🎄What was your favorite hack? Want to see our special Christmas project with the Ronald McDonald House? Watch that here:ua-cam.com/video/afQSEnABBM8/v-deo.html
I have quite a bit of small diy’s that I’ve been doing to mail to you! It should be in the mail by tomorrow or Sat. Hope you & everyone at RM House enjoy them!❤
I loved your helping out in your community and showing your kids how to be human. In fact you could do a whole series on it. None of us are getting out of here alive, so we might as well help each other out. I think of all the folks out there who are experiencing homelessness or might be in a new place with no furniture, baby items, etc. that could really benefit from your expertise and kind heart.
More good than evil, but the evil are louder than the good. Past time to change that ! Made me cry that you shared your good deeds and your sincere heart.
Thanks to you and your family for helping the hurricane victims. My son lives just outside Northport His home survived. Just his lanai and all the trees were destroyed. He and his wife helped their neighbors. They found food to feed them and helped cleanup. They took their elderly neighbor in until relatives were found.
Thank you so much for sharing your experience of helping with Ian clean up. Such depressing, frightening, godless news and violence every day and we need these messages to lift us up and lighten our heart's burdens. God bless you and yours and all those who selflessly step in and help others. America needs more of this!
Love that you showed us you and your boys helping. Made me tear up when your son came on and seemed proud to be helping his community. So amazing the life lessons you are teaching them! They will no doubt be some great well rounded boys! XOXO
You should never feel bad about sharing things like helping others. Thank you for being such a kind and thoughtful person and for encouraging people to be loving towards one another. ❤️
I am so glad you shared your service. It made me think of Mr. Roger's quote, “When I was a boy and I would see scary things in the news, my mother would say to me, ‘Look for the helpers. You will always find people who are helping.’”
I certainly enjoyed all your “hacks”. You are always so creative. But, my favorite part was your family helping others after hurricane Ian. You are obviously instilling great values in your children and it is wonderful to see some positivity replacing the negativity. Thanks for sharing your experience.
We used to take our boys on missions with us. They are young men now and often thank us for the experience. God bless you and your family for all you do! Many blessings.
I think it’s great you showed your family’s service for hurricane relief, those are the experiences they’ll remember. Your boys are really cute. Love the snowball centerpiece.
That reminded me of helping cleaning up hurricanes Katrina and Ike in Houston when I was a teenager. The hurricanes each hit Friday/Saturday. We had an incredibly short service on Sunday and then went directly out to help the rest of the day. Thanks for helping and thanks for sharing
On those lanterns you could use a battery operated candle instead of an actual candle, especially if you have small children. That way you could still use hot glue. They’re really cute. I loved the pink pillow! Bless you for your help down south! My kids went down for about a week and helped lots of people right Ian hit. They are going to need help for a long time. I feel blessed that we were spared here in Live Oak. I love your top, btw!!
#4. We have to cut down our huge old maple tree next week and I’m so sad. He was “Friend Tree” to our kids and grandson, and my mother loved watching the birds out of the window as she spent the last days of her life here with us. This is such a great idea for keeping a piece of the tree around forever that I never thought of. Thanks for the idea. And kudos to you for involving your kids in the hurricane clean up. Helping others is a great opportunity to foster compassion, empathy, and service.
Praise the Lord for your Family giving other's Hope by giving of yourselves....What a excellent teachable moment for your children....God Bless you all.
I ❤️that you are working with Ronald McDonald house. When my nephew got severely burned. They helped him and my sister. They provided her with a place to stay, food to eat. What ever she needed. They are a blessing. Nothing to worry about except getting your family member better. Anything that you needed, they provided it. All of your projects are beautiful! Awesome job on everything. Thank you Natalie for all that you do for us.
Wow! Such an AMAZING Mom! Teaching your boys that today people need to see Jesus with skin on! What an amazing way to teach them service. Totally warms my heart! 💜 Oh my goodness THANK YOU for sharing that! The best part of this episode! Hugs 🤗❤️
Hi Natalee. The sign on your fireplace says “Be the light”…and I really think you are. Your kindness and care shines through everything you do. Thanks for the beautiful ideas and reminding me of the value of cherishing humanity.
Great Christmas hacks. Love your sweater by the way. I'm so glad you shared the hurricane clean up with everyone...your boys worked so hard, they are awesome ❤️. I love all the things you're doing for the Ronald McDonald House. That's a special way to show love and support for families going through a horrible ordeal, no matter what time of year it is, but especially at Christmas. We spent many weeks before and after Christmas at the hospital with my brother when he was five, not knowing if he was going to make it. So I know how important that is. 50 years later, he is fine and the father of twin girls. Every one of the hacks were beautiful. If I had to pick a favorite, they would be the lanterns and the snowball centerpiece. Thanks Natalee for the inspiration.
Thank you for sharing your family’s work, and thank you for helping the SW FL community. The damage from hurricane Ian is definitely hard to see. Love all these projects but the lanterns are super cute!
Great diy hacks. A wonderful gesture in giving back to the people in need and for your home town from your family. You are awesome and caring. Thank you for sharing this with us.
Thank you for sharing! I live in Ft Myers and the devastation is everywhere! We all appreciate the help and support of everyone who has come to help our community! Your son did a great job and we appreciate him! Thank you so very much! Many blessings to you and your beautiful family!
I’m so glad you helped and shared with your children. I agree that it is absolutely time for all to help each other instead of tearing each other down.
Thank you for sharing the clean-up and how special it feels to reach out to those in distress. I did miss you and was concerned my notification bell was broken! I love the lanterns, but the snowballs are my favorite! I see those globes all the time in Goodwill and don't give them a second look....I will be grabbing some for sure to do your DIY! Have a great weekend!
I love that your family was able to go and help with cleanup from the hurricane. That's a great lesson to instill in your children. All the items you worked on today look great!!!
I'm so happy you shared that very special moment with us! seeing you take your young boys along was such a core building experience. It definitely gives me hope because what we're seeing in so many young people lately is devastating. Per usual, all of these DIY'S are fantastic, I loved the lanterns and the globes were magical ✨️ The Christmas tree stand was brilliant as well. You never cease to amaze me.
Great Diys as always♡ but the part I really loved was the moment your husband presented the church with that beautiful momento. That was so touching. Thank you for sharing that.
Thanks for sharing the video of the hurricane clean up and I love your reasoning. Our youth of today definitely should learn that lesson. As you said, the media is lacking in positive stories. Great video, I watch and like often, but rarely comment.
Once again you have left me with my head spinning! Lol. Loved everything! But loved seeing your family pitching in and helping other folks in a time of need when you didn’t have to and more especially when your home was spared! Brought tears to my eyes! Also great morals & values to teach those babies. Thank you for sharing with us boo!!
Ms. N....thank you not only for your amazing DIY talent that you share with us on the reg, BUT for your (and family's) service in helping others, in this case for the clean-up after Hurricane IAN. Service is one of the most valuable lessons we can teach our children. Love the snowball centerpiece and the mini trees. As always, great VLOG and if you are watching and have NOT subscribed please do so! Ms. Natalie not only delivers the basics of DIY but does so in her own friendly, full on glam, you can DO IT way! Thank you!
Great video. I wanted to reiterate what another commenter said. Your boys will remember you helping others even when they are grown. My adult son still talks about us preparing food for homeless folks that our church used to bring in during the winter.
We live in Fort Myers and feel so blessed by the outreach from Florida and throughout the country. Thank you to your family and Church community. I always enjoy your projects and talent. God Bless you.
It's wonderful to have your boys volunteer and give back to the community. It will be something that will grow with them! Thank you for sharing and showing your beautiful hacks!!
I thought about you and your family and i am glad that you were not hit hard by the hurricane. Bravo to you and your son for the help you gave to a community that needed it.
Thank you for sharing your trip to SW. Florida cleanup. Never to early to take your children along in such a helpful service to others. Great job mom. Love all your hacks. I love the lanterns best. So simple but so festive. God bless. Just me Bea
Natalie I have been watching you for a few years and love every episode but this one really touched me. Thanks for being an awesome Mom and teaching your children to show love and kindness to all people regardless of race, beliefs, political party etc. I hope you and your family continue to stay blessed! ♥️♥️
I have to say what an awesome Mom you are for instilling in your kids good values. In today's day and age I believe that kids are not taught to think of others so I say thank you for sharing your misson trip to help with hurricane clean up. I live close to you and we were very lucky to just have some flooding compared to those that suffered so much loss of home and possibly family. I also love watching your videos every week and want you to know what an amazing job you do!! Again, thank you for being such an awesome DIYer and wonderful person. Look forward to the next fantastic video.
I loved the clean up footage Natalee. It made me cry a little. It's great to see your family come together to help others. Teaching them great values for their lives. Good parenting! Loved the Christmas projects. God bless
I love how you provide super simple hacks like the amaryllis and the small pine trees that anyone can do but look great and you also build things giving more advanced DIYers ideas. I ADORE the velvet pillow you made.
I love the DIYs, but I thank you for sharing y’all’s work in hurricane-hit areas. We flooded during Hurricane Harvey and two years later in Tropical Storm Imelda. We could not have moved forward without the help and generosity of people like you, and we’ll never forget it. 😊
Thank you for sharing the video of your family helping with the hurricane cleaning. We live along the gulf coast and have seen this kind of weather related devestation too many times
Thank you for sharing your mission to help in So. Florida. It is wonderful that your sons are learning about service at such a young age❤ All the hacks were super fun! Ty
Love all of your ideas but I'd have to say the Christmas pillows were absolutely beautiful. I'm so glad that you included your trip to South Florida. God bless you and your family.
I love the Christmas tree box but my favorite are the candle stick lanterns. Service is a wonderful thing no matter the age and your kids will remember that experience.
Hi Natalee, I really love this episode. You are so right in trying to encourage your kids to help people out like in this video. I think you and your family are beautiful loving people who has been taught to help other when they need help Which is a credit to you parents too. I am glad you put that part in this video. I have tried to instill the same values in my kids and my grand children too. I love that you used a piece of that tree as a reminder of the day you went to help out after that dreadful hurricane Ian. I have lived through hurricanes every year in Nova Scotia for 19 years we lived there there was one i will never forget because we had two storms that year that left our neighbourhood in such disarray that it took the community a while to clean up the devastation left behind. the first one was called Juan that hit us head on and it was so scary because a piece of our roof came off a whole section it blew our soffit out and it damaged trees all over the area, Unfortunately one of our first responders an ambulance driver was killed that year he was getting ready to exit the vehicle when a tree fell right on top of the Ambulance luckily his partner had already got out. Then months later we got hit with White Juan that froze everything there was snow all the way up our front door and we had to dig our way out with the help of some of our neighbours and friends. The wind howled all night long. there was snow that covered up our bedroom windows, i thought it was still dark till i looked at my clock. I know how scary hurricane can be. The Maritimes always gets pommeled every year. one or two really big storms. I loved all the hacks you did on this video the snow ball one is especially touching. God bless you and your family who worked so hard helping others. You restore faith in humanity when people like you are willing to travel to help others i wish there were more people in the world like you.
Love everything you showed today. My favorite was the hurricane relief project. You are an amazing lady. I love that you are bringing up your kids to give to others. 💜
You work so hard for others, remember we will still be here if you need a break to focus your energies elsewhere❣️My favourite hack are the globes. And once again thank you for putting in the leg work at IKEA, it is very much appreciated. IKEA is simultaneously fun and overwhelming 🤣 I may put in a journey this weekend now I have had your preview.
OK so my favorite part! Was your family going to helping we don’t care enough nowadays about other people we just care about ourselves and it warms my heart and my soul that she went to help but that you took your kids and showed them what devastation was done to your community and how they could help even if it was nothing more than raking leaves for somebody that was devastated that was a huge, huge accomplishment! So that has to be my favorite part of your video!!
Your family is amazing!!! You are amazing!! I love all of the projects you do and I am a huge advocate for the Ronald McDonald house projects. We have used the Ronald McDonald housing during two very long medical issues with two children. Thank you for everything you do!!!!! Everything. May. god richly bless you and your family
Great hacks as always. I'm glad you took your boys to help with the hurricane clean up. It's so good for them to learn at a early age to be compassionate and service oriented. They're super cute, too. The cut tree circle makes a special reminder Andis beautiful, too. 👍❤️
I liked all of the crafts but i have to say my fav was the snow globe on top of that tree round...not only is it a memory of your familys service to the world comunity but it looks so beautifly festive...i just love it...i am thinking of making this for a centre piece for my adopted family in Cabo who have never seen snow before...thank you so much for all your creativity and making me feel like i can do this!..oh and also making me feel powerful enough to buy my own power tools!!🙌💚💚💚
Thank you Natalie for these ideas and for sharing the video of y’all going and helping do clean up. We have all forgotten how to help our neighbors even if they are not our direct neighbors. Thank you for being so genuine. ❤️
Thank you so much for sharing your trip to help those affected by the hurricane. This was beautiful to see. Your son is so beautiful and such a hard worker. We do need to show that there is good in the world. Thank you❤
Thank you for sharing your selfless act of helping in hurricane relief. Your channel should be used to raise people up and that includes reminding people to step out and offer help any way you can.
I have said before how awesome your talent is for making beautiful things, but you and your family absolutely amaze me. You are s thoughtful and kind to reach out to the less fortunate that need some help and that so they know that someone cares. And even your sweet boys helping too!!
These diys are amazing. Love the lanterns and I am planning to recreate. I think it's amazing that your family went out to help the communities that needed it. Thank you for sharing that with us.
Thank you for sharing your video helping others. Yes, we should be focusing on the goodness of humankind. You not only restore/strengthen or belief in humanity but also provide an example of raising strong, empathetic children.
I loved the snowball centerpiece and with meaning. Im in Sarasota Fl and Ian was devastating. Thank you and your family for helping. We will never forget. Btw I think your a GENIUS
Thanks for sharing your family helping out people effected by the hurricane. It is so good to see that and it is a great reminder to us all to remember that we all have a role to support and serve other people. Big hug to you.
Thank you for serving and showing us! Let's shout out the good in the world! Our church does a yearly Serve Day where we forgo Sunday morning service to serve our local community. From building wheelchair ramps and packing dried meals to cleaning and painting our local elementary school. We do our best when we (and our children) serve others! We make great strides showing the love of Jesus when we care for others!
Awww, your winded son stole my ❤. Great job to all of you. You should be proud and own the fact you are amazing, caring, giving, loving people. There are a lot of talkers but then there are the doers. Thank you for sharing!
It's always almost impossible to choose a favorite from any of your episodes. That being said, I loved the lanterns because I always say you can NEVER have too many lanterns! I guess a trip to Ikea is in my future.
Loved all of the hacks but I really love the snowball one with the piece of tree!! Thank you for the video of your trip south to help. Teaching your boys about working to help others was so very uplifting!!
Thanks for including your family serving others, it's is so rewarding! Love the tree slice that had a rose and the piece you kept and made the snowball decor on, so sweet! Blessings to your family NataLee!
Oh thank you for sharing your church helping church. I wish I was young again to help others. I pray for others but I miss the doing for others to many health issues. God bless you.
Not only did I enjoy seeing your creative hacks, but this video was an especially positive one because or your Ronald McDonald House efforts and hurricane assistance.
What a great episode! And thank you for showing your family working to help a church recover and clean up. The positive needs to show up and show out! Why not? There is so much positivity out there, we just don't see it enough. Thanks for all the great inspiration, Nataly, you are awesome!!! My favourite were the lanterns and the Amaryllis, I really loved that them. I'd love to do all of them actually.
🎄What was your favorite hack? Want to see our special Christmas project with the Ronald McDonald House? Watch that here:ua-cam.com/video/afQSEnABBM8/v-deo.html
I have quite a bit of small diy’s that I’ve been doing to mail to you! It should be in the mail by tomorrow or Sat.
Hope you & everyone at RM House enjoy them!❤
The lanterns always get me! 💡 ❤💡
I loved the Christmas tree box. And I am so impressed with the RM House decorations. They are beautiful and look like the designer you are.
My favorite was the snowball centerpiece. I’m going to do this for my table this year. Great idea Natalee.
I loved your helping out in your community and showing your kids how to be human. In fact you could do a whole series on it. None of us are getting out of here alive, so we might as well help each other out. I think of all the folks out there who are experiencing homelessness or might be in a new place with no furniture, baby items, etc. that could really benefit from your expertise and kind heart.
More good than evil, but the evil are louder than the good. Past time to change that ! Made me cry that you shared your good deeds and your sincere heart.
So glad you shared the hurricane cleanup with us!! You and your family are just so special!! This just makes us love you more!! ❤
So great to see your kids helping. They'll remember that their entire lives and hopefully encourage that caring into adulthood. Good job, Mom!
YES! ❤️
Yes, thank you so much for sharing this footage! The boys did such a good job helping out!
Thanks to you and your family for helping the hurricane victims. My son lives just outside Northport
His home survived. Just his lanai and all the trees were destroyed. He and his wife helped their neighbors. They found food to feed them and helped cleanup. They took their elderly neighbor in until relatives were found.
Thank you so much for sharing your experience of helping with Ian clean up. Such depressing, frightening, godless news and violence every day and we need these messages to lift us up and lighten our heart's burdens. God bless you and yours and all those who selflessly step in and help others. America needs more of this!
Loved the service segment. Children NEVER too young to learn the value of service and giving!
Love that you showed us you and your boys helping. Made me tear up when your son came on and seemed proud to be helping his community. So amazing the life lessons you are teaching them! They will no doubt be some great well rounded boys! XOXO
I teared up at that part too! :-)
You should never feel bad about sharing things like helping others. Thank you for being such a kind and thoughtful person and for encouraging people to be loving towards one another. ❤️
Thank you so much!
Natalee, thank you for sharing a piece of your family life with us.
I am so glad you shared your service. It made me think of Mr. Roger's quote, “When I was a boy and I would see scary things in the news, my mother would say to me, ‘Look for the helpers. You will always find people who are helping.’”
I certainly enjoyed all your “hacks”. You are always so creative. But, my favorite part was your family helping others after hurricane Ian.

I think it’s great you showed your family’s service for hurricane relief, those are the experiences they’ll remember. Your boys are really cute. Love the snowball centerpiece.
You did a great job on these hacks. Thanks for teaching your child to serve Christ through serving others, Proud of all of you.
That reminded me of helping cleaning up hurricanes Katrina and Ike in Houston when I was a teenager. The hurricanes each hit Friday/Saturday. We had an incredibly short service on Sunday and then went directly out to help the rest of the day. Thanks for helping and thanks for sharing
On those lanterns you could use a battery operated candle instead of an actual candle, especially if you have small children. That way you could still use hot glue. They’re really cute.
I loved the pink pillow!
Bless you for your help down south! My kids went down for about a week and helped lots of people right Ian hit. They are going to need help for a long time. I feel blessed that we were spared here in Live Oak.
I love your top, btw!!
Thanks for the tip! Should have thought of that! LOL. Here's the top: amzn.to/3CShYNc
Exactly...
It's very bad to put something on the top, where all the heat goes from a real candle. It could end up with a fire 🔥 😩
#4. We have to cut down our huge old maple tree next week and I’m so sad. He was “Friend Tree” to our kids and grandson, and my mother loved watching the birds out of the window as she spent the last days of her life here with us. This is such a great idea for keeping a piece of the tree around forever that I never thought of. Thanks for the idea. And kudos to you for involving your kids in the hurricane clean up. Helping others is a great opportunity to foster compassion, empathy, and service.
Praise the Lord for your Family giving other's Hope by giving of yourselves....What a excellent teachable moment for your children....God Bless you all.
I ❤️that you are working with Ronald McDonald house. When my nephew got severely burned. They helped him and my sister. They provided her with a place to stay, food to eat. What ever she needed.

Wow! Such an AMAZING Mom! Teaching your boys that today people need to see Jesus with skin on! What an amazing way to teach them service. Totally warms my heart! 💜 Oh my goodness THANK YOU for sharing that! The best part of this episode! Hugs 🤗❤️
I did enjoy watching your church helping others. It’s true we need to serve others and you’re teaching your boys a wonderful thing
Thank you for sharing the beautiful clip of help with the hurricane clean up!!! 🙏❤
Thank you !
Hi Natalee. The sign on your fireplace says “Be the light”…and I really think you are. Your kindness and care shines through everything you do. Thanks for the beautiful ideas and reminding me of the value of cherishing humanity.
Oh thank you!
Great Christmas hacks. Love your sweater by the way. I'm so glad you shared the hurricane clean up with everyone...your boys worked so hard, they are awesome ❤️. I love all the things you're doing for the Ronald McDonald House. That's a special way to show love and support for families going through a horrible ordeal, no matter what time of year it is, but especially at Christmas. We spent many weeks before and after Christmas at the hospital with my brother when he was five, not knowing if he was going to make it. So I know how important that is. 50 years later, he is fine and the father of twin girls.
Every one of the hacks were beautiful. If I had to pick a favorite, they would be the lanterns and the snowball centerpiece. Thanks Natalee for the inspiration.
LOVE the white, snowy globes and that wood base.
Thank you for sharing your family’s work, and thank you for helping the SW FL community. The damage from hurricane Ian is definitely hard to see. Love all these projects but the lanterns are super cute!
Great diy hacks. A wonderful gesture in giving back to the people in need and for your home town from your family. You are awesome and caring. Thank you for sharing this with us.
Thank you so much!
The center piece that you made with the "snowballs" on top of the wood slice was so beautiful. Loved it.
Thank you for sharing! I live in Ft Myers and the devastation is everywhere! We all appreciate the help and support of everyone who has come to help our community! Your son did a great job and we appreciate him! Thank you so very much! Many blessings to you and your beautiful family!
Our pleasure!
I’m so glad you helped and shared with your children. I agree that it is absolutely time for all to help each other instead of tearing each other down.
Thank you for sharing the clean-up and how special it feels to reach out to those in distress. I did miss you and was concerned my notification bell was broken! I love the lanterns, but the snowballs are my favorite! I see those globes all the time in Goodwill and don't give them a second look....I will be grabbing some for sure to do your DIY! Have a great weekend!
Thank you so much! UA-cam isn't very good about notifications I have determined. I do at least weekly content... so always feel free to check in. =)
Thumbs up to doing the good in the world and for teaching your children the value of caring about others.
I love that your family was able to go and help with cleanup from the hurricane. That's a great lesson to instill in your children. All the items you worked on today look great!!!
Thank you so much!
I'm so happy you shared that very special moment with us! seeing you take your young boys along was such a core building experience. It definitely gives me hope because what we're seeing in so many young people lately is devastating.

Once again you have left me with my head spinning! Lol. Loved everything! But loved seeing your family pitching in and helping other folks in a time of need when you didn’t have to and more especially when your home was spared! Brought tears to my eyes! Also great morals & values to teach those babies. Thank you for sharing with us boo!!
Thanks so much!!
I really enjoyed you sharing the part of your family helping with the clean up. Your children will never forget and will be better for it.
I cannot agree with you more! Positivity and Caring will shout so much louder on this platform!
Ms. N....thank you not only for your amazing DIY talent that you share with us on the reg, BUT for your (and family's) service in helping others, in this case for the clean-up after Hurricane IAN.

Great job mom and dad for showing your kids what it means to be part of a community. My favorite hack was the red lanterns.
Be careful of the scammer using her pic!

Thanks for being an awesome Mom and teaching your children to show love and kindness to all people regardless of race, beliefs, political party etc. I hope you and your family continue to stay blessed! ♥️♥️
You did the right thing to share your kindness project with us! What a memory for your kids! You guys are so special but that is not news to us!
Thanks for sharing the family service to others.
You are a wonderful lady raising your children well! Great job.
I have to say what an awesome Mom you are for instilling in your kids good values. In today's day and age I believe that kids are not taught to think of others so I say thank you for sharing your misson trip to help with hurricane clean up. I live close to you and we were very lucky to just have some flooding compared to those that suffered so much loss of home and possibly family. I also love watching your videos every week and want you to know what an amazing job you do!! Again, thank you for being such an awesome DIYer and wonderful person.

So many great ideas. Loving those snowballs. Thank you for sharing

Be careful of the scammer using her pic!
YOU ARE SUCH A CLASSY LADY!!!
Thank you for sharing your talents!
Thank you so much!
You are such a great mom and human being. I loved this video. The Christmas tree box is awesome!
I love how you provide super simple hacks like the amaryllis and the small pine trees that anyone can do but look great and you also build things giving more advanced DIYers ideas. I ADORE the velvet pillow you made.
Those were such fun Christmas hacks. Thank you and your family for help those who were devastated by the hurricane.
I want to say thank you for sharing it's wonderful that you're teaching your children to give back and it was a wonderful showing of solidarity
Thank you so much!
I love the DIYs, but I thank you for sharing y’all’s work in hurricane-hit areas. We flooded during Hurricane Harvey and two years later in Tropical Storm Imelda. We could not have moved forward without the help and generosity of people like you, and we’ll never forget it. 😊
Thank you for sharing the video of your family helping with the hurricane cleaning. We live along the gulf coast and have seen this kind of weather related devestation too many times
Sorry to hear that! It was truly humbling to see.
Thank you for sharing your mission to help in So. Florida. It is wonderful that your sons are learning about service at such a young age❤
All the hacks were super fun! Ty
Love all of your ideas but I'd have to say the Christmas pillows were absolutely beautiful. I'm so glad that you included your trip to South Florida. God bless you and your family.
Thank you so much!
I love the Christmas tree box but my favorite are the candle stick lanterns. Service is a wonderful thing no matter the age and your kids will remember that experience.

Amen - good for y’all- proud to see serving hearts- Florida stayed in our prayers
Hi Natalee, I really love this episode. You are so right in trying to encourage your kids to help people out like in this video. I think you and your family are beautiful loving people who has been taught to help other when they need help Which is a credit to you parents too. I am glad you put that part in this video. I have tried to instill the same values in my kids and my grand children too. I love that you used a piece of that tree as a reminder of the day you went to help out after that dreadful hurricane Ian. I have lived through hurricanes every year in Nova Scotia for 19 years we lived there there was one i will never forget because we had two storms that year that left our neighbourhood in such disarray that it took the community a while to clean up the devastation left behind. the first one was called Juan that hit us head on and it was so scary because a piece of our roof came off a whole section it blew our soffit out and it damaged trees all over the area, Unfortunately one of our first responders an ambulance driver was killed that year he was getting ready to exit the vehicle when a tree fell right on top of the Ambulance luckily his partner had already got out. Then months later we got hit with White Juan that froze everything there was snow all the way up our front door and we had to dig our way out with the help of some of our neighbours and friends. The wind howled all night long. there was snow that covered up our bedroom windows, i thought it was still dark till i looked at my clock. I know how scary hurricane can be. The Maritimes always gets pommeled every year. one or two really big storms. I loved all the hacks you did on this video the snow ball one is especially touching. God bless you and your family who worked so hard helping others. You restore faith in humanity when people like you are willing to travel to help others i wish there were more people in the world like you.
Wow! Scary! Glad you are okay. Thank you for your kind words!
Love everything you showed today. My favorite was the hurricane relief project. You are an amazing lady. I love that you are bringing up your kids to give to others. 💜
Becareful of the scammer using her pic!
You work so hard for others, remember we will still be here if you need a break to focus your energies elsewhere❣️My favourite hack are the globes. And once again thank you for putting in the leg work at IKEA, it is very much appreciated. IKEA is simultaneously fun and overwhelming 🤣 I may put in a journey this weekend now I have had your preview.
OK so my favorite part! Was your family going to helping we don’t care enough nowadays about other people we just care about ourselves and it warms my heart and my soul that she went to help but that you took your kids and showed them what devastation was done to your community and how they could help even if it was nothing more than raking leaves for somebody that was devastated that was a huge, huge accomplishment! So that has to be my favorite part of your video!!
What u shares brought tears to me ! As a mother seeing how proud u are if your boys and how hard they work ! There are hero’s 🙏🇨🇦❤️
Your family is amazing!!! You are amazing!! I love all of the projects you do and I am a huge advocate for the Ronald McDonald house projects. We have used the Ronald McDonald housing during two very long medical issues with two children. Thank you for everything you do!!!!! Everything. May. god richly bless you and your family
Great hacks as always. I'm glad you took your boys to help with the hurricane clean up. It's so good for them to learn at a early age to be compassionate and service oriented. They're super cute, too. The cut tree circle makes a special reminder Andis beautiful, too. 👍❤️
Absolutely!! Thank you!
What a beautiful gift in giving back to others. Thank you for sharing the clean up. That was very touching. Thank you for all the ikea ideas.
Thank you so much!
I liked all of the crafts but i have to say my fav was the snow globe on top of that tree round...not only is it a memory of your familys service to the world comunity but it looks so beautifly festive...i just love it...i am thinking of making this for a centre piece for my adopted family in Cabo who have never seen snow before...thank you so much for all your creativity and making me feel like i can do this!..oh and also making me feel powerful enough to buy my own power tools!!🙌💚💚💚
It’s great that you share your faith and showing that caring about others takes into us a very nice and amazing reward, gratitude. ❤ blessings.
Thank you Natalie for these ideas and for sharing the video of y’all going and helping do clean up. We have all forgotten how to help our neighbors even if they are not our direct neighbors. Thank you for being so genuine. ❤️

Always enjoy all of your projects. These were great hugs!
Thank you for sharing your selfless act of helping in hurricane relief. Your channel should be used to raise people up and that includes reminding people to step out and offer help any way you can.
Honestly they were all great but I absolutely need to make the snowball centerpiece! So awesome for the whole winter!
I have said before how awesome your talent is for making beautiful things, but you and your family absolutely amaze me. You are s thoughtful and kind to reach out to the less fortunate that need some help and that so they know that someone cares. And even your sweet boys helping too!!
These diys are amazing. Love the lanterns and I am planning to recreate. I think it's amazing that your family went out to help the communities that needed it. Thank you for sharing that with us.
Thanks for sharing churches helping churches. Got me teary.
Thank you for sharing your video helping others. Yes, we should be focusing on the goodness of humankind. You not only restore/strengthen or belief in humanity but also provide an example of raising strong, empathetic children.
Wow. Thank you 🙏
I loved the snowball centerpiece and with meaning. Im in Sarasota Fl and Ian was devastating. Thank you and your family for helping. We will never forget. Btw I think your a GENIUS
It’s wonderful that you & your family spent a day helping those folks! May God bless you for your service & compassion!!
Thanks for sharing your family helping out people effected by the hurricane. It is so good to see that and it is a great reminder to us all to remember that we all have a role to support and serve other people. Big hug to you.
Thank you for serving and showing us! Let's shout out the good in the world! Our church does a yearly Serve Day where we forgo Sunday morning service to serve our local community. From building wheelchair ramps and packing dried meals to cleaning and painting our local elementary school. We do our best when we (and our children) serve others! We make great strides showing the love of Jesus when we care for others!
Awww, your winded son stole my ❤. Great job to all of you. You should be proud and own the fact you are amazing, caring, giving, loving people. There are a lot of talkers but then there are the doers. Thank you for sharing!
It's always almost impossible to choose a favorite from any of your episodes. That being said, I loved the lanterns because I always say you can NEVER have too many lanterns! I guess a trip to Ikea is in my future.
🥰🙏💕
Loved all of the hacks but I really love the snowball one with the piece of tree!! Thank you for the video of your trip south to help. Teaching your boys about working to help others was so very uplifting!!

Thanks for including your family serving others, it's is so rewarding! Love the tree slice that had a rose and the piece you kept and made the snowball decor on, so sweet! Blessings to your family NataLee!
The snowball basket, I would “flock” the pine, because I think it would make more sense with snowballs, to have “snow” on the pine
Love this idea!!
Oh thank you for sharing your church helping church. I wish I was young again to help others. I pray for others but I miss the doing for others to many health issues. God bless you.
Not only did I enjoy seeing your creative hacks, but this video was an especially positive one because or your Ronald McDonald House efforts and hurricane assistance.
What a great episode! And thank you for showing your family working to help a church recover and clean up. The positive needs to show up and show out! Why not? There is so much positivity out there, we just don't see it enough. Thanks for all the great inspiration, Nataly, you are awesome!!! My favourite were the lanterns and the Amaryllis, I really loved that them. I'd love to do all of them actually.
You are an amazing woman!! Thank you for sharing your hurricane clean up. Brought me to tears. I also loved all of your ideas!!
