Angie and CR are my favorite KZbin married couple! Love their sense of humour and their life wisdom. They are like a ray of sunshine on YT. So relatable and so down-to-earth, I cry hard and laugh hard at their videos.

The Lottie bit cracks me up! Happy that she’s healthy again and is socializing with the goats. She still believes she’s human. Miss seeing her just the same. Taking 15 maybe 20 minutes on the throne 😂! It’s so great to see Cr again. xoxo 🤍

[@annewhittemore3771]

You know what, I just realized that in your past videos together I felt a little envious of how playful you guys are, always joking and teasing and flirting and insulting. 😂 And I just realized this minute how much y’all helped my marriage because then I kinda focused on that and I feel like we’re having more fun these days. Keeps it alive. 😂

You two are just the cutest. Thank you for letting all of us be a part of your world.

“Building a life you don’t need an escape from “. I haven’t heard that in a long time But I needed it today

You guys are hilarious! CR is my coffee bestie, that was so funny. More of these! Love them and all your marriage and parenting shares ❤️

[@nicolevanwinkle8300]

Love the joint Q & As :) Would love a “what it’s like to own chickens” videos. There’s other videos out there but it’s nice to ear how you’ve gone from no experience to having lots of chickens. Makes it les of an intimidating idea.

[@Jen-zz7nv]

What a way to start the day! I swear y'all could have your own Sonny and Cher show😊

[@sarameitner6770]

LOVE your Q+As. You two together in videos are such a delight. In these sessions you are just ... simply the BEST.

[@kimjaymama26]

Your video came up and I had to stop everything to watch. I love it when you two do videos together!

I know it’s probably a lot, but I’d love to see the podcast come back. This is hilarious. I love Q&As 🤣🤣🤣

Love how you interact with each other. I totally agree on your answers on early relationships and how we can grow together while getting older. Respect for each other is critical.

[@jarydiaz6591]

I love this channel ❤️ fun, light, sweet and educational. You guys are the best.

[@jessfredericks524]

The best chicken psychology tip anyone ever gave me was to put the new chicken into the yard while the 'old' chickens are still in the coop/ roosting box from the night before. When you let the 'old' chickens out, they have to enter the 'new' chicken's territory and it confuses the 'old' ones and stops them from attacking. Somehow it puts the 'new' chicken further up the pecking order. It really worked for us. Hope this helps.

[@walkinfaithnotbysight]

"Build a life you don't need to escape from." Brilliant quote!👍

Try planting clover seed where your grass is struggling!! Great for your soil, easy to grow, low water, and low maintenance (no mowing pretty much)! If you end up with the bee boxes y’all have mentioned in the past, it’s great for them too!

It's obvious that you guys have such a great relationship. Your kids are all very, very lucky 💚💚

[@kimberli2391]

Great answers. Best advice for pre-marriage, do somethings that are challenging together. Like go tent camping for a week, or learn something new for both of you. This shows how you both handle unfamiliar, stressful or scary things. Do they give up? Can they laugh afterwards? Just good-to-know stuff, because you never know what is coming. You want to work as a team.

[@Oliviacbarker]

Would love to see all the dogs and also your 2 cats!!

[@elizabethbetsyschneider1647]

My husband started drinking the liquid IV and got continuous nose bleeds, when he googled it apparently it’s common from those. I hope you haven’t experienced any. Love your videos! 💕

I really like the part when you talked about everyone having different capacities. My wife is great with numbers and paperwork, but hates manual outdoor work & home improvement projects.

Yes, the sense of humor, the friendship, etc., all that is important but imho the core values are the most important. God bless you guys!

[@BigBlessedNest]

28 year old adoptive momma of 8. I COULD not homeschool like you. When you were going through the "Going through the school pick up line, remembering dress up days.." I was like, "That's me! That's me!" But I highly value my quiet time and I get that at home while I'm taking care of household things and the garden and the animals. My capacity requires that space from my kiddos. So neat to see how different we all are.

Well, nice to have news about Lottie but she is like the farm trademark. I know you did what is best for her and your family but it doesn’t change the fact that we miss her… a lot! So any time you are around with the camera please include some video of Lottie and the rest of your farm pets. We love them. ♥️

In one of your back to school videos or another q&a, could you please give us some helpful advice on homeschooling adopted children? I have 3 bios I've been homeschooling. One has special needs. We've been fostering 3 wonderful kids for 10 months, and, as adoption gets closer, I am more worried than I thought I'd be about homeschooling all of my kids. I am going from an independent, gitter done 2nd grader and a special needs 3rd grader with a preschooler who hangs out to 2 high school age kids, a 4th grader, and my baby joining us as a K student next year! Ahhhhhh! I don't expect specific details about your kids. That's private, but general things you wish you had known or helpful advice or whatever nuggets of wisdom you got for us would be fantastic!

Hi Angie and CR! In my part of the world during the lock downs and after when permits were not being given for parties persons would have these silent parties because it could not be heard from the outside.

What it means to own a „pack of dogs“ would be interesting! Also, how do you teach the digs to make them like all the other animals? We got a dog and two bunnies. Our dog was three when we got the bunnies. She loves them. But a bit too much. After four years, still waaaaay too excited!

[@emilymeade9685]

My family and friends were very harsh when I broke up with my boyfriend a few months after my mom died. I realized that he was not the person for me in the tough times. I saw the way my sisters significant others were to them, and realized that my relationship was lacking.

[@chinyh11]

I think your spouse should absolutely be your best friend. You should have other friends and be apart sometimes but in the end, beauty fades, parts fail, kids move away....so you better like who you're left with!

[@SimplyEnjoyingLife]

[@scrappingscootergirl]

The dynamic, humor and love between you is so wonderful and hilarious! You said in this video that you really developed your friendship before being a couple. If its not too personal (please feel no obligation to answer) how long were you friends before you starting a relationship or did it just naturally progress? I love that you found a solution for your Lottie mischief! I had to duct tape my fridge shut to keep my cat out....oh no Lottie sick adventures doesn't sound fun! Glad she gets along with her goat siblings! Love your reaction when CR "overshared" about his bathroom me time! You two need to do more videos together :) I love when CR asked if he could tell a story about Mexico and you said "You can say whatever you want, I can edit :) I totally get the "I can't do three hours with these people!" I have never heard of a silent disco....That would be weird! I love Angela's reaction to you wanting to take Millie fishing in the gator pond! If you had to pic your 3 top music artists what would they be? My two favourites are Gordon Lightfoot and Blackmores Night....

There are child locks for the refrigerator that would help to keep the cat out.
