Such a beautiful vlog, especially the ending when they pull up and the kiddos are still awake at midnight waiting on their mom and dad, and you hear the frogs (or whatever) croaking at the pond. Home is where the ❤️ is. Andrea made sure of it. Tom is a great father, I pray most of all for his strength to endure the loss of his wife/ best friend. For the kids I have no words... Their loss is unimaginable. I didn't know of Andrea till this week when her passing was announced on RUclips. In just a few days she has taught me a wealth of knowledge, and has humbled me beyond words. My love and prayers are with Tom and the family. God bless you all! 😭💕💔
I'm going back and watching all your old videos every day. It's so nice to see you two just having fun like a couple of teenagers. These videos will be such a gift to your family over the coming years. What a legacy. Our family joins you in your grief, and you're in our prayers. I wonder if you'd consider monetizing the old videos? It would be cool for Andrea to give a little cheque to your family from heaven every month.
Since I can’t sleep because of my daughters current situation after the accident. I have been watching old videos of my fav family. I truly Miss Andrea... She would say why worry what’s the worst thing to happen, look at the worse case scenarios, no matter what things will work out, you will figure it out, you will get thru it. I loved seeing you smile talking to the girls in the beginning at the pizza place, you looked so happy. I’m so sorry for you Tom and your beautiful children 😢 I pray for you all 🙏🏼 I love hearing her sweet voice and seeing her beautiful smile and let’s not forget her precious giggle ❤️ She always leaves me with such a sense of peace🧎♀️🙏🏼💙
I really enjoy rewatching these older videos.. she’s raised some amazing children and I’m sure she’s looking down on the family smiling 💖Also super proud of Tom for his strength through everything.
Watching this brings me so much joy. God gave you both such amazing time together on this earth. She will be waiting for you with her arms wide open. ❤️
A place I just realized has a ton of homeschool supplies is the dollar tree. Usually I spend 30 to 40 on office type supplies and notebooks. At the dollar tree I spent $10. And it was the same brands I used from Walmart.
I buy erasers at the dollar tree they have a pack of 6 large erasers there is a colorful pack and then there is a pink pack i always buy the colorful pack
For somethings dollar tree is cheaper. But not most. Folders and notebooks you can get them cheaper at Staples. Crayons, markers and pens definitely better at anywhere else than dollar tree. And another thing... off brand markers and crayons have asbestos in them.
You’ve inspired me to start producing more and consuming less (I like how you phrased that). I’m not to your level yet, but I’ve been cooking from scratch a lot more, and it’s so rewarding!! I love the feeling of feeding and nourishing my family through my own work, and spending much less in the process. For example I tried your Dutch oven bread this week (without an actual dutch oven)- huge success, approved by all :) Thank you!
Love the video as always! Tom on that flour had me cracking up. I’m excited to see the recipes you will be sharing. Good for y’all for doing so well with the cutting back on the budget, it’s encouraging me to work on mine :)
I’m looking forward to seeing your videos on your homemade items. You are so inspiring! I especially am looking forward to your chips recipe and your laundry soap bars.
I loved this! Your shopping hauls with Tom are some of my favorites! I missed little Hannah in this one, but it’s nice for you two to get a “date night”. Sure hope you’re doing some videos featuring all that wonderful homemade stuff! I am especially interested in the homemade Mac and cheese powder!!!
Darian Weldon fish oil has helped all of my dogs - I sprinkle it in their food. From small shi tzu to a large mix dog. Just like with people it helps with skin, hair, and joints. I now buy my dog food with salmon & peas, so I haven’t had to supplement. The dog food smells like fish oil at least. Lol!
I am a "retired" handcrafted soapmaker...and have been making my homemade laundry soap bars ( 100% coconut oil soap) and laundry "butter" for several years. I look forward to your recipe for the pods ( although I have a pretty good idea) 😉 Also looking forward to several other of your recipes. Lovely video, as usual. Thank You again, for bringing us into your life! God's Blessing's to you and yours ❤❤❤
Wow! Good for you Andrea for making the most of a budget. I can’t get over all the homemade things! You inspire me to do the same. Sometimes I find that making homemade isn’t always cheaper but I love doing it for the purpose of it being healthier. As long as I break even it’s worth it. God bless you from my house to yours!
Hi Andrea! I have twin grandchildren 22 mo old - a boy & a girl. I have found some really cute well made clothes at Walmart very reasonably priced. I also shop 'clearance' both in store & on line & have got some amazing bargains. I always thought your little girl's dresses were so sweet. I applaud you for making your own soaps & detergents. At least you know what ingredients are in them. I enjoy all your videos. Thank you so much for sharing your family! Patty Alberta Canada 🇨🇦
I have a 4 year old grand niece and her 2 year old brother who I spend way too much on at Walmart. But, I can't help it when I can get an outfit for less than $3 on clearance AND bonus- each piece can be paired with something else for even more options! :-) I can't even shop the Goodwill anymore for that cheap. They want $2.79 per piece!
You might enjoy melting wax. You can get a Mainstays wax warmer for under $7 and then pick up wax packs for under $1 or $2 at Walmart. I just started in the spring and i love it. There's no smoke and you can mix scents and have scent all day. It's really fun and my kids like it too. Wax melter people love the Walmart wax warmer and the wax packs there so they are good ones. They have seasonal scents which are fun to get and try.
Tom, that flour bag squish was hilarious! I swear I love that Claudia! I think potato chip making is going to have to be on my list. I need to try it at least once. :-)
As always, you are one busy mama, Andrea! I think it's wonderful that you have learned how to make so many household items, and would love to learn along with you; if you have the chance to film? Love you all
Love to see how you make all the stuff Andrea Plesaeeeee!!! Yes you done really well shopping love it when Tom like the little light and said just dreaming can't have it on a budget lol, Oh I'm sure it was strange not having Hannah there you both need time alone, great video enjoy it as always!!! Gods Blessing To You and Family Love and Hugs Liz x
I can't wait to see your homemade videos, I've been looking for this exact type of thing. I just rewatched your sewing machine tutorial, I love your teaching style.
Hi Andrea, I too, look forward to watching your upcoming "how to make " series. May I also ask that you please include some more sewing videos? One last comment. I love burning candles and have tried all different brands and I personally like the Yankee brand candles. yes, they are more expensive but I find them to last longer and scent them air much better than any other candle I've tried! Be well dear friends !
Hi guys! As always you brought a smile to my face. What a nice way to start my day. Thank you! 👍👍❤️ P.S. Miss Andrea I too would love to see your homemade items made.
I love watching ya. I did not realize how much I take from ya until I realized a few days ago at the store that I was stacking my items neatly in the cart. When I realized it, I was like, wait, what am I doing here - I usually toss things in haphazardly. Then I thought about ya and realized where I was getting this neatness from, lol. I love how ya do that!
Woohoo ... almost time to go again ... I'm starting to plan my OAM big trip on the 31st (my 55th bday) Filling up my cupboards is the best present!! We're limited this month on favorites and options ... nobody will starve ... but im feeling food insecurity
Well done on your budget!Wow you are amazing making all your own stuff from scratch.I didnt even know that some things could be home made.You should be very proud of yourself,love to all of your lovely family,Foxy in Australia.
If knuckles is having skin issues, try switching to a fish-based food or adding Omega3+6 to his existing diet! A lot of skin issues, as well as general coat and nail issues, can be remedied with Omegas! :)
I have tried to make laundry detergent and it never works as well as the store bought ones. I now just buy the cheapest detergent. I would be happy to see what you come up with so I can save money as well.
Have you tried amazon? I’m sure you can find a lot of the things you buy at Walmart for much cheaper. They even have two day shipping! I know you guys live in a small town but it’s worth the try.
Wow Hannah 1 years old crazy how fast she’s growing up! It is exciting when plants start coming up in the garden!! We harvested our rhubarb for the first time took years for it to get to that point and made some strawberry rhubarb crisp so delicious! That’s great that you’re trying to make more homemade items! I hope they all work well for you! Loved the frogs calling to each other at the end!
Wow you made so many homemade products. Great job! I only make my homemade cleaner, moisturizer, wipes and sunblock. I noticed the nice dishtowels , Are you using less paper towels ? Its such a large expense i use washclothes and dishtowels in the kitchen, and im trying cloth napkins but thats hard with 10.
I keep watching because I don’t want to believe she’s gone, she was a wonderful role model xxxxx
Linda Hunter I understand. I watch with sadness in my heart. Know what we know now
Linda Hunter yes she was a wonderful mum and a beautiful person 🙏🏻
Me too!!!❤️

Tom...teaching his girls to pursue peace. Sweet & simple
RIP Andrea you will be missed.
This is the goal of most women
To be free to be a mom. To be validated for that by a husband that truly appreciates her

You will be missed sweet lady. 🦋
Even though I am a college student, your videos are my favorite to watch. Something about them calms me down after a long day. Have a wonderful day!
hannah stom exactly the same here!
hannah stom I’m glad I’m not alone!
I agree, Andrea makes very calming videos.
I'm going to miss talks hauls. 😭. RIP Andrea, love to Tom and all the children. You're in my thoughts and prayers.
I can’t let go.
I miss Andreas smile, laugh, and her in the vlogs!
Just watching old videos as you have been in my thoughts these past couple of days. Lots of love from my family to yours during this difficult time ♥️
Andrea you would be so proud of Tom and the kids. I know they miss you terribly but I also know that you watch over them from above🦋
I chuckled when Tom said he was squishing one of the items for his fans.😀. I’m one of his fans & always look forward to that. 😀
Imagine if the bag had burst and flour went everwhere. That would be hilarious
A beloved wife, mother & friend.❤
I really enjoy rewatching these older videos.. she’s raised some amazing children and I’m sure she’s looking down on the family smiling 💖Also super proud of Tom for his strength through everything.
Watching this brings me so much joy. God gave you both such amazing time together on this earth. She will be waiting for you with her arms wide open. ❤️
Love watching old videos with Andrea... miss her very much 😢
I miss you, Andrea. Rest in Peace beautiful lady.
I will gladly watch every ad to suppose you and your family, and to be able to spend more time with your children. Much love to you all ❤️💕
The sounds of the clothes, socks packages, etc are very relaxing to me. I love when you do the shopping videos bc it always relaxes me!
Missing Andrea after watching the latest vlog. The shopping vlogs were some of my fave videos. RIP Andrea!
I can’t wait till you post how you made all your stuff! I need to get in the habit of making more stuff we use. ❤️

Yes Tom-loving the floor squash!! Ah memories..
Happy for your veg Andrea! I cant grow anything!!
Be still my heart. My favorite family. You did great on the clothing haul and your homemade items. Your gifted at whatever you do Andrea! 💕💕💕
"Sophia, Dad needs to talk to you." 🤣🤣🤣 Those kids, especially Claudia, are comic relief! 💕💕💕
Love watching your beautiful family grow. You are an inspiration to many. Can't wait to see the clothes you have sewn.
14:11 Tom laying on things to fit them in the cart lol you still do that 4yrs later 😂 you just did that the other day.
You’ve inspired me to start producing more and consuming less (I like how you phrased that). I’m not to your level yet, but I’ve been cooking from scratch a lot more, and it’s so rewarding!!

The homemade items look wonderful! Wish I were so skilled!
I loved watching this video 📸🤩 from california 😁🤗😻
What an amazing lady and oh how she is missed ❤️

Can't wait for your recipes!
Love the video as always! Tom on that flour had me cracking up. I’m excited to see the recipes you will be sharing. Good for y’all for doing so well with the cutting back on the budget, it’s encouraging me to work on mine :)
Loving lady may you rest in peace
Yes an upload!! Love these so much.
I’m looking forward to seeing your videos on your homemade items. You are so inspiring! I especially am looking forward to your chips recipe and your laundry soap bars.

Sure hope you’re doing some videos featuring all that wonderful homemade stuff! I am especially interested in the homemade Mac and cheese powder!!!
💙💜 I love your whole family. 💚💛
P.s. I can do ALL things through Christ who gives me strength... St. Paul, contentment in various trials, Philippians 4:13. Love you, Tom
Your shopping trips are mind boggling to me.
It is kinda weird not seeing Hannah with you guys
My dog had the same issue we put him of a fish based dog food and we put fish oil in his food. So if you want try it, I encourage it, it helped.
Darian Weldon fish oil has helped all of my dogs - I sprinkle it in their food. From small shi tzu to a large mix dog. Just like with people it helps with skin, hair, and joints.

You guys look really tired, not bad, just worn out. I'll be keeping you in my prayers. 😊

Please share your home made receipes.
You are amazing
Would love your recipe for the homemade stuff you make! does it help with your budget? Looking to help with our big family budget as well.
Well done with all the homemade products. Very clever lady. :)
Need to know how to make dishwasher pods. I don't like all that plastic around the commercial ones.
I so hope you share your recipes for the things you made I sure need to save anywhere I can. Love Tom's shopping method, always a laugh.
I would also LOVE to know how you made things like laundry soap pods/bars, dish soap (haven’t had luck), Mac & cheese stuff, hair spray? Etc.
I have tried to make laundry detergent and it never works as well as the store bought ones. I now just buy the cheapest detergent. I would be happy to see what you come up with so I can save money as well.
Great video,..... I laughed Very loud When Tom layed down on The bag of flour😂 big hug from The Netherlands
Have you tried amazon? I’m sure you can find a lot of the things you buy at Walmart for much cheaper. They even have two day shipping! I know you guys live in a small town but it’s worth the try.
