Trip to the ZOO and UPSIDE DOWN TATCHOS for Dinner - I share the recipe.

[@marilynnew2189]

Bri, you are hitting it out of the ball park with your vlogs. I just thought you should hear it from a very long-time supporter.

[@Brifromscratch]

Wow, thank you!

[@bwhatever2010]

Oh Royal how precious with his little moo sounds. Wilder is so smart. Love how he remembered to pay you back. What a blessing to be able to create such awesome memories with your family. Your children are so well behaved and so helpful with each other. Love your new spin on your channel...makes my day to watch you all.

[@chrishopper4375]

Bri I hate I am just now thinking of this but my company has passes to the NC Zoo and if you want to go back later in the year I would gladly send them to you to use. They let up to 6 in.

[@Jane5720]

Wow, 🎉 I’m sure that would be awesome for her and the Fam

[@sandyarcher8104]

What a great gift ticket to the Zio

[@bjo867]

How thoughtful

[@heatheroester6817]

They would love that!

[@bryanlloyd1099]

Awesome gift!

[@celticfiddle7605]

I enjoy watching you and your children Bri! They are such well behaved and loving children. The trip to the zoo was a brilliant idea. You are a very good teacher. Your calm and gentle control over every situation guarantees a happy and fun day. God bless you Bri.

[@sharonbrown2352]

Wilder's excitement was priceless!

[@janw491]

Bri, you seem so much more you now. It’s amazing watching you grow as a person. What a great example of a strong independent woman to give your lovely girls.

[@TheEmbrio]

Yes Bri, you get an award for getting everyone and everything packed and ready. Even if you get help from the older kids (award for raising them kind and helpful) or friends (award for being a good friend)

[@melindarankin3119]

Happiest Millionaire is one of my all time favorite movies!!!

[@cynthiatillman4171]

Oh Wilder 🤗😁 I love ALL your precious babies but Wilders enthusiasm in life makes my heart melt ❤ Bri, YOU are such a treasure to your beautiful family & I know God’s got WONDERFUL plans for you all! Just continue to keep the the faith sweetheart 🙏💖 Sending much love and hugs from Tennessee 🤗🧡

[@dayafeickert6752]

We were out of CC last week. My boy is 15 and in challenge 1, my girl is 9 and in foundations. Listen I’ve done the single mom thing 3 times while my husband was deployed with army, going out and doing things can be overwhelming and you did great. Keep it up strong mama. We will keep watching and supporting you. We love your videos

[@kathysultzbaugh3858]

Thank your husband for his service! Bless you and your family!

[@theresaherfindahl5781]

The babys are so allert and engaged! That impresses me!

[@janellevoigt5481]

Here's your info for the flamingos: Flamingos turn pink from eating shrimp and many other dietary sources such as blue-green algae and mollusk. This happens because shrimp contains the pigment called beta carotene which is responsible for the change in coloration.

[@CJ-vt9eu]

Interesting....am Kenyan,lived in Nakuru the home of flamingos,didn't know this...

[@5050TM]

​@@CJ-vt9eu Must be a beautiful place 🤩

[@lauragiannavola9597]

Joyful is such a good and cheerful helper! And I love that she watches/helps you cook. Good job, Mom!

[@Gojirella]

I don't know how you do it. I'm single, 40 this month, full time job and its just me and my old cat here. I feel I couldn't handle even one kid as a single mom. It's amazing what you do every day. Lots of love from Norway

[@kaydefreese7586]

Bri never ceases to amaze with all she does raising that children by herself.

[@amylynn2365]

What an awesome little helper already… raising him right… the whole family helps with everything…!!!!

[@renbeniyepthomi5061]

Wilder has the kindest face God bless all of your kids

[@shamancarmichael5305]

Bri, check with your local library for passes to local museums and parks! My library has them to check out and I think each pass is good for several people. There might be a waiting list, but you can check with your library for information! Also a good place for free events and concerts for kids! ☺

[@BrendaJMay]

It Was So Wonderful To See Yall Enjoying The Animals,Outdoors & Each Other!💯🥰 And So Happy😊😁👍 Much♥️Love🥰& 👑God🙏Bless🙏Yall😘

[@kesmarn]

I remember taking my kids from Ohio to Niagara Falls in Canada (by myself) when they were about 8 and 11 years old. I could hardly believe it myself when I managed to get that trip accomplished by myself. It was a turning point in my development as a woman who could "do things." ☺

[@starrcallaway4108]

Fun time! Tell Grace and Joy l appreciate how much they help their mom in so many instances. I really enjoyed sharing Wilder's excitement and Royal's mooing...precious!

[@easystreetwithjen]

Growing up, my parents always packed lunches to eat at the car, especially at Disney. It's now something that I do often, especially on road trips.

[@laurenmmendoza3215]

Also check your local library! In my neck of the woods, many libraries have passes to museums, aquariums & zoos!

[@Brifromscratch]

Our library offers discounts and passes to some museums.

[@bettieswanepoel1374]

I admire you. You are a wonderful mother. Love your videos!!

[@prarieborn6458]

Wow, I am 79 and I have not been to the zoo in ages. I had so much fun wih you and your kids today, I felt like I just tagged aong like another kid. Seeing the nursing mothers was a sweet surprise. Life, goes on , every spring new life comes forth. babies, tiny plants , each specie and creature bringing forth its own kind. I wished I could have some tachos and snuggle in for a movie with all of you. It brought back good memories of raising my 3 lititle ones, and being a single Mom, while my husband was away for long months at a time as a commercial fisherman. The dinner hour and early evenings were the most challenging and blessed. We would go out to eat at the Royal Fork cafeteria,, and drive around for a while, go down to the shoreline and watch the ferries, and the sunset, then home and watch tv and snuggle on the couch. In those days, kids could eat dinner at the RF for 10 cents per year of age and the food was fresh and good. Little Wilder is so astute for 4 yrs old!! his remark about the Lion planning his next meal !! took my breath away. And Royal, oh my goodness, figuring out how to help Mommy…!! Your children are so intelligent and loving, You are such a good Mother. ❤

[@katehopkinsbrent5573]

We made those last night for supper, we call them cheese tatoes, i craved them all day after watching you make them- we hadn't had them in awhile : ) LOVE whats the cow say 🥰 Just precious !

[@kimlittleton4943]

I remember these days. Was a single mom for 14 years. I only had 2 boys of my own....but we usually had a friend, or two, or three in tow. That could really add up (when they are always hungry!!!). So a couple of 2-liter of drink, some lunch meat, loaf of bread, and a day trip was so affordable. Then it turned into camping trips instead of Disney trips.....but we have great memories.

[@hanorabrennan8846]

Bri, you're an awesome Mum, cook, entertainer and woman. I wanted so badly to sit down with the family and have a jolly good chinwag by the fire. Thanks for sharing your great family with us.

[@kathryntroyer6503]

I agree, you deserve an award, Bri!!

[@Sun-pn6ss]

Bri I just stopped the video to say you should get an award EVERY DAY that you feed your crew, care for them, and whisper to their hearts how much you, Arthur, and God love them...and you are doing this on your own!!! Yes, absolutely, an award every day!!! You are an AMAZING Momma!!!!

[@Akforgetmenot]

❤Zoo, upside down nachos! Simple abundance and sweet memories! Way to go Bri!

[@ceecee7868]

Joyful is going to be such a good mom :)

[@tammiehenry8494]

Thanks for the taking us along to the zoo! The children seemed delighted! And all the breastfeeding mammas! Lol 💕 Loved Royal's mooing, and organizing Mommy's grocery bags. So sweet! 😋 Bless You and your family 💞

[@susangardner8305]

Bri i love how you always thank your children when they help you it’s beautiful to hear . My Mum and Dad always said it to us

[@SilasLives1]

I have one child. I can't imagine having 7 children as a single parent. You are a fricking rock star lady!

[@esthers9140]

What a beautiful day! I remember those days when my kids were little and I was practically praying LOL that they didn't take a little cat nap in the car because that totally threw their schedule off, which in turn totally threw my schedule off. Royals mooing was so precious😊

[@rebeccaalbrecht771]

All these years of cooking and I never knew not to scrape the cutting board with the sharp side of the blade of the knife. Thanks for the tip! I'm really enjoying your videos!

[@joanneganon7157]

What a great Day,the Zoo is Fun 😊! You make it work by bringing things that cost $. I hope you had fun 🌞. JO JO IN VT 💞💨❄️☃️

[@Ourlittlehomesteadlife]

Oh if I could count the times I've overcooked a meal.... you are so graceful and I love how you just keep moving forward. You're a beautiful person Bri. And an amazing woman. And an incredible Mama. ❤️👏🏼💪🏽

[@sheilaconley7085]

You amaze me Bri. You are doing so good. I sent your video to my granddaughter because she is going through what you did. She has 5 kids. Please pray for her, her name is Kayla. God bless you and your family.

[@lindacsmith13]

your children are lovely. the two older boys seem very centered and present in you family. lucky you and them

[@rachelcarter2443]

What a lovely day. Those littles are just all so fun to see. You are rocking it Bri. Makes me nostalgic from my chaotic mama days.

[@batpherlangkharkrang7976]

Hi..... Bri nice to see you love watching your videos 👋 bye 👋 bye 👋 bye 👋 🌱🏡🎥👍👍👍

[@donnacriswell421]

You keep things real with your children and I love that about you

[@carolkimbell5174]

I loved this video! Fun to watch. Royal is super smart putting the paper bags in the right place..

[@peggymcthompson261]

What a great day at the zoo! Grace and Joyful are growing into such young ladies and that is thanks to the example that you set for them. Those potatoes look soooooo good unfortunately cheese is no longer my friend and the fake stuff just doesn’t cut it.

[@emeraldwaterlifehomestead2180]

Bri, I love seeing you have fun along with all your children. Beautiful smile you have. Thank you for sharing.❤️

[@tinamcloughlin2710]

Beautiful mum beautiful children. Perfect vlog thank you Bri. xxx

[@jenniferm9341]

Omg! Royal putting the bags away completely melted my heart ♥️

[@sharongreen2163]

What a wonderful zoo…the animals are so close, and easy to see.

[@TheEmbrio]

Truly is such a joy, she is catching everything going on, smart, and is of such a joyful nature, at least on camera, and especially with the animals !

[@moonstone188]

I love your new content on the channel. Thank you for all the work. Many prayers, Kimberlin

[@cheerio3847]

What a great zoo! I never knew Greenville had one and we used to go there regularly for the Costco. One benefit of a smaller zoo is that you can actually get to everything and not be exhausted. you leave still feeling like you can continue to do something and nobody is overwhelmed and cranky!

[@megrandmomjean5019]

Bri, you're such an AMAZING Mom! I enjoyed your field trip. As a single Mom, I did exactly as you by bringing our food and snacks when going anywhere. We simply couldn't afford to do otherwise. My grown children especially remember taking them to the small wooded area next to our neighboring cities swimming pool and I would cook chicken on the barbecues that were furnished while they would swim. They loved it.

[@susan-almosta_farm8823]

Oh my goodness, those babies!!! ❤ Loved seeing everyone at the zoo and now I'm anxious to take two of my grandsons, 4 and 2, that I keep while mommy works to the zoo. Neither one have ever been. Thank you for the idea and thank you for the recipe. I love anything potato and can't wait to try these.

[@angelantbf]

What a wonderful trip!!

[@jillmom3]

You are so brave! Love you and your family🥰Prayers for you all🙏🏻

[@athia37]

What a great outing,with all kinds of learning opportunities..Brie your children are all so precious and lovely..you are such a Loving wonderful patient Mom.God Bless All Of You !

[@kristenurbina-phillips2258]

You have provoked some sweet memories for me - packing a lunch to take my girls on a day trip to the zoo, library, park, or lake.

[@TeresaAlley]

Thanks for taking us along with you to the zoo and sharing your recipe, looks delicious! ❤🙏

[@jenniferw5087]

What a fun day for you all. Zoo trips are such fun. During covid when restrictions were strict in Canada where I live I got Zoo passes for myself and my grandaughters I care for. We spent many hours walking the zoo and they always had a great time. Certainly going to try those Tatchos

[@mandyfinkiewicz]

your trip reminds me of when I would take my twins to our zoo(they're 20 year old now).

[@kathys9786]

Royal saying moo...priceless! So cute!

[@mmmmlllljohn]

You have great kids, Bri … because they have a great mom. I’m in awe of what you do for your family. I love your new content - thanks for sharing your day at the zoo with us. May God bless you all. Love from Canada ❤️🇨🇦

[@02271953me]

What a fun day!! I'm amazed at how tall Joyful has grown! Wow!

[@patmaier6917]

Great day at the zoo. Small enough to enjoy, not so big you get super tired. Lovely day.

[@ValdirSilva-sz1ms]

*UMA EXCELENTE QUINTA-FEIRA MAMA E LOIS SOUTHARD🇺🇸🇧🇷👏*

[@claudialeger3208]

Zoo experience was amazing. Great road trip for all of you. And I have a girl’s night out planned in a few weeks and will introduce the Upside down Taterochos. How fun! You continue to do it Bri. Hugs~

[@creativelysustainablenow]

When my daughter was 3 or 4, we went to the zoo and ate our peanut butter sandwiches while watching the elephants eat. Picnics at the zoo are great memories! And your upside-down tachos sound really good. Will have to try those.

[@radmilamiljanic5977]

Children love to have structure: what, where, when, makes them confident. I thought raw potatoes were bad for stomach?! Glad you had such a nice time. Wilder is like no one else in the world:))))))

[@Mrs.WarmWaffle]

That looked delicious! So nice to see you do so much nice stuff with your kids. When you sliced the potato I come to think of a dinner my father use to make it has a Swedish name, kjöttlåda, means meat drawer. You slice potato and meat in thin slices and lay them in layers in a big pan. Seasoning between every layer with salt and pepper. The layer ends with a layer of potatoes. Take some flour in a glass with lid and water, shake well until it's no lumps in the water. Pore it over the Kjöttlåda and put it in the oven on 180 celcius for about an hour or so, it depends on your oven. I loved when the potato on top are crispy. Sadly I can't eat this dinner anymore since I'm allergic to potatoes. But I guess I can use sweet potato?

[@kaydefreese7586]

I'm happy you took a day to enjoy with your precious children at the zoo. We took my grandgirl to the zoo last year. At the time she was two. I hope she remembers like your little one did. Thanks for posting that recipe. Looks delicious. I plan to make some myself.

[@claudeanmankin1539]

It is kinda' amazing what they remember at such a young age-little sponges.

[@WithrowUrbanHomestead]

Great job Mama creating an affordable memorable day!

[@Mary-oj7ml]

What a pleasant surprise for your kids the zoo is a very fun place to go no matter how old or young you are,it was fun for me to watch everyone have so much fun,Bri you and the kids are such a blessing ❤️

[@amychirinosphotography]

Our library offer passes to different museums.

[@ldg2655]

I’ll say it again and again and again….. I’m PROUD of you!!

[@quarter-milefarm9733]

The Happiest Millionaire is a great movie. I used to babysit a little girl, and she liked watching old movies like The Music Man and The Happiest Millionaire, so I saw it several times. I'd like to get a copy of the video for my home collection. Thanks for the field trip today!

[@hippieginbaker2165]

loves your videos, keep them coming, loves your family, beautiful, and your an awesome mom,

[@mystichollowfarmandhomestead]

Thoroughly enjoyed watching you all enjoy the zoo! Also, I am pretty sure I will be making Upside-down Tachos sometime* in the next few days! Yum!

[@kitgonzalez7320]

Loved this! Favorite part was Royal's mooing, so cute.

[@Mycupoverflows]

I’ve been to that zoo 100 times, we live really close to it. Its always great

[@patches5965]

Love this trip to the zoo! All of the children enjoyed themselves. You made a great memory. Royal and his "moo" was so cute! Joyful scared me in the window!

[@hollyjordan-fj5ue]

What a fun day, I miss taking my two to the zoo. We loved the nursing animals and the orangutans as much as your family! I was questioning if Joyful ever wore anything other than rollerblades in the house but at the end I saw bare feet 🤣 Also, whomever was in the kitchen window cracked me up! Thanks for sharing ❤️

[@joni7781]

that was Joyful in the kitchen window, thought it was so cute also.

[@tammygeorge2756]

Those Tatchos look sooooo good. When I was pregnant with my first/oldest daughter, my craving was nachos with extra jalapeño peppers. I have not cared for jalapeños before or since, but loved them during pregnancy.

[@kaybone2480]

Love your new channel.. You are an amazing mommy and sweet person..no matter how tired you are your kids come first..till next time

[@jillthomas4926]

I think that sometimes the smaller zoos are best for little ones. I've been to the Asheboro zoo a couple times when my brother lives in NC and there is a lot of walking which can wear the little kids legs out 😊

[@janeschmidt9611]

Yum! Those potatoes look delicious! I’ve made something similar but never thought of making an onion dip to go with them. Thank you for taking us along to the zoo. I love zoos but we no longer live near one so this was a special treat. 🥰

[@easystreetwithjen]

The potatoes looked amazing! Thanks for explaining why my potatoes suddenly have eyes on them. I just noticed them yesterday.

[@lifeattheterrace]

What a great, fun day. And the crispy cheesy potatoes looked yummy 😋 I love ‘free’ places to take the kids that they enjoy & then when they ask to go again, I can say Yes! P.S. your doing great, hugs to you xx

[@littlefarmlover]

Looks like a really fun family day. Bri, you are a champion.

[@AsikariLoneWolf]

The Toco toucan will always be my favorite animal at the Greenville Zoo! 💚💚💚

[@kellygreen8255]

Oh my! It looks like you’re at our Greenville SC zoo!!! Yay! I’m so glad you got to visit us!

[@wendyvroom2113]

What a fun day it looks like you all had!! Nice that it wasn't crowded at the zoo. Looked like you had the place to yourselves! Royal mooing. How sweet and him putting the bags away was so neat. He is surely growing. All your chidlers are so smart!! Can't wait to try those potatoes. I think I will make them for supper tonight. Looked scrumptious. Thank you for the video! LOVED IT!!

[@jch1965]

What a fun day trip! Those Tatchos look delicious! That’s my kinda meal. 😋

[@melyndawilliams9692]

I love our NC ZOO in asheboro..that’s a whole day event..good exercise and such a beautiful place..I also love the Science museums zoo also in Greensboro..I would go everyday if I could..love nature and animals❤..those potatoes look delish..thx!!
