Kim, I want to thank you for sharing Levi with us, I've not been around anyone who has raised an autistic child into adulthood and the trials and tribulations you go thru with him. I have much admiration for you and the patience you have on a daily basis knowing tomorrow is probably going to be a repeat of today. You're the best mom ever. Love your videos.
Love the new furniture, what a bargain. I was the principal at a school that had 3 special needs classrooms. I had several "rockers", some liked beanbag chairs but others rocked in their chairs and literally could move the chairs all over the room. I loved those kiddos.
I think you have to make a series Titled: Life with Levi because I have a feeling you can help a lot of Mommas who are raising children who are Autistic. Just talking about your struggles will help a lot of moms not feel alone and I think it will help you have a safe place to really talk about raising him, the good the bad, and the ugly.
Maybe a nice beanbag chair would be good for Levi in the living room so he can watch his movies. Looks nice and cozy in your house with all the hard work you've done and the furniture looks great looks brand new!
Kim, I have a similar couch and love seat. I stuffed memory foam pillows in the zipper at the back behind the factory stuffing. Might help with the rocking flattening your stuffing. Works great!
Good Tuesday morning, Kim and Levi. Your couches look nice. You bought them off of the marketplace how nice. I am glad Buddy, Cayden, and Paw Paw helped bring in the couches. 😊
Good morning Kim and Levi. Thank you for sharing your beautiful son with all of us. And your new furniture is very nice. God bless and have a great day.
It’s a beautiful set! Prayers that Levi remembers to be a little easier on stuff … he’s a big boy! I know he wants to help - breaking a habit is hard!!
Levi rocking is not a habit and cannot be broken. It is called stimming and stimming is part of calming down, and self soothing and other reasons for a person of autism.
Kim, you have your plate full with Levi. He is a wonderful young man, but comes with his challenges of life. There is nothing wrong in getting a used, new to you, sofa set every couple of years, don’t break the bank! You are a wonderful mom! Life isn’t easy but you show grace and love to him. Prayers and blessings go out to you for daily strength. 🤗💖🙏💖
Oh my gosh Kim, I know the struggle all too well. I’m a single mom with two adult sons with Autism, ages 34 and 31 and my youngest has been leaving a path of destruction since he’s been able to walk, it’s always something isn’t it? Hang in there Mama ❤.
Kim, the sofas are awesome,lovely shape and colour and looks new.My children have grown up now but I still look for nearly new furniture.Why pay all the money if you can but beautiful furniture like that, and it’s good for the environment.I had leather and my cats ruined the back and corners within a month of scratching.Looks amazing,thanks for sharing,hope you get to put your feet up.
Good morning, Kim and Levi, that is a really good buy on a used Broyhill set. Aww, when Levi said he's not going to rock, something he can't control, it really touched me. And he has no money to help that was cute. 😊 It's hard Kim, I know when you explain it, it really doesn't adequately show us what you deal with on a daily basis. Sending ❤️ and 🙏 to you both.
Good morning Kim and Levi , I love the new couch and love seat . They look nice in there . Glad you had help getting it in house . Hope you have a good day my friends ❤🙏
What a fantastic find Kim and being able to refill the cushions will give you another few years out of it. The colour fits in perfectly with the rest of the room. I hope Levi gets into the habit of eating at the table and going to his room when he is writing his lists.
Norma here. Nothing wrong with buying used furniture. Those couches look brand new and didn’t break the bank. Poor Levi can’t help banging back against the cushions, but at least you can stuff them when they flatten out. The problem might be breaking him of the habit of eating and writing while sitting on couch. He’s such a good kid. ❤
Hi Kim & Levi, your sofa set looks new. It looks comfy and I like browns & greens. So glad your family came to help which is good. Those pieces are heavy to get thru doorways! ❤
Good Morning Kim and Levi🤗. They look like new! Enjoy them! Levi will do the right thing🥰. Maybe you should get him a glider rocker. I love your house and I love you and Levi♥️♥️
Hi Kim, that furniture set is nice & you can’t beat the price esp. for that brand!! I thought it looked like new couch on Pawpaws Sunday video! Just love Levi❤❤ Love & Blessings to you all❤❤
Kim you are amazing. You take care of your son so well, your home, your animals and still do work for others. Your new(to you) furniture is nice. Actually you have done so much to your home it is just lovely. Just wanted you to know how special you are. Take care of yourself.
Love your new furniture. Everything I have in my senior citizen apt is from Marketplace. You make wise choices and this time you nailed it with the colors and the price and the construction of the furniture. Love how it goes with the chairs.
I have never owned a new set of furniture! Always in my 38 years have I had used or passed down furniture, and been happy with it! Glad you found a nice set.
Good morning Kim and Levi❄️❄️☕☕🌞🌞💕 You get such amazing items from market place, great combo! It will really add the coziness when you start decorating for Christmas ⛄ 🎄⛄ Thank you for sharing 🥰 sending hugs n love and rich Blessings ❤️
There is a metal like wall boarding that would protect your walls. I worked for a home with disabled that had wheelchairs and it worked great. It is an idea to think about, or hard plastic covering. Thank you for sharing and you are right no sense buying new furniture, he will continue to rock. That is his comforting behavior. ❤️😎
Bless his heart 😂.. gotta love him!! The new couch and love seat look great!! Market Place is my favorite furniture store!! Have a great day, and give Levi a big shout out for being such an awesome guy!! 😊
Oh sweet Levi lol. He reminds me of my nephew again. He would sit down so hard because his balance wasn't good. My ex-husband and I had bought brand new pleather furniture in my nephew sat down and busted right through the bottom lol. We just stood and looked at each other and got hysterical, what else could we do as we love him so much. He would giggle like Levi and he kept giggling saying a bery sorry I bery sorry.. Like you You just live with it and deal with it. Hope Levi does better with your new furniture, God bless you both 🤗💜
Good Tuesday morning Kim and Levi. Your 'new' furniture is nice and a great price for the two pieces. I could never get anything leatherish cuz my mother had it and in the summer wearing shorts you would stick to it. Have a great day 😊😊
Morning Kim! Love the new couch. One thing about loose cushions is that you can rotate them around. It’s awesome. Cats do not like the smell of citrus so I found an orange and lemon spray and so far mine have left my couch alone. (bought last year)
So glad you found something affordable. Love that you are sharing your life with us. It shows the beautiful moments. But also the patience you have to have with a special needs child or adult.
The new furniture looks great i do hope you get a few years out of it. My dad is rough on his recliners also because he is always trying to find a comfortable way to sit polio as a child coming back and biting him with terrible back problems. We have got him ones made with pig iron. Kim do a series of life with Levi the way you raise him is very good i think it could help many other parents and other people understand. Anyway have a good evening and may your days be blessed Kim and Levi
Hello Kim and Levi ❤️! Love the new furniture. Rocking is what makes Levi happy. My son likes to jump on the couch. The couch is not even a year old, and he already broke the support bar, but that’s okay. The most important thing is for them to be happy. Furniture is replaceable, but the joy and laughter they bring are irreplaceable. Wishing you both many more happy moments in your cozy space. Have a great evening!❤
How sweet... Kim you really are a rockstar!!! And anyone with common sense don't want to be buying furniture all the time, less they made of money and I'm sorry that just ain't the real folk of this world!! Levi is a great young man, and I know he's gonna do the best he can in his way!! Blessings to y'all!!
Good morning ☕️🌄kim and Levi!! Love your living room furniture, it's very pretty and it looks like it's very comfortable!! You got a bargain huney!! Have a blessed 🙌 Tuesday and week ahead and always God bless 🙌 each of you and Levi ° take care, sweetie❤❤
There isn't anything wrong with buying great used furniture. Much more thrifty than buying new! My secret is to look for decent sofa's/loveseats folks set on the curb in REALLY high dollar neighborhoods for free. It's jaw dropping how often they do so and seem barely used. I also will grab the seat cushions to repurpose, either to replace my existing cushion innards or to transform into dog beds and make zippered covers for them. I've even stitched two cushions together side by side to make an extra large dog bed for a friend's dog and made my own reusable cover for it. Dogs love them because they have so much more cushion and support! 🤗
Great job raising such great men! And KIM!!!! Jami’s greenhouse table Omg it’s so beautiful!!!! 🥳 I see more building in your channel, for sure!!!!❤️❤️❤️❤️
😊Kim my son is 11 with a moderate spectrum of autism and he destroys things on a regular basis and I feel as I see your frustration that my journey has alot of compromise ahead 😂 Love to see you and Levi's story thanks for sharing ❤
Just a thought would Levi sit in a one of the video game chairs that rocks. They don't have sides or arms but rock. He might agree to use it. He's a Blessing to all who know him. I love to see him giving hugs to Bri. You're a great Mom and deserve all the best
Kim your furniture looks beautiful. I think you got a great deal for it. I'm the same, I will not spend a 1000 or more for any furniture. Yours looks so nice. Levi is adorable, no he has no money to pay for furniture. He is so funny. He said he is going to be easy with it and I hope he does but it will be hard. Rocking is what he does. Bless his heart. I'm glad you go t help from Buddy and Cayden and Gigi and Pawpaw. It's so sweet there are family that will help and I know they don't mind. You hardly ever ask for help but willing to help everyone anytime they ask. You and Levi have a wonderful night and enjoy your new furniture. I call it new cause it's new to you and it looks new to me.
Furniture is very nice Kim ❤ bless you heart for taking care of Levi so good, know it work on your nerves but, God has bless him with a wonderful mama and you with him ❤
It’s very pretty , when I wash the covers I do it at night and put them on still wet and let them dry over night by standing them up at angles so air can flow around them they are a pain in the butt to get back on but I love when they are fresh and clean. The syrup on the rug I have dealt with to . I ended up having to soak small,towels in hot water and letting them sit on the spot to soften it up scrubbing it in between towels it took a few scrubbings but it came out then I blotted up,excess moister by putting a folded towel down and standing on it it worked pretty good then a box fan blowing on it to finish drying it up it saved my rug which I was grateful for because I could not afford to replace it.
Kim you can strengthen/support the seat cushions by placing sofa savers under the cushions. Hardboard slats placed at intervals covered in canvas. You can also wash down upholstery then dry with a dehumidifier on the laundry setting.
Levi you are a sweetheart ❤ Kim I love your new couch and love seat. It’s perfect color for your room too. Levi promised no more rocking 😂😂. Love you two ❤❤
That is a beautiful love seat and sofa! Hope Levi enjoys! Love to you and Levi!❤❤🐾🐾. Maybe if you scotch guard your new furniture it would help protect it.
I use the spray foam cleaner for rugs that has the scrubbing bristles on the end. It works like magic. The couches are pretty and they look olive green on the video, pretty.
Love your new to you furniture. I get a lot of mine at estate auctions. Nothing wrong with good used items. Levi is precious…he tries & has good intentions. Hang in there, change is hard for everyone. I got new floors & am obsessed about sweeping every little crumb on it….for now. Lol
The furniture looks really good. It is really clean. It is good that you will have eat, at the table. It is good to have him make lists, in his room. That furniture should last you awhile
Unfortunately, some people are rougher on furniture. My grandson is a big boy and nonverbal Autisic. My daughter will move a rocker all over the house 😂. I found him a smaller one just for him but then he wanted it in his room😅. You're a great mom and I’ve learned alot from you. Hugs to Levi 😊
I love it, it looks nice with the colors you already have in your living room. You LR looks more spacious too. Buying resale is the way to go for you, it's perfect!! ❤
Hello Kim and Levi 👋 Your new Furniture looks really great in the living room with that rug underneath 👍💪 Great find 😍 Have a Blessed Day 🙏💕 Love Levi 😊
You can get fiber filling at the fabric. I got new foam for my seat cushions at an upholstery shop. It saved my couch .There was nothing wrong with it except the foam was worn out. I am happy you got the new furniture for such a good price.
Looks lovely Kim....marketplace is amazing . We use it in Australia too. Hopefully Levi will adapt to his new restrictions and your new furniture will give you lots of years of pleasure. Love to you both.♥️♥️🇦🇺
Perhaps an individual upholstered chair for him? I believe in used furniture. I found a broyhill sofa at an antique furniture shop that looks brand new! $375. Also a full leather sofa for $250..it's gorgeous. You can find stuff too at estate sales. I agree with eating at the table. Good luck!
Kim, get him some of the washable markers for little ones. They won’t get on fabric. You know he will be in the living room when your not in the house with him!
Thank you for sharing your search and finding furniture replacement. What an endeavor. But you do know how to perservere and accomplish whatever is needed to be done 🤗🙋♀️😍😁🙏 be it for you and Levi or others in the family. I'm wondering if Levi has other activities ( besides the videos - how does he make the lists- does he draw or use scissors ✂️ to cut out pictures ) Maybe he could make his own activity book. Like eating at the table. He does have habit's. Your right it's not going to be easy.But, the be rewards would be many...Or 🤔 maybe a "present🎉 " just for him- a foldout eating tray or table. That he is would be responsible for. You're so creative, you'll find a solution 😃 XO XO 😘💕
Kim, I always enjoy your interaction with Levi, (Do you have money was classic 😆You are talented at many things. Enjoy your new furniture. Have a blessed day.
