    Most would say you are very brave taking all your children shopping with you. I think it's amazing how well they all behave in public and at home. Congratulations on the amazing job you have done with your parenting abilities. The children are amazing in their music talents and abilities.

    Enjoyed your Target and Costco hall! I can’t say it enough, your children are so beautiful in nature inside and out! Moses is so patient. It’s amazing how you make that food stretch for a week! I feel bad for buying 1 of each fruit a C. It’s so much, but we are trying to eat more now that it is hot here in Tx. We have had so many crackers and chips before the fruit starting to become so fresh again!
    Just FYI, we bought boxes of the AÇAÍ bowls and add a little fresh fruit cut up small like strawberries, grapes, and some bananas. We eat it for desert or night time snack. It is just delicious and the granola with the coconut flakes come with the bowls! Great change from ice cream habit!
    I hope you share with the children how much praise they receive for their behavior!
    God bless you and I hope you have a wonderful Easter and fun decorating the 🪺

    I really enjoy your videos and how calming they are :) a question though: what is the collagen powder for? And would you be open to talk about the effects so many births had on your body? Especially as in a previous video you mentioned that you have issues with your leg veins and wear compression tights. I'm yet to be a mom, but I'm just in awe of how great in shape you are. Greetings from Germany 😊

    • @TheHappyCaravan
      @TheHappyCaravan  Год назад

      Aw thank you! Yes probably the most notable effect has been the toll it has taken on my veins. But I also have a genetic predisposition to vein problems. I do some core exercises to help my stomach muscles stay in gear. When you get pregnant (in the later stages of pregnancy) your stomach muscles actually separate a bit to allow your growing womb to expand. It’s great so the baby has room, but also after pregnancy you have to help those muscles get back in shape. I only do about 10 minutes of exercise on the floor every morning, but it really helps.

    You need to teach the Dougherty Dozen mom, Alicia, how to manage and budget her funds for grocery shopping, birthday and Christmas spending. This women is outta control. Materialistic things, a small house for 14 of them, tripping over “stupid unnecessary stuff”, and the lack of irresponsibility of these kiddos not helping with chores. Seriously 5 refrigerators and freezers, the snack shelves. Completely outta control. Your so awesome! The move to NYC to inspire your children for better and higher education. 👍🏽 Keep up the awesome super mom job. 👍🏽❤️

I wonder if maybe some of the extra stuff she buys that her kids don’t need or use goes to that cause? She hasn’t shown it in a while. No mama is perfect but I think she genuinely loves her kids.

      I made a rambling 42 minute video about it recently. We’ve been on a wild ride after the pandemic. My husband was a graphic designer for 20 years. But when we moved to the Bay Area we were thrown off of our plans. Currently we are moving towards using social media to support our daily expenses and music. We aren’t quite there yet so we are using savings and music performance to help bridge the gap, (especially to pay the music teacher bill)❤️
