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.
Your channel needs to be YOUR family and YOUR story.please stop imitating the format of DD.. You have better things, adventures, life etc to share.. hoping you canbreak from that office which represents you r family. Good luck.. JUST BE YOURSELVES, don't imitate DD.
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 🪺
How cool you guys are! Friends in my head. Love your a. Musical family.. I adore music . I sing ,grandma sang at the met.. Im not as good believe me. But I do love it
Hello from Kentucky. My son was in New York City last fall when he was working in that area. He works for an electrical contractor He was driving a bucket truck. A major culture shock.
It always cracks me up you take kids to a store and a trip is not complete without a bathroom trip and when my kids were little they always had to get a drink out of the drinking fountain at the store.
Hey lady I am actually catching up watching your videos and I absolutely love all of them so far .... esp the one where people ask if you are copying other folks .... Haters gonna hate and if I could of had a big family I would of ~~~ keep doing what you are doing and best of luck to your kids and their music journey ~~ I love listening to them ......
Please make a video (if you haven’t, already) about your van and its custom wrap job. It is one of a kind and probably easy to spot anywhere you go! Beautiful family and patient parents! I ❤️ how you both always respond to your children’s questions, no matter where you are!
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 😊
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.
Wow awesome Costco Haul lots of yummy food awesome sweet dearest friends The Happy Caravan and lots of hugs and love to you all and your whole family 😊❤️💕
I noticed an Aldi next to the Target as you were walking in. I’m curious as to why you don’t shop there? Where I live in St. Louis, Aldi is more economical than Trader Joe’s and they still carry a lot of healthy and organic options. It’s also much less expensive than Target. You should check it out.
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. 👍🏽❤️
Thank you🙏❤️Alicia has a room in her basement where she collects things (toys and clothes) for new foster/adopt families. 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.
You need to learn to be kind and less judgmental! Alicia does a lot for others and her family. What she decides to show people On RUclips is a small part. So don’t be rude and insult a family because you yourself would never do such a thing. You are out of control with your comment, very rude!
Amber Easter is April 9th Sunday. if YOU forgotten. Melody💋 I love YOU little sweetheart .You are an Angel😇 CHLOE and ANNA know their Candy. They love their sugar, everyone has a sweet tooth. But we don't want cavities so brush those teeth kids. Love watching your beautiful FAMIILY Amber!! Love you all and Blessing.🤟❤❤❤❤❤❤❤🙏🙏🙏 PS are Chloe and Anna twins they look so alike. So Gorgeous they are.. Love all your girls hair so long and Gorgeous.

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)❤️
We definitely change it up! I used to have an “on Monday we eat this, on Tuesday we eat this…” schedule before I got pregnant with Moses and the kids didn’t seem to mind. But after I got pregnant with Moses I had to change it up!😅 We are on more of a monthly schedule now.
The manager has done a show with PBS about classical music and his son is a classically trained musician so it seemed like a good fit. I actually got to meet Alicia on Saturday and she and the kids are actually super kind. I know there are a lot of channels about her, we all have flaws as mamas, but I do feel she genuinely loves her children and they love her back.
@@TheHappyCaravan what a classy way to address this. Your Christian kindness is shining through. Alicia has put so much out there publicly that it makes it easy to criticize her for just about anything. It's easy for us as viewers to be critical.
I have mild arthritis. Especially in my thumb. Kind of lame sorry 😅 They have copper in them and it’s supposed to help. I have no idea what I’m going to do in the summer because they are warm!
I watched your videos all the time.l, but I don't understand why the babies never had a coat on while traveling to San Diego trip and everyone else did,
@@TheHappyCaravan Sarah!? You don’t want to follow her recipes. Take a half gallon of Fairlife milk and pour it into an instant pot. Add a2 teaspoons of plain Greek yogurt for the starter. Whisk in a teaspoon or 2 of vanilla extract. If you want sweetener add half a can of sweetened condensed milk. Whisk till smooth. Set on yogurt setting. It takes 8 hours but totally hands off. Delicious homemade yogurt. No need to boil anything.
She explained in another video the sacrifices they've made to nurture their children's talent. She has finally found a way to make a decent income via tik tok and RUclips. This is hardly exploitation.

New subscriber here , love how you give us a tour of New York City also , and your kids are so well behaved 😀
Thank you!🙏❤️
The kids must have a lot of respect for you and your husband. They're so well-behaved and they all look out for one another. It's really amazing.
Thank you!🙏❤️
You're not just the one of the best youtubers in the US also your RUclips channel is the best in NYC
Aw thank you!🙏❤️
Ugh the struggle of keeping a bay awake so they can have a good nap at home!! I remember those days!! Glad he stayed awake for you!
❤️❤️❤️yes!
Happy Easter from Canada !! Thanks for sharing your adventures. I'm always surprised that the stores aren't busier. :)
Yes! I think most people in NYC don’t have a car so going to Costco means taking an Uber or taxi. I’m just so grateful for a parking lot!
You're one of the best family musician youtubers in the US and also your family is so cute your kids are well behaved also Enoch is the cutest
Thank you!🙏❤️

Yes!😅The trip to the bathroom is always always an adventure!❤️No trip to to Target is complete without it!
@@TheHappyCaravan the way my kids acted the trip to the bathroom was as fun as Disney.
Haha yes!😅

I've always wander the story behind the drawings on your van.😊 Looks so unique and beautiful! ❤️
Thank you yes it’s the kids amazing art. I couldn’t just leave it in a box it needed to be on display ❤️🙌🏼

There is a different Easter for orthodox , it isn’t the 9th .
Where exactly is Costco in NYC? I need to know please since I'm on the LES. Thank you.
It is in Harlem. Close to the Harlem River. ❤️

New subscriber. Do you, have a garden? Raised gardens are great. That could help, your food budget. Love watching, your video tours.
Yes! We do have a little garden❤️
No coats in car seats!!! Many blessings
Thank you… I never heard that before ❤️
@@TheHappyCaravan only for your kids who are still using hardness in the car seats. Google it for more info ❤️
I love that target BJ's is the best store in the mall
Yes! Glad to have these stores here!
Those chocolate crapes are really good
Yes!😋
I love the variety and balance of food ! We are the same with our children ! I wish I lived closer to a castco!
Thank you! Yes Costco is a huge blessing!
Costco
Happy Ester!!
Happy Easter!
What do you do for work? Not being critical just wondering being new York is expensive

Do y'all get the same thing every week or do you change it up
We definitely change it up! I used to have an “on Monday we eat this, on Tuesday we eat this…” schedule before I got pregnant with Moses and the kids didn’t seem to mind. But after I got pregnant with Moses I had to change it up!😅 We are on more of a monthly schedule now.
The card game is so much fun!!! You totally should have gotten it! 😅
We’ll have to try it!
God morning I am a new subscriber from The Dougherty Dozen
Thank you! Yes I got to meet Alicia on Saturday and she and her husband and kids are really kind people.
Target price match and they have dollar general and dollar tree also
Good to know!
And could you not freeze that milk in your freezer or you don't have enough space
Right now the freezer is almost full too, but that’s a good idea if it ever empties a bit!
Just discovered your channel. Shocked to see you are “affiliated” with the Dougherty Dozen
Dangerous territory …..

I'm trying to show my sister your Adams family video but can't find it 😢. Would you please post it again?
Just look up “homeschool family” Tim Hawkins and it will come up ruclips.net/video/-34EL7i2WHQ/видео.html
I never ate organic food before how does it taste
i would buy a half of cow to save on all my meat costs.
Yes! We only have a little freezer though ❤️
Is there a reason other than warmth that you wear fingerless gloves?
I have mild arthritis. Especially in my thumb. Kind of lame sorry 😅 They have copper in them and it’s supposed to help. I have no idea what I’m going to do in the summer because they are warm!
Hi from Mississippi
Hello!👋
Easier is early this year it’s April 9th
Yes! I finally figured that out!❤️🙌🏼
Have your children made any friends in NYC?
Yes especially the college students of course but amazingly we found a church with kids that are the same age as our kids! So they are friends ❤️
I watched your videos all the time.l, but I don't understand why the babies never had a coat on while traveling to San Diego trip and everyone else did,
I meant the babies Moses
Yes! I know… it was pretty warm there so I brought a sweater but maybe a light coat would be good too!
you could have went to the dollar store or dollar general for the candy and grass
They prob don’t have one close they are in NY not the suburbs
Probably a good idea!
@@AmGr50 I'm talking about grass for the Easter basket 😂😂
How come you don't make your own yogurt
I’ve seen Sarah from our tribe of many do that! I’ve never tried it! But it would be great if I could figure it out!
@@TheHappyCaravan Sarah!? You don’t want to follow her recipes.
Take a half gallon of Fairlife milk and pour it into an instant pot. Add a2 teaspoons of plain Greek yogurt for the starter. Whisk in a teaspoon or 2 of vanilla extract. If you want sweetener add half a can of sweetened condensed milk.
Whisk till smooth. Set on yogurt setting. It takes 8 hours but totally hands off.
Delicious homemade yogurt. No need to boil anything.
I love your shop with me. Please continue to film the. How can I donate to you? Venmo?
Why do you waste your money on napkins why don't you use cloth napkins
Why do you ask so many ridiculous questions?
Why is that one kid always wearing rain boots?
He loves those, he got them so he could be a stormtrooper from Star Wars ❤️
Also why are you wasting your money on water
Why do you waste your money on plates
We usually use stainless steel. But for some things we use paper.
Seems not cool to come through with all your kids and eat up all the samples.
Haha yes, I try to not take one so they can have it❤️
When you spend like $300/$500 a week at the store, I think it’s fine to eat up maybe $20 in samples? Who cares.
The free samples are for anyone. But especially for paying customers and their children. What a rude comment.
How to feed a family of twelve? Exploit them on RUclips.
Well now they are associating themselves with the best of the best for exploiting kids The Dougherty Dozen 🙄
