Thank you for posting, can you please make a video on the vegan meatballs
Love the idea of a storing a general list in notes with a checkmark! Thank you!!
The phone checklist is so smart!! Would you be able to share that as well? Via email?
Awesome!! Love you videos
You are awesome!!!
After watching a lot of your videos, I found that the things I did and how I would plan, prep and do things when my children were small were so much like how you do…including the meal planning. When I learned you are a nurse, it made TOTAL sense, Lol.
Nurses are trained to make plans, set goals, then constantly evaluate how those plans and goals are working and tweak them as needed. You have to be learn quickly to be organized and efficient and always think ahead or you won't survive once you graduate and get your first job. It becomes how your brain works even in your personal life, lol.
All four are now grown and gone, and it would have been so awesome to have had you tube and a channel like yours back then…
You are an amazing young woman!
Thank you Sonya. it's really helpful xx
You are a life saver. I never learned this stuff at home and I somehow made it to age 30 and really looking for role models. Besides the fact that I didn’t learn, I really would love to be good at home keeping and your channel is very inspirational and motivating. Thanks Sonya!
Great idea, Sonya! Pre-plan, then fill in where needed!
👍🙂
Thanks Sonya, it is always good to have a view of how someone else does planning.
Love your personality !! I have needed Inspiration from outside sources as I don't get from ppl around me!!! Till HaShem moves me to convert!! Can't wait!!!
That color blue looks so nice on you.
His can we get this list?
Thank you. This was very helpful. I’m going to make a list of all the staple items I have/need so I can keep better track of things.
My kids love sushi too but it can be very expensive so we tried a sushi bake and it was a huge hit. Easier than making individual sushi and a lot less expensive. Not sure if you have tried before but if you haven’t I definitely recommend.
You are so perfect and sweet💓 shalom from israel😘
Too low. I can't hear it unless I have it on my ear which is not practical because I have to keep my hands moving. Would you raise the volume or just rerecord the audio alot louder? Please.
Loved your grocery list is a great idea.
You are a generation saver!!! I will be starting all my Jewish traditions with you, such a blessing, your the mother I never had when it comes to kitchen traditions. Of course your probably younger than I am so I mean it in the “looking up to” way when I say Mother. 🙂 Thank you Sonya. 💐💕 B”H

This is so great. Love the check mark idea! ✅
Sonya, you are a role model! Thank you !
Hi Sonya, love your channel. I'm a religious Jewish mother, grandmother, and great-grandmother. So here is a tip for you to try
there is an App on the phone, Called "List Ease" It's a grocery shopping list. It has a pantry inventory. It took me a while to learn how to use it. But you are younger, so try. basically
so, try it. basically, everything you shop for is put into the pantry, and when you run out of something you put it into the grocery list, afterwards it goes back into the pantry. The App is free. Enjoy
Definitely useful. Thank you so much. I appreciate you.
Good Wednesday morning Sonya. I loved your video. I'm always looking for ways to make my life and home more organized. I work full time in a Memory Care Facility and for years I haven't had any children at home. My son has his own life he will be 31 this year and married for almost 3 years.
It seems that more often than not there's never enough time in the day or week to get everything done that needs done. I'm definitely going to be trying out your suggestions.
God Bless You Sonya. You're a very kind and awesome lady.
I am from Tajikistan and read word chalpak in your menu. We say chalpak to flat bread. Do you mean chalpak flat bread as well?
Perfect
I know you made this a while ago but one thing that is widely available now is to order online and pick up in your car. You just text to the store that you are there and they bring out your order. My daughter uses this method as she meal plans. She says it not only saves her the time she would be picking the items from the store shelves herself but keeps her from impulse buying or giving in to the kids begging for an item!
There are apps that you can use to help you with grocery shopping I am using our groceries this is the app called our groceries
