Getting Ready For A Gathering! Food Prep, Cleaning, & The Chaos. Let's Get It Done!

Hey party people! Thanks so much for hanging out with me while I share this new around the house happenings style vlog with you! I got some food prepped for a little gathering we were hosting, and then I got to tidying / cleaning the house a bit! It was a nice semi- relaxing day and pretty low key but I wanted to put some trays together because get togethers are always better when there is food involved!
Best,
Kim!

Looking for a man that looks at me like Wolfgang looks at Kim.

[@brilliantbutblue]

If you find one, can we share 😉

Well when you find one can you ask if he has a brother 😂

[@deewillson2757]

Have you tried getting a puppy??

[@lydiaerickson3731]

@@deewillson2757 I have two kittens and they’re the best but they only look at me like that when I feed them 😂

[@laurarodewald2276]

At 75,I could only dream of having a 10th of your energy! It always amazes me,of all the things you can get accomplished. Only two of us left in our house now, and all I manage to do is pick up the house, throw a load in, watch you cook and clean and throw in a frozen.😂 YOU HAVE A BEAUTIFUL FAMILY! YOU ARE DOING AN AWESOME JOB! Keep making those SPECIAL MEMORIES ❤️

[@kscott5498]

Wolfgang is so dang adorable!! He is so precious looking at his Mama while she's talking, at one point at the beginning it looks like he waves at the camera! As always loved the video Kim, great way to start the morning!!🥰❤️😍

[@luciekimotho5054]

I saw the wave as well, so dang adorable!

[@terrimccullough724]

Hes trying to figure out "is she talking to me?"

[@slapstickdome9797]

@@terrimccullough724 That is always my thought….Who is she talking too? and looks at the camera and back at her 😂🤣

i thought wolfgang was mimicking mama’s hand gestures! he has such gorgeous eyes and adoringly watches his mama😍🥰

The way Wolfgang looks at her 🥰

[@Jgiu8909]

It is the cutest thing how Wolfgang looks at you. He's also probably thinking 'Who the heck are you talking to mom?' LOL

[@brilliantbutblue]

Wishing all the Party People a very happy Easter as we celebrate the reason for the season. "He is risen" 🙏

[@aimee2234]

Amen... Happy Easter right back to you! ❤

[@MrsAlmaTrumble]

Amen. Happy Easter from your Southwest Tennessee friend.

[@jeanhecker4533]

Wolfgang looks exactly like Wentworth. Just thinking that I started watching you when Meredith was in your arms reaching for everything you were cooking. You are the party queen. All that prep and cleanup before you joined the party. All that and nursing your baby to sleep in your arms. And now your cleaning a toilet while he sleeps. I love it. ❤😊

[@thewadsquad]

Thanks for hanging out for so long!!! He is basically a twin to baby Wentworth!! It’s so crazy looking back at old photos!!

[@tamiwein7626]

I was going to say the same thing. What gorgeous children!!

[@saltycat662]

Yes, Wentworth and Wolfgang look like Kim. Meredith looks a little more like her daddy. Adorable kiddos.

[@beloved7908]

I just love Wolfgang....mesmerized by his mommy....those sweet little worshiping eyes. What a darling! 🥰

[@AtHomeWithMackenzie]

Speaking of April Fool's, last year I got a leek vegetable and put it in the shower and told my fiancée that there was a "leak" in the shower...he didn't get it or think it was funny 🤦‍♀️ I thought it was lol.

[@thewadsquad]

Omg he didn’t get it!!!!! 😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@alexandriaa8431]

The best thing to do during nap time: a new Kim video 🎉

[@lcschaechtele1982]

Kim, when I was young, my granny always made 3 different types of potato salad for gatherings, and it was passed down to me to do the same fore family gatherings and also I made homemade cheesecake for all the gatherings and those were always the things that went first! I always made bbq ribs too. So, for me gatherings were always chaos for me but everyone always left full and happy! I miss those days. I’m disabled now and I don’t host much anymore. I do love watching you cook! And Wolfgang is absolutely gorgeous!!

[@danabradshaw762]

Kim, a little tip. To avoid foaming when boiling anything add about 1/2 a teaspoon of butter (not margarine) to the water and it want boil over.

[@rachelbruce3284]

The way Wolfgang looks at you when you are talking is so funny and adorable 😊

[@priscillanightingale8215]

THANK YOU KIM FOR ALL THAT YOU DO❤🎉

[@waterbuckethomestead]

For hard-boiled eggs, I put eggs in a pot, bring to a boil & boil for 12-15 minutes, or until I see an egg crack. Drain water & run cold water on eggs to cool down. Every time, I get fully cooked & easy to peel hard-boiled eggs.

[@ShirlBussman]

Happy Easter to all your fans, you & yours. 🤗🤗🥰🥰💗💗💯💯

For hard boiled eggs fill a pot with cold water add eggs and boil the water. Turn off heat cover an let sit for 13 to16minutes,then put in cold ice water. Eggs should be perfect and easy to peel.

You deserve to have a happy Thursday. So go out there into your world and make it real through your actions, grace and faith.

Wolfgang has your full attention. He is a doll!! I love lavender and cedarwood together in the diffuser. That is my fave!! And it promotes relaxation.

[@piggylicous1]

Your get togethers must be a blast! I mean the food alone is show stopping and your so funny. I love your vidoes, they really inspire me, I have a 2year old and one on the way and I definitely need motivation to cook.

[@kimberlyprice2]

I am always impressed with the energy that you bring to these vlogs! Girl! I do not expect you to "have your life together until Wolfgang is 5 years old. Give yourself a lot of grace every day. Your family is so blessed to have a mama who knows how to cook good meals, does her best to keep your home clean, and loves not only them but so many guests in their home. Thank you so much for the inspiration!

Good morning and thanks for the motivation

[@kathleenhawkins4083]

Will definitely make these recipes :) I always think this but you are the sweetest momma :) The house thing is so true and when i go to other peoples i appreciate the host efforts.. because i know it's work lol but i honestly don't care. I think everyone feels good when things are tidy and clean but it is a TON of work and gets undone every day... so my goal for now is to do enough that if someone popped in i don't stress out lol but not spend all my time off working on a losing battle.

[@jojoply]

I put sweet pickle cubes in my potato salad or sweet relish. Peace and calming is my #1 favorite from young living.

[@strawberrycherrybaby]

Two days in a row? Kim you spoil us ❤ I’m a mom with adhd and your videos really help to keep me motivated and engaged while I’m cleaning or doing house chores. I do ‘body doubling’ which is basically watching videos of people clean or cook, so I am reminded of what I’m doing and stay on track.

Bonjour Kim. The fruits salad is such a nice idea. And love the potatoes one too (call it piémontaise in this side of the world) bonne journée

I know you said not to talk Instapot but my boiled eggs come out perfect every time. I know some people aren’t fans of the Instapot but I use it at least twice a week. It’s been a game changer for a working woman. I have been able to get hot meals on the table in a snap. By the way, Wolfgang is freaking adorable!♥️ Happy Easter!
