[@melbert22]

I always enjoy your videos. But, I also want you to know that I acknowledge the tremendous effort it takes to produce them. The moving the camera, the reviewing the footage, the editing, and all the other technical details that go on behind the scenes. Not to mention dreaming up the content. You tell a great story, and the extra efforts are so appreciated. People all over the world are enjoying your work!

[@suemcknight9051]

@melbert22… that is such a thoughtful and truly true & all around great comment 👌…. (& I so agree 😉)

[@anneliesjoss]

Yep, my favorite KZbin channel and family 🥰

[@kleineroteHex]

Well said!

[@jackiwannapaint]

yes all the work we dont see. I have a painting channel and it takes longer to edit the video than to paint the paintings

[@WendyPerrins]

Well said. We also enjoy watching the hard work you do to produce these videos.

[@carolpiirto5613]

Know that 99.9% of people are supportive, thankful, loving of you all and your channel.

Thank you :)

Your son is going to be able to watch these videos and show them to his children and grandchildren. You both will have left behind a rich legacy for future families.

[@theresanoble1695]

These videos will be amazing in years to come for Ivar! I wish I had those when my kids were young. What a treasure. It’s always a delight to see you have posted a new one. I have to say it’s all very entertaining, however, I think Ivar is the star of the show. He is so adorable and it’s been amazing watching him grow and become such a sweet boy.❤ Thank you I know it’s not easy creating and developing these but the world is watching!😊

[@theresanoble1695]

Oh it’s an umbrella ( keeps the sun and rain off)

[@soloprojects7912]

@@theresanoble1695 Ivar is such a cutie pie! He is really going to be a big helper one day as he is already doing his best to keep up!

[@bridgetmarden3345]

Agreed but I pray no one is going anywhere any time soon!!!!

[@bridgetmarden3345]

Love ya5and your videos so very much! Thank you for taking us on your journey ❤

[@karismith2550]

That precious little boy has his mama's smile. I remember when he was a baby! Thank you for your videos.

[@wrinklesandsprinkles]

Awww, Ivar has changed from a toddler to a little boy so fast!! It seems like yesterday he was brand new, pink & adorable. He’s still so adorable and smart! Cheers to the three of you!🫶🏻

[@kathrynmoll86]

No matter what time of year, there's something lovely about an outdoor kitchen with a good wood fire burning; especially if there's something cookin'!😋just imagine it ... a wonderful way to live a good life! 🌞🦋❤

[@1029tbarton]

My mother was half Swedish and half Norwegian. She made a thick fruit soup that she called Stewed Fruit. It was apricots, prunes, raisins and water. She cooked it on low heat until all the fruit was tender. We wouldn't eat it the first day. When it was refrigerated overnight, the sauce was thicker. I haven't had any in a looooong time. I must make some.

[@tishparker4119]

Fruit moos! My Gramma made what we called Burris’s and we dipped bread n butter in the silky broth. Memories

[@thesethingsmementos]

That's amazing! ❤

[@tainahollo8567]

Are you sure she did not add some potato flour, too? That is what we use to do.

[@1029tbarton]

@@tainahollo8567 nothing but water. When it sat overnight in the fridge, it would thicken.

[@tishparker4119]

Not that I recall.

[@playcolumbus2413]

I'm 7weeks pregnant and so sick...an hour and ten minute video from my favorite people!! 🎉 Thank you!! 😊 You guys are the best!!

[@Talasbuan]

Congratulations! Hope you'll get better so you can enjoy your pregnancy.

[@roonilwazlib3089]

Congratulations, get yourself some good quality ginger biscuits to nibble on ❤

[@WendyPerrins]

I know how you feel because I was sick for the whole of both my pregnancies. My advise is to always have something with you to snack on. I was still working with my first pregnancy and I kept a bag of crackers and raw vegetables with me all the time. It’s not fun but we all seem to live through it even though some days are worse the others. I know with my second son I was being sick into a bowl while preparing food for my toddler. They are both worth it so hang in there. Let’s hope it goes away after a few weeks.

[@christeljonsson4845]

By The week 12 it offens stop.Hope it does for u

[@neagumarian3656]

God bless you with health and a healthy baby!

[@tinash4216]

You are strong people💙💛 I wish you a lot of strength and sun for this hard life, but you have something valuable for it, and that is freedom.

[@earthangel8730]

True freedom only comes from hard work.

[@martinmbugua1500]

This is what your saying it's a hard life??????? In Africa it's a dream for everyone especially average people

[@maiamitt]

Thank you for letting us be a part of your day. By the way, the English word for parasol is “umbrella.” ☂️

[@JasonPramas]

I like Mathias’ neologism “sun cover” 😀

[@maiamitt]

That works! 😉

[@oreganoharvey1091]

Actually, parasols are utilised as protection from sunlight, and umbrellas are utilised as protection from rain.

[@anitaklamer3360]

[@johnrltr]

The English usually just say "brolly". Don't know about Scotland or Ireland.

[@donnaf5114]

My husband and I loved this video. We are farmers too with grown children. It was good to see we are not alone in this farm life. Remember to take one task at a time and not be discouraged if you can’t accomplish everything you want to do in a day. 😊

[@allief2614]

Your videos bring me so much joy. We are a family of 3 also with a 2 year old boy. I started watching your videos while I was pregnant. We live in northern Minnesota and we have a very similar looking landscape and climate. We are on a mission to adopt a lifestyle similar to yours. I just wanted to let you know that your videos are making an impact all over the world, and I much appreciate the glimpse into your day to day life. Many blessings to you all.

[@cristelelizabethjohn1661]

what a sensible and appreciative comment. Good to hear that people are learning from these brilliant videos on how to live a worthwhile and creative, low impact on the environment life.. 😘

[@Ana-do8yq]

My favorite thing is when Mathias looks at the camera like it is a real person, freezes in a thought and a smile for a couple of seconds, having a shared moment with an audience. That’s so very sweet ☺️

[@church8042]

Hi Tova, Mathias and Ivar! I can never find the words to describe your lovely family. I would have loved to have put down a barstool and chatted with you as you made breakfast. I loved the long video and TY for sharing your life once again. It is so special when you sit down and chat with us. It was so sweet when Tova put her head on your shoulder. The love you have is grand and beautiful. TY for all of your hard work...in everything that you do. God bless and love in Christ to you all. ~John

[@moniquevelasco20]

I want toadd that it was so to see everyone smiling so much. This is your best video along with your wedding and the birth of Ivar❤

[@livinginabirdhouse]

Again, such great peace and tranquility. You go through great length producting your content. We have been following you from day one. You are still such an inspiration to us. We have made the decision to cut the chains, give up our jobs, and we now live in our camper, looking for a piece of land to homestead. You have inspired us to make quiet content too. We wish you nothing but love!

Thank you so much, Mathias, for another long video! Love it sooo much👍🙋‍♀️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Sitting here, watching the end of your episode. Remembering back to your very first video. And all the computer and internet problems that you were having. It's just amazing how far you have come. Drones, cameras, editing skills, laptops, sooo happy my KZbin 🌟 stars

[@merlynguillermo3920]

You have a very relaxed life. No smog no distractions from worldly activities. You’re a good lovely couple.

[@cherylcarlson3315]

Was yelling "Mattias is right,JUICE". You are both so much more confident in English, congratulations. I am still hopeless in Swedish, my brain scrambles it into German but am so old doesn't matter. Was suprised no cheesemaking or wool/hide processing, water hauling but also know I couldn't document what I do in a day and do it at the same time. May things come together well.

[@ionawoodart]

Maybe Tove meant lemonade? Fruit juice (concentrate) mixed with water ... ?

[@ruthfraser7907]

Hi. It’s raining here in the UK. I have just spent a lovely relaxing time watching this video. I know what a lot of work has gone into the making of this. It’s great to watch your day - so thank you for sharing this. What a lovely family you are xx

[@AmandaDan-ry6jq]

Hello! How are you doing today.

[@corrievanhalm9154]

Thank you for yet another wonderful video. Yours are, for me, by far the most beautiful, inspiring and interesting ones that I have come across. I have followed you for years now. You have showed us glimpses of your development as farmers, parents, a couple and as a man and a woman whom have taken it upon themselves to deeply respectfully live and work with the comings and goings of the natural cycles. This video, showing an ordinary day in some detail, also showed how an ordinary day turned out to be not so ordinary with minor and bigger frustrations which you work with in what seems an almost organic way, going with what is and moving onto the next task. No doubt you also swear sometimes? In any case, I admire the way both of you work with all that is alive around you. I agree with others comment about your filming skills. What a joy this is for us viewers. It is extraordinary how a day that started in an ordinary way can become quite fragmented. You make the most of it nevertheless. I hope that Tova's brother watches this video and sees that the trip to the auction was quite a chunk out of your day. The things we do for our siblings. As they say; it is all in a days work. The word you were looking for Tova is, I think, cordial or syrup. You also seem to describe something that is called Gooseberry fool, in the UK, where I lived for many years. These are probably all variations on the theme of Gooseberries and delicious. Last but not least, your little boy. What treasure he is. Many thanks and go well.

[@colinsneller6274]

I know the fruit dessert you want to make, here in Hamburg, Germany. Here it's called Grütze - rote Grütze with red fruits and grüne Grütze with green fruits - and it's eaten with unwhipped cream just poured over it. There is no english word for it because it doesn't exist in England. I found it very sincere and touching to show how tired you get with this life you lead. Thanks for that❤

[@mettemiriam148]

...in norwegian it's the same: rød-grøt with cream/milk on top..❤

[@Meluforever]

It seem's the translation in english is porridge, red or green porridge :) In french it is a "compotée" . It is like a compote, but less cooked, because most of the fruit (or the vegetables) must remain whole.

[@agnesskibicka]

[@Truelyblue333]

Unbelievable this youngsters table manners and overall behavior. His ability to feed himself and not play in his food with little to no distraction at the table is amazing. No “meltdowns” labeled as “expressing himself” throughout the day without hitting his parents. Something we rarely see in the US! Great parenting. Be proud of the young man you’re raising. What a beautiful thing to see.

[@jayneeburks8482]

I hope we can have a garden tour sometime before fall. Also, after 30 years on a farm I can say nearly every day is hard. I would not give up one day of it though. I loved that life.

Sweet to see monkeyboy and his parents doing so well! We call a "parasol" an "umbrella" in the U.S., and also the motor attached to the tractor that you were using to pull the logs from the forest we call a "winch". I hope it's not offensive to share new English words with you. Thank you for another wonderful video.

[@sandybear61]

Ivar has made the jump from toddler to little boy. I have loved watching him grow and mature! (P.S.

Funny, in Flemish we also call them stikkel berries (stekel bessen)

[@RuralSpanishRetirement]

I really enjoy your videos and your lifestyle is what my husband and I always wanted to do.. well when we finally got around to making it happen we have realised that we’re too old. We have land and we used to have more animals but it was such hard work. You need to be young and strong for your lifestyle ❤ now we do the best we can with growing what we can, keeping a few chickens and farming olives and figs for sale but it’s still very challenging physically. You’re most fortunate that you’ve started this when you are young and fit. 😊

[@karenanderson9740]

Thanks for this video. I so enjoyed watching the sheep / ram work. It looked like you three knew just what to do with out even speaking. The sheep look spry and busy:)Thank you also for your thoughts about work and fixing things. It's good to remember that delays are part of the work. You didn't get frustrated with setbacks, you just switched tasks and worked on problem solving. Thank you so much for taking me on your awesome day. All of it, from the day planning, to the tired night time computer work helped me understand how you can get so much done. You have earned a roast and a sauna! Because he sees you reading and because you have been reading to him since he was a baby, Ivar will soon be enjoying silent sustained book looking and reading. Your time for reading is on it's way.i

[@lieuwina]

Ivar has grown into a lovely little boy and is so well mannered and what is more you can see the love he has for you both. What a long day it has been for you and with so much to do. I can see how from day to day it can be different, as usual one can never know what can happen in the day ahead. Love your videos though I am not getting notifications that is You tube for you. Decided to see if you had uploaded some and found there is four waiting for me to watch. Yippee. Have a nice day.
