    I liked watching this basement tiny tidy, reset. It is interesting that even after all your major decluttering, you are still finding little bits and pieces to declutter. I think moving the bedding and sleeping bags higher up off the floor was a great move. Maybe whilst your energy levels are low, doing the photo’s, like you said for 10-15 minutes a day would be a good project to tackle. Why not fill a small box with a few photos each day and take them upstairs to go through. I think you could probably empty half one of those big boxes in a week, maybe more, if you did that. To motivate you, try thinking about how much space those photo boxes are taking up and the amount of time wasted, not to mention back pain resulting from moving them around the basement floor. I generally find that these are the types of projects most of us procrastinate over, so why not make a video taking about that to help others?

      Fun to watch. For all the outdoor chairs, you might think of a tall outdoor garage can with wheels so you could just wheel them out to the fire. You more than likely would need two. God's Peace and Love. Prayers to all.

    Hellooo Karen, firstly I’m so very sad at the news, my very first thought was I hope Karen and her family are safe. Beyond awful what some people can do to others😢
    Great to see the basement again, amazes me that there’s always more to declutter, same in our home.
    Seeing you chop up the mince reminded me I have a great tool for that, got it on Amazon, it’s bit like a paddle and really makes light work of separating up minced meat, I use it every time I cook mince so it’s not one of those ‘sit at the back of the drawer tools’😅
    As always Karen, wonderful to see you and much love and light to you too.🥰🥰🥰🥰

    It's looking great as usual, Karen. I love that you have a cash register in your basement. glad that you are sharing recipes. I have found that unless I'm eaging a cheese burger, I only like relly lean ground beef. something about the smell of it cooking with the fat in it, it just doesn't smell good to me. Plus I feel like the leaner ground beef has more beefy flavor which i know sounds crazy. I love recipes like that were you make them in one pot. Looks lish.

But I need to organize some things first so that I don´t have a total mess all winter. I´m on fall break for one week - I´m going to visit my daughter. See you soon. 😁

    Karen, you're basement declutter and organization is my favorite. You did very well.
    The folding chairs are one of those things that are super useful, if you need them.
    We have them too, but sadly those family gatherings are happening less and less often the older we get. Still we're both loth to get rid of them, JUSTIN CASE.
    silly, but true. I think I'll try one more time.
    The cauliflower dish looked quite delicious. Thanks for sharing.

    Get progress once again! Organizi g declutter takes lots of passes and tweaks. Just a thought when you are ready for photos...you could set up a table or two as a work space down there. A go to place to spend a little time regularly sorting and tossing. That way you can leave it if interrupted, ect. I find paperwork and photos are good projects for winter months (after holidays).

    We have been eating Hello FResh for a couple of weeks now. The recipes are good, but now I want to get back into keto I have a hard time finding meals. More than half of the meals here are vegetarian, that would be a problem if they didn't substitute the meat for carbs. I have been looking for meat meals where I could leave the carbs and have enough left to eat. Maybe having some extra grounded beef and cauliflower rice in the fridge would be a good idea, so I could make a bit of this dish on the side.
