🔴 About me.
G'day everyone, I'm Karen, an Aussie woman with a short attention span who likes to do a lot of different things. I'm in my 50s, happily single, and absolutely love the life I have created for myself.
If I'm not in my little office making CZcams videos, you'll find me in the garden, at the beach, or out walking for fun and fitness.
I live with Fibromyalgia and Social Anxiety. It's not a secret, I just don't talk about it very often.

    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 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!

    • @AthomewithKaren

      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 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 😀
