Martina McBride, girl! Luh-hove that song. And the video.... She's great in concert, too. Thank you, Miss Lady ATR (across the room), for your hard work getting us these vids 3x/week; You are literally the best motivator! I like to binge your vids most of the time, so when my house gets 'rough', I know it's time to check in with Kim's Cleaning Service "at your service" and get my clean on. 'Bout to head out to the Fill-a-bag thrift sale while the fam sleeps in. Anyway, I don't know how you do it all, but wanted to say Thanks! for all you do. We, the Party People, really do appreciate you. May God bless you, Alex, and the kids abundantly!!! Keep on Kimming on! Much love and peace. :) --Jessica

Saw her at a drag race several years ago. She did a small concert there. My husband and I and our three children had passes to meet her in her trailer. She was very unfriendly and I haven't thought much of her since.

Hey Kim. I keep meaning to mention this tip. When you're cooking corn on the cob, you don't need to cook it for as long as you may think. If you put your corn in when the water is cold: bring it to a boil and boil for 3 minutes. No, really, just 3 minutes. If you toss the corn in the boiling water: bring the water back to a boil and boil for 5 minutes. That's it, crisp, tender corn that needs nothing on it. It's much healthier than boiling all the goodness out. Love your posts!

I'm right there with ya! I've only had 5 years compared to your 13. My youngest is 18 months and my oldest is 5 1/2 and I'm getting hints of what it will be like not having a little need me so much. It's so nice but so bittersweet. Anytime I think I can't do something or I get stressed I think WWKD. What would Kim do, haha. You've got 5 kids, a large house, your a party hoster, and so much more! Your an inspiration to keep going and power through it. I've learned so much from your videos and grown so much in the past 5 years watching you, thank you. It has seriously made me a better mama.

Yes the choas is quite hard & you work at it, & it is nice when it's not there no more ,but you miss it too!. But you get use to it by the time your older 60's, 70's. I do remember that I didn't know what to do! I remember when we weren't watching Sesame Street. It just kind of all of sudden I realized it! It had been going on for a while, but they were old enough to go play with friends or some sports! They did their own thing! It was one of those things that happened that you don't realize at first! So I totally understand! That's why I do my crafting, scrapbooking, sewing, knitting & crochet! By the time Wolfgang is 18yrs you might be a grandma & You'll just do the same things to help with your grandchildren! You'll be an awesome grandma & busy! Love your videos. Thanks for sharing! Have a great weekend! ♥️😉🫂🐾🐾🍄‍🟫🦉🧶🧵🪡🖌🖼🌹🌺✨️

As a stay at home mom, I prep for the weekend. I want my home to be as clean and calm as possible for our family time together. It is so calming to not be doing house work (other then the daily stuff lol) when we are trying to spend with with husband/dad. So I started getting all our cleaning done on Thursday and then prepping for the weekend on Friday.

Hi Kim, mom of 5 here also, and our kids are all around the same age. I just love how you keep it so real! Love your positive attitude to mom-life. FYI I also remember the shift when I started leaving dirty dishes in the sink:) Also love the 90s kids references (Full House anyone?) Love watching you when I'm folding the bottomless pit that is my laundry.

If you see your chickens in the sand digging a little nest in the sandy dirt, they are not for nesting,this is how the chicken bathes. It keeps the bugs off of them. Just a little FYI.😊 Love your show... especially when you go thrifting. I see soo much stuff I feel that I need...not really, just want because its such a good deal. Lol

I make a banana pudding similar to the Joanna Gaines recipe. I've been making it for years. I perfectly layer my bananas and cookies on top of each other and never overcrowd for a more even bite. I tried with the Chessman cookies and they get too soggy for us. I've also made this recipe with 1/4 of the dish banana free for those who don't enjoy bananas 😅

Call me crazy, but i can't sleep with a flat sheet over me, and i can't have my blanket tucked in, i get claustrophobic lol. I have the multiplying progressive MS, and if my temperature changes by one degree, i either am freezing, or burning up, so i hate my feet to be covered. I guess it's a good thing I'm single, or I'd probably drive him crazy. I don't wash my sheet once a week either, but that's all good, and i know you don't care, like i don't care.

My son-in-law calls banana pudding his kryptonite. I use banana flavored pudding. I do not mix it with the whipped topping, yeah, cool whip. It adds another layer of color to the bowl. My children are all married, but one calls and asked what I’m doing and where I am, so I know she needs me to do something for her. It could be that she only calls if she needs me to do something, but I am fine with that.

Chickens love pumpkin. Just break it open, and they will eat it all but the skin. Also, when you're fixing your melons, give the skins to the chickens. I'm in South Carolina, so when it's hot, I freeze them and give it to them. They love it. Also, the pumpkin is a natural deformer, so great for the girls.
