It was something that I noticed I was doing recently so I am really happy when I see other women realizing this too 😊 yes it is well meant and hopefully not patronizing when you read the motivation for my comment.

There’s a song by Tim Minchin called If I Didn’t Have You that is written as a comedy song that rejects the notion of soulmates or fate (“if i didn’t have you, i’d probably have somebody else”), but I think it’s genuinely romantic. I’m not with my husband because of fate. I’m with him because we both choose to be and we both put in the work to be together. We didn’t fall in love at first sight. Our love grew over time out of shared experiences and values.

Is there a way for Tolya to sell his products on a platform that we could all purchase from? We’d love to support you in every way we can. After watching you for a while, I will say that Tolya is a really good gift giver and has a very generous spirit. Even if it bothers your minimalist side… let you’re romantic side enjoy it. It will make both of you happy!

yes! I’m so glad you mentioned Montessori schools! I worked at one for 4 years and there truly is such a difference in how the kids learn, it’s such a good system, having them do their own learning at their own pace (without traditional grades) 😊

You are a beautiful couple, so much in love. It is a delight to see such lovely people from such a beautiful country. I am in the 🇬🇧 UK and you help me realise that wonderful people exist all over the 🌎 world. Well done for being the best example that love happens everywhere 👏 💗

I love Finland! I visited Finland many years ago. I was in a Symphony and Chorus group, and we toured Scandinavian countries. We played and sang in the Rock Church in Finland. The acoustics there were absolutely better than anything I have ever gotten to experience since then. It was such a privilege! I was a violinist, BTW....not a singer. My other favorite place was in Sweden when the choir sang an Edvard Grieg piece a'capella in his garden. It was one of those spontaneous things .. totally unplanned....simply because they were inspired by the peaceful, gentle surroundings. It was the best they had ever sang that piece, too. It was such an incredible tour...one of those once in a lifetime things. 🙂 Also, I a teacher from Finland when I was a young whom I adored. And, my cousin actually served a mission in Finland in 1986. At any rate, I can't help but love your country and the people there!

Kindergarten = free daycare and you know what else. Good grades = how well you receive the message, they do not reflect how "smart" you are. Public school does not permit free thinking (or any school for that matter, especially post-secondary). I really enjoyed this upload. It's easy to see you two are completely tuned into your life and are committed to each other and are on the same page in regards to how you will raise your sweet, happy girl. Maturity and practicality is so important these days. So nice to see a young couple such as yourselves keeping it real and not getting "sucked in" to commercialism. Cling tightly to your freedom! Debt and consumerism = indentured servitude. Keep things simple and you will always be happy. Blessings.

You are parents that truly respect your daughter, and care so much about her, you and your husband, will always make sure she feels happy at school, and in life, in general. God bless you and your family.

Thank you! I knew that church had to be important in your lives (meeting one's spouse in church is much to be preferred), and I think that it is more than "Minimal Russian Girl" which attracts many people to your channel. Your family appears to be genuinely happy, joyful, and peaceful; that is rare in a world of chaos and discord--it is attractive because it is "rare". Augustine of Hippo, RC Sproul . . . great individuals. There are rural towns on East Coast of USA, far enough from city but in the countryside.

Oh my, you two are so adorable. This was such an enjoyable video to watch! It is evident that you have a love for each other and for God. Many blessings upon all three of you! If you do ever make it to Boston, the northern coast of Massachusetts, above Boston is beautiful. I might be biased because I live there. I have 4 boys that I never planned to homeschool, but I am doing it, and it ended up being the best decision. Whatever you end up doing with Agatha, I'm sure she will flourish with parents like you two!
