Your mental health comes first and if this isn't for you (family) at least now you know and do not have to wonder. Life is too short for regrets and as long as you and your family are happy and healthy you will make a home wherever you are all together. I can't wait to tag along those adventures 😊

ya my right side is trashed. I live in constant pain everyday . There is no reason so far. I’ve had head neck and back mri. I have swelling and bulging disks. A twist in my lower L2 . Next is abdominal mri to figure out the pain. I’m hoping sadly it’s nothing scary and just scar tissue from my gallbladder remove I had done while pregnant w piper. All the lifting and lugging triggered it. The joys of pushing yourself till you can’t hardly walk🫣🤦🏼♀️
Life is not traditional anymore. I’m 63 I plan to get an RV and travel. The country. Life is short we should do what we want to make ourselves. Happy. God bless you I will be following through your travels.❤❤
I was so looking forward to watching you expand your homestead. However. If it's not working? Then it's not working. We're only here once. If you wanna travel, travel! We'll all be here cheering you on! 🎉xxx
Hey Mama!!! I love that your going to all these places for your kids, yourselves and your marriage. You have spent so long trying to get the places up and that’s a lot of pressure but you put in a good fight. And a good fighter knows when to stop. I love it!!! I can’t wait to watch your journey!!
Hi Tammy. I’m happy if you’re happy. I know your kids are tired. It’s been non stop since you moved there. Your kids want something stable and I’m sure they want to be able to have friends again. I wish you all the luck and I hope you continue to blog. I will be waiting for your videos. ❤❤❤
Yes that’s another thing. I don’t like to be this far from ppl. And I need my kids to be around others more. Why? I don’t think it’s good to be so alone. We do go to town a lot. Like to much. But this life is not for us. Nope. 🙂↔️
@@leavingfingerprints I just want Freya to continue to get the benefits out there so she can learn and do more. She can receive all types of speech and occupational therapy. She is really smart thanks to you. You have taught her a lot. I hope you will continue to share your journey. ❤️
@@debragaitan6099 she will not be in speech therapy on the road. She’s learning so fast and quick with her siblings and schooling. You are correct she’s extremely smart and this kind of lifestyle I didn’t think would work for her. I’ll talk more about that in a different blog, but basically stereotypes of down syndrome people are known to have their own ways as well as not liking change. Freya doesn’t care she loves to explore. She loves different areas. She loves to be on the move, I’ll talk more on a different vlog in traveling w special needs children. ❤️
I commend you for all your efforts living off grid is tough. Go travel enjoy your life with your kids while you are still young they will NEVER forget all you have done for them and what you have given them❤️👍🎉
I applaud how much you guys put in to what you built! The people who end up truly happy are the ones who chase their dreams and ambitions and sometimes you find out it wasn’t what you were hoping it would be. That’s how we grow. It’s sad that so many people won’t step out of their bubble and explore the world! I have a lot of respect for you. You are leading by example to your kids! They’re going to be so laid back and happy with life, not things! Good luck on your travels. If you need a free Nanny, swing by Oklahoma and pick me up!🥰
Be proud of everything you guys have done off grid ! You guys have inspired more than you know . to be honest you did in a year what I couldn't do in a week lol . I mean out there living off grid , look sooooo hard ,yet you made it look nice and fun at times . I hope you still keep us all together , you're loved and part of us . 😢
I have enjoyed watching your videos, along with all of the hard work that has been done. But I understand this not working out and moving on. I hope we still get to see videos of the next chapter in the families life.
We were never clean clean. Getting water, food and dragging everything to the property sucked even more so in the winter time. 2 years on the road would be fun! If you are in Oregon hit me up!
You are an inspiration. We are expecting our 13 baby and really want to homestead and watching your videos made me feel like it is doable. I however can not build my own home I know my limits lol. God bless your family and I pray this new chapter is fruitful for you and yours.
Yeah, I could do homesteading in the future but not off grid living nope my kahunas are not that big . I can all mark that off my bucket lift of trying to have a pair. Hahaha
I am not gonna lie after 4 years of off grid living in Oregon with little to no money my ex and I walked from our project you we didn’t get as far as we wanted. It tore us apart as a family in the lifestyle and we honestly did it for different reasons (homelessness) but it was hard and I still think back and miss parts of my nomad life Today I’m living in a tiny town outside of the city we grew up in. Married and happier. I couldn’t trade my little single wide mobile for it now.
Oh!!!😩 we just moved off grid in Wyoming and you have been such an inspiration to me!! I’m sad not going to lie but I understand. Please keep videos coming! I love you guys❤️
You tried it, it did not work out. You and Chris have always, always, put your children first. I admire you and know you and your family will be fine. I look forward to more videos and thank you for taking us along on this exciting new adventure.
I agree with you. I know Tammy and Chris love Utah and their property is beautiful but I knew it would be very difficult turning a desert into what they envisioned. Also, most of these homesteaders on CZcams devote all their time and energy to building. Chris was working a fulltime job plus trying to build their homestead. Tammy was taking care of very young children and trying to help Chris. I'm glad they made the right decision to sell.
Tammy, whatever makes you and your family happy that’s all that matters. The kids will love the memories you have made and will make while traveling. I wish you guys only the best and tons of happiness! 😊
Good luck on this adventure. Wish we could up and travel with our 6 kiddos what a dream. We homeschool as well and been watchin ya for last few years. You guys are awesome.
How exciting...hope you share your Journey. You don't know until you try it, you tried and you did a really good job of it.. I hope you have many great travels.
Tammy you and Chris are hard working.you have to do. What’s best for you and your family and your health.i can’t wait for this next journey with you guys .love you❤
I know were far from you, but you are welcome to come visit Alaska :) We have a few acres you can park while you explore it's beautiful here, we moved here 7 years ago from Oregon. Blessings from Alaska
Myself and my 9 yr old son think you guy a brilliant you tell it how it is . We live in England and would have to experience what you and your beaut family have done ❤️❤️
It’s hard. I really wish I had a support system of woman out here with me: where we could ask work together. If I out live Chris that’s what I want. Other woman in the same spot widowed as a partner ship 😊🌻
Tammy, you and Chris are absolutely amazing parents and people!!!! You guys do what’s best for your beautiful family. So much respect for you both. God bless your new adventure!!!!😘
You re leaving the homestead? Sorry im in my car. Wow. Oh no 😢😢😢😢😢. Im still going to watch your beautiful family. You can be proud of everything you have done.❤❤❤❤ God bless you all.
Your home is where you make it. I have a farm its hard work. I drive in hour in town to work. You will find what makes you happy!! Enjoy life. We oy get one to live!
If you could jump to your final vision you may have liked it, but it’s so much hard work and you’ve worked so hard already. You have given it a fair shot and if your haven’t of tried, you would always wonder. And you have many successes. This itself has been a huge success. This doesn’t mean you didn’t make it, it means it was time to time to do the next thing in life that works for your family. And a traveling homeschool is a fantasy for most and they just don’t take the chance. You are a queen wherever you are.
Tammy I do not blame u for how u and your children doesn't like living like that. Its a rough way of life. I know I wouldn't do it at all. U and Chris will find happiness soon. God bless all of u.😊
Oh my gosh what did I miss?!?! Do what makes you happy. You guys have definitely been living a tough way of life! Enjoy yourselves❤ Are you selling the property?
At least you can look back and say you did it and tried it rather than say you wish you did it. Sending you lots of love and look forward to following your next adventures. What is happening to the land and all the things you have bought and built. ❤❤❤
It's HARD!!!! I've been doing this ALL ALONE for three years! I'm only stuck because I can't afford otherwise. I'm DO JEALOUS you guys can just GO when you decide to!
I think this is a wonderful idea. Everyone will be so much happier. It’s been really hard and unfortunately especially with a large family. So many to consider. Looking forward to y’all’s travel adventures- going somewhere cooler first? 😊
If you and your family are not happy do exactly what your doing take to the roads see your country enjoy been together and by the tine your half ways around it you will know exactly what you want I’m here if you need a chat❤❤
I hope you continue with your videos . Look forward to your journey and all the places you will go and see. Do what is in your heart and soul. Your mental health is important and with the way the country is we all need to have some sanity in order to survive . Keep your head up high and take each day as it comes.
I am so proud of all of the accomplishments that you guys have made together as a family! Yall moved from the city to off grid and did amazing things! Its ok to make the change. You are listening to your gut and your children. Your health comes first, both mental and physical. I think it will be so fun to travel and explore before settling down. You guys know whats best for you and your family and at the end of the day, thats all that matters! Get out there, explore and make memories together!! 🇺🇲🙏♥️🤍💙🙏🇺🇲
Do what you feel is right for you and your family. Sometimes we try something, it doesn’t work and that’s okay. It’s not worth your marriage or your mental health.
@@leavingfingerprints can't wait to see more of you and your family's journey 💞 regardless of where you are living. You are really relatable, down to earth, and seem to share a lot of the same views as I do. Much love 🫶
I am sure you do not want the comments, but I commend you and your family for all you have done and sticking it out that far. I knoe that lifestyle is very rewarding in thw end because you see what you have buildt with your hands but I also know that it is very difficult and ALOT of work on top of the daily responsibilities you both have with raising your family and Chris having a job. So kuddos to you all and God bless you on your families journey may he keep you and guide you and give you HIS perfect peace! Stay blessed❤
Yes. A big prob for us was Chris was the only builder. He also is needing another surgery. This alone has destroyed him physically and mentally doing it alone.
@@leavingfingerprints I understand that 100 it is the same for our family. My husband has done all the manual work on his own, the Lord has sent us a few helpers for him but majority on his own and he is also physicallt and mentally exhauseted so he has not been able to work as much as he should lately. Praying for his health, healing and restoratiom❤️❤️❤️
@@lashawndawalker5611 I understand. I’m sorry. There are other options. If you guys get completely spent out on that kind of lifestyle don’t suffer the short life in pain and misery and exhaustion.❤️
You do what is right for your family, know one else matters Just be happy life is to short to be miserable and in pain just be happy thats all that matters Have a great time on your guys new adventures cant wait to hear about it.
Lola like you and Chris are making the best choice for your family. That is all that matters. Happy trails to lots of wonderful experiences for you and your kids. Look forward to seeing your adventures.
My land is being sold so soon I hope! I wanna link up I'm buying a fifth wheel and a nice truck. I'm just flat broke like literally not even $.50 to my name until the sale goes through.
@@leavingfingerprints I don't need fancy stuff to chase the sun, but I can't purchase anything to move out of my Bus until the land sale goes through then I can buy the RV sell my Bus sell my truck, etc. etc. I'm just stuck until the sale goes through
@@SubliminalLocks ohhh well I’ll give you more information privately. We are selling all our stuff. Because it’s harder to get into some overland spots we are ridding our rv and going more tent travel. I HATE RVs . We have roof top tents and other tents to travel. But ya . We don’t want rv or anything like that
Yeah, forget this crap it’s too hard. I surrender. I mean, if I had to do it I would but we don’t have to do it so I won’t. ❤️ come on OK so ask your husband if it lasted longer than you thought? Lol
Yeah, travel! Do it. You guys tried off grid, and now you know. I couldn't live off grid, so no judgement here. Buying a home with a nice yard will be good for your family.
Good luck. I think you did great, but it seems like such a hard life for just two people to do. I know I couldn’t do what you and your family has done. It’s time for new adventures and I wish you all the best.
Ya I thought we could do it. And if we HAD to. We would make it work. But we don’t. And it’s destroying our marriage and our mental and physical health. It’s hard . I’m tiered. Sore. He’s broken. We will heal now and move to the next adventure
@@leavingfingerprintsBoth of you get rest and just focus on being together with your family and making great memories. I hope you post your adventures when and if you’re up to it. Right now, focus on your marriage and mental health.
I'm so happy that you made this choice because you know what living like this it's a little bit hard mentally and physically I'm glad you made that choice God bless you and your family and have a blessing day fiorella from Toronto 🇨🇦❤
I wish for you and your family the very best and I know that all of you are going to love every place you visit there is some cool places to visit me and my husband took a month long vacation and went to 11 different states yellow stone, Mt Rushmore, mall of America in Minnesota, Nebraska, Iowa, aspen Colorado, Uta, Montana, Noth Dakota, Idaho falls, Nevada this is going to be a life time experience for your children stay safe and have lots of fun❤❤❤❤❤❤😊😊😊😊😊😊
We are traveling all the national parks for school this year. :) following the sun. Like for Xmas we might be in Florida. And with the basics. We are light weight overland style. Feel free to join us ceritsn areas if you want.
@@leavingfingerprints you know I'm going to! That's exactly what I plan on doing. I was also considering 1000 trails membership so that if I felt like relaxing with a pool and a playground I could do that. It's only $700 a year!
@@SubliminalLocks no. You can get a free state parks pass because your son’s disability. You can get into all state national parks for free. Save the 700$ u less you plan on staying in spots long term. We are not. Email me
@@leavingfingerprints we have the free park pass! We're only getting 8000 trails membership for when I want to stay in a pampered way! I've got only Overlanding experience. I've never used RV parks before- I'm gonna let myself have some spoiling. Theee years living like a hobo- IM DONE
That would be good if you took the clothes to school and said three girl clothes I always tell people on my CZcams channel you never know people are hungry and you could be working at the same job that you're working with them and you don't know what their their things are in life and how much they have to pay for things they could have nothing to eat that's why I always say you know you could be the difference that day and somebody eating or not some ramen soup in or a couple sandwiches or giving clothes away like that at the school you can help other families that's what life's about helping people
@@ellensmith9802 definitely not the same! It’s a lot of hard work out here there’s working all day long. :) and I would push them to keep working in building skills out here, except for it’s literally destroying my husband’s health
I’m honestly surprised that you made it as long as you did. I would have been miserable by day 2! But you didn’t know until you tried it, so don’t be discouraged.
Right, I thought if I could make it past year one it would be a breeze but man year two in about killed Chris poor guy he’s trying to build and work and do everything alone.
I feel like i miss something Tammy you are and amazing lady.get out there and do something for you. You are a good mom and wife im sure. I pray Gods blessings on you and your beautiful family Stay strong and be true to yourself ❤
Your mental health comes first and if this isn't for you (family) at least now you know and do not have to wonder. Life is too short for regrets and as long as you and your family are happy and healthy you will make a home wherever you are all together. I can't wait to tag along those adventures 😊

Yes. A big prob for us was Chris was the only builder. He also is needing another surgery. This alone has destroyed him physically and mentally doing it alone.
@@leavingfingerprints I understand that 100 it is the same for our family. My husband has done all the manual work on his own, the Lord has sent us a few helpers for him but majority on his own and he is also physicallt and mentally exhauseted so he has not been able to work as much as he should lately. Praying for his health, healing and restoratiom❤️❤️❤️
@@lashawndawalker5611 I understand. I’m sorry. There are other options. If you guys get completely spent out on that kind of lifestyle don’t suffer the short life in pain and misery and exhaustion.❤️
@@leavingfingerprints ❤️❤️❤️
Do what works for y'all. ❤❤❤
You do what is right for your family, know one else matters Just be happy life is to short to be miserable and in pain just be happy thats all that matters Have a great time on your guys new adventures cant wait to hear about it.
Lola like you and Chris are making the best choice for your family. That is all that matters. Happy trails to lots of wonderful experiences for you and your kids. Look forward to seeing your adventures.
Please continue to make your videos.
Hi thank you for sharing you life with us hope have a great Time on your adventures hope you let us know how your all doing from time to time ❤️💐😊
Well you tried it and you gave it a good try and now you don't ever wonder what it would have been like....onward and upward....
So do you wanna sell your homestead?
My land is being sold so soon I hope! I wanna link up I'm buying a fifth wheel and a nice truck. I'm just flat broke like literally not even $.50 to my name until the sale goes through.
You don’t need all the fancy stuff to overland travel and chase the sun 🌞 email me
@@leavingfingerprints I don't need fancy stuff to chase the sun, but I can't purchase anything to move out of my Bus until the land sale goes through then I can buy the RV sell my Bus sell my truck, etc. etc. I'm just stuck until the sale goes through
@@SubliminalLocks ohhh well I’ll give you more information privately. We are selling all our stuff. Because it’s harder to get into some overland spots we are ridding our rv and going more tent travel. I HATE RVs . We have roof top tents and other tents to travel. But ya . We don’t want rv or anything like that
Sorry I’ve followed you
Hi Tammy!!!it’s been a minute:(-the title has me?!?!)Hope all is ok
You selling the property also?
What a shock. My husband told me you were selling, i didn't believe him so i got online and yes it was true. Best wishes for of grid New Zealand
Yeah, forget this crap it’s too hard. I surrender. I mean, if I had to do it I would but we don’t have to do it so I won’t. ❤️ come on OK so ask your husband if it lasted longer than you thought? Lol
@ClutteredMother we have been at it for five years but our three children have left the nest . The island we live on is all of the grid.
Yeah, travel! Do it. You guys tried off grid, and now you know. I couldn't live off grid, so no judgement here. Buying a home with a nice yard will be good for your family.
Hello,you must do what is best for you,the kids need happy parents❤ love from 🇳🇴Norway
Much love and support to you, Tammy 😊
Thanks so much
You have to do what's best for you and Family. The Kitten is sooooo cute.
All that matters is do what makes you and your family happy.Wishing you a safe and happy 2 years of exploring.
❤❤❤
I wouldn’t be able to do it either girl but at least you guys tried. You never know unless you try, right?
💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗
You look very tired. I dont know how you've done it this long. Hope your travels give you and chris the rest you need.
Good luck. I think you did great, but it seems like such a hard life for just two people to do. I know I couldn’t do what you and your family has done. It’s time for new adventures and I wish you all the best.
Ya I thought we could do it. And if we HAD to. We would make it work. But we don’t. And it’s destroying our marriage and our mental and physical health. It’s hard . I’m tiered. Sore. He’s broken. We will heal now and move to the next adventure
@@leavingfingerprintsBoth of you get rest and just focus on being together with your family and making great memories. I hope you post your adventures when and if you’re up to it. Right now, focus on your marriage and mental health.
I'm so happy that you made this choice because you know what living like this it's a little bit hard mentally and physically I'm glad you made that choice God bless you and your family and have a blessing day fiorella from Toronto 🇨🇦❤
What !?!
I wish for you and your family the very best and I know that all of you are going to love every place you visit there is some cool places to visit me and my husband took a month long vacation and went to 11 different states yellow stone, Mt Rushmore, mall of America in Minnesota, Nebraska, Iowa, aspen Colorado, Uta, Montana, Noth Dakota, Idaho falls, Nevada this is going to be a life time experience for your children stay safe and have lots of fun❤❤❤❤❤❤😊😊😊😊😊😊
Where are you going? I WAS GONNA COME!!! Fill me in!
My cell is disconnected, so I can't do texts 😢
We are traveling all the national parks for school this year. :) following the sun. Like for Xmas we might be in Florida. And with the basics. We are light weight overland style. Feel free to join us ceritsn areas if you want.
@@leavingfingerprints you know I'm going to! That's exactly what I plan on doing. I was also considering 1000 trails membership so that if I felt like relaxing with a pool and a playground I could do that. It's only $700 a year!
@@SubliminalLocks no. You can get a free state parks pass because your son’s disability. You can get into all state national parks for free. Save the 700$ u less you plan on staying in spots long term. We are not. Email me
@@leavingfingerprints we have the free park pass! We're only getting 8000 trails membership for when I want to stay in a pampered way! I've got only Overlanding experience. I've never used RV parks before- I'm gonna let myself have some spoiling. Theee years living like a hobo- IM DONE
@ClutteredMother cool I don't know where in FL. I am in Central Fl. Polk County.
Take all money u spent on tattoos u could buy home
I don’t pay for them. I do trade work.
Tammy, whatever makes you and your family happy that’s all that may
I missed something 😭
You are amazing.
You are!
That would be good if you took the clothes to school and said three girl clothes I always tell people on my CZcams channel you never know people are hungry and you could be working at the same job that you're working with them and you don't know what their their things are in life and how much they have to pay for things they could have nothing to eat that's why I always say you know you could be the difference that day and somebody eating or not some ramen soup in or a couple sandwiches or giving clothes away like that at the school you can help other families that's what life's about helping people
Do what makes u happy
So you’re going to live in the RV and travel?
Nope . Stay tuned to my next boring Vlog.Lol
@@leavingfingerprints not boaring
But if the kids don’t like living that way then camping is the same thing
@@ellensmith9802 definitely not the same! It’s a lot of hard work out here there’s working all day long.
:) and I would push them to keep working in building skills out here, except for it’s literally destroying my husband’s health
I’m honestly surprised that you made it as long as you did. I would have been miserable by day 2! But you didn’t know until you tried it, so don’t be discouraged.
Right, I thought if I could make it past year one it would be a breeze but man year two in about killed Chris poor guy he’s trying to build and work and do everything alone.
If u took all money.otatoo s n
I feel like i miss something Tammy you are and amazing lady.get out there and do something for you. You are a good mom and wife im sure. I pray Gods blessings on you and your beautiful family Stay strong and be true to yourself ❤
I am so happy for you
