    Watching this six years after the fact and knowing all that has happened, this will someday be such a blessing for all of her children to watch as they grow into adulthood. I lost my mom when I was seven years old, and oh, how wonderful it would have been if I could have seen her doing this. Andrea, was an amazing woman. Rest in peace, sweet Andrea we know you’re with the Lord.🙏🏻❤😔

    Hard to believe this vibrant women that worked so hard taking care of her family is gone.. and wow will she be missed after seeing her shop....and do so many things that she did for her kiddo's... I sure pray for each one of those precious kids. Tom has slot to learn and has all these videos to go by...

    Dear Andrea looking down on all of us, I still can't believe your gone. I think Christmas Day 2017 was the 1st time I discovered your channel and have been watching ever since. Though, I somehow missed this one but found others I've been catching up on. To me through these videos you will always be with us. Praying for your beautiful family! Love to them all and the joy you brought to everyone! 💕🙏💕

    I admire your focus, determination and stamina. As a single person that could not have children and has no family I remain amazed by how gracefully you and Tom balance everything. I realize it isn't easy yet both of you work as such a loving and cohesive team that it appears to be second nature. Thank you for sharing your lives via your channel.

    Miss you, Andrea...still hard to believe you’re really gone. I feel so selfish missing you so much. I can’t imagine what Tom and the kids are feeling. I never even met you in person. But by golly you were my friend...and I wish I could see your face and hear your sweet voice in a new homeschool vlog or shop with me video. I sure look forward to heaven and being able to meet you and give you a big hug. I’ll bet the line will be long for that! 💕

    Watching your shopping videos reminds me of shopping for my family of seven. We didn't have a car and had to carry all our goods home. We had to make several trips a week which I hated. The shops only stayed open until 5pm so when I was at work, it was a mad scramble to get the groceries. So glad we can shop on line now and we have a car, although now of course, my family have grown up!

    Having a baby is a natural high for you, You really love it. I can tell you enjoy all the nesting and preparing for the arrival of the new baby. I think being pregnant just gives you more energy, because you really are excited about this baby girl. Im looking forward to her arrival too. I adore your personality. It shines.

    I always smile when this video’s notice pops up in my box. I’m getting ready for my own monthly trip (a lesson I learned from you💕) and it is a BIG list this month with Christmas too. You always amaze me at how much you can fit into a cart. 😊😂. Please take care of yourself-I was very worried for you at the end. You and baby girl will be in my prayers. ❤️🎄🎄🙏🏻

  • @pjl2963

    Aw, Andrea, I was so concerned for you; losing your strength and having trouble breathing! Please don't overdo it again, sweet friend. Hope you're feeling more rested now? Always love going along with you on your shopping trips..just wish I could have literally been there with you, so I could help! I love you and your family, and wouldn't want to see anything happen to you

    • @TheMillsFamilyVlog
      @TheMillsFamilyVlog  7 років тому +16

      It was just such a big trip; I shopped for about 3 1/2 hours with only a few minutes sitting at one point. Then, of course, all of that loading of the van left me a little breathless when I talked to you all. I was fine. If I'd waited a few minutes before talking I wouldn't have been so out of breath!

    • @pjl2963
      @pjl2963 7 років тому +2

    • @momandkidschannel5432
      @momandkidschannel5432 7 років тому +2

      Make sure you stay hydrated while shopping. Especially if you feel you're having contractions which can make you feel out of breath. Water, Coconut water, Vitamin water, even Gatorade. I remember taking a Gatorade off the shelf and drank it before buying it out of desperation before. So buy a drink then shop. :)

  • @bthegingerkitty4251
    @bthegingerkitty4251 7 років тому +6

    I love to go shopping in the late evenings, especially walmart, not as crowded. (Bonus is usually my little people are enjoying time with my hubby and I can take my time without little feet getting tired.)

    • @TheMillsFamilyVlog
      @TheMillsFamilyVlog  7 років тому +10

      I used to always going shopping in the evening for that same reason. I don't do it much anymore, though. It was a bit more awkward doing a video this time because there were lots of employees stocking shelves while I was shopping and they were eyeballing my camera. One of them even asked what I was doing (not in a bad way, just curious.) When I told him, he thought it was a very strange thing to make a UA-cam video about. :)

    • @bthegingerkitty4251
      @bthegingerkitty4251 7 років тому +6

      Andrea Mills I bet that is a bit tricky to get the shopping done whilst filming too. Thank you for doing the awkward part, hope you do know we all appericate it. 4 Wal-Marts here all within 1/2 hr, some silly things to see after 6pm at any one of them lol. Take care lovely lady, we are excited for the live stream.

    @fleurmp3820 7 років тому +2

    Well done! Epic effort. I totally understand what you were saying about not being able to think about more than one shopping list, at a time. I am having that very problem right now. I need to shop for my family Christmas celebration, annual friends Christmas party, Christmas day feasting and plain old regular dinner food! It is all too much for my brain x

  • @tracydavishensley
    @tracydavishensley 7 років тому +18

    Have you ever though about doing your shopping trip in 2 parts? All in the same day. Like go get all the general merchandise, check out and load it in the van. Then go back in and get groceries. It might help with keeping the cart not as heavy and you can get everything you need in one trip. Oh by the way your like super mom. There is no way I could do all that.

    • @TheMillsFamilyVlog
      @TheMillsFamilyVlog  7 років тому +4

      It makes me feel more tired to think about "starting over" once I've already checked out once. :) I can fit everything in while I'm shopping, but once it's bagged up it's hard to get it all in the cart. The clothes shopping trips and Christmas shopping trips are usually the only ones that need two carts, though. The other months I can generally manage everything with one cart.

    • @tracydavishensley
      @tracydavishensley 7 років тому +2

      I can see that. I always dread our shopping trips. We go every 2 weeks. I just can't wait to get it over. You do a really good job at making it look easy.

  • @karbear26
    @karbear26 7 років тому +1

    Wow 4 hours is a long shopping trip but with so many people to shop for I can see how much thought goes into it! I’m glad you listened to your body a took a break during your shopping. Glad you got a snack for yourself after your long trip! That was nice that someone helped you out to your van! I’m pretty sure they’ve done that for you before! It difference in where you live since I don’t think any of our Walmart employees would do that where I’m from!

  • @volition51
    @volition51 7 років тому

    I had to pause the video around 18:15 to say, you are wearing me out, lol. When I realized you were doing all this thinking and decision-making *and taping it at the same time,* I felt completely exhausted!!
    So nice to see all the little baby clothes!!
    Perfect music on the way home!

  • @Hundefan123
    @Hundefan123 7 років тому +1

    Goodness Andrea! I am exhausted from just watching. I know you couldn’t do your Christmas shopping with kids along, but please don’t do anymore of your big shopping events without helpers. I am so glad you have the big boys and Eden to help through the rest of your pregnancy, and after the baby arrives. They will all be great blessings to you.

    I was certainly feeling for you at the end in the van. I was thinking, please just eat your banana and have your nice drink; you and the baby need it. :-) I missed having little ones to buy for once my son and nephews reached a certain age. I only had one younger niece but now there are seven grandnieces and nephews so I am back to buying toys and I love it. I am a frugal gal so I take my time and seek out the clearance items for wonderful and fun stuff. (I try to sneak a bot of education in there once in awhile.)
    I'm excited for another Mills' Christmas! Oh boy! Next year with the new one! That is going to be especially nice. :-D

    Seeing you pick out those sweet little baby clothes at Walmart got me excited for you all over again! What a blessed woman you are. But, Seeing how worn out you were, I wonder if it would be wise for you to bring Thomas along to Walmart with you? It would give him some "Mom time" all to himself and he would be a big help to you. Just a thought. Take good care Andrea.

      This trip was over twice as long as a regular shopping trip (I was in Walmart for 3 1/2 hours!) because of the Christmas shopping. I like shopping by myself; it's kind of my "day off" each month. It's the only time I'm ever alone!

    2018 is blessing our family with babies too. A good sign. You should have brought some of your older boys to help you.

      I like shopping by myself; it's really the only alone time I have. Plus, I was Christmas shopping so I didn't want to have anyone along.

    I guess your butter order from Azure Standard never came.

    Oh how I know the feeling of being that tired! There is no describing that pure exhaustion. (I have 10) Just know it's ok to rest!!! If you haven't already look into Chlorophyll it made a huge difference for me❤

    Does your Walmart do the pick up option? My daughter uses it and loves it..she has a 7 month old baby. You just order online and select a pick up time. They even load it into the car.
