I don't have any foster children or adopted children. But i can imagine that they came from home situations where their parents were absent or didn't have the means to care for them properly. Everytime i see you make the beds and straighten their rooms, i just see the love you give them. You show your love by helping to give them some order in their life, reducing stress for them. Walking into a clean organized space does something for the mind that allows it to relax. I bet it helps tremendously for the healing of the kids. I know people are so judgy, saying the kids can clean their own rooms. But i see you, Momma. I see you loving on them- i see you bringing peace to your family. Every family works differently. You are doing great! 🧡
I agree 100 percent. My mom used to clean my room sometimes and for actions it could be your child’s love language. I don’t judged her at all for loving her kids.
Why are y’all so pressed/concerned about how this lady raises her children. She’s a stay at home mom who makes money for her family by entertaining us with her life. Some of y’all have not healed from your childhood traumas and neglect. Let these people live. If you don’t like her way of doing things why are you here watching? Geesh. Alicia girl you rock!
Alicia thank you for reminding me to stay positive this time of year is hard since my son died and my brain will drown me if I don't keep busy and focused on the good things I do have! I really needed to hear that today! thank you 😊 💓
Your son is always with you ❤️ every step you make he steps with you, your doing him proud every single day, continue being the amazing person you are until you meet again 🙏
When I was growing up it was my responsibility to make my bed everyday and keep my room clean and picked up. I didn't once and got in big trouble! I think all the kids are old enough including Bodhi and Harlee to be helping around the house like cleaning up the playroom including laundry. That's just way too much for one person to handle! It also teaches responsibility. Maybe you could hire a laundry service to help out even if it's just through the holidays. Your plate is so full already along with the holiday festivities/ preparation, I'd be more than worn out! Just a thought!
@@lindseyparker5638 you seem like a real lunatic. These kids all have great life skills, especially for their ages. The middles and teens help with the younger kids, James is 15 and can cook meals for 14+ people, Alex knows how to drive a large vehicle. And when they do their chores, they are all doing them on a larger scale.
Childhood is far too short, they have a lifetime of being adults, don't take childhood away from them. They have a chore each, that is a good contribution for any child. Also children who FASD struggle with certain tasks and they also suffer from short term memory issues. All to different degrees of course. They do chores they can do. I struggle making bunk beds, never mind kids!
Yes I agree. It really is a disservice to children. They need to learn responsibility. Many hands make light work. We want our children to have a good work ethic.
I'm doing the math. You get up and make breakfast at 5:00. You're waking the babies up, but the big kids are already gone. Wouldn't the hot meals be ice cold by now? Just wondering.
You should teach the young kiddos early, to clean and organize their toys.. I like your delicious cooking and your grocery shopping a lot.. Regards and be safe!
I think your kids are old enough to make their own beds in the morning. I know they get up early but it teaches them how to become good adults honestly and I think they can put their dirty laundry in a hamper. Also think about when you're cleaning wipe the sink and stuff first before you do the toilet. The toilet should be a totally separate rag. Even if you're using paper towels a new paper towel. Just a good FYI.
I don't mean this negatively at all because I think so highly of all that you do for your family, but please do adjust your toilet cleaning process. Top (fewer germs) to bottom (more germs), outside to inside (most germs). Seat and then bowl should be last and then paper towel thrown away. Otherwise you are carrying fecal germs to the flushing handle, the walls, etc. Take care and have a wonderful day!!
28:00 Wonderfully said. My beautiful cousin, who was basically my 2nd mother, just couldn't take life anymore and decided to take a permanent vacation. She hated herself and those who made her hate herself. (Not sure if that makes sense.) She should've won an academy award because I NEVER knew she was struggling nor did I even know she had bad people in her life. To anyone who is struggling from hate, sadness, etc, please don't give up on yourself. I hope I'm not being all about myself. It's just the advice Alicia gave to us is something I wish I gave to my cousin. Whoever read this novel, thank you for putting up with it. (And I'm in no way looking for sympathy. I just felt that my story can resonate a bit with the sentiments Alicia said.)🖤
You have EVERY right to comment whatever you need too! And I am sure Alicia would agree. She gets so much negativity, she is a pro at dealing with it. She is also very intune with the universe, IMHO. She knows about putting positive thoughts & energy out into the world/universe and how that will manifest and bring the same back to you. You cannot dwell on the negative stuff out there and let it effect you because that will leed you to attracting more negativity. It is so TRUE.. Even astrophysicists have figured out this through studying quantum physics. If you are interested look up Quantum Entanglement. Its fasinating!
😞 sorry for your loss. I've been trying to help my daughter who is 18 to try an reset her mind and thinking. But I know it's not that simple and is a long process but I love her no matter what she is dealing with I just wish I could fix all the things that makes her not want to be here. She is still here thank goodness an I pray she stays here in this world with me everyday an the negative thoughts don't win.
So sorry for your loss. I completely understand your aunts feelings of hatred towards those who made her hate herself. It makes complete sense, and it’s so far from you making something about you. A valuable message to all who read it. Hatred is a burden, but it’s almost always because the person who hates was burdened. Not by choice. Positive mantras are good for chasing them mental monsters away. But I’m sure it went much deeper than just a positive outlook for your beloved cousin/second mom.
When I look and watch your video’s Alicia, I always feel positive and good. Yesterday my car and washing machine broke and I wanted to get angry and things like that. But I just thought, Carlijn there are always people who have it much worse then you have. I try to stay positive all the time! I love your family, you are blessed❤️ Sending love to you and your family, Carlijn (from the Netherlands)
Not even 5 mins in and I’m already giggling at the 3 sandwich tops being gone due to cute lil dixie… love you and your family you guys are so real and I love that! 💖
I'm so hard on myself, I have chronic pain and feel I let my family down so much. Watching you though, doesn't make me feel worse. It makes me feel like I can take on anything! Wish I could be as good and positive a mum as you are. Keep being you xx
Also, I have had a chronic illness since I was a little kid. It has put me in the hospital three times, in a coma 3 times and twice I almost died. I totally understand where you are coming from, just please don't let it get you down! I love you as another human being!🌹🌷🌼🌺💐🌸🌻⚘
I have chronic illness and pain too, I often struggle feeling like I am "enough" and want to do more for my 3 young kids. Alicia's affirmations and positivity lift me up so much. It is like hanging out with a wonderful friend. 💕
I understand why with special needs kids you do there rooms and clean up. There minds are different, what you do for them shows your love for them. I understand, with two grand kids with special needs. You have a houseful, you’ll are special people. Love you for taking in the kids , there lives will be better and blessed. 💐
Omgg I can’t even clean my restroom without using gloves 🤮 and I just watched her use a dirty rag to wipe the kitchen counter then lay bread on that dirty counter
Maybe next time when you clean the bathroom mirror, spray windex on towel like you did all the other times so windex don’t get onto the makeup brushes.
Haylee’s favorite reading books reminded me of what my daughter was reading way back when. She’s your age now, Alicia, and the kids were reading the Little Mr. and Little Miss series.
I can only remember reading Dr. Seuss books & golden books. Ha ha! I am only five years older than Alicia, but we have a lot in common, even being red heads!
The cleaning and clearing up is part and parcel of having a bigger family. This I do think would be good to help teach the kids, to tidy up few things before playing more. They need little jobs, all kids do,part of learning
Yay! Hey there, Alicia. I love hanging around out with you and the fam in these videos. Your positivity and upbeat outlook make me smile. Thank you so much. BTDUBS: Zoey is a hoot and so smart!!!
I was thinking to myself as you were cleaning, how does she do it and then when to got in the van you started talking about it and I so needed to hear that I you are so right ,I'm just having such a hard time since Covid , I have become a hermit and everyone is trying so hard to get me out and I just can't, my mental health is getting so bad , I am terrified inside .
I have Nannied for over 28 years. When I nannied for one family, I would find toothpaste in the oddest locations, like inside the fridge! I remember sitting all 6 kids down and saying, "You guys know the House rules your Mommy and Daddy have. You can have snacks, but you need to ask first and more importantly, you need to make sure you do not have toothpaste on your hands!" They all said, "Okay!" Then I found toothpaste all over the trashcan that holds all of your trash until the trash truck comes to pick it up. Some toothpastes will not come off without a fight! I confiscated all the toothpaste after that. The kids had to come to me to get toothpaste on their toothbrushes, per the parents wishes. 😂😅🙄🤦🏼♀️🤷🏼♀️😉 Kids do the darndest things. They can drive you to tears, laughter and insanity. Each kid is still worth every second of the craziness!
You are the best ! First thing I do is watch your recent video in the mornings , (5am ) you give me so much motivation and I’m only 28 mother of one boy 11 yrs 🫶🏼😂❤
@tammy Stuart I'm pretty sure she was joking about that with Zoey & why do you care how much money she spends? Does it affect you? I don't think it does.
I wish the "day uin the life of" vlogs were in a playlist! I'm going through and scouring them out a year later lol. I haven't been following since this long ago.. so I love your videos and am watching a bunch today!
Girl, it is time to get that septic tank fixed. I cannot imagine the laundry mat. It would be so much better if you could just do a few loads a day. This is crazy.
Alicia, do yourself a favor and invest in a Dyson cordless vacuum. You will never go back, trust me! So easy to pick up and whizz around everywhere. They’re a game changer 😊 Thanks for another amazing vlog. Xx
It's so true,what you said about the positive thoughts and what you attract!!!I'm not good right now and i refuse to do anything.i'll be fine. i love your videos and the strength you have and the things you do every day!!!!!many Kisses!❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
I love you and worry about how much you do i asked my teenagers to please make their bed and put dirty clothes in hamper and towels never left the bathroom this really helped me we all left the house at 7 am praying for you
They do make a Windex antibacterial…it’s yellow! I use it on my kitchen counters ! Bathroom always gets cleaned with a bleach cleanser ! She rushes through her cleaning…I don’t think she worries about cross contamination when cleaning or cooking ! 🤦🏻♀️
I can relate to the markers being thrown out I work with kids and they always always always forget to put the caps back on and then there infer why it’s dried out 🤣😅
3 weeks?! Dang, I thought my kids were good at manipulating me 😆 I'm guessing you meant 3 weeks total over all the kids but I couldn't help teasing a bit. 🥰
@@Gamergirl36-e1l we had the stomach bug a few weeks ago but it was very mild, thank God. I used to never get sick, but the last few years got me real good. I have everything crossed I don't get it this year 🤞🙏 Glad y'all are feeling better.
Alicia what you were talking about in the car was absolutely right about your positive and negative thoughts! Just know that your a great mom & your kids & husband love you & appreciate you so much! Don't listen to any of the haters, you keep doing you girl cuz we love to see it. 😊❤😊
The people that buy you gifts should buy for the needy instead. You can afford anything you want. So many kids need clothes and want toys for Christmas and their families can't afford them. So sad.
It’s not DD’s fault that their viewers buys or sends them gifts. There’s ppl out there who can’t afford to but, don’t make it seem like Alicia is forcing her viewers to send them gifts.
Just because she has a PO Box people don’t have to send her anything. People are going to do what they want to do. You can’t control others. Obviously you don’t like it so you won’t be sending anything so no worries on your part.
Alicia! Love your videos, I’m an OCD freak you seem to be also. Your dyson ball I use to have you should totally look at the new dyson it’s extremely amazing no cord and it can go anywhere trust me it’s a game changer. 😊 sending good vibes as always
I cringed when I saw you clean the inside facing areas of the toilet and then the outside with the same paper towel. Uhm maybe work outside-in next time?
Meh, I think Alicia is doing an amazing job without being over critiqued by the world's internet cleaners. Hey Alicia, thanks for getting on your hands and knees and cleaning toilets for 12 kids. You're doing fabulous 🏆🏆🏆
@@Cherryblanket..sso_485 I think she’s also doing a great job. I don’t think it’s an over critique to suggest she clean from the outside-in instead of the inside-out. It’s an easy change to make and can help prevent the spread of bacteria.
Im negative person about myself not to others i used to hide away from world but now with alot training in my head about thoughts i try block them out and im out alot more i started meditation best thing i have ever done xxx
Why do you not make these kids clean their room and makes their beds? Why are you cleaning the toys up outside they should do it at night before they come in? You really are teaching these children nothing please stop doing everything for them and teach them that not everything thing in left will be handed to them.
sometimes Ill pick 1 room a day say dinningroom if stacks of stuff go through trash what's trash spread what needs to be shredded ect , then next day ove onto another room depending on house you can be done in couple days or longer but it feels great n feels good. I make a point to deep clean something every week ez now no kids home. well our 30yrs is here but that doesn't really count. I vac n dust guest room 1x a week so if we get a surprise visitor just have to put clean bedding on. go girl u got this

Alicia, I agree with you about trying to think positive thoughts. When you're always thinking negatively it literally is exhausting ❣️
Yes!!🧡🧡🧡
just out of curiosity, is there a reason you guys don't just have multiple washers and dryers at home like you have with fridges?
They have septic issues
Dixie eating the biscuit tops really cracked me up!!
Did you just use Windex to clean your toilet 💀
Not even 5 mins in and I’m already giggling at the 3 sandwich tops being gone due to cute lil dixie… love you and your family you guys are so real and I love that! 💖
Her monthly income would surpass Josh’s annual income.
But with 12 kids i would find any excuse to leave the house
"Did you eat a breakfast sandwich?" 🤣 Dixie helped herself! ❤ That playroom pick up... hit me right in the feelers.
😆
I love your day in the life videos!! You are one amazing mom and I love how you always stay positive!!
is the tv on the twins bed mounted to the wall?
isnt it too big for the distance to the viewer?

Mom is a naturally nice and caring person. I just don't under stand how she feels winded cleans and sanitizer the toilet?
I love you and worry about how much you do i asked my teenagers to please make their bed and put dirty clothes in hamper and towels never left the bathroom this really helped me we all left the house at 7 am praying for you
Did windex become antibacterial lol
They do make a Windex antibacterial…it’s yellow! I use it on my kitchen counters ! Bathroom always gets cleaned with a bleach cleanser ! She rushes through her cleaning…I don’t think she worries about cross contamination when cleaning or cooking ! 🤦🏻♀️
I can relate to the markers being thrown out I work with kids and they always always always forget to put the caps back on and then there infer why it’s dried out 🤣😅
Always 😂
Heard you humming “O Holy Night” while cleaning the playroom… 👍❤️ That is my favorite Christmas hymn…
Alicia I admire you with all you do your love for your family! You make my day ❤️
🧡🧡🧡
I'm doing laundry while watching this.
CLEAN THE VAN PLEASEEEEE
U r such a strong person, wonderful mom ! Love ur videos! 🥰
3 weeks?! Dang, I thought my kids were good at manipulating me 😆
I'm guessing you meant 3 weeks total over all the kids but I couldn't help teasing a bit. 🥰
@@Gamergirl36-e1l we had the stomach bug a few weeks ago but it was very mild, thank God. I used to never get sick, but the last few years got me real good. I have everything crossed I don't get it this year 🤞🙏
Glad y'all are feeling better.
Alicia what you were talking about in the car was absolutely right about your positive and negative thoughts! Just know that your a great mom & your kids & husband love you & appreciate you so much! Don't listen to any of the haters, you keep doing you girl cuz we love to see it. 😊❤😊
we're in a mega drought n u just leave water running . dishes washer uses less water then u used to wash 4 items
The people that buy you gifts should buy for the needy instead. You can afford anything you want. So many kids need clothes and want toys for Christmas and their families can't afford them. So sad.
I agree with you
Maybe she will donate that stuff to the needy
It’s not DD’s fault that their viewers buys or sends them gifts.
There’s ppl out there who can’t afford to but, don’t make it seem like Alicia is forcing her viewers to send them gifts.
Just because she has a PO Box people don’t have to send her anything. People are going to do what they want to do. You can’t control others. Obviously you don’t like it so you won’t be sending anything so no worries on your part.
If you don’t like it don’t watch or keep your comments to your self!

Been missing the back to back videos.... Glad yall are feeling better 😌 💕 sending virtual love ❤️ can't wait for Christmas and Thanksgiving vlogs
Since the septic tank has been drained will you be Ableto fo laundry at home?
OMG immediately the Rise & Shine song, my mom sang this every single morning when she woke us up
I'm sorry but the older kids should be helping carry all that laundry, but I do love the videos.
Alicia! Love your videos, I’m an OCD freak you seem to be also. Your dyson ball I use to have you should totally look at the new dyson it’s extremely amazing no cord and it can go anywhere trust me it’s a game changer. 😊 sending good vibes as always
You should teach your children to clean up after themselves.
They will grow up and lack discipline in themselves to clean up. 😉
Dixie was like " what mama, not me not me!"
Perfect song to awaken children❣️
Well atleast the dogs eat the breakfast
Curious, How much a week does it cost you to do laundry for 14 people?
I cringed when I saw you clean the inside facing areas of the toilet and then the outside with the same paper towel. Uhm maybe work outside-in next time?
Then wiping the door frames with the paper she cleaned the toilet with also that spray she used wasn’t that window cleaner???
Meh, I think Alicia is doing an amazing job without being over critiqued by the world's internet cleaners. Hey Alicia, thanks for getting on your hands and knees and cleaning toilets for 12 kids. You're doing fabulous 🏆🏆🏆
Critical ladies how can you be so sure she didn’t change the paper towels… always judging makes me mad…
@@Cherryblanket..sso_485 I think she’s also doing a great job. I don’t think it’s an over critique to suggest she clean from the outside-in instead of the inside-out. It’s an easy change to make and can help prevent the spread of bacteria.
Your doing amazing job I don’t no how u do it
Im negative person about myself not to others i used to hide away from world but now with alot training in my head about thoughts i try block them out and im out alot more i started meditation best thing i have ever done xxx
Why do you not make these kids clean their room and makes their beds? Why are you cleaning the toys up outside they should do it at night before they come in? You really are teaching these children nothing please stop doing everything for them and teach them that not everything thing in left will be handed to them.
I agree with thinking positive,It really makes a difference and makes us better parents
Like that song to wake kids
I just love watching your day in the life....
Alicia got you all fooled . She’s not what you think she is
I bet she is much more amazing... She just doesn't show us because on top of everything she is humble 💗
She is such amazing mom all off kids
sometimes Ill pick 1 room a day say dinningroom if stacks of stuff go through trash what's trash spread what needs to be shredded ect , then next day ove onto another room depending on house you can be done in couple days or longer but it feels great n feels good. I make a point to deep clean something every week ez now no kids home. well our 30yrs is here but that doesn't really count. I vac n dust guest room 1x a week so if we get a surprise visitor just have to put clean bedding on. go girl u got this
The older ones could be making their beds and give you some help. They could get chore money 😊
U guys are so caring to everyone I love you guys best TH-camr everrrrrr 😀
And relax🤗love your day in the life🤗your Xmas tree is lovely 💗and love your thoughts on positivity ❤
