    I love that you don't go crazy with the organic/ healthy and let them have Reeses Puffs, etc. So balanced. It will keep them from going crazy over stuff they never had when they are older. Wise.

    I am 10:49 in. First I have to say that you and your husband have done wonderful job with your children. The older kids are very responsible and seem to understand what their roles are. Every one of your kids are all well behaved out in public. First time viewer but one thought that came to mind is if you share your parenting methods.
    Also,
    How often do you go to Costco? I have a family of four and we go every weekend.

    Be watchful of the Gerber and Beechnut, the ingredients are not the cleanest, also often added sugar. Earth Best, or Ellas Kitchen are favoured mine. Also making your own food is best, just whacking fresh stuff in the processor. Mind you having said that, fed is best!!! 😉

    Hi sweet Amber another grocery haul for this crue of thirteen Aww Amber you need to gargle with just cool salt 🧂water and take a teaspoon of honey for you throat. It will help. If your throat is really sore gargle with once of listerine for 3- 5 seconds or as long as you can tolerate it it will burn a little do to the alcohol but it will help. I do this when I'm sick in 2 day my sore throat is gone. Try it It will help. HOPE YOU FEEL better soon Amber.

    Melody's muffins?
    There were several.
    Did she buy them?..I guess she did or this is wierd.
    Can someone explain this to me?
    Why do the children buy food with their spending money muffins?? This makes no sense

      It is possible that she is the one who wanted/requested them-so “Melody’s muffins”-not meaning that they are JUST for her!

      @@KathyGendron-dr1rjsometimes the kids are allowed to pick out something they want. Or a kid will ask for something and it is purchased. I don’t assume they make the kids pay them back?

      Even if she bought it.. it’s really wise to give kids money and if they want to buy muffins or other things, it’s a great lesson to learn the value of money and what you can get for it.. and so sweet if they share. I don’t see why it’s bad.
