Please don't take it personally if viewers don't go up and say hi. I would never have the nerve. Sometimes its due to their own insecurities and nothing to do with what you've been through as a family. Or maybe they think you'd find them prying. I promise 99% of us viewers got best intentions at heart xx
Bonnie I'm so sorry you had a mice problem when you got back home, that is horrible. So sorry.
Omg the drama. They're mice. Not man eating creatures. Seal where they came in, set traps, vacuum up the mess and move on. This not earth shattering. Come on guys, really.
I think if you had a new house and mice had been all over including your new sofa you'd think differently
@@belindacreech107 SHUT UP! This didn't happen to you, so just SHUT UP! It's easy for you to sit behind your keyboard and judge others, but if this happened in your new house with your new furniture you'd probably be far worse. I think Bonnie and Joel are handling the situation like champs. I will defend them! Right now they don't need snarky comments. What they need is love and support. Words of encouragement to motivate them. They need prayers for comfort and how to navigate through their life. What they don't need is people like YOU. If you can't say anything nice.... don't say anything at all!!!! I will defend them, and I know others will too-- so back off Belinda Creech!
@@belindacreech107I disagree. Mice are extremely invasive and carry disease. Even when I find one mouse in my house I get super anxious. I can’t even imagine finding them all over my house, find mice poop everywhere and not knowing where they are. I would have freaked out way more than Bonnie did. I am absolutely terrified of mice.
Bonnie, we met at CVX live in 2018 and you took me aside for 20 minutes and fully conversed with me about life and Utah and who I was. I will NEVER forget that special moment. I hope viewers continue to say hi and you make them feel just as important as you did me. Human connection is SO vital. Let’s keep the kindness going!! ❤❤
Are You Gonna Start Saling Your Bollie Robes Again? That Is Terrible For you And Your Family To Have Mice In All New Home
Thanks for the reminder. I’m so glad you remember that ❤
My brain can’t reconcile this gorgeous tour of your home…..while we hunt mice…..good luck lovely, hopefully they’re all scared off and those that aren’t are caught.
SAME 😅😅
Guys when you build a house out in the middle of nowhere you are going to have mice. You will have a mouse problem for years. That is just how it goes when you live out where no other houses are. It is life.
If this was my house I would get some barn cats. Cats really help with mice and rats and snakes.
We had a mouse problem and they got in my washer and dryer and pee peed and I dryer some stuff and it was not good. Had to buy new washer and dryer.
If you use a vacuum I recommend getting a new one as the pee and poo get into the tiny crevices and then your carpet will start smelling. I went thru a mouse problem. The only way we control it is all the cats in my neighborhood. We have not seen one mouse poo in three years.
We had to get new couch and chairs as the poo and pee was inside the couch where we could not get to without cutting the couch.
Good luck. I pray you don't have to buy all new stuff like I had too. It was a nightmare. In the summer if you start smelling something off it might be your rugs and couches or other stuff that the mice peed on.
Flip over your couches, mices can go up inside the fabrics and make nests. Mouse can squeeze thru a size of a dime . Your attached garage , I bet your attached garage has more. Watched out for your camper too, mice can start inside there too.
Sometimes you seriously can't control getting mice in your house they can come through vents also. Don't feel bad. No matter what you do Sometimes things happen.
It is what it is & 'to us' actually no big deal we get a mouse or a pair every winter. ☹
Long time viewer here. Been watching since you were pregnant with Lincoln. I became a mom myself 2 months ago of a beautiful little girl. Thank you for sharing your life and being an example of an amazing mother! 👏 I hope I can raise my children the way you raise yours. ❤
♥️♥️♥️♥️
Sweet Bonnie. I think y’all are handling this situation fabulously! It could be any one of us, but look at you being so brave and sharing. I admire y’all so much for the real life share. As a side note, being a lonnng time viewer, I might feel like I was invading your space if I saw you out in public. But…I’d want to give you a mama hug so bad! The jewels right now are your children and they are so considerate, kind and a joy. Joel is as good a father as you are a mother, so a great team! P. S. I wouldn’t hesitate to walk barefoot through your home after you clean. You’ve taught this old dog a couple of new tricks over the years. 🩵🩵🩵
I would hug you the minute I see you Bonnie, just to let you know you are loved ❤ unfortunately I live in the Netherlands so very far away, however you are always welcoms in our country ❤
I would be so overwhelmed by this. You’re doing so well Bonnie and Joel.
If I saw y’all out and about, I would never have the nerve to come up to you to say hello. One, because I am way too shy. Two, because I wouldn’t want to be intrusive with your privacy. Third, I would probably cry like a big ol’ baby lol.
Other people might be feeling the same way, just simply respecting your privacy. ❤
Bonnie, my uncle had a house next to a corn field. He said as cold weather set in the mice lined up with their suitcases to get in. Made us all laugh but the down side of farm life. He eventually got the holes taken care of.
I know I'm not making your day but mice are sneaky. It's been months and we are still getting them. Not as many but still there. Check your stove thoroughly. The stove is clean but they love to hide there. Good luck. Love you Hoelleins!
I’m so glad you have the trailer. And you and Joel do so well together
I know this isn’t the way you wanted to come home, or what you wanted to come home to. But there’s something so satisfying about watching someone deep clean their house! I hope you’ve been able to settle back into your home, fresh smelling and mouse free! ❤️❤️
Bonnie you should put cotton balls with peppermint oil in the corners and wherever you put the traps...peppermint oil keeps them away they don't like the smell..too strong
Yes however it will melt off the paint
Um that would defeat the purpose of catching the mice. Maybe after she catches them yes, But while, no.
@tinalupescu9094 yeah that's what I mean
You are making memories! Good, bad, sad, funny. That’s what my mom would always say and still says if things don’t go as planned or when something happened that is unexpected. It’s memories! Love you and your family! You should be SO proud.
Yeassss been excited for this all weekend. All will be fine - we love you!
You are handling this so gracefully, and so well. I love seeing you and Joel work together so well together. One day at a time, one room at a time, cleaning one by one, it’s hard, but it’s good. You inspire me. ❤
To not have a full time job to get to Monday morning and you can just stay home and address cleaning the entire home is a blessing.
Bonnie! I love you been watching for so long. This is real life occurrences that happened to most of us if not all. I appreciate your transparency know that this is just a bump in the road.
I love your perspective. It's not always and what you've got, but who you've got. ❤️
Oh Bonnie, I wish I lived close and could help you! You’re such an amazing woman and mother. Don’t let this get you down. ❤
Bonnie your house is STUNNING 😊
Oh Bonnie, how I wish I could have your strength and patience with life. Thank you for sharing your life with all of you, all the ups and downs🤍
Thank you for the update. This has been living rent free in my head.
I’m in complete awe of your home and views. So so beautiful. You get those mice and enjoy that gorgeous home your hubby built. This too shall pass! ❤️
Good job guys. Your home is stunning. Good luck getting the rest of the critters
Bonnie I am sorry that you are having to deal with this situation. I am sending you a big virtual hug ❤
Bonnie, you and Joel make such an inspiring team - especially when the times are less than favorable like this. Wishing you all loads of hope, strength, and happiness to come. This too shall pass. Lots of love as well! ❤
Bonnie and Joel, you have put your time and energy into your family. Look at your beautiful success! ❤️
You put time into your family which was the most important. The mouse problem can be fixed. I’m sorry you’re going thru more bad luck. You’re an amazing family, please keep your head up, you got this!!💜💜
Stale Peeps are the BEST!
I know it's such a terrible feeling but you'll feel so clean and accomplished when your done.❤
Awwwww so glad to hear they weren’t in there very long….now that would have been no fun at all!!! So proud of y’all for staying as positive as you can be. Praying you find them all asap 🙏🏻❤️
So satisfying watching you clean. It looks so good once it’s done. Love that laundry room ❤
Can we all just see how stunning and elegant and beautiful this house is 👏👏👏👏
Awe!! Thank you so much!
One reason I think the mice have been there longer than you may think is the piano books being chewed up. I hope I'm wrong. Keep your spirits up. This too shall pass.
I envy your laundry room so much. It's beautiful and practical.
I envy her whole house! Her master bathroom is bigger than my living room here in UK, where houses a notoriously small 😆
That bathroom is beyond stunning!!!!
Also check the stitching on your couch and chairs to make sure they didn’t get into your couches
Bonnie, I said the same thing! I saw your bathroom and was admiring that and not paying attention to the mouse traps! Lolol love the sneak peak 😊
You're both 100% right, those old looking traps are the best! They have caught more mice in our house than the new "fancy" ones. We had such a problem last year and we just couldn't catch them no matter what we did but it happened eventually. Would love to hear how many you caught all up over the week!
Bright side, mice are easier to get rid of then roaches.
I am so proud of both of you! You are doing an amazing job and its encouraging so many that we can get through our own tough times too.
I wouldn’t even know what to do. It would be a sit, cry and call my mom situation. I admire your positive attitude.
If I didn’t have Joel the mice would have taken me to the grave in my sleep.
Hello I’m from Singapore and really love watching your family so close and loving ❤ .. every thing will be ok 🙏🏻
I know you don’t want to hear this but make sure to check the INSIDE of your couch as I’ve had this same issue and that was their nesting spot :(
I would pass away!
You should go to a pet store and look at mice and see that their not as scary as you think … It might make cleaning and seeing them occasionally less scary
That's a great idea. I work w/ mice and rats at work and I'm definitely less scared when I see a wild rodent. It's still scary, though because they can possibly crawl on you. I think the scariest part is the possible diseases they can carry.
@@XoXoXoSteph I would venture to guess they are healthy field mice in that area
I love this family ❤❤❤❤❤
Good on you team- doing an amazing job tackling this problem head on together, as always 👏👏👏. I’m so sorry you’re dealing with this. 🕊💗
Just want to say I love you Bonnie! I want to reach through the screen and hug you, I am a mom of four too and I can’t imagine coming home to that. How disappointing and defeating but man, you and Joel handled it beautifully and your kids are learning so much from the grace you give each other and support you offer. It will all be ok! And I would love to see you out somewhere I would be not be able to help myself but to say hey and hug your neck! Your a beautiful person! You are loved sweet Bonnie!
Love you all so much and take care
I've been following you guys for years and appreciate your posts. I would be totally freaked out, as you are, if this had happened to my home.....especially my BRAND NEW home. You're both doing a great job of taking care of this issue, hopefully after a very short time, there will be no further problems. That said, following your trip to South Florida made me wonder if full time RVing was in your future. The only issue was your new home. You just seemed to enjoy it so much and Bonnie, you seemed SO relaxed. Loved watching your trip and hope for more.
When you said “I swear I’m burning the house down” I literally cackled! We live next to a wheat field and this past summer when I was heavily pregnant, I smelled something foul in our kitchen. I tore the whole thing apart and cleaned it until I got to the last cabinet and lo and behold there was a dead mouse in the very back of the cabinet. I screamed so loud my husband heard me outside, peed my pants running away, and told my husband I’m burning the house down🔥. It’s funny now but at the time it was so traumatic. I feel your pain Bonnie and I’m so so sorry that you’re going through this. Hugs! 💕
Hang in there Bonnie...Everything will be ok.
Your home is amazing !
Bonnie
Where are your wooden end tables from beside your couch
Thanks!
❤ I am sure a million people have already said this..... put some snap traps in your camper ASAP! Those little creeps will move in there in a heartbeat. Also, put up some little tiny signs that inform the little critters that snap traps are in use. It's the humane thing to do. LOL!!! Go get 'em. They belong OUTSIDE! Love you guys.
We lined the outside and inside of the camper, sprayed it, and we have caught SO MANY on the outside, none on the inside. We bought a cat house and stuck it next to our RV and are getting cats!!
@bonniehoellein that's the best news! The cats will keep them from getting in the house again too! Hugs and love from Wilsonville Oregon
@@bonniehoellein i commented on the last vlog about how good barn owls are for the mice population. I dont know how you get a barn owl but i think if you had one you would be set.
Make sure you get real farmcats that know how to hunt! I live in the Netherlands, and we can pick up unwanted farmcats from the animalshelter for free. The cats are not able to settle indoors, and because of that, there is no fee. Maybe the shelters in your area have something similar!
You should also get cats for being indoor house cats too that way you have cats for both indoor and outdoor
Loved the vlog
If I ever bumped into you, I'd love to say "hello" and converse with you. 🤗
Bonnie, I'd cry too if I came back to that beautiful home and found what you guy's found. Guess what though, you and Joel did what you had to do to take care of it and that showed strength. God bless!! 💕
Did packages come or boxes get delivered with the mice in them from a warehouse!
You two are freakin rock stars!❤️❤️ such an amazing ream! Such a shitty😉 welcome home. Brighter days ahead ❤️
Happy Mothers Day Bonnie
don't hate the house ....you built a beautiful house , and Joel solve the access issue.....and you house will be as clean as humanly possible....as for worrying about people not coming up to you , maybe they are just giving you some space , with everything that happened they feel like you may want a little space....how on earth could anyone not like you or not want to give you the biggest , most comforting hug possible....we all know what wonderful , loving parents you and Joel are
Bonnie, I just bought a 'Eye Vac Pro" on amazon. Its a power machine that is knee high...and when you sweep the floor the Eye Vac turns on and sucks all the debris. Its has a sensor, so when you sweep the debris towards the Eye vac it turns on and sucks it all in. I LOVE IT.
I’ve also found best use with the rat sized sticky traps!
Great teamwork..ye will get it sorted..ye have a beautiful home..some people can be cruel but there is alot of kid people also thank god ❤❤
So sorry you came home to all this. It will get better again!
Love you Bonnie
What an incredibly gorgeous home you have- the mice have good taste! Also, you are a great team working together to resolve this- you are a great example of how a healthy marriage works, through the good times and bad!
Once this is all said and done, in years to come you will laugh at this predicament. You and Joel are rockstars for handling this so well!
You got it Bonnie ❤
Bonnie and Joel I know you’re dealing with the mouse situation but the house view 😘
Where did you get your couches
Not gonna lie… I’d totally watch you guys clean the whole house. You two have always been such a great team. 🫶🏻
Your house is so beautiful
Thank god you have your trailer
I have been where you are. I feel you...
@18:40 cut open the bottom of the couches to remove any feces being held in by the cloth.
Hi Bonnie❤ I love your channel!! But havent had the chance to watch in quite a while. Thanks for sharing your life with us! Also I would give you the biggest hug if I ever met you!! sometimes it feels like you are my old friend I catch up with once in a while!!
BONNIE . PLEASE READ. I feel you. I went thru the same exact thing in January. It's so horrible. Get the electric Rodent high frequency plug ins at Home Depot. They really work and we haven't seen any evidence of rodents since we started using them! They are so disgusting. Ours were because of an idiot contractor who didn't close up holes under our house during our remodel and we were invaded by hundreds! (By the gifts they left us! Yuk!!!!) Good Luck!
We live in a rural area and we use a pest service quarterly, otherwise they can really take over. Our house is pretty tight, but you can't really prevent them from getting in, but you can control the problem. Good luck!
Bonnie i am so heartbroken for you guys and this problem and was completely distraught thinking that you have not lived in the house for more than 2 months and are already thinking of moving ... i was soooo looking forward to watching you live in that house and enjoy that view ... i wish you guys nothing but the best
Can you tell us what kind of vacuum that is please? Thanks
Bonnie, my house backs up to a 500 acre field that has various wheat/crops, I use a electric zapper in my garage. I bait it with pb/choc chips. I also tried the snap traps inside closets. My house is just 3600sq ft but it was overwhelming. Major major hugs 💞
Chocolate with a sunflower in it!! Believe me, once I started using it. I caught quite a few!
Never watched your channel before. You are really funny and relatable
Thank you! 😅
So how did they get in? Any tips on preventing this?
We live on a farm and mice in the house happen because of the strawbales. Mouse traps did not work well we use those big roll fly stickers. Worked really well.
I feel bad that this is the first home tour I'm seeing of your beautiful home! Praying this resolves quickly and that your family can be able to enter a season of rest!
I think it is so brave of you to say that you don't need thar big fancy house you have worked so hard for. All we need at the end of the day is our family. ❤
Bait boxes where they can’t get out, are the best! We had one with 30 mice in it!
we had this problem one time i used peppermint oil everywhere after i cleaned and they hate that and will not come back in
Your house is so beautiful!! 😍 Can’t wait for a house tour video, hopefully after you get this mice situation under control 🙏🏼 I think cats will be really helpful. I love your rugs, btw. Do you have them linked anywhere?
I am so sorry you guys. I can only imagine coming home to your brand new beautiful house to have it infiltrated by mice, but I admire you guys for having such a positive attitude and just getting to it day one cleaning it little by little… I could watch you guys in amazing adventures in Florida or picking up mouse poop but no matter what you’re doing. I love watching your family lol and, just keep your heads up and it will get better, love you guys!❤
Great vlog today you guys I love all of you guys so much and I hope that you are all having a wonderful day today ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
You are not alone we had a mouse last week but I love you all
I hope and pray the mice will be totally gone soon. What a welcome home but at least the house will get a good spring cleaning! I so miss your mom and dad but totally understand the reasoning behind it. Y’all take care! Debbie from NC.
Bonnie, mice are very inteligent. Did you check your appliances ' engines? Once, a rat made a nest inside my fridge' s engine.....there were 12 little mice in there. And they only come out during the night, in the silence. They spend all day hiding. Love from Portugal!
Don’t worry Bonnie ❤️! The home I grew up in was in the country side, surrounded by open fields and not a lot of other homes. If a door was left the smallest bit open for even a second we were sure to have a mouse ! Or the smallest crack in a wall/door we would have more, I think one winter we must have caught 12 in a much smaller size home than yours until we found how they were getting in !! So scary and feels so invasive but you’re not alone and hopefully all those pesky mice will be out of your beautiful home soon ❤ You are doing everything that can be done. Praying you feel peace during this time, even though you might feel it is a small issue and there are bigger things to worry about it is 100% valid to feel this way and anyone who has put so much time and effort into creating a home would understand and feel the same way !
