    Your children and husband are so blessed to have you. You seem like an absolutely marvelous wife/mother.

    I used to think I was old fashioned, but what people (and even I used to) think of as "old fashioned" is quite normal and timeless. Thank you Jennifer for all you do.

      That's a very lovely thought. My mom calls me a "throw back" and others say "an old soul." But I enjoy timeless. 💙

    “Let your homemaking be a meditation in loveliness.” I wrote that in my Commonplace book ❤️

    I notice that all these beautiful moms and wives that show homemaking to be the solemn lovely job it is are believers! That says something about our God and how He enables us to fulfill our roles with excellency. Great video

    I wear really light nail color as well, Jennifer. I think it looks very French chic. I love your singing, Jennifer. My Mother used to sing hymns to us when we were toddlers. How Great Thou Art, Amazing Grace, and others. She was a woman of deep prayer and faith and I miss her so much! She was my everything, but she died on March 14, 2019. Yoour video today somehow reminded me of her because of your gentle way of caring for your children. I feel good about all the time I spent with her as an adult as I was always aware that I wouldn't have her forever. I wish more people would be appreciative of women and everything they do for the emotional heath of humanity! I'm not saying all women or all Mothers are perfect, but I think society of demeans women and that just isn't right.

    Oh how beautiful are the feet of those who bring the good news ! Jennifer you do just that ❤️. Homemaking is a gift that you remind us of! You singing at the end brought me to tears...so much beauty in this video. Thank you!

    This is a lovely video! It has encouraged me today. I have been struggling with my homemaking lately and discouraged as well in trying to keep up with cleaning, cooking, and taking care of 5 children. What a sweet way to end the video too! You have a beautiful voice!

      Danielle Jones How I envy you your 5 children. I know it seems hard at times, but children really are a blessing.
      My daughter recently lost her third baby, a beautiful little boy, after having 2 health boys.
      So take heart, you are very blessed 💕

    This is one of your best videos yet, I love the homemaking series. I just made my first loaf of sourdough bread today. In my opinion you instill the principle that happiness is homemade and emphasize our important role as women in a beautiful manner . Blessings from Romania.

    @kgold5962 4 ปีที่แล้ว

    Beautiful! Yes, I agree 100%. Homemaking is an art. And I have been blessed to be a homemaker for over 30 years. I quit my job in mortgage banking when my first child was born and never went back. There were many years of gardening, homeschooling, baking bread, canning peaches, baking granola and more. Now I'm an empty nester and still enjoy working in my home.

    This is the most incredibly beautiful video, Jennifer! Thank you so much for making it and sharing it with us. It’s absolutely inspiring. 💗 And I adore the ending. I used to sing to a baby boy I babysat as a teenager, dreaming of one day singing to my own babies. It’s now part of almost every night. 🎶💗

    Hi Jennifer, I love your videos! I love that you remind us to enjoy the moments of our day. Singing to your baby is just so precious, when your children grow up that’s what you miss. At least I did, my grands are almost too old except my granddaughter who is 4 will let me every once in awhile!! Your bread looks so yummy 😋. Thank you for sharing part of your week with us. ❤️

  • @cozyk8tea

    We are an Italian family and believe strongly in family. We moved my almost 90 year old independantly minded mother-in-law into our home last before she was in a lock down situation due to Covid 19. She has moderate dementia and so does not fully asp the seriousness of our present world.Sometimes doing the right thing is very hard. But it's still the Right thing to do. The Lord will give us strength and grace to "keep it classy" and do our duty with much love for it is His work for us at such a time as this:)

    @athomeimmum2247 4 ปีที่แล้ว

    So many elements of life that ground and keep me content and calm stem from homemaking...without my husband, children and our home I literally don't know where I'd be...especially in these times.
    Being in love, sharing love and building each day to be the next in your story is what makes me whole. Hello from the UK.
    Thank you for sharing and stay safe.

May the Lord bless you and your family. 🥰

    "Late to the party" Karen here, but I want to add my voice to those below to say your worshipful lullaby was such a tender, sweet ending and a blessing. Thank you for sharing. I used to bake 4 loaves of whole wheat bread weekly for my little tribe and LOVED it (I did the kneading by hand as I didn't have a Kitchenaid at that point). You're reminding me to get out the yeast and start baking again. Blessings, Jennifer, for your uplifting videos and gentle reminders of what is important in this crazy world.

    Such a lovely meditation. I think this video really reflects what the take away can be from this season. Finding the joy and beauty of this slow time together. Let’s us not waste this time when our schedules are wiped clean and our loved ones are gathered near to us. Even if we are solo and far from family, it is a time to take care of yourself and cultivate something new and wonderful in your life. This season will pass and life, with out a doubt, will hurry back up.
