SETTING UP THE NEW HOUSE / UNPACK WITH ME / HOMEMAKER LIFE

[@sandrasmith3451]

Kimmie, in the midst of the chaos in our world, it is so comforting to watch your daily life!❤️ thank you.

[@shesinherapron]

Thank you Sandra

[@Sheywh12]

Sandra I totally agree!! My house is a wreck with the garden and the fall planting needing to be done!!

[@catdreaminginthesun6901]

Absolutely agree!!

[@wandarios1711]

I agree ❤️🌺

[@LifesLittleThingz]

Yes! Agree!!

[@Cynthia2v]

We downsized 18 months ago, and We are still unpacking and rearranging stuff due to a cancer diagnosis, surgery, chemo, and more surgery. Now, one year cancer free, life is good, even in these crazy times because our Father is still in charge and watching over us. That is the most comforting feeling to know I don’t do anything on my own. Glad you are getting settled in before the kids return to school. Blessings for a great school year.

[@shesinherapron]

Congrats!!!!!

[@donnastratton8397]

Awesome you are doing better!

[@nikkinuna4424]

Cynthia Willis congratulations 🥳 x

[@Cynthia2v]

Thank you all!

[@rachelschuble6333]

I love the kitchen simply because it gives me old school She’s in Her Apron vibes! Something about the wood cabinets, black stove and those countertops. I’m so excited for y’all to get the opportunity to have a lovely home AND be saving and watching for your just right spot!!

[@shesinherapron]

I thought the same thing!

[@moonmade1096]

Yes it does!

[@linneylou]

Yes! Me too!

[@nancyschaecher2548]

So much progress! I’m 71 and amazed at your energy and willingness to just tackle what is in front of you. I’ve been in my home for 48 years and know I will eventually need to move. What a monumental task! And you’ve been such a model for the rest of us. Thanks. Looks great.

[@shesinherapron]

Thank you

[@Leggo-Of-My-Draco]

It’s St. Patrick’s Day so OF COURSE we’re having corned beef & cabbage, potatoes, dyed green deviled eggs & rainbow cupcakes! So excited, this is my favorite holiday! 😁

[@eileenkillen1481]

Kimmy my heart goes out to you, I moved 3 time's in 18 months, it's no joke mentally. Go easy on your self and Ask for help!!! Blessings to you and your family every day honey. X

[@kristenmccann7991]

I started watching your videos when I became a new mom and was blessed with my 2 stepchildren. I needed all the help I could get. My step kids are on their own now and my little one is 7. Thank you for helping me grow as a mom.

[@sherifreeman9022]

When we moved to a smaller place, I took 4 zippered notebooks, bought cd covers from Wal-Mart that came 4 to a page & put all our dvds in & recycled the covers. I labeled each notebook dvds, kids dvds & Christmas dvds. The only ones I didn't put in the books were sets like Star Wars, the Lord of the Rings & our Christian, Sight & Sound theater ones. We saved SO MUCH space & it easy peasy to flip through the pages. They're all stored in a 12 x 12 cloth storage cube. Thought might a a good idea for your craft, games, dvd closet.

[@annecaunce]

I don't think most people realise how debilitating anxiety can be. My 26 year old daughter suffers from chronic anxiety and I've just had to give up my job to care for her full time. I hate feeling so powerless to help. You should be very proud of yourself for pushing through and setting such a good example. And I also wanted to say that I've adopted your saying of progress over perfection and it's really helped me to stop being so hard on myself if I don't meet my daily goals, so thank you. Xx

[@moonmade1096]

Thank you for bringing us along on this journey with you, Kimmy! Ever since you talked about "progress, not perfection" a few years ago, I have lived by it, and it has saved my sanity! Sending love to you and yours! Also, your home is looking wonderful! Amazing job!

[@tiffanyaloudat7145]

I am watching this as I clean the fridge and unpack the groceries. Thank you for sharing your life with us. Much love.💖

[@joanmarkiewicz3042]

Your food room is quite amazing. You should be so prouder. If I did that I would keep walking in & admiring. My favorite room in your new home! Joan, NY

[@HaulandCo]

After you guys moved last year.. we sold our home and downsized. It is such a great feeling! But oh MY GOSH you think your kids have a lot of stuff when they are little, but these grown up kids have so much stuff they still want us to keep! :) Love ya friend. Tam

[@donnastratton8397]

I love the multi day longer video! We are in the midst of painting the inside of our house and getting all the childhood belongings of our adult daughters to them in their homes. I know the feeling of having stuff everywhere. Progress! Thanks Kimmie.

[@CindyKinney]

Hi Kim. Isn't it ALWAYS a little bit more than what we walk into a grocery store for? The struggle is real! It's coming along. You've worked hard and it shows. The place is so pretty. I'm anxious to see the complete tour when you're ready. Take care and be well.

[@fortheloveofhome7824]

I needed some motivation to cook. It has only been a couple weeks since moving but I haven't been motivated. Thanks for sharing. I'm so excited for your future goals. We just became 100% debt free after focusing on paying off my six figure student loan debt over the past 2.5 years. We have lots of new family goals and are also in a temporary living home. You definitely helped inspire me to become a stay-at-home mom and change habits. It helped so much! Keep on sharing your light. I'm am so happy I get to hold my babies each day and have so much gratitude for all that I have. ❤️

[@jennifertalley4988]

Try finding a misto oil sprayer. It’s refillable with whatever oil you like. Turns any oil into a cooking spray.

[@lindahawkins5983]

When you need a break, blow some bubbles, yes, the kid bubble blowers. Works wonders for me, Chase Miss Paige around the kitchen. God bless you all in your new home!

[@sandramullen7804]

What a fantastic basement apartment.. I know I keep saying it. But it really is. Its a great time to get rid of stuff that we all just accumulate. You have lots of cupboard space and neuks and crannies. I love it. 😘 Looking forward to seeing all when you are done. 🇬🇧 🇬🇧 🇬🇧

[@rose281396]

I don’t know how you are doing it during this crazy time in our lives. The stress and anxiety would make me just lose it! Bless your heart, it all looks great and I hope you love it!!

[@ericad3850]

Hi Kimmie! I love watching your videos. I'm 33 years old and I live with my dad and our 14 (soon to be 16!) parrots and my cat. You totally motivate me to do more cooking, clean better, etc. I really appreciate you and your channel!

[@TainaRodriguez1]

It's so great when you finally get areas completed & organized. Another idea for the potatoes that we do is add the eggs scrambled into the potato skillet & cook it with the potatoes (once they're soft), add cheese & serve. So good.

[@dionnefrancis-brown1533]

The most annoying thing about moving is, when you don’t realise how much stuff you have until you move and when you do move into your new home, you spend several hours unpacking for one room and getting things right. When you organise things the way you want in that room you do a little victory celebration because you think it’s all over until you turn around and see several boxes that needs to be unpacked for the rest of the house. This is when you say oh for goodness sake and your mood changes.

[@mildredbosque7147]

@Onion Face you are my kind of people..Lol. I must totally organize the basics first then move on to the least important. Must see organization on some areas and get it out of the way so my mood doesn't take my energy and motivation away cause once I get a mess going to organize if I see to much mess I don't finish anything.

[@bettylou3709]

I have started using yoga mats in my laundry room and pantry. I love having the padding under my feet and you can get some really pretty patterned mats.

[@itisme8459]

Such a blessing your family can help you out of a financial situation. Everything looking so lovely.

[@amyj8199]

I stopped watching your videos for a while, but I noticed you’re more happy in these new ones. I too have anxiety, so its good to see you doing well.

[@shannonrichert7814]

Took us 6 months to reorganize and get our new house set up. Love to see we ate not the only ones who struggle with moves.💖

[@nicholsonks]

I love the scenery when you're out even just walking through the parking lot -- wow!! The vistas are stunning near you!

[@carolcrudder7864]

I give you so much credit! I would go bonkers if I had to move like you did. I recently moved and it was all I could do to get things packed. Good luck in your “new house” and your new endeavors.

[@daisygirrl1234]

You get used to cooking on a glass cook top at first for me, it was strange but after realizing how insanely easy it is to clean you’ll love it!!!!

[@chrishingson3064]

It's so great to see a mother-in-law and daughter-in-law working together so well amen what a blessing

[@memoriesembraced7896]

I took all our dvds and put in a huge binder to eliminate the boxes and trying to find where to put them. Space saver for sure

[@Clutterbug]

I'm so happy for you! Congratulations on your new home

[@shesinherapron]

Thanks friend!

[@akgram6599]

Sometimes I make a kielbasa hash by making the fried potatoes with veggies and add diced kielbasa towards end and top with some shredded cheese and serve withe eggs and biscuits for breakfast or with a salad for quick dinner.

[@sherriwilliams6963]

Coming together nicely! You all are doing a great job. Just think, you will be all settled in before the holidays. Can't wait.

[@lindseybsmith]

Do a search on Amazon for a DVD binder. I have a ton of movies like you. We took almost all of our DVD's out of their cases and into the binder and recycled all of the empty cases. A TON of space was left! 90% of our movies are in the binder! You could organize them alphabetically or by genre. Hope this helps!

[@lauragustafson900]

I do this for my kids too saves the constant “put it back” argument. Or me opening Gilmore Girls only to find Moana 😂

[@dianelabrecque4502]

It's so relaxing and calming to watch you cook supper. Thank you so much for doing these.

[@tdewtx]

I home canned turkey stew and corned beef hash. I took all the leftovers from prep, and added tomatoes and spices and created a vegetable soup

[@julieredlinger5191]

I appreciate your vulnerability with us. I am right there with you. We moved from city to city after being in our home for 15 years. I know that feeling of anxiety and being overwhelmed. It has been 3 weeks now in our new place and the down stairs is almost done. Room by room and routines. Yes -wish I had seen this sooner.

[@angelablack7946]

The “joys” of moving: unpacking. It looks good, Kimmy!

[@alison4610]

The wood trim in your new house is BEAUTIFUL!! It’s timeless and cozy.

[@brynb1325]

This is such a blessing! Enjoy your new home. It’s tough work organizing a new space but it is coming together beautifully.

[@ng3069]

bryn B It’s really none of our business if they’re “paying” or not! Seriously?

[@brynb1325]

N Glass umm....wow. I’m sorry that it was so offensive to you but I’m pretty sure she said it flat out in the first video about it. I was asking for advice. Not judging and not caring. I think it’s a true blessing to be able to save money for your future goals. I had a childhood that meant asking for help meant admitting defeat so I have a very tough time accepting any type of kindness. A box of muffins when we moved to a new neighborhood sent me into a tailspin bc I felt like I should cook something for her immediately to “repay”. I honestly was looking for advice for how to accept with gratitude without ruining the act of kindness. I’m sorry to Kim if my intentions were unclear.

[@brynb1325]

N Glass I just reread what I wrote and and can how if it is read without being in my head and the way I was asking...it can’t seem judgmental when I said “how do you accept without guilt?” 100% if you read it like I meant it...as a true question without anyyyyyyy malice or judgement behind it! Seeking advice. Not to shade or make a point or anything. I will delete the comment bc I would never want anyone to think those were my intentions

[@cowtownjanet4450]

I’m praising you for your “moving work efforts”. It’s a very hard job to keep at it along with the normal tasks that must take place AND keeping a sweet spirit. Your doing a great job❣️

[@TheSmdl]

I have those utensils ceramics also. I love them. You have so much storage in that apartment. It’s amazing. I know it’s not like your house but it is amazingly big for an apartment. My mom has a ton of dvds. She created a list and sorted then alphabetically and by genre. When do you homeschool in trying to organize your new place and cooking at the same time? We are new to homeschooling (since April) and I having a hard time to balance doing my house and cooking like before. We spend all morning homeschooling.

[@TheweddingexpertIe]

Wow! You made amazing progress! The pantry looks amazing and I love the ‘longer’ dining table! Looks so grand!

[@darleneroberson8146]

Hi Kimmie! I really love your videos because it seems that you have a reason for the things you do. Your voice tone is calm & sweet sounding. Congrats 🍾🎊🎈🎉 on your new 🏡 home. It has a lot of space & storage- so beautiful😍!!! Just take your time getting everything put away & decorated, so that you don’t get too overwhelmed. Take does power naps 😴 as needed. Thanks for sharing your beautiful 🏡 home. I am known as “Blackdoll”👩🏾 God Bless You & Yours!!!🙌🏾

[@sandybayes2252]

Kimmie, Great idea for corn on the cob, cooler cleaned, dozen ears corn cleaned . Pour boiling water over the ears. Close the cooler. 30 minutes later it’s perfect 🤷‍♀️no peaking before 30 minutes are up. End of summer celebration!!!! Make corn /set it aside Rest Of the fixings Yummy 😋 Hope you try this and share with your friends and family ❤️

[@bardsbabe]

Glad you remember to Center yourself with your routine! Yay Kimmie! Congrats and enjoy this time surrounded by family as you two work towards your new home in the future!

[@jerrijones986]

Pampered Chef used to have a spray bottle that you can pour oil from the big bottle. I have one. I use it all the time, just to stop using the spray bottle cooking sprays.

[@shesinherapron]

Oh that’s right! Thank you!

[@christinek9011]

Anxiety?? You are such a success!! I'm older than you, have only 2 kids (grown but still here), and I always learn so much from stopping in to your channel. Pray, trust, and fear not!! Look forward to following your continuing adventures...best wishes in the new (temporary) home! : )

[@ginawhittaker2585]

I love that apartment, it’s really spacious. I just wanted to say your doing a great job, just remember one thing at a time and eventually you will get there. I also get very anxious and I try to keep that in mind.

[@shesinherapron]

Thank you

[@blsdmomof4]

What a lovely home. It's coming along nicely! I can't wait to see it finished!

[@debraoster8952]

You look so happy. I think God put y’all there with family for a reason. This world is a little uncertain right now and being together is important. The apartment is so efficient and flows. Keep decluttering. 🤗

[@rachelball5620]

I sit up and watch your videos when I'm feeding my newborn at night. We love it. Thanks for making such relaxing, easy to watch content! Xx

[@shesinherapron]

Thank you Rachel and congrats on your new addition.

[@amyvpierce]

No matter what you post, I love it!! You were the first KZbinr I ever subscribed to and you are still my favorite! Thank you for all you do and for just being you! ♥️

[@brendachandler4560]

Everything is looking great! Moving and settling in can be overwhelming, but, you are powering through!

[@Clutterbug]

So jealous of your pantries! So much storage

[@amandakirby977]

Your new place looks fantastic!! I love have real you are in videos and showing us the process as you get settled in! Those wood doors throughout are stunning!!

[@allisonbrown8613]

Believe it or not, I have thrown away 3, yes THREE, Potato peelers by accident. XD Oops. Good Morning! Thanks for the love and motivation. I hope your anxiety stays leveled out

[@shesinherapron]

Thank you!

[@mandaleemilly6367]

I’m so glad I’m not the only one who does this lol! I’m on my 4th peeler now.

[@jessicamaughmer3442]

For your oil, buy a "misto". You put your own oil in and then pump the lid to get the spray. We LOVE ours!

[@LifesLittleThingz]

It always feels good to get rid of stuff. I need to start purging again. I want to move but after seeing all the work your doing, I’m doubting it. Lol!!!! Everything is coming together great!!

[@CynthiaVicario]

Kimmie haven’t finished your video but felt strongly to pause it and say we’re praying for you . Everyone please lift Kimmie up in prayer for peace and endurance. 🙏🏽 We all know how moving is exhausting no matter how well you plan it out . . You have an army of support lifting you up in prayer . God bless you girl. 🙏🏽🙋🏻‍♀️🏡👍🏽💜

[@nannygeorginasmith3938]

You certainly deserve your healthy snacks. You have all worked so hard. Yay for a 💡 at the end of the tunnel. Thanks for sharing 👍😎

[@vickiv354]

You should get a DVD binder and just get rid of the boxes. Total game changer and space saver.

[@ssh0111]

Glad you are getting settled in! Love the background music!

[@kathyp3494]

I love the music too

[@christineflores7797]

Looking good!!!! Ugh moving stinks BUT purging is the BEST and organizing takes time & so satisfying.

[@Angie83]

That food looks so good.That is How us southern women cook.Glad to see that the move went well.Lots of love from Arizona.

[@jojoply]

I bought DVD holder albums and put my movies in abc order. Recycled the cases. Takes up major less space and honestly easier to find.

[@allisonmiller3148]

Joy Plyler & Co. we did the same thing in our home and it’s such a great solution for families that enjoy having DVDs of their favorite movies, but not much space to store them!

[@AlmaMartinezTamblyn]

Silicone in cooking spray?!😱 omg now I will definitely look at the ones we have and buy different ones if they do have silicone in it. I would have never thought to even look at ingredients in the cooking spray. Thanks for the info.

[@Alia16829]

Hey kimmy i recently got married and u inspire me to be an organised home maker and time manage between my fulltime job cleaning cooking laundry and not wasting my fresh produce! Pls give us tips on how u iron and ironing tutorials and like how to iron fast and efficiently plssss

[@sylviaacosta7883]

You are such a warrior when it comes to moving!!! Props to you super women!!!

[@chrishingson3064]

Watching you brings me just so much peace I enjoy it so much may God bless you and your family

[@tleigh878787]

If you get a Misto spray bottle, not only will you not have to worry about the ingredients in your spray oil, you can also put in whichever oil you want. You'll save money by not buying the spray cans, and it's a more eco friendly option!

[@sallycroft2191]

Your doing great, Kami. It takes thought and hard work getting rooms sorted and settled. It is looking lovely.

[@kettleisalwayson]

Kimmy you give us all so much inspiration but can I give you a little tip. When doing sheet and duvet sets put the sheet and duvet cover into their matching pillow case (unless they are going straight on to the bed) before putting into your linen closet then you dont waste time looking for individual items when making beds. Cant wait for the pantry tour your fancy tins on the top shelf look gorgeous

[@amycrawford9726]

Glad to see you all moved in praying for you and your family

[@eidemiller1]

Your new home is absolutely beautiful. Looks like you all have a lot of space. Congratulations on your new home.

[@CynthiaVicario]

Oh my gosh Kimmie . Who cares about the meal plan right now for us ! Just take us along for the ride as you unpack and settle in . We’re so excited for you and your home is huge. 👏🏽👍🏽🏡🙏🏽🥰

[@hippiecowgirlfarm]

I love how the pantry turned out. Moving is definitely stressful, we're going through it right now too. Getting back to a routine is great, I'm trying to do the same.

[@haleyjulian2659]

I'm right in the middle of moving across town and these moving/settling in videos are giving me hope!

[@sammia4227]

You are such a bright light in my day Kimmy. Thank you for the video. God bless.

[@INhoosiergirl]

This home gives me your old home vibes and I'm loving it 💜💜💜🤗🤗🤗 I think it's the cabinets/doors etc. Happy Homemaking Girl 💜🤗💜

[@kristenevans4557]

It must feel so good to go through everything and purge down. Besides being a heck of a lot of work, I mean. I haven’t moved in 27 years! I think I need to purge as if I WERE moving. You’ve done so much, you should be proud of all you’ve accomplished. 👍🏻

[@cjeanetteful]

My daughter has the ikea cabinet. We switched out the knobs, easier to open and they hold up netter.

[@barbarajohnson7782]

Good luck with the unpacking, it’s a job. I love your new kitchen! Can%to wait to see the finished house tour. God Bless.

[@MckenziLakyn]

Garlic Parmesan pork chops, green beans & four cheese risotto. Your dinner looked SO yummy. Delicious summer din din

[@suziemiller6712]

Kimmy, thank you for who you are and for your videos.

[@sondramiller9104]

You are amazing. Your house is coming together wonderfully. We had bean burritos for dinner and butter pecan ice cream for desert.

[@tiggz1468]

If your ok with taking them out of their original boxes and cases.. I put all my dvds/Blu-rays in a big cd binder. I also put all my board games into mesh zipper bags with the game names that I cut off the box taped on and they fit file-like in a basket.. I seen this on TikTok...lol (The mesh bags sets were on Amazon). I went from a bookcase full to a shelf! 😊

[@madeleincoetzee5636]

Hi, looking great. Yeah, can't wait for Thursday.. Moving is a lot of work...

[@julieredlinger5191]

To organize my dvds - I bought photo storage boxes and they fit perfectly. Then I label each box by genre. This idea may help? They fit on most shelves.

[@jackienjoevienneau4262]

Everything coming together beautifully. Your doing great Kimmy, going through things again now that you're moved, awesome. Have a fantastic day. 🌈

[@aprilinalabama9074]

You will get it all done, just takes time and patience. Hang in there! You can do this 😀👍

[@kimberlys2598]

If you put dvds In cd case it helps with storing

[@rachalnocchi5600]

I'm feeding a bunch of people tonight as I am feeding the Elder's at my church! I'm doing a big 'ol crockpot of potato and ham chowder. I'm adding some bell peppers and corn to it as well. I'll whip up some quick dinner rolls to go along with it. Making white chocolate chip chocolate cookies for whoever wants some!

[@rachalnocchi5600]

By-the-way, the cookies I'm doing are from your awesome suggestion to freeze them and bake them as needed! This has changed my cookie making in such a great way. Now I only bake up as many at a time as I need! Keeps portion control in check! ;)

[@shesinherapron]

Yum!!!

[@hollyroam2988]

Love the pantry!!! If you don’t mind throwing away DVD cases, buy a DVD binder case ( easily found on Amazon in all sizes). Such a space saver!

[@cherylmarofke]

Moving is a lot of work, but everything is looking great! If I may offer a suggestion for DVD’s, I took all of mine out of their covers, and bought paper envelopes for cd/dvds, and put them in a CD box, that you can buy on Amazon. I just marked the name of the movies, and maybe a couple of actors or what type of movie they were on the envelopes. Takes up minimal space in the closet and is easy to take out to look for a movie!

[@shesinherapron]

Thanks for the tip!

[@ZoeShears]

Kimmy you are doing amazing. I had anxiety just watching, I have no idea how you must have been feeling. So yes way to go Kimmy you are amazing

[@blo1314]

If you got a few of those CD holder binders you could keep all the DVD's in them and possibly give yourself more space if you get rid of the DVD cases

[@heatherhandley7505]

Your content is so calming. Thanks for uploading!
