Kim! I teared up when you sang "keep on, keep on singing and dancing all through the night, (and then cry a little bit)"---so relatable! Man, we just need to all keep giving each other permission to be human, thank you for this!
I never thought this would ever happen with me but I find myself changing the ingredients and being a lot more lay back and casual with my cooking and I enjoy it more now. Love from Australia
I tell my daughter all the time my friend Kim says it’s your kitchen you do what you want you don’t have to follow the recipe. 😊
@@Sheli-_- haha right 😆 why is she so stinkin cute!
Me too! 💕 Thank you for the freedom Kim!
me too!!! it takes some of the pressure off and makes the whole process seem much less serious and more fun. thanks kim 💙
I know.. I wish I would have incorporated this freedom in my earlier cooking days, it would have saved my bitterness towards cooking all. the. time!! Lol
Sweet Kim! SOMEONE MAKE THIS MAMA BREAKFAST! Thank you for always keeping it real. So many times I find myself upset and crying because I don't think I am doing enough. Us mom's do MORE than enough for others and less for ourselves. Put that mascara on if it makes you feel good. YOU matter too!! Thank you for another great time hanging out together. Big hugs to you!
I love how you keep it real…no makeup, spit up on your clothes, etc. That’s what I remember about having newborns and I wouldn’t have traded it for anything!!
Christmas Vacation is a family tradition to watch with our kids every year. Even though they are grown and don’t live with us anymore we still take time to watch it together ❤️❤️
I seriously applaud you. My days go like this 90 percent of the time. After 12 inconveniences I'm a mess and crying my eyes out or screaming like a mad woman.
You are awesome mama, you are doing a fantastic job. You are loved, and so appreciated!
I have so much admiration for you to work so much on CZcams and surviving this postpartum life (at least my first 8 weeks with my munchkin were surviving). It’s incredible what you do and how much you do with so much energy! 🏆
same wow!!!
Right!!! She never stops... She needs to bottle that energy and sell it!!! I was hard pressed to go check the mail today... lol 😆 🤣... And dinner I'm like can we just have cearle??? lol 😆 🤣 She is one go getter...
Oh sweet Kim, watching this brought me right back to those newborn days. It's crazy how you forget how exhausting, emotional, and just grasping for sanity postpartum can be. Everything is going to get better and you are helping so many new mommas realize that everything they are going through is normal and ok. My heart to you, Kim. You are amazing and important ❤️
I needed to hear that about how taking care of the baby is the most important part. Watching while nursing my almost 2 month old. I love hearing the truth from you. Motherhood is hard, but the most fulfilling job. What could be more important? You are awesome friend.
"I'm hungry, so let me meal plan for the entire week," said no one ever but Kim.
My life is being held together by one Bobbi pin too Kim. I am also convinced Buffalo chicken dip is the cure all. It’s a meal, a snack, a five minute craft? It’s hot, and ready, and always there for me.
Post partum is a season like no other.... there's so so much grace for the process and the crazy of it all. I can't imagine birthday season and the holidays in addition but I just want you to know that we are rooting for you and love the mother that you are 💜
You always bring a smile to my day. Last year at this time my sister was diagnosed with a inoperable brain tumor and never left the hospital, we lost her early January and believe it or not it was a very special Christmas. My siblings flew in and her kids and spent Christmas away from their families to sit by her bedside. We probably drove the nurses crazy and had a party in her room everyday and decorated her roomike crazy. We laughed shared alot. This year I decorated with many of the beautiful Christmas decorations she has bought me over the years as she knew how much I love Christmas. This year all that happened then is hitting me now. I decorated, I undecorated and decorated again. That smile was much needed and your keep on keep on song. Going to sing that to myself and Keep on keep on moving forward, because I have my beautiful family right her in front of my face, and take the lessons last year taught me during those 60 days. Thank You for your infectious smile, and being able to keep on, keep on❤️🩹
❤❤❤
My fourth and last baby was my most needy one too. Someone needs to give these last babies the memo that they have a lot of siblings and they can't have all the constant attention! 🤣 But really what a blessing!! You're doing great Kim! ❤
Wake, hydrate and tune in! Kim has it all. Call the Food Network. The Brady Bunch came by with William Shatner, Aretha and Rihanna. Slo-mo juicing is back as well as brownie Friday, Friday Friday. All without internet "just like the Amish". This 44 minutes was brought to you by the Wads a Put a Little Happy in Your Day production. Be blessed Wads family and friends. You are loved! xoxo
And you are so loved by all the Party Peeps my friend from afar 🥰
Love this!!
We love you and appreciate you, Aimee.
@@brilliantbutblue You as well have been a blessing to me and so many dear friend!💞
You too are hilarious😍
Anyone else seriously miss 411 degrees? I'm so glad for you Kim, that you have a lovely kitchen to cook in now...but I have to admit I miss your old kitchen😊
You are a doll but you need some color! Either some darker foundation or color on the cheeks.
Have you talked to your baby’s doctor? I think maybe he is not satisfied. Maybe formula as part of his diet would fill him up.
@@sondracumberland912 😂
I can totally relate to the energy of this video 😂❤ This has been my experience with motherhood. Take a break if you need it, but you amaze me with your motivation even though you’re tired and things aren’t going to plan ❤
Kim you are so so fun to watch because you reflect real life and don’t take anything too seriously, you roll with the punches like the rest of us do. Thank you so much and hope you found your Bobby pins😂
Kim, "most" of us here are mom's, so we understand. Love everything that you've made here. Hang in there momma, your doing a great job ❤️
Kim, I hope you aren’t feeling pressured by CZcams or other social media to get certain things accomplished. You don’t have to get everything done, and you don’t have to be perfect right now. I just know in the past for me it felt so much better once I set aside my own expectations and just go with the flow, doing my best is good enough. Also, I’m pretty sure you’ve taught us that a time or two 😉 don’t discount your own advice. ❤ you are amazing!
Yes
Love the time that the newborn takes!
The toddler phase is right around the corner. There are plenty of things that don't need to be done....right??
Thank you for the encouragement! I only have 3 littles with a baby and most days I get discouraged with how much I didn’t get done. Definitely need to remember that taking care of them is more important than having my to do list complete.
Please do Pigs in a Blanket as an App for Merediths bday! You probably already have it in the menu 😂 🐷
I’m now craving the banana pancakes!!! 😁
It wasn’t but now it is!!! Haha thanks!!! 🐖
I was thinking that as soon as she said the theme
yes!!!
Yet again you have given me some dinner ideas. Thank you 😊! As a mom of 3 grown kids (25, 23, 20) I am here to tell you to cherish every single moment with all of your babies. Time will go by so fast! My daughter (she’s 23) has watched your videos and you have inspired her and her friends to do brownie Friday’s. None of them really like to drink but they all love sugar LOL! So they have brownie & board games Friday’s. Just thought that info would make you feel good. You definitely put a little happy in all of our days! 😊
That’s the smartest decision ever… so glad you decided to decorate for Christmas before Thanksgiving!! Once that’s done, you’ll be able to enjoy your month of December even more than ever!!
Great video… I’ve got about 10 minutes left and just a bit of coffee ☕️ left. THANKS for putting some more happy in my day.
You are such a hard working loving selfless mom. Thanks for sharing your joy with us!
Gooooooood morning!!!! I have been up for 87 hours already, thanks to a teething 1 year old AND a geriatric dog. Been waiting for this to brighten my day. 💕 But I did get to see the lunar eclipse and took my vitamins. Gonna be a great day! 🤣 (Also must make brownies now!)
87hrs 🤪🤪 what's worse the teething baby or the Geriatric dog?
@@brilliantbutblue the dog, by far!!🤣
I had a guy from a Kitchen store told me that a company that produced them advised him never to put them in the dishwasher and NEVER use cleaning products on it, including dishwashing liquid. It actually strips the oils out of the pan and ruins them. All you do is wash with water and then use paper towel to dry. As soon as I use mine I rinse it under hot water, and get rid of the food remnants. Since I have been doing this, I have a non stick pan that is 10 years old and doesn’t haven’t any damage to it and it is still non stick.
Here is something you may like from Moss Family TV they made a farmhouse country breakfast . Fallon and Titus are very entertaining .You could adapt it to you.

I had a dream we were best friends and I was hanging at your house and the whole time you just kept singing “it’s the holiday season” and it was the best day of my life. Best time of the year with you 🤣
I'm glad I'm not the only one having friendship dreams lol!! I gotta find a new playlist to fall asleep to 🤣
I haven’t even watched but just the title of this video has me cracking up 😂 Kim, you are such a joy. Never stop being you
My favorite breakfast is Dave's killer bread (thin sliced) toasted with avocado, everything but the bagel seasoning (must!), sliced cucumbers, hard boiled egg and cherry tomatoes. DELICIOUS!! just an idea for ur hard boiled eggs.
Kim, you are a sight! I know you're so tired bless your heart. Wolfgang looks just like his daddy. Precious little boy.
Be blessed.
Kim you are simply amazing! That's it.. AH-MA-ZING!! I am always at a lost for words. Your positive energy, love, and can we talk about endurance cause half way thru my morning I would have been done!
Up early with my 9 month, Emma Jean . Perfect time to hangout with Kim! ❤
You're a rock star Kim. I really admire you and all you do!
You always manage to turn my day around Ms. Kim, thank you for sharing your life with us!💛🙌
Kim, I've never been blessed with my own children so I don't get it all, but I get a lot. I was a Nanny and have been a childcare teacher for 30ish years. You put things so well and I know moms need to hear what you are saying. You "have it all together" but you show us how you do live life. Life happens and the most important thing is the kids. You don't "spoil" them, you love them. Thank you for these videos. You are doing a great job with your kids and we appreciate you.
It is hard to believe you have been there a whole year already and little Miss Meredith is going to be another year older. Be still my heart. She has changed so much this year. I just re-watched your moving in video and her talking and everything. She is a little lady. It brought me to tears to see her so little.
Oh my gosh! I just started the video and LOVE seeing Wolfgang just hanging out on your hip. He is sooooo cute and growing so quickly!
Just a suggestion....for the egg cooker, you have to poke the hole in the fat end of the egg, not the small end....trust me, it makes a huge difference!
Daiya and Violife dairy free cream cheese are really good substitutes and would make a really good Buffalo chicken dip! Promise! I have been dairy free for years, but recently was able to add a little back into my diet. Honestly, I still think dairy free products taste good! For the ranch dressing I take 1 cup mayonaise and add a couple shakes of dill weed(1/2 tsp), onion powder(1/2 to 1 tsp), garlic powder(1/2 to 1 tsp.) and mix together. Leave as is for dip, but if you want to make it pourable, add a little water(like 2 tablespoons.) My kids actually prefer my "ranch dressing" to store bought that is full of dairy! I love watching your baby snuggles with Wolfgang. Even a little envious, I would love to have a little one to snuggle and wake up all night to. Love your videos!
Some houses try to hide the fact that children shelter there, ours boasts of it quite openly, the signs are everywhere. For smears are on the windows, little smudges on doors. I should apologize I guess for the toys thrown on the floor. But I got down with the children and we played and laughed and read. And if the doorbell doesn't shine their eyes will shine instead. And at times when I'm forced to choose one job or the other, I want to be a housewife but first I'll be a mother. Cleaning and scrubbing can wait till tomorrow, for babies grow up we've learned to our sorrow. So quiet down cobwebs, dust go to sleep. I'm rocking my baby and babies don't keep.
Girl those brownies looked so good my tooth is aching 😅 but seriously I’m very proud of you Kim you do so much for your family and friends and the the special little one who is warm and loved by you and seeing you with him gives me so much joy in my heart because I remember when I went through that five times and it’s no easy task just remember to take at least a few minutes for you to recharge thank you for sharing your life with us you are an inspiration to us all ❤
Heres a little tip...if you accidentally smudge your mascara, let it dry and than take a spooly on the end of the eyeliners or brow liner...and just scrape it off...it literally comes right off...no smearing...super easy...❤️
Just breathe my Friend♥️ Sending you love hugs and strength. From San Antonio Texas 🥰🥰
Kim! Have you ever tried making hard boiled eggs in the oven? It’s life changing! So easy! Just put the whole egg (Uncracked) in a muffin tin and bake at 350 for about 25 minutes. Drop them in an ice bath and they will be perfectly cooked! You can do as many as you want at one time. Great time saver!
You are such a joy to watch. So funny! So REAL!!! Cheers to the best days of your life. Crazy and all. Isn’t it great 🤣🥰🥰 100% worth it!!
I seriously think when the kids are grown and living their best lives you and Alex will be watching all these videos, reminiscing about how crazy the days were. You will relive motherhood with all the feels by rewatching yourself, how crazy that day was…. I wish I would have recorded more of the “real” moments. Pure joy!!
Thanks Kim! You just made me go searching for an electric griddle pan for pancakes, and I found one on Amazon for $25. Coincidentally my 19 yr. anniversary is coming up and my husband doesn't know what to get me, so this will be it. Easy enough.
You always influence me, and I'm inspired by you. This may sound like a sarcastic "thank you" but it is serious.
You are amazing!
My third son's nursery was our small walk-in closet! Worked like a charm. He is the sweetest man you could ever meet so not having a dedicated nursery simply isn't that big of a deal. You're doing great Kim. Remember to take care of yourself....someday that is. LOL
Not even half way through, and I already feel this in my soul of souls. That has been my life on repeat recently. Being a mom, a housemaker, a chef, a manager, a woman, a wife, postpartum, while still working .................... If that's not a superhero, I don't know what is!!!!!
"You cut my internet?! I'm sorry ....... do you not know who I AM?!?!" Frankly, I am appalled!!!!
Your patience is seriously admirable
My Dad before he died. We would make a beautiful layout. Of Eggs, toast, bacon, sausage, sometimes pancakes, hashbrowns. It was almost magical.
Thank you for keeping it real, Kim! Sending a great big mama hug to you from me. I love your content. ❤️
Kim I love u!!!! Postpartum is hard and you are crushing it even when u feel like you aren’t. You are awesome! Thank you for the content while you struggle lol
lol Kim you are literally my best friend in the journey of motherhood thank you for helping me tackle the nightly horrors of the dreaded thought of whaaaats for dinner??!! Every night!! Haha love you and ty ❤️
Hey, Kim! Your videos are the only ones I will watch more than once. You’re so real and it is so refreshing! Gotta love all the happy you put in our days, even when your day isn’t the best ever. You’re an amazing woman and we all love you! (Side note: I’ve been gluten and dairy free for over two years, so I understand making food just for you. It’s so important to feed yourself lovely things!)
Check out Black Friday for griddle sale. Love how you don’t want to get our hope up about construction
I commend all you do to bring us content with all the things going on with you. Definitely not easy with a new born. I hope through it all, you do your best to take care of yourself as much as you can. Motherhood is the hardest hood to navigate so thanks again for the hard work you put into your content. Everything you cooked looked amazing.
Good Morning Kim, love each and ever video. Your devoted attention to Wolfgang and all the kid's is amazing. The time when they are small goes so fast. Drink it up as you do and know
You are amazing and a light that brings love and joy into every day.💝🎍
Aw Kim!! My husband has a dairy allergy so I feel for you in the struggle to feed your family but having to make those special modifications as well. Also appreciate how transparent you have been about the struggles of parenthood/postpartum recovery. I’d totally come make you breakfast if I was close enough!! Hugs to you.
Kim you do so much already. I love watching your posts! You have the best personality.
Thank you Kim for all you give ❤️
Thanks Kim, for the Serotonin boost... Feel happy every time I see your content. 🤍✨
411 degrees! Bringing back the good old days 😌 ☺
Cranberry turkey meatballs!!! Going on my meal plan soon. Looks sooo good! I’m glad you meal prepped breakfasts, although I love a good brownie for breakfast, a bit of protein just makes things better. I hope your mama gets there soon, I have a feeling she’ll make you pancakes!
Utilize your backyard for family pics this year. Capturing this season of life which marks 1 year in this house and all that's transpired.
Last year, I worked for a company that made the cranberry jalapeno meatballs for Costco. I was the cook for the line. So glad I was able to cook for you.
Love watching you get things done!!! Your way!! You’re awesome!!
Oh my goodness! Kim, this video made me laugh 😃 thank you for being real about life. Keep being you. Monica in Cali.
You are so hard working but make sure you know you totally can take days for you! I love your videos but also want you to be happy and taken care of too! (Mama of 4 kiddos here!)
Oh my goodness, I ALMOST forgot just how all-consuming newborns are....& my son just would not sleep! Thanks for the content through all the chaos and sleepless nights Kim. You got this 😊
Thank you for inspiring me. You’re incredible Kim!
So having worked at the Barrel for 11 years I can tell you what’s dairy free for breakfast. French toast without a scoop of butter on top. Any meat. Fried apples. Eggs obviously… I think the grits are dairy free as well if you don’t add some yourself.
Anyway, those are my suggestions. But if you decide to go then just double check what I said lol. I’d also have them check the pancakes. Pretty sure they have buttermilk powder in them.
I’ll stop rambling sorry🤓
I'm also currently dairy free due to breastfeeding my 12 week old baby boy who had cmpa! As much as I would never wish it on you and wolfgang it's so nice to feel like I have a friend going through dairy free with me to give me delicious meal ideas! I also spend my whole day either feeding him or just holding him so you're not alone. Thanks for keeping me company via your videos especially for those late night feeds 😂 Love from the UK ♥️🇬🇧
So ready to see this video. I love getting my morning started with the Wads.
Hey sweet friend.
I just love you Kim! You definitely put happy in my day!! ❤️
Regarding the eggs: I think the trick to easy peeling is to pierce them. I use the instant pot but I pierce them and they peel so easily.
You put so much happy in my day.
If you want more tender meat balls, mix all the seasonings, eggs etc first and then add the raw meat last, GENTLY stirring to combine....the more ground beef is mashed the tougher the meatball or meatloaf will be💋
My friend Kim. I couldn't wait for a video tomorrow so I wanted to watch one now. We had our sons close and I felt this video so much. My son was glued to me and hardley slept. He turns 1 Nov 29th and he is walking 😢 and acts so big now. I relate to this video so much. But this is our last as well and it's so bitter sweet...❤
Kim, your so awesome! I think your little Wolfgang is sooo cute. You have me cracking up in the morning with your personality! I love it ☺ it's great to be able to spend my mornings with you
I feel you 🥺 Hopefully Wolfgang starts sleeping better. So enjoy Everything you do! 🥰
I laughed so hard during this today. The best moment was you splodging out the can of cranberry sauce into the pan and you said. Natural...I have too use oat milk or almond in alot of our recipes. I use oat milk with vinegar as a buttermilk sub for pancakes in this house. Do that next time! I don't have cable either. I miss the cooking shows too 😩
Best thing I have ever bought was a pancake maker, not a "dash" but it makes either 4 or 6 at a time. They are perfectly round and come out perfect every time!!! Lol. ❤❤❤
❤ love your videos, you help me hang in there when I am at the end of my rope. If Kim can do to then so can I! I definitely don’t feel so alone when I watch along with you.
I can't believe through all this and your hair looks THAT GOOD, I hope things go better soon!
Sweet potato has many vitamins potassium, C, D, B12, iron, magnesium, calcium, and some other things. Which is why they give it to you after having babies. Want something really good? Sweet potato pie! No pumpkin. What a delicious dessert. You’re doing a great job. See you next time! ❤🌻 Blessings
Wow. The pancakes and brownies look amazing! Going to try those this weekend! TFS ❤️ Wolfgang is adorable!
Good day Wad family. I truly look forward to seeing you all. God bless you all🙏
Okay, well one good thing about this time of year is that family outfits are available so you can all coordinate with no hassle!!! Check some children’s sites like Gymboree, Janie and Jack, even Carter’s has adult clothing to match the littles! It may not be the absolute most artistic way to dress for photos, but at the end of the day it will look nice and it’s easy!🤷♀️
Yes Kim...file that grievance! If we had a sleepover, I would wear my pajamas all day and make you breakfast girl! Also, my family can and does have full conversations using lines from Christmas Vacation. My brother had a themed Christmas party one year...I was Cousin Eddie! 😂 I love your scattered thoughts and incredible friendship. Be well dear friend 💕

I had my 3rd baby in August and Kim, the way you describe Wolfgang’s struggles with sleep sound EXACTLY like my baby! My first 2 were amazing sleepers, this one seems to just love to be awake! She takes the shortest cat naps during the day (5-20 min spurts), and I have tried it ALL to encourage sleep. The silver lining for me is that right before 2 months old she started sleeping through the night 🎉 but before then, those were dark days 😂 sending you lots of love and encouragement, I hope little man settles in soon 🧡
I love love veggie omelettes and egg casseroles baked with either stuffing or bisquits ! Soo good
Your video titles are honestly THE BEST! 😅And of course your videos too! Hugs and love from Canada ❄
Just seeing the word FOOOD!! made me happy then seeing it’s the WADS made me happier 🌟🌟
Love your videos! You should talk to your pediatrician about evaluating baby for acid reflux. One of my 6 babies had it and they can be miserable. They throw up often, don’t sleep well, want to be on boob for comfort all day. Their poor little throat burn from the acid. I would definitely talk to the doc about it. Thanks for the fun videos 😊
Hey kim- just replace each egg for 1 banana in ANY pancake recipe. It's the only way I make Pancakes now. Chocolate chips go great too!
Kim you are doing so much better than it feels like. I have five kids who are all adults now. The only way I could get my breastfed boy asleep in the early days was to rock him asleep while he was feeding. It also helped to put my used breast pads under the sheets of his crib near where he would have his head resting. He also wouldn’t sleep without socks on. Your so right. This time doesn’t last long xx
Morning gorgeous 🥰,
You still amaze me 🥰. Bless your heart ❤️. Going from the baby and back to getting things done! Everything looks yummy 😋. I'm praying that the workers get things in gear for you and your family. You always have such a positive outlook. Love you Kim 💝
I love my dash egg cooker and I love that it has the piercer- which is why they peel easier. We always pierce out boiled eggs in Germany so yes- made me happy to have it
Thanks for all your videos Kim. You are such a wonderful mom. You really put a little happy in my day 😊
