    You're obviously a very invested, kind and loving mother. You bring such a positive bubbly energy and your kids seem to really enjoy being close to you. I grew up the 4th of nine kids with a mother who was kind, loving and present with us. I now have 3 grown kids of my own and although they live away from me, we remained very close. I really enjoyed the process of raising my kids and it's fun to watch you in the thick of raising your kids. You're doing a great job! Thanks for giving us a little peek into your lives.

      Every child is a true blessing. I couldn't have biological children so I became a teacher and foster Mum until I was too sick. I recently became a Mum to a beautiful cavoodle puppy who is such a delight.

    It's wonderful that you purchase lots if veggies, fruits, and very limited processed food. It's Dawn from Cape Coral Florida again. My father was a farmer in the Catskill mountains of NY. We ALWAYS had fresh produce. My mom and dad cooked like you do. Soups, stews, casseroles, etc. I was 14 before I realized that vegetables, fruits, etc, came in cans! I was born in 1961. I have a " hint." If possible, cook your soups, chili's, stews, a day before, and let sit in fridge until the next evening dinner. You will be AMAZED at how much more delicious !

    Great grocery haul. I love the volgs you do of the dinners you have in a week, along with the recipes.
    Please understand there is no judgement here..when my boys were little I learned that when we walked holding their hand, each step we took it took 4-5 steps for our toddler to keep up, so they were running the whole time.
    I absolutely love how kind and generous your children are to each other, great examples they are learning from you and Mark. ❤ 🙏

    Natural Simple Living buys the hamburger patties and uses them as ground beef in lieu of purchasing already ground beef. It's cheaper per pound and grinds up the same.
    Now, the prices might vary from where they live vs New York City.
