Just going to throw it out there but would love if you guys did a podcast 😍

[@nicolecrofts7996]

Same

[@JG-bt3cr]

I doubt it. They have a lot on their plate right now; with businesses, social media, SMOKEY, multiple properties, travel, vintage shopping and so on…. If your a parent you know #iykyk #totally #single #parent

[@mariajaniegoulet7653]

Glad to see you back 🎉

[@mackenziewheatley]

Definitely a series on the cabin! I want to feel like I’m being taken along the process while you guys are still doing it :)

[@a_v_16]

Yes!😊

[@gingin1050]

I prefer seeing the daily project as its happening. In real time. I like seeing the decisions and updates and how that fits in to your daily routine. I get a better understanding ❤

[@backbaylisa]

Agreed!

[@stephaniellisonn]

Idk how to explain it but you guys' voices are so homey and calming to hear. Literally brings me so much peace😂😂 I think real time updates within the videos would be most ideal and attainable to do for sure! 💟

[@lilianaavalos718]

Dude I feel the same way! I listen to them before bed because they are so soothing and calming. Listening to them makes me feel so grounded 😅

[@alexandriagentile6005]

Definitely a series dedicated to the Reno and the farm build! I looooove design and am curious about the whole process. Plus I love your organic modern style. We bought some land and plan to do the same within the next few years!!

[@AnneRas11]

A cabin series sounds great. Whatever is easiest for you to share. I think you both have made great choices in your homes. This will be interesting to take it from the bare bones. Thank you for sharing your adventures.

[@TashVitorsky]

I think it would be great to see you guys talk about reno plans as they happen in vlogs, but also maybe do a series on the entire thing so that people have something to reference to? Either way, excited to see it all come to fruition ❤

[@stephyoungren]

I think updates as they happen in real time would be the most enjoyable and also most “real” if that makes sense? I always appreciate that you two are honest and real about life and share the experience as it’s happening❤

[@ninaatie3259]

So happy to have you guys back! Thank you for sharing your story about experiencing loss during the holiday. As someone who just experienced a loss a week before Christmas it’s nice to hear other people talk about that reality as well. On another note, I’d love the see the cabin content in its own series on your channel. I LOVE the daily vlogs and feel like that content would get pushed aside if the cabin was combined in those. Love y’all ❤️

[@allisonptak8414]

Traveling with a toddler is a lot of work! My husband and I were saying that our son was so much easier to take care of before he started walking.. then watch out, it’s a whole different ball park! On the move constant and wiggly and have to keep entertained all the time. I agree with Julia wait til Smoke is a bit older to travel for long periods of time. It will be easier and less stressful on the two of you.

[@cindygiesregen4467]

I’m sorry for your loss. Hope you guys all can get some good sleep now that you’re back home. Life is a stress bomb filled with glitter and sparkles for sure. You just need to enjoy the best parts and try to let go of the rough stuff. Sometimes the things we think are rough aren’t nearly as bad as we think. As long as you have your love and health those are the main things to be grateful for.

[@Pagingnursejackie]

I work for a mobile mental heath crisis team and this time of year is usually tough. Lots of people go through it more than you think. Thank you for always being transparent! Happy New Year! ❤

[@muthonisoni]

Updates of the project throughout the vlogs please. Loved the conversation at the end with the planning and following what intuitively feels right at the moment. A good balance of both sounds about right.

[@jacquelynts90]

Missed you guys!! A series would be epic, I’m so excited to see what y’all do 😊

[@bustingyewls154]

I was just watching your old vlogs from 2019 and 2020. Crazy to think it’s 2024 and you guys are still going strong! Glad to have you back

[@Becca_Rees5]

Missed you guys!!! I’m glad you were honest about the holidays because I remember looking at your insta stories during Xmas thinking “wow that looks perfect. I wish my family was like that.” but social media is just a highlight reel!

[@Elliotpw]

Happy new year and so sorry for you loss. I would love to see a cabin Reno series !

[@jordanrenee1758]

my (unsolicited) advice would be to move around while the kids are still young. As a parent I definitely felt more “stuck” once my kids had sports, friends, etc. Homes and everything else are harder to part with when they become a part of your babies childhood. If you plan on staying somewhere for 10yrs, I’d say start that journey when the kids are older and coming into their own. That when the stability will matter most. When they’re little they‘ll go with the flow. Traveling will become the norm to them if you introduce it young. It can definitely be stressful, but it’s do-able and worth the memories

[@paigecornale8003]

I think KZbin vlogs are the best plan for the cabin reno because folks can refer to it, it can be lengthy and in depth as we want ALL the details! So glad you guys are back, Happy New Year ❤

[@amyfisher7220]

I would love to see current updates throughout the process. Maybe a weekly series once renovations start would be fun.

[@charnaiann93]

I’m with hunter on traveling to Europe with Smoke! Took my then 8 month old to Ireland and it was great! Take advantage before he’s really moving and cruising!

[@snowqtee]

I travel more and went out a bunch when my boys were small because I wanted them to get use to the car seat,stroller and the whole travel situation and how to behave well while we were out as they got into the toddler age and older.It worked.

[@tiaratran]

Highly recommend traveling internationally starting from around age 1! It’s so intimidating but they become such good travelers and it’s soo worth the chaos

[@josiekernen7830]

This video is just so comforting. God I love y’all. For the cabin- WE WANT IT ALLLLLLLL do a series explaining and capturing everything & incorporate it into the vlogs. Whatever feels natural because we LOVE YALL so it won’t matter

[@autie579]

I would throw in the cabin updates in vlogs in real time. BTW I’m sorry for your loss also the Holidays can be stressful but nice to see family as we don’t know how much time we have with anybody.

[@tatumnskinner7842]

So sorry for y’all’s loss. ❤ Personally I think the cabin reno content included within daily vlogs would be the vibe vs it being separated out. I just love the variety in the day to day of y’all’s lives and think it would be a natural fit. God bless!

[@angelapace2497]

HAPPY NEW YEAR! I would prefer you sharing the cabin content as it happens, so that we can be included through the entire process from start to finish.

[@CCashVideos]

The hardest part about traveling to Europe with a ~1 year old is packing. You have to bring SO many things “just in case”, clothing layers, medications, food etc.. it can be difficult to get items you forget for various reasons. Also, transportation can be challenging too. Always having to hang on to a car seat if you use taxis, or find parking if you rent a vehicle. If you use public transportation, then you can use a stroller (but lots of walking plazas are tough on strollers with uneven walkways and stone grounds etc.. also lots of stairs with no elevator). You can definitely use a carrier, but some kiddos aren’t into that. It’s a lot of work! And at that age, the kids don’t remember the trip, but as parents, you definitely will! It’s an adventure 😊

[@katelynannrobinson]

series for sure!!! i love the studio mcgee series on that channel, something that goes into detail about the design choices, styling etc. a little more formal at the end, but then keep us updated in the vlogs as far as things come and go!! you guys are crushing it as parents ❤

[@desireeclark1280]

So sorry to hear about a loss in your family! Hope everyone is able to heal and find happiness this year. I would love to see a series for the cabin reno!! Or just updates throughout vlogs so we can follow along the journey! Can’t wait to see you guys crush it with the design. Happy new year!

[@ShelbyBlackburn]

I think I’ve commented this before but my husband and I were also 24 when we got married and waited 8 years before having our baby (who is about to be 3 months) & yes we could have done it at any time really BUT the maturity that comes with age has made it so much better I think ❤

[@agamaria]

So sorry to hear about your loss. Regarding the renovations, I’d love a series. So excited and looking forward to the content!

[@rachelbowley3567]

Welcome back. HNY! Sorry for your loss. Life is not easy. Enjoy every day you have together. Miss seeing you both and of course Smoke and Booker. Incorporating updates about the cabin in you vlogs would be great. Do whatever works best for you.❤

[@bettynesbitt4503]

44:15 Welcome back, Julia, you showed such restraint with Hunter when he was talking about taking Smoke to Europe lol. Love you Havens.

[@Sydney_youngblood26]

Updates through vlogs!! I enjoy these so much and they’re so relaxing to me! As a Mom, this feels like my “me time” when I watch these! I would love to see the updates through these!

[@evangelinagillespie1278]

For the reno, I’d say a series! Mainly because I’m a home reno girly myself and love that kind of content. PLEASE do not make us wait until the end of the whole process 😂❣️

[@victoriabuksa3687]

I think a series as well as vlog content. Please don't make us wait! Haha love you guys! So sorry for your loss in your family ❤️❤️❤️

[@lillianandrews7245]

I just love content that is so in line with what’s currently going on with you guys, so I’d love updates as you go throughout regular lifestyle vlogs!

[@Emma-zq3ep]

I've followed y'all for 7ish years now, and I honestly think incorporating renovation content into your usual style vlogs would be ideal, because a lot of the appeal comes from context. Your strength as a channel is how varied your lifestyle is and how that fits together. For example, when you would go to Paris and show you buying things at the antique markets, and then a few vlogs later, you would show that item being incorporated into your home. That's far more engaging than a vlog showing you buying all the items of furniture in Paris and showing you styling them in Nashville in the same vlog. The mix of different activities makes your vlogs like a good plate of different foods that keeps you engaged, if that makes sense. 🤍

[@katrenan]

I really liked what y’all shared about positivity and working through a negative mindset. Such a simple principle, but hard to remember sometimes. Great reminder for 2024 P.s. very sorry for your loss and sending love to your family 🤍

[@yesi8384]

Hi Julia and Hunter! Happy New Year! Sorry for your loss. In regards to sharing the cabin project. Whatever you think is easier for you to share. You know everyone will watch regardless. I love you and Smoke!

[@DC-SNE]

I would love to see your projects happen day by day in real life, and more behind the scenes. I enjoy the Shopping at the stores, choosing your colors/furniture/ conversations with the builder/before and after pictures. Love you guys! I’ve been with you guys since day 1 and I never comment 😅❤❤❤❤❤

[@PamelaElliott-b8q]

I would love to hear current events about the cabin in your vlogs. Decision making topics, the good and bad things you go through to help educate followers who will be going through something similar in the near future.

[@melissaveliz2838]

A series for sure!!!! We love updates on your projects and so excited for you guys!! Best wishes on your journey and everything that’s to come! ❤️

[@melt8288]

For the love of god DONT make us wait till the very end to see updated on the cabin 😂😂😂 either a series as it is happening or just in the vlogs!!

[@laurarivers5014]

Missed you guys !! Definitely a series would be amazing ! ❤ Happy New Year ✨

[@kellyhartigan2518]

I am sorry to hear of your loss ❤ Really great to have you guys back. Great Q&A. That’s exactly how I am pushing through 2024. Love you both xx

[@xtinnnnnne]

Obsessed with you guys! For the cabin, my personal preference is updates in vlogs then one dedicated video once it’s all done and you have moved in!

[@kortneehull2670]

I’d love to see the process in a series! My husband and I are thinking of buying to renovate so having an example to see the process would be nice

[@abbyandpreston]

For the cabin content, I would love to either see updates in the vlogs or a series if there is enough content to show. But don’t save it till the end. I can’t wait till it’s completed to see it all!

[@Raine278]

So sorry for your loss 🙏🏻... with regards to the Cabin, would love to see a dedicated series aside from the usual vlogs. Have loved your designs previously in your other houses and this would be so interesting to see the learning curve and the evolution of the Cabin from start to finish...

[@maryhannahbowers4556]

Take us along the process in the weekly vlogs! To keep it as “real time” as possible. Love yall and can’t wait to tag along

[@bethraymond777]

Welcome back! I love the vlogs in real time also, but whatever is easiest for you guys is best! Happy New Year!

[@aubreyaffholder3248]

Please show cabin updates through out the process!! I cannot wait til it’s over to see anything

[@rachelcervi3271]

I’d love to see cabin updates in your regular vlogs! Maybe an emphasis on the whole process once it’s finished. So sorry for your loss!😢

[@bayharborbeauty]

The strict question really resonated with me- I have two boys 15/18. I yelled at them maybe 4x their entire life. I believe in setting boundaries, limits. I always would kneel to their level and talk to them about what they did wrong. They knew when they could push the limit with me and when I had the tone of don’t you dare even think about doing that. I always wanted them to come to me and let me know what was going on in their life. Parents that yell and have so many rules IMO could create kids that rebel. Setting strict boundaries is extremely important but constantly bitching can maybe backfire. Don’t get me wrong I had crazy come out a few times but it’s finding that balance. Y’all will be fine!! Just my two cents. :)

[@rushmartin7343]

That is a great approach to his schedule. I did that with all of my 3 kids and it was cool. They always adjusted.

[@530xoxo]

So happy to see my favorites back! Felt like a lot longer without seeing y’all lol I would love to see real time update of the cabin either in the vlogs or series!

[@SamLynnL]

I like the idea of a serious. It’s so fun to watch the renovation process

[@Csabes]

A podcast for sure 👍🏻. You two are the og’s to me. It’s a natural fit ❤

[@FinallyMeyers]

Maybe a dedicated series like weekly or every two weeks of complied moments of cabin renovations! So excited for the cabin!

[@LexisRorrer]

Maybe a weekly vlog/update reveal regarding the cabin renovations!🫶🏽😍😍 like a Sunday recap of what happened progress wise! With reveals here and there as they are completed

[@dianeloughery]

When I got my first order of seed 3 years ago they gave me a glass sleeve that holds a week’s worth and I keep it in my purse so I never forget it when I travel.

[@mvhous1]

Hey Guys this is your friendly flight attendant from your BNA leg at the start of your trip. So great to chat with you.

[@adelavillalobos7307]

So happy you guys are back, I’m sorry you had a difficult holidays. Regarding the cabin project, it would be awesome if you had a separate series with updates released throughout 😊

[@taylormiller2335]

Both series and daily updates!! Series videos for big things or when you’re actually showing the project, small daily updates as you guys are finalizing decisions, picking things out, etc!

[@WVDi]

Would enjoy going along with you through process. Before sand afters are fun! Welcome back.

[@Joy-ij2os]

Id like to see the renovations as there being done and after.love you guys .

[@traceyrobinson7502]

Happy 2024‼️ Love the life update. A series about the cabin would be awesome. Sorry for you loss.

[@amandagentry1853]

I think a series would be great. But, I LOVE your vlogs- so watching it unfold in real time in vlogs would be amazing.

[@courtneyweise8]

i would love to see a cabin series in realtime! obviously little updates in vlogs here and there are wonderful, but i would love to see things as they are happening with focused videos on the cabin as those decisions are being made while the renovation is progressing. love you guys! excited for this next part of your journey!

[@taaylor__made]

Love yall so much! Would love to see a cabin reno series with periodic updates! Can’t wait to see what you make of it!!

[@monicadrew889]

I have kids that are grown but I love listening to you two. It makes me reflect back on raising mine and how people are the same/different. The cabin I would like to see the process as it comes. Happy New Year 🎉

[@jackiebelge19]

I would love to see weekly updates on the cabin. Or maybe twice a month if weekly is too much.

[@kimdoughman5859]

Totally a series of the journey along the way yes !!❤

[@Savingwithlinda_]

A combo would be great! Sneak peaks within your typical vlogs and then detailed episodes in a series. That way if anyone ever wants to go back for tips or inspo then it’ll be easy to get to. & the sneak peaks are just fun and make you look forward to the next series episode!

[@patriciatruel]

Where did you get the greenery in the pit behind you!??! I love it; and while you’re at it, the pottery too!

[@sofiask4494]

“Neither am I biiiii” 😂😂 the eye rolling I felt to the core. I knew why you were getting annoyed. Like when they know what you mean but still gotta say something 😂😂 we get it Hunterrrrrr 😂😂

[@genevievegranados]

What is some advise y’all might have if the negative person in your life is a parent? How do you remove that vibe from your life? Love y’all♥️♥️

[@lizonpaquet]

Would love to see a series dedicated to the cabin and farm build! Maybe show little previews throughout the vlogs🤭 Can’t wait to see it come together!

[@sandyatnip2230]

I would love to feel like I was right there with y’all every step of the way with everything y’all do at the farm,etc. Smoke is getting so big and so smart already giving high 5s y’all have done such an amazing job with him,he’s so happy and most of all handsome ❤ I don’t smile much unfortunately but when I see him I smile the whole time .. I wish there could be a blog with mostly Smokey I know it would be challenging with him so young but he is truly my highlight.. my baby boy had the same color hair as him at that age and now he’s 30 year old and it’s the prettiest dark Auburn ever .. every body loves Smokey!!

[@barbarawallace1305]

So happy your Back ! A cabin series would be great !! Can hardly wait & Happy new year 🎉

[@marinayaromich6779]

i would love to hear about the cabin project being shared as you guys go- including making decisions, changing them on the fly, hiccups, completed things step by step .. really help us see the journey of it

[@itsreallife443]

The ONE piece of advice I would give you is be STERN THE FIRST TIME when you’re setting ground rules! Not yell, but in a stern “I mean business” voice. The sad face will CRUSH you but I promise you it will be worth it. Parents make the mistake of repeating themselves therefore not creating boundaries and respect and then the kid will push until the “Stop” turns into anger and that’s not good for anyone. I’ve never had to spank my daughter, I don’t believe that you have to, if you set the tone young. Anyway… you guys are amazing parents full of love and I think you’re doing great!

[@gracebalters3265]

Happy new year Hunter and Julia I missed you guys so so much and Smokey and booker thanks for being back

[@styledbyshannon]

I love the cabin content sprinkled throughout the vlogs, but once you mentioned a 10 episode drop style, that sounded really intriguing!!

[@AllieBonzani]

I love the idea of a series that drops as things happen

[@rianaburger]

I would a daily updated on the cabin project. I like how you give updates. Much love from me and my son from South Africa 😊🤗

[@Rachel3675]

I would love to see/hear updates during your vlogs, like you do now. Just eau natural😄. Love this Q&A! Sorry for your loss, sending you Love & Light❤️🍀

[@freenectarines]

I think a Netflix-style series would be really cool, but honestly anything you do will be beautiful!

[@aliciaassanuvat7844]

For the cabin I think it would be great to have a mini series of the entire thing start to finish. For these it’s best to watch it as a series but give updates throughout vlogs. Looking forward to it!!

[@nseyatenija]

I think a series or updates in your vlogs would be great! Don’t want to put too much pressure on you guys so even if you show us everything in your daily vlogs that’s perfect! ❤️

[@katycking]

Bahahahaha the “okay you’re annoying” after the argument is legit how I hand all things with my husband 😂

[@GypsyEyes27]

Nice update, for the cabin I say either updates in the vlog or a series. Can’t wait!

[@sarahacosta00715]

I would love to have a cabin series with episodes released close to real time, but also would love to still see stuff released in your vlogs. I adore watching your precious little family, but I cannot begin to express how excited I am for the cabin renovations. I’ve been obsessed with that type of content lately, and I think it’s due to us being on the journey of building our forever home which hopefully we will be starting by May this year. 🤍✨🫶🏻

[@louisebourne5779]

Happy New Year Julia and Hunter lovely to see you back. So sorry for your loss ❤. Sending my condolences. I love your videos and enjoy them very much. Sending lots of love 🥰 your way from the UK xxx

[@chardond7070]

Glad your back❤ Julia can you do a tutorial on your bob haircut

[@saydeeperry6184]

Praying for you guys and I am so sorry for your loss. As for your question on the cabin and how we would like to see that content do whatever is easiest for you we will all be grateful to view your content however, you give that to us. Y’all are amazing!! Love you guys so much !!❤

[@mariagarcia-gomez7895]

I am sorry for your loss, my father passed last year on December 25 and it’s so tough.. sending happy and light vibes your way! 🤍 it’s been a while since I watched your videos.

[@kyleeryan4993]

Ooh a fun cabin series!!! But can’t wait till the end haha so frequent updates 😍 and daily vlogs still be a thing. Love seeing the everyday life!
