I’m so glad your kids don’t have to struggle with wondering where there next meal will be or snacks or drinks. I remember growing up never knowing if we would have food

It wasn’t until I grew up did I realize this was my childhood too. But my mom did such a good job making do with what we’ve got, including sacrifice her meals and other things so I could have what I need. I never even realized we were poor until I grew up and swapped stories with my husband. Now I know why my mom hates vermicelli since it was the cheapest and most filling thing there is (back in Asia) and she ate nothing but that for years… moms really are amazing 😔😔

I believe she has said that’s exactly why she does this and packs them big lunches too. If I’m remembering correctly, she has said that some of the kids have struggled with food insecurity and still have issues with it so she wants them to know there will always be food💜

I do the same with books. My kids, my nieces and nephews and my grandkids I always bought them books and they are all readers now. One of my grandsons is autistic and when he was in grade school he had a hard time reading so I took him to bookstore and we picked out a series he liked and he raised his reading level by 2 grades. It was Percy Jackson.

I love the transparency in your vlogs. It’s so refreshing to hear some one say not to judge someone on what kind of food they are buying but also love how you show the receipt after each haul. I love watching your food hauls because of this reason. I see snacks my mother would buy for me when I was a kid that I have not had in a long time but it just very nostalgic. You are a fantastic mom and the love you show your family - all the hard work you put in to keep the house running is just astounding and amazing. Kudos to you, say hi to everyone for me :)

Catch me smiling ear to ear when I see you’ve posted a grocery/food haul! They’re my fav. Something so relaxing about all the food you buy and how food positive you are 😊

I love so much watching your videos. I came from a disfuntional family with a mother that never showed affection or validated my tastes, wishes or needs. It's so healing to watch you be the mother we all deserve not just for one, but for 12 kids. I hope I will be a mother like you!

Dash was so adorable sitting there reading, what a treasure he is xx Your kids are so lucky to have you spend so much time and energy making sure they are nourished during their holiday break. I find myself taking the kids out to eat, and I only have 2!!

I can’t stop watching you bc you seems to nice, fun and real. And KIND.

Harlee bringing in what SHE wants to eat is so me 🤣🙂🤣🤣💕😍

just something about regular home shopping that soothes and relaxes me. i havent been to a grocery store in a minute

Harlee is just too precious!! She is growing so fast! And it was so nice to see Dash interacting like that, I don’t remember him being in a video of this style (other than the shorts, partys and unboxing videos), just Alex, James, Naveah, Dayshawn and Harlee. I love this family!

I do the same thing right before school starts. I also meal prep a bunch of meats with marinade (for the grill) and dump and go crock pot meals because grandparents have a huge pool and we spend most our afternoons there and into the evening so i like to toss something in the crock pot and have it be ready or just be able to thaw some meat and toss it on the grill with some vegetables and a salad for those pool days. It makes my life so much easier and i only have 3 kids but i spend about the same amount you do stocking up for the entire summer. I usually start meal prepping a month before school starts and i just make double of whatever i am cooking for the night. Then i spend a few hours just going to the store getting a bunch of different meats and make marinades with that. I also bulk cook taco meat and sloppy joes and bbq chicken and chicken tacos (taco seasoning & ranch seasoning). I buy weekly produce milk and bread. Its so nice bc you don't have to do "real" grocery shopping and i utilize pickup to grab the few things i need for every week and we're good to go. 😁

Such a awesome loving Mommy I lost my mom in 2021 watching your family is so awesome love your videos

Hi Alicia! I use to have my reservations about adoptive parents because I have heard and seen so many horror stories about how horrible those children were treated. I watch your videos and feel like there is a chance for those kids who don't have anyone, to be loved! I appreciate how much love you send to each child and treat them like you birth them all! I love your videos and thank you for letting the world know that you can love kids no matter if they are yours or not and that they can be loved and appreciated.

Hi Alicia, I love watching your shopping haul. It's so peaceful and enjoyable to watch. I love how you buy products and how organise your are with your shopping and meal plans. Very inspiring and thank you for sharing.

Yes! Looking forward to the "organizing" video :-D. Enjoyed shopping with you.

So nice to come along on your summer haul! Love watching those things. Hope you get it all put away on the new shelves.

I used to be a residence director for summer camps that provided snacks and breakfasts and the online shop with curbside pick up was a lifesaver! I did 2 purchases - one of all the heavy bulky predictable stuff that they loaded for me. And then a quick smaller run inside for any things I wanted to choose myself. It was so much better than my previous system of multiple flats. Hang in there - this is a huge job!

New subscriber!! I always wanted a big family like this but God still blessed me with 2 children that I absolutely adore! I love this video from beginning to end.

i am a new sub and have watched a lot of you vids. thank you for sharing your daily routine to us for all the efforts you exert in these videos, you are a super mom and u r an inspiration to me and for sure to a lot of women here in your channel. God bless you and your family. and oh btw, i love the lighter mascara u put in your eyes

Your grocery bill is enormous . I love how you make sure you get food your kids love . You both are such great parents . Love how everyone helps out . I hate unloading and putting groceries away.

That was fun watching you and Dash shop for summer items. Dash is so cute. Thank you Alicia.

Been looking forward to this video!

The "healthiest" thing I saw on your snack cart was the Zero added sugar PB and Kodiac Protein Mix . Constant processed foods Sheesh 😬

I’m watching your video and adding things to my grocery pick up order 😋 thanks for the inspo

I really like and appreciate your shopping vlogs ! Most KZreadrs just give you a tour of the store and just show what the stores are currently selling -- That's not a shopping vlog, in my opinion. You do it right. You ACTUALLY take us, realistically, shopping with you !! 🛒 🛍️

Yes! Can't wait for Alicia's latest 🔥🥰 Love you guys 💜

Yay the video I’ve been waiting for feels like it was forever taking long lol Ilove your family! Have a good summer

omg this literally all looks like a dream, i wish i could go in the cupboard and never worry about being out of my favorite snack and spend all day lounging around reading books! even though i dont want to have a family you're a great inspiration for a foundation of a happy and enjoyable life

I’m just so in love with your grocery shopping video... just so therapeutic & getting longer I’m excited haha ...

Yay.i was really looking forward to this haul and you didn't disappoint Alicia. Those children are blessed with having you as their Mum xx May god keep you and your family in the best of health and may you continue to exude positivity and joy to everyone. Ameen🤲💕💕💕
