You couldn’t find the perfect video so you made it ;) You’re ‘confession’ on spending 10 minutes’ to find the perfect video to do the thing made me laugh out loud, i do exactly the same 😂🙈
Yes me too 😅 it does work for me, it makes me (almost) excited to clean, but sometimes you become depended on it (like finding a video to listen to while brushing my teeth, I’m not proud of it 😄)
This is what my dear Mum used to tell me when asked how she didn't get bored washing the dishes or other household chores: "I don't mind because I don't think about it, it needs to be done so I just do it, and think about other things while doing it :) ". She worked full time as a teacher, raised 3 children, was a wonderful woman, wife an mother with lots of hobbies, she loved arts, entertaining and could easily cook delicious French meals for 16 people or more. Our house was always beautiful and clean. She grew up during WW2 and appreciated everything life has to offer, and what was really important. When I dread doing some chores I always remember her encouraging, loving and wise words. My Dad was a scientist, very busy too but he also did chores, and I always admired that because at that time, I could see most men didn't do much at home, if anything. And my brothers grew up the same way, doing household chores too. We all saw it as a "practical" thing to do :)
I needed this reminder. I call myself a recovering slob because I enjoy a clean environment but my tendency is toward mess. Like you said once I just start cleaning I love it. The peace of mind it brings is amazing. My mind can de-stress.
My least favorite room to clean is also the bathroom. I get tired of cleaning in the kitchen, too, because there is always more to do. I cook most things from scratch, which makes lots of dishes. (Fortunately, I have helpers, so I don't have to do it ALL.) I've found that if I have a good audiobook it makes the time go so much faster. Sometimes, I will look for more tasks so I can finish a chapter or see how the characters get out of a crisis.
I'm going to be honest. I pretty much hate cooking and cleaning---except for the times when I am alone and I have one or two days off work. That's the only time it's peaceful enough to find some kind of peace which makes doing it less hard. I work 50 hours a week, so I find homemaking another job on my ever-increasing list of things to do. That said, I still have to cook and clean and try to find little ways of encouraging myself to complete projects---even little ones. We are renting an apartment that doesn't have a dishwasher and I found a way to encourage myself to do dishes. I bought a really nice set of kitchen towels, a really nice grapefruit scented dish liquid and a diffuser and decorated the little nook above the sink which has a window. I also placed some secorative electric candles and I often do dishes and make lunches late at night because I can do it in solitude while playing very soft music. Now I have to figure out how to make closet organization better!
This reminds me of a really great older man from our church. At his funeral they said one of his favorite sayings was, "If there's something you need to do and don't want to do it. --- DO IT ANYWAY!" It's such a simple, no brainer, but that has stuck with me and I have used that advice many times. 😊
Cleaning the bathroom may not be fun in the present but when it’s done oh how sweet it is! There is nothing like walking into a beautiful crisp and clean bathroom! Always worth it! One of the things that majorly helped me was not keeping anything on the bathroom surfaces. I learned this from konmari and I never looked back. Cut my cleaning time majorly!!
This is just what I needed. My life includes farm animals, goats and chickens and dogs. My demands are different, yet the house most especially needs to be cleaned! Thank you Jennifer ❣️. It does take time to look for accompaniment...🙃
Watching this when the bathroom has been on my to-do list for days 😆 I don’t mind toilets because they’re so quick and easy but showers make me procrastinate.
The shower! Ugh! But I learned a method I love. Always have your scrubby handy and do one wall a day (count the floor as the 5th wall) each day that you shower. One wall only takes a couple minutes! WahLah, your shower is “always” clean. 😉
Many years ago I worked with a woman who would whinge about each task before doing it and I would often think ‘you could have had it done by now’. I certainly don’t like some chores - vacuuming etc - and will promise myself something nice or good once it’s done. Or do them first to get out of the way. Stay safe and best wishes from Australia 🇦🇺
Its so nice to know that I am not the only one who dislikes doing some household chores. What helps me is Tony Robbins subliminal by relaxation overview i think it is. But listening to the subliminal makes me want to do something. That is my tip.
These tips are so true and always timeless. That’s my favorite way to do my homemaking. I love the overlays you are using, they are so helpful and informative 🌹
I’m so glad you and Blueland found each other! I found them in late 2019 so was happily stocked up on lovely, foaming hand soap when we all started washing better and more often. I love their dish soap powder too! And thank you for you continuing inspiration. ❤️
Seeing your books at the end of this video reminded me it’s time to read them again. Not just for the good information but because they are so enjoyable!
I will usually find a good True Crime or History podcast that is an hour long and then really get stuck in doing everything I need to do. Then, tea time :)
I love homemaking. I wish I could stay home so I can have time to enjoy it. Working full time and coming home to cook and tidy up can be so exhausting. Thats why I enjoy weekends, because of the extra time I have at home.
Very true - a LOT of time wasted in "organising" myself or planning how I'm going to do the things when I should be just DOING them. Have put this into practice today and feel very productive!
Very timely! I have always been a "to-do" list writer, and it can definitely be a form of procrastination. Thanks for the motivation to just get cleaning!
There!....beautifully done....I like the easy music, practicality, realness, ....... I count cleaning an ART work...a gift to me, and my family, and guests (if someone just pops-in, which is the highth of hospitality).... part of being prepared for the unexpected; ( Angels uaware).....
Jennifer, beautiful executed! As always, I thoroughly enjoyed this video. You videography has become so whimsical and mesmerizing - Each video is truly a work of art! Thank you for sharing 💗
Love this! I must say I miss practical homemaking and have learned to appreciate it now that we are in the middle of kitchen construction with drywall dust everywhere! I can wait to have to chance to clean a "put together" house again.
Was just thinking that the title of this video would be an amazing book - Practical Homemaking with Jennifer Scott:) You are such an inspiration for all of us. ❤️
How funny! I have just switched to Blueland products! Although the bottles they sell to use with the products have bad reviews, the products are very effective. I simply order the refills and use my own containers. I started the function of beauty products you recommended and they are amazing! My hair is the best it has ever been. Thanks for your helpful and practical inspiration.
Hi Melissa, we're so glad you're enjoying your refills! We'd love to answer any questions you might have about bottles! Please reach out to us at help@blueland.com and we can assist you further :)
My least favourite is folding washing, I always do one load a day from start to finish and i wont do another, with sheets being the exception. The last few days i havent been able to do washing because of an injury flare up, so i got it all washed today and this was the perfect video to sit with and get it all folded ❤️ now all i have to do is sneak into bedrooms to put it all away without waking any little people 😅
I need to watch this every Monday, not just today! Thank you for this practical encouragement in our homemaking. Your bathroom reminds me of a latte, which is absolutely delightful. I also enjoyed the lovely flowers and music. ☕️🌷🎶
You're such an inspiration. Your home is gorgeous. One of the things I got from Atomic Habits is to not overthink the task but to just show up. I love that you emphasized this. Side note: One of the cleaning tools I recommend if you don't like cleaning the tub and shower is the Clorox Extendable Pole and Tub Scrubber. You can find it at Target and it's a back saver.
You’re the most practical person I can think of, a true inspiration, because your videos are to the point and clear and make a difference. I’m a procrastinator but your videos make me think just let’s get stuck in, rather than listening to hours upon hours of “how to’s” - just do it! 🙈😂..

I love the Blueland tablets! I have to warn you though, almost every single acrylic bottle I’ve gotten from there has cracked and broken! I just use my own glass bottles and the tablets and it works wonderfully ☺️
Hi Marianne, We're sorry to hear that! We'd love to assist you further and send any necessary replacements if you could kindly reach out to us at help@blueland.com :)
@@blueland6339 hi guys! I’ve already gotten bottle replacements in the past and those ones broke too unfortunately. I did see y’all were partnering at one time and had glass bottles- I’m sure those are perfect! I just had bad luck with the acrylic. Still love the tablets!
Thank you Jennifer for sharing this with us very soothing I think I need to get that kind of music going for my cleaning.hope you have a great week. God bless you and your family. 💖 😊 👍 🙏 🦋
Your video is calming & what a pretty bathroom. Don't you see sometimes in videos or articles it is vety helpful if when a person demonstrates something, such as cleaning something for example, they do it correctly? That would be very practical. Not every new homemaker knows how to clean. For example when mopping the floors you should first vacuum or sweep thoroughly, getting deeply into the corners along the baseboards and under the cabinets, behind and under things. I will look up those cleaning products too. I saw you in Victoria Magazine and will be checking out more of your videos
Hi Jennifer, I too have searched for the perfect video to listen to while cleaning... When I find it I start watching it instead of cleaning! Anyway, this was another wonderful video. I noticed on your nightstand a book called "Mrs. Beeton's Book of Household Management" I have that book and it is so interesting how they did things so long ago. That might be a fun Chic Assignment someday. Thank you for a helpful video! xo, Karen
Jennifer, after a week under the snow in Texas, your video just made me feel a little bit more human. I'm happily cleaning away, and feel almost myself again! Love everything you do. As always! Vous etes parfaite!! :)
Hi Jennifer! I'm from Sri Lanka and ww eat lentils every for the all 3 meals. Please search "Srilankan lentil curry or Srilankan dhal curry". You'd love it. It goes really well with bread, rice, noodles etc.
I find making the rest of the bedroom nice and tidy and leaving his things in a big pile on the floor beside his bed (where nobody can see it) illuminates the point 😂
For me, since I know that I like things a certain way, I don't put it on my husband to do everything the way I want it, when I want it. I just try to remember how much I love him and love caring for him and that if anything happened to him, how I would miss him--mess and all, and my frustration usually goes away. :)
I love red lentils! Thank you for the recipe! I make a spiced red lentil soup for lunch on a regular basis. So easy and fast! I love the idea of wearing a midi dress around the house too and want to try it. It is actually probably more practical (speaking of) and comfortable than jeans in some ways. Thank you, Jennifer!
Ugh... When you said you rather dislike cleaning grout. My kitchen and bathroom floors have grout and when it’s their zone, I don’t think I just do it. Somewhat begrudgingly and with a glass of wine. 😬 I enjoy caftans around the house. 👘
We need a mass collab from all our favorite homeschool moms from different states! I live in Virginia and it's my first year homeschooling and have no clue what I need to do by the August 1st dead line 😱
I wanted to love Blueland. I love the idea of no plastic. I did not love the product performance and the bottles broke so quickly for me. We use branch basics now. Still a little plastic output but much less.
I like that you've included something Panamanian in your meal. Do you speak Spanish with your children? My children are trilingual. It was tough, but worth it
I've been curious. Do you have a cleaning service also, with you maintaining the cleaning in between? I have a couple lovely ladies who give my house a good scrubbing every 2 weeks. (It was every week when our 3 kids were here!) I sweep and wipe things down in between.
I enjoyed this video so much! AND I love red lentils but haven't made them in awhile. I was about to do my weekly menu planning and aside from the banana, I have all of the things to make this exact meal this week! :) Thanks so much, Jennifer! You're lovely in every way. (heart)
I'm very blessed! My husband and son wash our two bathrooms weekly. I just maintain them daily. Jennifer, how do you manage all the chores on your own?? Bless your heart!
I love that your sponsor is blueland! I am in the process of transitioning all our products to plastic free or zero waste as I use things up. The only criticism I’ve heard of blue land is the bottles. Do they feel sturdy to you?
This is so true. Just do it. Jennifer I can’t see your video. It’s covered by a paragraph of words. I’ve never seen this before on any TH-cam video. Is this on my end or yours?
Hi Beth, TH-cam has a new subtitle feature that seems to have malfunctioned on my video. I believe I've corrected it. Hope that helps. Thanks for watching!
So Jen, how long did it take to fully clean and tidy your bathroom this day? I get these times stuck in my mind that it will take forever and that I just don’t have the time -so I procrastinate... did it really take a long while? Blessings from TX
thanks Jennifer, love your homemaking vids!! I noticed your drying racks at the end... have you looked into the ones that hang from the ceiling? those ones made a ton of space in my laundry room! : )

Imagine how productive we could be if we actually just worked instead of talking about working.🌿🌸
"We need to acknowledge our resistance" - I needed to hear that, Jennifer. Thank you for inspiring me to have a clean, beautiful home.

That's awesome! I have help. I just don't put my family in my videos. Thank you!
Amazing video so encouraging I have been procrastinating a spring clean I have been inspired to crack on and do it now xxx
Have you ever collabed with the Simple Sophisticate podcast? I feel like that’s a match made in heaven.
I love Shannon! She is a friend. Yes, I have been a guest on her podcast...
@@TheDailyConnoisseur that would be a wonderful collab! What episode were you on? I will check it out! Her podcast is really fantastic.
Good advice, this is something I need to work on. Thanks Jennifer
I love the Isotoner slippers. I ordered navy and ivory. I live in them!❤️❤️
Jennifer: Who likes scrubbing toilets? I don't think anyone does.
Me: That's my favorite thing to clean! 😅
I love a clean bathroom! Anyone else?
Just what I needed for this hour!
I love that your sponsor is blueland! I am in the process of transitioning all our products to plastic free or zero waste as I use things up. The only criticism I’ve heard of blue land is the bottles. Do they feel sturdy to you?
Hi Chelsey, the bottles have been great so far. I've used them for several weeks. No clicking...
I enjoyed your music choice. Thank you.
Thanks a ton Jennifer..needed this motivation so much..loved the video👌💖
That was fun. I teased myself with this video all day 🙂 it was worth it!
The lentil dish looks delicious! I will try it soon. Thank you, Jennifer. Love Kirkland No Salt seasoning, my old faithful! 😊
It's a good one!
I loved everything about this 💕💕
This is so true. Just do it. Jennifer I can’t see your video. It’s covered by a paragraph of words. I’ve never seen this before on any TH-cam video. Is this on my end or yours?
Hi Beth, TH-cam has a new subtitle feature that seems to have malfunctioned on my video. I believe I've corrected it. Hope that helps. Thanks for watching!
So Jen, how long did it take to fully clean and tidy your bathroom this day?
I get these times stuck in my mind that it will take forever and that I just don’t have the time -so I procrastinate... did it really take a long while?
Blessings from TX
Your house is so beautiful
thanks Jennifer, love your homemaking vids!! I noticed your drying racks at the end... have you looked into the ones that hang from the ceiling? those ones made a ton of space in my laundry room! : )
Hello! I find the music in this video very interesting. Can you tell me the name of them, please? Thank you!
