With chronic pain I’m able to use my electric bike to take in our God given nature & take unusual photos
I lost my daughter unexpectedly and am trying to find myself and a purpose again. Thanks for the hobby ideas. I love the gems and coloring ideas
My father has a rare form of dementia. He just turned 59. I watched this video to help me have hobbies to keep my mind busy as i have been struggling, as a 27 year old with a father in a nursing home. Its nice to see they are others going through similar times. Thanks for sharing ! I look forward to trying some of these hobbies! ❤
Loved this! I'm 83, and taking my dog for a walk is the limit of my excercise. But I do stitchery and quilting to keep busy. And I can spend hours looking at art on pinterest.
What rock star unique ideas! Never seen anyone address new hobbies to embrace. Impressive, as always!❤️
I agree with Katie: I LOVE all of these unique “rock star” ideas!! I have been searching for something NEW to try, so I’m really excited now!! I think I’ll start with the devotional/coloring book!! I have always loved to color & used to color with my son when he was little. It will bring back fond memories!!! Thanks Leslie!
I’ve done several diamond paintings❤ I make junk journal’s, crochet, embroidery, sewing, etc. Keeps my sanity and brain going while caring for my husband.
Love the legacy journal you should give it back to your daughter when you’re done!
I encourage people to use something like the legacy journal. My mother has dementia, but in the process of going through some of her things recently I came across writings she had done of her childhood and growing up and these are treasures for me right now. I also had given her a Mother's Journal for Mother's Day one year and she had filled that in also. Time goes by quickly, and our health or physical ability to write can change over time, so these opportunities to leave our messages behind are important to do in the moments we are able.
I just signed up and ordered TheFlower Letters! The same one you ordered. I can’t wait to start getting them. I love all your ideas. I rug hook and do Bible Journaling and read to relax. I love studying Gods word. I live with chronic pain 24 -7 . I’m handicap so my life is in a recliner all day and night. Chemo and radiation did a lot of damage to my body. I have Lupus also. Y’all are in my prayers always, thank you for sharing your journey with all of us. 🙏🏻❤️🤗
Great ideas, very different. I draw and paint when I can. Gardening is my thing. I don't have alot, arthritis is setting in, but I plant wildflowers and have fresh bouquets everyday all summer. My true joy. We all need those things that make us smile and is rewarding.
I’ve really been into the Diamond painting. I’m doing nativity scenes that I plan on framing and giving as gifts for Christmas! It is relaxing!
I love all of your ideas Leslie! I have something fun and enjoyable you might want to do. Every morning when we get our cup of coffee first thing, we sit down together and do Wordle, Quordle, Waffle, Nerdle and Globe. We enjoy doing the puzzles so much that we hate missing a day!
My husband and I do the mini crosswords from the NY Times.
I love playing those too. My husband isn't into them but I love word games! Wordle, Waffle, Wordle hurdle , word searches... Love them!
And Octordle. :)
Ty Leslie for the super fun & interesting ideas! I want to try many of them & will share this video w/my neighbor who retired recently & she is looking for fun things to do.
The Bible study coloring book is a great idea! You can read the study then color while you meditate on it❤️
I love these ideas! My favorite is ready a magazine like I did when I was young. It is so satisfying to turn the pages rather than swiping my phone for hours. 😊 Happy almost Easter to you and your family 🌸
Great ideas for everyone . I love British mystery movies and detective programs . I make hand made cards to send to people and supply my older sister with stationary because she loves sending things the old fashion way . Her handwriting is beautiful and she’s 82 . In the summerI love my flower garden , it’s small and enclosed , so peaceful . I also sit outside in the warm months with a coffee or tea and the little kids in the neighbour hood come visit me . We all need something that gives us pleasure right . Blessings .💕
I’ve been spending a ton of time on Pinterest. I have a board called “cozy” that’s full of images that make me feel good. It’s so perfect for scrolling through before bed. I have another board called nostalgia. I’ve been collecting images of things I had as a child and images of books and movies I loved.
Flower letter sounds so fun! I spend all my free time making journals. I've always loved paper and anything vintage so it's a fun combination. Thanks Leslie!
I love to knit! Taught myself from TH-cam a few years back. I also love to play the piano, watercolor paint, & golf!
Great video 😊
Hobbies are very therapeutic. I saw a man one time talking about how he loved the women in his life. They were so nurturing, and loving and they make him feel so loved and he knows they love taking care of the family but he couldn't figure out how these wonderful nurturing women were so obsessed with True Crime Murder Mysteries. lol It is strange but so true.
Great ideas and several I’ve never heard about. I’ve been a sewer and quilter for years and still love to sew. Recently, I returned to cross stitching. I’m amazed at how the craft has evolved and it’s been so much fun. It’s so easy to pick it up for a few minutes and get some stitches done or stitch while watching a favorite show. Because it’s so portable it’s perfect for waiting rooms for doctor appointments. 🙂
Cross stitching is my therapy☺️! So many amazing and creative designers - it’s a whole new world. I’m totally addicted!
@@gracefullstitcher4707 Who are some of these new designers?
I do stamped cross stitch. I found it during the great shut in and have done several pieces since then. Fewer options than counted cross stitch, but there are still hundreds and hundreds to choose from so I haven't felt limited yet.
Thank you for covering this! It is so frustrating as a care giver when those that are not around all the time make it a point of telling me that there isn't anything wrong with my husband and I have a problem and need to let up on him. They don't have a clue. God bless you both!
I am so glad you made this video! I also play June's Journey for free. It has helped me with my memory so much. I was experiencing some brain issues after my husband passed. I know it may sound silly but it does help. I like all of your ideas that you shared. Thank you ❤️
I loved this video. I am so sorry that you are having to deal with your husbands early onset dementia. I can tell that you have plugged yourself into the Lord for your strength
Thank you for all these great hobby ideas! I'd like to try diamond painting, June's journey and True crime murder mysteries. Couple years ago I learned how to make Sudoku and I have always Sudoku with me.
I have a Fine Art Degree with Homs, I love a good‘’mindfulness “ colouring book, all cats. Everyone needs time out 😊
I want to thank you for the ideas you shared with us,i just recivied my first flower letter i was so excited! What kind of a brainy idea,im going through my letter for the 2nd time LOVE LOVE the whole thing,can't wait for my sedond letter,thanks again..Love you and hubby❤💙
I started working on Puzzles! Love them and sometimes forget about time and work on them for hours. 😂
Love the hobbies. I have started on the gem painting. I watched someone the other day who loves magazines and she tears out the pages that mean something to her and places them in a clear sleeve and has a 3 ring binder with all of her ideas, recipes and pretty pictures. Enjoyed the video.
Hi Leslie. Well...I am over 60 and am going to give the DIY wooden house build a try. I ordered an English tea shop and can't wait to receive it. It is also a music box and lights up. Pinterest is one of my favourite pastimes as well. I love throwing a party on a theme and I've used so many of the ideas that left my guests oohing and aahing. So much fun. Have a blessed day and thanks for the fun ideas.
A musical box that lights up!?
I love that idea!!
I forgot about the Pinterest idea.....I LOVE Pinterest!!!
The flower letters sound like something I would like. I do a lot of paper crafting, card making, making journals, etc. I love sending snail mail and matching envelopes to hand made cards with perfect stamps to match and pretty handwriting. On my bucket list since I've recently retired is learning to watercolor/ paint/ lettering.
This was such a fun video! Good reminder to not get in a rut (like we all do!). Thank you for the inspiration ❤
Hi Leslie....You had recommended/suggested The Flower Letters as a gift idea, so I looked into it. I didn't know what to get my 86 year old mother for her birthday. So, I decided since she can't read like she used to and the fact that her husband just passed, that she might enjoy receiving mail and get lost in the lives and adventures of someone else. Well, she LOVES receiving them! I'm here visiting and have had the chance to read the 4 letters she's received so far! What a fun idea!!! I so appreciate all of your ideas and suggestions. I do pray for you and Jason and will continue to lift you two in prayer! Thanks again for all you do for your followers. Hugs!!
That’s awesome! I’m so happy she is enjoying them! I just love it myself also! So sofa d unique! Thank you so much for the prayers ❤️
Enjoy your channel so much!! On your coloring devotional, color a little on each page when you read the devotion and move on to the next. After you’ve gone thru the book, start over and color in on the pages again to finish up or just do this as a continuation. This would give you a goal to finish but also not get board on each page. Just a thought. Blessings to you and Jason.
My parents started together telling my daddy's story. Daddy would talk sometime they taped or mama wrote in a notebook. They had enough for a book. Daddy had dementia. We lost daddy on St Patrick's day 3 yrs ago. I miss him telling his stories. However we have his stories. Please don't wait.
You have some very unique hobbies. Great ideas. I'm glad to hear that I'm not the only one who designs a dream home that I will never live in. The one thing that is different from you. I have found a few homes that are for sale locally and I look on pinterest to decide how I would remodel and decorate them. It doesn't cost me anything and it's so much fun. Lets me be creative. Love the new tackle box and also I see you have waders.
This is why I love your channel!!
You always have fun and interesting things to share with us. I love writing letters, Scrapbooking, journaling, gardening, baking...a few more. I love tea too and your cup is so cute! I get a CS Farmhouse style mag. 😍 Thanks for these ideas! 🪻🐦🌷
Leslie, you mentioned Jane Austen when describing the letter subscription, Downton Abbey when describing the eternal bookstore, and English manor style homes you see on Pinterest. I also noticed that you're also a lover of tea. Are you a fan of all things Great Britain??? If so, me too! I'm addicted to Jane Austen movies and miniseries and am currently watching the third season of Sanditon. I also love watching many of the shows on PBS like All Creatures Great and Small. Anyway, love your videos!
Oh yes! Those are all things I LOVE! 🥰
I just started reading Anne of green gables for the first time and I’m in love with her and the country.
Thanks
Lots of wonderful ideas, Leslie! So interesting. Thank you.
Watercolor painting 💗💗🌸💗
Thanks Leslie very interesting
You might want to try PICKLE BALL as a hobby, great exercise, great camaraderie. I play about 8 hrs a week and it's so fun. I'm 70 and it's my go to for having fun and not sitting around.
A couple of tips. For the diamond painting or gem painting when u get your first project you will need an organizer for your gems & it comes w/more tools you’ll need. Amazon has them inexpensively. Also if you want to order a tea time subscription do so right away. I’m told by them that my first issue will take 2 1/2 months for the first issue to arrive.
Got the Flower Letters after seeing this! What a great, fun concept! Thank you for the inspiration!
I sent my sister a BookNook for her birthday...she loved it!!
A way to help memory is hobby for that person losing some of theirs..plus music from their growing up era❤
June's Journey is awesome! I even created a ritual, i dim down the light to see better (i play it on the computer on facebook), i prepare something to drink and snack. Love it!
Lots of good ideas. 💡 And ideas on how to vary or expand upon. 👍🏻
Unbelievable. I just looked up hobbies for women to stop me scrolling and this came up. I love YT.
Thanks Leslie for sharing some great ideas. I just ordered the devotional coloring book. I think when you are a caregiver one needs something special that you can take time for yourself to enjoy. God Bless you.....
I color a lot with my granddaughter but I have always kept books to color in. Good idea to color when you can. Those are detailed.
Yea, it’s sad to think about the loss of cursive writing. Our children and grandchildren don’t even know how to write with beautiful cursive. So many have such a lovely handwriting and it’s so pretty and each is unique. ❤️
OMG, I’ve listened to you for 30 seconds, and my mouth dropped open! First, I had just journaled “things are getting out of control.” I ALSO care for my hubs with advanced, last-stage dementia, and find that my time is spent watching movies on my iPad or scrolling! Can’t wait to listen and connect with you more. Thank you, Father, for directing me here.
Leslie I loved this video! I’ve been thinking of a way I can get my mind off of work and life so much. I’ve been tempted on the flower letters several times I may just do that. I have several antique booths to keep up on so I don’t feel like decorating my home and outdoor space after working on those all the time. It was good to see you unwind a bit.
Interesting ideas. Thanks for sharing them.
Love ❤❤❤
Love all of these ideas. Yes, time to spend less time on line!
Really fun ideas.
Thanks Leslie!
☮️💖🙏
This is absolutely fascinating! So original and inspiring. How I admire you😘
Thank you❤
I needed this video. I’ve been scrolling too much this winter. Thank you! ❤❤
What a fantastic video! I never knew most of the items mentioned even existed. Friends and family members came to mind that I could gift with a number of the products or would like to see these ideas presented as well. Thank you!
This was a GREAT video!!!
I enjoy scrapbooking and junk journaling in the colder months and anything outdoors in the warmer months.
Love these ideas and I get the "want to use my brain" - feel so checked out sometimes. Got the journal and going to look into the Murder Mystery - looks like a fun dinner party idea. Have a wonderful Easter with your loved ones. He is Risen!!!!
Love all your ideas. ❤️
I love fishing, too! Cute ideas!
Thank you for a great video!!!
Thank you for sharing your journal with us. My parents are both in there 80's. I purchased one for each of them and I'm hoping my Dad will fill his out! What a great idea!
I've been trying to think of a gift for my mom for her birthday! The Flower letters are perfect! So glad your video was randomly suggested. ❤
Great video this week!
I love geocaching. Hubby has joined me
I have done 6 diamond art pics and they are so relaxing. That's my #1 guilty pleasure. It's time for me to move on to something else. I'll be trying one of your suggestions. Thanks Leslie!!
wonderful suggestions😊😊😊
Thank You Leslie! I Love Gardening 💐💐
What a fun video.👏🏻❤️👏🏻❤️
Oh yes I am all about the book nook! I have it on my Amazon cart right now. My grandson is going to do it with me !
Love all the ideas!! Thank you!!
Thanks for sharing. Some great gift ideas😍
Thank you so much for these ideas!
Some great ideas. Thank you!
I love Diamond Dotz. My largest one I've done was 20 X 28 which has 50,480 diamonds on it.
Love all these ideas - thank you for sharing.
I love all these ideas! It is so great to see how you are doing your "self-care". The pinterest idea reminds me of when I was a kid. My sisters and I made these "Life" books where we cut people and things out of magazines and created our dream lives out of pictures. It was so fun. I enjoy hiking but I haven't done it in years unfortunately. I feel like it was so much easier to get outside when my kids were little-a trip to the park or play ground usually made everyone's day better!
GOOD IDEAS..THANK YOU
I absolutely love your blouse!
Love you and Jason thanks for your videos
Leslie you are such a sweet soul! Love your ideas
Love Diamond painting!

Thank you so much I’ve just ordered the flower letters can’t wait to receive it ❤️🌺

Thank you for the great ideas...I love June's Journey, true crime and mystery and I definitely love to color
Super cute ideas, I'm glad this came up in my suggestions! I do some surveys to get a little bit of Amazon money, so will definitely get the devotional coloring journal and gem painting.
These are such unique and fun ideas. Thanks for sharing.
I love all of your hobby ideas! Thank you for sharing them with us💕
