Yes, the red Christmas top and lipstick really brighten you up! You look great. Icon needs some type of container to corral her meds etc. My best advice for everyone is stop throwing things on the floor. If you don’t throw things on the floor- you don’t have to bend over and pick them up!
I love it when you help sort and clean up your kids rooms, etc.. I have chosen to do this for one of my adult children when they need a helping hand and I never regret it. It’s good for my soul ❤😘❤️
Poor thing, Ivon. I know what she's going through. It happened to me. I had all day sickness for almost 5 months of my pregnancy. It was very rough which is why I only had one child. The ONLY thing that worked for me was ice water and cold carrots. I did use the transdermal ear patches along with that but I lived off cold raw carrots and ice water for 5 months. Prayers for you Ivon for comfort and restoration during your pregnancy and prayers for strength for you Karen. You're such a good mom. Love just love your channel and your sweet family. Ty so much for sharing your journey with us. Blessing to you all 🙏🏼
My poor daughter (almost 24) is in a bad state right now so I'll probably be helping her with laundry and cleaning in her room too. She just started her first week at a new job even though it seems like she's got pneumonia (going to get checked tomorrow), plus another wisdom tooth is on the move and causing pain. She's being passed along to more and more specialists before they can remove them because the nerves are in a tricky spot. Life will just throw everything at you at once sometimes!
I think I wouldn't rush the decision on the rocking chair. Ivon may enjoy it when she's got her baby. Sitting there must be very soothing. Take care xxxx
I love the song "The Christmas Song" (Chestnuts roasting on an open fire), gives me a cozy feeling every time I hear it. Or "Let it snow!"... Love the old Hollywood movie songs.
Karen the present wrapping idea looked lovely, and I think it is like anything the more we do something the more proficient we get at doing it. The spray decoration made it look very finished, but stick on bows would also look nice too. I think the pumpkin pie recipe looked very yummy. It was nice of you to help Ivon clean her room again. I think it might help if Ivon had her own dedicated laundry basket permanently in her room to contain all her dirty clothing in one spot. That would prevent the need to bend down to the floor, save time collecting the clothes, reduce the risk of her slipping on stuff (especially as Ivon’s baby gets bigger), make it easier to see how much stuff needs to be washed; and easier to carry it all to the washing area. It might also be an idea to save the extra rocking chair as Ivon can use it as her nursing chair later. Finally, why not move her make-up table next to her bed and get rid of the small bedside table. That way, if Ivon reduces the toiletries and creams on the top even more, she would have a wider surface area to put things on within easy reach from her bed. You could then get her a small, deep two tier spinning Lazy Susan to fit on top nearest her the bed itself, one layer for her medicine and the other for any small hand/face lotions, face spray, tissues, lip balm etc she needs within easy reach; freeing up even more space. There would still be room for her lamp. She could then put the rest of her bigger creams, shampoos, toiletries in a caddy or smallish plastic box and place it underneath the table/stool.
Definitely don’t let those silly folks keep you from doing lives. It seems to be a commonplace nuisance these days but you handle it so well. Loving the Christmas music!

I have been known to go help my grown son - single dad clean his house - mama does windows and cleans things he doesn’t think about
You played my favorite carol today! I love “Oh Come all ye Faithful”!!
Yay! 😃
Sending wishes for good health to Ivon. She will be so happy when the sickness goes away and she will be able to enjoy her pregnancy a little bit.
Thanks so much!! 😃
Sometimes Mom just has to lend a hand :). Continued prayers for nausea relief for Ivon and back relief for you. Thanks for sharing the wrapping tip.
Thanks so much for praying! 🙏🏼
Red looks good on you ❤
Oh thank you! 😃
Poor Ivon! I hope she gets to feeling much better soon. Helping our kids is okay when they are struggling...or just because!

Don't let the wackos ruin your live streams! We all know they are out there, and can IGNORE them.

I’ve been enjoying your videos so much! Thank you for the motivation and Christmas spirit! ❤
Loving the holiday music! I watch tiny home videos and I've seen were they have a crib/dresser/changing table combo, might work for the new baby.
Yummy pie & enjoyed your clean & wrap hack!❤😊

Ooh, I’m going to try maple syrup instead of sugar in my pumpkin pie next week that really takes it up a notch!
You were doing some whisky business there with those eggs. 😂😂😂
Great video Karen, as always.❤
🤣😂🤣
Are there any shelves for the Squishmallows?
Not yet!
❤
Hope Iwon feels better soon.
The rocking chair will be perfect for Iwon and the baby.
Take care❤
8:59 y’all will definitely use the rocker when the baby comes !
Greetings!
Hello! ❤️
Have you ever listened to " Green sleeves" it's a Christmas song my husband loves❤ I found the record to give to him❤
Yes! That was hugely popular when I was young!
Isn't Ivon the one that had like 42 pairs of sweats/athletic pants?
Yep!
@@ThisMainerMom LOL
Are you guys planning to rearrange rooms again when the baby comes?
Not immediately but anything is possible!
It Wasn’t His Son, sawyer Brown version. Usually draws tears every time.
