First of all...Wolfgang is adorable! 2nd-I have been married 40 years, raised 6 children, homeschooled them for 26 years-they are all grown....and not ONE DAY have I missed the fingerprints, the toys, the tantrums etc...not one. I loved raising my children so much and was very engaged (we were the party house as well)-but having these years with my precious husband are so wonderful. Enjoy now, but the future is wonderful as well.
Love this!
I so agree! I tend to overthink things but I’m thankful for the now! We never had regular date nights (not really a “thing “ back then!) so we are enjoying time together plus grown kids are fun in their own way!
Omgoodness!! I’m 60 years old and if I had ovaries they would be screaming at me because of Wolfgang! He’s a dream ❤😘😍🥰
I know what you mean. He's so adorable 🥰
Me tooooooo
My baby is 15 months old and seeing Wolfgang wants to have another. Having #5 supposed to be a surprise.
Your hair is SO PRETTY KIM, the color is gorgeous, is it colored or natural?? :)
You will miss it! I blinked and they were grown. Now it's my Grandkids. I had the pleasure of raising my Grandson that came when my daughter was 16 his first 5 years so she could go to college. He just started driving. When he drives to my house I say STOP my brain is not doing this, you will always be my baby boy💝
Listening to little Wolfgang cooing is precious! Make me remember mine when they were little, now all are grown and have kids of their own. Cherish this time, it goes by fast! ❤
Wolfgang is sooooooo cute, happy and precious KIM, omg gives me baby fever lol :)
This is the most powerful thing you could say to a new mom or even an "old mom" (me). We have to remember that a lot of the big change trends and new habit routines are NOT meant for people in transition. And moms of little kids are in transition for YEARS in my opinion! You're so good at helping me feel normal and good enough!
Kim, i know you wont see this probably but I am a momma of 5 as well (plus an angel baby), my kiddos are growing up (16,18,20,22,23) and oh boy that quote is SO TRUE! I miss my kiddos NEEDING me like they used to, I miss the chaos and toys everywhere, the quote is so true. As hard as it is in the moment, try to treasure these years, before you know it they are grown :(
My husband and I raised 6 kids, took care of parents for years. Pete used to say," how did we do that?" I told him, I did all the work! When our youngest son moved out while we were on vacation he was so upset! I jumped for joy! I went from 11 or 12 loads of laundry a day to 4 or 5 a week!!!!
I legit cannot express how thankful I am for this video today. This mama is in the hospital. Some scary stuff. I miss my babies, dogs and I guess my hubby. Lol. But you’re helping me smile despite feeling awful! Thanks!
Yes! Kim got me thru 12 surgeries in two years (major stuff.). She truly does put some happy in my days. 🙏 for you.
Feel better!!! Praying for you!!
Feel better soon!
Feel better xx
Take care ….. you’ll be home soon
Happy Tuesday, sweet Kim and party people. Keep your head up, your chin high, and smile because life is beautiful, and there are so many things to be happy about.
Thanks, Alma! I hope you have a wonderful day, my friend!🥰
@Aimee you're welcome, friend. Thank you. You too. We're under a Tornado Watch till 11AM.
@@MrsAlmaTrumble Be safe!
@@aimee2234 we are, friend.
Good to see you here Alma!! Sending you & yours lots of hugs, love & prayers for a healthy, happy & blessed year precious friend 🤗💜🙏🏻!!
If no one has told you lately, you totally rock. Doing all the things you do and showing the challenge of managing your home with 5 kids is refreshing. I love your authenticity and want to give you all the kudos you deserve. Please continue giving yourself grace and as much as you can, whenever you can, if you can, try to take a few minutes for yourself by yourself. Being a good, present, decent and loving mom is one of the hardest things to navigate.
Did you know that to prevent a pot from boiling over, you're supposed to put a wodden spoon across the top of the pot, and when the water, or liquid you're boiling, touches the wood, it goes down? I saw it on a cooking hacks video. I tried it with rice, AND IT WORKED!
Welcome to Atomic time... Making ourselves better one day at a time. Thanks for the happy Kim. We're starting 2023 right. If you're new, welcome. You're a friend already! Have a glorious day, Wads fam and friends. YOU are loved! xoxo
I got sick again with pneumonia after Christmas ... Went to my doctor the 29th ... Got shots and meds and fell asleep when I got home that afternoon and didn't wake up till yesterday morning ... So I missed new Year's ... My husband said he kept having to check on me to make sure I was still alive ... I don't remember a thing ...
Thank you for being a friend ! I love that I can put on your channel and try being productive alongside you, you are so relatable and comforting! My kids call your videos “ auntie Kim’s videos” they love watching your playlist when they want to just relax after school :)
Auntie Kim 🥲 that's so sweet
I absolutely love that rendition of Auld Lang Syne, it makes me both happy for a brand new start to the year and a little sad remembering loved ones lost. Wishing you and all the Wads a very Happy and healthy New Year, I hope all that you wish for yourself will come true. Thank you for always putting a little happy in our days xxx
Absolutely loved that rendition, it reminded me of my dad and gave me all the feels.
Do we know who sang it?
Mine are all grown now, but when they were little I had a picture of a quote that said, "Cleaning and scrubbing can wait til tomorrow for babies grow up, we've learned to our sorrow. So quiet down cobwebs, dust - go to sleep. I'm rocking my baby and babies don't keep."
Man, you’re speaking truth about time passing & kids growing up. My oldest is 19. She’s in a serious relationship, going to college, & contemplating moving across the state. It’s a wild mix of sadness & pride. ❤️🩹
Holy Moly mine is 46. Time flies. I need a serious vacation. 🎉
And my youngest is turning 50 next month!!
@@slapstickdome9797 Sounds like you've done very well. Mine will be 47 in two and a half months. Time flies way to fast. If we only had a time machine and go backwards. Hold them in our arms again. 🌹
I want to say thank you! I’ve been watching for years and always hear your voice of encouragement. If I feel overwhelmed with chores I tell myself just do your best for 15 mins. I got upset after having to clean up after the kids for the billionth time and told myself it just needs a mothers touch and it helped changed my attitude toward the task. “What am I going to do with the rest of it” is a common phrase I say to myself when cooking! Thank you for pushing out the content even in your busiest seasons of life. It really means a lot to me and I’m thankful for you ❤
I’ve been in the hospital/NICU for almost two weeks now. Your positivity and humor has really helped through this difficult time!! ❤️❤️
Momma...give yourself grace.. In 30 years your not going to look back and say "I wish I had made my bed everyday"... All things change especially in life.... You are an amazing momma and wife and I am positive they all only care that you love them and work so hard for them... Big hugs..much love and many blessings to you❤❤
For some reason this always happens: I buy chocolate. I don't eat it immediately. I will find it hours or days later... I'm always taken completely by surprise. Works. Every. Time.
I love Thomas S Monson and I love that quote. I have several of his quotes saved just for "those days". His talks and quotes have gotten me through some tough times. Watching your videos does make me feel like having a friend around chatting while I was dishes! Thank you for all you do, you are amazing.
Hi Kim!!!
I’m 27 and a long time fan of yours. I just found out I am expecting my first. I’m only 4 weeks today.
Thank you for all your mothering advice. Love the quote you shared.
I just realized what was missing from your bedroom: bedside lamps/lights. I think it would frame the bed area nicely and light up/fill up those corners.
❤ Kim, You're a firecracker in our hearts, and we thank you for keeping us all happy together. Happy New Year! ❤
Atomic Habits?! You should write your own book on how to do the most with 5 kids, a husband and at least one party every week! ❤️😘
Happy new year to all stay safe in 2023 🥳😊😜
How I wish I had done so many things differently.
I was not as wise as you and Alex when I was raising my only child...
But, I was blessed to have my baby boy for 37 years;
Not nearly long enough...BUT, BLESSED JUST THE SAME❤
He's been gone 9 years on January 9, 2023.
He had type 1 diabetes for 20 years, was on dialysis.
His fistula had a blood clot in it so he couldn't get his dialysis. The hospital made him wait to get the clot removed, meanwhile he's swelling up with too much fluid, and gets pneumonia.
On January 6, 2014 they removed the clot from his fistula and it went straight to his brain causing a major stroke.
I never heard my sweet son's voice again.💔
Please,
Take the time to record loved ones' voices, save something they drew, save something with their handwriting and or printing on it.
THANK GOODNESS I HAVE.💝💝💝💝
I don't miss those times, we just have our grandkids over, and it's even better!
The thing I love, is when our 4 adult "kids" get together, they talk about things we did when they were little! My husband and I just look at one another and say, They remember!
When I had my baby girl almost 18 yrs ago in March I thought I wouldn't be able to get through it bc she was born wt DS... but the love and support of my family was wonderful 💕 I can believe she's going to be 18!!!! Where did the time go??? She is a happy and healthy young woman ❤️
You don’t have to apologize when things are topsy turvy. We’ve all been there. We are here because we love you. We are not being judgmental. ❤❤❤
Thank you for all you do for us here on your channel! I found you about a month ago and it been refreshing to find a TH-camr who seems to be living in the real world. With 4 boys ages 16 to 8 who I homeschool I’m just surviving and it truly makes my day to watch your videos!!! I wish your family a very happy new year!!
I don't think you realize how much you said in this video touched so many hearts. Trying to figure out who I am now. I'm not me and haven't been for awhile and struggle trying to find me. Thank you Kim. 💕
Yes you will miss them being little. Mine is 30 and I can't believe it. I am lucky though because he still spends time with us playing games, cooking together, dancing to favorite songs, visiting favorite places. Even his closest friends still come to visit and tell me how much they enjoyed all the sleep overs and days of fun at our house. Tell stories about me driving all of them to teenage events. It's the best when they are adults and still come see you and ask to do things with you that you did when they were young. It's going to happen to you too and it will bring you so much happiness.
Being better doesn’t have to be about task and really none of those matter for a better world. You do this automatically with your videos. Sending humor, authenticity and motivation to so many. Spreading the love and joy is all that matters really and we can all do that 1% more each day. 😊
The quote I have in my office/ crafty spot/ whatnot room is “Procrastination is a good thing. You always have something to do tomorrow, plus you have nothing to do today”. I figure, some things tend to take priority over others (a lot in my case). 😂
Everytime I watch a video of you it makes me laugh and smile. I am 76 yrs. old and when I see you it makes me have memories of when I was young!
Unfortunately my new Year was pretty sad. I went to the Emergency Vet with my cat. We needed to let her go yesterday on the second. She was not even two years old. Seeing her passing away was pretty devastating to me. It is so hard to cope and my heart just hurts so much. I miss her so much 💔
Happy New Year To all the Wads and the party people!
I always giggle when you say "I'm trying to get my life together" because I say that EVERY SINGLE WEEKEND. And every holiday break. And every New Year. Pretty much every day, if I'm being honest. Forty-three years old and still trying to figure out my life 🤣
Omg im that person who waits for commercials still and thr truly needed in my life that's when I put a load go get dried clothes give kids food or snacks 🙃. It's funny cuz my boys say "mom in a commercial can u ....." 😂
I just found out I have adhd, which helps me understand why I procrastinate and other goofy things I do . So I'm in the process of finding systems that work better for me in my brain instead of trying many traditional things and failing and beating up myself. I just thought procrastination was a character flaw of mine, but understanding where it comes from and reframing is very helpful and brings so much peace of mind.
Yes…. Same!! Goodbye shame!
Oh my goodness! Love you so much Kim thanks for hanging out with me. Loved the pep talks today❤
My twins are 21. I watch you because I long for those days when they were young and working full time, and felt overwhelmed. I would do it so differently now that I'm on the other end! You are raw and honest and perfect. Thanks Kim
I love so many quotes by Thomas S Monson. I saw him give talks in person on more than one occasion and much of my teenage life relived around his wisdom before he died. He throughly enjoyed and loved his eternal family and all the people of the world.
Fun to see fellow members of the church here ❤. Pres monson was one of a kind- I even named my son after him lol
I looked up the talk it is in and it’s “Finding Joy in the Journey” he gave it in a worldwide address in October 2008. You can find it by googling the title and date. It’s a wonderful read and even better to hear his own voice give it.
@@justinmelissaw8 awesome thanks I’ll have to listen to it again!
Recently heard someone say how fast time goes. You only have 18 summers with each child when you think about it. My children are all grown up and many of my grandchildren. We are expecting our first two great grandchildren in 2023. You do miss them, but each season has its own highlights. Just adjust and enjoy each one for what it is! Happy New Year to you and yours!!!
Oh Kim, why do you think you need to be better? You do more than most and most importantly you are there for your family. Most of your followers are amazed by all you accomplish. You made me laugh out loud today, that was on my list of goals. Please enjoy being you. 💕
Can I just say as a grandmother… I am heavily involved with my grand babies and it does “take a village”. I had babies young and had grand babies young (9) 4 of which live next door to me. I still feel like I’m in that “season”, I keep them while parents work and have since they were born and I am blessed to be a part of each milestone of their lives. So, long story short… as long as you are involved in their lives they will ALWAYS need you ☺️ nice part is when you need a break you send them home and when you’re ready again you call them back!
I had to stop this at the loading the dishwasher part because I couldn't breathe. 🤣 My family generally thinks I'm a crazy person all of the time, so I had to show my mom this video to prove that other people act like this around the house. 😅 watching your videos is so much better than watching stand up comedian bits because your comedy is all real life and shows us we are all in the same boat out here 😀
You had me laughing so hard when you thought your new Kitchen Aid looked smaller! I think it's the beautiful finish you chose! I have my grandma's Kitchen Aid that she purchased in the 1970's and it continues to work like a charm! All the attachments fit! It would be fun to have one of the lovely colors they've come out with.....but this one has so many memories! I look forward to every video you put out--you bring so much joy!
Kim,,, you made me feel like a normal adult when I watched you loading that dishwasher.
I was rolling from laughing!!!! I’m 61 years old and kinda worry someone would like to commit me if they saw me on certain days.
You, my friend, gave me the ok to just dance it proud. 😂🤣😂🤣
People who constantly have chapped lips:
Sometimes it is a severe anxiety symptom. And when that is the case, no type or amount of chapstick will help.
I drink like a gallon of water every day. And eat as well as I can as a mom with small children 😅 Tried SO MANY chapsticks and lotions.
Finally I found that a night-time eye cream helps a bit. I do it in the morning and at night. It does help 😂
kim in the kitchen should be a new segment!!! i laughed out loud at the whole thing… and her taking the kitchen aid out 😂… the funniest!!!
Hey Kim, the reason the cabinet under the stove is not working is because it needs a shelf so that you can stack things on the upper shelf. Your new Kitchen Aid will still fit there.
You should see if Alex can build you a half shelf in that pantry where you put your KitchenAid or cabinet it will double your storage space just a half shelf in the back of the cabinet
I have my 5 week old grandson staying overnight, he’s been glued to the tv since I started it. Thanks for sharing Kim you are an inspiration to get me going xx
Kim, I know you were joking around about time scurrying by and you turn 80... but all goes so fast. Your life is exciting at home, raising children is hard work. Remember to rest properly. I know it's hard with a baby but the body keeps score. Take care. I love your channel. It brings back great memories for my family. Raising children is important work. You are making life fun and many memories for them and for yourself...and giving me many chuckles. Thank you so much...
Your other kitchen aid isn't broken. It just needs a bolt tightend down!
How cute and adorable is Wolfgang ! :-)) A baby of dreams with his wonderful smile.
One of my favs!
Cooking and cleaning can wait 'till tomorrow, For babies grow up, I've learned to my sorrow. So settle down, cobwebs, and, dust, go to sleep. I'm rocking my baby 'cause babies don't keep
Love the KitchenAid color! You could build a shelf into the cabinet where it lives with the Instant Pot so the griddle can go up on the shelf! I did that in a huge cupboard I had and it made it SO much more usable. I just got those white wire shelves from Home Depot and the matching white triangle arms that mount on the back wall (into studs!) and it's great. If you don't have studs in good places like me, cut a 1x3 board to the length of the cabinet and screw that to the studs, then screw the shelf mounting arms to the board.
Kin I'm 71 year old grandma raised 3 girls took care of 2 of my grandkids for 5 years, so I know a lot about laundry. LOL I feel your pain every time you go to your laundry room, but just want to say you are lucky. My laundry room is in my garage which is not attached to my house. So many times I've washed during the rain and cold. I've aged and gotten sick so my love hubby does help a lot with washing blankets and things. I wrote all that LOL just to say if I lived next door I'd be happy to come over every day and do your laundry. May your 2023 bring Joy, Happiness, Love and many more |Blessings. I just love you , if I'd met you in my younger days we would of been best of friends. |God Bless. Wolfgang is growing like a weed. Time flies and they grow so fast. my oldest grandson is 26.
Wanted to say I forgot to log in to my account this is my friends. My name is |Wanda
Blessings to you and yours for 2023, love to hang out with you.
