[@sandrakayhayes5776]

I'm in tears for you as I'm the grandma that has always had Christmas Eve!!! My granddaughter will be the one to take over for me and she already has many of my dishes!!! Merry Christmas and what an amazing home and family you have!! God Bless!!!

[@SeaTurtle515]

I’m a mother of five and grandma of four. How I enjoy seeing young women like you and my daughter, who love being keepers of their homes and good mothers to their children. I’m not saying we women can’t have other areas of interest, of course we can; but this job of prioritizing home making makes for a happy family life. Enjoy the season with your family in your lovely home. Thank you for your channel that will encourage and lend support to other young mothers. Because sometimes it can feel like an overwhelming and thankless job, but it’s actually the most challenging job on the planet!

[@Jwilly875]

As a young stay at home mom myself, thank you for this encouragement ♥️

[@SeaTurtle515]

@@Jwilly875 It will pay off in the long run. Happy New Years to you and your family. Homemaking is actually an art form and mothers are thermometers of the home’s ‘temperature’. 😌

[@carolynspotts4972]

I'm much older than you are, but I lost both of my parents in 6 days. There was little time grieve since I had hip replacement surgery a few days later. This video is a blessing to me thank you.

[@markellwilliams3594]

No honey you’re not alone in those feelings. I’m so sorry to hear of you’re grandma. You’re not being a downer either. My kids are grown and have grandkids. I’m 52 and have 8 grandkids. 3 lives here in Texas and 3 in Louisiana and 2 in Minnesota. When they are all together over here in Texas they all want my time and love and I’m so happy to give it. I’m pretty sure when I leave to be with the lord they will say the same things about me 🙏🏽♥️Thank you so much for sharing. God bless you and your family darlings

[@jessigreer1617]

I love how one of the boys worded “she’s already in heaven” so sweet so encouraging that the kingdom is where are enteral home is ❤️

[@CSSP10]

Natalie, this video made me cry both tears of grief and tears of joy. (Lost a brother 2 years ago and my father-in law in September) . What a beautiful post this was…the mixing of the reminiscing of Grandma and Grandpa, and the fun and love of your family celebrating together such a special time. Your faith blesses me, reminds me of what’s important! Thanks so much for being here! And SO glad you got that gorgeous snow !! God is So Good!

[@janellknudson4573]

My favorite part of your vlogs is how quick you are to share your relationship with the Lord and recognize specific gifts from Him. 💕 it inspires me to see His hand in my life too

[@viviangautier2160]

Thank you for sharing! I do not have kids and it is a sad part of my life but I have the happiness of babysit my niece 5 days in a week and I just ask God for health and to help me be the best for her. 🎄🤗😊

[@lexylou2821]

Hello Natalie, I am 58 yrs old. I lost my daughter many yrs ago. I keep her in my heart, still come to tears at Christmas. I love how you are sincere and honest with your viewers, would love to see your recipes and organization on your blogs. And keep us up to date on your homestead. God bless # Natalie is a blogger 😘😘

[@alisonmoore7815]

What you said about “the fact that you’re asking if you did enough means that you did”… I needed to hear that so much. This was my first Christmas as a mommy (with my baby on the outside), and I did so much less this year than I did in past years. Partly because I’m juggling so much more with a baby, and partly because we had a wedding out of town one weekend that my husband was the best man for and that just made us extra busy. But I’ve dealt with a lot of guilt over how much less I did this year because I thought, of all years, this should have been the year I did the most! I’m a mom now, I should be doing even more for my child. But I know I did the best I could. I made it as special as I could for her. Thank you for this reminder. It means so much.♥️

[@idepartasair]

Also! I didn't do much at all this Christmas season due to morning sickness, fatigue, and three toddlers running around, but I've decided that I'm making up for it with Valentine's day! January and February are going to be super festive for us. I'm even leaving my tree up and decorating it for Valentine's day. I'm super excited for it! 💗

[@bethc4619]

This video was precious. ❤️ As a 56 year old former homeschooling mom, your videos make me wish I could go back in time and enjoy the time with my children more and stress less. Since I don’t have a time machine, I am trying to create special memories with my grandchildren. Your Christmas box idea is on my agenda for the grandchildren next year. 🎄

[@84Zanie]

Hi Natalie! Words cannot describe how much I love your channel. You are an inspiration to me like you cannot imagine. I love your sincerity, honesty, compassion and gentle spirit bless me beyond words! I'm also a mom of 2 boys and I love the Lord with my entire being and you are just such a "breath of fresh air" every week. I look forward to watching your videos every week. Thank you for this channel. Thank you for being you and thank you for just the blessing you are! May 2022 just be a continuation of the Lord's blessings and faithfulness to you and your family!

[@elizabethreighley8483]

*trying not to cry over here listening to Natalie talk about her grandmother/xmas blues/being enough* all the feels over here! I Love that you acknowledge those feelings we often have about whether we did enough and your thoughts on time/attention being the important piece is so key!

[@ildikobocskai906]

Dear Natalie, this video is one of my favourite. Seeing your family just makes me I want the same. True love you can see. I saw this video a couple of times but I'm in (happy) tears every time you sing the Holy night. You and your videos give me a way I would like to lead my own family. Simple and happy. Thank you for everything! ❤

[@lorizielinski227]

Giving yourself grace during this difficult time is very important. I lost my Dad before the holidays last year and grieving opens our heart to knowing that time is so important ❤️

[@floofyyarnball]

I absolutely love watching your videos. Your expression of faith and what you’re going through means so much to me, honestly. You’re literally a sister in Christ and feel like an older sister I wish I had! Thank you so much for your intentionality and I wish you the best in your recovery process in grieving over and remembering your grandma this season and beyond. I was so happy to see your upload and thoroughly enjoyed and appreciated your work in it and I am so excited for you to have these memories documented for you and your family as well! I am so happy for you in that you have a husband who took days off to be with you while you are grieving and more fragile and in need of his comfort and attention. I hope to be married to my current boyfriend of 3+ years one day soon and I am so thankful he’s of the same faith… I teared up a little a few times through this video and I hope to grow my own little family one day. God bless you & your lil fam Natalie! You’re awesome & provided so much for your family & beyond! ❤️

[@dthelen]

I completely understand, I lost my grandma in August and cried more then once this holiday season just missing her. I was thinking, have I gave enough of my time and love to my loved ones, just as she did. Your words touched me deeply thank you.

[@debt3297]

Your video was precious, God Bless you and your family! My 6 adult children’s Grandma passed away on December 23rd. She was a lovely Godly woman. She was surrounded by all of her family that night 🙏

[@nicoleszpila4934]

After the story of your grandparents' table, you played the song "Silver Bells" which was my grandfather's favorite Christmas song; he and my grandmother passed away earlier this year and it's our first Christmas without them. That little musical memory got me right in the heart. 💕 God bless you and your family!

[@kimberlyprice2]

Your family Christmas was beautiful! Your grandma was definitely smiling down on you all. I have a very large family and we all used to gather at my grandma's for Sunday dinners and holidays. I had so much fun growing up with my cousins. Your table was magically put together. You did your grandma's table beautiful honor. You are teaching your children what is most important in life. I loved watching the kids play, sing, and dance. You are truly blessed!

[@nikitamickan]

Natalie, I'm behind in my KZbin videos so I hadn't seen this until now. Thank you. Thank you for reminding me that we're not alone. Thank you for reminding me that what we do is enough. I lost my Uncle this last September and it has been hard. But it's been one step at a time. One day at a time. And I am so grateful for the time spent with him. Thank you for reminding me that I am not alone.

[@pinkmartini4509]

Natalie, I so enjoyed your family Christmas video. It was just perfect! Your Grandma & Grandpa together in Heaven are looking down & smiling watching their loved 💟 siting and enjoying each other around their belived Christmas Table.

[@meganp8993]

Watching your kiddos with that white Christmas made my heart so happy for y’all! God is so good and his plan is overwhelmingly amazing! Sending prayers as you continue to grieve, grow, and see Gods “winks” every day.

[@jennifernovak4506]

Such a beautiful Christmas celebration and tribute to your grandma and grandpa’s love for your family and God’s people, Natalie! 🎄🌟 Thank you for sharing your heart, family, and traditions with us. It’s a beautiful blessing that your family is willing to get together this year and celebrate the birth of our Savior! 🙌🏻 It warmed my heart so much to see the joy in your home! 💝 The past two years our celebrations have included my husband, our two youngest and myself. However, we had a lovely Christmas filled with praise, love, gratitude, and laughter. It just wasn’t a “normal” celebration with our home filled with loved ones. I pray that will happen next year! 🙏🏼 I hope this New Year brings your family many blessings and great joy!!!

[@ashleebickley1222]

My piano advice as a professional classical musician: - Get a regular tuning in April - Have your next tuning in October and have the tuner run through it twice. First having the shorter interval, and then having him tune through it twice should get it all the way up to tune (or as in tune as the instrument will handle) without breaking the bank. A fall/spring tuning schedule is favorable because the weather and humidity are similar. A winter/summer schedule will necessitate more drastic tuning to be done and you won't be able to focus as much on the long-term goal of getting the piano to A=440.

[@totallifehacker1781]

Such a sweet video. Praying for your family. Let Christ rein our hearts each day.

That’s so amazing to have things passed down from grandma. My grandmother has been passing things to me as she declutters her house so I’ve been blessed to inherit some old beautiful pieces. Also the snow is so incredibly beautiful. This year I was going to go all out but we got sick with colds so we had a nice quiet Christmas snuggling and relaxing. I’m so happy to see you had such a beautiful Christmas. I love the singing around the piano. Merry Christmas and happy new year to you and anyone who sees this comment. May God richly bless you all.

Also, the sweetest moment when someone brought over a tissue for I guess your grandmother? "O Holy Night" is one of my favorite Christmas songs, and it made me tear up as well.

Thank you so much for sharing your family with me! I love that you have taken a break to spend time with family and give yourself grace during your grief. My daughter and her fiance have been sick with Omicron variant since December 23rd. I spent 12/29 in Urgent Care due to an ear, throat, and lymph node infections. I have been miserable. My husband works two jobs in healthcare, a firefighter/medic/engineer at CFD and a cardiac RN at the Heart Center. He has been working tons of overtime due to co-workers being out due to testing positive. He was off only for Christmas Eve. We had our 15 year old son open gifts with us. My husband was so exhausted that he took naps off and on. We just enjoyed the relaxing. Hopefully we will have family Christmas together with everyone mid January. God Bless you and your family!
