First Beach Trip Of The Year! Prep, Trader Joes Haul, Dinner, Beach House Tour & So Much More!

Hey party people! Thanks so much for hanging out with me while I share with you this new vlog! This was our first family beach trip of the year and I was pumped! You guys know I love the beach and we are lucky enough to live pretty close to beaches... because... Florida living. lol So I shared what I packed for the beach, and how I prepped dinner so dinner would be ready for us when we got home! Great way to save money, eating out can get expensive FAST, especially for a large family. I also share a trader joes haul and all of the new goodies I got from trader Joe! I also shared a reel of all of the new summer things I found at Trader Joes so check that out if you're interested!! And I share a beach house tour... beach timeshare? idk what to call it. lol It's a massive rental space.. kind of rental - it's a timeshare!! haha idk you can also book rooms there.. but We were looking into getting a timeshare so I brought you along the tour, and we were so impressed! Yes the room is outdated and gives off some 80's vibes but that style is making a comeback... lol
Best,
Kim!

I just have to say, I love how kind you are. Watching the groceries haul, and I know you have mentioned before that your neighbor doesn’t do rice, and the fact you go out of your way to make sure you are stocked in something that they can eat is truly so amazing. ❤️ I’m sure they appreciate the extra thought you put in for them!

Most toasters open up at the bottom so you can clean it. You could try & see if yours opens at the bottom to get that toy out! Good luck I hope it helps you!

Yea. A crumb tray! That’s what I was gonna say. 😂

I’m watching this from a timeshare in the mountains. We love coming here. Make most of our meals and even use the laundry. A luxury to have clean towels everyday for our swims. We have 40 + years of experience thanks to grandparents. Kids learned to ski and swim here. Enjoy your beach weeks!!!!

[@baddkatt9223]

Congrats on the time share, so happy for you and your family! Alex!!!! What a hoot, love a man with a fun sense of humor! Great hubby & father. Love that you talk to us like a family video-thanx woman you so rock these!

[@MomNTraining]

My parents have a timeshare through Holiday Inn resorts and they love it. Yes, sometimes they can’t get the resort they want, but it’s worth it! They’ve taken all 6 kids and grandkids sometimes even when they save up a couple of years. We just had a giant family vacation to Orlando last summer. Your whole family will love it!!!

[@patriciahusk3428]

I’m truly excited for you guys…what a great gift for the family to enjoy during the summer (every year)! I really enjoyed your Trader Joe’s haul….haven’t been there in forever! Kim, you are glowing🥰! Glad you all had a fun day at the beach🏖🏖🏖🏖!

My family has had timeshares before I even existed. They are so much fun. Obviously it’s important to do research and read the fine line on all paper work. You guys obviously have experience and know what you’re doing. I can’t wait to see the beach video. They are some of my fav. 💕💕💕

[@normalopezingle7732]

We have a time share in Orlando Westgate Lakes spa. I think in the beginning we were so annoyed. Every time we went they would hassle us to buy more time. Finally they got the hint we have been an owner since 1995 and its 10 minutes from Disney and like 5 from sea world. Absolutely the best memories EVER!! It by far has been worth it to us now. We actually just got back from our week and this time took our grand daughter, our daughter and her husband. We had a FANTASTIC time. It was worth it to us :)

[@jessicaarmstrong782]

These are my absolute favorite videos. You are so fun! 🥰

Congrats on the time share, it's lovely. I love it when Alex does his posing behind you. You got a great tan down at the beach and you look wonderful. As always, I enjoyed seeing what you all were up to over the holiday weekend. It looked like so much fun. I have never been in a Trader Joe store. Maybe one day...who knows. 🤗🤗😘

Exited for your time share! That place is huge. And so close to the water. What a wonderful choice.

[@gardendreamer9117]

How exciting, you have a beach house. 🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗 My parents bought into a timeshare about 30 yrs ago in Del Ma, California (by the race track, but close to the beach). My sister bought it from my mom after my dad passed & my sis has since purchased 3 other timeshares at the same location/same condo too). She loves the beach so now gets to go once every quarter, beach, horse races, & San Diego fair & she has so much fun. It makes her happy & I know yours will make you, Alex & your kids happy as well.

[@lindsayjordan4161]

So glad y'all got the timeshare! What a fun extravaganza to look forward to. I don't know if my family and I will make it to the beach this year. It's a drive from TN and with these gas prices too, ughh!

[@courtneygilmore9771]

I've only ever heard scary things about time shares but it looks amazing! Maybe you should do a Q/A about it!

[@judydunker3312]

Good job! We have owned our Wyndham time share for 20 years now and NEVER regret getting it!! We’ve been all over the country and a trip to Europe which we would never have been able to afford otherwise! Enjoy your time share! Excited for you abs your family!!

[@aimee2234]

What a way to wake up! A Wads beach day extravaganza. Kids having a blast, the smell of the sea and toes in the sand make for a fantabulous day! Kudos to Alex for being buried in sand and the muscle man posing was Schwarzenegger style a rose by any other name, right? Thanks for the laughs, joy and always bringing a ton of happy to us party people. Stay hydrated and shine like the star you are, Kim! xoxo

[@brilliantbutblue]

You are such a beautiful person Aimee thanks for always posting a lovely comment. Have a happy day my friend 🥰

[@3geesplay236]

My parents have had their time share for like 20 years and we all looove it! That’s how my husband and I were able to go on our honeymoon.

[@adriankaritorres7301]

Love love love your videos! Thanks for sharing your TJ haul. The Blue corn taco shells are fun for the kiddos but you MUST toast them in the oven or air fryer otherwise they are very stale.

[@rebeccarendle3706]

When we are at my parents who live at the beach, we keep a beach bag "ready to go"... We strip off.. Wash swimming costumes +/- towels, hang up to dry and then the next day just take down and throw in beach bag/or put on. Cooler just gets cleaned and ready to reload...it's ' like having a nappy bag always ready.. So it is quick to go. Time share looks good. My parents in law have one... All their kids (+ families) use it.. It's great. But their time share has hotels everywhere so we can use any of them in different places and countries... So we use some hotels for winter skiing and some for summer beach holidays. Enjoy yours😊.

[@alissaschilling9721]

There should be a crumb catcher in the bottom of your toaster that you can open. I've had some toasters that have a bottom that can be pried open like battery packs or require being unscrewed. There's got to be a way to take it apart and get the toy out. Good luck Kim, children are a blessing.

[@SharaLee60]

Hi Kim, looks like you all are having a blast 😀!!! You look great in all your swimsuits & cover ups with the little bump! Glad you all had fun even when hosting. Your amazing lady!!! ❤️🤗🎉

So excited for you and your new home on the water , pregnancy and time share. You are so beautiful and Adorable . Just so you know, …..you do put happy in our days. You are a great friend… maybe a little one sided!!!!!LOL but I feel like you give so much to us. Love all your shopping and cooking. I love the same things you love. Every time you go to goodwill I always am interested in the same things… including bright colored corny items!!! I think it is fabulous that you got the time share. My family grew up going to The cabin on the lake in Maine.?So many memories and so much fun.. water skiing, tubing, jumping off rope swing on island. Grinders at the head of the lake through cove with lily pads, swimming to Bean island. My dad built the cabin and it had hard wood floors etc. We were not ruffing it. We would listen to the loons on the lake at night. We had so much fun with friends and family. My sister has ten kids. I am Auntie Kim to your kids too!!!!! I adore little ones. Thanks for sharing recipes. Tell your honey thanks for helping so much with the kids during videos etc. What a big kid !!!

[@joiviolette5978]

Cool beans Kim, Welcome to Timeshare living! My folks have a timeshare. In North Myrtle beach! Had it since 85! 🤣 It's a studio so it's small especially when all 5 of us are together. Like you said, we make it work. The last few times our kiddos haven't come with ( they are teens so doing thier own thing) We go mid April every yr! It's great. Ocean views for days! 🏝 I am missing the beach and really want to go for a few days now but know those prices are astronomical! 🏝🎉💖

[@joyceprice6749]

I haven't been to the beach in years. I really need to go. It looked so nice. Several years ago we went to look at two different time shares. One was an apartment type the other a camping type with horse trails and fishing. You could trade vacation with people all over the USA. At the time we had horses and went horseback riding all the time but now we're older we have one older horse left. Since we went on different type vacations we decided against it. I think it's a good money saver the way Alex is doing it. Glad you guys had fun. I'll have to try your pork recipe. Take care. ❤️

[@michellebryant1395]

Iam from Australia and purchased a timeshare for 1 week 30 years ago! We purchased it in the gold coast australia as we live in Sydney and well my kids love it they have grown up there !

Since I’m in Washington state, the Evergreen state aka tons of rain, I’m always jealous of your weather!! I can’t believe you’re already at the beach!! It’s been raining here until the last couple days when it’s been in the mid 70’s, a heatwave this early!!! Btw I have the same sunscreen for the few days it’s necessary here, especially since I’m pasty white. Otherwise I end up burning to the point of a red lobster, then I peel, and go back to pasty white!! I haven’t actually gotten a sun tan since I was a teenager!!
