- What do you do all day? What do you do for work?
I've heard that first question since I decided to stay home with my first baby, instead of going back to work.
Now, I get this second question from lots of people who watch our channel.
I wear many hats on any given day- mom, wife, creator, writer, photographer, videographer, entrepreneur, runner, friend, volunteer, etc. This is your chance to get a sneak peak into the life of this work-at-home mom, living on the tiny island of American Samoa.
This video is different from our videos and we're interested to know how you liked it. Let us know in the comments below or with a thumbs up/thumbs down.
Thanks for watching!

Thanks for sharing this, Theres an old Samoan saying "E te fiu e saili solo se mea e malie ai lou loto ae ia e manatuaina e te maua lava i lou aiga" (True Happiness can be found right inside your HOME, no matter how hard it is, you look for it anywhere else in this world) stay safe, stay simple, God Bless.
“ When u quit searching for what satisfies the soul - remember that in a family is where u will find ”. An old Samoan Proverb!
These are both beautiful ❤️ And they make me want to become fluent in Samoan. Family is and has always been our first priority. As long as we keep it that way, we can be happy no matter what. 💗
No way! Is that Matafao elementary?
You rock that ie lavalava Teine Samoa❤❤❤
Thank you 😊❤️❤️
Really look like a teine samoa. God bless
😊🎄❤
Well said!! GB
Loved the family praying... made me tear up. God bless ur family!
Yea for some reason it makes me extremely emotional as well U just feel it. Literally u do if your faith and belief is strong........... Your where your minds puts you..... Happy Holidays folks.
Thank you for sending your love ❤️ Family prayer has always been a part of our daily routine. It would feel strange not to. God bless you both too.
ohhhh i enjoyed today's vlog. i miss riding in the back of our trunk in samoa with only 25 speed limit.. the fresh air . love your day in life. i just really miss samoa. and i really love tutuila green salad they are the best and the bom i 100percent recommend it. I am also a member i was in the pago west stake pavaiai 2nd ward. love how your family gather and say a small scripture such an inspiration for me in the future. happy early holidays from your tacoma fan. i would be so happy if it possible for you guys to vlog the christmas lights whenever you guys are planning to go see the lights.please
Thanks for the idea! We’re going to be heading out to see the lights this weekend. Watch for them next week. 🤙
@@AmSamFam thanks yu for accepting my request. Much ❤.
Who the heck dislike videos like these? These videos are pretty awesome!
Thank you 😊
Haha..... I was just thinking the same thing!!
The best things in life aren’t things. Thank you for sharing a little bit of your day. God bless!
I wanna see Nate's day in the life.. love your videos
I loooove this! I love your playlist! I usually listen to my rap, Tupac, Biggie Smalls,SNOOP Dogg as loud as I can with the bass on +5 when I am riding solo. I am still gangster, even with toddlers 😂👐🏾
Did anyone notice how odd the white van reverse backwards as she pulled up to the store?! 😲😲😲 watch 8:01
I actually took the video as I was leaving. I wondered if anyone would notice that 😂😂
Beautiful family!! God bless n be safe🙏
Guardrails and groceries! Didn't have much of either when I lived there in 1968-70, but when I saw "flower pot rock" (what my family called it) at 4:10 I almost cried for the nostalgia. In all my years and miles of travel I've never loved any place more.
Fatumafuti has that effect on us too ❤️
Now I see why you live in American Samoa!! What a beautiful beach run!! You’re definitely blessed!! Keep up the good job, and please keep posting.. thanks you for sharing your beautiful home island. Tofa.
Yes we are blessed! It’s a beautiful, special place we live in ❤️
Love your work! Your lifestyle is the true lifestyle there. I miss it. I can relate. Miss running from Nuuuli to Matafao on the side walk. 👍🏼
I listen to R&B in the 80s and 90s when I drive around. 🙂
Nice! I know I’ll miss this place like CRAZY someday when we move on to a new place. Luckily, I don’t think that’s anytime soon. 😊
Your time is wisely invested, take care and great vid. I’ll check out the singer- songwriters you mentioned. If they’re anything like Joni Mitchell I’m sure I’ll love them. I’m a kickback to the old 60s, 70s, 80s music. No specific genre, heck I didn’t even know there were genres growing up. Was until my late teens before I found out the differences between country, rock, soul, R&B, etc., ignorance is bliss. Lol Soifua
Haha, I didn’t know about music genres for the longest time either. Growing up, my mom had a Carole King record that I couldn’t get enough of. Recently, I realized that my taste in music definitely reminds me of that 😊
@@AmSamFam Carol King, Joni Mitchell, Karen Carpenter, were a few of the female singer-songwriters I listen to still. What amazes me was they're vocals, they never had the the electronic enhancements they have today. Soifua
Talofa family! I just became a subscriber on your channel after I stumbled on your video on how you ended up in American Samoa. I was born and raised in American Samoa and I left for college in 2004 and haven't been back since. I must say, watching your videos makes me homesick, but most of all made me realized how much I took for granted growing up there. Thank you for sharing with us your lives on the island. You have a beautiful family and thank you for reminding me how beautiful my home island is. Fa'afetai tele lava. Alofa atu. ❤
❤️
Talofa AmSamFam, I enjoyed watching yalls vids. I miss home so much. Y’all have a great and safe holidays back home. Covid needs to go away so everyone can come back home visits fams and loved ones. 🤙🤙
Agreed!!
My daughter used to work at SPW. She said she knows you all! She told me on some 5k run a little while back, you helped and a friend with some running techniques. Thank you for that!!
Great! Running is one of my passions and I’m always happy to share what knowledge I have 😊 Glad I could help.
This is such a beautiful video of a day in the life of a wife/mom/lady living in American Samoa. Very well shot. You work hard throughout the day.
I really enjoyed getting a glimpse into your lives and routine. I hope your healthy habits will inspire more of our people to get up and move!
Agree 100%
And pickup your trash.
The weather there reminds me of when I used to live in Alabama. When it looks like it's gonna rain, it's gonna rain in like 2 seconds. 😂
Yep, sounds like it 😄
My favorite American Samoa family!!❤️🙏 We love you guys! Thank you for sharing your experience with us. Love all your videos!🙏🙏❤️🤙
Thank you! 😊
We don't have much in Samoa but we appreciate and enjoy the simple life. Love when you rock tthat ie lavalava...... Check it out Luke Comb: When it rains it pours!! 🤘
Thank you 😊
Its a beautiful life being in American Samoa with families and full with lots of love... keep it up... Love your family. I miss my family in LA..
I would so join you if I were there.what a beautiful run. Also when you guys said your prayers I got teary eyed coz that’s literally what me and my family do. It’s also so true how material things don’t make a person truly happy it’s family and your loved ones.
Thank 4 showing my home town. A-Samoa. Miss home so much. U video are awesome
Love & Blessings to you & your Family ❤
I love all the videos you guys create! It's interesting to watch as a Samoan American! Thank you for sharing!
Your kids are adorable🙏🙏Such a blessing. God bless your beautiful family🤙🤙🙏🙏
Love this content the life of the mom great MOM u guys have a great family and keep them çontent coming love it much alofas from Park City Utah
Thank you ❤️
One of the best places to raise your kids, I wholeheartedly agree that you all made the right choice to move to Tutuila. If anything, as your kids get older and you decide to move at least you can feel accomplished for giving your kids the gift of experiencing the simple life.
💯!
Wow! I Love your work 💕
Thank you! ❤️
@@AmSamFam You're welcome ❤
Love your video, really miss American Samoa especially beautiful village of Pagopago. God bless you and family.
This has been my favorite episode so far. I love the beauty of your island home, but the day to day, every day living looks and feels so different from a holiday or vacation stay. This is a good perspective for anyone who is thinking about moving and living there full time.
Yes! That’s exactly what I was hoping to show. It’s one thing to visit a place for a few days and do all the fun touristy things, but living in a place can be so different. Life in American Samoa isn’t perfect, but we love this island life we’ve built here ❤️
love your video. Its great to see my village Nuuuli here. I have to say I love seeing a palagi woman on a lavalava. Oh and what a beautiful family. Very awsome. Again thank you.
Love the love that you see within this family. Wish you all the best guys!
I miss Samoa! God Bless!
I love your simple life! The island life for sure. Thanks for sharing.
We love it too 😊 Take care.
What a beautiful and loving family💖💕
So nice 🥲 happy for you. May you and your family be blessed everyday!
Much love to you all. Blessings!
Is so nice to see other colors PEOPLE INJOY living OUR Am, Samoa. I see her kids LOOK THEY like it. It nice. I'm writing from GERMANY.
Very cool! What part of Germany are you in?
Subscribed! I know how interesting to live on the islands. I'm currently in the states and still planning on moving back home to the islands. I'm missed the freedom and the relaxation life. A.S. is very lucky to have an Economist working and taking care of their gov't. Talofa!
Faafetai! So glad you subscribed!
It’s been a while since I’ve watched one of your videos. I felt so nostalgic seeing the kids going to school, going down that same road back and forth. Good job on the run. The only thing that kills me are the dogs, and the humidity...other than that, another awesome video. Thank you for sharing.
Those definitely both make running more difficult. It took a couple years for my body to fully acclimate to the point that I didn’t feel like the humidity was going to kill me each time I went out for a run and I’m always very aware of any dogs I come across.
Thank you for sharing enjoy the video very calm and pleasant
My stomping grounds. I live all the way at the back in the green and white House after the gate, we’re the second to the last house in coconut point. Just spoke to my mom and she said she ran with you. Thank you for showing my beautiful village. I’m bringing my husband and son to visit my parents and my siblings in a month. Can’t wait to come home!! 😭❤️
Thank you for sharing. God bless your family and staying in AM Samoa.
Being Samoan myself…I absolutely love how open you both are in your journey through the beautiful land where I was born and raised varying years of my life as a young person.
You also pronounce SAMOA soooo beautifully!!! Keep up with these wonderful videos that my husband and our daughters enjoy so much!!
ALOFA aku!
Fa’asoa/Tom/Carissajean & Christinagrace!
Thank you for sharing your family journey with us. Makes me miss home more now. I love your choice of music for this video.
Thank you! I tried to really represent the type of music that is the soundtrack of my life. Glad you liked it 🤙
Bless this family 💕
💗
Thank you for sharing. very nice.
I went to Manulele Elementary Is were nuuli at😁♥️💖 Much love to your family God bless you all❣️❣️
I miss Am. Samoa. Poldark is also a good show that’s binge worthy.
I’ll have to check it out. Thanks for the recommendation!
Poldsrk is great! Also love Call the Midwife. :)
@@freemichigan2657 Gotta give it a try.
What a beautiful family. God bless you all. Stay safe
Fa'afetai tele lava for sharing your beautiful home and family! ❤ missing home everyday!
Great videos, I mention it to some of the Samoans living in New York and other parts of the country about sam fam, glad to see your family enjoy paradise, even though the humidity, hope to visit again when boarders opens up again, bless year to the fam. Aloha from Hawaii.
Thanks for sharing our videos! Hopefully you’ll be able to visit soon 🤞
I miss home ❤️ what a lovely family God bless ❤️
Thanks our family our journey with you guys has been incredible
I miss you guys!! This was really fun to watch.
I’m glad you enjoyed it 😃 and we so miss you guys too!
Wow. There’s a sidewalk on the ocean road now? It’s probably been there a while (I left in ‘77 and have only been back three times, the last for my mom’s funeral in ‘02). I really miss riding everywhere in the back of a pickup. I learned to drive on my dad’s Toyota Hilux stick shift in 1974. Hard to get in trouble driving when you can only go 20mph!
Isn’t that the truth?!
Many blessings to your beautiful family. 💛💛💛
Thank you so much for the videos, I love watching you guys and your lives in American Samoa.
Thank you 💗
This was a awesome video but you made me tired lol from the running and exercise. Loved it as it wsa good to see a day in your shoes.
😄 The best part is the stretching and cold shower afterward.
@@AmSamFam Well i am glad you done my workout for me lol so thank you as that is enough for the month for me. You keep so busy.
Amazing I’m mixed and haven’t been back since I was 16 I’m now thirty five and creep out about coming back home . Especially with all goin on. Different these times my mother owns land there and it’s just been sitting and have no idea of what it looks like after all these years . Damn it’s still beautiful as I remember it.
Hopefully you can come back soon, at least for a visit, to see the island for yourself again ❤️
@@AmSamFam most definitely will never forgot how friggin beautiful it is there absolutely a goal for the new year .😎😎🙌🏽
Get it girl!!! Watching this one made me teary eyed..missing home . You’re an inspiration ,you can build a women running team there. You would inspire many there. I love it.Mommie’s job is on going 24/7.Girl powa!!!
Yassss the Ie lava lava tho, love it!.love it fams. Thank you for taking us with you. Blessing upon you both & the kids. Alofa atu fams frm Seattle Nei💕
One day your family will be blessed with so much more to come.🙏✌️🤙🤘 love y’all from California! Keep them videos coming
Beautiful family! God bless you all! ❤😊
Matafao was my elementary school growing up,I always stopped by to get German buns at Amy's bakery back than before school. Hehe... .I've seen alot of changes there in ASAMOA since I left 2007..Great Vids guys. Hope you guys stay longer there a place I call Home.
Very cool! Did you know they tore Amy’s bakery down a few months ago? They’re rebuilding something in that spot, although I’m not sure if it’s going to be the same thing or something completely different.
You look like a FOB Samoan lady doing your home chores at home while your family’s away. I love you guys.....my only hope is that your family finds and befriends a Samoan family so you could really be closed and enjoy the bond of having family members with you. Families living together and sharing family land and family wealth is at the core and center of the Fa’aSamoa.
Beatiful fam!!! And yay for Call The Midwife and Downton Abbey!!!! ❤❤❤ sending you and your family lots of Aloha from Hawaii.
Family over everything.
I used to love the freshly baked bread at Aveina Store everyday. Just butter on the bread and Im singing driving down the road
going to ASCC.
Mmmm, we love their freshly baked bread too 🤤
I love watching this family love you guys
Awesome video! Thanks for sharing.
Love your journey in Am. Samoa. God bless you and ur family :)
I was born in W.Samoa and now living in Australia but I do miss the island life.. ridding at the back of the Ute is better than any theme park rides....
Thanks for the video, i stop what I do and what your guys video. I am glad that you guys are like real samoa with the way you do stuff on the Island. Can't wait for more vids.❤❤
Thank you! This is why we keep creating these videos, for super fans like you! ❤️
Awesome and thanks for the amazing show.
Wow great video! This is love and family ! You are a true Samoan!!! ❤️
Yoga is the Best medicine. I love yoga. Thanks.
What a beautiful family
I use to run that same route every morning back in 2009 when I came down for family funerals due to the tsunami. Being in the military running became a lifestyle.
Thats why God brought you guys over there for a reason, and its absolutely fantasty and lovely family, what a routine everyday ,its look like you working full time in a different company or something lol, anyway good to watch amsamfam ,tofa soifua❤💖💗💙💚💛🧡💜
Beautiful family 🥰 new subscriber 👌🏽
Awesome! Thanks!
Island reggae in the car for me😍
Fun!
You eat pancakes with a spoon to scoop up the syrup..
You need peanut butter to go with those bananas...or peel and freeze them, then dip in chocolate. Bananas are a universal snack food. Eat as is , or doctor them up some.
The " real life" video idea is great...
No hot water? You have lots of sunlight...get one of those solar camper's showers
Haha, I never thought of it that way. We’re lucky to be in a place where you can get local, freshly harvested bananas year round. We like to freeze them when they start getting to old and then throw them in fruit smoothies 🤤 But I love them with peanut butter too.
I Can’t wait for the flights to return to normalcy ...missing home 🇦🇸
Awesome show....! My family and I really really enjoyed it! Tofa soifua!!!!
So much love in your family keep it up♥️
Love this format
Good to know. Thanks for the feedback!
Awsome content respects and love from Australia 🙏🏽❤
Thank you for sharing! God blessed 🙌🏼😍

Awesome! Thanks for following our adventures. It’s a small island, I’ll bet we’ll run into each soon 😉
All the best. Thanks for sharing video 👍🏽.
Love your family. Keep up the great content
So Genuine and inspiring.
❤ my old village of Nuuuli thank you sharing our beautiful island.
Thank you for showing us what you do in a day etc, Lovely, beautiful family.... Can we see what Nate does too work etc? Not if it's gonna be too much for you. But you guys are again.. awesome as a family, family first before everything. Such a wonderful life you guys have. God bless lots of love. From some random here in N.z xo
Nate’s job is pretty boring 😉😄 Recording his would be a bit more challenging, but we might get around to it one of these days.
@@AmSamFam Awesome family, highly recommend your videos to all who are thinking to visit AS. Now I need to go find who's cutting the onions in my house! haha :-)
@@rosemanu28 well played 😭😉
Enjoyed this on as well. Love the vids. See you rocking that ie lavalava well. It's great too see glimpses not the island in y'all vids.
