Just an oddball question here; Did you used to work at Toys R Us?
No, I worked at Hot Topic at the ripe age of 15 for Black Friday
Never worked there but as a mother of three I am pretty sure I paid for someone else to work there! 😄
Nope. Worked at Walmart before though. 😆
I think she mentioned she did before...😅😅😅😅
Worked at Publix all through high school and college! And my parents would never take us to Toys R Us…too expensive 😂
I shopped at Toys R Us on Black Friday once- an experience I will never forget. It was an absolute mad house- barely room to move. I accidentally bumped into someone and said, "Oh, I'm so sorry." She looked at me, smiled and said, "You're still apologizing. You obviously just got here."
😂🤣😅❤
👵💜 I don't know how you keep your videos new and fresh. You bring me joy and happiness. It is like having coffee and a chat with a friend. You do hear me talking to you, don't you? You are greatly appreciated!!
I love sitting in peace in nature. Every morning I have my coffee on the back porch and watch all the birds buzzing around our yard. I told my husband that I feel like we live in the birds neighborhood, lol. Also, we have tiny chipmunks that come out during that time. So stinking cute!!@ i love that time of day.
Hi everyone, Happy Thursday evening from Australia. 🌸🐨🌸
Every day with The Wads puts happy in my life. Thank you Kimberly Whisk
I need a visit from Miss Whisk!😂
Life IS such a blur! My first born just graduated from high school last week and I feel like I slept through her life. I didn’t. I was/ still am so involved in every aspect of both my kids lives, but it goes so quickly that it just feels like I missed it. 😢 I’ve cried. I’ve rejoiced. I’ve cried some more. She is leaving home in August for university and I know I’ll cry A LOT then. But everyone keeps telling me, “they always come home.” I’m really counting on that. I’m so glad we had our kids 5 years apart because we still have our “baby” at home. Sure he’s 13 years old and 6 feet tall, but he’s still the baby! 😅😂
I used to work at a 🎯 service desk, and once had someone try to return a huge Lego set and when she handed it to me it just sounded like loose Legos. It was policy to open it (if it was an opened item) just to make sure everything was in there, and they had put CAT FOOD inside to make it sound like the Legos were in it. 🤣🤣🤣🤦♀️ People are wild.
Woah!!!
Wow!
I found out that there IS one Blockbuster store left in the world - in Bend, Oregon! Good memories.
I can’t say it enough, Kim, I just look so forward to your videos-ALL OF THEM! I enjoy your workout clips, shop with me, cooking & meal planning, “home steading” , vacays, organizing projects, redecorating, thrifting, unboxing, party prep, just every single bit! You are my woman across the room & darn tooting a good friend! Thank you for always putting out your happy to share with all of us! ❤❤❤❤
You are such an inspiration!
Couldn't have said it better myself...I was trying to think of a comment to let Kim know I enjoy all of her videos and then I read your comment...yup couldn't have said it better myself 💜💙💚💛🧡
Ditto!! 💜💜 Wish there was some way we could give back to her 😊
There is one open Blockbuster in my home state Oregon.
I’m like you about returns. But years ago I bought a green bathing suit for the beach vacation. Anyhooo, my skin turned green for the whole week. I took it to return when I go home and they told me I can’t return a bathing suit. I even showed them my skin! 😂
Make sure you add exact amount of water it asks for into the diffuser.. one time I couldn't get mine to diffuse and was losing my mind until I read the description( have no clue how I had those still around lol) and well it said there to put water exactly to the fill line or it won’t diffuse, so that solved for me, hopefully you can fix your cute diffuser as well!!
Out of all the UA-camers I watch, I think I like you the best particularly in this video.
Because when you're cleaning you do not tell people what you're doing because we can obviously see what you're doing. I hate when I watch a youtuber, and when they're cleaning they explain to us what we're doing when we can obviously see what they're doing.
I agree I miss the ole days of Toys R Us, Black Friday, and Block Buster! 📼 That soup looks delicious, but over here it’s probably gonna be a lot of chips and sandwiches this summer! 😂 The artwork you hung up in Meredith’s room is precious! ☺️ Hope y’all have a good weekend! 😊
I love when influencers I follow for other reasons share their fitness routines. It’s motivating, and it shows others that it’s possible to make time for it.
Thank you for being a friend!
And this will be what the DJ in my head plays today. Travel down the road and back again...
Your heart is true you're a pal and a confidant
My husband works for Costco. One of the craziest returns he had was someone returning a canoe, they told him it didn’t float correctly.
Love seeing everything you do , cooking, cleaning, working out, shopping, decorating, family stuff,... Sign me up!
Hello dear, I believe the humidifier is clogged. Unplug it, take it to the sink pour out the water rinse add vinegar for it to break down the calcium buildup. Once done add water , oil and it should work.
Love your beautiful backyard, it looks so peaceful and relaxing. You and your family are so lucky.
Everytime Wolfgang is in the video he is getting bigger all the time. Have a wonderful summer vacation with your children and hubby.
My mother in law and I love watching your videos. You brighten our days and reminded us how to have fun every day 😊😊😊😊😊
My sister and I used to be pros at Black Friday shopping. Remember the Cabbage Patch Dolls mania from the early 80’s? I went to Sears and stood in a crowd at the auto repair center (the warehouse was back there) as an employee from behind the counter tossed these dolls out to the crowd. I’m surprised I wasn’t trampled. Luckily I was tall, and could catch them. And if you got one you didn’t want, you just tossed it back to someone else. I bought 6 of those dolls that year. (Not all at once). But every niece and nephew got one for Christmas. And yes, Toys R Us would give you big black trash bags to fill and I’d drag it behind me. We had to go up and down each isle in order, no going to whatever isle you wanted. If there was something you wanted in that isle, you got it as you walked by. And you kept going until you walked every isle and then got to the check out. I wouldn’t do it now, but boy did I look forward to that day every year!
Yes, I spent the morning outside and listened to the birds while I enjoyed a cup of coffee.
My top “return” story is, I bought a blanket that I ended up wanting to return bc I found a better print. It sat in my car for 1.5 years. The very sad thing is, I worked at the store I needed to return it to. Needless to say I ended up gifting it 6 months later for a Christmas present.
I absolutely love and want the exactly dinette table with the chairs. Absolutely because !
I ❤❤❤ your content. You are the most caring wife and mother...a real inspiration. Thanks for sharing your journey.
I like all your videos but these are my favorite, where you are cleaning and chatting and folding laundry. You're the best.
I worked at Toys R Us for 14 years
Then my kids worked there to. Black Fridays were one of my favorite days to work. I was also one that helped closed the store. Best job ever.
I returned a lot of baby clothes that I received from my baby shower about a year later, at Target. The employees didn't give me a hard time at all. I've also returned and exchanged unopened boxes of diapers at Sam's Club. I love hanging out with you, Kim! You truly are my internet bestie. You make me want to start making videos myself :)
"Stand By Your Man" was Tammy Wynett, and the thingys on the back of your chairs are spindles!! Have a great day!! 😊
Kim, get some soda crystals to clean your Dutch oven. Put 2 scoops of crystals right into the pan, fill with boiling water, and leave overnight. If you have any residue left the next day, use a magic eraser and it should come back to life.
Cleaning one room at a time is the best way to go. Multiple tasks are always easier if you deal with them individually. Working at Toys R Us must have been a trip! My first job (at 16) was in a clothing store called T.W. Rogers. There was one lady who came in EVERY WEEK looking for the same item: A black dress in size 22!!!
My favorite return story is when after I just got married, we got a new duvet comforter and my husband threw it up on the couch not realizing there was a candle behind the couch and it caught on fire. 🔥 It was brand new! He took it back to the store and exchanged it. I still can't believe they took it 😅. It was at bed bath and beyond.
😂😂😂😂😂😂
LOL, and we wonder why they went out of business! Glad they replaced it for you. -\o/-
Use parchment paper in your Dutch oven when you bake sourdough. It helps save the look of your Dutch oven. 😊
I was always told, finding loose change is a Spirit visiting 😊
Another good flavor enhancement to your soup is poultry seasoning. I always use it for soup, dressing/stuffing, dumplings. Also, using Amish homemade noodles is a good alternative for the noodles.
Yes there is one Blockbuster left it's in my hometown of Bend Oregon They mainly just sell t-shirts and memorabilia I don't really think they do rentals anymore😊
When in high school, I worked a Kiddie World which is a “family run huge toy store” like you, I eve called off did everything and ever shift, and was kept on after the holidays ❤ it was fun and a lot of hard work. loved it😊. Always look forward to your videos ❤
I woke up this morning planning to to a whole house reset and tackle one room at a time today and then saw your video! Must be a sign! Thanks for the motivation ❤
InLOVED the smell of Blockbuster!!
The day after Christmas was the day everyone returned things when I worked at Belk Department stores. Plus, my manager was almost trampled by people coming in for the 75% off Hallmark ornaments. He was literally shoved out of the way and had tonhold onto the door to keep from falling. Those were some crazy days!
There is still one fully operational in Bend Oregon. I watched another UA-camr go inside and film. Brought back some great memories. Family movie time!!
I was a returns inspector at Blair (they use to be a flyer in your Sunday Coupon section for mail-ins years ago) up in PA during my summer breaks. They had an open returns policy and the things I got to inspect! Wowza. I had boots that clearly went thru a muddy field, shirt with actual fabric cut out of the back, and so so much more. Blair still took it all back.
Just a thought about your diffuser. It may have too much water in it. Oh!! BTW I absolutely love your videos. You are so full of energy it’s contagious !!!
Meredith’s comforter might be my old Laura Ashley comforter from either the late 80’s or early 90’s….that makes us besties. ❤
Black Friday when the BIG sales were only on Friday: the stores were advertise ridiculous sales and say “only 5 available , only 6 available, only 10 available and even 1 or 2 available”, that’s why we stood in line at 5am! Sometimes we still didn’t get the deal!
We used to do this with concert tickets at USF with my aunt. All nighters. That was so much fun! (Eventually they started doing a "lottery" so it didn't matter hot long you waited; you might be the 75th person to get tickets.) All the greats: George Strait, Reba, Lorrie Morgan, Brooks & Dunn, .... Such good times.
I still have a dvd player and we still watch movies on it and love it!
Hi Kim, I work at Costco in Canada so anytime you go to Costco and video it I always like to see what they have compared to what we have also yes return policy anything at anytime
Back of the chairs- spindles :) love your vlogs- binge watching to catch up 😊 when I can relax.
My husband and I close on our new house at the end of June. It's a 120 year old house with all the natural wood and doors and floors! 😭 my current house was built in 2008 lol I hate all the new and zero character
Nothing beats Seed!
We bought a hooded scarf for my daughter for Christmas off of Amazon. It was supposed to be new, we did not select the cheaper open "box" items. It arrived with a mcdonalds mcflurry spoon in the pocket.
My Nona returned a bed, her exact words were I’m not 100% satisfied I’m like 78. She waited 28 of the 30 days to decide🤦🏼♀️😂
Did you overfill the water in your diffuser? That will make it not diffuse.
Wooo hoooo. Right on time my friend Kim saves the day!
Hi, Kim, the gorgeous bird in your lake is a snowy egret.❤
Kim, on your Dutch oven you can clean it will bar keepers friend and I have no idea of what kind of magic is in that but it will come right off. On returned I once had a rooster from hobby lobby ( I was having a homestead moment I think) but I had it on my breakfast room table a good year or maybe two and we were getting ready to move so I went to box it up to donate and the price was on the bottom $79 and I thought nope I’m going to try to take it back, and they took it, I did dust first if that makes it better.
I used to shop at Toys R Us when my kids were little(late 80s and 90s) but only for Christmas. The rest of the year I shopped at Kmart,Woolworth’s,Sears and Kay B Toy Store. I had a set of those Raggedy Ann and Andy pictures in my bedroom when I was a kid in the early 70s! That soup looks so delicious!❤❤❤
I like when you film your workouts! Great motivation
I worked at Costco as a Returns Clerk. Do I have some stories!!
Short lists- Took old tennis shoes off right in front of me, they were so old early 2000's, wanted a new pair. It took mgr. forever to say fine! Lol
Father a d couple friends brought back playset that was yearssssss old returned!! Soooo many more
I'm sitting here watching while winding down for the day folding towels & wash cloths😊.....I found myself squinting at everything (my eyes are fine)😂......that Costco couch return was crazy(that's extreme).....⭐Toys R Us store is still here in NJ at American Dream Mall-Babies R Us too😊(oh the memories of Black Friday -real sales, crowds)......seen wonka🙂....reames noodles❤....
hi kim have you put too much water in the diffuser its got a water level on the side one bit over that level and it wont work x
Please.
Tell your husband I said thank you for his service.
Monday is memorial day ..
I use parchment paper in my dutch oven for sour dough bread. I think for your chairs the word you were looking for is spindles. Love your videos and all your energy!
Totally singing the Toys R Us song with you! I never worked there but went shopping there in black Friday when I was pregnant with my 2nd child. I got there super early in the morning, could barely find a parking spot, and there were no shopping carts! When I finally got to checkout line the lady in front of me let me put some of my things in her cart so that I didn't have to hold them (I had my hands full). It was so nice of her to do that. Those were the days though!
I worked at Old Navy in like 2010 black friday, similar back to back shifts where I slept in my car during my lunch break and I legit saw a kid sleeping on a table… bonkers!! Plus one time clearance tried to eat me, I was putting something away and it all fell on me!
Good morning Kim, I hate the theme days too! Me my daughter never says as trying until the night before! Try potting some fresh mint and lemon slices or orange slice with some black berries or any berries, I think you just bought some raspberries in you water bottle! Or fill you gallon container you use for parties and do that once a week and your kids will drink extra water every week if they see it on the counter! It’s so pretty and tastes good! Actually let the kids make it up and they will be drink more water that day😊
Paint the frames white and they will look good in there. ( the pictures in the bedroom) .
At least with white chairs Kim you can see the dirt to clean them. Kim the plant killer 😂. I used to grow beautiful plants. Now I feel sorry for the ones we have. Tammy Wynette sang the song. Thanks for sharing your day with us. ❤️
The last standing Blockbuster is in Bend, Oregon!!
Yes, please share your workouts! It’s very motivating.
My diffusers don't work if I add too much water to them. Perhaps try removing a little water & see if that fixes it.
I miss K-mart. They had the best bathroom decor and a good selection of kids toys. Also, they weren't as busy as Wal-mart.
Good morning!!!
Right after my little bro passed I'd find change mostly dimes. They leave it to show they are there. We also got reoccurring butterflies
I'm so jealous!!! The doll house at the end of Meredith's bed, I've been hunting for that exact one for my daughters for LITERALLY months!!! So many good memories with that house 😂
These are 1000% my FAVORITE videos to watch!!! You make me feel motivated and Normal!!! Plus your my best friend and it feels like we are hanging out 😂 i literally lol watching!! 😂
Good morning Kim from Iowa. Love listening to your stories. Thank you for sharing. I’ve tried returning items to TJ Maxx and was told no. Ugh. ❤❤❤❤
Hey, good luck with all the tornadoes.
Great morning Kim...thank you for your happy happy!!! ❤🎉😂
Love YOUR office remodel. So happy you figured out the diffuser light setting. Thanks for always keeping it real with being a Mom. Real Life is busy and not always Pinterest worthy…🙃
Happy Thursday Friend!!
I returned a microwave that broke after a year. Got a new one. It did almost explode but not from anything i did. Love how easy costco's return policy is.
Love the around the house happenings videos!
Yes, we like when you show your work out! Will you please tell us your favourite flavors on the oils I would love to order some but don’t know what to order! They should sponsor you!!!!
I worked at KMart in college and worked the Jewelry counter one black Friday. I could see the front door and watched a guy bloody his own nose when the crowd came in and he tried to push on the door instead of pulling.
Hello from Ohio. Love your videos. The kids are so cute. Love your home. I am laughing already. Thanks for your special dancing effects and funny stuff. Stayvsafe and healthy.
Good morning and happy Thursday
Thank you Kim, always a joy ☮️
Walter’s office is our favorite for the bathroom. It really covers things ya know 😂
Morning Kim! Lol, my daughters the same way as you when it comes to returns, I on the other hand am the complete opposite 😂. Make it a great day! 🕊️🌸
I looooooved going to Toys R Us as a child and taking my kids when they were little. It was like going to a them park! Lol
Blockbuster was my first job and by far my favorite! So much fun and so many memories!!❤
Good Morrning, mreFlorida the lady across the room
I do enjoy a few clips of your workouts bc it feels like I’m hanging out with your throughout your day.
Now, go take off the price tags on the pictures you hung in Meredith's room. PLEASE, just do it for me. 😜
Your voice over videos are so fun to watch. I like to work along beside you as you talk to us. ❤
Love the workout clips. Please keep adding them ❤😊
Use bar keepers friend to clean your dutch oven.
HAPPY THURSDAY Kim and family! Thanks for sharing your cleaning motivation, inspiration, and story telling. 🦩🦩🦩🦩🦩🦩🦩STTB
R those pictures of the David Winter cottages in England??
I have a collection of the cottages as well as the Christmas cottages.. the pics look like them.. beautiful!!!
I saw someone returned a dead tree at Costco. True story. It was basically a crispy stick with a ball of nasty dirt and gnarly roots at the bottom.
I could not work at the return department at Costco.
Oh Kim, I ordered oils from Magic Candle Company on May 13. Delivery is scheduled for tomorrow. This is like old time slow. 😀 I did the buy two get one free offer. They did say on their website they are very busy. I thought, Kim did this. 😀
I know what you mean about the good ol' days. I'm only 26 , but I always say that we have it so good it's almost too good. Like watching your favorite show and having a great time, but getting sad when the show is over and you have to wait until it comes on again. Now you can just binge watch whatever show you want for however how long. I know it sounds weird, but I miss those times.
