Gorgeous congrats 🎉❤❤
I would call them brown onions although I don’t like to eat them 😂 , will check out that Cajun pasta x
@@gillianhope7742 I always say white but then think are they actually known as white or brown. The pasta is so yummy and I’m not usually a fan of chicken and I’d never tried chorizo before because I don’t like pepperoni and thought it would be similar but it’s actually delicious. I’m doing evening meals of the week this week and I’m going to show the ingredients and how to make xx
Aww this was beautiful ❤ Happy Anniversary Leanne and David xx
@@BeingPennyB thank you so much xx
That was so lovely. What a beautiful couple you make xx
@@lucylou9030 thank you, this is just a quick highlights video our videographer put together for us, we have the whole day from us both getting ready etc right through to the end of the night on dvd. Its a hard one to watch as since the day we’ve lost 5 family members between us and they can all be seen so I can’t even get through this one without 🥹 never mind the whole video xx
Happy anniversy looked a lovley day ❤❤❤❤ from emma from nottingham ❤❤❤
Aww thank you, 8 years ago now, times so gone quick xx
You really do some lovely meals and always give me some ideas great food haul you've done xx
Thanks, I love cooking and would rather cook everything from scratch but having a 2 month old baby and a 2 year old toddler means not enough hands or time to be cooking as I’d like so had to rethink meal ideas recently to more simpler and easier meals xx
You've got some lovely dinners. I'm going to get the hassleback potatoes they look so nice. X
Thank you, we had the hasslebacks last night with steak and I’m not sure if it’s the seasoning that you tip on the potatoes or a combination of them and peppercorn sauce but my mouth and cheeks were on fire 😂 and I usually do quite well with spices xx
Fab food shop. The peonys are lovely I'll have to look for those next time I pop in lidls. X
I love peony’s but find they don’t last as long if I cut my own from the garden and bring them inside so prefer to leave them be. There a good price at Lidl as I’ve seen them in Sainsbury’s and Marks & Spencer’s for a lot more xx
I've not long found your vlogs and I'm really enjoyìng them you seem like a good mum x
Thank you, we try our best xx
WHY ?
Good shopping haul
The healthiest cereal to me is unfrosted bitesized shredded wheats
You've got some lovely dinner ideas. 😋
Thanks, like to try something new each week otherwise it gets boring eating the same stuff xx
push push push
Hiya, aw I will have to try that shampoo and conditioner ... Baby is beautiful and fab haul 💗
It smells so nice and I love the rose one in it too. It can be quite expensive but it’s on offer a lot for £3 each, I have to take it back in to my room when I’ve used it otherwise it wouldn’t last two minutes with my girls lol xx
Congrats on your new baby girl Ariella is a gorgeous name x
Thank you xx
Aww congratulations 😊😊😊God bless.. new subbie here i also have a channel if you wanna pass by 😊
Thank you xx

Aww look ! Our BLACK sister delivering your child beautifully and gracefully baby, and your supporting calm husband.
Congratulations to you both. Shes beautiful ❤ so lovely that your mum was there too seeing Ariella come into the world. X
Thank you, yes she’s been there every time apart from my last baby in 2022 because of being still under Covid restrictions I was only allowed one person so it was nice to have her there again this time xx
Ahh shes gorgeous well done & many congratulations to you all 🥳💐 I was wondering how you were doing as you haven't been doing any vlogs for a while.. xx
Thank you, I know I’m terrible at being consistent but the last part of my pregnancy was a real struggle with pelvic girdle pain and then I got diagnosed with gestational diabetes and Polyhydramnios (too much amniotic fluid) so I wasn’t able to get out much or do much so I didn’t have anything to vlog xx
Aww well done love .. I did get emosh at the emergency buzzer bit..you did it!! Ariella is beautiful... Congratulations to you all ❤️
Thank you, yeah that does get you especially if you’ve had to have the emergency buzzer pulled before xx
Congratulations on baby Ariella primrose she’s beautiful.💞🩷🌟
Thank you xx
Our beautifully BLACK QUEEN delivering your baby safely. 🥰 well done black QUEEN
And your clam collective huaband amazing.
Aww just watching you now on my telly... ❤️ Love your bedroom and think we have same bed haha xx
I think we do, heard you mention yours in one of your vids recently and mines from dusk too xx
@@xtheclayfamilyx yes!! Haha it was a total bargain and I really love it just wish we could get bedroom decorated but we need to get one of boys rooms done first and need loads of things for baby... I'm just watching your haul now I love the tray you got from homesense... You've picked some lovely items... You know where I will be having a look this week.😂 Xx
@@grablifebythehauls3902 yeah it was when we ordered it, think we paid £317 for a king size, wasn’t going to get a new bed just yet but couldn’t refuse at that price. Ours is the ecru shade and now I’m wondering if it was a good idea when we share our bedroom with our 2yr old 😂 xx
@@xtheclayfamilyx haha I think mines slightly darker ... I can't remember shade and yes ours was similar price for king size.... Just watching your food haul now xx
Lovely pieces you bought really nice vases.❤❤
Hello Leanne,this is the first time I’ve watched your channel & absolutely loved your haul.I have subbed as i think you have impeccable taste ❤
Thank you xx
Can’t believe all these home bits you got and I love the blanket from homesense and the vase from M&S which I’ve wanted for while but the price put me off. Can’t wait for you to style everything up on KZread. I’ve not got instagram and twitter etc. fab hauls. My first time watching you and I’ve liked and subscribed straight away and can’t wait for the more home ware to come. Thank you 😊x
Thank you so much. The blanket is stunning, I don’t think I did it justice as watching it back you can’t really see properly how beautiful the detailing is. Yes I know what you mean about the price of the M&S vase, I saw it ages ago and thought it was expensive but then I kept thinking about it and I’ve never seen one like it before. So last week when I went in to look at cushions there was one on the shelf and I gave in and brought it home. Wouldn’t normally pay that much for a vase but it is beautiful. My partner usually tells me off for the amount of home decor I buy but I’ve got away with it this time as we’ve completely re done three rooms so he couldn’t moan 😂 xx
@xtheclayfamilyx it is a beautiful vase, and I do love it. When I went to the store to buy it, there wasn't one left but went in again and already spent a lot on clothing, new glasses from their opticians and other bits so I didn't buy it. Will do next time. They also do a tall slimmer vase in the same pattern, a lot more expensive again, think its £65 x
I love everything you got. I have the same style choice . Would love to see a house tour when youve given everything you bought a home xx
Thank you, there’s some beautiful home decor pieces in the shops right now, it’s so hard not to get too carried away buying. I’ve been filming our rooms before and we’re just starting our living room now which is the last room we’re doing for now so once that’s done I’ll film the after so you’ll get to see where I’ve put everything xx
Hi, i just came acoss your chanel. You hav picked some absolutely gorgeous items gor your home. I love them all. Wow you are amazing having 8 children and baby 9 on the way, and you look so chilled and organised 💪💪💪. Take care xxx
Thank you, there’s some really pretty decor pieces out in the shops at the minute. I am quite a chilled person but definitely not organised 😂 I just go with the flow and take each day as it comes. We have three children with adhd, autism, sensory processing difficulties and I just find it easier to live each day as they come and most days are different from one to the other xx
Just found u Leanne wow super mum 8 children ! And baby on the way ❤I have 4 , 2 boys & 2 girls an the girls were hard work raising xx
Absolutely love all ur home bits am loving neutrals an wicker at the moment.I have that tray from M&S , I have a bud vase with a few wooden swirls an wooden flowers an a candle on mine xx
Omg that picture frame is amazing Leanne ❤
Thanks, well I say I have 8 children but two are 19 and 17. I definitely agree girls are harder work, mine are so messy and the back chat is unreal. I love neutral decor, some may say it’s boring but I find it very timeless and warm and cosy. I do like a bit of colour but just subtle pops of it.
I love the M&S tray, it’s really good quality and a bargain I think for £18. I’m not sure wether to have it on our bedroom draws with some perfumes and skin care on or to use it styled with decor pieces xx
Oh wow, it's my first time on your channel and I'm surprised about the size of your family, how amazing! All the best with bubba no.9 🙏🏽 Right, I'll watch the rest of the video now. Take care 🧡
Thank you, yeah it does take some people by surprise and I don’t really look as old as I am or old enough to have this many children 😂 xx
@@xtheclayfamilyx You look amazing!!! 🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽
@@vanessapryce2698 Aww so kind of you, I definitely don’t feel like it at the moment, the last few weeks of pregnancy really take it out of you xx
Oh wow i love all your bits,just my style and taste.I have the matalan class jars with lids but i have used mine for candles and i picked up the cabbage bowl last week in homesense too.I am a new subscriber aswell,please could you do a house tour and show us how your styled your pieces thank you .And 8 children and one on the way,they certainly must keep you busy lol ❤x
Thanks, i love the jars as storage or as a candle holder and for £6.50 they were a real bargain considering how similar they are to the white company candle holders. I’ve filmed the rooms before we’ve re done them and were just starting our living room now before our new sofas arrive in 2 weeks so once that’s done I’m going to film an after as well so you will definitely get to see everything styled and even more pieces I haven’t shown yet xx
Love everything you've bought also got some of these things myself can't wait to see how you style it. Can we have a house tour ❤ x
Thank you, I can see why so many people have these pieces too as everything is so stunning and timeless. I have been filming the rooms that’s we’ve been re doing, the before and after. We’re just starting our living room which is the last room we’ll be doing before the baby arrives so once that’s done I’ll upload a video so everyone can see what we’ve been busy doing xx
@@xtheclayfamilyx good luck with baby having 9 children is amazing 🤩 congratulations x
I went there in 2022
I just watch your video on the shopping, And most people I watch on KZread that do shopping don't buy the branded name of laundry detergent, they always buy there own brand of the shop there are in, because it is cheaper, I use fairy pods as well and the fairy condioner, I have no kids but I just like fairy,
Fantastic haul! 🛒🍽 Loved seeing your Sainsbury's food haul for a large family of 10, especially with the meal plan included. Great inspiration for large family meals! Thanks for sharing 🥦👨👩👧👦 Stay connected fam
If your doing over night oats or Muesli I always use frozen forest fruits they are handy to have in anyway
Thanks, I do buy frozen berries for smoothies but I might try with the muesli
I found that using frozen fruit in overnight oats will make it sloppy by morning
Congratulations on ur pregnancy!🎉❤
Thank you
Wow congrats to you all bet you're so happy
Thank you. I’m not going to lie, it wasn’t planned so was a bit of a shock. I had a really traumatic birth last time which is sometimes having an effect on being able to enjoy this pregnancy as some days I feel really positive and looking forward to everything then other days I feel really anxious and on edge etc. Trying to think positive though ❤️
@@xtheclayfamilyx please don't get stressed and anxious lovely you'll be fine believe me. Huge hugs xxx
Thank you, I’m trying my best not too xx
Congrats ❤🎉
Thank you ❤️
Congratulations that’s amazing news. 🥰👶🏻🍼 xx
Thank you so much ❤️
@@xtheclayfamilyx you’re welcome ☺️ xx
That's a really good shop Leanne, and a great price considering you got cleaning and laundry products etc It does work out a lot cheaper when you meal plan and cook from scratch doesn't it. Looking forward to your meals of the week, I really like the sound of the pork dish 🤤
Thanks, I have had to go out yesterday for more fruit and milk and I probably need to go again tomorrow for more milk, yoghurts and fruit again 😂 but I supposed I can’t really moan because my kids prefer to eat that rather than sweet treats. It’s so hard remembering to film what you’ve made every night especially when your trying to get 10 meals served but I’m doing well so far and remembered every night. I prefer writing shopping lists and meal plans otherwise anything ends up in the trolley and you always spend way too much xx
@xtheclayfamilyx yeah that's it isn't it, I'm the same, everything goes in if I haven't planned. Yeah those little basics are always needed throughout the week. I take my hat off to you, there's only 4 in my house most of the time and I struggle to keep up with it, you do an amazing job xx
Congrats and good Luck ❤❤🎉🎉
Thank you xx
Good shopping haul...
Thank you 😊
🥳 congratulations guys!! 💗
Thank you ❤️
Congratulations ❤
Aww thanks Katie xx
That gingerbread loaf looks so good, better than what I could of made I can’t do cakes xx
Thanks, it tasted really nice and didn’t last long in this house. Making the cake part is easy for me, it’s icing that I’m terrible at xx
@@xtheclayfamilyx I think the icing looked good, my latest attempt was plonk it on with a spoon & give it a swirl with the bottom of the spoon, your icing looked great xx
Nice to see your confidence growing & what a beautiful tree you've all done love the colour scheme same as how I do mine but I add a bit of rose gold & bronze..
Thank you. I have some lovely brown and bronze baubles which I did consider adding but I just wanted a light, bright tree this year compared to what I normally do. I’m not able to do as much this year so kept it minimal and it looks ok just taking some getting used to as normally our tree decor is quite over the top xx
