  • Hey party people!! Thanks so much for hanging out with me while I share with you this new around the house happenings where I try to calm the chaos around me and get my life somewhat in order! Today I tackled my freezer it was in dire need of my attention. It was so gross I can't even. Then I went to my garage fridge and cleaned that heap of a mess up. Then I stocked our little fridge full of drinks for our guests set to arrive this weekend for the birthday party! And... Then... who knows what I did. haha I threw some dinner together a nice easy quick weeknight dinner idea for a busy mom of many!! Hope you enjoy hanging out with me! I always enjoy your company!
    Kim!

    Kim, I know you’re feeling sick and sore but you’re rocking it like always. I am so grateful for someone like you normalizing NORMAL household messes on RUclips. I prefer your cleaning and organizing videos because watching someone clean a clean house and organize perfectly just seems like a silly staged event. You even have time to make a great meal and themed desert for your kids who will carry those fond memories on with them. They will probably carry on the fun with their own families. ❤️ That’s a heartwarming thought.

      Thanks so much I appreciate it! It’s always a crap shoot when I post things. I get random comments all the time telling me all kinds of things how I’m doing it wrong or I’m so gross or doing the same thing over and over (home making content… yes I get it it’s repetitive, that’s life) or … fill in the blank. I’m glad you people can relate. I’m just over here doing my best ❤🎉 thanks for being a friend through it all!

    I made cranberry jalapeno jam, to put on green onion/chive cream cheese, to eat on crackers! The easy method I used was a leftover can of whole berry cranberry sauce, put into my blender, and add sliced jalapenos, (I accidently bought a jar when I wanted banana peppers). I blended them together and put the mixture in a heavy bottom pan. I also added some cranberry juice, to make sure I had the right amount. Add 1 cup of sugar, mixed with low sugar pectin, and bring to a boil, add remaining sugar, I add less then it calls for, by tasting the mixture, to see if it brought out the cranberry flavor. I added lemon juice, boiled for 2 minutes, and it was done. I put it into jars, and water-bath canned for 10 minutes. I absolutely loved it, so I did the same, but with canned pears and jalapenos. I made sure to put lemon juice in it, for the proper acidity. I'm not sure which one is better!!!
    New jam makers should start with frozen strawberries. I feel it's easier.

      Only momentarily, before I hear "mom" for the 500th time a second inevitably just throw it all in and keep it moving cause who cares. If my whites get dingy, I just throw them in the tub with a little bleach and botta Bing botta boom, like new. 😅 do you tho.

And my room is three rooms in one. Not great- of course we make it work but it’s not ideal.

    If you make jam, use the frozen fruits, like strawberries and blueberries. The jam is delicious, and tastes like you used fresh fruit! I get low sugar pectin, and use even less then it calls for. I do put lemon juice in it, to bring out the flavor and help preserve it.

    🧅🧅🧅Love all your videos!!! Thank you for sharing your life with us!!! A little tip to store your whole unpeeled oignons, it’s better to keep them in an open basket in the back of your pantry in the dark and cool temperature of your home, the fridge is not good for them!!! In the fridge they become soft and moldy quicker. They will be closer to you & leave you with more fridge space for other things 😊. Yes I know less exercise but I’m sure with your kids that you will get your exercise done anyways😅!!! Wishing you and your family health, love 💕, happiness and wealth always 🙋🏼‍♀️🇨🇦🧅🧅🧅

    we do the ground meat at Costco too, I highly recommend asking them for their 10-pound tubes, its usually $40-45.00 and we get a good stack of meat when we do that when we don't have Deer or Moose meat from my husband's hunting trips.

    Kim your one of the funniest people I’ve ever seen.. but your story about cleaning the freezer and saying “you should look at how clean my freezer is” left me cackling 🤣
