FALL Day in the Life! Cabin Addition | Homeschool | Restocking Firewood + DIY Fall Garland...

[@wellesleysmith102]

Kellen really won the jackpot when he met Parker and landed with your family. PURE GOLD!! You're such a great teacher and mother and Joe is a great teacher and father.

[@georgeguindon2122]

Joe your skills are threw the roof,great job on the addition. Tina if I had a teacher like you 50 years ago I would have retained so much more. You do such an awesome job with the boys!

Love that cursive writing is making a comeback. Parker’s writing is really good! Say congrats to him. Also, the layout changes for the addition make so much sense and the extra privacy will be so nice!

[@HomeFreeAlaska]

Totally agree! Thank you!❤️❤️

[@debwhite6161]

Have y'all given it a thought, to put in a Murphy bed on one of the walls of the office room? There's a way Joe could utilize the "wall" part of the Murphy bed with shelves that when the bed is opened up, they swivel so that everything stays on the wall. Just a thought for when guests like Lexxi & James wanna stay over or your Mom comes for a visit@@HomeFreeAlaska

[@heikeisenmann1485]

The shot with the camera in the falling tree was really cool! I love how you raise the boys, they gonna be good men!

[@HomeFreeAlaska]

Thank you! That shot was all Joe’s idea!😍

[@amberjablonski3141]

I second that. I was actually wondering how he got the camera up there for that....creative! I have to say, you both are doing well and growing with your filming skills.

Thank you so much!!!❤️❤️

[@madzabinga8382]

I bet Lexxi would love it if Joe cut a bunch of those wood rounds for her to take to her school to use with her students. I think if they were sanded, they could make a fun kind of block set also.

[@HomeFreeAlaska]

Super cute idea!😍

[@Jo-uy6pl]

Great idea! Is Lexi going to show her classroom soon? I'm interested in seeing that

[@HomeFreeAlaska]

You could put a door from the office into the bathrrom also so you don't have to walk so round-about at night. Maybe pocket doors to save space. :)

Tina, the soup looks delicious! I really like sauerkraut but my husband does not… does the soup taste like sauerkraut or more like veggie soup?

[@georgiagardengirlshomestea1560]

Following this answer!

[@HomeFreeAlaska]

@@npete55 honestly it doesn’t taste anything like sauerkraut.☺️ And…if you really don’t want to use sauerkraut, you don’t have to. You can very thinly chop/slice regular cabbage and put it into the soup. It turns out just as good, I’ve done that before when I didn’t have sauerkraut.🫶🏻

[@npete55]

@@HomeFreeAlaska thanks and we both love cabbage so that is a good idea… always looking for new soup ideas.

Push down slowly on the plunger, otherwise coffee will spew. Those pumpkins Joe made for the boys are very cute! And, of course, the boys did a terrific job painting them

[@susanscully9523]

Oh my goodness, another winner, Tina!!! I figured out that your personality is not genetic, because Kellen has mastered your facial silliness perfectly. I just about died laughing!! That was priceless!! I hope Joe gets a moose. Thank you for sharing your life with us.

[@patriciagoudeau8908]

I love the change of the layout. But don’t stop there in the future you can add a primary bathroom to.

[@OldSoulHomemaker]

Your garland turned out to cute! Well done. Idea: Just add some red berries to make it into a Christmas garland. Then you can use it all season 😉

[@HomeFreeAlaska]

So funny because I was thinking that too! I love it so much, I don’t want to take it down!☺️

[@debbieramsey3659]

You guys Crack me up! Kellen is so smart and the pronunciation of face was hilarious. Precious steady as you go Parker. Such a cute family. I am praying that Kellen becomes permanent. He's one of the kids now. I wonder what he would think of public school if he ever had to go back. Love you guys.

It's so funny hearing you talk about little house in the the prairie...i started watching it again after over more than 30 years on prime video. Greetings from Berlin Germany

Aw thanks Dennis! We sure appreciate you watching our videos! So glad you enjoy them! ☺️

[@Amacott99]

I have homeschooled all 3 of my boys, as we lived in remote Australia and then India (for 8 years), I would teach my boys the same….coins, pegs for counting, homemade flash cards. They’re now in their final year, Year 11 and Year 10. It’s been an amazing (sometimes very frustrating) experience. But homeschooling gave my boys what they needed. My youngest is Autistic and he now schools independently. Enjoy the journey!

[@realalanwlutz]

You do such an amazing job homeschooling the boys. Great job videoing Joe. I love the garland project you made. You have definitely made it feel fall there. We are just now dropping out of the 90s. Im bummed because I love summer but love seeing fall thru your videos.

[@louiserenton9380]

Love your new layout ideas! Would you consider perhaps a sofa bed in the office for when your Mum visits. Can’t wait to see how you organise the pantry.

[@Luwanasue]

That’s what I was to suggest a sofa bed in the office would be helpful if Lexx and James wanted to stay overnight ❤

[@bonnied3550]

Sounds like they may need a separate small room guest cabin/w/small kitchenette built? Maybe just counter space/w/small Frig. or good cooler. A place to wash face and brush teeth. Could be utilizing a big ceramic bowel and pitcher like on little house on the prairie😃👍🏼 Or it could be for the office/school room/podcast etc. Time will tell what your needs will be😃👍🏼 good work Joe&Tina😃👍🏼❤️🙏🏼🙏🏼

[@juliajohnson6022]

That new design for the cabin makes more sense than the old plan. How many square feet will you gain with the addition? And, you may want to put a bed in the office, for visitors,or if one of you is sick.

[@HomeFreeAlaska]

It’ll add about 120 sq ft to the cabin.☺️ Yes, I like the idea of having a space to put up a guest bed if needed!

[@marshahauck1022]

True if we were going to close it in but I’ve opted to have the pretty vaulted open ceiling instead.☺️

If you move the door between the office and master you could have one walkway along the three rooms and not need to cut through the office to get to your bedroom. Looking great!

Nice size bedroom with a lot of natural light, Joe is the man. Great idea splitting the old bedroom into two nice to have a office for quite time for bills and editing. I know for me it was an escape from my kids 😎 kidding, hmm not 😅 A little early for me, I usually do the apple and cloves end of October. Never thought to use sauerkraut when I make basically the same soup with cabbage instead , seeing I have the ingredients ( except the potatoes, no carbs) I'll be making this tonight. Yum Parker & Kellen nice Holloween decorations on the window, plus awesome pumpkins paintings and your decorations Tina very nice. Blessings to you and the family. 😊🇺🇲

[@HomeFreeAlaska]

I’ve actually made the soup with just cabbage also & it turns out really good! Happy Fall Patricia!🍁

[@debwhite6161]

I have a suggestion for Joe. When he wants to chop wood instead of using the log splitter, if he'll get an old tire and set the chunk of wood inside of it, when he chops it, the pieces won't go flying off to the side. They stay inside. And if he can find a rather huge, big around tree, he can cut a piece off, however thick/high he would want it, he can use it as a base to put the tire on, then the logs that need to be split inside. Hope y'all can understand what I'm trying to suggest 😄

Love seeing the home schooling. Its the best form of education especially today. The boys are thriving. Just an idea, but my son did this to his renovation in Brisbane. You could put in a wardrobe for storage into that wall that goes into your old bedroom, but opening up into your new room. It would only take less than a metre width in space but provide you with clothing storage esp winter stuff. Agree having a light filled space is important
