    Give her her props for being very organized and very disciplined when it comes to her eight kids. Specially when it comes to traveling overseas and going through customs and security you don't have time to screw around you have to get things done. Kids were so well behaved on the plane. Tell she was very prepared for the trip. I really enjoy this

    I have to say, I absolutely loved that you had a regroup and debrief after the hectic check in, reflects why your kids are so well behaved and authentic, and I loved your approach to what could be seen as “telling your kids off”. You are clearly mindful of how their behaviours may cause delays to others waiting in he queues, so many life lessons in that executive meeting at the airport pre-departure. You’re an amazing role model, not just for your kids but also for me! Enjoy Korea, it’s amazing! Love from Edinburgh ❤

When she gets up, checks on them and asks what they are watching is true parenting. I know a lot of people don’t consider that a major thing but little things like that add up. I’ve not been a active watcher just passive but I’m impressed each time. Good job 👍

    I've been watching your family for a very long time. I love how you and Joe interact with one another and the children. Your children are all beautiful souls. The different personalities shine through and you let them be who they are or are evolving into, they have their own opinions and they are still very respectful in their expressions.. You're a great mom. Good job to you both.

    The fact that you flew with 8 kids and the ones screaming and crying in the background weren't yours tells me you came prepared!

    I respect how organized of a mom you are even with dealing with all of the kids not to mention when it's time to be firm you are 100% with that, keep it up and hope this trip is an enjoyable 1❤

    I’m catching up on the Korea vlogs and I love this vid so much 🫰🏾Having a big family looks like it has challenges, but Joe and Alena make it look so doable. A 14hr flight with 8 kids is no joke! Also, if Alena says that plane food was good then it was GOOD! And I love that Arazo and Ajedi stepped off the plane and spoke fluent Korean! The look of shock and glee on Alena’s face, knowing those Korean lessons paid off. I can’t wait to watch the rest of the series. So glad you guys got to experience this trip together as a family.

    I flew 16 hours from Dubai to Texas, and i literally wanted to jump off the plane. I was tired and cluster phobic. At some point, I said there needs to be a sky station for planes to park for a referesher, lol. I dont know how you did a 14 hour flight with little kids. Power to you and congrats to the little ones for being good sports. 👍

You guys deserve a medal for pulling things together so flawlessly. Alena got the kids to fall in lock step quick!! What a beautiful family. 😊

    It’s important that some one in the family give orders and have things orderly when traveling especially internationally. Now days the people in the airport don’t play. Alena hats off to you for being the person in your family. It’s so need and important for the children to listen and do things they way instructed to do. I applaud mom for speaking up. Hope you all had fun and we’re safe. ❤God bless.

    This vlog just could not have been better!! Thank you so much for taking us along, recording the entire trip and the reactions to the different experiences. I especially loved that you told the older girls to take their phone off in the airport so they can properly engage with people (and be more aware of their surroundings). Also, flying internationally is such a different experience than domestic flights. I wish more Americans would experience it. Love! Love! Love!

Also you can tell he was really enjoying his food with the banging on the table 😂 it’s like don’t stop give me more. I can’t believe he’s gonna be a year soon smh. All the kids was well behaved after that executive meeting. Alena wasn’t playing and she shouldn’t bcuz the airport is not a play ground.
