Only person i trust with a sponsored video. You still buy this stuff even when the video is not sponsored and thst shows that you truly like the product

[@ednarose86]

Can I just say that you mentioning the weights, REALLY displays how perspective changes everything. When you thought it was 11lbs, you felt weak, because you felt like you should be able to do more. But once you found out it was 16lbs, you felt so proud and energized to do it again. So, same experience, same weights, same amount of work, but you were inspired instead of defeated.

[@missgreece91]

Aww wolfgang is such a big boy now ❤❤❤! He looks so much like Meredith minus the eyebrows 😂❤🤗

[@iriscannon484]

My family and I have a commercial glass and mirror company. We have always used vinegar and newspaper to spot and final clean all our installs and products. It is the best.

[@rochellesiegel5199]

Morning glory Kim! Every salad needs a bit of kosher or sea salt - it makes all the difference! On slightly damp hands, I sprinkle the salt & then toss that salad thru & thru - then add your dressing. I promise you that you will be so amazed at the difference with this one small change it makes, that you will never go back!!!😊

[@minnamae25]

Yes! ❤

[@strawberrycherrybaby]

I saw someone say you have to season the veggies first, THEN add dressing. So it’s not just dressing then watery crunch. I’ll use this tip 👍

[@Armymom1984]

That’s why I’m letting my daughter stay here as long as she needs to. She is in college and working a full-time job as a manager. I told her she can live here as long as she needs to until these prices on houses calm down. Hopefully that will be soon for everybody’s sake, including my own. I really don’t want her to go out into this world struggling already so she can stay until she’s 50 if she has to.

[@luvangelmyers2731]

🙏🏽❤️Luv this! Feel the same about my daughter even tho she moved out a year and a half ago. But she knows if her mama has a place to lay her head, she does too🩷

[@nancyfarkas3592]

My sister her husband and their daughter moved back in with my parents and I years ago and ended up staying for about 15 years and had several more kids over those years. I loved having my nieces and nephews there and being able to spend time with them and because of that we are very close.

[@christylee6790]

😂😂😂 "Bed Bath and Body Works 😂

[@amarie504]

[@shareejacobs4509]

Your little boy is growing so darn fast and he’s so cute! You have so much energy! God bless you🙏🫶🏻🙂

[@supawaffles9]

I adore your positive energy, I love being your friend and hanging out ❤

[@shariwagner3002]

👵💜 Thank you for your kindness and blessings miss Alma. I need all the help I can get. It is Saturday morning with Kim and her videos that I love. It starts my day off with happiness. Thank you Kim! You are the BEST!!

[@normalopezingle7732]

That is exactly why I have been working out for over a year now. FOR all the things you mentioned. Thanks for motivating me even more!!!!

[@radhasircar8558]

You get so much done in a day and make it all look so fun! Love watching all your videos. Very uplifting and inspiring. Thanks Kim.❤

[@LN.007]

Serious question: Have you guys ever considered having 2 washers & dryers for all the laundry?

[@rwilli26rw]

I like looking at houses too, Kim!

[@sissyrouse1473]

Buy a solar generator. Even a small one enough to run your fridge and freezers. You can always cook on the grill if necessary. Worth every penny.

[@ellennewth6305]

I love how you used the Play-Doh tool to cut the cheese crackers! Very creative! Your delicate little orchid looked really beautiful ... amazing that it revived itself and blossomed! I always heard they were hard to grow. Kinda cool to hear that thunderstorm ... We hardly ever have them in Southern California and I miss them. Have a great weekend!!!

[@deborahhanes8471]

Wolfgang is such a handsome young man! Kim, I love your vlogs! They give me encouragement, meal ideas and they help me to STOP and realize that I am only human and if don't get everything done in the same day it's OK. Love to you and your family!!

[@lisabeierling1837]

I tried the LMNT after one of your sponsored videos a while back. The first time I didn’t care for it because it was too salty. But I realized I prefer it a little more watered down and over ice. Literally tripled my daily water consumption by using this.

[@kellycrowl1500]

Thank you Kim! Always motivating & fun kick start to my day! ❤ Have a great weekend! ❤❤❤❤

[@shereemorgan1430]

Kim I have been following you for about a year. Your son has grown up so much. He's so handsome! Love your channel and have a great day ❣️.

[@kimthomson3761]

So love that u put ur own twist on recipes. I do the same. I always add little more spice and maybe an additional spice to recipes. I recently created my own seasoning blend to replicate the seasoning on a preseasoned chicken from the grocery store. It turned out really well and my hubby loves it when I make chicken with this new seasoning blend.

[@ranoomsh1464]

The best way to start a new day is with you my girl❤❤

[@dixierobinson2606]

We are in western North Carolina and we lose power a Lot! A whole house generator was the best thing we did after we bought the house. We can go 2-3 days at least 2-3 times a year. I never worry about losing my freezer. Still, I am a canner as well. I just enjoy having that resource.

[@AprilD2410]

I’m a country gal and I always used the white spot trick for picking out a watermelon. The bigger the white place on the melon the better it is!

[@mlmm47]

The problem is they keep making hybrids of watermelon trying to make them seedless has also taking away the taste of the old good juicy watermelon we had as kids, try and find a local farm or market that has homegrown watermelon in Florida there should be some good melons there, but better yet grow some in your back yard yes it's easy enough and teaching kids about growing your own. we love your family we are 1 week away from school out for summer here in Wisconsin

[@amaz21]

Since watermelon isn't really in season yet, that spot trick might not work. Any watermelons in the store right now are either greenhouse grown or picked/shipped before they were ripe. The field spot develops as the melon ripens in the field, which doesn't really happen with a grocery store melon.

[@traceyrommel1847]

Always productive Kim. The homemade Cheez-its look amazing. My husband would love them. They are his favorite. Fruit is so hard to figure out. I have started taking my receipt and getting a refund for my fruit. It’s crazy what we pay and then to have to throw it away. ❤❤❤

[@melanie2lm]

Iv been so busy I haven't seen anything on KZbin in like 2 months I usually watch your videos the same day they come out. This is the first one iv seen in awhile and the dopamine of the into music

[@kathykwilliams6457]

❤😅SO CUTE. . . WOLFGANG HOLDING SO TIGHT ONTO YOUR THUMB in outside kitchen ❤😂!!!!!!!ADORABLE

[@wildiarose8523]

I ❤LMNT! So excited to see you sponsored by them and to help get the word out about it. And I ❤️ your channel! Puts a little happy in my day!

[@LindaFoyle]

Thank you Kim and family, have a wonderful day ❤

[@kimmatney9506]

try adding cofferd ceilings to add alot of charater

[@minnamae25]

Oh my goodness Kim, I make those crackers with my sourdough and my family devours them. I love that nifty cutter you swiped from the play dough station. I have something similar for cutting pie crust that I NEVER use. I think now i have a use for it. Yes, sprinkle with salt on top makes them superb. 😂 What i do for cheese. I will purchase a couple of big ole 3lb brick of cheese at our local Amish store, shred it all and measuring out 2 cups per bag, toss them in the freezer. That way I'm always stocked up with shredded cheese. Sprinkle a little bit of flour per bag to prevent it from sticking together in clumps. I even make regular sourdough butter crackers that we love for dips and soups.❤

[@SL-qu3rx]

Ah! Thank you so much Kim for doing the workout routine. I’ve been waiting for it!

[@HillabillyHippie]

Diluted vinegar works great on windows and mirrors. Yes newspaper is great, but not necessary.

[@MaritaCovarrubias01]

I live in Houston, and we just got power back on after 3 days. I’m so grateful for air conditioning right now! Thank goodness we had a generator to save my freezer contents.

[@peacewG]

Kim - you are looking so great! Thx for the reminder of how I NEED to get back to exercising.

[@inthekitchenwithgrandmaC-jp8zu]

Did I hear you say your mom ate radish sandwiches??? My dad did too!!! Oh my gosh, I have tried them, their OK I guess. but try and get our grandkids to try them is hilarious!! KIM You are such a ray of sunshine !!!

[@rosemarydavis9347]

I like radish sandwiches too

[@sarahludos7970]

Oh my gosh, Wolfgang is so handsome, I can’t stand it!! I hope he feels better soon. I agree about the watermelon so I have started buying the precut from Publix, it seems to be better stuff. Great video as usual!

[@nicolewatters4062]

I love canning. Canning meat, having canned meat like pork roast, pot roast etc. So great to have. Good food fast. ❤makes your life so much easier❤

[@jillmelton71]

Wolfgang is gorgeous. He looks like meredith❤

[@ahavilan7033]

Haha! I also had the recipe from Chocolate Covered Katie. It was awful, but most of her other recipes were decent. I still use a fat bomb recipe from her. I love how “real” you are. It’s nice to see the hydration, exercise, making food from home, etc. you have inspired me to get moving. Thank you for being a friend. ❤️😬 31:09

[@barbarapeterson8030]

HAPPY SATURDAY IN MAY Kim, family, and feathered friends. Thanks for sharing your workout, with all the tips and ideas. Enjoy your day. STTB💮💮💮💮

[@BallroomJenni]

The garbanzo beans have a little skin on them, if you peel that off it improves the texture (but is kind of tedious)

[@markatag2680]

Woo lets go saturday morning catch up 😊

[@Liberal_From_Prairies689]

Kimberly Whisk is back in the gym 🏋‍♀️🤸‍♀️and cooking in the kitchen👩🏻‍🍳🍳 and she has a bunch of radishes.🎉 Radishes are underrated. 😋 Dill is so expensive whether it's dried or fresh. I decided to plant my own in a planter on the balcony. Going to have fresh dill all summer. 😋

[@jwarnstarsmile]

I use 1 part rubbing alcohol, a thumb nail of dish soap and 4 parts water to clean most things - definitely streak free for windows and mirrors

[@rebeccajenkins4755]

try this for getting a watermelon. sugar baby is the name. very dark green with a butter yellow spot where it laid on the ground. Loved it. try it.

[@annemarieculen2719]

Hi! Kerry gold butter does have measurements on the wrapper!

[@SharpLife4]

As a diabetic I appreciate you have low sugar options cause many events I go to are all sugar drinks or warm tap water

[@missgreece91]

Kim, zest the lemon next time and add 1 more garlic cloves . Tried spices always help too. Dried garlic, onion, more dried dill if you have, whatever you have on hand

[@thewadsquad]

Once it sat in the fridge it tasted much better!!

[@missgreece91]

@@thewadsquad ahh good to know. Thanks for the feedback

[@beckers68]

I used to love weight lifting! I have problems with my hips so walking is not a great way for me to get exercise. I really need to get back into it. OH and I am totally into looking at houses too. It is so fun to go to open houses and dream. But we are also seriously looking to move. But you don't need an excuse to look, it's fun! Poor little Wolfgang, I hope he feels bettter soon.

[@orietdiamond4185]

Kim, the best glass cleaner that I have used ever since I tried it is: one part isopropyl alcohol to two parts water.

[@meranda9804]

They have really nice croc sandals. They're very comfortable and easy to clean. That's all i wear in the Summer.

[@MrsAlmaTrumble]

Have you seen the croc cowboy boots?!

[@amandadavispomeroy]

lol I’m glad I’m not the only one who thinks of that song when it thunders. I sing it every time & my family is like whaaaaa???

[@jjfield6210]

I need a link to the Amazon dress!!! I teach preschool and shorts under a dress are a must. And we still have a month of summer school to come. 😢 Thank you for your motivation that always gets me going when i just want to go back to bed lol. ❤

[@dianenorris299]

Would it be possible to add skylights that would add more light to your kitchen. You are in your kitchen so much. I bet you would really enjoy it.😊

[@theonlyanna6925]

You can add charm in create a garden (flowers, beds and all the stuff)

[@ShirlBussman]

The last thing you made we always call it goulash. Haven't thought about it in years. Sounds really good. Wolfgang is just so darn handsome. I do mean handsome. ❤❤

[@alecotton]

For the best watermelon I always look for a big yellow spot and LOTS of webbing. The more webbing the sweeter it is. I got one from Costco yesterday and it was juicy and sweet and red. ❤

[@HillabillyHippie]

Thanks to you I got my LMNT subscription! It’s great!! Love the watermelon salt and the salted Carmel cocoa is great instead of coffee!! They even sent me a sample of the carbonated premixed drinks!! Them and Liquid IV are amazing!!

[@nicolesanchez9714]

Been thinking of trying LMNT, since you talk about it so much, glad you can get a kickback now that they sponsor you!! Can’t wait to get my order 😊

[@nancyfarkas3592]

It’s expensive. 45 dollars a box. No thanks

[@kayburris8464]

Hope everyone is feeling better. Fun video, i was cracking up with the cookie dough.. they knew something was off!! Lol

[@kathykwilliams6457]

The sound of LOVE AROUND THE DINNER TABLE... ohhhhh how I miss it.

[@jennifergross3506]

Usually cucumber salads need like a day in the fridge...and salt and pepper...and I would have added onions....and possibly feta cheese

[@thewadsquad]

You’re exactly right!! After chilling it was great!

[@joeydavis6250]

I neeeeed to know about the jar of consequences! Please tell the story sometime

[@Lonni180]

Maybe add salt, pepper and vinegar to that dill cucumber bean salad. Maybe that would make it taste more flavorful

[@marlenewaraksa8756]

Alex your family needs a generator in an emergency you can all stay in your own home so comforting for the kids and Kim can load up a freezer

[@thewadsquad]

Alex here! We are working on it.

[@bethwhite4497]

Just water your orchid once a week. No ice cubes. ❤️

[@sierraduncan2799]

THE COOKING ASMR!! Lol I love it

[@LillianBryant-s1t]

You can make Cheez-Its with cheese slices cut into fourths poke a whole with a straw bake at 275° for 25 minutes.

[@JoAnn-he7ws]

Great video as usual. ❤️❤️

[@sydneykasmar]

Cleaning windows with vinegar and water for 10 plus years. No newspaper... flyers work too. One sheet to clean and one to dry.

[@jocelynstade5369]

You Crack me up every time... Bed Bath and Body works!! 🤣🤣🤣

[@michelleneuman579]

How sweet he loves to nap on you! And it kinda forces our girl to rest too!

[@Jen5914]

Yes and they even got the new 22lb weights at my YMCA Pump in Valrico! They are huge!

[@shirleyyeno1950]

Do u have a generator for when power goes off for more than an hour?

[@waterbuckethomestead]

I like radishes thinly sliced in potato salad or whole roasted with potatoes.

[@dannhorne9782]

Living water front is the charm!!

[@thewadsquad]

👏🏻 👏🏻 👏🏻 that’s truuuuueee 🎉

[@slapstickdome9797]

I love cooking ones 🤗. Here for the fun! ❤️

[@DesireeDAlessandro]

🍉🍉🍉 I know the secret to picking a good watermelon! I've nailed my first 2 of the season! First, stay away from the minis. 2. Look for a big one that has a nice "ground spot." 3. Look for one with dark green veining on the outside and 4. If you knock on it it should sound a little hollow.

[@yanak7159]

You should grow dill. It’s so easy to grow, it grows like weeds 😅. And super cheap

[@Momoftwo2017]

My son has 8 school days left! And I am so over packing lunches too! This last month of May I’ve resorted to using ziplock bags (GASP!) because I just cannot wash one more lunch box 😂

[@myview6852]

I can’t stop giggling over how you pronounced Persian like “Peru- sian”!! If you thought the cucumbers’ variety was from Peru, it would be Peruvian. They are from Persia (how the Greek called Iran). That salad could use some lime juice and red wine vinegar and fresh chopped mint. I would also chop the cucumbers in smaller pieces. We make a salad similar to that but with garbanzo beans.

[@gailfenander223]

Saw a sign recently that said "if I stirred it, it's homemade!!" Enjoy your comedy!! ❤❤

[@irenerucker1333]

I remember that recipe bean cookie dough had u stressed😂.....my dad calls whole foods the rich man store🤣....anyone else wait for kims dance & song each video & a pop up clip😁...... homemade cheez it's yum.

[@CaliAnimalLover]

Just watching you at the gym is complete explanation of how your arms look! GOALS!!!

[@lindamickel8545]

Please don’t use ice cubes on your orchid. They do better with regular water. Mine prefer room temp or slightly warm.

[@couponingwithisa]

Wow 😂hope you are OK BUT YOU MADE ME LAUGHING-CUZ I FELL TOO 😂

[@jojoply]

Kim try and stop at a farmers market for a melon. I know another stop but it will be worth it.

[@caitlinherzog4115]

Add some salt to the watermelon or put it in a salad with other flavors or ... Freeze it and give it to the chickens!

[@JoyClement777]

I love Lmnt so much, my favs are watermelon and the chocolate.

[@nasrin2633]

If you eat salt with the radishes, they are not as spicy.

[@ashleymora261]

The secret for a good watermelon is live in Costa Rica😂 EVERY fruit is so much delicious here! Highly recommended

[@user-zi3kd4td2f]

Have you checked your PO box lately and done an unboxing? I like to see those too!

[@rnnelson]

How do you make food during the day with all your kids? When I’m cooking it’s always pure chaos, the baby in the kitchen with me and my other two little ones yelling or fighting and wanting my attention. Pure chaos, so stressful! I call it panic-cooking because I’m racing the clock with 3 kids causing chaos

[@cindythomas9151]

Wolfgang is getting so big.💕

[@blo1314]

Uugghh....what a beautiful little boy!!

[@jamesonplaysyoutube8643]

I don't remember the bean cake but I do remember the gold fish lol. Thank you for a good start to my day! See ya next time Friend!

[@tarastrinketsandtreasures2900]

The best way to pick out a watermelon is to feel for a hollow reverberation when tapping with an open hand. I hope this helps.

[@karendillard3694]

U can also use coffee filters to clean windows

[@nishoku1722]

dont ice cube plants, repot it and trim off the dead roots and tops
