Her organizing skills were amazing!

[@rachel031404]

You are simply amazing!!!! I get so much inspiration and encouragement from your videos! Thank you, thank you, thank you!

I found Andrea on KZbin many years ago, but I never watched everything... I’m now going through them. Missing her. Thankful for her words. Xoxo

I love the grocery inventory idea. I pretty much just buy the same things again and again so this would be great.

[@lenasamanthagraham]

I began buying only Black socks to all of us 😊 problem solved, now i always have a sock to match em with☝️

[@depreepounds4332]

wow! I love that idea about your children getting their own treats/snacks😁going to implement soon!!!

[@princesseleler5515]

I miss you Andrea💔💔💔

[@saraludwick3097]

I think the kids having to use their own money for their treats is genius!!

[@drummerlovesbookworm9738]

I love the Farmer's Markets here in the Pacific NW. Do you have those? We are lucky enough to have them open here all year around!

[@TheMillsFamilyVlog]

There's one in the next town from us, but it's only open Saturday morning. That's not happening for me!

Hi ..don't know if it's been asked but I was wondering how you find a balance in being informed about health and herbs and food shopping .. do u ever feel conflicted about how you but foods ( gmo,Organics, raw, Whole Foods, processed etc) and then keeping healthy with homeopathy and holistic ways..totally not judging just curious how you manage those types of things ?

[@TheMillsFamilyVlog]

I intend to address this topic in June so I hope you won't mind waiting for a real discussion on it till then. The short answer now is, no, I don't feel conflicted at all. We welcome all types of food in our diets without fear or shame and, as you probably know, we have good reason for this. I hope you'll keep watching so we can have a proper conversation about it when the time comes!

[@S.Patierno]

Andrea Mills I look forward to the video .. 😊

[@fleurmp3820]

Any thoughts on labelling black socks?

[@elizabethkenyon1263]

A silver marker?

[@leilyhaddad]

Did you choose the colours for the kids? Has any of them expressed displeasure with their colour or are they just fine with it because they grew up with those colours?

[@TheMillsFamilyVlog]

They're just used to the color they have. We've done it this way since we had two kids. Asher would probably have picked green rather than purple if given a choice, but he really doesn't care.

[@katjodaniels4233]

Does the $900 include toiletries and paper products?

[@TheMillsFamilyVlog]

No. I don't separate those things budget-wise, but my estimate for food only was $900. We've been spending somewhat less since I implemented my menu card system which is an added bonus that I didn't anticipate!

[@katjodaniels4233]

That's always a nice result!

[@lynnwilson2371]

What app do you use on your phone for a shopping list?

[@TheMillsFamilyVlog]

The one I use is called Out of Milk.

[@candiceconway5395]

Do y'all get any type of assistance? I'd guess even with a decent salary with 8 children you would qualify for wic/food.

[@katjodaniels4233]

Candice Conway She has mentioned in other videos that they do not receive any assistance. I believe it's a personal decision.
