I love watching your organizing videos. You give new meaning to the term "hard worker." I have 2 people in my household and seem to struggle to feed, clean, organize everyone. God bless. Keep posting videos
Andrea. Thank you for posting such great videos. I only have 4 kids at home (and one adult, married son). I have been very ill for almost 3 yrs. I lost the skills of being organized and having a good running home. I cannot even fathom going on a camping trip. I am glad the Lord brought me to your channel. ♡♡♡
My parents always had my sister and I bring mini backpacks in addition to our suitcases, or in your case, backpacks for clothing. The little backpacks would have our game boys or MP3 players, chargers, a favorite stuffed animal, and a travel pillow for the drive. While at the theme parks, we would be responsible for keeping our own water bottles, sunscreen, sunglasses, cameras, spending money etc. for the day in the little backpacks.
I'm a 15 year old boy and I never intend on having a family, but for some reason I love watching your videos! It's amazing how you balance everything and you seem like a wonderful mom :)
Very thorough.... you're a planner. Like ME! :D Sometimes, after finishing a chart, I just sit back and smile happily at it. Oh.. the little joys in life. hahahahaha
This reminds me so much of my trip to South Africa. My hole family was there and we were so bad at organising. We slept in this big house and all the kids slept on the balcony and in the living room and all the adults got beds. There was 20 of us and I wish we had someone like you to prognoses everyone 😂
@@_x3o_ ocd is weird. Mine is mostly obsessively checking on things and intrusive thoughts, but I understand how the anxiety (because it's an anxiety based disorder) could make you feel a need to be very organized.
I think it is so great that you put money aside for a trip every month! That's a great way to get excited and also save up for something fun to do as a family!!
I love your videos!! I am a single, childless 30 yr old woman who dreams of having a home and family. while I don't see myself having 8 kids, I definitely want 2 or 3. Your videos are giving me tons of info on budgeting and planning for a family and I will take in as much info as I can, so I can be a bit more prepared when I have a family. 😀
Years ago I had a sister in-law that we stayed with while on vacation. It made it so much easier to be able to do extra fun things while on vacation:) Major Blessing!! Love how you fit everything in just a few bags:) Great Job!!
Wow! You are so onto it! I only have one kid and we only travel a max of 5hrs and I still pack everything but the kitchen sink 😂 I will definitely be doing some more planning next trip we take! Thank you for the tips! 😊
Just found your channel, but it is perfect timing. We are planning a big road trip in a couple months. It's the first we've taken as a family of 6. Even with "only* four kids, I love looking at how moms with bigger families organize. So many great ideas. Thanks!
Have an awesome time out there. We visited CA in April and went to Legoland. The majority of our brood are Lego builders and they have the buy one get one free. We took our nephew with us and we were able to have 4 of our children get in for free. We loved it! The beach time was amazing too, that was really our main activity. We live in the desert in AZ, so going to the ocean is amazing.
I bet Northern AZ. I have been watching pretty much all of your videos while doing laundry etc... They are a great encouragement and ministry unto me, specially in the areas of contentment. To be content so long as we take care of the two things, food and clothes. Our families are very similar, we also home church, homeschool, my husband has his own business, we don't believe the manufactured news and we can neither confirm nor deny NASA's claims, lol. Your idea for dry erase boards simply genius. I already turned a few picture frames into dry erase boards. Anyways God bless you all. I have a few questions about using herbs for specific issues like gallbladder and liver health. I'll ask them on the appropriate videos.
Oh no, the pleasure is all mine. You would be the good twin, lol. I think it's funny how we can always find someone that lives similar lives, not identical but similar. I believe a lot as you do about medicine, although I cave in sometimes for reassurance. I know that God is in control so I feel so silly when I doubt. We delivered our last baby in the front seat of our van and he's a healthy 3 year old. You'll be seeing a lot of me in your comment section. I watched your videos on my Playstation in my bedroom while folding laundry so I couldn't comment or thumbs up anything. I'm working on my laptop now so I can comment.
Love it! We're a large family too (11 kiddos) and just took a trip to CA in May to see family. My husband and I are from CA, but have lived in TX the past 17 years. I begin trip planning about two months in advance, and my itinerary looks much like yours. Hope you had a wonderful time!
What you have is what so many of us would love to have. A large close loving family. Money is relatively unimportant. Making do is an art form and can be an enjoyable challenge providing you have love. Home schooling is like the icing on the cake. My family is all grown up and it was difficult and we had no money but it was an abusive relationship so I can't compare mine with yours. But it is lovely seeing your videos. Very Waltons (70s TV.)
I find this so fascinating. My family we would just plan as we go, so it's new to see a family so organized. When my family goes on vacation we do whatever we feel like doing at that moment, we never really plan ahead so much. I suppose this is very helpful when you have a large family like yours. It's really organized, and smart.
We used to be more relaxed about plans, but I'm always looking for ways to make things more efficient and I realized one of the biggest vacation time wasters is when everyone looks at each other and says, "What do you want to do?" An hour later you're finally going somewhere. Planning it ahead of time gives us so much more time to have fun!
That chart is the most genius thing I have ever seen. That would have been so helpful for this Thanksgiving trip we are currently on to visit the hubby's family in Arizona! We budgeted and did my usual anal planning and have stayed on track pretty well, but we found ourselves not knowing what to do besides Discovery Kingdom with the kids when we got here. I started budgeting and planning out trips and things about a year ago, so I don't expect myself to be the best planner ever quite yet, but I really hope I can get to be as organized and planned as you were for this trip sometime soon before we have our first kid. Loved the video! Hope you had a great time on your trip.
Your like super mom! I have a one year old named Isaac and I thought that was hard. I give you props for raising so many kids and homeschooling them that's awesome!
In a lot of ways, you do have it hard! Your life is so different going from 0 to 1. It's a lot easier, at least I think it is, having more. I felt like my life had been turned upside down after my first!
lol , as soon as I saw those water bottles I knew you got them from Oriental Trading. I see those leaving our building each and every single day,, they are truly popular :) .
We bought more hangers at Ikea last week, so I may have the color coordination down soon enough! I'm excited! I even figured a way to hang clothes by our washer/dryer in the garage. I bragged on you tonight to a good friend. she was asking about our school year & I told her my new ideas I got from you. California starts school so early! I can't stand it! the first & second week of August here in the bay area. can you imagine? enjoy having the rule of the places. Haha I prayed for you all tonight. to have a safe drive. In n Out Burger! you must go! LOL yum!
you remind me SO much of my mother!! I'm the youngest of 4. I know she would of had more if her body allowed. she has 7 siblings herself lol She is the most prepared woman I know... our trip were very similar! When I was younger it would get frustrating! Now I'm 21 and WISH I was as prepared as her when I go on trips and that's even without children!
Knotts Berry Farm! How fun! My PiL live near there (Upland), and we love to go when we visit. I hope you have a wonderful holiday. =) I love how organized you are. The colourful pillows and water bottles are really fun.
I love your print outs! We are going on our 4th road trip and I still haven't come up with a great way to prepare your set up is perfect and inspired me.
I log on to RUclips and this is the first video on on my feed.. My heart skipped a little.. it’s bizarre that a three year old video would be the first video to show, but its okay.. ❤️Rest in Paradise Andrea 😇
I love your organizational skills! I've have to keep a few of these things in mind for our trip to California next summer. (my husband is also from Cali but we live in Alabama)
I need this. We have a family of 10 and I am planning a road trip for late November and it will take 17 hours. Traveling with 8 children will be a challenge for us, especially in a car for a long period of time.
In my family total is 6 people and when we travel to go to different country to go visit my family, we stay with our family because whats the point because you are hang out with your family and then when you are doing fun things you can leave your family to go do them so that saves money, but the rest is great good job
Hey why dont you try loooking for smaller backpacks that have the pockket for drinks on the side for them it would be great so they could wear it and not so much mess in a stroller
I'm in middle school, wait till they grow up, common core stinks! but what is good is you can sleep in and you don't have to worry about forgetting your locker combo
SLucas YT LOL! Sleeping in? That doesn't happen for me. I'm I'm middle school, too, and I have to wake up at 5:25 every morning to get ready for school which starts at 7:00 for me
I ordered mine from Amazon, but they actually came from Oriental Trading Company. www.orientaltrading.com/neon-water-bottles-a2-26_1680.fltr?prodCatId=553144
I envy your organization skills, everytime I try to organize for my family I get so flustered. Out of curiosity how long did it take you to plan this vacation? Did everything go as planned? I wish I could hire you to organize my life 😉. Awesome job mama, I concur being a mom is definitely a full time job.
So hard to believe Andrea is gone , such a wise and kind lady x Lovely for the kids to have these videos to look back on.
She seems such a kind lady

This woman is so organised! Good on her!!

Sometimes, after finishing a chart, I just sit back and smile happily at it.
Oh.. the little joys in life. hahahahaha
I know that feeling. :) Or when I finish organizing something and I keep going back to admire it.
Andrea Mills 😂

Organise **
*Organize
jennathebanenna Organise* depending on where you are, they're probably from England, Ireland or generally not from North America.
Alek Day okay thanks I didn't know that spelling
I could listen to her talk about anything. Andrea has such a calming voice
You are the most organized person I've ever seen
Now somebody dare to say that being a mum isn't a full time job :)
They get paid with hugs and kisses and mood swings.
Uncreative Child and mood swings ahaha
Emilia Podstawka Oh my gosh right!
mum no mom
Rita Bozarth it's mum where we live soooo....
So so missed!!!! Kisses in heaven Andrea!!!!
I love how organized you are! My OCD is satisfied after watching all your lists and plans. I got some good ideas too!
you probably *don't* have ocd...
@@_x3o_ ocd is weird. Mine is mostly obsessively checking on things and intrusive thoughts, but I understand how the anxiety (because it's an anxiety based disorder) could make you feel a need to be very organized.

Hey this is the first video and it really made me happy to see such a beautiful family with wonderful name's (Eden😉)
Another Eden!
it would be names. Not "name's" in no form would that ever be correct grammar.
😄😄😄😄
Cool
+jennacablair it would. 'Her name's Eden'. In this form it is correct grammar, so you're kinda wrong.
Subscribed! I never enjoyed watching organization videos but now i just wanna organize my entire house! lol
Great Video By The Way!
I love your videos and tips. Thank-you for sharing!

you are so organized and such a good mom. you are so humble and really understand appreciation. I hope you had a great vacation !!!!!!

Still learning things from Andrea even after her death. Reminded what a loss for all when she was taken so soon. Love and miss you Andrea!
Lots of planning, effort & organization -- incredible! Love your videos

lol , as soon as I saw those water bottles I knew you got them from Oriental Trading. I see those leaving our building each and every single day,, they are truly popular :) .
You should seriously write a book on organization! I would definetly buy it.
We bought more hangers at Ikea last week, so I may have the color coordination down soon enough! I'm excited! I even figured a way to hang clothes by our washer/dryer in the garage.

I love your print outs! We are going on our 4th road trip and I still haven't come up with a great way to prepare your set up is perfect and inspired me.
Enjoy your trip! You certainly are well prepared!
Your organizational skills are AMAZING!
Dude, I am literally sitting here taking notes! Thanks for your videos, you are really helpful :)

She was really amazing!
Love your videos hope you have a great time!
love your videos very helpful
Wow! You must be the most organised person ever! If only I had even 1% of your skills lol
I think I'll steal some of your ideas as I plan our upcoming trip!
I can't get over how much Thomas looks like Andrea. Right down to their mouths. Beautiful! 👍
The Rain Forest Cafe is one of my favorite place to eat!

Hope you guys are having fun in California!

In my family total is 6 people and when we travel to go to different country to go visit my family, we stay with our family because whats the point because you are hang out with your family and then when you are doing fun things you can leave your family to go do them so that saves money, but the rest is great good job
I homeschooled but I start on September the 6th right after Labor Day!
Andrea is such a sweet spirit..
Just amazing❤
can you do a video about how to budget .. Thank you
That video is coming soon since money is our topic for January.
Andrea Mills .. thanks
Your plan was a wonderful
Hey why dont you try loooking for smaller backpacks that have the pockket for drinks on the side for them it would be great so they could wear it and not so much mess in a stroller

Forever_Fire because they are homeschooled
What are the coloured jar things on your right?
watching this now and realizing how much I miss getting to see her videos :(
where did you get the water bottles from if you don't mind me asking
I ordered mine from Amazon, but they actually came from Oriental Trading Company. www.orientaltrading.com/neon-water-bottles-a2-26_1680.fltr?prodCatId=553144

Don't get it wrong with the fact you have a good 😊 and you have a lot of fun with it
