Woww I think the basement would be a great place for the big kids!! Even if Josiah, Elijah and Pearl decided to make that their own apt/bedroom to have their own space.

Gosh that's quite a sizeable apartment, the little tour guide knows her stuff, well done Melody

What a blessing to have the extra space for the older kids! Did I mention the extra storage for your food and supplies 😊

Melody is so adorable! I absolutely love her personality. She is sweet but you can tell she is also fearless and will not be pushed around by anyone. She is going to do great things.

Melody is a character. I'm glad you have more space now.

I like it when people show real practical homes which are not picture perfect

The extra space will definitely be a blessing. So glad you could have this opportunity.

You should put an extra freezer down there so you don’t have to go shopping every week! 🙏❤️🙏❤️☮️

Yes! I was thinking that. I buy a lots of fruits and veggies and I still have to buy those weekly but I can definitely buy more milk and frozen meat.

Yes, store more bulk flour, sugar and butter. Learn to make your own breads. I’m sure your older daughters would love to do that.

@@TheSiobhan12How many flights of stairs to get the laundry up & down from the bedrooms?🤦‍♀️

Wonderful space for the older kids to have who are more independent & can also earn money teaching music lessons in their own home!

Wow that would be amazing for the older kids to live in and have their own space. So awesome you guys were able to get the rest of the house.

My older kids would all love the basement as an apartment! Congratulations on all the extra space! God is good! Thank you for sharing with us. Sending lots of love from Wisconsin!💕

Melody has so much to say...she is adorable!❤ Thanks for the tour, it was very interesting.

A real estate agent in the making. Good job Melody… Yes, you definitely need the extra space…Enjoy your weekend 💕🙏🤗

I can see the older children moving their bedrooms down there for more privacy. Melody is quite precocious.

What a great blessing! I'm excited for the additional space. Melody is the sweetest.

What a blessing! That has a great amount of potential! Melanie is soooo excited! It was a fun tour! Going to check out the sponsor for the video! Always looking for good storage options! As I live in an efficiency! I am blessed with a garage! Have a great day!❤

Such a blessing to have the extra space. Melody! You did a fantastic job showing the house.💓

Your daughter is so sweet, and I just enjoyed her tour . So happy that you guys have more room . I loved the tour. Right , she will be good in Real estate. Love you guys ❤have a great weekend.

It’s huge!! How fantastic for you all! So much extra space ❤

That would be great for a pantry, play area, but you could really have a nice pantry, music room, play room, get away room! Congratulations on the new space.🎉

Melody you are a joy to watch girl! Love that little voice❤️ you guys can really spread out now!

So very glad you’re gotten to rent the basement. I can’t imagine how much this extra space will help you all. Plus Melody is pure joy!

You should let the older kids use that as their apartment, and then the smaller kids will have upstairs this way the kids will have more room

How fun is it to listen to what little Melody has to say. Absolutely adorable! So happy you have more space now and don't need to worry about bothering downstairs neighbors.

Love this lovely extra storage space and place for young ones to play and older children to do their own things , wonderful ❤

That is amazing! I am so happy for you all. Melody, is so excited about the new place. ❤❤❤

You so needed this! So happy for you!

Such a blessing to have so much extra space. Love Melody giving us a house tour 😅

wow! What a nice space! So excited for your family!

The basement apartment is great!! So fun to see your tour helper!! You did great with it all! Love the Hernest sideboard!! 👏🏻❤❤

Congrats on the sponsorship!! I agree with the other commenters, this space would be great for the older kids.

Such a useful extra space for the whole family!! What a knowledgeable tour guide Is Melody, she’s such a lovely personality!! Can’t wait to see how you use the basement in the future. Sending very best wishes to you all 🧑🏼‍🦳🤡👍⭐️💙❤️

So happy for your family!!!!! Seems like you can do so much with the space!!!! Melody is such a charmer! She reminds me of my daughter when she was little, she didn’t miss a beat! But now, at 14 she knows it all! That mixed with hormones,is a full time job! So glad you have a washer and dryer that will be a true blessing for you! It was a lot for you caring all the laundry! God bless you❤

That is so much added space! Really great. You must be so excited. Especially Josiah lol. Much more room for activities. Love to see it!

How awesome to have this extra space. You can do so much with this space. Whatever you do , it will be spectacular.

Wowza! That is an incredible apartment! It seems like it would be ideal for the older kids, especially Josiah if he goes to law school. He will need a quiet place to study to be successful. And it would be a great apartment for Elijah too if he winds up being a commuter! The best of both worlds for keeping your family together but giving the older kids a bit more independence. And that cellar is a dream for storage. God has truly blessed your family with this abundance of space and a kindly landlord to give you a discount. What a good man he is too!🙏

So sweet you all are! Good Bless! 🏙️💙

I'm so excited for your family! Yeah!

Just love your videos and family. Thank you for the tour of your extra space 💕💕

So glad you have the extra space now.

Having a basement is so nice! You have so much room for future food storage.

What a beautiful space for Josiah, Pearl or Elijah to occupy... Plenty of space for an added pantry as well , you could buy things with a great discount and store down in the basement to save $The space is quite large... .. always a pleasure to watch what you post..😊 Happy day Caravan Family.. 🙏

so cool and needed.

glad you showed the basement and cellar...there is a lot of room for you to use. always wondered what the east coast built brownstone like.

So great you have more fridges to use to store more food and maybe you can have a place to have an emergency stockpile.just a great blessing ❤️🙏

Wonderful that you have extra space .

The little girl is so cute, she never stops moving and talking.

Melody is so inquisitive ❤. I love that about her😂She is a cutie. I am happy you have more room. Congratulations 🎉

Will be so nice for older kids to have some privacy. Love it

Melody is just the best🥰🥰🥰, definitely your best creation so far, she really has that Main Character energy which is no surprise given she's a Sagittarius like me. I would suggest giving her a KZread channel but it seems like she's mostly interested in just talking to mom cause she loves her so much so idk if that would work.

Amber, That is so great to have the extra room. So, you can use some of the space for a pantry. That would be such a great help to you to have back up food supplies. ❤

Melody is so adorable!!! I think that would be a great place for the older kids to stay and it would leave more room for the younger ones. Whatever you decide I'm sure it will be great!!

This basement apartment is great!

It is an excellent addition for the big kids to gain some space and independence!

That is huge!! So much you could use it for.

Thanks for the tour, Melody haha

I’d get a ‘Ring’ set on all doors and Windows for security.

The oldest boy could have it as an apt for himself and pay a small amt of rent. Would help out and he would learn independence. You also could turn part into a playroom to expand and give you more room upstairs.

That's really nice. Those brown stones are pretty big. And the basement love it. It could be an apartment for the older kids

Elijah seems to be having a very good collection ❤

Amber how exciting to have extra space.

Melody is so adorable ❤she took over the vlog lol 😂

Actually, the garden level in NYC townhouses / brownstones were used as the kitchen and for deliveries that could enter the home at street level. Great that you have extra space and lucky you to have an owner willing to rent the space to you at a discount! Perhaps in the Spring some cleanup in the back yard for a vegetable garden ! Just a thought -- ask the landlord but confident he/she would approve !

Loved the tour 😊 Melody is absolutely gorgeous 👍🏻 we enjoy watching your videos here in Australia ❤

I think it is great that you will have more storage for food. You could buy more with each shopping trip before next week's prices are higher. More space in general is nice, too.

My daughters would like some of the vanities that Hernest offers. I’ll keep it in mind for Christmas 2024. 🎄 😊

Since there are no accessible windows down there I would imagine for fire safety that both doors should be in working order. So wonderful to have all that space!! Love the cabinet.

Would be a great place for the older (adult aged ) kids to hang out . Personally wouldnt like a bedroom in the cellar area since there is no window escape if there was an issue. You Defiantley can stick a deep freezer down there, food storage for more room, would be a good area to stock up staples especially if they go on sale.

Melody is so smart girl ❤🎉
