☀️ You are my absolute favorite “vlogger” ever! I don’t know what it is but you are just so different from other youtubers! I’m obsessed with your content! I’m disappointed it took me this long into my motherhood and minimalistic journey to find your channel!
☀️ Natalie, I love how real you are! You are minimal and simple, yet messy like any real mom in the world! The little odd and ends and random things it makes me feel less like a failure. Thank you for always motivating me, inspiring me and helping me to be a better wife and mother through your experiences and actions (like these GRWM) thank you 😊
☀️I loved watching this vlog! Mostly because I was born in Seaside, Oregon and loved seeing it. I wish I could remember it but sadly I was a baby and my father was in the Coastguard so we left when I was 18 months old. I am now 40 and live on the West Coast of Florida so I am close to a beach. Your pictures just really inspired me to make the trip back to my birth place some day soon.
☀️ we love visiting Seaside too… passed Seaside there is a small beach called Arcadia beach where we always saw a lot of starfish and sea creatures and there is a small cave and waterfall… also Cannon beach is nice to visit too… if you go further and see Tillamook Cheese Factory they sell great ice cream !
I save your videos to watch during my 5am workout before heading to work in a secondary school in the UK. Love your videos and ALWAYS watch all the way through, the longer the better for me!!! I think this is the right emoji ☀
🌞 I watched it right after I got home from our family holiday so it was a bit like reliving the excitement! Really good idea to have the carpets cleaned while you're gone!
☀️ You are inspirational! ☀️ We have not taken a family trip to the ocean yet with our 5-year old and 3-year old boys… but after watching your video, I think we should soon! Love the educational box and snack box… and clean carpets and couch!! What a fabulous idea 💡!
Kim is the best. ❤️ She has great tips! I have also used actual like laundry bags where it's not the foldable hamper but it's like a bag that has the mesh that seems to work well too and takes a blessed space in the car. It also can easily get tossed inside of a garbage bag so you don't get any sand floating around the car. It Also works out nice for storage cuz I can just kind of hang it up in the garage for all summer so that it's not a big issue and you can toss in the washing machine to wash it when needed.
You make packing for a family holiday look like so much fun! I swear 🥰 I can't wait to pack for my first post lockdown family holiday thank you Natalie 😍😘
Watching while cooking. Favourite vacations were (I can't choose) our roadtrips through New England (staying in everything from airbnb, lodge, motel to hotel) and Norway (camping and log cabins). Booked nothing on both those trips, loved every minute of it!
☀️ That vacation looked wonderful! FYI...Lands End makes swim suit separates where you can get a shorts style bottom that is lined. I have two and LOVE them.
I love your outlook on life! I don't have kids and don't think they're in my future, but I LOVE watching your videos. Thank you for all the hard work you put into them! Also, I recently went on a 9-day trip and squeezed in time to deep clean my apartment beforehand. I agree with you, coming home to a clean apartment felt so good! I could just unpack and jump straight back into my regular routine without having to clean everything when I was tired from traveling.
☀️so happy y’all had fun and had chance to enjoy each other on vacation. Looked absolutely gorgeous! Def enjoyed your channels and has given me motivation to take my house back day by day. Thank you and I appreciate y’all!
☀️ still getting caught up on the videos. Love your sweet family and all of the cleaning hacks, etc. would love for your to post an update on your anxiety/mental health one day as I’m a sufferer too. You guys look healthy and happy. 😊😊😊
We were lucky enough to go to South Africa on safari with our teenage children about 20 years ago. We spent New Year’s Eve on a night game drive - it was perfect and a huge hit with everyone
Every vacation has been special in some way. We have been to every state, Canada, and Mexico. There is so much to do and see. Love living in N America!
Hi from Portland! Seaside is my old stomping grounds! It was always the teenager’s destination. Cannon Beach is the more grown up beach. Seaside is fun for the kids. Have fun!
I just found your channel from watching the Minimal Mom. I've been bingeing your videos while I clean my house today and I have to say I've really enjoyed watching your videos! I am from Oregon so I am familiar with Seaside although we usually go a little more south like Newport. Once my grandparents took me, my sister and my cousins from Florence up to Astoria over spring break. That was a pretty fun vacation.
☀️ I loved my trip to the Mayan Riviera. It was so much fun Would definitely go again. I think its spelled Xel Ha. But its a snorkeling excursion, and it was amazing!!! Plus, guacamole for breakfast lol!
☀️ we are a family of 6 and just got back from a vacation at gulf shores Alabama. I wish this video was posted before we left. I could have used some of your packing tips and motivation! You always have your act together! Glad you had a great trip. Beach vacations are the best!!!
Hi Natalie! I love starting the week off watching your new videos and I especially love when they are longer! :) I really appreciate all the time you put into shooting and editing them. You motivated me to start a minimalism journey and I have already decluttered sooo much. I am a first time mom to an 8 month old and I feel like all I do is pump, feed, change diapers, clean the house, repeat. But I love it!! Thanks again for all of your videos :)
Love this video! Genius idea to give yourself extra time to clean house before leaving for a trip! I’m inspired to declutter my garage after piling leftover wedding decor from my wedding a few months back ☀️
I’ve gone to montreal many times, some other provinces in Canada, Los angeles and Greece and non has kept a good memory in my heart so hopefully soon i’ll find a forever spot in me
☀️ Hi Natalie, glad you guys had a great family vacation. I never mind the long videos, it gets my mind off of my work for a bit and something more light hearted to listen to.
☀️ I have wonderful childhood memories of visiting my mother’s family in Australia and going to the beach. Playing in the sand and digging holes was my favorite. Thanks for all of the inspirational and encouraging videos. I love making my home beautiful and more minimal and my husband and I aspire to be parents soon hopefully ❤️ Prayers appreciated
My favorite vacation so far was 2017 my husband and I went to Surfside Beach in South Carolina. We’re going again this year but we’re renewing our vows at sunrise for our 10 Year Anniversary. And it’s a total surprise for my parents who are going with us 💛
We got some swim shorts from Kohl's we love. We got black because we do a lot of creeks. It was a really nice buy this year. We typically just used regular shorts before but I like the coverage for their bums and the fact they quick dry.
We went on a big trip out west last summer… we started in sand dunes National park and then went to all the parks in Utah and finished in Grand Tetons and Yellowstone. I LOVED that trip. My husband and I also went to New Zealand a few years ago and I’d say these two trips are tied for my favorite.
Hey Natalie thank you for being so honest and open in your content. So lately I’ve been really hard on myself and seeing your mommy mess made feel good about myself and realized I need to be kind to myself ☀️☀️☀️ Lovely family!
☀️ Loved this video! You are so real and relatable. I absolutely always make sure my house is clean before going on vacation and it makes a world of difference. I’m glad you and your family had a great time making memories.
Just recently found your channel. Really enjoying watching . 9 people in my house and a lot of stuff. I’m not a minimalist but I’ve been slowly decluttering my way through each room. I’ve always been organised and tidy but with so many people I was stating to get suffocated in things. Sentimental things are my problem but I’ve managed to get rid of a lot of it. Let’s face it when am I ever going to use old calendars from the last 10 years just because they have photos on them. I already have copies of the pics . Thanks for the inspiration. Some of the comments you’ve said in your videos has helped me look at stuff differently .
☀️ I think my favourite trip was to the Amalfi coast and Sorrento in Italy with my fiancé a few years back- it was the perfect trip! Looks like you guys had a great trip and so nice to come home to a clean house, something I need to work on 😅
Took my kids to Seaside several times when they were young. Getting away to a beach is so relaxing, even with kids but it is also great to come back to a clean house. My new favorite beach getaway is Ocean Shores, WA.
Love this video. Just what I needed today. We are also packing for very long vacation. Trying to clean and pack, everything before we leave. So this is very inspiring!!! Thank you! Glad you guys had fun at the seaside!!!☀️
☀️ I enjoy your videos so much. Energetic yet soothing at the same time. We took my son on our last family trip when he was a sophomore in high school (a long time ago). We went to Cumberland Falls here in Kentucky and rode horses, went to the Nibroc Festival in Corbin, Kentucky and hit up the huge flea market in London, Kentucky. It was a weekend filled with so many wonderful memories. I know your sweet family will treasure the memories from this trip. Blessings sweet lady 💕
Sounds fun! I just got back from a two-week road trip with my five and seven year old in my sienna van. I would say it was my favorite trip ever! We went from the bay area down the coast to Santa Barbara and San Diego. My favorite trips are always going down the coast.
I'm the same way before vacation .... Clean the house and refresh all linens. I've done Seaside myself. Quite lovely!! God bless your family time & can't wait for your next video. ❤️❤️
Most favorite missions trips: Nova Scotia, Ireland and Germany. For personal trip: most favorite was when we lived in Alaska and did a trip from Fairbanks to Valdez, Seward and Homer. It was amazing to take my parents with us.
My best friend and I (two mid-30s women) LOVE going to Disneyland. We go every year and have the best time. Aside from that, I went to England/Scotland/Wales once and it was incredible. But as an Oregonian, I'm so happy you came down for a visit!
☀️ glad you guys had some time to rest and reset, and that is a great idea to preschedule the cleaning time so you come home to a clean home we do it too…
Loved this video! ☀️ We recently got back from the beach in Alabama and it was a wonderful and relaxing vacation. And coming home to a clean house was priceless!! Glad y'all had a great time on your trip!
Very inspirational! Love your style & clothes ❤️ Trying to create more of a capsule wardrobe myself. Also, yes I do the mom hack with the running shorts too!! 🤣
I'm glad that you all had a great time together on your vacation. I loved the highlights of your vacation. Great video as always. Thanks for sharing with us! 🌞

Totally agree with you!!! So thankful for Natalie and her channel as a wife/mom! 🥰
There is nothing like coming home from a vacation to a spotless house!!!! ❤️

A 45 minute video?!?!? IM IN HEAVEN!
you are literally helping me survive...got a dumpster to do a radical declutter and your videos are giving me LIFE!!!!
☀️everything was so beautiful!!! Cleaning the carpets while you're gone must felt amazingly satisfying!!!😊😊
☀️Thanks for always being so uplifting and positive. You juat cheer up my day! Thanks for being you!
☀️ I’ve been following you for over a year now. I love how real and authentic you are!! Thanks for another awesome video.
☀️ we love visiting Seaside too… passed Seaside there is a small beach called Arcadia beach where we always saw a lot of starfish and sea creatures and there is a small cave and waterfall… also Cannon beach is nice to visit too… if you go further and see Tillamook Cheese Factory they sell great ice cream !
We love Manzanita too.
Once again, you've outdone yourself! This is the perfect video to play on repeat while I get my disaster of a house pit back together! 🧹🧽
Busy and beautiful video!! So happy you all a GREAT VACATION!

Btw I love how there is just a watermelon chilling in your living room 😆 also, seaside Oregon looks fun! ☀️

Watching while cooking.

Me EVERY time I forget a load in the washer, “Eh, it’s probably fine” lol
On the other hand, I went on vacation once and left a load in the washer, and a week later had to be humble and admit my mistake and re-wash them.
During a particularly busy couple weeks i think i rewashed the same load three times.
☀️so happy y’all had fun and had chance to enjoy each other on vacation. Looked absolutely gorgeous! Def enjoyed your channels and has given me motivation to take my house back day by day. Thank you and I appreciate y’all!
☀️ you and your videos always give me soo much motivation!! I love to be this organised!! 🥰
☀️ still getting caught up on the videos. Love your sweet family and all of the cleaning hacks, etc. would love for your to post an update on your anxiety/mental health one day as I’m a sufferer too. You guys look healthy and happy. 😊😊😊
