Dear Christine, this is one my favourite videos so far. So true, transparent and with such a beautiful message behind it. Our mindset is definitely a big part of the game... thank you for reminding us of that. I think it applies to every lifestyle. Thank you thank you, you beautiful soul 🌟

[@TheSabinewalkden]

You were so honest when you said that upon your return your were still living the city life. People always believe it is so idyllic and romantic living in a cabin but they do not realise that you spend most of winter bringing logs inside just to stay warm and for cooking with which is a challenge. It is difficult to make adjustments when we have been bought up with everything at our fingertips. Living in one room whilst the roof is undergoing repairs is a struggle at the best of times. Tempers get short and people argue etc. The weather will I hope soon bring spring to you and then the warmer summer months will follow and the roof will be fixed! Sending virtual hugs to you from the UK.

[@ChristineKjaer]

Oh Thank you so much Sophie! And yes, I want to be honest about, what I am feeling -I love when others also share there true self ❤️ And yes, I am looking so much forward to spring now 🙈 Thank you for watching, that means a lot ❤️ Much Love C

[@dieypslackiert]

The honesty shown in this video is very much appreciated. The chaotic situation around the house, the joys of having a warm shower ... i love the see more of these realistic things on this platform. Not just from people that chose simple living in the woods, but also from e.g. vanlife channels. Too often it's all glam and roses that is shown, but i'd love to see how couples cope with the limited space when it's raining for several weeks, how they manage their lifes in these super tiny spaces like using the toilet in front of the significant other or especially when it comes to menstruation etc - the vast majority just doesn't talk about it. Therefore i'd been very happy that you spoke so openly about your own challenge with this topic in Kalles video a while ago. Thank you Christine for bringing honesty to this platform in such a lovely way.

[@larrycarroll7371]

I also live in a cabin in the middle of the forest, but in the Colorado Rocky Mountains. I agree with you about simple living being a state of mind-especially when you have to stay connected to technology for work, and all of the work stressors come along with that. Your video was a good reminder for me to take some time to disconnect, so I appreciate that :)

Hi Miss Christina. (we) here in Montreal, live in 1 room as well. The bedroom is the other, and I make use of it as often as I can. I read, listen to podcasts, laying in bed, and napping during the day. Making 1 room work takes (work). I know. Get outside, breathe some air, when things get testy with Kalle. Don't loose your cookies. I see Nala has grown a lot in the past few months. You will figure out the rhythm. Be patent with yourself and Kalle. Hang in there. Greetings from Montreal.

[@ChristineKjaer]

Thank you so much for your comment and good advice. I will do my best ☺️❤️ Much Love C

[@percyjackson1566]

This was so enchanting and yet so real and truthful, that my eyes started watering. I just realised, deeply, truly and wholeheartedly, how much I want to live my life likewise as well. My heart is just longing for it. I can't wait until I am grown up and ready to pack my suitcase and leave the urban life in my city, and live there with my dearest people but yet with myself. Oh Christie, you don't know what an inspiration you are! Thank you so much!

[@zoemovelle78]

I’m always so happy when you upload a video, there’s just this sense of authenticity that makes me admire all the different aspects of your personality that I’ve seen so far. Someone commented that it feels as if they’ve been friends with you for a long time and that’s how it feels. Your videos are like catching up with a friend for coffee or wine and always make me feel grateful for what I have and the experiences yet to come. I love you and kalle together, you’re such a sweet and fun couple, and yet you both have individual traits that are so admirable. I just wish you and your little family the very best for the future

[@ChristineKjaer]

Oh wauw - Thank you so much Zoë for this sweet sweet comment! Oh you made me so happy, it warms my heart ☺️❤️ And thank you so much for watching, that means a lot. So much Love Christine

[@PatrickDiel]

Thank you for this video and sharing your thoughts. I love the authenticity all the way through. And it also shows so much that no matter our circumstances or surroundings; true happiness always comes from within. As you said: "simple living is a state of mind". There may be things and material objects that spark joy in us, but there's cearly a difference between lasting happiness and just pleasure. Of course, finding inner happiness can be a challenging path, but if we are precious with our time and who we spend it with, start being comfortable with ourselves in stillness (meditation can help), seek to live in alignment with our values, knowing our values, and live a healthy and balanced life, happiness might not be as abstract as it seems.

[@ChristineKjaer]

Thank you so much for this comment Patrick! And I am agree with you. Lots of love C

[@amaris3767]

I like how you said, the simple life is a state of mind. I live in the countryside, but it's not very remote. I have had to find simplicity inside myself, because there is a lot of rush and need to stay busy around me. Taking each day at a slower pace feels so much more natural and healthy.

[@ChristineKjaer]

Thank you so much! ❤️ And yes, remote or not, we all have to work on this. Much Love C

[@trudyschaffer8016]

I think it is so important to show ALL sides of this lifestyle. It is not all beautiful and easy. Just the basic needs can be such a challenge. Thank you for your honesty.

[@buffalohouse4740]

The quietness of living in a forest brings such relief from the busy world we live in. I lived on a sailboat for 25 years, so moving into a log cabin was such a change for me. Making changes in our lives can have it challenges, but the rewards are far beyond what I expected. Take Care Ernest

Well done Christine on your channel, it's a joy to watch. The thumbnail pictures are EPIC! So beautiful 😍 and thank you for your honesty. Real life can be different from what we portray, and it was good of you to share the struggles. I could totally relate when you said being a good girl means being busy all the time. I often feel like that and it can be exhausting - having a neat clean home, working, being married, and trying to enjoy our beautiful surroundings here on the west coast of Scotland - it can be overwhelming to try and fit everything in! So it's good to be reminded to take time out for yourself and rest 💗

[@ashley7260]

Your forest looks like paradise in the snow. Christine, I can understand your frustration. I really appreciate your sharing the highs and the lows with us. Your story feels more real this way. i hope you will be able to upgrade to running water in your sink and a shower this spring. Less time boiling water and worrying about hygiene will free up your time to enjoy your beautiful, scenic home.

[@medusaslair]

OMG, Nala has gotten so big! What a beauty she is! 💜 Your honesty is very refreshing and appreciated. Most people on KZbin and social media only show the "pretty" side of everything. I prefer reality, so thank you for sharing that. There is beauty in that which is real, even when it tells the story of hardship. 🙏

[@susannemartin2024]

thank you so much for this video. I can feel totally with you. This was the first complete winter for me in Sweden. Although we´re not living a simple life like you do, it´s much more simple than my life in Germany has been...with central heating and all the modern comfort. I felt so stressed in January...even though I had no real stress. And also my husband and me argued a lot, about nothing. But when I realized that it´s me and my German-living-mindset that stressed me, it got much better. I also was not used allowing me just to do nothing. But I´m learning it. It´s still a work in progress ;-) I´m patient with myself. A mindset that has been lived for 28 years cannot be changed in a few weeks. Be glad that you are already wiser than me at almost 49 years :-) I wish you all the best and I really enjoy your work. Big hug from Västernorrland

[@LageB12]

I saw that you will have a bathroom in future. That's great! My wife and I moved out to a cottage in a remote place also, but we are not really going for extrem simplicity. I have great respect for young people like you guys, leaving the city to a small cabin in the north, without running in-door water and so on. Respect! But, having running hot water in the house make such a HUGE difference in life quality. We also have sauna, past summer we built a very modern kitchen as well - wow! It is so fantastic to enjoy comfort inside house but when you open the door to outside, you step out to solitude and untouched nature with surroundings that one could feel been unchanged in, like, 1000 years. This contrast is so magic in my opinion.

[@ChristineKjaer]

Oh that is what I dream about one day, the contrast 💚☺️ I learning valuable lessons right now, but I do not want to continue like this - But from this, I will never take the hot water for granted again, that I am actually thankful for.

Very beautiful video! It is nice to hear your honest thoughts and I am happy that you have found a place to shower until the bathroom is built. Even when I am camping in my little camper, I have a little shower. I know people say you don't need to shower every day but I don't feel good if I don't have that one amenity. It is the one convenience, well and a place to keep warm and dry! I can deal with the rest I think. Such beauty with the snow in the trees and running with Nala.

I've been longing so much for a new video from you 😍❤️ You create amazing movies that become miracles. I hope more people discover your channel because you are worthy of all happiness and success 😍❤️ We are many who are very quick to judge and criticize ourselves because everything does not go as we intended. That we do not have the strength we want. That we do not perform as much as we "should" - according to ourselves. That's why it's super important that we keep reminding ourselves - and each other! - that we live in systems, in norms and structures, which are far much larger than ourselves. Stress and burnout are public health problems, not individual problems. It's not you, it's the system. We all have different paths to walk to be happy and find harmony, prosperity, satisfaction and meaningful life. My tip is to try to relax more and lower your expectations and demands on yourself. Exclude factors that make you feel unwell. ❤️❤️ Do not forget that we love you for who you are and that YOU are more than good enough! ❤️❤️Live with Passion !

Oh my goodness, what breathtakingly beautiful scenery you have captured of the magical Winter surroundings where you live! ❄ The snow covered trees look like something out of a fairy land, as it doesn't snow where I live. I have just discovered your channel Christine and I look forward to watching more of your videos. Karen from Australia 🇦🇺 🌞

[@ChristineKjaer]

Oh Thank you so much Karen ☺️❤️ And yes, it is like a fairytale land when it looks like that 😍 But Australia - I really hope I one day can experience Australia ☺️ So much Love C

[@karenhunter3750]

@@ChristineKjaer You would be very welcome in Australia Christine! 😊🌞🏖🌊🐬🐠🦋 ... the scenery is such a contrast to Sweden though, which is why I am really enjoying your beautiful nature filming/photography around where you live 🙂❄🌲 ... simply stunning to watch and really calming after some stressful days, too - so thank you so very much! 👍🤗❤ x

[@KristenMcNamara]

Ohhh Christine 🥰 Beautiful video, perfection!!!! I feel we are living parallel lives in a way. Even though it wasn’t the same I was stuck in CA away from Greg for 3 months. I wish I could send you a ton of our water here, the tropics are warm. We don’t actually live anywhere at the moment and it’s very stressful. I love that you’re filming in this beautiful snow, I wish I could be in it so badly! You look beautiful and peaceful. Sending you and Kalle love. Stay strong my friend!!!!

[@ChristineKjaer]

Hi sweet Kristen ❤️ Oh I am wondering how you are, hope everything is a bit easier. Yes that must be so stressful, are you guys together again? You should come and experience it some day ❄️🌲 I send you tons of Love and a Big hug ❤️❤️

[@KristenMcNamara]

@@ChristineKjaer Oh thank you!! I just mixed my cacao with chai green tea and it tastes amazing! You got me hooked on cacao hehe. We are together again, thankfully. I hope you’re doing ok!!! Would LOVE to come experience the snow ❄️ Maybe when this pandemic is over we all will actually get to meet someday! Really looking forward to seeing your spring time videos too. Sending you love from Key West, 💖

Dear and Beautiful Christine, I loved 💙 this video of you.... Your Honesty, your red cheeks (!) ad the end and the sound of your voice laughing (good for every soul! Oh, and the music 🎵 underneath this video really took me away to far away places (with lots of snow and Northern Sun) 😇 THank you!!

[@ChristineKjaer]

Oh you are so sweet ❤️❤️ I have a big smile on my lips right now, Thank you so so much! Big Hug C

[@magritmargit]

Wonderful video, I love your honest opinion about your lifestyle and that’s good that you realised that simple life is a bit different as living in the house with heating system and running water :) and of course it is the best decision to be happy about your life ... even it’s quite hard in the winter. Thank you for the video and hugs from Estland. We have also still snow in the garden ...waiting spring

[@ChristineKjaer]

Thank you so much Margit ☺️❤️ And yes, we are waiting for spring as well, that gonna feel so good this year 💚 Much Love C

[@Woodsyintroverts]

Hi Christine! Your videos are very soothing and enjoyable. You do such wonderful narration and have such a beautiful camera presence. The winter scenes are stunning. We live in deep snow country and it looks that way after a storm. Thanks for the awesome video. We have a small channel. Within the last year we began making videos about life in the Keweenaw. We have been inspired by Jonna, Isabelle Paige, Leena, Kalle and now you as well. Thank you for that.

[@ChristineKjaer]

Oh Thank you so much for your sweet words ☺️❤️❤️ That means a lot. More nature channels 😍 That sounds wonderful! So much Love C

[@childofnature-norway]

I can feel you, Christine ♥︎ The simple life can really be tough in winter, especially in the north where winter is so long. But I am sure you will manage all your challenges. And I want to say that you are really a great filmmaker!! Sending you love from Norway! Kiri ♥︎

[@ChristineKjaer]

Oh Thank you so so much 😭❤️❤️ What a compliment! That means a lot to me. Sending you so much Love C

I'm happy you're past those struggles and you enjoy the cabin life! And yes.. every life has it's own struggles but it's all good as long as they finish well. Shower scene Kalle made os funny... I love your sincere laughter :).

Thank you so much Krassi ❤️☺️ And yes, we all have our struggles, and we can learn from each other, if we are sharing it. Thank you so much for watching. Big Hug

What a beautiful video! I'm new to this channel, but I had to subscribe right away. I live near a city, but I watch videos of people living simple lives close to nature, and I dream about being able to do that someday. The idea that simple living is a state of mind is such a wonderful thing because it means that someone like me can embrace that mindset, even if I don't live in a beautiful forest.

[@ChristineKjaer]

Hi Bethany ☺️ Oh Thank you so much for subscribing and for your sweet comment ❤️ That means a lot. And exactly! It is up to us ❤️ Much Love C

[@thelivingsparkle]

So love your honesty. Although we used to live about 15 minutes apart. We are in the total south of Europe for two months. As we are moving towards a new integrated life together. Temporarily staying in a home with a living room, where we both do our work. There is no internet in the bedroom. We are evolving... And it is going better and sometimes it's very challenging. It's hard to have nog privacy. Yet it's lovely to be together. Such good advice to just stop and take time for ourselves. I think we women need that especially... to get back into our power. Feel like I at least have one person in this world who gets it. Love your video's and the beautiful winter wonderland. Lot's of love, Vi

[@ChristineKjaer]

Thank you so much for your sweet comment, and telling me your story as well - it sounds like, you know what I am talking about ☺️❤️ So nice to know, that you are not alone. Big hug C

Amazing first 10 seconds - Honesty all the way through. Be true to yourself, the only thing you should never stop chasing is your dreams. The rest should be done at a pace your comfortable with.

Hello Lovely! I am so excited that you've shared another video with us. You are experiencing a true culture shock for sure. Yes indeed Mother Nature is trying to remind you of what's really important. Slow down, enjoy the moments. Maybe during this winter times: only use one reusable cup/mug and plate each, then wash it. Don't set up the whole table. Don't worry about wearing the same clothes for a week. Just enjoy!

[@ChristineKjaer]

Thank you so much Melissa ☺️❤️ And yes, I have to let go of some "standards", to make it easier for my self. Thank you for watching, that means a lot. Big Hug C

[@jamesharwood9140]

Life in the city conditions you into thinking and acting in certain ways. Everything is handed to you on a plate, everything is taken for granted. We become accustomed to such an unnatural way of life, it is hectic, complicated, and above it makes life cheap....... disposable, forgettable!. Getting back to a simply life, a natural way of live, can only enrich our life in a way the city never can!. So making that transition from city to cabin is like a detoxifying process. The mind has to move in a different direction. You have to look at things in a different way. Priorities in the city are no longer priorities in the country......and ultimately you have to work with what you've got, rather that it just work for you!. Then and only then will living be no longer seen as cheap and disposable.......and no longer taken for granted!.

[@ChristineKjaer]

This is so true! And yes, I am detoxifying. Love C

[@renemartinez6283]

I love that they make this type of videos to inspire and transmit peace to people I started with Jonna Jinton without knowing that there were more similar channels I live in Mexico in the state of Oaxaca I hope very soon to convey to you about our culture and our lifestyle, it continues like this, friend

First I was only watching cottage fairy & hannahlee, then found Jonna, Isabel, Talasbuan &, then lately I subscribed to Leena, now it's you Christine. Wow, it's like I'm travelling in the world & feeling cold with all the snow just by watching your videos 😂 - Much Love from the tropical country,Philippines (where ice & snow is just a dream for someone like me who has not experienced it yet.) Wish I could go there someday. 🙏❤
