A mom surprises kids with a new house and their reactions are priceless.
In a TikTok video, a mom named Katie (@kt_katie_b) filmed the moment her kids got to see their new house for the first time. The best part? They had no idea this was happening. “POV: Telling your kids that we need to feed a friend’s cat before going back to our apartment … but really surprising them with something better,” she wrote in the video’s text.
In the clip, her three kids walk into the house and immediately realize that the furniture looks just like their furniture — and that’s because it is. Her oldest daughter puts it together quickly. With a gasp she says, “This is our new house?”
The kids are ecstatic, although her younger daughter does inquire about the cats, not realizing that was just a white lie to get them there.

Katie’s oldest daughter immediately breaks into tears as her younger siblings begin exploring their new crib.
Unlike in their old apartment, each of Katie’s kids now gets their own bedroom. And as Katie’s oldest added, there are three bathrooms in their new home, which is two more than they had in their old apartment. There is also a playroom for the kids to play together in.

She answered that in a follow-up video, explaining that the kids went camping with their dad for a week which bought her some time. She had six days to move everything from their apartment to the new place, and fortunately she had a good group of friends to help her with this. In fact, her friends even helped her decorate the new home.

As Katie explained: “This was my entire plan ever since I had put an offer on the house. I was like, I want to make this super special for [my kids] and to surprise them just because I knew it would be a memory and we’ve waited a long time for this. “
Katie noted that prior to this, she and her kids had been living in a two-bedroom apartment for the past four years. In the apartment, the three kids all shared a bedroom. Their new home certainly is a well-deserved upgrade. Congrats, mama!
