I lost it when Tom said, "I'm eating still!" and "I'm only one person!" Y'all are good, hard-working folks. So glad you share everything you do on KZread, everything from DITL to minimalism, and everything else. Thanks for doing what you do!

Dawn and Tom, you have a lot to be proud of your children are such good kids, well behaved, independent, and so adorable…

Oh I think this is your first DITL video or not? How fun Dawn! And Tom: Your life is so not boring as the rising amount of followers shows :-) You are my favourite KZreadrs for a long time already. You are awesome!!!

Get the one comfy top in different colours and throw them on with jeans. You look great in colours!

You’re such a light! I sometimes wish I knew you in person and had a friend like you. In the city life it’s hard to meet down to earth, and simple living kind of people that are prioritizing family time and their mental health at the same time. Your videos keep me motivated in my journey of simple living and walk with Christ. God bless you!

Y’all are doing a great job parenting and modeling for your children how a family should work together in love and respect of one another. So refreshing to see a “typical day” in the life of minimal living. Great job!!!

Love the ordinary life! That's what really makes you both so relatable to so many. Kardashians most of us are NOT, so it's wonderful to see REAL life from REAL folks like the majority of us, even if you are a bit famous! (You are... just accept it!) One comment on your workbook: PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE have a good proofreader go over it!! I can't tell you how many "professional" materials I see in print and online that have errors - and it degrades the product. I worked in publishing for the phone company for 16 years so I get it - it would cost us if it was wrong! In our world of emojis and text "shorthand", a well-written, well-typed work seems to be a dying art. I proofread/edit on a weekly basis for folks, so I know "we" are still out there - so find a good one! A second set of eyes are always helpful, and they can point out things that seem clear to you, but makes no sense to someone coming in to read it that is new to the concept. I wish you much success with your workbook!

So true! These days I see so many published items with there instead of their or too instead of to.

Having lived internationally, I second this! A digital copy was often the only way I could get something.

I’m interested in seeing you make meals and clean them up. Also more homeschooling content. How do you set your kids up to do their work independently and which subjects do you help with. I’m a stay at home, homeschool, foster mom, so it’s motivating to me to watch other people with similar routines. Dawn accomplished it, I can do it too 😁

I worked in a bindery... plastic binding was one of my specific tasks. Black plastic binding is great for flexibility! The wire binding isn't always as easy to flip through.

This was so cute to see a peek into your daily life. You have such a great life on the farm there. Thank you for being normal and not over the top like so many people making us feel like our life is so boring or inadequate in some way. ❤️

I grew up in a family with 2 girls and 2 boys. When my brothers reached teens, our parents decided we each needed our own room. My dad started remodeling at the top -- the attic, which they took as their room -- and worked his way down. Took 12 years to remodel the whole house and IN EVERY SINGLE ROOM THERE IS SOMETHING UNFINISHED. No doors on the linen closet, missing baseboards, a carpet (remnant) that's not quite right. If your stairwell never gets painted, it just means your house is lived in!

After so many videos, I sometimes think you must be out of ideas. But no! You always somehow come up with something new and fun for all of us. Loved your day in the life ❤️. Thanks very much for sharing Tom and your sweet kids with us.

Just started watching and was amused to see that the alarm at 5am sounds just like my own alarm recently set for 5am. It gives me such hope that the day can hold such promise - Dawn's wonderful day proves it to be true and it inspires me to find ways to make my days wonderful too. It is a daily choice. I choose to accentuate the positive!

We love Happy Salmon! We've homeschooled since 1999. Home education is the best thing we've ever done for our family. So grateful we were able to do it as it really helped our kids succeed in college and life.

I love how it feels like we're in your kitchen talking to you and Tom is at the island eating and tossing in his 2 cents. Feels very normal, and homey!

That was fun! It’s nice to see a normal life, mine is pretty normal but to others it may seem boring, I’m okay with that! I see a hardworking family raising them freely 🤗 Congrats to Gage and losing his first tooth 🦷💗 Best wishes on the book and love that barn/shed! My Dad always read to the family it is such a positive memory 💛 Thanks for sharing 💖

Loved this Dawn!! So not boring! Would love to see a behind the scenes to making a video of yours, ie the creative process, making, editing etc! And would love to see a DITL video of your family when you've got a day off, that would be fun too. But also more of these. You work so hard and was lovely to see what a day looks like for you! Loved it!!!

Oh this isn't boring to any of us moms. We love seeing what other families do behind closed doors. I especially loved seeing how school works during your day. Also, thank you for keeping it real and authentic. And yay...i love the all black wardrobe. Earrings, jewelery, pants and shoes can change an outfit.

I was killing myself laughing at Tom trying to take the chair with him during the game 🤣🤣🤣 That shed is quite the job!! I’m sure it will be great once it’s all done! Great job guys you have a lovely home 🥰

I love your day! It’s good to see the “whole” life of you guys not just the minimal side (I love that too of course). If that makes sense haha. Tom did get a ton accomplished and I’m sure you did as well in your coffee shop trip

😄Laughed out loud so many times including it “promotes fighting?” and smiled through your kind glimpse into a day in your life! You guys are hardworking, genuine and your children so dear. Best wishes on workbook and shed.🌸🌿

I feel like we need a shirt that says, “I’m only one person!”

I think there is a lot of value in being flexible each day and having just the top few things to get done, working anything else in around the edges. You don’t need any more of a “groove” than what you’ve got now, great job! 💕👍

No, Dawn, black isn't boring! And it also suits you. BUT greenish blue/turquoise emphasizes your beautiful eyes so much! And if you have simplified your wardrobe to black, grey and blue (jeans) already, then turquoise wouldn't mess it up and make it complicated. It goes will all of those (your current) colours. ☆ And that's the wardrobe-system I recomment in general. Find your basic-colour(s) and then mix in one or maybe two nicer, more fun colours. So do I. My basics are black and denimblue, and my fun colour is (dark) green. (I'm a summer-type, like Dawn.) I have a friend with beautiful black hair, brown eyes and golden skin, and she does it with black, white and amber-/honey-yellow as highlight. ☆ It's great, bc. it's fun and still so uncomplicated!

Y'all are doing great! I know you've probably heard this a million times, but time does pass quickly, so the time you're spending with your kids now will not be regretted. Our home schooled older 2 are now in college (one from home, the other in a dorm), youngest home schooler is a 9th grader, and we are all still very close. Get help wherever you can- it's a great opportunity when other family members can step in and help as your mom is with math. Apples to Apples and Rummikub are our faves! Thank y'all so much for sharing.

I'm impressed you have a coffee shop open at that time! And that you just embrace such an early start. And your kids are so well raised. The list goes on Dawn, you really do seem to make the most of your day (I've paused halfway to get ready for work!) X

The shed is coming together nicely! So much space for your machinery etc. 🍀 It was very interesting to see how an average day in your household goes. I can only admire all your hard work and the love and attention you give one another. Getting up at 5:00 in the morning and being so cheerful while taking care of 4 kids and yourselfs is an achievement on it’s own. 👍🏼👍🏼✨

I really like that you don't try to be perfect on camera. Tom, your comments are real, but I can see you really try to be kind and understanding. Many husbands opt out of some of the hard conversations. Good job and it wasn't boring.

Thanks for a peek into your day. Your family makes me smile. Excited for all of your successes-well deserved!

Loved to hear you are still homeschooling! I homeschooled for 17 years and even though it was time consuming it was totally worth it! By the time my kids hit 4th grade they were pretty much homeschooling themselves, I was only checking up on them to make sure work was done. 👍👍 for you. Shed looks great 👍👍 for Tom.

I love how your coffee shop has a fireplace! So cozy. Also I just got a black crewneck long sleeve from Banana Republic on clearance and I love it! I think I going to try your black wardrobe. It's simple 😌

Hi Dawn, I enjoyed this video. It was nice to see you keep it real and show how things are as is. It's real life and if your working on a project, not everything is going to be in its place or perfect. It was a pleasure to see what a regular day looks like with your family.

I did enjoy seeing this day in the life video and so many people commented that this is so normal. Am I the only one who can’t relate? My day is nothing like this. The reality looks more like this. Me waking up tired, trying to get the kids ready ( 4 and 6yrs) rushing to get them to school, sitting in traffic, getting to work late, leaving work late even though I planned to leave on time. Stuck in traffic on the way home, not sure what’s for dinner, kids’ tantrums, bedtime routine. Finally bedtime. I’m exhausted. And tomorrow it’s the same thing again. I used to get down on myself for not being able to declutter, clean and simplify my life. Now I see how your day is totally different from mine. I work full time outside of the home. That is a huge factor that really isn’t addressed.

You are so blessed to have your family around all the time. I unfortunately live alone now and it is so lonely. I really don’t want to complain because I was married for 48 beautiful years and helped raise our grandchildren for many many years. I have beautiful memories but it is a struggle everyday being alone

By 1.58 when you said your husband said it would be a boring video - I thought it was already interesting. Skunk, coffee shop - more interesting than my life. We are still masked up and I haven’t gone to a restaurant/coffee shop since COVID started. ;-)

Thank you for doing a DITL video! I just love your family and how you are raising your kids!!! This was not a boring video, it was nice to see your normal life!

Thank you for showing us your day! Very interesting for me is the homeschooling part because for us in Germany there is no real Home-schooling possible, our kids must go to school, which gives the days a structure, no flexibility (good and bad sides). I also like your evening-routine, which is pretty similar to ours (our tooth fairy must ne the same as yours 😆). Thanks for all your videos - it helped me a lot on my way becoming a "minimal mom" ans it's always fun and makes ne feeling good. And even helps me refresh my English 😊. Greetings from Germany 🙋🏻‍♀️

Hi Dawn. I really enjoyed this day in your life! Thanks so much for sharing. And you wear that black as much as you want, who cares what others think! Love ya, Cindy 🌻💗

I love my mostly black and white wardrobe, not boring, and very easy to take care of and decision making is cut in the morning (can you say AWESOME!!!) It is great that you do not manufacture perfection, it is one of the things I appreciate about you.

Loved this Dawn and Tom thanks for taking us along for a day! Very real and practical! Let's be honest not every day is full of adventure. This is real life and not Pintrest. Way to just keep it real!

It was great seeing your day! I would like to add that you have fans in Europe (Estonia) too, not just US and Canada ;) Your videos of minimal life has been very inspiring to me and my friends. Thank you! :)

Love this day in the life. As an over thinker, can't wait for work book ♥

Tom says boring but I absolutely LOVE "a day in the life of" videos especially to watch while I wash dishes & do laundry makes it go by quicker ! Please please make more !

It was so nice to hang out with you for 1/2h ! I loved this ditl, please do more, we need more of simple, real life inspiration ! Thank you

I really liked this video. It's always interesting to see how other people's days go.

Tom was wrong-it was interesting! My 10YO stopped to watch too! He’s fascinated by the kid’s beds and the kinetic sand…and that Tom is just like his dad (super handy)!

I have watched this video twice now and saved it! What a beautiful example of a family united and happy living in the everyday. Beautiful. God bless you guys!

So enjoy ALL the videos!!!! So inspiring. I'm a homeschool mom of 4 ( 2 already done) but a 10 & 8 yr. old & running a house too ..... We have wayyyyyy too much stuff. Slowly getting there! Thank you for all your real practical tips & thought processes. You guys are so fun & keep it real!!

Maggie’s like I don’t need your help with math, Mom. I got this. Love that🧡 My Em is doing great with Beast Academy and tbh I’m learning math in a whole new way. It’s kinda of insane how I learned math growing up. It was basically rote memorization. That really screwed me when it got to upper maths. I had no idea how or why it worked.

We just got a game for my 10 y/o and myself and my 7 y/o love it also. It’s called Even Steven’s Odd, it’s a dice rolling game that everyone plays at the same time (no taking turns!) and grabs Steven when they complete the challenge(like spoons). There are math skills involved, and the entire round can be done in under 15 minutes- win! A game both my kids and I are enjoying 😊

This was not boring at all! Love learning about you and your families life and it’s always fun to see what people are up to in their daily lives makes it more real and personal ☺️💕

My husband had 3 pairs of jeans like Tom’s but in the evening for 3 nights i put patches on them. Now, no more scratches or dirty knees. I loved seeing the combine. A transplant from Illinois to Florida. (My relatives live in Pipestone, MN) Love your family.

This was such a fun video to watch, you should do more of these I love watching the whole family, and seeing all the updates. But I do understand that privacy is important too with your family as well.

Your family is truly beautiful - it's clear you guys have trained them well to take care of themselves and each other. I'm so proud of you and Tom. If you ever get to Nashville, maybe we can grab a coffee. There are campsites really nearby - within 15 min of us ;-D

I LOVE this! I love a DITL. Also, Adeline, gosh she's beautiful inside and out.(I absolutely love her name, it's very popular here). I'd love a digital copy because I'm in New Zealand and who knows if that would ever arrive if we could even order.

I also think it's great to see you now, as compared to before.. it really shows how things can be calmer on a 'normal' day, and like you said, how we can actually be able to do more projects that we're more passionate about (that isn't about house tasks-lol).. and like how u said you now feel like you have time to take care of real plants. I think it would be neat to hear you talk about remembering the differences between now and then... I know you usually interject with things like that, but I like hearing how you and Tom mention how you did or didn't have time to do this or that and explain why... It's very real life.

Not boring to me, but then I was working on cleaning floors and your video made the job go faster. Tom, great progress. I would be embarrassed to tell you how many years we've been in our house and still don't have all the trim and closet doors up, lol. Dawn I try to get daily walking and talking time with Jesus. I'm getting that Salmon Card game for us to play with grand boys when we can't get outdoors. Thank you both, blessings to all the family.

A digital version of the workbook would be really great! I live in Germany and could read it that way as well, since I don't think these workbooks are shipped to Europe as well, are they? 😉

I highly recommend kinetic sand as a gift! Also, I totally agree with you about buying multiples of a top you like (in black) 😁

You might think this is a crazy idea, but maybe your kids could pack their lunch the night before. Years ago when I worked from home and my older 3 were in school they always packed lunches, the youngest was home with me but lunch was a scramble with her! I was either on the phone or in the middle of an important task which created many haphazard meals. One day she wanted a to “ pack her lunch” like her siblings, out of that desire lunchtime became peaceful. She loved opening her special lunch box, times she would join me in the office eating happily, often she would love to share her meal and occasionally even packed a little something for me ( even though we were eating at the kitchen table ) 😊

Wow, talk about having a mini me!!!! Love your videos and never, ever find them boring!

Oh Caribou! How much I love their coffee!

It was nice spending the day with you. Not boring at all. After seeing your lunch and dinner, it made me wonder about your meals. Do you keep the menu down to a few things or are you constantly looking for something new to print out or pin on Pinterest like me?!

“If they have the digital version- they never have to declutter it” 😂🤣😆😂

This morning, as I figured out what to wear to the office, I thought about your basic black wardrobe and even wished I was young enough to follow suit. However, I'm almost 30 years past you in age and it would not suit me at all. I have to say, I appreciated that Tom's birthday gift to you was a blue shirt. Maybe I could do the black-blue-gray spectrum? But then maybe at this point, as I approach the end of my office work life, it's not in my plans for doing much of a work wardrobe update. I did enjoy living your day with y'all, except maybe the 5am wake up time. I'm definitely more of a night owl!

What about a color scheme? Like shades of deep greys, navys, and maybe 2 other colors that look nice on you? I found I naturally do this bc I don’t like the way many colors look on me. In my closet I have a lot of black, grey, and jewel toned colors. That’s basically it. It’s enough of a variety that people don’t think I’m attending a funeral everyday, but just curated enough that it doesn’t take much thought as to what color to wear in the morning. I think if it as my signature color palette

I work PT in a professional office, and I rotate the same outfits, including jewelry, shoes, sweater, etc. I hang my clothes on a hook in my closet the night before and it really takes the stress out of the morning. I do like colors and patterns, and having the outfits pre-set really makes it easy.

?When did the boys do their homeschooling lessons? How much time on average do the kids spend on school each day? Do you spread it out through the day ?

This was awesome! Tell Tom that you have an incredible life and we are so thankful you share it with us!

I really enjoyed your DITL. I wanted to say thank you for your channel. Because of your awesomeness and inspiration, I finally finished decluttering my 5yr olds room today. I started it months ago but got so overwhelmed that I stopped. I wasn’t even able to walk in it. I had gone in and bagged it all up. Today I finally went in and finished it getting rid of easily 90% because it had all already been in quarantine for months untouched. It all fits on a bookshelf now in bins. That’s not even the best part. Today, for the first time since probably Christmas, my son played in his room for several hours!!! Thank you Dawn, Tom and kids for showing us kids can be happy with less!!

Most nights they wore their "tomorrow clothes" so they could roll out of bed and be ready for school. I had two boys with short hair so this worked well for everyone. Pick your battles right?

I noticed the same with the girls. Maggie was wearing the same hoodie she wore playing the card game. Did they all get rid of their pjs in order to be more minimal?

My husband saw an episode of Judge Judy who dismissed an excuse from someone saying, “I don’t believe that. Nobody sleeps in their (day) clothes.” He laughed because when he was single, he did that all the time. So of course, that has rubbed off on me and I occasionally fall into bed fully dressed and pop out in the morning ready to go. 😇 He will then remind me “Judge Judy doesn’t believe you slept in your clothes!”

They might have just felt awkward in pj's on camera. Understandable.

My mom always insisted we wear pjs to bed because clothes we wore all day could have dirt on them that shouldn't be in a clean bed. But, to each their own. Honestly I don't care what anyone wears, or doesn't wear to bed 😜 lol. Their bed not mine.

I think it was filmed before bedtime and that it wasn't the actual bedtime or on another day where they had time to film the go to bed scène????

Im in Maine so i feel you on the surprise cold snap!! I want simplified so i can appreciate everything more with less things to do. Less laundry, less cleaning, less upkeep.

I found it so refreshing in front of your daughter you didn’t apologize for your hair bugging you to the audience. I watch KZread videos and I find that often the intros are riddled with apologies for small things. Such a strong example for you to shrug it off and mention you’ll take care of it later. I love small things like that about you, Dawn. Thank you for sharing your day with us!!

I love watching what other people’s everyday “boring” looks like
