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.
Well said Kim on hospitality and entertaining. It is about the people and sharing your home. The cheesecake was beautiful. Have a blessed evening. Always love your channel.
I love your tips! I also struggle with wanting everything to be perfect, but I have recently felt convicted to work on that. Hosting another family tonight with some salmon, scalloped potatoes, green salad from the garden and a raspberry cheesecake! So this is perfect timing. Thank you so much and God bless!
Wow! You are an amazing cook, friend, mother, and wife ❤ You really hit home for me, I do tend to pay more attention to having a clean house then the gest. Would love to get better about that. Thanks for the ideas! Wow, roast for lunch is alot better then chicken nuggets or something 😍
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!
You do such a great job with your videos. I’m going to try and make my own pizza. Maybe even the cheesecake. I’m so glad you’re back posting on a regular basis ❤
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.
That was a fun video Kim. The pizzas look delicious, but that cheesecake looks incredible. I love your thoughts on hospitality versus entertaining. Entertaining is so exhausting for me, but hospitality sounds more enjoyable. That's a lot of bananas on your counter. 😊
The pizza looks amazing! I agree that not everything goes with Dr. Pepper. Glad your son enjoyed the jerky. 😊 I loved the lunch you fed the boys. You are blessed to have children that eat so well. My granddaughter only wants to eat McDonalds. Now I’m going to have to make a roast soon.
❤ Kim, thank you for sharing this video with us as always. It’s a great video. You’re always so kind and humble cheesecake looks good all your pizzas. Everything was yummy. You have the most adorable children and so well-behaved. Have a great weekend and I’ll see you next week God bless
You are absolutely hilarious... Okay, what in the world happened to your hand? Look sore. Also, thanks for sharing your sister's products. Can't wait to place my order.
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 ❤
Well let me tell you, you influenced me 😅 I did't know of the dr Pepper drink until I watched you. So when this Dutch mom did her groceries here in the Netherlands I all of a sudden saw.... a dr Pepper can!!! And I love it. So every time when I open a can I have to think about you and tell my children about this lovely American mennonite mom influencing me😂❤
I weally like you. Pretty wise for your yrs but its all true. And keep the meal simple but go all out on the dessert. You are talented, my mouth is watering. I have 3 kids and we're pretty close in age.
Even if all your kids eat is roast, it is better than eating the highly processed stuff like chicken nuggets, Mac and cheese, and hot dogs some kids eat every single day.
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.
Sorry, I should have clarified in the video. All of my cleaning cloths are that color, I had taken the dirty cloth to the laundry room, and got a clean one to do the sink. In the video it appears like it was the same one!!🤢🤮 so sorry to confused everyone.
your channel is like a breath of fresh air in the youtube world!
Aw thank you so much! I'm so glad you enjoy it!
How great it is to see you posting so much!!!!

It doesn't seem like it was that long ago! I sure do enjoy my steady egg production!
Love this! Thank you for sharing!

Wow! You are an amazing cook, friend, mother, and wife ❤

Love this one!! Everything looks amazing, and I may secretly wish I was the friend coming over 😋
I wish I could invite all my RUclips friends!!

We try to incorporate lots of veggies. Sometimes it's a win, other times it's a lose😂
The pizzas look delicious! The lilac bush is beautiful. The boys are so cute!!! Thank you for sharing your home life and family!
I'm so glad you enjoyed it!
Kim, your homemade pizza looked so delicious.
And those lilacs so beautiful ❤I love them smell of them!
Thank you so much 🤗
You do such a great job with your videos. I’m going to try and make my own pizza. Maybe even the cheesecake. I’m so glad you’re back posting on a regular basis ❤
I am so glad you are enjoying them, I hope your pizza turns out yummy!

Hey Kim! Just made your bbq chicken pizza, top to bottom crust and all. It is so so good! Thank you for sharing it 😊
Glad you liked it!!
The book "Gather and Give: Sharing God’s Heart Through Everyday Hospitality" by Amy Hannon is all about this concept and is so good
Love your videos! This was another great one!!❤❤
I'm so glad you liked it!
Loving all the videos, Kim!!
Such great advice!
Excellent video as always. Dr Pepper. ...no ice ! ❤
NO ICE. The real ones know you drink dr pepper neat 😂
You are wonderful!❤
Love your channel, just wandering what you put on the crust edge of your pizzas...looks so good!
You are absolutely hilarious... Okay, what in the world happened to your hand? Look sore. Also, thanks for sharing your sister's products. Can't wait to place my order.

Great Meal Kim❤❤

Your pizza and cheesecake look delicious! 🌻
They sure were!
Hi kim, great video🥰 did you pre-bake the pizza crust?
Even if all your kids eat is roast, it is better than eating the highly processed stuff like chicken nuggets, Mac and cheese, and hot dogs some kids eat every single day.
Thanks for the video!! And Dr Pepper beef jerky sounds so bad 😅😭🤣
Some flavors are best not mixed!
💝💝💝
Love watching your videos. Watching from Manitoba Canada
Aw! Thank you!
5:05 Another video of an influencer making a pretty coffee.... pulls out a can of Dr. Pepper. 😂 made me laugh out loud! Enjoyed your video ❤
Thats a lot of bananas 🍌 😂
Do you let the dough rise before shaping it?
The new craze online is Dr. Pepper + dill pickles added into the drink... would enjoy your thoughts on this? lol
👀

What temperature do you cook your pizza on your stone
Wait did you just clean the commode and then clean you sink countertop with the same towel? 😮
Sorry, I should have clarified in the video. All of my cleaning cloths are that color, I had taken the dirty cloth to the laundry room, and got a clean one to do the sink. In the video it appears like it was the same one!!🤢🤮 so sorry to confused everyone.
❤ Thanks for clarifying. We'll all sleep better now. 😂
@@Kim_Martin I was just asking. Sorry.
@@susannagiesey9657 no need for a smart ass reply. People see and people ask.
@joycegraves9894 no! So glad you commented! It wasn't received in the wrong way at all! 🥰
The Dr. Pepper content…😂🤣
My husband is the opposite with hosting. He has to have 65 different things on the menu that I have to make🤦🏻♀️😂😂😂
