Oh I never thought to use to pull open soda cans My favorite little "extra" kitchen gadget is a standalone frother for my coffee. It's cute and pink, and you can use it to reheat your cup of coffee or tea. It's such a nice upgrade for mornings when I forget my coffee, since microwaving it is unpredictable!
I can hear in your words how much you love your frother! It sounds like a good thing. No more abandoned, half drunk, cold coffee. 😊
@@AthomewithKaren absolutely!!
You're sooo funny. 🤣
Thank you! 😂
You are my favourite person ! Here in very rural Shropshire UK it’s 28C ( please don’t laugh 😆) and I’m upstairs hot, bothered and annoyed trying to put together an underbed drawer 🤔🤬 No idea how to fit a cam lock then …. there you were on CZcams with your straightforward, easy peasy demo. Ta dah I’ve done it in minutes. Thank you 🎇🎇
Definitely not laughing - 28⁰ in the UK is hot! I'm glad I was able to help out a bit. 😊
any update? mine might be too small but i haven't seen a bee land on it ever.
A few spiders lived in it but that's all. I don't think I have the right bees for that type of housing. And it has since fallen apart. 🤷♀ It was cute while it lasted!
I like the tin opener ring pull
That little tool gets a lot of use!
What's your favourite or most useful kitchen tool?
Great video, shows the reality of using this nibbler once you get it home, and the traps to avoid for the average punter. Anyone who's used blunt crappy tin-snips will relate to your elation as it first takes off through the steel. Cheers....!
That first feeling when it starts to "nibble"! 🤣 SO good! Thank you for the lovely feedback.
Ooooh! Sweet video. - I bought one of these off of Aliexpress for my swimming pool. It's cuuuute! But I too hate the fact that it only works in total sunlight and is slow to wake up.
Sounds like you're describing me - cute, likes the sun, slow to wake up! 🤣🤣
I have the exact same fountain but mine came with four plastic see-through straws. Can you put the straws inside the holes around it and what it does is it keeps it from moving around so much. It keeps it centered.
Yes, the newer fountains have those straws. They're a good idea!
It looks like it would be really good at cleaning blinds too! 😊
Yes! I did swoosh it across my venetian blinds and I was surprised at how much dust it removed!
Great for washing walls I reckon.
Definitely! It's quite thick so you'd need to ring it out tight to remove excess water (depending what the wall is made of). I already have a wall mop and it does a good job.
I've purchased 2 different ones from Amazon stating NO China-made, but they sent me China-made anyway. So I tried them and they both failed. Had to fight hard to get my money back. Do you have solar panel fountain bumblers?
No, I don't know what a "solar panel fountain bumbler" is. . . . I imagine everything like this is made in China. That's just how it is.
I love winter! Camping, hiking, being outside and not sweating to death.
Noooo! I like to sweat! 🤣 But yes, it is nice to be able to get outside and do lots of gardening.
That might work well on our ceiling fans. Considering it! Thanks for the info and happy dusting! ✨✨
Happy dusting. 🤣 Not something you get to say very often!
@@AthomewithKaren 🤪😊
What other jobs can you think of to use your rag on a stick?
Its still working mam?
I don't use it all the time. But every time I get it out of the shed and put it in the bird bath, it works fine. 😊
@@AthomewithKaren Ok Thanks 🙏 👍 luv from India,Mumbai
Don’t know how deep that is but be careful because birds can drown in them. You’d be surprised.
I have a lot of large birds that use the baths. There are also shallow bird baths around the garden for smaller birds.
The main thing I don't like is that I have to shovel snow - my least favorite chore! The good thing is NO BUGS!!😏
I'll never have to shovel snow. Is it cheating if I add that to my list of things I like? 🤣
I love winter! I like crunching across the frosty lawn on really cold days. I love that it does get dark earlier - makes me want to snuggle down and 'nest'. Really cold nights have a deep quietness to them which is a huge contrast to summer nights. I love soup, crockpot meals, hot chocolate and good old fashioned winter puds (golden syrup dumplings - yummmm) Just as well I live in Tassie - lol. I hope winter treats you kindly, Karen 😀
We didn't have Winter last year! A couple cold, windy days here and there. But that's all. I didn't even swap from the Summer to the mid season doona! I'm trying to enjoy this Winter as a "novelty". It was nice to feel cooler but the first really bitter day we had (this day I filmed) had me feeling less excited about the rest of the season! 🤣
But your winter is not that bad . 😊
Compared to other places in the world our Winter is amazing! But for us, it's cold!
What do you like about Winter? (I need more ideas to get me through the season!)
The bugs 🪳 disappear 😊
@@monikakamila that's a good one! 🤣 No mosquitoes!
I was watering my plants and a hummingbird came right next to me because he was thirsty so I bought 3 of the same solar fountains
Awww so cute! 😍
Hi Karen can you see what's good for cleaning bathroom tiles thanks Karen.
I'll see what I can do! 👍
Caution! Sharp edges
I thought so, too. But they weren't as sharp as I expected and I didn't cut myself at all.
Thank you for watching. If this video helped you, please click on the thumbs up. 👍
Hi Karen I discovered you on Beautiful Life Sage's channel. I'm flying out to Australia next week so I'll check out your videos. ❤
Hey great! Which part of Oz are you coming to?
@@AthomewithKaren I'm travelling all over flying into Darwin then going to Alice Springs then over to the east coast. I have friends in Gladstone and my son is in Sydney. 😊
@@GoWithHelen Wow! That's some trip! Safe travels and I hope you have an amazing holiday! 😊
I watched this vid because I wasn’t sure about the plastic bases.. and yes they’re completely useless. Even the cheap Kmart S&P I’m replacing fastened to the bottoms… Thanks for the review !
🤣 I know, right! I just stand them in a dish to catch the fallout. Other than that, they're really good.
Thanks Karen , that was nice video. You live in a beautiful area, so wonderful to be near the water, aren't you lucky. Would love to see more . ❤
Thank you ! I can definitely make more like this. Any excuse to get to the beach! 😁
Can it mow dead leaves too?
Just normal ol' leaves fallen from the tree? Sure, it'll chop them up. 👍
Loved joining you on your walk Karen. Beautiful part of the world you live in.
Yes, I'm so lucky to live where I live! 😍 Thank you for the lovely feedback.
Hey everyone! I'd love some feed feedback on the music in this video. When I edit, the volume seems good but when it's uploaded and I watch it on my phone, the music is hard to hear. Is it the same for you?
Sounded great to me!
@@gumnut6697 thank you 😊
Excellent!!!!
It is! 😁
100% agree re eating naughty things Karen. I'm a comfort eater too. One thing I find that works is don't eat a thing after 7pm at night. That's my danger time! Good luck Karen! Keep movin' 🚶♀️➡️🚶♀️➡️💪🏼
That's a bad snacking time for a lot of people. I've found I snack less when I've had plenty of protein.
I appreciate you putting this video out. I’ve been sitting around a lot too. I’ve been in a state of a bit of burnout from life. Although I’m growing a CZcams channel, I’m also working full time as a teacher and taking care of my family. I laughed when you mentioned not wanting to walk past the people! When I’m walking, I don’t want to socialize. I’m with you sister…in the spirit of improving ourselves 💕😊🙏
Burnout. That's the perfect word! We all get it from time to time and it's so important to make time to rest and recover. I recently learned that I'm an Introvert (that was a surprise!) as well as having diagnosed Social Anxiety. It amazing, the lengths I sometimes go to, to avoid people. 🤣
Regular exercise is essential for mind, body and spirit!
walking is a great exercise
Peace man!!!
It's even better walking with good friends! 😁 Although we laugh more than we walk!
@@lynnie60w hahaha you saw that! 🤣🤣🤣
Thanks Karen the goddam cat peed the floor again lol
Oops! 🐈 Hopefully this will fix the smell. Thank you for watching.
