Look at Robin he is killin' it as always and look at him even placing the camera. He is such a blessing and so glad you have such a wonderful supportive partner in your life.
Karen, it’s nice to see you are almost done with the main parts of your switch around. The former dining room looked very tidy and it will be really nice to see your fall decorations displayed in there again this year. I like how you display your decor as it looks super pretty, and also because you reuse things, you don’t over decorate with too much stuff, and don’t get caught up in that excessive over buying merely for the dopamine hit that so many influencers do. As someone else suggested you should check out the underconsumption core trend. I love it, as a minimalistic person myself. I think if more people adopted this outlook the planet would be in better shape both resources wised and reduced pollution/waste wise. Personally, I hate it when influencers don’t realise that buying lots of cheap plastic bits just contributes to mass overconsumption and is bad for the environment. Anyway, thank you for giving us all an updated tour of the girls rooms, they both looked super pretty. The porch walk-in wardrobe area looked fairly well arranged too, if a little overcrowded. I couldn’t believe how many lotions and sprays the girls have, it seemed a bit excessive to me; but each to their own. That said, I had to remind myself that all your girls are of an age where experimenting with products is especially fun. Btw Robin did a great job getting the rug moved to the bedroom, it’ll be so nice when you have your make-up area set up and your desks finally organised as you want them. Regards your Optivia food, I have noted that in recent times, you and Robin seem so much less enthusiastic about it than you used to be. Does this mean that whilst transitioning from the strict diet program to a mixed program including ordinary foods, that you are finding it far harder to appreciate the Optivia program than you used to? I say this because my mum (when she was still with us) and several of her friends tried many similar diet programs in the past and all of them found that either they couldn’t stick to them long term or they didn’t work when reintroducing ordinary food back into the plan. So I wondered if you’d be willing at some point to talk about what your current feelings are regards this type of dieting, given that you have actually followed a program off and on for quite a while now. However, if this is difficult because you are still coaching the Optivia plan and don’t wish to, I perfectly understand.
I'm glad you decided to split switcharoo from fall decorate immediately! You will have more bandwith to play and enjoy with the decorate and it means more video for me to watch that I love! ❤🍁🍂
Karen,you used the Swiffer dry mop for the top of your bathroon/laundry cabinet. If you have a long-handled duster, you might not need it, but you did use it recently. Also, it is good for dusting/cleaning your walls with the dry mop pads.
Your girls rooms & dining room are looking great! You have made great strides! I am working on things in my home also. Inside & out. Got a dead tree cut down today..not myself of course. It looks better. Went grocery shopping. ❤😊
I hear your frustration with the Optivia foods. I feel this way about the coolers in my office/"garage"/2nd bedroom. It's there. It isn't perfect. It is still mostly how it was from my trip in August, but I haven't had the spoons yet to tackle it because other projects have come up with higher immediacy and importance. It's ok. We will get there eventually. I keep thinking to myself some potential suggestions of someday, it could work to have them in your buffet, but maybe a little drawer type organizer could work inside your kitchen island? There is some vertical space in there where I think you could have it move back downstairs at least instead of under your bed. Or maybe the dream would be a chunk in your pantry. You say you want to store less food, and if there is less space, it forces you to store less naturally. But it's ok. God helped you work out the solution with your daughter's bedrooms, He can certainly help you with this too.
Karen I know you enjoy trend-watching, have you been watching the underconsumption core stuff? It seems to fit your lifestyle. I love watching this switcharoo series.
You need to make a space in the house for strictly you to have some down time and peace. I know you don’t have a lot of space in the house but if you don’t make some for yourself it’s only going to keep raising your anxiety.
Look at Robin he is killin' it as always and look at him even placing the camera. He is such a blessing and so glad you have such a wonderful supportive partner in your life.
Kudos!! Yes switching rooms is like moving to a new house. Yes good way to go through everything! 👍👍👍
I think you should bring back the dining table, so useful to have a table and chairs.
You did a great job decluttering today. And, I love your eye make up today.
Thank you! 😃
Y'all were such busy bees! The girls' rooms are looking great.
Thanks!! 😃
Oh Karen the girls rooms look great. You were so busy again today, but it's really coming together.
Cheers

You're so right!! ♥️
Well done Karen.
And the girls rooms are so cute.
Keep up the good work👏.
Take care❤
Always so much to do... it's like that Head & Shoulders commercial, "Never not working!"
Yes absolutely!!
You got a lot done again. I’m sure the girls are enjoying their rooms❣️
I like the way you did your hair in this video. Very attractive
@colettenewell4634 Yes, in the last videos, she has changed her makeup, too.
Karen, you look SO good now. Pretty before, even prettier now.
Thank you! 😃
🥰😘
I have all day Thursday to work on my home and garden! We did a much smaller room switch last week. You are looking beautiful ❤
Happy Thursday and thanks so much sweet friend!! 😃

Karen, I'm fuzzy about what the Dining Room will be used for?
Me too!
@@ThisMainerMom LOL
@@carolynoquinn4573 I hope she put back the table and chairs if they still miss them. 😊
Love it 💖
Thank you! 💞
Karen I know you enjoy trend-watching, have you been watching the underconsumption core stuff? It seems to fit your lifestyle. I love watching this switcharoo series.
Thanks and I haven't! I'll check that out, thanks! ♥️
❤❤❤❤
Do you have a Dollar Tree store near you? They have the best organizing bins ❤
Near enough! 😃
❤
Progress! How does everyone like their new rooms?
You need to make a space in the house for strictly you to have some down time and peace. I know you don’t have a lot of space in the house but if you don’t make some for yourself it’s only going to keep raising your anxiety.
Why did y’all leave the other rug there?
We didn’t. You just didn’t see him move it. One is a rug and one is the pad for under the rug. 😀
@@ThisMainerMom ok that makes sense. I thought that was that but wasn’t sure
I understand low calorie food but if you eat it ON TOP of regular meals it doesn’t make sense- I’m confused 🤔
@nbig860 she switches out some of her regular meals with the Octivia.
I don’t eat it on top of regular meals.
@@ThisMainerMom oohhh- I was trying to figure out what you did for meals because I only see snacks in your optivia. So you have a shake as your meal?
@nbig860 I have an Optavia oatmeal that I usually have for breakfast and I usually have their soup for lunch. 😊
@@ThisMainerMom I get it now-thanks 👍
