling for sure.
My jaw dropped when I saw ur mom is Caroline!! I always used to watch "Det okända" when i was little and it freaked me out 😂 Such a crazy coincidence that I found your channel randomly and you've got such connections to Sweden!
I started crying from this video, it just reminds me of how much I love my parents.
Oh man, that hug at the airport, that's a tight hug you only save for these kinds of reunions. The entire weight of missing someone so dearly is carried in it. Simultaneously tense but releasing.
Yeah I'm crying.
omg this is such a treat. I love how mom comes and immediately starts demoing. What a wonderful family tree.
"Human equivalent of a can of beans" That is probably the damn coolest line I have ever heard.
This video made me miss my mom even more. She passed away March 1st 2020. Life has been tough since. You don't need me to tell you to cherish every moment you have with her. This video was amazing.
This was by far, the sweetest of your videos. Love how the first thing your mom wanted to do is to build something. Definetely daugther of your mother. Big hugs from the south
This was the most heart warming thing I have seen in a very long time. This is such a wonderful help and inspiration as your videos always are. I feel like your videos always help pull me out of whatever funk I'm in and this video especially.
idiots fallow
I'm watching "The Mind Explained" and I saw your interview. I knew who you were because I found your TH-cam channel a while ago. But I didn't know how or why you started this process until now. I stopped my show so I could find your latest video and tell you that I love your passion for failure. It is refreshing. As someone who can relate to your need for perfection during your school years and your later realization of how unhealthy such unrealistic self expectations are, I admire your courage in modeling gracious and unashamed failure and the humility and hilarity it offers to the next generation. Keep up the good (bad) work! ❤
Holy F'ing Sh!t!!!!!! You had a brain tumor! And that made you work harder?!?! You are amazing and I'm glad you are still with us! I hope you have a long, happy, healthy life from now on!
(Sorry, I just started rewatching the program and saw that! Wow!)
I love seeing such a wonderful relationship between a mom and child 💖
The fact that your mom came in and suggested that, and the you did it on the spot, together, is the sweetest most endearing thing I've ever watched. 😭💗
This was so heartwarming, and I love that the first thing you and your mom do when she comes to town is basically more crafting. And we got to find out that your craftiness comes from your mom! Maybe your dad, too, but he wasn't in this. 😋

Haven’t seen my parents in 3 years. This bright tears to me eyes
I loved seeing you and your mom work together. Thanks for bringing tears of joy to my eyes! You two are amazing people.
The relatability
How we all just become little kids seeking our parents approval 😂🙏🏻❤️
Your mother, it’s similar to my mom, she just has this thing where she can, in one glance humble me and remind me where I got “it” from!
Also, I love how Scraps and her…auntie (?) dog got on so well!
Such good babies!
What a calm dynamic.
You are definitely your mother’s daughter 🙏🏻
When you met your mom at the airport was so sweet. I have had similar experiences with being able to visit family. I'm not crying... you're crying 🥺🥺
I'm just here for the smiles. Thank you, Simone!
I love that your momma immediately grabbed the cushion and tossed it out the door. I definitely see where you get it. ❤️ Also, mom hugs are the best hugs.
In 2019 my job with an airline allowed me to fly my mother to the states. She’d not been back since 2006. I had been in highschool the last she’d seen me. None of her children had been married, and none of her grandchildren had been born. She’d also been very sick in the in between years and unable to travel. Sadly she’d lost her husband the year before.
13 years apart. And she was coming to my home.
I wound up on anxiety meds finally!
2019 wound up the perfect window of opportunity for it to happen. She got to hug my niece and nephew. Meet her son and daughter in-laws.
Hug her siblings!
I really feel for everyone that’s been kept apart for this time.
I hope we can all treasure the times we get to spend together while we can. We never know what will happen next.
Once again, you knocked every single project this entailed out of the park. You are such an inspiration to girls like my daughter, who (at 11) already knows she wants a science career.
Agreed! I’m currently a girl studying computer science in university and the lack of women in my classes can get discouraging sometimes. Hopefully by the time your daughter reaches this level of education things will be a bit more diverse, especially with the influence of people like Simone
She knocked it out of the trailer park... :)
This was so cute, I cried a lot. I just saw my mom after being stuck across the country for a few years from her :) it was great. Looks like you guys had a great time as well
This was such a great episode I can so see so much of your mom’s personality in you. I can’t wait to see what you come up with next.
This honestly brought me more joy than I’ve experienced in over a year. Thank you. I literally cried.
This reminds me of when I built a "cuddle curtain" to be able to hug my parents during the UK lockdowns. I was lucky that they lived close to me, but I didn't hug them for over a year and watching you finally be able to hug your mum again just brought all those memories back of when I finally was allowed to hug my parents again
Last year two of my classmates hugged through a curtain and I cried just looking at it. I Hadn’t hugged anyone in so long and lived away from my family, new place etc. Human contact is so important!!
You, your Mom, and the two dogs, too..are so wonderful..thanks for sharing !
i got tears in my eyes. You four (Mome, Simone, and both dogs) are so adorable!
And, again as usual, Simone makes a bland sounding topic into a heartwarming and hilarious video. Fantastic.
What a wonderful daughter you are! Your mom must be very proud of your brilliance and thoughtfulness!
Wot like forcing her mother to sleep in a camper van because she can't stand to be under the same roof as her? Yeah really wonderful 🙄😑😒🤨🙁
I don't usually shed tears watching your vids, but this one did me in. So happy to watch your reunion! And seeing the genesis of some of your drive, in the form of your Mom was wonderful. Thank you for sharing this part of you with us. Mike
Seeing people who have relationships like this with their parents are so lucky. I can’t relate, but it’s always nice to see
