Fall/Winter Clothes Shopping, Haul & Organization (Large Family Organization)

[@beam8250]

From what I see: Andrea lived her life with purpose. She was an exceptional woman, wife, mom, teacher, healer, homemaker, entrepreneur, you name it! Something tells me she fulfilled her purpose in her short life... Not saying her sudden death isn't heartbreaking, she just really knew how to live in the moment, and got stuff done. May she RIP 💖. Her children will always be protected and guided by her legacy. God bless them all!

[@HardyWeeed]

Amen to that!

[@malina1239]

Oh how I miss this precious lady’s videos💔 She was such a special person , her calming voice and sweet personality brought such comfort to my hard life. She even brought relief from my chronic pain and ptsd for a moment. Her wisdom and gentleness was like a warm hug from a loving mother❤️ Ill never forget you Andrea , I hope you are blessed beyond imagination in the arms of our father🥰

[@iamoneilly]

I just adore your family! In a horrible world, its a beautiful escape to come to the mills corner on youtube and see some wonderful normal people! You make my day x

i miss her so much...her voice just calmed me down when i am stressed

[@bettyboo8214]

I agree.Something very calming and soothing about Andrea' s voice. She is missed.

[@joshuacreel3000]

watching your children interact is such a treat, i grew up in a giant family but lemme tell you no one would have been giving me advice on which underwear to keep unless they had ulterior wedgie motives :P

[@jordansmom143]

Joshua Creel best comment

[@patriciaorsborn7165]

Joshua Creel lol, I am just watching this for the first time, and big brother jumping in to help so Solly didn't get a broken heart over the tossed out undies really hit me right in the feelies

[@dragonflyneb]

MOM of the YEAR award given to you great job. Fun video.

[@BretMarie777]

I love how the kids all get new clothes and not hand me downs. And I love how organized Andrea was. She was the best mother.

[@captivatingstray]

Just a thought, if the puffy paint doesn't work for some clothing items, you could always do a few stitches of some colored thread to identify items. Then, with something like boots, you could cut the threads and place new ones when needed. Also, I'm really glad to see you let Eden have the Hello Kitty shirt. :)

[@TheOfficialKayy]

The children's place has jeans year round for $7.99 and they are great quality. They have sizes up to 20 I think. It's the only place I buy my 4 boys jeans from. Just a suggestion:)

[@bubblybernice4863]

I miss you Andrea. 😪

[@julieannemichelle]

Your little girl is so cute and very mindful of prices. I really love seeing that type of maturity in children. You have taught her well!

[@jeannieleasa1579]

I am in awe of your organization and frugality. You must work magic to provide for this wonderful family. I was wondering if you would haves PO box so I could get some Christmas for the kids. I know God provides for yourneeds, but I would like to give as well.

[@TheMillsFamilyVlog]

You are very kind! Our address it P.O. Box 323, Moorcroft, Wyoming 82721

[@thedailykids12]

Andrea Mills hey Andrea you know where you can get shoes half off almost free? at famous foot wear !they last they are can be useful for all seasons!

[@lauraubrey5929]

Hi

[@aranzamonserratito]

Literally I was just going to fall asleep and then I saw you uploaded a video 😖👍🏼 bye sleep lol

[@LililibragirlAnna]

monse jimenez Ha same here! love her videos but even more when there's shopping involved.

[@aranzamonserratito]

Iris Moon tell me about it lol 😂 I'm still awake

[@annmarielowe9253]

omg how happy is your daughter to be spending time on her own with you it's so sweet to watch.xx

[@BbyJLP]

Rewatching this video. Eden's so sweet and it's really nice seeing her hanging out, one-on-one, shopping with her mama. 😓

[@JVHarberden]

You remind me so much of my mom. Maybe that is why I have become such a faithful follower of you. I live 2.5 hours away from my family now and can only visit once a month. It is so obvious that you love your kids when you remember all the little things that each individual child likes.

[@PotawatomiProud]

Andrea I know you are probably sick of hearing how much I love you and your family, but with each video you just blow my mind on how organized you are. Eden is such a sweet girl, I love all your children but loved this video, but then again I say that about all your videos.❤️😊🙏🏽

[@susanrobinson408]

Eden is such a good helper. I was interested to see her sense of style come out even within the family guides. Are you able to hand very much down or do the kids wear them out first? You are an awesome mom. I had two sons and was not nearly as organized!

[@kelleythenurse3283]

Susan Robinson she talked about this is the video where she explained the clothing shopping chart. The day to day clothes they generally wear until they're worn out and things like snow gear and dressy clothes that are more limited usage get handed down as much as possible. That's why she talked about needing to adjust the budget because they had to buy new jackets this year.

[@banannabelles]

Susan Robinson

[@valerielain1481]

beautiful family.

[@lindawalters4098]

It’s so sad that Andrea won’t be there to guide her girls to women hood,so very sad & unfair RIP💖

[@annilleegarcia4353]

Linda Walters it’s so amazing that they will have the option of looking back on these videos to hear their mother’s voice talking about everything from budgeting to dealing with her Mom’s passing. What a blessing in the midst of so much sadness.

[@CookieCrumbFun]

My daughters have the same black boots. My 6 yr old loves them. The brown shoes you bought for Sophia, y 3 yr old has them as well. LOL. Watching you shop has helped me, I saw some things I'd like to get for my girls. I miss snow but I do not miss all that goes with the cold weather. LOL Sweatshirts are just fine here in the Bay area for the cold nights. Oh, all the gloves and boots and coats we used to buy! I am thankful we do not need to buy all that anymore. LOL. Thank you for taking us along to Walmart with you and Eden!

[@karenrogers2826]

We miss you, dear Andrea, and everything you did and shared with all of us. How in the world did you get everything done and made like you did? Your love of family is so evident! You must have never slept because I still can’t see how you got everything done with the love you’ve shown. Those children were so blessed and so are you. We miss you, dear Wonder Woman!

[@geenabeanscrochetandmore3533]

I love your organization system. I’m curious though why you don’t hand the clothes down? I have 4 boys and hand me downs have been such a lifesaver financially.

[@amydownly7261]

no wonder you wanted so many children, when they are as sweet and helpful, as EDEN

[@debbiefaulkner7889]

The organization skill that Andrea had is really impressive ♥️

[@sheilas1283]

Eden is such a sweetheart!

[@yolandabrown7044]

its sweet you dress them alike, but with daughters, those days are numbered. looks like Eden is already trying to be her own style. Boys are easy, girls, whew. lol.

[@WLeo-kz5yy]

I was thinking the same thing about the girls. But great shopping haul. I think I need to do this, not so exact but a good overall of what my kids have might make my life a little easier!

[@yolandabrown7044]

W. Leo I myself do this with my income taxes every year. My kids get two new wardrobes a year. beginning of school and tax time. Of course there's always a few needs in between, like socks, my boys can't keep them, lol.

[@user-by6kx7pv2d]

Its just color, so im assuming when theyre older they can wear whatever style, as long as its still the color, so thatll work better.

[@nameinuse22]

I love how these kids get to have their own opinion and their parents always acknowledge each one as an individual. I am so sorry about the loss of Andrea, she was one in a billion and clearly will be missed. I am in awe at how well she knew every person in her life, especially her kids and accepted them for who they are. She always was so thoughtful at what “he/she likes”❤️ So much to be learned from her and thanks to these videos she will continue to teach. I’m not sure how this got recommended but I have loved watching these videos.

[@beatricerubio3763]

Andrea why did you have to leave, I always looked forward daily watching your vlogs. You inspired me in many ways.. why why !

[@princesseleler5515]

Sweet baby eden 😩🥺🥺❤️🌈 god bless 🙏🏾

[@chrissiel7039]

My heart goes out to Asher.. " these boxers are the most comfortable thing I've put on my whole life" :')

[@TheMillsFamilyVlog]

Everyone loves that feeling of soft, new fabric. It's such a pleasure to slip your feet into a new pair of socks! (I've never had the pleasure of experiencing a new set of boxers! :) )

[@amysingh9848]

That’s so sad 😞 I’m just looking for ones that aren’t so much money that I like. Poor kid

[@teresakeith5539]

Well Tom, after seeing little Miss Eden in this older video, I know what Claudia is going to look like! The resemblance is crazy!

[@karbear26]

Fun to see that I did watch this one 3 years ago found my comment!! The clothing hauls are my favorite!

[@jamichelletheharris]

I miss you so much, Andrea...I’m having horrible issues with insomnia. Your videos are helping immensely...thank you, if you’re able to read this from Heaven. 💕💕💕💕

[@joleda56]

Love these shopping vlogs with eden- precious memories!

[@mistybethune9116]

wow its amazing how much claudia looks like eden at that age. If this wasnt andrea i would have swore that was her.

[@drummerlovesbookworm9738]

That was a gorge haul! I feel fat and full after that. What a blast! Eden has all the earmarks of a fashionista, but she was being so sweet about what you want. I like that kid. My OCD would never let me do it like that. Gotta try it on, look at two or three stores, think about it, take a photo from the front and the back and study it, compare the items and prices on line..........hahahha! I loved this video. xoj

[@alyssaabigail4224]

Mrs. Mills, we hope you could share us your halloween this year! 😍 oh and Christmas too! hahah so excited for that. So much love for you guys!

[@rosemannino444]

Hi Mills Family. I just subscribed to your channel. I viewed a few of your videos and I'm hooked. Tom , your an amazing dad and beautiful children❤. The pizza's look yummy!

[@TheMillsFamilyVlog]

So happy to have new friends, welcome!!

[@erincooper2553]

Oh my goodness Eden is so cute and such a good helper! I'd love to see more of her in the vlogs, I adore her kind personality!!

[@tarynbarstow5685]

Thank you so much for recording and posting this! I commented on the clothing inventory video that I would love to see how you did the shopping and I am so glad you read the comments and took us along with you! You are such a wonderful Mum

[@nicoledemana]

in total wow, you do amazing you are so well organised and the children just put away their laundry with out a protest, my 2 grandchildren live with me now as my daughter passed away suddenly in 2015, and they complain all the time but they still have to do it lol.

[@sandramullen7804]

Watching in 2020 how adirable are you Eden looking fir shoes thst are not too expensive . What an adorable caring child 💜🙏👍

[@BbyJLP]

Oh, my goodness! The kids have grown SO much since this video.

[@cherrynurse05]

Someone probably already put this but I just bought jeans for my kids at The Children's Place today for 7.99 without a coupon. Usually there is a free shipping code online as well. That is the only kind I have bought now for 7 years. They hold up great and have adjustable waist. I never spend more than 9 bucks a pair. Plus I think they have up to size 14 or 16 :) Not really my business, but I just thought I would pass that tidbit along. I LOVE your videos! They are so calming and inspiring!!

[@FrugalFitMom]

I really used to like children's place until recently. My boys will rip holes in their jeans in 2 months. I love the jeans from Costco for my boys, they seem to really hold up.

[@davidmcintosh9060]

I can't believe how good you are with your kids, so patient and encouraging. Thanks for your you tube channel as your tips for organising kids and the home have really helped me...... Louise

[@loripark6391]

I miss you. Love ya💜

[@tbori180]

Such an attentive great momma she was 🙏🏾 ❤️ S.I.P.

[@emarm100]

Don’t the kids wear hand me downs from the bigger kids?

[@karla.30]

Our kids are color coded for the calendar! We have older children with work schedules and kids with lots of medical appointments, so I can see at a glance if it is a "Rainbow Day" lol

[@lindarobinson5777]

Eden is such a sweetheart, but then I just love all of your children.Thx for sharing

[@alexanderthelame8462]

Fab family clothes shopping video-you are such nice people-and this is the 2nd of your videos i have seen in the past 3 days.x

[@hollyncook3222]

I don't know if you have an old navy near you, but next shopping trip you may look there! They have nice clothes and usually lots of color options! You could also look online! Just so you know their clothes run close to size! And their sales are amazing! check out black Friday sales too! they have awesome black Friday sales!!!

[@rca22]

This was such a fun video. I really enjoyed it. I love Eden's style. You have such a sweet family. Thanks for the video.

[@allisonisaacs5213]

What time do the kids go to bed and do chores

[@emarm100]

What a good helper you have there!

[@onelittlemiracle241]

❤

[@emarm100]

Wow, that is quite the haul! You would definitely need a chart to find what everyone needs.

[@kimberlyclayton4985]

Mama mills you’re amazing so gentle and kind

[@daniellebudick9485]

Missing Andrea’s soothing voice. RIH Andrea.

[@meganwildt2481]

I think this was the 1st video of yours that i ever saw. It was either this or the boys room tour. I cant believe how big the kids got or rather how small some of them used to be.

[@reannonb]

Obsessed with all your videos!!! This video was so interesting

[@angelapattillo6299]

Eden is the sweetest she is my fav little girl so sweet

[@kimberlyclayton4985]

Rip

[@tiffanynicole7095]

I'm New To your Channel May I ask Why You all wear the Same Color ? Is It Easier To Keep Track of the kids when you go Out ?

[@Charis6540]

have you ever shopped online for clothes? I always shop for my boys jeans at Crazy8, they go up to a 14 in boys and I find them on sale for $8.88 each plus there are alot of places you can find coupons for that store, I usually pay $7.10 each and they are great quality

[@TheMillsFamilyVlog]

I haven't much, but I probably should!

[@WLeo-kz5yy]

The childrens place has great deals on jean's several times a year. Not sure if that is the same time as your bi annual clothing shopping but definitely check them out online. I believe they were 6.99 a pair. . . Walmart seemed little expensive. Thank you for sharing your shopping trip!

[@oscarfelix1952]

I'm off from work today, just got off the phone with my daughter and told her how I'm binge watching your channel (new to me). Awesome and so inspiring. My new favorite channel...!

[@TheMillsFamilyVlog]

I'm glad we get to spend the day together! :)

[@kimberlyclayton4985]

Such a sweet little princess

[@ldaversano]

I love how your kids are so appreciative of what they have! I admire the way you do things (organization, shopping, ect.) Hopefully when I have kids in a couple years, I'll do things the way you do! Thank you for being so open with your subscribers!

[@samis8828]

I don't know why but I can't stop watching your videos. I have been binge watching all week!!

[@grgumgee1]

Watching your videos makes me feel nostalgic my mom had many children and she’d always take me on special trips like this shopping. She’s not around anymore so thankyou for including us in these videos makes me feel like I’m with my mom again!

[@sarahnewman2324]

We miss you Andrea !!!

[@ilySolida]

I just found your channel yesterday & I've been hooked! I just love your personality! Props to you for taking care of a huge family. Your kids are adorable , little Sophia is such a cutie but Eden is by far my favorite. She has such a sweet personality.

[@grgumgee1]

Eden and Solomon are my favorite haha

[@donnacamm8155]

Heres also a good haul video

[@annejustus6200]

You are all so awesome 🐙🌷

[@bronaghe8311]

Im just wondering what your rule is when it comes to dating? I know your children at too young at the minute but when they are older!

[@bronaghe8311]

Are*

[@TheMillsFamilyVlog]

We haven't really talked much about that in a specific way because so far there hasn't been much interest. I'm sure when the time comes we'll talk about it.

[@andrew99999]

Instead of throwing old clothes away, you can donate it to places that recycle fabric, some goodwills will do it for you.

[@TheMillsFamilyVlog]

We have to drive quite a distance to donate items, so it might be months before I take them in. Since I don't have a lot of room to store stuff in the meantime, I only keep stuff I know for sure can be resold.

[@LivingEclectic]

Wow what a great video!

[@catalinagomez8656]

I love your family i am growing up with 6 brothers now and it is nothing like your family you are so orginised and my famliy is less.... aka not ORGINIZE at ALL btw how many kuds do you have

[@TheMillsFamilyVlog]

Hi, Liliana! :) We're expecting our 9th child in April.

[@catalinagomez8656]

Andrea Mills oh cool thanks to know btw love your channel

[@allisonisaacs5213]

Why do you Mark the clothing

[@karbear26]

Thanks for taking us with you when you went shopping! Eden was such a good helper! It was great to see your haul too! That was really smart to do double duty on Halloween costumes/everyday!

[@allisonisaacs6131]

Did you get Thomas some undies

[@gaylynnadams5550]

Hi back win 😂wash pant In side last long gaylynn It want fage❤❤

[@allisonisaacs6131]

Does Thomas have a bedtime

[@lruss5050]

I don't even have kids and I just enjoy your videos so much!

[@grouch314]

Out of curiosity, how come you dress the girls and boys differently? Why not put the girls in polo's and pants too?

[@TheMillsFamilyVlog]

Sometimes the girls do wear polos and jeans. I don't know about other people, but at our house the boys don't really care what they wear, but the girls love dressing up in pretty dresses.

[@mildredlane3717]

I buy all black socks that do not show stains so bad.

[@atravers_]

She’s so cute

[@paulabrogan707]

hairspray will take the marker just spray and wash or wipe

[@peachy4173]

Why multiple dots on some of the clothing? Love Edens hello kitty shirt! As always, thanks so much for sharing.

[@unicornsims7044]

It's to tell which persons clothes they are

[@TheMillsFamilyVlog]

I used to do a little line in each color, but some markers start to fade as they get washed over and over making it hard to tell the difference sometimes between blue /purple and red/orange, so I also started doing a different number of dots- 1 blue dot, 2 purple dots, 3 red dots, 4 orange dots, etc.

[@itwasthemoustache]

She has a video on it called Marking socks, Paying bills & Grocery budgets, where she explains.

[@mareek9639]

You are amazing! You are so organised!

[@lizlane6490]

Great video! You are so inspirational!!

[@LifeByJen]

I do the same thing with Walmart. I order my cat litter, cat food etc. the heavier items that is too heavy to carry. I also found out a couple weeks ago there was a limit to the purchases online. Mine stopped at 35 items. So to get the free shipping I just divided the items up and made 2 orders slightly over $50! :)

[@TheMillsFamilyVlog]

I didn't realize I only had two items left to put in my cart, so I checked out and then I continued on with the order. Those 2 things didn't meet the minimum for free shipping and if I'd have been paying attention I could've taken somethings off the first order like you did. Neither item was essential, so they're just sitting in my cart till next month.

[@Bubbles-ug3vr]

Im 13 and i enjoy these 😂

[@sponsoredbylife3913]

We usually wait to buy coats until the weekend after thanksgiving (NOT black friday). We found that most of the clothes sales continue on at Wal-Mart through that weekend. We have lucked out a time or two on $5 per pair snow boots, and $10 per jacket (family of 7 here). We have also found consignment stores where we can take our gently loved clothes, and get store credit to re-shop there. Your family is beautiful!! Just found your vids tonight... and totally enjoying them!
