Being Bethunes
США
Добавлен 24 окт 2012
We’re the Bethune’s and we are so glad you’re here! We are nomads, living full time in our vintage bus.
In August of 2019, As Jenn and Kyle stood in front of their freshly remodeled dreamhouse in Florida, unpacking their camper from a summer trip, Kyle looked at Jenn and said, “let’s sell it all, buy a vintage bus and go travel the country”. They had only discussed a full-time nomadic lifestyle in the past. Jenn thought he might be crazy. And with no crystal ball that Covid would soon arrive, the Bethunes were ready to hit the road in a 1983 vintage Silver Eagle bus that they affectionately named, Blue Betty. Due to the restrictions that a pandemic dole out in February 2020, the family parked Blue Betty on Kyle’s parents property, listed their house in Valrico and began a ‘practice’ run with full time bus life. They learned to live in a bus and immediately appreciated the quality time spent together. They are now entering their 4th years as full-time nomads.

You can hear “ moooommmm” in the background
I will no longer comment on post ... 😢😢😢
I guess someone didn't like comment about my mom n deleted it ?? 😕
Oh no Tammy! I haven’t seen a comment about your Mom 😔 I haven’t been looking at comments in the main section because we had a video made about us and it was really negative and terrible. People are coming over commenting really mean things on older short videos of ours. I put super strict key words in the backend of our RUclips so some comments don’t appear if they have those words in them. That’s the only thing I would think it could be. Please don’t stop commenting, your comments always brighten my day!!
Molly, when you wash your hair put hair glaze on it then braid. When it dries take it down and it will be curly and the glaze will keep it curly. Also, get boxer shorts, boys, like a cotton pattern that looks like sleep shorts. I wear my husband’s because he doesn’t like them. Thin, comfortable, fun.
Let me know if you need me to take care of your place while you’re gone…I’m next door… you guys have a safe trip
David had to stop drinking those flavored waters because of headaches too!
Yes, where is Ben going?
Jenn, your hair looks Marvelous! Happy travels framily 😊
Road Trip!!! Can't wait to travel along on your adventure. Safe travels, Bethune's! -Burt in NJ
You all are the best and give us such good, interesting content!! Beautiful family ❤
Glad you were able to upload a video. Hope you're enjoying the U.P. once again.
3:18 Molly is the sweetest soul. Such a great kiddo. Great job organizing those cabinets, too! Safe Travels y'all!
Great video guys!! Molly is such a big helper!! Have a wonder safe trip!! Gonna miss Ben tho 😞 Where will he be staying?
Dang I missed yall like crazy!! I'm so happy to see yall are ok. Hope yall have a great and stressless time. I'm loving seeing Molly so much! She is such a sweet girl. Love yall!!
We missed you so much and glad to be back!! This van trip, we have been doing well at finding balance with our mental health, it just hasn’t left much time for editing the videos or being on social media. I appreciate you loving us through it all!!
@Beingbethunes I love this for yall. I absolutely understand the mental health. It is something I fight for everyday. I'm so happy yall are finding your balance. We will be here for yall when you come back. Your mental health is most important.
Hello Bethune family! So good to see you guys. I hope you are all doing well and enjoying your travels!
It’s so great to see you Stacy!!! I hope you’re doing awesome!!!
Gonna need a lot of bush hogging done when you get back. I pray you have a safe and fun trip.
We sure are Kathy! Kyle will for sure be busy!
So gusto see you guys! Missed you! Looks like you are having fun packing lol! Molly is doing a great job of packing. We get the egg bites too at Costco. I can eat those with my diabetes. Finding out it’s hard to eat right. I’ve been getting shaky this week if I don’t eat. A friend told me to drink orange juice. So I’ve been doing that. Glad you’ll be getting water and you’ll have it when you get home. Jenn I love your hair! You always do a great job with your hair. I want you all to have a great time in my home state. Sade travels. See you soon! Love you!
Hey Sherri!! It’s so good to see you! I have missed you so much! The van has been a handful and we are managing it really well! Eating healthy can be really tricky at first, you are so smart I know you’ll have it down in no time! Orange juice, I’ve heard too, is great to drink for that! I am so excited for you to see the adventures we have been having in the van coming up in the next vlogs! We sure have been bringing you to some fun 😍 Love you so much Sherri!
Love you guys too! ❤
Have a great trip, where is Ben staying?
Thank you!! He is staying with grandparents for a few weeks while we are in the van. It’s been really good to connect with the younger two while he is having some much needed quality time with Mimi and Pawpaw
Safe travels and see y’all on the next one.
Thank you Kathy!!
I’m happy to see you post, not going to lie I’ve come to your page everyday to see if a new video has dropped!
Awwww!!!!! We have had our hands full in the van. We did film a lot, we just haven’t had the extra time to edit. Honestly though, because we have been being kind with ourselves and not pushing to get things out, we’ve been able to stay pretty balanced 😍
@@Beingbethunes Glad to hear your taking time to just be present in the moment and not feel pushed to upload I know how important that is for you Jenn , and for everyone because rushing and pushing never gets us anywhere but stressed. And that is not good for our mental health or peace.
@@Beingbethunes I bet you have! 3 weeks in a van with all the crew is impressive . I am glad you guys are doing well and taking the time you need!
Love it ❤
We missed you- travel safe! I could never drive that much- my hat is off to you!!!!!!
We’ve missed you right back!!! It’s been a lot to manage. We have been doing great, the managing just didn’t leave much time for editing. I’m so grateful for your love and understanding!!!
The last week of Aug we are planning to go maybe we could cross paths!
Ahhhh!!! We will just be missing each other 😭😭😭😭
Love your hair!!!
Thank you!! I am really loving this electric peach situation I’ve got going on here 😍
So happy to see a video from the Bethune family today. I've missed you guys. Looks like you all are having a blast getting ready for your trip. Hope you're having a great time. Love ya's!!❤🤍💙
We have missed you too Cheryl! It’s always a wild time in the van and we have been doing great managing our mental health. Staying grounded means editing videos weren’t able to happen and you have no idea how much we appreciate you and your love!!!!
Have a great trip. Can't wait to see it! ❤❤

I been waiting!!! But been catching up on old videos!!
Awwwww yay!!!!!!! 🥰🥰🥰🥰
Jen, I haven't dyed my hair in 40 years and you're starting to convince me I should at 60. lol Folks compliment my long grey hair alot. I grew up hanging around my grandma's salon and was often a model for her hair cuts. Some school days were hard bc of the new hair doos I'd show up with. lol I'm the opposite of you where I stay away from alot of salon and beauty products bc I was innodated with it. Your hair looks great!!! Kyles hair looks great too. Molly is precious vlogging. Have fun and safe travels on your next journey. ❤
I bet your hair looks absolutely fabulous no matter what style or cut it is! I looooove grey hair, I think natural beauty is its own amazing stunningness!
@Beingbethunes Awe thank you for the kind words. It means the world to me coming from you.
Have a safe and fabulous trip!! ❤️
Thank you!
Hey ya'll❤
