Bonnie, the shell display looks great as does the fireplace trim! Your honesty about life is heartwarming. I could never do what you and Joel do. Thank you for putting yourselves out there. 🥰
Bonnie I love your laughter! As I started watching your channel a while back, it is so apparent that you and Joel are raising 4 young adults who are kind, considerate, helpful and have manners! As empty nesters, we raised our son and daughter the same way. They recently visited us and I can’t tell you how happy it made me feel to hear them having adult conversations, laughing, and planning meeting up with each other in the near future. They are truly friends as adults and enjoy each others company. That doesn’t always happen. And what’s with the SNOW??????
You’re like a second mom to me my family is very toxic and you just feel like a breath of fresh air and you make me feel so at home and im so grateful for you and your family Olivia is close to my age and she is truly such a sweet girl and I love her sm you’re 3 boys give me hope in the future generation love you guys sm god bless
That trim looks great on the fireplace! And the views from the house are stunning! I have been watching these videos since Lincoln was born, pretty much 😛 Keep going 😍
Oh Bonnie, seeing my comment pop up on your video made me burst into tears! You made my jaw drop… And this came on the day you talked about the cookbook on insta stories where I just bawled with you about it. Things are so tender anymore, you get it…. You truly feel like my best friend/older sister/auntie that I never had and I’m so blessed to know that it’s mutual 😭 You really have helped me keep my head on straight these past 9.5 years and I’ll forever be thankful. I can’t wait to give you a big hug one day! Sending love from Atlanta like always 🤍 Give Lady a treat for me!
The peace I feel when watching, and the hope I have as I'm expecting - that I can be the mom my kiddos deserve despite circumstances. It hasn't been an easy road, and I also have such beautiful hope in marriage seeing you and Joel - just simply loving each other, picking on each other in love, gah it's so beautiful. Thank you for sharing your life with us, you give such hope and light. From 5 min videos, to 30 min videos - I get so excited seeing you post.
I just have to say what a gorgeous couple you are! You have always been good looking, but dang, the embracing of your natural hair look has made you both look younger than you already look. On a side note, I never get over the phenomenal views out of your windows. Between your well built and loved home and the views, you are living in heaven on earth. I'm so happy for you! ❤
Bonnie reading that comment you shared is honestly how I feel as well! Watching your Vlogs every day is like coming home to my family that I’ve watched for the last 10 years and I absolutely love seeing that “friend” side of you and wish you would do that all the time, I can’t wait to see your family and the adventures you have in this amazing house you guys have
I’m love to see your sea shell collection. I have collected shells since I was 16 yo. I kept them all, and made a beautiful shell mirror when I was in my 60’s. So now everyday I get to look at them and enjoy something beautiful and memorable. Keep your sea shells for the memories.
The trim looks absolutely beautiful. Great job…love the green dress Bonnie… sending hugs, love, prayers and kindness with the daily dose of encouragement.♥️🙏🏼🌹👍🏼
Bonnie I've been working with fresh shells. I fill a bin with warm water, distilled vinegar and a little bleach. Let them sit two days then unfortunately....lay them outside to completely dry for maybe 2 weeks. And then absolutely no smell left. I make oyster crosses. Helpful tip😊
❤❤❤ Definitely have a friend in me. No matter what you choose to share, you will never understand what these videos do for my mental health. I have belly laughed, cried, and experienced much pride with you and your family. Remember the light will always shine brighter than the dark in any situation. ❤❤❤
Next year you will come back with so many sharks teeth you will need another beautiful glass canister to put there..love how you displayed them!! I can't remember how my mom cleaned her shells so they were dry and they didn't smell anymore..I believe she put them outside in the sun for days while on vacation and probably at home...
Ohhh, I sure wish I was sitting on the deck just outside your laundry room! Oh what glorious, peaceful views! I’m so happy for the whole family, you have worked together so hard for many years to accomplish this! Thank you for sharing your views. I love all your videos.
Bonnie, you bring a peace to my life, honest to God. You offer the world a view of what patience and peace can look like if you just strive towards those very achievable qualities. It's about being able to see that hope, and light, and other side.
omygosh!!! SNOW??? I would be packing the camper back up and heading back to the keys! Love the shells! Stay well everyone and loved Aunt Linda video! The friend letter is exactly how we all feel about you. There is something about your blogs that i just get sucked into and feel like I am your friend even though you don't know me. Its funny to think how we know so much about you and your family and you no little of us. LOL Thanks for hanging with us. We treasure it.
Hey Bonnie, if you want to learn more about shells there's a TH-cam channel called SWF Beach life where this lady posts a new video every Sunday night of her beach combing and she talks about the names of the different shells. I think you would really enjoy her channel! My husband and I love to collect seashells and I have learned so much from her.
Bonnie, I haven't watched in a little while as life has been hectic... But I gotta tell you, you look ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL. Your skin, hair, your overall energy..it's refreshing. The fireplace looks beautiful!! Great job Joel! P.S. GREEN💚 is your color!
That comment is very true for a lot of us I think 😊 I will only speak for myself now but I actually get a lil anxiety worrying about if one day you will stop vlogging. Your vlogs have been so calming to me and take me away from my reality for a little bit. Thank you for all your hard work and sharing your lives with us.
Bonnie!!! You and Olivia should make a seashell picture frame!!! It’s so fun and you can do it for a mirror or a picture! They’re BEAUTIFUL. My meme has made the most gorgeous pieces with her Florida shells ☺️ don’t be afraid to layer the shells either!! The chunky shell frames are my favorite!
That comment is exactly what I feel in my heart! It’s been a joy watching your family over the many years & I have quite literally grown up with you guys. I first started watching you guys in high school and now I’m an adult! Thank you for sharing your joys and your tougher moments- you are touching so many lives 💕
Getting new dryer installed tomorrow and could not be more excited to do ALL the laundry instead of hanging on drying rack for two months. Hate having to wait for holidays to get a big discount. 😊
Just love your Fireplace, your interiors are gorgeous. But at the same time your home is so homely and lived in. American homes are Gorgeous. Were I live some beautiful homes as well. And Lady is soo Cute..😄
Bonnie, I love seashells! I found beautiful ones over on Melbourne Beach a year and a half ago. I am from there and it has been decades since I was there. You all did a beautiful job on your house. Its gorgeous. Sorry you came home to a mice problem. You handled it well. 👍
Me! I'm still here. I'm here for whatever you are willing to share. Even the fishing because of y'all's excitement. Seeing what brings y'all joy brightens my day. At least for that moment before my reality is back. ❤❤❤
You are most definitely my friend and I would be happy to be yours. Show me the shells, tell me the hard stuff, and tell me the good stuff. We are the same age and at a similar stage in life and I just love you and your family. Let Grandma and Grandpa G that I miss them!
Oh my goodness I'm from California LA area closer to Disneyland. Went to the beaches of Huntington. Water not even as pretty as Florida. Been all over the country. But I love seashells collect them. Didn't even think about calling them different names, and the shark teeth I gasped when you showed them. Just another geek. I'm older than your mother LDS. Watch her mainly for years have followed family cookbooks. Watch your house being built. Watch your mom on her mission. ( hope she comes back after you all have healed) Love your family a fan. I just get a kick out of you. Keep up the good work. Anyway. Sister Sarah Bennett from ND.
Hi Bonnie I wasn’t to tell you to use your blow dryer on the shells so they don’t mold and smell to much, that’s what I did with mine from Hawaii and still do every once in a while I brought mine home in 1983.
Bonnie the views around yur house are breath taking! You are so lucky to waking up to all that beauty the good lord has given you for sure! I love that ya's kept all the sea shells, they bring back so many memories! Aww What a sweet message, bless her heart! Love what you chose to do with the fireplace! It looks amazing! Omg! I am in love with that green dress Bonnie! Where did you get it, i don't see a link for it? Thanks for sharing yur beautiful family with us!!
I swear bonnie your videos calm me down😂 I have a HUGE makeup exam tomorrow (don't worry I studied😂😂) after i study I watch your video and you calm me down, also if you ever need your makeup done, I'm your gorl ❤❤❤❤ love aoife from Ireland
I’m honestly so curious on how much this house was to build, just with cost of lumber and materials. My husband is an electrician so I’m always hearing about different houses he’s working in. We are in New Brunswick Canada by the way ❤️ love your videos! I also love seeing the house come together
Hard to believe there’s snow happening there when temperatures were in the triple digits in Arizona today. Also, have you tried using a bleach bath for your seashells? It only takes maybe an hour and it will definitely help with the smell.
love your seashells .. i live very near to the beach in wales uk .. i have to stop myself bringing home shells when i walk the dog or my house would be full of them :)
Bonnie, I LOVE your corner seashell display maybe love it more with a light?.. Our youngest grandson would have flipped out if he could have found a megalodon tooth the several times we vacationed Topsail Island. I love your families adoration for you and especially LOVE your zest for life. PS. I'm old enough to be your mama but I too soak your family vlogs up mostly while having my morning coffee. Me too.. Love ya friend. ❤
Can anyone recommend me similar channels to watch? I used to watch Ellie + Jared, Julie etc but they don’t post as much anymore and i watch my youtube daily 😂
All I could think of is the 5% finishing stuff it almost done, and it might take a little bit of time, but also, is it the 5% of people who are just rude and is not here to cheer you and your family on and only want the best for you and your family ❤
Thanks for documenting real life. It’s not all rainbows and butterflies.. but you make it look classy. ❤ 🫶💕

What a beautiful shell display! Just natural and gorgeous. No tacky decor with Bonnie's creative and tasteful touch.

That is beautiful! Your videos are so fun to watch. The family part of it, I didn’t have growing up, still don’t. I appreciate you all so much. ❤️
Bonnie, you are a better person than I. When I stub my toe a choice word usually follows. Joel you have done a great job on everything. Quite skilled!
I cannot get over the view, it would take my breath away every day
I loved your seashell corner. I couldn't see the vision at first with the trim on the fireplace. Joel did a great job. Looks amazing.
Bonnie I've been working with fresh shells. I fill a bin with warm water, distilled vinegar and a little bleach. Let them sit two days then unfortunately....lay them outside to completely dry for maybe 2 weeks. And then absolutely no smell left. I make oyster crosses. Helpful tip😊
Outside of course lol

You should totally add fairy lights to the shell jars it’ll make it look brighter and more of a focal point!!
I think I’ve been watching you for 6 or 7 years now! Absolutely love you and your family. So many laughs and tears shared! ❤
No the shells corner is sooooooo cute. It does not look cluttered or something its just looks so cute and aesthetic
I LOVE sitting and chatting with you. It makes me feel like I'm there with you, hanging out ❤

I love your shell collection, and the fireplace trim turned out perfect! I just love the views from your windows.
Oh Bonnie, I would be so embarrassed if you saw my washing machine with lid open!!
Yours is immaculate!! ❤
I love seeing you happy. Shells make me happy too! 🌊🐚🦀🦈

This was a fun chat Bonnie! Let's do it again soon😊💜 The final version of the trim looks great.
Also, remember, if you are ever "too much" then people always have the option to go find less. You're crushing it!
Wiping the machines is such a great habit, you should SEE my mom's washing machine under the lid -- it's scary!!! 🤣
You guys are so cute !!!! Also, those views !!!! Wow, breath taking.

I second that Instagram comment and I hope a million more do the same!
Did Joel ever get his shop done
Are there any other houses aroun you guys?
