As someone who grew up in a abusive and neglectful home, these videos warm my heart. I would always wish for someone like you to come and save me from that place. I was always told people like you don’t exist. Seeing how you grow your family while saving these kids, treating and loving them as your own is so heart warming to watch please never stop 😭

[TheFlissT]

We don’t need much milk, so I’ll just grab 3 gallons! 😂 although I’m sure that’s not a lot for your family but that really did make me laugh lol

[natalieangus]

I too struggled with infertility, and know the pain and devastation of unsuccessful treatments. So happy for you Alicia that you enjoy and feel privileged to have your family. You are the parents they were meant to have❤️❤️

I love how you explain food aversion to those who aren't familiar with autism or spectrum disorders. Foods like "Ketchup sandwiches" for your baby, my son only likes Turkey lunchables every single day but will eat chicken nuggets with a lot of ketchup. Gotta have cheddar and sour cream ruffles and gala apples unpeeled! During the pandemic, our grocery stores limited 3 lunchables per order. It was tough! As broad as most palettes are, it's hard to explain to some how our children deal with these food aversion difficulties. As always, I'm in awe of how much you sacrifice and do for your family. I struggle to get up at 7 and you are shopping well beforehand. It's reassuring to know that in NY, 10 Children are living their best life because of you. I'm so excited to see your family grow and how your stories reach others. Thank you for taking us along throughout this journey. Love the video! Happy Birthday Zoey!!

[Poeherenui]

I’m 20 with no kids, but watching your videos has become a daily routine of mine. thank you for making my mornings more pleasant! much love to you and your family. happy birthday zoe!

I don’t know how you do it. I walked into the grocery store yesterday morning and the increase in prices (ex: store brand pasta sauce 24 oz a month ago was $0.88…yesterday $1.47. I go so anxious and upset because it’s a struggle that I cried right there in the pasta aisle. I am glad you are blessed to purchase food for all of the kids.

[tenillesuzanne]

I loved the story of how Patrick got his name.

[Meelany]

First 2 weeks of trying to be like you was tough, now 1 month and half after I'm a pro and everything comes as second nature. I now enjoy way more motherhood and love it! Stress and anxiety was taking over me but I'm now a better mum and things seem so easy when I just enjoy and relax despite the tantrums. I'm so grateful for my babies.
Thanks to you for showing me that motherhood and being a homemaker is amazing

[Lulusnotreadyforthis]

Agreed, it is a privilege to be a mother, shopping, cooking and cleaning for my kids. Hubby and I went through 2 years of back to back miscarriages and ectopic pregnancies. I remind myself of that every time I stress. I look at my kids and remember how much I wanted them.

[becerelli]

I love you're perspective. I am almost 45 and didn't get to have my own children. 5 pregnancies 😪 The grief is real. I am a stepmum from when she was 13. She lost her mum at 17. She is now 22 and out on her own and absolutely smashing life. I am so proud of her and me for she is my greatest achievement of this life. I got to lead her through her teenage years and she appreciates me for it. I am lucky xx

[sarajohnson]

I don’t know why but I find your grocery hauls so calming and peaceful, I look forward to them! I love how you mentioned is all about perspective, so true! Also I love my kiwis and every time I go to any grocery store they tend to be too hard or mushy, but I learned to get the brand Mightiest kiwis 🥝 they come in a clear containers like berries do and they are always good quality. I find them at Target hope that help! I love watching you and your family so much. 💓

[hawaiilifeinseattle]

We need a Sunday series called “Pep Talk with Alicia.” I’ve been struggling so much with being “just mom” lately and feelings of anxiety and being overwhelmed. Thank you for reminding me what a blessing being “just mom” is. It gives me a new perspective and outlook on the week! I love my kiddos do, so much but it can be a lot. Also, LOVE the story of how Patrick chose his name! My 37 year old SpongeBob loving husband also approves. ❤️

[brandyfreeman]

Just a little side note that may be helpful. Despite years of being told Gatorade was great during/after a stomach bug my gastroenterologist actually told me it's not. He said the sugar content is way to high & can actually make diarrhea worse. He said Pedialyte, coconut water, water, green tea are much better options. Just thought I'd pass that along because it's something I just learned myself at 40 years old!!

[blubutterfly]

I absolutely love how sweet Patrick’s name story is. Sweet boy.

[maureenyoung]

I realize you shop early when the store has just opened, but that store is incredibly clean and well stocked!

[pabloduarte]

I´m 45, no kids, never wanted to be a father...but I saw our videos and let me tell you, I´m proud of you and it is so good to see people like you that they are so happy to be mom and take care of your kids like you do...it´s inspiring. It's a matter of choice...you wanted to be mother, and that´s awesome.

[sharonmarienicholson]

I was 38 years old when I was blessed with my son after almost 16 years of not being able to conceive, & your absolutely right being called mummy is the biggest blessing I could ever revive, he's my world. It didn't work out with his dad who said he wasn't ready to be a father but you know what I can and am man enough to be both for him. Your baby's are so lucky to have you as there mummy, your doing an amazing job. 💖💖💖 love to you all from beautiful Yorkshire England xxx

[ElleLitJP]

I’m currently 17 weeks pregnant with our rainbow baby through IVF — your words about infertility, grief, and loneliness were so real and true! Thank you for sharing your family with us ❤️

[carriekennedy]

I absolutely agreed with everything you said about infertility and the grief that goes with it. I have been there myself. my husband and I adopted our 6 kids some thru foster care, some we just raised and never got legal custody. Each time I hear one of them say Mama it makes me so thankful for every opportunity I have to be with them. so thankful to able to love them and be loved by them.

[deemichelle]

Oh my goodness that is so sweet your little story about how Patrick got his name! That melts my heart.

I love watching your videos. It really makes my heart so warm. I grew up in care. I lived in lots of group homes...so When I see people like you doing what your doing it really means so much to me. Thank you so much for all you do. ❤️
