Weekly Reset! Car Clean Out, Costco Run, Meal Plan, Laundry For Days, Cleaning Up, & Mom Life!

Hey party people! Thanks so much for hanging out with me while I share with you this new weekly reset / around the house happenings! I was prepping for the week ahead! I cleaned out my car which was in desparate need of a cleaning, remember; judgement free zone over here. Everyone is in a different stage of life dealing with different circumstances and doing their best with what they have. this is my filthy car and I am sharing it to make other mamas with filthy cars feel less alone in their chaos. appreciate you ;-). haha I also did about 82 loads of laundry, and i meal planned for the week ahead with some succulent soup recipes I can't wait to try! I also did some cleaning and oh yes it was wentworth's birthday and he had his party the day before which was an awesome blast and everything he could have wanted... and yet we also took him out to eat lol it seems to be a tradition in our house to go out to eat on their birthdays so we do a lot of eating out in novemeber and december lol hope this gave you the motivation you need to get some stuff done around your house!!
Kim!

Happy Tuesday, Kim and Party people! May you be surrounded by positivity and kindness and find joy in spreading love and compassion.

[@candacelinville5749]

Happy Tuesday!! Have an amazing day! Hope you are well and I am thankful for your positivity and love. 💗

[@MrsAlmaTrumble]

@@candacelinville5749 thanks, you too friend. I'm doing pretty good dealing with a few health issues.

Same to you!

[@theresamcclure7333]

😂 you made my day… as soon as you opened the car door and said what your car doesn’t look like this? 😂😂 yes mine does.. aaah a mumma after my own heart.. life with kids…thanks Kim you are just a breathe of fresh air 😘😘🤩🤩

[@lisagrafton2529]

When our kids were young, as soon as we got home from anywhere, we had them look around their area, in the van, and take whatever doesn't belong, and put it in the trash, if it's trash, or the place the item normally "lives", inside the house! It takes practice and reminders, and "incentives" for two weeks of not forgetting, and I wasn't stuck cleaning the van! We also put cheap beach towels under their car seat, booster, or on the seat to sit on, to help preserve the seat leather or cloth! It works great!

[@christelleuys8805]

Kim you put happy in my day, every time! Thank you.

[@jodimaranville]

My car is your car and it makes me feel so much better because I feel you are are on top of so much and such an amazing woman and mother and still have mess and you help me give myself grace ❤❤❤

[@ThisCraftyLife]

Girl I MISS Florida winters. I moved to Sweden this summer and loved every second of it until we fully SKIPPED fall! By mid October we had snow and it hasn't stopped. Currently there is 1 to 1.5 feet of snow outside. You inspired me in your last video to make soup that I refer to as "everything but the kitchen sink" soup. It was delicious but I don't think I could recreate it as I chaos cook (no measurements) and just let my soul decide lol.

[@catherineb5066]

Happy Birthday Wentworth ! 🥳🎂 🎈 Happy Tuesday party people ! Happy 6th night of Hanukkah🕎 Only 13 more days till 😱🎅 🤶 🎄

[@JaS-vc5bi]

My husband calls our car a portable restaurant with no bus boy! LOL

[@paulaphillips160]

Omg! The watermelon flavor in liquid IV is my absolute favorite!!! Great flavor…highly recommend! 😊

[@krystalgardner1109]

We love liquid IV. The watermelon is great. My 11 year old loves the golden cherry. We try to get a box everytime we go to the grocery store. I just pretend like I have no idea how much they cost. My toddler loves the true lemon brand

[@nadinekore6308]

"We just throw snacks at him" 🤣🤣🤣

[@annarowsell6298]

Happy Wednesday Kim. Love your videos. You are such a joy to watch. Sending ❤ from Australia.

[@FoxyOxymoron]

i Worked at CB for 15 years, I was a waitress, a backup cook (like i cooked all the long term stuff, biscuits, meatloaf, hash brown casserole, fried apples, mac and cheese etc. roast beef, gravy, soups, stews, etc. For the meatloaf, ask them to grill it on the girll for it will be a little crispy but it will be warm and ensure it's well done. Also, there is ketchup inside the meatloaf so it has a pinky red tint. much like their pork breakfast sausage, the way it is smoked makes it pink and I love their breakfast sausage SO much.

[@jonap5740]

Happy birthday Wentworth! Kim, I, too, found the conditioner disappearing, not so much the shampoo. I asked the 10 year old at the time, and he cheerfully admitted that it made sliding around the tub a lot of fun when the water was almost all let out!

[@noelaly2948]

Happy Birthday Wentworth!

[@mintbutterfly10]

Not to be dramatic or anything….. but seeing another mom who has a pile of laundry and a messy closet is literally giving me the strength to carry on.

[@orietdiamond4185]

Happy Birthday, Sweet Wentworth 🎉! Kim, now you may have incentivised me to clean my car!:❤

[@louanngeauvreau-karry4631]

You put happy in my day!

[@christiegodfrey7756]

On my kids birthday I always make them what they want for dinner and dessert. My youngest daughter always picks the same thing, shrimp scampi, homemade Mac n cheese and creamed corn it’s an odd combination if you asks me but that’s what she wants. And all my kids always want pumpkin pie instead of a birthday cake. They all have summer birthdays so pumpkin pie seems weird to me but it makes them happy.

[@conniesmith3922]

Happy Birthday Wentworth! Kim, you are so busy that your brain can’t process it without forgetting something. Lol❤❤❤

[@Liberal_From_Prairies689]

🎉 Tuesday is here and so is Kimberly Whisk with another glimpse into mom life. Laundry, meal planning, Costco shopping, and cleaning out the car. Busy busy busy.

[@joleen1520]

Good morning friend I'm glad we get to clean together ❤

[@philhagls4276]

My car is a mess BUT I have a Christmas scent apple cinnamon going! 😂😂🎉🎉🎉🎉

[@londonblu615]

Hey Kim I enjoyed watching your grocery hall today. Just FYI it is strawberry season now it’s out of Plant city Florida. I’m in Palm Coast. I know you’re in the Tampa area but it is strawberry season in the winter in plant city. That’s where all the great strawberries come from locally in Florida there’s shipped around the world, but especially throughout Florida. Of course Driscoll‘s are number one but the plant city strawberries are sold a lot at the flea markets and they are fantastic , I hope you have a wonderful Christmas. You’re doing a great job of you. You have your hands full completely. I don’t know how you do it.! Merry Christmas my friend Shout out from Palm Coast neighbor 🎄👋🩶

[@melissamccoy7962]

:"IT'S LIKE DECORATING A DUMPSTER." I FELT THAT AND LAUGHED MY BUTT OFF! KIM, GIRL WE LOVE YOU!

[@christinecreasey2342]

Where I live in Australia the past few days have been 37c

[@CaliAnimalLover]

I do remember my kids refusing to put their “landing gear” down so I couldn’t put them down. Lol. Like, mom you’re not getting rid of me that easy!!

[@Hannah-ub1lq]

When I first read the name of your video, I thought it said, "Costa Rica run." I was thinking, "What is that? I don't know, but it sounds cool." 🙃😄😄

[@alecotton]

I cannot stand Bobby, so much mis information yet he keeps promoting his products that are sometime worse than what he bashes. Just eat what you like, eat in moderation be happy. 😊

[@shirlenemcgowan3851]

You are so right! So many people debunk everything he says! He is a fraud! Pushing his own products all the time.

[@elizabethvargas1438]

You do alot!!!!

[@GILLIANMOOR-ed9ii]

My daughters cars were dirty before the kids soooo just thought I let you know. You have a reason 😂😂

[@Rebecca-23]

Be careful with the diffuser by the TV, the moisture can get into the TV and mess it up , it happened to a friend of mine

[@omgyouguys]

11:52 - When the water gets too low, it kinda "burns" the oil. Happens to my diffuser too. :(

[@Pamela-gm5sx]

I'm in my sixties and I had 5 kids. I feel I didn't catch up with the housework until about a year after they all moved out... You're doing great mama!! Merry Christmas!! As my father would say blessings on you!! Pam

[@kathywolf6925]

Good morning Kim..Glad to be here with you. it is going to be a happy day and Love Your Videos! You are such a joy to watch.. God Bless🥰

[@joleen1520]

Happy birthday Wentworth🎉 enjoy your day buddy 🎂🦖🦕

[@kellieh1579]

The car was cracking me up! I’m 58 and have two kids in their 30’s. I remember those days of my car looking like a dumpster. 😂😂

[@patriciareyes929]

Happy Birthday Wentworth!! You’re growing into a handsome little boy!!! Kim, all of your children are so cute. I can’t believe you almost got food poisoning again from the same place. If that was me, I’d have to try to get my child to go somewhere else. I’m curious if the waiter told the chef your concerns about the way the food was cooked. Stay healthy, and The Wadsworth Family “ have a very Merry Christmas 🎄🎅🏻🤶

[@dawnross644]

I enjoy your videos….but, mercy generations later life is so different. There were 7 of us kids in my Dad’s 3 seat station wagon. We were never allowed to eat in the car. No judgement. But, back then Parents didn’t let you do a lot of things. We didn’t t have a ton of after school activities. Most ppl played an instrument, played baseball, football, dance, ballet, Girl Scouts & boys scouts, jump rope, etc…..just different. Moms didn’t work either. We were very creative w/ trees, stones/rocks, cardboard boxes, etc. just a different life. I enjoy them both. But, my heart aches for families struggling in this greedy era where everything is outrageously priced. I hope many learn thrifting that you share. So smart. The excess of things obtained there will save many thousands, if they head there, instead. Enjoy these days, they fly by.

[@CindyKinney]

While I was watching you clean out your car, I realized I was scrunching up my nose the whole time, but laughing hysterically. And when you said it would be like decorating a dumpster, I spewed coffee. You have absolutely no judgment or shame from this subscriber. I don't know how you do it all, but your children are healthy and happy and one day you will miss it all. OK, so maybe you won't miss the dirty vehicle...LOL...but you know what I mean.

[@joseedumont3231]

No Kim you are not paranoid.....the meatloaf was NOT cooked....yuk....at first I thought you showed a desert 😵‍💫 don't eat that!!

[@juliemoore6957]

That meatloaf looked raw!

[@breesaves]

Good to see another video! I love winter so much. Have you ever considered moving? Just curious! I could not deal with Florida heat lol

[@hikeandsee7621]

I'm not a fan of cracker barrels food, but I definitely like their store.

[@jaynecrews2778]

I dont know how people can only do one load a day to keep up with laundry. I have 5 people in my home. I do 2 loads in the morning before going to work and do 2-3 loads at night and then on Saturday and Sunday I feel I do at least 20 loads.😳

[@margaretmcmillen5538]

Guuuurrrrlll…those rubber floor mats lift out! Pull them out and hose them all down! Save yourself some time and get an even better result!👍🏻

[@mc5366]

Happy Birthday Wentworth!! the boys are getting so big!

[@irishgrlerin]

The OJ shrug and face....dead 😂 Same girl, same.

[@donna8212]

Happy birthday again, Wentworth 🥳🎂!!! Great video Kim! Meredith…so cute ☺️. Have a nice day today.🎄

[@helenalderman2055]

I love watching your sweet family! You're such a great Mom.

[@PatlynnMccourtney-bq1kn]

Cracker barrel needs Chef Gordon Ramsey to pay a visit lol I'm just saying

[@evem4876]

Kim u need to complain to the Mgr ..!! People can die from food poison! N if I were u , I wouldn't even eat there anymore , I would be to scared to ...😮

[@lucyroberts2800]

Why don’t you carry a bin in the car then make it one of the big kids jobs to bring it in on a Friday 😊

[@tamaralong-partei6129]

Sometimes the car isn’t the priority the baby is or the kids are other times that van makes its way to the top of priority with baby on hip. That’s your reality, but someday you’ll have time clean the corner and you’ll miss the days of cookies in the cup holders. Enjoy being a great mom, your kids will never remember the crumbs but all the time they spent as a family with mom.

[@mackenziemitchel6360]

You do so much! I've never had or seen dragon fruit before, how do you eat it? As it looks like you wouldn't eat the skin but it doesn't look like you can peel it either lol. Meredith helping you with the laundry was so cute ❤ I wish John's (my fiancée) kids helped me out with anything 🙄 more than half the time John doesn't even help out around the house either 😕 Thank God he only has two kids or otherwise I'd never be able to keep up 🤦‍♀️Also I love Eleanor's sweater that she had at Costco, do they make that in adult sizes? Lol. ❤

[@kimberlylamitie2869]

Get the breakfast at Cracker Barrel. 😢. Like pancakes or an omelette. Might be safer.

[@mariaolker]

That one has a lot of sugar. You should try LMNT

[@christinacross7342]

You are riding around just like me! Mom club! My van looks just like yours and I clean mine probably monthly.

[@sharonj7274]

Maybe take a pic of your grocery list then you have it with you...just a thought

[@michellegarneau7677]

Are you going to share any photos or video of Wentworth's birthday party?

[@jessicaerickson8813]

I love waking up on one of my busy days, drinking coffee while I watch you and getting in “Kim” mode to tackle my day!

[@strawberrycherrybaby]

Having your daughter write a poem about ramen is so smart! I’ll definitely be using that once my kids are able to write.

[@thewadsquad]

My kids make power point presentations often 😂 “I want to go out to eat” okay make me a power point on why we should go out to eat etc 😂

[@cariefrost2930]

You should have compalined to the wait staff in front of the kids. If you dont tell the staff about the crappy uncooked food the restaurant does not fix it or refund you.

[@BakingwithBecca10]

Yeah and the kids especially need to know it's OK to let people know when there's something wrong... -former restaurant owner (×4)

[@mackenzieengel4425]

🙋‍♀️ Team 17 gummy wrappers in the car over here 😂 Thanks for hanging out while I fold the laundry.

[@craft_crazy]

Love watching your vlog and listening to your stories. Huge respect for this lovely and beautiful homemaker ❤😊

[@christijordan3716]

You ALWAYS make me do LAUNDRY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! LOL

[@bluejackcat]

Thank you for normalizing the mom car life….. I need to show my husband who doesn’t seem to understand that this is in fact the normal for other people! The kids and I are not the only ones!!! Thank you for sharing (and motivating!)❤❤🚙🚙

[@angelastanley-wr6vp]

Beautiful family 😊 Loving your best lives ❤️ 😊

Your kids are so cute. Happy holidays Kim. ❤

[@chrmng1]

Yep, the northern people would be wearing shorts in Florida 😂 it's 28° where I'm at and a high of 40° today.

[@Cathy1223]

Our car doesn’t get that way because kids are grown! I know some of my kids’ cars make me uncomfortable 😮! Kids can be messy!

[@kathy2933]

Happy Birthday Wentworth 🎉🎂🎊❤️ Cracker Barrel 🤢🤢🤮Great video Kim. Where do you find the energy?! Thanks for putting a little happy in my day. 😍

[@quinnhen2325]

Watched a video of vintage recipes yesterday and the lady made a cold raspberry “soup.” She absolutely loved it. Maybe y’all would like that sometime when it’s warm outside. She drank it in a little glass. Sounded yummy. Tell a restaurant when the food is raw! That’s awful!!

[@lgibson0515]

Always here for a car clean out!! Soo much better!! 🎉❤🎉Love Costco haul! Happy birthday Wentworth! Tyfs!! Wolfgang is getting soo big!! Cuteness overload!! 🎉❤🎉 Wow?!? Really cracker barrel!!?? Bummer!! Hopefully didn't have to pay for it!!? & got a big discount!! No luck there!!??😢😮😢😮

[@nerdygirl857]

Was it really on the teal news channel that they were shutting all Cracker Barrels down? Like every one of them?..Don't get me started with how my car looks inside..ewe..all the time..

[@BakingwithBecca10]

Yes! I heard they were all folding in 2024.

[@mackenziemitchel6360]

I think the dessert soup will probably taste similar to a 'fancy' hot chocolate, at least that's what I'm thinking lol. Let us know how it tastes once you try it

[@aimee2234]

Thanks, Kim! Watching late is my new jam. Miss you and the party people. Remember YOU are WANTED and LOVED! xoxo

[@kerribaker82]

Yay!! It's the most wonderful time of the day/week 😂 love rest videos!! Xx

[@amberrenee9048]

My husband and I went to a restaurant here in our town and the first time was really good. We wanted to go back and I ordered the same sandwich I got before. This one had a long hair in it so I sent it back. They sent out another one with a dead fly in it. We said okay we won't eat here anymore. A few months later we went back for drinks with friends and I had a fly in mine. I think they are out to get me lol 😅 needless to say we haven't been back.

[@ellennewth6305]

You are waaaay more together than you think you are, Kim! I love how you meal plan each week. Can't believe the condition of your van after carting the kids to all their activities ... I would just stand there crying, but you cleaned it brilliantly! Awesome that your family is participating in the school food drive!!!

[@cindywaldrop4287]

I’ve made 3 MFF recipes this week! Loving the variety!

[@slapstickdome9797]

I have to make another comment. This is the best vlog, for some reason I cannot stop thinking about your resourcefulness, Kim. Happy Birthday, Wentworth as well!!!

[@krystalgardner1109]

My car is disgusting always. We even clean it out often at least weekly. We have a dog and it's covered in dog hair and our hair. I have black interior in my van and we are a family of blondes 🙄

[@lyrrehsdc1221]

Love watching you do laundry!!!!

[@kristinakenner809]

My husband and I love going to garage sales and last week we found 10 boxes of those exact liquid IVs for $2 each. We bought them all!!! They are my favorite. I love drinking them since I'm nursing and it keeps hydrated and regular 😅 I have like a years supply of liquid IV now for $20

[@rhondaking4971]

Happy birthday Wentworth!🎉. I completely understand back to back birthdays! Mine is January 2nd, one daughter's is January 27th. The next daughter is February 1st and my son is February 23rd! It was nice when they were younger because we could do all their parties at the same time. But yeah things changed as they got older! I can tell you why those strawberries are so good! They come from my hometown, Santa Maria, California! You should see the ones that we buy at the roadside stand! Some of them are like 3 inches around! Yummy!

[@shariwagner3002]

👵💜 hi Wentworth and Happy Birthday! I think if someone was sitting in the donut shop eating 76 munchkins people would notice more than those drinking the equivalent sugar. Ha ha I have made baked ziti, meatloaf and split pea soup during these cool days in Boca Raton. When my children were little, I did good to get the house decorated. Some people had reindeer antlers or a tree in their front grill. Rudolph noses were put somewhere, I don't remember where.I cleaned my car if I knew there was a possibility my first husband would be driving it. One reason he was first.Ha ha I hate all parking lots in FL.👵💜🎄🎄🎅🎁

[@crh8677]

Try tropical emergen C warm it is the best flavor

[@yarnkelly3606]

One of the best things I took to heart as a momma is GETMO (good enough to move on). Things do not need to be perfect, simply good enough to move on. Also, mom life hack. Keep small trash bags in the car and clean out the trash when filling your car up with gas. My car stays so much neater this way. Still doesn’t get cleaned often enough but the trash is cleaned out once a week.

[@sondrasix1668]

Always enjoyable ❤❤❤❤❤❤ Girl Friend you are doing a fantastic job

[@Momoftwo2017]

Yes if the party isn’t on their actual birthday, we save mom & dad presents for that day, and we do a special dinner & small dessert. ❤

[@MarshaCaughill]

Good morning Kim and party people have a great week God bless you all ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@chrissyt22]

Thank you for reminding me to get my car washed!! Went to the car wash today and now my car is fresh and clean. I need to go to Costco also. Gotta stock up on things ya know?

[@ssing2490]

Every time I spend $$ on brand name water/coffee cups, I find the same ones for a dollar later at the thrift store. We have a quick service place here in Michigan called "Souper Cafe" and they have 12 different soups to choose from. It is absolutely my favorite! Everyone can have their fav in one stop! BTW - it's 36 degrees here this morning. 🙂

[@lifeoutnumbered]

My almost two year old was super excited about the laundry shot. He said "Woohoo". OMG I so appreciate seeing your kids car seat being all crusty because I thought I was the only one lol. My car gets nastyyyyyyyy and it looks like a a park and a food pantry threw up in it more times than it looks clean. My first time getting food poisoning was because of Cracker Barrel on a youth group trip. It was not fun. That bon voyage at the end gave me a jump scare! LOL

[@jenjim1999]

Florida weather sounds sooo good to me right about now! Thank you for the trip to Cracker Barrel. I live in Canada and we don't have any Cracker Barrels here. Great video! Happy birthday Wentworth!!

[@mollyj9684]

I don't think I could deal with FL weather😂 and the only reason my car is slightly cleaner is because I don't have as many kids. That doesn't stop us from accumulating a ton of crap in there, though lol you are awesome and I love your videos. Have a great time enjoying your soup weather!

[@alicialipke7318]

Happy birthday went worth and happy holidays to you and your family Kim thank you for all that you for and for your family coming from a mom if 5 chillins it does seem like it’s never enough but it is when you take a step back your kids are feed they have clean clothes a roof over there head and food in the table girl A plus for are you hard work and thank you for all the wonderful videos that put a smile on my face and heart don’t seek yourself short you are doing awesome happy holidays 🎅⛄️❄️🧑🏻‍🎄☃️🎄🎁
