Daily life in NYC for a Family of 13 ❤️ Winter in the City ❄️ Church & Starbucks ☕️

[@melissaw6446]

I think that Noah is a really chill kid. I like that about him. And then there is Melody. Every time she opens her mouth, it is so sweet. I'm learning all of the personalities, I think...

[@dolivier]

Is it me , or is Netta is Melody’s little twin ❤ ! I love how you all go to church ⛪️ and then do something fun ❤😊 Diane from Rhode Island

[@TheHappyCaravan]

Yes! She does look a lot like Melody!

[@fzfamilyhomestead]

I have thought the same. So cute.

[@jenniferferreira9061]

@dolivier hello from Massachusetts.

[@CarolBChipotle17]

Ive tried your recipe Amber. I like to let the kale soften a bit more. I feel healthy when eating kale! Have a great day! It’s warm here in San Diego!!❤

[@caroldenisefrans9445]

Love how you & Mark take the family for after church snacks on Sundays! Such a loving family ❤

[@hmeerdink9606]

Enoch is so sweet. He seems easy to please.🙂

Neta is growing so fast and she looks just like the rest of her beautiful sisters. Precious little baby!!

[@BarbaraCullum]

Hi Amber I just Love your family. I can't even attempt to pick a favorite, all soo precious. Enoch is so soft spoken and polite. Little Neta's all snuggled up and adorable! Mo has a little mind of his own, absolutely too cute! I enjoy watching your videos, each one of them. It warms my heart to know you care enough to share with us all. Thanks so much. Have a wonderful day and God Bless.🙏❤

How nice to get a treat after church, the soup looked delicious! You are looking well my dear friend!!

[@helenpiispanen8702]

The streets of New York City is baby Netta's white noise😊 She sleeps so well when you are out and about with her, such a good baby. Netta & Melody look so alike. You are truely blessed as you have a very wonderful, beautiful and extremely grateful family💜 Hugs from Australia 🌏🦘 xx

Good to see your church video again! It’s been awhile. Always fun to watch . Noah is smart for his age to describe coffee like that . The fact that the older kids know how to cook now will help them with life skills later in life!

I meant Enoch . I got confused.

[@Rondewie]

Neta is growing so fast!! Mo blowing kisses was so sweet! Your family is so fun to watch! ❤ Hooray it's grocery shopping day! 😂

[@gillianarmstrong955]

It’s really interesting hearing the comments about the different flavours they like and why. Some people clearly love the aftertaste of dark chocolate because of its bitterness. Some people, like myself can’t stand eating or drinking dark bitter chocolate for the same reason as other people like it. I prefer sweater tasting foods, not too sweet though. It sounds like you have a mixture of taste preferences in your family.

[@Nada-qn6eu]

When you all are out and about ,I love to watch and see whose hand Melanie is holding, I am sorry I don't know if it is Melody or Melanie,Enoch is so busy and precious, all of your children are precious, does Melody still like to snuggle on mamas lap

[@kimedgar2738]

It’s nice you all go to church to keep faith in family. We are Catholic and go, but somewhere our son lost his faith. I don’t know what happened. 😢You have a nice Sunday routine. Can’t wait for next Costco/TJ’S haul.

Another fun adventure you took us on. I have never been to New York. I dont think with my anxiety i will ever be able to visit. There's far to many people.

[@TheHappyCaravan]

Aw thank you! I use olay total effects fragrance free. It is so helpful in this dry weather!

[@rillalongwell8368]

I'm curious about how you handle discipline, chores, & schooling. How did you teach the older ones about staying safe in a large city? Do the children have neighborhood friends or maybe church friends that they get to play with? I enjoy watching your video - keep them coming.

[@TheHappyCaravan]

They have friends at church and in their music program. There aren’t many kids in our neighborhood unfortunately.

[@Natthakarnlife]

Such a beautiful family! what do you carry in your diaper backpack when your on to go in New York?!

[@TheHappyCaravan]

Mostly just baby stuff and my purse stuff. ❤️

[@audreyannelanfranchi6642]

That’s the first time that I heard Amber call someone by the wrong name. My Mom had 6 kids and there were times that she named all the siblings, and the dog before she said my name 😂😂😂

[@marykeegan2606]

There were 8 of us-6 were boys. She generally got the girls names right, but called most of the boys names, and even added a few, until she got to the right one.

who shovels the snow off your steps and front? whom ever feels like it or is it just the older kids?

It’s usually Marc or the older kids. We also use salt the night before we know there will be snow to help it melt.

@@TheHappyCaravan 23 for me / us in October. Second for both of us

[@paganina2330]

@sandymyers1182 May I ask you whether this is a question which one is not supposed to ask? Is this something discrete? I just wonder because as a German I wouldn’t think about it. Same with age. I noticed that this topic is kind of a secret in the States but don’t really understand why. Especially regarding a marriage it’s something you can be very proud of being married over such a long period. At least I think it’s not a shame at all.

[@sandymyers1182]

I have found that in some cases and some people, take a question like that as being invasive. I just prefaced the question with the disclaimer so that it wouldn’t seem like that. I didn’t think she would mind but just to be safe.. 😀
