How sweet is Everett when he said that it was ok if he didn't win the can food drive because he thought it would be nice if another kid was able to win this year 💗
The meals look delicious, it will be very helpful for when baby arrives; Note Everett touched the raw meat, didn’t wash hands then retrieved a onion be careful to wash hands after handling raw meat!!!
Also I love how all your boys know how to cook stuff because you teach them on a regular basis. In the future their families they eventually will have will love this!
Everett is so sweet… and funny wanting to know how ground meat comes out of the ground.😊 I got so tickled by that. It takes me back to when my children were that age.❤ Such a good little helper too. You’re one blessed mama. you have such a great family and you’re such a good mama. You’re in my prayers.
Little Miss Hamm seems like she's doing well and growing nicely safely inside her mom. I pray nightly for a happy, healthy baby girl. Love to all The Hamms.
With four kids of my own, I've been doing this for years... now I'm using reusable storage bags. When my children were younger, I made a meal plan for the ENTIRE MONTH and we stuck to it 90%! I would have made an excellent quartermaster in the military!! Great job Lauren!
Great job on your first time doing freezer meals. I’m sure you were exhausted but I know you will love having dinner ready to cook! One of the things I notice with you is that you are teaching your boys how to prep, cook and clean up! This skill gets overlooked regarding boys needing to learn these skills so I know as they grow older they will know how to take care of themselves. And if they get married their wife will be so grateful to Mark and you! As already mentioned I love hearing your conversations with the kids. So glad you have the cute interactions on video. 💜
Oh my your boys are so hilarious. Also super helpful truly. Your patience, my grandma would have said, will be rewarded in heaven. BUT, your patience is actually rewarded every day. Best mom ever. I hope, believe, you know that. These days pass so fast, don’t waste a drop. Gonna add to the choir, it’s all gone too soon. So happy you’re loving & enjoying your beautiful children as they are.Thx for sharing!
I love how you get the kids involved in the process and how willing they are to help. Mark, of course, is a big help doing the heavy lifting. Watching you motivates me to try new recipes and tricks. I enjoy how “real” and down to earth you are. Everett is adorable.
The recipes all sounded great and you had wonderful helpers. I've learned making meals that the texture of the ground meat in the freezer recipes is better if you precook it all first, Otherwise it will cook up in one large chunk. It is also easier to drain any excessive grease. Thank you for a great video. I will watch more of your videos.
I came across your chanel by accident after looking for meal prep ideas and I LOVE IT. I'm sorry to hear about your loss. You are so likeable and obviously a strong woman. You've got a new subscriber, love from Scotland. x
Not sure how I found your channel but I did and I find your content inspiring, humble, and informative. Thank you for sharing these recipes and the website you found to help meal plan. I think I’m going to purchase it also. My elderly mother lives 2 hours away but she’s all but quit cooking for herself and has lost a considerable amount of weight. I want to prepare some meals that she can easily heat up or put in a crock pot and see if it helps her with meals. Hopefully taking the prep work out of it will get her back on track. I did purchase the baggie holders today from your link. But, thank you for taking the time creating this video, and doing so while pregnant. Bless you. ❤
When that bag started to Slip, me da started shouting Lauren the bag. Lol Just remember you are an amazing woman. Cry when you need to, don't ever bottle it up. Luna shouted very loudly bless, maybe she smelt the chicken xx ❤🎉
You can take empty food cans, clean out. Take your plastic bags and can to size. Put bag in can fold the top, zipper part, over the can. Fill close. You can freeze the whole thing or take the bag out
What an accomplishment to get these meals made in one day!! I admire how you are handling everything with a strong, brave attitude. Your family offers such wonderful support ... and there are so many prayers being offered for all of you!
I think this is the best video you’ve ever done I know it was really hard for you to do that. I was sitting there watching you make meals and i was laughing not at you but with you because I know how it feels because you have take care of family, and sometimes it just sucks but you hold your head up high and you did it. Thanks for sharing your video with me. I absolutely loved it. And I’m praying for your family and you
A lot of work, but will be well worth it when you need quick meal's, already prepped. Everett, is such a sweetheart, helping his Mama. Such a Great and Cute Video. Thank you, Mama and Everett. Love to you all!!! 🥰🙏🥰🙏🥰
I love watching people make freezer meals whether it be for the Insta pot or the slow cooker. It’s great also seeing the boys help you. You’re the best family and you are an amazing mom. Sending love and prayers to your whole family. I love this and looking forward to seeing more. as well as shopping hauls, updates, Christmas cards, Christmas shopping, anything that you feel like doing I would love to watch. You make this all so relatable.
“Alaska freezer” dropped a few latitude degrees this week. Organizing my freezers I used your technique! So happy for your future self. You will be converted to some freezer meals for the next year or two. Sanity, energy and time for you and family. Grand effort and accomplishment. Love and encouraging thoughts often. 🥰🤗
Great job of planning and prepping! That’s a ton of work, but now you’ve got meals for 24 nights that take very little prep and clean up! I hope you like all of the meals!! 🙏❤️
Get a bunch of parsnips and cuts of pumpkin, coat them in oil and roast them with some garlic. Make sure you roast them till theyve got some good colour & you will have 2 of the best caramalised veges to be had yummmm❤
I am exhausted just watching you prep all these meals! So sweet that Everett was so happy to help you, and that Bennett pitched in also! Warm regards from 🇨🇦Calgary, Alberta🇨🇦
Lauren you are amazing! I cannot even imagine making THAT many freezer meals let alone doing so while pregnant and then having four boys under foot for some of it. Everett is an amazing helper and so is Bennett. All the boys are and it is a testament to you and Mark that they love to pitch in. I am so sorry that you had that bad morning and my prayers are always with you. Is the sweatshirt you wore at the end the one you bought at costco? Either way.. that is a gorgeous color on you. Thanks for sharing the meals - thanks for continuing to bring us along for the ride. My whole family wishes you well and loves every video. God bless you all! Awesome job Lauren!!
Thank you for letting us tag along while you put your meals together.. They all look like they’ll be very good.. And thank you for the link for the bag holders! I went ahead and ordered a set! lol May God surround you and your family in the warmth of his Love and Comfort.. God Bless❤
Wow Lauren !! That meal prep was amazing, you really put in the work there. And as you said, great for a later moment when you want an easy meal. Good that you slept really well that night which is always a good thing. Take care !! ❤
Great job at doing your meals in batches… it all worked out so good ! Loved seeing Everett jump in and did a good job . Can’t wait to see how they cook up as they will be so handy ! Lauren .. You and Mark have done a great job with the boys knowing how to cook and help in the kitchen !! Great job !!!
Great video, especially with your youngest boy “helping”. He is learning great skills and you are a wonderful multi tasking mother! Take care of you and prayers for you and your baby girl.
You did an awesome job. The boys seemed excited and will probably be excited to help decide the “meal of the day”! It was a lot of work but so worth it. I can’t wait for the reviews.
Everett is such a good little helper….. this was a lot of work….but worth it to just pull out the freezer when needed…and away you go. Great Job Lauren & Everett. ❤️
Excellent recipes for anyone in your family to just take, cook and make life easier for you. Those storage clip holders will also come in handy when you prepare your (hopefully) bumper crop of raspberries, huckleberries, and blueberries.
I’ve never seen these stands with clips before now.Great for filling up bags for freezer and then ready to cook.Buying ready meals are usually to much salt etc.At least we know what’s in the bags.l use slo cooker a lot and we’ve also got Ninja it’s amazing hubby does most of cooking.y
If you’re missing a spice or seasoning you could write how much you need to add onto the “label” on the bag and then add it when you make it and have restocked them.
You did just fine making 24 freezer meals . Take care of yourself get some rest .After loss you've been through you will still cry at times that is normal. I lost my husband of 51 years almost 2 years ago I'm just getting to the point where I can talk about him without crying give yourself time to grieve.
Just came across your channel yesterday and have ‘binge watched’ every since. I love your family and your witness. Have been praying for all of you as you navigate the grieving process of your precious daughter. Hold tightly to the faith…the good lLord has never let us down yet and He won’t start now. God bless you and yours. Miss Linda💜🙏🏻💜
Wow Lauren, that was alot of prepping! Glad Everett helped you! Hope they all turn out for you! I just might try out a few of those recipes! Take care of yourself!
What a great idea. Excited see how everything tastes. I think this is going to help so much. My Mom said half her struggle each day was figuring out what was for dinner. Big hugs and happy eating. Your going to make your Boys happy
How sweet is Everett when he said that it was ok if he didn't win the can food drive because he thought it would be nice if another kid was able to win this year 💗
Yes, that was so sweet. ❤
The meals look delicious, it will be very helpful for when baby arrives; Note Everett touched the raw meat, didn’t wash hands then retrieved a onion be careful to wash hands after handling raw meat!!!
Was anyone else going, "Lauren, LAUREN!" when that bag almost tipped lol.
I literally reached out for the bag to catch it! 😂😂😂
Yes, me!! 😂
I also did, trying to catch the bag.
Oh yes I was holding my breath😮
Yeppers
Also I love how all your boys know how to cook stuff because you teach them on a regular basis. In the future their families they eventually will have will love this!
I have 3 boys ( in their 40’s) who are great cooks. Much better than their mama.
By teaching the boys while they are young helps them not to becuseless when they grow, My children including 3cboys were all taught how to cook,
Everett is so sweet… and funny wanting to know how ground meat comes out of the ground.😊 I got so tickled by that. It takes me back to when my children were that age.❤ Such a good little helper too. You’re one blessed mama. you have such a great family and you’re such a good mama. You’re in my prayers.
You are a strong woman who is going through so much but handling it all with a great attitude. Love your family.
Little Miss Hamm seems like she's doing well and growing nicely safely inside her mom. I pray nightly for a happy, healthy baby girl. Love to all The Hamms.
At the end I really felt your exhaustion. I admired the way you utilize your children to help you. You are a great mom.
I love how the whole family works together. Your kiddos are a treasure.❤❤❤❤
With four kids of my own, I've been doing this for years... now I'm using reusable storage bags. When my children were younger, I made a meal plan for the ENTIRE MONTH and we stuck to it 90%! I would have made an excellent quartermaster in the military!! Great job Lauren!
We saw it before she did , my heart sank!
That was wonderful I enjoyed watching you so much we need an update on baby girl thanks

Bless you, you are such a sweet mother. ❤ Those boys are going to be good men. Thank you for raising such sweet men.
Lauren what a great idea. Love how the boys helped out. Mark thank you, so much for all you, do for your family.
I love how you get the kids involved in the process and how willing they are to help. Mark, of course, is a big help doing the heavy lifting. Watching you motivates me to try new recipes and tricks. I enjoy how “real” and down to earth you are. Everett is adorable.
I'm a retired grandma raising my Teo grandkids. I try to do crock pot meals but never know what to fix. This gives me a lot to work with. THANK YOU
You are a very lucky momma to have boys that help you.
Glad you are doing good😊I Been praying for you and your family😊

I didn't know whole potatoes could be frozen. Referring to the ham and potatoe soup. I hope that works out ok.
Everett is such a great little helper 😊
When that bag started to Slip, me da started shouting Lauren the bag. Lol Just remember you are an amazing woman. Cry when you need to, don't ever bottle it up. Luna shouted very loudly bless, maybe she smelt the chicken xx ❤🎉
lol - me 2 shouting at the screen!
Lauren, you are truly Super Mom/Super Lady!!!!
Lauren you are such a good teacher to your sons. Bet they will become awesome men.
The ground beef convo was too cute!
I agree! I was telling Mark how I had to keep it in . I knew not everyone would catch it but it was so cute. How does beef come from the ground???
It was gorgeous, made me giggle
Lauren your Husband and Boys and your Daughter has the Greatest Mommy. Thinking so far in advance!! WoW❤❤
You can take empty food cans, clean out. Take your plastic bags and can to size. Put bag in can fold the top, zipper part, over the can. Fill close. You can freeze the whole thing or take the bag out
I think there's meatballs you can buy that are frozen that you buy too saves making them from scratch
I love that your child loves helping you!!!!
Always remember you’re an inspiration to many people all across the world, I admire you ❤
Slow cooker meals are the BOMB!
What an accomplishment to get these meals made in one day!! I admire how you are handling everything with a strong, brave attitude. Your family offers such wonderful support ... and there are so many prayers being offered for all of you!
It’s great for kids to help and learn but all that help sure takes longer❤️
She is taking the time now to have her children become great partners and husbands. Part of being a good mom is patience and teaching.
I think this is the best video you’ve ever done I know it was really hard for you to do that. I was sitting there watching you make meals and i was laughing not at you but with you because I know how it feels
because you have take care of family, and sometimes it just sucks but you hold your head up high and you did it. Thanks for sharing your video with me. I absolutely loved it. And I’m praying for your family and you
So nice that the boys are helping! I always remember cooking with my mom. Everett is adorable and so much energy!
A lot of work, but will be well worth it when you need quick meal's, already prepped. Everett, is such a sweetheart, helping his Mama. Such a Great and Cute Video. Thank you, Mama and Everett. Love to you all!!! 🥰🙏🥰🙏🥰
I have also been thinking of freezer meals. Thanks for getting me started.

“Alaska freezer” dropped a few latitude degrees this week. Organizing my freezers I used your technique! So happy for your future self. You will be converted to some freezer meals for the next year or two. Sanity, energy and time for you and family. Grand effort and accomplishment. Love and encouraging thoughts often. 🥰🤗
Great job of planning and prepping! That’s a ton of work, but now you’ve got meals for 24 nights that take very little prep and clean up! I hope you like all of the meals!! 🙏❤️
So glad to see Everett helping mama. He has grown up do much but I miss the sample king. Bless your beautiful family.
I love all your videos. But today out of all this one was your best and my favorite video ever.
Get a bunch of parsnips and cuts of pumpkin, coat them in oil and roast them with some garlic. Make sure you roast them till theyve got some good colour & you will have 2 of the best caramalised veges to be had yummmm❤
I need to start doing this ahead of time I work and take care of my 80yr dad .
I am exhausted just watching you prep all these meals! So sweet that Everett was so happy to help you, and that Bennett pitched in also! Warm regards from 🇨🇦Calgary, Alberta🇨🇦
I really enjoyed watching your freezer meal cooking. How convenient to have those as your due date approaches. Good day.
Looks delicious, Lauren. They make liners for the crock pot. Be sure to use them. So much easier cleanup!
Hello nice for you and the family easy for especially you and the baby.hi Luna take care all.❤😊🎄🎄🙏🙏❤

Hi Lauren. I’ve lost 3 pregnancies so I know how you feel. It is a grieving process. Love watching you food prepping. Great fun. ❤hi Luna and boys
Great video, especially with your youngest boy “helping”. He is learning great skills and you are a wonderful multi tasking mother! Take care of you and prayers for you and your baby girl.
He is the cutest helper!
Your boys our really big helpers I love your family.Bless you all
Fantastic project to have done! Great job Lauren and I love to see the boys helping - you are a great mom!
Looking good Lauren!
You did an awesome job. The boys seemed excited and will probably be excited to help decide the “meal of the day”! It was a lot of work but so worth it. I can’t wait for the reviews.
Hi over to watch this video. You put the spices in the bag that makes homemade ranch. Going to have to try some of these
Great idea for your family. Hoping it lightens your load and makes your family happy at dinner time. Stay well sweet lady. Praying for you.
Doing well thank you for asking
Everett is such a good little helper….. this was a lot of work….but worth it to just pull out the freezer when needed…and away you go. Great Job Lauren & Everett. ❤️
Excellent recipes for anyone in your family to just take, cook and make life easier for you. Those storage clip holders will also come in handy when you prepare your (hopefully) bumper crop of raspberries, huckleberries, and blueberries.

Lmao i appreciated the dance break 😊
I screamed when the bag tipped over 😂.
I always use frozen chopped onions so much easier!!!
I would take a highlighter and highlighted what needed added in later or things that you needed later.
Great job, Lauren and family. I wish I had the freezer space to do this.❤
I am glad you are making meals.that will make it little more easier on you😊
If you’re missing a spice or seasoning you could write how much you need to add onto the “label” on the bag and then add it when you make it and have restocked them.
The fruits of the Spirt are: love, joy, peace, forbearance, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control. You have them all!
You did an amazing job making all those meals. Yay, Lauren!
I have been using chopped onions, peppers for a few years now and it's a game changer
I’m anxious to hear meals that’d I’d repeat or how u wld chg them fy family. Most esp how the beef goes over & how it sits on tummies
Take care!!😊
You can also get bags of frozen meatballs. They’re not top tier, but could save a few thousand steps.
You did just fine making 24 freezer meals . Take care of yourself get some rest .After loss you've been through you will still cry at times that is normal. I lost my husband of 51 years almost 2 years ago I'm just getting to the point where I can talk about him without crying give yourself time to grieve.
I can’t wait to hear what you think of all the meals. I know you will be glad you have all these meals. 😊
Everett.so sweet entertaining us.
Everet is so funny he is really helpful
You did a great job with Everett help great meals❤😊🙏🙏🎄🎄

Thank you for sharing. Your cat Loves you so much ❤😊
Oh wow. This is such a great idea.
If these recipes can be adjusted for Australian groceries (makes & sizes) ... I'd LOOOOVE to try that.
great video, thanks for sharing, I get in a slump everyday what to cook, this will help me a lot.
You are a great mom and a strong woman.
Brilliant way to prep for family meals.
Great video and great idea Lauren. Hope you and the family enjoy the meals. Peace ☮️ and Blessings 🙏🏽 from Flint, Michigan
You were amazing!! You're going to be so grateful later!! What a great idea!!!❤
Great effort hope you can rest tomorrow. You will appreciate all this preparation especially after the baby arrives. 😊
You are making me very hungry and inspiring me to do meals like this!!
Wow Lauren, that was alot of prepping! Glad Everett helped you! Hope they all turn out for you! I just might try out a few of those recipes! Take care of yourself!
Continued prayers
I love when Everett helps you and all your boys. They are so helpful and sweet❤
