I always look forward to watching one of your thoughtful videos. This one is so beautiful, I love the scenery! Thank God your son is doing well. Much love to you and your family ❤

[@myBIGtinyhouselife]

You are so kind! ❤️❤️❤️

[@youtubehandle0]

So happy to hear that Keaton got the surgery he needed and is doing well! Especially when our health care system is notorious for the wait times. The deer in your yard was so cute! The beach with the rippling water looks so calming.

[@myBIGtinyhouselife]

Thank you so much! He's doing great!

[@7Jennifer]

Great snow angel! Such an idyllic looking location. I would be so happy to live in a place that looked like that. That's some fluffy snow! So pretty! The shot at 1:18 is mesmerizing. ❄🌲❄🌲 Also, love the look (green) of the house at 1:46. I want to sit on the bench at 4:10 and just enjoy that view! I hope the deer buddy found some sustenance. 🩷 Sending all the best for Keaton's continued recovery!

[@myBIGtinyhouselife]

Thanks 😊

[@oldyellow8120]

You look like you are well set up! A beautiful tiny home, an efficient, capable, practical vehicle, and truly as you say, a beautiful place to live. A far cry from the trailer park days in Calgary! Relax and enjoy!

[@louiseevans6121]

I hope Keaton stays well and safe. You too!!

[@myBIGtinyhouselife]

[@myBIGtinyhouselife]

You're welcome. 🥰

[@tennmcclain]

The water is so pretty rippling behind you. Happy your son went through surgery well. I am looking forward to your ideas for camping in your RAV 4.

[@katryan8983]

and glad your son went through surgery well...

[@myBIGtinyhouselife]

❤️

[@ginnyandersen8527]

Sunshine and snow makes for such beautiful surroundings. Love snow angels! So glad to here your son is doing well and has such a wonderful gal there to support and love on him. I am sure that is a balm to your soul to know she is there for him.

[@bchost]

So nice to see you enjoying life, even when it's colder and snow on the ground. Love your positivity, very uplifting! ❤❤❤

[@myBIGtinyhouselife]

Thanks so much! 😊

[@karenramos9143]

Such beautiful scenery. I can see what drew you to this place.

[@myBIGtinyhouselife]

Thanks 😊 It's magical here!

[@chasingthemoonrv]

Your video was like a breath of fresh air. Such pretty scenery! Loved the snow angel…lol, I didn’t get as much snow so mine was a bit muddy! Very glad Keaton is doing okay. ❤

[@myBIGtinyhouselife]

❤️❤️❤️

[@louiseevans6121]

Absolutely beautiful! We’ve been getting this in Michigan too. The way the trees get coated with the snow is magical.

[@myBIGtinyhouselife]

It really is!

[@heathermcelroy3303]

Happy to read your son is doing ok. Take care. Hugs from a very snowy Ontario!

[@myBIGtinyhouselife]

Thank you! Sending hugs back. ❤️

[@saragilliam2189]

glad his surgery went well, thank you for the beautiful walk

[@katryan8983]

Love the snow falling!

[@JB-eg1tb]

How lovely! Looks like the deers are back to your garden buffet!

[@myBIGtinyhouselife]

They sure are 😊🦌

[@sharonarrendale8418]

Good to see you. So happy that your son is doing better. Take care and hope to see you soon.❤

[@kiddycar16]

So thankful that Keaton is doing well and has a speedy recovery. For parents it always stressful no matter how old your child is. Now you can let beautiful snow and walk on beach restore you. Take care and stay safe ❤️🙏.

[@myBIGtinyhouselife]

He's doing great, thanks! 🙏

[@Caoucaren]

❤ blessings to you and yours

[@cathydorie1887]

What land mass is across the water, when u were on the beach; that we see? So pretty there

[@myBIGtinyhouselife]

Quadra Island.

[@debbiejansen555]

I love snow from inside looking out!! Never liked being out in it. That's why I moved to Florida! 😀❤

[@myBIGtinyhouselife]

☺️

[@Esther-jp2mg]

Thank you for the lovely walk...especially along the shore. The sound of the water lapping against the shore soothes my soul. Glad Keaton is doing well.

[@myBIGtinyhouselife]

You're welcome! He's doing much better.

[@pammayhew9886]

Beautiful place for a walk by the ocean. Is that land on the other side the mainland or one of the many islands? Good to hear that Keaton is recovering from surgery. I'm a mom too and know well what it's like when your kiddo is not well. And of course, diabetes adds it's own challenges. Take care of yourself Adelina.

[@myBIGtinyhouselife]

Thanks Pam. Yes it's an island but I'm not sure which one. 😊

[@CuzmicTarot]

A real life example of a winter ❄️ 🎄 wonderland ⛄️ 🦌 😌💖👏🏾

[@suzannebird9717]

Hello from Manitoba ! What a beautiful snow angel !! That's awesome 💞

[@12Gaile]

We also had a snowstorm over night. Only 4 inches so we were on the lower end of predictions....So sorry for Keegan's surgery. Sending healing vibes his way. Take care. ♥️😾🐈🌹

[@myBIGtinyhouselife]

Thanks ☺️

[@cynthiaslebodnik6945]

The walk along the water is so calming.

[@wendajones9040]

We’re 100% with you on your stance against. Mr. T.

[@myBIGtinyhouselife]

❤️

[@ginny9311]

What a totally relaxing video. With all that is going on to the south of you (USA) this video was most welcome. Thank you.

[@myBIGtinyhouselife]

I'm glad you found it relaxing! 😊

[@gabrieleponte5188]

Thanks for the video Adelina. Good to hear Keaton is doing ok. Just like a mom, always worrying about our kids, No matter how old they are.❤ We got a big dump of snow on the mainland Too. Our street is still white, and it looks pretty. If i did a snow angel, at 70, I wouldn't be able to get back up. The deer, How sweet. I agree with you 100 percent Adelina, You dont need the stress Of going out in possibly dangerous conditions If you dont have to. Your set up with your tiny and the snow covered trees is just beautiful. Enjoy.

[@myBIGtinyhouselife]

I totally agree with you about the snow! It’s beautiful as long as I don't have to drive in it 🤓

[@brigittecrawley1872]

Enjoy the warmer weather.

[@myBIGtinyhouselife]

😊

[@TikiTackPrincess]

What a lovely peaceful video Adelina. Glad to hear your son is okay. I love the ocean shots. Have a good week. 😊Sue

[@myBIGtinyhouselife]

Thanks, you too Sue! 😊

[@SuperRiverQueen]

Thanks for sharing. Have a nice week. 🙏❣️

[@myBIGtinyhouselife]

Thank you! You too!

[@chrissiemorton4126]

Oh wow love the carvings and the talk...Once a mom...they've hooked you forever!My daughter has scared me a few times!

[@lorib-g1908]

❤ to Keaton, I'm so glad to hear he's doing better now. Good that you're enjoying another beauty BC day! A "take a picture & slap it on a postcard" sunny day in BC ❤

[@myBIGtinyhouselife]

So true!

[@KarenSteward-ez5tv]

Thank you for the beautiful nature footage. I live in the PNW, too, but I don't get out much. This video....and many of your others...inspire me to get back outside. So glad your son is doing better. I love you, too. 🤗☀

[@myBIGtinyhouselife]

Thank you ☺️

[@BarbaraWest-oops]

Always so good to see you and hear your kind wishes for safety and positivity. Thank you! I'm glad Keaton is doing well. The photos and walking tour were so beautiful, and I had to smile at the deer being so cautious as she approached the snow angel. ("What is this? Did some animal I should watch out for roll around in this patch of snow???") I'd love to hear more about the driftwood wolf and the (Haida? Klamath? Tlingit?) carved gate!

[@myBIGtinyhouselife]

❤️

[@martykong3592]

: ) THANKS MUCH and ENJOY! Glad to hear Keaton is OK :) You walk and SNOW ANgel were a Kick : ) We STILL have SNOW and below freezing at night.. can;t wait for it to warm up so I can resume walking too. ALL the BEST and Cheers : )

[@MagdaOlchawska]

We hardly ever get snow in London, UK, but I do enjoy sun and snow :) I hope your son is on a mend by now.

[@justmaria5806]

A: Its always hard to be separated from a child when they have health issues and/or surgery. Thank God that Keaton has Christy in his life! She can be there to nag when needed and coddle him when its also needed. Of course we both know its never as good as a mom, but she seems to be a great mate and companion for your son. Glad to see you out in the sunshine soaking up that vitamin D. I've heard its good for healing a soul thats had a bit of pounding lately. All is good A............

[@myBIGtinyhouselife]

I'm so happy that Keaton has found such an amazing partner for sure 🥰

[@susanstimson871]

Walking a beach is my favorite thing!

[@nilsagracia388]

Hi Adelina, what beautiful landscapes. I visited Victoria a long time ago and loved it. I hope I get a chance to go back again one day and I'd love to meet you for a cup of coffee. Keep enjoying your weekend and I hope your son gets well soon. Sending hugs.😊 😊

[@Shannonlp6152]

Beautiful snow!!! We here in NC have not seen hardly any yet. Yours was so pretty. And I pray for your son. I’m a type 2 diabetic. It is a nasty little disease. I pray he is feeling stronger and better ❤

[@myBIGtinyhouselife]

Thank you so much for your prayers. He's doing well now ☺️

[@Britbabe53]

Darn, I was really hoping to keep that record of a snowless winter going! LOL So close....

[@speakn0ev022]

It was fun for a couple days, but the novelty has worn off and it can leave anytime

[@myBIGtinyhouselife]

😂😂😂

[@Ladythyme]

I love snow! We got a couple of inches today and more expected over the next week…..yayyyy! There hasn’t been comparatively much this year….but then again…the season’s not over yet. 😊

[@AlienAria68]

It's so beautiful there! Warm thoughts. I'm in the Okanagan, and it has also been unseasonably cold here this past week, going as low as 20 below. Unfortunately, I was only leaving my bathroom tap dripping at night, not during the daytime, and when I got back home six days ago early in the evening, it was already seventeen below. Something froze, probably the pipe under my tiny house, so I haven't had running water since then. Both my heated water hose and sewer hose have extra insulation on them and the sewer hose also has heat tape. So bummed, this is a major pain in the you-know-what. It's still very cold this week, so I figured the safest thing to do was to wait things out until it warms up at the end of the upcoming week (especially the night temperatures), and let it thaw out naturally. I'm getting water from my sister and another neighbour in my RV park, so it's bearable. There is also thankfully a washroom in the laundry building. Lesson learned, I'll be more careful next winter.

[@maryzackarian7870]

We just got 6 inches in RI part of New England, US. Pretty but hate the shoveling and cleaning up . When the snow falls at night it is so quiet and beautiful. What a great job on that snow angel nice and clean!! lol. ❤️😀❄️

[@Kiki-wi7px]

Hey Adelina !! 👋 Such a "❄️ 🌨 ❄️" Beautiful Winter Wonderland. Ya' really do Live in a Great Place. Nice to Have the Different Season's. 🙂 I'd prefer the "Warmer" Climate though. Thank you for taking us along on your Walk. Enjoyed it Very Much. Have Never "made" a Snow Angel. Brrr !! The Totem's and that Unusual but Really "Clever" Wolf that was "Created" . . . C-O-O-L. Glad that Keaton is OK ! I've also had Diabetes ... Type-1 for Many Year's. "58" to be Exact. No Fun. So Very Grateful to Be Here. You Stay Warm. Bless You. 🤗

[@myBIGtinyhouselife]

Thank you! 😊

[@lauraautry3525]

I have a RAV4 as well AWD. I love it! Let me know how the kitchen set up goes and sleeping. We had (in Amarillo TX 11” of snow in January but being retired I didn’t have to go anywhere!! Love you videos Adelina as always. Especially when you take us out for a walk on the beach. 😃

[@sandralnwebster3204]

Adelina: hope you are feeling well after your day surgery-you look like a weight has been lifted off you! There is nothing like walking on a beach in the sunshine! If I'm not mistaken you are in Campbell River looking across to Quadra Island? I could be all wet but you never know😊 Not enough snow here to make a snow anything,but it's cold and will be for about a week or more;then winter will be on the way out! Wishing you and your son good health! Cheers from Penticton BC❤

[@mavahuth5044]

I'm glad Keaton is doing well 😊❤ A while ago I heard a doctor say diabetics should have a sick kit . Like a container with extra medicine and a plan on what you should do if you get sick. I know you don't feel like eating when you are sick but I'm sure you know. It's not safe to have low blood sugar. You just have to be extra careful. Your water area is very pretty. A few weeks ago we had snow two times in about a week. For the southern part of the United States, that is unusual. You couldn't get out of my area. I'm sure I'm not the only one but I'm glad you are still talking to me. Because I would miss the information you you teach us. Like your cooking channel etc. Take care of yourself and your kids 😊❤

[@myBIGtinyhouselife]

A 'sick kit' is a great idea. I'll pass that along ☺️

[@Canadiangirl-y7o]

Omg i sent in question as to where you lived in Ontario, apparently you don't.

[@myBIGtinyhouselife]

Haha, nope! I'm on the West Coast 🙂

[@lauraautry3525]
