Getting Some Stuff Situated! Meal Plan, Mall Trip, Food, Cleaning, Organizing Mom Life, Homemaking

[@ssdunlap31211]

You don’t give yourself enough credit! You love your kids so much, that is evident in your cooking and shopping and housekeeping! You also open your home to their friends and that is amazing! My parents were the same way and my friends loved coming over becasue my parents were married (which was not common at my school) and my parents were involved! You’re doing awesome! If we lived closer, I would want to be your hang out friend lol

[@laurahorn254]

Girl, you move so much (just cleaning that kitchen) and FIVE kids and a house full of guests every other day and food shopping and cleaning after a family of SEVEN and doing laundry for a family of SEVEN ... must I keep with the "ands" ... you do NOT need to add tracking "macros" to your MORE than busy day!!! As one of your grandma aged fans, I can tell you I LITERALLY spend at least 5-6 hours EVERY day tracking "macros" for just me and my hubby. Just keep being your absolutely AMAZING WONDERFUL self loving your family and putting smiles in all of our days!!! There's quite a slew of us who LOVE you and your channel. Keep being YOU ... the world needs more of you ... just as you are!!!

[@joyindrelie6715]

I love the way you said "ink costs more than blood" then RAN to go get your printed page. You're so fun!

Kim you are a great mom. Never doubt yourself you are going through a season which will pass. Enjoying your children and building a relationship is so necessary as time goes by so fast.

Good morning! Woke up to a layer of snow, so seeing Kim in the sun makes my heart happy. Thanks for putting a little happy in my day today! ETA: I have also found papers in my son's bookbag months after he got them. We can't always have it all together. I love that you emphasize just doing your best. It's all any of us can do, and that is good enough 🤗

[@thewadsquad]

Amen! That’s all I can do for sure!! And snow! Hope you’re staying warm! We’ve got a little chill in the air this morning in FLA too!

We have snow too. I think we’re 5 and a half months into a 6 month winter. I’m sick of it. My summer clothes miss me

[@eiferdoodle]

I now use the dash mini waffle maker to cook my eggs! Just spray with Pam spray, Crack the egg, salt, pepper, close the lid and bam, you've got a fully cooked round egg

[@mrsducky3428]

Being a working mom, for meal planning, one day a week is set aside for cooking meat. Some goes in the crock pot, some in the oven, ground beef crumbles & onion sauteed, bacon etc... Cook enough meat for the entire week. & Boil eggs for the week as well. Then everything goes in the fridge. No matter what the meal, the meat portion is done, & most meals are "one pot" , basically casseroles, but mostly cooked on the stove top. Sides can be cooked fresh. Then at the end of the week, all small serving leftovers are put out on the counter and everyone get to choose what they want, like a buffet. More recent, since the kids moved out, started using sous vide. Pack mason jars full of meat & liquid, sous vide with the canning lids on, cool slightly then refrigerate. The meat lasts way longer than one week stored that way.

[@thereseallen6132]

Oh my goodness can we just talk about how cute Wolfgang is and how he should totally be in a kiwi crate commercial ❤❤❤ that smile 😫 so cute.

[@suesmith5033]

I collect and use the old old church cookbooks. The recpes are the best because of course your not going to put a yucky recipe in it for everyone to see. Lol. Seriously really good recipes. My boys are 34 and 30 and they still say Mom, cook us a new salad or meal recipe or cookie. They are both excellent cooks. Hope everything is good health wise Kim. Do something that makes your heart smile!

[@xannellenortje1882]

Wooooohooooo. My dose of Kim. Alway putting a little happy in my day.

[@Nickelberrynsc]

Cereal suggestion: Take the bags out of the cereal boxes and use clothes pins to seal them. You can see what it is through the bag or write on it. Store them in a bin. Takes WAY less space.

[@sydneyc8006]

I usually don't comment, but when you said untidy Joseph, I lost it!!😂 I have to use that from now on. You are such a great mom, and I just look up to you so much. I rewatch your videos way too much and get so excited when a new one pops up. I'm a single young mom with an almost 2 year old, and it is so rough, but it's so worth it! I have learned so much from you, from cooking to discovering new goals on how I want to build my life. You are definitely my woman across the room. So, thank you, and remember that you're the perfect mom for your kids.

[@sandrasfamilycooks4629]

This great grandma loves spending time with Kim. Such a hoot.

[@mariaTsounakis1521]

I meal plan every week! I also batch cook twice a month for those days that I don’t feel like cooking/ prep lunch meals usually some type of veggie soup! I love trying new recipes and I relate to your enthusiasm to meal plan and try new recipes. I also enjoy when you cook because You always cook scrumptious recipes! You don’t need a mommy handbook. Your beautiful kids are a refection of you and Alex’s great parenting!! Meredith is so precious….loving that the 🌺 match her dress! Love it! Hugs💕

I have been making smoothies to change up my breakfast. I do some frozen mixed berries, frozen banana, a heaping amount of peanut butter and some creamy chocolate slim fast that I have. I make a big batch up, then put it in red solo cups with a little bit of press and seal on the top. Pop them in the freezer and at night I put one in the fridge to thaw out so it is ready the next morning. Yum!

Hi Kim, good to see you this morning to put a little happy in our day. My mom used to crush cornflakes and add her own seasoning and coat and fry chicken with it. It was delicious. Wolfgang is so adorable. He was happy with his box of goodies. He's such an intelligent baby. He knew he was included in the family boxes. Have a good day Wads family. 🦩💖🦩

[@strawberrycherrybaby]

Another good idea is crusted French toast! My mom did it with cornflakes too 😊 it’s also a nice topping for ice cream if you like crunch

[@jylfearn4840]

Thanks Kim! You’re our favorite KZbinr!! So for meal planning we do a 4 week rotation for meal planning (but they’re always in these categories : meaty Monday, taco Tuesday (all Mexican), around the world Wed, Throwback Thursday, fun Friday, Sandwich Sat, and soup or Sun supper) I like just choosing from my main list and then I don’t have to stress. ❤

[@playcolumbus2413]

Maybe when you get your office space after the addition is done, you can have a nice bookshelf for all of your cookbooks to be out and visible and used more. The upstairs media room would also be great as a dual purpose reading room/media room. You could put knee high shelving across the wall where the desks currently are and fill it with all the kids' books. It's already cozy for a reading space with the couch and blankets.

Hi Kim! I make egg English muffins. Toast the English muffins, then put a little mayonnaise on them. Scramble eggs and put some in custard cups and pop in microwave. Don’t forget to spray the little custard cups ( or just use 1 over and over) with non stick spray. Some I top with bacon and others I make with a sausage patty. Wrap and freeze. *****I know you lived in Italy when Alex was stationed there. I live in Germany (near Ramstein). Austria is always nice to visit but my all time favorite country is England!
