I went back and saw the video from 2 years go about the camper. You did an amazing job on fixing it up, it will be ok to just let it go and keep the little house part for a guest house. People today don’t understand when you come from hard times it’s not easy to turn you back and let it go so easily. My husband has a daughter who has an autistic son. He’s 23 now last summer was his first summer not in school. I BELIVE they have put him in adult daycare during the day while they work. Give yourself grace Kim, you are only human and we’re not built to take that much stress. I cared for both my parent and my mother in law alone! ( it’s not easy ) don’t ever feel guilty, your blessed and a God send to Levi. 🥰 I enjoyed the long video.
I can totally relate to needing a break. I raised my grandson as my own and there were times I just wanted to breathe……. I love him so much but when he was little it was hard. ❤❤❤ We do what the Lord gives us to do ❤️❤️🙏🏼
Thank you, Kim, for sharing your life, your projects, your joys and your struggles. You are an inspirational and STRONG woman. May you and Levi have a blessed weekend.
Very cute cottage and you have some very unique things in there! You've put so much time and work into this!! You've helped people have a place to stay, that's so wonderful!! Really feel you shouldn't just give it away! You have such a beautiful heart ❤
Oh my Kim. Such a cozy nook to get away in for quiet time. Your so talented. I'd have a very had time letting it go. I understand your reluctance to do so.
Kim I can absolutely relate to needing a break to clear your head !! My husband has dementia and I’m with him 24/7 !! My garden is my sanctuary !! In the winter, I read, crochet or quilt to keep myself busy . I also get the feeling of guilt when I take a minute break for “me” . God bless you and Levi !! I enjoy your videos and watch every single one !! Love you girl !! ❤
The camper cottage is so cute. I so understand having to get a little break, I worked with special needs kids and on rough days I would remind myself that parents have it many more hours than I did. Some days are harder than others and you sometimes you just need to step back for a few minutes
I work with 4 adult ladies with different developmental disabilities 14 hours a day four days a week I've have been for 15 years. MANY TIME I WENT OUTSIDE AND SPOKE THE LORD SAYING: PRAISE THE PARENTS OF ALL SPECIAL NEEDS THAT HAVE RAISED THEM TO ADULT HOOD. the parents raised the through the adolescent years. ❤LOVE YOU KIM! (Mom of an Autistic young man) ❤❤❤
Love the camper! I can understand about you getting a lump in your throat because this was your escape space. Your safe place, calm & quiet & let you re- group your thoughts & feelings! ❤Love & Blessings to you all ❤❤
Hi Kim❤ Hi Levi❤ I remember the camper video. Sounds like the camper and little house was used by a few people so that’s a good thing❤❤ It is an adorable little camper I personally would have a hard time letting it go❤❤
My goodness that camper is a calm, cool and tranquil spot 🥰. When I saw the little steps up to the beautiful bed I immediately thought “What a great place for an afternoon nap!” I completely understand your reluctance to part with it 😢. Having cared for both parents with Dementia I understand the need for a bolt hole, the noise, never ending needs, relentless problems and devastating lows meant time out was the only thing that kept me sane after 7 years without a break! I think you’re right to give it to a good home where it will be cared and make the other rooms into your new bolt hole 😊
So your camper bedroom curved window wall is where Tina got her idea for her camper bedroom curved wall decor= very nice. You did a great job on the camper and addition. It has served, housed & provided shelter for many ppl.
See Kim I think you should fix it up and keep it Caden going to be old enough to wanta be on his own in a few yrs and most likely won't be really able to afford it or even if it's just were he stays when he comes home from college Since you've had it. This long and it's so nice inside
Kim, you worked hard on that camper and it was a haven for many people in your family so no wonder it is hard for you to let it go. It has also been a refuge for you when you have been so stressed out well while caring for Levi. I worked as a therapist. with autistic children for 20 years, and I know how difficult it is for parents to be with autistic children 24 seven year in year out without a break. They need respite and it is really available to them. That camper afforded you small mini breaks of just half an hour to take a moment to gather your thoughts and take a breath. It was your refuge place of peace in in times of turmoil and chaos. So of course it is hard to get rid of it. But times change and things go on and the future looks bright. So it’s time to let go and make room for the new and that is exciting. Take the future with both hands like you do with everything Kim. You are a force to be reckoned with an amazing woman, so strong and resourceful. Nothing can stand in your way when you put your mind to something and you can do anything you want so make plans and go forward and life will be great. I wish you well.❤❤❤🙌🏻
I think you should get the tires fixed and keep it. You need a place for respite. As someone who is totally alone caring for a spouse with mild dementia , i feel your pain of not having that place to go to calm your mind. I think you could fix it up and keep it. Its too cute to get rid of.
What a great she shed that camper would make! The outside could get some love & I see someone enjoying that in their back yard! Amazing! You’re so talented!❣️
Everyone doesn’t know all the things you have walked through. The camper gave you a time out place and others an in between place. So proud of all you’ve done and I believe if you let go of it God will give you peace. It is an old friend. ❤️😋
Hi Kim! Your camper is a great little edition. A nice "She Shed." It looks so sweet & very cozy. You could use it for guests. It's adorable Kim. 👍😊👏 Thank you for sharing this video with us. 👍🇨🇦😊
Kim, the camper is adorable. At my age of 76 I can see myself totally in the camper enjoying me only time. Life gets stressful and I don't know how you accomplish everything you do and raise Levi at the same time. You have so many natural talents. Love and admire you tons. ❤❤
That would be such a blessing to give the camper to Ted. And then you still have the tiny house portion that is totally functional as your guest house.
You did a good job fixing up that camper and cottage. I would not sell the camper. I would just fix up the few little things. For emergency living, it is perfect. I would use it as my she shed as a “my” place for a reprieve.
When you describe your short time away from Levi, the word you're looking for is 'respite.' I was a respite care worker and stayed with elderly people while the family that took care of them went on weekend vacations. Yes, you need that time for you to recharge. A camper attached to a she shed is genius! ❤
I did the same thing. It was actually through Conroe ISD I was put in touch with a couple families for me to do respite care while they went on vacation because their family members were more comfortable at home and with a routine. I enjoyed it. Today I work as an autism coach and I wouldn't mind doing respite care through the summer but I Don't think this school district has that program. I live near Bastrop now.
Morning 🌄 ☕️ kim and Levi... I absolutely love your camper. I have said this many times about you sweetie and no matter what y🫵u put your hands on it always turn out beautiful.... I'm not joking kim you my dear friend by far are such an amazing woman.....Have a wonderful day and God to continue to bless 🙌 each of you sweetheart!! Much ❤❤ always on that hill in Texas!!
Kim, I feel there are no certainties. Don't sell it. Get the tires fixed. It seems God put this in your path. In event of another catastrophe you have something that can be used for you & your son.
thanks for showing us the camper. It is cute and I can understand your attachment and hesitation to part with it. No one knows what your life is like as a single mom to a grown child with autism. Others may be in what appears to be the "same" situation, but in reality, all situations are different, because people differ and their disabilities differ as well. You do an incredible job with Levi and you are a wonderful mom to him. That is an accomplishment in and of itself! May God bless you and Levi!
I love mine too. But Levi refused to let me use it lol...I think I misspoke when I said I had never used it. I used it once lol and he never wanted me to use it again. He said it was too white lol
Aww Kim you’re such a wonderful person. We all need them escape places at times. I know exactly what you’re talking about. And it’s totally fine. I absolutely love the little camper house. It’s looks so nice and cozy and homey. We all know you have put your blood sweat and tears into it. I don’t blame you for not wanting to tear it down. Sell it if you want too, and then put something even better there for yourself cause you deserve it all.
I love all of this !! I’m assuming the building part will stay which will make a nice little getaway or home for someone. This would be nice for when Lyssa’s parents come to visit when the baby comes 😊. Love to you and Levi ❤
Such a cute little camper! Years ago, when my girls were growing up, my Mom had a camper that was parked at a permanent campground. She didn’t live there but, It was only about an hour away, so she would go down on the weekends sometimes, just for a quick get-away. We would spend a lot of time there with her. There were lots of other family members and friends whom also had campers there. I think her camper was made back in the 50’s and aesthetically, it reminds me so much of your camper. She would put a single red brick on one of the burners, turn it on low and it would heat the whole camper. She eventually had a screened in deck built on and I can’t tell you how much fun we had! We would eat out there, watch tv and play endless games into the night! I remember once we were playing games and eating snacks on the deck when it was announced over the radio that Princess Diana was killed😓 It was so sad and the mood became very somber. Anyhow, I digress. My Mom also had a fire pit next to the camper with colorful string lights hung around the area. There was also a nice swimming pool at this campgrounds, which was wonderful in the Summertime! I remember one year at Easter time, we were coloring Easter eggs, had a fire going in the fire pit and had Sam Cooke playing on the cassette player!🥰🥰🥰 Between smell of the wood smoke, the sounds of the wood crackling, the birds singing, the music playing and my girls laughing and having fun, there was such a great vibe happening in those woods!! Memories that will last a lifetime!! Thank you for triggering such a great time in my life!❤
Kim you are such a great person and always have been and you are great for you family and you don't have to explain anything to anyone .and I love your whole family and I am so happy to be part of it.
Good morning Kim ❤and Levi 💙 I absolutely love the camper house...I'd pay you to be able to call that home ❤ The work you are capable of doing is incredible! I hope y'all have a great day
Hi Kim and Levi. Your camper was your sanctuary for you and many more. It’s still adorable and you will decide what’s best for it. We all need time out from things from time to time. Have lovely weekend thanks for sharing. Take care God Bless. 🙏💕🦋
Thanks for the tour of your camper/extension. You did a wonderful job making it livable. Yes, someone can finish it to live in& a place to start out their adult life.
We all need a place to decompress I have a small room I redid as a reading room. When life gets me I take a soda and go read for awhile and all have learned it's my time.
Thank you for the ending! As a parent of a young adult just like Levi, I needed to be reminded of this today, and it is OK to take a break! Your encouraging words always come at the perfect time.
Kim,I applaud you 100%. The camper would be a great idea for someone who might be suffering from thd recent floods or income loss! It has been an awesome purpose in your life! Kim,you know when you have to take the time for yourself! God Bless!❤
Yes, Kim, sometimes you just need a little “me” time to recharge your batteries. There’s nothing wrong with that. You have done a fantastic job raising your kids, taking care of others and being such a versatile person. Letting go of things that have been lifelines in times of struggle is hard but sometimes necessary. ❤️🙏
We live in a 5th wheel for 9 months of the year. We winter in southern Georgia and live in Ohio in a house that we had built 37 yrs ago. We have met so many people that have sold EVERYTHING and live on the road in their rv’s. One of those people said to me you need to sell everything like we did, just get rid of it all. I absolutely would never do that, I love my house and I love my stuff so I understand how you feel. Kim you are so inspiring, I don’t know how you do all you do…I’m 75 and used to have energy to do lots more than I do now. I admire you so much, lots of love to you and please please take time for you, you are immensely appreciated and special ❤️🥰
Hugs Kim... I always told my big sis God picks the special ones that he thinks can handle children with special needs because not everyone can... you along with my sis were both hand picked 💜🤗, God bless you and Levi 🙏🏼💜
Hey Kim...enjoyed the tour of the camper & camper house...I had seen it before but still enjoyed seeing it again & hearing your ideas to add onto it...I think it will be nice & can't wait to see it...I say this respectively as always because I'm not in your shoes.. but im glad you " get away or take a breather" for yourself...its not that you don't love Levi you just need time for you & that's ok...Im gonna keep saying this Kim...I need you to help me redo my house..ha! everytime I look at what needs to be done I think Kim would be able to fix it...glad yall got your power back on.. ya'll have a good day!
Good Sunny Morning from Pennsylvania. The Camper is so cute.I did giggle when I saw the painting.My first thought is that Kim😂❤.God knew what he was doing when he blessed you with Levi.God knew that you have all the love and patience to help Levi to become a Happy and Loved Young Man.Have a Blessed Day❤.
Morning! Everyone needs a break from something or someone! How is your bedroom looking? Have you had any time (haha) to put more wood on your walls? I would love to see an update video 🥰
that camper cottage is so adorable. I could happily live in something like that. You did an awesome job fixing that place up. Personally I don't think you have to get rid of it if you don't want to. Give it a fresh coat of paint. I really loved that upstairs bedroom, it was so cute
I totally get your attachment to that camper. How many people it helped, and stil you can go to it to get away from Levi. I have and autistic nephew who is now 45, so I have a glimpse of what you have to live with. Luckily they were able to get him an apartment in a building with other disabled people. Who knows, that camper could still help future people like grandkids, nieces and nephews. You do what you want in the time you want to do it.
Kim, give yourself some grace. All caregivers need a break sometimes. My daughter is a caregiver for her disabled hubby. There's times she has to get away, or she'll blow sky high . You have to have breaks! No one blames you at all for needing breaks.
You are such a gem to all your family by helping them out with a place to stay when in need. You have such a big, loving heart Kim. Everyone should have sister like you!
Good morning Kim. As you speak, a song is playing in my head. Helen Reddy's "I Am Woman". The lyrics "If I have to, I can do anything. I am strong. I am invincible. I am woman." You are her and so much more. God Bless.❤
You should rent it out or hang on to it for Caden. He is getting to that age now. Love your ability to build and fix things. I always think of you when I think of fixing up something. “I know Kim would know what to do to fix that” 😊❤
Kim, you made that such a cute home for so many people in need plus yourself I can see you having to think about getting rid of it. I love the tiny house idea but I also think with flooding and everything else do you need to or just fix the camper back up? You will make the best decision
Being a caretaker is one of the hardest jobs out there. Doesn't matter if it's your grown son, aging parents, or whomever. I hope you never feel guilty for taking care of yourself. You can't take care of Levi if you aren't taking care of yourself.
The way you've talked about it, I would've thought it to be a cluttered mess. I would let it go though. Before I sold my house I had to put some stuff in storage for showings then after awhile I was like what did I miss, just my Christmas stuff the rest I mostly put in a yard sale. Seems like everyone over there has a spare kitchen and bathroom, but I get it having a room to go to take a breath is nice.
I went back and saw the video from 2 years go about the camper. You did an amazing job on fixing it up, it will be ok to just let it go and keep the little house part for a guest house.

Good morning Kim, the camper is adorable, you certainly have a gift for building and fixing things. ❤️
You did such a good job on that camper. You do amazing work on all your projects Kim. You're very talented.
God bless you Kim!
Hi Kim the camper is adorable. If you love it so much and it’s a place for you to get away than keep it. Everyone needs that time alone.
I have thoroughly enjoyed this video. I had no idea you had this set-up on your property. 👍🤗
Very cute cottage and you have some very unique things in there! You've put so much time and work into this!! You've helped people have a place to stay, that's so wonderful!! Really feel you shouldn't just give it away! You have such a beautiful heart ❤
You are a wonderful artisan with God given talents❤❤❤😊
Oh my Kim. Such a cozy nook to get away in for quiet time. Your so talented. I'd have a very had time letting it go. I understand your reluctance to do so.
The camper is adorable! You make everything so homie. Love to you and Levi!❤❤❤❤🐾🐾🐾. It gave you the recharge you so badly needed.🙏🙏🙏🙏
Kim
I can absolutely relate to needing a break to clear your head !! My husband has dementia and I’m with him 24/7 !! My garden is my sanctuary !! In the winter, I read, crochet or quilt to keep myself busy . I also get the feeling of guilt when I take a minute break for “me” .
God bless you and Levi !! I enjoy your videos and watch every single one !!

Thank you for the camper tour Kim. Sending my love to you and Levi ❤.
The camper is adorable & I would keep it for your get-a-way place! Who knows what the future holds & who would benefit from a place to stay. 💜
Love the camper! I can understand about you getting a lump in your throat because this was your escape space. Your safe place, calm & quiet & let you re- group your thoughts & feelings! ❤Love & Blessings to you all ❤❤
Hello Kim, omgoodness your camper looks so beautiful, you did a fabulous job!😊❤❤❤❤

Definitely.hold.onto the things that sustain and restore you and only you can judge what those things are
Kim, your camper is darling. I love the living room and the bedrooms, especially the one you walk up the stairs! Blessings to you and yours.🎉❤
So your camper bedroom curved window wall is where Tina got her idea for her camper bedroom curved wall decor= very nice. You did a great job on the camper and addition. It has served, housed & provided shelter for many ppl.

This camper is so cute. I love it.❤️❤️
Wow its a beautiful place you made. I love it🤩
Nice little camper👍
That would be such a blessing to give the camper to Ted. And then you still have the tiny house portion that is totally functional as your guest house.
You did a good job fixing up that camper and cottage. I would not sell the camper. I would just fix up the few little things. For emergency living, it is perfect. I would use it as my she shed as a “my” place for a reprieve.
I totally understand what you mean. It is hard, but you do a fantastic job. You can do hard things.
Good set up. I would not get rid of. Lester got tid of his and the little people on the hill may need a place when they grow up.

Good morning Kim. That is such a cute camper house ! I love your antiques!
You are a strong and amazing woman Kim. Not very many people could do what you do. Truly amazing. Love your video's.
The camper is very cute. The camper house is adorable! Never feel guilty for needing time to yourself, we all need it ❤
Kim I have that exact Christmas tree and I love it!
I love mine too. But Levi refused to let me use it lol...I think I misspoke when I said I had never used it. I used it once lol and he never wanted me to use it again. He said it was too white lol
@@catchinupwithkim 🤣🤣 a strand of lights on mine went out but I’m still rocking it. I don’t like stringing lights so it is what it is 🤣

Your an amazing mom. Just make sure you do take time for yourself it's OK. Give your self some grace. Love and prayers to you

You are such a strong woman...and a person of God. I pray for you. Hugs!❤
I love this so much I would definitely live in it. So cute.
Looks very cute

You have done a fantastic job raising your kids, taking care of others and being such a versatile person. Letting go of things that have been lifelines in times of struggle is hard but sometimes necessary. ❤️🙏
We live in a 5th wheel for 9 months of the year. We winter in southern Georgia and live in Ohio in a house that we had built 37 yrs ago. We have met so many people that have sold EVERYTHING and live on the road in their rv’s. One of those people said to me you need to sell everything like we did, just get rid of it all. I absolutely would never do that, I love my house and I love my stuff so I understand how you feel. Kim you are so inspiring, I don’t know how you do all you do…I’m 75 and used to have energy to do lots more than I do now. I admire you so much, lots of love to you and please please take time for you, you are immensely appreciated and special ❤️🥰
Kim everyone needs an escape, God Bless❤😊
Hugs Kim... I always told my big sis God picks the special ones that he thinks can handle children with special needs because not everyone can... you along with my sis were both hand picked 💜🤗, God bless you and Levi 🙏🏼💜
Give yourself grace over alone time. It is okay

Good Sunny Morning from Pennsylvania. The Camper is so cute.I did giggle when I saw the painting.My first thought is that Kim😂❤.God knew what he was doing when he blessed you with Levi.God knew that you have all the love and patience to help Levi to become a Happy and Loved Young Man.Have a Blessed Day❤.
Really cute and very functional Kim!❤
Morning! Everyone needs a break from something or someone! How is your bedroom looking? Have you had any time (haha) to put more wood on your walls? I would love to see an update video 🥰
lol not yet. I need more wood siding. I guess it will be one of those jobs I do in steps lol
God Bless you Kim. LUV YOU TOO❤❤
that camper cottage is so adorable. I could happily live in something like that. You did an awesome job fixing that place up. Personally I don't think you have to get rid of it if you don't want to. Give it a fresh coat of paint. I really loved that upstairs bedroom, it was so cute
God bless you and all you deal with.
I totally get your attachment to that camper. How many people it helped, and stil you can go to it to get away from Levi. I have and autistic nephew who is now 45, so I have a glimpse of what you have to live with. Luckily they were able to get him an apartment in a building with other disabled people. Who knows, that camper could still help future people like grandkids, nieces and nephews. You do what you want in the time you want to do it.
Love your videos and thoughts for the day:))
I love that camper , cottage room , perfect . You got some great ideas .
Kim, give yourself some grace. All caregivers need a break sometimes. My daughter is a caregiver for her disabled hubby. There's times she has to get away, or she'll blow sky high . You have to have breaks! No one blames you at all for needing breaks.
You are such a gem to all your family by helping them out with a place to stay when in need. You have such a big, loving heart Kim. Everyone should have sister like you!
WE LOVE YOU BEAUTIFUL KIM!!

Good morning Kim. As you speak, a song is playing in my head. Helen Reddy's "I Am Woman". The lyrics "If I have to, I can do anything. I am strong.
I am invincible. I am woman." You are her and so much more. God Bless.❤
You should rent it out or hang on to it for Caden. He is getting to that age now. Love your ability to build and fix things. I always think of you when I think of fixing up something. “I know Kim would know what to do to fix that” 😊❤
or Ben
Hugs! God has blessed you
Good video again Kim, you are so talented! Love you, God bless you and have a great weekend! Teresa here in Minnesota 😊
Kim, you made that such a cute home for so many people in need plus yourself I can see you having to think about getting rid of it. I love the tiny house idea but I also think with flooding and everything else do you need to or just fix the camper back up? You will make the best decision
I'm always so AMAZED at your wonderful talent❤God Bless you Always
Being a caretaker is one of the hardest jobs out there. Doesn't matter if it's your grown son, aging parents, or whomever. I hope you never feel guilty for taking care of yourself. You can't take care of Levi if you aren't taking care of yourself.
That is much nicer then I thought. It seems it would have been a nice place for someone to stay in during the flood, or any situation.
Yes, I have to reconnect the water but yes people can still stay there
The way you've talked about it, I would've thought it to be a cluttered mess. I would let it go though. Before I sold my house I had to put some stuff in storage for showings then after awhile I was like what did I miss, just my Christmas stuff the rest I mostly put in a yard sale. Seems like everyone over there has a spare kitchen and bathroom, but I get it having a room to go to take a breath is nice.
That place is cute. You should rent it out for a side income.
