FAMILY OF 14 NYC PREP AND GROCERY SHOPPING 

The mental load you carry as a mother - remembering each child and their preferences and needs - it’s truly amazing. I only have 1 and already feel like my brain is everywhere. I can’t imagine 12! You’re amazing, Mama!

47:50 aw, so sweet that Bodhi looks up to his big bro Patrick. They get along really well.

Wow! Your calm and cheerful attitude throughout this difficult task of filming, talking, deciding what to buy and navigating the store with an overflowing cart is really inspiring! 😃

I find myself going to your videos for comfort when I have anxiety, which has been nearly every morning and evening, so when you post it genuinely helps so much

I love how you don’t make a huge deal of anyones issue with incontinence. It is much more prevalent than what people think. Millions of people at all different stages of life suffer with it. I think you are such an amazing mum :)

This is the highlight to my day

We're a family of 3 and your videos help me so much with organizing and cooking our meals! Mamas of large families inspire me so much.

I love how she says,”but first coffee!” Then she only takes one sip!

Hey! First coffee! I am a mom of 2 under 2 and most of the days i feel overwhelmed with the challenge. I watch you when my girls are sleeping and you make me feel better! Thank you God bless your family

Hi, I'm from Homewood, Illinois. I am so proud of all that you are doing for your Family. My Great Aunt Evelyn-Corky was a Foster Mom as was my Uncle Royal Dean. They had nothing but Love in their Hearts for all they took care of. They even Adopted my Wonderful Twin Cousins Heather & Andrew. My Heart was so full of joy when that happened. They are such Christians as all of our Family is. And now my Two Married Cousins, Thier Grandkids are doing the same thing. Bless Them All for doing this as well. All Children Are A True Gift From God and Miracles from Up Above. I want to wish You And Your Beautiful Family Safe Traveling Mercies to and from. Happy Anniversary To You and Josh as Well. Bless Your Hearts Always.

Thank you for your 🛒🛒🛒🛒 shopping haul. And explaining everything. You're amazing with everything that you do, for your children and Josh. You honestly thing of everything when you travel and packing and everything. Your # 1 in my book. Happy, Happy 19th Anniversary Alicia and Josh!!!! And many many more.

I look forward to sundays or mondays every week cause i know i get to watch your grocery hauls! I actually have got some of my friends addicted to watching them. Its relaxes me in a way ill never understand! cannot wait for NYC vlogs

Couple of money-saving (strees-saving) tips you may not have thought of: Instant oatmeal can be made in disposable cups with hot water from the coffee maker (cheap breakfast). You might want to pack instant noodles and single-serve Chef Boyardee for late night munchies. Microwave popcorn takes up next to no space and is good for upset tummies. Stick packs of Kool-Aid in case the tap water tastes “funny” for the kids. Bottled water will be an expensive hassle. Go to Dollar Tree for sports bottles and other travel necessities. The kids can lose them without a budget hit. They have nice snack boxes. Four packs of travel tissues per kid. Bandages with antibiotic in the pad so you don’t have to mess with a tube. Travel pack of baby wipes for each kid. Bandana for each kid. Good for headbands, hair ties, sweat rags, and improvised masks. Take a couple pair of disposable gloves for BIG messes. Disposable scented diaper bags for stinky messes. Carry a few pairs of clean underwear so that a bad hot dog doesn’t ruin your day. Cough drops. Do not forget cough drops. Smog + allergies = 🤧

Yes I love grocery hauls! Also I know tomorrow is you and Josh’s anniversary, so Happy early Anniversary! You guys are a cute couple!

I love how you say,you are strong, you are beautiful,you are loved,you belong and you are so proud. It gets me through alot

Been refreshing my screen since you posted your #short. Your grocery haul is my “Zen”. I love your family. Saying “hi” from Philippines 🇵🇭!

Hi Alicia! Great shopping haul!! Prices are up everywhere these days. Just an FYI. You can call your bank before your vacation and let them know you'll be using your credit card out of town and they'll make note of it and not freeze your account if they see any unusual out of town purchases. Happy fourth!!

Fav time of day, out of all the videos/ family channels this Is one of my favourites, resonantly my anxiety and depression have been bad to the point I don’t want to get out of bed but since watching your channel I feel good again for a little bit thank you from the bottom of my heart 💖

I love that you're so honest about your weekly grocery cost. 💙

I love watching these videos and as someone who works in a grocery store I’m intrigued on what the check out process is like! I honestly kinda love big orders it’s very satisfying to scan/bag them 😂 might be just me but I’d love seeing them check you out 😂

When I saw the short, I knew that this wasn't far behind!! This week will be busy for me and my family as well because we are also planning a trip to help my grandmother move so lots of packing and making sure my cat will be all set for when my neighbors come to check on her. Hoping you guys have a safe and fun trip, I love NYC so much and I would love to go back there someday❤️

Your kids are going to have some amazing memories of their childhood. I hear a lot of "Remember when Mom...)

Happy Anniversary to you and Josh, to many more to come!! You guys are such an inspiration and such a loving example for your children, it makes my heart happy. And yes!!! I thought that I was the only one who thought that toiletries were more expensive than usual and by reading some of the comments we're not the only ones who think so 😊😊! Oh, my bank let's me place a travel alert for my do debit card when I travel, the last time I traveled I ended up calling them to tell them the dates and where I would be. No one wants to receive a fraud alert while on vacation. I don't know if that's something that your bank does or not, just thought that I'd mention it. 😊😊😊 I absolutely love your food hauls they really make my day, and I especially love your quote of being kind, being loved, being strong, and that we're loved, so please don't ever stop, it may be the only time that some of us hear it, so thank you. 😊😊😊❤️❤️❤️ And the kids are going to have an absolute blast, blessings on a safe and fun trip.

I love watching your grocery haul videos, its like a wish fulfillment thing imagining going to the store and buying just whatever I want. Haha not choosing between staples for making meals and treats. Your kids are going to have such fond memories of their childhoods with you when they're older!

I love tagging along with you on your grocery shopping trips. Have fun on your trip.

One of your new subscribers here in your channel. I can say, your vlogs are therapeutic/ addicting

Does it make me sad or pure that I literally squeal with excitement when I get the notification of her weekly shopping hauls?!? 🤣☺️🥰

Happy 4th July USA 🇺🇸 Alicia, Josh and family. You are all a joy to watch. Also Happy Wedding Anniversary ❤️ hope you have a wonderful day!!

Your grocery videos are therapeutic! Godbless you and your fam 💕 Watching from Philippines 🇵🇭

Hey girl, you sure are amazing. Your grocery haul was overwhelming to me. Hats off to you for being organized. That's super. Remembering each child needs was super thoughtful. Your children are blessed. Super mom. Love watching your videos. God bless you and your family

I wasn't expecting the words of affirmation at the end of the video. Made my day! And almost made me cry. Thank you so much i really needed it. ❤

CONGRATULATIONS ON YOUR 19th WEDDING ANNIVERSARY! EVERY TIME I HANG OUT WITH YOU I FIND MORE TO ADMIRE ABOUT YOU.

i love your videos. my parents aren’t the best people so your channel always feels like home. thank you :]

We are a military family and live in Hawaii, but something i never realized before before now is that you can travel with one of those 40 gallon bins with wheels and it still counts as a regular baggage as long as it doesnt go over weight limit and linear measurment. Was great to know for when we were being stationed here and had to plan to stay in a hotel for 3 months before we got our housing. Would make carrying all the snacks a lot easier! And you could pack drinks in there also!

Oh I really enjoyed this one - organising not only your food for one week, but also the return week AND your trip! You're a wonder woman!

I was so worried about your ice melting when you went for cart 4 😂 mama Dougherty is a professional grocery shopper. Seriously though there should be an Olympic event for this. You'd be bringing home gold EVERY👏TIME👏

Whenever I travel and take toiletries I always put them in ziplock bags so hopefully if they leak it’s not on everything else! I hope you all have a fantastic time 🥰

I look forward to Sundays to watch your vlogs! I get super excited. God bless you and your beautiful family!!

That’s exactly what my daughter and I do with the seat heater. Driving down the road with seats on air conditioning full blast 💥

You are so good at planning I seriously need to take tips from you.

You’re videos never fail to make me smile thank you you guys are the best!

Wow...You are amazing...I'm in awe...I'm at a loss for words...love your hauls and your channel...stay safe and blessed.

The flowers are beautiful. Have a great 4th of July!!!! ❤

Thanks to you, I use tiny paper cups for kids vitamins! It's soooo much easier! Also, I am the one that has to take a decent amount of meds/vitamins in my family and your weekly/monthly sorting video inspired me to get on that organizing so I can take my meds regularly and not just "when I remember to fill my organizer". Thank you!

Awesome NYC trip plans! The kids will love it! You are giving them great experiences !

Happy 19th Anniversary Josh & Alicia! May You Enjoy Many, Many, Many More Happy Years Together And Continue To Grow More In Love And Stay Blessed. ♥️♥️

YOU are AMAZING and your system on the daily is wired tight😀👌💪👍 I am even more impressed adding a travel list, and even planning for when you get home! Girl, you are a real life super hero😃❤️! It's hard enough traveling with just me, I admire you oh so much, my goodness, you even thought of every med to have on hand (wows!:)! Yet, here you are, meh, adding parents,, what, 16 people are covered? I am so exited for your trip and can't wait to see the fun you have, all the huge smiles as your awesome family makes unforgettable memories! A memory is literally, one, ONE, millisecond away, enjoy each memory as it unfolds! BIG love from MI😀❤️🙌✌️🤗💕💞😃

after stressful days these are so calming to watch :) and for alex’s ankle, at school we tape our boys with prewrap under the tape, usually helps with pain and tightnes :)

I got my husband hooked on your grocery hauls...lol. I caught him watching it without me :)

Happy Belated Anniversary Dougherty couple! God bless y’all real good!!!!

I love the way you take care of the children and you are very organized

Can’t imagine having that many kids to take care of but having money to just be able to get whatever without worrying about cost has to add a big weight off of you. I am happy that your blessed and that you have giving so many kids a family. They are so lucky to have each other and to have such a great mom and dad.

It's so satisfying watching you shop! 😃 I live in NY close to the city. Enjoy your trip 💕

Thank you for showing us some sceneries from where you're living.I love that!!!

I love how your always happy and not stressed while doing this. I always tell myself what you say the strong beautiful saying in the mirror I have made that part of my routine in the morning and now my 11 year old says the same thing❤💙❤💙

For your coffee bring along a travel coffee cup, an electric kettle, a plastic funnel and buy the number 2 coffee filters, Bring your favorite coffee and make your own. You can buy the milk in NYC.

Usually if you call your bank and let them know you are traveling on vacation then they will not freeze your card. My husband and I learned that the hard way when we traveled to Texas on vacation and went to get gas and our cards were frozen. Thank goodness we had some cash on us.

I really hope to see the trip packing video! Love that kinda stuff. Hope you'll have a amazing weekend! Also adore these long shopping videos! 💕

My relaxing therapy 😌 😀 watching 👀 you shop makes me want to go shopping

I enjoyed this shopping trip! Cannot blame you on stocking up snacks for the trip!

Love what u do hope y'all have a good trip

i find your grocery hauls relaxing and satisfying. it also motivates me to work harder so i can buy comfortably in the future 🤍

When I go to the store I can think of that day and the next day and that's it. You thought of the week, the flight there and back, the meal when you return and the breakfast for the morning after you return plus a huge holiday! Without a list! Oh and a movie night......Amazing! Def one to rewatch for motivation.

All of you enjoy your trip .Have a great time.

Mine and my husband’s 5 year anniversary is the 4 of July also! Happy Anniversary to y’all! Love what you do!

I know it’s extremely late but you could order blue white & red m&m’s in bulk (separate colours) and make the mix yourself, that way you’ll have loads of m&m’s left for any other events :)

I’m so happy that i found you🥰. I’’m a single mom of 2, you became my inspiration 😊 thank you so much.

I find myself looking forward to your videos. you so enjoy your tasks and your demeanor is calming ❤it’s like being on a face tome call with your bestie😊

Would love to see when you pack the snacks for the trip 🙂

Happy early Anniversary to you and Josh

I wore pull-ups until I was 11 🤷‍♀️ I don’t know if they still have it, but when I was that age, there were pull ups for those sizes. Thank you for not making a big deal out of it for your kids (especially because it’s not something they can control)

This is therapeutic tysm I really really appreciate it 🤍

I love getting the notification for your videos ❤

I love this family I so look forward to the videos xx

Like your other comments, I WISH I could shop like you do. Just pick up whatever you want. I am very glad that you are able to do that, especially with food prices so very high. Have a wonderful trip in NY!

Happy Anniversary and wishes for many more! You have a beautiful family.

What about more healthy snacks

Glad to know I’m not the only one who gets the noisy shopping cart. It’s like there is a constant speed bump on at least one of the wheels. 🤣🤣

These videos being me peace to my day

Love watching your trip preparation

these grocery videos r my favorite cus i love grocery shopping

I love all your videos with your family you, your husband the kids and grandparents are amazing. Have a good holiday when it arrives Happy 4th of July to you all Love from Scotland 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿💙💜🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

I just wanted to say I watched your videos and I was going through some stuff and at the end where you say you are strong .loved and you was proud of us it made me smile again thank you so much

I hope you all a amazing and safe trip and bless you all❤️

Thank you for this wonderful video. I peeled my 10 pounds of pototoes for salad. Cleaned my kitchen and put my cheese cake away. You are amazing. Everything you have to do for a 4 day vacation. Clothes, snacks, toiletries for everyone and meds. Oh I bring first aid kit when I travel with my family. You are awesome. Your family should be thanking God for you. May God continue to Bless all of you. Please don't listen to negative comments. God is not happy with them poeple. It's sad that people have to put others down so they can feel good.

We have a drink dispenser like that and a lot of time we just put ice in the bottom to help keep it cooler for longer without watering the drink down any further

You all have a great trip. I still can't wrap my head around a trip with that many kids. I have two and a weekend away is a lot for me! You got this parenting thing down mama!!!

My husband I just visited upstate NY and PA. I went to my first Wegmans! I was talking to a lady and she said that it was one of the smaller Wegmans and it was HUGE!! I loved it!!

A MUST DO BEFORE ANY TRIP. cc OR debit card call them. Set a travel plan. Day start to day return. I do this every time I travel. If inside my home state is no problem. But if outside Az, i always call. Friendly suggestion. Don't forget a EMPTY water bottle for every one. Can bring in their carry on bags. But tsa won't allow if have liquid in them. When I flew back in May hand sanitizer was allowed, the tiny bottles like you hang on your purse size. Also may want (esp younger kiddos) to pack a extra outfit in their carry on bags. i always do for planes (im 50 yrs old) & my adult son (29 years old). Is a just in case cause you never know.

Always look forward to you posting new videos Love them all 🥰🥰

I’m a foster momma, or should say was. Single mom with 2 kids is all I can financially handle or I would have a house full. My daughter has sensory processing disorder and we are there too with incontinence at night….. thank you for being such a positive person and I impatiently wait for your videos!

These grocery shopping videos are my obsession! Thanks for doing it. I’m with you though. I can barely afford to feed and all the other stuff we need for a family of 3.

I would love to see you do a back-to-school haul. I'm an education student and would love to see what parents do.

Is there anyone else more relatable on the internet nowadays?!? 🧡

I would love you to do a budget video. I'm in awe of how you can afford all of this. Much respect and love for you and your fam❤️❤️❤️❤️

For your watermelon hack, yellow spot means nice and ripe and firm, but to know if it's also sweet, look for the brown patches or lines of bee stings! The bee's go for the sweet ones! Combine these two hacks and you will have the best of the best!

Oh my Lord... lol I went last summer to Florida from Texas . I was going crazy to pack for my son and myself . You are Wonder Woman Alicia....lol 😆 You amaze me . God bless you and your adorable family.

The flight is about an hour, will your kids eat that many snacks and not get ill? Of course anything left is great for when you return!😊

Gurlll Alicia, you are so strong physically and mentally. Like you managed to carry 2 burger bun packs and 2 hotdog bun packs. That right there is strength 😂. Well done with hw you have raised all of the kids because they are all so kind and you care for them so well. Well done!

Loud grocery carts gotta love'em lol Thank you for the video!
