    Hi Kim, I hope you see this comment! I and a Christian stay at home mom of four. My husband and I are finding out way back to church. I would love to see another Saturday/Sunday routine. Those videos give me motivation to figure out the best way for us to have a good weekend.

    Kim, you always bring a smile. I love your thoughts on hospitality. When you brought in a whole basket of eggs, I had to laugh at the memory of an earlier video when you were 'impatiently' waiting for that first egg. You considered putting a movie on for them, singing, even serving them Dr Pepper. And now you have dozens of eggs!
    I saw that sweet hug you and Daryl snuck in there and it warmed my heart. I'm an older mother and now a Nana and I love seeing young love!
    I love your content, your sense of humor and just your sweet self.
    Dont change a thing.

    Years ago when my late husband and I used to have company over for a meal we had some for sure meals that we would always go to. And it depended what time of year that it was. If it was spring and summer, we would make burgers ahead of time to put on the grill and I would make potato salad the day before and also serve our favorite store bought bake beans. Desserts for that time of year were easy with vanilla ice cream and multiple toppings. If it was fall and winter we would make a big batch of soup the day before and serve it with sliced cheeses and rolls and crackers. Winter desserts were some kind of pie that I baked the day before or a cake baked the day before. Meals were some kind of crockpot meal, premade lasagna that I made the day before and all it needed to do was put in the oven to bake. Both would be served with garlic bread, rolls or some regular bread. And we served a vegetable or salad. Then on the day they were coming all I had to do would be to make sure the bathrooms were clean, fresh towels out, vacuum, sweep and we were ready. I also would delegate jobs to different family members and so together we had our place and meal ready. We always kept it simple and I like it that you do as well. For entertainment we would play board games if we knew they liked them, or showed slides or just talked.

    @ellenmartin1225 7 месяцев назад +1

    I GUARANTEE a lot of parents don't feed their children veggies with most meals, so I think you could feed your children the roast and carrots and green beans every meal and I wouldn't find that strange! (In fact, I remember going over to a friend's house as a child of about 10 and asking for more green beans during dinner. That family found that extremely surprising because their children didn't enjoy veggies.) By the way, I find cooked carrots to be an underrated veggie side. I think I enjoy them as much as your boys!

    What are the syrups for?
    It actually looks fancy to me and I host a LOT lol
    I always have people bring something. So I make the pizza and the guest bring salad or dessert. Etc.
    I also think your house DOES look perfect lol which to me is not a bad thing. I think it depends on personality. I love a clean, neat house when people come over with candles lit and music playing. It's not that I am a perfectionist it's just that it brings joy to me. I remember a few years back when my older boys were little there was this whole movement "invite people in your mess!" With stay at home moms. I always thought something was wrong with me for not enjoying that. Until God said to me "there is nothing wrong with enjoying a clean house and having it picked up and nice!" From then on I just did my thing. And I did tell other moms that commented on my house that God makes all of us different. There is freedom in that. I can enjoy being invited into a messy house and I can also appreciate a house that's clean and serves beautiful food like yours. Both are equally wonderful! You are wonderful and a fantastic host ❤

    You have lilacs already? Did you know if you pour your fizzy drinks right down the side of your glass you won’t lose the fizzy. I use to serve sodas and learnt that. Your cheesecake is so pretty. I don’t understand though. You strain a lot of seeds out then put the berries on the cheesecake. Just curious/ I would be one of those who wouldn’t be able to eat it because of the seeds. You’d better like her…..she’s your sister. Lol I’m so jealous but not in an ugly way that you already have lilacs in bloom. Your house will smell heavenly. My favorite scent. I agree with you on the mixture of Dr Pepper and beef sticks. I think children will eat most any new item lol especially if it came in the mail. Kim, what did you do to your hand? Did you fall? Oh I’m glad you put cheese on your Alfredo pizza. So many places don’t. Your pizzas look great. I Completly understand about your friends. Thank you for the video.
