My name is Karen and I'm a wife of 30 years and a mom of 7 kids! I believe that as women we should join hands, walking together and helping each other. I'll share all I know, hoping to help other women find joy and beauty in their all important work at home. Let's share recipes, cleaning and organizing tips, decorating strategies, and mommy encouragement. I can't wait to meet you!

Your channel is such a blessing! Keeps me motivated and so great to hear someone share their love for Jesus!
Yes Karen the keep moving has always helped me and also seeing every little beauty - I’ve spent so much time running running running to be what I thought I should and I now appreciate what I am and the beauty I so often overlooked
And I love Jodi Dunn her laugh is contagious
Thank you for your testimony Karen, you always encourage and motivate me! God bless you! ❤️
I have 2 huge spider webs in my livingroom. I'm leaving them there till after Halloween.😂😂😂
Me too! But mine are in the porch! 😂😂😂😂
That is hilarious!
Your testimony for the Lord was so sweet and I appreciate you sharing that. A simmer pot sounds lovely. I had an old copper teapot I would use sometimes. I may try to find it soon. Staying busy and on task is so much better when dealing with stress. I have the tendency to shut down. Love you.
Karen, that music you put on when there is some kind of glitch in the flow (as when you were hunting for your cinnamon) is so funny! It made me laugh.
I am glad you and your family are safe and that tragic event that the community will need to heal through for a long time to come atleast that individual is no longer causing hurt and chaos. ❤
Nice idea with the simmer pot. Will try that. I helped my sister Friday and Saturday with a cake walk booth for her church Fall Feast. When I got home last night. No clean dishes. 😂😂😂 I went to church this morning. And, ask God to give me the want to I needed to do them. So, the dishwasher is running as I watch your video. I will do laundry tomorrow. It is 81 degrees here in N.C. The leaves are falling. And, I love Fall. Thanks for your sky shots and videos of the beautiful trees. God never disappoints us with His nature views. I pray you have a fantastic week. Say hello to your family for me. Jesus loves us!
Karen, some great motivation in this video for me. You and I were clearing out paperwork together, as I was clearing out my filing cabinet whilst also watching you doing your home school paperwork. Regards simmer scent pots, I used to do a cheats version. I simply boiled up a kettle full of water, let it cool slightly and then adding similar ingredients to the ones you added into two small Chinese squat bottomed (open-lidded) teapots with lit tea light burners underneath, and putting them in my lounge and kitchen. The smell wafted through the house and smelled amazing all day. I added two drops of tea tree oil into the mix which also helped the slight steam disinfect the air naturally too.
I love the idea of a simmer pot.
They say you can add anything, but some combinations just wouldn’t work, such as the old broccoli florets, shriveled cabbage, and expired garlic powder recipe.
I love your video’s and we are praying for everyone in Maine. ❤
What a blessing to remind me how to stay on top of things. My morning routine is so important for devotions, prayer, and exercise 🙏 I work full time, a care partner for my hubby, and have 2 college students living at home. And so many people just don't understand that my hope and salvation in Christ, and my communication with Jesus is so important 🙏
Congratulations on the birth of your newest granddaughter!
Oh, Leo... so funny and just the most stunning centerpiece!
I painted my basement this week! I have been putting it off for years!!! Hoping to keep the home project motivation going. Folded two loads of laundry while watching your video, so thanks for being such great company.💕
Happy Belated Birthday to Ava! Congratulations on the new grandbaby--may God bless her abundantly. The foliage is just beautiful. You made a great start on the homeschool work and I'm sure you'll get it all sorted shortly. Leo is just providing comic relief. 😀
Hi I am new to your channel. Listening to you talk about the things happening in are world that just breaks are hearts are hard to deal with, I agree that routine is so important to keep me going. I can’t control the sadness in the world but I can control keeping my home and life in order. ❤
Hi Kathy! Welcome! I am so glad you are here! 💐 My routines definitely help me keep going!!
I really enjoy your videos. You are so real. I have to declutter the basement store room. We moved here 2 years ago (downsized a lot) and have so much packed in there. It is dark, damp and gloomy. I keep putting it off but have told myself 1 box a weekend. That's it. then eventually it will get done. Now I need a weekend that I am home and not expecting grandkids (which in reality is almost every weekend). But I hate doing this with my husband because he wants to keep everything "just in case". But his idea of "organizing is piling the boxes on top of each other so they are over my head and of course the heavy ones are on top. We don't work well together, never have and I should have realized this before we got married (second, recent marriage).
So wonderful to hear your testimony! I too am a Christian.
Hope everything is ok ❤
Leo the Supervisor!❤😊 Just like my Tigre when I'm sewing and he lays across my fabric as I'm sewing or cutting. So helpful!!! lolol
Wonderful motivating video as always❤❤🙏🏻
The simmer pot notion is interesting. My parents have a farm, so I always compost those kinds of things. But if someone simmers with these ingredients, they could then compost it and get 2x the use.
But I'd probably put a label on it to tell others if they are not supposed to eat it.
I believe Leo was helping you to make sure you didn't pull any more than needed to the other side. 🤣🤣
I graduated from university in 2017, but still had all my notebooks and stuff. I started decluttering 1 shelf at a time keeping the important parts. I am not done but so gratefull
Congratz. Hope you can see your grandaugher soon 😊
Congrats on the new granddaughter. I loved the whole video, you are so motivating and soothing. I love that you also talk of your love for our Jesus. Thank you Karen!
I had a stink bug crawling on my head the other day!!!!!! I nearly died!!! I love how your husband’s gift is right there in the bag 😂 I can do the same with my husband! Congratulations on your new Granddaughter! 💗
Love a good mystery!
The view outside your window with the leaves falling is so beautiful. It's even better than those cozy fire videos!
My garage is my biggest project. I move stuff around…but I really need to declutter. 😆
You are always motivational Karen. Life is a blessing…even through the ups and downs. 💜
I've used a simmer pot in the past, so nice!! I tend to use essential oil diffusers a lot now. Nice work on the decluttering project. I'm sure you'll get it done soon. It always feel good to get it complete.
You have been on my mind a lot these past few days. My heart is with your entire state. Thanks for the motivation I needed to clean out my hall closet while watching your vlog. Hubby and I are empty nesters and we still manage to fill our dish washer every other day. Dishes and laundry will ALWAYS be our nemesis, right?! Enjoy your visit with your son this week! 😊
I love using a simmer pot to make my home feel cozy! Happy fall 🍂🍁🍂
Yes I loved it too! ❤️
Starting watching this at the same time to motivate me to tidy my room, all done now! Great video! X ❤🌸
Yay!! I loved cleaning with you! 😉🙃
Thank you for all the inspiration and it came at the right time. We are decluttering to downsize and I thought we were doing OK until I went into the loft (attic) and became totally overwhelmed. I'll follow your lead and get back to it tomorrow. Xxxx
Oh I didn’t want your vlog to end today. I so enjoyed it from the simmer pot right through to laundry. Maine is so lovely Karen. It was such a shock to hear of the recent tragedy. Like you say we are all in it together. God bless us all. Thank you for sharing. Hello to Ava. I don’t think I have met her before ! See you next time. 🇬🇧🤓🍁🍂
Thank you so much, Kim! I appreciate your sweet thoughts! 💖
since november is a few days away, i decluttered a few halloween items & i will declutter some christmas.. my arthritis is making it difficult to decorate. but on a good note, got blood work back and my A1c is 5.5. whoo hoo. i've kept in normal range since march 2020. it was 6.9. so its my arthritis, and my eyes , (macular beginning in left, cateract in right) and need to get more weight off. clothes are so expensive. but i will get there. thank you. Love your kitties 🤗🤗💗💗🐈🐈🎃🎃👻👻need prayer for finance for few months. state moved me from disability to early retirement because i turned 62. so nov. will be short by 494.70. in nov. thank you.
Karen, I so appreciate you posting regularly. I really look forward to it.
I /we didn't have home schooling in our area in the very early 70s. Well as a single mom ,I had to work. Most of it worked out fine though.
I don't think I could do what you do. Not really much brain power. I'm more artistic and introverted. I loved being a mom. My son and I are super close, even now and he and his wife have one young child; an absolute joy.
I like your simmer pot idea. Bet it smells great there today.
Cheers
This is a wonderful video.
Thank you very much!😃
Amen. I am a Christian also. I always love your channel. Thanks for posting. Yesterday I cut our grass while my husband cleaned out the car. I haven’t done that in years. It felt so good doing something out of my comfort zone.
Amanda from My Crazy Life does this and leaves the cover off. I am going tomorrow to find a small slow cooker. This Mainer with a very heavy heart needs something comforting.
We have sooo many stink bugs in southeast Wisconsin. They drive my cat crazy too.
Congratulations with your new granddaughter 😘
Thank you so much 😀
Thanks for sharing your testimony!
Helloo Karen, great to see you, I’m loving these more frequent vlogs, you’re one of the very few RUclips channels I watch that during my day I find myself wondering ‘what Karen is doing right now’😂 that’s the influence you have.🥰
Gosh no wonder you had second thoughts during the sort out of that cupboard! I have similar depth units in my craft room and boy it’s like an avalanche when I dump it on to my desk. 😵💫
Great to see Ava,(is that how she spells her name?)
Also many ,many congratulations on the safe arrival of your new Granddaughter!! Joanna(please forgive me if the spelling is wrong!) nothing nicer than a new baby. I hope you get to see her soon🥰❤️
As always my dear friend, much love and light to you. 🥰🥰🥰🥰
I would never empty a big cabinet like you did. It would totally stress me out. I just do one shelf or one drawer at a time. Our kitties are so helpful.
That was the attempt but the shelves are too deep!! 😂
I’m creating a meditation area in my garden. Soft setting lots of bricks as well as doing some clean up in the yard. When things happen like what just happened in your state it’s so heartbreaking I have to keep really busy .
Mrs. Meyer's Apple Cider has become my all-time favorite! 🍎
We also have had the stink bugs in Kentucky. They have been horrible this year. Worse in the spring/summer than right now thankfully. Started back up when the crops were coming in but not nearly as bad as in the summer.
Wind just started picking up in VT. Change is coming... But I still have doors and windows open. I'm late to the party new tires don't go on my truck till the 10th. 😬. Whoops. I need to go clean out the last 2 flower gardens. Congratulations on the grandbaby. Glad mom and baby are both doing good. Well those gardens aren't going to clean themselves. Off to do that.
I hope it goes smoothly for you!! 😍
The falling leaves are magical.
Yes I agree!! 🍁🍁
Catching up with very small projects. I had a handful of items that needed gluing and finally got to them. Then, checking and watering porch plants. Georgia is supposed to have a true cool down next week, so plants will be brought in. It was truly an odds and ends day. I'm always surprised how long such small things can take up so much time.
Hilary at Old World House makes simmer pots.
I’ve seen her before! She’s awesome! 😃
I live in Nova Scotia, Canada. Today we had beach 🏖️ weather which is not normal for this time of year. Now next week maybe snow ❄️
My rose bushes are really confused and blooming again.
Photos and picture piles.... ugh!
Here's what I did....
Last winter I bought a bunch of clear shoes boxes and small envelopes.
I started going through all my photos, starting in the 70's when teen years started and marriage and children came.
Every night I took a box and emptied each envelope. Remember they came with negatives and you would mark the date. Well I threw away the negatives , went through each picture.
Tossing ones that were blurry, dumb, doubles, etc. I put aside the ones that would be more important for my sisters of their kids, etc.
I put them in a new envelope, marking the envelope of the event, the year. Then I put them in the shoebox, filing front to back.
Then I put a lid on the box. Labeled the front with the year.
Done.
Each night I would attack a box.
I also took all the pictures out of frames.
Then I got large manilla envelopes and put each of my childrens (we have 5) school pics in those.
Same with my 9 granddarlings.
Now when they talk about a vacation, Holiday, etc they can just go grab a box and there it should be.
Sorry this is long.... but so was my picture organizing chore!!!
nice one. never heard of a simmer pot before. Do what you can at your own pace.
The house smelled so good!! 😍
@@ThisMainerMom thats good
Hello! I've enjoyed watching your content over time so much...Thank you! I'm just a hop skip over in Nova Scotia and live in a fairly wooded area like yourself. This is not such a positive comment, but am wondering how you're finding the ticks this year! It's now November and they're STILL so bad. I was able to get tested finally for Lyme and it was positive, so I hope you and your family can stay safe and well!
The ticks in Maine are awful. So many people we know have Lyme! I’m so sorry you are struggling with this! We hire someone to clean up the leaves. I try to keep things raked up. It was worse when we had a dog because he would carry ticks inside. So I use precautions and we don’t walk in the woods but it still could happen as it has for you! I pray for healing for you my friend! ❤️
@@ThisMainerMom Thank you so much for caring and I'm so glad you have most of this tick business figured out!! Watching videos like yours is really helpful for keeping me sane in it all! (That and taking Diatomaceous earth! Thank heavens for natural inexpensive means of help!) Looking forward to more of your videos!😌🙏♥
I heard that also about the acorns my daughter in Connecticut said her yard is covered. But someone else said they were so bad last year too and we hardly had any snow. 🤷♀️I’m in Massachusetts and yard is covered with helicopters never seen so many. 😂
Well there’s hope that the acorns are wrong!! 🤣
Leo ever the supervisor. ❤
❤
I hate love bug season. Idk if y’all have them in Maine but it’s like an irony cuz they are far from anything I would love. They basically stick to everything and are hard clean off even with cleaning products.
🥰
🤗
You got so much done! The last little bit should be quick. 😊❤
Thanks! I hope so! 😃
@@ThisMainerMom Welcome! I think it will!
Hi Karen. I was very relieved to know that you and your family are safe. I do have a question, how do I get to your Amazon store?
Here is the kitchen section where the little slow cooker is! www.amazon.com/shop/thismainermom/list/2RAKYCV3L3RM1?tag=onamzthismain-20&ref_=aip_sf_list_spv_ofs_mixed_d
I don't know what I would do without Jesus either! I ❤ your videos. ✝️❤️🙏🏻
Thank you, my friend! 💖
What is your opinion of Consumer Mathematics? I read the reviews and a lot of people said it is outdated. My daughter is in 9th grade and I'm looking for something similar.
❤
❤❤❤❤
❤️
Do you have a po box address would love to send you a Christmas card 😊
Just curious, you buy so many cucumbers. How do you prepare them? Probably a silly question 😊
Not silly at all! My older daughter eats them plain. I like them with vinegar and salt. And then there’s salads of course! 😃
Congratulations to your new grandchild! I bet you long to hold her and sniff her little neck! LoL. I always find a baby's neck smell the sweetest. ❤️
I have old photos from my father that I've gone through once. But I didn't make final decision on all of them. Or how to store the ones I keep. In a box? In an album? My biggest problem is that there are a lot of people in the photos I don't recognize. I need to ask a relative who's older than me if some might be identified.
Please don’t ever regret homeschooling cuz what is being taught in school now is ridiculous. I’m glad the area we live in doesn’t put up with that crap like other states but there are things that they teach now to my grandkids that I question a lot. I personally think Common Core was the most stupidest thing ever invented. Like my husband always says, “If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it”. I still can’t believe they don’t teach cursive here anymore. How are our future generations going to read important documents? Sorry, for my rant.
We lost dear Alan this morning.
I’m so very sorry, Jeanne…I am praying for you!! ❤️
This is your last year homeschooling, right?
Yes! 💃
@@ThisMainerMom Sorry, I've probably already asked that.
