I wish more people could grasp the concept on focusing on what truly matters. People, in our society, are all about MORE...and instant gratification. The reasons people were successful seem to have been lost. Nobody ever said the words, "starter home" back in the day... If folks were lucky enough to buy a car, they took care of it AND KEPT IT. Sadly, we live in a disposable society. People don't value what they have...it is all about the MORE. Thank you for this...gives hope that all is not lost. 👍

[@jonihaworth7016]

Thank you for saying this.

[@triciag3311]

Your home is very nice, but your baby stole the show. She's so adorable!

[@OurJourneyToBliss]

Haha, thank you, Tricia!!

[@jeannierobletto1798]

Right! Such a doll!❤

[@purselmer5931]

How are we supposed to listen to a word you're saying when you have that gorgeous baby on your shoulder? That's just not fair in any way!

[@OurJourneyToBliss]

Haha, thank you!!

[@LR-vg4et]

Truth! All I heard was blah blah blah. #BabyGotMeLike #BabyCrinkles #YallMakeSomePurtyBabies

[@janetspell1396]

42 years ago, we too, were a family of five in a small 2 bedroom mobile home for several years. We were able to save up enough money to eventually buy a piece of land and have a medium size home framed up, then finished it ourselves, as we had the cash money! Love your home!❤️

[@amandablackwell6134]

She has made this home so sweet for her family

[@TheTaits08]

It is so refreshing to see a home tour of a mobile home. My family of 4 live in an apartment but I love mobile homes. You've decorated it so nicely.

[@OurJourneyToBliss]

Thank you!!

[@StephS503]

Very impressive! Our home is 1400, not a manufactured though. Sometimes I feel like we should move to something bigger and “better” but seeing this really opened up my eyes! Going to keep being thankful for my little home, we’ve been blessed with everything we need ❤️

[@OurJourneyToBliss]

This is wonderful!! It is easy to be intrigued by 'more'. But we believe the rewards are twofold when we're happy and content with 'less'. Thank you for commenting!

[@MsLavelle76]

omg. you have changed my mind on looking at a mobile home for my first home. thank you so much for the tour.

[@OurJourneyToBliss]

This is great! Don't limit yourself, explore as many options as you can! Good research goes a long way! Keep us updated on your journey!!

[@deniseflores4116]

We lived in a mobile home for 14 years and I miss it

[@meglane2020]

I thought the same thing!

[@elunaa.7011]

I just recently downsized very drastically too. I get a little twinge of that old "I need to keep up with the Joneses" when I drive by the big fine homes in my neighborhood, but overall I am so much less stressed and content in a smaller home! *PRECIOUS baby by the way!!!*

[@NovaSullivanx]

i love how people use old ratchet windows as decoration and i just have them as windows lol

[@OurJourneyToBliss]

Lol, trust us, we understand!!

[@annieinhisgrip]

I'm so glad to have found your channel. My husband and I are in the process of downsizing to a manufactured home. We currently live in a 2400 sq. ft. home with our two children 23 and 19. The 23-year-old will be married soon. And our 19-year-old son will be moving with us. With this move we will be completely debt free! And my husband will be retiring in 5 years! You did a beautiful job with your home. Very cozy, comfy and inviting!

[@OurJourneyToBliss]

Thank you for your post, Annie!! We love hearing about other people taking the steps to simplify find more happiness in life!! Keep us updated on your journey!

[@markme4]

Hello? Are you still there? Its been one year since your post, how's it going? My wife and I are considering down sizing into a mobile home as well.

[@TheKappybook]

Your home is quite relaxing and calm... I know it’s probably a wee bit chaotic with the adorable munchkins but your intention shines through....

[@frijolsmom]

because of your color scheme, you made the home appear much bigger - very, very nice home. I like how you guys are doing things in stages.

[@OurJourneyToBliss]

Thank you so much, Myra!!

[@Theresa-jq3dw]

The only regret anyone has about downsizing and living with less is that they didn’t do it sooner.❤️

[@OurJourneyToBliss]

Haha, very good point!!

[@Nurse3811]

Theresa 1967 so true. I have wasted so much money on sewing supplies and expensive fabrics that I wonder if I’ll ever live long enough to use it all up. At least I caught myself and refuse to buy more...well, maybe the occasional zipper or quilt backing, as needed....🙄

[@lilnette4]

That is living! Everything looks beautiful and functional

[@OurJourneyToBliss]

Thank you!!!

[@c.ggraygray9757]

Amen. I agree. Great job.

[@c.ggraygray9757]

+Our Journey To Bliss God bless you, and your family.

[@c.ggraygray9757]

+Our Journey To Bliss oh and you are sound so sweet. Very nice calm voice. Your baby was so relaxed.

[@livingauthenticallyonmyownterm]

What a BEAUTIFUL home !!! I love how you've cut down on what you have. My family is doing the same thing. It's so hard to get rid of the things we love, but it's important to us to live SIMPLY !!! We went from over 1800 square feet to 540 in our retirement home, so even though change is really hard for us, it's sooooo good to feel less burgeoned with stuff.

[@J.I.0]

This is wisdom... I'm doing the same thing, my singlewide is 3bed/1bath though. Save your money and put it towards what matters! Awesome interior as well

[@OurJourneyToBliss]

Thank you!!

[@MommyEtc]

Your home is so cute!

[@OurJourneyToBliss]

Thank you!!

[@nadiaorillo9785]

Yeah not too big but very organize and beautiful

[@lbu9542]

I don't know you personally but am so proud of your guys! Living simply, saving money will really make such a better quality life was smiling for you this whole video. Blessings as you continue to renovate!

[@OurJourneyToBliss]

Thank you so much!! This comment made us smile also!!

[@robynhowes5667]

Baby is too distracting.......sooooooo cute!!!

[@OurJourneyToBliss]

Haha, this made us laugh!! Thanks, Robyn!

[@elizabethmoffat678]

Seriously!!! So darn cute!

[@Nurse3811]

robyn howes you are so right! So darling

[@mikaelmikael200]

I just stumbled upon this older video. You guys are a cute family. And .. Mrs Ma'am.. you look amazing! I just had my 4th little (uh 5 mos ago) and wish I looked that put together! When he was a month old it was an accomplishment to have just brushed my hair. Lol. Love your decor had you not told me it was only 14 wide I would have thought it was much bigger!

[@JC-vz9hz]

The key is home layout. This is a good one.

[@AlisonReviews]

I have personally lived in 2 manufactured homes in my lifetime and while it may be a small space, it is absolutely possible to make it look good and downsize while still staying organized. You guys did a good job!

[@suhailycruz7262]

Wow I’m amazed! My husband has been trying to convince me to get into a manufacturer home and I just couldn’t wrap my head around how it would work but seeing this gives a whole new prospective. Thank you for this video!!

[@cindyossola7756]

You have a beautiful home!

[@maryjanewolfe5285]

U an ur husband did such a great job remodeling ur home it's beautiful, also I like the way u realize the blessings that was given to u that's wonderful.

[@calisahardy4845]

I want out of my apt sooo bad- this makes me think it _is_ possible! Cute home... *adorable* baby!

[@conniepine1770]

Your home is very nice and your baby girl is just adorable.

[@OurJourneyToBliss]

Thank you, Connie!!

[@joycep3776]

I love the simple elegance of this place. You are amazing to have a newborn and five people living there and it being so organized and lovely. And by the way, Amber you are lovely too!

[@OurJourneyToBliss]

Thank you so much, Joyce!!!

[@hannahcrumley3103]

You did a great job! It’s so bright and pretty! And the blue cabinets👌🏼😉- love the color. I painted the inside of my cabinets that color! We bought a small ranch house under 1000 sq ft 17 years ago/ down sized from a house more than 3x the size. That was before downsizing was popular!😂 but we have never regretted it! We have three kids and our youngest was 9 months old when we moved (It gets really tight as they get older). We have constantly learned to simplify- that’s been a really good thing! When we bought the house it had very dark stained barn board on every wall through the kitchen & living areas- I painted them all a very light sand color- huge difference! My grandma used to say: “paper & paint will make ya what ya ain’t” 😂 it’s so true ! A good amount of elbow grease helps too! You two are hard workers and your hard work is paying off! The money you are saving today - you will thank yourself for later!😉👍🏼 Enjoy your beautiful Home!

[@OurJourneyToBliss]

Thank you so much for your post and encouragement!! We hope 17 years from now we are as successful with our journey as you have been!!!

[@Largefamilyfloridalifestyle]

My family of 5 live in a small 900 square foot house 😊

[@suzilindblad5207]

Wonderful job fixing up this mobile home! Looks very spacious and fully functional. A smaller home also encourages more outdoor activity!

[@Quirkney]

Baby

[@OurJourneyToBliss]

Haha, thanks for the comment!!

[@drummergirl495]

You’ve done an incredible job turning this mobile home into a cozy, beautiful 🏠 home...

[@AprilsHome]

I really love how you’ve decorated everything, it is nice and simple with really nice touches of decor, very inspiring. I just subscribed and look forward to more of your videos! 😀

[@OurJourneyToBliss]

Thank you, April!!

[@shellyherrera3222]

This video brought me to tears. I remember as a young married couple starting out. RIP to my babies daddy. We bought a single wide 4 bedroom. The joy if owning our own home. Thank you for this and God bless your family

[@kimhackney9834]

I love your home .when i was child i live in mobile home with 7 people in 1,000 sq-ft it was the best time in my life .thank you for sharing god bless you and your beautiful family xo.

[@2plus1is36]

Thanks for showing your lovely home! We are a family of 5 and live in a 1B 1B apartment. This is we can save 💵 to buy some land and build or first get a small mobile home on the land and build a small home in the future. Happy to see people that think different as well!!

[@dally2157]

What a beautiful family. Living in simplicity and peace it's the way to go.

[@krisallfrey6747]

Thank you so much for taking us along on your journey. I have recently downsized from a large home to a 1500 sq ft mobile home. I was fortunate enough to find a mobile that was in great shape and had some major updates done such as windows, AC, and roof. I have added new flooring, paint, and fixtures. I like to repurpose things and have a wonderful repurpose store in my area that I frequent. It is so nice to see young people like yourselves living a simple happy life. I look forward to seeing more of you.

[@FamilyPlayTime]

You did an awesome job decorating! We are a family of 8 in a 1,200 square foot ranch home. It can get cluttered sometimes but we try to donate as much as possible! 😃

[@OurJourneyToBliss]

Thank you! Yes, donating becomes a habit, lol! Thanks for the comment!

[@laurastafford6217]

What a great yard!! awe you had your precious baby, so cute. The inside is beautiful. Hello sweet little fella!

[@Someonesaidthis]

it actually looks like a nice roomy house. you did a lovely job. i am considering buying a manufactured home to put on my property.

[@OurJourneyToBliss]

Thanks, D G!! MFD homes are great options to have available!

[@robinkishmiller2596]

This mobile home is spotless. Wow

[@sashaprayslay196]

Y’all did a good job and it looks so clean without a lot of clutter.

[@lisalewis300]

Family of five I love your downsize video! I myself, Lisa live also in a modular or manufactured home. Living in homes like these you learn to be more humble and appreciate space and home life. I've just started doing some Renovations and remodeling after living here 12 years now. But I am enjoying every minute of seeing from before and after what my home can do. I have had some Plumbing challenges and electrical challenges living in this home but I am slowly working out financially how to get past that.

[@starr6465]

I love the light feel. The kitchen is LOVELY

[@OurJourneyToBliss]

Thank you!!

[@naomiscollectionofvideos4231]

I love how you did your whole place but my favorite is the kids room😍

[@seriousladywes8456]

I like that you guys made it simple

[@kjohnson9282]

you did a good job on your home. Will be happy when you show more. May God bless your family

[@mssandybeach1]

Absolutely gorgeous!!! You all did an awesome job....

[@jessannchittum9360]

I love this so much! Looks super cozy.

[@AGM-ts5bb]

Very nice! Thank you for sharing. 😊 My mind changed for the better when my mom moved into a mobile home; 2 bedrooms; jacuzzi; 45 oak cabinet kitchen with an island; 2 fireplaces. I couldn't believe it. She landscaped too, and she was always good at editing the "stuff" in our home. I am not. I wish I were.

[@sharonabraham5207]

The home is beautiful, the baby is so cute, your son is such a wonderful child. Blessings to the family

[@lemonsqueeze84]

Your home is lovely. We are a family of 6 and are in a 3bdrm 888 square ft manufactured home. Yours seems to be more open than ours so we have trouble making furnature work. My children are 12, 10, 6, 4 and only one is a boy. We also have to 85 pound dogs. It gets tight as they grow but we make it work the best we can. At the end of the day all that really matters is the fact that we are even blessed enough to have a home in the first place. Thank you for sharing.

[@Will4fun]

Very nice clean look in a small home. Thank you for videotaping this and posting !

[@Little_chibi_123]

Awww look at that precious angel! Your home is beautiful. Absolutely love the coffee and tea bar! U did a great job utilizing space. I am a mom of 3 moving into a 4 bedroom 1100 sq ft home so i too have a familyof 5. 6 counting my pup. Thanku for the video

[@patricialanza223]

Love this video! You guys are wonderful and I relate: seven children plus two equals a family of nine and one bathroom. Once we had four children in one bedroom with triple bunks and a crib. Those were the days my friend. Beautiful baby.

[@christinabrodrick6406]

I love what you’ve done with your home

[@loriwatkins7836]

Love it.....your little baby looks like my daughter when she was a baby...I couldn't stop looking at her

[@manuelagilo6066]

Greetings from Las Vegas! Very nice all white decor.

[@tudywittlake1072]

I'm really impressed. You have a beautiful home. You prove that we really dont need alot of stuff to live. We could all learn from you.Thank you for sharing.

[@kristinolan5737]

Looks homey and fantastic! Great job and a wonderful place to raise your precious family!

Absolutely love your home. You have a wonderful family.

Your home is beautiful, I think you have done a great job. You are very blessed.

[@OurJourneyToBliss]

Thank you very much!!!

[@strengthoverevil4397]

Wow, great size mobile home. We lived in a 732 sq ft one for a year with our 4 kiddo’s. We didn’t have nearly that much space but you know what? I was all ours! Bought and paid for ☺️

[@OurJourneyToBliss]

That's the goal for us, too! Thank for commenting, Jennifer!

[@barrymoss797]

Love it!! Family is most important!! Not stuff!! 🥰

[@carylineaviles4599]

Your home in beautiful! God bless you guys.

[@OurJourneyToBliss]

Thank you so much, Caryline!!

[@afringedweller]

Great job! One hint is that if you want your shirts to hang over the bureau, use the hangers with short necks. The long necked hangers I think, are made for coats with full or fur collars. You have a beautiful family!

[@OurJourneyToBliss]

Thank you so much!! Great tip!!

[@gailkathleen8752]

All I can see is that little beauty in your arms !!! Adorable .. Very nice and homey .. 🌼💗

[@tanyamcnutt8480]

Your home is very lovely, so cozy and comfortable

[@nosolar2023]

Stunning!! Just beautiful! Beautiful family! May the lord bless yall!!🙏🙏🙏

[@heatherbauer5265]

Very nice home. We lived in a manufactured home for ten years. People were always surprised by it, it was very nice.

[@lucyl.4356]

You did a beautiful job updating your mobile home. I love your blue kitchen cupboards. Looks so much bigger and it's a nice floor plan. I wish you the best with your beautiful family.

[@knowthyself5732]

Very nice ,and comfortable looking

[@OurJourneyToBliss]

Thank you!!

[@andreascholl5399]

You have such a beautiful home! I love that you make what you have work

[@OurJourneyToBliss]

Thank you, Andrea!!

[@Rollimggiant]

I love your home. It radiates love.

[@marilyncausey9348]

Lovely home and beautiful family!

[@kiraloveall2651]

I agree, Tricia G.! I sure loved the house, but had quite a time concentrating with that little cutie stealing the spotlight! Precious baby!

[@jigglywigglyjello1276]

Great job, it came out awesome. I love the duster you're wearing. Your baby is so sweet, tfs🤗

[@OurJourneyToBliss]

Thank you so much!!

[@elizabethmoffat678]

I absolutely love the colors! And gosh darn that baby girl is so cute!!! Need to gee up my kids for grandbabies lol.

[@OurJourneyToBliss]

Haha, thank you!!

[@branzfactor81]

So cute. Love the way you decorate.

[@simplypatti6705]

I love your little home! My husband and I are looking forward to downsizing both our home size and our expenditures. Singlewide homes are such a good option!

[@OurJourneyToBliss]

Thanks!! I agree that singlewide manufactured homes are a great option for downsizing. Bigger than tiny houses on wheels, but they do require a lot or land to put them, since moving one can be expensive. Keep us updated on your journey!! We’re excited for you all!!

[@paulaguerra4800]

You've done a great job with the mobile home. You are blessed.

[@OurJourneyToBliss]

Thank you!!

[@mightyduck311]

Wow your baby is adorable and I love the blue cabinets!

[@OurJourneyToBliss]

Thanks, Lloyd!

[@katriley8542]

Beautiful home, your absolutely blessed & rich with all that truly matters. Stuff is just stuff & just fades away.

[@OurJourneyToBliss]

Thank you, Kat! We agree!
