Natalie, you slow down the noise in my mind. Watching your videos brings me peace! I hope you know i watch you for you, there is never a need to keep up with all the other youtubers (who likely put out fake and dramatic content). I know sometimes you feel discouraged about being "the perfect youtuber" but just know, you are relatable, kind, gentile, thoughtful, creative, determined & thats why we love you ❤️ hope you are having a wonderful day!
I had a student with pica which caused intense chewing episodes and many eaten pencils (including the metal parts and eraser). We cut clear refrigerator tubing and put the pencils inside so that she could still chew and we did not go through as many pencils. It was also not very noticeable to other students. It worked well for a long time.
My grandson loved perler beads. He made Minecraft replicas, dogs, vehicles, and characters. He is older now and his creations hang along the bottom of a high shelf. Many of the leftover beads are in spice jars hanging on a spice rack in my kitchen for a pop of color and a flash of memory. My iron is feeling left out. 🤣
Post surgery & last year of homeschooling, enjoying watching & always ready to pick up tips & tricks not already in my bag, as well as enjoying your positivity & relaxing style while healing.
Got my 3 year old off to school, put my 3 month old down for her morning nap and now enjoying your video while folding laundry that has been sitting in the basket for the past 3 days 😆 Oh yeah, my 3yr old is very much into perler beads too! 🍎
I’ve been thinking more and more about homeschooling when my baby is old enough to start school and you’re channel is inspiring me even more to do so! I love all your content, definitely a huge inspiration for me in every aspect of life! Thank you for posting amazing content 🤍✨
🍎Hello from Greece! 1st day of school is tomorrow here, so...perfect timing! I wish you have a great school year! Thank you for your content. You are the best 👌 ❤
🍎 I love your videos! Very helpful in more ways than one! I listen while I clean or work on something that I want “company” to listen to…go ideas & love your decorating for a holiday❣️My favorite is Christmas, especially your tree! I have wanted one like yours forever, I have a saving account I add to every now & then…someday! For now, I’ll just enjoy yours 😊
How cool is it to see this journey you’re on with your kids?! I was wondering how much different/ how much fun and exciting it must be for you to go through these levels with your kids with more updated content what you grew up with since you have shared how much you enjoyed your homeschooling experience growing up.
Hearing about kiwico makes me think of this family friend of ours who we called "uncle" - they sound like just the sort of thing he would have sent us when we were kids. ❤
This took me back quite a few years to our son's coloring days. He called crayons "crowns." It surprised me know other people called them that. He's now 30 and still, they are crowns to him. I enjoyed this declutter video. Your school room is so neat!
🍎 I like to watch/listen to decluttering and cleaning videos while I attempt to declutter and clean. My daughter will be 4 in February but I’m looking to get a head start on homeschooling (if I can stay focused enough 🥴)
🍎 shucking the last of my corn to stock my freezer while watching! ☺️ I have a 4 year old boy that I’m doing homeschool prek with! And we love it too! Here for all the homeschooling, fall, gardening, and everything you do! Love your content!
🍎 been homeschooling for 4/5 years now. Second year of schooling all of my children at the same time. I try to declutter my school stuff at least once a year. 5th, 2nd, and Pre-K. Three boys. Your videos give me much inspiration and peace. Love you guys!
🍎 Fun! We homeschool too and I love organizing for the new year. 🎉Enjoy your kids being little 🫶 Mine are now teens but it’s still wonderful having them home with me
🍎 My kid is 25, but my “kids” are 6-8th grade. We are 5 weeks in. Just enjoy your company while cooking or cleaning. Okay, I’ll be honest, mostly procrastinating 😬, but I do love “hanging out” with you! Thank you for always being honest and AWESOME! 😘
I could do a declutter of our school things too :) I usually do my strength training while I watch a RUclips video. We use the handbook of nature study and love it! Such a great resource! I've been eyeing treehouse schoolhouse resources forever, so beautiful! Going to check out that planner!
Have a wonderful school year. Microscopes are an awesome gift. You'll all use it for years to come. I purchased one when I was teaching high school biology, and I recently gave it to a homeschooling family.
I don’t homeschool but autumn is always a great transition time. I always try to support my children’s curiosity by doing some fun learning at home as they are gifted and my son has adhd and that is a combination that SCREAMS being bored at school. My son now is in first grade, my daughter in kindergarten and we certainly change out a lot in autumn as they are a lot at home in summer (or outside). So we see what they still enjoy and try to make space for Christmas presents by passing outgrown boardgames and toys to their little cousin. The math fidgets look like fun for my son. I HATE perler beads. Sometimes my kids like to do them, but they prefer throwing them around when they get bored. I have bought window colors as my son liked it in therapy. That’s a project I want to start in autumn. In Germany we learn crayon it with the y clearly pronounced as in the first example.
🍎 I am actually watching at 1:45 am, can't sleep. Oh those beads we still keep stocked here for my kids, they grew now grandkids and bonus kids love them. When we did home schooling going through drawers would of been awesome. We used the semi clear drawers And those always frustrated me. Because I could still see the stuff inside the drawers. It didn't look so neat. I love your videos Natalie. Sometimes I'm doing a project as I listen and other times I am that person sitting back feeling like I am visiting with a friend as she is doing her projects. You're such a blessing.❤ I do thank the Lord for you. Your heart and your videos. May Jesus bless each one of you and your family with bunches of his love and all the goodness he has for all of you.
🍎 I'm baking sheet pan pancakes and flapjacks for the school lunches and my husband did a toy declutter yesterday, thanks for helping with the motivation, love from Ireland and God bless you 🇮🇪
Lol hi, native Ohioan here -- we pronouce is CRAY-AHN. I enjoy your transparency and being my virtual accountability buddy while my son takes his nap. I relate to being a parent of a high-stim baby!
Just love a good back to school reset! What a fabulous fidget toy and educational to boot! I will definitely need to look into those!:) Have a great year!:)🍎
Man I wish those fidget math toys existed in the 90s when I was in elementary school. I feel like I’d have had an easier time in math because my ADHD brain HATES math with a passion lol
It wasn’t the erasers, but rather the caps over the erasers that I thought were super unnecessary and a choking hazard, not only for kiddos who put everything in their mouth, but also our puppy!
Oh my goodness!! I have not heard anyone else pronounce crayon like me! I spent my first 7 years in Maryland then moved to Arkansas. I worked to lose most of my northern accent, but I have to really think before I say crayon in order to pronounce it the "acceptable" way. Thank you for sharing another relaxing declutter with us!
🍎 I have a 5, 4, and 2 yr old with one on the way. We’re slowly getting into homeschooling. We’ve kept things pretty unstructured so far and it’s served my oldest 2 very well. But I’m looking to push into it a little more this year. One of my children is VERY hard on herself. Sheis also extremely sensitive and emotional. We work really hard at building her confidence with things she already knows but then when it’s time to learn something new she shuts down very quickly. Any suggestions to keep her motivated and not get so down on herself when things get hard?
So funny because I'm from Portland, and I pronounce it like Natalie. But my husband from the Seattle area (like her) pronounces it like "crown" 😂 I guess the PNW is a hodgepodge!
Always love your videos!!! Wow another school year! Your children are growing up so fast I'm sure you all are going to love the microscope! God bless you and your sweet family!
We homeschooled 9 children. I enjoyed it so much. They are grown with families of their own now. It was so exciting to prepare and plan each day. I enjoy your videos so much. It brings and reminds me of happy moments with my kids. 🍎❤
I just had a suggestion. Check to make sure the erasers on the mechanical pencils are not necessary to keep the extra lead in the pencil from falling out. If you still don’t want the erasers, simply remove any extra loose leads in the clear tubes and store them separately.
I kept the erasers on! It was the little plastic caps OVER the erasers that I thought unnecessary and a potential choking hazard (for kids and a puppy!)
🍎 Watching this video as I make a study plan for a professional certification! It feels so daunting right now, and your video provided the motivation needed to get started! (Also "cran" here, midwest born) I'd love to see your family's full fall bucket list and autumn activities
🍎 Natalie! Put shelves in the tracks instead of those baskets (in the hated piece of furniture)! The "drawers" will become baskets on shelves, and your problems will end 🙂 Of course do what you wish and not what a random person from the internet tells you, but I'm in furniture building phase, and the idea popped in my head only now (and it's not ghe first video with them). Lots of love ❤
I have a sensory kid too. He chews on every toy/pencil/object in our house. I have no idea why or what to do about it. I just discovered you and am subscribing! I love your vibe ❤
I did enjoy this video. Ordinarily, I am not interested in the back to school videos because my kids are way long out of school and I have no grand kids, but, this was interesting to me. You're going to have a great school year! 💯❤
I am in Missouri b/w/o Kansas with parents from Missouri and New York. I definitely heard "cran" most growing up, and a little "crown", but personally say "CRAY-yon". "Cran" and "Crown" are both examples of the syllables being smushed together - if you say cray-YON really quickly, it can sound like crown, and if you say CRAY-on really quickly, it sounds like cran. :)
🍎🍏 thank you for all the videos you post. Im re-watching (third time?fourth?) many of your older ones; especially the autumn and Christmas ones 🍂🎄 My daughter is homeschooling her son, Liam, age 6.😊 I think of you so often 😃🙏🏾👍
🍎 So nice you're enjoying your time teaching your kids home schooling! I know you were decluttering & wanted to wait to do dusting/cleaning another time! But I couldn't do that. I would have to do the whole thing. I couldn't put something back in a drawer or shelf without wiping it or dusting it! It might take me longer, but that's OK, because I don't want to do it again until a few weeks later! I know everyone does things differently & that's fine! So nice you got some new things. That microscope looks awesome! I would even like that! The boys could look at some of their skin or nails. That be interesting for them. Maybe they could make a video of that! Opie looks good! Well, take care! ♥️☺️🫂🦋🐾🧶🧵🪡📓✏️🍄🍁🎃🌹✨️
Yes! I used to be that way too, but then I realized that it was holding me back from being productive. It might work for you, but my perfectionistic sort of mind would always tell me that if I can’t do the full job it’s not worth even starting, and then I was way less productive than I am now with doing things incrementally!
Yes, you probably are right, Natalie! But I have a lot of pain & health issues, so it's hard for me to do much of anything. I mostly sit in my chair & I do scrapbooking & some hand sewing. We do go swimming & I ride a stationary bike. Also, we go for walks now & then! I do drive a little, but I have that neoarpathy in my feet & I can't feel much in them, it's so hard for me to feel the pedals! Ha! So that's my story! Thanks for messaging me back! I do love watching you when you do your videos. Could you show your garden & what you're doing in it a little more. Some more recipes would be good, too. I love watching you make your recipes also! Have a great day! ♥️☺️🫂🦋🐾🍄📓✏️🧶🧵🪡🍁🎃🌹✨️
Could you share the info for the colored pencils? 😊 I’ve been following you since 2018, when I was pregnant with my first. He starts kindergarten this month and it’s our first real year homeschooling. I’ve loved all your content over the years, but was extra excited about this video 😊 Thanks for sharing all you do!
Do I have school age kids? No. Did I watch this entire video? Yes, and loved it. Your videos are always very calming. ❤🍎
Natalie, you slow down the noise in my mind. Watching your videos brings me peace! I hope you know i watch you for you, there is never a need to keep up with all the other youtubers (who likely put out fake and dramatic content).
I know sometimes you feel discouraged about being "the perfect youtuber" but just know, you are relatable, kind, gentile, thoughtful, creative, determined & thats why we love you ❤️ hope you are having a wonderful day!
🍎
Same here. Natalie gives so much peace ❤ she is my giant cozy blanket
I had a student with pica which caused intense chewing episodes and many eaten pencils (including the metal parts and eraser). We cut clear refrigerator tubing and put the pencils inside so that she could still chew and we did not go through as many pencils. It was also not very noticeable to other students. It worked well for a long time.
So excited for this new video! If you find yourself with some staple fall meals I’d love to see a video on them! 😃🍎
Natalie, you are such a genuine, down to earth and humble person. Love your videos. Please never change🥰
My grandson loved perler beads. He made Minecraft replicas, dogs, vehicles, and characters. He is older now and his creations hang along the bottom of a high shelf. Many of the leftover beads are in spice jars hanging on a spice rack in my kitchen for a pop of color and a flash of memory. My iron is feeling left out. 🤣

Can't wait for your 'What I bought my kids for Christmas' video!!
It’s scheduled to drop right before Thanksgiving!
Got my 3 year old off to school, put my 3 month old down for her morning nap and now enjoying your video while folding laundry that has been sitting in the basket for the past 3 days 😆

Oooh so excited to watch this! I’m in full “fall declutter mode” so this came at the perfect time 🍂💛 Can’t wait to watch!
One of my favorite videos of the year! 🍎
Watching from 🇵🇭…Thank you for being an inspiration. I love you, your family and everything about you. 🍎

Love this cozy time of year! Homeschooling, cool weather! 🍎
🍎 I'm baking sheet pan pancakes and flapjacks for the school lunches and my husband did a toy declutter yesterday, thanks for helping with the motivation, love from Ireland and God bless you 🇮🇪
Haven't started 'proper' home schooling yet as our daughter is only 2, but this makes me super excited to start sometime soon!
Lol hi, native Ohioan here -- we pronouce is CRAY-AHN.
I enjoy your transparency and being my virtual accountability buddy while my son takes his nap. I relate to being a parent of a high-stim baby!
Also native ohioan. My family all say crown. Haha
🍎 love this video! Just declutterred our craft room today! Feels so good.
Love this time of year! Can’t wait for all the cozy, homemaking, and motivational videos :) 🍎
🍎 I always love your fall content! I'm a new homeschool mom and love the inspiration and ideas.
🍎 I love watching your videos during my pumping breaks 🤍🤍🤍
I even use those pencil boxes for my makeup, it’s the perfect size!
🍎 I love watching your videos. I am currently doing some diamond painting while watching. Your content is so down to earth, I love it.xx
I hadn’t planned it but I’m watching you and decided to do a little declutter of my junk/cable/charger drawer 🍎
Pregnancy insomnia at 3am again- got me watching my favorite gals on YT 🥰🍎
Just love a good back to school reset! What a fabulous fidget toy and educational to boot! I will definitely need to look into those!:) Have a great year!:)🍎
🍎 don't have kids, but you're my favorite channel to watch during my work lunch ❤
I don’t do colouring books. I have doutangs with plain pages for them to free draw/doodle or write. When it fills up, recycle.
Hi, french girl here! We pronounce crayon the first way you said it. Thank you for this video and thank you for protecting your kids' stories ❤
So looking forward to the fall clean and decorate video! It’s one of the videos I look forward to the most 🍎
Man I wish those fidget math toys existed in the 90s when I was in elementary school. I feel like I’d have had an easier time in math because my ADHD brain HATES math with a passion lol
Preemptively removing the erasers is something I hadn't considered but it will definitely start doing! What a great idea!
It wasn’t the erasers, but rather the caps over the erasers that I thought were super unnecessary and a choking hazard, not only for kiddos who put everything in their mouth, but also our puppy!
Today I finished declutter my apartment. Its feels so good.. and light 🪽
Oh my goodness!! I have not heard anyone else pronounce crayon like me! I spent my first 7 years in Maryland then moved to Arkansas. I worked to lose most of my northern accent, but I have to really think before I say crayon in order to pronounce it the "acceptable" way.
Thank you for sharing another relaxing declutter with us!
I am not a homeschool mom but this is always so interested / satisfying to watch 🍎
I LOVE hearing about your homeschool 🍎
🍎 I have a 5, 4, and 2 yr old with one on the way. We’re slowly getting into homeschooling. We’ve kept things pretty unstructured so far and it’s served my oldest 2 very well.

🍎 you’re helping me through cleaning my bathrooms 😆😅 My least favorite task but paired with a fun video helps it go by faster, so thank you!
🍎 definitely my relaxing time but you give such positive motivation - thanks for sharing 🌷
🍎 Great video, it’s inspiring to watch a home reset and organize video. I love back to school season as well! 😀
Here in the U.K. we pronounce it cray-on. Crayon.😂
🍎 omg the perler beads I LOVED THOSE might get some just for nostalgia for myself,my kids are still a little young for them 😊
My mom (from Ohio) says CRAN. I grew up in NC and say CRAY-ON. I didn't even realize my mom said it like that until I was an adult!
🍎Happy back to school!! Love your cozy motivation!
I will say I do still love coloring with my grandkids!!
Love your videos as you are a talented person as you do your cooking cleaning and declutering god bless you and your family
You could look into oral fidgets to provide an 'ok' outlet for the sensory needs. They come on a necklace and can be a good mobile option for kids.
Oregonian here to say, we pronounce it the full cray-on usually 😂 but I have heard both the other options from time to time as well
So funny because I'm from Portland, and I pronounce it like Natalie. But my husband from the Seattle area (like her) pronounces it like "crown" 😂 I guess the PNW is a hodgepodge!
Always love your videos!!! Wow another school year! Your children are growing up so fast I'm sure you all are going to love the microscope! God bless you and your sweet family!
We homeschooled 9 children. I enjoyed it so much. They are grown with families of their own now. It was so exciting to prepare and plan each day. I enjoy your videos so much. It brings and reminds me of happy moments with my kids. 🍎❤
I just had a suggestion. Check to make sure the erasers on the mechanical pencils are not necessary to keep the extra lead in the pencil from falling out. If you still don’t want the erasers, simply remove any extra loose leads in the clear tubes and store them separately.
I kept the erasers on! It was the little plastic caps OVER the erasers that I thought unnecessary and a potential choking hazard (for kids and a puppy!)
🍎 it's 5:30 pm Egypt time I just got home from work and having my lunch/diner 😅
Thanks for the welcome! I enjoyed joining you and just making some apple cinnamon bread on my end!
🍎 Always looking forward to your videos! I'm even watching the older ones, some of them still in your last house. 🥰
🍎 Watching this video as I make a study plan for a professional certification! It feels so daunting right now, and your video provided the motivation needed to get started! (Also "cran" here, midwest born) I'd love to see your family's full fall bucket list and autumn activities
We love perler beads!!! So good or fine motor skills❤
🍎 current cleaning out my garage. I love your videos.
🍎 Watching this as my daughter and I snap our homegrown green beans. 😊
🍎 Natalie! Put shelves in the tracks instead of those baskets (in the hated piece of furniture)! The "drawers" will become baskets on shelves, and your problems will end 🙂
Of course do what you wish and not what a random person from the internet tells you, but I'm in furniture building phase, and the idea popped in my head only now (and it's not ghe first video with them).

I say cray-ON. Like the first friend you mentioned. My husband says "crown" and it drives me nuts. And we grew up in the same home town! 😂
Request for a post of their claymation videos!❤
I literally JUST watched your school room video last year! I guess you and I are on the same wavelength 😂😘
Hi love watching I live in Cyprus a island in the Mediterranean,I have been decluttering for a year now maintaining thank you for updates
I grew up calling them “crowns”, but the preschool teacher in me will never say that again. It’s “cray-ons.”
Homeschooled all my grade level life, now just beginning to homeschool my first kid. We pronounce it "cray-on" like "cray cray" and "on" 😂
I am in Missouri b/w/o Kansas with parents from Missouri and New York. I definitely heard "cran" most growing up, and a little "crown", but personally say "CRAY-yon". "Cran" and "Crown" are both examples of the syllables being smushed together - if you say cray-YON really quickly, it can sound like crown, and if you say CRAY-on really quickly, it sounds like cran. :)
🍎🍏 thank you for all the videos you post. Im re-watching (third time?fourth?) many of your older ones; especially the autumn and Christmas ones 🍂🎄
My daughter is homeschooling her son, Liam, age 6.😊 I think of you so often 😃🙏🏾👍
Love your decluttering videos 🍎
Yup- Midwesterner here and we say "cran". My east coast hubby says "cray-on".
