FAMILY OF 13 GROCERY HAUL

[@pattyburkhart3270]

I was 33 when I adopted my son. Once he asked when I would quit calling him my baby. Never! When I’m 99 and he’s 66, he will always be my baby.

Yes, he will ❤

I was 47 when I adopted my daughter. She is the same way my baby. She saved me from a life of loneliness. I don't know where I would be without her. You're never too old to change your life and the life of a deserving child.

Hi Alicia! I’m from Sydney Australia! We love love love your videos!! One of my sons.. Jade is 9 years old and has autism level 3 and severe intellectual disability.. we’ve had the worst food issues with him since the day he was born! Some days it’s like we are trying to force feed him arsenic.. it’s hard! He literally will only eat 6 different foods.. none of which are good for him.. we’ve tried everything from feeding specialists.. to OT programs for feeding disorders.. now we let him eat what he’s comfortable with and supplement his diet with Pediasure.. we had bloods done recently and he’s very healthy! Which was a shock! His 6 year old sister is also bigger then him! 🤣.. thank you again for your videos.. my fav thing to do is put my AirPods in and do my chores to your videos!! ❤

With pedisure you can make smoothies, milkshakes, and it mixes well with ice cream. I took care of a little boy about 7 years old and he was like your son, Bohdi, very picky about any different kinds of food. I would make him a milkshake with pedisure and tell him it was my favorite, he loved it after that and all ways wanted to make them. Try it , it might help.

Mrs Dougherty you are correct.Cashiers and or sackers are indeed trained to never bag any kind of household cleaners,detergents,roach spray,or fertilizer with any kind of food,be it canned,boxesy,frozen,etc.Not even make-up,finger nail polish,or finger nail polish remover.Or chemicals that you use for your vehicle.

Don't worry you are not alone with being weird about having food next to the cleaning products in the cart or shopping bags. I have to keep it separate because in my mind the one time I forget it the cleaning products will spill or another bottle from the shelf has already spilled on it and all the food is no longer edible...

[@nightwing8507]

Are all the meals processed, fast food, sugar? I don’t understand how you can feed these kids junk all the time!! Can you post a home cooked meal from scratch??? Like peeling potatoes for mashed potatoes, salad, meatballs recipe??

[@FelicianoCookie]

Honestly, I'm not so sure what is going on with the food stamps in our area, either... A year or two ago I saw a pregnant young woman get stopped by our AP staff at my work (Walmart) because she was shoplifting. She was crying because some of the stuff she really needed and she couldn't afford it. I was talking to another associate about it and we both felt so bad for her that it got so bad that she felt the need to attempt stealing. Unfortunately I can't recall the resolution but I am most certainly hoping that things worked out and she is in a better situation ❤

[@SusanHunter-e6z]

All you can buy with food stamps is food. The other stuff you need like dish detergent and laundry detergent you can buy with stamps and those are two things you need that are expensive.

Your hair, your makeup, and the outfit that you were wearing with the black and white dress over black pants really looked great.

I'm glad that you were not wearing the holey jeans because I get tired of seeing those every day. Thanks for all the wonderful content that you set up but mainly thank you for taking such good care of the kids that are under your care. You and your husband provide well for the kids in giving them pretty much everything any kid could ever want or need and really good food on top of it. I can watch you shop because you don't worry about everything that you're picking up so it's a very great experience getting to shop with somebody that doesn't worry about every single nickel and dime that they have to spend for groceries.
