Stocking Stuffers & Everything Else ║ Large Family Shop with Me │ Nov. 2018

[@JBunny345]

I still go back and watch these shopping videos because she is so gentle and soothing to watch

[@PamMerriman-p1z]

I catch myself watching these old videos because I miss hearing and seeing her and how sweet, humble, kind and loving she was to all, she really taught us all how to be kind , humble and how to love others and how her love was unconditional to her family , miss getting tips for the garden , learned so much about how to grow vegetables . God gained a beautiful angel.

[@brittanyC_]

This was her last Christmas. I'm so glad her babies will have these videos to look back on 😭😭😭

[@evacameron6288]

Who's last Christmas?

[@alisoncameron4937]

@@evacameron6288 Andrea Mills

[@karenkaren2772]

I wonder if this was the start of her health issues. Andrea has such a pleasant and soothing way about her. I think a lot of people would learn a lot from her, you mightn’t agree with her ways but she didn’t put you down and wasn’t rude when she disagreed with you or did something for a particular reason. I think a great loss, not just to her family.

[@sarahbeckman8068]

Andrea's voice and demeanor was so calming. She made you feel like everything was alright. Not an easy feat for someone who struggles with anxiety. I have her shopping hauls on rotation regularly to calm me down.

[@TheMillsFamilyVlog]

Yes, she did exactly that, not having that around the s jarring.

[@amy.thomson1989]

I whole heartedly agree. The last few days have been especially anxious for me so have had Andrea on in the background while I’ve been going about my day ❤

[@notyourmama1280]

I am so thankful your baby girl will be able to watch this someday. Precious memories smiling at Mom💕

[@debbiewilson2247]

They worked so hard at raising their family & seeing that all the kids needs were met. What a great family ❤

[@nanwade8486]

So happy the mills children can always see these videos and see how special their mom was. Thru these Hannah will know her mom.

[@patriciapolhemus8425]

I sure love this family. Tom, there are many of us who understood Andrea and want to be there for you, as much as we can.

[@theopkingdom3433]

This year, I decided to do categories for each child: Something you want, something you need, something to wear, something to read, something to play, something to do (an actual activity) and something to learn/make. And stocking stuffers. I thought this would be a neat way to limit and organize gifts...

[@Amadorcrew]

This popped in my news feed 😔 I sure miss her 💜 I re-watch all her videos your are missed RIP Andrea

[@christinephillips3435]

I still think it's so sad that such a beautiful lady passed away I am watching all the older videos she was a special lady .

[@hearsthewater]

I am so sorry that you were sick, Andrea. I had a kidney stone last May and it made me not able to think very well for a while too! As I watched Thomas come back in from loading groceries to check on Hannah, it made me think that we should all have someone that loves us as much as he loves his little sister. And now, as I am writing this, I remembered that we do. How blessed are we?

[@Srchubeck8]

I, too, am sorry about your kidney stone Andrea. My husband had one of those around thanksgiving and it wasn't pleasant for him at all. Hope you all had a good Christmas.

[@000fruitloop]

I think these videos have become a relaxing form of therapy for me. Especially the checking out part. Love y’all!

[@theopkingdom3433]

No joke. There's something SO relaxing about the music, etc...

[@truthliesx]

I always save these types of videos to watch before I go to sleep Lol

[@jcbmama5016]

Same here!!

[@samanthar9526]

I am still so sad that she passed away, Tom is doing such a great job with the whole family. ❤️

[@donnaturnbull1190]

Money saving tip, buy Christmas fabric when the sales are on in the new year and make reuseable gift bags that will last for years and years and are so quick and easy to use for wrapping. Draw strings are all you need or ribbons. We have done a few every year and its great, also good for the environment as a bonus.

[@spaghettiplease]

That's such a great idea!

[@theopkingdom3433]

That's genius. If I ever learn to use my sewing machine, I'm going to do that! :)

[@kafo9263]

Donna Turnbull I have done that for my nine children. Different sized bags and I even hand stitched their name tags to pin to each bag. Each year the bags are mixed so they don’t know which is which.

[@MustangSally2.0]

Am back watching sweet Andrea once more.

[@hannahrebecca8410]

I loved hearing you speak about not buckling to the pressure to do Christmas perfectly at the beginning. I've been sick a few years but this is the first Christmas that I won't be able to eat at the table and some other bits to do Christmas "properly" God has given me the phrase "it's annual" to help me through the season- got to keep remembering there will be many more celebrations & they don't have to be perfect! (I hope you've healed well from the kidney stone- I admire you managing it all from home!)

[@carriecunningham4677]

Best shopping moment of 2018 - when Tom lays down on the floor at Walmart to smash the pillows down to fit under cart. Always makes me laugh! Merry Christmas and here's to more funny shopping moments in 2019!

[@mariabassas8714]

It’s funny how Tom fits everything so organized in the cart, 😂 OCD. 😊😂

[@carolemclemore6140]

My husband has covid so Christmas this year feels so lonely without our family... but I knew watching Andrea and Tom would improve my mood. I'm just going to binge watch all of their videos that I can... love this family because they are truly a family! ❤❤❤

[@christinemcconnell3753]

Life goes on even if it isn't our idea of how it should be. Sometimes the unexpected and unplanned can make the best and everlasting memories. Kids in the home make the magic of th season even more special. Enjoy them. They grow up so quickly.

[@annettemcmullin928]

I just found this vidio what happend to the mom

[@leslieiannottacronin2176]

That was fun watching and listening to Hannah “talk.”

[@nancymartin3441]

I read once that we ruin special times by having an idea in our heads of how it should be instead of doing our best and letting the moment happen. So true. Glad you are on the mend, enjoy this Christmas season and may God bless your family. Love your videos!!

[@cee6097]

Aw Hannah is getting so chatty. Growing up so fast!

[@debbiemorgan6701]

Congratulations, Tom! I honestly didn't think it was possible to get everything in the cart this time. LOL!

[@thefranks8726]

Watching baby Hannah’s sleepy eyes was just the sweetest thing :)

[@KG-ub7uk]

Baby Hannah trying to sleep while Tom moved the cart was precious lol. I got a good giggle.

[@christinagonzalez4303]

I wish you guys had a bulk grocery store. That would be the funniest thing to watch

[@ChineseSuperstar]

Andrea♡ This world needs more hearts like yours. I'm sure you're smiling down on Tom and your children. Y'all are such a beautiful family. Love and Blessings from Hawaiʻi.

[@indigoblue4791]

I hope you are feeling fully recovered Andrea. 🌸💕

[@mom2emsopmax]

Tom cracks me up! Got it all in one cart 😂

[@FynnsMumma]

Christmas isn’t going to be anything like we’re used to this year, my dad had heart bypass surgery 3 days ago after a heart attack which has had him in hospital for 2 weeks now. He’ll be home from hospital just before Christmas, so it’ll be a quite one, but aslong as I have all my family together I really don’t mind :). The only present I needed was to have my dad home and on the road to recovery

[@karbear26]

SAMii94xo hope your dad recovers quickly!

[@jcbmama5016]

Best wishes to your father in his recovery. Be sure to spoil him when he gets home! Maybe give him a bell to ring for anytime he might need something!😉

[@FynnsMumma]

karbear26 Thankyou! He’s a tough old bugger so I think he should recover well :).

[@FynnsMumma]

JCB MaMa Thankyou!! I appreciate it, we will definitely be spoiling him and my Mum, (she’s been at the hospital with him the whole time, it’s 8 hours away) I don’t live at home anymore so I should get him the bell 😂, Mum will want to shove it where the sun don’t shine though!

[@mariasaucedo2527]

Thank the Lord 🙏 u guys could pass a Christmas together we couldn't my grandma passed away 😢😢😢😢 and her funeral was Xmas Eve it's so hard waking up and not having her around

[@debbieomi]

Miss Hannah sure is a talker! I love hearing all that baby chatter!

[@TheKathy]

So excited to see how your projects turn out! Happy holidays to you and your family!

[@foxsea451]

I love your shopping videos! Tom really is entertaining with his stacking everything. Hannah is so precious! You are the best parents and take such good care of your kids and extended family. Many blessings to all in this wonderful Christmas season!

[@pinkprincess347]

Baby Hanna is absolutely adorable! God bless your beautiful family ! Merry Christmas

[@ItsAWonderfulLife]

Baby Hannah is such a good little shopper. Landry turned 3 mos today and despises being in her carseat. I always wear her when we go out (which I Iove) but it's a pain when you have a lot of stops. I liked what you said in the beginning about how the less you try to make something perfect the more everyone enjoys it. It's so very true and something I need to remember.

[@daisyjane221]

Victory for Tom! I gotta say that I was a wee bit doubtful, but you pulled it off! So sweet to see the boys jump into action to put everything away. Hope you are in the mend, Andrea.

[@valerielain3171]

Happy Holidays Andrea you take it easy. The one thing your kids will remember when they grow up. Will be the gatherings of the family and dinner. Do what you can do and let God handle the rest. Take Care.

[@Charis6540]

[@anitatucker8812]

Thanks for taking us along on date night. Merry Christmas to you and your family Andrea.

[@mimiwhite5762]

Merry Christmas sweet, Andrea. Prayers over you feeling better. ❤️

[@brielynn]

I love watching these videos. I think when you have to drive further to get groceries, etc. you are more thoughtful. Where I live, we have delivery from nearly every grocery and even Costco type stores. We end up with way too much. I am still also used to cooking for 4-6 people, but sisters have moved away, and my parents are retired between here and Florida, so I have to rethink shopping and cooking for 1-2 people. I need a houseful of kids to cook for. 😂

[@aliciafreak0007]

Hi Andrea I love watching your family espially when u take us to Walmart love seeing what you get for the kids it gives me ideas for my 3.5 year old girl. Love fr Canada and merry Christmas to you guys

[@lyssamariev]

I look forward to these, so relaxing. Can’t wait to see what the kids are getting for Christmas!

[@53TERRYT]

Way to go, Tom, you loaded that buggy

[@cheneyacres4210]

My husband and I have 10 children, we have "Wal-Mart dates" as well, lol. I love watching Tom as he packs the cart. He must have had a lot of practice at tetris!

[@tobydog2944]

For a moment, I thought Tom was going to lay on the sugar to flatten it. Towards the end, when Hannah was going to sleep and had her head to the side, she looked just like Claudia when she is mad !! Lol!! Have a great Christmas Mills family.

[@jcbmama5016]

Tom is the trolley king.😀. Did some of the children stay up late so that they could help with the shopping when you got home? I love how your children help. I hope you do a video on Christmas Day.

I use Apple Cider vinegar mixed with water in a spray bottle to clean window, glass, any smooth surface. Counter, inside oven, and much more. No smell, no chemicals. Cleans better than any window cleaner I've ever tried.

Always a joy to watch your videos, of course, but on an unrelated note: I've been going through your Amazon affiliate store to add things to our wedding registry, and I'm having an absolutely splendid time doing so!

[@cassandraaleckson5144]

I have to tell myself the same thing about the holidays to i try to prefect every little detail. Love your video as always 💕😍

[@TheMillsFamilyVlog]

It's a tragedy to have a parent get cancer. I lost my mom in 2010. Please don't make the mistake of letting that tragedy steal this joyous time from you. If this turns out to be your last Christmas with your father (and let us pray that it's not!), would you rather that you spent the holiday having a joyful time with him or would you rather remember that no one could celebrate his last Christmas with him because they were too sad?

[@smilyblessings1315]

Exactly

[@TheMillsFamilyVlog]

Aimee, I pray that you will be strong to carry the joy through this holiday season for your family.

[@TheMillsFamilyVlog]

Oh, it's okay. Sometimes we just need someone to know we're hurting. Prayers for your dad and all of you.

[@Blessedbears]

Sitting here late at night, rocking Roman and finally able to watch an ENTIRE video of yours! Hannah is such a precious little gal.. they all are though! Have a blessed Christmas! I have a suggestion and forgive me if I missed it if you already did one..but a chatty video on how you are handling your older kids growing up! I cry so often now that my oldest is 15... Sigh.... How do you parent him and deal with this season? it's so hard now that they have their own opinions and independent needs... Just an idea for down the road. Hugs and Christmas blessings dear Lady!

[@TheMillsFamilyVlog]

That's a good topic for a video. Thomas and I were running some errands together today and having a good visit and I said to him at one moment that I've never been a mom to an almost 17 year old, so this is all new to me!

[@jeanmarcks6269]

An idea you may to try is to buy wrapping ppr bows Christmas cards the day after Christmas for 50 % off! Within a week or two it goes down to 75. % off to 90% off! In the bigger stores inventory lasts longer! I got my tree for 90 % off! Saves money!

[@albertabyers7157]

have you guys thought about adding a addition on your house. As the kids get older it is going to feel more cramped. if you were to add a big room for the living area then use your living area you have now as the dinning room that would open up your kitchen more. you could even add a island in the middle.

[@TheMillsFamilyVlog]

We'd love to, but additions aren't cheap and we'd rather not borrow money. So we make our house work as it is. No one's complaining; we're pretty happy with the way things are.
