I grew up in a family with seven children, six girls and one boy. The family next door had six boys and one girl and their mom was known as the fun mom. All the neighborhood kids loved hanging out at our neighbors house because the mom, Rosalie, welcomed all of us and could make the simplest things entertaining, like setting up games and snacks under their covered patio or garage on rainy days. She had the patience of a saint and used to let me "help" take care of her twin baby boys, I was probably hindering more than helping 😉. I'll never forget those happy childhood memories with Rosalie. I'll also never forget that my mom was more interested in keeping a spotless house than hanging out with us kids. You remind me of Rosalie! ❤
I can't tell you how much I enjoy your channel, your family, your perspectives on life. You have gone down a long rocky road and come back better for it. I am sure there are times when you question yourself, when things aren't so rosy, but girl, you got this! Your garden is growing, your children are thriving, and your home is beautiful and surrounded with love. No one could ask for more. I am curious about Art; is he getting help, finding peace, feeling stronger. I hope so, I wish him the best, and I'm so glad you make it possible for him to see the children. Thank you for brightening my week with your family.
You r so brave. I couldn’t imagine keeping up with 7 kids at home, haven’t even thought about u taking them places. Wow. You did great! They look so happy ❤
Good for you to get the kids out in nature! I know they miss that a lot where you live now. I remember all the times you have taken them in the past in the videos. You’re a wonderful, fun mom. Things like this always stressed me out with my kids, so we didn’t do enough of it. I love how calm and carefree you are!
What an enjoyable day! Fun down at the lake with siblings, and good food! I'm sure your kiddos will sleep good tonight being out in the water playing. Mom even had an opportunity to get some plants 😊 couldn't ask for any thing better.
I just love you & your family, ive been following for yrs ... You inspire me to be a better mom, as a single mom of 6 i can't begin to tell you how much you fill my cup, not just them babies but mine too❤❤❤❤
The daughter that sits between the babies really would benefit from having the car head rest attached, in the event of a crash she would likely sustain pretty serious whiplash without it. I love your blogs and how close you all are, just hoping this tip helps to keep you all safe ❤
As a preschool teacher and grandma of 7, I especially enjoy seeing your twin toddlers thrive. The siblings are doing so well taking care of the Todd's. Inspiring!
I have to say that you are amazingly tough. I was a single mom with one child and that was exhausting. In my case I was working and going to school at the same time, but the thought of 7 children just seems "supermomish".
When my children were younger, all 5, we would venture to the beach. I was lucky to live on the coast in Florida. Also fishing. It is a lot to pack up but great to get out. Your children will grow up and thank you.
Where did you get the lids for those bowls? I want those lids. Thanks for posting your videos. I enjoy them and appreciate how much care and love you give to your garden and to your children.
Bri, I went to my best friend's house for lunch and she served that exact slaw! I'd never had it before. I'm hoping that you have found a home church close to your house now. I remember you going to church before. I am absolutely loving the new channel!
It is so nice that the river seems so clear and safe to swim in. I grew up with a river in my backyard, but we had so many horrible floods that have left it polluted, so we were never allowed to swim in it (I so wished I could). This is great. I'm not much of a cabbage fan at all. . .maybe one day I'll get into it. Great video.
BRI. I would’ve had a bag FULL of those big smooth stones for my flower beds. I have my herb garden in a block stone raised bed - it’s mortared together and the stones hold heat and I’ve already harvested rosemary, oregano and dill 👍. BUT just planting my gardens now. There’s snow still in spots early May and then the ground has to warm … it’s non stop rain for 3 days straight and I have a greenhouse full of seedlings raring to go Red cabbage is my favourite so I’m gonna make your recipe 👍 thanks for sharing THAT 😊. 🙏ing for GODs blessing on you all
What a lovely, exciting day with the children. Perfect snacks. I always worry about snakes and what ifs. How do you let that all go and just have fun? I wasnt that way when I played as a kid, buy after having my kids and grandkids I am worried more of what ifs. You are an inspiration.
Bri may I give you a FEW suggestions to make your summer adventures to the park hiking or to the pool or river. (I am a Grammy now & when our children who are your age was little)always packed at the beginning of summer 2 nylon bags filled with swimming items I take every time. One bag of extra clothes & diapers ext. Each bag has what we need daily (no food). Then those bags hang in the garage on a hook & I label them. Some years a tote worked better with a lid as our family grew. THE CHILDREN KNEW NOT TO TOUCH THIS BAG TO TAKE ANYTHING OUT . They helped pack these at the beginning of summer. Then a few days before we are going I packed the back of our van with that bag. I also year round have a good cooler in my van. Then all I do the night (before bed) ahead is pack the cooler with drinks & snacks . I keep a bag just for the other food items easy accessible to fill & grab this one the night before. Then the older kids knew to help LOAD unload & where to sit the stuff to dry for our next adventure. This will save so much time before each trip. Then I found I forgot less things. GOD BLESS FROM WEST CENTRAL INDIANA FARMLAND
I love them bowls. Where did you get them. The kids are growing so fast. You are a wonderful mom. So proud of you snd all the accomplishments you have achieved so far. Looking forward to many many more videos. Thank you for sharing you family with us. Ps. Coleslaw looks so delicious

Bri.. you should do a cookbook . With all the delicious foods you make, i definitely would buy your cookbook..❤
Yes! Great idea. And maybe have a recipe from the kids too. I think Grace and Joyful like to cook/make things. 🎉
Definitely! Maybe the older kiddos could write the recipes down to help make things a bit easier.
You r so brave. I couldn’t imagine keeping up with 7 kids at home, haven’t even thought about u taking them places. Wow. You did great! They look so happy ❤
I really have to work at having more fun days this summer ❤

I grew up, the oldest of 7. We had 5 girls and 2 boys. We hit the river weekly. It was freezing, we always swam though.
This is so wonderful! Thank you for sharing with us. We love you and your beautiful family. You GOT this Girl! Hugs Bri ❤
Smart move Mom! Balance with fun and work.

lovely spot... It's spring runoff out here, the rivers would wash you away - not to mention freeze your unmentionables!!! hahahha
FUN and learning loads as well
Hello 👋
How are you doing today?
Just ordered the bowls!Thanks a million!!❤
I have to say that you are amazingly tough. I was a single mom with one child and that was exhausting. In my case I was working and going to school at the same time, but the thought of 7 children just seems "supermomish".
Nice bowls
What a lovely day, the river is a wonderful place for families, so much fun for all the kids. Great job Bri!
Yummy! For the slaw I use the slicing option on my food processor. It makes a nice strand of cabbage.
Fun times! 🙏♥️🙏♥️🙏
Blessings dear
you are a awesome mummy xx
Hello Sharon
How are you doing today?
What a fun day. I grew up playing in the creek ..... great memories!
When my children were younger, all 5, we would venture to the beach. I was lucky to live on the coast in Florida. Also fishing. It is a lot to pack up but great to get out. Your children will grow up and thank you.
Love this twist on a slaw! My latino husband will be delighted!
Maybe sliced red onions would be a good addition?
❤️fun fun fun ❤

I highly suggest river shoes. They make the experience more enjoyable.
Such great fun!❤

Oh My GRACIOUS, Bri! Freeze dry some watermelon for snacks. It is THE BEST!
Hello 👋
How are you doing today?
Your salad sounds good. Wonder if Celtic salt would go good in it? Celtic salt has a huge amount of minerals. Has three Magnesiums so it is moist.
❤❤
You said "red onion" when you touched the red cabbage.... 🙂
🙄but we knew
Hi Bri ❤would u share your knife you use for cooking / prepping thank u!
Hay bri hay fam
I just saw your measuring bowls with a rubber like bottom and a lid woukd u send the link and name of them ! Thanks
What river did you go to! We go to the ogeechee river South Georgia

❤👍🏼👍🏼
Hi Bri I’m trying to send you the bench on your wish list but need your full name and address thanks?
Sorry if I missed what you said but what kind of hot sauce did you put in the mexican slaw? Yum!
She shows it at 3:34. It’s called Cholula chipotle hot sauce.
*SIM MELANCIA + REPOLHO--> AS OUTRAS COISAS EU NÃO CONHEÇO🙏👏🏻*
No black pips …. Never seen this before xxx 🍉🍉🍉
We have lots of seedless watermelon varieties in the States!
@@Janlcoyne ….. that’s amazing!!!
We have seedless watermelon in Australia too
