Love that you didn't edit out the crying . It's real life. It gave us a sense of normalcy. I loved this video!!!
Thank you so much!!
What I loved about this video was how real it was. Baby feeling unsettled, enthusiastic helper , dad trying to distract baby, you keeping your cool. . And it worked . Well done. You’ll thank yourself in the future when you are eating the meals
Great job Everett helping mom with the freezer meals.
Mark you're such a great helper. Lauren everything looks good.
Violet is getting so big and she's adorable 🥰.
You are such a great mom! And Mark is such a great dad! Growing up myself, my home life was nothing like the home you have created for your children. It is wonderful to watch your parenting.
Fold up a crockpot liner bag and put it into a snack size zip bag. Then tape that bag to the back side of your freezer meal. You'll never forget again!
For recipes that call to add items later in the cooking process, you can bag those items (like grated cheese or cornstarch or whatever) to a small bag then put main bag and any extra bags all together in a 1 or 2 gallon bag. That way you have everything together and don’t accidentally use up an item you need to add to the end of a recipe. Hope that makes sense.
Great idea!
This is a fantastic tip! Thank you!
Violet is getting big,she is so precious.❤
Your entire family is an inspiration.
Hi! Thank you so much 😊
I think all cans should have pull tops!
That would be so helpful!
Everett is such a helpful and clever boy. Tell him he did such a good job helping you.
I will!
Enjoyed the video 😊
Thank you so much for watching!
Good Morning, you are so patient with your kids and I love that you are teaching your young men to be ready for the world! Love seeing Violet and of course Miss Luna!
Prayers continue for you and your family❤❤
Thank you so much for the prayers.
Love when the boys are ready to help in the kitchen!
Great idea doing lots of meal prep and planning. You have a busy schedule with 4 active boys and a newborn still trying to settle. I have to admit that I think in your situation I’d be buying a lot of convenience meals at the supermarket for the next few months and get some home cleaning done every week. Lauren you have been through a lot physically and mentally lately so take care of yourself. ❤
Thank you so much for looking out for me! We’re finding our new rhythm. One day at a time!
Unfortunately, convenience meals probably won't help her feel better physically but I would definitely consider having a mother's helper for a season of healing.
May I just say.... unbelievable! You are so organized and the prepped meals are fantastic. Thank you for showing us everything. Your son helping was amazing, you have a lot of patience. Violet is a beautiful baby girl. So glad that your husband jumps in to help you! You are a truly fantastic mother and so pretty as well. Sincerely, Debbie and Dexter-Dog 🐕🐾 my sweet tiny rescued Chihuahua 🐕 companion living 🏠 a quiet crafty life 🏠🌵 in southern California. 🙋🐾🐕🏠🏖️🙏🙏🧑🦽😎🌄☀️🌅🥰
Once again a wonderful video!!! Tip for the slow cooker bags. Put one into the slow cooker after it's cleaned and then put away. It's ready for the next time you use it. Then it will start to become a habit.
This was amazing. I ALWAYS am inspired to do this for my family - and i think today is the day. Nothing but love and prayers for you always. Let's get our girl her 100K silver plaque everyone - spread the word. Everett is the best helper!! And Miss Violet... i mean the Hamms are just... love love love! 💜💜💜
Lauren, I giggled through most of this video, cuz I love the way you gauge your measurements!!! So my kind of cooking!
So great to see Everett helping you and you are so patient with him. Violet is so beautiful and growing so much. Those recipes sound delicious. Blessings to you all! You look beautiful Lauren!
We have been eagerly awaiting this video ever since you did the Costco shop in preparation. Seeing your assistant sweet Everett helping out was an added bonus 😊 Thanks for sharing.
I got so excited when I saw this had been uploaded 😂
I’m so glad to have another 24 packed in the freezer! Everett was very excited to help, he did great.
It is good to see you doing videos again. I love your family Lauren!
I enjoyed watching this video..I love how life was just happening and you guys just work around it. Love this family
It’s amazing how one can multitask to do What you do on a daily basis you are such amazing Parents y’all are and Thank you for sharing some delicious meal prep ❤❤❤
Great idea to already have a meal in the crockpot on the day of prepping more meals. That might be something someone would overlook.
Great job with all the freezer meals. Your family is so sweet and helpful. Baby Violet is so precious. Mark is such a great dad and helps you alot. I love your videos.
Now ,this is the kind of practical video i love to watch.It`s also real life!! Thankyou for sharing ,i know all your hard work will be well rewarded on those busy nights when you`re pushed to even think what to have!!
So nice of you! They save me on busy days.
Our fridge indoors just went kaput, a new one arriving tomorrow. After cleaning out years worth of pickles & olives today, I’m ready for a new start! What was left was from when we had 4 adults in the house during covid, but now there are just us two. We just cannot get through a whole jar of pickles. It’s a whole new world.
Remembering my grandma saying she always felt sorry for old folks who ate cereal for dinner, then she found herself eating cereal for dinner… Ahh, time marches on.
All that said, I still love making large recipes and freezing leftovers for when we’re too tired or busy to cook a good meal. I love chili, lentil soup, etc. Will def look up the link.
All the ❤️ to you and yours, esp sweet Miss Violet. What a doll she is. So soon she’ll be trying to keep up with her brothers! Little sisters always have an edge over everyone else 😉
Always nice to have a fresh start but sorry the fridge died!
Buyin
Maybe repurpose those pickles into pickle relish then share with friends, family, neighbors.
@@kathleenzeigler8285 good idea!
You should make pickle soup. I’ve heard a lot of people love it. Pickles aren’t my favorite thing but, this might be right up your alley.
Violet getting used to outdoor action with the boys!
She loves being outside!
Violet seems to be growing so fast.
I do this with lots of recipes from Pinterest. It's great to have the meals made ahead.
Like everyone else said this was a great video loved it!!!! Family time, cooking and helping each other out.
These meals look like a great idea! 😊
They are! They have saved my sanity.
I don’t know if this will help with future mass cook ups but I process garlic, cilantro, parsley, chilli’s on a food processor and freeze them onto individual little blocks using an ice cube tray and just pop the amount needed for a recipe straight into pot or freezer meal bags. Save me a lot of time.
This is one of my favourite videos from you - thank you ❤
Thanks for the ideas
True team effort! watching Marc get prepped for walk 🚶♂️ loved it! Hope all the meals are delish!! 🎉 continued blessings for all! ❤
Good morning and happy Tuesday hope is well 🙏🏼great video and thanks for sharing ❤
Thank you! You too!
Mark is such a great husband! So patient and helpful too. I loved watching him do the Costco Shopping! Very Blessed Family!💜 Sweet Violet is absolutely precious!💞
He’s amazing!
@@ThisAlaskaLife yes he is! My husband enjoyed him when we watched a couple of your trips and Mark explained different things. We’ve been married 51yrs and he’s always wanted to visit Alaska. We’ve never been able to take a vacation our whole marriage due to he worked so many hours and never was allowed to take 2 weeks off at a time. Same job for 53yrs and raising kids it just never worked out.
Yay I've been waiting for this! ❣️ Good morning hope you have a fantastic day!!
Hope you enjoyed it! Have a wonderful day
It is nice that you have that big island to do your prep work. What a great job to do all those dinners. Violet was really a good girl as you prepared the meals. When Violet got fussy Mike was able to take the kids for a walk. Great job Mark. Great job Everett helping mom. Have a wonderful evening. God Bless.
Everett is so cute and a good helper and Violet is so cute such a cute little squeaker. Love it, I had a squeaker, brings back memories.🥰
Thank you so much Lauren and Mark for being such a blessing to so many with sharing your precious family with us!!!
Baby Violet is such a pretty baby. Her coos are so adorble ❤❤❤❤❤
I put the box of crock bags in the crock when I am not using it. That way, when I take the crock pot out, the bags are there to use. Love your family!
That's a great idea!
That’s where I keep my liners too!
I don't do meal planning i simply don't have the space but i still loved watching this volg your a super mum getting so much prepared with a newborn. I hope you got to relax after all that prepping.
Violet is so so adorable love see her in the volgs as well as your other beautiful children 💜
Meal prep with kido learning so much (he is so cool!) and a newborn, you are AMAZING!!!❤
You did awesome brilliant idea. Was so nice seeing you with miss Violet and Everett. Love and blessings to you all xx
Showing all that goes on makes it very real. Well done!
So envious of you making all those meals. I have upper back pain so I can't do much at one time. Violet is such a beautiful baby. Glad you had some help as well. Xx
A big well done Lauren and Mark plus’s boys ❤❤❤
I think baby just really wants her mommy. ❤ I'm so happy for you and your family to have such a precious little girl❤

Thank you so much for watching! Grateful to have you here cheering us on
Just a tip on tomatoe basil soup, I grow basil year around, I put it in a food processer with the olive oil and freeze in ice cube trays. As for cream I don't use it instead I use evaporated milk or powdered cream. We travel a lot and live in a RV, not much storage space.
Thanks for sharing! Those are excellent tips.
Hi Lauren, Mark and boys and baby Violet and Inspector Luna. Lovely to see Everett helping Mum. Baby Violet so beautiful. Great video again love and virtual hugs. Carol and Gary Liam xx❤🎉
Thank you so much! Glad you enjoyed it. We’re grateful you’re here
Glad to see Miss Violet getting so big and the boys love her I see I'm so happy for your family many blessings for your family

Great idea doing meal prep she is so precious y'all are very lucky
Omg miss violet is so cute 😍
We love her so much!
Loved this !!
Thank you so much for being here!
I loved Everett helping you make the freezer meals he got to spend time with MOM . Violet gets prettier every time I see her . Prayers and Love 💕 From Oklahoma
Violet is adorable
Beautiful mama and baby!! Love you guys!
I store my box of crockpot bags in the crockpot so I will remember to use them.
I love it when you cook all the wonderful meals. You are amazing.
Oh thank you!
You’re the most patient mother that I know so calm great job mom
Great job mama how special you are and your family ❤❤❤
My mom used to freeze cream in the carton. When thawed, it's fine and ready to whip or use in recipes. Or you can also whip it fresh, add vanilla and sugar (or keep plain for savory dishes) and dollop on a baking tray to flash freeze. When frozen solid store in a bag in the freezer. Pull out desired amount for pie when needed and thaw or put directly on a piece of warm pie.
That's a great idea! Thank you so much for sharing
Everett is such a cutie, and a big helper with the meal prep! This was a lot of work, but will make things much easier down the road. Great job and teamwork, Lauren and Mark! Baby Violet is so precious and growing fast! Sending big 🐻 hugs to the family from GA!💜🪻
You know the packing slips come in a plastic holder. Its about 8x5. You need to get some of those to put your recipe on baggies. The paper will not get wet.
Great video Lauren, Violet is so cute. Thanks for sharing.
I enjoyed watching this so much! Easy to do for any family🥰plus it’s always nice to see Miss Luna and Miss Violet too❤️
Another great video !! It takes a lot of effort to get things prepared but you guys will definately benefit from it later. So cool that you could dress Miss Violet into the same teddy bear outfit that Hunter even worn. I love stuff like that !! I hope she felt better after the walk outside. It's so good to see her home where she belongs ❤
You guys are a true example of how a family pulls together God Bless yaw ps my grand daughter wants to see the the sample king luv yaw
I think after reading through the some of the comments, what we like most about Lauren is she’s real. This was so fun to watch her toss cans and fill her ziplocks with pizzazz . Lol she doesn’t have time to be chef Gordon. She’s a mom of five and busy. Lol.
Absolutely, Lauren keeps it real 👍
Meal recipeces look lovely and Violet is beautiful❤
That meat slicer was handy!! Awesome!!
Yes it was!
Pacing with the new schedule of life is challenging and it requires new routine. Violet is growing fast and knows very well demand what she needs most. It's really a new season, season for blooming and let Love healing all!! Everett is such a gentle, smart and good fellow. Great companion!!! Blessings all around you right now!! 😊🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Good morning have a wonderful day
You too!
Just watching you gives me strength. You are just a sweet person. And you have a big heart. Thanks for everything. Your so strong.
Good morning. I am organizing my shopping list and shopping today for the week ahead. I love these freezer meals they are so handy to have.
Yes, they are very handy! Happy shopping
Again, I am pooped just watching you prepare all these meals, that was a lot of work! Its nice to know it is is helpful to you when you really need it!!
Violet & Everett, so awesome to see them and I can see they have been growing & growing!!!
You are such a wonderful Wife & Mother, your family is definitely blessed!!!
👍👍
Everett is hilarious, love the banana 🍌 holder! 😂
He always keeps us laughing
You are doing so great! Taking care of 4 very active boys and a precious newborn, and still getting other things done is incredible . You amaze me. And, Mark is a wonderful partner at helping out with Violet and he has always been great with the boys. Y’all are great parents, even when it’s extra tough and exhausting. ❤
The fresh basil can be blended and frozen in an ice tray, once frozen put cubes in a ziplock bag and then it’s ready to add to recipes .
Thank you so much for the tip, that is a perfect idea!
Store the freezer bags in the crockpot. That’s what I did to not forget to use them.
Actually meant store crock pot liners in crockpot….not freezer bags.
You need some full page labels to print the instructions on. Then you can just peel and stick them to the bag and avoid the tape. You also need a measuring spoon that adjusts to the size you need. To make it easy, for the Italian soup, I’d buy the premade Italian meatballs and cut them in either half or quarters.
Great ideas
Loved your video. Baby Violet snuggled with mom is precious. Everett is a blast! So glad you're learning easier techniques, those meals are a great way to get ahead of the game. Love to all and God bless. Have a wonderful day. 💜 from AR.😊
Thanks so much!
