My baby inhaled a lego yesterday, so we spent the entire day in the ER. I am so behind, exhausted, and lacking in motivation. My get up and go, got up and went! My goal is to get a few loads of laundry done, everyone fed, house picked up, and dishes done. But if I don't, my baby may have other plans for me, I know God's mercies are new everyday! Thank you for the motivation! Your videos have been such a blessing to me!
You are doing exactly what u need to be doing. Holding the baby! Oh my goodness on the lego. So scary. We have had crayons up nostrils and spent hours in the er as well. The house will get done. Eventually :). Love that baby first!
I KNOW this is 2 years old but it brought to mind something I use to make when my children were young when you talked about all the weenies you had, of course I know you don't have them now but when the kids were small money was very tight. I would mix up corn muffins and slice up the weenies and mix them in the batter. They would eat them for breakfast and for snacks. They also freeze really well. Sometimes at breakfast they would even put a little jelly on the corn muffin. We also had them sliced and stirred into bar-b-que sauce with some veggies on the side, cole slaw or rice usually. Just a thought to pass along. My oldest is now 50, youngest 40 so it's been awhile. I love watching your videos and following your family. Thank you so much.
You crack me up defrosting your old freezer -- I just did the same thing! Who has those artifacts anymore? WE do! I bought mine used 20 years ago and that thing is a workhorse, and far less trouble than my fancy modern one in my kitchen. Salute to the days when appliances were made to last!
I am going to have to try the icecream cone treat. My kids would love that. It feels so good when everything is checked off the list. But please make sure you take care of yourself!!
With all my puppies, I take them outside first thing in the morning, everytime they wake up, once every hour or so through the day, and last thing at night. Also after meals. Praise them when they go in the correct place, and just say 'no' when they don't, and quickly place them in the correct place and praise them. Pretty soon she will be at the door waiting to go out or going in the correct place :) They are babies and go frequently, and cant hold it in. Love your channel ! You are amazing! 🐨🌴
Not sure if this is a nationwide thing or just local, but our Goodwill stores always do 50% off the entire store on the first Saturday of each month. You can really get some good deals!
I’m hungry now! Lol! As always love all your plans! It’s so much food! And then I laugh bc I have 8 kids... so maybe when mine are teens I will be getting more food! Or if God blesses us with more babies! ❤️
Frankly I just do not know how you do it all ! Your tired because you work you bum bum off. I really am proud of you and your grace and hard work. Much Love...xoxo
You could tie the 2 dogs together the little one will learn from the older one where it should go to the toilet the older one will help train with you. My dad has always done that with his dogs the new dog soon learns what the rules are. You could get a dog crate for night times the dog will not pee in their beds and a lot of dogs like somewhere to go and rest and away from the hustle and bustle of family life.
Yes us Michigan people love Koegle hotdogs🤗there the best!enjoy faygo soda pop and vernors too😋love watching you!!like I said if I lived near you we would be friends!i love going to discount store!goodwill!!!!and I like cooking the library😀list goes on
Yes us Michigan people need to stick together. I love BBQ Koegle hot dogs and as I am a diabetic I absolutely live diet orange faygo and I have the s\f Vernor's with that. From Michigan.
Hot dogs are great summertime Foods as the kids could easily microwave a hotdog for themselves. We put hot dogs in our mac and cheese as well as you could do baked beans with hot dogs. We also do spaghetti with hot dogs in it because Sheldon from The Big Bang Theory likes that LOL
Amy, could you tell me how you do your meal planning? Where do you find your recipes? Do you figure out what you are going to need for each meal? I try and plan what I'm going to make, then I am either tired and hurting and do not make what I had planned and try and throw something together. I do not like to eat out, as I look at the bill and think "ok, I could of bought so many meals in the price of one restaurant bill" Thank you for helping me. I LOVE watching your videos. You mentioned something about a blog. Where would I find it?
That is where u will find a lot of my stuff www.plainandnotsoplain.com go check it out. I have every single thing I make ever over there :). Lots of how I plan etc.
Hi! I know what you mean about the dog escaping. I have a 14 year old Toy Fox Terrier. When she was about 2 or 3 years old, she jumped on the dinner table. My Mom had me be firm with her, that was hard for me to do. 🐶❤
Hi there, greetings from northern Ireland. Just wondering if you do any item by item grocery hauls.- you know, where you put everything on your huge table and tell us exactly what you got. I think they would be awesome. love this video also. xo
I would love to do that but I think it would be impossible :). We get so many groceries and by the time I get home, I need to get them in the freezer and refrigerator. Plus they would never fit on my table :). But maybe one day.
I already commented, (in between buffering on my end), but I can't wait for the high school curriculum, my daughter will be in the 9th grade next year.
I have NEVER thawed my freezer. I think I'll do that on my next meal planning month - I cook for a family of 7. SUCH a GREAT idea to do it then since you have to look through everything anyway. I didn't think to use the coolers to store while it thaws :-) THEN, I'll clean it out with my Norwex Envirocloth - THANKS for the idea :-)
Wow, you pack alot into a day, I dont know how you have time for yourself, or your husband...you need a day to grab some tea, a book and sit on your deck and a 'dont disturb' sign on your head..lol...
Lol. I don't think that is possible!!!! They would find me!!!!! Lol. I actually get a lot of time and my husband and I do more together now than we have ever done:)
The stuff in my freezers were veges and fruit and things that we make ourselves like beans, lentil burgers etc. We spend 1200 per month for all of our needs :)
I love this video, i spend 700 € in a month for 7 persons and sometimes it's not enough and i have no pet ! I think in France life is more expensive. I start teaching the bible to my young kids, can you help me to start correctly ? ( books, applis or videos ) Thank you very much for all your videos ❤
You know nothing of housetraining worries... I have 16 month old female shishon. (Shih tzu x Bichon frise) yeah. Apparently female shih tzu are renowned for being hard to toilet train. I did not know this BEFORE 🤣🤣
I'm binge-watching your Channel today LOL and I just noticed that you were saying that you have veggie burgers for yourself do you not like regular beef burgers? Just curious
Oh no I love me a good well cooked beef burger :). But I really like vegetables burgers and will choose that for a dinner meal instead of what we r having
Ohhhh my goodness soooo much food!!! 😁😁😁. Forgive me for being so nosy.... but, how much money all you bought today? Food here in Chile is so expensive, I would love to compare. Thank you❤️👏👍🌷
No nosy. I love to see what others spend so I can compare. I budget $1200 a month for food and supplies. Includes everything I need to run our home : dog food, cat food, toilet paper, etc. This past month I was actually way under and had extra for the extra clothing and supplies I needed for my son to be gone at camp. I hope that helps.
amy maryon . Wowww, the budget you have is fantastic for so many people, pets, ersonal supplies, etc. What you spend is very very reasonable, and you have been finding such good deals for your freezers, and you have all kinds of goodies for those beautiful, well taken care and extremely well fed children. Congratulations Amy, you are a super mom👏👏👏👏👏👍👍👍👍👍❤️❤️❤️❤️🌷🌷🌷🌷🌺💐🌻🌼🌸
I used to always pray to have been born into a strong christian family. But then i came out as gay so that would still be a risk of abandonment. I love your videos! They even give me food ideas.
I wasn't born into a strong christian family either and had to do a lot of learning on my own. I had to get to the point where I wanted more out of life. I am happy that you enjoy the videos and that it gives u some ideas to make !
do you recycle? Its sooo much plastic waste!! A lot of americans use soooo much plastic and almost all of it ends up not being recycled. Thank god i live in sweden were recycling is a big thing. I would love to se you try and minimize the waste you are creating. Dont mean any harm just would like to see you change some habits and cut down on your wasteHugs from sweden
We love Maxine and Ruby and all the cats. God bless y’all .

We crate train our pups....they sleep in the crate at night and when they are little we take them out constantly to their potty spot. It always works.
Yes that is what we are doing. It's just about catching her before she goes :). We will get it.
Crate train is great. Free time only after she has peed. Then back to the crate.
She is trained now:)
I KNOW this is 2 years old but it brought to mind something I use to make when my children were young when you talked about all the weenies you had, of course I know you don't have them now but when the kids were small money was very tight.

Yummy thanks for sharing

Yes!!! We had bought a new one and it died within a couple of years. This one was my aunts from when I was a kid! It is a workhorse!
You are so right I have had 20 plastic vacuums in the last 15 years nothing last oh I got a 15 year old Kirby and it works like a dog
I am sure it does. My mom had a Kirby for years!!!
I do!
Maxine is so adorable! The s'mores cones are going to be a hit at my house. Thanks for sharing.
Your welcome!!!
You did a fabulous job,
💜
If the ice cream cones have a flat bottom you can use then to make cakes in x
Loving these plans and the idea of the ice cream cones sounds delicious x
Thank you!!! For watching all the time
Thank you for taking to time out of your busy life to record and post these videos! They’ve really been helping me out with my meal planning ☺️
I'm glad and that makes me feel like it is worth doing , if it helps one person :)
We like sliced/fried hot dogs in our scrambled eggs, we also will add hot dogs to our macaroni and cheese and add peas also.
I thought about that too!!!
Sounds like it's time to fill those pools and have a kids party with hot dogs and lots of treats .😊
:). Sounds good !!!!
I am going to have to try the icecream cone treat. My kids would love that.
It feels so good when everything is checked off the list. But please make sure you take care of yourself!!
I am and I did:)
Great video! Good find on the sugar cones
Thank you
Pistachio cake sounds AMAZING!
It is my favorite
Wow, so much food, before shopping. My family would eat that for 3 next months.
We stock up
Nice !!! Good job on planing the meals
Thanks ria
Thank you very much, i will use it as soon as possible.
Hello hun hope you had a great Mother’s Day. I know it’s late to say that, but better late than never
I appreciate that. Happy mothers day everyday!!!
That is enough food for me for a couple of years
With all my puppies, I take them outside first thing in the morning, everytime they wake up, once every hour or so through the day, and last thing at night. Also after meals.

They are babies and go frequently, and cant hold it in. Love your channel ! You are amazing! 🐨🌴
Thank you for all the puppy help :). She is getting better. I'm happy you watch. :). Be blessed
Not sure if this is a nationwide thing or just local, but our Goodwill stores always do 50% off the entire store on the first Saturday of each month. You can really get some good deals!
Not here :(
I would LOVE to get the recipe for your pudding pops!!!!
I’m hungry now! Lol! As always love all your plans! It’s so much food! And then I laugh bc I have 8 kids... so maybe when mine are teens I will be getting more food! Or if God blesses us with more babies! ❤️
Thank you for watxhing

:). We had guests for two weeks as well. That gets you tired too:) I enjoy working and don't mind at all.
You could tie the 2 dogs together the little one will learn from the older one where it should go to the toilet the older one will help train with you.

That's funny our older dog does do well to keep maxi from running off and such but the bathroom hmmm that is an idea!!!
Yes us Michigan people love Koegle hotdogs🤗there the best!enjoy faygo soda pop and vernors too😋love watching you!!like I said if I lived near you we would be friends!i love going to discount store!goodwill!!!!and I like cooking the library😀list goes on
Vernors...is my favorite :). We probably would be :)
Yes us Michigan people need to stick together. I love BBQ Koegle hot dogs and as I am a diabetic I absolutely live diet orange faygo and I have the s\f Vernor's with that. From Michigan.
yep , same here ...... From Michigan and live in Michigan ! Our there is no other hotdog like ours ! And Fago is the best for a few reasons !
From MI but live in VA sometimes I see it here and I always buy it even though I only drink it when I am sick!
Me too lol
Do you ever do grocery haul videos of what you spent at the stores I'm always curious what other people spend on food
Hot dogs are great summertime Foods as the kids could easily microwave a hotdog for themselves. We put hot dogs in our mac and cheese as well as you could do baked beans with hot dogs. We also do spaghetti with hot dogs in it because Sheldon from The Big Bang Theory likes that LOL
Lol yes we love all those ways too!
!Tfs all ok your ideas
:)
I inventoried my freezer yesterday
Rice crispie snacks and also cupcake ice cream cones to to use some of those
Give yourself a break! You deserve it!! Good video. I don’t know what it is, but I hate organizing the freezer.
:). Thank you I did take a break
Amy, could you tell me how you do your meal planning? Where do you find your recipes? Do you figure out what you are going to need for each meal?

Just an idea - maybe you can use a the ice cones instead of the cups in the pudding cups.
They are the pointed kind :(
Hi! I know what you mean about the dog escaping. I have a 14 year old Toy Fox Terrier. When she was about 2 or 3 years old, she jumped on the dinner table. My Mom had me be firm with her, that was hard for me to do. 🐶❤
It is hard!!! They are so cute. I've been laying down the law on the pee pee issue and she knows :) on a positive note her ears have turned back down.
We have crate trained our dogs. After three months they were trained.
Okay that is good to know. She is actually doing a thousand times better than even a week ago :)
Hi there, greetings from northern Ireland. Just wondering if you do any item by item grocery hauls.- you know, where you put everything on your huge table and tell us exactly what you got. I think they would be awesome. love this video also. xo

You can use the hotdogs in stroganoff it tastes great!💖💓💗
Oh I have never done that. Hmmm will try
Wow! Are the kids too busy to help?
I already commented, (in between buffering on my end), but I can't wait for the high school curriculum, my daughter will be in the 9th grade next year.
I'm currently working on that now. That is why I haven't posted everyday :)
I have NEVER thawed my freezer. I think I'll do that on my next meal planning month - I cook for a family of 7. SUCH a GREAT idea to do it then since you have to look through everything anyway. I didn't think to use the coolers to store while it thaws :-) THEN, I'll clean it out with my Norwex Envirocloth - THANKS for the idea :-)
Love the norwex....ill do a video soon.
I love the ice cream cone smores idea. My kids will totally dig those. By the way where are your kids when you vlog? it's so quiet.
Lol. They are around :).
🤗🤗🤗🤗
Great video
Your the best ❤️❤️😍😍
How many freezers and refrigerators do you have? 😁
One big freezer. And two refrigerators / freezers:)
New sub here and really enjoying your videos!
I'm happy you are , nice to meet you
My lhasa apso was trained. When i bought a new persian rug for the living room he was happy to pee on it everyday! I had to remove the rug!
I'm heading to my kitchen LOL
:)
Maxine is soo cute !!
She is too cute. As I work she is curled up on my lap :)
Wow, you pack alot into a day, I dont know how you have time for yourself, or your husband...you need a day to grab some tea, a book and sit on your deck and a 'dont disturb' sign on your head..lol...
Lol. I don't think that is possible!!!! They would find me!!!!! Lol. I actually get a lot of time and my husband and I do more together now than we have ever done:)
Where do you get your containers you have in the freezer? They look to be 2 cups worth...
Amazon plastic deli containers pint size
You could do mini pizzas on the english muffins!
Yes that is a plan!!!
May I ask how much you spend on groceries? Your freezers seemed full yet you still bought more.
The stuff in my freezers were veges and fruit and things that we make ourselves like beans, lentil burgers etc. We spend 1200 per month for all of our needs :)
My beagle didnt want to pee or poo outside for 5 months... took her for long walks, she pooped/peed inside when we got home....!
Lol. That seems to be Maxine too
Thumbs up! 😃💝
Thank you!!!
I love this video, i spend 700 € in a month for 7 persons and sometimes it's not enough and i have no pet ! I think in France life is more expensive.
I start teaching the bible to my young kids, can you help me to start correctly ? ( books, applis or videos )
Thank you very much for all your videos ❤
I have a lot of resources for free on my blog www.plainandnotsoplain.com go see if there is something u can use :)
You know nothing of housetraining worries... I have 16 month old female shishon. (Shih tzu x Bichon frise) yeah. Apparently female shih tzu are renowned for being hard to toilet train. I did not know this BEFORE 🤣🤣
Yikes!!! I know , no complaints, just be patient amy:)
Lol:
Rule of Thumb...
Deserts = 🌵🐪🌵🐫🌵
Desserts = 🍦🥧🎂🍪🍮 🍨
(You 😳 add an extra “S” for the SUGAR!) 😲 ❤️👍😉
FYI:
Stressed spelled backwards = DESSERTS!! (Coincidence?? I think 🤔 💭 not! 😳😲👍❤️😉😏
Enjoy!! 👍❤️😉😏😘
Your awesome! Thanks

Why is ever thing on the wrong side in this video? I'm so confused.
I used to always pray to have been born into a strong christian family. But then i came out as gay so that would still be a risk of abandonment. I love your videos! They even give me food ideas.
I wasn't born into a strong christian family either and had to do a lot of learning on my own. I had to get to the point where I wanted more out of life. I am happy that you enjoy the videos and that it gives u some ideas to make !
For a family of 12 what mess. Wow it looks like the mess my daughter and I make during the week and we’re a little family of two with our cat.
do you know what is in hotdogs?
I do:)
D
