  1. My favorite Hang 10 video is Episode 4 because it is just a wonderful sight to see the whole family working together, and the children learning the ins-and-outs of the business.

  4. My favorite Hang 10 Video is #4 because, as I posted in the comments for the videos, of the family dynamic of your business. You not only teach the business aspect but there is also the getting along, each doing his/her part to make not only the business but the family run as honoring and fruitful! So much of that is lacking in our world today because so many are out only for themselves, leaving family in the dust to accomplish things that will someday fade away. Family is forever! <3

  5. I just love the story of how you two met. Similar to my husband and I at an Eagles Superbowl party. I, not him, saw him first and said to my friends….”See that guy over there, I’m gonna leave with him.” I did and we just passed our 30th anniversary. I love the way the kids told your story.

  7. My favorite hang 10 video was number three, kids these days do not get enough exercise. Electronics are taking over. So kudos to you for me making it happen!
    Oh and I am subscriber to your YouTube channel. I love your stuff by the way. Thanks for all your products!

  10. My favorite episode is #4. I enjoyed hearing about why you guys chose to get into business like this.

  12. i liked video #4 the best I think, because i learned how the family business works, but they are all good. Nice job!

  13. I love Episode 4 about the family business. I so love this family’s values and teaching them to their children through the family business…awesome!

  15. I enjoyed all of the episodes because they are relevant to speak out loud for today.

    With genuine love and commitment for marriage and family,
    families could live in harmony within themselves and with others in society. Your family has demonstrated this.

  16. I liked the staying fit video…and all of the rest, too! I’m a homeschool mom alum, so I love seeing homeschool families at work and play together.

  17. I actually liked two videos the best: The one where Mike Huckabee was interviewing them on his show and the other one of how Colter makes the soaps and does the blending! Very interesting!

  18. I liked number 4 the best because it it awesome that it is a family business and that it also teaches the kids responsibility.

  20. Episode no. 3, Getting and Staying fit. It was very motivating and loved watching everyone doing their best to stay fit and healthy.

  23. Episode #3, Getting & Staying Fit….Great to see someone elses motivation to stay fit..its never convenient, unless we make it so….

  25. My favorite Hang 10 video is Episode 3 because I love how you exercise with the family. I too think exercise is very important and I love it when my kids exercise with me. Your family is so motivating!!!

  26. My favorite Hang 10 video is Episode 3: Getting and Staying Fit because it shows lots of examples of exercising together as a family.

  28. My favorite Hang 10 so far is the family business episode because it’s encouraging to see the family work together to reach a common goal also the teaching opportunities you are able to create with your kids on a daily basis by involving them in the business are incredible 🙂

  30. My favorite hang 10 video is How I met your Mother.Because I would go to where they told me not to also.

  32. My favorite hang 10 video is Doing Chores, because I love hearing that your children all have chores to be responsible for, but also that the littlest ones aren’t that crazy about them. We have the same thing happen in our home!

  34. I loved the exercise one because my granddaughter loves to hula hoop. So reminded me of her!

  35. My favorite Hang 10 video is episode 3 on exercise. I love the fact that you encourage everyone to exercise! I know how important it is and am so glad you lead your children to see the benefits of it and also how fun it can be!

  36. My favorite Hang 10 video is episode 2, because I love NYC and it was really sweet to see how excited the kids were and hear how much they loved the Broadway shows and bagels!! And I agree with PJ that it is important to show our kids other cultures and see how other people live.

  37. My favorite Hang 10 video is Episode 4

    I believe this is my favorite Episode because you are
    instilling in your children a good work ethic and giving them support in what
    they learn and what they believe. They
    will grow up being terrific workers and they will have a great back ground in
    what is right and what is wrong so they can go forward and be successful in
    family and business one day.

  38. In your newsletter it says that your deodorant style lotions are marked down to $2, but the website has then listed at $12

  39. My favorite Hang 10 video is Episode 1: How I Met Your Mother because of the old photos and how the kids retell it.

  41. My favorite Hang 10 video is Episode 3 because I found that it really inspired me to get up and get moving. I watched the video then took my dog outside for a long walk. We hadn’t done that for quite awhile. Thanks.

  42. “My favorite Hang 10 video is Episode _2 jonases invade new york city___ because ____ of how excited the kids were to see 3 (?) Broadway shows. that’s something that young people don’t often like to see. and the eating of bagels every day for breakfast, man i would like to try a new york bagel, bet they are the best ____.”

  43. Boy….It is really hard to pick a favorite episode because i enjoyed them all! but…“My favorite Hang 10 video is Episode 2-Invading NYC because it just tickled me to hear what the kids liked about their trip (especially the Bway shows like Lion King and Phantom!) and just the mental picture of all of you “hiking” the city brought a smile to my face.” I think NYC got something out of the trip too! 🙂
    and yes I have followed you on YouTube!

  44. My favorite Hang 10 video is Episode number 2-NYC. I loved to hear how excited the children were and see it in the pictures as they explored the city.

  45. My favorite is How I Met Your Mother; I love the kids’ versions of the story, and the fact that PJ is an Alpha Phi.

  49. My favorite Hang 10 video is Episode 4 the family business. I love that you are teaching your children business values as well as learning how to work together as a family. And that is one reason why I choose to buy my products from you because everyone is involved in making such superb products!

  50. My favorite Hang 10 video is Episode 3 because I hit the gym regularly and believe it really helps my health, attitude, and overall well-being.

  51. My favorite Hang 10 Video is Episode 4 the family business because it is so nice to see a family spending time together, learning , building a business and getting along with each other. Things we do not see in the times we live in today.

  53. My favorite Hang 10 video is Episode 4 (The Family Business) because I totally agree and support the way you are educating your children and the values you are instilling in them! It’s a “perk” knowing that when I place an order not only will I get a quality product but I’m also supporting values that I respect. Good Job!

  54. My favorite Hang 10 video is Getting and Staying fit because I really admire how you have done such an amazing job of educating your family not only mentally, but physically as well.

  55. My favorite Hang 10 video is Episode 1 How I met your mother because it was so funny to hear how your children described the event, the things they remembered and how their versions were so different. Thank you for sharing all of the wonderful videos, I can’t imagine how wonderful your family video library is.

  57. My favorite Hang 10 video is Episode 2: The Jonases Invade New York City. Loved hearing what each family member picked as their favorite NYC memory!

  58. My Favorite Hang 10 video is Episode 4, The Family Business”. It is so refreshing to such work ethic being demonstrated and taught in such a loving, wonderful environment. I love ordering from this kind of place in the good ol’ USA!! Thanks so much!!!

  64. My favorite Hang 10 video is Episode 3 Getting and Staying Fit because I like u integrate family time with staying fit. It’s wonderful to see a dynamic family like yours raising strong & spiritual children. Thank you for your contributions in them to the world =)

  67. My favortite Hang 10 video is episode 1, How I Met Your Mother because without that, none of this would exist!

  69. My favorite Hang 10 video is Episode 1, How I Met Your Mother. I love listening to children re-tell the story of how their parents met – precious!

  71. I honestly adoooreeed alll your videos and I’m so glad that I found your youtube page! But my favorite Hang 10 is definitely Episode 4:The Family business. I love the emphasis that you all have on family. I feel that nowadays people forget the importance and worth of creating a strong family dynamic and having that time to just sit and talk to one’s family members. Being a part of a family is truly such a blessing because it is only those people that will genuinely love you and support you, allowing you to confide in them 100%. I adored hearing the little ones saying that “the best part of the family business” is “working with my brothers and sisters” to “get the work done.” Plus all the perks of not having to wake up early for school and customizing your own schedule! But what really resonated was when you mentioned that people live way beyond their means. This is something that I know well, because I’m going to college right now in order to help my father with his debt. I know now how imperative t is to make good financial decisions, and I loved how you are teaching your little ones from such a young age to be smart with money. Again, this episode was incredibly touching because to see these little ones so involved and loving to their family, it’s something so special. Congrats to your beautiful family, you inspire me to have a family like yours someday! 🙂
    P.S I follow GMS on youtube 🙂

  73. My fave is Episode 3! Love the hoola hooping around the neck – gotta strengthen those neck muscles 🙂

  74. I like episode 4 – the family business because we are a homeschooling family too. I love being with my 4 kids all day and enjoy teaching all aspects of good decision-making, values, morals, Christian faith, hard work, working together, etc.

  77. I liked Episode 4 because I think it is important for children to have good knowledge of the aspects of business at an early age to give them the good foundation for a better life as an adult.

  78. My favorite video is Episode #3. It brings back happy memories of playing basketball, since Jim and I have the same wide width sweatbands on our heads!! I didn’t think they made them anymore!! It also reminds me that I too, need to set a specific time aside and start exercising! Your gym is really neat. Thanks for taking the time and sharing so many aspects of your life with us.

  80. “My favorite Hang 10 video is Episode 1 because I am a big ole sucker for a love story!.”

  82. my favorite hang ten video is episode one “how I met your mother” Afterall, that’s the beginning of the whole story of GMS.

  84. I follow GMS on you tube. My favorite hang ten video episode is #7 meeting the whole family on Huckabee. It was the first I heard of “Goat Milk Stuff” , Love it!

  87. My favorite Hang 10 video is episode 4 because what is so lacking in America today is importance of family and good work ethics. I can only hope that lots of people will watch this develop more of these in their families. Thanks for being the example.

  88. My favorite Hang 10 episode is #4 because it shows how you are teaching the kids good values and skills that they will need in life. It is making work fun and rewarding. You are good role models for your children and we need more people like you in this world.

  89. My favorite Hang 10 episode is #3 because I am a dietitian and when I look around, I see that our society is grossly overweight and unhealthy. It is nice to see a family that emphasizes going outside to play and working out. When parents role model good health, the kids usually follow suit. Great Job Jonas family!!

  90. I love all shows and my favorite Hang 10 video is Episode #2 because I see how the kids are very exited exploring and learning more about the world beyond their place: enjoying the shows, different food, etc. 🙂

    I follow GMS on YouTube .

  91. My favorite Hang 10 video is Episode #4 because I loved hearing how you wanted to teach good work ethic & good values in your children. I think it’s so important for families to be together, do life together & learn from one another. I loved seeing how they all know just what to do & hearing them talk about how they like being together. I think it’s amazing how you as a family work together.

  93. My favorite Hang 10 is Episode # 2 because I enjoyed hearing all the adventures your family had in New York. Being from NJ, I could follow your activities. Loved how the children loved the bagels. Nothing like our New Jersey bagels from the Bagel Shop in Oakhurst!!!

  94. I like the episode about exercise because it shows the importance you put on it. It’s something lacking in today’s electronic environment!

  95. “My favorite Hang 10 video is Episode #4 because as you said, the family values are instilled in your children at a very early age.”

  98. My favorite Hang 10 video is #1 “How I Met Your Mother”. It’s so funny & I’m a sucker for romantic stories. All the kids versions of how they met cracks me up! LOL 😉

  99. Favorite is 4 because this is the way families grow by involving everyone.Wish I could have had an opportunity like this years ago,blessings to you all.

  100. My favorite Hang 10 video is Episode #4 because of how you work together, play together and teach the kids how to run a business. I love how you include them in the decision making process!!

  103. My favorite Hang 10 vid so far is :

    HANG 10 EPISODE 4: THE FAMILY BUSINESS.

    Coming from a family with 9 kids, I appreciate the hard work and play a large family goes through. Lots of love, companionship and respect shines through your vids. God bless you Jonas family.

  104. My favorite Hang 10 video is Episode 1 because it shows Mom & Dad, “rebels with a cause” ….a love cause that is! and created a beautiful family with a wonderful product.”

  105. My favorite hang ten video would have probably been episode 3, but unfortunately I had trouble downloading the video. BUT…. I have to say I loved seeing your family pictures from Topsail Island….We actually were on the Island at the same time for a brief family get away. After we watched them release the sea turtles, my husband said as we walked back to our van, I think I saw the Goats Milk Stuff vehicle. Isn’t that where we buy our soap? 🙂 Hope you all had as much fun as we did. The Island was beautiful and the kids had much fun. What a field trip to see the sea turtles and study up on them. Love Homeschooling and love Goatsmilk Soap!! 🙂

  106. My favorite Hang ten video is episode 4 because it was inspiring to see your love for one another. I like how you as parents intentionally teach working together, working hard, and being responsible. Your family structure is such an encouragement to me!

  107. I have trouble deciding which Hang 10 video is my favorite because I enjoy watching all of them. My favorite Hang 10 video is episode 6, Food Shopping for a Large Family, because I am fascinated by your beautifully organized pantry, and love the way your family works together and has fun shopping while learning important life lessons.

  109. My favorite Hang Ten video is episode 6, because I loved the podcasts about your grocery list & pantry (which I now have in place at our home) and I loved seeing it in action. 🙂

  110. My favorite hang 10 video is episode 3 because I work for a health club and I think fitness is extremely important. It’s really great that these kids understand exercising is fun instead of just playing video games all the time.

  111. My favorite is episode 4, The family business. I think parents could take some pointers from the Jonas about instilling values and business sense in the children from a young age. And I love watching the children.

  112. My favorite Hang 10 video is Episode “how i met your mother” because i think its important that the kids know the history behind how the family came to be and it’s cute how all the kids have a little bit of a different story, like a family’s game of telephone.

  114. My favorite Hang 10 video is Episode “How I met your mother” because of Jim’s blatant honesty about the New Jersey hair and tiny white shorts lol

  115. My favorite episode is the “Family Business” because I like to see children understand the fruits of hard work. Where we live, many children are handed extremely expensive items and work for nothing, therefore, they don’t appreciate what they have. I like the way your children are invested in the business and the family. I also love the way each family member signs his or her name to the invoice. I enjoy looking to see which member(s) filled my order. The signatures and little notes make buying the soap more personable rather than just another internet order.

  116. My favorite episode is the “Family Business” because it is refreshing to hear how much the kids love to be together as a family and run the business together.

  117. My favorite episode was “How I met your Mother” She was warned not to go to that Frat House, and if she did ,do not go to the 3rd floor. All warnings were there but she went anyway. Thank goodness she didn’t listen to the warnings. For she met her one and only “True Love”. What a beautiful life they are making and to be “Blessed” with 8 loving and caring children.

  118. My favorite Hang 10 video is Episode 2 because I loved hearing about everyone’s experiences in New York!! When I went for the first time when I was 14, I had a very similar experience!! We walked everywhere to get the whole city experience and went to Broadway shows! I was blown away by Broadway! Such a fun time that I’ll never forget. Hearing about everyone’s experience brought me right back to those memories! I also loved episode 1 How I Met Your Mother!! Hearing the kids try to tell the story was so cute!! I laughed so hard when PJ was saying that she met Jim on the third floor, and Jim liked how PJ looked in her white shorts with the big Jersey hair!! Love it!! I would love to win this month! Especially that I need more moisture now that the winter months are upon and it’s my birthday this month 🙂

  123. My favorite Hang 10 video is Episode is “the family business” because I love seeing your family work together and hear about the values you work and live by. Hearing the kids give their reasons why they like the family business made me smile HUGE! XOXO

  124. My favorite Hang 10 video is Episode 6 because I also have a large family that does a lot of eating. I’m always interested in how others organize, stay on budget, and still get as much learning experience as possible! I also chuckled at the chores video because of “being smart” about the easiest chores.

  126. “NY trip” We just took a long trip (for us) & the memories are so great. I loved seeing your crew traveling & enjoying together

  127. My favorite Hang 10 video is Episode 4 because I admire how your family work together and love each other. It’s beautiful and wonderful what you have created as a family!

  128. My favorite Hang 10 video is Episode 1 because it shows how you both met and were then married. This is how it all started. “The third floor of the Beach House.” If you didn’t meet Goat Milk Stuff probably would never begun. I also liked the kids involvement in the video describing the start of your relationship. Real cute.

  130. Mary K Stinson.
    My favorite Hang Ten video was number 5 because I am a huge believer in exercise. I believe it is the one best drug of choice. I am 80 years old and I exercise every day and I feel like I did in my 60’s when I tore up my deck by myself. Excersize impacts every part of your body which leads me to your goat milk soaps which is used on the outside and is so wonderful. I am so glad your soap was a gift at a shower I attended and then ordered some of the larger bars.

  131. My favorite video is Brett paying her taxes. Make this into a commercial and play it every April. Brett has a lovely voice.

  132. My favorite hang 10 video is episode 4: The Family business b/c of the mention of family values and morals. Also, learning to live within a budget.

  133. My favorite is Hang 10, episode 1. I love that each child remembers their parents meeting in their own way.

  135. My favorite Hang 10 video is episode 4 because I loved hearing about the family business. It was fun hearing the children’s perspectives!

  137. My favorite episode is #5 because I found it motivating! Love the emphasis on staying fit to feel healthy & well. Going to jump on the elliptical now! 🙂

  140. My favorite hang 10 video is #5 because the children are being taught to help and take care of things though chores.

  142. My favorite is number 1. I loved listening to each child’s interpretation of mom and dad meeting. Very sweet and very entertaining.

  162. My favorite Hang 10 video is Episode 4. You have a loving family. We learned a valuable lesson from you guys that family is not an important thing, it’s everything ! Love the way how you guys working as a family. Awesome !

  163. My favorite Hang 10 video is Episode 2 because I originally grew up north of New York City, and it was fun to see your family’s reactions to the sights and activities. I also enjoyed the Huckabee interview.

  164. I follow GMS on Youtube and My favorite Hang 10 video Episode is 1 because that’s were all this started! What a great family you are.

Just think, if you would have followed the rules, you may have never met and had such an awesome family! Thank you for being a positive role model family in the world we live in today and instilling values into your family. It’s such a blessing!
