Thank you for all your time & sharing home tips, I loved your message of encouragement at busy Christmas time & simplifying things, your baking cookies was so fun, I can’t imagine baking 100’s of cookies & mailing them either! Shows i like are Virgin River, When calls the Heart, Heartland,& on RUclips Abode, Hotel inspector, I hope your back is getting better 🤶💕⛄️
Great house reset, you got a lot done. Glad you cleaned your tub and got all the shampoo bottles outta there. Maybe remind the girls again to put stuff away after they’ve finished using it, out of respect for you if for no other reason. Are you going to buy a matching sink for the other connection in the bathroom and put two mirrors on the wall? If that is your plan, then I’d buy the matching one soon; as stores have a habit of discontinuing items after short periods of times these days, and you might find in the new year/new season that they no longer stock the matching one you need anymore. Regards washing up, it is so quick to wash dishes by hand. We always wash up immediately after eating anything, so I never really have dishes piling up anywhere, but then there is only Roger and me. We take it in turns with dinner dishes, one of us cooks and the other washes up afterwards. At breakfast and lunch we wash our own items up straight away. We wash each thing under the tap, then rinse, so nothing sits in a bowl full of water either. For new Christmas movies for 2024: “An Almost Christmas Story” is a sweet little stop motion animation that is fun. “The Best Christmas Pageant Ever” a faith based film of the traditional Christmas kind with Judy Geer. “Hot Frosty” rom-com about a woman who brings a snowman to life two years after the death of her husband stars Lacy Chambers.
When I was growing up we used to save all the dishes, pans etc. until after dinner and then usually my mom would wash everything and one of us three kids and my dad would do the drying. It never took more than 10 minutes and was actually really fun with the three of us chatting while getting it done. All of us kids used to have a rotating task each day, either drying dishes, vacuuming the living room or setting the table for dinner, might be worth a try… My husband and I still don’t have a dishwasher by choice, it’s such a small task I feel and I would rather have the cupboard space than a dishwasher taking up valuable space 😊❤
I buy gifts from Amazon and have them sent to me so I can wrap and package (to make it more personal). If I was short on time or funds, I would definitely skip that step. I weigh the pkg at home and then purchase the postage online. I can either request a pickup or just drop at the post office. Not hard, just one trip. YES! So important to prioritize for various reasons.
I did get a gift last week from my sister. It was a sun catcher with a cardinal and a picture of our Mom who is in heaven. I will be getting some gifts in the mail Monday.😅
I grew up with dishwashers but now I haven't had one since 2019. With my food allergies, I haven't found a dishwasher safe soap that won't bother me too. My boyfriend says they aren't worth it at all, but my dad says a dishwasher saved his marriage many times over. And after doing the dishes for Thanksgiving, my boyfriend was shocked how many utensils my family goes through to cook one meal and I think he understood for the first time.
Congratulations on new grandchild best gift from God I'm mother of 2 daughter and grandma of 4 granddaughters i was their daycare till they all grown up 2 left in high school . The movie I think the movie you are talking about is called JACK FROST with Michael Keaton that was great Christmas movie. I loved it.watch it very year.HAVE A WONDERFUL MERRY CHRISTMAS . WITH YOUR FAMILY THIS YEAR !!!! I LOVE YOUR CHANNEL.
You got so much done! I hope Robin and your daughter had a safe trip home. I hand wash dishes. We originally had a dishwasher in this home, but (and I realize this is odd) it was much harder for me to keep the kitchen under control with the dishwasher. So, when a new replacement very quickly died I opted to turn the dishwasher space into storage which was much more valuable to me in our tiny kitchen.
I hope your dishwasher is repaired soon because the stress of a child moving back home plus the upcoming holiday is enough to deal with and a lot of extra dishes!
With just the two of us I fill up the dishwasher throughout the day and run the dishwasher every night and empty it first thing in the morning. No dishes on the counter!!! I hand wash pots and pans immediately after the meal.
Nice reset. Vacuuming the mattress is a good thing. It was neat hanging out with you todsy. Tomorrow I'm doing my Christmas cards, so I can send them on monday morning. Cheers
I also tend to listen to something or watch a rerun of something when I’m doing dishes and cleaning up my kitchen. I use my little iPad and just drag it all over my house with me.
I have various types of arthritis, fibromyalgia and lupus so lot of pain and inflammation. So strange I have pain in both feet now as well instead of heat use ice does me so much better than the heat. Maybe you've tried icing but if not maybe this would help. You and I have so many of same complaints I also have a busted knee ugh! So enjoy your videos never miss any of them. You're a great RUclipsr Miss Karen!♥️😊
First of all , I have a new Whirlpool dishwasher & I love it. There’s only a few little things we have to hand wash. Second, I’m going to watch “ While You Were Sleeping “ tonight. It’s a good Christmas movie. I’ve been working on my grocery list for the non-perishable food I’ll need for the 24th & 25th. I wrapped a couple of presents today and ordered two some gifts for my Grandsons (they were delayed in giving me their Xmas requests)
Sweet Karin, if at all possible stay in this bedroom. You do not need all the bother of moving again. The kids can trade if need be and do it themselfs. I'm only thinking of you and Robin.
I second that! I’m still trying to wrap my head around where you are sleeping everyone for the holidays! I only buy LLBean flannel sheets -the super deluxe ones. I use them year round yes even in summer. I like the ac on but like not having the chilly draft on me. In Freeport Bean has a discount building. Basically has items that are returned. I always stop there when I’m over for a visit. Anyhoo this last pair of sheets lasted 4 years. I just ripped a hole in the bottom sheet the week before the new ones came. I buy two flat queen sheets. I found the bed stays made better and I’m no longer fighting the fitted sheet coming off. Yes more expensive to buy up front but seriously well worth the cost having lasted 4 years used every day. I just wash and put back on the bed. Is a road trip to Freeport in your future? ❤ ps Bean always has Black Friday discounts also on spring prime days. Pss Walmart has bed pillows still on Black Friday sale. The serta extra firm are around $8 each. ❤
My dishwasher died last year, and I am so over having to do dishes by hand. I have been using the dead dishwasher as the drying rack. After fixing the leaking fauset for the third time. I just needed to replace it. Couldn't get to it right away, so I spent three weeks turning the water off and on to the whole house to take showers and flush toilets. Still need to replace the chrome valves but need clean my house desperatly. Oh the joys of home ownership! 😺
We watch Matlock and we love it. Also haven’t watched much of Hallmark, because I am watching RUclips videos instead 😂it’s okay you all are helping keep my home tidy , I love that much better ❤
I’ve had a dishwasher for twenty years now. I love having a dishwasher. But, I tend to wash them before loading them into the dishwasher. I like setting it to sanitize cycle to end the washing cycle. I do have quite a few things I don’t put into the dishwasher.
I wonder if you’re talking about the Netflix frosty movie. If so, I enjoyed it. They leaned into the cheesy, kind of poking fun. These aren’t Christmas but over the weekend I rewatched both Enola Holmes movies, I really enjoyed those.
I’m paranoid about running low on cat littler. Unscented clumping. I usually get it at the local feed store. But, it’s so back ordered I’ve had to try different brands. Amazon will ship it. That helps too.
I think your mattress topper filling is shedding through the top layer. It looks like they filled it with sand like particles and they’re coming up through the top layer of fabric.

Just binge watched some episodes I missed. ❤
Thanks so much for spending your time with me!! 🥰🤗

You had a busy day Karen- hope you had some rest to.
I too write list.
Take care❤

Thanks so much!! It’s wonderful you were able to let go of the dishwasher and utilize the space! 🙂
You make homemaking relatable - I can’t watch perfect women cleaning perfect homes lol- I have doors you can’t open without something falling out lol
Haha! I bought THAT t-shirt!!
I love doing a house reset! Feels so good and helps me function! We do have a dishwasher and I love it! Happy weekend! 😍
Happy Weekend! ❤️
We’ve never had a dishwasher. I wash the dishes and my husband drys and puts away 😊
I hope your dishwasher is repaired soon because the stress of a child moving back home plus the upcoming holiday is enough to deal with and a lot of extra dishes!

I've never had a dish washer but my husband jumps in and helps
Beautiful!! 😍
i think it's dryer lint, bc it can't fluff all the way out in the dryer and those dusty bits don't get caught by the lint trap
Great job!
We watch Matlock and we love it. Also haven’t watched much of Hallmark, because I am watching RUclips videos instead 😂it’s okay you all are helping keep my home tidy , I love that much better ❤
I am beginning to get into the sub plot! So glad you are here with me! 😄
Hi neighbor , hope you have an amazing weekend. Rest and relax if you can, you deserve it 💜💜
Thank you!! I hope you have a great weekend too! 😄
I’ve had a dishwasher for twenty years now. I love having a dishwasher. But, I tend to wash them before loading them into the dishwasher. I like setting it to sanitize cycle to end the washing cycle. I do have quite a few things I don’t put into the dishwasher.
I love Murder In A Small Town. Occasionally, we've been revisiting Psych reruns.
We used to watch Psych as a family. I miss those days!!
You seem to have a nice set up in your bedroom, I hope you get to keep it😂
😊❤
Mending the hole in the sheet would make it last longer. I enjoy your videos.
I wonder if you’re talking about the Netflix frosty movie. If so, I enjoyed it. They leaned into the cheesy, kind of poking fun. These aren’t Christmas but over the weekend I rewatched both Enola Holmes movies, I really enjoyed those.
Yes that is the one I meant! 😃
I love the Enola Holmes movies too!
I’m paranoid about running low on cat littler. Unscented clumping. I usually get it at the local feed store. But, it’s so back ordered I’ve had to try different brands. Amazon will ship it. That helps too.
You two need a King Size bed!
I love tofu
I think your mattress topper filling is shedding through the top layer. It looks like they filled it with sand like particles and they’re coming up through the top layer of fabric.
Oh that makes sense, thanks!! 😃
Who sings the song in the video?
Sweetie, why didn’t you put the dishes back in the dishwasher to air dry? Your counter would be less cluttered
Don’t sweat the kitty litter. I’ve gone 3 days without cleaning it and it didn’t even stink 😂.
That was a busy day. I do better with a list, too.
That’s your sheets
Phew!! 🤪😂
I have a dish washer, me
Nice reset. Vacuuming the mattress is a good thing.
It was neat hanging out with you todsy. Tomorrow I'm doing my Christmas cards, so I can send them on monday morning.
