Hey, Ms. Kim!! I work for Kohl's and know for a fact that when Kohl's Cash "expires" you have ten more days to use it at the store before it's totally expired. Just an FYI. Merry Christmas!!!
Lex who , Kim??
Glad to get an insider tip!! 🎉
@@shopwithjen I don’t know her last name… haha hold on-- Fitzgerald!
You have to ask for it when you check out though.
I am 51. I have three kids. My oldest son is 32, my middle son is 29, and my daughter is 21. I found out on Thanksgiving that my 29-year-old son and his wife are making me a grandma! I'm SO excited. 💖
I have four grown kids ages 22-26. Two are married, one engaged, and youngest is a senior in college. We recently got custody of our 5 month old grandson, so starting all over! Your videos are such a joy. Thanks for sharing your life with us.
I'm 28 with no kids and not sure I want/can have kids. My husband and I aren't in a rush to make a decision, but it feels like society wants to rush us. I really enjoy watching family vloggers to understand what life is like with kiddos. You're one of my favs because I feel like I can get an HONEST experience which I'm endlessly grateful for.
Take your time, girl! People rush my sister too who is also 28, soon to be 29. She ignores every last one of them lol. Having kids are a blessing, but it's also a blessing to enjoy life with your partner!
Hey don't let people rush you. It's you and your spouses decision. Both of my kids decided not to have any at all and that's ok too. Having kids is a lifetime responsibility.
You need to do what's right for 'your' family. And I mean your husband and self. Because kids are great but much like a superpower." ...with great power, come great responsibility"
And there is nothing wrong with just enjoying your time with hubby. I am just saying
The younger you start the better. Trust me, still young to enjoy grand kiddos! Happy fruitfully multiplying!!!
Definitely wait if that's what you feel like doing. But dont wait too long because the older you get the harder it'll be to get pregnant. At age 35 is when you're considered high risk.
Alex trying on the jeans….priceless!! And the baby cooing and smiling so precious! Soup looked yummy! Have a good day family!! ☀️🎄☀️🎄
I have a 4 month old girl named Eve. My husband and I are 38 years old. She wasn't planned but is the best thing that has ever happened to us. We definitely don't have our lives together but we now have a reason to do it. I've watched your channel for years and am so grateful for your knowledge and realism.
❤❤❤
We are the same, except I’m 22 and my husband is 24. We were already getting bored but now we live for our son! I wouldn’t have it any other way🥰
My daughter is an Evie too short for Evelyn
First off...I just recently found your channel and I love you so much! So...phase of life you ask?? Well, I just turned 63...I raised two daughters alone (widow)...who are now 33 and 37. The 37-year-old had two boys...the oldest is 5 and the youngest just turned 3. The oldest is autistic, so that adds a whole new level!! I've been the legal guardian of the oldest since he was 1 1/2 and the youngest since the day he was born. I guess what I'm trying to say is do NOT think this phase is over and done...it can creep back around and life can really surprise you! Man makes plans and God laughs...never have I known that to be so true!! But...they are my heart and I wouldn't have it any other way. God bless you for putting a little laughter in my day...and never forget lady, you are a ROCK STAR! :)
I am 47 and my husband is 57. We have a 7 year old boy and a 2 year old girl. We are tired but so thankful for our kids they have brought us so much joy.
Hey there! Mom of 5 here- 18,16,11 and 2year old identical twin girls. And my husband isn’t a spring chicken 😅. The twins were a “how’d that happen…that wasn’t supposed to happen”. But they’ve blessed us beyond belief!
I feel like that 4-6 month mark is a turning point. Things do get easier! Hang in there!!
We have 8 and 5 year old boys and then a "how'd that happen" 🤪 identical twin boys born 5 weeks ago. Just trying to enjoy the newborn phase and make it to the 4-6mo turning point 😀
I have 7 babies… 19, 18, 16, 14, 12, almost 9, and almost 7. My oldest graduated from high school the same year my youngest started kindergarten. I’m finally at the phase you’re referring to, where I can do more without having any littles to worry about. They can all feed themselves and wipe their own butts (😋😂)BUT… I will tell you, while it DOES get easier with no babies dependent on you 24/7, it is a trade off, because teenagers are just as difficult and time consuming. Babies know nothing and need you for everything, teenagers know everything and need you for nothing (🙄😵💫), so it really never ends. So I definitely know where you’re coming from, and while you yearn for the next phase (I did too), don’t rush it. Today you can hold them in your arms, tomorrow they’re grown and preparing to move out on their own.
Stephanie, I enjoyed reading your mom advice. You sound like Kimberly expressing herself, down the road!!! ❤🤗
Amen
3 kids ages 32, 28 and 25. Time goes by in a blink of an eye. Enjoy every phase. You are a joy!💖💖💖
Wolfgang's "talking" is so sweet. I miss all those things!
Just had my first baby in may, she's almost 7 months old and already wants to walk! It is all going so fast, it makes me want to cry! It is truly crazy how it is possible to love a person SO much! I am constantly overwhelmed with my love for her.
My grandma use to say when they r fast in doing things like walking,they r making way for another one....my girls were 2 1/2 yrs apart…cherish it,they grow soo fast!!
My first was early at every thing.even birth. She started walking at 7mo.and kept going. She is forty now with three boys of her own. Hold em tight. It does go fast. Have an awesome sauce day 🤗
I can feel your heart ♥️. We only have one and adopted, his whole infantcy I almost felt panic at how fast time was passing. He's our only child and as older parents I knew he would be the only one. Enjoy your precious baby, time flies. ♥️🍼🐣
I recorded everything lol! The day my daughter wore her 1st pair of pants, I bout cried! It was the cutest thing! Nobody understood how monumental it was to me bc she'd always worn onesies. At 9lb 2oz, we practically skipped over newborn/infant clothes. I've got countless pics & vids, & I cherish them:) At 24, she now appreciates them, too!
@@trishgels The song by Alabama ,Never Be One Again... something like that. I cried when she turned one, my sil and mil laughed and made fun of me. Everything she did I wrote it down. My second daughter didn't get the same. I had mom brain by then. Wrote some things down for her.
Alex modeling was hysterical!!!
We have two sons both in their 40’s. Remember the baby days of being totally exhausted. I still have piles of laundry and piles of bills. Some things never change.
I'm laughing so hard I'm crying about the jeans. I feel like every woman struggles to find pants and especially when ordering online. Thanks for being so real and also for giving me a good laugh today. 😃
I am 36, I have a 17 year old son, 16 year old daughter and just gave birth on November 5th to a precious baby boy. Not planned and didn’t even think it was still possible, but Gods plans have never failed us. It’s been such a blessing yet such an adjustment for us. I know exactly what you mean about loving the newborn stage and taking every moment in, but also being ready for the next stage lol.
I have a girl and a boy. Oldest is 2 and youngest is 1. I wouldn't be half the mom I am without your friendship. Being a mom 24/7 can be stressful and im glad you constantly put a smile on my face, give me company and remind me to enjoy this season of life im in because it won't last forever.
Hey party people it’s Kim, yay take your seats get settled let’s go 🌸
Kim, I am 45 and have 5 kids as well, 23,22,20,18 and 16 :)
Hi Kim. I have been watching you for about 4 years now. I have 4 children. B-24, G-20, G-17, B-15yo
Had my last when I was 33. I knew I was done when I had my 4th. Now we get to look forward to the next stage of life like grand babies someday. I Love Watching you bc you bring so much inspiration to all of us. Thanks kim for being a friend💜
Since you asked…. I have four children, one from each decade! First born in 1969, 1972, 1981 and 1997! Yep 50 years of hands on mom-dom! Also had three extended family boys live with me throughout their school years. They are all grown up and out of the house. Empty nest took a bit to get used to…. I volunteered, joined, did everything ….. over did everything. I didn’t know how to slow down or say “no”….. finally got it together…. Love watching TH-cam, doing art, socializing with “girl friends”….. that’s the one thing I didn’t know how much I missed. Life is good. ❤
Oh my goodness. Wolfgang is so adorable!!! FYI, we like your chit-chatty self.
Phase of life: first year with all three kids in school full time. I’ve been a stay at home mom since my first was born 10 years ago, and I’ll admit, I’m having a bit of an identity crisis. Also loving the change of pace and being able to complete a task the same day I start it.
I'll be in your shoes in August! I'm scared lol
Kim, I am 45 and have 5 kids as well, 23,22,20,18 and 16 :)
Mama of 3 boys here, they are 8 5 and 1 and he is my last. I felt a strange sense of peace when he was born I knew that was it, knew I would never go through pregnancy, labour or delivery again and it was so calming. We always planned for 2 then we had an accidental pregnancy that we sadly lost and I knew my heart had space so we had our bonus boy and he truly has completed us 💙💙💙
We are in our late sixty's our children are grown ...51,49,48,47 ... I love watching you brings back memories. and makes me so glad we have grandchildren and Greats. Stay real.
I always like BEFORE I watch because Kim brings awesomeness 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰
Same, lol
Same😁
Same😁
Me three.
I’m 30 this year and I’ve got five kiddos: 6,5,3,2 and 6 months and I love that you’re so open about how overwhelming this stage is. I also love that you don’t edit out the piles of laundry or dishes cause that’s exactly what I have every day and I feel like I’m doing motherhood wrong sometimes when watching videos so thank you for the camaraderie in the midst of all this chaos. I truly love my life and my kiddos but I am glad I’m not the only overwhelmed mom out there.
Of course it's overwhelming with five small kids! You are NOT the only one. I am 36 and have three kids (almost 9y, 6y and 4 months old) and still it's often overwhelming! Don't know how you do it mama! 💪
Wolfgang is growing so fast love his sweet baby talk. Enjoy each and every stage in a blink of an eye he will be running and playing with his brother and sisters.
The potato soup looks delicious, warm, and a easy recipe that is perfect for the season.
Alex trying the jean's on was so entertaining.
Thanks for endless happy in my day's.
Tip: You can. Freeze milk and have on hand for later😌
I totally understand all the emotions waging war in your brain! I have 5 children (2 girls 23, 17 and 3 boys 21, 19 and 15). Life can be insane but the laughter they bring to my life brings me joy. Hang in there!
I have 3 kids. Had them all in 4 years and it was hard as crap! Especially when my 3rd had colic and my other 2 were still very much in need of me. The youngest is about to be 9 on Sunday and I feel like I am truly enjoying motherhood now. Which really started in the last few years. We have our challenges having teenagers and preteens now but I finally feel like okay this is the phase of motherhood I can handle. (for now) and am truly enjoying it.
For the *addresses on envelopes* you could get those Avery labels at Staples and they have a template on Microsoft Word where you type out the address and then print them onto the labels. PLUS as a bonus you only have to create it once and each year you can add or subtract people from your Christmas card list. Saves SO much time. ❤
I’m 36 and I have 4 boys, I had 4 under 5 years old, which was crazy but I wouldn’t have it any other way! They are now 11, almost 10, 8 and 6. I completely agree with you! The post nappy (Australian word for diaper) stage was lovely, but I noticed the schooling stage was the biggest change for me! I finally had space to think about who I am, besides being a wife and mum! Finding your own identity after having kids is no joke! Keep up the great work Mumma! We appreciate you sharing your real life with us!!! 💜💜
I have 3 daughters that are now 23,26,and 30 I’m in the empty nest part of life and look back and think how fast time flew by. I remember when times were hectic but what I wouldn’t give…Don’t blink!
Wolfgang is getting so big and he is adorable beyond words!!! The potato soup looks really good, love the rug, I laughed over the jeans and most of all enjoy watching your videos!!
I always enjoy seeing Wolfgang making an appearance. Such a cutie! No kids of my own, so I'll just live vicariously (sort of) through you.
OMG Kim I’m 6 mins into this video and you are trying on the jeans 😂😂😂😂😂😂 That was a good laugh! Online clothes shopping is certainly a roll of the dice!
I have a 16 year-old daughter and wanted 3-4 kids but had fertility issues and lost 2 babies to miscarriage. I’m always intrigued by larger families and think that’s why I enjoy your family so much🙂. I can tell how blessed you feel everyday! On another note, the jeans try-on (both you and Alex) had me just dying😂😂😂!
Good morning Wads! It’s always great when Wolfgang makes an appearance! Kim, thank you for always keeping it real! You are so relatable even tho our lives are very different. I’m a mom of one 8 year old girl. And I still have the worry of if I’m doing enough, teaching enough, being present enough to raise a decent human being. ANYWAY! Thank you for being a friend, Kim! ❤
Your weekly vlogs motivate me as a young mom of 1
If u like tongs and spatulas, u should try the spatula tongs! I love them!
I have a 15 month, 4 year old, and a 5 year old😮💨 I’m EXHAUSTED with life. I’m so heartbroken that my last baby is already learning so much and growing way faster than I want her to. I have crying day where I want 1 more but then there are days when I’m so overwhelmed and really happy we are done.
I’m so thankful for you and you definitely put a little happy in my day everyday! I typically watch you at night when I’m cooking dinner because it’s my only “free” time😂❤️❤️
I am 39 with my first baby. He is 2&1/2 months. 😊been hard adjustment with a new born but I am so grateful 🥹 I waited so long for him n he was worth the wait ❤ your momma videos help so much. Love you Kim
It's my favorite time of the day... hanging out with the best party people! I make that same potato soup recipe, except I double it (except for the bacon, which is probably x4🤣) I'm currently in the mom season of desperately trying to feed a 6'3" teen, a hollow legged preteen, and 2 growing girls while still maybe having leftovers for my lunch! Every phase is an adventure!
I’m pregnant with my 4th and last, my kids are just turning 5, 3 and 18mo.
I’m looking forward to having a life again one day without the constant whining and I want juice and snacks ❤. I really admire how you handle daily life, keep doing what you’re doing. 😊
You are so motivating, Kim! I wish I could buy a bottle of your energy! Fantastic way to get my day started is watching Ms.Whisk and her beautiful family! Love the baby time!
Hi Kim
I have one daughter who just turned 13 in September She is our miracle baby after many loss and heart ache and loss after her. My husband and myself would have definitely had more children but it was not in our cards. I feel blessed and grateful for my amazing beautiful miracle every day and we couldn’t ask for more ❤️
You’re doing better than you probably think you are! I’m 56 with a 13 yr old boy. Lovin every minute of it ( most days)!
Morning one and all! It's time for 40 minutes of happy. Everything is happening today. Marvin and Tammy make an appearance, laundry and Wolfgang wants to tell you all about it so much. "ANYWAY" Have a blessed day, Wads fam and friends. YOU are loved! xoxo
👍🏾🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
Oh GIRL, after 5 kids i HATE buying jeans uhhh i feel ya!
He’s one of the cutest babies I’ve ever seen! Y’all are blessed ❤
Hi Kim! I have 4 kids.
Daughter 28, son 24, son 14, son 11. I started early. My husband and I married at 16 and 17 years old. Still going strong! Not many young couples can say that! We've beat the odds! We now have 3 grandchildren! Being 43 & 45 and having grandchildren is awesome!
Podcasts- I like Mr. Ballen!
I'm 42 with 4 kids ages 18, 14, 12, and 11. Every stage with kids is a new adventure. I love them all!
Hey Kim! I'm a mom of 4 ages 14, 11 (almost 12), 7 (almost 8), and 18 months. The last 2 large gaps were not necessarily on purpose. Having kids close together can be challenging, but having them far apart can be too. We were completely out of baby and little kid stage and thought we might be done, not by choice. Then God said, "Nope, here's one more!" We're so thankful, but man we're doing it all over again!
Also, totally relate to all the birthdays around the holidays that's us too! 🙋♀️🎈🎄 November, December, and January are crazy around here too! 🤪
Our oldest was graduating college, when our youngest was starting kindergarten. Definitely challenging but so worth it. We had 4 kiddos. The first two we had within 2 years of each other, waited 7 years to have #3....the we too thought we were done, but God said...lets make it an even 4.
Hey Kim! I also have 5 kids ages 15 to 6. I was 39 when I got pregnant with my last baby. It was harder on my body at that point and I knew he was my last. I love that my kids are older and can enjoy things that we do. Definitely don't miss getting up in the middle of the night. But on the other hand I do miss those baby snuggles. Every phase is different and you have to find the beauty in it.
I'm at the stage of motherhood that doesn't get talked about much. I have two daughters, Kendrix 24, married and working on getting her masters and Nadine 21 in college. But I have found this part of life is a little lonely. They don't come home as much as I would like. And this time of year some of our old Christmas traditions have to get done by just me and I miss having them home to help with stuff. No one really talks about the feelings that come with your kids getting older and getting married and starting their adult life. Don't get me wrong I am so very proud of both of them and the wings I help make are working wonderfully. I just miss having the day to day things with them! That is why I love watching you helps me remember the things I did when my girls were young. ❤
My 2 girls are 21 and 19! Amen ! I thought for years I just want time to my self! Now I miss them sooo much! I'm the mom, but they are my best friends! We just dont get to spend enough time together and they are loving making there own mistakes! The quote days are long but the years are short. It's so true!
Always be confident in who you are, what you do, and what you want to achieve. There may be difficult times, but the troubles you face will make you trust and believe in yourself. So always be determined and never give up. Have a Beautiful and Blessed day and week. See you next video. Stay safe and healthy. God Bless.
Thank you, Alma and all of that right back at you, dear friend. May God watch over you and Tony!💗
Good morning sweet Alma I hope you have a blessed day and may God’s grace be bountiful for you and yours
@@aimee2234 you're welcome sweet friend. Thank you.
@@FaithyandOtis..Massachusetts morning Faithy and Otis. Thank you. You too.
@@MrsAlmaTrumble 🥰
OMG! The making new friends awkwardness! I felt that in my soul! I was dropping my son off at pre-k and found myself talking to another mom. First just quick comments about the weather and whatnot, but the more we talked the more I was like 'She gets me!'! We have the same anxieties, our kids do the same stupid stuff, we like a lot of the same niche things, and her son is in the same class with my son! I remember driving home with a big dumb smile and talked to my hubby (who works from home) and cheered "I made a friend!!....sort of." Cause like, how DO I ask for her socials without coming off as weird? And what if she doesn't want to be friends with me? UGH! -_- And now that the weather is getting colder she hibernates in her car and I don't get to talk to her! X(
Its tricky for sure! We need a mom friend app lol. I keep getting burned because I clicked with a few moms and was so excited about making friends but then they only wanted to add me on IG to send me their MLM product info 🤣
@@joannasaadati8810 there is an app called Meetup. My kids are now 10 and 7, so I'm in a different stage and I used the app when my oldest was a newborn, but the app still exists. But at the time, I didn't have family around cause I lived in a different state and I made lifelong friends through it. Just look up mom's groups in your local area. And have some confidence. Regardless of an app.. you can just ask for their number and explain maybe you can have a playdate sometime. A lot of moms are in the same boat, that's also how I've met mom friends as my kids are now school age.
Looking back... I"m in my 60's now and raised my son all alone. It was terribly lonely so I say don't hesitate - write a note on a little card like "hey, if you ever just want to hang out or grab coffee, I'd be all in" and give her your number. As I got older I became more confident in taking risks like that and ended up with some really great friendships. If you never hear from her, no big deal :-).
I’m 34 and just had my 4th kid. we have had 4 kids in 5 years! So i have a recently turned 5 yo, a 3yo, a 1yo and a (almost) 1 month old.
I’m touched out too. I feel like recovery is taking forever this time. I watch your videos because you are very positive and it’s encouraging as i am cleaning my home and doing the day to day stuff. I hope that you have someone who encourages you as well. It’s ok that it is hard being a mom, it is our mission field.
Well I’m not a young mother, but I love your videos. You always put some happy in my day. I’m 57,I have 4 kids, 37, 35, 31, and 25. I also have a 17 year old granddaughter.
I have 10 kids. Oldest 31 youngest 14. 8 girls and 2 boys. I loved every stage. I often felt overwhelmed but I prayed a lot and God filled in the gaps🥰❤️❤️. Hang in there. You’re doing great!!
The laundry room rug is everything!! It’s gorgeous ❤
I'm 23 and my husband is 25. We have a 4 year old daughter and 8 month old son. We just bought our first house in March of last year. Love your videos so much!
My kids are now teenagers and always busy. I miss them needing me. Enjoy them while they are still young and need you.
I have two sons who are now 40 and 43 years old and I truly miss the chaos of their childhoods....one day will be the last day you pick them up but you won't know which day that is. Life is perplexing, sometimes, especially from 20 through to 40, everything feels like it's lasting forever, then one day in your early 40's you blink and when you open your eyes again you are suddenly 65! Enjoy your family whilst you have it lovey..nothing lasts forever...take care from the UK...🇬🇧 🎄 💖 😊
I have 6 kids..and I'm a registered nurse...I know exactly how you feel. But with each phase of our children's lives, there are different types of worry. My kids ages are 28, 26,24,22,17,11...I love each of my children but I'm one tired overwhelmed, anxiety ridden, guilty feeling momma.. even with that all said I'm so grateful that they are healthy and that I have them because I couldn't imagine my life without them.. I love watching you but I feel like we are kindred spirits ❤️😊
Yes! Get some JBL waterproof earbuds on Amazon. You can wear just one in your ear, the other one can be charging. You can stop what you are listening to just by tapping the earbud. It makes baby rocking, chores, etc. so much better!
Also, we love whatever you are able to put out. Don't push it with the 4 videos if you are worn down!
Yes to all of what you're saying about final babies etc. I've had 7 babies - thought we were done at 5, then had a 6th (a son) who passed away after 49 minutes of life 💙, then had one more who was a ginormous breech baby boy and had a csection. Then I turned 40. 🥴 so - 5 boys, 2 girls ages 13, 10, 7, 6, 5, a would-be 2 yr old, and 8 months. Realized I am so, so done, but grieving this childbearing time of life being over. It really is a miraculous thing, which is part of why I enjoy you so much. Such great perspective on birth and motherhood. You are an inspiration! I love the way you cook and I now love serving roasted veggies after seeing you do it. You are doing great, even if you feel like you're drowning. That is kind of the nature of a big family sometimes. But we wouldn't change it for anything, right?!! Hugs to you 💗💗💗
My kids are all grown now. Still have one living at home due to pandemic. I'm at another stage in life dealing with things that life throws at you as you get older. It's true what they say you have to cling and enjoy the wonderful moments as they happen otherwise it can become very overwhelming. I am thankful for the little things each and every day. It helps keep me grounded. Have a wonderful Christmas with your beautiful family 💞
I’m 45 with a 17 and almost 13 years old. I don’t miss their younger years much really and I know that may change. I enjoyed them but I’m happy in this stage of life. It’s nice that they can feed and clothe themselves and entertain themselves. I actually get to do hobbies now. Haha
Hi! I’m 32 yrs old and I have 5 children, 4 boys ages 13,11,9,7 and 1 girl she is 1month old, I absolutely love watching your videos because you rarely put music on when cleaning, I love cleaning and I can listen to you if I’m not watching all the time..
Ending with inaudible mumbling was the best! I can't imagine how full your days and nights are. Thank you for trying to make sure you always have content for us. Any videos you do are always the best. Even chatty ones! ❤️
I have 2 kids - ages 20 and 13. While there is so much to enjoy when they’re young, I love them being older. I feel like you get the best of both worlds; where we can still be the best of friends with each other but I also get to be my own person again
We have a 5yo, 4yo, 3yo and an (almost) 11mo. This is our last to and it’s such a mix of emotions. We call her our “dessert” because she is just the sweetest, calmest. Our fourth baby and we got a more calm and easy going one! 😊
I'm 63 have a son 35 years old and have 1 18 year old granddaughter and a 9 year old grandson...love being a mom and grandmother but getting old isn't fun my golden years are rusty lol,. But no Joke I Thank God for everyday...Thank you for all you do...Pray you and your family have a Blessed Christmas and a wonderful New Year. God Bless 🙏🎄⛄️🦌
I had four kids in four years, the last two were twins! They were hard years but I would not have changed a thing! The twins graduated high school last May and we only have one left at home. I have loved all the seasons of life and look forward to what comes next! They are messy and beautiful!
28 with 3 kids. 7, 2, & 8m. We are all done having kids now and Im finding it alot easier to remember to live in the moment and enjoy things now knowing these are our last "firsts" and feeling like our family is all there/complete.
We have two children 23 & 27. Both are independent and have good job (bonus). I am 10 weeks away from retirement (teaching) and moving. It is hard at first when your children grow and move up and on. Older doesn’t always mean easier but I do remember thinking “am I going to survive diapers, daycare, schools, activities, work etc. when they were younger. It is an exhausting season but someday it will change and you will offer advice to others and think back and say “we did good” when you see the young adults you have grown and molded. 😊
I have a 12 year old daughter and a 4 year old son. My son has autism and my daughter is tube fed. I feel you when you say its sun up to sun down. But it's so worth it! I love being a mama to my two amazing kids!
Good Morning! Love your channel! I am 56 with 4 boys ages 32, 30, 28 and 21. You will love the next stage while there is a bit of a "getting used to it" phase, You will end up with 5 best friends in your grown children and believe me, it is a joy!! All the best! Merry Christmas!!
Good morning ☀️. Another fun start to my day !
I have 5 children, 28,26,24,6 & 4 .. I am approaching 50 with 5 grandchildren 2 of those are now mine the 6&4 .I also take care of the other 3weekdays ages 4,2 & 1 . I am lucky to have them all so close but I will say having all 5 some days isn’t easy . Thank for be a real person and sharing cause it Does help me and sure many others !
I'm closing in on the last part of the stage with kids! I have 5 kids altogether. My oldest son passed away almost 12 years ago at age 19( waiting in heaven patiently for us!), I have a 21 and 20 year old daughters, a 17 and 11 year old sons. So I have been a mother for the last 31 years. But believe it or not, I am a little jealous that you are back to having a newborn. I would love to be back there again. I love that you are honest with yourself, though, and aware of your limitations. This too shall pass and probably quicker than you realize. Love you! Love your videos!
I am an empty nester. I had 2 and my husband had 2 we marrried when they were 8/5 and 7/4. We tried a few years for one of our own but God knew better. And i am now thankful! I have 8 grandchildren (total) between 12-19. I use to miss having babies around but im past that now. You will change with your season you are in. Takes a little adjustment but it will happen.
We like the rug! To answer your kids question: We have 2 kids & 2 grandkids (Son 22 and Daughter 25, she has two munchkins, Boy 10 (woops, no that really isn't his name, LOL - 11 in Feb. and Girl 4 - 5 on Dec 22nd) We are in Birthday season too! 💙We just love being young grandparents (52/53) because everyone thinks they are our kids when we go out with them and we still do everything they want to do, Roller Coasters? YES, Vidoe Games, YES, Bowling and Mini Golf, all the time! etc. etc, etc, I don't know what you want to call our season, but it's great. 😉I do have empty nest because my son moved out last year, but we are all still in the same city (for now), he is the sweetest young man in the world and would do anything for me. Your family is great 💗
I just love that you are a scrapbooker, I get that you do digital because of convenience. I’ve been scrapbooking (traditional) for over 20 years, I have almost 1000 videos on TH-cam so I love that the kids later will also have videos to watch of me making pages it’s like double the memories if that makes sense. Don’t worry when the time is right you can get those albums done just concentrate on making memories and taking pictures ❤❤❤ also don’t forget that you are documenting moments/memories with your videos which is amazing.
4 kids. 25, 18, 15, 11. I was unsure if I was going to be done after my 4th but after she was born I just knew I was ready to be done. I'm ready to move on to the next phase of my life. 🥰
I have 3 boys, 19, 17, 16. I also foster and have had 20 kids come through my home. I too always feel disorganized and unfocused. I love it, never boring.
Mom of 4 boys here, all grown up and moved away. 6 gorgeous grandbabies. LOVE your channel Kim, you always make me smile. 🥰❤️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️🎄
I have 4 kids and our "caboose" is 2. I 100% feel you on the ready to be on to the next stage. When I was pregnant with her and she was a newborn I kept asking "How do I know I'm really done?" "What if I regret a permanent BC method?" But as time went on and the hormones settled down I felt so completely sure that we were 100% done. Our family is complete and I am totally at peace with our decision and excited for the next stage of our lives. Trips where I can actually relax for more than two seconds without someone needing something, a locked door in the bathroom, a quiet shower where I don't have to rush, big and small things. I've loved, loved, loved the little stage, and soaked up every moment I could, but I'm ready to be done.
I noticed that new rug in your last video, it's nice - brightens up the room. A size 31 is a size 10 in women's pants -try Old Navy jeans.
I had 2 boys then when we had an empty nest had a surprise! 19year gap between my middle son and my daughter who is now 3. Meredith and her would be great buddies! Having been through the process before, it was great having freedom. Starting all back over again has been exhausting - especially at an older age (42 when she was born) plus she is STILL NURSING!! I am totally touched out. Thankfully I work outside the home and that is my only "me" time...
I am an audiologist so the decibel question - a dB is a unit of volume. Higher dB is louder.
I had 3 kids in about three and a half years, and I’m so tired. 😂 My kids are almost 4, almost 2, and almost 3 months right now. We didn’t necessarily plan to have them so close together, but I don’t mind it. It’s so hectic, but I’m trying to slow down and enjoy the sweet moments. An older woman told me that’s the way to do it because then they all leave around the same time. 😳. That made me sad and happy at the same time. Really having kids is such a blessing and a privilege even when the days are long.
4 kids (14,12,8,5) thought I'd never feel done but thankfully felt at peace with baby number 4. Loving seeing them grow and thrive and get independent...except my 5 year old he isn't allowed to grow up 😂 he has to be my tiny mouse forever with all the snuggles! ❤❤❤❤
I'm 49 I have a 22 yrs. Old daughter and.... 6yr. Old twin boy's they were definitely a surprise, a blessing..I had them at 43 and as it is and can be so hard ( both ASD,ADHD,SPD) I wouldn't change it for anything..my loves ❤💙💙
I have 3 kids ages 5, 3, and 1. In that stage of life where I can’t pee, eat, sleep, blink or breathe without someone touching me, someone asking for something or hearing someone cry. Yea yea I’ll miss these days one day lol. Thank you for always making dishes and laundry a little enjoyable. Also Wolfgang is just so beautiful as all your kids are, God bless you guys ❤️
I have six children but thy are all adults now lol .First one daughter 36 yr old second one son 33 yr old, third one daughter 31 yr old, then twin boys at 30 yr old , then the baby of the family a boy at 27 yr old , think I was busy for a few years , but I wouldn't change one day of it. Its great when they are all home together, which is every Sunday for for Sunday lunch with my beautiful grandchildren , 2 grandsons and 3 granddaughters, so altogether every Sundays and holidays we are 19 people , and its FANTASTIC . LOL.. Sending love and happiness to you and your family
I don't know what to call my current phase. My oldest is 18 and a Senior in HS. He is planning to go to college 30-45min away and living in a house with several friends. I struggle with this daily. Sometimes he'll come sit by me on the couch and ask me to scratch his back and I will be on the verge of tears because I don't know how much longer this will last.
Then our 2nd is 12. She is so much like I was that it's almost as if I've slipped into a time/space worm hole and exist in both timelines. She is so much fun just to be around.
We are very blessed and I am aware of that. These are the days, RIGHT NOW, that I don't want to end.
We don't have any kids yet but I feel like my window is closing, PCOS sucks. I have been nanning our friends daughter since she was 3mos old, shes now 2. It's the greatest feeling in the World to be needed and wanted by a child. It makes my days brighter and I will do anything for her. She's my little best friend! 😁
I was literally cutting up potatoes, preparing for my own potato soup, when you said you were going to make potato soup. I add broccoli and lots of cheese in mine. I am 47 yrs old, married almost 27 yrs, with 3 boys. They are ages 13, 16 and 19. I love your videos! You are so real and funny. You always make my day. Ok I'm going to drink sone water now.❤😁👍
I'm 50 and a mom and wife and have five kiddos. I've been married for 29 years. I have twins, 27, a 25, 22, & 21 year old.
Two of my kids are married and both have been married for a year and half.
I would not change anything in the world for my family. My husband and kids are a blessing I don't take for granted.
My daughter is 15 (today 🎉), and my son is 8. The time flies by SO fast!!
Wolfgang is SO SWEET! He is just chatting away!!
You amaze me with all that you get done!!
Oh Kim I so understand you! I'm 28 years old mama of 4!!! Oldest who is a boy 7, girl 4, girl 2 and a boy that is newborn and is 5 weeks old!!! I live in Washington state so it's very far from Florida lol but I come there often:) I visit my parents house in Venice Fl:) sometimes I just wish I could move to sunny side state but I love WA for the 4 seasons! And I agree being a mother is a hard job but at the end of the day when u see everyone alive and thriving I feel better because that means I'm doing something right in my life!! I wish I could meet u in person but u are my internet best friend and I always watch you especially when pumping and always looking forward seeing u post videos! I could just watch u talk about most random stuff because somehow we connect and I so understand lol! Anyways wishing u the best:)
I’m 52 and I have four kids 34, 32, 29 and my surprise daughter will be 18 tomorrow. My last baby was a surprise and I had a lot of help from my older kids so I was much less stressed when she was a baby. I do know the craziness and stress of having three little ones close in age and never having a minute! I also went back to work and that made it a lot more stressful. It will get easier, but enjoy every minute while they are young because it goes so fast❤️
I have 3 kids. I have 2 boys 14 and 12 and we were very much content on them. Then 6 years ago, I found out we were expecting our 3rd child. Once we welcomed her, I was so done having kids! And I think I am, but when I see pictures of any of my kids in the baby/ toddler stage I miss it. But then I remember how nice it is to not have to change them constantly or feed them. All 3 kids are very independent and it is really nice!
You are my absolute favorite. Your personality is what definitely makes this the best channel ever. I always laugh watching your videos. And I feel like you're a lot like me with the troubles you go through clothes shopping online, decorating, etc. I've got 4 kids. 13, 12, 8, and 5 and am pursuing my second degree. My 1st is in criminal justice and now I am pursuing my nursing degree.
