    Oh I love this!!! The new intro is wonderful, it shows the evolved family but still remembers Andrea. This is a great video Tom, I don’t remember you doing a day in the life before it’s so nice to see your day. I LOVE the lightening McQueen decals on the car they’re awesome!

    Omgosh! I would have a hard time keeping up with all of the things you do for each child! Making your bed and getting it just right pulled at the heartstrings! I have a feeling you do that for Andrea! What an amazing father! Don’t ever feel like you don’t give enough to the kids! You seem to be right in top of everything! Sweet Eden! She reminds me of Andrea so much!

    Just an idea I cleaned from a homeschooling mom. She would take a week off every 6 weeks to ' reset"; that could include getting projects done, shipping, cooking in batches, short trips, organizing, or just sitting one on one with each kids and seeing what was working or not working for them. When I gave myself " permission to take time off to reset I didn't fall behind, I a really gained ground because I could focus better.

    I'm 12 minutes in and my heart feels like a puppet. The tugging of the strings. Tom making sure the bed is perfect. Stroking Edens hair. Tom on his knees outside. I remember being on my knees when I saw my children's father in his casket 18 years ago. Idk that it gets easier. Adjusting to a whole new way of life. Getting unused to what you are used to. Being unable to share the small things the proud moments of the kids. The hugs the laughs the looks the love. What to do with the agony? Where do you put it? So hard to explain the loss. God will see you through it. Our strength comes from him. Love your family God bless.

    It still amazes me how extremely organized Andrea was with such a small house and a large family. I wish I had just a little bit of her organizational skills. It's only the husband and I, our kids have flown the nest, and our house is just super cluttered. Tom you are such a good father and you have really come a long way since the early days of Andrea's passing. I'm sure the pain in your heart is still very much there but you are doing an incredible job with all the kids. God bless you and the family.

    Love gift wrap! It might not be a better value per square foot, yet if you have a Dollar Tree, they usually have a ton of solid color wrapping paper rolls. There are tissue paper and ribbon options, too. The Dollar Tree's $1 gift bags is what brought the place in to my life. It might be worth a stop for all of the festive party decorations you delight your kiddos with for birthdays and more.

    Mom worked on my schedule with me, by 7th grade I was doing by myself. I could work ahead to be able to have a summer break. My books started coming in units and I could schedule much easier by highschool. Also I love the merit board. Teaches personal responsibility and doesn't let blame on others happen. Not forcing it on them is great, but you give them the option if they want to. I wish the real world worked like that.

    Next year check out Dollar Tree, you might be able to find some of the wrapping paper in colors you could use for $1.00 a roll. Also if you need a certain color to wrap presents look at the plastic table cloths parents use for birthday parties. You are doing a great job with the little ones. It seems like they have grown several inches since the last vlog!
