Alanis Morsette who? 😂

[@thewadsquad]

Honestly.

[@Raganmarie]

Yaaas!

[@brikhouse22]

Yesss!! 🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦❤️❤️❤️ Who remembers that bonus song at the end of the cd?

[@LeafLikeOnATree]

Not me jamming out at 13 years old to my first CD 😂

[@lisarobbinson8835]

Love her 🤗

[@missk5751]

Thank you for being, “you”. You are a beautiful person. Your personality brightens everyone’s day. Thank you for sharing your time with us!

[@MommaLousKitchen]

She is! ❤

[@katielindgren1267]

I agree!! ❤

[@kathi5187]

Yes 😊

[@MET3279]

Oh I so agree!!!!! I reallly needed this. ❤❤❤❤❤

[@simplegiftsandtruths8263]

I love her giggle 😊

[@brookerlay]

KIM!! The “field trip” feet never gets old! It’s so hilarious!! And then to apologize for not using the field trip walk feet was super funny too! Love you!!

[@connieh9033]

Side note, if the dryer vent ended in the closed up wall... you may want it checked out. That's a lot of moisture being pumped into that closed space. You can get mold. Better have someone look at it.

[@thewadsquad]

and the nightmare continues. Thanks so much! We'll have to get that done!

[@lindahough3990]

It's called chair rail with bead board. I was totally thinking how it would warm that area up.

[@laurabirchall4895]

I love you so much I recently lost my brother suddenly he was only 38 and I’ve been so so low since and watching you dancing and singing in your laundry room has just brightened my morning so much you really do lift people such a shining light all my love Laura from Ireland 🇮🇪 ❤❤❤❤❤

[@MrsAlmaTrumble]

I'm so sorry to hear about your loss. We'll be praying for you and your family.

[@amandadavispomeroy]

So sorry for your loss. May his memory be for a blessing.

[@prasnlrdsheilawalker5241]

✝️🛐✝️

[@caglrz2183]

Sorry for your loss.

[@renitahebner3084]

Sorry for your loss. I’ve lost two brothers and I miss them everyday. Hugs to you from Michigan USA

[@justusewater1]

Avalina did SO well! What a great poem and performance!!

[@MrsAlmaTrumble]

As you enjoy the Saturday, don’t forget to thank God for all the blessings He has blessed you with. Wishing you a happy Saturday!

[@slapstickdome9797]

Years ago my neighbor’s dryer did catch on fire. Honestly, with the amount of time that lint was backed up, it IS a miracle you did NOT have a fire!! Praise GOD!!!

[@inthekitchenwithgrandmaC-jp8zu]

I agree, and my hubby is the same... never go to sleep or leave our house while the dryer is running!! Praise GOD!!!

[@thewadsquad]

Right!!! It was wild. Hope your neighbors are safe!

[@slapstickdome9797]

@@thewadsquad They caught it right away with minimum damage. 👍 But still scary.

[@MommaLousKitchen]

I go outside periodically and make sure the amount of air coming out of the vent doesn't change. Mines easy to deal with though, it's fairly short and goes to an accessable crawl space and out. No walls ect

[@kirstyletham5597]

In Scotland alot of thr old house aren't built to have a dryer the way the us has don't get me wrong houses been built now are. But In my house I'm in Scotland I live in a tiny 2 bedroom bungalow my dryer just sits in the kitchen the hose goes out the window but wee never leave anything plug in apart from out freezers eveyhting gets unplugged so when we use the dryed the lint cones out the hose so u never get that build up . However my dryer plug did go on fire 2 years ago on Xmas eve lucky it had a safety thing to it cut the electricity off x

[@sammyg2808]

I am very chronically ill and I know your video is the place to cheer me up. Thank you Kim!!

[@mella372]

I saw a meme that reminded me of you. It said, call me, Matt Damon because I’m goodwill hunting!😂

[@jenniferferreira9061]

Kim you seriously don’t know how much I look forward to Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturdays. You’re just so FABULOUS ❤❤❤❤.

[@KCallaAK]

I love your love for your kids! My kids are 40 and 33 and I STILL feel the same way. At least now I have 4 grandkids under 6 to enjoy! Life is GOOD.

[@amysingh9848]

With the kids hallway Kim You should put those white or black frames that open up and kids can display their artwork. Then you can have a whole gallery of your kids artwork and it can rotate and change

[@tarnkimUSA]

I was thinking exactly the same thing! Like an art exhibition for all the kids. Five frames for each kids

[@deborahodonnell5420]

So happy for you all. You work so hard at being the best parents. You are the woman across the room. ❤

[@Youknowitsjenn]

I saw the field trip stomp in the intro so you KNOW it’s gonna be a good day!

[@terrieaves1682]

Kim, your babies are so beautiful and talented! You and Alex have an amazing family. I love the addition! It's all coming together! I hope you can find the chairs. I'm so glad you figured out what was happening with the dryer vent. Alex being worried about the house catching on fire is more about the precious people that he loves so much who are in that house.❤

[@kathy2933]

🎉🎉🎉🎉Nothing like putting some “DANG” happy in my life Kim!!! 😊😊 Great job Avalina 👏👏🎂🥳🥳 Proud Parent Alert❣️❣️Kim, you are a sophisticated lady! Don’t let anyone tell you otherwise. Thanks for starting off my Saturday with some laughs, motivation & inspiration. Have a great weekend. 💜💜

[@mama2liam06]

Avalina did so wonderful! Watching my kids do anything that they worked hard for makes my heart swell with pride. ❤

[@christine3256]

For the wall - since it is the wing of the house where the kids bedrooms are, have a painting party with the kids and then frame each panting and make a gallery wall. Just a thought! Love your energy and your videos ❤

[@kathyclarke5899]

Omg Avalina is def your daughter. How awesome is she!!!! What a great video. So much happy. ❤

[@thewadsquad]

She's so much cooler than me!! I love her!

[@viviannaallen7316]

Kim, I LOVE how you light up and get so excited when you talk about your babies. You are an AMAZING and LOVING mama❣️ Avandia did a Great job on her Poetry.

[@mchristner1]

Your Alanis Morsette concert in the laundry room was awesome. Avalina's poem was great too! The addition is coming together. Shame on the people who didn't tell you about the dryer vent. Thank God you and Alex figured it out.

[@donna8212]

Good morning Kim! Great video! Avalina…👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 wonderful job 😁🎂!! Great job Meredith 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻, the cutest little butterfly ☺️🐛🦋. Enjoy your weekend 🕊️.

[@mistyglenn6060]

love second hand shops and garage and yard sales...like they are the best!!! ❤❤ Thank you for being SO REAL!!

[@anji5635]

Kim You Alex and the children are so blessed I'm so glad to hear that you're grateful

[@duchessamanda1512]

I laughed so hard when Avalina smashed her face into the cake 😂. Great writing and acting 🎉🎉

[@RitaVernoy]

It’s wonderful to see you being so appreciative and grateful for your addition!❤

[@LindaFoyle]

I love how your “new” home decor is coming along, and you can ground it all together with a carpet ❤so excited for you and family, great video as always💕

[@DarleneWhite]

Avalina did a great job! Thanks for sharing that with us Kim!

[@brikhouse22]

I'd suggest checking your dryer vent connection regularly, seems like there might be a 90 degree elbow and a lot of lint will get caught. It shouldn't be like that.

[@connieh9033]

The hallway wall... when my sisters and I were younger, my dad took action shots of us in our softball position and made posters of us. He hung those in the rec-room. We thought they were cool. Catch them in their element.

[@conniesmith3922]

Kim, we love you. It is so great to see a Mom who loves her kids, and is so proud of their accomplishments. Thank you for being a role model for all mothers. ❤❤❤

[@alecotton]

This video made me cry. 😢 being a momma is hard, and it’s sad but so awesome to see them grow and become so smart and funny. ❤

[@maryinmichigan2626]

I would think that vertical vent pipe , even connected, would have a problem with micro lint collecting over time at the bottom where it connects to dryer. This would need to be checked and cleaned out often. Remember to always check pockets of clothes too, people, because just yesterday a woman and her daughter barely escaped their very small home because a lighter was left in a pocket of pants and dryer caught on fire. They lost their two golden retrievers and cats and the house is total loss.

[@MCNav-ns9ij]

That Alanis Morissette laundry room performance was the best thing ever! I am guilty of doing the exact same thing way too often. Brings back all the memories of belting out Jagged Little Pill songs haha

[@sarahmcgrath893]

I just solved our sock problem. I have 9 kids. I had the same problem with the same color as my 14 yo wears 13 in men’s and my 3 year old wears 10 toddler. Anyway, it was a nightmare sorting the sizes. Anyway every kid gets a different color. Found a 50 pack on Amazon that is for my middles that all wear the same size. Then grey, white, and black for my oldest kids. I have 4 boys that are that size so I did one long black and one short black pack. Anyway they each have a lingerie bag with a zip tie to hang near the dirty clothes hamper. When full, they zip and run it through the wash. They have another empty that they put back in their room and they leave clean, dry socks downstairs on a hook so they can grab em and go

[@SharaLee60]

Hi, amazing video! I was crying with you when you were telling the stories about your girls. I had those with my 4! 2 girls & 2 boys! I had them within 6 yrs & now they are 52, 51, 49 & 47. So I do understand, like wanting more babies, but then they are a lot of work. I remember when my oldest was old enough to stay up a little longer & so we could talk about things it was so nice to be able to do that with him! We still are very close today! Thanks for sharing! Have a great week! ♥️☺️🫂🐾🦉🧵🪡🖌🎨🖼📚✨️

[@vintagechick]

You can’t go wrong with theater arts and choir it’s a great confidence builder no matter what path they take in life ❤

[@jenniferferreira9061]

Avelina’s performance was fantastic. Thank you for sharing.❤❤❤❤

[@skaerup]

My daughter (12) does choir and gymnastics, and I tear up every time I see her performances 🥰 my son is 14 and seeing him become more and more grown up is just so precious! He still has much to learn, of course, but I so enjoy just talking to him about current events and the world, and hearing his views on everything. Kids are magic, man! ❤

[@ceciliakopecky]

I love that you talk about motherhood so much . I’m always thinking about time and how quick it goes and want to make memories ! My oldest is 18 and our youngest is almost 1 years ! I can’t even begin to explain how my heart feels about life and my kids

[@ericacherichello2862]

Agree!!!! The dark cabinets are way harder to keep clean than the white!!! Especially in the kitchen! Love spending time with you Kim.

[@jillmelton71]

You are my favorite. I’m so happy for you. Can’t wait to watch all the shopping decorating and fun. ❤

[@crawleyr4919]

Omg!!!!!! Avelina AMAZED ME!!!!! I even teared up for you!!! You know I follow Scott Adams and his podcast every morning and he has talked for years about how important it is to become immune to getting embarrassed. I have now for years congratulated my daughter when ever some thing happened at school that made her completely embarrassed, uncomfortable etc… it’s a super power when our kids can learn to not let embarrassment affect them were to be immune to it because that’s where the guts and grit come to fill in. 🙌🏽

[@kathieeurton9021]

The dryer is venting into the wall cavity, unless they rerouted to the outside somewhere. Check outside for vent.

[@sarahramirez8011]

Woo hoo..getting all moved in!

[@Taytaysp9841]

Your children are beautiful and talented. I used to get the same way when I went to my daughter's performance when she was little. Now I get to see her daughter do the same thing I actually cried when I saw my granddaughter perform.

[@heatherj1267]

I have said it before but my favorited videos are the cleaning and organizing as I find you funniest when cleaning and decluttering... thanks for the fun hour

[@SusieQZee]

Same! Such great company when I do my own around the house happenings! 😊

[@hello_danielle]

You are one of the few people I “follow” who I actually feel like we’re friends lol you’re so authentic,fun and unapologetically you that I feel like you’re a real person lol

[@meeganvs1636]

Your daughter 🥹My mama heart is bursting. My last baby is graduating high school this year. Oh how I could go back and relive all these moments. Time is surely a thief. Thanks for sharing your families moments it always triggers a special memory of my own kids( or should I say (kidults). Wow! I remember your sweet kiddos little hands grabbing things from your grocery hauls in your old house. They have grown up so much.

[@karenbomar5074]

I love your videos! You are a true fake kinda gal and I love that about you. You make my heart happy watching you. I am a mom of 3 adult kids and 5 grandkids. Enjoy your life now , it goes by in a heartbeat 💓 beat. I still miss when my kids were little so watching my grandkids now is precious. Your videos bring back memories. Your home is beautiful and so is your family

[@teubank7357]

I have an idea for the hallway walls... Get pics of each of you at the same age. I would do poster size because those walls are huge but you can choose whatever size. Just make sure each pic is the same size. Minimal frames because you don't want the frames to get the attention. Your kids will love seeing all of you at the same stage of life. Just an idea. Totally love the videos. You get me through my week. All of your kids are amazing in so many ways. Lots of talent to be proud of for sure. My hubby's family had a fire when he was little and they lost everything. He is still scarred by that and he stays on all of us about everything. So thankful for him and his loving heart. Thanks so much for all you do! I so appreciate you!!!

[@debrajarnagin7101]

I love when people like you guys who need things and they get them and appreciate what they get. It makes me happier than the chic who gets her 4th Birkin bag

[@KathleenCanada7]

Wainscoting is I think the word you were looking for to do in your new hallway in the addition. We did it in our living room and we love it. The walls are painted pale grey and the wainscoting is white.

[@amber9307]

Ive never felt that more than when you were talking about motherhood. Im NOT over here ballin my eyes out or anything. 😅😭❤

[@thewadsquad]

It's just so many emotions all at once!!

[@maritzaroman2725]

In the hallway you can do a gallery wall with pics of the kids. Matching frames. Like pick an age and select pics of every kid at that age. Just a thought. Happy for you how everything is coming together. You should be proud of yourself for all you do!

[@patriciakelly2714]

It was lovely seeing your children. I’m so glad they’re doing well. I feel for you with all the work you’re having to do. I’ve been there, and the years go so fast. Give yourself time to do the things you want to do. Xxx

[@tinamenard4365]

Oh my word, avelina's poem was fantastic and her reading of it was perfect and of course icing on the cake😂 And Kim you always make me laugh in your videos You're such an upbeat person. It is on one hand to see how wonderful our kids grow into the person that they are but it's also sad when you look back at pictures or videos and realize the time has gone so fast. Thank you for sharing this with us❤

[@radhasircar8558]

I watch your videos every single night before😴 bedtime. Thanks for being so cheerful and positive. It is so heartwarming and fun to watch all your content. God bless you always ❤

[@carolfinn4027]

So fun seeing the new things at last!!

[@memphis2375]

Thank you for being a friend Kim! ❤❤❤❤

[@tammilow]

I used to put the children’s initial on the bottom of their socks where it didn’t show. I also had to do mine because I had three little girls. It made sorting so much easier.

[@brookefrazier1090]

Kim you're such an incredible momma! Your balance of this is hard and holy crap i have the best kids ever is so beautiful to watch! Thanks for being an amaaaazing example of motherhood! 😍🥹

[@alexaclark6786]

I’m glad that I am not the only one with the Jagged Little Pill album in my head lately.

[@sherriegilbert4761]

Awesome video Kim. You know your children are so awesome because you are awesome!

[@tamekadavis9051]

Good morning and happy Saturday thanks for sharing your ❤

[@marianramirez22]

My brother passed away a month ago. The only thing helping get me through the days are your videos. Thank you for being a friend. 🫶🏼

[@dwynn57]

I know that it is like, 70's and 80's but what about a border at the top of the hallway? or I think what you were thinking about was a chair rail, or wainscotting! that would break up the walls. Or you could paper it, or maybe a mural! wouldn't that be fun! thanks for sharing! xoxo

[@nasusmumhome]

Hi Kim, for the hall near the girls rooms. Get a load of those photo frames that clip open and closed, and fill the with the kids art work. That way, the art work can be updated and displayed as mow pieces are produced. 😊

[@vickisturgill4792]

I agree with Alex. I check my lint trap ever load. Even with me doing that you would not believe how much lint was everywhere when I pull the dryer out . If you can’t remember make a sign you can not ignore. Be safe

[@melissavelasco5705]

Idea for the hallway: Have a cute line wire/string with mini clothespins. Then, as the kids do art, you have a place to display it. It's not on the fridge, temporary, and, to your point, "minimal effort, maximum reward."

[@dianazenobi2627]

Whenever my grandkids come they like to take baths. Although I don’t have a towel warmer, I always throw their towel in a hot dryer. They love it.

[@Edithlane]

When my kids or grandkids went outside to play in the snow it was very unusual. I put the clothes they were going to wear outside in the dryer. They gave them some extra warmth when they went out. The clothes they were going to wear when they came back in were heated up from the dryer also. Oh, sorry this is so long. When you live in Georgia it may snow once or twice a year. Or not at all.

[@charlenearmel8228]

Hey Kim, You are awesome. You're so down to earth. I enjoy your videos 😊. Glad you are finally getting the addition finished. Then making the original rooms new! Excited for you!!

[@mariabraun5877]

I love your Vids so much, your realness, your love and dedication. Avalina did so great

[@Chelbsn]

Avalina did a wonderful job!!! Poetry meets Performance Arts💙

[@joyindrelie6715]

A little happy in our day! Thanks!

[@AirykaB]

Oh I would have been so mad about the dryer vent. Basically it has been pumping into your new wall. And yes, major fire hazard.

[@toughasamother4507]

Thank you Kim, your energy is infectious.. I have so much to do today and starting my morning with you is be far my favorite part of the day! ❤ so excited for all the decorating and everything that comes with the new addition 😁🥰 it’s about time they got it finished! ❤ and talking about your babies growing up! My youngest and last is 6.. I am 43 and he is growing so fast, definitely bitter sweet, love to see the person he is becoming, but sad to see my baby growing so fast! ❤

[@ceciliakopecky]

Thank you for bringing back my childhood ! I was neive also to the lyrics but knew all the words!! Crazy when you think about it ! Music isn’t what it used to be !

[@WAMama84]

For the hallway wall…maybe take all the kids art you found in your desk and create a gallery wall? You can use different mismatched frames etc and change out the art as needed:)

[@kellycrowl1500]

Love your sentimental mom side! Totally watch your every post & always anxiously awaiting your next post!❤❤❤❤ Thanks for sharing your upbeat attitude, sense of humor and day to day fun life!❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@noreensingh1427]

Omg I love love the clip of Meredith, I feel that will be a true classic clip insert. She is so adorable ❤ Can't wait to see more of the rooms as you put them together. So excited for you, and man...the headaches it took to get here! Sending good vibes for the next project.

[@AfterWhiteMountain]

About washing the socks, you could get every kid a laundry bag. Let them put their socks in those and you can just wash the bags with socks in the washing machine and after that, put them in the dryer. That way you don’t have to sort them afterwards.

[@Liberal_From_Prairies689]

Saturday already? 🎉 Around the house happenings never end with Kimberly Whisk. 😃 🏠

[@christiegodfrey7756]

Talking about how fast kids grow up couldn’t be more true!! I have an adult daughter and a teenage daughter and I swear it was yesterday they were babies! But one plus to kids growing up is grand babies!!! I have a 21 month old granddaughter and 6 month old grandson and it’s amazing!!!

[@becsaw5268]

🤣🤣🤣 Alanis Morissette yes! I wish she would go on tour. Kim cracks me up and at this point in my life she's the only KZbinr I keep up with. Kim keeps it real❣

[@pauleengould998]

I spend over 46 minutes watching your video and it feels like 5!!! Just love my time with you and I am so thrilled you bought the white mirror and the blue chair ❤

[@lisahoffmeister1781]

Your kids are so talented! Maybe you can hang a long piece of wood on the hallway wall, so that they have a space to hang up their art.

[@JamieMarieKY]

Oh my goodness, she did so great on her poetry reading! You should be proud!

[@kaedee13]

I burst out laughing when Avalina shoved her face into the cake! That was so funny! 😂 With my 3 children's socks, I used to get them to fold them together when they took them off to keep the pairs together, and then I would pin the toes of the pairs together with baby safety pins and then hang them up. I hated sorting socks! It worked very well I must say. Kinda saved my sanity lol.

[@MommaLousKitchen]

My Mom said ballin them stretches them out ... But me too lol😅 no pins, just balls

[@amaz21]

The new hallway seems like a great place to hang the kids' artwork... a picture rail with hanging hooks to easily swap it out and personalize the space (without taking up a ton of space)

[@theworkstruths4528]

You are always such a joy! 💕

[@lizzyJfried]

You could get some large framed pictures of each child to hang in your hallway. I like getting ours from Smallwoods. 💕

[@cherylduncan5158]

You are so much fun to watch! You always make me smile ❤

[@barbarapeterson8030]

HAPPY SATURDAY Kim and family! Thanks for all the things. WAITING to see how you decorate. STTB 2XS

[@quiltea56]

HI Kim you make my heart smile. You could put your family pictures on that long hallway wall. They would look great there. Have a wonderful day. Blessings to you

[@braidenr86]

Alanis is actually touring! I’ve got tickets this year and I can’t wait. ❤

[@ThriftandSip]

Avalina did so good! I totally get the mom emotions. My youngest just turned 5 and its so sad to know I don't have a baby anymore but then also so nice to be able to just watch them play at the park and not have to chase them around. Love getting my motivation from you Kim!

[@angelaturner8722]

Again I say you're very authentic and that's so appreciated. Thank you! I would place art in those walls. Wait to place something more permanent perhaps in the future when you have given some thoughts to it. Art can always be taken out but permanent features might not be so easy to remove.

[@berncass21]

I just love you spirit, energy and personality.❤❤❤
