BRITNEY (34) i JD (37) imaju sedmero djece i trenutačno su na, kako oni kažu, "američkom obiteljskom izletu". U preuređenom autobusu već četiri godine putuju SAD-om. Najstarije dijete ima 11 godina, a najmlađe samo četiri mjeseca.
Detalje svog putovanja objavljuju po TikToku, gdje su najaktivniji, ali i po drugim društvenim mrežama. Pokazali su unutrašnjost autobusa, a ljudi su, kažu, najviše iznenađeni kada vide gdje im je smješten bračni krevet.
@jdandbritney While we were thinking about building the bus we realized a space dedicated to the master bedroom would be a waste for our lifestyle. JD and I tend to be early to rise, and our goals was to make everything as functional as possible without sacrificing anything. (Plus if we do feel lazy it helps to get us going.) When designing the bus we knew we didn’t need a master bedroom to lounge around in, but the kids sure love to hangout in theirs. The two U-shaped bunks were originally planned to be built into private spaces similar to tour buses, but the kids prefer them open for now. When they were little bedtime was easily set for the same time for everyone. As the've gotten older Gunner and Kinsey have Paperwhite Kindles with the unlimited plan allowing them the opportunity to stay up and read later than their siblings. We also rotate through the top 4 oldest for staying up late with Mom and Dad "past bedtime." It's kids pick if we play a board game, watch a movie, or work on a puzzle together. With our unconventional lifestyle, weeks straight of hiking National Parks, new museums & cities, and our larger crew thankfully falling asleep isn’t really a problem we have. Occasionally JD has late calls for work (monetary consulting) and the living room couch space left open allows us different bedtimes. Similarly the open kitchen area provides room for starting coffee in the morning, or the occasional late night pregnancy craving. 😉 One last thing… I really appreciate having the bathroom space separating our “master” from the bunkhouse. It gives more of a privacy space to sleeping even in this smaller square footage. Once you have seen how we make this work, could you live without a dedicated master bedroom? #rvlife #rv #bedtime #family #homesweethome #buslife #skoolie #vanlife #tinyhouse #minimalist #minimalism #housetour #bustour #skoolienation ♬ original sound - AmericanFamilyRoadTrip
"Kada uđete u našu dnevnu sobu, vidjet ćete da imamo dva duga kauča sa šest pričvršćenih sigurnosnih pojaseva. To je posebno dobar prostor za zajedničke filmske večeri. Naš krevet se spušta sa stropa", objasnili su.
@jdandbritney We built a bus house for our family 5 years ago!! Check it out, and tell me if you built a bus would you want a drop down bed? Check back to see how we all sleep in this bus! #skoolie #rvlife #rvliving #vanlife #vanlifetravel #conversion #tiktokmom #tiktoktravel #travelmom #bigfamily ♬ Sunny Day - Ted Fresco
"Dok smo razmišljali o uređenju autobusa, shvatili smo da bi prostor posvećen glavnoj spavaćoj sobi bio gubitak za naš stil života. JD i ja obično rano ustajemo i cilj nam je bio napraviti maksimalno funkcionalan prostor bez žrtvovanja bilo čega", dodaje Britney.
@jdandbritney How do we feed all these people?? One home-cooked meal at a time. 😉 Part 2, y’all asked… we answer- How do we prepare food?! Like & follow along, I’m posting part 3 soon. What else do you want to see in the bus?? #tiktokmom #familythings #baby #bustour #myhome #homemade #onlyontiktok #largefamily #travellife #traveltiktok #letseat #momsoftiktok #lunchtime #kitchenhacks #familystyle ♬ Sunny Day - Ted Fresco
Njezina djeca obožavaju čitati, kaže, a zajedno kao obitelj vole pješačiti.
"S našim nekonvencionalnim stilom života, tjednima pješačenja nacionalnim parkovima, novim muzejima i gradovima, i našom sve većom ekipom, srećom, zaspati nam nije problem. Povremeno JD ima kasne pozive vezane za posao", kaže Britney.
@jdandbritney #question from @jdandbritney With 7 children we have a lot of laundry! Washer/Dryer combo unit is my favorite mom hack… it does it all. 🙌 Also- a peek into the bathroom. 😉 Hope you enjoy part 3, make sure to check out the other videos… tell us, What would you do differently in this space?? #tiktokmom #bigfamily #home #myhome #homesweethome #mom#momtherhood #hoodmomsbelike #bigfamily #laundryroom #rvlife #buslifestyle #lifestyleblogger ♬ Sunny Day - Ted Fresco
