I love how "imperfect" this was. Like how your meal plan is flexible and not insanely regimented. Or when you were talking through the organization of your boy's drawers how you dont stress about it looking perfect and you also don't stress them out about it. This balanced, low stress, flexible attitude is SO needed on YT especially in routine/cleaning/organization vids. 👏👏👏
So proud of you you not only do your house work and taking care of your kids but you try to make us a video that we can join and learning from your life and family too thanks for that!
I had 10 children. Saturday nights were similar to yours. Everybody took baths/showers. I trimmed nails brushed out hair and curled the girls hair. Your post brought back a lot of memories. All my children are grown with littles of their own. Currently I am raising my one of my granddaughters.
I so appreciate what you said in the beginning about not wanting to come across as super woman. And pointing out that you have a great husband and children help with chores. I also have a wonderful husband, and my children do chores. We have 6 children with our youngest being 19 mo old twin boys. When I see some you tube moms speak as if they do it all themselves I can’t stand it! Because I know that there is no way they do all that they do all on their own. And they don’t. They have family or baby sitters, and maybe even someone that deep cleans their home, not to mention supportive husbands. We all need people! The help I receive comes from unexpected places at unexpected times provided by the Lord and I am thankful! This was one of my favorite videos of yours so far. I’m a work in progress with my big family. I’ve told my husband, “I know the problem is not that we have too many children. So I need to figure out the problem and solution to this or that.” I am also thankful I’m never alone because the Lord is with me always and I can cry out to Him for wisdom, even when it comes to laundry and managing my home! Thank you!
Oh man, it was already so clear from your other videos how great of a person you are. But the entire intro to your video really warmed my heart. Your transparency, empathy, and genuine commitment to living a full and happy life- and to helping your viewers do the same- is really admirable. Your family is very lucky to have you!!!!
Sunday’s are my favorite day of the week. House gets a deep clean, I finish all my course work for the week, grocery shopping, then I write my to do list for the week and write my planner for the week. I also like to do a face mask drink tea and write in my journal just so I am fully prepared for the week. Love Sunday’s 😇
You are an amazing mom and not too many people have the patience and love to take care of all this kids, God bless you abandantly and may your cup overflow 👏👏👏👏👏👏🤗
I love routines! Life savers. I have six kids but only three left at home now. I’ve homeschooled for 25 years and I have to have order to start school. I don’t Neal plan but buy/stock our usuals and just prepare and plan daily. I always have a meal plan by noon and start dinner about 4-4:30pm. Huge game changer when I started doing that. But I also like to use Sunday evenings as a prep day for the week. Mostly just getting order after the weekend and jump starting my Monday! 😁🙌🏻❤️
SO appreciate the honest and REAL approach to your videos. Refreshing to know that we don’t have to be super human to do all the things. Kennedy looks to have some real artistic talent with her painting 🙂
I really like watching the meal prep videos. I'm a mama to 13 kiddos so my world revolves around what to feed them. I'm always looking for new ideas. I love both of your channels 😊
You deserve millions of subscribers! Hope that happens soon for you!😊 love seeing your family and how you keep it together even homeschooling and organized home and all that!😍👏🏼
The only thing I can say is that I respect you and think you are a superwoman. I send your video to my daughter (like I always do) this is what I said to her: Ik vind haar geweldig. Ze heeft 8 kinderen, geeft zelf les en doet het hele huis. Ik snap niet waar ze de energie vandaan haalt. It's Dutch. I'm telling my daughter how awesome you are. Truly an inspiration. Groetjes Rosa.
But how? My kids literally never leave me alone to get anything done. While I am cleaning, they are messing up something else. Lol. You are killing it though. Great tips.
I think it takes A LOT of practice for them to reach that point! Our older children are good about it--- while our 4 year old is almost there most days with a few more needing me days. Then the baby will need a lot of practice -- around 2 to 3 is the biggest training process for us!
Idk if it'd be as easy for your shower type as mine, but my little trick for cleaning our shower is to do it while I'm taking a shower. I have scrubber with soap in it and the shower rinses as I go.
Making lists have saved me many times, especially starting in the middle of chaos. And love your videos, thanks for sharing your life. May God continue blessing you and giving you wisdom 💕
Looks like you're an adoptive mom. We adopted my two girls last Summer. High five from another adoptive mom friend. I like your channel. I'll be here for awhile. I just found you.
Thanks for sharing. I don't have children any more but since it's just me now I'm find it harder to keep things going. I know that may sound funny but for me it's now then when I had kids. But I am going to do the list thing. I used to do that but stopped after I was àlone. But I need order and I'm disabled so I can't do everything in day like I used to. See you run around brings back memories. I wish I could have little ones in my home once more. I love the way you enjoy your children. I was too focused on being perfect. No such thing. But you have à lot of good àdvise. I love your fàmily!!! I don't know how to get my"à" back to normal.
Angela...wow we zowie!! I can not believe how calm & serene you are! You have MUCH going on. Your such a great mom. I don't care about the looks of your house...clean & neat, but it's a sweet bonus that it looks sooo good. Much love and respect to you from St. John's, Michigan.
I am a huge advocate for list making but do mine on Sunday evening for the week. I also have a place for everything as it’s so much easier in ones life. I applaud your organization especially with eight children.
Good Lord, you are superwoman, this is simply amazing. You deserve a break, and a mom of the decade award! Side note, do the older kids help out? Sorry if you'd already answered this Q. Keep up the great work!
I think sometimes people forget that you added more children to your family over the years so you have been able to adjust your schedule and your Sundays over the years.
A game changer for me & my 6 littles is having one of their dresser drawers be all ready-to-go outfits. I just put a shirt around pants that they can grab & go. Dressers now stay clean & organized & they stay out of the drawers with random clothes pieces. No more digging through & having clean clothes mixed in with dirties on their floors. Game. Changer. 💗
I'm in my 11th week of my third pregnancy and have suffered from extreme nausea. I can't wait to get back to cleaning and routines! I've been honoring my body and resting but it's so nice to watch someone else clean. 😂 Good work, your routines are inspirational.
One of the boys was spinning Benji in the door jumper and I didn't realize the video was on fast at first. Had me laughing 😂
Oh wow, thanks for saying that. I was so shocked just now :D
GutenMorgan Farms I saw that too! He was “unwinding” him- the video was on 4x speed so it looks like he’s spinning him 😂 I promise he’s not!

I love all those “day in the life”, routine, cooking, cleaning, and homeschooling videos! Keep ‘em coming please!
I had 10 children. Saturday nights were similar to yours. Everybody took baths/showers. I trimmed nails brushed out hair and curled the girls hair. Your post brought back a lot of memories. All my children are grown with littles of their own. Currently I am raising my one of my granddaughters.
can you do a house tour
yes- it will be up after the declutter series is done.
I second this!
@@angela.braniff Yayy! 🙂
i seriously cant get over how cute the twins and benji are
I'm biased- but they're pretty darn precious! :)
Rose making that “list” right next to to you in the beginning was adorable.

I would also love to see a day in a life of CR :)
Misis Adventures I agree! How is he able to stay home? I’d absolutely love for my hubby to help so much!
good idea
Not to be nosy but what does your husband do? Your home is beautiful home and I know 8 kids can get pricey! You all are very blessed.

You are a MACHINE!! My goodness! I love your videos and you just have such a beautiful look on life and great humor🙌🏼🙌🏼🌟🌟
I love that you get the kids to do chores but do your own 'extras' such a respectful household 💜
Rosie is mama’s shadow 😊

Since you have your office and done so much decluttering, you seem very relaxed and organized! I love it!
You motivated me to start cleaning my house. I was cleaning while watching this video. Love your vibes.
You give yourself and family so much grace. Patience and love are key. Thanks for reminding us of what’s important.
I love families with lots of children!
SO appreciate the honest and REAL approach to your videos. Refreshing to know that we don’t have to be super human to do all the things. Kennedy looks to have some real artistic talent with her painting 🙂
She is a wonderful lady with kind heart nd with many talents 😍
I really like watching the meal prep videos. I'm a mama to 13 kiddos so my world revolves around what to feed them. I'm always looking for new ideas. I love both of your channels 😊
Love watching routines!
me too! It's interesting to see how other people "do life" :)
You need to be proud of yourself , literally you're the perfect mom big love for you 💛💛
You deserve millions of subscribers! Hope that happens soon for you!😊 love seeing your family and how you keep it together even homeschooling and organized home and all that!😍👏🏼
You do so well looking after 8 kids!!!!
I am so impressed by your positive life attitude. I think you are a great woman and thank you for sharing your life with us really 👍💐

This is so inspiring! You may not be a superhero, but I think you’re secretly Mary Poppins! 💕
hahaha! you are too funny!
Watching your videos are my laundry “treat”. I actually enjoy folding laundry now!
But how? My kids literally never leave me alone to get anything done. While I am cleaning, they are messing up something else. Lol. You are killing it though. Great tips.
A Colley 😂 that’s how I feel. I hope my kids get better at it, but even Rosie sitting nicely while the list was being written I was like 😱 amazed.
I think it takes A LOT of practice for them to reach that point! Our older children are good about it--- while our 4 year old is almost there most days with a few more needing me days. Then the baby will need a lot of practice -- around 2 to 3 is the biggest training process for us!
I love these types of videos. They are motivating to me. I see you being productive and organized and it inspires me so thank you so much!!
So happy to greet you, and say how much I like watching you all! Thanks
I have been BINGING your channel! I love it and now I want to have a ton of kids and just be as amazing of a person as you are!!!
So inspirational !!! Makes me realize I have no excuses for my laziness 😂😂🙈
I need to learn from you how to handle all the stress with kids...Love your family.Thank you.
Idk if it'd be as easy for your shower type as mine, but my little trick for cleaning our shower is to do it while I'm taking a shower. I have scrubber with soap in it and the shower rinses as I go.
Making lists have saved me many times, especially starting in the middle of chaos. And love your videos, thanks for sharing your life. May God continue blessing you and giving you wisdom 💕
I follow you from Romania, far, far away.. You are awesome. God bless you and your family
Looks like you're an adoptive mom. We adopted my two girls last Summer. High five from another adoptive mom friend. I like your channel. I'll be here for awhile. I just found you.
Your videos are just the best motivation for me (and your homeschool curriculum videos are life-savers)!
I have 3 kids and I slowly got crazy, but your videos help me believe that I can do it! Your amazing 🥰

Being a mommy of TWO sets of twins and a 1 year old it is BZ! Prepping is a lifesaver
You're my hero. Literally. I want to be a mom like you one day
I am a huge advocate for list making but do mine on Sunday evening for the week. I also have a place for everything as it’s so much easier in ones life. I applaud your organization especially with eight children.
Love how the cat follows you
Love how your little kitty follows you around the house 💕🐱
Aw 9:19 the pics of your little babies is so cute
I’ve recently started a Sunday routine, and I love starting the week ahead of the game!
Didn't watch your decluttering videos but your house looks incredible! Didn't realize how beautifully decorated it is xx
Wow you are a gift from god. It’s truly amazing to see you take care of you kids

Good Lord, you are superwoman, this is simply amazing. You deserve a break, and a mom of the decade award! Side note, do the older kids help out? Sorry if you'd already answered this Q. Keep up the great work!
I loved this video. Thank you for sharing with us. It was so helpful to actually have a realistic and encouraging Sunday routine.
i loved how your cat is always there. animals are the best
I absolutely love to-do lists! My S.O thinks I’m weird for using them for everything but they are helpful
I think sometimes people forget that you added more children to your family over the years so you have been able to adjust your schedule and your Sundays over the years.
I am really interested to see your meals for the week. I am constantly trying to find new ideas.
Those girlies are talented artists!!!
I would love to see how you are incorporating work into your week!
Love this! Prep will save your life no matter how many kids you have!
I somehow just found your channel today. Your kiddos are adorable and you are absolutely gorgeous!!
What an amazing mom you are! Very inspiring and looking forward to seeing more ❤️
Thank you for sharing your wonderful ideas. Beautiful family.
A game changer for me & my 6 littles is having one of their dresser drawers be all ready-to-go outfits. I just put a shirt around pants that they can grab & go. Dressers now stay clean & organized & they stay out of the drawers with random clothes pieces. No more digging through & having clean clothes mixed in with dirties on their floors. Game. Changer. 💗
You are an amazing woman! Many wonderful blessings to you!
I think its good to teach your children to help specially you guys are a family of 8
I'm here for all the cleaning and meal planning videos. Love it!
You seem worked out , May God be with you 👍
I'm in my 11th week of my third pregnancy and have suffered from extreme nausea. I can't wait to get back to cleaning and routines! I've been honoring my body and resting but it's so nice to watch someone else clean. 😂 Good work, your routines are inspirational.
I love that your cat hung out for awhile.
At least I can watch your videos as a support.
Hope u b happy all the time.
Where did you get your refrigerated meal planner? Nice to see an A type mom like me to get ideas.
The glass cleaner you use (in the spray can) is LIFE CHANGING. It's the BEST, NON STREAKING glass cleaner ever. It's all I use now. Great video.
You scared my disorganized self so much with that title.
“ITS SUNDAY!?”
Your house is so beautiful, I love the kids bedrooms so nice and neat! Not too much toys in their room. ❤️
an evening/bedtime routine would be great!
I have no routine whatsoever🤣
- A 20 year old university student
enjoy it! :)
You'll get there. Take your time and enjoy being able to care for yourself for a lite while. 😊😊
Amanda Weeks thank you!
I don't think I've ever seen your cat so much, so adorable following you around. 😂
Girl, you’re a superstar! ❤️ I’m sure keeping lists def helps keep you organized! You’re doing a great job!!👍🏻
Podcasts and housework is a total game changer
I totally get the laundry zone out thing..
I can not wait for the kids chore routine!!!!!
Thank you Angela for sharing!
