I absolutely LOVE that you guys have a family Bible-and-prayer time in the mornings; when I was little we would read Bible stories and pray together as a family before going to bed, and now that I’m grown up and married, my husband and I pray together every morning when we wake up, and every night before we fall asleep ☺️🙏🏻🙏🏻 As you say, it is a special moment where we come together in thankfulness and peace, can cast all our cares onto God, and either go into the day or fall asleep feeling peaceful, calm, connected to one another and connected to God. I absolutely love hearing about you guys’ faith; definitely feel free to share as much as you feel comfortable sharing!! ☺️😘💕
Great vid and edits! I'm an Aeheist, and love how open you are about your religion and break it down so your kids/viewers can understand it from your point of view. I love when people can believe or not in something but still have an open mind and respect other's.
Why are you here, Timothy Gil? Every comment you have made is either rude or negative. Go enjoy your own company elsewhere. And for the record, Jaii gogetit said nothing about respecting their religion or them respecting his lack thereof. He was speaking about being respectful of others. Try it some time. Sheesh.
I love the fact that you guys pray every morning and I love that you show that since not many youtubers talk religion. I like that I can make a connection
Bonnie I literally cried watching you guys talk about how you fit scripture and prayer into your morning routine. I was so touched that you shared that time with us. I feel so inspired to fit this into our morning routine better. We usually pray in the car on the way to school but it always feels so rushed. Thank you so much for sharing
I personally love when you have scripture in your videos. I hope it is received well. Even if it isn't, you show how to live by serving others and just being kind, patient and nurturing. I watch all of your sibling's videos, and love love love Grandma and Grandpa's videos. ❤ from Panama City, FL
Love that you showed the scripture reading part of your morning! My kids aren’t school age yet, and I’m not LDS, but I do hope to make the time in the morning to have a family bible study/reading when they get there!
I love that you guys re group and say a prayer together before the days activities. Lincoln is getting so big. Loved to see him folding his arms and then when he said Amen was so endearing.. I love how structured your days are Bonnie. I have always felt that children thrive with a structured routine and all your children are well mannered and I love that they don’t fight you in the mornings like my youngest used too. What wonderful parents you and Joel are!!
I think it is so beautiful that you read scripture and have prayer as a family in the morning. It’s definitely something I want to do when I have a family of my own in the future! ☺️ I just love your sweet family!!
Bonnie I hope you read this. I think one thing that might really help your kids stay on track in the morning is a little checklist downstairs for them to go by before they go upstairs just to make sure they have what you want done. I have one for my kids and it saves my sanity lol.
I do not go to church regularly but I do really believe in prayer. When I have kids going to school I would love to have morning prayer with them. Thanks for the idea Bonnie!
I love your morning routine, there's a lot I can learn from and incorporate into our routine. I just wanted to say, I'm not a religious person but I am glad that you shared your morning family prayer, even though you were hesitant to. I think it's nice to see a family come together and it's something powerful so although I am not someone you would label as a Christian, I am glad you shared it, it's something positive and I love seeing people be positive with their families, no matter what faith it comes from. Thank you for being vulnerable and sharing your faith.
I love how organized this is, and that there is time in the mornings for them to tidy up their room, AND have a family prayer time before school! How early does everyone wake up in the mornings before school? I feel like when I was growing up, we were always rushing out the door.
I start junior year in high school tomorrow so I won’t be able to watch your videos til later in the day, I’m gonna miss that bc I always wake up to your vlogs❤️❤️❤️❤️
Hey Bonnie, I don’t usually comment on your videos, but I really had to say something. Even though personally I’m not a religious viewer, I find it beautiful that 1) you take the time each and everyday to bond with your family and allow them to read the scriptures. 2) you display your religious beliefs. So many youtubers are afraid to show their beliefs yet you’re open about it. Stay awesome girly. Thank you for being an honest youtuber and not hiding. I really appreciate the transparency.
Our daughter started TK last week. Unfortunately, it's "late start" (10:10) and I'm amazed at how difficult that is on our routine!! And your explanation of gathering for reading of dogma and family worship is akin to many cultures' similar practices of family prayer and meditation. The meditation aspect of the prayer is such a gift for your children. It is a practice that will serve them well into adulthood. Religious or not, centering oneself in the morning, giving a moment in time for your space in the universe, on the planet, it's all beautiful. Thank you for continuing to share your authenticity.
I’m also lds! Love that you shared how you incorporate faith and religion in your life in today’s vlog. Because as a fellow Mormon, I know that my faith in god is the foundation of my home and my life and there is nothing that means more to me. Love you all so much!
I LOVE how you start your day with The Lord and Prayer🙏🏻. A family that prays together stays together. You’re family will be so much stronger starting your day with the Lord🙏🏻
Love the morning routine! It was such a good reminder for us to pray and do scripture study in the morning! We do it often before bed but that is a perfect way to start the day!
I think its great to do the Scripture on the vlog its a very good thing and reminds me as a mother to make sure I myself start our day this way and how important it is
My husband and I read Jesus Calling and Jesus Always with our three kiddos (ages 5, 3, and 2) every morning and we read Jesus Calling (kids version) during our bedtime routine. Love that you shared this part of your morning with us! Take care and God Bless! Missy Schmitt (from southern Indiana)
Bonnie, when your instant pot says the L..., your oatmeal is cooked. You just have to flip the valve to release the pressure manually. You did what is called natural release and it takes a LONG time. But there is no need to wait for that ;-)
My parents never even woke up with me to get ready for school once I hit fifth grade. I can’t remember a time they did before, even though I knew they would’ve had to. I love families like this!
Hey hoellein Family, I really enjoyed your guys routine for your kids I liked it more because you guys included how you read scriptures and pray before going to school and it’s so cute. I hope you guys show more of your Mormon side. Love you guys!
I can't wait to get my book and I am loving this morning routine. I am a new mama, my daughter will be 1 year old this month and I always take some sort of ''Parenting Advice'' from you guys and Ellie and Jared as well. You've helped me in more ways than one.. it gets me very motivated to be a better person and try to make everyday a good day. Love you guys! Been here since day 1, and will be here until the end. :)
Oh no!! Don't feel bad, Bonnie! I've had the same thing happen to me with the InstantPot and trying to make a special breakfast! At least they got to eat something! It's hard trying new things sometimes!
I havnt been watching ur viedos for long and i noticed ur channel off of the 8 passenger and just want to say u to are very good parents from the time i started watching u You guys theres no spankin theres no screaming at the kids when they dont do somethin andi love it
Bonnie i loved the morning routine. I agree the morning devotion with the family is very important, thank u for sharing that part also. You are an amazing family.❤
I can’t tell you how much I loved this video. I’ve always been so interested in seeing you talk and share more about your faith, so I’m really glad you did. I would love for you to keep sharing more 💜
I think its great that you read the kids scriptures, my family doesnt go to church so i feel like we all have a different thought process when it comes to that, bit as far as ik my family beleieves well the fam that lives in my house
Boston is such a mommas boy and I love that about him. Bonnie you are so good to your kids. With Boston being in school now, how is he doing with not having quiet time with you?
My kiddos start school on Thursday! Im nervous and excited all at the same time to just have my 14mo old home with me. I'll hace to first graders this year!!
My routine from morning to night including sleep is absolutely essential for me to get my things done if my routine is difficult i just go with the flow and when i go to Italy next week i will be in relax mood
I love that you read the scriptures every morning! Thank you for sharing that with us! Do you notice a difference though when you take a break from the Bible in the summer? I suffer if I do! Its like I'm starving myself spiritually and it effects every area of my life. I hope you have a blessed school year guys! Ps. I've never figured out my instant pot either! It never takes the amount of time you enter. It's like it takes ten minutes to preheat or something????
Although I don’t follow a religion I love the way you come together in the morning to gather your thoughts over scriptures and be a family. I love that 💓
Bonnie your daily routine with the children is great. Cooking breakfast into a rice cooker, it's easy to conferring. ; But I would work with it until it's perfect in your eye's, then you can add bananas, raisins cranberries strawberry even a picture to of walnuts or almonds will have one heck of a breakfast. Love you guys keep us informative . On how your new routine.
Jaii gogetit what I do is wake up go to the toilet go get breakfast then get changed then brush teeth then brush hair so I go to school with a mintaaaaaay mouthhhh
Hi Guys!!! You are the best😍 I watch you every morning as soon as I wake up. Your kids are so sweet kind and funny I love it. I wish I could meet you all. I hope this school year is great for Cody, Boston, and Olivia. I love you all so much you guys are the best no matter what😃😘💜
Lakia hey bunny this is lakia I watch your videos everyday they are so funny and cute I love your kids and you and your husband from lakia I live in Pine Hill New Jersey
I LOVE that you take the time to read and pray with the kids each morning! 💜 I am also feeling like I need to pull my morning routine together a lot more haha 😂
Hi Bonnie 👋🏼 Love your morning routine!! We recently filmed our morning routine video and with 5 kids in our household, lets just say it was a little crazy 🤣 You are so organised! I love it.. Thank you so much for sharing your routine with us ❤️
I have been watching your videos for over two years and this whole time I thought you only had one bathroom (upstairs) 😂 i always thought you were such a saint sharing one with 4 kids 😂🤪
I have a routine, which I follow everyday. it gives more structure and it helps that way you don't get to bored. also Bonny you're doing well to start a new routine :)
I totally understand why you would not love to share the part of your morning that has to do with religion. It’s hard to know that some people hate what you believe in. No matter what it is. It truly makes sense. And you can talk to people about faith that share the same beliefs. But it’s difficult to share that with the world! I hate to say it but our world has turned into a ball of hate. Some people hate Muslims, others Catholics and Christians sometimes Mormons. Then there are the people who hate Democrats, and the other side that hates republicans. It’s rough knowing that there are people out there who hate the way you think, believe, dress, look, smell, and could care less about you. And you are spreading that positivity that our world needs and taking time with your children to know that and I think that it is truly beautiful!💫
I liked the routine. Its nice you take a minute to all sit together before the day starts and they leave clean, fed and loved
I absolutely LOVE that you guys have a family Bible-and-prayer time in the mornings; when I was little we would read Bible stories and pray together as a family before going to bed, and now that I’m grown up and married, my husband and I pray together every morning when we wake up, and every night before we fall asleep ☺️🙏🏻🙏🏻 As you say, it is a special moment where we come together in thankfulness and peace, can cast all our cares onto God, and either go into the day or fall asleep feeling peaceful, calm, connected to one another and connected to God.

I was waiting to see the result of the oats! They would have totally been done you just needed to release the pressure!!
mama ils it was killing me. I’m like just release the pressure 🙈🙈🙈🙈 hehe
I think it is so beautiful that you read scripture and have prayer as a family in the morning. It’s definitely something I want to do when I have a family of my own in the future! ☺️ I just love your sweet family!!
I love that y’all share scriptures and pray together. 💗
Love that your family takes time for scriptures and prayer before school every morning.
Bonnie I hope you read this. I think one thing that might really help your kids stay on track in the morning is a little checklist downstairs for them to go by before they go upstairs just to make sure they have what you want done. I have one for my kids and it saves my sanity lol.
You are very courageous to share your morning scripture reading and prayer routine! Thank you for sharing your light with the world! ❤️
I do not go to church regularly but I do really believe in prayer. When I have kids going to school I would love to have morning prayer with them. Thanks for the idea Bonnie!

I love that you pray with kids before school! More people need to do it.
I love that you read scripture! ❤️ keep sharing!! I’m not mormon but I am a Christian and I love learning about other religions.
are u catholic or the other one I forget?
I love how organized this is, and that there is time in the mornings for them to tidy up their room, AND have a family prayer time before school! How early does everyone wake up in the mornings before school? I feel like when I was growing up, we were always rushing out the door.
I love that you read scriptures and have family prayer in the morning. I think it helps everyone have a better day!
i love seeing how your faith integrates into your family life and effects your family!
What a touching moment with Boston when he thought you weren’t going to hug him. He’s such a sweet little boy.
Bonnie I’m not religious but I loved your explanation of why you sit with your family for prayers before the day, it is beautiful xxxx 💕
I start junior year in high school tomorrow so I won’t be able to watch your videos til later in the day, I’m gonna miss that bc I always wake up to your vlogs❤️❤️❤️❤️
Bonnie I love watching your videos! Your family has so much love for each other!
I personally love morning vlogs because I usually watch my vlogs while eating breakfast and it’s just a nice way to start the day 😸!
Hey Bonnie, I don’t usually comment on your videos, but I really had to say something.

I love reading the scriptures and family prayer. I need to start getting my family to all get together like that... Love you guys
I think its great to do the Scripture on the vlog its a very good thing and reminds me as a mother to make sure I myself start our day this way and how important it is
Our morning routine is the same! I love centering my family with prayer and a bit of scripture.
who else loves when they do videos like this?
Nope ghgu jnjkuggyuthhtghiyf
Me
I love how you share scripture time. and pray. and talk about God.
I love to see the kids reading the scriptures and praying 🙏
I do overnight oats then just warm them up in microwave in the morning so quick & easy & I think a lot tastier.
My husband and I read Jesus Calling and Jesus Always with our three kiddos (ages 5, 3, and 2) every morning and we read Jesus Calling (kids version) during our bedtime routine. Love that you shared this part of your morning with us! Take care and God Bless!

Loved this video! I felt like it showed more of what you all do on a day to day and loved getting to see your prayer as a part of that.
I cried at Boston’s response to you hugging Olivia and Cody :(((( I love hugging my mom too and I love doing it as much as I can
Hey hoellein Family, I really enjoyed your guys routine for your kids I liked it more because you guys included how you read scriptures and pray before going to school and it’s so cute. I hope you guys show more of your Mormon side. Love you guys!

Love the family scriptures and family prayer!
The most down to earth family on UA-cam !
Love that you shared about scriptures. We are Christian and read the Bible after dinner every evening as a family.
Olivia shirts is so cute!
The boys look so comfy laying on and around you Bonnie ! You all are so blessed with your life!
Love the time you set aside to be together and read scripture!
my favorite thing in the morning is waking up and watching your vlogs!
Boston is such a mommas boy and I love that about him. Bonnie you are so good to your kids. With Boston being in school now, how is he doing with not having quiet time with you?

Loved this! It would be fun to see an evening routine. 😊
I love how calm and un-caotic y'all are in the morning.
I love that you read the scriptures every morning! Thank you for sharing that with us! Do you notice a difference though when you take a break from the Bible in the summer? I suffer if I do! Its like I'm starving myself spiritually and it effects every area of my life. I hope you have a blessed school year guys! Ps. I've never figured out my instant pot either!

Although I don’t follow a religion I love the way you come together in the morning to gather your thoughts over scriptures and be a family. I love that 💓
I absolutely teared up when Bonnie started to tear up talking about your family and religion 💜
I think it's great that you guys read scripture every morning! That is amazing!
I'd love to know what your list of Disney movies is that you'll be watching with Lincoln this winter. That sounds super fun!
Bonnie, your laugh makes my heart smile 💓
I don’t usually make it to your videos because I’m usually asleep when you upload but I love your videos a lot
Have a blessed day guys💗
I think devotion is a great way to get minds in a kind place. 😊❤️
Boston has a heart of gold
The 21 minute on the instant pot is only the time after the cooking where it keeps it warm . You figured that out by now didn’t you 🤣🙃
Awh, Boston! What a sweetheart!
Love ur morning routine and I love ur vlogs and ur family and u guys are such good parents to ur kids
Are you going to put Boston in a sport
I love how you said breakfast is cooking
Bonnie your daily routine with the children is great. Cooking breakfast into a rice cooker, it's easy to conferring. ; But I would work with it until it's perfect in your eye's, then you can add bananas, raisins cranberries strawberry even a picture to of walnuts or almonds will have one heck of a breakfast. Love you guys keep us informative . On how your new routine.
LOVE! That's all I have to say. You have such a beautiful family!
I LOVE THAT YOU READ SCRIPTURES BEFORE SCHOOL!!!!!!
I love you guys sooo much. Thanks for making vlogs every day!
The kids are so cuuute!
Ps. I think it would be a better idea to brush the teeth after breakfast 😚
yuck, brush when u wake up and again after breakfast, or at least rinse
germs build up during the night...
Jaii gogetit what I do is wake up go to the toilet go get breakfast then get changed then brush teeth then brush hair so I go to school with a mintaaaaaay mouthhhh
i always brush after i eat breakfast. it seems counter productive to brush them before eating.
Science shows to brush before
And maybe u should try
Hi Guys!!! You are the best😍 I watch you every morning as soon as I wake up. Your kids are so sweet kind and funny I love it. I wish I could meet you all. I hope this school year is great for Cody, Boston, and Olivia. I love you all so much you guys are the best no matter what😃😘💜
Hi Bon, if it helps, the instant pot starts a timer after it has completed cooking :) the timer tells you how long it has been done :)
I love the before school prayer moments ❤️
I really love your morning routine my favorite part was when you guys prayed ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤💕💕💕💗💗💗
I LOVE this so so much!! Such beautiful things to reflect on, especially involing God in your day. Xox
Lakia hey bunny this is lakia I watch your videos everyday they are so funny and cute I love your kids and you and your husband from lakia I live in Pine Hill New Jersey
