Your wrapping videos are my favorite to watch! I see so many comments saying “love your personality” and I so have to agree! You’re so easy to watch! I’m so guilty of going nuts too for Christmas. I do the bulk of my shopping late fall because I have two Christmas season babies too! It cuts down on the stress of last minute shopping! Blessings to you and your family!
I love how everytime you grab a present you're just like "I don't know what this is, what is this? i'm probably returning this. This was wayyyyy too much" xD
My 3 y.o. has the Kindle!!! Her Gma got it for her early!! Yay for mama catching a break!! she has all of the Nick jr, PBS Kids, and Sesame Street apps (all free) on them!! Thats a great gift!! AND ON SALE!! Double win!!
All These Things TV that is awesome!! I'm sure they'll know how to use it much better than I can!! Haha kids these days.. lol I looked back at the receipt my husband got them for $34 each! What a steal, right!
Nothing wrong with having a big Christmas. :) I LOVE your idea of getting them experience gifts! I will be stealing this idea! Good job on so many good deals!
Besides the pjs and expensive troll doll, I wouldn't even return that stuff. I would just keep them for last minute birthday gifts for your kids friends or something. I just hate dealing with returns LOL
This is so sweet! I'm sure your girls are going to be THRILLED. I know the toys these days are a bit different , but if it's what makes them happy, I say don't question it. Lol. But you and your husband are so sweet, these girls are going to be in their glory Christmas morning. Merry Christmas !
4 minutes in and I’m totally like “THIS IS SO ME!” 🤣 My son’s bday is 12/10 and I start shopping in July/August. By the time I pull everything out of the closet I’m like “What is this? Who bought all this????” But I love it so much. I’m so thankful we are able to give him such a wonderful Christmas and still donate and do for others too! Every one of these videos I watch I think, “dang I really overdid it compared to everyone else” so this is much more relatable 😛
Trust me you don't want to see my tower of gifts! Ugh gosh it happens every year. You did awesome! You crack me up! Like seriously! My gosh you are so funny!! I LOVE IT!! Keep the videos coming! You rock!
I somehow stumbled upon this video and holy cow I was hysterically laughing! You have the best personality! What state do you live in? Also: I start buying my kids stuff (3 year old girl, 1 year old boy) in August and am done by November (I go waaaaay overboard too). Anyway, I wrap it as I get it so pretty much...I’ve forgotten most of what they’ll be getting haha.
Our house is troll mania, also. We must have ALL of the trolls, says my five year old. I love your videos, you always have me cracking up. I think those kids of yours are going to be very happy. :)
Our kiddos have 4 little poppy trolls... because they were bombarded with troll figures at their birthday, and they opened them before I could snatch them away! haha :)Thanks so much for watching, Hope your 5 year old gets all of the trolls ;-)
OMG you look amazing! btw, you are an amazing momma! you don't have to explain why you got your children the amount that you did. My mother didn't have much money and we didnt get anything all year, but on christmas she always went all out! We turned out just fine and are not spoiled one bit lol
Glad to hear it Angie! That's very sweet of you to say! My parents always went all out on Christmas, and as much as I want to be minimalist every year I buy more than I expect to! lol Merry christmas to you! :)
I think as parents we like to buy the kids gifts more for us lol My hubby had to stop me because after I filmed my haul I went out and bought more things lol. I don't think you went overboard at all. Happy Holidays!
Uh I still think I went overboard haha my kids, however, will not think so! lol... Good news is we have cleared out most of their toys and donated them to make room! lol
please ask hubby where he got the popcorn tins. my daughter is obsessed with trolls stuff right now. she's 14 so a little too old for the toysy stuff, but no one is too old for popcorn lol 😊 and boy you weren't kidding when you said you went way overboard on gifts lol. I too can have a tendency to get too much, because I love giving gifts, so I try not to buy gifts too early. otherwise I will forget what I have and buy too much lol. but maybe you could donate one or two items to a needy child instead of returning. I usually try to pick a child from our giving tree. it always feels nice whenever I'm financially able to help someone else. you mentioned possibly making your baby boy a stocking. I'm just curious how you would be creating it. I'm actually in process of working on a stocking for my daughter. its going to take a while though because it's cross stitch, but I'm hoping to have it done for next year.
He got them from Best Buy - of all places! hah! We always go through their toys and donate gently used old toys, we also do toys for tots etc. It's the season of giving after all! We like to teach our kids that it's more about giving than receiving for sure - but they sure do receive a lot! :) I wish I could cross stitch to make a proper stocking! I will probably just buy a stocking!! lol :) Take the lazy way out! Goodluck on yours!
First congrAts on the beautiful baby boy, glad to see everyone healthy and doing well! We are now out of the toy stage our daughter is 11, and I miss buying toys like this lol! Love your videos and my husband is the exact same with our daughter he just thinks she needs everything she watches on tv or see's in a store haha!! Hope you have a merry Christmas with your beautiful family!!
Your husband sounds just like my dad was with my sister and I when we were that age.All we had to do was bat our eyes and we got whatever we wanted. I'm pretty sure my mom hated it hahahaha
Lol... I did the same thing. I hope our toys are " even" for my girls 8 and 5... They love all the small crap. My oldest wanted American girl stuff and my 5 yr old wanted all the commercial crap like Beados and num noms and hatchimal and live pets.
We got the Kindle fire tablets for mine too because they fight over my tablet. That was $29 each... Better deal then the over priced crap toys the little one wanted anyhow.
You seemed mellow in this video, Kim. Was baby Wentworth sleeping nearby, or did you just get more comfortable in front of the camera after this? I'm so not used to this calmer Kim. 😅
I watched the one you made last year this week! I'm glad I'm not alone in understanding the toys now days. I literally Googled my step daughter's list because I didn't think it was real words much less toys. Maybe do a stocking so sisters don't think Santa forgot baby brother.
I love that your husband is just as guilty as you. My husband does exactly zero percent of the holiday shopping.😂😂 I order online as well and we still ended up with too much crap lol.
I'm sure she would want me to keep it as well lol... she has a birthday coming up- we may keep it around for that, still haven't returned the stuff yet!! lol Need to go to the store to do that but I want to avoid crowds! lol
OMG, you really went crazy. My kids get like each 3 presents. I feel a bit bad now für MY kids. All that little figurines whould drive me crazy when laying around in the kids rooms. But I really don't want to annoy you with this comment. I'm sure the girls will love everything.
Teaching your kids moderation and an appreciation for whatever they recieve, regardless of how many gifts, is a valueable lesson that every parent should teach their children. Every year I got one big gift, a few books, a few artistic gifts, and a stocking, I'm 36, and even now, I expect very little, and am happy and grateful for whatever I recieve. Good job mom!!!!!!!
santa brings all of our kids presents but you never know how other families do it. You remind me so much of myself the way you talk lol! I will never understand the tsum tsums, shopkins, num nums and everything else. I know santa is going to drive me crazy with all these new toys as well. If only he could send a maid along to clean everything up everyday as well : )
It so funny cause I forgot some gifts that I got my daughter and wrapped and then on christmas when she opened them I was like omg thats right I did get that... I love the troll house that is so adorable... you are going to have a troll themed house for all the troll stuff you got lol... my daughters cousin loves peppa pig that is definitely a popular toy that is popular this year .... if you like watching what I got for christmas I did a video of the gifts my daughter got for christmas check out ruclips.net/video/_YsF5r_VlT4/видео.html
Truly this is a little nauseating. Teach your children modearation, not greed. Teach them to be giving, donate like half of that, wrap the gifts, and have the kids bring them to a childrens shelter where those kids are likely getting nothing or very little for Christmas. Mark my words, they will remember that experience more than any single item in that mountain of gift insantiy. I'm 36, and I only ever recieved 1 nice gift, a few books, a few artistic gifts, and maybe some clothing I needed. I barely recall anything I recieved in terms of Gifts, but one year our family "adopted" a family who had lost everything in a fire. we wrapped them together, made cookies, and delivered them. It was the happiest memory I can recall. Yea.. Good luck!
Sarah Marie thanks, we do teach our kids to give. We donate their toys before every season and we also donate new toys to toys for tots etc. we do random acts of kindness and bake things for our neighbors. Just because I buy my kids gifts for Christmas-- and may go a little overboard-- does not mean that my kids don't appreciate the gifts, or that my kids don't understand the meaning of giving/kindness/generosity etc.
THE WADS very well said!!!! You don't have to justify why you bought what you did or how much you spent. I loved all of the stuff. My stepdaughter got a lot too and we can spoil her more since, she is an only child for right now. 😀
Your wrapping videos are my favorite to watch! I see so many comments saying “love your personality” and I so have to agree! You’re so easy to watch! I’m so guilty of going nuts too for Christmas.

I love how everytime you grab a present you're just like "I don't know what this is, what is this? i'm probably returning this. This was wayyyyy too much" xD
Hahaaa Yes, I still have those feelings.. return it allll! My kids need nothing! lol
Okay now I don't feel bad about everything I got my kids☺️ and congrats on baby boy!
Adrianna Mogannam thanks so much!!
I think your gifts are perfect!

Glad I can keep it entertaining! :) Thanks so much for watching :)
I love your comments about everything! Had me cracking up the whole video. 😂

Nothing wrong with having a big Christmas. :) I LOVE your idea of getting them experience gifts! I will be stealing this idea! Good job on so many good deals!
Thanks so much! We always had a big Christmas, I try to tone it down... but it's in my blood. haha
i love your personality!!
Shyan Marie that's so nice of you to say! Thank you so much! 😁
Love the flowered sofa
Besides the pjs and expensive troll doll, I wouldn't even return that stuff. I would just keep them for last minute birthday gifts for your kids friends or something. I just hate dealing with returns LOL
Birthday gifts, uh that's a good idea!
This is so sweet! I'm sure your girls are going to be THRILLED. I know the toys these days are a bit different , but if it's what makes them happy, I say don't question it. Lol. But you and your husband are so sweet, these girls are going to be in their glory Christmas morning. Merry Christmas !
Bethany Miranda thanks so much Bethany! I hope you had a great Christmas!! :)

Glad to hear they like their fires! my kids are (thankfully) still talking about the lipgloss truck! lol they better love that truck hahaa

For the Kindle; buy a case for them; it will save them.
greenfrogger yes! Thank you! That was definitely something we overlooked! We bought some yesterday morning!
My daughter is obsessed with the trolls too!
Uh... Here too! lol... and now Moana- all of the songs... !! haha
OMG you look amazing!
btw, you are an amazing momma! you don't have to explain why you got your children the amount that you did. My mother didn't have much money and we didnt get anything all year, but on christmas she always went all out! We turned out just fine and are not spoiled one bit lol
Glad to hear it Angie! That's very sweet of you to say! My parents always went all out on Christmas, and as much as I want to be minimalist every year I buy more than I expect to! lol Merry christmas to you! :)

Those Fires are great for kids we have 3. They are like less than $50 so a great price!
Yeah!! Super great price! What a steal! I looked at the reciept and my husband spent $35 on each!
Yeah! My husband saw that deal and asked if I wanted another one. I was like, "why?"
Awww such cute things!! They should def enjoy 😂🎄 merry Christmas and congrats on the baby
Thanks so much Liv! I think they're enjoying picking out presents for family members the most right now! :)
So many cute things! I had an injured knee for over a month, I'm now on first name terms with the Amazon delivery guy lol
bahah!! Yes! My post guy must hate me.. I feel like we have been getting a package a day! lol Hope your knee heals well, and quickly!
Your husband sounds just like my dad was with my sister and I when we were that age.All we had to do was bat our eyes and we got whatever we wanted. I'm pretty sure my mom hated it hahahaha
haaaha!!! They are true daddies little girls for sure! They've got him wrapped around their little finger! Glad he's not alone in that! :)
An amazon fire is an iPad sort of mixed with a kindle
I'm so excited for your kids!!
So am I! The little scoundrels...
We must be neighbors because my family has busch gardens passes as well. We live in St. Petersburg!!
Oooh yes!! We are neighbors! I live in Tampa! :)
I love your blog..you have a really great personality
Lol... I did the same thing. I hope our toys are " even" for my girls 8 and 5... They love all the small crap. My oldest wanted American girl stuff and my 5 yr old wanted all the commercial crap like Beados and num noms and hatchimal and live pets.
Same thing as in ordering stuff and stashing the boxes and not remembering everything... And getting my self a few things.
We got the Kindle fire tablets for mine too because they fight over my tablet. That was $29 each... Better deal then the over priced crap toys the little one wanted anyhow.
Can you make a wrapping video?
Makeup Unicorn yeah! I totally did it will be up tomorrow morning! :) :)
Oh yes!!!!I love it:)
11:37 to 11:41 I was laughing hysterically....!!!!!!!!!! Why?? I have no clue!
You seemed mellow in this video, Kim. Was baby Wentworth sleeping nearby, or did you just get more comfortable in front of the camera after this? I'm so not used to this calmer Kim. 😅
haha Wentworth was sleeping in a swing and I think he was like two weeks old! I was in the newborn baby sleep deprived haze!
They got so much cute stuff i love it lol
Lifewith Mel they are two very lucky scoundrels.. lol 🎄😁🎉
THE WADS lol

katy lea that's so nice of you to say!
Congrats on your baby boy!
the zsum zsums are actually pronounced like soom sooms! such cute presents merry christmas!!
Molly Melloan * tsum tsums
musicals of bratayley that's what i meant lol i was talking about the pronunciation
Molly Melloan ☺ yeah p.s thars how pronounce them 2
Sweetie, pronunciation is how you say words not how you spell them necessarily.
My son is addicted to Zum Zums. They are super annoying but they make them happy :)
Samantha Peterson * tsum tsums
Samantha Peterson hahaaaa yes. Super annoying
I watched the one you made last year this week! I'm glad I'm not alone in understanding the toys now days. I literally Googled my step daughter's list because I didn't think it was real words much less toys. Maybe do a stocking so sisters don't think Santa forgot baby brother.
Cassandra Mitchell hahaa yes all of these dumb toys lol and santa brought Wentworth some things :)
We got the number noms truck on black Friday for $15
You got a steal!!! I got it on sale but I can't remember the price, and surely it was more than $15! That's awesome!
this is what my christmases always looked like as a kid lol. i was only child until age 10 so i got wayyy too much stuff lol
I love that your husband is just as guilty as you. My husband does exactly zero percent of the holiday shopping.😂😂 I order online as well and we still ended up with too much crap lol.
lol Online shopping is THE BEST!!
THE WADS I agree! we have three kids under four so it's a must here lol.
when inwas younger i would get 2 big pressent under the tree and stockings
This year we are definitely toning down! :)
THE WADS its nice when you have big hauls cause that way we get a long video 😂 😂
I just want to let you know( i'm not trying to be rude at all!) that tsum tsum is pronounced(soom soom. I love your channel so much!

OMG, you really went crazy. My kids get like each 3 presents.
I feel a bit bad now für MY kids.
All that little figurines whould drive me crazy when laying around in the kids rooms.
But I really don't want to annoy you with this comment.
I'm sure the girls will love everything.
Teaching your kids moderation and an appreciation for whatever they recieve, regardless of how many gifts, is a valueable lesson that every parent should teach their children. Every year I got one big gift, a few books, a few artistic gifts, and a stocking, I'm 36, and even now, I expect very little, and am happy and grateful for whatever I recieve. Good job mom!!!!!!!
if santa is bringing anything for your kids you might want to get the baby 1 or 2 things in case they ask why santa didn't bring him anything
Of course Santa will bring the kids stuff... ;-) :)
santa brings all of our kids presents but you never know how other families do it. You remind me so much of myself the way you talk lol! I will never understand the tsum tsums, shopkins, num nums and everything else. I know santa is going to drive me crazy with all these new toys as well. If only he could send a maid along to clean everything up everyday as well : )
i love u and plz do a wrapping gifts video
Fashiondisneynerdtoycollector thanks so much!!! Yes I made a wrapping video too yay! It will be up tomorrow morning! 🎄😁🎉

I am not, but I have family in PA! (Harrisburg area) Are you in PA?
Im new here. What are you children's names?
Hey!! Good to have you around! Avalina, Eleanor, and Wentworth. :)

that num noms lipgloss truck is HUGE mess and no refills
Mercedez Mann uhhhh you are so right! I didn't even know there was sticky stuff inside! Gross lol glad they ran through it quickly!

Truly this is a little nauseating. Teach your children modearation, not greed. Teach them to be giving, donate like half of that, wrap the gifts, and have the kids bring them to a childrens shelter where those kids are likely getting nothing or very little for Christmas.

Sarah Marie thanks, we do teach our kids to give. We donate their toys before every season and we also donate new toys to toys for tots etc. we do random acts of kindness and bake things for our neighbors.

THE WADS very well said!!!! You don't have to justify why you bought what you did or how much you spent. I loved all of the stuff. My stepdaughter got a lot too and we can spoil her more since, she is an only child for right now. 😀
