[@sherrypatterson3518]

Kim I don’t think you realize how many women are probably looking at you saying “I can’t believe she’s had 5 kids and she looks that good!” I think you’re beautiful inside and out!!😘

[@joycajet]

I've had 2 boys and still have my belly lol. She looks amazing. I love her energy. Totally agree with you.

[@inkystroul1823]

Hear, hear! She looks absolutely fabulous! I've never had a child but my belly can sometimes look like I've had a dozen! God bless you Kim for reiterating to all of us that we are all just a work in progress! I know I don't give myself credit for that nearly enough! As always, thank you for putting "a little happy in my day"!!! Sending love from over here on the other side of the Gulf in Texas! ❤❤❤

[@christineschmidt4337]

Not kidding, some days I gasped and think, "oh my goodness, she looks like a real life Disney princess!"

[@phyllisiannetta8108]

That's just what I was thinking. You said it so well. Kim is amazing and continues to make such a difference.

[@SmittyDee8573]

So true, Kim you are definitely the "woman across the room", beautiful inside and out! I also feel like YOU'RE the Mom, I wish I was. I do my best but, always think that I should be doing more, especially being an older Mom (I was 43 when my baby was born), I have a happy child and hopefully he will not feel that he missed out... Thank you for sharing and helping us (me) feel better about myself!!!❤❤

[@emilytrainor5141]

You had me emotional at the end.. I am 55 & only had two kids, but just really feeling “down about my appearance lately”! I just think that we are all too hard on ourselves because when I saw you at the beach, I honestly thought you looked fantastic ! So thank you for that inspirational talk this morning, I needed to hear that. YOU are the woman across the room who I admire-- thank you for that❣️

[@wallashakalla]

You’ve got this lady!!!

[@sianbloor4779]

Me too Emily. I’m 53 and menopausal. The time when your body literally does it’s own thing! I do get down. But I try to tell myself everyday, “today I chose happiness & confidence”.

[@belovedobserver]

Came here to say just that. Trying to not cry at work during my pumping break. I have a toddler and a 6 month old at home 😊

[@user-ex7dt5pr6l]

I’m the same age with two kids who’s oldest turns 26 today. Love her honesty and it doesn’t matter how old we are, we are all Mom’s are struggling to look our best. To me it’s health wise. I want to look healthy not fake. Kim you are beautiful inside and out! Your sense of humor makes me laugh! 😂

[@alisonmassina3868]

Me too Emily I feel menopause has made me feel yuk about myself

[@Mommakate711]

YOU are the woman across the room for me! Your body, your motivation and energy! You’re absolutely amazing. Your children are so lucky to have you as a mom ❤️

[@meganlynch9267]

Yes, all of this is true!!! ❤❤

[@LaShumbraBates]

I love that on her own, Meredith did the dishes. That was so cute. She's growing up so fast. 🥲

[@athomewithjenny]

Kim, I know I've said this before but there are so many of us here that just love you. I am a mom of 5 also I had a set of twins and 3 singles. I am in my mid 40s and they are all grown up and moved out and I am seriously struggling to find my worth. I am so appreciative of you and your content and I honestly don't know how you do it all. I've tried this KZbin thing and realized I'm way too unbalanced emotionally to be able to pull off 2 weeks in a row. Lol. I was trying to clean my bathroom and I got so irritated it ruined my whole video😂. You are the lady across the room for me. I want to be you when I grow up. Also, I'm way overweight and I wear a swimsuit to the pool and beach because it doesn't matter what my body size is. I made 5 humans just like you and we deserve to enjoy our lives no matter what the shell we live in looks like. Please Kim, give yourself more grace. You are such an amazing person. ❤

[@truevanilla2241]

😂I relate to you- getting irritated cleaning the bathroom and ruining your video lol ❤❤❤ I wonder if my content would be so upbeat as Kim 🎉

[@auntj0801]

I needed that last conversation while you were folding laundry. I'm 6 months pregnant with my first and we're going to the beach when I'll be 31 weeks. I've always been overweight and so now it looks even more that way and I keep getting in my head about it. I just need to keep reminding myself that I'm growing our little boy and I'll look that way and I can always work towards changing it after he is born. It didn't help that I gained 80 pounds while in a wheelchair for almost 2 years and then got pregnant only a couple months after life altering surgery that helped me walk again. Life is crazy and beautiful and we all just need to remember that. Thank you!

[@barbarapeterson8030]

Wentworth is like; Mom I am happy I have a little brother; YEAH! ALL IS JUST PRECIOUS...GOD BLESS

[@kazanapepper4146]

Love all the pictures. My favorite is of Wentworth and Wolfgang looking at each other. Brothers bonding. Such a beautiful family. ❤️ 🙂

[@mariaTsounakis1521]

That was precious and showed true 💗 love

[@lauraackan4064]

Oh my gosh Kim. Your chat at me at the end really hit me in the feels! You are absolutely right! I'm definitely a work in progress, struggling a bit at the moment. Thank you for sharing and being an amazing friend.

[@lollipop3953]

You are absolutely beautiful - inside and out! A mom of 5 amazing kids (one being an infant), wife, homemaker, youtuber, friend, neighbor...I don't know how you find the time and energy to do all that you do. And you look fabulous doing it! Thank you for sharing your life with us. I know you have struggles and challenges that we all have and I appreciate you giving us something to smile about through it all. :-)

[@objectiveobserver4278]

My grandmother died when I was seven and my sister was ten. She had a whole cabinet of spices. My uncle lived with her, but he never used more than salt and pepper. To keep us occupied, he would give us a bowl and allow us to "make potions" with her spice cabinet. I have fond memories of that, playing in my grandma's kitchen with my sister.

[@kathykwilliams6457]

You deserve a new bowl for your KITCHENAID! YOU COOK EVERY DANG DAY! DO YOURSELF A FAVOR🎉❤

[@kerryharding5587]

Sweet pep talk Kim and so very true. Why are we so generous with others and not ourselves?? Good reminder 🙂 And Kim - you look fantastic and your light is shining bright. Have a wonderful week 💕🌟

[@johannacollins4721]

You always make me laugh! Watermelon at the beach is always a staple! ☺️ You’re an amazing mama!

[@ritahamm1893]

My daughter is a Certified Eating disorder dietician/nutritionist. Holder Nutrition. She is also a mom of 7. She would tell you God made women’s body to do what it does. It is a beautiful thing and celebrate it. You look great. You always look great❤️

[@MrsAlmaTrumble]

All I wish for you is a beautiful weekend. Make my wish come true by wearing your beautiful smile throughout the day.

[@diane8885]

I have a cure for the ugh... for bathing suits or clothes. Remove glasses or contacts. Avoid mirrors. * removing glasses also works for weeds in the lawn. If they are green it counts as lawn. Dandelions are a bonus.

[@botanicalbecca8443]

Good morning, Kim! Happy Saturday! Jalapenos turn red if left on the plant to ripen further. You just got a blushing one that was more ripe. 😊

[@melwynter9365]

Kim, YOU are the woman across the room for me. I love you and inspire to be such a great person just like you. You deserve so much praise.

[@thewadsquad]

Thank you for the love

[@tammilow]

You’ve just helped me have a more positive thought of myself today. I thank you for your encouragement. As I finish my spin class on my home bike. As I push myself to work out like I have over the past 35 years I realize that I need to be gentler with myself and on my body concerning work out and appearance. You’ve just giving me the thought that at 62 I am entering a different phase of life and I need to be kinder on this body that is aging.❤

[@tabathapierce8748]

I love that you enjoy feeding family and friends. That’s how our family is we always try to have enough for everyone

[@juliemoore6957]

Wolfgang is such a doll!❤ Just precious!

[@paulaerwood412]

I have two computer screens at work, so I watch you on one while I work on the other. The end of this one made me break down in tears at my desk, because I have been struggling lately. When you said think of something good about yourself I had nothing. You started saying all those positive things and I lost it. Thank you for being positive for all of the women out here having a hard time doing that for themselves.

[@kathykwilliams6457]

❤❤❤Watching your children/family brings me happiness ❤❤❤I miss having children and family around ❤I'm with you! Love photos❤

[@carlap9859]

I don’t think there’s anything more calming or relaxing then hearing the waves crash on the beach! You’re such an inspiration to be able to take care of all your kiddos; letting them help out in the kitchen, all the meal prepping and cooking you do, (while holding the baby and you’re always upbeat with a smile

[@karentampos1524]

Those self affirmations were one of the reasons why I love to watch your videos and the fact that you are a great person. ❤❤❤

[@StandingInMyPower]

Love yourself. You are beautiful just as you are. Have a wonderful weekend ladies!!!

[@sewingstoryprojects6178]

Thank you for the positive message at the end!!!! 🥰😍🤩The trip and the food all looked fun and yummy!! I live 4 miles from the beach...I really should go more often.

[@CherylHoward-tc5ut]

You are such an incredible friend to me. That little pep talk at the end had me in tears. I have struggled with my weight all my life and I often have those feelings of “the woman across the room” but at the end of the day, I am me and like you said, I hope when I am gone, people will only remember me as a good mom, good Gigi, wife, friend. Love you!!!!

[@victoriamahon3765]

I have a super easy Hawaiian pulled pork recipe to share! It’s like three ingredients but people rave about it whenever I make it. Disclosure this wasn’t my creation and I found it when I was looking for Hawaiian themed recipes for a luau. I wanted something close to Kalua pulled pork which is normally cooked in banana leaves, I came across this hack short recipe. They call for pork butt, but you could probably do it with other types of work I would just add a touch of cooking oil. So basically you put your pork into your slow cooker, add a little salt, then you take a whole banana and you poke a few holes in it with a knife but don’t peel it. Then you give it a couple of good shakes of hickory liquid smoke. (Don’t go too heavy with the liquid smoke, you can always add more later but it tastes weird if you used to much). Then cook on low until pork is falling apart and starting to shred. The banana will turn black and get very soft and mushy and should be discarded. But the pork has an amazing tropical yet smoky flavor! And it’s so easy! I love that coleslaw recipe too I’m definitely gonna try it because it would go great with the pork! 😊

[@mistyowings5579]

Lol I'm reading thru this, and I was like ok a naked banana, poke holes ... wait will it be all mushy on the meat... then thankfully u wrote , it's not peeled .. lmao I had that moment like oooooohhhhh 😅 lol ok .. I'm new at cooking so I need things explained al the way lol I took a screen shot , going to try this !!

[@wallashakalla]

Sounds delicious!!!

[@kfer93]

Kim I haven't watched you in forever because well, life is crazy. But thank you for always being such a bright light. You have never changed or skipped a beat and I just adore your authenticity ❤ eta "the size of your big toenail" SENT ME 😂

[@kathyclarke5899]

Usually you make me laugh. And you did. But today you made me cry. I'm 65 and retired. Having knee troubles so can't go for walks and keep my weight down. But you're right. I'm doing my best and I'm truly living my best life. Thank you for the reminder. You and your family are beautiful and so fun to watch. Have a happy weekend. ❤❤❤❤

[@vickidolph1581]

I always use my emersion blender to scramble eggs. It really does make them so light and airy😊

THANK YOU for the pep talk at the end of the video, I really needed to hear that! Just one of the MANY reasons I love being your friend ❤

[@judithjohnson2111]

You are amazing Kim. I appreciate you more than you'll ever know. You are everything that is right in this crazy world. You make me feel better about myself. Awesome video Love❤

[@Binxthesphynx]

I totally understand what you are saying about our view of ourselves. I deal with this daily. We just have to remember to be true to ourselves and to love ourselves. I think you are beautiful and I absolutely love how you keep it real and promote positive vibes. Makes my day 😊

[@elizabethdirks6533]

Thanks Kim. I enjoy your videos and hanging out, truly. We fold laundry together and I laugh alongside you. Looking forward to all the recipes from your week-long beach vacation!

[@LisaFriedStrings]

Good morning! Those wellness wraps are better, even when meal prepping, if you give them a little crisp. I put mine over the flame of my gas stove, but you can put them in a pan. It improves the texture so much.

[@mudandglitter1609]

Bring on the summer vibes, Kim! It's a cold and rainy day here in PA, and as soon as I saw that you were headed to the beach, I could feel the sun on my skin (in my mind of course lol). Thanks for putting a little happy in my day today 😊 ETA: I think the e cloths can be cleaned by boiling them in water. I put mine through the was with my other cleaning rags and towels, but every once in a while, I boil them to get all the detergent and softener out of them.

[@sallyhigby9089]

Appreciate the thoughts on how we feel/talk to ourselves. I work on this too and the struggle is real so I definitely understood your point. Hope you have a great weekend!

[@chereeburtner4659]

Thanks for taking ME to the beach with you! It was 30 degrees last night and might reach 60 today in Ohio. Wishing for beach like weather 🏖

[@orietdiamond4185]

Good morning! A day at the beach with delicious food with your sweet family! My favorite time of year, too!

[@kristinabrady6569]

Thanks Kim. I am currently in a transition myself with weight loss and to know that YOU, whom is the woman across the room in my eyes feels this way sometimes, make me more apt to be kind to myself. Love ya!!

[@barbarapeterson8030]

HAPPY SATURDAY AND BEACH DAY VIDEO; Kim and family! Yes, here in the Burgh it is Raining and the temp is chilly/cold still; but, more cold weather coming in a few days. My husband loves the Snow so right now he is still loving the cold. I was born in the Summer and I love the summer. Kim, Golly Gee you can cook; love your recipes. STTB.

[@roxannebudd1978]

I love your last comments and I’m there too! Transition is hard. Your family is lovely and you and Alex are doing great!❤

I'm pretty sure you can freeze egg whites (right in the carton) if you can't make it through the case in time.

[@cynthiatownsend]

You have a wonderful family - nothing is more important than that

[@tanyanichols7487]

Fresh ginger tip: keep the ginger knob in the freezer. It keeps it fresh forever. When you need it no need to peel just use your microplane zester to grate it! Works like magic!

[@vickidolph1581]

We live in Bradenton and go to the beach 4 mornings a week with our neighbors. We go to the picnic area on Coquina Beach and have a breakfast sandwich and coffee. Then we head out to the beach on the Gulf of Mexico and enjoy all of the sea life. I think this is our 284th day going to the beach 🌴🌞🌴🌞🌴🌞🌴 Life is good and we are living the dream!!!

[@emileefloyd9874]

Good morning Kim!! Quick tip on the ginger! I use the edge of a spoon to scrape/peel the skin and then grate it. I just go ahead and do the whole piece and save the rest for another recipe

[@kimgoldsberry4088]

1st: "Leaning tower of pineapple" I'm dying! 😂 B: I've come to the conclusion that Kim's philosophy on cooking is "Measuring is something that happens to other people" 😁

Great video!!! 🎉🎉🎉 Thank you… I am looking forward to your week at the beach!!! I get so much enjoyment from all your meals that you prepare while you are there!! You always ALWAYS put lots of happy in my days, weeks and months… I wonder how many YEARS I’ve been watching you. I feel like your kids are my grandkids and they are growing up before my eyes. Thanks for all you do!!! Can I just add what an amazing mother you are!!!! I wish I had been half the mother that you are. But, as you know, there are no do-overs so you just have to move on and do your best. That’s all I can do is my best… at least I keep reaching for my best. Have a great weekend with your family and friends!!

[@meganlynch9267]

One of the biggest reasons I watch you is because I feel like you make me a better mom and person. You have so many kids and you are so busy all the time and yet you still get the dang thing done! Your killin it on the mom game. Some days I feel like I am falling apart, then watch your videos and by the end I am motivated and feel like "OK I got this" there was so much more I wanted to say but I can't put it into words. Thank you Kim for being a friend❤❤❤ you have no idea.

Crying at the end. I’ve heard you say before and often tell myself on my hardest days. When I am gone they will not remember me for the size I am. I hope they remember me for the mom I was, how I made them feel and the love I gave them.

[@marywhitwickie994]

Everything looks so good kim!!! I live in northern IL and I’m so jealous of that beautiful weather. I think we all have those negative body thoughts because of unrealistic body images that are out there. Celebrities have personal chefs and trainers that help them bounce back, and when they do those images are all over. As a mom to little girls I try and not speak about anyone’s body because they don’t need to be comparing themselves. We focus on health and moving our bodies to make sure they are taken care of instead.

[@marce6393]

Your words at the end brought tears to my eyes. Please know that you are the “woman across the room” for so many of us. I love how real you are. I’m always happy when I see a new video from you. Thank you for bringing us with you on this journey!
