Hey Guys! My name is Kym and I am a busy homeschooling, homemaking, Mama to 9 kiddos. I make videos on organization, large family logistics, decorating, cleaning and all things Mom life! I make 2 new videos every week and I hope you enjoy my channel!
At first I was like, “Nine kids in one room!!” But you made it work so perfectly and it’s crazy how they all fit in there and seem to have pretty good space. I obviously it also helps that the little girls are younger but you still did a wonderful job planning this all out!
I saw that in your videos you not getting views, even doing hard work. Then I analyzed by working hard and I saw that in your channel have some problems, that's why your videos is not reaching to targeted peoples. If you can fix, videos will reach to targeted peoples. If you allow me I can tell these problems! Can I tell here??? Or in email?? Tell me!! If you allow me!😊😊 or in fb?
Just found your channel. What a beautiful family! Don’t let the negative comments get you down. You make me feel better about trying to feed our family of currently 7-8 depending on whether our niece is over with some organic but most just healthy food. But we love snacks too. This is very relatable. Will subscribe!
I will have to try your sausage recipe. We just had 6 pigs processed from our farm property, so we are swimming in sausage lol. I love the homeschool PE class, I wonder how far away it is from us. I'll bet my kids would love that!
Girl I understand. We've been out of the camper for s years as r and already have what I think is too much stuff. Or not enough space, I'm not sure which. It's so easy with a large family to accumulate stuff.
I am so sorry to hear about the accident! Thank the Lord you two are okay and that the other children were safe at home. Wow! The pictures of your van look so scary!
It was really scary but we are just so thankful it wasn't worse. Just the other day here there was a girl killed in a head on accident. We feel so blessed. ❤️
Kym, your meals look wonderful. An update. I am up and about. I am slowly getting better. Day by day I am getting stronger. It is a very long process in the healing. Still feel little dizzy when I stand up and walk. My meal have been easy ones. A lot of frozen meals. I am getting there, one day at the time. Thank you for sharing. Love and Blessings to you all. ❤❤❤❤🙏🙏🙏🙏 Doris, Penrith 🇦🇺🦘
Oh Doris I was hoping to hear from you! I am so glad things are improving for you even if slowly. I'm thankful you are getting stronger day by day and you continue to be in my prayers. I will keep praying for a full recovery. 🙏❤️ Bless you friend.
Everything you made looked delicious Kym. I often made meals ahead when I was working. It was so much easier,especially after having a hard day at work. The one thing I didn't have to worry about was what was for supper. I'm happy to see you look so much better Kym and you seem to be getting your energy back. Hope Lincoln is doing much better too. You made so many healthy dishes and your children liked them. That's always a problem for a lot of moms. I had a friend and she had four children, each one of them wanted something different for their supper. I thought she was making a mistake not cooking one dish for everyone and making them eat it, instead of making four different meals. After awhile she got tired of that and cooked one meal for all of them to eat. it made life a lot easier for everyone, but especially for her. Take care Kym and may God bless and keep all of you safe and healthy.
Oh goodness yes I cannot make more than one meal. I do have some kids who don't always like something and for those times if I know they really truly don't like it they can make themselves a sandwich. Otherwise, they gotta eat what we serve. I would never leave the kitchen if I had to make 11 different meals. 🤣 Often littles think they don't like something but once they try it they do. I hope you have a wonderful week Shirley. I always look forward to chatting with you. ❤️
You can tell this was made for a large family. We’re a family of 8 and we have that exact Berkey and dining room chairs. We’d love an RV, but we’d have to get a truck or large enough tow vehicle first. We spent six weeks this summer tent camping across the US and making our Honda Odyssey work as our “home away from home.” You do what you have to do for those memories. I saved your video for future ideas.
Oh that's amazing! We used to love tent camping, however I do think it would be difficult now with all the littles. The memories are priceless and totally worth the temporary adjustments. If you ever have any questions feel free to reach out. Best of luck! ❤️
Oh I love this. Thank you for sharing that. The fun thing about only needing 1 serving is that if you make a few delicious meals a week, you can portion out the leftovers and freeze them and have homemade food ready to go. You wouldn't have to cook nearly as much. 😊 Thank you for watching! ❤️
Hey Kym! Thanks so much for doing this video ❤ All the food looks delicious and thanks for giving me some ideas to fix as well. I hope everyone has a blessed week. Any tips on tending to a toddler and a newborn at the same time? Was it easy to adjust?
Hey girl! I'm going to try to do one of these every month at least. As far as a toddler and a newborn, it's tough work. There are things you can do though to help. Have your toddler be a helper whenever possible. Not only does it really help you, but it starts them young learning to care for things and have responsibilities. Have them grab the diapers and wipes when it's time to change the baby, or carry the empty bottle to the sink, or get a burpcloth. Littles love to help and it makes them feel included. I used to put on a show when I would nurse and have the toddler(s) come sit next to me so I could keep an eye on them and they could get some snuggles in too and not feel left out. That was the only time we watched TV so it felt special and they would sit while I needed to be sitting. If that's not an option maybe have a special toy or craft that is only used during those times. You got this Mama! God doesn't make mistakes and He picked exactly the right Mama for those precious babies. Give yourself alot of grace as you learn and transition. I'll be praying for you. ❤️
It's the only thing I know to do with them. I would Luke to look up some other recipes though and give them a try because if they are done right, they're good and you can almost always get them on deals. 🙂
Good question! We would pull the table out and the littlest kids would sit back there. We wound up switching it to a smaller table that sits sideways and has 4 chairs for easier access. It is always a learning process and we're not afraid to make changes to see what will work best. 🙂
$1500 a month !! Yikes ! God bless you … I mean, that’s decent actually considering how many mouths you’re feeding and how much groceries cost now. But still… $1500 ! Wow. Do you have any veggie gardens where you live ? That has helped us tremendously over the years and all our fruit trees too. And we have our own hens for their eggs. So yummy
I know it sounds like a ton but it's actually way below what the average family spends per person per month. There's just alot of mouths to feed here. 🤣 I wouldn't have it any other way though. We don't have a garden because we're not allowed since we're renting. When we had property in Michigan, we had a garden, goats for milk, chickens for me a t and eggs, bushes for berries, and bees for honey. We can't wait until we get to do that all again. It definitely saves alot of money and is so much healthier. ❤️
Just seeing this video after throwing in my first laundry load for the day 😊😂 There’s 5 of us. So, not a huge family but my 90 year old dad lives with us and so that’s a big blessing for all of us. 😊
That is awesome! My Grandma lived with us for a but when I was a teenager and I loved it so much. She was always such a blessing to be around. So glad you get to have this time with your dad. ❤️
Just letting you know that I am still not well. I fell over last night and have a big bruse on my arm and bum. I broke the column heater, and the leg snapped. My husband told me off. I have to slow down and take it easy. This healing process is taking a long time, especially when the brain is affected. I am very stubborn and want to do things. Love and Blessings to you all. ❤️ ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ Love you lots ❤
Oh Doris that is awful! Are you OK? I have been thinking about you and wondering if you were any better. Is this all still from the food poisoning? Have you seen a doctor? I will continue to pray for you. Please take it easy and allow your body time to rest and heal. ❤️🙏
@bigtimeblessed Yes, Kym. It is still from the food poisoning. My doctor has said that there is nothing he can do. Just a lot of rest and not doing anything. I am drinking lots of water 💧 Thank you, prayers are welcoming. ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Thanks for taking the time to share your life. I know it encourages many people. Honestly, you make it look so easy. 😂 But I know it's not. I am a natural born organizer & even I am amazed at all you do! I smiled when I saw you re-stuffing your daughter's bear. My youngest has a stuffed elephant that he had since he was 2, ( he's now 13), and it is very loved & worn. I've had to re-stuff it many times over the years. 😊 You sure got a lot accomplished on this video, but please remember to give yourself grace as you are still emotionally recovering. Sending love & prayers. 🙏❤️
Awe thank you Wendi. I do rest now more than ever before. I realize ita importance. I love that kids are so attached to their special item. It is special. ❤️ Seeing her face made it so worth it. Thank you fornyour continued prayers. Have a blessed week. 🙂
Hi Kym! I am so sorry to hear about your car accident. I am so thankful that you & Lincoln are ok, even though I can imagine it will take a while to recover emotionally. I haven't been on RU-vid in 5 weeks bc I'm trying to be more mindful of how I spend my time. God has been really convicting me of that. That's why I hadn't heard about your accident until now. I always think about how you can be the best, most experienced driver, but we can be at the mercy of other drivers in how they drive. I'm praying for you & your son in a full recovery, both physically & mentally. ❤
Thank you Wendi! I too limit my time on my phone/tv. It's so easy to lose track of many hours a day if we allow ourselves. There are alot of things on youtube I love and that are actually an encouragement to me and so I do take some time each week to listen or watch but it's very limited. Thank you for spending your little time to watch here and encourage me. It is a blessing. We are so thankful that the accident wasn't worse. It definitely could've been. Unfortunately there is still a whole aftermath of healing physically and emotionally that just takes time and that's OK. You are so tight about not having to be in the wrong ro be injured. That is the scariest part. You want to believe that if you just pay attention, you will be fine but that's not always the case. The Lord was watching over us and protected us as He always does. There have been blessings already from this and we know He isnat work in our lives. Thank you for the prayers. I hope you have a blessed week my friend. ❤️
Hi Kym. Great video. I am not well. I'm lying in bed and watching you. I am down with food poisoning. It is affecting my brain, and I can't concentrate on much. Love and Blessings to you all ❤❤❤❤
Oh Doris I am so sorry. Thank you for taking time to say hi even when you aren't well. I am praying for you now. Wish I could help you out. Please keep me posted. ❤️
How is the Native toothpaste my son just started using their body wash I would like to use their products but I'm hesitant because as far as the deodorant I have to use unscented because I break out if I break out if I use anything with a scent. Is Ivory better than Dawn for grease stains?
The toothpaste is AMAZING! I honestly love all of their products. I also am very sensitive to scents and they often cause itching for me. We use the fluoride free and it tastes great and works great. As for the deodorant they also have an unscented one as well as several sensitive akin options. I've tried many clean brands of toothpaste and deodorant and I will never use another. The dish soap doesn't matter which brand. I have used them all to be honest. I think they work equally. 🙂
@@bigtimeblessed Ty I'll let my son know and I'll look at them see what they offer for sensitive people ty again. The body wash my son got has a good smell it's not over powering
Hi Kym ,Personally I think you did an amazing job with your shopping. Whose business is it if you bought a few convenience foods. We all do what we have to when it comes to feeding our family. I don't think you should feel guilty at all about those purchases. You always do your best to make sure your family gets what they like and what they enjoy eating. For the most part they eat very healthy. I hope that you and Lincoln are getting much better. On this video I must say you look really good and your voice sounds more hopeful. Sending you lots of hugs and prayers for you and your beautiful family. Your friend Shirley
Thank you friend! We try our best. Everyone enjoys a treat every now and then. 🙂 I think sometimes people can forget how many people I am feeding and it might look like alot to them but to us it might only mean that everyone gets cookies once or a special drink twice, etc. It's all relative, but if you're not used to it, it can look like alot of junk. I hope you have a blessed weekend. ❤️
Delivery was my salvation during Covid and over the last year with health issues. I occasionally go in, but the bulk of my shopping is delivered. It is appreciated when our season of life throws us a curveball. Hugs and prayers for your family Kym❤
I’m so glad you’re back and I’m so glad that y’all are doing better! Prayers for the recovery for you and Lincoln 🙏 Happy Easter and also Happy Birthday to Mike! Hope you have a blessed week ❤
I'm so sorry for you and your family that has to be very traumatic for you and your son. Thank goodness you are doing better now and that you are getting stronger each day praying for you and your son for continued healing so glad that you are acknowledging his pain and trauma and reaching out for help!!
Thank you! We feel blessed that it wasn't worse but I definitely don't want him to struggle long term. He's a tough kid so I know he will get through this in time. Thank you for the prayers. ❤️
Missed you so much. Happy Birthday to Mike. Wishing you all a Very Happy Easter. Enjoy your Family day. Thoughts and Prayers for you all. Thank you for sharing. Love and Blessings to you all. ❤❤❤❤🙏🙏🙏🙏 Doris, Penrith 🇦🇺🦘
I'm happy you and Lincoln are doing better! I'll be keeping Lincoln in my prayers regarding his concussion results and that he continues to recover mentally from the accident 🙏🏻. Please tell Mike I said Happy Birthday 🎉🎊 and I hope you all have a fun safe and blessed Easter 💗🐇 xoxo
