I really am a person that loves traditions. I know that I’ve told you guys this before but I really do have a lot of traditions for my children because I want something that they can hold onto and remember and hopefully share with their kids when they have a family. I grew up in a family with traditions, traditions for the first day of school, Christmas Eve, Thanksgiving, birthdays, the start of summer and the start of Christmas break. My mom was really big on doing traditions for us to to build memories so a lot of those I have taken and carried on with my family.
My children are older but I do really love putting stockings together and they really do look forward to it. I don’t care how old you are stockings are awesome, I even love my husband and girls filling my stocking. Sometimes my husband does a good job sometimes he doesn’t but I’m thankful that my stocking is filled with things that he finds & he always explains to me why he chose them.
Oh it’s just another thing that we do to make memories for our children to carry-on hopefully to our grandchildren and our great grand children. Can you tell that I’m kind of emotional as I get older, I’m seeing our lives change so much with our children and how they are not too far from having their own families and building their own traditions. So I’m trying to cling onto as much as I can 🥹😍
I hope you had a wonderful Christmas and thank you so much for supporting our family and watching our every day living and family traditions.

It's so refreshing to see a video of a mom preparing Christmas for her children without spending thousands of dollars just for shock value. Thanks for being what we all need right now!

It’s refreshing no matter what…my husband grew up in a family whom always loved to spend money on kids. He turned out just fine…lol it’s ok to spend money. Never everrrr judge….my sons best friend was very “spoiled” people would say….people did not know he had a brain surgery and not much time on this planet…so they let him have whatever he wanted while he was alive. Never judge. You never know….love ❤

Heather don't listen to the hate because not one single person should be throwing any shade your way! You're an amazing Mom who loves, respects and cherishes her family and it shows. You don't overshare, you actually cook real food for your family and nothing you ever do is for shock value! There are some nasty people out there on social media and you're FAR from being one. Keep being you! ❤

I must say, you're a breathe of fresh air when it comes to large Family influencer channels. You bought practical gifts tailored to each child's age and what they like to go inside the stockings instead of just blind buying the same exact number of a bunch of Amazon trash for every child just to create a video. Nice to see someone who doesn't Gift teenagers the same things they gift toddlers. Your children are so lucky and blessed, you create a magical Christmas for them without all of the unnecessary waste. Good job mama!!❤️❤️

You are a bonafide SUPER MOM! I mean really, Heather! It’s abundantly clear you care for your kids in the most loving way. You’re not only raising good kids…you’re raising good humans! I admire your families work ethic among many other things. So glad to have a mom like you in this KZfaq space! 🥹❤️

I know this video was 7 months ago, but I wanted to say I love your family but especially love you as a mother. Im a mom of 2 grown children that are 26 and 29 and I still cook my daughter's favorite meals or bake for her. Just because your children get older, you never stop being a parent, and I love that you still do things for them. They will always remember that. I feel terrible you have to explain yourself to the ones that just don't get it and to the ones that didn't have moms like us then I wish I could be there for you in that way. I will never stop being a mom no matter how old my children are. 🥰

I love the fact u buy such thoughtful and needed/practical gifts. People are so fed up of seeing certain 'family bloggers' spending 1000's.and 1000's of dollars on crap thats had no thought put into it whatsoever other then how expensive it was! Plus we know the kids eat what you cook and.you don't waste food 'just because you can' please never change your content! You are the only 1 doing it the 'right' way!

@rp1740 7 ай бұрын

Heather, you are so right! There will be a day when the kids don't come around my hubby keeps prepping me for that day. My two girls and their family are here every Sunday for family dinner. Cherish this time you have with them, it's ok to spoil them they are yours to do so. You are such a wonderful Mom, they will remember these precious times!

I personally love your family. I think your a great mom. To all these haters: no one likes a negative Nancy🤬, start being a positive Pamela😁 ...... to momma Bell, misery loves company and don't ever explain how you do things, why you don't do this or that. Keep doing things the way you do them, not one parent in this world is perfect. Honestly what you do for these kids is not only life changing, but selfless. Both you and your husband have huge hearts. You show these kids love, do many things with these kids etc. They may have never had a life until you guys got them. Your family is the best. Much love from Indiana❣️❣️❣️

You know Heather, I'm 36. I lost my mom bcos of cancer when I was 7yo, my dad when I was 12yo. I only have a lil memory of them especially my mom, but I always remember that we always have the best christmas day! We always have Christmas stockings, we always have the best christmas presents because of our aunts from the US, and bcos we are not rich, we just get to eat steak during Christmas eve and New Year's eve, that is why every time I see steak, it always reminds me of our family being complete during those special dinners. Those are the core memories I have. Life is too short to listen to those toxic people, I know its hard to not mind them, but please just continue being you, continue being the light of this family. Continue making core memories for these kids. ♥️

Heather, you mentioned people who give you advice, or share tips, which I don't think I have ever thought to do, except during this video 🙂 ... I kept thinking: if you line up the stockings along the long edge of the bed that maybe it would be easier to divvy out the gifts you're going to stuff in them. That's it, that was my thought. Thank you for your recitation of "A Visit From St. Nicholas," it brought tears to my eyes - I haven't heard it in so long. I hope you all had a wonderful Christmas. ✝️🙏🕊️🎄

It is different as our children get older. We raise them to become responsible working adults. I find so much joy in watching my boys grow into adults. I’m happy they still involve me by asking question and including me. Their dad has passed so that has been a journey. As parents we grow as our role changes. The role is just as important but it is different. 💜💜

No wasting money here!! If you're not subscribed & watching you should be..bc the world is missing out on such a hard working family INCLUDING the kids!! No matter what age..A wonderful Mom (Heather) and a Fantastic Dad (Luke)..The BELLS ARE THE BEST & WILL BLOW UP IN 2023 FOR SURE!! THEY ARE AWESOME!! P.S.
