Long, Late Christmas & Regular Shopping ║ Large Family Shop with Me │ November 2017

I went shopping a day late this month; there was so much planning beforehand! We're getting our Christmas shopping done, as well as our regular monthly Walmart items and shopping for a few birthdays coming up. I did a lot of on-line shopping ahead of time, but I didn't take any video. I may try to do a Christmas haul video when everything arrives. This trip took me more than twice as long as normal with all of the thinking I had to do! I was worn out by the end. I also picked up a few baby items for our new baby girl who will be arriving in early spring. (Apparently I didn't actually take a video of me getting her nightgowns, so I added in a picture that I took at home while editing.)

Love the video that Andrea had here. I love all the video that makes my life better. Hugs family. I will always remember this fabulous women.

[@averysgranny]

Hard to believe this vibrant women that worked so hard taking care of her family is gone.. and wow will she be missed after seeing her shop....and do so many things that she did for her kiddo's... I sure pray for each one of those precious kids. Tom has slot to learn and has all these videos to go by...

[@thewoodenspoon9679]

I miss this beautiful woman. She continues to teach in her videos.

[@angelarascoe6526]

Really just wanted to watch one of your video. Remembering what a wonderful mom and wife you were. You are missed.

[@VEEKAKIDSLIFE]

She was such a sweetheart a cheerful giver

[@rose281396]

Take a break Andrea, you and baby need a personal shopper. Be safe, take care and thanks for taking us along, I know it was one more thing to add to your plate.

[@dianabanana9474]

Dear Andrea looking down on all of us, I still can't believe your gone. I think Christmas Day 2017 was the 1st time I discovered your channel and have been watching ever since. Though, I somehow missed this one but found others I've been catching up on. To me through these videos you will always be with us. Praying for your beautiful family! Love to them all and the joy you brought to everyone! 💕🙏💕

[@galady8632]

I admire your focus, determination and stamina. As a single person that could not have children and has no family I remain amazed by how gracefully you and Tom balance everything. I realize it isn't easy yet both of you work as such a loving and cohesive team that it appears to be second nature. Thank you for sharing your lives via your channel.

[@sarahsherrod2012]

OK, I'm tired and all I did was sit here and watch you!! Hope you're feeling OK!

[@whyteowl3706]

Rest easy Andrea. Remember - you are much loved.

[@pjl2963]

Aw, Andrea, I was so concerned for you; losing your strength and having trouble breathing! Please don't overdo it again, sweet friend. Hope you're feeling more rested now? Always love going along with you on your shopping trips..just wish I could have literally been there with you, so I could help! I love you and your family, and wouldn't want to see anything happen to you

[@TheMillsFamilyVlog]

It was just such a big trip; I shopped for about 3 1/2 hours with only a few minutes sitting at one point. Then, of course, all of that loading of the van left me a little breathless when I talked to you all. I was fine. If I'd waited a few minutes before talking I wouldn't have been so out of breath!

[@pjl2963]

You're such a trooper, Andrea! So glad to hear you're okay now

[@momandkidschannel5432]

Make sure you stay hydrated while shopping. Especially if you feel you're having contractions which can make you feel out of breath. Water, Coconut water, Vitamin water, even Gatorade. I remember taking a Gatorade off the shelf and drank it before buying it out of desperation before. So buy a drink then shop. :)

[@kitchentablecrafting7111]

Watching your shopping videos reminds me of shopping for my family of seven. We didn't have a car and had to carry all our goods home. We had to make several trips a week which I hated. The shops only stayed open until 5pm so when I was at work, it was a mad scramble to get the groceries. So glad we can shop on line now and we have a car, although now of course, my family have grown up!

[@hilda1170]

Such a beautiful soul.💜

[@vickiburris1615]

You r so missed 😢. Your with Jesus and loving every moment with our Lord 😊

[@barbmosier2894]

Oh Andrea it must have felt so good to see the lights of your cozy home come into view and to pull in you're driveway! Please take care of yourself.

[@jamichelletheharris]

Miss you, Andrea...still hard to believe you’re really gone. I feel so selfish missing you so much. I can’t imagine what Tom and the kids are feeling. I never even met you in person. But by golly you were my friend...and I wish I could see your face and hear your sweet voice in a new homeschool vlog or shop with me video. I sure look forward to heaven and being able to meet you and give you a big hug. I’ll bet the line will be long for that! 💕

[@ruthodom593]

I always smile when this video’s notice pops up in my box. I’m getting ready for my own monthly trip (a lesson I learned from you💕) and it is a BIG list this month with Christmas too. You always amaze me at how much you can fit into a cart. 😊😂. Please take care of yourself-I was very worried for you at the end. You and baby girl will be in my prayers. ❤️🎄🎄🙏🏻

[@cee6097]

I really do enjoy these shopping blogs!

[@nikkole9951]

I love watching you shop. You’re so organized!

[@lindav4378]

The calendar idea is brilliant.

[@bthegingerkitty4251]

I love to go shopping in the late evenings, especially walmart, not as crowded. (Bonus is usually my little people are enjoying time with my hubby and I can take my time without little feet getting tired.)

[@TheMillsFamilyVlog]

I used to always going shopping in the evening for that same reason. I don't do it much anymore, though. It was a bit more awkward doing a video this time because there were lots of employees stocking shelves while I was shopping and they were eyeballing my camera. One of them even asked what I was doing (not in a bad way, just curious.) When I told him, he thought it was a very strange thing to make a KZbin video about. :)

[@bthegingerkitty4251]

Andrea Mills I bet that is a bit tricky to get the shopping done whilst filming too. Thank you for doing the awkward part, hope you do know we all appericate it. 4 Wal-Marts here all within 1/2 hr, some silly things to see after 6pm at any one of them lol. Take care lovely lady, we are excited for the live stream.

[@justmeblomberg8940]

The calendar idea is awesome!

[@senchatee2710]

You are a one of a kind wonder woman. Always inspired by the gentle energy.

[@AmberLeeification]

These shopping videos are so relaxing to me 😄

[@elizabethvallely4044]

Aww just love going shopping with Andrea! You are so much miss you’re forever in Our Hearts! 💐❤️❤️

[@bowenfamilyfarm9776]

Bless your heart! I hope you get some rest. You are super mom.

[@marybradley9201]

Thanks ,Andrea. God bless all the family.

[@cindysue1198]

Having a baby is a natural high for you, You really love it. I can tell you enjoy all the nesting and preparing for the arrival of the new baby. I think being pregnant just gives you more energy, because you really are excited about this baby girl. Im looking forward to her arrival too. I adore your personality. It shines.

[@amystewart6193]

My favorite videos ever!!

[@mackenzier5094]

The baby girl stuff has me so excited!!!!!!

[@joannsimpson9568]

Such a beautiful caring woman. I Love watching all the videos. I know how hard it must be but at the same time to watch these for you and the kids has got to be bittersweet. Thank you for sharing your lives.

[@Fray14318]

I miss you.

[@hamsterloverforever1]

Wow you just go go go! Take it easy though, you and the baby need some good rest. Very excited to start seeing newborn stuff for the new little girl in February. Hope all is well and have a wonderful Christmas

[@huckleberryplanet4105]

Your shopping vlogs are so fun to watch. I am not sure why, but thank you for taking the time to do them. Also, you are just so inspiring and helpful in all of your videos.

[@staciesaemann1173]

awe bless your heart. you are such a good mom! get some rest, you deserve it

[@anynameyouchoose]

Bless you Andrea, I remember before my son was born, I went to the mall with my sister-in-law, I was 36 at the time and I had to sit and rest, so I do understand how tired you can get. Love You, I enjoy watching all your videos.

[@e.cahill9594]

Always enjoy looking back at your video’s Andrea, may you Rest In Peace......, so needed to hear your lovely voice. Tom is doing a wonderful job helping your children to grow💕💕💕

[@donnaterry1200]

I love to watch you shop! This year all but a few of my gifts will go into gift bags!

[@tracydavishensley]

Have you ever though about doing your shopping trip in 2 parts? All in the same day. Like go get all the general merchandise, check out and load it in the van. Then go back in and get groceries. It might help with keeping the cart not as heavy and you can get everything you need in one trip. Oh by the way your like super mom. There is no way I could do all that.

[@TheMillsFamilyVlog]

It makes me feel more tired to think about "starting over" once I've already checked out once. :) I can fit everything in while I'm shopping, but once it's bagged up it's hard to get it all in the cart. The clothes shopping trips and Christmas shopping trips are usually the only ones that need two carts, though. The other months I can generally manage everything with one cart.

[@tracydavishensley]

I can see that. I always dread our shopping trips. We go every 2 weeks. I just can't wait to get it over. You do a really good job at making it look easy.

[@konfidentplansplus7222]

Love your videos! You load your cart so efficiently!

[@fleurmp3820]

Well done! Epic effort. I totally understand what you were saying about not being able to think about more than one shopping list, at a time. I am having that very problem right now. I need to shop for my family Christmas celebration, annual friends Christmas party, Christmas day feasting and plain old regular dinner food! It is all too much for my brain x

[@Hoglen06]

Bless you sweet pea. Please take it easy. I could see how tired you were. Got to keep you and the littlest Mills healthy. Hugs From Ga!!!

[@donnaterry1200]

We love hanging out with you!

[@Hundefan123]

Hope you got some rest! It is amazing how you do all of that! And your video-making knowledge gets bigger and bigger - we can really watch you learn so fastly! It would be great to have a Baby-things video, with all the things you got for the new baby girl. So exiting!

[@karbear26]

Wow 4 hours is a long shopping trip but with so many people to shop for I can see how much thought goes into it! I’m glad you listened to your body a took a break during your shopping. Glad you got a snack for yourself after your long trip! That was nice that someone helped you out to your van! I’m pretty sure they’ve done that for you before! It difference in where you live since I don’t think any of our Walmart employees would do that where I’m from!

[@cassandra5516]

Nailed it 💪 I hope you got a good sleep that night! I really enjoy grocery shopping on my own, too. Sometimes I get it delivered but other weeks when I really just feel like going and looking around I'll go on my own 😊

[@donnawall6922]

I have never seen anyone get as much in a grocery cart as you !! You are a great mother !!

[@yvonnejohnson2109]

Thank you for sharing your monthly grocery hauls. I look forward to seeing them every month,

[@volition51]

I had to pause the video around 18:15 to say, you are wearing me out, lol. When I realized you were doing all this thinking and decision-making *and taping it at the same time,* I felt completely exhausted!! So nice to see all the little baby clothes!! Perfect music on the way home!

[@karenreece-may7660]

Greetings from the UK. Our family love watching your videos x

I really love the shop with me videos

Tired Mama, you are amazing! I hope you had a deep sleep after this long day!

[@carriec2039]

I got that out of milk app you use! I love it! I never forget anything anymore!

[@debbieomi]

I was certainly feeling for you at the end in the van. I was thinking, please just eat your banana and have your nice drink; you and the baby need it. :-) I missed having little ones to buy for once my son and nephews reached a certain age. I only had one younger niece but now there are seven grandnieces and nephews so I am back to buying toys and I love it. I am a frugal gal so I take my time and seek out the clearance items for wonderful and fun stuff. (I try to sneak a bot of education in there once in awhile.) I'm excited for another Mills' Christmas! Oh boy! Next year with the new one! That is going to be especially nice. :-D

[@imogenethomas1138]

Goodness Andrea! I am exhausted from just watching. I know you couldn’t do your Christmas shopping with kids along, but please don’t do anymore of your big shopping events without helpers. I am so glad you have the big boys and Eden to help through the rest of your pregnancy, and after the baby arrives. They will all be great blessings to you.

[@TheMillsFamilyVlog]

I always prefer shopping alone if I can. I never get to have time by myself except for my shopping trips, so I look forward to my monthly solo outing.

[@JoshsCindyLouakaTwinnyTwinMom]

Andrea Mills ♡ I agree with you there. Then I'm out & I'm talking to other kids missing my own. lol

[@imogenethomas1138]

Andrea Mills I didn’t think about it like that. I’m sure you do need some me time. I was just worried about you being over tired.

[@souldawn2187]

We appreciate all the work you put on your blogs! You’re like a”superhero” you wear a lot of hats 🤰🏻👩🏻‍⚕️👩🏻‍🏫👩🏻‍🍳🕵🏻‍♀️👩🏻‍🔬👩🏻‍💻🤱🏻 and more! Many blessings from the Lord! ❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@joannlaneking8725]

Love these vlogs! I hope the mills have a great Christmas god bless

[@juliaperry6238]

Hard to believe that this whole time she had breast cancer. Explains her back hurting and not feeling well. I am a breast cancer survivor. I'm so sorry she didn't catch it in time.😢

[@nancysimmons2225]

It's very sad I'm thinking she thought it had to do it being pregnant she didn't connect it but I don't think they had a family doctor and she didn't say anything to a doctor even if she did I don't know if they would have connected it beingb breast cancer I'm not sure

[@patsycrocker8483]

I read she had cancer in the biliary duct, which has to do with gallbladder and liver. I’m probable wrong.

[@TheMillsFamilyVlog]

@Patsy Crocker It started out that that's what they thought she had, right until she died. The doctor called a couple weeks later and told us it had in fact been breast cancer.

[@patsycrocker8483]

@@TheMillsFamilyVlog thanks for the reply, I did see the video explaining the diagnosis. I have just started your channel so I’m catching up. Your doing so well with your children and it’s ok to have a girlfriend and people in your life.

[@dottievillegas9122]

Nicely done. Get some rest if you can - although I can relate to the late night/early morning shopping trips. ;) Love the grandparent calendar idea. Genius!

[@goode2shuz1]

I am worn out just watching you do all that shopping lol. My Kroger has order online and then pickup in your vehicle. I love it! Saves me so much time. My Wal-Mart doesn't have it yet. I have done so much shopping online this year. Amazon prime is nice.

[@dbtfamily3187]

I love how sweet your family is and I wish I would have started homeschooling my twins years ago that's the best way

[@babynursegreen3193]

Your shopping videos are so relaxing. I was very glad to see you get yourself a banana and a juice for a snack at the end of your shopping trip. I hope you had a nice rest when you got home.

[@homeschoolingmysuper7884]

Aww Andrea that was a marathon trip! I think it's time to bring one of the older boys to help loading the bags and also running to different aisles to grab stuff! Split the list up so they can get some and you can do less walking! Get some rest!

As someone who regularly drives a long lonely distance to mega-shop, I totally understand how draining it is. Hope you had a restful day following.

[@TheMillsFamilyVlog]

I did; I felt fine by the time I got home, actually, except for tired feet. I got lots of laundry put away and a few other chores done after I got back. I get my best work done late at night. :)

[@iamteachermimi8244]

Oh how I know the feeling of being that tired! There is no describing that pure exhaustion. (I have 10) Just know it's ok to rest!!! If you haven't already look into Chlorophyll it made a huge difference for me❤

[@InHimAlone]

Whew! Take care of yourself! Shopping was/is the hardest task for me while pregnant. I never did 4 hour marathons either! Thanks for taking us along again!

Your idea to break up gift sets to use as stocking stuffers is genius!

You are a pro at loading that cart lol. I know it was Christmas shopping this time too but next time take someone with you. It's hard work grocery shopping. I was glad that we got Walmart grocery pickup here when I was pregnant. Don't over do it! Hugs!!

[@TheMillsFamilyVlog]

I prefer shopping alone, if possible. It's pretty much the only time each month that I get to be by myself. I look forward to having my "day off" once a month. :)

[@katiecarnahan8331]

Andrea Mills I hear you! I love being able to go off on my own too! Lol.

[@3LenaBlack]

I wish I could have helped you. That was an epic shopping trip! No wonder you are tired. 😳

[@grgumgee1]

This year you should do an interactive Christmas for the kids let us pick and send presents for each one I think it would make it special

[@traceywye6480]

last year you put all the Christmas stuff in the back of the van, you definitely have seemed to need an extra pair of hands this year, in fact, the last few shops, 2 people seem to be required for trollies that must mean you can get less n the internet one extra small person is certainly making her self-felt . glad to see you are getting ahead with baby things, that are always good they say as you seem to need more than you think even though you have had so many you could probably write your own baby essentials it's always nice to know recommendations for baby gifts and required items from an experienced mother and father I am sure Tom has his own tips too!!!!

[@nikkib5753]

I REALLY wish I had found this family sooner. I made BIG parenting mistakes and I would give anything if I could go back. Parents if you are reading this, TRUST ME. Your kids do not need $2K spent on them at Christmas. (Or any EXCESSIVE amount). I only had one child, but was also a single mom his whole life. With no assistance or child support. I did everything to excess. Trust me, it ONLY hinders your child. I truly should not have. I wish I could do it all over. And its NOT only that. I've learned so much from watching Andrea & Tom. I just can't believe Andrea is gone. Such a beautiful, kind, loving, strong woman. With a husband and family to match, no doubt. She must have had a million friends. I would have been honored to call her a friend or sister❤

[@momof6931]

[@Littlehomegarden247]

I love that part of wal mart...I feel like a lot of people always over look it cause it is not name brand

[@grateful1929]

Ok. I love you and your precious family! 😍 As a mama/grandma I'm going to get on to you (lovingly). I was worried about you going shopping at night alone. I didn't like you walking alone into the store and loading your van alone. Anyone could have come up while you weren't watching. Also, while you were filming in the van I hope your doors were locked. People can walk up and get into your vehicle in a second. Please don't go out alone at night to shop. I am saying this because I care about you. I am an older woman in my early sixties. I have one daughter who is 37, one who is 31 and a son who is 40 this month. I live in a smaller South GA. town. I won't go at night though. I know you have to go when it's better for you but Andrea, please watch your surroundings. Take Thomas with you. 😊

[@TheMillsFamilyVlog]

Thankfully, we live in a very safe part of the world. I've never felt concerned shopping at night.

[@dragonflyneb]

Andrea Walmart will load your car too just ask for the help. I really like the calendar idea it would sure help me ha ha. Take care and have someone help.

[@janejones1797]

Hard to believe sometimes that she’s gone

[@glendaruff125]

2018 is blessing our family with babies too. A good sign. You should have brought some of your older boys to help you.

[@TheMillsFamilyVlog]

I like shopping by myself; it's really the only alone time I have. Plus, I was Christmas shopping so I didn't want to have anyone along.
