These are my favorite videos, Kim! & I know you probably won’t believe this but to me, you are the woman across the room. I don’t have any woman in my life like you. You truly inspire me & fill my life with so much joy. Because of you, I learn how to not care about being perfect & instead focus on what really matters in life. I’m grateful to have “met” you through YT. Thank you for being you & for being a friend☺️🙏💕 by the way, if you did do a collab with DW, your candle would be called A Mother”s Touch & it would smell fresh & clean like Florida sunshine ☀️
Some day Kim, you’re going to look back and ask yourself “how did I do it all?” You’re an amazing mom, wife and friend to all of us ☺️. You’re doing great and never compare yourself to anyone else 😉.
In All Honesty for me you are the woman across the room as I imagine you are for many of us. I’m so glad to see the addition is finally moving along. We just bought our first home 6 months ago and let me tell ya its been fun making it ours. Keep on rocking kim, your doing awesome!
It can be hard to remember that "it's just a season" when the season you are in feels difficult or overwhelming. Deep breaths my friend! You are doing an AMAZING job!!!
Okay- 40:30 I think, where you said “I’m just one person” I FELT THAT. And 40:42 when you throw the shorts in the air whilst saying “I need to find everyone’s baskets” I FELT THAT and laughed at the same time! This is the energy I need on a daily basis ❤❤❤
Good morning Kim 1st. Here is a huge hug to make you feel better (you said you need a friend) 2nd. YOU are the woman across the room for so many of us. You might not feel as tho you do not have your life together. BUT in my eyes (and I’m sure many) it’s way more put together than others Give yourself grace.
You’re the woman across the room for me!!😁 DW Candle collab scent ideas: -Spring Water: Purifies the soul! -Brownie Friday -Chicken: Salmonella, I dare you! -The Isles of HomeGoods: Treat yourself! I’d buy any collab you’re apart of!
That's all you can do. I work as a childcare provider. I have 8 kids that range from 8mo to almost 3 yrs. I tell my coteacher, "We kept them safe and fed today." There are days that we don't get circle time or the activity don't, "but they had fun." One day at a time is how we all need to live life. We got this! I love your videos and suggest your videos to many. Thanks for all the fun! Alex, he is the spitting image of Wentworth. :)
I always laugh when you ask “is that something you’d want to see?” Seriously, we are watching you do laundry and clean your bathrooms. We are going to watch whatever you post
I think people who “have their life together” have people in their lives that help them get their life together. Lots of people have house cleaners or nanny’s or family that helps them out. It makes a big difference. I am SAHM and it definitely takes a village to raise kids and get “our s**t together!” Give yourself grace like you always say… because you are my “women across the room”. 😊❤🎉
I'm a person with a big personality,I Love to laugh and cut up My Grandpa that my Brothers and I grew up in his and Granmas house,was the biggest cut up.I Love your personality.
As a fellow Floridian, Kim, I concur about the gardening difficulties because of the extreme heat and the monsoons we get! It is hard to grow many plants. I've found that the tropical varieties are best suited. Hope your green thumb emerges triumphantly! You are a busy Mama and you are amazing for doing all that you do! A true inspiration to many! Having a new baby on top of the other kiddos is a lot, not to mention, the lack of sleep. Give yourself some extra grace. You're doing great! Although, I'm a Grammie now, I love your channel and your down to earth humor! Blessings, my friend!
You are the woman across the room!!! You are funny, beautiful inside and out. You're a very happy person. Always trying to improve your life and the lives around you. You are creative, smart, a people person that draws people to you. You love and take very good care of your family. You are an entertainer, a nurturer, home maker, entrepreneur, etc.....I could go on and on! You wear many different shoes! Oh, did I mention, gorgeous hair! Who is that lady? Look, she's the woman across the room, Kim!!!!👠🥿👟🩴👢🩰❤
Idk if you read my comment about the bag balm but that was originally made for cows udders that got chapped in the winter. Farmers hands were always so soft in the winter from it that they started selling it to the community. Fun fact.
2nd Comment-I so hope your sister-in-law sees this video. Do love & appreciate someone so much that you share it with your 367K subscribers is well, Wonderful. Lucky you & her. Thank you Kims sister-in-law for giving her the love, friendship and inspiration that you do!❤❤💙💙💜💜
You are a rockstar every day!!! Just being a stay home mother is an accomplishment and never feel like you haven’t accomplished something! Everyday you accomplish being the best mom you can be! Keep your head high! Your just awesome! Tell yourself that everyday!!!! ❤
God bless your home and your familiy. You are the woman across the room for me, my inspiration! I’m 35, have only two kids, you are super woman you do too much. I Got out of debt recently, I wanna be better, you motivate me to keep on going, get organize, cook and clean! You put a lot of happiness in my days. Thank you, from New York!
Hello from Canada. We are at a balmy 8 degrees celcius with tons of rain. You are only 1 person but one that does so much. Inspired is what I typically feel from your videos and I love your voice overs they just make me laugh cuz you tell it how it is.
Diane von Furstenberg "You know, there's a thing about the woman across the room. You see the woman across the room, you think, She's so poised; she's so together. But she looks at you and you are the woman across the room for her." Love this quote!
My mother-in-law is my version of your sister in law. She lives 3 mins away and I would never have it any other way. She is such a blessing in my life and treats me so well. She is super mom and women. Every day I love to learn from her. I married my husband at 20 so she sort of has been raising me into the women I am now 7 years later. Lovely video as always Kim :)
@The Aussie Family I am so sorry to hear that! That must be horribly difficult for you :( I hope you find your women across the room one day even if it isn’t in your immediate family. I feel so thankful my MIL is so kind but I know that definitely isn’t always the case.
Thanks for keeping me entertained while I vacuumed. Kim, you are still very new postpartum. Please give yourself as much Grace as possible because just because other people have a higher threshold does not make your overwhelm less valid. I love to garden too and getting the little kids in the garden is the great joy of my life. They love helping. They love getting in the dirt. It's fantastic.
I love those quotes and will use them. Fail until you don't, amazing it's taking the burden off ourselves and knowing one day we will not fail. Also the woman across the room is so true. It's all in our perception, the grass is always greener concept. You bring a lot of joy to me. Thank you 😊
Kim, you’re amazing! Love love love your videos! I don’t have my life together by any means (but maybe sometimes it feels like it), but I’m a mom of 6, we homeschool and we’re home A LOT, so I’ve learned some coping skills along the way that maybe might help you? The number one thing I learned to do as my family grew was to create SYSTEMS for EVERYTHING. ❤️❤️❤️ I made chore charts for kids, and I train them around 7-8 to do a lot of tasks around the house- dishes, laundry, organizing, cleaning, dusting, etc. I made month-long lists of meals so I don’t have to keep coming up with ideas. I also teach my kids to cook. 🎉 The number two thing is I delegate as much as family can handle. Not sure if you’ll even read this, because you are so loved with so many comments and probably have all of this figured out anyway. Thanks for making great videos! ❤️
I love watching your videos!! I struggle doing anything and it makes me realize I’m not the only one overwhelmed!!! You make me laugh and feel better about myself and make me want to clean a room until it is done (kinda)! Lol!!! My mom was 28 when my father was killed in an accident at work she had 4 children the oldest having cerebral palsy and was 12 just learning to walk a 10, 8, 4 year old and was 6 months pregnant with me!!! She raised us alone for 8 years and they were the most wonderful years of my life!! She was definitely the lady across the room but we all had chores and she didn’t allow us to slack on them. That was a different time!!!! It was the 1950’s! But you know I always knew I was loved and that was enough!!! So go easy on yourself!!! All they will remember is the time you spent with them!!! Also!!!! DW candles are they a Florida thing or what. I keep looking at all the stores you shop at and I don’t see any?
Kim… you don’t understand how much I need and love these videos. I’ve noticed that my depression has been creeping back in and it’s a little scary. But, your videos make me feel like I am hanging out with a friend and we can be productive together. Thank you, friend. ❤️
Kim, You are so transparent and easy to relate to. You inspire so many others even if we aren’t in the same season of life as you. Always keep your sense of humor and positive attitude!
Aww. Sweet little Wolfgang! Love seeing him in your videos, Kim! He looks like Kim to me, but baby faces change over time. You honestly do so much more than the basic survival for your family. That’s the perfect scale to measure your success. Your house is cleaned regularly, your kids are happy and have active social lives, you cook healthy and varied meals, and goodness you spend time with them. That’s a successful woman to me. My oldest was always adventuring, independent from the start, go with the flow, always smiling and friendly with all people. It tricked me! My second child was naturally a very needy, fussy guy. He only wanted me and I didn’t have much support but my husband who was great but there’s only so much he could do. Add that to my various vitamin deficiencies and breast feeding, I just felt like a shell … a human pacifier … family members called me the milk maid. It was a very trying time. I was just exhausted all the time. But one day, he began to favor his big brother and husband and I’m left in the dust, lol. He loves me fiercely, and he is the sweetest soul I have ever known. He’s nearly a teen now and while his infant hood into toddlerhood was borderline traumatic for me (because of my emotional state, lol), it’s such a bittersweet emotion watching them grow. My oldest is out of the house. I don’t have piles of laundry. I don’t know what I’m going to do with myself now! So I totally get it, Kim. And you have 5! It’s impressive. You’re doing a fantastic job!
This episode is a jammed pack feast for your eyes! A little bit of this and a little bit of that all right here right now. Come on get happy! We've got things to share on here. Thanks for sharing, Kim! Have a blessed day Wads friends and family. You are here for a purpose and you are loved! xoxo
Wow! Cannot wait to see your new addition on your house! Always appreciate the authenticity of your videos. Take a breather and give yourself permission to be less productive or have an untidy house. You have the most important job of all, being the mom for your beautiful kids. You are like the friend I’ve never met, but I so want to because you are the woman across the room.
You are the gal across the miles as I watch you from Canada. I wish you were a daughter in law of mine. What a sweet thing to comment on your sister in law. You are clever and creative. And fun to watch!
Honestly life gets you. I have 4 kids. Yes laundry is a daily project. Dinner, running here and there. By bed time I am exhausted. But I tell myself daily be thankful for another day of life. I call bullshit on half these women who post stuff with multiple kids that post links to buy this or that each day. Post how perfect life is blah blah. And you aren't trying to buy your viewers. They aren't being honest period. You are!! And that's why I continue to watch you. You are REAL and keep being YOU!!
I loved hearing you talk about your sister-in-law!!!💕 Thank you Kim for always being such an encouragement!!!! I LOVE LOVE LOVE when you upload a new video!!!!!! 💕
Many years ago, I heard a quote that's stuck with me. "Forever is composed of nows". One second at a time is how I try to live my life. In each season you'll have times of feeling like you are drowning and yet time goes so fast. Another quote I love is, " the days are long but the years are short." I never understood it until I looked back in baby pictures and realized in the moment it felt like each day was an eternity but man, it flew by so fast. I blinked and my kids are almost all adults. How did that happen?! I have always been a stay at home mom but for very brief times, and yet I look back and wonder how I missed it all. In reality I didn't miss it in the moment but it went so fast I think I missed it all, at times.
Comparison is the thief of joy, you are amazing, don't ever think differently. We all have parts of our lives that need work, some just hide those parts better than others. I appreciate how real you are, all of the mess and glory. I say that with love.
Kim, l just adore your spirit and heart ❤️ You’re chipping away at the to do list and the pantry is looking 👌 l belly laughed at you talking to the star fruit tree 😆😆 Love plants myself but l swear l can hear them screaming “ l don’t wanna die......😩” when l pick them up. 🥺
You're doing amazing! Your laundry pile looks like mine all the time! Lol! We're a family of 8 and let me tell ya! It gets overwhelming at times....but at the end of the day, the kids get fed and you're alive...and everyone is taken care of....❤❤ you are an amazing mom and person...
There's a mom on my son's soccer team.. Her husband is the coach and an elementsry school gym teacher, her kids are wonderful, SHE is wonderful. She's a travel nurse. I posted on my Facebook a meme and it said "say something nice, I just want to read.." She posted that I'm the kindest person she's met and she is envious of my dedication to my kids and how close we are... I work part time because my husband's hours at his job, we have no help so I take the kids everywhere. Anyway, I've been envious of her this whole time and she's envious of me. 🥺❤️ We are literally the women across the room from eachother and I never put the 2 together until you said the whole quote. Hugs Kim. ❤️
Thank you so much for being so real!!! It’s nice to hear that I’m not the only one who looks at all the rooms that are messy and has to clean the one room to make myself feel better! It’s hard to stay afloat sometimes with littles!! I’m so glad I found your channel and always look forward to any video you post!!! Have a great day!!💕💕
Hi Kim and fam. Greetings from Perth Western Australia. You are an amazing mother, wife and friend. You are an absolute blessing to your family. Please don’t question your productivity. Be kind to yourself. Luv and very best wishes. 😘🐾
Great motivation moment and reminder about what we do. One thing I do is think about what we didn’t do - “I didn’t sit and eat chocolate all day or my kids didn’t play video games all day”. If we get through the day with limited screens, we must have done something right.
Wowza on Elenor’s long hair 🤗. Just like mom’s!! Need more Alex and Wolfgang jiving 🤣 so sweet!! You, Kim are my friend who feeds me well with so much info and blessings like your treasured sister in law is to you!! Always give me a belly laugh. “These are for meeeee” 😂🤣 Rock on girl!! Oh I forgot…my aunt lived near St Petersburg Florida for twenty years and had the healthiest lemon and orange trees in her yard!! I don’t remember there being a lot of sun….seemed like there were trees around her 🤷♀️. Hope you succeed 👍.
You are the special lady across the room. You inspire us with your personality and character. Can't wait too for your addition. Taking care of 5 children and husband, housework. How do you do it? You got this! ❤😊👍
Kim, you are definitely the woman across the room for me!! Some days, most days, I get up and feel so uninspired. What do I do on these days?? Well of course, I turn your videos on and put a little happy in my life and get inspired to get something done. Thank you!!
You are the woman across the room to me, Kim, and always have been. I see an inspiration of a mom. The thoughtful lunches for your kids, the ability to keep a tidy, beautiful home in amongst the daily busyness of life. I strive to be like that! Maybe one day. 😊
I love putting labels on things, as well as writing list etc. Kim you are amazing, the children will have great fun helping you plant and grow things. With the potatoes put them somewhere dark, when ready to plant they take 100 days to grow, video on TH-cam helped explain it all. I'm growing fruit and vegetables this year.
Ohhh so glad they finally started on the addition...one small word of advice, take it with a grain of salt, small white penny tile is a pain in the butt to keep clean, JS! Otherwise it looks awesome!😁
So much variety! Cracked me up when you were telling your tree how much you love it. ♥️ So fun watching your excitement going through the Home Goods bags...can totally relate!
I absolutely love watching your videos. It's so refreshing to realize your not the only one worrying your not doing enough. I love that you keep everything real. Thank you so much.! You are doing such a amazing job and to me your definitely the women across the room! Have a great day!
Sweetie, you fake it, til you make it! You rock! The best tomatoe plants to grow for sauce are Bush Romas. They grow to about 5 ' and grow tons! Fertilize with eggs shells, powdered, and banana peels buried under the soil, near the plants. Any tomatoes can be made into sauce but romas are not as watery. I think whatever scent you pair with , one should be Naroly. 😆 Those grey pants looked very comfy! I live for comfy clothes! The lack of concrete is likely due to the rain and holidays. Concrete needs stable weather to cure, or set up. Keep in mind light wood in a bathroom can go moldy. It does not look so nice then . Sweetie, you may need to higher a Mother's Helper. Just a day a week. Let her get the laundry caught up. Take the pressure off. This is the season for it. Yup, it IS a Seesaw. It is also called a Teetertotter.
You are the woman across the room truly! The amazing thing though, I actually get to learn about your thought processes, insecurities and struggles. Thank you for that because sharing is how we stay grounded (or attempt to). I saw a reel about how lonely motherhood can feel but at the same time there so many mothers out there doing exactly what we are in that moment - rocking a baby to sleep in the middle of the night, washing countless loads of laundry etc. and it’s so true. We are not alone and we are enough ❤
Kim, when you plant those trees, put a barrier around them so the lawn guy sees them and doesn’t drive over them. I’ve seen people put tall wood stakes around them and mesh or chicken wire. I had a neighbor who planted a whole orchard in her yard (6-8 trees). When I had my big garden, I planned where I would put each thing, took soil samples to the county extension office, they gave me a print out of what I needed to augment the soil in that spot. It worked out great, each veggie needed different nutrients. Also, I’m in Pennsylvania, Florida soil and veggies need different care. Recently I’ve seen some other TH-camrs making raised gardens….much better than when I was digging in the dirt on a 1/3 acre!
The woman across the room : As a single lady I have always envied many married friends with husbands and kids. One day I was working and one of those married friends said to me that she envied me my freedom and my ability to go out on my own and do my own thing. I was shocked society had taught me that I was kind of second best a failure for not finding a husband etc. Her comment made me think and be grateful for my life as it is. Can I just thank you Kim for making me laugh as I go tgrough some tough times. I am in awe of what you accomplish with such a large family. Im loving your off the wall presentation and its never boring. Only found you recently but am binging on all the videos and laughing. Bless you and family. CC from Ireland.
Indeed you are my woman across the room!! I married we have 3 children ages 8, 6 and 5, i have a fulltime job as a nurse and my husband has 2 Jobs, i juggle a lot for meals everyday and you teached me to mealprep, grocery lists and so so much more!!! 😘 take it easy on yourself! You are amazing!
Yes, to days where you just feel defeated to some standard, that "someone" in our minds attains better 😂 I am a true believer in what you do: Make a list, speak truth to your accomplishments and know each day is a step to better, not perfection! Praying for your spirit to not falter, your body to stay healthy, and peace to your steps in progress. Love you, lady!! 🥰
You are definitely the woman across the room for me too. ( we are at the same stages in life I just had my 4 baby (3 months old and breastfeeding non stop) stay at home mom . We just moved in a new house and it’s being renovated top to bottom. And you are just so amazing and get everything done , I love the cleaning and organizing and life and good videos you post bc you can do it and so can I ❤ you are my inspiration ❤
Writing down lists really helps, I’m 77 and have medical issues that slows me down. Sometimes, I just forget the little things but they add up. You just need to give yourself grace.
The second you said that the baby needs you mine started crying. 😂 You are the woman across the room for me. You just have a great attitude. My husband says that I need to learn that ideals are just ideals and I think you actually understand that.
It's already been said, but you are the woman across the room for me. Your videos bring me so much joy and motivation. I am always in awe by how much you do and your unending enthusiasm and energy. I wish you knew how much you inspire so many women in so many ways 💗
Love ya Kim. You are the woman across the room! You may not feel productive, but you put one foot in front of the other and get more accomplished than many of us. You rock lady. 💕💕💕
Kim, you are the woman across the room!! You do so much even with 5 kiddos!! I have no idea how you do so much your amazing!! I look forward to all your videos! Also LOVE the Lizzie McGuire blush! You should try the lip gloss in that collection, I love it!
If you do nothing else. You carried and delivered five beautiful human beings. That is amazing. Besides you continue to nurture them and make them happy. Everything else is a bonus.
Just noticing your floor cleaner. Just bought one two days ago . Used it first time today I love it. We live in NJ but spent 1 month AUGUST, in Florida the summer before last looking for a place to live. Never happened when we moved back to NJ we downsized to a 1 bedroom with tile from the front door through the entire apartment. I’m 77 husband 79 , the floors were killing us. So we got the floor cleaner, Bissell, I’m so happy.,thank you for your blog. I saw you using one . I watch you as I’m not that motivated anymore and you have so much energy!,,
Sweet Kim - I’ve NEVER sorted laundry. I’ve been married 25 years. My kids are 20 and 18. It wasn’t a season for me… it was a “who cares”. I can testify that none of us have ever been negatively affected by not sorting laundry! ❤ xo
Omg I am so here for watching your homegrown/canning journey. I’ve always wanted to do those things, but have never taken the plunge. I’ll live vicariously through you until then.
I don't know off the top of my head if there is a gardening tools as much fun as a "whisk" is for cooking but if there is one you;ll find it on your gardening journey. And if there isn't one to use as a theme there are definitely no end of Garden Gnomes waiting to be sprinkled through your soon to be Florida Sustainable Homestead. ...A green thumbs up to your gardening success!!!
Other people with 5, especially in the influencer world have Nanny’s and house keepers and house help and you tackle it all yourself! Give grace to yourself!! You’re amazing
Kim youuuu are the women across the room from me! I’m always inspired by how much you get done and how you’re able to crank videos out with 5 kids. I can hardly get videos edited with two kids 😭
These are my favorite videos, Kim! & I know you probably won’t believe this but to me, you are the woman across the room. I don’t have any woman in my life like you. You truly inspire me & fill my life with so much joy. Because of you, I learn how to not care about being perfect & instead focus on what really matters in life. I’m grateful to have “met” you through YT. Thank you for being you & for being a friend☺️🙏💕 by the way, if you did do a collab with DW, your candle would be called A Mother”s Touch & it would smell fresh & clean like Florida sunshine ☀️
It would smell like citrus and honey or brown sugar, I bet!
I feel the same about her she the woman across the room for me as well
Some day Kim, you’re going to look back and ask yourself “how did I do it all?” You’re an amazing mom, wife and friend to all of us ☺️. You’re doing great and never compare yourself to anyone else 😉.
In All Honesty for me you are the woman across the room as I imagine you are for many of us. I’m so glad to see the addition is finally moving along. We just bought our first home 6 months ago and let me tell ya its been fun making it ours. Keep on rocking kim, your doing awesome!
I completely agree. I am a mom of three grown children, and my life STILL isn’t as put together as Kim’s!
Agreed. I tell my husband all the time, if I lived in FL, I would have to be best friends with her.
Agreed..thanks for sharing so much motivation
OH KIMBERLY, as a momma to 5 that are now growing up 16,18,20,21,23....I PROMISE, you will miss it one day, boy or boy do I!
100% agree!!
You are the woman across the room to me. 💖 you rock Kim!
It can be hard to remember that "it's just a season" when the season you are in feels difficult or overwhelming. Deep breaths my friend! You are doing an AMAZING job!!!
Okay-
40:30 I think, where you said “I’m just one person” I FELT THAT.
And 40:42 when you throw the shorts in the air whilst saying “I need to find everyone’s baskets” I FELT THAT and laughed at the same time! This is the energy I need on a daily basis ❤❤❤
Kim….you are the woman across the room for many of us. Great quote!
Good morning Kim
1st. Here is a huge hug to make you feel better (you said you need a friend)
2nd. YOU are the woman across the room for so many of us. You might not feel as tho you do not have your life together. BUT in my eyes (and I’m sure many) it’s way more put together than others
Give yourself grace.
I absolutely agree with you
1000% agree!
You’re the woman across the room for me!!😁
DW Candle collab scent ideas:
-Spring Water: Purifies the soul!
-Brownie Friday
-Chicken: Salmonella, I dare you!
-The Isles of HomeGoods: Treat yourself!
I’d buy any collab you’re apart of!
Brownieeee!!!!! yes. Great ideas!!
You’re the woman across the internet who inspires me to get stuff done. I don’t know how you make the time to share your life with us, but you do.
That's all you can do. I work as a childcare provider. I have 8 kids that range from 8mo to almost 3 yrs. I tell my coteacher, "We kept them safe and fed today." There are days that we don't get circle time or the activity don't, "but they had fun." One day at a time is how we all need to live life. We got this! I love your videos and suggest your videos to many. Thanks for all the fun! Alex, he is the spitting image of Wentworth. :)
Such a sweet tribute to your sister-in-law. God is good...all the time! 💓💓
You are the woman across the room! You are always so happy and silly with a contagious laugh. I love how relatable you are. ❤
I always laugh when you ask “is that something you’d want to see?” Seriously, we are watching you do laundry and clean your bathrooms. We are going to watch whatever you post
For real!
Yes!!
I think people who “have their life together” have people in their lives that help them get their life together. Lots of people have house cleaners or nanny’s or family that helps them out. It makes a big difference. I am SAHM and it definitely takes a village to raise kids and get “our s**t together!” Give yourself grace like you always say… because you are my “women across the room”. 😊❤🎉
I'm a person with a big personality,I Love to laugh and cut up My Grandpa that my Brothers and I grew up in his and Granmas house,was the biggest cut up.I Love your personality.

You are the woman across the room!!! You are funny, beautiful inside and out. You're a very happy person. Always trying to improve your life and the lives around you. You are creative, smart, a people person that draws people to you. You love and take very good care of your family.

Kim you are the woman across the room, your doing amazing for having 5 kiddos. The blusher looked beautiful on you.💜
2nd Comment-I so hope your sister-in-law sees this video. Do love & appreciate someone so much that you share it with your 367K subscribers is well, Wonderful. Lucky you & her. Thank you Kims sister-in-law for giving her the love, friendship and inspiration that you do!❤❤💙💙💜💜
You are a rockstar every day!!! Just being a stay home mother is an accomplishment and never feel like you haven’t accomplished something! Everyday you accomplish being the best mom you can be! Keep your head high! Your just awesome! Tell yourself that everyday!!!! ❤
God bless your home and your familiy. You are the woman across the room for me, my inspiration! I’m 35, have only two kids, you are super woman you do too much. I Got out of debt recently, I wanna be better, you motivate me to keep on going, get organize, cook and clean! You put a lot of happiness in my days. Thank you, from New York!
Girl! Your theme song just makes me break out and dance in my seat as I work every time it comes on!!! 😂❤
Hello from Canada. We are at a balmy 8 degrees celcius with tons of rain. You are only 1 person but one that does so much. Inspired is what I typically feel from your videos and I love your voice overs they just make me laugh cuz you tell it how it is.

She is super mom and women. Every day I love to learn from her. I married my husband at 20 so she sort of has been raising me into the women I am now 7 years later. Lovely video as always Kim :)
💜💜💜
@The Aussie Family I am so sorry to hear that! That must be horribly difficult for you :( I hope you find your women across the room one day even if it isn’t in your immediate family. I feel so thankful my MIL is so kind but I know that definitely isn’t always the case.
Thanks for keeping me entertained while I vacuumed. Kim, you are still very new postpartum. Please give yourself as much Grace as possible because just because other people have a higher threshold does not make your overwhelm less valid. I love to garden too and getting the little kids in the garden is the great joy of my life. They love helping. They love getting in the dirt. It's fantastic.
The sink strainer can be cleaned on the top shelf of your dishwasher. Just throw it in there once a week or so.
I liked the blush you tried - instant glow.
I love those quotes and will use them. Fail until you don't, amazing it's taking the burden off ourselves and knowing one day we will not fail. Also the woman across the room is so true. It's all in our perception, the grass is always greener concept. You bring a lot of joy to me. Thank you 😊
Kim, you’re amazing! Love love love your videos!
I don’t have my life together by any means (but maybe sometimes it feels like it), but I’m a mom of 6, we homeschool and we’re home A LOT, so I’ve learned some coping skills along the way that maybe might help you?
The number one thing I learned to do as my family grew was to create SYSTEMS for EVERYTHING. ❤️❤️❤️
I made chore charts for kids, and I train them around 7-8 to do a lot of tasks around the house- dishes, laundry, organizing, cleaning, dusting, etc.
I made month-long lists of meals so I don’t have to keep coming up with ideas. I also teach my kids to cook. 🎉
The number two thing is I delegate as much as family can handle.
Not sure if you’ll even read this, because you are so loved with so many comments and probably have all of this figured out anyway. Thanks for making great videos! ❤️
I think a DW candle “women across the room” candle would be a perfect collab 😊
I love watching your videos!! I struggle doing anything and it makes me realize I’m not the only one overwhelmed!!! You make me laugh and feel better about myself and make me want to clean a room until it is done (kinda)! Lol!!! My mom was 28 when my father was killed in an accident at work she had 4 children the oldest having cerebral palsy and was 12 just learning to walk a 10, 8, 4 year old and was 6 months pregnant with me!!! She raised us alone for 8 years and they were the most wonderful years of my life!! She was definitely the lady across the room but we all had chores and she didn’t allow us to slack on them. That was a different time!!!! It was the 1950’s! But you know I always knew I was loved and that was enough!!! So go easy on yourself!!! All they will remember is the time you spent with them!!! Also!!!! DW candles are they a Florida thing or what. I keep looking at all the stores you shop at and I don’t see any?
I put my sink strainer in the dishwasher. Often.
Kim… you don’t understand how much I need and love these videos. I’ve noticed that my depression has been creeping back in and it’s a little scary. But, your videos make me feel like I am hanging out with a friend and we can be productive together. Thank you, friend. ❤️
I feel the same way! anytime I'm down and need cheering up, a Kim video always puts a smile on my face 😊
I understand how you feel. I’ve got ptsd/depression/anxiety and it’s really hard. Thankfully we have Kim to help us get through.
I'm glad the addition is finally underway. You have been so patient. Hope you have a great day Wad's family!!
Kim, You are so transparent and easy to relate to. You inspire so many others even if we aren’t in the same season of life as you. Always keep your sense of humor and positive attitude!
Aww. Sweet little Wolfgang! Love seeing him in your videos, Kim! He looks like Kim to me, but baby faces change over time. You honestly do so much more than the basic survival for your family. That’s the perfect scale to measure your success. Your house is cleaned regularly, your kids are happy and have active social lives, you cook healthy and varied meals, and goodness you spend time with them. That’s a successful woman to me. My oldest was always adventuring, independent from the start, go with the flow, always smiling and friendly with all people. It tricked me! My second child was naturally a very needy, fussy guy. He only wanted me and I didn’t have much support but my husband who was great but there’s only so much he could do. Add that to my various vitamin deficiencies and breast feeding, I just felt like a shell … a human pacifier … family members called me the milk maid. It was a very trying time. I was just exhausted all the time. But one day, he began to favor his big brother and husband and I’m left in the dust, lol. He loves me fiercely, and he is the sweetest soul I have ever known. He’s nearly a teen now and while his infant hood into toddlerhood was borderline traumatic for me (because of my emotional state, lol), it’s such a bittersweet emotion watching them grow. My oldest is out of the house. I don’t have piles of laundry. I don’t know what I’m going to do with myself now! So I totally get it, Kim. And you have 5! It’s impressive. You’re doing a fantastic job!
This episode is a jammed pack feast for your eyes! A little bit of this and a little bit of that all right here right now. Come on get happy! We've got things to share on here. Thanks for sharing, Kim! Have a blessed day Wads friends and family. You are here for a purpose and you are loved! xoxo
Hey Aimee!! Hope you're doing well.
"Hey you have some awesome qualities too, you are amazing and you are the woman across the room" yes you Aimee ❤️
@@brilliantbutblue Right back at you, luv!🥰
Wow! Cannot wait to see your new addition on your house! Always appreciate the authenticity of your videos. Take a breather and give yourself permission to be less productive or have an untidy house. You have the most important job of all, being the mom for your beautiful kids. You are like the friend I’ve never met, but I so want to because you are the woman across the room.
You are the gal across the miles as I watch you from Canada. I wish you were a daughter in law of mine. What a sweet thing to comment on your sister in law. You are clever and creative. And fun to watch!
Kim you are the women across the room. I wish I had your energy,at 60 I just can’t get the energy like I use to. You are amazing.
Honestly life gets you. I have 4 kids. Yes laundry is a daily project. Dinner, running here and there. By bed time I am exhausted. But I tell myself daily be thankful for another day of life. I call bullshit on half these women who post stuff with multiple kids that post links to buy this or that each day. Post how perfect life is blah blah. And you aren't trying to buy your viewers. They aren't being honest period. You are!! And that's why I continue to watch you. You are REAL and keep being YOU!!
I loved hearing you talk about your sister-in-law!!!💕 Thank you Kim for always being such an encouragement!!!! I LOVE LOVE LOVE when you upload a new video!!!!!! 💕
I need a friend today to ❤️. That's funny. Because I look at you as the woman across the room ❤️
Many years ago, I heard a quote that's stuck with me. "Forever is composed of nows". One second at a time is how I try to live my life. In each season you'll have times of feeling like you are drowning and yet time goes so fast. Another quote I love is, " the days are long but the years are short." I never understood it until I looked back in baby pictures and realized in the moment it felt like each day was an eternity but man, it flew by so fast. I blinked and my kids are almost all adults. How did that happen?! I have always been a stay at home mom but for very brief times, and yet I look back and wonder how I missed it all. In reality I didn't miss it in the moment but it went so fast I think I missed it all, at times.
Glad you had two hands today! Thank you for putting a little happy in our day 😘
Keep your family feeling loved and special . Thats all that really matters. :)
Comparison is the thief of joy, you are amazing, don't ever think differently. We all have parts of our lives that need work, some just hide those parts better than others. I appreciate how real you are, all of the mess and glory. I say that with love.
Kim, l just adore your spirit and heart ❤️ You’re chipping away at the to do list and the pantry is looking 👌 l belly laughed at you talking to the star fruit tree 😆😆 Love plants myself but l swear l can hear them screaming “ l don’t wanna die......😩” when l pick them up. 🥺
You're doing amazing! Your laundry pile looks like mine all the time! Lol! We're a family of 8 and let me tell ya! It gets overwhelming at times....but at the end of the day, the kids get fed and you're alive...and everyone is taken care of....❤❤ you are an amazing mom and person...
There's a mom on my son's soccer team.. Her husband is the coach and an elementsry school gym teacher, her kids are wonderful, SHE is wonderful. She's a travel nurse. I posted on my Facebook a meme and it said "say something nice, I just want to read.." She posted that I'm the kindest person she's met and she is envious of my dedication to my kids and how close we are... I work part time because my husband's hours at his job, we have no help so I take the kids everywhere. Anyway, I've been envious of her this whole time and she's envious of me. 🥺❤️ We are literally the women across the room from eachother and I never put the 2 together until you said the whole quote. Hugs Kim. ❤️
OMG you crack me up! I always feel normal when I watch you. You are our woman across the room!
You conquered the 'mountain '!! Yay, you!! Cute Lil clip of Alex & Wolfgang!! ❤💯💯❤💯
Happy weekend!!
Thank you so much for being so real!!! It’s nice to hear that I’m not the only one who looks at all the rooms that are messy and has to clean the one room to make myself feel better! It’s hard to stay afloat sometimes with littles!! I’m so glad I found your channel and always look forward to any video you post!!! Have a great day!!💕💕
“All of this is just for me, waahhhhaaa”! I love it!
Hi Kim and fam. Greetings from Perth Western Australia. You are an amazing mother, wife and friend. You are an absolute blessing to your family. Please don’t question your productivity. Be kind to yourself. Luv and very best wishes. 😘🐾
While you are sweating, we are going out to snowblow/ shovel 5 + inches of snow.
The plus is that it is 31 degrees !
Love watching your show!
Thank you for the great video! Have a wonderfully happy day!
Great motivation moment and reminder about what we do. One thing I do is think about what we didn’t do - “I didn’t sit and eat chocolate all day or my kids didn’t play video games all day”. If we get through the day with limited screens, we must have done something right.
Wowza on Elenor’s long hair 🤗. Just like mom’s!! Need more Alex and Wolfgang jiving 🤣 so sweet!! You, Kim are my friend who feeds me well with so much info and blessings like your treasured sister in law is to you!! Always give me a belly laugh. “These are for meeeee” 😂🤣 Rock on girl!! Oh I forgot…my aunt lived near St Petersburg Florida for twenty years and had the healthiest lemon and orange trees in her yard!! I don’t remember there being a lot of sun….seemed like there were trees around her 🤷♀️. Hope you succeed 👍.
Excited to see the add on whenever it’s done 😀
You are the special lady across the room. You inspire us with your personality and character. Can't wait too for your addition. Taking care of 5 children and husband, housework. How do you do it? You got this! ❤😊👍
Sweetheart, you are the woman across the room. I can't even imagine being as busy as you. It makes me tired to think about it. You are amazing!
Kim, you are definitely the woman across the room for me!! Some days, most days, I get up and feel so uninspired. What do I do on these days?? Well of course, I turn your videos on and put a little happy in my life and get inspired to get something done. Thank you!!
You are the woman across the room to me, Kim, and always have been. I see an inspiration of a mom. The thoughtful lunches for your kids, the ability to keep a tidy, beautiful home in amongst the daily busyness of life. I strive to be like that! Maybe one day. 😊
Awe!! The way that Wolfgang looked at you at the end!! 🥹🥰
I love putting labels on things, as well as writing list etc. Kim you are amazing, the children will have great fun helping you plant and grow things. With the potatoes put them somewhere dark, when ready to plant they take 100 days to grow, video on TH-cam helped explain it all. I'm growing fruit and vegetables this year.
Ohhh so glad they finally started on the addition...one small word of advice, take it with a grain of salt, small white penny tile is a pain in the butt to keep clean, JS! Otherwise it looks awesome!😁
So much variety! Cracked me up when you were telling your tree how much you love it. ♥️ So fun watching your excitement going through the Home Goods bags...can totally relate!
Your children will adore the things with your hand writing on them
Wolfgang growing..bless his heart.
I absolutely love watching your videos. It's so refreshing to realize your not the only one worrying your not doing enough. I love that you keep everything real. Thank you so much.! You are doing such a amazing job and to me your definitely the women across the room! Have a great day!
Sweetie, you fake it, til you make it! You rock!
The best tomatoe plants to grow for sauce are Bush Romas. They grow to about 5 ' and grow tons! Fertilize with eggs shells, powdered, and banana peels buried under the soil, near the plants.
Any tomatoes can be made into sauce but romas are not as watery.
I think whatever scent you pair with , one should be Naroly. 😆
Those grey pants looked very comfy! I live for comfy clothes!
The lack of concrete is likely due to the rain and holidays. Concrete needs stable weather to cure, or set up.
Keep in mind light wood in a bathroom can go moldy. It does not look so nice then .
Sweetie, you may need to higher a Mother's Helper. Just a day a week. Let her get the laundry caught up. Take the pressure off. This is the season for it.
Yup, it IS a Seesaw. It is also called a Teetertotter.
You are the woman across the room truly! The amazing thing though, I actually get to learn about your thought processes, insecurities and struggles. Thank you for that because sharing is how we stay grounded (or attempt to). I saw a reel about how lonely motherhood can feel but at the same time there so many mothers out there doing exactly what we are in that moment - rocking a baby to sleep in the middle of the night, washing countless loads of laundry etc. and it’s so true. We are not alone and we are enough ❤
You are so productive! I know that a little one is hard, but you are keeping it real, and I always enjoy it.
Kim, when you plant those trees, put a barrier around them so the lawn guy sees them and doesn’t drive over them. I’ve seen people put tall wood stakes around them and mesh or chicken wire. I had a neighbor who planted a whole orchard in her yard (6-8 trees).
When I had my big garden, I planned where I would put each thing, took soil samples to the county extension office, they gave me a print out of what I needed to augment the soil in that spot. It worked out great, each veggie needed different nutrients. Also, I’m in Pennsylvania, Florida soil and veggies need different care. Recently I’ve seen some other TH-camrs making raised gardens….much better than when I was digging in the dirt on a 1/3 acre!
The woman across the room : As a single lady I have always envied many married friends with husbands and kids. One day I was working and one of those married friends said to me that she envied me my freedom and my ability to go out on my own and do my own thing. I was shocked society had taught me that I was kind of second best a failure for not finding a husband etc. Her comment made me think and be grateful for my life as it is. Can I just thank you Kim for making me laugh as I go tgrough some tough times. I am in awe of what you accomplish with such a large family. Im loving your off the wall presentation and its never boring. Only found you recently but am binging on all the videos and laughing. Bless you and family. CC from Ireland.
🤣😂🤣 Lol I brush my hair every two weeks 😅 🙃 too funny Kim! Love 💘 the shopping haul.
You are the woman across the room for me Kim! 💕 PS that Lizzie blush is perfect on you!!
Indeed you are my woman across the room!! I married we have 3 children ages 8, 6 and 5, i have a fulltime job as a nurse and my husband has 2 Jobs, i juggle a lot for meals everyday and you teached me to mealprep, grocery lists and so so much more!!! 😘 take it easy on yourself! You are amazing!
By the way i am from Belgium and you alse teached me Amazon! Hhhhh
Yes, to days where you just feel defeated to some standard, that "someone" in our minds attains better 😂 I am a true believer in what you do: Make a list, speak truth to your accomplishments and know each day is a step to better, not perfection!
Praying for your spirit to not falter, your body to stay healthy, and peace to your steps in progress. Love you, lady!! 🥰
You are definitely the woman across the room for me too. ( we are at the same stages in life I just had my 4 baby (3 months old and breastfeeding non stop) stay at home mom . We just moved in a new house and it’s being renovated top to bottom. And you are just so amazing and get everything done , I love the cleaning and organizing and life and good videos you post bc you can do it and so can I ❤ you are my inspiration ❤
Writing down lists really helps, I’m 77 and have medical issues that slows me down. Sometimes, I just forget the little things but they add up. You just need to give yourself grace.
The second you said that the baby needs you mine started crying. 😂
You are the woman across the room for me. You just have a great attitude. My husband says that I need to learn that ideals are just ideals and I think you actually understand that.
Kim you are the ultimate woman across the room!
You do so much and are an inspiration to me.
Also the blush looks stunning on you ❤
Good job momma you are the woman across the room 👏 👍 😀 ❤️ 💙
It's already been said, but you are the woman across the room for me. Your videos bring me so much joy and motivation. I am always in awe by how much you do and your unending enthusiasm and energy. I wish you knew how much you inspire so many women in so many ways 💗
Love ya Kim. You are the woman across the room! You may not feel productive, but you put one foot in front of the other and get more accomplished than many of us. You rock lady. 💕💕💕
Kim, you are the woman across the room!! You do so much even with 5 kiddos!! I have no idea how you do so much your amazing!! I look forward to all your videos! Also LOVE the Lizzie McGuire blush! You should try the lip gloss in that collection, I love it!
If you do nothing else. You carried and delivered five beautiful human beings. That is amazing. Besides you continue to nurture them and make them happy. Everything else is a bonus.
Just noticing your floor cleaner. Just bought one two days ago . Used it first time today I love it. We live in NJ but spent 1 month AUGUST, in Florida the summer before last looking for a place to live. Never happened when we moved back to NJ we downsized to a 1 bedroom with tile from the front door through the entire apartment. I’m 77 husband 79 , the floors were killing us. So we got the floor cleaner, Bissell, I’m so happy.,thank you for your blog. I saw you using one . I watch you as I’m not that motivated anymore and you have so much energy!,,
Sweet Kim - I’ve NEVER sorted laundry. I’ve been married 25 years. My kids are 20 and 18. It wasn’t a season for me… it was a “who cares”. I can testify that none of us have ever been negatively affected by not sorting laundry! ❤ xo
Omg I am so here for watching your homegrown/canning journey. I’ve always wanted to do those things, but have never taken the plunge. I’ll live vicariously through you until then.
I don't know off the top of my head if there is a gardening tools as much fun as a "whisk" is for cooking but if there is one you;ll find it on your gardening journey. And if there isn't one to use as a theme there are definitely no end of Garden Gnomes waiting to be sprinkled through your soon to be Florida Sustainable Homestead. ...A green thumbs up to your gardening success!!!
Other people with 5, especially in the influencer world have Nanny’s and house keepers and house help and you tackle it all yourself! Give grace to yourself!! You’re amazing
I remember those days and I think you're awesome ❤️🤗🙂
Kim youuuu are the women across the room from me! I’m always inspired by how much you get done and how you’re able to crank videos out with 5 kids. I can hardly get videos edited with two kids 😭
You talking to the tree 🤣🤣 you’re my favorite!
