This daddy rocks! A loving father, husband and not afraid to help and get involved! More men should be like him! Would love to live in New York. What a great environment for your children. Beautiful family. Hugs from Houston, Texas

@rebeccaoliver7977 Год назад

Amber, my understanding is that when bread is kept in the fridge, it actually dries out faster than if left out on the counter. The moisture in the bread is lost. If you can find room in the freezer for what you will eat the second half of the week, you'll be golden. I could never do what you and Marc do. Keep up the good work!

@TheHappyCaravan Год назад

Thanks for the advice! Yes, it does get a bit dry. We do usually freeze the baguettes. I learned that from Marc’s grandmother in France.

Your grocery shopping is so interesting. I have visited NYC twice, and I found their food so much fresher and such a variety. The water is also very good to drink (at least that is what I was told). We live in Texas and cannot drink our water; and sometimes we get notices to boil it and add bleach to clean dishes, etc. Who would have thought that NYC is healthier in a lot of ways other cities are not. God bless your entire family!

@TheHappyCaravan Год назад

Thank you!❤️🙏 Yes! I was also amazed by the water when we here! Back in San Francisco we couldn’t drink the water either. I think even though NYC is a very urban situation, it is surrounded by a lot of wilderness where the water is nice.

@Maggies87 Год назад

@@TheHappyCaravan NYC has excellent water quality. Your kids might be interested in researching the historical and modern NYC water system. You could likely arrange a homeschool group tour of part of the system for a group of older kids. Municipal water and wastewater treatment are good fields of employment and there are many varied jobs one can do.

@TheHappyCaravan Год назад

Yes! Marc is looking into what is available here. His work history is in sign fabrication so he might try that first.

@MesquiteHillHomestead Год назад

Love your grocery hauls. I noticed you go to the store with meals already in mind. I’d love to see how you meal plan!

@TheHappyCaravan Год назад

I have sort of a rough monthly goal for the meal planning but I should make a video about it. It also of depends on what is happening that week. Sometimes I resort to hotdogs if it’s a busy day!😅❤️

@ellyne3863 Год назад

❤️🙏Yes! That’s a good idea.❤️

@themr.weeniechannel3548 Год назад

This is super inspiring and so cool! I spend way to much on groceries everyone month because I don’t meal plan and buy random things 🤦‍♀️

@TheHappyCaravan Год назад

Yes! I used to just kind of wing it in the grocery store but I always ended up throwing food away. We are at a point where we need every dollar to count so I have to plan. It is a pain to plan it out, but when the day comes and I know what we’re making it helps us not stress out so much.

@TheHappyCaravan Год назад

Thank you for your prayers! Yes I like watching other people’s grocery hauls too! I get lots of ideas of what to make for meals that way!❤️

@Maggies87 Год назад

Hi! When you space, freeze bread then thaw on counter the night before it’s needed. Fridge prevents mold but also stales bread. Big family, do what ya gotta do, right?!!! 😊

@TheHappyCaravan Год назад

Yes! We do that with baguettes sometimes. I learned that from Marc’s grandmother in France. In France they have bread that goes stale very quickly.❤️

I love watching your grocery halls. However I would love to see some videos of you home schooling the children. I'm a retired public school teacher as well as retired home school Teacher home schooling my daughter along with my sister's grandchildren. I did That's with a variety of children 4 The total of seven years. Now I end up tutoring my sister's great grandchildren. Please show some videos of how you home school.😂

@TheHappyCaravan Год назад

Wow that’s so cool you are using your teaching skills with your own family! Their math program is online (it’s called “Aleks”) But for other subjects the older ones use used textbooks we found online at Amazon or Rainbow Resource Center. I love Spectrum workbooks for the younger ones because they seem to cover all of the bases. I use explode the code currently for teaching early literacy. We also have a ton of books around because I want the kids to have choices in reading so they aren’t so tempted to turn on a screen. I can do a video about it too!❤️

@suzannesahl1699 Год назад

I'm looking forward to a video. Are they still in school question? Mark here in arizona school has ended for this academic school year.

@jeaniegallo4693 Год назад

Do you ever go to the Aldi there next to Target? They are the sister store of Trader Joes. I think 2 brothers split the 2 store chains. I can't remember the details. But Aldi is based out of Germany. It has some great German foods , especially at Christmas. And they follow the European standards of not having all the chemicals that aren't allowed there (in their store brand things). Many of their items are the same as Trader Joes but repackaged. And Aldi is significantly cheaper. They have a fantastic gourmet cheese section, lots of organics too.

@TheHappyCaravan Год назад

The Aldi next to the Target is really small unfortunately, sort of like a 7-11. I would love it if we got a normal sized one! I see a lot of people get great deals there!

I loveee goat cheese and the Costco price you can't beat...among other things I make a "dip" cheesespread type thing with goat cheese, add honey, toasted almond slices and dried cherries and serve with crackers of choice (I personally go for the trader Joe's fig and olive or crunchmaster ones) soooo good, the honey takes away from the tartness of the goat cheese

@TheHappyCaravan Год назад

@suziebuckingham9053 Год назад

I see so much you purchase at Trader Joe’s that is so much cheaper at Costco. They have so much organic too. I love TJ, but for the things I can’t get elsewhere, but Costco beats everybody on basics. The mushrooms, mozzarella, seaweed, almost all produce, brown sugar, flour, all available there.

@TheHappyCaravan Год назад

Yes, I’ll have to look for that. Our Costco is on the small side. I see other people’s Costco hauls and they get lots of things I haven’t seen. I definitely find a lot of the produce to be a better deal. Some of the reason I buy stuff at TJs is because we just have one fridge, but if it can sit in the drawer we have plenty of space for those things.❤️

HI ALL!! Amber I love when you guys go on your weekly grocery hauls. And SWEET Chloe and Anna looking for all the free food samples.

It’s for the stuffed pepper casserole from the Temecula mom blog. It’s a great casserole because our whole family is full after it! It also has tomato sauce so it stretches a bit.

@emilys384 Год назад

Curious how you keep all the kids from picking up extra items not on the grocery list? What does those major ground rules look like for a family of 10 kids in a store all at the same time? Even as an adult I sometimes find it hard, wanting to toss an unnecessary item or two in.

@TheHappyCaravan Год назад

I have a really careful list for all the meals planned out (it takes hours lol) so that’s easy for me to stick to, but I do tell the kids that they can pick a few snacks so the shopping trip still seems fun.
