MOM OF 12 MEAL PREP MORNING ROUTINE

[@sandralivingafulllife2720]

I truly enjoy watching you pack the lunches for your kid's. I had 12 of my 14 grandkids for the summer and making different sandwiches every day. The breakfast was the most some wanted oatmeal, some cereal and some waffles never all the same ,I enjoyed it tho. They are all gone home and I am a happy grandmother with lovely memories.🤗🤗🤗

[@jcam5064]

What a joyful blessing for all of you!!!

[@dianacruz4514]

I envy you! I have 3 granddaughters and would LOVE to have them stay with me for the summer. I’m happy for you.

[@j-bq5nc]

that’s so sweet. some of my best memories are from staying with my grandma while my parents went on vacation.

[@mommyof3_908]

Wow! Sounds like you did an amazing job! ❤ so blessed!

[@Spartacus_Snakeplissken1]

That's very sweet aw. 🫂 🤗

[@abbyace7771]

The love you have for your kids is amazing As a child that didnt get much of anything thank u for loving respecting nurturing and building your kids up Thank u for letting them blossom as themselves and nurturing them individually and for remembering the little things im sure it makes them feel special. Yeacuvmade 12 lunches but each 1 is personalized for the child I love it

[@Italian_LA_P.A]

It’s definitely not ridiculous to feel accomplished after lunches are made! I understand about Dayshawn saying he has nothing to pack because I have a 12yr old and he NEVER has clothes even though I ALWAYS buy them 😂 I don’t know how you do all the extracurricular activities and CONGRATULATIONS NEVEAH

[@Teppi9076]

Even though I work a full time job, and live and care for my mom with Alzheimer's, Alicia inspires me with how dedicated and involved she is with her children, and with how much she gets done every day! Josh as well. When i want to give up, I watch this and remember that I can do it, no matter how hard it gets.

[@carolc2607]

I understand. I cared for my parents before they passed. It can be hard sometimes. I didn't realize how tired I was until my dad passed 4 years after my mom. I would do it again in a heart beat. You can do it. I will keep you in my prayers 🙏💕

[@Teppi9076]

@@carolc2607 Thank you so much.

[@cgoodwin5928]

Your videos are instrumental in helping me calm my daily anxiety and feel more balanced! Watching you do even the most mundane tasks inspires me to do the same! Thank you for sharing regularly! You and your family are an absolute delight to watch!! P.S. PLEASE give those adorable chickens ALL the veggie/fruit scraps (don't dump them in the trash!). The chicks will love every bit you toss their way 🥰 Edit: I should always watch until the very end before commenting! Thanks for giving the strawberry scraps to the chickens! I retract part of my initial comment 😉

[@coreybarnhart635]

I find so much joy in watching you be so happy to be a mother. So many people think you cannot be fulfilled as just a mom, and sometimes with people I feel so shy about talking about being a SAHM and being fully happy and content. I’m not saying it’s the only way I know many people who so enjoy their work and I think that’s wonderful too, but to see you happy to wake up early and provide for your children is so wonderful.

[@desiraykellum6483]

Your always so organized and in great spirits , love your videos . Your an inspiration to so many . My husband and I struggle with infertility and want children , after your videos we have reached out to our local foster care center , and getting signed up . The love you have for each of your kids biological or adopted is so beautiful. ❤

[@christie8822]

Theses videos literally heal my inner child ❤️ Thankyou for the hard work you put into us as viewers ❤️

[@purplewitchapothecary]

I know. I love the individual sandwiches. Everyone gets what they want. It's precious. My mother had 2 kids and everything was done with resentment.

[@christie8822]

@@purplewitchapothecary so sorry hun.❤️ my mum wasn’t there for me too. Instead treated me like an object that she could inflect pain on. So I parted my ways years ago. And lived with my aunt and uncle who now I consider my parents. I have a almost two year old son and moved to a different country i feel at peace now. But theses still heal me in a way that i feel so happy that there is real parents like her and her husband who treat kids how they are meant to be and showing the world that also. Because i know when i was with her it didn’t feel right because she would treat my siblings different but I didn’t consider it as abuse till i left to take care of her mother/my nana after my pop passed away thats when i fully understood what was happening was wrong!. So i see it this also as an example of how mother and father should be and how i am to my son and future kids if i have any❤️

[@purplewitchapothecary]

@@christie8822 my mother wasn't bad, necessarily. She just didn't do things as if she were happy or excited to be a mother. I really have no reason to complain, comparatively my childhood was good. I'm sorry that your mother wasn't what you needed 😔

Hi Alicia! I love when you post these routines, it’s so much fun to watch them in the morning when I’m getting ready for work/eating breakfast! Have a great day!

[@kristyhite775]

I must say since I've started watching your videos/vlogs especially the meal prepping I've been cooking a lot more 🙂. I'm definitely going to take some of your techniques to make it easier for when my son goes back to school. I'm going to be packing his lunch this year. You are an inspiration in more ways than one. Thanks for sharing your life with us 🤗

[@shannonflaherty2689]

Just wanna say the fact you make everyone sandwich what they like is amazing! Im from a family of 5 and my parents said you get what you get and youll like it or dont eat. So i love your dedication to making everyone happy and allowing them to be individuals.

Ever thought of streaming these mornings on Twitch? 💛 I think people would love to tune into this every morning to start their day with a little company. 💛 Love these videos. You are amazing! 💛

[@shirleykamenar3302]

You are the most efficient, organized and capable woman!! In thirty minutes you prepared food for 24+. Making Bagged Lunches are the biggest accomplishment of all👌🏼 Kitchen tip: using a rubber spatula to get the last of the batter from the bowl and measuring cup would likely yield a large waffle at the end - makes for easier cleanup too.💖

[@oliveuuuu]

alicia you are absolutely amazing and genuinely a great mom! watching your videos really help with my anxiety, and are overall super enjoyable to watch! ty for being you

[@diannaboas7445]

Here's a trick for you...want blueberry or wild berry pancakes? Add 1 package flavoried of muffin mix to your pancake mix. (The just add water muffin mix) My grand babies love them!! There are several different flavors to choose from.

[@DoughertyDozen]

Thanks for the tips!🧡🧡🧡

Good Morning Alicia!!! Im the girl with 4 littles and a 5th on the way! :) I hope you have a good day (you and your family)! I go to the baby doc in a few hours and I believe I get the exact date of induction! If she doesn’t come before then. Anyway, thank you for showing me that raising more kiddo’s is possible (mentally) and still just as fun no matter how many end up in our crew!

I can't believe how many waffles you made, using a waffle maker for me is like a Herculean task. Mad respect! EDIT: Not trying to compare myself to those who have to walk for miles to get basic necessities, I was legit just trying to show admiration for Alicia.

They love waffles but yes it’s a task 🤣 I usually try to make extra and freeze some but considering Bodhi ate 2 that didn’t happen!

I watch you religiously, and I think sometimes, I wish I could of done things like her . Have that many children, which I wanted , been that organized, But I look back and where I am today and that saying "God gives you what you can handle" comes to mind. I had my 3 children, I helped raise 4 nephews and 1 niece , and from the day they came into this world we've raised 3 grandchildren. Which my children easy, grandchildren not to bad, 4 nephews and 1 niece if they lived with me ,it would of been easier. I know I talk alot ,ok comment alot. But my point watching you it looks easy but dear I know it's not easy . You have also find a good way of finding a way to make money by including your children, and that has helped you with making their lifes fun. And you need that with all their special needs you need help , helping them . I hope you realize how many people you have helped

[@rebeccaturner4988]

Your amazing keeping all 12 kids happy. It’s so nice to see the differences and the same things that all the kids get. Especially when others don’t know the truth and what’s really going on. Go to fish place and jokingly ask for a leg of tuna (it’s a real thing)

[@rebeccalopez9776]

If your family is looking for a great pizza place in OC, I highly recommend Manco and Manco on 9th street boardwalk! Born and raised 20 mins. from OC and it's one of my favorite pizza places to go when I visit home! Hope you all have a fabulous time in OC!!

[@rebeccabastien6593]

I did Tae Kwon Do for the majority of my childhood(did wonders for my undiagnosed adhd). I don't know if your kids were studying the art or are in competitive Tae Kwon Do. I studied the art form and it was waaaayyy less time consuming, one 1.5hr class per week until I was high ranking and teaching. When studying the art form, it's more about technique and self defense rather than point systems. You move in rank based on what you have learned rather than how many fights you win. I feel much more confident walking around today as an adult, not because I "know how to fight" but because I know how to avoid it. It was the number one rule taught our self defense.

for around the world monday, I think maybe you guys would like a meal from my country. it's a french canadian dish, called chinese pie. it's made of ground beef, onions, mashed potatoes and corn. it's a BIG kid pleaser in Québec. it's very similar to a shepherd's pie

[@TheUrbanGoose13]

Pâté chinois, what the OP is alluding to, directly translates to “Chinese pie”. It is a very famous, comforting dish in Québéc. An authentic shepherd’s pie is made with ground lamb, not beef, and it certainly does not contain corn.
