This one is a christmas 2021 special where I share Christmas morning and then the day after! haha We hosted some more people but kept it very very low key and I made some holiday staples. Cook with me; souther style green beans. oh my yes. also made some jammin dairy free mashed potatoes. yes. and then some ham and some easy appetizers! I also cleaned the kitchen up and oh my GOOOOSH our fridge is broken. NOOO.
I totally forgot I also shared a costco grocery haul. probably the smallest haul I've ever gotten from Costco but there it is. I really just went there for the sweet potato crackers and wouldn't you know it we ate almost all of them. And whatever we left in the box I accidentally left outside on the porch and a racoon got into them!!! GROSSSS I need to buy whatever urine it takes to keep the racoons away. lol Going to Amazon now. Thanks so much for hanging out through all of the chaos!
Best,
Kim!

Sweet Kim, I know you know this but since your sister's passing, you have not had a break. You moved house, you did a million birthday parties, you did Christmas, Kim you did everything. I would have folded my tent and disappeared. So hope you do get a good rest. Yours in awe, Erika xxx
♥️ it has been a lot, you’re right. And I’ve most certainly had hard days. The milestones and holidays are tough. Merediths birthday party was the first “get together” that she would have been at so when that was over I broke down. ♥️ losing a loved one is so hard. Thank you for the love
@@thewadsquad hugs!
@@thewadsquad 💗💗 My favourite saying is 'Grief is love with nowhere to go'. Give yourself some grace Kim, you have had so many huge life changing events on top of your birthday season and Christmas. It's no surprise that your mind won't shut down. I use a sleep headband, I'm a decades long insomniac and I swear by it, have a google and see if it's something you'd use.
@@thewadsquad I know what you mean Kim. Sending you love. It is so hard.
I lost my sister July 11, 2016. I will miss her for the rest of my days. Emotion sneaks up on me when I least expect it sometimes. So many things remind me of her. Memories of her run through my mind, my heart really. She was such a big part of my family and living without her hasn’t been easy. I remind myself there is no time limit of grief.
It will be 10 years in March since my dad’s passing with aml leukemia and I miss him everyday as well.
The holidays, birthdays, anniversaries are rough. I just want more time with Dad & Barb.
It doesn’t make any sense why those we love so dearly are taken so soon. I know we aren’t supposed to question and wonder why. I don’t understand why such good/loving people are taken from us, why some aren’t given the second chances that others are given and able to keep on. Life is precious.
Sending you love and support.
@@thewadsquad lost my brother the week of Christmas this year it's definitely tough and I broke down. It comes and goes for sure.
"I'm trying to be as productive as I can with my time."
Oh yeah, me too. (As I sit on my couch in my pajamas on a Thursday at 3:30 PM, watching a 3rd video of yours in a row.) *whistles and bites another chocolate chip cookie*
Sometimes productivity looks like 'me time' Glad you spent that time with me! Thanks for hanging out!!
How Eleanor showing her apron is just like you, Kim, strutting in your kitchen ☺️
She is my clone to a T!
I thought the same thing!!! Mini-Kim!
Shes you. Done.
Oh, Kim! You touched my heart! You do so much for so many and make it all look so easy! You never complain, you never say “no” or “can’t be done” or “sorry, I don’t have time” - you just smile and say “sure, why not?”!! And that’s just your NORMAL stuff. This year you’ve had so many extra stressors and it’s just all caught up with you for a minute.
Sweet girl, surely you know that everyone loves you and thinks you’re the most special person! I can promise you that your mother doesn’t care about her presents being a little late. And that nobody minds if things aren’t perfect. They don’t even notice because they don’t have your expectations that you put on yourself. The vision in your mind that you had about how something would be is just that - in YOUR mind. Everyone else sees the most perfect dinner, decorations, party, or whatever and is full of admiration.
Take a minute, sit down, and do a mental run through of all you’ve done since you moved. Try to look at it objectively, as if you’re watching someone else. I think you’ll find you’re pretty impressed. Because you’re a pretty impressive person! You joke about “the woman across the room” and so many tell you that YOU are their “woman across the room,” but I get the sense that you don’t believe them. My wish for you is that when you look at yourself as objectively as you can, you’ll discover that you’re your own WATR!
Happy New Year, Kim! 🎊🥂🎊
Well said!! And yes, she’s definitely my “Women across the room! ” I sure cannot do all the things she does especially with 4 kids. Lol.
Kim, you are truly an amazing mom/wife!!❤️
I love finishing up whole bottles/packages of things too! If I'm having a day where I don't feel very productive, it gives me great satisfaction to finish up odds and ends of open packages in the kitchen. Hahaha "There's only 6 cookies left in here? Better eat those up! 1/4 of the bag of chips? Can't be. Only a little salami left....better make a sammich." 🤣🤣 "Boom. I kicked butt today!"
Oh my gosh I’m laughing. That’s hilarious and also… same. 🎉👏🏻😂
This might be my favorite comment ever 😂
There is a seal on the left side of the left door. Its the long piece that goes flat when you close the door. Always close the left side first, then the right so the seal will engage. I have a seal like that also, and when my fridge was delivered , they told me to do this. Thanks for being real!
Hi Kim, I am from Puerto Rico and we celebrate "Three Kings Day" on Jan 6.... so you can add that to your list of celebrations too!!! It a good reason to keep your decor up. Happy New Year's to your beautiful family!!!!
Same here. Tree says up until Jan 7th💕💕💕💕
Ah yes, I hope they show up to my house with some gold...
Same as me and my family. We are from Puerto Rico living in Orlando, FL and celebrates the 3 Kings Days...and even more 7 days more we called them "Octavitas"...
Polish heritage... Epiphany (the day the three Kings or wise men found Jesus) is on 6 Jan and the day Christmas decor goes away here. But I've heard of people who keep them up until the 2nd of February which is Candlemas. So if you truly wanted to... Lol.
My Puerto Rican family and I keep our decorations up until at least the week after New Years 👍🎄
For the fridge, unplug it and see if it will reset. We just went through a fridge fiasco and unplugging it helped.
Check to see if the back grate is free of dust.
We also now keep fridge thermometers that show the current temp, high and low. Great way to see how the fridge and freezer are doing.
Ah yes, the 'ol turn it off and turn it back on again.... lol
Same thing happened to me, my fridge quit working and my son was like, lets just unplug it for a minute, I thought to myself, just humor the boy, but it actually worked!
I feel like I would do separate baskets in the laundry room for each person. So 1 for you and Alex, 1 for each of the kids. Then you can do it all and sort as you take out of the dryer. Fold a basket at a time and it goes right to the room. Plus when the kids can help they can take charge of theirs.
I was going to say the same thing 👍 plus one for towels etc. Then a laundry "routine" could be one basket a day
As someone who also makes things dairy free, I would say that the mashed potatoes don't taste as good because you're using oat milk that has sugar in it. Unless slightly sweet mashed potatoes are your thing. I typically use unsweetened almond milk, but I know that's a no go for you. There is unsweetened flax milk and also unsweetened Ripple (made from peas). Your kids probably wouldn't enjoy drinking it, but you can use it just for cooking. I've made the mistake of using plant milk that has sugar in it before and it really makes mashed potatoes and mac and cheeze taste funky lol.
A few years ago we bought our dream house! I walked in and instantly knew this was my home!!! Needless to say, it had been well lived in!! Well, we have spent a small fortune fixing/ replacing items. I had to learn to embrace it (at first, I wanted to throw in the towel), and 5 years later, we are finally coming out on the other side of hemorrhaging money into our forever home.
Reminds me of the money pit! lol Glad five years later you're finally seeing the end of the rainbow!! Glad you love your home!!
Hi, I’m so happy you found your forever home but I like the intimacy you your old kitchen 🥰
I've said it before, but I don't know how you do everything you do. I get tired just watching you do so much!
Don't push yourself too hard. ❤❤❤
Hello Kim, I live in the Netherlands, Europe, Northern Europe, and we have on the 6th of januari Three Kings Day. Mostley the people take a day later, then the cristmas tree away.
But it is winter, early dark on 4.30 pm and I think then I wanted still the extra lights in the house. Somewere this month I take it away but do not know on witch day. Your new House is very beautiful. And very great. A very beautiful kitchen and a very great backyard.....
But your kitchen, wow. You make very nice things, that with the beans, I think it's very delicious.....!!! 😋 It's always nice to see you do things. You are a very positive person. And a energy you have....!!! Thank you for your vlogs.....!!! It's alway's nice to see you.... Have a good and healthy 2022. Greetings, Marith.
Kim!!! You could save so much space in your fridge if you stored your onions in your pantry! Onions do not need to be refrigerated. The same goes for potatoes. 🥰❤🥔🧅
@@infjandcoping4614 Possibly, but they have air conditioning which keeps their home much cooler than mine. It was just a suggestion as her fridge was overflowing. Milk and cream cheese need refrigeration over onions to save space. ❤
I always enjoy hearing “Put a little Happy in your day”, I wake blessed and fall asleep the same so every in between is happy!!
Kim, you were making me nervous when waving that knife around and talking while cutting the potatoes. 😅🤣
Morning. ❤️🎄❤️ Meredith 😀
We keep up decorations through the epiphany. So basically we don't take them down until the weekend after January 6th.
I like that tradition!
We keep our decorations up until January 6th also.
We had that happen to our fridge to and we ended up having to replace the plug it kept making our breaker go out but we replaced the plug and it ended up fixing the problem and saved us from having to get a new fridge. Might be worth a try before getting a new one! Hope it helps if u try it!
Saw in the comments that you were able to get the fridge fixed! My youngest at 2 years old did the same thing, he woke up early Christmas morning and opened all the presents! Our dog kept coming into the room, I guess trying to snitch, but I told him to go lay down and he went right back out to the living room. My son moved all the presents in front of the doors to the bedrooms, what a surprise all the other kids had and a mess of paper! But a memory we will have forever
My tip on laundry….do each family member separately (I don’t separate by color). Your older girls are old enough to bring their own laundry to the laundry room when it’s full or they need clothes. When there laundry is clean and dry, give it back to them to put away. By separating by family member, it’s easier to put away.
Kim don't be so hard on yourself! $hit happened .... Loved what the baby did 😂💝😂💝 the foods that you make always look so dang good! Love from WV
Oooh yes. That’s a great motto straight from dorrest Gump. Something happens every day here where I’m just like-- really.
My mom used to make that style of green beans, and yes she would add some tomatoes. I remember from all those years ago..hahaha
The green beans are really good with little red potatoes in them, yum.
There are NO “fails”….Just “not yets” in mom life !! You did amazing!!! What wonderful memories your kiddies will have!!! Love ❤️ is everything. You know that girl, that’s why you spread happy!!!
See you soon!
Merry Christmas Wadsworth family!! Now that Chaos Season is coming to a close for you guys, I hope you’re all able to slow down and relax a bit. You deserve it!
Hope this helps: Keep your potatoes in larger chunks and less crowded ( bigger pan) , that’s why they take longer, no space for water to boil around them. Another reason might be the type of potato used. God bless you and your family!
Don’t worry when things go wrong, it’s bound to happen now and again, last night we had very heavy rain, it leaked into a couple of places in the house and I have been going round sorting it all out but now have to find solutions before next rain fall. Just go with the flow and get it done.
I really love watching you you seem to have boundless energy. Don't change. From a 60yearold from white plains, NY
Kim, for what it's worth an honest fridge repair person told us that ALL bottom freezer fridges eventually experience the same issue you have due to the fact that they require "defrost service" to function properly at least 3 times a year. Our last LG fridge ended up needing 4! It's a flaw in the design that drove us to go with 1 freezerless fridge and 1 separate freezer. Problem solved! It pays for itself within the year. Something to think about. Many repair people do this 😉
Very true, I have a separate trunk type freezer now. It’s far better.
Oh Kim, your reaction when you melted the mixer is everything. Always with that realness. You had me laughing over here. I am glad you were able to get it off of your stove. You will remember that every time you look at that mixer.
Would love to see a food prep with your Dad. You need a holiday from the holidays. Take time for yourself. You are the glue that hold your family together. The engine that makes it run. The heart that makes it a home. Take care and best wishes to your family as you navigate this crazy world into 2022.🇨🇦♥️
For your fridge, put a thermometer in it in the back. Make sure all your vents aren't covered...if they have things against them it will keep it from cooling. And keep the doors closed for several hours. Just opening it often will warm it up a ton.
Thanks so much! We had a repair man come and he fixed it right up!! Some kind of fan was dead.
@@thewadsquad awesome. Much better than a new purchase. I feel like in the first 3 years I replaced everything in my house I got in Orlando...except the fridge. The joys of home ownership.
We can have nice things when all the kids move out in 20 years, lol. Thanks for sharing a great one😊
I had the same laundry probably. I bought my kids (age 6 & 10) a laundry basket the size for about one load. I told them, when this full, YOU are responsible for washing, drying, folding & hanging this load. Since it's only one load, it is manageable for them. My 10 yr has it down, 6 yr still needs reminders, but that's due to personalities. This has help my laundry life tremendously.
Maybe try getting a Garage refrigerator. I had the same issue. I bought a simple refrigerator. $600(cheapestin California). It's made such a huge difference. It was too compacted. Try that. Everything will be OK Kim. 👍🏼 you got this!
Praying for you, Kim. I have had some sleepless nights here myself. My mind just wanders and doesn't shut off. You've done and been through a lot the last few months. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! You are loved!
Merry Christmas! When I was a kid growing up, our family did the same as yours. My Dad handed out the gifts and we all just tore into them. When my husband and I got married, his family opens one gift at a time. I guess it's nice because it lasts longer and you get to see the expression on the persons face when they open your gift. Looks like the kids loved all their gifts!!! :)
Growing up, my family made piles and tore into gifts. Husband's family did one gift at a time. I like the slow process especially with teenagers.
YES!! I always tell alex, slow down!! wait, what did you get... OH YES did you like that?! haha... I'm much like your husbands family! But Alex enjoys the chaos!!
Whew! You made it beautifully through birthday season and “the Holiday season”🎶🎶. I pray January is a calmer time for you. I so appreciate the slice of life you share with us. Happy New Year🎉
One more birthday to go, and then we can rest!! haha ... and by rest I mean finally settle into this place!! ... and then it'll be easter! haha
Thanks for the Christmas bag tutorial. It came in very handy to wrap my grandson’s bedroom slippers for Christmas. I loved it and it matched his other wrap.
Meridians Christmas morning escapade reminds me of my daughter when she was little! So funny! She never opened the presents but she crawled out of her crib and was eating Santa's cookies and milk at about 3:00am! She is now 37 years old. You brought back that memory for me. Love watching you!
I'm sorry Meridith my spell check is haunted!
Kim, clean the refrigerator seals around the door with alcohol and vacuum the bottom filter at the base of the refrigerator. I'm thinking you need to pull out the refrigerator and vacuum the back of the appliance. Put a temperature gage in the refrigerator.
I have the same or a similar fridge as y’all, except the drawer at the bottom (where you keep lunch meat and pepperoni) is my Diet Coke drawer. Yes, it’s a terrible addiction but I can think of worse!
Would have loved to watch Meredith tearing open all the presents! I can only imagine the joy that would’ve been on her sweet little face!
You're right about that! There are worse things to be addicted to. I'm addicted to sugar! We all have something!! lol We have a camera in our living room but she's so little she walked right under the view so we don't have video of it!!! I WISH we did too!! haha
Hello Kim, cashew nuts grow below a fruit. The fruit is called sugar-apple and is very yummy. They grow very low on the tree you can pluck and eat the fruit, but the cashew-nuts need processing before you can eat them
In Eastern Europe most families keep decorations up till mid January at least - last winter holiday we have is on Jan 13-14 and it's called "old new year" :)
Oh no, what a bummer when fridge breaks. But so fun to see your day with your fam.
First time i watch your channel,so refreshing to see your genuineness and no airs and graces,i feel i can relate.Greetings from Cape Town,South Africa.xx
Give yourself Grace. You have a circle of loving friends and family (and your UA-cam family) who are pulling for you. The dust will settle and you will get to catch your breath! Happy New Year!
You are my hero. I don’t know how you do all that you. You are a wonderful mother and homemaker. You make your home such a fun place to live. Your children are so blessed to have you.
I couldn't wait to get home from the hospital (Covid) and watch your family (my youtube family) open presents.
You're an amazing Mom! Your whole family is awesome, & it's honestly bc of all that you do to make sure life runs smoothly. You're the frosting that holds the cake together:)
Hang in there Kim, as so many have said you’ve been through a lot this year and done so much. May you find peace and joy and all the good things in the new year. 🧡🙏🏻
You just cheer me up!! Have the happiest and healthy New Year!!!
Now that you have so much space in your laundry room you should do the thing where each kid has their own basket or hamper in there so when you get the clothes out of the dryer you just throw that kids' clothes in their hamper so they can easily take them back to their room and put them up.
The condensers are not open in back of refrigerators with coils anymore they are closed off so you can put them flush against the walls and cabinets and they are too large to pull out to clean…so they don’t last but 6 to 10 years…but a delivery guy told me when we bought our new one (that replaced our open coil back one) said to vacuum under the frig often (monthly) because your condenser gets blocked with dust and pet hairs killing your frig. quicker!! So take that black vent looking cover off at bottom front and look under there with a flash light and see if it’s clear of dust and all…it could be that it was never cleaned and choked it being able to breath…Just a thought!! Thanks for all the happiness you brought this year and may you have a great and healthy Happy New Year for 2022!!! 🇺🇸🇵🇷💕👍🎉💥🎆🎇
Dear happy family! Wish you can send prayers my way. My boy and I are with Covid at home, and hubby is in the ICU fighting covid too. Thanks in advance everyone
I don't remember the time I laughed so hard as your melted mixer & your stove, thinking it was possibly ruined. You freaking out only for a min. or so then going on like it's perfectly normal! It's so real life exactly what would or does happen to me, when you are trying to do something for a holiday or any day really. And you just rolled with it! Lol.. It's really real! No since in hiding reality like so many ppl. do!
Happy New Year! Love your unedited life! ❤
Our fridge recently did the same thing. We pulled the vent off the bottom, under the freezer door, everything underneath was covered in dust. We vacuumed it all out, carefully. Then unplugged the fridge to reset it, plugged it back in, it works fine.
Worth a try.....
Hi Kim! 🇸🇪 In Sweden we traditionally have the christmas decorations up until 20 days after Christmas eve. "Tjugondagknut dansas julen ut" basically translates into "on the twentieth day of Christmas we dance it away"... 😅🎀
Kids! When they are quiet you just know they are up to no good. Thankyou for sharing the not so magical side of Mum life that we can all relate to. Here's to 2022 another year over and a new one just began, almost. ❤
I can’t believe the new year is right around the corner. 💀 how can it be!
Apparently I got up and opened all the presents when I was very young. I don't remember it....but my mom still does! LOL. That's me - just running thru life making memories 🤣🤣
Perfect to watch while on my last day of work before vacation. Holiday mood 😊
Ooooh so fun!! Hope you enjoy your holiday!!
I'm a New Englander! I share your excitement of having Tom (our loss), he gave me sooo many years of "Happy Game Days"!~ Happy Holidays and thank you for sharing your hectic life with all of us!!
It’s a joy to see him play- even when half of our team is injured!!
Hugs to you, Kim. The stress of running a household, coupled with the holidays, is very real! Please don't be so hard on yourself! We love you 💕 - Tammy
Whenever we have a problem in our family, we have a motto we say to gets us through. "Everything will be fine and we always make it through." ❤
Looks like those are russet potatoes you are using and they are great for making baked potatoes. I hVe found yellow ones are better for mashing. Love your videos and you have a beautiful family.
I leave my trees/decorations up until middle to end of January! It’s so much work to put everything up, and I love the lights. So I just enjoy a bit longer! Neighbors probably think I’m nuts, but who cares??!!!
Rinse your potatoes after cutting them up so the starch is down and when adding water, that also drops the temperature and takes longer.. I turn on the kettle for additional water.
Look forward to your positive videos.. Been more productive myself thanks to you. Mom life is a full time job but we get it done.
OMG I'm the same way! When I use up any sort of product I literally do a happy dance! It makes me so happy! I've been trying to buy less stuff and use what I have here first. Best feelings? Using up notebooks, lotions, pens, and body sprays! 😘👌 I don't think I ever used up an entire pen in my life! Now I'm slowly making my way through my ridiculously large pen stash!! (although my heart still breaks a little when I have to pass up a new pack of pretty pens😭🤣)
Omg I am so happy to know that a "Youtouber" has a normal crazy Christmas morning like we do! Lol I asked my husband "Do you think anyone else's house looks as crazy as ours on Christmas morning?" Well The Wads made me feel normal! Lol Merry Christmas Wads! And P.S. I love Meredith's new Christmas morning tradition lol
Hahaha. It’s so true. There are often times I won’t even record cause my kitchen not my house just my kitchen isn’t UA-cam perfect. But then I think we’ll no one is perfect but the man upstairs, so why should I be so concerned? Anyway. It’s so true to feel others have the REAL life as we all do.
Im with you Nancy Do! Is it wrong of me that I was delighted that they didn’t have matching pjs! So sick of seeing “perfectly staged” Christmas opening scenes. Love the real people!
@@iwilson6221 Amen! Nothing perfect here!! Glad you guys embrace the realness!
You are the women across the room for so many of us. It is never enough and it is good enough…. Somewhere in the middle we all hope to land. I know this has been said but literally no break at all since your sweet sister passed. You have shown us nothing but grace and gumption since then. Take a rest, breathe and look around you at all you have done and created. Try and enjoy some of the hard work you have done as of late. We love you out here and are so thankful for the happiness you put in our day!!❤️
Oh my gosh! This brought back such wonderful memories of when my son was young! Christmas morning is the BEST when you have little ones! Their faces are so full of wonder & joy and make those Christmases the best of our lives!💞
Heeey Kim! Merry Christmas! This was, for me, one of the best Christmas' I've had in a long time. It was just me and my daughter, my grandson and his dad. I cooked for us and we just chilled. And guess what my daughter got me???? A "Put A Little Happy In Your Day" sweatshirt!!! Yeeeaaas! 💃💃💃😁
Hey! Put some dry ice in fridge until repaired. May keep cool enough
The struggle of loving to go through stuff and also don't want to spend money to buy new stuff 🤣
Much love from Germany🌼
You must be exhausted from all the company that you have had. Hope you get a little down time to relax and just sit and look at the beautiful lake. ❤️
Meredith is bold and courageous. One day she will be a titan of industry or President.
Kim I appreciate that you let the Christmas season linger just a little bit longer. Lot's of You tubers have already moved on. Thanks for always sharing!!
Hey Kim! I have a friendly thought. Your fridge might not be cooling right because it's so tightly packed. Now this is coming from a non "fridge-a-dear" expert. LOL! Love ya!
Well good tip but it’s been like that for a couple of weeks. It’s been packed and not so full- still doesn’t work. We called a repairman to come out ♥️ fingers crossed
@@thewadsquad Kim I hope its an easy and cheap fix cause fridge-a-dears are expensive!!! Merry Belated Christmas and wishing you and your beautiful family a very happy and safe New Year!!!!! 🥰
❤️👍💜👋💙wishes to your family for a happy, healthy year in 2022. Thank you for sharing your days and your ups and downs! You are an inspiration!! Last Christmas I melted one of my crockpots by setting it on a hot burner! Makes for great memories😆
Hope it's an easy fix. A few years ago we moved into a new house and had a similar situation with fridge not cooling. It was a smart fridge?? Anyway, I called the customer service number and they reset it remotely since it was a smart fridge?? Anyway if that hadn't work I read online to reset the fridge by open and closing the freezer drawer three times. And then not to open it for a few hours. It worked after resetting it. I think ours was an LG. Anyway, hope your fridge starts working soon.
I was wondering the same thing
I'm really hoping your fridge has a quick fix! You are so sweet and you always leave me in awe for all the effort you put into making your family happy. I dont have kids and I'm exhausted just watching you 😆 You are truly Wonderwoman! Also I know its not the prettiest thing to have on your countertop but maybe get a dishrack to put the clean dishes on instead of leaving them to dry in the sink and have people mistake them for dirty one?
It takes me about three days to get everything packed up and stored so I don't even start until Epiphany. Enjoy the decorations as long as you like. Have a Happy New Year!!
It's so fun watching you enjoying prepping cooking and serving many meals!
You have a right to be tired. You have been overdoing it in so many ways. You are superwoman. Taking care of everything and everyone.
Just try to do one thing at a time!! 💀 one more birthday party left!!
As a child I was terrified to touch anything on Christmas morning until my dad said it was time to. When my kids were younger I chose to be more lenient with them, if they opened gifts they at least had to be their own gifts. I swore as a teenager not to have my kids scared of me, I hated being afraid of my parents, they called it respect. My kids are my life and I will NEVER allow them to be afraid of me, I want them to be able to come to me regardless of what the topic is, because I know how it is to not be able to go to anyone about anything. My kids are now adults and they tell me all the time how great and understanding I always was. I know I made mistakes but everyone does because children do not come with a manual. Some people would argue with that but I didn't see one come out with them LOL.
We usually put our decorations up on December 1st or so, and take them down for either March or Valentines day.
Did that fall off my face 🤣🤣🤣😂😂😂omg you are hysterical ‼️‼️‼️‼️
For the potatoes, in my country we have different types of potatoes, some are used for eating just boiled, some are better for fries and some are best for eating mashed and it is based on their starch content, so you may just bought different type this time 🤷🏼♀️ And when you put the ones with more starch inside a pressure cooker they can be yucky. 😁
And don't worry, we have our tree (it's a 'live' one) untill about Valentines, because we do put it up on the 23rd and love the smell 😅 so it became a tradition in my house 🎄🤷🏼♀️😏
Hi Kim. I learned on a cruise trip a few years ago that the cashew grows out of a fruit. I think we were in Jamaica at the time. The bus driver was telling us they use the fruit to make a very strong adult beverage! Also, the cashew has to be processed before eating because you can't eat them raw from the tree.
Enjoyed your vlog and thought the wind chimes were a sweet way to remember your sister, Kim. ♡
I have found if you can avoid it don’t cut the potatoes unless they are huge. If you cut them just in half. Be sure you’re using the largest burner and medium high heat. I use a potato ricer and they are 🤌
Baskets is a laundry solution I am going to try. You can’t do dressers but those square shelves. I have had issues with cooking too ; gentle hugs.
You know it's going to be a great day when the first video in your fed is Kim. I truly love watching you and your realness.

Cleaning the fridge is definitely 9n my todo list today. A whole kitchen clean down after holidays is definitely on the list!. Thanks for all the motivation!.
Hey Kim! I almost died when you melted your hand mixer! I did the same thing with my brand new crockpot! Set it on the stove and it melted the whole front! I was so pi$$ed! 🌺 Jen
Hello... I'm still loving your Christmas tree. So Beautiful.. Valentines day is fine to take your decorations down. It happened one year to me.. 😀.
Happy New Year from Manchester, England 🌹🌹🌹
Your refrigerator clean up was so encouraging. Perfection is NOT. TFS.
Glad you appreciate the realness!!
Loved this video.
We have the same fridge and it can't keep the temperature regulated. It goes between 30 to 55° all the time. Some days it's perfect other days it's barely cold or stuff is frozen. We just got it less than a year ago. Our ice maker and water stopped working. The freezer is finally working normal but at one point it all thawed out or was so frozen I couldn't get the door open. It makes me mad because our previous fridge/freezer was 20 years old. It still worked fine but I needed more room and the drawers were broken. Get a fridge/freezer thermometer to keep an eye on it.
That sounds like a nightmare!!! Call out a repairman!! Maybe they’ll replace it since it’s still so new!!!
I used to have a smart fridge. When we bought it, we had put the old one (12yrs old at that point) in the garage until we had a chance to have it hauled away, but we never got to it.
Less than a year later we were swapping the fridges around and that old fridge has given us 8+yrs of beautiful service since!
We got a refund on the smart fridge, as the repair people couldn't figure out what was wrong with it.
I do the $15 coffee pots, too, got a 30yr old one sitting on my counter that still works like a dream!
Would highly recommend getting a thermometer to put inside your fridge so you can monitor the temp easily! Sometimes I think my fridge isn’t cold enough and I look and it’s at the right temp. Might be an option!
