I always shower the first day I get sick. I've done some research on this and its because when we shower, we feel clean and therefore we feel better when we feel clean. I prefer to shower the first day, even when I dont feel good because I do feel worse when I dont feel clean. I want to have clean hair and know that I am clean.
I love the amount of time you spend helping the kids do personal hygiene and teaching them a routine, and Im not just talking about the typical brush teeth and baths. You help them moisturize their skin and keep their hair healthy and some kids have a longer routine for their personal hygiene and you don't just tell them to do it you make sure it gets done. I wish my mother spent the time teaching me about washing my face and lotion and all the extra stuff I had to learn and didn't well into my mid 20s. I am honored to be a subscriber to such a wonderful mom and family! God bless each one of you
@@NAICQ31 bueno imagina alimentar a 10 niños con ensaladas, van a tener hambre todo el tiempo y necesitaran comer mas. La mamá necesitaría estar en la cocina todo el día cocinando comidas saludables. Tampoco comen tan mal, lo importante que comen y tienen comida. XD
Alicia, you are superhuman!! I’d need to sit on the couch for 3 days if I had been sick. My eyes teared up as i watched the joy your older boys had while opening and looking at your play button for 100,000. They are so proud of their mum and their family too! Keep doing the great work!! I am so proud of you too!
I like how real you are as a mother and family, it was nice seeing a "normal" family channel. Like a lovely lived in home, polite children, meals being cooked, reality of mess and chores to be done.
@@saladgirl4269 if you or anyone else is throwing up get a bucket or bowl & line it with bags. So much easier to clean up, there’s only one thing more miserable than throwing up & that’s sitting on the toilet for ‘that end’ with a bucket on a lap…true misery! 💜
As a bi-racial woman, I adore the interaction between the triplets! Even more, I love the fact that you took the time to learn, not only how to take care of, but how to optimize, the twins hair and skin. They are gorgeous! I have a sister, who is also biracial, who birthed multiple bi-racial children but still has no idea how to deal with their hair and it drives me nuts. I hope that as grown men, they understand that the “highly annoying 😜,” but relaxing, hair massage, and brush out, that Mommy gave them was something that was special for them not just Mom being “bug.” Lol. I wonder if Deshawn would enjoy that kind of special treatment? I’ve always found it easy to make girls feel special but hair care might be a lovely, easy, way make the boys feel nurtured.
New here but the twins seems so sweet and compassionate, do they remember their birth families or no? They seem so well adjusted with you guys! So sweet!
I had a stomach bug a few months ago and I was out for a day. I can’t imagine how you were sick and still able to care for everyone else. I am amazed by all you do.
Lol being a vlog about being sick, and I am only a few minutes in, I read "plaque" as "plague". That really changes this comment! (and she thanked you!) but yes, congrats on the plaque and extra congrats on everyone getting over the plague, I mean, stomach bug...
I LOVE your vlogs!!! I really love how “real” your channel is, unlike a lot of other channels. Your family is so special. And I hope you all are feeling better.
The legacy you’ll leave when you cross over will be immense. You’ve touched so many hearts with your children. A true testimony of what the human heart can achieve. God bless!
Thank you for sharing something so private. I really appreciate seeing how you take care of your family and pull yourselves back together. I have to say you guys are all amazing. Our last stomach bug took us out for at least 3 days each.
I've been a silent follower for quite some time now, I adore your vlogs / morning videos and how real and true they are. I wish I had you as my mom, because the way you handle inconveniences, and your family, gives me hope to be a better parent than I've had growing up. Thank you for your hard work and love you put into these kids, it really shows off. Hope you all feel better super fast and a happy late birthday to Zoe (: 💕
Hi Alicia, watching your beautiful family from Cape Town, South Africa. Congratulations on your RUclips plaque. I'm not surprised you got that so quickly, your blogs are interesting, uplifting and encouraging and so many moms are enspired to take the next step when they feel like it's all just too much. I hope you all recover fully from this bug to enjoy Zoey's birthday party. Happy Birthday Zoey, and God bless you all.
Congratulations on the plaque!! Wishing you all a speedy recovery. You deserve a medal for being such a beautiful caring lady. Lots of love from the UK 🇬🇧 ❤️
I love how real you keep everything. How the house can fall apart, when an illness runs through it. What it takes to get back on track again. The laundry alone would of took me down again! Prayer’s that you all stay well! Plus God keeps strengthening you, in all you do. 🙏 ❤️🥰💯
Im so happy for you guys, and you did it in less than 2 months! You are gaining at an raging rate, im so proud of you all! You guys will be at a million by the end of the summer, and i can say i was there from the start!
Happy Birthday to Zoey You are so amazing to do all you do and with everyone catching the bug Bless your heart Have a blessed rest of the weekend Thank you for sharing your wonderful family Congrats on RUclips
I am so touched while MomAlicia spend some individual personal hygiene/talking time with kids❣️ Congrats for the 100 thousand subscribes! I was new subscribers while 90 thousand, if I were not wrong, just took 2weeks to reach 160thousand from 90 which is amazing 🤩
If it’s the stomach flu, you can be contagious for up to 2 weeks. I learned this the hard way when visiting friends who had the stomach flu and we thought they were in the clear since they didn’t have symptoms for a few days before we saw them. Hope it’s not the stomach flu!
Congrats on the RUclips plague. I'm so sorry that the family was sick, all I kept thinking about is wishing I was there to help you. I still have to say that you and your husband are good parents and the kids are such good kids. I love watching you all. ❤️❤❤
Congratulations on the plaque!! We usually have canned peaches, the syrup really helps, ginger ale, crackers, and applesauce to help us during such a terrible time. I hope that you guys feel better. ❤️❤️❤️❤️
You are definitely mom goals. What a wonderful person you are. The love and attention you give each of your kids is truly remarkable and bring tears to my eyes. . But I love that you also take time out for you. I may be late but congrats on your well deserved RUclips plaque. I hope you reach over a million subscribers and that more people can see how amazing you and your family are.
wow keep on keeping on I love watching you guys. I would have thought you had been you tubing forever. you are so relatable and 199k subscribers is amazing
So glad that you're all on the mend. I remember how hard it was with two little ones & how it was easier if they were both sick at the same time. I'm pretty sure I wouldn't have felt that way if I had ten.😲
Your patience is astounding. I'm 32 and can't even deal with 19 year old coworkers without getting frustrated 🙄😤 love your channel, I've been watching for a while but noticed you haven't been uploading (not a complaint you obviously have so much to do) so skipped back a few videos to pass some time. All my love to you, Josh and the kids x
I watched ur Utube practically from beginning, when u never even spoke till the end 😀 n m so happy for y'all how fast it has grown, just shows how likeable y'all r. My daughter recently started a Tiktok n she was talking bout growth n I showed her ur channel n told her to start a Utube along w/ the tiktok.. 🎊Congratulations🎉 on the play button👋👋💕
Your families like mine, share everything, even down to the stomach bug. Gotta love big families. I already always enjoyed watching your morning routines, but after watching this and how you talk to and take such good care of all your babies, I'm now subscribed. Thank you for the very humble videos. And thank your kids for all being so sweet and respectful. They're a joy to watch too. Congratulations on your plaque! Well deserved by your whole family.
I am so glad you started RUclips. I love your raw and straight forward motherhood. I don't have any of the social media forms. As family volgs go, you are one of the best. You show your kids more in a passing way. Then make making them the vlogs. Your channel is real mama life. Congratulations on your 1000K plus RUclips Plaque.
“You have no more will to fight the toddlers” hahaha! Congratulations mama, you’re so amazing pushing through the day even though you are not at your 100% health wise. You show so much patience, what an inspiration. Also just 2 months on RUclips and you’re this big? Way to go✨🤍👏🏼 God bless you and your beautiful family. Prayers for strength and fast recovery. Also HAPPY 10th BIRTHDAY ZOEY 🧁🌸🍄💐
Congrats! Love your channel. I only have two kids and watching you inspires me to be better. My five year old has anxiety, defiant behavior and food aversion. I find myself losing my patience all the time but I really admire the way you talk to your kids. I hope I can learn from you!
Oh gosh yes. I feel you on that. Remember to not take things personally. Our kiddos don’t want to have anxiety and defiance and aversions. They can’t help it. That perspective helps me to stay calm.
Congrats!! Just started watching your channel! You’re such a great mother!! Love your family❤️ I’m just a mother of two and I don’t see how you do it all. Your definitely an inspiration!!❤️❤️❤️
I love this kind of video from you and of course the morning routines are a fav lol you motivate me everyday. I’ve been a more productive mama since finding your channel 🧡
Why is the stomach bug going around my aunts had it and i don’t even know why everyone is having it hope you guys stay safe make sure to yo sanitize everything 💗love from Philadelphia
That first shower after you've been sick, it always feels amazing.
Yessss 😩
Yesss! It's the only kind of shower that beats the 'Just-went-running'-shower.
This comment is underrated 😂😩😩
I always shower the first day I get sick. I've done some research on this and its because when we shower, we feel clean and therefore we feel better when we feel clean. I prefer to shower the first day, even when I dont feel good because I do feel worse when I dont feel clean. I want to have clean hair and know that I am clean.
Yes! Im sick Right now and I’m about to go take one to feel a little better
I love the amount of time you spend helping the kids do personal hygiene and teaching them a routine, and Im not just talking about the typical brush teeth and baths. You help them moisturize their skin and keep their hair healthy and some kids have a longer routine for their personal hygiene and you don't just tell them to do it you make sure it gets done.

Yes they have an open adoption and still see their biological parents and siblings.
@@DoughertyDozen do they ever ask to go back to their biological family?

You are amazing ❤ feel better!
I had a stomach bug a few months ago and I was out for a day. I can’t imagine how you were sick and still able to care for everyone else. I am amazed by all you do.
I love how you take the time with the twins to acknowledge they have different needs for hair and skin care. Kudos to you all!
