    The fact that you were like "hey, no pressure, I'm not asking you to host or to even let us in the door. I'm not even the one delivering it, so we'll leave it at your doorstep. I just want you to be fed and have ONE evening where you don't have to think about dinner." I LOVE this. As someone who gets extreme anxiety with hosting, especially post partum (I can't imagine having twins), I would be so incredibly thankful for the gesture.

    Kim, I need you to know something. I'm from the UK and over here, only the mega, mega rich can afford big houses so I have quite a small house with NO storage which makes it so hard to keep things today. Anyway, shut up Colin... Get to the point!!
    OK, so I've been struggling for about 5 years with my mental health and a big part of that is that I can't stand mess and chaos and my house is so untidy. I've cried at night because I don't know where to start. I can't take that first step and I certainly can't be cheerful when I do it. I wanted to reach out and tell you that since I found your channel, I've started to tidy. Today I did my kitchen and bedroom and I'm so proud but it's because of you. I'm so grateful to you and you're my hero, my inspiration and my motivation. Thank you so much for what you have done for me. I'm here for every single video and I hope I can become just 10% of the person you are! Loads and loads of love from the UK xxx

    I had to pause you and go down and get my coffee. This is how I start my Saturday by putting some happy in my day. My daughter is expecting number 7. Her oldest was here yesterday watching your video with me bc she thinks you’re hilarious. She’s so excited you are having another baby. She told me that she’s not getting married and having babies. She said she’s going to have a bunny farm and raise bunnies. It cracked me up bc she still seems to be following mommy’s footsteps bc we all know how those bunnies reproduce.

      @@aimeelangan1625 Honestly in this economy, that might be a wise choice 😂 your kids sound adorable, definitely planning a fun future lol. My husband and I aren’t sure how many kids we want yet (we have a 15 month old, and I just found out I’m pregnant with another). But we’re planning to build several tiny homes instead of one larger home, that way our kids can live on our property and have housing stability. I feel a lot of instability coming up in the next 50 years or so, gotta keep my babies near. Generational living is the way of the past and the future 👍 more balanced workloads and more hands to help with kids/elderly people/pets/chores. I’m also planning to split the land with my mom, so she can have her house-bus or a tiny home near her grandkids ☺️. Would also make me feel much better as she gets older. She has a lot of weird allergies and is small, so I worry about her getting sick or something and not being checked on.

    Kim here is the best (legit Mexican) beans recipe you'll ever find. Take your bag of dry pinto or black beans, check them for little rocks, rinse them, then out them in a crockpot with a bunch of water, at least half an onion, garlic (not powder), salon goya (flavor packet in Mexican food section), and the secret ingredient: at least a tbsp of bacon grease or more for 2+lbs of beans. When you cook bacon just save the grease in a container in the fridge. You won't ever have beans any other way. Another way I've seen it made is with the onion and garlic and cutting actual raw bacon into the crockpot, at least half a pack of bacon up to a full pack of bacon if you're making a lot of beans. Beans freeze great so you can portion out a family size side portion and not have to worry about cooking it for your next meal. Keep in the crockpot at least 6 hours or until soft. My crockpot is old so I keep it there all day, 10+ hours :)

      OMG I did that years ago. I came up with the brilliant idea of having not 1..oh no...but 2 days of "special weekend breakfasts" Each child gets their special breakfast for Saturday and Sunday. Oh no...like 1 day a week isn't enough. So now ... YEARS LATER ... I'm making 3 DIFFERENT BREAKFASTS 2 TIMES A WEEK. But...sometimes, now that they're older, they make breakfast for me. And when they have their own families and are gone from my home, I will miss the chaos!!! LOL Melissa, take short cuts if you have a crazy week, Costco has great baked good...just stick them into a baking pan and say you worked hard making it from scratch :D

      My mother would line dry a few times a week. Being the older daughter...wait...being the ONLY daughter...I learned early. She would put the heavy things on the ends, this way if the line goes low, the clothing won't touch the ground too much but if the heavy things are on the ends, it won't be too much weight in the middle to pull everything too low.

    Favorite Easter Traditon is going through the 12 Resurrection Easter eggs at church on Palm Sunday with the kids!!! Opening each egg that has a small figurine to show them the important parts of the story is so fun! Their minds are always so blown when we get to the last egg and it's always empty to represent Jesus no longer being in the tomb.

Our back door leads right into our dining room - the mess is real! I couldn’t manage without my crosswave. I’d go crazy with the amount of time I would spend cleaning the floors otherwise.

    Always enjoy watching your videos!
    For the beans,
    Cook black beans with a some cilantro, some onion and a jalapeño, you don’t have to chopped them just toss it in there.
    Basically you just want the the flavors to blend while it’s cooking. The amount of onion depends on what low much your making I say add about a 1/4 of it if you want to sauté the onion in about 1/2-1 cup of oil and add that to your beans it just adds so much more flavor!
    add cumin, salt and pepper a bit of chili powder.
    Note: you can take off the seeds of the jalapeño but if keep them it will add that small hint of spice.
    For refried beans just blend/ mash together once it’s done cooking.
    Anyways I hope you give them a try and that you enjoy ! My brother doesn’t like beans but when I make them like this he will eat them.

    Tip I learned from my grandmother with her orchids, 2 ice cubes once a week. They slowly melt and provide the right amount of water 😜. Or if your like me occasionally water if/when you rememeber. Figured the cubes may be easier to rememeber? Though your getting bloom-age so must be doing something right! 👍

    Hi Kim! Not sure if you will see this comment but Golden Brown sugar is referring to the lighter one instead of the Dark One which has more molasses in it. My Church has a food sign up for whenever someone has a situation in their life that could use some extra TLC. Births, deaths, accidents and sickness to name a few. It’s semi coordinated so the receiver isn’t overwhelmed all at once. So sweet of you to think about your old neighbor. Hope you are feeling better yourself.

    When I make black beans I add minced garlic, onion powder, cumin, salt, pepper, and a can of green mild chilies but the secret ingredient is a dab of bacon grease! As you always say, fat is flavor! A little bit will go a long way, I just use maybe half a tablespoon per can of beans.

    I know it’s a different type of rice, but my favorite way to freeze rice is to make rice balls. When you want to eat them, pan fry in a non stick pan without oil, brushing them with soy sauce on both sides.
    The name of it is yaki onigiri. I bet there is a video version of the recipe.
