Kim I had a friend say to me,“ if your coming to see me ,Come any time, if your coming to see the house, I need a month. Enjoy. Marlene 👍

[@ebonitompkins]

I love that! 😂

[@chrissis.6140]

Haha, that's a good one!! I gotta remember this...it's totally true for me too 😂😂

[@michelleheslep8877]

Your thouthfulness and consideration when explaining about bringing the food to the new mom actually brought a tear to my eye. You are so caring and kind.

[@rosanellesblessedlife1786]

As someone who recently had a baby, I applaud you for thinking of your neighbor. Only she will know how much this meant. God bless you

[@dianabanashefski1269]

I can’t stop laughing😂..-I’ve haven’t even done anything

[@dianabanashefski1269]

but trying to all day🌸

[@denisedavies5950]

I had twins as my first pregnancy and would have loved a neighbour like you ❤❤❤

[@dianen8962]

You are such a thoughtful person with your friend. Brownie points for you!!!!

[@ednarose86]

The fact that you were like "hey, no pressure, I'm not asking you to host or to even let us in the door. I'm not even the one delivering it, so we'll leave it at your doorstep. I just want you to be fed and have ONE evening where you don't have to think about dinner." I LOVE this. As someone who gets extreme anxiety with hosting, especially post partum (I can't imagine having twins), I would be so incredibly thankful for the gesture.

[@jenniferkennedy3400]

Use those lemon Oreos as the crust for a cheesecake. Delicious!

[@MommyDontSeeMe]

Omg! 🤤

[@tangybodie4335]

YES 🙌

[@aimee2234]

Kim, always bringing the happy. It's a lazy "what am I doing up?" Saturday and you pop up at the perfect time cleaning, cooking, spinning those royalty free jams and tempting us with brownies and slo-mo juicing. Thank you, for bringing the sunshine & love to all of us. Be blessed & back to feeling better lil' mama! xoxo

[@jacquelinetemple2524]

A perfect morning is to lose myself watching 48 minutes of your 'around the house happenings'. Kitchen clean up was poetry in motion, everyone coming together to get the job done and I've adopted your timing trick too, it's amazing what you can get done in 10 minutes. You always make me laugh but I had a proper giggle when the camera fell and you asked if we were ok 😂🤣.

[@FrolleinMiez]

Woop woop 🥳 Edit: laughed so hard at the "the same rag as I used on the toilets". 🤣 Great clapback, Kim! 👌🏻

[@melissawells2502]

We've started doing brownie Friday to go along with our Friday family movie night. Pizza and brownies because mama is done by Friday night. Lol my kids think it's awesome but now I'm held to the standard of making brownies every Friday. 😆

[@MelindaLee]

OMG I did that years ago. I came up with the brilliant idea of having not 1..oh no...but 2 days of "special weekend breakfasts" Each child gets their special breakfast for Saturday and Sunday. Oh no...like 1 day a week isn't enough. So now ... YEARS LATER ... I'm making 3 DIFFERENT BREAKFASTS 2 TIMES A WEEK. But...sometimes, now that they're older, they make breakfast for me. And when they have their own families and are gone from my home, I will miss the chaos!!! LOL Melissa, take short cuts if you have a crazy week, Costco has great baked good...just stick them into a baking pan and say you worked hard making it from scratch :D

[@mandaleemilly6367]

You’ve got to try brownie cookies! They’re so good and really easy to make.

[@thewadsquad]

I like the cookie idea! I can keep frozen cookie dough in the freezer ready to bake for the special Friday!! Box mix is my saving grace for those busy Fridays!

[@crystalcruz3255]

For months now, every Friday when I wake my son (11) up for school, I go in his room singing Kim's lil jingle..🎶🎵🎙🎤"IT'S BROWNIEEE FRIIIDAAYY!! FRIIIIDAAYY!! 😂😂Only difference is I don't make brownies, nor do we eat brownies on Friday!🤷‍♀️ 🤣 He's over me at this point!🤦‍♂️🙆‍♂️🙅‍♂️

[@ritahamm1893]

I had to pause you and go down and get my coffee. This is how I start my Saturday by putting some happy in my day. My daughter is expecting number 7. Her oldest was here yesterday watching your video with me bc she thinks you’re hilarious. She’s so excited you are having another baby. She told me that she’s not getting married and having babies. She said she’s going to have a bunny farm and raise bunnies. It cracked me up bc she still seems to be following mommy’s footsteps bc we all know how those bunnies reproduce.

[@shoppingwithmichelle9077]

7 kids omg.

[@baraaalshaher4456]

Omg me too!! I paused the video to make coffee... love you kim ❤ you always but a little happy in my day 🥰

[@ragangrasso2201]

I really love and look forward to Kim's videos..7 children?! Omg!

[@aimeelangan1625]

I have 7 children and we have a blast! And what's so funny is that my daughter (#5) also tells me she's "never getting a husband." 🤣 She says she's going to live with her sister and they are going to put their dogs in the backseat of the car. I love all their personalities so much. Congrats to your daughter - enjoy that new grandbaby!

[@strawberrycherrybaby]

@@aimeelangan1625 Honestly in this economy, that might be a wise choice 😂 your kids sound adorable, definitely planning a fun future lol. My husband and I aren’t sure how many kids we want yet (we have a 15 month old, and I just found out I’m pregnant with another). But we’re planning to build several tiny homes instead of one larger home, that way our kids can live on our property and have housing stability. I feel a lot of instability coming up in the next 50 years or so, gotta keep my babies near. Generational living is the way of the past and the future 👍 more balanced workloads and more hands to help with kids/elderly people/pets/chores. I’m also planning to split the land with my mom, so she can have her house-bus or a tiny home near her grandkids ☺️. Would also make me feel much better as she gets older. She has a lot of weird allergies and is small, so I worry about her getting sick or something and not being checked on.

[@ritahamm1893]

Having 8 grandchildren soon to be 9 I keep those freeze dried marshmallows on hand as well. They drink as much hot chocolate in summer as in winter. They love it after they get out of the pool. I know, weird but true. Plus there is the fact I made them hot chocolate bombs a couple years ago and now apparently it’s a tradition for the holiday season.

[@Amandahugginkizz]

We have a fire and ice bar it's hot chocolate stuff and we just got an industrial commercial size snow cone machine for actually super cheap on amazon. My kids love hot chocolate and it's so cheap. So fire and ice lol

[@emmamomma9271]

No pressure food drop off is the ultimate gift 💝

[@Michelle-by9fp]

Kim here is the best (legit Mexican) beans recipe you'll ever find. Take your bag of dry pinto or black beans, check them for little rocks, rinse them, then out them in a crockpot with a bunch of water, at least half an onion, garlic (not powder), salon goya (flavor packet in Mexican food section), and the secret ingredient: at least a tbsp of bacon grease or more for 2+lbs of beans. When you cook bacon just save the grease in a container in the fridge. You won't ever have beans any other way. Another way I've seen it made is with the onion and garlic and cutting actual raw bacon into the crockpot, at least half a pack of bacon up to a full pack of bacon if you're making a lot of beans. Beans freeze great so you can portion out a family size side portion and not have to worry about cooking it for your next meal. Keep in the crockpot at least 6 hours or until soft. My crockpot is old so I keep it there all day, 10+ hours :)

[@EJaramillo]

I’m New Mexican and our food is very close to Mexican food and I love bacon in my beans. Leftover cooked bacon it’s great to freeze and use for cooking beans.

[@Michelle-by9fp]

@@EJaramillo my mother in law is New Mexican and she does it the bacon way! Another family member who is Mexican does hers just with the bacon grease! It's a small world lol

[@EJaramillo]

@@Michelle-by9fp I love it with bacon grease as well! Yes very small world.

[@meghanlozada]

was anyone else literally laughing out loud when she was all over the place in the kitchen before she even made anything??!! LOL 🤣 oh Kim!

[@planningtolive_thebestlife453]

That clip with your family cleaning up with you was so beautiful🥰 I just loved how everyone was busy moving all around. It reminded me of my childhood with me and my 7 siblings. It’s just the flow of family life and it makes me so happy!!!

[@jessicabones]

I really loved that too

[@elainelofgren9813]

❤❤❤BTW my Grands (7 &12) are home schooled, and on their break time the say, "We want to watch the lady who made the video cutting her hair." I love watching you, you bring a smile to our faces every time!🧑🏼👧🏼👩🏻‍🦰

[@colinlaybourn354]

Kim, I need you to know something. I'm from the UK and over here, only the mega, mega rich can afford big houses so I have quite a small house with NO storage which makes it so hard to keep things today. Anyway, shut up Colin... Get to the point!! OK, so I've been struggling for about 5 years with my mental health and a big part of that is that I can't stand mess and chaos and my house is so untidy. I've cried at night because I don't know where to start. I can't take that first step and I certainly can't be cheerful when I do it. I wanted to reach out and tell you that since I found your channel, I've started to tidy. Today I did my kitchen and bedroom and I'm so proud but it's because of you. I'm so grateful to you and you're my hero, my inspiration and my motivation. Thank you so much for what you have done for me. I'm here for every single video and I hope I can become just 10% of the person you are! Loads and loads of love from the UK xxx

[@carlateixeira6495]

Oh my gosh 😁☕☀️ hi Kim!! 😘 hi everyone!! I am more than ready: I have my snacks and your company, let's do this!! around the house happenings here we go 😆

[@TruthSeekerNC]

Hello! 🙂

[@mikesgracie5068]

Oooh, speaking of brownie Friday! My 13 year old son made brownies last night and they were delicious! He even added chocolate chips and I gotta say, brownies that I didn't have to make taste even better 😁 So remember fellow mommas, on those tough days when your kids are wee little, hang on! because someday they might make you brownies 😂

[@ljatwood1972]

Food I don't have to make always tastes better! :)

[@jas7036]

@@ljatwood1972 so. Much. Better. Probably because it doesn’t happen often :)

[@lurblur11]

Well that's best reason I've heard for having kids! Someday they make you brownies!!!

[@MrsAlmaTrumble]

You always make my day brighter, so I hope this makes yours a little brighter. THANK YOU for being you.

[@rachelresets]

I love how you think about how you felt at that point in life and do what you wish people had done for you when you just had kids when you're sending dinner to other families. I wish everyone could have such a thoughtful friend as you. ❤

[@nova8339]

We line dry in Jamaica and use a literal tree branch with a notch like a y ..to hoist up the line when it does that thing yours did. It adds height and improves the slack problem. That brought me back to my childhood lol

[@lisaglass203]

Confession. When I watch your videos I use my headphones so when my kids come in I flip my phone over so they don't know I'm watching a video. They always seem to need something when I'm doing something for myself. Now they come in and walk back out because it just looks like I'm cleaning. Life hack.. lol I love your intros makes me giggle every time.

[@kitchenwithfozi6702]

Lisa Glass thanks

[@jamiepan7650]

Kim, I just love you. You make it all look easy. You have such a nice glow about you. With all that you have going on,you took the time to help someone else. You are such a thoughtful and kind person.

Hey Kim! I am a new subscriber. I’ve fallen in love with your silly yet honest approach to running a household. Thanks for the smiles and happy in my day!😁

You are so kind to make food for that new mom when you arent feeling so great yourself. And having people over? My Gosh!

Good morning Kim. Love your sweet spirit this beautiful morning. Tyfs and have a blessed day.

Hi Kim!! I had to log on early to tell you I found the best DW candle ever! It’s called tropical nectar and has a FLAMINGO lid!! I was super exited when I found it. I had to tell you about it’s existence. 🤣🤣 I probably need to get a life 🤪🤪

You and me both! 😂

[@dianamcneal9370]

I literally chuckle every time you say "it's fine" then you crack the joke that you're cleaning the fridge with the rag that you cleaned the toilet with and I'm thinking, oh it's fine! 😂😂😂😂

[@sedwards536]

Oh my gosh I used to do the advert break cleaning, long before sky TV and pause buttons. It's amazing what you can get done. Soak pans then go back to them after 10 minutes and wipe clean and get a drink and a snack. I think now in the UK you get more adverts than movie. Ha😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@sissajoy0911]

The same rag I used on the toilet.....I'm wheezing! Too funny!!!!

[@kimberlymoore665]

When you're cooking videos come out I get so excited to watch them. My Mom hated to cook and didn't teach me a thing. (She used to say that the next house we lived in wasn't going to have a kitchen!) I kind of have a negative attitude when it comes to cooking because I don't have confidence. You've made me branch out little and try new things. Thank you from the bottom of my heart!

[@simpleandsweetshares2174]

Wow - you are so thoughtful and kind (your reason for sending your husband with the food)... ❤

Good Saturday Morning energetic and beautiful Kim. I hope the nausea is improving with time. Meredith is growing and is so cute. So are her sister's and brother as well. The Oreo batter looks so delicious. So thoughtful of you for sending a meal and desert to this new Mom. This family will appreciate and enjoy. Thank You for happy in there day and mine too. You inspire, and motivate. Have a nice weekend Kim and family and party people💝

[@nicolaveck3429]

I loved it when you where washing pots and your mom eye spotted a child to give something too to put away xx

[@sarahc9994]

You're advice about making her a meal and how you didn't want her to feel pressure was the nicest and sweetest sentiment. I honestly felt touched by that. I think sometimes people think oh I'll hold the baby but sometimes it's the mother that needs the meal :)

[@thewadsquad]

For me having other people hold the baby always gave me anxiety too like... I just got the baby to sleep, please don't wake them up - or whatever the case was lol could have been a million things but yes!

I never had anyone come bring me dinner or anything after having a baby....Everyone wanted to come see the baby for the first few weeks but after that nada. I always wished people would have brought us a meal or came over just to play with my older boys 😕 my postpartum was super difficult all my babies were born via c-section. My husband took care of everything for me while I recovered before having to return overseas. Our last two babies were born during deployments.

I love your videos. I watched when you were line drying the clothes reminded me of my childhood. My mom would struggle having the clothes drag until she put a medium stick/wood in the middle that she could move around to hold up the line. It worked and the clothes never touched the floor in the middle again. Can't wait until you upload again. :)

[@kgrama1]

Yes, I remember my mom doing the same with a long metal pole. I think you can still buy them. Not only does it keep laundry off the ground, it puts it higher up in the air to better catch the breeze. Moms DO know best!

A tip for drying line. We have just a random wooden stick, that has a y on top and is a bit longer than an average human. We push the clothing line up from the middle with it and leave the stick there until clothes are taken off.
