I love your channel and I love love the musical interludes. 💖

When I make soup that includes noodles, I always cook the noodles separately and store them in the fridge in a baggie. I run hot water over them and add them to the soup after it has been warmed up. That way the noodles don’t get over cooked when you heat up the soup. It is not as convenient but it tastes much better.

[@mariaolker]

Plus it soaks up all the liquid.

[@kathleenkaufman6007]

Same here!!

[@Tristina_Rose]

These are always my favorite videos of yours, when you just bring us along on your day! Can’t believe nobody stopped when you fell, so glad your cousin was there!

[@mymotherstale5834]

You are so organized! Love the zone 1,2,and 3 for chores!

[@houseofzubias9443]

I once rolled my left ankle and landed on my right knee in the middle of the street. Well I broke my kneecap, there were people up the street watching! They did not even bother to see how I was. I had to crawl across the street. I was in so much pain. I was in tears. I was also mortified! 😭 My husband told me, that those people should have been mortified. For not helping me and just standing there watching, not me! I'm sorry you fell, and no one helped!

[@shesinherapron]

Thank you. So sorry you had to go through that! What did they have to do to heal your knee cap?

[@houseofzubias9443]

@@shesinherapron Thank you! They just put me in a leg cast and I had to be on crutches. I think I wore the cast for 6 weeks. Not fun! I hope you feel better soon! ❤ Luckily it was before I had kids. Kids would have made it so much harder. Good luck mama! ❤

[@prettybyte6513]

I did the same years ago and somehow affected my knee. I still do the PT exercises for my knees and ankles because I have flares of pain. Bob & Brad PTs on youtube recently had good stretches and exercises for this. I also elevate my legs every 3-4 hours for 15-20 minutes to avoid swelling and increase circulation. It’s my “me time”. My boss even said it was fair since others get smoke breaks for about that time.. though I usually catch up on work emails and phone calls during that time anyway.

[@houseofzubias9443]

@@prettybyte6513 Good advise.

[@Mom-pu8vt]

I would have offered to help you if I had saw you- just to let you know not all people are the same. I fell at night in my room and believe it it or not the arm chair in front of me ( I thought would save me) under all that soft cushiony part had a sharp corner and that broke my arm in three places!! I had to have metal put in my arm and did physiotherapy for 2-3 years until I recovered and could use it again.

[@annmariemitchell2532]

Glad you had a great break after your move. I did very little this weekend as I’ve hurt my back, I knitted and crocheted mostly. Stay safe and god bless you all xxx

[@LifesLittleThingz]

I live in upper Texas and we are 43, windy and rainy today 🥶 I'm glad you had a fabulous vacation. We stayed home over the weekend, which helped me get a bunch of filming done. I like your filming system on the board, it's difficult when my mind gets clumped up with video ideas and it doesn't rest. I need to get a good organized system for my channel. Have a great day!!

[@dilipkaur2315]

Hi from England really enjoy watching your channel and picking up ideas your such a nice person the way you explain everything I have four kids I can imagine how hard it getting the house work done on top picking the kids from school take care

[@belindafirley]

Hi Kimmy, Love your You Tube Channel! You and your family a such a wonderful encouragement not only to my precious family but to so many throughout our wonderful world. I love that you encourage, inspire and share with so many. It is such a wonderful blessing. For that I thank you! I also love your ideas and tips for cooking delicious meals for your family! Cooking is something that I love to do for my family also! Much love and God Bless from our family to yours from Australia xxx

[@wifemomlife5606]

My sweet friend. I had a very similar thing with my ankle. I had to crawl to our home and I was 5 homes away from mine. There were cars passing me and even neighbors out on their phone and nobody helped. I was in shock. I have similar sensations when I am about to pass out. Loved this video. Bless ya this week. We are in Mississippi and YES.....we are limited with Alfredo...Like what??!!

[@Mamatofive10]

Your emergency food storage is GOALS but making me feel like I am slacking! 🤣 I am going to try that soup recipe! Looked so good! Loved this video as always ❤

[@marshabrubaker185]

I hope your ankle gets better soon. Years ago, I sprained my ankle & fractured my nose by falling down a flight of stairs at work. Nobody came to help. That ankle is still somewhat weak. Labor Day weekend temps were 99*+, so I was indoors trying to beat the heat. Plus, I live in Southern California, so I was packing & double checking my go bag in case I had to evacuate due to the wildfires ranging through most of CA. No, I didn't have to evacuate.

[@Myeverydaywifelife]

Swelling when you travel is an inflammation & water retention problem, try taking turmeric daily it has helped me tremendously. Also the bloating when you is could be a gluten problem. Maybe have a doctor run a test to see if you are gluten intolerant. Being gluten free also helped my water retention & inflammation.

[@sandybo9937]

I get swollen feet, too. May I suggest a pan of Iced Cold Water that goes up over your ankles, if you have epsom salts add that to the water, This really helps take down the swelling. God bless.

[@kathikoran4986]

My family works in Special Olympics. We are on hold. State level looking at opening at this summer

[@nickiramsey4439]

Glad you had a nice trip.. I live on the far southeast side of South Dakota. My husband and I are heading out to the Blackhills next week to do some trail riding with friends. It is so beautiful out there.

[@busybakingmama2519]

Southeast SD here too!! By Sioux Falls. Love our state!

[@prettybyte6513]

Thanks for sharing some of your vacation pics here. I chose to only have one form of media over a year ago and it’s KZbin. It’s been a difficult choice but I have stuck to it so I make more time for life. Thank you for sharing your life with us.

[@punkinpie27]

Hope your ankle is feeling better!! When I have a stubborn bruise etc that won't heal up I alternate ice and heat, 1 minute each for a total of 10 minutes a few times a day. I find it really helps signal to the body to send healing to that area.

[@colleengarcia159]

OMG ! Kimmy the very same thing happened to me three weeks ago I twisted my right foot and was down for three weeks still walking with a limp on week four, but I spent my time doing embroidery on a quilt I am making for my mom. Hope you feel better soon.

[@MyBlindMamasMessyKitchen]

i’m happy to hear your family had a nice trip. I sure hope your ankle starts to feel better soon. Girl I need your energy! You’re amazing.

[@amandadewindt9750]

Your videos calm me. I love you and your family. I always look forward to your videos!

[@shesinherapron]

Thank you so much!

[@pstokdijk]

My daughter played soccer in the fall, and basketball in the winter and baseball in the summer....she is grown and my cow bell that I took to cheer on her team is retired and quiet :) Labor day weekend is a tradition that the girls in my extended family rent a cottage on the beach an the boys go away fishing, such a great weekend, warm weather days and cool evenings for campfires. Labor day weekend is always the last summer blast before school/university starts back, here in Nova Scotia, so we pack in as much fun as we can :)

[@crystalmorse-baird7831]

So in the last 9 years I have fallen down the stairs 4 times (on vacation, at home, at the kids school...) and each time I have torn the ligaments on the top of the foot and it takes me a good 6 months to recover. Now I avoid stairs like the plague.

[@nspindlow5046]

Up in the 90s in GA. Broke my ankle in 3 places and sprained my knee. As I was stepping over the baby gate with a baby in my arms I got startled. Had to call a friend to take me to the ER as hubby doesn't drive plus someone had to stay with the baby. Compression socks are my best friend for swollen ankles.

[@lindybudd3053]

Labor Day weekend.... Well I live in California. Every year my brother and his old Scout Masters from boy scouts hike a portion the John Muir trail. Covid postponed their trip until Labor Day. They left Friday afternoon and Friday night the Creek Fire started. Long story short we spent the weekend coordinating with them through their Satellite Beacon. We were also passing the information we received from them on to the Sheriff’s department and later the National Guard. They got evacuated via helicopter by the National Guard on Tuesday and are home safely.

[@janiceyoder621]

Labor Day, my husband and I went to Lowe's for more stuff for our entry/bathroom/pantry reno project. Plus stops at Wal-Mart and Kroger. It was a hot day in NW TN with tons of people out shopping!

[@dianeb9435]

My son and I were in Hawaii, the very first day we were there and I fell off a curb and hurt my ankle like that. A very nice couple stopped and asked if we needed help which was nice. I was so afraid I broke it. I was ok after a couple minutes but I missed out on some of our Hawaii adventures like the hike we had planned. I bought an ankle wrap from the CVS there and I have to say it really helped!

[@tiffanytunoa7240]

We went for South Dakota/Mount Rushmore over Labor Day weekend as well. Had sooo much fun!

[@neacienation]

I have ADHD and have always been clumsy so I understand how you feel. When you said nobody stopped I just felt so sad. I am so sorry you had to go through that.

[@jillkennedy6993]

Our boys are in hockey and lacrosse! My you youngest started lacrosse at age 5! So much fun!!! My daughter does gymnastics!

[@ameshiamoore9437]

Chilled at home! My neighbor had a party that Sunday so we went to that! It was really nice!

[@judywoehl4924]

Yes Alfredo is hard to find here in South Dakota, especially in the family size jar.

[@seedyourmind9690]

We went camping labor day weekend. It was much needed fun! Next week we will be going away to NY state (upstate) to relax in the mountains at our timeshare. I know it's not going to be the same this year but we will make the best of it.

[@sandrasweet92]

What an amazing trip!! That is so on my bucket list, to see Mt Rushmore and all those sights out there. Thank you for all of your home inspiration. Praying your ankle heals well.

[@cyndifoulks1852]

We only live about 50 miles from Devils tower and it’s one of my favorite places to go. It’s only about 100 miles for us into South Dakota and one of our favorite little towns is Spearfish. Going through Spearfish canyon is such a beautiful drive especially in the fall when the leaves start turning😊

[@jillgrant7448]

We used to live in South Dakota and loved it. We lived in Spearfish. It was so beautiful! We’re back in NC. We lived in SD for one year.

[@frazzledmomof4824]

I loved this DITL video. I am so sorry you hurt your ankle. Ouch! I was just in Utah, my sister was involved in a serious car accident 12 broken ribs and a brain bleed. As I was flying into Utah, I thought I wonder where Kimmy is down there? She would be a good friend to have right now.

[@shesinherapron]

I’m so sorry to hear that! How is she doing now? I pray she heals quickly.

[@madeleincoetzee5636]

From the looks of it, you guys had a awesome weekend... I didn't do that much, recovering from surgery and may not do anything and it's frustrating... Did an online craft course and it was fun... You better go to the doctor with your foot... Get it looked at... Take care, can't wait for another video...

[@DeniseDCoy]

I have the same problem..bad ankle and fall alot..I was told that when you feel sick after an injury it could be a break..i went to the emergency room after a fall and they said bad sprain but follow up with orthopedic and it was a hair line fracture and wore a boot for 6 weeks so please get ankle check out if not better...prayers you feel better. Love watching your videos.

Colorado has gotten snow, too, and many are thankful since they’re also dealing with some wildfires.

[@bethannyallup2288]

Wow! Glad you had great time in SD! It is an adventure of a life time you can ever take! And worth it journey ive taken these same venture your family took, looking forward to going back nx year but its already been 6 yr when we was there last yes very beautiful! Unbelievable! GODS work!

[@peachscouts2141]

I just became a sahm 6 weeks ago and I’m 23 I’m so scared and your videos help me feel like I can handle all of this 🥰❤️ thank you so much for posting!!!

[@julietannOsfan1972]

I hope you recover from your ankle injury soon. x I heard about the winds in Utah. I bet that was scary. I also heard that there has been a bad fire in Provo & that members of the church fasted & prayed for rain & the next day it rained/snowed. What a blessing. That mountain in Wyoming reminds me of Andrea Mills, as she & her family went there & they filmed it. It also reminds me of the film Close Encounters of The Third Kind. Brill film.

[@gina62104]

Have you tried wearing compression socks when you travel it helped me 100% with the swelling. The doctor recommended them and they worked for me was so jazzed because I have had issues for years but not no more.

[@allykatzia5075]

I second this. I work 12 hours and it helps me immensely

[@marilynb8136]

Good day to you guys. I love that Fall!!! Everything pumpkin!!! I'm in the process of making a Halloween quilt with lots of embroidery. I can't wait till I complete it!! Blessings to you..

[@tonyanorris6574]

I have to say, you make me feel like a lazy wife lol!!! My husband is always telling me I'm doing too much to sit down and rest, but watching you makes me need to jump up and do a whole lot more!!!

[@kristinschaoticlife]

Ouch! That sounds painful! I can't believe people just walked on by. I seriously love soup. I could eat it all day! Thanks for sharing! I hope you feel better soon.

[@shesinherapron]

Thanks!

We never get case lot sales in our area...unless you drive 40 miles to Sams. Costco is 2 hrs away.

[@692caw]

i know exactly what u mean about no one stopped to help. I fell in a Walmart parking lot. I have MS and at times I go down. It took me a little bit to get up and I couldn't believe the looks I got;.

[@ogarcia777]

I did that same trip with my family last year. We are from California, so we flew out to Denver and started our trip from there. I have teenage boys and they enjoy it, especially climbing Devil's Tower.

[@hannahgreen1586]

Sorry to hear about your ankle no fun i hope it’s nothing serious but definitely take it easy🙁. I broke my foot from falling off a curb about 2.5 months ago and had surgery about 2 months ago. I was down for about 3 weeks. I had the same feeling like it was a different feeling for a ankle sprain and walked on it for 2 weeks with a boot before they could determine it was a break because of it being so swollen. I thank God that the surgery went well and it was an easier surgery and recovery time than the dr anticipated.

[@pkonieczny6623]

OK. I give, what do you make with your Corn Muffin Mix and white cake mix? I am interested.

[@lelaclifford1408]

Pray for oregon we are battling fires badly! My kids are sad they can't go outside the sky is orange here for days.

[@shesinherapron]

🙏🙏

[@michelebadey3883]

Kimmy when I hurt my ankle like that, the Dr. wrapped my ankle to push the water out of the area. A sprain can be worse than a break. I wish you fast healing.

[@ashlinielson2578]

You really check it with your doctor especially if it feels different than the previous time. I did that one time and turns out I screamed the entire top of my foot not the side and they had to put me in a cast that had a crack in it down the middle for six weeks and the draft said if I had not gone in right away it would’ve been really dangerous and I could’ve caused a lot of major damage but I do hope you feel better soon.

[@camiramirez1651]

Our kids are homeschooling and most sports are canceled, but normally they run cross country, track, and cross country skiing. What a year it has been.

Hot water (as hot as you can stand) EPSOM salt soaks for your foot ~ Did the same thing to my ankle and have experienced repeated issues over the years ~ You can pick up a large bag of salt in the Pharmacy area of Walmart for $5 - $8 ~ Feel better

[@dianecelaya1354]

Hope your foot gets better. I had the same thing (falling) and I'm on my 3rd surgery. The doctor's had to fuse my foot. Suggestion ask to see a podiatrist or an orthopedic surgeon from your pcp. And I've behind your knee when you put your foot up. I have had an easier time finding the dry packets of Alfredo where all you have to do is add milk to them I find them in the same seasoning where you get the marinade packets period and they're cheaper too and store longer

[@kelleholloway5488]

Can you do a video on the longterm food you have stored? Like what to store and where to get it? Also, the water barrels...how do you keep the water fresh?

Kimmy you're on to something---the Alfredo sauce IS being sold in smaller jars!i I just picked up my order from Wal-Mart today and my sauce was in a 16 ounce jar today and last month, for the same price it was in a 24 ounce jar! All I did was reorder from my list of favorites. Sheesh! So glad you were able to go on a road trip with your family for the Labor Day weekend before the cold front hit. It was snowing here in New Mexico too! 💗

[@cleopatra4473]

Have your husband put an ace wrap on your swollen foot. The compression will help to reduce the swelling. Ice for the first 48 hours from an injury, then apply moist heat. Ibuprofen will help reduce swelling plus help with pain. Hope you feel better. When traveling, keep it wrapped or wear a compression hose on that leg.

My knee got cut badly and my entire right leg from my knee down was absolutely drenched in blood.
