She revealed that she and her partner, Kieran and their youngest daughter live in one larger caravan while her eldest daughter lives in another right beside them.
In the clip, she said: “We’ve come from a literal council estate in Blackpool to this gorgeousness because we had just had enough and were like f**k it.
“We wanted a better life for the kids.”
She showed viewers around the land she and her husband now lived on while in her pyjamas, admitting it was Kieran’s hard work putting it all together.
The family has decided to live off-grid at the farm, using a generator for power and solar panels.
They also have installed a large water tank for their supplies.
The farm is in working order and Carms and Kieran have sheep, pigs and dogs on the land.
Despite going from a bustling city to the middle of nowhere, she revealed they couldn’t be happier.
” That’s how we live, off-grid,” she added.
“Out of the rat race and into a beautiful rural area where my kids can play and be safe. And I’ve got my animals.
“It’s all just very beautiful. I mean it’s hard work. But. We’re f**king buzzing with it.”
The clip has since gone viral on her TikTok account @carmsmula88 with 11k views and many took to the comments to share their thoughts on their new way of life.

Moving house hacks
1. Declutter Before You Pack
Sort through your belongings and get rid of anything you no longer need. Donate, sell, or recycle items to lighten your load.
2. Create an Inventory
Make a list of all your items. This helps keep track of everything and ensures nothing gets lost in the move.
3. Use Quality Packing Materials
Invest in sturdy boxes, bubble wrap, and packing tape. This will protect your belongings during the move.
4. Label Everything
Clearly label each box with its contents and the room it belongs to. This makes unpacking much easier and more organized.
5. Pack a ‘First Day’ Box
Include essentials like toiletries, a change of clothes, snacks, and important documents. This will keep you from rummaging through boxes on your first day.
6. Take Photos of Electronics Setup
Before unplugging your electronics, take photos of the wiring setup. This will make it easier to reconnect everything at your new place.
7. Use Suitcases for Heavy Items
Pack books and other heavy items in rolling suitcases. This makes them easier to transport and reduces the risk of injury.
8. Colour-Code Your Boxes
Use different coloured stickers or markers for each room. This will help movers quickly identify where each box should go in your new home.
Meanwhile, a fourth said: “I can’t fault you and I completely understand. I can’t big you up enough because you want a better life and what you are passionate about is your kids being SAFE.”
“This is a dream to me. Wouldn’t have a clue where to start though,” claimed a fifth.
Someone else added: “Lovely little life.”
