We Finally Answer Your Biggest Questions! Moving to France, Kids Schools & Evicting the Owner | Ep13

[@sbl2204]

You are the kindest person Fern. The guy will be fine, he’s living the way he wants to.

[@lzoescott7692]

Thank you Fern & Ryan, you are two ‘extra special’ human beings. Great example for your children and all of humanity 😇🌻

[@Sagepolice]

the way you dealt with that man is commendable! well done

[@lindaburrows4724]

Glad he’s gone Fern you gave him every opportunity you and Ryan helped him so much, now it’s your time xxx

[@valariebresee4450]

FERN you did the right things with that man

[@Nicole_Riviere]

Yes, I so agree! Winning is not always done by bulldozing, sometimes gentleness is the way🫶

[@Joelina456]

You were so kind to the horder. I have been going through life thinking of myself as a "good person" but listening to your story I actually started feeling shitty about myself and looking at you like an absolute ANGEL. Your property, an assload of stuff to do and renovate, little kids and absolutely no cooperation of somebody who is blocking everything. Crazy. You are SO KIND and stayed so respectful. I am in awe. All the best karma to you really! 🙂

[@tiffcat1100]

Plus the amazing hard work ethic ❤

[@gildalee8194]

I enjoyed this Q&A so much. Yes sit down talks are nice too watch. Fern I like the woman you have become. You may not realize it but over the last couple of years, you have changed a great deal. At least it seems that way to me. And for the better I think. Or maybe just your flog style has changed. Either way I like the new you. Before you were all about makeup and clothes and appearance. Now it's family and living life. Not so much emphasize on looks but more on quality of life. And I really like the new you! And what you did with the man was above and beyond kind and more than most people would have done. Well done and no need to feel any guilt. Can't wait for the next vlog.

[@patriciaruth2894]

You did more for the former owner than anyone else would have done. You are very kind. Love following the renovations! ❤❤❤❤

[@Coco-t5d]

Thank you for the Q&A. Appreciate hearing the purchasing process and the update on the previous owner. Very happy for you, Ryan, Seth and Nancy.❤

[@patriciapadgett4696]

Hola Fern. Another fab video, and i admire your truthfulness, your compassion & above all your hard work. A lovely family, enjoy sharing your life. Love, Patsy ❤️

[@cherrymcsharry8869]

Thank you both for all the updates. I am so relieved you finally managed to get the previous owner to move out. It might be an idea to check with the power/water/tax fonciere departments to make sure you aren't liable for any bills at the garage. Can't wait to see more of the renovations.

[@jillphillips3227]

What a long slog but you and Ryan were so compassionate and patient and the former owner.....well, that situation turned out as good as it could have. Hopefully, he'll get to Italy and start enjoying his life.....or not. It cannot be your problem at this point and your did the right thing. No regrets! Cheers!

[@Nicky-Mc]

You have been so patient with the previous owner - let it go now, with a clear conscience - it’s your house you need to move forward with your lives and he needs to also take some responsibility for what comes next for him. ❤I can’t wait to see how you continue to make this apartment your home. You have both worked so incredibly hard to get to the place you are now - so start to enjoy it and make some lovely family memories !! ❤

[@joannemiracle9534]

You are much kinder than most people in how you handled it. WELL DONE!!! Yes, protect your children/family first and foremost!

[@faithvansanden82]

You had to make the decision which was right for you. Glad the children have settled into school,the house will come together for you all x

[@MommyToMyBoys]

Fern, you and Ryan are so hard-working, organized and motivated. You have been through a long & tough journey just getting into your new property. Well done!! Best wishes & God's blessings on your lovely family and your new home.

[@jeanettedemosthenous2685]

Well done for finally removing the guy from your property. I guess the garage is quite close but hopefully he will stay away from you all. You shouldn't reproach yourself because you have been so patient and helpful to him. I wonder if the auction information included the fact that the owner still lived there and it would be up to you to evict him ? Hard to believe that the law allows this in France.

[@RosemaryOltarzewski]

Typical France 😮 pass on problems

[@irenelacour3486]

So happy you don't have to deal with that strange man. I never heard that he could stay there 3 years Crazy. I always wanted to move to France when I was younger. I hope all your wishes come true and maybe you will spe a k in French soon❤❤

[@tiffcat1100]

V interesting Q&A session. You were brilliant re the guy. You absolutely have to put your children & your family first & ensure the children are away from anyone with huge problems like that. For most people just the ordeal of moving & renovating, new schools etc would be more than enough, a lot, to cope with ❤

[@patriciahall2223]

Wonderful Q&A thank you Fern & Ryan for taking time to do this vlog much appreciated .... you are both so genuine just a beautiful couple....God Bless Always 🇨🇦

[@semikaren]

Good on ya Fern! Well done for forging forward and trying to learn French. It’s such a beautiful and romantic language. It’s fantastic that both of your children are fluent also, so cool for you all that you have embraced a new life and are now are living your best life…and so brave to take a leap of faith to come out of your comfort zone for a better life for you and your family 😃 Missing close friends and family is the most hardest though…. My Son went backpacking and travelling 10 years ago….he is now married with children and resides in Australia…he is living his best life….💙How I miss him though 😊 Great informative advice you have shared on your journey, all aspects you covered will no doubt be very helpful for any of your viewers who have desires to move to France 😊I applaud your soft, kind, and emphatic approach towards the previous owner, who clearly has mental health issues…very sad, but nonetheless, you had no choice to move him out…and he has a roof over his head …very incredibly difficult for you …but you did it in a nice way😊 can’t wait to see your home completed 😊

[@PATCASS722]

Hi, You've done all you can Fern. Best not to open the door to him again. Live your wonderful life.

[@tinaslouise]

I absolutely love your videos. You and Ryan are very kind hearted they way you handled the delicate situation. I think you are correct by not having contact with the previous owner. I look forward to the renovations.

[@dianegriffith3006]

Very informative Fern. Glad that’s behind you now and you can enjoy life!! It’s time.. Many Blessings to your whole family.. ❤️

[@patriciahall2223]

Hi Fern , you gave the guy every opportunity lots of care & much Respect very very kind indeed & he was very fortunate to have you & Ryan , just hope it's all done now & you all can enjoy your beautiful new home ....so proud of Seth & Nancy they've done so well & will continue to I'm sure of that ....thanks Fern & Ryan for the Q&A enjoyed that , people like you both make this world a much better place for us all ....God Bless always 🇨🇦

[@Insurancemom123]

You did the right thing Fern, don't feel bad, i was married to an addict and its all very similar behavior, unfortunately people have to want to help themselves and there is only so much you can do, and maintaining your boundaries is crucial.Best of luck now

[@jewelclosenberg7890]

what a difficult situation you bought into, pleased you managed to get him out but sadly not away. your home in the end will be beautiful and in a beautiful spot, i know what it’s like to buy a tip but find out the problems that one never antisapated . ❤

[@CherylAnderson0]

I am from the heart of the south…. Northeast Alabama. For the past 30 years the Florida panhandle has been my home. I am still torn missing my country roots and family back home but now Florida is home. I long for there when I’m here at home and when I go back to my hometown after a few days I’m ready to be back in Florida and it’s only 5 hours! Now my youngest daughter lives in Kuwait and that’s a whole other deal. I am so happy for you all and totally understand everything. Thank you for answering the questions.

[@abbiekaric8949]

Fern, Im really proud of you for taking French lessons. You can do it! You are both so incredible for your honesty. Thanks for answering all these questions.

[@monicateeling810]

Great parents and love your family ethos and work ethos ✅✅✅✅✅✅ADORE YOUR APARTMENT ✅✅✅✅

[@soletteperry3279]

Thank you for the Q&A; for all your work in making such great videos and for allowing us to watch you and your family living your best life! Blessings to you and your family! Keep safe and happy always ♥️ Aloha from Hawaii 🌺

[@KarenMackie-kh4jn]

Fern you and your family’s kindness has made such an amazing transformation already, incredible from where it was to where you are now and then in the life and health for your gentleman. You have made a Hugh impact for his well-being. I’m sure he recognises that too. I can’t wait to see you all settle more into your home making the transformations to your living space. Here’s to next time ❤😊🤩🍾🥂xxx 🇬🇧

[@kimstclair1879]

Well done Ryan and Fern, congrats for sticking with it and not giving up on your dream It won't be long and everything will be sorted and it will be time to plan your first christmas in the new property. Sending you best wishes and thank you for the update. Cheers😊❤

[@sharoncleverly5358]

You did the right thing Fern. There is only so much you can do for people. Good luck with the rest of the restoration. I love watching the transformations- good luck with your lessons xx

[@lynnkornegay1898]

I admire you & Ryan, Fern. That was a great Q & A that answered a lot I was wondering about. I ❤ your vlogs, and have followed you since Covid. How you handled the man (hoarder) was with dignity, respect, and kindness. You both showed your true colors, and you will be blessed by that. You did provided structure & boundries, and he didn’t abide. He took advantage of your good heart. Don’t look back.

[@CHERYLBERGLEWICZ]

Interesting Q+A. Can’t believe the guy is holed up in a garage now. But at least he is off your property. Happy to hear you and the family are doing well as you continue with settling in and completing your renovations. Looking forward to the next vlog.

[@sharonkendell-j4r]

Well done to both you fern & Ryan ❤❤❤

[@borntoroam2468]

Really enjoyed your Q&A Fern! I'm so excited for the decorating to begin to come along on your trips to the garden centers for those lovely terracota garden pots! You always do such a great job with that! Cheers! ❤

[@celestee.garcia2571]

You did the right thing. You didn't make him homeless, he did!

[@traciannveno]

Genius !! You did great with that man. Good job. Don’t let him ever back on the property. Honestly I don’t think he will come back. If he went to the beach that sounds like he is doing a million times better than before. Amazing really.

[@imsojazzed]

Fern thank you for your time today with Ryan clarifying the status of things especially with the previous owner. You sound a lot like me so I understand your struggle between engaging with him or not. And your position as a mother should be front and center so you are right to keep up your guard. You see him about so you know he is safe. And I do trust that if you don’t see him for a few days that you will contact the Authorities to conduct a Wellness Check to see if he is alive and well in the other structure where he is living. He is getting doses of Vitamin D now so he is on a path to wellness no doubt so thank you for having cared. Enjoyed this vlog and eager to see your renovations and interior decor evolve. Much love from across the Atlantic ❤

[@behindthegateatnumber8926]

Well done from all angles!! You navigated that whole situation perfectly & the best you could! Great vlog!! Xx

[@tiffcat1100]

Hear, hear!

[@lovelyskull3483]

I just joined your channel. Recommended from Nicki and Carlos. You are such a lovely family and I’m very much enjoying it. Thank you for the wonderful videos.

[@NicolaAllan-dq4fo]

You do seem happy living in Cannes, well done taking yourself off to school for French classes, you will be speaking with confidence as your doing more day to day things and seeing more people, also people in similar circumstances. Your children are enjoying life in France and city life introduces you to so much varied experience, I lived and worked in London for 16 years and loved every minute doing so many different things at the weekends or in the evening because your in the thick of it. Dance student, what an achievement, what an experience! Hope their keeping journals of their life in France, they will be fabulous to look back on as their journey unfolds, you and Ryan should praise yourselves for what you have achieved and giving to your children and also people like me watching your lives transform! Well done , looking forward to exploring city life with you all! Get the fuzzy stuff from out and raise a glass to your new adventures 🥂 😊❤

[@fernibops]

🥲 Thank you! ❤️💫

[@veronicarunge2241]

Thank you for answering the questions - you both handled the situation amazingly - gave of your time to aid that person - now you can enjoy your place and settle in. Thank you for sharing from Australia.

[@annettesharrock1236]

Thanks for the Q&A . I have a place in rural France and there are a lot of people that speak English so I had no problem whatso ever with the language there.,I think the only way to learn and pick up the language is try and talk in French with what ever little you know,you will pick up a lot of things in French . I am not fluent I understand more, but it hard putting it into a sentence. The patience you showed the previous owner must have been very hard to cope with. Fern you and Ryan were angles , you had to deal a lot with him plus helping him to sort out all his belongings, I am so glad your children have integrated well into French life.. Thanks for sharing 😘

[@micheledenise9079]

Thank you for the video Fern❤

[@danielbobberson9849]

Really a nice summary and it seems like the perfect spot for you and your family. Thanks for sharing all of this. So interesting.

[@vehooshseranian2367]

You guys are so nice and kind hearted people 🍂wishing you all a very happy, healthy and prosperous life💝

[@christineadkins4058]

Fern, I don't know how you made it through everything? I am glad that you were firm with the previous owner. You did the right thing. You might have done him a favor. Hopefully nothing but happiness from now on. Youu and your family deserve it. ❤😀🇱🇷

[@50angeleyes]

You went above and beyond to help with the previous owner but I don’t think there was anymore you could do. In the end 0:02 being firm with him and telling him to leave was the best thing. It actually sounds like he is doing better. You said he looks well and is going out to the beach and chatting with friends so perhaps what he needed in the end was some tough love. At least you can breath easy now knowing your apartment is yours and there is no one there who shouldn’t be there, especially with your children there. I love renovation vlogs so I am enjoying watching what you do

[@idalyons2947]

Hi Fern, I am so happy to see this Q&A, mainly to see how you handled getting the previous owner out of your premise. My concern was because of Seth and Nancy. Please, please, please don't converse with him, you and Ryan have done more than enough~you bought the property, paid off his bill through the auction, brought him boxes, food, allowed him to stay in your downstairs~enough is enough. No more taking advantage of good nice people~I can't wait to see the rest of the renovation. Oh maybe you should close off that door and make steps inside that leads to the basement,~just a thought. See you Sunday! Ida

[@alliejones9864]

Great Vlog guys, very interesting

[@ninadivani1314]

Thank your for this Q&A ❤ Very much appreciated putting effort in explaining the purchase proces. You are kind people, you did everythinng to help the man out. Challenging case even for professionals. Hard working people, you deserve such a nice family home. 🙋🏻‍♀️

[@kellyweber2317]

So relieved to hear that guy is off your property!

[@mrmrsc7185]

Im abit behind with the vlogs fern sorry,cpuld you explain why the house was up for sale but he was still in it when sold,if he didnt want to sell it was he made to?it sound like you had a tough time,but you did all you could and more,lots of love cant wait to see the journey xx

[@katbar6066]

What an amazing City to have your "First time living in a city" experience. I absolutely loved Cannes when we visited just before Covid. I would have loved to have spent longer there as I had no idea what a wonderful city it was. Next time I will stay longer.

[@Mariasnowden]

Loved your video about this, and your are such a lovely couple/ family, you have had such a long trial in getting your new property fit and transformed to live in . In the beginning I felt sorry for the guy thinking he must be so attached but he had more than enough time to leave as in if you did not move him downstairs he would of had to leave sooner. There wouldn’t be many others with the patience you have had dealing with him. Love those Damask cushions you have on the sofa 😊❤ xx

[@nevisscot7697]

Good move putting the kids in french school.they need to fit completely in.they will meet french friends therefore so will you ....i moved to italy from uk in 1981 .i live not so far from you in Liguria.in winter i often come to cannes or nice for the day ....chin up keep going .

[@Nubianette]

The auction process is pretty interesting. I’m so glad you got the man out of his house! He obviously has mental health issues, and I would stay away, not out of fear, but with your kids, you don’t have time!

[@KellieHenson-t8t]

It's always a pleasure seeing your channel. 🌱Happy🌿 is living it, just like you're doing it! Looking forward to watching you decorate your new home! You guys have great taste & style !🥂 Such good people, you truly are. Now... to get on growing, learning, exploring, and enjoying every day in your new city life. Exciting times, indeed! Even if it gets a bit chaotic, it's still a good good life 😊 Have an Amazing Autumn 🍂 Kellie in Texas

[@michellesimmonds-nutt9409]

Wow you both have done an amazing job with all the uphills in your journey so happy for you and your property is amazing, Cannes is our favourite place we try to come back each year ❤😊

[@angelathompson5196]

Thanks for your honesty and showing us How understanding and kind you are. wishing you and your family good health with lots of Happy memories in your new home.

[@elizabethheatley22]

Great update Fern! Good for you enrolling in French classes. Being able to communicate in French will really add to your enjoyment of your life there - and with the kids. Your “lodger” sounded like a con man, or was seriously ill. Good for you getting him off your property. Hopefully he is out of your lives for good.

[@eileenmurphy8798]

You've both done a great job and you couldn't do any more for the man

[@pamelazimmermann8164]

Hello Fern, We enjoyed your video as we moved to Spain from the USA. my husband is from Switzerland and I'm from the UK. We have been living here for a year on the Costa De Sol and loving it. We have the same issue with the language but just like you living on the coast there are a lot of people speaking english which makes it hard to become fluent especially at our age (78) and not working. We can enjoy our master athletic sport here with the weather. We miss family but also can't wait to get back to Spain.

[@lwest5686]

Thank you Fern and Ryan - ireally enjoyed all the news and glad the move is done and the fellow is out. * One question I meant to ask before - you refer to your new place as an apartment. It appears to be a house in the videos - do you share a wall with another residence, as in a duplex?

[@tiffcat1100]

Loved hearing about the French language journey. Would love to know if the kids speak French to each other at home/argue in French. I’d love to hear them talking French. Well done Fern for French school 🎉

[@cornishcoves9399]

Fern, Our kids are dropped into French school all the time in Canada; wish I had done it with all of mine just 2 of them...if they don't like it they will let you know...we call it French immersion, so it is adapted for children whose first language is English. the apt looks great so far; that is a tremendous amount of work that you all did and your Dad visiting at the end. You have had so much going on. all the best. Actually I wish my mother had done it for me as it is so much harder to learn once you are older.

[@cornishcoves9399]

I can't even get my head around that issue with squatter/trespasser on your property; I hope they have a law or solution...quite concerning

[@tiffcat1100]

My children were rising 4 & rising 7 when I moved to France. It was French school or nothing so there was no alternative. We lived there for 7 years & then had to move back. Daughter watches French true crime, son lives in the Channel Islands thus very near France. Brother lives in Brussels & has done for decades & our aged father lives in a fisherman’s cottage on an island off the coast of Brittany (with his much younger second wife, same age as me)!

[@michelewright9090]

We’re heading on a river boat cruise mid-October, beginning in Nice and ending in Lyon. I’ve been on Duolingo for 6 months and am trying so hard to learn the basics to get by. My goal is to at least show the people of France that I’m trying to adapt to their language. Kudos to you both for being outstanding people, parents and spouses. I really enjoy your videos and Vlogs. Any tips on yummy restaurants in Nice or Lyon? We are in Nice for a few days before our cruise. Sending love from Ontario, Canada.

[@Latti.TheFairy]

Love the two Leo’s❤. Fern I like your energy and transparency we both are 86 babies ❤❤

[@maryannshoup8559]

This Q & A was great. Ty! Have a wonderful weekend. MA

[@alisondoughty2194]

Congratulations, you all can enjoy your new home now. The cheek of French law is dispicable.🏆🎉😊

[@angelaplested8588]

Good job Fern . Your home is looking so nice you really do have a big heart. Happy fall cant wait to see more of your house. I was wondering what happened to him. Take care Love from Canada.

[@nikkiscott4341]

Your proof of title would enable you to take fairly speedy action, theoretically. However, you cannot boot someone out when the winter months arrive, technically at the start of 1st November each year. It is good that you managed to reclaim the whole property before that time. As far as Italy goes, I honestly think it would be best to avoid any involvement in that sort of venture.

[@christinesmith7391]

Thank you Fern. ❤

[@terryro761]

You did the right thing.

[@Amacott99]

He’s still in the garage…..I’m sorry but that’s absolutely hilarious 😂😂😂

[@Nicole_Riviere]

Is it possible to build some kind of a fence or wall towards the garage? So that you feel more separated from him? I also think you need some girl friends there. That would help with the homesickness and the loneliness. I think you have an amazing time ahead of you now❤️🥰

[@tootsieb11]

Given they didn't even know the garage existed I'm guessing it's not visible from the property and if the property is in a gated community then they would be protected from intruders.

[@norcal0076]

Great chat Fern❤

[@valeriehill6382]

Well done Fern 😘

[@artbrutnewyork]

Glad you were able to get rid of the previous owner using a diplomatic, compassionate yet firm approach. Question: Did the previous owner get any of the proceeds from the auction with which to secure a new living sitatuion or were the proceeds used to pay for back property taxes, etc?

[@susansullivan2071]

I’m so pleased that you have a lovely apartment in the city Lovely ❤ Best wishes

[@beccavry]

I'm so relieved that he's gone (kind of, at least)!

[@donnaclark4479]

Good for your Fern you & Ryan have put up with enough from him.

[@maggiegray1698]

There are many unanswered questions about this man. Did HE put the apartment on the market because it sounds as though he was evicted against his wishes? By the management company? Had social services been involved? What was his story,which you mentioned? I wouldn't normally ask these questions but it was a Q&A

[@derekolson1857]

You are both inspirational, from Portugal.

[@julieswales7671]

A great vlog, Heres a question for your next Q and A (of you dont mind) does your property have a front facade or just the part where the stairs are? .

[@sylviamatthee8172]

It is very sensible to learn the French language. You have no choice. You are living in France now. You really need to become fluent. Good luck. I was brought up in The Netherlands, and was educated in 4 languages. This was standard 'in my day'. You will only become fluentbin thevforeign language when you live in 'that' country, as you do in France. You will get there! I have lived abroad since I was 22. In two different countries (two different languages). Eventually, you will acclimatise. I did. You do grow away, as you will develop differently from your old friends 'at home'. This is to be expected as your life has changed so much from your old life in the UK. I wish you happiness and every success in your journey. Have fun! PS: Do go to the French cinema (which is great) and watch this year's latest version of 'Le Comte de Monte Cristo' featuring the French actor Niney. Brilliant film. I am sure that you know that the film is based on a book by Alexandre Dumas. I loved the film. Do give it a go! 😊

[@tytianneli]

I do admire you, all that done in such a short time! For me it took ab 20 years to feel really at home here in Sanremo - and now I have to say it was easier before: now I am homesick all the time, six months a year when I'm at home in Finland and the 6 winter months I spend in Italy hehe.Luck Fern with your studies. And who knows, maybe we'll see sometime in Sanremo. Waiting for your next wideo I send you lots of love

[@wendynicholss6886]

Loved the Q & A Fern, can I ask where your cushions are from? They are so gorgeous 😍

[@nonnieTerri]

Very interesting video. Good job.

[@Maddie2u]

You displayed greater restraint than I could have with squater dude Fern. In fact, it would annoy me till no end to see him out and about.....I'd be ducking everytime I saw him. I find as I get older I have less tolerance for nonsense and man are we surrounded it in the Western World now. You did well, all that cleaning and cleaning and schlepping....Fern, you now have me convinced that Yorkshire folk are real scrappers (in your case, with style) and that quality that will always stand you in good stead. I should know. First rate. ♥️🇨🇦

[@traceywells7701]

Incredible story Fern and so courageous. I wish you and your family good wishes and further enjoyment of your life. You should be very proud of your achievements. Ps your communication style is incredible. Tracey

[@tiffcat1100]

I agree, they were both so relaxed in front of the camera (squirm) & with each other & so fluent & eloquent ❤

[@lindadavis3728]

I admire the way you and Ryan handled a very complicated situation with the previous owner of the property. In all fairness to the police, there hands are tied so for you to bring the possibility of previous ownership being able to remain in the auctioned premises for 3 years is eye opening and very helpful for those that buy at an auction. They pay in cash so that could be troublesome for many investors.

[@1JOHN2_20]

UPDATE: I FOUND WHAT I NEEDED. BLESSINGS Hi Fern, Great video! Where can you find price history for properties in France? God bless you and your family

[@nikkiscott4341]

Funny the description of the viewing day. That said, if you can see the potential, so can others. 😊

[@georgejobe961]

I am sure price will have been a huge factor, especially the condition it was in, and the fact that it had a tenant living in the property

[@nikkiscott4341]

​@@georgejobe961A tenant without legal title. ;-)

[@LeeUK2]

Hi We're currently house hunting on the Riviera How do you cope with the mosquitos? I've never known anywhere this bad.

[@SindyBoyle]

Great vlog, much appreciated.

[@Tigereye-s4p]

I can say,hurry to learn the language…your children main language will be what they are doing school in and the friends speak…I moved as a child to another country…and i can assure you,even you as a mother that gives them all,will feel as an outsider and lost,even at home,when your children will dream in french and talk french with another…

[@Tigereye-s4p]

Also when they are emotional it will come out in french,happiness and anger,everything….

[@red-one5923]

If you dream in English your main language will be english !

[@Tigereye-s4p]

???That‘s what i‘m saying,very soon they will dream in french and if you can‘t speak their emotions language there will grow a distance,no matter how small,that a loving mother don‘t want…i lived it myself.

[@hollykeller1545]

I moved to Austria from the USA as a child. They just put me in school and I learned fluent German out of necessity. Kids can do that! But my home life was still English speaking. I can’t imagine it causing Mom to feel lost or as an outsider in her own home!! Fern does seem to have the drive to learn French tho so….

[@hollykeller1545]

Very informative episode!❣️🩷
