lol right

[@IKEMENOsakaman]

I love this channel. It really gives me hope that there is not only one way to live this life, but countless ways to be happy. I'm gonna move out of my small NYC apartment, and will start my life on the roads for the next couple of years. Thank you, Flying The Nest, for your inspirations.

[@flyingthenest]

aww woah! that's gonna be such a massive change! Let us know how you go!

[@kimharris9226]

The effort u guys put into hunter is paying off she's a clever little cookie, she seems to understand so much

[@dennythebudgie]

this baby has grown up quite a lot since I did not watch You guys for a couple of months 😀

[@cathybechtel4376]

Yes, please, show the afternoon and the Witching Hour!. Hunter seems like she has a pretty good temperament overall. That certainly makes it a touch easier I'm sure!. Thanks for sharing!

[@emma8362]

Loved this style of video! Hunter is too cute. She is so lucky to be having such amazing experiences at such a young age! Jess I would love it if you could let us know where your outfits are from! Bit of an OOTD!

[@flyingthenest]

most of my outfits are from Saboskirt or Billy J Boutique :)

[@emma8362]

@@flyingthenest thanks lovely! What about the gingham dress you are wearing in this video? Looks perfect for warm summer days

[@NZKiwi87]

@@flyingthenest I love that summery gingham dress, perfect for summer & super cute!

[@janiehemphill7469]

I loved seeing your morning routine, Hunter is a great little girl, she is so lucky to have such wonderful parents as you two! I’m enjoying all the adventures. Keep up the great work!

[@lauralee9041]

I love seeing everyday life, I would like to see some in town days, shopping and how to prepare for the week. Hunter is blessed to have such great experiences and of course she is blessed to have you both as such wonderful parents.

[@RaisingVoyagers]

Cheers guys! We know how difficult it can be even having a routine in a van period, let alone with kids! We van life for a while with a 5 and 7 year old and at times it can be absolute chaos! We love the way you are handling things, living out of your van but then taking a break in airbnbs. That's something we would have loved to try as it would make things so much more sustainable! Also, our 7 year old is now obsessed with your channel :)

[@OziJo1]

Just lovely to watch. The experiences Hunter is having are absolutely priceless. Thank you for sharing x

[@fiore2151]

Oh how I needed this! My whole family is down with covid symptoms and this video was like a breath of fresh air. Thanks a mill 🧡

[@ceciliam9922]

Thank you for sharing with us a peek on your daily life. Hunter is so lucky to have all these wonderful memories on film. She’s just the cutest!!💖💖

[@flyingthenest]

aww thanks for tuning in :) it's gonna be so cool when Hunters older for her to watch these back!

[@soniageorge]

Oh gosh! What a beautiful little family! I would love to see all the possible routines. Loads of love to you all. ♥️♥️♥️

[@cass060stk]

Hunter is so adorable and very clever! Would definitely love to see an arvo/evening routine.

[@ldhpc]

Thanks for giving us a glimpse at your day. As nana to 3 precious grandchildren I would absolutely agree with those same “witching hours” for them. Always good to hear you’re not alone when it comes to your child’s behavior. Hunter is obviously a normal well adjusted happy child with common times of crankiness like her peers.

[@Travelling_Jonoberries]

Hunter has grown up, we travelled Australia working especially in WA and where also adventurous 4 wheel drivers with a single child, she appreciates all the good times and some bad that we had, she has grown up a much wiser women and we have two beautiful grand daughters, so guys enjoy your time with Hunter as she grows up and she will always be so thankful for the life she has had. Take care, be safe and God Bless.

[@maxdynamics23]

You know it's going be an even greater video when it is dedicated to Hunter! Love this family

[@itsamyyy91]

I swear everytime I watch a new video that hunter does something more adorable than the last.. I can't get over that little cutie 🥰 It's been amazing to see her personality grow so much especially on the road and learning new things 💗

[@mimig6932]

Yes, I loved seeing a normal morning. Please give up your afternoon and evening too! It’s very interesting. Love you guys. And Hunter is getting great experience’s. What fun for her.

[@martinalemmerhofer6937]

This was lovely to watch. To be able to spend so much time with Hunter while she is little and having ball day to show and teach her must make you feel incredibly grateful.

[@ishitajalan1858]

Why is hunter growing soo fast will miss seeing her in videos like this!!❤

[@katedunleavy9653]

You both should be incredibly proud of little hunter and the little best friends for life you have there xx

[@liddoellie1388]

Hunter at 6:57! I cant!! 🥺❤️❤️ i love her so much!! Shes the cutest ever!! ❤️❤️ shes such a smart toddler!! She even knows sign language!! 🥺❤️❤️

[@xlillaoise1497x]

The amount i smiled during that video watching Hunter is nearly embarrassing, she is so happy and seeing her in aw of the roo’s and birds is heart melting 💕 the way you guys laughed at the bug straight after a second of fright reflects directly on her, and you can see how she is so happy out and chill because of you guys, love watching little Hunter and the Flying the Nest vanlife

[@anita5925]

Loved seeing your morning routine! Yes please, to the afternoon and evening routines! Jess, your kitchen skills are admirable! So great the Hunter enjoys the same food, though a more years before enjoying Stephen’s coffee! Cheers!

[@yvonnekneeshaw2784]

Love your family. Hunter is adorable as she climbs into her chair. She is definitely understanding words and learning to talk. ❤️🇨🇦

[@missurbanlifestyle9187]

Hunter is so sooo adorable Jess!🥰 I love how she's trynna help you with hanging up the clothes! Ahh! Just too cute to handle hahah, and how she's starting to understand words tooo! How lovely! Lots of love to your familyy🥰🥰

[@MrsNewfiefan]

I’m watching old videos now cause I’m hooked. Your family is just the sweetest. You could probably vlog paint drying and I would watch.

[@rustypebble6196]

Continue to Cherish every moment. What a Beautiful little family you have created. Thankyou for sharing your experiences and for your reminder of Gratitude. All the best on your Journey.

[@apetxaggie91]

I discovered your channel only just last week, having watched your train ride from NYC to Orlando. Then, I saw your morning routines in the van. You are such a sweet family, and your baby girl, Hunter, is so happy and curious and sweet as well. Safe travels, and thank you for sharing.

[@Nakitzalepotice]

You are the kindest people on KZbin and it's no surprise to see you're even better as a parents. Hunter is adorable and smart, wants to help and good with other people... I wish you many many more travels to new destinations... and thank you for taking us with you! ❤️

[@kels96]

I haven't watched your channel or just KZbin in general in a few months. Watching this was so wholesome, seeing how big Hunter is and how you are living is amazing to see!!

[@bec08]

Love these types of videos! A night time routine video sounds great, and a typical travelling day too 😅 Also think a van life with a toddler Q&A would be super interesting ☺️ You guys are the best!

[@ashleegiles4548]

Yes agree!!

[@cherylkavanagh3387]

It has been such a joy to watch Hunter grow and experience new things. When watching this video, my first thought was that all of you are such an adorable family, which is so wonderful. Continue to drink in all of the these moments with sweet Hunter. Time goes so quickly. I love all of your videos. Sometimes it is nice to have an ordinary day mixed in with extraordinary adventures. Looking forward to the next.

[@motherwolf8407]

I love the peek into what a normal day looks like. I had 1 of 4 kids who had a (witching hour) struggle daily. She out grew it though and is a very strong young lady. I hope you live like this for a long time, maybe moving to bigger vehicles as your family grows, but people who homeschool and travel live the most amazing lives. I love seeing you both enjoy the toddler stage. It is such an amazing sweet time of life.

[@Popo_thvjk]

Hunter is a very good helper, helping Mummy to do laundry ❤️

[@annagibsonofficial]

Wow KZbin recommended me your channel when you first had Hunter and I was so intrigued because my toddler Andrew is 2 days younger than Hunter (born June 4, 2020) and I've lived in Australia long-term twice (before covid). Let me just say I'm shocked to hear that Hunter wakes up at 5 am!! Andrew wakes up around 9:30! And I usually sleep until about the same time. I love that she loves to read. I see a lot of the same mannerisms and developmental skills in Andrew. She is so smart!

[@tamarafissoun2861]

This is like a recipe for a perfect childhood, and not only travel-wise, but emotion-wise as well!

[@rebeccarendle3706]

Lovely vlog😊.. Love how Hunter eats everything.. And eats your food to🤗.. My kids I always ate what we had (except what they couldn't due to allergies) .. And loads of veggies and spicy food.. And they still (age 9 and 16) eat nearly everything and are so easy to feed and love Thai, Mexican, Chinese, Italian etc.. It's so important for kids to learn to try everything and eat as much variety as possible! You can get Finger toothbrushes for babies.. I use to give that to my kids so they could "brush" their own teeth .. Then we brushed their teeth together.. I used the normal toothbrush between them "brushing" their teeth. That kept them happy because they could do it a bit themselves😊. Also maybe try a different toothpaste.. My kids liked some, hated others.. At Hunters age they like strawberry flavor toothpaste.

[@Mel.H_]

Such a beautiful family❤Thanks for taking us with you on your adventures!! Love the day to day as well🥰

[@flyingthenest]

So glad you enjoyed it :)

[@marynbauman1700]

I love how you guys are teaching hunter a few signs in sign language already, it's a good skill for her to have and to use to communicate with you guys.

[@sweetpotatey]

I absolutely love this kind of video. The structured travel videos are really great, but your family just makes me smile. Seeing regular day stuff is still such a mood booster with you guys. Thanks for all the smile-inducing content.

[@kanchanchoudhary7368]

This was such a wholesome and sweet video. Please do share other parts of your day as well. Watching your family is a true delight. Lots of love.

Hunter waving at the Kangaroos argh too cute ! I love how Australian this video is lol so many random native animals just chilling at the caravan park.

[@anetazelazko493]

Great idea for this kind of video ☺️ I can't wait to see one about evening routine with the toodler 🙈 all advantures are amazing but for me this kind of video's are also exciting to watch. It is good to have the whole perspective about van life ☺️ love it! All the best and kisses from Poland ❤️ P. S. They started to put christmas decorations in shops already. Christmas adverts are on tv 😌 whenever I see them, I always think about you (especially Jess) 😉

[@cindynelson992]

Hunter is absolutely the cutest baby💝💝even my husband watched this one with me this morning, and he would laugh when she would do something cute! The kangaroos were so hilarious-that one was like lounging on the beach all sprawled out! It looks like you guys have mastered the van life very well with a toddler, and remember not to sweat the small stuff. I’m a grandma now and wish that I wouldn’t have stressed over the little things like tantrums, refusing to eat, etc. but you two seem relaxed with it all and are doing a wonderful job💜💜loved the vlog! And Jessica-I love those dresses you wear💜💜

[@poppybloom7571]

Love your Channel When I’m older I would love to live in a van like you I watch your videos for a year you now it’s making me looking forward to living in a van when I’m older☁️ :)

Such a nice way to end my day watching your new video! 🤍 You are such an inspiring couple with such a lovely little daughter. Hunter will thank you later for saving all her milestones on camera!! And Jess, you are such a loving mum, who gives her best at educating Hunter. I'm a preschool teacher myself and love seeing you both how you raise your little girl 🤍 It's heartwarming ❤

Loved this video!!! It was really nice to see you guys just as a family and see Hunter in all her glory. My wife and I just recently had our first baby and in the run up to her birth we rewatched all the baby hunter videos. Our little girl June also has a witching hour and I know my wife would likely really appreciate seeing Hunters. She often refers to “baby hunter didn’t do this at her age”, so it would be lovely for her to see that this to is normal

Another great video! Looking forward to the next one! Hunter is such a precious little munchkin girl! 🙏♥️💕
