Family of 12 in NYC ❤️🗽 The Milk Bar 🙌🏼 Sunday Afternoon in West Village

This Sunday our family (well most of our family because Pearl was doing a chamber music event in Massachusetts) went to church in West Village in Lower Manhattan and then we went to "The Milk Bar". Wow that place was AMAZING! I definitely want to go there again! The kids tried a little bit of everything. The "Cereal Milk" softserve with cereal topping was so yummy! Definitely a comfort food sort of place. Very creative too! Then we head home (to Harlem in upper Manhattan) and eat some Crock Pot Chicken Quinoa Casserole. It was a winner! Recently our Trader Joe's started carrying Enchilada Sauce (one of the ingredients) and it was really very good. Naomi said it reminded her of the filling in those microwave burritos you buy. It was really good and almost had the "junk food" yumminess to it, but without the guilt.👍🏻 #largefamilylife #nyc #sundayafternoon #dayinthelife

Please ignore negative comments. I think you do a great job with your kids. I think they are mature for their age even the little ones. Always a joy to watch your videos

[@TheHappyCaravan]

Aw thanks! I’ve got a lot to learn as a mom still, I know that. I really appreciate your encouragement. ❤️

[@lsbond80]

The children are so patient, loving, and respectful toward each other. That’s the going of great parents 🤍

[@amorgan8040]

As a history buff myself, I always enjoy when Josiah gives a bit of historical information on NY and I am curious to know more! It would be so awesome for him to have a full episode once a week on The Happy Caravan, or even his own channel. He could take us on walking tours and through museums! And it also would add to his academic profile should he decide to pursue graduate school. Go for it Josiah!

[@TheHappyCaravan]

Yes! I’ve told him that! He is like history encyclopedia. He remembers everything!

[@amorgan8040]

Yay, I hope he gives it a try! Just start with a pilot episode and see how it goes. I think there will be a lot of interest!!@@TheHappyCaravan

[@Timbergal]

I love the snacks your family gets! Yummmm

[@hoosierladyus48]

It is so sweet that all of the kids share their treats. I am amazed at all the different stores and shops they have there and the wide variety of items you can buy. Tell Josiah I said he is a handsome Dapper young man. He is also very intelligent. Amber, you and Marc and have done an excellent job of raising your children. I don't think anyone could ask for better kids. Thank you for sharing your Sunday with us. God bless all of you. 🙏 I forgot, I love Josiahs jacket.

[@TheHappyCaravan]

Aw Thank You! I will tell Josiah☺️

[@tangodaze]

Yes! He is handsome, thoughtful, kind and yearns for knowledge ❤

[@jenstewark8087]

I agree i would love to hear more history from Josiah

[@nadaleenbrady8183]

I like how you trust ur kids to get to church etc by themselves and to not be afraid. You let them be independent but also have rules❤

[@Timbergal]

I was going to say trust them to actually GO to church instead of decide to do something else lol

[@christinel3175]

Love Milk Bar! You have to try the Milk Bar Pie. Melt in your mouth good!!

[@MaureenDrees]

Thank you for taking us along on for your Sunday. I’ve heard about The Milk Bar, so it was fun to see what its treats are like. I’m impressed by how beautiful the tile pictures in the subway station are.

[@zoekatz6216]

You are doing a good job with these videos. Some of best. I would love to see You all on the high line if it ever stops raining. Should be gorgeous in fall. Maybe also a home school trip to the aquarium and lunch (picnic) on the boardwalk. I really feel like I am in NYC.

[@TheHappyCaravan]

Yes! The highline is so fun!

[@reginaloso2288]

Your family gives off such a great vibe. I love your videos. Beautiful family. Smart beautiful kids. A joy to watch your videos🦋

[@bmary8507]

A lovely family enjoying a lovely Sunday. It is heartwarming to witness.

[@kristyvoss9204]

I just found your channel over the weekend. You have such a beautiful family! Your voice is so calming, and God’s love shines through you. I love NYC and enjoy the sites that you show. ❤

[@TheHappyCaravan]

Thank you!❤️🙏🥰

[@melissawingfield8666]

The treats from The Milk Bar looked delicious! As a kid, when I went to Sunday school (when in 5-6 grade, not the younger years), the teacher would teach the class then at the end, ask questions. Everyone who got the answer correct got a candy bar. Made all of us pay close attention to what the teacher was saying because those candy bars looked so good! I wonder how long it took to build all of the connecting NYC train stations ... can't even imagine. Thank you for another great video! 🙏❤

[@mookiemonin]

You're awonderful !mom Amber. Your children's hapiness and caring for one another are a testament to that! ❤

[@tangodaze]

I’m so happy to hear of Pearl’s chamber music engagements!!! She’s such a beautiful player and will be in high demand!!! ❤️

Your eldest boy is so smart he knows a lot of trivial information I like how everyone shares and u go to a different place each week

[@tanyaboland1838]

You have a beautiful family! Always look forward to seeing the videos! I am a only child and always wanted a brother or sister!! Just one!! Lol! But love watching the busy family outings and the kids interacting with each other! Do the kids ride bikes or scooters? My grandkids love those battery operated ride on toys, and they can ride them in the house! Keeps them entertained for a bit!!

[@TheHappyCaravan]

❤️❤️🙏

[@margueriteodell2522]

I love what good eaters your kids are, especially sweet Moses!

It’s always fun to have a treat after church. Thanks for exploring another venue. Melody looked cute with her new sunnies! Chloe’s cupcakes looked divine. It’s great your kids are happy to try new foods .

[@Mrs.Peachthriftyliving]

She had that tradition for years going to the donut shop before church on Sunday morning, now I'm by myself and I go to the donut shop four or five times a week, meet my friends there sometimes do my Bible study, work on whatever I'm writing at the time for my KZbin channel. I enjoy your videos little mo is really starting to talk good❤

[@rebeccaharper7859]

I think the Sunday excursions are the best.Such beautiful children.I am always impressed.Stay safe.

[@rebeccanaylor63]

When you all share your food it is just like my family we all take bites out of everything. My daughters boyfriend was horrified that we all share food and eat each other’s leftovers because his family would never do it . They eat from their own plate only.

Mmmmmm Red Velvet truffles

Amber is very lucky to have such a helpful family. I guess that's why she just keeps having more kids because everyone does all the hard work for her.

Why don't you create the life you want instead of getting online and whinning about other people's life.

Hi

[@monicadabney8471]

Beautiful family. Little confused. I thought your daughters only wore modest dresses and modest skirts. Did something change?

[@TheHappyCaravan]

We have worn pants for a while. 5 years ago we went to an IFB church that said women shouldn’t wear pants but when we found out the music director there was a child predator we got out quickly and in the process we realized some things the church taught bordered on being cultish. So we have just looked at the Bible for ourselves and have tried to make the best choices for our family.

[@monicadabney8471]

@@TheHappyCaravan Oh I see. Just sharing: I am Traditional Catholic since 2017. I used to wear jeans, bikinis, short skirts. Tank tops etc. I have since learned how immodest and displeasing and irreverent wearing mens britches is to Our Lord. I only wear pjs ( pants) in my home. I have never looked back. I wouldnt let a bloody predator interfere with what is pleasing to God. However, it is as you said,.. your decision.
