We are so proud of how far we've come with this (mostly) DIY project and couldn't be happier to be raising a beautiful new baby out here in the woods. Is there honestly anything better than being in nature, getting your toes in the dirt and swimming in Canadian fresh water lakes? The only dilemma is that this cabin is barely big enough for the the 3 of us.... let alone the many guests and additional family members that we like to host as well. Join us this week as we turn our empty loft space into a beautiful guest bedroom. We think it's so cozy and inviting that we might even move up there!!#cabininthewoods #roomrenovation #loftdesign

It took us nearly a year to turn a run down 1970s cabin into our dream home and oasis in the woods. Slowly we've been chipping away at exterior projects like this one. Over the course of 1 year we transformed unusable, rocky ground into a grassy area we know our kids will love playing games on in the future!

The plan was to van life around the world and we'd made it all the way from Canada to Africa. Fast forward to COVID...us abandoning our van in a Moroccan parking lot, flying home to Canada, converting yet another van, and then moving to our cabin in the woods.We've always envisioned moving into the woods by the lake and building our dream tiny cabin as a home base for us to come back to in between our international van life travels. With our sights set on returning to Morocco (after this hard year of cancer treatment), we thought it was time we dust off our van life skills. So, we squeeze 4 people into our sprinter van conversion for 48 hours!

I had radiation for breast cancer Eamon & Bec 2022-09-18 | A portion of this video was sponsored by Capital One Shopping. Avoid Paying Full Price. Get Capital One Shopping for FREE capitaloneshopping.com/eamonbecOn December 21, 2021, I was diagnosed with stage 3 breast cancer after months of appointments, biopsies, and misinformation. In January of 2022, I began my treatment plan which consisted of 1 full round of IVF to preserve our fertility, 8 rounds of intensive chemotherapy, another partial mastectomy (breast surgery), and finally 20 rounds of radiation. Today I am sharing a behind-the-scenes look at 1 full month of radiation, the side effects of the treatment, and a little celebration that this marks the end of a very long year of treatment. The online world comes with many beautiful perks but the constant highlight reels of Instagram and social media can often make us feel isolated. Like we're not doing enough. Like we don't have enough. That we aren't enough. And while I love sharing the amazing places we've traveled and never miss a chance to capture a sunset I want my voice here to be more impactful. We are all enough. We are everything we could ever need. We can find beauty in the midst of turmoil, despair, and chaos. Thank you for making this a safe space for me to share such personal videos with no filters. We love you. We can hardly believe that we are on the other side of this journey. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for all the love and support you have sent our way this year. 0:00 breast cancer recap1:44 radiation planning (+ my resistance) 4:36 treatment 1 of 206:07 squad @MaxandOccy @KirstenNielsenYoga 7:13 tenderness + fatigue update8:30 @KaraandNate come to radiation9:28 halfway mark!!12:34 my first saline soak13:50 I'm over this 😔 15:26 chemo vs. radiation16:51 help me figure out a hairstyle 😜 19:30 I'm so tired20:04 burn update (treatment 19)21:25 LAST DAY!!!!25:43 RING THAT BELL 🔔 #breastcancer #breastcancerawareness

Back when we first met with our oncologist, 16 weeks of chemotherapy sounded like a mountain I wasn't sure I was strong enough to climb.

Day in the Life of a Cancer Patient Eamon & Bec 2022-04-24 | We are more than halfway through chemotherapy for breast cancer and wanted to share a life update! Welcome to a day in the life of a cancer patient at home ❤️🩹 Thank you to BetterHelp for sponsoring this video. Get 10% off your first month betterhelp.com/eamonandbecOn December 21, 2021 I was diagnosed with breast cancer. We embarked on a journey of healing beginning with 8 rounds of chemotherapy. Before chemo began I was terrified of losing my hair, of feeling weak and of becoming really sickly looking but I was determined to remain positive about how the treatment would affect me. Today we are sharing what a typical day looks like for us at home while living with cancer and the harsh effects of chemotherapy treatment. Our life at our cabin in the woods certainly looks different now than it did a year ago (think more napping, less building stuff 😜 ) but I hope anyone going through something similar may find a bit of hope in this episode. Maybe you feel a little less alone. Maybe you learn a new food trick. Or maybe you just take this as your reminder to go easy on yourself. Sending you all so much love and gratitude. Your messages, comments and prayers are felt by us both and we appreciate them all so much.0:00 Welcome to life with cancer!0:38 Best part of the day 🐶 1:50 One week post-chemo3:05 Update on chemo treatments4:24 EXCITING NEWS!!5:19 Morning movement 💪 🧘♀️ 8:34 How I really feel being bald9:20 What we're eating 10:04 Food changes with chemo10:50 Thank goodness for therapy 🙏 12:26 Oso's first One Wheel 14:20 Eamon's emotional update17:00 Easy chickpea quesadilla recipe17:40 I saw a naturopath19:58 Q+A from Instagram!24:20 Night time routine25:05 Missing Lee everyday26:51 Dinner 😋

I Lost All My Hair to Chemotherapy Eamon & Bec 2022-03-06 | On Dec 21, 2021 I was diagnosed with breast cancer & began chemotherapy. This is my hair loss journey (from 20 inches long to fully bald). Click here https://cen.yt/functioneamonbec6 and subscribe to get 20% off your first custom 16oz set + free shipping!The hardest words I've heard lately have been "you have breast cancer" but this was followed closely by "you will lose your hair." For as long as I can remember I have had long, healthy hair, and as I learned on this hair loss journey... this was a big part of my identity. But what scared me more about losing all my hair to chemotherapy was that once I was bald I would be easily identified as a cancer patient. Knowing that anyone could quickly see what I was going through and feel 'sorry for me' or 'sad for me' scared me even more. This story begins with cutting 16 inches off my hair to hopefully make a wig from my own hair. I then share a beautiful wig we've gotten to help me through those moments where I just want to feel a little 'normal' again. And last I share the troubling moments of hair shedding to the moment when we decide to shave my head.

My First Week of Chemotherapy (breast cancer) Eamon & Bec 2022-02-20 | On December 21, 2021, I was diagnosed with stage 3 breast cancer. My treatment plan begins with 8 rounds of chemo. This is my first week of treatment. To get a 1 year supply of Vitamin D + 5 individual travel packs FREE with your first purchase, go to athleticgreens.com/eamonandbecAfter receiving my diagnosis, my team of doctors devised a treatment plan that will give me the best chances of beating breast cancer at 31 years old. It all begins with 8 rounds of chemotherapy. I will receive bi-weekly infusions which (if all goes according to plan) will bring us into May of 2022. Our hope is that the chemotherapy will attack all of the cancer cells that remain in my right breast and kill any little cancerous cells that may have metastasized throughout my body. Unfortunately, there is no real way to detect how well my body is responding to the treatment as I go through it but I will continue to meditate and focus my energy on healing. I want to take a second to thank you all again for being on this journey with us. We can genuinely feel the love we are receiving worldwide and know that it is a crucial part of our healing.

Breast Cancer & Infertility (full IVF treatment) Eamon & Bec 2022-02-06 | I have breast cancer and chemotherapy & other treatments may leave me infertile so we opted to first undergo fertility preservation via IVF. This is our fertility story. Thank you to Betterhelp for sponsoring this video. Get 10% off your first month betterhelp.com/eamonandbecOn December 21, 2021, I was diagnosed with stage 3 breast cancer at 31 years old. To add to the news my doctor said that chemotherapy and other hormonal treatments have a high chance of sending me into early menopause and therefore lessen our chances of conceiving naturally. We haven't talked too much about our child plan with all of you but having kids has always been something we have wanted. So, my team of doctors gave us the option to undergo 1 round of IVF to hopefully freeze embryos to implant in the future (once I am cancer free) & preserve our chances of bringing a biological baby into this world. We are grateful for this chance. While undergoing treatment we realized just how many couples are also going through this journey for a variety of reasons. We hope that watching us go from confused, afraid and overwhelmed to learning how to take the daily injections all the way to a successful egg retrieval and embryo freezing may make you feel a little less alone ❤️❤️❤️.
I have breast cancer Eamon & Bec 2022-01-23 | On December 21, 2021, I was diagnosed with stage 3 breast cancer after months of appointments, biopsies, and misinformation. Today I am sharing my story in the hopes that I may help that one person out there who is navigating a challenging time and feels alone. The online world comes with many beautiful perks but the constant highlight reels of Instagram and social media can often make us feel isolated. Like we're not doing enough. Like we don't have enough. That we aren't enough. And while I love sharing the amazing places we've traveled and never miss a chance to capture a sunset I want my voice here to be more impactful. We are all enough. We are everything we could ever need. We can find beauty in the midst of turmoil, despair, and chaos. And I want to learn how to do this with all of you. Thank you for making this a safe space for me to share such news in an open conversation, with no filters. We love you. We will get through this and look forward to the many teachings and blessings we will discover throughout this journey xx
