I hope this video gave you rest. I give you permission to rest. It is good for you.

[@Nea_B]

It sure did! Such a soothing energy in this one💕Beautiful💕

[@julesharve]

Ps I love how you don’t fill it with music but gentle sounds and your children voices 💕

[@emilymcclain591]

What a wonderful representation of what we can have when we choose to embrace the everyday. As you have shown before I think it’s hard to do the every day things with intention because we are all told that our lives are wasting away unless we are striving towards it so hard. My son is six and my daughter is 4. I look at them and realize how fast time goes and I wouldn’t want to change that seeking something else. They are the prize. They are my family. They are worth slowing down for. ❤️

[@MadisunGray]

Yes! So true Emily!

Really enjoyed this. I get so fed up of people telling me I need to do this and that. Go this place. Do this thing. No I need to just have time to do what’s important to my family. My daughter’s disabled and what people don’t realise is that travelling and new things are very stressful to both her and me. So we don’t do them often. I don’t want an instapot or air fryer to ‘change my life’. I’m happy as I am. People mean well but I like simple and uncomplicated.😊 it seems to make people uncomfortable that I’m content with what I have. I don’t always need more.

[@rachelsmith2110]

Absolutely beautiful videography! ❤️ I could just keep this on repeat while I work around the house. It’s so soothing and calming. Also, your little fam is so adorable.

[@MadisunGray]

Thank you Rachel!

[@karibroy9336]

This is my favorite video. The beach scene is amazing, peaceful and a glance at how beautiful life is.

[@jenniferc7005]

I enjoy your videos so much! There is so much beauty God has given us to enjoy and each place has a unique beauty if you take the time to enjoy it.

[@MadisunGray]

Yes! Thanks for watching Jennifer ❤️

[@gratefultess]

The hummingbird 😍

[@theresetaylor7207]

Absolutely loved spending your day with you! Living here in the countryside in England our life is slow too. When I look outside my window and see the horses and sheep In the fields I feel instantly calm,on our walks the butterflies dance around us and if we are lucky we also see deer. I loved watching your son in the sink and your husband's hammock is wonderful , we eat fresh vegetables and the flavour is amazing. We have the most beautiful beach not far from us with fossils to be found if you are lucky! Watching you wild swimming was amazing. We are very lucky that we also have a house in Spain where life is so laid back, lemon trees and the most beautiful palms away outside our window. Thankyou so much for your calming videos of you and your family's life, I look forward to all of themxxx

[@MadisunGray]

Wow that sounds amazing. Thanks for watching

[@mydogsmom9206]

This is so beautiful - thank you for some much needed rest and the reminder to savor all we are blessed with.

[@annabeltucker3068]

What an incredible video. As a mum of three young kids, I thank you so much for showing me what can be with a bit of perspective. You should be really proud of yourself for your ability to spread calm and gratitude and joy - I’m in Australia so your message is far reaching!

[@MadisunGray]

Thank you so much Annabel!

[@SimplyKatieJane]

Madisun, I really really appreciate you taking the time to put together your you tube videos! I've really been struggling in life, in my marriage of 21 years and having to work 40hours a week. I feel so worn out and numb right now. Your videos bring me so much peace and calmness. The Word of God you share brings me Hope. I love this video and your homemaking and mothering clips and cleaning videos, just all your material💕. You have brought me so much rest and encouragement. Thank you, sister in Christ!🙂❤

[@carolgeorge6409]

@Simplyfy. Said so beautifully♥️🙏

Your daughter folds laundry better than I do. What a joy I get from your channel. Thank you for sharing your life.

Thanks for being here ❤️

What a beautiful life! You are giving your kids such a wonderful childhood. :)

[@chellg1350]

The folding of the towels made me smile when I was a little girl. I love doing that too.❤

[@stephaniemaurer6037]

I feel so calm and at peace every time i log in and watch a video you have done! Just wanted to say thank you for that. Please know you are making such a difference for so many!

[@MadisunGray]

So sweet. Thank you Stephanie! ❤️

[@TitusTwoWife]

I don't have the words to really describe how this video moved me but I'll try. The editing and content itself was gorgeous and gave me a sense of longing towards the beautiful simple things of life. Ive been on a journey to slow down and define success differently and videos like this do their part to confirm what God is trying to do in my life. I appreciate this. Take care.

[@MadisunGray]

Wow this is so sweet. Thank you for watching. This is exactly why I feel called to make these videos ❤️

[@crystaldawnleslie1553]

This one had me in my feels maddy❤ these videos are extremely helpful to help break us from the everyday stress and grind. I recently quit my corporate job and am working on simplifying. These videos give me so much hope. Thank you 🙏

[@samanthabranson6815]

Beautiful Perspective and I’m thankful for the direction back to the simple and beautiful things in life. My favorite part was “let’s not waste the blessing of today” thank you. Thank you for also the backdrop of- God, I appreciate it.

[@casageorgia]

I loved everything about this day. Thanks for sharing! Now I’ll share something with you that I hope you will enjoy. There’s a KZbinr named Jonna Jinton from Sweden who makes beautiful videos of her life in a little village that has about 11 people who live there. Your videos touch my heart the way Jonna’s videos do with how you both are connected with nature and focused in on what’s really important. God Bless you and your beautiful family.

[@rosieharper-pittam4551]

I watch her too!! These are my two fave KZbin rn! A life so far from my own these days but feels so close to my heart. Take what I can from a slower more nature connected ethos and bring into my busy work days. Love connecting with other kindred spirits here, much love from Melbourne 🙏🥰

[@casageorgia]

@@rosieharper-pittam4551 I am retired, but have still cluttered my life with needless clutter and my mind with needless distractions from this crazy world. We are getting ready for a long vacation, and I am looking forward to tuning out the noise and taking long, quiet walks on the beach and reconnecting with the glorious world God created. My goal is to reset my priorities and come home with a whole new focus on what’s really important and let the other stuff go once and for all. Madisun and Jonna show that it is possible to do if it becomes a main priority. They are such gifts to us.

[@ChristysChannelYall]

Jonna is one of my favorite You Tuber’s too! Her videos are so peaceful.

[@francescapoteet5481]

Oh yes! I love Jonna and her life; she is surrounded by and IS beauty. But so so cold and don’t know if I could get used to dark skies for months.

[@MadisunGray]

I’ll have to check them out. Thanks for watching ❤️

Hey Madisun!! I am a fairly new follower and I am loving all your videos, I have been binge watching lol! You are such an inspiration in the minimalist and slow living world!

So fun to see alot in common! Anyway just wanted to say I love all your vids, thank you for inspiring me and can't wait to see more!

[@MadisunGray]

Wow, that’s awesome. So glad you are here. Thanks for watching ❤️

I'm glad I stopped to watch this again. So Beautiful! Thank you for Psalm 46:10 ❤ "Be still and know that I am God" ...and he is a good God.

[@ashleyirizarry-diaz6415]

Beautiful footage of your home! Thank you for all the great reminders to be still and live in the moment, grateful of all the Lord has provided and blessed us with on a daily basis. He is so good there is so much to be thankful for if we just slow down

[@MadisunGray]

Yes. So true! ❤️

[@lanissaspoon116]

This was the most amazing video ever. Thank you for the raw, normal scenes with no music and just life. This video brought me so much peace! So glad I found your channel!

love watching your videos they help me relax and i find peace watching you. Im a stay at home mom with no family close by to help out. I had to stop working to care for my daughter and now only depend on my husband, but hes of no help he works so thinks its ok to get home from work and just chill on the couch and phone and drinking. I do everything for our daughter home for him. Please never stop posting ❤ Your family is so cute and beautiful.

As a medical student, I definitely needed this. Seeing your life with your kids is so amazing to me… and even once i’ve graduated, I hope to have something similar! Thanks for the video

[@MadisunGray]

Thanks for watching ❤️

[@laurenrichards1415]

I got chills watching your video. Be still and know that I'm God. I needed to hear that today. God bless.

I’m so glad it resonated with you ❤️

[@kathymorgan1489]

Such a beautiful video. Took me back to when l was a stay at home mummy, with my 3 small sons. Happiest days of my life. It all went so fast!

[@HerCupOfSIMPLE]

Let us not waste the blessing of today! Wow Madi!! Every bit of this video was so special... their little hands helping you with your chores, their curiosity and cuteness while they wish happy birthday to the crickets!! How inspiring and beautiful!💝🤗

[@MadisunGray]

Thank you so much ❤️

[@LASM60]

I came across your channel today, looking for help with decluttering my closet. What I found was so much more. I was frazzled and down. Thank you for lifting me up with your beautiful and calming life. You are a blessing.❤

[@MadisunGray]

This is so sweet Lori. Thank you xo 😘

[@candiceg9338]

What a beautiful video. Thank you for sharing your gift. Love all the scripture references. Love how much effort and time you put into living a slow and minimal life especially with 2 young children. I truly believe it is the only way to live and the only way to peace. Other then our creator. God bless ✌🏼

[@MadisunGray]

Thank you Candice ❤️

[@candiceg9338]

[@bethanyplatt7122]

I've been watching your videos and really want to declutter more. As I've started I have noticed that I've been able to spend more time with my family because I have less stuff to keep track of, it's amazing! Although I am having a hard time as well because my daughter is medically fragile. Our days are filled with therapies and appointments, and our home is filled with medical equipment and supplies which I can't get rid of. Trying to find a balance here because I know she would also benefit from slowing down. Love your videos, thank you for sharing your wisdom!! ❤️

[@MadisunGray]

Thanks for watching Bethany ❤️
