DAY IN A LIFE OF A MOM TO 12 KIDS 

Fyi the pork chops were DELICIOUS! They just look weird😂 but the ‘gravy’ was so so good over the mashed potatoes. Next time I’m going to cook them on lower heat for longer because they were just a little tough.

Such a beautiful family full of polite, kind, wonderful people. Thank you for allowing us to be a part of your family’s adventures 🧡

We lived in Minnesota and Michigan for a short while and had to go to the laundrymat once or twice a week but that was just for a family of five. It was annoying but felt accomplished when it was done. I also had a friend in Michigan that had 7 small children and had to do the same and it was very stressful for her. You gotta do what you gotta do for your babies. Love your channel and how encouraging and positive you guys are.

The day y’all are able to get the septic system working or whatever the issue is on why you can’t use your washer and dryer is the day I’ll be soooo happy for you and the family! Much love and peace to y’all!

Is it weird that I feel guilty for not being able to watch your videos as soon as they come out because of the holidays!? Lol... it's silly, but I'm so happy to be back on board!

Just a friendly question. Why did you do the whites on cold and the darks on warm? I was taught opposite that . 🤷🏼‍♀️

It is awesome to see how far Bree has come since she started horse riding

I'm surprised you don't have a couple commercial washers & dryers. Doing it at home and letting the kids help would be good for them.

Whites can get washed in warm or hot cause no colors to fade. But colors get washed in cold in order not to fade or bleed the colors. FYI 👍🏻

I bet you'll be glad when you're sewer is fixed or you have a different way to do laundry. our laundrymat has a 62lb washer which is 9.50 and I can put 3 to 4 loads in it.

Yay! Thank you for this.. it's cold and gloomy here and it's making me lazy! I needed this motivation from you 🤣 have a great weekend

What happened to daycare for Harley? I get you want her with you for content but at least be transparent that she no longer attends.

Haha the kids in the background cracked me to! I’m sure there is never a dull moment at your house

why the kids dont make their beds themselves?

How is your husband able to come home every day for lunch break? I am a teacher, and I only have 30 minutes for lunch; by the time I drop my kids off at lunch, go to the bathroom and get my lunch heated up, I probably only have about 20 minutes to eat. How was he able to come home every day, and how was he able to watch Harley while you had your meeting? I'm genuinely just curious. Maybe your lunch breaks are longer in New York than in the Midwest

It does take a lot of time for all of it to come together,she does not complain about having to do all the laundry,I think she is an awesome person 😃

Old faithful Halloween spatula haha 🎃 love it

Laundry is my least favorite chore, but I will never complain about it again after watching this! I wonder if there’s a laundry service in your area that will pick up your laundry and bring it back folded and if it’s more cost effective? You’re amazing! Have a good weekend!

Pork chops are great with mashed potatoes also green beans

I love your videos but I've always wondered why u don't have your own washer and dryer at home would save u a lot of money

I wish you would just do these all the time Alicia I just love when you do a day in a life better than anything that you do I will watch that over anything and everything thank you for making my night

I have a learning disability n when I want through classes my parents had to do those IPA MEETINGS TOO NOW I am in going to 42 I have got whole lot better i am still learning I always wanted to finish my education up but life happens I am still love to learn as well thank you 🙏🏼 for being a wonderful amazing strong family 🧡🧡🧡💪🏼🎉‼️

Do you dry everything? Those expensive Nike outfits? I'd never do that. All my nice clothes I hang dry. I pay way too much money for them to shrink or start to discolor from being dried. Lol and I'm a frugal shopper.

Wait, chocolate ice cream 🍫 and orange soda🍊? How'd that go?😬

Do the kids help with chores? do the older ids do their own laundry??

i have a huge german shepherd who loves sleeping on the bed,im like no get off!! hes gets off the bed and waits till im asleep and gets back on when im sleeping, lol and my 2 kittys get on

Girl…. The way you do laundry sends my OCD in over drive lol. Whatever works for you lol.

i make the pork chops all the time...but i put sliced potatoes in as well...sooooo good!!!

I'm watching this as I too am at the laundromat

When my washer broke my mom made me wear my clothes from the day into the shower and just wash them on my body, take it off, rinse it, then take my normal shower lol

Was I the only one yelling “use a whisk!!!!!” The whole time 😂😂😂😂

Good morning 🌞☀️ I love these videos!!! I feel so bad that you have to do this every week with the laundry. You are some trooper!!!!! 🧡🧡

Hey Alicia I just wanted to let you know that Kirby's Dream Buffet was released as a digital-only release, meaning to get it you have to go to the Nintendo E SHOP on the Nintendo Switch. It wasn't released in stores because it's a smaller game, it has a couple racing courses but thats it and it costs less than the main kirby games. Most smaller nintendo games are only available on in the eshop.

Flour is not a dry rub. Dry rub is a mixture of.seasonings. coat in lots of seasoning and then place in a pan with hot oil, supposed to hear a sizzle when it hits the oil and if you crowd the pan they will not brown properly. They will steam and release the juices that browning is meant to seal in, leaving you with a drier tougher chop

I read where someone said that you should carry your laundry to a place where they wash & fold for you. You just pick it up. I think that’s a great idea that way you have so much time to get groceries & be with your children. Think about it great idea!

There was this egg shortage,I heard about. At one point there was this egg farm out somewhere like in La Cañada/Flintridge or those area where it's more agricultural, the place was packed with people.

Bree at horseback riding is priceless! 🧡

You use less soda if you put the ice cream in first.

Good Morning Alicia 🧡

when will you be able to do laundry at home again?

I think I’d have a new gray water well installed and purchase a couple washing machines.

The amount of laundry 🤣

Lots of work as usual 🥰love seeing bree at her lessons 🐎🐎💗💗

My family actually has the same blue, green, and grey bedspreads for my 2 little brothers. I enjoy sleeping with them sometimes myself. They're very soft and comfy.

I would have used a whisk to mix the broth and soup mixture and get all the lumps out

I have seen what Josh wears it definitely could just go in the wash

don’t you have a washing machine and dryer at home? I imagine with all of you it’s a nightmare having to lug everything to a laundrette x in the uk it’s very common for everyone especially families we all have washers and dryers at home we don’t really have that many laundrettes x

these videos bring so much comfort, thank you!! 🧡 🧡

I have an IEP and it helped me out so much I am glad I had an IEP

Yum!! Loved the meal plan for the day. Everything looked so tasty!

I put the flour in a big ziplock bag, add the seasoning and throw in the chips and shake. No mess

💐aww, Harley is so animated, cute & precious. 💜💚💙So glad you got so much time with your baby angel 💐 I'm going to pray 🙏🏼 you get a miracle regarding the septic system. You work so hard, wish I could help. 🥰💐

Hot water for whites, towels and bedding, why would you wash darks in hot water?

Get a cup of hot water To put your ice cream scoop in So it can make the ice cream easier to dip Up Every time You get ready to get a scoop of ice cream And they will not take you a long time

Orange soda and vanilla ice cream 😋😋 taste like a orange creamçilee

Once you get connected to city water you can do laundry and have kids take turns too that way if you have them each do theirs you can have some relief

Do they get ssi or ssd for their special needs. Cause I was in a one of these. I gave a disability in learning. I have an iep diploma. I was just wondering about this

Yes pls get the septic solved . Too much wasted energy

Any why not pillow protector or at least an under pillow a case please

The kids were so cute taste testing the floats!!!

hey hey lovely lady i cannot get enough of your video's i am also new to youtube and have given us such inspiration and new ideas to try in our home i am a mama of 6 and our family of 8 living in a 2 bedroom apartment laundry is always a chore in a day of itself do you have any amazing tricks or tips we could try differently ?!?!? :D :D

James shouldn't have to be in a room with 8 year olds. He is a teenager and should be with the teens that's so not fair 😢😢

Happy Friday everyone!!

I understand why a laundromat makes sense with the volume of laundry you do each week but, do you have any machines at home? (For emergencies.)

You need to look at getting "Beddy's" for the kids. Especially for the bunk beds.

Happy Friday!!!

I’m sure I missed it somewhere but why don’t they have a washer and dryer? Thanks in advance.

Nice video Alicia! Harlee is an angel! Have a very good and blessed weekend!

Do you have a washer and dryer at your house?

Btw, the brown on the bottom of the pan is called "fond" and if you just wait a bit you wouldn't need to scrape the pan, it will release when its done, that goes for anything you are browning in a frying pan also(pork chops). Hope that helps next time. ALSO, I learned a long time ago from a chef friend, if you overcrowd a pan, you will end up steaming rather than browning. Maybe try less pork chops in the pan next time? Try it and just see if my tips help at all, please? Lol (I am such a weirdo😜😜🏵) I thought that the floats would end up possibly tasting like the british, Cadbury brand chocolate oranges. Have you ever tried one? Once upon a time, they were sold at Walmart & Walgreens. If you find them, they come in a small Cadbury purple box, and the chocolate "orange" is wrapped in orange colored foil. They are pretty interesting, oh and it is just all chocolate with orange flavoring in the chocolate. Yes, I know I over explain. Yes, you all can thank my ADHD, and if ANYONE read all of this & didn't want to comment something mean....you are a patient & kind person. Thank you! Sending, love, patience and kindness your way, so CATCH IT!!😊🦋🌻🌼🏵🌼🌻🦋

Good morning to you guys and have a great day

Can I suggest Ikea shopping bags for Laundry! Piles nice in the car! And you can fit soooooo much inside!

Are you guys getting some of this storm today? City of Rochester woke up to a winter wonderland. 😂

Yes Cynthia B. I agree w/ you. Time now to give them life skills for later. Thank you.

I add cream of celery a lot. It is so good and flavorful.

That child needs to be in daycare so she can learn to hang around with children her own age and not constantly be demanding attention.

Hola ! Si alguien sabe español me podría explicar porque no tiene lavarropas en su casa, porque seguramente lo ha dicho en algún momento y yo no lo comprendi, muchas gracias!

I like to recycle the bread bags to dredge chicken or meats. Throw away all the mess and no cost like the zipper bags

Lol they are not pork chops they are joints here in the UK we would get 2 chops out of 1 of yours x

I would be yelling louder at whoever dealing with septic.Or moving.

Bree you did an amazing job with your horse. I love your new jacket on you, looks so pretty.

Hopefully you can get your own washing machine soon and teach your big kids to do their own washing that is what I'm starting to do with my teenagers I know I only have two but hey they will need this skill when they leave home and go flatting or boarding

You just did 60 loads the other day how can you have so much just days later

Honey what you have to do is to placed them in front of washer so someone else doesn’t get the washer. That’s how we do n Alabama

Hello from Nottingham U.K. have a beautiful day. 😊

When is James bday video only one I've not seen ???? Why is he left out again???? Unless there is one but I can't find it!!!!!! 😕

Those pork Chops are huge. Do the people who work at the laundromat know of your channel?

pork chops look great but the orange chocolate drinks ... ummm no. lol!!

Love your videos ❤ Will there be a birthday vlog from dash and Josh’s birthday ?

How was the food? It didn’t look very appetizing

Good morning blessed day 💜💜

When your ice cream is froze it helps to have a cup or bowl of warm water to dip your scoop in after each scoop of ice cream. It warms up the scoop and makes it a lot easier

Pans overcrowded sucks up the oil yuck more like boiled

Reminds me that I gotta get gas before going to work, literally got less than quarter of a tank lol. First time in years I've had it like that; thanks for reminding me 😂😂 Love you guys so much 💜💜🙏🏽🙏🏽

If they are sooo sensitive to sugar why is that all she feeds them???

I took my babe to horseback last night too. It’s a really great experience for kids. I copy all of your good ideas. LOL😅

Has anyone else noticed that all this year hardly ever or never wears brand-name clothing? She buys Nike/under armor/Adidas, etc. for everybody else, but she doesn’t wear it.

Good day to you all From Perth Australia ❤

When you could do wash at home how much did you do a day????

My daughter has an Iep and we have maybe 2 meetings a year.
