Whoever shamed you for giving your kids some processed foods is absolutely horrible. They watched your video and saw you had a busy life and still decided to be snarky. It's hard enough being a mom.
I was thinking the exact same thing! You almost wanna lecture THEM on manners. Nothing nice don’t say it! Guess YOUR MOM missed that while stuffing your face with quinoa!
Usually the ones shaming are the ones who really should be ashamed and probably give their kids McDonald's all the time. Kim feeds her kids healthy. A combination of both doesn't hurt. She gets a lot of healthy snacks as well.
Thanks for all the love people!! And always having my back! It was a comment made gave to face in real life and It just stung me -. I usually just brush the comments off and tell myself I’ve got a pretty good balance, so there’s that! I could do better / worse lol Also the dude doesn’t have kids sooo perspective is not there for him 😂 everyone has a different set of circumstances and they judge based off their own life experience 👏🏻
@@thewadsquad Kim if he doesn't have kids then he definitely doesn't know what the devil he's talking about. It's like when I was in labor and an older nurse kept telling me to walk up and down the hall where the labor rooms were at. I was doubled over in pain. She said your not dilated enough. I said have you ever had a baby? She said no. I said then how in the he** would you know. Dr checked me and I was half way through and was needing a C section. A lot of people run their mouths on things they are really illiterate on. Please don't let it bother you. You are enough. 💖💖💖💖
I just want to say, I'm a dietitian and love your videos. I see nothing wrong with your dietary habits or behaviors. You have a healthy and balanced approach that you're setting an example for your kids. The moms telling you the "processed" foods you're purchasing are actually dangerous and triggering phases that lead to disordered eating. Kim keep doing you. You're doing an excellent job!
Must I say….. you are DEFINITELY the woman across the room. Awesome mom! Great cook! Thoughtful host! Queen of multi-tasking! The list goes on & on. It’s always a good day when we get to spend time with the Wad Squad. 💜 Happy Mother’s Day 🌸🌻💐
Now that my two oldest are looking at colleges, I look back and am thankful for my messy house when they were little. A messy house meant we were busy doing more important things together. My husband used to not understand how I could head to the park with a sink full of dirty dishes, but now I look around at my tidy house and am thankful for that time. It's all beautiful and it's all important ❤
@happymama1015 OH, I did, too! But, let me assure you that it is just a different kind of fun. This stage (older teens) is hysterical, scary, and amazingly wonderful. They get all my jokes, we have intelligent and well thought out conversations, and I get to watch them interact with their friends and the community on their terms. Their passions start to shine through, and I can see who they are instead of wondering who they will become. Do not worry or have fear. You got this. It becomes different, but if you are involved and loving, it just becomes a better kind of different ❤️ Sending ALL the love your way!
Thank you for that perspective! Sometimes it is hard for me to go do things with my kids. Because the mess is overwhelming me. But I need to prioritize making memories with them.❤
Ya know what I love about watching you? That you always give yourself grace. You say oh well. You say I’m trying my best. You acknowledge that there is a time and place for different things in different seasons of life. You remind me to give myself grace and I really appreciate that!
I am 65 yrs old and I enjoy your channel very much and with everything I see ... I can't imagine ever doing more or better than you ! Omgosh... breast feeding your 5th baby while cleaning ! You are a Supermom ! I have known a lot of really good moms but never have I seen anyone with your energy and upbeat tenacity ! You've got this !
Kim I grew up on processed food, our generation all did. It’s hard to change that over night. You’re a great mom and inspire me daily. You’re a great person!
That’s a great perspective! You’re right I literally grew up eating handfuls of sugar. Just sugar. Nothing else. 😂 😂 “sprinkle” of sugar on everything- on strawberries, on cereal… grapefruit!! Everything!!! Lol I turned out just fine 😜
@@thewadsquad you turned out more than alright. I’m not kidding I really approach at least one thing a day where I wonder how you’d handle it. I feel you are such a sweet mom to your kids and I wanna be that to my 5 kids. Please always give yourself grace. You inspire more people than you probably could imagine.
@TheWads Ma'am Mrs. Kim You are an amazing mother and in two days is Mother's Day! Happy Mother's Day! Your beautiful babies, know they are loved. They are cared for. By Mom and Dad. They are blessed beyond measure. They have a momma who would do ANYTHING to keep em safe. I was once told. The mothers who worry if they are 'good enough' often times are the best. Because it shows you care. Side note I would have done anything. To have a mother who really loved me. And didn't think of me as a burden. So your family is truly blessed. Thank you for being my best friend. I appreciate you

I am amazed at how much you do, as I was at how much my mum did for us and i look back in awe now. So please give yourself grace....... you deserve it. Also, shout out to Avalina she did awesome in her IXL debut. Wolfgang how is he already motoring around like that its just so dang cute. Merideth how big her eyes were telling you the playdough had dried out so she put it in the bin... she is a really sweetheart.
Avalina Said so much about IXL I could have let her do the whole sponsorship 😂 she said next year she’ll be 13 so she wants a UA-cam channel I’m like oh gosh…. 💀💀 she’s so funny!
You may not be the mom that you want to be in this season of your life, but girl, you are 1000% the mom that I want to be! You do so gracefully with 5 what I struggle to do with 3! You're truly an inspiration to so many of us. Your kids will always be so thankful that YOU are their mom!
kim, you are THE woman across the room for me!!! I only have one child, and I feel like I never get anything done! you are doing AMAZINGGGGG. your kids and this youtube community appreciate you and we love you! keep being awesome! ❤
Kim we’ve all been there, doubting if we are doing enough for our kids but they will remember how devoted you are to caring for them and that you provided a loving environment for them to thrive in, not the dust bunnies, dirty dishes or backed up laundry. You ARE the woman across the room for alot of us and you’re doing great! ❤
I have been watching this video today. You are a wonderful mom. Stop worrying about others opinions. You work so hard for your family that I am tired watching. It does help me get busy and do housework. Just be you. I have been watching since you found out you were pregnant with Wolfgang. You are a super woman. I can't wait to see the addition done. You too I know. It will be fabulous. Oh no, more rooms to clean, so what. It us your and your families life. Be happy you are awsome. I am a 68 year old great grandma. I have been down the road a few times. Sincerely, Martha
There is a poem I read many years ago…my kids are 41 and 43 and it is as relevant today as 40+ years ago…..”cleaning and scrubbing can wait till tomorrow……for babies grow up we’ve learned to our sorrow…..so quiet down cobwebs…..dust go to sleep……I’m rocking my baby and babies don’t keep! You are doing a phenomenal job. You do you which is MORE than …to quote you…”good enough”
I feel like you always have a great balance in all you do! If someone shames you for the way, you do some thing it just a reflective that there’s something wrong with them. They do that to feel better about themselves. Your kids are very happy, healthy ,funny , smart and well-adjusted. Which is a result of great parenting!! Hugs Kim💕
I am a "non-parent" who is in awe of ALL that you do! Your children are fed, clothed, goven incredible opportunities for memory-making, they are kind, compassionate children who are comforted, loved ..... cherished! And I believe they know it ... FEEL it .... and what else could you ask for?!? Kim, please give yourself the grace you wholeheartedly deserve! IMHO, you are doing a FANTASTIC job as a mom, friend, wife .... person! Thank you for ALWAYS putting a little "happy in my day"! Much love & admiration from this "non-parent" over here in Central Texas! ❤❤❤
Good morning, Thank you for putting a LOT of happy in my day!!! LOL, that was Wolfgang crawling around!!! 😊 Have a great weekend, Love ya, Laura and Ava💕
Good morning Kim. Wolfgang crawling around is so cute. He is adorable. I think you are a great mom and I am so happy to hear you put time with family over cleaning all the time. I say KUDOS for that. Have a blessed day!
You both are doing your best. Your sweet children will look back on their childhood and say Mom and Dad sure did make Everything fun for us. Please be kind with yourself you are at a point in your life where good enough is where it's at. As your little one's grow you will be in a different spot and on and on. I love watching you and your beautiful family and you are a Mother Many wished they had. So much love lives in your Home and Everyone can see it❤🥰
Shame on the people who judge you on how your home looks or how you do your job. Your a mom of 5 and get soooo much done and your doing your best. That is what counts and everyone is happy and also being taken care of❤
Kim, give yourself some credit, you have 5 children plus friends, and you deal with it all, you are fantastic, a great Mom and Wife, you do what we all do and you have beautiful children , chill out. I love your videos, they make me happy. I do remember those days. Love ya girl. A Very Happy Mothers Day you deserve the best.
Your doing a great job at being a mom Kim, so definitely give yourself grace 😊 Your kids are so happy, and when older they will be so thankful they had a mom like you! You are a beautiful person inside and out ❤
You are amazing & please don’t let those creepy inadequacy thoughts in! You constantly inspire me to be a better, more aware wife & momma ( even though mine are adults) I love your organizing, cleaning, cooking, shopping & haul videos so much, but what keeps me coming back is your personality, attitude about life & up lifting funny ways about real life! ❤❤❤
Can i just say i love watching your videos. You help make me feel like we are doing our best and that's its HARD. It's so comforting hearing other people are in the same mental boat you are. Thank you for being unabashedly, you.
Hi there woman across the room for me, you have taught me so much! Thank you! Clean enough, only clean what can be seen sometimes, 10 minute tasks (I had never thought about it that way until you!) and some great recipes. I thought you would be excited about what I did today…..TK max has only recently come to Australia and very recently one opened up near me so I went today and bought my first ever DW candle! I was so very excited! Please continue to do what you do…..you are amazing x
When you said, it won’t be like this forever. You were folding the tiniest pair of little shorts. 😍😍 when I feel heavy In my head I look at the clothing I’m folding and I just smile. What a joy. To fold these little clothing, and when you get to the bigger kids clothing and think just how much they have grown. How much you all have grown. Grace. Give yourself grace and never feel guilty to enjoy the moments and your life. 💙
Yay! New vid!❤ I love reorg vids.❤ Makes me more motivated to clean and organize myself.😂❤ My kids used to do what your daughter did all the time, which I used to find both sweet and adorable, and exasperating....cuz then I'd have to clean that too.😂 Edit: I totally feel your "snowball effect"... So I just go with the flow. I start with locating all the things that go in one room, gathering them, then I see if there's anything in THAT spot that needs to go back to the ORIGINAL spot, and then I look for other things in the original room and repeat the same way until the room I was originally in is complete, and I've also cleared a few things from the OTHER rooms. 😂 It's a hectic system... But it totally works for me.❤
If your upstairs snack storage trial run (say that 10 times fast) doesn't work for you, perhaps a dedicated movie night snack tote in your pantry might? I'm thinking something with a handle, quick and easy to grab when the fam heads upstairs for movie night...
Hi Kim, you do such an amazing job with that many kids - keep up the good work! Quick little GFG tip that works for me…right after you shut it off, still hot/warm, take a saturated wet paper towel or however many you need to cover the surface, close the lid and let it sit until it’s the last thing you need to clean. It wipes clean soooo much easier. 😊
I am so proud and grateful for how much you show up for your littles. I know one day you will look back on this time and be thankful and grateful you loved so much and was so present. Please be kind to yourself. This culture has the habit of blaming ourselves (esp Mothers) for everything not being perfect. This state, I. My humble opinion, does not exist for more than the time it took them to snap a pic or to a clip. You’re such a blessing to so many!! Also I remember watching you with your babies, you’re so sweet and funny. Thank you for being a great Mom!
Thanks so much for being real. Homeschool mom of 3 here✋️and me and my husband run a business. We are very busy people,too. So I can relate. I appreciate your authenticity. It brings joy all the way to South Louisiana 😊. Never stop being you. People are critical but they are not running in our shoes. So beautiful that the care of your kids is a top priority. ❤
Love your vids and I don't know why but I enjoy hanging out while you do your laundry 😊 I literally replay vids while I do my own house work especially dishes lol keep up the good work your amazing 😍
You are such a blessing and inspiration to me. I love your heart for creating meaningful memories and bonds with your children. That is one of my goals in this season of my life as well! hugs to you. There’s no better mama for your kids than you, you are doing a great job. Go Kim! Have a super day!
Kim,you definitely have it right! Time with your kids is far more important than a stellar looking home. Anyone who judges you on a messy home is very likely someone who needs to spend some time on what is REALLY important!
Hi Kim. Great video as always. I hope you have a Wonderful Mother's Day. I think you are doing a great job with the way you are taking care of your family. You need to give yourself a break sometimes like you say and just sit back and enjoy these moments with your children and husband. Life is flying by. Take care.🤗
You are doing so good. I had 5 kids who survived on chicken nuggets. Good enough they are all now grown and perfectly health. You are great. I love watching you.
I just have to say. I've seen many comments from moms regretting being obsessive over keeping a spotless house and not being as involved with their kids. You are a great mom! I love seeing you interact with your kids. Its clear you enjoy them and it's refreshing to see.
Cleaning can wait. This stage and time with your kids and family only comes once. Each day is a new day with them. Time is precious don’t let others tell you your house is a mess at least it is happy. Messes won’t be there for long.
Kim, I think you are incredible! You are seriously my wonderwoman, I am so envious of how much energy you have, though I'm sure you feel like you always need more! I just want to encourage you for this season, to let yourself have those moments, guilt free, enjoying your beautiful life you've created around you! One thing your kids won't remember is the piles of laundry and dishes, the mess or disorganization - they will remember their mama being there for them though! So let yourself relax into being a mother (which is a different thing from a housekeeper) there are thousands of people who think you are amazing, even at 10% energy survival mode. Much love from New Zealand xxx
I never comment but I just need to say you are a wonderful mom. We all experience that guilt because we want to do the absolute best for them. You take care of 5 kids, keep a cleaner home than myself, cook, UA-cam, etc. I have 1 and feel like I can barely keep everything together. Give yourself credit and remember how amazing you are. Your children will look back and remember how much you did for them and loved them, not that they had a messy play room sometimes or ate some processed fruit snacks (the horror 😱). Sending all the love ❤
Around the house happenings/get it all done with me/cleaning what can be seen types of videos are my absolute favorite!! Feels like I’m just hangin out with a friend. Love yall so much!!❤
Kim you're a great mom and do so much for your children so stop downing yourself. When we were kids my mom was great. She would be cooking dinner when we came home from school. The house smelled so good with her cooking. The house cleaned. We did our homework and got ready for the next school day and watched a little TV before bed. She died this past Christmas and all those memories are with me every day. Your kids will have so many great ones. We did have some chores and worked fast at it. That was good times. Love your videos. I'm not the only one mixing up kids. Wentworth crawling around upstairs. 😆
Kim, you are doing 100 times better than I could ever do!! You're a great Mom!! Your kids adore you!! It makes me sad that you're so hard on yourself! You have a wonderful life with a family who loves you! You work your butt off for your family and they realize it. They will carry wonderful memories of all you do for them throughout their lives! They are blessed to have you as their Mama! Hugs!
Kim, you make more healthy food than most people I know, and you have 5 children and some of them have one! You are doing an amazing job. I love how you are real, like when you show the messes, we all have messes. Some people pretend they never have a speck of dust or dirt! Thank you for your videos, I love watching them.
Shame on those ppl who judge you!!! Kim I don't personally kno you girl but I guarantee you 90% of us see what an amazing person/ mom you are inside and out!! And ur house looks damn good for having the entire neighborhood runnin in n out every week lol!!!! Ur truly awesome girl!!!
We have been living in our home for about 3 yrs. This past Jan and Feb I reorganized all the spaces that weren't working. It takes time living in a space to figure out what works, doesn't work or no longer works. You are super mom/friend to us! ❤
First things first! That queso!! It’s delicious! We opened a jar two days ago and it’s half gone already. Second, the GFG, someone showed me a trick years ago for that. As soon as you are done cooking on it. Put a couple layers of paper towels on it and then spray your vinegar/water solution(if you have one that you use for cleaning) or just dump some water on the paper towels so that they are more than damp but not dripping wet. Then close the lid and the food bits and mess stick to the wet paper towels while it’s cooling off. Once it’s cooled or six hours later when you get to cleaning it off(me) everything just wiped off of it. Sometimes stubborn foods or burnt stuff will stick but it’s all still moist so it comes off really easily. Also to the person who commented on what you feed your kids, are they going to come cook for you and pay for your all natural 100% organic groceries?? No?? Then they can hush! I always say, if you don’t share DNA with these children and live in my house, then you don’t get to tell me how to raise my children! Rude!
Don't know if you will see this, but a good way to clean the GFG is to put two very damp paper towels in between while it's still warm. The stuff wipes right out.
I'm so thankful for your videos! You are so relatable! I can so relate to feeling like a failure in the Mom/Wife/Homemaker department. We've run non-stop for 3 weeks. End of school events, Vet school graduation, wedding, just ALL the things, so my house is a disaster from top to bottom right now. One kid finished school today, hallelujah, the other has 2 more weeks. It is what it is for now, and as you said in the video, I will tackle it 5, 10, 20 minutes at a time, whatever I can make happen. Thank you for sharing that your focus is on your kids, I can get into this rat race and forget to slow down and take time to just be WITH my kids!! Best of luck these last few weeks of school!! Excited for summer!
The only person you have to please and explain yourself to is the person in the mirror. Your a awesome mom and cook. Enjoy the time you have to spend with your family. The housework can wait. Take time to breathe. Love you guys
Kim - you are far from a mom failure! You do so much and you have a beautiful, healthy, wonderful family! Don't let anyone else judge you. :) You have been such an encouragement to me lately and I look forward to your videos. Have a wonderful Mother's Day!
I’m a seasoned mother of six, now adult, children and a grandmother. What I wouldn’t give to be the energetic loving mother that you are. I saw the long hug that you stopped doing what you were doing to receive. That says it all. You are a great example of balancing the work of home making and mothering with the joys of life well spent as a family
Good morning Kim! I recently got the same bin clips you have in your pantry. You mentioned wanting printed labels but not wanting to use your cricut. I just measured the paper it comes with (3 1/4 inch x 1 1/2 inch), made rectangles that size in a Word doc, typed the labels, printed and cut. Much easier, in case you are interested. 🙂 Love your videos! ❤️
Kim, you are doing a great job. Give yourself grace, it will get better and easier. My kids are now 15 and 16 year olds, and our house is spotless, but let me tell, I truly miss their early age years when our house was a mess but the kids were little. Enjoy it now, because time flies.
Be cheerful, for this Thursday is a day that the Lord has made. Rejoice and be glad in him, for his blessings endure forever. May his blessings rain on you today!
Girl you are doing great!! Self doubt is a killer. I know because it has been eating at me for years now. My kids are in their 30's now and they are finally (after having kids) saying what a great childhood they had and how great we were as parents. Your kids will do that too. No worries. I did way too much when my kids were little. I had a daycare in our home and still volunteered on every committee, I had two girl scout troops, I was team mom for their sports, never missed a game or meet, and still managed to keep my day care thriving and kids learning. Not sure who that super woman was then but now she is worn out and her body is breaking down. So don't do what I did. Take care of you as well. You're important and worth it. You truly are an amazing momma so never doubt yourself. I don't know how you do it all. Prayers for you!!
Avalinas message for IXL cracked me up!! 😂 also giggled, you were talking about the baby crawling around but called him wentworth. Ps. Your kids will remember so much more about the fun nights playing soccer and watching movies, than if the house was kept perfectly clean.! I’m relatively young (23) and promise I Denver the fun summer nights playing in my backyard on the swing set with my sisters and having a campfire later with my parents than I know if our pantry was organized!❤❤ you’re doing great
It really annoys me when people have something to say about the way you eat or feed your family. Mind your business, you do you. I love your honesty about food and things you buy Thank you!
You are adorable!!! And that scrumptious baby!🥰 So glad I found you as I was scrolling. I’m just an old retired grandma type that loves kids and yours look to be very happy & thriving! You’re doing a great job mom!!

You are an amazing mother and in two days is Mother's Day! Happy Mother's Day!
Your beautiful babies, know they are loved. They are cared for. By Mom and Dad. They are blessed beyond measure. They have a momma who would do ANYTHING to keep em safe.

And didn't think of me as a burden.
So your family is truly blessed.
Thank you for being my best friend. I appreciate you
Kim you do a great job and i think the fact that you stress so much about your kids having good memories completely ensures they will have. Just seeing Wentworth giving you a big hug, those moments become treasures for them when you grow up and look back on them. I am amazed at how much you do, as I was at how much my mum did for us and i look back in awe now. So please give yourself grace....... you deserve it.
Also, shout out to Avalina she did awesome in her IXL debut. Wolfgang how is he already motoring around like that its just so dang cute. Merideth how big her eyes were telling you the playdough had dried out so she put it in the bin... she is a really sweetheart.
Avalina Said so much about IXL I could have let her do the whole sponsorship 😂 she said next year she’ll be 13 so she wants a UA-cam channel I’m like oh gosh…. 💀💀 she’s so funny!
You may not be the mom that you want to be in this season of your life, but girl, you are 1000% the mom that I want to be! You do so gracefully with 5 what I struggle to do with 3! You're truly an inspiration to so many of us. Your kids will always be so thankful that YOU are their mom!
kim, you are THE woman across the room for me!!! I only have one child, and I feel like I never get anything done! you are doing AMAZINGGGGG. your kids and this youtube community appreciate you and we love you! keep being awesome! ❤
I am in a similar situation. Just in awe of how much she gets done when I’m over here struggling to do anything at all with my one toddler 😂
Same! I have 2, a 3rd on the way 😅 I aspire to be kim 🤣
Kim we’ve all been there, doubting if we are doing enough for our kids but they will remember how devoted you are to caring for them and that you provided a loving environment for them to thrive in, not the dust bunnies, dirty dishes or backed up laundry. You ARE the woman across the room for alot of us and you’re doing great! ❤
I have been watching this video today. You are a wonderful mom. Stop worrying about others opinions. You work so hard for your family that I am tired watching. It does help me get busy and do housework. Just be you. I have been watching since you found out you were pregnant with Wolfgang. You are a super woman. I can't wait to see the addition done. You too I know. It will be fabulous. Oh no, more rooms to clean, so what. It us your and your families life. Be happy you are awsome. I am a 68 year old great grandma. I have been down the road a few times.
Sincerely, Martha
There is a poem I read many years ago…my kids are 41 and 43 and it is as relevant today as 40+ years ago…..”cleaning and scrubbing can wait till tomorrow……for babies grow up we’ve learned to our sorrow…..so quiet down cobwebs…..dust go to sleep……I’m rocking my baby and babies don’t keep! You are doing a phenomenal job. You do you which is MORE than …to quote you…”good enough”
Happy mother's day to the best Mom I've ever seen🎉🎉🎉
I had 4 kids and 4 grandkids and a walker for the baby is a life saver. They love moving on their own and you have free hands. 💕
Plus you can put toys on the tray
I need to clean my fridge today too. Such a cute dress! Have an amazing day an happy Mother’s Day to all ! 💐
Lauren I need to clean mine too..😉😁🌞
It’s always such a task! Happy cleaning!!
@@thewadsquad sometimes it's scary in the fridge.I thought last week a loose olive winked at me😉
@@catherineb5066 that was way too funny, I laughed so hard.
I feel like you always have a great balance in all you do! If someone shames you for the way, you do some thing it just a reflective that there’s something wrong with them. They do that to feel better about themselves. Your kids are very happy, healthy ,funny , smart and well-adjusted. Which is a result of great parenting!! Hugs Kim💕
I am a "non-parent" who is in awe of ALL that you do! Your children are fed, clothed, goven incredible opportunities for memory-making, they are kind, compassionate children who are comforted, loved ..... cherished! And I believe they know it ... FEEL it .... and what else could you ask for?!?
Kim, please give yourself the grace you wholeheartedly deserve! IMHO, you are doing a FANTASTIC job as a mom, friend, wife .... person! Thank you for ALWAYS putting a little "happy in my day"!
Much love & admiration from this "non-parent" over here in Central Texas! ❤❤❤
Ah. Wolfgang is really getting around-that lil guy 😍
Good morning,
Thank you for putting a LOT of happy in my day!!!
LOL, that was Wolfgang crawling around!!! 😊
Have a great weekend,
Love ya, Laura and Ava💕
Omg, I love your dress so much! 😍 also, how is he already crawling 🥲 I feel like you just had him 😂 Happy Mother’s Day 💐💐💐
Good morning Kim. Wolfgang crawling around is so cute. He is adorable. I think you are a great mom and I am so happy to hear you put time with family over cleaning all the time. I say KUDOS for that. Have a blessed day!
Amen to that!
You both are doing your best. Your sweet children will look back on their childhood and say Mom and Dad sure did make Everything fun for us. Please be kind with yourself you are at a point in your life where good enough is where it's at. As your little one's grow you will be in a different spot and on and on. I love watching you and your beautiful family and you are a Mother Many wished they had. So much love lives in your Home and Everyone can see it❤🥰
Shame on the people who judge you on how your home looks or how you do your job. Your a mom of 5 and get soooo much done and your doing your best. That is what counts and everyone is happy and also being taken care of❤
Hope everyone has a Happy Mother's Day! 💐
Kim, give yourself some credit, you have 5 children plus friends, and you deal with it all, you are fantastic, a great Mom and Wife, you do what we all do and you have beautiful children , chill out. I love your videos, they make me happy. I do remember those days. Love ya girl. A Very Happy Mothers Day you deserve the best.
Ha I am telling you this theme song makes me dance every time!! So fun to start the day with you chair dancing at the beginning ❤
Your doing a great job at being a mom Kim, so definitely give yourself grace 😊 Your kids are so happy, and when older they will be so thankful they had a mom like you! You are a beautiful person inside and out ❤
You are an incredible Mom and an inspiration to so many of us!!!! Have an awesome day!!
You are amazing & please don’t let those creepy inadequacy thoughts in! You constantly inspire me to be a better, more aware wife & momma ( even though mine are adults)
I love your organizing, cleaning, cooking, shopping & haul videos so much, but what keeps me coming back is your personality, attitude about life & up lifting funny ways about real life! ❤❤❤
Hey hey lovely lady your fantastic in every way never forget it you truly bring lots of love and light to our home ❤❤❤
Kym you are such a wonderful funny lady you have a huge handle on life and those people perhaps need a life love your videos x
Love your videos Kim , keep them coming !
Kim, you are an amazing mom to your kids. They are healthy and happy and they have loving parents! You are my woman across the room!!
Can i just say i love watching your videos. You help make me feel like we are doing our best and that's its HARD. It's so comforting hearing other people are in the same mental boat you are. Thank you for being unabashedly, you.
🎉
Oo I love your dress! Love all the organizing ideas. Thanks for great videos Ms Kim
Hi there woman across the room for me, you have taught me so much! Thank you! Clean enough, only clean what can be seen sometimes, 10 minute tasks (I had never thought about it that way until you!) and some great recipes. I thought you would be excited about what I did today…..TK max has only recently come to Australia and very recently one opened up near me so I went today and bought my first ever DW candle! I was so very excited! Please continue to do what you do…..you are amazing x
When you said, it won’t be like this forever. You were folding the tiniest pair of little shorts. 😍😍 when I feel heavy In my head I look at the clothing I’m folding and I just smile. What a joy. To fold these little clothing, and when you get to the bigger kids clothing and think just how much they have grown. How much you all have grown. Grace. Give yourself grace and never feel guilty to enjoy the moments and your life. 💙
Yay! New vid!❤
I love reorg vids.❤
Makes me more motivated to clean and organize myself.😂❤ My kids used to do what your daughter did all the time, which I used to find both sweet and adorable, and exasperating....cuz then I'd have to clean that too.😂
Edit: I totally feel your "snowball effect"... So I just go with the flow. I start with locating all the things that go in one room, gathering them, then I see if there's anything in THAT spot that needs to go back to the ORIGINAL spot, and then I look for other things in the original room and repeat the same way until the room I was originally in is complete, and I've also cleared a few things from the OTHER rooms. 😂
It's a hectic system... But it totally works for me.❤
If your upstairs snack storage trial run (say that 10 times fast) doesn't work for you, perhaps a dedicated movie night snack tote in your pantry might? I'm thinking something with a handle, quick and easy to grab when the fam heads upstairs for movie night...
You are the woman across the room. God is in this story is a good song. You are a great mom and wife. ❤
Hi Kim, you do such an amazing job with that many kids - keep up the good work!
Quick little GFG tip that works for me…right after you shut it off, still hot/warm, take a saturated wet paper towel or however many you need to cover the surface, close the lid and let it sit until it’s the last thing you need to clean. It wipes clean soooo much easier. 😊
you care for your children very well and your food choices are pretty great.
I am so proud and grateful for how much you show up for your littles. I know one day you will look back on this time and be thankful and grateful you loved so much and was so present. Please be kind to yourself. This culture has the habit of blaming ourselves (esp Mothers) for everything not being perfect. This state, I. My humble opinion, does not exist for more than the time it took them to snap a pic or to a clip. You’re such a blessing to so many!! Also I remember watching you with your babies, you’re so sweet and funny. Thank you for being a great Mom!
Thanks so much for being real. Homeschool mom of 3 here✋️and me and my husband run a business. We are very busy people,too. So I can relate. I appreciate your authenticity. It brings joy all the way to South Louisiana 😊. Never stop being you. People are critical but they are not running in our shoes. So beautiful that the care of your kids is a top priority. ❤
For you to even question ,what kind of mom you are and want to be, is proof you are an amazing mom....God Bless your beautiful family ❤
Look at Wolfgang go!! What a sweet baby! I love when you do these types of videos.
Love your vids and I don't know why but I enjoy hanging out while you do your laundry 😊 I literally replay vids while I do my own house work especially dishes lol keep up the good work your amazing 😍
I always hope that my kids will keep some of our family traditions in their own adult lives too
Just keep swimming Kim, you’re parenting the heck out of life, and WINNING!! Love from the UK. Xx
You are such a blessing and inspiration to me. I love your heart for creating meaningful memories and bonds with your children. That is one of my goals in this season of my life as well! hugs to you. There’s no better mama for your kids than you, you are doing a great job. Go Kim! Have a super day!
Kim,you definitely have it right! Time with your kids is far more important than a stellar looking home. Anyone who judges you on a messy home is very likely someone who needs to spend some time on what is REALLY important!
Hi Kim. Great video as always. I hope you have a Wonderful Mother's Day. I think you are doing a great job with the way you are taking care of your family. You need to give yourself a break sometimes like you say and just sit back and enjoy these moments with your children and husband. Life is flying by. Take care.🤗
You are doing so good. I had 5 kids who survived on chicken nuggets. Good enough they are all now grown and perfectly health. You are great. I love watching you.
Wolfgang as mesmerised as the rest of us as you try to get the washing machine tray back in 😂
Lol hate when that happens too as so fiddle diddly to get the slot back in with two hands let alone one!
I just have to say. I've seen many comments from moms regretting being obsessive over keeping a spotless house and not being as involved with their kids.
You are a great mom! I love seeing you interact with your kids. Its clear you enjoy them and it's refreshing to see.
Cleaning can wait. This stage and time with your kids and family only comes once. Each day is a new day with them. Time is precious don’t let others tell you your house is a mess at least it is happy. Messes won’t be there for long.
Hello beautiful how’re you doing today.??
Kim, I think you are incredible! You are seriously my wonderwoman, I am so envious of how much energy you have, though I'm sure you feel like you always need more! I just want to encourage you for this season, to let yourself have those moments, guilt free, enjoying your beautiful life you've created around you! One thing your kids won't remember is the piles of laundry and dishes, the mess or disorganization - they will remember their mama being there for them though! So let yourself relax into being a mother (which is a different thing from a housekeeper) there are thousands of people who think you are amazing, even at 10% energy survival mode. Much love from New Zealand xxx
I never comment but I just need to say you are a wonderful mom. We all experience that guilt because we want to do the absolute best for them. You take care of 5 kids, keep a cleaner home than myself, cook, UA-cam, etc. I have 1 and feel like I can barely keep everything together. Give yourself credit and remember how amazing you are. Your children will look back and remember how much you did for them and loved them, not that they had a messy play room sometimes or ate some processed fruit snacks (the horror 😱). Sending all the love ❤
You never have to justify yourself sweetheart. Nobody with kids that’s I know keeps a show home. Love all your video’s.
Around the house happenings/get it all done with me/cleaning what can be seen types of videos are my absolute favorite!! Feels like I’m just hangin out with a friend. Love yall so much!!❤
Kim you're a great mom and do so much for your children so stop downing yourself. When we were kids my mom was great. She would be cooking dinner when we came home from school. The house smelled so good with her cooking. The house cleaned. We did our homework and got ready for the next school day and watched a little TV before bed. She died this past Christmas and all those memories are with me every day. Your kids will have so many great ones. We did have some chores and worked fast at it. That was good times. Love your videos. I'm not the only one mixing up kids. Wentworth crawling around upstairs. 😆
Kim, you are doing 100 times better than I could ever do!! You're a great Mom!! Your kids adore you!! It makes me sad that you're so hard on yourself! You have a wonderful life with a family who loves you! You work your butt off for your family and they realize it. They will carry wonderful memories of all you do for them throughout their lives! They are blessed to have you as their Mama! Hugs!
Hi Kim, you are a wonderful mother and individual. Never let people do that to you. Sometimes, people do that to make themselves feel better.
Kim, you make more healthy food than most people I know, and you have 5 children and some of them have one! You are doing an amazing job. I love how you are real, like when you show the messes, we all have messes. Some people pretend they never have a speck of dust or dirt! Thank you for your videos, I love watching them.
Shame on those ppl who judge you!!! Kim I don't personally kno you girl but I guarantee you 90% of us see what an amazing person/ mom you are inside and out!! And ur house looks damn good for having the entire neighborhood runnin in n out every week lol!!!! Ur truly awesome girl!!!
These are my favorite gets me motivated and so many good ideas! 🤗❤️
We have been living in our home for about 3 yrs. This past Jan and Feb I reorganized all the spaces that weren't working. It takes time living in a space to figure out what works, doesn't work or no longer works. You are super mom/friend to us! ❤
First things first! That queso!! It’s delicious! We opened a jar two days ago and it’s half gone already. Second, the GFG, someone showed me a trick years ago for that. As soon as you are done cooking on it. Put a couple layers of paper towels on it and then spray your vinegar/water solution(if you have one that you use for cleaning) or just dump some water on the paper towels so that they are more than damp but not dripping wet. Then close the lid and the food bits and mess stick to the wet paper towels while it’s cooling off. Once it’s cooled or six hours later when you get to cleaning it off(me) everything just wiped off of it. Sometimes stubborn foods or burnt stuff will stick but it’s all still moist so it comes off really easily. Also to the person who commented on what you feed your kids, are they going to come cook for you and pay for your all natural 100% organic groceries?? No?? Then they can hush! I always say, if you don’t share DNA with these children and live in my house, then you don’t get to tell me how to raise my children! Rude!
Don't know if you will see this, but a good way to clean the GFG is to put two very damp paper towels in between while it's still warm. The stuff wipes right out.
I'm so thankful for your videos! You are so relatable! I can so relate to feeling like a failure in the Mom/Wife/Homemaker department. We've run non-stop for 3 weeks. End of school events, Vet school graduation, wedding, just ALL the things, so my house is a disaster from top to bottom right now. One kid finished school today, hallelujah, the other has 2 more weeks. It is what it is for now, and as you said in the video, I will tackle it 5, 10, 20 minutes at a time, whatever I can make happen. Thank you for sharing that your focus is on your kids, I can get into this rat race and forget to slow down and take time to just be WITH my kids!! Best of luck these last few weeks of school!! Excited for summer!
Greetings from Costa Rica. You are an excellent teacher to us. Just do the job at your own pace and enjoy taking care of your family. Best wishes.
Yay!!!!!! Some happiness and energy to start out the day 😅 Hope yours is going well!!
As I told Amanda this week ….. who put extra Italian herbs into her recipe, inspired by Kimberly Whisk….. Kim is my bestie !
I saw that she did that too 👩🍳 it made my day 👏🏻 haha thanks for hanging out with both of us!
You're a great mom, Kim. ❤
The only person you have to please and explain yourself to is the person in the mirror. Your a awesome mom and cook. Enjoy the time you have to spend with your family. The housework can wait. Take time to breathe. Love you guys
Meredith saying the playdoh is dried is so cute and she threw it away 😂☺️☺️☺️
Haha Wolfgang sneaking into frame 😅 He's just a stinkin' cute baby.
Kim - you are far from a mom failure! You do so much and you have a beautiful, healthy, wonderful family! Don't let anyone else judge you. :) You have been such an encouragement to me lately and I look forward to your videos. Have a wonderful Mother's Day!
Just started the video, can I just say your dress looks absolutely gorgeous on you!!!!! Lookin beautiful queen!
Kim, you are a fantastic mom! You do so much for your family all the time. And, you are a fantastic UA-camr. Definitely give yourself some grace!
I’m a seasoned mother of six, now adult, children and a grandmother. What I wouldn’t give to be the energetic loving mother that you are. I saw the long hug that you stopped doing what you were doing to receive. That says it all. You are a great example of balancing the work of home making and mothering with the joys of life well spent as a family
Good morning Kim! I recently got the same bin clips you have in your pantry. You mentioned wanting printed labels but not wanting to use your cricut. I just measured the paper it comes with (3 1/4 inch x 1 1/2 inch), made rectangles that size in a Word doc, typed the labels, printed and cut. Much easier, in case you are interested. 🙂 Love your videos! ❤️
Ooooh that’s genius!! Simple and sophisticated 👏🏻
Kim, you are doing a great job. Give yourself grace, it will get better and easier. My kids are now 15 and 16 year olds, and our house is spotless, but let me tell, I truly miss their early age years when our house was a mess but the kids were little. Enjoy it now, because time flies.
Be cheerful, for this Thursday is a day that the Lord has made. Rejoice and be glad in him, for his blessings endure forever. May his blessings rain on you today!
Thank you, Kimberly! Have a fabulous day.
Girl you are doing great!! Self doubt is a killer. I know because it has been eating at me for years now. My kids are in their 30's now and they are finally (after having kids) saying what a great childhood they had and how great we were as parents. Your kids will do that too. No worries. I did way too much when my kids were little. I had a daycare in our home and still volunteered on every committee, I had two girl scout troops, I was team mom for their sports, never missed a game or meet, and still managed to keep my day care thriving and kids learning. Not sure who that super woman was then but now she is worn out and her body is breaking down. So don't do what I did. Take care of you as well. You're important and worth it. You truly are an amazing momma so never doubt yourself. I don't know how you do it all. Prayers for you!!
your a great mom, thanx for sharing and have a great evening
Avalinas message for IXL cracked me up!! 😂 also giggled, you were talking about the baby crawling around but called him wentworth.
Ps. Your kids will remember so much more about the fun nights playing soccer and watching movies, than if the house was kept perfectly clean.! I’m relatively young (23) and promise I Denver the fun summer nights playing in my backyard on the swing set with my sisters and having a campfire later with my parents than I know if our pantry was organized!❤❤ you’re doing great
My son is 6, and when he stops and gives me hugs, it just makes life better.
Happy mother's day to an awesome mom.
It really annoys me when people have something to say about the way you eat or feed your family. Mind your business, you do you. I love your honesty about food and things you buy
Thank you!
You are adorable!!! And that scrumptious baby!🥰 So glad I found you as I was scrolling. I’m just an old retired grandma type that loves kids and yours look to be very happy & thriving! You’re doing a great job mom!!
I have just recently organized my drawers in my kitchen and it feels so good. I ordered that box holder for all my bags and wraps.. love it.. ❤️
Seeing another mom fiddle with the washing machine tray thing is so validating.
Why do they make them so annoying? lol
First Kim love the dress 👗 pockets a plus.2nd ThursYay weekends coming.3rd thanks for the inspiration I got my garden weeded & planted.Mrs Trumble wherever u are 💝🫂🌞
You are an INCREDIBLE mom!!!! Give yourself some credit! I wish I was the mom you are. My kids are grown and I hope they remember all the good memories. You got this!!!!
