Love how easily you distracted Wolfgang in the laundry room! And his “thank yous” each time you handed him more laundry were the cutest!

[@shopwithjen]

Kim, I HAVE to have a morning checklist or I am a mess lol!

[@Momto3Ps]

We’re hosting an Italian exchange student. She is one amazing kid. She knows 5 languages. I’m so impressed with what she knows about America. We’re planning to go visit her at her home in the next year.

Girl. Take the trip. If Alex doesn’t want to go, take the older 2 or 3 and take a week with them! I’m sure it sounds daunting but that is an experience you and the kids will NEVER forget.

[@kristinannnnxo]

THIS!!! i feel like i’ve heard daydream about a trip like this for so long! might even be fun to take sets of kids at different times and different places!

[@mischelemiller5020]

This sounds fun

[@lyndamuller2025]

Wolfgang is so sweet helping with the laundry. Keep it up Kim! You are obviously a great mom.

[@nancyfarkas3592]

Toddlers love to help

[@mackenziemitchel6360]

OMG!!! Wolfgang saying 'thank you' when helping you with laundry was the cutest thing!!!! ❤❤

[@phyllissharman1067]

I took the trip in 2000, my company downsized and i took my severnce and visited my sons in Germany for Christmas. The best trip ever. Take the trip ❤❤❤.

[@dianajemison105]

If my guy pointed out, to me, that something was dirty, I would tell him to clean it. He would never do that, though. If he thought it needed cleaning, he would just clean it. We both live here. Wolfgang saying, thank you. Sssooooo cute!!! I forgot, I wanted to say, HAPPY HALLOWEEN🦇🎃🦇

[@nannypat6520]

My hubby is retired airforce. He started criticizing my ironing , because he obviously did a better job than I did he has done all the ironing since… that is 45 years. No. Complaints from either of us ✅💕

[@sarahjohn1484]

You have asked about the lifted "stage" area in your movie room and I have often wondered why that is there as well. In the latest Beeston Family video where they show their dream basement it all made sense! That is for a higher sofa/loveseat behind a lower row. It makes more sense for the closet to be at the back as well, and maybe even having the bathroom "behind" the theater space.

[@Andi-]

I could listen to you sing forever, what a voice!

[@amarie504]

[@stephaniebrackin3224]

I definitely vote for take the trip! If you can afford it now, don't wait...life can change so fast and you could miss your chance. We went to France last summer with our 6 year old and she loved it and was the best little traveler.

[@nataliem872]

Watched this last night as well, rewatching today as I clean my kitchen. With all the years we've been friends I didn't realize Eleanor shared a birthday with my late brother! I love that ❤

[@bettybutler3327]

When I was younger and my children were home, I truly enjoyed making Thanksgiving dinner. I am now 60 and my kids have their own dinners etc. So this year my husband, his cousin and I will be going to a local dinner buffet. I think anywhere with anyone on Thanksgiving is a beautiful blessing. Home is literally where your freinds, family and heart is.🦃

[@franceskloos1297]

You do so much everyday, it was adorable that you distracted him with helping with the laundry and he kept saying thank you it was so cute. Kim, you film, edit and give so much enjoyment to your friends that watch you all the time, I can always count on your videos being up, even when I am Distracted with things of life as soon as I turn on your video, it all goes away, Thank You For Being A Friend!!❤️❤️

[@stephanieburgess8217]

100% support your desire to take the family to Europe. I went with a student tour at age 20. Best decision ever.

That is exactly what I do. I make a list of everything I've done and that shows me I have been productive.

I make my snicker dates by cutting the date open, remove the pit and put a walnut and a bit of peanutbutter inside. Fold it close and dip in chocolate and freeze it for a little snack

[@jehnnaanderson1172]

Being an American sounds stressful with all those holidays to celebrate haha 😆 Here in New Zealand we basically only have Christmas! There’s Easter but that’s a reasonably small holiday, then there’s the long weekends like Anzac Day, Waitangi Day, Kings birthday, Labour Day… I think that’s all of them 🤔 but the only thing people actually celebrate here and do an actual gathering with family is Christmas so it’s pretty chill here the rest of the year 😎

[@isabelwall1714]

Sounds amazing.

[@kerynxoxo5685]

Recently introduced, Matariki! But I agree, here in NZ Christmas is the big one. Although, I don't know if you agree Halloween is getting bigger. Hi from Tauranga 😊😊

[@jehnnaanderson1172]

@@kerynxoxo5685Oh yay a fellow Wads fan from NZ! Hi from Dunedin 😁 Oh yes I forgot Matariki since it’s fairly new. I feel like Kiwis are just really chill about holidays compared to Americans. I grew up not having anything to do with Halloween and it seems like stores are trying to push it more these days but honestly I don’t see it ever being a true “holiday” here. Only one house in my neighbourhood attempted decorating lol

[@laurayoung4592]

I agree with everybody take the trip. You never know what life can bring you and then you might regret it. Have fun. Enjoy it while you can make memories with your family.

[@Taliam500]

I think we're friends in real life because your videos keep me laughing. We're on the same wave length with household chores! Printer ink does cost more than blood and sometimes sheets can get crusty. But hey! That's life and we're doing our best! Love the videos❤😊 Wishing you and your family the best everyday!

[@buttonsburnett8281]

I love how she says, "Look at my magazine," and proceeds to carry it around the house. Putting it down and picking it right back up again!

[@bettywurm306]

Yes visit Europe next year. It might not be the easiest to travel with the youngsters, but I can’t imagine you’ll regret it.

[@SamanthaNicoleRitter]

This!! I’d do it in a heartbeat if I was financially able to!

[@janakohne4522]

Liebe Kim, deine Fans aus Deutschland grüßen dich herzlich. Ein Urlaub mit den Kids in Europa ist eine super Idee! Liebe Grüße Jana und Familie❤

[@bossmama7069]

My 2 year old loves to put laundry in the dryer too! I never really cared for The Gaines. My favorite cookbook is The Pioneer Woman. If I could go to her store I would probably be a kid in a candy store if it wasn't for lead being in all her coloring. Aside from that I used to have all her cookbooks until I just printed out all the ones I wanted and made my own cookbook.

[@maureenlandes]

Kim, I love you so much. I haven't been watching as regularly bc it's been a busy season but I catch up, and you are so encouraging!!!!! 🎉 I also use my blue land tabs in different bottles 😂 Thanks for posting for all of us 💪

Doulingo is great! You can see word for word translation. Our girls switched to Rosetta Stone this year and they much prefer Doulingo. Europe…yes to Italy and yes to where you lived. We lived in PT for a few years and I would have loved to show our family around, but they never visited. 😢

My kids do it and they could order in Spanish at the Mexican restaurant and it was so cool!I am on 36 days now of doing it!My husband is Latino,but he was adopted when he was 4 and forgot the language.I think it helps me know some so far!❤

[@dorotheamercadante4717]

You are right! Dark colors especially show the grim. I’ve had white floors and cabinets and it seems to have a fast clean up.

[@joannewilliams41]

Really hope you can come to Europe soon 🥰 totally appreciate the price as we feel the same planning to come to Florida from the UK 🫣 my husband and I lived in Belgium for 3 years around 16 years ago and took our 14 year old for a visit at the weekend. It was wonderful to see old friends and show her our favourite places. I mean she is 14 so said mostly “meh!”🤣 but I loved it 😃 since the weekend hubby and daughter have been on Dualingo 🤣 although as soon as we tried to speak French/Flemish the locals spoke to us in perfect English *shame* 🤣 I think it’s good to try though 😃 love your vlogs so much - big fan 😃🥰🥰🥰xxx

[@brittanyw4563]

I had to buy the cookbook too. We just toured the Magnolia Castle (featured on the cover) a couple weeks ago!

[@haley1532]

Our house number growing up was 1 off of a local pharmacy and SO often elderly people would call and leave their medication order on our voicemail!! 😳 My parents would always call them back to make sure they knew we weren’t the pharmacy, but it was always so crazy to me!! Lol

[@dianaellul9345]

I have a confession. If I'm not leaving the house for the day I just stay in my pyjamas. Then again my home life is totally different than Kim's. Speaking of Halloween (we DON'T indulge) but I said to our black cat "It's black kitty day today" she gave me a sweet look and "HIIISSS!!!" I said "There's my little gremlin". Then she literally skipped away. She's a clever kitty.🐈‍⬛

[@katiewoessner-langenderfer1106]

Wolfgang saying thank you was so adorable 🥰

[@MsArmitage]

I'm on day 907, on duolingo. I've been doing Spanish. I finished the last version they had before the pandemic and wanted to get back into it. I've worked my way up to level b1. Or section six. But I had to take a break because my brain just didn't work enough for it then. I'm currently doing piano on duolingo. Which is great but also makes me feel occasionally extremely dumb. But I have dyscalculia and that is why it's extra hard sometimes, but thankfully, I'm not a quitter and stubborn as heck. The only real qualm I have with the app is that it doesn't teach you how to make your own sentences and how to have proper conversations. Language is a living skill. I speak Swedish and English fluently, and it feels like I'm too old at 37, with a brain scarred by a lot. I just can't retain it like I used to. But anything is better than nothing. I've also taken Chinese, did some Japanese, and some Greek. All schools should provide foreign languages at a young age. But most importantly they should all learn the country's sign language.

[@hansacat3165]

Hey Kim! Hello from Germany 🤗 Ich schaue deine Videos schon seit vielen Jahren und jedes zaubert mir ein Lächeln ins Gesicht. Vielen Dank 🙂

I have white cabinets on top and dark on the bottom. Both show everything. I agree that wood tone shows the least.

I know what you mean about being able to speak another language. My cousin married a woman from Poland and she can speak 4 languages. That is awesome that you girls know Spanish and learned it at a young age. That is the best time to learn language.

Florida resident here- hey if you ever want to do a "fall" vacation and see an actual apple orchard (love it!) rent a cabin up in Blue Ridge Georgia! Go around the third week in October- right before Halloween to see the fall colors! You can get a cabin at high elevation- so beautiful! Then go to the Mercier Apple Orchard. They do tractor rides thru the orchards- you get to pick some apples. The store and bakery is SO good. The apple fritters & Dutch apple pie to die for! Happy Halloween!🎃

[@aimeedouglas1584]

Blue Ridge resident here! 👋 If you plan to come rent a cabin in the month of October, book your rental well in advance (like 6 months minimum)as that’s the very busiest time of the year. Also, make dining reservations if you plan to eat out. It’s a gorgeous place to be, but it’s unbelievably popular this time of year and can be a bit overwhelming if you’ve never experienced it before. Also, apple picking is over by October but Mercier still has a great market, tractor rides and lots and lots of yummy apple and pumpkin treats!

[@sujeygomez934]

Joshua Weissman had a video the other day that mentioned pope's bread Panpepato! Blew me away. I have never heard someone mention it besides you.

[@patriciavogelsperger9645]

You are correct….,we do way more in a day than we think. And as long as the children are being taken care of and the house is reasonably clean…..life is good. Worrying about what we didn’t get done is a waste of time. Go along the day and due what you can. If you feel stressed ( by the way, should you eat something sweet? After all stressed spelled backwards is desserts. Haha). If the chore/activity causes too much stress…..scale it down. No one else cares as much as you do.
