Thank God for dirty dishes, they have a tale to tell. While some are going hungry, we’re eating very well. My prayer is for everyone to have a dirty dish:)

My Mom had that on a plaque in the kitchen for years and she would say/sing that often. Thanks for the good memory trigger :)

My Mother had a little sign that had this quote on it in her kitchen from when I was a little girl. When she passed away in 1986 I received it and it has been hanging in my kitchen since then.

I watched a lady plan a day to do tasks she was putting off for forever. She timed each one like ironing, cleaning out a coat closet etc. She found out not one dreaded task took more than 10 minutes, most took less than 5. She said she talked about the things to do longer than it took to do them🤪 I think we all do that.

Love that! ❤️

This works for me: Next time you have outdated Chili powder, save it to sprinkle in your bird seed in your feeder. (A little goes a long way). Squirrels hate the stuff but it doesn’t affect the birds. I’m going to start doing a Ta-daa list! Great idea, thanks.

I agree with everyone, the wreath is beautiful. Also I agree that hanging the curtains wet (as long as they aren’t dripping). I do this with certain of my with some shirts. And you can google chili powder and birds. It’s painful to mammals. Your viewers are some of the best. We all love your videos.

I definitely need a Ta Da moment. Sometimes as Mom's we don't feel like our efforts are noticed but we go non stop. I enjoyed this video a lot! The wreath is beautiful. I have never seen anything like it!!

Karen after I wash my curtains I hang them up wet I don’t need to iron them unless I put them in dryer give it a try☺️

5:25 I vote for a whole raised bed area along the front side of your deck!!!! I think raised beds work well, less bending too!

That would be awesome! 😎

A Ta Da List! I like that! I do that for the year in major stuff we got done throughout the year like paint the house, got new carpet in main areas if house, planted a garden this spring, got rid of our old truck and etc it’s called 25 before 2025 ( or what eve year is coming up) list but some people make the list of what to do before the new year but I don’t write done what we got done as it get done so I’m not disappointed with the things I didn’t get done for the year.

Karen, your finished wreath looks absolutely gorgeous. 🌸🌺 I really think it will look amazing on your door. Also, you got a good amount of things done today, and you were really proactive. Great job, I think you are really getting your energy and motivation back. It showed in your smile and sense of accomplishment and on your Ta Daaa! list too. Finally, the seaside decor looked really nice in your dining room. 😊

Karen!!!!! The wreath is beautiful!!!!!!! It was nice to see you so excited over your Ta Da! List!

My goodness , what a gorgeous wreath!!

Your French braid is so pretty! Your Ta Da list was long and it's wonderful to see you celebrate the wins, especially after watching your video about how comparison was getting you down.

I just love that planter and the way you are using it. I may show hubby and try on our new proprty...

The wreath is beautiful. Love the beach decor too. Take care❤

I put a goal list of things I hope to get done in that month since they’re bigger projects. Been repairing fence around pasture and cutting back or cutting out junk trees that have grown behind pasture. Today I did just the usual chores here and for now just relaxing watching your video

Your wreath is beautiful ❤🇨🇦

Don't forget sorting , arranging, and storing your Optivia for your Ta - Daaa list. This video should also count, as it takes time out of your day.

I put my nightgown under my pillow during the day

Things you forgot on your Ta Da List: - Put away Optivia foods - restocked Optivia foods in sidebaord - decorated sideboard - tidied up bedroom piles - ran the dishwasher

Hi Karen! Was your deck Redwood?

I don’t do lists usually that’s just me but do what you can when you can if it doesn’t get done today there usually always tomorrow

Hi Sarah! That’s why TA DA lists are so good you write down at the end of the day what you got done not what needs to be done. This way if you feel like you didn’t get much done you soon realize you actually got a lot done. I do same as you do too though what ever doesn’t get done today can be done tmrw. I call it my options list,

I was going to say that too. The peanut butter leaves an oily residue, so use liquid dish soap to get that out. ( If you give a mouse a cookie….)

Get your eyes checked and let them know about the spot you saw. It could be something minor but you don’t want to wait
