When I was living alone, I hand washed all my dishes except for one night that I had a dinner party. There were too many dishes, so I decided to use my dishwasher. A week or so went by after the party and I couldn't find a few key pieces of cookware. I called my friends and family to see if they had accidentally taken it home after the party. No one had what was missing. Fast forward 6 or so years and I'm getting all packed up to move. I decided to opened the dishwasher on my final pass through of the kitchen, and what do you know, it was full of all those missing dishes! LOL
Lol at our old house I would "discover" that we had a dishwasher about every 6 months. I always forgot even though it wasn't exactly hidden or anything.
So funny!!! We always hand washed dishes growing up but now with baby 6 due this week I have to say, my dishwasher is my best friend 🤣. Lots of dishes here haha
When it comes to getting it all done. I live by the mantra “anything worth doing is worth doing poorly/halfway.” Do what you’re able and what can be done in a day and just be content.
My mom always enjoyed reading books written by Erma Bombeck. A humorist who wrote about being a stay at home mom. Best sellers from the 60s. My mom stayed at home and read her books and had a cup of coffee. Very witty and hysterical. Thanks for sharing your calm sweetness of your family life!
This is so good! "You don't have to raise your own cows and grow your own coffee beans in order to save money!" That's the best!!! Thank you for keeping it real and being a leader. Love this channel!
Natalie, this video was so encouraging to me. Please make more content like this 🤍You are so genuine and thank you for showing how life really is at times. I’m 11 weeks pregnant with my first, and the first trimester has been so rough for me. I haven’t cleaned, cooked, or done much of anything most of this pregnancy. I know it won’t always be like this, but as I’m laying in bed not wanting to get up, watching content like this does lift me up in so many ways. Thank you thank you 🧡
I can't think of when I've left something in the oven, but I've definitely left things in the microwave by accident! Cold coffee, veggies that never made it to the table, you name it! 💛
It’s cool here in Colorado. It’s somewhat breezy this morning. Sweater weather! 🍁🍁🍁 I came across your video while I was scrolling down my feed. I love cozy comfy vibes and that’s what you brought into my daily mornings ever since. You’re amazing!
Holy Cow! You got tons done! In fact .. we are VIEWERS that are looking for motivation because it's impossible to get it all done, like you said - with an evergrowing list! I guess the key to "all" is your mind's list for the day! Thank you for adding filming it on to your list! Love you Natalie! Hugs Rachele
🧡 Thanks for being real;) Love that you say, “Get some of it done.” It’s so refreshing to see and hear from a busy working mom what real life is…not what social media life is.
Wow! I needed this video! I want to “enjoy the season” this fall, but I feel like I’ve failed when life takes over. Thanks for showing how you made the best of things.
I’m going to be so sad if I never get to see your kids as older kids!!! I’ve been watching since hailey was about to turn 1 and it’s crazy how much they’ve grown in that time! I love you and your family! 💛💛💛💛
I had to laugh when you pulled out the forgotten squash! When my husband and I were engaged I made him supper(like a good little fiancé), and he took it back to his house to eat the leftovers. A while later we got married and got back from our honeymoon, and I went to the fridge and IT WAS STILL THERE! I threw the whole thing out and our house stunk for days! It took years for me to make that dish again.
💛 I relate so well to everything in your videos. I have twins that I homeschooled for years, love mom life and home life and church life. Sitting here recovering from Covid right now, and it’s just a feel good video to watch, so thank you, Natalie!
Such a good shift in perspective, Natalie! I love watching you, because you are always sharing God's love, positivity, and grace (for ourself and others). Thank YOU! Thank you for allowing the Holy Spirit to use you.
After my husband and I were recently married, I made a chicken pasta bake for supper one night. Nobody in my family taught me how to cook growing up, so to say that this recipe gave me anxiety to make is an understatement. Made the dish, tasted great, woke up the next morning to realize I had accidentally left it out all night on the counter. Yeah, I wanted to cry and shove the dish in the fridge and eat the leftovers anyways. Safe to say I learned a lesson that day! Always check the counters before going to bed!! Haha, real-life - just gotta embrace it!
Oh I missed these videos so much!!! And of course sometimes "get it all done" can be get some coffee and spend time with the kids and that's just perfect!!
Set a timer or an alarm to remind yourself to put whatever you left to cool away. When I forget to set a timer the next morning gets off to a rough start when I find the beans I cooked the night before still in the strainer in the sink because I didn't put them away, that can derail a meal plan real quick and I don't shift gears easily. So I always set a timer or alarm, even if I think I'll remember, more often than not I do forget and the timer going off reminds me 👍
Buckle up. Years ago we got a Magic Bullet blender for our wedding. I spent months making smoothies until the day when the cup got stuck. The cup would NOT come off the base. I stuck it in the back corner of my kitchen (before minimalism haha) and forgot about it. Much later I tried to open it and it exploded from the pressure that had built inside. EXPLODED EVERYWHERE. Two months of fermenting spinach and berries. The ceiling, the floor, the living room, me. The smell was astounding.
Hey Natalie! all the cozy warm and fuzzy feelings on your video today! Happy to be here and you are such a great momma! love to see you doing homeschooling with your boys and also I will be sure to check out your playlist I love the sound of it!!!
Thanks for being real. I was kicking myself for not being on top of it all. But life does get crazy, I took my cleaning time to help a friend in need . It will still be there later even if later is more crazy with 5 kids lol.
Dearest Natalie, Be encouraged in your wonderful channel and don't let naysayers ever get you down. The comment you got about "Getting it all done" and not getting it all done was unnecessary. You are remarkable, truly, in what you do each day. XOXO Stay blessed
Such a joyful watch. Love how realistic your get all done was. It kept it light, and sweet and motivational. I'm glad I'm not the only one leaving forgotten food in the oven!
I actually spent my first early years in Bellingham and I hadn't been back since I was 15. This summer I took a trip back up and it was so fun to revisit old haunts as an adult!
Omg your question about the grossest thing you’ve ever found was literally MADE for me. Long story short, a few years ago, I kept smelling this foul smell in my house for literal DAYS. And I couldn’t find it for the life of me. Finally it got SO bad that I literally tore my house apart. My husband (god bless him🙄) put a dirty shaker cup that he used for protein, in with our clean shaker cups. I tried washing it out which made the entire house smell AWFUL for the rest of the night. I’ve never smelled something that terrible in my life. Ended up just throwing the whole cup away. Husbands…..I swear😅🤣
You are a super mom from my perspective.!!!!!!! You can only be human! That's why we are human! I believe in what you are doing is what is right for you dear! God bless and keep it up with being real! I am a mom of only one but I have a husband who is two kids in one big adult. lol! So it's all good! Hang in there and you are a mighty mommy! Take care of yourselves and best always for you and the family! Your fan from Canada!
God bless you and your beautiful family. Your soothing voice and spirit is such a blessing and I love the honesty of the squash in the oven- my life totally!!
I love your videos! You are always real and I love that! Tell your boys that I am so happy to see them emptying the dishwasher and helping you. I just experienced a chai latte for the first time two weeks ago and am so addicted now. I have dairy issues and am also allergic to eggs. I need to figure out how to make a skinny and delicious chai latte. I love that you are "just not willing" to get it all done in a day. Your sweet little ones will be grown up too quick. Mine are 31, 27, and 15 now. Making memories is so much more important. My house was clean enough for us and I did not miss out on anything. No regrets!
Love you so much girl!!! Great coffee recipe! And yes we have left food in our oven! Broccoli 😬! And sweet potato wedges I cut up. You encourage me in my homemaking and work balance life with my three young kiddos! It’s not possible to get it all done! Thank you for speaking truth. This is the content I need.
💛Laura, from Austria/Europe. IT IS so refreshing to me, that other people forget things in the oven too. Not only me. Sometimes I wish I Could get IT all done, but as u said, I would have missed time with my daughter. Or.. sometimes IT is really nice to stay on the Couch..
Natalie you make my mondays, I get up make my coffee sit down and watch your videos! It always gives me some peace and especially with the fall season I’m living for it!
Your content is my little piece of PNW that I have left. My family and I moved back to the east coast after living in Olympia for 3 years. Watching your videos keeps me connected!
New subscriber here. 🥰 You popped up in my recommended as I was cleaning my kitchen. :) I’m a homeschool mama too. Anyway, I really enjoyed this video. And, I agree = Chobani pumpkin spice creamer is so yummy!! ☕️😋 Have a great, beautiful, and blessed weekend. 🧡🍂
Love the "real mom life" content! As a mom it makes me feel so bad when I watch moms on UA-cam portray themselves as perfect, and as super woman. I'm over here feeling like I can't get it all done, and I'm so tired lol. Thanks for the dose of reality 💛
Well I figured out what I'm making for dinner! I ordered a spaghetti squash and was given a butternut squash. Also we find grossness everywhere and I am one of the cleanest people I know. At this point it's fun finding the grossest thing between my husband and I! No need to defend yourself from bullies, you are amazing!
I always love when I take care of my future self and forget I did something like prep veggies or other food. I get so excited to see I have less work than I thought!
I love these videos and how down to earth you are Natalie. Been watching since Liam and Judah were tiny little pumpkins. You're hands down my favorite content creator on this platform.
Love you, for real! You make me feel so normal! I can forget anything if I don't write it down... Yes, even pre cooked things in the oven or in the microwave... Normalize it all!!!!
I'm watching your video at 8:30pm and that cold brew made me want to drink some coffee soo bad!!! But I didn't...or else I wouldn't be getting any sleep tonight 😂
Thank you so much for the fall playlist. I’m very thankful. I’m not great at making them but I do enjoy them so much. Such a lovely day in the life. Thank you for sharing. Got me in the fall mood…off to buy some mums!
I appreciate you being real about changing plans and adapting! Funny story - there was a terrible smell in my car. We couldn't for the life of us figure out what it was. We kept looking and found nothing. We all even thought something crawled up in the car and died. I finally took my trunk kit and normal stuff we keep in the trunk out and laid the seat down and OMG - there was a bag of 'frozen' cauliflower that fell out of the bag from my Walmart pickup ... 3 pick ups prior! I'm in farm town and it was over 110 degrees for a few months. So now I have them put all my groceries in the back seat - just to be safe! LOL. And I remember watching Sandra Lee and Semi-Homemade on Saturdays.
I definitely am not awesome, but one way I have learned how not to forget about things is I write notes to myself as reminders. And also I have learned that if I set things out where I can see them, ie that pot with butternut squash LOL, I will remember. I’ll just take it out of the oven and set it on top of the stove top. :-) I think anybody who says they remember everything all the time is a liar. We all have our strengths and weaknesses! I am loving all the autumn content! Thanks for sharing. And I love how you know to stop yourself and ENJOY your children. My boys are all teenagers now, I have three, and I was not good with this when they were younger. Pains my heart.
Girl! That is totally something I would do (and probably have done) leaving an abandoned dinner in the oven for days 😆 thank you for being so real and showing that you don't have to be perfect to be a youtuber. It's so refreshing and inspiring. I'm inspired to try harder and be better but I know it's okay to not have a "perfect" home.
I’m a grandma and I just found you! I get the grandkids often. Your recipe looks so yummy...we’re going to try that for sure!! We love Bluey in our house too! I only wish we had a Trader Joe’s nearby.
I have 2 sets of twins, identical girls and a boy and girl twin. You make staying at home look so easy with children. I'm going to try your dish. Thank you
I appreciated that you shared the squash left in the oven. Been there…done that! 😂 I do remember that show with Sandra Lee…it was great! Happy fall! This video totally got me in the mood to celebrate the season! 😀🎃 🍂
You said laundry and I immediately thought of the load I forgot to do this weekend that needed to be done before Monday morning! Thanks for the reminder ☺️
It does look better with that chunk of wall down. That's pretty ambitious to take on a kitchen and have it done by Christmas. Look forward to all the room transformations.
Thanks for keeping it real :) and reminding us we don’t have to get it all done ✔️ life happens and we adjust leave some things for another day. And that’s ok too :)
I have done that before but now a good way to be on top of things is to clean my fridge every Friday before I go grocery shopping. I have reduced the waste of food so much so it’s very worth it and save a lot of money. Not to mention that we are going through all the food too
You are so awesome and right. Nobody can do everything in one take. You have a beautiful family and Hailey just cracked me up with that "thank you for cleaning my toilet" joke. 😂💕
I love that you’re being so honest and showing us it’s okay to rest and recharge too! Who cares if you don’t get it all done, you’re a mom and not a professional cleaner. I love seeing you spend time with your kids. They grow up so fast. PS I love your content so much that while I’m waiting for the ads to play in the video I’m going over to your IG to watch your stories LOL 🤣
Oh my life I'm hunting done that playing because a big part of what I love in your videos is the music! I just got so many little bits and pieces done thank you as always xxx
I just wanted to say thank you for being so fun and relatable. I just recently discovered your channel, maybe two days ago, and I’ve already watched five videos. Anyways, I just really enjoy your content and wanted to say thanks.
21:50 One time we didn't completely clear our sink of dishes for too long. When we finally did, there was a washcloth in the bottom with a bean sprout growing from a prior meal involving beans. More embarrassing than gross, as my cousin was visiting when we discovered it!
I live in the Caribbean so it's summer the whole year round. When fruit ,bread and vegetables go bad I just throw it in the garden and all the lizards ,iguanas and birds eat it! So I don't have to throw food away😀
You are awesome, keeping it real!!! When I was first married, I got a can of beans, and it was dented, (never get a dented can), when I opened it, it EXPLODED, all over and the it was SO smelly and awful!!! WOW, I can smell it as I'm writing this and that was over 56 years ago!!! Remember, you ARE awesome!!!
Thanks!
You are TOO kind, Kryssi! This helps me continue to put our free content every week. Thanks for the support!
How do you do this to help Natalie?
@@tinamoore6352 it's the Thanks heart in the button bar that has the thumbs up
@@tinamoore6352 I only noticed it show up in the last month or so, but who knows: I could have missed it before too
LOVE that you don't truly try to "get it all done". I'm with you, we would miss out on so much if we did!!! HUGS to you and your beautiful family!
When I was living alone, I hand washed all my dishes except for one night that I had a dinner party. There were too many dishes, so I decided to use my dishwasher.

LOL
To The Person Reading This: You are loved beyond measure & not alone. I hope you have a restful, beautiful day☀️
~Love From A Lifestyle UA-camr🌿🌸
Idk what was in that coffee, but fiesty Natalie calling out the Karen's had me. I love that you keep it so real and honest! Stinky squash and all. ❤
You got everything “done” that was absolutely necessary for the day! That’s what counts and is important!
When it comes to getting it all done. I live by the mantra “anything worth doing is worth doing poorly/halfway.” Do what you’re able and what can be done in a day and just be content.
My mom always enjoyed reading books written by Erma Bombeck. A humorist who wrote about being a stay at home mom. Best sellers from the 60s. My mom stayed at home and read her books and had a cup of coffee. Very witty and hysterical. Thanks for sharing your calm sweetness of your family life!

@@lindsaykjoy that’s so cool to hear! 🤗
Maple cookies are my fav! 🍁💛 really though fall is just the best!
I can't think of when I've left something in the oven, but I've definitely left things in the microwave by accident! Cold coffee, veggies that never made it to the table, you name it! 💛
It’s cool here in Colorado. It’s somewhat breezy this morning. Sweater weather! 🍁🍁🍁 I came across your video while I was scrolling down my feed. I love cozy comfy vibes and that’s what you brought into my daily mornings ever since. You’re amazing!
Holy Cow! You got tons done! In fact .. we are VIEWERS that are looking for motivation because it's impossible to get it all done, like you said - with an evergrowing list!
I guess the key to "all" is your mind's list for the day! Thank you for adding filming it on to your list!
Love you Natalie!
Hugs

🧡 Thanks for being real;) Love that you say, “Get some of it done.” It’s so refreshing to see and hear from a busy working mom what real life is…not what social media life is.
Wow! I needed this video! I want to “enjoy the season” this fall, but I feel like I’ve failed when life takes over. Thanks for showing how you made the best of things.
I love sassy Natalie! Continue keeping it real! I love that you show the screen time and the undone things on the to do list.
I’m going to be so sad if I never get to see your kids as older kids!!! I’ve been watching since hailey was about to turn 1 and it’s crazy how much they’ve grown in that time! I love you and your family! 💛💛💛💛

It's rainy and dark in Nebraska today but I am loving it. This is the first week we haven't had 90s in the forecast! Love your videos!
Such a good shift in perspective, Natalie! I love watching you, because you are always sharing God's love, positivity, and grace (for ourself and others). Thank YOU! Thank you for allowing the Holy Spirit to use you.
your precious white haired little girl! she looks like an angel.

Love the Easter egg of the house move with Going West! Perfect song choice to go with that too.

I enjoy the DITL videos it truly shows how life goes. I appreciate this so much!
I bought a blanket at target this weekend....my first thought was....Natalie would love this
My daughter is obsessed with doing that cleaning the toilet bit from bluey she thinks it’s the funniest trick to do to me
Buckle up. Years ago we got a Magic Bullet blender for our wedding. I spent months making smoothies until the day when the cup got stuck. The cup would NOT come off the base. I stuck it in the back corner of my kitchen (before minimalism haha) and forgot about it. Much later I tried to open it and it exploded from the pressure that had built inside. EXPLODED EVERYWHERE.

I’ve been lighting the honey crisp apple AND pumpkin vanilla candles concurrently, and they smell amazing together. 😍
Ohh those Little House picture books are so dear! 😍

That is totally something I would do (and probably have done) leaving an abandoned dinner in the oven for days 😆 thank you for being so real and showing that you don't have to be perfect to be a youtuber. It's so refreshing and inspiring. I'm inspired to try harder and be better but I know it's okay to not have a "perfect" home.
I’m definitly going to listen to your fall soundtrack tomorrow while driving, I’m already following it 🧡💛
Thank you for keeping it real! YES! We cannot do it all!
I’m a grandma and I just found you! I get the grandkids often. Your recipe looks so yummy...we’re going to try that for sure!! We love Bluey in our house too! I only wish we had a Trader Joe’s nearby.
I have 2 sets of twins, identical girls and a boy and girl twin. You make staying at home look so easy with children. I'm going to try your dish. Thank you
I appreciated that you shared the squash left in the oven. Been there…done that! 😂 I do remember that show with Sandra Lee…it was great! Happy fall! This video totally got me in the mood to celebrate the season! 😀🎃 🍂
12:23 that English Pace brings back memories! My whole schooling was through those Paces.
💛 I enjoyed the video and managed to get laundry rotated, dishes washed, sweeping and vacuuming, and even put a couple of pieces of fall decor out!
LOL
The 3 day old squash had me laughing so hard!! Not AT you, but WITH you!! 😂😂
Thank you for sharing your real life with us!
Keep being amazing!!
I also started a tradition of finding seasonal goodies at Trader Joe’s!! The maple kettle corn is my FAV 🥰
SAME! We bought 3 bags on our last shopping trip. 😂
You said laundry and I immediately thought of the load I forgot to do this weekend that needed to be done before Monday morning! Thanks for the reminder ☺️
It does look better with that chunk of wall down. That's pretty ambitious to take on a kitchen and have it done by Christmas.
Look forward to all the room transformations.
Thanks for keeping it real :) and reminding us we don’t have to get it all done ✔️ life happens and we adjust leave some things for another day. And that’s ok too :)
Oh love this video, your babies are adorable and I can’t wait to try the recipe.
I have done that before but now a good way to be on top of things is to clean my fridge every Friday before I go grocery shopping. I have reduced the waste of food so much so it’s very worth it and save a lot of money. Not to mention that we are going through all the food too
You are so awesome and right. Nobody can do everything in one take. You have a beautiful family and Hailey just cracked me up with that "thank you for cleaning my toilet" joke. 😂💕
Hello! Greeting from CA!
Thank you for keeping your "day in life" videos real 👏 👌
I love your fall playlist on Spotify! I started listening to it last year, and it's just the best!
Your videos are always so beautiful and happy, even in the real life.
I love that you’re being so honest and showing us it’s okay to rest and recharge too! Who cares if you don’t get it all done, you’re a mom and not a professional cleaner. I love seeing you spend time with your kids. They grow up so fast.
PS I love your content so much that while I’m waiting for the ads to play in the video I’m going over to your IG to watch your stories LOL 🤣
Oh my life I'm hunting done that playing because a big part of what I love in your videos is the music! I just got so many little bits and pieces done thank you as always xxx
I just wanted to say thank you for being so fun and relatable. I just recently discovered your channel, maybe two days ago, and I’ve already watched five videos. Anyways, I just really enjoy your content and wanted to say thanks.
I love watching your videos! They really are calming to me
21:50 One time we didn't completely clear our sink of dishes for too long. When we finally did, there was a washcloth in the bottom with a bean sprout growing from a prior meal involving beans. More embarrassing than gross, as my cousin was visiting when we discovered it!
I loooove your authentic personality!
I love when you share recipes!! Watched this video, (got influenced), ran to the store, now waiting for this pasta to finish up. 🤤
I live in the Caribbean so it's summer the whole year round. When fruit ,bread and vegetables go bad I just throw it in the garden and all the lizards ,iguanas and birds eat it! So I don't have to throw food away😀
You never fail to make an amazing cozy video! 🍁🥧
The compromise between homemade and half way home made- really resonating with me today. Thank you.❤️😭
Hello from Greece 💛 I really like your videos! Thanks for share you list with lovely music
You are awesome, keeping it real!!! When I was first married, I got a can of beans, and it was dented, (never get a dented can), when I opened it, it EXPLODED, all over and the it was SO smelly and awful!!! WOW, I can smell it as I'm writing this and that was over 56 years ago!!! Remember, you ARE awesome!!!
My great-nieces (4 and 8) both did that exact same joke that Haley did. It must be popular with that age!
