[@michellebrown82]

I have missed you all! Watching this made me feel like I was talking with my BF. 🥹I wanted to send you all a big hug. 🤗I have been going through a crazy 🤪past two years too, looking forward to hearing you “waffle” and seeing everyone again. Give Posey a hug 🤗from us for reminding you of your hobbies. My kids have done that for me too recently. I recently received an ADHD diagnosis, so I know the adjustment can be hard on mental health. Glad to see you and happy to have you back, lots of love ❤from my family to yours.❤🤗❤🤗

[@margaretbailey1233]

Fantastic to see you back and you are ok. In Mid July 2021 I need up being off sick for 15 months with Rheumatoid arthritis and fibromyalgia due to reacting badly to the COVID vaccine. For 5 to 6 months I was bed bound due to pain in my joints and my mental health went down. You and Rachel Beauty Plans helped me through some tough times, SO THANK YOU FOR BEING A FANTASTIC PERSON YOU HELPED ME THANK YOU.❤❤

[@joannemilner9527]

[@mammabee7]

Thank you Caroline, I've missed you and was just watching a rerun of one of your last videos this afternoon. I thought my eyes were playing tricks on me with this video. So sorry to hear about your Dad. Sending my love to you all and take care❤️

[@RositaWL]

🎉🎉🎉 Love you are back!!!

[@truebajansugar]

We miss you!!❤❤

[@13juniper]

Caroline! Oh I've missed youuuu. I think of you often, tbh, but my own chaotic depressed brain is terrible about actually reaching out to check on people. SO... there's that lol. One time in particular was December... we were looking to adopt some shelter kitties... I saw this super FLUFFY round tiny princess of a baby kitten and I instantly wanted to name her Persephone lol. I was like Hmm I wonder if Caroline would be ok with that? haha. In the end I wasn't able to adopt her, we got a couple of boys that are pure chaos goblins. But the point is, I often wonder what you're up to.

[@emeraldforest5551]

Hello!!!!! Hooray, so happy to see you. So Sorry to hear of the hard times, loss of your parents…..”keep on keep’in on “ best you can dear one . Wishing you the very best. Welcome back.🥰🩵🌸

[@hprice1980]

It's so lovely to see you back. I used to really enjoy your videos. I noticed your tattoo at the start and think it's beautiful. I also have a recent (literally last Thursday) diagnosis of autism at the age of 43 and am pretty sure I have ADHD. A lot of what you have been saying in this video has resonated with me. You could even have been talking about me at some points! I don't often comment on people's videos but felt I really needed to this time. I hope you're doing ok and start to thrive. ❤

[@NerdyJess]

I’m so so happy to see you again! ❤

[@mrsttwo2nd]

I was so excited when I saw this video! I’ve missed your waffling.

[@Planner_girl_kel]

Relate to this so much. I’m glad you are getting therapy with autism. I’m still awaiting my assessment. It’s really nice to see more planner people speak about it.

[@christinerector8077]

So happy that you prioritized your health but extremely happy to see & hear you! We are hear for it! WAFFLE ON!

[@tracylanderos1848]

Sooo good to see your lovely face and WELCOME BACK xoxo

[@planningwithcaroline]

Welcome back Caroline, I have been missing your videos. I watched this video was the first thing I did when I came home after work :D

[@TheMillieBon]

Welcome back Caroline! 🦄

[@kimberlybenkwitt639]

So happy you decided to come back.❤

[@shellieholmes]

Seeing the old planners would be lovely. I'm so glad to see you back on KZbin.

[@karenandrew431]

So pleased you are back, am excited to go on this journey with you x

[@cybermathwitch]

Hello! I’m so glad to see you again - I had wondered how you were doing and if you were alright. I am so sorry to hear about your dad and your struggles - I was also late diagnosed ADHD and Autistic in my 40s a couple years ago, and am dealing with fatigue abs chronic health conditions that make it impossible for me to work anymore. So much love to you and your family. ❤

[@AlrisG]

Missed you so much ❤ so happy just to even see you! Xxx

[@Whoopsididitagainco]

OMG Caroline, this must’ve been so hard for you to film. Me and Leah from the layaway we’re doing a live on Instagram yesterday and I said you had always been an inspiration to me starting my channel and I was wondering where you had gone. I have lost my dad in the period since you left KZbin and it is very very difficult and hard. I didn’t have a very good relationship with my dad, so I can’t understand what it is you went through. I’ve missed all of your videos and missed you as a person. You were one of the original KZbinrs to actually talk about their life and their family whilst videoing. You gave me the inspiration to talk about my life, my family and my Mental Health. I am so happy and sad for your diagnosis but I’m so so happy that this is giving you the opportunity to understand yourself more. Many years ago, my husband had to take a year off work to look after me. I hit a very low point in my life and all I did was sleep. I want you to know that you are not alone in what you are going through. Just being able to pick up the camera and make this video shows what an amazing and resilient person you are. I cannot wait to see what plan you are in at the minute and the journey that you’ve been on. Also, I absolutely love the hair love the nails and I absolutely love your new tattoo. I think it’s stunning.

[@jessicamorado6910]

Welcome back!

[@pferris5400]

💜 I’m so glad to see your video. Missed you and your family 🤗 Sending positive energy your way. Always liked whatever content you put out. Real you is the best!

[@artsis1000]

I missed all of you. I’ve stopped planning I’ve had twins since you left and I am prego again it’ll be baby #6. I’ve grown a lot I feel like you have as well. I’d love any video you make cause I adore you and your family your following will always be here for you take it as you can and do what you want.

[@margaretspence109]

It's SO good to see a video from you! Im sorry to hear about your dad its hard looking after a parent but its a different kind of hard after they are gone. Ive been hopeful you'd come back and that's why I stayed subscribed. 😂 Masking through life is exhausting so you would be burnt out but I am so glad you have ninja mouse to help you as well as the professionals in your corner. It was surprising to hear the ages of the kids. 😂

[@mandyadams4738]

Paused my audio book to watch this xx missed you loads x sorry to hear about your dad .love to you all ❤❤

[@constancestillwater]

Welcome back. 😊

[@happyplanningwithmisty8485]

I could have squealed when I saw you pop up!! I had reached out to Rachel asking if she knew if you were ok!! Gosh, I'm just glad to see your still alive and kicking 😂! I'm all the way in Alabama, USA but if I could I would give you a big Ole southern hug!! Welcome back you have been missed and prayed for!! ❤

[@Amymendoza1573]

So glad you’re back. You were missed more than you realize. A lot of us relate to you on so many levels. Glad to see you ❤

[@MiaTriplett]

It’s so nice to see your face again!

[@elster9181]

[@CharlotteM101]

Oh my goodness I have never clicked on a video so quickly when coming on KZbin. Oh Caroline it sounds like you have been through so much and I’m so sorry. I have missed your videos and really look forward to watching your videos when you do them. I think you are extremely brave. Take care, lots of love ❤ x x x

[@linsefton454]

Huge welcome back, you have been missed ××

[@linsefton454]

I watched to the end and wished I had commented at the end. So sorry for the crap you have been thru, bereavement is hard, I have lost my Dad, Mum and dog in 7 months, so very tuff. Good luck with your mental health and your future videos, I look forward to seeing anything you decide to share with us ×× Your a brave lady, and luv your new tattoo ❤️ ××

[@rhondastull103]

OMG! So glad to see you back! That’s why everyone loves you, because you are so real! So sick of watching fake people acting like they have it all together and life is wonderful! Keep doing you Boo and don’t be afraid of what you show us, because most of us are struggling through life too! I also am a shopoholic and a closet hoarder so you make me feel semi normal! lol! So glad you are back!

[@littleinky1]

I can honestly say I've never been so pleased to see someone. Stopped the film I was watching as this video was more important. Welcome back caroline 💜

[@allthingskristine]

It’s so lovely to see you! 🤍

[@roguemamabear9834]

Really lovely to see you again!! 🥰 sorry to hear what you have been through though; hugs to you all x

[@penny5616]

I’m doing cart wheels happy that you have vlogged. Your one of the few vloggers I feel is real and relatable. You are inspiring and you encourage us to keep on going. Big big hugs always. First and foremost take care of yourself and your family. Just so happy to see you..

[@CourtneeRae]

OMG!! I was just thinking about you because I went to search for one of your old ring setups. I'm glad you are well. Kudos to you for prioritizing your mental health❤️

[@faithandplans9952]

You don't need to give us an explanation. It's so good to see you! Please don't feel the need to mask or be anyone other than yourself. I hope you know how much you are loved and cared for. Sending hugs from a neurodivergent mom with neurodivergent children. God bless you and your family. Sending Posie a huge welcome to the planner family!

[@babyproblems]

The sheer joy I felt seeing a video from you on my subscription page! Happy you had time to focus on you and your family.

[@Coffeeandplannerz]

❤ so glad to see you back and you take it as slow as you want, we all love you and care for you and your family ❤

[@Biancaida]

Glad you're back! can't wait to watch a video on the kdrama you're watching or have watched!!

[@c.catlover4080]

I have never watched any of your videos before. I love planners and like to try different ones. When I heard you speak, I thought maybe you were from Scotland. My grandma was born in Dalmellington. You are so brave to jump back into this. I wish you the best on your recovery journey.

[@mariegrasmick9315]

You just made my day. I have missed you and your content. I see you, I hear you and I care about you ❤

[@Dot0729]

🎉🎉 so glad you are “ok” I have missed you and watching Posie open her advent calendars!!! She must be so grown!!! God bless and stay well!!!

[@sbh7017]

[@charmaineguard3258]

It is so nice to see you back and I'm very sorry to hear about your dad. I have always felt like you were one of the most relatable youtubers. I have a son with an autism diagnosis and one neurotypical. I always appreciate how honest you are about the struggle. ❤ I'll be looking for your next videos!

[@lorimcneill2297]

So happy to see you!!! Glad you have taken time for yourself & family! Know that that you have been missed!!

[@emily5756]

Welcome back! :D

[@artsis1000]

I ran to KZbin so fast! Just started but hiiiiii!

[@Chris_cozy_corner]

Random thought and obviously just a thought but you could do a destash live where you rehome stuff you don't want anymore but is still good?

[@Fpandtns]

Soooooo glad to see you back ❤❤

[@hannahrimmer8504]

Oh I am sooo excited to see your video! I clicked sooooo fast! So glad you feel able to come back and I have missed your videos. So sorry to hear about your Dad. So glad you felt able to prioritise yourself. Please know that whatever and whenever you put out we will love it.

[@carlamariev]

Wow! I can relate like with almost everything you said, just wow! New subscriber, this is my first video and it made me want to bing watch and I look forward to your new videos. Thanks to Becky for mentioning you!

[@nichole_marie_5]

So very happy to see you back on the tube! Welcome back sweet woman. We have missed you. Take care of you first and foremost. ❤

[@Chris_cozy_corner]

So pleased you're back.

[@ellenscofield6952]

So glad you are back. Love when you waffle on. Hope things are starting to look up.

[@Nikkimattei]

AAAAAAAHHHHHH! SHE IS BACK! Missed you girl! So happy to "see" ya!

[@Nikkimattei]

I am sorry to hear about your dad. That is really sad. I am glad you still have your mom even though that is hard as well. On the lighter side, I love the tattoo and I am curious as to what you've been using for planners.

[@anchorheartlacquer]

Okay now I’m at the end of the video and am tearing up! So so proud of you, of your perseverance and for taking the time and space you needed! Wish I could give you a hug! Sending love from Maine, USA!!

[@heike_plans]

Welcome back !! So sorry you went through what you went through. Sounds like such a difficult time ! Take it easy, look after yourself, but be assured that you have quite the fan base here. Good fans 😊

[@selenemason9383]

Seeing you had posted made my day. Firstly condolences on the loss of your Dad. So glad you finally got your diagnosis of Autism/ADHD, as someone whose daughter has been diagnosed, I can understand burnout and masking all too well. Your honesty in this video has blown me away. Will miss the Ninja mouse has been buying pastries when you do your budget. Welcome back, however often you choose to film and what you film, make sure you look after yourself first.

[@killielila]

We missed you all welcome back xx

[@jaklyndelgado7677]

Omg I have notifications on and I clicked so fast!!!!! So glad to you here! 💕

[@danieh9224]

So lovely to see you again, you smashed that video love your waffle, could listen to you all day 🥰 love to the family

[@planhercreations8360]

I'm so glad you're back!!!! Take care of yourself first and foremost, we will all be here whenever you're ready to post!!!

[@stationerywonderland4783]

It feels so good to see you and hear your voice again! I missed you 💚 Hope you’ll be able to move forward while healing ✨

[@stationerywonderland4783]

(It’s my birthday tomorrow and you being back is one of the best gift EVER! Whatever you decide to do with your channel, I’m here for it)

[@tiphanneycusick5396]

I am so happy you are back. You were so missed. I totally understand that life is hard and adulting even harder and it sucks. Would love to see the planners you were using and what you are currently using. Keep being you, thank you for sharing what is going on in your life.

[@laurashoesmith9304]

Welcome back colourful lady! You were obviously very missed! Can't believe your LilBits are so big now! Look forward to continuing to catch up ❤

[@anchorheartlacquer]

So happy to see a check in from you - though I’m terribly sorry to hear that life has been so hard these last couple of years. Sending you so much love! If you make videos, we’ll be here. If not, still wishing you and your family all the best! ❤

[@Blondie0562]

It is so great to see you! You have been greatly missed!!

[@joannemilner9527]

Yes...planners...please

[@sallycourt5919]

I was so happy to see this pop up in my feed! You have made my day 😁. I am really sorry to hear about your dad and all your family and health struggles, I hope there are better times ahead for you all. I can’t wait to see more videos, but no pressure, I am sure we are all don’t care if you don’t post them regularly.

[@dawngrow8415]

I saw your posted and squeeled so loud I scared everyone in the house . I'm so sorry to hear about your Dad's passing. I am so glad you will be posting again you have definitly been missed. I don't think anyone would care if you just came on to Waffle we would all still watch. So glad you had Ninja Mouse to help you with your struggles. Many blessings to you and your family. So glad your back much Love💖💖💖💖

[@disabledyetinvincible]

So happy you're back!! But seriously understand why you had to take a break (and if there are any more breaks in future), as someone else who struggles with both mental & physical health, I found alot of what you spoke about very relatable. But then that's why I loved your channel in the first place - it always felt like a friend chatting to me. P.s. I've also found some elements of the UK planner community a bit toxic and I've basically mostly (but not entirely) retreated to just focusing on the planning and try to avoid the people and the drama!!

[@meiaesthetic]

So excited to see you in my subscription feed again! Sending warm hugs your way x

[@carolemcwilliams2354]

Welcome back!!!! I missed you so much!!!! I’m so sorry it’s been rough for you & your family. I hope everything looks up soon!!!!!!

[@nyssabader4634]

Sorry to hear about your dad. Having also recently lost a loved one and supporting someone who lost a sibling - grief often re-hits you when you least expect it. Do what is best and right for you & your family. Take care xo

[@chatterboxbudgets]

I'm so glad to see you! And now to watch/listen...

[@nickihill815]

I relate so strongly to what you're going thru re: undiagnosed neurodivergent 40ish year old mom discovering my coping skills aren't always the healthiest and trying to discover who I am under the masking... Thank you so much for sharing, life is fucking hard sometimes so do what is best for you and know we support your choices to care for yourself and your family ❤
