I love how an strong momma she is, I've seen mother's be like " och no, I have no time to do this or that, I have a baby now" even when they are home from work and have their house cleaned by other's. And you guy's have two such a small one's and still you keep doing such heavy work. Off course it's dependable on how easy the pregnancy and the birth went or the health of the baby, not trying to judge here, we are not all the same. I've always loved your video's, you guy's are one off the example family's, which make me feel like "I can do this to" as long as I try. Thanks 😊😊😊👍

I am so happy to see a weekly peek with Garen and Ellie. You two rock.

We agree this episode really blessed our family.

I love the new format. I think you should name it “Mid-Week Peek: G&E”. This allows you to sort of rebrand the spinoff while keeping unified with the family on the other property. It also will help viewers keep straight what they’re watching if they don’t get to episodes right as they are released or if they want to go back and reference something they saw some weeks or months ago. Just a suggestion! I love watching y’all’s family grow!

Oh yes love love love hearing them talk. It would be So amazing if they had a podcast!!! I admire the way they are raising their family!!!

Great video and the the second weekly peak change. The ‘to do’ list looks huge but the doors turned out incredible. I’ve been playing with pallets recently and am running my boards thru a planer. Makes for thinner boards but real shows off the species and grain patterns. It is an added step because you have to make sure ALL the nails and staples are removed. If you had a composting toilet the planer shaving would be an added bonus. It looks like Azalea is ready for the van to be done and planning her road trip. Thanks for sharing!

I love the new format of just Garen and Ellie now and another on Friday with the rest. Hopefully there will be common times together because I like when you are all together but not having it bounce back and forth is nice. Love watching the babies grow!

Azalea is so cute. Great having two weekly peaks now. The van is looking cool.

It seems far better each peek is with the same part of the family and not going back and forth with both parts of the families.

Garen and Ellie, your family is perfect; Azalea and Kinzley are so beautiful. Thank you for sharing all your creativity and how a married couple with two young children can work together. You’re a fabulous inspiration; God bless! ❤️🙏☺️

Love that you are now giving us two weekly peaks. More G & E but mostly more of the girls. Love how you do everything as a family. Great job on the van doors.

Garen and Ellie, it is so lovely to see how you have adapted your life to include your daughters as much as possible. Some people view the addition of children as a radical change or a huge pause on what life was before. You make it look so easy and effortless the way you still manage to do projects and be creative together while having two obviously happy and loved little girls. It's always fun and heart-warming to see your family interacting with each other! Thanks for sharing with us all here in the internet :)
