New editing is too busy and too much
I love your content. But do not love the new editing… there’s too much going on with text and images
50% would have been good.
She is way toooooo hyper. Can you imagine living with this.
@@denisecole6128she has told
us she has ADHD.
@@denisecole6128 “this”…as if you are not speaking about a human.
@@denisecole6128 I can. It sounds energizing. Can't imagine living with someone who comments stuff like this on youtube videos though.
New editor? Honestly, too much going on on the screen!
I live alone, but I have helped friends organize and there is nothing more satisfying than a good pantry organization. 😂 Not to mention, it’s nice to see that you are training your kids to be self-sufficient.
The overflow ones - I would dump everything out- fold the flaps inside and put everything back instead of ripping stuff of. It looks cleaner, is less work and you could in theory re-use the box for shipping or sthg. 🎉
I love that you are making new content again! New videos do seem short and rushed. Probably just where you are in life. Thanks for new content!
This is why i love acre homestead and kim wadsworth, their videos are super long and content packed
@@helloworld441 Nothing wrong with shorter videos. Especially with the amount of kids she has. Not everyone has time to sit and watch a long video. I just appreciate she's taking the time to make a video. Thank you, Jordan!!!!
@@kimschultz2703 defensive much? 🥴🥴 i didnt even say ANYTHING about jordan but you felt the need to make my comment about her🤦♀️
@@kimschultz2703 she’s home alone all day while her kids are in school and she has nannies. She always has her hair nails and make up done, don’t kid yourself, she has time.
@@umokay5516 who said shes home alone all day she is a buisness women and did you know her kids had nanies shes like the chepskate queen no way in hell she will pay for nannies
I have a similar system for the kids to pack their own bento boxes…i do help. Always a protein, fruit/ veggie, chips/crackers, dairy, choice of small dessert and always water in a thermos. Water in thermos is a huge money saver with multiple kids.
I love the organising of your home so easy to find things when you are in a hurry - also the kids can find things too when in a hurry for school etc. Time is of the essence sometimes.
Love that you're honest with the 50/50 bit (pre-packaged vs do-it-yourself). Combination and moderation 😎👍
Hey Jordan, great restock! Always fun getting snacks in the house. Especially with a lot of kids! ✌🏻
I LOVE that your back to your original content 😀❤
At our home we do a nice big sandwich and chopped fresh vegetables and fruits. Some good quality potato chips/ veggie chips. Occasionally some juice and of course some water.
No judgement cause I understand feeding an army is next level… but all the wrappers/plastic waste just hurts me😅😂
What about reusable snack bags? Save even more not buying zip locks.
Would you want to wash out 40 reusable bags every night lol?
@@KristenS-mu1oc Could make that part of the kids chores. They wash their own bags each night.
I love watching your videos, it doesn't matter what the video is about. Greetings from Germany ❤
I appreciate that!
Does anyone believe she actually follows her own advice to buy bulk and separate out herself? Every time she says that her own pantry is always filled with packaged snacks
Yes I do
If you don’t then stop clicking on her videos.
I’ve seen videos where she separates bulk. I’m sure it’s exactly what she said - when she can get bulk and separate she does. I’m sure there are times when she knows she has a busy week and opts to not do that just like I’m sure she will but the prepackaged items when she can’t find bulk. Either way, it’s her money, her children, her time. It doesn’t really matter if she still follows the advice she started when she had just 3 kids
I've always liked your school lunch system. I always make my lunches the night before and it makes my mornings run so much smoother. My next goal is to move away from the sandwich bags and use reusable lunch containers instead (better for the environment). Keep it up!!!
Love that goal!
Love this . We turned our coat room into a pantry only lately best thing ever x
Hello and thank you for this video. I AM French and i love the text, its easier for me to understand the details of tour organisation with that!
So much variety! It's like a mini supermarket there! 😍😍
This sistem it might be functional but it is definitely not healthy. Sorry to say that.
I anyways live in a country where people tend to perceive lunch as a principal meal of the day. Many parents around me pay for a hot lunch at the school. But here, in Romania, a hot lunch means a soup and a second course (meat & vegetables). People also tend to eat a hot dinner too. I really don't hear about chips at school. I am far away from being a perfect parent and I am not judging. But maybe you need to reconsider this.
You don’t pay for their food so get over it
Good to see you Jordan ❤❤
Yes odd w pictures on the screen
I do something similar for my mom who is diabetic
She has options healthy,junk bin
Which is near her bed or in kitchen
Wow love it
There are healthier options for kids
And? Focus on your kids and get over hers. You don’t pay for their food.
Up until now I didn't realize that's a lot of food for school lunches....
A d what if some kids at the school has nut allergies... A lot of high sugar foods , and a lot of food ... I know there's 8 kids ... But wouldn't it be cheaper to give them a sandwich fruit and a bar or two ... And water ... Not three to five sugar treats
You could donate the uneaten food that your kids don't to a homeless shelter or a church
I assume in former videos she would have gone through these items and tell us how she is going to use them. But I also assume to benefit her children she wants to get rid of the cheapskate image.
I love the way your hair is curled! I hope I can find a tutorial of how you curl it!
Do a video on how you gonna manage so many kids in a broken marriage
Fun and informative video, thx!
Peanut butter and jam sandwich ( again with the peanut) omg sugar sugar sugar
Feels good to to organize clean up
I usually love your content especially when it’s food related but I couldn’t finish this video. The new editing is too much imo. Too much text popping up on the screen and the overall rushed feeling made it hard to watch.
She can’t please everyone that is whining here, so oh well. 🤷🏼♀️
This is so insane to me. The amount of waste that is produced just shocks me. And everything exept the fresh fruit is junkfood. Why does someone feed their kids such an expensive, high sugar no nutrition food? And with all this organizing, where is the convinience in that? Every item in all of those bins are treats for me. It would be much, much cheaper, less wastefull, and way better for the kids health to just let them make real food and sandwiches, pack veggies, fruits, water, and all of that in reusable containers and bottles. Plus then one treat item. Blows my mind that rich people in a developed country with access to so much education put so much effort and money into making such bad choices.
I totally agree. This is all ultra-processed junk food! So bad for children and a huge waste of money. I agree with your last statement. The richer and more "educated" us Americans get the worst choices we can make especially with food. Some of the healthiest, longest living cultures in the world (The Five Blue Zones) ate very simple, predominately plant-based meals with no ultra-processed junk food. It wasn't until the western American diet came to their countries that they started getting the same chronic diseases that most Americans have. Simple, real, whole food keeps people healthy and it's cheaper.
Why are you so concerned with what parents feed their own children?
@@dearleah7299because we are in a global health epidemic. Look at the rising number of diabetis, cardiac diseases, alzheimers and so many others. And I am not even talking about the planetary boundaries that are being exceeded due to food production. We as a global society need to change together. In my opinion it is important to express these worries. I care about our future generation even if they are not my own children. We need to teach them so they can live long and healthy and sustainable...
While I concede your point regarding sustainability, I respectfully disagree with the extreme moralization and demonization of any kind of food. A meal doesn’t have to be perfect in order to be healthy. This lunch system is a great way for children to make their own food choices within some reasonable boundaries. I think this a helpful tool to help raise capable and independent children, which I think was the intention behind this video.
Keep in mind that this is her lunch system for school. That is one meal where the kids can help prepare for themselves on busy mornings, so it’s not everything the kids eat. I love that you’re concerned for their health (and the planet!) and I think it’s safe to assume that this isn’t all the children eat. She puts a lot of content out there about family meals and fresh vegetables and fruit and protein, etc.
I have to make myself breakfast lunch and dinner and it is easy when you have the individual packages, but I also do it myself with the plastic baggies. The lunches are the most time consuming because often you need extra snacks for odd times when you are hungry.
How many items do you make homemade, in bulk, besides your burritos?
I love the follow up on old systems. I wonder if colored dots for hand-me-downs still works for you.
I love this family
How long does that haul last?
Like seeing update version cause diff house diff design
So sad so many don’t have food or struggle to make ends meet and here you have an obscene amount of food. With much success comes great responsibility - Those who serve the poor - "our brothers and sisters" - are following God
She’s not responsible for other peoples lack of food. She works her ass off to have what she does. Success shaming is pathetic.
She has EIGHT kids!!! I know how much food it takes to feed 3 kids. I CANNOT imagine EIGHT!!! 😳
Just wondering....you said no individual bags but almost all of these were pre-packaged?
She also said they were out of stock on the big ones…. This is just real life.
Her rule is usually
So, so, so much plastic wrappers = WASTE. Where does all of this go after it has been emptied? Other than that, love how organized the pantry is.
Do you reuse those zip lock bags, please?
Why?
❤
“Is this fun? I dunno. But it feels good…we will just go with that” 😂
How often do you do this?
Soooo much plastic & packaging 😮
And?
@@dearleah7299it’s horrible for our environment and it is our damn responsibility to speak out about it!!
@@Lindelo1 I wasn’t asking you. 🤫
@@dearleah7299 And? 😂
@@Lindelo1 shut it. Only speak when spoken to.
Jordan, I only have one kid and I am so worn out! I don’t know how you do it, but you are a super mom! I’ve been watching you for a few years and adore you - one of my coworkers introduced me to you. Neither of us had kids at the time but we just loved your content and energy. Your love for your family is so apparent and always shines through.💛
Love these videos! Did find the subtitles or extra words on the screen to be a bit much. It took away from the video itself.
She can’t please everyone so oh well
@@dearleah7299 she previously asked for feedback on how the viewers liked the new videos so I would keep scrolling if you don’t like the feedback provided 😊
@@kristenl450 nah, I’ll respond when and how I choose.
@@dearleah7299 you’re so funny 😂
As a frugal/budgeting content creator it appears from your videos that you buy exponentially more stuff than anyone I know. More junk food, more meat, more powdered drinks, more clothes, more cosmetics, more furniture, more decorations, more party supplies, more vacations, more vehicles, dune buggies, vacation lodge, bigger homes, multiple kitchen renovations....the list goes on. Most Americans would do well to visit other countries/cultures to see how little we actually need to live a truly happy and contented life. All this stuff is not doing us any favors.
Of course large families require purchasing greater quantities of essential items like food, clothes, toiletries, etc. but so much of what you present in your videos are unnecessary purchases. Just because something is cheap or on sale doesn't mean you are saving money by purchasing it. You can purchase a freezer full of meat that was on sale but if you don’t use it before it goes bad that’s a waste of money. 90% of the things we buy are completely unnecessary and will end up as a pile of clutter or in the trash. Not to mention all the time and money it takes to shop for, organize, clean, maintain, repair, and declutter everything we own.
“If we have to buy stuff to store our stuff then we probably have too much stuff." (Courtney Carver)
Seems to me your frugal mindset has not curbed your desire to over consume in just about every area of your life. True frugality brings forth a mindfulness to buy only what is truly necessary. Consciously thinking about every item you bring into your home and deciding if you truly need them. Living a simpler more content life saves us time, money, and so much stress. You seem to consistently choose the opposite - more, more, more.
A good example from this video is instead of purchasing one or two snack items for your children you purchased twenty different varieties of expensive junk foods that fill up multiple baskets and shelves in your pantry, therefore, requiring constant purchasing, refilling, maintaining, and organizing. Plus you threw many of those snacks in a trash bag before restocking. How is that frugal budgeting or smart time management?
100% agree on all of this. Everyone has a right to operate their household as they see fit, but I find this kind of content to just spread more of the consumerism message. More, more, more. If people would do some research and understand how so much clutter and just stuff in general adds to stress and chaos in their life, there would be thought put into purchases. (This is especially true for those that have ADHD as having a more simple environment helps them to stay on track.) I'm not a minimalist, but I definitely lean that way and see the benefits. Anyone is interested in the less is more life, consider watching The Minimal Mom. She shares a lot of information on this subject matter.
@@bshows14Yes, the Minimal Mom is very helpful, as is Joshua Becker, too.😊
@@BeautifulSunShine777 Yes! There are several in this line of thinking that can be so helpful. They also don't just present this idea as their opinion, but many studies backing the theory that "more is not always best."
Been watching Jordan for years and I remember one of the referenced TV clips where she was demonstrating how her toddler son was taught to not waste toilet paper squares. That's pretty frugal. I unconsciously count the squares as well. And Jordan was using the leftover lint from the dryer for house insulation in the walls. Fast forward a few years, Winter 2021 she shared a Christmas video in which she allocated $500 budget per child. That to me was mind blowing. What a difference. Perhaps finances are much better now and the scarcity mindset is there and shows itself in different ways. We tend to overbuy in some areas while living with the fear that it's not enough. I think that she is in a much better financial state now and perhaps there is no need to be as frugal. Her content might have shifted as such. Not advertising consumerism here, it's a big problem we all face. It was that Christmas video in 2021 that made me pull the plug and start my own YT channel. If she can do it, so can I. I saw it as inspirational. But yes, consumerism, fast fashion, fleeting trends, affordable cheap products are a problem we all need to be mindful of.
@@paulaa.6833 What is your channel?
I'm a little dizzy from all the pop ups and edits and stuff 😵💫
I miss your old videos… you don’t need to keep up with the times. You do TH-cam, not short content. Please go back
She just recently became a single mother, so get off her back. She’ll do what works for her. She doesn’t even owe you what she is putting out, so either be grateful and enjoy, or go away.
I always look forward to your videos! ♥️ But I really had a hard time with the new editing style - all the flying text was way too much. Guidelines* was also spelt wrong.
@@ohkay2090 Spelt is also the British past tense of spell. The more you know 🌈
Then find something different to watch. 🤦♀️
Green pisatchio r awesome shelled
I wonder who takes the shells off 🤷🏼♀️
Make sure you give away the uneaten snacks to a Homesless Shelter or neighbours!! Remember your original videos where you asked neighbours for food!!!
I love how organized your pantry is!!
In my state (MN) all kids pre-K to 12 get free breakfast and lunch at school now :)
No such thing as free. Tax payers are paying the bill. I think it’s sad to not pack your child’s lunch. Do you really want the school taking over what is OUR responsibility?
@@conservativemama3437 , "No such thing as free". That phrase is so tiring. I'm not 12. I understand that my taxes pay for every government program. That's not the point. The point is that every child - regardless of household income or the amount of time their parents have to prepare meals - can eat. No one has to go hungry and the school meals guarantee those children get a large part of their nutrition needs met for the day. Any parent still has the option to send a packed lunch with their child. So no one is taking away your freedom to do so.
I love love this! My kids make their lunches as well, but try to only take the junk and not the rest. I love how it’s all sorted out. Thank you! I love your videos. ❤ you inspire me in so many ways!
Who makes the sandwich
I feel like I'm watching a CC video. Maybe tone down the words on screen a little. Still enjoying the content.
Carbs.
😂…plus sugar, salt, oils, preservatives, additives, food coloring, artificial flavors and chemicals.
@@BeautifulSunShine777they’re not your children, Karen. Where are your children while you spend all day obsessing over hers?
@@dearleah7299 They are at home with me eating a healthy snack. Thanks for asking.
@@BeautifulSunShine777 highly doubt that.
@@dearleah7299 Are you sure you don’t want to talk to someone about your anger issues? I noticed you compulsively replied in anger to at least a dozen or more comments. You might feel better after a digital detox. 😊
Jordan i love you! Thank you for your amazing talents and fun personality that you share and keeps us loving your channel and content. I am a mother of 7 and admire all you do.
I’m so surprised the kids are allowed nuts at school! That would make life easier!
Of course they can lol. Not all classes have kids with peanut allergies.
I’m in England and we are not allowed to include nuts in school lunches. It’s very common in most schools and nurseries
Just looked it up and didnt even find 20 nutfree schools all over germany. You could never implement that in my school. There is zero awarness. We have close to 400 kids. I dont have a clue who is allergic. There is no record of it. Dont have school nurses either. 😂
Would love another declutter clean with me also making breakfast meals!
Love everything about your channel, but the videos are a tad bit short!
Obviously you don’t know how much time it takes to edit a video, and she just recently became a single mother. Go complain to a therapist about her videos being too short. She doesn’t owe you.
How do you keep the sandwiches from getting soggy by the end of the week? Specifically the meat and cheese? PB&J just is soggy.
Keeping them in the freezer works for us; put it in the lunchbox in the morning and it is thawed by lunchtime.
Not everyone has issue with texture. Using wheat bread or less “soggy” breads helps.
If you put peanut butter on both sides of bread and jelly in the middle, it will prevent the soggy bread. 😊
Omg the text on the video is so irritating while trying to watch.
You are such a fun and inspiring lady ❤
These videos are not very pleasant to watch because they are so rushed in an effort to upload something. Talking a mile a minute and frequently mentioning you don't have much time to film. If you're going to commit to a YT channel at least make the necessary time in your schedule to film an unhurried video. Unfortunately, the flashing words/pictures are not adding value to the video.
If our lives become too busy or hectic it's wise to let a few things go - even YT. We can try to do a hundred things a day but if we're not doing any one thing well then we probably need to cut back and focus on the few things that are truly important like our families. YT is not essential.
Stop watching her videos instead of commenting over and over and over again. Damm this point you're just a hater.
She recently became a single mother, so shut up and stop your whining.
@@dearleah7299 @shaunteewillis3925 Sounds like you two would get along great. 😄
Long, LONG time follower, love the content but it’s really hard to watch with the subtitles and all the cut away’s in the newer editing style. Totally just constructive feedback.
Waaaay too much wording going on! The texts and images aren’t needed.
Well, she felt they were needed. It’s her channel.
I do a small scale version of this! Hey, if it works...
Why cant the kids eat at school? Ive never brought my lunch to school. How many of you guys took lunch to school? Just wondering (Not judging but if I had alot of kids I rather pay for them to have lunch at school because that is alot of work everyday for so many kids! 🤪)
I'm sorry, I cannot stand the new editing. 😢 Can't watch the video pastel a few seconds.
Agree. Love the video but the popping sounds and when the icons cover your face it's too much. I don't mind occasional text or text supporting what you say, but It needs to be toned down a bit. Otherwise great content! Also thanks for trying something new. 👍
Instead of the flashy (and distracting) texts and images, she could just add decent English subtitles in her videos.
It’s not a “little known fact” that buying a large bag is cheaper than individual bags. Everyone knows that. You pay for convenience.
Here's an idea: how about YOU make lunch for your kids? I made lunches every single day for my six kids AND my husband for years and years. What the heck are you doing while the kids are making their junkie pre-packaged lunch?
Who cares what you did! This isn’t about you. 🤦♀️
I kind of agree with you but I do like the way that she’s teaching her kids to learn responsibility. That said, it’s container after container of absolute garbage so they’re not getting much opportunity to use discernment.
@@ladymeringue9870 I agree but also I think that making lunch for for children shows them in a tangible way that mommy loves them and will take care of them. This method feels a little like the kids are too much on their own.
@@ladymeringue9870 and you think you have a valid opinion on the subject. 😂😂😂😂😂
I HAVE TO AGREE ABT THE EDITING … TOO BUSY AND MAKES IT DISTRACTING… CONSTRUCTIVE CRITICISM ❤
This seems like A LOT of food for a school lunch, make sure they’re not wasting the uneaten because schools give kids about 20 minutes to eat everything.
What she feeds her children, and whether or not they finish their food is none of your concern.
What ever happened to a sandwich, a cookie and a piece of fruit for children's lunch boxes? Mother of 5 children and they never had all the prepackaged rubbish. A waste of money and not good for their health. Where is the common sense here?
They’re not your children so it’s none of your concern what she feeds them.
You hate her so much why waste your time watching Jordan'sChannel? Go unsubcriced her channel. I am sure Jordan would not care if you exist Go byee!
@@dearleah7299 Just so long as the free health clinic is open and paid for by your taxes, all good.
I like your lunch and snack videos. Seems like a great system that works for you and your family.
This is probably an American thing but it truly blows my mind. One of each of all of these categories is an insane amount of ultra processed junk, calories and exessive waste. Our planet is on fire and more and more children are becoming obese. What is wrong with a sandwich or left overs from dinner, water and some fruit? For most kids that is plenty.
You seem hysterical. Its as if you are going to have a nervous breakdown. GUILT IS A TERRIBLE THING. IT WILL EAT YOU ALIVE.
This comment section is not a vibe
I miss the old days where it was a relateable and less edited version of budgeting, school systems, etc. I understand your life is very different so its a different video experience and it may be less relateable as time goes on but please stick to you the old video styles...less busy and more human.
who are these constant captions for...makes it really difficult to watch the video. it is distracting and makes me feel like you think iam a child where in addition to listening to you i had to be reinforced with the text.
when you have too many kids you have to run it like a prison. what a shame - maybe don't have so many kids if it is difficult to manage and you are going to be a single parent.
these criticizing comments are coming from people who have done nothing all day and are still in bed at 4pm
woooooooww never seenn so many judgy judgy comments on a video. Give her a break. This is pretty much how she always does things and it works for her. Don't like it, don't watch.
Jordan, we see in your videos that you touch and stretch your eyes so much. My nanny (grandmother we did not have a nanny or help) always said do not touch your eyes. Stop doing that. And then stop caking on makeup.
Stop telling others what to do with their own body. Her body not yours, or your grandmothers, or nanny. 🤦♀️
XO MARRIAGE on TH-cam the conference saved our marriage. It biblical based. Jimmy Evens and staff are so amazing!!!
What’s your point?
Your systems have always amazed me and helped our family of 5! Nice restock! Now to get my pantry organized and restocked too! Also, I enjoyed the editing! Added some extra detail to your video. 🩷
Dreary, boring comment surveillor is back trying to dissuade viewers from posting comments she doesn't like...🥱
