Our POD IS HERE (discussing the MOVE with the family) VLOG

[@danharkness7868]

I loved the Chicken/Squirrel. It made me laugh. Your family is so sweet. As the pressures of moving get higher and higher remember to be gracious to others as well as to yourself.

[@dontmesswitexas3421]

I hope you can see the way Payton looks at you, Jill. She has obvious love and adoration for you. She even mimics some of your mannerisms. And her love for her sisters. That's a real good girl there. ❤❤🥰

[@grandiesgarden175]

I've been with Jess and Miah since 14k. It's nice to meet you. Yes, please go easy on yourselves! Thank you for sharing

[@junematthews8612]

Payton, you are a seriously great big sister! Spending time with your little sisters is a gift to your family that only you can give!👋🇬🇧

[@ServeInLove]

Paityn looks at you guys so sweetly. Sweet discussion. :-)

[@BecomingaFarmGirl]

Jill-let’s talk about you and your glasses...totally a vibe! Thank you for sharing details about your move!!!

[@LILY-ty7nz]

I love that you said that you will be giving your family "a season of grace". That is a beautiful way to go into this new property. Peace & Blessings to your family

[@maryellenchristina6321]

Definitely give your self grace! My husband and I run a fiber mill and alpaca farm. The owners decided to take down the 200 yr old farmhouse- (mold and other issues) we’ve been living in out 28 ft camper since March 12… only a month ago did we get running water.we are in New England. I had to give myself grace and not think I could do all I normally do. Our new house is almost complete. I felt I should have started seedling and dug out new gardens. Well I’m glad I didn’t. Just unpacking and settling the house while working the mill and farm is all we can do. I’m now 62 and am just learning its ok. Watching another video of yours you were working at a high tunnel and we’re saying you were coming to terms it’s okay to say no and not feeling you have to be superwoman. It’s great you learned it at a young age!!

[@joytotheworld2100]

I'm excited for your family. I really love how Jess designed the kitchen.May the move go well & all your dreams come true.

[@karincartwright8752]

I've been following Jess and Miah for a few years now. I'm following you now so I can watch you take over Roots & Refuge! This will be fun! A lot of work for you, but fun for us!

[@donnasalvador3070]

I love your "farm to table" vision. It will be fun to watch it come to life.

[@TeshaS05]

I loved meeting Peyton (sorry if i mispelled it) today!!! But my most favorite moment was your unconcious and automatic gesture of fixing your hair and she looking up and fixing hers the same as yours, and your tiny smile when you realized this. Watching it happen made my heart soar.

[@mariannesouza8326]

Isn’t she a sweet, loving big sister?! 😀

[@maryjemison1101]

Jill, Nathan, your Daughters are Beautiful And will love ❤️ seeing them in Garden as future Master Gardeners 👍❤️

[@threewillowsfarm7779]

How have I never seen Peyton before? Just Charlie and June. She is beautiful! So glad you're going to get away for vacation. I hope you all have a wonderful time. Thank you for family interview. Much love to you all. Nice to meet you Peyton.

[@WhisperingWillowFarm]

Paityn is my stepdaughter and we share time with her mother. She is such a beautiful person and we love having her around. Now that school is out, you will see more of her

[@AnnaWagnerCarroll]

You answered one of my questions I just had while watching Jess’s garden tour - “How would I even take care of that much garden space??” Lots of grace. Also love your idea of an outdoor kitchen. Sounds lovely.

[@Thankful_.]

Same! 🙋🏽‍♀️💚🙏🏽😊

[@jenniferhenderson4674]

Hello Payton! Nice to meet you🌱🍅🍃🌻

[@stephaniecaracciolo8325]

You have such a sweet family I’m sure your transition to the roots and refuge farm will be easy, I can tell that your love for your future home is grand and I’m sure your family will continue to bring joy to this new journey and prosper! I enjoy your videos and I found you because of Jess she is such a joy and inspiration! You won’t fill her shoes there but that’s ok you will make it your own and add that Jill touch and we get to join her on her Journey as well and be inspired by what she creates in her new home. I bless you!

[@angelasevier6520]

My Auntie had Peacocks and gardens.. It all works out 🥰 Bless you

[@ruthgrass9433]

Love the outside kitchen idea!! Bless you all!!

[@charliehoos9773]

We lived second hand for 21 years to stay debt free. We moved an hour to this home for many reasons, but live in the moment. Lists and being organized really is necessary to reach goals. You’re doing great! Thank you for taking us along for the adventures

[@dorriwaldera3081]

Your daughter Peyton is beautiful, like your other daughters. I don't think I have seen her in any videos before. Good luck with the move, I can't wait to see the journey!

[@WhisperingWillowFarm]

Thank you, Paityn is my stepdaughter but I would claim her in a heartbeat. She is the sweetest 11 year old I've ever met

[@ourtrailmixoflife2085]

From vegetable garden to cut flower, a few cottages you have a farm to table airbnb

[@makerofstuff]

Nothing that slip covers can't fix! I use heavy canvas drop cloths from lowes. Run them through a big machine at the laundromat to shrink and take the heavy treatment out.

[@takishasallbeautyzone]

I love that your giving yourselves grace. It's VERY important. I know it's hard because you have an audience watching, but moving is challenging. It's only right to take your time 🧡.

[@courtneyarnold4276]

I love watching all this unfold!! Can't wait to see it all come to be!

[@cathykillion5958]

Enjoyed the video and hearing from the girls

[@rwjingo4955]

If you have a riding mower, get a cart to pull behind it for feeding, and the utv can some when you're more settled

[@eleanorareeves2xworldchampion]

We used pods and loved it. So much easier. God bless y'all and may He keep y'all in His loving embrace at this time and always

[@tinalee7650]

Great video - and Jill - Paityn looks like she could be your daughter! So wonderful to see her/meet her today!

[@susieyarbrough9845]

Watching Jess’s garden tour and seeing the carpet of Thyme. Jill, if you wanted to sell seeds or starts from your NEW garden, I’d venture to say you’d have more orders than you could handle!! Just a thought!!

[@CrystalGuinn]

We bought our side by side from Tractor Supply Black Friday several years ago and it’s been awesome.

[@sandrainontario6710]

Jill, you look so pretty with glasses! How old is Peyton? I'd love to hear more from her. What a pretty girl and so fond of Charlie. It's so cute that she wants them to have adventures together. And wow, she will have Malia's room! I bet she's excited about having that much space and privacy for herself.

[@WhisperingWillowFarm]

Paityn is really excited! She is my stepdaughter and we share time with her mother so she doesn't make many vlogs. Now that she's out of school, you will see more of her

[@cheriwhitley8385]

JILL..make sure u label the boxes or totes u have in large print and do it on all sides.because when men stack stuff they usually don’t pay attention to the writing and u will regret it when looking for something while in the pod..(like kitchen stuff u would need or kids stuff hehe)..my husband was in Germany and I was waiting on housing b4 me and the kids went over.he had to go over so fast so it was left up to me to move all our house into storage because I was moving out of our home we had sold.my sister-in-law and myself were the only 2 that moved furniture,refrig stoves,and all the furniture and boxes ect into a big haul and stack it so we didn’t make 50 trips..then stack it all in a storage unit.I was amazed at what we got accomplished and we were soo proud when done.how we did that I’ll never know.Lolol….take your time with settling in and don’t feel like u have to do everything at once.u will overwhelm yourself..wish I was close,I’d help u..god bless!!❤️

[@augustagootee6254]

Oh love the outdoor kitchen idea love love it!!!

[@candacethompson2521]

Such excitement for ya'lls move. You all will love the space. We have 2 side by sides. One is a kubota, one is a hauvarna. I recommend getting a 4 x 4 . More money up front but if y'all have any snow or are going mudding it will be money well spent. Watch for property and household auctions. Blessings

[@gobigandgohomeschool4882]

Enjoy the process!

[@bravegirlarise7672]

Found you because of Jess and so happy for y'all. Excited to watch the transition on both your channels as your families start new adventures. ✌️😍

[@allenfarm]

Yes I was going to say make sure beds are the first thing out of the pod so the first day you can set up beds and go to sleep if you are tired

[@trybjkt]

That would be my advise. Unload the beds. Put them up. Then put sheets on them. When you're exhausted you don't want to find out, the beds are not made.

[@MsdebinBC]

Put the beds in the truck with bedding and stuff you'll need first night coffee pot mugs and clothing

[@erikas974]

I am so happy for all of you and looking forward to see blossoming in your new home. Love the outside kitchen idea. I would put a shade cloth cover over it so no sunburn. Maybe if Jess has some duck egg you can hatch it. 🦆🦆🦆🦆🐥🐥🐥🐥

[@rainlyte2003]

Golf Cart! least expensive route for now. Bob bought me one then put a dump on the back which will allow room for 4 (?) 5-gal buckets. Love it! What you vocalize out to the world will come back to you... Shout your dreams to the world! Be safe. Be prepared. Be Blessed!

[@diannemiller4754]

Walking into the house the first time after vacation and Jess and Miah are gone.. sounds kinda scary or maybe sad...but oh so wonderful too coz it's now yours. Congratulations, soon very soon.

[@katiemclain2946]

I've never seen Peyton before. She was so sweet, smiling while she was listening to both of you talk. Looking forward to seeing this journey at the new homestead.

[@WhisperingWillowFarm]

Paityn is precious and such a good big sister. She is really excited about our new place

[@bethanyfields4706]

I know you're SO excited!!! ♥️ ♥️ ♥️

[@creinicke1000]

I really don't know much about side by sides... But what about a used golf cart to haul the buckets..

[@monamorgan8614]

This is exciting, I might suggest going on line for suggestions on loading a Pod, it helps seeing an example. I look forward to seeing your take on Roots and Refuge property😁

[@sidepasser]

You are going to have so much food to harvest, lol, it will be fine to give yourselves a grace period! Very excited for you all!

[@ardenpeters4386]

ha 4 yes..... we've been here 30 yrs and NO time to sort OR purge. its box it, tape get it get it to storage. on market Thursday 24th! still moving stuff out freaking out

[@ACryin_Shame]

Appliances- camp for a couple weeks. My uncle's have worked and for steven vanlines for more than my entire life. They mostly help truckers with routes now because they are getting to 60yo. Put the heaviest stuff in there.

[@helendwisetiawan]

Amen for farm to table dreams.. that is my dream as well as a chef ...

[@brylynt53]

After over 40 years we moved from NE to AZ. I was amazed at how much the off-duty fire fighters were able to pack into a 16’ POD. We used a blowup mattress and a card table so we could have the beds & mattresses loaded into the POD. The fire fighters did an excellent job of packing. Two large curio cabinets made the trip without damage.

[@alexishodgson7624]

I love that idea for the mural. What do you think of lacquering the painting, so it lasts longer!?

[@WhisperingWillowFarm]

We will definitely do that

[@augustagootee6254]

Put anything u dnt rain on in the pod and use the trailer for stuff get rained on.

[@nicolesjostrom2348]

I love your family. We are a military family stationed at JBLM up in Washington state and my 2 littles love growing veggies and herbs in our backyard. It's all in pots because we move a lot. We started 2 years ago just with a couple of tomato and pepper plants. Now we have 6 peppers, 5 tomatoes and 8 different herbs growing right now. And over the winter I tried growing garlic and onions and it actually turned out. Wasn't perfect but we did get some of each. I just love that my kids love gardening. My daughter eats the cherry tomatoes from the vine. I'm excited to try a fall garden this year too. And once we get to our next duty station that we will be at for a couple of years, I want to go bigger and try even more veggies.

[@WhisperingWillowFarm]

Proud of you for sticking with it

[@alimajoy1]

Peacocks are VERY noisy!! Be prepared!! We have 14 peafowl. Hopefully some babies will be hatching soon!

[@vmr1027]

I did the Dave Ramsey budget also to get out of debt! Enjoy your vacation, y’all deserve it!

[@shervin6711]

Yes, what you do in your season, do it well. This season is one of transition...so "Transition well" transition is so important. Get to know your new home, it will show you the way. When we moved into our Victorian, no one knew there were stone patios and pathways on our hill. But one day I uncovered some. 20 years later...they are all uncovered after 200 years.. and lots of effort. Embrace life where you are planted ❤️

[@KyleMerl]

we used a pod to move from PA to TX and for the most part it went well. We did lose our dining room table because we didn't pack it correctly though. We should have put it in upside down and on top of some padding. We packed it standing upright with some stuff on top of it. Don't do what we did.

[@amandar7719]

Always a good idea to have a professional packer to advise you. Hoping some of your followers have that experience and have already advised you. Excellent idea to declutter.

[@mariannesouza8326]

Rattan?!!!! OMG! I love it? Never part with any pieces. I still think about the sofa my husband begged me to get rid of - 18 years ago 😳

[@anonymityforced4923]

The Pod is such a great idea! How far apart are your properties?

[@mariezafonte6473]

Excited to see you transform the farm into your own, while keeping what is special.

[@journeyoflovelight]

Watch out for the weight of the POD. A friend had to repack 3 times because of weight. Thanks for the update.. Have a good day. 🦋

[@cindihuculak1964]

I love rattan furniture too! I’ve lived in my house for 23 years and desperately need to purge. So I feel ya!

[@annawylie2503]

Girl! Me too with the rattan!!!

[@brendagervais5566]

One day at a time sweet lady. It will all take time and doesn’t have to be done yesterday. Enjoy the gifting and favour of our FATHER

[@dereidabrown1180]

Oh wow! We listen to Dave Ramsey too. He always has the best advice on how to get out of debt. Great seeing your daughters! Totally enjoy the moving process, and have a great vacation!!

[@minnesotagal507]

We downsized big time before we moved 2 weeks ago, made it so much easier.

[@mellissabgarden1549]

Hi Jill, Nathan, Payton, and charlee 👋👋👋👋

[@lyra2112]

I love your glasses!

[@mio.giardino]

I think having a buffer in the timing might be a very good thing because if something comes up and they are delayed then they have that time to fix it before you get there.

[@roberttucek8594]

Happy and excited for y’all. Looking forward to follow your journey.

[@WhisperingWillowFarm]

Thank you

[@kayrabey1344]

I think it’s a great idea to sell or get rid of things you want to replace. I do buy secondhand things and I think it makes a home feel homey and not just buy a set of anything! I’m sure your new place will reflect your family so it will be lovely.

[@karionhawkins3091]

I am very happy that your family is moving to a new place that is already filled with love!

[@carolnoe9037]

I'm excited for you guys it's a beautiful place.

[@Thankful_.]

I love shopping at thrift stores, garage sales and auctions. Like w all things God’s timing is perfect! 💚 New subscriber after watching Jess’ interview w you. I’m so excited for you both!

[@kellyscroggins7250]

I would be excited for that beautiful kitchen!!

[@augustagootee6254]

Ur going need an bentern

[@amandar7719]

It’s exciting preparing very young children for a move. Especially when they’re extremely aware of where their new home is going to be and that both parents are transitioning with them.

[@amandar7719]

Having a 2 week vacation for your children with you both is an excellent idea. Hoping you all manage to completely switch off and have the most well deserved and happily memorable holiday ever.

[@leahness3588]

Have a fun and safe vacation, sounds like the perfect start to a moving trip.👍❤🙏🥳

[@augustagootee6254]

Am.so pumped for u all

[@BlackDogDesigns]

I’m so excited for you all and I can’t believe how quick this move is happening all around! Have a great day👩🏼‍🌾

[@MsdebinBC]

Enjoy your dream and have a wonderful time on holiday😉😍👍🙏

[@cindylong8056]

Hey you guys❣ so glad things are moving along pretty good.I've been praying for all of you. It's gonna be great. You guys stay well.

[@kayrabey1344]

Outdoor kitchen sounds good for summer even. If you can food it will keep the heat out of kitchen.

[@juliekdavis73]

This is all very exciting. Hope all goes smoothly. Your glasses look great on you.

[@WhisperingWillowFarm]

Thank you, I love them ❤

[@marigoldmeadowsfarm7495]

Girl...it’s time to push you guys over 40k !!!!

[@WhisperingWillowFarm]

Sooo close

[@ozarkmountainwoodshopandfa9500]

How exciting! Where are yall going to for vacation?

[@WhisperingWillowFarm]

The kiddos chose the beach. We are heading to Florida

[@overwhelmedmama244]

It’s so nice to see Jess’ and Miah’s home be bought by y’all but who is buying y’all’s?

[@vickieginn7503]

I am truly so happy happy for you guys!! Y’all have good times awaiting! 😜

[@Icefireski]

I liked the peacock idea! My guy’s parents actually used to breed and sale oriental pheasants. They did have peacocks for a while before we started dating.

[@Nixonfamilyfarm]

We used pods and loved it! We needed 2 but we were able to stack to the very top and didn’t have anything damaged

[@chayh.6249]

You will never be sorry for making an outdoor kitchen. Living in Florida, I am able to be outside most everyday of the year. Shortly after moving here, it was obvious that I was having a problem forcing myself inside to prepare lunch and dinner (😇) so my hubbers built me a beautiful outdoor kitchen which we later added a pizza oven to. Now it is seldom that I cook indoors - from morning coffee to supper! We not only grill but have my Instant Pot, Nuwave countertop, Nuwave oven, air fryer etc. outside. And it didn’t cost a lot either. Lots of the cabinets, the sink, the on demand hot water heater, etc all came from Craigslist! Just a thought so that you would know that you may get your dream fulfilled sooner than you’d think! Interview with the girls was adorable. They are just beautiful children - inside as well as outside!! Sending Blessings to you and yours!!

[@WhisperingWillowFarm]

Your outdoor kitchen sounds amazing

[@chayh.6249]

And I get to keep gardening while I cook!👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[@nancygould6789]

Would like to know what else Payton would like besides the land. Does she like gardening or animals?

[@WhisperingWillowFarm]

Paityn is the biggest helper. She loves to harvest and eats most of the cherry tomatoes before they reach the house. She is also a big help when it comes to the animals

[@eddakraynak5951]

We just moved this past January. It’s A LOT of work. Wish I lived near enough to help you. 😊

[@hearnefamilyhomestead2301]

So exciting! One day at a time!

[@BlueFarmPNW]

Is Jess going to gift you her notebooks on the garden and where she plants things seasonally? I wasn't sure if that was something you all have thought about. It might help you with planting in the garden in the future.

[@NanaTrece9444]

I strongly suggest that you take the mattresses yourself so that you have something to sleep on until the pod arrives. As with all plans it will not go as scheduled so don't expect the pod to show up when planned.

[@4beefarm265]

So excited for y’all! 💚🌱

[@WhisperingWillowFarm]

Thank you ❤

[@sageparis6771]

Im so excited to see you all in your new farm so soon!
