... I kind of have merch... Check it out! www.bonfire.com/put-a-little-happy-in-your-day-1/ Thanks so much for all of your love and support!! I will be back in the comment section once I get my kids off to school!!
Finally found some things available in my size, placed an order and got so excited 10mins later my order was refunded "Out of stock" are you going to get more stock? I'm so bummed😢
@@brilliantbutblue ah man!! I have a call with my representative today and I have a lot of questions for her so I hope to get it all sorted out! … there will be more!! 🎉🎉🎉
I work with real estate agents and lemme tell you, the crap that some let their clients pull is beyond me. They should not legally be able to threaten breaking the contract over your requesting 5 days of rent past the agreed time. If they couldn't move out in 60 days, that's not your problem; that was the signed agreement and they did not fulfill their end. Sellers Market doesn't mean they can act like squatters with god complexes. Golly, I'm sorry they did that to you but I'm glad it's done and you're settling in to your absolutely gorgeous new home!
YEP. I'm still livid after hearing this from watching this morning. That and the crappy cleaning. Such disgusting behavior. Definitely think the clipped four minutes was more crap they pulled :/ Just happy things have been working out well for them since moving in!
I would love to give them the benefit of the doubt, we have stayed in touch with one of their children ... but they did so much more than that. I could tell stories. haha 'at the end of the day' ... we are here... so we can all take a sigh of relief! haha Thanks for the love
Just some friendly advice from someone who has worked with lots of professional designers in my biz. The biggest mistake made by those without professional help is scale. Go for BIGGER (rugs, art, etc.) esp considering the scale of your home. The trouble with the Home Goods of the world is that they tend to sell smaller things... then you just end up with a lot of small stuff that clutters. Think fewer and bigger things. (The oval mirror in the LR is too small for that wall and Meredith's pink rug could be a lot bigger. I do love the big wall hanging in the media room - maybe frame it?) Congrats, Kim!!!
I've been trying to find bigger pieces to decorate with! - oval mirror will be a collage wall, or so I plan... lol it's proven to be a challenge because these walls are SO Big. Her carpet is even too small?! Goooooosh. lol Thanks for the tips!!
@@thewadsquad Giiirl, you are FINE. I'm your biggest fan. Just.. you're a rising star in your (rare) authentic YT lane. You don't need to be YT/Pinterest perfect. I just want you to... spend your hard-earned money on decorating that makes sense for THIS house. (Yes, I know your views are from cooking but you can build and expand into decorating... and GOD please declutter more... lol.) Take your time. We're not going anywhere. Exhale. 4 kids and moving is HARD. xoxo
Ive lived in my house for 5 years and many bare walls because they are big walls! I did find a couple large canvas prints at kirklands a couple years ago but need more big things that don't cost hundreds!
This! Your sectional outside is perfect for that size patio. Think in those terms for the inside, too, and you'll nail it. After buying the first few BIG pieces, it will get easier. ~ Lisa
This is one of the realest "unpack with me" I have ever seen. Your shock and awe at what you've been blessed with and the overwhelm of it all is so real and I am so here for it! So happy for you and your family on this next chapter at the new house!
I love how you’ve kept your good humor throughout the entire moving process! Your energy and enthusiasm is amazing. So happy for you and your beautiful family!
Now that you have pretty much gotten the whole house situated, just concentrate on one room at a time and get it done the way you want it to be. PLEASE find another place in your home for your desk. Your bedroom is a sanctuary where you go to rest at the end of the day. Having your desk in there brings your work and deadlines into that sanctuary. You are doing great Kim. 💝💝💝

haha I have been trying to find some large pieces! I have a thrift haul coming up... but I may be continuing to look because still I feel the things I bought were too small for these enormous walls!!!
Oh my gosh I can't believe we finally get to see moving day! Thank you so much for taking us on this journey with you guys it's been amazing..I am patiently waiting for all of the holiday cook with me videos! (I almost said episodes lol..your channel is truly like a tv series for me)
Oh my goooosh!! I know, I can't believe Thanksgiving is next week!! WHAT!! I had big plans for multiple cook with me videos for Thanksgiving but I may end up only doing one Thanksgiving cook with me! Maybe I'll make up for it come Christmas time!! There's always at least two then, a bake with me and a cook with me!
@@thewadsquad I know what is time!?!? Lol no worries we all know its a busy season for you! You're like super humans for moving on top of all of that i don't know how you guys are doing it all!!
Hey Kim, You're amazing 💖 where in the world do you get all of your energy?! Seeing the inside of your home is a joy, but is there any way you could get a picture of the outside of your house? I'm sure it's gorgeous. Just curious. You'll get there with the unpacking etc. I think you're doing great 👍. Love you
I've come back to revisit your packing and moving videos a whole 2.5 years later. Oh my goodness, it is so exciting to look back and see the massive changes in your life! The pantry that was SO big is now filled to capacity. Meredith is finally in her forever room with the extension finished, and you have your office!!!! It is absolutely awesome seeing how well you have fit into your home and made it yours over the past few years. So so so many changes - 5 kids, a TEENAGER, new furniture, new rooms, chickens, so so many decorating choices, new big traditions (Eggstravaganza, Summer Party etc) and lots of the same ones that will last forever. Your family is awesome and I am so grateful to you for sharing your lives with us for all these years.
The part where you were talking to us and Meredith kept calling you, lol, my life everyday. That's me, yes buddy, yes what do you need, lol, every 2 seconds but I cherish that time of life they grow to fast
I know it's weird but the washer spins while the clothes are dry but the clothes are dry to weigh them to find out how much water is needed. It's part of the whole energy efficiency thing
Omg. I can't imagine how wonderful it would be to wake up to that view everyday and how much you got accomplished in a short amount of time. Yes, we would want to see another full house tour. Thanks for sharing.
Definitely would love a finished house tour! I’m so happy for you guys I know the house hunting process was so so long for you so I’m very glad you’re finally in a new home and getting settled. And my gosh your view!
Kim your life IS Pinterest worthy! Your beautiful family, work ethic, humor, endless positive energy!! I could go on and on. Truly!! Blessings on your beautiful new home. So looking forward to new adventures. ❤️
I’ve watched this a few times now, just for the inspiration. I would love an opportunity for a fresh start, but it’s just me and my husband, and just not worth starting over. I love seeing what you do and buy. You put a LOT of happy in my day, I say out loud I need to watch some WADS. I adore that rug in the kitchen! Paddle boat! How fun.
I so remember when we moved into this house! it is over twice the size of our old home and I would wake up forever and just be in awe! Our bedroom is off of the livingroom and when I have the door open I see our fireplace, which is what was number one on my list of must haves! I share your awe! enjoy and really, take one day at a time, it will evolve! xoxo
Yes on the house tour! Totally enjoyed the unpacking....your home is beautiful Kim! Enjoy the crap out of it!!! Seriously you all deserve all the happiness in the world!! Love you guys so much.
Just don't forget the stuff in the drawer under your stove. Everytime we move, I have to rebuy cookie sheets, muffin tins, splatter shields and cooling racks 🤦 Everything looks so fun!! Ok maybe run is the wrong word 🤣
Yes on the house tour. You are like having a best friend on TH-cam. So funny and real. So happy for you and your family. Such a beautiful place. God bless.
So happy for you all! Just a little nudge to rethink displaying all those unused candles, and putting things back exactly how they were in your last house. Maybe you don't need to display them all. You could put them in the laundry room in a "candle" cupboard?
Oh my God the lighting in this house you look like a complete angel you are so unbelievably gorgeous. On day 2 when you were standing in the kitchen your eyes are so blue! I’m completely jelly 😋
Kim❤beautiful house ❤gorgeous floorings ❤love the beautiful garden and water glistening in the sun in front of your house; it’s so peaceful there….the view is pure tranquility with all of its greenery outside!😊Enjoy your wonderful household 🎉
If there’s room under Meredith’s new bed, slide the toddler mattress under it. You can pull it out when she sleeps so if she rolls/climbs out of the new bed she has something soft to land on 😊
I had a washer without the agitator like that. They say you should still kind of put the clothes to the edges as if the agitator was in there so it balances. When it was twirling at the beginning that is usually sensing the load size for the water.
It is a seller market. Omg your van is full of thrift. The view is pretty. I love my front loader but cleaning the door and seal weekly with vinegar. I get it. I wear alot of the same clothes. Dealing with virtual school and homeschooling. I m wiped. I love the pantry. My garage was packed for 3 months. We had 3 storage units for 8 months. We sold two houses. It was a mess. We had to park outside the garage.
Meredith's room looks so good. I didn't realize it was that big. It looked a lot smaller without the furniture. I highly recommend movers. We used movers the last time we moved into our current apartment and it was a life saver.
Pool Noodles for Meredith's bed!! You put them up under her sheets and it creates borders so she doesn't roll off. Get her a cute little step stool to get up/down, if it ends up being too tall. And she'll still prob roll out a time or two, but she'll be OK :P LOVE LOVE LOVE the entire house! And love watching you unpack!!
Remembering when you saw this home and look at you now can barely stand it you live here could just die so excited for you and family can't wait for the kitchen unload enjoy everything take a breath you deserve this more than you know so proud you waited for this it's all about a feeling when you walk in and you know sending all our love your east coast family
So happy you gotta to live in your dream home...and that view! I watch you, and honestly I feel uplifted and energized with your positivity. You are real and amazing human being even tho we don't know each other. Sending you love from Canada.
Oh Kim I am just so happy for you and Alex and the family.Cant wait to see you cook with us the first time in your new kitchen.The house is just beautiful and the view is amazing.After moving in and getting through the holidays you and Alex are going to have to rest for month to recover all this.Sending love and hugs.
Yes - more house tours, please! By the way - I´m German and that little "German bench" in your house - it´s a telephone bench. My grandmother had one of these in the 1970s and 1980s. The telephone that still had a cord then was on the right and the person who was on the phone sat on the bench. The big telephone book and the yellow pages were stored in the little cupboard below the telephone. : )
OMG the house is AWESOME SAUCE! Go online and download the owners manual for your washer and other appliances if the sellers did not leave them for you! Love seeing your progress, serious mom worries about Meredith wandering out to the lake when your doors are open, but I know you are used to water dangers having a pool, and I bet she knows how to float already! Thanks for sharing your life and family with us!
We keep a pretty good eye on Meredith ... but more than that shes terrified of almost everything so that helps haha she stays awfully close to us at all times!
My daughter at 5 had decent swimming skills jumped in the pool at a hotel right in the deep end when I told her to wait while I put the key down on a nearby table. Seen her head go under and never jumped and ran so fast in my life. Never been so scared EVER well one other time when I was holding the bathroom door open at Wendy's and she didn't come in two seconds. I ran around screaming thinking she got kidnapped. She was laying on two chairs under a table. 🤬🤬🤬
Moving is yikes in my book so I love seeing you so jolly….it’s the getting rid of everything we don’t need and all the packing but the moving into new place is exciting! We moved several times and after 30+ years we want to downsize and move one last time, the good Lord willing🙏👍🏡 Setting up 🛏s and kitchen always the first important we learned. Thank you so much for letting us move with you and unpack! Love the Wad family 👍🤗♥️🙏🏠 👫👩👩👧👦
I’m so darn happy and exited that we are moving today !!! Whoo hooo finally ! Seriously thank u for bringing us along I feel apart of the fam and I totally do feel like WE are moving lol beautiful house for a beautiful family ! Y’all deserve it !!
Your sister would be looking apon you and being so proud of your achievements ❤️ love your channel and everything you do, you make me smile with your little quirky dancing and silliness xx
Wow seeing that washing machine in action! I think of what my Grandmother endured versus what’s available to us now??? Only thing is you need to be an electrical engineer to figure them out🥺😂🥺😂! For now that can only be in my dreams. ☮️💟
Make sure your air vents are cleaned if you really have allergic relatives. It makes a HUGE difference. Depending on what dogs they had, there may be bunches of hair that needs to be vacuumed out. So excited for you. I too have a beautiful water view, and I appreciate it every.......single.....day............Please check the furniture and if need be, anchor it down. At 16:08 in the video Meredith actually starts to climb her dresser. PS...........Uggggg....wish you saw my previous suggestion to pack a suitcase. That search for deodorant is real!! Been there.
Omgosh what a dream! Your littles have big girl and boy rooms! 😱 So sweet! I'm sure the older girls are so happy to have their own rooms! Your house looks great. The only part of moving I liked was unpacking and finding places to put everything. Then later realizing it didn't work and moving stuff around until it did. Lol Congrats again! So happy for y'all.
Maybe kids are different today, but back when I was a child in the 60s there wasn’t such a thing as a toddler bed; you went from my crib to a regular twin bed. My brothers and I managed to live through that so I would guess kids today could probably be all right as well. We didn’t have hardwood floors like you do so that’s probably more of a concern than the carpet that we had at our house back in the day. I wish you luck with Meredith and her big girl bed and I’m excited for her that she gets her own room.
I am so happy for you I could literally cry 🥺 😍 You deserve EVERYTHING and more ❤️ Such a humble and amazing and I am so proud to put a lil happy in my days with you Kim ❤️
Oh my gosh that pantry, I got goose bumps, so blessed, that kitchen 2 islands, and the VIEW!!!! Meredith is soooo cute, howd she sleep in her new bed, God Bless, enjoy!!!!
Ki.m, congratulations on your house. Your wood furniture really warms IP the house. Can't wait for your meal preps! You are doing an awesome job. Wished I was setting on your patio looking at the lake. So beautiful. ❤
Great video...more than your home I love the space...your front lawn, the outside kitchen and the lake. Yes would love to see more videos of you guys settling in.
Thanks for taking us along as you move into your dream home. I agree that it was not right for the sellers to not be out in 60 days and leave the house in a non clean state, especially when they were told about allergies. 🤦🏻♀️ Rather inconsiderate since you were probably paying top dollar for the house. Our last move was terrible, we had so many things go wrong but we had bought our new house before the old one sold and we ended up getting screwed in the end. Live & learn, I guess. I love your home, the view is magnificent! I wish your family so much happiness in this home. You are going to have so much decorating this house! ♥️♥️
Don't over work yourself , take it a day at a time and a box at a time. Broken dishes can be replaces but bone can't , stay safe while unpacking and your home will be beautiful when you are done. And Happy belated 2nd Birthday Meredith.
The 2 laughing moments... you with the washing machine... and you carrying the grandfather clock!! No one else just picks up a grandfather clock and carries it across the room..but kim does!!! lol... Congrats on this beautiful home!!!!!!
You’ve all done a fantastic job, Kim, getting sorted so quickly! (I think I’ve still got some stuff I haven’t unpacked - it was only 17 years ago 🤣 - borderline hoarder!) It is such a lovely house - enjoy and BELIEVE! Kind regards from Penny in Liverpool 🇬🇧😊💕
So much fun watching you unpack. I am so thrilled for you, Alex and the kids. Merediiiith's room is dreamy and everything's coming together perfectly. I've said it before, it's so nice to see all of your hard work rewarded with such a blessing as this house. It's because you are all about happy, joy and love. Not that life is perfect, it's all about how you handle it and we all love you all for that. I need extra videos because there is so much to do and I can't miss a bit. Enjoy the lake house that happy built! xoxo
LOL I’m listening and watching you unpack as I unpack my new house!!! We often stand in the new house and look around like how do we deserve this and how awesome is it to have this a nice big house and not be all on top of each other lol we kind of have a similar story about the smaller homes and lots of kids and all the things hahah
I am so happy for you and your family. You are also deserving of this lovely home. I have a large family too. Me my husband and 5 kids. We had to sacrifice and live in a home that was way too small for us in order to save up for our dream home. Which I am happy to say we will be moving in very soon. I love your channel and I love your content. I love that you keep it real. Blessings to you and your family.
Just my opinion bc I love them... Buy about 20-30 more of the exact black & yellow totes you already have and be super organized, know where things are and without clutter! Use your cricut to label each tote in 4" letters...? When I did this I was married, had a young child at home and worked at RUBBERMAID in Wooster, Ohio. I labeled with masking tape and marker. I miss those days.
Just an idea for the landing zone, when Meredith has her room in the addition: if you want it by the front door, you can make a built-in bench the entire width of the door to Meredith's room, or even wider. And add shoe storage under it, plus a small closet for backpacks. Maybe even a hidden one? Remeber that one house with similar design, where every kid had their own "section"? The door to the room could be next to the phone table, it seemed possible... And this way, you have an office. 😎 Hope you get inspiration from this and best luck 😁
LOL The washing machine balances the load and figures out how high the water needs to be. Mine isn't quite THAT fancy, but I was intrigued by the new washing machine lol.
WoW, just wow. To see someone's dream come to life. I can see how happy you and your family are, yall are just glowing!!! I wish you and your family happyiness and joy in your new house.
Kim, I have waited for this day for a long time. This home and view is absolutely beautiful. Sooooo excited for you guys. What a great job on unpacking and arranging everything. Your stuff fits in beautifully. A Paddle boat....how fun is that. Thank you for the tour. BTW, I am available for adoption and come already potty trained.
Fair warning ⚠️ don’t go to fast on the paddle boat 🤣 my cousin and I were flying across our grandmothers lake and the propeller fell off and we had to paddle back by hand 🙃
Hello guys I love your family home, it looks so amazing when you guys are there on your own place 👍👏👏👏🌺🦋🌈💖❤️😊😘🙏🏻from Edith in cairns Queensland Australia. Cheers!!!
Your boundless energy is something I envy. Your house looks so great. The little German bench looks perfect in that spot. Yes, please do another house tour when you are finished unpacking and decoratinf.
Glad to know about front load washing machines! We're still renovated our house in the mtns, & hubby bought a new w/d, & I wanted a front loader bc they look so cool; however, he got a top loader. Now, I feel extra grateful! SN: I love you all - sooo happy for your family ♡
I live in Germany. Front loaders are the norm. Top loaders are rare. They do exist and cost more than front loaders. Those of us who have tried top loaders tend to hate them. LOL.
So funny how different people love different machines, personally I hated my front loader. At first I thought it was awesome and fancy... then I hated cleaning it alllll theeee tiiiiime. lol
I got a front loader and didn't end up liking it. When deciding to move across the country we sold those units bc they were pretty new. Decided to go back to a top loader and really prefer it.
The washing machine looks like a big computer that washes clothes. lol With the control panel of a Boeing 707. I hope they left you the manuals for all the appliances. That is some great view and property. Yes, a house tour when you are all done. You got a lot done already. Have many happy times in your new home!
Is it okay to admit that I’m super duper jealous of your backyard? 😩😭 I just wanna lay on the grass in front of the lake and listen to the trees forever, it looks so peaceful
Yes I want to see anything and everything haha. You did so good I'm so happy for you my bungalow consists of a living room a kitchen and a bedroom two closets one with my clothes in one one for everything else. I love your channel I can't wait to see your new couches my favourite was you guys in the peddle boat and the kids playing in the sand (great) lots of love caz xxx
Kim, slow down and take your time, the stuff is not going anywhere, and by taking your time you can get everything situated the way you want it the first time. I used to be the one who had to be unpacked within a few days, then I realized that it took me weeks to get it all the way I wanted it. It takes longer to move stuff around when you already have it in places that you don't like.
Your house is beautiful, so exciting! Absolutely love the long driveway, a dream if you ask me. Terri Clark, get it girl!! Washboard, I found one of those at an antique store for next to nothing. So excited for y’all to spend your first holidays there, such sweet memories!! Hope you have a great week!
Ya'll have a beautiful home. Kim you have beautiful sense of humor. I'm still praying 🙏 for you, and your family strength. I understand your grief because I loss my sister January 2019, mother 2017, brother 2007, and father 1994. With each day it gets a little better. Praying God continues to bless you, and your beautiful family
I finally found slouchy tank in my size (everything else was out of stock) ordered 2 different colours and 10mins later my order was refunded as items "out of stock" lm so bummed😢
Thanks for the unpack video, if you don't want Meredith to fall out of the bed, my sister put pool noodles under the fitted sheet on the sides so her daughter had a little barrier. Love the new merch, my size xl is already sold out! Maybe next time. I moved to a big house 2 yrs ago, my advice ... get big rugs and wall art/mirrors, bigger than you would think.
Congratulations on your new home! I'm also a mom of 4, 3 girls and 1 boy. When my kids were just a little older than yours, my husband and I bought a house with 1.5 acres. Best decision ever! Our house became the 'hang out' home for our kids and their friends. I can see you and Alex being the same kind of parents!
Well done. Looking out over that lake will save you from all stresses. All you have to do is pause, look, breathe. I have lived on Lake Michigan for 40 years and looking out over the peacefulness is priceless. The sparkling sunshine bouncing off the water will energize you. I am so glad you had a gorgeous day and found chocolate.
... I kind of have merch... Check it out! www.bonfire.com/put-a-little-happy-in-your-day-1/

I hear that!! It is most definitely a temporary solution. Hoping to get my desk out of here asap
Agree :)
I thought the same at first, but her room is so big, so it’s not really worth mentioning
@@phoenixx6756 Doesn't take away from the psychological aspects, which is why she said something in the first place. Kim has four kids on top of all of this. She needs her own work space to fully focus, and her own space to relax. Girlfriend deserves it!!!
@@katia_g213 I thinks she knows that
Why is it so entertaining to watch someone unpack? I don’t know but I wish it was twice as long!
So I’m going to overstep here 😜 by saying, take your time with mirrors and artwork bc everything from other home is going to be to small a scale. Next time you go thrifting find you a gargantuan mirror for your entryway bc you are now the lady across the room. Hugs to you all!
haha I have been trying to find some large pieces! I have a thrift haul coming up... but I may be continuing to look because still I feel the things I bought were too small for these enormous walls!!!
Yes because that mirror is hung to high and is to small,I’m sure because you unpacked your just putting stuff up but will change things
Yeah those walls are HUGE and BEAUTIFUL! They deserve to be treated with the most gorgeous and large mirrors or pictures hehe
Meredith walking around you just tearing things apart is the most relatable thing in this video 😆
That is my liiiife!! She gets into everything!
She is a crack up! Just doing her thing lol! Congratulations on your new home! You make me laugh and I appreciate you and love your success!
That’s my every day life with a 17 month old 😅
Can we all agree Kim has some of the best royalty free music on the tube 🙂
So glad that you enjoy it!!!
Probably too late, but glue the skeleton bowl back together and paint the crack orange/gold/something fun. Adds character and a good story.
Oh my gosh I can't believe we finally get to see moving day! Thank you so much for taking us on this journey with you guys it's been amazing..I am patiently waiting for all of the holiday cook with me videos! (I almost said episodes lol..your channel is truly like a tv series for me)

You're amazing 💖 where in the world do you get all of your energy?! Seeing the inside of your home is a joy, but is there any way you could get a picture of the outside of your house? I'm sure it's gorgeous. Just curious. You'll get there with the unpacking etc. I think you're doing great 👍. Love you
@@charlenearmel8228 Be careful about posting pics of the front of the house. Maybe not a good idea. ~ Lisa
I've come back to revisit your packing and moving videos a whole 2.5 years later. Oh my goodness, it is so exciting to look back and see the massive changes in your life! The pantry that was SO big is now filled to capacity. Meredith is finally in her forever room with the extension finished, and you have your office!!!!
It is absolutely awesome seeing how well you have fit into your home and made it yours over the past few years.
So so so many changes - 5 kids, a TEENAGER, new furniture, new rooms, chickens, so so many decorating choices, new big traditions (Eggstravaganza, Summer Party etc) and lots of the same ones that will last forever.
Your family is awesome and I am so grateful to you for sharing your lives with us for all these years.
When you thought the washing machine said “pre heat” I was like, “to 411 degrees!” 😂🤣 congratulations on your beautiful new home 🤗
hahaa could you imagine.
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 I know that we are all happy Kim’s got a working oven now!........but that was perfect.
I know most of us are going to miss 411 degrees lol
Lol that’s hilarious!
The part where you were talking to us and Meredith kept calling you, lol, my life everyday. That's me, yes buddy, yes what do you need, lol, every 2 seconds but I cherish that time of life they grow to fast
I know it's weird but the washer spins while the clothes are dry but the clothes are dry to weigh them to find out how much water is needed. It's part of the whole energy efficiency thing
That makes perfect sense!! I've always wanted a washing machine that fills water to be accurate!
Wow! Forget the electric bill! You will make some landscaper's dreams come true on a monthly basis on this property!
Omg. I can't imagine how wonderful it would be to wake up to that view everyday and how much you got accomplished in a short amount of time. Yes, we would want to see another full house tour. Thanks for sharing.
I feel like I haven't taken a break in a month! haha
Definitely would love a finished house tour! I’m so happy for you guys I know the house hunting process was so so long for you so I’m very glad you’re finally in a new home and getting settled. And my gosh your view!
Kim your life IS Pinterest worthy! Your beautiful family, work ethic, humor, endless positive energy!! I could go on and on. Truly!! Blessings on your beautiful new home. So looking forward to new adventures. ❤️
Little family picnics by the lake 😍
Of course we want to see another house tour as you get more done! lol congratulations again it coming along nicely!
I’ve watched this a few times now, just for the inspiration. I would love an opportunity for a fresh start, but it’s just me and my husband, and just not worth starting over. I love seeing what you do and buy. You put a LOT of happy in my day, I say out loud I need to watch some WADS. I adore that rug in the kitchen! Paddle boat! How fun.
That view!!! I can't 😍😍😍😍
It’s so awesome to see my top two TH-camrs watching each other’s videos! 😁💓
Ayooo!!! Look everybody it's Karrie!!!
I know it’s amazing!
Yay Karrie and Kim in one spot! 😁
Awww yayy!!! My 2 favorite youtube peoples!!😍
I so remember when we moved into this house! it is over twice the size of our old home and I would wake up forever and just be in awe! Our bedroom is off of the livingroom and when I have the door open I see our fireplace, which is what was number one on my list of must haves! I share your awe! enjoy and really, take one day at a time, it will evolve! xoxo
Yes on the house tour! Totally enjoyed the unpacking....your home is beautiful Kim! Enjoy the crap out of it!!! Seriously you all deserve all the happiness in the world!! Love you guys so much.
We are enjoying so much!! Thank you!!
Just don't forget the stuff in the drawer under your stove. Everytime we move, I have to rebuy cookie sheets, muffin tins, splatter shields and cooling racks 🤦 Everything looks so fun!! Ok maybe run is the wrong word 🤣
Yes on the house tour. You are like having a best friend on TH-cam. So funny and real. So happy for you and your family. Such a beautiful place. God bless.
So happy for you all! Just a little nudge to rethink displaying all those unused candles, and putting things back exactly how they were in your last house. Maybe you don't need to display them all. You could put them in the laundry room in a "candle" cupboard?
Oh my God the lighting in this house you look like a complete angel you are so unbelievably gorgeous. On day 2 when you were standing in the kitchen your eyes are so blue! I’m completely jelly 😋
Kim❤beautiful house ❤gorgeous floorings ❤love the beautiful garden and water glistening in the sun in front of your house; it’s so peaceful there….the view is pure tranquility with all of its greenery outside!😊Enjoy your wonderful household 🎉
If there’s room under Meredith’s new bed, slide the toddler mattress under it. You can pull it out when she sleeps so if she rolls/climbs out of the new bed she has something soft to land on 😊
I had a washer without the agitator like that. They say you should still kind of put the clothes to the edges as if the agitator was in there so it balances. When it was twirling at the beginning that is usually sensing the load size for the water.
It is a seller market. Omg your van is full of thrift. The view is pretty. I love my front loader but cleaning the door and seal weekly with vinegar. I get it. I wear alot of the same clothes. Dealing with virtual school and homeschooling. I m wiped. I love the pantry. My garage was packed for 3 months. We had 3 storage units for 8 months. We sold two houses. It was a mess. We had to park outside the garage.
Meredith's room looks so good. I didn't realize it was that big. It looked a lot smaller without the furniture. I highly recommend movers. We used movers the last time we moved into our current apartment and it was a life saver.
The movers saved so much time for sure!! They were a huge help! Idk how they do that day in, day out!! woah.
I can't believe what two guys can move. We hired movers and they saved us so much time and back pain. Worth every penny.
Pool Noodles for Meredith's bed!! You put them up under her sheets and it creates borders so she doesn't roll off. Get her a cute little step stool to get up/down, if it ends up being too tall. And she'll still prob roll out a time or two, but she'll be OK :P LOVE LOVE LOVE the entire house! And love watching you unpack!!
Keys are great for opening up boxes in a pinch. 🙂
Remembering when you saw this home and look at you now can barely stand it you live here could just die so excited for you and family can't wait for the kitchen unload enjoy everything take a breath you deserve this more than you know so proud you waited for this it's all about a feeling when you walk in and you know sending all our love your east coast family
So happy you gotta to live in your dream home...and that view! I watch you, and honestly I feel uplifted and energized with your positivity. You are real and amazing human being even tho we don't know each other. Sending you love from Canada.
Yes yes I’d love to see the finished house!!! This is so much fun! I’m so happy for you and Alex and your family! You guys are awesome!
Oh Kim I am just so happy for you and Alex and the family.Cant wait to see you cook with us the first time in your new kitchen.The house is just beautiful and the view is amazing.After moving in and getting through the holidays you and Alex are going to have to rest for month to recover all this.Sending love and hugs.
Yes - more house tours, please! By the way - I´m German and that little "German bench" in your house - it´s a telephone bench. My grandmother had one of these in the 1970s and 1980s. The telephone that still had a cord then was on the right and the person who was on the phone sat on the bench. The big telephone book and the yellow pages were stored in the little cupboard below the telephone. : )
Yes! A "gossip bench" - my grandmother had one. Loved it! Always remember her sitting there talking on the phone to her sisters and friends!
OMG the house is AWESOME SAUCE! Go online and download the owners manual for your washer and other appliances if the sellers did not leave them for you! Love seeing your progress, serious mom worries about Meredith wandering out to the lake when your doors are open, but I know you are used to water dangers having a pool, and I bet she knows how to float already! Thanks for sharing your life and family with us!
We keep a pretty good eye on Meredith ... but more than that shes terrified of almost everything so that helps haha she stays awfully close to us at all times!
I thought the same thing, but figured the same thing. My boy is 2 months younger and he is crazy and would have ran their first!
My daughter at 5 had decent swimming skills jumped in the pool at a hotel right in the deep end when I told her to wait while I put the key down on a nearby table. Seen her head go under and never jumped and ran so fast in my life. Never been so scared EVER well one other time when I was holding the bathroom door open at Wendy's and she didn't come in two seconds. I ran around screaming thinking she got kidnapped. She was laying on two chairs under a table. 🤬🤬🤬
Hannah, that’s totally my kid!
@@sara7524 😂😂😂🤦🏼♀️ I shouldn't even laugh at it but couldn't help it. Kids listening skills are really zero sometimes at the exact wrong time lol
Moving is yikes in my book so I love seeing you so jolly….it’s the getting rid of everything we don’t need and all the packing but the moving into new place is exciting! We moved several times and after 30+ years we want to downsize and move one last time, the good Lord willing🙏👍🏡 Setting up 🛏s and kitchen always the first important we learned. Thank you so much for letting us move with you and unpack! Love the Wad family 👍🤗♥️🙏🏠 👫👩👩👧👦
I’m so darn happy and exited that we are moving today !!! Whoo hooo finally ! Seriously thank u for bringing us along I feel apart of the fam and I totally do feel like WE are moving lol beautiful house for a beautiful family ! Y’all deserve it !!
I feel your love so much! Thank you so much for coming along and hanging out with me while I do all of the house things!!
Sooooo blessed that you don’t have to go to an office job! I know u work ur tail off- but you are AT HOME!!! My dream! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Just the title cracks me up! The excitement of moving and then the reality of unpacking hits 😂
Your sister would be looking apon you and being so proud of your achievements ❤️ love your channel and everything you do, you make me smile with your little quirky dancing and silliness xx
Watching the washing machine-
“If this doesn’t fascinate you, are you even a mom?”
Yes I am!! I wanted to see more!!!
haha seriously though!!!
I’m not a mom and yes, that was fascinating. I could’ve watched that for an hour. Front loaders are overrated!
Agreed - I want to watch the full cycle please!!
I had a top loader with the glass top and yes, I watched almost the whole cycle 😂
Wow seeing that washing machine in action! I think of what my Grandmother endured versus what’s available to us now??? Only thing is you need to be an electrical engineer to figure them out🥺😂🥺😂! For now that can only be in my dreams. ☮️💟
Make sure your air vents are cleaned if you really have allergic relatives. It makes a HUGE difference. Depending on what dogs they had, there may be bunches of hair that needs to be vacuumed out. So excited for you. I too have a beautiful water view, and I appreciate it every.......single.....day............Please check the furniture and if need be, anchor it down. At 16:08 in the video Meredith actually starts to climb her dresser. PS...........Uggggg....wish you saw my previous suggestion to pack a suitcase. That search for deodorant is real!! Been there.
Omgosh what a dream! Your littles have big girl and boy rooms! 😱 So sweet! I'm sure the older girls are so happy to have their own rooms! Your house looks great. The only part of moving I liked was unpacking and finding places to put everything. Then later realizing it didn't work and moving stuff around until it did. Lol Congrats again! So happy for y'all.
Yes!! I bet I will be moving a ton of stuff around once we settle in!!
Funny watching Kim putting stuff away, reminded me of the cupboard it was in at their other home!!! Now that is transparency!👍
Maybe kids are different today, but back when I was a child in the 60s there wasn’t such a thing as a toddler bed; you went from my crib to a regular twin bed. My brothers and I managed to live through that so I would guess kids today could probably be all right as well. We didn’t have hardwood floors like you do so that’s probably more of a concern than the carpet that we had at our house back in the day. I wish you luck with Meredith and her big girl bed and I’m excited for her that she gets her own room.
I am so happy for you I could literally cry 🥺 😍 You deserve EVERYTHING and more ❤️ Such a humble and amazing and I am so proud to put a lil happy in my days with you Kim ❤️
Oh my gosh that pantry, I got goose bumps, so blessed, that kitchen 2 islands, and the VIEW!!!! Meredith is soooo cute, howd she sleep in her new bed, God Bless, enjoy!!!!
Ki.m, congratulations on your house. Your wood furniture really warms IP the house. Can't wait for your meal preps! You are doing an awesome job. Wished I was setting on your patio looking at the lake. So beautiful. ❤
Call me crazy but I loved this part of moving. We were a military family and moved around. Setting up a new place was the best. 🥰
Great video...more than your home I love the space...your front lawn, the outside kitchen and the lake. Yes would love to see more videos of you guys settling in.
I always do beds first, so you have a nice place to sleep after all the hassle.
Thanks for taking us along as you move into your dream home. I agree that it was not right for the sellers to not be out in 60 days and leave the house in a non clean state, especially when they were told about allergies. 🤦🏻♀️ Rather inconsiderate since you were probably paying top dollar for the house. Our last move was terrible, we had so many things go wrong but we had bought our new house before the old one sold and we ended up getting screwed in the end. Live & learn, I guess.
I love your home, the view is magnificent!
I wish your family so much happiness in this home. You are going to have so much decorating this house! ♥️♥️
Love the floors. Look like what I have. Felt pads on the bottoms of the furniture have been a life saver. No scratches. I loved this video!
Don't over work yourself , take it a day at a time and a box at a time. Broken dishes can be replaces but bone can't , stay safe while unpacking and your home will be beautiful when you are done. And Happy belated 2nd Birthday Meredith.
Yesss!!
The 2 laughing moments... you with the washing machine... and you carrying the grandfather clock!! No one else just picks up a grandfather clock and carries it across the room..but kim does!!! lol... Congrats on this beautiful home!!!!!!
You’ve all done a fantastic job, Kim, getting sorted so quickly! (I think I’ve still got some stuff I haven’t unpacked - it was only 17 years ago 🤣 - borderline hoarder!) It is such a lovely house - enjoy and BELIEVE! Kind regards from Penny in Liverpool 🇬🇧😊💕
I’m absolutely dying at the tiny mirror in Meredith’s room at her height. I love that idea so much.
So much fun watching you unpack. I am so thrilled for you, Alex and the kids. Merediiiith's room is dreamy and everything's coming together perfectly. I've said it before, it's so nice to see all of your hard work rewarded with such a blessing as this house. It's because you are all about happy, joy and love. Not that life is perfect, it's all about how you handle it and we all love you all for that. I need extra videos because there is so much to do and I can't miss a bit. Enjoy the lake house that happy built! xoxo
That patio set is just a monster of space.
LOL I’m listening and watching you unpack as I unpack my new house!!! We often stand in the new house and look around like how do we deserve this and how awesome is it to have this a nice big house and not be all on top of each other lol we kind of have a similar story about the smaller homes and lots of kids and all the things hahah
its a beautiful house and im sure you,ll find all the light switches in time. thank you for giving us the tour
I am so happy for you and your family. You are also deserving of this lovely home. I have a large family too. Me my husband and 5 kids. We had to sacrifice and live in a home that was way too small for us in order to save up for our dream home. Which I am happy to say we will be moving in very soon. I love your channel and I love your content. I love that you keep it real. Blessings to you and your family.
Just my opinion bc I love them...
Buy about 20-30 more of the exact black & yellow totes you already have and be super organized, know where things are and without clutter!
Use your cricut to label each tote in 4" letters...?
When I did this I was married, had a young child at home and worked at RUBBERMAID in Wooster, Ohio.
I labeled with masking tape and marker.
I miss those days.
What an incredible house! So happy for you and your family! Go on and create GREAT memories!!
Again, I just need a tent in the back yard. That view!! 😍😍😍. But I really don’t need a washing machine that had more buttons on it than my computer. 🤣
Just an idea for the landing zone, when Meredith has her room in the addition: if you want it by the front door, you can make a built-in bench the entire width of the door to Meredith's room, or even wider. And add shoe storage under it, plus a small closet for backpacks. Maybe even a hidden one? Remeber that one house with similar design, where every kid had their own "section"? The door to the room could be next to the phone table, it seemed possible... And this way, you have an office. 😎 Hope you get inspiration from this and best luck 😁
I love this so much!! Yes. That has been definitely an idea I've had too!!
its a convection microwave. i have one. love it
Kimmmmm!!!!! I am so happy for you and your amazing family!! Watching you makes me so happy! Love from Idaho! 💙💙💙
Your backyard view is FABULOUS. I’m picturing lawn chairs, tables, and a gazebo. Enjoy!
LOL The washing machine balances the load and figures out how high the water needs to be. Mine isn't quite THAT fancy, but I was intrigued by the new washing machine lol.
WoW, just wow. To see someone's dream come to life. I can see how happy you and your family are, yall are just glowing!!! I wish you and your family happyiness and joy in your new house.
Kim, I have waited for this day for a long time. This home and view is absolutely beautiful.
Sooooo excited for you guys. What a great job on unpacking and arranging everything. Your stuff fits in beautifully. A Paddle boat....how fun is that. Thank you for the tour. BTW, I am available for adoption and come already potty trained.
Fair warning ⚠️ don’t go to fast on the paddle boat 🤣 my cousin and I were flying across our grandmothers lake and the propeller fell off and we had to paddle back by hand 🙃
Hello guys I love your family home, it looks so amazing when you guys are there on your own place 👍👏👏👏🌺🦋🌈💖❤️😊😘🙏🏻from Edith in cairns Queensland Australia. Cheers!!!
Wow! Congratulations on your beautiful new house. Love the paddle boat. May you have many many happy years of love and laughter enjoying yourselves.
Thank you for sharing your life with us! That house is incredible! Now we will wait for our invitation to visit 😆
Your boundless energy is something I envy. Your house looks so great. The little German bench looks perfect in that spot. Yes, please do another house tour when you are finished unpacking and decoratinf.
Glad to know about front load washing machines! We're still renovated our house in the mtns, & hubby bought a new w/d, & I wanted a front loader bc they look so cool; however, he got a top loader. Now, I feel extra grateful! SN: I love you all - sooo happy for your family ♡
I lived in a house that had a front loader. Seemed like there were ALWAYS issues, including mildew and mold due to the front's thick rubber seal :(
I moved into our new home a year ago and front loaders are a bummer. Always have to leave the door open.
I live in Germany. Front loaders are the norm. Top loaders are rare. They do exist and cost more than front loaders. Those of us who have tried top loaders tend to hate them. LOL.
So funny how different people love different machines, personally I hated my front loader. At first I thought it was awesome and fancy... then I hated cleaning it alllll theeee tiiiiime. lol
I got a front loader and didn't end up liking it. When deciding to move across the country we sold those units bc they were pretty new. Decided to go back to a top loader and really prefer it.
The washing machine looks like a big computer that washes clothes. lol With the control panel of a Boeing 707. I hope they left you the manuals for all the appliances. That is some great view and property. Yes, a house tour when you are all done. You got a lot done already. Have many happy times in your new home!
Alex : why isn't anything done
Kim : been watching laundry all day 🤣
It really is the simple things that gets some people including me 🤣
Is it okay to admit that I’m super duper jealous of your backyard? 😩😭 I just wanna lay on the grass in front of the lake and listen to the trees forever, it looks so peaceful
Yes I want to see anything and everything haha. You did so good I'm so happy for you my bungalow consists of a living room a kitchen and a bedroom two closets one with my clothes in one one for everything else. I love your channel I can't wait to see your new couches my favourite was you guys in the peddle boat and the kids playing in the sand (great) lots of love caz xxx
Kim, slow down and take your time, the stuff is not going anywhere, and by taking your time you can get everything situated the way you want it the first time. I used to be the one who had to be unpacked within a few days, then I realized that it took me weeks to get it all the way I wanted it. It takes longer to move stuff around when you already have it in places that you don't like.
Your house is beautiful, so exciting! Absolutely love the long driveway, a dream if you ask me. Terri Clark, get it girl!! Washboard, I found one of those at an antique store for next to nothing. So excited for y’all to spend your first holidays there, such sweet memories!! Hope you have a great week!
Ya'll have a beautiful home. Kim you have beautiful sense of humor. I'm still praying 🙏 for you, and your family strength. I understand your grief because I loss my sister January 2019, mother 2017, brother 2007, and father 1994. With each day it gets a little better. Praying God continues to bless you, and your beautiful family
I am SO excited about your merch! I purchased it so quickly last night after I saw your post! I got the sweatshirt and slouchy tank. 😍
I finally found slouchy tank in my size (everything else was out of stock) ordered 2 different colours and 10mins later my order was refunded as items "out of stock" lm so bummed😢
Thanks for the unpack video, if you don't want Meredith to fall out of the bed, my sister put pool noodles under the fitted sheet on the sides so her daughter had a little barrier. Love the new merch, my size xl is already sold out! Maybe next time. I moved to a big house 2 yrs ago, my advice ... get big rugs and wall art/mirrors, bigger than you would think.
So happy to see y’all in the new house! I’ve been waiting for this and you did not disappoint for sure!
Congratulations on your new home! I'm also a mom of 4, 3 girls and 1 boy. When my kids were just a little older than yours, my husband and I bought a house with 1.5 acres. Best decision ever! Our house became the 'hang out' home for our kids and their friends. I can see you and Alex being the same kind of parents!
I am so excited for this video!! 😍 I am sooooo happy for you guys and I love love love your outdoor kitchen ❤
Well done. Looking out over that lake will save you from all stresses. All you have to do is pause, look, breathe. I have lived on Lake Michigan for 40 years and looking out over the peacefulness is priceless. The sparkling sunshine bouncing off the water will energize you. I am so glad you had a gorgeous day and found chocolate.
I’m so happy for you and all the space you have in that kitchen!!!
Thanks for being incredible Mr. and Mrs. Wads!
