This is the reality of setting up a home.

(baby cries)

(Hannah gasp) (objects clattering)

Was this a crazy decision to do while

heavily, heavily pregnant?

Yeah. (paper rustling)

- Whoa.

- It is a magical house.

(joyful music)

- Hi, I'm Hannah.

I'm The World's OK-est Mom and we just did

the most wild thing we've ever done in our entire lives.

We just bought a house sight unseen,

clear across the country,

in the Catskill Mountains of New York.

Now Matt and I have about two weeks to completely renovate

and fix this house up

before I am physically not able to fly anymore.

So we're gonna get started on doing that and

see if we can turn this house around

'cause it's a bit of a fixer.

So wish me luck.

Never done anything like this before.

Flying to New York

for all of us as a family is very expensive

and so we had to make the decision to

wait to go until

after we had already (faint explosion roaring)

found the house.

It was still really stressful not being there in person.

(paper rustles)

I am about to get on an airplane alone,

very pregnant with all of my children.

I'm very nervous.

We took a red eye so I think that helped.

The flight was pretty painless

and honestly my number one tip for parents out there

if you're flying with your kids, bring a bunch of lollipops.

Just each one will buy you 30 minutes of quiet.

We made it.

How was the flight guys?

- Good.

So we land,

Matt picks us up

and this is my first time seeing the Catskills,

let alone this house.

So we're on our way to the house.

We're gonna see it for the first time.

- [Matt] One, two, (suspenseful fairytale music)

Three, turn around.

- Whoa! (Hannah laughing)

- [Hannah] Oh my gosh.

It's just life changing for all of us.

I kind of shut down for a second.

It was like,

"Oh my god, that's our house."

Oh my God. - Are you happy to be here?

Yeah, oh my gosh, this is awesome.

(paper rustles) (upbeat xylophone music)

So let's talk about why this house even happened.

One, Matt and I are wacky people.

This was one of the most wild decisions we've ever made.

I think the best way to explain this is

that I am a cancer zodiac.

I love home.

I love having home base.

I love just making memories

and everything revolving around the home.

So it has always been such a dream of mine to

have another place that's like our home away from home

where we can go as a family, we can enjoy holidays

and just make special memories in another location.

This house is on nine acres.

Half of it is absolute forest,

but not only that,

it has a half acre large pond.

Kids, of course, wanted to just take off running,

exploring the grounds.

- Blackberries.

- [Hannah] Oh my goodness.

- Blackberries.

- [Hannah] Look at these. - So tiny!

- There were blackberry bushes all over the property.

My farm girl dreams are coming true.

Oh my gosh, these are crazy good.

The other thing about seeing a house

that you own that you need to fix up is

you can't help but just see work to be done

everywhere you look.

My work is cut out for me

so I'm just gonna start unboxing some stuff.

I'm exhausted.

(paper rustles) (slow funky music)

The vibe I chose for this house was modern farmhouse

so I wanted everything to look clean.

I wanted everything to look simple.

So my plan in my head

in renovating this house was we would just go room to room.

One room at a time and do it,

finish each one with a neat little bow

and move on to the next.

And what I realized very quickly was

it wasn't gonna be that way.

It was gonna be kind of a mad dash of like

this arrived, set this up, this arrived, set this up.

And just do what we can when we can

until the house is finished.

Two fold out couches complete.

(paper rustles) (upbeat suspenseful music)

- Now the main thing impacted by this timeline

was the furnishings.

I had to order everything before I even left,

before I'd even seen this house.

My current huge dilemma,

I ordered nightstands for all the bedrooms

and one pair just never shipped.

When I reached out to customer service and I said,

"this never shipped."

And they said, "okay, we'll look into it."

And then I got an email saying,

"we're sending you a replacement."

And I look and it's gonna arrive when we're gone.

So I had to cancel that replacement.

Nothing will ship in time anymore.

I'm freaking out.

(electronic blipping) - How are you?

- [Hannah] Hi, I'm good.

I'm in my little lodge.

- How has it been restoring that house?

- The word I'd use to describe it is frantic.

Trying to get everything together

and it's been just nonstop work.

- I have a surprise for you.

I've been following your Instagram stories

and I see that you're antiquing.

Are you finding awesome things?

- I don't know why it is so hard.

I cannot find a small nightstand.

So it's been a game of Tetris

getting all the bedrooms together.

And I have one room that has two twin beds

that barely fit and I have about

this much space for a nightstand

and I cannot find anything.

- I found something that I think you're going to love.

We bought it and I sent it to your home.

- I could cry right now.

Oh my gosh.

This has been-

I literally.

I was about to go cut down a tree and use the stump.

- You're gonna love it.

It's like definitely

in the style that we were talking about.

- Well, I have to pay you back.

So can I send you the money with Zelle?

Is that cool?

Yeah, I use Zelle all the time with my family too.

- [Hannah] I've been using it so much

since this whole project started.

It has been a lifesaver

because the money will go to you just in minutes.

It's so much easier to pay.

Okay, you'll get it in a couple minutes.

I appreciate it so much.

- No problem at all.

Please be safe and we'll see you when you get home.

- [Hannah] All right, bye.

(paper rustles) (gentle upbeat music)

I was going through every single room and

thinking about what I needed to do

and then it would dawn on me, I don't have a vacuum.

I don't have light bulbs.

I don't have soap.

I don't have cooking utensils.

I don't have any of this stuff.

I needed to make a trip to town to get some essentials.

We found- - Fans.

- Fans, we found pendant lights for outside wall sconces.

We did not find any chandeliers.

We found a doorbell.

Oh, we took pictures of the bathroom vanities we want.

- Oh, we got more paint.

- We got more paint

and light bulbs. - Woo hoo!

Something that's so special about this area

is there are farms everywhere.

I am at a farm stand.

Ooh, so cute.

So right at the end of our street

there is a gorgeous farm stand

with these giant tomatoes, giant zucchini, corn.

And I had to stop and I had to get some fresh produce.

Oh my gosh, you guys look at this tomato.

And then I got two zucchini

and I got four corn and it was $7.

And I'm very excited.

We're gonna cook this tonight.

I just made the most beautiful plate.

Farm foods, cheese and then little foods from the co-op;

smoked mackerel, stuffed grape leaves, and cornichons.

And I'm gonna devour this.

Oh, look who's here.

What are you gonna have?

Grape leaf?

How is it?

(Matt moans)

This is one of my giant tomatoes.

So delicious.

Look at what Matt's doin'.

Is this Henry's work?

(baby babbles)

You wanna play run in the grass?

- Yes.

- Okay.

This is the reality of setting up a home.

- Hello.

- Woo!

(kids yelling)

- Okay this outdoor table, very nice.

I'm building beds and I had to order these

before we even got here.

Each bedroom has these baseboard heaters that are

throwing me off; I thought I had space.

I toured all the bedrooms.

I saw that it was gonna be a really tough squeeze

with the beds that I had bought.

Each bedroom has baseboard heaters

where you cannot put a bed frame.

This bedroom originally was gonna have two twins,

but I can't do that because there is a baseboard heater.

So there's just nowhere for me to put two beds

and the twin beds are gonna go in here.

It's not perfect.

This closet opens up as well.

It's gonna be a tight squeeze.

This is why I'm really feeling like we're not gonna get

anything done cause. - [Child] Hurry, come on.

Anytime, I try to sit down and do something,

Henry oh my god.

Another thing that definitely factored into this

furnishing is my pregnancy brain.

Sometimes I do this thing where I'll order something

and then forget, and then I'll be like,

(Hannah gasps) "I never ordered it."

And I'll order it again and again and again.

So look what happened.

I am drowning in bath towels.

I firmly believe you can never have enough towels.

A couple or, you know, 60 extra towels never hurt anybody.

We got the magical chairs

that we've been so excited about

and they're gonna go in the living room.

The living room is like not even close to done,

but we're gonna set 'em up just to see if they're comfy.

Is it comfy?

Yeah, I must fall asleep for a second.

Oh my gosh, that's beautiful.

Too bad the background is so bad right now.

(paper rustles) (gentle guitar music)

Just because you're renovating a house

doesn't mean fashion goes out the window.

Fit check.
