I had to raise my son as a single mother, before I had him I had travelled extensively throughout Europe on my own and loved it very much. I told my son all about it when he was growing up. When he was turning 10, I got to take him on a wonderful Summer vacation where we drove across the U.S., hung out in Vermont for a week and parked the car in Boston to catch a flight to the UK. We spent 40 days hanging out wandering around Scotland and Ireland. My son loved the ancient Roman ruins, and Scotland has free museums so we just had a blast. He decided to study French in middle school, because he wanted to learn an internationally spoken language besides Spanish in hopes of working abroad one day. He ended up sticking with it and became proficient by the time he was ready for college. He went to college in Lyon, France where he was able to rent a room from a very elderly French woman who lives in her family's 300 yr. old chateau, her homecooked meals included. She told him firsthand what it was like there during the WW2 occupation, so free history lesson included. Even thought it all sounds extravagant, I don't have much money and all these opportunities came about in surprising ways that we just went with. I absolutely love what you are doing as a family, and I agree with your choices 100%. My son returned to France to work in Paris a few years ago, but it was too large a city and much too expensive for him so he returned to the states after 6 months. He ended up seeing more of Europe than I ever did, he really likes Budapest and Berlin. You have given your family a precious lifestyle choice that money cannot buy. You have given them a legacy of joy.

What a blessing you have with the sound of church bells . One of my favorite sounds. God bless you all.

Thanks Linda!!

I have to agree, even as non religious person, I find it a soothing sound, when it’s distant ☺️

You're achieving and accomplishing an aweful lot..Im living vicariously through You're family...

I recall when I was 4 years old, I am now 67 years old, Grampa died when I was age 5, I was sitting on his knee as he was cleaning his garden tools. I could smell the Dentyne gum in his shirt pocket. My point is that he loved me enough to involve me in his garden chores and taught me to care for the garden tools. Little steps create lasting impressions. I love what you are doing with your children!

[@merlenedawes8858]

😅😅Chloe is so amazingly determined, not giving up on getting the wheelbarrow up the hill...there goes the making of a winner...I am amazed at your steady progress..

[@Feinization]

I really love Chloe's persistence and determination. She didn't stop until she gets her way up while pushing the wheelbarrow, amazing little girl! She's such a sweetheart😍

[@silviac221]

The way the parents treat them boosts the girls' confidence. They don't just give them little jobs to keep them entertained, but ask them to help for real. The girls know that they are valued and that gives them confidence to act freely. Great education, especially important for girls.

[@andreaandrea6716]

Yes!! Both girls are really impressive (good parenting!!)

[@andreaandrea6716]

A very warm video. Oh, a tip. When making coffee in them Italian kettles, you need to fill the coffee so's it's a little over flowing pyramid on top. This then gets a firmer compress and a finer, stronger coffee. Good luck.

[@ludyjeffers4078]

I’m your new admirer here in CaryNC. Heather, I am enjoying your strength and courage and supporting your husband building this home through your hand. I don’t know how you do it with the two children. I keep coming back to watch your show. I can’t stop watching you and Brady I’m watching you the way you handle equipment and rocks very safety and that is good. I’m watching you because😂✋💕🤓🤓I like to work in the yard like you to.

[@jeannerogers7085]

You have an outdoor kitchen too, something more and more common in SoCal. Of course mine is just a grill, an air fryer and an electric skillet on the back patio. Yours is quite properly fitted up.

[@dorianzittle7710]

Hello, I wanted to say how beautiful the scenery is there in Italy. It's great to see you teaching the girls how to help in the renovation and their willingness to learn, is so refreshing. It's great exercise for them. Rome wasn't built overnight and your family no doubt will make your dream come true. I have enjoyed your videos. Best of luck. A friend in Houston, Texas.

[@RaisingVoyagers]

Thank you so much! Really appreciate the support! Its definitely not the easiest journey but we are so excited for the journey and for the finished product! Thanks again!

[@sadiebowman2682]

Congratulations on 100k subscribers! You guys totally deserve it. And you should really give yourselves some credit because what I love about your channel is that you show the hard work that you put in to having the life of your dreams. And, as a teacher, I love how you incorporate the girls in every step of your home building process. You have so much patience with them and are willing to take the time to show them how to do things rather than just wave them away. Your girls are learning to be independent young ladies with skills and determination. That's a hard thing to teach and I really applaud you guys as parents. Great job!!!

[@sheilamiller4176]

I’m concerned that moving some of these big stone such as the one close to the base of the building may cause erosion and the building itself may shift. The outdoor kitchen is fabulous! Enjoy this life!!!

[@RaisingVoyagers]

No worries at all! What we moved is completely ok! Thanks so much!!

[@michelevisser-fitton1617]

I thought the same initially until I realised that what I thought was part of the building, saw it was wood and then saw it was your gate!😉

When Brady is struggling with those heavy rocks...I feel myself tensing up because I want to help him lift them :D

[@andreaandrea6716]

(6:37) It looks as if you have some really healthy dandelion greens. This last year, I began chopping them finely and adding them to salad, as they are full of nutrients. THEN, in the spring (when they were abundant, young and tender), I gathered a huge basket of them, washed and chopped, then sautéed them in olive oil with a ton of garlic .... and added them to cooked (and nicely salted) little potatoes. OMG!!! They are so good, my mouth waters just thinking about them! (And to think I used to try to get rid of them!!!).

[@kirkboswell2575]

My brother got tired of fighting the single wheel on his wheelbarrow. He changed the wheel axle to an extra long one that extended a foot beyond the wheel on both sides. He then mounted two small wheels on the ends of the axle. The result is that it still functions as a normal wheelbarrow, BUT it doesn't tip over onto its side because the small wheels stop the tipping.

[@sherylgoins4865]

Loved the church bells, your girls will be so blessed to grow up hearing them and may not even realize it. Looking forward to your future endeavors. I would fund you if i could.

[@maureenabray7660]

We renovated a 100 year old virgin (no plumbing or electricity) farm house that was stripped to the studs, and lived in tents inside the house until the space was liveable. The kids thought it was great fun and we lived 1 ½ hours away so we came for the whole weekend.

[@cookingsherry8784]

I just love your family and the adventures you have together! You've probably had this question a million times, but where do you guys live while you are working on the cottage? Do you own vehicles in Italy or rely on public transportation? Seems like there would be a good place for a picnic table with your outdoor kitchen until your indoor kitchen is ready. How do you get all your building materials up the mountain?

[@earthkarma7420]

Beautiful steps!! Nice work. Where and how did you pick up your skills? Love what you are doing---all improvements while maintaining the integrity of the land and history.

[@AudriannaB-World-Peace]
