Home is where the heart is and the heart wants what the heart wants❤️❤️

Based on recent events, it may have actually been the best decision

I appreciate how honest you both were about the difficulties of parenting and that it's okay to need help. As a parent of two young children about the same ages as yours, I know it takes a village!

Yes, some people struggle and keep to themselves. But it’s great that they can admit it and ask for help lol

Love that your Swedish partner has gradually developed an Irish accent! It's infectious for sure. Stay safe and look after those closest ...

LA vs Ireland? I would move to Ireland in a heartbeat ❤️. We in US here fight for even wearing mask and make a big deal. It's crazy!

I agree 100%, I might be in SF CA, but we still our share of "anti-maskers" (after all it only takes a few bad apples to spoil the batch). It would be so much better controlled for human life, as well as the economy (financial cost of healthcare, hospitalization, loss of work, not being able to care for your kids, etc...), getting businesses back open and running if we all worked together. We are both in healthcare field in our house, so we're still working, but we're eating take out to sponsor our local businesses (we've actually never eaten as much food "out" as we have during these past many months (it's Dec 20 now). However, God will, we will have a more commonsense approach to this after the New Year, or soon there after(viruses are not political, they'll kill you regardless of your politics, your religion your gender, or the color of your skin...goodness gracious!!).

Ireland has been in the worst lockdown of all the countries in the world. Its an absolute awful place to live now. The Police/Gardai are like Nazis. They are removing peoples children who attempt to expose their behaviour using section 12 of the mental health act. This Covid scamdemic is destroying everyone's lives.

Donal, you have no idea how fantastic it is to have you back here in Ireland. I am Polish, living in Ireland for the past 13 years. I first 'met' you when watching Kitchen Hero. I felt happy for you when you moved to States but I am absolutely thrilled that you and your lovely family moved back to Ireland. Can I say (as not a native Irish): WELCOME BACK? :) :)

Wow welcome home guys! Lovely to see the family back in Ireland. America just seems crazy these days. Beautiful place full of great people but you couldn’t pay me enough money to live there these days. Run by horrible people who put themselves above the people. Seeing how Ireland banded together during lockdown made me so happy to be here and not in the UK or the US

Congrats on the move and you guys did awesome despite the issues you did it together!! Now you all are stronger!

Glad that you are back in Ireland! Take care, be safe 😊❤️

glad you're safe in Ireland and with family!

What a beautiful and united family. You are wonderful. Looking forward to more videos! All the best!

What an amazing journey for you and your family; thank you for sharing your story! Wishing you every happiness moving forward; you are such a lovely family!

So glad you all are safe now with all the traveling! God bless you!

It is great that you are back in the old sod! Totally love your work, both TV and publications. Hope you will all be very happy back home.

Good luck to you and your family in what sounded like an adventurous few months. Stay safe and looking forward to more of your videos.

Congratulations on new baby ! He is adorable.. and welcome back ❤️

Being near family when you have kids is crucial! I couldn't have done it without the support.

I'm so glad everything went fine. Happy for you living back in your home.

Great to have you back in Ireland

Oh wow, what an incredible story! Thanks for sharing - such a gorgeous family! 😊

What a journey you've taken! So glad you are all safe and healthy and back with family. Keep savoring those moments, all of you

Gosh what a stress! I'm so glad you've popped out on the other side of it, may you take this time to rest and recuperate

Can't believe it has been 5 years in LA already. Seems like last year I have just seen you move there with Max. Glad you made it safely back to Ireland.

I'm so glad you're home.

I'm just glad you all made it home safely. It is important for the boys to be around their family. Sending love and good vibes. 💚

We loved watching you making your journey back with Arthur, we were all anxious waiting for your confirmation flight back.. we loved Arthur living with you guys. Glad you are here in Ireland safe and sound!!

You are definitely in the right place right now! Best wishes Donal!

WOW what a crazy adventure. I followed on social media however hearing it made it seem even crazier. Thank you for sharing.

Really glad you went back to Ireland. Peace of mind.

Good luck hope everything goes well for you both and your lovely little boys

Loved your wonderful showcasing of the diversity of LA but will be equally excited about your Ireland adventures. Come back to LA for a visit...but sometime after November.

A great video update. Hope ye are settling in ok.

Thank you for all the entertainment really enjoying your videos. We love you and your beautiful family.

I've only just recently started to see your content and I've really enjoyed it so far. I personally think you did the right thing. There is absolutely nothing like having family around you, and having your children getting to know their grands. From what little I know and have seen of Ireland, I think you did the right thing.

I cannot imagine what it’s like to travel like that with two children on top! I’m anxious as hell about moving to Colorado at the end of this month and I’m just driving!!! So happy to see you guys made it home safely!!!

Good to see that you are all safe and well in Dublin. Hope to see Arthur again in future videos.🐨🦘🐨🦘😷

I’m glad you guys made the decision to go back home! Love you guys no matter where you are ❤️ love how you said you moved because you needed help! Lol family is the best help! stay safe!

And family comes first! Always!

Oliver is such a sweet angel! I love your sweet little family! Stay safe! ❤️

Sorry you needed to go through this, but I'm glad you guys are all together, safe and close to your family ❤

Welcome back to Ireland, I can imagine it's been a very stressful few months. Hoping things can calm down and you can all enjoy family life in Ireland - you have two beautiful kids btw.

Welcome back to this side of the pond. I sincerely hope you are all very happy as a family. I shall look forward to watching many more of your lovely videos. Take care.

HUGS and love to everyone

Wow you have been Blessed with 2 most adorable little boys and I am sooo jealous. Good for you though Donal. Thank you for this lovely and most personal post. Blessings from Cape Town - South Africa. 🧡

"This" time with your beautiful children is the most fleeting glad you will now be able to share it with your family.

Glad it all worked out in the end guys. Stay safe.

Oh Sophie, I really felt for you during your whole move. I’m in awe that you’ve retained your sanity!

Thanks for sharing, what a tough time but you are an inspiration! Was sooo hoping you would do a video about your move so really appreciate it! ♥️

Glad you made it safely home. Sounds like a nightmare but you made it through. Way to go! Thank goodness for the internet so we can keep up with you. I assume you will continue sharing your recipes with us when things calm down. Your kids are so darling.

Great to see ye have settled back so well. I did the same thing 15 years ago from France 🇫🇷.

Glad you are safe and sound! And near your family!

Look at little Oliver🥰🥰

Currently watching this now - only 2 minutes in but loving this little chat. So glad you are home in Ireland - which is probably safer than America at the minute. Can’t wait for your new shows and videos. Welcome home.

Welcome home you guys. There is nothing like being close to your family when you have kids. Enjoy the time you have together!

Welcome home Donal. Don’t blame you for coming home. I’ll miss our chats on the plane & seeing you in lax airport. Looking forward to more shows.

Glad you guys made it safe and well.

Home is where you feel comfort and where the heart is

Wow, that must have been scary travelling at that time. I'm glad you, Sophie and the kids got home safely. Can't believe it's been years already! I still clearly remember watching your videos talking about the big move to the States! 😯. I'm looking forward to hearing about your new adventures in this new chapter in your life!

Congrats and Good Luck on your family's move home! Love your channel. From 2016 to 2018 we moved our family from Pennsylvania to Barna (just outside of Galway) and back. We had two dogs, teenage kids, and no pandemic. That stress was enough. Our estate in Barna was Carraig An Iolair (Eagle Rock).

You are really courageous. I applaud both of you. Moving with kids is already stressful on top of the pandemic. It is important to be close to family. You took the right decision.

This sounds like an absolutely wild and thoroughly exhausting ride... glad you guys made it safely and are on the other side now! Hopefully sometime in the next year or two you guys will be able to go back and say your goodbyes to LA properly, and until then can rest and re-adjust! Thanks for the update :)

I have been on a journey watching this video. I feel like I've experienced just a sliver of it. Good to see you guys got back in one piece! Stay safe and healthy!

Welcome home, home is where the heart is for sure ♥️

OLIVER IS SO CONFORTABLE IN YOUR LAP, ALMOST SLEEPY, LOVELY BABYS, HAPPY FAMILY COGRATULATIONS

Thanks for that! "We're in the right place for right now!"

Best decision ever and what a wonderful son, so good and beautiful!!!

Thanks for sharing; it looks like you've settled in nicely - what a relief it must be for all of you. Can't believe you were here in the US for five years! I'm a longtime fan, and Ireland is our #1 travel destination. My husband and I would love to retire there but the requirements are tricky if you don't meet the criteria of job, school or family. We are sad that it may be a while before we can visit again due to covid but as soon as we can we will come back again ... and again ... Slainte!

What a marvelous family! Such fun......And Oliver is just a perfect TV personality already! Just smiling and posing for the camera...Both boys are reflections of Mom and adorable..Beautiful family!!🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰

I hope L.A. served you well while you were here. I’m an L.A. native and this is my hometown so I’ll never leave.

Shoutout to the cutest couple out there! Lots of love to you guys!

I am so happy for you🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻💕

what a blessing Arthur was!

Well, I'm happy for all of you! 😁

Congratulations on moving FROM LA!! Probably the wisest move you could have made. Ireland is so beautiful, and "normal." Had to be in LA a few times on business, and never have a desire to return.

Will always support you guys. Look forward to new videos.

Hey Donal, I'm SO happy to hear that you are here in Ireland! I am a HUGE fan of your channel and you inspired me to make my own channel and I really hope I can meet you one day!

Awww where is Max? I still remember how tensed you were Donal when he was making his way to LA from Ireland to join with you guys:-) wowww sweet memories x so happy to see you here after a long time. Cute kids! God bless you all.

Glad you came home..

I would love to live in Ireland, ( the home of my family). Thank you for telling us! I love your recipes! I will follow you.

Sophie and Donal, you both together makes SUPERCOUPLE! SUPERPARENTS! I don’t have kids and could not imagine myself with kids, but when I do, I hope I will have both of your strength, capabilities, energy and positivity.

Welcome home !!!

I can relate. I moved back from SoCal to Europe (Switzerland) a week after 9/11 - there's no place like home! Thanks for sharing and happy settling in, Skehan family!

Ireland all the way! And by the way, that new little one is beautiful!

Dear Donal and Sophie, It seems you had quite a journey... Wishing you happiness and joy in beautiful Ireland Love your channel and recipes and will keep on following you where ever you are💖

Hope ye setting down alright guys!! 😊

You say, "we needed help" and wanted to be close to family. It's great that you were able to find both things in Ireland. Ireland is such a great place to be in a pandemic situation, especially after how poorly people are handling it in the U.S.A. . Less drama, more beauty in Ireland. Stay safe.

Well done guys. With everything that is going on at the moment it is better to be near family. You should do a video about the differences between the food/produce in Ireland vs LA.

I’m still making your Irish stew the way you showed me years ago 🤗 Take care, all the best back home

The most important is happiness for you and your family....whenever your are the gang is here.....

Ireland is so beautiful! I wish I could’ve visited it this year. But, C’est la vie!
