I always wondered why you cut Bree’s sandwich different than the others, the fact that you cut it that way because that’s how her biological mom cut it for her is very kind of you to give her that motherly comfort. Something so simple probably gives her the most comfort. Opening her lunch bag seeing that sandwich cut the way her bio mom would cut it probably puts a huge smile. You are truly an amazing, caring mother.
Ditto!
@@lauriereed5621 Not everyone watches UA-cam shorts bc it's not always very PC-friendly ;D
@@lauriereed5621 yea she saw it and stated the reason why now she knows
I got this to 1k likes yayyyy
@@alexiserven997 not yet girl you got one😂
Does she and her kitchen give anyone else 90’s vibes?? It just feels so comforting watching her in her kitchen. Like if im about to run in as a little kid and ask for a sandwich. 😂
Yesss 🙋🙋🙋 now I have to make my own sandwiches, dumb adulthood 🙄😂
Yes I think that's why I enjoy watching her channel so much
@@michaelamcnamee5120 Didn't you make your own as a kid too?
I miss❤ the 90s
Reba vibes!
The fact that she has her makeup on and is so happy in the morning, manages to do all that food and has time to stop look at and show us the sunrise. what a lovely human. I aspire to be more like her
She's pretty good ✌️
I mean...she doesn't have the time lol she wakes up at 4am every day to be able to do all of this. It's a lot! I couldn't do it
It’s a video……🙄
It’s her very very well paying job .
Wow, I genuinely have so much respect for this woman. She wakes up every morning before the sun even rises and devotes her life day in and day out to these children with a SMILE on her face. That is admirable. God bless your heart ❤️🙏
She’s got to really enjoy doing it or there’s no way. Takes a special person to live this kinda lifestyle. This is the first video I’ve watched, but I just hope that nice things are done for her in exchange.
True, I have 3 and I find myself screaming " go outside and play, you kids are getting on my nerves"
Not everyone can be like this lady. I'd go crazy with ONE kid...let alone half a football team lol.
Props to her!!!!❤️✌️
This lady is absolutely amazing and a credit to her beautiful family so much patience and energy never see her stressed that alone is a blessing God bless 💕
Honestly the older kids could help out instead of being lazy in the morning teach them responsibility
I'm a single mom with only 3 kids and feel burnt out from worry, loneliness, and exhaustion pretty much everyday. Your videos make me feel calm and give me strength to keep going. Thank you for sharing ❤
Keep pushing mama 💪🏽
you’re doing great, momma💕
Bless u. Keep going ❤❤❤ you are brave and strong, darling
Keep going!!! You can do your best!! You aren't alone in this. It's better in good company, but is this isn't healthy now, it's ok. Self-pity isn't the answer!! Be grateful, have joy in your work. It's hard, but we are in this together! Around the world!!! 🇵🇷
💜💙💪🙏 you got this mama. I'm right there with you. All we can do is keep pushing forward
The respect she has for these children is inspirational. My mum acts like the tiniest thing is a massive inconvenience so it’s nice to see that you’re so happy to accommodate these children and I’m sure they feel special and loved because of it
you remind me so much of my mom and even look a bit like her. she had 8 biological and 8 adopted along with 2 step children, 18 in total and watching your morning routine is like watching a video from my childhood. i remember my mom getting up around 4-5am to get the kids and my dads breakfast going and getting us all where we needed to be. thank you for posting these videos and your kids are all so lucky to have you!
Wow strong lady inspirational hats off too her xx
Wow .. that's honestly impressive.
What a lovely woman your mother is. You're very lucky to have her ❤️✌️
What is your mom's name?
Her putting that flour and sugar in the measuring cup like “this will do” is everything! She does not give af about being perfect. I love it! Thank you for all the sacrifices you make for the kids!
Yes! Love that about her💜
I think at some point you just give up .. doing everything 'perfect' is just for people with enough time.. But I have to say I love to see that on social media!
thing that scary though is the washing of the meat or vegetables, the meat is definite one that’s important
I love that you include the bio parents in the kids lives and invite them to participate. That's so big of you, so many people can't put stuff aside and do that, I don't know if you realize how rare it is. 💙
💯💞
I agree 100%, Alicia & Josh are a very rare breed and these children are so fortunate to have them as they are them👍👍👍♥️🙏♥️😇
Some people’s choice for their children hasn’t anything to do with their own ego.
Sometimes the situation and child calls for different protections. Some bio parents are still too emotionally damaging to be a part of the child’s life. And some children are too traumatised to handle dealing with a bio
Parent till they are older.
@@ChoochooseU absolutely true. I've just seen too many people put hatred of another parent over the best interests of a child, happens far too often. So the fact that they make this effort is really really special
@@christineb1464 my ex absolutely hates me, and I've seen the damage it has caused. But, I have a cousin that was part of an open adoption. She knows ALL of her family. And, I've never seen a more well rounded person. It really is in the maturity of the parents. You are spot on.
I never thought I could watch an hour video of someone preparing meals for their kids. But it’s so relaxing. And inspiring to a mom of 1 at the same time!
The way you know which yogurt flavor to give each of them, or like another comment mentioned, the way you but Brees sandwich different... You're such a pure soul, an angel on earth. The amount of respect I have for you, is through the roof.
It’s amazing how this lady does all this and still makes the effort to put herself together with hair and makeup. Love it! Such a warrior! Also, I have a blended family too. I have one biological sister and two adopted much younger (20+ years) siblings. It’s a blessing, folks.
I dont know why these videos are so relaxing to me. It makes it feel like home. I love having this on in the background when I'm just coking dinner or getting my day ready for the next day. I live alone so it oddly feels like having family life going on around even though I'm the only one here.
I live alone too and feel the same way. I grew up with 8 siblings and now as a widow, I love hearing these videos playing in my house.
@@vickiea3345 I grew up with one older brother, my mum, and my dad was always away working. Somehow even going from living with 1 person to alone is verrrrrrrry quiet.
Yessssss
I think that’s why most of us watch lol. It gives you that cozy feeling like when you watch an episode of Full House or some other cheesy sitcom. I’m divorced and my daughter just moved out, but I don’t mind it at all😆. Most of my life has been spent taking care of others so getting to be selfish for once is an extremely welcoming change. I put stuff like this on in the background while I work on one of the many things I’m busy doing because I have ADHD and have an extreme hobby jumping problem 😁
I’m 19 and I’m not a mom but I never had a mom like you. Your videos give me peaceful company and I’m so thankful for you!
I would be a mom to you if I knew you🤗
My youngest is 28 and I miss being needed ......
I feel the same way!! She makes me feel at peace! Don't get me wrong, my mom was great, love her to death, but sometimes I wished she packed me a lunch once in a while. I always remember her saying "You pack your own lunch or you don't eat." I was always surprised when all my school mates would say their moms packed their lunches. I thought it was normal for the kid to pack their own.
@@angiegryszan2005 im 21 and I'm looking for a mom to adopt me! lol
Same wishing I had this
@@mistystar8683 it's also good that your mom raised you to be independent. I grew up in a big family and had to pack my own lunch, and I preferred it that way
I love how respectfully you talk about bio parents ❤️ I can’t imagine how thankful they are, their little one gets a good life, and how much at the same time it would hurt that they couldn’t do the same.
😢
I would love to watch the kids having their breakfast! I always end up wanting to watch their dinamic after watching you work so hard to prepare everything
Me too!
Thank you for being such an inspiration and a joy to watch! You really do inspire me to be better. Thank you as well for sharing so much of your lives with us the internet isn't always a kind place and your family most certainly does not deserve judgement or hate. Your children are blessed to have you in their corner, what a fierce advocate you are for all of the children in your home.
Sending nothing but love and good vibes, always
Thank you so much!!
@@DoughertyDozen could you please keep me in prayer. My dad has dementia it is hard. I lost my 2 years ago to cancer.
As a 36 year old picky eater, I just have to say, I am SO impressed that you do not judge your kids different tastes, you make them what you know they will eat, even if that means making 12 different lunches. I so admire that you don't just make them "eat what you made" and let them get something else if they don't like the dinner. I also do this with my kids (I only have 2) because as an adult I don't like certain things so I don't eat them, why should my kids have to as well? Also, I am the person who can't handle chewy chicken and it will stop my from eating, so thank you on behalf of those kids for your consideration about that! I also can't do ground beef because of the gristle inside. I only use ground turkey in everything I cook because of it.
I know right??? I'm a picky eater and I swear I have PTSD everytime someone invites me to dinner lol 😆 😂
@@leahalford5769 Saaaame. Even as a kid, I was the "weirdo" who would go to someones house to stay the night or something and the family would make a dinner I didn't like so I wouldn't eat and everyone thought I was so strange.
Imagine arguing with so many kids about food? Haha might as well just make them happy and fed hehe ❤️
Stay at home mom of 2, and I have Multiple Sclerosis, my oldest is 9 with ADHD, and a 2 year old. Both girls. I absolutely love you, your family, and your videos. Your sign-off message is absolutely beautiful. I'm pretty new to your channel and have started trying to get at least one project or chore done during your videos! Today the toddler and I got some seeds started for our indoor greenhouse area! I'm absolutely amazed with you and how you handle everything! Took this whole video to get six individual seed pots started and a small tray filled with soil and flower seeds! If I didn't have the toddler help I could've gotten more done, but with my MS, moving slow through projects and chores is actually better. We are watching from California!
I hear you!! Be proud of e every single accomplishment. Having MS is not easy, so be proud of the little things. I have rheumatoid arthritis and struggle myself. You're doing great!
@@christinalarson54 thank you! 😊
We're not less by being slower. Perhaps we're better? Im Learning through life's experiences that's what's it's about. But until one experiences life they may not understand. I salute you beautiful mama! You are amazing & do more than most! ❤
I have Multiple Sclerosis as well and it's not easy children and work. I feel you!
As a kid of a dad with Multiple Sclerosis (14 years since diagnosis) I want you to know how amazing you are, I truely admire how well you involve yourself in doing activities with you kids. Because of the severity of my dads condition at the age of 6 I had to help take care I my infant sister as my mum was so focussed on my dad ( we’re both girls too) and I would have loved to do have that one-on-one time with my dad. You are an amazingly strong parent and an even more incredible person!! I give you all my appreciation xxxx
You rock!!! You get more done before 6:00am then I do all day.😊 Blessing to you and your family!!❤️
SAME! lol
Thank you so much for posting so regularly. I don’t know why, but your videos relax me and motivate me all at the same time. My husband and I are pursuing adoption and watching you pour love into you’re adopted kiddos makes me excited to do the same. Thank you for being an inspiration to us all. ❤️
And thank you for wanting to do that line of work!!!! I am a nurse. Or i would have taken in kids......i loveeee kids i had 2 boys and all the neighbors kids were at my house...pizza parties. Going swimming or to movies or just out to eat. I worked ni by ts just sp i could be with them more
Enjoying the videos. I have a tip for mixing dry ingredients like flour and wet ingredients like oil together put in the wet ingredients in first so they sit at the bottom of the bowl, then put the dry ingredients on top so they don’t sit at the bottom of the bowl and you don’t have to scrape them up after mixing.
I absolutely love that you keep their biological parents involved its beautiful that your family is open to having their bio parents involved and that you care for their parents like they are part of the family you guys are just a blessing all 14 of you ❤️
This showed up on my home page and it was so relaxing to watch you prep for 14 kids. I watched all the way through and my heart is full right now from your aura. Immediately hit the sub. button, can’t wait to watch more.💖💖💖
Hi Alicia, I am located in Germany, med student ohne month before my final exam . I have 3 Kids, 6, 2, 3 and 1. I like your videos because they show ne what us achievable as a mom in one day. Also, I learned from you That it ok to fulfill kids wishes according to food. And i realised That a mom like you was missing in my childhood. You are Not only Kind of healing my inner Child But also I am learning how to be a better mum to my Kids. Thank you so much
I love watching you here in Australia! It’s 10pm here and I always fall asleep to your morning routines! You make me feel so safe ❤️🧇🧁
🧡🧡🧡
What same
Same lol
It is 7:13 am here and I always start my day with her videos ❤❤❤
Me too
I love watching these videos. I don’t have kids, will never have kids but there’s something so relaxing about watching you make meals for your kids. I think it’s the natural smile you always have on while you talk about them or when you’re cutting their sandwiches. You can tell you love to care of them. Some people were just meant to be parents and you and your husband were absolutely meant to have a family.
I just came across your channel by way of one of your shorts. You rock all of that before 6am. I thank it’s amazing how you can remember what ever kid likes their crazy schedule, and that you include the biological parents. I’m going to binge watch you as I sit here and work today. One thing though I had to do the 🤦🏽when you didn’t wash those apples 🍎, 🫑 and the chicken….. can’t wait to follow you guys Journey I hope you had a wonderful Mother’s Day
I love how much of a role mode, you are, such a strong mama 🥰 And I love your patience and how you get up at 4-5am to do all that you do. I hope after you get to rest/relax while most of the kids are in school. Since you get lunch and dinner ready so early. I wish I had half the patience/ energy lol. I'm working on it. The patience is a working process. 💙💜 Much love, stay safe, healthy, happy and blessed 💞
Okay.. I have reply comments below in a couple of the items but I need to add this as a stand-alone comment.
Thank you for your videos. I am 57 and lost my mother 35 years ago. I lost her shortly before Mother’s Day and so this weekend for me is horrible. Watching you and your family give me a measure of peace that I really haven’t had in quite some time. I’m divorced now and I don’t have kids and was an only child so weekends like this that are all about family? Yeah they kind of suck.
I completely recognize that not everybody has a great relationship with their mother. For those of you that do, and are still lucky enough to have her with you make sure you give her an extra hug this weekend. For those that don’t have the best relationship, find someone who means something to you and give them the extra hug this weekend.
Sorry - off the soapbox now. I’m Canadian 🇨🇦 so I had to add the sorry 🙂
I am so glad I found your UA-cam channel! I actually found you originally on Instagram and purposely searched to see if you had longer videos. I follow a few larger families like our tribe of many and jamerille as well. We are a growing family of 8 right now and I'm always looking for inspiration from other mamas with lots of kiddos to see how they get it all done!
I love how real you are! I look forward to seeing more of you and your family! From one mama to another, you really are amazing! 😅❤
Thank you for making these videos. I actually woke up at 5am this morning got some of my house cleaned got the pool cleaned did some laundry and woke my kids up to get ready for school and we actually had a nice morning, not everybody running around rushing and grumpy. I really appreciate you and the example you set for me. ♥️
Hey girl, i just found your channel and I'm loving it! A couple of tips from an old farm wife... feed your chickens the shells from your eggs, it gives them nutrients from the shell and makes the yolk better (could be an old wives tale) also, keep your baking soda in a mason jar to keep it fresh! I always dump 3/4 of the box in a jar and put the rest in your fridge to help with any food odours. Looking forward to learning more about your channel. Hugs from Ontario Canada, Brenda & my therapy dogs, Harold, Lloyd & Leonard
The fact you make them all their own type of sandwich and even cut them how they like makes you such a rockstar mom. This is only the second video i've watched of yours but I think you are awesome!
@ 58.30 I too jumped for you on your accomplishment. You are beyond motherly. I am sure when your children watch this video after few years, they will burst in tears (tears of joy). I am sure by now they already know that the best thing happened with them is that you are there. God bless, no words and keep rocking and jumping the way you did at the end.
I have read some of the comments and while some of them have a point, they are not in the Dougherty dozens shoes. Being adopted I appreciate the way they make sure the children have all they need,be it food,clothes,or electronics,as we all know not all if many are treated as such. I understand the curiosity of others considering their finances, but once again,it is not our business. I believe she has given the children a chance at normalcy, and feel as if they don't want to be on social media they are allowed to say so. Those children are not silenced in their quest to be children. I personally would have gone insane at the noise of crying children but that's expected. As it has been stated so many of the children have food aversion, at least they are eating. You see her buy very few things for herself. Wine coolers,creamer..Oh wow...Tar and feather her..It doesn't matter how much she spends on food,or how she makes lunches, or cooks breakfast,and dinner. They are taking care of children whom otherwise would be lost in the system. Yes, we can condem,critique and complain,but why? The most important thing everyone misses is the Love they so freely give to the children,and other family members. Yes,it is chaotic,loud,and oh so very,very busy. And as with everything that is on UA-cam, ticktoc,Instagram it is your choice not to watch or watch them.. no one is making you. I had 4 children under 4 and if I hadn't been organized know I would have been insane. Yes,it is uncouth to fart, but hey,real life and I'm pretty sure it wasn't on purpose. It is easy to judge others.. I do and have, not often but I do. I would rather give credit where credit is due, instead of looking for the negatives. I have only recently been following them,but admire anyone who gets up at 4 a.m. to make bread,cook breakfast,prepare dinner and take children to their chosen schools only to come home and do the same for the other children. I admire her for saying "my children"
Can’t work out why I love watching these so much but I’m always amazed that the kids sleep through all the mixing, chopping, talking at 4 AM 😂😂 You are amazing- Mom of the Year hands down! 🏆
Will you considering doing some “day in my life” videos. I’d love to see what your full day looks like.
Agree
Yes!!! I hope it includes at least an hour of some down time if anyone deserves it it’s her
It's so amazing and kind that you still recognize all the kids biological parents on Mother's day. I can't say I know any foster / adoptive parents that do the same. You are truly doing God's work. You deserve all the happiness and blessings in the world!
I love watching you..I have 2 boys 16 years apart, 24 and 40 now...a teen and a toddler overwhelmed me often, on top of a nursing career as a single mom..you amaze me..its def in your heart n soul n the joy shines thru you like a rainbow after the rain..✌💜😊
Sending you so much love from London 💜🙏🏾☺️ I've mentioned before but I grew up in care over here and gosh I wish I had had someone like you. The way you care and take time to understand everyone of your children's mindsets and needs is essential 💜🙏🏾💜😍 you do it so well. Love you all so much xxxx
🧡🧡🧡
@@DoughertyDozen eeeekkk love you guys 😍🤗😍🤗😍🤗😍
Just knowing where the recipe is, is enough!! You have a lot on your plate already!! I love your channel it's so relaxing to watch, while eating or preparing meals for my family 8!!
Happy Mother's Day to all the moms out there/ Alicia love how you show the kids how much you love them every day. I love how you put what they like in their lunch bags and how you make sure to put their names on every lunch bag, so they know it is their favorite meal.
You are amazing - getting up at 4 am everyday and remembering such detail of what each kid loves. Such love
One of the best parts of the day are when you post videos! It really starts the day off on a happy note. Helps me to stay positive. Thank you to you and your amazing family!! ❤️
I’m about to be a single mom, and she gives me so much hope that I can do a good job, if she can do such an amazing job at it with 12, (which is obviously extremely hard but I bet extremely rewarding) I believe i can do it alone with my baby.
Thank you for being an inspiration
Edit: these videos are so hard to watch during pregnancy, they get me so hungry
I really hope that you know what a beautiful person you are -so inspirational and so caring for others and I didn’t hear you complain ONCE!! I only heard you “speak love” throughout this hole video and when all of your kids sees these videos they will feel so loved❤️👍 you are soooooo incredible and I give you my highest respect👍👍👍👍
I just bumped into one of your videos and I am so glad I did. I just want to say “ God bless you for keeping the birth mom in the kids lives as well”. Not to ramble on but I unfortunately got with the wrong crowd when I was younger and it totally messed me up to the point I lost my daughters. However myself and my daughters were not as lucky and we were kept apart. On a good note though…I’m 100 % clean and sober now and I have a healthy relationship with both of my daughters and my new grand baby. Just know all the kids are going to respect you so much for everything you do. You rock!!!
I love hearing about your open adoptions. But hearing about the Mother’s Day calls and visits was so heartwarming. It must be a kind of difficult day for the mothers who have had their children adopted out at older ages and due to issues that brought them to foster care. It’s touching for all of you mothers involved, but those children are really blessed that you foster that love and such openness.
💯💜💜💜
I love the new camera position 👍 it’s fun to see all the sandwiches be made 😌 and yes to lettuce in sandwich 😆 love it when there’s a nice crunch.
You are incredible & deserve the best. I cannot imagine your job. You have so much love, compassion, consideration, patience, & heart. Sending so much love your way to you & the whole family!
Hi Alicia👋👋👋 You’re such an incredible human, your heart is huge, I commend you for enabling your adopted children to see their biological parents, I don’t think every one would be the same so freely and therefore I feel that they should do whatever possible to make things easier for you, especially if they’re wanting to spend time with their kids, you go above and beyond therefore a little inconvenience for them should be no issue at all as a matter of fact it should be a blessing. I can’t remember my mom making lunches for me let alone getting breakfast on the table for me before school, she worked full-time🤷🏻♀️ regardless I honestly don’t remember her doing that for me or my brothers. I hope you have a happy and blessed Mother’s Day and everyday. TYFS, Happy Mothers Day! Enjoy and be blessed♥️💫✨👼🏻✨💫♥️
You’re the only thing keeping me sane through my 2nd year of college. Down time?? Time to watch some Dougherty Dozen videos!! Thank you for all you do!!🥹❤️
Literally same. Second year of college and Alisha from New York is the only think not making me go off the deep end 🤣🤦🏻♀️
@@ameliaschultz565 yesss!! There’s something about it that is so therapeutic and relaxing to me and it just makes me happy🥰
Omg same! Here Im, mid finals, needing this content like never before 😃
so we're all just miserable college students watching moms cook? 😩🤣
I'm learning to put a cover in my slow cooker, genius! I got 5 kids, and we and working to get certified for fostering. Gotta watch you for all the tips and tricks momma! 😘
Watching you make all those individual sandwiches for all your kids really touched my heart. Lots of parents would just make them all the same but you put love and care into each individual one it's such a blessing to see
Idk how to say this other than you’re a great mom! How you get up at 4 am put on a fit and make and make breakfast lunch and dinner in an hour is beyond me! Especially with all your energy! I can only hope that when I become a mom and a foster mom I can be as high energy as you are!
My 9 year old is just as invested in your vlogs as I am😬🤣 "Wait! Did they get 2 more kids?!" Thank you for sharing content I can feel good about sharing with my kiddos. 💗 "I get to be mom. I GET to make dinner." Sometimes it gets lost in the shuffle what a privilege it is that God gave me His babies and I GET to do this. THANK YOU. 💜
Did you know that the food safety guidelines say NOT to wash you chicken anymore… that it’s already cleaned and by “washing” it at home it just spreads bacteria & that the bacteria will be cooked off of the chicken once it’s cooked anyway 🐓🍗
God bless your Family 🕊💛🙏
Really love how organised you are and that you have a system for each part of what you need to get ready, including grouping everything so it's ready when you need it. First time watching and I'm impressed! Is that a reusable cover for the slow cooker or do you buy them individually? I've never seen one before but can tell it would make cleaning up much easier once you're done!
I just wanted to say thank you for making these type of videos . I’ve been going through a lot and when I was you guys , it takes my mind off of it . You guys are amazing xo
Just Loove The Dougherty Dozen!😊💞😊 You are such a Blessing in this world!😍😍 Your meals ALWAYS look Yummy!😋😋
🥰🥰🥰
I agree with you
your videos bring me such comfort, love from Dublin 🇮🇪❤️
Alicia, honey, you are trully an angel!! I have never met a mother like you, your children are so so soooo lucky to have you and your husband nurture and love them so dearly!!
I have a question: how do you guys manage to have enough money? I mean the weekly groceries cost like a little fortune!!
I wish you all the very best and may you all be blessed!!
I don't no how you do all the shopping lunch sandwiches n put groceries away n cooking cleaning I give it to u girl u got it down pat ur a great mom n Foster Mon I'll give it to u. U have a heart of gold love ya Alicia keep up the good work .. do u you get stressed out I bet u do. Ur great lady love ya all be safe
Oh my god the fact she Remembers what each child likes for their lunches is amazing I struggle with 3 sandwiches of choice. What an amazing woman/mama to include all the bio mums in the kids life's. 👏 Needs to be more people in this world like you ❤❤
Mad respect, I struggle to pull myself out of bed 10 minutes after I was supposed to start work each morning.
Bonus points for the mustard smiley face, I hope they all appreciate what you do for the family :)
Sameee
I appreciate your organization. I live alone, but this is very admirable. Taking the time to have a good set routine can really help you reduce stress of getting ready for the rest of the day. You are amazing!
What an amazing mom right there that's has to take a lot of work memoriesing everything the way she did!! She does so much for those kids I hope they know!! God bless
Not going to try to explain it. But I have been in a dark space, tired and unmotivated. Your carefree energy has helped me to remember not to over complicate things, and enjoy my responsibilities. They are a blessing if I allow them to be.
So true
I went and finally got everything to make the pumpkin chocolate chip bread. I couldn't watch anymore of your videos unless i made this. You're always making this and i always say I'll get the stuff next time🤷😂😂😂So tomorrow morning im going to get up before my daughter and make this for her...im so excited!
The first video I watched of yours was a weekly grocery hall and was a little shocked at all the processed/pre packaged/thus costly food. Now I see this one and I am like DAMN GIRL... I love that you buy easy to accommodate each kiddo. You are so organized and attentive. If I lived by you I would volunteer time everyday to help you.
You, my friend, are a SAINT. Wow. The effort you put into making your children's day special and the attention to detail is out of this world. You go to great. lengths to do everything you can to create loving relationships between your adopted kids and their bio parents. You are a role model for me and I hope to be half the mom you are when my husband and I finally see the end to our infertility journey of 10 years.
Thank you so much 😀🧡🧡🧡
Love quick breads. Measuring is much more casual and forgiving. Happy Thursday!
You keep doing YOU!! I have such respect
You are a real blessing to these precious kids! I thank God for you!! May the Lord keep you healthy to be able to continue to show love and care for all these kids!!
I'm a mom of four, number five on the way. Your videos fascinate me. I don't think i could get that much done in less than an hour, even if everything is prepped. But you are doing it right in front of me lol, and while you keep moving and working, it doesn't seem too rushed or panicked like i would be. Anyway, if i had to describe you and your brood with three words, i think it would be:
Mind over matter.
I love that Bohdi repurposed your reusable baggies! So adorable.
Watching from Dublin 💕 find watching your videos so therapeutic. Keep up the inspirational work x
This reminds me of working in Childcare and prepping all the lunches and snacks! You get SO good at prepping and thinking in bulk! You are a fabulous mum (Aussie) that those kids must truly adore!!!
Just came across your videos and you rock. I'm worn out just watching your morning routine. Such a caring Mom and Foster Mom.
You are a wonderful mother! Congratulations❤👍
I love the gradual lightning outside the window from this angle. 💜 Hope y'all have a great day!
I enjoy watching you and your beautiful family. You and your husband truly are a wonderful pair. I've seen you prepare breakfast, lunch, and dinner. I have seen you and your family eat dinner, it was the Easter video. Do you think that one morning you could do a video of the children eating breakfast, and heading off to school? I know you drive the two newest children to their current schools, but it would nice to see a morning routine. God bless you and your family!
Lol.. Let the children have their privacy na..
If you have time or want to, can you make a video going over the food theme nights? I think it’s super cool that your students are involved in the planning of the week.
I love how you talk to us through the whole routine. You’re amazing!
Facts . .. . Agreed 👍👍
As a younger woman with zero kids just yet you make me feel so excited to want to make my kids a home-cooked meal and even packed lunch because, I hated my school lunches and this allows kids to get a good portion of nutrition
I love how you just make sure all the kids have what they like. You are a great mom for doing wat you do. I have three kids and I have a disable daughter. She can only eat mashed up food. Thank you for being so loving. I am proud of you also. Sending hugs.
You are such a wonderful mom. I love how you include their biological mothers and their families with yours you are such a great person you have a big heart and so does your your husband such a wonderful family
I've never clicked so fast! I look forward to your uploads so very much. You are such an inspiration. Keep shining like the diamond you are 💎

I have 3 kids and u remember more about 12 them I can about 3. Granted 2 of mine are grown and my last one is almost 17 but still. You are an amazing mom. I love seeing u shop and remember exactly what each kid likes etc. U clearly love your family so much. I was adopted and love seeing other adoption success stories in action because they show so many bad examples on the news etc.
This is the rawest video I'm seeing..usually youtubers show that they are perfect and everything goes according to plan but you really shwo what goes around in a household. Things are messy, chaotic, yet it's all happening cause of love and care.
You should start all your morning videos “but first, coffee” and all the afternoon/evening ones “but first, white claw” and coffee and white claw should both sponsor you. And yes, alllll the coffee should sponsor you, not just one brand 😂😂😂😂 AND wegmans. Come on wegmans! Sponsor the woman!!!!
The respect I have for you for one being a mom to soooo many amazing kids and also knowing that the kids with their bio moms are going to still wanna see their moms and you don’t overstep boundaries with the kids I love it so much I want to say so many more kind things but my thumbs can’t keep up with it😂 but I’m so happy for you and I respect you so much💜
Sitting here watching this video reminded me of your video going or needing to go and buy Brown sugar because yours became hard. There is a disc you can get to put in the bag once opened to help keep it soft. But my mom use to put a piece of bread in after it was opened. Thanks for sharing your family and the inspirational videos.
Wow, you are a super mom!! You are an absolute Earth Angel to adopt so many children and include their bio-parents for special occasions. Honey, they should be buying you gifts for being the best mom for their children but I realize that you are doing it for the children. God bless you and your family.
I love the “but first coffee” have a great day!
Snack ideas for later, deviled eggs, tuna, chicken , or egg salad on crackers or finger sandwiches if you have leftover rye bread you could use that or cocktail rye breads. Peanut butter and or jelly crackers peanut butter with apples or bananas, fluff and peanut butter on gram crackers. Golden gram bars with chocolate chips. My rice crispy bars one cup peanut butter added to the original recipe in place of the butter. Spread melted chocolate chips on top. The rest is the same as normal recipe.
I love her and appreciate all she's doing. It's not easy. The diet is very sugary though... I've noticed. Jelly annd bread. There's no protein or nutrition but maybe they get it in other meals?!
You’re an early riser!
I’m from Massachusetts and I’m so glad to see one of the kids love Fluff
I’m 62 and I still love a “Fluffanutter”
