Leo is so cheeky but you can't be mad at that face. I talk about my cats like they're human too haha. Love watching you organise everything. I need to declutter my bathroom vanity!
Since you have plenty of room in that new drawer unit, why not assign yourself and Robin separate drawers dedicated to the things you use? That way you won't use his toothbrush by mistake. Also, I'd put the new drawer unit between the sinks and stash the cleaning products in the closet, since you'll use the items in the drawers daily and the cleaning products less often.
With my garbage cans I put a few extra bags on the bottom of the can so when you take out the full bag, there is a fresh bag right there! One less thing under the sink or in the floor!
I love your cats, my own cat Guinness had to be put to sleep last March, I miss him so much. My neighbours cat is part feral but likes to come in and curl up on the sofa beside me, she has been a great comfort and has the loudest purr ever !
Thank you for the motivation! I got my tall cabinet in my bathroom sorted out this morning. A bag went to the trash can and much more to be donated. Plan on much more soon.
Hey Karen! Thanks for sharing. I was wondering if you have considered switching to a single sink vanity? The cost savings might be fairly significant since you wouldn't need a second sink, faucet or mirror and you would gain more storage. When I had double sinks it just seemed like more to clean. Haha. Best of luck to Robin. Slow and steady wins the race!
Love your talk about extending grace to our husbands and children when we want something done right now and that they set a timer and when the time is up they’re done, is a great idea.
YES for one drawer per person and extra drawer for tp, extra tissue box, extra qtips, etc, and small 1st aid kit in case you need a bandaid upstairs. Cleaning products caddy in linen closet. Putting extras in drawer will make the bathroom look more tidy and less to clean. :)
Great job! You got a lot sorted. I agree with other comments, you and Robin should each have a separate draw in that 3 draw cabinet. Then you’ll never get your things mixed up (toothpaste and brushes etc). Then you can used the bottom draw for shampoos, body wash and soaps. I also agree keeping your cleaning caddy in the closet on the shelf with your cleaners is a better idea, because that way nothing is on the new bathroom floor except the bin, and it will make cleaning the new floor much easier and also it will get scratched far less. If I had a linen closet I wouldn’t keep my cleaners on the floor, but then I only use the five I mentioned the other day, so it’s not too much of a compromise (the tiny cleaning rack and bin are all that’s on my bathroom floor). I love how you talked about extending grace and the enablement of slow living to others, although I also know it is hard when a project someone starts goes on and on and never seems to have an end date in sight. I find that’s where gently nudging to get things going after long pauses and compromises has to prevail. It’s hard when each person has differing ideas as to goals and timeframes though, isn’t it?! I think it’s amazing how you and Robin support each other, give each other grace and compassion.
Hi! Will look beautiful with a new floor. Great job of Robin. Have one drawer for each and everyone it's the easiest. Keep up the great job Karen. Take care❤
There is nothing better than a freshly cleaned and organized bathroom with just the things you actually need - isn´t it? I wouldn´t put deodorant and hairstuff with my thooth care. Other than that I like what many others suggested - to give each of you a drawer of it´s own. (And when there is more room you can seperate the toothbrushes more easyly - from hairy combs.) 🙃
Oh Karen please don’t cut your lovely hair. Just a trim. It’s so natural and so suits you. Great job on the bathrooms. Almost done. Thanks for sharing. 🤓👍🏼
I’m kind of surprised with this bedroom switcharoo. If I was 17 and I was given my own bedroom I would have had my stuff moved and organized ASAP. I know it’s a big job though.
The best part about moving everything is getting spaces like the bottom of the closet cleared out and given a clean, fresh (re)start. ✨
So true! 😎

It sure gets untidy quickly here!

You have so much energy. I wish you were my neighbor. Your family is so sweet.
Thank you! I would enjoy that too! 😃

Just an idea. One drawer in the new unit for robin, one for you and the bottom drawer for the cleaning products.

I'd put cleaners in linen closet.
"How many more years will I be able to outsmart my cat?" 🤣😂 So exciting that Robin was able to begin on the floor!
I truly wonder! 😂

Hi!
Will look beautiful with a new floor. Great job of Robin.
Have one drawer for each and everyone it's the easiest.
Keep up the great job Karen.
Take care❤
Thank you! 😃
Put cleaning caddy in closet
Agree. It would look much better hidden away along with Lysol wipes on top of toilet.
Nice job ! So excited for you to get your floor done 😊❤
The housekeepers at the hospital I worked at put the extra garbage bags at the bottom of the can, so they were always there and out of sight
I love your videos and how kind and positive you are! God bless you and your family, Karen!
Thank you so much, Kirsten! God bless you and your family as well!! 🌷
I am working on slow living and I agree with you that it’s just going at a calmer pace and being more intentional.
💞
You sure have been working hard ❣️
I’m sure trying!! 😃
Just wanted to say I really enjoy your videos 😊
Thank you so much! I appreciate that encouragement! 😃
Thanks for the motivation❤
Thank you so much! This is so generous of you! ❤️
All that you can do is your best and that's good enough Doing a great re organising ❤❤
Thanks!
I put my plunger in lining closet and/or laundry room.
Could you make it work with one sink? Ordering Custom is so expensive
I can. I just hate to go from 2 to 1 but it may have to happen!
Cool! ❤
❤️
New tiles will look a million $.

When I broke my leg a long time ago, I would scoot down the stairs on my bum just like the shelving unit lol.
It’s amazing what we will do when we have to!! 💪
Karen can u talk about your cordless vac? I’m in the market for one, Tks
Sure😃
Leo Leo one thing at a time one day at a time
He’s a crazy boy!! 😹
just a thought, maybe use a sharpie to write their names of who it belongs to. instead of back n forth, is this yours?....
Painting the toilet paper wooden boards white.....
Oh Karen please don’t cut your lovely hair. Just a trim. It’s so natural and so suits you. Great job on the bathrooms. Almost done. Thanks for sharing. 🤓👍🏼

@@ThisMainerMom oh i’m so glad. your hair is your crowning glory it is so natural and pretty. x
@KimMacb thank you!
My tooth brush is pink or purple
Hubbies is blue.

I know it’s a big job though.
Lots of behind the scenes situations that I can't talk about...♥️
Hope everything is okay. Love to watch your videos
