This is not a negative comment. Why would you buy low carb for you kids? Its very expensive and most kids can eat just about anything. Im just curious? No judging intended.

[@juthasandholdtstryhn9567]

Carol Hensley It’s not for all the kids 🤗 Only the big ones who made their own choice about it 🤗

[@lolor6886]

I love your family, my you tube favorite. I noticed the puppy looked like it was running away from the children and looked a little frightened. Might be a little overwhelmed. Maybe needs a crate to go to for quite time.

[@barbarathompson9378]

The puppy is still a baby and needs a lot of sleep to be healthy. If handled to much she might become snippy.

[@lynneux]

Some puppy advice: You should put a limit on how much the kids are picking her up and carrying her around. It’s tempting to treat really small dogs like toys, but they are still dogs. We think that lots of cuddles will make them feel safer and loved, but too much handling will often result in a pup that becomes anxious and fearful. She needs to feel confident exploring on her own, and able to remove herself to a quiet place when needed. If she’s constantly held she can’t do this. Good luck!

[@nancyfarkas3592]

I agree. I volunteer in and ER waiting room and see a lot of kids with dog bites. Because they bothered the dog when it was eating or such. If an animal wants to be in your lap that is fine but other then that petting them should be enough.

[@MothGirl007]

Yes, please.

[@barbarathompson9378]

Please

[@Sherka55]

I love watching your videos and I love your family but I wish you would’ve gotten a bigger dog because it would’ve had a better chance of surviving 10 kids. You have to teach your kids not to keep pestering the dog that little dog was making circles in and being so frustrated because the little ones were chasing the dog it’s not good. The dog needs to have safe space and there is none in that whole house please consider having the older kids watch the little ones so they don’t pester the dog. Dogs usually don’t bite unless they’re put up against the corner and tormented by kids. The kids don’t mean it they just want to play with the dog but everybody needs their own space.

[@goldtwiggy6308]

Totally agree, the dog looks afraid of this all noise, and trying to escape, the dog needs to have his own space, place where he can go when he is tired of noise and children, if children will chase him all day he can start being aggressive and bite to defend herself.

[@lindawilson290]

Hi, Sarah, I'd love if Solo did a "tour" of your garden!

[@nickymock]

Totally agree, shopping isn’t fun anymore 🙁 I’m not much of a shopper but enjoy food shopping. Not anymore I haven’t been since March. I’ve been ordering online and my husband picks it up on his way home from work. Guess it’s easier but miss looking at new products etc.

[@wigglewomyn1]

Nicky Mock , I agree with you. Food shopping was my favorite thing to do. If I was upset or in a bad mood, I could go food shopping and look at new items and in about 30-45 minutes, I would be feeling fine again BUT since March, it isn’t any fun any more between shortages, masks, and fear of getting sick. I’ve been making lists for my partner or daughter to pick up but we usually don’t get 1/4 of it each week ☹️

[@MothGirl007]

Personally, I'm just grateful that I have the means and the ability to get food and the shortages have forced me to try new things that I wouldn't have otherwise and I've discovered some cool new things to eat.

We are a family of six that recently switched to plant based due to hubby’s medical issues. One of my kids favorite meals is vegan nachos. We swap out “veggie crumbles” for the ground beef. I mix it with canned diced tomatoes, pinto beans and taco seasoning. We also use vegan “nacho cheese” and “sour cream”. They also like the Gardein brand chickenless chicken fingers. Hubby’s favorite vegan meal is tomato pie. It is a Sunny Anderson recipe I found on Pinterest that I made a few vegan swaps with some of the ingredients.

Sarah, I have 2 dogs that are same as your puppy and I was truly concerned watching how the younger children were chasing /interacting with the puppy...training a young puppy is so important for future life...think about taking time to make a plan to train the puppy instead of just throwing the puppy into the mix of a large family.

[@laurawilliams3875]

I would think that they do have a plan. They talked about this awhile back. If they ever get a pet. The day they picked the puppy up, said Belle is responsible. Training the puppy & teaching the little ones on how to interact with the puppy. Gonna take more than a few days. All we saw was maybe a 10 second clip of puppy & kids.

[@melissadaniel744]

@@laurawilliams3875 yup. Everyone is acting like they're being so irresponsible after a few seconds

[@vanessasfamily]

@@laurawilliams3875 i defo agree. Reading the comments of a FOOD HAUL you would think there would be more about food but 90% are people complaining about the way the children are with the dog. When they picked the dog up she admitted they all have much to learn about it and after just 1 week everyone expects children under the age of 5 to have learnt how to pick it up and interact with it. Many adults and older children get so excited seing a cute little dog and end up chasing and picking it up (i have a tiny dog so speaking from experience) my 7 year old still makes mistakes with ours and weve had her for a year and half now. A 10 second clip of a very young child picking up a dog after a few days cannot tell you everything about there interactions with the dog or the safety of the dog. Also i think i heard belle say not to pick the dog up

Getting a puppy can be such a wonderful experience for all, but please, please take the time to train the puppy and children together. The first 6 mos is like having a newborn in the house. The puppy is not a toy, and rules need to be established early for all, humans and pets alike. Routine in all aspects of puppy care will make it a wonderful addition to your loving family ie. Play routines, sleep routines, feeding routines, toileting, behavioural training, just like kids!

[@jeannesauvage117]

One of our favorite vegan meals that we've been eating since my daughter was tiny: saute kale (or chard or collard greens) with a bit of garlic, cook lentils, caramelize onions (just cook them until they are mushy and sweet). Then each person gets to layer these things over pasta in varying amounts to their taste. And top with soy sauce (we use gluten-free tamari). So simple and yet so yummy!

[@homesteadingwiththeangafam2158]

Here in Kenyan coast we can't buy bulk like that, the heat and humidity spoils food so fast, luckily we go to the market every other day. I really enjoyed your haul.

[@jennifermckenna9909]

We would love to see another tour of your garden! Here in Kansas I've been struggling with mine.

[@marykirkpatrick9382]

How about making a rule that only certain people are allowed to pick up the puppy...Belle, parents, Judah just to prevent injuries to the tiny puppy. Also, maybe have a set amount of time for the little girls to spend with the puppy by sitting down and learning about the puppy's needs, how fragile she is and that puppies need quiet time just like little children. The puppy might become defensive with so much picking up and chasing her at such a young age because she doesn't know what else to do and you wouldn't want the puppy to start having behavior problems. Please know this comes from a place of concern and love for your family and the puppy. :)

[@trjannerothrock4190]

They have shelf stable milks. The cost may be slightly higher overall but a potential alternative. Or make your own almond and oat milks as well

[@sharongypsydove6080]

Yes I go to Dollar Tree and by the whole milk there, it's a quart carton for $1.00. It may seem expensive but it's great for having on your shelf...They have whole milk 2% skim and Soy in 1 quart cartons..tastes like real milk, Not like that nasty stuff thats powdered you have to mix with water. If I want regular milk in a 1/2 gallon my daughter brings it for my grandson..but if she forgets. I have 8 to 10 of them on my shelf in my pantry at any given time I buy a couple a month and they last like 5 years...

Chickpea pasta from my grandma(I modified it to a Crock-Pot version since I work outside of the home some days, but you can do it on the stove top for faster cooking). Olive oil, minced or whole garlic cloves, lots of chopped onion, salt and pepper couple cans of drained and rinsed chickpeas. Let cook 8 hours low, add cooked pasta and vegan parmesan cheese. (Could substitute cooked zucchini noodles for the pasta) it is one of my favorites. I also use morning star farm veggie crumbles, or sometimes chickpeas and black beans to make tacos just with the taco seasoning kits. They do make vegan cheese and Aldi does sell it 🤗 And I love black beans to make black bean burgers. Just a couple cans of rinsed drained black beans, cooked chopped onion and garlic, seasoned bread crumbs, A1 sauce, mix form into patties and l spritz with olive oil, salt and pepper, and you can skillet fry or bake in the oven, flipping half way. Good luck with your vegan week 🤗

You may already do this, but maybe you could have a small whiteboard for the small snack, or random things the kids want and that way if anyone in your family has bad memory (like me) they can write it down while it is on the mind. You can pick and choose what seems reasonable to get

[@motogee8363]

Try red lentil dal with rice! Very simple, quick and healthy (the great trifecta!). You can put spinach in or tomatoes. I also eat chili sin carne a lot which is equally as easy and you can eat it with bread on the side. Coconut yoghurt is the best alternative to dairy yoghurt, I find, if you want to put a splash of it on top. Chickpea curry always works very easily as well. And chickpeas roasted in spices and salt are an easy and delicious snack! You could also sprinkle those over pasta to get the protein in the meal. I personally try to not eat the meat alternatives so much because they're full of additives and mainly consist of waters, you might find it interesting to try, though. Legumes and tofu are the way to go! Lentil stews, lentil bolognese, lentil salad - there's a lot of easy options that aren't actually that different from what you eat already, you just swap out the protein :)

Chickpea curry is a super simple vegan recipe! Same with a lot of lentil and bean stews or soups. Meat substitutes are expensive but kind of fun to try out. Trader Joes meatless meatballs are one of the more affordable options.For lunches pbjs are vegan, as is spaghetti without cheese. Keep an eye out for honey/substitute maple syrup in things like granola or oatmeal. For me I found that dairy sneaks into things way more often than meat, so keep an eye out in bread, crackers, tortillas, that kind of thing!

hello vegan here :) lots of asian recipes can easily be made vegan and also low carb like pad thai (roce noodles, veggies, peanut sauce), fried rice made with cauliflower rice (also with veggies), i also cut chinese cabbage in quarters and roast them in the oven with some soy sauce and smoked paprika. you will just need a whole lot of veggies for the week 😂 some easy classics that your kids might like are also pasta dishes, vegan chili, lentil dhaal, maybe burgers with homemade bean patties, curries. try marinating tofu and fry super crispy (dont move it around in the pan too much and squeeze out all the liquid beforehand). have fun and all the best for you!

My favorite go to meal is a vegan curry. I ad a lot of veggies such as red paprika, courgette, carrot, union and garlic together with a can of tomatoes and coconut milk. And chickpeas with left over lentils or beans (only chickpeas works also) I ad curry powder and other spices. As a topping fresh mint with some oil and fresh cherry tomato’s. Delicious and super easy! Throw everything together and let it simmer for a little bit.

[@coolnessnumber1]

Easy vegan meals: stir fry with lots of veggies, noodles (rice noodles are great) and tofu. Chile with rice. Lentil curry. Fried rice with tofu for protein. vegan hamburgers and fries as a fun meal. breakfast- toast, cereal with non dairy milk. Salads are great, you can add in black beans or lentils or quinoa to make it a full meal with protein. If you're into meat substitutes then there are lots of goods ones that act like chicken or beef. Smoothies are great, tofu scrabble instead of scrambled eggs. There are endless ideas. You can also probably make some regular recipes and just substitute out animal products with vegan alternatives.

If pup doesn't have a crate yet it definitely needs one. A quiet warm place where children ARE NOT allowed so she can recuperate and be left alone.Teach your little kids how to correctly hold a puppy, make them ask if its ok before they pick it up. A small dog like that can be easily injured if dropped or stepped on. Your house (although fun and filled with love) would be extremely overwhelming to any young puppy. You need to train your kids as much as you need to train your new pet. Set some limits or you will have a problem relationship between your new dog and your family.

Definitely try using jack fruit. If you slow cooker it with barbecue sauce it can be like pulled pork. It can also be a substitute for meat in tacos. The other thing that's good is grilled portobello mushrooms. Use them like hamburgers. The last thing is taking carrots and marinating them in a liquid smoke marinade. Then grill them like hotdogs.

How often do you all eat out?

[@dcsandoval58]

They have an eating out budget but I don’t think they ate out often before the pandemic. Now I think that budget is for household stuff but I’m not sure

[@ella_encantada]

P C thanks! I’m just curious how much it would cost when they do eat at restaurants.

[@Elena-er7zp]

me too. i think they eat outside food more lately than they share especially since Seth arrived. I mean, there are only so many hours in a day.

[@trjannerothrock4190]

And an alternative to butter storage is to make ghee. Which is actually shelf stable vs taking freezer space.

How much cash back do you get every year from Sam’s club? I just got the executive membership from Costco because they said I probably will get a check at the end of the year because we spend so much. I have a family of 2. Lol

[@teyrich1]

We did the executive membership at Costco also. We have a family of 7. Our check we got back was about $115 and change. So we only have to pay like $5 to renew our membership..well that's what we are doing with the check anyway..

[@MomOfMany]

This is a good question! I thought we spent so much and I only got $45 back

[@juliesurtman254]

We got a check from Costco for $580 🤦🏼‍♀️

[@mamagoad5]

The prices ARE going up at Aldi. And ours was out of stuff again this week. We do a 3-4 week emergency storage too but I have to alternate what I get each month because sometimes there's nothing left. Oddly though it only happens from one store to the next around here.

[@bethany493]

When I was shopping this week I noticed that prices have gone way up. A dollar per item in many cases... 😬

[@ButItsVegan]

A dollar?!?! WOW!!! 😒

[@musicaldork13]

Omgg. I am so excited to hear that you’re doing a vegan challenge. I’m vegan and I can’t wait to see it. I would suggest a vegetable stir-fry (possibly add tofu) or chana masala, for simple vegan recipes!

[@rebeccalunsford9372]

Shopping has just become such a pain now.

[@ButItsVegan]

Totally agree!

[@kimowen3604]

I enjoy turnips or parsnips in with my roasts. Also seasoned hard veggies baked under chicken are pretty awesome. Love the new puppy.

[@joshuaandterriebrown8169]

I would check out KZbinr "Caitlin Shoemaker". She is vegan and her vlog is all about vegan recipes.

[@W.Rain.]

Yes, in my country the 95 usd purches would have cost a bit more. We also felt an increase in grocery prices as well.

[@rudiannwildgoose-laing4629]

No dairy(milk, sour cream, cottage cheese, cheese and yogurt), that vegan challenge is going to be interesting for your family.😳😊

[@princesslulu5795]

Cant have mayonnaise either (has eggs)

[@rudiannwildgoose-laing4629]

Hello from New Zealand. Every time I watch these grocery videos I’m constantly surprised how big the package sizes are in America 😅 that cottage cheese!

Please work on proper puppy handling for the kids! Both for the dog’s health and to prevent any nipping/biting from distress if they were to accidentally hurt the pup with an improper pickup. Much love ❤️

[@traceyzvirblis4909]

Sarah you look more beautiful than usual today 🥰 Love your pink lipstick 💄 such a great summer colour.

I Am Going To Sam's Club This Month Because Mom Has A Lot Of Money For Sam's Club This Month.

[@TheHutchins88]

Me too!! I love when I have extra to shop there. It’s my second favorite store (Kroger is my favorite) lol

[@janiceharris6219]

My husband and I went shopping at Sam's club yesterday. I loved it but spent over 330.00. My budget was 275. Oh well, i won't have to go back for a while.

[@wigglewomyn1]

Amanda Cartrette I had a Sam’s Club membership for over 20 years but last year they closed both Sams’s Club stores in our city 😔. I am still upset over it.

[@rebeccareed2652]

On your ketchup since you shop at Sam's club or Costco buy your Heinze ketchup in the large #6 can, save and clean out a empty gallon milk jug use a funnel and a church key type can/bottle opener and pour it in the jug, just refill your smaller bottles as needed. I did that when my son was younger him and his dad ate a lot of ketchup! Hope this helps! Love your family and channel!!

[@yaznib2169]

Please try to take care of puppy. Plenty of comments already here for ya.

[@deniart2656]

Try curry chick peas or curry butter beans with chopped spinach or kale. You can add coconut milk, garlic, onions, a little ginger, potatoes, carrots and whatever spices or veggies you like. Serve over caulirice or brown rice. I think the kids would like that for a filling vegan meal😋

[@OK-hi5ym]

I attended boarding school and we always had a week where they took away the silverware (except spoons) and had us practice eating with chopsticks. Might be a fun challenge for your family, maybe just one day?

[@dorethyjohns8757]

Here in Az our road trips are to different cities in Az, Vacation will be in Mesa Az before kiddos go back to school on the 17 of August! Keep us in your prayers! Dorian gets to start kindergarten early! SKYLAR will be in Preschool at a church affiliated church.

Now Costco's then have a lot of tissue but you're only allowed one pack but you can get one of each brand Costco brand which is Kirkland and if they have any other brands you can get one of each brand and yes our store just got big bags of beans in and rice I am doing the same I'm trying to do long-term storage have you thought about doing flower and things like that in mylar bags and big buckets you can buy the buckets actually at Walmart in their deli section my Walmart I pick them up on Sundays and the lady stays them for me and I'll pay a dollar a bucket and I'm putting 25 lb bags of sugar up flour and just different things like that if you put an oxygen absorber in it the flour and things will last about 20 to 30 years you can get all these things on Amazon not for sure about right now they do still have some stuff just go on there and search mylar bags and oxygen absorber you need the oxygen absorbers that are 300 CC's per 25 lb bag and that will keep your food good like your flour your macaroni things like that for years to come just make sure the things that you are putting in the mylar bags are milk and butter free you also can do cereals Like Rice Krispies and things like that and you also can do Potato I'm not for sure what brand of potatoes you have in your area but I just use the Great Value brand just bought several boxes of those and I was your day with the mylar bags is seal them with a straightener or a iron can you just run it across the top get all the air out though are some great ideas for long-term storage

Take it you also watch jamarell Stewart as she is doin all this just now but you have to watch as you cant put 25 pounds of anything in buckets think the pasta is less the 25 pounds. Also dont think you can out potatoes in them buckets

[@lovebug1891]

@@kirstyletham5597 well actually you can put the instant potatoes in there but if you had a read my thing I said put them in a mason jar and seal them off with a oxygen absorber but it has to be plain potatoes nothing with milk or butter and yes I watch her and she put 20 lb of pasta and I put 25 lb of sugar so yes you actually can put 25 lb in buckets and I'm pretty well up on all this stuff because I have been watching and studying about it so I think I know a little but thank you

[@RunWithScissorsSewingOriginal]

Have you thought about canning? To help with the food storage and save on freezer space?
