Main Character Energy Clean With Me! Whole House Cleaning Motivation! Let's Do This

[@gracemeier7713]

I am in my 70s. My house is quiet and does not demand much from me. As I watch younger women with children I enjoy the memories it stirs. I have found happiness in each stage of my life. My family has grown up but has not left us alone. The love we share with our grown children and our grand kids is our greatest wealth. It will be different when they are adults but it will still be wonderful.

[@annielu9078]

Well said, I am at the same place in life and now we travel and spoil the grand kids!

[@jeanhecker4533]

I feel as you do. I am 83 and a widow but I still enjoy Kim and her family and her never-give-up spirit.

[@Gidget13mwa]

Same here!

[@RENbby]

Such a blessing!!

[@D_Ri4931]

Ditto! ❤

[@lindamartin7580]

I saw this on a church sign once and it hit home…You’ll quit worrying about what people think about you, when you realize how seldom they do. Live your life! Great vlog! Blessings, Miss Linda 💕💕💕

[@thewadsquad]

Amen to that! No one cares!!! 👏🏻 🎉❤

[@MrsAlmaTrumble]

We're all blessed; let's count our blessings, not our struggles. Have a wonderfully blessed day ahead!

[@LindaFoyle]

Thank you for the reminder❤

[@MrsAlmaTrumble]

​@LindaFoyle my pleasure, sweet friend. Hope you're doing well.

[@catherineb5066]

Bless you for this as I struggle to pack up a house and trying to take care of my bedbound hubby with a healing severe sprained wrist and dislocated thumb.I am blessed.U have so many wise words.Thank you Mrs.T💝

[@catherineb5066]

Bless you Mrs T for this. Im struggling to pack up a house and trying to take care of my bedbound hubby with a healing severe sprained wrist & dislocated thumb.I am so blessed & excited about the next chapter

[@thewadsquad]

Amen to that!

[@authenticallyamber99]

As a mom of kids who are 35, 26 and 24, I can tell you that the years are sometimes long but fly by! When the kids are little, they require a lot of physical energy and as they grow, it becomes more mental energy. I absolutely loved raising our children but I can’t say I miss them being little. They are amazing adults who make me proud every day! And now I get to be a Grammie to two little, precious boys! I watch them and get to be an integral part of their lives, which I wouldn’t trade for the world! Life is ever changing but in good ways. ♥️

[@kaydublin5164]

Some days I miss the crazy, I wish I had enjoyed my youth and son more, I envy you and all your children. ❤

[@donnitacoble3952]

Nobody cares

[@elizabethb913]

Maybe its because I'm such a homebody myself, but cleaning and around the house happenings (with rad 80s music!) are my absolute favorite episodes!

[@f8thfulmom]

I’m 10:37min into your video and I had to stop before you fully read the next reel. I’m here at 53 feeling like yesterday I was 35. Our last child is 19, we homeschooled all three of them. Well, really I did the homeschooling and my hubby worked. He gave me a watch when our first child graduated like a nod from when company’s gave their employees when they retired. But since we had two more to graduate he got me a watch that has the background of a composition book with an apple and pencil. I loved it so much! Now our eldest is about to turn 30 in May. I do remember never sitting or being still. I am also a perfectionist and kept our house like Monica, lead a group of 27 other homeschool moms in a support group, had kids in sports, etc while I was dealing what was thought to be MS. Later it was discovered that I have a mitochondrial disease, which is where energy is. So it’s like living with unbelievable exhaustion and pain. Think of it like having something electrical that is not plugged in. But I was going nonstop and around 3x/yr I’d be hospitalized for a week. When our almost 9 year old second son started showing symptoms like me I was very scared he also had MS. He was admitted to a Children’s Hospital and they were able to discover he had a mitochondrial disease (easy to look up Mitochondrial disease to understand. The neurologist suggested that we have our other children tested. Yep, they had it,too. Then I asked my doctor to test me and that’s when they discovered that I did not have MS but the Mito disease. But we pushed forward in all of life, just now adding not only myself in and out of doctors but now our 3 kiddos. Now at 53, it’s real hard being at midlife. Nobody talks about women having midlife crisis (at least no one told us Gen X). It’s beautiful and amazing to still be madly in love with my high school sweetheart as we approach our 33rd anniversary! But I do look back and think, wow! That went by quickly. I see young mommas walking around and see my younger self. As parenting goes from those younger years when you’re welding like a chicken with its head cut off and yes, exhausted,yet happy and all that you feel when your kids are younger. But my goodness the world has gone mad and as parents there is soooo much that your generation has to have your head on a swivel because there is sooo much out there ready to devour kids. So keep fighting the good fight, keep enjoying them in sports and all the great things!! But also get ready because three level chess is coming. My two boys are 8 & 10 years older than our daughter and whoa did the world drastically change just between that age gap. Work hard to keep your marriage first! Go out on date nights, take small trips alone together even while kids are younger, go on Mom’s night out with other moms ( NOt moms gone wild. LOL but in the manner of iron sharpens iron), that time fostering good friendships with other good women is great for you. You then have MORE to give your kids. It’s just wild to me to be at the point of our youngest 19, seeing a couple grey hairs on my head, yada yada yada! It’s like that Trace Atkins song called You’re Gonna Miss Thiis. Love ya Kim! Hope this offered something to another woman between young momma and midlife momma! I think I forgot to mention how stinking proud I am of my children and what an enjoyment it is seeing them at ages that my hubby and I were. God is good and life is good! 👍

[@thewadsquad]

Woop!! So glad you like them!!

[@dawnsher2558]

I’m 49, my son is 29 and I miss the sounds of Maaaaaaam I’m hungryyyy lol So I babysit littles so i get a dose :)

[@glendarobinette5360]

I love your thoughts exactly about family. I always remembered the saying (don’t know author): Cleaning & Scrubbing can wait til tomorrow For babies grow up we learn to our sorrow So quiet down cobwebs, dust go to sleep I’m rocking my babies and babies don’t keep.

[@jenjim1999]

I am 55 and a grandma of 3 boys and mom of 6. My house is always clean but it's quiet. The kids have all grown up and have begun their new lives and are happy and independent ( this was the goal). They are busy now but they still make time for us and they all the most interesting people I know. Do I miss it when they were little? YES but if I keep pining for those days I will miss the ones I am living in right now

[@penit1606]

First of all, Kim & Alex, you are doing FANTASTIC! & SHAME! SHAME! SHAME! on those who give negative comments!! You help me some days!! I think your house is PERFECT!! It is the happiest place on earth for your kiddos 💕 💗 💖

[@thewadsquad]

Thank you so so much for saying this! You're a true friend! Thanks for being around!

[@wallashakalla]

One of my favorite memories is holding my 3 year old granddaughter’s hand on a walk. I told her a silly story that my dad told me. We were both giggling so much we were almost in tears. I know my dad was all around us in that moment. My heart was so full in that moment.

[@kathleencasella4703]

I’m recovering from surgery and your videos really uplift me. This is my second cancer surgery since October. God bless you and your beautiful family. You do you. Enjoy all the time with your babies. My babies are now 46, 45 and 30 and my grandkids are 20, 16, 15, 13 and 12. It’s time spent with them that’s important. 😊❤. You are a great example.

[@loribrocato145]

Kimberly I'm crying my eyes out now. Thank you for sharing those beautiful words. I cherish my children and it still goes by too quickly. My youngest is a Sr in high school. Thank you for sharing how much you appreciate your children and this season of life with them. There IS still good in the world.

[@rebekah3483]

Currently at 393,000 and trying to get to 1,000,000 by the end of the month, Byeeee! You're seriously something else girl! Lol! 😂❤ You should definitely have a million subs as fun and relatable as you are!

[@thewadsquad]

😂 it’s my new favorite joke

[@christinatores2249]

Oh my goodness!!! 😭😭😭😭 “Words of Emma” poem! Thank you for sharing Kim! I’m currently cleaning my dishes, while my babies have their nap and I absolutely love this message and it’s so true! The dishes will forever be here but these precious moments are absolutely fleeting! Now excuse me while I go cuddle on the couch and wait for my babies to wake up and say, “hi mama” 🥹😭😭

[@thewadsquad]

It’s so complex!! But we all do our best!! 🎉❤❤

[@nicolemathieu2016]

As a momma of 3 grown kids now; my youngest daughter has moved out, I got all the feels as you read those reels. My husband and I are in our early 50's and just beginning to discover empty nesting. As we are grandparents of a 2 , a 7 month and a 6 month old now I find myself missing my kids younger years even more. ❤

[@isabelwall1714]

😢

[@crystalpolice]

Dang it, Kim. You got me crying over here. 😭 I already miss the daily naps on me and the baby smell and the baby curls and even that little pool of drool spreading on my shoulder as they slumber on their safe space. ❤

[@HillabillyHippie]

Kim, I don’t have kids or a family,(I’m just an auntie) but that poem was amazing . So much of what you do and say and live applies to many of us. Sometimes I live vicariously through you, but mostly I love your upbeat personality and adore how you and your beautiful family works. You are truly amazing and even those of us who can barely relate to your life still feel connected to YOU and your life ☺️

[@ntfhomestead8651]

I really appreciate that these cleaning motivation videos of yours come out bright and early! Just what i need

[@LyndaHarris-k5x]

Hi Kim, I am so glad you love the Twilight series. I love it too, in fact I am in love with Edward Cullen, AHHH and I am a73 years young. The books are great too

[@annmariemitchell2532]

I hear every word you say about time flying, I feel as if I just took my oldest to start school now he’s 41 this year. I’m sat here with his baby boy who isn’t feeling very well and had everyone up all night so he’s going to get checked. We are empty nesters with 3 adults gone, buuutttt I now have 11 grandkids who are here every day in 2’s and 3’s. Just know that when your time comes you will experience a love you never knew you could feel for anyone but your kids but grandkids are the cherry on the cake xx

[@AJ-ep6pv]

Im listening to this while I clean, and then I will sit down and watch it while I recover!! 😀 You're the best Kim, please start a podcast! Love your office 😍

[@thewadsquad]

Haha maybe one day!!

[@mchristner1]

That poem teared me up. No spring break plans. Just time with the kids

[@mrspickle8285]

You really are such motivation for all of us... I think when the person said 'what do you want for tea' they didnt mean the drink they meant dinner.... In Australia we can call dinner 'tea' thanks for everything you share, its a joy!

[@Chelbsn]

Those readings hit my heart hard today.... My kids are in their 20s now and what I would give to have just one more day when I was their favorite person. My youngest is talking about moving out soon and my nest will be empty. I know that's how it's supposed to happen but my Mama heart is aching

[@3geesplay236]

Omg, Kim, the video just started and you’re already making me cry! My oldest just turned 13 on Tuesday and it was a bitter/sweet day. I took her to the mall to get the purple Converse high tops she wanted from Journeys and I was tearing up on the drive remembering how I took her to the same mall to get her first pair of shoes from Stride Right😩 Also, “ tea” is what people in some parts of England call the evening meal.

[@Sheli-_-]

Wow, this video with the meme’s hit right in the feels. All I can say is the joy of being a grandparent is magical and I’m so grateful to be in that phase of life. Grand baby number 3 will be here in June. 💙💙❤️

[@teubank7357]

Girl I loveeee your cleaning videos. I get so much done and it triggers my brain to think of new things to do. I'm soooo jealous of your changing pad. I know you got it on Market Place or somewhere for a great deal I think. I wish you lived closer because I know you're not going to need it much longer. Ever since you got it I've replaced mine twice. The regular pads just don't last in family child care. UGH!! I want to thank you for today's video because I got two huge bags for Goodwill. Yahoo... Less to manage. lol Hope you all have a great weekend!! Thanks again for all you do. You really are such an inspiration!!

[@melissajimenez6011]

Why do you want to make me cry 😢 I’ve had my fourth, my last at 41. I have a 23, 20, 11, and 2 1/2. I cherish this time because I see how time flies so fast

[@brandiparis5411]

That statement is sooo true! I’m an empty nester now and it’s truly depressing. I don’t know what to do…I’m 44 and have had one of my boys with me everyday since I was 18 years old! 💚I really wish I had enjoyed all the things as they happened instead of wishing them away..like I wish they were old enough to get their own snack or old enough to help me clean or drive or whatever. I wish I had a Time Machine 😢

[@penelopepitstop4440]

It's so very true about you miss the chaos and the lively house. I am now 55 and my kids are 35 and 29 I miss those day's because it's too freaking quiet here lol!

[@shelleycurtis2803]

The tea part of that saying is what us Brits say. You say dinner alot of us here say what's for tea!? I live on my own I'm a single parent so it's been quiet here for many years now. My grandkids range from 2-14. So it's nice when they visit. 🥰

[@joseluiscastillo6170]

I think you should make the long hallway in the addition a gallery wall with all your extra paintings, perhaps pics of your kids on one side and artwork on the other side.

[@garmonet2]

Thanks for the company! I had to speed clean my house today and this was just the inspiration i needed to get the job done fast ❤

[@rochelleb973]

I actually enjoy my kids being grown and independent. I love my grands visiting. But, I also enjoy my clean and quiet house, and my freedom to just be me 😊

[@angeljennrodstell]

If you left KZbin tomorrow and this was the last time I ever saw you, I'd remember you as the hilarious, whisk-loving, kind, energetic, lift-others-up person that so many people strive to be. You're a gem and I hope you hear that enough :)

[@eileenhoffmann2422]

Kim, my husband and I became empty nesters in August when our youngest left for college.WE LOVE IT! Because we know that we gave parenting are all! Its our time now and honey we earned it. Yes enjoy these days but you wont be sad when they are grown and gone because you will do a excellent job now and enjoy all your hard work later when they have grown into terrific adults.

[@lanakelley2893]

Love this! I struggle with the balance between all the "chores" and spending quality time with my husband and kids. Thanks for making me feel better about my mess!

[@patriciakelly2714]

I’m exhausted watching you clean. I can’t believe that you get negative comments. You’re the most amazing mom and your kids are wonderful. You’re doing a great job along with your lovely hubby. I know what it’s like 👍 to have so much work, but you do what you can do and that includes enjoying yourself. House work is always there and that doesn’t change. A home is to live in and enjoy family and being kind to yourself is important. Thank you for your vlog, I love to watch. X

[@rachelcampbelll]

not me crying while listening to kim read these beautiful quotes while washing sippy cups😭😭 my baby turns 2 on sunday!! time please slow down!

[@3401miranda]

We are headed your way for spring break Saturday! Maybe I will see you at red white and blue!! Looking for Lilly! The best thing I have learned from raising my kids is as adults listening to them say “remember when mom did ….” And then crack Up or smile. This is what makes my life complete

[@terrykraft7241]

I have said it before and I will say it again! You are amazing! You deserve to hire a once a month deep cleaning service! Do it do it do it!

[@mrsrichter8586]

Kim, your readings have me in tears, these words about cherishing the moment and time we are in does not only apply to our children, it also applies to our parents. I lost my precious mother in December and the pain is so real. She was my best friend, not just my mother. If I could have our last day over and hold her hand and just tell her over again how much I love her and how precious she has been in my life . . . . . never take your loved ones' presence in your life for granted.

[@just4laughs910]

Kim, you would love the Harry Potter movies!! My best friend (mom of 2 boys) asked me to read the books, and go to the movies with them. I was HOOKED!! Her kids are now both out of college, and I still watch the movies when they are on tv.

[@quiltingmell]

Hi there Kim, I’m British, in my 70’s the cute little story about what do you want for “tea” is actually exactly describes myself and my husband, it really gave me pause ❤our kids are with families of their own luckily we do see them often. Just a side note. The custom of high tea originated in working class homes, where it was the main meal of the day. Amusingly, it’s usually between 4-5pm and my husband and I have Tea (dinner) ourselves we do not drink tea with our dinner, usually in the evening we’ll have tea and a biscuit. (Cookie) I so love your videos, can’t wait for the next one. You’re such a good Mommy❤😊 forgot to say thank you very much for sharing. So true they don’t remember the dishes and cleaning etc, they remember the times you played, tossed a ball, took them somewhere, movies, had their friends over. And yes, thankfully we had that revolving door and someone extra at our table. We loved it. 😊

[@cynthiastevens9509]

This video made me cry. I love watching your channel, because it feels like real life. Nothing fake or putting on a show for someone. I just relate, and its nice.

[@karenmomoftwins8847]

My twins are 23 next month. One lives with me, one doesn't. I was just crying earlier today. Talk about going fast! I cannot believe it. I am disabled now, retired early, and have difficulty with pain and movement. I watch you Kim, and I know I was the same. Crazy working full time in and out of the home. Running everywhere, divorced (even when I was married I had no help) and I didn't know. I was overwhelmed and want it back for just a short time. I can't remember a lot (no social media or digital videos) SAVOR every moment!❤❤

[@tracyhicks7933]

Kim you’re killing me today. I have four grown kids Sydney 29, Matthew 26, Trey 24 and Whitney 23. I cannot stop crying from the things you read about when your kids are little. Man do I miss them being little. Love your channel!

[@brenda3803]

You make me smile. I love how you make life funny as we all should. Thank you for your uplifting spirit.

[@wildeats_and_whimsy]

I'm so encouraged by your vlogs to live my best life now!😊...with my littles ❤. You inspire me!!

[@KathleenCanada7]

I really enjoyed watching this realistic clean instead of cleaning an already clean house. You did a great job Kim. ❤🇨🇦

[@kathykwilliams6457]

I'm incredibly impressed how well YOU DO YOU AND HOW WELL YOU CARRY ON NO MATTER WHAT OTHERS MAY SAY OR DO. YOU AND ALEX ARE DOING A FANTASTIC JOB! YOUR VIDEOS ARE MY HAPPY TIMES.

[@colleenpowers4972]

I’m 60 years old and love watching you. It brings back so many memories and although our house is quiet( which I do love) our lives are so busy in a different way. From the amount of traveling my husband and I get to do to flying across the country to watch grandchildren or flying to another part of the country to watch my sons dog for a week while him and his fiancé go to Italy. I love my life and I’m still needed by my kids just in a different way

[@kathybrooks4270]

Girl you are always working your butt off. You are so awesome. ❤❤❤❤

[@cbjones1220]

i always love your videos but this one just pulled at my heart. i only have one child- he’s the same age as your oldest. thank you for acknowledging how it goes by so fast & how it’s hard watching them grow up, but that it’s okay to struggle & think “when does it end?” i think all moms have been there. you’re my favorite for that reason- when most creators try to make their lives & homes seem perfect, you always keep it real & you’re so relateable. ❤

[@angeladianne4654]

That reminder that we can only do so much is exactly what I needed today, thank you Kim

[@jackieaudus9829]

Love the lighting fixture in your dinning room and the display cabinet too ❤

[@cre8chaos69]

Hooray! Was hoping for some Kim time this morning! My husband constantly asks me how my friend Kim in Tampa is doing. lol I am ready to put some happy in my day!

[@jenniferferreira9061]

I have 2 sons. 23&21. My oldest has moved out. I’ve been with my husband since we’re 15. This April will make 32 years together, and 26 married. I cherish the time and things I do for my son and husband. I am so proud of them and always reminisce, when they were younger. We’re so blessed. I love your voice overs, and all your advice ❤❤❤❤.

[@blueangel9968]

Kim, I hope this is not just “blah blah” to you… but, hug and kiss each other often (and I mean your husband) even when your kids are present, ‘cause when they’re gone (hopefully) you’ll still have each other. You’ll still have your friend. My husband is 64 and I’m 59 and we enjoy each other, even our little bickering which makes us laugh a lot and our children find us “funny and cute”😅. Love you guys!💕💕💕💕💕

[@nataliecruz1280]

Love that Rugrats shirt! Spring is definitely popping up and cherry blossom trees are budding in the park. 🌸 I get into the spring cleaning spirit by diffusing one of the scents like Pixie Dust by Magic Candle company. 🧚 🧹Organzing the pantry is next on the to-do list. Kinda dreading it but must be done… 😖 lol. Speaking of pantry, where did you get the bon appetit wooden sign in yours? I want to decorate my kitchen and am thinking of heading to HomeGoods this weekend.

[@jadehand5983]

Thanks Kim, I’m 18 weeks pregnant with my 3rd and now I’m sobbing at all these quotes/reels you’re reading 😭😂🥲

[@brendajohnson5837]

Hi Kim! You are correct about the word, Momma. I’m a grandma now and when my grandkids run through the door and yell…”Grandma!” I love it so much! Love, from MN, Brenda 😊

[@irispacheco3404]

Gm Kim… I can’t express how grateful I am with you for saying those important words of affirmation. I really needed to hear it. This was my struggle with my adult children & now with my granddaughter. I’m all about family. We can only do our best & make memories. I appreciate you girl. Keep inspiring me. 💪🏼🙂

[@E347-t2h]

I just adore you❤ thank you for your videos, I don’t think you know how much they help all of us

[@kerri759]

My youngest son who is now 32 told me when he was 8 that he never wanted to get any older because he loved being with me and never wanted that to change. He is such a sweet man. I miss all my sons when they were younger. I have to say they were the best days of my life. Raising children.

[@sharleneknaus3664]

Good for you Kim. I am soon to be 74 years old and wish that I had not worried so much about what someone thought of me. I always tried not to hurt anyone else's feelings. You are awesome!

[@rebeccameinzer8551]

I am 52, with mostly grown kids. Definitely living my life for me! My 2 are 17 and 19. I do miss moments of having littles, but I am enjoying this stage.

[@meganmacchiato]

Im always just doing my best too! Im so blessed to care for my children and the days are long but the years are def fast! My kiddos are already 4 and 6 and I’m always reminded to enjoy each stage and slow down❤

[@LisaH582]

Alex is hilarious! At about 38:00 or a little after when you were cleaning your bedroom, he came in the room briefly and did a flex muscle thing and I rewound it just to watch it again! I wish you would have him on your channel more.

[@b.burgess1294]

I love your commentary....enjoy you just talking about life and things that interest you vs narrating what you are doing the whole time.

[@dwynn57]

loved the vid! I so remember wanting to have my house clean! but I also remember the joy that my kids would have when they made forts out my couch cushions and sheets! not mention the kitchen chairs being pulled into the livingroom so they could expand the fort! Their dad was not a fan, but it kept them occupied so that I could, you know, fix them something to eat without them under my feet! those days are over and I know that my oldest, who is the only one of my kids that have children let his daugther to do the same thing! so, memories! thanks for sharing! xoxo

[@mariasullivan7136]

Kimmmm 😭😭😭 my 33 week pregnant self with number 5 … I just cannot! And needed this reminder. Thank you ♥️🥰😭

[@kimthomson3761]

This reel that u shared made me cry, especially the poem by Emma. I'm an empty nester with 8 grandchildren. That poem made me miss when my kids were young. There is a saying I've seen on Instagram that basically says we love being grandparents and we adore our grandchildren because they are an image of their parent, ur child whom u love.

[@naomiwillis9323]

My babies are 4,5 and 8.. you are killing me Kim!! Thank you so much for being so relatable and understanding

[@shirleydunn8050]

In this part of England we call our evening meal “tea.” I got your “Beautiful Boards” book in TK Maxx over here. It’s so lovely. Thought your English viewers might be interested.

[@angeljennrodstell]

OMG KIM STOP MAKING ME CRY WITH THESE REELS AND MEMES! 😭

[@tarasimpkins7381]

Cheese and Rice I don't think I have cried so much in any of your videos. All the feels

[@lindamizerak3406]

I was seeing the games around your house and remembered I bought scrabble Monopoly duos they took the best of each game and what fun my friends and I had with it. So great. Loved it. Love you and your family.

[@heathermaiden587]

Only my two kiddos that attend online school got a spring break, I’ve been spending it trying to deep clean few areas of my home as well

[@lyssamcknight166]

Hey Kim, I loved the motherhood poem 😭 thank you so much for sharing it with us! I really needed that today! Love from Michigan ❤️❤️

[@angelaturner8722]

Beautiful poem, Kim. Wonder if I could get a copy and send it to my daughter...she has two little ones. I am so glad you are patient with the house being messy sometimes. That is wonderful because that means everyone is living in the house and not just passing through. It is a house that's loved.

[@breannarachael]

Such a wonderful video, full of not only cleaning but real thoughts! I think so many of us needed that and can totally relate! Thank you for always sharing your kind words. To add to the inspiration in the comments, “The grass isn’t greener on the other side, the grass is greener where you water it.”

[@samy141]

Gosh I’m crying😭😭😭 I am exhausted, with keeping up with my home, trying so hard so be outside with my kids and gather items for Easter baskets but geez, I am going to miss all of these little things that make up my life with my littles.

[@smithfamthree]

My 8 year old daughter got so excited when she saw you liked my comment on your last video. She said to me “Mom you’re famous!” Lol And thank you for another inspiring video! This mama with chronic pain and fatigue really needs and appreciates it!

[@cambenouali]

“Tea” is dinner in the UK, that’s what the reel was talking about❤ so cute, you nearly cried and I then I nearly cried😂

[@Macfam4ever]

My youngest is 3 and still walks around spraying everything, it’s great.

[@colleenwilkin5705]

Everything you read is so true!!!we are both retired now and it’s just us and I use to think the way you did when my kids were young! We had no time for us and now we enjoy it so much when the grandkids come around! One day it will be your time ! Looks like it’s time to get rid of the bassinet!!! Oh I’m a big returner, better to have that cash in my pocket than theirs lol

[@shannonbakich8356]

Great discussion today! So true--my youngest graduated from high school last year and our house is so different than when my 4 kids were all home. I miss being a hands-on Mom but I am also thankful they are living their own lives!! So blessed to be a MOM!!

[@danadowney6024]

Love you girl!!! You are always the best part of my Tuesday Thursday and Saturday!!! Always waiting “impatiently “ for the next video!!! You rock Kim!!! ♥️♥️♥️

[@Bailey_Bauer]

Someone told me once, “if I’m too much, go find less”. What matters is your opinion of you and being kind to others. ❤

[@ellennewth6305]

I am in awe of your energy and enthusiasm, Kim! Your cheerful demeanor makes even tough cleaning chores fun. And I love how each specific task is accompanied by its own story!

Those quotes are so beautiful!! Is anybody else in tears lol I’ve been having a hard time realizing that my oldest will be 10 this year and these quotes are hitting the soft spot lol but they are helpful and beautiful!

My mom is kind of the same way. She worries so much about her house being clean, and I tell her to leave "the mess" and do something fun. Enjoy life. The mess will be there when she gets back.

Aweeee Kim, 🤗 Unsolicited advice from me. Try not to dwell in the future too much, the empty nest syndrome starts to soon. I did a deep dive when my first son moved out. I know I lost precious moments with the 3 sons still at home. However, I was a helicopter Mom to the core. Actually, I still am one even though my boys are all grown and have families of their own. One thing is certain, they never stop needing Mom! Bless your heart. ♥️

Kim! What are you trying to do to me? I can’t even do my dishes. I’m crying so hard with all the little “mommy messages” you are sharing with us! I am a mom to both the heavens and the Earth (2 this side of heaven) and watching them grow is the slowest heartbreak I have ever endured. 😢😢❤

Kim getting me all in my feels today!!😂 but really our normal is their magic! I have teens and an elementary age kid. My teens will talk about things we did when they were little with such happiness that seemed at the time so simple to me. ❤

Feeling all the feels...thank you Kim. It's real, you do miss it. My kids are grown and there are times I wish I could go back to the times when they were my littles; when it was easier and I didn't even know it. However grand-parenting is AMAZING!

Thank you for sharing the poems or whatever those were, I need to be reminded of take time. I get anxiety when things outta place our home is not messy it's just normal day to day. We raise our now 6 year old grandson and I need to learn that weekends especially are for play . Soo can't wait for warmer days to take him to park and hopefully on hikes lots of outdoor fun... love ya TFS xoxox
