Hi! Appreciate your calmness, the way you speak...it's therapeutic, your simplicity when preparing your dishes, even your beautiful Pets. Thanks sooo much for letting us into Your World. Take care!!🌺
I agree about making the bed first thing. It feels like starting the day with a win. :) Loved seeing your fur babies in this video!
It is in theory a very good concept - however unfortunately very unhygienic...
Airing the bedding for a few hours would definitely be preferable from a hygienic standpoint.
No Kevin the best scrambled eggs sre done in the microwave No butter whisk every 30 secs more healthy enjoy x
You are right! You first air out your room, including the bed on which the blankets have been pulled way down. After about 20 minutes, THEN you make your bed. I cannor even imagine making a bed one has slept in all night without airing it out first!
I loved this video, Kevin! It’s nice to see glimpses of your beautiful home and your typical day. As always, love the recipes you share! I hope your channel booms! 💕
I do make my bed every morning. I like it that way.
I do make my bed early on in my day. I too am an early riser. I DO allow the moisture in my bedding to dissipate before arranging my bedding, a key point in keeping bedding fresh between washings which I do every two weeks. I change pj’s after 3 wearing which also helps keeping things fresh.
I LOVE watching your channel. I wish I had not lost my exercise routine over the last few years,it really did serve me well. My life changed and I have found it difficult to reintroduce what I was doing back then to my frustration. If I am going to try some of your lovely recipes I MUST return to some sort of routine. YOUR CHANNEL may be the thing that motivates me sufficiently to begin 😊! Thank You Kevin, and yourlovelyvideographerfor ALL you both do 💕!
When I make my bed in the morning everything falls into place. I don’t even leave my room before my bed is made. I can relax and drink my coffee in peace. Thank you for sharing your life and gardens with us. So refreshing to go at your pace! Love your channel!
I love the aubergine colour you have over the rail in your drawing room.❤️
Binky loves you so much, he knows that you saved him for sure.
You match the harmonies and balances of life, your pets, and great cooking with style! Thank you again for sharing your life and talent. You relax my mind and get me cookin'!
I would love to make my bed but my dog peanut is not an early riser and he stays in bed cozy until about 9. I’m off to other things by then. He is the boss! I love your channel.
Love your new video/channel format with the relaxing music and logo! Going to have to pickup your cookbook soon. I want to live the Kevin Lee Jacobs lifestyle! Keep up the fabulous work!
Thank you for your kind comment. I really appreciate it!
He always has the best music mix! Back when Binky’s soul graced our earth! The Gilded Age series is wonderful! I wish we all still dressed like that. SUBSCRIBED!!!!
How divine! So great to see a glimpse of your everyday life. I like how you cultivate it all like a garden. Tending it all with time, care, workouts and appreciation. 🌿🌼
Kevin am so glad to see you including the use of butter, a good fat instead of over processed and harmful vegetable oils. This was a great episode!
You're life is wonderfully amazing Kevin and your fur babies are delightful and adorable 🥰🐈🐕🦺 and your house is definitely old New England style very beautiful 🏫. I'm going to try your recipes they look so good 👍😊👍
Like you I feel like making my bed helps start the day successfully!
Hey Kevin! You made my Sunday night again. Really appreciated the video of your day. Good advice too, early to bed and early to rise and a full day in between, so wise! My aunt used to say you have to earn your rest. Going to make the lemon bread tomorrow and watch your landscaping video tonight before bed. So nice to be able to add gardening to our days now that winter if finally behind us. Your Avery looks amazingly like my rescue dog Lucky who passed away at 13. I still miss him, he was a good bed sharer. Thanks again for your inspirations!
Cats and dogs know good people, yours simply adore you. It adds to the genuine idea that you create your own home atmosphere.
Love the way the kitty was sleeping with you on the bed she was so cute and the food looks so so scrumptious as always thank you so much for a beautiful beautiful video
So glad to hear you're working on a new cookbook. I love your first one and use it all the time. I am jealous of your farm store! The pets are adorable.
So glad you are enjoying the cookbook!
I do the same thing in my mornings. I get up, walk the dog, make my tea, then go straight to the bedroom and make my bed. It's true, making the bed gives me a feeling of accomplishment so that psychologically I'm ready for the day.
I enjoyed this video. Yes and Yes I cant start my day without making my bed. No wrinkles either haha What sweet animals you have. Especially the cat :o)
I'm late to the comments as I just recently discovered your channel, enjoying it so much! Going to try several recipes and also using your technique for creating a fresh greens runner for my Thanksgiving table. I ALWAYS make the bed, but not first thing. My mom (born in 1930) grew up on a farm and she said the bed should 'air out' for a little while before making it every morning. Don't know if there is science behind this but that's what I've always done. Thank you for the day in the life 😄
I love when your pets are in the videos! And that lemon cake looked so good. I bet it smelled so good in your kitchen.
Hi Kevin, I just found you on you tube! I love your home and your pets! I have been to that farm also. My daughter lived in Chatham for two years so I became familiar with the area! Gorgeous there. I will watch more! Love from Boston.
I enjoyed this video very much. Binky and Avery are so adorable. Your videos always give me so much joy and peace. Also, I might make the pound cake tomorrow, it looks lovely.
The lemon cake is downright addicting. I hope you enjoy it!
Your videos are so inspiring and motivating!! I make my bed everyday, cannot stand an unmade bed and Isabella my cat curls up next to me. I adore the Guilded Age (Mark Twain.). I love your gentle, relaxing way. Hope you can schedule a Christmas Tour. Thank you!!!
I'm planning several Christmas videos -- thank you so much for watching, Jordan!
Kevin, you are looking leaner! I don't think you needed to trim down but you are showing the fruits of your labor.
I love all the attention your fur babies get from you.
Thank you, Virginia. I'm doing my best to work off the winter weight-gain. As for the fur babies, they are a constant source of entertainment!
Yes, making my bed always gets my day off to a good start.
Wow! Envious of the 5 am get up time. Not sleeping well through the night, means I am rolling over at 5 for my second sleep. Beautiful morning hours I usually don’t see. And, yes to making the bed every day. A winner for sure. What a positive day in every way. Cookbook??? Still planning for Christmas of this year? Only found your channel recently, but immediately loved all the recipes, which you make so simple and doable.
Yes I make my bed first thing before I leave my bedroom. Toss my covers back to get a little air make sure the wrings are out then make it.
I was watching the TH-cam video of the Pike County Massacre trial when I noticed this video in the side bar. I decided it would be much better for my mental health to watch your "A Day in the Live" video. Your videos are delightful! Thank you for making me happy.
Wonderful vlog, it really warmed my heart to see your cat being so healthy, playful and "normal" after the hardship it/you had to fight. Amazing -actually nearly too perfect - lifestyle you live at the moment, happy for you. Thank you ❤️
Hi Kevin….my day runs similar to you. I start my day at 5 and always make my bed. I have a daily plan includes what needs to be accomplished and dinner plans. It’s a very flexible schedule open to a spur of the moment change. I am an afternoon reader so I always take time after lunch to enjoy the day and read. I have three dogs which I walk with other doggy friends after dinner. I usually get in about 3 miles. During the day, they have access to my large yard. I only watch Jeopardy and some UTube, then light reading and lights out by 11. Love your channel 🐾💕🐾
Wow Binky has gotten big and more beautiful. That lemon pound cake looks so good
Mr. Lee, your book is going to be a fabulous Christmas present. I'll get it for myself
Loved this day with you. I’ve read Provence 1970 and it is a great read.
Kevin thank you for cheering your day with us,I get so much inspiration , your Home is so inviting ,and yes most of the time I make my bed,but I find it Important to air it out , before I make it
Hi Kevin, just a simple dressing you might like to try . It's called 3,2,1. 3 of olive oil, 2 of balsamic vinegar and 1 of honey. Its really delicious over salad and you can make teaspoons or tablespoons. Depending on how much you need. Hope you like it. I did wonder that you don't grow your own arugula and radish, they are so easy.
I just read "Provence 1970" a couple of months ago. I enjoyed it very much. I did not know very much about MFK Fisher and did not realize that she helped found the Napa Wine Library. Living in San Francisco, my husband and I have attended several events hosted by the Napa Wine Library.
Hi Mark - That "Provence" book sent me down the MFK Fisher rabbit-hole. I have since purchased and read several of her books, including "How to Cook A Wolf." MFK was an amazing story-teller. Then there's Richard Olney...
@@kevinleejacobs1364 I am down the same rabbit-hole. I now have "Serve It Forth" in my stack of books yet to read. Thanks for reminding me about Richard Olney.
So good see that Binky get it! With your precious help!
Hello Kevin, I just found your channel I was attracted by your tea sandwiches. Once upon a time i collected and used many beautiful things to set my table for dinners, and to serve a special tea for my friends.. My husband and I used to watch BBC series, such as “The Jewel in the Crown” and other classics each week at “tea time” I usually drink coffee, However.for watching BBC, I would prepare a fancy afternoon tea.It was fun. I do not make my bed in the mornings in the traditional way. I am a widow now, in my late 70’s and I have a waterbed. Sheets are the very devil to use on a waterbed. I have old injuries that are painful and I make my bed for comfort with quilts and blankets that only require shaking out and smoothiing. No mitered corners for me anymore I live in NW WA and it gets chily in the fall and downright freezing in winter, the heated waterbed keeps my bones warm. :)
Thank you for this lovely snippet of life in the Jacobs' home! You asked if your viewers would reply with their morning bed-making routine. Lifelong dog lover here, and I have a new little four-legged rescue acquired after I lost my previous dog, a Jack Russell, to cancer last winter. For the first time ever I have a dog that prefers to sleep in! Previously, I wakened and rose at exactly 5:50 a.m. every day most of my life (without an alarm clock, no idea why it was so precise) but my terriers were fully on board with that. This little one, though, not so much. He much prefers to remain curled up in a fuzzy blanket at the foot of the bed until nearly 7 - meaning that bedmaking awaits his own rising! PS is that framed art Redoute roses?
Making the bed really does seem to set the pace for the rest of ur day doesn’t it?! U r such a wonderful and inspiring person. U make me want to do and be better in my days at home for my family. I need to be like u and get up and going each fay with a good workout to start it off. It seems like if I get busy with other things after morning coffee that workout just never comes. Thk u so much for sharing ❤
You're so calming 😇 food made with love tastes that best!
Making bed in the morning is a must for me-it’s a habit since childhood.
Hello Kevin - I have just discovered you!! What a lovely find. I've been binge watching and have enjoyed every moment. I noted with interest that you enjoy a book at bedtime to switch off, as do I. May I recommend a lovely book by an english writer/cook/presenter called Nigel Slater. All his cookbooks are great, but the book that stole my heart and I would love you to read is called 'The Christmas Chronicles'. It is a beautiful book to celebrate the coming Christmas season with, or as someone described it as a 'hymn to winter'.
Yes, I do make my bed each morning...Thank you for sharing your day...what an inspiration....You are appreciated...
I recently found your videos. I have made several of your recipes and enjoyed them all. Your manner of speaking is mesmerizing and a little bit hypnotic. If I wake up in the morning clucking like a chicken, you are to blame. Ha! Seriously, really enjoy the recipes you prepare and also showing us your home. Thank you.
You make your home a castle of joy and tranquility. Love your videos God bless
What a nice video. Thanks for sharing, I love the dark purple wall and of course your entire house is lovely. It was especially great to see BINKY.
Oh dear.....well, you have encouraged me to push myself to get up earlier and exercise! 😊
Being out of work and out of a routine has allowed me to fall into some pretty useless habits. Thank you for this gentle reminder to make the most of each day! ❤
I have always enjoyed your chanel and your recipes Kevin. That being said, I am enjoying your new changes, your new camera techniques, and most of all the fact that you have not changed your commentary. This video of your typical day gives us a picture of who you are without getting too personal. I would love to see more of the planning and shopping that goes into your cooking and planting. I am really excited about your new cookbook! I love the last one and am looking forward to the new one! Save one for me OK??
Thank you so much, Linda!
I want your cookbook!!. I have just discovered you. I wish I had discovered you much sooner. You have so much knowledge and you are an incredible instructor. You make the recipes so easy to understand. Thank you.
Hi Kevin, I just discovered your channel- it's fabulous! You truly are a gracious person!!
As soon as I get up I make my bed. It starts my day.
I used to make the bed as soon as we got up, but years ago I read you should leave the covers open to let the bed breath, so I leave it for hours. Thank you for the recipes, very enjoyable.
Do I see. mr.Potato Head? Love it! Plus the recipe and berry farm!
I cant wait for your cook book this Christmas.
First thing I make my bed. I know people say To wait. To brush my teeth, get dressed so your bed cools and airs out.
I grew up first thing make bed quickly and get ready for school.
I love watching you prepare these wonderful dishes. So easily, so uncomplicated.
Hi Kevin, thanks for the video and a look at your day. I always make my bed, even if I don't do anything else productive that day, the bed has been made and I feel good about that. Take care.
Thank you for sharing your day💕
You have a lovely home and many magnificent gardens. I can see that all of the designing of everything screams, this is a place for entertaining. Even your meals say this is perfect for sharing with friends,family and loved ones. I would love to see your home and your gardens in full swing, alive with laughter, with you enjoying all your hard work, with loved ones, family and friends. You by yourself seems so empty. I am so happy that you have your animals.
I recently found your channel, so I scrolled back and thought I would look at a few things you posted earlier... I had a roommate in college who was from Lake Geneva New York... so when you talk about living in New York I have an idea of the way the country lies.. yes my spouse and I take turns making our bed... I usually rise first in the mornings as we are retired.. I love to cook and currently I am fascinated with the Mediterranean diet... The food is healthy and there is a great variety of food as well as styles of preparation... as I have gotten older I enjoy things that are simple... I enjoy your channel and plan to listen to more of your videos... I live in Little Rock Arkansas..
I am binging on your videos and I love them all. I have made several of your recipes and they are all keepers. I think I have made your red pepper soup 4 times already. And I totally agree with the last comment - if I am stressed or just not feeling 100% all I need to do is watch you for an hour. thanks so very much!!!!!
Absolutely fabulous video what a fantastic day...and oh my god how binky has grown and she so loves you. Xxx
Yes, I do make my bed every morning, I continuously clean my bath room everyday, clean my kitchen everyday wiping cabinets and refrigerator, clean my sink and wipe kitchen stove and countertops. I love a clean house. Love your home it’s beautiful, wished I was a great cook like you but making good food has always eluded me. Take care and thank you for all your special videos, I just love them.
Hello Kevin! I used to buy ready-cooked bacon from Costco which I found the best since sliced bread but you now gave me an idea to cook up a whole lot and freeze it.
I suggest you get yourself a French whisk for that small glass jug of yours. It works the best. Go try it!
I like your videos. You have class - lots of class. 🥰🥰🥰
Kevin, what a beautiful video. Thank you for sharing! I will look for the book you are reading “Provence, 1970.” It sounds like I will enjoy it. I reminds me of “My Life In France” by Julia Child. It is one of those bios that I turn to again and again to remind me of my first obligation to cooking - loving the … I guess you can say…. The aesthetics of cooking and food. I like your new format.
Luke Barr's "Provence, 1970" is an engaging read. I'm re-reading it for the third time!
@@kevinleejacobs1364 Thank you so much for sharing your positivity, talent, and class with us.
I'm so excited to have discovered your channel, and can't wait to support and order your new book. Please share update on "how to" information.
Yes animal lovers are the best people!
I’m such a Kevin wannabe! Lovely & inspiring video🤩
I, too, love this video. Your home is beautiful. Thank you for sharing it with us.
Many blessings to you, your spouse, and your pets.
Yes I sure do make my bed every morning... BUT I have to admit that for years while working out of the home I did not. I was Always running late in the AM. Now retired oh how life has changed.. Enjoyed your a day in the life. Blessings..
Hi Kevin I found your channel this week. I commented on you adopting Binky and you sent me a message, thank you, even though it was an older video.
I’m a retired Australian. My passions are gardening, Gus the cat, the grandkids and cooking or maybe it’s more like I’ve loved this recipe all my very long life and I don’t want to eat foams and smell fragrances instead of real food.
Your food is very familiar to me, the best ingredients to produce healthy, hearty delicious food. Marvellous!
Congratulations on a place where I feel at home even if your air isn’t scented with eucalyptus but rather conifers and crab-apples.
Now you must excuse me I have some catching up to do.🇦🇺🦘
Binky brought me here, Kevin! Wow, I feel exhausted after watching your routine ! ( I am such a slacker in comparison, ha ,ha!)
I make my bed and open my curtains every single day….Gives me a sense of fulfillment….That book, I have read 4x’s….I love it…Best regards!!!
Very enjoyable. Yes I do routinely make my bed in the morning and end with a good book at night. Thank you for your delights!
This brought me joy. Happy 2024 and peace always. K - San Francisco
Wonderful video. I loved seeing the balance in your day. I read “Provence 1970” a few years ago. Richard Olney was intriguing.
Hi Kevin,
I really enjoyed the video. You are such an animal lover, and people who love animals are the good people in life, don’t you think? Yes! I make my bed almost immediately when I leave it. We do not put the big “Ta Da” bedspread and pillows on the bed unless company comes, but we make the bed with the blanket and sheets pulled up and folded over every day. I have garlic chives growing perennially in the greenhouse. They are just fabulous in just about everything non-sweet. Speaking of sweet, that lemon bread looked Divine! I have to make that. Your garnishes had me going “Oh, oh, oh!” The rose petals just made it picture worthy. It was just the prettiest bread I have ever seen. I wish we were neighbors. I would have someone to share my baked goodies with as well. Thank you for the video.
Thank you for sharing your day . Avery & Binky are delightful . I bet the cake was Delish !
Binky is adorable!!
Hehehe. This was so cute! Thank you, again, for showing us how to take pleasure in all the finer (yet simple) things in life! Wishing you and your channel continued success.
Hi Kevin, I absolutely love your videos. I do hope that you will do more videos of your home. That house is so beautiful so charming I love the fireplace the windows I love how you have thoughtfully decorated and painted. The rooms and wallpaper is stunning. I love your recipes and your cooking your tea Part I appreciate all that you show us. Thank you so much I love the little trips to the store. I am an artist and I live in Maine on the coast and I love watching these videos as I am 82 and just broke my shoulder. OK thank you for showing us your home and please show us more rooms And decoration decorations
You are one busy guy! Thoroughly enjoyed this day in your life. I feel motivated to do all the things you do. Lol. Thanks for sharing with us. By the way, making my bed is a must every day.
Thank you for watching. And major kudos to you for making your bed every day!
Your radishes reminded me of the dinner party in A Year in Provence where they an hors d'oeuvre of radishes and salt
Hi Kevin!
I'm definitely making the cake and buying the book. Thank you as always for being so calm and happy. ❤
What a lovely day! The lemon cake looks delicious too!
Kevin, please take us on a tour of your gardens again!! I 💗 your outdoor space!!
Omgoodness I sooo loved your adorable cat on the bed at the end of the video...obviously a very happy home, much love to you all. (I'm new and very much enjoying your videos )
I loved your video! Thank you for sharing your busy day. I hope you will do more of these in the future.
Yes, I have to make my bed every morning. Love your recipes looking forward to your cookbook.
I'm still sporadic about a routine, even in my late 70's. I enjoy dressing my bed with a variety of linens just as I do dressing the dining room table. But while one day might be busy and productive, the next might be very laid back. Your pets performed perfectly in the video. So glad little Binky was rescued by you. Thanks for sharing your busy life.
Amazing exercise program, Kevin! Yes I make my bed! Please do a garden or house tour soon...love those and so do my grandchildren...so inspirational.
Hi Helen - On my TH-cam home page you can select "playlists." There, you will find all of my house tours and garden tours. Hope you enjoy the videos!
Yes...Making the bed is the first thing we do every day...It is like you said, "Making the bed gives you a kind of quick feeling of accomplishment"...It is a good way to start the day!
Love your videos! What a Beautifull soul you are! 😻😻😻
OMGoodness! What a lovely cake, and the addition of lavender is unique and charming. I was raised in England, and I often enjoyed radish Sammie’s with my Nanny. She used buttered bread and thinly sliced radish. I love your salad. Very nicely done. Thank you as always, for a very nice day. Be Blessed every day of your life. ♥️🕊🙏🧏♀️
Another wonderful video. Yes i make my bed the start of every morning.😊
Can't wait for the new book. I loved your comments about making your bed before you start the day I also find this as a great step into my new day. But must confess when I was younger the only time my bed got made was when changing sheets or if company were coming. I'm new to your posts and am enjoying them. Charlene
You are so very inspiring Kevin. Thank you,
I have always wondered what your day looked like! It seemed to me there wouldn't be enough hours in a day to do all that you do. Turns out you do even MORE than I thought! The keys seem to be organization and never too much time spent on just one or two activities. I do make my bed every morning. That way, I accomplish at least one thing every day. It also starts my day in a positive direction.
Wow! I love your life 😊👍🏻👏🏼🙏🏻
Hi Kevin...love the video and the glimpse into a typical day for you...I jeard you mention a new cookbook on the horizon...I was wondering when that might be available??? I have your 1st cookbook and can't wait to add the 2nd one to my collection!!! Love all that you do!
Sadly, cookbook won't be ready for Christmas 2022. I'm hoping for 2023!
@@kevinleejacobs1364 aww....that's Ok...thank you for responding...I will be looking forward to it next year!!!❤Jave a wonderful holiday season Kevin!💚❤💚❄❄❄
What a lovely video, loved your pets, thanks a lot for share your typical day. Greetings from S.L.P. México.
