    I have a 15 month, 4 year old, and a 5 year old😮‍💨 I’m EXHAUSTED with life. I’m so heartbroken that my last baby is already learning so much and growing way faster than I want her to. I have crying day where I want 1 more but then there are days when I’m so overwhelmed and really happy we are done.
    I’m so thankful for you and you definitely put a little happy in my day everyday! I typically watch you at night when I’m cooking dinner because it’s my only “free” time😂❤️❤️

    Hey Kim! You are looking great! The blue jean/hubby try on was hilarious. That happened to mine 2 weeks ago he came home and realized he had worn bedazzled pockets all day! Bwaahaha! He was so embarrassed. We are both losing weight and I can't wear them anymore and they got put into his closet. So funny! I loved the rug, btw. Now sure you said you've tried it or not, but frozen water bottles work much better, I think! Stays frozen all day, and who cares if they get lost. Just a thought. Merry Christmas🎄

    I have two kids. My daughter was 32 and my son just turned 20. My daughter passed away at the end of June. I was more than done after two, but now I kind if wish I had one more (I've had a miscarriage and two ectopic pregnancies, so I most likely would have had atleast one more if those pregnancies would have been successful). So yeah, two would have been plenty for me, but now with the loss of my daughter, I think having one more would have been a bit easier on my son and on my heart.

    I have 7 babies… 19, 18, 16, 14, 12, almost 9, and almost 7. My oldest graduated from high school the same year my youngest started kindergarten. I’m finally at the phase you’re referring to, where I can do more without having any littles to worry about. They can all feed themselves and wipe their own butts (😋😂)BUT… I will tell you, while it DOES get easier with no babies dependent on you 24/7, it is a trade off, because teenagers are just as difficult and time consuming. Babies know nothing and need you for everything, teenagers know everything and need you for nothing (🙄😵‍💫), so it really never ends. So I definitely know where you’re coming from, and while you yearn for the next phase (I did too), don’t rush it. Today you can hold them in your arms, tomorrow they’re grown and preparing to move out on their own.

    OMG! The making new friends awkwardness! I felt that in my soul! I was dropping my son off at pre-k and found myself talking to another mom. First just quick comments about the weather and whatnot, but the more we talked the more I was like 'She gets me!'! We have the same anxieties, our kids do the same stupid stuff, we like a lot of the same niche things, and her son is in the same class with my son! I remember driving home with a big dumb smile and talked to my hubby (who works from home) and cheered "I made a friend!!....sort of." Cause like, how DO I ask for her socials without coming off as weird? And what if she doesn't want to be friends with me? UGH! -_- And now that the weather is getting colder she hibernates in her car and I don't get to talk to her! X(

But at the time, I didn't have family around cause I lived in a different state and I made lifelong friends through it. Just look up mom's groups in your local area. And have some confidence.

    I’m 30 this year and I’ve got five kiddos: 6,5,3,2 and 6 months and I love that you’re so open about how overwhelming this stage is. I also love that you don’t edit out the piles of laundry or dishes cause that’s exactly what I have every day and I feel like I’m doing motherhood wrong sometimes when watching videos so thank you for the camaraderie in the midst of all this chaos. I truly love my life and my kiddos but I am glad I’m not the only overwhelmed mom out there.

      Of course it's overwhelming with five small kids! You are NOT the only one. I am 36 and have three kids (almost 9y, 6y and 4 months old) and still it's often overwhelming! Don't know how you do it mama! 💪

    First off...I just recently found your channel and I love you so much! So...phase of life you ask?? Well, I just turned 63...I raised two daughters alone (widow)...who are now 33 and 37. The 37-year-old had two boys...the oldest is 5 and the youngest just turned 3. The oldest is autistic, so that adds a whole new level!! I've been the legal guardian of the oldest since he was 1 1/2 and the youngest since the day he was born. I guess what I'm trying to say is do NOT think this phase is over and done...it can creep back around and life can really surprise you! Man makes plans and God laughs...never have I known that to be so true!! But...they are my heart and I wouldn't have it any other way. God bless you for putting a little laughter in my day...and never forget lady, you are a ROCK STAR! :)

    It's my favorite time of the day... hanging out with the best party people! I make that same potato soup recipe, except I double it (except for the bacon, which is probably x4🤣) I'm currently in the mom season of desperately trying to feed a 6'3" teen, a hollow legged preteen, and 2 growing girls while still maybe having leftovers for my lunch! Every phase is an adventure!

    Hey Kim! I'm a mom of 4 ages 14, 11 (almost 12), 7 (almost 8), and 18 months. The last 2 large gaps were not necessarily on purpose. Having kids close together can be challenging, but having them far apart can be too. We were completely out of baby and little kid stage and thought we might be done, not by choice. Then God said, "Nope, here's one more!" We're so thankful, but man we're doing it all over again!
    Also, totally relate to all the birthdays around the holidays that's us too! 🙋‍♀️🎈🎄 November, December, and January are crazy around here too! 🤪

    Hey Kim! I also have 5 kids ages 15 to 6. I was 39 when I got pregnant with my last baby. It was harder on my body at that point and I knew he was my last. I love that my kids are older and can enjoy things that we do. Definitely don't miss getting up in the middle of the night. But on the other hand I do miss those baby snuggles. Every phase is different and you have to find the beauty in it.

    I just love that you are a scrapbooker, I get that you do digital because of convenience. I’ve been scrapbooking (traditional) for over 20 years, I have almost 1000 videos on RUclips so I love that the kids later will also have videos to watch of me making pages it’s like double the memories if that makes sense. Don’t worry when the time is right you can get those albums done just concentrate on making memories and taking pictures ❤❤❤ also don’t forget that you are documenting moments/memories with your videos which is amazing.

Game changer for sure 😍

    ❤❤❤, Homemade Potato Soup..It was winter staple when I was on the farm..( grew our 🥔s)..So they had to be made into something Delicious. ...
    Ok Babies, Kim I was 23 when my oldest was born,( Aug. 1983)
    turned 24 that October..Divorced,( 7rs later) ,(remarried
    in 1987..)
    What was I thinking..😖🤔. In 1990
    my daughter was born..
    Iwas like great I
    got one each.( 30 when she was born,)Quitting..
    NOPE, I just had this DESIRE, (like unfinished business)..I wasn't through..Nope, that feeling is indescribable..
    Divorced..Again..🤷‍♀️😥.
    9 years( later here comes my big boy 9lbs..
    ( 1999) Then my finale, Alittle girl 2001, at 42..
    I had Separation of the Placenta..(Walking on eggshells here..)
    I did wonder if it was my age, my job( CDLS) DumpTruck..NO ....
    It " just happens, a fluke of nature" the Doc said ..So much had happened through the years..( Another story
    in its own) let's just say I was more or less a single mom, even when
    " They were there"..
    Sturdy stock I am..😂😂
    I was ready to say
    " ENOUGH" Than we found out my ( last) late husband had lung cancer ( small
    cell) the kind that it's at its final stage before you know you have. What u say, yep..The cancer cell are invisible until they grow and cluster.(large enough to see)... We lost him 18
    Months after her birth..Our son was 3..
    So all saying, that was in Feb 2003..I've been SOLOING ever since...
    Raised my last 3 as a full time single mom..My oldest was 18 when she was born and getting ready to go into Marine bootcamp...SEMPER FI...So iam 63 now and as some moms can say,
    " Your body will let you know when enough is enough "..Truthfully,
    if I had a " Good Man at the beginning, my babies( me thinking here
    3 yrs apart)..and maybe few more added in..( Well that would be open to a discussion ) 🤔🤷‍♀️...
    Our feelings do get
    " BABY FEVER", But our bodies do get worn down..No new mom parts at TARGET NOR COSTCOS..Not even AMAZON.😬.😂😂
    Wolfgang is growing by leaps n bounds, he is so
    handsome. ..That's the part I miss the most..No
    Oh no, not the waking every few hours, but the cuteness and smiles. .
    Like OH MY GOODNESS, WE MADE HIM/ HER.👶👶.❤❤❤..We need be
    Thankful for all we have and just do the best we can and watch them grow from lil people to adults..Now that's life..

    Hey Pretty Lady!! I know I'm late on commenting, so hopefully you see this! Anyways, typically women's jeans are in even numbers, such as 2, 4, 6, 8, 10 etc, junior sizes are odd numbers such as 3, 9, 11, 13, 15, etc, and men's are measured in numbers like you mentioned those jeans you tried on are such as 27, 28, 31, 32, 33, etc. Sometimes women's jeans will be measured the same way as Men's, but I've found that's pretty uncommon. I think those jeans were originally designed to be a men's pair of jeans. I'm not saying women can't wear them, but I do think in addition to them being the wrong size to begin with that plays a major reason why they were so big & baggie. I'm a nurse & over the years I've gotten pretty good at weighing & sizing people who aren't able to tell me on their own due to being unconscious, they have severe tongue/mouth trauma, etc. All that to say, I'm not an expert at all, but if I had to guess you'd be a women's size 6, 8, or 10, (I do think a size 8 or 10 would be spot on for your size though!) a junior's size 7, 9, or 11, (I think a size 9 would be your absolute best bet!) and last but not least, I think you'd be a men's size 28 or 29.

Also had three extended family boys live with me throughout their school years. They are all grown up and out of the house. Empty nest took a bit to get used to…. I volunteered, joined, did everything ….. over did everything. I didn’t know how to slow down or say “no”….. finally got it together…. Love watching RUclips, doing art, socializing with “girl friends”….. that’s the one thing I didn’t know how much I missed. Life is good. ❤
