Finally sharing what happened. (And where I disappeared to!) DITL VLOG

[@sydcs5105]

Last week, I randomly thought, I hope Natalie is having a good time on her travels. Never met and live on the opposite side of the country. The Internet is a wild and magical place. 😂

[@michellegianna4914]

I was thinking the same thing! 😂

[@nnneeko]

the way you talk to your daughter is really sweet and special and makes it so obvious why/how you and your mom have such a close relationship 🖤

[@alyssamedin4669]

This was such a comforting thing to come across while hospitalized at 34 weeks pregnant for a small stroke. I have a 2 year old at home and often watch your videos while he naps and I rest or clean my house ❤ Thankfully I feel mostly back to normal, they are just running test after test to see if they can pinpoint a cause but thankfully they dont think they will need to deliver baby now. Would appreciate any and all prayers for my little family, especially my husband who is the glue holding everything together like a saint.❤

[@alyssamedin4669]

And of course the part with you and Hayley talking about her daddy working so hard is just making me tear up! So thankful for good husbands and fathers.

[@pgmnhrt]

@@alyssamedin4669 Praying for you and your family.

[@jennifermorley6487]

Praying for you and your sweet little family. Hope all goes well.

[@valerie718]

Prayers for you and your baby to be well

[@SharaLee60]

Sending Prayers for your sweet little family! 🙏🙏🙏☺️🫂

[@jennydellingOT]

I really enjoy watching your energy with your family! I go through times that I am not watching youtube and I am glad when I do come back you are still creating content! Thank you for your good vibes and sweetness that makes your family. ❤

[@shelbymace4997]

I do miss your blog styles. I love your “clean with me” But sometimes just a simple blog is so nice! Glad I could hang with you today!

[@christinaellis5765]

Thanks!

[@michelleanderson8449]

Welcome back, Natalie! We missed your calming presence 🥰 I’m about to start cooking chicken parmesan for my family’s dinner so it’s perfect timing to have your soothing voice on in the background 💛

[@Chell1496]

So glad you’re back! But happy you were able to get away and go to Ireland! 🌷 The tulip and flower fields were stunning!! 🌷 Fun souvenirs for you both and the kids l! 🌷

[@jennifermorley6487]

I am so glad you and Weston had a wonderful trip Natalie. It is so important to take that time together if you can and those memories will last you both a lifetime. I haven't commented in a while, but I just wanted to say again how much I genuinely appeciate your videos Natalie. I love how authentic you are and how you show us what a real day actually looks like. Not what a well edited "perfect" day looks like. I feel like you are one of the few youtubers I can truly relate too, even though my kids are all grown up now. I also wanted to let you know that God shines through you in every single video. You have such a warmth about you and I feel like I am with a friend whenever I watch your videos. Thank you for sharing your life with us and chosing to be so authentic and real. I appreciate you so much. ❤

[@constancebailey5133]

Welcome home Natalie 🌷 Boy I missed your peaceful videos 🌷 im so happy to hear that you had a great time in Ireland 🌷 I found myself praying for you one day. You're such a lovely, godly presence. I hope you continue to share your thoughts and home with us. Sending love from Michigan 🌷🩷🌷

[@Alextodd007]

Hello constance

[@chillibird2511]

Glad you enjoyed the Ireland trip. Thanks for sharing with us your trip and settling back to life back home. It was cute hearing the children's voices ❤

[@radinabambina]

When you were doing the birthday planning chat all I could think about is how you’re a real life Chili Healer 💕

[@georgiamarsh9900]

Uncle Paul and Aunty Bev are absolute country hosting goals! What a beautiful idea to put all that together for you ❤

[@daisybuchanan5378]

We went to Ireland on our honeymoon in November 1996, and we loved the coziness. Peat fires smell so good. Some of the nicest people in the world and great natural beauty.

[@susanatwell8274]

awwwww - The Quiet Man has ALWAYS been one of my favorites !!!! So glad you got to visit the spot itself in Ireland !!!!! Such a blessing that you and Weston could find a week to spend by yourselves while learning more about your family heritage !!! God Bless and gotta say . . Ms. Hailey (sp?) just makes my heart melt each and every time. . . she SOOOO reminds me of my 7 y.o. granddaughter (Addi) - same white blond hair and enthusiasm for anything and everything in life !!!!

[@jclapine94]

Oh my gosh, Haley and I share a birthday! Happy Birthday, Haley! 🎉

[@nickijean28]

Happy birthday to you! 🎉

[@Single_Mama_Side_Hustle]

I have missed your calming presence in my week! I'm glad you were able to get away!

[@deedeebolden]

My grandpa was a John Wayne fan, and he too loved The Quiet Man. So cool y’all got to visit the place! 😊

[@mammacass5311]

I love it when you show views from the area I can see glimpses of home thank you ❤

[@gracewalton5479]

Welcome back! It looks like you had such a wonderful time in Ireland, it brought back memories of when I visited Wales with my family as a teenager. Just a note, you might want to check up on the laws for bringing seeds over from a different country. It's often prohibited because diseases or invasive species can be unintentionally introduced into your state. I loved seeing all your flowers blooming, and I hope Hailey has a wonderful birthday!

[@catharinabra]

Can’t wait for the Ireland video on Patreon 🤩 So nice you’re back from your vacation, I’ve been rewatching your bedroom makeover when you were gone ✈️🍀

[@HarmonyOfEnyaMagic]

missed you so much here, Natalie and Happy birthday both belated to Weston and to yourself. I hope you had an amazing time❤

[@paulawalsh848]

I'm so glad you enjoyed Ireland. Beautiful sunshine for the the last few days. The sun does shine over here sometimes 😃

[@damn12597]

I love Ireland! It's fun to see some of your travels. I studied abroad there in 2019, and I remember we decided that Irish sheep are "happy sheep"! They have tons of room to roam and play and always looked so peaceful.

[@pamelacoles4807]

Love The Quiet Man. It is my St Patrick’s Day tradition to watch. Love the quote “Oh, that red head of hers is no lie”. Michaleen

[@carolynridlon3988]

Our growing zone is very similar to yours in upper Washington state (western Kentucky). We've already been through the tulips & daffodils - irises are starting to come up & also my day lilies. We've been planting gladiolus' bulbs, our clematis is finally growing, planting rose of Sharon plants & more dianthus plants around our front porch. - glad my hubby likes having pretty flowers & color in the front yard (especially since we have bunnies & a very large groundhog roaming our backyard!)

[@fabulouslyfrugalfancy]

I love the quiet man. Gree up watching it😊

[@SocialChannelStudios]

Glad you're back! And yeah, it's good to not freak out , you're amazing! Keep it up, Natalie!

[@lindsey3088]

Happy birthday, Hailey! It is actually my 4 year old’s birthday today too! She picked a cake with M&Ms along with mac and cheese for dinner 🤣 Little girl birthdays are just so fun!! 🎉

[@twoods2914]

We do the same now with souvenirs. Needs to be practical to use, Christmas decorations or artwork to display. The tulips are just beautiful and we can’t wait till Oct when our local gardens bloom with them in Australia 🇦🇺 !

[@maryellendillon4469]

So happy that you had a great time in Ireland. I’m planning an extended trip next year and I can’t wait!!

[@AG.Johnson]

I work for a travel company and it never ceases to make me so happy hearing about people's travels ❤

[@awestlaker]

I can’t wait to watch The Quiet Man! Tulips are my favorite! Yours are beautiful ❤

[@Alextodd007]

Hello robin

[@nickijean28]

Happy birthday, Haley! (Sorry if I spelled that incorrectly) Happy 7th Birthday. My son Landon turned 7 on April 9th!

[@lexiswanson8112]

Ireland! That's so cool! Big bucket list item! I wish I would have gone over when I went to England back in 2015, i don't see "international travel" with young family life for us. So glad you're back and had fun❤

[@amberr737]

That is such a blessing that you guys got to go visit Ireland! I have been loving all the flowers and greenery that has been coming to life in spring, fall is still my favorite but spring is 2nd favorite! Loved the vlog!!

[@kellyparsonsflaata9981]

Northern Ireland is my favourite. I have a print of Dunluce castle because I loved it sooo much. Giant's Causeway is so neat too. I'm glad you were able to get away and have a nice break! Also glad you are back. I love your videos.

[@Alextodd007]

Hello kelly

[@RVthereyetmemaw]

Happy Birthday Hailey! You are so pretty! Love your hair! Hope you day is all you want it to be!

[@adriennehart7453]

I always thought the boys favored you but seeing those pics of little Weston, wow! The resemblance is strong! Glad y’all had a great trip!

[@alenaandrews7075]

I live close to the nursery too. I was there a couple weeks ago. Love your videos. ❤

[@Alextodd007]

Hello Alena

[@jeanettewhite2144]

Great Video Natalie. It looks as though you had a great time and I am sorry our weather was wet for you. This winter and early spring has been very wet in the UK but we are hoping for a better summer. The mementoes were so sweet and your tulips look beautiful. I bet the little ones were so pleased to see you. Happy Birthday Haley 🎉🎉🎉

[@cynthiaslebodnik6945]

The tulip fields were awesome! It looks like Holland. I love lavender, as well as tulips & daffodils. Spring has sprung. I agree with you about souvenirs. It is stressful sometimes. I have Christmas ornaments from places we have visited. I also buy a thimble and some postcards to put in my scrapbook. Glad that you had a great time. Tell Hailey a happy birthday from a fan in PA.

[@teresaryan4956]

We have beautiful weather here in co, kilkenny today, it a pity you didnt get to see ireland in the sunshine. Glad you had a good time.

[@karenhoward8542]

Welcome home. Glad your holiday was so much fun

[@pattyjames4956]

Happy Birthday Haley!! 🎉🎉

[@taylorjohnson2909]

I got engaged at that Tulip field 6 years ago this month😭 love it there!

[@kimscooterjamieson]

So glad you had an amazing time on your trip. Well deserved. The flowers are beautiful by the way ❤

[@tamara4557]

I missed you too! Before you went to Ireland I was absent because of a death in the close family so it's good to catch up. LOVE the mug!! I always pick up things like that on my travels. Things that bring back beautiful memories and are useful, not just cluttering your cupboards. I have done the same with my small garden, trying to get something to bloom every month from February onwards (the earliest id the Japanese plum tree, an ume if you are wondering). It really helps me get through the still very chilly days of the first months of spring. Weather here in the Netherlands isn't much better then Ireland. Please give some tips in a (garden)video on starting dill, mine does not want to grow even direct sowing. Did you know that you can make a caper like pickle from the fresh seeds from the nasturtium? Besides using the plant in salads, and pesto etc I always make this for salads and such. It's so good! Perhaps a good addition to the garden :) (and it attract aphids, so other plants have less pest pressure) Happy birthday greetings to Hailey!! So fun to see the birthday planning, as I'm doing the same for both my husbands birthday this coming Sunday (the big 4 0) and for my daughter's 10th birthday in a month.

[@jessibalestrieri8751]

Really enjoyed the laid back vibes in this video. So cozy and nostalgic ♥️

[@theresabarrientos3822]

Natalie I missed you so much! I’m happy to hear you both had a great time in Ireland. Tulips 🌷 are beautiful!

[@SharaLee60]

Hi, Natalie, so glad you both had a great time on your trip to Ireland! I love the Quiet Man movie, too! Great movie. Tell Hailey Happy Birthday! Some very cute & lovely things you got over there! Oh, it's been raining here in the desert, too, on the other side of the mountain in Washington!Thanks for sharing! ♥️☺️🫂🦉🐾🦋🪡🧵🪴☕️🌹✨️

[@pgmnhrt]

Lovely! Thanks for sharing! We live at the foot of a mountain. A few weeks ago we went up for a hike and most of the trees were still bare. This past Sunday we went up again, the leaves were covering the trees and there was a green hue to the trails. So beautiful to watch God's creation come back to life after the winter sleep. :)

[@cherylmark1503]

Looks like the trip was awesome. The tulip fields are beautiful as well as yours. Thanks for showing the bald eagle-so majestic. Happy birthday to sweet Hailey!🎉🎂🎈

[@ShortAcres]

Glad you had a wonderful trip and it seemed the weather was nice while there. The Quiet Man is my favorite movie. Thanks for sharing the clips of visiting the village movie set.

[@RachelCowan-pm9xo]

Glad you are back!! My girls and I did a special on Irish clothing for Saint Patrick’s Day on our KZbin channel. I REALLY enjoyed that and hope to someday get to go see Ireland ourselves! We just purchased our own homestead and are hopefully moving in this weekend so I’ve been binge-watching your videos about the decluttering, packing, and moving! 😃 (I have two sets of girl twins and one girl in-between 😊)

[@miriamkachebenova9721]
