It's so encouraging when fellow Christians take a firm stand on their convictions...I enjoy your videos very much and appreciate your optimistic outlook on everything.
Not just Christians. Anyone who lives their convictions, as long as they don’t hurt anyone else, is worthy of admiration. There are so many people faking it, and especially to see young people who walk the walk is very encouraging.
I agree Dolores Mathew. I use to watch another Christian CZcams but she has became so wishy washy on her views. It makes my heart sad
@@soldieroflife4449 which youtuber are you talking about?
Being a present stay at home mom beats sitting in a corporate office cubicle any day of the week!
Staying home and tending to the kids, and husband and being there for them and making a house a home is a blessing! 🙏
Wouldn’t change it for the world! 🥰🥰🥰
I completely agree!🥰
agreed... taking care of your family and home is the most important 'job' you will ever have. And from one who does not have children of her own, working in the corporate world (or any job) is repetitive and can be boring as well ! A lot of the negative comments come from people who are jealous because they feel they 'can't' stay home -- but if they did the math as it applies to their budget and eliminate some 'wants' that they have as 'needs'... they probably could stay at home ... or at least get a part time job ....
Being a happy, healthy mom is the best for your family. I am not a great SAHM, I don't feel like myself and it's just not a fit for my personality. I'm still a good mom. The best me works outside the home and if I'm the best me, I can be the best mom to my kids and STILL make a house a home.
As a single parent, I take care of my home, work from home, and homeschool my son. So a lot of home! It’s easy to occasionally slip into feeling like those responsibilities with which I’ve been blessed are “chores.” Thank you for the reminder to see and fully experience all of the joy to be had inside our homes!
Thank you SO MUCH for talking about how homemaking can be fulfilling and fun! Nowadays everyone seems to think that being a homemaker or stay at home mom is some kind of oppressive task. 🙄
I LOVE being a stay at home mom. It’s definitely not easy, but I don’t want to miss a second of my son growing up. And I want to create a warm home for my husband to enjoy after work as well. Absolutely nothing wrong with that! ♥️
Having 3 sons and a husband to cook for and clean up after brought me so much fulfillment. I always felt like I wanted to do the best I could with as much enjoyment as I could for the family God had blessed me with. Our oldest son moved out on his own last year, and the laundry pile has shrunk, and i dont have to cook as much. I miss it already ! Philippians 2:14 . I never wanted to complain in front of my family and make them think taking care of my home and family burdened me in any way. It is a pure joy!
GOOD FOR YOU!!!👏👏👏👏👏 Girl, I am standing up and cheering for you!!!! We HAVE TO SAY NO, to companies who take a stand and embrace the wickedness in this world!!! Life will not come to an end without them!!! So I LOVE IT!!!🙏🙏🙏
I was ironing as I listened! Prayers as the time draws near for your precious little one to be born 🙏
I am also a Christian homemaker/wife with 3 littles and a fourth blessing on the way. I totally agree with you that house chores can be a joy depending on your attitude and the way you look at all the work. I look at it as a way to serve God and my family. If I cook a meal and my family enjoys it, it brings me so much joy that I can be a blessing to my family in that way. Some days are hard, I won't lie. But I try to find the good things in every day and stay positive.
Question will you ever film your mom on one of your video's. I would love to see her. She has done such a great job preparing you for marrriage, mother hood ,cook , gardener etc
I agree! She sounds wonderful!
I'll have to ask her if she would like to introduce herself sometime!
I ate breakfast while I listened to you... it was a blessing to hear your attitude on housework... it’s pushing me to get it done. CZcams is hard work... I was nervous publishing my first video just because I didn’t know how church would handle it. I’m surprised my husband is supporting me on this journey. Prayers for your next few weeks... enjoy them!
I love watching your videos! I appreciate so much the fact that you are so inspiring and openly honest with your viewers!!!
I definitely try to be! I never want to come across as something that I am not.
girl don't worry about filming or showing us anything!! you do not owe us content, take care of yourself and family first! much love from Indiana too!
Aw, this comment makes me happy. I appreciate youuu🥰
Omg yes you will love being a mom and doing all that laundry everyone is different. I love doing everything for my husband and my kids I am so blessed. It's literally all your mindset your right. There will be days when you will struggle and be tired, but mostly you will love it. 🥰
Same here! I love cooking so much and doing "chores" - I personally find it so therapeutic and it's almost like my me time. Gotta find the joy in the little things!
Yes!! Me too!
I’m proud of you! Taking a stand for your faith is something that can be tough. You will be a great mama. Love your positivity. ❤️
You're so sweet,I just want to squeeze you😂.I was a joyful young married girl many many moons ago.Its sad when everyone complains,about things that could be joyful.Bless your hearts! Can't wait to see that baby,may your labor and delivery be a good experience!Hugs from Missouri 🤗
Praying for you and your sweet baby ! ❤️
These are my favorite types of videos to throw on while I clean 😊 Congratulations on your little one! I hope both mom and baby are doing well!
Your videos are great! Your suggestions/ideas for women are spot on! I love your attitude and the joy you exude especially about homemaking. I’m old and retired now but I absolutely loved being a mom and now a grandma. And, I love taking care of my home.
Excited to see your baby!
So glad you enjoy my videos!
I love your outlook on the workload that we, as homemakers, have. We have 3 kids (2, 3, and 7) and there’s so much going on all the time. I’m trying to slow down, enjoy, and really thank God for what we have. We’re trying to be more minimalistic with what we have so we can truly enjoy our life as a family. ❤️
I just discovered you on You Tube so this is the first time I have watched one of your videos. I was doing laundry and washing a few dishes while watching. I love your happiness and positive attitude about life. I’m glad I discovered your channel!!
Can't wait to see your baby and hope everything goes well! I hadn't stopped by for a little while, and wow, your channel really grew!
Yes it has😍
Wish you all the luck in the world on the delivery of your baby I will be praying for you all and I’m folding Laundry while watching your video I really enjoy watching your videos have a blessed week
I worked for the federal government for 7 years before I had my first son. I resigned from work as soon as he was born. My in-laws were upset and I’m not sure why they were upset, but my husband and I had made the choice way before our son was born. I realize not everyone is able to stay home, but if you’re given the chance and you accept it, then it’s wonderful. I was given the chance and I have no regrets. I didn’t have my kids, so that someone else could raise them. Besides, child care in my area was so expensive too. I ended up writing my in-laws a nice email and basically told them in a nice way not to intervene. :)
Today I listened to you as I made the 35 minute drive home from carring for my 90 year old Grandpa who fell the other night and banged himself up quite a bit. I had had a very late night and early morning, so I was a little tired. Your video was perfect for my drive! You are always such an encouragement and joy to watch... or listen too! 😉😊
You are absolutely right "don't rain on my parade". I found more and more joy in all things home related as each child was added and the work load increased. I found enjoyment in being able to do special things for each child like making their favorite foods and doing special things with them. I seemed to thrive on the chaois that a full house creates. When "he" comes home you should always greet him with a smile, happy children and a good home cooked meal. Your job is not easy but oh so important. He should look forward to coming home to his family and the wonderful home that you have created for that family. You are the best Kim...
That was perfect advice for a young married person or an older person. Enjoy the phase you are in.
You are just the cutest! Best wishes to you on your birth, enjoy the last week being pregnant! You’ve got such a great attitude. 🥰💕
I washed dishes and picked up living room. Love your bubbly personality and your relationship with God/faith! So happy for your family with little one coming soon. Both of you will be wonderful parents!!! God bless and keep all of your families!😀
My cat and I hung out in my recliner while I’m recovering from illness. It’s good to see you taking a stand in Christian values. I hope all goes well with the birth of your little guy.
Aw I hope you get well soon!🥰
I totally agree with enjoying the season you are in and not listen to negative people that say “oh just you wait until this happens”. Also, I was cooking dinner while I listened to your video. I do that all the time
I love your attitude towards being a homemaker! You will be such a wonderful example for your children.
I would love to hear more on how your mother made you see the joy in being homemaker. It has taken me time to find this joy, but we’re getting there! And therefore I struggle helping my kids (daughters in particular) find the joy is working and helping out in the home. It’s expected but not accepted joyfully.
Same!
Hey girl, I really love your attitude towards a life with Christ as a house wife and soon to be mom❤️ I have always struggled with finding joy in my work as a wife. I know I should but, I just hate the monotony especially now that I have a huge family to care for. Can you give me some tips on how to get my heart right so that I can find joy in my work? You are such an inspiration to me I and pray that you always keep your joyful attitude even when you’re family is larger! You’re such a blessing to watch🥰
Kim, I love your energy and you to have a great attitude. Every video I've watched, you have always been positive and encouraging. You both have fun in your marriage too, you are truly partners in all you do. Nothing better than you teaching Darryl how to make an apple pie, or you while blindfolded. That is very sweet. You are inspiring.
Aw thank you! We certainly have fun together.
Nursing my 3 week old son as I’m watching 😍 you’re gonna love being a mom to a little boy ❤️😇
I'm seriously so excited
Thank you for sharing your life so honestly, simply and yet, respectfully. I really look forward to your videos and am relieved to see you're doing so well. :) Your Mom must be amazing, because you are incredible and have more home (AND LIFE) skills than most ppl twice your age. Wishing you the very best and awaiting the next installment... :D
Yes, mom is pretty great😄I'm very blessed!
It’s all about your attitude👍👍👍👍 Preach it sister!!!!! Loved this vid...😘😘😘
Just found your channel and have absolutely loved your videos! Love your view on homemaking and your mom did a wonderful job teaching you💙 I have always loved the values that the Mennonite community have as far as work ethics and starting a family and raising their kids well! I have some close friends that are ex-mennonites but were still raised basically Mennonite and I always love going to visit them! I swear they cook the best food and are just the most fun to fellowship with.
I played this audio over my car speaker while picking up my son from work then picking up my daughter from school. (She’s doing her final semester at a school with an arts program after being homeschooled k-12) I find it so sweet and nostalgic listening to your videos. They remind me of that lovely season of life! And good for you focusing on the joy/enjoying the season you’re in! In no time you’ll blink and be where I’m at: 4 kids ages 23, 20, 17, & 14 being shocked that I’m planning a homeschool year for only 1 child!!! My husband and I were 20 & 21 when we started dating/got married and I love that we share our entire adult lives with one another. Enjoy these last days with that sweet boy in your belly! You’ll be in my prayers as you transition to holding him in your arms ♥️
I just stumbled across you and you are a sweet breath of fresh air!😊
I’m knitting while watching! 🧶
I love that you took a stand with your Christian values. I enjoy watching your videos, tonight I curled up with a big glass of ice water and a fuzzy blanket to watch, after I got off of work. I just love your cheerful upbeat attitude and joyfulness. Best wishes for the last week or so of pregnancy.
Aw thank you, & I'm glad you watch my videos as a relaxation method!
Amen!
Don’t listen to the negativity. There is great joy in a home!
Happy Mother's Day Kim earlier 💐💐 can not wait to see baby Martin 🙏 and being mommy to kittens🐱 too...
Thank you!! I'll show you all the kittens SOON!😍😍😍
Laundry 🧺 looking forward to hearing about your new baby!! And your birth story! Children are such a blessing! Love your videos!
I just got off from work and noticed you had posted, so I made a green smoothie and watched your video while I made it and sipped on it while I got some much needed rest. I enjoy your videos, and love to see your love for home making. I love it also!!
Sounds so relaxing!!!
Great video! I love your advice for new wives/newly weds and your honesty and conviction concerning the cleaning products. I am disappointed, too. I was about to order some of their products. Such a wise young woman you are. ♥️
An inspiring video. I enjoyed.Love and Prayers in upcoming new bundle of joy. So exciting for you kids. I am setting in my easy chair enjoying a cup of cappuccino and listening to the rain hoping my flowers don’t get to much rain.
Thank you for sharing.
Such a fun video! I sorted laundry while watching. 😉 And I'm wishing you the best on the birth of your lil guy! 😍
Got some dishes done and steam mopped while you kept me company. You are so sweet! Thanks for the fun chat!
Very inspiring video, and also I wish you the best in the anticipation of your little one!🙂
Love your cheerful and positive attitude, I folded laundry and took a rest while watching your video😉
You go girl!!👏
Your looking great Kim,I really thought your little guy would have arrived by now,still the longer he takes its better for him, cozy & snuggled and growing stronger! Enjoy your last couple of weeks, oh and I was crocheting watching your vlog 😊
Crocheting sounds very relaxing!😄
Such a good idea to encourage us to do housework while you talk! I whipped up some chocolate chip cookies while watching the video. Hope labor and delivery go well!
Well thank you! I hope so too😬 & I'm so glad you accomplished something while watching my video!! Makes me so happy to hear that!
Take whatever time you need to adjust to being a new mommy. Videos can wait.. all of us mommy's out here completely understand.
Really enjoyed the video while doing dishes 🙂 very excited for ur lil one all the best to u
I switched out baby clothes sizes!! You’re so sweet Kim ♥️ Praying for safety for you, your hubby and sweet baby boy 🥰
Aw thank you!
Unloaded/loaded my dishwasher while watching. Fun video! I enjoy Q&A’s. Fun fact: figured out that your husband’s mom is my first cousin (my Dad was her Dad’s youngest brother). Blessings to you both as you take on the new role as parents!
Beautiful way to live Kim! God bless your channel ❤️
I really enjoyed this video!! I’m a Christian stay at home mom, we have 4 children and I love cooking for them, cleaning and doing laundry it’s not boring at all!! With 4 children around you’ll always hear something interesting/funny 😁❤️
I TOTALLY agree with the advice for a new wife. When you first get married so many people try to tell you to enjoy it while it last. But marraige can and will always be fun as long as you are intentional! As a wife of 6 years with 2 little boys, it has only gotten better!!
Aw, I love this comment!! I agree whole heartedly!
Missed you last week!!!! I was wondering if baby boy had arrived also.. enjoy watching your videos and so proud your standing your ground on your beliefs! Go gurl!!!!!
Haha I missed all of you too, weird how just taking one week off feels like it's been ages!
I LOVE your heart for enjoying the gift of marriage and motherhood! It is countercultural, but it’s the good works that people see and glorify our Father in heaven. 💗 Thank you for holding to your convictions joyfully-it inspires me.
Also, folded laundry and sourdough 😆 (I stretch and fold it before its overnight rest) while I listened to this video.
My husband and I have been married for 4 years next month. Our oldest turned 3 a couple days ago. We also have a 20 month old and a 4 month old. Laundry is still something I enjoy doing. Cooking is more fun too, because I double the amount and have lots of leftovers for freezer meals😊love seeing how you enjoy being a wife and soon a new mom. It is a special time, don't let anyone's negativity affect you! It is a blessing to be a wife and mother!
Yes we love homeschool! Indiana has very simple homeschool standards that I love also. I can’t wait to see your garden! We expanded ours this season. Loved the q & a! 😊😊❤️
Indiana here also. We love Indiana!
I genuinely love this State so much.
That’s good to know, Jaime! My husband and I are thinking of moving to Indiana, and although we don’t have kids yet, home school has always been on my mind.
@@JessicaPinkstone we moved here from California 18 yrs ago, we've never had any regrets.
@@JessicaPinkstone We have lived here our entire lives and love it! 😊
It makes it so much easier to find the “joy” in things when you use the term as an acronym,
Jesus first
Others second
You last
♥️
Love that you find the joy in all of the things you do, it’s so encouraging!
AMEN!!!
I’m getting ready for the day while I watched your video. 💕🌈
You're awesome! Loved the video!❤
I craved deep fried anything when I was pregnant too!! I craved fast food. Any time someone asks me or my husband how many kids we will have we just say “all of them” 💛
Ha love that answer
I genuinely love that answer. I will definitely be telling people that from now on😂😂
Ahhh, show the kittens!! While I’m watching your video I’m in the middle of doing laundry, prepping for dinner, cleaning my kitchen, etc! I wish I could devote myself completely to just watching this, but life has other plans! Lol.
I absolutely love that you are busy getting stuff done! That's exactly what I was hoping you would be doing!😁😍
I think with the way you were raised you have been well-prepared for motherhood. Plus you are so self aware. You two will be awesome parents. (I agree with your take on the devils’ holiday.)
I really enjoyed this video! Thank you, Kim. Praying for you and your little one.
-Alberta, Canada
Aw, thank you!
@@Kim_Martin You’re welcome!
Hello, I was able to fold some laundry and peel, slice, and get some apples on cooking! Kim, I appreciate you and your Godly example that you live and share with others. I love that you dress with such modesty.. I pray for you, Daryl, and your new baby! Can't wait to see and meet him! I hope you had a wonderful, happy Mother's Day!! ❤️💙
Aw thank you! Yes we did!!
I was doing my morning routine before church while watching your video 😊
Sooo I shouldn’t be binge-eating chips while watching this? Fine, I’ll go fold laundry ☺️ Kim, you answered that newlywed/new wife Q so well! I 100% agree with what you said.
Kims gonna be the reason we’ll all get overweight 😂😂
Ahahahhh your comment made me laugh out loud!!😂😂 thank you for that!!
Good for you to stand up for your faith and make the tough decision to not work with a company that doesn't support your beliefs. I enjoy your upbeat attitude so much. Also, I want to add that your marriage and homemaking advice is spot on! Keeping a good attitude and treating each other with love and respect is so important. I think people underestimate the value of taking care of your spouse. Its really not that hard and it really strengthens the relationship. Its worked for my husband and I for 21 and a half years. Wishing you all the best with your labor and delivery 😊!
Aw thanks! I agree, the love & respect circle is SO important.
I made a delicious Loose Leaf Tea and Boba while watching this video and enjoyed them while sitting down for the last 5 minutes. Thank for always inspiring!
That sounds so yummy!!😍
I just love you! You’re so positive and have such a great attitude! And I love that you are a Christian because it’s hard to find many Christian youtubers! I just love how you love taking care of your family!
I am a baptist and coming up on my 2nd wedding anniversary and I enjoyed your video. So true
AMEN about being a homemaker!!
Oh I agree with you so so much about the part of "enjoy being a new wife" I know rite wat ya mean by folks and there less than positive attitude🙉🙈
My husband & I are going to be celebrating are 10th anniversary tomorrow and it just gets better and better💞 Yes there is hard times to work through things, but it is so wonderful to work thru it with God and a wonderful husband to grow closer with♡♡
I love how you took a stand against Branch Basics! We may be a minority that stops using them, but we show our support with our money! (or lack of support)
Yes yes & yes.
@@Kim_Martin I'm just curious, where did you hear or find this information about Branch Basics?
@@addiewenger1575 they dropped a bunch of Christian influencers that I respect this past week on Instagram & other platforms.
Oh wow! 😳
When you mentioned it in the video, I wasn’t sure what you were referring to...so I went to Google but couldn’t find any news on them. I suppose this is the type of thing they’d do in secret, right? Good for you for putting your faith first!
This is awesome, good for you Kim!
Love your video, I just sat on my couch, and my red miniture poodle, biscuit, snuggled up beside me😍😊but I'm planning on working on our landscaping today 😊God bless you with a healthy birth and baby
Love this!! While watching your video I ate a huge spinach salad with strawberries, pecans, blueberries, chicken and honey mustard. And I did some dishes too. 👏
That sounds so yummy!!
I sat in bed and ate while watching this, bc I have cleaned all day and then did a workout.. so this was my reward hahaha
Thank you for realizing the power of your dollar! It can be difficult sometimes but it's important. Good advice for young wives.
I'm so sad, I genuinely love the products😔
Thought forsure you had him .. Can’t wait to see your sweet little guy.. Love from Canada.. God Bless
Aw me too, I'm so anxious to meet him!
One thing to keep in mind when considering your family size is that it’s rare to be running around after little ones even with a bigger family. This is because those y’all already have will get older and therefore more helpful and not so needy for things like feeding and cleaning up the themselves. We have four and they rarely need attention all at the same time. Congratulations!
I love your positivity. I love being a housewife but in the UK it’s quite unusual. I got laundry done and photos in frames ...oh and my baby changed, whilst I watched this x
So glad to see a young family take a stand and not purchase from some of these companies. Will be keeping you in my prayers for a healthy, uncomplicated delivery.
Aw thanks for the prayers!!
What has this company done? Couldn’t find anything online? 😳
@@Tanteminmuc I know, I couldn't either.
Kim said on another comment that the company dropped a bunch of Christian Influencers.
I am taking care of my beautiful children while watching this video. I'm new here just found you🥰🙏
Good luck with your delivery - god bless you and your family. I had 🥗 lunch… I commend you for taking a stand against non-Christian companies.
Thank you!
I have used Branch Basics for years and I am also looking for a different non-toxic cleaner. Very disappointing that they made that decision! But I admire you for standing for what's right🙏
Hi Laura! Sorry to ask, but what is the decision Branch Basic made? I'm a little bit lost.
Same here? I’d like to know so I can decide wether or not to support them
Great video ! Good luck with delivery!
You are so stinking sweet! I am sitting here with my client who sleeps lol. I am fighting a horrific cold, and 28ish weeks pregnant lol. So... your videos give me a time to rest lol. So nope... no feeling bad here watching you lolol. But you are an inspiration to me. I see so much of my younger self in you. I was almost 21 when I had my son, and I was so busy and motivated to get all the things done lol. Now... I am 39 and my son is almost 19 and pregnant, and not motivated to get any of the things done lolol.
Give yourself some GRACE!!! That is the best advice, for all aspects of life!! Marriage, having children, anything!! I’m 58, and married 38 years next month, so, I am speaking from experience. Plus my first 17 years of marriage, I was an Military wife. So lots of experience under my belt! So ENJOY EVERY MINUTE OF IT!!! Time goes by so fast!!!
I prepared some oatmeal raisin cookie batter!..Also I totally agree with you. When I moved out for college the silence and being away from family was much harder than I anticipated. That totally caught me off guard
When I lived at home, the noise was almost annoying, but now I miss it!
I would love to see your skincare routine! 🤗
I made coffee, fed the kitties and getting my breakfast ready. 💕
Being a stay-at-home mom with children raising them to be loving and caring responsible people our future leaders is the most important job in one could have. God bless you and your family
