Prepare, Organize, Shop, Clean, Bake; All The Things With Me! Hurricane Anticipation + More!
Hey party people! Thanks so much for hanging out with me while I bring you along my day! We do a variety of things; which is typical. I stopped at Ikea on my way home from my prenatal apt, got home did some laundry, opened some packages, organized some things, baked some stuff, and then the next day I got attacked by a bug, went through some baby clothes, all the while 'preparing for hurricane dorian' when really we are going to be in the best case for our location. The Bahamas got the brunt of the storm and goodness I'll be praying for everyone down there.
Best,
Kim!

It's 2022 and you had a baby boy named Wolfgang. So amazing and synchronistic :) My ancestors would say that this is your spirit baby speaking to you. Love your videos, Kim :)
Kim! I’m about to change your egg boilin life, boil water, add a tablespoon of white vinegar then add eggs, the vinegar softens the shell and they come right off
I have 4 kids...7,5,2 and 1 and I need to clean before they wake up but here I am with my coffee watching your videos 😂 this is me time lol

I work for target & the reason they come in different boxes is because they’re coming from different stores that actually have the product. Sfs (shipped from store) people pull the products and package them in the back of the store! Its pretty cool.

I assume it comes from a warehouse- interesting.
When eggs are done, crack them all before you submerge them in water to cool, this will make the shell almost fall off 👍🏻
Your positive spirit cheers me up every time I get to watch you!!! Thank you so much for sharing your life with us!! ❤🙏🙋♀️
Growing up we mostly cleaned on Saturdays, since my mom didn't always work. I'm 55. As I got to be late elementary school age I didn't want to spend all day Saturday cleaning. It didn't make sense to wait to do everything in 1 day. In junior high & high school I cleaned something everyday. Some stuff I did everyday. If there was enough to do a load of laundry I did it. I cleaned the bathroom everyday. I cleaned the kitchen sink everyday. I swept everyday & mopped 1 to 3 times a week & the same with vacuuming & dusting. I washed bed linens usually 1 or 2 times a month (a pain in our house to do) more if they really needed it. I'd wash the throw rugs usually 1 time a month. Deep cleaning the cabinets & closets I usually did every 2 or 3 months. Curtains usually 2 to 4 times a year. It depended on how dusty they were.There's more. As an adult I still mostly follow all that. We've learned through the years & having illnesses, job loss, planned & unplanned surgeries that you must keep up on stuff. I kind of laughed at your hurricane stockpile. Mine's bigger except for bottle water which I don't buy, because we wouldn't use it. I live in Wisconsin. Being prepared anywhere you live is a must. Power can go out for days, weeks, or even months. Along, with the reasons I mentioned before natural disasters & human caused problems prove you must be prepared. Hopefully Dorian turns out like they say it will, but don't make light of a hurricane cat 1. They're deadly, too.
I just finished watching the video and the easiest way to peel hard boiled eggs is to use a bottle with a tight fitting lid. You take a shaker bottle fill about half way with water, add cooked egg and put the lid of the shaker on. You shake it back and forth about 3 times and the motion knocks off the egg shell super easy.
Oh my lanta this is so great how you shot this! And I love what you’re saying about the cleaning. I like to do everything in one day and while I don’t have kids I can see this being a great way for them to see that clean houses don’t magically happen, they can learn to clean, earn allowance - so many things!
Please stay safe over these next few days. We will keep you and your family in our thoughts and prayers.
Praying for Bahamas 😭😢. Glad you guys are ok

I’m a 27 year old child-less single girl watching your videos because…I have no idea. But I was really depressed for most of my 20s, it’s finally getting better, so I literally didn’t have a cleaning schedule. I’d go months without cleaning. Now I clean every 2 weeks, but I break it up and do the easier stuff on my work weekend and the harder, more time consuming stuff on my off weekend. Sidenote: I DO have molasses. Only because I bought it for a recipe once.
Wentworth ist such a good helper! Love this little man! ❤️️😘

I have that rust color blanket and the wolf! We went with a woodland critter theme in our baby room. Due November 30th, Jaxson Ryan. 😊
That’s how I do it. I work full time and Saturday is my deep cleaning day. I spend that day cleaning and then Sunday I grocery shop and do laundry. We are only a family of 4 so we don’t have a ton of laundry. I do mine and my 3 year old daughters and my son does his own...he’s a teen so I make him his own 😂 but he’s been doing his own laundry for years. I think since he was maybe 10 or so and the hubs does his own too. I do have a robot vac that goes around the house every other day when I’m at work and that makes such a hustle difference in how clean my house stays through the week.
I got stuck on a cruise ship thanks to Dorian.....and wasted 4000.00 and didn’t even get to Cocoa Cay......which was whole reason for going......thanks Dorian! I lived in Florida for 10 years as a kid.......couldn’t pay me trillions of dollars to live there with the humidity and size of bugs.....I now live on Washington state coast and love 65’ days and co,d and rain and clouds.....you can keep your massive bugs and humidity lol
We clean little things throughout the week like laundry, dishes, wiping off the counters, and occasionally sweeping. On Saturday or Sunday we do the bathroom and the floors and anything else that needs to be done. It works well for us!

That pillow is hysterical!
A restaurant worker showed me this...after boiling the eggs, drain off the hot water but leave the eggs in the pot (or put them back in after draining) bounce the pot up and down, and shake to break the shells. Pour very cold water over the top and peel while the egg is submerged. They fall off.
Now I know why Kim shop so much she just making sure she has everything for the hurricane and Kim has awesome smile 😊
Have been thinking about you guys since I heard about the hurricane. Kim those cookies looked delish! Also, you should do a hair tutorial on the hairstyle you are wearing at the very end of the video, the braid always looks so pretty!

i like to deep clean one room day everyday of the week and then do just general tidying up the rest of the spaces
I've lived in orlando basically my entire life. & i remember how fun hurricanes were as a kid. But now as an adult it hasnt been fun in years. Only thing fun about it is no work. We don't have any kids yet. Just one furrChild. So i could only imagine the amount of extra stress. Irma put us out of power for 2 weeks. & hopen for the power to stay on for the sake of your pregnancy! Stay safe kim & family. Love all your videos.
I’ve been thinking about that too, that hurricanes were so much fun as a kid. No school, hurricane parties, playing in the wind and floodwater 😬 now as a parent, it’s just scary lol maybe we just didn’t get too many big ones? Idk but I also would not let my children do the things we were allowed to do in the eye of a hurricane! 😂
Yes, get it now
I boil my water, gentle put my eggs in, boil for 7 mins, remove from heat, cover for 20 mins. Run cold water over them until cool. I then hit the flat part of the egg, then roll it - shells come off either whole or close to it 😁 works EVERY time. I love your videos Kim!
I LOOOOOOVE how you display your photo books! Never would’ve thought of that!!

I also was gonna decorate for Fall but I was like I'll wait since I'm in Florida too and I'll wait till the hurricane passes by.
Awww , Wentworth picking up all the shoes! 😍
Good morning At least it’s morning right now. I got a tad bit behind on your videos and having been doing catch up. You look like you are doing well. I hope so. Those cookies looked delish! Also the morning when you and Wentworth were out back with the “bugs” glasses on and no makeup you looked beautiful. You always do. Have a Blessed day! 💕
The reason the eggs peel better after cooking in the instapot is because they are steamed and not in a hot water bath. You can steam your eggs on the stove or get an egg cooker. I love my little $10 Dash 6 egg cooker. They have bigger ones that hold a dozen. I do have an instapot but I only drag it out when I’m cooking beans and I can’t soak them over night.
Family of 6... laundry is NEVER ending!! I have to do few loads a day. Especially to keep up with the towels. But i gave each child their own basket. It's their responsibility to bring it to the laundry room when it's filled. I do it and i have the older ones put theirs away.
The rollerblading in the wind thing made me laugh. Where we live in Wyoming, 70mph winds are about a weekly occurrence and our kids still go out to recess in them. Granted, that’s a very different story with wind and surge 😂... but I’d be letting them out for that early phase to play too. That’s a Thursday here 😜

I live in the hurricane hard hit area of Texas. Yep Rita, Ike, and Harvey each took a swipe at my hometown and each time we come back better, stronger and smarter. Lessons learned; stock up on solar lights, those will help your little ones find their way around the house after the sun goes down. Just recharge during the day and put them down the hallways and in the rooms you use during the night. no need to use up batteries. store them in the garage when you want to sleep. Also fill up juice and milk jugs with water and put in freezer to keep things cold in case of electricity loss. You can freeze some water bottles too for chilling cold water in ice chests. Ok that's all I will suggest. you got this!
I do general cleaning due week and big clean on Saturday
You always make me smile you are a delightful soul!!!Prayers that this hurricane stays out to sea!!I have family in Tampa St.Petes who have decided to stay....

Have you tried breaking the shell around the centre of the egg, then gently push a Teaspoon under the shell, and you can easily get it the shell away in two halves.

He was a great little helper!
I clean on Friday mornings and I do 2 loads of laundry 🧺 on Wednesday’s and I change my bedding on Tuesday morning. I do it this way so I don’t get overwhelmed by everything.
You never fail to make me laugh Kim 😂 Brilliant vlog 🤣
I’m here on the west coast of Florida and totally got prepared when we first heard about Dorian, but I’m so glad we don’t have to worry as much praying for everyone in its path. And it’s so true, if you don’t live in Florida you may think that that even a category 1 is terrible. I have a ton of family out of state that has been so worried for us, they just hear tropical storm or hurricane and think the worst 🤷♀️

I’m from Jacksonville. Was in fort myers for school but now I’m in Clearwater for my first rotation. I’m just praying for my grandparents in st. Augustine. It’s also interesting you say that about eggs because I make the best hard boiled eggs and no ring. I boil water first, put eggs in for 1 minute covered. Turn off heat and keep covered but on thing for 15 minutes. Peel amazing and are perfect
Hurricanes in highschool were the BEST!!!! As an adult with children they suck now, it's so hot!!!! I swear its hotter now than it was 15 years ago.
Always love spending the day with you and your family. Thank you
Oh no! So, crack a line around the centre of the egg. Grab a normal spoon, insert the spoon in under the shell of the egg at the crack line and simply rotate around the egg. The shell will fall right off. No more picking at little pieces of shell.
Love your videos.... Keep them coming.
Take care and stay safe.
Keeping you all in my prayers 🙏stay safe!

U can hard boiled your eggs in the oven 350 25 to 30 min depending how u like them just stick one egg in each muffin timeout even in ur big one and put them in urban preheated oven then put them in ice water so easy. The only way I do it lol And for cracking the eggs when I take them out of the oven I put them in the ice water and I make sure 2 crack them all like really hard but just each on the side of the sink real quick and then let them soak in the ice water tether not hot and the shells come right off
Hi Kim, im in the UK but hate bugs too and im sure ours isnt as big as yours ! Nobody understands me! so glad you are the same, thinking of you be safe in the hurricane x
Thank goodness you are gonna be safe Kim. I love watching you bake and cook things. Cant wait for your Thanksgiving video this year. I loved last years and I still watch it over and over. Those boxes were great for that stuff too. Love you and the family.
Lol I definitely have molasses in my cupboard -- it's mine and my kiddos favorite cookie! I know you're not predicted to get the worst of the storms, but I really hope that you and your family are safe. I also nothing but well wishes for you and the baby.
I’ve been doing the daily tidy at least making sure the kitchen & living room & bathrooms are semi cleaned lol. I’ve been saving laundry till the weekend since my kids wear uniforms to school it just makes things a little easier. Plus our family all uses cloth wipes the baby has his cloth diapers, I use cloth feminine products so I wash all of those like either Wednesday/Thursday but always a load of those on Sunday too lol
If you add white vinegar to the water that you boil the eggs the peel slips off! I doesn’t add the taste to the eggs but it does get the smell in your kitchen but it’s worth it!
My name is Kim...lol. You are too funny. Glad you guys are safe!
Always enjoy hanging out with you!
I make hard boiled eggs the old fashioned way too lol. I add a pinch of salt and a splash of vinegar before the water boils and they're so easy to peel! Fresh or not
I learned a trick for softening cold butter sticks. Microwave each side (as in you will flip it 4 times) for about 4 second each. Works like a charm!
