Grandma was reminding you that she’s always with you when you found that plaque. What a treasure of a find. I was tearing up!! God bless you and your beautiful family!
It finally feels like autumntime when Natalie uploads decorating videos. It's not the holidays unless you're reminding us that we don't have to keep up with the Joneses ☺️❤️ I'd love outfit inspo, as well as recipes (specifically ones to make with kiddos) #BacktoFall
😭😭😭😭 my dad passed last summer....God is so Good to go out of his way to show us love....AR the thrift store...It is well with my soul....Natlie....thank you for being Thankful to God out loud and encouraging others about how much our Heavenly Father loves us. Thank you for really being so intentional 🙏 ☺️ ❤️ God Bless you.
We’re in the process of majorly decluttering our home to sell it and downsize to a smaller property that we own. It’s a HUGE undertaking and these videos are inspiring me to keep going!
I just have to say thank you Natalie. I am going through a phase in life right now where I am extremely discouraged by all of the unrealistic mom expectations that so many channels portray. While you don’t show the nitty-gritty hard times of being a mom you keep it so real and that is the reason I still watch you. love you!!
When my grandma passed I picked two slender milk glass vases as a keepsake. I went to a thrift store one day and found a third vase exact print/cuts and all. I thought it was a great reminder of her reaching down from heaven.
I love the fact that you keep the traditions alive and don’t always have to have the newest things to decorate. Very inspiring. I love thrift stores. Who doesn’t love to save money. Autumn is my second favorite season. I look forward to it because it leads to my favorite season winter. I’d love to see more decorating and organization content on your website.
My dad has shared this lovely memory of his dad being out working in the fields and being able to hear him singing It Is Well as he worked. His dad died when my dad was 11 and so though I was never able to meet him I’ve heard all about him and this song makes me think of his love for the Lord. Love all the unique decor. Also, your dining area with the simplicity of the table and the light from the windows is *chefs kiss
Autumn is my love language too! 😆 Everything you listed sounds awesome! I'd love to see recipes, easy fashion, and cozy Fall family time. 💛💛 #backtofall
#backtofall Autumn is my favourite season too, although I might be biased as my birthday is in October🥰 Some things I would absolutely LOVE to see on your website (or even on TH-cam): - Seasonal arts, crafts, baking and activities! - Lifestyle content; outfits, the reality of home renovation, what you do in a week - Homeschool series; tips, tricks and resources - Neurodiversity; what you do to improve symptoms, helping children with neurodiversity, etc - How you host for big and small events; decorating, preparation, food, etc - Mindfulness moment; what did you do this week to relax or ground yourself, encourage others to do the same I'm loving all of your content at the moment, Natalie! Keep doing what feels right to you❤
"It is Well" is also my life song. I have depression and this song keeps reminding me that even though things are rough and my brain isn't in a good place sometimes, my soul can still praise Him. My depression has gotten me in a closer relationship with God than I would be otherwise. As soon as this song comes on, or I even think about it sometimes, I tear up with gratitude.
We totally have similar style. I love anything that reminds me of my childhood or grandparents house, but I like blending it with new things so my house doesn’t look too granny. But I get super giddy over antique granny decor. I recently got a cuckoo clock from Switzerland and I LOVE it! ♥️
Natalie, that verse from the song you found brought me to tears. My reconnected boyfriend recently past away and I have been struggling with his loss. He had kidney failure and when dialysis stopped working he was put on hospice. He only lingered a few days after hospice and he past. In my life (74 yrs) I always had a deep connection with God. I knew I was put in his life to be with him and to comfort him. And I am grateful to God to let us have the time we had.(2 and a half yrs). Thank you for being you!🙏🥰💜
Autumn is my love language too! I’m a October Libra and I absolutely love the fall. My favorite time of year. I try to wait until the official start but usually 1 September is my start. I want those seasonal plaques! So sweet! 😍
I absolutely love that you thrift, reuse ♻️, and CHERISH all the things that you already have that spark joyful memories!!! Your channel is such a breath of fresh air ❤️
It's the third time I'm rewatching this video. I just started noticing the leaves falling and your calm videos full of pretty goods and lovely thoughts help me embrace the cozy feeling. I love fall, my birthday is in early October, I love a calm evening with tea and a blanket, but I'm sad to see daylight go for so long. I'm looking forward to your videos helping me through the darker days. For your blog I'd love to read some posts with recipes and meal prepping for some easy meals I could prepare in the evening and have waiting for me in the fridge for when I'm back from work next day. And I'd love to see lots of pictures of the nature around your house :)
Everything you listed sounds amazing! Recipes, minimalism, coziness, gardening, all the things:) so excited! Love seeing how God is using you and blessing your family. #backtofall
I love that “It Is Well” wooden picture! My sister and I harmonized that hymn during our mother’s funeral. It was my mom’s favorite hymn and she would always do the alto part while we carried the soprano part. Every time I sing it, I picture my mom up in heaven praising our Savior, Jesus! I’m excited for your website! Glad everything came together for you to do it. I’m looking forward to all your encouraging content.
#BackoFall Recipes or blogs would be awesome. 💜 Grief is so hard. I lost both my parents in 2021 six months apart. The last week grief just snuck back in out of nowhere. Finding your little treasure was no accident. It was something you needed that day. What a beautiful way to pay tribute to your grandma (pa)
I can tell how much u still miss grandma, a song really does bring on the tears wen grieving, i lost mum 2 yrs ago n still cry wen hear her song ,absolutely love your pillows xx
I would love to see content about neurodivergent parents raising neurodivergent kids. I've always been drawn to your videos, even though your content is very different than what I normally watch. I literally replay your messy to minimal and get it all done videos while I clean/organize/etc. Once you revealed your diagnosis, it all made sense. I have adhd, and I'm raising ND kids, so your content spoke to that part of my brain, without me even realizing it. The way you process things and the way you parent are very similar to how I process and parent, and I really appreciate how much you've helped me.
#backtofall any recipes and printables I love your “It is well with my soul plaque.” How truly special! My grandma had Alzheimer’s and I had a good moment where I was able to ask her what her favorite song was. I really never had, because she liked so many and sang all the time. She was even in a gospel group for many years. She immediately replied back “What a day that will be!” I jotted it down on my phone and kept it 6 years before we used it at her funeral. It was perfect! I can’t even imagine what a day that was for her when she saw Jesus. Thanks for sharing as always.
#backtofall I am super in love with your messy to minimal and house to home/homestead content so I am definitely excited to see posts about your emotional journey and growth through projects like these. I would also love to see you sharing about your homeschool methods and philosophy. I 100% support you showing less of what homeschool looks like for y'all in order to respect your kids privacy but I would love to hear more about the general structure of your days/weeks. I'm just beginning to dive into "schooling" with my little and am so interested in approaches, thoughts on curriculum, favorite games and supplies, everything! Also can't wait to see continued growth in your gardening adventures. Basically I am excited to see everything!
I love that hymnal. I lost my Dad to COVID in January and we sang that song at his service. Very powerful and comforting. Very near and dear to my heart ❤️❤️❤️
I think you love fall as much as I do. Love the story about your grandparents. I feel so much closer to you and yours. That’s what an “Influencer” does. They share their lives. # backtofall
I would love to see free printables (like cute home decor prints or quotes) home organization & minimalism ideas, tips & tricks, as well as any & all homeschool content on your new website. How exciting!! Thank you for all the work and time you devote to providing helpful & inspirational content to busy moms like me!
I love love love that song!!! I love hearing it at the end of your videos. My Grandpa's favorite song was How Great Thou Art. I heard the group, Home Free, sing that song yesterday. Even though my grandpa has been gone about 60 years, that song still reminds me of him and grandma, and brings tears to my eyes. PTL we'll get to see them again some day!!!
#backtofall I would love to hear more about growing in faith as well as how minimalism fit into homesteading. As someone who is forced to cook from scratch for all my meals I get overwhelmed by all the appliances I feel like I need to make cooking happen with a busy schedule. Love your channel and always get so much encouragement from watching your journey!
I love singing that song in church and getting to harmonize with my family, we sing a prayer hymn at my family gartherings my aunt would start singing it but she unfortunately passed away almost a year ago and we are still singing it as a way to remember her when we have family dinners
I love that use use fall decor that you have accumulated, and that is meaningful to you. You don't have to go shopping every fall for decor abd that definitely saves money. I love just seeing your everyday routine, especially with your kiddos. That is always fun to watch. Take care, and God bless.
#backtofall Fall really is the best month, love that crisp autumn air! I'd love to see articles and thoughts about minimalism, perhaps how there isn't just one kind of minimalism and tips and tricks to move to a more minimal lifestyle. I'm on that journey now and while I know I'll never only have like 20 things in my house, I like your approach to making sure there is a use for everything you have in your home and how it's best to get rid of the excess. Finding joy in simplicity is what draws me to minimalism and I appreciate your positive approach to making your home and your stuff serve you and your family in the best way possible.
#backtofall I am with you! Fall is the best!! I would love to see the recipes and printables for the family or kids and mom inspired posts like “stop trying ti be the perfect mom”. You show us how you parent and also be you. The balance of it all is not easy. Minimalism is also posts I look forward to reading! Congrats! Really proud of you!
Omg....I've done the shove crap into a tote thing before. Then during a fed up clean session, I threw all kinda things away. Thinking "good grief....why am I holding this". I loved the candy corn growing up. Then hadn't purchased for many years. My mom had it in a bowl, I tried and hated it ever since. Such is life. I'll be going through my Fall decor tomorrow. I weirdly do my best decorating when I'm alone. My husband took a week off work to breathe and we hung out. So I'll decorate after he's back at the office. I know I need to clean and declutter. So thank you sweet Natalie for this inspiring video. ❤️❤️ You are killing me with the candy core mess. 🤦♀️😩🤣❤️❤️
My pastor did a sermon series a couple years ago on different hymns. He preached about It is Well. Each verse was a new point, tied to scripture. It was one of my favorite sermons I think I’ve ever heard. That song is so dear to my heart after a very rough few years in my personal life. The version that Bethel Music has done is just as powerful of a song as the original. ❤️
Natalie, not sure if you’ll see this more than a week later BUT I just want to tell you how much a have appreciated your content over the years. I think I landed here around 2018 for a coffee video, but I have hung around because I just look up to you. I am so inspired by your groundedness, your humility, your thriftiness, your sentimentality, etc. Thank you for being a wonderful presence in this space that I always look forward to coming to.
#backtofall Your videos remind us that there are good and kind people in the world. Keep doing what you're doing and being a bright spot in our day! Love seeing your mom too and hearing her wisdom. I'm looking forward to everything fall - especially cozy football days and eating chili:)
Thank you for” It is well within my soul”the moment you began to speak about this song I got goosebumps! I got tested up….. perhaps the songs was a nod to you from above . I can’t wait for your blog. I feel like a monthly faith based inspo would be amazing . No matter what it will be glorious. Fall #backtofall
#backtofall my favorite things to see from your channel is the good old messy to minimal. Love the inspiration to make our home work for us more than us working so hard to hold on to things. Thrift finds to replace broken or unloved items would be amazing for the website!
I don't care if it's cheugy either - there is just something magical about autumn, especially in the PNW! I'd love to see blog posts on gardening and recipes you make with the food you grow, plus activities to do with kiddos! #backtofall 🍂
Oh I love that wood plaque. How special. ❤️❤️❤️. The story behind that song is just powerful and always makes me realize that no matter how rough things are it could be tougher!!!
Love your messy to minimal seasonal decor videos! Years ago you wrote down before opening the tubs what you were excited to decorate with as a checks and balances for what was important and I find myself doing the same. Super helpful tip and I find it easier to part with the older stuff that I forgot I had. Love your content! 🧡
#backtofall I love your coffee recipes! I consistently find myself going back to watch them at all times of the year! Absolutely love your creativity and excitement! ☕️
I just LOVE YOUR CHANNEL AND YOU!!! You have been such a blessing and inspiration for me for many years! I love all your videos … especially fall and Christmas!! It’s been so much fun watching you grow as a momma!! Please more outfits videos, hosting tips / recipes.. and just more speaking into all of our lives!! God bless you Natalie and May God continue to use you through these means!!🍁🍂🍁🍂😘🍂🍁❤️❤️❤️
#backtofall - these are some of my favorite videos from you! I go back and rewatch old videos when I need more motivation/want to feel like I’m in the holiday spirit. I’d love to see more day in my life/get it all done with me. I also have been enjoying your food videos!
#backtofall I would love to see mommy support and encouragement. Being a mom is just tough so I think it would be so nice to see things like that on your page!☺️ I would also love to see simple recipes and maybe some homeschooling things! My son is 1, but I have tossed around the idea of homeschooling him!❤️
So excited!! I'd love to see your clothing hauls and kid clothing hauls. I love all your reusing things you have and adding a few things ideas, could be for anything (birthday decorating for kids, updating a room in your house etc) I'd also love holiday baking or hosting tips.
It Is Well with My Soul is one of my favorites as well. Knowing the story behind it and how much the writer went through as well makes it even more powerful. On your website I would love to see your favorite recipes and things you’re excited about happening in your life. I really enjoy your content and will probably love whatever you decide to add there. So excited for you and grateful as you continue to share your life with us 🙂 #backtofall
#backtofall so the beginning part of the video was cracking me up because we just moved a couple months ago and there’s still boxes to go through and I have found some interesting things. Not candy corn but random socks in weird places and trash so very relatable. I already started decorating my house for fall even though it’s still very warm out. I hope you have a lovely day as well!
I’m a fall girl too! Loving the wooden “It Is Well” plaque that you found. I was tearing up hearing you read the first verse. I love all the family traditions you and your family have together. Such wonderful memories you have to carry and pass on. And congrats on the website! Can’t wait for the launch! A week of homeschool mom outfit inspiration and daily schedule for a working homeschool momma. #BACKTOFALL
Your meaningful decor is always fun to see, and reminds me of my childhood too. Its so much more special than crazy big hauls of the run of the mill stuff. We see your heart and true style!
Our grandmothers actually shape us into the women we are today. It actually makes me tear up thinking about the holidays spent with them as a child and young adult. Blessings to you this season!❤️
Fall really is such a cozy time of year! I’m looking forward to the temperatures cooling down a bit here in TN. I’m so excited for your website! I know you’ve worked hard on it and I’m looking forward to seeing your content there. Anything about homesteading, minimalism, recipes, and your favorite things would be fun to see! #backtofall
Yay!! 🍃 🍁 So excited to see your new website in this special Season! #backtofall 🧡. I would love to see a combination of your favorite recipes, homeschooling resources, clothing styles, and even a personal touch of what God is teaching you throughout these different seasons of Motherhood.
#backtofall I watch your videos every week without fail here in the UK! I'm a blessed mama to two children, and would love to learn more about how you explain/encourage/teach minimalism to children on your blog. Also, your top tips in balancing your health with motherhood, being a wife, church commitments & everything in between!
#backtofall I would like to see family stories, even old or traditional stories that belong to your family for the different seasons!! This video was very inspiring to me in the last part! Thank you
"It is Well With My Soul" is one of my absolute favorites too!!! My sister who is a musician sang this at her husband's celebration of life after battling years of cancer. I cried along with you! Im truly looking forward to following your website and learning together. One of my favorite videos you posted were the garden ones. You inspired me so much!!! I also love the coffee recipes, organization and most of all the real life love!!! I drank a chocolate cold brew coffee while I watched for this wonderfully inspirational decorating video. #BacktoFall
#backtofall All the seasonal things! The stories behind the recipes, the trinkets of decor, and those types of little moments! And of course everything else, the clothing insp. + gardening too!
Love your tone and style! I'd love to view recipes, capsule wardrobe suggestions, thrift finds and style, kid oriented tips, gardening, household organization and of course printables for home routines!
#Backtofall I'm so happy fall is on its way, it is also my favorite season! I would love to see fall and holiday recipes, motherhood articles and outfit inspiration!!! So excited for you and so grateful that I found your channel ❤❤
Congrats on your upcoming website launch! Seasonal recipes, including cozy drinks would be an amazing add. Tips on gardening would be helpful too. #backtofall The old candy corn stuck to your decor was funny!😂 I love the wooden season signs from your Grandma - so special💛
There is nothing like a move without a little excitement in every package! 📦 We have the same pumpkin canister and use it every year! We like to mix candy corn and peanuts together! -Delicious! I loved that you had so many sentimental touches throughout all of your decor. It is a beautiful way to decorate. I look forward to seeing more of your recipes, remolding, homesteading, and guides to minimalism. #BacktoFall 🍁.
I've been watching your videos since the boys were toddlers and your fall content has always been my absolute favorite! Thanks for all that you do! #backtofall
I was just telling my children the story of Haratio Spafford who wrote "It is Well". I couldn't tell it without crying. And then as we sang this verse, it hit me anew what Christ has done for me !"My sin, oh the bliss, of this glorious thought. My sin, not in part, but the whole. Is nailed to his cross and I bear it no more. Praise the Lord, praise the Lord Oh my soul!.... That Christ hath regarded my helpless estate, and hath shed His own blood for my soul!"
Hi, Natalie! Really enjoy your decorating style, recipes, homeschool hints and childcare techniques, farm and garden(looking forward to chickens!), cleaning and organizing....all of it! #back to school!! So excited for new opportunities for you!
Love the #Backtofall series. Central CA it is still going to be in the 100º weather this next week, so I am living vicariously through your videos.🍂 Can't wait for all the yummy recipes and fun thrift store hauls on your blog and TH-cam channel. Your videos have helped me purge a lot of random stuff we never use, while also being more mindful of what I'm purchasing and bringing into our space, so grateful for finding your channel. 💛
#backtofall I’m so excited about all of your ideas for the website! Most excited for your recipes and homesteading advice! Would also love anything you’d like to share about home design and styling as you renovate different parts of your home. Love your heart and all you do! You make me excited to be a mom and own a home one day💛
I’d love to see more recipes and minimalism content. Homesteading and homeschooling as well! Love your videos especially your fall videos. 😍 And I love the hymn it is well! We actually had it sung at our wedding. A very unusual wedding song but it’s a special song to me as well. And everyone was very blessed by the song.
Yay!!! So excited about the website!!! I have learned so much from you in regards to decluttering, keeping up with things in my home, and acceptance of where we are, and being okay with that..... I would LOVE to hear how you manage the harder days in motherhood. I know you don't like to share the children's experiences but to know you how to handle the mama side of things I am sure would be so helpful!!! #backtofall
Ahhh I can‘t wait to feel more of those Natty-Vibes 🥰 no matter what you are writing or talking about- i love it! ✨ i would loooove to read about a cozy fall routine, some minimal closing ideas and maybe about diy/ low budget decor - just to give some inspiration. But as I said, I love it all. Wish you all the best for the start in your (and mine too) favorite season. Sending you lovely greetings from Germany, Lisa 🍂🍃 #backtofall
Yay!! I’m so excited for your website Natalie!! I love recipes, blog posts, outfits inspo, minimalism. I’m excited for whatever you want to share. I love fall too and love having this to look forward to. #backtofall
Hi Natalie. Really enjoy the tranquility and peace of your a autumn videos. I always save them to watch when it's quiet in the house, just to savour the vibe. Really looking forward to more mommy wardrobe inspo, minimalism and frugal living as well as some updates and information around your health journey #backtofall 🍂 🍁 🍂
What adorable finds! I love the charm that the older decor items carry with them. As an adult and with my own kiddos I find I appreciate them more than I did when I was younger, as it brings the memories of my older loved ones and happy memories. Bring on the cross-stitch! 😊 One thing I have always loved about your channel is the message that living simply is okay, and that life doesn’t need to be Pinterest-worthy to be beautiful. I enjoy all of the topics you listed- recipes, gardening, living minimally, etc.
#backtofall I so enjoy your positivity and keeping it real attitude. I love all your content, esp. how to cozy up your home with not too much stuff. Highlighting an area and showing how you swap out your chosen items would be very interesting.
Loved this video!! #backtofall I would love to see recipes, cleaning routines/products, daily tidy tips, easy tips for maintaining a less cluttered space, mom looks, and anything else you choose to share!
I’m new to minimalism and fairly new to your channel and really enjoying it. I’d love to learn more about your journey into minimalism on your website. I’m excited for you that you are getting to see one of your dreams come true! Excited for printables too! “It is Well with my Soul” is a song we sang at my brother’s funeral, and to this day, (24+ yrs later), I still tear up like it was yesterday whenever I hear that song. What a precious find. #backtofall
Oh my gosh that wooden plaque! I absolutely love it. #backtofall is one of my favorite times of the year! I started following you with one of your coffee videos, so I would love seeing more of that type of content on youtube or your website
Pleasure to watch you and benefit from your mindful advices. I agree to find happiness in simple, already owned stuff. Consumerism is bombarded to us. It is good to find joy, happiness with our existing posessions. Such a good content. Thank you for sharing and being such a sweet and mindful. Lots of love and respect.
I love all your videos! As a mom of 3 I can really enjoy your "realness" when it comes to cleaning,minimalism,decluttering, etc. I would love all of that content on your blog ! Also maybe some tips/tricks on how to stay sane with home schooling. #backtofall
Natalie, such beautiful memories you are creating and cherishing! Thank you for sharing. Video idea... As a homeschooling mother myself, I would love to see a homeschool room tour/makeover for your family. 😊
Grandma was reminding you that she’s always with you when you found that plaque. What a treasure of a find. I was tearing up!! God bless you and your beautiful family!
Lol I put the same thing !
I thought the very same thing!
I love how relatable your videos are!! Thanks for not making it “Pinterest perfect” and sharing real life with us 😊
It finally feels like autumntime when Natalie uploads decorating videos. It's not the holidays unless you're reminding us that we don't have to keep up with the Joneses ☺️❤️ I'd love outfit inspo, as well as recipes (specifically ones to make with kiddos) #BacktoFall
😭😭😭😭 my dad passed last summer....God is so Good to go out of his way to show us love....AR the thrift store...It is well with my soul....Natlie....thank you for being Thankful to God out loud and encouraging others about how much our Heavenly Father loves us. Thank you for really being so intentional 🙏 ☺️ ❤️ God Bless you.
We’re in the process of majorly decluttering our home to sell it and downsize to a smaller property that we own. It’s a HUGE undertaking and these videos are inspiring me to keep going!
I just have to say thank you Natalie. I am going through a phase in life right now where I am extremely discouraged by all of the unrealistic mom expectations that so many channels portray. While you don’t show the nitty-gritty hard times of being a mom you keep it so real and that is the reason I still watch you. love you!!
Oh I am so sorry you're feeling this way, but I'm grateful to be a place where you can find encouragement! ♥️
That wooden plaque of the "It is well with my soul" hymn is beautiful!! Love that! I really enjoy seeing how you decorate! Thanks for sharing!
When my grandma passed I picked two slender milk glass vases as a keepsake. I went to a thrift store one day and found a third vase exact print/cuts and all. I thought it was a great reminder of her reaching down from heaven.
I love the fact that you keep the traditions alive and don’t always have to have the newest things to decorate. Very inspiring. I love thrift stores. Who doesn’t love to save money.

#backtofall
Autumn is my favourite season too, although I might be biased as my birthday is in October🥰
Some things I would absolutely LOVE to see on your website (or even on TH-cam):
- Seasonal arts, crafts, baking and activities!
- Lifestyle content; outfits, the reality of home renovation, what you do in a week
- Homeschool series; tips, tricks and resources
- Neurodiversity; what you do to improve symptoms, helping children with neurodiversity, etc
- How you host for big and small events; decorating, preparation, food, etc
- Mindfulness moment; what did you do this week to relax or ground yourself, encourage others to do the same
I'm loving all of your content at the moment, Natalie! Keep doing what feels right to you❤
LOVE that hymn plaque! That's what we sang when my gramps was passing, and at his service. That's a special piece Natalie ❤
"It is Well" is also my life song. I have depression and this song keeps reminding me that even though things are rough and my brain isn't in a good place sometimes, my soul can still praise Him. My depression has gotten me in a closer relationship with God than I would be otherwise. As soon as this song comes on, or I even think about it sometimes, I tear up with gratitude.

Natalie, that verse from the song you found brought me to tears. My reconnected boyfriend recently past away and I have been struggling with his loss. He had kidney failure and when dialysis stopped working he was put on hospice. He only lingered a few days after hospice and he past. In my life (74 yrs) I always had a deep connection with God. I knew I was put in his life to be with him and to comfort him. And I am grateful to God to let us have the time we had.(2 and a half yrs). Thank you for being you!🙏🥰💜
I am so very sorry for your loss, Sharon. ♥️
Autumn is my love language too! I’m a October Libra and I absolutely love the fall. My favorite time of year. I try to wait until the official start but usually 1 September is my start. I want those seasonal plaques! So sweet! 😍
I love how you talk about sweet memories from your childhood. I hope I can make a peaceful, cozy, loving home that my children can look back at 🧡
I absolutely love that you thrift, reuse ♻️, and CHERISH all the things that you already have that spark joyful memories!!! Your channel is such a breath of fresh air ❤️
It's the third time I'm rewatching this video. I just started noticing the leaves falling and your calm videos full of pretty goods and lovely thoughts help me embrace the cozy feeling.

I’m excited for your website! Glad everything came together for you to do it. I’m looking forward to all your encouraging content.
I love your quaint additions to tie in the old! Thanks for getting me in the declutter and fall decorating mode! #backtofall
#BackoFall Recipes or blogs would be awesome. 💜 Grief is so hard. I lost both my parents in 2021 six months apart. The last week grief just snuck back in out of nowhere. Finding your little treasure was no accident. It was something you needed that day. What a beautiful way to pay tribute to your grandma (pa)
Love seeing homestead content! Everything you listed sounds right up my alley. And Chatty Nattie in written form gets me excited! #backtofall
I can tell how much u still miss grandma, a song really does bring on the tears wen grieving, i lost mum 2 yrs ago n still cry wen hear her song ,absolutely love your pillows xx
Everything you listed sounds amazing! Outfits, decor, yummy food - all the things! #backtofall

The way you process things and the way you parent are very similar to how I process and parent, and I really appreciate how much you've helped me.
Congratulations! I’m excited for you! I want to see fall outfits and recipes. I love fall too 🥰 #backtofall
#backtofall any recipes and printables
I love your “It is well with my soul plaque.” How truly special!
My grandma had Alzheimer’s and I had a good moment where I was able to ask her what her favorite song was. I really never had, because she liked so many and sang all the time. She was even in a gospel group for many years.
She immediately replied back “What a day that will be!” I jotted it down on my phone and kept it 6 years before we used it at her funeral. It was perfect!
I can’t even imagine what a day that was for her when she saw Jesus.
Thanks for sharing as always.
#backtofall I am super in love with your messy to minimal and house to home/homestead content so I am definitely excited to see posts about your emotional journey and growth through projects like these. I would also love to see you sharing about your homeschool methods and philosophy. I 100% support you showing less of what homeschool looks like for y'all in order to respect your kids privacy but I would love to hear more about the general structure of your days/weeks. I'm just beginning to dive into "schooling" with my little and am so interested in approaches, thoughts on curriculum, favorite games and supplies, everything! Also can't wait to see continued growth in your gardening adventures. Basically I am excited to see everything!
I love that hymnal. I lost my Dad to COVID in January and we sang that song at his service. Very powerful and comforting. Very near and dear to my heart ❤️❤️❤️
I’m really enjoying how messy, icky and ‘ broken’ the stuff is in your bin…it’s just so relatable!
I think you love fall as much as I do. Love the story about your grandparents. I feel so much closer to you and yours. That’s what an “Influencer” does. They share their lives. # backtofall
I would love to see free printables (like cute home decor prints or quotes) home organization & minimalism ideas, tips & tricks, as well as any & all homeschool content on your new website. How exciting!! Thank you for all the work and time you devote to providing helpful & inspirational content to busy moms like me!
I love love love that song!!! I love hearing it at the end of your videos. My Grandpa's favorite song was How Great Thou Art. I heard the group, Home Free, sing that song yesterday. Even though my grandpa has been gone about 60 years, that song still reminds me of him and grandma, and brings tears to my eyes. PTL we'll get to see them again some day!!!
#backtofall I would love to hear more about growing in faith as well as how minimalism fit into homesteading. As someone who is forced to cook from scratch for all my meals I get overwhelmed by all the appliances I feel like I need to make cooking happen with a busy schedule. Love your channel and always get so much encouragement from watching your journey!
I love singing that song in church and getting to harmonize with my family, we sing a prayer hymn at my family gartherings my aunt would start singing it but she unfortunately passed away almost a year ago and we are still singing it as a way to remember her when we have family dinners
I love that use use fall decor that you have accumulated, and that is meaningful to you. You don't have to go shopping every fall for decor abd that definitely saves money. I love just seeing your everyday routine, especially with your kiddos. That is always fun to watch. Take care, and God bless.
Fall is my love language too 🍂🍁 I’d love to see mommy outfit inspo, and homeschool material ideas. Thank you! ❤️
#backtofall Fall really is the best month, love that crisp autumn air! I'd love to see articles and thoughts about minimalism, perhaps how there isn't just one kind of minimalism and tips and tricks to move to a more minimal lifestyle. I'm on that journey now and while I know I'll never only have like 20 things in my house, I like your approach to making sure there is a use for everything you have in your home and how it's best to get rid of the excess. Finding joy in simplicity is what draws me to minimalism and I appreciate your positive approach to making your home and your stuff serve you and your family in the best way possible.
#backtofall I am with you! Fall is the best!! I would love to see the recipes and printables for the family or kids and mom inspired posts like “stop trying ti be the perfect mom”. You show us how you parent and also be you. The balance of it all is not easy. Minimalism is also posts I look forward to reading! Congrats! Really proud of you!
Omg....I've done the shove crap into a tote thing before. Then during a fed up clean session, I threw all kinda things away. Thinking "good grief....why am I holding this". I loved the candy corn growing up. Then hadn't purchased for many years. My mom had it in a bowl, I tried and hated it ever since. Such is life. I'll be going through my Fall decor tomorrow. I weirdly do my best decorating when I'm alone. My husband took a week off work to breathe and we hung out. So I'll decorate after he's back at the office. I know I need to clean and declutter. So thank you sweet Natalie for this inspiring video. ❤️❤️
You are killing me with the candy core mess. 🤦♀️😩🤣❤️❤️
My pastor did a sermon series a couple years ago on different hymns. He preached about It is Well. Each verse was a new point, tied to scripture. It was one of my favorite sermons I think I’ve ever heard.
That song is so dear to my heart after a very rough few years in my personal life. The version that Bethel Music has done is just as powerful of a song as the original. ❤️
Natalie, not sure if you’ll see this more than a week later BUT I just want to tell you how much a have appreciated your content over the years. I think I landed here around 2018 for a coffee video, but I have hung around because I just look up to you. I am so inspired by your groundedness, your humility, your thriftiness, your sentimentality, etc. Thank you for being a wonderful presence in this space that I always look forward to coming to.
I do love that hymn! “It is well with my soul” how precious. ❤️👍🏼
#backtofall Your videos remind us that there are good and kind people in the world. Keep doing what you're doing and being a bright spot in our day! Love seeing your mom too and hearing her wisdom. I'm looking forward to everything fall - especially cozy football days and eating chili:)
Thank you for” It is well within my soul”the moment you began to speak about this song I got goosebumps! I got tested up….. perhaps the songs was a nod to you from above . I can’t wait for your blog. I feel like a monthly faith based inspo would be amazing . No matter what it will be glorious. Fall #backtofall
#backtofall my favorite things to see from your channel is the good old messy to minimal. Love the inspiration to make our home work for us more than us working so hard to hold on to things. Thrift finds to replace broken or unloved items would be amazing for the website!
I don't care if it's cheugy either - there is just something magical about autumn, especially in the PNW! I'd love to see blog posts on gardening and recipes you make with the food you grow, plus activities to do with kiddos! #backtofall 🍂
Oh I love that wood plaque. How special. ❤️❤️❤️. The story behind that song is just powerful and always makes me realize that no matter how rough things are it could be tougher!!!
Love your messy to minimal seasonal decor videos! Years ago you wrote down before opening the tubs what you were excited to decorate with as a checks and balances for what was important and I find myself doing the same. Super helpful tip and I find it easier to part with the older stuff that I forgot I had. Love your content! 🧡
#backtofall
I love your coffee recipes! I consistently find myself going back to watch them at all times of the year! Absolutely love your creativity and excitement! ☕️
The wooden song and the story were so sweet. Thank you for sharing. Wow. What a thing you were meant to have. How special.
I just LOVE YOUR CHANNEL AND YOU!!! You have been such a blessing and inspiration for me for many years! I love all your videos … especially fall and Christmas!! It’s been so much fun watching you grow as a momma!! Please more outfits videos, hosting tips / recipes.. and just more speaking into all of our lives!! God bless you Natalie and May God continue to use you through these means!!🍁🍂🍁🍂😘🍂🍁❤️❤️❤️
#backtofall - these are some of my favorite videos from you! I go back and rewatch old videos when I need more motivation/want to feel like I’m in the holiday spirit. I’d love to see more day in my life/get it all done with me. I also have been enjoying your food videos!
I love watching any videos about home projects: renovations, decorating, decluttering, organizing and also cooking recipes! #backtofall
THANK YOU for reminding me about one of my favorite praise and worship songs “It Is Well”. 💜
Traditions are so beautiful for your family. Your face lit up describing all the things..especially the plaques you have from your grandma. Happy fall
#backtofall I would love to see mommy support and encouragement. Being a mom is just tough so I think it would be so nice to see things like that on your page!☺️
I would also love to see simple recipes and maybe some homeschooling things! My son is 1, but I have tossed around the idea of homeschooling him!❤️
So excited!! I'd love to see your clothing hauls and kid clothing hauls. I love all your reusing things you have and adding a few things ideas, could be for anything (birthday decorating for kids, updating a room in your house etc) I'd also love holiday baking or hosting tips.
I love the plaque with the song on it! It is well with my soul! One of my favorites!
It Is Well with My Soul is one of my favorites as well. Knowing the story behind it and how much the writer went through as well makes it even more powerful. On your website I would love to see your favorite recipes and things you’re excited about happening in your life. I really enjoy your content and will probably love whatever you decide to add there. So excited for you and grateful as you continue to share your life with us 🙂 #backtofall
#backtofall so the beginning part of the video was cracking me up because we just moved a couple months ago and there’s still boxes to go through and I have found some interesting things. Not candy corn but random socks in weird places and trash so very relatable. I already started decorating my house for fall even though it’s still very warm out. I hope you have a lovely day as well!
I’m a fall girl too! Loving the wooden “It Is Well” plaque that you found. I was tearing up hearing you read the first verse. I love all the family traditions you and your family have together. Such wonderful memories you have to carry and pass on. And congrats on the website! Can’t wait for the launch! A week of homeschool mom outfit inspiration and daily schedule for a working homeschool momma. #BACKTOFALL
Your meaningful decor is always fun to see, and reminds me of my childhood too. Its so much more special than crazy big hauls of the run of the mill stuff. We see your heart and true style!
Our grandmothers actually shape us into the women we are today. It actually makes me tear up thinking about the holidays spent with them as a child and young adult. Blessings to you this season!❤️
Fall really is such a cozy time of year! I’m looking forward to the temperatures cooling down a bit here in TN.
I’m so excited for your website! I know you’ve worked hard on it and I’m looking forward to seeing your content there. Anything about homesteading, minimalism, recipes, and your favorite things would be fun to see! #backtofall
Yay!! 🍃 🍁 So excited to see your new website in this special Season! #backtofall 🧡. I would love to see a combination of your favorite recipes, homeschooling resources, clothing styles, and even a personal touch of what God is teaching you throughout these different seasons of Motherhood.
#backtofall I watch your videos every week without fail here in the UK! I'm a blessed mama to two children, and would love to learn more about how you explain/encourage/teach minimalism to children on your blog. Also, your top tips in balancing your health with motherhood, being a wife, church commitments & everything in between!
#backtofall I would like to see family stories, even old or traditional stories that belong to your family for the different seasons!! This video was very inspiring to me in the last part! Thank you
"It is Well With My Soul" is one of my absolute favorites too!!! My sister who is a musician sang this at her husband's celebration of life after battling years of cancer. I cried along with you! Im truly looking forward to following your website and learning together. One of my favorite videos you posted were the garden ones. You inspired me so much!!! I also love the coffee recipes, organization and most of all the real life love!!! I drank a chocolate cold brew coffee while I watched for this wonderfully inspirational decorating video. #BacktoFall
#backtofall All the seasonal things! The stories behind the recipes, the trinkets of decor, and those types of little moments! And of course everything else, the clothing insp. + gardening too!
Love your tone and style! I'd love to view recipes, capsule wardrobe suggestions, thrift finds and style, kid oriented tips, gardening, household organization and of course printables for home routines!
#Backtofall I'm so happy fall is on its way, it is also my favorite season! I would love to see fall and holiday recipes, motherhood articles and outfit inspiration!!! So excited for you and so grateful that I found your channel ❤❤
Congrats on your upcoming website launch! Seasonal recipes, including cozy drinks would be an amazing add. Tips on gardening would be helpful too. #backtofall
The old candy corn stuck to your decor was funny!😂 I love the wooden season signs from your Grandma - so special💛
There is nothing like a move without a little excitement in every package! 📦 We have the same pumpkin canister and use it every year! We like to mix candy corn and peanuts together! -Delicious! I loved that you had so many sentimental touches throughout all of your decor. It is a beautiful way to decorate. I look forward to seeing more of your recipes, remolding, homesteading, and guides to minimalism. #BacktoFall 🍁.
I've been watching your videos since the boys were toddlers and your fall content has always been my absolute favorite! Thanks for all that you do! #backtofall
#backtofall my favorite time of the year! I’d like to see 1) fall inspired recipes 2) home decluttering/minimalism
I was just telling my children the story of Haratio Spafford who wrote "It is Well". I couldn't tell it without crying. And then as we sang this verse, it hit me anew what Christ has done for me !"My sin, oh the bliss, of this glorious thought. My sin, not in part, but the whole. Is nailed to his cross and I bear it no more. Praise the Lord, praise the Lord Oh my soul!....
That Christ hath regarded my helpless estate, and hath shed His own blood for my soul!"
Hi, Natalie! Really enjoy your decorating style, recipes, homeschool hints and childcare techniques, farm and garden(looking forward to chickens!), cleaning and organizing....all of it! #back to school!! So excited for new opportunities for you!
That plaque you found with the song on it is definitely a sign from your grandma!🙏💗
My grandmother has the same set of little pilgrims! They're part of her Thanksgiving table centerpiece every year and I love them so much! 🧡
Love the #Backtofall series. Central CA it is still going to be in the 100º weather this next week, so I am living vicariously through your videos.🍂 Can't wait for all the yummy recipes and fun thrift store hauls on your blog and TH-cam channel. Your videos have helped me purge a lot of random stuff we never use, while also being more mindful of what I'm purchasing and bringing into our space, so grateful for finding your channel. 💛
#backtofall
I’m so excited about all of your ideas for the website! Most excited for your recipes and homesteading advice! Would also love anything you’d like to share about home design and styling as you renovate different parts of your home. Love your heart and all you do! You make me excited to be a mom and own a home one day💛
I’d love to see more recipes and minimalism content. Homesteading and homeschooling as well! Love your videos especially your fall videos. 😍 And I love the hymn it is well! We actually had it sung at our wedding. A very unusual wedding song but it’s a special song to me as well. And everyone was very blessed by the song.
Yay!!! So excited about the website!!! I have learned so much from you in regards to decluttering, keeping up with things in my home, and acceptance of where we are, and being okay with that..... I would LOVE to hear how you manage the harder days in motherhood. I know you don't like to share the children's experiences but to know you how to handle the mama side of things I am sure would be so helpful!!! #backtofall
#backtofall more decluttering, gardening, meals etc... Thankyou for your content. So peaceful and uplifting 😀
Ahhh I can‘t wait to feel more of those Natty-Vibes 🥰 no matter what you are writing or talking about- i love it! ✨ i would loooove to read about a cozy fall routine, some minimal closing ideas and maybe about diy/ low budget decor - just to give some inspiration. But as I said, I love it all. Wish you all the best for the start in your (and mine too) favorite season. Sending you lovely greetings from Germany, Lisa 🍂🍃
#backtofall
Yay!! I’m so excited for your website Natalie!!
I love recipes, blog posts, outfits inspo, minimalism. I’m excited for whatever you want to share. I love fall too and love having this to look forward to.
#backtofall
Hi Natalie. Really enjoy the tranquility and peace of your a autumn videos. I always save them to watch when it's quiet in the house, just to savour the vibe. Really looking forward to more mommy wardrobe inspo, minimalism and frugal living as well as some updates and information around your health journey #backtofall 🍂 🍁 🍂
What adorable finds! I love the charm that the older decor items carry with them. As an adult and with my own kiddos I find I appreciate them more than I did when I was younger, as it brings the memories of my older loved ones and happy memories. Bring on the cross-stitch! 😊
One thing I have always loved about your channel is the message that living simply is okay, and that life doesn’t need to be Pinterest-worthy to be beautiful. I enjoy all of the topics you listed- recipes, gardening, living minimally, etc.
#backtofall I so enjoy your positivity and keeping it real attitude. I love all your content, esp. how to cozy up your home with not too much stuff. Highlighting an area and showing how you swap out your chosen items would be very interesting.
Loved this video!! #backtofall I would love to see recipes, cleaning routines/products, daily tidy tips, easy tips for maintaining a less cluttered space, mom looks, and anything else you choose to share!
I’m new to minimalism and fairly new to your channel and really enjoying it. I’d love to learn more about your journey into minimalism on your website. I’m excited for you that you are getting to see one of your dreams come true! Excited for printables too! “It is Well with my Soul” is a song we sang at my brother’s funeral, and to this day, (24+ yrs later), I still tear up like it was yesterday whenever I hear that song. What a precious find. #backtofall
Oh my gosh that wooden plaque! I absolutely love it. #backtofall is one of my favorite times of the year! I started following you with one of your coffee videos, so I would love seeing more of that type of content on youtube or your website
I LOVE how you make your decor so personal to you and your family! This has inspired me to be more intentional about doing the same. Thanks! 🍂
Pleasure to watch you and benefit from your mindful advices. I agree to find happiness in simple, already owned stuff. Consumerism is bombarded to us. It is good to find joy, happiness with our existing posessions. Such a good content. Thank you for sharing and being such a sweet and mindful. Lots of love and respect.
I love all your videos! As a mom of 3 I can really enjoy your "realness" when it comes to cleaning,minimalism,decluttering, etc. I would love all of that content on your blog ! Also maybe some tips/tricks on how to stay sane with home schooling. #backtofall
Natalie, such beautiful memories you are creating and cherishing! Thank you for sharing.
Video idea... As a homeschooling mother myself, I would love to see a homeschool room tour/makeover for your family. 😊
