Hi all! Thank you so much for watching this video and for joining along on this new life journey with me. This is a bonus video this week so keep a look out for my weekly vlog coming on Monday or Tuesday this week. 💕
To walk out into a pasture of greenery with a cup of coffee in hands, wearing gumboots, breathing in clean air with the sun beaming down is absolute bliss to me! As an Auckland City girl yearning for this kind of lifestyle, I'm in awe!
Its the best of both worlds, Carrie, living out in the country for such peacefulness and not being too far away from the town for you to get your supplies etc. All good!
I feel like you and Alex have really found your happy place. These videos since you’ve moved have felt so authentic and enjoyable to watch! Excited to continue to watch your journey 😊
That means so much, thank you! Honestly, I’m feeling more myself than ever before. I’m happy to hear that is coming through. Thank you so much for following along. 🌻
I've been relying on your and Alex's videos for my weekly dose of inspiration 💕 you guys are such goals, I love all of this and the longer vlogs give me life and make my day whenever I watch them. I've been following you for soo long I feel like I've grown with you and it's like watching a friend. Lovely thoughts your way, Xx
So lovely… I can feel your happiness living a simple life and in touch with nature. I know it’s not always simple and easy given other things to think about but your happiness RADiates. And! such beautiful shots in a beautiful place ❤️
Hey Carrie - you have no idea how much I am even more looking forward to your video uploads lately. YOU are living the DREAM life but I guess you know that. I am excited to see what you and Alex will make of this gorgeous property and house. Also, I have to express one thing that keeps popping into my mind: PLEASE use the non-sharp half of the knive to push whatever you have cut from the cutting board into the pan. If you use the sharp side your knive will rapidly become blunt.
This was SO peaceful 💛 I want to save it an just watch it every morning. I wish I had the time to have mornings like this everyday. Weekends will have to do. 😅
I’m in love with your homestead ahh and the doggo sneaking in bed is a staple! reminds me when I was younger living on an equestrian rescue farm. Great vid!
I really love to see how slow and intentional you are being with finishing rooms and decor and all of that. It’s so nice to see things come together at a more realistic pace with no pressure to look immediately perfect. I’m moving soon and this is a great reminder to focus on the feel of my space and how I want it to feel before rushing into trying to cultivate something I’m unsure about
So cozy and relaxing! You mentioned your house is chilly. I have a electric fireplace in my home to help take the chill off the air, and provide some ambience. You guys might think about purchasing a few to place throughout the house. It of course does not replace a real wood fireplace, like you have in your living room. But if you were to get one with a remote control, or a timer, you could set it so it would go off at a certain time before you get up to warm up the space a bit, and also add some coziness. It also makes it very pretty at night to have, and looks good. People think my fireplace is real all the time.
your homestead is absolutely beautiful nd so peaceful! i have just started a small farm myself, so i'll def have to follow along your journey as we both embark on starting a farm! :) all the best X
I used to live with my grandparents a lot when I was a kid. Unlike me and my family who lived in a city, they lived in a very small village outside the city somewhere in Romania. The feeling of being there is exactly the one this video portrays and it kinda brought me some tears. I now live far away from Romania and things have changed with the death of my grandpa, we don’t go there as often and there are little animals to take care of compared to what it’s been before. But I miss these mornings. No plan, just helping with tasks around the house, eating simple food and being so excited to have to go to the city for things.
What a lovely video, a perfect mix of husband & wife creative skills! Your plot of land is beautiful and you seem so in tune with it already. Is there anything you miss about your LA house? I remember that house tour was gorgeous, are you planning a similar style for your new place or does your new setting inspire you differently? Woolson is growing so fast! 🐏
Hi Carrie!!from California Vid Ta Maria & Chuck saying greetings from your home state!Really enjoy the beauty of where you live and seeing how happy you and Alex are. You are both strong and you’re having no problems with these major changes. The peacefulness is very alluring. I too am a new mama to a kitten that we rescued stuck between two wooden fences. We named her Butterfinger and I love her to pieces. I think it’s the same love that you have for Lanka and Woolson! I was shocked to see that the twin passed away so suddenly. He is getting so big and you are such a good mama. Thanks for sharing your gentle morning routine! Ciao for now, Baci Baci!🇮🇹🇺🇸
I can never imagine living where you are. I will love it maybe for a month and then my mind will go crazy. Maybe it's just the age plus I have been surrounded with greenery my whole life till now but just a 10 min drive and the city comes and I love the city life. My home is the best of both worlds but I lived in a commune in France once for two months and I lost it. It was exactly like your place and after a month I'm like what do I do 😂 But thats me. And this is you. And I do understand you moving to NZ. It's my parents dream. You are living their dream. And I just want to say, I'm so happy for you. Seeing you happy and glowing ever since you moved here gives me immense joy ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ I don't understand it, but I do admire it. ❤️❤️❤️ And who knows maybe after 30 40 this is what makes me shift to NZ ahahhha ❤️ Sending you love and light 💞
Interesting fact about dogs: they're rather unique among animals in that they innately understand how what a human looks at is the focus of their attention and communication. When a human looks at them, they know that it's trying to communicate or interact with them, and will otherwise follow a human's gazeline in order to discern what the human is focused on and what they should thus focus on also. However, they don't understand human pointing (and are usually too busy staring at the face to notice it anyway), which is why dogs get confused when the human is looking at them expectantly while pointing at the stick that the dog has failed to notice (hint: try looking at the stick instead). Anyways, the reason I bring it up is because Lanka was looking into the camera quite sustainedly at the beginning of the video, and I've noticed it before in other videos too, which is somewhat remarkable because there's no reason he should be particularly interested in it. So Lanka has clearly seen his owners staring into and talking at the camera often enough that he appreciates how it's regularly the focus of their attention, and has become accustomed to mimicing their gaze because it's presumably important to them for some reason. It made me think about how confused Lanka must be over why the humans stare at the "useless object" so often, and how much he must love and trust them because he stares at it alongside them without any idea of what it is or why it's so important to them. 💕💕💕
I was hiking in Westchester County New York today and spotted a dog that looked just like Lanka. I wanted to ask the dog’s human where he got the dog but he didn’t seem all that approachable. I should’ve just asked the dog where he came from.🤓
hi carrie nice to meet you and alex to nz ,im new to your channel ive enjoy watching them my name is sharon im a born breed kiwi, im in the north island places call Gisborne or gizzy most people call it ( first places to see the sun ) i think your home is beautiful eveing the surrounds cute pond , love your orchard ,plenty of kai ( means food in maori )

Nice Hunter boots!! 1) Are comfortable? 2) You use knee socks or you use sport crew socks or you use socks above the ankle or you use low ankle socks or you use no show socks with Hunter boots and jeans or shorts?
Hi all! Thank you so much for watching this video and for joining along on this new life journey with me. This is a bonus video this week so keep a look out for my weekly vlog coming on Monday or Tuesday this week. 💕
Boring and amateurish. Too much inane talking head. Not convinced you know what you're talking about.
To walk out into a pasture of greenery with a cup of coffee in hands, wearing gumboots, breathing in clean air with the sun beaming down is absolute bliss to me! As an Auckland City girl yearning for this kind of lifestyle, I'm in awe!
You’re an ACTUAL real life disney princess. I’m obsessed with your new stage of life 💗✨
It’s time to break into song Carrie!!
Right? That morning coffee has been brewed by cartoon birds. Husband getting all the credit, pah
WHAT IS YOUR CONTENT NOW. My goodness it's glorious. You're living in a real fairytale. Keep channeling this it makes my heart so full
Its the best of both worlds, Carrie, living out in the country for such peacefulness and not being too far away from the town for you to get your supplies etc. All good!
Yes, love that we are not too far away from supplies, cafes, and people. :)
I love how you brought this all together. It really captures the vibe here. Great work 👏🏼
YOU are the best for helping me film this! THE TALENT!
This is the ultimate lifestyle 🙏🏼 lots of work but also simple and peaceful
Thank you for watching! xx
The lamb is so cute
I feel like you and Alex have really found your happy place. These videos since you’ve moved have felt so authentic and enjoyable to watch! Excited to continue to watch your journey 😊
That means so much, thank you! Honestly, I’m feeling more myself than ever before. I’m happy to hear that is coming through. Thank you so much for following along. 🌻
I am just so in love with your homestead and New Zealand. The nature, the animals, the beautiful sunshine. It’s like a dream.
Your videos bring me back to life when I’m in a slump! Thank you a million! 🤍

You and Alex have found your Nirvana. So happy for you both, and your kids Lanka and Woolson. You keep us smiling!💕

Gorgeous gorgeous video. So calming . Loved every minute thanks Carrie.
Maaaaaaah. Woolson is so cute.
Your videos in the homestead bring another type of joy to my day
that makes me so happy to hear. 💕 thank you for watching. xx
Lovely as per usual ♥️ it’s such a warm feeling getting a notification in the middle of my workday about a new Carrie video
Lovely video! And the wrap looked so good! Yummy😋
This was SO peaceful 💛 I want to save it an just watch it every morning. I wish I had the time to have mornings like this everyday. Weekends will have to do. 😅
Loving this New Zealand lifestyle!
this is one of the nicest, wholesome videos I've ever seen!
I love these kinds of videos! I follow a few CZcamsrs who make nature, simple wholesome content. Please do more!
I’m in love with your homestead ahh and the doggo sneaking in bed is a staple! reminds me when I was younger living on an equestrian rescue farm. Great vid!
Layering will become second nature once you have experienced few Wairarapa winters. But staying in bed longer also works😁

I hope to see you on Country Calendar in 10 years when you have your own ‘flock’ and the land has started working for you !

Oooh girl! I just imagine how good that breakfast smelled. I love your videos. You have such a soothing voice and your home is beautiful!

Beautiful! Willson really knows his Mumma. He was so cute joining you on your walk.
'Far more animals then people' is a good way to sum up many of my life dreams

The New Zealand sun is harsh in summer and can burn quickly so skin care will be important.
cảnh đẹp quá ạ
this is such a beautiful video
Very lindo seu trabalho aqui do Brasil
Ball show.
that’s crazy expensive for the skin care imo. i’d rather use cocokind! they’re organic, clean, plant based and so so good. AND affordable 🥺🤍🤍
Nice Hunter boots!! 1) Are comfortable? 2) You use knee socks or you use sport crew socks or you use socks above the ankle or you use low ankle socks or you use no show socks with Hunter boots and jeans or shorts?
Heaven ☺️
Please let me know what month and dates is there?? the reason I need to know is why is look like is winter 🥶 already to me
It’s the very beginning of spring
My only complaint is that this video isn’t 35 mins long
I dont know if watching the whole ads helps you more but I always do it with your videos just in case:)
you’re the sweetest 💕💕
This was one big add, with no substance.
