Kim, a long time watcher here… you don’t owe anyone a response about your sister. In practically every dang video, you make a reference of your amazing sister. Those of us who watch you, know the references and tear up with you. Keep being you. Take the trip. Live the life. Look out for those cardinals ❤
If I can add to the "take the trip" mentality. Burn those candles, use the fancy dishes and wear that special outfit don't wait for a special time. Use it and take advantage of each moment.
@@KS-un3piI love this! We collect antiques, and I use many of them daily! I had a visitor not too long ago say “I can’t believe you use that!” Well? Why wouldn’t I use it! I bought it and I love it and if it’s still functional why would I just put it on a shelf! Life is too short! Be happy! Do what you love!
I couldn’t believe that someone would say that to you. You offer us a glimpse into your family’s life and can’t be expected to share everything. A loss will always affect others whether we show it or not. ❤😢
This might sound weird to some people, but I thank God every day for putting your channel in my RUclips feed over 2 years ago. You are a blessing to watch every Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday. May God continue to bless you, Alex, and y'alls beautiful family.
@@tammyjones8102 I'm so sorry for your loss. Glad my comment wasn't weird. Some people say I sound like a creep when I thank the different RUclipsr's for being real and genuine.
@@LindaFoyle glad you agree, friend. Hope you're doing well. I'm home from the hospital. I have to follow-up with my regular doctor and GI doctor. Crohn's isn't for the weak.
The person who made that comment about your feelings on loosing Tina was INCREDIBLY INSENSITIVE!!! Loosing someone close to you is the worse thing a person can live through. 😢
Totally agree, I lost my brother in 2013 I think about him all the time and I can guarantee someone in the family will talk about him atleast once a day. I don’t understand the person that said it doesn’t affect Kim even said that, how on earth would they know we watch a very small snippet of Kim’s life (amazing snippets) obviously you wouldn’t show it in all your videos. This has really upset me how someone can say that losing a sibling is devastating and never gets better we just learn to cope with it. We love you Kim xxxx
I lost my brother in 2007, he was 11 and I was 14. I still tear up talking about him sometimes, sometimes I randomly cry still- but less often every year. I think about him all the time. It is a hard loss 🤍
Oh the tears listening to you talk about Tina. Losing someone you love never gets easy. Life continues but with a big hole in your heart. I have been rewatching your older videos and just got to the one where you explained that she was sick and you were shopping for things to make her hospital stay more comfortable. Broke my heart watching because I knew the pain you’d soon be facing. I pray daily for your family, and those that loved Tina, even tho I don’t know you in “real life”. Remembering how she was there with the children when you went into labor with the next, and how she had passed before Wolfgang, heart breaking 💔
I have adopted your mantra of “I’m just doing the best I can over here.” Never underestimate how many lives you’re improving with your fantastic attitude.
LOVE the answer to "do you believe in Jesus" , "well of course" ,(who wouldn't love Jesus) lol I respect your ability to just stay away from politics and religion. It shows consideration and respect and it shows , once again , your emotional intellegence and maturity.
I mean Jewish people for starters. “Who wouldn’t love Jesus” is a very narrow minded view of the world. Thousands of religions and those people I’m sure don’t believe they are doing anything wrong for not “loving Jesus”.
I love that you talked about your sister. I've wondered how you have done since losing her and yes, you aren't going to come on RUclips crying about the loss of your sister every video. That comment was really insensitive. I'm happy you addressed it. ❤
Hi Kim I’m your neighbor from Tarpon Springs Florida. I had cancer for 3 years and you got me through it , if I was down you cheered me up. Thank you. Dava
I remember when Tina got sick with COVID and was in the hospital because it was at the same time my mom was also hospitalized and it was difficult because no visits were allowed. Both your sister Tina and my mom (whose nickname was Tina) are in heaven now watching over us, happy and proud. I felt your grief answering that question as I felt my grief at the same time.
I've heard the hardest time in a marriage is the first 7 yrs and when a woman hits menopause...no joke menopause is not a fun time and if the man isn't patient and understanding for the MANY years the female body is changing its over. We've known couples that have been married over 25 yrs that have gotten divorced during this awful time in a woman's life. Thank God my husband and I communicate well so I can explain to him how I feel and we are on 30 yrs together
Than you for being my friend. Loss of a sibling is hard. I don't talk about my sister every day, but I think about her every day. And when I really need her 'Jessie's Girl' - her favourite song will randomly play on the radio. It brightens my day every time!
Isn't it funny how those moments happen? I am the type to hear "the song" and get goosebumps and tell them, I miss you so much. You have missed so much life.
Kim, just so you know, I notice little things ALL THE TIME that you say and do and I think, "That's because of her sister." It's SO obvious how much you love and miss her. You're doing a wonderful job honoring her memory and carrying on her spirit. Of course I didn't know her, but I get to know a little bit of you and if she helped shape the woman you are, she must have been really really great. Sending you big hugs.
Dear Kim, I'm so sorry that you lost your sister. I lost my only sister about 7 years ago, and I miss her every day. 😢. Noone else knows what you feel, and they shouldn't make mean comments about it.
Lost my sister three years ago 😢think about her everyday just don’t go around talking about it. Keep being you, we love Kimberly Whisk for who she is that’s why we’re here. ❤
My father passed 10 months ago and I've had similar comments from people about how I don't seem affected. We were very close and it always pisses me off when peopme make comments as if they have any way of telling what I'm feeling in the inside! We don't all grieve out loud on social media. Some of us need to process those emotions privately and that is perfectly valid. I hope you know you don't owe an explanation to anyone about how you grieve your sister ❤
Oof. You speaking about your sister got me. I remember you addressing her passing and sobbed with you. (Sidenote on the person commenting you seem unaffected...why anyone would presume to know your feelings outside of your videos is beyond me). ❤
We need to be lifting each other up more and not each other down! We are ALL on this ride called life together!! You are amazing Kim thank you for being you and being a friend 🥰
It constantly amazes me, just how insensitive some people can be. Grief is subjective most of the time and crying eventually eases off to the occasional bout. I lost a sister, way to young and it's one of the hardest things. I still find myself simply imagining that she's at home and I could pop round for a cuppa. I'll hear a song or a smell a smell and grief floods in. Some people assume, just because you have a RUclips channel, that they are privy to your deepest feelings, and you should 'show' your grief to them! It's madness and definitely at the top of my 'pet peeves'. Grief comes in waves, sometimes you can stay afloat but sometimes you drown in it and it's very personal. You can ask how someone is but you can never comment on how or when they grieve. ❤❤
Kim! I’m getting ready to turn 61 at the end of this month, raised two nice young men, married 35 years to an amazing hubby and absolutely LOVE YOUR VIDEOS! I love your energy, attitude, loving demeanor & positive parenting style, and the fact that you realize and acknowledge that time is fleeting. Your comment about carrying two kids and all the things and passing the two older ladies on the beach, really hit home! I did the best I could during the child rearing years, and wish I had taken more moments to savor the chaos of those days. Now a new grandma to a very sweet & oh so energetic little boy, I am doing better at soaking it in. You are a huge ray of sunshine & happy in my life & I feel so blessed to be able to watch you grow with the family. You always spark so much joy I am sometimes moved to tears. ❤ Stay well, thank you & God Bless You!❤ You are made for exactly what you do in this world for me & “obviously” so many other friends & viewers. ❤
OMG please film a closet declutter video! Those are my FAVORITE videos. I watch them over and over again. Do not listen to the haters! When you talked about Tina, it made me cry.
Jody here, Richard my husband. The very best thing that happens with kids is when they are full grown, productive adults and turn into your best friends! BIG FEELS! I have three. They are so happy, settled and successful, I literally beam with joy and accomplishment. God blessed me!!
Grief is different for everyone. My sister was 48 when she passed 5 years ago , she was my only/best friend. I live a life she cannot. I try to be all the wonderful things I admired in her. God Bless.
My heart broke when you spoke about Tina, she sounds like the older sister we all need! I love the go get it, seize the day, do the thing mentality. We can all be a bit more Tina xxxx
Teenagers are awesome. Put in the work when they're little by building a relationship with them and teach them respect and you will reap the benefits of amazing teenagers!
Kim, I’m so sorry that that person said something so hurtful but unfortunately there are people like that in this world love your videos. Love your family.
@@normanelson233seriously! The audacity of some people is shocking to say the least. It’s always been obvious to me how much Tina meant to her. Trolls just hiding under a bridge. Being awful. Smh!
@@CaliAnimalLoverIt’s like that quote that is attributed to Mike Tyson “ Social media made y’all way too comfortable with disrespecting people and not getting punched in the face for it! “
My only sibling, my sis, passed away almost 20 years ago & my husband of 48 years passed almost 7 years ago. It is pretty much just me & my cats. Most close friends live away from me. Life has been very strange these past few years with covid & so on so I turned to RUclips vloggers. I discovered you through your cooking videos :) I love your personality, enjoy your kiddos, cried over your sis, and just really look forward to your vlogs each week. Ignore the haters and keep on enjoying your children and husband. Never go to bed angry and tell your family you love them often ❤ Thank you for all your fun content !
The hardest part for me with my girls was high school. Suddenly, I knew nothing and was just there to be mean because we had rules. That was hard. I lost my little girls. Once 19-20 came I got them back. They continue to grow and become who they are supposed to be but I'm invited along. So grateful. Every phrase can be hard and wonderful at once.
What a beautiful tribute to your sister and your devastating loss. I’m sorry for your loss and that comment. I have noticed many times you speaking about her and what she meant to you. It sounds like you are living as she did and would want you to do ❤
Get those chain link kennel panels and wire them to the top of your coop area. It will prevent predators especially Owls & Hawks. If you have a Racoon problem getting more chickens is just signing their death warrant if you don't make it impossible for any animal entry! Foxes and Racoons have no problem climbing over. I love when you do Q&A is so much fun!
That's what I was thinking. If a raccoon is coming out at night it's normal but during the day it could have rabies. Also when she calls her chickens in for the night she needs to lock them in their coop. Have a good day.
I lost my dad in 92 my mom in 93 and my only sister in 1996 she was killed in a car accident with her husband. She was 14 years older than me and she was my backbone, best friend and my super hero. I miss them all but losing my sister has been a difficult experience that is forever heartbreaking. I really enjoyed your Q&A Kim and thank you for being a friend. ❤️
Kim I've 5 kids triplets in the middle. All are still at home with us. Hardest part has been always working full time so I embrace every stage and our family have each others back. ❤❤❤
Don't pay any attention to that comment about your sister. I lost my sister & my only child. You just have to keep going, some days harder than others. You are a wonderful mother & bring joy to so many.
😂 Oh my gosh! The hilarity! I love the validation for the other mama. Then the commentary on how your kid sleeps through the night at 2 years old, so... 😂 I was actually LOL!!! Thank you for this video. 🥰
Your Q and A session was awesome, Kim. I’ve been a friend for over 3 years now and knew about many of the things you shared with us. I wish I had been blessed with a sister as kind and understanding as Tina. The bottom line is that you are a phenomenal person, a sensational wife and mother and I love that you let the kids enjoy being kids!
I lost my brother and he was the closest person to me in the family I was born into. It’s been 12 years and I hurt still, I miss him so much it’s unreal. People don’t understand that you HAVE to keep going. It doesn’t mean my brother wasn’t important or isn’t missed, it means my life can’t end. I have been given more years than he had and that is a blessing.
Why do we judge each other? Women are especially guilty of it. We need to empathize and support one another. We’re all doing our best. ❤ Thank you for being a positive spot for many of us!
I wish I could like this comment a hundred times over! I feel like women really need to love and support each other! The last thing we should be doing is tearing each other down! I say this all the time too. Let’s stick together and lift each other up!
Thanks for spending the morning with me!! You’re my favorite RUclipsr/mom influencer. You stay relatable and humble. I love that you have the house of your dreams. Your priority is your children and home and you love Jesus!! You don’t know me but you make me feel like I have a friend in my lonely stay at home mom days!! Thanks for that!
You give great advice Kim!! How dare anyone belittle you losing your precious sister!! People are ridiculous! Shame on them. 😡 What do they want you to do? Cry on your channel all the time. I’m so sorry for your loss. 😢 I lost my mom in 2015 and my precious daughter in 2016!Everyone grieves differently. No one has a right to tell anyone how to feel. Your channel is uplifting and fun. Keep up the great work my fellow Canadian. 🇨🇦
I also have 5! I can concur with everything you said- getting to spend time individually is so important and it gets harder with each kid. 5 is a lot people 😂
Kim, it breaks my heart when you talk about losing your sister. I'm so close to my big sis and her children and I can't imagine what you've gone through. Love ya lil lady xx
Hi Kim, don't mean to get all sentimental but honestly with 5 kids, a house to maintain, and your RUclips Chanel and all the chores in between you are a true powerhouse. I have days when I don't even wanna get out of bed, you are such an inspiration. Keep going Kim you really are one of the strongest women, never let anyone get you down. dedication and persistence is key, and you have nailed it. Keep up the great work gal, when things get tough you always power through! Much Love from England UK, been to Florida back in 2007 and hope to return. Much Love From The Other Side of The Pond. ❤❤❤❤
As a single mum...Not all teenagers are a nightmare..my boys now 25 and 20 were really great teenagers and we are still a family unit now. It's how you raise them so you are going to be eyeroll free Kim trust me xx
Kim thank you so much for being you, for sharing things you don't have to share. I just lost my mother and when you spoke about your loss I completely understand that pain and loss. Hanging out with you has helped me a ton keep sticking to my daily routines. Thank you, sending prayers and love to you and your family.
I love your perspective in regards to ‘just wait’ for positive things. I have a 10 month old and so many people say things like ohhh just wait til this or that, implying negative or hard times. I know it’s gonna be hard, I’m just trying to focus on the good here!! Thank you for your content!
Long time viewer, first time commenter… regarding the comments about how things change when kids become teenagers… I’ve raised two kids (now 20 and 17) and I feel fortunate to say that no it doesn’t necessarily get difficult during those teenage years. As the saying goes, you are who you surround yourself with. This applies to both family and friends. If you make the effort to get to know your kid’s friends and their families and you ensure those are like minded people to your circle, the teenage years are amazing. It’s a blessing to watch kids become amazing teenagers and young adults. You’re doing a great job in raising your kiddos and I look forward to being able to see your kids grow through their teenage years!
When you loose a person close to you of course it effects you daily and you miss them. My husband died almost 6 years ago. It hurts daily but you have to live your life and honor them ❤
🇨🇵 French people do love you! I'm French and I watch American RUclips content all the time! I go the the US in vacation. We even have an expression : "c'est l'Amérique !" (=this is America!) when something is amazing! See! 🥰 We love you guys, please don't think that we don't!
Kim, can I just give you a hug? 🫂 Hearing your talk about your sister, God rest her soul. Made my heart heavy for you. Loss is something we carry with us for the rest of our own lives. Never forgotten and always on our minds. Love from Texas 💛
Just to give my 2 cents..I never lost my girls. They are 25 and 17. Yes had a little rough spot but never anything grand. Every stage is different with different challenges. Always changing but always great!
I did make a comment but wanted to let you know that I was 15 when I lost my brother, I’m 62 it never gets better you only cry less. And my youngest son slept with us till he was in school we actually made a cake to celebrate him sleeping in his own bed. He’s a fabulous man now. So don’t worry you are a great mom haven’t seen one even close to you. As they say you are the woman across the room
Kimberly, you are amazing! Your personality is soo uplifting. I always feel better as soon as I watch your videos. Thank you for being you! Love from Romania!
Totally agree with the parenting a teen rant. Some days are hard, but some days are amazing. And my youngest is now 14. We have 6 and the oldest is 23. I had no idea how happy (bittersweet, albeit) this stage of my life would be. The fulfillment is on another level. Watching your children grow up and become amazing adults is the best feeling in the world. They’re all my absolute favorite people to be around.
Chicken pizza: Ground chicken seasoned as you like- it’s the crust Top it with whatever you like. I love grilled onions, bacon, bbq sauce, peppers, pepperoni anything! Bake until the chicken is cooked through!
Also, when they get older you get to see the amazing things they do, the new interests they pick up and how they work out their faith! So much awesomeness ahead for you! I have 7 kids between 17 and 30 years old!
I APPRECIATE your openness and vulnerability answering that question about your sister but it breaks my heart to even hear you having to justify your grief. Your sister sounds like a WONDERFUL woman.
It angers me that someone would question the love that you have your sister. You’re such a pleasant person and I absolutely love your videos. They’re highlight of my day. I’m always excited and click on yours first when I open my feed you’re a great mom, wife, homemaker, host and I’m sure you would be a great friend and a sister.
I ❤ watching your channel and all the great content. What is most heartening, is how tirelessly and selflessly you work to take care of the family. Thanks for sharing your journey and good wishes to you and the family. ❤
Having lost a beloved older sister (also almost 15 yrs. older), I know the pain that is in your heart. I love your videos and your positive attitude about life. Keep being you and ignore the rude people. There will always be someone who will find fault.
Kim I LOVE your videos. I am 61 and feel like I get to relive my "happy chaos" of my mom years when I watch them. Happy to say I am loving the "happy chaos" of Grandmahood. lol
22:00 oh Kim me too.. I had a Velcro kid and omg that was sooo hard getting him to where he felt secure enough without mom, I remained in the attachment parenting style all the time until he was kinda out of it.. he’s almond 16 years old now and such an amazing gentle caring human being.. You guys will be sooo proud of him when he grows up if you just handle it with love and grace like you are doing now ❤
Kim..You are just an AMAZING person and We all love you for the Sweet and Sincere person you are and you bring us so much joy,.To watch you is truly puts a lot of happiness in our day.Many Thanks Love from Kansas. YOU MAKE US ALL SMILE😁
Thank you for saying what you did about kids. So many people that I have personally had conversations with complain and talk about how they yell at their kids because they have moods or “take work”. But they are acting the same way. I feel like so many parents have this idea that kids are little “robots “ but they are humans too with real emotions and their own personalities. It’s our job to help guide them by our actions and help them work through it. If you look at them as a burden then they will be, if you look at them as a blessing then they will be. Also, you are a product of your association so your kids learn most from their parents, they are a reflection of us. There’s so many good things that come with having children if you choose to see them!
When you come to Germany, you and your family are invited vor dinner ❤ And a guided Tour in Our medival town. We live up north betwenn the Ocean and Hamburg. Love from Germany Sabrina
So glad you talked about children growing into new chapters that are also amazing. A friend of mine once said that parents should try to love their child. I think that's true. It's an active choice to choose to love your child at each stage, just like you choose to love your spouse every day. Its not always easy and doesnt always come naturally (as we expect it to) but there are beautiful parts to each stage of life your child is in.
We spoke once before about this, but I completely understand the loss of your sister. As I lost my one and only sister around the same time and it is such a hole in my heart every single day. Although I don’t speak of it every single day I understand how it lives in you every single day. Keeping you in thoughts. And funny thing is my sister’s name. Is Kim as well.😊
The question about does it get easier as kids get older. I have 5 kids also ages 23,22,20,17,15…the physical exhaustion gets better, the mental exhaustion gets a bit harder as they get older and become more independent. But the joy and satisfaction of seeing your children become adults and seeing all that hard work you put into raising them paying off makes it feel easier. It’s all worth it to watch your kids become happy productive caring adults. The teenage/early 20s has by far been my favorite part of parenting.
Ive been on RUclips watching Family for over 12 years now. Never ever did I come across a channel that is so real and genuine like yours Kimberly 🥰🥰🥰 I went out and bought the same amika stuff at my TK Max (yes in Germany it's tk.) 🤣 but no didn't work for me either 😅😅 I swear on Kristin ess signature and all things kerastase. They have shampoos for every specific hair need. Thanks for making our days a little brighter in this dark world. All love xoxo🥰
I was pregnant with my 4th and final while you were pregnant with your 5th and final. Your comment about feeling complete is exactly how I feel! My parents keep bugging us to have another… that’s a big fat nope for me!
I just wanted to say that I am in the thick of it with toddlers as well, and your channel is such a blessing. Every morning that I make it up before my kids I take those few minutes to have a coffee and watch your latest video. Thank you for all the positivity, best wishes for you and your fam 🥰
Mother to 3 adults. Each stage has it's ups and downs. My best advice is to enjoy each stage because you'll miss it once it is gone. So to all the mothers out there, have a great day and stay blessed
We have older teens and I 100% agree that the teen years have been much more relaxed than the toddler years! I love being a teen mom, sometimes people can be negative, but you get out what you put in.
Kim, a long time watcher here… you don’t owe anyone a response about your sister.
In practically every dang video, you make a reference of your amazing sister. Those of us who watch you, know the references and tear up with you.
Keep being you. Take the trip. Live the life. Look out for those cardinals ❤
Well said.! Why would someone say something so cruel? I am sorry Kim, you don’t deserve this kind of judgement. Cruelty to others is not ok.
It saddened and shocked me to hear someone asking and saying what they said. I’m sure Kim thinks of her always.
If I can add to the "take the trip" mentality. Burn those candles, use the fancy dishes and wear that special outfit don't wait for a special time. Use it and take advantage of each moment.

You’re so right, we’re on 42 years and it’s a terrible time for both.
The divorce rate during the wife going though menopause is very high. It’s so sad because it’s not recognized as a reason that can be talked through.
Menopause is rough. Raising teens and Menopause. My poor husband emotions all over the place.
I have never heard this before!! Very interesting
Than you for being my friend. Loss of a sibling is hard. I don't talk about my sister every day, but I think about her every day. And when I really need her 'Jessie's Girl' - her favourite song will randomly play on the radio. It brightens my day every time!
That's beautiful 🥲 I bet she's with you in that exact moment❤🙏🏻.
Isn't it funny how those moments happen? I am the type to hear "the song" and get goosebumps and tell them, I miss you so much. You have missed so much life.
Kim, just so you know, I notice little things ALL THE TIME that you say and do and I think, "That's because of her sister." It's SO obvious how much you love and miss her. You're doing a wonderful job honoring her memory and carrying on her spirit. Of course I didn't know her, but I get to know a little bit of you and if she helped shape the woman you are, she must have been really really great. Sending you big hugs.
Dear Kim, I'm so sorry that you lost your sister. I lost my only sister about 7 years ago, and I miss her every day. 😢. Noone else knows what you feel, and they shouldn't make mean comments about it.
Lost my sister three years ago 😢think about her everyday just don’t go around talking about it. Keep being you, we love Kimberly Whisk for who she is that’s why we’re here. ❤
My father passed 10 months ago and I've had similar comments from people about how I don't seem affected. We were very close and it always pisses me off when peopme make comments as if they have any way of telling what I'm feeling in the inside! We don't all grieve out loud on social media. Some of us need to process those emotions privately and that is perfectly valid. I hope you know you don't owe an explanation to anyone about how you grieve your sister ❤
Oof. You speaking about your sister got me. I remember you addressing her passing and sobbed with you.
(Sidenote on the person commenting you seem unaffected...why anyone would presume to know your feelings outside of your videos is beyond me).
❤
We need to be lifting each other up more and not each other down! We are ALL on this ride called life together!! You are amazing Kim thank you for being you and being a friend 🥰
It constantly amazes me, just how insensitive some people can be. Grief is subjective most of the time and crying eventually eases off to the occasional bout. I lost a sister, way to young and it's one of the hardest things. I still find myself simply imagining that she's at home and I could pop round for a cuppa. I'll hear a song or a smell a smell and grief floods in. Some people assume, just because you have a RUclips channel, that they are privy to your deepest feelings, and you should 'show' your grief to them! It's madness and definitely at the top of my 'pet peeves'. Grief comes in waves, sometimes you can stay afloat but sometimes you drown in it and it's very personal. You can ask how someone is but you can never comment on how or when they grieve. ❤❤
Kim!
I’m getting ready to turn 61 at the end of this month, raised two nice young men, married 35 years to an amazing hubby and absolutely LOVE YOUR VIDEOS! I love your energy, attitude, loving demeanor & positive parenting style, and the fact that you realize and acknowledge that time is fleeting. Your comment about carrying two kids and all the things and passing the two older ladies on the beach, really hit home! I did the best I could during the child rearing years, and wish I had taken more moments to savor the chaos of those days. Now a new grandma to a very sweet & oh so energetic little boy, I am doing better at soaking it in. You are a huge ray of sunshine & happy in my life & I feel so blessed to be able to watch you grow with the family. You always spark so much joy I am sometimes moved to tears. ❤ Stay well, thank you & God Bless You!❤ You are made for exactly what you do in this world for me & “obviously” so many other friends & viewers. ❤
OMG please film a closet declutter video! Those are my FAVORITE videos. I watch them over and over again. Do not listen to the haters!
When you talked about Tina, it made me cry.
Jody here, Richard my husband. The very best thing that happens with kids is when they are full grown, productive adults and turn into your best friends! BIG FEELS! I have three. They are so happy, settled and successful, I literally beam with joy and accomplishment. God blessed me!!
Grief is different for everyone. My sister was 48 when she passed 5 years ago , she was my only/best friend. I live a life she cannot. I try to be all the wonderful things I admired in her. God Bless.
My heart broke when you spoke about Tina, she sounds like the older sister we all need! I love the go get it, seize the day, do the thing mentality. We can all be a bit more Tina xxxx
The speed at which I click on Kimberly Whisk notifications 🥰🏃♀️➡️
I don’t think you realize how much we all love you. I can’t do without your videos 🩷
Teenagers are awesome. Put in the work when they're little by building a relationship with them and teach them respect and you will reap the benefits of amazing teenagers!
💯 agree. I didn't "lose" my daughter or son. They still talk my ear off at 19 & 20.
Yes, this! ❤ my 15 yr old!
Kim, I’m so sorry that that person said something so hurtful but unfortunately there are people like that in this world love your videos. Love your family.
I know I was so angry how could someone do that.
@@normanelson233seriously! The audacity of some people is shocking to say the least. It’s always been obvious to me how much Tina meant to her. Trolls just hiding under a bridge. Being awful. Smh!
@@CaliAnimalLoverIt’s like that quote that is attributed to Mike Tyson “ Social media made y’all way too comfortable with disrespecting people and not getting punched in the face for it! “
Kim, I hope you stay on RUclips for a long time. You really do bring happy to my day!
Yessss we want the declutter videos!!!!! All the time everytime!!
My only sibling, my sis, passed away almost 20 years ago & my husband of 48 years passed almost 7 years ago. It is pretty much just me & my cats. Most close friends live away from me. Life has been very strange these past few years with covid & so on so I turned to RUclips vloggers. I discovered you through your cooking videos :) I love your personality, enjoy your kiddos, cried over your sis, and just really look forward to your vlogs each week. Ignore the haters and keep on enjoying your children and husband. Never go to bed angry and tell your family you love them often ❤
Thank you for all your fun content !
The hardest part for me with my girls was high school. Suddenly, I knew nothing and was just there to be mean because we had rules. That was hard. I lost my little girls. Once 19-20 came I got them back. They continue to grow and become who they are supposed to be but I'm invited along. So grateful. Every phrase can be hard and wonderful at once.
Loved this Kim! And to the person who made the statement that it appeared her sister’s death doesn’t seem to really affect her, this is for you. 🥊
What a beautiful tribute to your sister and your devastating loss. I’m sorry for your loss and that comment. I have noticed many times you speaking about her and what she meant to you. It sounds like you are living as she did and would want you to do ❤
I’m 75 and still roll my eyes!! I think you’re a great mom.
My brother died when I was 19 you never forget you just learn to think about them in a different way ! You carry them with you x
Get those chain link kennel panels and wire them to the top of your coop area. It will prevent predators especially Owls & Hawks. If you have a Racoon problem getting more chickens is just signing their death warrant if you don't make it impossible for any animal entry! Foxes and Racoons have no problem climbing over. I love when you do Q&A is so much fun!
That's what I was thinking. If a raccoon is coming out at night it's normal but during the day it could have rabies. Also when she calls her chickens in for the night she needs to lock them in their coop. Have a good day.
I lost my dad in 92 my mom in 93 and my only sister in 1996 she was killed in a car accident with her husband. She was 14 years older than me and she was my backbone, best friend and my super hero. I miss them all but losing my sister has been a difficult experience that is forever heartbreaking. I really enjoyed your Q&A Kim and thank you for being a friend. ❤️
Kim I've 5 kids triplets in the middle. All are still at home with us. Hardest part has been always working full time so I embrace every stage and our family have each others back. ❤❤❤
Don't pay any attention to that comment about your sister. I lost my sister & my only child. You just have to keep going, some days harder than others. You are a wonderful mother & bring joy to so many.
I’m so incredibly sorry for your losses ❤
😂 Oh my gosh! The hilarity! I love the validation for the other mama. Then the commentary on how your kid sleeps through the night at 2 years old, so... 😂 I was actually LOL!!! Thank you for this video. 🥰
Your Q and A session was awesome, Kim. I’ve been a friend for over 3 years now and knew about many of the things you shared with us. I wish I had been blessed with a sister as kind and understanding as Tina. The bottom line is that you are a phenomenal person, a sensational wife and mother and I love that you let the kids enjoy being kids!
I lost my brother and he was the closest person to me in the family I was born into. It’s been 12 years and I hurt still, I miss him so much it’s unreal. People don’t understand that you HAVE to keep going. It doesn’t mean my brother wasn’t important or isn’t missed, it means my life can’t end. I have been given more years than he had and that is a blessing.
I appreciate your responding to some of the surprisingly rude questions, especially concerning your sister. You are very gracious.
Why do we judge each other? Women are especially guilty of it. We need to empathize and support one another. We’re all doing our best. ❤
Thank you for being a positive spot for many of us!
I wish I could like this comment a hundred times over! I feel like women really need to love and support each other! The last thing we should be doing is tearing each other down! I say this all the time too. Let’s stick together and lift each other up!
Thanks for spending the morning with me!! You’re my favorite RUclipsr/mom influencer. You stay relatable and humble. I love that you have the house of your dreams. Your priority is your children and home and you love Jesus!! You don’t know me but you make me feel like I have a friend in my lonely stay at home mom days!! Thanks for that!
You give great advice Kim!!
How dare anyone belittle you losing your precious sister!! People are ridiculous!
Shame on them. 😡
What do they want you to do? Cry on your channel all the time. I’m so sorry for your loss. 😢
I lost my mom in 2015 and my precious daughter in 2016!Everyone grieves differently. No one has a right to tell anyone how to feel. Your channel is uplifting and fun. Keep up the great work my fellow Canadian. 🇨🇦
I also have 5! I can concur with everything you said- getting to spend time individually is so important and it gets harder with each kid. 5 is a lot people 😂
Kim not only are you the woman across the room but also the MOM across the room
ALL the moms you come in contact with are negative?! That’s interesting.
Kim, it breaks my heart when you talk about losing your sister. I'm so close to my big sis and her children and I can't imagine what you've gone through. Love ya lil lady xx
I thought this was live lol. I’m usually not up this early and when I saw the notification of Q&A I was like click!
I lost ky oldest son 12-31-23 . My heart hurts everyday without him . Kim never stop being you ❤
Hi Kim, don't mean to get all sentimental but honestly with 5 kids, a house to maintain, and your RUclips Chanel and all the chores in between you are a true powerhouse. I have days when I don't even wanna get out of bed, you are such an inspiration. Keep going Kim you really are one of the strongest women, never let anyone get you down. dedication and persistence is key, and you have nailed it. Keep up the great work gal, when things get tough you always power through! Much Love from England UK, been to Florida back in 2007 and hope to return. Much Love From The Other Side of The Pond. ❤❤❤❤
As a single mum...Not all teenagers are a nightmare..my boys now 25 and 20 were really great teenagers and we are still a family unit now. It's how you raise them so you are going to be eyeroll free Kim trust me xx
Kim thank you so much for being you, for sharing things you don't have to share. I just lost my mother and when you spoke about your loss I completely understand that pain and loss. Hanging out with you has helped me a ton keep sticking to my daily routines. Thank you, sending prayers and love to you and your family.
I love your perspective in regards to ‘just wait’ for positive things. I have a 10 month old and so many people say things like ohhh just wait til this or that, implying negative or hard times. I know it’s gonna be hard, I’m just trying to focus on the good here!! Thank you for your content!
Long time viewer, first time commenter… regarding the comments about how things change when kids become teenagers… I’ve raised two kids (now 20 and 17) and I feel fortunate to say that no it doesn’t necessarily get difficult during those teenage years. As the saying goes, you are who you surround yourself with. This applies to both family and friends. If you make the effort to get to know your kid’s friends and their families and you ensure those are like minded people to your circle, the teenage years are amazing. It’s a blessing to watch kids become amazing teenagers and young adults. You’re doing a great job in raising your kiddos and I look forward to being able to see your kids grow through their teenage years!
YOU are definitely the woman across the room!!! You motivate me every single day!!!!
When you loose a person close to you of course it effects you daily and you miss them. My husband died almost 6 years ago. It hurts daily but you have to live your life and honor them ❤
🇨🇵 French people do love you! I'm French and I watch American RUclips content all the time! I go the the US in vacation. We even have an expression : "c'est l'Amérique !" (=this is America!) when something is amazing! See! 🥰 We love you guys, please don't think that we don't!
Kim, can I just give you a hug? 🫂 Hearing your talk about your sister, God rest her soul. Made my heart heavy for you. Loss is something we carry with us for the rest of our own lives. Never forgotten and always on our minds. Love from Texas 💛
You have helped me become the best version of myself and I'm so glad to have a friend like you
Parasocial relationships are creepy
@JJ-mh8ej You must not watch her channel. Bully someone else.
Just to give my 2 cents..I never lost my girls. They are 25 and 17. Yes had a little rough spot but never anything grand. Every stage is different with different challenges. Always changing but always great!
I have 2 boys. 4 and 20 months old. This comment gives me hope! Thanks for sharing 🥹
You have me hooked just watching the intro.
Love a good Kimberly Whisk short story long 😊
Have sweet dreams, V... Sending love your way! 🩷
Hey sweet friend. Hope you and your family are doing well. We're continuing to pray for y'all.
@aimee2234 hey Aimee. I miss "talking" with you and V. Hope y'all and y'alls families are doing well. We're continuing to pray for y'all, too.
I did make a comment but wanted to let you know that I was 15 when I lost my brother, I’m 62 it never gets better you only cry less. And my youngest son slept with us till he was in school we actually made a cake to celebrate him sleeping in his own bed. He’s a fabulous man now. So don’t worry you are a great mom haven’t seen one even close to you. As they say you are the woman across the room
Kimberly, you are amazing! Your personality is soo uplifting. I always feel better as soon as I watch your videos. Thank you for being you! Love from Romania!
Totally agree with the parenting a teen rant. Some days are hard, but some days are amazing. And my youngest is now 14. We have 6 and the oldest is 23. I had no idea how happy (bittersweet, albeit) this stage of my life would be. The fulfillment is on another level. Watching your children grow up and become amazing adults is the best feeling in the world. They’re all my absolute favorite people to be around.
Chicken pizza:
Ground chicken seasoned as you like- it’s the crust
Top it with whatever you like. I love grilled onions, bacon, bbq sauce, peppers, pepperoni anything!
Bake until the chicken is cooked through!
Great way to start my day! Thanks Mrs. Whisk ♥️
Also, when they get older you get to see the amazing things they do, the new interests they pick up and how they work out their faith! So much awesomeness ahead for you! I have 7 kids between 17 and 30 years old!
I APPRECIATE your openness and vulnerability answering that question about your sister but it breaks my heart to even hear you having to justify your grief.
Your sister sounds like a WONDERFUL woman.
happily married 32 years 4 grown kids, miss the time they were all together, Christmas is not enough time. Enjoy this phase of your life.
It angers me that someone would question the love that you have your sister. You’re such a pleasant person and I absolutely love your videos. They’re highlight of my day. I’m always excited and click on yours first when I open my feed you’re a great mom, wife, homemaker, host and I’m sure you would be a great friend and a sister.
Kim we all love you! The love that you and Alex show to each other and the children are a joy to watch.
I ❤ watching your channel and all the great content. What is most heartening, is how tirelessly and selflessly you work to take care of the family. Thanks for sharing your journey and good wishes to you and the family. ❤
Having lost a beloved older sister (also almost 15 yrs. older), I know the pain that is in your heart. I love your videos and your positive attitude about life. Keep being you and ignore the rude people. There will always be someone who will find fault.
Kim I LOVE your videos. I am 61 and feel like I get to relive my "happy chaos" of my mom years when I watch them. Happy to say I am loving the "happy chaos" of Grandmahood. lol
22:00 oh Kim me too.. I had a Velcro kid and omg that was sooo hard getting him to where he felt secure enough without mom, I remained in the attachment parenting style all the time until he was kinda out of it.. he’s almond 16 years old now and such an amazing gentle caring human being.. You guys will be sooo proud of him when he grows up if you just handle it with love and grace like you are doing now ❤
Kim..You are just an AMAZING person and We all love you for the Sweet and Sincere person you are and you bring us so much joy,.To watch you is truly puts a lot of happiness in our day.Many Thanks Love from Kansas. YOU MAKE US ALL SMILE😁
Thank you for saying what you did about kids. So many people that I have personally had conversations with complain and talk about how they yell at their kids because they have moods or “take work”. But they are acting the same way. I feel like so many parents have this idea that kids are little “robots “ but they are humans too with real emotions and their own personalities. It’s our job to help guide them by our actions and help them work through it. If you look at them as a burden then they will be, if you look at them as a blessing then they will be. Also, you are a product of your association so your kids learn most from their parents, they are a reflection of us. There’s so many good things that come with having children if you choose to see them!
When you come to Germany, you and your family are invited vor dinner ❤
And a guided Tour in Our medival town. We live up north betwenn the Ocean and Hamburg. Love from Germany

So glad you talked about children growing into new chapters that are also amazing. A friend of mine once said that parents should try to love their child. I think that's true. It's an active choice to choose to love your child at each stage, just like you choose to love your spouse every day. Its not always easy and doesnt always come naturally (as we expect it to) but there are beautiful parts to each stage of life your child is in.
We spoke once before about this, but I completely understand the loss of your sister. As I lost my one and only sister around the same time and it is such a hole in my heart every single day. Although I don’t speak of it every single day I understand how it lives in you every single day. Keeping you in thoughts. And funny thing is my sister’s name. Is Kim as well.😊
Oh my goodness kim! Please come! It's so beautiful up here right now!
The question about does it get easier as kids get older. I have 5 kids also ages 23,22,20,17,15…the physical exhaustion gets better, the mental exhaustion gets a bit harder as they get older and become more independent. But the joy and satisfaction of seeing your children become adults and seeing all that hard work you put into raising them paying off makes it feel easier. It’s all worth it to watch your kids become happy productive caring adults. The teenage/early 20s has by far been my favorite part of parenting.
Love getting to hang out with you during the week! Thank you for continuing to share. We love you!
Ive been on RUclips watching Family for over 12 years now. Never ever did I come across a channel that is so real and genuine like yours Kimberly 🥰🥰🥰 I went out and bought the same amika stuff at my TK Max (yes in Germany it's tk.) 🤣 but no didn't work for me either 😅😅 I swear on Kristin ess signature and all things kerastase. They have shampoos for every specific hair need. Thanks for making our days a little brighter in this dark world. All love xoxo🥰
I was pregnant with my 4th and final while you were pregnant with your 5th and final. Your comment about feeling complete is exactly how I feel! My parents keep bugging us to have another… that’s a big fat nope for me!
I just wanted to say that I am in the thick of it with toddlers as well, and your channel is such a blessing. Every morning that I make it up before my kids I take those few minutes to have a coffee and watch your latest video. Thank you for all the positivity, best wishes for you and your fam 🥰
Nothing was more relatable than your pee story.
HAPPY TUESDAY Kim, family, and chickens. Thanks for truth and sharing. Enjoy your week. STTB
Mother to 3 adults. Each stage has it's ups and downs. My best advice is to enjoy each stage because you'll miss it once it is gone. So to all the mothers out there, have a great day and stay blessed
Love how you raise your hands and they are all muscle-ly❤ you are a strong woman, happy to follow you!
I lost my brother and it kills me to know he will never meet my daughter. I just wanted to reach through the screen and give you the biggest hug.
A Q&A with Kimberly Whisk? Wasn't expecting this this morning. What a surprise! 🎉🎉
We have older teens and I 100% agree that the teen years have been much more relaxed than the toddler years! I love being a teen mom, sometimes people can be negative, but you get out what you put in.
I can’t explain the feels I had seeing my girls’ freckles come in. I LOVE them so much!
