I always enjoy your videos. But, I also want you to know that I acknowledge the tremendous effort it takes to produce them. The moving the camera, the reviewing the footage, the editing, and all the other technical details that go on behind the scenes. Not to mention dreaming up the content. You tell a great story, and the extra efforts are so appreciated. People all over the world are enjoying your work!

[@suemcknight9051]

@melbert22… that is such a thoughtful and truly true & all around great comment 👌…. (& I so agree 😉)

[@anneliesjoss]

Yep, my favorite KZbin channel and family 🥰

[@kleineroteHex]

Well said!

[@jackiwannapaint3042]

yes all the work we dont see. I have a painting channel and it takes longer to edit the video than to paint the paintings

[@user-ti4gj3kl5y]

Well said. We also enjoy watching the hard work you do to produce these videos.

Your son is going to be able to watch these videos and show them to his children and grandchildren. You both will have left behind a rich legacy for future families.

[@theresanoble1695]

These videos will be amazing in years to come for Ivar! I wish I had those when my kids were young. What a treasure. It’s always a delight to see you have posted a new one. I have to say it’s all very entertaining, however, I think Ivar is the star of the show. He is so adorable and it’s been amazing watching him grow and become such a sweet boy.❤ Thank you I know it’s not easy creating and developing these but the world is watching!😊

[@theresanoble1695]

Oh it’s an umbrella ( keeps the sun and rain off)

True freedom only comes from hard work.

Awww, Ivar has changed from a toddler to a little boy so fast!! It seems like yesterday he was brand new, pink & adorable. He’s still so adorable and smart! Cheers to the three of you!🫶🏻

[@playcolumbus2413]

I'm 7weeks pregnant and so sick...an hour and ten minute video from my favorite people!! 🎉 Thank you!! 😊 You guys are the best!!

[@Talasbuan]

Congratulations! Hope you'll get better so you can enjoy your pregnancy.

[@roonilwazlib3089]

Congratulations, get yourself some good quality ginger biscuits to nibble on ❤

[@user-ti4gj3kl5y]

I know how you feel because I was sick for the whole of both my pregnancies. My advise is to always have something with you to snack on. I was still working with my first pregnancy and I kept a bag of crackers and raw vegetables with me all the time. It’s not fun but we all seem to live through it even though some days are worse the others. I know with my second son I was being sick into a bowl while preparing food for my toddler. They are both worth it so hang in there. Let’s hope it goes away after a few weeks.

By The week 12 it offens stop.Hope it does for u

[@neagumarian3656]

God bless you with health and a healthy baby!

[@maiamitt]

Thank you for letting us be a part of your day. By the way, the English word for parasol is “umbrella.” ☂️

[@JasonPramas]

I like Mathias’ neologism “sun cover” 😀

[@maiamitt]

That works! 😉

[@oreganoharvey1091]

Actually, parasols are utilised as protection from sunlight, and umbrellas are utilised as protection from rain.

The English usually just say "brolly". Don't know about Scotland or Ireland.

[@donnaf5114]

My husband and I loved this video. We are farmers too with grown children. It was good to see we are not alone in this farm life. Remember to take one task at a time and not be discouraged if you can’t accomplish everything you want to do in a day. 😊

[@kathrynmoll86]

No matter what time of year, there's something lovely about an outdoor kitchen with a good wood fire burning; especially if there's something cookin'!😋just imagine it ... a wonderful way to live a good life! 🌞🦋❤

[@karismith2550]

That precious little boy has his mama's smile. I remember when he was a baby! Thank you for your videos.

[@1029tbarton]

My mother was half Swedish and half Norwegian. She made a thick fruit soup that she called Stewed Fruit. It was apricots, prunes, raisins and water. She cooked it on low heat until all the fruit was tender. We wouldn't eat it the first day. When it was refrigerated overnight, the sauce was thicker. I haven't had any in a looooong time. I must make some.

[@tishparker4119]

Fruit moos! My Gramma made what we called Burris’s and we dipped bread n butter in the silky broth. Memories

[@thesethingsmementos]

That's amazing! ❤

[@tainahollo8567]

Are you sure she did not add some potato flour, too? That is what we use to do.

[@1029tbarton]

@@tainahollo8567 nothing but water. When it sat overnight in the fridge, it would thicken.

[@tishparker4119]

Not that I recall.

[@allief2614]

Your videos bring me so much joy. We are a family of 3 also with a 2 year old boy. I started watching your videos while I was pregnant. We live in northern Minnesota and we have a very similar looking landscape and climate. We are on a mission to adopt a lifestyle similar to yours. I just wanted to let you know that your videos are making an impact all over the world, and I much appreciate the glimpse into your day to day life. Many blessings to you all.

[@cristelelizabethjohn1661]

what a sensible and appreciative comment. Good to hear that people are learning from these brilliant videos on how to live a worthwhile and creative, low impact on the environment life.. 😘

[@church8042]

Hi Tova, Mathias and Ivar! I can never find the words to describe your lovely family. I would have loved to have put down a barstool and chatted with you as you made breakfast. I loved the long video and TY for sharing your life once again. It is so special when you sit down and chat with us. It was so sweet when Tova put her head on your shoulder. The love you have is grand and beautiful. TY for all of your hard work...in everything that you do. God bless and love in Christ to you all. ~John

[@moniquevelasco20]

A very busy but productive day. The land looks so beautiful. Your son is growing so fast and he’s so cute. Love and be safe!😘🤗🌼🇻🇪

I appreciate, so much, the work you put into your videos, explaining what you do, and sharing your life. This was so amazing to watch - you both work so hard! Much love to you all - and I really look forward to the video on the shoes!

[@manohardhangar4735]

Hi hello how are you ❤❤❤

[@annmarie4999]

Thank you for sharing this long relaxing video. I love to watch your family simply going through the day. This time I was fascinated watching Mathias making scrambled eggs. They slid around so easily and were done in only a minute or two! That must be a well-seasoned and well-cared for cast iron skillet. The little chicks running about were so cute! But my favorite part was at the end -- after Ivar went to bed and you & Tova spent some quiet, quality time together as a couple. Adorable & precious. Many blessings to my favorite little family! 💙🇺🇸

I love your videos. Always have. I'm half way through but wanted to say how absolutely adorable it was with the Ivar subtitles. And yes Work Shop or Repair Place, both are good in English. :)

[@merlynguillermo3920]

You have a very relaxed life. No smog no distractions from worldly activities. You’re a good lovely couple.

[@cherylcarlson3315]

Was yelling "Mattias is right,JUICE". You are both so much more confident in English, congratulations. I am still hopeless in Swedish, my brain scrambles it into German but am so old doesn't matter. Was suprised no cheesemaking or wool/hide processing, water hauling but also know I couldn't document what I do in a day and do it at the same time. May things come together well.

[@ionawoodart]

Maybe Tove meant lemonade? Fruit juice (concentrate) mixed with water ... ?

[@ruthfraser7907]

Hi. It’s raining here in the UK. I have just spent a lovely relaxing time watching this video. I know what a lot of work has gone into the making of this. It’s great to watch your day - so thank you for sharing this. What a lovely family you are xx

[@tanyapayzant5261]

You guys are doing a wonderful job! I know the great feeling of working towards goals!

[@Truelyblue333]

Unbelievable this youngsters table manners and overall behavior. His ability to feed himself and not play in his food with little to no distraction at the table is amazing. No “meltdowns” labeled as “expressing himself” throughout the day without hitting his parents. Something we rarely see in the US! Great parenting. Be proud of the young man you’re raising. What a beautiful thing to see.

[@mikeduda3173]

Sitting here, watching the end of your episode. Remembering back to your very first video. And all the computer and internet problems that you were having. It's just amazing how far you have come. Drones, cameras, editing skills, laptops, sooo happy my KZbin 🌟 stars

[@colinsneller6274]

I know the fruit dessert you want to make, here in Hamburg, Germany. Here it's called Grütze - rote Grütze with red fruits and grüne Grütze with green fruits - and it's eaten with unwhipped cream just poured over it. There is no english word for it because it doesn't exist in England. I found it very sincere and touching to show how tired you get with this life you lead. Thanks for that❤

[@mettemiriam148]

...in norwegian it's the same: rød-grøt with cream/milk on top..❤

[@Meluforever]

It seem's the translation in english is porridge, red or green porridge :) In french it is a "compotée" . It is like a compote, but less cooked, because most of the fruit (or the vegetables) must remain whole.

[@agnesskibicka]

​@@mettemiriam148delicious 😋. Hello from Poland 🇵🇱 and my channel 😊 and countryside 🏡!

[@sandybear61]

Ivar has made the jump from toddler to little boy. I have loved watching him grow and mature! (P.S. I really enjoyed this episode, especially the two of you chatting at the end...I was laughing with you. It always feels like I'm sitting right there with you and that we're friends, so thank you for that!)

I hope we can have a garden tour sometime before fall. Also, after 30 years on a farm I can say nearly every day is hard. I would not give up one day of it though. I loved that life.

[@livinginabirdhouse]

Again, such great peace and tranquility. You go through great length producting your content. We have been following you from day one. You are still such an inspiration to us. We have made the decision to cut the chains, give up our jobs, and we now live in our camper, looking for a piece of land to homestead. You have inspired us to make quiet content too. We wish you nothing but love!

[@debbiehamiton9305]

Thank you for letting us spend the day with you. Such a hard working family. It’s nice to see young families still wanting to work and care for their families. We look forward in watching each of your videos. Thanks again for sharing ❤️❤️

You have a way of portraying your activities in a very calm way. You prove that much can be accomplished in a peaceful fashion. I will learn from you. ❤️

[@EnglishMadeleine]

I’m surprised you drive without seatbelts on, and with Ivar in the front on Tova’s lap 😲. That would not be allowed in the UK . It’s been so long since it was allowed here that I have to admit it made me very nervous. 😳

[@Talasbuan]

It is on our own road, we know there are no meeting cars and we drive every slow. We've got a "proper" chair for him otherwise.

[@Ann-rk7nm]

Geez, there’s always one 🙄

[@traceywheeler9171]

Let's face it u can't breath in the UK.

[@Laura-kd4ne]

I really enjoy your videos and Tova your hair has grown back beautifully❤

[@corrievanhalm9154]

Thank you for yet another wonderful video. Yours are, for me, by far the most beautiful, inspiring and interesting ones that I have come across. I have followed you for years now. You have showed us glimpses of your development as farmers, parents, a couple and as a man and a woman whom have taken it upon themselves to deeply respectfully live and work with the comings and goings of the natural cycles. This video, showing an ordinary day in some detail, also showed how an ordinary day turned out to be not so ordinary with minor and bigger frustrations which you work with in what seems an almost organic way, going with what is and moving onto the next task. No doubt you also swear sometimes? In any case, I admire the way both of you work with all that is alive around you. I agree with others comment about your filming skills. What a joy this is for us viewers. It is extraordinary how a day that started in an ordinary way can become quite fragmented. You make the most of it nevertheless. I hope that Tova's brother watches this video and sees that the trip to the auction was quite a chunk out of your day. The things we do for our siblings. As they say; it is all in a days work. The word you were looking for Tova is, I think, cordial or syrup. You also seem to describe something that is called Gooseberry fool, in the UK, where I lived for many years. These are probably all variations on the theme of Gooseberries and delicious. Last but not least, your little boy. What treasure he is. Many thanks and go well.

[@bjgigout9832]

Love the peacefulness of your lives and would love to have an outdoor kitchen like yours. Mathias appears to have lost quite a bit of weight. Concerned Precious, hard working family.

Sweet to see monkeyboy and his parents doing so well! We call a "parasol" an "umbrella" in the U.S., and also the motor attached to the tractor that you were using to pull the logs from the forest we call a "winch".

[@karenanderson9740]

Thanks for this video. I so enjoyed watching the sheep / ram work. It looked like you three knew just what to do with out even speaking. The sheep look spry and busy:)Thank you also for your thoughts about work and fixing things. It's good to remember that delays are part of the work. You didn't get frustrated with setbacks, you just switched tasks and worked on problem solving. Thank you so much for taking me on your awesome day. All of it, from the day planning, to the tired night time computer work helped me understand how you can get so much done. You have earned a roast and a sauna! Because he sees you reading and because you have been reading to him since he was a baby, Ivar will soon be enjoying silent sustained book looking and reading. Your time for reading is on it's way.i
